Nehemija 8
1 Tada se skupi sav narod jednodušno na ulicu koja je pred vratima vodenijem, i rekoše Jezdri književniku da donese knjigu zakona Mojsijeva koji dade Gospod Izrailju.
And all the people assembled as one man in the street that [was] before the water-gate; and they spoke to Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, which the LORD had commanded to Israel.
2 I donese Jezdra sveštenik zakon pred zbor, u kom bjehu ljudi i žene i svi koji mogahu razumjeti, prvoga dana sedmoga mjeseca.
And Ezra the priest brought the law before the congregation both of men and women, and all that could hear with understanding, upon the first day of the seventh month.
3 I èita je na ulici koja je pred vratima vodenijem od jutra do podne pred ljudima i ženama i onijem koji mogahu razumjeti, i uši svemu narodu bijahu obraæene ka knjizi zakonskoj.
And he read therein before the street that [was] before the water-gate from the morning until mid-day, before the men and the women, and those that could understand; and the ears of all the people [were attentive] to the book of the law.
4 A Jezdra književnik stajaše na mjestu povisoku, koje bjehu naèinili od drveta za to; i do njega stajaše Matatija i Sema i Anaja i Urija i Helkija i Masija s desne strane, a s lijeve Fedaja i Misailo i Malhija i Asum i Asvadana, Zaharija i Mesulam.
And Ezra the scribe stood upon a pulpit of wood, which they had made for the purpose; and beside him stood Mattithiah, and Shema, and Anaiah, and Urijah, and Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, on his right hand; and on his left hand, Pedaiah, and Mishael, and Malchiah, and Hashum, and Hashbadana, Zechariah, [and] Meshullam.
5 I otvori Jezdra knjigu na vidiku svemu narodu, jer bijaše više svega naroda, i kad je otvori, usta sav narod.
And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people; (for he was above all the people; ) and when he opened it, all the people stood up:
6 I Jezdra blagoslovi Gospoda Boga velikoga, a sav narod odgovori: amin, amin, podigavši ruke svoje, pa se saviše i pokloniše se Gospodu licem do zemlje.
And Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God. And all the people answered, Amen, Amen, with lifting their hands: and they bowed their heads, and worshiped the LORD with [their] faces to the ground.
7 A Isus i Vanije i Serevija, Jamin, Akuv, Savetaj, Odija, Masija, Kelita, Azarija, Jozavad, Anan, Felaja i drugi Leviti pouèavahu narod zakonu, i narod stajaše na mjestu.
Also Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodijah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, caused the people to understand the law: and the people [stood] in their place.
8 I èitahu knjigu, zakon Božji, razgovijetno, i razlagahu smisao, te se razumijevaše što se èitaše.
So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused [them] to understand the reading.
9 Potom Nemija, koji je Tirsata, i sveštenik Jezdra književnik i Leviti koji pouèavahu narod, rekoše svemu narodu: ovaj je dan svet Gospodu Bogu vašemu; ne tužite ni plaèite. Jer plakaše sav narod slušajuæi što govori zakon.
And Nehemiah, who [is] the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest, the scribe, and the Levites that taught the people, said to all the people, This day [is] holy to the LORD your God; mourn not, nor weep. For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the law.
10 I reèe im: idite i jedite pretilo i pijte slatko i šaljite dijelove onima koji nemaju ništa zgotovljeno, jer je ovaj dan svet Gospodu našemu. Zato ne budite žalosni, jer je radost Gospodnja vaša sila.
Then he said to them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions to them for whom nothing is prepared: for [this] day [is] holy to our LORD: neither be ye sad; for the joy of the LORD is your strength.
11 I Leviti utišaše narod govoreæi: muèite, jer je ovaj dan svet, i ne budite žalosni.
So the Levites stilled all the people, saying, Hold your peace, for the day [is] holy; neither be ye grieved.
12 I otide sav narod da jede i pije i da šalje dijelove, i veseliše se veoma što razumješe rijeèi koje im se kazaše.
And all the people went their way to eat, and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great mirth, because they had understood the words that were declared to them.
13 A sjutradan skupiše se glavari domova otaèkih iz svega naroda, sveštenici i Leviti, k Jezdri književniku da uèe što zakon govori.
And on the second day were assembled the chief of the fathers of all the people, the priests, and the Levites, to Ezra the scribe, even to understand the words of the law.
14 I naðoše napisano u zakonu da je Gospod zapovjedio preko Mojsija da sinovi Izrailjevi borave u sjenicama na praznik sedmoga mjeseca.
And they found written in the law which the LORD had commanded by Moses, that the children of Israel should dwell in booths in the feast of the seventh month:
15 I objaviše i proglasiše po svijem gradovima svojim i u Jerusalimu govoreæi: idite u goru, i donesite granja maslinova i granja od divlje masline i granja mirtova i palmova i granja od šumnatijeh drveta, da naèinite sjenice, kako je napisano.
And that they should publish and proclaim in all their cities, and in Jerusalem, saying, Go forth to the mount, and fetch olive branches, and pine branches, and myrtle branches, and palm branches, and branches of thick trees, to make booths, as [it is] written.
16 I narod izide i donese i naèini sjenice svaki na svom krovu i u svom trijemu i u trijemovima doma Božijega i na ulici kod vrata vodenijeh i na ulici kod vrata Jefremovijeh.
So the people went forth, and brought [them], and made themselves booths, every one upon the roof of his house, and in their courts, and in the courts of the house of God, and in the street of the water-gate, and in the street of the gate of Ephraim.
17 I tako naèini sjenice sav zbor, što se bješe vratio iz ropstva, i boravljahu pod sjenicama. A od vremena Isusa sina Navina do toga dana ne èiniše tako sinovi Izrailjevi. I bi veselje veoma veliko.
And all the congregation of them that had returned from the captivity made booths, and sat under the booths: for since the days of Jeshua the son of Nun to that day, had not the children of Israel done so. And there was very great gladness.
18 I èitaše se knjiga zakona Božijega svaki dan, od prvoga dana do pošljednjega; i praznovaše praznik sedam dana, a osmi dan bi sabor, kako je ureðeno.
Also day by day, from the first day to the last day, he read in the book of the law of God. And they kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day [was] a solemn assembly, according to the manner.
