Ezra, 10

1. Therefore, as Ezra was praying, and imploring, and weeping in this way, and was prostrate before the temple of God, an exceedingly great assembly of men and women and children was gathered to him from Israel. And the people wept with a great weeping.

1. Dok je Ezra molio i priznavao grijehe, plaèuæi i ležeæi pred Domom Božjim, skupilo se oko njega mnoštvo Izraelaca, ljudi, žena i djece: i taj je narod gorko plakao.

2. And Shecaniah, the son of Jehiel, from the sons of Elam, responded and said to Ezra: “We have sinned against our God, and have taken foreign wives from the peoples of the land. And now, if there is repentance within Israel over this,

2. Tada Šekanija, sin Jehielov, jedan od sinova Elamovih, uzimajuæi rijeè reèe Ezri: "Mi smo izdali Boga svoga ženeæi se tuðinkama iz naroda zemlje. Ali još ima nade Izraelu.

3. let us strike a pact with the Lord our God, so that we may cast aside all the wives, and those who have been born from them, in accord with the will of the Lord, and of those who fear the precept of the Lord our God. So let it be done, according to the law.

3. Obnovimo sada Savez s Bogom svojim: obeæajmo da æemo, prema savjetu moga gospodara i onih koji osjeæaju strahopoèitanje prema zapovijedi Boga našega, otpustiti svoje žene tuðinke i djecu koju su rodile. Uèinimo dakle po Zakonu!

4. Rise up. It is for you to discern, and we shall be with you. Be strengthened and act.”

4. Ustani, jer to je tvoja dužnost, a mi æemo biti uza te. Budi hrabar i na djelo!"

5. Therefore, Ezra rose up, and he caused the leaders of the priests and the Levites, and all of Israel, to swear that they would act in accord with this word. And they swore it.

5. Tada ustade Ezra i zakle glavare sveæenièke, i levite, i sve Izraelce da æe uèiniti kako im bijaše rekao. I zakleše se.

6. And Ezra rose up before the house of God, and he went away to the chamber of Jehohanan, the son of Eliashib, and he entered into it. He did not eat bread, and he did not drink water. For he was mourning the transgression of those who had arrived from the captivity.

6. Ezra se udalji ispred Doma Božjega i uðe u dvoranu Johanana, sina Elijašibova. Ondje provede noæ i nije jeo ni kruha niti je pio vode jer tugovaše zbog nevjernosti povratnika.

7. And a voice was sent into Judah and Jerusalem, to all the sons of the transmigration, so that they would gather together in Jerusalem.

7. Zatim je objavljeno u Judeji i Jeruzalemu svima povratnicima da se skupe u Jeruzalemu:

8. And all those who would not arrive within three days, in accord with the counsel of the leaders and the elders, would have all his substance taken away, and he would be cast out of the assembly of the transmigration.

8. a tko ne bude došao u Jeruzalem za tri dana, toga æe pozvati glavari i starješine, bit æe mu zaplijenjeno imanje i iskljuèit æe ga iz zbora povratnika.

9. And so, all the men of Judah and of Benjamin convened in Jerusalem within three days. This was in the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month. And all the people sat in the street of the house of God, trembling because of the sin and the rain.

9. Svi su se ljudi od Jude i Benjamina sakupili tako za tri dana u Jeruzalemu. Bilo je to devetoga mjeseca, dvadesetoga dana u mjesecu. Sav se narod smjestio na trgu pred Domom Božjim, dršæuæi zbog svega toga i zbog jake kiše.

10. And Ezra, the priest, rose up, and he said to them: “You have transgressed, and you have taken foreign wives, so that you added to the offenses of Israel.

10. Tada, ustavši, sveæenik Ezra reèe im: "Vi ste se iznevjerili kad ste se oženili tuðinkama. Tako ste poveæali grijeh Izraelov!

11. And now, make confession to the Lord, the God of your fathers, and do what pleases him, and separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from your foreign wives.”

11. Ali podajte sada hvalu Jahvi, Bogu otaca svojih, i izvršite volju njegovu te se rastavite od naroda zemlje i od žena tuðinki."

12. And the entire multitude responded, and they said with a great voice: “In accord with your word to us, so let be it done.

12. Sav je zbor odgovorio snažnim glasom: "Jest, dužnost nam je uèiniti po tvome savjetu!

13. Yet truly, since the people are many, and it is the time of rain, and we cannot endure standing outside, and this is not a task for one or two days, (for certainly we have sinned greatly in this matter,)

13. Ali naroda ima mnogo i dažd nahodi: vani se ne može stajati. Osim toga, nije to posao od dan-dva, jer nas je mnogo koji smo u tome sagriješili.

14. let leaders be appointed among the entire multitude. And in all our cities, let those who have taken foreign wives arrive at appointed times, and with them the elders from city to city, and the judges, until the wrath of our God has been averted from us over this sin.”

14. Mogu nas na zajednièkom zboru zastupati naši glavari: svi koji su po našim gradovima oženjeni tuðinkama mogu doæi u odreðeno vrijeme u pratnji starješina i sudaca svakoga grada, sve dok ne budemo odvratili gnjev Boga svojega zbog ovoga."

15. And so Jonathan, the son of Asahel, and Jahzeiah, the son of Tikvah, were appointed over this, and the Levites Meshullam and Shabbethai assisted them.

15. Samo Jonatan, sin Asahelov, i Jahzija, sin Tikvin, bijahu se usprotivili; a podupirahu ih Mešulam i levit Šabetaj.

16. And the sons of the transmigration did so. And Ezra, the priest, and the men who were the leaders of the families in the houses of their fathers, and all according to their names, went and sat down, on the first day of the tenth month, so that they might examine the matter.

16. Povratnici uèiniše tako: rastaše se. Sveæenik Ezra izabra za pomoænike glavare obitelji, prema njihovim domovima, i svi su bili poimence odreðeni. Poèeli su zasjedati prvoga dana desetoga mjeseca da bi sve ispitali.

17. And they made an end with all the men who had taken foreign wives, by the first day of the first month.

17. I prvoga dana prvoga mjeseca završiše sa svima koji se bijahu oženili tuðinkama.

18. And there were found among the sons of the priests some who had taken foreign wives: From the sons of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and his brothers, Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah.

18. Meðu pripadnicima sveæenstva evo koji bijahu oženjeni tuðinkama: izmeðu sinova Ješue, sina Josadakova, i meðu njegovom braæom: Maaseja, Eliezer, Jarib i Gedalija;

19. And they swore with their hands that they would cast aside their wives, and that they would offer for their offense a ram from among the sheep.

19. oni dadoše svoju ruku da æe otpustiti svoje žene i da æe za svoj grijeh prinijeti ovna kao naknadnicu.
