< Ezra 3 >

1 And when the seuenth moneth was come, and the children of Israel were in their cities, the people assembled themselues as one man vnto Ierusalem.
Ko je prišel sedmi mesec in so bili Izraelovi otroci v mestih, se je ljudstvo kakor en človek zbralo skupaj v Jeruzalemu.
2 Then stoode vp Ieshua rhe sonne of Iozadak, and his brethren the Priests, and Zerubbabel the sonne of Shealtiel, and his brethren, and builded the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings thereon, as it is written in ye Lawe of Moses the man of God,
Potem je vstal Jocadákov sin Ješúa in njegovi bratje duhovniki in Šealtiélov sin Zerubabél in njegovi bratje in zgradili so oltar Izraelovemu Bogu, da na njem darujejo žgalne daritve, kakor je to zapisano v postavi Mojzesa, Božjega moža.
3 And they set the altar vpon his bases (for feare was among them, because of the people of those countreis) therefore they offered burnt offrings thereon vnto the Lord, euen burnt offrings in the morning, and at euen.
Nad njegovimi podnožji so postavili oltar, kajti strah je bil nad njimi zaradi ljudstva tistih dežel. Na njem so darovali žgalne daritve Gospodu, torej žgalne daritve zjutraj in zvečer.
4 They kept also the feast of the Tabernacles, as it is written, and the burnt offring dayly, by nomber according to the custome day by day,
Imeli so tudi šotorski praznik, kakor je ta zapisan in darovali so dnevne žgalne daritve po številu, glede na navado, kakor je zahtevala vsakodnevna dolžnost.
5 And afterwarde the continuall bnrnt offring, both in the newe moneths and in all the feast dayes that were consecrate vnto the Lord, and in all the oblations willingly offered vnto the Lord.
Potem so darovali nenehno žgalno daritev, tako na mlaje in ob vseh določenih Gospodovih praznikih, [tisti], ki so bili posvečeni in od vsakega, ki je voljno daroval prostovoljno daritev Gospodu.
6 From the first day of the seuenth moneth began they to offer burnt offrings vnto the Lord: but the foundation of the Temple of the Lord was not layed.
Od prvega dne sedmega meseca so začeli darovati žgalne daritve Gospodu. Toda temelj Gospodovega templja še ni bil položen.
7 They gaue money also vnto the masons, and to the workemen, and meat and drinke, and oyle vnto them of Zidon and of Tyrus, to bring them cedar wood from Lebanon to the sea vnto Iapho, according to the graunt that they had of Cyrus King of Persia.
Denar so dajali tudi zidarjem in tesarjem; in hrano, pijačo in olje tistim iz Sidóna in tistim iz Tira, da iz Libanona pripeljejo cedrova drevesa k morju pri Jopi, glede na dovoljenje, ki so ga imeli od perzijskega kralja Kira.
8 And in the seconde yeere of their comming vnto the house of God in Ierusalem in the second moneth began Zerubbabel the sonne of Shealtiel, and Ieshua the sonne of Iozadak, and the remnant of their brethren the Priests and the Leuites, and all they that were come out of the captiuitie vnto Ierusalem, and appointed the Leuites from twentie yeere olde and aboue, to set forwarde the worke of the house of the Lord.
Torej v drugem letu svojega prihoda k Božji hiši v Jeruzalemu, v drugem mesecu, so začeli Šealtiélov sin Zerubabél, Jocadákov sin Ješúa in preostanek izmed njihovih bratov duhovnikov in Lévijevcev in vsi tisti, ki so prišli iz ujetništva v Jeruzalem in določili so Lévijevce, od dvajset let stare in navzgor, da poženejo delo Gospodove hiše.
9 And Ieshua stood with his sonnes, and his brethren, and Kadmiel with his sonnes, and the sonnes of Iudah together to set forward ye workemen in the house of God, and the sonnes of Henadad with their sonnes, and their brethren the Leuites.
Potem so skupaj vstali Ješúa, s svojimi sinovi in svojimi brati, Kadmiél in njegovi sinovi, Judovi sinovi, da postavijo delavce v Božji hiši, Henadádove sinove z njihovimi sinovi in njihovimi brati Lévijevci.
10 And when the builders layed the foundation of the Temple of the Lord, they appoynted the Priestes in their apparel with trumpets, and the Leuites the sonnes of Asaph with cymbales, to prayse the Lord, after the ordinance of Dauid King of Israel.
Ko so graditelji položili temelj Gospodovemu templju, so postavili duhovnike v njihovi obleki s trobentami in Lévijevce, Asáfove sinove, s cimbalami, da hvalijo Gospoda, po odredbi Izraelovega kralja Davida.
11 Thus they sang when they gaue prayse, and when they gaue thankes vnto the Lord, For he is good, for his mercie endureth for euer toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shoute, when they praysed the Lord, because the foundation of the house of the Lord was layed.
Peli so skupaj po skupini v slavljenju in zahvaljevanju Gospodu, ker je dober, kajti njegovo usmiljenje do Izraela traja večno. In vse ljudstvo je vriskalo z močnim vzklikanjem, ko so hvalili Gospoda, ker je bil položen temelj Gospodove hiše.
12 Many also of the Priests and the Leuites and the chiefe of the fathers, ancient men which had seene the first house, (when the foundation of this house was layed before their eyes) wept with a loud voyce, and many shouted aloud for ioy,
Vendar pa so mnogi izmed duhovnikov in Lévijevcev in vodij očetov, ki so bili starodavni ljudje, ki so videli prvo hišo, ko so bili temelji te hiše položeni pred njihovimi očmi, jokali z močnim glasom in mnogi so zaradi radosti na glas vzklikali,
13 So that the people coulde not discerne the sound of the shoute for ioy, from the noyse of the weeping of the people: for the people shouted with a loude crie, and the noyse was heard farre off.
tako da ljudstvo ni moglo razločiti glasu radostnega vzklikanja od glasu jokanja ljudstva, kajti ljudstvo je vzklikalo z glasnim vriskom in zvok je bilo slišati daleč proč.
