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 and tenth month of Zedekiah king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came with all his army against Jerusalem and besieged it.
2 In v enajstem letu Sedekíja, v četrtem mesecu, devetega dne meseca, je bilo mesto predrto.
In the eleventh year and fourth month of Zedekiah, on the ninth day of the month, the city was broken into.
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.
Then all the officials of the king of Babylon came and sat in the middle gate: Nebo-Sarsekim, Samgar Nebo, and Sarsechim, an important official. Nebo-Sarsekim was a high official and all the rest were the officials 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.
It happened that when Zedekiah, king of Judah, and all his fighting men saw them, they fled. They went out at night from the city by the king's garden path, through the gate between the two walls. The king went out in the direction of the Arabah.
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 army of Chaldeans pursued them and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of the Jordan River valley near Jericho. Then they captured him and brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, at Riblah in the land of Hamath, where Nebuchadnezzar passed sentence on him.
6 Potem je babilonski kralj usmrtil Sedekíjeve sinove v Ribli, pred njegovimi očmi. Prav tako je babilonski kraj usmrtil vse Judove plemiče.
The king of Babylon slaughtered Zedekiah's sons before his own eyes at Riblah. He also slaughtered all the noblemen of Judah.
7 Poleg tega je iztaknil Sedekíjeve oči in ga zvezal z verigami, da ga odvede v Babilon.
Then he put out Zedekiah's eyes and bound him in bronze chains in order to take him to Babylon.
8 Kaldejci so požgali kraljevo hišo in hiše ljudi z ognjem in porušili zidove Jeruzalema.
Then the Chaldeans burned the king's house and the people's houses. They also tore 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.
Nebuzaradan, the commander of the king's bodyguards, took into exile the rest of the people who were left in the city. This included the people who had deserted to the Chaldeans and the rest of the people who were left in the city.
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 commander of the king's bodyguards allowed the poorest people who had nothing for themselves to remain in the land of Judah. He gave them vineyards and fields on that same day.
11 Torej babilonski kralj Nebukadnezar je dal naročilo glede Jeremija Nebuzaradánu, poveljniku straže, rekoč:
Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had given an order about Jeremiah to Nebuzaradan the commander of the king's bodyguards. He had said,
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 care for him. Do not harm him. Do for him anything he tells you.”
13 Tako je poslal Nebuzaradána, poveljnika straže, Nebušazbána, Rab-sarisa, Nergál Sarécerja, Rab-maga in vse kralje babilonskih princev;
So Nebuzaradan the commander of the king's bodyguards, Nebushazban the high eunuch, Nergal-Sharezer the high official, and all the most important officials of the king of Babylon sent men out.
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.
Their men took Jeremiah from the courtyard of the guard and entrusted him to Gedaliah son of Ahikam son of Shaphan, to take him home, so Jeremiah stayed among the people.
15 Torej beseda od Gospoda je prišla Jeremiju, medtem ko je bil zaprt na dvorišču ječe, rekoč:
Now the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah while he was under arrest in the courtyard of the guard, 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.
“Speak to Ebed-Melek the Cushite and say, 'Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this: See, I am about to carry out my words against this city for disaster and not for good. For they will all come true before you on that day.
17 Toda tebe bom na ta dan osvobodil, ‹ govori Gospod: ›in ne boš izročen v roko mož, ki se jih bojiš.
But I will rescue you on that day—this is Yahweh's declaration—and you will not be given into the hand of the men whom you fear.
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 certainly rescue you. You will not fall by the sword. You will escape with your life, since you trust in me—this was Yahweh's declaration.'”
