Ezra 10
1 Dok je Ezra molio i priznavao grijehe, plačući i ležeći pred Domom Božjim, skupilo se oko njega mnoštvo Izraelaca, ljudi, žena i djece: i taj je narod gorko plakao.
As Ezra prayed and confessed, he wept and threw himself down before God's house. A very great assembly of Israelite men, women, and children gathered to him, for the people were weeping very greatly.
2 Tada Šekanija, sin Jehielov, jedan od sinova Elamovih, uzimajući riječ reče Ezri: “Mi smo izdali Boga svoga ženeći se tuđinkama iz naroda zemlje. Ali još ima nade Izraelu.
Shekaniah son of Jehiel of the descendants of Elam said to Ezra, “We have been unfaithful to our God and have married foreign women from the people of the other lands. But in spite of this, there is still hope for Israel.
3 Obnovimo sada Savez s Bogom svojim: obećajmo da ćemo, prema savjetu moga gospodara i onih koji osjećaju strahopočitanje prema zapovijedi Boga našega, otpustiti svoje žene tuđinke i djecu koju su rodile. Učinimo dakle po Zakonu!
So now let us make a covenant with our God to send out all the women and their children according to the Lord's instructions and the instructions of those who tremble at the commandments of our God, and let it be done according to the law.
4 Ustani, jer to je tvoja dužnost, a mi ćemo biti uza te. Budi hrabar i na djelo!”
Arise, for this thing is for you to carry out, and we are with you. Be strong and do this.”
5 Tada ustade Ezra i zakle glavare svećeničke, i levite, i sve Izraelce da će učiniti kako im bijaše rekao. I zakleše se.
So Ezra rose and made the priestly officials, the Levites, and all of Israel promise to act in this way. So they all took a solemn oath.
6 Ezra se udalji ispred Doma Božjega i uđe u dvoranu Johanana, sina Elijašibova. Ondje provede noć i nije jeo ni kruha niti je pio vode jer tugovaše zbog nevjernosti povratnika.
Then Ezra rose from before God's house and went to the rooms of Jehohanan son of Eliashib. He did not eat any bread or drink any water, since he was mourning concerning the faithlessness of those who had been in captivity.
7 Zatim je objavljeno u Judeji i Jeruzalemu svima povratnicima da se skupe u Jeruzalemu:
So they sent word in Judah and Jerusalem to all the people back from exile to assemble in Jerusalem.
8 a tko ne bude došao u Jeruzalem za tri dana, toga će pozvati glavari i starješine, bit će mu zaplijenjeno imanje i isključit će ga iz zbora povratnika.
Anyone who did not come in three days according to the instructions from the officials and elders forfeited all of his possessions and would be excluded from the great assembly of the people who had come back from exile.
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, dršćući zbog svega toga i zbog jake kiše.
So all the men of Judah and Benjamin assembled in Jerusalem in three days. It was the ninth month and the twentieth day of the month. All the people stood in the square before God's house and trembled because of the word and the rain.
10 Tada, ustavši, svećenik Ezra reče im: “Vi ste se iznevjerili kad ste se oženili tuđinkama. Tako ste povećali grijeh Izraelov!
Ezra the priest arose and said, “You yourselves have committed treason. You lived with foreign women so as to increase Israel's guilt.
11 Ali podajte sada hvalu Jahvi, Bogu otaca svojih, i izvršite volju njegovu te se rastavite od naroda zemlje i od žena tuđinki.”
But now give praise to Yahweh, your ancestors' God, and do his will. Separate from the people of the land and from the foreign women.”
12 Sav je zbor odgovorio snažnim glasom: “Jest, dužnost nam je učiniti po tvome savjetu!
All the assembly answered in a loud voice, “We will do as you have said.
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.
However, there are many people, and it is the rainy season. We have no strength to stand outside, and this is not only one or two days of work, since we have greatly transgressed in this matter.
14 Mogu nas na zajedničkom zboru zastupati naši glavari: svi koji su po našim gradovima oženjeni tuđinkama mogu doći u određeno vrijeme u pratnji starješina i sudaca svakoga grada, sve dok ne budemo odvratili gnjev Boga svojega zbog ovoga.”
So let our officials represent all the assembly. Let all who have allowed foreign women to live in our cities come at the time that will be fixed with the city elders and the city judges until the raging wrath of our God goes away from us.”
15 Samo Jonatan, sin Asahelov, i Jahzija, sin Tikvin, bijahu se usprotivili; a podupirahu ih Mešulam i levit Šabetaj.
Jonathan son of Asahel and Jahzeiah son of Tikvah opposed this, and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite supported them.
16 Povratnici učiniše tako: rastaše se. Svećenik Ezra izabra za pomoćnike glavare obitelji, prema njihovim domovima, i svi su bili poimence određeni. Počeli su zasjedati prvoga dana desetoga mjeseca da bi sve ispitali.
So the people who returned from exile did this. Ezra the priest selected men, the leaders in their ancestors' clans and houses—all of them by name, and they looked into the matter on the first day of the tenth month.
17 I prvoga dana prvoga mjeseca završiše sa svima koji se bijahu oženili tuđinkama.
By the first day of the first month they had finished discovering which men had lived with foreign women.
18 Među pripadnicima svećenstva evo koji bijahu oženjeni tuđinkama: između sinova Ješue, sina Josadakova, i među njegovom braćom: Maaseja, Eliezer, Jarib i Gedalija;
Among the descendants of the priests there were those who had lived with foreign women. Among the descendants of Jeshua son of Jozadak and his brothers there were Maaseiah, Eliezer, Jarib, and Gedaliah.
19 oni dadoše svoju ruku da će otpustiti svoje žene i da će za svoj grijeh prinijeti ovna kao naknadnicu.
So they determined to send their wives away. Since they were guilty, they offered a ram from the flock for their guilt.
