Ezra 9
1 And at the completion of these things, the heads have drawn near to me, saying, “The people of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites, have not been separated from the peoples of the lands, as to their abominations, even the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Jebusite, the Ammonite, the Moabite, the Egyptian, and the Amorite,
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 to them, and to their sons, and the holy seed have mingled themselves among the peoples of the lands, and the hand of the heads and of the seconds have been first 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 at my hearing this word, I have torn my garment and my upper robe, and pluck out of the hair of my head, and of my beard, and sit astonished,
I kad èuh to, razdrijeh haljinu svoju i plašt svoj, i skuboh kosu s glave svoje i bradu svoju, i sjedoh tužan.
4 and to me are gathered everyone trembling at the words of the God of Israel, because of the trespass of the expulsion, and I am sitting astonished until the present of the evening.
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 present of the evening I have risen from my affliction, and at my tearing my garment and my upper robe, then I bow down on my knees, and spread out my hands to my God YHWH,
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 say, “O my God, I have been ashamed, and have blushed to lift up, O my God, my face to You, for our iniquities have increased over the head, and our guilt has become great to 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 From the days of our fathers we [are] in great guilt to this day, and in our iniquities we have been given—we, our kings, our priests—into the hand of the kings of the lands, with sword, with captivity, and with spoiling, and with shame of face, as [at] 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, as a small moment grace has been from our God YHWH, to leave an escape for us, and to give to us a nail in His holy place, by our God’s enlightening our eyes, and by giving us a little quickening in our servitude;
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 [are] servants, and in our servitude our God has not forsaken us, and stretches out to us kindness before the kings of Persia, to give to us a quickening to lift up the house of our God, and to cause its ruins to cease, and to give to 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, what do we say, O our God, after this? For we have forsaken Your commands,
Sada dakle šta da kažemo, Bože naš, poslije toga? jer ostavismo zapovijesti tvoje,
11 that You have commanded by the hands of Your servants the prophets, saying, The land into which you are going to possess it, [is] a land of impurity, by the impurity of the people of the lands, by their abominations with which they have filled it—from mouth to mouth—by 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 and now, your daughters you do not give to their sons, and their daughters you do not take to your sons, and you do not seek their peace, and their good—for all time, so that you are strong, and have eaten the good of the land, and given possession to your sons for all time.
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 has come on us for our evil works, and for our great guilt (for You, O our God, have kept back of the rod from our iniquities, and have given to us an escape like 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 do we turn back to break Your commands, and to join ourselves in marriage with the people of these abominations? Are You not angry against us—even to consumption—until there is no remnant and escaped part?
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 YHWH, God of Israel, You [are] righteous, for we have been left an escape, as [it is] this day; behold, we [are] before You in our guilt, for there is none to stand before You concerning 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.
