Ezra 7
1 Torej po teh stvareh, v kraljevanju perzijskega kralja Artakserksa, je Ezra, sin Serajája, sinú Azarjája, sinú Hilkijája,
Many years later, during the reign of Artaxerxes king of Persia, Ezra son of Seraiah, the son of Azariah, the son of Hilkiah,
2 sinú Šalúma, sinú Cadóka, sinú Ahitúba,
the son of Shallum, the son of Zadok, the son of Ahitub,
3 sinú Amarjája, sinú Azarjája, sinú Merajóta,
the son of Amariah, the son of Azariah, the son of Meraioth,
4 sinú Zerahjája, sinú Uzíja, sinú Bukíja,
the son of Zerahiah, the son of Uzzi, the son of Bukki,
5 sinú Abišúa, sinú Pinhása, sinú Eleazarja, sinú Arona, vélikega duhovnika;
the son of Abishua, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the chief priest—
6 ta Ezra odšel gor iz Babilona. Ta je bil vešč pisar v Mojzesovi postavi, ki jo je dal Gospod, Izraelov Bog. In kralj mu je zagotovil vse njegove zahteve, glede na roko Gospoda, njegovega Boga, nad njim.
this Ezra came up from Babylon. He was a scribe skilled in the Law of Moses, which the LORD, the God of Israel, had given. The king had granted Ezra all his requests, for the hand of the LORD his God was upon him.
7 In tam so šli gor nekateri izmed Izraelovih otrok in izmed duhovnikov, Lévijevcev, pevcev, vratarjev in Netinimcev v Jeruzalem, v sedmem letu kralja Artakserksa.
So in the seventh year of King Artaxerxes, he went up to Jerusalem with some of the Israelites, including priests, Levites, singers, gatekeepers, and temple servants.
8 V petem mesecu je ta prišel v Jeruzalem, kar je bilo v sedmem letu kralja.
Ezra arrived in Jerusalem in the fifth month of the seventh year of the king.
9 Kajti na prvi dan prvega meseca je začel iti gor iz Babilona, in na prvi dan petega meseca je prišel v Jeruzalem, glede na dobro roko njegovega Boga nad njim.
He had begun the journey from Babylon on the first day of the first month, and he arrived in Jerusalem on the first day of the fifth month, for the gracious hand of his God was upon him.
10 Kajti Ezra je pripravil svoje srce, da išče Gospodovo postavo in da jo izpolnjuje in da v Izraelu uči zakone in sodbe.
For Ezra had set his heart to study the Law of the LORD, to practice it, and to teach its statutes and ordinances in Israel.
11 Torej to je kopija pisma, ki ga je kralj Artakserks izročil Ezru, duhovniku, pisarju, celó pisarju besed Gospodovih zapovedi in njegovih zakonov Izraelu.
This is the text of the letter King Artaxerxes had given to Ezra the priest and scribe, an expert in the commandments and statutes of the LORD to Israel:
12 ›Artakserks, kralj kraljev, duhovniku Ezru, pisarju postave Boga iz nebes, popoln mir itd.
Artaxerxes, king of kings. To Ezra the priest, the scribe of the Law of the God of heaven: Greetings.
13 Izdajam odlok, da vsi izmed Izraelovega ljudstva in izmed njegovih duhovnikov in Lévijevcev v mojem območju, ki so voljni po svoji lastni svobodni volji, da gredo gor v Jeruzalem, gredo s teboj.
I hereby decree that any volunteers among the Israelites in my kingdom, including the priests and Levites, may go up with you to Jerusalem.
14 Ker si poslan od kralja in od njegovih sedmih svetovalcev, da poizveš glede Juda in Jeruzalema, glede na postavo svojega Boga, ki je v tvoji roki
You are sent by the king and his seven counselors to evaluate Judah and Jerusalem according to the Law of your God, which is in your hand.
15 in da odneseš srebro in zlato, ki so ga kralj in njegovi svetovalci velikodušno darovali Izraelovemu Bogu, katerega prebivališče je v Jeruzalemu
Moreover, you are to take with you the silver and gold that the king and his counselors have freely offered to the God of Israel, whose dwelling is in Jerusalem,
16 in vse srebro in zlato, ki ga lahko najdeš po vsej babilonski provinci s prostovoljnimi daritvami ljudstva in duhovnikov, prostovoljno darovanega za hišo njihovega Boga, ki je v Jeruzalemu,
together with all the silver and gold you may find in all the province of Babylon, as well as the freewill offerings of the people and priests to the house of their God in Jerusalem.
17 da boš s tem denarjem lahko naglo kupil bikce, ovne, jagnjeta, z njihovimi jedilnimi daritvami in njihovimi pitnimi daritvami in jih daroval na oltarju hiše svojega Boga, ki je v Jeruzalemu.
With this money, therefore, you are to buy as many bulls, rams, and lambs as needed, together with their grain offerings and drink offerings, and offer them on the altar at the house of your God in Jerusalem.
18 In karkoli se bo zdelo dobro tebi in tvojim bratom, da storite s preostankom srebra in zlata, to storite po volji svojega Boga.
You and your brothers may do whatever seems best with the rest of the silver and gold, according to the will of your God.
19 Tudi posode, ki so ti dane za službo hiše svojega Boga, te izroči pred Bogom Jeruzalema.
You must deliver to the God of Jerusalem all the articles given to you for the service of the house of your God.
20 Karkoli več bo treba za hišo tvojega Boga, kar boš imel priložnost dati, daj to iz kraljeve zakladne hiše.
And if anything else is needed for the house of your God that you may have occasion to supply, you may pay for it from the royal treasury.
21 Jaz, torej jaz, kralj Artakserks, izdajam odlok vsem zakladnikom, ki so onkraj reke, da karkoli bo duhovnik Ezra, pisar postave nebeškega Boga, zahteval od vas, naj bo to naglo storjeno,
I, King Artaxerxes, decree to all the treasurers west of the Euphrates: Whatever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the Law of the God of heaven, may require of you, it must be provided promptly,
22 do sto talentov srebra in do sto mer pšenice in do sto čebrov vina in do sto kadi olja, soli pa brez predpisa.
up to a hundred talents of silver, a hundred cors of wheat, a hundred baths of wine, a hundred baths of olive oil, and salt without limit.
23 Karkoli je zapovedano od Boga iz nebes, naj bo to marljivo storjeno za hišo Boga iz nebes, kajti zakaj bi bil bes zoper kraljestvo kralja in njegovih sinov?
Whatever is commanded by the God of heaven must be done diligently for His house. For why should wrath fall on the realm of the king and his sons?
24 Prav tako vam potrjujemo, da glede kateregakoli izmed duhovnikov in Lévijevcev, pevcev, vratarjev, Netinimcev ali služabnikov te Božje hiše, to ne bo zakonito, da bi nanje naložili pristojbino, davek in carino.
And be advised that you have no authority to impose tribute, duty, or toll on any of the priests, Levites, singers, doorkeepers, temple servants, or other servants of this house of God.
25 Ti pa Ezra, po modrosti svojega Boga, ki je v tvoji roki, postavi oblastnike in sodnike, ki bodo lahko sodili vse ljudstvo, ki je onkraj reke [Evfrat], vse takšne, ki poznajo zakone tvojega Boga; in učite tiste, ki jih ne poznajo.
And you, Ezra, according to the wisdom of your God which you possess, are to appoint magistrates and judges to judge all the people west of the Euphrates—all who know the laws of your God. And you are to teach these laws to anyone who does not know them.
26 Kdorkoli pa ne bo izpolnjeval postave tvojega Boga in kraljeve postave, naj bo nad njim naglo izvršena sodba, bodisi je to s smrtjo ali izgnanstvom ali zaplembo dobrin ali z ujetništvom.‹
If anyone does not keep the law of your God and the law of the king, let a strict judgment be executed against him, whether death, banishment, confiscation of property, or imprisonment.
27 Blagoslovljen bodi Gospod, Bog naših očetov, ki je takšno stvar, kot je ta, položil na kraljevo srce, da olepša Gospodovo hišo, ki je v Jeruzalemu
Blessed be the LORD, the God of our fathers, who has put into the heart of the king to so honor the house of the LORD in Jerusalem,
28 in mi razširil usmiljenje pred kraljem in njegovimi svetovalci in pred vsemi mogočnimi kraljevimi princi. In okrepljen sem bil, ko je bila roka Gospoda, mojega Boga, nad menoj in iz Izraela sem zbral skupaj vodilne može, da gredo gor z menoj.
and who has shown me favor before the king, his counselors, and all his powerful officials. And because the hand of the LORD my God was upon me, I took courage and gathered the leaders of Israel to return with me.
