Nehemiah 9
1 Now in the twenty and fourth day of this month the children of Israel were assembled with fasting, and with sackcloths, and earth on them.
Потом двадесет четвртог дана тог месеца скупише се синови Израиљеви постећи и у кострети и посувши се земљом.
2 And the seed of Israel separated themselves from all strangers, and stood and 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 stood up in their place, and read in the book of the law of the LORD their God one fourth part of the day; and another fourth part they confessed, and worshipped 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 stood up on the stairs, of the Levites, Jeshua, and Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani, and cried with a loud 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 Then the Levites, Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabniah, Sherebiah, Hodijah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah, said, Stand up and bless the LORD your God for ever and ever: and blessed be your glorious name, which is exalted above 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, even you, are LORD alone; you have made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all things that are therein, the seas, and all that is therein, and you preserve them all; and the host of heaven worships 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 are the LORD the God, who did choose Abram, and brought him forth out of Ur of the Chaldees, and gave him the name of Abraham;
Ти си Господ Бог, који си изабрао Аврама и извео из Ура халдејског и надео му име Авраам;
8 And found his heart faithful before you, and made a covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Jebusites, and the Girgashites, to give it, I say, to his seed, and have performed your words; for you are righteous:
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 did see the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and heard their cry by the Red sea;
Јер си погледао на муку отаца наших у Мисиру, и вику њихову видео си на мору црвеном;
10 And showed signs and wonders on Pharaoh, and on all his servants, and on all the people of his land: for you knew that they dealt proudly against them. So did you get you a name, as it is 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 did divide the sea before them, so that they went through the middle of the sea on the dry land; and their persecutors you threw into the deeps, as a stone into the mighty 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 Moreover you led them in the day by a cloudy pillar; and in the night by a pillar of fire, to give them light in the way wherein they should go.
И у ступу од облака водио си их дању, а ноћу у ступу огњеном светлећи им путем којим ће ићи.
13 You came down also on mount Sinai, and spoke with them from heaven, and gave them right judgments, and true laws, good statutes and commandments:
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 And made known to them your holy sabbath, and commanded them precepts, statutes, and laws, 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 And gave them bread from heaven for their hunger, and brought forth water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and promised them that they should go in to possess the land which you had sworn to give 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 But they and our fathers dealt proudly, and hardened their necks, and listened not to your commandments,
Али они и оци наши узобестише се и отврднуше вратом својим и не слушаше заповести Твоје.
17 And refused to obey, neither were mindful of your wonders that you did among them; but hardened their necks, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage: but you are a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and forsook them not.
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 Yes, when they had made them a molten calf, and said, This is your God that brought you up out of Egypt, and had worked great provocations;
И онда кад начинише себи теле ливено и рекоше: Ово је твој Бог који те је извео из Мисира, и хулише веома,
19 Yet you in your manifold mercies forsook them not in the wilderness: the pillar of the cloud departed not from them by day, to lead them in the way; neither the pillar of fire by night, to show them light, and the way wherein they should go.
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 You gave also your good spirit to instruct them, and withheld not your manna from their mouth, and gave them water for 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 Yes, forty years did you sustain them in the wilderness, so that they lacked nothing; their clothes waxed not old, and their feet swelled not.
И четрдесет година хранио си их у пустињи, ништа им није недостајало: одело им не оветша и ноге им не отекоше.
22 Moreover you gave them kingdoms and nations, and did divide them into corners: so they possessed the land of Sihon, and the land of the king of Heshbon, and the land of Og 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 Their children also multiplied you as the stars of heaven, and brought them into the land, concerning which you had promised to their fathers, that they should go in to 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 So the children went in and possessed the land, and you subdued before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, and gave them into their hands, with their kings, and the people of the land, that they might do with them as they would.
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 they took strong cities, and a fat land, and possessed houses full of all goods, wells dig, vineyards, and olive groves, and fruit trees in abundance: so they did eat, and were filled, and became fat, and delighted themselves in 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 Nevertheless they were disobedient, and rebelled against you, and cast your law behind their backs, and slew your prophets which testified against them to turn them to you, and they worked great provocations.
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 Therefore you delivered them into the hand of their enemies, who vexed them: and in the time of their trouble, when they cried to you, you heard them from heaven; and according to your manifold mercies you gave them saviors, who saved them out of 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 rest, they did evil again before you: therefore left you them in the land of their enemies, so that they had the dominion over them: yet when they returned, and cried to you, you heard them from heaven; and many times did you deliver them according to 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 testified against them, that you might bring them again to your law: yet they dealt proudly, and listened not to your commandments, but sinned against your judgments, (which if a man do, he shall live in them; ) and withdrew the shoulder, and hardened their neck, and would not hear.
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 Yet many years did you forbear them, and testified against them by your spirit in your prophets: yet would they not give ear: therefore gave you them into the hand of the people 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 Nevertheless for your great mercies’ sake you did not utterly consume them, nor forsake them; for you are a gracious and merciful 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 God, the great, the mighty, and the terrible God, who keep covenant and mercy, let not all the trouble seem little before you, that has come on us, on our kings, on our princes, and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our fathers, and on all your people, since the time of the kings of Assyria 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 However, you are just in all that is brought on us; for you have done right, but we have done wickedly:
Ти си праведан у свему што нас је снашло, јер си Ти право учинио, а ми смо безбожно радили.
34 Neither have our kings, our princes, our priests, nor our fathers, kept your law, nor listened to your commandments and your testimonies, with which you did testify against 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 For they have not served you in their kingdom, and in your great goodness that you gave them, and in the large and fat land which you gave before them, neither turned they from their wicked works.
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 are servants this day, and for the land that you gave to our fathers to eat the fruit thereof and the good thereof, behold, we are servants in 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 it yields much increase to the kings whom you have set over us because of our sins: also they have dominion over our bodies, and over our cattle, at their pleasure, and we are in great distress.
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 And because of all this we make a sure covenant, and write it; and our princes, Levites, and priests, seal to it.
А ради свега тога чинимо тврд завет и пишемо, а кнезови наши, Левити наши, свештеници наши печате.
