Ezra 5
1 Now the prophets Haggai and Zechariah, the son of Iddo, were preaching to the Jews in Judah and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel.
Tada Agej prorok i Zaharija sin Idov prorok prorokovahu Judejcima koji bijahu u Judeji i u Jerusalimu u ime Boga Izrailjeva.
2 Then Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, got up and made a start at building the house of God at Jerusalem: and the prophets of God were with them, helping them.
I usta Zorovavelj sin Salatilov i Isus sin Josedekov, i poèeše opet zidati dom Božji u Jerusalimu, i bjehu s njima proroci Božji pomažuæi im.
3 At the same time, Tattenai, ruler of the land across the river, and Shethar-bozenai, and their men, came to them and said, Who gave you orders to go on building this house and this wall?
U to vrijeme doðe k njima Tatnaj upravitelj s ovu stranu rijeke, i Setar-Vosnaj i drugovi njihovi, i rekoše im ovako: ko vam je dao vlast da zidate tu kuæu i da opravljate te zidove?
4 Then they said these words to them: What are the names of the men who are at work on this building?
Tada im odgovorismo imenujuæi ljude koji graðahu tu graðevinu.
5 But the eye of their God was on the chiefs of the Jews, and they did not make them give up working till the question had been put before Darius and an answer had come by letter about it.
Ali bješe oko Božije na starješinama Judejskim, te im ne zabraniše dokle ne otide stvar do Darija i donesu odgovor o tom.
6 This is a copy of the letter which Tattenai, the ruler of the land across the river, and Shethar-bozenai and his friends the Apharsachites, living across the river, sent to Darius the king:
A ovo je prijepis od knjige koju posla caru Dariju Tatnaj upravitelj s ove strane rijeke i Setar-Vosnaj s drugovima svojim Afarsašanima koji bijahu s ove strane rijeke.
7 They sent him a letter saying, To Darius the king, all peace:
Poslaše mu knjigu, a u njojzi bješe napisano ovako: Dariju caru svako dobro.
8 This is to give the king word that we went into the land of Judah, to the house of the great God, which is made of great stones, and has its walls supported with wood, and the work is going on with industry, and they are doing it well.
Da je na znanje caru da doðosmo u Judejsku zemlju k domu Boga velikoga, koji zidaju od velikoga kamena, i drvlje meæu u zidove, i posao se brzo radi i napreduje u rukama njihovijem.
9 Then we said to the men responsible, who gave you authority for the building of this house and these walls?
I zapitasmo tamošnje starješine rekavši im: ko vam je dao vlast da zidate taj dom i da opravljate te zidove?
10 And we made request for their names, so that we might send you word, and give you the names of the men at the head of them.
Pa ih i za imena njihova zapitasmo da bismo ti javili, i zapisasmo imena onijeh koji su glavari meðu njima.
11 And they made answer to us, saying, We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and we are building the house which was put up in times long past and was designed and made complete by a great king of Israel.
A oni nam odgovoriše ovako govoreæi: mi smo sluge Boga nebeskoga i zemaljskoga, i zidamo dom koji je bio sazidan prije mnogo vremena, koji je zidao i podigao velik car Izrailjev.
12 But when the God of heaven was moved to wrath by our fathers, he gave them up into the hands of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, the Chaldaean, who sent destruction on this house and took the people away into Babylon.
Ali kad oci naši razgnjeviše Boga nebeskoga, dade ih u ruke Navuhodonosoru caru Vavilonskom Haldejcu, koji raskopa ovaj dom a narod preseli u Vavilon.
13 But in the first year of Cyrus, king of Babylon, Cyrus the king gave an order for the building of this house of God;
Ali prve godine Kira cara Vavilonskoga, car Kir zapovjedi da se sazida ovaj dom Božji.
14 And the gold and silver vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took from the Temple which was in Jerusalem, and put into the house of his god in Babylon, these Cyrus the king took from the house of his god in Babylon, and gave to one named Sheshbazzar, whom he had made ruler;
Još i sudove doma Božijega zlatne i srebrne koje Navuhodonosor bješe uzeo iz crkve Jerusalimske i odnio u crkvu Vavilonsku, iznese ih car Kir iz crkve Vavilonske, i biše dani po imenu Sasavasaru, kojega postavi upraviteljem,
15 And he said to him, Go, take these vessels, and put them in the Temple in Jerusalem, and let the house of God be put up again in its place.
I reèe mu: uzmi ove sudove pa idi i odnesi ih u crkvu koja je u Jerusalimu, i dom Božji neka se sazida na svojem mjestu.
16 Then this same Sheshbazzar came and put the house of God in Jerusalem on its bases: and from that time till now the building has been going on, but it is still not complete.
Onda taj Sasavasar doðe i postavi temelj domu Božijemu u Jerusalimu; i od toga vremena dosad zida se i još nije dovršen.
17 So now, if it seems good to the king, let search be made in the king's store-house at Babylon, to see if it is true that an order was given by Cyrus the king for the building of this house of God at Jerusalem, and let the king send us word of his pleasure in connection with this business.
Ako je dakle ugodno caru, neka se potraži u riznici carskoj u Vavilonu je li car Kir zapovjedio da se sazida ovaj dom Božji u Jerusalimu, i volju svoju o tom neka nam car pošlje.
