Ezra 9
1 Now when these things were completed, the leaders approached me and said, "The people of Israel, and the priests and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the peoples of the lands, following their abominations, even those of the Canaanites, the Hethites, 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 mixed themselves with the peoples of the lands. Indeed, the hand of the officials and leaders has been foremost 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 When I heard this thing, I tore my garment and my robe, and plucked off the hair of my head and of my beard, and sat down confounded.
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 to me everyone who trembled at the words of the God of Israel, because of their trespass of the captivity; and I sat confounded until the evening offering.
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 At the evening offering I arose up from my humiliation, even with my garment and my robe torn; and I fell on my knees, and spread out my hands to 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 I said, "My God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to you, my God; for our iniquities have increased over our head, and our guiltiness has grown up 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 Since the days of our fathers we have been exceeding guilty to this day; and for our iniquities we, our kings, and our priests, have been delivered into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, to plunder, 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 Now for a little moment grace has been shown 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 are bondservants; yet our God has not forsaken us in our bondage, but has extended loving kindness to 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 its ruins, 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 "Now, our God, what shall we say after this? For we have forsaken your commandments,
Sada dakle šta da kažemo, Bože naš, poslije toga? jer ostavismo zapovijesti tvoje,
11 which you have commanded by your servants the prophets, saying, 'The land, to which you go to possess it, is an unclean land through the uncleanness of the peoples of the lands, through their abominations, which have filled it from one end to another with their filthiness.
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 do not give your daughters to their sons, neither take their daughters to your sons, nor seek their peace or their prosperity forever; that you may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children forever.'
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 "After all that has come on us for our evil deeds, and for our great guilt, since you, our God, have punished us less than our iniquities deserve, and have given us such a remnant,
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 shall we again break your commandments, and join in affinity with the peoples that do these abominations? Wouldn't you be angry with us until you had consumed us, so that there should be no remnant, nor any to escape?
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 The LORD, the God of Israel, you are righteous; for we are left a remnant that has escaped, as it is this day. Look, we are before you in our guiltiness; for none can stand before you 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.
