¹It happened, when the king lived in his house, and Yahweh had given him rest from all his enemies all around,

¹Kad se David nastanio u svojem dvoru i kad mu je Jahve pribavio mir od svih njegovih neprijatelja unaokolo,

²that the king said to Nathan the prophet, “See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of God dwells within curtains.”

²reče kralj proroku Natanu: "Pogledaj! Ja, evo, stojim u dvoru od cedrovine, a Kovčeg Božji stoji pod šatorom."

³Nathan said to the king, “Go, do all that is in your heart; for Yahweh is with you.”

³A Natan odgovori kralju: "Idi i čini sve što ti je na srcu jer je Jahve s tobom."

⁴It happened the same night, that the word of Yahweh came to Nathan, saying,

⁴Ali još iste noći dođe Natanu ova Jahvina riječ:

⁵“Go and tell my servant David, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “Shall you build me a house for me to dwell in?

⁵"Idi i reci mome sluzi Davidu: Ovako govori Jahve: 'Zar ćeš mi ti sagraditi kuću da u njoj prebivam?

⁶For I have not lived in a house since the day that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have moved around in a tent and in a tabernacle.

⁶Nisam nikad prebivao u kući otkako sam izveo iz Egipta sinove Izraelove pa do današnjega dana, nego sam bio lutalac pod šatorom i u prebivalištu.

⁷In all places in which I have walked with all the children of Israel, did I say a word to any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to be shepherd of my people Israel, saying, ‘Why have you not built me a house of cedar?’”’

⁷Dok 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?'

⁸Now therefore you shall tell my servant David this, ‘Thus says Yahweh of Armies, “I took you from the sheep pen, from following the sheep, that you should be prince over my people, over Israel.

⁸Zato 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.

⁹I have been with you wherever you went, and have cut off all your enemies from before you. I will make you a great name, like the name of the great ones who are in the earth.

⁹Bio 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.

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

¹⁰Odredit 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,

¹¹and as from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. I will cause you to rest from all your enemies. Moreover Yahweh tells you that Yahweh will make you a house.

¹¹onda 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.

¹²When your days are fulfilled, and you shall sleep with your fathers, I will set up your seed after you, who shall proceed out of your bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.

¹²I 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.

¹³He shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.

¹³On će sagraditi dom imenu mojem, a ja ću utvrditi njegovo prijestolje zauvijek.

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

¹⁴Ja 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.

¹⁵but my loving kindness shall not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before you.

¹⁵Ali svoje naklonosti neću odvratiti od njega, kao što sam je odvratio od Šaula koga sam uklonio ispred tebe.

¹⁶Your house and your kingdom shall be made sure forever before you. Your throne shall be established forever.”’”

¹⁶Tvoja će kuća i tvoje kraljevstvo trajati dovijeka preda mnom, tvoje će prijestolje čvrsto stajati zasvagda.'"

¹⁷According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.

¹⁷Natan prenese Davidu sve te riječi i cijelo viđenje.

¹⁸Then David the king went in, and sat before Yahweh; and he said, “Who am I, Lord The word translated “Lord” is “Adonai.” Yahweh, and what is my house, that you have brought me thus far?

¹⁸Nato 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?

¹⁹This was yet a small thing in your eyes, Lord Yahweh; but you have spoken also of your servant’s house for a great while to come; and this after the way of men, Lord Yahweh!

¹⁹Pa 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!

²⁰What more can David say to you? For you know your servant, Lord Yahweh.

²⁰Ali što bi ti David još mogao kazati, kad ti sam poznaješ svoga slugu, Gospode Jahve!

²¹For your word’s sake, and according to your own heart, you have worked all this greatness, to make your servant know it.

²¹Radi svoje riječi i po svome srcu učinio si sve ovo veliko djelo, obznanivši ove veličajnosti.

²²Therefore you are great, Yahweh God. For there is none like you, neither is there any God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

²²Zato si velik, Gospode Jahve; nema takvoga kakav si ti i nema Boga osim tebe, po svemu što smo ušima svojim čuli.

²³What one nation in the earth is like your people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem to himself for a people, and to make himself a name, and to do great things for you, and awesome things for your land, before your people, whom you redeem to yourself out of Egypt, from the nations and their gods?

²³Postoji 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?

²⁴You established for yourself your people Israel to be a people to you forever; and you, Yahweh, became their God.

²⁴Tako si učinio svoj izraelski narod svojim narodom zauvijek, a ti si mu, Jahve, postao Bogom.

²⁵Now, Yahweh God, the word that you have spoken concerning your servant, and concerning his house, confirm it forever, and do as you have spoken.

²⁵Zato sada, Gospode Jahve, ispuni zauvijek obećanje koje si dao svome sluzi i njegovu domu i učini kako si obrekao.

²⁶Let your name be magnified forever, saying, ‘Yahweh of Armies is God over Israel; and the house of your servant David shall be established before you.’

²⁶Neka 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.

²⁷For you, Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, have revealed to your servant, saying, ‘I will build you a house.’ Therefore your servant has found in his heart to pray this prayer to you.

²⁷Jer 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.

²⁸“Now, O Lord Yahweh, you are God, and your words are truth, and you have promised this good thing to your servant.

²⁸Uistinu, Gospode Jahve, ti si Bog, tvoje su riječi istinite i ti daješ ovo lijepo obećanje svome sluzi.

²⁹Now therefore let it please you to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever before you; for you, Lord Yahweh, have spoken it. Let the house of your servant be blessed forever with your blessing.”

²⁹Udostoj 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."
