Ezra 9
1 Now when these things were done, the princes came to me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the people of the lands, [doing] according to their abominations, [even] of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites.
A kad se to svrši, pristupiše k meni knezovi govoreæi: narod Izrailjev i sveštenici i Leviti nijesu se odvojili od naroda zemaljskih radi gadova njihovijeh, od Hananeja, Heteja, Ferezeja, Jevuseja, Amonaca, Moavaca, Misiraca i Amoreja.
2 For they have taken of their daughters for themselves, and for their sons: so that the holy seed have mingled themselves with the people of [those] lands: yea, the hand of the princes and rulers hath been chief in this trespass.
Jer uzeše kæeri njihove sebi i sinovima svojim, te se pomiješa sveto sjeme s narodima zemaljskim; i ruka sveštenièka i glavarska bješe prva u tom prijestupu.
3 And when I heard this thing, I rent my garment and my mantle, and plucked off the hair of my head and of my beard, and sat down astonied.
I kad èuh to, razdrijeh haljinu svoju i plašt svoj, i skuboh kosu s glave svoje i bradu svoju, i sjedoh tužan.
4 Then were assembled unto me every one that trembled at the words of the God of Israel, because of the transgression of those that had been carried away; and I sat astonied until the evening sacrifice.
I skupiše se k meni svi koji se bojahu rijeèi Boga Izrailjeva za prijestup onijeh koji doðoše iz ropstva, a ja sjeðah tužan do veèernje žrtve.
5 And at the evening sacrifice I arose up from my heaviness; and having rent my garment and my mantle, I fell upon my knees, and spread out my hands unto the LORD my God,
A o veèernjoj žrtvi ustah od jada svojega u razdrtoj haljini i plaštu, i klekavši na koljena svoja raširih ruke svoje ka Gospodu Bogu svojemu,
6 And said, O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to thee, my God: for our iniquities are increased over [our] head, and our trespass is grown up unto the heavens.
I rekoh: Bože moj! stidim se i sramim se podignuti oèi svoje k tebi, Bože moj; jer bezakonja naša namnožiše se svrh glave i krivice naše narastoše do neba.
7 Since the days of our fathers [have] we [been] in a great trespass unto this day; and for our iniquities have we, our kings, [and] our priests, been delivered into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, and to a spoil, and to confusion of face, as [it is] this day.
Od vremena otaca svojih do danas pod krivicom smo velikom, i za bezakonja svoja bismo predani mi i carevi naši i sveštenici naši u ruke carevima zemaljskim pod maè, u ropstvo, u grabež i u sramotu, kao što se vidi danas.
8 And now for a little space grace hath been [shewed] from the LORD our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a nail in his holy place, that our God may lighten our eyes, and give us a little reviving in our bondage.
A sada zaèas doðe nam milost od Gospoda Boga našega, te nam ostavi ostatak i dade nam klin u svetom mjestu svom da bi prosvijetlio oèi naše Bog naš i dao nam da malo odahnemo u ropstvu svojem.
9 For we [were] bondmen; yet our God hath not forsaken us in our bondage, but hath extended mercy unto us in the sight of the kings of Persia, to give us a reviving, to set up the house of our God, and to repair the desolations thereof, and to give us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem.
Jer roblje smo, ali u ropstvu našem nije nas ostavio Bog naš, nego nam dade te naðosmo milost pred carevima Persijskim davši nam da odahnemo da podignemo dom Boga svojega i opravimo pustoline njegove, i davši nam ogradu u Judeji u Jerusalimu.
10 And now, O our God, what shall we say after this? for we have forsaken thy commandments,
Sada dakle šta da kažemo, Bože naš, poslije toga? jer ostavismo zapovijesti tvoje,
11 Which thou hast commanded by thy servants the prophets, saying, The land, unto which ye go to possess it, is an unclean land with the filthiness of the people of the lands, with their abominations, which have filled it from one end to another with their uncleanness.
Koje si zapovjedio preko sluga svojih proroka govoreæi: zemlja u koju idete da je naslijedite zemlja je neèista od neèistote naroda zemaljskih, s gadova njihovijeh, kojima je napuniše od kraja do kraja u neèistoti svojoj.
12 Now therefore give not your daughters unto their sons, neither take their daughters unto your sons, nor seek their peace or their wealth for ever: that ye may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and leave [it] for an inheritance to your children for ever.
I zato kæeri svojih ne dajite za sinove njihove, i kæeri njihovijeh ne uzimajte za sinove svoje, i ne tražite mira njihova ni dobra njihova dovijeka da biste se okrijepili i jeli dobra one zemlje i ostavili je u našljedstvo sinovima svojim dovijeka.
13 And after all that is come upon us for our evil deeds, and for our great trespass, seeing that thou our God hast punished us less than our iniquities [deserve], and hast given us [such] deliverance as this;
I poslije svega što doðe na nas za zla djela naša i za veliku krivicu našu, jer si nas, Bože naš, pokarao manje nego što grijesi naši zaslužuju, i dao si nam ostatak ovaki,
14 Should we again break thy commandments, and join in affinity with the people of these abominations? wouldest not thou be angry with us till thou hadst consumed [us], so that [there should be] no remnant nor escaping?
Eda li æemo opet prestupati zapovijesti tvoje i prijateljiti se s ovijem gadnijem narodima? Ne bi li se razgnjevio na nas dokle nas ne bi potro da nijedan ne ostane i ne izbavi se?
15 O LORD God of Israel, thou [art] righteous: for we remain yet escaped, as [it is] this day: behold, we [are] before thee in our trespasses: for we cannot stand before thee because of this.
Gospode Bože Izrailjev! ti si pravedan, jer ostasmo ostatak, kao što se vidi danas. Evo mi smo pred tobom s krivicom svojom, premda se ne može stajati pred tobom za to.
