< Ezra 3 >

1 A kad doðe sedmi mjesec i sinovi Izrailjevi bijahu u svojim gradovima, sabra se narod jednodušno u Jerusalim.
When the seventh month had come, and the children of Israel were in their cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem.
2 Tada usta Isus sin Josedekov s braæom svojom sveštenicima i Zorovavelj sin Salatilov s braæom svojom, i zgradiše oltar Boga Izrailjeva da prinose na njemu žrtve paljenice kako piše u zakonu Mojsija èovjeka Božijega.
Then Jeshua the son of Jozadak stood up with his brothers the cohanim, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and his brothers, and built the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings thereon, as it is written in the law of Moses the man of God.
3 I podigoše oltar na mjestu njegovu, ako i bijahu u strahu od naroda zemaljskih; i prinosiše na njemu žrtve paljenice Gospodu, žrtve paljenice jutrom i veèerom;
In spite of their fear because of the peoples of the surrounding lands, they set the altar on its base; and they offered burnt offerings on it to the LORD, even burnt offerings morning and evening.
4 I praznovaše praznik sjenica, kako je pisano, prinoseæi žrtve paljenice svaki dan na broj kako je ureðeno za svaki dan.
They kept the feast of tents, as it is written, and offered the daily burnt offerings by number, according to the ordinance, as the duty of every day required;
5 A potom prinosiše žrtvu paljenicu svagdašnju, i na mladine i na sve praznike Gospodnje osveæene i od svakoga koji dragovoljno prinošaše prinos Gospodu.
and afterward the continual burnt offering, the offerings of the new moons, of all the set feasts of the LORD that were consecrated, and of everyone who willingly offered a freewill offering to the LORD.
6 Od prvoga dana mjeseca sedmoga poèeše prinositi žrtve paljenice Gospodu, a dom Gospodnji još ne bješe osnovan.
From the first day of the seventh month, they began to offer burnt offerings to the LORD; but the foundation of the LORD's temple was not yet laid.
7 I dadoše novce kamenarima i drvodjeljama, i hranu i piæe i ulje Sidonjanima i Tircima da dovoze drva kedrova s Livana u more Jopsko, kako im bješe dopustio Kir car Persijski.
They also gave money to the masons, and to the carpenters. They also gave food, drink, and oil to the people of Sidon and Tyre, to bring cedar trees from Lebanon to the sea, to Joppa, according to the grant that they had from Koresh King of Persia.
8 I druge godine po povratku njihovu k domu Božijemu u Jerusalim, drugoga mjeseca poèeše Zorovavelj sin Salatilov i Isus sin Josedekov i ostala braæa njihova, sveštenici i Leviti, i svi koji doðoše iz ropstva u Jerusalim, i postaviše Levite od dvadeset godina i više da nastoje nad poslom oko doma Gospodnjega.
Now in the second year of their coming to God's house at Jerusalem, in the second month, Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the rest of their brothers the cohanim and the Levites, and all those who had come out of the captivity to Jerusalem, began the work and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to have the oversight of the work of the LORD's house.
9 I bi postavljen Isus i sinovi njegovi i braæa njegova, i Kadmilo i sinovi njegovi, sinovi Judini, zajedno da nastoje nad poslenicima u domu Božijem, i sinovi Inadadovi i njihovi sinovi i braæa njihova Leviti.
Then Jeshua stood with his sons and his brothers, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Hodaviah, together, to have the oversight of the workmen in God's house: the sons of Henadad, with their sons and their brothers the Levites.
10 I kad zidari polagahu temelj crkvi Gospodnjoj, postaviše sveštenike obuèene s trubama i Levite sinove Asafove s kimvalima da hvale Gospoda po uredbi Davida cara Izrailjeva.
When the builders laid the foundation of the LORD's temple, they set the cohanim in their clothing with trumpets, with the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the LORD, according to the directions of David king of Israel.
11 I pjevahu naizmjence hvaleæi i slaveæi Gospoda: jer je dovijeka milost njegova nad Izrailjem. I sav narod podvikivaše iza glasa hvaleæi Gospoda što se osnivaše dom Gospodnji.
They sang to one another in praising and giving thanks to the LORD, "For he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever toward Israel." All the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the LORD, because the foundation of the house of the LORD had been laid.
12 A mnogi od sveštenika i Levita i glavara domova otaèkih, starci koji bijahu vidjeli preðašnji dom, plakahu iza glasa gledajuæi ovaj dom koji se osnivaše, a mnogi opet podvikivahu od radosti,
But many of the cohanim and Levites and heads of fathers' households, the old men who had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice. Many also shouted aloud for joy,
13 Te narod ne mogaše razaznati vike radosne od vike plaène u narodu, jer narod podvikivaše iza glasa, i vika se èujaše daleko.
so that the people could not discern 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 far away.
