Књига Немијина 13
1 У то време чита се књига Мојсијева народу, и у њој се нађе написано да не улази Амонац ни Моавац у сабор Божји до века;
On that day they read in the scroll of Moses in the audience of the people; and in it was found written, that an Ammonite and a Moabite should not enter into the assembly of God forever,
2 Јер не сретоше синове израиљеве с хлебом и водом, него најмише на њих Валама да их прокуне, али Бог наш обрати ону клетву у благослов.
because they did not meet the children of Israel with bread and with water, but hired Balaam against them, to curse them: however our God turned the curse into a blessing.
3 А кад чуше тај закон одлучише од Израиља све туђинце.
It came to pass, when they had heard the law, that they separated from Israel all the mixed multitude.
4 А пре тога Елијасив свештеник, који беше над клетима дома Бога нашег, опријатељи се с Товијом,
Now before this, Eliashib the priest, who was appointed over the rooms of the house of our God, being allied to Tobiah,
5 И начини му велику клет, где се пре остављаху дари и кад и судови и десетак од жита, вина и уља, одређени Левитима и певачима и вратарима, и приноси за свештенике.
had prepared for him a great room, where before they laid the meal offerings, the frankincense, and the vessels, and the tithes of the grain, the new wine, and the oil, which were given by commandment to the Levites, and the singers, and the gatekeepers; and the wave offerings for the priests.
6 А кад то све биваше, не бејах у Јерусалиму, јер тридесет друге године Артаксеркса, цара вавилонског, вратих се к цару, и после неколико година измолих се опет у цара.
But in all this, I was not at Jerusalem; for in the two and thirtieth year of Artachshasta king of Babylon I went to the king: and after certain days asked I leave of the king,
7 И кад дођох у Јерусалим, видех зло што учини Елијасив ради Товије начинивши му клет у трему дома Божјег.
and I came to Jerusalem, and understood the evil that Eliashib had done for Tobiah, in preparing him a room in the courts of God's house.
8 И би ми врло мрско, те избацих све покућство Товијино напоље из клети.
It grieved me severely: therefore I cast forth all the household stuff of Tobiah out of the room.
9 И заповедих, те очистише клети; и унесох у њих опет посуђе дома Божјег, даре и кад.
Then I commanded, and they cleansed the rooms: and there brought I again the vessels of God's house, with the meal offerings and the frankincense.
10 Потом дознах да се Левитима нису давали делови, те су се разбегли сваки на своју њиву и Левити и певачи, који рађаху посао.
I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given them; so that the Levites and the singers, who did the work, had fled everyone to his field.
11 И укорих старешине и рекох: Зашто је остављен дом Божји? И сабрах их опет и поставих на њихово место.
Then I contended with the rulers, and said, "Why is God's house forsaken?" I gathered them together, and set them in their place.
12 И сви Јудејци доносише десетке од жита и вина и уља у спреме.
Then brought all Judah the tithe of the grain and the new wine and the oil to the treasuries.
13 И поставих настојнике над спремама, Селмију свештеника и Садока књижевника, и између Левита Федају, и уз њих Анана, сина Захура сина Матанијиног, јер се за верне држаху; и беше им посао делити браћи својој.
And I commanded Shelemiah the priest, and Zadok the scribe, and Pedaiah of the Levites be in charge of the storerooms. And next to them was Hanan the son of Zakkur, the son of Mattaniah, for they were considered trustworthy, and their responsibility was the distribution to their brothers.
14 Помени ме, Боже мој, зато, и немој избрисати добра мојих која учиних дому Бога свог и служби његовој.
Remember me, my God, concerning this, and do not wipe out my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for its observances.
15 У то време видех у Јудеји где газе у кацама у суботу и носе снопове натоваривши на магарце, и вино, грожђе и смокве и свакојаке товаре, и носе у Јерусалим у суботу, и прекорих их онај дан кад продаваху житак.
In those days I saw in Judah some men treading winepresses on the Sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and loading donkeys; as also wine, grapes, and figs, and all kinds of burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the Sabbath day: and I testified against them in the day in which they sold food.
16 И Тирци који живљаху у Јерусалиму доношаху рибу и свакојаки трг и продаваху у суботу синовима Јудиним у Јерусалиму.
There lived men of Tyre also in it, who brought in fish, and all kinds of wares, and sold on the Sabbath to the people of Judah, and in Jerusalem.
17 Зато прекорих главаре јудејске и рекох им: Какво је то зло што чините те скврните суботу?
Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said to them, "What evil thing is this that you do, and profane the Sabbath day?
18 Нису ли тако чинили оци ваши, те Бог наш пусти на нас и на овај град све ово зло? И ви још умножавате гнев на Израиља скврнећи суботу.
Did not your fathers do thus, and did not our God bring all this disaster on us, and on this city? Yet you bring more wrath on Israel by profaning the Sabbath."
19 И кад дође сен на врата јерусалимска уочи суботе, заповедих те затворише врата, и заповедих да их не отварају до после суботе; и поставих неколико својих момака на вратима да се не уноси никакав товар у суботу.
It came to pass that, when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the Sabbath, I commanded that the doors should be shut, and commanded that they should not be opened until after the Sabbath. I set some of my servants over the gates, that no burden should be brought in on the Sabbath day.
20 И преноћише трговци и који продаваху свакојаки трг иза Јерусалима једном и другом.
So the merchants and sellers of all kinds of wares lodged outside of Jerusalem once or twice.
21 И опоменух их и рекох им: Зашто ноћујете око зида? Ако још једном то учините, уложићу на вас. Од тада не долазише у суботу.
Then I testified against them, and said to them, "Why do you stay around the wall? If you do so again, I will lay hands on you." From that time on, they did not come on the Sabbath.
22 А Левитима заповедих да се очисте и да дођу и чувају врата да буде свет дан суботни. И за ово помени ме, Боже мој, и опрости ми по великој милости својој.
I commanded the Levites that they should purify themselves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to sanctify the Sabbath day. Remember to me, my God, this also, and spare me according to the greatness of your loving kindness.
23 Још видех у то време Јудејце који се беху оженили Азоћанкама, Амонкама и Моавкама.
In those days also saw I the Jews who had married women of Ashdod, of Ammon, and of Moab:
24 И синови њихови говораху пола азотски, и не умеху говорити јудејски него језиком и једног и другог народа.
and their children spoke half in the speech of Ashdod, and could not speak in the Jews' language, but according to the language of each people.
25 Зато их карах и псовах, и неке између њих бих и чупах, и заклех их Богом да не дају кћери своје синовима њиховим нити да узимају кћери њихове за синове своје или за себе.
I contended with them, and cursed them, and struck certain of them, and plucked off their hair, and made them swear by God, "You shall not give your daughters to their sons, nor take their daughters for your sons, or for yourselves.
26 Није ли тим згрешио Соломун, цар Израиљев, ако и не беше у многим народима цара њему равног и мио беше Богу свом и Бог га беше поставио царем над свим Израиљем? Па опет га навратише на грех жене туђинке.
Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? Yet among many nations was there no king like him, and he was beloved of his God, and God made him king over all Israel. Nevertheless foreign women caused even him to sin.
27 А вама ли ћемо допустити да чините то све велико зло и грешите Богу нашем узимајући жене туђинке?
Shall we then listen to you to do all this great evil, to trespass against our God in marrying foreign women?"
28 И од синова Јојаде, сина Елијасива поглавара свештеничког, један беше зет Санавалату Ороњанину, ког отерах од себе.
One of the sons of Joiada, the son of Eliashib the high priest, was son-in-law to Sanballat the Horonite: therefore I chased him from me.
29 Помени их, Боже мој, што оскрвнише свештенство и завет свештенички и левитски.
Remember them, my God, because they have defiled the priesthood, and the covenant of the priests, and of the Levites.
30 И тако их очистих од свих туђинаца, и опет поставих редове свештеничке и левитске, сваког на посао његов,
Thus I cleansed them from all foreigners, and appointed duties for the priests and for the Levites, everyone in his work;
31 И да се доносе дрва за жртве на рокове, и првине. Помени ме, Боже мој, на добро.
and for the wood offering, at times appointed, and for the first fruits. Remember me, my God, for good.
