2 Samuelova 7

1 A kad car sjeðaše kod kuæe svoje, i Gospod mu dade mir svuda unaokolo od svijeh neprijatelja njegovijeh,

When the king lived in his house, and Yahweh had given him rest from all his enemies all around,

2 Reèe car Natanu proroku: vidi, ja stojim u kuæi od kedrova drveta, a kovèeg Božji stoji pod zavjesima.

the king said to Nathan the prophet, “See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but God’s ark dwells within curtains.”

3 A Natan reèe caru: šta ti je god u srcu, idi, èini, jer je Gospod s tobom.

Nathan said to the king, “Go, do all that is in your heart, for Yahweh is with you.”

4 Ali onu noæ doðe rijeè Gospodnja k Natanu govoreæi:

That same night, Yahweh’s word came to Nathan, saying,

5 Idi i reci sluzi mojemu Davidu: ovako veli Gospod: ti li æeš mi naèiniti kuæu da u njoj nastavam?

“Go and tell my servant David, ‘Yahweh says, “Should you build me a house for me to dwell in?

6 Kad nijesam nastavao u kuæi otkad izvedoh sinove Izrailjeve iz Misira do danas, nego sam hodio u šatoru i u naslonu,

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.

7 Kuda sam god hodio sa svijem sinovima Izrailjevim, jesam li jednu rijeè rekao kome od sudija Izrailjevijeh, kojima zapovijedah da pasu narod moj Izrailja, i kazao: zašto mi ne naèinite kuæe od kedra?

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?’”’

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

Now therefore tell my servant David this: ‘Yahweh of Armies says, “I took you from the sheep pen, from following the sheep, to be prince over my people, over Israel.

9 I bjeh s tobom kuda si god hodio, i istrijebih sve neprijatelje tvoje ispred tebe, i stekoh ti ime veliko, kao što je ime velikijeh ljudi koji su na zemlji.

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.

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

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,

11 I od onoga dana kad postavih sudije nad narodom svojim Izrailjem; i smiriæu te od svijeh neprijatelja tvojih. Jošte ti javlja Gospod da æe ti Gospod naèiniti kuæu.

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 Yahweh tells you that Yahweh will make you a house.

12 Kad se navrše dani tvoji, i poèineš kod otaca svojih, podignuæu sjeme tvoje nakon tebe, koje æe izaæi iz utrobe tvoje, i utvrdiæu carstvo njegovo.

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.

13 On æe sazidati dom imenu mojemu, i utvrdiæu prijesto carstva njegova dovijeka.

He will build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.

14 Ja æu mu biti otac, i on æe mi biti sin; ako uèini što zlo, karaæu ga prutom ljudskim i udarcima sinova èovjeèijih.

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;

15 Ali milost moja neæe se ukloniti od njega kao što sam je uklonio od Saula, kojega uklonih ispred tebe.

but my loving kindness will not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before you.

16 Nego æe tvrd biti dom tvoj i carstvo tvoje dovijeka pred tobom, i prijesto æe tvoj stajati dovijeka.

Your house and your kingdom will be made sure forever before you. Your throne will be established forever.”’”

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

Nathan spoke to David all these words, and according to all this vision.

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

Then David the king went in and sat before Yahweh; and he said, “Who am I, Lord Yahweh, and what is my house, that you have brought me this far?

19 Pa i to ti se još èini malo, Gospode, Gospode, nego si govorio i za dom sluge svojega na dugo vremena. Je li to zakon èovjeèji, Gospode, Gospode!

This was yet a small thing in your eyes, Lord Yahweh, but you have spoken also of your servant’s house for a great while to come; and this among men, Lord Yahweh!

20 Ali šta æe jošte David da ti govori? ta ti znaš slugu svojega, Gospode, Gospode!

What more can David say to you? For you know your servant, Lord Yahweh.

21 Radi rijeèi svoje i po srcu svojemu uèinio si sve ove velike stvari obznanjujuæi ih sluzi svojemu.

For your word’s sake, and according to your own heart, you have worked all this greatness, to make your servant know it.

22 Zato si velik, Gospode Bože, nema takoga kakav si ti; i nema Boga osim tebe, po svemu što èusmo svojim ušima.

Therefore you are great, Yahweh 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.

23 Jer koji je narod na zemlji kao tvoj narod Izrailj? kojega je radi Bog išao da ga iskupi da mu bude narod i da steèe sebi ime i da vam uèini velika i strašna djela u zemlji tvojoj, pred narodom tvojim, koji si iskupio sebi iz Misira, od naroda i bogova njihovijeh.

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?

24 Jer si utvrdio sebi narod svoj Izrailja da ti bude narod dovijeka; a ti si im, Gospode, Bog.

You established for yourself your people Israel to be your people forever; and you, Yahweh, became their God.

25 I tako, Gospode Bože, rijeè koju si obrekao sluzi svojemu i domu njegovu, potvrdi zasvagda, i uèini kako si rekao.

“Now, Yahweh God, the word that you have spoken concerning your servant, and concerning his house, confirm it forever, and do as you have spoken.

26 Neka se velièa ime tvoje dovijeka, da se govori: Gospod je nad vojskama Bog nad Izrailjem; i dom sluge tvojega Davida neka stoji tvrdo pred tobom.

Let your name be magnified forever, saying, ‘Yahweh of Armies is God over Israel; and the house of your servant David will be established before you.’

27 Jer si ti, Gospode nad vojskama, Bože Izrailjev, javio sluzi svojemu govoreæi: dom æu sazidati tebi. Zato sluga tvoj naðe u srcu svojem da ti se pomoli ovom molitvom.

For you, Yahweh 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.

28 Tako, Gospode, Gospode, ti si Bog, i rijeèi su tvoje istina; ti si ovo dobro obrekao sluzi svojemu.

“Now, O Lord Yahweh, you are God, and your words are truth, and you have promised this good thing to your servant.

29 Budi dakle voljan i blagoslovi dom sluge svojega da bude dovijeka pred tobom; jer si ti, Gospode, rekao, i tvojim æe blagoslovom biti blagosloven dom sluge tvojega dovijeka.

Now therefore, let it please you to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever before you; for you, Lord Yahweh, have spoken it. Let the house of your servant be blessed forever with your blessing.”
