< Ezra 6 >
1 Potem je kralj Darej izdal odlok in narejena je bila preiskava v hiši zvitkov, kjer so bili v Babilonu shranjeni zakladi.
Then Darius the king made a decree, and search was made in the house of the books, where the treasures were laid up in Babylon.
2 In tam pri Ahmeti, v palači, ki je v provinci Medijcev, je bil najden zvitek in v njem je bil tako zapisan zapis:
And there was found at Achmetha, in the palace that is in the province of the Medes, a scroll, and in it was a record thus written:
3 ›V prvem letu kralja Kira je isti kralj Kir izdal odlok glede Božje hiše v Jeruzalemu: ›Naj bo hiša zgrajena, kraj, kjer so darovali daritve in naj bodo njeni temelji trdno položeni. Njena višina [naj bo] šestdeset in njena širina šestdeset komolcev,
In the first year of Cyrus the king the same Cyrus the king made a decree concerning the house of God at Jerusalem, Let the house be built, the place where they offered sacrifices, and let the foundations of it be strongly laid; the height of it sixty cubits, and the breadth of it sixty cubits;
4 s tremi vrstami velikih kamnov in vrsto iz novih tramov in stroški naj bodo poravnani iz kraljeve hiše.
With three rows of great stones, and a row of new timber: and let the expenses be given out of the king’s house:
5 Tudi zlate in srebrne posode Božje hiše, ki jih je Nebukadnezar vzel iz templja, ki je v Jeruzalemu in jih prenesel v Babilon, naj bodo povrnjene in ponovno prinesene v tempelj, ki je v Jeruzalemu, vsako na svoj kraj in [naj] jih prinesejo v Božjo hišo.‹
And also let the golden and silver vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple which is at Jerusalem, and brought to Babylon, be restored, and brought again to the temple which is at Jerusalem, every one to its place, and place them in the house of God.
6 ›Sedaj torej Tatenáj, voditelj onkraj reke, Šetár Boznáj in vaši družabniki, Afarsahejci, ki so onkraj reke, bodite daleč od tam.
Now therefore, Tatnai, governor beyond the river, Shetharboznai, and your companions the Apharsachites, who are beyond the river, keep away from there:
7 Pustite delo te Božje hiše. Naj voditelj Judov in starešine Judov zgradijo to Božjo hišo na njenem kraju.
Let the work of this house of God alone; let the governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews build this house of God in its place.
8 Poleg tega izdajam odlok, kaj boste naredili starešinam teh Judov za zgradbo te Božje hiše, da bodo od kraljevih dobrin, celó od davka onkraj reke, nemudoma izplačani stroški tem možem, da ne bodo ovirani.
Moreover I make a decree what ye shall do to the elders of these Jews for the building of this house of God: that of the king’s goods, even of the tribute beyond the river, expenses be given immediately to these men, that they be not hindered.
9 In to, kar potrebujejo, tako mlade bikce kakor ovne in jagnjeta za žgalne daritve Bogu nebes, pšenico, sol, vino in olje, glede na določilo duhovnikov, ki so v Jeruzalemu, naj jim bo to čisto gotovo dano dan za dnem,
And that which they have need of, both young bulls, and rams, and lambs, for the burnt offerings of the God of heaven, wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the appointment of the priests who are at Jerusalem, let it be given to them day by day without fail:
10 da bodo lahko darovali žrtvovanje prijetnih vonjav Bogu nebes in molili za življenje kralja in njegovih sinov.
That they may offer sacrifices of sweet savours to the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king, and of his sons.
11 Prav tako sem izdal odlok, da kdorkoli bo predrugačil to besedo, naj bo tram izvlečen dol iz njegove hiše in naj bo postavljen pokonci; naj bo tisti obešen nanj in naj bo zaradi tega njegova hiša narejena za gnojišče.
Also I have made a decree, that whoever shall alter this word, let timber be pulled down from his house, and being set up, let him be hanged on it; and let his house be made a dunghill for this.
12 In Bog, ki je svojemu imenu storil, da prebiva tam, naj uniči vse kralje in ljudstvo, ki bo svojo roko položilo, da spremenijo in uničijo to Božjo hišo, ki je v Jeruzalemu. Jaz, Darej, sem zapovedal ta odlok. Naj bo hitro uresničen.‹
And the God that hath caused his name to dwell there destroy all kings and people, that shall try to alter the decree and to destroy this house of God which is at Jerusalem. I Darius have made a decree; let it be done with speed.
13 Potem so Tatenáj, voditelj na tej strani reke, Šetár Boznáj in njihovi družabniki tako hitro storili glede na to, kar je kralj Darej poslal.
Then Tatnai, governor on this side the river, Shetharboznai, and their companions, according to that which Darius the king had sent, so they did speedily.
14 Starešine Judov so gradili in uspevali po prerokovanju prerokov Ageja in Idójevega sina Zaharija. Gradili so in to končali glede na zapoved Izraelovega Boga in glede zapovedi Kira, Dareja in Artakserksa, kralja Perzije.
And the elders of the Jews built, and they prospered through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. And they built, and finished it, according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the commandment of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.
15 Ta hiša je bila končana na tretji dan meseca adárja, ki je bil v šestem letu kraljevanja kralja Dareja.
And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.
16 Izraelovi otroci, duhovniki, Lévijevci in preostanek otrok iz ujetništva, so z radostjo praznovali posvetitev te Božje hiše.
And the children of Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the rest of the children of the captivity, kept the dedication of this house of God with joy,
17 Pri posvetitvi te Božje hiše so darovali sto bikcev, dvesto ovnov, štiristo jagnjet. In za daritev za greh za ves Izrael dvanajst kozlov, glede na število Izraelovih rodov.
And offered at the dedication of this house of God an hundred bulls, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs; and for a sin offering for all Israel, twelve male goats, according to the number of the tribes of Israel.
18 Postavili so duhovnike v svojih oddelkih in Lévijevce po svojih skupinah za Božjo službo, ki je v Jeruzalemu, kakor je to zapisano v Mojzesovi knjigi.
And they set the priests in their divisions, and the Levites in their courses, for the service of God, who is at Jerusalem; as it is written in the book of Moses.
19 Otroci iz ujetništva so praznovali pasho na štirinajsti dan prvega meseca.
And the children of the captivity kept the passover upon the fourteenth day of the first month.
20 Kajti duhovniki in Lévijevci so bili skupaj posvečeni, vsi izmed njih so bili čisti in zaklali so pashalno jagnje za vse otroke iz ujetništva in za njihove brate duhovnike in zase.
For the priests and the Levites were purified together, all of them were pure, and they killed the passover for all the children of the captivity, and for their brethren the priests, and for themselves.
21 Izraelovi otroci, ki so ponovno prišli iz ujetništva in vsi tisti, ki so se ločili pred umazanostjo poganov dežele, da iščejo Gospoda, Izraelovega Boga, so jedli
And the children of Israel, who had returned from captivity, and all such as had separated themselves to them from the filthiness of the heathen of the land, to seek the LORD God of Israel, ate,
22 in z radostjo so sedem dni praznovali praznik nekvašenega kruha, kajti Gospod jih je naredil radostne in obrnil srce asirskega kralja k njim, da okrepi njihove roke v delu pri Božji hiši Izraelovega Boga.
And kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy: for the LORD had made them joyful, and turned the heart of the king of Assyria to them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.
