1 I posla Gospod Natana k Davidu; i on došav k njemu reče mu: U jednom gradu behu dva čoveka, jedan bogat a drugi siromah.
1 Yahweh sent Nathan to David. He came to him, and said to him, “There were two men in one city: the one rich, and the other poor.
2 Bogati imaše ovaca i goveda vrlo mnogo;
2 The rich man had very many flocks and herds,
3 a siromah nemaše ništa do jednu malu ovčicu, koju beše kupio, i hranjaše je, te odraste uza nj i uz decu njegovu, i jeđaše od njegovog zalogaja, i iz njegove čaše pijaše, i na krilu mu spavaše, i beše mu kao kći.
3 but the poor man had nothing, except one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and raised. It grew up together with him and with his children. It ate of his own food, drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was like a daughter to him.
4 A dođe putnik k bogatom čoveku, a njemu bi žao uzeti iz svojih ovaca ili goveda da zgotovi putniku koji dođe k njemu; nego uze ovcu onog siromaha, i zgotovi je čoveku, koji dođe k njemu.
4 A traveler came to the rich man, and he didn’t want to take of his own flock and of his own herd to prepare for the wayfaring man who had come to him, but took the poor man’s lamb and prepared it for the man who had come to him.”
5 Tada se David vrlo razgnevi na onog čoveka, i reče Natanu: Tako živ bio Gospod, zaslužio je smrt onaj koji je to učinio.
5 David’s anger burned hot against the man, and he said to Nathan, “As Yahweh lives, the man who has done this deserves to die!
6 I ovcu neka plati učetvoro, što je to učinio i nije mu žao bilo.
6 He must restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing and because he had no pity!”
7 Tada reče Natan Davidu: Ti si taj. Ovako veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev: Ja sam te pomazao za cara nad Izrailjem, i ja sam te izbavio iz ruku Saulovih.
7 Nathan said to David, “You are the man! This is what Yahweh, the God of Israel, says: ‘I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you out of the hand of Saul.
8 I dao sam ti dom gospodara tvog, i žene gospodara tvog na krilo tvoje, dao sam ti dom Izrailjev i Judin; i ako je malo dodao bih ti to i to.
8 I gave you your master’s house and your master’s wives into your bosom, and gave you the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that would have been too little, I would have added to you many more such things.
9 Zašto si prezreo reč Gospodnju čineći šta Njemu nije po volji? Uriju Hetejina ubio si mačem i uzeo si ženu njegovu sebi za ženu, a njega si ubio mačem sinova Amonovih.
9 Why have you despised Yahweh’s word, to do that which is evil in his sight? You have struck Uriah the Hittite with the sword, have taken his wife to be your wife, and have slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.
10 Zato neće se odmaći mač od doma tvog doveka, što si me prezreo i uzeo ženu Urije Hetejina da ti bude žena.
10 Now therefore the sword will never depart from your house, because you have despised me and have taken Uriah the Hittite’s wife to be your wife.’
11 Ovako veli Gospod: Evo, ja ću podignuti na te zlo iz doma tvog, i uzeću žene tvoje na tvoje oči, i daću ih bližnjemu tvom, te će spavati sa ženama tvojim na vidiku svakome.
11 “This is what Yahweh says: ‘Behold, I will raise up evil against you out of your own house; and I will take your wives before your eyes and give them to your neighbor, and he will lie with your wives in the sight of this sun.
12 Jer ti si učinio tajno, ali ću ja ovo učiniti pred svim Izrailjem i svakom na vidiku.
12 For you did this secretly, but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.’”
13 Tada reče David Natanu: Sagreših Gospodu. A Natan reče Davidu: i Gospod je proneo greh tvoj; nećeš umreti.
13 David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against Yahweh.” Nathan said to David, “Yahweh also has put away your sin. You will not die.
14 Ali što si tim delom dao priliku neprijateljima Gospodnjim da hule, zato će ti umreti sin koji ti se rodio.
14 However, because by this deed you have given great occasion to Yahweh’s enemies to blaspheme, the child also who is born to you will surely die.”
15 Potom Natan otide svojoj kući. A Gospod udari dete koje rodi žena Urijina Davidu, te se razbole na smrt.
15 Then Nathan departed to his house. Yahweh struck the child that Uriah’s wife bore to David, and he was very sick.
16 I David se moljaše Bogu za dete, i pošćaše se David, i došavši ležaše preko noći na zemlji.
16 David therefore begged God for the child; and David fasted, and went in and lay all night on the ground.
17 I starešine doma njegovog ustaše oko njega da ga podignu sa zemlje, ali on ne hte, niti jede šta s njima.
17 The elders of his house arose beside him, to raise him up from the earth; but he would not, and he didn’t eat bread with them.
18 A kad bi sedmi dan, umre dete; i ne smehu sluge Davidove javiti mu da je dete umrlo, jer govorahu: Evo, dok dete beše živo, govorasmo mu, pa nas ne hte poslušati; a kako ćemo mu kazati: Umrlo je dete? Hoće ga ucveliti.
18 On the seventh day, the child died. David’s servants were afraid to tell him that the child was dead, for they said, “Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spoke to him and he didn’t listen to our voice. How will he then harm himself if we tell him that the child is dead?”
19 A David videći gde sluge njegove šapću među sobom, doseti se da je umrlo dete; i reče David slugama svojim: Je li umrlo dete? A oni rekoše: Umrlo je.
19 But when David saw that his servants were whispering together, David perceived that the child was dead; and David said to his servants, “Is the child dead?” They said, “He is dead.”
20 Tada David usta sa zemlje, i umi se, i namaza se i preobuče se; i otide u dom Gospodnji, i pokloni se. Potom opet dođe kući svojoj, i zaiska da mu donesu da jede; i jede.
20 Then David arose from the earth, and washed and anointed himself, and changed his clothing; and he came into Yahweh’s house, and worshiped. Then he came to his own house; and when he requested, they set bread before him and he ate.
21 A sluge njegove rekoše mu: Šta to radiš? Dok beše dete živo, postio si i plakao; a kad umre dete, ustao si i jedeš.
21 Then his servants said to him, “What is this that you have done? You fasted and wept for the child while he was alive, but when the child was dead, you rose up and ate bread.”
22 A on reče: Dok dete beše živo, postio sam i plakao, jer govorah: ko zna, može se smilovati Gospod na me da dete ostane živo.
22 He said, “While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept; for I said, ‘Who knows whether Yahweh will not be gracious to me, that the child may live?’
23 A sad umrlo je; što bih postio? Mogu li ga povratiti? Ja ću otići k njemu, ali on neće se vratiti k meni.
23 But now he is dead. Why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I will go to him, but he will not return to me.”
24 Potom David uteši Vitsaveju ženu svoju, i otide k njoj, i leže s njom. I ona rodi sina, kome nade ime Solomun. I mio beše Gospodu.
24 David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in to her, and lay with her. She bore a son, and he called his name Solomon. Yahweh loved him;
25 I posla Natana proroka, te mu nade ime Jedidija, radi Gospoda.
25 and he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet, and he named him Jedidiah, for Yahweh’s sake.
26 A Joav bijući Ravu sinova Amonovih, uze carski grad.
26 Now Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city.
27 I posla poslanike k Davidu, i reče: Bih Ravu, i uzeh grad na vodi.
27 Joab sent messengers to David, and said, “I have fought against Rabbah. Yes, I have taken the city of waters.
28 Nego sada skupi ostali narod, i stani u logor prema gradu, i uzmi ga, da ga ne bih ja uzeo i moje se ime spominjalo na njemu.
28 Now therefore gather the rest of the people together, and encamp against the city and take it; lest I take the city, and it be called by my name.”
29 I David skupivši sav narod otide na Ravu, i udari na nju, i uze je.
29 David gathered all the people together and went to Rabbah, and fought against it and took it.
30 I uze caru njihovom s glave krunu, u kojoj beše talanat zlata, s dragim kamenjem, i metnuše je na glavu Davidu, i odnese iz grada plen vrlo velik.
30 He took the crown of their king from off his head; and its weight was a talent of gold, and in it were precious stones; and it was set on David’s head. He brought a great quantity of plunder out of the city.
31 A narod koji beše u njemu izvede i metnu ih pod pile i pod brane gvozdene i pod sekire gvozdene, i sagna ih u peći gde se opeke peku. I tako učini svim gradovima sinova Amonovih. Potom se vrati David sa svim narodom u Jerusalim.
31 He brought out the people who were in it, and put them to work under saws, under iron picks, under axes of iron, and made them go to the brick kiln; and he did so to all the cities of the children of Ammon. Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
And David's anger being kindled against the man, he commanded that he should be put to death, and the lamb restored fourfold to the poor man; thus unwittingly condemning the sin he had wittingly committed. And when he had been shown this, and God's punishment had been denounced against him, he wiped out his sin in deep penitence.
