Ezra 7
1 Many years later, during the reign of Artaxerxes king of Persia, Ezra son of Seraiah, the son of Azariah, the son of Hilkiah,
A poslije ovijeh stvari za carovanja Artakserksa cara Persijskoga Jezdra, sin Seraje sina Azarije, sina Helkije,
2 the son of Shallum, the son of Zadok, the son of Ahitub,
Sina Saluma, sina Sadoka, sina Ahitova,
3 the son of Amariah, the son of Azariah, the son of Meraioth,
Sina Amarije, sina Azarije, sina Merajota,
4 the son of Zerahiah, the son of Uzzi, the son of Bukki,
Sina Zeraje, sina Ozije, sina Vukija,
5 the son of Abishua, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the chief priest—
Sina Avisuje, sina Finesa, sina Eleazara, sina Arona poglavara sveštenièkoga,
6 this Ezra came up from Babylon. He was a scribe skilled in the Law of Moses, which the LORD, the God of Israel, had given. The king had granted Ezra all his requests, for the hand of the LORD his God was upon him.
Taj Jezdra vrati se iz Vavilonske, a bijaše književnik vješt zakonu Mojsijevu, koji dade Gospod Bog Izrailjev, i car mu dade sve što zaiska, jer ruka Gospoda Boga njegova bijaše nad njim,
7 So in the seventh year of King Artaxerxes, he went up to Jerusalem with some of the Israelites, including priests, Levites, singers, gatekeepers, and temple servants.
I vratiše se u Jerusalim neki sinovi Izrailjevi i sveštenici i Leviti i pjevaèi i vratari i Netineji sedme godine cara Artakserksa.
8 Ezra arrived in Jerusalem in the fifth month of the seventh year of the king.
A doðe u Jerusalim petoga mjeseca sedme godine toga cara.
9 He had begun the journey from Babylon on the first day of the first month, and he arrived in Jerusalem on the first day of the fifth month, for the gracious hand of his God was upon him.
Jer prvoga dana prvoga mjeseca poðe iz Vavilonske, a prvoga dana petoga mjeseca doðe u Jerusalim, jer dobra ruka Boga njegova bješe nad njim.
10 For Ezra had set his heart to study the Law of the LORD, to practice it, and to teach its statutes and ordinances in Israel.
Jer Jezdra bješe upravio srce svoje da istražuje zakon Gospodnji i da ga izvršuje i da uèi Izrailja uredbama i zakonima.
11 This is the text of the letter King Artaxerxes had given to Ezra the priest and scribe, an expert in the commandments and statutes of the LORD to Israel:
A ovo je prijepis od knjige koju dade car Artakserkso Jezdri svešteniku književniku vještomu stvarima što je zapovjedio Gospod i uredbama njegovijem u Izrailju:
12 Artaxerxes, king of kings. To Ezra the priest, the scribe of the Law of the God of heaven: Greetings.
Artakserkso car nad carevima Jezdri svešteniku, književniku vještomu u zakonu Boga nebeskoga, svako dobro; tada i tada.
13 I hereby decree that any volunteers among the Israelites in my kingdom, including the priests and Levites, may go up with you to Jerusalem.
Ja zapovijedam: ko god u mom carstvu od naroda Izrailjeva i od sveštenika njegovijeh i Levita hoæe od svoje volje da ide s tobom u Jerusalim, nek ide.
14 You are sent by the king and his seven counselors to evaluate Judah and Jerusalem according to the Law of your God, which is in your hand.
Jer se šalješ od cara i od sedam savjetnika njegovijeh da nadgledaš Judeju i Jerusalim po zakonu Boga svojega koji ti je u ruku,
15 Moreover, you are to take with you the silver and gold that the king and his counselors have freely offered to the God of Israel, whose dwelling is in Jerusalem,
I da odneseš srebro i zlato što car i savjetnici njegovi dragovoljno prinose Bogu Izrailjevu, kojemu je stan u Jerusalimu,
16 together with all the silver and gold you may find in all the province of Babylon, as well as the freewill offerings of the people and priests to the house of their God in Jerusalem.
I sve srebro i zlato što nakupiš u svoj zemlji Vavilonskoj s dragovoljnijem prilozima koje narod i sveštenici dragovoljno prilože na dom Boga svojega u Jerusalimu.
17 With this money, therefore, you are to buy as many bulls, rams, and lambs as needed, together with their grain offerings and drink offerings, and offer them on the altar at the house of your God in Jerusalem.
Pa odmah za te novce kupi junaca i ovnova i jaganjaca s darovima njihovijem i naljevima njihovijem, i prinesi ih na oltaru doma Boga vašega u Jerusalimu.
18 You and your brothers may do whatever seems best with the rest of the silver and gold, according to the will of your God.
I što se tebi i braæi tvojoj svidi uèiniti s ostalijem srebrom i zlatom, uèinite po volji Boga svojega.
19 You must deliver to the God of Jerusalem all the articles given to you for the service of the house of your God.
I sudove koji su ti dati za službu u domu Boga tvojega, ostavi pred Bogom u Jerusalimu.
20 And if anything else is needed for the house of your God that you may have occasion to supply, you may pay for it from the royal treasury.
I što bi još trebalo domu Boga tvojega, te bi valjalo dati, podaj iz carske riznice.
21 I, King Artaxerxes, decree to all the treasurers west of the Euphrates: Whatever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the Law of the God of heaven, may require of you, it must be provided promptly,
I još zapovijedam ja car Artakserkso svijem riznièarima s one strane rijeke, da što god zaište od vas Jezdra sveštenik, književnik vješti zakonu Boga nebeskoga, odmah da se uèini,
22 up to a hundred talents of silver, a hundred cors of wheat, a hundred baths of wine, a hundred baths of olive oil, and salt without limit.
Do sto talanata srebra i do sto kora pšenice i do sto vata vina i do sto vata ulja, a soli bez mjere,
23 Whatever is commanded by the God of heaven must be done diligently for His house. For why should wrath fall on the realm of the king and his sons?
Što god zapovjedi Bog nebeski, odmah da se uèini za dom Boga nebeskoga, da ne doðe gnjev na carstvo, na cara i na sinove njegove.
24 And be advised that you have no authority to impose tribute, duty, or toll on any of the priests, Levites, singers, doorkeepers, temple servants, or other servants of this house of God.
I još vam javljamo da se ni od jednoga izmeðu sveštenika i Levita i pjevaèa i vratara i Netineja i drugih sluga toga doma Božijega ne smije uzimati danak ni poreza ni carina.
25 And you, Ezra, according to the wisdom of your God which you possess, are to appoint magistrates and judges to judge all the people west of the Euphrates—all who know the laws of your God. And you are to teach these laws to anyone who does not know them.
A ti, Jezdra, po mudrosti Boga svojega koja ti je data postavi upravitelje i sudije da sude svemu narodu što je s one strane rijeke izmeðu svijeh koji znadu zakon Boga tvojega, i ko ne zna, uèite ga.
26 If anyone does not keep the law of your God and the law of the king, let a strict judgment be executed against him, whether death, banishment, confiscation of property, or imprisonment.
A ko ne bi izvršivao zakona Boga tvojega i zakona careva, odmah da mu se sudi, bilo da se pogubi ili da se progna ili da se oglobi ili da se baci u tamnicu.
27 Blessed be the LORD, the God of our fathers, who has put into the heart of the king to so honor the house of the LORD in Jerusalem,
Blagosloven da je Gospod Bog otaca naših, koji dade to caru u srce da ukrasi dom Gospodnji u Jerusalimu,
28 and who has shown me favor before the king, his counselors, and all his powerful officials. And because the hand of the LORD my God was upon me, I took courage and gathered the leaders of Israel to return with me.
I dade mi, te naðoh milost pred carem i savjetnicima njegovijem i pred svijem silnijem knezovima carevijem. I ja se oslobodih, jer ruka Gospoda Boga mojega bješe nada mnom, i skupih glavare iz Izrailja da idu sa mnom.
