< Ezra 3 >

1 A kad doðe sedmi mjesec i sinovi Izrailjevi bijahu u svojim gradovima, sabra se narod jednodušno u Jerusalim.
But, when the seventh month was come, and the sons of Israel were in cities, then did the people gather themselves together as one man, unto Jerusalem.
2 Tada usta Isus sin Josedekov s braæom svojom sveštenicima i Zorovavelj sin Salatilov s braæom svojom, i zgradiše oltar Boga Izrailjeva da prinose na njemu žrtve paljenice kako piše u zakonu Mojsija èovjeka Božijega.
Then arose—Jeshua son of Jozadak and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and his brethren, and built the altar of the God of Israel, —to offer thereon ascending-sacrifices, as it was written in the law of Moses, the man of God.
3 I podigoše oltar na mjestu njegovu, ako i bijahu u strahu od naroda zemaljskih; i prinosiše na njemu žrtve paljenice Gospodu, žrtve paljenice jutrom i veèerom;
So they settled the altar upon its stands, for, dread, was upon them, because of the peoples of the countries, —therefore caused they to go up thereon, ascending-sacrifices unto Yahweh, ascending-sacrifices for the morning and for the evening.
4 I praznovaše praznik sjenica, kako je pisano, prinoseæi žrtve paljenice svaki dan na broj kako je ureðeno za svaki dan.
And they kept the festival of booths, as it was written, —and the ascending-offering of each day upon its own day, by number, according to regulation, the matter of a day upon its day;
5 A potom prinosiše žrtvu paljenicu svagdašnju, i na mladine i na sve praznike Gospodnje osveæene i od svakoga koji dragovoljno prinošaše prinos Gospodu.
and, afterwards, the continual ascending-sacrifice, and, on the new moons, and on all the appointed seasons of Yahweh, the hallowed things, —also for every one that volunteered a voluntary offering unto Yahweh.
6 Od prvoga dana mjeseca sedmoga poèeše prinositi žrtve paljenice Gospodu, a dom Gospodnji još ne bješe osnovan.
From the first day of the seventh month, began they to offer up ascending-sacrifices unto Yahweh, —but, the temple of Yahweh, had not had its foundation laid.
7 I dadoše novce kamenarima i drvodjeljama, i hranu i piæe i ulje Sidonjanima i Tircima da dovoze drva kedrova s Livana u more Jopsko, kako im bješe dopustio Kir car Persijski.
And they gave silver, unto the masons and carpenters, —and food and drink and oil, unto them of Zidon and unto them of Tyre, to bring in cedar-trees out of the Lebanon, unto the sea of Joppa, according to the grant of Cyrus king of Persia unto them.
8 I druge godine po povratku njihovu k domu Božijemu u Jerusalim, drugoga mjeseca poèeše Zorovavelj sin Salatilov i Isus sin Josedekov i ostala braæa njihova, sveštenici i Leviti, i svi koji doðoše iz ropstva u Jerusalim, i postaviše Levite od dvadeset godina i više da nastoje nad poslom oko doma Gospodnjega.
Now, in the second year of their coming in unto the house of God, to Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and Jeshua son of Jozadak and the rest of their brethren—the priests and the Levites, and all that were come out of the captivity to Jerusalem, and stationed the Levites, of twenty years old and upwards, to preside over the work of the house of Yahweh.
9 I bi postavljen Isus i sinovi njegovi i braæa njegova, i Kadmilo i sinovi njegovi, sinovi Judini, zajedno da nastoje nad poslenicima u domu Božijem, i sinovi Inadadovi i njihovi sinovi i braæa njihova Leviti.
So they took their station—even Jeshua, his sons and his brethren, Kadmiel and his sons, sons of Judah, as one man to preside over the doer of the work in the house of God, the sons of Henadad, their sons and their brethren, the Levites.
10 I kad zidari polagahu temelj crkvi Gospodnjoj, postaviše sveštenike obuèene s trubama i Levite sinove Asafove s kimvalima da hvale Gospoda po uredbi Davida cara Izrailjeva.
And, when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of Yahweh, then the priests, enrobed, took their stand with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to offer praise unto Yahweh, after the instructions of David king of Israel.
11 I pjevahu naizmjence hvaleæi i slaveæi Gospoda: jer je dovijeka milost njegova nad Izrailjem. I sav narod podvikivaše iza glasa hvaleæi Gospoda što se osnivaše dom Gospodnji.
And, when they made responses in offering praise and in giving thanks unto Yahweh—For he is good, for, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness, upon Israel, then, all the people, shouted with a great shout, in offering praise unto Yahweh, over the laying of the foundation of the house of Yahweh.
12 A mnogi od sveštenika i Levita i glavara domova otaèkih, starci koji bijahu vidjeli preðašnji dom, plakahu iza glasa gledajuæi ovaj dom koji se osnivaše, a mnogi opet podvikivahu od radosti,
But, many of the priests and the Levites and the ancestral chiefs, who were old men, that had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, were weeping with a loud voice, —many, however, shouting and rejoicing, with voice raised on high;
13 Te narod ne mogaše razaznati vike radosne od vike plaène u narodu, jer narod podvikivaše iza glasa, i vika se èujaše daleko.
so that the people could not distinguish the noise of the shout of joy, from the noise of the weeping of the people, —for, the people, did shout with a great shout, and, the noise, was heard afar off.
