Nehemiah 13
1 And on that day did they reade in the booke of Moses, in the audience of the people, and it was found written therein, that the Ammonite, and the Moabite should not enter into the Congregation of God,
Na ta dan so brali Mojzesovo knjigo v občinstvu ljudstva in v njej je bilo najdeno zapisano, da naj Amónec in Moábec na veke ne bi prišla v Božjo skupnost,
2 Because they met not the children of Israel with bread and with water, but hired Balaam against them, that he should curse them: and our God turned the curse into a blessing.
ker niso srečali Izraelovih otrok s kruhom in vodo, temveč so zoper njih najeli Bileáma, da bi jih preklel. Vendar je naš Bog prekletstvo obrnil na blagoslov.
3 Now when they had heard the Lawe, they separated from Israel all those that were mixed.
Pripetilo se je torej, ko so slišali postavo, da so se od Izraela ločile vse mešane množice.
4 And before this had the Priest Eliashib the ouersight of the chamber of the house of our God, being kinsman to Tobiah:
Pred tem je bil duhovnik Eljašíb, ki je imel nadzor nad sobo hiše našega Boga, zbližan k Tobiju
5 And he had made him a great chamber and there had they aforetime layde the offringes, the incense, and the vessels, and the tithes of corne, of wine, and of oyle (appointed for the Leuites, and the singers, and the porters) and the offringes of the Priests.
in zanj pripravil veliko sobo, kjer so vnaprej položili jedilne daritve, kadilo, posode, desetine od žita, novega vina in olja, kar je bilo zapovedano, da naj bo dano Lévijevcem, pevcem in vratarjem ter darove duhovnikom.
6 But in all this time was not I in Ierusalem: for in the two and thirtieth yere of Artahshashte King of Babel, came I vnto the King, and after certaine dayes I obteined of the King.
Toda v vsem tem času nisem bil v Jeruzalemu, kajti v dvaintridesetem letu babilonskega kralja Artakserksa sem prišel h kralju in po določenih dneh sem od kralja prejel dovoljenje za odhod
7 And when I was come to Ierusalem, I vnderstood the euil that Eliashib had done for Tobiah, in that hee had made him a chamber in the court of the house of God,
in prišel sem v Jeruzalem in razumel zlo, ki ga je Eljašíb storil Tobiju, s tem, da mu je pripravil sobo na dvorih Božje hiše.
8 And it grieued me sore: therefore I cast forth all the vessels of the house of Tobiah out of the chamber.
To me je boleče užalostilo, zato sem iz sobe vrgel ven vse Tobijeve gospodinjske stvari.
9 And I commanded them to clense ye chambers: and thither brought I againe the vessels of the house of God with the meate offring and the incense.
Potem sem zapovedal in očistili so sobe. Tja sem ponovno prinesel posode iz Božje hiše, z jedilno daritvijo in kadilom.
10 And I perceiued that the portions of the Leuites had not bene giuen, and that euery one was fled to his lande, euen the Leuites and singers that executed the worke.
Zaznal sem, da jim niso bili dani deleži Lévijevcev, kajti Lévijevci in pevci, ki so opravljali delo, so pobegnili vsak k svojemu polju.
11 Then reproued I the rulers and sayd, Why is the house of God forsaken? And I assembled them, and set them in their place.
Potem sem se pričkal s poveljniki in rekel: »Zakaj je Božja hiša zapuščena?« Zbral sem jih skupaj in jih postavil na njihov kraj.
12 Then brought all Iudah the tithes of corne and of wine, and of oyle vnto the treasures.
Potem je ves Juda prinesel desetino od žita, novega vina in olja v zakladnice.
13 And I made treasurers ouer the treasures, Shelemiah the Priest, and Zadok the scribe, and of the Leuites, Pedaiah, and vnder their hande Hanan the sonne of Zaccur the sonne of Mattaniah: for they were counted faithfull, and their office was to distribute vnto their brethren.
Postavil sem zakladnike nad zakladnicami: duhovnika Šelemjája, pisarja Cadóka in izmed Lévijevcev Pedajá. Poleg njih je bil Hanán, sin Zahúrja, sinú Matanjá, kajti bili so šteti zveste in njihova služba je bila, da razdeljujejo svojim bratom.
14 Remember me, O my God, herein, and wipe not out my kindenes that I haue shewed on the house of my God, and on the offices thereof.
»Spomni se me, oh moj Bog, glede tega in ne izbriši mojih dobrih dejanj, ki sem jih storil za hišo svojega Boga in za njene službe.«
15 In those dayes saw I in Iudah them, that trode wine presses on ye Sabbath, and that brought in sheaues, and which laded asses also with wine, grapes, and figges, and all burdens, and brought them into Ierusalem vpon the Sabbath day: and I protested to them in the day that they sold vitailes.
V tistih dneh sem na šabat videl v Judu nekatere tlačiti vinske stiskalnice, prinašati snope in natovarjati osle kakor tudi vino, grozdje, fige in vse vrste bremen, ki so jih na šabatni dan prinesli v Jeruzalem. Pričeval sem zoper njih na dan, na katerega so prodajali živež.
16 There dwelt men of Tyrus also therein, which brought fish and all wares, and solde on the Sabbath vnto the children of Iudah euen in Ierusalem.
Tam notri so prebivali tudi možje iz Tira, ki so prinašali ribe in vse vrste blaga in na šabatni dan prodajali Judovim otrokom in v Jeruzalemu.
17 Then reprooued I the rulers of Iudah, and sayd vnto them, What euil thing is this that yee doe, and breake the Sabbath day?
Potem sem se pričkal z Judovimi plemiči in jim rekel: »Kakšno zlo je to, ki ga delate in oskrunjate šabatni dan?
18 Did not your fathers thus, and our God brought all this plague vpon vs, and vpon this citie? yet yee increase the wrath vpon Israel, in breaking the Sabbath.
Mar niso tako počeli vaši očetje in ali ni naš Bog privedel vsega tega zla nad nas in nad to mesto? Vendar nad Izrael prinašate več besa z oskrunitvijo šabata.«
19 And when the gates of Ierusalem beganne to be darke before the Sabbath, I commaded to shut the gates, and charged, that they should not be opened til after the Sabbath, and some of my seruants set I at the gates, that there shoulde no burden be brought in on the Sabbath day.
Pripetilo se je, ko so jeruzalemska velika vrata pred šabat pričenjala temneti, da sem zapovedal, naj se velika vrata zapro in jih zadolžil, da naj ne bodo odprta, dokler ne mine šabat in nekatere izmed svojih služabnikov sem postavil pri velikih vratih, da na šabatni dan ne bi bilo noter privedeno nobeno breme.
20 So the chapmen and marchants of al marchandise remained once or twise all night without Ierusalem.
Tako so trgovci in prodajalci vseh vrst blaga enkrat ali dvakrat prenočili zunaj Jeruzalema.
21 And I protested among them, and said vnto them, Why tary ye all night about the wall? If ye do it once againe, I will lay hands vpon you. from that time came they no more on the Sabbath.
Potem sem pričeval zoper njih in jim rekel: »Zakaj prenočujete okoli obzidja? Če boste ponovno storili tako, bom svoje roke položil na vas.« Od tistega časa naprej niso več prihajali na šabat.
22 And I sayde vnto the Leuites, that they should clense themselues, and that they shoulde come and keepe the gates, to sanctifie the Sabbath day. Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and pardon me according to thy great mercy.
Lévijevcem sem zapovedal, da naj se očistijo in da naj pridejo in varujejo velika vrata, da posvetijo šabatni dan. »Spomni se me, oh moj Bog, tudi glede tega in prizanesi mi glede na veličino svojega usmiljenja.«
23 In those dayes also I saw Iewes that married wiues of Ashdod, of Ammon, and of Moab.
V tistih dneh sem videl tudi Jude, ki so poročili žene iz Ašdóda, iz Amóna in iz Moába
24 And their children spake halfe in ye speach of Ashdod, and could not speake in the Iewes language, and according to the language of the one people, and of the other people.
in njihovi otroci so govorili pol v ašdódskem jeziku in niso mogli govoriti judovskega jezika, temveč glede na jezik vsakega ljudstva.
25 Then I reprooued them, and cursed them, and smote certaine of them, and pulled off their heare, and tooke an othe of them by God, Yee shall not giue your daughters vnto their sonnes, neither shall ye take of their daughters vnto your sonnes, nor for your selues.
Pričkal sem se z njimi in jih preklel in udaril nekatere izmed njih, izpulil njihove lase in jih primoral, da so prisegli pri Bogu, rekoč: »Svojih hčera ne boste dajali njihovim sinovom niti ne boste jemali njihovih hčera za svoje sinove ali zase.«
26 Did not Salomon the king of Israel sinne by these thinges? yet among many nations was there no King like him: for he was beloued of his God, and God had made him King ouer Israel: yet strange women caused him to sinne.
Mar ni Salomon, Izraelov kralj, grešil s temi stvarmi? Pa vendar med mnogimi narodi ni bilo nobenega kralja, podobnega njemu, ki je bil ljubljen od svojega Boga in ga je Bog postavil [za] kralja nad vsem Izraelom. Kljub temu so celo njemu tuje žene povzročile, da je grešil.
27 Shall wee then obey vnto you, to doe all this great euil, and to transgresse against our God, euen to marry strange wiues?
Mar naj potem prisluhnemo vam, da bi delali vso to veliko zlo, da grešimo zoper svojega Boga v poročanju tujih žena?
28 And one of the sonnes of Ioiada the sonne of Eliashib the hie Priest was the sonne in law of Sanballat the Horonite: but I chased him from me.
Eden izmed sinov Jojadája, sin vélikega duhovnika Eljašíba, je bil zet Horónca Sanbaláta, zato sem ga pregnal od sebe.
29 Remember them, O my God, that defile the Priesthoode, and the couenant of the Priesthoode, and of the Leuites.
»Spomni se jih, oh moj Bog, ker so omadeževali duhovništvo in zavezo duhovništva in Lévijevcev.«
30 Then cleansed I them from all strangers, and appoynted the wardes of the Priestes and of the Leuites, euery one in his office,
Tako sem jih očistil vseh tujcev in določil straže duhovnikov in Lévijevcev, vsakega pri svojem poslu
31 And for the offring of the wood at times appoynted, and for the first fruites. Remember me, O my God, in goodnes.
in za dar lesa, ob določenih časih in za prve sadove. »Spominjaj se me, oh moj Bog, za vselej.«
