Ezra 8
1 Evo glavara obitelji s rodoslovljem koji su sa mnom pošli iz Babilona za vladavine kralja Artakserksa:
Now these are the chiefs of families, and the genealogy of them, who came up with me from Babylon in the reign of Artaxerxes the king.

14 i od sinova Bigvajevih: Utaj, sin Zabudov, i s njim sedamdeset muškaraca.
Of the sons of Begui, Uthai and Zachur, and with them seventy men.
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 gathered them together to the river, which runneth down to Ahava, and we stayed there three days: and I sought among the people and among the priests for the sons of Levi, and found none there.
16 Tada sam poslao glavare Eliezera, Ariela, Šemaju, Elnatana, Jariba, Elnatana, Natana, Zahariju, Mešulama i učitelje Jojariba i Elnatana
So I sent Eliezer, and Ariel, and Semeias, and Elnathan, and Jarib, and another Elnathan, and Nathan, and Zacharias, and Mosollam, chief men: and Joiarib, and Elnathan, 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 Eddo, who is chief in the place of Chasphia, and I put in their mouth the words that they should speak to Eddo, and his brethren the Nathinites in the place of Chasphia, that they should bring us ministers 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 good hand of our God upon us, they brought us a most learned man of the sons of Moholi the son of Levi the son of Israel, and Sarabias and his sons, and his brethren eighteen,
19 Još Hašabju i s njim njegova brata Izaiju, sina Merarijeva, i njihove sinove: njih dvadeset.
And Hasabias, and with him Isaias of the sons of Merari, and his brethren, and his 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 Nathinites, whom David, and the princes gave for the service of the Levites, Nathinites two hundred and twenty: all these were called by their names.
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.
And I proclaimed there a fast by the river Ahava, that we might afflict ourselves before the Lord our God, and might ask of him a right way for us and for our children, 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 was ashamed to ask the king for aid and for horsemen, to defend us from the enemy in the way: because we had said to the king: The hand of our God is upon all them that seek him in goodness: and his power and strength, and wrath upon all them that forsake him.
23 I tako smo postili i molili Boga svoga na ovu nakanu, i on nas usliša.
And we fasted, and besought our God for this: and it fell out prosperously unto us.
24 Izabrao sam dvanaest glavara svećeničkih, Šerebju i Hašabju, i s njima desetoricu njihove braće;
And I separated twelve of the chief of the priests, Sarabias, and Hasabias, and with them ten of their brethren,
25 izmjerih im srebro, zlato i posuđe, darove koje su kralj, njegovi savjetnici, velikaši i svi Izraelci darovali za Dom Boga našega.
And I weighed unto them the silver and gold, and the vessels consecrated for the house of our God, which the king and his counsellors, and his princes, and all Israel, that were found had offered.
26 Izmjerih i stavih u njihove ruke šest stotina i pedeset talenata srebra, stotinu srebrnih posuda od po dva talenta, stotinu talenata zlata,
And I weighed to their hands six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and a hundred vessels of silver, 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 cups of gold, of a thousand solids, and two vessels of the best shining brass, beautiful as 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 the holy ones of the Lord, and the vessels are holy, and the silver and gold, that is freely offered to the Lord the God of our 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.”
Watch ye and beep them, till you deliver them by weight before the chief of the priests, and of the Levites, and the heads of the families of Israel in Jerusalem, into the treasure 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.
And the priests and the Levites received the weight of the silver and gold, and the vessels, to carry them to Jerusalem to 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 set forward from the river Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month to go to Jerusalem: and the hand of our God was upon us, and delivered us from the hand of the enemy, and of such as lay in wait by the way.
32 Stigli smo u Jeruzalem i ondje smo se tri dana odmarali.
And we came to Jerusalem, and we stayed there 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 weighed in the house of our God by the hand of Meremoth the son of Urias the priest, and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinees, and with them Jozabad the son of Josue, and Noadaia the son of Benoi, Levites.
34 Sve je bilo na broju i težini. Zabilježena je tada sveukupna težina. U to vrijeme
According to the number and weight of every thing: and all the weight was written 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.
Moreover the children of them that had been carried away that were come out of the captivity, offered holocausts to the God of Israel, twelve calves for all the people of Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, and twelve he goats for sin: all for a holocaust 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 edicts to the lords that were from the king’s court, and the governors beyond the river, and they furthered the people and the house of God.
