1 Dnevnika 17

1 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.

Now when David was living in his house, he said to Nathan the prophet, See, I am living in a house of cedar-wood, but the ark of the Lord's agreement is under the curtains of a tent.

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

And Nathan said to David, Do whatever is in your heart, for God is with you.

3 Ali onu noæ doðe rijeè Božija Natanu govoreæi:

But that same night, the word of God came to Nathan, saying,

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

Go and say to David my servant, The Lord says, You are not to make me a house for my living-place:

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

For from the day when I took Israel up, till this day, I have had no house, but have gone from tent to tent, and from living-place to living-place.

6 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?

In all the places where I have gone with all Israel, did I ever say to any of the judges of Israel, whom I made the keepers of my people, Why have you not made for me a house of cedar?

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

So now, say to my servant David, The Lord of armies says, I took you from the fields, from keeping sheep, so that you might be a ruler over my people Israel;

8 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.

And I have been with you wherever you went, cutting off before you all those who were against you; and I will make your name like the name of the greatest ones of the earth.

9 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,

And I will make a resting-place for my people Israel, planting them there, so that they may be in the place which is theirs and never again be moved; and never again will they be made waste by evil men, as they were at first,

10 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.

From the time when I put judges over my people Israel; and I will overcome all those who are against you; and I will make you great and the head of a line of kings.

11 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.

And when the time comes for you to go to your fathers, I will put in your place your seed after you, one of your sons, and I will make his kingdom strong.

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

He will be the builder of my house, and I will make the seat of his authority certain for ever.

13 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.

I will be to him a father and he will be to me a son; and I will not take my mercy away from him as I took it from him who was before you;

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

But I will make his place in my house and in my kingdom certain for ever; and the seat of his authority will never be overturned.

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

So Nathan gave David an account of all these words and this vision.

16 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?

Then David the king went in and took his seat before the Lord, and said, Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my family, that you have been my guide till now?

17 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.

And this was only a small thing to you, O God; but your words have even been about the far-off future of your servant's family, looking on me as on one of high position, O Lord God.

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

What more may David say to you? for you have knowledge of your servant.

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

O Lord, because of your servant, and from your heart, you have done all these great things and let them be seen.

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

O Lord, there is no one like you, and no other God but you, as is clear from everything which has come to our ears.

21 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.

And what other nation in the earth, like your people Israel, did a god go out to take for himself, to be his people, making his name great and to be feared, driving out the nations from before your people whom you made free and took out of Egypt?

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

For your people Israel you made yours for ever; and you, Lord, became their God.

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

And now, Lord, let your words about your servant and about his family be made certain for ever, and do as you have said.

24 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.

So let your words be made certain and your name be made great, when men say, The Lord of armies is the God of Israel; and when the family of David your servant is made strong before you.

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

For you, O my God, have let your servant see that you will make him head of a line of kings; and so it has come into your servant's heart to make his prayer to you.

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

And now, O Lord, you are God, and you have said you will give this good thing to your servant:

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

And now you have been pleased to give your blessing to the family of your servant, so that it may go on for ever before you; you, O Lord, have given your blessing, and a blessing will be on it for ever.
