1 Chronicles 17

1 Now it came to pass, as David sat in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, Lo, I dwell in an house of cedars, but the ark of the covenant of the LORD remaineth under curtains.

A kad David sjeðaše kod kuæe svoje, reèe David Natanu proroku: gle, ja stojim u kuæi od kedrova drveta, a kovèeg zavjeta Gospodnjega pod zavjesima.

2 Then Nathan said to David, Do all that is in thy heart; for God is with thee.

A Natan reèe Davidu: što ti je god u srcu, èini, jer je Bog s tobom.

3 And it came to pass the same night, that the word of God came to Nathan, saying,

Ali onu noæ doðe rijeè Božija Natanu govoreæi:

4 Go and tell David my servant, Thus saith the LORD, Thou shalt not build me an house to dwell in:

Idi i reci Davidu sluzi mojemu: ovako veli Gospod: ti mi neæeš sazidati kuæe da u njoj nastavam.

5 For I have not dwelt in an house since the day that I brought up Israel to this day; but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another.

Kad nijesam nastavao u kuæi otkad izvedoh Izrailja do danas, nego sam išao od šatora do šatora i od naslona do naslona,

6 Wherever I have walked with all Israel, have I spoken a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, Why have ye not built me an house of cedars?

Kuda sam god hodio sa svijem Izrailjem, jesam li jednu rijeè rekao kome izmeðu sudija Izrailjevijeh kojima zapovijedah da pasu narod moj, i kazao: zašto mi ne naèinite kuæu od kedra?

7 Now therefore thus shalt thou say to my servant David, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheepfold, even from following the sheep, that thou shouldest be ruler over my people Israel:

Ovako dakle reci sluzi mojemu Davidu: ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: ja te uzeh od tora, od ovaca, da budeš voð narodu mojemu Izrailju.

8 And I have been with thee wherever thou hast walked, and have cut off all thy enemies from before thee, and have made thee a name like the name of the great men that are in the earth.

I bjeh s tobom kuda si god išao, i istrijebih sve neprijatelje tvoje ispred tebe, i stekoh ti ime kao što je ime velikih ljudi na zemlji.

9 Also I will ordain a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall dwell in their place, and shall be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the beginning,

I odrediæu mjesto narodu svojemu Izrailju, i posadiæu ga, te æe nastavati u svom mjestu, i neæe se više pretresati; niti æe im više dosaðivati nepravednici kao prije,

10 And since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. Moreover I will subdue all thy enemies. Furthermore I tell thee that the LORD will build thee an house.

I od onoga dana kad sam postavio sudije nad narodom svojim Izrailjem; i pokorih sve neprijatelje tvoje; nego ti javljam da æe ti Gospod sazidati kuæu.

11 And it shall come to pass, when thy days shall be ended that thou must go to be with thy fathers, that I will raise up thy seed after thee, who shall be of thy sons; and I will establish his kingdom.

I kad se navrše dani tvoji da otideš k ocima svojim, podignuæu sjeme tvoje nakon tebe, koje æe biti izmeðu sinova tvojih, i utvrdiæu carstvo njegovo.

12 He shall build me an house, and I will establish his throne for ever.

On æe mi sazidati dom, i utvrdiæu prijesto njegov dovijeka.

13 I will be his father, and he shall be my son: and I will not take my mercy away from him, as I took it from him that was before thee:

Ja æu mu biti otac, i on æe mi biti sin; a milosti svoje neæu ukloniti od njega kao što sam uklonio od onoga koji bješe prije tebe.

14 But I will settle him in my house and in my kingdom for ever: and his throne shall be established for evermore.

Nego æu ga utvrditi u domu svom i u carstvu svom dovijeka, i prijesto æe njegov stajati dovijeka.

15 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak to David.

Po svijem ovijem rijeèima i po svoj ovoj utvari kaza Natan Davidu.

16 And David the king came and sat before the LORD, and said, Who am I, O LORD God, and what is my house, that thou hast brought me thus far?

Tada doðe car David i stade pred Gospodom, i reèe: ko sam ja, Gospode Bože, i šta je dom moj, te si me doveo dovde?

17 And yet this was a small thing in thy eyes, O God; for thou hast also spoken of thy servant’s house for a great while to come, and hast regarded me according to the estate of a man of high degree, O LORD God.

I to ti se èini malo, Bože, nego si govorio i za dom sluge svojega na dugo vremena, i postarao si mi se za tu slavu zakonom èovjeèijim, Gospode Bože.

18 What can David speak more to thee for the honour of thy servant? for thou knowest thy servant.

Šta æe još David da ti govori o èasti sluge tvojega, kad ti znaš slugu svojega?

19 O LORD, for thy servant’s sake, and according to thy own heart, hast thou done all this greatness, in making known all these great things.

Gospode, sluge svojega radi i po srcu svojemu èiniš svu ovu veliku stvar, obznanjujuæi sve ove velike stvari.

20 O LORD, there is none like thee, neither is there any God besides thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

Gospode, nema takoga kakav si ti, i nema Boga osim tebe, po svemu što èusmo svojim ušima.

21 And what one nation in the earth is like thy people Israel, whom God went to redeem to be his own people, to make thee a name by great and terrible things, by driving out nations from before thy people, whom thou hast redeemed out of Egypt?

Jer koji je narod na zemlji kao tvoj narod Izrailj? radi kojega je Bog išao da ga iskupi da mu bude narod, i da steèe sebi ime velikim i strašnim djelima izgoneæi narode ispred naroda svojega, koji si iskupio iz Misira.

22 For thy people Israel didst thou make thy own people for ever; and thou, LORD, becamest their God.

Jer si uèinio narod svoj Izrailja svojim narodom dovijeka; a ti si im, Gospode, Bog.

23 Therefore now, LORD, let the thing that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house be established for ever, and do as thou hast said.

I tako, Gospode, rijeè koju si obrekao sluzi svojemu i domu njegovu neka bude tvrda dovijeka, i uèini kako si rekao.

24 Let it even be established, that thy name may be magnified for ever, saying, The LORD of hosts is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel: and let the house of David thy servant be established before thee.

Neka bude tvrda, da se velièa ime tvoje dovijeka i da se govori: Gospod nad vojskama, Bog Izrailjev jest Bog nad Izrailjem, i dom Davida sluge tvojega neka stoji tvrdo pred tobom.

25 For thou, O my God, hast told thy servant that thou wilt build him an house: therefore thy servant hath found in his heart to pray before thee.

Jer si ti, Bože moj, javio sluzi svojemu da æeš mu sazidati dom, zato se sluga tvoj usudi da ti se pomoli.

26 And now, LORD, thou art God, and hast promised this goodness to thy servant:

Tako Gospode, ti si Bog, i obrekao si sluzi svojemu to dobro.

27 Now therefore let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may be before thee for ever: for thou blessest, O LORD, and it shall be blessed for ever.

Budi dakle voljan i blagoslovi dom sluge svojega da bude dovijeka pred tobom; jer kad ti, Gospode, blagosloviš, biæe blagosloven dovijeka.
