< Ezra 3 >
1 And it arrived the month seventh and [the] people of Israel [were] in the cities. And they gathered the people like a man one to Jerusalem.
Kad je došao sedmi mjesec - sinovi su Izraelovi bili već u svojim gradovima - sabrao se sav narod kao jedan čovjek u Jeruzalemu.
2 And he arose Jeshua [the] son of Jozadak and brothers his the priests and Zerubbabel [the] son of Shealtiel and brothers his and they rebuilt [the] altar of [the] God of Israel to offer up on it burnt offerings according to [what] is written in [the] law of Moses [the] man of God.
Tada Ješua, sin Josadakov, sa svojom braćom svećenicima, i Zerubabel, sin Šealtielov, sa svojom braćom, počeše graditi žrtvenik Bogu Izraelovu da bi prinosili paljenice, kako je pisano u Zakonu Mojsija, čovjeka Božjeg.
3 And they established the altar on foundations its for terror [was] on them from [the] peoples of the lands (and they offered up *Q(K)*) on it burnt offerings to Yahweh burnt offerings of the morning and of the evening.
I podigoše žrtvenik na starome mjestu - iako su bili u strahu od naroda u zemlji - i prinosili su paljenice Jahvi, paljenice jutarnje i večernje;
4 And they celebrated [the] festival of booths according to [what] is written and a burnt offering of a day in a day by number according to [the] ordinance of [the] matter of a day in day its.
i slavili su Blagdan sjenica, kako je pisano: prinosili su svakodnevno broj paljenica propisan za svaki dan.
5 And after this a burnt offering of continuity and for the new moons and for all [the] appointed times of Yahweh consecrated and for every [one who] offered a freewill offering to Yahweh.
Osim toga prinosili su svakidašnje paljenice, zatim žrtve određene za mlađak i za sve blagdane Jahvine i za sve one koji su htjeli dragovoljno žrtvovati Jahvi.
6 From day one of the month seventh they began to offer up burnt offerings to Yahweh and [the] temple of Yahweh not it was founded.
Od prvoga dana u sedmom mjesecu počeli su prinositi Jahvi žrtve paljenice, premda još nisu bili položeni temelji svetišta Jahvina.
7 And people gave money to the masons and to the craftsmen and food and drink and oil to the Sidonians and to the Tyrians to bring wood of cedar from Lebanon to [the] sea of Joppa according to [the] permission of Cyrus [the] king of Persia to them.
I dadoše novac kamenarima i drvodjelcima; Sidoncima i Tircima poslaše hranu i piće i ulje da dovezu drva cedrova s Libanona do Jafe po dopuštenju perzijskoga kralja Kira.
8 And in the year second of coming their to [the] house of God to Jerusalem in the month second they began Zerubbabel [the] son of Shealtiel and Jeshua [the] son of Jozadak and [the] rest of brothers their - the priests and the Levites and all those [who] had come from the captivity Jerusalem and they appointed the Levites from a son of twenty year[s] and up-wards to act as overseers over [the] work of [the] house of Yahweh.
A druge godine poslije njihova dolaska k Domu Božjemu u Jeruzalemu, drugoga mjeseca kako su Zerubabel, sin Šealtielov, i Ješua, sin Josadakov, s ostalom svojom braćom svećenicima, levitima i sa svim narodom koji se iz ropstva vratio u Jeruzalem počeli graditi, postavili su levite od dvadeset godina naviše da upravljaju poslovima oko Doma Jahvina.
9 And he stood Jeshua sons his and brothers his Kadmiel and sons his [the] sons of Judah as one to act as overseers over [the] doer of the work on [the] house of God. [the] sons of Henadad sons their and brothers their the Levites.
Ješua, njegovi sinovi i braća njegova Kadmiel, Binuj i Hodavja bijahu postavljeni da kao jedan upravljaju poslenicima na gradnji Doma Božjega.
10 And they founded the builders [the] temple of Yahweh and they appointed the priests fully clothed with trumpets and the Levites [the] sons of Asaph with cymbals to praise Yahweh on [the] hands of David [the] king of Israel.
Kad su zidari bili postavili temelje Svetišta Jahvina, postavili su se svećenici u svečanim odjećama, s trubama, a tako i leviti, sinovi Asafovi, s cimbalima da slave Jahvu prema odredbama Davida, kralja Izraelova.
11 And they sang with praising and with giving thanks to Yahweh for [he is] good for for ever covenant loyalty his [is] towards Israel and all the people they shouted (a shout of joy *LB(ah)*) great with praising Yahweh because it was founded [the] house of Yahweh.
I pjevahu Jahvi hvalu i slavu: “Jer je dobar, jer je vječna njegova ljubav prema Izraelu.” I sav je narod klicao hvaleći Jahvu, jer je Dom Jahvin bio postavljen na svoje temelje.
12 And many of the priests and the Levites and [the] heads of the fathers old who they had seen the house first when founded it this the house with own eyes their [were] weeping with a voice great and many [people] with a shout of joy with gladness to lift up a voice.
Zaista, mnogi svećenici, mnogi leviti i glavari obiteljski i starješine, koji su svojim očima vidjeli temelje prijašnjega Hrama, plakahu iza glasa, a mnogi opet snažno klicahu od radosti.
13 And not the people [were] recognizing [the] sound of [the] shout of happiness to [the] sound of [the] weeping of the people for the people [were] shouting a shout of joy great and the sound it was heard to from a distance.
I tako nitko nije mogao razlikovati radosno klicanje od plača u narodu; jer je narod glasno klicao i vika se čula vrlo daleko.
