2 Књига Самуилова 12
1 И посла Господ Натана к Давиду; и он дошав к њему рече му: У једном граду беху два човека, један богат а други сиромах.
And the Lord sent Nathan to David: and when he was come to him, he said to him: There were two men in one city, the one rich, and the other poor.
2 Богати имаше оваца и говеда врло много;
The rich man had exceeding many sheep and oxen.
3 А сиромах немаше ништа до једну малу овчицу, коју беше купио, и храњаше је, те одрасте уза њ и уз децу његову, и јеђаше од његовог залогаја, и из његове чаше пијаше, и на крилу му спаваше, и беше му као кћи.
But the poor man had nothing at all but one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished up, and which had grown up in his house together with his children, eating of his bread, and drinking of his cup, and sleeping in his bosom: and it was unto him as a daughter.
4 А дође путник к богатом човеку, а њему би жао узети из својих оваца или говеда да зготови путнику који дође к њему; него узе овцу оног сиромаха, и зготови је човеку, који дође к њему.
And when a certain stranger was come to the rich man, he spared to take of his own sheep and oxen, to make a feast for that stranger, who was come to him, but took the poor man’s ewe, and dressed it for the man that was come to him.
5 Тада се Давид врло разгневи на оног човека, и рече Натану: Тако жив био Господ, заслужио је смрт онај који је то учинио.
And David’s anger being exceedingly kindled against that man, he said to Nathan: As the Lord liveth, the man that hath done this is a child of death.
6 И овцу нека плати учетворо, што је то учинио и није му жао било.
He shall restore the ewe fourfold, because he did this thing, and had no pity.
7 Тада рече Натан Давиду: Ти си тај. Овако вели Господ Бог Израиљев: Ја сам те помазао за цара над Израиљем, и ја сам те избавио из руку Саулових.
And Nathan said to David: Thou art the man. Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee from the hand of Saul,
8 И дао сам ти дом господара твог, и жене господара твог на крило твоје, дао сам ти дом Израиљев и Јудин; и ако је мало додао бих ти то и то.
And gave thee thy master’s house and thy master’s wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and Juda: and if these things be little, I shall add far greater things unto thee.
9 Зашто си презрео реч Господњу чинећи шта Њему није по вољи? Урију Хетејина убио си мачем и узео си жену његову себи за жену, а њега си убио мачем синова Амонових.
Why therefore hast thou despised the word of the Lord, to do evil in my sight? Thou hast killed Urias the Hethite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.
10 Зато неће се одмаћи мач од дома твог довека, што си ме презрео и узео жену Урије Хетејина да ти буде жена.
Therefore the sword shall never depart from thy house, because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Urias the Hethite to be thy wife.
11 Овако вели Господ: Ево, ја ћу подигнути на те зло из дома твог, и узећу жене твоје на твоје очи, и даћу их ближњему твом, те ће спавати са женама твојим на видику свакоме.
Thus saith the Lord: Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thy own house, and I will take thy wives before thy eyes I and give them to thy neighhour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun.
12 Јер ти си учинио тајно, али ћу ја ово учинити пред свим Израиљем и сваком на видику.
For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing in the sight of all Israel, and in the sight of the sun.
13 Тада рече Давид Натану: Сагреших Господу. А Натан рече Давиду: и Господ је пронео грех твој; нећеш умрети.
And David said to Nathan: I have sinned against the Lord. And Nathan said to David: The Lord also hath taken away thy sin: thou shalt not die.
14 Али што си тим делом дао прилику непријатељима Господњим да хуле, зато ће ти умрети син који ти се родио.
Nevertheless, because thou hast given occasion to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme, for this thing, the child that is born to thee, shall surely die.
15 Потом Натан отиде својој кући. А Господ удари дете које роди жена Уријина Давиду, те се разболе на смрт.
And Nathan returned to his house. The Lord also struck the child which the wife of Urias had borne to David, and his life was despaired of.
16 И Давид се мољаше Богу за дете, и пошћаше се Давид, и дошавши лежаше преко ноћи на земљи.
And David besought the Lord for the child: and David kept a fast, and going in by himself lay upon the ground.
17 И старешине дома његовог усташе око њега да га подигну са земље, али он не хте, нити једе шта с њима.
And the ancients of his house came, to make him rise from the ground: but he would not, neither did he eat meat with them.
18 А кад би седми дан, умре дете; и не смеху слуге Давидове јавити му да је дете умрло, јер говораху: Ево, док дете беше живо, говорасмо му, па нас не хте послушати; а како ћемо му казати: Умрло је дете? Хоће га уцвелити.
And it came to pass on the seventh day that the child died: and the servants of David feared to tell him, that the child was dead. For they said: Behold when the child was yet alive, we spoke to him, and he would not hearken to our voice: how much more will he afflict himself if we tell him that the child is dead?
19 А Давид видећи где слуге његове шапћу међу собом, досети се да је умрло дете; и рече Давид слугама својим: Је ли умрло дете? А они рекоше: Умрло је.
But when David saw his servants whispering, he understood that the child was dead: and he said to his servants: Is the child dead? They answered him: He is dead.
20 Тада Давид уста са земље, и уми се, и намаза се и преобуче се; и отиде у дом Господњи, и поклони се. Потом опет дође кући својој, и заиска да му донесу да једе; и једе.
Then David arose from the ground, and washed and anointed himself: and when he had changed his apparel, he went into the house of the Lord: and worshipped, and then he came into his own house, and he called for bread, and ate.
21 А слуге његове рекоше му: Шта то радиш? Док беше дете живо, постио си и плакао; а кад умре дете, устао си и једеш.
And his servants said to him: What thing is this that thou hast done? thou didst fast and weep for the child, while it was alive, but when the child was dead, thou didst rise up, and eat bread.
22 А он рече: Док дете беше живо, постио сам и плакао, јер говорах: ко зна, може се смиловати Господ на ме да дете остане живо.
And he said: While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept for him: for I said: Who knoweth whether the Lord may not give him to me, and the child may live?
23 А сад умрло је; што бих постио? Могу ли га повратити? Ја ћу отићи к њему, али он неће се вратити к мени.
But now that he is dead, why should I fast? Shall I be able to bring him back any more? I shall go to him rather: but he shall not return to me.
24 Потом Давид утеши Витсавеју жену своју, и отиде к њој, и леже с њом. И она роди сина, коме наде име Соломун. И мио беше Господу.
And David comforted Bethsabee his wife, and went in unto her, and slept with her: I and she bore a son, and he called his name Solomon, and the Lord loved him.
25 И посла Натана пророка, те му наде име Једидија, ради Господа.
And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet, and called his name, Amiable to the Lord, because the Lord loved him.
26 А Јоав бијући Раву синова Амонових, узе царски град.
And Joab fought against Rabbath of the children of Ammon, and laid close siege to the royal city.
27 И посла посланике к Давиду, и рече: Бих Раву, и узех град на води.
And Joab sent messengers to David, saying: I have fought against Rabbath, and the city of waters is about to be taken.
28 Него сада скупи остали народ, и стани у логор према граду, и узми га, да га не бих ја узео и моје се име спомињало на њему.
Now therefore gather thou the rest of the people together, and besiege the city and take it: lest when the city shall be wasted by me, the victory be ascribed to my name.
29 И Давид скупивши сав народ отиде на Раву, и удари на њу, и узе је.
Then David gathered all the people together, and went out against Rabbath: and after fighting, he took it.
30 И узе цару њиховом с главе круну, у којој беше таланат злата, с драгим камењем, и метнуше је на главу Давиду, и однесе из града плен врло велик.
And he took the crown of their king from his head, the weight of which was a talent of gold, set with most precious stones, and it was put upon David’s head, and the spoils of the city which were very great he carried away.
31 А народ који беше у њему изведе и метну их под пиле и под бране гвоздене и под секире гвоздене, и сагна их у пећи где се опеке пеку. И тако учини свим градовима синова Амонових. Потом се врати Давид са свим народом у Јерусалим.
And bringing forth the people thereof he sawed them, and drove over them chariots armed with iron: and divided them with knives, and made them pass through brickkilns: so did he to all the cities of the children of Ammon: and David returned, with all the army to Jerusalem.
