2 Samuel 12
1 Then the Lord sent Nathan to David. And when he had come to him, he said to him: “Two men were in one city: one wealthy, and the other poor.
Jahve posla proroka Natana k Davidu. On uđe k njemu i reče mu: “U nekom gradu živjela dva čovjeka, jedan bogat, a drugi siromašan.
2 The wealthy man had very many sheep and oxen.
Bogati imaše ovaca i goveda u obilju.
3 But the poor man had nothing at all, except one little sheep, which he had bought and nourished. And she had grown up before him, together with his children, eating from his bread, and drinking from his cup, and sleeping in his bosom. And she was like a daughter to him.
A siromah nemaše ništa, osim jedne jedine ovčice koju bijaše kupio. Hranio ju je i ona je rasla kraj njega i s njegovom djecom; jela je od njegova zalogaja, pila iz njegove čaše; spavala ja na njegovu krilu: bila mu je kao kći.
4 But when a certain traveler had come to the wealthy man, neglecting to take from his own sheep and oxen, so that he might present a feast for that traveler, who had come to him, he took the sheep of the poor man, and he prepared a meal for the man who had come to him.”
I dođe putnik k bogatom čovjeku, a njemu bilo žao uzeti od svojih ovaca ili goveda da zgotovi gostu koji mu je došao. On ukrade ovčicu siromaha i zgotovi je za svog pohodnika.”
5 Then David’s indignation was enraged exceedingly against that man, and he said to Nathan: “As the Lord lives, the man who has done this is a son of death.
Tada David planu žestokim gnjevom na toga čovjeka i reče Natanu: “Tako mi živog Jahve, smrt je zaslužio čovjek koji je to učinio!
6 He shall restore the sheep fourfold, because he did this word, and he did not take pity.”
Četverostruko će naknaditi ovcu zato što je učinio to djelo i što nije znao milosrđa!”
7 But Nathan said to David: “You are that man. Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: ‘I anointed you as king over Israel, and I rescued you from the hand of Saul.
Tada Natan reče Davidu: “Ti si taj čovjek! Ovako govori Jahve, Bog Izraelov: 'Ja sam te pomazao za kralja nad Izraelom, ja sam te izbavio iz Šaulove ruke.
8 And I gave the house of your lord to you, and the wives of your lord into your bosom. And I gave the house of Israel and of Judah to you. And as if these things were small, I shall add much greater things to you.
Predao sam ti kuću tvoga gospodara, položio sam žene tvoga gospodara na tvoje krilo, dao sam ti dom Izraelov i dom Judin; a ako to nije dosta, dodat ću ti još ovo ili ono.
9 Therefore, why have you despised the word of the Lord, so that you did evil in my sight? You have struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword. And you have taken his wife as a wife for yourself. And you have put him to death with the sword of the sons of Ammon.
Zašto si prezreo Jahvu i učinio ono što je zlo u njegovim očima? Ubio si mačem Uriju Hetita, a njegovu si ženu uzeo za svoju ženu. Jest, njega si ubio mačem Amonaca.
10 For this reason, the sword shall not withdraw from your house, even perpetually, because you have despised me, and you have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite, so that she may be your wife.’
Zato se neće nikada više okrenuti mač od tvoga doma, jer si me prezreo i jer si uzeo ženu Urije Hetita da ti bude žena.'
11 And so, thus says the Lord: ‘Behold, I will raise up over you an evil from your own house. And I will take your wives away before your eyes, and I will give them to your neighbor. And he will sleep with your wives in the sight of this sun.
Ovako govori Jahve: 'Evo ja ću podići na te zlo iz tvoga doma. Uzet ću tvoje žene ispred tvojih očiju i dat ću ih tvome bližnjemu, koji će spavati s tvojim ženama na vidiku ovome suncu.
12 For you acted secretly. But I will do this word in the sight of all of Israel, and in the sight of the sun.’”
Ti si doduše radio tajno, ali ja ću ovu prijetnju izvršiti pred svim Izraelom i pred ovim suncem!'”
13 And David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the Lord.” And Nathan said to David: “The Lord has also taken away your sin. You shall not die.
Tada David reče Natanu: “Sagriješio sam protiv Jahve!” A Natan odvrati Davidu: “Jahve ti oprašta tvoj grijeh: nećeš umrijeti.
14 Yet truly, because you have given occasion to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme, because of this word, the son who was born to you: dying he shall die.”
Ali jer si tim djelom prezreo Jahvu, neminovno će umrijeti dijete koje ti se rodilo!”
15 And Nathan returned to his own house. And the Lord struck the little one, whom the wife of Uriah had borne to David, and he was despaired of.
Potom Natan ode svojoj kući. A Jahve udari dijete koje je Urijina žena rodila Davidu i ono se teško razbolje.
16 And David begged the Lord on behalf of the little one. And David fasted strictly, and entering alone, he lay upon the ground.
David se molitvom obrati Bogu za dijete: postio je, vraćao se kući i ležao preko noći na goloj zemlji, pokriven vrećom.
17 Then the elders of his house came, urging him to rise up from the ground. And he was not willing, nor would he eat a meal with them.
A starješine njegova doma stajahu oko njega da ga podignu sa zemlje, ali on ne htjede i ne okusi s njima nikakva jela.
18 Then, on the seventh day, it happened that the infant died. And the servants of David were afraid to report to him that the little one had died. For they said: “Behold, when the child was still alive, we were speaking to him, but he would not listen to our voice. How much more will he afflict himself, if we tell him that the boy is dead?”
A sedmi dan umrije dijete. Davidovi dvorani ne usudiše se javiti mu da je dijete umrlo. Jer mišljahu: “Dok je dijete bilo živo, govorili smo mu, a on nas nije htio slušati. A kako ćemo mu kazati da je dijete umrlo? Učinit će zlo!”
19 But when David had seen his servants whispering, he realized that the infant had died. And he said to his servants, “Is the child dead?” And they responded to him, “He is dead.”
A David opazi da njegovi dvorani šapću među sobom i on shvati da je dijete umrlo. I upita David svoje dvorane: “Je li dijete umrlo?” A oni odgovoriše: “Umrlo je.”
20 Therefore, David rose up from the ground. And he washed and anointed himself. And when he had changed his clothing, he entered the house of the Lord, and he worshiped. Then he went to his own house, and he asked them to place bread before him, and he ate.
Tada David usta sa zemlje, okupa se, pomaza se i preobuče se u druge haljine. Zatim uđe u Dom Jahvin i pokloni se. Vrativši se potom svojoj kući, zatraži da mu dadu jela; i jeo je.
21 But his servants said to him: “What is this word that you have done? You fasted and were weeping, on behalf of the infant, while he was still alive. But when the boy was dead, you arose and ate bread.”
A njegovi dvorani upitaše ga: “Što to radiš? Dok je dijete bilo živo, postio si i plakao; a sada, kad je dijete umrlo, ustaješ i jedeš!”
22 And he said: “While he was yet alive, I fasted and wept on behalf of the infant. For I said: Who knows if the Lord may perhaps give him to me, and let the infant live?
A on odgovori: “Dok je dijete bilo živo, postio sam i plakao jer sam mislio: 'Tko zna? Jahve će se možda smilovati na me i dijete će ostati živo!'
23 But now that he is dead, why should I fast? Would I be able to bring him back anymore? Instead, I will go to him. Yet truly, he will not return to me.”
A sada, kad je umrlo, čemu da postim? Mogu li ga vratiti? Ja ću otići k njemu, ali se ono neće vratiti k meni!”
24 And David consoled his wife Bathsheba. And entering to her, he slept with her. And she bore a son, and he called his name Solomon, and the Lord loved him.
Potom David utješi svoju ženu Bat-Šebu. Dođe k njoj i leže s njom. Ona zatrudnje i rodi sina komu nadjenu ime Salomon. Jahve ga zamilova
25 And he sent, by the hand of Nathan the prophet, and he called his name, Beloved of the Lord, because the Lord loved him.
i objavi to po proroku Natanu. Ovaj ga nazva imenom Jedidja, po riječi Jahvinoj.
26 And then Joab fought against Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, and he fought outside the royal city.
Joab navali na Rabu sinova Amonovih i osvoji kraljevski grad.
27 And Joab sent messengers to David, saying: “I have struggled against Rabbah, and so the City of Waters will soon be seized.
Tada Joab posla glasnika k Davidu s porukom: “Ja sam navalio na Rabu i osvojio grad uz vodu.
28 Now therefore, gather the remaining portion of the people together, and besiege the city and take it. Otherwise, when the city will have been laid waste by me, the victory will be ascribed to my name.”
Sada ti saberi ostalu vojsku, opkoli grad i osvoji ga, da ne bih ja osvojio grada i dao mu svoje ime.”
29 And so David gathered together all the people, and he set out against Rabbah. And after he had fought, he seized it.
I skupi David svu vojsku, krenu na Rabu, navali na grad i zauze ga.
30 And he took the crown of their king from his head. The weight of it was a talent of gold, having the most precious gems. And it was placed upon the head of David. Moreover, he carried away the spoils of the city, which were very many.
Ondje skinu s Malkomove glave krunu, koja bijaše teška jedan zlatni talenat; u njoj je bio dragi kamen, koji posta ures na Davidovoj glavi. I vrlo bogat plijen odnese iz grada.
31 Also, bringing forth its people, he sawed them, and he drove over them with iron wagons, and he divided them with knives, and he dragged them through brick kilns. So he did to all the citizens of the sons of Ammon. And David returned, with the entire army, to Jerusalem.
A narod koji bijaše u njemu izvede i stavi ga da radi kod pila, željeznim pijucima i željeznim sjekirama i upotrijebi ga za rad u ciglanama. I tako je isto činio svim gradovima sinova Amonovih. Potom se David sa svom vojskom vrati u Jeruzalem.
