¹Now it came to pass, as David sat in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, Lo, I dwell in an house of cedars, but the ark of the covenant of the LORD remaineth under curtains.

¹In zgodi se, ko je David prebival v hiši svoji, da reče Natanu proroku: Glej, jaz stanujem v cedrovi hiši, a skrinja zaveze GOSPODOVE prebiva pod preprogami.

²Then Nathan said unto David, Do all that is in thine heart; for God is with thee.

²In Natan reče Davidu: Stori vse, kar ti je v srcu, kajti Bog je s teboj!

³And it came to pass the same night, that the word of God came to Nathan, saying,

³Še to noč pa pride beseda GOSPODOVA k Natanu, govoreč:

⁴Go and tell David my servant, Thus saith the LORD, Thou shalt not build me an house to dwell in:

⁴Pojdi in reci hlapcu mojemu Davidu: Tako pravi GOSPOD: Ne boš mi ti gradil hiše, da prebivam v njej.

⁵For I have not dwelt in an house since the day that I brought up Israel unto this day; but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another.

⁵Saj nisem prebival v hiši od dne, ko sem pripeljal Izraela semkaj, do današnjega dne, ampak hodil sem iz šatora v šator, iz enega bivališča v drugo.

⁶Wheresoever I have walked with all Israel, spake I a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, Why have ye not built me an house of cedars?

⁶Kamorkoli sem šel z vsem Izraelom, sem li besedo govoril s katerim sodnikov Izraelovih, ki sem jim zapovedal pasti ljudstvo moje, rekoč: Zakaj mi niste zgradili cedrove hiše?

⁷Now therefore thus shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, even from following the sheep, that thou shouldest be ruler over my people Israel:

⁷Tako torej véli hlapcu mojemu Davidu: Tako pravi GOSPOD nad vojskami: Jaz sem te vzel s pašnikov, ko si hodil za ovcami, da bodeš vojvoda ljudstvu mojemu Izraelu;

⁸And I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast walked, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee, and have made thee a name like the name of the great men that are in the earth.

⁸in sem bil s teboj, kamorkoli si šel, in sem zatrl vse sovražnike tvoje pred teboj in ti storil ime kakor ime velikašev, ki so na zemlji.

⁹Also I will ordain a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall dwell in their place, and shall be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the beginning,

⁹In hočem pripraviti kraj ljudstvu svojemu Izraelu in jih zasaditi, da bodo prebivali na svojem in se več ne premikali; tudi jih ne bodo več gonobili sinovi krivice kakor poprej

¹⁰And since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. Moreover I will subdue all thine enemies. Furthermore I tell thee that the LORD will build thee an house.

¹⁰in odkar sem zapovedal sodnikom, da bodo nad ljudstvom mojim Izraelom; in ponižam vse sovražnike tvoje. Vrhutega ti pravim, da GOSPOD zgradi hišo tebi.

¹¹And it shall come to pass, when thy days be expired that thou must go to be with thy fathers, that I will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall be of thy sons; and I will establish his kingdom.

¹¹Ko se ti dopolnijo dnevi, da pojdeš k očetom svojim, hočem postaviti seme tvoje za teboj, ki bode izmed sinov tvojih, in hočem utrditi kraljestvo njegovo.

¹²He shall build me an house, and I will stablish his throne for ever.

¹²On mi bo zgradil hišo, in jaz utrdim prestol njegov na veke.

¹³I will be his father, and he shall be my son: and I will not take my mercy away from him, as I took it from him that was before thee:

¹³Jaz mu bodem za očeta, in on mi bode za sina; in mu ne odtegnem milosti svoje, kakor sem jo odtegnil njemu, ki je bil pred teboj,

¹⁴But I will settle him in mine house and in my kingdom for ever: and his throne shall be established for evermore.

¹⁴temuč ustanovitim ga v hiši svoji in v kraljestvu svojem za vekomaj, in prestol njegov bo utrjen vekomaj.

¹⁵According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.

¹⁵Po vseh teh besedah in po vsej tej prikazni je točno govoril Natan Davidu.

¹⁶And David the king came and sat before the LORD, and said, Who am I, O LORD God, and what is mine house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?

¹⁶Tedaj stopi David noter in sede pred GOSPODA in reče: Kdo sem jaz, o GOSPOD Bog, in kaj je hiša moja, da si me privedel tako daleč?

¹⁷And yet this was a small thing in thine eyes, O God; for thou hast also spoken of thy servant's house for a great while to come, and hast regarded me according to the estate of a man of high degree, O LORD God.

¹⁷In to se je še premalo videlo tvojim očem, o Bog, in govoril si o hlapca svojega hiši za daljno prihodnost, in pogledal si me po načinu vzvišenega človeka, GOSPOD Bog.

¹⁸What can David speak more to thee for the honor of thy servant? for thou knowest thy servant.

¹⁸Kaj more David še govoriti tebi zastran časti, izkazane hlapcu tvojemu? Saj ti poznaš hlapca svojega.

¹⁹O LORD, for thy servant's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all this greatness, in making known all these great things.

¹⁹O GOSPOD, zaradi hlapca svojega in po srcu svojem si storil vso to velikost, da oznaniš vse te velike reči.

²⁰O LORD, there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

²⁰O GOSPOD, ni ga tebi enakega, tudi ni Boga razen tebe, po vsem, kar smo slišali na ušesa svoja.

²¹And what one nation in the earth is like thy people Israel, whom God went to redeem to be his own people, to make thee a name of greatness and terribleness, by driving out nations from before thy people whom thou hast redeemed out of Egypt?

²¹In kje je edino ljudstvo na zemlji kakor ljudstvo tvoje Izrael, ki ga je šel Bog odkupit sebi za ljudstvo, da si napraviš ime z velikimi in strahovitimi rečmi, ko si pregnal narode izpred ljudstva svojega, ki si ga odkupil iz Egipta?

²²For thy people Israel didst thou make thine own people for ever; and thou, LORD, becamest their God.

²²Kajti storil si ljudstvo svoje, Izraela, sebi za ljudstvo na vekomaj, in ti si, GOSPOD, postal njih Bog.

²³Therefore now, LORD, let the thing that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house be established for ever, and do as thou hast said.

²³In sedaj, o GOSPOD: beseda, ki si jo govoril o hlapcu svojem in o hiši njegovi, ostani veljavna na vekomaj, in stóri, kakor si govoril.

²⁴Let it even be established, that thy name may be magnified for ever, saying, The LORD of hosts is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel: and let the house of David thy servant be established before thee.

²⁴Da, veljavna ostani in ime tvoje bodi poveličevano vekomaj, ko bodo govorili: GOSPOD nad vojskami, Bog Izraelov, je Bog za Izraela! In hiša tvojega hlapca Davida bodi utrjena pred teboj!

²⁵For thou, O my God, hast told thy servant that thou wilt build him an house: therefore thy servant hath found in his heart to pray before thee.

²⁵Zakaj ti, moj Bog, si razodel hlapcu svojemu, da mu zgradiš hišo; zato se je osrčil hlapec tvoj moliti pred teboj.

²⁶And now, LORD, thou art God, and hast promised this goodness unto thy servant:

²⁶In sedaj, o GOSPOD, ti si Bog, in ti si govoril hlapcu svojemu to predobro obljubo!In sedaj rači blagosloviti hlapca svojega hišo, da ostane pred teboj vekomaj; ker ti si jo, o GOSPOD, blagoslovil, zato bo blagoslovljena vekomaj.

²⁷Now therefore let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may be before thee for ever: for thou blessest, O LORD, and it shall be blessed for ever.

²⁷In sedaj rači blagosloviti hlapca svojega hišo, da ostane pred teboj vekomaj; ker ti si jo, o GOSPOD, blagoslovil, zato bo blagoslovljena vekomaj.
