Nehemiah 9
1 Now on the twenty-fourth day of this month the children of Israel assembled with fasting, and in sackcloths, and with ashes on their head.
Potom dvadeset èetvrtoga dana toga mjeseca skupiše se sinovi Izrailjevi posteæi i u kostrijeti i posuvši se zemljom.
2 And the children of Israel separated themselves from every stranger, and stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers.
I odvoji se sjeme Izrailjevo od svijeh tuðinaca, i stadoše te ispovijedahu grijehe svoje i bezakonja otaca svojih.
3 And they stood in their place, and read in the book of the law of the Lord their god: and they confessed [their sins] to the Lord, and worshipped the Lord their God.
I stajahu na svom mjestu, te im se èitaše zakon Gospoda Boga njihova èetvrt dana, a drugu èetvrt ispovijedahu se i poklanjahu se Gospodu Bogu svojemu.
4 [And] there stood upon the stairs, of the Levites, Jesus, and the sons of Cadmiel, Sechenia the son of Sarabia, sons of Choneni; and they cried with a loud voice to the Lord their God.
A Isus i Vanije, Kadmilo, Sevanija, Vunije, Serevija, Vanije i Hananije popevši se na mjesto podignuto za Levite vapijahu glasom velikim ka Gospodu Bogu svojemu.
5 And the Levites, Jesus and Cadmiel, said, Rise up, bless the Lord our God forever and ever: and let them bless your glorious name, and exalt it with all blessing and praise.
I rekoše Leviti Isus i Kadmilo, Vanije, Asavnija, Serevija, Odija, Sevanija i Petaja: ustanite, blagosiljajte Gospoda Boga svojega od vijeka do vijeka; i da se blagosilja ime tvoje slavno i uzvišeno svrh svakoga blagoslova i hvale.
6 And Esdras said, You are the only true Lord; you made the heaven, and the heaven of heavens, and all their array, the earth, and all things that are in it, the seas, and all things in them; and you quicken all things, and the hosts of heaven worship you.
Ti si sam Gospod; ti si stvorio nebo, nebesa nad nebesima i svu vojsku njihovu, zemlju i sve što je na njoj, mora i sve što je u njima, i ti oživljavaš sve to, i vojska nebeska tebi se klanja.
7 You are the Lord God, you did choose Abram, and brought him out of the land of the Chaldeans, and gave him the name of Abraam:
Ti si Gospod Bog, koji si izabrao Avrama i izveo iz Ura Haldejskoga i nadio mu ime Avraam;
8 and you found his heart faithful before you, and did make a covenant with him to give to him and to his seed the land of the Chananites, and the Chettites, and Amorites, and Pherezites, and Jebusites, and Gergesites; and you have confirmed your words, for you [are] righteous.
I našao si srce njegovo vjerno pred sobom, i uèinio si s njim zavjet da æeš dati zemlju Hanansku, Hetejsku, Amorejsku, Ferezejsku i Jevusejsku i Gergesejsku, da æeš dati sjemenu njegovu, i ispunio si rijeèi svoje, jer si pravedan.
9 And you saw the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and you heard their cry at the Red Sea.
Jer si pogledao na muku otaca naših u Misiru, i viku njihovu èuo si na Moru Crvenom;
10 And you showed signs and wonders in Egypt, on Pharao and all his servants, and on all the people of his land: for you know that they behaved insolently against them: and you made yourself a name, as at this day.
I uèinio si znake i èudesa na Faraonu i na svijem slugama njegovijem i na svem narodu zemlje njegove, jer si znao da su obijesno postupali s njima; i stekao si sebi ime, kao što se vidi danas.
11 And you did cleave the sea before them, and they passed through the midst of the sea on dry land; and you did cast into the deep them that were about to pursue them, as a stone in the mighty water.
I more si razdvojio pred njima, te prijeðoše posred mora suhim, i bacio si u dubine one koji ih gnahu kao kamen u vodu.
12 And you guided them by day by a pillar of cloud, and by night by a pillar of fire, to enlighten for them the way wherein they should walk.
I u stupu od oblaka vodio si ih danju a noæu u stupu ognjenom svijetleæi im putem kojim æe iæi.
13 Also you came down upon mount Sina, and you spoke to them out of heaven, and gave them right judgments, and laws of truth, ordinances, and good commandments.
I sišao si na goru Sinajsku i govorio s njima s neba, i dao im sudove prave i zakone istinite, uredbe i zapovijesti dobre.
14 And you did make known to them your holy sabbath; you did enjoin upon them commandments, and ordinances, and a law, by the hand of your servant Moses.
I obznanio si im subotu svoju svetu, i dao im zapovijesti i uredbe i zakon preko Mojsija sluge svojega.
15 And you gave them bread from heaven for their food, and you brought them forth water from a rock for their thirst; and you bade them go in to inherit the land over which you stretched out your hand to give [it] them.
I hljeb s neba dao si im u gladi njihovoj, i vodu iz kamena izveo si im u žeði njihovoj, i rekao si im da idu i naslijede zemlju za koju si podigao ruku svoju da æeš im je dati.
16 But they and our fathers behaved proudly, and hardened their neck, and did not listen to your commandments,
Ali oni i oci naši uzobijestiše se i otvrdnuše vratom svojim i ne slušaše zapovijesti tvojih.
17 and refused to listen, and remembered not your wonders which you wrought with them; and they hardened their neck, and appointed a leader to return to their slavery in Egypt: but you, O God, [are] merciful and compassionate, longsuffering, and abundant in mercy, and you did not forsake them.
Ne htješe slušati, i ne opominjaše se èudesa tvojih koja si im èinio, nego otvrdnuše vratom svojim, i u odmetu svom postavljaše sebi voða da se vrate u ropstvo svoje. Ali ti, Bože, koji opraštaš, koji si žalostiv i milostiv, koji dugo trpiš i velike si milosti, nijesi ih ostavio.
18 And still farther they even made to themselves a molten calf, and said, These [are] the gods that brought us up out of Egypt: and they wrought great provocations.
I onda kad naèiniše sebi tele liveno i rekoše: ovo je tvoj Bog koji te je izveo iz Misira, i huliše veoma,
19 Yet you in your great compassions did not forsake them in the wilderness: you did not turn away from them the pillar of the cloud by day, to guide them in the way, nor the pillar of fire by night, to enlighten for them the way wherein they should walk.
Ni onda ih radi velike milosti svoje nijesi ostavio u pustinji; stup od oblaka nije otstupao od njih danju vodeæi ih putem, niti stup ognjeni noæu svijetleæi im putem kojim æe iæi.
20 And you gave your good Spirit to instruct them, and you did not withhold your manna from their mouth, and gave them water in their thirst.
I dao si im dobri svoj duh da ih urazumljuje, i mane svoje nijesi ustegao od usta njihovijeh, i vode si im dao u žeði njihovoj.
21 And you did sustain them forty years in the wilderness; you did not allow anything to fail them: their garments did not wax old, and their feet were not bruised.
I èetrdeset godina hranio si ih u pustinji, ništa im nije nedostajalo: odijelo im ne ovetša i noge im ne otekoše.
22 Moreover, you gave them kingdoms, and did divide nations to them: and they inherited the land of Seon king of Esebon, and the land of Og king of Basan.
I dao si im carstva i narode, i podijelio si ih po krajevima, jer naslijediše zemlju Sionovu, zemlju cara Esevonskoga, i zemlju cara Vasanskoga;
23 And you did multiply their children as the stars of heaven, and brought them into the land of which you spoke to their fathers;
I umnožio si sinove njihove kao zvijezde nebeske, i uveo si ih u zemlju za koju si rekao ocima njihovijem da æe uæi u nju i naslijediti je.
24 And they inherited it: and you did destroy from before them the dwellers in the land of the Chananites, and you gave into their hands them and their kings, and the nations of the land, to do to them as it pleased them.
I uðoše sinovi njihovi i naslijediše zemlju, i pokorio si im Hananeje stanovnike zemaljske i predao ih u njihove ruke, i careve njihove i narode zemaljske, da èine od njih što im je volja.
25 And they took lofty cities, and inherited houses full of all good things, wells dug, vineyards, and olive yards, and every fruit tree in abundance: so they ate, and were filled, and grew fat, and rioted in your great goodness.
I tako uzeše tvrde gradove i zemlju rodnu, i naslijediše kuæe pune svakoga dobra, studence iskopane, vinograde, maslinike i voæke mnoge, i jedoše i nasitiše se i ugojiše se, i blagovahu po velikoj tvojoj dobroti.
26 But they turned, and revolted from you, and cast your law behind their backs; and they killed your prophets, who testified against them to turn them back to you, and they wrought great provocations.
Ali te razgnjeviše i odmetnuše se tebe: baciše zakon tvoj za leða i proroke tvoje pobiše, koji im svjedoèahu da bi ih obratili k tebi, i huliše veoma.
27 Then you gave them into the hand of them that afflicted them, and they did afflict them: and they cried to you in the time of their affliction, and you did hear them from your heaven, and in your great compassions gave them deliverers, and did save them from the hand of them that afflicted them.
Zato si ih davao u ruke neprijateljima njihovijem koji ih muèiše. A kad u nevolji svojoj vikaše k tebi, ti si ih uslišio s neba i po velikoj milosti svojoj davao si im izbavitelje, koji ih izbavljaše iz ruku neprijatelja njihovijeh.
28 But when they rested, they did evil again before you: so you left them in the hands of their enemies, and they ruled over them: and they cried again to you, and you heard [them] from heaven, and did deliver them in your great compassions.
Ali èim otpoèinuše, opet èiniše zlo pred tobom, zato si ih ostavljao u ruku neprijatelja njihovijeh da vladaju njima; a kad se obraæaše i vikaše k tebi, ti si ih uslišio s neba i izbavljao ih po milosti svojoj mnogo puta.
29 And you did testify against them, to bring them back to your law: but they listened not, but sinned against your commandments and your judgments, which if a man do, he shall live in them; and they turned their back, and hardened their neck, and heard not.
I opominjao si ih da bi ih obratio k zakonu svojemu, ali oni bijahu obijesni i ne slušaše zapovijesti tvojih i griješiše o tvoje zakone, koje ko vrši živ æe biti kroz njih; i izmièuæi ramena svoja otvrdnuše vratom svojim i ne slušaše.
30 Yet you did bear long with them many years, and did testify to them by your Spirit by the hand of your prophets: but they listened not; so you gave them into the hand of the nations of the land.
I trpio si ih mnogo godina opominjuæi ih duhom svojim preko proroka svojih; ali ne slušaše; tada si ih dao u ruke narodima zemaljskim.
31 But you in your many mercies did not appoint them to destruction, and did not forsake them; for you are strong, and merciful, and pitiful.
Ali radi milosti svoje velike nijesi dao da sasvijem propadnu niti si ih ostavio, jer si Bog milostiv i žalostiv.
32 And now, O our God, the powerful, the great, the mighty, and the terrible, keeping your covenant and your mercy, let not all the trouble seem little in your sight which has come upon us, and our kings, and our princes, and our priests, and our prophets, and our fathers, and upon all your people, from the days of the kings of Assur even to this day.
Sada dakle, Bože naš, Bože veliki, silni i strašni, koji èuvaš zavjet i milost, nemoj da je malo pred tobom što nas snaðe sva ova muka, careve naše, knezove i sveštenike naše i proroke naše i oce naše i sav narod tvoj od vremena careva Asirskih do danas.
33 But you [are] righteous in all the things that come upon us; for you have wrought faithfully, but we have greatly sinned.
Ti si pravedan u svemu što nas je snašlo, jer si ti pravo uèinio a mi smo bezbožno radili.
34 And our kings, and our princes, and our priests, and our fathers, have not performed your law, and have not given heed to your commandments, and [have not kept] your testimonies which you did testify to them.
I carevi naši, knezovi naši i oci naši ne izvršivaše zakona tvojega niti mariše za zapovijesti tvoje i svjedoèanstva tvoja, kojima si im svjedoèio.
35 And they did not serve you in your kingdom, and in your great goodness which you gave to them, and in the large and fat land which you did furnish before them, and they turned not from their evil devices.
Jer u carstvu svom i u velikom dobru tvom koje si im èinio, i u zemlji prostranoj i rodnoj koju si im dao, ne služiše tebi niti se povratiše od zlijeh djela svojih.
36 Behold, we are servants this day, and [as for] the land which you gave to our fathers to eat the fruit of it and the good things of it, behold, we are servants upon it:
Evo, mi smo danas robovi; i još u zemlji, koju si dao ocima našim da jedu rod njezin i dobra njezina, evo mi smo robovi u njoj.
37 and its produce [is] abundant for the kings whom you did appoint over us because of our sins; and they have dominion over our bodies, and over our cattle, as it pleases them, and we are in great affliction.
I ona rod svoj obilati raða carevima koje si postavio nad nama za grijehe naše, i koji gospodare nad našim tjelesima i nad stokom našom po svojoj volji, te smo u velikoj tjeskobi.
38 And in regard to all these circumstances we make a covenant, and write [it], and our princes, our Levites, [and] our priests, set their seal to [it].
A radi svega toga èinimo tvrd zavjet i pišemo, a knezovi naši, Leviti naši, sveštenici naši peèate.
