Nehemiah 9
1 Then, on the twenty-fourth day of the same month, the sons of Israel came together in fasting and in sackcloth, and with soil upon them.
Потом двадесет четвртог дана тог месеца скупише се синови Израиљеви постећи и у кострети и посувши се земљом.
2 And the offspring of the sons of Israel were separated from all the sons of foreigners. And they stood up, and they confessed their sins and the iniquities of their fathers.
И одвоји се семе Израиљево од свих туђинаца, и стадоше те исповедаху грехе своје и безакоња отаца својих.
3 And they arose to stand. And they read in the volume of the law of the Lord their God, four times in the day, and four times they confessed. And they adored the Lord their God.
И стајаху на свом месту, те им се читаше закон Господа Бога њиховог четврт дана, а други четврт исповедаху се и поклањаху се Господу Богу свом.
4 Then, upon the step of the Levites, Jeshua, and Bani, and Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani rose up. And they cried out in a great voice to the Lord their God.
А Исус и Ваније, Кадмило, Севанија, Вуније, Серевија, Ваније и Хананије попевши се на место подигнуто за Левите вапијаху гласом великим ка Господу Богу свом.
5 And the Levites, Jeshua and Kadmiel, Bunni, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah said: “Rise up. Bless the Lord your God, from eternity even to eternity! And blessed be the exalted name of your glory, with all blessing and praise.
И рекоше Левити Исус и Кадмило, Ваније, Асавнија, Серевија, Одија, Севанија и Петаја: Устаните, благосиљајте Господа Бога свог од века до века: и да се благосиља име Твоје славно и узвишено сврх сваког благослова и хвале.
6 You yourself alone, O Lord, made heaven, and the heaven of the heavens, and all their host, the earth and all things that are in it, the seas and all things that are in them. And you gave life to all these things. And the host of heaven adores you.
Ти си сам Господ; Ти си створио небо, небеса над небесима и сву војску њихову, земљу и све што је на њој, мора и све што је у њима, и Ти оживљаваш све то, и војска небеска Теби се клања.
7 You yourself, O Lord God, are the One who chose Abram. And you led him away from the fire of the Chaldeans, and you gave him the name Abraham.
Ти си Господ Бог, који си изабрао Аврама и извео из Ура халдејског и надео му име Авраам;
8 And you found his heart to be faithful before you. And you formed a covenant with him, so that you might give to him the land of the Canaanite, of the Hittite, and of the Amorite, and of the Perizzite, and of the Jebusite, and of the Girgashite, so that you might give it to his offspring. And you have fulfilled your words, for you are just.
И нашао си срце његово верно пред собом, и учинио си с њим завет да ћеш дати земљу хананску, хетејску, аморејску, ферезејску и јевусејску и гергесејску, да ћеш дати семену његовом, и испунио си речи своје јер си праведан.
9 And you saw the affliction of our fathers in Egypt. And you heard their outcry beside the Red Sea.
Јер си погледао на муку отаца наших у Мисиру, и вику њихову видео си на мору црвеном;
10 And you gave signs and portents to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to the people of his land. For you knew that they acted arrogantly against them. And you made a name for yourself, just as it is in this day.
И учинио си знаке и чудеса на Фараону и на свим слугама његовим и на свем народу земље његове, јер си знао да су обесно поступали с њима; и стекао си себи име, као што се види данас.
11 And you divided the sea before them, and they crossed through the midst of the sea on dry land. But their pursuers you cast into the depths, like a stone into great waters.
И море си раздвојио пред њима, те пређоше посред мора сувим, и бацио си у дубине оне који их гоњаху као камен у воду.
12 And in the pillar of cloud, you were their leader by day, and in the pillar of fire, by night, so that they might see the way along which they might advance.
И у ступу од облака водио си их дању, а ноћу у ступу огњеном светлећи им путем којим ће ићи.
13 You also descended to mount Sinai, and you spoke with them from heaven. And you gave them upright judgments, and the law of truth, and ceremonies, and good precepts.
И сишао си на гору Синајску и говорио с њима с неба, и дао им судове праве и законе истините, уредбе и заповести добре.
14 You revealed to them your sanctified Sabbath, and you instructed them in commandments, and ceremonies, and the law, by the hand of Moses, your servant.
И обзнанио си им суботу своју свету, и дао им заповести и уредбе и закон преко Мојсија, слуге свог.
15 You also gave them bread from heaven in their hunger, and you brought forth water from the rock for them in their thirst. And you said to them that they should enter and possess the land, over which you lifted up your hand so that you might give it to them.
И хлеб с неба дао си им у глади њиховој, и воду из камена извео си им у жеђи њиховој, и рекао си им да иду и наследе земљу за коју си подигао руку своју да ћеш им је дати.
16 Yet truly, they and our fathers acted arrogantly, and they hardened their necks, and they did not listen to your commandments.
Али они и оци наши узобестише се и отврднуше вратом својим и не слушаше заповести Твоје.
17 And they were not willing to hear, and they did not remember, your miracles which you had accomplished for them. And they hardened their necks, and they offered their head, so that they would return to their servitude, as if in contention. But you, a forgiving God, lenient and merciful, longsuffering and full of compassion, did not abandon them.
Не хтеше слушати, и не опомињаше се чудеса Твојих која си им чинио, него отврднуше вратом својим, и у одмету свом постављаше себи вође да се врате у ропство своје. Али Ти, Боже, који опрашташ који си жалостив и милостив, који дуго трпиш и велике си милости, ниси их оставио.
18 Indeed, even when they had made for themselves a molten calf, and they had said, ‘This is your God, who led you away from Egypt!’ and had committed great blasphemies,
И онда кад начинише себи теле ливено и рекоше: Ово је твој Бог који те је извео из Мисира, и хулише веома,
19 even so, in the multitude of your mercies, you did not send them away in the desert. The pillar of cloud did not withdraw from them by day, so that it might lead them on the way, nor the pillar of fire by night, so that it might show them the way along which they might advance.
Ни онда их ради велике милости своје ниси оставио у пустињи; ступ од облака није одступао од њих дању водећи их путем, нити ступ огњени ноћу светлећи им путем којим ће ићи.
20 And you gave them your good Spirit, so that he might teach them, and you did not withhold your manna from their mouth, and you gave them water in their thirst.
И дао си им добри свој дух да их уразумљује, и мане своје ниси устегао од уста њихових, и воде си им дао у жеђи њиховој.
21 For forty years, you fed them in the desert, and nothing was lacking to them; their garments did not grow old, and their feet were not worn down.
И четрдесет година хранио си их у пустињи, ништа им није недостајало: одело им не оветша и ноге им не отекоше.
22 And you gave them kingdoms and peoples, and you distributed to them by lot. And they possessed the land of Sihon, and the land of the king of Heshbon, and the land of Og, the king of Bashan.
И дао си им царства и народе, и поделио си их по крајевим, јер наследише земљу Сионову, земљу цара есевонског, и земљу цара васанског;
23 And you multiplied their sons like the stars of heaven. And you led them into the land, about which you had said to their fathers that they would enter and possess it.
И умножио си синове њихове као звезде небеске, и увео си их у земљу за коју си рекао оцима њиховим да ће ући у њу и наследити је.
24 And the sons arrived and possessed the land. And you humbled the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, before them. And you delivered them into their hands, with their kings, and the people of the land, so that they might do with them just as it was pleasing to them.
И уђоше синови њихови и наследише земљу, и покорио си им Хананеје, становнике земаљске и предао их у њихове руке, и цареве њихове и народе земаљске, да чине од њих шта им је воља.
25 And so they seized fortified cities and fat soil. And they possessed houses filled with all kinds of goods, cisterns made by others, vineyards, and olive groves, and fruit trees in abundance. And they ate and were satisfied. And they were fattened, and they abounded with delights from your great goodness.
И тако узеше тврде градове и земљу родну, и наследише куће пуне сваког добра, студенце ископане, винограде маслинике и воћке многе, и једоше и наситише се и угојише се, и благоваху по великој Твојој доброти.
26 But they provoked you to wrath, and they withdrew from you, and they cast your law behind their backs. And they killed your prophets, who contended with them so that they might return to you. And they committed great blasphemies.
Али Те разгневише и одметнуше се од Тебе: бацише закон Твој за леђа и пророке Твоје побише, који им сведочаху да би их обратили ка Теби и хулише веома.
27 And so you gave them into the hand of their enemies, and they afflicted them. And in the time of their tribulation, they cried out to you, and from heaven you heard them. And in accord with your great compassion, you gave to them saviors, who might save them from the hand of their enemies.
Зато си их давао у руке непријатељима њиховим који их мучаше. А кад у невољи својој викаше к Теби Ти си их услишио с неба и по великој милости својој давао си им избавитеље, који их избављаху из руку непријатеља њихових.
28 But after they had rested, they turned back, so that they did evil in your sight. And you abandoned them to the hand of their enemies, and they possessed them. And they converted, and they cried out to you. And from heaven you heeded them, and you freed them many times, by your mercies.
Али чим отпочинуше, опет чинише зло пред Тобом, зато си их остављао у рукама непријатеља њихових да владају њима; а кад се обраћаше и викаше к Теби, Ти си их услишио с неба и избављао их по милости својој много пута.
29 And you contended with them, so that they might return to your law. Yet truly, they acted in arrogance, and they did not listen to your commandments, and they sinned against your judgments, which, if a man does them, he shall live by them. And they withdrew from offering their shoulder, and they hardened their neck; neither would they listen.
И опомињао си их да би их обратио к закону свом, али они беху обесни и не слушаше заповести Твоје и грешише о Твоје законе које ко врши жив ће бити кроз њих; и измичући рамена своја отврднуше вратом својим и не слушаше.
30 And you continued to forbear them for many years. And you contended with them by your Spirit, through the hand of your prophets. And they did not listen, and so you delivered them into the hand of the peoples of the lands.
И трпео си их много година опомињући их духом својим преко пророка својих; али не слушаше; тада си их дао у руке народима земаљским.
31 Yet in your very many mercies, you did not cause them to be consumed, nor did you abandon them. For you are a compassionate and lenient God.
Али ради милости своје велике ниси дао да сасвим пропадну нити си их оставио, јер си Бог милостив и жалостив.
32 Now therefore, our great God, strong and terrible, who keeps covenant and mercy, may you not avert your face from all the hardship that has found us, we and our kings, and our leaders, and our priests, and our prophets, and our fathers, and all the people, from the days of king Assur, even to this day.
Сада дакле, Боже наш, Боже велики, силни и страшни, који чуваш завет и милост, немој да је мало пред Тобом што нас снађе сва ова мука, цареве наше, кнезове и свештенике наше и пророке наше и оце наше и сав народ Твој од времена царева асирских до данас.
33 For you are just, concerning all things that have overwhelmed us. For you have done truth, but we have acted impiously.
Ти си праведан у свему што нас је снашло, јер си Ти право учинио, а ми смо безбожно радили.
34 Our kings, our leaders, our priests, and our fathers have not done your law, and they have not been attentive to your commandments and your testimonies, to which you have testified among them.
И цареви наши, кнезови наши и оци наши не извршаваше закон Твој нити марише за заповести Твоје и сведочанства Твоја, којима си им сведочио.
35 And they have not served you, in their kingdoms and with your many good things, which you gave to them, and in the very wide and fat land, which you delivered into their sight, nor did they return from their most wicked pursuits.
Јер у царству свом и у великом добру Твом које си им чинио, и у земљи пространој и родној коју си им дао, не служише Теби нити се повратише од злих дела својих.
36 Behold, we ourselves this day are servants. And the land, which you gave to our fathers so that they might eat its bread and have its good things, we ourselves are servants within it.
Ево, ми смо данас робови; и још у земљи, коју си дао оцима нашим да једу род њен и добра њена, ево ми смо робови у њој.
37 And its fruits are multiplied for the kings, whom you have set over us because of our sins. And they rule over our bodies, and over our cattle, according to their will. And we are in great tribulation.
И она род свој обилати рађа царевима које си поставио над нама за грехе наше, и који господаре над нашим телима и над стоком нашом по својој вољи, те смо у великој тескоби.
38 Therefore, concerning all of these things, we ourselves are forming and writing a covenant, and our leaders, our Levites, and our priests are signing it.”
А ради свега тога чинимо тврд завет и пишемо, а кнезови наши, Левити наши, свештеници наши печате.
