2 Samuel 12
1 Gospod je k Davidu poslal Natána. Ta je prišel k njemu in mu rekel: »Bila sta dva moža v enem mestu; eden bogat, drugi pa reven.
And the LORD sent Nathan unto David. And he came unto him, and said unto him, There were two men in one city; the one rich, and the other poor.
2 Bogat človek je imel silno mnogo tropov in čred,
The rich man had exceeding many flocks and herds:
3 toda reven človek ni imel ničesar, razen ene majhne ovčje jagnjice, ki jo je kupil in jo preživljal. Ta je zrasla skupaj z njim in z njegovimi otroki; jedla je od njegove lastne hrane, pila iz njegove lastne čaše, ležala v njegovem naročju in mu je bila kakor hči.
but the poor man had nothing, save one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished up: and it grew up together with him, and with his children; it did eat of his own morsel, and drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was unto him as a daughter.
4 K bogatašu pa je prišel popotnik in žal mu je bilo vzeti od svojega lastnega tropa in od svoje lastne črede, da pripravi za popotnika, ki je prišel k njemu, temveč je vzel reveževo jagnje in to pripravil za človeka, ki je prišel k njemu.«
And there came a traveller unto the rich man, and he spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd, to dress for the wayfaring man that was come unto him, but took the poor man’s lamb, and dressed it for the man that was come to him.
5 Davidova jeza je bila silno vžgana zoper tega moža in Natánu je rekel: » Kakor Gospod živi, mož, ki je storil to stvar, bo zagotovo umrl
And David’s anger was greatly kindled against the man; and he said to Nathan, As the LORD liveth, the man that hath done this is worthy to die:
6 in četverno bo povrnil jagnje, ker je storil to stvar in ker ni imel usmiljenja.«
and he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity.
7 Natán je rekel Davidu: »Ti si ta človek. Tako govori Gospod, Izraelov Bog: ›Mazilil sem te [za] kralja nad Izraelom in te osvobodil iz Savlove roke.
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 out of the hand of Saul;
8 Dal sem ti hišo tvojega gospodarja in v tvoje naročje žene tvojega gospodarja in dal sem ti Izraelovo in Judovo hišo. Če bi bilo to premalo, bi ti dodal še več takšnih in takšnih stvari.
and I gave thee thy master’s house, and thy master’s wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would have added unto thee such and such things.
9 Zakaj si preziral Gospodovo zapoved, da si storil zlo v njegovem pogledu? Hetejca Urijája si ubil z mečem in njegovo ženo vzel, da postane tvoja žena, njega pa si umoril z mečem Amónovih otrok.
Wherefore hast thou despised the word of the LORD, to do that which is evil in his sight? thou hast smitten Uriah the Hittite 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 Zdaj torej meč ne bo nikoli odšel od tvoje hiše, ker si me preziral in si vzel ženo Hetejca Urijája, da bi bila tvoja žena.‹
Now therefore, the sword shall never depart from thine house; because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife.
11 Tako govori Gospod: ›Glej, zoper tebe bom vzdignil zlo iz tvoje lastne hiše in pred tvojimi očmi bom vzel tvoje žene in jih dal tvojemu bližnjemu in ta bo ležal s tvojimi ženami v pogledu tega sonca.
Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them unto thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun.
12 Kajti ti si to delal naskrivaj, toda jaz bom to stvar storil pred vsem Izraelom in pred soncem.‹«
For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.
13 David je rekel Natánu: »Grešil sem zoper Gospoda.« Natán je rekel Davidu: » Gospod je tudi odstranil tvoj greh; ne boš umrl.
And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said unto David, The LORD also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die.
14 Vendar ker si s tem dejanjem dal Gospodovim sovražnikom veliko priložnost, da izrekajo bogokletje, bo tudi otrok, ki ti je rojen, zagotovo umrl.«
Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die.
15 In Natán je odšel od njegove hiše. Gospod pa je udaril otroka, ki ga je Urijájeva žena rodila Davidu in ta je bil zelo bolan.
And Nathan departed unto his house. And the LORD struck the child that Uriah’s wife bare unto David, and it was very sick.
16 David je zato rotil Boga za otroka in David se je postil in vstopil ter vso noč ležal na zemlji.
David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth.
17 Starešine njegove hiše so vstali in odšli k njemu, da ga vzdignejo z zemlje, toda ni hotel niti ni z njimi jedel kruha.
And the elders of his house arose, [and stood] beside him, to raise him up from the earth: but he would not, neither did he eat bread with them.
18 Pripetilo se je na sedmi dan, da je otrok umrl. Davidovi služabniki pa so se mu bali povedati, da je bil otrok mrtev, kajti rekli so: »Glej, medtem ko je bil otrok še živ, smo mu govorili, pa ni hotel poslušati našega glasu. Kako bo torej žalostil samega sebe, če mu povemo, da je otrok mrtev?«
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, while the child was yet alive, we spake unto him, and he hearkened not unto our voice: how will he then vex himself, if we tell him that the child is dead?
19 Toda ko je David videl, da so njegovi služabniki šepetali, je David zaznal, da je bil otrok mrtev. Zato je David rekel svojim služabnikom: »Je otrok mrtev?« Rekli so: »Mrtev je.«
But when David saw that his servants whispered together, David perceived that the child was dead: and David said unto his servants, Is the child dead? And they said, He is dead.
20 Potem se je David vzdignil z zemlje, se umil, mazilil, zamenjal svojo obleko, prišel v Gospodovo hišo in oboževal. Potem je prišel v svojo lastno hišo; in ko je zahteval, so predenj postavili kruh in je jedel.
Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his apparel; and he came into the house of the LORD, and worshipped: then he came to his own house; and when he required they set bread before him, and he did eat.
21 Potem so mu njegovi služabniki rekli: »Kakšna stvar je ta, ki si jo storil? Postil si se in jokal zaradi otroka, medtem ko je bil živ, toda ko je bil otrok mrtev, si vstal in jedel kruh.«
Then said his servants unto 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 and eat bread.
22 Rekel je: »Medtem ko je bil otrok še živ, sem se postil in jokal, kajti rekel sem: ›Kdo lahko pove, ali mi bo Bog milostljiv, da bo otrok lahko živel?‹
And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who knoweth whether the LORD will not be gracious to me, that the child may live?
23 Toda sedaj je mrtev, zakaj bi se torej postil? Ali ga lahko ponovno privedem nazaj? Jaz bom šel k njemu, toda on se ne bo vrnil k meni.«
But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.
24 David je potolažil svojo ženo Batšébo in šel noter k njej in ležal z njo in rodila je sina in njegovo ime je imenoval Salomon. In Gospod ga je ljubil.
And David comforted Bath-sheba his wife, and went in unto her, and lay with her: and she bare a son, and he called his name Solomon. And the LORD loved him;
25 In poslal je po roki preroka Natána in ta je njegovo ime imenoval Jedidjá, zaradi Gospoda.
and he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet, and he called his name Jedidiah, for the LORD’S sake.
26 Joáb se je boril zoper Rabo Amónovih sinov in zavzel kraljevo mesto.
Now Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city.
27 Joáb je poslal poslance k Davidu in rekel: »Boril sem se zoper Rabo in zavzel mesto vodá.
And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have fought against Rabbah, yea, I have taken the city of waters.
28 Zdaj torej zberi skupaj preostanek ljudstva in se utabôri zoper mesto in ga zavzemi, da ne bi jaz zavzel mesta in bi se ta imenoval po mojem imenu.«
Now therefore gather the rest of the people together, and encamp against the city, and take it: lest I take the city, and it be called after my name.
29 In David je vse ljudstvo zbral skupaj in odšel v Rabo in se bojeval zoper njo ter jo zavzel.
And David gathered all the people together, and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it.
30 Vzel je krono njihovega kralja iz njegove glave, katere teža je bila talent zlata z dragocenimi kamni in ta je bila postavljena na Davidovo glavo. In iz mesta je prinesel plena v velikem obilju.
And he took the crown of their king from off his head; and the weight thereof was a talent of gold, and [in it were] precious stones; and it was set on David’s head. And he brought forth the spoil of the city, exceeding much.
31 Privedel je ljudstvo, ki je bilo tam in jih postavil pod žage, pod brane iz železa, pod sekire iz železa in jih primoral, da gredo skozi opekarsko peč. Tako je storil vsem mestom Amónovih otrok. Tako se je David in vse ljudstvo vrnilo v Jeruzalem.
And he brought forth the people that were therein, and put them under saws, and under harrows of iron, and under axes of iron, and made them pass through the brickkiln: and thus did he unto all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned unto Jerusalem.
