Ezra 5
1 Then were moved to prophesy, Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah son of Iddo, the prophets, unto the Jews who were in Judaea and in Jerusalem, —in the name of the God of Israel, unto them.
Potem sta preroka, prerok Agej in Zaharija, Idójev sin, prerokovala Judom, ki so bili v Judeji in Jeruzalemu, v imenu Izraelovega Boga, celó njim.
2 Then arose—Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua son of Jozadak, and began to build the house of God, which was in Jerusalem, —and, with them, were the prophets of God, strengthening them.
Potem sta vstala Šealtiélov sin Zerubabél in Jocadákov sin Ješúa in začela graditi Božjo hišo, ki je v Jeruzalemu in z njima so bili Božji preroki, ki so jima pomagali.
3 At that time, came unto them Tattenai pasha Beyond the River, and Shethar-bozenai, and their associates, —and, thus, spake they unto them, Who hath issued unto you an edict, this house, to build, and, this wall, to complete?
Ob istem času je prišel k njim Tatenáj, voditelj na tej strani reke in Šetár Boznáj in njihovi družabniki in so jim rekli tako: »Kdo vam je zapovedal, da zgradite to hišo in da postavite to obzidje?«
4 Then, after this manner, spake we unto them, —What are the names of these men, who, this building, do rear?
Potem smo jih vprašali na ta način: »Kako je ime možem, ki delajo to zgradbo?«
5 Nevertheless, the eye of their God, was upon the elders of Judah, and they did not forbid them, until the matter, unto Darius, should come, —and, then, answer be returned by letter, concerning this.
Toda oko njihovega Boga je bilo nad Judovimi starešinami, da jim niso mogli storiti, da odnehajo, dokler zadeva ni prišla k Dareju. In potem so glede te zadeve po pismu vrnili odgovor.
6 A copy of the letter which Tattenai pasha Beyond the River, and Shethar-bozenai, and his associates, the Apharsachites, who were Beyond the Rivet, sent unto Darius the king:
Prepis pisma, ki so ga Tatenáj, voditelj na tej strani reke in Šetár Boznáj in njegovi družabniki Afarsahejci, ki so bili na tej strani reke, poslali kralju Dareju.
7 a message, sent they unto him, —and, thus, was it written therein, Unto Darius the king, all prosperity!
Poslali so mu pismo, v katerem je bilo napisano takole: ›Kralju Dareju, ves mir.
8 Be it known unto the king, that we journeyed into the province of Judah, unto the house of the Great God, and, the same, is being built with large stones, and, timber, is being laid in the walls, —and, this work, with speed, is being done, and is prospering in their hands.
Bodi to znano kralju, da smo šli v judejsko provinco, k hiši vélikega Boga, ki je zgrajena z velikimi kamni in tramove polagajo v zidove in to delo hitro napreduje in uspeva v njihovih rokah.
9 Then asked we of these elders, thus, we said to them, —Who hath issued to you an edict, this house, to build, and, this wall, to complete?
Potem smo vprašali te starešine in jim rekli tako: ›Kdo vam je zapovedal, da gradite to hišo in da postavite te zidove?‹
10 Yea, their names also, asked we of them, to certify thee, —that we might write the name, of the men who are at their head.
Vprašali smo jih tudi za njihova imena, da ti potrdimo, da lahko napišemo imena mož, ki so bili glavni izmed njih.
11 And, thus, returned they, answer, to us saying, —We, are servants of the God of the heavens and the earth, and are building the house which was built these many years ago, which, a great king of Israel, built and completed.
In tako so nam vrnili odgovor, rekoč: ›Mi smo služabniki Boga nebes in zemlje in gradimo hišo, ki je bila zgrajena teh mnogo let nazaj, ki jo je veliki Izraelov kralj zgradil in postavil.
12 But, after that our fathers had provoked the God of the heavens to wrath, he delivered them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, the Chaldean, —and, this house, he destroyed, and, the people, he exiled to Babylon.
Toda potem ko so naši očetje dražili Boga nebes do besa, jih je dal v roko babilonskega kralja Nebukadnezarja, Kaldejca, ki je uničil to hišo in ljudstvo odvedel proč v Babilon.
13 Howbeit, in the first year of Cyrus king of Babylon, Cyrus the king, issued an edict, this house of God, to build.
Toda v prvem letu babilonskega kralja Kira je isti kralj Kir izdal odlok, da se gradi ta Božja hiša.
14 Moreover also, the utensils of the house of God, of gold and silver, which, Nebuchadnezzar, had brought forth out of the temple which was in Jerusalem, and had brought into the temple of Babylon, Cyrus the king, brought them forth, out of the temple of Babylon, —and they were delivered to one Sheshbazzar by name, whom he made, pasha;
Tudi posode iz zlata in srebra iz Božje hiše, ki jih je Nebukadnezar vzel iz templja, ki je bil v Jeruzalemu in jih prenesel v babilonski tempelj, te je kralj Kir vzel iz babilonskega templja in izročene so bile nekomu, katerega ime je bilo Šešbacár, ki ga je postavil za voditelja
15 and said to him—These utensils, take, go carry them into the temple that is in Jerusalem, —and let, the house of God, be built in its place.
in mu rekel: ›Vzemi te posode, pojdi, odnesi jih v tempelj, ki je v Jeruzalemu in naj bo Božja hiša zgrajena na svojem mestu.‹
16 Then, this Sheshbazzar, came, he laid the foundations of the house of God, which was in Jerusalem, —and, since then, even until now, it hath been in building, and is not finished.
Potem je prišel isti Šešbacár in položil temelj Božji hiši, ki je v Jeruzalemu in od tega časa celo do sedaj je ta v gradnji in še ni dokončana.
17 Now, therefore, if, unto the king, it seem good, let search be made in the treasure-house of the king which is there, in Babylon, whether it be so, that, from Cyrus the king, issued an edict, to build this house of God, in Jerusalem, —and, the pleasure of the king concerning this, let him send unto us.
Zdaj torej, če se to zdi dobro kralju, naj se preišče v kraljevi zakladni hiši, ki je tam v Babilonu, če je to tako, da je bil izdan odlok kralja Kira, da se zgradi to Božjo hišo v Jeruzalemu in naj nam kralj pošlje svojo voljo glede te zadeve.‹‹
