Ezra 10

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	Biblija Hrvatski
1 While Ezra prayed and acknowledged their guilt, weeping and prostrate before the house of God, a very large assembly of Israelites gathered about him, men, women, and children; and the people wept profusely.	1 Dok je Ezra molio i priznavao grijehe, plačući i ležeći pred domom Božjim, skupilo se oko njega mnoštvo Izraelaca, ljudi, žena i djece: i taj je narod gorko plakao.
2 Then Shecaniah, the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, made this appeal to Ezra: "We have indeed betrayed our God by taking as wives foreign women of the peoples of the land. Yet even now there remains a hope for Israel.	2 Tada Šekanija, sin Jehielov, jedan od sinova Elamovih, uzimajući riječ reče Ezri: »Mi smo izdali Boga svoga ženeći se tuđinkama iz naroda zemlje. Ali još ima nade Izraelu.
3 Let us therefore enter into a covenant before our God to dismiss all our foreign wives and the children born of them, in keeping with what you, my lord, advise, and those who fear the commandments of our God. Let the law be observed!	3 Obnovimo sada Savez s Bogom svojim: obećajmo da ćemo, prema savjetu moga gospodara i onih koji osjećaju strahopočitanje prema zapovijedi Boga našega, otpustiti svoje žene tuđinke i djecu koju su rodile. Učinimo, dakle, po Zakonu!
4 Rise, then, for this is your duty! We will stand by you, so have courage and take action!"	4 Ustani, jer to je tvoja dužnost, a mi ćemo biti uza te. Budi hrabar i na djelo!«
5 Ezra rose to his feet and demanded an oath from the chiefs of the priests, from the Levites and from all Israel that they would do as had been proposed; and they swore it.	5 Tada ustade Ezra i zakle glavare svećeničke, i levite, i sve Izraelce da će učiniti kako im bijaše rekao. I zakleše se.
6 Then Ezra retired from his place before the house of God and entered the chamber of Johanan, son of Eliashib, where he spent the night neither eating food nor drinking water, for he was in mourning over the betrayal by the exiles.	6 Ezra se udalji ispred doma Božjega i uđe u dvoranu Johanana, sina Elijašibova. Ondje provede noć i nije jeo ni kruha niti je pio vode jer tugovaše zbog nevjernosti povratnika.
7 A proclamation was made throughout Judah and Jerusalem that all the exiles should gather together in Jerusalem,	7 Zatim je objavljeno u Judeji i Jeruzalemu svim povratnicima da se skupe u Jeruzalemu:
8 and that whoever failed to appear within three days would, according to the judgment of the leaders and elders, suffer the confiscation of all his possessions, and himself be excluded from the assembly of the exiles.	8 a tko ne bude došao u Jeruzalem za tri dana, toga će pozvati glavari i starješine, bit će mu zaplijenjeno imanje i isključit će ga iz zbora povratnika.
9 All the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered together in Jerusalem within the three-day period: it was in the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month. All the people, standing in the open place before the house of God, were trembling both over the matter at hand and because it was raining.	9 Svi su se ljudi od Jude i Benjamina sakupili tako za tri dana u Jeruzalemu. Bilo je to devetoga mjeseca, dvadesetoga dana u mjesecu. Sav se narod smjestio na trgu pred domom Božjim, dršćući zbog svega toga i zbog jake kiše.
10 Then Ezra, the priest, stood up and said to them: "Your unfaithfulness in taking foreign women as wives has added to Israel's guilt.	10 Tada, ustavši, svećenik Ezra reče im: »Vi ste se iznevjerili kad ste se oženili tuđinkama. Tako ste povećali grijeh Izraelov!
11 But now, give praise to the LORD, the God of your fathers, and do his will: separate yourselves from the peoples of the land and from these foreign women."	11 Ali podajte sada hvalu Jahvi, Bogu otaca svojih, i izvršite volju njegovu te se rastavite od naroda zemlje i od žena tuđinki.«
12 In answer, the whole assembly cried out with a loud voice: "Yes, it is our duty to do as you say!	12 Sav je zbor odgovorio snažnim glasom: »Jest, dužnost nam je učiniti po tvome savjetu!
13 But the people are numerous and it is the rainy season, so that we cannot remain out-of-doors; besides, this is not a task that can be performed in a single day or even two, for those of us who have sinned in this regard are many.	13 Ali naroda ima mnogo i dažd nahodi: vani se ne može stajati. Osim toga, nije to posao od dan-dva, jer nas je mnogo koji smo u tome sagriješili.
14 Let our leaders represent the whole assembly; then let all those in our cities who have taken foreign women for wives appear at appointed times, accompanied by the elders and magistrates of each city in question, till we have turned away from us our God's burning anger over this affair."	14 Mogu nas na zajedničkom zboru zastupati naši glavari: svi koji su po našim gradovima oženjeni tuđinkama mogu doći u određeno vrijeme u pratnji starješina i sudaca svakoga grada, sve dok ne budemo odvratili gnjev Boga svojega zbog ovoga.«
15 Only Jonathan, son of Asahel, and Jahzeiah, son of Tikvah, were against this proposal, with Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite supporting them.	15 Samo Jonatan, sin Asahelov, i Jahzija, sin Tikvin, bijahu se usprotivili; a podupirahu ih Mešulam i levit Šabetaj.
16 The exiles did as agreed. Ezra appointed as his assistants men who were family heads, one for each family, all of them designated by name. They held sessions to examine the matter, beginning with the first day of the tenth month.	16 Povratnici učiniše tako: rastaše se. Svećenik Ezra izabra za pomoćnike glavare obitelji, prema njihovim domovima, i svi su bili poimence određeni. Počeli su zasjedati prvoga dana desetoga mjeseca da bi sve ispitali.
17 By the first day of the first month they had passed judgment on all the men who had taken foreign women for wives.	17 I prvoga dana prvoga mjeseca završiše sa svima koji se bijahu oženili tuđinkama.
18 Among the priests, the following were found to have taken foreign women for wives: Of the sons of Jeshua, son of Jozadak, and his brethren: Maaseiah, Eliezer, Jarib, and Gedaliah.	18 Među pripadnicima svećenstva evo koji bijahu oženjeni tuđinkama: između sinova Ješue, sina Josadakova, i među njegovom braćom: Maaseja, Eliezer, Jarib i Gedalija;
19 They pledged themselves to dismiss their wives, and as a guilt-offering for their guilt they gave a ram from the flock.	19 oni dadoše svoju ruku da će otpustiti svoje žene i da će za svoj grijeh prinijeti ovna kao naknadnicu.
