Ezra 7
1 Torej po teh stvareh, v kraljevanju perzijskega kralja Artakserksa, je Ezra, sin Serajája, sinú Azarjája, sinú Hilkijája,
Now after these things, in the reign of Artachshasta king of Persia, Ezra the 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 went up from Babylon: and he was a ready scribe in the law of Moses, which the LORD, the God of Israel, had given; and the king granted him all his request, according to the hand of the LORD his God on 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.
There went up some of the children of Israel, and of the priests, and the Levites, and the singers, and the gatekeepers, and the Nethinim, to Jerusalem, in the seventh year of Artachshasta the king.
8 V petem mesecu je ta prišel v Jeruzalem, kar je bilo v sedmem letu kralja.
He came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which was in 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.
For on the first day of the first month he began to go up from Babylon; and on the first day of the fifth month he came to Jerusalem, for the good hand of his God was on 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 seek the law of the LORD, and to do it, and to teach in Israel statutes and ordinances.
11 Torej to je kopija pisma, ki ga je kralj Artakserks izročil Ezru, duhovniku, pisarju, celó pisarju besed Gospodovih zapovedi in njegovih zakonov Izraelu.
Now this is the copy of the letter that the king Artachshasta gave to Ezra the priest, the scribe, even the scribe of the words of the commandments of the LORD, and of his statutes to Israel:
12 ›Artakserks, kralj kraljev, duhovniku Ezru, pisarju postave Boga iz nebes, popoln mir itd.
Artachshasta, king of kings, to Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, perfect and so forth.
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 make a decree, that all those of the people of Israel, and their priests and the Levites, in my realm, who are minded of their own free will to go to Jerusalem, go with you.
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
Because you are sent of the king and his seven counselors, to inquire concerning 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
and to carry the silver and gold, which the king and his counselors have freely offered to the God of Israel, whose habitation 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,
and all the silver and gold that you shall find in all the province of Babylon, with the freewill offering of the people, and of the priests, offering willingly for the house of their God which is 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.
therefore you shall with all diligence buy with this money bulls, rams, lambs, with their meal offerings and their drink offerings, and shall offer them on the altar of the house of your God which is 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.
Whatever shall seem good to you and to your brothers to do with the rest of the silver and the gold, do that after the will of your God.
19 Tudi posode, ki so ti dane za službo hiše svojega Boga, te izroči pred Bogom Jeruzalema.
The vessels that are given to you for the service of the house of your God, deliver before the God of Jerusalem.
20 Karkoli več bo treba za hišo tvojega Boga, kar boš imel priložnost dati, daj to iz kraljeve zakladne hiše.
Whatever more shall be needful for the house of your God, which you shall have occasion to bestow, bestow it out of the king's treasure house.
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, even I Artachshasta the king, do make a decree to all the treasurers who are beyond the River, that whatever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, shall require of you, it be done with all diligence,
22 do sto talentov srebra in do sto mer pšenice in do sto čebrov vina in do sto kadi olja, soli pa brez predpisa.
to one hundred talents of silver, and to one hundred measures of wheat, and to one hundred baths of wine, and to one hundred baths of oil, and salt without prescribing how much.
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, let it be done exactly for the house of the God of heaven; for why should there be wrath against 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.
Also we inform you, that touching any of the priests and Levites, the singers, doorkeepers, Nethinim, or servants of this house of God, it shall not be lawful to impose tribute, custom, or toll, on them.
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.
You, Ezra, after the wisdom of your God who is in your hand, appoint magistrates and judges, who may judge all the people who are beyond the River, all such as know the laws of your God; and teach him who doesn't 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.‹
Whoever will not do the law of your God, and the law of the king, let judgment be executed on him with all diligence, whether it be to death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of goods, or to 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 such a thing as this in the king's heart, to beautify the house of the LORD which is 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 has extended loving kindness to me before the king, and his counselors, and before all the king's powerful officers. I was strengthened according to the hand of the LORD my God on me, and I gathered together out of Israel chief men to go up with me.
