Nehemiah 1
1 The words of Nehemiah the sonne of Hachaliah. In ye moneth Chisleu, in the twentieth yeere, as I was in the palace of Shushan,
Rijeèi Nemije sina Ahalijina. Mjeseca Hisleva godine dvadesete kad bijah u Susanu gradu,
2 Came Hanam, one of my brethren, he and the men of Iudah, and I asked them concerning the Iewes that were deliuered, which were of the residue of the captiuitie, and concerning Ierusalem.
Doðe Ananije jedan od braæe moje s nekima iz Judeje; i zapitah ih za Judejce, za ostatak što bješe ostao od ropstva, i za Jerusalim.
3 And they sayde vnto me, The residue that are left of the captiuitie there in the prouince, are in great affliction and in reproche, and the wall of Ierusalem is broken downe, and the gates thereof are burnt with fire.
A oni mi rekoše: ostatak što osta od ropstva ondje u zemlji, u velikoj je nevolji i sramoti, i zid je Jerusalimski razvaljen i vrata su mu ognjem popaljena.
4 And when I heard these wordes, I sate downe and wept, and mourned certeine dayes, and I fasted and prayed before the God of heauen,
A kad èuh te rijeèi, sjedoh i plakah, i tužih nekoliko dana, i postih i molih se pred Bogom nebeskim,
5 And sayde, O Lord God of heauen, the great and terrible God, that keepeth couenant and mercy for them that loue him, and obserue his commandements,
I rekoh: oh Gospode Bože nebeski, Bože veliki i strašni, koji èuvaš zavjet i milost onima koji te ljube i drže tvoje zapovijesti.
6 I pray thee, let thine eares be attet, and thine eies open, to heare the praier of thy seruat, which I pray before thee dayly, day and night for ye childre of Israel thy seruats, and confesse the sinnes of the children of Israel, which we haue sinned against thee, both I and my fathers house haue sinned:
Neka bude uho tvoje prignuto i oèi tvoje otvorene da èuješ molitvu sluge svojega kojom se sada molim pred tobom dan i noæ za sinove Izrailjeve, sluge tvoje, i ispovijedam grijehe sinova Izrailjevijeh kojima ti zgriješismo.
7 We haue grieuously sinned against thee, and haue not kept the commandements, nor the statutes, nor the iudgements, which thou commandedst thy seruant Moses.
Skrivismo ti i ne držasmo zapovijesti ni uredaba ni zakona koje si zapovjedio preko Mojsija sluge svojega.
8 I beseeche thee, remember the worde that thou commandedst thy seruant Moses, saying, Ye wil transgresse, and I will scatter you abroade among the people.
Ali se opomeni rijeèi koju si zapovjedio Mojsiju sluzi svojemu govoreæi: vi æete zgriješiti i ja æu vas rasijati meðu narode;
9 But if ye turne vnto me, and keepe my commandements, and doe them, though your scattering were to the vttermost part of the heauen, yet will I gather you from thence, and will bring you vnto the place that I haue chosen to place my Name there.
Ali ako se obratite k meni i stanete držati zapovijesti moje i tvoriti ih, ako budete zagnani i na kraj svijeta, sabraæu vas odande i odvešæu vas na mjesto koje sam izabrao da ondje nastanim ime svoje.
10 Now these are thy seruants and thy people, whome thou hast redeemed by thy great power, and by thy mightie hand.
A ovo su sluge tvoje i narod tvoj, koji si iskupio silom svojom velikom i rukom svojom krjepkom.
11 O Lord, I beseech thee, let thine eare now hearken to the prayer of thy seruant, and to the prayer of thy seruants, who desire to feare thy Name, and I pray thee, cause thy seruant to prosper this day, and giue him fauour in the presence of this man: for I was the Kings butler.
Oh Gospode! neka bude uho tvoje prignuto k molitvi sluge tvojega i k molitvi sluga tvojih, koji su radi bojati se imena tvojega, i daj danas sreæu sluzi svojemu i uèini da naðe milost pred ovijem èovjekom. A ja bijah peharnik carev.
