Ezra 9
1 And when these things were finished, the princes drew near to me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the people of the lands in their abominations, [even] the Chananite, the Ethite, the Pherezite, the Jebusite, the Ammonite, the Moabite, and the Moserite and the Amorite.
Torej ko so bile te stvari narejene, so prišli k meni princi, rekoč: »Izraelsko ljudstvo, duhovniki in Lévijevci se [še] niso oddvojili od ljudstva dežel. Počnejo glede na njihove ogabnosti, celó [ogabnosti] Kánaancev, Hetejcev, Perizéjcev, Jebusejcev, Amóncev, Moábcev, Egipčanov in Amoréjcev.
2 For they have taken of their daughters for themselves and their sons; and the holy seed has passed amongst the nations of the lands, and the hand of the rulers [has been] first in this transgression.
Kajti vzeli so izmed njihovih hčera zase in za svoje sinove, tako da se je sveto seme pomešalo z ljudstvom teh dežel. Da, roka princev in vladarjev je bila vodilna v tem prekršku.«
3 And when I heard this thing, I tore my garments, and trembled, and plucked [some] of the hairs of my head and of my beard, and sat down mourning.
Ko sem slišal to stvar, sem pretrgal svoje ogrinjalo in svoj plašč in si pulil lase svoje glave in iz svoje brade ter se osupel usedel.
4 Then there assembled to me all that followed the word of the God of Israel, on account of the transgression of the captivity; and I remained mourning until the evening sacrifice.
Potem so bili zbrani k meni vsi, ki so trepetali ob besedah Izraelovega Boga zaradi prestopka tistih, ki so bili odvedeni proč; in osupel sem sedel do večerne daritve.
5 And at the evening sacrifice I rose up from my humiliation; and when I had tore my garments, then I trembled, and I bow myself on my knees, and spread out my hands to the Lord God,
Ob večerni daritvi pa sem se dvignil od svoje potrtosti in s svojo pretrgano obleko in ogrinjalom padel na svoja kolena in razprostrl svoje roke h Gospodu, svojemu Bogu
6 and I said, O Lord, I am ashamed and confounded, O my God, to lift up my face to you: for our transgressions have abounded over our head, and our trespasses have increased even to heaven.
in rekel: »Oh moj Bog, osramočen sem in zardevam, da bi dvignil svoj obraz k tebi, moj Bog. Kajti naše krivičnosti so narasle nad našo glavo in naš prestopek je zrasel do nebes.
7 From the days of our fathers we have been in a great trespass until this day: and because of our iniquities we, and our kings, and our children, have been delivered into the hand of the kings of the Gentiles by the sword, and by captivity, and by spoil, and with shame of our face, as at this day.
Od dni svojih očetov smo bili v velikem prekršku do tega dne in zaradi svojih krivičnosti smo bili mi, naši kralji in naši duhovniki izročeni v roko kraljev dežel, meču, ujetništvu, plenu in zmedenosti obraza, kakor je to ta dan.
8 And now our God has dealt mercifully with us, so as to leave us to escape, and to give us an establishment in the place of his sanctuary, to enlighten our eyes, and to give a little quickening in our servitude.
Sedaj je bila za kratek čas milost pokazana od Gospoda, svojega Boga, da nam pusti ostanek, da pobegne in da nam da klin na njegovem svetem prostoru, da nam naš Bog lahko razsvetli naše oči in nam da majhno poživitev v naše suženjstvo.
9 For we are slaves, yet in our servitude the Lord our God has not deserted us; and he has extended favour to us in the sight of the kings of the Persians, to give us a quickening, that they should raise up the house of our God, and restore the desolate places of it, and to give us a fence in Juda and Jerusalem.
Kajti bili smo sužnji, vendar nas Bog v našem suženjstvu ni zapustil, temveč je k nam razširil usmiljenje v očeh perzijskih kraljev, da nam da poživitev, da postavimo hišo našega Boga, da popravimo njena opustošenja in da nam da zid v Judu in v Jeruzalemu.
10 What shall we say, our God, after this? for we have forsaken your commandments,
In sedaj, oh naš Bog, kaj bomo rekli po tem? Kajti zapustili smo tvoje zapovedi,
11 which you have given us by the hand of your servants the prophets, saying, The land, into which you go to inherit it, is a land subject to disturbance by the removal of the people of the nations for their abominations, wherewith they have filled it from one end to the other by their uncleanness.
ki si nam jih zapovedal po svojih služabnikih prerokih, rekoč: ›Dežela, v katero greste, da jo posedete, je nečista dežela z nečistostjo ljudstva dežel, z njihovimi ogabnostmi, ki so jih napolnili od enega konca do drugega s svojo nečistostjo.
12 And now give not your daughters to their sons, and take not of their daughters for your sons, neither shall you seek their peace or their good for ever: that you may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and transmit it as an inheritance to your children for ever.
Zdaj torej ne dajajte svojih hčera njihovim sinovom niti ne jemljite njihovih hčera [za] svoje sinove niti ne iščite njihovega miru ali njihovega premoženja na veke, da boste lahko močni in jedli dobro od dežele in jo zapustili v dediščino svojim otrokom na veke.‹
13 And after all that is come upon us because of our evil deeds, and our great trespass, [it is clear] that there is none such as our God, for you has lightly visited our iniquities, and given us deliverance;
Po vsem tem, kar je prišlo nad nas zaradi naših zlih dejanj in zaradi našega velikega prekrška, glede na to, da nas je naš Bog manj kaznoval, kakor zaslužijo naše krivičnosti in nam dal takšno osvoboditev, kakor je ta,
14 whereas we have repeatedly broken your commandments, and intermarried with the people of the lands: be not very angry with us to [our] utter destruction, so that there should be no remnant or escaping one.
ali naj bi ponovno prelomili tvoje zapovedi in se pridružili v sorodstvo z ljudstvom teh ogabnosti? Mar ne boš jezen na nas, dokler nas ne použiješ, tako da tukaj ne bi bilo ne ostanka niti pobeglih?
15 O Lord God of Israel, you [are] righteous; for we remain [yet] escaped, as at this day: behold, we [are] before you in our trespasses: for we can’t stand before you on this account.
Oh Gospod, Izraelov Bog, ti si pravičen, kajti mi ostajamo, čeprav pobegli, kakor je to ta dan. Glej, mi smo pred teboj v svojih prestopkih, kajti zaradi tega ne moremo stati pred teboj.«
