Nehemiah 13
1 On that day there was read in the book of Moses before the ears of the people; and there was found written therein, that no 'Ammonite or Moabite should come into the congregation of God for ever;
У то време чита се књига Мојсијева народу, и у њој се нађе написано да не улази Амонац ни Моавац у сабор Божји до века;
2 Because they had not met the children of Israel with bread and with water, but had hired Bil'am against them, that he should curse them; although our God had changed the curse into a blessing.
Јер не сретоше синове израиљеве с хлебом и водом, него најмише на њих Валама да их прокуне, али Бог наш обрати ону клетву у благослов.
3 And it tame to pass, when they had heard the law, that they separated all the alien mixture from Israel.
А кад чуше тај закон одлучише од Израиља све туђинце.
4 And before this, Elyashib the priest, appointed over the chambers of the house of our God, and a near [of kin] unto Tobiyah,
А пре тога Елијасив свештеник, који беше над клетима дома Бога нашег, опријатељи се с Товијом,
5 Had prepared for him a large chamber, where they had laid in former times the meat-offerings, the frankincense, and the vessels, and the tithes of the corn, the new wine, and the oil, which was ordained for the Levites, and the singers, and the gatekeepers, and the heave-offering of the priests.
И начини му велику клет, где се пре остављаху дари и кад и судови и десетак од жита, вина и уља, одређени Левитима и певачима и вратарима, и приноси за свештенике.
6 But during all this I was not at Jerusalem; for in the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes the king of Babylon I went back unto the king, and after the lapse of some time I obtained by request [leave] of the king;
А кад то све биваше, не бејах у Јерусалиму, јер тридесет друге године Артаксеркса, цара вавилонског, вратих се к цару, и после неколико година измолих се опет у цара.
7 And I came to Jerusalem, and perceived the evil that Elyashib had done for Tobiyah, in preparing for him a chamber in the courts of the house of God.
И кад дођох у Јерусалим, видех зло што учини Елијасив ради Товије начинивши му клет у трему дома Божјег.
8 And it displeased me greatly: wherefore I cast forth all the household vessels of Tobiyah away out of the chamber.
И би ми врло мрско, те избацих све покућство Товијино напоље из клети.
9 And I gave the order, whereupon they cleansed the chambers; and I had brought thither again the vessels of the house of God, with the meat-offering and the frankincense.
И заповедих, те очистише клети; и унесох у њих опет посуђе дома Божјег, даре и кад.
10 And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given [them]: so that the Levites and the singers, that used to do the work, were fled every one to his field.
Потом дознах да се Левитима нису давали делови, те су се разбегли сваки на своју њиву и Левити и певачи, који рађаху посао.
11 Then contended I with the rulers, and said, Why hath the house of God become forsaken? And I gathered them together, and placed them on their posts.
И укорих старешине и рекох: Зашто је остављен дом Божји? И сабрах их опет и поставих на њихово место.
12 And all Judah brought the tithe of the corn and the new wine and the oil unto the treasuries.
И сви Јудејци доносише десетке од жита и вина и уља у спреме.
13 And I appointed receivers over the treasuries, Shelemyah the priest and Zadok the scribe, and Pedayah of the Levites; and with them acted Chanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Matthanyah; for they were accounted as faithful, and it was their duty to make a distribution among their brethren.
И поставих настојнике над спремама, Селмију свештеника и Садока књижевника, и између Левита Федају, и уз њих Анана, сина Захура сина Матанијиног, јер се за верне држаху; и беше им посао делити браћи својој.
14 Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and wipe not out my pious deeds which I have done for the house of my God, and for those that had charge of it.
Помени ме, Боже мој, зато, и немој избрисати добра мојих која учиних дому Бога свог и служби његовој.
15 In those days I saw in Judah some treading wine-presses on the sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and lading burdens on asses, as also wine, grapes and figs, and all manner of burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the sabbath day; and I warned them on the day whereon they sold provisions.
У то време видех у Јудеји где газе у кацама у суботу и носе снопове натоваривши на магарце, и вино, грожђе и смокве и свакојаке товаре, и носе у Јерусалим у суботу, и прекорих их онај дан кад продаваху житак.
16 Also the men of Tyre [that] dwelt therein brought fish and all kinds of wares, and sold [them] on the sabbath unto the children of Judah and in Jerusalem.
И Тирци који живљаху у Јерусалиму доношаху рибу и свакојаки трг и продаваху у суботу синовима Јудиним у Јерусалиму.
17 Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said unto them, What evil thing is this which ye are doing, and profaning [thereby] the sabbath day?
Зато прекорих главаре јудејске и рекох им: Какво је то зло што чините те скврните суботу?
18 Did not your fathers act thus, wherefore our God brought over us all this evil, and over this city? and ye bring yet more wrath over Israel by profaning the sabbath.
Нису ли тако чинили оци ваши, те Бог наш пусти на нас и на овај град све ово зло? И ви још умножавате гнев на Израиља скврнећи суботу.
19 And it came to pass, that, when the shadows were lengthened in the gates of Jerusalem before the sabbath, I gave the order, whereupon the gates were locked, and I ordered that they should not be opened till after the sabbath: and some of my young men did I place at the gates, that there should be brought in no burden on the sabbath-day.
И кад дође сен на врата јерусалимска уочи суботе, заповедих те затворише врата, и заповедих да их не отварају до после суботе; и поставих неколико својих момака на вратима да се не уноси никакав товар у суботу.
20 But the merchants and sellers of all kinds of wares lodged outside of Jerusalem once or twice.
И преноћише трговци и који продаваху свакојаки трг иза Јерусалима једном и другом.
21 Thereupon did I warn them, and said unto them, Why do ye lodge along the wall? if ye do so again, I will lay hands on you. From that time forth they came no more on the sabbath.
И опоменух их и рекох им: Зашто ноћујете око зида? Ако још једном то учините, уложићу на вас. Од тада не долазише у суботу.
22 And I ordered the Levites that they should cleanse themselves, and that they should come and keep watch at the gates, to sanctify the sabbath-day. Also this remember unto me, O my God, and shield me according to the abundance of thy kindness.
А Левитима заповедих да се очисте и да дођу и чувају врата да буде свет дан суботни. И за ово помени ме, Боже мој, и опрости ми по великој милости својој.
23 In those days also I saw certain Jews that had brought home wives of Ashdod, of 'Ammon, and of Moab:
Још видех у то време Јудејце који се беху оженили Азоћанкама, Амонкама и Моавкама.
24 And their children spoke partly in the speech of Ashdod, and did not understand to speak in the Jewish language, but according to the language of one or the other people.
И синови њихови говораху пола азотски, и не умеху говорити јудејски него језиком и једног и другог народа.
25 And I contended with them, and cursed them, and smote certain of them, and plucked out their hair, and made them swear by God, saying, Ye shall not give your daughters unto their sons, nor take their daughters for your sons, nor for yourselves.
Зато их карах и псовах, и неке између њих бих и чупах, и заклех их Богом да не дају кћери своје синовима њиховим нити да узимају кћери њихове за синове своје или за себе.
26 Did not Solomon the king of Israel sin by these things? and although among the many nations there was never a king like him, and beloved as he was by his God, and God had placed him as king over all Israel: nevertheless even him did the alien women mislead to sin.
Није ли тим згрешио Соломун, цар Израиљев, ако и не беше у многим народима цара њему равног и мио беше Богу свом и Бог га беше поставио царем над свим Израиљем? Па опет га навратише на грех жене туђинке.
27 Shall we then hear it said of you, that ye do all this great evil, to trespass against our God in bringing home alien wives?
А вама ли ћемо допустити да чините то све велико зло и грешите Богу нашем узимајући жене туђинке?
28 And one of the sons of Joyada', the son of Elyashib the high priest, was son-in-law to Sanballat the Choronite; wherefore I chased him away from me.
И од синова Јојаде, сина Елијасива поглавара свештеничког, један беше зет Санавалату Ороњанину, ког отерах од себе.
29 Remember [this] unto them, O my God, because of the defilements of the priesthood, and of the covenant of the priesthood, and of the Levites.
Помени их, Боже мој, што оскрвнише свештенство и завет свештенички и левитски.
30 Thus cleansed I them from all aliens, and I appointed the watches of the priests and the Levites, every one in his work;
И тако их очистих од свих туђинаца, и опет поставих редове свештеничке и левитске, сваког на посао његов,
31 And for the procuring of the wood, at fixed time, and for the first-fruits. Remember this unto me, O my God, for good.
И да се доносе дрва за жртве на рокове, и првине. Помени ме, Боже мој, на добро.
