Ezra 7
1 A poslije ovijeh stvari za carovanja Artakserksa cara Persijskoga Jezdra, sin Seraje sina Azarije, sina Helkije,
Now after these things, in the reign of Artachshasta king of Persia, Ezra the son of Seraiah, the son of Azariah, the son of Hilkiah,
2 Sina Saluma, sina Sadoka, sina Ahitova,
the son of Shallum, the son of Zadok, the son of Ahitub,
3 Sina Amarije, sina Azarije, sina Merajota,
the son of Amariah, the son of Azariah, the son of Meraioth,
4 Sina Zeraje, sina Ozije, sina Vukija,
the son of Zerahiah, the son of Uzzi, the son of Bukki,
5 Sina Avisuje, sina Finesa, sina Eleazara, sina Arona poglavara sveštenièkoga,
the son of Abishua, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the chief cohen;
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 Ezra went up from Babylon: and he was a ready scribe in the law of Moses, which the LORD, the God of Israel, had given; and the king granted him all his request, according to the hand of the LORD his God on him.
7 I vratiše se u Jerusalim neki sinovi Izrailjevi i sveštenici i Leviti i pjevaèi i vratari i Netineji sedme godine cara Artakserksa.
There went up some of the children of Israel, and of the cohanim, and the Levites, and the singers, and the gatekeepers, and the Nethinim, to Jerusalem, in the seventh year of Artachshasta the king.
8 A doðe u Jerusalim petoga mjeseca sedme godine toga cara.
He came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which was 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 on 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, for the good hand of his God was on him.
10 Jer Jezdra bješe upravio srce svoje da istražuje zakon Gospodnji i da ga izvršuje i da uèi Izrailja uredbama i zakonima.
For Ezra had set his heart to seek the law of the LORD, and to do it, and to teach in Israel statutes and ordinances.
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:
Now this is the copy of the letter that the king Artachshasta gave to Ezra the cohen, the scribe, even the scribe of the words of the commandments of the LORD, and of his statutes to Israel:
12 Artakserkso car nad carevima Jezdri svešteniku, književniku vještomu u zakonu Boga nebeskoga, svako dobro; tada i tada.
Artachshasta, king of kings, to Ezra the cohen, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, perfect and so forth.
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.
I make a decree, that all those of the people of Israel, and their cohanim and the Levites, in my realm, who are minded of their own free will to go to Jerusalem, go with you.
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,
Because you are sent of the king and his seven counselors, to inquire concerning Judah and Jerusalem, according to the law of your God which is in your 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 counselors have freely offered to the God of Israel, whose habitation 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 you shall find in all the province of Babylon, with the freewill offering of the people, and of the cohanim, offering willingly for 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.
therefore you shall with all diligence buy with this money bulls, rams, lambs, with their meal offerings and their drink offerings, and shall offer them on the altar of the house of your God which is in Jerusalem.
18 I što se tebi i braæi tvojoj svidi uèiniti s ostalijem srebrom i zlatom, uèinite po volji Boga svojega.
Whatever shall seem good to you and to your brothers to do with the rest of the silver and the gold, do that after 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 that are given to you for the service of the house of your God, deliver before the God of Jerusalem.
20 I što bi još trebalo domu Boga tvojega, te bi valjalo dati, podaj iz carske riznice.
Whatever more shall be needful for the house of your God, which you shall have occasion to bestow, bestow it out of the king's treasure house.
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, even I Artachshasta the king, do make a decree to all the treasurers who are beyond the River, that whatever Ezra the cohen, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, shall require of you, it be done with all diligence,
22 Do sto talanata srebra i do sto kora pšenice i do sto vata vina i do sto vata ulja, a soli bez mjere,
to one hundred talents of silver, and to one hundred measures of wheat, and to one hundred baths of wine, and to one hundred baths of oil, and salt without prescribing how much.
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.
Whatever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be done exactly for the house of the God of heaven; for why should there be wrath against the realm of the king and 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.
Also we inform you, that touching any of the cohanim and Levites, the singers, doorkeepers, Nethinim, or servants of this house of God, it shall not be lawful to impose tribute, custom, or toll, on 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.
You, Ezra, after the wisdom of your God who is in your hand, appoint magistrates and judges, who may judge all the people who are beyond the River, all such as know the laws of your God; and teach him who doesn't know them.
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.
Whoever will not do the law of your God, and the law of the king, let judgment be executed on him with all diligence, whether it be to death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of goods, or to imprisonment.
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 has put such a thing as this in the king's heart, to beautify 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 has extended loving kindness to me before the king, and his counselors, and before all the king's powerful officers. I was strengthened according to the hand of the LORD my God on me, and I gathered together out of Israel chief men to go up with me.
