Nehemiah 13
1 On that day, a portion, was read in the book of Moses, in the ears of the people, —and it was found written therein, that the Ammonite and the Moabite should not enter into the convocation of God, unto times age-abiding;
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 met not the sons of Israel, with bread and with water, —but hired against them Balaam, to curse them, although our God turned 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 So it came to pass, when they had heard the law, —that they separated all the mixed multitude from Israel.
А кад чуше тај закон одлучише од Израиља све туђинце.
4 Now, before this, Eliashib the priest, who was set over a chamber of the house of God, was allied unto Tobiah;
А пре тога Елијасив свештеник, који беше над клетима дома Бога нашег, опријатељи се с Товијом,
5 so he prepared him a large chamber, where aforetime they used to lay the meal-offering, the frankincense, and the utensils, and the tithe of the corn, the new wine and the oil, in charge of the Levites, and the singers, and the doorkeepers, —and the heave-offerings for 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, throughout all this [time], was I not in Jerusalem, —for, in the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon, I came unto the king, and, at the end of certain days, obtained I 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 came to Jerusalem, —and had intelligence of the wickedness which Eliashib had committed for Tobiah, 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 grieved me exceedingly, —and I cast forth all the household utensils of Tobiah, outside of the chamber.
И би ми врло мрско, те избацих све покућство Товијино напоље из клети.
9 Then commanded I, and they purified the chambers, —and I put back there, the utensils of the house of God, the meal-offering and the frankincense.
И заповедих, те очистише клети; и унесох у њих опет посуђе дома Божјег, даре и кад.
10 Then came I to know, that, the portions of the Levites, had not been given [them], —so that the Levites and the singers, who had been doing the work, had 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 Therefore contended I with the deputies, and said, Wherefore is the house of God, forsaken? So I gathered them together, and set them in their place.
И укорих старешине и рекох: Зашто је остављен дом Божји? И сабрах их опет и поставих на њихово место.
12 Then, all Judah, brought in the tithe of corn, and new wine, and oil, unto the treasuries;
И сви Јудејци доносише десетке од жита и вина и уља у спреме.
13 and I made treasurers over the treasuries—Shelemiah the priest, and Zadok the scribe, and Pedaiah from among the Levites, and, next unto them, Hanan son of Zaccur, son of Mattaniah, —for faithful were they accounted, and it was [laid] upon them to distribute unto 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 do not wipe out my lovingkindnesses, which I have done for the house of my God, and for those keeping charge thereof.
Помени ме, Боже мој, зато, и немој избрисати добра мојих која учиних дому Бога свог и служби његовој.
15 In those days, saw I in Judah—some treading winepresses on the sabbath, and bringing in sheaves and lading asses, moreover also wine, grapes, and figs, and every kind of burden, which they were bringing into Jerusalem on the sabbath day, —so I protested against it, as a day for them to sell 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 And, men of Tyre, dwelt therein, who were bringing in fish—and every kind of ware for sale, —and were selling, on the sabbath, to the sons 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 so I contended with the nobles of Judah, —and said unto them, What is this wicked thing which, ye, are doing, and profaning the sabbath day?
Зато прекорих главаре јудејске и рекох им: Какво је то зло што чините те скврните суботу?
18 Was it not, thus, your fathers did, and our God brought upon us all this calamity, and upon this city?—and, ye, would add indignation against 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, when the gates of Jerusalem made a shadow before the sabbath, then gave I word, and they shut the doors, and I gave word, that they should not open them, until after the sabbath, —and, some of my young men, set I near the gates, so that no burden should be brought in, 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 traders and sellers of all kinds of wares lodged outside Jerusalem once or twice.
И преноћише трговци и који продаваху свакојаки трг иза Јерусалима једном и другом.
21 Therefore I testified against them, and said unto them, Wherefore are ye lodging against the wall? if ye do it again, a hand, will I thrust upon you, —From that time, they came not 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 gave word to the Levites, that they should be purifying themselves and coming in, as keepers of the gates, to hallow the sabbath day. This also, remember to me, O my God, and have pity upon me, according to the abundance of thy lovingkindness.
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 Moreover, in these days, saw I the Jews who had married women of Ashdod, of Ammon, of Moab;
Још видех у то време Јудејце који се беху оженили Азоћанкама, Амонкама и Моавкама.
24 and, their children, were one-half speaking the language of Ashdod, and understood not how to speak the language of the Jews, —but after the tongue of both people.
И синови њихови говораху пола азотски, и не умеху говорити јудејски него језиком и једног и другог народа.
25 So I contended with them, and laid a curse upon them, and I smote, from among them, certain men, and pulled out their hair, —and I put them on oath by God, Ye shall not give your daughters unto their sons, nor take of 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 Was it not, over these things, that Solomon king of Israel sinned—though, among many nations, there was no king such as he, and he was, beloved by his God, and so God gave him to be king over all Israel, —even him, did foreign women, cause 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 Unto you, then, shall we hearken, to do all this great wickedness, to act unfaithfully with our God, —by marrying foreign 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 Joiada, son of Eliashib the high priest, was son-in-law to Sanballat the Horonite, —therefore I chased him from me.
И од синова Јојаде, сина Елијасива поглавара свештеничког, један беше зет Санавалату Ороњанину, ког отерах од себе.
29 Remember them, O my God, —on account of the Defilings of the Priesthood, and the Covenant of the Priesthood, and of the Levites.
Помени их, Боже мој, што оскрвнише свештенство и завет свештенички и левитски.
30 So I purified them from everything foreign, —and appointed charges unto the priests and unto 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 also for the offering of wood, at times appointed, and for the firstfruits. Remember me, O my God, for good!
И да се доносе дрва за жртве на рокове, и првине. Помени ме, Боже мој, на добро.
