Nehemija 2
1 Mjeseca Nisana, dvadesete godine kraljevanja Artakserksova, stajalo je vino pred kraljem. Uzeh ga i ponudih kralju. Nikada pred njim nisam bio tužan.
And it was - in [the] month of Nisan year twenty of Artaxerxes the king wine [was] before him and I took the wine and I gave [it]! to the king and not I had been sad before him.
2 Tada mi kralj reče: “Što ti je tužno lice? Nisi li možda bolestan? Nije drugo nego je tuga u tvome srcu!” Ja se veoma uplaših
And he said to me the king why? - [is] face your sad and you not you [are] sick [is] nothing this that except sadness of heart and I was afraid greatly very.
3 i rekoh kralju: “Neka uvijek živi kralj! Kako mi lice ne bi bilo tužno kad je grad gdje su grobovi mojih otaca razoren, a vrata mu ognjem spaljena?”
And I said to the king the king for ever may he live why? not will they be sad face my that the city [the] house of [the] tombs of ancestors my [is] desolate and gates its they have been consumed by fire.
4 Kralj me upita: “Što, dakle, želiš?” Zazvah Boga nebeskoga
And he said to me the king on what? this [are] you requesting and I prayed to [the] God of the heavens.
5 i odgovorih kralju: “Ako je kralju po volji i ako ti je mio sluga tvoj, pusti me da odem u Judeju, u grad grobova mojih otaca, da ga obnovim.”
And I said to the king if [is] on the king good and if he is good servant your before you that you will send me to Judah to [the] city of [the] tombs of ancestors my and I will rebuild it.
6 Kralj me upita pred kraljicom, koja je sjedila kraj njega: “Koliko bi trajao tvoj put? Kada ćeš se vratiti?” Pošto sam utvrdio vrijeme koje je odgovaralo kralju, pusti me da odem.
And he said to me the king and the queen-consort - [was] sitting beside him until when? will it be journey your and when? will you return and it was good before the king and he sent me and I gave! to him a time.
7 Još rekoh kralju: “Ako je kralju po volji, mogao bih ponijeti pisma upraviteljima s onu stranu Rijeke da me propuste do Judeje;
And I said to the king if [is] on the king good letters let people give to me to [the] governors of beyond the River that they will allow to pass through me until that I will come to Judah.
8 i pismo Asafu, nadgledniku kraljeve šume, da mi dadne drva za gradnju vrata na tvrđi Hrama, za gradski bedem i za kuću u kojoj ću se nastaniti.” I dade mi kralj, jer dobrostiva ruka Boga moga bijaše nada mnom.
And a letter to Asaph [the] keeper of the forest which [belongs] to the king that he will give to me wood to make beams for [the] gates of the citadel which [belongs] to the house and for [the] wall of the city and for the house which I will go into it and he gave [them] to me the king according to [the] hand of God my good on me.
9 I dođoh tako k upraviteljima s onu stranu Rijeke i dadoh im kraljeva pisma. A kralj posla sa mnom časnike i konjanike.
And I went to [the] governors of beyond the River and I gave! to them [the] letters of the king and he had sent with me the king commanders of [the] army and horsemen.
10 Kad to ču Sanbalat, Horonac, i sluga Tobija, Amonac, bi im vrlo mrsko što je došao čovjek da se zauzme za dobro Izraelaca.
And he heard Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah the servant the Ammonite and it was displeasing to them displeasure great that he had come someone to seek good for [the] people of Israel.
11 Stigavši u Jeruzalem, ostadoh ondje tri dana.
And I came to Jerusalem and I was there days three.
12 Zatim ustah noću, u pratnji nekoliko ljudi, nikomu ne povjerivši što mi je Bog moj nadahnuo da učinim za Jeruzalem; a nisam imao druge životinje osim kljuseta na kojem sam jahao.
And I arose - night I and men - a few with me and not I had told to anyone what? [was] God my putting into heart my to do for Jerusalem and an animal there not [was] with me that except the animal which I [was] riding on it.
13 Iziđoh, dakle, noću na Dolinska vrata i uputih se Zmajevskom izvoru, a zatim prema Smetlišnim vratima: razgledao sam jeruzalemski zid gdje je bio razoren i vrata koja su bila spaljena.
And I went out! by [the] gate of the valley night and to [the] face [the] Spring of [the] Dragons and to [the] gate of the dung and I was examining [the] walls of Jerusalem which (they - [were] broken down *Q(K)*) and gates its they had been consumed by fire.
14 Nastavio sam put prema Izvorskim vratima i Kraljevskom ribnjaku, ali nisam našao prolaza za životinju na kojoj sam jahao.
And I passed on to [the] gate of the spring and to [the] pool of the king and there not [was] room for the animal to pass through under me.
15 Uspeo sam se zato noću uz Potok, i dalje razgledajući zid, i ponovo sam ušao na Dolinska vrata. Tako sam se vratio,
And I was going up in the wadi night and I was examining the wall and I turned back and I went in [the] gate of the valley and I returned.
16 a da savjetnici nisu primijetili kamo sam otišao i što sam učinio. Sve do sada nisam ništa rekao Židovima: ni svećenicima, ni velikašima, ni savjetnicima, ni drugima nadstojnicima.
And the officials not they knew where? had I gone and what? [was] I doing and to the Jews and to the priests and to the nobles and to the officials and to [the] rest [who was] doing the work until thus not I had told.
17 Tada im rekoh: “Vidite u kakvoj smo nevolji: Jeruzalem je u ruševinama, a vrata mu spaljena. Hajte, sagradimo jeruzalemski zid da više ne budemo izloženi ruglu.”
And I said to them you [are] seeing the trouble which we [are] in it that Jerusalem [is] desolate and gates its they have been burned with fire come so we may rebuild [the] wall of Jerusalem and not we will be again a reproach.
18 I objasnih im kako je dobrostiva ruka Boga moga bila nada mnom, a saopćih im i riječi koje mi kralj bijaše rekao. “Ustanimo”, povikaše oni, “i gradimo!” I ukrijepiše im se ruke na dobro djelo.
And I told to them [about] [the] hand of God my that it [was] good on me and also [the] words of the king which he had spoken to me and they said let us arise and we will rebuild and they strengthened hands their for good.
19 Na te vijesti počeše nam se rugati Sanbalat, Horonac, i sluga Tobija, Amonac, i Gešem, Arapin. Prezirno su nam govorili: “Što radite ovdje? Hoćete li se pobuniti protiv kralja?”
And he heard Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah - the servant the Ammonite and Geshem the Arab and they mocked us and they despised us and they said what? [is] the thing this which you [are] doing ¿ on the king [are] you rebelling.
20 Ali im ja odgovorih ovim riječima: “Nebeski će nam Bog dati da uspijemo. Mi, sluge njegove, ustasmo da gradimo. A vi nemate ni dijela, ni prava, ni spomena u Jeruzalemu.”
And I brought back them word and I said to them [the] God of the heavens he he will grant success to us and we servants his we will arise and we will rebuild and [belongs] to you not a share and a right and a memorial in Jerusalem.
