Jeremiah 37
1 And Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned as king, instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah.
Kralj Sedekíja, sin Jošíja, je zakraljeval namesto Jojakímovega sina Konija, ki ga je babilonski kralj Nebukadnezar postavil za kralja v Judovi deželi.
2 But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, did hearken unto the words of the LORD, which He spoke by the prophet Jeremiah.
Toda niti on niti njegovi služabniki niti ljudstvo dežele ni prisluhnilo Gospodovim besedam, ki jih je govoril po preroku Jeremiju.
3 And Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, to the prophet Jeremiah, saying: 'Pray now unto the LORD our God for us.'
Kralj Sedekíja je poslal Šelemjájevega sina Juhála in duhovnika Cefanjája, Maasejájevega sina, k preroku Jeremiju, rekoč: »Moli za nas sedaj h Gospodu, našemu Bogu.«
4 Now Jeremiah came in and went out among the people; for they had not put him into prison.
Torej Jeremija je prihajal in odhajal ven med ljudstvom, kajti niso ga vtaknili v ječo.
5 And Pharaoh's army was come forth out of Egypt; and when the Chaldeans that besieged Jerusalem heard tidings of them, they broke up from Jerusalem.
Potem je faraonova vojska prišla iz Egipta. Ko so Kaldejci, ki so oblegali Jeruzalem, slišali novice o njih, so se umaknili od Jeruzalema.
6 Then came the word of the LORD unto the prophet Jeremiah, saying:
Potem je prišla beseda od Gospoda preroku Jeremiju, rekoč:
7 'Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: Thus shall ye say to the king of Judah, that sent you unto Me to inquire of Me: Behold, Pharaoh's army, which is come forth to help you, shall return to Egypt into their own land.
»Tako govori Gospod, Izraelov Bog: ›Tako boš rekel Judovemu kralju, ki te je poslal k meni, da poizveduješ od mene: ›Glej, faraonova vojska, ki je prišla naprej, da vam pomaga, se bo vrnila v Egipt, v svojo lastno deželo.
8 And the Chaldeans shall return, and fight against this city; and they shall take it, and burn it with fire.
Kaldejci pa bodo ponovno prišli in se borili zoper to mesto, ga zavzeli in požgali z ognjem.‹
9 Thus saith the LORD: Deceive not yourselves, saying: The Chaldeans shall surely depart from us; for they shall not depart.
Tako govori Gospod: ›Ne zavajajte same sebe, rekoč: ›Kaldejci bodo zagotovo odšli od nas, ‹ kajti ne bodo odšli.
10 For though ye had smitten the whole army of the Chaldeans that fight against you, and there remained but wounded men among them, yet would they rise up every man in his tent, and burn this city with fire.'
Kajti čeprav bi udarili celotno vojsko Kaldejcev, ki se bori zoper vas in bi tam med njimi preostali samo ranjeni možje, bi se vendar vzdignili vsak človek v svojem šotoru in to mesto požgali z ognjem.‹«
11 And it came to pass, that when the army of the Chaldeans was broken up from Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh's army,
Pripetilo se je, ko je bila vojska Kaldejcev odrezana izpred Jeruzalema zaradi strahu pred faraonovo vojsko, da
12 then Jeremiah went forth out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to receive his portion there, in the midst of the people.
je potem Jeremija odšel naprej iz Jeruzalema, da gre v Benjaminovo deželo, da bi se oddvojil tja, v sredo ljudstva.
13 And when he was in the gate of Benjamin, a captain of the ward was there, whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah; and he laid hold on Jeremiah the prophet, saying: 'Thou fallest away to the Chaldeans.'
Ko je bil v velikih vratih Benjamina, je bil tam poveljnik straže, katerega ime je bilo Jirijá, sin Šelemjája, sin Hananjá, in ta je prijel preroka Jeremija, rekoč: »Ti bežiš stran h Kaldejcem.«
14 Then said Jeremiah: 'It is false; I fall not away to the Chaldeans'; but he hearkened not to him; so Irijah laid hold on Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes.
Potem je Jeremija rekel: » To je napačno. Jaz ne bežim h Kaldejcem.« Toda ta mu ni prisluhnil. Tako je Jirijá prijel Jeremija in ga privedel k princem.
15 And the princes were wroth with Jeremiah, and smote him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe; for they had made that the prison.
Zakaj princi so bili ogorčeni nad Jeremijem, ga udarili in ga vtaknili v ječo, v hišo pisarja Jonatana, kajti le-to so naredili za ječo.
16 When Jeremiah was come into the dungeon-house, and into the cells, and Jeremiah had remained there many days;
Ko je Jeremija vstopil v jetniško jamo in v kabine, je Jeremija tam ostal mnogo dni.
17 then Zedekiah the king sent, and fetched him; and the king asked him secretly in his house, and said: 'Is there any word from the LORD?' And Jeremiah said: 'There is.' He said also: 'Thou shalt be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon.'
Potem je kralj Sedekíja poslal in ga potegnil ven. Kralj ga je na skrivnem vprašal v svoji hiši in rekel: »Ali je kakršnakoli beseda od Gospoda?« Jeremija je rekel: »Je, kajti, « je rekel, »izročen boš v roko babilonskega kralja.«
18 Moreover Jeremiah said unto king Zedekiah: 'Wherein have I sinned against thee, or against thy servants, or against this people, that ye have put me in prison?
Poleg tega je Jeremija rekel kralju Sedekíju: »Kaj sem se pregrešil zoper tebe ali zoper tvoje služabnike ali zoper to ljudstvo, da ste me vtaknili v ječo?
19 Where now are your prophets that prophesied unto you, saying: The king of Babylon shall not come against you, nor against this land?
Kje so sedaj vaši preroki, ki so vam prerokovali, rekoč: ›Babilonski kralj ne bo prišel zoper vas niti zoper to deželo.‹
20 And now hear, I pray thee, O my lord the king: let my supplication, I pray thee, be presented before thee; that thou cause me not to return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there.'
Zatorej poslušaj sedaj, prosim te, oh moj gospod kralj. Naj bo moja ponižna prošnja, prosim te, sprejeta pred teboj, da mi ne povzročiš, da se vrnem k hiši pisarja Jonatana, da tam ne umrem.
21 Then Zedekiah the king commanded, and they committed Jeremiah into the court of the guard, and they gave him daily a loaf of bread out of the bakers' street, until all the bread in the city was spent. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.
Potem je kralj Sedekíja zapovedal, da naj Jeremija pošljejo na dvorišče ječe in da mu dnevno dajejo kos kruha iz pekarske ulice, dokler ne bi bil ves kruh v mestu porabljen. Tako je Jeremija ostal na dvorišču ječe.
