2 Samuelova 12
1 I posla Gospod Natana k Davidu; i on došav k njemu reèe mu: u jednom gradu bijahu dva èovjeka, jedan bogat a drugi siromah.
The LORD sent Nathan to David. He came to him, and said to him, “There were two men in one city: the one rich, and the other poor.
2 Bogati imaše ovaca i goveda vrlo mnogo;
The rich man had very many flocks and herds,
3 A siromah nemaše ništa do jednu malu ovèicu, koju bješe kupio, i hranjaše je, te odraste uza nj i uz djecu njegovu, i jeðaše od njegova zalogaja, i iz njegove èaše pijaše, i na krilu mu spavaše, i bijaše mu kao kæi.
but the poor man had nothing, except one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and raised. It grew up together with him and with his children. It ate of his own food, drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was like a daughter to him.
4 A doðe putnik k bogatome èovjeku, a njemu bi žao uzeti iz svojih ovaca ili goveda da zgotovi putniku koji doðe k njemu; nego uze ovcu onoga siromaha, i zgotovi je èovjeku, koji doðe k njemu.
A traveler came to the rich man, and he didn’t want to take of his own flock and of his own herd to prepare for the wayfaring man who had come to him, but took the poor man’s lamb and prepared it for the man who had come to him.”
5 Tada se David vrlo razgnjevi na onoga èovjeka, i reèe Natanu: tako živ bio Gospod, zaslužio je smrt onaj koji je to uèinio.
David’s anger burned hot against the man, and he said to Nathan, “As the LORD lives, the man who has done this deserves to die!
6 I ovcu neka plati uèetvoro, što je to uèinio i nije mu žao bilo.
He must restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing and because he had no pity!”
7 Tada reèe Natan Davidu: ti si taj. Ovako veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev: ja sam te pomazao za cara nad Izrailjem, i ja sam te izbavio iz ruku Saulovijeh.
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 I dao sam ti dom gospodara tvojega, i žene gospodara tvojega na krilo tvoje, dao sam ti dom Izrailjev i Judin; i ako je malo, dodao bih ti to i to.
I gave you your master’s house and your master’s wives into your bosom, 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 Zašto si prezreo rijeè Gospodnju èineæi što njemu nije po volji? Uriju Hetejina ubio si maèem i uzeo si ženu njegovu sebi za ženu, a njega si ubio maèem sinova Amonovijeh.
Why have you despised the LORD’s word, to do that which is evil in his sight? You have struck Uriah the Hittite with the sword, have taken his wife to be your wife, and have slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.
10 Zato neæe se odmaæi maè od doma tvojega dovijeka, što si me prezreo i uzeo ženu Urije Hetejina da ti bude žena.
Now therefore the sword will never depart from your house, because you have despised me and have taken Uriah the Hittite’s wife to be your wife.’
11 Ovako veli Gospod: evo, ja æu podignuti na te zlo iz doma tvojega, i uzeæu žene tvoje na tvoje oèi, i daæu ih bližnjemu tvojemu, te æe spavati sa ženama tvojim na vidiku svakomu.
“This is what the LORD says: ‘Behold, 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 Jer ti si uèinio tajno, ali æu ja ovo uèiniti pred svijem Izrailjem i svakomu na vidiku.
For you did this secretly, but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.’”
13 Tada reèe David Natanu: sagriješih Gospodu. A Natan reèe Davidu: i Gospod je pronio grijeh tvoj; neæeš umrijeti.
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 Ali što si tijem djelom dao priliku neprijateljima Gospodnjim da hule, zato æe ti umrijeti sin koji ti se rodio.
However, because by this deed you have given great occasion to the LORD’s enemies to blaspheme, the child also who is born to you will surely die.”
15 Potom Natan otide svojoj kuæi. A Gospod udari dijete koje rodi žena Urijina Davidu, te se razbolje na smrt.
Then Nathan departed to his house. The LORD struck the child that Uriah’s wife bore to David, and he was very sick.
16 I David se moljaše Bogu za dijete, i pošæaše se David, i došavši ležaše preko noæ na zemlji.
David therefore begged God for the child; and David fasted, and went in and lay all night on the ground.
17 I starješine doma njegova ustaše oko njega da ga podignu sa zemlje, ali on ne htje, niti jede što s njima.
The elders of his house arose beside him, to raise him up from the earth; but he would not, and he didn’t eat bread with them.
18 A kad bi sedmi dan, umrije dijete; i ne smijahu sluge Davidove javiti mu da je dijete umrlo, jer govorahu: evo, dok dijete bijaše živo, govorasmo mu, pa nas ne htje poslušati; a kako æemo mu kazati: umrlo je dijete? hoæe ga ucvijeliti.
On the seventh day, the child died. David’s servants were afraid to tell him that the child was dead, for they said, “Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spoke to him and he didn’t listen to our voice. How will he then harm himself if we tell him that the child is dead?”
19 A David videæi gdje sluge njegove šapæu meðu sobom, dosjeti se da je umrlo dijete; i reèe David slugama svojim: je li umrlo dijete? A oni rekoše: umrlo je.
But when David saw 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 Tada David usta sa zemlje, i umi se, i namaza se i preobuèe se; i otide u dom Gospodnji, i pokloni se. Potom opet doðe kuæi svojoj, i zaiska da mu donesu da jede; i jede.
Then David arose from the earth, and washed and anointed himself, and changed his clothing; and he came into the LORD’s house, and worshiped. Then he came to his own house; and when he requested, they set bread before him and he ate.
21 A sluge njegove rekoše mu: šta to radiš? dok bijaše dijete živo, postio si i plakao; a kad umrije dijete, ustao si i jedeš.
Then his servants said to him, “What is this that you have done? You fasted and wept for the child while he was alive, but when the child was dead, you rose up and ate bread.”
22 A on reèe: dok dijete bijaše živo, postio sam i plakao, jer govorah: ko zna, može se smilovati Gospod na me da dijete ostane živo.
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 A sada umrlo je; što bih postio? mogu li ga povratiti? ja æu otiæi k njemu, ali on neæe se vratiti k meni.
But now he is dead. Why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I will go to him, but he will not return to me.”
24 Potom David utješi Vitsaveju ženu svoju, i otide k njoj, i leže s njom. I ona rodi sina, kojemu nadje ime Solomun. I mio bješe Gospodu.
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 I posla Natana proroka, te mu nadje ime Jedidija, radi Gospoda.
and he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet, and he named him Jedidiah, for the LORD’s sake.
26 A Joav bijuæi Ravu sinova Amonovih, uze carski grad.
Now Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city.
27 I posla poslanike k Davidu, i reèe: bih Ravu, i uzeh grad na vodi.
Joab sent messengers to David, and said, “I have fought against Rabbah. Yes, I have taken the city of waters.
28 Nego sada skupi ostali narod, i stani u oko prema gradu, i uzmi ga, da ga ne bih ja uzeo i moje se ime spominjalo na njemu.
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 by my name.”
29 I David skupiv sav narod otide na Ravu, i udari na nju, i uze je.
David gathered all the people together and went to Rabbah, and fought against it and took it.
30 I uze caru njihovu s glave krunu, u kojoj bješe talanat zlata, s dragim kamenjem, i metnuše je na glavu Davidu, i odnese iz grada plijen vrlo velik.
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 a great quantity of plunder out of the city.
31 A narod koji bijaše u njemu izvede i metnu ih pod pile i pod brane gvozdene i pod sjekire gvozdene, i sagna ih u peæi gdje se opeke peku. I tako uèini svijem gradovima sinova Amonovijeh. Potom se vrati David sa svijem narodom u Jerusalim.
He brought out the people who were in it, and put them to work under saws, under iron picks, under axes of iron, and made them go to the brick kiln; and he did so to all the cities of the children of Ammon. Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
