2 Samuelova 7
1 Kad se David nastanio u svojem dvoru i kad mu je Jahve pribavio mir od svih njegovih neprijatelja unaokolo,
And it comes to pass, when the king sat in his house, and YHWH has given rest to him all around, from all his enemies,
2 reče kralj proroku Natanu: “Pogledaj! Ja, evo, stojim u dvoru od cedrovine, a Kovčeg Božji stoji pod šatorom.”
that the king says to Nathan the prophet, “Now see, I am dwelling in a house of cedars, but the Ark of God is dwelling in the midst of the curtain.”
3 A Natan odgovori kralju: “Idi i čini sve što ti je na srcu jer je Jahve s tobom.”
And Nathan says to the king, “All that [is] in your heart—go, do, for YHWH [is] with you.”
4 Ali još iste noći dođe Natanu ova Jahvina riječ:
And it comes to pass in that night, that the word of YHWH is to Nathan, saying,
5 “Idi i reci mome sluzi Davidu: Ovako govori Jahve: 'Zar ćeš mi ti sagraditi kuću da u njoj prebivam?
“Go, and you have said to My servant, to David, Thus said YHWH: Do you build for Me a house for My dwelling in?
6 Nisam nikad prebivao u kući otkako sam izveo iz Egipta sinove Izraelove pa do današnjega dana, nego sam bio lutalac pod šatorom i u prebivalištu.
For I have not dwelt in a house even from the day of My bringing up the sons of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, and am walking up and down in a tent and in a dwelling place.
7 Dok sam hodio sa svim Izraelovim sinovima, jesam li ijednu riječ rekao nekomu od Izraelovih sudaca kojima sam zapovjedio da budu pastiri mojem narodu izraelskom i kazao: 'Zašto mi ne sagradite kuću od cedrovine?'
During all [the time] that I have walked up and down among all the sons of Israel, have I spoken a word with one of the tribes of Israel, which I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, Why have you not built a house of cedars for Me?
8 Zato sad ovo reci mome sluzi Davidu: Ovako govori Jahve nad vojskama: Ja sam te doveo s pašnjaka, od ovaca i koza, da budeš knez nad mojim izraelskim narodom.
And now, thus you say to My servant, to David, Thus said YHWH of Hosts: I have taken you from the pasture, from after the flock, to be leader over My people, over Israel;
9 Bio sam s tobom kuda si god išao, iskorijenio sam sve tvoje neprijatelje pred tobom. Ja ću ti pribaviti veliko ime, kao što je velikaško ime na zemlji.
and I am with you wherever you have gone, and I cut off all your enemies from your presence, and have made a great name for you, as the name of the great ones who [are] in the earth,
10 Odredit ću prebivalište svojem izraelskom narodu, posadit ću ga da živi na svojem mjestu i da ne luta više naokolo, niti da ga zlikovci muče kao prije,
and I have appointed a place for My people, for Israel, and have planted it, and it has dwelt in its place, and it is not troubled anymore, and the sons of perverseness do not add to afflict it anymore, as in the beginning,
11 onda kad sam odredio suce nad svojim izraelskim narodom. Ja ću mu pribaviti mir od svih njegovih neprijatelja. Jahve će te učiniti velikim. Jahve će ti podići dom.
even from the day that I appointed judges over My people Israel; and I have given rest to you from all your enemies, and YHWH has declared to you that YHWH makes a house for you.
12 I kad se ispune tvoji dani i ti počineš kod svojih otaca, podići ću tvoga potomka nakon tebe, koji će se roditi od tvoga tijela, i utvrdit ću njegovo kraljevstvo.
When your days are full, and you have lain with your fathers, then I have raised up your seed after you which goes out from your bowels, and have established his kingdom;
13 On će sagraditi dom imenu mojem, a ja ću utvrditi njegovo prijestolje zauvijek.
he builds a house for My Name, and I have established the throne of his kingdom for all time.
14 Ja ću njemu biti otac, a on će meni biti sin: ako učini što zlo, kaznit ću ga ljudskom šibom i udarcima kako ih zadaju sinovi ljudski.
I am to him for a father, and he is to Me for a son; whom in his dealing perversely I have even reproved with a rod of men, and with strokes of the sons of Adam,
15 Ali svoje naklonosti neću odvratiti od njega, kao što sam je odvratio od Šaula koga sam uklonio ispred tebe.
and My kindness does not turn aside from him, as I turned it aside from Saul, whom I turned aside from before you,
16 Tvoja će kuća i tvoje kraljevstvo trajati dovijeka preda mnom, tvoje će prijestolje čvrsto stajati zasvagda.'”
and your house and your kingdom [are] steadfast before you for all time, your throne is established for all time.”
17 Natan prenese Davidu sve te riječi i cijelo viđenje.
According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so spoke Nathan to David.
18 Nato kralj David uđe u šator i stade pred Jahvom i pomoli se: “Tko sam ja, Gospode Jahve, i što je moj dom te si me doveo dovde?
And King David comes in and sits before YHWH, and says, “Who [am] I, Lord YHWH? And what [is] my house, that You have brought me here?
19 Pa i to je još premalo u tvojim očima, Gospode Jahve, te daješ svoja obećanja kući svoga sluge za daleku budućnost i gledaš na me kao na ugledna čovjeka!
And yet this [is] little in Your eyes, Lord YHWH, and You also speak concerning the house of Your servant far off; and this [is] the law of the man, Lord YHWH.
20 Ali što bi ti David još mogao kazati, kad ti sam poznaješ svoga slugu, Gospode Jahve!
And what does David add more to speak to You? And You, You have known Your servant, Lord YHWH.
21 Radi svoje riječi i po svome srcu učinio si sve ovo veliko djelo, obznanivši ove veličajnosti.
Because of Your word, and according to Your heart, You have done all this greatness, to cause Your servant to know [it].
22 Zato si velik, Gospode Jahve; nema takvoga kakav si ti i nema Boga osim tebe, po svemu što smo ušima svojim čuli.
Therefore You have been great, YHWH God, for there is none like You, and there is no God except You, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
23 Postoji li ijedan narod na zemlji kao tvoj izraelski narod radi kojega je Bog išao da ga izbavi sebi za narod da tako stečeš sebi ime velikim i strašnim čudesima, izgoneći krivobožačka plemena pred svojim narodom koji si otkupio iz Egipta?
And who [is] as Your people, as Israel—one nation in the earth, whom God has gone to redeem for a people for Himself, and to make for Himself a name—and to do for Yourself the greatness—even fearful things for Your land, at the presence of Your people, whom You have redeemed for Yourself out of Egypt—[among the] nations and their gods?
24 Tako si učinio svoj izraelski narod svojim narodom zauvijek, a ti si mu, Jahve, postao Bogom.
Indeed, You establish Your people Israel for Yourself, for a people for Yourself for all time, and You, YHWH, have been to them for God.
25 Zato sada, Gospode Jahve, ispuni zauvijek obećanje koje si dao svome sluzi i njegovu domu i učini kako si obrekao.
And now, YHWH God, the word which You have spoken concerning Your servant, and concerning his house, establish for all time, and do as You have spoken.
26 Neka se veliča tvoje ime zauvijek i neka se govori: Jahve nad vojskama jest Bog Izraelov, a dom sluge tvoga Davida neka stoji čvrsto pred tobom.
And Your Name is great for all time, saying, YHWH of Hosts [is] God over Israel, and the house of Your servant David is established before You,
27 Jer si ti, Jahve nad vojskama, Bože Izraelov, objavio svome sluzi ovo: 'Ja ću ti podići dom.' Zato je tvoj sluga smogao hrabrosti da ti se pomoli ovom molitvom.
for You, YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, have uncovered the ear of Your servant, saying, I build a house for you, therefore Your servant has found his heart to pray this prayer to You.
28 Uistinu, Gospode Jahve, ti si Bog, tvoje su riječi istinite i ti daješ ovo lijepo obećanje svome sluzi.
And now, Lord YHWH, You [are] God Himself, and Your words are truth, and You speak this goodness to Your servant,
29 Udostoj se sada blagosloviti dom svoga sluge da ostane dovijeka pred tobom. Jer kad ti, Gospode Jahve, obrekneš i blagosloviš, kuća tvoga sluge bit će blagoslovljena zasvagda.”
and now, begin and bless the house of Your servant, to be before You for all time, for You, Lord YHWH, have spoken, and by Your blessing the house of Your servant is blessed for all time.”
