Ezra 8
1 Evo glavara obitelji s rodoslovljem koji su sa mnom pošli iz Babilona za vladavine kralja Artakserksa:
Now these are the heads of families who were listed of those who went up with me from Babylon, when Artaxerxes was king.

4 od Pahat-Moabovih sinova: Elijoenaj, sin Zerahjin, i s njim dvije stotine muškaraca;

13 od posljednjih Adonikamovih sinova poimence: Elifelet, Jeiel i Šemaja, i s njima šezdeset muškaraca;
And of the sons of Adonikam, the last, whose names were Eliphelet, Jeuel, and Shemaiah; and with them sixty males.
14 i od sinova Bigvajevih: Utaj, sin Zabudov, i s njim sedamdeset muškaraca.
And of the sons of Bigvai, Uthai and Zabbud; and with them seventy males.
15 Sabrao sam ih kod rijeke koja teče prema Ahavi. Utaborili smo se za tri dana ondje. Pregledao sam svjetovnjake i svećenike, ali nisam ondje našao ni jednog levita.
And I made them come together by the river flowing to Ahava; and we were there in tents for three days: and after viewing the people and the priests I saw that no sons of Levi were there.
16 Tada sam poslao glavare Eliezera, Ariela, Šemaju, Elnatana, Jariba, Elnatana, Natana, Zahariju, Mešulama i učitelje Jojariba i Elnatana
Then I sent for Eliezer and Ariel and Shemaiah and Elnathan Jarib and Elnathan and Nathan and Zechariah and Meshullam, all responsible men; and for Joiarib and Elnathan, who were wise men.
17 i uputio sam ih Idonu, poglavaru mjesta Kasifje. Stavio sam u njihova usta riječi koje će reći Idonu i njegovoj braći koja su se nalazila u mjestu Kasifji da nam pribave sluge za Dom Boga našega.
And I sent them to Iddo the chief at the place Casiphia, and gave them orders what to say to Iddo and his brothers the Nethinim at the place Casiphia, so that they might come back to us with men to do the work of the house of our God.
18 Milostiva ruka Boga našega bijaše nad nama i oni nam dovedoše razumna čovjeka između sinova Mahlija, sina Levijeva, sina Izraelova: Šerebju s njegovim sinovima i braćom - njih osamnaest.
And by the help of our God they got for us Ish-sechel, one of the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel; and Sherebiah with his sons and brothers, eighteen;
19 Još Hašabju i s njim njegova brata Izaiju, sina Merarijeva, i njihove sinove: njih dvadeset.
And Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari, his brothers and their sons, twenty;
20 A od poslužitelja koje su David i glavari postavili levitima da im služe: dvije stotine i dvadeset poslužitelja. Svi su bili poimence zabilježeni.
And of the Nethinim, to whom David and the captains had given the work of helping the Levites, two hundred and twenty Nethinim, all of them specially named.
21 Ja sam ondje, kraj rijeke Ahave, proglasio post: da bismo se ponizili pred Bogom svojim i od njega izmolili sretan put sebi, svojoj djeci i svemu blagu svojem.
Then I gave orders for a time of going without food, there by the river Ahava, so that we might make ourselves low before our God in prayer, requesting from him a straight way for us and for our little ones and for all our substance.
22 Jer bih se stidio moliti od kralja vojske i konjanika da nas štite putem od neprijatelja; izjavili smo, naprotiv, kralju: “Ruka je Boga našega ispružena da blagoslovi sve one koji ga traže; njegova snaga i gnjev njegov nad onima su koji ga ostavljaju.”
For I would not, for shame, make request to the king for a band of armed men and horsemen to give us help against those who might make attacks on us on the way: for we had said to the king, The hand of our God is on his servants for good, but his power and his wrath are against all those who are turned away from him.
23 I tako smo postili i molili Boga svoga na ovu nakanu, i on nas usliša.
So we went without food, requesting our God for this: and his ear was open to our prayer.
24 Izabrao sam dvanaest glavara svećeničkih, Šerebju i Hašabju, i s njima desetoricu njihove braće;
So I put on one side twelve of the chiefs of the priests, Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brothers with them,
25 izmjerih im srebro, zlato i posuđe, darove koje su kralj, njegovi savjetnici, velikaši i svi Izraelci darovali za Dom Boga našega.
And gave to them by weight the silver and the gold and the vessels, all the offering for the house of our God which the king and his wise men and his captains and all Israel there present had given:
26 Izmjerih i stavih u njihove ruke šest stotina i pedeset talenata srebra, stotinu srebrnih posuda od po dva talenta, stotinu talenata zlata,
Measuring into their hands six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and silver vessels, a hundred talents' weight, and a hundred talents of gold,
27 dvadeset zlatnih čaša od tisuću darika i dva vrča od dobre pozlaćene mjedi, skupocjene kao zlato.
And twenty gold basins, of a thousand darics, and two vessels of the best bright brass, equal in value to gold.
28 I rekoh im: “Vi ste Jahvi posvećeni; ovo je posuđe posvećeno, ovo srebro i zlato dragovoljno je darovano Jahvi, Bogu otaca vaših.
And I said to them, You are holy to the Lord and the vessels are holy: and the silver and the gold are an offering freely given to the Lord, the God of your fathers.
29 Pazite i čuvajte ovo sve dok ne izmjerite pred glavarima svećeničkim i pred levitima i glavarima obitelji Izraelovih u Jeruzalemu, u dvoranama Doma Jahvina.”
Take care of them and keep them, till you put them on the scales before the chiefs of the priests and the Levites and the chiefs of the families of Israel, in Jerusalem, in the rooms of the house of the Lord.
30 Svećenici i leviti primiše, dakle, izmjereno srebro, zlato i posuđe da ga odnesu u Jeruzalem, u Dom Boga našega.
So the priests and the Levites took the weight of silver and gold and the vessels, to take them to Jerusalem into the house of our God.
31 Dvanaestog dana prvoga mjeseca krenusmo od rijeke Ahave da pođemo u Jeruzalem: ruka Boga našega bijaše nad nama; on nas je na putu štitio od napada neprijatelja i od pljačkaša.
Then we went away from the river of Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month, to go to Jerusalem; and the hand of our God was on us, and he gave us salvation from our haters and those who were waiting to make an attack on us by the way.
32 Stigli smo u Jeruzalem i ondje smo se tri dana odmarali.
And we came to Jerusalem and were there for three days.
33 Četvrtoga dana izmjereno je srebro, zlato i posuđe u Domu Boga našega i predano je u ruke Merimotu, sinu Urijinu, s kojim je bio Eleazar, sin Pinhasov; a pred njima bijahu leviti: Jozabad, sin Ješuin, i Noadja, sin Binujev.
And on the fourth day, the silver and the gold and the vessels were measured out by weight in the house of our God into the hands of Meremoth, the son of Uriah, the priest; and with him was Eleazar, the son of Phinehas; and with them were Jozabad, the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah, the son of Binnui, the Levites;
34 Sve je bilo na broju i težini. Zabilježena je tada sveukupna težina. U to vrijeme
All was handed over by number and by weight: and the weight was put on record at that time.
35 oni koji su se vratili iz sužanjstva, povratnici, priniješe žrtvu paljenicu Bogu Izraelovu: dvanaest junaca za sav Izrael, devedeset i šest ovnova, sedamdeset i sedam janjaca, dvanaest jaraca za grijehe - sve to kao paljenicu Jahvi.
And those who had been prisoners, who had come back from a strange land, made burned offerings to the God of Israel, twelve oxen for all Israel, ninety-six male sheep, seventy-seven lambs, twelve he-goats for a sin-offering: all this was a burned offering to the Lord.
36 Zatim predaše kraljeve naredbe kraljevskim satrapima i upraviteljima s one strane Rijeke i oni pomogoše narod i Dom Božji.
And they gave the king's orders to the king's captains and the rulers across the river, and they gave the people and the house of God the help which was needed.
