Ezra 5

1 Tada Agej prorok i Zaharija sin Idov prorok prorokovahu Judejcima koji bijahu u Judeji i u Jerusalimu u ime Boga Izrailjeva.

Then the prophets, Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophesied unto the Jews that [were] in Judah and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel, [even] unto them.

2 I usta Zorovavelj sin Salatilov i Isus sin Josedekov, i poèeše opet zidati dom Božji u Jerusalimu, i bjehu s njima proroci Božji pomažuæi im.

Then rose up Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and began to build the house of God which [is] at Jerusalem: and with them [were] the prophets of God helping them.

3 U to vrijeme doðe k njima Tatnaj upravitelj s ovu stranu rijeke, i Setar-Vosnaj i drugovi njihovi, i rekoše im ovako: ko vam je dao vlast da zidate tu kuæu i da opravljate te zidove?

At the same time came to them Tatnai, governor on this side the river, and Shethar-boznai, and their companions, and said thus unto them, Who hath commanded you to build this house, and to make up this wall?

4 Tada im odgovorismo imenujuæi ljude koji graðahu tu graðevinu.

Then said we unto them after this manner, What are the names of the men that make this building?

5 Ali bješe oko Božije na starješinama Judejskim, te im ne zabraniše dokle ne otide stvar do Darija i donesu odgovor o tom.

But the eye of their God was upon the elders of the Jews, that they could not cause them to cease, till the matter came to Darius: and then they returned answer by letter concerning this [matter].

6 A ovo je prijepis od knjige koju posla caru Dariju Tatnaj upravitelj s ove strane rijeke i Setar-Vosnaj s drugovima svojim Afarsašanima koji bijahu s ove strane rijeke.

The copy of the letter that Tatnai, governor on this side the river, and Shethar-boznai, and his companions the Apharsachites, which [were] on this side the river, sent unto Darius the king:

7 Poslaše mu knjigu, a u njojzi bješe napisano ovako: Dariju caru svako dobro.

They sent a letter unto him, wherein was written thus; Unto Darius the king, all peace.

8 Da je na znanje caru da doðosmo u Judejsku zemlju k domu Boga velikoga, koji zidaju od velikoga kamena, i drvlje meæu u zidove, i posao se brzo radi i napreduje u rukama njihovijem.

Be it known unto the king, that we went into the province of Judea, to the house of the great God, which is builded with great stones, and timber is laid in the walls, and this work goeth fast on, and prospereth in their hands.

9 I zapitasmo tamošnje starješine rekavši im: ko vam je dao vlast da zidate taj dom i da opravljate te zidove?

Then asked we those elders, [and] said unto them thus, Who commanded you to build this house, and to make up these walls?

10 Pa ih i za imena njihova zapitasmo da bismo ti javili, i zapisasmo imena onijeh koji su glavari meðu njima.

We asked their names also, to certify thee, that we might write the names of the men that [were] the chief of them.

11 A oni nam odgovoriše ovako govoreæi: mi smo sluge Boga nebeskoga i zemaljskoga, i zidamo dom koji je bio sazidan prije mnogo vremena, koji je zidao i podigao velik car Izrailjev.

And thus they returned us answer, saying, We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and build the house that was builded these many years ago, which a great king of Israel builded and set up.

12 Ali kad oci naši razgnjeviše Boga nebeskoga, dade ih u ruke Navuhodonosoru caru Vavilonskom Haldejcu, koji raskopa ovaj dom a narod preseli u Vavilon.

But after that our fathers had provoked the God of heaven unto wrath, he gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, the Chaldean, who destroyed this house, and carried the people away into Babylon.

13 Ali prve godine Kira cara Vavilonskoga, car Kir zapovjedi da se sazida ovaj dom Božji.

But in the first year of Cyrus the king of Babylon [the same] king Cyrus made a decree to build this house of God.

14 Još i sudove doma Božijega zlatne i srebrne koje Navuhodonosor bješe uzeo iz crkve Jerusalimske i odnio u crkvu Vavilonsku, iznese ih car Kir iz crkve Vavilonske, i biše dani po imenu Sasavasaru, kojega postavi upraviteljem,

And the vessels also of gold and silver of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple that [was] in Jerusalem, and brought them into the temple of Babylon, those did Cyrus the king take out of the temple of Babylon, and they were delivered unto [one], whose name [was] Sheshbazzar, whom he had made governor;

15 I reèe mu: uzmi ove sudove pa idi i odnesi ih u crkvu koja je u Jerusalimu, i dom Božji neka se sazida na svojem mjestu.

And said unto him, Take these vessels, go, carry them into the temple that [is] in Jerusalem, and let the house of God be builded in his place.

16 Onda taj Sasavasar doðe i postavi temelj domu Božijemu u Jerusalimu; i od toga vremena dosad zida se i još nije dovršen.

Then came the same Sheshbazzar, [and] laid the foundation of the house of God which [is] in Jerusalem: and since that time even until now hath it been in building, and [yet] it is not finished.

17 Ako je dakle ugodno caru, neka se potraži u riznici carskoj u Vavilonu je li car Kir zapovjedio da se sazida ovaj dom Božji u Jerusalimu, i volju svoju o tom neka nam car pošlje.

Now therefore, if [it seem] good to the king, let there be search made in the king’s treasure house, which [is] there at Babylon, whether it be [so], that a decree was made of Cyrus the king to build this house of God at Jerusalem, and let the king send his pleasure to us concerning this matter.
