2 Књига Самуилова 12
1 И посла Господ Натана к Давиду; и он дошав к њему рече му: У једном граду беху два човека, један богат а други сиромах.
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 Богати имаше оваца и говеда врло много;
The rich man had exceeding many flocks and herds;
3 А сиромах немаше ништа до једну малу овчицу, коју беше купио, и храњаше је, те одрасте уза њ и уз децу његову, и јеђаше од његовог залогаја, и из његове чаше пијаше, и на крилу му спаваше, и беше му као кћи.
but the poor man had nothing save one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and reared; 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 А дође путник к богатом човеку, а њему би жао узети из својих оваца или говеда да зготови путнику који дође к њему; него узе овцу оног сиромаха, и зготови је човеку, који дође к њему.
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 Тада се Давид врло разгневи на оног човека, и рече Натану: Тако жив био Господ, заслужио је смрт онај који је то учинио.
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 deserveth to die;
6 И овцу нека плати учетворо, што је то учинио и није му жао било.
and he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity.'
7 Тада рече Натан Давиду: Ти си тај. Овако вели Господ Бог Израиљев: Ја сам те помазао за цара над Израиљем, и ја сам те избавио из руку Саулових.
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 И дао сам ти дом господара твог, и жене господара твог на крило твоје, дао сам ти дом Израиљев и Јудин; и ако је мало додао бих ти то и то.
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 were too little, then would I add unto thee so much more.
9 Зашто си презрео реч Господњу чинећи шта Њему није по вољи? Урију Хетејина убио си мачем и узео си жену његову себи за жену, а њега си убио мачем синова Амонових.
Wherefore hast thou despised the word of the LORD, to do that which is evil in My sight? Uriah the Hittite thou hast smitten with the sword, and his wife thou hast taken to be thy wife, and him thou hast slain with the sword of the children of Ammon.
10 Зато неће се одмаћи мач од дома твог довека, што си ме презрео и узео жену Урије Хетејина да ти буде жена.
Now therefore, the sword shall never depart from thy house; because thou hast despised Me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife.
11 Овако вели Господ: Ево, ја ћу подигнути на те зло из дома твог, и узећу жене твоје на твоје очи, и даћу их ближњему твом, те ће спавати са женама твојим на видику свакоме.
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 Јер ти си учинио тајно, али ћу ја ово учинити пред свим Израиљем и сваком на видику.
For thou didst it secretly; but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.'
13 Тада рече Давид Натану: Сагреших Господу. А Натан рече Давиду: и Господ је пронео грех твој; нећеш умрети.
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 Али што си тим делом дао прилику непријатељима Господњим да хуле, зато ће ти умрети син који ти се родио.
Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast greatly blasphemed the enemies of the LORD, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die.'
15 Потом Натан отиде својој кући. А Господ удари дете које роди жена Уријина Давиду, те се разболе на смрт.
And Nathan departed unto his house. And the LORD struck the child that Uriah's wife bore unto David, and it was very sick.
16 И Давид се мољаше Богу за дете, и пошћаше се Давид, и дошавши лежаше преко ноћи на земљи.
David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and as often as he went in, he lay all night upon the earth.
17 И старешине дома његовог усташе око њега да га подигну са земље, али он не хте, нити једе шта с њима.
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 А кад би седми дан, умре дете; и не смеху слуге Давидове јавити му да је дете умрло, јер говораху: Ево, док дете беше живо, говорасмо му, па нас не хте послушати; а како ћемо му казати: Умрло је дете? Хоће га уцвелити.
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 spoke unto him, and he hearkened not unto our voice; how then shall we tell him that the child is dead, so that he do himself some harm?'
19 А Давид видећи где слуге његове шапћу међу собом, досети се да је умрло дете; и рече Давид слугама својим: Је ли умрло дете? А они рекоше: Умрло је.
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 Тада Давид уста са земље, и уми се, и намаза се и преобуче се; и отиде у дом Господњи, и поклони се. Потом опет дође кући својој, и заиска да му донесу да једе; и једе.
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 А слуге његове рекоше му: Шта то радиш? Док беше дете живо, постио си и плакао; а кад умре дете, устао си и једеш.
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 А он рече: Док дете беше живо, постио сам и плакао, јер говорах: ко зна, може се смиловати Господ на ме да дете остане живо.
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 А сад умрло је; што бих постио? Могу ли га повратити? Ја ћу отићи к њему, али он неће се вратити к мени.
But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he will not return to me.'
24 Потом Давид утеши Витсавеју жену своју, и отиде к њој, и леже с њом. И она роди сина, коме наде име Соломун. И мио беше Господу.
And David comforted Bath-sheba his wife, and went in unto her, and lay with her; and she bore a son, and called his name Solomon. And the LORD loved him;
25 И посла Натана пророка, те му наде име Једидија, ради Господа.
and He sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet, and he called his name Jedidiah, for the LORD'S sake.
26 А Јоав бијући Раву синова Амонових, узе царски град.
Now Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city.
27 И посла посланике к Давиду, и рече: Бих Раву, и узех град на води.
And Joab sent messengers to David, and said: 'I have fought against Rabbah, yea, I have taken the city of waters.
28 Него сада скупи остали народ, и стани у логор према граду, и узми га, да га не бих ја узео и моје се име спомињало на њему.
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 И Давид скупивши сав народ отиде на Раву, и удари на њу, и узе је.
And David gathered all the people together, and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it.
30 И узе цару њиховом с главе круну, у којој беше таланат злата, с драгим камењем, и метнуше је на главу Давиду, и однесе из града плен врло велик.
And he took the crown of Malcam 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 А народ који беше у њему изведе и метну их под пиле и под бране гвоздене и под секире гвоздене, и сагна их у пећи где се опеке пеку. И тако учини свим градовима синова Амонових. Потом се врати Давид са свим народом у Јерусалим.
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.
