¹And Jehovah sent Nathan to David. And he came to him, and said to him, There were two men in one city; the one rich, and the other poor.

¹Preto poslal Hospodin Nátana k Dávidovi. A keď vošiel k nemu, povedal mu: Dvaja mužovia boli v jednom meste. Jeden bol bohatý a druhý chudobný.

²The rich had very many flocks and herds;

²Bohatý mal oviec a volov veľmi mnoho.

³but the poor man had nothing at all, but one little ewe lamb which he had bought, and was nourishing; and it grew up with him, and together with his children: it ate of his morsel, and drank of his own cup, and slept in his bosom, and was to him as a daughter.

³Chudobný nemal ničoho krome jednej malej ovečky, ktorú bol kúpil, a choval ju, a rástla pri ňom a pri jeho synoch, spolu. Jedla z jeho kusa chleba, pila z jeho pohára a líhala v jeho lone a bola mu jako dcéra.

⁴And there came a traveller to the rich man, and he spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd, to dress for the wayfaring man that had come to him; and he took the poor man's lamb, and dressed it for the man that had come to him.

⁴No, prišiel k bohatému človekovi nejaký pocestný. A pretože mu bolo ľúto vziať zo svojich oviec alebo zo svojich volov, aby pripravil pokrm cestujúcemu, ktorý prišiel k nemu, vzal ovečku chudobného človeka a pripravil ju mužovi, ktorý prišiel k nemu.

⁵Then David's anger was greatly kindled against the man; and he said to Nathan, As Jehovah liveth, the man that hath done this thing is worthy of death;

⁵Vtedy sa veľmi rozhneval Dávid na človeka a povedal Nátanovi: Jako že žije Hospodin, synom smrti je muž, ktorý to urobil!

⁶and he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity.

⁶A ovcu nahradí štvornásobne preto, že vykonal takú vec a pretože nemal ľútosti.

⁷And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man! Thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel: I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul;

⁷Na to riekol Nátan Dávidovi: Ty si ten muž! Takto hovorí Hospodin, Bôh Izraelov: Ja som ťa pomazal za kráľa nad Izraelom a ja som ťa vytrhol z ruky Saulovej.

⁸and 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] had been too little, I would moreover have given unto thee such and such things.

⁸A dal som ti dom tvojho pána i ženy tvojho pána do tvojho lona a dal som ti aj dom Izraelov aj Júdu, a keby to bolo bývalo málo, bol by som ti pridal to i to.

⁹Wherefore hast thou despised the word of Jehovah to do evil in his sight? thou hast smitten Urijah the Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.

⁹Prečo si tedy opovrhnul slovom Hospodinovým, aby si učinil to zlé v jeho očiach? Uriáša Hetejského si zabil mečom a jeho ženu si vzal sebe za ženu a jeho si zavraždil mečom synov Ammonových.

¹⁰Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thy house; because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Urijah the Hittite to be thy wife.

¹⁰Preto teraz neuhne meč z tvojho domu až na veky, pretože si mnou opovrhol a vzal si ženu Uriáša Hetejského, aby ti bola ženou.

¹¹Thus saith Jehovah: 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.

¹¹Takto hovorí Hospodin: Hľa, ja vzbudím proti tebe zlé z tvojho domu a vezmem tvoje ženy pred tvojimi očima a dám ich tvojmu blížnemu, a bude ležať s tvojimi ženami pred očima tohoto slnca.

¹²For thou didst [it] secretly; but I will do this thing before all Israel and before the sun.

¹²Lebo ty si to urobil tajne, ale ja učiním túto vec pred celým Izraelom a pred slncom.

¹³And David said to Nathan, I have sinned against Jehovah. And Nathan said to David, Jehovah has also put away thy sin: thou shalt not die.

¹³Vtedy povedal Dávid Nátanovi: Zhrešil som Hospodinovi. A Nátan riekol Dávidovi: Aj Hospodin preniesol tvoj hriech, nezomrieš.

¹⁴Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of Jehovah to blaspheme, even the child that is born to thee shall certainly die.

¹⁴Ale preto, že si dal tou vecou nepriateľom Hospodinovým príčinu, aby sa rúhali, preto i syn, ktorý sa ti narodil, istotne zomrie.

¹⁵And Nathan departed to his house. And Jehovah smote the child that Urijah's wife bore to David, and it became very sick.

¹⁵Potom odišiel Nátan do svojho domu. A Hospodin ranil dieťa, ktoré porodila žena Uriášova Dávidovi, takže ťažko onemocnelo.

¹⁶And David besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night on the earth.

¹⁶A Dávid hľadal Boha prosiac za chlapca a postil sa, vošiel a ležal cez noc na zemi.

¹⁷And the elders of his house arose, [and went] to him, to raise him up from the earth; but he would not, and he ate no bread with them.

¹⁷Potom prišli starší jeho domu a zastali nad ním, aby ho zodvihli so zeme, ale nechcel vstať ani nejedol s nimi chleba.

¹⁸And 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 to him, and he would not hearken to our voice; and how shall we say to him, The child is dead? he may do some harm.

¹⁸A stalo sa siedmeho dňa, že zomrelo dieťa. A služobníci Dávidovi sa báli oznámiť mu, že dieťa zomrelo, lebo vraveli: Hľa, keď vtedy, dokiaľ ešte žilo dieťa, keď sme mu hovorili, neposlúchol nášho hlasu, jakože mu máme povedať teraz, že zomrelo dieťa, aby vykonal voľačo zlé?

¹⁹But David saw that his servants whispered, and David perceived that the child was dead; and David said to his servants, Is the child dead? And they said, He is dead.

¹⁹Ale keď videl Dávid, že si jeho služobníci pošuškávajú čosi, porozumel, že zomrelo dieťa. A Dávid riekol svojim služobníkom: Či azda zomrelo dieťa? A povedali: Zomrelo.

²⁰Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his clothing, and entered into the house of Jehovah and worshipped; then he came to his own house and required them to set bread before him, and he ate.

²⁰Vtedy vstal Dávid so zeme a umyl sa a pomazal sa a premenil svoje rúcho a vojdúc do domu Hospodinovho klaňal sa. A keď potom zase vošiel do svojho domu, pýtal si jesť, a keď mu predložili chlieb, jedol.

²¹And his servants said to him, What thing is this which thou hast done? thou didst fast and weep for the child alive; but as soon as the child is dead, thou dost rise and eat bread.

²¹Vtedy mu povedali jeho služobníci: Jaká je to vec, ktorú si učinil? Pre dieťa, dokiaľ ešte žilo, si sa postil a plakal si, a teraz, keď zomrelo dieťa, si vstal a jedol si chlieb?

²²And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept; for I thought, Who knows? [perhaps] Jehovah will be gracious to me, that the child may live.

²²A riekol: Dokiaľ ešte žilo dieťa, postil som sa a plakal som, lebo som povedal: Kto vie? Možno, že sa Hospodin zmiluje nado mnou, a dieťa bude žiť.

²³But now he is dead, why should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he will not return to me.

²³Ale teraz, keď zomrelo, načo by som sa ešte postil? Či ho azda môžem ešte vrátiť? Ja pojdem za ním, ale ono sa nevráti ku mne.

²⁴And David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in to her and lay with her; and she bore a son, and he called his name Solomon; and Jehovah loved him.

²⁴Potom potešil Dávid Bat-šebu, svoju ženu, a vošiel k nej a ležal s ňou. A porodila mu syna, a nazval jeho meno Šalamún. A Hospodin ho miloval.

²⁵And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet; and he called his name Jedidiah, for Jehovah's sake.

²⁵A poslal slovo po prorokovi Nátanovi, ktorý nazval jeho meno Jedidja, pre Hospodina.

²⁶And Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city.

²⁶A Joáb bojoval proti Rabbe synov Ammonových a zaujal kráľovské mesto.

²⁷And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have fought against Rabbah, and have taken the city of waters.

²⁷Potom poslal Joáb poslov k Dávidovi a povedal: Bojoval som proti Rabbe aj som zaujal mesto vôd.

²⁸And now gather the rest of the people, and encamp against the city and take it: lest I take the city and it be called by my name.

²⁸Preto teraz sober ostatok ľudu a polož sa táborom proti mestu a zaujmi ho, aby som nezaujal mesta ja, a bolo by nad ním menované moje meno.

²⁹And David gathered all the people, and went to Rabbah, and fought against it and took it.

²⁹Vtedy sobral Dávid všetok ľud a odišiel do Rabby a bojoval proti nemu a zaujal ho.

³⁰And he took the crown of their king from off his head, the weight of which was a talent of gold with [the] precious stones; and it was [set] on David's head; and he brought forth the spoil of the city in great abundance.

³⁰A vzal korunu ich kráľa s jeho hlavy, ktorá vážila hrivnu zlata a mala vrubené drahé kamene, a bola položená na hlavu Dávidovi. A koristi toho mesta vyniesol veľmi mnoho.

³¹And he brought out the people that were in it, and put them under the saw, and under harrows of iron, and under axes of iron, and made them pass through the brickkilns. And so did he to all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.

³¹A ľud, ktorý bol v ňom, vyviedol a postavil ho do píly a ku strojom, režúcim železo, a k železným sekerám a dal ich zaviesť do tehelní. A tak učinil všetkým mestám synov Ammonových. Potom sa navrátil Dávid i všetok ľud do Jeruzalema.
