Nehemiah 8
1 At that time all the people gathered together in the square before the Water Gate, and they asked Ezra the scribe to bring out the Book of the Law of Moses, which the LORD had commanded for 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 On the first day of the seventh month, Ezra the priest brought the Law before the assembly of men and women and all who could listen and understand.
I donese Jezdra sveštenik zakon pred zbor, u kom bjehu ljudi i žene i svi koji mogahu razumjeti, prvoga dana sedmoga mjeseca.
3 So Ezra read it aloud from daybreak until noon as he faced the square before the Water Gate, in front of the men and women and those who could understand. And all the people listened attentively 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 high wooden platform built for this occasion. At his right side stood Mattithiah, Shema, Anaiah, Uriah, Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, and at his left were Pedaiah, Mishael, Malchijah, Hashum, Hash-baddanah, 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 full view of all the people, since he was standing above them all, and as 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, and with their hands uplifted, all the people said, “Amen, Amen!” Then they bowed down 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 The Levites—Jeshua, Bani, Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, and Pelaiah—instructed the people in the Law as they stood in their places.
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 So they read from the Book of the Law of God, explaining it and giving insight, so that the people could understand what was being read.
I èitahu knjigu, zakon Božji, razgovijetno, i razlagahu smisao, te se razumijevaše što se èitaše.
9 Nehemiah the governor, Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who were instructing the people said to all of them, “This day is holy to the LORD your God. Do not mourn or weep.” For all the people were weeping as 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 Nehemiah told them, “Go and eat what is rich, drink what is sweet, and send out portions to those who have nothing prepared, since today is holy to our Lord. Do not grieve, 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 And the Levites calmed all the people, saying, “Be still, since today is holy. Do not grieve.”
I Leviti utišaše narod govoreæi: muèite, jer je ovaj dan svet, i ne budite žalosni.
12 Then all the people began to eat and drink, to send out portions, and to rejoice greatly, because they understood the words that had been made known 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 of the month, the heads of all the families, along with the priests and Levites, gathered around 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 And they found written in the Law, which the LORD had commanded through Moses, that the Israelites were to dwell in booths during 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 So they proclaimed this message and spread it throughout their towns and in Jerusalem, saying, “Go out to the hill country and bring back branches of olive, wild olive, myrtle, palm, and other leafy trees, to make booths, 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 And the people went out, brought back branches, and made booths on their own rooftops, in their courtyards, in the court of the house of God, and in the squares by the Water Gate and by the Gate of Ephraim.
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 The whole assembly who had returned from exile made booths and lived in them. From the days of Joshua son of Nun until that day, the Israelites had not celebrated like this. And there was great rejoicing.
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 Day after day, from the first day to the last, Ezra read from the Book of the Law of God. The Israelites kept the feast for seven days, and on the eighth day they held an 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.
