< Ezra 3 >

1 And when the seventh month was come, and the children of Israel [were] in the cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem.
Ko je prišel sedmi mesec in so bili Izraelovi otroci v mestih, se je ljudstvo kakor en človek zbralo skupaj v Jeruzalemu.
2 Then stood up Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and his brethren, and builded the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings thereon, as [it is] written in the law 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 upon his bases; for fear [was] upon them because of the people of those countries: and they offered burnt offerings thereon unto the LORD, [even] burnt offerings morning and evening.
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 tabernacles, as [it is] written, and [offered] the daily burnt offerings by number, according to the custom, as the duty of every day required;
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 afterward [offered] the continual burnt offering, both of the new moons, and of all the set feasts of the LORD that were consecrated, and of every one that willingly offered a freewill offering unto 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 seventh month began they to offer burnt offerings unto the LORD. But the foundation of the temple of the LORD was not [yet] laid.
Od prvega dne sedmega meseca so začeli darovati žgalne daritve Gospodu. Toda temelj Gospodovega templja še ni bil položen.
7 They gave money also unto the masons, and to the carpenters; and meat, and drink, and oil, unto them of Zidon, and to them of Tyre, to bring cedar trees from Lebanon to the sea of Joppa, according to the grant 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 Now in the second year of their coming unto the house of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the remnant of their brethren the priests and the Levites, and all they that were come out of the captivity unto Jerusalem; and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to set forward the work 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 Then stood Jeshua [with] his sons and his brethren, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, together, to set forward the workmen in the house of God: the sons of Henadad, [with] their sons and their brethren the Levites.
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 laid the foundation of the temple of the LORD, they set the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the LORD, after the ordinance of David 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 And they sang together by course in praising and giving thanks unto the LORD; because [he is] good, for his mercy [endureth] for ever toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the LORD, because the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid.
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 But many of the priests and Levites and chief of the fathers, [who were] ancient men, that had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice; and many shouted aloud for joy:
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 could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people: for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard afar 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.
