Nehemiah 8
1 All the people gathered themselves together as one man into the wide place that was in front of the water gate; and they spoke to Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, which the LORD had commanded to Israel.
Tada se skupi sav narod jednodušno na ulicu koja je pred vratima vodenijem, i rekoše Jezdri književniku da donese knjigu zakona Mojsijeva koji dade Gospod Izrailju.
2 Ezra the priest brought the law before the assembly, both men and women, and all who could hear with understanding, on the first day of the seventh month.
I donese Jezdra sveštenik zakon pred zbor, u kom bjehu ljudi i žene i svi koji mogahu razumjeti, prvoga dana sedmoga mjeseca.
3 He read from it before the wide place that was in front of the water gate from early morning until midday, in the presence of the men and the women, and of those who could understand. The ears of all the people were attentive to the book of the law.
I èita je na ulici koja je pred vratima vodenijem od jutra do podne pred ljudima i ženama i onijem koji mogahu razumjeti, i uši svemu narodu bijahu obraæene ka knjizi zakonskoj.
4 Ezra the scribe stood on a pulpit of wood, which they had made for the purpose; and beside him stood Mattithiah, Shema, Anaiah, Uriah, Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, on his right hand; and on his left hand, Pedaiah, Mishael, Malchijah, Hashum, Hashbaddanah, Zechariah, and Meshullam.
A Jezdra književnik stajaše na mjestu povisoku, koje bjehu naèinili od drveta za to; i do njega stajaše Matatija i Sema i Anaja i Urija i Helkija i Masija s desne strane, a s lijeve Fedaja i Misailo i Malhija i Asum i Asvadana, Zaharija i Mesulam.
5 Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people (for he was above all the people), and when he opened it, all the people stood up.
I otvori Jezdra knjigu na vidiku svemu narodu, jer bijaše više svega naroda, i kad je otvori, usta sav narod.
6 Then Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God. All the people answered, “Amen, Amen,” with the lifting up of their hands. They bowed their heads, and worshiped the LORD with their faces to the ground.
I Jezdra blagoslovi Gospoda Boga velikoga, a sav narod odgovori: amin, amin, podigavši ruke svoje, pa se saviše i pokloniše se Gospodu licem do zemlje.
7 Also Jeshua, Bani, Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, caused the people to understand the law; and the people stayed in their place.
A Isus i Vanije i Serevija, Jamin, Akuv, Savetaj, Odija, Masija, Kelita, Azarija, Jozavad, Anan, Felaja i drugi Leviti pouèavahu narod zakonu, i narod stajaše na mjestu.
8 They read in the book, in the law of God, distinctly; and they gave the sense, so that they understood the reading.
I èitahu knjigu, zakon Božji, razgovijetno, i razlagahu smisao, te se razumijevaše što se èitaše.
9 Nehemiah, who was the governor, Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who taught the people said to all the people, “Today is holy to the LORD your God. Do not mourn, nor weep.” For all the people wept when they heard the words of the law.
Potom Nemija, koji je Tirsata, i sveštenik Jezdra književnik i Leviti koji pouèavahu narod, rekoše svemu narodu: ovaj je dan svet Gospodu Bogu vašemu; ne tužite ni plaèite. Jer plakaše sav narod slušajuæi što govori zakon.
10 Then he said to them, “Go your way. Eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to him for whom nothing is prepared, for today is holy to our Lord. Do not be grieved, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.”
I reèe im: idite i jedite pretilo i pijte slatko i šaljite dijelove onima koji nemaju ništa zgotovljeno, jer je ovaj dan svet Gospodu našemu. Zato ne budite žalosni, jer je radost Gospodnja vaša sila.
11 So the Levites calmed all the people, saying, “Hold your peace, for the day is holy. Do not be grieved.”
I Leviti utišaše narod govoreæi: muèite, jer je ovaj dan svet, i ne budite žalosni.
12 All the people went their way to eat, to drink, to send portions, and to celebrate, because they had understood the words that were declared to them.
I otide sav narod da jede i pije i da šalje dijelove, i veseliše se veoma što razumješe rijeèi koje im se kazaše.
13 On the second day, the heads of fathers’ households of all the people, the priests, and the Levites were gathered together to Ezra the scribe, to study the words of the law.
A sjutradan skupiše se glavari domova otaèkih iz svega naroda, sveštenici i Leviti, k Jezdri književniku da uèe što zakon govori.
14 They found written in the law how the LORD had commanded by Moses that the children of Israel should dwell in booths in the feast of the seventh month;
I naðoše napisano u zakonu da je Gospod zapovjedio preko Mojsija da sinovi Izrailjevi borave u sjenicama na praznik sedmoga mjeseca.
15 and that they should publish and proclaim in all their cities and in Jerusalem, saying, “Go out to the mountain, and get olive branches, branches of wild olive, myrtle branches, palm branches, and branches of thick trees, to make temporary shelters, as it is written.”
I objaviše i proglasiše po svijem gradovima svojim i u Jerusalimu govoreæi: idite u goru, i donesite granja maslinova i granja od divlje masline i granja mirtova i palmova i granja od šumnatijeh drveta, da naèinite sjenice, kako je napisano.
16 So the people went out and brought them, and made themselves temporary shelters, everyone on the roof of his house, in their courts, in the courts of God’s house, in the wide place of the water gate, and in the wide place of Ephraim’s gate.
I narod izide i donese i naèini sjenice svaki na svom krovu i u svom trijemu i u trijemovima doma Božijega i na ulici kod vrata vodenijeh i na ulici kod vrata Jefremovijeh.
17 All the assembly of those who had come back out of the captivity made temporary shelters and lived in the temporary shelters, for since the days of Joshua the son of Nun to that day the children of Israel had not done so. There was very great gladness.
I tako naèini sjenice sav zbor, što se bješe vratio iz ropstva, i boravljahu pod sjenicama. A od vremena Isusa sina Navina do toga dana ne èiniše tako sinovi Izrailjevi. I bi veselje veoma veliko.
18 Also day by day, from the first day to the last day, he read in the book of the law of God. They kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day was a solemn assembly, according to the ordinance.
I èitaše se knjiga zakona Božijega svaki dan, od prvoga dana do pošljednjega; i praznovaše praznik sedam dana, a osmi dan bi sabor, kako je ureðeno.
