Nehemiah 4
1 But it came to pass, that when Sanballat heard that we were building the wall, he was angry, and felt great indignation, and mocked the Jews.
A kad èu Sanavalat da zidamo zid, razgnjevi se i rasrdi se vrlo, i rugaše se Jevrejima,
2 And he spoke before his brethren and the army of Samaria, and said, What do these feeble Jews? will they fortify themselves? will they sacrifice? will they finish in a day? will they revive the stones out of the heaps of the rubbish which are burned?
I govoraše pred braæom svojom i vojnicima Samarijskim: šta rade ti nemoæni Judejci? hoæemo li ih ostaviti? hoæe li prinositi žrtve? hoæe li sada svršiti? eda li æe u život povratiti iz praha kamenje spaljeno?
3 Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, Even that which they build, if a fox should go up, he would even break down their stone wall.
A Tovija Amonac koji bijaše uza nj reèe: neka zidaju; da lisica doðe, provaliæe kameni zid njihov.
4 Hear, O our God; for we are despised: and turn their reproach upon their own head, and give them for a spoil in the land of captivity:
Èuj, Bože naš, kako nas preziru; obrati rug njihov na njihovu glavu, i daj da budu grabež u zemlji gdje bi robovali.
5 And cover not their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted out from before thee: for they have provoked thee to anger before the builders.
I ne pokrivaj bezakonja njihova, i grijeh njihov da se ne izbriše pred tobom, jer te dražiše za one koji zidaju.
6 So we built the wall; and all the wall was joined together to the half of it: for the people had a mind to work.
I tako zidasmo zid, i sav se zid sastavi do polovine, i narod imaše volju da radi.
7 But it came to pass, when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites, heard that the walls of Jerusalem were set up, and that the breaches began to be closed, then they were very angry,
A kad èu Sanavalat i Tovija i Arapi i Amonci i Azoæani da se opravlja zid Jerusalimski i da se poèelo zatvorati što je provaljeno, razgnjeviše se vrlo;
8 And conspired all of them together to come and to fight against Jerusalem, and to hinder it.
I složiše se svi zajedno da doðu i da udare na Jerusalim i da smetu.
9 Nevertheless we made our prayer to our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them.
A mi se molismo Bogu svojemu i postavljasmo stražu prema njima dan i noæ od straha njihova.
10 And Judah said, The strength of the bearers of burdens is failing, and there is much rubbish; so that we are not able to build the wall.
A Judejci rekoše: klonula je snaga nosiocima, a praha ima mnogo, ne možemo zidati zida.
11 And our adversaries said, They shall not know, neither see, till we come in the midst among them, and slay them, and cause the work to cease.
A naši neprijatelji rekoše: da ne doznadu i ne opaze dokle ne doðemo usred njih, pa æemo ih pobiti i prekinuti posao.
12 And it came to pass, that when the Jews who dwelt by them came, they said to us ten times, From all places where ye shall return to us they will be upon you.
Ali doðoše Judejci koji kod njih življahu, i kazaše nam deset puta: èuvajte sva mjesta kuda se ide k nama.
13 Therefore I set in the lower places behind the wall, and on the higher places, I even set the people according to their families with their swords, their spears, and their bows.
Tada namjestih narod u nizima iza zida i na strmenima, postavih narod po porodicama s maèevima i kopljima i lukovima.
14 And I looked, and arose, and said to the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Be ye not afraid of them: remember the Lord, who is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses.
I razgledavši ustah i rekoh starješinama i glavarima i ostalom narodu: ne bojte ih se. Pomenite Gospoda velikoga i strašnoga, i bijte se za braæu svoju, za sinove svoje i kæeri svoje, za žene svoje i kuæe svoje.
15 And it came to pass, when our enemies heard that it was known to us, and God had brought their counsel to nought, that we returned all of us to the wall, every one to his work.
A kad èuše neprijatelji naši da smo doznali, razbi Gospod njihovu namjeru, i mi se vratismo svi k zidu, svaki na svoj posao.
16 And it came to pass from that time forth, that the half of my servants wrought in the work, and the other half of them held both the spears, the shields, and the bows, and the coats of mail; and the rulers were behind all the house of Judah.
I od tada polovina mojih momaka poslovaše, a druga polovina držaše koplja i štitove i lukove i oklope, i knezovi stajahu iza svega doma Judina.
17 They who built on the wall, and they that bore burdens, burdened themselves, every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other hand held a weapon.
I koji zidahu i koji nošahu teret i koji tovarahu, svaki jednom rukom raðaše a u drugoj držaše koplje.
18 For the builders, every one had his sword girded by his side, and so built. And he that sounded the trumpet was by me.
A koji zidahu, svaki imahu maè pripasan uz bedricu, i tako zidahu. A trubaè stajaše kod mene.
19 And I said to the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, The work is great and large, and we are separated upon the wall, one far from another.
Jer rekoh starješinama i glavarima i ostalom narodu: posao je velik i dug, i mi smo se rasuli po zidu daleko jedan od drugoga.
20 In what place therefore ye hear the sound of the trumpet, resort ye there to us: our God shall fight for us.
Gdje èujete trubu da trubi, onamo trèite k nama; Bog naš vojevaæe za nas.
21 So we laboured in the work: and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning till the stars appeared.
Tako raðasmo posao, i polovina ih držaše koplja od zore pa dokle zvijezde ne izidu.
22 Likewise at the same time said I to the people, Let every one with his servant lodge within Jerusalem, that in the night they may be a guard to us, and labour in the day.
U to vrijeme još rekoh narodu: svaki s momkom svojim neka noæuje u Jerusalimu da bi nam noæu stražili a danju radili.
23 So neither I, nor my brethren, nor my servants, nor the men of the guard who followed me, none of us put off our clothes, except that every one put them off for washing.
A ja i moja braæa i momci moji i stražari što idu za mnom neæemo svlaèiti sa sebe haljina; u svakoga da je maè i voda.
