Nehemiah 12
1 [Many] priests and [other] descendants of Levi returned (from Babylonia/to Jerusalem) with Zerubbabel and Jeshua. They included Seraiah, Jeremiah, Ezra,
A ovo su sveštenici i Leviti koji doðoše sa Zorovaveljem sinom Salatilovijem i Isusom: Seraja, Jeremija, Jezdra,
2 Amariah, Malluch, Hattush,
Amarija, Maluh, Hatus,
3 Shecaniah, Rehum, Meremoth,
Sehanija, Reum, Lerimot,
4 Iddo, Ginnethon, Abijah,
Ido, Gineto, Avija,
5 Mijamin, Moadiah, Bilgah,
Mijamin, Madija, Vilga,
6 Shemaiah, Joiarib, Jedaiah,
Semaja, Jojariv, Jedaja,
7 Sallu, Amok, Hilkiah, and Jedaiah. All those men were leaders of the priests during the time that Jeshua [was the Supreme Priest].
Saluj, Amok, Helkija, Jedaja. To bjehu glavari izmeðu sveštenika i braæe svoje za vremena Isusova.
8 [Some of the other] descendants of Levi who returned were Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, and Mattaniah. They were in charge of singing songs to thank [God].
A Leviti: Isus, Vinuj, Kadmilo, Serevija, Juda i Matanija, koji s braæom svojom bješe nad pjevanjem.
9 Bakbukiah, Unni, and other descendants of Levi formed a choir that stood opposite the other group [and sang in reply to them].
A Vakvukija i Unije braæa njihova bijahu prema njima u redovima svojim.
10 Jeshua [who was the Supreme Priest] was the father of Joiakim, who was the father of Eliashib, who was the father of Joiada,
A Isus rodi Joakima, a Joakim rodi Elijasiva, a Elijasiv rodi Jojadu;
11 who was the father of Jonathan, who was the father of Jaddua.
A Jojada rodi Jonatana, a Jonatan rodi Jadvu.
12 When Joiakim was the Supreme Priest, these were the leaders of the clans of priests: Meraiah, from [the clan of] Seraiah; Hananiah, from [the clan of] Jeremiah;
A za vremena Joakimova bjehu sveštenici, glavari domova otaèkih: od doma Serajina Meraja, od Jeremijina Ananija,
13 Meshullam, from [the clan of] Ezra; Jehohanan, from [the clan of] Amariah;
Od Jezdrina Mesulam, od Amarijina Joanan,
14 Jonathan, from [the clan of] Malluch; Joseph, from [the clan of] Shecaniah;
Od Melihujeva Jonatan, od Sevanijina Josif,
15 Adna, from [the clan of] Harim; Helkai, from [the clan of] Meremoth/Maraioth;
Od Harimova Adna, od Merajotova Elkaj,
16 Zechariah, from [the clan of] Iddo; Meshullam, from [the clan of] Ginnethon;
Od Idova Zaharija, od Ginetova Mesulam,
17 Zicri, from [the clan of] Abijah. There was also a leader from [the clan of] Miniamin; Piltai, from [the clan of] Moadiah;
Od Avijina Zihrije, od Minijaminova i Moadijina Filtaj,
18 Shammua, from [the clan of] Bilgah; Jehonathan, from [the clan of] Shemaiah;
Od Vilžina Samuja, od Semajina Jonatan,
19 Mattenai, from [the clan of] Joiarib; Uzzi, from [the clan of] Jedaiah;
Od Jojarivova Matenaj, od Jedajina Ozije,
20 Kallai, from [the clan of] Sallu/Sallai; Eber, from [the clan of] Amok;
Od Salajeva Kalaj, od Amokova Ever,
21 Hashabiah, from [the clan of] Hilkiah; and Nethanel, from [the clan of] Jedaiah.
Od Helkijina Asavija, od Jedajina Natanailo.
22 During the years that Eliashib, Joiada, Johanan, and Jaddua [were Supreme Priests], they (wrote/kept a list of) the names of the clans who were descendants of Levi. When Darius was the king of Persia, they stopped writing that list.
A Leviti, glavari domova otaèkih, za vremena Elijasiva, Jojade, Joanana i Jadve biše popisani sa sveštenicima do carovanja Darija cara Persijskoga;
23 They wrote the names of the leaders of the clans who were descendants of Levi in the Book of Events [in Israel], but they stopped writing those names when Eliashib’s grandson Johanan [was the Supreme Priest].
Sinovi Levijevi, glavari domova otaèkih, biše popisani u knjizi dnevnika do vremena Joanana sina Elijasivova;
24 These are the leaders of the clans [who are] descendants of Levi: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel and others who were divided into two groups. The two groups faced each other, one group replying to the other, during the time that they praised and thanked God. They did that just as King David, the man who served God well, had instructed.
I glavari Levitski bjehu: Asavija, Serevija i Isus sin Kadmilov i braæa njihova prema njima da hvale i slave Boga po zapovijesti Davida èovjeka Božijega, red prema redu;
25 These singers included Mattaniah, Bakbukiah, and Obadiah. The men who guarded the storerooms close to the gates [of the temple] were Meshullam, Talmon, and Akkub.
Matanija i Vakvukija, Ovadija, Mesulam, Talmon, Akuv, bijahu vratari koji èuvahu stražu kod riznica na vratima.
26 They did that work during the time that Joiakim, who was the son of Jeshua and the grandson of Jehozadak, [was the Supreme Priest, ] and I was the governor, and Ezra was the priest who knew the Jewish laws very well.
Ti bijahu za vremena Joakima sina Isusa sina Josedekova i za vremena Nemije kneza i sveštenika Jezdre književnika.
27 When we dedicated the wall around Jerusalem, we summoned the descendants of Levi [who help the priests] from the nearby places where they [were living]. We asked them to [join with us to] celebrate when we dedicated the wall. We wanted them to sing songs to thank [Yahweh] and make music by playing cymbals and harps and other stringed instruments.
A kad se osveæivaše zid Jerusalimski, tražiše Levite po svijem mjestima njihovijem da ih dovedu u Jerusalim da se svrši posveæenje s veseljem, hvalom i pjesmama uz kimvale, psaltire i gusle.
28 We summoned the descendants of Levi who habitually sang together. They came to Jerusalem from nearby areas [where they had settled], and from places around Netophah [town southeast of Jerusalem],
I skupiše se sinovi pjevaèki i iz ravnica oko Jerusalima i iz sela Netofatskih,
29 and from three places [northeast of Jerusalem]—Beth Gilgal [city] and the areas around Geba and Azmaveth. Those singers had built villages to live in near Jerusalem.
I iz Vet-Gilgala i iz polja Gevskih i Azmavetskih, jer pjevaèi bijahu naselili sela oko Jerusalima.
30 [When they came to Jerusalem], the priests and [other] descendants of Levi [who help the priests] performed rituals to cause themselves to be acceptable to God, and then they performed similar rituals to purify the [other] people, the gates, and the wall.
I oèistiše se sveštenici i Leviti, i oèistiše narod i vrata i zid.
31 Then I gathered together the leaders of Judah on top of the wall, and I appointed them to lead two large groups to march around the city [on top of the wall], thanking God. [As they faced the city, ] one group walked to the right toward the Dung Gate.
Iza toga zapovjedih knezovima Judejskim da izaðu na zid, i postavih dva velika zbora pjevaèka, i jedan od njih iðaše nadesno s gornje strane zida k vratima gnojnijem.
32 Behind their leaders marched Hoshaiah and half of the leaders of Judah.
A za njima iðaše Osaja i polovina knezova Judinijeh,
33 Behind them marched a group of priests who were blowing trumpets. They were Azariah, Ezra, Meshullam, Judah, Benjamin, Shemaiah, and Jeremiah. Next came Zechariah, the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Micaiah, the son of Zaccur, a descendant of Asaph.
I Azarija, Jezdra i Mesulam,
Juda i Venijamin i Semaja i Jeremija,
I od sinova sveštenièkih s trubama Zaharija sin Jonatana, sina Semaje, sina Matanije, sina Zahura, sina Asafova,
36 Behind them marched other members of Zechariah’s clan: Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah, and Hanani. They all were playing the same kinds of musical instruments that King David had played [many years previously]. Ezra, the man who knew the Jewish laws very well, marched in front of this group.
I braæa njegova Semaja i Azareilo, Milalaj, Gilalaj, Maj, Natanilo i Juda i Ananije sa spravama muzièkim Davida èovjeka Božijega, a Jezdra književnik pred njima;
37 When they reached the Fountain Gate, they went up the steps to David’s City, past his palace, and then to the wall at the Water Gate, on the east side [of the city].
Potom k vratima kod studenca, koja bijahu prema njima, iðahu uz basamake grada Davidova kuda se ide na zid, iznad doma Davidova pa do vrata vodenijeh k istoku.
38 The other group of those who were thanking [Yahweh] marched to the left on top of the wall. I followed them with half of the people. [We marched] past the Tower of the Ovens to the Broad Wall.
A drugi zbor pjevaèki iðaše prema onima, i ja za njim, i polovica naroda po zidu iznad kule peæske do širokoga zida,
39 [From there we marched] past Ephraim Gate, Jeshanah Gate, the Fish Gate, the Tower of Hananel, the Tower of the Hundred Soldiers, to the Sheep Gate. We finished marching near the gate into the temple.
I iznad vrata Jefremovijeh k vratima starijem i k vratima ribljim i ka kuli Ananeilovoj i kuli Meji, pa do vrata ovèijih; i stadoše kod vrata tamnièkih.
40 Both the groups reached the temple while they were thanking God. They stood in their places there. The leaders who were with me [also stood with me in our places].
Potom stadoše oba zbora pjevaèka u domu Božijem, i ja i polovica glavara sa mnom,
41 My group included these priests who were [all blowing] trumpets: Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, Hananiah,
I sveštenici Elijakim, Masija, Minijamin, Mihaja, Elioinaj, Zaharija, Ananija s trubama,
42 [another] Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malchijah, Elam, and Ezer. The singers, whose leader was Jezrahiah, sang loudly.
I Masija i Semaja i Eleazar i Ozije i Joanan i Malhija i Elam i Eser. I pjevaèi pjevahu glasno s Jezrajom naèelnikom svojim.
43 [After we went outside the temple, ] we offered many sacrifices. We men all rejoiced because God had caused us to be very happy. The women and the children also rejoiced. People far away could hear the noise that we made there in Jerusalem.
I prinesoše velike žrtve taj dan, i veseliše se; jer ih Bog razveseli veseljem velikim; i žene i djeca veseliše se, i veselje Jerusalimsko èujaše se daleko.
44 On that day, men were appointed {they appointed men} to be in charge of the storerooms where they kept the money that people contributed [for the temple]. They also kept there [the other things that the people contributed—] the tithes and the first part of the grain and fruit that was harvested each year. Those men collected those things from the fields/farms near the cities, and [took them to Jerusalem and] gave them to the priests and the [other] descendants of Levi, as [Moses had said in his] laws that they should do. All the Israeli people were happy about the work that the priests and the descendants of Levi did,
I postavljeni biše taj dan ljudi nad klijetima u kojima se ostavljahu prinosi, prvine i desetak, da sabiraju u njih s njiva gradskih zakonite dijelove za sveštenike i za Levite, jer se Juda radovaše sveštenicima i Levitima što stajahu na poslu,
45 because they performed the rituals to purify things, and the other rituals that God had commanded. The musicians in the temple also did their work as King David and his son Solomon had declared that they should do.
I izvršivahu što im je Bog njihov zapovjedio da izvršuju i što trebaše izvršivati za oèišæenje, kao i pjevaèi i vratari po zapovijesti Davida i Solomuna sina njegova.
46 Ever since the time that David had been the king and Asaph had been his chief musician, the musicians had led the people while they sang songs to praise and thank God.
Jer otprije, za vremena Davidova i Asafova biše postavljeni glavari pjevaèki i pjesme u hvalu i slavu Bogu.
47 During the years that Zerubbabel and I governed the Israeli people, they all contributed the food that the singers and temple gatekeepers needed each day. They gave (a tithe/10%) of their crops to the descendants of Levi [who helped the priests], and those descendants of Levi gave (a tithe/10%) of that to [the priests, who were] descendants of Aaron [the first Supreme Priest].
I zato sav Izrailj za vremena Zorovaveljeva i za vremena Nemijina davaše dijelove pjevaèima i vratarima, svakidašnji obrok, i Levitima što bješe njima posveæeno, a Leviti sinovima Aronovijem što njima bješe posveæeno.
