Then King Darius gaue commandement, and they made search in the librarie of the treasures, which were there layd vp in Babel.

2 I naðoše u Ahmeti u dvoru carskom u zemlji Midskoj knjigu u kojoj bješe zapisan ovaj spomen:

And there was founde in a coffer (in the palace that was in the prouince of the Medes) a volume, and therein was it thus written, as a memoriall,

3 Prve godine cara Kira zapovjedi car Kir: dom Božji u Jerusalimu da se sazida da bude mjesto gdje æe se prinositi žrtve, i temelji da mu se izidaju, da bude visok šezdeset lakata i širok šezdeset lakata.

IN THE FIRST yeere of King Cyrus, King Cyrus made a decree for the house of God in Ierusalem, Let the house be buylt, euen the place where they offred sacrifices, and let the walles thereof be ioyned together: let the height thereof be three score cubites, and the breadth thereof three score cubites,

4 Tri reda da budu od kamenja velikoga i jedan red od drveta novoga, a trošak da se daje iz carskoga doma.

Three orders of great stones, and one order of timber, and let the expenses be giuen of the Kings house.

5 I sudovi doma Božijega zlatni i srebrni što Navuhodonosor bješe uzeo iz crkve Jerusalimske i donio u Vavilon, da se vrate i opet odnesu u crkvu Jerusalimsku na svoje mjesto i da se ostave u domu Božijem.

And also let them render the vessels of the house of God (of golde and siluer, which Nebuchadnezzar tooke out of the Temple, which was in Ierusalem, and brought vnto Babel) and let him goe vnto the Temple that is in Ierusalem to his place, and put them in the house of God.

6 Zato Tatnaju upravitelju s one strane rijeke, Setar-Vosnaju s drugovima svojim Afarsašanima, koji ste s one strane rijeke, uklonite se odatle.

Therefore Tatnai captaine beyond the Riuer, and Shethar Boznai, (and their companions Apharsecaie, which are beyonde the Riuer) be ye farre from thence.

7 Ostavite neka se gradi taj dom Božji, upravitelj Judejski i starješine njihove neka zidaju taj dom Božji na mjestu njegovu.

Suffer ye the worke of this house of God, that the captaine of the Iewes and the Elders of the Iewes may buylde this house of God in his place.

8 Još zapovijedam šta æete èiniti starješinama Judejskim da bi se sazidao taj dom Božji; od blaga carskoga, od dohodaka s one strane rijeke, da se daje bez oklijevanja trošak onijem ljudima da se ne ustavljaju.

For I haue giuen a commandement what ye shall doe to the Elders of these Iewes, for the buylding of this house of God, that of the reuenues of the King, which is of the tribute beyonde the Riuer, there be incontinently expenses giuen vnto these men that they cease not.

9 I što treba, bilo junaca ili ovnova i jaganjaca za žrtve paljenice Bogu nebeskomu, ili pšenice, soli, vina i ulja, kako reku sveštenici Jerusalimski, da im se daje svaki dan bez odgaðanja,

And that which they shall haue neede of, let it be giuen vnto them day by day, whether it be yong bullockes, or rammes, or lambes for the burnt offrings of the God of heauen, wheate, salt, wine, and oyle, according to the appoyntment of the Priestes that are in Ierusalem, that there bee no fault,

10 Da prinose mirisne žrtve Bogu nebeskomu i da se mole za život carev i sinova njegovijeh.

That they may haue to offer sweete odours vnto the God of heauen, and praye for the Kings life, and for his sonnes.

11 Još zapovijedam: ko bi uèinio drukèije, iz njegove kuæe da se uzme brvno i pobode, i on na njemu da se pogubi, i njegova kuæa da bude bunište za to.

And I haue made a decree, that whosoeuer shall alter this sentence, the wood shall be pulled downe from his house, and shall be set vp, and he shalbe hanged thereon, and his house shalbe made a dunghill for this.

12 I Bog koji je ondje nastanio ime svoje, da obori svakoga cara i svaki narod koji bi digao ruku da promijeni ovo i raskopa taj dom Božji u Jerusalimu. Ja Darije zapovijedam ovo, odmah da se izvrši.

And the God that hath caused his Name to dwell there, destroy all Kings and people that put to their hand to alter, and to destroy this house of God, which is in Ierusalem. I Darius haue made a decree, let it be done with speede.

13 Tada Tatnaj upravitelj s ove strane rijeke, Setar-Vosnaj i drugovi njihovi uèiniše odmah kako zapovjedi Darije.

Then Tatnai the captaine beyond the Riuer, and Shethar Boznai and their companions, according to that which Darius had sent, so they did speedily.

14 I starješine Judejske zidaše i napredovaše po proroštvu Ageja proroka i Zaharije sina Idova, zidaše i dovršiše po zapovijesti Boga Izrailjeva i po zapovijesti Kira i Darija i Artakserksa cara Persijskoga.

So the Elders of the Iewes builded, and they prospered by the prophecying of Haggai the Prophet, and Zechariah the sonne of Iddo, and they buylded and finished it, by the appoyntment of the God of Israel, and by the commandement of Cyrus and Darius, and Artahshashte king of Persia.

15 I svrši se taj dom do treæega dana mjeseca Adara šeste godine carovanja cara Darija.

And this house was finished the thirde day of the moneth Adar, which was the sixt yeere of the reigne of King Darius.

16 I sinovi Izrailjevi, sveštenici i Leviti i ostali izmeðu onijeh koji se vratiše iz ropstva posvetiše taj dom Božji radujuæi se.

And the children of Israel, the Priestes, and the Leuites, and the residue of the children of the captiuitie kept the dedication of this house of God with ioy,

17 I prinesoše na posveæenje toga doma Božijega sto junaca, dvjesta ovnova, èetiri stotine jaganjaca i dvanaest jaraca na žrtvu za grijeh za svega Izrailja prema broju plemena Izrailjevijeh.

And offred at the dedication of this house of God an hundreth bullockes, two hundreth rams, foure hundreth lambes, and twelue goates, for the sinne of all Israel, according to the nomber of the tribes of Israel.

18 I postaviše sveštenike po redovima njihovijem i Levite po redovima njihovijem da služe Bogu u Jerusalimu kako je napisano u knjizi Mojsijevoj.

And they set the Priests in their order, and the Leuites in their courses ouer the seruice of God in Ierusalem, as it is written in the booke of Moses.

19 Potom slaviše koji se vratiše iz ropstva pashu èetrnaestoga dana prvoga mjeseca.

And the childre of the captiuitie kept the Passeouer on ye fourtenth day of the first moneth.

20 Jer se oèistiše i sveštenici i Leviti, te bijahu svi èisti, i klaše pashu za sve koji se vratiše iz ropstva i za braæu svoju sveštenike i za sebe same.

(For the Priests and the Leuites were purified altogether) and they killed the Passeouer for all the children of the captiuitie, and for their brethren the Priests, and for themselues.

21 I jedoše sinovi Izrailjevi koji se vratiše iz ropstva i svi koji se od neèistote naroda zemaljskih odvojiše k njima da traže Gospoda Boga Izrailjeva.

So the children of Israel which were come againe out of captiuitie, and all such as had separated themselues vnto them, from the filthines of the Heathen of the land, to seeke the Lord God of Israel, did eate,

22 I praznovaše praznik prijesnijeh hljebova sedam dana veseleæi se; jer ih razveseli Gospod i obrati srce cara Asirskoga k njima da ukrijepi ruke njihove u poslu oko doma Boga, Boga Izrailjeva.

And they kept ye feast of vnleauened bread seuen dayes with ioy: for the Lord had made them glad, and turned the heart of the King of Asshur vnto them, to incourage them in the worke of the house of God, euen the God of Israel.
