Ezra 8

Evo glavara obitelji s rodoslovljem koji su sa mnom pošli iz Babilona za vladavine kralja Artakserksa:

These are now the chief of their fathers, and this is the genealogy of them that went up with me from Babylon, in the reign of Artaxerxes the king.

Od Pinhasovih sinova: Geršom; od Itamarovih sinova: Daniel; od Davidovih sinova: Hatuš,

Of the sons of Phinehas; Gershom: of the sons of Ithamar; Daniel: of the sons of David; Hattush.

Šekanijini sinovi; od sinova Paroševih: Zaharija i s njim upisanih muškaraca stotinu i pedeset;

Of the sons of Shechaniah, of the sons of Pharosh; Zechariah: and with him were reckoned by genealogy of the males an hundred and fifty.

And of the sons of Azgad; Johanan the son of Hakkatan, and with him an hundred and ten males.

od posljednjih Adonikamovih sinova poimence: Elifelet, Jeiel i Šemaja, i s njima šezdeset muškaraca;

And of the last sons of Adonikam, whose names are these, Eliphelet, Jeiel, and Shemaiah, and with them threescore males.

i od sinova Bigvajevih: Utaj, sin Zabudov, i s njim sedamdeset muškaraca.

Of the sons also of Bigvai; Uthai, and Zabbud, and with them seventy males.

Sabrao sam ih kod rijeke koja teče prema Ahavi. Utaborili smo se za tri dana ondje. Pregledao sam svjetovnjake i svećenike, ali nisam ondje našao ni jednog levita.

And I gathered them together to the river that runneth to Ahava; and there abode we in tents three days: and I viewed the people, and the priests, and found there none of the sons of Levi.

Tada sam poslao glavare Eliezera, Ariela, Šemaju, Elnatana, Jariba, Elnatana, Natana, Zahariju, Mešulama i učitelje Jojariba i Elnatana

Then sent I for Eliezer, for Ariel, for Shemaiah, and for Elnathan, and for Jarib, and for Elnathan, and for Nathan, and for Zechariah, and for Meshullam, chief men; also for Joiarib, and for Elnathan, men of understanding.

i uputio sam ih Idonu, poglavaru mjesta Kasifje. Stavio sam u njihova usta riječi koje će reći Idonu i njegovoj braći koja su se nalazila u mjestu Kasifji da nam pribave sluge za Dom Boga našega.

And I sent them with commandment unto Iddo the chief at the place Casiphia, and I told them what they should say unto Iddo, and to his brethren the Nethinims, at the place Casiphia, that they should bring unto us ministers for the house of our God.

Milostiva ruka Boga našega bijaše nad nama i oni nam dovedoše razumna čovjeka između sinova Mahlija, sina Levijeva, sina Izraelova: Šerebju s njegovim sinovima i braćom - njih osamnaest.

And by the good hand of our God upon us they brought us a man of understanding, of the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel; and Sherebiah, with his sons and his brethren, eighteen;

Još Hašabju i s njim njegova brata Izaiju, sina Merarijeva, i njihove sinove: njih dvadeset.

And Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari, his brethren and their sons, twenty;

A od poslužitelja koje su David i glavari postavili levitima da im služe: dvije stotine i dvadeset poslužitelja. Svi su bili poimence zabilježeni.

Also of the Nethinims, whom David and the princes had appointed for the service of the Levites, two hundred and twenty Nethinims: all of them were expressed by name.

Ja sam ondje, kraj rijeke Ahave, proglasio post: da bismo se ponizili pred Bogom svojim i od njega izmolili sretan put sebi, svojoj djeci i svemu blagu svojem.

Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river of Ahava, that we might afflict ourselves before our God, to seek of him a right way for us, and for our little ones, and for all our substance.

Jer bih se stidio moliti od kralja vojske i konjanika da nas štite putem od neprijatelja; izjavili smo, naprotiv, kralju: "Ruka je Boga našega ispružena da blagoslovi sve one koji ga traže; njegova snaga i gnjev njegov nad onima su koji ga ostavljaju."

For I was ashamed to require of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way: because we had spoken unto the king, saying, The hand of our God is upon all them for good that seek him; but his power and his wrath is against all them that forsake him.

I tako smo postili i molili Boga svoga na ovu nakanu, i on nas usliša.

So we fasted and besought our God for this: and he was intreated of us.

Izabrao sam dvanaest glavara svećeničkih, Šerebju i Hašabju, i s njima desetoricu njihove braće;

Then I separated twelve of the chief of the priests, Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brethren with them,

izmjerih im srebro, zlato i posuđe, darove koje su kralj, njegovi savjetnici, velikaši i svi Izraelci darovali za Dom Boga našega.

And weighed unto them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, even the offering of the house of our God, which the king, and his counsellors, and his lords, and all Israel there present, had offered:

Izmjerih i stavih u njihove ruke šest stotina i pedeset talenata srebra, stotinu srebrnih posuda od po dva talenta, stotinu talenata zlata,

I even weighed unto their hand six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and silver vessels an hundred talents, and of gold an hundred talents;

dvadeset zlatnih čaša od tisuću darika i dva vrča od dobre pozlaćene mjedi, skupocjene kao zlato.

Also twenty basons of gold, of a thousand drams; and two vessels of fine copper, precious as gold.

I rekoh im: "Vi ste Jahvi posvećeni; ovo je posuđe posvećeno, ovo srebro i zlato dragovoljno je darovano Jahvi, Bogu otaca vaših.

And I said unto them, Ye are holy unto the LORD; the vessels are holy also; and the silver and the gold are a freewill offering unto the LORD God of your fathers.

Pazite i čuvajte ovo sve dok ne izmjerite pred glavarima svećeničkim i pred levitima i glavarima obitelji Izraelovih u Jeruzalemu, u dvoranama Doma Jahvina."

Watch ye, and keep them, until ye weigh them before the chief of the priests and the Levites, and chief of the fathers of Israel, at Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of the LORD.

Svećenici i leviti primiše, dakle, izmjereno srebro, zlato i posuđe da ga odnesu u Jeruzalem, u Dom Boga našega.

So took the priests and the Levites the weight of the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, to bring them to Jerusalem unto the house of our God.

Dvanaestog dana prvoga mjeseca krenusmo od rijeke Ahave da pođemo u Jeruzalem: ruka Boga našega bijaše nad nama; on nas je na putu štitio od napada neprijatelja i od pljačkaša.

Then we departed from the river of Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month, to go unto Jerusalem: and the hand of our God was upon us, and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy, and of such as lay in wait by the way.

Stigli smo u Jeruzalem i ondje smo se tri dana odmarali.

And we came to Jerusalem, and abode there three days.

Četvrtoga dana izmjereno je srebro, zlato i posuđe u Domu Boga našega i predano je u ruke Merimotu, sinu Urijinu, s kojim je bio Eleazar, sin Pinhasov; a pred njima bijahu leviti: Jozabad, sin Ješuin, i Noadja, sin Binujev.

Now on the fourth day was the silver and the gold and the vessels weighed in the house of our God by the hand of Meremoth the son of Uriah the priest; and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinehas; and with them was Jozabad the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah the son of Binnui, Levites;

Sve je bilo na broju i težini. Zabilježena je tada sveukupna težina. U to vrijeme

By number and by weight of every one: and all the weight was written at that time.

oni koji su se vratili iz sužanjstva, povratnici, priniješe žrtvu paljenicu Bogu Izraelovu: dvanaest junaca za sav Izrael, devedeset i šest ovnova, sedamdeset i sedam janjaca, dvanaest jaraca za grijehe - sve to kao paljenicu Jahvi.

Also the children of those that had been carried away, which were come out of the captivity, offered burnt offerings unto the God of Israel, twelve bullocks for all Israel, ninety and six rams, seventy and seven lambs, twelve he goats for a sin offering: all this was a burnt offering unto the LORD.

Zatim predaše kraljeve naredbe kraljevskim satrapima i upraviteljima s one strane Rijeke i oni pomogoše narod i Dom Božji.

And they delivered the king's commissions unto the king's lieutenants, and to the governors on this side the river: and they furthered the people, and the house of God.
