1 Kroniška 17

1 Pripetilo se je torej, medtem ko je David sedel v svoji hiši, da je David rekel preroku Natánu: »Glej, jaz prebivam v cedrovi hiši, toda skrinja Gospodove zaveze ostaja pod zavesami.«

After David had settled into his palace, he said to Nathan the prophet, “Here I am, living in a house of cedar, while the ark of the covenant of the LORD is under a tent.”

2 Potem je Natán rekel Davidu: »Stôri vse, kar je v tvojem srcu, kajti Bog je s teboj.«

And Nathan replied to David, “Do all that is in your heart, for God is with you.”

3 Iste noči se je pripetilo, da je Božja beseda prišla k Natánu, rekoč:

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

4 »Pojdi in povej mojemu služabniku Davidu: ›Tako govori Gospod: ›Ti mi ne boš gradil hiše, da prebivam v njej,

“Go and tell My servant David that this is what the LORD says: You are not the one to build Me a house in which to dwell.

5 kajti nisem prebival v hiši od dne, ko sem Izraela privedel gor, do današnjega dne, temveč sem šel od šotora k šotoru in od enega šotorskega svetišča k drugemu.

For I have not dwelt in a house from the day I brought Israel up out of Egypt until this day, but I have moved from tent to tent and dwelling to dwelling.

6 Kjerkoli sem hodil z vsem Izraelom, sem mar spregovoril besedo kateremukoli izmed Izraelovih sodnikov, ki sem jim zapovedal, da pasejo moje ljudstvo, rekoč: ›Zakaj mi niste zgradili cedrove hiše?‹

In all My journeys with all the Israelites, have I ever asked any of the leaders I appointed to shepherd My people, ‘Why haven’t you built Me a house of cedar?’

7 Zdaj boš torej tako povedal mojemu služabniku Davidu: ›Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Vzel sem te iz staje za ovce, celó od sledenja ovcam, da bi bil vladar nad mojim ljudstvom Izraelom,

Now then, you are to tell My servant David that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: I took you from the pasture, from following the flock, to be the ruler over My people Israel.

8 in s teboj sem bil kjerkoli si hodil in pred teboj sem iztrebil vse tvoje sovražnike in ti naredil ime, podobno imenu velikih mož, ki so na zemlji.

I have been with you wherever you have gone, and I have cut off all your enemies from before you. Now I will make for you a name like the greatest in the land.

9 Prav tako bom določil kraj za svoje ljudstvo Izrael in jih zasadil in bodo prebivali na svojem kraju in ne bodo več seljeni niti jih ne bodo več pustošili otroci zlobnosti kakor poprej

And I will provide a place for My people Israel and will plant them so that they may dwell in a place of their own and be disturbed no more. No longer will the sons of wickedness oppress them as they did at the beginning

10 in odkar sem zapovedal sodnikom, naj bodo nad mojim ljudstvom Izraelom. Poleg tega bom podjarmil vse tvoje sovražnike. Nadalje ti povem še, da ti bo Gospod zgradil hišo.

and have done since the day I appointed judges over My people Israel. And I will subdue all your enemies. Moreover, I declare to you that the LORD will build a house for you.

11 Zgodilo se bo, ko bodo tvoji dnevi pretekli, da moraš oditi, da boš s svojimi očeti, da bom obudil tvoje seme za teboj, ki bo izmed tvojih sinov in jaz bom utrdil njegovo kraljestvo.

And when your days are fulfilled and you go to be with your fathers, I will raise up your descendant after you, one of your own sons, and I will establish his kingdom.

12 Zgradil mi bo hišo in njegov prestol bom utrdil na veke.

He will build a house for Me, and I will establish his throne forever.

13 Jaz bom njegov oče in on bo moj sin. Svoje milosti ne bom odvzel od njega, kakor sem jo odvzel tistemu, ki je bil pred teboj,

I will be his Father, and he will be My son. And I will never remove My loving devotion from him as I removed it from your predecessor.

14 temveč ga bom postavil v svoji hiši in v svojem kraljestvu na veke in njegov prestol bo utrjen na vékomaj.‹«

But I will set him over My house and My kingdom forever, and his throne will be established forever.”

15 Glede na vse te besede in glede na vse to videnje, tako je Natán govoril Davidu.

So Nathan relayed to David all the words of this entire vision.

16 Kralj David je prišel in se usedel pred Gospodom ter rekel: »Kdo sem jaz, oh Gospod Bog in kaj je moja hiša, da si me privedel sèm?

Then King David went in, sat before the LORD, and said, “Who am I, O LORD God, and what is my house, that You have brought me this far?

17 Vendar je bila to majhna stvar v tvojih očeh, oh Bog, kajti govoril si tudi o hiši svojega služabnika za oddaljeni čas, ki pride in si se ozrl name glede na stan človeka visoke stopnje, oh Gospod Bog.

And as if this was a small thing in Your eyes, O God, You have spoken about the future of the house of Your servant and have regarded me as a man of great distinction, O LORD God.

18 Kaj ti lahko David še govori glede časti tvojega služabnika? Kajti poznaš svojega služabnika.

What more can David say to You for so honoring Your servant? For You know Your servant,

19 Oh Gospod, zaradi svojega služabnika in glede na svoje lastno srce, si storil vso to veličino v tem, da si dal spoznati vse te velike stvari.

O LORD. For the sake of Your servant and according to Your own heart, You have accomplished this great thing and revealed all Your greatness.

20 Oh Gospod, nobenega ni podobnega tebi niti ni nobenega Boga poleg tebe, glede na vse, kar smo slišali s svojimi ušesi.

O LORD, there is none like You, and there is no God but You, according to everything we have heard with our own ears.

21 Kateri narod na zemlji je podoben tvojemu ljudstvu Izraelu, ki ga je Bog šel odkupit, da postane njegovo lastno ljudstvo, da si si naredil ime veličine in strašnosti s pregonom narodov izpred svojega ljudstva, ki si ga odkupil iz Egipta?

And who is like Your people Israel—the one nation on earth whom God went out to redeem as a people for Himself? You made a name for Yourself through great and awesome wonders by driving out nations from before Your people, whom You redeemed from Egypt.

22 Kajti svojemu ljudstvu Izraelu si storil, da bo tvoje lastno ljudstvo na veke; in ti, Gospod, postajaš njihov Bog.

For You have made Your people Israel Your very own forever, and You, O LORD, have become their God.

23 Zato sedaj, Gospod, naj bo stvar, ki si jo govoril glede svojega služabnika in glede njegove hiše, utrjena na veke in stôri, kakor si rekel.

And now, O LORD, let the word You have spoken concerning Your servant and his house be established forever. Do as You have promised,

24 Naj bo to celo utrjeno, da bo tvoje ime lahko poveličano na veke, rekoč: › Gospod nad bojevniki je Izraelov Bog, celó Bog Izraelu‹ in naj bo hiša tvojega služabnika Davida utrjena pred teboj.

so that Your name will be established and magnified forever when it is said, ‘The LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, is God over Israel.’ And may the house of Your servant David be established before You.

25 Kajti ti, oh moj Bog, si povedal svojemu služabniku, da mu hočeš zgraditi hišo, zato je tvoj služabnik v svojem srcu našel, da moli pred teboj.

For You, my God, have revealed to Your servant that You will build a house for him. Therefore Your servant has found the courage to pray before You.

26 In sedaj, Gospod, ti si Bog in to dobroto si obljubil svojemu služabniku.

And now, O LORD, You are God! And You have promised this goodness to Your servant.

27 Zdaj naj ti torej to ugaja, da blagosloviš hišo svojega služabnika, da bo ta lahko pred teboj na veke, kajti ti blagoslavljaš, oh Gospod in to bo blagoslovljeno na veke.«

So now You have been pleased to bless the house of Your servant, that it may continue forever before You. For You, O LORD, have blessed it, and it will be blessed forever.”
