Nehemiah 13
1 On that day, when someone read to the people parts of the laws [that God gave] to Moses, they read where it was written that no one from the Ammon people-group or the Moab people-group was ever to be allowed to be with God’s people while they were gathered together [to worship].
V ten den čteno jest v knize Mojžíšově, tak že lid slyšeti mohl. I nalezeno v ní napsáno, že nemá vjíti Ammonitský a Moábský do shromáždění Božího až na věky,
2 The reason for that was that the people of Ammon and the people of Moab did not give/sell any food or water to the Israelis [while the Israelis were going through their areas after they left Egypt]. Instead, the people of Ammon and Moab paid money to Balaam in order that he would curse the Israelis. But God commanded Balaam to bless the people, not to curse them.
Proto že nevyšli proti synům Izraelským s chlebem a s vodou, ale najali ze mzdy proti nim Baláma, aby jim zlořečil, ačkoli obrátil Bůh náš to zlořečení v požehnání.
3 So when the people heard these laws [being read to them], they sent away all the people whose ancestors had come from other countries.
Stalo se pak, když slyšeli zákon, že odmísili všecky přimíšené od Izraele.
4 Previously, Eliashib the priest had been appointed to be in charge of the storerooms in the temple. He was a relative of [our enemy] Tobiah.
Ale před tím Eliasib kněz, správce komory domu Boha našeho, spříznil se s Tobiášem.
5 He allowed Tobiah to use a large room in which they had previously stored the grain offerings and the incense, the equipment that is used in the temple, the offerings [that the people had brought] for the priests, and the tithes of grain and wine and [olive] oil that [God] had commanded the people to bring to the [other] descendants of Levi, and to the temple musicians, and to the temple guards.
Kterémuž udělal pokoj veliký, kdež prvé skládali dary, kadidlo a nádoby, a desátky z obilé, mstu a oleje nového, nařízené Levítům a zpěvákům i vrátným, též i obět kněžím.
6 While [Tobias was using that room], I was not in Jerusalem, because in the 32nd year that Artaxerxes was the king of Babylonia, I went back there to report to him. After a while I requested the king to allow me to return to Jerusalem, [and he allowed me to go].
Ale když se to vše dálo, nebyl jsem v Jeruzalémě. Nebo léta třidcátého druhého Artaxerxa krále Babylonského přišel jsem k králi, a po přeběhnutí let, vyžádán jsem na králi.
7 When I arrived in Jerusalem, I found out that Eliashib had done an evil thing by allowing Tobiah to use a room in God’s temple.
Když jsem pak přišel do Jeruzaléma, srozuměl jsem tomu zlému, co učinil Eliasib pro Tobiáše, udělav mu pokoj v síních domu Božího.
8 I became very angry, and I threw out of that room everything that belonged to Tobiah.
Což mi se velmi nelíbilo. Protož vyházel jsem všecko nádobí domu Tobiášova ven z toho pokoje.
9 Then I commanded [that they perform a ritual] to make the rooms (pure/acceptable to God) again. And I also ordered that all the equipment used in the temple and all the grain offerings and incense should be put in that room again.
A rozkázal jsem očistiti ty pokoje. I vnesl jsem tam zase nádoby domu Božího, dary a kadidlo.
10 I also found out that the temple musicians and [other] descendants of Levi had left Jerusalem and returned to their fields/farms, because the Israeli people had not been bringing to them the food [that they needed].
Potom dověděv se, že dílové Levítům nebyli dáváni, a že rozběhli se jeden každý na svou rolí, Levítové i zpěváci vedoucí práci,
11 So I rebuked the officials, saying to them, “(Why have you not taken care of the work in the temple?/It is disgraceful that you have not taken care of the work in the temple.)” [RHQ] So I brought the descendants of Levi and the musicians back to the temple, and told them to do their work there again.
Protož domlouval jsem se na starší, řka: Proč jest opuštěn dům Boží? A shromáždiv je, postavil jsem je na místě jejich.
12 Then all the people of Judah again started to bring to the temple storerooms their tithes of grain, wine, and [olive] oil.
A všecken Juda přinášeli desátky obilé, mstu a oleje nového do skladů.
13 I appointed these men to be in charge of the storerooms: Shelemiah, who was a priest; Zadok, who knew the Jewish laws very well; and Pedaiah, a descendant of Levi. I appointed Hanan, who is the son of Zaccur and grandson of Mattaniah, to assist them. I knew that I could trust these men while they distributed those offerings to their fellow workers.
A ustanovil jsem úředníky nad sklady: Selemiáše kněze, a Sádocha učitele, a Pedaiáše z Levítů, přidav k nim Chanana syna Zakurova, syna Mattaniášova; nebo za věrné jmíni byli. A ti měli rozdělovati bratřím svým.
14 My God, do not forget all these good things that I have faithfully done for your temple and for the work that is done there!
Budiž pamětliv na mne, Bože můj, pro to, a nevyhlazuj dobrodiní mých, kteráž jsem prokázal k domu Boha svého i k službám jeho.
15 During that time, I saw some people in Judea [who were working] on the Sabbath day. [Some were] pressing grapes [to make wine]. Others were putting grain, [bags of] wine, [baskets of] grapes, figs, and many [HYP] other things, on their donkeys and taking them into Jerusalem. I warned them that they should not sell things to the people of Judea on Sabbath days.
V těch dnech viděl jsem v Judstvu, ani tlačí presem v sobotu, a přinášejí snopy, kteréž nakládali na osly, též víno, hrozny, fíky i všeliká břemena, a snášejí v den sobotní do Jeruzaléma. I domlouval jsem jim v ten den, když prodávali potravu.
16 I also saw some people from Tyre [city] who were living there in Jerusalem who were bringing fish and other things [into Jerusalem] to sell to the people of Judea on the Sabbath day.
Tyrští také, kteříž bydlili v něm, nosili ryby i všelijaké koupě, a prodávali v sobotu synům Juda, a to v Jeruzalémě.
17 So I rebuked the Jewish leaders and told them, “This is [RHQ] a very evil thing that you are doing! You are causing the Sabbath days to be unholy.
Protož jsem domlouval starším Judským, a řekl jsem jim: Jaká jest to nepravost, kterouž činíte, poškvrňujíce dne sobotního?
18 Your ancestors did [RHQ] things like that, so God punished them, and as a result, this city was destroyed! And now by causing the Sabbath day to be unholy, you are going to cause God to be angry with us Israeli people [and punish us] more!”
Zdaliž jsou tak nečinili otcové vaši? Pročež Bůh náš přivedl na nás všecko toto zlé, i na toto město, a vy přidáváte hněvivosti na Izraele, poškvrňujíce soboty.
19 So I ordered that at (the beginning of every Sabbath day/every Friday evening) they should shut the gates of the city before it became dark. I also ordered that they should not open the gates until (the Sabbath day was ended [the next day]/Saturday evening). Then [each Sabbath day] I put some of my men at the gates, so they would make sure that nothing to sell was brought into the city on that day.
Když tedy byly v stínu brány Jeruzalémské před sobotou, rozkázal jsem zavříti brány, a rozkázal jsem, aby jich neotvírali až po sobotě. K tomu i z služebníků svých některé postavil jsem v bráně, aby náklad nebyl vezen do města v sobotu.
20 One or two times merchants [DOU] stayed outside of the city on (Friday night/[the night before the Sabbath day]).
Protož zůstali kupci a prodavači všelijakých věcí prodajných vně před Jeruzalémem, jednou i podruhé.
21 I warned them, “It is useless [RHQ] for you to stay here outside the walls [on Friday night]! If you do this again, I will tell my men to arrest you!” So after that, they did not come on Sabbath days.
I osvědčil jsem se jim, řka jim: Proč zůstáváte přes noc naproti zdi? Učiníte-li to více, vztáhnu ruku na vás. Od té chvíle nepřicházeli v sobotu.
22 I also commanded the descendants of Levi to [perform the ritual to] purify themselves and to guard the city gates, to make sure that the Sabbath was kept holy [by not allowing merchants to enter it on Sabbath days]. My God, do not forget this also that I [have done for you]! And because of your faithfully loving me, allow me to continue to live [many more years]!
Rozkázal jsem pak Levítům, aby se očistili, a přijdouce, ostříhali bran, a světili den sobotní. Také i v tom pamatuj na mne, Bože můj, a buď mi milostiv podlé množství milosrdenství svého.
23 During that time, I also found out that many of the Jewish men had married women from Ashdod [city], and from [the] Ammon and Moab [people-groups].
V těch dnech spatřil jsem také Židy, kteříž byli pojali ženy Azotské, Ammonitské a Moábské,
24 The result was that half of their children spoke the language that people in Ashdod speak or some other language, and they didn’t know how to speak our language.
An synové jejich mluvili od polu Azotsky, a neuměli mluviti Židovsky, ale podlé jazyku každého toho lidu.
25 So I rebuked those men, and I [asked God to] curse them, and I beat them and pulled out [some of] their hair. Then I forced them to solemnly promise, knowing that God [MTY] was [listening], that they would never again marry foreigners, and never allow their children to marry foreigners.
Protož domlouval jsem jim, a zlořečil jsem jim, a některé z nich bil jsem a rval, přísahou je zavazuje skrze Boha, řka: Budete-li dávati dcery své synům jejich, aneb bráti dcery jejich synům svým neb sobě, zlořečení budete.
26 [I said to them], “Solomon, the king of Israel, sinned [RHQ] as a result of [marrying] foreign women. He was greater than any of the kings of other nations. God loved him, and caused him to become the king of all the Israeli people, but his foreign wives caused even him to sin.
Zdaliž tím nezhřešil Šalomoun král Izraelský? Ješto ve mnohých národech nebylo krále jemu podobného, kterýž byl milý Bohu svému, tak že ustanovil jej Bůh králem nade vším Izraelem, však i toho k hříchu přivedly ženy cizozemky.
27 [Do you think that] we should do what you have done, and disobey our God by marrying foreign women [who worship idols]? [RHQ]”
A vám zdali povolíme, abyste se dopouštěli všeho toho zlého velikého, a přestupovali proti Bohu svému, pojímajíce ženy cizozemky?
28 One of the sons of Jehoiada, the son of Eliashib the Supreme Priest, had married the daughter of [our enemy] Sanballat, from Beth-Horon [town]. So I forced Jehoiada’s son to leave Jerusalem.
Z synů pak Joiady syna Eliasiba, kněze nejvyššího, jeden byl zeť Sanballata Choronského, kteréhož jsem zahnal od sebe.
29 My God, do not forget that those people [who have married foreign women] have caused it to be a shame/disgrace to be a priest, and have caused people to despise the agreement that you made with the priests and with the [other] descendants of Levi [who help the priests])!
Budiž pamětliv na to, Bože můj, proti těm, kteříž poškvrňují kněžství, a smlouvy kněžské i Levítské.
30 I did all that to make sure that there were no more foreign people among the [Israeli] people [who would encourage them to worship idols]. I also established regulations for the priests and [other] descendants of Levi, in order that they would know what work they should do.
Protož jsem je vyčistil od všelikého cizozemce, a ustanovil jsem zase třídy kněžím a Levítům, jednomu každému v práci jeho,
31 I also arranged for people to bring the firewood [that was needed to burn on the altar, as Moses had declared] that we should [do]. I also arranged for the people to bring the first part of what they harvested [each year]. My God, do not forget [that] I [have done all these things], and bless me [for doing them]!
I nošení dříví k obětem časy uloženými, též i prvotin. Budiž pamětliv na mne, Bože můj, k mému dobrému.
