Jeremiah 40
1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, after that Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard had let him go from Ramah, when he had taken him being bound in chains among all that were carried away captive of Jerusalem and Judah, who were carried away captive 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 captain of the guard took Jeremiah, and said to him, The LORD thy God hath pronounced this evil upon this place.
Poveljnik straže je vzel Jeremija in mu rekel: » Gospod, tvoj Bog, je proglasil to zlo nad tem krajem.
3 Now the LORD hath brought [it], and done according as he hath said: because ye have sinned against the LORD, and have not obeyed his voice, therefore this thing is come upon 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 loose thee this day from the chains which [were] upon thy hand. If it seemeth good to thee to come with me into Babylon, come; and I will look well to thee: but if it seemeth ill to thee to come with me into Babylon, forbear: behold, all the land [is] before thee: whither it seemeth good and convenient for thee to go, thither 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 Now while he had not yet gone back, [he said], Go back also to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the cities of Judah, and dwell with him among the people: or go wherever it seemeth convenient to thee to go. So the captain of the guard gave him provisions and a reward, and let him go.
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 Then Jeremiah went to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and dwelt with him among the people that were 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 Now when all the captains of the forces who [were] in the fields, [even] they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam governor in the land, and had committed to him men, and women, and children, and of the poor of the land, of them that were not carried away captive 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 Then they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan and Jonathan the sons of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah the son of a 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 the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, swore to them and to their men, saying, Fear not to serve the Chaldeans: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with 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 As for me, behold, I will dwell at Mizpah, to serve the Chaldeans, who will come to us: but ye, gather ye wine, and summer fruits, and oil, and put [them] in your vessels, and dwell in your cities that ye 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 Likewise when all the Jews that [were] in Moab, and among the Ammonites, and in Edom, and that [were] in all the countries, heard that the king of Babylon had left a remnant of Judah, and that he had set over them Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the 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 Even all the Jews returned out of all places whither they were driven, and came to the land of Judah, to Gedaliah, to Mizpah, and gathered wine and summer fruits in abundance.
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 Moreover Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, that [were] in the fields, came to Gedaliah to Mizpah,
Poleg tega so Karéahov sin Johanán in vsi poveljniki sil, ki so bili na poljih, prišli h Gedaljáju v Micpo
14 And said to him, Dost thou certainly know that Baalis the king of the Ammonites hath sent Ishmael the son of Nethaniah to slay thee? But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam believed them not.
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 Then Johanan the son of Kareah spoke to Gedaliah in Mizpah secretly, saying, Let me go, I pray thee, and I will slay Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and no man shall know [it]: why should he slay thee, that all the Jews who are gathered to thee should be scattered, and the remnant of Judah perish?
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 But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam said to Johanan the son of Kareah, Thou shalt not do this thing: for thou speakest falsely of Ishmael.
Toda Ahikámov sin Gedaljá je rekel Karéahovemu sinu Johanánu: »Ne boš storil te stvari, kajti napačno govoriš o Jišmaélu.«
