Ezra 7
1 Now after these things, during the reign of Artaxerxes, the king of the Persians, Ezra, the 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, priest from the beginning,
Sina Avisuje, sina Finesa, sina Eleazara, sina Arona poglavara sveštenièkoga,
6 this same Ezra, ascended from Babylon; and he was a proficient scribe in the law of Moses, which the Lord God gave to Israel. And the king granted to him his every petition. For the hand of the Lord, his God, was over 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 And some from the sons of Israel, and from the sons of the priests, and from the sons of the Levites, and from the singing men, and from the gatekeepers, and from the temple servants ascended to Jerusalem, in the seventh year of king Artaxerxes.
I vratiše se u Jerusalim neki sinovi Izrailjevi i sveštenici i Leviti i pjevaèi i vratari i Netineji sedme godine cara Artakserksa.
8 And they arrived at Jerusalem in the fifth month, in the same seventh year of the king.
A doðe u Jerusalim petoga mjeseca sedme godine toga cara.
9 For on the first day of the first month, he began to ascend from Babylon, and on the first day of the fifth month, he arrived at Jerusalem. For the good hand of his God was over 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 prepared his heart, so that he might search the law of the Lord, and so that he might keep and teach precept and judgment in Israel.
Jer Jezdra bješe upravio srce svoje da istražuje zakon Gospodnji i da ga izvršuje i da uèi Izrailja uredbama i zakonima.
11 Now this is a copy of the letter of the edict, which king Artaxerxes gave to Ezra, the priest, a scribe well-taught in the words and precepts of the Lord and in his ceremonies in 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, a very learned scribe of the law of the God of heaven: a greeting.
Artakserkso car nad carevima Jezdri svešteniku, književniku vještomu u zakonu Boga nebeskoga, svako dobro; tada i tada.
13 It has been decreed by me, that whosoever wishes, among the people of Israel and their priests and Levites within my kingdom, to go to Jerusalem, may go with you.
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 For you have been sent from the face of the king and his seven counselors, so that you may visit Judea and Jerusalem by 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 and so that you may carry the silver and gold, which the king and his counselors have freely offered to the God of Israel, whose tabernacle is in Jerusalem.
I da odneseš srebro i zlato što car i savjetnici njegovi dragovoljno prinose Bogu Izrailjevu, kojemu je stan u Jerusalimu,
16 And all the silver and gold, as much as you will find in the entire province of Babylon, and which the people will wish to offer, and which some of the priests will offer freely to the house of their God, which is 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 accept it freely. And with this money, carefully purchase calves, rams, lambs, and their sacrifices and libations, and offer these upon the altar of the temple of your God, which is 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 But also, whatever it will please you and your brothers to do with the remainder of the silver and gold, do so in accord with 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 Likewise, the vessels that have been given to you for the ministry of the house of your God, deliver these to the sight of God in Jerusalem.
I sudove koji su ti dati za službu u domu Boga tvojega, ostavi pred Bogom u Jerusalimu.
20 Then, whatever more will be needed for the house of your God, as much as is necessary for you to spend, it shall be given from the treasury, and from the king’s finances,
I što bi još trebalo domu Boga tvojega, te bi valjalo dati, podaj iz carske riznice.
21 and by me. I, king Artaxerxes, have appointed and decreed to all the keepers of the public treasury, those who are beyond the river, that whatever Ezra, the priest, a scribe of the law of the God of heaven, shall ask of you, you shall provide it without delay,
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 even up to one hundred talents of silver, and up to one hundred cors of wheat, and up to one hundred baths of wine, and up to one hundred baths of oil, and truly salt without measure.
Do sto talanata srebra i do sto kora pšenice i do sto vata vina i do sto vata ulja, a soli bez mjere,
23 All that pertains to the rite of the God of heaven, let it be distributed scrupulously to the house of the God of heaven, lest perhaps he may become angry against the kingdom 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 Likewise, we would make known to you, about all the priests, and the Levites, and the singers, and the gatekeepers, and the temple servants, and the ministers of the house of this God, that you have no authority to impose tax, or tribute, or duty upon them.
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 But as for you, Ezra, in accord with the wisdom of your God, which is in your hand, appoint judges and magistrates, so that they may judge the entire people, which is beyond the river, especially so that they may know the law of your God, but also so as to teach the ignorant freely.
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 And anyone who will not diligently keep the law of your God, and the law of the king, judgment shall be upon him, either to death, or to exile, or to the confiscation of his goods, or certainly to prison.”
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 this into the heart of the king, so that he may glorify the house of the Lord, which is in Jerusalem.
Blagosloven da je Gospod Bog otaca naših, koji dade to caru u srce da ukrasi dom Gospodnji u Jerusalimu,
28 For he has turned his mercy toward me in the sight of the king, and his counselors, and all the powerful leaders of the king. And so, having been strengthened by the hand of the Lord, my God, which was upon me, I gathered together some of the leaders of Israel, those who were to go up 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.
