Nehemiah 13
1 On that day they read in the book of Moses in the audience of the people; and therein was found written, that the Ammonite and the Moabite should not come into the congregation of God for ever;
U to vrijeme èita se knjiga Mojsijeva narodu, i u njoj se naðe napisano da ne ulazi Amonac ni Moavac u sabor Božji dovijeka;
2 Because they met not the children of Israel with bread and with water, but hired Balaam against them, that he should curse them: howbeit our God turned the curse into a blessing.
Jer ne sretoše sinova Izrailjevijeh s hljebom i vodom, nego najmiše na njih Valama da ih prokune, ali Bog naš obrati onu kletvu u blagoslov.
3 Now it came to pass, when they had heard the law, that they separated from Israel all the mixed multitude.
A kad èuše taj zakon, odluèiše od Izrailja sve tuðince.
4 And before this, Eliashib the priest, having the oversight of the chamber of the house of our God, [was] allied unto Tobiah:
A prije toga Elijasiv sveštenik, koji bješe nad klijetima doma Boga našega, oprijatelji se s Tovijom,
5 And he had prepared for him a great chamber, where aforetime they laid the meat offerings, the frankincense, and the vessels, and the tithes of the corn, the new wine, and the oil, which was commanded [to be given] to the Levites, and the singers, and the porters; and the offerings of the priests.
I naèini mu veliku klijet, gdje se prije ostavljahu dari i kad i sudovi i desetak od žita, vina i ulja, odreðeni Levitima i pjevaèima i vratarima, i prinosi za sveštenike.
6 But in all this [time] was not I at Jerusalem: for in the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon came I unto the king, and after certain days obtained I leave of the king:
A kad to sve bivaše, ne bjeh u Jerusalimu, jer trideset druge godine Artakserksa cara Vavilonskoga vratih se k caru, i poslije nekoliko godina izmolih se opet u cara.
7 And I came to Jerusalem, and understood of the evil that Eliashib did for Tobiah, in preparing him a chamber in the courts of the house of God.
I kad doðoh u Jerusalim, vidjeh zlo što uèini Elijasiv radi Tovije naèinivši mu klijet u trijemu doma Božijega.
8 And it grieved me sore: therefore I cast forth all the household stuff of Tobiah out of the chamber.
I bi mi vrlo mrsko, te izbacih sve pokuæstvo Tovijino napolje iz klijeti.
9 Then I commanded, and they cleansed the chambers: and thither brought I again the vessels of the house of God, with the meat offering and the frankincense.
I zapovjedih, te oèistiše klijeti; i unesoh u njih opet posuðe doma Božijega, dare i kad.
10 And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given [them: ] for the Levites and the singers, that did the work, were fled every one to his field.
Potom doznah da se Levitima nijesu davali dijelovi, te su se razbjegli svaki na svoju njivu i Leviti i pjevaèi, koji raðahu posao.
11 Then contended I with the rulers, and said, Why is the house of God forsaken? And I gathered them together, and set them in their place.
I ukorih starješine i rekoh: zašto je ostavljen dom Božji? I sabrah ih opet i postavih na njihovo mjesto.
12 Then brought all Judah the tithe of the corn and the new wine and the oil unto the treasuries.
I svi Judejci donosiše desetke od žita i vina i ulja u spreme.
13 And I made treasurers over the treasuries, Shelemiah the priest, and Zadok the scribe, and of the Levites, Pedaiah: and next to them [was] Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah: for they were counted faithful, and their office [was] to distribute unto their brethren.
I postavih nastojnike nad spremama, Selemiju sveštenika i Sadoka književnika, i izmeðu Levita Fedaju, i uz njih Anana sina Zahura sina Matanijina, jer se za vjerne držahu; i bijaše im posao dijeliti braæi svojoj.
14 Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and wipe not out my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for the offices thereof.
Pomeni me, Bože moj, za to, i nemoj izbrisati dobara mojih koja uèinih domu Boga svojega i službi njegovoj.
15 In those days saw I in Judah [some] treading wine presses on the sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and lading asses; as also wine, grapes, and figs, and all [manner of] burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the sabbath day: and I testified [against them] in the day wherein they sold victuals.
U to vrijeme vidjeh u Judeji gdje gaze u kacama u subotu i nose snopove natovarivši na magarce, i vino, grožðe i smokve i svakojake tovare, i nose u Jerusalim u subotu, i prekorih ih onaj dan kad prodavahu žitak.
16 There dwelt men of Tyre also therein, which brought fish, and all manner of ware, and sold on the sabbath unto the children of Judah, and in Jerusalem.
I Tirci koji življahu u Jerusalimu donošahu ribu i svakojaki trg i prodavahu u subotu sinovima Judinijem u Jerusalimu.
17 Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said unto them, What evil thing [is] this that ye do, and profane the sabbath day?
Zato prekorih glavare Judejske i rekoh im: kako je to zlo što èinite te skvrnite subotu?
18 Did not your fathers thus, and did not our God bring all this evil upon us, and upon this city? yet ye bring more wrath upon Israel by profaning the sabbath.
Nijesu li tako èinili oci vaši, te Bog naš pusti na nas i na ovaj grad sve ovo zlo? I vi još umnožavate gnjev na Izrailja skvrneæi subotu.
19 And it came to pass, that when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the sabbath, I commanded that the gates should be shut, and charged that they should not be opened till after the sabbath: and [some] of my servants set I at the gates, [that] there should no burden be brought in on the sabbath day.
I kad doðe sjen na vrata Jerusalimska uoèi subote, zapovjedih te zatvoriše vrata, i zapovjedih da ih ne otvoraju do poslije subote; i postavih nekoliko svojih momaka na vratima da se ne unosi nikakav tovar u subotu.
20 So the merchants and sellers of all kind of ware lodged without Jerusalem once or twice.
I prenoæiše trgovci i koji prodavahu svakojaki trg iza Jerusalima jednom i drugom.
21 Then I testified against them, and said unto them, Why lodge ye about the wall? if ye do [so] again, I will lay hands on you. From that time forth came they no [more] on the sabbath.
I opomenuh ih i rekoh im: zašto noæujete oko zida? Ako još jednom to uèinite, uložiæu na vas. Od tada ne dolaziše u subotu.
22 And I commanded the Levites that they should cleanse themselves, and [that] they should come [and] keep the gates, to sanctify the sabbath day. Remember me, O my God, [concerning] this also, and spare me according to the greatness of thy mercy.
A Levitima zapovjedih da se oèiste i da doðu i èuvaju vrata da bude svet dan subotni. I za ovo pomeni me, Bože moj, i oprosti mi po velikoj milosti svojoj.
23 In those days also saw I Jews [that] had married wives of Ashdod, of Ammon, [and] of Moab:
Još vidjeh u to vrijeme Judejce koji se bijahu oženili Azoæankama, Amonkama i Moavkama.
24 And their children spake half in the speech of Ashdod, and could not speak in the Jews’ language, but according to the language of each people.
I sinovi njihovi govorahu pola Azotski, i ne umijahu govoriti Judejski nego jezikom i jednoga i drugoga naroda.
25 And I contended with them, and cursed them, and smote certain of them, and plucked off their hair, and made them swear by God, [saying], Ye shall not give your daughters unto their sons, nor take their daughters unto your sons, or for yourselves.
Zato ih karah i psovah, i neke izmeðu njih bih i èupah, i zakleh ih Bogom da ne daju kæeri svojih sinovima njihovijem niti da uzimaju kæeri njihovijeh za sinove svoje ili za sebe.
26 Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? yet among many nations was there no king like him, who was beloved of his God, and God made him king over all Israel: nevertheless even him did outlandish women cause to sin.
Nije li tijem zgriješio Solomun car Izrailjev, ako i ne bješe u mnogim narodima cara njemu ravna i mio bješe Bogu svojemu i Bog ga bješe postavio carem nad svijem Izrailjem? pa opet ga navratiše na grijeh žene tuðinke.
27 Shall we then hearken unto you to do all this great evil, to transgress against our God in marrying strange wives?
A vama li æemo dopustiti da èinite to sve veliko zlo i griješite Bogu našemu uzimajuæi žene tuðinke?
28 And [one] of the sons of Joiada, the son of Eliashib the high priest, [was] son in law to Sanballat the Horonite: therefore I chased him from me.
I od sinova Jojade sina Elijasiva poglavara sveštenièkoga jedan bješe zet Sanavalatu Oronjaninu, kojega otjerah od sebe.
29 Remember them, O my God, because they have defiled the priesthood, and the covenant of the priesthood, and of the Levites.
Pomeni ih, Bože moj, što oskvrniše sveštenstvo i zavjet sveštenièki i Levitski.
30 Thus cleansed I them from all strangers, and appointed the wards of the priests and the Levites, every one in his business;
I tako ih oèistih od svijeh tuðinaca, i opet postavih redove sveštenièke i Levitske, svakoga na posao njegov,
31 And for the wood offering, at times appointed, and for the firstfruits. Remember me, O my God, for good.
I da se donose drva za žrtve na rokove, i prvine. Pomeni me, Bože moj, na dobro.
