Nehemiah 13
1 On that day they read in the book of Moses in the hearing of the people; and it was found written in it that an Ammonite and a Moabite should not enter into the assembly of God forever,
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 didn’t meet the children of Israel with bread and with water, but hired Balaam against them to curse them; however, 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 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 appointed over the rooms of the house of our God, being allied to Tobiah,
А пре тога Елијасив свештеник, који беше над клетима дома Бога нашег, опријатељи се с Товијом,
5 had prepared for him a great room, where before they laid the meal offerings, the frankincense, the vessels, and the tithes of the grain, the new wine, and the oil, which were given by commandment to the Levites, the singers, and the gatekeepers; and the wave 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 in all this, I was not at Jerusalem; for in the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon I went to the king; and after some days I asked 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 I came to Jerusalem, and understood the evil that Eliashib had done for Tobiah, in preparing him a room in the courts of God’s house.
И кад дођох у Јерусалим, видех зло што учини Елијасив ради Товије начинивши му клет у трему дома Божјег.
8 It grieved me severely. Therefore I threw all Tobiah’s household stuff out of the room.
И би ми врло мрско, те избацих све покућство Товијино напоље из клети.
9 Then I commanded, and they cleansed the rooms. I brought into them the vessels of God’s house, with the meal offerings and the frankincense again.
И заповедих, те очистише клети; и унесох у њих опет посуђе дома Божјег, даре и кад.
10 I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given them, so that the Levites and the singers, who did the work, had each fled 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 Then I contended with the rulers, and said, “Why is God’s house forsaken?” 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 the tithe of the grain, the new wine, and the oil to the treasuries.
И сви Јудејци доносише десетке од жита и вина и уља у спреме.
13 I made treasurers over the treasuries, Shelemiah the priest, and Zadok the scribe, and of the Levites, Pedaiah: and next to them was Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah; for they were counted faithful, and their business was to distribute to their brothers.
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, my God, concerning this, and don’t wipe out my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for its observances.
Помени ме, Боже мој, зато, и немој избрисати добра мојих која учиних дому Бога свог и служби његовој.
15 In those days I saw some men treading wine presses on the Sabbath in Judah, bringing in sheaves, and loading donkeys with wine, grapes, figs, and all kinds of burdens which they brought into Jerusalem on the Sabbath day; and I testified against them in the day in which they sold food.
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 Some men of Tyre also lived there, who brought in fish and all kinds of wares, and sold on the Sabbath to the children 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 Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said to them, “What evil thing is this that you do, and profane the Sabbath day?
Зато прекорих главаре јудејске и рекох им: Какво је то зло што чините те скврните суботу?
18 Didn’t your fathers do this, and didn’t our God bring all this evil on us and on this city? Yet you bring more wrath on 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 It came to pass that when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the Sabbath, I commanded that the doors should be shut, and commanded that they should not be opened until after the Sabbath. I set some of my servants over 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 So the merchants and sellers of all kinds of wares camped outside of Jerusalem once or twice.
И преноћише трговци и који продаваху свакојаки трг иза Јерусалима једном и другом.
21 Then I testified against them, and said to them, “Why do you stay around the wall? If you do so again, I will lay hands on you.” From that time on, they didn’t come 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 I commanded the Levites that they should purify themselves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to sanctify the Sabbath day. Remember me for this also, my God, and spare me according to the greatness of your loving kindness.
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 In those days I also saw the Jews who had married women of Ashdod, of Ammon, and of Moab;
Још видех у то време Јудејце који се беху оженили Азоћанкама, Амонкама и Моавкама.
24 and their children spoke half in the speech of Ashdod, and could not speak in the Jews’ language, but according to the language of each people.
И синови њихови говораху пола азотски, и не умеху говорити јудејски него језиком и једног и другог народа.
25 I contended with them, cursed them, struck certain of them, plucked off their hair, and made them swear by God, “You shall not give your daughters to their sons, nor take their daughters for your sons, or 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 Didn’t Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? Yet among many nations there was no king like him, and he was loved by his God, and God made him king over all Israel. Nevertheless foreign women caused even him 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 Shall we then listen to you to do all this great evil, to trespass against our God in marrying foreign women?”
А вама ли ћемо допустити да чините то све велико зло и грешите Богу нашем узимајући жене туђинке?
28 One of the sons of Joiada, the 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, my God, because they have defiled 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 Thus I cleansed them from all foreigners and appointed duties for the priests and for the Levites, everyone in his work;
И тако их очистих од свих туђинаца, и опет поставих редове свештеничке и левитске, сваког на посао његов,
31 and for the wood offering, at appointed times, and for the first fruits. Remember me, my God, for good.
И да се доносе дрва за жртве на рокове, и првине. Помени ме, Боже мој, на добро.
