Nehemiah 13
1 At that time the Book of Moses was read aloud in the hearing of the people, and in it they found the passage stating that no Ammonite or Moabite should ever enter the assembly of God,
U to vrijeme èita se knjiga Mojsijeva narodu, i u njoj se naðe napisano da ne ulazi Amonac ni Moavac u sabor Božji dovijeka;
2 because they had not met the Israelites with food and water, but had hired Balaam to call down a curse against them (although our God had turned the curse into a blessing).
Jer ne sretoše sinova Izrailjevijeh s hljebom i vodom, nego najmiše na njih Valama da ih prokune, ali Bog naš obrati onu kletvu u blagoslov.
3 As soon as the people heard this law, they excluded from Israel all of foreign descent.
A kad èuše taj zakon, odluèiše od Izrailja sve tuðince.
4 Now before this, Eliashib the priest, a relative of Tobiah, had been put in charge of the storerooms of the house of our God
A prije toga Elijasiv sveštenik, koji bješe nad klijetima doma Boga našega, oprijatelji se s Tovijom,
5 and had prepared for Tobiah a large room where they had previously stored the grain offerings, the frankincense, the temple articles, and the tithes of grain, new wine, and oil prescribed for the Levites, singers, and gatekeepers, along with the contributions for the priests.
I naèini mu veliku klijet, gdje se prije ostavljahu dari i kad i sudovi i desetak od žita, vina i ulja, odreðeni Levitima i pjevaèima i vratarima, i prinosi za sveštenike.
6 While all this was happening, I was not in Jerusalem, because I had returned to Artaxerxes king of Babylon in the thirty-second year of his reign. Some time later I obtained leave from the king
A kad to sve bivaše, ne bjeh u Jerusalimu, jer trideset druge godine Artakserksa cara Vavilonskoga vratih se k caru, i poslije nekoliko godina izmolih se opet u cara.
7 to return to Jerusalem. Then I discovered the evil that Eliashib had done on behalf of Tobiah by providing him a room in the courts of the house of God.
I kad doðoh u Jerusalim, vidjeh zlo što uèini Elijasiv radi Tovije naèinivši mu klijet u trijemu doma Božijega.
8 And I was greatly displeased and threw all of Tobiah’s household goods out of the room.
I bi mi vrlo mrsko, te izbacih sve pokuæstvo Tovijino napolje iz klijeti.
9 Then I ordered that the rooms be purified, and I had the articles of the house of God restored to them, along with the grain offerings and frankincense.
I zapovjedih, te oèistiše klijeti; i unesoh u njih opet posuðe doma Božijega, dare i kad.
10 I also learned that because the portions for the Levites had not been given to them, all the Levites and singers responsible for performing the service had gone back to their own fields.
Potom doznah da se Levitima nijesu davali dijelovi, te su se razbjegli svaki na svoju njivu i Leviti i pjevaèi, koji raðahu posao.
11 So I rebuked the officials and asked, “Why has the house of God been neglected?” Then I gathered the Levites and singers together and stationed them at their posts,
I ukorih starješine i rekoh: zašto je ostavljen dom Božji? I sabrah ih opet i postavih na njihovo mjesto.
12 and all Judah brought a tenth of the grain, new wine, and oil into the storerooms.
I svi Judejci donosiše desetke od žita i vina i ulja u spreme.
13 I appointed as treasurers over the storerooms Shelemiah the priest, Zadok the scribe, and Pedaiah of the Levites, with Hanan son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah, to assist them, because they were considered trustworthy. They were responsible for distributing the supplies to their fellow Levites.
I postavih nastojnike nad spremama, Selemiju sveštenika i Sadoka književnika, i izmeðu Levita Fedaju, i uz njih Anana sina Zahura sina Matanijina, jer se za vjerne držahu; i bijaše im posao dijeliti braæi svojoj.
14 Remember me for this, O my God, and do not blot out my deeds of loving devotion for the house of my God and for its services.
Pomeni me, Bože moj, za to, i nemoj izbrisati dobara mojih koja uèinih domu Boga svojega i službi njegovoj.
15 In those days I saw people in Judah treading winepresses on the Sabbath and bringing in grain and loading it on donkeys, along with wine, grapes, and figs. All kinds of goods were being brought into Jerusalem on the Sabbath day. So I warned them against selling food on that day.
U to vrijeme vidjeh u Judeji gdje gaze u kacama u subotu i nose snopove natovarivši na magarce, i vino, grožðe i smokve i svakojake tovare, i nose u Jerusalim u subotu, i prekorih ih onaj dan kad prodavahu žitak.
16 Additionally, men of Tyre who lived there were importing fish and all kinds of merchandise and selling them on the Sabbath to the people of Judah in Jerusalem.
I Tirci koji življahu u Jerusalimu donošahu ribu i svakojaki trg i prodavahu u subotu sinovima Judinijem u Jerusalimu.
17 Then I rebuked the nobles of Judah and asked, “What is this evil you are doing—profaning the Sabbath day?
Zato prekorih glavare Judejske i rekoh im: kako je to zlo što èinite te skvrnite subotu?
18 Did not your forefathers do the same things, so that our God brought all this disaster on us and on this city? And now you are rekindling His wrath against Israel by profaning the Sabbath!”
Nijesu li tako èinili oci vaši, te Bog naš pusti na nas i na ovaj grad sve ovo zlo? I vi još umnožavate gnjev na Izrailja skvrneæi subotu.
19 When the evening shadows began to fall on the gates of Jerusalem, just before the Sabbath, I ordered that the gates be shut and not opened until after the Sabbath. I posted some of my servants at the gates so that no load could enter on the Sabbath day.
I kad doðe sjen na vrata Jerusalimska uoèi subote, zapovjedih te zatvoriše vrata, i zapovjedih da ih ne otvoraju do poslije subote; i postavih nekoliko svojih momaka na vratima da se ne unosi nikakav tovar u subotu.
20 Once or twice, the merchants and those who sell all kinds of goods camped outside Jerusalem,
I prenoæiše trgovci i koji prodavahu svakojaki trg iza Jerusalima jednom i drugom.
21 but I warned them, “Why are you camping in front of the wall? If you do it again, I will lay hands on you.” From that time on, they did not return on the Sabbath.
I opomenuh ih i rekoh im: zašto noæujete oko zida? Ako još jednom to uèinite, uložiæu na vas. Od tada ne dolaziše u subotu.
22 Then I instructed the Levites to purify themselves and guard the gates in order to keep the Sabbath day holy. Remember me for this as well, O my God, and show me mercy according to Your abundant loving devotion.
A Levitima zapovjedih da se oèiste i da doðu i èuvaju vrata da bude svet dan subotni. I za ovo pomeni me, Bože moj, i oprosti mi po velikoj milosti svojoj.
23 In those days I also saw Jews who had married women from Ashdod, Ammon, and Moab.
Još vidjeh u to vrijeme Judejce koji se bijahu oženili Azoæankama, Amonkama i Moavkama.
24 Half of their children spoke the language of Ashdod or of the other peoples, but could not speak the language of Judah.
I sinovi njihovi govorahu pola Azotski, i ne umijahu govoriti Judejski nego jezikom i jednoga i drugoga naroda.
25 I rebuked them and called down curses on them. I beat some of these men and pulled out their hair. Then I made them take an oath before God and said, “You must not give your daughters in marriage to their sons or take their daughters as wives for your sons or for yourselves!
Zato ih karah i psovah, i neke izmeðu njih bih i èupah, i zakleh ih Bogom da ne daju kæeri svojih sinovima njihovijem niti da uzimaju kæeri njihovijeh za sinove svoje ili za sebe.
26 Did not King Solomon of Israel sin in matters like this? There was not a king like him among many nations, and he was loved by his God, who made him king over all Israel—yet foreign women drew him into sin.
Nije li tijem zgriješio Solomun car Izrailjev, ako i ne bješe u mnogim narodima cara njemu ravna i mio bješe Bogu svojemu i Bog ga bješe postavio carem nad svijem Izrailjem? pa opet ga navratiše na grijeh žene tuðinke.
27 Must we now hear that you too are doing all this terrible evil and acting unfaithfully against our God by marrying foreign women?”
A vama li æemo dopustiti da èinite to sve veliko zlo i griješite Bogu našemu uzimajuæi žene tuðinke?
28 Even one of the sons of Jehoiada son of Eliashib the high priest had become a son-in-law to Sanballat the Horonite. Therefore I drove him away from me.
I od sinova Jojade sina Elijasiva poglavara sveštenièkoga jedan bješe zet Sanavalatu Oronjaninu, kojega otjerah od sebe.
29 Remember them, O my God, because they have defiled the priesthood and the covenant of the priesthood and of the Levites.
Pomeni ih, Bože moj, što oskvrniše sveštenstvo i zavjet sveštenièki i Levitski.
30 Thus I purified the priests and Levites from everything foreign, and I assigned specific duties to each of the priests and Levites.
I tako ih oèistih od svijeh tuðinaca, i opet postavih redove sveštenièke i Levitske, svakoga na posao njegov,
31 I also arranged for contributions of wood at the appointed times, and for the firstfruits. Remember me, O my God, with favor.
I da se donose drva za žrtve na rokove, i prvine. Pomeni me, Bože moj, na dobro.
