Jeremiah 38
1 Then Shephatiah the sonne of Mattan, and Gedaliah the sonne of Pashur, and Iucal the sonne of Shelemiah, and Pashur the sonne of Malchiah, heard the wordes that Ieremiah had spoken vnto all the people, saying,
Potem so Matánov sin Šefatjá, Pašhúrjev sin Gedaljá, Šelemjájev sin Juhál in Malkijájajev sin Pašhúr slišali besede, ki jih je Jeremija govoril vsemu ljudstvu, rekoč:
2 Thus sayth the Lord, He that remaineth in this citie, shall dye by the sworde, by the famine and by the pestilence: but hee that goeth foorth to the Caldeans, shall liue: for he shall haue his life for a praye, and shall liue.
»Tako govori Gospod: ›Kdor preostaja v tem mestu, bo umrl pod mečem, z lakoto in s kužno boleznijo, toda kdor gre naprej h Kaldejcem, bo živel, kajti svoje življenje bo imel za plen in bo živel.‹
3 Thus sayth the Lord, This citie shall surely be giuen into the hand of the King of Babels armie, which shall take it.
Tako govori Gospod: ›To mesto bo zagotovo izročeno v roko kralja babilonske vojske, ki ga bo zavzel.‹«
4 Therefore the Princes sayd vnto the King, We beseech you, let this man be put to death: for thus hee weakeneth the hands of the men of warre that remaine in this citie, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such wordes vnto them: for this man seeketh not the wealth of this people, but the hurt.
Zato so princi rekli kralju: »Rotimo te, naj bo ta človek usmrčen, kajti on tako slabi roke bojevnikov, ki preostajajo v tem mestu in roke vsega ljudstva, ko jim govori takšne besede, kajti ta človek ne išče blaginje tega ljudstva, temveč škodo.«
5 Then Zedekiah the King sayd, Behold, he is in your hands, for ye King can denie you nothing.
Potem je kralj Sedekíja rekel: »Glejte, v vaši roki je, kajti kralj ni tisti, ki lahko stori kakršnokoli stvar zoper vas.«
6 Then tooke they Ieremiah, and cast him into the dungeon of Malchiah the sonne of Hammelech, that was in the court of the prison: and they let downe Ieremiah with coards: and in the dungeon there was no water but myre: so Ieremiah stacke fast in the myre.
Potem so prijeli Jeremija in ga vrgli v odprtino jame Malkijája, sina Hameleha, ki je bila na dvorišču ječe in Jeremija so spustili dol z vrvmi. Tam v jami pa ni bilo vode, ampak blato. Tako se je Jeremija pogreznil v blato.
7 Now when Ebed-melech ye blacke More one of ye Eunuches, which was in the kings house, heard that they had put Ieremiah in the dungeon (then the King sate in the gate of Beniamin)
Torej ko je Ebed Meleh, Etiopijec, eden izmed evnuhov, ki je bil v kraljevi hiši, slišal, da so Jeremija vtaknili v jamo; kralj je takrat sedel v Benjaminovih velikih vratih;
8 And Ebed-melech went out of the Kings house, and spake to the King, saying,
je Ebed Meleh odšel naprej iz kraljeve hiše in kralju spregovoril, rekoč:
9 My lorde the King, these men haue done euill in all that they haue done to Ieremiah the Prophet, whom they haue cast into the dungeon, and he dyeth for hunger in the place where he is: for there is no more bread in the citie.
»Moj gospod kralj, ti možje so storili zlo v vsem, kar so storili preroku Jeremiju, ki so ga vrgli v jamo, in verjetno bo umrl zaradi lakote na kraju, kjer je, kajti v mestu ni več kruha.«
10 Then the King commanded Ebed-melech the blacke More, saying, Take from hence thirtie men with thee, and take Ieremiah the Prophet out of the dungeon before he dye.
Potem je kralj ukazal Etiopijcu Ebed Melehu, rekoč: »Vzemi od tod trideset mož s seboj in dvigni preroka Jeremija iz jame, preden umre.«
11 So Ebed-melech tooke the men with him and went to the house of the King vnder the treasurie, and tooke there olde rotten ragges, and olde worne cloutes, and let them downe by coards into the dungeon to Ieremiah.
Tako je Ebed Meleh s seboj vzel može in odšel v kraljevo hišo pod zakladnico in od tam vzel stara zakrpana oblačila in stare cunje ter jih z vrvmi spustil dol v jamo k Jeremiju.
12 And Ebed-melech the blacke More sayde vnto Ieremiah, Put now these olde rotten ragges and worne, vnder thine arme holes, betweene the coards. And Ieremiah did so.
Etiopijec Ebed Meleh je rekel Jeremiju: »Deni si ta stara zakrpana oblačila in stare cunje pod svoja ramena pod vrvi.« Jeremija je tako storil.
13 So they drewe vp Ieremiah with coards and tooke him vp out of the dungeon, and Ieremiah remained in the court of the prison.
Tako so Jeremija potegnili gor z vrvmi in ga vzeli iz jame in Jeremija je ostal na dvorišču ječe.
14 Then Zedekiah the King sent, and tooke Ieremiah the Prophet vnto him, into the thirde entrie that is in the House of the Lord, and the King sayd vnto Ieremiah, I wil aske thee a thing: hide nothing from me.
Potem je kralj Sedekíja poslal in vzel preroka Jeremija k sebi v tretji vhod, ki je v Gospodovi hiši. Kralj je rekel Jeremiju: »Vprašal te bom stvar, ničesar ne prikrij pred menoj.«
15 Then Ieremiah sayd to Zedekiah, If I declare it vnto thee, wilt not thou slay me? and if I giue thee counsell, thou wilt not heare me.
Potem je Jeremija rekel Sedekíju: »Če ti to razglasim, mar me ne boš zagotovo usmrtil? In če ti dam nasvet, mar mi boš prisluhnil?«
16 So the King sware secretly vnto Ieremiah, saying, As the Lord liueth that made vs these soules, I will not slay thee, nor giue thee into the hands of those men that seeke thy life.
Tako je kralj Sedekíja na skrivnem prisegel Jeremiju, rekoč: » Kakor živi Gospod, ki nam je naredil to dušo, te ne bom usmrtil niti te ne bom dal v roko teh mož, ki ti strežejo po življenju.«
17 Then sayd Ieremiah vnto Zedekiah, Thus sayth the Lord God of hostes, the God of Israel, If thou wilt goe foorth vnto the King of Babels princes, then thy soule shall liue, and this citie shall not be burnt vp with fire, and thou shalt liue, and thine house.
Potem je Jeremija rekel Sedekíju: »Tako govori Gospod, Bog nad bojevniki, Izraelov Bog: ›Če boš zagotovo šel naprej k princem babilonskega kralja, potem bo tvoja duša živela in to mesto ne bo sežgano z ognjem in živel boš ti in tvoja hiša,
18 But if thou wilt not go forth to the King of Babels princes, then shall this citie be giuen into the hand of ye Caldeans, and they shall burne it with fire, and thou shalt not escape out of their hands.
toda če ne boš šel naprej k princem babilonskega kralja, potem bo to mesto dano v roke Kaldejcem in požgali ga bodo z ognjem in ne boš pobegnil iz njihove roke.«
19 And Zedekiah the King sayde vnto Ieremiah, I am carefull for the Iewes that are fled vnto the Caldeans, least they deliuer mee into their hands, and they mocke me.
Kralj Sedekíja pa je rekel Jeremiju: »Bojim se Judov, ki so prebegnili h Kaldejcem, da me ne bi izročili v njihovo roko in bi se mi posmehovali.«
20 But Ieremiah sayd, They shall not deliuer thee: hearken vnto the voyce of the Lord, I beseech thee, which I speake vnto thee: so shall it be well vnto thee, and thy soule shall liue.
Toda Jeremija je rekel: »Ne bodo te izročili. Ubogaj, rotim te, glas Gospoda, ki ti ga govorim. Tako bo dobro s teboj in tvoja duša bo živela.
21 But if thou wilt refuse to go forth, this is the worde that the Lord hath shewed me.
Toda če zavrneš iti naprej, je to beseda, ki mi jo je pokazal Gospod:
22 And beholde, all the women that are left in the King of Iudahs house, shalbe brought forth to the King of Babels princes: and those women shall say, Thy friends haue perswaded thee, and haue preuailed against thee: thy feete are fastened in the myre, and they are turned backe.
›Glej, vse ženske, ki so preostale v hiši Judovega kralja, bodo privedene k princem babilonskega kralja in te ženske bode rekle: ›Tvoji prijatelji so te zavedli in prevladali zoper tebe. Tvoja stopala so pogreznjena v blato in oni so se umaknili nazaj.‹
23 So they shall bring out all thy wiues, and thy children to the Caldeans, and thou shalt not escape out of their hands, but shalt be taken by the hand of the King of Babel: and this citie shalt thou cause to be burnt with fire.
Tako bodo privedli ven vse tvoje žene in tvoje otroke h Kaldejcem in ne boš ušel iz njihove roke, temveč boš zajet z roko babilonskega kralja in povzročil boš, da bo to mesto sežgano z ognjem.‹«
24 Then said Zedekiah vnto Ieremiah, Let no man know of these words, and thou shalt not die.
Potem je Sedekíja rekel Jeremiju: »Naj noben človek ne izve o teh besedah in ne boš umrl.
25 But if ye princes vnderstand that I haue talked with thee, and they come vnto thee, and say vnto thee, Declare vnto vs nowe, what thou hast sayde vnto the King, hide it not from vs, and we will not slay thee: also what the King sayd vnto thee,
Toda če princi slišijo, da sem govoril s teboj in pridejo k tebi in ti rečejo: ›Razglasi nam sedaj, kaj si rekel kralju, ne skrivaj tega pred nami in ne bomo te usmrtili; in tudi kaj je kralj rekel tebi.‹
26 Then shalt thou say vnto them, I humbly besought the King that he would not cause me to returne to Iehonathans house, to die there.
Potem jim boš rekel: ›Svojo ponižno prošnjo sem predstavil pred kraljem, da mi ne bi povzročil, da se vrnem v Jonatanovo hišo, da bi tam umrl.‹
27 Then came all the princes vnto Ieremiah and asked him. And he tolde them according to all these wordes that the King had commanded: so they left off speaking with him, for the matter was not perceiued.
Potem so prišli vsi princi k Jeremiju in ga vprašali in ta jim je povedal glede na vse te besede, ki jih je kralj zapovedal. Tako so prenehali govoriti z njim, kajti zadeva ni bila zaznana.
28 So Ieremiah abode still in the court of the prison, vntill the day that Ierusalem was taken: and he was there, when Ierusalem was taken.
Tako je Jeremija prebival na dvorišču ječe do dne, ko je bil Jeruzalem zavzet. Bil je tam, ko je bil Jeruzalem zavzet.
