2 Samuel 12
1 And Jehovah sendeth Nathan unto David, and he cometh unto him, and saith to him: 'Two men have been in one city; One rich and one poor;
Gospod je k Davidu poslal Natána. Ta je prišel k njemu in mu rekel: »Bila sta dva moža v enem mestu; eden bogat, drugi pa reven.
2 The rich hath flocks and herds very many;
Bogat človek je imel silno mnogo tropov in čred,
3 And the poor one hath nothing, Except one little ewe-lamb, Which he hath bought, and keepeth alive, And it groweth up with him, And with his sons together; Of his morsel it eateth, And from his cup it drinketh, And in his bosom it lieth, And it is to him as a daughter;
toda reven človek ni imel ničesar, razen ene majhne ovčje jagnjice, ki jo je kupil in jo preživljal. Ta je zrasla skupaj z njim in z njegovimi otroki; jedla je od njegove lastne hrane, pila iz njegove lastne čaše, ležala v njegovem naročju in mu je bila kakor hči.
4 And there cometh a traveller to the rich man, And he spareth to take Of his own flock, and of his own herd, To prepare for the traveller Who hath come to him, And he taketh the ewe-lamb of the poor man, And prepareth it for the man Who hath come unto him.'
K bogatašu pa je prišel popotnik in žal mu je bilo vzeti od svojega lastnega tropa in od svoje lastne črede, da pripravi za popotnika, ki je prišel k njemu, temveč je vzel reveževo jagnje in to pripravil za človeka, ki je prišel k njemu.«
5 And the anger of David burneth against the man exceedingly, and he saith unto Nathan, 'Jehovah liveth, surely a son of death [is] the man who is doing this,
Davidova jeza je bila silno vžgana zoper tega moža in Natánu je rekel: » Kakor Gospod živi, mož, ki je storil to stvar, bo zagotovo umrl
6 and the ewe-lamb he doth repay fourfold, because that he hath done this thing, and because that he had no pity.'
in četverno bo povrnil jagnje, ker je storil to stvar in ker ni imel usmiljenja.«
7 And Nathan saith unto David, 'Thou [art] the man! Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, I anointed thee for king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul;
Natán je rekel Davidu: »Ti si ta človek. Tako govori Gospod, Izraelov Bog: ›Mazilil sem te [za] kralja nad Izraelom in te osvobodil iz Savlove roke.
8 and I give to thee the house of thy lord, and the wives of thy lord, into thy bosom, and I give to thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if little, then I add to thee such and such [things].
Dal sem ti hišo tvojega gospodarja in v tvoje naročje žene tvojega gospodarja in dal sem ti Izraelovo in Judovo hišo. Če bi bilo to premalo, bi ti dodal še več takšnih in takšnih stvari.
9 'Wherefore hast thou despised the word of Jehovah, to do the evil thing in His eyes? Uriah the Hittite thou hast smitten by the sword, and his wife thou hast taken to thee for a wife, and him thou hast slain by the sword of the Bene-Ammon.
Zakaj si preziral Gospodovo zapoved, da si storil zlo v njegovem pogledu? Hetejca Urijája si ubil z mečem in njegovo ženo vzel, da postane tvoja žena, njega pa si umoril z mečem Amónovih otrok.
10 'And now, the sword doth not turn aside from thy house unto the age, because thou hast despised Me, and dost take the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be to thee for a wife;
Zdaj torej meč ne bo nikoli odšel od tvoje hiše, ker si me preziral in si vzel ženo Hetejca Urijája, da bi bila tvoja žena.‹
11 thus said Jehovah, Lo, I am raising up against thee evil, out of thy house, and have taken thy wives before thine eyes, and given to thy neighbour, and he hath lain with thy wives before the eyes of this sun;
Tako govori Gospod: ›Glej, zoper tebe bom vzdignil zlo iz tvoje lastne hiše in pred tvojimi očmi bom vzel tvoje žene in jih dal tvojemu bližnjemu in ta bo ležal s tvojimi ženami v pogledu tega sonca.
12 for thou hast done [it] in secret, and I do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.'
Kajti ti si to delal naskrivaj, toda jaz bom to stvar storil pred vsem Izraelom in pred soncem.‹«
13 And David saith unto Nathan, 'I have sinned against Jehovah.' And Nathan saith unto David, 'Also — Jehovah hath caused thy sin to pass away; thou dost not die;
David je rekel Natánu: »Grešil sem zoper Gospoda.« Natán je rekel Davidu: » Gospod je tudi odstranil tvoj greh; ne boš umrl.
14 only, because thou hast caused the enemies of Jehovah greatly to despise by this thing, also the son who is born to thee doth surely die.'
Vendar ker si s tem dejanjem dal Gospodovim sovražnikom veliko priložnost, da izrekajo bogokletje, bo tudi otrok, ki ti je rojen, zagotovo umrl.«
15 And Nathan goeth unto his house, and Jehovah smiteth the lad, whom the wife of Uriah hath born to David, and it is incurable;
In Natán je odšel od njegove hiše. Gospod pa je udaril otroka, ki ga je Urijájeva žena rodila Davidu in ta je bil zelo bolan.
16 and David seeketh God for the youth, and David keepeth a fast, and hath gone in and lodged, and lain on the earth.
David je zato rotil Boga za otroka in David se je postil in vstopil ter vso noč ležal na zemlji.
17 And the elders of his house rise against him, to raise him up from the earth, and he hath not been willing, nor hath he eaten with them bread;
Starešine njegove hiše so vstali in odšli k njemu, da ga vzdignejo z zemlje, toda ni hotel niti ni z njimi jedel kruha.
18 and it cometh to pass on the seventh day, that the lad dieth, and the servants of David fear to declare to him that the lad is dead, for they said, 'Lo, in the lad being alive we spake unto him, and he did not hearken to our voice; and how do we say unto him, The lad is dead? — then he hath done evil.'
Pripetilo se je na sedmi dan, da je otrok umrl. Davidovi služabniki pa so se mu bali povedati, da je bil otrok mrtev, kajti rekli so: »Glej, medtem ko je bil otrok še živ, smo mu govorili, pa ni hotel poslušati našega glasu. Kako bo torej žalostil samega sebe, če mu povemo, da je otrok mrtev?«
19 And David seeth that his servants are whispering, and David understandeth that the lad is dead, and David saith unto his servants, 'Is the lad dead?' and they say, 'Dead.'
Toda ko je David videl, da so njegovi služabniki šepetali, je David zaznal, da je bil otrok mrtev. Zato je David rekel svojim služabnikom: »Je otrok mrtev?« Rekli so: »Mrtev je.«
20 And David riseth from the earth, and doth bathe and anoint [himself], and changeth his raiment, and cometh in to the house of Jehovah, and boweth himself, and cometh unto his house, and asketh and they place for him bread, and he eateth.
Potem se je David vzdignil z zemlje, se umil, mazilil, zamenjal svojo obleko, prišel v Gospodovo hišo in oboževal. Potem je prišel v svojo lastno hišo; in ko je zahteval, so predenj postavili kruh in je jedel.
21 And his servants say unto him, 'What [is] this thing thou hast done? because of the living lad thou hast fasted and dost weep, and when the lad is dead thou hast risen and dost eat bread.'
Potem so mu njegovi služabniki rekli: »Kakšna stvar je ta, ki si jo storil? Postil si se in jokal zaradi otroka, medtem ko je bil živ, toda ko je bil otrok mrtev, si vstal in jedel kruh.«
22 And he saith, 'While the lad is alive I have fasted, and weep, for I said, Who knoweth? — Jehovah doth pity me, and the lad hath lived;
Rekel je: »Medtem ko je bil otrok še živ, sem se postil in jokal, kajti rekel sem: ›Kdo lahko pove, ali mi bo Bog milostljiv, da bo otrok lahko živel?‹
23 and now, he hath died, why [is] this — I fast? am I able to bring him back again? I am going unto him, and he doth not turn back unto me.'
Toda sedaj je mrtev, zakaj bi se torej postil? Ali ga lahko ponovno privedem nazaj? Jaz bom šel k njemu, toda on se ne bo vrnil k meni.«
24 And David comforteth Bath-Sheba his wife, and goeth in unto her, and lieth with her, and she beareth a son, and he calleth his name Solomon; and Jehovah hath loved him,
David je potolažil svojo ženo Batšébo in šel noter k njej in ležal z njo in rodila je sina in njegovo ime je imenoval Salomon. In Gospod ga je ljubil.
25 and sendeth by the hand of Nathan the prophet, and calleth his name Jedidiah, because of Jehovah.
In poslal je po roki preroka Natána in ta je njegovo ime imenoval Jedidjá, zaradi Gospoda.
26 And Joab fighteth against Rabbah of the Bene-Ammon, and captureth the royal city,
Joáb se je boril zoper Rabo Amónovih sinov in zavzel kraljevo mesto.
27 and Joab sendeth messengers unto David, and saith, 'I have fought against Rabbah — also I have captured the city of waters;
Joáb je poslal poslance k Davidu in rekel: »Boril sem se zoper Rabo in zavzel mesto vodá.
28 and now, gather the rest of the people, and encamp against the city, and capture it, lest I capture the city, and my name hath been called upon it.'
Zdaj torej zberi skupaj preostanek ljudstva in se utabôri zoper mesto in ga zavzemi, da ne bi jaz zavzel mesta in bi se ta imenoval po mojem imenu.«
29 And David gathereth all the people, and goeth to Rabbah, and fighteth against it, and captureth it;
In David je vse ljudstvo zbral skupaj in odšel v Rabo in se bojeval zoper njo ter jo zavzel.
30 and he taketh the crown of their king from off his head, and its weight [is] a talent of gold, and precious stones, and it is on the head of David; and the spoil of the city he hath brought out, very much;
Vzel je krono njihovega kralja iz njegove glave, katere teža je bila talent zlata z dragocenimi kamni in ta je bila postavljena na Davidovo glavo. In iz mesta je prinesel plena v velikem obilju.
31 and the people who [are] in it he hath brought out, and setteth to the saw, and to cutting instruments of iron, and to axes of iron, and hath caused them to pass over into the brick-kiln; and so he doth to all the cities of the Bene-Ammon; and David turneth back, and all the people, to Jerusalem.
Privedel je ljudstvo, ki je bilo tam in jih postavil pod žage, pod brane iz železa, pod sekire iz železa in jih primoral, da gredo skozi opekarsko peč. Tako je storil vsem mestom Amónovih otrok. Tako se je David in vse ljudstvo vrnilo v Jeruzalem.
