Jeremija 37
1 Kralj Sedekíja, sin Jošíja, je zakraljeval namesto Jojakímovega sina Konija, ki ga je babilonski kralj Nebukadnezar postavil za kralja v Judovi deželi.
And reign doth king Zedekiah son of Josiah instead of Coniah son of Jehoiakim whom Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon had caused to reign in the land of Judah,
2 Toda niti on niti njegovi služabniki niti ljudstvo dežele ni prisluhnilo Gospodovim besedam, ki jih je govoril po preroku Jeremiju.
and he hath not hearkened, he, and his servants, and the people of the land, unto the words of Jehovah, that He spake by the hand of Jeremiah the prophet.
3 Kralj Sedekíja je poslal Šelemjájevega sina Juhála in duhovnika Cefanjája, Maasejájevega sina, k preroku Jeremiju, rekoč: »Moli za nas sedaj h Gospodu, našemu Bogu.«
And Zedekiah the king sendeth Jehucal son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah son of Maaseiah the priest, unto Jeremiah the prophet, saying, 'Pray, we beseech thee, for us unto Jehovah our God.'
4 Torej Jeremija je prihajal in odhajal ven med ljudstvom, kajti niso ga vtaknili v ječo.
And Jeremiah is coming in and going out in the midst of the people, (and they have not put him in the prison-house),
5 Potem je faraonova vojska prišla iz Egipta. Ko so Kaldejci, ki so oblegali Jeruzalem, slišali novice o njih, so se umaknili od Jeruzalema.
and the force of Pharaoh hath come out of Egypt, and the Chaldeans, who are laying siege against Jerusalem, hear their report, and go up from off Jerusalem.
6 Potem je prišla beseda od Gospoda preroku Jeremiju, rekoč:
And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah the prophet, saying:
7 »Tako govori Gospod, Izraelov Bog: ›Tako boš rekel Judovemu kralju, ki te je poslal k meni, da poizveduješ od mene: ›Glej, faraonova vojska, ki je prišla naprej, da vam pomaga, se bo vrnila v Egipt, v svojo lastno deželo.
'Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, Thus do ye say unto the king of Judah, who is sending you unto Me, to seek Me: Lo, the force of Pharaoh that is coming out to you for help hath turned back to its land, to Egypt,
8 Kaldejci pa bodo ponovno prišli in se borili zoper to mesto, ga zavzeli in požgali z ognjem.‹
and the Chaldeans have turned back, and fought against this city, and captured it, and burnt it with fire.
9 Tako govori Gospod: ›Ne zavajajte same sebe, rekoč: ›Kaldejci bodo zagotovo odšli od nas, ‹ kajti ne bodo odšli.
'Thus said Jehovah: Lift not up your souls saying, The Chaldeans surely go from off us, for they do not go;
10 Kajti čeprav bi udarili celotno vojsko Kaldejcev, ki se bori zoper vas in bi tam med njimi preostali samo ranjeni možje, bi se vendar vzdignili vsak človek v svojem šotoru in to mesto požgali z ognjem.‹«
for though ye had smitten all the force of the Chaldeans who are fighting with you, and there were left of them wounded men — each in his tent — they rise, and have burnt this city with fire.'
11 Pripetilo se je, ko je bila vojska Kaldejcev odrezana izpred Jeruzalema zaradi strahu pred faraonovo vojsko, da
And it hath come to pass, in the going up of the force of the Chaldeans from off Jerusalem, because of the force of Pharaoh,
12 je potem Jeremija odšel naprej iz Jeruzalema, da gre v Benjaminovo deželo, da bi se oddvojil tja, v sredo ljudstva.
that Jeremiah goeth out from Jerusalem to go [to] the land of Benjamin, to receive a portion thence in the midst of the people.
13 Ko je bil v velikih vratih Benjamina, je bil tam poveljnik straže, katerega ime je bilo Jirijá, sin Šelemjája, sin Hananjá, in ta je prijel preroka Jeremija, rekoč: »Ti bežiš stran h Kaldejcem.«
And it cometh to pass, he is at the gate of Benjamin, and there [is] a master of the ward — and his name is Irijah son of Shelemiah, son of Hananiah — and he catcheth Jeremiah the prophet, saying, 'Unto the Chaldeans thou art falling.'
14 Potem je Jeremija rekel: » To je napačno. Jaz ne bežim h Kaldejcem.« Toda ta mu ni prisluhnil. Tako je Jirijá prijel Jeremija in ga privedel k princem.
And Jeremiah saith, 'Falsehood — I am not falling unto the Chaldeans;' and he hath not hearkened unto him, and Irijah layeth hold on Jeremiah, and bringeth him in unto the heads,
15 Zakaj princi so bili ogorčeni nad Jeremijem, ga udarili in ga vtaknili v ječo, v hišo pisarja Jonatana, kajti le-to so naredili za ječo.
and the heads are wroth against Jeremiah, and have smitten him, and put him in the prison-house — the house of Jonathan the scribe, for it they had made for a prison-house.
16 Ko je Jeremija vstopil v jetniško jamo in v kabine, je Jeremija tam ostal mnogo dni.
When Jeremiah hath entered into the house of the dungeon, and unto the cells, then Jeremiah dwelleth there many days,
17 Potem je kralj Sedekíja poslal in ga potegnil ven. Kralj ga je na skrivnem vprašal v svoji hiši in rekel: »Ali je kakršnakoli beseda od Gospoda?« Jeremija je rekel: »Je, kajti, « je rekel, »izročen boš v roko babilonskega kralja.«
and the king Zedekiah sendeth, and taketh him, and the king asketh him in his house in secret, and saith, 'Is there a word from Jehovah?' And Jeremiah saith, 'There is,' and he saith, 'Into the hand of the king of Babylon thou art given.'
18 Poleg tega je Jeremija rekel kralju Sedekíju: »Kaj sem se pregrešil zoper tebe ali zoper tvoje služabnike ali zoper to ljudstvo, da ste me vtaknili v ječo?
And Jeremiah saith unto the king Zedekiah, 'What have I sinned against thee, and against thy servants, and against this people, that ye have given me unto a prison-house?
19 Kje so sedaj vaši preroki, ki so vam prerokovali, rekoč: ›Babilonski kralj ne bo prišel zoper vas niti zoper to deželo.‹
And where [are] your prophets who prophesied to you, saying, The king of Babylon doth not come in against you, and against this land?
20 Zatorej poslušaj sedaj, prosim te, oh moj gospod kralj. Naj bo moja ponižna prošnja, prosim te, sprejeta pred teboj, da mi ne povzročiš, da se vrnem k hiši pisarja Jonatana, da tam ne umrem.
And now, hearken, I pray thee, my lord, O king, let my supplication fall, I pray thee, before thee, and cause me not to return [to] the house of Jonathan the scribe, that I die not there.'
21 Potem je kralj Sedekíja zapovedal, da naj Jeremija pošljejo na dvorišče ječe in da mu dnevno dajejo kos kruha iz pekarske ulice, dokler ne bi bil ves kruh v mestu porabljen. Tako je Jeremija ostal na dvorišču ječe.
And the king Zedekiah commandeth, and they commit Jeremiah into the court of the prison, also to give to him a cake of bread daily from the bakers' street, till the consumption of all the bread of the city, and Jeremiah dwelleth in the court of the prison.
