Ezra 6
1 Then Darius the king made a decree, and search was made in the house of the archives, where the treasures were laid up, in Babylon.
Tada, po naredbi kralja Darija, uzeše tražiti u Babilonu, u spremištu gdje je bila pismohrana,
2 And there was found at Ahmetha, in the palace that is in the province of Media, a roll, and therein was thus written: 'A record.
i nađoše u Ekbatani, tvrđavi u medijskoj pokrajini, svitak s ovom poveljom: “Na spomen.
3 In the first year of Cyrus the king, Cyrus the king made a decree: Concerning the house of God at Jerusalem, let the house be builded, the place where they offer sacrifices, and let the foundations thereof be strongly laid; the height thereof threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof threescore cubits;
Prve godine kraljevanja Kira proglasio je kralj Kir: Dom Božji u Jeruzalemu. Dom neka se sagradi kao mjesto gdje će se prinositi žrtve i gdje će se donositi prinosi za paljenje. Neka bude visok šezdeset lakata i širok šezdeset lakata.
4 with three rows of great stones, and a row of new timber, and let the expenses be given out of the king's house;
Tri reda neka budu od velikog kamenja, a jedan od drveta. Trošak će se podmiriti iz kraljevskog dvora.
5 and also let the gold and silver vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took forth out of the temple which is at Jerusalem, and brought unto Babylon, be restored, and brought back unto the temple which is at Jerusalem, every one to its place, and thou shalt put them in the house of God.'
Povrh toga, posuđe zlatno i srebrno iz Doma Božjeg koje Nabukodonozor bijaše uzeo iz svetišta u Jeruzalemu i prenio u Babilon neka se vrati i bude na svome mjestu u svetištu jeruzalemskom i neka se postavi u Domu Božjem.”
6 'Now therefore, Tattenai, governor beyond the River, Shethar-bozenai, and your companions the Apharesachites, who are beyond the River, be ye far from thence;
“Sada, dakle, Tatnaju, satrape s onu stranu Rijeke, Šetar Boznaju i drugovi vaši poslanici s onu stranu Rijeke, udaljite se odatle!
7 let the work of this house of God alone; let the governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews build this house of God in its place.
Pustite neka taj Dom Božji grade upravitelji i starješine židovske. Dom Božji treba sagraditi na njegovu prvotnom mjestu.
8 Moreover I make a decree concerning what ye shall do to these elders of the Jews for the building of this house of God; that of the king's goods, even of the tribute beyond the River, expenses be given with all diligence unto these men, that they be not hindered.
Evo mojih naredaba o vašem držanju prema starješinama judejskim kako bi se ponovo sagradio taj Dom Božji: od kraljevskog blaga - to jest od danka s onu stranu Rijeke - neka se plaća onim ljudima brižljivo, bez prijekida,
9 And that which they have need of, both young bullocks, and rams, and lambs, for burnt-offerings to the God of heaven, wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the word of the priests that are at Jerusalem, let it be given them day by day without fail;
i što im bude trebalo za žrtve paljenice Bogu neba: junaca, ovnova i jaganjaca, i pšenice, soli, vina i ulja, neka im se redovito daje svakoga dana, prema uputama svećenika u Jeruzalemu.
10 that they may offer sacrifices of sweet savour unto the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king, and of his sons.
Neka prinose žrtve na ugodan miris Bogu neba, neka mole za život kralja i njegovih sinova.
11 Also I have made a decree, that whosoever shall alter this word, let a beam be pulled out from his house, and let him be lifted up and fastened thereon; and let his house be made a dunghill for this;
Naređujem osim toga: tko god prekrši ovu naredbu, neka mu se izvadi greda iz kuće pa neka na njoj bude pogubljen, a kuća da mu zato postane bunište.
12 and may the God that hath caused His name to dwell there overthrow all kings and peoples, that shall put forth their hand to alter the same, to destroy this house of God which is at Jerusalem. I Darius have made a decree; let it be done with all diligence.'
I Bog, koji je ondje nastanio svoje Ime, neka obori svakog kralja i narod koji bi se drznuo da prekrši moju naredbu i sruši Dom Božji u Jeruzalemu! Ja, Darije, izdao sam ovu zapovijed. Neka se točno vrši!”
13 Then Tattenai, the governor beyond the River, Shethar-bozenai, and their companions, because that Darius the king had thus sent, acted with all diligence.
Tada Tatnaj, satrap s onu stranu Rijeke, Šetar Boznaj i njihovi drugovi učiniše onako kako je zapovjedio kralj Darije.
14 And the elders of the Jews builded and prospered, through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. And they builded and finished it, according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the decree of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.
A židovske su starješine nastavile uspješno graditi po nadahnuću proroka Hagaja i Zaharije, sina Adonova. Dovršili su gradnju po naredbi Boga Izraelova i po naredbi Kira i Darija i Artakserksa, kralja perzijskoga.
15 And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.
Hram je zavšen dvadeset i trećeg dana mjeseca Adara. Bilo je to šeste godine vladavine kralja Darija.
16 And the children of Israel, the priests and the Levites, and the rest of the children of the captivity, kept the dedication of this house of God with joy.
Izraelci - svećenici, leviti i ostatak povratnika iz sužanjstva - radosno posvetiše taj Dom Božji.
17 And they offered at the dedication of this house of God a hundred bullocks, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs; and for a sin-offering for all Israel, twelve he-goats, according to the number of the tribes of Israel.
Žrtvovaše za posvećenje Doma Božjega stotinu junaca, dvije stotine ovnova, četiri stotine janjaca i, kao žrtvu za grijehe svega Izraela, dvanaest jaraca - prema broju plemena Izraelovih.
18 And they set the priests in their divisions, and the Levites in their courses, for the service of God, which is at Jerusalem; as it is written in the book of Moses.
Zatim postaviše svećenike po njihovim redovima i levite po njihovim razredima za službu Domu Božjem u Jeruzalemu, kako je propisano u knjizi Mojsijevoj.
19 And the children of the captivity kept the passover upon the fourteenth day of the first month.
Povratnici iz sužanjstva slavili su Pashu četrnaestog dana prvoga mjeseca.
20 For the priests and the Levites had purified themselves together; all of them were pure; and they killed the passover lamb for all the children of the captivity, and for their brethren the priests, and for themselves.
Svi su se leviti, kao jedan čovjek, očistili: svi su bili čisti; žrtvovali su pashu za sve povratnike iz ropstva, za svoju braću svećenike i za sebe.
21 And the children of Israel, that were come back out of the captivity, and all such as had separated themselves unto them from the filthiness of the nations of the land, to seek the LORD, the God of Israel, did eat,
Blagovali su pashu Izraelci koji su se vratili iz ropstva i svi oni koji su im se, prekinuvši s nečistoćom naroda zemlje, pridružili da traže Jahvu, Boga Izraelova.
22 and kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy; for the LORD had made them joyful, and had turned the heart of the king of Assyria unto them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.
I svetkovahu radosno Blagdan beskvasnih hljebova sedam dana: jer ih je Jahve ispunio radošću i obratio prema njima srce asirskog kralja da ojača njihove ruke u radovima oko Doma Boga, Boga Izraelova.
