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.«

When David was living in his house, David said to Nathan the prophet, “Behold, I live in a cedar house, but the ark of the LORD’s covenant is in a tent.”

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

Nathan said 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:

That same 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 David my servant, ‘The LORD says, “You shall not build me a 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 lived in a house since the day that I brought up Israel to this day, but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tent 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?‹

In all places in which I have walked with all Israel, did I speak a word with any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to be shepherd of my people, saying, ‘Why have you not 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 therefore, you shall tell my servant David, ‘The LORD of Armies says, “I took you from the sheep pen, from following the sheep, to be prince 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 have cut off all your enemies from before you. I will make you a name like the name of the great ones who 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

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 waste them any more, as at the first,

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 from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. I will subdue all your enemies. Moreover I tell you that the LORD will build you a 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.

It will happen, when your days are fulfilled that you must go to be with your fathers, that I will set up your offspring after you, who will be of your sons; and I will establish his kingdom.

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

He will build me a house, 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. I will not take my loving kindness away from him, as I took it from him who was before you;

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 my house and in my kingdom forever. His throne will be established forever.”’”

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 Nathan spoke to 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?

Then David the king went in and sat before the LORD; and he said, “Who am I, 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.

This was a small thing in your eyes, O God, but you have spoken of your servant’s house for a great while to come, and have respected me according to the standard of a man of high degree, LORD God.

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

What can David say yet more to you concerning the honour which is done to 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.

LORD, for your servant’s sake, and according to your own heart, you have done all this greatness, to make 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.

LORD, there is no one like you, neither is there any God besides you, 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?

What one nation in the earth is like your people Israel, whom God went to redeem to himself for a people, to make you a name by great and awesome things, in driving out nations from before your people whom you 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 you made your people Israel your own people forever; and you, LORD, became 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.

Now, LORD, let the word that you have spoken concerning your servant, and concerning his house, be established forever, and do as you have spoken.

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 your name be established and magnified forever, saying, ‘The LORD of Armies is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel. The house of David your servant is 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 him a house. Therefore your servant has found courage to pray before you.

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

Now, LORD, you are God, and have promised this good thing 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.«

Now it has pleased you to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever before you; for you, LORD, have blessed, and it is blessed forever.”
