< Jeremija 39 >
1 V devetem letu Judovega kralja Sedekíja, v desetem mesecu, je prišel babilonski kralj Nebukadnezar in vsa njegova vojska, zoper Jeruzalem in ga oblegal.
In the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, came Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon and all his army against Jerusalem, and they besieged it.
2 In v enajstem letu Sedekíja, v četrtem mesecu, devetega dne meseca, je bilo mesto predrto.
And in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth day of the month, the city was broken up.
3 Vsi princi babilonskega kralja so vstopili in sedli v srednja velika vrata, celó Nergál Sarécer, Samgár Nebú, Sar Sehím, Rab-saris, Nergál Sarécer, Rab–mag, z vsem preostankom princev babilonskega kralja.
And all the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate, even Nergalsharezer, Samgarnebo, Sarsechim, Rabsaris, Nergalsharezer, Rabmag, with all the residue of the princes of the king of Babylon.
4 Pripetilo se je, da ko so jih Judov kralj Sedekíja in vsi bojevniki zagledali, potem so zbežali in odšli naprej iz mesta ponoči po poti kraljevega vrta, ob velikih vratih med obema zidovoma, in odšel je ven po poti ravnine.
And it came to pass, that when Zedekiah the king of Judah saw them, and all the men of war, then they fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the way of the king’s garden, by the gate between the two walls: and he went out the way of the plain.
5 Toda kaldejska vojska jih je zasledovala in Sedekíja dohitela na ravninah Jerihe. Ko so ga prijeli, so ga privedli gor k babilonskemu kralju Nebukadnezarju v Riblo, v Hamátovo deželo, kjer je ta podal razsodbo nad njim.
But the Chaldeans’ army pursued after them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho: and when they had taken him, they brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he gave judgment on him.
6 Potem je babilonski kralj usmrtil Sedekíjeve sinove v Ribli, pred njegovimi očmi. Prav tako je babilonski kraj usmrtil vse Judove plemiče.
Then the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes: also the king of Babylon slew all the nobles of Judah.
7 Poleg tega je iztaknil Sedekíjeve oči in ga zvezal z verigami, da ga odvede v Babilon.
Moreover he put out Zedekiah’s eyes, and bound him with chains, to carry him to Babylon.
8 Kaldejci so požgali kraljevo hišo in hiše ljudi z ognjem in porušili zidove Jeruzalema.
And the Chaldeans burned the king’s house, and the houses of the people, with fire, and broke down the walls of Jerusalem.
9 Potem je Nebuzaradán, poveljnik straže odvedel ujetništvo v Babilon, preostanek ljudstva, ki je ostal v mestu in tiste, ki so pobegnili proč, ki so prebegnili k njemu, s preostankom ljudstva, ki je preostalo.
Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive into Babylon the remnant of the people that remained in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to him, with the rest of the people that remained.
10 Toda Nebuzaradán, poveljnik straže je pustil revne izmed ljudstva, ki niso imeli ničesar, v Judovi deželi in jim obenem dal vinograde in polja.
But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poor of the people, which had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time.
11 Torej babilonski kralj Nebukadnezar je dal naročilo glede Jeremija Nebuzaradánu, poveljniku straže, rekoč:
Now Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon gave charge concerning Jeremiah to Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, saying,
12 »Vzemi ga in dobro glej nanj in ne stori mu ničesar hudega, temveč mu stori celo tako, kakor ti bo rekel.«
Take him, and look well to him, and do him no harm; but do to him even as he shall say to you.
13 Tako je poslal Nebuzaradána, poveljnika straže, Nebušazbána, Rab-sarisa, Nergál Sarécerja, Rab-maga in vse kralje babilonskih princev;
So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard sent, and Nebushasban, Rabsaris, and Nergalsharezer, Rabmag, and all the king of Babylon’s princes;
14 celo oni so poslali in vzeli Jeremija z dvorišča ječe ter ga predali Gedaljáju, sinu Ahikáma, sinu Šafána, da bi ga odvedel domov. Tako je prebival med ljudstvom.
Even they sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the prison, and committed him to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, that he should carry him home: so he dwelled among the people.
15 Torej beseda od Gospoda je prišla Jeremiju, medtem ko je bil zaprt na dvorišču ječe, rekoč:
Now the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the court of the prison, saying,
16 »Pojdi in spregovori Etiopijcu Ebed Melehu, rekoč: ›Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki, Izraelov Bog: ›Glej, svoje besede bom privedel nad to mesto v zlo in ne v dobro in le-te bodo na ta dan dovršene pred teboj.
Go and speak to Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring my words on this city for evil, and not for good; and they shall be accomplished in that day before you.
17 Toda tebe bom na ta dan osvobodil, ‹ govori Gospod: ›in ne boš izročen v roko mož, ki se jih bojiš.
But I will deliver you in that day, says the LORD: and you shall not be given into the hand of the men of whom you are afraid.
18 Kajti jaz te bom zagotovo osvobodil in ne boš padel pod mečem, temveč ti bo tvoje življenje za plen, ker si svoje zaupanje položil vame, ‹ govori Gospod.«
For I will surely deliver you, and you shall not fall by the sword, but your life shall be for a prey to you: because you have put your trust in me, says the LORD.
