< Ezra 6 >

1 Then Darius the king made a decree, and they sought in the house of the books of the treasuries placed there in Babylon,
Tada car Darije zapovjedi te tražiše u knjižnici gdje se ostavljaše blago u Vavilonu.
2 and there hath been found at Achmetha, in a palace that [is] in the province of Media, a roll, and a record thus written within it [is]:
I naðoše u Ahmeti u dvoru carskom u zemlji Midskoj knjigu u kojoj bješe zapisan ovaj spomen:
3 'In the first year of Cyrus the king, Cyrus the king hath made a decree concerning the house of God in Jerusalem: the house let be builded in the place where they are sacrificing sacrifices, and its foundations strongly laid; its height sixty cubits, its breadth sixty cubits;
Prve godine cara Kira zapovjedi car Kir: dom Božji u Jerusalimu da se sazida da bude mjesto gdje æe se prinositi žrtve, i temelji da mu se izidaju, da bude visok šezdeset lakata i širok šezdeset lakata.
4 three rows of rolled stones, and a row of new wood, and the outlay let be given out of the king's house.
Tri reda da budu od kamenja velikoga i jedan red od drveta novoga, a trošak da se daje iz carskoga doma.
5 'And also, the vessels of the house of God, of gold and silver, that Nebuchadnezzar took forth out of the temple that [is] in Jerusalem, and brought to Babylon, let be given back, and go to the temple that [is] in Jerusalem, [each] to its place, and put [them] down in the house of God.
I sudovi doma Božijega zlatni i srebrni što Navuhodonosor bješe uzeo iz crkve Jerusalimske i donio u Vavilon, da se vrate i opet odnesu u crkvu Jerusalimsku na svoje mjesto i da se ostave u domu Božijem.
6 'Now, Tatnai, governor beyond the river, Shethar-Boznai, and their companions, the Apharsachites, who [are] beyond the river, be ye far from hence;
Zato Tatnaju upravitelju s one strane rijeke, Setar-Vosnaju s drugovima svojim Afarsašanima, koji ste s one strane rijeke, uklonite se odatle.
7 let alone the work of this house of God, let the governor of the Jews, and the elders of the Jews, build this house of God on its place.
Ostavite neka se gradi taj dom Božji, upravitelj Judejski i starješine njihove neka zidaju taj dom Božji na mjestu njegovu.
8 'And by me is made a decree concerning that which ye do with the elders of these Jews to build this house of God, that of the riches of the king, that [are] of the tribute beyond the river, speedily let the outlay be given to these men, that they cease not;
Još zapovijedam šta æete èiniti starješinama Judejskim da bi se sazidao taj dom Božji; od blaga carskoga, od dohodaka s one strane rijeke, da se daje bez oklijevanja trošak onijem ljudima da se ne ustavljaju.
9 and what they are needing — both young bullocks, and rams, and lambs for burnt-offerings to the God of heaven, wheat, salt, wine, and oil according to the saying of the priests who [are] in Jerusalem — let be given to them day by day without fail,
I što treba, bilo junaca ili ovnova i jaganjaca za žrtve paljenice Bogu nebeskomu, ili pšenice, soli, vina i ulja, kako reku sveštenici Jerusalimski, da im se daje svaki dan bez odgaðanja,
10 that they be bringing near sweet savours to the God of heaven, and praying for the life of the king, and of his sons.
Da prinose mirisne žrtve Bogu nebeskomu i da se mole za život carev i sinova njegovijeh.
11 'And by me is made a decree, that any one who changeth this thing, let wood be pulled down from his house, and being raised up, let him be smitten on it, and his house let be made a dunghill for this.
Još zapovijedam: ko bi uèinio drukèije, iz njegove kuæe da se uzme brvno i pobode, i on na njemu da se pogubi, i njegova kuæa da bude bunište za to.
12 And God, who caused His name to dwell there, doth cast down any king and people that putteth forth his hand to change, to destroy this house of God that [is] in Jerusalem; I Darius have made a decree; speedily let it be done.'
I Bog koji je ondje nastanio ime svoje, da obori svakoga cara i svaki narod koji bi digao ruku da promijeni ovo i raskopa taj dom Božji u Jerusalimu. Ja Darije zapovijedam ovo, odmah da se izvrši.
13 Then Tatnai, governor beyond the river, Shethar-Boznai, and their companions, according to that which Darius the king hath sent, so they have done speedily;
Tada Tatnaj upravitelj s ove strane rijeke, Setar-Vosnaj i drugovi njihovi uèiniše odmah kako zapovjedi Darije.
14 and the elders of the Jews are building and prospering through the prophecy of Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah son of Iddo, and they have built and finished by the decree of the God of Israel, and by the decree of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.
I starješine Judejske zidaše i napredovaše po proroštvu Ageja proroka i Zaharije sina Idova, zidaše i dovršiše po zapovijesti Boga Izrailjeva i po zapovijesti Kira i Darija i Artakserksa cara Persijskoga.
15 And this house hath gone out till the third day of the month Adar, that is [in] the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.
I svrši se taj dom do treæega dana mjeseca Adara šeste godine carovanja cara Darija.
16 And the sons of Israel have made, [and] the priests, and the Levites, and the rest of the sons of the captivity, a dedication of this house of God with joy,
I sinovi Izrailjevi, sveštenici i Leviti i ostali izmeðu onijeh koji se vratiše iz ropstva posvetiše taj dom Božji radujuæi se.
17 and have brought near for the dedication of this house of God, bullocks a hundred, rams two hundred, lambs four hundred; and young he-goats for a sin-offering for all Israel, twelve, according to the number of the tribes of Israel;
I prinesoše na posveæenje toga doma Božijega sto junaca, dvjesta ovnova, èetiri stotine jaganjaca i dvanaest jaraca na žrtvu za grijeh za svega Izrailja prema broju plemena Izrailjevijeh.
18 and they have established the priests in their divisions, and the Levites in their courses, over the service of God that [is] in Jerusalem, as it is written in the book of Moses.
I postaviše sveštenike po redovima njihovijem i Levite po redovima njihovijem da služe Bogu u Jerusalimu kako je napisano u knjizi Mojsijevoj.
19 And the sons of the captivity make the passover on the fourteenth of the first month,
Potom slaviše koji se vratiše iz ropstva pashu èetrnaestoga dana prvoga mjeseca.
20 for the priests and the Levites have been purified together — all of them [are] pure — and they slaughter the passover for all the sons of the captivity, and for their brethren the priests, and for themselves.
Jer se oèistiše i sveštenici i Leviti, te bijahu svi èisti, i klaše pashu za sve koji se vratiše iz ropstva i za braæu svoju sveštenike i za sebe same.
21 And the sons of Israel, those returning from the captivity, and every one who is separated from the uncleanness of the nations of the land unto them, to seek to Jehovah, God of Israel, do eat,
I jedoše sinovi Izrailjevi koji se vratiše iz ropstva i svi koji se od neèistote naroda zemaljskih odvojiše k njima da traže Gospoda Boga Izrailjeva.
22 and they make the feast of unleavened things seven days with joy, for Jehovah made them to rejoice, and turned round the heart of the king of Asshur unto them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.
I praznovaše praznik prijesnijeh hljebova sedam dana veseleæi se; jer ih razveseli Gospod i obrati srce cara Asirskoga k njima da ukrijepi ruke njihove u poslu oko doma Boga, Boga Izrailjeva.
