Ezra 5
1 Tada Agej prorok i Zaharija sin Idov prorok prorokovahu Judejcima koji bijahu u Judeji i u Jerusalimu u ime Boga Izrailjeva.
And prophesied have the prophets, (Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah son of Iddo) unto the Jews who [are] in Judah 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 have Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua son of Jozadak, risen, and begun to build the house of God, that [is] in Jerusalem, and with them are the prophets of God supporting 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 come to them hath Tatnai, governor beyond the river, and Shethar-Boznai, and their companions, and thus they are saying to them, 'Who hath made for you a decree this house to build, and this wall to finish?'
4 Tada im odgovorismo imenujuæi ljude koji graðahu tu graðevinu.
Then thus we have said to them, 'What [are] the names of the men who are building 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.
And the eye of their God hath been upon the elders of the Jews, and they have not caused them to cease till the matter goeth to Darius, and then they send back a letter concerning this thing.
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 a letter that Tatnai, governor beyond the river, hath sent, and Shethar-Boznai and his companions, the Apharsachites who [are] beyond the river, unto Darius the king.
7 Poslaše mu knjigu, a u njojzi bješe napisano ovako: Dariju caru svako dobro.
A letter they have sent unto him, and thus is it written in it:
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.
'To Darius the king, all peace! be it known to the king that we have gone to the province of Judah, to the great house of God, and it is built [with] rolled stones, and wood is placed in the walls, and this work is done speedily, and prospering in their hand.
9 I zapitasmo tamošnje starješine rekavši im: ko vam je dao vlast da zidate taj dom i da opravljate te zidove?
Then we have asked of these elders, thus we have said to them, Who hath made for you a decree this house to build, and this wall to finish?
10 Pa ih i za imena njihova zapitasmo da bismo ti javili, i zapisasmo imena onijeh koji su glavari meðu njima.
And also their names we have asked of them, to let thee know, that we might write the names 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 they have returned us word, saying, We [are] servants of the God of heaven and earth, and are building the house that was built many years before this, that a great king of Israel built and finished:
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 made the God of heaven angry, he gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon the Chaldean, and this house he destroyed, and the people he removed to Babylon;
13 Ali prve godine Kira cara Vavilonskoga, car Kir zapovjedi da se sazida ovaj dom Božji.
but in the first year of Cyrus king of Babylon, Cyrus the king 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 also, the vessels of the house of God, of gold and silver, that Nebuchadnezzar had taken forth out of the temple that [is] in Jerusalem, and brought them to the temple of Babylon, them hath Cyrus the king brought forth out of the temple of Babylon, and they have been given to [one], Sheshbazzar [is] his name, whom he 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 to him, These vessels lift up, go, put them down in the temple that [is] in Jerusalem, and the house of God is builded on 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 hath this Sheshbazzar come — he hath laid the foundations of the house of God that [is] in Jerusalem, and from thence even till now it hath been 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.
'And now, if to the king it be good, let search be made in the treasure-house of the king, that [is] there in Babylon, whether it be that of Cyrus the king there was made a decree to build this house of God in Jerusalem, and the will of the king concerning this thing he doth send unto us.'
