Ezra 10
1 Dok je Ezra molio i priznavao grijehe, plačući i ležeći pred Domom Božjim, skupilo se oko njega mnoštvo Izraelaca, ljudi, žena i djece: i taj je narod gorko plakao.
Now while Ezra prayed and made confession, weeping and casting himself down before God’s house, there was gathered together to him out of Israel a very great assembly of men and women and children; for the people wept very bitterly.
2 Tada Šekanija, sin Jehielov, jedan od sinova Elamovih, uzimajući riječ reče Ezri: “Mi smo izdali Boga svoga ženeći se tuđinkama iz naroda zemlje. Ali još ima nade Izraelu.
Shecaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered Ezra, “We have trespassed against our God, and have married foreign women of the peoples of the land. Yet now there is hope for Israel concerning this thing.
3 Obnovimo sada Savez s Bogom svojim: obećajmo da ćemo, prema savjetu moga gospodara i onih koji osjećaju strahopočitanje prema zapovijedi Boga našega, otpustiti svoje žene tuđinke i djecu koju su rodile. Učinimo dakle po Zakonu!
Now therefore let’s make a covenant with our God to put away all the wives and those who are born of them, according to the counsel of my lord and of those who tremble at the commandment of our God. Let it be done according to the law.
4 Ustani, jer to je tvoja dužnost, a mi ćemo biti uza te. Budi hrabar i na djelo!”
Arise, for the matter belongs to you and we are with you. Be courageous, and do it.”
5 Tada ustade Ezra i zakle glavare svećeničke, i levite, i sve Izraelce da će učiniti kako im bijaše rekao. I zakleše se.
Then Ezra arose, and made the chiefs of the priests, the Levites, and all Israel to swear that they would do according to this word. So they swore.
6 Ezra se udalji ispred Doma Božjega i uđe u dvoranu Johanana, sina Elijašibova. Ondje provede noć i nije jeo ni kruha niti je pio vode jer tugovaše zbog nevjernosti povratnika.
Then Ezra rose up from before God’s house, and went into the room of Jehohanan the son of Eliashib. When he came there, he didn’t eat bread or drink water, for he mourned because of the trespass of the exiles.
7 Zatim je objavljeno u Judeji i Jeruzalemu svima povratnicima da se skupe u Jeruzalemu:
They made a proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem to all the children of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together to Jerusalem;
8 a tko ne bude došao u Jeruzalem za tri dana, toga će pozvati glavari i starješine, bit će mu zaplijenjeno imanje i isključit će ga iz zbora povratnika.
and that whoever didn’t come within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and the elders, all his possessions should be forfeited, and he himself separated from the assembly of the captivity.
9 Svi su se ljudi od Jude i Benjamina sakupili tako za tri dana u Jeruzalemu. Bilo je to devetoga mjeseca, dvadesetoga dana u mjesecu. Sav se narod smjestio na trgu pred Domom Božjim, dršćući zbog svega toga i zbog jake kiše.
Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered themselves together to Jerusalem within the three days. It was the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month; and all the people sat in the wide place in front of God’s house, trembling because of this matter, and because of the great rain.
10 Tada, ustavši, svećenik Ezra reče im: “Vi ste se iznevjerili kad ste se oženili tuđinkama. Tako ste povećali grijeh Izraelov!
Ezra the priest stood up and said to them, “You have trespassed, and have married foreign women, increasing the guilt of Israel.
11 Ali podajte sada hvalu Jahvi, Bogu otaca svojih, i izvršite volju njegovu te se rastavite od naroda zemlje i od žena tuđinki.”
Now therefore make confession to Yahweh, the God of your fathers and do his pleasure. Separate yourselves from the peoples of the land and from the foreign women.”
12 Sav je zbor odgovorio snažnim glasom: “Jest, dužnost nam je učiniti po tvome savjetu!
Then all the assembly answered with a loud voice, “We must do as you have said concerning us.
13 Ali naroda ima mnogo i dažd nahodi: vani se ne može stajati. Osim toga, nije to posao od dan-dva, jer nas je mnogo koji smo u tome sagriješili.
But the people are many, and it is a time of much rain, and we are not able to stand outside. This is not a work of one day or two, for we have greatly transgressed in this matter.
14 Mogu nas na zajedničkom zboru zastupati naši glavari: svi koji su po našim gradovima oženjeni tuđinkama mogu doći u određeno vrijeme u pratnji starješina i sudaca svakoga grada, sve dok ne budemo odvratili gnjev Boga svojega zbog ovoga.”
Now let our princes be appointed for all the assembly, and let all those who are in our cities who have married foreign women come at appointed times, and with them the elders of every city and its judges, until the fierce wrath of our God is turned from us, until this matter is resolved.”
15 Samo Jonatan, sin Asahelov, i Jahzija, sin Tikvin, bijahu se usprotivili; a podupirahu ih Mešulam i levit Šabetaj.
Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahzeiah the son of Tikvah stood up against this; and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite helped them.
16 Povratnici učiniše tako: rastaše se. Svećenik Ezra izabra za pomoćnike glavare obitelji, prema njihovim domovima, i svi su bili poimence određeni. Počeli su zasjedati prvoga dana desetoga mjeseca da bi sve ispitali.
The children of the captivity did so. Ezra the priest, with certain heads of fathers’ households, after their fathers’ houses, and all of them by their names, were set apart; and they sat down in the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter.
17 I prvoga dana prvoga mjeseca završiše sa svima koji se bijahu oženili tuđinkama.
They finished with all the men who had married foreign women by the first day of the first month.
18 Među pripadnicima svećenstva evo koji bijahu oženjeni tuđinkama: između sinova Ješue, sina Josadakova, i među njegovom braćom: Maaseja, Eliezer, Jarib i Gedalija;
Among the sons of the priests there were found who had married foreign women: of the sons of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and his brothers: Maaseiah, Eliezer, Jarib, and Gedaliah.
19 oni dadoše svoju ruku da će otpustiti svoje žene i da će za svoj grijeh prinijeti ovna kao naknadnicu.
They gave their hand that they would put away their wives; and being guilty, they offered a ram of the flock for their guilt.
