1 Dvadeset i četvrtoga dana toga mjeseca skupiše se Izraelci na post, u pokorničkim vrećama i posuti prašinom.

And on day twenty and four of the month this they gathered [the] people of Israel with fasting and in sackcloth and earth [was] on them.

2 Rod se Izraelov odvojio od svih tuđinaca: pristupili su i ispovijedali svoje grijehe i bezakonja svojih otaca.

And they separated themselves [the] offspring of Israel from all sons of foreignness and they stood and they confessed on sins their and [the] iniquities of ancestors their.

3 Stajali su, svatko na svome mjestu, i čitali knjigu Zakona Jahve, Boga svoga, četvrtinu dana; za druge su četvrtine ispovijedali svoje grijehe i klanjali se Jahvi, Bogu svome.

And they stood at place their and they read aloud in [the] scroll of [the] law of Yahweh God their [the] fourth of the day and a fourth [they were] confessing and [they were] bowing down to Yahweh God their.

And they said the Levites Jeshua and Kadmiel Bani Hashabneiah Sherebiah Hodiah Shebaniah Pethahiah arise bless Yahweh God your from antiquity until perpetuity and may people bless [the] name of glory your and [may it] be exalted above all blessing and praise.

6 Ti si, Jahve, Jedini! Ti si stvorio nebo, i nebesa nad nebesima, i vojsku njihovu, zemlju i sve što je na njoj, mora i što je u njima. Ti sve to oživljavaš, i vojske se nebeske tebi klanjaju.

You he [are] Yahweh to alone you (you *Q(K)*) you made the heavens [the] heavens of the heavens and all host their the earth and all that [is] on it the seas and all that [is] in them and you [are] preserving alive all of them and [the] host of the heavens to you [are] bowing down.

7 Ti si, Jahve, Bog, koji si Abrama izabrao, iz Ura kaldejskoga njega izveo i dao mu ime Abraham.

You he [are] Yahweh God who you chose Abram and you brought out him from Ur of [the] Chaldeans and you made name his Abraham.

8 Vjerno si srce njegovo pred sobom našao i Savez s njim sklopio da ćeš mu dati zemlju kanaansku, i hetitsku i amorejsku, i perižansku, jebusejsku i girgašansku, njemu i potomstvu njegovu. I svoja si obećanja ispunio, jer si pravedan.

And you found heart his faithful before you and you made with him the covenant to give [the] land of the Canaanite[s] the Hittite[s] the Amorite[s] and the Perizzite[s] and the Jebusite[s] and the Girgashite[s] to give to offspring his and you fulfilled words your for [are] righteous you.

9 Nevolju si otaca naših u Egiptu vidio, i vapaj si njihov čuo kraj Mora crvenoga.

And you saw [the] affliction of ancestors our in Egypt and outcry their you heard at [the] sea of reed[s].

10 Znacima si se i čudesima oborio na faraona i na sve sluge njegove, i na sav narod zemlje njegove; jer znao si kolika je bila protiv njih drskost njihova. Sebi si ime stekao koje do danas traje.

And you gave signs and wonders on Pharaoh and on all servants his and on all [the] people of land his for you knew that they had acted presumptuously on them and you made for yourself a name as the day this.

11 More si pred njima razdvojio: prešli su usred mora po suhu. U dubine si utopio progonitelje njihove kao kamen među vode silovite.

And the sea you split open before them and they passed in [the] middle of the sea on the dry ground and pursuers their you threw in [the] depths like a stone in waters mighty.

12 Stupom oblaka danju si ih vodio, a noću si stupom ognjenim svijetlio im po putu kojim su hodili.

And in a pillar of cloud you led them by day and in a pillar of fire night to light up for them the way which they walked in it.

13 Na goru si Sinajsku sišao i s neba im govorio; i dao si im pravedne naredbe, čvrste zakone, zapovijedi izvrsne i uredbe.

And on [the] mountain of Sinai you came down and you spoke with them from heaven and you gave to them judgments upright and laws of faithfulness statutes and commandments good.

14 Ti si im objavio svoju svetu subotu, zapovijedi, naredbe i Zakon si im propisao po glasu sluge svoga Mojsija.

And [the] sabbath of holiness your you made known to them and commandments and statutes and [the] law you commanded to them by [the] hand of Moses servant your.

15 S neba si ih hranio kruhom za njihove gladi, za njihovu si žeđ iz stijene vodu izveo. Ti si im zapovjedio da pođu zaposjesti zemlju za koju si se zakleo da ćeš im dati.

And bread from heaven you gave to them for hunger their and water from a rock you brought forth for them for thirst their and you said to them to go to take possession of the land which you had lifted hand your to give to them.

16 Ali se oni i oci naši uzjoguniše, vratove ukrutiše i zapovijedi tvojih nisu slušali.

And they and ancestors our they acted presumptuously and they stiffened neck their and not they listened to commandments your.

17 Poslušnost su odbili, zaboravili čudesa što si ih za njih učinio; ukrutili su vratove, a u glavu uvrtjeli da u ropstvo se svoje vrate, u Egipat. Ali ti si Bog praštanja, milosrdan i blag, na gnjev si spor, a u milosrdđu velik: i nisi ih ostavio!

And they refused to listen and not they remembered wonders your which you had done with them and they stiffened neck their and they appointed a leader to return to servitude their in rebellion their and you [are] a God forgiveness gracious and compassionate long of anger and great (of covenant loyalty *Q(K)*) and not you abandoned them.

18 Čak su načinili tele saliveno, 'To bog je tvoj', rekoše, 'koji te izveo iz Egipta!' I teško su hulili,

Even for they had made for themselves a calf of molten metal and they had said this [is] god your who he brought up you from Egypt and they had done blasphemies great.

19 a ti u beskrajnom milosrđu nisi ih napuštao u pustinji: stup se oblaka nije pred njima skrivao, danju ih je putem vodio, a stup je plameni noću pred njima svijetlio putem kojim su hodili.

And you in compassion your great not you abandoned them in the wilderness [the] pillar of cloud not it departed from over them in daytime their to lead them in the way and [the] pillar of fire at night to light up for them and the way which they walked in it.

20 Dao si im svoga Duha dobrog da ih naučiš mudrosti, mÓane svoje nisi uskratio njihovim ustima, i u žeđi si im vode pružio.

And spirit your good you gave to instruct them and manna your not you withheld from mouth their and water you gave to them for thirst their.

21 Četrdeset godina krijepio si ih u pustinji: ništa im nije nedostajalo: niti im se odijelo deralo, niti su im noge oticale.

And forty year[s] you sustained them in the wilderness not they were lacking clothes their not they wore out and feet their not they became swollen.

22 I dao si im kraljevstva i narode i razdijelio ih granicama: zaposjeli su zemlju Sihona, kralja hešbonskoga, i zemlju Oga, kralja bašanskoga.

And you gave to them kingdoms and peoples and you apportioned them to a corner and they took possession of [the] land of Sihon and [the] land of [the] king of Heshbon and [the] land of Og [the] king of Bashan.

23 I sinove si im umnožio kao zvijezde nebeske, i u zemlju si ih doveo za koju si rekao njihovim ocima da će ući u nju i zaposjesti je.

And children their you increased like [the] stars of the heavens and you brought them into the land which you had said to ancestors their to go to take possession of.

24 Sinovi su ušli i pokorili zemlju, a ti si pred njima svladao stanovnike zemlje, Kanaance, i predao si u ruke njihove kraljeve i narode zemlje da rade s njima što ih je volja;

And they went the children and they took possession of the land and you subdued before them [the] inhabitants of the land the Canaanites and you gave them in hand their and kings their and [the] peoples of the land to do with them according to will their.

25 osvojili su gradove tvrde i zemlju plodnu i naslijedili kuće pune svakog dobra, isklesane zdence, vinograde, maslinike i mnogo plodnog drveća: jeli su, sitili se i debljali i uživali u velikoj dobroti tvojoj.

And they captured cities fortified and ground fertile and they took possession of houses full every good thing wells dug out vineyards and olive trees and tree[s] of food to abundance and they ate and they were satisfied and they grew fat and they luxuriated in goodness your great.

26 Ali su se bunili i odvrgli tebe, i Zakon su tvoj bacili za leđa, ubijali su proroke, koji su ih obraćali da se tebi vrate, i grdno su hulili.

And they were disobedient and they rebelled against you and they threw law your behind back their and prophets your they killed who they had warned them to bring back them to you and they did blasphemies great.

27 U ruke si ih tada predao osvajačima, koji su ih tlačili. A u vrijeme muke svoje tebi su vapili i ti si ih s neba uslišio i u velikoj dobroti svojoj slao si im izbavitelje, koji su ih iz ruku tlačitelja njihovih izbavljali.

And you gave them in [the] hand of opponents their and they caused distress to them and in [the] time of distress their they cried out to you and you from heaven you heard and according to compassion your great you gave to them deliverers and they delivered them from [the] hand of opponents their.

28 Ali čim bi se smirili, opet su pred tobom zlo činili, a ti si ih puštao u ruke neprijatelja njihovih, koji su ih mučili. I opet su k tebi vapili i ti si ih s neba uslišio: u milosrđu svojem mnogo si ih puta izbavio.

And just as was rest to them they returned to do evil before you and you abandoned them in [the] hand of enemies their and they ruled over them and they returned and they cried out to you and you from heaven you heard and you rescued them according to compassion your many times.

29 Ti si ih opominjao da se vrate tvome Zakonu: ali se oni uzjoguniše, nepokorni tvojim zapovijedima; griješili su protiv naredaba tvojih, a čovjek živi kad ih obdržava. Leđa su izvlačili, šije ukrućivali i nisu slušali.

And you warned them to bring back them to law your and they they acted presumptuously and not they listened to commandments your and in judgments your they sinned in them which he will do anyone and he will live by them and they gave a shoulder stubborn and neck their they stiffened and not they listened.

30 Mnogo si godina bio strpljiv s njima i svojim si ih Duhom opominjao po službi svojih proroka; no nisu slušali. Tada si ih predao u ruke naroda zemaljskih.

And you prolonged towards them years many and you warned them by spirit your by [the] hand of prophets your and not they gave ear and you gave them in [the] hand of [the] peoples of the lands.

31 U velikom milosrđu svojem ti ih nisi uništio, ni ostavio ih nisi, jer si ti Bog milostiv i pun samilosti.

And in compassion your great not you made them complete destruction and not you abandoned them for [are] a God gracious and compassionate you.

32 A sada, o Bože naš, veliki Bože, jaki i strašni, koji čuvaš Savez i dobrohotnost, neka ne bude pred licem tvojim neznatna sva ova nevolja koja je snašla nas, kraljeve naše i knezove, svećenike i proroke naše, očeve naše i sav narod tvoj od vremena asirskih kraljeva pa do danas.

And therefore O God our God great mighty and awesome [the] keeper of the covenant and covenant loyalty may not it be small before you all the hardship which it has come upon us to kings our to leaders our and to priests our and to prophets our and to ancestors our and to all people your since [the] days of [the] kings of Assyria until the day this.

33 Ti si pravedan u svemu što nas je snašlo, jer si ti pokazao vjernost, a mi zloću svoju.

And you [are] righteous on every [thing which] has come on us for faithfulness you have acted and we we have acted wickedly.

34 Kraljevi naši i knezovi, svećenici i oci naši nisu vršili Zakona tvoga, nisu osluškivali naredaba tvojih i opomena koje si im davao.

And kings our leaders our priests our and ancestors our not they did law your and not they paid attention to commandments your and to testimonies your which you admonished them.

35 Premda su bili u svom kraljevstvu, u velikim dobrima koja si im činio, u prostranoj i plodnoj zemlji koju si im dao, oni ti nisu služili i od svojih zlih djela nisu se odvraćali.

And they in own kingdom their and in goodness your great which you had given to them and in [the] land broad and fertile which you had set before them not they served you and not they turned back from deeds their evil.

36 Mi smo danas, evo, robovi i u zemlji koju si bio dao ocima našim da uživaju njene plodove i njena dobra, evo u njoj mi robujemo.

Here! we this day [are] slaves and the land which you gave to ancestors our to eat fruit its and good thing[s] its here! we [are] slaves on it.

37 Njeni obilni prihodi idu kraljevima koje si nam postavio zbog grijeha naših, i gospodare oni po volji svojoj tjelesima našim i stokom našom. Ah, u velikoj smo nevolji!

And produce its [is] increasing for the kings whom you have appointed over us in sins our and over bodies our [they are] ruling and over cattle our according to will their and [are] in distress great we.

38 I zbog svega toga obvezujemo se pismeno na vjernost.” Na zapečaćenoj ispravi stajala su imena naših knezova, levita i svećenika ...

And in all this we [are] making a trustworthy arrangement and writing and [are] on the sealed [document] leaders our Levites our priests our.
