< Ezra 3 >

1 And when the seventh month came, and the children of Israel were in the towns, the people came together like one man to Jerusalem.
А кад дође седми месец и синови Израиљеви беху у својим градовима, сабра се народ једнодушно у Јерусалим.
2 Then Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and his brothers the priests, and Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, with his brothers, got up and made the altar of the God of Israel for burned offerings as is recorded in the law of Moses, the man of God.
Тада уста Исус, син Јоседеков с браћом својом свештеницима и Зоровавељ син Салатилов с браћом својом, и изградише олтар Бога Израиљевог да приносе на њему жртве паљенице како пише у закону Мојсија човека Божијег.
3 They put the altar on its base; for fear was on them because of the people of the countries: and they made burned offerings on it to the Lord, even burned offerings morning and evening.
И подигоше олтар на месту његовом, ако и беху у страху од народа земаљских; и приносише на њему жртве паљенице Господу, жртве паљенице јутром и вечером;
4 And they kept the feast of tents, as it is recorded, making the regular burned offerings every day by number, as it is ordered; for every day what was needed.
И празноваше празник сеница, како је писано, приносећи жртве паљенице сваки дан на број како је уређено за сваки дан.
5 And after that, the regular burned offering and the offerings for the new moons and all the fixed feasts of the Lord which had been made holy, and the offering of everyone who freely gave his offering to the Lord.
А потом приносише жртву паљеницу свагдашњу, и на младине и на све празнике Господње освећене и од сваког који драговољно приношаше принос Господу.
6 From the first day of the seventh month they made a start with the burned offerings, but the base of the Temple of the Lord had still not been put in its place.
Од првог дана месеца седмог почеше приносити жртве паљенице Господу, а дом Господњи још не беше основан.
7 And they gave money to the stoneworkers and woodworkers; and meat and drink and oil to the people of Zidon and of Tyre, for the transport of cedar-trees from Lebanon to the sea, to Joppa, as Cyrus, king of Persia, had given them authority to do.
И дадоше новце каменарима и дрводељама, и храну и пиће и уље Сидоњанима и Тирцима да довозе дрва кедрова с Ливана у море јопско, како им беше пустио Кир, цар персијски.
8 Now in the second year of their coming into the house of God in Jerusalem, in the second month, the work was taken in hand by Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and the rest of their brothers the priests and the Levites, and all those who had come from the land where they were prisoners to Jerusalem: and they made the Levites, of twenty years old and over, responsible for overseeing the work of the house of the Lord.
И друге године по повратку њиховом к дому Божијем у Јерусалим, другог месеца, почеше Зоровавељ син Салатилов и Исус син Јоседеков и остала браћа њихова, свештеници и Левити, и сви који дођоше из ропства у Јерусалим и поставише Левите од двадесет година и више да настоје над послом око дома Господњег.
9 Then Jeshua with his sons and his brothers, Kadmiel with his sons, the sons of Hodaviah, together took up the work of overseeing the workmen in the house of God: the sons of Henadad with their sons and their brothers, the Levites.
И би постављен Исус и синови његови и браћа његова, и Кадмило и синови његови, синови Јудини, заједно да настоје над посленицима у дому Божијем, и синови Инададови и њихови синови и браћа њихова Левити.
10 And when the builders put in position the base of the Temple of the Lord, the priests, dressed in their robes, took their places with horns, and the Levites, the sons of Asaph, with brass instruments, to give praise to the Lord in the way ordered by David, king of Israel.
И кад зидари полагаху темељ цркви Господњој, поставише свештенике обучене с трубама и Левите синове Асафове с кимвалима да хвале Господа по уредби Давида цара Израиљевог.
11 And they gave praise to the Lord, answering one another in their songs and saying, For he is good, for his mercy to Israel is eternal. And all the people gave a great cry of joy, when they gave praise to the Lord, because the base of the Lord's house was put in place.
И певаху наизменце хвалећи и славећи Господа: Јер је до века милост Његова над Израиљем. И сав народ подвикиваше гласно хвалећи Господа што се осниваше дом Господњи.
12 But a number of the priests and Levites and the heads of families, old men who had seen the first house, when the base of this house was put down before their eyes, were overcome with weeping; and a number were crying out with joy:
А многи од свештеника и Левита и главара домова отачких, старци који беху видели пређашњи дом, плакаху гласно гледајући овај дом који се осниваше, а многи опет подвикиваху од радости,
13 So that in the ears of the people the cry of joy was mixed with the sound of weeping; for the cries of the people were loud and came to the ears of those who were a long way off.
Те народ не могаше разазнати вику радосну од вике плачне у народу, јер народ подвикиваше гласно, и вика се чујаше далеко.
