Ezra 9
1 And at the completion of these things, the heads have drawn near to me, saying, “The people of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites, have not been separated from the peoples of the lands, as to their abominations, even the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Jebusite, the Ammonite, the Moabite, the Egyptian, 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 to them, and to their sons, and the holy seed have mingled themselves among the peoples of the lands, and the hand of the heads and of the seconds have been first in this trespass.”
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 at my hearing this word, I have torn my garment and my upper robe, and pluck out of the hair of my head, and of my beard, and sit astonished,
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 and to me are gathered everyone trembling at the words of the God of Israel, because of the trespass of the expulsion, and I am sitting astonished until the present of the evening.
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 present of the evening I have risen from my affliction, and at my tearing my garment and my upper robe, then I bow down on my knees, and spread out my hands to my God YHWH,
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 say, “O my God, I have been ashamed, and have blushed to lift up, O my God, my face to You, for our iniquities have increased over the head, and our guilt has become great to the heavens.
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 [are] in great guilt to this day, and in our iniquities we have been given—we, our kings, our priests—into the hand of the kings of the lands, with sword, with captivity, and with spoiling, and with shame of 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, as a small moment grace has been from our God YHWH, to leave an escape for us, and to give to us a nail in His holy place, by our God’s enlightening our eyes, and by giving us 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] servants, and in our servitude our God has not forsaken us, and stretches out to us kindness before the kings of Persia, to give to us a quickening to lift up the house of our God, and to cause its ruins to cease, and to give to us a wall in Judah and in 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 And now, what do we say, O our God, after this? For we have forsaken Your commands,
In sedaj, oh naš Bog, kaj bomo rekli po tem? Kajti zapustili smo tvoje zapovedi,
11 that You have commanded by the hands of Your servants the prophets, saying, The land into which you are going to possess it, [is] a land of impurity, by the impurity of the people of the lands, by their abominations with which they have filled it—from mouth to mouth—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, your daughters you do not give to their sons, and their daughters you do not take to your sons, and you do not seek their peace, and their good—for all time, so that you are strong, and have eaten the good of the land, and given possession to your sons for all time.
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 has come on us for our evil works, and for our great guilt (for You, O our God, have kept back of the rod from our iniquities, and have given to us an escape like this),
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 do we turn back to break Your commands, and to join ourselves in marriage with the people of these abominations? Are You not angry against us—even to consumption—until there is no remnant and escaped part?
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 YHWH, God of Israel, You [are] righteous, for we have been left an escape, as [it is] this day; behold, we [are] before You in our guilt, for there is none to stand before You concerning this.”
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.«
