2 Samuel 7
1 When the king lived in his house, and the LORD had given him rest from all his enemies all around,
Kad se David nastanio u svojem dvoru i kad mu je Jahve pribavio mir od svih njegovih neprijatelja unaokolo,
2 the king said to Nathan the prophet, “See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but God’s ark dwells within curtains.”
reče kralj proroku Natanu: “Pogledaj! Ja, evo, stojim u dvoru od cedrovine, a Kovčeg Božji stoji pod šatorom.”
3 Nathan said to the king, “Go, do all that is in your heart, for the LORD is with you.”
A Natan odgovori kralju: “Idi i čini sve što ti je na srcu jer je Jahve s tobom.”
4 That same night, the LORD’s word came to Nathan, saying,
Ali još iste noći dođe Natanu ova Jahvina riječ:
5 “Go and tell my servant David, ‘The LORD says, “Should you build me a house for me to dwell in?
“Idi i reci mome sluzi Davidu: Ovako govori Jahve: 'Zar ćeš mi ti sagraditi kuću da u njoj prebivam?
6 For I have not lived in a house since the day that I brought the children of Israel up out of Egypt, even to this day, but have moved around in a tent and in a tabernacle.
Nisam nikad prebivao u kući otkako sam izveo iz Egipta sinove Izraelove pa do današnjega dana, nego sam bio lutalac pod šatorom i u prebivalištu.
7 In all places in which I have walked with all the children of Israel, did I say a word to anyone from the tribes of Israel whom I commanded to be shepherd of my people Israel, saying, ‘Why have you not built me a house of cedar?’”’
Dok sam hodio sa svim Izraelovim sinovima, jesam li ijednu riječ rekao nekomu od Izraelovih sudaca kojima sam zapovjedio da budu pastiri mojem narodu izraelskom i kazao: 'Zašto mi ne sagradite kuću od cedrovine?'
8 Now therefore tell my servant David this: ‘The LORD of Armies says, “I took you from the sheep pen, from following the sheep, to be prince over my people, over Israel.
Zato sad ovo reci mome sluzi Davidu: Ovako govori Jahve nad vojskama: Ja sam te doveo s pašnjaka, od ovaca i koza, da budeš knez nad mojim izraelskim narodom.
9 I have been with you wherever you went, and have cut off all your enemies from before you. I will make you a great name, like the name of the great ones who are in the earth.
Bio sam s tobom kuda si god išao, iskorijenio sam sve tvoje neprijatelje pred tobom. Ja ću ti pribaviti veliko ime, kao što je velikaško ime na zemlji.
10 I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place and be moved no more. The children of wickedness will not afflict them any more, as at the first,
Odredit ću prebivalište svojem izraelskom narodu, posadit ću ga da živi na svojem mjestu i da ne luta više naokolo, niti da ga zlikovci muče kao prije,
11 and as from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. I will cause you to rest from all your enemies. Moreover the LORD tells you that the LORD will make you a house.
onda kad sam odredio suce nad svojim izraelskim narodom. Ja ću mu pribaviti mir od svih njegovih neprijatelja. Jahve će te učiniti velikim. Jahve će ti podići dom.
12 When your days are fulfilled and you sleep with your fathers, I will set up your offspring after you, who will proceed out of your body, and I will establish his kingdom.
I kad se ispune tvoji dani i ti počineš kod svojih otaca, podići ću tvoga potomka nakon tebe, koji će se roditi od tvoga tijela, i utvrdit ću njegovo kraljevstvo.
13 He will build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.
On će sagraditi dom imenu mojem, a ja ću utvrditi njegovo prijestolje zauvijek.
14 I will be his father, and he will be my son. If he commits iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men and with the stripes of the children of men;
Ja ću njemu biti otac, a on će meni biti sin: ako učini što zlo, kaznit ću ga ljudskom šibom i udarcima kako ih zadaju sinovi ljudski.
15 but my loving kindness will not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before you.
Ali svoje naklonosti neću odvratiti od njega, kao što sam je odvratio od Šaula koga sam uklonio ispred tebe.
16 Your house and your kingdom will be made sure forever before you. Your throne will be established forever.”’”
Tvoja će kuća i tvoje kraljevstvo trajati dovijeka preda mnom, tvoje će prijestolje čvrsto stajati zasvagda.'”
17 Nathan spoke to David all these words, and according to all this vision.
Natan prenese Davidu sve te riječi i cijelo viđenje.
18 Then David the king went in and sat before the LORD; and he said, “Who am I, Lord GOD, and what is my house, that you have brought me this far?
Nato kralj David uđe u šator i stade pred Jahvom i pomoli se: “Tko sam ja, Gospode Jahve, i što je moj dom te si me doveo dovde?
19 This was yet a small thing in your eyes, Lord GOD, but you have spoken also of your servant’s house for a great while to come; and this among men, Lord GOD!
Pa i to je još premalo u tvojim očima, Gospode Jahve, te daješ svoja obećanja kući svoga sluge za daleku budućnost i gledaš na me kao na ugledna čovjeka!
20 What more can David say to you? For you know your servant, Lord GOD.
Ali što bi ti David još mogao kazati, kad ti sam poznaješ svoga slugu, Gospode Jahve!
21 For your word’s sake, and according to your own heart, you have worked all this greatness, to make your servant know it.
Radi svoje riječi i po svome srcu učinio si sve ovo veliko djelo, obznanivši ove veličajnosti.
22 Therefore you are great, LORD God. For there is no one like you, neither is there any God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
Zato si velik, Gospode Jahve; nema takvoga kakav si ti i nema Boga osim tebe, po svemu što smo ušima svojim čuli.
23 What one nation in the earth is like your people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem to himself for a people, and to make himself a name, and to do great things for you, and awesome things for your land, before your people, whom you redeemed to yourself out of Egypt, from the nations and their gods?
Postoji li ijedan narod na zemlji kao tvoj izraelski narod radi kojega je Bog išao da ga izbavi sebi za narod da tako stečeš sebi ime velikim i strašnim čudesima, izgoneći krivobožačka plemena pred svojim narodom koji si otkupio iz Egipta?
24 You established for yourself your people Israel to be your people forever; and you, LORD, became their God.
Tako si učinio svoj izraelski narod svojim narodom zauvijek, a ti si mu, Jahve, postao Bogom.
25 “Now, LORD God, the word that you have spoken concerning your servant, and concerning his house, confirm it forever, and do as you have spoken.
Zato sada, Gospode Jahve, ispuni zauvijek obećanje koje si dao svome sluzi i njegovu domu i učini kako si obrekao.
26 Let your name be magnified forever, saying, ‘The LORD of Armies is God over Israel; and the house of your servant David will be established before you.’
Neka se veliča tvoje ime zauvijek i neka se govori: Jahve nad vojskama jest Bog Izraelov, a dom sluge tvoga Davida neka stoji čvrsto pred tobom.
27 For you, LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, have revealed to your servant, saying, ‘I will build you a house.’ Therefore your servant has found in his heart to pray this prayer to you.
Jer si ti, Jahve nad vojskama, Bože Izraelov, objavio svome sluzi ovo: 'Ja ću ti podići dom.' Zato je tvoj sluga smogao hrabrosti da ti se pomoli ovom molitvom.
28 “Now, O Lord GOD, you are God, and your words are truth, and you have promised this good thing to your servant.
Uistinu, Gospode Jahve, ti si Bog, tvoje su riječi istinite i ti daješ ovo lijepo obećanje svome sluzi.
29 Now therefore, let it please you to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever before you; for you, Lord GOD, have spoken it. Let the house of your servant be blessed forever with your blessing.”
Udostoj se sada blagosloviti dom svoga sluge da ostane dovijeka pred tobom. Jer kad ti, Gospode Jahve, obrekneš i blagosloviš, kuća tvoga sluge bit će blagoslovljena zasvagda.”
