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.«

Now it came to pass, as David sat in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, Lo, I dwell in an house of cedars, but the ark of the covenant of Yhwh remaineth under curtains.

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

Then Nathan said unto David, Do all that is in thine heart; for God is with thee.

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

And it came to pass the same night, that 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 David my servant, Thus saith Yhwh, Thou shalt not build me an house to dwell in:

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 an house since the day that I brought up Israel unto this day; but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another.

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?‹

Wheresoever I have walked with all Israel, spake I a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, Why have ye not built me an house of cedars?

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 therefore thus shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith Yhwh of Armies, I took thee from the sheepcote, even from following the sheep, that thou shouldest be 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.

And I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast walked, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee, and have made thee a name like the name of the great men that are in the earth.

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

Also I will ordain a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall dwell in their place, and shall be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as 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 since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. Moreover I will subdue all thine enemies. Furthermore I tell thee that Yhwh will build thee an house.

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 it shall come to pass, when thy days be expired that thou must go to be with thy fathers, that I will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall be of thy sons; and I will establish his kingdom.

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

He shall build me an house, and I will stablish his throne for ever.

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 shall be my son: and I will not take my mercy away from him, as I took it from him that was before thee:

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

But I will settle him in mine house and in my kingdom for ever: and his throne shall be established for evermore.

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

According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.

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?

And David the king came and sat before Yhwh, and said, Who am I, O Yhwh God, and what is mine house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?

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 yet this was a small thing in thine eyes, O God; for thou hast also spoken of thy servant’s house for a great while to come, and hast regarded me according to the estate of a man of high degree, O Yhwh God.

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

What can David speak more to thee for the honour of thy servant? for thou knowest thy 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 Yhwh, for thy servant’s sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all this greatness, in making known all these great things.

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

O Yhwh, there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our 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 what one nation in the earth is like thy people Israel, whom God went to redeem to be his own people, to make thee a name of greatness and terribleness, by driving out nations from before thy people, whom thou hast redeemed out of Egypt?

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

For thy people Israel didst thou make thine own people for ever; and thou, Yhwh, becamest 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.

Therefore now, Yhwh, let the thing that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house be established for ever, and do as thou hast said.

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.

Let it even be established, that thy name may be magnified for ever, saying, Yhwh of Armies is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel: and let the house of David thy servant be established before thee.

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 thou, O my God, hast told thy servant that thou wilt build him an house: therefore thy servant hath found in his heart to pray before thee.

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

And now, Yhwh, thou art God, and hast promised this goodness unto thy 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.«

Now therefore let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may be before thee for ever: for thou blessest, O Yhwh, and it shall be blessed for ever.
