Jeremiah 40
1 The word that has been to Jeremiah from YHWH, after Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners, has sent him from Ramah, in his taking him—and he a prisoner in chains—in the midst of all the expulsion of Jerusalem and of Judah, who are removed to Babylon.
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 chief of the executioners takes Jeremiah and says to him, “Your God YHWH has spoken this calamity concerning this place,
Poveljnik straže je vzel Jeremija in mu rekel: » Gospod, tvoj Bog, je proglasil to zlo nad tem krajem.
3 and YHWH brings [it] in, and does as He spoke, because you have sinned against YHWH, and have not listened to His voice, even this thing has been to 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 now, behold, I have loosed you today from the chains that [are] on your hand; if [it is] good in your eyes to come with me [to] Babylon, come, and I keep my eye on you: and if [it is] evil in your eyes to come with me to Babylon, refrain; see, all the land [is] before you, to where [it is] good, and to where [it is] right in your eyes to go—go.”
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 And while he does not reply—“Or turn back to Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon has appointed over the cities of Judah, and dwell with him in the midst of the people, or wherever it is right in your eyes to go—go.” And the chief of the executioners gives a ration and gift to him, and sends him away,
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 and Jeremiah comes to Gedaliah son of Ahikam, to Mizpah, and dwells with him in the midst of the people who are left in the land.
Potem je Jeremija odšel k Ahikámovemu sinu Gedaljáju v Micpo, in prebival z njim med ljudstvom, ki je ostalo v deželi.
7 And all the heads of the forces that [are] in the field hear, they and their men, that the king of Babylon has appointed Gedaliah son of Ahikam over the land, and that he has charged him [with] men, and women, and infants, and of the poor of the land, of those who have not been removed to Babylon;
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 and they come to Gedaliah at Mizpah, even Ishmael son of Nethaniah, and Johanan and Jonathan [the] sons of Kareah, and Seraiah son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah son of the Maachathite, 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 son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, swears to them and to their men, saying, “Do not be afraid of serving the Chaldeans, abide in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it is well for 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 and I, behold, I am dwelling in Mizpah to stand before the Chaldeans who have come to us, and you, gather wine, and summer fruit, and oil, and put [them] in your vessels, and dwell in your cities that you have 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 And also all the Jews who [are] in Moab, and among the sons of Ammon, and in Edom, and who [are] in all the lands, have heard that the king of Babylon has given a remnant to Judah, and that he has appointed over them Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son 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 and all the Jews from all the places to where they have been driven, return and enter the land of Judah, to Gedaliah, to Mizpah, and they gather wine and summer fruit—to multiply abundantly.
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 And Johanan son of Kareah, and all the heads of the forces that [are] in the field, have come to Gedaliah at Mizpah,
Poleg tega so Karéahov sin Johanán in vsi poveljniki sil, ki so bili na poljih, prišli h Gedaljáju v Micpo
14 and they say to him, “Do you really know that Ba‘alis king of the sons of Ammon has sent Ishmael son of Nethaniah to strike your soul?” And Gedaliah son of Ahikam has not given credence to them.
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 And Johanan son of Kareah has spoken to Gedaliah in secret, in Mizpah, saying, “Please let me go, and I strike Ishmael son of Nethaniah, and no one knows; why does he strike your soul? And all Judah who are gathered to you have been scattered, and the remnant of Judah has perished.”
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 And Gedaliah son of Ahikam says to Johanan son of Kareah, “You do not do this thing, for you are speaking falsehood concerning Ishmael.”
Toda Ahikámov sin Gedaljá je rekel Karéahovemu sinu Johanánu: »Ne boš storil te stvari, kajti napačno govoriš o Jišmaélu.«
