¹And it came to pass, when the king sat in his house, and the LORD had given him rest round about from all his enemies;

¹In zgodi se, ko je prebival kralj v hiši svoji in mu je GOSPOD dal pokoj od vseh sovražnikov njegovih okoli,

²That the king said unto Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in an house of cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth within curtains.

²da reče kralj Natanu proroku: Poglej zdaj, jaz stanujem v cedrovi hiši, skrinja Božja pa prebiva pod preprogami.

³And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in thine heart; for the LORD is with thee.

³In Natan veli kralju: Pojdi, stóri vse, kar ti je v srcu, zakaj GOSPOD je s teboj.

⁴And it came to pass that night, that the word of the LORD came unto Nathan, saying,

⁴A še to noč pride beseda GOSPODOVA k Natanu, govoreč:

⁵Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith the LORD, Shalt thou build me an house for me to dwell in?

⁵Pojdi in reci hlapcu mojemu, Davidu: Tako pravi GOSPOD: Ali mi boš ti zgradil hišo, da prebivam v njej?

⁶Whereas I have not dwelt in any house since the time that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have walked in a tent and in a tabernacle.

⁶Saj nisem prebival v hiši od dne, ko sem odpeljal sinove Izraelove iz Egipta, do današnjega dne, temuč sem hodil ž njimi v šatoru in prebivališču.

⁷In all the places wherein I have walked with all the children of Israel spake I a word with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, Why build ye not me an house of cedar?

⁷Kamorkoli sem šel z vsemi sinovi Izraelovimi, sem li kdaj besedo govoril s katerim rodov Izraelovih, ki sem jim zapovedal pasti ljudstvo moje, Izraela, rekoč: Zakaj mi niste zgradili cedrove hiše?

⁸Now therefore so shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, from following the sheep, to be ruler over my people, over Israel:

⁸Tako 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;

⁹And I was with thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have cut off all thine enemies out of thy sight, and have made thee a great name, like unto the name of the great men that are in the earth.

⁹in sem bil s teboj, kamorkoli si šel, in sem zatrl vse sovražnike tvoje pred teboj in storil ti veliko ime, kakor ime velikašev, ki so na zemlji.

¹⁰Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as beforetime,

¹⁰In hočem pripraviti mesto ljudstvu svojemu in jih posaditi, da bodo prebivali na svojem in se več ne premikali, da jih tudi ne bodo stiskali več sinovi krivice kakor poprej

¹¹And as since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel, and have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies. Also the LORD telleth thee that he will make thee an house.

¹¹in odkar sem zapovedal sodnikom, da naj bodo nad ljudstvom mojim, Izraelom. In dal sem ti pokoj pred vsemi sovražniki tvojimi. Vrhutega ti GOSPOD oznanja, da GOSPOD zgradi hišo tebi.

¹²And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.

¹²Ko se ti dopolnijo dnevi in boš ležal z očeti svojimi, hočem za tabo obuditi seme tvoje, ki pride iz osrčja tvojega, in utrditi kraljestvo njegovo.

¹³He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever.

¹³On zgradi hišo imenu mojemu, in jaz utrdim kraljestva njegovega prestol na veke.

¹⁴I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men:

¹⁴Jaz mu bodem za očeta, in on mi bode za sina. Kadar stori kaj krivega, ga bom pokoril s človeško šibo in kaznoval z udarci človečjih otrok.

¹⁵But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee.

¹⁵Ali milost moja ne odstopi od njega, kakor sem jo odtegnil Savlu, ki sem ga odpravil izpred tebe.

¹⁶And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.

¹⁶Ampak hiša tvoja in kraljestvo tvoje bode stanovitno pred teboj vekomaj, prestol tvoj bodi utrjen na veke.

¹⁷According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.

¹⁷Po vseh teh besedah in po vsej tej prikazni je točno govoril Natan Davidu.

¹⁸Then went king David in, and sat before the LORD, and he said, Who am I, O Lord GOD? and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?

¹⁸Tedaj stopi David noter in sede pred GOSPODA in reče: Kdo sem jaz, o Gospod Jehova, in kaj je hiša moja, da si me privedel tako daleč?

¹⁹And this was yet a small thing in thy sight, O Lord GOD; but thou hast spoken also of thy servant's house for a great while to come. And is this the manner of man, O Lord GOD?

¹⁹In to se je še premalo videlo tvojim očem, o Gospod Jehova, kajti govoril si tudi o hlapca svojega hiši za daljno prihodnost, in to po načinu človeka, Gospod Jehova!

²⁰And what can David say more unto thee? for thou, Lord GOD, knowest thy servant.

²⁰In kaj more David še govoriti tebi? Saj poznaš hlapca svojega, o Gospod Jehova!

²¹For thy word's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all these great things, to make thy servant know them.

²¹Zaradi besede svoje in po srcu svojem si storil vso to velikost, oznanivši jo hlapcu svojemu.

²²Wherefore thou art great, O LORD God: for there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

²²Zategadelj si velik, o Jehova Bog! kajti ni ga tebi enakega, tudi ni Boga razen tebe, po vsem tem, kar smo slišali z ušesi svojimi.

²³And what one nation in the earth is like thy people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem for a people to himself, and to make him a name, and to do for you great things and terrible, for thy land, before thy people, which thou redeemedst to thee from Egypt, from the nations and their gods?

²³In je li en narod na zemlji podoben ljudstvu tvojemu, Izraelu, ki je zaradi njega šel Bog, da ga odkupi sebi v ljudstvo ter si napravi veliko ime in stori take velike in strašne reči zanj in za deželo svojo, vpričo ljudstva svojega, ki si ga sebi odkupil iz Egipta, izpod oblasti narodov in njih bogov?

²⁴For thou hast confirmed to thyself thy people Israel to be a people unto thee for ever: and thou, LORD, art become their God.

²⁴In pripravil si sebi ljudstvo svoje, Izraela, da ti bodi ljudstvo na veke, ti pa, Jehova, si postal njih Bog!

²⁵And now, O LORD God, the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, establish it for ever, and do as thou hast said.

²⁵Sedaj pa, o Jehova Bog, potrdi na vekomaj besedo, ki si jo govoril za hlapca svojega in za hišo njegovo, in stori, kakor si govoril.

²⁶And let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, The LORD of hosts is the God over Israel: and let the house of thy servant David be established before thee.

²⁶Da naj se poveličuje ime tvoje vekomaj in se govori: GOSPOD nad vojskami je Bog nad Izraelom. In hiša hlapca tvojega Davida bodi trdna pred teboj!

²⁷For thou, O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, hast revealed to thy servant, saying, I will build thee an house: therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer unto thee.

²⁷Zakaj ti, GOSPOD nad vojskami, Bog Izraelov, si razodel ušesu hlapca svojega, rekoč: Hišo ti hočem zgraditi. Zato se je hlapec tvoj osrčil, da moli to molitev tebi.

²⁸And now, O Lord GOD, thou art that God, and thy words be true, and thou hast promised this goodness unto thy servant:

²⁸In sedaj, o Gospod Jehova, ti si Bog, in besede tvoje so resnica, in ti si govoril hlapcu svojemu to predobro obljubo:sedaj torej rači blagosloviti hlapca svojega hišo, da ostane pred teboj vekomaj, zakaj ti, o Gospod Jehova, si to obljubil. Bodi torej z blagoslovom tvojim blagoslovljena tvojega hlapca hiša vekomaj!

²⁹Therefore now let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue for ever before thee: for thou, O Lord GOD, hast spoken it: and with thy blessing let the house of thy servant be blessed for ever.

²⁹sedaj torej rači blagosloviti hlapca svojega hišo, da ostane pred teboj vekomaj, zakaj ti, o Gospod Jehova, si to obljubil. Bodi torej z blagoslovom tvojim blagoslovljena tvojega hlapca hiša vekomaj!
