Ezra 3

Biblija Hrvatski	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Kad je došao sedmi mjesec – sinovi su Izraelovi bili već u svojim gradovima – sabrao se sav narod kao jedan čovjek u Jeruzalemu.	1 Now when the seventh month came, after the Israelites had settled in their cities, the people gathered at Jerusalem as one man.
2 Tada Ješua, sin Josadakov, sa svojom braćom svećenicima, i Zerubabel, sin Šealtielov, sa svojom braćom, počeše graditi žrtvenik Bogu Izraelovu da bi prinosili paljenice, kako je pisano u Zakonu Mojsija, čovjeka Božjeg.	2 Then Jeshua, son of Jozadak, together with his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, together with his brethren, set about rebuilding the altar of the God of Israel in order to offer on it the holocausts prescribed in the law of Moses, the man of God.
3 I podigoše žrtvenik na starome mjestu – iako su bili u strahu od naroda u zemlji – i prinosili su paljenice Jahvi, paljenice jutarnje i večernje;	3 Despite their fear of the peoples of the land, they replaced the altar on its foundations and offered holocausts to the LORD on it, both morning and evening.
4 i slavili su Blagdan sjenica, kako je pisano: prinosili su svakodnevno broj paljenica propisan za svaki dan.	4 They also kept the feast of Booths in the manner prescribed, and they offered the daily holocausts in the proper number required for each day.
5 Osim toga prinosili su svakidašnje paljenice, zatim žrtve određene za mlađak i za sve blagdane Jahvine i za sve one koji su htjeli dragovoljno žrtvovati Jahvi.	5 Thereafter they offered the established holocaust, the sacrifices prescribed for the new moons and all the festivals sacred to the LORD, and those which anyone might offer as a free-will gift to the LORD.
6 Od prvoga dana u sedmom mjesecu počeli su prinositi Jahvi žrtve paljenice, premda još nisu bili položeni temelji svetišta Jahvina.	6 From the first day of the seventh month they began to offer holocausts to the LORD, though the foundation of the temple of the LORD had not yet been laid.
7 I dadoše novac kamenarima i drvodjelcima; Sidoncima i Tircima poslaše hranu i piće i ulje da dovezu drva cedrova s Libanona do Jafe po dopuštenju perzijskoga kralja Kira.	7 Then they hired stonecutters and carpenters, and sent food and drink and oil to the Sidonians and Tyrians that they might ship cedar trees from the Lebanon to the port of Joppa, as Cyrus, king of Persia, had authorized.
8 A druge godine poslije njihova dolaska k domu Božjemu u Jeruzalemu, drugoga mjeseca kako su Zerubabel, sin Šealtielov, i Ješua, sin Josadakov, s ostalom svojom braćom svećenicima, levitima i sa svim narodom koji se iz ropstva vratio u Jeruzalem počeli graditi, postavili su levite od dvadeset godina naviše da upravljaju poslovima oko doma Jahvina.	8 In the year after their coming to the house of God in Jerusalem, in the second month, Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua, son of Jozadak, together with the rest of their brethren, the priests and Levites and all who had come from the captivity to Jerusalem, began by appointing the Levites twenty years of age and over to supervise the work on the house of the LORD.
9 Ješua, njegovi sinovi i braća njegova Kadmiel, Binuj i Hodavja bijahu postavljeni da kao jedan upravljaju poslenicima na gradnji doma Božjega.	9 Jeshua and his sons and brethren, with Kadmiel and Binnui, son of Henadad, and their sons and their brethren, the Levites, stood as one man to supervise those who were engaged in the work on the house of God.
10 Kad su zidari bili postavili temelje svetišta Jahvina, postavili su se svećenici u svečanim odjećama, s trubama, a tako i leviti, sinovi Asafovi, s cimbalima da slave Jahvu prema odredbama Davida, kralja Izraelova.	10 When the builders had laid the foundation of the LORD'S temple, the vested priests with the trumpets and the Levites, sons of Asaph, were stationed there with the cymbals to praise the LORD in the manner laid down by David, king of Israel.
11 I pjevahu Jahvi hvalu i slavu: »Jer je dobar, jer je vječna njegova ljubav prema Izraelu.« I sav je narod klicao hvaleći Jahvu, jer je dom Jahvin bio postavljen na svoje temelje.	11 They alternated in songs of praise and thanksgiving to the LORD, "for he is good, for his kindness to Israel endures forever"; and all the people raised a great shout of joy, praising the LORD because the foundation of the LORD'S house had been laid.
12 Zaista, mnogi svećenici, mnogi leviti i glavari obiteljski i starješine, koji su svojim očima vidjeli temelje prijašnjega Hrama, plakahu iza glasa, a mnogi opet snažno klicahu od radosti.	12 Many of the priests, Levites, and family heads, the old men who had seen the former house, cried out in sorrow as they watched the foundation of the present house being laid. Many others, however, lifted up their voices in shouts of joy,
13 I tako nitko nije mogao razlikovati radosno klicanje od plača u narodu; jer je narod glasno klicao i vika se čula vrlo daleko.	13 and no one could distinguish the sound of the joyful shouting from the sound of those who were weeping; for the people raised a mighty clamor which was heard afar off.
