Nehemiah 1
1 The words of Nehemiah the son of Hachaliah. And it came to pass in the month Chisleu, in the twentieth year, as I was in Shushan the palace,
Rijeèi Nemije sina Ahalijina. Mjeseca Hisleva godine dvadesete kad bijah u Susanu gradu,
2 That Hanani, one of my brethren, came, he and [certain] men of Judah; and I asked them concerning the Jews that had escaped, who were left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem.
Doðe Ananije jedan od braæe moje s nekima iz Judeje; i zapitah ih za Judejce, za ostatak što bješe ostao od ropstva, i za Jerusalim.
3 And they said to me, The remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province [are] in great affliction and reproach: the wall of Jerusalem also [is] broken down, and its gates are burned with fire.
A oni mi rekoše: ostatak što osta od ropstva ondje u zemlji, u velikoj je nevolji i sramoti, i zid je Jerusalimski razvaljen i vrata su mu ognjem popaljena.
4 And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned [certain] days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven,
A kad èuh te rijeèi, sjedoh i plakah, i tužih nekoliko dana, i postih i molih se pred Bogom nebeskim,
5 And said, I beseech thee, O LORD God of heaven, the great and terrible God, that keepeth covenant and mercy for them that love him and observe his commandments:
I rekoh: oh Gospode Bože nebeski, Bože veliki i strašni, koji èuvaš zavjet i milost onima koji te ljube i drže tvoje zapovijesti.
6 Let thy ear now be attentive, and thy eyes open, that thou mayest hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee now, day and night, for the children of Israel thy servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against thee: both I and my father's house have sinned.
Neka bude uho tvoje prignuto i oèi tvoje otvorene da èuješ molitvu sluge svojega kojom se sada molim pred tobom dan i noæ za sinove Izrailjeve, sluge tvoje, i ispovijedam grijehe sinova Izrailjevijeh kojima ti zgriješismo.
7 We have dealt very corruptly against thee, and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the judgments, which thou commandedst thy servant Moses.
Skrivismo ti i ne držasmo zapovijesti ni uredaba ni zakona koje si zapovjedio preko Mojsija sluge svojega.
8 Remember, I beseech thee, the word that thou commandedst thy servant Moses, saying, [If] ye transgress, I will scatter you abroad among the nations:
Ali se opomeni rijeèi koju si zapovjedio Mojsiju sluzi svojemu govoreæi: vi æete zgriješiti i ja æu vas rasijati meðu narode;
9 But [if] ye turn to me, and keep my commandments, and do them; though there were of you driven to the uttermost part of the heaven, [yet] will I gather them from thence, and will bring them to the place that I have chosen to set my name there.
Ali ako se obratite k meni i stanete držati zapovijesti moje i tvoriti ih, ako budete zagnani i na kraj svijeta, sabraæu vas odande i odvešæu vas na mjesto koje sam izabrao da ondje nastanim ime svoje.
10 Now these [are] thy servants and thy people, whom thou hast redeemed by thy great power, and by thy strong hand.
A ovo su sluge tvoje i narod tvoj, koji si iskupio silom svojom velikom i rukom svojom krjepkom.
11 O LORD, I beseech thee, let now thy ear be attentive to the prayer of thy servant, and to the prayer of thy servants, who desire to fear thy name: and prosper, I pray thee, thy servant this day, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man. For I was the king's cup-bearer.
Oh Gospode! neka bude uho tvoje prignuto k molitvi sluge tvojega i k molitvi sluga tvojih, koji su radi bojati se imena tvojega, i daj danas sreæu sluzi svojemu i uèini da naðe milost pred ovijem èovjekom. A ja bijah peharnik carev.
