Nehemiah 9
1 Now in the twenty-fourth day of this month the children of Israel were assembled with fasting, with sackcloth, and dirt on them.
Потом двадесет четвртог дана тог месеца скупише се синови Израиљеви постећи и у кострети и посувши се земљом.
2 The offspring of Israel separated themselves from all foreigners 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 They stood up in their place, and read in the book of the law of Yahweh their God a fourth part of the day; and a fourth part they confessed and worshiped Yahweh 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 Jeshua, Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani of the Levites stood up on the stairs, and cried with a loud voice to Yahweh 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, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah, said, “Stand up and bless Yahweh your God from everlasting to everlasting! 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 are Yahweh, even you alone. You have made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their army, the earth and all things that are on it, the seas and all that is in them, and you preserve them all. The army 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 Yahweh, the God who chose Abram, brought him out of Ur of the Chaldees, 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 found his heart faithful before you, and made a covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Jebusite, and the Girgashite, to give it to his offspring, 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 “You saw 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 against Pharaoh, against all his servants, and against all the people of his land, for you knew that they dealt proudly against them, and made a name for yourself, as it is today.
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 You divided the sea before them, so that they went through the middle of the sea on the dry land; and you cast their pursuers into the depths, 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, in a pillar of cloud you led them by day; and in a pillar of fire by night, to give them light in the way in which 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 also came down on Mount Sinai, and spoke with them from heaven, and gave them right ordinances 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 commandments, statutes, and a law, by 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 the sky for their hunger, and brought water out of the rock for them for their thirst, and commanded 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 behaved proudly, hardened their neck, didn’t listen to your commandments,
Али они и оци наши узобестише се и отврднуше вратом својим и не слушаше заповести Твоје.
17 and refused to obey. They weren’t mindful of your wonders that you did among them, but hardened their neck, 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 abundant in loving kindness, and didn’t forsake 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 Yes, when they had made themselves a molded calf, and said, ‘This is your God who brought you up out of Egypt,’ and had committed awful blasphemies,
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 didn’t forsake them in the wilderness. The pillar of cloud didn’t depart from over them by day, to lead them in the way; neither did the pillar of fire by night, to show them light, and the way in which 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 didn’t withhold 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 you sustained them in the wilderness. They lacked nothing. Their clothes didn’t grow old, and their feet didn’t swell.
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 peoples, which you allotted according to their portions. So they possessed the land of Sihon, even 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 You also multiplied their children as the stars of the sky, and brought them into the land concerning which you said 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 peoples of the land, that they might do with them as they pleased.
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 They took fortified cities and a rich land, and possessed houses full of all good things, cisterns dug out, vineyards, olive groves, and fruit trees in abundance. So they ate, were filled, 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, cast your law behind their back, killed your prophets that testified against them to turn them again to you, and they committed awful 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 Therefore you delivered them into the hand of their adversaries, who distressed them. In the time of their trouble, when they cried to you, you heard from heaven; and according to your manifold mercies you gave them saviors who saved them out of the hands of their adversaries.
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 you left them in the hands of their enemies, so that they had the dominion over them; yet when they returned and cried to you, you heard from heaven; and many times you delivered 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 were arrogant, and didn’t listen to your commandments, but sinned against your ordinances (which if a man does, he shall live in them), turned their backs, stiffened 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 you put up with them, and testified against them by your Spirit through your prophets. Yet they would not listen. Therefore you gave 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 “Nevertheless in your manifold mercies you didn’t make a full end of 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 awesome God, who keeps covenant and loving kindness, don’t let all the travail seem little before you that has come on us, on our kings, on our princes, on our priests, on our prophets, 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 has come on us; for you have dealt truly, 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 Also our kings, our princes, our priests, and our fathers have not kept your law, nor listened to your commandments and your testimonies with which you testified 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 rich land which you gave before them. They didn’t turn 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 today, and as for the land that you gave to our fathers to eat its fruit and its good, 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 It yields much increase to the kings whom you have set over us because of our sins. Also they have power over our bodies and over our livestock, 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 Yet for all this, we make a sure covenant, and write it; and our princes, our Levites, and our priests, seal it.”
А ради свега тога чинимо тврд завет и пишемо, а кнезови наши, Левити наши, свештеници наши печате.
