Ezra 6
1 Tada, po naredbi kralja Darija, uzeše tražiti u Babilonu, u spremištu gdje je bila pismohrana,
Then king Darius gave orders, and search was made in the house of the rolls, where the treasures were laid up in Babylon.
2 i nađoše u Ekbatani, tvrđavi u medijskoj pokrajini, svitak s ovom poveljom: “Na spomen.
And there was found at Achmetha in the fortress that is in the province of Media a roll, and therein was a record thus written:
3 Prve godine kraljevanja Kira proglasio je kralj Kir: Dom Božji u Jeruzalemu. Dom neka se sagradi kao mjesto gdje će se prinositi žrtve i gdje će se donositi prinosi za paljenje. Neka bude visok šezdeset lakata i širok šezdeset lakata.
In the first year of king Cyrus, king Cyrus made a decree [concerning] the house of God at Jerusalem: Let the house be built for a place where they offer sacrifices, and let its foundations be solidly laid; its height sixty cubits, its breadth sixty cubits,
4 Tri reda neka budu od velikog kamenja, a jedan od drveta. Trošak će se podmiriti iz kraljevskog dvora.
[with] three rows of great stones, and a row of new timber; and let the expenses be given out of the king's house:
5 Povrh toga, posuđe zlatno i srebrno iz Doma Božjeg koje Nabukodonozor bijaše uzeo iz svetišta u Jeruzalemu i prenio u Babilon neka se vrati i bude na svome mjestu u svetištu jeruzalemskom i neka se postavi u Domu Božjem.”
and also let the golden and silver vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple that is at Jerusalem and brought to Babylon, be restored and brought again to the temple that is at Jerusalem, in their place; and thou shalt put [them] in the house of God.
6 “Sada, dakle, Tatnaju, satrape s onu stranu Rijeke, Šetar Boznaju i drugovi vaši poslanici s onu stranu Rijeke, udaljite se odatle!
Therefore Tatnai, governor beyond the river, Shethar-boznai, and your companions the Apharsachites, who are beyond the river, be ye far from thence:
7 Pustite neka taj Dom Božji grade upravitelji i starješine židovske. Dom Božji treba sagraditi na njegovu prvotnom mjestu.
let the work of this house of God alone; let the governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews build this house of God in its place.
8 Evo mojih naredaba o vašem držanju prema starješinama judejskim kako bi se ponovo sagradio taj Dom Božji: od kraljevskog blaga - to jest od danka s onu stranu Rijeke - neka se plaća onim ljudima brižljivo, bez prijekida,
Moreover, I give orders what ye shall do to these elders of the Jews, for the building of this house of God: that of the king's goods, of the tribute beyond the river, expenses be diligently given to these men, that they be not hindered.
9 i što im bude trebalo za žrtve paljenice Bogu neba: junaca, ovnova i jaganjaca, i pšenice, soli, vina i ulja, neka im se redovito daje svakoga dana, prema uputama svećenika u Jeruzalemu.
And that which they have need of, both young bullocks and rams and lambs, for the burnt-offerings to the God of the heavens, wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the appointment of the priests that are at Jerusalem, let it be given them day by day without fail;
10 Neka prinose žrtve na ugodan miris Bogu neba, neka mole za život kralja i njegovih sinova.
that they may present sweet odours to the God of the heavens, and pray for the life of the king and of his sons.
11 Naređujem osim toga: tko god prekrši ovu naredbu, neka mu se izvadi greda iz kuće pa neka na njoj bude pogubljen, a kuća da mu zato postane bunište.
Also I have given order that whosoever shall alter this rescript, let timber be pulled down from his house, and being set up, let him be hanged thereon, and let his house be made a dunghill for this.
12 I Bog, koji je ondje nastanio svoje Ime, neka obori svakog kralja i narod koji bi se drznuo da prekrši moju naredbu i sruši Dom Božji u Jeruzalemu! Ja, Darije, izdao sam ovu zapovijed. Neka se točno vrši!”
And the God that has caused his name to dwell there overthrow every king and people that shall put forth their hand to alter [or] to destroy this house of God which is at Jerusalem. I Darius have given [this] order; let it be done diligently.
13 Tada Tatnaj, satrap s onu stranu Rijeke, Šetar Boznaj i njihovi drugovi učiniše onako kako je zapovjedio kralj Darije.
Then Tatnai, governor on this side the river, Shethar-boznai, and their companions, because of that which king Darius had sent, did so diligently.
14 A židovske su starješine nastavile uspješno graditi po nadahnuću proroka Hagaja i Zaharije, sina Adonova. Dovršili su gradnju po naredbi Boga Izraelova i po naredbi Kira i Darija i Artakserksa, kralja perzijskoga.
And the elders of the Jews built; and they prospered through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. And they built and completed [it] according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the commandment of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.
15 Hram je zavšen dvadeset i trećeg dana mjeseca Adara. Bilo je to šeste godine vladavine kralja Darija.
And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of king Darius.
16 Izraelci - svećenici, leviti i ostatak povratnika iz sužanjstva - radosno posvetiše taj Dom Božji.
And the children of Israel, the priests and the Levites, and the rest of the children of the captivity, kept the dedication of this house of God with joy;
17 Žrtvovaše za posvećenje Doma Božjega stotinu junaca, dvije stotine ovnova, četiri stotine janjaca i, kao žrtvu za grijehe svega Izraela, dvanaest jaraca - prema broju plemena Izraelovih.
and they presented at the dedication of this house of God a hundred bullocks, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs, and for a sin-offering for all Israel, twelve he-goats, according to the number of the tribes of Israel.
18 Zatim postaviše svećenike po njihovim redovima i levite po njihovim razredima za službu Domu Božjem u Jeruzalemu, kako je propisano u knjizi Mojsijevoj.
And they set the priests in their classes, and the Levites in their divisions, for the service of God, which is at Jerusalem: as it is written in the book of Moses.
19 Povratnici iz sužanjstva slavili su Pashu četrnaestog dana prvoga mjeseca.
And the children of the captivity held the passover upon the fourteenth of the first month.
20 Svi su se leviti, kao jedan čovjek, očistili: svi su bili čisti; žrtvovali su pashu za sve povratnike iz ropstva, za svoju braću svećenike i za sebe.
For the priests and the Levites had purified themselves as one [man]: they were all pure; and they killed the passover for all the children of the captivity, and for their brethren the priests, and for themselves.
21 Blagovali su pashu Izraelci koji su se vratili iz ropstva i svi oni koji su im se, prekinuvši s nečistoćom naroda zemlje, pridružili da traže Jahvu, Boga Izraelova.
And the children of Israel that were come back out of captivity, and all such as had separated themselves to them from the filthiness of the nations of the land, to seek Jehovah the God of Israel, did eat;
22 I svetkovahu radosno Blagdan beskvasnih hljebova sedam dana: jer ih je Jahve ispunio radošću i obratio prema njima srce asirskog kralja da ojača njihove ruke u radovima oko Doma Boga, Boga Izraelova.
and they kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy; for Jehovah had made them joyful, and turned the heart of the king of Assyria to them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.
