Nehemiah 13

1 On that day there was read in the book of Moses, in the ears of the people, and it hath been found written in it that an Ammonite and Moabite doth not come into the assembly of God — unto the age,

U to vrijeme èita se knjiga Mojsijeva narodu, i u njoj se naðe napisano da ne ulazi Amonac ni Moavac u sabor Božji dovijeka;

2 because they have not come before the sons of Israel with bread and with water, and hire against them Balaam to revile them, and our God turneth the reviling into a blessing.

Jer ne sretoše sinova Izrailjevijeh s hljebom i vodom, nego najmiše na njih Valama da ih prokune, ali Bog naš obrati onu kletvu u blagoslov.

3 And it cometh to pass, at their hearing the law, that they separate all the mixed people from Israel.

A kad èuše taj zakon, odluèiše od Izrailja sve tuðince.

4 And before this Eliashib the priest, appointed over chambers of the house of our God, [is] a relation of Tobiah,

A prije toga Elijasiv sveštenik, koji bješe nad klijetima doma Boga našega, oprijatelji se s Tovijom,

5 and he maketh for him a great chamber, and there they were formerly putting the present, the frankincense, and the vessels, and the tithe of the corn, the new wine, and the oil — the commanded thing of the Levites, and the singers, and the gatekeepers — and the heave-offering of the priests.

I naèini mu veliku klijet, gdje se prije ostavljahu dari i kad i sudovi i desetak od žita, vina i ulja, odreðeni Levitima i pjevaèima i vratarima, i prinosi za sveštenike.

6 And during all this I was not in Jerusalem, for in the thirty and second year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon did I come unto the king, and at the end of days I have asked of the king,

A kad to sve bivaše, ne bjeh u Jerusalimu, jer trideset druge godine Artakserksa cara Vavilonskoga vratih se k caru, i poslije nekoliko godina izmolih se opet u cara.

7 and I come in to Jerusalem, and understand concerning the evil that Eliashib hath done for Tobiah, to make to him a chamber in the courts of the house of God,

I kad doðoh u Jerusalim, vidjeh zlo što uèini Elijasiv radi Tovije naèinivši mu klijet u trijemu doma Božijega.

8 and it is very displeasing to me, and I cast all the vessels of the house of Tobiah without, out of the chamber,

I bi mi vrlo mrsko, te izbacih sve pokuæstvo Tovijino napolje iz klijeti.

9 and I speak, and they cleanse the chambers, and I bring back thither the vessels of the house of God with the present and the frankincense.

I zapovjedih, te oèistiše klijeti; i unesoh u njih opet posuðe doma Božijega, dare i kad.

10 And I know that the portions of the Levites have not been given, and they flee each to his field — the Levites and the singers, doing the work.

Potom doznah da se Levitima nijesu davali dijelovi, te su se razbjegli svaki na svoju njivu i Leviti i pjevaèi, koji raðahu posao.

11 And I strive with the prefects, and say, 'Wherefore hath the house of God been forsaken?' and I gather them, and set them on their station;

I ukorih starješine i rekoh: zašto je ostavljen dom Božji? I sabrah ih opet i postavih na njihovo mjesto.

12 and all Judah have brought in the tithe of the corn, and of the new wine, and of the oil, to the treasuries.

I svi Judejci donosiše desetke od žita i vina i ulja u spreme.

13 And I appoint treasurers over the treasuries, Shelemiah the priest, and Zadok the scribe, and Pedaiah of the Levites; and by their hand [is] Hanan son of Zaccur, son of Mattaniah, for stedfast they have been reckoned, and on them [it is] to give a portion to their brethren.

I postavih nastojnike nad spremama, Selemiju sveštenika i Sadoka književnika, i izmeðu Levita Fedaju, i uz njih Anana sina Zahura sina Matanijina, jer se za vjerne držahu; i bijaše im posao dijeliti braæi svojoj.

14 Be mindful of me, O my God, for this, and do not blot out my kind acts that I have done, for the house of my God, and for its charges.

Pomeni me, Bože moj, za to, i nemoj izbrisati dobara mojih koja uèinih domu Boga svojega i službi njegovoj.

15 In those days I have seen in Judah those treading wine-vats on sabbath, and bringing in the sheaves, and lading on the asses, and also, wine, grapes, and figs, and every burden, yea, they are bringing in to Jerusalem on the sabbath-day, and I testify in the day of their selling provision.

U to vrijeme vidjeh u Judeji gdje gaze u kacama u subotu i nose snopove natovarivši na magarce, i vino, grožðe i smokve i svakojake tovare, i nose u Jerusalim u subotu, i prekorih ih onaj dan kad prodavahu žitak.

16 And the Tyrians have dwelt in it, bringing in fish, and every ware, and selling on sabbath to the sons of Judah and in Jerusalem.

I Tirci koji življahu u Jerusalimu donošahu ribu i svakojaki trg i prodavahu u subotu sinovima Judinijem u Jerusalimu.

17 And I strive with the freemen of Judah, and say to them, 'What [is] this evil thing that ye are doing, and polluting the sabbath-day?

Zato prekorih glavare Judejske i rekoh im: kako je to zlo što èinite te skvrnite subotu?

18 Thus did not your fathers do? and our God bringeth in on us all this evil, and on this city, and ye are adding fierceness on Israel, to pollute the sabbath.'

Nijesu li tako èinili oci vaši, te Bog naš pusti na nas i na ovaj grad sve ovo zlo? I vi još umnožavate gnjev na Izrailja skvrneæi subotu.

19 And it cometh to pass, when the gates of Jerusalem have been dark before the sabbath, that I speak, and the doors are shut, and I say, that they do not open them till after the sabbath; and of my servants I have stationed at the gates; there doth not come in a burden on the sabbath-day.

I kad doðe sjen na vrata Jerusalimska uoèi subote, zapovjedih te zatvoriše vrata, i zapovjedih da ih ne otvoraju do poslije subote; i postavih nekoliko svojih momaka na vratima da se ne unosi nikakav tovar u subotu.

20 And they lodge — the merchants and sellers of all ware — at the outside of Jerusalem, once or twice,

I prenoæiše trgovci i koji prodavahu svakojaki trg iza Jerusalima jednom i drugom.

21 and I testify against them, and say unto them, 'Wherefore are ye lodging over-against the wall? if ye repeat [it], a hand I put forth upon you;' from that time they have not come in on the sabbath.

I opomenuh ih i rekoh im: zašto noæujete oko zida? Ako još jednom to uèinite, uložiæu na vas. Od tada ne dolaziše u subotu.

22 And I say to the Levites, that they be cleansed, and, coming in, keeping the gates, to sanctify the sabbath-day. Also, this, remember for me, O my God, and have pity on me, according to the abundance of Thy kindness.

A Levitima zapovjedih da se oèiste i da doðu i èuvaju vrata da bude svet dan subotni. I za ovo pomeni me, Bože moj, i oprosti mi po velikoj milosti svojoj.

23 Also, in those days, I have seen the Jews [who] have settled women of Ashdod, of Ammon, of Moab.

Još vidjeh u to vrijeme Judejce koji se bijahu oženili Azoæankama, Amonkama i Moavkama.

24 And of their sons, half are speaking Ashdoditish — and are not knowing to speak Jewish — and according to the language of people and people.

I sinovi njihovi govorahu pola Azotski, i ne umijahu govoriti Judejski nego jezikom i jednoga i drugoga naroda.

25 And I strive with them, and declare them vile, and smite certain of them, and pluck off their hair, and cause them to swear by God, 'Ye do not give your daughters to their sons, nor do ye take of their daughters to your sons, and to yourselves.

Zato ih karah i psovah, i neke izmeðu njih bih i èupah, i zakleh ih Bogom da ne daju kæeri svojih sinovima njihovijem niti da uzimaju kæeri njihovijeh za sinove svoje ili za sebe.

26 'By these did not Solomon king of Israel sin? and among the many nations there was no king like him, and beloved by his God he was, and God maketh him king over all Israel — even him did the strange women cause to sin.

Nije li tijem zgriješio Solomun car Izrailjev, ako i ne bješe u mnogim narodima cara njemu ravna i mio bješe Bogu svojemu i Bog ga bješe postavio carem nad svijem Izrailjem? pa opet ga navratiše na grijeh žene tuðinke.

27 And to you do we hearken to do all this great evil, to trespass against our God, to settle strange women?'

A vama li æemo dopustiti da èinite to sve veliko zlo i griješite Bogu našemu uzimajuæi žene tuðinke?

28 And [one] of the sons of Joiada son of Eliashib the high priest, [is] son-in-law to Sanballat the Horonite, and I cause him to flee from off me.

I od sinova Jojade sina Elijasiva poglavara sveštenièkoga jedan bješe zet Sanavalatu Oronjaninu, kojega otjerah od sebe.

29 Be mindful of them, O my God, for the redeemed of the priesthood, and the covenant of the priesthood, and of the Levites.

Pomeni ih, Bože moj, što oskvrniše sveštenstvo i zavjet sveštenièki i Levitski.

30 And I have cleansed them from every stranger, and appoint charges to priests and to Levites, each in his work,

I tako ih oèistih od svijeh tuðinaca, i opet postavih redove sveštenièke i Levitske, svakoga na posao njegov,

31 and for the wood-offering at appointed times, and for first-fruits. Be mindful of me, O my God, for good.

I da se donose drva za žrtve na rokove, i prvine. Pomeni me, Bože moj, na dobro.
