Jeremiah 37
1 Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned as king, instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadnezzar 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, listened to 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 Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, "Pray now to 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 Pharaoh's army had come forth out of Egypt; and when the Chaldeans who were besieging Jerusalem heard news 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 to the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
Potem je prišla beseda od Gospoda preroku Jeremiju, rekoč:
7 "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, 'You shall tell the king of Judah, who sent you to me to inquire of me: "Look, Pharaoh's army, which has 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 The Chaldeans shall come again, 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 says the LORD, "Do not deceive 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 you had struck the whole army of the Chaldeans who fight against you, and there remained but wounded men among them, yes 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 It happened 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 When he was in the Benjamin Gate, a captain of the guard was there, whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah; and he laid hold on Jeremiah the prophet, saying, "You are falling 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 Jeremiah said, "It is false; I am not falling away to the Chaldeans." But he did not listen to him; so Irijah laid hold on Jeremiah, and brought him to the officials.
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 officials were angry with Jeremiah, and struck 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 had 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?" Jeremiah said, "There is." He said also, "You shall 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 to king Zedekiah, "Wherein have I sinned against you, or against your servants, or against this people, that you 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 who prophesied to 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 Now please hear, my lord the king: please let my petition be presented before you, that you not cause me 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.
