Ezra 7
1 Now after these things, during the reign of Artaxerxes, the king of the Persians, Ezra, the son of Seraiah, the son of Azariah, the son of Hilkiah,
Torej po teh stvareh, v kraljevanju perzijskega kralja Artakserksa, je Ezra, sin Serajája, sinú Azarjája, sinú Hilkijája,
2 the son of Shallum, the son of Zadok, the son of Ahitub,
sinú Šalúma, sinú Cadóka, sinú Ahitúba,
3 the son of Amariah, the son of Azariah, the son of Meraioth,
sinú Amarjája, sinú Azarjája, sinú Merajóta,
4 the son of Zerahiah, the son of Uzzi, the son of Bukki,
sinú Zerahjája, sinú Uzíja, sinú Bukíja,
5 the son of Abishua, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, priest from the beginning,
sinú Abišúa, sinú Pinhása, sinú Eleazarja, sinú Arona, vélikega duhovnika;
6 this same Ezra, ascended from Babylon; and he was a proficient scribe in the law of Moses, which the Lord God gave to Israel. And the king granted to him his every petition. For the hand of the Lord, his God, was over him.
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.
7 And some from the sons of Israel, and from the sons of the priests, and from the sons of the Levites, and from the singing men, and from the gatekeepers, and from the temple servants ascended to Jerusalem, in the seventh year of king Artaxerxes.
In tam so šli gor nekateri izmed Izraelovih otrok in izmed duhovnikov, Lévijevcev, pevcev, vratarjev in Netinimcev v Jeruzalem, v sedmem letu kralja Artakserksa.
8 And they arrived at Jerusalem in the fifth month, in the same seventh year of the king.
V petem mesecu je ta prišel v Jeruzalem, kar je bilo v sedmem letu kralja.
9 For on the first day of the first month, he began to ascend from Babylon, and on the first day of the fifth month, he arrived at Jerusalem. For the good hand of his God was over him.
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.
10 For Ezra prepared his heart, so that he might search the law of the Lord, and so that he might keep and teach precept and judgment in Israel.
Kajti Ezra je pripravil svoje srce, da išče Gospodovo postavo in da jo izpolnjuje in da v Izraelu uči zakone in sodbe.
11 Now this is a copy of the letter of the edict, which king Artaxerxes gave to Ezra, the priest, a scribe well-taught in the words and precepts of the Lord and in his ceremonies in Israel:
Torej to je kopija pisma, ki ga je kralj Artakserks izročil Ezru, duhovniku, pisarju, celó pisarju besed Gospodovih zapovedi in njegovih zakonov Izraelu.
12 “Artaxerxes, king of kings, to Ezra, the priest, a very learned scribe of the law of the God of heaven: a greeting.
›Artakserks, kralj kraljev, duhovniku Ezru, pisarju postave Boga iz nebes, popoln mir itd.
13 It has been decreed by me, that whosoever wishes, among the people of Israel and their priests and Levites within my kingdom, to go to Jerusalem, may go with you.
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.
14 For you have been sent from the face of the king and his seven counselors, so that you may visit Judea and Jerusalem by the law of your God, which is in your hand,
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
15 and so that you may carry the silver and gold, which the king and his counselors have freely offered to the God of Israel, whose tabernacle is in Jerusalem.
in da odneseš srebro in zlato, ki so ga kralj in njegovi svetovalci velikodušno darovali Izraelovemu Bogu, katerega prebivališče je v Jeruzalemu
16 And all the silver and gold, as much as you will find in the entire province of Babylon, and which the people will wish to offer, and which some of the priests will offer freely to the house of their God, which is in Jerusalem,
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,
17 accept it freely. And with this money, carefully purchase calves, rams, lambs, and their sacrifices and libations, and offer these upon the altar of the temple of your God, which is in Jerusalem.
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.
18 But also, whatever it will please you and your brothers to do with the remainder of the silver and gold, do so in accord with the will of your God.
In karkoli se bo zdelo dobro tebi in tvojim bratom, da storite s preostankom srebra in zlata, to storite po volji svojega Boga.
19 Likewise, the vessels that have been given to you for the ministry of the house of your God, deliver these to the sight of God in Jerusalem.
Tudi posode, ki so ti dane za službo hiše svojega Boga, te izroči pred Bogom Jeruzalema.
20 Then, whatever more will be needed for the house of your God, as much as is necessary for you to spend, it shall be given from the treasury, and from the king’s finances,
Karkoli več bo treba za hišo tvojega Boga, kar boš imel priložnost dati, daj to iz kraljeve zakladne hiše.
21 and by me. I, king Artaxerxes, have appointed and decreed to all the keepers of the public treasury, those who are beyond the river, that whatever Ezra, the priest, a scribe of the law of the God of heaven, shall ask of you, you shall provide it without delay,
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,
22 even up to one hundred talents of silver, and up to one hundred cors of wheat, and up to one hundred baths of wine, and up to one hundred baths of oil, and truly salt without measure.
do sto talentov srebra in do sto mer pšenice in do sto čebrov vina in do sto kadi olja, soli pa brez predpisa.
23 All that pertains to the rite of the God of heaven, let it be distributed scrupulously to the house of the God of heaven, lest perhaps he may become angry against the kingdom of the king and his sons.
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?
24 Likewise, we would make known to you, about all the priests, and the Levites, and the singers, and the gatekeepers, and the temple servants, and the ministers of the house of this God, that you have no authority to impose tax, or tribute, or duty upon them.
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.
25 But as for you, Ezra, in accord with the wisdom of your God, which is in your hand, appoint judges and magistrates, so that they may judge the entire people, which is beyond the river, especially so that they may know the law of your God, but also so as to teach the ignorant freely.
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.
26 And anyone who will not diligently keep the law of your God, and the law of the king, judgment shall be upon him, either to death, or to exile, or to the confiscation of his goods, or certainly to prison.”
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.‹
27 Blessed be the Lord, the God of our fathers, who has put this into the heart of the king, so that he may glorify the house of the Lord, which is in Jerusalem.
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
28 For he has turned his mercy toward me in the sight of the king, and his counselors, and all the powerful leaders of the king. And so, having been strengthened by the hand of the Lord, my God, which was upon me, I gathered together some of the leaders of Israel, those who were to go up with me.
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.
