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.
So the LORD sent Nathan to David. And he came to him, and said to him, "Tell me how you judge this case. There were two men in a certain city, the one rich and the other poor.
2 Богати имаше оваца и говеда врло много;
The rich man had very many flocks and herds,
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, except one little ewe lamb, which he had acquired. And he raised it and it grew up alongside him and his children. It used to eat of his morsel and drink from his cup and sleep in his arms, and it was like a daughter to him.
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.
Now a traveler came to the rich man, but he was unwilling to take from his own flock or his own herd to prepare for the traveler who had come to him, but took the poor man's lamb and prepared it for the man who had 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.
Then David became very angry with that man, and he said to Nathan, "As the LORD lives, the man who has done this deserves death.
6 И овцу нека плати учетворо, што је то учинио и није му жао било.
He must restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he 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.
Then Nathan said to David, "You are the man. This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: 'I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you out of 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.
I gave you your master's house, and your master's wives into your care, and gave you the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that would have been too little, I would have added to you many more such things.
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 have you despised the LORD, to do that which is evil in his sight? You have struck Uriah the Hethite with the sword, and have taken his wife to be your wife, and have slain him with the sword of the people 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.
Now therefore the sword will never depart from your house, because you have despised me, and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hethite to be your 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.
"This is what the LORD says: 'Look, I will raise up evil against you out of your own house; and I will take your wives before your eyes, and give them to your neighbor, and he will lie with your 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 you did it secretly, but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.'"
13 Тада рече Давид Натану: Сагреших Господу. А Натан рече Давиду: и Господ је пронео грех твој; нећеш умрети.
David said to Nathan, "I have sinned against the LORD." Nathan said to David, "The LORD also has put away your sin. You will not die.
14 Али што си тим делом дао прилику непријатељима Господњим да хуле, зато ће ти умрети син који ти се родио.
However, because by this deed you have shown utter contempt for the LORD, the child also who is born to you shall surely die."
15 Потом Натан отиде својој кући. А Господ удари дете које роди жена Уријина Давиду, те се разболе на смрт.
Then Nathan went to his home. And God struck the child that Uriah's wife bore to David, and it was very sick.
16 И Давид се мољаше Богу за дете, и пошћаше се Давид, и дошавши лежаше преко ноћи на земљи.
Then David sought from God on behalf of the child. And David fasted, and went in and lay all night on 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 elders of his house approached him to lift him up from the ground, but he was unwilling, and he would not eat food 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.
It happened on the seventh day, that the child died. The servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead; for they said, "Look, while the child was yet alive, we spoke to him, and he did not listen to our voice. How will he then harm 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 noticed that his servants were whispering together, David perceived that the child was dead; and David said to his servants, "Is the child dead?" They said, "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 changed his clothing; and he came into the house of the LORD, and worshiped. Then he went to his own house, and he asked for bread to eat. And they set bread before him, and he 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.
Then his servants said to him, "What is this that you have done? You fasted and wept and kept vigil for the child while he was alive; but when the child was dead, you rose up and ate 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.
He said, "While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept; for I said, 'Who knows whether the LORD will not be gracious to me, that 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 he is dead, why should I fast? Can I bring him back? I shall go to him, but he will 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.
David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in to her, and lay with her. She bore a son, and he called his name Solomon. 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 he named him Jedidiah, for the LORD's sake.
26 А Јоав бијући Раву синова Амонових, узе царски град.
Now Joab fought against Rabbah of the people of Ammon, and took the royal city.
27 И посла посланике к Давиду, и рече: Бих Раву, и узех град на води.
Joab sent messengers to David, and said, "I have fought against Rabbah, and have also taken the water supply of the city.
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 the rest of the people together, and besiege the city and capture it yourself, or I will capture the city, and it will be named after me."
29 И Давид скупивши сав народ отиде на Раву, и удари на њу, и узе је.
David gathered all the people together, and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and 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.
He took the crown of their king from off his head; and its weight was a talent of gold, and in it were precious stones; and it was set on David's head. He brought out the spoil of the city, a very great amount.
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.
He brought out the people who were in it, and put them to work with saws, and iron picks, and iron axes, and to labor at the brick kiln. And he did the same to all the cities of the people of Ammon. David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
