Nehemiah 9

1 In the foure and twentieth day of this moneth the children of Israel were assembled with fasting, and with sackecloth, and earth vpon them.

Potom dvadeset èetvrtoga dana toga mjeseca skupiše se sinovi Izrailjevi posteæi i u kostrijeti i posuvši se zemljom.

2 (And they that were of the seede of Israel were separated from all the strangers) and they stoode and confessed their sinnes and the iniquities of their fathers.

I odvoji se sjeme Izrailjevo od svijeh tuðinaca, i stadoše te ispovijedahu grijehe svoje i bezakonja otaca svojih.

3 And they stood vp in their place and read in the booke of the Lawe of the Lord their GOD foure times on the day, and they confessed and worshipped the Lord their God foure times.

I stajahu na svom mjestu, te im se èitaše zakon Gospoda Boga njihova èetvrt dana, a drugu èetvrt ispovijedahu se i poklanjahu se Gospodu Bogu svojemu.

4 Then stoode vp vpon the staires of the Leuites Ieshua, and Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani, and cryed with a loud voyce vnto the Lord their God.

A Isus i Vanije, Kadmilo, Sevanija, Vunije, Serevija, Vanije i Hananije popevši se na mjesto podignuto za Levite vapijahu glasom velikim ka Gospodu Bogu svojemu.

5 And the Leuites said, euen Ieshua and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabniah, Sherebiah, Hodiiah, Shebaniah and Pethahiah, Stande vp, and praise the Lord your God for euer, and euer, and let them praise thy glorious Name, O God, which excelleth aboue all thankesgiuing and praise.

I rekoše Leviti Isus i Kadmilo, Vanije, Asavnija, Serevija, Odija, Sevanija i Petaja: ustanite, blagosiljajte Gospoda Boga svojega od vijeka do vijeka; i da se blagosilja ime tvoje slavno i uzvišeno svrh svakoga blagoslova i hvale.

6 Thou art Lord alone: thou hast made heauen, and the heauen of all heauens, with all their hoste, the earth, and all things that are therein, the seas, and al that are in them, and thou preseruest them all, and the host of the heauen worshippeth thee.

Ti si sam Gospod; ti si stvorio nebo, nebesa nad nebesima i svu vojsku njihovu, zemlju i sve što je na njoj, mora i sve što je u njima, i ti oživljavaš sve to, i vojska nebeska tebi se klanja.

7 Thou art, O Lord, the God, that hast chosen Abram, and broughtest him out of Vr in Caldea, and madest his name Abraham,

Ti si Gospod Bog, koji si izabrao Avrama i izveo iz Ura Haldejskoga i nadio mu ime Avraam;

8 And foundest his heart faithful before thee, and madest a couenant with him, to giue vnto his seede the lande of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, and Perizzites, and Iebusites, and Girgashites, and hast performed thy wordes, because thou art iust.

I našao si srce njegovo vjerno pred sobom, i uèinio si s njim zavjet da æeš dati zemlju Hanansku, Hetejsku, Amorejsku, Ferezejsku i Jevusejsku i Gergesejsku, da æeš dati sjemenu njegovu, i ispunio si rijeèi svoje, jer si pravedan.

9 Thou hast also considered the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and heard their cry by the red Sea,

Jer si pogledao na muku otaca naših u Misiru, i viku njihovu èuo si na Moru Crvenom;

10 And shewed tokens and wonders vpon Pharaoh, and on all his seruants, and on all the people of his land: for thou knewest that they dealt proudely against them: therefore thou madest thee a Name, as appeareth this day.

I uèinio si znake i èudesa na Faraonu i na svijem slugama njegovijem i na svem narodu zemlje njegove, jer si znao da su obijesno postupali s njima; i stekao si sebi ime, kao što se vidi danas.

11 For thou didest breake vp the Sea before them, and they went through the middes of the Sea on dry lande: and those that pursued them, hast thou cast into the bottomes as a stone, in the mightie waters:

I more si razdvojio pred njima, te prijeðoše posred mora suhim, i bacio si u dubine one koji ih gnahu kao kamen u vodu.

12 And leddest them in the day with a pillar of a cloude, and in the night with a pillar of fire to giue them light in the way that they went.

I u stupu od oblaka vodio si ih danju a noæu u stupu ognjenom svijetleæi im putem kojim æe iæi.

13 Thou camest downe also vpon mount Sinai, and spakest vnto them from heauen, and gauest them right iudgements, and true lawes, ordinances and good commandements,

I sišao si na goru Sinajsku i govorio s njima s neba, i dao im sudove prave i zakone istinite, uredbe i zapovijesti dobre.

14 And declaredst vnto them thine holy Sabbath, and commandedst them precepts, and ordinances, and lawes, by the hande of Moses thy seruant:

I obznanio si im subotu svoju svetu, i dao im zapovijesti i uredbe i zakon preko Mojsija sluge svojega.

15 And gauest them bread from heauen for their hunger, and broughtest forth water for them out of the rocke for their thirst: and promisedst them that they shoulde goe in, and take possession of the land: for the which thou haddest lift vp thine hand for to giue them.

I hljeb s neba dao si im u gladi njihovoj, i vodu iz kamena izveo si im u žeði njihovoj, i rekao si im da idu i naslijede zemlju za koju si podigao ruku svoju da æeš im je dati.

16 But they and our fathers behaued them selues proudely, and hardened their neck, so that they hearkened not vnto thy commandements,

Ali oni i oci naši uzobijestiše se i otvrdnuše vratom svojim i ne slušaše zapovijesti tvojih.

17 But refused to obey, and would not remember thy marueilous works that thou haddest done for them, but hardened their neckes, and had in their heads to returne to their bondage by their rebellion: but thou, O God of mercies, gratious and full of compassion, of long suffring and of great mercie, yet forsookest them not.

Ne htješe slušati, i ne opominjaše se èudesa tvojih koja si im èinio, nego otvrdnuše vratom svojim, i u odmetu svom postavljaše sebi voða da se vrate u ropstvo svoje. Ali ti, Bože, koji opraštaš, koji si žalostiv i milostiv, koji dugo trpiš i velike si milosti, nijesi ih ostavio.

18 Moreouer, when they made them a molten calfe (and said, This is thy God that brought thee vp out of the land of Egypt) and committed great blasphemies,

I onda kad naèiniše sebi tele liveno i rekoše: ovo je tvoj Bog koji te je izveo iz Misira, i huliše veoma,

19 Yet thou for thy great mercies forsookest them not in the wildernesse: the pillar of the cloude departed not from them by day to leade them the way, neither the pillar of fire by night, to shew them light, and the way whereby they should goe.

Ni onda ih radi velike milosti svoje nijesi ostavio u pustinji; stup od oblaka nije otstupao od njih danju vodeæi ih putem, niti stup ognjeni noæu svijetleæi im putem kojim æe iæi.

20 Thou gauest also thy good Spirite to instruct them, and withheldest not thy MAN from their mouth, and gauest them water for their thirst.

I dao si im dobri svoj duh da ih urazumljuje, i mane svoje nijesi ustegao od usta njihovijeh, i vode si im dao u žeði njihovoj.

21 Thou didest also feede them fourtie yeres in ye wildernes: they lacked nothing: their clothes waxed not old, and their feete swelled not.

I èetrdeset godina hranio si ih u pustinji, ništa im nije nedostajalo: odijelo im ne ovetša i noge im ne otekoše.

22 And thou gauest them kingdomes and people, and scatteredst them into corners: so they possessed the land of Sihon and the land of ye King of Heshbon, and the land of Og King of Bashan.

I dao si im carstva i narode, i podijelio si ih po krajevima, jer naslijediše zemlju Sionovu, zemlju cara Esevonskoga, i zemlju cara Vasanskoga;

23 And thou diddest multiplie their children, like the starres of the heauen, and broughtest them into the lande, whereof thou haddest spoken vnto their fathers, that they should goe, and possesse it.

I umnožio si sinove njihove kao zvijezde nebeske, i uveo si ih u zemlju za koju si rekao ocima njihovijem da æe uæi u nju i naslijediti je.

24 So the children went in, and possessed the lande, and thou subduedst before them the inhabitants of the lande, euen the Canaanites, and gauest them into their handes, with their Kings and the people of the lande, that they might do with them what they would.

I uðoše sinovi njihovi i naslijediše zemlju, i pokorio si im Hananeje stanovnike zemaljske i predao ih u njihove ruke, i careve njihove i narode zemaljske, da èine od njih što im je volja.

25 And they tooke their strong cities and the fat lande, and possessed houses, full of all goods, cisternes digged out, vineyardes, and oliues, and trees for foode in abundance, and they did eate, and were filled, and became fat, and liued in pleasure through thy great goodnesse.

I tako uzeše tvrde gradove i zemlju rodnu, i naslijediše kuæe pune svakoga dobra, studence iskopane, vinograde, maslinike i voæke mnoge, i jedoše i nasitiše se i ugojiše se, i blagovahu po velikoj tvojoj dobroti.

26 Yet they were disobedient, and rebelled against thee, and cast thy Lawe behinde their backes, and slewe thy Prophets (which protested among them to turne them vnto thee) and committed great blasphemies.

Ali te razgnjeviše i odmetnuše se tebe: baciše zakon tvoj za leða i proroke tvoje pobiše, koji im svjedoèahu da bi ih obratili k tebi, i huliše veoma.

27 Therefore thou deliueredst them into the hande of their enemies that vexed them: yet in the time of their affliction, when they cryed vnto thee, thou heardest them from the heauen, and through thy great mercies thou gauest them sauiours, who saued them out of the hande of their aduersaries.

Zato si ih davao u ruke neprijateljima njihovijem koji ih muèiše. A kad u nevolji svojoj vikaše k tebi, ti si ih uslišio s neba i po velikoj milosti svojoj davao si im izbavitelje, koji ih izbavljaše iz ruku neprijatelja njihovijeh.

28 But when they had rest, they returned to doe euill before thee: therefore leftest thou them in the hande of their enemies, so that they had the dominion ouer them, yet when they conuerted and cryed vnto thee, thou heardest them from heauen, and deliueredst them according to thy great mercies many times,

Ali èim otpoèinuše, opet èiniše zlo pred tobom, zato si ih ostavljao u ruku neprijatelja njihovijeh da vladaju njima; a kad se obraæaše i vikaše k tebi, ti si ih uslišio s neba i izbavljao ih po milosti svojoj mnogo puta.

29 And protestedst among them that thou mightest bring them againe vnto thy Lawe: but they behaued them selues proudely, and hearkened not vnto thy commandements, but sinned against thy iudgements (which a man should doe and liue in them) and pulled away the shoulder, and were stiffenecked, and woulde not heare.

I opominjao si ih da bi ih obratio k zakonu svojemu, ali oni bijahu obijesni i ne slušaše zapovijesti tvojih i griješiše o tvoje zakone, koje ko vrši živ æe biti kroz njih; i izmièuæi ramena svoja otvrdnuše vratom svojim i ne slušaše.

30 Yet thou diddest forbeare them many yeeres, and protestedst among them by thy Spirite, euen by the hande of thy Prophets, but they woulde not heare: therefore gauest thou them into the hande of the people of the lands.

I trpio si ih mnogo godina opominjuæi ih duhom svojim preko proroka svojih; ali ne slušaše; tada si ih dao u ruke narodima zemaljskim.

31 Yet for thy great mercies thou hast not consumed them, neither forsaken them: for thou art a gracious and mercifull God.

Ali radi milosti svoje velike nijesi dao da sasvijem propadnu niti si ih ostavio, jer si Bog milostiv i žalostiv.

32 Nowe therefore our God, thou great God, mightie and terrible, that keepest couenant and mercie, let not all the affliction that hath come vnto vs, seeme a litle before thee, that is, to our Kings, to our princes, and to our Priests, and to our Prophets, and to our fathers, and to all thy people since the time of the Kings of Asshur vnto this day.

Sada dakle, Bože naš, Bože veliki, silni i strašni, koji èuvaš zavjet i milost, nemoj da je malo pred tobom što nas snaðe sva ova muka, careve naše, knezove i sveštenike naše i proroke naše i oce naše i sav narod tvoj od vremena careva Asirskih do danas.

33 Surely thou art iust in all that is come vpon vs: for thou hast dealt truely, but we haue done wickedly.

Ti si pravedan u svemu što nas je snašlo, jer si ti pravo uèinio a mi smo bezbožno radili.

34 And our kings and our princes, our Priests and our fathers haue not done thy Lawe, nor regarded thy commandements nor thy protestations, wherewith thou hast protested among them.

I carevi naši, knezovi naši i oci naši ne izvršivaše zakona tvojega niti mariše za zapovijesti tvoje i svjedoèanstva tvoja, kojima si im svjedoèio.

35 And they haue not serued thee in their kingdome, and in thy great goodnesse that thou shewedst vnto them, and in the large and fat lande which thou diddest set before them, and haue not conuerted from their euill workes.

Jer u carstvu svom i u velikom dobru tvom koje si im èinio, i u zemlji prostranoj i rodnoj koju si im dao, ne služiše tebi niti se povratiše od zlijeh djela svojih.

36 Beholde, we are seruants this day, and the lande that thou gauest vnto our fathers, to eate the fruite thereof, and the goodnesse thereof, beholde, we are seruants therein.

Evo, mi smo danas robovi; i još u zemlji, koju si dao ocima našim da jedu rod njezin i dobra njezina, evo mi smo robovi u njoj.

37 And it yeeldeth much fruit vnto the kings whom thou hast set ouer vs, because of our sinnes: and they haue dominion ouer our bodyes and ouer our cattell at their pleasure, and we are in great affliction.

I ona rod svoj obilati raða carevima koje si postavio nad nama za grijehe naše, i koji gospodare nad našim tjelesima i nad stokom našom po svojoj volji, te smo u velikoj tjeskobi.

38 Now because of all this we make a sure couenant, and write it, and our princes, our Leuites and our Priestes seale vnto it.

A radi svega toga èinimo tvrd zavjet i pišemo, a knezovi naši, Leviti naši, sveštenici naši peèate.
