Nehemiah 4
1 And it cometh to pass, when Sanballat hath heard that we are building the wall, that it is displeasing to him, and he is very angry and mocketh at the Jews,
A kad èu Sanavalat da zidamo zid, razgnjevi se i rasrdi se vrlo, i rugaše se Jevrejima,
2 and saith before his brethren and the force of Samaria, yea, he saith, 'What [are] the weak Jews doing? are they left to themselves? do they sacrifice? do they complete in a day? do they revive the stones out of the heaps of the rubbish? — and they burnt!'
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 And Tobiah the Ammonite [is] by him and saith, 'Also, that which they are building — if a fox doth go up, then it hath broken 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 have been despised; and turn back their reproach on their own head, and give them for a spoil in a 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 do not cover over their iniquity, and their sin from before Thee let not be blotted out, for they have provoked to anger — over-against those building.
I ne pokrivaj bezakonja njihova, i grijeh njihov da se ne izbriše pred tobom, jer te dražiše za one koji zidaju.
6 And we build the wall, and all the wall is joined — unto its half, and the people have a heart to work.
I tako zidasmo zid, i sav se zid sastavi do polovine, i narod imaše volju da radi.
7 And it cometh to pass, when Sanballat hath heard, and Tobiah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites, that lengthening hath gone up to the walls of Jerusalem, that the breeches have begun to be stopped, then it is very displeasing to them,
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 they conspire, all of them together, to come in to fight against Jerusalem, and to do to it injury.
I složiše se svi zajedno da doðu i da udare na Jerusalim i da smetu.
9 And we pray unto our God, and appoint a watch against them, by day and by night, because of them.
A mi se molismo Bogu svojemu i postavljasmo stražu prema njima dan i noæ od straha njihova.
10 And Judah saith, 'The power of the burden-bearers hath become feeble, and the rubbish [is] abundant, and we are not able to build on the wall.'
A Judejci rekoše: klonula je snaga nosiocima, a praha ima mnogo, ne možemo zidati zida.
11 And our adversaries say, 'They do not know, nor see, till that we come in to their midst, and have slain them, and caused 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 cometh to pass, when the Jews have come who are dwelling near them, that they say to us ten times from all the places whither ye return — [they are] against us.
Ali doðoše Judejci koji kod njih življahu, i kazaše nam deset puta: èuvajte sva mjesta kuda se ide k nama.
13 And I appoint at the lowest of the places, at the back of the wall, in the clear places, yea, I appoint the people, by 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 see, and rise up, and say unto the freemen, and unto the prefects, and unto the rest of the people, 'Be not afraid of them; the Lord, the great and the fearful, remember ye, 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 cometh to pass, when our enemies have heard that it hath been known to us, and God doth frustrate their counsel, and we turn back, all of us, unto the wall, each unto 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 yea, it cometh to pass, from that day, half of my servants are working in the business, and half of them are keeping hold of both the spears, the shields, and the bows, and the coats of mail; and the heads [are] 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 The builders on the wall, and the bearers of the burden, those lading, [each] with one of his hands is working in the business, and one is laying hold of the missile.
I koji zidahu i koji nošahu teret i koji tovarahu, svaki jednom rukom raðaše a u drugoj držaše koplje.
18 And the builders [are] each with his sword, girded on his loins, and building, and he who is blowing with a trumpet [is] beside me.
A koji zidahu, svaki imahu maè pripasan uz bedricu, i tako zidahu. A trubaè stajaše kod mene.
19 And I say unto the freemen, and unto the prefects, and unto the rest of the people, 'The work is abundant, and large, and we are separated on the wall, far off one 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 the place that ye hear the voice of the trumpet thither ye are gathered unto us; our God doth fight for us.'
Gdje èujete trubu da trubi, onamo trèite k nama; Bog naš vojevaæe za nas.
21 And we are working in the business, and half of them are keeping hold of the spears, from the going up of the dawn till the coming forth of the stars.
Tako raðasmo posao, i polovina ih držaše koplja od zore pa dokle zvijezde ne izidu.
22 Also, at that time I said to the people, 'Let each with his servant lodge in the midst of Jerusalem, and they have been to us by night a guard, and by day [for] the work:'
U to vrijeme još rekoh narodu: svaki s momkom svojim neka noæuje u Jerusalimu da bi nam noæu stražili a danju radili.
23 and there are none — I and my brethren and my servants, the men of the guard who [are] after me — there are none of us putting off our garments, each [hath] his vessel of water.
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.
