Ezra 7
1 And after these things, in the reign of Artaxerxes king of Persia, Ezra son of Seraiah, son of Azariah, son of Hilkiah,
A poslije ovijeh stvari za carovanja Artakserksa cara Persijskoga Jezdra, sin Seraje sina Azarije, sina Helkije,
2 son of Shallum, son of Zadok, son of Ahitub,
Sina Saluma, sina Sadoka, sina Ahitova,
3 son of Amariah, son of Azariah, son of Meraioth,
Sina Amarije, sina Azarije, sina Merajota,
4 son of Zerahiah, son of Uzzi, son of Bukki,
Sina Zeraje, sina Ozije, sina Vukija,
5 son of Abishua, son of Phinehas, son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the head priest;
Sina Avisuje, sina Finesa, sina Eleazara, sina Arona poglavara sveštenièkoga,
6 Ezra himself hath come up from Babylon, and he [is] a scribe ready in the law of Moses, that Jehovah God of Israel gave, and the king giveth to him — according to the hand of Jehovah his God upon him — all his request.
Taj Jezdra vrati se iz Vavilonske, a bijaše književnik vješt zakonu Mojsijevu, koji dade Gospod Bog Izrailjev, i car mu dade sve što zaiska, jer ruka Gospoda Boga njegova bijaše nad njim,
7 And there go up of the sons of Israel, and of the priests, and the Levites, and the singers, and the gatekeepers, and the Nethinim, unto Jerusalem, in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king.
I vratiše se u Jerusalim neki sinovi Izrailjevi i sveštenici i Leviti i pjevaèi i vratari i Netineji sedme godine cara Artakserksa.
8 And he cometh in to Jerusalem in the fifth month, that [is in] the seventh year of the king,
A doðe u Jerusalim petoga mjeseca sedme godine toga cara.
9 for on the first of the month he hath founded the ascent from Babylon, and on the first of the fifth month he hath come in unto Jerusalem, according to the good hand of his God upon him,
Jer prvoga dana prvoga mjeseca poðe iz Vavilonske, a prvoga dana petoga mjeseca doðe u Jerusalim, jer dobra ruka Boga njegova bješe nad njim.
10 for Ezra hath prepared his heart to seek the law of Jehovah, and to do, and to teach in Israel statute and judgment.
Jer Jezdra bješe upravio srce svoje da istražuje zakon Gospodnji i da ga izvršuje i da uèi Izrailja uredbama i zakonima.
11 And this [is] a copy of the letter that the king Artaxerxes gave to Ezra the priest, the scribe, a scribe of the words of the commands of Jehovah, and of His statutes on Israel:
A ovo je prijepis od knjige koju dade car Artakserkso Jezdri svešteniku književniku vještomu stvarima što je zapovjedio Gospod i uredbama njegovijem u Izrailju:
12 'Artaxerxes, king of kings, to Ezra the priest, a perfect scribe of the law of the God of heaven, and at such a time:
Artakserkso car nad carevima Jezdri svešteniku, književniku vještomu u zakonu Boga nebeskoga, svako dobro; tada i tada.
13 By me hath been made a decree that every one who is willing, in my kingdom, of the people of Israel and of its priests and Levites, to go to Jerusalem with thee, doth go;
Ja zapovijedam: ko god u mom carstvu od naroda Izrailjeva i od sveštenika njegovijeh i Levita hoæe od svoje volje da ide s tobom u Jerusalim, nek ide.
14 because that from the king and his seven counsellors thou art sent, to inquire concerning Judah and concerning Jerusalem, with the law of God that [is] in thy hand,
Jer se šalješ od cara i od sedam savjetnika njegovijeh da nadgledaš Judeju i Jerusalim po zakonu Boga svojega koji ti je u ruku,
15 and to carry silver and gold that the king and his counsellors willingly offered to the God of Israel, whose tabernacle [is] in Jerusalem,
I da odneseš srebro i zlato što car i savjetnici njegovi dragovoljno prinose Bogu Izrailjevu, kojemu je stan u Jerusalimu,
16 and all the silver and gold that thou findest in all the province of Babylon, with the free-will offerings of the people, and of the priests, offering willingly, for the house of their God that [is] in Jerusalem,
I sve srebro i zlato što nakupiš u svoj zemlji Vavilonskoj s dragovoljnijem prilozima koje narod i sveštenici dragovoljno prilože na dom Boga svojega u Jerusalimu.
17 therefore thou dost speedily buy with this money, bullocks, rams, lambs, and their presents, and their libations, and dost bring them near to the altar of the house of your God that [is] in Jerusalem,
Pa odmah za te novce kupi junaca i ovnova i jaganjaca s darovima njihovijem i naljevima njihovijem, i prinesi ih na oltaru doma Boga vašega u Jerusalimu.
18 and that which to thee and to thy brethren is good to do with the rest of the silver and gold, according to the will of your God ye do.'
I što se tebi i braæi tvojoj svidi uèiniti s ostalijem srebrom i zlatom, uèinite po volji Boga svojega.
19 'And the vessels that are given to thee, for the service of the house of thy God, make perfect before the God of Jerusalem;
I sudove koji su ti dati za službu u domu Boga tvojega, ostavi pred Bogom u Jerusalimu.
20 and the rest of the needful things of the house of thy God, that it falleth to thee to give, thou dost give from the treasure-house of the king.
I što bi još trebalo domu Boga tvojega, te bi valjalo dati, podaj iz carske riznice.
21 'And by me — I Artaxerxes the king — is made a decree to all treasurers who [are] beyond the river, that all that Ezra the priest, scribe of the law of the God of heaven, doth ask of you, be done speedily:
I još zapovijedam ja car Artakserkso svijem riznièarima s one strane rijeke, da što god zaište od vas Jezdra sveštenik, književnik vješti zakonu Boga nebeskoga, odmah da se uèini,
22 Unto silver a hundred talents, and unto wheat a hundred cors, and unto wine a hundred baths, and unto oil a hundred baths, and salt without reckoning;
Do sto talanata srebra i do sto kora pšenice i do sto vata vina i do sto vata ulja, a soli bez mjere,
23 all that [is] by the decree of the God of heaven, let be done diligently for the house of the God of heaven; for why is there wrath against the kingdom of the king and his sons?
Što god zapovjedi Bog nebeski, odmah da se uèini za dom Boga nebeskoga, da ne doðe gnjev na carstvo, na cara i na sinove njegove.
24 'And to you we are making known, that upon any of the priests and Levites, singers, gatekeepers, Nethinim, and servants of the house of God, tribute and custom there is no authority to lift up.
I još vam javljamo da se ni od jednoga izmeðu sveštenika i Levita i pjevaèa i vratara i Netineja i drugih sluga toga doma Božijega ne smije uzimati danak ni poreza ni carina.
25 'And thou, Ezra, according to the wisdom of thy God, that [is] in thy hand, appoint magistrates and judges who may be judges to all the people who are beyond the river, to all knowing the law of thy God, and he who hath not known ye cause to know;
A ti, Jezdra, po mudrosti Boga svojega koja ti je data postavi upravitelje i sudije da sude svemu narodu što je s one strane rijeke izmeðu svijeh koji znadu zakon Boga tvojega, i ko ne zna, uèite ga.
26 and any who doth not do the law of thy God, and the law of the king, speedily is judgment done upon him, whether to death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of riches, and to bonds.'
A ko ne bi izvršivao zakona Boga tvojega i zakona careva, odmah da mu se sudi, bilo da se pogubi ili da se progna ili da se oglobi ili da se baci u tamnicu.
27 Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of our fathers, who hath given such a thing as this in the heart of the king, to beautify the house of Jehovah that [is] in Jerusalem,
Blagosloven da je Gospod Bog otaca naših, koji dade to caru u srce da ukrasi dom Gospodnji u Jerusalimu,
28 and unto me hath stretched out kindness before the king and his counsellors, and before all the mighty heads of the king: and I have strengthened myself as the hand of Jehovah my God [is] upon me, and I gather out of Israel heads to go up with me.
I dade mi, te naðoh milost pred carem i savjetnicima njegovijem i pred svijem silnijem knezovima carevijem. I ja se oslobodih, jer ruka Gospoda Boga mojega bješe nada mnom, i skupih glavare iz Izrailja da idu sa mnom.
