Ezra 5
1 And prophesied have the prophets, (Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah son of Iddo) unto the Jews who [are] in Judah 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 have Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua son of Jozadak, risen, and begun to build the house of God, that [is] in Jerusalem, and with them are the prophets of God supporting 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 come to them hath Tatnai, governor beyond the river, and Shethar-Boznai, and their companions, and thus they are saying to them, 'Who hath made for you a decree this house to build, and this wall to finish?'
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 thus we have said to them, 'What [are] the names of the men who are building this building?'
Potem smo jih vprašali na ta način: »Kako je ime možem, ki delajo to zgradbo?«
5 And the eye of their God hath been upon the elders of the Jews, and they have not caused them to cease till the matter goeth to Darius, and then they send back a letter concerning this thing.
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 The copy of a letter that Tatnai, governor beyond the river, hath sent, and Shethar-Boznai and his companions, the Apharsachites who [are] beyond the river, 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 letter they have sent unto him, and thus is it written in it:
Poslali so mu pismo, v katerem je bilo napisano takole: ›Kralju Dareju, ves mir.
8 'To Darius the king, all peace! be it known to the king that we have gone to the province of Judah, to the great house of God, and it is built [with] rolled stones, and wood is placed in the walls, and this work is done speedily, and prospering in their hand.
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 we have asked of these elders, thus we have said to them, Who hath made for you a decree this house to build, and this wall to finish?
Potem smo vprašali te starešine in jim rekli tako: ›Kdo vam je zapovedal, da gradite to hišo in da postavite te zidove?‹
10 And also their names we have asked of them, to let thee know, that we might write the names 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 they have returned us word, saying, We [are] servants of the God of heaven and earth, and are building the house that was built many years before this, that a great king of Israel built and finished:
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 made the God of heaven angry, he gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon the Chaldean, and this house he destroyed, and the people he removed 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 but in the first year of Cyrus king of Babylon, Cyrus the king made a decree to build this house of God,
Toda v prvem letu babilonskega kralja Kira je isti kralj Kir izdal odlok, da se gradi ta Božja hiša.
14 and also, the vessels of the house of God, of gold and silver, that Nebuchadnezzar had taken forth out of the temple that [is] in Jerusalem, and brought them to the temple of Babylon, them hath Cyrus the king brought forth out of the temple of Babylon, and they have been given to [one], Sheshbazzar [is] his name, whom he made governor,
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 vessels lift up, go, put them down in the temple that [is] in Jerusalem, and the house of God is builded on 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 hath this Sheshbazzar come — he hath laid the foundations of the house of God that [is] in Jerusalem, and from thence even till now it hath been 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 'And now, if to the king it be good, let search be made in the treasure-house of the king, that [is] there in Babylon, whether it be that of Cyrus the king there was made a decree to build this house of God in Jerusalem, and the will of the king concerning this thing he doth 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.‹‹
