6 Taj Jezdra vrati se iz Vavilonske, a bijaše književnik vješt zakonu Mojsijevu, koji dade Gospod Bog Izrailjev, i car mu dade sve što zaiska, jer ruka Gospoda Boga njegova bijaše nad njim,
This Esdras went up from Babylon, and he was a ready scribe in the law of Moses, which the Lord God had given to Israel: and the king granted him all his request, according to the hand of the Lord his God upon him.
7 I vratiše se u Jerusalim neki sinovi Izrailjevi i sveštenici i Leviti i pjevaèi i vratari i Netineji sedme godine cara Artakserksa.
And there went up some of the children of Israel, and of the children of the priests, and of the children of the Levites, and of the singing men, and of the porters, and of the Nathinites to Jerusalem in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king.
8 A doðe u Jerusalim petoga mjeseca sedme godine toga cara.
And they came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, in the seventh year of the king.
9 Jer prvoga dana prvoga mjeseca poðe iz Vavilonske, a prvoga dana petoga mjeseca doðe u Jerusalim, jer dobra ruka Boga njegova bješe nad njim.
For upon the first day of the first month he began to go up from Babylon, and on the first day of the fifth month he came to Jerusalem according to the good hand of his God upon him.
10 Jer Jezdra bješe upravio srce svoje da istražuje zakon Gospodnji i da ga izvršuje i da uèi Izrailja uredbama i zakonima.
For Esdras had prepared his heart to seek the law of the Lord, and to do and to teach in Israel the commandments and judgment.
11 A ovo je prijepis od knjige koju dade car Artakserkso Jezdri svešteniku književniku vještomu stvarima što je zapovjedio Gospod i uredbama njegovijem u Izrailju:
And this is the copy of the letter of the edict, which king Artaxerxes gave to Esdras the priest, the scribe instructed in the words and commandments of the Lord, and his ceremonies in Israel.
12 Artakserkso car nad carevima Jezdri svešteniku, književniku vještomu u zakonu Boga nebeskoga, svako dobro; tada i tada.
Artaxerxes king of kings to Esdras the priest, the most learned scribe of the law of the God of heaven, greeting.
13 Ja zapovijedam: ko god u mom carstvu od naroda Izrailjeva i od sveštenika njegovijeh i Levita hoæe od svoje volje da ide s tobom u Jerusalim, nek ide.
It is decreed by me, that all they of the people of Israel, and of the priests and of the Levites in my realm, that are minded to go into Jerusalem, should go with thee.
14 Jer se šalješ od cara i od sedam savjetnika njegovijeh da nadgledaš Judeju i Jerusalim po zakonu Boga svojega koji ti je u ruku,
For thou art sent from before the king, and his seven counsellors, to visit Judea and Jerusalem according to the law of thy God, which is in thy hand.
15 I da odneseš srebro i zlato što car i savjetnici njegovi dragovoljno prinose Bogu Izrailjevu, kojemu je stan u Jerusalimu,
And to carry the silver and gold, which the king and his counsellors have freely offered to the God of Israel, whose tabernacle is in Jerusalem.
16 I sve srebro i zlato što nakupiš u svoj zemlji Vavilonskoj s dragovoljnijem prilozima koje narod i sveštenici dragovoljno prilože na dom Boga svojega u Jerusalimu.
And all the silver and gold that thou shalt find in all the province of Babylon, and that the people is willing to offer, and that the priests shall offer of their own accord to the house of their God, which is in Jerusalem,
17 Pa odmah za te novce kupi junaca i ovnova i jaganjaca s darovima njihovijem i naljevima njihovijem, i prinesi ih na oltaru doma Boga vašega u Jerusalimu.
Take freely, and buy diligently with this money, calves, rams, lambs, with the sacrifices and libations of them, and offer them upon the altar of the temple of your God, that is in Jerusalem.
18 I što se tebi i braæi tvojoj svidi uèiniti s ostalijem srebrom i zlatom, uèinite po volji Boga svojega.
And if it seem good to thee, and to thy brethren to do any thing with the rest of the silver and gold, do it according to the will of your God.
19 I sudove koji su ti dati za službu u domu Boga tvojega, ostavi pred Bogom u Jerusalimu.
The vessels also, that are given thee for the sacrifice of the house of thy God, deliver thou in the sight of God in Jerusalem.
20 I što bi još trebalo domu Boga tvojega, te bi valjalo dati, podaj iz carske riznice.
And whatsoever more there shall be need of for the house of thy God, how much soever thou shalt have occasion to spend, it shall be given out of the treasury, and the king’s exchequer, and by me.
21 I još zapovijedam ja car Artakserkso svijem riznièarima s one strane rijeke, da što god zaište od vas Jezdra sveštenik, književnik vješti zakonu Boga nebeskoga, odmah da se uèini,
I Artaxerxes the king have ordered and decreed to all the keepers of the public chest, that are beyond the river, that whatsoever Esdras the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, shall require of you, you give it without delay,
22 Do sto talanata srebra i do sto kora pšenice i do sto vata vina i do sto vata ulja, a soli bez mjere,
Unto a hundred talents of silver, and unto a hundred cores of wheat, and unto a hundred bates of wine, and unto a hundred bates of oil, and salt without measure.
23 Što god zapovjedi Bog nebeski, odmah da se uèini za dom Boga nebeskoga, da ne doðe gnjev na carstvo, na cara i na sinove njegove.
All that belongeth to the rites of the God of heaven, let it be given diligently in the house of the God of heaven: lest his wrath should be enkindled against the realm of the king, and of his sons.
24 I još vam javljamo da se ni od jednoga izmeðu sveštenika i Levita i pjevaèa i vratara i Netineja i drugih sluga toga doma Božijega ne smije uzimati danak ni poreza ni carina.
We give you also to understand concerning all the priests, and the Levites, and the singers, and the porters, and the Nathinites, and ministers of the house of this God, that you have no authority to impose toll or tribute, or custom upon them.
25 A ti, Jezdra, po mudrosti Boga svojega koja ti je data postavi upravitelje i sudije da sude svemu narodu što je s one strane rijeke izmeðu svijeh koji znadu zakon Boga tvojega, i ko ne zna, uèite ga.
And thou Esdras according to the wisdom of thy God, which is in thy hand, appoint judges and magistrates, that may judge all the people, that is beyond the river, that is, for them who know the law of thy God, yea and the ignorant teach ye freely.
26 A ko ne bi izvršivao zakona Boga tvojega i zakona careva, odmah da mu se sudi, bilo da se pogubi ili da se progna ili da se oglobi ili da se baci u tamnicu.
And whosoever will not do the law of thy God, and the law of the king diligently, judgment shall be executed upon him, either unto death, or unto banishment, or to the confiscation of goods, or at least to prison.
27 Blagosloven da je Gospod Bog otaca naših, koji dade to caru u srce da ukrasi dom Gospodnji u Jerusalimu,
Blessed be the Lord the God of our fathers, who hath put this in the king’s heart, to glorify the house of the Lord, which is in Jerusalem,
28 I dade mi, te naðoh milost pred carem i savjetnicima njegovijem i pred svijem silnijem knezovima carevijem. I ja se oslobodih, jer ruka Gospoda Boga mojega bješe nada mnom, i skupih glavare iz Izrailja da idu sa mnom.
And hath inclined his mercy toward me before the king and his counsellors, and all the mighty princes of the king: and I being strengthened by the hand of the Lord my God, which was upon me, gathered together out of Israel chief men to go up with me.
