Nehemiah 1
1 The words of Nehemiah the son of Hachaliah. And it came to pass in the month Chisleu, in the twentieth year, as I was in Shushan the palace,
Rijeèi Nemije sina Ahalijina. Mjeseca Hisleva godine dvadesete kad bijah u Susanu gradu,
2 That Hanani, one of my brothers, came, he and certain men of Judah; and I asked them concerning the Jews that had escaped, which were left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem.
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 said to me, The remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction and reproach: the wall of Jerusalem also is broken down, and the gates thereof are burned 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 it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven,
A kad èuh te rijeèi, sjedoh i plakah, i tužih nekoliko dana, i postih i molih se pred Bogom nebeskim,
5 And said, I beseech you, O LORD God of heaven, the great and terrible God, that keeps covenant and mercy for them that love him and observe his commandments:
I rekoh: oh Gospode Bože nebeski, Bože veliki i strašni, koji èuvaš zavjet i milost onima koji te ljube i drže tvoje zapovijesti.
6 Let your ear now be attentive, and your eyes open, that you may hear the prayer of your servant, which I pray before you now, day and night, for the children of Israel your servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against you: both I and my father’s house have 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 have dealt very corruptly against you, and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the judgments, which you commanded your servant Moses.
Skrivismo ti i ne držasmo zapovijesti ni uredaba ni zakona koje si zapovjedio preko Mojsija sluge svojega.
8 Remember, I beseech you, the word that you commanded your servant Moses, saying, If you transgress, I will scatter you abroad among the nations:
Ali se opomeni rijeèi koju si zapovjedio Mojsiju sluzi svojemu govoreæi: vi æete zgriješiti i ja æu vas rasijati meðu narode;
9 But if you turn to me, and keep my commandments, and do them; though there were of you cast out to the uttermost part of the heaven, yet will I gather them from there, and will bring them to the place that I have chosen to set 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 your servants and your people, whom you have redeemed by your great power, and by your strong hand.
A ovo su sluge tvoje i narod tvoj, koji si iskupio silom svojom velikom i rukom svojom krjepkom.
11 O LORD, I beseech you, let now your ear be attentive to the prayer of your servant, and to the prayer of your servants, who desire to fear your name: and prosper, I pray you, your servant this day, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man. For I was the king’s cupbearer.
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.
