Jeremiah 40
1 The worde which came to Ieremiah from the Lord after that Nebuzar-adan the chiefe stewarde had let him goe from Ramath, when hee had taken him being bound in chaines among all that were caried away captiue of Ierusalem and Iudah, which were caried away captiue vnto Babel.
Beseda, ki je prišla Jeremiju od Gospoda, potem ko ga je Nebuzaradán, poveljnik straže, pustil oditi iz Rame, ko ga je vzel zvezanega z verigami, izmed vseh tistih, ki so bili odvedeni ujeti iz Jeruzalema in Juda v Babilon.
2 And the chiefe stewarde tooke Ieremiah, and said vnto him, The Lord thy God hath pronounced this plague vpon this place.
Poveljnik straže je vzel Jeremija in mu rekel: » Gospod, tvoj Bog, je proglasil to zlo nad tem krajem.
3 Nowe the Lord hath brought it, and done according as he hath said: because ye haue sinned against the Lord, and haue not obeyed his voyce, therefore this thing is come vpon you.
Torej Gospod je to privedel in storil glede na to, kakor je rekel, ker ste grešili zoper Gospoda in niste ubogali njegovega glasu, zato je nad vas prišla ta stvar.
4 And nowe beholde, I loose thee this day from the chaines which were on thine handes, if it please thee to come with me into Babel, come, and I will looke well vnto thee: but if it please thee not to come with mee into Babel, tarie still: beholde, all the lande is before thee: whither it seemeth good, and conuenient for thee to goe, thither goe.
Sedaj glej, danes sem ti razvezal verige, ki so bile na tvoji roki. Če se ti zdi dobro, da prideš z menoj v Babilon, dopusti, in jaz bom naklonjeno gledal nate. Toda če se ti zdi slabo, da prideš z menoj v Babilon, se ogni. Glej, vsa dežela je pred teboj. Kamor se ti zdi dobro in primerno zate, da greš, tja pojdi.«
5 For yet he was not returned: therefore he said, Returne to Gedaliah the sonne of Ahikam, the sonne of Shaphan, whom the King of Babel hath made gouernour ouer all the cities of Iudah, and dwell with him among the people, or goe wheresoeuer it pleaseth thee to goe. So the chiefe stewarde gaue him vitailes and a rewarde, and let him goe.
Torej, medtem ko še ni odšel nazaj, je rekel: »Prav tako pojdi nazaj h Gedaljáju, Ahikámovemu sinu, Šafánovemu sinu, ki ga je babilonski kralj naredil voditelja nad Judovimi mesti in prebivaj z njim med ljudstvom, ali pa pojdi kamorkoli se ti zdi primerno, da greš.« Tako mu je poveljnik straže izročil živež in nagrado ter ga pustil oditi.
6 Then went Ieremiah vnto Gedaliah the sonne of Ahikam, to Mizpah, and dwelt there with him among the people that were left in the lande.
Potem je Jeremija odšel k Ahikámovemu sinu Gedaljáju v Micpo, in prebival z njim med ljudstvom, ki je ostalo v deželi.
7 Nowe when all the captaines of the hoste, which were in the fieldes, euen they and their men heard, that the King of Babel had made Gedaliah the sonne of Ahikam gouernour in the land, and that he had committed vnto him, men, and women, and children, and of the poore of the lande, that were not caried away captiue to Babel,
Torej, ko so vsi poveljniki sil, ki so bile na poljih, torej oni in njihovi možje, slišali, da je babilonski kralj postavil Gedaljájevega sina Ahikáma za voditelja v deželi in mu izročil može, ženske, otroke in od revnih iz dežele, izmed teh, ki niso bili odvedeni v ujetništvo v Babilon,
8 Then they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, euen Ishmael the sonne of Nethaniah, and Iohanan, and Ionathan the sonnes of Kareah, and Seraiah the sonne of Tanehumeth, and the sonnes of Ephai, the Netophathite, and Iezaniah the sonne of Maachathi, they and their men.
potem so prišli h Gedaljáju v Micpo, celo Netanjájev sin Jišmaél, Johanán in Jonatan, Karéahova sinova in Tanhúmetov sin Serajá in sinovi Efája Netófčana in Jaazanjá, sin Maahčána, oni in njihovi možje.
9 And Gedaliah the sonne of Ahikam, the sonne of Shaphan sware vnto them, and to their men, saying, Feare not to serue the Caldeans: dwell in the lande, and serue the King of Babel, and it shall be well with you.
Gedaljá, sin Ahikáma, Šafánov sin, je prisegel njim in njihovim možem, rekoč: »Ne bojte se služiti Kaldejcem. Prebivajte v deželi in služite babilonskemu kralju in bo dobro z vami.
10 As for me, Beholde, I will dwell at Mizpah to serue the Caldeans, which will come vnto vs: but you, gather you wine, and sommer fruites, and oyle, and put them in your vessels, and dwell in your cities, that ye haue taken.
Kar se mene tiče, glejte, prebival bom v Micpi, da služim Kaldejcem, ki bodo prišli k nam, toda vi zbirajte vino, poletno sadje in olje ter jih dajajte v svoje posode in prebivajte v svojih mestih, ki ste jih vzeli.«
11 Likewise when all the Iewes that were in Moab, and among the Ammonites, and in Edom, and that were in all the countries, heard that the King of Babel had left a remnant of Iudah, and that he had set ouer them Gedaliah the sonne of Ahikam the sonne of Shaphan,
Podobno, ko so vsi Judje, ki so bili v Moábu in med Amónci in v Edómu in ki so bili v vseh deželah, slišali, da je babilonski kralj pustil Judu ostanek in da je nad njimi postavil Gedaljája, sina Ahikáma, sina Šafána;
12 Euen all the Iewes returned out of all places where they were driuen, and came to the land of Iudah to Gedaliah vnto Mizpah, and gathered wine and sommer fruites, very much.
so se celo vsi Judje vrnili iz vseh krajev, kamor so bili pognani ter prišli v Judovo deželo, h Gedaljáju v Micpo in zbrali zelo veliko vina in poletnega sadja.
13 Moreouer Iohanan the sonne of Kareah, and all the captaines of the hoste, that were in the fieldes, came to Gedaliah to Mizpah,
Poleg tega so Karéahov sin Johanán in vsi poveljniki sil, ki so bili na poljih, prišli h Gedaljáju v Micpo
14 And said vnto him, Knowest thou not that Baalis the King of the Ammonites hath sent Ishmael the sonne of Nethaniah to slay thee? But Gedaliah the sonne of Ahikam beleeued them not.
in mu rekli: »Ali zagotovo veš, da je Baalís, kralj Amóncev, poslal Netanjájevega sina Jišmaéla, da te ubije?« Toda Ahikámov sin Gedaljá jim ni verjel.
15 Then Iohanan the sonne of Kareah spake to Gedaliah in Mizpah secretly, saying, Let me goe, I pray thee, and I will slay Ishmael the sonne of Nethaniah, and no man shall know it. Wherefore should he kill thee, that all the Iewes, which are gathered vnto thee, shoulde be scattered, and the remnant in Iudah perish?
Potem je Karéahov sin Johanán na skrivnem spregovoril Gedaljáju v Micpi: »Pusti me, prosim te in ubil bom Netanjájevega sina Jišmaéla in noben človek tega ne bo vedel. Čemu naj bi te ta ubil, da bi se vsi Judi, ki so zbrani k tebi, razkropili in preostanek Juda propade?«
16 But Gedaliah the sonne of Ahikam said vnto Iohanan the sonne of Kareah, Thou shalt not doe this thing: for thou speakest falsely of Ishmael.
Toda Ahikámov sin Gedaljá je rekel Karéahovemu sinu Johanánu: »Ne boš storil te stvari, kajti napačno govoriš o Jišmaélu.«
