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 were moved to prophesy, Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah son of Iddo, the prophets, unto the Jews who were in Judaea and in Jerusalem, —in the name of the God of Israel, 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 arose—Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua son of Jozadak, and began to build the house of God, which was in Jerusalem, —and, with them, were the prophets of God, strengthening 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 that time, came unto them Tattenai pasha Beyond the River, and Shethar-bozenai, and their associates, —and, thus, spake they unto them, Who hath issued unto you an edict, this house, to build, and, this wall, to complete?
4 Tada im odgovorismo imenujuæi ljude koji graðahu tu graðevinu.
Then, after this manner, spake we unto them, —What are the names of these men, who, this building, do rear?
5 Ali bješe oko Božije na starješinama Judejskim, te im ne zabraniše dokle ne otide stvar do Darija i donesu odgovor o tom.
Nevertheless, the eye of their God, was upon the elders of Judah, and they did not forbid them, until the matter, unto Darius, should come, —and, then, answer be returned by letter, concerning this.
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.
A copy of the letter which Tattenai pasha Beyond the River, and Shethar-bozenai, and his associates, the Apharsachites, who were Beyond the Rivet, sent unto Darius the king:
7 Poslaše mu knjigu, a u njojzi bješe napisano ovako: Dariju caru svako dobro.
a message, sent they unto him, —and, thus, was it written therein, Unto Darius the king, all prosperity!
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 journeyed into the province of Judah, unto the house of the Great God, and, the same, is being built with large stones, and, timber, is being laid in the walls, —and, this work, with speed, is being done, and is prospering 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 of these elders, thus, we said to them, —Who hath issued to you an edict, this house, to build, and, this wall, to complete?
10 Pa ih i za imena njihova zapitasmo da bismo ti javili, i zapisasmo imena onijeh koji su glavari meðu njima.
Yea, their names also, asked we of them, to certify thee, —that we might write the name, of the men who are at their head.
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, returned they, answer, to us saying, —We, are servants of the God of the heavens and the earth, and are building the house which was built these many years ago, which, a great king of Israel, built and completed.
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 the heavens to wrath, he delivered them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, the Chaldean, —and, this house, he destroyed, and, the people, he exiled to Babylon.
13 Ali prve godine Kira cara Vavilonskoga, car Kir zapovjedi da se sazida ovaj dom Božji.
Howbeit, in the first year of Cyrus king of Babylon, Cyrus the king, issued an edict, this house of God, to build.
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,
Moreover also, the utensils of the house of God, of gold and silver, which, Nebuchadnezzar, had brought forth out of the temple which was in Jerusalem, and had brought into the temple of Babylon, Cyrus the king, brought them forth, out of the temple of Babylon, —and they were delivered to one Sheshbazzar by name, whom he made, pasha;
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 to him—These utensils, take, go carry them into the temple that is in Jerusalem, —and let, the house of God, be built in its 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, this Sheshbazzar, came, he laid the foundations of the house of God, which was in Jerusalem, —and, since then, even until now, it hath been in building, and 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, unto the king, it seem good, let search be made in the treasure-house of the king which is there, in Babylon, whether it be so, that, from Cyrus the king, issued an edict, to build this house of God, in Jerusalem, —and, the pleasure of the king concerning this, let him send unto us.
