< Ezra 3 >
1 Ko je prišel sedmi mesec in so bili Izraelovi otroci v mestih, se je ljudstvo kakor en človek zbralo skupaj v Jeruzalemu.
And when the seventh month drew near, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem.
2 Potem je vstal Jocadákov sin Ješúa in njegovi bratje duhovniki in Šealtiélov sin Zerubabél in njegovi bratje in zgradili so oltar Izraelovemu Bogu, da na njem darujejo žgalne daritve, kakor je to zapisano v postavi Mojzesa, Božjega moža.
Then arose Jeshua' the son of Jozadak, and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealthiel, and his brethren, and they built the altar of the God of Israel, to offer thereon burnt-offerings, as it is written in the law of Moses the man of God.
3 Nad njegovimi podnožji so postavili oltar, kajti strah je bil nad njimi zaradi ljudstva tistih dežel. Na njem so darovali žgalne daritve Gospodu, torej žgalne daritve zjutraj in zvečer.
And they erected the altar upon its foundations; for there was fear upon them because of the people of these countries; and they offered thereon burnt-offerings unto the Lord, burnt-offerings at morning and at evening.
4 Imeli so tudi šotorski praznik, kakor je ta zapisan in darovali so dnevne žgalne daritve po številu, glede na navado, kakor je zahtevala vsakodnevna dolžnost.
And they celebrated the feast of tabernacles, as it is written, and [offered] the daily burnt-offerings by number, according to the prescribed manner, the offering of every day on its day;
5 Potem so darovali nenehno žgalno daritev, tako na mlaje in ob vseh določenih Gospodovih praznikih, [tisti], ki so bili posvečeni in od vsakega, ki je voljno daroval prostovoljno daritev Gospodu.
And afterward the continual burnt-offering, and that for the new moons, and for all the feasts of the Lord that are hallowed, and that of every one who willingly offered a free-will offering unto the Lord.
6 Od prvega dne sedmega meseca so začeli darovati žgalne daritve Gospodu. Toda temelj Gospodovega templja še ni bil položen.
From the first day of the seventh month began they to offer burnt-offerings unto the Lord: although the foundation of the temple of the Lord had not yet been laid.
7 Denar so dajali tudi zidarjem in tesarjem; in hrano, pijačo in olje tistim iz Sidóna in tistim iz Tira, da iz Libanona pripeljejo cedrova drevesa k morju pri Jopi, glede na dovoljenje, ki so ga imeli od perzijskega kralja Kira.
Then did they give money unto the masons, and to the carpenters; and food, and drink, and oil, unto the Zidonians and Tyrians, to bring cedar-trees from the Lebanon by sea to Joppa, according to the permission of Cyrus the king of Persia for them.
8 Torej v drugem letu svojega prihoda k Božji hiši v Jeruzalemu, v drugem mesecu, so začeli Šealtiélov sin Zerubabél, Jocadákov sin Ješúa in preostanek izmed njihovih bratov duhovnikov in Lévijevcev in vsi tisti, ki so prišli iz ujetništva v Jeruzalem in določili so Lévijevce, od dvajset let stare in navzgor, da poženejo delo Gospodove hiše.
And in the second year of their coming unto the house of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, did Zerubbabel the son of Shealthiel and Jeshua' the son of Jozadak, and the remainder of their brethren the priests and the Levites, and all they that were come out of the captivity unto Jerusalem make a beginning; and they appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to superintend the work of the house of the Lord.
9 Potem so skupaj vstali Ješúa, s svojimi sinovi in svojimi brati, Kadmiél in njegovi sinovi, Judovi sinovi, da postavijo delavce v Božji hiši, Henadádove sinove z njihovimi sinovi in njihovimi brati Lévijevci.
Then stood forward Jeshua' with his sons and his brethren, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, as one man, to superintend the workmen in the house of God; [also] the sons of Chenadad, their sons and their brethren the Levites.
10 Ko so graditelji položili temelj Gospodovemu templju, so postavili duhovnike v njihovi obleki s trobentami in Lévijevce, Asáfove sinove, s cimbalami, da hvalijo Gospoda, po odredbi Izraelovega kralja Davida.
And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the Lord, they placed the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Assaph with cymbals, to praise the Lord, after the manner of David the king of Israel.
11 Peli so skupaj po skupini v slavljenju in zahvaljevanju Gospodu, ker je dober, kajti njegovo usmiljenje do Izraela traja večno. In vse ljudstvo je vriskalo z močnim vzklikanjem, ko so hvalili Gospoda, ker je bil položen temelj Gospodove hiše.
And they sang responsively in praise and thanksgiving unto the Lord; because he is good, for unto everlasting endureth his kindness toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, while praising the Lord; because the foundation of the house of the Lord had been laid.
12 Vendar pa so mnogi izmed duhovnikov in Lévijevcev in vodij očetov, ki so bili starodavni ljudje, ki so videli prvo hišo, ko so bili temelji te hiše položeni pred njihovimi očmi, jokali z močnim glasom in mnogi so zaradi radosti na glas vzklikali,
But many of the priests and Levites and chiefs of the divisions, the aged, who had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice, while many, shouting for joy, raised aloud their voice:
13 tako da ljudstvo ni moglo razločiti glasu radostnega vzklikanja od glasu jokanja ljudstva, kajti ljudstvo je vzklikalo z glasnim vriskom in zvok je bilo slišati daleč proč.
So that the people could not distinguish the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people; for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard ever so far off.
