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.
And it came to pass, when David had taken up his abode in his house, that David said unto Nathan the prophet, Lo! I, am dwelling in a house of cedars, but, the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, is under curtains.
2 A Natan reèe Davidu: što ti je god u srcu, èini, jer je Bog s tobom.
Then said Nathan unto David, All that is in thy heart, do, —for, God, is with thee.
3 Ali onu noæ doðe rijeè Božija Natanu govoreæi:
But so it was that, in that night, the word of God came unto Nathan, saying:
4 Idi i reci Davidu sluzi mojemu: ovako veli Gospod: ti mi neæeš sazidati kuæe da u njoj nastavam.
Go and say unto David my servant, Thus, saith Yahweh, —Thou, shalt not build me a house, to dwell in;
5 Kad nijesam nastavao u kuæi otkad izvedoh Izrailja do danas, nego sam išao od šatora do šatora i od naslona do naslona,
seeing that I have not dwelt in a house, since the day that I brought up Israel, until this day, —but have been from tent to tent, and without a habitation.
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?
Wheresoever I have wandered with all Israel, spake I ever, a word, with one of the judges of Israel, whom I charged to shepherd my people, saying, —Wherefore have ye not built me a house of cedars?
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.
Now, therefore, thus, shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, I myself, took thee from the pasture, from after the flock, —to become leader 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 was with thee whithersoever thou didst go, and have cut off all thine enemies, from before thee, —and will make thee a name, like the name of the great ones, who are in 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 will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall inhabit their place, and be unsettled no more, —neither shall the sons of perversity again wear them out, as at the 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.
even from the days when I put judges in charge over my people Israel, and have subdued all thine enemies, —that I might make thee great, yea, a house, will Yahweh build for thee.
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 it shall be that, when thy days are fulfilled, to sleep with thy fathers, then will I raise up thy seed after thee, who shall be of thy sons, —and I will establish his kingdom.
12 On æe mi sazidati dom, i utvrdiæu prijesto njegov dovijeka.
He, shall build me a house, —and I will establish his throne unto times age-abiding.
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 become his father, and, he, shall become my son, —and, my lovingkindness, will I not cause to depart from him, —as I caused it to depart from him who was before thee;
14 Nego æu ga utvrditi u domu svom i u carstvu svom dovijeka, i prijesto æe njegov stajati dovijeka.
but I will cause him to remain over my house and over my kingdom, unto times age-abiding, —and, his throne, shall be established, unto times age-abiding.
15 Po svijem ovijem rijeèima i po svoj ovoj utvari kaza Natan Davidu.
According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so, spake Nathan unto David.
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 entered King David, and tarried before Yahweh, —and said, Who am, I, O Yahweh God, and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto;
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 hast made this seem little in thine eyes, O God, in that thou hast spoken concerning the house of thy servant, for a great while to come? Thus wilt thou provide for me, according to the rank of manhood, and hast exalted me, O Yahweh God!
18 Šta æe još David da ti govori o èasti sluge tvojega, kad ti znaš slugu svojega?
What, yet further, can David say unto thee, [thus] to honour thy servant, —seeing that, thou thyself, knowest, thine own servant?
19 Gospode, sluge svojega radi i po srcu svojemu èiniš svu ovu veliku stvar, obznanjujuæi sve ove velike stvari.
O Yahweh, for the sake of thy servant, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all this great thing, —making known all the great things.
20 Gospode, nema takoga kakav si ti, i nema Boga osim tebe, po svemu što èusmo svojim ušima.
O Yahweh, there is none like unto thee, yea there is no God besides thee, according to all that we have heard with 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.
Who then is like thy people Israel, a nation alone in the earth, —whom God went to redeem, to be his own people, to make for thyself a name for great and fearful things, to drive out, nations, from before thy people, whom thou didst redeem out of Egypt;
22 Jer si uèinio narod svoj Izrailja svojim narodom dovijeka; a ti si im, Gospode, Bog.
and didst appoint thy people Israel for thyself as a people, unto times age-abiding, —thou thyself, also, O Yahweh, becoming their God?
23 I tako, Gospode, rijeè koju si obrekao sluzi svojemu i domu njegovu neka bude tvrda dovijeka, i uèini kako si rekao.
Now, therefore, O Yahweh, the word which thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, be it steadfast unto times age-abiding, —and do as thou hast spoken:
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.
yea let it be steadfast, and so let thy Name be magnified unto times age-abiding, saying, Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, is a God to Israel! seeing that, the house of David thy servant, is established before thee.
25 Jer si ti, Bože moj, javio sluzi svojemu da æeš mu sazidati dom, zato se sluga tvoj usudi da ti se pomoli.
For, thou, O my God, hast unveiled the ear of thy servant, that thou wilt build for him a house, —for this cause, hath thy servant found [it in his heart] to pray before thee.
26 Tako Gospode, ti si Bog, i obrekao si sluzi svojemu to dobro.
Now, therefore, O Yahweh, thou, art God, —therefore hast thou spoken concerning thy servant this goodness.
27 Budi dakle voljan i blagoslovi dom sluge svojega da bude dovijeka pred tobom; jer kad ti, Gospode, blagosloviš, biæe blagosloven dovijeka.
Now, therefore, let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may be unto times age-abiding before thee, —for, thou O Yahweh, hast blessed, and it is to be blessed unto times age-abiding.
