Nehemiah 13
1 On that day there was read in the scroll of Moses, in the ears of the people, and it has been found written in it that an Ammonite and Moabite does not come into the assembly of God for all time,
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 have not come before the sons of Israel with bread and with water, and hire against them Balaam to revile them, and our God turns the reviling 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 And it comes to pass, at their hearing the Law, that they separate all the mixed people from Israel.
Pripetilo se je torej, ko so slišali postavo, da so se od Izraela ločile vse mešane množice.
4 And before this Eliashib the priest, appointed over chambers of the house of our God, [is] a relation of Tobiah,
Pred tem je bil duhovnik Eljašíb, ki je imel nadzor nad sobo hiše našega Boga, zbližan k Tobiju
5 and he makes for him a great chamber, and there they were formerly putting the present, the frankincense, and the vessels, and the tithe of the grain, the new wine, and the oil—the commanded thing of the Levites, and the singers, and the gatekeepers—and the raised-offering 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 And during all this I was not in Jerusalem, for in the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon I came to the king, and at the end of days I have asked 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 I come to Jerusalem, and understand concerning the evil that Eliashib has done for Tobiah, to make to him a chamber in the courts 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 is very displeasing to me, and I cast all the vessels of the house of Tobiah outside, out of the chamber,
To me je boleče užalostilo, zato sem iz sobe vrgel ven vse Tobijeve gospodinjske stvari.
9 and I command, and they cleanse the chambers, and I bring back there the vessels of the house of God with the present and the frankincense.
Potem sem zapovedal in očistili so sobe. Tja sem ponovno prinesel posode iz Božje hiše, z jedilno daritvijo in kadilom.
10 And I know that the portions of the Levites have not been given, and they flee each to his field—the Levites and the singers, doing the work.
Zaznal sem, da jim niso bili dani deleži Lévijevcev, kajti Lévijevci in pevci, ki so opravljali delo, so pobegnili vsak k svojemu polju.
11 And I strive with the prefects, and say, “Why has the house of God been forsaken?” And I gather them, and set them on their station;
Potem sem se pričkal s poveljniki in rekel: »Zakaj je Božja hiša zapuščena?« Zbral sem jih skupaj in jih postavil na njihov kraj.
12 and all Judah has brought in the tithe of the grain, and of the new wine, and of the oil, to the treasuries.
Potem je ves Juda prinesel desetino od žita, novega vina in olja v zakladnice.
13 And I appoint treasurers over the treasuries, Shelemiah the priest, and Zadok the scribe, and Pedaiah of the Levites; and by their hand [is] Hanan son of Zaccur, son of Mattaniah, for they have been reckoned steadfast, and on them [it is] to give a portion to their brothers.
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 Be mindful of me, O my God, for this, and do not blot out my kind acts that I have done, for the house of my God, and for its charges.
»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 days I have seen in Judah those treading wine-vats on Sabbath, and bringing in the sheaves, and loading on the donkeys, and also, wine, grapes, and figs, and every burden, indeed, they are bringing into Jerusalem on the Sabbath day, and I testify in the day of their selling provision.
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 And the Tyrians have dwelt in it, bringing in fish, and every ware, and selling on Sabbath to the sons of Judah and in Jerusalem.
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 And I strive with the nobles of Judah, and say to them, “What [is] this evil thing that you are doing, and defiling 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 Thus did not your fathers do? And our God brings in on us all this evil, and on this city, and you are adding fierceness on Israel, to defile 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 it comes to pass, when the gates of Jerusalem have been dark before the Sabbath, that I command, and the doors are shut, and I command that they do not open them until after the Sabbath; and of my servants I have stationed at the gates; there does not come in a burden 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 And they lodge—the merchants and sellers of all ware—at the outside of Jerusalem, once or twice,
Tako so trgovci in prodajalci vseh vrst blaga enkrat ali dvakrat prenočili zunaj Jeruzalema.
21 and I testify against them, and say to them, “Why are you lodging in front of the wall? If you repeat [it], I put forth a hand on you”; from that time they have not come in 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 command to the Levites that they be cleansed, and coming in, keeping the gates, to sanctify the Sabbath day. Also, this, remember for me, O my God, and have pity on me, according to the abundance of Your kindness.
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 Also, in those days, I have seen the Jews [who] have settled women of Ashdod, of Ammon, of Moab.
V tistih dneh sem videl tudi Jude, ki so poročili žene iz Ašdóda, iz Amóna in iz Moába
24 And of their sons, half are speaking Ashdoditish—and are not knowing to speak Jewish—and according to the language of people and people.
in njihovi otroci so govorili pol v ašdódskem jeziku in niso mogli govoriti judovskega jezika, temveč glede na jezik vsakega ljudstva.
25 And I strive with them, and declare them vile, and strike certain of them, and pluck off their hair, and cause them to swear by God, “You do not give your daughters to their sons, nor do you take of their daughters to your sons, and to yourselves.
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 By these did not Solomon king of Israel sin? And among the many nations there was no king like him, and he was beloved by his God, and God makes him king over all Israel—even him [whom] the strange women caused to sin.
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 And do we listen to you to do all this great evil, to trespass against our God, to settle strange women?”
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 sons of Joiada son of Eliashib the high priest, [is] son-in-law to Sanballat the Horonite, and I cause him to flee from off me.
Eden izmed sinov Jojadája, sin vélikega duhovnika Eljašíba, je bil zet Horónca Sanbaláta, zato sem ga pregnal od sebe.
29 Be mindful of them, O my God, for the redeemed of the priesthood, and the covenant of the priesthood, and of the Levites.
»Spomni se jih, oh moj Bog, ker so omadeževali duhovništvo in zavezo duhovništva in Lévijevcev.«
30 And I have cleansed them from every stranger, and appoint charges to priests and to Levites, each in his work,
Tako sem jih očistil vseh tujcev in določil straže duhovnikov in Lévijevcev, vsakega pri svojem poslu
31 and for the wood-offering at appointed times, and for first-fruits. Be mindful of me, O my God, for good.
in za dar lesa, ob določenih časih in za prve sadove. »Spominjaj se me, oh moj Bog, za vselej.«
