ZAPOVIJEDI BOŒJE BOG JE IZGOVORIO SVE OVE RIJEÇI

ISUS JE IZGOVORIO OVE RIJEÇI

I Ne smijeæ imati drugih bogova uz mene. II Ne smijeæ sebi praviti rezbarena kipa, ni bilo kakve slike od bilo çega æto je gore na nebu, ili dolje na zemlji, ili u vodi pod zemljom. Ne smijeæ im se klanjati niti im sluœti. Jer ja sam Gospodin, tvoj Bog, ja sam ljubomoran Bog, pohaåam zlodjela otaca na djeci do treøega i çetvrtog koljena onih koji me mrze, a milosråe iskazujem tisuøama, koji me ljube i drœe moje zapovijedi. III Ne smijeæ uzimati uzalud Imena Gospodina, svojega Boga, jer Gospodin neøe pustiti bez kazne onoga koji uzima njegovo Ime uzalud. IV Sjeti se Subotnjega dana, drœi ga svetim. Æest dana radi i obavljaj sve svoje poslove, a sedmi dan je Subotnji dan Gospodina, tvojega Boga. Na taj dan ne smijeæ obavljati nikakva posla, ni ti, ni tvoj sin, ni tvoja køi, ni tvoj sluga, ni tvoja sluækinja, ni tvoja stoka, ni doæljak koji boravi kod tebe unutar tvojih vrata. Jer u æest dana Gospodin je stvorio nebesa i zemlju, more i sve æto je u njima, a sedmi dan je otpoçinuo. Zato je Gospodin blagoslovio Subotnji dan i posvetio ga. V Poætuj svojega oca i svoju majku da dugo œiviæ u zemlji koju ti daje Gospodin, tvoj Bog. VI Ne smijeæ ubiti. VII Ne smijeæ çiniti preljuba. VIII Ne smijeæ krasti. IV Ne smijeæ laœno svjedoçiti protiv svojega bliœnjega. X Ne smijeæ poœeljeti kuøe svojega bliœnjega; ne smijeæ poœeljeti œene svojega bliœnjega, ni njegova sluge, ni njegove sluækinje, ni njegova vola, ni njegova magarca, ni igdje iæta æto pripada tvojem bliœnjemu!

Ljubi Gospodina, svojega Boga, svim svojim srcem, svom svojom duæom i svom svojom pameøu. To je prva i najveøa zapovijed. A druga je isto takva: Ljubi svojega bliœnjega kao samoga sebe! O ovima dvjema zapovijedima visi sav Zakon i proroci.

Genesis

Postanak PRVA KNJIGA MOJSIJEVA

THE FIRST BOOK OF MOSES

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. 3 Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light day, and the darkness he called night. So the evening and the morning were the first day. 6 Then God said, “Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.” 7 Thus God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament; and it was so. 8 And God called the firmament Heaven. So the evening and the morning were the second day. 9 Then God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear”; and it was so. 10 And God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters he called Seas. And God saw that it was good. 11 Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth”; and it was so. 12 And the earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields seed according to its kind, and the tree that yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 13 So the evening and the morning were the third day. 14 Then God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years; 15 and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth”; and it was so. 16 Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also. 17 God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth, 18 and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19 So the evening and the morning were the fourth day. 20 Then God said, “Let the waters abound with an abundance of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the face of the firmament of the heavens.” 21 So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters abounded, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22 And God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.” 23 So the evening and the morning were the fifth day. 24 Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind”; and it was so. 25 And God made the beast of the earth according to its kind, cattle according to its kind, and everything that creeps on the earth according to its kind.

Postanak svijeta i ljudskoga roda

U poçetku Bog je stvorio nebesa i zemlju. 2 Zemlja je bila joæ pusta i bez oblika; tama je leœala nad bezdanom i Duh Boœji lebdio je nad vodama. 3 Onda je rekao Bog: “Neka bude svjetlost!” I bila je svjetlost. 4 I vidio je Bog da je svjetlost dobra; i rastavio je Bog svjetlost od tame. 5 Bog je nazvao svjetlost dan, a tamu on je nazvao noø. Tako su veçer i jutro bili prvi dan. 6 Onda je rekao Bog: “Neka bude svod po sredini voda, i tako neka rastavlja vode od voda!” 7 Tako je Bog stvorio svod i rastavio vode æto su bile pod svodom od onih voda æto su bile nad svodom. I bilo je tako. 8 Bog je nazvao svod nebo. Tako su veçer i jutro bili drugi dan. 9 Onda je rekao Bog: “Vode pod nebesima neka se skupe na jedno mjesto, i neka se pokaœe kopno!” I bilo je tako. 10 Bog je nazvao kopno zemlja i skupljenu vodu on je nazvao more. I vidio je Bog da je to dobro. 11 Onda je rekao Bog: “Neka pusti zemlja iz sebe travu, bilje æto nosi sjeme, i plodonosna stabla koja donose plodove po svojoj vrsti, plodove æto u sebi samima donose svoje sjeme na zemlji!” I bilo je tako. 12 Zemlja je pustila iz sebe travu, bilje æto nosi sjeme po svojim vrstama, i stabla æto u sebi samima donose svoje sjeme. I vidio je Bog da je to dobro. 13 Tako su veçer i jutro bili treøi dan. 14 Onda je rekao Bog: “Neka budu svjetlila nebeska na svodu da rastavljaju dan od noøi, te kao znaci neka ona sluœe i pokazuju vremena, dane i godine. 15 Neka svijetle na nebeskom svodu da rasvjetljuju zemlju!” I bilo je tako. 16 Onda je Bog stvorio dva velika nebeska svjetlila: veøe da vlada danom, i manje da vlada noøu, uz to joæ i zvijezde. 17 Bog ih je postavio na nebeskom svodu da rasvjetljuju zemlju, 18 i da vladaju danom i noøu, te da rastavljaju svjetlost od tame. I vidio je Bog da je to dobro. 19 Tako su veçer i jutro bili çetvrti dan. 20 Onda je rekao Bog: “Neka se vode napune i provrve œivim stvorenjima u izobilju, i ptice neka lete iznad zemlje pod nebeskim svodom!” 21 Tako je Bog stvorio velika morska stvorenja i sva œiva biøa æto se miçu, s kojima voda obiluje, po svojim vrstama, i sve krilate ptice po svojim vrstama. I vidio je Bog da je to dobro. 22 Bog ih je blagoslovio rijeçima: “Raåajte se i mnoœite se! Napunite vode u morima, i ptice neka se mnoœe i napune zemlju!” 23 Tako su veçer i jutro bili peti dan. 24 Onda je Bog rekao: “Neka zemlja proizvede œiva biøa svake vrste: stoku, œivotinje æto gmiœu i zvijeri zemaljske, sve po njihovoj vrsti!” I bilo je tako. 25 Tako je Bog stvorio zvijeri zemaljske po njihovoj vrsti, stoku po njezinoj vrsti, i sve æto gmiœe na zemlji po njihovoj vrsti. I vidio je Bog

-6Genesis Postanak God saw that it was good. da je to dobro. 26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, 26 Onda je Bog rekao: “Naçinimo çovjeka na according to Our likeness; let them have dominion svoju sliku i priliku! Neka on vlada nad ribama over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and morskim, nad pticama nebeskim, nad stokom, over the cattle, over all the earth and over every nad svim zvijerima zemaljskim i nad svim æto creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” gmiœe po zemlji!” 27 So God created man in his own image; in the im- 27 Tako je Bog stvorio çovjeka na svoju sliku, age of God he created him; male and female he na sliku Boœju stvorio ga, muæko i œensko stvocreated them. rio ih. 28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, 28 Onda ih je Bog blagoslovio, i Bog im rekao: “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; “Raåajte se i mnoœite se, napunite zemlju i podhave dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds loœite je sebi! Vladajte nad ribama morskim, of the air, and over every living thing that moves on nad pticama nebeskim i nad svakim œivim the earth.” biøem æto se miçe na zemlji!” 29 And God said, “See, I have given you every herb 29 I Bog je rekao: “Eto, predajem vam sve na cithat yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, jeloj zemlji, bilje æto nosi sjeme, i sva stabla s and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall plodovima u kojima je sjeme; neka vam bude be for food. za hranu! 30 Also, to every beast of the earth, to every bird of 30 I sve zeleno bilje dajem za hranu svim zvijethe air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in rima zemaljskim, svim pticama nebeskim i which there is life, I have given every green herb for svemu æto se miçe na zemlji i ima u sebi œivot.” food”; and it was so. I bilo je tako. 31 Then God saw everything that he had made, and 31 Onda je vidio Bog sve æto je stvorio, i zaista indeed it was very good. So the evening and the bilo je veoma dobro. Tako su veçer i jutro bili morning were the sixth day. æesti dan.

Thus the heavens and the earth, and all the host of them, were finished. 2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had done. 3 Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it he rested from all his work which God had created and made. 4 This is the history of the heavens and the earth when they were created. In the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens, 5 before any plant of the field was in the earth and before any herb of the field had grown. For the LORD God had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was no man to till the ground; 6 but a mist went up from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground. 7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being. 8 The LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there he put the man whom he had formed. 9 And out of the ground the LORD God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. 10 Now a river went out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it parted and became four riverheads. 11 The name of the first is Pishon; it is the one which encompasses the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. 12 And the gold of that land is good. Bdellium and the onyx stone are there. 13 The name of the second river is Gihon; it is the one which encompasses the whole land of Cush. 14 The name of the third river is Hiddekel; it is the one which goes toward the east of Assyria. The fourth river is the Euphrates. 15 Then the LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it. 16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” 18 And the LORD God said, “It is not good that man

Dan odmora. Zemaljski raj. Eva

Tako se dovræilo nebo i zemlja i sva njihova vojska. 2 Sedmi dan Bog je dovræio svoje djelo koje je stvorio. On je poçinuo sedmi dan od svih svojih djela koja je stvorio. 3 I blagoslovio je Bog sedmi dan i proglasio ga svetim, jer je taj dan poçinuo od svih svojih djela koja je stvorio i uçinio. 4 To je opis postanja nebesa i zemlje kad su bili stvoreni. U vrijeme kad je Gospodin Bog stvorio zemlju i nebesa, 5 prije nego je na zemlji raslo ikakvo poljsko grmlje i prije nego je na poljima raslo ikakvo bilje. Jer Gospodin Bog nije joæ pustio kiæu na zemlju i nije joæ bilo çovjeka da obraåuje zemlju. 6 No dizala se magla iz zemlje i natapala je svu povræinu tla. 7 Onda je napravio Gospodin Bog çovjeka od zemaljskoga praha i udahnuo mu u nosnice dah œivota. Tako je çovjek postao œivo biøe. 8 Onda je Gospodin Bog daleko na istoku zasadio vrt u Edenu i ondje stavio çovjeka koga je napravio. 9 I dao je Gospodin Bog da niknu iz zemlje svakojaka stabla, ugodna za pogled i dobra za jelo, i stablo œivota usred vrta i stablo spoznanja dobra i zla. 10 A od Edena je izlazila rijeka koja je natapala vrt, i odatle se granala u çetiri izvorne rijeke. 11 Prvoj je ime Piæon; to je ona æto optjeçe cijelom zemljom havilskom, gdje ima zlata. 12 Zlato je ove zemlje izvrsno; a ondje ima i bdelija i kamena oniksa. 13 Druga se rijeka zove Gihon, koja teçe pokraj cijele zemlje Kuæ. 14 Treøa se rijeka zove Hidekel; to je ona æto teçe istoçno od Asirije. Çetvrta je rijeka Eufrat. 15 Tada je Gospodin Bog uzeo çovjeka i stavio ga u edenski vrt da ga obraåuje i uzdrœava. 16 I Gospodin Bog je dao çovjeku ovu zapovijed: “Sa svakoga stabla u vrtu smijeæ jesti, 17 ali sa stabla spoznanja dobra i zla ne smijeæ jesti, jer onoga dana kad s njega jedeæ, sigurno øeæ umrijeti.” 18 Onda je rekao Gospodin Bog: “Nije dobro

And zemlje, pred Adama da vidi kako øe ih nazvati. whatever Adam called each living creature, that was Kako Adam nazove œiva biøa, onako øe im biti ime. its name. 20 So Adam gave names to all cattle, to the birds of 20 Tako je Adam nadjenuo imena svoj stoci, the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam pticama nebeskim i svim œivotinjama u polju. Ali se Adamu nije naæla pomoø njemu sliçna. there was not found a helper comparable to him. 21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall on 21 Zato je Gospodin Bog pustio dubok san na Adam, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and Adama, i dok je on spavao, uzeo mu jedno rebro i mjesto opet ispunio mesom. closed up the flesh in its place. 22 Then the rib which the LORD God had taken from 22 Onda je Gospodin Bog napravio œenu od man he made into a woman, and he brought her to rebra koje je uzeo od çovjeka i doveo ju k çovjeku. the man. 23 And Adam said: “This is now bone of my bones 23 I Adam je rekao: “Ta je napokon kost od and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called woman, mojih kostiju i meso od mojega mesa; ona øe se zvati œena, jer je uzeta od çovjeka.” because she was taken out of Man.” 24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother 24 Stoga øe çovjek ostaviti oca i majku i prionuti and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one za svoju œenu, i bit øe njih dvoje jedno tijelo. 25 Oboje su bili goli, çovjek i njegova œena, i flesh. 25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, nisu se stidjeli jedno drugoga. and were not ashamed.

Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?” 2 And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; 3 but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.’ ” 4 And the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. 5 For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” 6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings. 8 And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden. 9 Then the LORD God called to Adam and said to him, “Where are you?” 10 So he said, “I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself.” 11 And he said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat?” 12 Then the man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.” 13 And the LORD God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” And the woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.” 14 So the LORD God said to the serpent: “Because you have done this, you are cursed more than all cattle, and more than every beast of the field; on your belly you shall go, and you shall eat dust all the days of your life. 15 And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.” 16 To the woman he said: “I will greatly multiply your

Istoçni grijeh

Zmija je bila lukavija od svih zemaljskih œivotinja koja je stvorio Gospodin Bog. Ona je rekla œeni: “Je li uistinu rekao Bog: ‘Ne smijete jesti ni s kojega stabla u vrtu?’ ” 2 Œena je odgovorila zmiji: “Od plodova stabala u vrtu smijemo jesti, 3 samo od plodova stabla koje je u sredini vrta, zapovjedio je Bog: ‘Od toga ne smijete jesti, pa ni dotaknuti ga, da ne umrete.’ ” 4 Zmija je rekla œeni: “Neøete sigurno umrijeti. 5 Jer zna Bog da øe vam se otvoriti oçi çim budete jeli s njega i da øete postati kao Bog i spoznati æto je dobro i zlo.” 6 Tako je œena vidjela kako je plod stabla dobar za jelo i ugodan za pogled, i da je plod stabla poœeljan, jer daje spoznanje. Ona je uzela od njegova ploda i jela, i od njega dala i svojem muœu, koji je bio uz nju, i on je jeo. 7 Onda se obadvoma otvorile oçi i oni su spoznali da su goli; stoga su spleli smokvino liæøe i od njega si napravili pregaçe. 8 Nato su çuli æum koraka Gospodina Boga, koji je hodio po vrtu za dnevnog povjetarca, a Adam i njegova œena su se sakrili, pred Gospodinom Bogom, meåu grmljem u vrtu. 9 Onda je Gospodin Bog zovnuo Adama i rekao mu: “Gdje si?” 10 On je rekao: “Kad sam zaçuo æum tvojih koraka u vrtu, bojao sam se jer sam bio gol, pa sam se sakrio.” 11 A On je rekao: “Tko ti je rekao da si gol? Da nisi moœda jeo sa stabla s kojega sam ti zabranio jesti?” 12 Tada je çovjek rekao: “Œena koju si mi dao da bude sa mnom, dala mi je sa stabla i ja sam jeo.” 13 I Gospodin Bog je rekao œeni: “Zaæto si to uçinila?” Œena je odgovorila: “Zmija me zavela, pa sam jela.” 14 Nato je rekao Gospodin Bog zmiji: “Zato jer si to uçinila, prokleta si meåu svom stokom i svim œivotinjama zemaljskim! Na svojem øeæ trbuhu puzati i prah øeæ jesti sve dane svojega œivota! 15 Neprijateljstvo øu staviti izmeåu tebe i œene, izmeåu tvojega roda i njezina roda. On øe ti zgnjeçiti glavu, a ti øeæ ga raniti u petu.” 16 Œeni je rekao: “Mnoge øu ti muke umnoœiti

Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, and said, “I have gotten a man from the LORD.” 2 Then she bore again, this time his brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. 3 And in the process of time it happened that Cain brought an offering of the fruit of the ground to the LORD. 4 Abel also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of their fat. And the LORD respected Abel and his offering, 5 but he did not respect Cain and his offering. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell. 6 So the LORD said to Cain, “Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen? 7 If you do well, will not your countenance be lifted up? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door; and its desire is for you, but you should rule over it.” 8 Now Cain talked with Abel his brother; And it happened, when they were in the field, that Cain rose against Abel his brother and killed him. 9 Then the LORD said to Cain, “Where is Abel your brother?” And he said, “I do not know. Am I my brother’s keeper?” 10 And he said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground. 11 So now you are cursed from the earth, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. 12 When you till the ground, it shall no longer yield its strength to you. A fugitive and a vagabond you shall be on the earth.” 13 And Cain said to the LORD, “My punishment is greater than I can bear! 14 Surely you have driven me out this day from the face of the ground; I shall be hidden from your face; I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond on the earth, and it will happen that anyone who finds me will kill me.” 15 And the LORD said to him, “Therefore, whoever kills Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold.” And the LORD set a mark on Cain, lest anyone finding him should kill him.

Kain i Abel

Nato je Adam spoznao Evu, svoju œenu, a ona je zatrudnjela i rodila sina, Kaina; rekla je: “Dobila sam çovjeka pomoøu Gospodina.” 2 Onda je rodila joæ jednoga sina, njegova brata Abela. Nato je Abel postao pastir, a Kain poljodjelac. 3 Nakon nekog vremena dogodilo se da je Kain prineo Gospodinu œrtvu od poljskih plodova. 4 I Abel je œrtvovao od prvina svojega stada, i to komade sala. Gospodin je milo pogledao na Abela i njegovu œrtvu, 5 ali na Kaina i njegovu œrtvu nije pogledao. Kain je bio jako srdit i lice mu se namrgodilo. 6 A Gospodin je upitao Kaina: “Zaæto si srdit i gledaæ pred sobom tako mrko? 7 Ako pravo radiæ, ne odsijeva li ti lice vedrinom? Ako ne radiæ pravo, grijeh vreba pred vratima i œudi za tobom, ali ti trebaæ nad njim vladati.” 8 A Kain je razgovarao sa svojim bratom Abelom; i dogodilo se, dok su bili na polju, da se Kain podigao na svojega brata Abela i ubio ga. 9 Onda je upitao Gospodin Kaina: “Gdje ti je brat Abel?” On je rekao: “Ja ne znam. Zar sam ja çuvar svojega brata?” 10 On je rekao: “Æto si uçinio? Glas krvi tvojega brata viçe k meni sa zemlje. 11 Tako sada neka si proklet, prognan od domaøeg tla æto je otvorilo svoja usta da popije krv tvojega brata, iz tvoje ruke. 12 Kad zemlju obraåujeæ, ona neøe viæe imati snage da ti daje uroda. Bjegunac i lutatalica bit øeæ na zemlji.” 13 A Kain je rekao Gospodinu: “Prevelika je moja kazna, a da bih ju mogao snositi. 14 Zaista evo, ovoga me dana tjeraæ s lica zemlje; moram se skrivati daleko od tvojega lica; bit øu lutalica i bjegunac na zemlji, i moglo bi se dogoditi da me netko ubije kad me susretne.” 15 A Gospodin mu rekao: “Ne tako, nego tko god ubije Kaina, sedmerostruka osveta bit øe na njega stavljena.” I Gospodin je stavio znak na Kaina da ga nitko ne ubije kad ga susretne.

And he built a city, and called the name njela i rodila Enoka.

Iradu se rodio Mehujael, and Mehujael begot Methushael, and jael, Mehujaelu se rodio Metuæael, Metuæaelu se rodio Lamek. Methushael begot Lamech. 19 Then Lamech took for himself two wives: the 19 Tada je Lamek uzeo sebi dvije œene. Jedna name of one was Adah, and the name of the second se zvala Ada, a druga Zila. 20 Ada je rodila Jabala, koji je bio praotac oniwas Zillah. 20 And Adah bore Jabal. He was the father of those ma koji prebivaju pod æatorima i imaju stoku. 21 Njegov se brat zvao Jubal. On je praotac who dwell in tents and have livestock. 21 His brother’s name was Jubal. He was the father svih koji sviraju na liru i sviralu. 22 A Zila je rodila Tubal-Kaina, kovaça koji je of all those who play the harp and flute. 22 And as for Zillah, she also bore Tubal-Cain, an pravio svakovrsno posuåe od mjedi i œeljeza. A instructor of every craftsman in bronze and iron. And sestra Tubal-Kainova bila je Naama. 23 Lamek je rekao svojim œenama: “Ada i Zila, the sister of Tubal-Cain was Naamah. 23 Then Lamech said to his wives: “Adah and Zillah, çujte moj glas; œene Lamekove, posluæajte hear my voice; O wives of Lamech, listen to my moju rijeç: Ubio sam çovjeka koji me ranio i speech! For I have killed a man for wounding me, momka koji me udario. 24 Ako øe Kain biti sedmerostruko osveøen, even a young man for hurting me. 24 If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, then Lamech Lamek øe biti sedamdeset i sedam puta.” 25 Adam je opet bio spoznao svoju œenu i ona seventy-sevenfold.” 25 And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a je rodila sina i nadjenula mu ime Set. Pomislila son and named him Seth, “For God has appointed je: “Bog mi je dao drugoga sina namjesto Abela another seed for me instead of Abel, whom Cain koga je ubio Kain.” 26 I Setu se rodio sin, i on mu nadjenuo ime killed.” 26 And as for Seth, to him also a son was born; and Enoæ. Tada se poçelo prizivati Ime Gospodinohe named him Enosh. Then men began to call on the vo. name of the LORD.

This is the book of the genealogy of Adam. In the day that God created man, he made him in the likeness of God. 2 He created them male and female, and blessed them and called them Adam in the day they were created. 3 And Adam lived one hundred and thirty years, and begot a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth. 4 After he begot Seth, the days of Adam were eight hundred years; and he begot sons and daughters. 5 So all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years; and he died. 6 Seth lived one hundred and five years, and begot Enosh. 7 After he begot Enosh, Seth lived eight hundred and seven years, and begot sons and daughters. 8 So all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years; and he died. 9 Enosh lived ninety years, and begot Cainan. 10 After he begot Cainan, Enosh lived eight hundred and fifteen years, and begot sons and daughters. 11 So all the days of Enosh were nine hundred and five years; and he died. 12 Cainan lived seventy years, and begot Mahalaleel. 13 After he begot Mahalaleel, Cainan lived eight hundred and forty years, and begot sons and daughters. 14 So all the days of Cainan were nine hundred and ten years; and he died. 15 Mahalaleel lived sixty-five years, and begot Jared. 16 After he begot Jared, Mahalaleel lived eight hundred and thirty years, and begot sons and daughters. 17 So all the days of Mahalaleel were eight hundred and ninety-five years; and he died.

Ljudski rod od Adama do Noe

Ovo je knjiga Adamova rodoslovlja. U dan kad je Bog stvorio çovjeka, stvorio ga na priliku Boœju. 2 On ih je stvorio muæko i œensko, blagoslovio ih i nazvao ih Adam na dan kad su bili stvoreni. 3 Adam je œivio stotinu i trideset godina i rodio mu se sin koji mu je bio po obliçju sliçan, i nadjenuo mu ime Set. 4 Poslije roåenja Setova, Adam je œivio osam stotina godina i rodili mu se sinovi i køeri. 5 Tako je œivio Adam svega devet stotina i trideset godina i umrije. 6 Set je œivio stotinu i pet godina i rodio mu se Enoæ. 7 Poslije roåenja Enoæeva, Set je œivio osam stotina i sedam godina, i rodili mu se sinovi i køeri. 8 Tako je œivio Set svega devet stotina i dvanaest godina i umrije. 9 Enoæ je œivio devedeset godina i rodio mu se Kenan. 10 Poslije roåenja Kenanova, Enoæ je œivio osam stotina i petnaest godina i rodili mu se sinovi i køeri. 11 Tako je Enoæ œivio svega devet stotina i pet godina i umrije. 12 Kenan je œivio sedamdeset godina i rodio mu se Mahalalel. 13 Poslije roåenja Mahalalelova, Kenan je œivio osam stotina i çetrdeset godina i rodili mu se sinovi i køeri. 14 Tako je Kenan œivio svega devet stotina i deset godina i umrije. 15 Mahalalel je œivio æezdeset i pet godina i rodio mu se Jared. 16 Poslije roåenja Jaredova, Mahalalel je œivio osam stotina i trideset godina, i rodili mu se sinovi i køeri. 17 Tako je Mahalalel œivio svega osam stotina i devedeset i pet godina i umrije.

Now it happened, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, 2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose. 3 And the LORD said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.” 4 There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown. 5 Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 And the LORD was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and he was grieved in his heart. 7 So the LORD said, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.” 8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. 9 This is the genealogy of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God. 10 And Noah begot three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. 11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. 12 So God looked upon the earth, and indeed it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth. 13 And God said to Noah, “The end of all flesh has come before me, for the earth is filled with violence

Bog odluçi uniætiti pokvareno çovjeçanstvo

Nato se dogodilo da kad su se ljudi poçeli mnoœiti na povræini zemlje i køeri su im se rodile, 2 da su vidjeli Boœji sinovi da su bile lijepe çovjeçje køeri, i oni su ih uzimali sebi za œene, koje su god izabrali. 3 I Gospodin je rekao: “Moj duh se neøe zauvijek muçiti s çovjekom, jer on je zaista tjelesan; neka mu œivot bude stotinu i dvadeset godina.” 4 U one dane œivjeli su divovi na zemlji, pa joæ i kasnije, kad su Boœji sinovi uzimali sebi çovjeçje køeri, i kad su ih oni spoznali one su im rodile djecu. To su bili gorostasi davnine, glasoviti ljudi. 5 Tada je Gospodin vidio da je çovjekova pokvarenost na zemlji velika i da su sve nakane miæljenja i njihova srca uvijek samo na zlo. 6 Gospodin se pokajao æto je stvorio çovjeka na zemlji i bio srcem oœaloæøen. 7 I Gospodin je rekao: “Uniætit øu s lica zemlje çovjeka koga sam stvorio, oboje çovjeka i zvijeri, sve æto gmiœe i ptice u zraku, jer se kajem æto sam ih stvorio.” 8 Ali je Noa naæao milost u oçima Gospodinovim. 9 Ovo je rodoslovlje Noino: Noa je bio çovjek pravedan i neporoçan u svojem naraætaju; Noa je hodio s Bogom. 10 Noi su se rodila tri sina: Æem, Ham i Jafet. 11 Zemlja je bila pokvarena pred Bogom i puna nasilja. 12 Tako je Bog pogledao i vidio kako je zemlja zaista pokvarena, jer je sve çovjeçanstvo u svojem djelovanju bilo poælo po zlu na zemlji. 13 I rekao je Bog Noi: “Kraj svim œivim stvorenjima je doæao pred mene, jer je zemlja puna

Then the LORD said to Noah, “Come into the ark, you and all your household, because I have seen that you are righteous before me in this generation. 2 You shall take with you seven each of every clean animal, a male and his female; two each of animals that are unclean, a male and his female; 3 also seven each of birds of the air, male and female, to keep the species alive on the face of all the earth. 4 For after seven more days I will cause it to rain on the earth forty days and forty nights, and I will destroy from the face of the earth all living things that I have made.” 5 And Noah did according to all that the LORD commanded him. 6 Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was on the earth. 7 So Noah, with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives, went into the ark because of the waters of the flood. 8 Of clean beasts, of beasts that are unclean, of birds, and of everything that creeps on the earth, 9 two by two they went into the ark to Noah, male and female, as God had commanded Noah. 10 And it happened after seven days that the waters of the flood were on the earth. 11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. 12 And the rain was on the earth forty days and forty nights. 13 On the very same day Noah and Noah’s sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered the ark– 14 they and every beast after its kind, all cattle after their kind, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every sort. 15 And they went into the ark to Noah, two by two, of all flesh in which is the breath of life.

Potop

Onda jednoga dana rekao je Gospodin Noi: “Uåi u korablju s cijelom svojom obitelji, jer sam samo tebe vidio pravedna pred sobom u ovom naraætaju. 2 Od svih çistih œivotinja uzmi sebi po sedmero, muæko i œensko, a od neçistih œivotinja po dvoje, muæko i œensko. 3 I od ptica nebeskih po sedmero, muæko i œensko, da se kasnije mognu rasploditi na zemlji. 4 Jer, veø do sedam dana pustit øu kiæu na zemlju za çetrdeset dana i çetrdeset noøi, i uniætit øu sa zemlje sva œiva biøa koja sam ih stvorio.” 5 I Noa je uçinio sve onako kako mu je zapovjedio Gospodin. 6 Noa je imao æest stotina godina kad je doæao potop na zemlju. 7 Tako je Noa sa svojim sinovima, svojom œenom i œenama svojih sinova uæao u korablju zbog potopa. 8 Od œivotinja çistih i neçistih, od ptica i od svega æto gmiœe po zemlji. 9 Uælo je Noi u korablju po dvoje, muæko i œensko, kako je Bog zapovjedio Noi. 10 I dogodilo se nakon sedam dana da su prodrle vode potopa na zemlju. 11 U æeststotoj godini œivota Noina, sedamnaestoga dana drugoga mjeseca, na taj dan prodrli su svi izvori velikog bezdana i otvorile se ustave nebeske. 12 Kiæa je padala na zemlju çetrdeset dana i çetrdeset noøi. 13 Upravo taj isti dan uæao je u korablju Noa i njegovi sinovi Æem, Ham i Jafet, i s njima œena Noina i tri œene njegovih sinova; 14 oni i sve zvijeri po svojim vrstama, stoka po svojim vrstama, sve æto gmiœe po zemlji po svojim vrstama, i sve ptice po svojim vrstama, sve æto je imalo krila i perje. 15 Uæli su Noi u korablju po dvoje od svih œivih biøa.

Then God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the animals that were with him in the ark. And God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided. 2 The fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven were also stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained. 3 And the waters receded continually from the earth. At the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters decreased. 4 Then the ark rested in the seventh month, the seven-teenth day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat. 5 And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month. In the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen. 6 So it happened, at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made. 7 Then he sent out a raven, which kept going to and fro until the waters had dried up from the earth. 8 He also sent out from himself a dove, to see if the waters had abated from the face of the ground. 9 But the dove found no resting place for the sole of her foot, and she returned into the ark to him, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth. So he put out his hand and took her, and drew her into the ark to himself. 10 And he waited yet another seven days, and again he sent the dove out from the ark. 11 Then the dove came to him in the evening, and behold, a freshly plucked olive leaf was in her mouth; and Noah knew that the waters had abated from the earth. 12 So he waited yet another seven days and sent out the dove, which did not return again to him anymore. 13 And it happened in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, that the waters were dried up from the earth; and Noah removed the covering of the ark and looked, and indeed the surface of the ground was dry. 14 And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dried. 15 Then God spoke to Noah, saying, 16 Go out of the ark, you and your wife, and your sons and your sons’ wives with you.

Svræetak potopa

Onda se Bog sjetio Noe i svih œivih biøa i svih œivotinja koje su bile s njim u korablji. I Bog je pustio vjetar da puhne po zemlji tako da je voda opadala. 2 Zatvorili se izvori bezdana i ustave nebeske se takoåer zaustavile, i kiæa s neba je prestala padati. 3 I vode su neprestano otjecale sa zemlje. I nakon stotinu i pedeset dana vode su se smanjile. 4 Sedamnaestoga dana sedmoga mjeseca zaustavila se korablja na Gori Ararat. 5 Voda je onda dalje opadala do desetoga mjeseca. Prvog dana desetoga mjeseca pokazali su se vrhovi brda. 6 Nato se dogodilo, nakon çetrdeset dana, otvorio Noa prozor korablje æto je napravio. 7 Tada je ispustio gavrana koji je odlijetao i dolijetao dok nije presahnula voda na zemlji. 8 Onda je ispustio golubicu da vidi je li voda otekla sa zemlje. 9 Ali golubica nije naæla mjesta gdje bi stala njezina noga, pa se vratila njemu u korablju, jer je voda joæ pokrivala svu povræinu zemlje. Tako je on pruœio svoju ruku, uhvatio ju i uzeo sebi u korablju. 10 Poçekao je joæ sedam dana, pa opet ispustio golubicu iz korablje. 11 Tada se golubica vratila k njemu tek pred veçer; i gle, imala je u kljunu svjeœi maslinov list. Noa je po tom znao da su vode otekle sa zemlje. 12 Ipak je priçekao joæ sedam dana, pa opet ispustio golubicu, ali se ona k njemu nije viæe vratila. 13 Dogodilo se æest stotina prve godine, prvog dana prvoga mjeseca, usahnule su vode na zemlji; a Noa je otkrio pokrov na korablji i pogledao, i vidio da se povræina zemlje poçela suæiti. 14 I dvadeset i sedmog dana drugoga mjeseca bila je zemlja suha. 15 Onda se Bog javio Noi, govoreøi: 16 “Izaåi iz korablje, ti i s tobom tvoja œena, tvoji sinovi i œene tvojih sinova!

-13Genesis Postanak 17 Bring out with you every living thing of all flesh 17 Sobom uzmi sve razne vrste œivotinja æto su that is with you: birds and cattle and every creeping s tobom: ptice, stoku, i sve æto gmiœe po zemlji thing that creeps on the earth, so that they may da se slobodno kreøu po zemlji, da se rasplode abound on the earth, and be fruitful and multiply on i razmnoœe na zemlji!” 18 I tako je izaæao Noa, s njim njegovi sinovi, the earth.” 18 So Noah went out, and his sons and his wife and njegova œena i œene njegovih sinova. 19 Sve zvijeri, sve sitne œivotinje, i sve ptice, his sons’ wives with him. 19 Every beast, every creeping thing, every bird, and sve æto se samo miçe na zemlji, po svojim vrwhatever creeps on the earth, according to their stama, izaæli su iz korablje. 20 Onda je Noa podigao Gospodinu œrtvenik, families, went out of the ark. 20 Then Noah built an altar to the LORD, and took of uzeo je po komad od svih çistih œivotinja i od every clean animal and of every clean bird, and of- svih çistih ptica i prineo na œrtveniku œrtvu paljenicu. fered burnt offerings on the altar. 21 And the LORD smelled a soothing aroma. Then the 21 Kad je Gospodin omirisao ugodan miris, LORD said in his heart, “I will never again curse the rekao je u sebi: “Nikada viæe neøu prokleti zemground for man’s sake, although the imagination of lje zbog ljudi; i makar je miæljenje srca man’s heart is evil from his youth; nor will I again de- çovjeçjega zlo od njegove mladosti, neøu ipak viæe uniætiti sva œiva biøa kao æto sam uçinio. stroy every living thing as I have done. 22 While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, 22 Od sada, dok bude zemlje, neøe viæe nestaand cold and heat, and winter and summer, and day jati sjetve ni œetve, studeni ni vruøine, ljeta ni zime, dana ni noøi.” and night shall not cease.”

So God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them: “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth. 2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be on every beast of the earth, on every bird of the air, on all that moves on the earth, and on all the fish of the sea. They are given into your hand. 3 Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. I have given you all things, even as the green herbs. 4 But you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood. 5 Surely for your lifeblood I will demand a reckoning; from the hand of every beast I will require it, and from the hand of man. From the hand of every man’s brother I will require the life of man. 6 Whoever sheds man’s blood, by man his blood shall be shed; for in the image of God he made man. 7 And as for you, be fruitful and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth and multiply in it.” 8 Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying: 9 And as for me, behold, I establish my covenant with you and with your descendants after you, 10 and with every living creature that is with you: the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you, of all that go out of the ark, every beast of the earth. 11 Thus I establish my covenant with you: Never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood; never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth.” 12 And God said: “This is the sign of the covenant which I make between me and you, and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: 13 I set my rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14 It shall be, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud; 15 and I will remember my covenant which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. 16 The rainbow shall be in the cloud, and I will look on it to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.” 17 And God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth.”

Zavjet Boœji s Noom. Grijeh Hamov

Tada je Bog blagoslovio Nou i njegove sinove, i rekao im: “Raåajte se, mnoœite, i napunite zemlju! 2 Strah pred vama neka bude na svim œivotinjama zemaljskim i svim pticama nebeskim, sve æto se miçe na zemlji i sve morske ribe; one su u vaæe ruke predane. 3 Sve æto se miçe i æto œivi, neka vam bude za hranu. Sve to ja vama dajem, kao i zeleno bilje. 4 Ali ne smijete jesti meso koje joæ ima u sebi svoj œivot, naime, krv. 5 Zaista za krv vaæega œivota traœit øu obraçun; od svake œivotinje traœit øu za to obraçun, od svakoga çovjeka, pa i od njegova brata, traœit øu obraçun za œivot çovjeçji. 6 Tko god prolije krv çovjeçju, njegovu øe krv proliti çovjek; jer je Bog stvorio çovjeka po slici Boœjoj. 7 A vi se sada raåajte i mnoœite, raæirite se na zemlji i namnoœite se na njoj!” 8 Onda je Bog rekao Noi i njegovim sinovima koji su bili s njim, govoreøi: 9 “Evo, sklapam sad zavjet s vama i s vaæim potomcima poslije vas, 10 i sa svim œivim biøima koja su s vama, s pticama, sa stokom i sa svim zemaljskim zvijerima koja su s vama, i sa svim zemaljskim œivotinjama koje su izaæle iz korablje. 11 Ja sklapam svoj zavjet s vama: da nijedno stvorenje ne bude viæe uniæteno od vode potopa, i da od sada viæe neøe doøi potop da opustoæi zemlju.” 12 I rekao je Bog: “Ovo je znak zavjeta koji sklapam izmeåu sebe i vas i svih œivih stvorenja koja su s vama za sve vaæe dolazeøe naraætaje. 13 Stavljam svoju dugu u oblak koja øe biti znak zavjeta izmeåu mene i zemlje! 14 I bit øe, da kad navuçem oblake na zemlju ukazat øe se duga u oblacima, 15 i ja øu se sjetiti svojega zavjeta koji postoji izmeåu mene i vas, i svih œivih stvorenja; nikada viæe neøe biti vode za potop da uniæti sva stvorenja. 16 Kad se ukaœe duga u oblacima, pogledat øu ju i sjetit øu se vjeçnoga zavjeta izmeåu Boga i œivih stvorenja svake vrste koja su na zemlji.” 17 I rekao je Bog Noi: “To je znak zavjeta kojega sam napravio izmeåu sebe i svih œivih biøa na zemlji.”

-14Genesis Postanak 18 Now the sons of Noah who went out of the ark 18 A Noini sinovi, koji su izaæli iz korablje, bili were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And Ham was the su: Æem, Ham i Jafet.

10

Now this is the genealogy of the sons o Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And sons were born to them after the flood. 2 The sons of Japheth were Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras. 3 The sons of Gomer were Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah. 4 The sons of Javan were Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. 5 From these the coastland peoples of the Gentiles were separated into their lands, everyone according to his own language, according to their families, into their nations. 6 The sons of Ham were Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan. 7 The sons of Cush were Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabtechah; and the sons of Raamah were Sheba and Dedan. 8 Cush begot Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one on the earth. 9 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD; therefore it is said, “Like Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.” 10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. 11 From that land he went to Assyria and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah, 12 and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (that is the principal city). 13 Mizraim begot Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim, 14 Pathrusim, and Casluhim (from whom came the Philistines and Caphtorim). 15 Canaan begot Sidon his firstborn, and Heth; 16 the Jebusite, the Amorite, and the Girgashite; 17 the Hivite, the Arkite, and the Sinite; 18 the Arvadite, the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. Afterward the families of the Canaanites were dispersed. 19 And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon as you go toward Gerar, as far as Gaza; then as you go toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, as far as Lasha.

Rodoslovlje Noinih sinova

A sada ovo je rodoslovlje Noinih sinova, Æema, Hama i Jafeta, kojima su se rodili sinovi poslije potopa. 2 Jafetovi sinovi bili su: Gomer, Magog, Madaj, Javan, Tubal, Meæek i Tiras. 3 Gomerovi sinovi bili su: Aækenaz, Rifat i Togarma. 4 Javanovi sinovi bili su: Eliæah i Taræiæ, Kitim i Dodanim. 5 Od ovih su se razgranali neznaboœaçki narodi po otocima. To su Jafetovi sinovi prema svojim zemljama, svaki s vlastitim jezikom, prema svojim obiteljima i narodima. 6 Hamovi sinovi bili su: Kuæ, Mizraim, Put i Kanaan. 7 Kuæovi sinovi bili su: Seba, Havila, Sabta, Ramah i Sabteka. Ramahovi sinovi bili su: Æeba i Dedan. 8 Kuæu se rodio Nimrod; on je bio prvi i silni vladar na zemlji. 9 On je bio silan lovac pred Gospodinom, zato se govori: “Silan lovac kao Nimrod pred Gospodinom.” 10 Poçetak njegova kraljevstva bili su: Babel, Erek, Akad i Kalne u zemlji Æinearu. 11 Iz ove je zemlje otiæao u Asiriju i sazidao Ninivu, Rehobot-Ir, Kalah 12 i Resen izmeåu Ninive i Kalaha (to je glavni grad). 13 A Mizraimu se rodio Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naftuhim, 14 Patrusim i Kasluhim, od kojih su potekli Filistejci i Kaftorimci. 15 Kanaanu se rodio Sidon njegov prvoroåenac, i Het. 16 Onda Jebusejci, Amorejci, Girgaæejci, 17 Hivejci, Arkejci i Sinejci, 18 Arvadejci, Semarejci i Hamatejci; poslije se plemena kanaanska dalje raæirila. 19 Dosezalo je podruçje Kanaanaca od Sidona prema Geraru do Gaze i prema Sodomi, Gomori, Adami i Seboimu do Leæe.

-15Genesis Postanak 20 These were the sons of Ham, according to their 20 To su Hamovi sinovi po svojim rodovima po families, according to their languages, in their lands svojim jezicima, u njihovim zemljama i narodima. and in their nations. 21 And children were born also to Shem, the father 21 I Æemu, ocu svih Eberovih sinova, starijemu of all the sons of Eber, the brother of Japheth the bratu Jafetovu, rodili su se sinovi. 22 Æemovi sinovi bili su: Elam, Aæur, Arfaksad, elder. 22 The sons of Shem were Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud i Aram. 23 Aramovi sinovi bili su: Us, Hul, Geter i Maæ. Lud, and Aram. 23 The sons of Aram were Uz, Hul, Gether, and 24 Arfaksadu se rodio Salah, a Salahu se rodio Eber. Mash. 24 Arphaxad begot Salah, and Salah begot Eber. 25 Eberu su se rodila dva sina: jednomu je bilo 25 To Eber were born two sons: the name of one was ime Peleg, jer se u njegovo vrijeme razdijelilo Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; and his çovjeçanstvo, a njegovu bratu bilo je ime Joktan. brother’s name was Joktan. 26 Joktan begot Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, 26 Joktanu se rodio Almodad, Æelef, Hasarmavet i Jerah, Jerah, 27 Hadoram, Uzal i Diklah, 27 Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, 28 Obal, Abimael, Æeba, 28 Obal, Abimael, Sheba, 29 Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the 29 Ofir, Havila i Jobab: svi su ovi Joktanovi sinovi. sons of Joktan. 30 And their dwelling place was from Mesha as you 30 Njihova Prebivaliæta se protezala od Meæe prema Sefaru do istoçnih gora. go toward Sephar, the mountain of the east. 31 These were the sons of Shem, according to their 31 To su Æemovi sinovi po svojim rodovima, po families, according to their languages, in their lands, svojim jezicima, u njihovim zemljama i narodima. according to their nations. 32 These were the families of the sons of Noah, ac- 32 To su obitelji Noinih sinova po svojim naracording to their generations, in their nations; and ætajima u svojim narodima. Od njih su se narodi from these the nations were divided on the earth af- razgranali po zemlji poslije potopa. ter the flood.

Now the whole earth had one language and one speech. 2 And it happened, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there. 3 Then they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They had brick for stone, and they had asphalt for mortar. 4 And they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.” 5 But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built. 6 And the LORD said, “Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them. 7 Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.” 8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they ceased building the city. 9 Therefore its name is called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of all the earth; and from there the LORD scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth. 10 This is the genealogy of Shem: Shem was one hundred years old, and begot Arphaxad two years after the flood. 11 After he begot Arphaxad, Shem lived five hundred years, and begot sons and daughters. 12 Arphaxad lived thirty-five years, and begot Salah. 13 After he begot Salah, Arphaxad lived four hundred and three years, and begot sons and daughters. 14 Salah lived thirty years, and begot Eber. 15 After he begot Eber, Salah lived four hundred and three years, and begot sons and daughters. 16 Eber lived thirty-four years, and begot Peleg. 17 After he begot Peleg, Eber lived four hundred and thirty years, and begot sons and daughters.

Kula babilonska

Tada je zemlja imala jedan jezik i jedan govor. 2 I dogodilo se, da kako su putovali od istoka, naæli su ravnicu u zemlji Æinear i ondje se naselili. 3 Onda su rekli jedan drugomu: “Hajdemo praviti opeku i da ju ispeçemo!” Opeke im bile mjesto kamena a zemljana smola za œbuku. 4 Onda su rekli: “Hajde da sazidamo sebi grad i kulu s vrhom do nebesa, da pribavimo sebi ime, da se ne raspræimo po cijeloj zemlji!” 5 A Gospodin je siæao da vidi grad i kulu æto su ih zidali çovjeçji sinovi. 6 I Gospodin je rekao: “Doista, svi su sad jedan narod i svi imaju jedan jezik, i to su poçeli raditi. Od sada ih viæe niæta neøe zaustaviti izvesti æto god naume. 7 Hajde da siåemo i da im pobrkamo jezik da ne razumiju jedan drugoga æto govore!” 8 Tako ih je Gospodin raspræio odande po cijeloj zemlji i tako su odustali od zidanja grada. 9 Stoga mu je ime Babel, jer je ondje Gospodin pobrkao jezik cijele zemlje, i odande ih je Gospodin raspræio po cijeloj zemlji. 10 Ovo je rodoslovlje Æemovo. Æemu je bilo stotinu godina kad mu se rodio Arfaksad, dvije godine poslije potopa. 11 Poslije roåenja Arfaksadova, Æem je œivio pet stotina godina, i rodili mu se sinovi i køeri. 12 Arfaksad je œivio trideset i pet godina i rodio mu se Salah. 13 Poslije roåenja Salahova, Arfaksad je œivio çetiri stotine i tri godine, i rodili mu se sinovi i køeri. 14 Salah je œivio trideset godina i rodio mu se Eber. 15 Poslije roåenja Eberova, Salah je œivio çetiri stotine i tri godine, i rodili mu se sinovi i køeri. 16 Eber je œivio trideset i çetiri godine i rodio mu se Peleg. 17 Poslije roåenja Pelegova, Eber je œivio çetiri stotine i trideset godina, i rodili mu se sinovi i køeri.

Nato je Gospodin rekao Abramu: “Idi iz 2 I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and svoje zemlje i od svojega roda i iz doma make your name great; and you shall be a blessing. svojega oca u zemlju koju øu ti pokazati! 3 I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him 2 Uçinit øu te velikim narodom, blagoslovit øu te who curses you; and in you all the families of the earth i uzveliçat øu tvoje ime; i ti øeæ biti blagoslov. shall be blessed.” 3 Blagoslovit øu one koji tebe blagoslivljaju, i 4 So Abram departed as the LORD had spoken to him, proklet øu one koji tebe proklinju; u tebi øe biti and Lot went with him.

And doæli u zemlju Kanaan. 6 Proæao je Abram zemlju sve do svetiæta Æethe Canaanites were then in the land. 7 Then the LORD appeared to Abram and said, “To kema, sve do Hrasta Moreh. Kanaanci su tada your descendants I will give this land.” And there he prebivali u zemlji. built an altar to the LORD, who had appeared to him. 7 Onda se Gospodin ukazao Abramu i rekao 8 And he moved from there to the mountain east of mu: “Tvojim potomcima dat øu ovu zemlju.” I on Bethel, and he pitched his tent with Bethel on the je ondje podigao œrtvenik Gospodinu koji mu se west and Ai on the east; there he built an altar to the ukazao. 8 I krenuo je odatle dalje u gore istoçno od BeLORD and called on the name of the LORD. 9 So Abram journeyed, going on still toward the tela i postavio svoj æator izmeåu Betela na zapadu i Aja na istoku. Tu je podigao Gospodinu South. 10 Now there was a famine in the land, and Abram œrtvenik i prizvao Ime Gospodinovo. went down to Egypt to sojourn there, for the famine 9 I tako je Abram putovao joæ dalje prema jugu. 10 A nastala je glad u zemlji, i Abram je siæao u was severe in the land. 11 And it happened, when he was close to entering Egipat da se ondje za koje vrijeme skloni, jer je Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, “Indeed I know glad teæko pritiskivala zemlju. 11 I dogodilo se, kad se pribliœio Egiptu, rekao that you are a woman of beautiful countenance. 12 Therefore it will happen, when the Egyptians see je Saraji, svojoj œeni: “Znam dobro da si vrlo liyou, that they will say, ‘This is his wife’; and they will jepa œena. 12 Stoga kad te vide Egipøani, reøi øe: ‘To mu je kill me, but they will let you live. 13 Please say you are my sister, that it may be well œena’ i mene øe ubiti, a tebe ostaviti na œivotu. with me for your sake, and that I may live because of 13 Pa kaœi da si mi sestra, da mi zbog tebe bude dobro, i da bi zbog tebe ostao na œivotu!” you.” 14 So it was, when Abram came into Egypt, that the 14 A kad je doæao Abram u Egipat, vidjeli su

Then Abram went up from Egypt, he and his wife and all that he had, and Lot with him, to the South. 2 Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold. 3 And he went on his journey from the South as far as Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai, 4 to the place of the altar which he had made there at first. And there Abram called on the name of the LORD. 5 Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks and herds and tents. 6 Now the land was not able to support them, that they might dwell together, for their possessions were so great that they could not dwell together. 7 And there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram’s livestock and the herdsmen of Lot’s livestock. The Canaanites and the Perizzites then dwelt in the land. 8 So Abram said to Lot, “Please let there be no strife between you and me, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen; for we are brethren. 9 Is not the whole land before you? Please separate from me. If you take the left, then I will go to the right; or, if you go to the right, then I will go to the left.” 10 And Lot lifted his eyes and saw all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere (before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah) like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt as you go toward Zoar. 11 Then Lot chose for himself all the plain of Jordan, and Lot journeyed east. And they separated from each other. 12 Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelt in the cities of the plain and pitched his tent even as far as Sodom. 13 But the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinful against the LORD. 14 And the LORD said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him: “Lift your eyes now and look from the place where you are–northward, southward, eastward, and westward; 15 for all the land which you see I give to you and your descendants forever. 16 And I will make your descendants as the dust of the earth; so that if a man could number the dust of the earth, then your descendants also could be numbered. 17 Arise, walk in the land through its length and its width, for I give it to you.” 18 Then Abram moved his tent, and went and dwelt by the terebinth trees of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built an altar there to the LORD.

Abram i Lot

Onda je Abram otiæao iz Egipta dalje na jug, on i njegova œena i sve æto je god imao i Lot s njim. 2 Abram je bio vrlo bogat stokom, srebrom i zlatom. 3 Od juga putujuøi dalje sve do Betela, do mjesta gdje mu je prije bio æator, izmeåu Betela i Aja, 4 do mjesta, gdje je prije podigao œrtvenik. Ondje je Abram prizvao Ime Gospodinovo. 5 A i Lot, koji je iæao s Abramom, imao je ovaca, goveda i æatora. 6 A zemlje nije bilo dosta da bi ih uzdrœavala kad bi ostali zajedno, jer je njihovo imanje bilo tako veliko da nisu mogli boraviti zajedno. 7 I tako je nastajala svaåa izmeåu pastira stada Abramova i pastira stada Lotova. Tada su joæ prebivali i Kanaanci i Perizejci u toj zemlji. 8 Zato je Abram rekao Lotu: “Neka ne bude svaåe izmeåu mene i tebe, izmeåu mojih i tvojih pastira, jer smo braøa. 9 Nije li sva zemlja pred tobom? Odvoji se radije od mene! Ako li ti kreneæ nalijevo, ja øu nadesno; ili, ako ti kreneæ nadesno, onda øu ja nalijevo. 10 I Lot je podigao svoje oçi i vidio da je sva ravnica Jordana posve natopljena (prije nego æto je Gospodin uniætio Sodomu i Gomoru) kao vrt Gospodinov, kao egipatska zemlja, kako se ide prema Zoaru. 11 Tada je Lot izabrao sebi svu ravnicu Jordana, i otputovao na istok. I tako se oni odijelili jedan od drugoga. 12 Abram je ostao u zemlji Kanaanaca, a Lot je œivio u gradovima ravnice i razapinjao svoj æator sve do Sodome. 13 A ljudi u Sodomi bili su veoma zli i jako su sagrijeæili protiv Gospodina. 14 A Gospodin je rekao Abramu, poslije kako se Lot odijelio od njega: “Podigni svoje oçi i pogledaj s mjesta gdje stojiæ: prema sjeveru, jugu, istoku i zapadu; 15 jer svu zemlju koju vidiæ, dat øu tebi i tvojim potomcima zauvijek. 16 I uçinit øu tvoje potomstvo kao prah na zemlji. Ako tko mogne prebrojiti prah na zemlji, moøi øe onda prebrojiti i tvoje potomstvo. 17 Ustani i proåi zemlju u duœinu i u æirinu, jer øu je dati tebi.” 18 I Abram je podigao svoje æatore i smjestio se kod Hrastova Mamre koji su u Hebronu, i ondje je podigao œrtvenik Gospodinu.

A Saraja, œena Abramova, nije mu raåala djece, a imala je sluækinju Egipøanku çije je ime bilo Hagara. 2 Onda je rekla Saraja Abramu: “Gle, Gospodin mi je uskratio roditi djecu. Hajde k mojoj sluækinji, pa moœda øu po njoj dobiti djecu.” Abram je pristao na rijeç Sarajinu. 3 Onda je Saraja, œena Abramova, uzela Hagaru Egipøanku, svoju sluækinju, i dala ju Abramu svojem muœu za œenu, poslije deset godina Abramova boravka u zemlji Kanaan. 4 Tako je on uæao k Hagari i ona je zatrudnjela. A kad je opazila da je trudna, prezrela je svoju gospodaricu.

Now Sarai, Abram’s wife, had borne him no children. And she had an Egyptian maidser-vant whose name was Hagar. 2 So Sarai said to Abram, “See now, the LORD has restrained me from bearing children. Please, go in to my maid; perhaps I shall obtain children by her.” And Abram heeded the voice of Sarai. 3 Then Sarai, Abram’s wife, took Hagar her maid, the Egyptian, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan. 4 So he went in to Hagar, and she conceived. And when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress became despised in her eyes.

When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am Almighty God; walk before me and be blameless. 2 And I will make my covenant between me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly.” 3 Then Abram fell on his face, and God talked with him, saying: 4 As for me, behold, my covenant is with you, and you shall be a father of many nations. 5 No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you a father of many nations. 6 I will make you exceedingly fruitful; and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come from you. 7 And I will establish my covenant between me and you and your descendants after you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and your descendants after you. 8 Also I give to you and your descendants after you the land in which you are a stranger, all the land of Canaan, as an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.” 9 And God said to Abraham: “As for you, you shall keep my covenant, you and your descendants after you throughout their generations. 10 This is my covenant which you shall keep, between me and you and your descendants after you: Every male child among you shall be circumcised; 11 and you shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskins, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and you. 12 He who is eight days old among you shall be circumcised, every male child in your generations, he who is born in your house or bought with money from any stranger who is not your descendant.

Kad je Abram bio devedeset i devet godina star, pojavio se Gospodin Abramu i rekao mu: “Ja sam Svemoøni Bog, hodaj preda mnom i budi neporoçan! 2 I napravit øu moj zavjet izmeåu mene i tebe i prekomjerno øu te umnoœiti.” 3 Onda je Abram pao niçice na svoje lice i Bog je govorio s njim rekavæi: 4 “Evo, ja sklapam moj zavjet s tobom, i ti øeæ postati otac mnogim narodima. 5 Zato od sada tvoje ime neøe viæe biti Abram, veø øe ti ime biti Abraham, jer te postavljam ocem mnogim narodima. 6 uçinit øu te prekomjerno plodnim; i naçinit øu od tebe narode, i kraljevi øe iziøi od tebe. 7 Ja øu utvrditi moj zavjet izmeåu mene i tebe i tvojega potomstva poslije tebe kroz sve njihove naraætaje za vjeçni zavjet, i bit øu Bog tebi i tvojim potomcima poslije tebe. 8 I tebi i tvojem potomstvu poslije tebe dat øu zemlju u kojoj sad boraviæ kao doæljak, svu zemlju Kanaan u vjeçni posjed; a ja øu biti njihov Bog.” 9 I rekao je Bog dalje Abrahamu: “A ti drœi moj zavjet, ti i tvoje potomstvo poslije tebe kroz sve njihove naraætaje! 10 A ovo je moj zavjet æto øeæ ga drœati, izmeåu mene i tebe i tvojega potomstva poslije tebe: svako muæko meåu vama neka bude obrezano. 11 A bit øete obrezani na mesu svoje prednje koœice, i to neka bude znak zavjeta izmeåu mene i vas! 12 Onaj koji je osam dana star meåu vama neka bude obrezan, kroz sve vaæe naraætaje; onaj koji je roåen u tvojoj kuøi ili kupljen za novac od koga god stranaca, koji nije tvoj potomak.

Zar øe is one hundred years old? And shall Sarah, who is Sara koja ima devedeset godina roditi dijete?” 18 I rekao je Abraham Bogu: “Oh, da bi samo ninety years old, bear a child?” 18 And Abraham said to God, “Oh, that Ishmael Iæmael œivio pred tobom!” 19 Tada je Bog rekao: “Ne, tvoja œena Sara øe might live before you!” 19 Then God said: “No, Sarah your wife shall bear ti roditi sina i ti øeæ mu nadjenuti ime Izak! S njim you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac; I will øu utvrditi vjeçni zavjet i s njegovim potomcima establish my covenant with him for an everlasting poslije njega. 20 A i za Iæmaela usliæao sam te: eto, blagoslivcovenant, and with his descendants after him. 20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard you.

Then the LORD appeared to him by the terebinth trees of Mamre, as he was sitting in the tent door in the heat of the day. 2 So he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, three men were standing by him; and when he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them, and bowed himself to the ground, 3 and said, “My LORD, if I have now found favor in your sight, do not pass on by your servant. 4 Please let a little water be brought, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree. 5 And I will bring a morsel of bread, that you may refresh your hearts. After that you may pass by, inasmuch as you have come to your servant.” And they said, “Do as you have said.” 6 So Abraham hastened into the tent to Sarah and said, “Quickly, make ready three measures of fine meal; knead it and make cakes.” 7 And Abraham ran to the herd, took a tender and good calf, gave it to a young man, and he hastened to prepare it. 8 So he took butter and milk and the calf which he had prepared, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree as they ate. 9 Then they said to him, “Where is Sarah your wife?”

Onda se Gospodin pojavio Abrahamu kod hrastova Mamre dok je za dnevne œege sjedio na ulazu u æator. 2 Kad je on podigao svoje oçi i pogledao oko sebe, i gle, tri çovjeka stajali su pred njim. Kad ih je opazio, potrçao im od ulaza u æator u susret i poklonio se sve do zemlje, 3 i rekao: “Moj Gospodine, ako imam milost u tvojim oçima, nemoj mimoiøi svojega slugu! 4 Dajte, molim, da vam se donese malo vode da si operete noge, i odmorite se pod stablom! 5 A ja øu vam iznijeti neæto kruha, da se okrijepite, pa onda moœete poøi dalje. Zato ste i proæli pokraj svojega sluge.” I oni su rekli: “uçini kako si rekao!” 6 Nato je Abraham otrçao Sari u æator i rekao: “Uzmi brzo tri mjerice bijeloga braæna, zamijesi i ispeci pogaçe!” 7 Onda je Abraham otrçao govedima, uzeo mlado debelo tele, i dao ga momku da ga brœebolje pripravi. 8 Nato je uzeo masla, mlijeka i tele koje je dao pripraviti i postavio to pred njih; a sam je stajao pred njima pod stablom dok su oni jeli. 9 Onda su ga upitali, govoreøi: “Gdje je Sara,

Now the two angels came to Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom. When Lot saw them, he rose to meet them, and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground. 2 And he said, “Here now, my lords, please turn in to your servant’s house and spend the night, and wash your feet; then you may rise early and go on your way.” And they said, “No, but we will spend the night in the open square.” 3 But he insisted strongly; so they turned in to him and entered his house. Then he made them a feast, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate. 4 Now before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, both old and young, all the people from every quarter, surrounded the house. 5 And they called to Lot and said to him, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may know them carnally.” 6 So Lot went out to them through the doorway, shut the door behind him, 7 and said, “Please, my brethren, do not do so wickedly! 8 See now, I have two daughters who have not known a man; please, let me bring them out to you, and you may do to them as you wish; only do nothing to these men, since this is the reason they have come under the shadow of my roof.” 9 And they said, “Stand back!” Then they said, “This one came in to sojourn, and he keeps acting as a judge; now we will deal worse with you than with them.” So they pressed hard against the man Lot, and came near to break down the door. 10 But the men reached out their hands and pulled Lot into the house with them, and shut the door. 11 And they struck the men who were at the doorway of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they became weary trying to find the door. 12 Then the men said to Lot, “Have you anyone else here? Son-in-law, your sons, your daughters, and whomever you have in the city–take them out of this place! 13 For we will destroy this place, because the outcry against them has grown great before the face of the LORD, and the LORD has sent us to destroy it.” 14 So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who had married his daughters, and said, “Get up, get out of this place; for the LORD will destroy this city!” But to his sons-in-law he seemed to be joking. 15 When the morning dawned, the angels urged Lot to hurry, saying, “Arise, take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be consumed in the punishment of the city.” 16 And while he lingered, the men took hold of his hand, his wife’s hand, and the hands of his two daughters, the LORD being merciful to him, and they brought him out and set him outside the city. 17 So it happened, when they had brought them outside, that he said, “Escape for your life! Do not look behind you nor stay anywhere in the plain. Escape to the mountains, lest you be destroyed.” 18 Then Lot said to them, “Oh, not so, my LORD! 19 Indeed now, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have increased your mercy which you have shown me by saving my life; but I cannot escape to the mountains, lest some evil overtake me and I die.

Uniætenje Sodome i izbavljanje Lota

Nato su ona dva anåela stigla uveçer u Sodomu dok je Lot sjedio na vratima Sodome. Çim ih je Lot opazio, ustao je pred njima i poklonio se licem sve do zemlje. 2 On je rekao: “Molim vas, gospodo, svratite se u kuøu svojega sluge da prenoøite i operete svoje noge; onda sutra rano moœete nastaviti svoj put.” A oni su rekli: “Ne, mi øemo prenoøiti vani na trgu.” 3 Ali ih je on uporno navraøao, pa se oni svratili k njemu i uæli u njegovu kuøu. On ih je ugostio i dao ispeøi beskvasnih pogaça, i oni su jeli. 4 Ali prije nego su otiæli leøi, opkolili su kuøu ljudi grada Sodome, mlado i staro, sav narod do posljednjega çovjeka. 5 Oni su pozvali Lota i rekli mu: “Gdje su ljudi koji su veçeras doæli k tebi? Izvedi nam ih da ih tjelesno upoznamo!” 6 Nato je Lot izaæao k njima van pred vrata, a vrata je zatvorio za sobom, 7 pa rekao: “Molim vas, moja braøo, ne çinite takva zla! 8 Evo, imam dvije køeri koje nisu spoznale muœa: njih øu vam izvesti, pa çinite s njima æto vam je drago, samo ne dirajte u ove ljude, jer su uæli pod sjenu mojega krova!” 9 A oni rekli: “Odstupi odatle!” i joæ: “Ovaj je doæao ovamo kao doæljak i sad se pravi sudac. Sad øemo uçiniti tebi joæ gore nego njima!” I navalili su silom na çovjeka, na Lota, i primicali se sve bliœe da razbiju vrata. 10 Ali ona su dva çovjeka pruœili svoje ruke i uvukli Lota k sebi u kuøu i zatvorili vrata. 11 A ljude pred kuønim vratima, malo i veliko, udarili su sljepoøom tako da su se uzalud muçili da bi naæli vrata. 12 Onda su ljudi rekli Lotu: “Ako imaæ ovdje joæ koga svojega, zeta, svoje sinove i køeri, ili koga joæ drugoga u gradu, izvedi ih iz ovoga mjesta! 13 Jer mi øemo uniætiti ovo mjesto; jer se teæka tuœba digla protiv njih pred Gospodinom, i Gospodin nas je poslao da ih uniætimo.” 14 Tako je Lot iziæao van i porazgovorio se sa svojim zetovima, koji su se bili oœenili njegovim køerima, i rekao: “Ustajte, i izaåite iz ovoga mjesta, jer øe Gospodin uniætiti ovaj grad!” Ali su njegovi zetovi mislili da on prebija æalu. 15 Kad je osvanula zora, anåeli su poœurivali Lota, govoreøi: “Ustani, uzmi svoju œenu i svoje dvije køeri koje su joæ kod kuøe, da i ti ne pogineæ kaznom grada!” 16 Kad je on joæ uvijek oklijevao, uzeli su ga ljudi za ruku, njegovu œenu i obje njegove køeri–po smilovanju Gospodinovu–i izveli ih izvan grada. 17 I dogodilo se kad su ih izveli van jedan mu rekao: “Bjeœi, da si spasiæ œivot! Ne ogledaj se natrag i ne zaustavljaj se nigdje u toj ravnici; bjeœi u goru da i ti ne pogineæ!” 18 Onda im Lot rekao: “Nemoj tako, Gospodine! 19 Evo sada, ako je tvoj sluga naæao milost u tvojim oçima, a veliko si mi milosråe veø iskazao spasivæi mi œivot; ali ja ne smijem bjeœati u goru da me nesreøa ne snaåe i ne poginem.

And Abraham journeyed from there to the South, and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar. 2 Now Abraham said of Sarah his wife, “She is my sister.” And Abimelech king of Gerar sent and took Sarah. 3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, “Indeed you are a dead man because of the woman whom you have taken, for she is a man’s wife.” 4 But Abimelech had not come near her; and he said, “LORD, will you slay a righteous nation also? 5 Did he not say to me, ‘She is my sister’? And she, even she herself said, ‘He is my brother.’ In the integrity of my heart and innocence of my hands I have done this.”

Abraham i Abimelek

Abraham je krenuo odande na jug i boravio je izmeåu Kadeæa i Æura, a zadrœao se u Gerari kao prolaznik. 2 Onda je Abraham rekao za Saru, svoju œenu: “Sestra mi je.” I poslao ondje Abimelek, gerarski kralj, i dao je dovesti Saru. 3 Ali Je Bog doæao Abimeleku po noøi u snu i rekao mu: “Eto, umrijet øeæ zbog œene koju si dao dovesti k sebi, jer ona je udata œena!” 4 Ali Abimelek joj se joæ nije pribliœio, pa je odgovorio: “Gospodine, hoøeæ li i pravednika pogubiti? 5 Nije li mi on sam rekao: ‘Sestra mi je’; a i ona je rekla: ‘Brat mi je’. U neduœnosti svojega srca i çistim rukama uçinio sam tako.”

-25Genesis Postanak 6 And God said to him in a dream, “Yes, I know that 6 Onda mu je u snu rekao Bog: “Da, znam da si you did this in the integrity of your heart.

How have I offended “Æto si nam uçinio? Æto li sam ti skrivio da si you, that you have brought on me and on my king- navukao na mene i na moje kraljevstvo toliku dom a great sin? You have done deeds to me that krivnju?

She is the daugh- 12 A ona mi je zaista sestra, køi mojega oca, ter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; samo nije køi moje majke; tako mi je postala œena. and she became my wife. 13 And it happened, when God caused me to wan- 13 I dogodilo se, kad je Bog uçinio da odem od der from my father’s house, that I said to her, ‘This is doma mojega oca, rekao sam joj: ‘Ovu øeæ mi your kindness that you should do for me: in every dobrotu iskazati: u svakom mjestu kamo place, wherever we go, say of me, “He is my brother.” doåemo kaœi o meni da sam ti brat.’ ” 14 Onda je Abimelek uzeo ovaca i goveda, ’” 14 Then Abimelech took sheep, oxen, and male and sluga i sluækinja, te ih darovao Abrahamu i vrafemale servants, and gave them to Abraham; and he tio mu Saru, njegovu œenu. 15 Abimelek je rekao : “Evo, moja ti je zemlja restored Sarah his wife to him. 15 And Abimelech said, “See, my land is before you; otvorena, ostani gdje ti se sviåa!” 16 Onda je rekao Sari: “Evo, dajem tvojem bradwell where it pleases you.” 16 Then to Sarah he said, “Behold, I have given your tu tisuøu srebrnjaka, neka to bude za tebe brother a thousand pieces of silver; indeed this vindi- odæteta u oçima svih koji su s tobom.” Tako je cates you before all who are with you and before all ona bila opravdana 17 Nato se Abraham pomolio Bogu, i Bog je ozothers.” Thus she was reproved. 17 So Abraham prayed to God; and God healed dravio Abimeleka, njegovu œenu i njegove sluAbimelech, his wife, and his maidservants. Then ækinje, tako da su opet mogle raåati. 18 Jer je Gospodin zbog Sare, œene Abrahathey bore children; 18 for the LORD had closed up all the wombs of the move, bio zatvorio svaku utrobu u domu house of Abimelech because of Sarah, Abraham’s Abimelekovu. wife.

21

And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did for Sarah as he had spoken. 2 For Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him. 3 And Abraham called the name of his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac. 4 Then Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him. 5 Now Abraham was one hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him. 6 And Sarah said, “God has made me laugh, so that all who hear will laugh with me.” 7 She also said, “Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? For I have borne him a son in his old age.” 8 So the child grew and was weaned. And Abraham made a great feast on the same day that Isaac was weaned. 9 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, scoffing. 10 Therefore she said to Abraham, “Cast out this bondwoman and her son; for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, namely with Isaac.” 11 And the matter was very displeasing in Abraham’s sight because of his son.

Roåenje Izakovo

Gospodin je pohodio Saru kako je obeøao, i Gospodin je uçinio Sari kako je bio rekao. 2 Sara je zatrudnjela i rodila Abrahamu sina u njegovoj starosti, u odreåeno vrijeme o kojem mu je Bog govorio. 3 A Abraham je nadjenuo ime Izak svojem novoroåenom sinu koga mu je rodila Sara. 4 Abraham je obrezao svojega sina Izaka kad mu je bilo osam dana, kako mu je Bog zapovjedio. 5 Abrahamu je bilo stotinu godina kad mu se rodio sin Izak. 6 A Sara je rekla: “Dao mi je Bog da se smijem tako da svi koji çuju o tomu, smijat øe se.” 7 Joæ je rekla: “Tko bi bio ikad rekao Abrahamu, da øe Sara joæ dojiti djecu? Pa ipak ja sam mu rodila sina u njegovoj starosti.” 8 Tako je djeçak rastao i bio odbijen od prsiju. Abraham je na taj dan, kad je bio Izak odbijen od prsiju, priredio veliku gozbu. 9 A Sara je vidjela kako se sin Egipøanke Hagare, koga je bila rodila Abrahamu, podsmijeva. 10 Stoga je rekla Abrahamu: “Otjeraj tu sluækinju i sina njezina, jer sin te sluækinje ne smije biti baætinik s mojim sinom, Izakom.” 11 A to je Abrahamu bilo vrlo neugodno zbog njegova sina.

-26Genesis Postanak 12 But God said to Abraham, “Do not let it be dis- 12 Onda je rekao Bog Abrahamu: “Neka ti ne pleasing in your sight because of the lad or because bude œao djeçaka i tvoje sluækinje. Posluæaj of your bondwoman. Whatever Sarah has said to Saru u svemu æto øe ti reøi, jer øe se po Izaku you, listen to her voice; for in Isaac your seed shall zvati tvoje potomstvo. 13 Ali øu i sina sluækinje uçiniti narodom, jer je be called. 13 Yet I will also make a nation of the son of the tvoj potomak.” 14 Tako je Abraham ustao rano ujutro, uzeo bondwoman, because he is your seed.” 14 So Abraham rose early in the morning, and took kruha i mjeæinu vode i dao je to Hagari stavivæi bread and a skin of water; and putting it on her shoul- joj na ramena, i djeçaka joj je dao i otpustio ju. der, he gave it and the boy to Hagar, and sent her Tada je ona otiæla i lutala je po pustinji Beeraway. Then she departed and wandered in the Wil- Æebe. 15 A kad se voda u mjeæini potroæila, stavila je derness of Beer-Sheba. 15 And the water in the skin was used up, and she djeçaka pod jedan grm. 16 Onda je otiæla dalje i sjela nasuprot njemu placed the boy under one of the shrubs. 16 Then she went and sat down across from him at koliko moœe lßk dobaciti; rekla je u sebi: “Ne a distance of about a bowshot; for she said to her- mogu gledati kako umire dijete.” Tako je sjedila self, “Let me not see the death of the boy.” So she sat po strani i poçela glasno plakati. 17 A Bog je çuo glas djeçakov. Tada je anåeo opposite him, and lifted her voice and wept. 17 And God heard the voice of the lad. Then the angel Boœji viknuo Hagari s neba i rekao: “Æto ti je, of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said to Hagaro? Ne boj se, jer Bog je çuo glas djeçaka her, “What ails you, Hagar? Fear not, for God has tu gdje leœi. 18 Digni se, podigni djeçaka i drœi ga svojom ruheard the voice of the lad where he is. 18 Arise, lift up the lad and hold him with your hand, kom, jer ja øu ga uçiniti velikim narodom.” 19 Bog je otvorio njezine oçi, te je opazila stufor I will make him a great nation.” 19 And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of denac. Ona je otiæla ondje, napunila mjeæinu water. Then she went and filled the skin with water, vodom i dala djeçaku piti. 20 I Bog je bio s djeçakom; on je odrastao i and gave the lad a drink. 20 So God was with the lad; and he grew and dwelt smjestio se u pustinji i postao vjeæt strijelac. 21 A prebivao je u Pustinji Paran, a njegova in the wilderness, and became an archer. 21 He dwelt in the Wilderness of Paran; and his majka dobavila mu œenu iz egipatske zemlje. 22 I dogodilo se u ono vrijeme, Abimelek i Fikol, mother took a wife for him from the land of Egypt. 22 And it happened at that time that Abimelech and zapovjednik njegove vojske, rekao je AbraPhichol, the commander of his army, spoke to Abra- hamu, govoreøi: “Bog je s tobom u svemu æto poduzimaæ. ham, saying, “God is with you in all that you do. 23 Now therefore, swear to me by God that you will 23 Stoga zakuni mi se ovdje Bogom da neøeæ not deal falsely with me, with my offspring, or with my nikada nevjerno raditi ni protiv mene ni protiv posterity; but that according to the kindness that I svega mojega potomstva!

Sara je u svemu œivjela stotinu dvadeset i sedam godina; to su bile godine Sarina œivota.

Sarah and to weep for her. 3 Then Abraham stood up from before his dead, and 3 Nato se dignuo Abraham ispred svoje pokojnice i progovorio Hetovim sinovima, govoreøi: spoke to the sons of Heth, saying, 4 I am a foreigner and a sojourner among you. Give 4 “Ja sam samo stranac i doæljak meåu vama. me property for a burial place among you, that I may Dajte mi polje za grob meåu vama, da mogu iznijeti svoju pokojnicu i pokopati ju.” bury my dead out of my sight.” 5 And the sons of Heth answered Abraham, saying 5 Hetovi sinovi su odgovorili Abrahamu, govoreøi mu: to him, 6 Hear us, my lord: You are a mighty prince among 6 “Çuj nas, gospodaru!

Now Abraham was old, well-advanced in age; and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all

things. 2 So Abraham said to the oldest servant of his house, who ruled over all that he had, “Please, put your hand under my thigh, 3 and I will make you swear by the LORD, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that you will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell; 4 but you shall go to my country and to my kindred, and take a wife for my son Isaac.” 5 And the servant said to him, “Perhaps the woman will not be willing to follow me to this land. Must I take

A Abraham je bio star i zaæao u godine; a Gospodin je blagoslovio Abrahama u svemu. 2 I Abraham je rekao svojem najstarijem sluzi u svojoj kuøi, koji je upravljao svim njegovim imanjem: “Stavi svoju ruku pod moje stegno, 3 da te zakunem Gospodinom, Bogom neba i Bogom zemlje, da neøeæ uzeti mojem sinu œenu izmeåu køeri Kanaanaca meåu kojima boravim, 4 nego øeæ otiøi u moj rodni kraj k mojoj rodbini i ondje øeæ uzeti œenu za mojega sina Izaka.” 5 A sluga mu rekao: “A ako œena neøe poøi za mnom u ovu zemlju. Moram li ja onda povesti

And he arose and went to Mesopotamia, to gospodara sobom na put, podigao se i krenuo u Mezopotamiju, u grad Nahorov. the city of Nahor. 11 And he made his camels kneel down outside the 11 Izvan grada kod jednog studenca pustio je city by a well of water at evening time, the time when svoje deve da polijeœu.

Abraham again took a wife, and her name was Keturah. 2 And she bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. 3 Jokshan begot Sheba and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim. 4 And the sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abidah, and Eldaah. All these were the sons of Keturah. 5 And Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac. 6 But Abraham gave gifts to the sons of the concubines which Abraham had; and while he was still living he sent them eastward, away from Isaac his son, to the country of the east. 7 This is the sum of the years of Abraham’s life which he lived: one hundred and seventy-five years. 8 Then Abraham breathed his last and died in a good old age, an old man and full of years, and was gathered to his people.

Abrahamova smrt. Ezav i Jakov

Abraham je sebi uzeo joæ jednu œenu, a njezino je ime bilo Ketura. 2 I ona mu je rodila Zimrana, Jokæana, Medana, Midjana, Jiæbaka i Æuaha. 3 Jokæanu se rodio Æeba i Dedan. Dedanovi sinovi bili su: Aæurim, Letuæim i Leumim. 4 Midjanovi sinovi bili su: Efa, Efer, Hanok, Abida i Eldaa. Sve su to bila Keturina djeca. 5 A Abraham je predao Izaku sve svoje imanje. 6 A sinovima od svojih suloœnica dao je Abraham samo darove i otpravio ih dok je joæ œivio, daleko od svojega sina Izaka prema istoku u istoçnu zemlju. 7 A ovo je broj godina Abrahamova œivota: stotinu sedamdeset i pet godina. 8 Onda je Abraham preminuo, umro je u sretnoj starosti, star i pun godina, i bio je pridruœen svojim precima.

And he died Asiriji. Naselili su se ispred sve svoje braøe. 19 Ovo je rodoslovlje Izaka, sina Abrahamova: in the presence of all his brethren. 19 This is the genealogy of Isaac, Abraham’s son. Abrahamu se rodio Izak. 20 A Izaku je bilo çetrdeset godina kad se Abraham begot Isaac. 20 Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah oœenio Rebekom køerkom Sirijca Betuela iz as wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padan- Padam-Arama, sestrom Sirijca Labana. 21 A Izak se molio Gospodinu za svoju œenu, Aram, the sister of Laban the Syrian. 21 Now Isaac pleaded with the LORD for his wife, be- jer nije imala djece. Gospodin ga usliæao i tako cause she was barren; and the LORD granted his plea, je njegova œena Rebeka zatrudnjela. 22 A djeca su se sudarala u njezinoj utrobi, ona and Rebekah his wife conceived. 22 But the children struggled together within her; and je rekla: “Ako je tomu tako, æto øe onda biti od she said, “If all is well, why am I this way?” So she mene?” I ona je otiæla pitati Gospodina. 23 I Gospodin joj rekao: “Dva su naroda u tvojoj went to inquire of the LORD. 23 And the LORD said to her: “Two nations are in your utrobi, dva plemena øe se odvojiti u tvojoj womb, two peoples shall be separated from your utrobi; jedno øe biti jaçe od drugoga, a stariji body; one people shall be stronger than the other, sluœit øe mlaåemu.” 24 I kad je doælo vrijeme za roditi, a to zaista bliand the older shall serve the younger.” 24 So when her days were fulfilled for her to give zanci u njezinoj utrobi. 25 Prvi koji se pojavio, bio je crven, sav kao birth, indeed there were twins in her womb. 25 And the first came out red. He was like a hairy runo rutav; zato mu je nadjenula ime Ezav. 26 Poslije je izaæao njegov brat, a njegova je garment all over; so they called his name Esau. 26 Afterward his brother came out, and his hand took ruka uhvatila petu Ezava; zato mu je nadjenula hold of Esau’s heel; so his name was called Jacob. ime Jakov.

Tako je Ezav prezreo pravo prvoroåenstva. Esau despised his birthright.

Zato je ime onom and said to him, “We have found water.” 33 So he called it Shebah.

Rebekah.

Now it happened, when Isaac was old and his eyes were so dim that he could not see, that he called Esau his older son and said to him, “My son.” And he answered him, “Here I am.” 2 And he said, “Behold now, I am old. I do not know the day of my death. 3 Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me. 4 And make me savory food, such as I love, and bring it to me that I may eat, that my soul may bless you before I die.” 5 Now Rebekah was listening when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt game and to bring it. 6 So Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son, saying, “Indeed I heard your father speak to Esau your brother, saying, 7 Bring me game and make savory food for me, that I may eat it and bless you in the presence of the LORD before my death.’ 8 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to what I command you. 9 Go now to the flock and bring me from there two choice kids of the goats, and I will make savory food from them for your father, such as he loves. 10 Then you shall take it to your father, that he may eat it, and that he may bless you before his death.” 11 And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, “Look, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smoothskinned man. 12 Perhaps my father will feel me, and I shall seem to be a deceiver to him; and I shall bring a curse on myself and not a blessing.” 13 But his mother said to him, “Let your curse be on me, my son; only obey my voice, and go, get them for me.” 14 And he went and got them and brought them to his mother, and his mother made savory food, such as his father loved.

Jakov dobiva blagoslov prvoroåenstva

Nato se dogodilo da kad je Izak ostario i oçi mu potamnjele da nije mogao vidjeti, dozvao je svojega starijeg sina Ezava i rekao mu: “Moj sine!” On mu odgovorio: “Evo me!” 2 A on je rekao: “Vidiæ, ostario sam i ne znam kad øu umrijeti. 3 Zato sada, molim te uzmi svoje oruœje, svoj tobolac i svoj lßk, pa idi u polje i ulovi za mene divljaçi. 4 I pripremi mi od toga teçno jelo, kako to ja volim i donesi mi ga da jedem, da te moja duæa mogne blagosloviti prije nego umrem.” 5 A Rebeka je sluæala kad je Izak tako govorio sa svojim sinom Ezavom. I Ezav je otiæao u polje da ulovi divljaçi i donese kuøi. 6 A Rebeka je progovorila svojem sinu Jakovu, govoreøi: “Çula sam kako je tvoj otac rekao tvojem bratu Ezavu, govoreøi: 7 ‘Donesi mi komad lovine i priredi mi teçno jelo da mogu jesti i tebe pred Gospodinom blagosloviti prije nego umrem.’ 8 A sada, moj sine posluæaj moj glas i uçini kako ti zapovjedim. 9 Idi sada k stadu i donesi mi odande dva lijepa jareta, a ja øu od njih prirediti teçno jelo tvojem ocu, kako on to voli. 10 Onda øeæ to odnijeti svojem ocu da bi on to jeo, i onda tebe blagoslovio prije nego umre.” 11 A Jakov je rekao svojoj majci Rebeki: “Gle, moj brat Ezav je çovjek rutav, a ja sam glatke koœe 12 Moœe biti da bi me moj otac opipao, i onda bi ispao pred njim kao varalica, i tako bih navukao na sebe prokletstvo mjesto blagoslova.” 13 A njegova mu majka odgovorila: “Na mene neka padne to tvoje prokletstvo, moj sine; posluæaj savjet moj idi i donesi mi!” 14 On je otiæao i donio svojoj majci, a njegova je majka priredila od toga teçno jelo, kako je to volio njegov otac.

Tko si ti, moj sine?” 19 Jakov je rekao svojem ocu: “Ja sam Ezav, he said, “Here I am. Who are you, my son?” 19 And Jacob said to his father, “I am Esau your tvoj prvoroåenac; uçinio sam kako si mi rekao. firstborn; I have done just as you told me; please arise, Sjedni sada uspravno pa jedi moju lovinu, da sit and eat of my game, that your soul may bless me.” me onda mogneæ blagosloviti.” 20 But Isaac said to his son, “How is it that you have 20 Tada je Izak upitao svojega sina: “Kako si found it so quickly, my son?” And he said, “Because mogao tako brzo neæto naøi, moj sine?” A on je rekao: “Gospodin, tvoj Bog, dao je da naiåe.” the LORD your God brought it to me.” 21 Then Isaac said to Jacob, “Please come near, 21 Ali Izak je rekao Jakovu: “Primakni se bliœe that I may feel you, my son, whether you are really da te opipam, moj sine, jesi li ti zaista moj sin Ezav ili ne!” my son Esau or not.” 22 So Jacob went near to Isaac his father, and he felt 22 Jakov je pristupio k svojem ocu Izaku, on ga him and said, “The voice is Jacob’s voice, but the opipao, i rekao: “Glas je doduæe Jakovljev, ali su ruke Ezavove.” hands are the hands of Esau.” 23 And he did not recognize him, because his hands 23 I nije ga poznao, jer su njegove ruke bile ruwere hairy like his brother Esau’s hands; so he tave kao ruke njegova brata Ezava; i tako ga je on blagoslovio. blessed him. 24 Then he said, “Are you really my son Esau?” And 24 Onda je rekao: “Jesi li ti uistinu moj sin Ezav?” On je odgovorio: “Jesam.” he said, “I am.” 25 And he said, “Bring it near to me, and I will eat of 25 I on je rekao: “Donesi pred mene i ja øu jesti my son’s game, so that my soul may bless you.” So lovine svojega sina, pa da te blagoslovi moja he brought it near to him, and he ate; and he brought duæa!” Jakov mu je donio, i on je jeo; i donio mu vina, i on je pio. him wine, and he drank. 26 Then his father Isaac said to him, “Come near 26 Nato mu rekao njegov otac Izak: “Doåi sada ovamo bliœe, moj sine, i poljubi me!” now and kiss me, my son.” 27 And he came near and kissed him; and he smelled 27 On je pristupio i poljubio ga.

Bless me, even me also, O my jedan blagoslov, oçe moj? Blagoslovi i mene, oçe dragi!” I Ezav je glasno plakao. father!” And Esau lifted up his voice and wept. 39 Then Isaac his father answered and said to him: 39 Onda mu rekao njegov otac Izak, govoreøi: “Behold, your dwelling shall be away of the fatness “Eto, daleko od rodne zemlje bit øe tvoje prebof the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above. ivaliæte i odozgor od rose nebeske. 40 By your sword you shall live, and you shall serve 40 A od svojega øeæ maça œivjeti i svojem øeæ your brother; and it shall come to pass, when you bratu sluœiti. Ali jednom kad postaneæ nemiran, become restless, that you shall break his yoke from istrgnut øeæ njegov jaram sa svojega vrata.” 41 Tako je Ezav mrzio Jakova zbog blagoslova your neck.” 41 So Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing kojim ga blagoslovio njegov otac. Ezav je rekao with which his father blessed him, and Esau said in u sebi: “Dolaze dani œalosti za mojim ocem; his heart, “The days of mourning for my father are at onda øu ubiti svojega brata Jakova.” 42 I kad su Rebeki javili rijeçi svojega starijeg hand; then I will kill my brother Jacob.” 42 And the words of Esau her older son were told to sina Ezava, dala je dozvati svojega mlaåeg Rebekah. So she sent and called Jacob her younger sina Jakova i je rekla mu: “Sluæaj, tvoj se brat son, and said to him, “Surely your brother Esau com- Ezav tjeæi s namjerom da te ubije. forts himself concerning you by intending to kill you. 43 Ali ti, sine dragi, posluæaj moj savjet; ustani i 43 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice: arise, flee bjeœi k mojem bratu Labanu u Haran! 44 I ostani jedno vrijeme kod njega dok se to my brother Laban in Haran. 44 And stay with him a few days, until your brother’s slegne srdœba tvojega brata! 45 Çim se srdœba tvojega brata odvrati od tebe, fury turns away, 45 until your brother’s anger turns away from you, i on zaboravi æto si mu uçinio, poslat øu po tebe and he forgets what you have done to him; then I will i odande te dovesti ovamo.

Ako i Jakov uzme because of the daughters of Heth; if Jacob takes a sebi za œenu jednu takvu Hetovku, jednu izmewife of the daughters of Heth, like these who are the åu køeri u zemlji, onda æto joæ imam dobroga od daughters of the land, what good will my life be to œivota?” me?”

28

Then Isaac called Jacob and blessed him, and charged him, and said to him: “You shall not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan. 2 Arise, go to Padan-Aram, to the house of Bethuel your mother’s father; and take yourself a wife from there of the daughters of Laban your mother’s brother. 3 May God Almighty bless you, and make you fruitful and multiply you, that you may be an assembly of peoples. 4 And give you the blessing of Abraham, to you and your descendants with you, that you may inherit the land in which you are a stranger, which God gave to Abraham.” 5 So Isaac sent Jacob away, and he went to PadanAram, to Laban the son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, the mother of Jacob and Esau. 6 Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Padan-Aram to take himself a wife from there, and that as he blessed him he gave him a charge, saying, “You shall not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan,” 7 and that Jacob had obeyed his father and his mother and had gone to Padan-Aram. 8 Also Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan did not please his father Isaac. 9 So Esau went to Ishmael and took Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, the sister of Ne-bajoth, to be his wife in addition to the wives he had. 10 Now Jacob went out from Beer-Sheba and went toward Haran. 11 So he came to a certain place and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. And he took one of the stones of that place and put it at his head, and he lay down in that place to sleep. 12 Then he dreamed, and behold, a ladder was set up on the earth, and its top reached to heaven; and there the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.

Jakov je umro u Mezopotamiji

Onda je Izak dozvao Jakova, blagoslovio ga i zapovjedio mu: “Ti neøeæ uzeti sebi œene od køeri Kanaanaca! 2 Nego ustani, idi u Mezopotamiju u kuøu Betuela, oca tvoje majke, i uzmi sebi odande œenu, jednu izmeåu køeri Labana, brata tvoje majke! 3 Bog Svemoøni neka te blagoslovi, neka te uçini plodnim i umnoœi te da postaneæ mnoætvo naroda! 4 I neka ti dade blagoslov Abrahamov, tebi i tvojim potomcima, da baætiniæ zemlju u kojoj boraviæ kao doæljak i koju je Bog dao Abrahamu!” 5 Tako je otpremio Izak Jakova i on krenuo u Mezopotamiju Labanu, sinu Sirijca Betuela, bratu Rebeke, majke Jakova i Ezava. 6 A Ezav je vidio da je Izak blagoslovio Jakova i poslao ga u Mezopotamiju da odande dovede sebi œenu i da mu je, blagoslivljajuøi ga, zapovjedio, govoreøi: “Ti neøeæ uzeti sebi œene od køeri Kanaanaca”, 7 te da je Jakov posluæao svojega oca i svoju majku i otiæao u Mezopotamiju. 8 I vidio je Ezav da njegovom ocu Izaku nisu po volji køeri Kanaanaca. 9 Tako je otiæao Ezav k Iæmaelu i uzeo sebi za œenu, uz dvije svoje œene, joæ Mahalatu, køer Iæmaela, sina Abrahamova, sestru Nebajotovu. 10 Nato je Jakov ostavio Beer-Æebu i otputovao u Haran. 11 Tako je stigao na jedno mjesto i prenoøio ondje, jer je sunce bilo zapalo. Uzeo je jedan kamen s toga mjesta, namjestio ga sebi pod glavu i legnuo tu da spava. 12 Onda je on sanjao: i gle, ljestve su stajale na zemlji koje su svojim vrhom dopirale sve do neba, i anåeli se Boœji po njima penjali i silazili.

Ovo nije niæta drugo nego Boœji dom, i ovo su vrata nebeska!” and this is the gate of heaven!” 18 Then Jacob rose early in the morning, and took 18 Rano ujutro uzeo je Jakov kamen koji je the stone that he had put at his head, set it up as a namjestio sebi pod glavu i postavio ga za spomenik i izlio je na njega ulje. pillar, and poured oil on top of it. 19 And he called the name of that place Bethel; but 19 I nazvao to mjesto Betel, a prije je tom gradu bilo ime Luz. the name of that city had been Luz previously. 20 Then Jacob made a vow, saying, “If God will be 20 Onda je Jakov uçinio zavjet, govoreøi: “Ako with me, and keep me in this way that I am going, and Bog bude sa mnom i saçuva me na ovom putu kojim idem, dade mi odjeøu i kruha za hranu, give me bread to eat and clothing to put on, 21 so that I come back to my father’s house in peace, 21 i tako se sretno vratim u svoju oçinsku kuøu, onda øe Gospodin biti moj Bog. then the LORD shall be my God. 22 And this stone which I have set as a pillar shall be 22 A ovaj kamen koji sam postavio za spomeGod’s house, and of all that you give me I will surely nik, bit øe Boœji dom, i od svega æto mi dadeæ, vjerno øu ti dati desetinu.” give a tenth to you.”

So Jacob went on his journey and came to the land of the people of the east. 2 And he looked, and saw a well in the field; and behold, there were three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks. A large stone was on the well’s mouth. 3 Now all the flocks would be gathered there; and they would roll the stone from the well’s mouth, water the sheep, and put the stone back in its place on the well’s mouth. 4 And Jacob said to them, “My brethren, where are you from?” And they said, “We are from Haran.” 5 Then he said to them, “Do you know Laban the son of Nahor?” And they said, “We know him.” 6 So he said to them, “Is he well?” And they said, “He is well. And look, his daughter Rachel is coming with the sheep.” 7 Then he said, “Look, it is still high day; it is not time for the cattle to be gathered together. Water the sheep, and go and feed them.” 8 But they said, “We cannot until all the flocks are gathered together, and they have rolled the stone from the well’s mouth; then we water the sheep.” 9 Now while he was still speaking with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep, for she was a shepherdess. 10 And it happened, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother’s brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother’s brother, that Jacob went near and rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother’s brother. 11 Then Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice and wept. 12 And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father’s relative and that he was Rebekah’s son. So she ran and told her father. 13 Then it happened, when Laban heard the report about Jacob his sister’s son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him and kissed him, and brought him to his house. So he told Laban all these things.

29

Tako je Jakov krenuo na put i doæao u zemlju naroda Istoka. 2 On je pogledao, i opazio u pustinji studenac na kojem su upravo poçivala tri stada ovaca, jer su se na tom studencu napajala stada. Na otvoru studenca leœao je veliki kamen. 3 Tek kad bi se ondje stjerala sva stada, odvaljali bi kamen s otvora studenca i napajali bi ovce; onda bi opet stavili kamen na svoje mjesto na otvor studenca. 4 Jakov im je upitao: “Braøo, odakle ste?” Oni su odgovorili: “Iz Harana smo.” 5 On im rekao: “Poznajete li Labana, sina Nahorova?” Oni su rekli: “Poznajemo ga.” 6 On ih pitao dalje: “Kako mu je?” Oni su odgovorili: “Dobro, evo upravo dolazi njegova køi Rahela s ovcama.” 7 Onda je on rekao: “Eto, joæ je dan dug i nije joæ vrijeme vraøati stoku. Napojite ipak ovce i pustite ih onda da joæ pasu!” 8 A oni su rekli: “Ne moœemo dok se ne skupe sva stada; onda tek odvaljamo kamen s otvora studenca i napojimo ovce.” 9 Dok je on joæ govorio s njima, bila je doæla Rahela s ovcama svojega oca, jer je ona bila pastirica. 10 I dogodilo se, kako je Jakov opazio Rahelu, køer Labana, brata svoje Majke, i ovce Labana, brata svoje Majke, pristupio je Jakov, odvaljao kamen s otvora studenca i napojio ovce Labana, brata svoje Majke. 11 Onda je Jakov poljubio Rahelu i poçeo glasno plakati. 12 I Jakov je pripovjedio Raheli da je roåak njezinu ocu, sin Rebekin. Nato je ona otrçala i javila to svojem ocu. 13 Onda se dogodilo, kad je Laban çuo glas o Jakovu, sinu svoje sestre, potrçao mu u susret, zagrlio i poljubi ga i uveo u svoju kuøu. On je pripovjedio Labanu sve æto se bilo dogodilo.

Leah as a maid. 25 So it happened in the morning, that behold, it was 25 A dogodilo se ujutro, gle, to je bila Lea, a Leah. And Jacob said to Laban, “What is this you Jakov je rekao Labanu: “Zaæto si mi to uçinio? have done to me? Was it not for Rachel that I served Zar ti nisam sluœio za Rahelu?

And he served with 30 Tada je Jakov uæao k Raheli, i volio je Rahelu viæe nego Leu. Tako je on sluœio Labana joæ Laban still another seven years. 31 When the LORD saw that Leah was unloved, he daljnjih sedam godina. 31 Kad je Gospodin vidio da Lea nije voljena, opened her womb; but Rachel was barren. 32 So Leah conceived and bore a son, and she called otvorio joj utrobu, a Rahela je bila nerotkinja. his name Reuben; for she said, “The LORD has surely 32 Tako je Lea zatrudnjela i rodila sina, komu je looked on my affliction.

Then she stopped bearing. nadjenula ime Juda. Potom je prestala raåati.

30

Now when Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister, and said to Jacob, “Give me children, or else I die!” 2 And Jacob’s anger was aroused against Rachel, and he said, “Am I in the place of God, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?” 3 So she said, “Here is my maid Bilhah; go in to her, and she will bear a child on my knees, that I also may have children by her.” 4 Then she gave him Bilhah her maid as wife, and Jacob went in to her.

30

Kad je Rahela vidjela da ne raåa Jakovu djece, zavidjela je Rahela svojoj sestri, i rekla Jakovu: “Daj mi djece, ili øu umrijeti!” 2 Onda se Jakov rasrdio na Rahelu i rekao: “Zar sam ja, namjesto Boga, koji ti je uskratio plod utrobe?” 3 A ona je rekla: “Evo ti moja sluækinja Bilha, uåi k njoj da ona rodi dijete za moje krilo, te tako po njoj dobijem djecu!” 4 I dala mu je svoju sluækinju Bilhu za suloœnicu, i Jakov je uæao k njoj.

-39Genesis Postanak 5 I Bilha je zatrudnjela i rodila Jakovu sina. 5 And Bilhah conceived and bore Jacob a son. 6 Then Rachel said, “God has judged my case; and 6 Tada je rekla Rahela: “Dosudio mi je Bog prahe has also heard my voice and given me a son.” vo kad je usliæao moju molbu i poklonio mi sina.” Stoga mu je nadjenula ime Dan.

Then Rachel said to Leah, nio svojoj majci Lei. Onda je rekla Rahela Lei: “Molim te daj mi koju mandragoru svojega sina!” “Please give me some of your son’s mandrakes.” 15 But she said to her, “Is it a small matter that you 15 A ona joj je rekla: “Zar ti nije dosta æto si mi have taken away my husband?

Jakov je pasao ostalu 37 Now Jacob took for himself rods of green poplar stoku Labanovu. and of the almond and chestnut trees, peeled white 37 Nato je Jakov donio sebi zelenih prutova strips in them, and exposed the white which was in topolovih, ljeskovih i kestenovih i ogulio na njima bijele pruge tako da je otkrio bjelinu na the rods. 38 And the rods which he had peeled, he set before prutovima. the flocks in the gutters, in the watering troughs 38 Potom je stavljao oguljene prutove upravo where the flocks came to drink, so that they should pred stado u œljebove, u korita, kamo su stada dolazila piti vodu, tako se parila kad bi dolazila conceive when they came to drink. 39 So the flocks conceived before the rods, and the piti. flocks brought forth streaked, speckled, and spot- 39 Tako su se stada parila i oplodila gledajuøi u prutove, i œivotinje su se omladile æarene i pruted. 40 Then Jacob separated the lambs, and made the gaste. flocks face toward the streaked and all the brown in 40 Onda je Jakov odvojio janjce, i glave im the flock of Laban; but he put his own flocks by them- okrenuo prema prugastima i svim smeåima u stadu Labanovu; a svoja je stada drœao poseselves and did not put them with Laban’s flock. 41 And it happened, whenever the stronger livestock bno i nije ih mijeæao s Labanovim stadima. conceived, that Jacob placed the rods before the 41 I dogodilo se, kad su se god parile jake œivoeyes of the livestock in the gutters, that they might tinje, stavljao bi Jakov prutove u œljebove ispred oçiju œivotinja da be se parile pred conceive among the rods. 42 But when the flocks were feeble, he did not put prutovima. them in; so the feebler were Laban’s and the stronger 42 A pred slabe œivotinje nije ih stavljao; tako su Labanu pripadale slabe œivotinje, a Jakovu Jacob’s. 43 Thus the man became exceedingly prosperous, jake. and had large flocks, female and male servants, and 43 Tako se çovjek vrlo obogatio i dobio mnogo stoke, sluækinja i sluga, deva i magaraca. camels and donkeys.

31

Now Jacob heard the words of Laban’s sons, saying, “Jacob has taken away all that was our father’s, and from what was our father’s he has acquired all this wealth.” 2 And Jacob saw the countenance of Laban, and indeed it was not favorable toward him as before. 3 Then the LORD said to Jacob, “Return to the land of your fathers and to your kindred, and I will be with you.” 4 So Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field, to his flock, 5 and said to them, “I see your father’s countenance, that it is not favorable toward me as before; but the God of my father has been with me. 6 And you know that with all my might I have served your father. 7 Yet your father has deceived me and changed my wages ten times, but God did not allow him to hurt me. 8 If he said thus: ‘The speckled shall be your wages,’ then all the flocks bore speckled. And if he said thus: ‘The streaked shall be your wages,’ then all the flocks bore streaked. 9 So God has taken away the livestock of your father and given them to me. 10 And it happened, at the time when the flocks conceived, that I lifted my eyes and saw in a dream, and

31

Nato je Jakov doçuo rijeçi Labanovih sinova, govoreøi: “Jakov je sve prenio na sebe æto je imao naæ otac; od posjeda naæega oca on je stekao sve to bogatstvo.” 2 A Jakov je vidio na licu Labanovu da on viæe nije prema njemu onakav kakav je bio prije. 3 Onda je Gospodin rekao Jakovu: “Vrati se u zemlju svojih otaca i k svojoj rodbini, i ja øu biti s tobom.” 4 Tako je Jakov dao dozvati Rahelu i Leu k svojem stadu u polje, 5 i rekao im: “Vidim na licu vaæega oca da on nije prema meni kao prije; ali je Bog mojega oca bio sa mnom. 6 Znate same da sam sluœio vaæem ocu koliko sam god mogao. 7 Ali vaæ otac me je varao i mijenjao mi plaøu deset puta; ali Bog ipak nije dopustio da mi naækodi. 8 Ako je ovako rekao: ‘Æarene œivotinje neka budu tvoja plaøa,’ onda su stada omladila æarene. Ako je rekao: ‘Prugaste neka budu tvoja plaøa,’ onda su stada omladila prugaste. 9 Tako je Bog oduzeo stado vaæemu ocu i dao ga meni. 10 Dogodilo se u vrijeme, naime, kad su se parile ovce, vidio sam jasno u snu kako su ovnovi

32

So Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him. 2 When Jacob saw them, he said, “This is God’s camp.” And he called the name of that place Mahanaim. 3 Then Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother in the land of Seir, the country of Edom. 4 And he commanded them, saying, “Speak thus to my lord Esau, ‘Thus your servant Jacob says: I have sojourned with Laban and stayed there until now. 5 I have oxen, donkeys, flocks, and male and female servants; and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find favor in your sight.’ ” 6 Then the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, “We came to your brother Esau, and he also is coming to meet you, and four hundred men are with him.” 7 So Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed; and he divided the people that were with him, and the flocks and herds and camels, into two companies. 8 And he said, “If Esau comes to the one company and attacks it, then the other company which is left will escape.” 9 Then Jacob said, “O God of my father Abraham and God of my father Isaac, the LORD who said to me, ‘Return to your country and to your kindred, and I will deal well with you’: 10 I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies and of all the truth which you have shown your servant; for I crossed over this Jordan with my staff, and now I have become two companies. 11 Deliver me, I pray, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau; for I fear him, lest he come and attack me and the mother with the children. 12 For you said, ‘I will surely treat you well, and make your descendants as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.’ ” 13 So he lodged there that same night, and took what came to his hand as a present for Esau his brother: 14 two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams, 15 thirty milk camels with their colts, forty cows and ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten foals. 16 Then he delivered them to the hand of his servants, every drove by itself, and said to his servants, “Pass over before me, and put some distance between successive droves.” 17 And he commanded the first one, saying, “When Esau my brother meets you and asks you, saying, ‘To whom do you belong, and where are you going? Whose are these in front of you?’ 18 then you shall say, ‘They are your servant Jacob’s. It is a present sent to my lord Esau; and behold, he also is behind us.’ ” 19 So he commanded the second, the third, and all who followed the droves, saying, “In this manner you shall speak to Esau when you find him; 20 and also say, ‘Behold, your servant Jacob is behind us.’ “For he said, “I will appease him with the present that goes before me, and afterward I will see his face; perhaps he will accept me.” 21 So the present went on over before him, but he himself lodged that night in the camp. 22 And he arose that night and took his two wives, his two maidservants, and his eleven sons, and crossed over the ford of Jabbok. 23 He took them, sent them over the brook, and sent over what he had. 24 Then Jacob was left alone; and a Man wrestled with him until the breaking of day.

32

Tako je Jakov putovao svojim putom, i susreli su ga anåeli Boœji. 2 Kad ih je Jakov opazio, rekao je: “Ovo je tabor Boœji!” I nazvao je to mjesto Mahanaim. 3 Onda je Jakov poslao pred sobom glasnike k svojem bratu Ezavu u zemlju Seir, u pokrajinu Edom, 4 i zapovjedio im, govoreøi: “Ovako recite mojem gospodaru Ezavu: ‘Tvoj sluga Jakov poruçuje ti ovo: boravio sam i do sada se zadrœao kod Labana. 5 Stekao volova, magaraca, stoke, sluga i sluækinja. Tako poruçujem svojem gospodaru, da bih naæao milost u njegovim oçima.’ ” 6 Glasnici su se vratili Jakovu i javili mu, govoreøi: “Doæli smo k tvojem bratu Ezavu; on ti ide u susret, i to sa çetiri stotine ljudi.” 7 Onda se Jakov jako prestraæio, i obuzela ga briga, pa je razdijelio ljude koje je imao sobom i stoku i goveda i deve u dva tabora. 8 Mislio je: “Ako napadne Ezav jedan tabor i svlada ga, drugi øe tabor moøi pobjeøi.” 9 Onda se Jakov pomolio: “O Boœe mojega oca Abrahama, Boœe mojega oca Izaka, Gospodine koji si rekao i meni: ‘Vrati se u svoju domovinu i k svojoj rodbini, i ja øu ti biti jako dobar.’ 10 Nisam vrijedan svih milosti i sve vjernosti koju si iskazao svojem sluzi, jer samo sa svojim putniçkim ætapom prekoraçio sam ondje Jordan, a sad posjedujem dva tabora. 11 Izbavi me, molim, iz ruke mojega brata, iz ruke Ezavove, jer se bojim da ne doåe i ne pobije nas i majke s djecom!” 12 Jer ti si rekao: ‘Ja øu ti biti dobar i uçinit øu tvoje potomstvo mnogobrojno kao morski pijesak æto se ne moœe izbrojiti od mnoœine.’ ” 13 Onu noø je ondje prenoøio, i uzeo je æto je imao pri ruci kao dar za svojega brata Ezava: 14 dvjesta koza i dvadeset jaraca, dvjesta ovaca i dvadeset ovnova; 15 trideset deva dojilica s mladima njihovim, çetrdeset mladih krava i deset mladih bikova, dvadeset magarica i deset magarçiøa. 16 Tada ih predao svojim slugama, svako stado posebno, i zapovjedio svojim slugama: “Idite naprijed preda mnom i ostavite prostora izmeåu jednoga stada i drugoga!” 17 I zapovjedio prvomu, govoreøi: “Kad te susretne moj brat Ezav, pa te upita: ‘Çiji si i kamo ideæ i çije su to œivotinje pred tobom?’ 18 Onda ti kaœi: ‘Tvojega sluge Jakova; ovo æalje on na dar svojem gospodaru Ezavu, on sam dolazi odmah za nama.’ ” 19 Tako je zapovjedio i drugomu i treøemu i svima koji su gonili stado, govoreøi: “Ovo i ovako recite Ezavu kad ga susretnete! 20 I joæ recite: ‘Tvoj sluga Jakov dolazi odmah za nama.’ ” Jer je mislio: “Darom æto ide preda mnom umirit øu ga, a onda øu se s njim suoçiti, moœda øe me onda lijepo primiti.” 21 Tako je otiæao dar naprijed pred njim, a on je sam ostao onu noø u taboru. 22 Ipak se dignuo joæ one noøi, uzeo je obje svoje œene, i obje svoje sluækinje i svojih jedanaest sinova i preæao gaz Jaboka. 23 Uzeo ih, preveo preko potoka i onda ostalo svoje imanje prenio prijeko. 24 A Jakov je ostao sam; i onda se Çovjek hrvao s njim sve do osvitka zore.

Now Jacob lifted his eyes and looked, and there, Esau was coming, and with him were four hundred men. So he divided the children among Leah, Rachel, and the two maidservants. 2 And he put the maidservants and their children in front, Leah and her children behind, and Rachel and Joseph last. 3 Then he crossed over before them and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother. 4 But Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck and kissed him, and they wept. 5 And he lifted his eyes and saw the women and children, and said, “Who are these with you?” And he said, “The children whom God has graciously given your servant.” 6 Then the maidservants came near, they and their children, and bowed down. 7 And Leah also came near with her children, and they bowed down. Afterward Joseph and Rachel came near, and they bowed down. 8 Then Esau said, “What do you mean by all this company which I met?” And he said, “These are to find favor in the sight of my lord.” 9 But Esau said, “I have enough, my brother; keep what you have for yourself.” 10 And Jacob said, “No, please, if I have now found favor in your sight, then receive my present from my hand, inasmuch as I have seen your face as though I had seen the face of God, and you were pleased with me. 11 Please, take my blessing that is brought to you, because God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough.” And he urged him, and he took it. 12 Then Esau said, “Let us take our journey; let us go, and I will go before you.” 13 But Jacob said to him, “My lord knows that the children are weak, and the flocks and herds which are nursing are with me. And if the men should drive them hard one day, all the flock will die. 14 Please let my lord go on ahead before his servant. I will lead on slowly at a pace which the livestock that go before me, and the children, are able to endure, until I come to my lord in Seir.” 15 And Esau said, “Now let me leave with you some of the people who are with me.” But he said, “What need is there? Let me find favor in the sight of my lord.”

33

Kad je Jakov podigao oçi i opazio Ezava gdje dolazi sa çetiri stotine ljudi. Tako je on razdijelio djecu na Leu i Rahelu i obje sluækinje. 2 Sprijeda je postavio sluækinje i njihovu djecu, za njima Leu i njezinu djecu, a najposlije Rahelu s Josipom. 3 A sam je poæao pred njima i poklonio se sedam puta do zemlje dok se nije pribliœio svojem bratu. 4 Ezav mu je potrçao u susret, zagrlio ga, pao mu oko vrata i poljubio ga, i oboje su zaplakali. 5 I on je podigao svoje oçi, vidio œene i djecu, i upitao: “Tko su ovi s tobom?” A on je odgovorio: “To su djeca koju je Bog milostivo darovao tvojem sluzi.” 6 Potom su se bribliœile sluækinje sa svojom djecom i duboko se poklonile. 7 I Lea se bribliœila sa svojom djecom te se duboko poklonila. Najposlije su pristupili Josip i Rahela i duboko se poklonili. 8 Onda je Ezav rekao: “Æto si htio s tom svom povorkom koju sam susreo?” On je odgovorio: “naøi naklonost u oçima svojega gospodara.” 9 Ali je Ezav rekao: “Ja imam dosta, moj brate, zadrœi æto je tvoje!” 10 A Jakov je rekao: “Ne, ako sam naæao naklonost u tvojim oçima, onda primi moj dar iz moje ruke dar, jer meni je kao da gledam u tvoje lice kao da gledam u lice Boœje, æto si me tako lijepo primio. 11 Molim te, primi moj pozdravni dar æto sam ti ga doveo, jer mi je Bog bio milostiv imam svega dosta.” I on ga nagovorio, i on je primio. 12 Nato je rekao Ezav: “Hajde, dignimo se i hajdemo dalje, iøi øu i ja s tobom.” 13 Ali mu je Jakov rekao: “Moj gospodar vidi da su djeca joæ nejaka, a imam na svojoj brizi i ovce dojilice i goveda; i ako ih samo jedan dan previæe gonim, izginut øe mi sve stado. 14 Pa neka ide moj gospodar pred svojim slugom, a ja øu onda polako iøi koliko moœe stado koje gonim i koliko mogu nejaka djeca dok doåem k svojem gospodaru u Seir.” 15 Ezav je rekao: “Pa da ti barem ostavim nekoliko ljudi æto me prate.” Ali je on rekao: “Çemu to? Neka ja samo naåem milost u oçima svojega gospodara!”

Now Dinah the daughter of Leah, whom she had borne to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land. 2 And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he took her and lay with her, and violated her. 3 His soul was strongly attracted to Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the young woman and spoke kindly to the young woman. 4 So Shechem spoke to his father Hamor, saying, “Get me this young woman as a wife.” 5 And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter. Now his sons were with his livestock in the field; so Jacob held his peace until they came. 6 Then Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to speak with him. 7 And the sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it; and the men were grieved and very angry, because he had done a disgraceful thing in Israel by lying with Jacob’s daughter, a thing which ought not to be done. 8 But Hamor spoke with them, saying, “The soul of my son Shechem longs for your daughter. Please give her to him as a wife. 9 And make marriages with us; give your daughters to us, and take our daughters to yourselves. 10 So you shall dwell with us, and the land shall be before you. Dwell and trade in it, and acquire possessions for yourselves in it.” 11 Then Shechem said to her father and her brothers, “Let me find favor in your eyes, and whatever you say to me I will give. 12 Ask me ever so much dowry and gift, and I will give according to what you say to me; but give me the young woman as a wife.” 13 But the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father, and spoke deceitfully, because he had defiled Dinah their sister. 14 And they said to them, “We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised, for that would be a reproach to us. 15 But on this condition we will consent to you: If you will become as we are, if every male of you is circumcised, 16 then we will give our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters to us; and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people. 17 But if you will not heed us and be circumcised, then we will take our daughter and be gone.” 18 And their words pleased Hamor and Shechem, Hamor’s son. 19 So the young man did not delay to do the thing, because he delighted in Jacob’s daughter. He was more honorable than all the household of his father. 20 And Hamor and Shechem his son came to the gate of their city, and spoke with the men of their city, saying: 21 These men are at peace with us. Therefore let them dwell in the land and trade in it. For indeed the

Jakov u Æekemu

Dina, køi Lee, koju je ona rodila Jakovu, izaæla je jednoga dana gledati køeri te zemlje. 2 A kad ju je vidio Æekem, sin Hivejca Hamora, vladara te zemlje, ugrabio ju i silovao. 3 I prionulo je njegovo srce za køer Jakovljevu Dinu; on je zavoljeo djevojku, pa joj se udvarao. 4 A Æekem je zamolio svojega oca Hamora, govoreøi: “Zaprosi mi tu djevojku za œenu!” 5 A Jakov je doznao da je on obeæçastio njegovu køer Dinu, ali je, jer su njegovi sinovi bili u polju kod stoke, æutio dok se oni ne vrate. 6 Uto je doæao otac Æekemov Hamor k Jakovu da se porazgovori s njim. 7 Kad su Jakovljevi sinovi doæli kuøi iz polja i çuli æto se dogodilo, bila je ljudima teæka muka i jako se razljutili æto je onaj nanio veliku sramotu Izraelu time æto je obeæçastio køer Jakovljevu. Takvo æto se nije smjelo dogoditi. 8 Ali im je Hamor rekao, govoreøi: “Srce mojega sina Æekema prionulo je za vaæu køer, pa dajte mu je za œenu. 9 Sprijateljite se s nama i svoje køeri udajite za nas i køerima naæim œenite se. 10 Prebivajte kod nas, zemlja neka vam stoji otvorena. Œivite ovdje, trgujte i stecite sebi imanja.” 11 Tada je rekao Æekem ocu njezinu i braøi njezinoj: “Neka bih ipak naæao milost u vaæim oçima, æto god zatraœite od mene dat øu vam. 12 Zatraœite od mene koliko god hoøete otkupa i œenidbenih darova, ja øu vam dati æto vi od mene zahtijevate, samo mi dajte djevojku za œenu.” 13 A Jakovljevi sinovi dali su Æekemu i njegovom ocu Hamoru lukav odgovor, a rekli su tako jer je onaj obeæçastio njihovu sestru Dinu. 14 I oni su im rekli: “Ne moœemo na to pristati da svoju sestru dademo çovjeku koji nije obrezan jer je to nama sramota. 15 Mi moœemo ispuniti vaæu œelju samo pod uvjetom, da vi budete kao i mi, da se sve muæko meåu vama dade obrezati. 16 Onda øemo vam davati svoje køeri i uzimati sebi vaæe køeri i boraviti kod vas i postati s vama jedan narod. 17 Ako li neøete pristati na naæ prijedlog da se obreœete, onda øemo uzeti svoju køer i otiøi.” 18 Njihov je prijedlog bio po volji Hamoru i Æekemu, sinu Hamorovu. 19 I mladi çovjek nije oklijevao da prijedlog izvræi, jer je volio køer Jakovljevu, a bio je najugledniji od svih u kuøi svojega oca. 20 A Hamor i njegov sin Æekem su doæli na vrata svojega grada i rekli ljudima svojega grada: 21 “Ovi su ljudi miroljubivi prema nama, pa stoga neka borave i trguju u zemlji. Zaista ze-

Then God said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to Bethel and dwell there; and make an altar there to God, who appeared to you when you fled from the face of Esau your brother.” 2 And Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, “Put away the foreign gods that are among you, purify yourselves, and change your garments. 3 Then let us arise and go up to Bethel; and I will make an altar there to God, who answered me in the day of my distress and has been with me in the way which I have gone.” 4 So they gave Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their hands, and all their earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the terebinth tree which was by Shechem. 5 And they journeyed, and the terror of God was upon the cities that were all around them, and they did not pursue the sons of Jacob. 6 So Jacob came to Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him. 7 And he built an altar there and called the place El Bethel, because there God appeared to him when he fled from the face of his brother. 8 Now Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse, died, and she was buried below Bethel under the terebinth tree. So the name of it was called Allon Bachuth. 9 Then God appeared to Jacob again, when he came from Padan-Aram, and blessed him. 10 And God said to him, “Your name is Jacob; your name shall not be called Jacob anymore, but Israel shall be your name.” So he called his name Israel. 11 Also God said to him: “I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall proceed from you, and kings shall come from

Onda je Bog rekao Jakovu: “Ustani, idi gore u Betel, boravi ondje i podigni ondje œrtvenik Bogu koji ti se prikazao kad si bjeœao pred svojim bratom Ezavom!” 2 I Jakov je rekao svojoj kuønoj druœini i svima koji su bili s njim: “Uklonite tuåe bogove æto se nalaze u vaæoj sredini, oçistite se i preodjenite se. 3 Onda øemo se dignuti i poøi gore u Betel; ondje øu podignuti œrtvenik Bogu koji me je usliæao u vrijeme moje nevolje i bio sa mnom na putu kojim sam hodio.” 4 Tako su predali Jakovu sve tuåe kipove æto su ih imali kod sebe i nauænice æto su ih nosili na svojim uæima i Jakov ih je zakopao pod hrast æto stoji kod Æekema. 5 I dok su putovali, Bog je velikim strahom napunio sve gradove unaokolo, tako da nisu iæli u potjeru za Jakovljevim sinovima. 6 Tako Jakov i sva druœina koja je bila s njim stigli su u Luz, (to jest Betel) u zemlji Kanaanskoj. 7 Ondje je on podigao œrtvenik i nazvao to mjesto El Betel, jer mu se bio ondje prikazao Bog kad je bjeœao pred svojim bratom. 8 Onda je umrla Debora, dojkinja Rebekina, i pokopali su ju ispod Betela pod hrastom, koji se otada zove Alon Bakut. 9 Onda se Bog opet javio Jakovu, otkada se vratio iz Mezopotamije, i blagoslovio ga. 10 I Bog mu rekao: “Tvoje je ime Jakov ali se od sada viæe neøeæ zvati Jakov, nego øe tvoje ime biti Israel!” Tako ga je nazvao Izrael. 11 Joæ mu je rekao Bog: “Ja sam El Æadaj– Bog Svemoøni. Budi plodan i mnoœi se! Narod i mnoætvo naroda øe poteøi od tebe, i kraljevi øe

God spoke with him, Bethel. 16 Then they journeyed from Bethel. And when there 16 Onda su krenuli iz Betela dalje.

Now this is the genealogy of Esau, who is Edom. 2 Esau took his wives from the daughters of Canaan: Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite; Aholibamah the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite; 3 and Basemath, Ishmael’s daughter, sister of Nebajoth. 4 Now Adah bore Eliphaz to Esau, and Basemath bore Reuel. 5 And Aholibamah bore Jeush, Jaalam, and Korah. These were the sons of Esau who were born to him in the land of Canaan. 6 Then Esau took his wives, his sons, his daughters, and all the persons of his household, his cattle and all his animals, and all his goods which he had gained in the land of Canaan, and went to a country away from the presence of his brother Jacob. 7 For their possessions were too great for them to dwell together, and the land where they were strangers could not support them because of their livestock. 8 So Esau dwelt in Mount Seir. Esau is Edom. 9 And this is the genealogy of Esau the father of the Edomites in Mount Seir. 10 These were the names of Esau’s sons: Eliphaz

Ovo je rodoslovlje Ezavovo koji se zvao i Edom. 2 Ezav je uzeo sebi svoje œene izmeåu køeri kanaanskih: Adu, køer Hitejca Elona, Oholibamu, køer Ane, køer Hivejca Zibeona, 3 I Basematu, køer Iæmaelovu, sestru Nebajotovu. 4 Ada je rodila Ezavu Elifaza, a Basemata je rodila Reuela. 5 Oholibama je rodila Jeuæa, Jalama i Koraha. To su Ezavovi sinovi, koji su mu se rodili u zemlji Kanaanaca. 6 Ezav je uzeo svoje œene, sinove i køeri i sve ljude iz svoje kuøe, svoje stado, svu svoju stoku i sve svoje imanje koje je stekao u zemlji Kanaanaca, pa je otiæao u drugu zemlju daleko od svojega brata Jakova. 7 Njihov je posjed bio prevelik da bi mogli ostati zajedno, a zemlja, u kojoj su boravili kao doæljaci nije im bila dosta velika za sva njihova stada. 8 Ezav je boravio na Gori Seiru.

Now Jacob dwelt in the land where his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan. 2 This is the genealogy of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brothers. And the lad was with the sons of Bilhah and the sons of Zilpah, his father’s wives; and Joseph brought a bad report of them to his father. 3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age. Also he made him a tunic of many colors. 4 But when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him and could not speak peaceably to him. 5 Now Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it to his brothers; and they hated him even more. 6 So he said to them, “Please hear this dream which I have dreamed: 7 There we were, binding sheaves in the field. Then behold, my sheaf arose and also stood upright; and indeed your sheaves stood all around and bowed down to my sheaf.” 8 And his brothers said to him, “Shall you indeed reign over us? Or shall you indeed have dominion over us?” So they hated him even more for his dreams and for his words. 9 Then he dreamed still another dream and told it to his brothers, and said, “Look, I have dreamed another dream. And this time, the sun, the moon, and the eleven stars bowed down to me.” 10 So he told it to his father and his brothers; and his father rebuked him and said to him, “What is this dream that you have dreamed? Shall your mother and I and your brothers indeed come to bow down to the earth before you?” 11 And his brothers envied him, but his father kept the matter in mind. 12 Then his brothers went to feed their father’s flock in Shechem. 13 And Israel said to Joseph, “Are not your brothers feeding the flock in Shechem? Come, I will send you to them.” So he said to him, “Here I am.” 14 Then he said to him, “Please go and see if it is well with your brothers and well with the flocks, and bring back word to me.” So he sent him out of the Valley of Hebron, and he went to Shechem. 15 Now a certain man found him, and there he was, wandering in the field. And the man asked him, saying, “What are you seeking?” 16 So he said, “I am seeking my brothers. Please tell me where they are feeding their flocks.” 17 And the man said, “They have departed from here, for I heard them say, ‘Let us go to Dothan.’ “So Joseph went after his brothers and found them in Dothan. 18 Now when they saw him afar off, even before he came near them, they conspired against him to kill him. 19 Then they said to one another, “Look, this

Jakov je boravio u zemlji, gdje je njegov otac bio doæljak, u zemlji Kanaan. 2 Ovo je rodoslovlje Jakovljevo. Josip, mladiø od sedamnaest godina, çuvao je ovce sa svojom braøom i pomagao je sinovima Bilhe i Zilpe, œena svojega oca. Josip bi javljao svojem ocu sve æto bi se o njima loæe govorilo. 3 A Izrael je volio Josipa viæe nego sve svoje sinove, jer je on bio sin njegove starosti. On mu je napravio i haljinu u raznim bojama. 4 A kad su njegova braøa vidjela, da ga njihov otac viæe voli nego svu njegovu braøu, zamrzili su ga, te nisu mogli s njim lijepo govoriti. 5 Jedanput je Josip sanjao i pripovjedio san svojoj braøi, a oni su ga joæ viæe zamrzili. 6 On im je pripovijedao: “Çujte kakav sam imao san! 7 Bili smo ondje i vezali snoplje u polju. Onda gle, moj se snop uspravio i ostao stojeøi, a vaæi se snopovi postavili unaokolo i klanjali se mojem snopu.” 8 Onda su mu njegova braøa rekla: “Ti joæ hoøeæ kraljevati nad nama i vladati s nama?” Tako su ga joæ viæe zamrzili zbog njegovih snova i njegovih rijeçi. 9 Onda je drugi put sanjao i opet san pripovjedio svojoj braøi, i rekao: “Gle, sanjao sam opet jedan san. Ovaj put, sunce, mjesec i jedanaest zvijezda klanjali se meni.” 10 Kad je to pripovjedio svojem ocu i svojoj braøi, ukorio ga njegov otac i rekao mu: “Kakav je to san æto si ga imao? Zar da ja, tvoja majka i tvoja braøa zaista doåemo i da se pred tobom do zemlje poklonimo?” 11 I otada su mu bila njegova braøa zavidna, ali otac je to pamtio. 12 I kad su jedanput njegova braøa otiæla pasti ovce svojega oca kod Æekema, 13 Izrael je rekao Josipu: “Tvoja braøa çuvaju ovce kod Æekema. Doåi, poslat øu te k njima!” A on mu odgovorio: “Evo me!” 14 Onda mu rekao: “Hajde i vidi kako su tvoja braøa i kako je stado pa mi javi!” Tako ga poslao iz Doline hebronske, i on je otiæao u Æekem. 15 Nato ga je neki çovjek naæao i vidio kako luta po polju, Çovjek ga upitao, govoreøi: “Æto traœiæ?” 16 On je odgovorio: “Traœim svoju braøu, pa kaœi mi gdje sad çuvaju stado!” 17 Çovjek je odgovorio: “Otiæli su dalje odavde; çuo sam ih govoriti: ‘Poøi øemo u Dotan.’ ” I otiæao je Josip za svojom braøom i naæao ih u Dotanu. 18 Oni su ga izdaleka opazili, i prije nego im se pribliœio, skovali lukav dogovor protiv njega da ga ubiju. 19 Onda su oni rekli jedan drugomu: “Eno dola-

And the 24 Zgrabili su ga i bacili ga u jamu. A jama je bila prazna; nije bilo vode u njoj. pit was empty; there was no water in it. 25 And they sat down to eat a meal. Then they lifted 25 Onda su sjeli ruçati; pa su podigli svoje oçi i their eyes and looked, and there was a company of pogledali, a to je dolazila povorka Iæmaelaca Ishmaelites, coming from Gilead with their camels, ondje od Gileada s njihovim devama koje su bearing spices, balm, and myrrh, on their way to bile natovarene mirodijama, balsamom i smirnom, na putu da to donesu u Egipat. carry them down to Egypt. 26 So Judah said to his brothers, “What profit is there 26 Juda je rekao svojoj braøi: “Kakva korist ako ubijemo svoga brata i sakrijemo njegovu krv? if we kill our brother and conceal his blood? 27 Come and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and 27 Hajde da ga prodamo Iæmaelcima i da ne let not our hand be upon him, for he is our brother stavljamo ruke na njega, jer je naæ brat i naæe meso.” I njegova braøa su ga posluæala. and our flesh.” And his brothers listened. 28 Then Midianite traders passed by; so the broth- 28 I kad su prolazili midjanski trgovci, izvadili su ers pulled Joseph up and lifted him out of the pit, and Josipa iz jame i prodali ga za dvadeset srebrsold him to the Ishmaelites for twenty shekels of sil- njaka Iæmaelcima. Oni su odveli Josipa u Egipat. 29 Kad se Ruben vratio k jami i vidio da nema ver. And they took Joseph to Egypt. 29 Then Reuben returned to the pit, and indeed Josipa u jami, on je razderao svoje haljine, Joseph was not in the pit; and he tore his clothes. 30 vratio se k svojoj braøi i rekao: “Djeçaka 30 And he returned to his brothers and said, “The lad nema viæe tu, pa kamo øu ja sada?” 31 A oni su uzeli Josipovu haljinu, zaklali jare i is no more; and I, where shall I go?” 31 So they took Joseph’s tunic, killed a kid of the zamoçili haljinu u krv. 32 Onda su poslali haljinu u raznim bojama goats, and dipped the tunic in the blood. 32 Then they sent the tunic of many colors, and they svojem ocu i poruçili mu: “Gle æto smo naæli, vidi brought it to their father and said, “We have found this. je li to haljina tvojega sina ili nije!” Do you know whether it is your son’s tunic or not?” 33 A on ju prepoznao, i rekao: “To je haljina mo33 And he recognized it and said, “It is my son’s tu- jega sina!

It happened at that time that Judah departed from his brothers, and visited a certain Adullamite whose name was Hirah. 2 And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite whose name was Shua, and he married her and went in to her. 3 So she conceived and bore a son, and he called his name Er. 4 She conceived again and bore a son, and she called his name Onan. 5 And she conceived yet again and bore a son, and called his name Shelah. He was at Chezib when she bore him. 6 Then Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, and her name was Tamar. 7 But Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD, and the LORD killed him. 8 And Judah said to Onan, “Go in to your brother’s wife and marry her, and raise up an heir to your brother.”

Dogodilo se u ono vrijeme da je Juda otiæao od svoje braøe i posjetio nekoga çovjeka iz Adulamita po imenu Hira. 2 Ondje je Juda vidio køer nekog Kanaanca, komu je bilo ime Æua; on ju uzeo za œenu i œivio je s njom. 3 Ona je zatrudnjela i rodila sina, i on mu nadjenuo ime Er. 4 Ona je opet zatrudnjela i rodila sina i nadjenula mu ime Onan. 5 Ona je zatrudnjela joæ jedanput i rodila joæ jednoga sina, komu je nadjenula ime Æelah. Bilo je u Kezibu gdje ga je rodila. 6 I Juda je uzeo œenu za svojega prvoroåenca Era po imenu Tamaru. 7 Ali Er, prvoroåenac Judin, nije bio po volji Gospodinu i Gospodin ga ubio. 8 Onda je rekao Juda Onanu: “Œivi sa œenom svojega brata i çini duœnost djevera da pribaviæ potomke svojem bratu!”

-51Genesis Postanak 9 But Onan knew that the heir would not be his; And 9 A Onan je znao da djeca ne bi pripadala njeit happened, when he went in to his brother’s wife, mu, prosipao bi Onan sjeme na zemlju kad bi that he emitted on the ground, lest he should give an bio sa œenom svojega brata da nije dao potomaka svojem bratu. heir to his brother. 10 And the thing which he did displeased the LORD; 10 A Gospodinu je bilo mrsko æto je çinio, pa zato je i njega ubio. therefore he killed him also. 11 Then Judah said to Tamar his daughter-in-law, 11 I rekao je Juda snahi svojoj Tamari: “Prebi“Remain a widow in your father’s house till my son vaj kao udovica u kuøi svojega oca dok pooShelah is grown.” For he said, “Lest he also die as his draste moj sin Æelah!” On se, naime, bojao da brothers did.” And Tamar went and dwelt in her fa- bi mogao i ovaj umrijeti kao njegova braøa.

So she said, “What bila snaha. A ona je rekla: “Æto øeæ mi dati da ti da mi uåeæ?” will you give me, that you may come in to me?” 17 And he said, “I will send you a young goat from the 17 On je odgovorio: “Poslat øu ti jare od stada.” flock.” And she said, “Will you give me a pledge till Ona je rekla: “Ali da mi dadeæ zalog dok ga poæaljeæ.” you send it?” 18 Then he said, “What pledge shall I give you?” So 18 Tada je on rekao: “Kakav zalog da ti dam?” she said, “Your signet and cord, and your staff that is Ona je odgovorila: “Svoj peçatni prsten s vrpin your hand.” Then he gave them to her, and went in com i svoj ætap æto ti je u ruci.” Onda joj je on to dao i uæao k njoj, i po njemu je zatrudnjela. to her, and she conceived by him. 19 So she arose and went away, and laid aside her 19 Ona je ustala i otiæla, svukla svoju koprenu i veil and put on the garments of her widowhood. odjenula opet svoju udoviçku odjeøu. 20 And Judah sent the young goat by the hand of his 20 Juda je poslao jare po svojem prijatelju Adufriend the Adullamite, to receive his pledge from the lamejcu, da natrag dobije od œene zalog, ali ju woman’s hand, but he did not find her. on nije naæao. 21 Then he asked the men of that place, saying, 21 Onda je pitao ljude njezina mjesta, govoreøi: “Where is the harlot who was openly by the road- “Gdje je ona bludnica æto obiçno sjedi u Enaimu side?” And they said, “There was no harlot in this na putu?” A oni su mu odgovorili: “Nije ovdje place.” bilo bludnice.” 22 And he returned to Judah and said, “I cannot find 22 I vratio se on k Judi i rekao: “Ne mogu ju naøi, her.

Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. And Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him down there. 2 The LORD was with Joseph, and he was a successful man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian. 3 And his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD made all he did to prosper in his hand. 4 So Joseph found favor in his sight, and served him. Then he made him overseer of his house, and all that he had he put in his hand. 5 So it was, from the time that he had made him overseer of his house and all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; and the blessing of the LORD was on all that he had in the house and in the field. 6 So he left all that he had in Joseph’s hand, and he did not know what he had except for the bread which he ate. And Joseph was handsome in form and appearance. 7 Now it happened after these things that his master’s wife cast longing eyes on Joseph, and she said, “Lie with me.” 8 But he refused and said to his master’s wife, “Look, my master does not know what is with me in the house, and he has committed all that he has to my hand. 9 There is no one greater in this house than I, nor has he kept back anything from me but you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?” 10 And so it was, as she spoke to Joseph day by day, that he did not heed her, to lie with her or to be with her. 11 But it happened about this time, when Joseph went into the house to do his work, and none of the men of the house was inside, 12 that she caught him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me.” But he left his garment in her hand, and fled and ran outside. 13 And so it was, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and fled outside, 14 that she called to the men of her house and spoke to them, saying, “See, he has brought in to us a Hebrew to mock us. He came in to me to lie with me, and I cried out with a loud voice. 15 And it happened, when he heard that I lifted my voice and cried out, that he left his garment with me, and fled and went outside.” 16 So she kept his garment with her until his master came home. 17 Then she spoke to him with words like these, saying, “The Hebrew servant whom you brought to us came in to me to mock me; 18 so it happened, as I lifted my voice and cried out, that he left his garment with me and fled outside.” 19 So it was, when his master heard the words which his wife spoke to him, saying, “Your servant did to me after this manner,” that his anger was aroused. 20 Then Joseph’s master took him and put him into the prison, a place where the king’s prisoners were confined. And he was there in the prison. 21 But the LORD was with Joseph and showed him mercy, and he gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison. 22 And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand all the prisoners who were in the

Josip u kuøi Potifarovoj

Josipa su doveli u Egipat. I Potifar, dvoranin faraonov, zapovjednik tjelesne straœe, Egipøanin, kupio ga od Iæmaelaca, koji su ga ondje doveli. 2 A Gospodin je bio s Josipom, te mu je sve iælo za rukom. Ostao je on tako u kuøi svojega gospodara Egipøanina. 3 Njegov gospodar je vidio da je Gospodin s njim i da je Gospodin po njegovoj ruci davao uspjeh svim njegovim djelima. 4 Tako je Josip naæao milost u njegovim oçima, dvorio ga, i on ga postavio upraviteljem svoje kuøe i povjerio mu sve svoje imanje. 5 I otkada ga je postavio upraviteljem svoje kuøe i svega svojega imanja, otada je Bog blagoslovio kuøu tomu Egipøaninu zbog Josipa, i blagoslov Gospodinov bio je na svemu æto je imao u kuøi i u polju. 6 Zato je on povjerio sve svoje imanje rukama Josipovim i uz njega nije se viæe brinuo ni za æto, osim za jelo æto bi ga blagovao. A Josip je bio krasna stasa i lijepa lica. 7 I dogodilo se, poslije nekog vremena œena njegova gospodara zagledala se u Josipa i rekla mu: “Legni sa mnom.” 8 Ali je on to odbio i rekao œeni svojega gospodara: “Eto, moj gospodar se ne brine za mene ni za æto u kuøi i sve æto posjeduje meni je povjerio. 9 Sam nije veøi od mene u ovoj kuøi i niæta mi ne uskraøuje osim tebe, jer si mu œena. Pa kako bi ja mogao uçiniti tako grdno zlo i sagrijeæiti protiv Boga?” 10 I tako je ona dan na dan govorila Josipu, on ju nije posluæao, da legne s njom i da bi bio s njom. 11 A kad je jednoga dana Josip doæao u kuøu na svoj posao, a nije bilo nikoga od ukuøana unutra, 12 uhvatila ga ona za njegovu haljinu, govoreøi: “Legni sa mnom!” A on je pustio svoju haljinu u njezinoj ruci, pobjegao i otrçao van. 13 Kad je ona vidjela da je pustio svoju haljinu u njezinoj ruci i pobjegao van, 14 pozvala je svoje sluge i govorila im, govoreøi: “Vidite, on nam je doveo Hebrejca da nas sramoti. On je uæao k meni da legne sa mnom, a ja sam glasno povikala. 15 A kad je on çuo da sam glasno povikala, ostavio je svoju haljinu pokraj mene, pobjegao je i otrçao van.” 16 I ona je stavila njegovu haljinu uz sebe dok njegov gospodar doåe kuøi. 17 Onda mu je pripovijedila isto, govoreøi: “Hebrejac sluga koga si nam doveo, uæao je k meni da me osramoti. 18 Ali kad sam ja povikala iza glasa, on je ostavio svoju haljinu kod mene i pobjegao van.” 19 A kad je çuo njegov gospodar svoje rijeçi œene æto mu ih je izgovorila, govoreøi: “Tako mi je uçinio tvoj sluga,” i jako se razljutio. 20 Tada ga je Gospodar Josipov uhvatio i bacio u tamnicu gdje su leœali kraljevi suœnji. I on je leœao ondje u tamnici. 21 Ali je Gospodin bio s Josipom, iskazao mu milost, i stekao mu naklonost tamniçarovu. 22 I tamniçar je povjerio Josipu sve suœnje koji su bili u tamnici; sve æto bi se ondje vræilo, vræilo

It happened after these things that the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt offended their lord, the king of Egypt. 2 And Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief butler and the chief baker. 3 So he put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, in the prison, the place where Joseph was confined. 4 And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them; so they were in custody for a while. 5 Then the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were confined in the prison, dreamed a dream, both of them, each man’s dream in one night and each man’s dream with its own interpretation. 6 And Joseph came in to them in the morning and looked at them, and saw that they were sad. 7 So he asked Pharaoh’s officers who were with him in the custody of his lord’s house, saying, “Why do you look so sad today?” 8 And they said to him, “We each have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it.” And Joseph said to them, “Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell them to me, please.” 9 Then the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, “Behold, in my dream a vine was before me, 10 and in the vine were three branches; it was as though it budded, its blossoms shot forth, and its clusters brought forth ripe grapes. 11 Then Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand; and I took the grapes and pressed them into Pharaoh’s cup, and placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand.” 12 And Joseph said to him, “This is the interpretation of it: The three branches are three days. 13 Now within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your place, and you will put Pharaoh’s cup in his hand according to the former manner, when you were his butler. 14 But remember me when it is well with you, and please show kindness to me; make mention of me to Pharaoh, and get me out of this house. 15 For indeed I was stolen away from the land of the Hebrews; and also I have done nothing here that they should put me into the dungeon.” 16 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, “I also was in my dream, and there I had three white baskets on my head. 17 In the uppermost basket there were all kinds of baked goods for Pharaoh, and the birds ate them out of the basket on my head.” 18 So Joseph answered and said, “This is the interpretation of it: The three baskets are three days. 19 Within three days Pharaoh will lift off your head from you and hang you on a tree; and the birds will eat your flesh from you.” 20 Now it happened on the third day, which was Pharaoh’s birthday, that he made a feast for all his servants; and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants. 21 Then he restored the chief butler to his butlership again, and he placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand. 22 But he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them. 23 Yet the chief butler did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.

Dogodilo se poslije toga da su skrivili peharnik i pekar egipatskog kralja svojem gospodaru, egipatskom kralju. 2 I faraon se razljutio na svoja dva dvoranina, na glavnog peharnika i na glavnog pekara. 3 Dao ih u kuøi zapovjednika tjelesne straœe baciti u istu tamnicu u kojoj je Josip bio zatvoren. 4 Zapovjednik tjelesne straœe im je odredio Josipa da ih posluœuje; tako su bili duœe vremena u tamnici. 5 Onda su peharnik i pekar egipatskog kralja, koji su bili zatvoreni u tamnici sanjali san, obojica; san od svakoga iste noøi i san od svakoga od njih imao je svoje znaçenje. 6 Kad je sutradan Josip doæao k njima, opazio je da su œalosni. 7 On je upitao dvorane faraonove koji su bili s njim zatvoreni u kuøi njegova gospodara: “Zaæto su vam lica danas tako œalosna?” 8 Oni su mu odgovorili: “Sanjali smo san, a za to nema tumaça.” A Josip im je rekao: “Ne spada li tumaçenje na Boga? Hajde, pripovjedite mi ih!” 9 Onda je glavni peharnik ispripovjedio Josipu svoj san, govoreøi: “Vidio sam u snu pred sobom çokot, 10 a na çokotu su bile tri loze; izgledalo je kao da je napupao, procvao i groœåe na njemu sazrelo u isti ças. 11 Tada je u mojoj ruci bila çaæa faraonova i ja sam uzeo groœåe, iscijedio ga u çaæu faraonovu i dao sam çaæu faraonu u ruku.” 12 Josip mu je rekao: “Tumaçenje toga je ovo: tri loze tri su dana. 13 Sada u iduøa tri dana faraon øe uzdiøi tvoju glavu i vratiti te u tvoju sluœbu, i ti øeæ davati çaæu faraonu posve kao i prije dok si mu bio peharnik. 14 Ali se sjeti mene kad ti bude dobro, pa mi uçini uslugu i spomeni me faraonu da me izbavi iz ove kuøe. 15 Jer zaista sam silom odveden iz zemlje Hebreja, a i ovdje nisam poçinio niæta za æto bi me se moralo baciti u tamnicu.” 16 Kad je glavni pekar vidio kako je tumaçenje bilo dobro rekao je Josipu: “I ja sam sanjao, imao sam na svojoj glavi tri bijele koæarice. 17 U najgornjoj koæarici bilo je svakojakih peciva za faraona, ali su ih ptice jele iz koæarice na mojoj glavi.” 18 Rekao je Josip, govoreøi: “Tumaçenje toga je ovo: tri koæarice tri su dana. 19 U iduøa tri dana faraon øe uzdiøi sa tebe tvoju glavu i objesit øe te na vjeæala, a ptice øe s tebe jesti meso.” 20 I dogodilo treøega dana, a to je bio faraonov roåendan, pripremio je on gozbu za sve svoje sluœbenike; i uzdigao glavu glavnom peharniku i glavnom pekaru izmeåu svojih sluga. 21 Glavnog peharnika je postavio opet u njegovu sluœbu, i on je stavljao çaæu ruku faraonu. 22 A glavnog pekara dao je objesiti, posve prema tumaçenju æto im ga je dao Josip. 23 Ali glavni peharnik se nije sjetio Josipa, nego ga zaboravio.

The famine was in all lands, but in ali u cijeloj zemlji Egipat bilo je kruha. 55 A kad je poçela gladovati i sva egipatska all the land of Egypt there was bread. 55 So when all the land of Egypt was famished, the zemlja, narod je zavapio faraonu za kruh; a people cried to Pharaoh for bread. Then Pharaoh faraon je uputio sve Egipøane: “Idite k Josipu i said to all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph; whatever he æto vam on rekne, to çinite!” 56 Glad je bila po cijeloj povræini zemlje, a Josip says to you, do.” 56 The famine was over all the face of the earth, and je dao otvoriti sve œitnice i prodavao je œito EgiJoseph opened all the storehouses and sold to the pøanima.

When Jacob saw that there was grain in Egypt, Jacob said to his sons, “Why do you look at one another?” 2 And he said, “Indeed I have heard that there is grain in Egypt; go down to that place and buy for us there, that we may live and not die.” 3 So Joseph’s ten brothers went down to buy grain in Egypt. 4 But Jacob did not send Joseph’s brother Benjamin with his brothers, for he said, “Lest some calamity befall him.” 5 And the sons of Israel went to buy grain among those who journeyed, for the famine was in the land of Canaan. 6 Now Joseph was governor over the land; and it was he who sold to all the people of the land. And Joseph’s brothers came and bowed down before him with their faces to the earth. 7 Joseph saw his brothers and recognized them, but he acted as a stranger to them and spoke roughly to them. Then he said to them, “Where do you come from?” And they said, “From the land of Canaan to buy food.” 8 So Joseph recognized his brothers, but they did not recognize him. 9 Then Joseph remembered the dreams which he had dreamed about them, and said to them, “You are spies! You have come to see the nakedness of the land!” 10 And they said to him, “No, my lord, but your servants have come to buy food. 11 We are all one man’s sons; we are honest men; your servants are not spies.” 12 But he said to them, “No, but you have come to see the nakedness of the land.” 13 And they said, “Your servants are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and in fact, the youngest is with our father today, and one is no more.” 14 But Joseph said to them, “It is as I spoke to you, saying, ‘You are spies!’ 15 In this manner you shall be tested: By the life of Pharaoh, you shall not leave this place unless your youngest brother comes here. 16 Send one of you, and let him bring your brother; and you shall be kept in prison, that your words may be tested to see whether there is any truth in you; or else, by the life of Pharaoh, surely you are spies!”

Braøa Josipova idu prvi put u Egipat

Kad je Jakov çuo da ima œita u Egiptu, Jakov je rekao svojim sinovima: “Æto tu zurite jedan u drugoga?” 2 I joæ je rekao: “Zaista çuo sam da ima œita u Egiptu. Idite i kupite nam ondje œita da ostanemo na œivotu i ne pomremo!” 3 I tako su desetorica braøe Josipove siæli kupiti œita u Egiptu. 4 Ali Benjamina, brata Josipova, nije Jakov poslao s njegovom braøom, jer je rekao: “Da ga ne bi snaæla kakva nesreøa.” 5 I tako su doæli meåu drugima, koji su pridolazili, i Izraelovi sinovi da bi kupili œita, jer je i u zemlji Kanaanaca vladala glad. 6 A Josip je bio upravitelj u zemlji; on je bio koji je prodavao œito svima ljudima u zemlji. I Josipova braøa su doæla i poklonila se pred njim sve do zemlje. 7 Josip je vidio svoju braøu i prepoznao ih, ali se uçinio kao stranac, oætro se otresao na njih i rekao im: “Odakle dolazite?” Oni su odgovorili: “Iz zemlje Kanaan, da bi kupili œita.” 8 A Josip je prepoznao svoju braøu, a oni njega nisu prepoznali. 9 Onda se Josip sjetio snova koje je nekoø sanjao o njima, i rekao im: “Vi ste uhode, i dolazite ovamo da izvidite gdje zemlja ima slabo mjesto!” 10 Oni su mu odgovorili: “Ne, gospodaru, nego su tvoje sluge doæle kupiti œita. 11 Svi smo mi sinovi jednoga çovjeka, mi smo poæteni ljudi; tvoje sluge nisu uhode.” 12 Ali im je on rekao: “Ne, nego ste doæli da izvidite gdje ima zemlja slabo mjesto.” 13 Oni su rekli: “Dvanaest je tvojih sluga, svi smo braøa, sinovi jednoga çovjeka u zemlji Kanaanaca, ali eto, najmlaåi je sada s naæim ocem, a jednoga viæe nema.” 14 A Josip im rekao: “Kako sam vam rekao tako jest, govoreøi vam: ‘Vi ste uhode!’ 15 O tom øete biti iskuæani: tako mi œivoga faraona, neøete iziøi odavde dok ne doåe ovamo vaæ najmlaåi brat. 16 Poæaljite jednoga izmeåu sebe da dovede vaæega brata, a vi drugi idete u zatvor, da se ispitaju vaæe izjave, je li istina kod vas ili nije. Inaçe, tako mi œivoga faraona, vi ste uhode!”

And he commanded the steward of his house, saying, “Fill the men’s sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put each man’s money in the mouth of his sack. 2 Also put my cup, the silver cup, in the mouth of the sack of the youngest, and his grain money.” So he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken. 3 As soon as the morning dawned, the men were sent away, they and their donkeys. 4 And when they had gone out of the city, and were not yet far off, Joseph said to his steward, “Get up, follow the men; and when you overtake them, say to them, ‘Why have you repaid evil for good? 5 Is not this the one from which my lord drinks, and with which he indeed practices divination? You have done evil in so doing.’ ” 6 So he overtook them, and he spoke to them these same words. 7 And they said to him, “Why does my lord say these words? Far be it from us that your servants should do such a thing. 8 Look, we brought back to you from the land of Canaan the money which we found in the mouth of our sacks. How then could we steal silver or gold from your lord’s house? 9 With whomever of your servants it is found, let him die, and we also will be my lord’s slaves.” 10 And he said, “Now also let it be according to your words; he with whom it is found shall be my slave, and you shall be blameless.” 11 Then each man speedily let down his sack to the ground, and each opened his sack.

Josip ponovno kuæa braøu

Nije li to çaæa iz koje pije moj gospodar i iz koje on proriçe? Tako radeøi zlo ste poçinili.’ ” 6 Tako ih je on stigao i izgovorio im te iste rijeçi. 7 A oni su mu rekli: “Kako moœe gospodar takvo æto reøi? Boœe saçuvaj da tvoje sluge uçine takvo æto. 8 A mi smo ti donijeli natrag iz zemlje Kanaan novce koje smo naæli odozgor u svojim vreøama. Pa kako bismo mogli ukrasti iz kuøe tvojega gospodara srebro ili zlato? 9 U koga se od tvojih sluga naåe, taj neka umre, a mi øemo, dragi gospodaru, biti tvoji robovi.” 10 I on je rekao: “Sada neka bude tako kako ste rekli; a onaj kod koga øe se naøi bit øe moj rob, a vi ostali bit øete slobodni” 11 Tada je brœe skinuo svaki svoju vreøu na tlo, i svaki je otvorio svoju vreøu.

So Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beer-Sheba, and offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac. 2 Then God spoke to Israel in the visions of the night, and said, “Jacob, Jacob!” And he said, “Here I am.” 3 And he said, “I am God, the God of your father; do not fear to go down to Egypt, for I will make of you a great nation there. 4 I will go down with you to Egypt, and I will also surely bring you up again; and Joseph will put his hand on your eyes.” 5 Then Jacob arose from Beer-Sheba; and the sons of Israel carried their father Jacob, their little ones, and their wives, in the carts which Pharaoh had sent to carry him. 6 So they took their livestock and their goods, which they had acquired in the land of Canaan, and went to Egypt, Jacob and all his descendants with him. 7 His sons and his sons’ sons, his daughters and his sons’ daughters, and all his descendants he brought with him to Egypt. 8 Now these were the names of the sons of Israel, Jacob and his sons, who went to Egypt: Reuben was Jacob’s firstborn. 9 The sons of Reuben were Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi. 10 The sons of Simeon were Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar, and Shaul, the son of a Canaanite woman. 11 The sons of Levi were Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. 12 The sons of Judah were Er, Onan, Shelah, Perez, and Zerah (but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan). The sons of Perez were Hezron and Hamul. 13 The sons of Issachar were Tola, Puvah, Job, and Shimron. 14 The sons of Zebulun were Sered, Elon, and Jahleel. 15 These were the sons of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob in Padan-Aram, with his daughter Dinah. All the persons, his sons and his daughters, were thirtythree. 16 The sons of Gad were Ziphion, Haggi, Shuni, Ezbon, Eri, Arodi, and Areli. 17 The sons of Asher were Jimnah, Ishuah, Isui, Beriah, and Serah, their sister. And the sons of Beriah were Heber and Malchiel. 18 These were the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah his daughter; and these she bore to Jacob: sixteen persons. 19 The sons of Rachel, Jacob’s wife, were Joseph and Benjamin. 20 And to Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, whom Asenath, the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On, bore to him. 21 The sons of Benjamin were Belah, Becher, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, Ehi, Rosh, Muppim, Huppim, and Ard.

Jakov se seli u Egipat

Tako se zaputio Izrael sa svim æto je imao i doæao u Beer-Æebu, te prineo œrtvu Bogu svojega oca Izaka. 2 Onda je Bog progovorio Izraelu u jednom noønom viåenju, i pozvao ga: “Jakove, Jakove!” A on je rekao: “Evo me!” 3 On je rekao: “Ja sam Bog, Bog tvojega oca. Ne boj se otiøi u Egipat jer øu te ondje uçiniti velikim narodom. 4 Ja øu iøi s tobom u Egipat, i ja øu te zaista opet dovesti natrag; a Josip øe ti svojom rukom zaklopiti oçi.” 5 Onda se Jakov dignuo iz Beer-Æebe. Izraelovi sinovi su posadili svojega oca Jakova, svoju djecu i svoje œene na kola koja je poslao faraon da ga dovezu. 6 Uzeli su sobom i svoja stada i svoje imanje koje su bili stekli u zemlji Kanaanaca. Tako su doæli Jakov i sve njegovo potomstvo u Egipat. 7 Svoje sinove i unuke, svoje køeri i køeri svojih sinova i sve svoje potomstvo doveo je sobom u Egipat. 8 A ovo su imena djece Izraelove æto su doæli u Egipat, Jakovljeve i njegovih sinova: Jakovljev prvoroåenac bio je Ruben. 9 Rubenovi sinovi bili su: Henok, Palu, Hezron i Karmi. 10 Simeonovi sinovi bili su: Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jakin, Zohar i Æaul, sin od jedne Kanaanke. 11 Levijevi sinovi bili su: Geræon, Kohat i Merari. 12 Judini sinovi bili su: Er, Onan, Æelah, Perez i Zerah; (ali Er i Onan su umrli u zemlji Kanaanaca). Peresovi sinovi bili su: Hezron i Hamul. 13 Isakarovi sinovi bili su: Tola, Puah, Jaæub i Æimron. 14 Zebulunovi sinovi bili su: Sered, Elon i Jahleel. 15 To su Leini sinovi koje je ona bila rodila Jakovu u Mezopotamiji, uz njegovu køer Dinu. Svih osoba, njegovi sinovi i køeri, bilo je trideset i tri. 16 Gadovi sinovi bili su: Zifion, Hagi, Æuni, Ezbon, Eri, Arodi i Areli. 17 Aæerovi sinovi bili su: Jimna, Iæuah, Isui i Beriah i sestra njihova Serah. Beriahovi sinovi bili su: Heber i Malkiel. 18 To su bili Zilpini sinovi koju je Laban dao svojoj køeri Lei; ona ih je rodila Jakovu: svega æesnaest osoba. 19 Sinovi Rahele, œene Jakovljeve bili su: Josip i Benjamin. 20 Josipu su se rodili u zemlji Egipat Manaseh i Efraim koje mu je rodila Asenata, køi PotiFere, sveøenika u Onu. 21 Benjaminovi sinovi bili su: Belah, Beker, Aæbel, Gera, Naaman, Ehi, Roæ, Mupim, Hupim i Ard.

-63Genesis Postanak 22 These were the sons of Rachel, who were born to 22 To su bili Rahelini sinovi koje je ona rodila Jakovu: svega çetrnaest osoba. Jacob: fourteen persons in all. 23 Danov sin bio je Huæim. 23 The son of Dan was Hushim. 24 The sons of Naphtali were Jahzeel, Guni, Jezer, 24 Naftalijevi sinovi bili su: Jahzeel, Guni, Jezer i Æilem. and Shillem. 25 These were the sons of Bilhah, whom Laban gave 25 To su Bilhini sinovi, koju je Laban dao svojoj to Rachel his daughter, and she bore these to Jacob: køeri Raheli: ona ih je rodila Jakovu, svega sedam osoba. seven persons in all. 26 All the persons who went with Jacob to Egypt, 26 Svih osoba æto su s Jakovom iæli u Egipat, who came from his body, besides Jacob’s sons’ koji su izaæli iz njegova tijela, bez œena Jakovljevih sinova, bilo je u svemu æezdeset i æest. wives, were sixty-six persons in all. 27 And the sons of Joseph who were born to him in 27 Josipovi sinovi koji su mu se rodili u Egiptu Egypt were two persons. All the persons of the house bili su dvojica.

Then Joseph went and told Pharaoh, and said, “My father and my brothers, their flocks and their herds and all that they possess, have come from the land of Canaan; and indeed they are in the land of Goshen.” 2 And he took five men from among his brothers and presented them to Pharaoh. 3 Then Pharaoh said to his brothers, “What is your occupation?” And they said to Pharaoh, “Your servants are shepherds, both we and also our fathers.” 4 And they said to Pharaoh, “We have come to sojourn in the land, because your servants have no pasture for their flocks, for the famine is severe in the land of Canaan. Now therefore, please let your servants dwell in the land of Goshen.” 5 Then Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, “Your father and your brothers have come to you. 6 The land of Egypt is before you. Have your father and brothers dwell in the best of the land; let them dwell in the land of Goshen. And if you know any competent men among them, then make them chief herdsmen over my livestock.” 7 Then Joseph brought in his father Jacob and set him before Pharaoh; and Jacob blessed Pharaoh. 8 Pharaoh said to Jacob, “How old are you?” 9 And Jacob said to Pharaoh, “The days of the years of my pilgrimage are one hundred and thirty years; few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and they have not attained to the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.” 10 So Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from before Pharaoh. 11 And Joseph situated his father and his brothers,

Jakov i njegovi sinovi pred faraonom

Tada je Josip otiæao i javio faraonu, govoreøi: “Moj otac i moja braøa sa svojim ovcama, i svojim govedima, i svim svojim imanjem doæli su iz zemlje Kanaan i eno ih u zemlji Goæen.” 2 Petoricu od svoje braøe bio je uzeo sobom, pa ih predstavio faraonu. 3 A kad je faraon upitao njegovu braøu: “Kakvo je vaæe zanimanje?” Odgovorili su faraonu: “Pastiri su tvoje sluge, mi kao i naæi oçevi.” 4 Joæ su rekli faraonu: “Doæli smo da se ovdje u zemlji jedno vrijeme zadrœimo, tvoje sluge viæe ne nalaze paæe za svoja stada, jer glad teæko pritiæçe zemlju Kanaan. Stoga dopusti da tvoje sluge smiju ostati u zemlji Goæen.” 5 Onda je progovorio faraon Josipu, govoreøi: “Tvoj otac i tvoja braøa su doæli k tebi. 6 Zemlja Egipat je pred tobom, pa naseli svojega oca i svoju braøu u najboljem dijelu zemlje, i neka borave u zemlji Goæen. A ako naåeæ meåu njima sposobnih ljudi, postavio ih za nadglednike nad mojim vlastitim blagom.” 7 Onda je Josip doveo svojega oca Jakova pred faraona; i Jakov je blagoslovio faraona. 8 Faraon je rekao Jakovu: “Koliko ti je godina?” 9 Jakov je odgovorio faraonu: “Godina mojega putovanja ima stotina i trideset godina; malo ih je na broju, a zle su bile godine mojega œivota, i nisu dostigle godina œivota mojih otaca koje su oni proveli na svojem putovanju.” 10 Tako je Jakov opet blagoslovio faraona i otiæao ispred faraona. 11 A Josip je smjestio svojega oca i svoju braøu

Now it happened after these things that Joseph was told, “Indeed your father is sick”; and he took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim. 2 And Jacob was told, “Look, your son Joseph is coming to you”; and Israel strengthened himself and sat up on the bed. 3 Then Jacob said to Joseph: “God Almighty appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan and blessed me, 4 and said to me, ‘Behold, I will make you fruitful and multiply you, and I will make of you a multitude of people, and give this land to your descendants after you as an everlasting possession.’ 5 And now your two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, who were born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you in Egypt, are mine; as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine. 6 Your offspring whom you beget after them shall be yours, and will be called by the name of their brothers in their inheritance. 7 But as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died beside me in the land of Canaan on the way, when there was but a little distance to go to Ephrath; and I buried her there on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).” 8 Then Israel saw Joseph’s sons, and said, “Who are these?” 9 And Joseph said to his father, “They are my sons, whom God has given me in this place.” And he said, “Please bring them to me, and I will bless them.” 10 Now the eyes of Israel were dim with age, so that he could not see. Then Joseph brought them near him, and he kissed them and embraced them. 11 And Israel said to Joseph, “I had not thought to see your face; but in fact, God has also shown me your offspring!” 12 So Joseph brought them from beside his knees, and he bowed down with his face to the earth. 13 And Joseph took them both, Ephraim with his right hand toward Israel’s left hand, and Manasseh with his left hand toward Israel’s right hand, and brought them near him. 14 Then Israel stretched out his right hand and laid it on Ephraim’s head, who was the younger, and his left hand on Manasseh’s head, guiding his hands knowingly, for Manasseh was the firstborn. 15 And he blessed Joseph, and said: “God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, the God who has fed me all my life long to this day, 16 the Angel who has redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; let my name be named upon them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.” 17 Now when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand on the head of Ephraim, it displeased him; so he took hold of his father’s hand to remove it from Ephraim’s head to Manasseh’s head. 18 And Joseph said to his father, “Not so, my father, for this one is the firstborn; put your right hand on his head.” 19 But his father refused and said, “I know, my son, I know.

Dogodilo se nakon nekog vremena da su javili su Josipu: “Doista otac ti je bolestan.” Onda je on uzeo sobom svoja oba sina Manaseha i Efraima. 2 Javili su Jakovu: “Tvoj sin Josip dolazi k tebi”, Izrael je skupio svoju snagu i sjeo na postelji. 3 Tada je Jakov rekao Josipu: “Bog Svemoøni, objavio mi se u Luzu u zemlji Kanaan, i blagoslovio me, 4 i rekao mi: ‘Uçinit øu te plodnim i umnoœit øu te i uçinit øu te mnoætvom naroda i dat øu ovu zemlju tvojem potomstvu nakon tebe u vjeçni posjed.’ 5 A sada tvoja oba sina koja su ti se rodila u zemlji Egipat, i prije nego sam doæao k tebi u Egipat, neka budu moji–Efraim i Manaseh neka budu moji kao Ruben i Simeon! 6 A djeca koja su ti se rodila poslije njih neka budu tvoja, a po imenu svoje braøe neka se zovu u svojem baætinstvu. 7 A ja, kad sam doæao iz Mezopotamije, umrla je Rahela pokraj mene u zemlji Kanaan na putu kad je joæ ostalo samo malo puta do Efrate, i ja sam ju ondje pokopao na putu u Efratu, (a to je Betlehem).” 8 Kad je Izrael vidio Josipove sinova, upitao je: “Tko su ovi?” 9 Josip je rekao svojem ocu: “To su moji sinovi koje mi je Bog ovdje darovao.” On je rekao: “Molim, privedi ih k meni da ih blagoslovim!” 10 Oçi Izraela bile su oslabile zbog starosti tako da nije viæe mogao dobro vidjeti. Tada ih je Josip priveo bliœe, on ih je poljubio i zagrlio. 11 Izrael je rekao Josipu: “Nisam mislio da øu te opet vidjeti, a eto, Bog mi je dao vidjeti joæ i tvoje potomke.” 12 A Josip ih je odmaknuo od njegovih koljena i prignuo se pred njim sve do zemlje. 13 Nato je Josip uzeo obojicu, Efraima svojom desnicom, tako da je stajao Izraelu slijeva, i Manaseha svojom ljevicom, tako da je stajao Izraelu zdesna, i poveo ih k njemu. 14 Izrael je pruœio svoju desnicu i stavio je na glavu Efraimovu, iako je bio mlaåi, a svoju ljevicu na glavu Manasehovu, drœeøi ruke unakrst, iako je Manaseh bio prvoroåenac. 15 I on je blagoslovio Josipa, govoreøi: “Bog pred çijim su licem hodili moji oçevi Abraham i Izak, Bog koji me hranio svega mojega œivota do danaænjega dana, 16 Anåeo koji me izbavljao iz svake nevolje, blagoslovi ove djeçake; na njima neka bude moje ime i ime mojih otaca Abrahama i Izaka; i u mnoætva neka se namnoœe po zemlji!” 17 Kad je Josip vidio da je njegov otac stavio svoju desnicu na glavu Efraimovu, bilo mu je krivo, pa je prihvatio ruku svojega oca da ju premjesti s glave Efraimove na glavu Manasehovu. 18 Pritom je Josip rekao svojem ocu: “Ne tako, oçe moj, ovaj je prvoroåenac, pa stavi svoju desnicu na njegovu glavu!” 19 A njegov otac je to odbio i rekao: “Znam ja, moj sine, znam! I on øe postati narod, i on øe biti velik, ali njegov mlaåi brat bit øe veøi od njega, i

And Jacob called his sons and said, “Gather together, that I may tell you what shall befall you in the last days: 2 Gather together and hear, you sons of Jacob, and listen to Israel your father. 3 Reuben, you are my firstborn, my might and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity and the excellency of power. 4 Unstable as water, you shall not excel, because you went up to your father’s bed; then you defiled it– he went up to my couch. 5 Simeon and Levi are brothers; instruments of cruelty are in their habitation. 6 Let not my soul enter their council; let not my honor be united to their assembly; for in their anger they slew a man, and in their self-will they hamstrung an ox. 7 Cursed be their anger, for it is fierce; and their wrath, for it is cruel! I will divide them in Jacob and scatter them in Israel. 8 Judah, you are he whom your brothers shall praise; your hand shall be on the neck of your enemies; your father’s children shall bow down before you. 9 Judah is a lion’s whelp; from the prey, my son, you have gone up. He bows down, he lies down as a lion; and as a lion, who shall rouse him? 10 The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh comes; and to him shall be the obedience of the people. 11 Binding his donkey to the vine, and his donkey’s colt to the choice vine, he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes. 12 His eyes are darker than wine, and his teeth whiter than milk. 13 Zebulun shall dwell by the haven of the sea; he shall become a haven for ships, and his border shall adjoin Sidon. 14 Issachar is a strong donkey, lying down between two burdens; 15 he saw that rest was good, and that the land was pleasant; he bowed his shoulder to bear a burden, and became a band of slaves. 16 Dan shall judge his people as one of the tribes of Israel. 17 Dan shall be a serpent by the way, a viper by the path, that bites the horse’s heels so that its rider shall fall backward. 18 I have waited for your salvation, O LORD! 19 Gad, a troop shall tramp upon him, but he shall triumph at last. 20 Bread from Asher shall be rich, and he shall yield royal dainties. 21 Naphtali is a deer let loose; he gives goodly words. 22 Joseph is a fruitful bough, a fruitful bough by a well; his branches run over the wall. 23 The archers have bitterly grieved him, shot at him and hated him. 24 But his bow remained in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the

Jakovljev blagoslov

Zatim je Jakov dozvao svoje sinove i rekao: “Skupite se da vam javim æto øe vas snaøi u kasnije dane! 2 Skupite se i posluæajte, Jakovljevi sinovi, posluæajte Izraela svojega oca! 3 Rubene, ti si moj prvoroåenac, moja jakost i prvina moje muæke snage, odliçan u dostojanstvu, odliçan u snazi. 4 Nesiguran kao voda, neøeæ imati prvenstva, jer si otiæao u postelju svojega oca, onda ju oskvrnuo–u moju postelju se popeo. 5 Simeon i Levi braøa su, maçevi su im oruœje nasilja. 6 U savjet njihov neka ne ulazi moja duæa, s njihovim zborom neka se ne druœi moja çast, jer su u srdœbi ubili ljude i u ljutnji ohromili volove. 7 Prokleta da im je njihova srdœba æto je tako œestoka i njihova ljutina æto je tako okrutna, pa øu ih razdijeliti u Jakovu i raspræiti ih u Izraelu. 8 Juda, hvalit øe tebe tvoja braøa; tvoja ruka bit øe za vratom tvojim neprijateljima, i klanjat øe se pred tobom sinovi tvojega oca. 9 Juda je mladi laviø; moj sine, od plijena si se uzdigao; a onda se spustio i legnuo kao lav, kao lavica, tko ga smije draœiti? 10 Œezlo se neøe udaljiti od Jude, ni vladarski ætap od njegovih nogu, dok ne doåe Mir; i Njemu øe se pokoravati narodi. 11 Koji veœe svoje magare za çokot, za plemenitu lozu mlado svoje magarice; pere u vinu svoju haljinu i u krvi groœåa svoj ogrtaç. 12 Ima iskre u oçima od vina i zubi su mu bjelji od mlijeka. 13 Zebulun øe prebivati uz obalu morsku; postat øe luka brodova, a njegova granica dosezat øe do Sidona. 14 Isakar je œilav magarac koji leœi izmeåu dviju granica; 15 vidio ugodan odmor i zemlja lijepa; pognuo je svoja leåa da nosi tovare, i postao grupa robova. 16 Dan øe suditi svojem narodu kao jedno od Izraelovih plemena. 17 Dan je kao zmija na putu, kao guja na stazi koja ugriza konja za petu, tako da øe konjanik pasti nauznak. 18 Tebe çekam da me izbaviæ, o Gospodine! 19 Gad, razbojnici øe ga gaziti, ali øe ih on na kraju potisnuti. 20 Aæer, imat øe hrane izobilja, imat øe poslastice kraljevske. 21 Naftali je puætena koæuta, on govori lijepe rijeçi. 22 Josip je plodno stablo, plodno stablo na vrelu; preko zidova penju se njegove grane. 23 Strijelci su ga teæko pritisnuli, odapinju strijele na njega i mrziju ga. 24 Ali njegov lßk ostaje çvrst, jake su njegove miæice i ruke po jakosti Svesilnoga Boga Jako-

THE SECOND BOOK OF MOSES

1

Now these are the names of the sons of Israel who came to Egypt; each man and his household came with Jacob; 2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah; 3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin; 4 Dan, Naphtali, Gad, and Asher. 5 All those who were descendants of Jacob were seventy persons (for Joseph was in Egypt already). 6 And Joseph died, all his brothers, and all that generation. 7 But the sons of Israel were fruitful and increased abundantly, multiplied and grew exceedingly mighty; and the land was filled with them. 8 Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who did not know Joseph. 9 And he said to his people, “Look, the people of the sons of Israel are more and mightier than we; 10 come, let us deal wisely with them, lest they multiply, and it happen, in the event of war, that they also join our enemies and fight against us, and so go up out of the land.”

Ovo su imena Izraelovih sinova, koji su doæli u Egipat; svaki sa svojim domaøinstvom zajedno s Jakovom: 2 Ruben, Simeon, Levi, Juda; 3 Isakar, Zebulun, Benjamin; 4 Dan, Naftali, Gad i Aæer. 5 U svemu Jakovljevih potomaka bilo je sedamdeset; a Josip je veø prije boravio u Egiptu. 6 I Josip je umro, sva njegova braøa i sav onaj naraætaj. 7 A Izraelovi potomci bili su plodni, veoma se umnoœili i postali vrlo mnogobrojni i jaki, i zemlja ih se bila napunila. 8 Uto je zavladao novi kralj u Egiptu, koji nije poznavao Josipa. 9 On je rekao svojem narodu: “Gle, Izraelovi sinovi su postali brojniji i moøniji od nas. 10 Hajde, postupimo mudro s njima, da joæ dalje ne rastu i u sluçaju kakva rata ne pridruœe naæim neprijateljima, da ne udare na nas i ne odu iz zemlje!”

And a man of the house of Levi went and took as wife a daughter of Levi. 2 So the woman conceived and bore a son. And when she saw that he was a beautiful child, she hid him three months. 3 But when she could no longer hide him, she took an ark of bulrushes for him, daubed it with asphalt and pitch, put the child in it, and laid it in the reeds by the river’s bank. 4 And his sister stood afar off, to know what would be done to him. 5 Then the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river. And her maidens walked along the river’s side; and when she saw the ark among the reeds, she sent her maid to get it. 6 And when she had opened it, she saw the child, and behold, the baby wept. So she had compassion on him, and said, “This is one of the Hebrews’ children.” 7 Then his sister said to Pharaoh’s daughter, “Shall I go and call a nurse for you from the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for you?” 8 And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Go.” So the maiden went and called the child’s mother. 9 Then Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take this child away and nurse him for me, and I will give you your wages.” So the woman took the child and nursed him. 10 And the child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. So she called his name Moses, saying, “Because I drew him out of the water.” 11 Now it happened in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out to his brethren and looked at their burdens. And he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his brethren.

Roåenje i mladost Mojsijeva

Jedan çovjek iz kuøe Levijeve otiæao i uzeo si za œenu jednu Levijevu køer. 2 Tako je œena zatrudnjela i rodila sina. A kad je vidjela, da je lijep, skrivala ga tri mjeseca. 3 A kad ga nije mogla duœe skrivati, uzela je za njega koæaricu od papirusove trske, premazala ju zemljanom i smolom, stavila djeçaka u nju i stavila ju u trstiku kraj Rijeke. 4 Njegova sestra stajala je podalje da vidi æto øe biti s njim. 5 Onda je doæla køi faraonova na Rijeku da se kupa. A dok su sluækinje njezine hodale po obali Rijeke, opazila je ona koæaricu u trstici, i poslala svoju sluækinju ondje da ju donese. 6 Kad je bila otvorila, vidjela je dijete, a to je bio djeçak i plakao. Saœalilo joj se i pomislila je: “To je jedno od hebrejske djece.” 7 Onda je upitala njegova sestra køer faraonovu: “Hoøeæ li da odem i da ti dovedem dojkinju Hebrejku da ti doji dijete?” 8 A køi faraonova joj je rekla: “Idi!” I otiæla je djevojçica i dovela majku djeteta. 9 Onda joj je rekla køi faraonova: “Uzmi ovo dijete i doji ga, a ja øu ti za to platiti!” Tako je œena uzela dijete i dojila ga. 10 Kad je dijete odraslo, donijela ga natrag køeri faraonovoj, on je postao njezin sin i ona mu nadjenula ime Mojsije, govoreøi, “Jer sam ga iz vode izvadila.” 11 I dogodilo se u ono vrijeme, kad je Mojsije odrastao, posjetio je on jednoga dana svoju braøu i vidio kako moraju obavljati teæke poslove. A kad je opazio kako je jedan Egipøanin tuçe Hebrejca, jednoga od njegove braøe.

Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his fatherin-law, the priest of Midian. And he led the flock to the back of the desert, and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. 2 And the Angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of a bush. So he looked, and behold, the bush burned with fire, but the bush was not consumed. 3 Then Moses said, “I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush does not burn.” 4 So when the LORD saw that he turned aside to look, God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here I am.” 5 Then He said, “Do not draw near this place. Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground.” 6 Moreover he said, “I am the God of your father– the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look upon God. 7 And the LORD said: “I have surely seen the oppression of my people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows. 8 So I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up from that land to a good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanites

Bog poziva Mojsija

Nato je Mojsije çuvao ovce svojega tasta Jetra, sveøenika midjanskoga. I on je vodio stado po pustinji i doæao do Horeba, goru Boœju. 2 Anåeo Gospodinov mu se pojavio u rasplamtjelom ognju æto je izbijao iz grma. A on je pogledao, a to grm plamenom gorio, ali nije izgarao. 3 Mojsije je pomislio: “Idem vidjeti izbliœe taj rijetki prizor, zaæto grm ne izgara.” 4 A kad je Gospodin vidio da on prilazi pogledati, Bog ga pozvao iz grma: “Mojsije, Mojsije!” On je odgovorio: “Evo me!” 5 A on je rekao: “Ne primiçi se bliœe ovom mjestu! Izuj obuøu sa svojih nogu, jer mjesto na kojemu stojiæ sveto je tlo!” 6 On je nastavio: “Ja sam Bog tvojega oca, Bog Abrahamov, Bog Izakov i Bog Jakovljev.” A Mojsije je zaklonio svoje lice, jer se bojao gledati u Boga. 7 A Gospodin je rekao: “Zaista sam vidio nevolju svojega naroda u Egiptu i çuo sam njegovu tuœbu na njegove tlaçitelje, jer ja znam njihove muke. 8 Tako sam ja sada evo siæao da ga izbavim iz ruku Egipøana i da ga izvedem iz te zemlje, u zemlju dobru i prostranu, u zemlju u kojoj teçe

Then Moses answered and said, “But suppose they will not believe me or listen to my voice; suppose they say, ‘The LORD has not appeared to you.’ ” 2 So the LORD said to him, “What is that in your hand?” And he said, “A rod.” 3 And He said, “Cast it on the ground.” So he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from it. 4 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Reach out your hand and take it by the tail” and he reached out his hand and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand, 5 “that they may believe that the LORD God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you.”

Mojsije se izgovara i vraøa se u Egipat

Onda je rekao Mojsije, govoreøi: “Ali ako mi ne budu vjerovali i ne posluæaju me, nego mi kaœu: ‘Nije ti se Gospodin pojavio!’ ” 2 A Gospodin mu rekao: “Æto ti je to u ruci? On je odgovorio: “Ætap.” 3 A On je rekao: “Baci ga na zemlju!” I on ga bacio na zemlju, a ætap je postao zmija; a Mojsije je pobjegao od nje. 4 Onda je Gospodin rekao Mojsiju: “Pruœi svoju ruku i primi ju za rep” on je pruœio svoju ruku i uhvatio ju, i ona je opet postala ætap u njegovoj ruci. 5 “da oni povjeruju da ti se objavio Gospodin Bog njihovih otaca, Bog Abrahamov, Bog Izakov i Bog Jakovljev.”

Afterward Moses and Aaron went in and told Pharaoh, “Thus says the LORD God of Israel: ‘Let my people go, that they may hold a feast to me in the wilderness.’ ” 2 And Pharaoh said, “Who is the LORD, that I should obey his voice to let Israel go? I do not know the LORD, nor will I let Israel go.” 3 So they said, “The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Please, let us go three days’ journey into the desert and sacrifice to the LORD our God, lest he fall upon us with pestilence or with the sword.” 4 Then the king of Egypt said to them, “Moses and Aaron, why do you take the people from their work? Get back to your labor.” 5 And Pharaoh said, “Look, the people of the land are many now, and you make them rest from their labor!” 6 So the same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people and their officers, saying, 7 “You shall no longer give the people straw to make brick as before. Let them go and gather straw for themselves. 8 And you shall lay on them the quota of bricks which they made before. You shall not diminish it. For they are idle; therefore they cry out, saying, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to our God.’ 9 Let more work be laid on the men, that they may labor in it, and let them not regard false words.” 10 And the taskmasters of the people and their officers went out and spoke to the people, saying, “Thus says Pharaoh: ‘I will not give you straw. 11 Go, get yourselves straw where you can find it; yet none of your work will be diminished.’ ” 12 So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble instead of straw. 13 And the taskmasters forced them to hurry, saying, “Fulfill your work, your daily quota, as when there was straw.” 14 Also the officers of the sons of Israel, whom Pharaoh’s taskmasters had set over them, were beaten and were asked, “Why have you not fulfilled your task in making brick both yesterday and today, as before?” 15 Then the officers of the sons of Israel came and cried out to Pharaoh, saying, “Why are you dealing thus with your servants? 16 There is no straw given to your servants, and they say to us, ‘Make brick!’ And indeed your servants are beaten, but the fault is in your own people.” 17 But he said, “You are idle! You are idle! Therefore you say, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to the LORD.’ 18 Therefore go now and work; for no straw shall be given you, yet you shall deliver the quota of bricks.” 19 And the officers of the sons of Israel saw that they were in trouble after it was said, “You shall not diminish any bricks from your daily quota.” 20 Then, as they came out from Pharaoh, they met Moses and Aaron who stood there to meet them. 21 And they said to them, “Let the LORD look on you and judge, because you have made us abhorrent in

Poslije toga otiæli su Mojsije i Aron i rekli faraonu: “Ovako govori Gospodin, Bog Izraelov: ‘Pusti moj narod da ode i da mi u pustinji odrœi sveçanu gozbu.’ ” 2 A faraon je rekao: “Tko je taj Gospodin da ga posluæam i pustim Izraela? Ne poznajem Gospodina, a i neøu pustiti Izraela.” 3 A oni su rekli: “Bog Hebreja nam se pojavio. Molimo te pusti nas iøi tri dana hoda u pustinju da ondje œrtvujemo Gospodinu, svojem Bogu, da ne siåe na nas kugom ili maçem.” 4 Onda im je egipatski kralj rekao: “Mojsije i Arone, zaæto odvraøate narod od njegova posla? Idite natrag za svojim poslom!” 5 A faraon je nastavio: “Eto, ovaj narod je sad mnogobrojan u zemlji; a vi biste htjeli da se odmara od njihovih poslova!” 6 Tako taj isti dan izdao je faraon, nadglednicima i nadzornicima zapovijed, govoreøi: 7 “Od sada viæe neøete davati narodu slame za pravljenje opeke kao prije.

Oni su lijeni, zato viçu, govoreøi: ‘Hajdemo œrtvovati svojem Bogu.’ 9 Navalite viæe posla na te ljude, da budu njim zaposleni i da se ne obaziru na laœne rijeçi.” 10 Nadglednici i nadzornici naroda su otiæli i javili narodu, govoreøi: “Ovako govori faraon: ‘Neøu vam viæe dati slame. 11 Idite, i nabavite si slamu gdje je naåete; A od vaæega posla niæta vam se neøe smanjiti.’ ” 12 Tako je narod bio raspræen po cijeloj egipatskoj zemlji da skuplja strnjiku namjesto slame. 13 A nadglednici su ih gonili, govoreøi: “Imate svaki svoj dnevni posao obaviti kao i prije kad je bilo slame.” 14 I korilo se nadzornike Izraelovih sinova, koje su bili postavili nad njima nadglednici faraonovi, i prigovaralo im se, govoreøi: “Zaæto posljednjih dana niste dovræili odreåeni broj opeka kao prije?” 15 Onda su doæli nadzornici Izraelovih sinova faraonu i upitali ga, govoreøi: “Zaæto dajeæ da se tako radi sa tvojim slugama? 16 Slama se viæe ne daje tvojim slugama, a govore nam: ‘Opeke nam pravite!’ Pa i tuku tvoje sluge, a krivnja je na tvojem narodu.” 17 A on je rekao: “Lijeni ste, lijeni ste! Zato govorite: ‘Hajdemo œrtvovati Gospodinu.’ 18 Stoga sad idite na posao; slama vam se neøe davati, ali vi morate praviti odreåene koliçine opeke!” 19 Nadzornici Izraelovih sinova vidjeli su da su u teækom poloœaju zbog zapovijedi da se ne smije smanjiti broj opeka na dan. 20 Nato kako su izlazili ispred faraona, susreli su Mojsija i Arona, koji su tu stajali i çekali ih. 21 I oni su im rekli: “Gospodin neka vas pogleda i sudi, æto ste nas uçinili da se omrznemo fa-

Why is “Gospodine, zaæto nanosiæ toliko zlo na ovaj narod?

Then the LORD said to Moses, “Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh. For with a strong hand he will let them go, and with a strong hand he will drive them out of his land.” 2 And God spoke to Moses and said to him: “I am the LORD. 3 I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty, but by My name, LORD, I was not known to them. 4 I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, in which they were strangers. 5 And I have also heard the groaning of the sons of Israel whom the Egyptians keep in bondage, and I have remembered my covenant. 6 Therefore say to the sons of Israel: ‘I am the LORD; I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, I will rescue you from their bondage, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgments. 7 I will take you as my people, and I will be your God. Then you shall know that I am the LORD your God who brings you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. 8 And I will bring you into the land which I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; and I will give it to you as a heritage: I am the LORD.’ ” 9 So Moses spoke thus to the sons of Israel; but they would not heed Moses, because of anguish of spirit and cruel bondage. 10 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 11 Go in, speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he must let the sons of Israel go out of his land.” 12 And Moses spoke before the LORD, saying, “The sons of Israel have not heeded me. How then shall Pharaoh heed me, for I am of uncircumcised lips?” 13 Then the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, and gave them a command for the sons of Israel and for Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt. 14 These are the heads of their fathers’ houses: The sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel, were Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi. These are the families of Reuben. 15 And the sons of Simeon were Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanite woman. These are the families of Simeon. 16 These are the names of the sons of Levi according to their generations: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. And the years of the life of Levi were one hundred and thirty-seven. 17 The sons of Gershon were Libni and Shimi according to their families. 18 And the sons of Kohath were Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel. And the years of the life of Kohath were one hundred and thirty-three. 19 The sons of Merari were Mahali and Mushi. These are the families of Levi according to their generations. 20 Now Amram took for himself Jochebed, his father’s sister, as wife; and she bore him Aaron and Moses. And the years of the life of Amram were one hundred and thirty-seven.

Bog tjeæi Mojsija, a Mojsije narod

Onda je Gospodin rekao Mojsiju: “Ti øeæ vidjeti æto øu uçiniti faraonu. Sa jakom rukom pustit øe ih, i sa jakom rukom prisiljen istjerat øe ih iz svoje zemlje.” 2 I joæ je Bog rekao Mojsiju, govoreøi mu: “Ja sam Gospodin. 3 Ja sam se objavio Abrahamu, Izaku i Jakovu kao Bog Svemoøni; ali svojim Imenom, Gospodin, nisam im bio poznat. 4 I napravio sam moj zavjet s njima, da øu im dati u posjed zemlju Kanaan, zemlju u kojoj su prije prebivali kao doæljaci. 5 A çuo sam i tuœbu Izraelovih sinova koje su Egipøani drœali u ropstvu, i sjetio sam se svojega zavjeta. 6 Stoga kaœi Izraelovim sinovima: ‘Ja sam Gospodin! Ja øu vas osloboditi bremena Egipøana, ja øu ih izbaviti iz njihove robije, spasit øu vas rukom podignutom i velikim kaznama. 7 Uzet øu vas za svoj narod i bit øu vaæ Bog. Onda øete spoznati da sam ja Gospodin, vaæ Bog, onaj koji vas izbavljam ispod bremena Egipøana. 8 I dovest øu vas u zemlju za koju sam se zakleo da øu ju dati Abrahamu, Izaku i Jakovu, i dat øu vam ju u baætinu, ja sam Gospodin.’ ” 9 Tako je Mojsije to rekao Izraelovim sinovima, ali nisu posluæali Mojsija zbog maloduænosti i teæka ropstva. 10 I javio se Gospodin Mojsiju, govoreøi: 11 “Idi i kaœi faraonu, egipatskom kralju, da mora pustiti Izraelove sinove iz svoje zemlje.” 12 A Mojsije je rekao Gospodinu, govoreøi: “Kad me, eto, ni Izraelovi sinovi ne sluæaju, kako øe me, ovako spora u govoru, posluæati faraon?” 13 Onda je Gospodin govorio Mojsiju i Aronu i dao im zapovijed za Izraelove sinove i faraona, egipatskog kralja, da pusti Izraelove sinove iz egipatske zemlje. 14 Ovo su glavari domova njihovih otaca: Rubenovi sinovi, prvoroåenca Izraelova, bili su: Henok, Palu, Hezron i Karmi. To su obitelji Rubenove. 15 Simeonovi sinovi bili su: Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jakin, Zohar i Æaul, sin Kanaanke. To su obitelji Simeonove. 16 Ovo su imena Levijevih sinova po njihovim naraætajima: Geræon, Kohat i Merari. A godine Levijeva œivota bile su stotinu i trideset i sedam godina. 17 Geræonovi sinovi bili su: Libni i Æimi po svojim obiteljima. 18 Kohatovi sinovi bili: su Amram, Ishar, Hebron i Uziel. A godine Kohatova œivota bile su stotinu i trideset i tri godine. 19 Merarijevi sinovi bili su: Mahli i Muæi. To su obitelji Levijeve po svojim naraætajima. 20 Amram je uzeo oçevu sestru Jokebedu, za œenu i ona mu je rodila Arona i Mojsija. A godine Amramova œivota bile su stotinu i trideset i sedam godina.

Govori faraonu, egipatskom LORD. Speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say to kralju sve æto ti reknem.” 30 A Mojsije je rekao Gospodinu: “Ah, ja sam you.” 30 But Moses said before the LORD, “Behold, I am of spor u govoru, pa kako øe me faraon posluuncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh heed æati?” me?”

So the LORD said to Moses: “See, I have made you as God to Pharaoh, and Aaron your brother shall be your prophet. 2 You shall speak all that I command you. And Aaron your brother shall speak to Pharaoh, that he must send the sons of Israel out of his land. 3 And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt. 4 But Pharaoh will not heed you, so that I may lay my hand on Egypt and bring my armies and my people, the sons of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments. 5 And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I stretch out my hand on Egypt and bring out the sons of Israel from among them.” 6 Then Moses and Aaron did so; just as the LORD commanded them, so they did. 7 And Moses was eighty years old and Aaron eightythree years old when they spoke to Pharaoh. 8 Then the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, 9 When Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, ‘Show a miracle for yourselves,’ then you shall say to Aaron, ‘Take your rod and cast it before Pharaoh, and let it become a serpent.’ ” 10 So Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and they did so, just as the LORD commanded. And Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent. 11 But Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers; so the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments. 12 For every man threw down his rod, and they became serpents. But Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods. 13 And Pharaoh’s heart grew hard, and he did not heed them, as the LORD had said. 14 So the LORD said to Moses: “Pharaoh’s heart is hard; he refuses to let the people go. 15 Go to Pharaoh in the morning, when he goes out to the water, and you shall stand by the river’s bank to meet him; and the rod which was turned to a serpent you shall take in your hand. 16 And you shall say to him, ‘The LORD God of the Hebrews has sent me to you, saying, “Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness”; but indeed, until now you would not hear!

Ætap se pretvara u zmiju i voda u krv

Nato je Gospodin rekao Mojsiju: “Evo, pravim te da budeæ kao Bog pred faraonom, a tvoj brat Aron bit øe tvoj prorok. 2 Govorit øeæ sve æto ti ja zapovjedim. A tvoj brat Aron neka govori faraonu da mora pustiti Izraelove sinove da odu iz njegove zemlje. 3 A ja øu otvrdnuti srce faraonu i umnoœit øu znakove i çudesa u zemlji Egipat. 4 Ali faraon vas neøe posluæati, tako da øu ja staviti moju ruku na Egipat, i izvest øu svoje redove, svoj narod, Izraelove sinove, iz egipatske zemlje s velikim kaznama. 5 Onda øe Egipøani spoznati da sam ja Gospodin, kad pruœim svoju ruku protiv Egipøana i Izraelove sinove izvedem iz njihove sredine.” 6 Tada su Mojsije i Aron uçinili toçno onako kako im je zapovjedio Gospodin. 7 Mojsiju je bilo osamdeset godina, a Aronu osamdeset i tri godine kad su govorili s faraonom. 8 Onda je Gospodin rekao Mojsiju i Aronu, govoreøi: 9 “Ako vas pozove faraon da uçinite ipak kakvo çudo, onda kaœi Aronu da uzme svoj ætap i baci ga pred faraona da ætap postane zmija.” 10 Mojsije i Aron su otiæli faraonu i uçinili tako kako im je zapovjedio Gospodin. Aron je bacio svoj ætap pred faraona i njegove sluge, i ætap je postao zmija. 11 A faraon je dozvao mudrace i vraçare, i çarobnjaci egipatski uçinili su isto tako svojim tajnim çaranjem. 12 Svi su bacili svoje ætapove i ætapovi se pretvorili u zmije, ali je ætap Aronov progutao njihove ætapove. 13 A srce faraonovo je raslo sve tvråe, i on ih nije posluæao, kako je rekao Gospodin. 14 A Gospodin je rekao Mojsiju: “Srce je faraonovo otvrdnulo; on odbija pustiti narod. 15 Idi sutra ujutro faraonu, kad on polazi k Rijeci, i stat øeæ pred njega na obali Rijeke; uzet øeæ u ruku ætap æto se pretvorio u zmiju. 16 I ti øeæ mu reøi: ‘Gospodin, Bog Hebreja, poslao me k tebi, govoreøi: Pusti moj narod da mi moœe sluœiti u pustinji, a ti sve do sada nisi posluæao.’

So he lifted up the rod and struck the njim po vodi u Rijeci pred oçima faraona i pred waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh oçima njegovih sluga.

And the LORD spoke to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and say to him, ‘Thus says the LORD: “Let my people go, that they may serve me. 2 But if you refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all your territory with frogs. 3 So the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into your house, into your bedchamber, on your bed, into the houses of your servants, on your people, into your ovens, and into your kneading bowls. 4 And the frogs shall come up on you, on your people, and on all your servants.’ ” 5 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Stretch out your hand with your rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up on the land of Egypt.’ ” 6 So Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt. 7 And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs on the land of Egypt. 8 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, “Entreat the LORD that he may take away the frogs from me and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may sacrifice to the LORD.” 9 And Moses said to Pharaoh, “Accept the honor of saying when I shall intercede for you, for your servants, and for your people, to destroy the frogs from you and your houses, that they may remain in the river only.” 10 So he said, “Tomorrow.” And he said, “Let it be according to your word, that you may know that there is no one like the LORD our God. 11 And the frogs shall depart from you, from your houses, from your servants, and from your people. They shall remain in the river only.” 12 Then Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh. And Moses cried out to the LORD concerning the frogs

Poæasti œaba uæiju i buha

Onda je Gospodin rekao Mojsiju: “Idi faraonu i kaœi mu: ‘Ovako govori Gospodin: Pusti moj narod da mi moœe sluœiti.’ 2 Ali ako ih odbijeæ pustiti, gle, udarit øu svu tvoju zemlju œabama. 3 Tako øe se Rijeka obilno napuniti œabama koje øe iziøi i prodrijeti u tvoj dvor, u tvoju spavaonicu, u tvoju postelju, u kuøe tvojih sluga i tvojega naroda, u tvoje peøi i u tvoje naøve. 4 I skakat øe œabe na tebe, na tvoje podanike i na sve tvoje sluge.’ ” 5 Onda je Gospodin rekao Mojsiju: “Kaœi Aronu: ‘Pruœi svoju ruku sa svojim ætapom na rijeke, prokope i bare, i neka izaåu œabe na egipatsku zemlju!’ ” 6 Tako je Aron pruœio svoju ruku na vode egipatske, i œabe su izaæle i pokrile egipatsku zemlju. 7 A çarobnjaci su uçinili isto svojim çaranjem, te su œabe izaæle na egipatsku zemlju. 8 Onda je faraon dozvao Mojsija i Arona i rekao im: “Molite Gospodina da mene i moj narod oslobodi od œaba, ja øu onda pustiti narod da moœe œrtvovati Gospodinu.” 9 A Mojsije je odgovorio faraonu: “Dostoj mi se odrediti toçno kad da se molim za tebe, za tvoje sluge i za tvoj narod da se œabe odstrane od tebe i od tvojih kuøa i samo u Rijeci da ostanu!” 10 A on je rekao: “Sutra.” Mojsije je rekao: “Neka bude po tvojoj rijeçi da spoznaæ da nitko nije kao Gospodin, naæ Bog. 11 Œabe øe otiøi od tebe, od tvojih kuøa, od tvojih sluga i od tvojega naroda; ostat øe samo u Rijeci.” 12 Nato su Mojsije i Aron otiæli od faraona.

Now the LORD said to Moses, “Go in to Pharaoh; for I have hardened his heart and the hearts of his servants, that I may show these signs of mine before him, 2 and that you may tell in the hearing of your son and your son’s son the mighty things I have done in Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them, that you may know that I am the LORD.” 3 So Moses and Aaron came in to Pharaoh and said to him, “Thus says the LORD God of the Hebrews: ‘How long will you refuse to humble yourself before me? Let my people go, that they may serve me. 4 Or else, if you refuse to let my people go, behold, tomorrow I will bring locusts into your territory. 5 And they shall cover the face of the earth, so that no one will be able to see the earth; and they shall eat the residue of what is left, which remains to you from the hail, and they shall eat every tree which grows up for you out of the field. 6 They shall fill your houses, the houses of all your servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians–which neither your fathers nor your fathers’ fathers have seen, since the day that they were on the earth to this day.’ “And he turned and went out from Pharaoh. 7 Then Pharaoh’s servants said to him, “How long shall this man be a snare to us? Let the men go, that they may serve the LORD their God. Do you not yet know that Egypt is destroyed?” 8 So Moses and Aaron were brought again to Pharaoh, and he said to them, “Go, serve the LORD your God. But who are the ones that are going?” 9 And Moses said, “We will go with our young and our old; with our sons and our daughters, with our flocks and our herds we will go, for we must hold a feast to the LORD.” 10 Then he said to them, “The LORD had better be with you when I let you and your little ones go! Beware, for evil is ahead of you.

Nato je Gospodin rekao Mojsiju: “Idi faraonu, jer sam otvrdnuo srce njemu i njegovim slugama da uçinim ova svoja znamenja na njemu: 2 da moœeæ pripovijedati svojoj djeci i svojoj unuçadi æto sam uçinio Egipøanima i koja sam çudesna djela izvræio meåu njima i da tako spoznate da sam ja Gospodin.” 3 Tako su Mojsije i Aron otiæli faraonu i rekli mu: “Ovako govori Gospodin Bog Hebreja: ‘Dokle øeæ joæ odbijati da se poniziæ preda mnom? Pusti moj narod da mi moœe sluœiti. 4 Jer ako odbijeæ pustiti mojega naroda, gle, sutra øu navesti skakavce na tvoju zemlju. 5 Oni øe pokriti povræinu zemlje tako da nitko neøe viæe vidjeti zemlju; i pojest øe ono æto vam je joæ preostalo kao posljednji ostatak iza tuçe; i oglodat øe sva stabla æto rastu u vaæim poljima. 6 Oni øe napuniti tvoje kuøe, i kuøe svih tvojih sluga, i kuøe svih Egipøana, takvo æto nisu vidjeli ni tvoji oçevi ni oçevi tvojih oçeva otkako su postali na zemlji do danaænjega dana.’ ” I on se okrenuo i otiæao od faraona. 7 Onda su mu sluge faraonove rekle: “Dokle øe nam ovaj çovjek biti zamka? Pusti ljude neka odu i sluœe Gospodinu, svojem Bogu! Zar joæ ne znaæ da Egipat propada?” 8 I dozvali su Mojsija i Arona natrag faraonu, a on im je rekao: “Idite, sluœite Gospodinu, svojem Bogu! A koji su to koji øe iøi s vama?” 9 Mojsije je odgovorio: “Iøi øemo sa svojim mladima i sa starima, sa svojim sinovima i køerima, sa svojim stadima ovaca i sa govedima, jer moramo odrœati sveçanu gozbu Gospodinu.” 10 Onda im je on rekao: “Gospodin uistinu treba biti s vama kad vas pustim s vaæom djecom!

And the LORD said to Moses, “I will bring yet one more plague on Pharaoh and on Egypt. Afterward he will let you go from here. When he lets you go, he will surely drive you out of here altogether. 2 Speak now in the hearing of the people, and let every man ask from his neighbor and every woman from her neighbor, articles of silver and articles of gold.”

Then Moses and the sons of Israel sang this song to the LORD, and spoke, saying: “I will sing to the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously! The horse and its rider he has thrown into the sea! 2 The LORD is my strength and song, and he has become my salvation; he is my God, and I will praise him; my father’s God, and I will exalt him. 3 The LORD is a man of war; the LORD is his name. 4 Pharaoh’s chariots and his army he has cast into the sea; his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red Sea. 5 The depths have covered them; they sank to the bottom like a stone. 6 Your right hand, O LORD, has become glorious in power; your right hand, O LORD, has dashed the enemy in pieces. 7 And in the greatness of your excellence you have overthrown those who rose against you; you sent forth your wrath which consumed them like stubble. 8 And with the blast of your nostrils the waters were gathered together; the floods stood upright like a heap; and the depths congealed in the heart of the sea. 9 The enemy said, ‘I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my desire shall be satisfied on them. I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.’ 10 You blew with your wind, the sea covered them; they sank like lead in the mighty waters. 11 Who is like you, O LORD, among the gods? who is like you, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders? 12 You stretched out your right hand; the earth swallowed them. 13 You in your mercy have led forth the people whom you have redeemed; you have guided them in your strength to your holy habitation. 14 The people will hear and be afraid; sorrow will take hold of the inhabitants of Palestina. 15 Then the chiefs of Edom will be dismayed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling will take hold of them; all the inhabitants of Canaan will melt away. 16 Fear and dread will fall on them; by the greatness of your arm they will be as still as a stone, till your people pass over, O LORD, till the people pass over whom you have purchased. 17 You will bring them in and plant them in the mountain of your inheritance, in the place, O LORD, which you have made for your own dwelling, the sanctuary, O LORD, which your hands have established. 18 The LORD shall reign forever and ever.” 19 For the horses of Pharaoh went with his chariots

Onda je Mojsije sa Izraelovim sinovima zapjevao ovu pjesmu Gospodinu, govoreøi: “Pjevat øu Gospodinu, jer se slavno pobjedom proslavio! On je konja s jahaçem bacio u more! 2 Bog je moja jakost i pjesma, i on je postao moj Spasitelj; on je moj Bog, i ja øu ga slaviti. Bog mojega oca, ja øu ga veliçati. 3 Gospodin osoba boja; Gospodin je njegovo Ime. 4 Bojna kola faraonova i njegovu vojsku pobacao je u more; njegovi izabranici utonuli su u Crvenom moru. 5 Dubina ih pokrila, propali su na dno kao kamen. 6 Tvoja desnica, o Gospodine, postala je slavna jakoæøu; tvoja desnica, o Gospodine, razbila je neprijatelja u komade. 7 Puninom svojega veliçanstva sruæio si one koji su iæli protiv tebe; pustio si svoju srdœbu koju ih je proœderala kao strnjiku. 8 Od daha tvojega nosa nabujale su vode visoko, poplava je stajala uspravno kao nasip, dubine se stvrdnule usred mora. 9 Neprijatelj je pomislio: ‘Potjerat øu ih, stignut øu ih, razdijelit øu plijen; nasitit øe ih se pohota moja; trgnut øu svoj maç, uniætit øe ih moja ruka.’ 10 Ti si dahnuo svojim dahom i more ih progutalo; kao olovo utonuli su u vodi silovitoj. 11 Tko je kao ti, o Gospodine, tko je kao ti? Veliçanstven u svetosti, strahovit u slavlju, çineøi çuda. 12 Ti si samo pruœio svoju desnicu i ona je proœdrla zemlju. 13 Miloæøu svojom vodio si narod kojega si oslobodio; vodio si ga svojom jakoæøu u svoj sveti stan. 14 Çut øe to narodi i zadrhtat øe; muka øe spopasti narod filistejski. 15 Vladari edomski øe se smesti, drhtanje spopast øe moapske voåe; sav øe se narod kanaanski istopiti. 16 Strah i trepet spopast øe ih; od jakosti tvoje ruke bit øe mirni kao kamen, dok ne proåe, o Gospodine, tvoj narod, dok ne proåe tvoj narod koji si otkupio. 17 Ti øeæ ga dovesti i zasaditi na gori tvoje baætine, na mjestu, o Gospodine, æto si ga stvorio sebi za prebivaliæte, u svetiætu koje su, o Gospodine, tvoje ruke postavile. 18 Gospodin øe kraljevati u vijek vjekova.” 19 Kad su faraonovi konji, njegova bojna kola i

And they journeyed from Elim, and all the congregation of the sons of Israel came to the Wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after they departed from the land of Egypt. 2 Then the whole congregation of the sons of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness. 3 And the sons of Israel said to them, “Oh, that we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the pots of meat and when we ate bread to the full! For you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger.” 4 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you. And the people shall go out and gather a certain quota every day, that I may test them, whether they will walk in my law or not. 5 And it shall be on the sixth day that they shall prepare what they bring in, and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.” 6 Then Moses and Aaron said to all the sons of Israel, “At evening you shall know that the LORD has brought you out of the land of Egypt. 7 And in the morning you shall see the glory of the LORD; for he hears your murmurings against the LORD. But what are we, that you murmur against us?” 8 Also Moses said, “This shall be seen when the LORD gives you meat to eat in the evening, and in the morning bread to the full; for the L ORD hears your murmurings which you make against him. And what are we? Your murmurings are not against us but against the LORD.” 9 Then Moses spoke to Aaron, “Say to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, ‘Come near before the LORD, for he has heard your murmurings.’ ” 10 Now it happened, as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the sons of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and behold, the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud. 11 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

Mana. Prepelice

Oni su putovali od Elima, i sva zajednica Izraelovih sinova doæla je u Pustinju Sin, koja je izmeåu Elima i Sinaja, petnaestoga dana drugoga mjeseca od izlaska iz egipatske zemlje. 2 Onda je cijela zajednica Izraelovih sinova mrmljala protiv Mojsija i Arona u pustinji. 3 A Izraelovi sinovi su im rekli: “Radije bismo ipak bili pomrli od ruke Gospodinove u zemlji egipatskoj, kad smo sjedili kod svojih lonaca s mesom i jeli do sitosti. A vi ste nas odveli u ovu pustinju da glaåu pomorite svu ovu zajednicu.” 4 Tada je Gospodin rekao Mojsiju: “Gle, uçinit øu da vam pada kruh s neba. Narod neka ide i sebi skupi koliko mu treba za dan, da vas time ispitam, hoøe li oni drœati moj zakon ili neøe. 5 I bit øe u æesti dan da priprave æto su donijeli, i bit øe dvaput toliko koliko bi nakupili svaki dan.” 6 Tada su Mojsije i Aron rekli svim Izraelovim sinovima: “Veçeras øete spoznati da je Gospodin onaj koji vas izveo iz egipatske zemlje. 7 A sutra øete vidjeti slavu Gospodinovu, jer je on çuo vaæe mrmljanje protiv Gospodina. A æto smo mi, da mrmljate protiv nas?” 8 Mojsije je joæ rekao: “Kad vam Gospodin veçeras bude dao jesti mesa i ujutro kruha do sitosti, spoznat øete da je Gospodin çuo vaæe mrmljanje æto ste ga podigli protiv njega, jer æto smo mi? Nije protiv nas bilo upravljeno vaæe mrmljanje nego protiv Gospodina.” 9 Onda je rekao Mojsije Aronu: “Kaœi cijeloj zajednici Izraelovih sinova: ‘Pristupite pred Gospodina, jer je on çuo vaæe mrmljanje.’ ” 10 I dogodilo se da kako je Aron to saopøio cijeloj zajednici Izraelovih sinova , oni su pogledali prema pustinji, i gle, pojavila se u oblaku slava Gospodinova. 11 I rekao je Bog Mojsiju, govoreøi:

GoSpeak to them, saying, ‘At twilight you shall eat meat, vori im ovako: ‘Veçeras øete jesti meso a sutra and in the morning you shall be filled with bread. And øete se ujutro nasititi kruha.

And Moses said to them, “This is the bread bilo. Mojsije im rekao: “To je kruh koji vam daje Gospodin za jesti. which the LORD has given you to eat. 16 This is the thing which the LORD has commanded: 16 Ovo je æto zapovjeda Gospodin: ‘Svaki od ‘Let every man gather it according to each one’s vas neka nakupi toga koliko mu treba: jedan need, one omer for each person, according to the gomer za svakoga prema broju vaæih osoba; number of persons; let every man take for those who svaki neka uzme od toga samo za one koji su u njegovu æatoru.’ ” are in his tent.’ ” 17 And the sons of Israel did so and gathered, some 17 Izraelovi sinovi su uçinili tako i nakupili, neki mnogo, neki malo. more, some less. 18 So when they measured it by omers, he who gath- 18 Kad su izmjerili na gomer, nije doælo viæe ered much had nothing over, and he who gathered onomu koji je nakupio mnogo, niti manje onolittle had no lack.

But 20 Svejedno oni nisu posluæali Mojsija, nego su some of them left part of it until morning, and it bred neki saçuvali neæto od toga do jutra, ali to se worms and stank.

I Mojsije rasrdio na njih. 21 So they gathered it every morning, every man ac- 21 Tako bi oni to skupljali svako jutro, svaki kocording to his need. And when the sun became hot, liko bi mu trebalo. Ali çim bi sunce ugrijalo, to bi se rastopilo. it melted. 22 And so it was, on the sixth day, that they gathered 22 A æestoga dana nakupili bi dvaput toliko twice as much bread, two omers for each one.

For the LORD has given you the Sabbath; 29 Gledajte, Gospodin vam dao Subotnji dan, i therefore he gives you on the sixth day bread for two zato vam daje æesti dan hrane za dva dana. days.

Then all the congregation of the sons of Israel set out on their journey from the Wilderness of Sin, according to the commandment of the LORD, and camped in Rephidim; but there was no water for the people to drink. 2 Therefore the people contended with Moses, and said, “Give us water, that we may drink.” And Moses said to them, “Why do you contend with me? Why do you tempt the LORD?” 3 And the people thirsted there for water, and the people murmured against Moses, and said, “Why is it you have brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our livestock with thirst?” 4 So Moses cried out to the LORD, saying, “What shall I do with this people? They are almost ready to stone me!” 5 And the LORD said to Moses, “Go on before the people, and take with you some of the elders of Israel. Also take in your hand your rod with which you struck the river, and go. 6 Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock in Horeb; and you shall strike the rock, and water will come out of it, that the people may drink.” And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel. 7 So he called the name of the place Massah and Meribah, because of the contention of the sons of Israel, and because they tempted the LORD, saying, “Is the LORD among us or not?” 8 Now Amalek came and fought with Israel in Rephidim. 9 And Moses said to Joshua, “Choose us some men and go out, fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in my hand.” 10 So Joshua did as Moses said to him, and fought with Amalek. And Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. 11 And so it was, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. 12 But Moses’ hands became heavy; so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it. And Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. 13 So Joshua defeated Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword. 14 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Write this for a memorial in the book and recount it in the hearing of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.” 15 And Moses built an altar and called its name, TheLORD-Is-My-Banner; 16 for he said, “Because the LORD has sworn: the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.”

Nato je sva zajednica Izraelovih sinova, po zapovijedi Gospodinovoj, krenula dalje na svoj put iz Pustinje Sin, i utaborila se u Refidimu; ali ondje nije bilo pitke vode za narod. 2 Zato se narod posvadio s Mojsijem i povikao: “Daj nam vode da pijemo!” A Mojsije im rekao: “Æto se vi svaåate sa mnom; zaæto kuæate Gospodina?” 3 A narod je ondje œeåao za vodom, i dalje mrmljao protiv Mojsija i govorio: “Zaæto si nas izveo iz Egipta, da œeåu pomoriæ nas i naæu djecu i naæu stoku?” 4 Nato je Mojsije zavapio Gospodinu, govoreøi: “Æto da uçinim s ovim narodom? Joæ samo malo pa øe me kamenovati.” 5 A Gospodin je rekao Mojsiju: “Idi pred narodom, uzmi sobom nekoliko starjeæina izraelskih, i uzmi ætap u ruku kojim si udarao po rijeci, i idi! 6 Gle, ja øu stajati ondje pred tobom na hridi, na Horebu. Udari onda po hridi i voda øe iz nje poteøi da narod moœe piti.” I Mojsije je uçinio tako pred oçima starjeæina izraelskih. 7 Tako je on nazvao mjesto Masa i Meriba, jer su se ondje Izraelovi sinovi svaåali i Gospodina kuæali, govoreøi: “Je li Gospodin meåu nama ili nije?” 8 Nato su doæli Amaleçani i borili se s Izraelovim sinovima u Refidimu. 9 A Mojsije je rekao Joæui: “Izaberi za nas ljude i zametni sutra boj s Amaleçanima. Ja øu se staviti na vrh brda sa Boœjim ætapom u ruci.” 10 Joæua je uçinio kako mu je rekao Mojsije i borio se s Amaleçanima, a Mojsije, Aron i Hur uzaæli su na vrh brda. 11 I tako je bilo da dokle je Mojsije drœao u vis svoje ruke, pobjeåivali su Izraelovi sinovi; a kad bi spustio svoje ruke, pobjeåivali su Amaleçani. 12 Ali su se ruke Mojsijeve umorile, pa su uzeli kamen, te ga stavili pod njega i on je sjeo na njega. A Aron i Hur poduprli mu ruke, jedan s jedne strane, drugi s druge; tako su mu ruke bile u jednakom poloœaju do zalaska sunca. 13 I Joæua je pobijedio Amaleçane i njihovu vojsku oætricom maça. 14 Onda je Gospodin rekao Mojsiju: “Zapiæi to za spomen u knjigu i kaœi Joæui da øu spomen na Amaleçane pod nebom sasvim zatrti!” 15 Onda je Mojsije napravio œrtvenik i nazvao ga Gospodin je stijeg moj; 16 jer je on rekao: “Jer se zakleo Gospodin! Gospodin øe ratovati protiv Amaleka od naraætaja do naraætaja.”

And Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses’ fatherin-law, heard of all that God had done for Moses and for Israel his people–that the LORD had brought Israel out of Egypt. 2 Then Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, took Zipporah, Moses’ wife, after he had sent her back, 3 with her two sons, of whom the name of one was Gershom (for he said, “I have been a stranger in a foreign land”) 4 and the name of the other was Eliezer (for he said,

In the third month after the sons of Israel had gone out of the land of Egypt, on the same day, they came to the Wilderness of Sinai. 2 For they had departed from Rephidim, had come to the Desert of Sinai, and camped in the wilderness. So Israel camped there before the mountain. 3 And Moses went up to God, and the LORD called to him from the mountain, saying, “Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the sons of Israel: 4 You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself. 5 Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to me above all people; for all the earth is mine. 6 ‘And you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words which you shall speak to the sons of Israel.” 7 So Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before them all these words which the LORD commanded him. 8 Then all the people answered together and said, “All that the LORD has spoken we will do.” So Moses brought back the words of the people to the LORD. 9 And the LORD said to Moses, “Behold, I come to you in the thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and believe you forever.” So Moses told the words of the people to the LORD. 10 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go to the people and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes. 11 And let them be ready for the third day. For on the third day the LORD will come down upon Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people. 12 You shall set bounds for the people all around, saying, ‘Take heed to yourselves that you do not go up to the mountain or touch its base. Whoever touches the mountain shall surely be put to death. 13 Not a hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned or shot with an arrow; whether man or beast, he shall not live.’ When the trumpet sounds long, they shall come near the mountain.” 14 Then Moses went down from the mountain to the people and sanctified the people, and they washed their clothes. 15 And he said to the people, “Be ready for the third day; do not come near your wives.” 16 Then it happened on the third day, in the morning, that there were thunderings and lightnings, and a thick cloud on the mountain; and the sound of the trumpet was very loud, so that all the people who were in the camp trembled. 17 And Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet with God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain. 18 Now Mount Sinai was completely in smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire. Its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked greatly. 19 And when the blast of the trumpet sounded long and became louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by voice. 20 Then the LORD came down upon Mount Sinai, on the top of the mountain. And the LORD called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.

Dolazak u Sinajsku pustinju

Treøi mjesec nakon izlaska Izraelovih sinova Levijevih iz egipatske zemlje, u taj isti dan, doæli su u Pustinju Sinaj. 2 Oni su, naime, bili krenuli od Refidima, doæli u Pustinju Sinaj i utaborili se u pustinji. Ondje pred gorom bio se utaborio Izrael. 3 I kad je Mojsije uzaæao k Bogu, povikao mu Gospodin s gore: “Ovo kaœi kuøi Jakovljevoj i objavi Izraelovim sinovima: 4 Vidjeli ste, kako sam postupao s Egipøanima, kako sam vas nosio na krilima orlovim i doveo vas ovamo k sebi. 5 Zato sada ako budete vjerno sluæali moju rijeç i drœali moj zavjet, bit øete moja osobita svojina izmeåu svih naroda, jer moja je sva zemlja. 6 ‘I bit øete mi kraljevstvo sveøenstvo i narod svet.’ To su rijeçi koje øeæ reøi Izraelovim sinovima.” 7 Mojsije je doæao, sazvao starjeæine naroda i priopøio im sve te rijeçi æto mu ih bio zapovjedio Gospodin. 8 Tada je sav narod odgovorio jednoglasno: “Sve æto je Gospodin rekao çinit øemo.” Tako je Mojsije prenio Gospodinu rijeçi naroda. 9 A Gospodin je rekao Mojsiju: “Evo, dolazim k tebi u gustom oblaku, da çuje narod kad s tobom govorim i da ti vjeruje dovijeka.” Mojsije je priopøio Gospodinu rijeçi naroda. 10 Onda je Gospodin rekao Mojsiju: “Idi k narodu i posveti ih danas i sutra, i neka operu svoju odjeøu. 11 i neka budu spremni za treøi dan. Jer øe u taj dan siøi Gospodin na Goru Sinaj pred oçima svega naroda. 12 Oznaçi narodu meåu unaokolo, govoreøi: ‘Çuvajte se da ne uzaåete na goru ili da se i samo dotaknete njezina podnoœja, jer tko se god dotakne gore, zaista øe umrijeti. 13 Nijedna ruka ne smije se njega dotaknuti, nego øe se kamenovati ili ustrijeliti: bio çovjek ili œivinçe, ne smije ostati na œivotu.’ Tek kad zatrubi rog ovnov, smije se pribliœiti gori.” 14 Onda je Mojsije siæao s gore dolje k narodu i on je posvetio narod, a oni su oprali svoju odjeøu. 15 I rekao je narodu: “Budite spremni za treøi dan! Ne smijete se pribliœiti vaæim œenama!” 16 I dogodilo se treøi dan kad je osvanulo jutro, bila je grmljavina gromovi i sijevale su munje. Teæki se oblaci nadvili nad gorom i odjeknuo glas trube veoma jak, tako da je zadrhtao sav narod koji je bio u taboru. 17 A Mojsije je doveo narod iz tabora da se susretne s Bogom, i oni su stajali na podnoœju gore. 18 Gora Sinaj bila je sva u dim ovijena, jer je Gospodin u ognju siæao na nju. Dim se iz nje dizao kao dim iz velike peøi, i sva se gora silno tresla. 19 I kad je glas trube bio dug i sve jaçi i jaçi. Mojsije je govorio, i Bog mu je glasom odgovarao. 20 Tada se Gospodin spustio na Goru Sinaj, na vrh gore. I Gospodin je pozvao Mojsija na vrh gore, i Mojsije je uzaæao.

Now these are the judgments which you shall set before them: 2 If you buy a Hebrew servant, he shall serve six years; and in the seventh he shall go out free and pay nothing. 3 If he comes in by himself, he shall go out by himself; if he comes in married, then his wife shall go out with him. 4 If his master has given him a wife, and she has borne him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her master’s, and he shall go out by himself. 5 But if the servant plainly says, ‘I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free,’ 6 then his master shall bring him to the judges. He shall also bring him to the door, or to the doorpost, and his master shall pierce his ear with an awl; and he shall serve him forever. 7 And if a man sells his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the menservants do. 8 If she does not please her master, who has betrothed her to himself, then he shall let her be redeemed. He shall have no right to sell her to a foreign people, since he has dealt deceitfully with her. 9 And if he has betrothed her to his son, he shall deal with her according to the custom of daughters. 10 If he takes another wife, he shall not diminish her food, her clothing, and her marriage rights. 11 And if he does not do these three for her, then she shall go out free, without paying money. 12 He who strikes a man so that he dies shall surely be put to death. 13 But if he did not lie in wait, but God delivered him into his hand, then I will appoint for you a place where he may flee. 14 But if a man acts with premeditation against his neighbor, to kill him with guile, you shall take him from my altar, that he may die. 15 And he who strikes his father or his mother shall surely be put to death. 16 He who kidnaps a man and sells him, or if he is found in his hand, shall surely be put to death. 17 And he who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death. 18 If men contend with each other, and one strikes the other with a stone or with his fist, and he does not die but is confined to his bed, 19 if he rises again and walks about outside with his staff, then he who struck him shall be acquitted. He shall only pay for the loss of his time, and shall provide for him to be thoroughly healed. 20 And if a man beats his servant or his maidservant with a rod, so that he dies under his hand, he shall surely be punished. 21 Notwithstanding, if he remains alive a day or two, he shall not be punished; for he is his property. 22 If men fight, and hurt a woman with child, so that she gives birth prematurely, yet no lasting harm follows, he shall surely be punished accordingly as the woman’s husband imposes on him; and he shall pay

A ovo su pravni propisi koje øeæ staviti pred njih: 2 Ako kupiæ roba hebrejskoga, neka ti sluœi æest godina, a u sedmoj godini neka se pusti na slobodu bez otkupa. 3 Ako je doæao neoœenjen, neka opet ode neoœenjen; ako je bio oœenjen, neka i njegova œena ide s njim. 4 Ako ga gospodar njegov oœeni, i œena mu rodi sinove ili køeri, œena sa svojom djecom neka pripadnu svojem gospodaru, a on sam neka se pusti na slobodu. 5 Ako li izjavi rob: ‘Volim svojega gospodara, svoju œenu i svoju djecu, neøu iøi na slobodu,’ 6 onda neka ga njegov gospodar dovede pred sud i postavi ga pred vrata ili pred dovratke. Neka mu njegov gospodar probuæi æilom njegovo uho, pa neka mu bude rob dovijeka. 7 Ako netko proda svoju køer u ropstvo, neka ona ne bude puætena na slobodu kao robovi. 8 Ako ona ne bude po volji svojem gospodaru komu je predana da mu bude œena, neka pusti da se otkupi.

If a man steals an ox or a sheep, and slaughters it or sells it, he shall restore five oxen for an ox and four sheep for a sheep. 2 If the thief is found breaking in, and he is struck so that he dies, there shall be no guilt for his bloodshed. 3 If the sun has risen on him, there shall be guilt for his bloodshed. He should make full restitution; if he has nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft. 4 If the theft is certainly found alive in his hand, whether it is an ox or donkey or sheep, he shall restore double. 5 If a man causes a field or vineyard to be grazed, and lets loose his animal, and it feeds in another man’s field, he shall make restitution from the best of his own field and the best of his own vineyard. 6 If fire breaks out and catches in thorns, so that stacked grain, standing grain, or the field is consumed, he who kindled the fire shall surely make restitution. 7 If a man delivers to his neighbor money or articles to keep, and it is stolen out of the man’s house, if the thief is found, he shall pay double. 8 If the thief is not found, then the master of the house shall be brought to the judges to see whether he has put his hand into his neighbor’s goods. 9 For any kind of trespass, whether it concerns an ox, a donkey, a sheep, or clothing, or for any kind of lost thing which another claims to be his, the cause of both parties shall come before the judges; and whomever the judges condemn shall pay double to his neighbor.

Now he said to Moses, “Come up to the LORD, you and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, and worship from afar. 2 And Moses alone shall come near the LORD, but they shall not come near; nor shall the people go up with him.” 3 So Moses came and told the people all the words of the LORD and all the judgments. And all the people answered with one voice and said, “All the words which the LORD has said we will do.” 4 And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD. And he rose early in the morning, and built an altar at the foot of the mountain, and twelve pillars according to the twelve tribes of Israel. 5 Then he sent young men of the sons of Israel, who offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen to the LORD. 6 And Moses took half the blood and put it in basins, and half the blood he sprinkled on the altar. 7 Then he took the book of the Covenant and read in the hearing of the people. And they said, “All that the LORD has said we will do, and be obedient.” 8 And Moses took the blood, sprinkled it on the people, and said, “Behold, the blood of the covenant which the LORD has made with you according to all these words.” 9 Then Moses went up, also Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, 10 and they saw the God of Israel. And there was under his feet as it were a paved work of sapphire stone, and it was like the very heavens in its clarity. 11 But on the nobles of the sons of Israel he did not lay his hand. So they saw God, and they ate and drank. 12 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Come up to me on the mountain and be there; and I will give you tablets of stone, and the law and commandments which I have written, that you may teach them.” 13 So Moses arose with his assistant Joshua, and Moses went up to the mountain of God. 14 And he said to the elders, “Wait here for us until we come back to you. Indeed Aaron and Hur are with you. If any man has a difficulty, let him go to them.” 15 Then Moses went up into the mountain, and a cloud covered the mountain. 16 Now the glory of the LORD rested on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days. And on the seventh day he called to Moses out of the midst of the cloud. 17 The sight of the glory of the LORD was like a consuming fire on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the sons of Israel. 18 So Moses went into the midst of the cloud and went up into the mountain. And Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.

24

Nato je on rekao Mojsiju: “Uzaåi gore Gospodinu: ti i Aron, Nadab i Abihu i sedamdeset izraelskih starjeæina, neka se oni klanjaju izdaleka! 2 Mojsije sam smije pristupiti Gospodinu, a oni ne smiju bliœe pristupiti; niti narod neka ne uzlazi s njim gore.” 3 Mojsije je doæao i objavio narodu sve zapovijedi Gospodinove i sve pravne propise. Sav je narod odgovorio jednoglasno: “Sve zapovijedi koje je dao Gospodin, drœat øemo.” 4 I Mojsije je napisao sve zapovijedi Gospodinove. On je ustao rano ujutro napravio œrtvenik pod gorom i dvanaest kamenih spomenika za dvanaest plemena izraelskih. 5 Onda je rekao mladim ljudima izraelskim da prinesu Gospodinu œrtvu paljenicu i da zakolju junce za œrtvu mirotvomu. 6 Mojsije je uzeo polovicu krvi i ulio u œrtvenu zdjelu, a drugu polovicu krvi izlio na œrtvenik. 7 Onda je uzeo knjigu zavjeta i proçitao ju glasno narodu. Oni su rekli: “Sve æto je zapovjedio Gospodin, çinit øemo pokorno.” 8 I Mojsije je uzeo krv, njom poækropio po narodu i rekao: “Evo, ovo je krv zavjeta koji je Gospodin napravio s vama prema svim ovim rijeçima.” 9 Nato su uzaæli na goru Mojsije, Aron, Nadab, Abihu i sedamdeset starjeæina izraelskih. 10 Oni su vidjeli Boga Izraelova i pod njegovim nogama neæto æto je bili sliçno ploçama od safira i razlijevalo bistar sjaj kao sama nebesa. 11 Ali on nije pruœio svoju ruku prema izabranicima Izraelovih sinova. Tako su oni vidjeli Boga, i jeli su i pili. 12 Onda je Gospodin rekao Mojsiju: “Uzaåi k meni na goru i ostani ondje! Dat øu ti kamene ploçe sa zakona i zapovijedima koje sam napisao da ih njima pouçiæ.” 13 Mojsije se podigao sa svojim slugom Joæuom i uzaæao na goru Boœju. 14 A starjeæinama je rekao: “Çekajte nas ovdje dok se vratimo k vama. Aron i Hur su s vama. Tko ima kakvu razmiricu, neka idu k njima.” 15 Dok je Mojsije uzlazio na goru, pokrio je oblak goru. 16 A slava Gospodinova spustila se na Goru Sinaj, i æest dana pokrivao ju je oblak. Sedmog dana pozvao je on Mojsija iz oblaka. 17 Oçima Izraelovih sinova prikazala se slava Gospodinova kao oganj æto gori na vrhuncu gore, u oçi Izraelovih sinova. 18 Mojsije je poæao unutra usred oblaka kad je posve uzaæao na Goru Sinaj. Çetrdeset dana i çetrdeset noøi ostao je Mojsije na gori.

25

25

Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying: Onda je Gospodin rekao Mojsiju, ovako: 2 “Speak to the sons of Israel, that they bring 2 “Kaœi Izraelovim sinovima, neka za me an offering.

Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying: 2 “See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. 3 And I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship, 4 to design artistic works, to work in gold, in silver, in bronze, 5 in cutting jewels for setting, in carving wood, and to work in all manner of workmanship. 6 And I, indeed I, have appointed with him Aholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and I have put wisdom in the hearts of all who are gifted artisans, that they may make all that I have commanded you: 7 the tabernacle of meeting, the Ark of the Testimony and the mercy seat that is on it, and all the furniture of the tabernacle– 8 the table and its utensils, the pure lampstand with all its utensils, the altar of incense, 9 the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the laver and its base– 10 the garments of ministry, the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments of his sons, to minister as priests, 11 and the anointing oil and sweet incense for the holy place.

Poziv umjetnika. Zapovijed za Subotnji dan

Tada je rekao Gospodin Mojsiju, govoreøi: 2 “Evo, po imenu sam pozvao Bezaleela, sina Urije, unuka Hurova, od plemena Judina, 3 i napunio sam ga duhom Boœjim, u mudrosti, uviåavnosti, razuma i svake vjeætine, 4 da osnuje i izradi umjetniçke radove u zlatu, srebru i mjedi, 5 da kleæe i ukiva drago kamenje, da urezuje drvo, i da izraåuje svakovrsne poslove. 6 Ja sam, doista, odredio mu i Aholiaba, sina Ahisamakova, od plemena Danova, i svima drugim nadarenim zanatlijama udijelio sam mudrost da mogu izraditi sve ono æto sam ti zapovjedio: 7 æator sastanka, ækrinju Svjedoçanstva, pomiriliæte æto je na njemu, i sav namjeætaj æatora; 8 stol i njegov pribor, svjetiljku sa stalkom od çistoga zlata sa svim njezinim priborom i kadioni œrtvenik; 9 œrtvenik kao œrtvu paljenicu sa svim njegovim priborom, umivaonicu i njezino podnoœje; 10 sjajne haljine i sveta odjeøa za sveøenika Arona i haljine njegovim sinovima za sluœbu sveøeniçku; 11 ulje pomazanja i miomirisni k∑d za svetiæte. Sve neka naprave toçno onako kako sam ti zapovjedio.” 12 Onda je rekao Gospodin Mojsiju, govoreøi: 13 “Govori Izraelovim sinovima i kaœi im: ‘Drœite moje Subotnje dane, jer one su znak zavjeta izmeåu mene i vas kroz sve vaæe naraætaje, da vi znate da sam ja, Gospodin, koji vas posveøuje. 14 Stoga øete drœati Subotnji dan, jer vam je on svet.

Now when the people saw that Moses delayed coming down from the mountain, the people gathered together to Aaron, and said to him, “Come, make us gods that shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.” 2 And Aaron said to them, “Break off the golden earrings which are in the ears of your wives, your sons, and your daughters, and bring them to me.” 3 So all the people broke off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them to Aaron. 4 And he received the gold from their hand, and he fashioned it with an engraving tool, and made a molded calf. Then they said, “This is your god, O Israel, that brought you out of the land of Egypt!” 5 So when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it. And Aaron made a proclamation and said, “Tomorrow is a feast to the LORD.” 6 Then they rose early on the next day, offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. 7 And the LORD said to Moses, “Go, get down! For your people whom you brought out of the land of Egypt have corrupted themselves. 8 They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them. They have made themselves a molded calf, and worshiped it and sacrificed to it, and said, ‘This is your god, O Israel, that brought you out of the land of Egypt!’ ” 9 And the LORD said to Moses, “I have seen this people, and indeed it is a stiff-necked people! 10 Now therefore, let me alone, that my wrath may burn hot against them and I may consume them. And I will make of you a great nation.” 11 Then Moses pleaded with the LORD his God, and said: “LORD, why does your wrath burn hot against your people whom you have brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand? 12 Why should the Egyptians speak, and say, ‘He brought them out to harm them, to kill them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth’? Turn from your fierce wrath, and relent from this harm to your people. 13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, to whom you swore by your own self, and said to them, ‘I will multiply your descendants as the stars of heaven; and all this land that I have spoken of I give to your descendants, and they shall inherit it forever.’ ” 14 So the LORD relented from the harm which he said he would do to his people. 15 And Moses turned and went down from the mountain, and the two tablets of the Testimony were in his hand. The tablets were written on both sides; on the one side and on the other they were written. 16 Now the tablets were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God engraved on the tablets. 17 And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses, “There is a noise of war in the camp.”

Kad je vidio narod da Mojsije odugovlaçi silazak s gore, skupio se narod kod Arona i rekao mu: “Hajde, napravi nam boga koji øe iøi pred nama, jer ne znamo æto se dogodilo tomu Mojsiju, çovjeku koji nas izveo iz egipatske zemlje.” 2 Aron im odgovorio: “Poskidajte zlatne nauænice koje nose na uæima vaæe œene, vaæi sinovi, i vaæe køeri, i donesite ih meni.” 3 Tako je sav narod poskidao svoje zlatne nauænice æto su ih nosili na uæima i donijeli ih Aronu. 4 On ih je uzeo od njih, prelio ih i napravio od njih liveno tele. Onda su oni povikali: “Ovo je tvoj bog, Izraele, koji te izveo iz egipatske zemlje.” 5 Kad je to vidio Aron, napravio je œrtvenik pred njim, i proglasio Aron glasno: “Sutra je sveçana gozba Gospodinu!” 6 Sutradan su rano ustali, œrtvovali œrtvu paljenicu i prinijeli œrtvu mirotvornu. I narod je posjedao da jede i pije, i onda se poçeli zabavljati. 7 A Gospodin je rekao Mojsiju: “Idi, siåi dolje, jer tvoj narod æto si ga izveo iz egipatske zemlje, çini zlo. 8 Brzo su zaokrenuli i zaæli s puta æto sam im ga zapovjedio. Napravili su sebi liveno tele, poklonili mu se, prinijeli mu œrtvu i povikali: ‘Ovo je tvoj bog, Izraele, koji te izveo iz egipatske zemlje.’ ” 9 Joæ je Gospodin rekao Mojsiju: “Promatrao sam taj narod, i vjeruj mi, to je narod tvrdovrat. 10 Sad me pusti da se raspali moja srdœba na njega i da ga uniætim, a tebe øu uçinim velikim narodom.” 11 Onda je Mojsije usrdno molio Gospodina, svojega Boga, pa rekao: “Zaæto, Gospodine, da se raspaljuje tvoja srdœba na tvoj narod æto si ga izveo iz egipatske zemlje velikom snagom i jakom rukom? 12 Zaæto da mognu govoriti Egipøani: ‘Lukavo ih izveo da ih pomori u gorama i da ih izbriæe s lica zemlje!’ Povrati se od svoje raspaljene srdœbe, i neka ti bude œao zbog zla æto si ga namijenio svojem narodu. 13 Spomeni se Abrahama, Izaka i Izraela, svojih sluga, kojima si se sam sobom zakleo i obeøao: ‘Umnoœit øu potomstvo vaæe kao zvijezde na nebu i svu tu zemlju, o kojoj sam govorio, dat øu vaæim potomcima, i oni øe ju zauvijek posjedovati.’ ” 14 Tako je Gospodin odustao od zla kojim se bio zaprijetio svojem narodu. 15 I Mojsije se vratio i siæao s gore s obje ploçe zakona u svojoj ruci. Ploçe su bile napisane na obje strane; na jednoj strani i na drugoj bile su napisane. 16 A ploçe su bile od samoga Boga napravljene, i pismo je bilo pismo Boœje na ploçe urezano. 17 A kad je Joæua çuo veliku buku naroda dok su vikali, rekao je Mojsiju: “Bojna vika je u taboru!”

-109Exodus Izlazak 18 But he said: “It is not the voice of those who shout 18 Ali on je odgovorio: “Nije to vika pobjedna, a in victory, nor is it the voice of those who cry out in nije ni onih koji plaçu jer su pobijeåeni, nego çudefeat, but the voice of those who sing that I hear.” jem samo pjevanje.” 19 So it was, as soon as he came near the camp, that 19 I tako je bilo, da çim se pribliœio taboru, he saw the calf and the dancing. So Moses’ anger opazio je tele i ples. Onda se Mojsije raspalio became hot, and he cast the tablets out of his hands gnjevom i bacio ploçe iz ruke i razbio ih pod gorom. and broke them at the foot of the mountain. 20 Then he took the calf which they had made, 20 Onda je uzeo tele koje su bili napravili, burned it in the fire, and ground it to powder; and he spalio ga vatrom i smrvio ga u prah, onda to scattered it on the water and made the sons of Israel prosuo po vodi i prisilio Izraelove sinove da to piju. drink it. 21 And Moses said to Aaron, “What did this people 21 Mojsije je rekao Aronu: “Æto ti je uçinio ovaj do to you that you have brought so great a sin upon narod da si na njega stavio tako veliki grijeh?” 22 Aron je odgovorio: “Nemoj se raspalivati, them?” 22 So Aaron said, “Do not let the anger of my lord moj gospodaru, ta ti sam znaæ kako je zao ovaj become hot. You know the people, that they are set narod. 23 Zatraœili su od mene: ‘Napravi nam boga koji on evil. 23 For they said to me, ‘Make us gods that shall go øe iøi pred nama, jer ne znamo æto bi tomu Mobefore us; as for this Moses, the man who brought us jsiju, çovjeku koji nas izveo iz egipatske zemout of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has lje.’ 24 Ja sam im rekao: ‘Tko ima zlata, neka ga become of him.’ 24 And I said to them, ‘Whoever has any gold, let skine sa sebe.’ I dali su mi ga, i ja sam ga bacio them break it off.’ So they gave it to me, and I cast it u oganj i izaælo je ovo tele.” 25 Kad je Mojsije vidio da je narod bio tako rainto the fire, and this calf came out.” 25 Now when Moses saw that the people were unre- zuzdan, jer mu je Aron bio popustio uzde na strained (for Aaron had not restrained them, to their zloradost njihovih neprijatelja, 26 onda je stao Mojsije na ulaz tabora i povshame among their enemies), 26 then Moses stood in the entrance of the camp, ikao: “Tko je na strani Gospodina, ovamo k and said, “Whoever is on the LORD’s side, let him meni.” Onda su se skupili oko njega svi Levijevi come to me.” And all the sons of Levi gathered them- sinovi. 27 Njima je rekao: “Ovako govori Gospodin, selves together to him. 27 And he said to them, “Thus says the LORD God of Bog Izraelov: ‘Svaki neka pripaæe svoj maç uz Israel: ‘Let every man put his sword on his side, and svoje bedro, i neka ulazi i izlazi od vrata do go in and out from entrance to entrance throughout vrata kroz sav tabor, i neka ubije tko svojega the camp, and let every man kill his brother, every brata, tko svojega prijatelja i tko svojega susman his companion, and every man his neighbor.’ ” jeda.’ ” 28 So the sons of Levi did according to the word of 28 Levijevi sinovi uçinili su po zapovijedi MojsiMoses.

Then the LORD said to Moses, “Depart and go up from here, you and the people whom you have brought out of the land of Egypt, to the land of which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, ‘To your descendants I will give it.’ 2 And I will send my Angel before you, and I will drive out the Canaanite and the Amorite and the Hittite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite. 3 Go up to a land flowing with milk and honey; for I will

And the LORD said to Moses, “Cut two tablets Gospodin je zapovjedio Mojsiju: “Iskleæi of stone like the first ones, and I will write on si dvije kamene ploçe, kao æto su bile these tablets the words that were on the first tablets prve, da napiæem na ploçe zapovijedi æto su which you broke. stajale na prvim ploçama koje si razbio. 2 So be ready in the morning, and come up in the 2 Budi onda spreman za sutra, da rano izaåeæ

Then Moses gathered all the congregation of the sons of Israel together, and said to them, “These are the words which the LORD has commanded you to do: 2 Work shall be done for six days, but the seventh day shall be a holy day for you, a Sabbath of rest to the LORD. Whoever does any work on it shall be put to death. 3 You shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations on the Sabbath day.” 4 And Moses spoke to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, saying, “This is the thing which the LORD commanded, saying: 5 ‘Take from among you an offering to the LORD. Whoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it as an offering to the LORD: gold, silver, and bronze; 6 blue and purple and scarlet yarn, fine linen thread, and goats’ hair; 7 rams’ skins dyed red, badger skins, and acacia wood; 8 oil for the light, and spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense; 9 onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod and in the breastplate. 10 All who are skillful among you shall come and make all that the LORD has commanded: 11 the tabernacle, its tent, its covering, its clasps, its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets; 12 the Ark and its poles, with the mercy seat, and the veil of the covering; 13 the table and its poles, all its utensils, and the showbread;

THE THIRD BOOK OF MOSES

Now the LORD called to Moses, and spoke to him from the tabernacle of meeting, saying, 2 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them: ‘When any one of you brings an offering to the LORD, you shall bring your offering of the livestock–of the herd and of the flock. 3 If his offering is a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish; he shall offer it of his own free will at the door of the tabernacle of meeting before the LORD. 4 Then he shall put his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it will be accepted on his behalf to make atonement for him. 5 He shall kill the bull before the LORD; and the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall bring the blood and sprinkle the blood all around on the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of meeting. 6 And he shall skin the burnt offering and cut it into its pieces. 7 The sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire on the altar, and lay the wood in order on the fire. 8 Then the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall lay the parts, the head, and the fat in order on the wood that is on the fire upon the altar; 9 but he shall wash its entrails and its legs with water. And the priest shall burn all on the altar as a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the LORD. 10 And if his offering is of the flocks–of the sheep or of the goats–as a burnt sacrifice, he shall bring a male without blemish. 11 He shall kill it on the north side of the altar before the LORD; and the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall sprinkle its blood all around on the altar. 12 And he shall cut it into its pieces, with its head and its fat; and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire upon the altar; 13 but he shall wash the entrails and the legs with water. And the priest shall bring it all and burn it on the altar; it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the LORD. 14 And if the burnt sacrifice of his offering to the LORD is of birds, then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves or young pigeons. 15 The priest shall bring it to the altar, wring off its head, and burn it on the altar; its blood shall be drained out at the side of the altar. 16 And he shall remove its crop with its feathers and cast it beside the altar on the east side, into the place for ashes. 17 Then he shall split it at its wings, but shall not divide it completely; and the priest shall burn it on the altar, on the wood that is on the fire. It is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the LORD.’

When anyone offers a grain offering to the LORD, his offering shall be of fine flour. And he shall pour oil on it, and put frankincense on it. 2 He shall bring it to Aaron’s sons, the priests, one of whom shall take from it his handful of fine flour and oil with all the frankincense. And the priest shall burn it as a memorial on the altar, an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the LORD. 3 The rest of the grain offering shall be Aaron’s and his sons’. It is a most holy offering of the offerings to the LORD made by fire. 4 And if you bring as an offering a grain offering baked

Gospodin je pozvao Mojsija i progovorio mu iz æatora sastanka, govoreøi: 2 “Govori Izraelovim sinovima i objavi im: ‘Kad bilo tko od vas donese œrtvu Gospodinu neka prinese œrtvu od stoke, onda prinesite œrtvu od stada goveda i od stada ovaca. 3 Ako je njegova œrtva kao œrtva paljenica od goveda, neka prinese muæko bez mane œivotinju; neka je donese dragovoljno pred ulaz u æator sastanka pred Gospodina. 4 Onda neka poloœi ruku na glavu œrtvi paljenici. I bit øe milostivo primljeno i za njega pribavljeno pomirenje. 5 Onda neka zakolje junca pred Gospodinom, a sveøenici, Aronovi sinovi, neka prinesu krv i, neka krvlju poækrope unaokolo œrtvenik koji stoji na ulazu u æator sastanka. 6 Neka odere œrtvu paljenicu i neka je rasijeçe na dijelove. 7 Sinovi sveøenika Arona neka naloœe oganj na œrtveniku i neka stave drva na oganj. 8 Onda neka sveøenici, Aronovi sinovi, poloœe komade zajedno s glavom i lojem na drva æto su naslagana na ognju na œrtveniku, 9 a droba i noge neka operu u vodi, onda neka sveøenik spali sve zajedno na œrtveniku kao œrtvu paljenicu, œrtva ognjem spaljena na ugodan miris Gospodinu. 10 Ako netko prinese kao œrtvu paljenicu sitnu stoku, ovce ili koze, neka œrtvuje muæko bez mane œivotinju. 11 Neka je zakolje pred Gospodinom na sjevernoj strani œrtvenika; a sveøenici, Aronovi sinovi, neka poækrope krvlju œrtvenik unaokolo. 12 Neka je rasijeçe na dijelove i sveøenik neka ih poloœi zajedno s glavom i lojem na drva æto su naslagana na ognju i na œrtveniku, 13 a droba i noge neka opere. Nato neka sveøenik sve zajedno prinese i spali na œrtveniku. To je œrtva paljenica, œrtva ognjem spaljena na ugodan miris Gospodinu. 14 Ako netko prinese Gospodinu kao œrtvu paljenicu ptice, neka prinese svoju œrtvu grlice ili golubiøe. 15 Sveøenik neka ju donese na œrtvenik, neka joj zaokrene vratom i spali ju na œrtveniku, a krv neka iscuri œrtveniku sa strane. 16 Neka joj ukloni guæu s perjem i baci je pokraj œrtvenika na istoçnu stranu na pepeljinjak. 17 Potom neka ju raspori duœ krila, a da ju ne rastrgne, a sveøenik neka ju spali na œrtveniku na drvima æto su naslagana na ognju, to je œrtva paljenica, œrtva ognjem spaljena na ugodan miris Gospodinu.’

Now the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Speak to the sons of Israel, saying: ‘If a person sins unintentionally against any of the commandments of the LORD in anything which ought not to be done, and does any of them, 3 if the anointed priest sins, bringing guilt on the people, then let him offer to the LORD for his sin which he has sinned a young bull without blemish as a sin offering. 4 He shall bring the bull to the door of the tabernacle of meeting before the LORD, lay his hand on the bull’s head, and kill the bull before the LORD. 5 Then the anointed priest shall take some of the bull’s blood and bring it to the tabernacle of meeting. 6 The priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle some of the blood seven times before the LORD, in front of the veil of the sanctuary. 7 And the priest shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of sweet incense before the LORD, which is in the tabernacle of meeting; and he shall pour the remaining blood of the bull at the base of the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of meeting. 8 He shall take from it all the fat of the bull as the sin offering. The fat that covers the entrails and all the fat which is on the entrails, 9 the two kidneys and the fat that is on them by the flanks, and the fatty lobe attached to the liver above the kidneys, he shall remove, 10 as it was taken from the bull of the sacrifice of the peace offering; and the priest shall burn them on the altar of the burnt offering. 11 But the bull’s hide and all its flesh, with its head and legs, its entrails and offal– 12 the whole bull he shall carry outside the camp to a clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn it on wood with fire; where the ashes are poured out it shall be burned. 13 Now if the whole congregation of Israel sins unintentionally, and the thing is hidden from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done something against any of the commandments of the LORD in anything which should not be done, and are guilty; 14 when the sin which they have sinned becomes known, then the assembly shall offer a young bull for the sin, and bring it before the tabernacle of meeting. 15 And the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands on the head of the bull before the LORD. Then the bull shall be killed before the LORD.

Nato je rekao Gospodin Mojsiju, govoreøi: 2 “Govori Izraelovim sinovima i kaœi im: ‘Ako netko nehotice sagrijeæi protiv koje god zapovijedi Gospodinove i neæto uçini æto ne smije çiniti: 3 ako pomazani sveøenik uçini grijeh po kojemu krivnja pada i na narod, neka on œrtvuje Gospodinu za grijeh koji je uçinio, junca bez mane kao œrtvu za grijeh. 4 Neka dovede junca na ulaz u æator sastanka pred Gospodina, neka poloœi svoju ruku juncu na glavu i zakolje junca pred Gospodinom. 5 Onda neka uzme pomazani sveøenik neæto junçeve krvi i unese ju u æator sastanka. 6 Sveøenik neka umoçi prst svoj u krv i neka s neæto krvi poækropi sedam puta pred Gospodinom, ispred zavjese svetiæta. 7 Onda neka sveøenik namaœe neæto krvi na rogove œrtvenika s miomirisnim kadom æto stoji pred Gospodinom u æatoru sastanka.

And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying: 2 “If a person sins and commits a trespass against the LORD by lying to his neighbor about what was delivered to him for safekeeping, or about a pledge, or about a robbery, or if he has extorted from his neighbor, 3 or if he has found what was lost and lies concerning it, and swears falsely–in any one of these things that a man may do in which he sins: 4 then it shall be, because he has sinned and is guilty, that he shall restore what he has stolen, or the thing which he has deceitfully obtained, or what was delivered to him for safekeeping, or the lost thing which he found, 5 or all that about which he has sworn falsely. He shall restore its full value, add one-fifth more to it, and give it to whomever it belongs, on the day of his trespass offering. 6 And he shall bring his trespass offering to the LORD, a ram without blemish from the flock, with your valuation, as a trespass offering, to the priest. 7 So the priest shall make atonement for him before the LORD, and he shall be forgiven for any one of these things that he may have done in which he trespasses.” 8 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 9 “Command Aaron and his sons, saying, ‘This is the law of the burnt offering: The burnt offering shall be on the hearth upon the altar all night until morning, and the fire of the altar shall be kept burning on it. 10 And the priest shall put on his linen garment, and his linen trousers he shall put on his body, and take up the ashes of the burnt offering which the fire has consumed on the altar, and he shall put them beside the altar. 11 Then he shall take off his garments, put on other garments, and carry the ashes outside the camp to a clean place. 12 And the fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it; it shall not be put out. And the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt offering in order on it; and he shall burn on it the fat of the peace offerings. 13 A perpetual fire shall burn on the altar; it shall never go out. 14 This is the law of the grain offering: The sons of Aaron shall offer it on the altar before the LORD. 15 He shall take from it his handful of the fine flour of the grain offering, with its oil, and all the frankincense which is on the grain offering, and shall burn it on the altar for a sweet aroma, as a memorial to the LORD. 16 And the remainder of it Aaron and his sons shall eat; with unleavened bread it shall be eaten in a holy place; in the court of the tabernacle of meeting they shall eat it. 17 It shall not be baked with leaven. I have given it to them as their portion of my offerings made by fire; it is most holy, like the sin offering and the trespass offering. 18 All the males among the sons of Aaron may eat it. It shall be a statute forever in your generations concerning the offerings made by fire to the LORD. Everyone who touches them shall be holy.’ ” 19 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 20 “This is the offering of Aaron and his sons, which

Nato je rekao Gospodin Mojsiju, govoreøi: 2 “Ako netko sagrijeæi i pronevjeri Gospodinu neæto time da utaji svojem bliœnjemu æto mu je izruçeno u pohranu i povjereno, i tako kraåom ili pritiskom iskoristi i prevari svojega bliœnjega; 3 ili naåe izgubljeno, pa utaji, ili se krivo zakune za koju god stvar, kojom moœe çovjek sagrijeæiti; 4 onda neka bude, kad tako sagrijeæi i skrivi, neka vrati ukradeno i nadoknadi ono ono æto je nepoæteno prisvojio, ili æto mu je bilo izruçeno u pohranu i povjereno, ili izgubljeno æto je on naæao; 5 ili sve ono za æto se krivo zakleo, i to neka vrati u cijeloj svojoj vrijednosti i joæ neka pridoda peti dio iznosa, neka to vrati vlasniku onaj dan kad prinosi œrtvu za svoj prijestup. 6 Neka donese sveøeniku iz svojega stada jednoga ovna bez mane, po tvojoj procjeni, kao œrtvu za prijestup Gospodinu. 7 Tako neka mu sveøenik pribavi pomirenje pred Gospodinom, i bit øe mu sve ono oproæteno, pa bilo kakav prijestup to bio koji je poçinio.” 8 Onda je rekao Gospodin Mojsiju, govoreøi: 9 “Daj Aronu i njegovim sinovima ovu zapovijed: ‘Ovo su uredbe za œrtvu paljenicu: ova œrtva paljenica mora ostati na œrtveniku, gdje je bila zapaljena, cijelu noø sve do jutra; i oganj na œrtveniku mora tako gorjeti neprestano. 10 Sveøenik neka odjene svoju lanenu haljinu i navuçe lanene gaøe na svoje tijelo, i neka uzme pepeo od œrtve paljenice koja je ognjem bila spaljena, i neka ga istrese pokraj œrtvenika. 11 Onda neka svuçe svoje haljine, neka odjene druge haljine i neka iznese pepeo van pred tabor na koje çisto mjesto. 12 Oganj na œrtveniku mora gorjeti neprestano i nikad da se ne smije utrnuti.

“Likewise this is the law of the trespass offering: it is most holy. 2 In the place where they killed the burnt offering they shall kill the trespass offering. And its blood he shall sprinkle all around on the altar. 3 And he shall offer from it all its fat. The fat tail and the fat that covers the entrails, 4 the two kidneys and the fat that is on them by the flanks, and the fatty lobe attached to the liver above the kidneys, he shall remove; 5 and the priest shall burn them on the altar as an offering made by fire to the LORD. It is a trespass offering. 6 Every male among the priests may eat it. It shall be eaten in a holy place. It is most holy. 7 The trespass offering is like the sin offering; there is one law for them both: the priest who makes atonement with it shall have it. 8 And the priest who offers anyone’s burnt offering, that priest shall have for himself the skin of the burnt offering which he has offered. 9 Also every grain offering that is baked in the oven and all that is prepared in the covered pan, or in a pan, shall be the priest’s who offers it. 10 Every grain offering mixed with oil, or dry, shall belong to all the sons of Aaron, to one as much as the other. 11 This is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings which he shall offer to the LORD: 12 If he offers it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer, with the sacrifice of thanksgiving, unleavened cakes mixed with oil, unleavened wafers anointed with oil, or cakes of finely blended flour mixed with oil. 13 Besides the cakes, as his offering he shall offer leavened bread with the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace offering. 14 And from it he shall offer one cake from each of-

Ovo je zakon za œrtvu prijestupa. To je najsvetije! 2 Na mjestu gdje se kolje œrtva paljenica, neka se kolje i œrtva za prijestup, a krvlju njezinom mora se poækropiti œrtvenik unaokolo. 3 Sav loj njezino neka se prinese: tusti rep s lojem æto pokriva droba, 4 oba bubrega s lojem njihovim æto je na slabinama i tusti privjesak na jetrima neka se izvadi s bubrezima. 5 Sveøenik neka to onda spali na œrtveniku kao œrtvu ognjem spaljenu Gospodinu. Tako je to œrtva za prijestup. 6 Svi muæki sveøenici smiju to jesti. Neka se jede na svetom mjestu. To je najsvetije. 7 Œrtva za prijestup je isto kao i œrtva za grijeh; za obje je isti zakon: neka pripadne sveøeniku koji je njom pribavio pomirenje. 8 Sveøeniku koji za nekoga prinosi œrtvu paljenicu, neka pripadne koœa œivotinje od œrtve paljenice koju je prineo. 9 Onda svaki œitni prinos æto je peçen u peøi i sve æto se priredi u kotliøu ili na tavi, neka pripadne sveøeniku koji to prinosi. 10 Ali svaki œitni prinos æto se priredi s uljem ili je suh, neka pripadne jednako svim Aronovim sinovima, jednomu kao i drugomu. 11 Ove uredbe vrijede za œrtvu mirotvornu æto se prinosi Gospodinu. 12 Ako je netko prinosi u zahvalu, onda øe sa œrtvom zahvalnom prinijeti joæ beskvasne kolaçe s uljem zamijeæene i beskvasne mlince uljem namazane i bijelo braæno zamijeæeno s uljem i prireåeno za kolaçe. 13 S kolaçima od kvasnoga tijesta neka prinese svoj prinos zajedno sa njegovom zahvalnom mirotvornom œrtvom. 14 Od toga øe prinijeti po jedan kolaç kod sva-

And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying: 2 “Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, the anointing oil, a bull as the sin offering, two rams, and a basket of unleavened bread; 3 and gather all the congregation together at the door of the tabernacle of meeting.” 4 So Moses did as the LORD commanded him. And the assembly was gathered together at the door of the tabernacle of meeting. 5 And Moses said to the congregation, “This is what the LORD commanded to be done.” 6 Then Moses brought Aaron and his sons and washed them with water. 7 And he put the tunic on him, girded him with the sash, clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod on him; and he girded him with the intricately woven band of the ephod, and with it tied the ephod on him. 8 Then he put the breastplate on him, and he put the Urim and the Thummim in the breastplate. 9 And he put the turban on his head. Also on the turban, on its front, he put the golden plate, the holy crown, as the LORD had commanded Moses. 10 Then Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle and all that was in it, and sanctified them. 11 He sprinkled some of it on the altar seven times, anointed the altar and all its utensils, and the laver and its base, to sanctify them. 12 And he poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron’s head and anointed him, to sanctify him. 13 Then Moses brought Aaron’s sons and put tunics on them, girded them with sashes, and put hats on them, as the LORD had commanded Moses. 14 And he brought the bull for the sin offering. Then Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the bull for the sin offering, 15 and Moses killed it. Then he took the blood, and put some on the horns of the altar all around with his finger, and purified the altar; and he poured the blood at the base of the altar, and sanctified it, to make atonement for it. 16 Then he took all the fat that was on the entrails, the fatty lobe attached to the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat, and Moses burned them on the altar. 17 But the bull, its hide, its flesh, and its offal, he burned with fire outside the camp, as the LORD had commanded Moses. 18 Then he brought the ram as the burnt offering. And Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram, 19 and Moses killed it. Then he sprinkled the blood all around on the altar. 20 And he cut the ram into pieces; and Moses burned the head, the pieces, and the fat. 21 Then he washed the entrails and the legs in water. And Moses burned the whole ram on the altar. It was a burnt sacrifice for a sweet aroma, and an offering made by fire to the L ORD , as the L ORD had commanded Moses. 22 And he brought the second ram, the ram of consecration. Then Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram,

Posveøenje sveøenika

Nato je rekao Gospodin Mojsiju, govoreøi: 2 “Uzmi Arona i s njim njegove sinove, i svetu odjeøu i ulje pomazanja, junca kao œrtvu za grijeh dva ovna i koæaru beskvasnih kruhova. 3 Onda skupi svu zajednicu na ulazu u æator sastanka.” 4 Mojsije je uçinio kako mu je zapovjedio Gospodin i zajednica se skupila na ulazu u æator sastanka. 5 Onda je Mojsije rekao zajednici: “Ovo je sve zapovjedio Gospodin da se uçini.” 6 I doveo je Mojsije Arona i njegove sinove i oprao ih vodom. 7 I odjenuo mu koæulju, opasao ga pojasom, ogrnuo ga ogrtaçem, stavio mu povrh njega opleøak, stegao mu pojas opleøka i tako ga priçvrstio na njemu. 8 Onda priçvrstio na istom naprsnik i stavio u naprsnik Urim i Tumim. 9 I stavio mu kapu na glavu i priçvrstio sprijeda na kapu zlatnu çeonu ploçicu, svetu krunu, kako je zapovjedio Gospodin Mojsiju. 10 Onda je Mojsije uzeo ulje pomazanja, pomazao sveto Prebivaliæte i sve u njemu i tako ga posvetio. 11 Poækropio neæto sedam puta na œrtvenik i pomazao œrtvenik, i sav njegov pribor njegovu umivaonicu i njezino podnoœje, da ih posveti. 12 On je izlio Aronu neæto ulja pomazanja na glavu i pomazao ga da ga tako posveti 13 Nato je doveo Mojsije Aronove sinove, odjenuo im koæulje, opasao ih pojasom i stavio im visoke kape na glave, kako je zapovjedio Gospodin Mojsiju. 14 I doveo je junca kao œrtvu za grijeh i Aron i njegovi sinovi poloœili su svoje ruke na glavu juncu œrtve za grijeh, 15 i Mojsije ga zaklao. Onda je uzeo krvi svojim prstima, namazao je na rogove œrtvenika unaokolo, i oçistio tako œrtvenik od grijeha. Ostalu krv izlio je na podnoœje œrtvenika, i posvetio ga kad ga je oçistio. 16 Onda je uzeo sav loj æto je pokrivao droba i tusti privjesak na jetrima i oba bubrega s njihovim lojem i to je Mojsije spalio na œrtveniku. 17 Junca, koœu njegovu, meso njegovo i droba i izmetinu spalio izvan tabora, kako je zapovjedio Gospodin Mojsiju. 18 Onda je doveo ovna kao œrtvu paljenicu, i Aron i njegovi sinovi poloœili svoje ruke na glavu ovnu, 19 a Mojsije ga zaklao i poækropio krvlju œrtvenik unaokolo. 20 Rasjekao ovna na njegove dijelove i Mojsije je spalio glavu i komade i loj. 21 Droba i noge oprao vodom. Onda je spalio Mojsije cijelog ovna na œrtveniku. Tako je to bila œrtva paljenica, œrtva ognjem spaljena na ugodan miris Gospodinu, kako je Gospodin zapovjedio Mojsiju. 22 Nato je doveo drugoga ovna, ovna za posveøenje, i Aron i njegovi sinovi poloœili su svoje ruke na glavu ovnu.

LORD had commanded by the hand of Moses.

It happened on the eighth day that Moses called Aaron and his sons and the elders of Israel. 2 And he said to Aaron, “Take for yourself a young bull as a sin offering and a ram as a burnt offering, without blemish, and offer them before the LORD. 3 And to the sons of Israel you shall speak, saying, ‘Take a kid of the goats as a sin offering, and a calf and a lamb, both of the first year, without blemish, as a burnt offering, 4 also a bull and a ram as peace offerings, to sacrifice before the LORD, and a grain offering mixed with oil; for today the LORD will appear to you.’ ” 5 So they brought what Moses commanded before the tabernacle of meeting. And all the congregation drew near and stood before the LORD. 6 Then Moses said, “This is the thing which the LORD commanded you to do, and the glory of the LORD will appear to you.” 7 And Moses said to Aaron, “Go to the altar, offer

I bilo je na osmi dan da je Mojsije pozvao Arona i njegove sinove i starjeæine Izraelove 2 i rekao Aronu: “Uzmi sebi junca kao œrtvu za grijehe i ovna kao œrtvu paljenicu, oba bez mane i prinesi ih pred Gospodinom. 3 A Izraelovim sinovima zapovjedi, govoreøi: ‘Uzmite jarca kao œrtvu za grijehe i tele i ovcu, oboje od jedne godine i bez mane, kao œrtvu paljenicu. 4 I vola i ovna kao œrtvu mirotvornu da ih œrtvujete pred Gospodinom, i œitni prinos s uljem zamijeæen, jer danas øe vam se objaviti Gospodin.’ ” 5 Donijeli su onda to æto je zapovjedio Mojsije pred æator sastanka i sva je zajednica doæla u blizinu i stupila pred Gospodina. 6 Onda je rekao Mojsije: “Ovo vam je Gospodin zapovjedio çiniti, i slava Gospodinova øe vam se prikazati.” 7 I Mojsije je rekao Aronu: “Stupi na œrtvenik i

Then Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer and put fire in it, put incense on it, and offered profane fire before the LORD, which he had not commanded them. 2 So fire went out from the LORD and devoured them, and they died before the LORD. 3 Then Moses said to Aaron, “This is what the LORD spoke, saying: ‘By those who come near me I must be regarded as holy; and before all the people I must be glorified.’ ” So Aaron held his peace. 4 And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said to them, “Come near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp.” 5 So they went near and carried them by their tunics out of the camp, as Moses had said. 6 And Moses said to Aaron, and to Eleazar and Ithamar, his sons, “Do not uncover your heads nor

Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “This shall be the law of the leper for the day of his cleansing: He shall be brought to the priest. 3 And the priest shall go out of the camp, and the priest shall look; and indeed, if the leprosy is healed in the leper, 4 then the priest shall command to take for him who is to be cleansed two living and clean birds, cedar wood, scarlet, and hyssop. 5 And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in an earthen vessel over running water. 6 As for the living bird, he shall take it, the cedar wood and the scarlet and the hyssop, and dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water. 7 And he shall sprinkle it seven times on him who is to be cleansed from the leprosy, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird loose in the open field.

And the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, 2 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them: ‘When any man has a discharge from his body, his discharge is unclean. 3 And this shall be his uncleanness in regard to his discharge–whether his body runs with his discharge, or his body is stopped up by his discharge, it is his uncleanness. 4 Every bed is unclean on which he who has the discharge lies, and everything on which he sits shall be unclean. 5 And whoever touches his bed shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and be unclean until evening. 6 He who sits on anything on which he who has the discharge sat shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and be unclean until evening. 7 And he who touches the body of him who has the discharge shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and be unclean until evening. 8 If he who has the discharge spits on him who is clean, then he shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and be unclean until evening. 9 Any saddle on which he who has the discharge rides shall be unclean. 10 Whoever touches anything that was under him shall be unclean until evening. He who carries any of those things shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and be unclean until evening. 11 And whomever he who has the discharge touches, and has not rinsed his hands in water, he shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and be unclean until evening. 12 The vessel of earth that he who has the discharge touches shall be broken, and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water. 13 And when he who has a discharge is cleansed of his discharge, then he shall count for himself seven days for his cleansing, wash his clothes, and bathe his body in running water; then he shall be clean. 14 On the eighth day he shall take for himself two turtledoves or two young pigeons, and come before the LORD, to the door of the tabernacle of meeting, and give them to the priest. 15 Then the priest shall offer them, the one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering. So the priest shall make atonement for him before the LORD because of his discharge. 16 If any man has an emission of semen, then he shall wash all his body in water, and be unclean until evening. 17 And any garment and any leather on which there is semen, it shall be washed with water, and be unclean until evening. 18 Also, when a woman lies with a man, and there is an emission of semen, they both shall bathe in water, and be unclean until evening.

Tako neka mu sveøenik pribavi zbog izljeva pomirenje pred Gospodinom. 16 Ako komu çovjeku isteçe sjeme, onda neka on okupa cijelo tijelo svoje, i bit øe neçist do veçeri. 17 Odjeøa i stvar od koœe na koju je doælo sjeme, mora se vodom oprati i neçista je do veçeri. 18 Ako tko bude sa œenom tako da isteçe sjeme, moraju se oboje okupati i neçisti su do veçeri.

Now the LORD spoke to Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they offered profane fire before the LORD, and died; 2 and the LORD said to Moses: “Tell Aaron your brother not to come at simply any time into the Holy Place inside the veil, before the mercy seat which is on the Ark, lest he die; for I will appear in the cloud above the mercy seat. 3 Thus Aaron shall come into the Holy Place: with the blood of a young bull as a sin offering, and of a ram as a burnt offering. 4 He shall put the holy linen tunic and the linen trousers on his body; he shall be girded with a linen sash, and with the linen turban he shall be attired. These are holy garments. Therefore he shall wash his body in water, and put them on. 5 And he shall take from the congregation of the sons of Israel two kids of the goats as a sin offering, and one ram as a burnt offering. 6 Aaron shall offer the bull as a sin offering, which is for himself, and make atonement for himself and for

Gospodin je govorio Mojsiju nakon smrti obojice Aronovih sinova, kad su prinosili nezakonitu vatru pred Gospodina, i umrli. 2 Gospodin je rekao Mojsiju: “Kaœi svojem bratu Aronu da ne smije u svako doba uøi u Sveto Mjesto iza zavjese, pred pomiriliæte odozgor na ækrinji, inaçe mora umrijeti, jer øu se ja pojaviti u oblaku nad pomiriliætem. 3 Aron smije uøi u Sveto Mjesto, s juncem kao œrtvom za grijeh i s ovnom kao œrtvom paljenicom. 4 On mora nositi svetu lanenu koæulju, lanene gaøe moraju pokrivati golo tijelo, lanenim pojasom mora biti opasan i lanenu kapu mora staviti na glavu. To je sveta odjeøa koju on mora odjenuti, poæto se okupao. 5 Od zajednice Izraelovih sinova neka uzme sebi dva jarca kao œrtvu za grijeh i jednoga ovna kao œrtvu paljenicu. 6 Onda neka Aron prinese junca æto je odreåen kao œrtvu za grijeh i pribaviti sebi i svojoj kuøi

He has shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among his people, 5 to the end that the sons of Israel may bring their sacrifices which they offer in the open field, that they may bring them to the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of meeting, to the priest, and offer them as peace offerings to the LORD. 6 And the priest shall sprinkle the blood on the altar of the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of meeting, and burn the fat for a sweet aroma to the LORD. 7 They shall no more offer their sacrifices to demons, after whom they have played the harlot. This shall be a statute forever for them throughout their generations.’ 8 And you shall say to them: ‘Whatever man of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who sojourn among you, who offers a burnt offering or sacrifice, 9 and does not bring it to the door of the tabernacle of meeting, to offer it to the LORD, that man shall be cut off from among his people. 10 And whatever man of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who sojourn among you, who eats any blood, I will set my face against that person who eats blood, and will cut him off from among his people. 11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.’ 12 Therefore I said to the sons of Israel, ‘No one

On je prolio krv; takav neka se iskorijeni iz svojega naroda. 5 Zato neka Izraelovi sinovi svoje œivotinje klanice, æto su ih do sada klali na slobodnu polju, dovedu k sveøeniku pred Gospodina na ulaz u æator sastanka i prinesu ih kao œrtve mirotvorne Gospodinu. 6 Sveøenik neka poækropi krvlju Gospodinov œrtvenik pred ulazom u æator sastanka i neka spali loj na ugodan miris Gospodinu. 7 Oni neka viæe ne prinose svojih œrtava klanica zlodusima, s kojima su do sada çinili preljub. Ovo neka im je vjeçita uredba kroz sve njihove naraætaje.’ 8 A ti im kaœi: ‘Ako jedan Izraelac ili doæljak koji boravi kod njih, prinese œrtvu paljenicu ili œrtvu klanicu, 9 a da je ne dovede na ulaz u æator sastanka da je ondje œrtvuje Gospodinu, onda taj neka se iskorijeni iz svojega naroda. 10 Ako bilo koji Izraelac ili doæljak koji boravi kod njih, jede bilo koju krv, ja øu postupiti protiv takva çovjeka, koji jede krv, i iskorijeniti ga iz njegova naroda. 11 Jer œivot tijela je u krvi. Ja sam vam dao da danom na œrtveniku obavljate pomirenje za vaæe duæe; krv, naime, pribavlja pomirenje, jer je œivot u njoj.’ 12 Zato sam rekao Izraelovim sinovima: ‘Nitko

Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them: ‘I am the LORD your God. 3 According to the doings of the land of Egypt, where you dwelt, you shall not do; and according to the doings of the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you, you shall not do; nor shall you walk in their ordinances. 4 You shall observe my judgments and keep my ordinances, to walk in them: I am the LORD your God. 5 You shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, which if a man does, he shall live by them: I am the LORD. 6 None of you shall approach anyone who is near of kin to him, to uncover his nakedness: I am the LORD. 7 The nakedness of your father or the nakedness of your mother you shall not uncover. She is your mother; you shall not uncover her nakedness. 8 The nakedness of your father’s wife you shall not uncover; it is your father’s nakedness. 9 The nakedness of your sister, the daughter of your father, or the daughter of your mother, whether born at home or elsewhere, their nakedness you shall not uncover. 10 The nakedness of your son’s daughter or your daughter’s daughter, their nakedness you shall not uncover; for theirs is your own nakedness. 11 The nakedness of your father’s wife’s daughter, begotten by your father–she is your sister–you shall not uncover her nakedness. 12 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s sister; she is near of kin to your father. 13 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister, for she is near of kin to your mother. 14 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s brother. You shall not approach his wife; she is your aunt. 15 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law–she is your son’s wife–you shall not uncover her nakedness. 16 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother’s wife; it is your brother’s nakedness. 17 You shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, nor shall you take her son’s daughter or her daughter’s daughter, to uncover her nakedness. They are near of kin to her. It is wickedness. 18 Nor shall you take a woman as a rival to her sister, to uncover her nakedness while the other is alive. 19 Also you shall not approach a woman to uncover her nakedness as long as she is in her customary impurity. 20 Moreover you shall not lie carnally with your neighbor’s wife, to defile yourself with her.

Onda je rekao Gospodin Mojsiju, govoreøi: 2 “Govori Izraelovim sinovima i kaœi im: ‘Ja sam Gospodin vaæ Bog. 3 Ne smijete çiniti æto se çini u zemlji Egipat gdje ste prebivali, i ne smijete çiniti æto se çini u zemlji Kanaanaca, kamo øu vas voditi; ni po njihovim uredbama ne smijete œivjeti! 4 Nego vræite moje propise, œivite i hodite po mojim uredbama. Ja sam Gospodin, vaæ Bog. 5 Stoga drœite moje pravne propise i moje uredbe; tko ih vræi imat øe po njima œivot.

Jer roåena je od tvojega oca–ona ti je sestra–ne smijeæ otkrivati njezine golotinje! 12 Ne smijeæ otkrivati golotinje sestre svojega oca; jer je to rodna krv tvojega oca. 13 Ne smijeæ otkrivati golotinje sestre svoje majke; jer je to rodna krv tvoje majke. 14 Ne smijeæ otkrivati golotinje œene brata svojega oca! K œeni njegovoj ne smijeæ se pribliœiti; ona je tvoja strina. 15 Ne smijeæ otkrivati golotinje svoje snahe– ona je œena tvojega sina; ne smijeæ otkrivati njezine golotinje! 16 Ne smijeæ otkrivati golotinje œene svojega brata; to je golotinja tvojega brata! 17 Ne smijeæ otkrivati golotinje œene i ujedno sa køeri njezinom! Køeri njezina sina ili køeri od njezine køeri ne smijeæ uzeti da otkrijeæ njihovu golotinju! To je krvna obitelj i bilo bi zlodjelo. 18 Ne smijeæ uzimati œeninu sestru i time izazivati ljubomoru, da otkrijeæ njezinu golotinju dok joæ œena œivi! 19 Ne smijeæ se pribliœiti œeni u vrijeme njezine neçistoøe da otkrijeæ njezinu golotinju! 20 Ne smijeæ leøi sa œenom svojega bliœnjega; njom bi se oneçistio.

And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Speak to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, and say to them: ‘You shall be holy, for I the LORD your God am holy. 3 Every one of you shall revere his mother and his father, and keep my Sabbaths: I am the LORD your God. 4 Do not turn to idols, nor make for yourselves molded gods: I am the LORD your God. 5 And if you offer a sacrifice of peace offering to the LORD, you shall offer it of your own free will. 6 It shall be eaten the same day you offer it, and on the next day. And if any remains until the third day, it shall be burned in the fire. 7 And if it is eaten at all on the third day, it is an abomination. It shall not be accepted. 8 Therefore everyone who eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has profaned the hallowed offering of the LORD; and that person shall be cut off from his people. 9 When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field, nor shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest. 10 And you shall not glean your vineyard, nor shall you gather every grape of your vineyard; you shall leave them for the poor and the stranger: I am the LORD your God. 11 You shall not steal, nor deal falsely, nor lie to one another. 12 And you shall not swear by My name falsely, nor shall you profane the name of your God: I am the LORD. 13 You shall not defraud your neighbor, nor rob him. The wages of him who is hired shall not remain with you all night until morning. 14 You shall not curse the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock before the blind, but shall fear your God: I am the LORD. 15 You shall do no injustice in judgment. You shall not be partial to the poor, nor honor the person of the

Nato je rekao Gospodin Mojsiju, govoreøi: 2 “Govori cijeloj zajednici Izraelovih sinova i kaœi im ovo: ‘Budite sveti, jer sam ja, Gospodin, vaæ Bog, svet. 3 Svaki neka poætuje svojega oca i svoju majku i neka drœi moje Subotnje dane!

Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Speak to Aaron and his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of the sons of Israel, and that they do not profane my holy name in those things which they sanctify to me: I am the LORD. 3 Say to them: ‘Whoever of all your descendants throughout your generations, who goes near the holy things which the sons of Israel sanctify to the LORD, while he has uncleanness upon him, that person shall be cut off from my presence: I am the LORD. 4 Whatever man of the descendants of Aaron, who is a leper or has a discharge, shall not eat the holy offerings until he is clean. And whoever touches anything made unclean by a corpse, or a man who has had an emission of semen, 5 or whoever touches any creeping thing by which he would be made unclean, or any person by whom he would become unclean, whatever his uncleanness may be– 6 the person who has touched any such thing shall be unclean until evening, and shall not eat the holy offerings unless he washes his body with water. 7 And when the sun goes down he shall be clean; and afterward he may eat the holy offerings, because it is his food. 8 Whatever dies naturally or is torn by beasts he shall not eat, to defile himself with it: I am the LORD. 9 They shall therefore keep my ordinance, lest they bear sin for it and die thereby, if they profane it: I the LORD sanctify them. 10 No outsider shall eat the holy offering; one who sojourns with the priest, or a hired servant, shall not eat the holy thing. 11 But if the priest buys a person with his money, he may eat it; and one who is born in his house may eat his food. 12 If the priest’s daughter is married to an outsider, she may not eat of the holy offerings. 13 But if the priest’s daughter is a widow or divorced, and has no child, and has returned to her father’s house as in her youth, she may eat her father’s food; but no outsider shall eat it. 14 And if a man eats the holy offering unintentionally, then he shall restore a holy offering to the priest, and add one-fifth to it. 15 They shall not profane the holy offerings of the sons of Israel, which they offer to the LORD, 16 or allow them to bear the guilt of trespass when they eat their holy offerings; for I the LORD sanctify them.’ ” 17 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 18 Speak to Aaron and his sons, and to all the sons of Israel, and say to them: ‘Whatever man of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, who offers his sacrifice for any of his vows or for any of his freewill offerings, which they offer to the LORD as a burnt offering– 19 you shall offer of your own free will a male without blemish from the cattle, from the sheep, or from the goats. 20 But whatever has a defect, you shall not offer, for it shall not be acceptable on your behalf.

Tada je rekao Gospodin Mojsiju, govoreøi: 2 “Govori Aronu i njegovim sinovima da se odvoje od svetih stvari Izraelovih sinova i da ne obeæçaæøuju sveto Ime moje. Ja sam Gospodin. 3 Kaœi im ovako: ‘Ako ikad itko izmeåu svih potomaka vaæih pristupi, u stanju neçistoøe, k svetim darovima koje Izraelovi sinovi posveøuju Gospodinu, taj çovjek neka se ukloni ispred mene. Ja sam Gospodin. 4 Tko izmeåu Aronovih potomaka trpi od gube ili izljeva, ne smije jesti od svetih darova dok nije opet çist. Tko se dotakne koga god koji se oneçistio od mrtva tijela, ili tko se oskvrnuo, 5 ili tko dotakne œivotinju æto gmiœe po zemlji, od çega se on oneçistio, ili çovjeka od koga navuçe na sebe bilo koju neçistoøu, 6 tko se, dakle, dotakne takvog çega, ostaje neçist do veçeri i neka ne jede niæta od svetih prinosa dok se nije okupao. 7 A kad zaåe sunce, on je opet çist i tada smije jesti od svetih prinosa, jer oni mu dolaze kao hrana. 8 Od œivotinje poginule ili rastrgane ne smije jesti. On bi se tim oneçistio. Ja sam Gospodin. 9 Stoga oni moraju drœati moje uredbe, inaçe bi sagrijeæili i morali umrijeti, ako su ga oskvrnuli posveøeno.

And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them: ‘The feasts of the LORD, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, these are my feasts. 3 Six days shall work be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation. You shall do no work on it; it is the Sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings. 4 These are the feasts of the LORD, holy convocations which you shall proclaim at their appointed times. 5 On the fourteenth day of the first month at twilight is the LORD’s Passover. 6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the Feast of Unleavened Bread to the LORD; seven days you must eat unleavened bread. 7 On the first day you shall have a holy convocation; you shall do no customary work on it. 8 But you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD for seven days. The seventh day shall be a holy convocation; you shall do no customary work on it.’ ” 9 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 10 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them: ‘When you come into the land which I give to you, and reap its harvest, then you shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest to the priest. 11 He shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted on your behalf; on the day after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it. 12 And you shall offer on that day, when you wave the sheaf, a male lamb of the first year, without blemish, as a burnt offering to the LORD. 13 Its grain offering shall be two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil, an offering made by fire to the LORD, for a sweet aroma; and its drink offering

And the LORD spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai, saying, 2 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them: ‘When you come into the land which I give you, then the land shall keep a Sabbath to the LORD. 3 Six years you shall sow your field, and six years you shall prune your vineyard, and gather in its fruit; 4 but in the seventh year there shall be a Sabbath of solemn rest for the land, a Sabbath to the LORD. You shall neither sow your field nor prune your vineyard. 5 What grows of its own accord of your harvest you shall not reap, nor gather the grapes of your untended vine, for it is a year of rest for the land. 6 And the Sabbath produce of the land shall be food for you: for you and your servant, for your maidservant and your hired servant, for the stranger who sojourns with you, 7 for your livestock and the animals that are in your land–all its produce shall be for food. 8 And you shall count seven Sabbaths of years for yourself, seven times seven years; and the time of the seven Sabbaths of years shall be to you fortynine years. 9 Then you shall cause the trumpet of the Jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the Day of Atonement you shall make the trumpet to sound throughout all your land. 10 And you shall consecrate the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a Jubilee for you; and each of you shall return to his possession, and each of you shall return to his family. 11 That fiftieth year shall be a Jubilee to you; in it you shall neither sow nor reap what grows of its own accord, nor gather the grapes of your untended vine. 12 For it is the Jubilee; it shall be holy to you; you shall eat its produce from the field. 13 In this Year of Jubilee, each of you shall return to his possession. 14 And if you sell anything to your neighbor or buy from your neighbor’s hand, you shall not oppress one another. 15 According to the number of years after the Jubilee you shall buy from your neighbor, and according to the number of years of crops he shall sell to you.

Subotnja i jubilejska godina

Gospodin je rekao Mojsiju na Gori Sinaj, govoreøi: 2 “Objavi Izraelovim sinovima ovu zapovijed: ‘Kad doåete u zemlju koju vam dajem, onda neka zemlja drœi Subotnji dan u çast Gospodinu. 3 Æest godina zasijavajte svoje polje, æest godina obrezujte svoj vinograd i skupljate ljetinu svojega polja. 4 Ali u sedmoj godini neka zemlja ima potpun odmor, to je Subotnji dan u çast Gospodinu. Onda ne smijete zasijavati svoja polja i gojiti svojega vinograda. 5 I prijaænje œetve æto uzraste samo od sebe, ne smijete poœeti i groœåa svojega neobrezana vinograda ne smijete pobrati. Neka bude za zemlju godina odmora. 6 Æto urodi zemlja za svojega odmora, neka vam bude za hranu, tebi, tvojim slugama, sluækinjama, najamnicima i ukuøanima æto œive kod tebe. 7 I stoci tvojoj i zvjeradi u tvojoj zemlji neka bude sav urod za hranu. 8 Nabroji sedam takvih godina odmora dakle sedam puta sedam godina, tako da vrijeme od sedam godina odmora iznese çetrdeset i devet godina. 9 Onda daj da glasno zatrubi truba u deseti dan sedmoga mjeseca! Na Dan pomirenja neka posvuda u zemlji odjeknu buçne trube. 10 Posvetite godinu pedesetu i proglasite slobodu za sve stanovnike u zemlji. To neka vam je jubilejska godina, u kojoj opet svaki dolazi u posjed svojega vlasniætva i svojoj obitelji se vraøa. 11 Pedeseta godina neka vam je Jubilej; u njoj ne sijte, ne œanjite ono æto uzraste samo od sebe, ni groœåa ne berite u negajenom vinogradu. 12 Jer je to Jubilej, neka vam je sveto! Hranite se onim æto uraste samo od sebe na polju. 13 U takvoj jubilejskoj godini neka svaki od vas opet doåe na svoje vlasniætvo. 14 Ako prodate æto svojem bliœnjemu ili kupite æto od svojega bliœnjega, onda ne smijete zakidati jedan drugoga, 15 nego prema broju godina, od posljednje jubilejske godine, kupujte od svojega bliœnjega i prema broju godina œetve neka ti on prodaje.

Numbers The Fourth Book Of Moses

Now the LORD spoke to Moses in the Wilderness of Sinai, in the tabernacle of meeting, on the first day of the second month, in the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying: 2 “Take a census of all the congregation of the sons of Israel, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of names, every male individually, 3 from twenty years old and above–all who are able to go to war in Israel. You and Aaron shall number them by their armies. 4 And with you there shall be a man from every tribe, each one the head of his father’s house. 5 These are the names of the men who shall stand with you: from Reuben, Elizur the son of Shedeur; 6 from Simeon, Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai; 7 from Judah, Nahshon the son of Amminadab; 8 from Issachar, Nethaneel the son of Zuar; 9 from Zebulun, Eliab the son of Helon; 10 from the sons of Joseph: from Ephraim, Elishama the son of Ammihud; from Manasseh, Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur; 11 from Benjamin, Abidan the son of Gideoni; 12 from Dan, Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai; 13 from Asher, Pagiel the son of Ocran; 14 from Gad, Eliasaph the son of Deuel; 15 from Naphtali, Ahira the son of Enan.” 16 These were chosen from the congregation, leaders of their fathers’ tribes, heads of the divisions in Israel. 17 Then Moses and Aaron took these men who had been mentioned by name, 18 and they assembled all the congregation together on the first day of the second month; and they recited their ancestry by families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, each one individually. 19 As the LORD commanded Moses, so he numbered them in the Wilderness of Sinai. 20 Now the sons of Reuben, Israel’s oldest son, their genealogies by their families, by their fathers’ house, according to the number of names, every male individually, from twenty years old and above, all who were able to go to war: 21 those who were numbered of the tribe of Reuben were forty-six thousand five hundred. 22 From the sons of Simeon, their genealogies by their families, by their fathers’ house, of those who were numbered, according to the number of names, every male individually, from twenty years old and above, all who were able to go to war:

Prvi dan drugoga mjeseca, u drugoj godini po izlasku iz egipatske zemlje, Gospodin je rekao Mojsiju u Pustinji Sinaj u æatoru sastanka, govoreøi: 2 “Izbrojite svu zajednicu Izraelovih sinova po njihovim obiteljima, po njihovom oçinskom domu tako da izbrojite imena svih muækaraca, glavu po glavu. 3 Od dvadeset godina pa na viæe izbrojite ti i Aron sve koji mogu iøi na vojsku u Izraelu, po njihovim redovima. 4 S vama neka bude po jedan muœ od svakoga plemena, svaki koji je vladar oçeva doma. 5 Ovo su imena muœeva koji neka vas pomaœu: od Rubena Elisur, sin Æedeurov; 6 od Simeona Æelumiel, sin Suriæadajev; 7 od Jude Nahæon, sin Aminadabov; 8 od Isakara Netanel, sin Zuarov; 9 od Zebuluna Eliab, sin Helonov; 10 od Josipovih sinova: od Efraima Eliæama, sin Amihudov; od Manaseha Gamaliel, sin Pedahsurov; 11 od Benjamina Abidan, sin Gideonov; 12 od Dana Ahiezer, sin Amiæadajev; 13 od Aæera Pagiel, sin Okranov; 14 od Gada Eliasaf, sin Deuelov; 15 od Naftalija Ahira, sin Enanov.” 16 To su oni koji su bili izabrani iz zajednice, knezovi oçinskih plemena, Izraelovih glavara tisuøa. 17 Onda su Mojsije i Aron pozvali te ljude, koji su im bili oznaçeni po imenu, 18 i na prvi dan drugoga mjeseca skupili su oni svu zajednicu na okup; i prozivali su njihovo rodoslovlje po njihovim obiteljima, po njihovom oçinskom domu, tako da su izbrojili imena, od dvadeset godina pa na viæe . 19 Kako je Gospodin zapovjedio Mojsiju, tako ih je on izbrojio u Pustinji Sinaj. 20 A sinovi Rubena, Izraelova najstarijeg sina, njihovo rodoslovlje po njihovim obiteljima, po njihovom oçinskom domu, po broju imena od dvadeset godina pa na viæe koji su mogli iøi na vojsku. 21 Oni od Rubenova plemena koji su bili izbrojeni bilo je: çetrdeset i æest tisuøa i pet stotina. 22 Od Simeonova plemena, njihovo rodoslovlje po njihovim obiteljima po njihovom oçinskom domu, po broju imena od dvadeset godina pa na viæe koji su mogli iøi na vojsku.

And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying: 2 “Command the sons of Israel that they put out of the camp every leper, everyone who has a discharge, and whoever becomes defiled by a dead body. 3 You shall put out both male and female; you shall put them outside the camp, that they may not defile their camps in the midst of which I dwell.” 4 And the sons of Israel did so, and put them outside the camp; as the LORD spoke to Moses, so the sons of Israel did. 5 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 6 “Speak to the sons of Israel: ‘When a man or woman commits any sin that men commit in unfaithfulness against the LORD, and that person is guilty, 7 then he shall confess the sin which he has done. He shall make restitution for his trespass in full value plus one-fifth of it, and give it to the one he has wronged. 8 But if the man has no kinsman to whom restitution may be made for the wrong, the restitution for the wrong must go to the LORD for the priest, in addition to the ram of the atonement with which atonement is made for him. 9 Every offering of all the holy things of the sons of Israel, which they bring to the priest, shall be his. 10 And every man’s holy things shall be his; whatever any man gives the priest shall be his.’ ” 11 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 12 Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them: ‘If any man’s wife goes astray and behaves unfaithfully toward him, 13 and a man lies with her carnally, and it is hidden from the eyes of her husband, and it is concealed that she has defiled herself, and there was no witness against her, nor was she caught– 14 if the spirit of jealousy comes upon him and he becomes jealous of his wife, who has defiled herself; or if the spirit of jealousy comes upon him and he becomes jealous of his wife, although she has not defiled herself– 15 then the man shall bring his wife to the priest. He shall bring the offering required for her, one-tenth of an ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no oil on it and put no frankincense on it, because it is a grain offering of jealousy, an offering for remembering, for bringing iniquity to remembrance. 16 And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before the LORD. 17 The priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel, and take some of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle and put it into the water. 18 Then the priest shall stand the woman before the LORD, uncover the woman’s head, and put the offering for remembering in her hands, which is the grain offering of jealousy. And the priest shall have in his hand the bitter water that brings a curse. 19 And the priest shall put her under oath, and say to the woman, “If no man has lain with you, and if you have not gone astray to uncleanness while under your husband’s authority, be free from this bitter water that brings a curse. 20 But if you have gone astray while under your husband’s authority, and if you have defiled yourself and some man other than your husband has lain with you”–

Zapovijed o çistoøi o kraåi i o ljubomori

Nato je rekao Gospodin Mojsiju, govoreøi: 2 “Zapovjedi Izraelovim sinovima, neka udalje iz tabora sve koji su zaraœeni gubom, svatko tko ima izljev ili tko bude oneçiæøen mrtvim tijelom. 3 Udaljite oboje muœeve i œene i odvedite van pred tabor da ne oneçiste tabor u kojemu ja boravim meåu njima.” 4 Izraelovi sinovi su tako uçinili i uklonili ih iz tabora. Kako je Gospodin bio zapovjedio Mojsiju, tako su uçinili Izraelovi sinovi. 5 Opet je rekao Gospodin Mojsiju, govoreøi: 6 “Govori Izraelovim sinovima: ‘Kad muœ ili œena poçini kakav god grijeh na ætetu bliœnjemu, i tako sagrijeæi protiv Gospodina, i on osjeti krivnju, 7 onda neka prizna grijeh koji je poçinio, neka nadoknadi ono po punoj svojoj vrijednosti i neka dade onomu protiv koga je sagrijeæio, dometnuvæi petinu svote. 8 Ali ako ovaj nije ostavio iza sebe bliœega roåaka, komu se moœe dati duœna svota, onda ta naknadna svota pripada Gospodinu u korist sveøenicima, osim ovna za pomirenje kojim se pribavi krivcu oproætenje. 9 Svaki prinos svetih stvari Izraelovih sinova, koje oni prinose sveøeniku neka budu njemu. 10 Svakomu neka budu stvari koje je posvetio. Æto netko dade sveøeniku, neka mu to bude.’ ” 11 Onda je rekao Gospodin Mojsiju, govoreøi: 12 “Govori Izraelovim sinovima i kaœi im: ‘Ako nekoga œena poåe stranputicom i iznevjeri muœa, 13 i netko legne s njom, ali to ostane skriveno pred oçima njezina muœa, i to bude skriveno da se oneçistila, gdje je ne vidi svjedok i ne moœe se zateøi, 14 ako onda obuzme duh ljubomore muœa, tako da postane ljubomoran na svoju œenu koja se oneçistila, ili ako njega obuzme duh ljubomore, koji ga çini ljubomornim na svoju œenu, a da ona nije sagrijeæila, 15 onda neka muœ dovede svoju œenu k sveøeniku i neka donese sobom, kao prinos za nju, desetinu efe braæna jeçmenoga, ali neka ga ne polije uljem i neka ne stavi na njega miomirisnog k∑da, jer je to prinos za ljubomoru, spomen-prinos koji oçituje zlodjela. 16 Sveøenik neka je povede i postavi pred Gospodina. 17 Neka uzme sveøenik posveøene vode u posudu zemljanu. Uz to neka uzme sveøenik malo zemlje s poda u svetiætu i uspe u vodu. 18 Onda sveøenik neka postavi œenu pred Gospodina, neka joj otkrije kosu na glavi i dade joj u ruku œitni prinos za oçitovanje. Ali vodu prokletstva i gorkosti neka zadrœi sam sveøenik u ruci. 19 Onda neka sveøenik zakune œenu ovako: “Ako ni jedan muœ nije legnuo s tobom, i ako se nisi oneçistila nevjernoæøu prema svojem muœu, onda neka ti ne nanese nikakve ætete ova voda prokletstva i gorkosti. 20 Ali ako si postala nevjerna svojem muœu, ako si sagrijeæila i upustila se s drugim, koji nije tvoj muœ,

Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2 Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them: ‘When either a man or woman consecrates an offering to take the vow of a Nazirite, to separate himself to the LORD, 3 he shall separate himself from wine and similar drink; he shall drink neither vinegar made from wine nor vinegar made from similar drink; neither shall he drink any grape juice, nor eat fresh grapes or raisins. 4 All the days of his separation he shall eat nothing that is produced by the grapevine, from seed to skin. 5 All the days of the vow of his separation no razor shall come upon his head; until the days are fulfilled for which he separated himself to the LORD, he shall be holy. Then he shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow. 6 All the days that he separates himself to the LORD he shall not go near a dead body. 7 He shall not make himself unclean even for his father or his mother, for his brother or his sister, when they die, because his separation to God is on his head. 8 All the days of his separation he shall be holy to the LORD. 9 And if anyone dies very suddenly beside him, and he defiles his consecrated head, then he shall shave his head on the day of his cleansing; on the seventh day he shall shave it. 10 Then on the eighth day he shall bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of meeting; 11 and the priest shall offer one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, and make atonement

According to the pattern which the LORD had shown Moses, so he made the lampstand. 5 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying: 6 “Take the Levites from among the sons of Israel and cleanse them ceremonially. 7 Thus you shall do to them to cleanse them: Sprinkle water of purification on them, and let them shave all their body, and let them wash their clothes, and so make themselves clean. 8 Then let them take a young bull with its grain offering of fine flour mixed with oil, and you shall take another young bull as a sin offering. 9 And you shall bring the Levites before the tabernacle of meeting, and you shall gather together the whole assembly of the sons of Israel. 10 So you shall bring the Levites before the LORD, and the sons of Israel shall lay their hands on the Levites; 11 and Aaron shall offer the Levites before the LORD, as though a wave offering from the sons of Israel, that they may perform the work of the LORD. 12 Then the Levites shall lay their hands on the heads of the young bulls, and you shall offer one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering to the LORD, to make atonement for the Levites. 13 And you shall stand the Levites before Aaron and his sons, and then offer them as though a wave offering to the LORD. 14 Thus you shall separate the Levites from among the sons of Israel, and the Levites shall be mine. 15 After that the Levites shall go in to service the tabernacle of meeting. So you shall cleanse them and offer them, as though a wave offering. 16 For they are wholly given to me from among the sons of Israel; I have taken them for myself instead of all who open the womb, the firstborn of all the sons of Israel. 17 For all the firstborn among the sons of Israel are mine, both man and beast; on the day that I struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I sanctified them to myself. 18 I have taken the Levites instead of all the firstborn of the sons of Israel. 19 And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and his sons from among the sons of Israel, to do the work for the sons of Israel in the tabernacle of meeting, and to make atonement for the sons of Israel, that there be no plague among the sons of Israel when the sons of Israel come near the sanctuary.” 20 Thus Moses and Aaron and all the congregation of the sons of Israel did to the Levites; according to all that the LORD commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so the sons of Israel did to them. 21 And the Levites purified themselves and washed their clothes; then Aaron presented them, as though a wave offering before the LORD, and Aaron made atonement for them to cleanse them.

Svjetiljka sa œiæcima. Posveta Levita

Nato je rekao Gospodin Mojsiju, govoreøi: 2 “Govori Aronu i kaœi mu: ‘Kad ureåujeæ œiœke, onda neka napravi da sedam œiœaka baca svjetlo ispred svjetiljke!’ ” 3 Aron je uçinio tako i okrenuo œiœke da bacaju svjetlo ispred svjetiljke, kako je Gospodin zapovjedio Mojsiju, 4 A svjetiljka je bila izraåena od kovanog zlata. Od svojega stabla sve do cvjetova bilo je sve kovani rad. Mojsije je dao napraviti svjetiljku sa stalkom po uzorku æto mu ga je pokazao Gospodin. 5 Onda je rekao Gospodin Mojsiju, govoreøi: 6 “Uzmi Levite izmeåu Izraelovih sinova i sveçano ih oçisti! 7 Ovako s njima postupi kod oçiæøenja: Poækropi ih vodom oçiæøenja. Oni neka se obriju po svemu svojemu tijelu, neka operu svoje haljine i oçiste se. 8 Onda neka uzmu junca s njegovim œitnim prinosom od bijeloga braæna umijeæenog s uljem, i za œrtvu za grijeh uzmi drugoga junca. 9 Onda øeæ dovesti Levite pred æator sastanka i skupit øeæ svu zajednicu Izraelovih sinova. 10 Tako privedi Levite pred Gospodina, i Izraelovi sinovi neka poloœe svoje ruke na Levite, 11 a Aron neka prinese Levite Gospodinu, kao prinos mahanjem Izraelovih sinova, da mogu obavljati sluœbu Gospodinovu. 12 Onda neka Leviti poloœe svoje ruke na glave juncima, i ti øeæ prinijeti jednoga za prinos zbog grijeha, a drugoga kao œrtvu paljenicu Gospodinu, i da tako pribaviæ pomirenje Levitima. 13 I postavi Levite pred Arona i njegove sinove i prinesi ih Gospodinu kao prinos mahanja. 14 I tako øeæ Levite odvojiti izmeåu Izraelovih sinova, da Leviti budu moji. 15 Tek sada smiju Leviti preuzeti sluœbu u æatoru sastanka. Ti ih moraæ oçistiti i prinijeti kao prinos mahanja, 16 jer su posve darovani meni izmeåu Izraelovih sinova. Uzimam ih sebi namjesto svih onih koji otvore utrobu, prvoroåenci svih Izraelovih sinova. 17 Jer meni pripadaju svi prvenci kod çovjeka i stoke meåu Izraelovim sinovima. Onaj dan kad sam pobio sve prvoroåence u zemlji Egipat, posvetio sam ih sebi. 18 Uzimam Levite namjesto svih prvoroåenaca meåu Izraelovim sinovima. 19 I dajem na dar Aronu i njegovim sinovima Levite izmeåu Izraelovih sinova da namjesto Izraelovih sinova obavljaju sluœbu u æatoru sastanka, oni neka obavljaju pomirenje za Izraelove sinove, da nikakav nesretani udar ne pogodi Izraelove sinove, kad se Izraelovi sinovi pribliœe svetiætu.” 20 Mojsije i Aron i sva zajednica Izraelovih sinova uçinili su tako s Levitima. Kako je Gospodin zapovjedio Mojsiju za Levite, toçno tako uçinili su s njima Izraelovi sinovi. 21 Leviti su se oçistili od grijeha i oprali svoje haljine. Onda ih je Aron prineo Gospodinu kao prinos mahanja, i Aron im pribavio pomirenje kad ih je oçistio.

Now the LORD spoke to Moses in the Wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying: 2 “Let the sons of Israel keep the Passover at its appointed time. 3 On the fourteenth day of this month, at twilight, you shall keep it at its appointed time. According to all its rites and ceremonies you shall keep it.” 4 So Moses told the sons of Israel that they should keep the Passover. 5 And they kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month, at twilight, in the Wilderness of Sinai; according to all that the L ORD commanded Moses, so the sons of Israel did. 6 Now there were certain men who were defiled by the dead body of a man, so that they could not keep the Passover on that day; and they came before Moses and Aaron that day. 7 And those men said to him, “We became defiled by the dead body of a man. Why are we kept from presenting the offering of the LORD at its appointed time among the sons of Israel?” 8 And Moses said to them, “Stand still, that I may hear what the LORD will command concerning you.” 9 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 10 “Speak to the sons of Israel, saying: ‘If anyone of you or your posterity is unclean because of a dead body, or is far away on a journey, he may still keep the LORD’s Passover. 11 On the fourteenth day of the second month, at twilight, they may keep it. They shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. 12 They shall leave none of it until morning, nor break one of its bones. According to all the ordinances of the Passover they shall keep it. 13 But the man who is clean and is not on a journey, and ceases to keep the Passover, that same person shall be cut off from among his people, because he did not bring the offering of the LORD at its appointed time; that man shall bear his sin. 14 And if a stranger sojourns among you, and would keep the LORD’s Passover, he must do so according to the rite of the Passover and according to its ceremony; you shall have one ordinance, both for the stranger and the native of the land.’ ” 15 And on the day that the tabernacle was raised up, the cloud covered the tabernacle, the tent of the Testimony; from evening until morning it was above the tabernacle like the appearance of fire. 16 So it was always: the cloud covered it by day, and the appearance of fire by night. 17 Whenever the cloud was taken up from above the tabernacle, after that the sons of Israel would journey; and in the place where the cloud settled, there the sons of Israel would pitch their tents. 18 At the command of the LORD the sons of Israel would journey, and at the command of the LORD they

Sinajska Pasha

Nato je Gospodin rekao Mojsiju u Pustinji Sinaj prvoga mjeseca druge godine po izlasku iz egipatske zemlje, govoreøi: 2 “Izraelovi sinovi neka slave Pashu u odreåeno vrijeme. 3 Drœite je çetrnaesti dan ovoga mjeseca uveçer u odreåeno vrijeme. Samo po svim propisima i uredbama njezinim smijete je obdrœavati.” 4 Tako je Mojsije zapovjedio Izraelovim sinovima da slave Pashu. 5 I slavili su Pashu u prvom mjesecu çetrnaesti dan uveçer u Pustinji Sinaj. Toçno onako kako je Gospodin zapovjedio Mojsiju, uçinili su Izraelovi sinovi. 6 A bili su neki ljudi koji su se oneçistili o mrtvaca. Tako oni nisu mogli slaviti Pashu onaj dan. Oni su stoga stupili onaj dan pred Mojsija i Arona. 7 Ti ljudi su mu izjavili: “Mi smo postali neçisti od mrtvaca. Zaæto da nam nije slobodno prinijeti œrtvu Gospodinu u odreåeno vrijeme sa Izraelovim sinovima?” 8 Mojsije im odgovorio: “Çekajte da çujem æto zapovjeda Gospodin za vas.” 9 Onda je rekao Gospodin Mojsiju, govoreøi: 10 “Govori Izraelovim sinovima i kaœi im: ‘Ako se netko izmeåu vas ili vaæih potomaka oneçisti od mrtvaca ili je na dalekom putovanju, neka ipak slavi Pashu u çast Gospodinu. 11 Samo takvi je smiju obaviti u drugom mjesecu çetrnaesti dan uveçer. Oni øe pritom jesti beskvasni kruh i gorko bilje. 12 Oni ne smiju od toga niæta ostaviti do ujutro i ne smiju prelomiti nijedne kosti. Neka slave Pashu po svim obredima æto vrijede za nju. 13 Tko je çist i nije na putovanju, a propusti slaviti Pashu, takav çovjek neka se iskorijeni iz svojega naroda, jer on ne prinosi Gospodinu œrtve u odreåeno vrijeme. Takav çovjek ima snositi svoju krivnju. 14 Ako li boravi kod vas doæljak i hoøe slaviti Pashu Gospodinovu, neka je obavi po obredima i uredbama æto vrijede za Pashu. Neka vam bude ista uredba za doæljaka i za onoga koji se rodio u zemlji.’ ” 15 Na dan kad je bio podignut sveti æator, pokrio je oblak æator i æator Svjedoçanstva i bio je od uveçer i do ujutro kao oganj nad æatorom. 16 Tako je ostao uvijek: danju ga je pokrivao oblak a noøu izgledao kao oganj. 17 I kad bi se oblak podigao iznad æatora, tek onda bi polazili Izraelovi sinovi, i gdje bi se spustio oblak, ondje bi se utaborili Izraelovi sinovi. 18 Tako bi Izraelovi sinovi polazili uvijek po zapovijedi Gospodinovoj i utaborili se, takoåer,

And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying: 2 “Make two silver trumpets for yourself; you shall make them of hammered work; you shall use them for calling the assembly and for directing the movement of the camps. 3 When they blow both of them, all the assembly shall gather before you at the door of the tabernacle of meeting. 4 But if they blow only one, then the leaders, the heads of the divisions of Israel, shall gather to you. 5 When you sound the advance, the camps that lie on the east side shall then begin their journey. 6 When you sound the advance the second time, then the camps that lie on the south side shall begin their journey; they shall sound the call for them to begin their journeys. 7 And when the congregation is to be gathered together, you shall blow, but not sound the advance. 8 The sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets; and these shall be to you as an ordinance forever throughout your generations. 9 When you go to war in your land against the enemy who oppresses you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets, and you will be remembered before the LORD your God, and you will be saved from your enemies. 10 Also in the day of your gladness, in your appointed feasts, and at the beginning of your months, you shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; and they shall be a memorial for you before your God: I am the LORD your God.” 11 Now it happened on the twentieth day of the second month, in the second year, that the cloud was taken up from above the tabernacle of the Testimony. 12 And the sons of Israel set out from the Wilderness of Sinai on their journeys; then the cloud settled down in the Wilderness of Paran. 13 So they started out for the first time according to the command of the LORD by the hand of Moses. 14 The standard of the camp of the sons of Judah set out first according to their armies; over their army was Nahshon the son of Amminadab. 15 Over the army of the tribe of the sons of Issachar was Nethaneel the son of Zuar. 16 And over the army of the tribe of the sons of Zebulun was Eliab the son of Helon. 17 Then the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari set out, car-

Izraelci se diœu iz Sinajske pustinje

Nato je rekao Gospodin Mojsiju, govoreøi: 2 “Napravi sebi dvije srebrne trube. Napravi ih kovanim radom. One neka ti sluœe da sazivaæ zajednicu i da znak dajeæ za polazak tabora. 3 Kad se na njih oboje zatrubi, neka se skupi sva zajednica ispred tebe na ulazu u æator sastanka. 4 Ali ako se zatrubi samo na jednu, neka se skupe kod tebe glavari tisuønici Izraelovih sinova. 5 Kad zatrubiæ naprijed, onda neka se kreøu tabori æto leœe prema istoku. 6 Kad zatrubiæ naprijed po drugi put, onda neka se kreøu tabori æto leœe prema jugu; neka se zatrubi buçno u znak da trebaju poøi. 7 A kad se treba sazvati zajednica, onda trubite samo jednostavno, ne trubite buçno. 8 Samo Aronovi sinovi, sveøenici, smiju trubiti na trube. Njihova je uporaba kod vas uredba æto vjeçito vrijedi kroz sve vaæe naraætaje. 9 Kad poåete na vojsku u svojoj zemlji protiv neprijatelja koji vas napada, onda trubite trubama na uzbunu. Onda øe vas se sjetiti Gospodin, vaæ Bog, i spasit øe vas od vaæih neprijatelja. 10 I trubite na trube i u dane svojega veselja, na odreåene Sveçanosti i mjesece mlaåake, kod svojih œrtava-paljenica i œrtava mirotvornih. Tako øe vam to biti za spomen milostiv kod vaæega Boga. Ja sam Gospodin, vaæ Bog.” 11 I dogodilo se u drugoj godini u drugom mjesecu, dvadesetoga u mjesecu, da se podigao oblak iznad æatora Svjedoçanstva. 12 I krenuli su Izraelovi sinovi svojim redom iz Pustinje Sinaj, i oblak se spustio u pustinji Paran. 13 Bilo je to prvi put da su krenuli na zapovijed Gospodinovu æto je bila iziæla preko Mojsija. 14 Najprije je poæla zastava tabora Judinih sinova sa svojim çetama.

11

Now when the people complained, it displeased the LORD; for the LORD heard it, and his anger was aroused. So the fire of the LORD burned among them, and consumed some in the outskirts of the camp. 2 Then the people cried out to Moses, and when Moses prayed to the LORD, the fire was quenched. 3 So he called the name of the place Taberah, because the fire of the LORD had burned among them. 4 Now the mixed multitude who were among them yielded to intense craving; so the sons of Israel also wept again and said: “Who will give us meat to eat? 5 We remember the fish which we ate freely in Egypt, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic; 6 but now our whole being is dried up; there is nothing at all except this manna before our eyes!” 7 Now the manna was like coriander seed, and its color like the color of bdellium.

A kad se narod poçeo glasno tuœiti, Gospodina je to naljutilo; Gospodin to çuo, i planula je njegova srdœba. Tako se oganj æto je izlazio od Gospodina, raspalio na njih i uniætio jedan dio tabora. 2 Onda je zavapio narod Mojsiju, i kad se Mojsije pomolio Gospodinu, ugasio se oganj. 3 Nazvalo se to mjesto Tabera, jer se ondje raspalio oganj æto je izlazio od Gospodina. 4 A skupljeni narod hlepio je za jelima, tako da su Izraelovi sinovi opet poçeli jadikovati i govorili su: “Tko øe nam dati mesa za jesti? 5 Sjeøamo se riba æto smo ih bezbriœno jeli u Egiptu badava, krastavaca i dinja, poriluka, crvenoga luka i çeænjaka. 6 A sad nam je, da umremo; ovdje nema niçega osim mane pred naæim oçima.” 7 Mana je bila kao sjeme korijandrovo i sliçna bdeliju.

Then Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married; for he had married an Ethiopian woman. 2 And they said, “Has the LORD indeed spoken only through Moses? Has he not spoken through us also?” And the LORD heard it. 3 (Now the man Moses was very humble, more than all men who were on the face of the earth.) 4 Suddenly the LORD said to Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, “Come out, you three, to the tabernacle of meeting!” So the three came out. 5 Then the LORD came down in the pillar of cloud and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam. And they both went forward. 6 Then he said, “Hear now my words: If there is a prophet among you, I, the LORD, make myself known to him in a vision, and I speak to him in a dream. 7 Not so with my servant Moses; he is faithful in all my house. 8 I speak with him face to face, even plainly, and not in dark sayings; and he sees the form of the LORD. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?” 9 So the anger of the LORD was aroused against them, and he departed. 10 And when the cloud departed from above the tabernacle, suddenly Miriam became leprous, as white as snow. Then Aaron turned toward Miriam, and there she was, a leper. 11 So Aaron said to Moses, “Oh, my lord! Please do not lay this sin on us, in which we have done foolishly and in which we have sinned. 12 Please do not let her be as one dead, whose flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother’s womb!” 13 So Moses cried out to the LORD, saying, “Please heal her, O God, I pray!” 14 Then the LORD said to Moses, “If her father had but spit in her face, would she not be shamed seven

Onda su Mirjam i Aron poçeli govoriti protiv Mojsija zbog œene Etiopljanke, kojom se bio oœenio; jer si je uzeo Etipljanku za œenu. 2 Oni su govorili: “Zar je Gospodin govorio samo preko Mojsija? Zar nije govorio i s nama?” To je çuo Gospodin. 3 A Mojsije je bio veoma skroman çovjek, najskromniji çovjek na zemlji. 4 Odmah je Gospodin rekao Mojsiju, Aronu i Mirjam: “Poåite vi troje u æator sastanka.” Oni su poæli, 5 Onda je Gospodin u stupu oblaka stao na ulazu æatora i zovnuo Arona i Mirjamu. Kad su oboje doæli, 6 Onda je on rekao: “Çujte moje rijeçi. Kada je meåu vama prorok, onda se ja, Gospodin objavljujem njemu u viåenju i govorim s njim u snu. 7 A tako nije s mojim slugom Mojsijem; on je vjeran u mojoj cijeloj kuøi. 8 S njim govorim licem u lice, i on smije gledati neskrivenu podobu i pojavu Gospodina. Zaæto se onda niste bojali prekoriti mojega slugu Mojsija?” 9 Nato se raspalila srdœba Gospodinova na njih i on je otiæao. 10 I oblak se udaljio od æatora. A Mirjam je bila najedanput od gube postala bijela kao snijeg. Kad se Aron okrenuo k Mirjami, naåe da je gubava. 11 Onda je rekao Aron Mojsiju: “Ah, gospodaru, ne stavljaj na nas grijeha æto smo ga tako ludo poçinili. 12 Nemoj da ona bude kao mrtvo dijete komu je tijelo veø napola gnjilo kad iziåe iz utrobe majçine.” 13 I Mojsije se pomolio Gospodinu, govoreøi: “Molim O Boœe, ozdravi ju, ja se molim.” 14 Gospodin je rekao Mojsiju: “Da joj je njezin otac pljunuo u lice, ne bi li se stidjela sedam

And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Send men to spy out the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the sons of Israel; from each tribe of their fathers you shall send a man, every one a leader among them.” 3 So Moses sent them from the Wilderness of Paran according to the command of the LORD, all of them men who were heads of the sons of Israel. 4 Now these were their names: from the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur; 5 from the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori; 6 from the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh; 7 from the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph; 8 from the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Nun; 9 from the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu; 10 from the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi; 11 from the tribe of Joseph, that is, from the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi; 12 from the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli; 13 from the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael; 14 from the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi; 15 from the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi. 16 These are the names of the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun, Joshua. 17 So Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, “Go up this way into the South, and go up to the mountains, 18 and see what the land is like: whether the people who dwell in it are strong or weak, few or many; 19 whether the land they dwell in is good or bad; whether the cities they inhabit are like camps or strongholds; 20 whether the land is rich or poor; and whether there are forests there or not. Be of good courage. And bring some of the fruit of the land.” Now the time was the season of the first ripe grapes. 21 So they went up and spied out the land from the Wilderness of Zin as far as Rehob, near the entrance of Hamath. 22 And they went up through the South and came to Hebron; Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the descendants of Anak, were there. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.) 23 Then they came to the Valley of Eshcol, and there cut down a branch with one cluster of grapes; they carried it between two of them on a pole. They also brought some of the pomegranates and figs. 24 The place was called the Valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the men of Israel cut down there. 25 And they returned from spying out the land after forty days. 26 So they departed and came back to Moses and Aaron and all the congregation of the sons of Israel in the Wilderness of Paran, at Kadesh; they brought back word to them and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land. 27 Then they told him, and said: “We went to the land where you sent us. It truly flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit. 28 Nevertheless the people who dwell in the land are strong; the cities are fortified and very large; moreo-

Onda je rekao Gospodin Mojsiju, govoreøi: 2 “Poæalji ljude da uhode zemlju Kanaan, koju øu dati Izraelovim sinovima. Poæaljite od svakoga oçinskog plemena po jednoga, glavara izmeåu njih.” 3 I po zapovijedi Gospodinovoj poslao ih Mojsije iz Pustinje Paran. Svi su bili glavari Izraelovih sinova. 4 Ovo su im imena: od plemena Rubenova Æamua, sin Zakurov; 5 od plemena Simeonova Æafat, sin Horijev; 6 od plemena Judina Kaleb, sin Jefuneov; 7 od plemena Isakarova Igal, sin Josipov; 8 od plemena Efraimova Hoæea, sin Nunov; 9 od plemena Benjaminova Palti, sin Rafuov; 10 od plemena Zebulunova Gadiel, sin Sodijev; 11 od plemena Josipova, od plemena Manasehova Gadi, sin Susijev; 12 od plemena Danova Amiel, sin Gemalijev; 13 od plemena Aæerova Setur, sin Mihaelov; 14 od plemena Naftalijeva Nahbi, sin Vofsijev; 15 od plemena Gadova Geuel, sin Makijev. 16 To su imena ljudi koje je poslao Mojsije da uhode zemlju. Onda je dao Mojsije Hosei, sinu Nunovu, ime Joæua. 17 Tako ih Mojsije poslao da uhode zemlju Kanaan, i rekao im: “Idite odavde preko Negeba, pa se popnite na goru, 18 i pogledajte kakva je zemlja i je li narod æto prebiva u njoj jak ili slab, malen ili velik; 19 i kakva je zemlja u kojoj prebiva, je li plodna ili neplodna; i kakva su mjesta u kojima prebiva, jesu li u otvorenim taborima ili u tvrdim gradovima; 20 i kakva je zemlja, je li rodna ili mræava, raste li drveøe u njoj ili ne. Budite hrabri i donesite sobom i neæto roda one zemlje.” Bilo je onda upravo vrijeme prvom groœåu. 21 Tako otiæli i uhodili su zemlju od Pustinje Zin do Rehoba na ulazu u Hamat. 22 Oni su se popeli preko Negeba i doæli su do Hebrona, gdje su œivjeli Ahiman, Æeæaj i Talmaj, potomci Anakovi. Hebron je bio sazidan sedam godina prije Zoana u Egiptu. 23 Kad su stigli do u Dolinu Eækol, odrezali su ondje lozu s jednim grozdom koji su nosila po dvojica na motki, tako i neæto mogranja i smokava. 24 Ono se mjesto zvalo Dolina Eækol zbog groœåa koje su ondje bili odrezali Izraelovi sinovi. 25 Poslije çetrdeset dana vratili se, poæto su bili uhodili zemlju. 26 Otiæli su kuøi i doæli k Mojsiju i Aronu i cijeloj zajednici Izraelovih sinova u Pustinju Paran, u Kadeæ, predali su izvjeætaj njima i cijeloj zajednici i pokazali im plodove zemlje. 27 A pripovijedali su im ovo: “Otiæli smo u zemlju u koju si nas poslao. Zaista, teçe u njoj mlijeko i med. Evo, to su plodovi odande. 28 Ali narod æto boravi u njoj jak je, i gradovi su utvråeni i vrlo veliki. Vidjeli smo ondje i

Then all the congregation lifted up their voices and cried, and the people wept that night. 2 And all the sons of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron, and the whole congregation said to them, “If only we had died in the land of Egypt! Or if only we had died in this wilderness! 3 Why has the LORD brought us to this land to fall by the sword, that our wives and children should become victims? Would it not be better for us to return to Egypt?” 4 So they said to one another, “Let us select a leader and return to Egypt.” 5 Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the sons of Israel. 6 And Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes; 7 and they spoke to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, saying: “The land we passed through to spy out is an exceedingly good land. 8 If the LORD delights in us, then he will bring us into this land and give it to us, ‘a land which flows with milk and honey.’ 9 Only do not rebel against the LORD, nor fear the people of the land, for they are our bread; their protection has departed from them, and the LORD is with us. Do not fear them.” 10 And all the congregation said to stone them with stones. Now the glory of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of meeting before all the sons of Israel. 11 And the LORD said to Moses: “How long will these people reject me? And how long will they not believe me, with all the signs which I have performed among them? 12 I will strike them with the pestilence and disinherit them, and I will make of you a nation greater and mightier than they.” 13 And Moses said to the LORD: “Then the Egyptians will hear it, for by your might you brought these people up from among them, 14 and they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have heard that you, LORD, are among these people; that you, LORD, are seen face to face and that your cloud stands above them; and you go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and in a pillar of fire by night. 15 Now if you kill these people as one man, then the nations which have heard of your fame will speak, saying, 16 ‘Because the LORD was not able to bring this people to the land which he swore to give them, therefore he killed them in the wilderness.’

Pobuna Izraelaca i kazna

Onda je sva zajednica podigla viku i graju; a narod je plakao onu noø. 2 Svi su Izraelovi sinovi mrmljali protiv Mojsija i Arona i sva se zajednica tuœila pred njima: “Ah, da smo bili pomrli u zemlji Egipat! Ili Da smo samo mrtvi ovdje u pustinji. 3 Zaæto nas je Gospodin doveo u tu zemlju da izginemo od maça? Zar da naæe œene i djeca sitna postanu roblje drugima? Ne bi li bolje bilo za nas da se vratimo natrag u Egipat?” 4 I rekli su meåu sobom: “Mi øemo izabrati sebi voåu i vratiti se natrag u Egipat.” 5 Onda su Mojsije i Aron pali niçice pred svom skupljenom zajednicom Izraelovih sinova. 6 A Joæua, sin Nunov, i Kaleb, sin Jefuneov, bili su meåu onima koji su uhodili zemlju, razdrli su svoje haljine. 7 Zatim su govorili cijeloj zajednici Izraelovih sinova: “Zemlja koju smo proæli da je uhodimo, jest zemlja je zaista vrlo dobra. 8 Ako nam je Gospodin milostiv, on øe nas dovesti u tu zemlju i dat øe nam ju, zemlju u kojoj teçe mlijeko i med. 9 Samo se ne bunite protiv Gospodina i ne bojte se stanovnika te zemlje, jer øemo ih posve uniætiti. Odstupila je od njih sjena njihova, a s nama je Gospodin. Niæta ih se ne bojte!” 10 Kad je sva zajednica namjeravala da ih kamenuje, pojavila se slava Gospodinova svim Izraelovim sinovima nad æatorom sastanka. 11 I Gospodin je rekao Mojsiju: “Dokle øe me joæ taj narod prezirati, dokle mi neøe vjerovati uza sva çudesna znamenja æto sam ih uçinio pred njim. 12 Udarit øu ga kugom i uzeti mu baætinu, a tebe øu uçiniti narodom koji je veøi i jaçi od ovoga.” 13 Mojsije je rekao Gospodinu: “Ako çuju to Egipøani, izmeåu kojih si ti svojom moøi doveo ovamo taj narod. 14 Pripovijedat øe to stanovnicima ove zemlje. Oni su çuli da ti, Gospodine, prebivaæ meåu ovim narodom, da mu se ti, Gospodine, licem u lice ukazujeæ, i da oblak tvoj stoji nad njima, i da ti danju u stupu oblaka, a noøu u stupu ognja ideæ pred njima. 15 A ako sada taj narod pobijeæ sve do jednoga, onda øe narodi, koji su çuli o tebi lijepi glas, reøi: 16 “Jer Gospodin nije mogao taj narod dovesti u zemlju koju im je zakletvom obeøao, zato ih je pobio u pustinji.’

-181Numbers Brojevi 17 And now, I pray, let the power of my LORD be great, 17 A sada ja molim, Gospodine, neka vlada just as you have spoken, saying, tvoja velika strpljivost, kako si obeøao: 18 “The LORD is longsuffering and abundant in mercy, 18 “Gospodin je strpljiv i bogat milosråem. On forgiving iniquity and transgression; but he by no opraæta zlodjela i grijeh, ali posve ne otpuæta means clears the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the kaznu, nego pohodi zlodjela otaca na djeci do u fathers on the children to the third and fourth genera- treøe i çetvrto koljeno. 19 Oprosti molim, ovomu narodu njegova zlotion.’ 19 Pardon the iniquity of this people, I pray, accord- djela po svojim velikom milosråu, kako si uvijek ing to the greatness of your mercy, just as you have opraætao ovomu narodu od Egipta do ovamo.” 20 Onda je Gospodin odgovorio: “Opraætam forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.” 20 Then the LORD said: “I have pardoned, according mu kako si zamolio. 21 Ali doisat kao æto sam œiv sva øe se zemlja to your word; 21 but truly, as I live, all the earth shall be filled with ispuniti slave Gospodinove; 22 svi oni ljudi koji su vidjeli moju slavu i sva the glory of the LORD– 22 because all these men who have seen my glory znamenja çudesna æto sam ih uçinio u Egiptu i and the signs which I did in Egypt and in the wilder- u pustinji, a ipak su me deset puta kuæali i moj ness, and have put me to the test now these ten glas nisu posluæali, 23 oni sigurno neøe vidjeti zemlje koju sam zatimes, and have not heeded my voice, 23 they certainly shall not see the land of which I kletvom obeøao njihovim oçevima, ni jedan od swore to their fathers, nor shall any of those who re- svih onih koji su me prezreli neøe ju vidjeti. 24 Samo svojega slugu Kaleba, koji je pokazao jected me see it. 24 But my servant Caleb, because he has a different drugi duh i posve pristao je uza me, njega øu spirit in him and has followed me fully, I will bring into dovesti u zemlju u koju je veø jedanput stupio, i the land where he went, and his descendants shall posjedovat øe je potomci njegovi. 25 Pustite samo da Amaleçani i Kanaanci inherit it. 25 Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwell in prebivaju u ravnici.

And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them: ‘When you have come into the land you are to inhabit, which I am giving to you, 3 and you make an offering by fire to the LORD, a burnt offering or a sacrifice, to fulfill a vow or as a freewill offering or in your appointed feasts, to make a sweet aroma to the LORD, from the herd or the flock, 4 then he who presents his offering to the LORD shall bring a grain offering of one-tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with one-fourth of a hin of oil; 5 and one-fourth of a hin of wine as a drink offering you shall prepare with the burnt offering or the sacrifice, for each lamb. 6 Or for a ram you shall prepare as a grain offering two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with onethird of a hin of oil; 7 and as a drink offering you shall offer one-third of a hin of wine as a sweet aroma to the LORD. 8 And when you prepare a young bull as a burnt offering, or as a sacrifice to fulfill a vow, or as a peace offering to the LORD, 9 then shall be offered with the young bull a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with half a hin of oil; 10 and you shall bring as the drink offering half a hin of wine as an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the LORD. 11 Thus it shall be done for each young bull, for each ram, or for each lamb or young goat. 12 According to the number that you prepare, so you shall do with everyone according to their number. 13 All who are native-born shall do these things in this manner, in presenting an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the LORD. 14 And if a stranger sojourns with you, or whoever is among you throughout your generations, and would present an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the LORD, just as you do, so shall he do. 15 One ordinance shall be for you of the congregation and for the stranger who sojourns with you, an ordinance forever throughout your generations; as you are, so shall the stranger be before the LORD. 16 One law and one custom shall be for you and for the stranger who sojourns with you.’ ” 17 Again the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 18 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them: ‘When you come into the land to which I bring you, 19 then it will be, when you eat of the bread of the land, that you shall offer up a heave offering to the LORD. 20 You shall offer up a cake of the first of your ground meal as a heave offering; as a heave offering of the threshing floor, so shall you offer it up. 21 Of the first of your ground meal you shall give to the LORD a heave offering throughout your generations.

I Gospodin je rekao Mojsiju, govoreøi: 2 “Govori Izraelovim sinovima i kaœi im: ‘Kad doåete u zemlju, koju vam dajem za postojbinu, 3 i prinosite Gospodinu œrtvu paljenicu ili mirotvornu, da ispunite zavjete ili kao dragovoljan dar ili o svojim Svetkovinama, u çast Gospodinu na ugodan miris, od goveda i ovaca. 4 onda onaj koji donosi svoj prinos Gospodinu, neka prinese desetinu efe bijelog braæna zamijeæena s çetvrtinom hina ulja; 5 a vina neka se pripravi za naljev kod œrtve paljenice i mirotvorne çetvrtinu hina za svako janje. 6 A za ovna neka pripravi kao prinos dvije desetine efe bijelog braæna zamijeæena s treøinom hina ulja. 7 Vina za naljev neka prinese treøinu hina na ugodan miris Gospodinu. 8 Kad pripremate junca kao œrtvu paljenicu ili za œrtvu zaklanicu, da ispunite zavjet ili kao œrtvu mirotvornu, 9 onda neka se prinese uz junca kao prinos tri desetine efe bijeloga braæna zamijeæena s pola hina ulja; 10 vina za naljevni prinos prinesite pola hina kao œrtvu ognjem spaljenu na ugodan miris Gospodinu. 11 Tako neka se drœi kod svakoga vola ili ovna, kod svakoga janjeta ili jareta. 12 Prema broju koji prireåujete, postupite tako kod svakog pojedinoga komada. 13 Svaki domorodac neka se toga drœi kad prinosi œrtvu ognjem spaljenu na ugodan miris Gospodinu. 14 Ako je doæljak putuje s vama, ili ako netko trajno œivi u vaæoj sredini i hoøe prirediti œrtvu ognjem spaljenu na ugodan miris Gospodinu, onda neka isto onako postupati kako vi çinite. 15 Jednaka uredba neka bude za vas u zajednici i za doæljaka koji je kod vas.

And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying: 2 Speak to the sons of Israel, and get from them a rod from each father’s house, all their leaders according to their fathers’ houses–twelve rods. Write each man’s name on his rod. 3 And you shall write Aaron’s name on the rod of Levi. For there shall be one rod for the head of each father’s house. 4 Then you shall place them in the tabernacle of meeting before the Testimony, where I meet with you. 5 And it shall be that the rod of the man whom I choose will blossom; thus I will rid myself of the murmurings of the sons of Israel, which they murmur against you.” 6 So Moses spoke to the sons of Israel, and each of their leaders gave him a rod apiece, for each leader according to their fathers’ houses, twelve rods; and the rod of Aaron was among their rods. 7 And Moses placed the rods before the LORD in the tabernacle of witness. 8 Now it happened on the next day that Moses went into the tabernacle of witness, and behold, the rod of Aaron, of the house of Levi, had sprouted and put forth buds, had produced blossoms and yielded ripe almonds. 9 Then Moses brought out all the rods from before the LORD to all the sons of Israel; and they looked, and each man took his rod. 10 And the LORD said to Moses, “Bring Aaron’s rod back before the Testimony, to be kept as a sign against the rebels, that you may put their murmurings away from me, lest they die.” 11 Thus did Moses; just as the LORD had commanded him, so he did. 12 And the sons of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, “Surely we die, we perish, we all perish! 13 Whoever even comes near the tabernacle of the LORD must die. Shall we all utterly die?”

18

Then the LORD said to Aaron: “You and your sons and your father’s house with you shall bear the iniquity related to the sanctuary, and you and your sons with you shall bear the iniquity associated with your priesthood. 2 Also bring with you your brethren of the tribe of Levi, the tribe of your father, that they may be joined with you and serve you while you and your sons are with you before the tabernacle of witness. 3 They shall attend to your needs and all the needs of the tabernacle; but they shall not come near the articles of the sanctuary and the altar, lest they die–they and you also. 4 They shall be joined with you and attend to the needs of the tabernacle of meeting, for all the work of the tabernacle; but an outsider shall not come near you. 5 And you shall attend to the duties of the sanctuary and the duties of the altar, that there may be no more wrath on the sons of Israel. 6 Behold, I myself have taken your brethren the Levites from among the sons of Israel; they are a gift to you, given by the LORD, to do the work of the tabernacle of meeting.

Ætap Aronov

I Gospodin je rekao Mojsiju, govoreøi: 2 “Govori sa Izraelovim sinovima, i uzmi od njih po jedan ætap od svakoga oçinskog doma, dakle dvanaest ætapova od svih njihovih plemenskih glavara, pleme po pleme. Napiæi ime svakoga na njegovu ætapu. 3 Na ætap Levijev napiæi ime Aronovo. Neka bude jedan ætap za svakog glavara oçinskog doma. 4 Stavi ih onda u æator sastanka pred Svjedoçanstvo gdje vam se objavljujem. 5 Onda øe ætap, onoga koga sebi izaberem, procvjetati. Tako øu od sebe otstraniti mrmljanje Izraelovih sinova kojega podiœu protiv vas.” 6 Kad je Mojsije to rekao Izraelovim sinovima, svaki mu je glavar dao ætap, po oçinskim domovima, svega dvanaest ætapova. Meåu ætapovima njihovim bio je i ætap Aronov. 7 Mojsije stavi ætapove pred Gospodina u æatoru Svjedoçanstva. 8 I dogodilo se drugoga jutra kad je Mojsije stupio u æator svjedoçanstva, i gle, bio je ætap Aronov, od doma Levijeva, propupao, potjerao mladice, procvjetao i donio zrele bademe. 9 Onda je Mojsije iznio sve ætapove iz svetiæta k svim Izraelovim sinovima. Oni su ih razgledali i svaki je uzeo natrag svoj ætap. 10 Gospodin je rekao Mojsiju: “Stavi ætap Aronov opet pred Svjedoçanstvo, da se çuva kao znak protiv buntovnika, da mogneæ ukloniti njihovo mrmljanje ispred mene, da ne poginu.” 11 Mojsije je uçinio, kako mu je Gospodin zapovjedio, tako je uçinio. 12 A Izraelovi sinovi su rekli Mojsiju, govoreøi: “Doista mi ginemo, propadamo, svi skupa propadamo. 13 Tko se god pribliœi k æatoru Gospodinovu, mora umrijeti. Zar øemo svi pomrijeti?”

Duœnosti sveøenika i Levita

Onda je rekao Gospodin Aronu: “Ti i s tobom tvoji sinovi i tvoj oçinski dom, vi nosite odgovornost za grijehe svetiæta, vi i tvoji sinovi, odgovornost za grijehe sveøeniçke sluœbe æto vam je predana. 2 Ali i svoju braøu, od Levijeva plemena, oçinsko pleme, pusti da se prikljuçe tebi i da ti pomognu, dok ti i s tobom tvoji sinovi, sluœite pred æatorom svjedoçanstva. 3 Oni trebaju priskrbiti æto treba za podvorbu tvoju i za ureåenje svega æatora, ali ne smiju pristupiti k svetomu posuåu i k œrtveniku. Inaçe bi morali umrijeti oni i vi. 4 Oni neka budu tebi pridruœeni i neka se brinu za æator sastanka i za svu sluœbu oko æatora. Ni jedan doæljak ne smije pristupiti k vama. 5 Samo vi smijete vræiti sluœbu u svetiætu i na œrtveniku da opet ne doåe kazneni sud gnjeva na Izraelove sinove. 6 Ja sam bio onaj, koji je uzeo vaæu braøu, Levite, izmeåu Izraelovih sinova. Vama su oni predani na dar od Gospodina, da obavljaju sluœbu kod æatora sastanka.

Now the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, 2 “This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD has commanded, saying: ‘Speak to the sons of Israel, that they bring you a red heifer without blemish, in which there is no defect and on which a yoke has never come. 3 You shall give it to Eleazar the priest, that he may take it outside the camp, and it shall be slaughtered before him; 4 and Eleazar the priest shall take some of its blood with his finger, and sprinkle some of its blood seven times directly in front of the tabernacle of meeting. 5 Then the heifer shall be burned in his sight: its hide, its flesh, its blood, and its offal shall be burned. 6 And the priest shall take cedar wood and hyssop and scarlet, and cast them into the midst of the fire burning the heifer. 7 Then the priest shall wash his clothes, he shall bathe in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp; the priest shall be unclean until evening. 8 And the one who burns it shall wash his clothes in water, bathe in water, and shall be unclean until evening. 9 Then a man who is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and store them outside the camp in a clean place; and they shall be kept for the congregation of the sons of Israel for the water of purification; it is for purifying from sin. 10 And the one who gathers the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until evening. It shall be a statute forever to the sons of Israel and to the stranger who sojourns among them. 11 He who touches the dead body of anyone shall be unclean seven days. 12 He shall purify himself with the water on the third day and on the seventh day; then he will be clean. But if he does not purify himself on the third day and on the seventh day, he will not be clean. 13 Whoever touches the body of anyone who has died, and does not purify himself, defiles the tabernacle of the LORD. That person shall be cut off from Israel. He shall be unclean, because the water of purification was not sprinkled on him; his uncleanness is still on him. 14 This is the law when a man dies in a tent: All who come into the tent and all who are in the tent shall be unclean seven days;

19

Nato je Gospodin rekao Mojsiju i Aronu, govoreøi: 2 “Ovo je zakonska uredba koju je zapovjedio Gospodin, govoreøi: ‘Kaœi Izraelovim sinovima neka ti dovedu crvenu, bez mane junicu, koja nema mane i na kojoj joæ nikad nije bio jaram. 3 Predajte ju sveøeniku Eleazaru, da se onda izvede van pred tabor i neka se zakolje pred njegovim oçima. 4 Sveøenik Eleazar neka uzme svojim prstom neæto njezine krvi i neka poækropi s neæto njezine krvi sedam puta ispred æatora sastanka. 5 Onda neka se spali junica pred njegovim oçima: njezina koœa, njezino meso, njezina krv, droba s izmetinom neka se spali. 6 Onda neka uzme sveøenik cedrovine, izopa i grimiza i neka to baci u oganj, u kojem se spaljuje junica. 7 Nato neka sveøenik opere svoje haljine i neka se okupa. Onda smije opet doøi u tabor, ali do veçeri ostaje sveøenik joæ neçist. 8 Takoåer onaj koji ju je spalio, neka opere svoje haljine i okupa se, ali i on ostaje neçist do veçeri. 9 Onda çovjek koji je çist neka pokupi pepeo junice, pa neka ga istrese izvan tabora na koje çisto mjesto. Ondje neka se saçuva zajednici Izraelovih sinova da se napravi voda oçiæøenja koja sluœi kao sredstvo za oproætenje grijeha. 10 Onaj, koji je pokupio pepeo junice, mora oprati svoje haljine i ostaje neçist do veçeri. Ovaj zakon neka vrijedi zauvijek za Izraelove sinove i doæljake koji su kod njih. 11 Tko se dotakne mrtva tijela çovjeçjega, neka je neçist sedam dana. 12 On neka se oçisti vodom oçiæøenja na treøi i na sedmi dan, i onda je opet çist. Ali ako se neøe oçistiti na treøi i na sedmi dan, onda neøe biti çist. 13 Svaki, koji se dotakne mrtvoga tijela kojeg umrloga, i onda se ne oçisti, taj oskvrnjuje Gospodinov æator. Takav çovjek neka se iskorijeni iz Izraela; jer nije bio poækropljen vodom oçiæøenja, ostaje neçist. Neçistoøa njegova ostaje dalje na njemu.” 14 Ovo je zakonska uredba: “Umre li netko u kojem æatoru, onda svaki koji stupi u æator ili se nalazi u æatoru, bude neçist sedam dana.

20

Then the sons of Israel, the whole congregation, came into the Wilderness of Zin in the first month, and the people stayed in Kadesh; and Miriam died there and was buried there. 2 Now there was no water for the congregation; so they gathered together against Moses and Aaron. 3 And the people contended with Moses and spoke, saying: “If only we had died when our brethren died before the LORD! 4 Why have you brought up the congregation of the LORD into this wilderness, that we and our animals should die here? 5 And why have you made us come up out of Egypt, to bring us to this evil place? It is not a place of grain or figs or vines or pomegranates; nor is there any water to drink.” 6 So Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the door of the tabernacle of meeting, and they fell on their faces. And the glory of the LORD appeared to them. 7 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 8 “Take the rod; you and your brother Aaron gather the assembly together. Speak to the rock before their eyes, and it will yield its water; thus you shall bring water for them out of the rock, and give drink to the congregation and their animals.” 9 So Moses took the rod from before the LORD as he commanded him. 10 And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock; and he said to them, “Hear now, you rebels! Must we bring water for you out of this rock?” 11 Then Moses lifted his hand and struck the rock twice with his rod; and water came out abundantly, and the congregation and their animals drank. 12 Then the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not believe me, to hallow me in the eyes of the sons of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.” 13 This was the water of Meribah, because the sons of Israel contended with the LORD, and he was hallowed among them.

20

Sva izraelska zajednica je stigla u Pustinju Zin prvoga mjeseca i narod se smjestio u Kadeæu. Ondje je umrla Mirjam i bila ondje pokopana. 2 Nato zajednica nije imala vode, pa se skupili protiv Mojsija i Arona. 3 Narod se prepirao s Mojsijem i vikao: “Ah, da smo i mi izginuli kad je Gospodin poubijao naæu braøu! 4 Zaæto ste doveli zajednicu Gospodinovu u ovu pustinju gdje moramo izginuti sa svojom stokom? 5 Zaæto ste nas izveli iz Egipta i doveli nas u ovaj tuœni kraj gdje ne raåa ni œito, ni smokva, ni groœåe, ni mogranj, i gdje nema ni vode za piøe?” 6 A Mojsije i Aron su izmaknuli ispred zajednice k ulazu u æator sastanka i pali na svoje lice. I pokazala im se slava Gospodinova. 7 Onda je Gospodin rekao Mojsiju i Aronu, govoreøi: 8 “Uzmi ætap, ti i tvoj brat Aron skupite zajednicu! Govorite kamenu pred njihovim oçima, i on øe vam dati vodu. I Tako øeæ im pribaviti vodu iz kamena, i tako napoji zajednicu i njihovu stoku.” 9 Onda je uzeo Mojsije ætap ispred Gospodina, kako mu je zapovjedio. 10 Nato su skupili Mojsije i Aron zajednicu pred kamenom, i on im rekao: “Posluæajte ipak, vi nepokornici. Moœemo li vam mi iz ove hridi izvaditi vodu?” 11 I kad je Mojsije podigao ruku i dvaput udario svojim ætapom po kamenu, isteklo je mnogo vode, te se napojila zajednica i njihova stoka. 12 Tada je rekao Gospodin Mojsiju i Aronu, govoreøi: “Jer se niste pouzdali u mene i niste me htjeli proslaviti pred oçima Izraelovih sinova, neøete dovesti ovu zajednicu u zemlju koju im dajem.” 13 To je voda Meriba, gdje su se prepirali Izraelovi sinovi s Gospodinom i gdje se On proslavio meåu njima.

Then Balaam said to Balak, “Build seven altars for me here, and prepare for me here seven bulls and seven rams.” 2 And Balak did just as Balaam had spoken, and Balak and Balaam offered a bull and a ram on each altar. 3 Then Balaam said to Balak, “Stand by your burnt offering, and I will go; perhaps the LORD will come to meet me, and whatever He shows me I will tell you.” So he went to a desolate height. 4 And God met Balaam, and he said to him, “I have prepared the seven altars, and I have offered on each altar a bull and a ram.” 5 Then the LORD put a word in Balaam’s mouth, and said, “Return to Balak, and thus you shall speak.” 6 So he returned to him, and there he was, standing by his burnt offering, he and all the princes of Moab. 7 And he took up his oracle and said: “Balak the king of Moab has brought me from Aram, from the mountains of the east. ‘Come, curse Jacob for me, and come, denounce Israel!’ 8 How shall I curse whom God has not cursed? And how shall I denounce whom the LORD has not denounced? 9 For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him; There! A people dwelling alone, not reckoning itself among the nations. 10 Who can count the dust of Jacob, or number onefourth of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my end be like his!” 11 Then Balak said to Balaam, “What have you done to me? I took you to curse my enemies, and look, you have blessed them bountifully!” 12 So he answered and said, “Must I not take heed to speak what the LORD has put in my mouth?” 13 Then Balak said to him, “Please come with me to another place from which you may see them; you shall see only the outer part of them, and shall not see them all; curse them for me from there.” 14 So he brought him to the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered a bull and a ram on each altar. 15 And he said to Balak, “Stand here by your burnt offering while I meet the LORD over there.” 16 Then the LORD met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, “Go back to Balak, and thus you shall speak.” 17 So he came to him, and there he was, standing by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab were with him. And Balak said to him, “What has the LORD spoken?” 18 Then he took up his oracle and said: “Rise up, Balak, and hear! Listen to me, son of Zippor! 19 God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should repent. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not make it good? 20 Behold, I have received a command to bless; he has blessed, and I cannot reverse it. 21 He has not observed iniquity in Jacob, nor has he seen wickedness in Israel.

Onda je rekao Balaam Balaku: “Napravi mi ovdje sedam œrtvenika i pripravi mi ovdje sedam junaca i sedam ovnova.” 2 Balak je uçinio kako je zahtijevao Balaam, i Balak je œrtvovao s Balaamom na svakom œrtveniku po jednoga junca i jednoga ovna. 3 Onda je rekao Balaam Balaku: “Stoj kod svoje œrtve paljenice. Ja idem, pa moœda mi se javi Gospodin, i æto mi pokaœe, reøi øu ti” I on je otiæao na samotno mjesto. 4 I Bog je susreo Balaama, a on mu rekao: “Sedam sam œrtvenika spremio i na svakom sam œrtveniku prineo po jednoga junca i ovna.” 5 Onda je Gospodin stavio rijeçi u usta Balaamu i rekao: “Vrati se k Balaku i kaœi mu.” 6 I vrati se k njemu, a on je joæ stajao sa svim glavarima moapskim kod svoje œrtve paljenice. 7 Onda je on izrekao ovu rijeç: “Iz Arama me doveo ovamo Balak, moapski kralj, s gora istoçnih: ‘Doåi, prokuni mi Jakova, doåi, izgrdi Izraela.’ 8 Kako mogu proklinjati koga Bog ne proklinje? I kako mogu poreøi, koga Gospodin ne poreøe? 9 S visoke hridi vidim ga, s visina ga gledam: Eno, narod gdje samotan prebiva i ne raçuna se meåu narode. 10 Tko moœe izbrojiti prah Jakovljev, ili izmjeriti samo çetvrtinu Izraela. Daj umrijeti smrøu pravednika, moj kraj neka bude kao njegov.” 11 A Balak je povikao Balaamu: “Æto mi to çiniæ? Dozvao sam te da prokuneæ moje neprijatelje, a gle, ti ih upravo blagoslivljaæ.” 12 Rekao je on, govoreøi: “Zar ne moram objaviti ono æto mi Gospodin stavlja u usta?” 13 I Balak ga zamoli: “Doåi sa mnom na drugo mjesto odakle ga moœeæ posve vidjeti. Sada samo vidiæ krajni dio i ne moœeæ ga svega vidjeti. Odande mi ga prokuni.” 14 On ga poveo sobom na polje Zofin na vrh Pisge, postavio ondje sedam œrtvenika i œrtvovao na svakom po jednoga junca i ovna. 15 On je rekao Balaku: “Stoj tu kod svoje œrtve paljenice, dok ja susretnem Gospodina.” 16 Nato je Gospodin rekao Balaamu i stavio mu rijeçi u usta, govoreøi: “Vrati se k Balaku i ovako mu kaœi.” 17 Kad je doæao k njemu, on je joæ stajao sa svim glavarima moapskim kod svoje œrtve paljenice. Balak ga upitao: “Æto govori Gospodin?” 18 Onda on izreçe ovu rijeç: “Ustani, Balaçe, posluæaj, nagni mi svoje uho, sine Siporov. 19 Nije Bog kao çovjek da bi lagao, nije ni kao sin çovjeçji da bi se kajao. Je li on rekao, i neøe li on uçiniti? Ili je on izgovorio, i neøe li on izvræiti? 20 Eto, odreåen sam da blagoslovim; on je blagoslovio, i ja to ne mogu poreøi. 21 Ne vide se zlodjela u Jakovu. Ne vidi se nevolja u Izraelu. Uz njega je Gospodin koji je njegov Bog, ori se kod njega slava kraljeva. 22 Bog, koji ga izveo iz Egipta, njemu je kao rog divljih volova.

Now when Balaam saw that it pleased the Lord to bless Israel, he did not go as at other times, to seek to use sorcery, but he set his face toward the wilderness. 2 And Balaam raised his eyes, and saw Israel encamped according to their tribes; and the Spirit of God came upon him. 3 Then he took up his oracle and said: “The utterance of Balaam the son of Beor, the utterance of the man whose eyes are opened, 4 the utterance of him who hears the words of God, who sees the vision of the Almighty, who falls down, with eyes opened wide: 5 How lovely are your tents, O Jacob! your dwellings, O Israel! 6 Like valleys that stretch out, like gardens by the riverside, like aloes planted by the LORD, like cedars beside the waters. 7 He shall pour water from his buckets, and his seed shall be in many waters. “His king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted. 8 God brings him out of Egypt; he has strength like a wild ox; he shall consume the nations, his enemies; he shall break their bones and pierce them with his arrows. 9 He bows down, he lies down as a lion; and as a lion, who will rouse him?’ “Blessed is he who blesses you, and cursed is he who curses you.” 10 Then Balak’s anger was aroused against Balaam, and he struck his hands together; and Balak said to Balaam, “I called you to curse my enemies, and look, you have bountifully blessed them these three times! 11 Now therefore, flee to your place. I said I would greatly honor you, but in fact, the LORD has kept you back from honor.” 12 So Balaam said to Balak, “Did I not also speak to your messengers whom you sent to me, saying, 13 Though Balak were to give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not go beyond the word of the LORD, to do either good or bad of my own will; but what the LORD says, that I must speak’? 14 And now, indeed, I am going to my people. Come, I will advise you what this people will do to your people in the latter days.” 15 Then he took up his oracle and said: “The utterance of Balaam the son of Beor, and the utterance of the man whose eyes are opened; 16 the utterance of him who hears the words of God, and knows the knowledge of the Most High, who sees the vision of the Almighty, who falls down, with

Kad je Balaam vidio da je Boœja volja da blagoslivlja Izraela, nije htio viæe iøi kao prije po objave, nego je okrenuo svoje lice prema pustinji. 2 I kad je pogledao Balaam i vidio kako se Izrael utaborio po svojim plemenima, doæao je na njega duh Boœji, 3 i izrekao je svoje proroçanstvo ovako: “Govori Balaam, sin Beorov, govori çovjek komu se otvorile oçi; 4 tako govori koji sluæa æaptanje Boœje, koji gleda lice Svemoønoga, koji je zadubljen u sebe, ali je otvorena pogleda: 5 Kako su lijepi tvoji æatori, Jakove, i tvoji domovi, Izraele! 6 Kao doline potoka pruœili se, kao vrtovi kraj rijeke, kao hrastovi od Gospodina zasaåeni, kao cedri uz vodu. 7 Voda teçe iz njegovih vedara, njegovo je sjeme obilno nakvaæeno. Njegov se kralj diœe povrh Agaga, visoko raste njegovo kraljevstvo. 8 Bog, koji ga je izveo iz Egipta, njemu je rog kao u divljih volova. Poœdere narode koji su mu neprijatelji, zdrobi njihove kosti, lomi njihova leåa. 9 Kao lav legne na poçinak, i kao lavica; tko øe ga podraœiti? Blagoslovljen je onaj tko tebe blagoslivlja, a proklet je onaj tko tebe proklinje!” 10 Onda se razljutio Balak na Balaama. Pljesnuo rukama i povikao Balak Balaamu: “Dozvao sam te da prokuneæ moje neprijatelje, a ti eto veø si ih tri puta blagoslovio! 11 Sad samo brzo odlazi kuøi! Mislio sam te bogato darovati, a eto Gospodin ti nije dao dara.” 12 A Balaam je odgovorio Balaku: “Nisam li tvojim poslanicima, koje poslao k meni, rekao: 13 ‘Da mi da Balak svoj dvor pun srebra i zlata, ne bih mogao prestupiti rijeç Gospodinovu, i æto god, dobro ili zlo, uçiniti sam od sebe.

And it happened, after the plague, that the LORD spoke to Moses and Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying: 2 “Take a census of all the congregation of the sons of Israel from twenty years old and above, by their fathers’ houses, all who are able to go to war in Israel.” 3 So Moses and Eleazar the priest spoke with them in the plains of Moab by the Jordan, across from Jericho, saying: 4 Take a census of the people from twenty years old and above, just as the LORD commanded Moses and the sons of Israel who came out of the land of Egypt.” 5 Reuben was the firstborn of Israel. The sons of Reuben were: of Hanoch, the family of the Hanochites; of Pallu, the family of the Palluites; 6 of Hezron, the family of the Hezronites; of Carmi, the family of the Carmites. 7 These are the families of the Reubenites: those who were numbered of them were forty-three thousand seven hundred and thirty. 8 And the son of Pallu was Eliab. 9 The sons of Eliab were Nemuel, Dathan, and Abiram. These are the Dathan and Abiram, representatives of the congregation, who contended against Moses and Aaron in the company of Korah, when they contended against the LORD; 10 and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up together with Korah when that company died, when the fire devoured two hundred and fifty men; and they became a sign. 11 Nevertheless the sons of Korah did not die. 12 The sons of Simeon according to their families were: of Nemuel, the family of the Nemuelites; of Jamin, the family of the Jaminites; of Jachin, the family of the Jachinites; 13 of Zerah, the family of the Zarhites; of Shaul, the family of the Shaulites. 14 These are the families of the Simeonites: twentytwo thousand two hundred. 15 The sons of Gad according to their families were: of Zephon, the family of the Zephonites; of Haggi, the family of the Haggites; of Shuni, the family of the Shunites; 16 of Ozni, the family of the Oznites; of Eri, the family of the Erites; 17 of Arod, the family of the Arodites; of Areli, the family of the Arelites. 18 These are the families of the sons of Gad according to those who were numbered of them: forty thousand five hundred. 19 The sons of Judah were Er and Onan; and Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. 20 And the sons of Judah according to their families were: of Shelah, the family of the Shelanites; of Perez, the family of the Parzites; of Zerah, the family of the Zarhites. 21 And the sons of Perez were: of Hezron, the family of the Hezronites; of Hamul, the family of the Hamulites. 22 These are the families of Judah according to those who were numbered of them: seventy-six thousand five hundred. 23 The sons of Issachar according to their families

Ponovno Brojenje naroda

I dogodilo se poslije pomora, da je Gosspodin rekao Mojsiju i Eleazaru, sinu sveøenika Arona, govoreøi: 2 “Obavite popis cijele zajednice Izraelovih sinova, od dvadeset godina pa na viæe, pleme po pleme, sve koji su u Izraelu sposobni za vojnu sluœbu!” 3 Onda su im progovoli Mojsije i sveøenik Eleazar na Moapskim poljanama na Jordanu prema Jerihonu, govoreøi. 4 “Izbrojite narod od dvadeset godina pa na viæe, kako je Gospodin zapovjedio Mojsiju i Izraelovim sinovima koji su izaæli iz egipatske zemlje.” 5 Ruben je bio Izraelov prvoroåenac.

Then Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes concerning the sons of Israel, saying, “This is the thing which the LORD has commanded: 2 If a man vows a vow to the LORD, or swears an oath to bind himself by some agreement, he shall not break his word; he shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth. 3 Or if a woman vows a vow to the LORD, and binds herself by some agreement while in her father’s house in her youth, 4 and her father hears her vow and the agreement by which she has bound herself, and her father holds his peace, then all her vows shall stand, and every agreement with which she has bound herself shall stand. 5 But if her father overrules her on the day that he hears, then none of her vows nor her agreements by which she has bound herself shall stand; and the LORD will forgive her, because her father overruled her. 6 But if indeed she takes a husband, while bound by her vows or by a rash utterance from her lips by which she bound herself, 7 and her husband hears it, and makes no response to her on the day that he hears, then her vows shall stand, and her agreements by which she bound herself shall stand. 8 But if her husband overrules her on the day that he hears it, he shall make void her vow which she vowed and what she uttered with her lips, by which she bound herself, and the LORD will forgive her.

Zakon o zavjetima

Onda je Mojsije rekao plemenskim glavarima Izraelovih sinova, govoreøi: “Ovo zapovjeda Gospodin: 2 Ako koji çovjek uçini zavjet ili se zakletvom obveœe da øe se od neçega suzdrœati, onda neka ne prekræi svoje rijeçi, nego neka odrœi sve æto je obeøao. 3 Ako koja œenska osoba, koja neudata œivi u kuøi svojega oca, uçini zavjet Gospodinu ili se obveœe da øe se od neçega suzdrœati, 4 a njezin otac çuje za njezin zavjet, ili kako se obvezala da øe se od neçega suzdrœati, i ako njezin otac æuti na to, onda øe vrijediti svi njezini zavjeti, i svako suzdrœanje na koje se obvezala, zakonito je. 5 Ali ako njezin otac çim za to çuje, zabrani joj to, onda svi njezini zavjeti i suzdrœanja na koja se obvezala, ne vrijede, i Gospodin øe joj oprostiti, jer joj je njezin otac to zabranio. 6 Ako se ona zaista uda, a ima joæ na sebi zavjet ili nepromiæljeno obeøanje na koje se obvezala, 7 a njezin muœ çuje za to, pa joj ne rekne niæta kad çuje za to, onda vrijede njezini zavjeti i suzdrœavanja, na koja se obvezala, zakoniti su. 8 Ako njezin muœ, çim za to çuje, to joj zabrani, onda on time poniætava zavjet æto ju veœe i nepromiæljeno obeøanje kojim se obvezala na neko suzdrœanje, i Gospodin øe joj oprostiti.

And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying: 2 “Take vengeance for the sons of Israel on the Midianites. Afterward you shall be gathered to your people.” 3 So Moses spoke to the people, saying, “Arm some of yourselves for the war, and let them go against the Midianites to take vengeance for the LORD on Midian. 4 A thousand from each tribe of all the tribes of Israel you shall send to the war.” 5 So there were recruited from the divisions of Israel one thousand from each tribe, twelve thousand armed for war. 6 Then Moses sent them to the war, one thousand from each tribe; he sent them to the war with Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, with the holy articles and the signal trumpets in his hand. 7 And they warred against the Midianites, just as the LORD commanded Moses, and they killed all the males. 8 They killed the kings of Midian with the rest of those who were killed, namely: Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba, the five kings of Midian. Balaam the son of Beor they also killed with the sword. 9 And the sons of Israel took all the women of Midian captive, with their little ones, and took as spoil all their cattle, all their flocks, and all their goods. 10 They also burned with fire all the cities where they dwelt, and all their forts. 11 And they took all the spoil and all the booty, both of man and beast. 12 Then they brought the captives, the booty, and the spoil to Moses, to Eleazar the priest, and to the congregation of the sons of Israel, to the camp in the plains of Moab by the Jordan, across from Jericho. 13 And Moses, Eleazar the priest, and all the leaders of the congregation, went to meet them outside the camp. 14 But Moses was angry with the officers of the army, with the captains over thousands and captains over hundreds, who had come from the battle. 15 And Moses said to them: “Have you kept all the women alive? 16 Look, these women caused the sons of Israel,

I Gospodin je rekao Mojsiju, govoreøi: 2 “Izvræi osvetu za Izraelove sinove na Midjancima. Poslije toga øeæ se pridruœiti svojim precima.” 3 Onda je rekao Mojsije narodu, govoreøi: “Naoruœajte sebi ljude iz svoje sredine za vojnu protiv Midjanaca, da izvræe osvetu Gospodinovu na Midjancima. 4 Poæaljite na vojnu po tisuøu ljudi od svih Izraelovih plemena.” 5 I tako se podigli od svakoga plemena izraelskoga po tisuøu ljudi, svega dvanaest tisuøa ratnika. 6 Onda je Mojsije poslao na vojnu tisuøu ljudi od svakoga plemena, a s njima je poslao i Finehasa, sina sveøenika Eleazara sa svetim predmetima i trubama za davanje zapovijedi. 7 I krenuo u boj protiv Midjanaca, kako je Gospodin zapovjedio Mojsiju, i pobili su sve muæke osobe. 8 Meåu onima koje su pobili bili su i midjanski kraljevi: Evi, Rekem, Sur, Hur i Reba, pet midjanskih kraljeva. I Balaama, sina Beorova, ubili su maçem. 9 Onda su Izraelovi sinovi zarobili œene i djecu Midjanaca, zaplijenili su svu njihovu stoku, krupnu i sitnu, i sve njihovo imanje. 10 Ognjem su popalili sve gradove u kojima su prebivali, i sve njihove tabore. 11 Uzeli su sve roblje i sav plijen, obadvoje ljude i stoku, 12 Onda su doveli zarobljenike, plijen i pljaçku k Mojsiju, sveøeniku Eleazaru i zajednici Izraelovih sinova u tabor na Moapskim poljanama æto leœe na Jordanu kod Jerihona. 13 Mojsije, sveøenik Eleazar i svi glavari zajednice izaæli su im u susret pred tabor. 14 A Mojsije se razljutio na zapovjednike vojske, na çelovoåe koji su bili nad tisuøama i nad stotinama, koji su se vratili s bojnog pohoda. 15 Rekao im je Mojsije: “A zaæto ste ostavili na œivotu sve œene? 16 Upravo one su bile koje su, na savjet Ba-

Now the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad had a very great multitude of livestock; and when they saw the land of Jazer and the land of Gilead, that indeed the region was a place for livestock, 2 the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben came and spoke to Moses, to Eleazar the priest, and to the leaders of the congregation, saying, 3 Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Shebam, Nebo, and Beon, 4 the country which the LORD defeated before the congregation of Israel, is a land for livestock, and your servants have livestock.” 5 Therefore they said, “If we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants as a possession, and do not take us over the Jordan.” 6 And Moses said to the sons of Gad and to the sons of Reuben: “Shall your brethren go to war while you sit here? 7 Now why will you discourage the heart of the sons of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD has given them? 8 Thus your fathers did when I sent them away from Kadesh Barnea to see the land. 9 For when they went up to the Valley of Eshcol and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the sons of Israel, so that they did not go into the land which the LORD had given them. 10 So the LORD’s anger was aroused on that day, and he swore an oath, saying, 11 Surely none of the men who came up from Egypt, from twenty years old and above, shall see the land of which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, because they have not wholly followed me, 12 except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun, for they have wholly followed the LORD.’ 13 So the LORD’s anger was aroused against Israel, and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation that had done evil in the sight of the LORD was gone.

A Rubenovi sinovi i Gadovi sinovi su im ali vrlo mnogo stoke; pa kad su vidjeli da je jazerska zemlja i gileadska zemlja dobra za stoku, 2 otiæli su Gadovi sinovi i Rubenovi i rekli su Mojsiju, sveøeniku Eleazaru i glavarima zajednice, govoreøi: 3 “Atarot, Dibon, Jazer, Nimra, Heæbon, Eleale, Sebam, Nebo i Beon, 4 zemlja, koju je Gospodin podloœio izraelskoj zajednici, dobra je za stoku, a tvoje sluge imaju mnogo stoke.” 5 Stoga su rekli: “Ako smo naæli milost u tvojim oçima, neka se ta zemlja dade u baætinu tvojim slugama, ne vodi nas preko Jordana.” 6 Mojsije je rekao Gadovim sinovima i Rubenovim sinovima: “Hoøe li vaæa braøa iøi u boj, dok vi ovdje sjedite? 7 Zaæto sada obeshrabljujete srca Izraelovih sinova da ne idu u zemlju koju im je dao Gospodin? 8 Tako su veø çinili vaæi oçevi kad sam ih poslao iz Kadeæ-Barnee da ogledaju zemlju. 9 Otiæli su gore do Doline Eækol, pogledali zemlju i onda obeshrabrili srce Izraelovim sinovima, tako da oni nisu htjeli iøi u zemlju koju im je Gospodin dao. 10 Onda se razgnjevio Gospodin, i zakleo se, govoreøi: 11 ‘Ljudi koji u dobi od dvadeset godina pa na viæe izaæli su iz Egipta, neøe vidjeti zemlje koju sam zakletvom obeøao Abrahamu, Izaku i Jakovu, jer me nisu posve posluæali. 12 Osim Kenizejca Kaleba, sina Jefuneova, i Joæue, sina Nunova, jer su ovi posve posluæali Gospodina.’ 13 Tako se je razgnjevio Gospodin na Izraela da je uçinio da su se çetrdeset godina potucali po pustinji dok nije pomro sav onaj naraætaj koji je sagrijeæio Gospodinu.

These are the journeys of the sons of Israel, who went out of the land of Egypt by their armies under the hand of Moses and Aaron. 2 Now Moses wrote down the starting points of their journeys at the command of the LORD. And these are their journeys according to their starting points: 3 They departed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the day after the Passover the sons of Israel went out with boldness in the sight of all the Egyptians. 4 For the Egyptians were burying all their firstborn, whom the LORD had killed among them. Also on their gods the LORD had executed judgments. 5 Then the sons of Israel moved from Rameses and camped at Succoth. 6 They departed from Succoth and camped at Etham, which is on the edge of the wilderness. 7 They moved from Etham and turned back to Pi Hahiroth, which is east of Baal Zephon; and they camped near Migdol. 8 They departed from before Hahiroth and passed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness, went three days’ journey in the Wilderness of Etham, and camped at Marah. 9 They moved from Marah and came to Elim. At Elim were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees; so they camped there. 10 They moved from Elim and camped by the Red Sea. 11 They moved from the Red Sea and camped in the Wilderness of Sin. 12 They journeyed from the Wilderness of Sin and camped at Dophkah. 13 They departed from Dophkah and camped at Alush. 14 They moved from Alush and camped at Rephidim, where there was no water for the people to drink. 15 They departed from Rephidim and camped in the Wilderness of Sinai. 16 They moved from the Wilderness of Sinai and camped at Kibroth Hattaavah. 17 They departed from Kibroth Hattaavah and camped at Hazeroth. 18 They departed from Hazeroth and camped at Rithmah. 19 They departed from Rithmah and camped at Rimmon Perez. 20 They departed from Rimmon Perez and camped at Libnah. 21 They moved from Libnah and camped at Rissah. 22 They journeyed from Rissah and camped at Kehelathah. 23 They went from Kehelathah and camped at Mount Shepher. 24 They moved from Mount Shepher and camped at Haradah. 25 They moved from Haradah and camped at Makheloth. 26 They moved from Makheloth and camped at

Ovo su postaje putovanja Izraelovih sinova kad su izaæli iz egipatske zemlje po svojim redovima pod vodstvom Mojsijevim i Aronovim. 2 A Mojsije je popisao njihove postaje, kojima su, po zapovijedi Gospodinovoj, dalje putovali.

Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Command the sons of Israel, and say to them: ‘When you come into the land of Canaan, this is the land that shall fall to you as an inheritance– the land of Canaan to its boundaries. 3 Your southern border shall be from the Wilderness of Zin along the border of Edom; then your southern border shall extend eastward to the end of the Salt Sea; 4 your border shall turn from the southern side of the Ascent of Akrabbim, continue to Zin, and be on the south of Kadesh Barnea; then it shall go on to Hazar Addar, and continue to Azmon; 5 the border shall turn from Azmon to the Brook of Egypt, and it shall end at the Sea. 6 As for the western border, you shall have the Great Sea for a border; this shall be your western border. 7 And this shall be your northern border: From the Great Sea you shall out your border line to Mount Hor; 8 from Mount Hor you shall out your border to the entrance of Hamath; then the direction of the border shall be toward Zedad; 9 the border shall proceed to Ziphron, and it shall end at Hazar Enan. This shall be your northern border. 10 You shall out your eastern border from Hazar Enan to Shepham; 11 the border shall go down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain; the border shall go down and reach to the eastern side of the Sea of Chinnereth; 12 the border shall go down along the Jordan, and it shall end at the Salt Sea. This shall be your land with its surrounding boundaries.’ ” 13 Then Moses commanded the sons of Israel, saying: “This is the land which you shall inherit by lot, which the LORD has commanded to give to the nine tribes and to the half-tribe. 14 For the tribe of the sons of Reuben according to the house of their fathers, and the tribe of the sons of Gad according to the house of their fathers, have received their inheritance; and the half-tribe of Manasseh has received its inheritance. 15 The two tribes and the half-tribe have received their inheritance on this side of the Jordan, across from Jericho eastward, toward the sunrise.” 16 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 17 “These are the names of the men who shall divide the land among you as an inheritance: Eleazar the priest and Joshua the son of Nun. 18 And you shall take one leader of every tribe to divide the land for the inheritance. 19 These are the names of the men: from the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh; 20 from the tribe of the sons of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud; 21 from the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon; 22 a leader from the tribe of the sons of Dan, Bukki the son of Jogli; 23 from the sons of Joseph: a leader from the tribe of the sons of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod, 24 and a leader from the tribe of the sons of Ephraim, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan; 25 a leader from the tribe of the sons of Zebulun, Elizaphan the son of Parnach; 26 a leader from the tribe of the sons of Issachar, Paltiel the son of Azzan; 27 a leader from the tribe of the sons of Asher, Ahi-

And the LORD spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho, say-

ing: 2 “Command the sons of Israel that they give the Levites cities to dwell in from the inheritance of their possession, and you shall also give the Levites pasture-land around the cities. 3 They shall have the cities to dwell in; and their pasture-land shall be for their cattle, for their herds, and for all their animals. 4 The pasture-land of the cities which you shall give the Levites shall extend from the wall of the city outward a thousand cubits all around. 5 And you shall measure outside the city on the east side two thousand cubits, on the south side two thousand cubits, on the west side two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand cubits. The city shall be in the middle. This shall belong to them as pasture-land for the cities. 6 Now among the cities which you will give to the Levites you shall appoint six cities of refuge, to which a manslayer may flee. And to these you shall add forty-two cities. 7 So all the cities you will give to the Levites shall be forty-eight; these you shall give with their pastureland. 8 And the cities which you will give shall be from the possession of the sons of Israel; from the larger tribe you shall give many, from the smaller you shall give few; each shall give some of its cities to the Levites, in proportion to the inheritance that each inherits.” 9 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 10 Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them: ‘When you cross the Jordan into the land of Canaan, 11 then you shall appoint cities to be cities of refuge for you, that the manslayer who kills any person accidentally may flee there. 12 They shall be cities of refuge for you from the avenger, that the manslayer may not die until he stands before the congregation in judgment. 13 And of the cities which you give, you shall have six cities of refuge. 14 You shall appoint three cities on this side of the Jordan, and three cities you shall appoint in the land of Canaan, which will be cities of refuge. 15 These six cities shall be for refuge for the sons of Israel, for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them, that anyone who kills a person accidentally may flee there. 16 But if he strikes him with an iron implement, so that he dies, he is a murderer; the murderer shall surely be put to death. 17 And if he strikes him with a stone in the hand, by which one could die, and he does die, he is a murderer; the murderer shall surely be put to death. 18 Or if he strikes him with a wooden hand weapon, by which one could die, and he does die, he is a murderer; the murderer shall surely be put to death. 19 The avenger of blood himself shall put the murderer to death; when he meets him, he shall put him to death. 20 If he pushes him out of hatred or, while lying in wait, hurls something at him so that he dies, 21 or in enmity he strikes him with his hand so that he dies, the one who struck him shall surely be put to

Gradovi Levitski i gradovi utoçiæta

Onda je Gospodin rekao Mojsiju na Moapskim poljanama na Jordanu, naprema Jerihonu, govoreøi: 2 “Zapovjedi Izraelovim sinovima neka dadu od svoje baætine Levitima gradove za prebivanje. Takoåer paænjake oko tih gradova dajte Levitima. 3 Gradove neka imaju za prebivanje, a paænjaci uz njih neka im budu za tovarne œivotinje, za stada i ostale œivotinje. 4 Paænjake uz gradove ustupite Levitima neka se proteœu od gradskih zidina tisuøu lakata unaokolo. 5 Odmjerite izvan grada na istoçnoj strani dvije tisuøe lakata, na juœnoj strani dvije tisuøe lakata, na zapadnoj strani dvije tisuøe lakata i na sjevernoj strani dvije tisuøe lakata, tako da sam grad leœi u sredini. To neka budu njihovi paænjaci uz gradove. 6 Gradove koje øete dati Levitima odredite æest slobodnih gradova za mjesto utoçiæta za onoga koji je poçinio ubojstvo; osim toga, øete im dati joæ çetrdeset i dva grada. 7 Ukupni broj gradova koje øete predati Levitima neka bude çetrdeset i osam gradova uz njihove paænjake. 8 Kod oduzimanja gradova iz posjeda Izraelovih sinova uzmite od veøih plemena viæe gradova, a od manjih plemena manje gradova. Svako øe pleme prema svojoj baætini koju øe dobiti, Levitima dati od svojih gradova.” 9 Onda je rekao Gospodin Mojsiju, govoreøi: 10 “Govori Izraelovim sinovima i kaœi im: ‘Kad doåete preko Jordana u zemlju, 11 onda izaberite sebi gradove koji neka vam budu gradovi za utoçiæte. Ondje neka pobjegne ubojica koji je nehotice ubio çovjeka. 12 Ovi gradovi neka vam budu za utoçiæte od krvnoga osvetnika da ubojica ne bude ubijen prije nego stane na sud pred zajednicu. 13 Od gradova koje øete ustupiti, neka bude æest za utoçiæte: 14 Tri grada odredite s onu stranu Jordana, a tri grada u zemlji Kanaanaca koji neka budu gradovi za utoçiæte. 15 Izraelovim sinovima i doæljacima i onima, koji su meåu njima, neka tih æest gradova budu utoçiæta, da moœe pobjeøi ondje svaki koji je nehotice ubio çovjeka. 16 Ako ga œeljeznim oruåem udari tako da nastupi smrt, onda je ubojica.

Now the chief fathers of the families of the sons of Gilead the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came near and spoke before Moses and before the leaders, the chief fathers of the sons of Israel; 2 and they said: “The LORD commanded my lord Moses to give the land as an inheritance by lot to the sons of Israel, and my LORD was commanded by the L ORD to give the inheritance of our brother Zelophehad to his daughters. 3 Now if they are married to any of the sons of the other tribes of the sons of Israel, then their inheritance will be taken from the inheritance of our fathers, and it will be added to the inheritance of the tribe into which they marry; so it will be taken from the lot of our inheritance. 4 And when the Jubilee of the sons of Israel comes, then their inheritance will be added to the inheritance of the tribe into which they marry; so their inheritance will be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.” 5 Then Moses commanded the sons of Israel according to the word of the LORD, saying: “What the tribe of the sons of Joseph speaks is right. 6 This is what the LORD commands concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, ‘Let them marry whom they think best, but they may marry only within

Onda su pristupili glavari obitelji sinova Gileada, sina Makira, sina Manasehova, od obitelji Josipovih sinova, pred Mojsija, starjeæine i poglavare Izraelovih sinova, 2 i rekli su: “Gospodin je zapovjedio mojem gospodaru, Mojsiju da œdrijebom dade Izraelovim sinovima zemlju u baætinu. I mojem gospodaru je bilo zapovjeåeno od Gospodina da dade baætinu naæega brata Selofhada njegovim køerima. 3 Ako se sad one udaju za koga drugoga plemena Izraelovih sinova, onda øe se njihovo vlasniætvo otkinuti od naæe oçinske baætine i dodat øe se baætini onoga plemena u koje se udaju; tako øe se baætina, æto pripadne nama, okrnjiti. 4 Kad onda bude jubilejska godina Izraelovim sinovima, njihova øe se baætina sjediniti s baætinom onoga plemena u koje se budu udale, ali od baætine naæega oçinskog plemena otkinut øe se njihova baætina.” 5 Nato je Mojsije dao Izraelovim sinovima, po zapovijedi Gospodinovoj, ovu zapovijed: “Pleme Josipovih sinova ima pravo. 6 Ovo je æto Gospodin zapovjeda za køeri Selofhadove: ‘Neka se udaju za koga hoøe, ali smiju se udati samo u rodu svojega oçinskog

These are the words which Moses spoke to all Israel on this side of the Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain opposite Suph, between Paran, Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Dizahab. 2 It is eleven days’ journey from Horeb by way of Mount Seir to Kadesh Barnea. 3 Now it happened in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spoke to the sons of Israel according to all that the LORD had given him as commandments to them, 4 after he had killed Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, and Og king of Bashan, who dwelt at Ashtaroth in Edrei. 5 On this side of the Jordan in the land of Moab, Moses began to explain this law, saying, 6 “The LORD our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying: ‘You have dwelt long enough at this mountain. 7 Turn and take your journey, and go to the mountains of the Amorites, to all the neighboring places in the plain, in the mountains and in the lowland, in the South and on the seacoast, to the land of the Canaanites and to Lebanon, as far as the great river, the River Euphrates. 8 See, I have set the land before you; go in and possess the land which the L ORD swore to your fathers–to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob–to give to them and their descendants after them. 9 And I spoke to you at that time, saying: I alone am not able to bear you. 10 The LORD your God has multiplied you, and here you are today, as the stars of heaven in multitude. 11 May the LORD God of your fathers make you a thousand times more numerous than you are, and bless you as he has promised you! 12 How can I alone bear your problems and your burdens and your complaints? 13 Choose wise, understanding, and knowledgeable men from among your tribes, and I will make them heads over you.

Ovo su govori koje odrœao Mojsije pred cijelim Izraelom s onu stranu Jordana, u pustinji, u Arabi, naprema Sufu, izmeåu Parana, Tofela, Labana, Haserota i Dizahaba. 2 Ima jedanaest dana hoda od Horeba preko gore Seira do Kadeæ Barnea. 3 Dogodilo se prvog dana jedanaestoga mjeseca u çetrdesetoj godini da je govorio Mojsije Izraelovim sinovima sve æto mu je za njih zapovjedio Gospodin. 4 Poæto je porazio amorejskog kralja Sihona, koji je prebivao u Heæbonu i baæanskog kralja Oga koji je prebivao u Aætarotu i Edreju, 5 poçeo je Mojsije, s onu stranu Jordana u moapskoj zemlji, razlagati zakon, govoreøi: 6 “Gospodin, naæ Bog, govorio nam je na Horebu, govoreøi: ‘Dosta ste dugo boravili na toj gori. 7 Podignite se i krenite na put u podgorje Amorejaca i svima njihovim susjednim mjestima u dolini, na podgorju i u dolinama, na jugu i na morskoj obali, u zemlju Kanaanaca i u Lebanon do Rijeke, do Eufrata. 8 Gle, ovu zemlju stavljam pred vas. Idite u nju i zaposjednite zemlju za koju se Gospodin zakleo vaæim oçevima, Abrahamu, Izaku i Jakovu, da øe ju dati njima i njihovim potomcima iza njih.’ 9 Ja sam vam rekao u ono vrijeme, govoreøi: ‘Ja se sam ne mogu skrbiti za vas.’ 10 Gospodin, vaæ Bog, umnoœio vas je da vas danas ima tako mnogo kao nebeskih zvijezda. 11 Gospodin, Bog vaæih otaca, neka vas umnoœi joæ tisuøu puta viæe i neka vas blagoslovi, kako vam je obeøao. 12 Ali kako da posve sam nosim teret i breme koje na mene stavljate, i vaæe sporove? 13 Izaberite stoga iz svojih plemena mudre, razborite i iskusne ljude da vam ih postavim za glavare.’

Ako vam je koji pravni sluçaj preteœak, iznesite ga meni da ga razvime, and I will hear it. 18 And I commanded you at that time all the things dim.’ 18 Tako sam vam onda zapovjedio za sve æto which you should do. 19 So we departed from Horeb, and went through all trebate çiniti. that great and terrible wilderness which you saw on 19 Potom smo krenuli od Horeba i proæli svu the way to the mountains of the Amorites, as the LORD onu pustinju veliku i straænu, koju ste vidjeli our God had commanded us.

Pa ste as the LORD our God commanded us. And when eve- se opasali svaki svojim bojnim oruœjem i htjeli ryone of you had girded on his weapons of war, you ste u svojoj zaslijepljenosti poøi na pogorje. 42 A Gospodin mi je rekao: Kaœi ih: Ne idite were ready to go up into the mountain. 42 And the LORD said to me, Tell them, Do not go up gore i ne bijte se s njima, jer ja nisam meåu nor fight, for I am not among you; lest you be de- vama; inaçe, porazit øe vas vaæi neprijatelji. 43 Ja sam vam govorio, ali niste posluæali, feated before your enemies. 43 So I spoke to you; yet you would not listen, but nego ste se oprijeli zapovijedi Gospodinovoj i rebelled against the command of the LORD, and pre- poæli ste u svojoj drskosti gore na pogorje. 44 A Amorejci, koji prebivaju na onom pogorju, sumptuously went up into the mountain. 44 And the Amorites who dwelt in that mountain izaæli su protiv vas i rastjerali vas kao roj pçela i came out against you and chased you as bees do, tjerali su vas od Seira pa do Horme. 45 Kad ste se vratili, plakali ste pred Gospodiand drove you back from Seir to Hormah. 45 Then you returned and wept before the LORD, but nom, ali Gospodin nije posluæao vaæ glas, niti je the LORD would not listen to your voice nor give ear to prignuo svoje uho k vama. 46 Tako ste ostali u Kadeæu dugo vremena, you. 46 So you remained in Kadesh many days, accord- onoliko koliko ste veø stajali. ing to the days that you spent there.

Then we turned and journeyed into the wilderness of the Way of the Red Sea, as the LORD spoke to me, and we skirted Mount Seir for many days. 2 And the LORD spoke to me, saying: 3 You have skirted this mountain long enough; turn northward. 4 And command the people, saying, You are about to pass through the territory of your brethren, the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir; and they will be afraid of you. Therefore watch yourselves carefully. 5 Do not meddle with them, for I will not give you any of their land, no, not so much as one footstep, because I have given Mount Seir to Esau as a possession. 6 You shall buy food from them with money, that you may eat; and you shall also buy water from them with money, that you may drink. 7 For the LORD your God has blessed you in all the work of your hand. He knows your trudging through this great wilderness. These forty years the LORD your God has been with you; you have lacked nothing. 8 And when we passed beyond our brethren, the descendants of Esau who dwell in Seir, away from the road of the plain, away from Elath and Ezion Geber, we turned and passed by way of the Wilderness of Moab. 9 Then the LORD said to me, ‘Do not harass Moab, nor contend with them in battle, for I will not give you any of their land as a possession, because I have given Ar to the descendants of Lot as a possession. 10 (The Emim had dwelt there in times past, a people as great and numerous and tall as the Anakim. 11 They were also regarded as giants, like the Anakim, but the Moabites call them Emim.

Onda smo skrenuli i putovali u pustinju k Crvenom moru, kako mi je Gospodin zapovjedio. Mnogo dana smo putovali okolo gore Seira. 2 Onda mi je rekao Gospodin, govoreøi: 3 Dosta ste veø dugo obilazili tu goru, okrenite se sada na sjever! 4 A narodu zapovjedi ovako: Upravo sad øete proøi kroz podruçje svoje braøe, Ezavovih potomaka, koji prebivaju u Seiru. Oni øe vas se bojati. Stoga se vi dobro pazite, 5 da ne zametnete boj s njima, jer vam neøu niæta dati od njihove zemlje, ni jedne jedine stope, jer sam dao goru Seir Ezavu u vlasniætvo. 6 Kupujte od njih hranu za novce da imate æto jesti; i pitku vodu kupujte od njih za novce da imate piti. 7 Jer vas je Gospodin, vaæ Bog, blagoslivljao u svemu poslu æto ste poduzimali. On poznaje vaæe muke na putovanju kroz tu veliku pustinju. Tih çetrdeset godina kako je s vama Gospodin, vaæ Bog, i niæta vam nije nedostajalo.’ 8 I kad smo proæli svoju braøu, Ezavove sinove, putom koji vodi u Arabu pokraj Elata i Esion Gebera, onda smo okrenuli putom prema Moapskoj pustinji. 9 Onda mi zapovjedio Gospodin: ‘Ne napadaj na Moabce i ne zapoçinji boj s njima, jer ti neøu dati od njihove zemlje niæta u posjed, jer sam dao podruçje Ar u posjed Lotovim sinovima. 10 Prije su prebivali ondje Emimci, moøan i mnogobrojan narod, visoka rasta kao Anakovi sinovi. 11 Oni su pripadali Refaimcima kao Anakovi sinovi, ali Moabci su ih zvali Emimci.

Sve nam to dao u naæe ruke Gospodin, naæ Bog. LORD our God delivered all to us. 37 Only you did not go near the land of the sons of 37 Ipak zemlju Amonaca, cijelo podruçje na Ammon, or anywhere along the River Jabbok, or to strani od Jaboka s gradovima u pogorju, nisi the cities of the mountains, or wherever the LORD our dotakao, posve kako je zapovjedio Gospodin, naæ Bog. God had forbidden us.

Then we turned and went up the road to Bashan; and Og king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei. 2 And the LORD said to me, ‘Do not fear him, for I have delivered him and all his people and his land into your hand; you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon. 3 So the LORD our God also delivered into our hands Og king of Bashan, with all his people, and we attacked him until he had no survivors remaining. 4 And we took all his cities at that time; there was not a city which we did not take from them: sixty cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan. 5 All these cities were fortified with high walls, gates, and bars, besides a great many rural towns. 6 And we utterly destroyed them, as we did to Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children of every city. 7 But all the livestock and the spoil of the cities we took as booty for ourselves. 8 And at that time we took the land from the hand of the two kings of the Amorites who were on this side of the Jordan, from the River Arnon to Mount Hermon 9 (the Sidonians call Hermon Sirion, and the Amorites call it Senir), 10 all the cities of the plain, all Gilead, and all Bashan, as far as Salcah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan. 11 For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of the giants. Indeed his bedstead was an iron bedstead. (Is it not in Rabbah of the sons of Ammon?) Nine cubits is its length and four cubits its width, according to the standard cubit. 12 And this land, which we possessed at that time, from Aroer, which is by the River Arnon, and half the mountains of Gilead and its cities, I gave to the Reubenites and the Gadites. 13 The rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to half the tribe of Manasseh. (All the region of Argob, with all Bashan, was called the land of the giants. 14 Jair the son of Manasseh took all the region of Argob, as far as the border of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and called Bashan after his own name, Havoth Jair, to this day.) 15 And I gave Gilead to Machir. 16 And to the Reubenites and the Gadites I gave from Gilead as far as the River Arnon, the middle of the river as the border, as far as the River Jabbok, the border of the sons of Ammon; 17 the plain also, with the Jordan as the border, from Chinnereth as far as the east side of the Sea of the Arabah (the Salt Sea), below the slopes of Pisgah. 18 And I commanded you at that time, saying: ‘The LORD your God has given you this land to possess. All you men of valor shall cross over armed before your brethren, the sons of Israel. 19 But your wives, your little ones, and your livestock (I know that you have much livestock) shall stay in your cities which I have given you,

Nato smo poæli putom u Baæan. Onda je Og, baæanski kralj, s cijelim svojim narodom izaæao protiv nas, na boj s nama kod Edreja. 2 A Gospodin mi je rekao: ‘Ne boj se ga, jer ga dajem sa svim njegovim narodom i s njegovom zemljom u tvoje ruke. Uçini mu onako kako si uçinio Sihonu kralju amorejskom, u Heæbonu. 3 Tako nam je dao Gospodin, naæ Bog, u ruke i Oga, baæanskog kralja, sa svim njegovim narodom i tukli smo ga dok je nestalo svih œivih. 4 I osvojili sve njegove gradove, i nije bilo grada koji im nismo uzeli. Æezdeset gradova i sva pokrajina Argob, kraljevstvq Oga u Baæanu. 5 Bili su to sve utvråeni gradovi s visokim zidinama, vratima i prijevornicama, osim vrlo mnogih otvorenih mjesta. 6 Potpuno smo ih uniætili kako smo bili uçinili Sihonu, kralju u Heæbonu, i iskorijenili smo u svakom gradu muœeve, œene i djecu. 7 A svu stoku i plijen iz gradova uzeli smo za sebe. 8 Tako smo onda uzeli zemlju iz ruku dvojice amorejskih kraljeva, koja je s onu stranu Jordana od potoka Arnona do gore Hermona, 9 Sidonci zovu Hermon Sirion, Amorejci ga zovu Senir; 10 sve gradove u ravnici, sav Gilead i sav Baæan do Salke i Edreja, ukratko, gradove æto pripadaju kraljevstvu Oga u Baæanu. 11 Baæanski kralj Og bio je posljednji ostatak Refaima , divova. Njegov krevet bio je odar od œeljeza. On stoji joæ u gradu Amonaca u Rabahu. Njegova duœina je devet obiçnih lakata, a æirina mu çetiri lakta. 12 Tu smo zemlju onda osvojili, od Aroera na rijeci Arnonu sam ju dao s polovicom gore gileadske i njezinim gradovima Rubenovcima i Gadovcima. 13 Ostali dio Gileada i sav Baæan, kraljevstvo Ogovo, svu pokrajinu Argob predao sam polovici plemena Manasehova. Sav taj kraj baæanski zove se zemlja divova. 14 Jair, sin Manasehov, zauzeo svu pokrajinu Argob do podruçja Geæurejaca i Maakateja i nazvao taj dio Baæana po svojemu imenu sela Jairova i tako se zovu do danaænjega dana. 15 Makiru sam dao Gilead. 16 Plemenu Rubenovu i Gadovudao sam zemlju od Gileada do Arnona, sredina rijeke je granica, pa do Jaboka, granice Amonaca. 17 Dalje Arabu s Jordanom kao granicom, od Kinereta do istoçne strane mora, uz poljanu Slanoga mora, na podnoœju obronaka Pisge na istoku. 18 Onda sam vam dao ovu zapovijed ‘Gospodin, vaæ Bog, dao vam je tu zemlju u posjed. A vi svi vojnici, poåite naoruœani ondje pred svojom braøom, Izraelovim sinovima. 19 Samo vaæe œene i vaæa djeca i vaæa stoka– znam da imate mnogo stoke–neka ostanu u vaæim gradovima æto sam vam ih dao,

So the LORD said to me: 26 Ali Gospodin se srdio na mene zbog vas i ‘Enough of that! Speak no more to me of this matter. nije me usliæao. A Gospodin mi je rekao: ‘Dosta 27 Go up to the top of Pisgah, and lift your eyes to- je toga, ne govori mi viæe o tom! ward the west, the north, the south, and the east; 27 Popni se navrh Pisge i podigni svoje oçi na behold it with your eyes, for you shall not cross over zapad i na sjever, na jug i na istok i pogledaj je svojim vlastitim oçima, jer neøeæ nikada prijeøi this Jordan. 28 But command Joshua, and encourage him and preko Jordana.’ strengthen him; for he shall go over before this peo- 28 A zapovjedio Joæui, ohrabri ga i ojaçaj, jer on ple, and he shall cause them to inherit the land which øe na çelu naroda prijeøi ondje u zemlju koju vidiæ i njima ju razdijeliti. you will see.’ 29 So we stayed in the valley opposite Beth Peor. 29 Tako smo ostali u dolini prema Bet Peoru.

Now, O Israel, listen to the statutes and the judgments which I teach you to observe, that you may live, and go in and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers is giving you. 2 You shall not add to the word which I command you, nor take anything from it, that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you. 3 Your eyes have seen what the LORD did at Baal Peor; for the LORD your God has destroyed from among you all the men who followed Baal of Peor. 4 But you who held fast to the LORD your God are alive today, every one of you. 5 Surely I have taught you statutes and judgments, just as the LORD my God commanded me, that you should act according to them in the land which you go to possess. 6 Therefore be careful to observe them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples who will hear all these statutes, and say, ‘Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.’ 7 For what great nation is there that has God so near to it, as the LORD our God is to us, for whatever reason we may call upon him? 8 And what great nation is there that has such statutes and righteous judgments as are in all this law which I set before you this day? 9 Only take heed to yourself, and diligently keep yourself, lest you forget the things your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life. And teach them to your children and your grandchildren, 10 especially concerning the day you stood before the LORD your God in Horeb, when the LORD said to me, ‘Gather the people to me, and I will let them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days they live on the earth, and that they may teach their children.’ 11 Then you came near and stood at the foot of the

A sada, Izraele, posluæaj zakone i pravne propise koje vas uçim da drœite da biste sretno œivjeli i uæli u posjed zemlje koju vam hoøe dati Gospodin, Bog vaæih otaca. 2 Niæta ne dodajte zapovijedima æto vam ih dajem, niti oduzmite iæta od njih, nego izvræujte zapovijedi Gospodina, svojega Boga, koje vam zapovjedam. 3 Svojim oçima ste vidjeli æto je uçinio Gospodin zbog Baal-Peora. Svakoga koji se prikljuçio Baal-Peoru, dao je Gospodin, tvoj Bog, iskorijeniti iz tvoje sredine. 4 A vi, koji se çvrsto drœite Gospodina, svojega Boga, svi ste danas joæ na œivotu. 5 Vidite, uçim vas zakone i pravne propise kako mi ih je zapovjedio Gospodin, moj Bog, da po njima radite u zemlji u koju ulazite da je uzmete u posjed. 6 Drœite i izvræujte ih, jer to øe vas, u oçima neznaboœaçkih naroda, uçiniti mudrima i razumnima i kad oni çuju sve te zakone, reøi øe: ‘Zaista, taj veliki narod je mudar i razuman narod.’ 7 Jer gdje je tako velik narod kojemu je Bog tako blizu kao æto je nama Gospodin, naæ Bog, kad ga god zazovemo. 8 I gdje je tako velik narod koji bi imao tako pravedne zakone i pravne propise kako je sav ovaj zakon æto vam ga danas predlaœem. 9 Samo çuvajte se i dobro pazite da ne zaboravite æto ste svojim oçima vidjeli i da vam to ne iæçezne iz srca dokle ste god œivi. Objavite to svojoj djeci i djeci svoje djece. 10 Nemojte zaboraviti onaj dan kad ste stajali na Horebu pred Gospodinom, svojim Bogom, kad mi je zapovjedio Gospodin: ‘Skupi mi narod, hoøu im objaviti svoje zapovijedi da se nauçe bojati mene dok su œivi na zemlji, i da to nauçe i svoju djecu.’ 11 Onda ste pristupili i stali pod gorom.

You shall not give your daughter to their son, nor take their daughter for your son. 4 For they will turn your sons away from following me, to serve other gods; so the anger of the LORD will be aroused against you and destroy you suddenly. 5 But thus you shall deal with them: you shall destroy their altars, and break down their sacred pillars, and cut down their wooden images, and burn their carved images with fire. 6 For you are a holy people to the LORD your God; the LORD your God has chosen you to be a people for himself, a special treasure above all the peoples on the face of the earth. 7 The LORD did not set his love on you nor choose you because you were more in number than any other people, for you were the least of all peoples; 8 but because the LORD loves you, and because he would keep the oath which he swore to your fathers, the LORD has brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you from the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. 9 Therefore know that the LORD your God, he is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love him and keep his commandments; 10 and he repays those who hate him to their face, to destroy them. He will not be slack with him who hates him; he will repay him to his face. 11 Therefore you shall keep the commandment, the statutes, and the judgments which I command you today, to observe them. 12 Then it shall come to pass, because you listen to

Kad vas Gospodin, vaæ Bog, dovede u zemlju u koju idete da je uzmete u posjed, i kad otjerate ispred tebe mnoge narode: Hitejce, Girgaæejce, Amorejce, Kanaance, Perizejce i Jebusejce, sedam naroda koji su brojniji i jaçi od tebe. 2 Kad ih Gospodin, vaæ Bog, preda vama, vi ih potucite i potpuno ih uniætite. Ne smijete sklapati s njima savez i ne ætedjeti ih. 3 Niti stupajte u œenidbu s njima: svoje køeri ne dajite za œenu komu od njihovih sinova, niti koju od njihovih køeri ne uzimajte za œenu svojem sinu. 4 Jer bi mogli odvratiti vaæega sina od mene, tako da sluœi drugim bogovima; onda bi Gospodin planuo na vas da vas uniæti. 5 Nego ovako s njima postupite: njihove œrtvenike poruæite, njihove kamene spomenike porazbijajte, njihova sveta stabla sasijecite i njihove izrezane bogove vatrom spalite. 6 Jer vi ste narod koji je posveøen Gospodinu, svojem Bogu; vas je izabrao Gospodin, vaæ Bog, izmeåu svih naroda na zemlji da budete narod koji pripada samo njemu. 7 Ne zato æto bi vas bilo viæe nego drugih naroda, obratio se Gospodin na vas i izabrao vas, jer vi ste najmanji od svih naroda, 8 nego zato æto vas Gospodin ljubi i drœi zakletvu kojom se zakleo vaæim oçevima. Zato vas je Gospodin izveo jakom rukom i izbavio vas iz kuøe ropstva, iz ruke faraona, egipatskog kralja. 9 I tako znajte da je Gospodin, vaæ Bog, pravi Bog, vjerni Bog, koji drœi zavjet i milost iskazuje do u tisuøu koljena onima koji ga ljube i drœe njegove zapovijedi. 10 A onima koji ga mrze, uzvraøa izravno da ih uniæti. Ne odgaåa onima koji ga mrze, nego izravno plaøa njima samima. 11 Stoga drœite zapovijedi, zakone i pravne propise koje vam danas zapovjedam da ih vræite. 12 Onda øe se dogoditi da ako ove pravne pro-

Every commandment which I command you to day you must be careful to observe, that you may live and multiply, and go in and possess the land of which the LORD swore to your fathers. 2 And you shall remember that the LORD your God led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments or not. 3 So he humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that he might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the LORD. 4 Your garments did not wear out on you, nor did your foot swell these forty years. 5 So you should know in your heart that as a man

Therefore you shall love the LORD your God, and keep his charge, his statutes, his judgments, and his commandments always. 2 Know today that I do not speak with your children, who have not known and who have not seen the chastening of the LORD your God, his greatness and his mighty hand and his outstretched arm– 3 His signs and his acts which he did in the midst of Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to all his land; 4 what he did to the army of Egypt, to their horses and their chariots: how he made the waters of the Red Sea overflow them as they pursued you, and how the LORD has destroyed them to this day; 5 what he did for you in the wilderness until you came to this place; 6 and what he did to Dathan and Abiram the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben: how the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, their households, their tents, and all the substance that was in their possession, in the midst of all Israel– 7 but your eyes have seen every great act of the LORD which he did. 8 Therefore you shall keep every commandment which I command you today, that you may be strong, and go in and possess the land which you cross over to possess, 9 and that you may prolong your days in the land which the LORD swore to give your fathers, to them and their descendants, ‘a land flowing with milk and honey.’ 10 For the land which you go to possess is not like the land of Egypt from which you have come, where you sowed your seed and watered it by foot, as a vegetable garden; 11 but the land which you cross over to possess is a land of hills and valleys, which drinks water from the rain of heaven, 12 a land for which the LORD your God cares; the eyes of the LORD your God are always on it, from the beginning of the year to the very end of the year. 13 And it shall be that if you diligently obey my commandments which I command you today, to love the LORD your God and serve him with all your heart and with all your soul, 14 then I will give you the rain for your land in its season, the early rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain, your new wine, and your oil. 15 And I will send grass in your fields for your livestock, that you may eat and be filled.’ 16 Take heed to yourselves, lest your heart be deceived, and you turn aside and serve other gods and worship them, 17 lest the LORD’s anger be aroused against you, and

Zato ljubite Gospodina, svojega Boga, i uvijek izvræujte, njegove zakone, njegove pravne propise i njegove zapovijedi. 2 Znajte da se ne govorim vaæoj djeci, jer oni nisu proœivjeli i na sebi i iskusili karanje Gospodina, vaæega Boga, njegovu veliçinu, njegovu jaku miæicu, njegovu podignutu ruku; 3 njegova çudesna znamenja i njegova djela koja je uçinio u Egiptu: na faraonu, egipatskom kralju, i na cijeloj njegovoj zemlji; 4 æto je uçinio egipatskoj vojsci, njihovim konjima i bojnim kolima; kako je uçinio da ih voda Crvenoga mora potopila kad su vas tjerali, i tako ih Gospodin uniætio do danaænjega dana; 5 onda æto vam je uçinio u pustinji, dok niste doæli do ovoga mjesta; 6 æto je uçinio s Datanom i Abiramom, sinovima Eliaba, Rubenova potomka, kad je zemlja otvorila svoja usta, i usred svega Izraela proœdrla njih i njihove obitelji i njihove æatore i sve æto su imali. 7 Vi ste svojim oçima vidjeli sva ta velika djela koja je uçinio Gospodin. 8 Zato drœite sve zapovijedi koje vam danas zapovjedam, da budete jaki i da uzmete u posjed zemlju u koju idete da ju osvojite; 9 i da dugo œivite u zemlji za koju se zakleo Gospodin da øe ju dati vaæim oçevima, njima i njihovim potomcima, ‘zemlju u kojoj teçe mlijeko i med.’ 10 Jer zemlja u koju idete da ju zaposjednete, nije kao egipatska zemlja, iz koje ste izaæli. Ova se morala, çim si bio sjeme posijao, natapati nogostupnim spravama za vrt i za povrøe. 11 Ali zemlja u koju idete da je zaposjednete, zemlja je u kojoj su brda i doline, a natapa ju kiæa nebeska, 12 zemlja za koju se brine Gospodin, vaæ Bog, na koju su stalno uperene oçi Gospodina, vaæega Boga, od poçetka do svræetka godine. 13 I bit øe, ako budete paœljivo sluæali moje zapovijedi, koje vam danas dajem, i budete ljubili Gospodina, svojega Boga, te mu sluœili svim svojim srcem i svom svojom duæom, 14 onda øu davati kiæu vaæoj zemlji u pravo vrijeme, ranu kiæu i kasnu kiæu, da mognete skupiti svoje œito, svoje vino i svoje ulje. 15 I za vaæu stoku dat øu travu na vaæ poljima, i moøi øete jesti do sitosti. 16 A çuvajte se da se ne zavara vaæe srce, da se odmetnete i sluœite drugim bogovima i klanjate im se! 17 Inaçe, raspalit øe se na vas srdœba Gospodi-

12

These are the statutes and judgments which you shall be careful to observe in the land which the LORD God of your fathers is giving you to possess, all the days that you live on the earth. 2 You shall utterly destroy all the places where the nations which you shall dispossess served their gods, on the high mountains and on the hills and under every green tree. 3 And you shall destroy their altars, break their sacred pillars, and burn their wooden images with fire; you shall cut down the carved images of their gods and destroy their names from that place. 4 You shall not worship the LORD your God with such things. 5 But you shall seek the place where the LORD your God chooses, out of all your tribes, to put his name for his habitation; and there you shall go. 6 There you shall take your burnt offerings, your sacrifices, your tithes, the heave offerings of your hand,

To su zakoni i pravni propisi koje uvijek, dokle ste god œivi na zemlji, pazite da ih toçno drœite u zemlji koju vam je dao u posjed Gospodin, Bog vaæih otaca. 2 Sruæite iz temelja sva mjesta u kojima su narodi, koje øete pobijediti, ætovali svoje bogove, na visokim brdima, na breœuljcima, pod svakim zelenim stablom. 3 Poruæite njihove œrtvenike, porazbijajte njihove kamene stupove, popalite njihove drvene likove, raskomadajte kipove njihovih bogova i uniætite njihova imena iz tih mjesta. 4 Nemojte tako iskazivati klanjanje Gospodinu, svojem Bogu. 5 Potraœite mjesto koje izabere Gospodin, vaæ Bog, izmeåu vaæih plemena, da ondje pripravi prebivaliæte svojemu Imenu; ondje idite. 6 Ondje donosite i œrtve paljenice, i svoje zaklanice, svoje desetine, podizanje svojih ruku,

If there arises among you a prophet or a dreamer of dreams, and he gives you a sign or a wonder, 2 and the sign or the wonder of which he spoke to you comes to pass, saying, ‘Let us go after other gods which you have not known, and let us serve them,’ 3 you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams, for the LORD your God is testing you to know whether you love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul. 4 You shall walk after the LORD your God and fear him, and keep his commandments and obey his voice, and you shall serve him and hold fast to him. 5 But that prophet or that dreamer of dreams shall be put to death, because he has spoken in order to turn you away from the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt and redeemed you from the house of bondage, to entice you from the way in which the LORD your God commanded you to walk. So you shall put away the evil from your midst. 6 If your brother, the son of your mother, your son or your daughter, the wife of your bosom, or your friend who is as your own soul, secretly entices you, saying, ‘Let us go and serve other gods,’ which you have not known, neither you nor your fathers, 7 of the gods of the people which are all around you, near to you or far off from you, from one end of the earth to the other end of the earth, 8 you shall not consent to him or listen to him, nor shall your eye pity him, nor shall you spare him or conceal him; 9 but you shall surely kill him; your hand shall be first against him to put him to death, and afterward the hand of all the people. 10 And you shall stone him with stones until he dies, because he sought to entice you away from the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. 11 So all Israel shall hear and fear, and not again do such wickedness as this among you. 12 If you hear someone in one of your cities, which the LORD your God gives you to dwell in, saying, 13 ‘Certain corrupt men have gone out from among you and enticed the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods,’ gods whom you have not known,’ 14 then you shall inquire, search out, and ask dili-

Ako ustane meåu vama koji prorok ili sanjar i navijesti vam koji znak ili çudo, 2 pa se zaista dogodi taj znak ili çudo æto vam ga je navijestio, govoreøi: ‘Hajde da ætujemo druge bogove, koje do sada nismo poznavali, i njima da sluœimo,’ 3 ne sluæaj æto ti govori taj prorok ili sanjar, jer Gospodin, vaæ Bog, kuæa vas da spozna ljubite li Gospodina, svojega Boga, svim svojim srcem i svom svojom duæom. 4 Samo slijeditete Gospodina, svojega Boga, njega se bojte; njegove zapovijedi drœite, njegov glas sluæajte, njemu sluœite i njega se drœite. 5 A onaj prorok ili onaj sanjar neka se pogubi, jer je poticao na otpad od Gospodina, vaæega Boga, koji vas izveo iz egipatske zemlje i izbavi te iz kuøe ropstva. On vas je htio odvratiti od puta, za kojega vam je Gospodin, vaæ Bog, zapovjedio da idete. Tako øete iskorijeniti zlo iz svoje sredine. 6 Ako tvoj brat, sin tvoje majke, ili tvoj sin, ili tvoja køi, ili tvoja mila œena, ili tvoj prijatelj koga ljubiæ kao samoga sebe, hoøe da te tajno zamami: ‘Hajde da sluœimo drugim bogovima,’ koji su vama i vaæim oçevima nepoznati, 7 bogovima naroda oko tebe, u tvoj blizini ili daleko od tebe, od jednoga kraja zemlje do drugoga. 8 ne pristaj s njim, niti ga sluæaj; ni tvoje oko neka ga ne œali, ni ne ætedi ga; ne taji njegove krivnje, 9 nego ga ubij; tvoja ruka neka se prva podigao na njega da ga ubijeæ, pa onda ruka svega naroda. 10 Kamenuj ga do smrti, jer te je pokuæao odvratiti od Gospodina, tvojega Boga, koji te izveo iz egipatske zemlje, iz kuøe ropstva. 11 Sav Izrael neka to çuje i neka se boji da nitko viæe ne poçini takvo zlo meåu vama. 12 Ako u kojem od svojih gradova æto vam ga Gospodin, vaæ Bog, daje za prebivaliæte, govoreøi: 13 ‘Neki nevaljali ljudi iz vaæe sredine izaæli su i zaveli stanovnike svojega grada na otpad, govoreøi: Hajde da sluœimo drugim bogovima, kojih ne poznajete,’ 14 onda dobro istraœite, raspitajte i izvidite.

You are the children of the LORD your God; you shall not cut yourselves nor shave the front of your head for the dead. 2 For you are a holy people to the LORD your God, and the LORD has chosen you to be a people for himself, a special treasure above all the peoples who are on the face of the earth. 3 You shall not eat any detestable thing. 4 These are the animals which you may eat: the ox, the sheep, the goat, 5 the deer, the gazelle, the roe deer, the wild goat, the mountain goat, the antelope, and the mountain sheep. 6 And you may eat every animal with cloven hooves, having the hoof split into two parts, and that chews the cud, among the animals. 7 Nevertheless, of those that chew the cud or have cloven hooves, you shall not eat, such as these: the camel, the hare, and the rock hyrax; for they chew the cud but do not have cloven hooves; they are unclean for you. 8 Also the swine is unclean for you, because it has cloven hooves, yet does not chew the cud; you shall not eat their flesh or touch their dead carcasses. 9 These you may eat of all that are in the waters: you may eat all that have fins and scales. 10 And whatever does not have fins and scales you shall not eat; it is unclean for you. 11 All clean birds you may eat. 12 But these you shall not eat: the eagle, the vulture, the buzzard, 13 the red kite, the falcon, and the kite after their kinds; 14 every raven after its kind; 15 the ostrich, the short-eared owl, the seagull, and the hawk after their kinds; 16 the little owl, the screech owl, the white owl, 17 the jackdaw, the carrion vulture, the fisher owl, 18 the stork, the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe and the bat. 19 Also every creeping thing that flies is unclean for you; they shall not be eaten. 20 You may eat all clean birds. 21 You shall not eat anything that dies of itself; you may give it to the alien who is within your gates, that he may eat it, or you may sell it to a foreigner; for you are a holy people to the LORD your God. You shall not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk. 22 You shall truly tithe all the increase of your grain that the field produces year by year. 23 And you shall eat before the LORD your God, in the place where he chooses to make his name abide, the tithe of your grain and your new wine and your oil, of the firstlings of your herds and your flocks, that you may learn to fear the LORD your God always.

Vi ste djeca Gospodina, Boga svojega. Ne smijete zbog mrtvaca sebi praviti ureze i sprijeda na glavi brijati se. 2 Jer ti si narod koji je svet Gospodinu, svojem Bogu. Tebe je izabrao Gospodin da mu pripadaæ kao njegov vlastiti cijenjeni narod izmeåu svih naroda na zemlji. 3 Ne smijete jesti niæta gnusno. 4 Ovo su œivotinje koje smijete jesti: vol, ovca, koza, 5 jelen, gazela, srndaø, divokoza, gorka koza antilopa, gorska ovca. 6 Sve œivotinje koje imaju papke razdvojene, i to oboje papke posve razdvojene, i koje ujedno preœivaju, smijete jesti. 7 Samo od preœivaça ne smijete jesti ili od onih koje imaju papke razdvojene, a to su: deva, zec i kuniø; oni doduæe preœivaju, ali nemaju razdvojenih papaka; neka su vam neçiste. 8 I svinja neka vam je neçista: ona ima razdvojene papke, ali ne preœiva; ona neka vam je neçista. Mesa njihova ne smijete jesti i crkotine njihove ne smijete se doticati. 9 Od svih œivotinja koje œive u vodi smijete jesti ove: sve koje imaju peraje i ljuske, smijete jesti. 10 A sve æto nemaju peraja i ljusaka, ne smijete jesti; neka su vam neçiste. 11 Sve çiste ptice smijete jesti. 12 Od ovih ne smijete jesti: orla, strvinara, jastreba, 13 tetrijeba, sokola, svih vrsta kobaca, 14 svih vrsta gavrana, 15 noja, kratkouæne sove, galeba i raznih vrsta kobaca, 16 sove, uæare, labuda, 17 pelikana, bijelog strvinara, gnjurca, 18 rode, svih vrsta çaplja, pupavca i æiæmiæa. 19 I sve male krilate œivotinje neka su vam neçiste i ne smiju se jesti. 20 Sve çiste ptice smijete jesti. 21 Nikakve uginule œivotinje ne smijete jesti. Doæljaku, koji boravi u tvojim mjestima, smijeæ ju dati da bi ju jeo, ili ju prodati strancu, ali ti si narod koji je svet Gospodinu, svojem Bogu. Jareta ne smijeæ kuhati u mlijeku njegove majke. 22 Odvajaj svake godine desetinu od svega svojega uroda usjeva æto vam izraste na njivi. 23 Jedi pred Gospodinom, svojim Bogom, na mjestu koje on izabere sebi da ondje prebiva njegovo Ime, desetinu svojega œita, vina i ulja i prvine svojih goveda i ovaca da se nauçiæ uvijek bojati Gospodina, svojega Boga.

At the end of every seven years you shall grant a release of debts. 2 And this is the form of the release: Every creditor who has lent anything to his neighbor shall release it; he shall not require it of his neighbor or his brother, because it is called the LORD’s release. 3 Of a foreigner you may require it; but your hand shall release what is owed by your brother, 4 except when there may be no poor among you; for the LORD will greatly bless you in the land which the LORD your God is giving you to possess as an inheritance– 5 only if you carefully obey the voice of the LORD your God, to observe with care all these commandments which I command you today. 6 For the LORD your God will bless you just as he promised you; you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow; you shall reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over you. 7 If there is among you a poor man of your brethren, within any of the gates in your land which the LORD your God is giving you, you shall not harden your heart nor shut your hand from your poor brother, 8 but you shall open your hand wide to him and willingly lend him sufficient for his need, whatever he needs. 9 Beware lest there be a wicked thought in your heart, saying, ‘The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand,’ and your eye be evil against your poor brother and you give him nothing, and he cry out to the LORD against you, and it become sin among you. 10 You shall surely give to him, and your heart should not be grieved when you give to him, because for this thing the LORD your God will bless you in all your works and in all to which you put your hand. 11 For the poor will never cease from the land; therefore I command you, saying, ‘You shall open your hand wide to your brother, to your poor and your needy, in your land.’ 12 If your brother, a Hebrew man, or a Hebrew woman, is sold to you and serves you six years, then in the seventh year you shall let him go free from you. 13 And when you send him away free from you, you shall not let him go away empty-handed; 14 you shall supply him liberally from your flock, from your threshing floor, and from your winepress. From what the LORD has blessed you with, you shall give to him.

Na kraju svake sedme godine dat øeæ oproætenje dugova. 2 Oprost neka bude na ovako: svaki neka oprosti duœniku koji je dao svojem bliœnjemu; neka ne utjeruje od svojega bliœnjega ni od svojega brata, jer se zove oprost Gospodinov. 3 Od doæljaka smijeæ uzimati, ali æto je od tvojega bliœnjega, oprosti mu. 4 Doduæe ne bi trebalo biti siromaha kod tebe, jer te Gospodin obilno blagoslivlja u zemlji koju ti Gospodin, tvoj Bog, daje da je zaposjedneæ kao baætinu, 5 samo ako sluæaæ glas Gospodina, svojega Boga, i drœiæ toçno sve zapovijedi koje ti danas zapovjedam. 6 Jer øe te blagosloviti Gospodin, tvoj Bog, kako ti je obeøao; mnogim øeæ narodima davati zajmove, a sam ih neøeæ uzimati, i vladat øeæ mnogim narodima, a oni nad tobom neøe vladati. 7 Ako ima siromah izmeåu tvoje braøe u kojem tvojem mjestu u zemlji koju ti daje Gospodin, tvoj Bog, onda ne budi tvrda srca i ne zatvaraj svoje ruke pred siromahom, svojim bratom. 8 Nego mu rado otvori svoju ruku i posudi mu drage volje koliko god mu treba i æto god mu je potrebno. 9 Çuvaj se da se ne porodi u tvojem srcu opaka misao, govoreøi: Blizu je sedma godina, godina oprostna, i da zlo ne gledaæ na siromaha svojega brata, pa da mu ne daæ niæta. Ako on protiv tebe zazove Gospodina, na tebi je grijeh. 10 Podaj mu rado i ne budi zlovoljan u svojem srcu kad mu dajeæ, jer øe te za taj çin blagosloviti Gospodin, tvoj Bog, u svakom poslu i u tvojem pothvatu. 11 Jer bit øe uvijek siromaha u zemlji, zato ti zapovjedam, govoreøi: ‘Otvori rado svoju ruku svojem potrebitu i siromaænu bratu u svojoj zemlji.’ 12 Ako ti se proda koji brat, Hebrejac ili Hebrejka, neka ti sluœi æest godina, a sedme godine otpusti ga od sebe slobodna. 13 Kad ga otpustiæ slobodna, ne otpuætaj ga praznih ruku. 14 Bogato ga daruj darovima od svoje stoke, svojega gumna i iz svojega tijeska; sa çime te je blagoslovio Gospodin, tvoj Bog, od toga mu podaj.

Observe the month of Abib, and keep the Passover to the LORD your God, for in the month of Abib the LORD your God brought you out of Egypt by night. 2 Therefore you shall sacrifice the Passover to the LORD your God, from the flock and the herd, in the place where the LORD chooses to put his name. 3 You shall eat no leavened bread with it; seven days you shall eat unleavened bread with it, that is, the bread of affliction (for you came out of the land of Egypt in haste), that you may remember the day in which you came out of the land of Egypt all the days of your life. 4 And no leaven shall be seen among you in all your territory for seven days, nor shall any of the meat which you sacrifice the first day at twilight remain overnight until morning. 5 You may not sacrifice the Passover within any of your gates which the LORD your God gives you; 6 but at the place where the LORD your God chooses to make his name abide, there you shall sacrifice the Passover at twilight, at the going down of the sun, at the time you came out of Egypt. 7 And you shall roast and eat it in the place which the LORD your God chooses, and in the morning you shall turn and go to your tents. 8 Six days you shall eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day there shall be a sacred assembly to the LORD your God. You shall do no work on it. 9 You shall count seven weeks for yourself; begin to count the seven weeks from the time you begin to put the sickle to the grain. 10 Then you shall keep the Feast of Weeks to the LORD your God with the tribute of a freewill offering from your hand, which you shall give as the LORD your God blesses you. 11 You shall rejoice before the LORD your God, you and your son and your daughter, your manservant and your maidservant, the Levite who is within your gates, the stranger and the fatherless and the widow who are among you, at the place where the LORD your God chooses to make his name abide. 12 And you shall remember that you were a slave in

Tri godiænje Sveçanosti

Obdrœavaj na mjesec abib i svetkuj Pashu u çast Gospodinu, svojem Bogu, jer u mjesecu abibu noøu izveo te je Gospodin, tvoj Bog, iz Egipta. 2 Zato œrtvuj Pashu u çast Gospodinu, svojem Bogu, ovce i goveda na mjestu koje izabere Gospodin za prebivaliæte svojem Imenu. 3 Ne smijeæ jesti s njom niæta kvasno; nego sedam dana jedi s njom beskvasne kruhove, koji je kruh nevolje, jer si u nagloj hitnji iziæao iz egipatske zemlje, da bi se sjeøao, dok si god œiv, dana svojega izlaska iz egipatske zemlje. 4 Sedam dana ne smije se naøi kod tebe nikakav kvasac u cijelom tvojem podruçju. Od mesa koje œrtvujeæ uveçer prvoga dana, ne smije preostati niæta do jutra. 5 Ne smijeæ œrtvovati Pashu u bilo kojem od svojih mjesta koja ti je dao Gospodin, tvoj Bog, 6 nego samo na mjestu koje izabere Gospodin, tvoj Bog, za prebivaliæte svojem Imenu. Ondje øeæ œrtvovati Pashu naveçer o sunçanom zalasku, u vrijeme kad si iziæao iz Egipta. 7 Peci i jedi ga na mjestu koje izabere sebi Gospodin, tvoj Bog, a drugoga jutra moœeæ se povratiti kuøi. 8 Æest dana jedi beskvasni kruh, a sedmi dan neka bude sveti saziv u çast Gospodinu, tvojem Bogu. Onda ne smijeæ obavljati nikakva posla. 9 Nabroji sebi sedam tjedana; poçni brojiti sedam tjedana od dana kad se stavi srp na œito, 10 Onda drœi Gozbu Tjedana u çast Gospodinu, svojem Bogu, s dragovoljnim darovima koje daruje tvoja ruka koliko god moœe, kako te blagoslovi Gospodin, tvoj Bog. 11 Veseli se na mjestu koje izabere Gospodin, tvoj Bog, kao prebivaliæte svojem Imenu, pred Gospodinom, svojim Bogom: ti, tvoj sin i tvoja køi, tvoj sluga i tvoja sluækinja, Levit, koji œivi u tvojim mjestima, i doæljak, i udovica i sirota, koji stanuju kod tebe. 12 Trebaæ pomisliti na to da si i ti bio rob u

17

You shall not sacrifice to the LORD your God a bull or sheep which has any blemish or defect, for that is an abomination to the LORD your God. 2 If there is found among you, within any of your gates which the LORD your God gives you, a man or a woman who has been wicked in the sight of the LORD your God, in transgressing his covenant, 3 who has gone and served other gods and worshiped them, either the sun or moon or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded, 4 and it is told you, and you hear of it, then you shall inquire diligently. And if it is indeed true and certain that such an abomination has been committed in Israel, 5 then you shall bring out to your gates that man or woman who has committed that wicked thing, and shall stone to death that man or woman with stones. 6 Whoever is worthy of death shall be put to death on the testimony of two or three witnesses, but he shall not be put to death on the testimony of one witness. 7 The hands of the witnesses shall be the first against him to put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the people. So you shall put away the evil person from among you. 8 If a matter arises which is too hard for you to judge, between degrees of bloodguiltiness, between one judgment or another, or between one punishment or another, matters of controversy within your gates, then you shall arise and go up to the place which the LORD your God chooses, 9 and you shall come to the priests, the Levites, and to the judge there in those days, and inquire of them; they shall pronounce upon you the sentence of judgment.

Zabrana idolopoklonstva. O kralju

Ne smijeæ œrtvovati Gospodinu, svojem Bogu, vola ni ovce æto ima na sebi bilo kakvu manu ili nakazu, jer je to odvratno Gospodinu, tvojem Bogu. 2 Ako se naåe meåu vama, u kojem od mjesta tvojih, koja ti je dao Gospodin, tvoj Bog, çovjek ili œena koji çine æto je mrsko Gospodinu, tvojem Bogu, prestupaju njegov zavjet, 3 idu i sluœe idolima i klanjaju se njima ili suncu, mjesecu, ili svoj vojsci nebeskoj æto sam zabranio, 4 i tebi se to javi, i ti to çujeæ, onda presluæaj i dobro raspitaj, pa ako bude istina i zaista se uçinila takva odurnost u Izraelu, 5 onda izvedi na gradska vrata toga çovjeka ili tu œenu koji su uçinili takvo zlo, i kamenuj toga çovjeka ili œenu na smrt. 6 Na svjedoçanstvo dva ili tri svjedok neka se pogubi onaj koji je na smrt optuœen! Na svjedoçanstvo jednoga svjedoka ne smije se pogubiti. 7 Svjedoci neka najprije dignu ruku protiv njega da ga ubiju, a poslije toga neka ruke ostalog naroda. Tako øeæ ukloniti zlu osobu iz svoje sredine. 8 Ako ti bude odviæe teœak koji pravni sluçaj za suditi, izmeåu stepena ubojstva, izmeåu jedne presude i druge, ili izmeåu jedne kazne i druge, pitanje nesporazuma unutar tvojih vrata, onda ustani i idi na mjesto koje sebi izabere Gospodin, tvoj Bog. 9 Obrati se sveøenicima, Levitima i sucu, koji bude tamo u ono vrijeme, i upitaj njih i oni neka ti objave zakonsku presudu.

When the LORD your God has cut off the nations whose land the LORD your God is giving you, and you dispossess them and dwell in their cities and in their houses, 2 you shall separate three cities for yourself in the midst of your land which the LORD your God is giving you to possess. 3 You shall prepare roads for yourself, and divide into three parts the territory of your land which the L ORD your God is giving you to inherit, that any manslayer may flee there. 4 And this is the case of the manslayer who flees there, that he may live: Whoever kills his neighbor unintentionally, not having hated him in time past– 5 as when a man goes to the woods with his neighbor to cut timber, and his hand swings a stroke with the ax to cut down the tree, and the head slips from the handle and strikes his neighbor so that he dies–he shall flee to one of these cities and live; 6 lest the avenger of blood, while his anger is hot, pursue the manslayer and overtake him, because the way is long, and kill him, though he was not worthy of death, since he had not hated the victim in time past. 7 Therefore I command you, saying, ‘You shall separate three cities for yourself.’ 8 Now if the LORD your God enlarges your territory, as he swore to your fathers, and gives you the land which he promised to give to your fathers,

Svaki ubojica neka mogne pobjeøi ondje. 4 Ova uredba neka vrijedi za ubojicu koji pobjegne ondje da bi ostao na œivotu: Tko ubije drugoga nehotice, a da mu veø prije nije bio neprijatelj, 5 kao kad bi otiæao u æumu s drugim da sijeçe drva, i ruka bi njegova zamahnula sjekirom da posijeçe drvo, a sjekira bi spala s drœalice i pogodila drugoga tako da umre, onda neka uteçe u koji od tih gradova da ostane œiv. 6 Inaçe, krvni osvetnik dok je u svojoj srdœbi potjera ubojicu i stigne ga, jer je put odviæe dalek, i ubije ga, premda nije skrivio smrt, jer mu prije nije bio neprijatelj. 7 Zato ti zapovjedam ovako: ‘Odvoji sebi tri grada.’ 8 Kad Gospodin, tvoj Bog, raæiri tvoje podruçje, kao æto se zakleo tvojim oçevima, i dao ti svu zemlju koju je obeøao tvojim oçevima,

When you go out to battle against you enemies, and see horses and chariots and people more numerous than you, do not be afraid of them; for the LORD your God is with you, who brought you up from the land of Egypt. 2 So it shall be, when you are on the verge of battle, that the priest shall approach and speak to the people. 3 And he shall say to them, ‘Hear, O Israel: Today you are on the verge of battle with your enemies; do not let your heart faint, do not be afraid, and do not tremble or be terrified because of them; 4 for the LORD your God is he who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.’ 5 Then the officers shall speak to the people, saying: ‘What man is there who has built a new house and has not dedicated it? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle and another man dedicate it. 6 And what man is there who has planted a vineyard and has not yet eaten of it? Let him also go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle and another man eat of it. 7 And what man is there who is betrothed to a woman and has not yet married her? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle and another man marry her.’ 8 Then the officers shall speak further to the people, and say, ‘What man is there who is fearful and fainthearted? Let him go and return to his house, lest the heart of his brethren faint like his heart.’

Ratni zakoni

Kad poåeæ u boj protiv svojih neprijatelja i opaziæ konje i kola i narod brojniji od sebe, nemoj ih se bojati, jer je s tobom Gospodin, tvoj Bog, koji te izveo iz egipatske zemlje. 2 Ovako neka bude, da kad ulazite u bitku, neka pristupi sveøenik i neka progovori narodu, 3 i neka im rekne: ‘Sluæaj, Izraele! Vi sad polazite u boj protiv svojih neprijatelja; ne dajte da vam oslabi vaæe srce, ne dræçite od njih i ne bojte ih se. 4 Jer Gospodin, vaæ Bog, ide s vama u boj protiv vaæih neprijatelja i pomoøi øe vam da pobijedite. 5 A voåe neka kaœu narodu: ‘Tko je sagradio novu kuøu a nije ju joæ posvetio, neka ide i neka se vrati svojoj kuøi, inaçe mogao bi pasti u boju i drugi ju posvetiti. 6 Ima li koji çovjek koji je zasadio vinograd, a joæ nije s njega jeo? Neka ide i neka se vrati svojoj kuøi, da ne bi sluçajno pao u boju i tko drugi ga pojeo. 7 Ima li koji çovjek koji se zaruçio œenom a joæ ju nije oœenio, neka ide i neka se vrati svojoj kuøi, da ne bi sluçajno pao u boju i tko drugi ju oœenio.’ 8 Nadalje neka voåe kaœu narodu ovo: ‘Tko je straæljiv i maloduæan, neka ide i neka se vrati svojoj kuøi da joæ ne prestraæi i svoju braøu, kao æto je i sam prestraæen.’

If anyone is found slain, lying in the field in the land which the LORD your God is giving you to possess, and it is not known who killed him, 2 then your elders and your judges shall go out, and they shall measure the distance from the slain man to the surrounding cities. 3 And it shall be that the elders of the city nearest to the slain man will take a heifer which has not been worked and which has not pulled with a yoke; 4 and the elders of that city shall bring the heifer down to a valley with flowing water, which is neither plowed nor sown, and they shall break the heifer’s neck there in the valley. 5 Then the priests, the sons of Levi, shall come near, for the LORD your God has chosen them to minister to him and to bless in the name of the LORD; by their word every controversy and every assault shall be settled. 6 And all the elders of that city nearest to the slain man shall wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken in the valley. 7 Then they shall answer and say, ‘Our hands have not shed this blood, nor have our eyes seen it. 8 Provide atonement, O LORD, for your people Israel, whom you have redeemed, and do not lay innocent blood to the charge of your people Israel.’ And atonement shall be provided on their behalf for the blood. 9 So you shall put away the guilt of innocent blood from among you when you do what is right in the sight of the LORD. 10 When you go out to war against your enemies,

You shall not see your brother’s ox or hi sheep going astray, and hide yourself from them; you shall certainly bring them back to your brother. 2 And if your brother is not near you, or if you do not know him, then you shall bring it to your own house, and it shall remain with you until your brother seeks it; then you shall restore it to him. 3 You shall do the same with his donkey, and so shall you do with his garment; with any lost thing of your brother’s, which he has lost and you have found, you shall do likewise; you must not hide yourself. 4 You shall not see your brother’s donkey or his ox fall down along the road, and hide yourself from them; you shall surely help him lift them up again. 5 A woman shall not wear anything that pertains to a man, nor shall a man put on a woman’s garment, for all who do so are an abomination to the LORD your God. 6 If a bird’s nest happens to be before you along the way, in any tree or on the ground, with young ones or eggs, with the mother sitting on the young or on the eggs, you shall not take the mother with the young; 7 you shall surely let the mother go, and take the

He who is emasculated by crushing or mutilation shall not enter the congregation of the

LORD. 2 One of illegitimate birth shall not enter the congregation of the LORD; even to the tenth generation none of his descendants shall enter the congregation of the LORD. 3 An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter the congregation of the LORD; even to the tenth generation none of his descendants shall enter the congregation of the LORD forever, 4 because they did not meet you with bread and water on the road when you came out of Egypt, and because they hired against you Balaam the son of Beor from Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse you. 5 Nevertheless the LORD your God would not listen to Balaam, but the LORD your God turned the curse into a blessing for you, because the LORD your God loves you. 6 You shall not seek their peace nor their prosperity all your days forever. 7 You shall not abhor an Edomite, for he is your brother. You shall not abhor an Egyptian, because you were an alien in his land. 8 The children of the third generation born to them may enter the congregation of the LORD. 9 When the army goes out against your enemies, then keep yourself from every wicked thing. 10 If there is any man among you who becomes unclean by some occurrence in the night, then he shall go outside the camp; he shall not come inside the camp. 11 But it shall be, when evening comes, that he shall wash himself with water; and when the sun sets, he may come into the camp again. 12 Also you shall have a place outside the camp, where you may go out; 13 and you shall have an implement among your equipment, and when you sit down outside, you shall dig with it and turn and cover your refuse. 14 For the LORD your God walks in the midst of your camp, to deliver you and give your enemies over to you; therefore your camp shall be holy, that he may see no unclean thing among you, and turn away from you. 15 You shall not give back to his master the slave who has escaped from his master to you. 16 He may dwell with you in your midst, in the place which he chooses within one of your gates, where it seems best to him; you shall not oppress him. 17 There shall be no ritual harlot of the daughters of Israel, or a perverted one of the sons of Israel. 18 You shall not bring the hire of a harlot or the price of a dog to the house of the LORD your God for any vowed offering, for both of these are an abomination to the LORD your God. 19 You shall not charge interest to your brother– interest on money or food or anything that is lent out at interest. 20 To a foreigner you may charge interest, but to your brother you shall not charge interest, that the LORD your God may bless you in all to which you set your hand in the land which you are entering to possess. 21 When you make a vow to the LORD your God, you shall not delay to pay it; for the LORD your God will surely require it of you, and it would be sin to you.

Primanje i neprimanje u zajednicu

Nitko tko je onesposobljen utuçenjem ili uækopljennjem, ne smije biti primljen u zajednicu Gospodinovu. 2 Ni jedan roåen od nezakonita braka ne smije se primiti u zajednicu Gospodinovu. Ni u desetom koljenu ne smije se primiti u zajednicu Gospodinovu. 3 Ni jedan Amonac i ni jedan Moabac ne smije se primiti u zajednicu Gospodinovu. Ni njihovo deseto koljeno ne smije se nikad primiti u zajednicu Gospodinovu, 4 Jer nisu izaæli pred vas s jelom i pilom na izlasku vaæem iz Egipta, i jer su protiv vas potkupili Balaama, sina Beorova, iz Petora u Mezopotamiji, da te prokune. 5 Ipak Gospodin, tvoj Bog, nije htio posluæati Balaama, nego ti Gospodin, tvoj Bog, okrenuo prokletstvo u blagoslov, jer te ljubio Gospodin, tvoj Bog. 6 Ne teœi nikad, dok si œiv, za njihovim mirom i njihovim napretkom, u sve dane dovijeka. 7 Ne mrzi Edomca, jer ti je po krvi rod. Ne mrzi ni Egipøanina, jer si bio u njegovoj zemlji stranac. 8 Potomci koji im se rode, smiju se primiti u treøem koljenu u zajednicu Gospodinovu. 9 Kad poåeæ u tabor protiv svojih neprijatelja, çuvaj se od svake zle stvari. 10 Ako je netko uza te koji je postao neçist od noønoga izljeva, neka iziåe iz tabora! On ne smije opet natrag doøi u tabor. 11 Kad padne veçer, neka se opere, i kad sunce zaåe, neka se vrati u tabor. 12 Izvan tabora imaj mjesto gdje øeæ izlaziti. 13 U odjeøi svojoj imaj lopaticu i njom, kad moraæ iziøi, iskopaj jamu i poslije zagrni neçist svoju. 14 Jer Gospodin, tvoj Bog, ide posred tvojega tabora, da te ætiti i da ti preda tvoje neprijatelje. Zato neka je tabor tvoj svet, da ne naåe kod tebe niæta neçisto i da se ne odvrati od tebe. 15 Roba, koji uteçe k tebi od svojega gospodara, ne smijeæ izdati njegovu gospodaru. 16 Neka ostane kod tebe na mjestu koje izabere sebi u jednom od tvojih gradova, gdje mu se svidi, i ne smijeæ ga muçiti. 17 Neka ne bude bludnice meåu køerima Izraelovim i neka ne bude bludnika meåu Izraelovim sinovima. 18 Ne nosi bludniçine plaøe ni pasjih novaca u dom Gospodina, svojega Boga, za bilo koji zavjet, jer je oboje odurnost Gospodinu, tvojem Bogu. 19 Od svojega brata ne smijeæ uzimati kamatu, niti za novce, niti za hranu, niti za igdje iæta æto se posuåuje na kamate. 20 Od stranaca smijeæ traœiti kamate, ali od svojega brata ne smijeæ uzimati kamate da te Gospodin, tvoj Bog, blagoslovi u svim tvojim djelima u zemlji u koju ideæ da je primiæ u posjed. 21 Kad uçiniæ zavjet Gospodinu, svojem Bogu, ne oklijevaj ispuniti ga, jer øe ga strogo traœiti od tebe Gospodin, tvoj Bog; bio bi ti grijeh.

When a man takes a wife and marries her, and it happens that she finds no favor in his eyes because he has found some uncleanness in her, and he writes her a certificate of divorce, puts it in her hand, and sends her out of his house, 2 when she has departed from his house, and goes and becomes another man’s wife, 3 if the latter husband detests her and writes her a certificate of divorce, puts it in her hand, and sends her out of his house, or if the latter husband dies who took her to be his wife, 4 then her former husband who divorced her must not take her back to be his wife after she has been defiled; for that is an abomination before the LORD, and you shall not bring sin on the land which the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance. 5 When a man has taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war or be charged with any business; he shall be free at home one year, and bring happiness to his wife whom he has taken. 6 No man shall take the lower or the upper millstone in pledge, for he takes one’s living in pledge. 7 If a man is found kidnapping any of his brethren of the sons of Israel, and mistreats him or sells him, then that kidnapper shall die; and you shall put away the evil person from among you. 8 Take heed in an outbreak of leprosy, that you diligently observe and do according to all that the priests, the Levites, shall teach you; just as I commanded them, so you shall be careful to do. 9 Remember what the LORD your God did to Miriam on the way when you came out of Egypt. 10 When you lend your brother anything, you shall not go into his house to get his pledge. 11 You shall stand outside, and the man to whom you lend shall bring the pledge out to you. 12 And if the man is poor, you shall not keep his pledge overnight. 13 You shall in any case return the pledge to him again when the sun goes down, that he may sleep in his own garment and bless you; and it shall be righteousness to you before the LORD your God. 14 You shall not oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy, whether one of your brethren or one of the aliens who is in your land within your gates. 15 Each day you shall give him his wages, and not let the sun go down on it, for he is poor and has set his heart on it; lest he cry out against you to the LORD, and it be sin to you. 16 The fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor shall the children be put to death for their fathers; a person shall be put to death for his own sin. 17 You shall not pervert justice due the stranger or the fatherless, nor take a widow’s garment as a pledge. 18 But you shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt, and the LORD your God redeemed you from there; therefore I command you to do this thing. 19 When you reap your harvest in your field, and for-

Pismo rastavno

Kad tko uzme œenu i oœeni se s njom, i ona mu se potom viæe ne sviåa, jer na njoj naåe neæto ruœno, neka joj napiæe otpusno pismo, dade joj ga u ruke i otpusti ju iz svoje kuøe. 2 Kad ona ode iz njegove kuøe i uda se za drugoga, 3 pa ako i ovaj drugi muœ omrzne na nju, napiæe joj otpusno pismo, dade joj ga u ruke i otpusti ju iz svoje kuøe, ili ako umre ovaj drugi muœ, koji se njom oœenio, 4 onda se prvi njezin muœ, koji ju je otpustio, ne smije opet s njom oœeniti, poæto je postala neçista, jer to je odurnost pred Gospodinom, i ti ne smijeæ opteretiti zemlju krivnjom, koju ti Gospodin, tvoj Bog, daje u baætinu. 5 Ako se netko skoro oœenio, ne treba iøi u vojsku. Neka mu se ne nameøu nikakve obveze i godinu dana neka je slobodan za svoju kuøu i neka razveseljuje svoju œenu koju je doveo. 6 Ne smije se uzimati u zalog ruçni mlin ili gornji mlinski kamen, jer tim se uzima œivot u zalog. 7 Ako se tko naåe da je ukrao od koga izmeåu svoje braøe, kojeg Izraelca, i s njim kao s robom postupao ili ga prodao, taj kradljivac neka se usmrti! Tako øeæ ukloniti zlo iz svoje sredine. 8 Kod zaraze gubom radite toçno i paœljivo po svim uputama koje vam daju levitski sveøenici. Oni neka rade toçno onako kako sam im zapovjedio! 9 Pomisli na ono æto je Gospodin, tvoj Bog, uçinio Mirjami na putu kad ste izaæli iz Egipta. 10 Ako dadeæ svojem bliœnjemu æto u zajam, ne idi u njegovu kuøu da mu uzmeæ zalog. 11 Stoj vani, a onaj komu si dao zajam, neka ti iznese zalog. 12 Ako je siromah, ne spavaj sa zalogom njegovim. 13 Vrati mu zalog çim zapadne sunce, da moœe leøi spavati u svojem ogrtaçu i da te blagoslivlja. To øe ti se uraçunati u zaslugu pred Gospodinom, tvojim Bogom. 14 Ne smijeæ zakidati uboga i siromaæna nadniçara, bilo da je on jedan od tvoje braøe ili jedan od stranaca koji su u tvojoj zemlji, u tvojim mjestima. 15 Isti dan podaj mu plaøu njegovu. Sunce neka ne zaåe nad njom, jer je siromaæan i uzdiæe za njom. Inaçe zavapit øe protiv tebe Gospodinu, i ti bi tako sagrijeæio. 16 Oçevi neka se ne usmrøuju zbog djece i djeca zbog otaca. Svaki neka bude usmrøen za svoj vlastiti grijeh. 17 Ne smijeæ iskrivljavati pravice doæljaku ili siroti i ne smijeæ uzimati u zalog haljine udovici. 18 Pomisli na to da si bio rob u Egiptu i da te odande oslobodio Gospodin, tvoj Bog.

If there is a dispute between men, and they come to court, that the judges may judge them, and they justify the righteous and condemn the wicked, 2 then it shall be, if the wicked man deserves to be beaten, that the judge will cause him to lie down and be beaten in his presence, according to his guilt, with a certain number of blows. 3 Forty blows he may give him and no more, lest he should exceed this and beat him with many blows above these, and your brother be humiliated in your sight. 4 You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain. 5 If brothers dwell together, and one of them dies and has no son, the widow of the dead man shall not be married to a stranger outside the family; her husband’s brother shall go in to her, take her as his wife, and perform the duty of a husband’s brother to her. 6 And it shall be that the firstborn son which she bears will succeed to the name of his dead brother, that his name may not be blotted out of Israel. 7 But if the man does not want to take his brother’s wife, then let his brother’s wife go up to the gate to the elders, and say, ‘My husband’s brother refuses to raise up a name to his brother in Israel; he will not perform the duty of my husband’s brother.’ 8 Then the elders of his city shall call him and speak to him; and if he stands firm and says, ‘I do not want to take her,’ 9 then his brother’s wife shall come to him in the presence of the elders, remove his sandal from his foot, spit in his face, and answer and say, ‘So shall it be done to the man who will not build up his brother’s house.’ 10 And his name shall be called in Israel, ‘The house of him who had his sandal removed.’ 11 If two men fight together, and the wife of one draws near to rescue her husband from the hand of the one attacking him, and puts out her hand and seizes him by the genitals, 12 then you shall cut off her hand; your eye shall not pity her. 13 You shall not have in your bag differing weights, a heavy and a light. 14 You shall not have in your house differing measures, a large and a small. 15 You shall have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure, that your days may be lengthened in the land which the LORD your God is giving you. 16 For all who do such things, and all who behave unrighteously, are an abomination to the LORD your God. 17 Remember what Amalek did to you on the way as you were coming out of Egypt, 18 how he met you on the way and attacked your rear ranks, all the stragglers at your rear, when you were tired and weary; and he did not fear God. 19 Therefore it shall be, when the LORD your God has

Ako doåe do rasprave izmeåu ljudi, i oni doåu pred sud da bi im sudac sudio, i oni neduœna oslobode, a krivca osude, 2 onda neka bude, ako je krivac zasluœio batine, neka sudac zapovjedi da legne i da mu pred njim dadu toliko udaraca koliko odgovara njegovoj krivnji. 3 Çetrdeset udaraca smije zapovjediti da mu se dade, ali ne viæe, da se ne ponizi pred tobom tvoj brat, kad bi mu se preko toga udarilo joæ viæe udaraca. 4 Ne smijeæ zavezati usta volu kad vræe œito! 5 Ako braøa stanuju skupa i jedan od njih umre, a ne ostavi sina iza sebe, onda neka se œena umrloga ne uda vani za stranca. Muœev brat neka ode k njoj, neka ju uzme za œenu i izvræi na njoj duœnost muœeva brata. 6 Prvoroåenac, koga ona rodi, neka nosi ime brata umrloga da ne izumre njegovo ime u Izraelu. 7 Ako li onaj çovjek neøe uzeti œene svojega brata, onda neka œena njegova brata ode na gradska vrata pred starjeæine i neka rekne: ‘Brat mojega muœa neøe da saçuva ime svojem bratu u Izraelu i neøe uçiniti duœnost brata mojega muœa.’ 8 Starjeæine njegova grada neka ga onda dozovu i povuku na odgovor. Prikaœe li se on i dade li izjavu: ‘Neøu ju uzeti za œenu.’ 9 Onda neka pristupi k njemu œena njegova brata, pred starjeæinama neka mu izuje obuøu s nogu, neka mu pljune u lice i glasno povikne: ‘Tako neka bude çovjeku, koji neøe da zida kuøe svojega brata!’ 10 Kuøa njegova neka se u Izraelu zove samo joæ ‘kuøa bosoga.’ 11 Ako se potuku ljudi i œena od jednoga se pribliœi da otme svojega muœa iz ruku onoga koji ga tuçe, i pruœi svoju ruku i uhvati ga za sram, 12 onda joj odsijeci ruku; tvoje oko neka ne ima milosråa. 13 Ne smijeæ nositi u svojoj torbi dvojaki uteg, teœi i lakæi. 14 Ne smijeæ imati u svojoj kuøi dvojaku mjeru, veøu i manju. 15 Ne smijeæ imati u svojoj kuøi dvojaki uteg neka ti je puna i prava mjera, da dugo œiviæ u zemlji koju ti daje Gospodin, tvoj Bog. 16 Jer svaki koji çini tako i svaki koji çini nepoæteno odvratno je Gospodinu, tvojem Bogu. 17 Pomisli na to æto su ti uçinili Amaleçani na putu kad ste iæli iz Egipta. 18 Na putu su te napali, jer si bio umoran i iznemogao, pobili kod tvoje zadnje grupe sve koji su od umora zastali za tobom, bez straha od Boga. 19 Kad te jednom Gospodin, tvoj Bog, smiri od

And it shall be, when you come into the land which the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, and you possess it and dwell in it, 2 that you shall take some of the first of all the produce of the ground, which you shall bring from your land that the LORD your God is giving you, and put it in a basket and go to the place where the LORD your God chooses to make his name abide. 3 And you shall go to the one who is priest in those days, and say to him, ‘I declare today to the LORD your God that I have come to the country which the LORD swore to our fathers to give us.’ 4 Then the priest shall take the basket out of your hand and set it down before the altar of the LORD your God. 5 And you shall answer and say before the LORD your God: ‘My father was a Syrian, about to perish, and he went down to Egypt and sojourned there, few in number; and there he became a nation, great, mighty, and populous. 6 But the Egyptians mistreated us, afflicted us, and laid hard bondage on us. 7 Then we cried out to the LORD God of our fathers, and the LORD heard our voice and looked on our affliction and our labor and our oppression. 8 So the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand and with an outstretched arm, with great terror and with signs and wonders. 9 He has brought us to this place and has given us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey; 10 and now, behold, I have brought the firstfruits of the land which you, O LORD, have given me.’ Then you shall set it before the LORD your God, and worship before the LORD your God. 11 So you shall rejoice in every good thing which the LORD your God has given to you and your house, you and the Levite and the stranger who is among you. 12 When you have finished laying aside all the tithe of your increase in the third year, which is the year of tithing, and have given it to the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, so that they may eat within your gates and be filled, 13 then you shall say before the LORD your God: ‘I have removed the holy tithe from my house, and also have given them to the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, according to all your commandments which you have commanded me; I have not transgressed your commandments, nor have I forgotten them. 14 I have not eaten any of it when in mourning, nor have I removed any of it for any unclean use, nor given any of it for the dead. I have obeyed the voice of the LORD my God, and have done according to all that you have commanded me. 15 Look down from your holy habitation, from heaven, and bless your people Israel and the land which you have given us, just as you swore to our fathers, ‘a land flowing with milk and honey.’ 16 This day the LORD your God commands you to observe these statutes and judgments; therefore you shall be careful to observe them with all your heart and with all your soul. 17 Today you have proclaimed the LORD to be your God, and that you will walk in his ways and keep his statutes, his commandments, and his judgments, and that you will obey his voice.

Prvine i desetine

Kad doåeæ u zemlju koju ti daje Gospodin, tvoj Bog, u baætinu i primiæ je u posjed i naseliæ se u njoj, 2 Onda uzmi dio od prvina svih poljskih plodova æto si ih poœeo od zemlje koju ti daje Gospodin, tvoj Bog, stavi ih u koæaru i idi na mjesto, koje izabere Gospodin, tvoj Bog, da ondje prebiva njegovo Ime. 3 Ondje doåi k sveøeniku koji u to vrijeme bude u sluœbi, i kaœi mu: ‘Zahvaljujem danas Gospodinu, tvojem Bogu, da sam doæao u zemlju za koju se Gospodin zakleo naæim oçevima da øe im je dati.’ 4 Nato neka uzme sveøenik koæaru iz tvoje ruke i stavi ju pred œrtvenik Gospodina, tvojega Boga. 5 Onda izgovori i kaœi pred Gospodinom, svojim Bogom: ‘Moj otac bio je Sirijac, koji je lutao naokolo, s malo ljudi otiæao je u Egipat i ondje se smjestio. Ondje je postao veliki narod, jak i mnogobrojan. 6 Ali kad su Egipøani zlo postupali s nama, tlaçili nas i stavljali na nas teæke poslove, 7 mi smo zavapili Gospodinu, Bogu svojih otaca. I Gospodin je çuo naæ glas i pogledao na naæu nevolju, na naæ trud i na naæu muku: 8 Gospodin nas izveo jakom miæicom i rukom podignutom, velikom srahovitoæøu, znacima i çudesima. 9 Doveo nas na ovo mjesto i dao nam ovu zemlju, zemlju u kojoj teçe mlijeko i med. 10 I sada evo, donosim prvine od plodova zemlje koju si mi dao, Gospodine!’ Onda stavi koæaru pred Gospodina, svojega Boga, i pokloni se Gospodinu, svojem Bogu. 11 Veseli se svakim dobrom koji je dao Gospodin, tvoj Bog, tebi i tvojoj kuøi, ti i Levit i doæljak koji je kod tebe. 12 Kad u treøoj godini, u godini desetine, odijeliæ svu desetinu od svojih dohodaka i predaæ je Levitu, doæljaku, siroti i udovici da od toga u tvojem prebivaliætu jedu i nasite se, 13 onda moli pred Gospodinom, svojim Bogom: ‘Iznio sam iz svoje kuøe æto je posveøeno i dao sam Levitu, doæljaku, siroti i udovici sve toçno po zapovijedima koje si mi ti dao. Nijedne tvoje zapovijedi ja nisam prestupio i nisam zaboravio. 14 Nisam jeo od toga u svojoj œalosti i niæta nisam uzeo od toga kad sam bio neçist. Niæta od toga nisam darovao za mrtvaca. Posluæao sam Gospodina, svojega Boga, i uçinio sam kako si zapovjedio. 15 Pogledaj iz svojega svetoga prebivaliæta s neba, i blagoslovi svoj narod Izraela i zemlju koju si nam dao, kako si se zakleo naæim oçevima, zemlju u kojoj teçe mlijeko i med.’ 16 Danas ti zapovjeda Gospodin, tvoj Bog, da drœiæ ove zakone i pravne propise. Zato toçno ih izvræuj svim svojim srcem i svom svojom duæom! 17 Danas si objavio da øe Gospodin biti tvoj Bog, a ti da øeæ iøi njegovim putovima i drœati njegove zakone, njegove zapovijedi i njegove pravne propise i posluæati njegov glas.

Then Moses, with the elders of Israel, comanded the people, saying: “Keep all the commandments which I command you today. 2 And it shall be, on the day when you cross over the Jordan to the land which the LORD your God is giving you, that you shall set up for yourselves large stones, and whitewash them with lime. 3 You shall write on them all the words of this law, when you have crossed over, that you may enter the land which the LORD your God is giving you, ‘a land flowing with milk and honey,’ just as the LORD God of your fathers has promised you. 4 Therefore it shall be, when you have crossed over the Jordan, that on Mount Ebal you shall set up these stones, which I command you today, and you shall whitewash them with lime. 5 And there you shall build an altar to the LORD your God, an altar of stones; you shall not use any iron tool on them. 6 You shall build with whole stones the altar of the LORD your God, and offer burnt offerings on it to the LORD your God. 7 You shall offer peace offerings, and shall eat there, and rejoice before the LORD your God. 8 And you shall write very plainly on the stones all the words of this law.” 9 Then Moses and the priests, the Levites, spoke to all Israel, saying, “Take heed and listen, O Israel: This day you have become the people of the LORD your God. 10 Therefore you shall obey the voice of the LORD your God, and observe his commandments and his statutes which I command you today.” 11 And Moses commanded the people on the same day, saying, 12 “These shall stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people, when you have crossed over the Jordan: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin; 13 and these shall stand on Mount Ebal to curse: Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali. 14 And the Levites shall speak with a loud voice and say to all the men of Israel: 15 ‘Cursed is the one who makes any carved or molded image, an abomination to the LORD, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and sets it up in secret.’ And all the people shall answer and say, ‘Amen!’ 16 ‘Cursed is the one who treats his father or his mother with contempt.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen!’ 17 ‘Cursed is the one who moves his neighbor’s landmark.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen!’ 18 ‘Cursed is the one who makes the blind to wander off the road.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen!’ 19 ‘Cursed is the one who perverts the justice due the stranger, the fatherless, and widow.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen!’ 20 ‘Cursed is the one who lies with his father’s wife, because he has uncovered his father’s bed.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen!’ 21 ‘Cursed is the one who lies with any kind of animal.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen!’ 22 ‘Cursed is the one who lies with his sister, the daughter of his father or the daughter of his mother.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen!’

Spomenik na Jordanu. Prokletstva

Onda je Mojsije sa starjeæinama Izraelovim zapovjedio narodu, govoreøi: “Izvræujte sve zapovijedi koje vam danas dajem! 2 Kad prijeåete preko Jordana u zemlju koju ti daje Gospodin, tvoj Bog, podigni sebi veliko kamenje, namaœi ga vapnom, 3 I napiæi na njemu, çim prijeåeæ prijeko, sve rijeçi toga zakona, da uåe u zemlju koju ti daje Gospodin, tvoj Bog, u zemlju u kojoj teçe mlijeko i med, kako ti je obeøao Gospodin, Bog tvojih otaca. 4 Kada, dakle, prijeåete preko Jordana, postavi to kamenje za koje sam vam danas dao uputu, na gori Ebalu, i namaœite ga vapnom! 5 Napravi ondje i œrtvenik u çast Gospodinu, svojem Bogu, œrtvenik od kamenja koje nisi klesao œeljezom. 6 Od neklesana kamenja podigni œrtvenik Gospodinu, svojem Bogu! Onda na njemu prinesi Gospodinu, svojem Bogu, œrtve paljenice. 7 Œrtvuj mirotvorne œrtve i drœi ondje œrtvenu gozbu, i veseli se pred Gospodinom, svojim Bogom. 8 Napiæi na to kamenje razgovijetno i pomno sve rijeçi toga zakona!” 9 Mojsije i levitski sveøenici govorili su svemu Izraelu, govoreøi: “Pazi i sluæaj, o Izraele danas si postao narod Gospodina, svojega Boga. 10 Sluæaj, glas Gospodina, svojega Boga, i drœi njegove zapovijedi i propise, koje ti danas dajem!” 11 Isti dan zapovjedio Mojsije narodu, govoreøi: 12 “Çim prijeåete preko Jordana, neka stanu jedni na gori Gerizimu da blagoslivljaju narod, naime: Simeon, Levi, Juda, Isakar, Josip i Benjamin. 13 Drugi neka stanu na gori Ebalu da proklinju: Ruben, Gad, Aæer, Zebulun, Dan i Naftali. 14 Leviti neka poçnu, i jakim glasom neka progovore svima Izraelcima: 15 ‘Proklet bio onaj tko napravi kip rezbaren ili liven, odurnost Gospodinu, djelo ruke umjetniçke, i postavi ga potajno!’ I sav narod neka odgovori: ‘Amen!’ 16 ‘Proklet bio onaj tko prezire svojega oca ili svoju majku!’ I sav narod neka odgovori: ‘Amen!’ 17 ‘Proklet bio onaj tko pomakne meåu svojega bliœnjega!’ I sav narod neka odgovori: ‘Amen!’ 18 ‘Proklet bio onaj tko zavede slijepca s puta!’ I sav narod neka odgovori: ‘Amen!’ 19 ‘Proklet bio onaj tko iskrivi pravicu doæljaku, siroti i udovici!’ I sav narod neka odgovori: ‘Amen!’ 20 ‘Proklet bio onaj tko sagrijeæi sa œenom svojega oca, jer pogrdi œenidbenu postelju svojega oca!’ I sav narod neka odgovori: ‘Amen!’ 21 ‘Proklet bio onaj tko sagrijeæi s kojim œivinçetom!’ I sav narod neka odgovori: ‘Amen!’ 22 ‘Proklet bio onaj tko sagrijeæi sa svojom sestrom, køerju svojega oca ili svoje majke!’ I sav narod neka odgovori: ‘Amen!’

28

Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God, to observe carefully all his commandments which I command you today, that the LORD your God will set you high above all nations of the earth. 2 And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the LORD your God: 3 Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the country. 4 Blessed shall be the fruit of your body, the produce of your ground and the increase of your herds, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks. 5 Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl. 6 Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out. 7 The LORD will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before your face; they shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways. 8 The LORD will command the blessing on you in your storehouses and in all to which you set your hand, and he will bless you in the land which the LORD your God is giving you. 9 The LORD will establish you as a holy people to himself, just as he has sworn to you, if you keep the commandments of the LORD your God and walk in his ways. 10 Then all peoples of the earth shall see that you are called by the name of the LORD, and they shall be afraid of you. 11 And the LORD will grant you plenty of goods, in the fruit of your body, in the increase of your livestock, and in the produce of your ground, in the land of which the LORD swore to your fathers to give you. 12 The LORD will open to you his good treasure, the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand. You shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow. 13 And the LORD will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you today, and are careful to observe them. 14 So you shall not turn aside from any of the words which I command you this day, to the right hand or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them. 15 But it shall come to pass, if you do not obey the voice of the LORD your God, to observe carefully all his commandments and his statutes which I command you today, that all these curses will come upon you and overtake you: 16 Cursed shall you be in the city, and cursed shall you be in the country. 17 Cursed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl. 18 Cursed shall be the fruit of your body and the produce of your land, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks.

On øe te blagosloviti u zemlji koju ti daje Gospodin, tvoj Bog. 9 Gospodin øe te uçiniti svojim svetim narodom, kako ti se zakleo, ako izvræujeæ zapovijedi Gospodina, svojega Boga, i ideæ njegovim putovima. 10 Svi narodi u zemlji vidjet øe da se s pravom zoveæ narodom Gospodinovim, i bojat øe se tebe. 11 A Gospodin øe te obasuti dobrima, plodom tvojega tijela, umnoœiti vam stoku i njive u zemlji, za koju se zakleo Gospodin tvojim oçevima da øe ti je dati. 12 Gospodin øe otvoriti svoju bogatu riznicu, nebesa, da tvojoj zemlji u pravo vrijeme dade kiæu i da blagoslovi svaki posao tvojih ruku. Onda øeæ davati u zajam mnogim narodima, a sam da neøeæ uzimati u zajam. 13 Gospodin øe te uçiniti glavom a ne repom. Ti øeæ biti samo gore a nikada dolje, ako sluæaæ zapovijedi Gospodina, svojega Boga, koje ti danas dajem, i toçno ih izvræujeæ. 14 Od svega æto ti zapovjedam danas, ne odstupaj ni nadesno ni nalijevo, pristajuøi za drugim bogovima i sluœeøi njima! 15 Ali øe se dogotiti, ako ne posluæaæ glas Gospodina, svojega Boga, i toçno ne drœiæ sve njegove zapovijedi i zakone, koje ti danas dajem, onda øe doøi na tebe sva ova prokletstva i stignut øe te: 16 Proklet øeæ biti u gradu, proklet øeæ biti u polju. 17 Prokleta øe biti tvoja œetvena koæara i tvoje naøve. 18 Proklet øe biti plod tvojega tijela, plod tvoje njive, mlado tvojih goveda i tvojih ovaca neøe se umnoœiti.

These are the words of the covenant which the LORD commanded Moses to make with the sons of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the covenant which he made with them in Horeb. 2 Now Moses called all Israel and said to them: “You have seen all that the LORD did before your eyes in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh and to all his servants and to all his land– 3 the great trials which your eyes have seen, the signs, and those great wonders. 4 Yet the LORD has not given you a heart to perceive and eyes to see and ears to hear, to this very day. 5 And I have led you forty years in the wilderness. Your clothes have not worn out on you, and your sandals have not worn out on your feet; 6 you have not eaten bread, nor have you drunk wine or similar drink; that you may know that I am the LORD your God. 7 And when you came to this place, Sihon king of Heshbon and Og king of Bashan came out against us to battle, and we conquered them. 8 We took their land and gave it as an inheritance to the Reubenites, to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh. 9 Therefore keep the words of this covenant, and do them, that you may prosper in all that you do. 10 All of you stand today before the LORD your God: your leaders and your tribes and your elders and your officers, all the men of Israel, 11 your little ones and your wives–also the stranger who is in your camp, from the one who cuts your wood to the one who draws your water– 12 that you may enter into covenant with the LORD your God, and into his oath, which the LORD your God makes with you today, 13 that he may establish you today as a people for himself, and that he may be God to you, just as he has spoken to you, and just as he has sworn to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 14 I make this covenant and this oath, not with you alone, 15 but also with him who stands here with us today before the LORD our God, as well as with him who is

Obnova zavjeta

To su rijeçi zavjeta, koje Mojsije, po zapovijedi Gospodinovoj, napravio sa Izraelovim sinovima u moapskoj zemlji, osim zavjeta koji je s njima uçinio na Horebu. 2 Mojsije je sazvao sav Izrael i rekao im: “Vidjeli ste sve æto je uçinio Gospodin pred vaæim oçima u zemlji Egipat faraonu, svim njegovim slugama i cijeloj njegovoj zemlji: 3 velike kuænje, koje su vidjele vaæe oçi, ona velika znamenja i çudesa. 4 Gospodin vam joæ do danas nije dao srce da spoznate, ni oçiju da vidite, ni uæiju da çujete. 5 Vodio sam vas çetrdeset godina po pustinji. Haljine na vaæem tijelu nisu se raspale i vaæa obuøa nije se izderala na vaæim nogama. 6 Kruha niste jeli i vina i jakoga piøa niste pili. Tako ste imali spoznati da sam ja Gospodin, vaæ Bog. 7 Kad ste doæli na ovo mjesto, izaæao je Sihon, kralj heæbonski, i Og, baæanski kralj, pred nas u boj, ali smo ih pobili. 8 Osvojili smo njihovu zemlju i dali smo ju u baætinu Rubenovcima, Gadovcima i polovici plemena Manasehova. 9 Zato drœite i izvræujte zapovijedi ovoga zavjeta, da bi imali uspjeh u svemu æto poduzimate! 10 Vi svi stojite danas pred Gospodinom, svojim Bogom: svojim glavarima, plemenima, starjeæinama i upraviteljima, svi Izraelovi ljudi, 11 vaæa djeca, vaæe œene, i doæljak koji je kod vas u taboru, i onaj koji vam sijeçe drva, i onaj, koji vam nosi vodu, 12 da stupite u zavjet s Gospodinom, svojim Bogom, i na zakletvom potvråeni ugovor, koji je zakljuçio danas s vama Gospodin, vaæ Bog. 13 Tako on danas hoøe da vas postavi za svoj narod i da bude vaæ Bog, kako vam je obeøao i kako se zakleo vaæim oçevima, Abrahamu, Izaku i Jakovu. 14 Ali ne sklapam samo s vama ja ovaj zavjet i ovaj zakletvom potvråeni ugovor, 15 nego s onima koji danas stoje ovdje s nama pred Gospodinom, Bogom naæim, i s onima koji

-251- Ponovljen Zakon Deuteronomy nisu danas ovdje nazoçni s nama. not here with us today 16 (for you know that we dwelt in the land of Egypt 16 A vi se joæ sjeøate kako smo prebivali u zemand that we came through the nations which you lji Egipat i kako smo iæli posred naroda kroz koje ste proæli. passed by, 17 and you saw their abominations and their idols 17 Vidjeli ste njihove gadne idole od drva i kawhich were among them–wood and stone and sil- mena, od srebra i zlata koje imaju. 18 Neka ne bude meåu vama çovjeka, ni œene, ver and gold); 18 so that there may not be among you man or ni obitelji, ni plemena, koji bi se danas odvratili woman or family or tribe, whose heart turns away od Gospodina, naæega Boga. Neka ne bude today from the LORD our God, to go and serve the meåu vama korijena na kojem bi rastao otrov i gods of these nations, and that there may not be pelin. among you a root bearing bitterness or wormwood; 19 Nitko, koji çuje rijeçi ove zakletve, neka ne 19 and so it may not happen, when he hears the obeøa sebi blagoslova i neka ne pomisli: ‘Bit øe words of this curse, that he blesses himself in his mi dobro, iako budem slijedio svoju vlastitu heart, saying, ‘I shall have peace, even though I walk volju.’ Tako bi se uniætilo natopljeno zajedno s in the imagination of my heart’–as though the drunk- osuæenim. 20 Takvomu neøe Gospodin nikada oprostiti, ard could be included with the sober. 20 The LORD would not spare him; for then the anger nego øe se, onda brzo raspaliti srdœba i jarost of the LORD and his jealousy would burn against that Gospodinova protiv njega. Sva prokletstva, man, and every curse that is written in this book koja su zapisana u ovoj knjizi, sruæit øe se na would settle on him, and the LORD would blot out his njega, i Gospodin øe izbrisati njegovo ime pod nebom. name from under heaven. 21 And the LORD would separate him from all the tribes 21 Gospodin øe ga odvojiti na propast iz svih of Israel for adversity, according to all the curses of Izraelovih plemena, po svim prokletstvima zathe covenant that are written in this book of the law, vjeta æto su zapisana u ovoj knjizi zakona. 22 so that the coming generation of your children 22 Buduøi naraætaji, vaæa djeca æto nastanu iza who rise up after you, and the foreigner who comes vas, i doæljak koji doåe iz daleke zemlje, reøi øe, from a far land, would say, when they see the plagues kad vidi zla i bolesti u ovoj zemlji kojima øe ih of that land and the sicknesses which the LORD has udariti Gospodin; 23 Sve njezino tlo jest mjesto sumporno, slano, laid on it: 23 The whole land is brimstone, salt, and burning; it opaljeno. Na njemu se ne moœe sijati i niæta ne is not sown, nor does it bear, nor does any grass niçe na njemu. Tu ne raste nikakva biljka. Tu je grow there, like the overthrow of Sodom and opustoæenje kao ono Sodome i Gomore, Adme Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the LORD i Seboima, koje je Gospodin sruæio u svojem gnjevu i u svojoj jarosti. overthrew in his anger and his wrath.’ 24 All nations would say, ‘Why has the LORD done so 24 Jest, svi øe narodi pitati: ‘Zaæto je Gospodin to this land? What does the heat of this great anger uçinio tako toj zemlji? Zaæto ta strahovita srdœba i jarost?’ mean?’ 25 Then men would say: ‘Because they have for- 25 Onda øe se odgovoriti, jer su prekræili zavjet saken the covenant of the LORD God of their fathers, Gospodina, Boga svojih otaca koji je on which he made with them when he brought them out napravio s njima kad ih izveo iz egipatske zemlje, of the land of Egypt; 26 for they went and served other gods and 26 i otiæli su sluœiti drugim bogovima i klanjati im worshiped them, gods that they did not know and se, bogovima koji su im bili nepoznati i koje im on nije bio odredio. that he had not given to them. 27 Then the anger of the LORD was aroused against 27 Zato se raspalila srdœba Gospodinova na tu this land, to bring on it every curse that is written in zemlju tako da pusti na nju sva prokletstva koja su zapisana u ovoj knjizi. this book. 28 And the LORD uprooted them from their land in 28 Zato ih je Gospodin u srdœbi i jarosti i u silanger, in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast nom ogorçenju odstranio iz njihove zemlje i izbacio ih u drugu zemlju, kako je danas. them into another land, as it is this day.’ 29 The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but 29 Tajne su stvari u Gospodina, naæega Boga. those things which are revealed belong to us and to Objavljene stvari za nas su i djecu naæu dovijeour children forever, that we may do all the words of ka, da izvræujemo sve zapovijedi ovoga zakona. this law.

Now it shall come to pass, when all these things come upon you, the blessing and the curse which I have set before you, and you call them to mind among all the nations where the LORD your God drives you, 2 and you return to the LORD your God and obey his voice, according to all that I command you today, you and your children, with all your heart and with all your soul, 3 that the LORD your God will bring you back from captivity, and have compassion on you, and gather you again from all the nations where the LORD your God has scattered you. 4 If any of you are driven out to the farthest parts under heaven, from there the LORD your God will gather you, and from there he will bring you.

Then Moses went and spoke these words to all Israel. 2 And he said to them: “I am one hundred and twenty years old today. I can no longer go out and come in. Also the LORD has said to me, ‘You shall not cross over this Jordan.’ 3 The LORD your God himself crosses over before you; he will destroy these nations from before you, and you shall dispossess them. Joshua himself crosses over before you, just as the LORD has said. 4 And the LORD will do to them as he did to Sihon and Og, the kings of the Amorites and their land, when he destroyed them. 5 The LORD will give them over to you, that you may do to them according to every commandment which

Joæua. Mojsijev nasljednik

Mojsije je otiæao i odrœao ovaj govor svemu Izraelu: 2 Rekao im: “Meni ima sada stotinu i dvadeset godina i ne mogu viæe odlaziti i dolaziti. A Gospodin mi je rekao: ‘Ne smijeæ prijeøi preko toga Jordana.’ 3 Gospodin, vaæ Bog, iøi øe pred vama prijeko. On øe rastjerati te narode ispred vas tako da mognete stupiti na njihovo mjesto.

On vas neøe ostaviti ni napustiti.” 7 Onda je Mojsije dozvao Joæuu i rekao mu u you.” 7 Then Moses called Joshua and said to him in the nazoçnosti svega Izraela: “Budi snaœan i hrasight of all Israel, “Be strong and of good courage, for bar, jer øeæ ti uøi s ovim narodom u zemlju za you must go with this people to the land which the koju se zakleo Gospodin njihovim oçevima da LORD has sworn to their fathers to give them, and you øe im ju dati.

“Give ear, O heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth. 2 Let my teaching drop as the rain, my speech distill as the dew, as raindrops on the tender herb, and as showers on the grass. 3 For I proclaim the name of the LORD: ascribe greatness to our God. 4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect; for all his ways are justice, a God of truth and without injustice; righteous and upright is he. 5 They have corrupted themselves; they are not his children, because of their blemish: a perverse and crooked generation. 6 Do you thus deal with the LORD, O foolish and unwise people? Is he not your Father, who bought you? Has he not made you and established you? 7 Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations. Ask your father, and he will show you; your elders, and they will tell you: 8 when the Most High divided their inheritance to the nations, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the boundaries of the peoples according to the number of the sons of Israel. 9 For the LORD’s portion is his people; Jacob is the place of his inheritance. 10 He found him in a desert land and in the wasteland, a howling wilderness; he encircled him, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye. 11 As an eagle stirs up its nest, hovers over its young, spreading out its wings, taking them up, carrying them on its wings, 12 so the LORD alone led him, and there was no foreign god with him. 13 He made him ride in the heights of the earth, that he might eat the produce of the fields; he made him to draw honey from the rock, and oil from the flinty rock; 14 curds from the cattle, and milk of the flock, with fat of lambs; and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the choicest wheat; and you drank wine, the blood of the grapes. 15 But Jeshurun grew fat and kicked; you grew fat, you grew thick, you are covered with fat; then he forsook God who made him, and scornfully esteemed the Rock of his salvation.

Pjesma Mojsijeva

“Sluæajte, nebesa, sad øu govoriti, o zemljo çuj rijeçi mojih usta! 2 Kao kiæa neka se spusti moj nauk, kao rosa neka pada rijeç moja, kao sitna kiæa na mladu travu, kao krupna kiæa na odraslu travu. 3 Glasno øu javljati slavu Gospodinovu: çast dajte naæem Bogu! 4 Hridina je, savræeno je njegovo djelo. Svi su njegovi putovi pravica, Bog je vjeran, bez krivnje, pravedan i istinit. 5 Ali su grdno sagrijeæili protiv njega nevaljali njegovi sinovi: rod zao i opak. 6 Tako li vraøate Gospodinu, narode ludi i bezumni! Nije li on tvoj Otac, koji te otkupio, tvoj Stvoritelj, koji te napravio i utvrdio? 7 Spomeni se nekadaænjih dana; pomisli na godine kroz sve vaæe naraætaje! Pitaj svojega oca; on øe ti reøi, svoje starce; oni øe ti pripovijediti. 8 Kada je Sveviænji dijelio narodima posjede, kada je dijelio çovjeçje sinove, onda je postavio granice narodima po broju Izraelovih sinova. 9 Jer je dio Gospodinov njegov narod, Jakov je njemu odmjerena baætina. 10 Naåe ga u zemlji pustari, u pustinji, gdje buçi samoøa. Ogradio ga, ætitio, çuvao ga kao zjenicu svojega oka. 11 Kao æto se orao, koji straœari nad svojim gnijezdom, uzdiœe iznad svojih ptiøa, rasprostire krila, uzima ih i nosi svojim jakim krilima. 12 Tako ga je vodio Gospodin jedini, i nije bilo s njim stranoga boga. 13 Vodio ga je na visine zemlje, i jeo je poljske plodove. Davao mu je da siæe med iz kamena, ulje iz tvrda kremena. 14 Maslo krava, mlijeko ovaca, pretilinu janjaca i ovnova, od baæanskh volova i jaraca, i srce od najslaåe pæenice, i pio krv od groœåa i vino s iskrama. 15 Ali se Jeæurun ugojio, pa se poçeo ritati; utovio se, udebljao i zasalio, pa odbacio Boga, koji ga je stvorio, i prezreo Hrid svojega spasenja.

Now this is the blessing with which Moses the man of God blessed the sons of Israel before his death. 2 And he said: “The LORD came from Sinai, and dawned on them from Seir; he shone forth from Mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints; from his right hand came a fiery law for them. 3 Yes, he loves the people; all his saints are in your hand; they sit down at your feet; everyone receives your words. 4 Moses commanded a law for us, a heritage of the congregation of Jacob. 5 And he was King in Jeshurun, when the leaders of the people were gathered, all the tribes of Israel together. 6 Let Reuben live, and not die, nor let his men be few.” 7 And this he said of Judah: “Hear, LORD, the voice of Judah, and bring him to his people; let his hands be sufficient for him, and may you be a help against his enemies.” 8 And of Levi he said: “Let your Thummim and your Urim be with your holy one, whom you tested at Massah, and with whom you contended at the waters of Meribah, 9 who says of his father and mother, ‘I have not seen them’; nor did he acknowledge his brothers, Or know his own children; for they have observed your word and kept your covenant. 10 They shall teach Jacob your judgments, and Israel your law. They shall put incense before you, and a whole burnt sacrifice on your altar. 11 Bless his substance, LORD, and accept the work

Mojsijev posljednji blagoslov

Ovo je blagoslov koji je pred svoju smrt podijelio Izraelovim sinovima Mojsije, Boœji çovjek. 2 On je rekao: “Sa Sinaja doæao je Gospodin, u svjetlu se ukazao sa Seira narodu, zasjao s gore Paran, doæao usred deset tisuøa svetih anåela, iz desnice njegove doæao im zakon. 3 On ljubi svoj narod.

Njegove su se ruke borile za njega. Budi mu obrana protiv njegovih tlaçitelja!” 8 O Leviju je rekao: “Tvoj Tumim i tvoj Urim u çovjeka su koji se posvetio tebi. Njega si iskuæao kod Mase, s njim se prepirao kod vode Meribe, 9 s njim koji je rekao o svojem ocu i majci: Ne poznajem onoga, koji nije gledao na svoju braøu i nije viæe znao za svojju djecu.

Then Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, which is across from Jericho. And the LORD showed him all the land of Gilead as far as Dan, 2 all Naphtali and the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah as far as the Western Sea, 3 the South, and the plain of the Valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees, as far as Zoar. 4 Then the LORD said to him, “This is the land of which I swore to give Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, ‘I will give it to your descendants.’ I have caused you to see it with your eyes, but you shall not cross over there.”

Mojsije je uzaæao iz Moapskih poljana na Nebo, na vrh Pisge, koji je nasuprot Jerihonu. Gospodin mu pokazao svu zemlju Gilead do Dana, 2 sav Naftali i pokrajinu Efraimovu i Manasehovu, svu pokrajinu Judinu do Zapadnoga mora, 3 Negeb i nizinu jordansku, ravnicu Palmova grada Jerihona do Zoara. 4 Onda mu rekao Gospodin: “Ovo je zemlja za koju sam se zakleo Abrahamu, Izaku i Jakovu: ‘Tvojim potomcima dat øu je.’ Dao sam ti da je vidiæ svojim oçima, ali u nju neøeæ uøi!”

Joshua THE BOOK OF JOSUA

After the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, it came to pass that the LORD spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ assistant, 2 “Moses my servant is dead. Now therefore, arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them–the sons of Israel. 3 Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you, as I said to Moses. 4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon as far as the great river, the River Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and to the Great Sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your territory. 5 No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you. 6 Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them. 7 Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses my servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go. 8 This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.” 10 Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying, 11 Pass through the camp and command the people, saying, ‘Prepare provisions for yourselves, for within three days you will cross over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land which the LORD your God is giving you to possess.’ ” 12 And to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh Joshua spoke, saying,

Pred prijelazom preko Jordana

Poslije smrti Mojsija, sluge Gospodinova, govorio je ondje Gospodin Joæui, sinu Nunovu, sluzi Mojsijevu, govoreøi: 2 “Moj sluga Mojsije je mrtav; zato sad ustani, poåi ondje preko Jordana, ti i sav taj narod, u zemlju koju dajem njima, Izraelovim sinovima. 3 Svako mjesto na koje stupi vaæa noga, dajem vam, kako sam obeøao Mojsiju. 4 Od pustinje i ondje od Lebanona do velike rijeke Eufrata, sva zemlja Hitejaca, do Velikoga mora na zapadu, bit øe vaæe podruçje. 5 Nitko se neøe moøi odrœati pred tobom sve dane tvojega œivota. Kako sam bio s Mojsijem, tako øu biti i s tobom. Neøu te ostaviti ni napustiti. 6 Budi jak i pun hrabrosti, jer ti øeæ tomu narodu dati u baætinu zemlju za koju sam se zakleo njihovim oçevima da øu im ju dati. 7 Samo budi snaœan i vrlo hrabar, da briœno drœiæ sve po zakonu koji ti je zapovjedio moj sluga Mojsije. Ne odstupaj od njega ni nadesno ni nalijevo da bi mogao uspjeti u svemu æto poduzmeæ. 8 Imaj uvijek ovu knjigu zakona u svojim ustima i razmiæljaj o njoj dan i noø, da briœno drœiæ sve æto je u njoj napisano, jer onda øeæ imati sreøu i uspjeh u svim svojim pothvatima. 9 Nisam li ti zapovjedio? Budi jak i hrabar, ne boj se i ne strahuj, jer Gospodin, tvoj Bog, s tobom je u svemu gdje god ideæ.” 10 Onda je Joæua zapovjedio upraviteljima naroda, govoreøi: 11 “Proåite kroz tabor i dajte narodu ovu zapovijed: ‘Spremite sebi braænjenice, jer za tri dana poøi øete ondje preko Jordana i poçet øete osvajati zemlju koju vam Gospodin, vaæ Bog, daje u baætinu.’ ” 12 A Rubenovcima, Gadovcima i polovici plemena Manasehova rekao je Joæua:

And it happened, when all the people had completely crossed over the Jordan, that the LORD spoke to Joshua, saying: 2 “Take for yourselves twelve men from the people, one man from every tribe, 3 and command them, saying, ‘Take for yourselves twelve stones from here, out of the midst of the Jordan, from the place where the priests’ feet stood firm. You shall carry them over with you and leave them in the lodging place where you lodge tonight.’ ” 4 Then Joshua called the twelve men whom he had appointed from the sons of Israel, one man from every tribe; 5 and Joshua said to them: “Cross over before the Ark of the LORD your God into the midst of the Jordan, and each one of you take up a stone on his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel, 6 that this may be a sign among you when your children ask in time to come, saying, ‘What do these stones mean to you?’ 7 Then you shall answer them that the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the Ark of the covenant of the LORD; when it crossed over the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. And these stones shall be for a memorial to the sons of Israel forever.” 8 And the sons of Israel did so, just as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones from the midst of the Jordan, as the LORD had spoken to Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel, and carried them over with them to the place where they lodged, and laid them down there. 9 Then Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst of the Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests who bore the Ark of the covenant stood; and they are there to this day. 10 So the priests who bore the Ark stood in the midst of the Jordan until everything was finished that the LORD had commanded Joshua to speak to the peo-

Kamenovi za spomen na prijelaz preko Jordana

I dogodilo se, kad je sav narod potpuno preæao preko Jordana, Gospodin je rekao Joæui, govoreøi: 2 “Izaberite sebi izmeåu naroda dvanaest ljudi, od svakoga plemena po jednoga çovjeka, 3 i zapovjedite ovako: ‘Uzmite odande, iz sredine Jordana, s mjesta gdje su stajale noge sveøenika dvanaest kamenova, ponesite ih sobom i stavite ih u taboriæte gdje øete noøas prenoøiti!’” 4 Onda je pozvao Joæua dvanaest ljudi koje je odredio izmeåu Izraelovih sinova, iz svakoga plemena po jednoga çovjeka, 5 i Joæua im rekao: “Preåite ondje pred ækrinjom Gospodina, svojega Boga, u sredinu Jordana, i uzmite svaki sebi po jedan kamen na rame, prema broju Izraelovih plemena, 6 da to bude za spomen meåu vama. Ako vas vaæa djeca u buduønosti upitaju govoreøi: ‘Æto vam znaçe ovi kamenovi?’ 7 Onda øete im odgovoriti da je voda Jordana prestala teøi pred ækrinjom Gospodinova zavjeta, kad je prelazila preko Jordana, voda Jordana je prestala teøi. A ovi kamenovi neka budu Izraelovim sinovima vjeçni spomen.” 8 Izraelovi sinovi su uçinili tako upravo kako im je zapovjedio Joæua. Uzeli su dvanaest kamenova iz sredine Jordana, kako je Gospodin rekao Joæui, prema broju Izraelovih plemena, donijeli su ih sobom u taboriæte i ondje ih stavili. 9 A dvanaest drugih kamenova postavio je Joæua usred Jordana, na mjesto gdje su bile stajale noge sveøenika koji su nosili Zavjetnu ækrinju. Oni se joæ nalaze ondje do danaænjega dana. 10 A sveøenici, koji su nosili ækrinju, bili su ostali stojeøi usred Jordana, dok se nije svræilo sve æto je Gospodin zapovjedio Joæui da objavi narodu æto je Mojsije zapovjedio Joæui; a narod je

So it was, when all the kings of the Amorites who were on the west side of the Jordan, and all the kings of the Canaanites who were by the sea, heard that the LORD had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the sons of Israel until we had crossed over, that their heart melted; and there was no spirit in them any longer because of the sons of Israel. 2 At that time the LORD said to Joshua, “Make flint knives for yourself, and circumcise the sons of Israel again the second time.” 3 So Joshua made flint knives for himself, and circumcised the sons of Israel at the hill of the foreskins. 4 And this is the reason why Joshua circumcised them: All the people who came out of Egypt who were males, all the men of war, had died in the wilderness on the way, after they had come out of Egypt. 5 For all the people who came out had been circumcised, but all the people who were born in the wilderness on the way as they came out of Egypt had not been circumcised. 6 For the sons of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people who were men of war, who came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they did not obey the voice of the LORD–to whom the LORD swore that he would not show them the land which the LORD had sworn to their fathers that he would give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.

Prva Pasha u Kanaanu

Tako je bilo, kad su svi kraljevi Amorejaca, koji su s onu stranu Jordana na zapadu i svi kraljevi Kanaanaca na moru, çuli da je Gospodin osuæio vodu Jordana ispred Izraelovih sinova, dok nisu proæli, klonulo im posve srce i izgubili su svu srçanost pred Izraelovim sinovima. 2 U ono vrijeme rekao je Gospodin Joæui: “Napravi kamene noœeve i obreœi po drugi put Izraelove sinove!” 3 I napravio je sebi Joæua kamene noœeve i obrezao Izraelove sinove kod breœuljka prednjih koœica. 4 A uzrok zaæto ih obrezao Joæua, bio je ovaj: svi ljudi koji su bili izaæli iz Egipta, muækarci i svi ratnici, bili su iza svojega izlaska iz Egipta pomrli na putu u pustinji. 5 Jer svi ljudi koji su izaæli bili su obrezani, ali svi ljudi koji su se rodili putujuøi kroz pustinju, po izlasku iz Egipta, nisu bili obrezani. 6 Jer çetrdeset godina iæli su Izraelovi sinovi po pustinji dok nisu pomrli svi ratnici koji su izaæli iz Egipta, jer nisu posluæali zapovijedi Gospodinovih, kojima se zakleo Gospodin da im neøe dati vidjeti zemlju koju je nama htio dati, kako je Gospodin pod zakletvom obeøao njihovim oçevima, zemlju u kojoj teçe mlijeko i med.

Joæua.

Now Jericho was securely shut up because of the sons of Israel; none went out, and none came in. 2 And the LORD said to Joshua: “See! I have given Jericho into your hand, its king, and the mighty men of valor. 3 You shall march around the city, all you men of war; you shall go all around the city once. This you shall do six days. 4 And seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the Ark. But the seventh day you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets. 5 Then it shall come to pass, when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, that all the people shall shout with a great shout; then the wall of the city will fall down flat. And the people shall go up every man straight before him.” 6 So Joshua the son of Nun called the priests and said to them, “Take up the Ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the Ark of the LORD.” 7 And he said to the people, “Proceed, and march around the city, and let him who is armed advance before the Ark of the LORD.” 8 So it was, when Joshua had spoken to the people, that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the LORD advanced and blew the trumpets, and the Ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them. 9 The armed men went before the priests who blew the trumpets, and the rear guard came after the Ark, while the priests continued blowing the trumpets. 10 Now Joshua had commanded the people, saying, “You shall not shout or make any noise with your voice, nor shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I say to you, ‘Shout!’ Then you shall shout.” 11 So he had the Ark of the LORD circle the city, going

Osvajanje i razaranje grada Jerihona

Jerihon je imao zatvorena vrata i ostao je zatvoren zbog Izraelovih sinova; nitko nije mogao iziøi van ni uøi unutra. 2 Onda je rekao Gospodin Joæui: “Evo, dajem ti u ruke Jerihon, njegova kralja i ratne junake. 3 Vi øete svi obiøi oko grada, vi svi ratnici; obiåite okolo grada jedanput! Tako çinite æest dana! 4 A sedam sveøenika neka nosi sedam truba od ovnujskih rogova pred ækrinjom! A sedmi dan obiåite oko grada sedam puta, i sveøenici neka pritom trube u trube! 5 Onda øe se dogoditi, da kad zatrube u ovnujski rog dugim glasom, neka sav narod, çim çujete glas trube, podigne iza glasa veliku viku; onda øe se gradski zidovi sruæiti na tlo. Narod neka onda uzaåe, svaki s mjesta gdje stoji ravno naprijed!” 6 Joæua, sin Nunov, pozvao je sveøenike i rekao im: “Dignite Zavjetnu ækrinju, a sedam sveøenika neka nosi sedam truba od ovnujskih rogova pred Gospodinovom ækrinjom!” 7 A narodu je rekao: “Idite i koraçajte oko grada, i to ratnici neka idu pred Gospodinovom ækrinjom!” 8 I kad je Joæua bio to izgovorio narodu, poælo je sedam sveøenika noseøi pred Gospodinom sedam truba od ovnujskih rogova zatrubili su u trube, dok je ækrinja Gospodinova zavjeta iæla za njima. 9 Ratnici su krenuli pred sveøenicima koji su trubili u trube, a zaleåe je poælo za ækrinjom, dok su sveøenici stalno trubili u trube. 10 Onda je Joæua rekao narodu, govoreøi: “Vi ne smijete podiøi viku i nemojte da vam se çuje glas, i nijedna rijeç ne smije iziøi iz vaæih usta dok vam ja ne reknem: ‘Viçite!’ Onda podignite viku!” 11 Tako je pustio da Gospodinova ækrinja

And it happened when the people heard 20 Tako je narod podigao viku kad su sveøenici the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted zatrubili u trube. I dogodilo se da kad je narod with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat. Then zaçuo glas truba i podigao viku iz svega glasa, the people went up into the city, every man straight da su se sruæili zidovi na tlo. Onda je narod uzaæao u grad, svaki je iæao s mjesta gdje je stajao before him, and they took the city. 21 And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, ravno naprijed, i zauzeli su grad. both man and woman, young and old, ox and sheep 21 Onda su oætricom maça uniætili sve æto se nalazilo u gradu, oboje muœeve i œene, mlade i and donkey, with the edge of the sword. 22 But Joshua had said to the two men who had spied stare, goveda, ovce i magarce. out the country, “Go into the harlot’s house, and from 22 A Joæua je rekao onoj dvojici ljudi, koji su bili there bring out the woman and all that she has, as uhodili zemlju: “Idite u kuøu bludnice i izvedite odande œenu i sve æto ima, kao æto ste joj se zayou swore to her.” 23 And the young men who had been spies went in kleli!” and brought out Rahab, her father, her mother, her 23 I mladi ljudi, koji su bili uhode, otiæli su i izveli brothers, and all that she had.

But the sons of Israel committed a trespass regarding the accursed things, for Achan the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed things; so the anger of the LORD burned against the sons of Israel.

Ahabova kraåa

Ali su Izraelovi sinovi poçinili prijestup, jer su sebi prisvojili ono æto je zakleto, jer je Akan, sin Karmija, sina Zabdijeva, sina Zerahova, od plemena Judina, uzeo sebi neæto od zakletoga. Zato se raspalila srdœba Gospodinova protiv Izraelovih sinova.

-265Joshua Joæua 2 Now Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is 2 Nato je Joæua poslao neke ljude iz Jerihona u beside Beth Aven, on the east side of Bethel, and Aj kod Bet-Avena, istoçno od Betela, i rekao im, spoke to them, saying, “Go up and spy out the coun- govoreøi: “Idite gore i uhodite zemlju!” Ljudi su otiæli gore i uhodili su Aj. try.” So the men went up and spied out Ai. 3 And they returned to Joshua and said to him, “Do 3 Kad su se vratili k Joæui, rekli su mu: “Ne treba not let all the people go up, but let about two or three iøi gore sav narod, samo dvije tisuøe do tri tisthousand men go up and attack Ai.

Oh, nas uniæte? O, da smo radije ostali s onu stranu that we had been content, and dwelt on the other Jordana. 8 Ah, Gospodine æto da kaœem kad je Izrael side of the Jordan! 8 O LORD, what shall I say when Israel turns its back okrene leåa pred svojim neprijateljima. 9 Kanaanci i svi stanovnici zemlje to øe çuti; oni before its enemies? 9 For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the øe nas opkoliti, navaliti na nas i iskorijenit øe land will hear of it, and surround us, and cut off our ime naæe sa zemlje.

Why do you tako leœiæ na svojem licu? 11 Izrael je sagrijeæio; prestupili su moju zalie thus on your face? 11 Israel has sinned, and they have also trans- branu koju sam im dao.

Joshua

-266Joæua 20 And Achan answered Joshua and said, “Indeed I 20 Akan je odgovorio Joæui: “Jest, ja sam sagrihave sinned against the LORD God of Israel, and this jeæio Gospodinu, Bogu Izraelovu, i uçinio sam ovo: is what I have done: 21 When I saw among the spoils a beautiful 21 Kad sam vidio meåu plijenom lijepu babilonBabylonian garment, two hundred shekels of silver, sku haljinu, dvjesta æekela srebra i zlatnu and a wedge of gold weighing fifty shekels, I coveted æipku, pedeset æekela teæku, ja sam se polathem and took them.

To je zakopano u zemlji usred the earth in the midst of my tent, with the silver under mojega æatora, sa srebrom odozdol.” 22 Joæua je poslao poslanike ondje, i oni su it.” 22 So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the otrçali u æator, i zaista bile su stvari zakopane u tent; and there it was, hidden in his tent, with the sil- æatoru i odozdol srebro. 23 Uzeli su to iz sredine æatora, donijeli Joæui i ver under it. 23 And they took them from the midst of the tent, svim Izraelovim sinovima i stavili pred Gospobrought them to Joshua and to all the sons of Israel, dina. 24 Onda je Joæua, i sav Izrael, uzeo Akana, and laid them out before the LORD. 24 Then Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan sina Zerahova, i srebro, haljinu i zlatnu æipku, the son of Zerah, the silver, the garment, the wedge njegove sinove, njegove køeri, njegova goof gold, his sons, his daughters, his oxen, his don- veda, njegove magarce, njegove ovce, njegov keys, his sheep, his tent, and all that he had, and æator i sve æto je posjedovao, i izveli ih u Dolinu Akor. they brought them to the Valley of Achor. 25 And Joshua said, “Why have you troubled us? 25 I Joæua je rekao: “Zaæto si nas unesreøio? The LORD will trouble you this day.” So all Israel Gospodin øe tebe danas unesreøiti.” Onda su stoned him with stones; and they burned them with ga kamenovali svi Izraelovi sinovi i ognjem ih spalili nakon kamenovanja. fire after they had stoned them with stones. 26 Then they raised over him a great heap of stones, 26 Podigli su nad njim veliku hrpu kamenja æto still there to this day.

Then the LORD said to Joshua: “Do not be afraid, nor be dismayed; take all the people of war with you, and arise, go up to Ai. See, I have given into your hand the king of Ai, his people, his city, and his land. 2 And you shall do to Ai and its king as you did to Jericho and its king. Only its spoil and its cattle you shall take as booty for yourselves. Lay an ambush for the city behind it.” 3 So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up against Ai; and Joshua chose thirty thousand mighty men of valor and sent them away by night. 4 And he commanded them, saying: “Behold, you shall lie in ambush against the city, behind the city. Do not go very far from the city, but all of you be ready. 5 Then I and all the people who are with me will approach the city; and it will come about, when they come out against us as at the first, that we shall flee before them. 6 For they will come out after us till we have drawn them from the city, for they will say, ‘They are fleeing before us as at the first.’ Therefore we will flee before them. 7 Then you shall rise from the ambush and seize the city, for the LORD your God will deliver it into your hand. 8 And it will be, when you have taken the city, that you shall set the city on fire. According to the commandment of the LORD you shall do. See, I have commanded you.” 9 Joshua therefore sent them out; and they went to lie in ambush, and stayed between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of Ai; but Joshua lodged that night among the people. 10 Then Joshua rose up early in the morning and mustered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai. 11 And all the people of war who were with him went up and drew near; and they came before the city and camped on the north side of Ai. Now there was a valley between them and Ai. 12 So he took about five thousand men and set them in ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of the city.

Izraelci osvajaju grad Aj. Obnova zavjeta

Tada je Gospodin rekao Joæui: “Ne boj se i nemoj se smesti! Ustani i uzmi sobom sav narod koji je za boj, pa ustani i idi na Aj! Evo, predajem ti u ruke ajskoga kralja s njegovim narodom, njegovim gradom i njegovom zemljom. 2 Uçini s Ajem i kraljem njegovim kako si uçinio s Jerihonom i njegovim kraljem! Ipak plijen i stoku smijete uzeti za sebe. Namjesti zasjedu gradu iza tebe!” 3 Tako je ustao Joæua sa svim ljudima za boj da idu na Aj; i izabrao je Joæua trideset tisuøa hrabrih junaka, i poslao ih noøu. 4 I zapovjedio im, govoreøi: “Pazite, vi se imate namjestiti u zasjedu iza grada. Ne smijete se odviæe udaljivati od grada i budite svi spremni! 5 Onda øu se ja sa svim ljudima koji su kod mene primaknuti gradu, i ako oni onda kao prvi put izaåu protiv nas, mi øemo bjeœati pred njima. 6 Jer øe oni izaøi za nama tako daleko dok ih odvojimo od grada, jer oni øe misliti: ‘Bjeœe pred nama kao prvi put.’ Zato øemo bjeœati pred njima. 7 Onda vi ustanite iz zasjede i zauzmite grad, jer øe vam ga Gospodin, vaæ Bog, dati u ruke. 8 Kad zauzmete grad, zapalite ga, i uçinite po zapovijedi Gospodinovoj! Pazite, to vam je moja zapovijed!” 9 Nato ih je Joæua otpustio, i oni su otiæli i smjestili se u zasjedu, i stajali su izmeåu Betela i Aja, zapadno od Aja; a Joæua je prenoøio onu noø meåu ljudima. 10 Onda sutradan rano obiæao je Joæua ljude i poæao s Izraelovim starjeæinama na çelu ratnika protiv Aja. 11 Svi ljudi za boj koji su bili kod njega, poçeli se primicati i doæli do pred grad. Utaborili se sjeverno od Aja. Tako da je leœala dolina izmeåu njih i Aja. 12 Tako je on uzeo oko pet tisuøa ljudi i namjestio ih u zasjedu izmeåu Betela i Aja, zapadno od grada.

-267Joshua Joæua 13 And when they had set the people, all the army 13 A kad su namjestili narod, sva vojska koja je that was on the north of the city, and its rear guard on bila gradu sa sjevera, i njihovo zaleåe æto je bilo the west of the city, Joshua went that night into the sa zapada gradu, Joæua je onu noø poæao posred doline. midst of the valley. 14 Now it happened, when the king of Ai saw it, that 14 A kad je to vidio Ajski kralj, da su ljudi grada, the men of the city hastened and rose early and went uranili i poæli protiv Izraela u boj, on i sav njegov out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at narod su izaæli na dogovoreno mjesto kod puan appointed place before the plain. But he did not stinje. A on nije znao da mu je bila namjeætena know that there was an ambush against him behind zasjeda iza grada. 15 A Joæua i svi Izraelovi sinovi su uçinili tako the city. 15 And Joshua and all Israel made as if they were kao da bi bili od njih potuçeni, i nagnuli bjeœati beaten before them, and fled by the way of the wil- prema pustinji. 16 Tako je bio sazvan sav narod koji je bio u Aju derness. 16 So all the people who were in Ai were called to- da ih tjera.

And they pursued Joshua viæe odvajali od grada. 17 Nije ostao nitko u Aju i Betelu da nije poæao u and were drawn away from the city. 17 There was not a man left in Ai or Bethel who did potjeru za Izraelovim sinovima, a grad su stavili not go out after Israel. So they left the city open and otvoren dok su tjerali Izraelove sinove. 18 Onda je rekao Gospodin Joæui: “Digni koplje pursued Israel. 18 Then the LORD said to Joshua, “Stretch out the æto ti je u ruci protiv Aja, jer ti ga dajem u ruke.” spear that is in your hand toward Ai, for I will give it I Joæua je podigao koplje æto mu je bilo u ruci, into your hand.” And Joshua stretched out the spear protiv Aja. 19 Tako se zasjeda brzo podignula sa svojega that he had in his hand toward the city. 19 So those in ambush arose quickly out of their mjesta i potrçala çim je Joæua bio podigao ruku, place; they ran as soon as he had stretched out his i uæla u grad, zauzela ga i odmah zapalila hand, and they entered the city and took it, and has- grad. 20 I kad su se Ajani obazreli, vidjeli su kako se tened to set the city on fire. 20 And when the men of Ai looked behind them, they dim iz grada diœe prema nebu.

So they had no power to flee this way or that tiv progonitelja vojska, koja je bjeœala prema way, and the people who had fled to the wilderness pustinji. 21 A kad su vidjeli Joæua i sav Izrael da je zasturned back on the pursuers. 21 Now when Joshua and all Israel saw that the am- jeda zauzela grad i da se diœe dim iz grada, bush had taken the city and that the smoke of the city okrenuli se i udarili na Ajane. ascended, they turned back and struck down the 22 Onda su drugi iz grada izaæli pred njih, tako da su se naæli meåu Izraelovim sinovima, jer men of Ai. 22 Then the others came out of the city against them; jedni su doæli s jedne strane, a drugi s druge so they were caught in the midst of Israel, some on strane.

And it happened when all the kings who were on this side of the Jordan, in the hills and in the lowland and in all the coasts of the Great Sea toward Lebanon–the Hittite, the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite–heard of it, 2 that they gathered together to fight with Joshua and Israel with one accord. 3 But when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done to Jericho and Ai, 4 they worked craftily, and went and pretended to be ambassadors. And they took old sacks on their donkeys, old wineskins torn and mended, 5 old and patched sandals on their feet, and old garments on themselves; and all the bread of their provision was dry and moldy. 6 And they went to Joshua, to the camp at Gilgal, and said to him and to the men of Israel, “We have come from a far country; now therefore, make a covenant with us.” 7 But the men of Israel said to the Hivites, “Perhaps you dwell among us; so how can we make a covenant with you?” 8 And they said to Joshua, “We are your servants.” And Joshua said to them, “Who are you, and where do you come from?” 9 So they said to him: “From a very far country your servants have come, because of the name of the LORD your God; for we have heard of his fame, and all that he did in Egypt, 10 and all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan–to Sihon king of Heshbon, and Og king of Bashan, who was at Ashtaroth. 11 Therefore our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spoke to us, saying, ‘Take provisions with you for the journey, and go to meet them, and say to them, “We are your servants; now therefore, make a covenant with us.’ 12 This bread of ours we took hot for our provision from our houses on the day we departed to come to you. But now look, it is dry and moldy. 13 And these wineskins which we filled were new, and see, they are torn; and these our garments and our sandals have become old because of the very long journey.” 14 Then the men of Israel took some of their provisions; but they did not ask counsel of the LORD. 15 So Joshua made peace with them, and made a covenant with them to let them live; and the rulers of the congregation swore to them. 16 And it happened at the end of three days, after they had made a covenant with them, that they heard that they were their neighbors who dwelt near them.

Prijevara Gibeonaca

A dogodilo se da kad su to çuli svi kraljevi koji su prebivali s ove strane Jordana na brdima i u nizinama i na svim obalama Velikoga mora sve do Lebanona: Hitejci, Amorejci, Kanaanci, Perizejci, Hivejci i Jebusejci, 2 skupili se da se sloœno bore protiv Joæue i Izraelaca. 3 A stanovnici Gibeona kad su çuli kako je Joæua uçinio s Jerihonom i Ajem, 4 dali se prijevarom na posao, iæli su i pretvarali se kao da su poslanici. Uzeli su stare vreøe za svoje magarce i stare, poderane i pokrpane vinske mjeæine. 5 Obuli su na svoje noge staru pokrpanu obuøu i iznoæene haljine i ponijeli sobom na put kruh osuæen i pljesnjiv. 6 I otiæli su k Joæui, u tabor u Gilgal, i rekli njemu i Izraelovom narodu: “Doæli smo iz daleke zemlje, zato sada zakljuçite s nama ugovor.” 7 Onda su Izraelovi ljudi izjavili Hivejcima: “Moœe biti da prebivate meåu nama; kako da onda zakljuçimo ugovor s vama?” 8 Oni su govorili Joæui: “Mi smo tvoje sluge.” Kad ih je Joæua upitao: “Tko ste i odakle dolazite?” 9 Odgovorili mu: “Iz zemlje vrlo daleke doæle su tvoje sluge zbog slave Gospodina, tvojega Boga, jer smo çuli glas o njemu i sve æto je uçinio u Egiptu; 10 i sve æto je uçinio dvojici kraljeva amorejskih s onu stranu Jordana, Sihonu, heæbonskom kralju, i Ogu, baæanskom kralju u Aætarotu. 11 Onda su nam rekle starjeæine naæe i svi stanovnici zemlje: ‘Uzmite sebi hrane za put, idite im u susret i recite im: ’Mi smo vaæe sluge, zakljuçite ugovor s nama!’ 12 Ovo je naæ kruh, bio je joæ vruø kad smo ga od kuøe uzeli sobom za put, u dan kad smo izaæli da doåemo k vama.

I zakleli su im se poglavari zajednice. 16 I dogodilo se nakon tri dana zakljuçenja ugovora s njima, spoznali su da su iz blizine i da prebivaju u njihovoj blizini.

Now it happened when Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem heard how Joshua had taken Ai and had utterly destroyed it–as he had done to Jericho and its king, so he had done to Ai and its king–and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and were among them, 2 that they feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, like one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all its men were mighty. 3 Therefore Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem sent to Hoham king of Hebron, Piram king of Jarmuth, Japhia king of Lachish, and Debir king of Eglon, saying, 4 Come up to me and help me, that we may attack Gibeon, for it has made peace with Joshua and with the sons of Israel.” 5 Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon, gathered together and went up, they and all their armies, and camped before Gibeon and made war against it. 6 And the men of Gibeon sent to Joshua at the camp at Gilgal, saying, “Do not forsake your servants; come up to us quickly, save us and help us, for all the kings of the Amorites who dwell in the mountains have gathered together against us.” 7 So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valor. 8 And the LORD said to Joshua, “Do not fear them, for I have delivered them into your hand; not a man of them shall stand before you.” 9 Joshua therefore came upon them suddenly, hav-

Nato se dogodilo, kad je Adoni-Zedek, jeruzalemski kralj, saznao kako je Joæua osvojio Aj i potpuno ga uniætio, i kako je uçinio s Jerihonom i njegovim kraljem, tako je uçinio i s Ajem i njegovim kraljem, i da su stanovnici Gibeona zakljuçili mir s Izraelom i ostali meåu njima; 2 da su se vrlo bojali, jer je Gibeon bio velik grad, kao kakav kraljevski grad, i bio je veøi od Aja, a svi su njegovi ljudi bili hrabri. 3 Zato je poruçio Adoni-Zedek, jeruzalemski kralj, Hohamu, hebronskom kralju, Piramu, jarmutskom kralju, Jafiji, lakiækom kralju, i Debiru, eglonskom kralju: 4 “Doåite k meni i pomozite mi da porazimo Gibeon, jer je napravio mir s Joæuom i sa Izraelovim sinovima!” 5 Stoga pet amorejskih kraljeva, jeruzalemski kralj, hebronski kralj, jarmutski kralj, lakiæki kralj, eglonski kralj, skupili se i poæli gore sa svim svojim vojskama, i utaborili se ispred Gibeona i napali ga. 6 A Gibeonci su poslali k Joæui u tabor u Gilgal i poruçili: “Ne diœi svojih ruku sa svojih sluga! Doåi brzo k nama, spasi nas i pomozi nam, jer su se ujedinili protiv nas svi amorejski kraljevi koji prebivaju u gorama.” 7 Onda se Joæua spustio iz Gilgala, on i s njim sav ratni narod, i svi silni junaci. 8 A Gospodin je rekao Joæui: “Ne boj ih se, jer ih dajem u tvoje ruke. Ni jedan od njih se neøe odrœati pred tobom.” 9 Stoga je Joæua udario na njih iznenada, ho-

Now Joshua was old, advanced in years. And the LORD said to him: “You are old, advanced in years, and there remains very much land yet to be possessed. 2 This is the land that yet remains: all the territory of the Philistines and all that of the Geshurites, 3 from Sihor, which is east of Egypt, as far as the border of Ekron northward (which is counted as Canaanite); the five lords of the Philistines–the Gazites, the Ashdodites, the Ashkelonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also the Avites; 4 from the south, all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that belongs to the Sidonians as far as Aphek, to the border of the Amorites; 5 the land of the Gebalites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrise, from Baal Gad below Mount Hermon as far as the entrance to Hamath;

Kad je Joæua i odmakao u svojim godinama, je rekao mu Gospodin: “Ti si star i vremeæan, a velik dio zemlje ostao je joæ neosvojen. 2 Ovo je zemlja koja je joæ ostala: sve pokrajine Filistejaca i sva zemlja Geæurejaca; 3 od Æihora koji je istoçno od Egipta, sve do ekronske granice na sjeveru, æto pripada Kanaancima; pet kneœevina filistejskih, naime, u Gazejci, Aædodejci, Aækelonci, Gitejci i Ekronci, dalje Avimci; 4 na jugu, sva zemlja Kanaanaca i Mearah æto pripada Sidoncima sve do Afeke, do amorejske granice; 5 onda zemlja Gebalijana i sav Lebanon u istoçnom dijelu, od Baal-Gada na podnoœju Hermona do ulaza u Hamat.

These are the areas which the sons of Israel inherited in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the sons of Israel distributed as an inheritance to them. 2 Their inheritance was by lot, as the LORD had commanded by the hand of Moses, for the nine tribes and the half-tribe. 3 For Moses had given the inheritance of the two tribes and the half-tribe on the other side of the Jordan; but to the Levites he had given no inheritance among them. 4 For the sons of Joseph were two tribes: Manasseh and Ephraim. And they gave no part to the Levites in the land, except cities to dwell in, with their pasturelands for their livestock and their property. 5 As the LORD had commanded Moses, so the sons of Israel did; and they divided the land. 6 Then the sons of Judah came to Joshua in Gilgal. And Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him: “You know the word which the LORD said to Moses the man of God concerning you and me in Kadesh Barnea. 7 I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land, and I brought back word to him as it was in my heart. 8 Nevertheless my brethren who went up with me made the heart of the people melt, but I wholly followed the LORD my God. 9 So Moses swore on that day, saying, ‘Surely the land where your foot has trodden shall be your inheritance and your children’s forever, because you have wholly followed the LORD my God.’ 10 And now, behold, the LORD has kept me alive, as he said, these forty-five years, ever since the LORD spoke this word to Moses while Israel wandered in the wilderness; and now, here I am this day, eightyfive years old. 11 As yet I am as strong this day as I was on the day that Moses sent me; just as my strength was then, so now is my strength for war, both for going out and for coming in. 12 Now therefore, give me this mountain of which the LORD spoke in that day; for you heard in that day how the Anakim were there, and that the cities were great and fortified. It may be that the LORD will be with me, and I shall be able to drive them out as the LORD said.” 13 And Joshua blessed him, and gave Hebron to Caleb the son of Jephunneh as an inheritance. 14 Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this day, because he wholly followed the LORD God of Israel. 15 And the name of Hebron formerly was KirjathArba, for Arba was the greatest man among the Anakim. Then the land had rest from war.

Ovo su podruçja æto su baætinili Izraelovi sinovi u zemlji Kanaanaca, æto su im sveøenik Eleazar i Joæua, sin Nunov, i plemenski poglavari Izraelovih sinova, razdijelili kao baætinu. 2 Njihovu baætinu razdijelili su œdrijebom, kako je Gospodin odredio preko Mojsija za devet plemena i polovicu plemena. 3 Mojsije je odredio baætinu dvama plemenima i polovici plemena, s onu stranu Jordana, a Levitima nije bio dao baætine meåu njima. 4 Jer Josipovih sinova bila su dva plemena: Manaseh i Efraim. A Levitima nisu dali dijela u zemlji, nego samo gradove za prebivanje i njihove paænjake za njihovu stoku i za njihov imetak. 5 Kako je Gospodin zapovjedio Mojsiju, tako su uçinili Izraelovi sinovi i razdijelili zemlju. 6 Onda su pristupili Judini sinovi k Joæui u Gilgalu. Kaleb, sin Jefuneov, Kenizejac, i rekao mu: “Ti znaæ æto je odredio Gospodin Mojsiju, Boœjemu çovjeku, za mene i za tebe u KadeæBarneu. 7 Bilo mi je çetrdeset godina kad me poslao Mojsije, sluga Gospodinov, iz Kadeæ-Barnea, da uhodim zemlju, i donio sam mu izvjeætaj, kako sam mislio u svojemu srcu. 8 A moji sudruzi, koji su iæli sa mnom, ustraæili su srce narodu, ali ja sam posve bio na strani Gospodina, svojega Boga. 9 I zakleo se Mojsije onaj dan: ‘Zemlja, na koju je stupila tvoja noga, neka pripadne tebi i tvojim sinovima kao baætina zauvjek, jer si posve stupio na stranu Gospodina, mojega Boga.’ 10 A sada, gle, Gospodin me po svojem obeøanju saçuvao u œivotu punih çetrdeset i pet godina, od vremena kad je Gospodin rekao Mojsiju onu rijeç dok je Izrael iæao po pustinji; i sada, evo me danas, imam osamdeset i pet godina. 11 Danas sam joæ krepak kao onda kad me je Mojsije poslao. Moja snaga danas joæ je kao moja snaga onda kad se trebalo boriti i dolaziti i odlaziti. 12 Zato daj mi sada tu gorovitu zemlju, za koju je onda govorio Gospodin, jer ti si sam onda çuo da su ondje Anakovci i veliki utvråeni gradovi. Moœda je Gospodin sa mnom, i ja øu ih moøi protjerati, kako je to obeøao Gospodin.” 13 Onda ga blagoslovio Joæua, i on je dao Kalebu, sinu Jefuneovu, Hebron kao baætinu. 14 Zato pripada Hebron Kalebu, sinu Jefuneovu, Kenizejcu, kao baætina sve do danaænjega dana, jer se on svom svojom duæom drœao Gospodina, Boga Izraelova. 15 Hebron se prije zvao grad Kirjat-Arba, jer Arba je bio najveøi çovjek meåu Anakovcima. Onda je zemlja poçinula od rata.

There was also a lot for the tribe of Manasseh, for he was the firstborn of Joseph: namely for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, because he was a man of war; therefore he was given Gilead and Bashan. 2 And there was a lot for the rest of the sons of Manasseh according to their families: for the sons of Abiezer, the sons of Helek, the sons of Asriel, the sons of Shechem, the sons of Hepher, and the sons of Shemida; these were the male sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph according to their families. 3 But Zelophehad the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but only daughters. And these are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. 4 And they came near before Eleazar the priest, before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the rulers, saying, “The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brothers.” Therefore, according to the commandment of the LORD, he gave them an inheritance among their father’s brothers. 5 Ten portions fell to Manasseh, besides the land of Gilead and Bashan, which were on the other side of the Jordan, 6 because the daughters of Manasseh received an inheritance among his sons; and the rest of Manasseh’s sons had the land of Gilead. 7 And the territory of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethath, that lies east of Shechem; and the border went along south to the inhabitants of En Tappuah. 8 Manasseh had the land of Tappuah, but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the sons of Ephraim. 9 And the border descended to the Brook Kanah, southward to the brook. These cities of Ephraim are among the cities of Manasseh. The border of Manasseh was on the north side of the brook; and it ended at the sea. 10 Southward it was Ephraim’s, northward it was Manasseh’s, and the sea was its border. Manasseh’s territory was adjoining Asher on the north and Issachar on the east. 11 And in Issachar and in Asher, Manasseh had Beth Shean and its towns, Ibleam and its towns, the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, the inhabitants of En

Baætina Manasehova

I dopao je dio plemenu Manasehovu, jer on je bio prvoroåenac Josipov. Makiru, prvoroåencu Manasehovu, ocu Gileadovu, dopadne Gilead i Baæan, jer je bio junak. 2 I ostati Manasehovi sinovi dobili su svoj dio po svojim rodovima: Abiezerovi sinovi, Helekovi sinovi, Asrielovi sinovi, Æekemovi sinovi, Heferovi sinovi i Æemidini sinovi. To su muæki potomci Manaseha, sina Josipova, po svojim rodovima. 3 A Selofhad, sin Hefera, sina Gileada, sina Makira, sina Manasehova, nije imao sinova, nego samo køeri. Ovo su im imena: Mahla, Noa, Hogla i Tirsa. 4 I one pristupe pred sveøenika Eleazara i pred Joæuu, sina Nunova, i pred poglavare, govoreøi: “Gospodin je zapovjedio Mojsiju da nam dade naæu baætinu meåu naæom braøom.” I dao im je on po zapovijedi Gospodinovoj baætinu meåu braøom njihova oca. 5 Tako je dopalo Manasehu deset dijelova, osim gileadske zemlje i Baæana, koji su s onu stranu Jordana, 6 jer su køeri Manasehove dobile baætinu meåu njegovim sinovima, a zemlja gileadska pripadne drugim Manasehovim sinovima. 7 Manasehovo podruçje bilo je od Aæera u Mikmetat, koji leœi istoçno od Æekema. Potom ide granica na jug k stanovnicima EnTapuaha. 8 Pokrajina Tapuah pripadala je Manasehu, a sam Tapuah na Manasehovoj granici pripadao je Efraimovim sinovima. 9 Onda silazi granica k potoku Kani, juœno od potoka. Ovi gradovi meåu Manasehovim gradovima pripadali su Efraimu. Granica Manasehova bila je sjeverno od potoka i svræavala na moru. 10 Æto leœi prema jugu, pripadalo je Efraimu, a æto leœi prema sjeveru, Manasehu, a granica im je more; na sjeveru granica s Aæerom, a na istoku s Isakarom. 11 U Isakaru i Aæeru pripadaju Manasehu: Bet-Æean sa svojim selima, Ibleam sa svojim selima, stanovnici u Doru sa svojim selima,

The LORD also spoke to Joshua, saying, 2 Speak to the sons of Israel, saying: ‘Appoint for yourselves cities of refuge, of which I spoke to you through Moses, 3 that the slayer who kills any person accidentally or unintentionally may flee there; and they shall be your refuge from the avenger of blood. 4 And when he flees to one of those cities, and stands at the entrance of the gate of the city, and declares his case in the hearing of the elders of that city, they shall take him into the city as one of them, and give him a place, that he may dwell among them. 5 Then if the avenger of blood pursues him, they shall not deliver the slayer into his hand, because he struck his neighbor unintentionally, but did not hate him beforehand. 6 And he shall dwell in that city until he stands before the congregation for judgment, and until the death of the one who is high priest in those days. Then the slayer may return and come to his own city and his own house, to the city from which he fled.’ ” 7 So they appointed Kedesh in Galilee, in the mountains of Naphtali, Shechem in the mountains of Ephraim, and Kirjath-Arba (which is Hebron) in the mountains of Judah. 8 And on the other side of the Jordan, by Jericho eastward, they assigned Bezer in the wilderness on the plain, from the tribe of Reuben, Ramoth in Gilead, from the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan, from the tribe of Manasseh. 9 These were the cities appointed for all the sons of Israel and for the stranger who sojourned among them, that whoever killed any person accidentally might flee there, and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood until he stood before the congregation.

Gradovi utoçiæta

Gospodin je govorio Joæui, rekavæi: 2 “Priopøi Izraelovim sinovima, govoreøi: ‘Odredite sebi gradove utoçiæta, za koje sam vam dao zapovijed preko Mojsija, 3 da ondje mogne pobjeøi ubojica ako je koga nehotice i nenamjerno ubio. Neka vam budu utoçiæta od krvnoga osvetnika! 4 A kad pobjegne u koji od tih gradova, i stane pred gradskim vratima i iznese svoju stvar starjeæinama onoga grada, neka ga prime k sebi u grad i odrede mu mjesto gdje moœe kod njih boraviti. 5 Onda ako ga progoni krvni osvetnik, ne smiju izruçiti ubojicu u njegove ruke, jer je nehotice ubio svojega bliœnjega i nije mu prije bio neprijatelj. 6 Neka ostane u onom gradu dok ne stane pred zajednicu na sud, do smrti velikoga sveøenika, koji bude onih dana. Onda se ubojica smije opet vratiti u svoj grad i svojoj kuøi, u grad iz kojega je pobjegao.’ ” 7 Tako su odredili Kedeæ u Galileji na Naftalijevim gorama, Æekem na Efraimovim gorama, Kirjat-Arba, to jest Hebron, na Judinim gorama. 8 A s onu stranu Jordana, istoçno od Jerihona, odredili su Bezer u pustinji na ravnici Rubenova plemena, Ramot u Gileadu Gadova plemena i Golan u Baæanu Manasehova plemena. 9 To su bili gradovi odreåeni za sve Izraelove sinove i za doæljaka koji je boravio meåu njima, da ondje moœe pobjeøi svaki koji je drugoga nehotice ubio, da ga ne bi ubio krvni osvetnik prije nego stane pred zajednicu.

Then Joshua called the Reubenites, the Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh, 2 and said to them: “You have kept all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, and have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you. 3 You have not left your brethren these many days, up to this day, but have kept the charge of the commandment of the LORD your God. 4 And now the LORD your God has given rest to your brethren, as he promised them; now therefore, return and go to your tents and to the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you on the other side of the Jordan.

22

Onda je sazvao Joæua Rubenovce, Gadovce i polovicu plemena Manasehova, 2 I rekao im: “Vi ste ispunili sve æto vam je zapovjedio Mojsije, sluga Gospodinov, i posluæali ste me u svemu æto sam vam zapovjedio. 3 Niste ostavili svoje braøe kroz dugo vrijeme do danas, nego ste vjerno drœali zapovijed Gospodina, svojega Boga. 4 I kad je Gospodin, vaæ Bog, pribavio mir vaæoj braøi, kako im je obeøao, to se sad vratite natrag kuøi, u zemlju u kojoj je vaæa baætina, koju vam je Mojsije, sluga Gospodinov, odredio s onu stranu Jordana.

Now it happened, a long time after the LORD had given rest to Israel from all their enemies round about, that Joshua was old, advanced in age. 2 And Joshua called for all Israel, for their elders, for their heads, for their judges, and for their officers, and said to them: “I am old, advanced in age.

Then Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem and called for the elders of Israel, for their heads, for their judges, and for their officers; and they presented themselves before God. 2 And Joshua said to all the people, “Thus says the LORD God of Israel: ‘Your fathers, including Terah, the father of Abraham and the father of Nahor, dwelt on the other side of the River in old times; and they served other gods. 3 Then I took your father Abraham from the other side of the River, led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his descendants and gave him Isaac. 4 To Isaac I gave Jacob and Esau.

Indeed I have delivered the land into his hand.” 3 So Judah said to Simeon his brother, “Come up with me to my allotted territory, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I will likewise go with you to your allotted territory.” And Simeon went with him. 4 Then Judah went up, and the LORD delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand; and they killed ten thousand men at Bezek. 5 And they found Adoni-Bezek in Bezek, and fought against him; and they defeated the Canaanites and the Perizzites. 6 Then Adoni-Bezek fled, and they pursued him and caught him and cut off his thumbs and big toes. 7 And Adoni-Bezek said, “Seventy kings with their thumbs and big toes cut off used to gather their food under my table; as I have done, so God has repaid me.” Then they brought him to Jerusalem, and there he died. 8 Now the sons of Judah fought against Jerusalem and took it; they struck it with the edge of the sword and set the city on fire. 9 And afterward the sons of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites who dwelt in the mountains, in the South, and in the lowland.

KNJIGA SUDACA Nastavak zauzimanja kanaanske zemlje

I dogodilo se po smrti Joæuinoj, upitali su Izraelovi sinovi Gospodina, govoreøi: “Tko øe od nas iøi prvi u boj protiv Kanaanaca?” 2 Gospodin je rekao: “Juda neka uziåe, eto, dajem zemlju u njegove ruke.” 3 Onda je Juda rekao Simeonu svojem bratu: “Hajde sa mnom na moj odreåeni dio; borit øemo se protiv Kanaanaca, a potom øu onda ja iøi s tobom na tvoj odreåeni dio.” I poæao je Simeon s njim. 4 I digli se Judini sinovi na put, i Gospodin je dao Kanaance i Perizejce u njihove ruke. Pobili su ih kod Bezeka; deset tisuøa ljudi. 5 U Bezeku su naæli Adoni-Bezeka, udarili su na njega i pobili Kanaance i Perizejce, 6 Onda je Adoni-Bezek bjeœao, nagnuli su oni za njim, uhvatili ga i odsjekli mu palce na rukama i na nogama. 7 Onda je rekao Adoni-Bezek: “Sedamdeset kraljeva, kojima su bili odsjeçeni palci na rukama i na nogama, kupilo je mrvice pod mojim stolom. Kako sam çinio, tako mi je platio Bog.” Odveli su ga onda u Jeruzalem, gdje je umro. 8 Nato su Judini sinovi udarili na Jeruzalem, zauzeli ga, pobili ga oætricom maça i ognjem zapalili grad. 9 Potom su izaæli Judini sinovi da se bore s Kanaancima, koji su prebivali u gori, u juœnoj zemlji i u nizini.

Now these are the nations which the LORD left, that he might test Israel by them, that is, all who had not known any of the wars in Canaan 2 (this was only so that the generations of the sons of Israel might be taught to know war, at least those who had not formerly known it), 3 namely, five L ORD s of the Philistines, all the Canaanites, the Sidonians, and the Hivites who dwelt in Mount Lebanon, from Mount Baal Hermon to the entrance of Hamath. 4 And they were left, that he might test Israel by them, to know whether they would obey the commandments of the LORD, which he had commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses. 5 So the sons of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. 6 And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons; and they served their gods. 7 So the sons of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD. They forgot the LORD their God, and served the Baals and Asherahs. 8 Therefore the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of CushanRishathaim king of Mesopotamia; and the sons of Israel served Cushan-Rishathaim eight years. 9 When the sons of Israel cried out to the LORD, the LORD raised up a deliverer for the sons of Israel, who delivered them: Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother. 10 The Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he judged Israel. He went out to war, and the LORD delivered Cushan-Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed over CushanRishathaim. 11 So the land had rest for forty years. Then Othniel the son of Kenaz died. 12 And the sons of Israel again did evil in the sight of the LORD. So the LORD strengthened Eglon king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the LORD. 13 Then he gathered to himself the sons of Ammon

Osloboåenje po Otnielu, Ehudu i Æamgaru

A ovo su narodi koje je ostavio Gospodin da po njima kuæa Izrael sve one koji joæ nisu iskusili ratova k Kanaanu. 2 To je bilo tako da su naraætaji Izraelovih sinova morali nauçiti vojniætvo; barem oni koji to joæ nisu znali od prije. 3 Po imenu pet je filistejskih poglavara, svi Kanaanci, Sidonci i Hivejci, koji su prebivali na Lebanonu, od gore Baal-Hermona do onamo gdje se ide u Hamat. 4 Oni su ostali zato da se po njima Izrael stavi na kuænju i da se vidi hoøe li slijediti zapovijedi Gospodinove, na koje je obvezao njihove oçeve preko Mojsija. 5 Tako su prebivali Izraelovi sinovi meåu Kanaancima, Hitejcima, Amorejcima, Perizejcima, Hivejcima i Jebusejcima. 6 Oni su uzimali sebi njihove køeri za œene, davali svoje vlastite køeri njihovim sinovima i sluœili njihovim bogovima. 7 Tako su Izraelovi sinovi opet çinili zlo pred Gospodinom, i zaboravili su Gospodina, svojega Boga, pa su sluœili baalima i aætartama. 8 Zato se raspalila srdœba Gospodinova protiv Izraela i dao ih u ruke Kuæan-Riæataimu, kralju sjeverne Mezopotamije. Osam godina morali su Izraelovi sinovi sluœiti Kuæan Riæataimu. 9 Kad su Izraelovi sinovi zavapili Gospodinu, podigao je Gospodin Izraelovim sinovima izbavitelja, da ih izbavi, Otniela, sina Kenaza, mlaåega brata Kalebova. 10 Na njega je doæao Duh Gospodinov, i on je sudio u Izraelu. On je iziæao u rat, i Gospodin mu je predao u ruke Kuæana Riæataima, kralja sjeverne Mesopotamije; njegova je ruka nadjaçala Kuæan Riæataima. 11 Tako je bila zemlja mirna çetrdeset godina, dok nije umro Otniel, sin Kenazov. 12 Kad su Izraelovi sinovi opet çinili zlo pred Gospodinom, uçinio je Gospodin moapskog kralja, Eglona, jaçim od Izraelovih sinova, jer su çinili zlo pred Gospodinom. 13 Onda se on ujedinio s Amoncima i Amaleça-

Then Ehud said, 20 Ehud je pristupio k njemu, a on je sjedio sam “I have a message from God for you.” So he arose u svojoj hladovitoj gornjoj sobi, i Ehud je rekao: “Rijeç Boœju imam ti reøi!” On je ustao sa svofrom his seat. 21 Then Ehud reached with his left hand, took the jega prijestolja. dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly. 21 Onda je Ehud, svojom lijevom rukom, 22 Even the hilt went in after the blade, and the fat trgnuo bodeœ sa svoje desne bedrice i zatjerao closed over the blade, for he did not draw the dagger mu ga u trbuh. 22 Tako je drœak odmah prodro za oætricom, i out of his belly; and his entrails came out. 23 Then Ehud went out through the porch and shut salo se sklopilo oko oætrice, jer nije opet izvuthe doors of the upper room behind him and locked kao bodeœa iz trbuha; i crijeva su mu iziæla. 23 Onda je Ehud izaæao van u trijem, zatvorio them. 24 When he had gone out, Eglon’s servants came to za sobom vrata gornje sobe i zakljuçao. look, and to their surprise, the doors of the upper 24 Kad se bio udaljio, doæle su sluge da pogleroom were locked.

When Ehud was dead, the sons of Israel again did evil in the sight of the LORD. 2 So the LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor. The commander of his army was Sisera, who dwelt in Harosheth Hagoyim. 3 And the sons of Israel cried out to the LORD; for Jabin had nine hundred chariots of iron, and for twenty years he harshly oppressed the sons of Israel. 4 Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, was judging Israel at that time.

Debora i Barak izbavljaju Izraela od Sisere

Poslije smrti Ehudove, Izraelovi sinovi su opet çinili zlo pred Gospodinom. 2 Tako ih predao Gospodin u ruke Jabinu, kanaanskom kralju, koji je vladao u Hazoru. Njegov vojskovoåa bio je Sisera, koji je boravio u Haroæetu neznaboœaçkom. 3 Onda su zavapili Izraelovi sinovi Gospodinu za pomoø, jer Jabin je imao devet stotina œeljeznih bojnih kola i dvadeset godina jako je tlaçio Izraelove sinove. 4 U ono je vrijeme Debora, proroçica, œena Lapidotova, sudila Izraelu.

-295Judges 24 And the hand of the sons of Israel grew stronger and stronger against Jabin king of Canaan, until they had destroyed Jabin king of Canaan.

Then Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam sang on that day, saying: 2 When leaders lead in Israel, when the people willingly offer themselves, bless the LORD! 3 Hear, O kings! Give ear, O princes! I, even I, will sing to the LORD; I will sing praise to the LORD God of Israel. 4 LORD, when you went out from Seir, when you marched from the field of Edom, the earth trembled and the heavens poured, the clouds also poured water; 5 the mountains gushed before the LORD, this Sinai, before the LORD God of Israel. 6 In the days of Shamgar, son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were deserted, and the travelers walked along the byways. 7 Village life ceased, it ceased in Israel, until I, Deborah, arose, arose a mother in Israel. 8 They chose new gods; then there was war in the gates; not a shield or spear was seen among forty thousand in Israel. 9 My heart is with the rulers of Israel who offered themselves willingly with the people. Bless the LORD! 10 Speak, you who ride on white donkeys, who sit in judges’ attire, and who walk along the road. 11 Far from the noise of the archers, among the watering places, there they shall recount the righteous acts of the LORD, the righteous acts for his villagers in Israel; then the people of the LORD shall go down to the gates. 12 Awake, awake, Deborah! Awake, awake, sing a song! Arise, Barak, and lead your captives away, O son of Abinoam! 13 Then the survivors came down, the people against the nobles; the LORD came down for me against the mighty. 14 From Ephraim were those whose roots were in Amalek. After you, Benjamin, with your peoples, from Machir rulers came down, and from Zebulun those who bear the recruiter’s staff. 15 And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah; as Issachar, so was Barak sent into the valley under his command; among the divisions of Reuben there were great resolves of heart. 16 Why did you sit among the sheepfolds, to hear the pipings for the flocks? The divisions of Reuben have great searchings of heart. 17 Gilead stayed beyond the Jordan, and why did Dan remain on ships? Asher continued at the seashore, and stayed by his inlets. 18 Zebulun is a people who jeopardized their lives to the point of death, Naphtali also, on the heights of the battlefield. 19 The kings came and fought, then the kings of Canaan fought in Taanach, by the waters of Megiddo; they took no spoils of silver. 20 They fought from the heavens; the stars from their courses fought against Sisera. 21 The torrent of Kishon swept them away, that ancient torrent, the torrent of Kishon. O my soul, march on in strength! 22 Then the horses’ hooves pounded, the galloping, galloping of his steeds. 23 Curse Meroz,’ said the angel of the LORD, ‘curse its inhabitants bitterly, because they did not come to the help of the LORD, to the help of the LORD against the mighty.’ 24 Most blessed among women is Jael, the wife of

Suci Pobjedna pjesmu Debore i Baraka

U onaj dan pjevali su Debora i Barak, sin Abinoamov, sljedeøu pjesmu: 2 “Poglavari su vodili u Izraelu, dragovoljno se ponudio narod u boj, slavite stoga Gospodina! 3 Kraljevi, çujte! Poglavari, posluæajte! Ja hoøu Gospodinu, ja hoøu pjevati pjesmu, hoøu posvetiti Gospodinu, Bogu Izraelovu, svoju pjesmu. 4 Kad si silazio sa Seira, Gospodine, kad si iæao iz edomskog polja, zemlja se tresla, nebesa su lijevala, oblaci su tekli vodom; 5 brda se njihala pred Gospodinom, Sinaj pred Gospodinom, Bogom Izraelovim. 6 U dane Æamgara, sina Anatova, u vrijeme Jaelino putovi su leœali pusti. I tko je iæao stazama, vukao se stranputicama. 7 Nije bilo voåe u Izraelu, çovjek se osjeøao zapuæten, dok ja, Debora, nisam ustala, nisam ustala kao majka u Izraelu. 8 Jer se traœilo nove bogove, pokucao onda na vrata rat, ali se nije vidio ætit ni koplje meåu çetrdeset tisuøa u Izraelu. 9 Hvala moja ide poglavarima Izraelovim i narodu koji se dragovoljno ponudio u boj. Slavite stoga Gospodina! 10 Govorite, vi koji jaæete na bijelim magarcima, koji sjedite na jastucima, i hodite po putovima. 11 Glasnije i od povika pastira na pojiliætima, slavite pravednu pobjedu Gospodina, sjajno djelo njegove moøi u Izraelu! Onda øe siøi na vrata Gospodinova naroda. 12 Ustani, ustani, Debora! Ustani, ustani, zapjevaj hvalospjev! Digni se, Baraçe! Vodi ih u ropstvo, sine Abinoamov! 13 Ostaci junaka, izaåite van! Narode Gospodinov, junacima tako bogat, silazi k meni! 14 Od Efraima silazi se u dolinu k tebi, Benjamine, s tvojim konjanicima; poglavari izlaze iz Makira. 15 Iz Zebuluna voåe sa œezlom, s Deborom su se ujedinili poglavari Isakarovi, i Naftali s Barakom, za njim se juriæa u dolinu. Dugo se svjetuju u krajevima Rubenovim. 16 Æto sjediæ meåu torovima i sluæaæ kako bleje stada? Dugo se svjetuju u krajevima Rubenovim, 17 Gilead s onu stranu Jordana poçiva, i zaæto boravi Dan joæ daleko kod laåa? Na obali mora sjedi tiho Aæer, prebiva mirno u svojim zaljevima. 18 Zebulun je narod koji œrtvuje svoj œivot do smrti i Naftali na visokim bojnim poljanama. 19 I pridolaze kraljevi u boj, kraljevi kanaanski dolaze u bitku kod Taanaka na vodama Megida, ali ni mrve srebra nisu dobili. 20 S nebesa se bore zajedno zvijezde, vojuju protiv Sisere sa svojih staza. 21 Kiæon odnosi neprijatelje, Kiæon, potok bitaka. Moja duæo idi snaœno naprijed! 22 Veø toptaju konjska kopita, jer njihovi junaci tjeraju, tjeraju ondje. 23 ‘Proklinjite Meroz!’ Viçe gromko Anåeo Gospodinov: ‘Proklinjite njegove stanovnike, jer nisu doæli u pomoø Gospodinu, Gospodinu u pomoø kao junaci.’ 24 Najviæe od svih œena neka je slavljena Jaela, œena Ebera, Kenejca; najviæe od svih œena u æatoru neka je ona visoko çaæøena.

Indeed my clan is the weakest in Manasseh, manji u plemenu Manasehovu, a ja sam posljednji u svojoj obitelji.” and I am the least in my father’s house.” 16 And the LORD said to him, “Surely I will be with you, 16 A Gospodin mu rekao: “Zaista ja øu biti s tobom, pobit øeæ Midjance kao jednoga çovjeka.” and you shall defeat the Midianites as one man.” 17 Then he said to him, “If now I have found favor in 17 Onda mu on rekao: “Ako sam naæao milost u your sight, then show me a sign that it is you who talk tvojim oçima, daj mi znak da si to ti koji govoriæ sa mnom. with me. 18 Do not depart from here, I pray, until I come to you 18 Pa ne idi odavde dok se ja ne vratim k tebi i and bring out my offering and set it before you.” And donesem ti svoj dar i stavim pred tebe.” On je odgovorio: “Çekat øu dok se vratiæ.” he said, “I will wait until you come back.” 19 Then Gideon went in and prepared a young goat, 19 Onda otiæao Gideon i pripremio jare, jednu and unleavened bread from an ephah of flour.

Kad je sutradan rano usIsrael by my hand, as you have said.” 38 And it was so. When he rose early the next morn- tao i runo iscijedio, istisnu rosu iz runa, cijelu ing and squeezed the fleece together, he wrung the zdjelu punu vode. 39 Onda je Gideon rekao Bogu: “Ne naljuti se dew out of the fleece, a bowl full of water. 39 Then Gideon said to God, “Do not be angry with na mene, ako progovorim joæ jednom. Daj mi me, and let me speak just once more: Let me test, I da joæ samo ovaj put uçinim pokus s runom. pray, just once more with the fleece; let it now be dry Neka bude samo runo suho, a po cijeloj zemlji only on the fleece, but on all the ground let there be neka bude rosa.” 40 I Bog je uçinio tako onu noø. Samo je runo dew.” 40 And God did so that night. It was dry on the fleece ostalo suho, a po cijeloj zemlji bila je rosa. only, but there was dew on all the ground.

Then Jerubbaal (that is, Gideon) and all the people who were with him rose early and encamped beside the well of Harod, so that the camp of the Midianites was on the north side of them by the hill of Moreh in the valley. 2 And the LORD said to Gideon, “The people who are with you are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel claim glory for itself against me, saying, ‘My own hand has saved me.’ 3 Now therefore, proclaim in the hearing of the people, saying, ‘Whoever is fearful and afraid, let him turn and depart at once from Mount Gilead.’ “And twenty-two thousand of the people returned, and ten thousand remained. 4 And the LORD said to Gideon, “The people are still too many; bring them down to the water, and I will test them for you there. Then it will be, that of whom I say to you, ‘This one shall go with you,’ the same shall go with you; and of whomever I say to you, ‘This one shall not go with you,’ the same shall not go.” 5 So he brought the people down to the water. And the LORD said to Gideon, “Everyone who laps from the water with his tongue, as a dog laps, you shall set apart by himself; likewise everyone who gets down on his knees to drink.” 6 And the number of those who lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, was three hundred men; but all the rest of the people got down on their knees to drink water. 7 Then the LORD said to Gideon, “By the three hundred men who lapped I will save you, and deliver the Midianites into your hand. Let all the other people go, every man to his place.” 8 So the people took provisions and their trumpets in their hands. And he sent away all the rest of Israel, every man to his tent, and retained those three hundred men. Now the camp of Midian was below him in the valley. 9 And it happened on the same night that the LORD said to him, “Arise, go down against the camp, for I have delivered it into your hand. 10 But if you are afraid to go down, go down to the camp with Purah your servant, 11 and you shall hear what they say; and afterward your hands shall be strengthened to go down against the camp.” Then he went down with Purah his servant to the outpost of the armed men who were in the camp. 12 Now the Midianites and Amalekites, all the people of the East, were lying in the valley as numerous

Gideon pobjeåuje Midjance

Onda je Jerubaal uranio, to jest Gideon, i sav narod koji jer bio s njim i utaborili se kod izvora Harod, tako da je tabor Midjanaca bio sjeverno od njih na podnoœju breœuljka Moreh u ravnici. 2 Onda je rekao Gospodin Gideonu: “vojska koju imaæ uza se odviæe je mnogobrojna, a da bih dao Midjance u njezine ruke. Inaçe bi se Izrael mogao hvaliti protiv mene, govoreøi: ‘Vlastitom snagom spasio sam se.’ 3 Zato je oglasio ljudima: ‘Tko se boji i koga je strah, neka se vrati i neka odstupi od gore Gileada!’ ” I vratili se od redova dvadeset i dvije tisuøe ljudi, a deset tisuøa ljudi je ostalo. 4 A Gospodin je rekao Gideonu: “Ljudi ima joæ previæe. Povedi ih na vodu i ondje øu ih iskuæati. Za koga ti reknem: ‘Ovaj ide s tobom,’ taj neka ide s tobom! A za koga ti reknem: ‘Ovaj ne ide s tobom,’ taj neka ne ide s tobom!” 5 Poæto je ljude bio priveo na vodu, rekao je Gospodin Gideonu: “Svakoga koji lapøe vodu jezikom, kao æto lapøu psi, toga stavi na stranu; tako i svakoga, koji klekne na koljena da pije.” 6 Onda je bio broj onih koji su laptali vodu rukom k ustima, tri stotine ljudi; a svi ostali ljudi kleknuli su na koljena da piju vodu. 7 I rekao je Gospodin Gideonu: “S tri stotine ljudi koji su laptali vodu izbavit øu vas i predat øu ti u ruke Midjance, a svi drugi neka se vrate svaki svojoj kuøi!” 8 Poæto su ljudi uzeli sebi opskrbu i njihove trube, onda je otpustio sve Izraelove sinove, svakoga k svojem æatoru, a zadrœao samo one tri stotine ljudi. A tabor Midjanaca bio je pod njim u ravnici. 9 I dogodilo se one iste noøi da je Gospodin rekao: “Ustani, i siåi protiv tabora, jer ti ga ja dajem u ruke. 10 Ako se bojiæ sam siøi, siåi u tabor sa svojim slugom Purom, 11 i prisluækuj æto govore, i onda øeæ dobiti hrabrost da siåeæ i napadneæ tabor.” Onda je on siæao sa svojim slugom Purom u blizinu taborskih predstraœa. 12 Midjanci i Amaleçani i svi sinovi Istoka bili su se utaborili u ravnici tako mnogobrojni kao skakavci. Devama njihovim nije bilo broja, bilo ih je kao pijeska na morskoj obali. 13 Kad je doæao Gideon ondje, upravo je jedan pripovijedao drugomu ovaj san: “Sluæaj, imao

Kotrljao se peçen kruh jeçmeni u tabor midjanski i doæao do jednog æatora. as the sand by the seashore in multitude. 13 And when Gideon had come, there was a man Pogodio ga tako da je pao i preokrenuo se telling a dream to his companion. He said, “I have prema gore, i tako je æator leœao.” just had a dream: To my surprise, a loaf of barley 14 Onda je rekao drugi, govoreøi: “To nije niæta bread tumbled into the camp of Midian; it came to a drugo nego maç Izraela Gideona, sina tent and struck it so that it fell and overturned, and Joaæeva, Bog mu u ruke predaje Midjance i sav njihov tabor.” the tent collapsed.” 14 Then his companion answered and said, “This is 15 Kad je Gideon çuo pripovijest sna i njegovo nothing else but the sword of Gideon the son of tumaçenje, bacio se niçice. Onda se vratio u Joash, a man of Israel; for into his hand God has izraelski tabor i povikao: “Ustajte, jer Gospodin predaje tabor Midjanaca u vaæe ruke.” delivered Midian and the whole camp.” 15 And so it was, when Gideon heard the telling of 16 Potom je razdijelio tri stotine ljudi u tri grupe the dream and its interpretation, that he worshiped. i dao je svima u ruke trube i prazne vrçeve, a u He returned to the camp of Israel, and said, “Arise, vrçevima su bile luçi. for the LORD has delivered the camp of Midian into 17 On im zapovjedio: “Gledajte na mene i çinite isto tako, i kad doåem na kraj tabora, onda çiyour hand.” 16 Then he divided the three hundred men into three nite ono æto ja çinim! companies, and he put a trumpet into every man’s 18 Çim ja sa svima koji su uza me zatrubim u hand, with empty pitchers, and torches inside the trubu, zatrubite i vi u trube oko svega tabora i viçite: ‘Za Gospodina i za Gideona!’ ” pitchers. 17 And he said to them, “Look at me and do likewise; 19 I kad je bio doæao Gideon sa stotinu ljudi, koji watch, and when I come to the edge of the camp you su bili uz njega, na kraj tabora u poçetak srednje noøne straœe–tek su bili postavili straœe– shall do just as I do: 18 When I blow the trumpet, I and all who are with onda su zatrubili oni u trube i razlupali su me, then you also blow the trumpets on every side of vrçeve u svojim rukama. the whole camp, and say, ‘The sword of the LORD and 20 U isto vrijeme su zatrubili u trube tri grupe i razlupali su vrçeve.

Oreba su ubili na Orebovoj stijeni, a mountains of Ephraim, saying, “Come down against Zeba smaknuli kod Zebova tijeska. Onda su the Midianites, and seize from them the watering potjerali Midjance i donijeli glavu Orebovu i Zeplaces as far as Beth Barah and the Jordan.” Then bovu Gideonu s onu stranu Jordana. all the men of Ephraim gathered together and seized the watering places as far as Beth Barah and the Jordan. 25 And they captured two princes of the Midianites, Oreb and Zeeb. They killed Oreb at the rock of Oreb, and Zeeb they killed at the winepress of Zeeb. They pursued Midian and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon on the other side of the Jordan.

Now the men of Ephraim said to him, “Why have you done this to us by not calling us when you went to fight with the Midianites?” And they reprimanded him sharply. 2 So he said to them, “What have I done now in comparison with you? Is not the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer? 3 God has delivered into your hands the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb. And what was I able to do in comparison with you?” Then their anger toward him abated when he said that.

Gideonova daljnja povijest i smrt

Onda ga upitaju Efraimovci: “Zaæto si nam to uçinio, te nas nisi pozvao kad si poæao u boj protiv Midjancima?” Tako su mu œestoko prigovarali. 2 On im rekao: “Pa æto sam ja sada uçinio da se usporedim s vama? Nije li Efraimovo pabirçenje groœåa bolje od Abiezerove berbe? 3 Vama je u ruke dao Bog poglavare midjanske Oreba i Zeba. Pa æto sam ja uçinio bolje od vas?” Na takve rijeçi utiæala se njihova srdœba na njega.

A ljudi iz Penuela dali su mu isti swered him as the men of Succoth had answered odgovor kao i ljudi iz Sukota. 9 Onda je zaprijetio i ljudima iz Penuela, govohim. 9 So he also spoke to the men of Penuel, saying, reøi: “Kad se zdravo vratim, poruæit øu ovu “When I come back in peace, I will tear down this kulu.” 10 A Zebah i Salmuna bili su u Karkoru sa svotower!” 10 Now Zebah and Zalmunna were at Karkor, and jom vojskom, oko petnaest tisuøa ljudi.

On leaders of Succoth and its elders, seventy-seven mu popisao imena poglavara i starjeæina u Sukotu, sedamdeset i sedam ljudi. men. 15 Then he came to the men of Succoth and said, 15 Kad je doæao k ljudima u Sukotu, rekao je: “Here are Zebah and Zalmunna, about whom you “Evo, ovdje su Zebah i Salmuna, zbog kojih ste ridiculed me, saying, ‘Are the hands of Zebah and mi se narugali rijeçima: ‘Imaæ li ruke Zebahove Zalmunna now in your hand, that we should give i Salmunine veø u svojoj ruci da bi dali kruha tvojim umornim ljudima?’ ” bread to your weary men?’ ” 16 And he took the elders of the city, and thorns of 16 Onda je on uzeo starjeæine grada, i trnja iz the wilderness and briers, and with them he taught pustinje i draça i s tim kaznio ljude iz Sukota. 17 A kulu u Penuelu dao je sruæiti i ljude u gradu the men of Succoth. 17 Then he tore down the tower of Penuel and killed pobiti. 18 I on je rekao Zebahu i Salmuni: “Kakvi su bili the men of the city. 18 And he said to Zebah and Zalmunna, “What kind ljudi koje ste pobili na Taboru?” Oni su odgovoof men were they whom you killed at Tabor?” So they rili “Takvi kao ti, svaki je izgledao kao kraljevski answered, “As you are, so were they; each one re- sin.” 19 On je rekao: “To su bila moja braøa, sinovi sembled the son of a king.” 19 Then he said, “They were my brothers, the sons moje majke. Tako bio œiv Gospodin: da ste ih of my mother. As the LORD lives, if you had let them ostavili na œivotu, ne bih vas pogubio.” 20 Nato je zapovjedio Jeteru, svojem prvolive, I would not kill you.” 20 And he said to Jether his firstborn, “Rise, kill roåencu: “Ustani i pogubi ih!” Ali djeçak nije izthem!” But the youth would not draw his sword; for he vukao svoj maç, jer se bojao, bio je joæ djeçak. 21 Onda su zamolili Zebah i Salmuna: “Ustani ti was afraid, because he was still a youth. 21 So Zebah and Zalmunna said, “Rise yourself, and i pogubi nas, jer kakav je çovjek, onakva mu je kill us; for as a man is, so is his strength.” So Gideon snaga. Gideon se podigao i pogubio Zebaha i arose and killed Zebah and Zalmunna, and took the Salmuna. A mjeseçiøe æto su ih o vratu nosile crescent ornaments that were on their camels’ njihove deve, uzeo je sebi. 22 Potom su zamolili Izraelovi sinovi Gideona: necks. 22 Then the men of Israel said to Gideon, “Rule over “Budi naæ kralj, ti, tvoj sin i tvoj unuk, jer ti si nas us, both you and your son, and your grandson also; izbavio iz ruku Midjanaca.” for you have delivered us from the hand of Midian.” 23 A Gideon im rekao: “Ja ne mogu biti vaæ 23 But Gideon said to them, “I will not rule over you, kralj. I moj sin ne smije vladati nad vama, jer nor shall my son rule over you; the LORD shall rule Gospodin je vaæ kralj.” 24 Onda im rekao Gideon: “Imam jednu molbu over you.” 24 Then Gideon said to them, “I would like to make a za vas: Da mi svaki od vas dade nauænice æto request of you, that each of you would give me the ste zaplijenili!” Pobijeåeni su bili nosili zlatne earrings from his plunder.” For they had gold ear- nauænice, jer su bili Iæmaelovci.

And Abimelech the son of Jerubbaal went to Shechem, to his mother’s brothers, and spoke with them and with all the family of the house of his mother’s father, saying, 2 Please speak in the hearing of all the men of Shechem: ‘Which is better for you, that all seventy of the sons of Jerubbaal reign over you, or that one reign over you?’ Remember that I am your own flesh and bone.” 3 And his mother’s brothers spoke all these words concerning him in the hearing of all the men of Shechem; and their heart was inclined to follow Abimelech, for they said, “He is our brother.” 4 So they gave him seventy shekels of silver from the temple of Baal-Berith, with which Abimelech hired worthless and reckless men; and they followed him. 5 Then he went to his father’s house at Ophrah and killed his brothers, the seventy sons of Jerubbaal, on one stone. But Jotham the youngest son of Jerubbaal was left, because he hid himself. 6 And all the men of Shechem gathered together, all of Beth Millo, and they went and made Abimelech king beside the terebinth tree at the pillar that was in Shechem. 7 Now when they told it to Jotham, he went and stood on top of Mount Gerizim, and lifted his voice and cried out, and said to them: “Listen to me, you men of Shechem, that God may listen to you! 8 The trees once went forth to anoint a king over them. And they said to the olive tree, ‘reign over us!’ 9 But the olive tree said to them, ‘Should I cease giving my oil, with which they honor God and men, and go to sway over trees?’ 10 Then the trees said to the fig tree, ‘You come and reign over us!’

Nasilnik Abimelek i njegova smrt

Abimelek, sin Jerubaalov, otiæao je u Æekem k braøi svoje majke i predloœio njima i svemu rodu obitelji svoje majke, govoreøi: 2 “Upitajte jedanput otvoreno sve graåane u Æekemu: æto je bolje za vas, da nad vama vlada sedamdeset ljudi, svi Jerubaalovi sinovi, ili da nad vama vlada jedan çovjek? Pomislite na to da sam ja vaæe tijelo i vaæa kost.” 3 Tu izjavu njegovu rekla su braøa njegove majke pred svima graåanima u Æekemu, i njihova srca privinula se Abimeleku, jer su oni sebi govorili: “Naæ je brat.” 4 I dali su mu sedamdeset æekela srebra iz hrama Baal-Beritova. Ovim je Abimelek sebi unajmio drske ljude i pustolove, koji su poæli za njim. 5 Onda je poæao u kuøu svojega oca u Ofru i pobio svoju braøu, Jerubaalove sinove, sedamdeset ljudi na jednom kamenu. Samo je ostao Jotam, najmlaåi sin Jerubaalov, jer se bio sakrio. 6 Nato su se skupili svi graåani u Æekemu i svi stanovnici Bet-Milo, otiæli su i postavili Abimeleka kraljem kod hrasta koji stoji u Æekemu. 7 Kad su to javili Jotamu, otiæao je on, stao na vrh gore Gerizima i povika im u sav glas: “Çujte me, graåani u Æekemu, tako da vas Bog çuje! 8 Jedanput poæla stabla da pomaœu sebi kralja.

After Abimelech there arose to save Israel Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar; and he dwelt in Shamir in the mountains of Ephraim. 2 He judged Israel twenty-three years; and he died and was buried in Shamir. 3 After him arose Jair, a Gileadite; and he judged Israel twenty-two years. 4 Now he had thirty sons who rode on thirty donkeys; they also had thirty towns, which are called “Havoth Jair” to this day, which are in the land of Gilead. 5 And Jair died and was buried in Camon. 6 Then the sons of Israel again did evil in the sight of the LORD, and served the Baals and the Ashtoreths, the gods of Syria, the gods of Sidon, the gods of Moab, the gods of the sons of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines; and they forsook the LORD and did not serve him. 7 So the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel; and he sold them into the hands of the Philistines and into the hands of the sons of Ammon. 8 From that year they harassed and oppressed the sons of Israel for eighteen years–all the sons of Israel who were on the other side of the Jordan in the land of the Amorites, in Gilead. 9 Moreover the sons of Ammon crossed over the Jordan to fight against Judah also, against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim, so that Israel was severely distressed. 10 And the sons of Israel cried out to the LORD, saying, “We have sinned against you, because we have both forsaken our God and served the Baals!” 11 So the LORD said to the sons of Israel, “Did I not deliver you from the Egyptians and from the Amorites and from the sons of Ammon and from the Philistines? 12 Also the Sidonians and Amalekites and Maonites oppressed you; and you cried out to me, and I delivered you from their hand. 13 Yet you have forsaken me and served other gods. Therefore I will deliver you no more. 14 Go and cry out to the gods which you have chosen; let them deliver you in your time of distress.” 15 Then the sons of Israel said to the LORD, “We have sinned! Do to us whatever seems best to you; only deliver us this day, we pray.” 16 So they put away the foreign gods from among them and served the LORD. And his soul could no longer endure the misery of Israel. 17 Then the sons of Ammon gathered together and encamped in Gilead. And the sons of Israel assembled together and encamped in Mizpah. 18 And the people, the leaders of Gilead, said to one another, “Who is the man who will begin the fight against the sons of Ammon? He shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.”

Izraelovi sinovi opet pod tuåim jarmom

Poslije Abimeleka ustao je da izbavi Izraela Tola, sin Puahe, unuk Dodov, iz plemena Isakarova, a boravio je u Æamiru na gori Efraimovoj. 2 On je bio sudac Izraelu dvadeset i tri godine; on je umro i bio je pokopan u Æamiru. 3 Poslije njega ustao je Jair iz Gileada i bio je sudac Izraelu dvadeset i dvije godine. 4 On je imao trideset sinova, koji su jahali na tridesetero magaradi i imali trideset gradova, koji se zovu do danaænjega dana Sela Jairova, koja leœe u zemlji Gileadu. 5 Kad je umro Jair, pokopali su ga u Kamonu 6 Izraelovi sinovi çinili su opet zlo pred Gospodinom, i sluœili su Baalima i aætartama, sirijskim bogovima, sidonskim bogovima, moapskim bogovima, amoskim bogovima i filistejskim bogovima; a Gospodina su napustili i nisu mu sluœili. 7 Onda se raspalila srdœba Gospodinova na Izraela, i dao ih u ruke Filistejcima i u ruke Amoncima. 8 Od one godine oni su muçili i gazili Izraelove sinove osamnaest godina–sve Izraelove sinove s onu stranu Jordana u zemlji amorejskoj, u Gileadu. 9 Onda su Amonci proæli preko Jordana da se biju i s Judom, Benjaminom i kuøom Efraimovom, tako da su Izraelovi sinovi bili u velikoj nevolji. 10 I zavapili su Izraelovi sinovi Gospodinu i priznali: “Sagrijeæili smo tebi, jer smo ostavili svojega Boga i sluœili Baalima.” 11 A Gospodin je rekao Izraelovim sinovima: “Nisu li vas pritiskivali Egipøani, Amorejci, Amonci, Filistejci, 12 Sidonci, Amaleçani i Midjanci, ali kad ste zavapili k meni, ja sam vas izbavljao iz njihove ruke. 13 A vi ste ostavili mene i sluœili drugim bogovima. Zato vas viæe neøu izbavljati. 14 Idite i viçite k onim bogovima koje ste izabrali sebi, neka vas oni izbave u vaæoj nevolji!” 15 Onda su Izraelovi sinovi priznali Gospodinu: “Sagrijeæili smo, çini s nama æto ti je drago, samo nas izbavi joæ ovaj put.” 16 Tako su oni odbacili tuåe bogove iz svoje sredine i poçeli su opet sluœiti Gospodinu. I on viæe nije mogao trpjeti Izraelove nevolje. 17 Onda se podigli Amonci i u Gileadu se utaborili. A Izraelovi sinovi skupili se i utaborili kod Mispe, 18 A narod, gileadski poglavari, rekli su jedan drugomu: “Tko øe poçeti boj protiv Amonaca? On neka bude poglavar svim stanovnicima Gileada!”

-305-

Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valor, but he was the son of a harlot; and Gilead begot Jephthah. 2 Gilead’s wife bore sons; and when his wife’s sons grew up, they drove Jephthah out, and said to him, “You shall have no inheritance in our father’s house, for you are the son of another woman.” 3 Then Jephthah fled from his brothers and dwelt in the land of Tob; and worthless men banded together with Jephthah and went out raiding with him. 4 Now it happened after a time that the sons of Ammon made war against Israel. 5 And so it was, when the sons of Ammon made war against Israel, that the elders of Gilead went to get Jephthah from the land of Tob. 6 Then they said to Jephthah, “Come and be our commander, that we may fight against the sons of Ammon.” 7 So Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, “Did you not hate me, and expel me from my father’s house? Why have you come to me now when you are in distress?” 8 And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, “That is why we have turned again to you now, that you may go with us and fight against the sons of Ammon, and be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.” 9 So Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, “If you take me back home to fight against the sons of Ammon, and the LORD delivers them to me, shall I be your head?” 10 And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, “The LORD will be a witness between us, if we do not do according to your words.” 11 Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and commander over them; and Jephthah spoke all his words before the LORD in Mizpah. 12 Now Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the sons of Ammon, saying, “What do you have against me, that you have come to fight against me in my land?” 13 And the king of the sons of Ammon answered the messengers of Jephthah, “Because Israel took away my land when they came up out of Egypt, from the Arnon as far as the Jabbok, and to the Jordan. Now therefore, restore those lands peaceably.” 14 So Jephthah again sent messengers to the king of the sons of Ammon, 15 and said to him, “Thus says Jephthah: ‘Israel did not take away the land of Moab, nor the land of the sons of Ammon; 16 for when Israel came up from Egypt, they walked through the wilderness as far as the Red Sea and came to Kadesh. 17 Then Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, “Please let me pass through your land.” But the king of Edom would not heed. And in like manner they sent to the king of Moab, but he would not consent. So Israel remained in Kadesh. 18 And they went along through the wilderness and bypassed the land of Edom and the land of Moab, came to the east side of the land of Moab, and encamped on the other side of the Arnon. But they did not enter the border of Moab, for the Arnon was the border of Moab. 19 Then Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, king of Heshbon; and Israel said to him, “Please let us pass through your land into our place.” 20 But Sihon did not trust Israel to pass through his territory. So Sihon gathered all his people together, encamped in Jahaz, and fought against Israel.

Suci Jeftah sudac, njegova pobjeda i zavjet

Jeftah iz Gileada bio je jak junak, a bio je sin jedne bludnice. Gilead je bio otac Jeftahov. 2 Kad je Gileadova œena rodila njemu sinove, pa kad su odrasli sinovi te œene, otjerali su Jeftaha i rekli su mu: “Ne moœeæ biti baætinik u obitelji naæoj, jer si sin tuåe œene.” 3 Onda Jeftah pobjegao od svoje braøe i naselio se u zemlji Tobu. Ondje se okupilo oko Jeftaha ljudi bez imovine i poæli su s njim plijeniti. 4 A dogodilo se poslije nekoga vremena da je Amonov narod zaratio protiv Izraela. 5 Amonci su poæli u boj protiv Izraela, a starjeæine gileadske su otiæle da dovedu Jeftaha iz zemlje Toba. 6 I tako su oni zamolili Jeftaha: “Doåi i budi nam çelovoåa, da bi mogli vojevati protiv Amonaca.” 7 A Jeftah je odgovorio starjeæinama gileadskim: “Niste li me mrzili i otjerali iz kuøe mojega oca, pa zaæto sad dolazite k meni kad ste u nevolji?” 8 Starjeæine gileadske su odgovorile Jeftahu: “Zato smo sad opet doæli k tebi: “Ako poåeæ s nama i budeæ vojevao protiv Amonaca, bit øeæ poglavar nama, svim gileadskim graåanima.” 9 Onda je upitao Jeftah starjeæine gileadske: “Ako me odvedete natrag kuøi da se bijem protiv Amonaca, i ako mi ih preda Gospodin, hoøu li vam onda biti poglavar?” 10 Starjeæine gileadske su odgovorile Jeftahu: “Gospodin je svjedok po çuvenju meåu nama da øemo tako çiniti kako si zahtijevao.” 11 Tako je otiæao Jeftah sa starjeæinama gileadskim. Narod ga je postavio svojim poglavarom i voåom. Jeftah je prineo sve svoje œelje Gospodinu u Mispi. 12 Potom je Jeftah poslao glasnike amonskom kralju i poruçio: “Æto hoøeæ ti od mene, te ideæ protiv mene da vojujeæ protiv moje zemlje.” 13 Amonski kralj je odgovorio Jeftahovim glasnicima: “Izrael je uzeo moju zemlju kad je doæao iz Egipta, od Arnona do Jaboka i do Jordana, daj mi je sad natrag s mirom!” 14 Ali Jeftah je poslao opet glasnike amonskom kralju, 15 i poruçio mu: “Ovako kaœe Jeftah: ‘Izrael nije uzeo Moapske zemlje ni zemlje Amonaca. 16 Poæto su Izraelovi sinovi izaæli iz Egipta i putovali preko pustinje do Crvenoga mora i onda doæli u Kadeæ. 17 Onda je poslao Izrael glasnike edomskom kralju s molbom: ‘Htio bih proøi kroz tvoju zemlju,’ ali edomski kralj nije posluæao. I moapskom kralju su poslali, ali ni on nije htio çuti. Tako su ostali Izraelovi sinovi u Kadeæu. 18 Onda se zaputili preko pustinje, zaobiæli edomsku zemlju i moapsku zemlju i doæli su u zemlju istoçno od moapske zemlje. 19 Nato su poslali Izraelovi sinovi glasnike Sihonu, amorejskom kralju, heæbonskom kralju, i poruçio mu Izrael: ‘Htjeli bismo proøi kroz tvoju zemlju do svojega odreåenog mjesta.’ 20 Ali Sihon nije povjerovao prolazu Izraelovih sinova kroz njegovo podruçje. Nego je Sihon skupio sav svoj narod, utaborili se u Jahasu, i on se borio protiv Izraela. 21 Ali Gospodin, Bog Izraelov, dao je Sihona sa svom njegovom vojskom u ruke Izraelovim sinovima, koji su ih pobijedili.

Again the sons of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and the LORD delivered them into the hand of the Philistines for forty years. 2 Now there was a certain man from Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren and had no children. 3 And the Angel of the LORD appeared to the woman and said to her, “Indeed now, you are barren and have borne no children, but you shall conceive and bear a son. 4 Now therefore, please be careful not to drink wine or similar drink, and not to eat any unclean thing. 5 For behold, you shall conceive and bear a son. And no razor shall come upon his head, for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb; and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.” 6 So the woman came and told her husband, saying, “A Man of God came to me, and his countenance was like the countenance of the Angel of God, very

So

-310Judges his anger was aroused, and he went back up to his father’s house. 20 And Samson’s wife was given to his companion, who had been his best man.

And after a while, in the time of wheat harvest, it happened that Samson visited his wife with a young goat. And he said, “Let me go in to my wife, into her room.” But her father would not permit him to go in. 2 Her father said, “I really thought that you thoroughly hated her; therefore I gave her to your companion. Is not her younger sister better than she? Please, take her instead.” 3 And Samson said to them, “This time I shall be blameless regarding the Philistines if I harm them!” 4 Then Samson went and caught three hundred foxes; and he took torches, turned the foxes tail to tail, and put a torch between each pair of tails. 5 When he had set the torches on fire, he let the foxes go into the standing grain of the Philistines, and burned up both the shocks and the standing grain, as well as the vineyards and olive groves. 6 Then the Philistines said, “Who has done this?” And they answered, “Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he has taken his wife and given her to his companion.” So the Philistines came up and burned her and her father with fire. 7 And Samson said to them, “Since you would do a thing like this, I will surely take revenge on you, and after that I will cease.” 8 So he attacked them hip and thigh with a great slaughter; then he went down and dwelt in the cleft of the rock of Etam. 9 Now the Philistines went up, encamped in Judah, and deployed themselves against Lehi. 10 And the men of Judah said, “Why have you come up against us?” So they answered, “We have come up to arrest Samson, to do to him as he has done to us.” 11 Then three thousand men of Judah went down to the cleft of the rock of Etam, and said to Samson, “Do you not know that the Philistines rule over us? What is this you have done to us?” And he said to them, “As they did to me, so I have done to them.” 12 And they said to him, “We have come down to arrest you, that we may deliver you into the hand of the Philistines.” Then Samson said to them, “Swear to me that you will not kill me yourselves.” 13 So they spoke to him, saying, “No, but we will tie you securely and deliver you into their hand; but we will surely not kill you.” And they bound him with two new ropes and brought him up from the rock. 14 When he came to Lehi, the Philistines came shouting against him. Then the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him; and the ropes that were on his arms became like flax that is burned with fire, and his bonds broke loose from his hands. 15 He found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, reached out his hand and took it, and killed a thousand men with it. 16 Then Samson said: “With the jawbone of a donkey, heaps upon heaps, with the jawbone of a donkey I have slain a thousand men!” 17 And so it was, when he had finished speaking, that he threw the jawbone from his hand, and called that place Ramath Lehi. 18 Then he became very thirsty; so he cried out to the LORD and said, “You have given this great deliverance by the hand of your servant; and now shall I die of thirst and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?”

Samson razbio tisuøu magareøom çeljusti

Poslije nekoga vremena, u dane jeçmene œetve, htjedne Samson pohoditi svoju œenu, donio jare i zamolio: “Htio bih uøi k svojoj œeni u loœnicu”. Ali mu nije dopustio njezin otac uøi. 2 Njezin otac je odgovorio: “Mislio sam da ti ona nije po volji, pa sam je dao jednomu od tvojih svadbenih prijatelja. Nije li njezina mlaåa sestra joæ ljepæa od nje? Uzmi je namjesto one.” 3 Samson im odgovorio: “Ovaj put nisam Filistejcima odgovoran ako im uçinim neko zlo.” 4 I otiæao Samson, uhvatio tri stotine lisica, uzeo zublje, okrenu rep prema repu i stavio po jednu zublju meåu dva repa. 5 Onda zapalio zublje, pustio ih u œita Filistejaca i tako zapalio snopove, biljke, vinograde i masline. 6 Kad su upitali Filistejci: “Tko je to uçinio?” Odgovorili su: “Samson, zet Timnaøaninov, jer mu je uzeo njegovu œenu i dao jednomu od njegovih svadbenih prijatelja.” Onda su otiæli Filistejci i spalili nju i njezina oca. 7 A Samson im rekao: “Jer ste to uçinili, neøu mirovati dok vam se ne osvetim.” 8 I udario je sve one koje je stigao teækim udarcima od listova do bedara. Potom otiæao i nastanio se u æpilji Etama. 9 Onda su izaæli Filistejci, utaborili se u Judi i raæirili se kod Lehija. 10 Kad su Judejci upitali, govoreøi: “Zaæto ste izaæli k nama?”, odgovorili su: “Izaæli smo da uhvatimo Samsona i da mu uçinimo kako je on uçinio nama.” 11 Onda su izaæle tri tisuøe ljudi od Jude k æpilji Etama i upitali Samsona, govoreøi: “Ne znaæ li da su Filistejci naæi gospodari? Æto si nam to uçinio?” On im rekao: “Kako su oni uçinili meni, tako sam ja uçinio njima.” 12 Oni su mu rekli: “Doæli smo da te uhvatimo i da te predamo Filistejcima.” Samson ih zamolio: “Zakunite mi se da me neøete pogubiti!” 13 Oni su mu odgovorili: “Neøemo, nego øemo te samo uhvatiti i njima predati, sigurno neøemo te pogubiti.” Nato su ga svezali sa dva nova uœeta i izveli ga iz æpilje. 14 Kad je on doæao u Lehu i Filistejci su istrçali pred njega viçuøi od radosti, onda je doæao na njega Duh Gospodinov, i uœad na njegovim rukama su postala kao laneni konci, koje je spalio oganj, i spale sveze s njegovih ruku. 15 On je naæao sirovu magareøu çeljust, pruœio svoju ruku, prihvatio je i pobio s njom tisuøu ljudi. 16 Onda je rekao Samson: “Çeljusti magareøom pobio sam na hrpe i hrpe, çeljusti magareøom pobio sam tisuøu ljudi.” 17 A kad je s tim govorom bio gotov, bacio je çeljust iz ruke, i nazvao ono mjesto Ramot Lehi. 18 Onda je postao jako œedan, zavapio Gospodinu i pomolio se: “Ti si dao da tvoj sluga dobije ovu veliku pobjedu. A sada moram umrijeti od œeåi i pasti u ruke neobrezanima.” 19 Onda je Bog otvorio jednu kotlinu, kakvih je naøi kod Lehija, i potekla je iz nje voda i napio se odatle; povratio mu se œivotni duh, i opet oœivio. Zato je nazvao onaj izvor En Hakore,

Then Samson went to Gaza and saw a harlot there, and went in to her. 2 When the Gazites were told, “Samson has come here!” they surrounded the place and lay in wait for him all night at the gate of the city. They were quiet all night, saying, “In the morning, when it is daylight, we will kill him.” 3 And Samson lay low till midnight; then he arose at midnight, took hold of the doors of the gate of the city and the two gateposts, pulled them up, bar and all, put them on his shoulders, and carried them to the top of the hill that faces Hebron. 4 Now afterward it happened that he loved a woman in the Valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah. 5 And the LORDs of the Philistines came up to her and said to her, “Entice him, and find out where his great strength lies, and by what means we may overpower him, that we may bind him to afflict him; and every one of us will give you eleven hundred pieces of silver.” 6 So Delilah said to Samson, “Please tell me where your great strength lies, and with what you may be bound to afflict you.” 7 And Samson said to her, “If they bind me with seven fresh bowstrings, not yet dried, then I shall become weak, and be like any other man.” 8 So the LORDs of the Philistines brought up to her seven fresh bowstrings, not yet dried, and she bound him with them. 9 Now there were men lying in wait, staying with her in the room. And she said to him, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” But he broke the bowstrings as a strand of yarn breaks when it touches fire. So the secret of his strength was not known. 10 Then Delilah said to Samson, “Look, you have mocked me and told me lies. Now, please tell me what you may be bound with.” 11 So he said to her, “If they bind me securely with new ropes that have never been used, then I shall become weak, and be like any other man.” 12 Therefore Delilah took new ropes and bound him with them, and said to him, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” And there were men lying in wait, staying in the room. But he broke them off his arms like a thread. 13 Then Delilah said to Samson, “Until now you have mocked me and told me lies. Tell me what you may be bound with.” And he said to her, “If you weave the seven locks of my head into the web of the loom, then I shall become weak, and be like any other man”– 14 So she wove it tightly with the batten of the loom, and said to him, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” But he awoke from his sleep, and pulled out the batten and the web from the loom. 15 Then she said to him, “How can you say, ‘I love you,’ when your heart is not with me? You have mocked me these three times, and have not told me where your great strength lies.” 16 And it happened, when she pestered him daily with her words and pressed him, so that his soul was vexed to death, 17 that he told her all his heart, and said to her, “No razor has ever come upon my head, for I have been a Nazirite to God from my mother’s womb.

Samson i Delila. Samsonova smrt

Tako je jedanput Samson doæao u Gazu, vidio ondje jednu bludnicu i svratio se k

njoj. 2 I stanovnicima u Gazi se javilo: “Samson je doæao ovamo.” Oni se strçali i vrebali su ga cijelu noø na gradskim vratima, a drœali su se cijelu noø mirno. Govorili su: “Dok svane dan, ubit øemo ga.” 3 Ali je Samson leœao samo do ponoøi, onda u ponoø je ustao, uhvatio krila gradskih vrata zajedno s oba dovratnika, otrgnuo ih zajedno s prijevornicom, stavio ih na svoja ramena i odnio ih navrh gore naprema Hebronu. 4 Poslije toga on je zamilovao djevojku u dolini Soreku, çije je ime bilo Delila. 5 Doæli su k njoj poglavari filistejski i rekli joj: “Nagovaraj ga i iskuæaj gdje stoji njegova velika snaga, i kako bismo ga mogli svladati i svezati da ga uçinimo malenim! Mi øemo ti onda dati svaki po tisuøu i stotinu srebrnih æekela.” 6 I Delila je poçela nagovarati Samsona: “Hajde kaœi mi, u çemu je tvoja velika snaga i çim bi se moralo tebe svezati, da te se svlada.” 7 Samson joj odgovorio: “Da me se sveœe sa sedam lßkovih tetiva, joæ neosuæenih, onda bih postao slab i bio bih kao svaki drugi çovjek.” 8 I donijeli su joj poglavari filistejski sedam lßkovih tetiva, joæ neosuæenih, i ona ga njima svezala. 9 A sjedili su ljudi u njezinoj sobi u zasjedi. I ona mu povikala: “Eto Filistejaca na tebe, Samsone!” A on je istrgao lßkove tetive, kao æto se trga konac od kudjelje kad se primakne ognju. I nije se doznalo za njegovu snagu. 10 Onda je rekla Delila Samsonu: “Eto, prevario si me i slagao si mi. Kaœi mi sad çim te se moœe svezati!” 11 On joj rekao: “Da me se sveœe novim uœadima æto se joæ nisu rabila u poslu, postao bih slab i bio bih kao drugi çovjek.” 12 I Delila je uzela novu uœad i svezala ga njima, pa mu rekla: “Eto Filistejaca na tebe, Samsone!” A sjedili su ljudi u sobi u zasjedi. A on ih istrgao sa svojih ruku kao konac. 13 A Delila je rekla Samsonu: “Do sada si me varao i lagao mi, ali kaœi mi çim te se moœe svezati?” On joj odgovorio: “Da otkaæ sedam pramenova moje kose na tkalaçkom stanu i da ih priçvrstiæ klinom na vratilo stana, onda bih postao slab i bio bih kao svaki drugi çovjek.” 14 Kad je ona zabila kolçiø, povikala mu: “Eto Filistejaca na tebe, Samsone!” Onda se on probudio od sna i istrgao kolac, osnovu i vratilo. 15 Opet mu ona rekla: “Kako moœeæ tvrditi da si mi dobar, kad tvoje srce nije kod mene? Veø si me tri puta prevario i nisi mi rekao u çemu je tvoja velika snaga.” 16 I dogodilo se, kad mu je svaki dan dodijavala svojim rijeçima i tako ga muçila da mu je œivot bio ogorçio, 17 otvorio joj cijelo svoje srce i rekao joj: “Nikad nije britva doæla na moju glavu, jer sam od utrobe majçine Nazirej Boœji. Da mi se obrije glava, ostavila bi me moja snaga i postao slab i bio bih kao svaki drugi çovjek.

Now there was a man from the mountains of Ephraim, whose name was Micah. 2 And he said to his mother, “The eleven hundred shekels of silver that were taken from you, and on which you put a curse, even saying it in my ears– here is the silver with me; I took it.” And his mother said, “May you be blessed by the LORD, my son!” 3 So when he had returned the eleven hundred shekels of silver to his mother, his mother said, “I had wholly dedicated the silver from my hand to the LORD for my son, to make a carved image and a molded image; now therefore, I will return it to you.”

Idol Mikahe i njegove majke

Na gori Efraimovoj prebivao je jedan çovjek po imenu Mikah. 2 On je rekao svojoj majci: “Tisuøu i stotinu srebrnih æekela, koji su ti bili ukradeni, i zbog kojih si izustila kletvu, i to, dapaçe, na moje uæi, evo, to je srebro kod mene, ja sam ga uzeo.” Njegova majka je odgovorila: “Gospodin neka te blagoslovi, moj sine.” 3 Kad je on vratio tisuøu i stotinu srebrnih æekela svojoj majci, rekla je njegova majka: “Dajem to srebro kao posvetni dar iz svoje ruke Gospodinu za svojega sina, da se napravi od

So he said to him, “I am a Levite from Bethlehem in 9 Mikah ga upitao: “Odakle dolaziæ?” On mu Judah, and I am on my way to find a place to so- odgovorio: “Ja sam Levit iz Betlehema u Judi i na putu sam da se gdje god nastanim.” journ.” 10 Micah said to him, “Dwell with me, and be a father 10 Mikah ga zamolio: “Ostani kod mene i budi and a priest to me, and I will give you ten shekels of mi otac i sveøenik.

In those days there was no king in Israel. And in those days the tribe of the Danites was seeking an inheritance for itself to dwell in; for until that day their whole inheritance among the tribes of Israel had not yet fallen to them. 2 So the sons of Dan sent five men of their family from their territory, men of valor from Zorah and Eshtaol, to spy out the land and search it. They said to them, “Go, search the land.” So they went to the mountains of Ephraim, to the house of Micah, and lodged there. 3 While they were at the house of Micah, they recognized the voice of the young Levite. They turned aside and said to him, “Who brought you here? What are you doing in this place? What do you have here?” 4 He said to them, “Thus and so Micah did for me. He has hired me, and I have become his priest.” 5 So they said to him, “Please inquire of God, that we may know whether the journey on which we go will be prosperous.” 6 And the priest said to them, “Go in peace. May the presence of the LORD be with you on your way.” 7 So the five men departed and went to Laish. They saw the people who were there, how they dwelt safely, in the manner of the Sidonians, quiet and secure. There were no rulers in the land who might put them to shame for anything. They were far from the Sidonians, and they had no ties with anyone. 8 Then the spies came back to their brethren at Zorah and Eshtaol, and their brethren said to them, “What is your report?” 9 So they said, “Arise, let us go up against them. For we have seen the land, and indeed it is very good. Would you do nothing? Do not hesitate to go, that you may enter to possess the land. 10 When you go, you will come to a secure people and a large land.

Idolopokloniçka sluœba u Danovu plemenu

U ono vrijeme nije bilo kralja u Izraelu. Onda je pleme Danovo traœilo sebi baætinski posjed gdje bi se naselilo, jer mu dotada nije bila joæ dopala baætina meåu Izraelovim plemenima. 2 Zato su poslali Danovi sinovi iz svojega plemena pet ljudi, ljude osobito valjane, iz graniçnoga podruçja, iz Zorahe i Eætaola, da uhode i upoznaju zemlju. Oni su im rekli: “Idite i uhodite zemlju!” I oni su doæli u goru Efraimovu, do kuøe Mikahove, gdje su prenoøili. 3 Kad su bili kod kuøe Mikahove i poznali glas mladoga Levita, svratili se ondje i upitali ga, govoreøi: “Tko te doveo ovamo? Æto radiæ tu? Æto zasluœujeæ ovdje?” 4 On im odgovorio: “Tako i tako uçinio je Mikah sa mnom. On me nagovorio, i ja sam postao njegov sveøenik.” 5 Oni su mu rekli: “Pa upitaj Boga da znamo hoøe li nam biti sretan put na koji smo poæli!” 6 Nato im sveøenik dao odluku: “Idite s mirom; Bogu je po volji put kojim idete.” 7 Tako je poælo dalje tih pet ljudi, doæli su u Laiæ i vidjeli su da ljudi, koji su ondje prebivali, œive po obiçaju Sidonaca bezbriœno, tiho i mirno. Ni jedan nije zametao svaåe, i moglo se nesmetano uœivati svoj posjed. Bili su daleko od Sidonaca i s ostalim svijetom nisu imali nikakvih odnosa. 8 Pa kad se vratili k svojoj braøi u Zorah i Eætaol, upitala su ih njihova braøa: “Æto nam imate javiti?” 9 Oni su odgovorili: “Ustajte, idimo na njih, jer smo vidjeli zemlju koja je zaista vrlo dobra. Hoøete li biti joæ neodluçni? Ne oklijevajte, zaputite se ondje i zemlju zaposjednite! 10 Kada doåete ondje, naøi øete narod bez-

And it happened in those days, when there was no king in Israel, that there was a certain Levite sojourning in the remote mountains of Ephraim. He took for himself a concubine from Bethlehem in Judah. 2 But his concubine played the harlot against him, and went away from him to her father’s house at Bethlehem in Judah, and was there four whole months. 3 Then her husband arose and went after her, to speak kindly to her and bring her back, having his servant and a couple of donkeys with him. So she brought him into her father’s house; and when the father of the young woman saw him, he was glad to meet him. 4 Now his father-in-law, the young woman’s father, detained him; and he stayed with him three days. So they ate and drank and lodged there. 5 Then it happened on the fourth day that they arose early in the morning, and he stood to depart; but the young woman’s father said to his son-in-law, “Refresh your heart with a morsel of bread, and afterward go your way.” 6 So they sat down, and the two of them ate and drank together. Then the young woman’s father said to the man, “Please be content to stay all night, and let your heart be merry.” 7 And when the man stood to depart, his father-inlaw urged him; so he lodged there again. 8 Then he arose early in the morning on the fifth day to depart, but the young woman’s father said, “Please refresh your heart.” So they delayed until afternoon; and both of them ate. 9 And when the man stood to depart–he and his concubine and his servant–his father-in-law, the young woman’s father, said to him, “Look, the day is now drawing toward evening; please spend the night. See, the day is coming to an end; lodge here, that your heart may be merry. Tomorrow go your way early, so that you may get home.” 10 But the man was not willing to spend that night; so he rose and departed, and came to a place opposite Jebus (that is, Jerusalem). With him were the two saddled donkeys; his concubine was also with him. 11 They were near Jebus, and the day was far spent; and the servant said to his master, “Come, please, and let us turn aside into this city of the Jebusites and lodge in it.” 12 But his master said to him, “We will not turn aside here into a city of foreigners, who are not of the sons of Israel; we will go on to Gibeah.” 13 So he said to his servant, “Come, let us draw near to one of these places, and spend the night in Gibeah or in Ramah.” 14 And they passed by and went their way; and the sun went down on them near Gibeah, which belongs to Benjamin. 15 They turned aside there to go in to lodge in Gibeah. And when he went in, he sat down in the open square of the city, for no one would take them into his house to spend the night. 16 Just then an old man came in from his work in the field at evening, who also was from the mountains of

Zloçin u Gibei

Dogodilo se u ono vrijeme, kad joæ nije bilo kralja u Izraelu, boravio je jedan Levit na kraju gore Efraimove kao doæljak. On je sebi uzeo djevojku iz Betlehema u Judi za suloœnicu. 2 Suloœnica njegova bila mu je nevjerna, pa otiæla od njega natrag u svoju oçinsku kuøu u Betlehem u Judi, i bila je ondje veø çetiri mjeseca. 3 Kad je ustao njezin muœ otiæao je za njom da je nagovori neka se vrati. On je imao sobom momka svojega i dva magarca. Kad ga ona uvela u kuøu svojega oca i kad ga pogledao djevojçin otac, izaæao mu veselo u susret. 4 Jer ga je njegov tast, djevojçin otac, zadrœavao, ostao je tri dana kod njega. Zajedno su jeli i pili, i ondje su noøili. 5 I dogodilo se çetvrti dan, kad su bili rano ustali, i on htio iøi, rekao je otac djevojçin svojemu zetu: “Okrijepi se joæ zalogajem kruha, pa onda moœete putovati.” 6 Sjeli su oni, i obojica su zajedno jeli i pili. Onda je zamolio otac djevojçina muœa: “Hajde budi zadovoljan, pa joæ jedanput prenoøi i budi veseo.” 7 A kad je çovjek ustao da ide, navalio je na njega njegov tast, da joæ jedanput prenoøi. 8 Kad se petoga dana podigao rano ujutro da ide, zamolio je opet djevojçin otac: “Ali okrijepi se najprije i çekajte dok se dan nagne na zapad!” I tako su jeli obojica zajedno. 9 Kad je onda çovjek ustao da ide zajedno sa svojom suloœnicom i sa svojim slugom, rekao mu njegov tast, otac djevojçin: “Eto, dan se nagnuo na zapad i sad øe veçer. Prenoøite ovdje! Eto, dan je na zalasku, prenoøi ovdje i budi veseo! Sutra moœete onda uraniti na put i moœeæ se vratiti kuøi.” 10 Ali çovjek nije htio joæ jedanput prenoøiti, nego je ustao, otiæao i doæao je do u blizinu Jebusa, a to je Jeruzalem. Imao je sobom dva osedlana magarca, i njegova suloœnica bila je s njim. 11 Kad su bili kod Jebusa, a dan se bio veø jako nagnuo, rekao je sluga svojem gospodaru: “Hajde, svratimo se u taj jebusejski grad i prenoøimo u njemu.” 12 A njegov gospodar mu rekao: “Neøemo se svraøati u tuåi grad, koji ne pripada Izraelovim sinovima, nego øemo iøi dalje do Gibee.” 13 Joæ je rekao svojem sluzi: “Hajde brœe da stignemo u koje od tih mjesta i da prenoøimo u Gibei ili u Rami.” 14 Tako su otiæli dalje svojim putom. Sunce im zaåe kad su bili u blizini Gibee, koja je Benjaminova. 15 Ovamo se svratili da prenoøe u Gibei. Kad je bio unutra i sjeo na gradskom trgu, nije bilo nikoga, koji bi ih primio u svoju kuøu da prenoøe. 16 Onda se uveçer vraøao jedan starac sa svojega posla u polju.

Then all the sons of Israel came out, from Dan to Beer-Sheba, as well as from the land of Gilead, and the congregation gathered together as one man before the LORD at Mizpah. 2 And the leaders of all the people, all the tribes of Israel, presented themselves in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand foot soldiers who drew the sword. 3 (Now the sons of Benjamin heard that the sons of Israel had gone up to Mizpah.) Then the sons of Israel said, “Tell us, how did this wicked deed happen?” 4 So the Levite, the husband of the woman who was murdered, answered and said, “My concubine and I went into Gibeah, which belongs to Benjamin, to

Now the men of Israel had sworn an oath at Mizpah, saying, “None of us shall give his daughter to Benjamin as a wife.” 2 Then the people came to the house of God, and remained there before God till evening. They lifted up their voices and wept bitterly, 3 and said, “O LORD God of Israel, why has this come to pass in Israel, that today there should be one tribe missing in Israel?” 4 So it was, on the next morning, that the people rose early and built an altar there, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. 5 The sons of Israel said, “Who is there among all the tribes of Israel who did not come up with the assembly to the LORD?” For they had made a great oath concerning anyone who had not come up to the LORD at Mizpah, saying, “He shall surely be put to death.” 6 And the sons of Israel grieved for Benjamin their brother, and said, “One tribe is cut off from Israel today. 7 What shall we do for wives for those who remain, seeing we have sworn by the LORD that we will not give them our daughters as wives?” 8 And they said, “What one is there from the tribes of Israel who did not come up to Mizpah to the LORD?” And, in fact, no one had come to the camp from Jabesh Gilead to the assembly. 9 For when the people were counted, indeed, not one of the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead was there. 10 So the congregation sent out there twelve thousand of their most valiant men, and commanded them, saying, “Go and strike the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead with the edge of the sword, including the women and children. 11 And this is the thing that you shall do: You shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman who has known a man intimately.” 12 So they found among the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead four hundred young virgins who had not known a man intimately; and they brought them to the camp at Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan. 13 Then the whole congregation sent word to the sons of Benjamin who were at the rock of Rimmon, and announced peace to them. 14 So Benjamin came back at that time, and they gave them the women whom they had saved alive of the women of Jabesh Gilead; and yet they had not found enough for them. 15 And the people grieved for Benjamin, because the LORD had made a void in the tribes of Israel. 16 Then the elders of the congregation said, “What shall we do for wives for those who remain, since the women of Benjamin have been destroyed?” 17 And they said, “There must be an inheritance for the survivors of Benjamin, that a tribe may not be destroyed from Israel. 18 However, we cannot give them wives from our

Nanovo se podiglo pleme Benjaminovo

Izraelovi sinovi bili su se zakleli u Mispi: “Ni jedan od nas neøe dati svoju køer za œenu sinu Benjaminovu.” 2 Kad je onda narod bio otiæao u Betel i ondje do veçeri boravio kod svetiæta, podigli svoj glas i poçeli su glasno plakati, 3 govoreøi: “Zaæto se, Gospodine, Boœe Izraelov, moralo ovo dogoditi u Izraelu, da danas nestane jednoga cijelog plemena iz Izraela?” 4 Sutradan rano napravili su ondje œrtvenik i prinijeli su œrtve paljenice i œrtve mirotvorne. 5 Onda su upitali Izraelovi sinovi, govoreøi: “Tko od svih Izraelovih plemena nije doæao na skupætinu Gospodinu?” Bili su se, naime, sveçanom zakletvom zaprijetili svakomu, koji ne bi doæao u Mispu Gospodinu: “Neka se kazni smrøu!” 6 A sad se Izraelovim sinovima saœalilo na njihovo bratsko pleme Benjaminovo, i jadikovali su: “Jedno se, eto, pleme iskorijeni iz Izraela. 7 Kako da pomognemo onima koji su preostali da bi imali œene, kad smo se zakleli Gospodinu, da im ne damo svojih køeri za œene?” 8 I kad su pitali nije li tko iz Izraelovih plemena doæao u Mispu Gospodinu, opazilo se da nije bio nitko doæao iz Jabeæa u Gileadu u tabor na skupætinu. 9 Prebrojili su narod i pokazalo se da nije bilo ondje nijednoga od onih koji su boravili u Jabeæu u Gileadu. 10 Onda je poslala zajednica onamo dvanaest tisuøa od najhrabrijih ljudi i zapovjedila im: “Idite i pobijte stanovnike u Jabeæu u Gileadu maçem, i œene i djecu!” 11 Imate pritom ovako postupati: “Poubijte sve muæko i sve œensko æto je spoznalo, leœalo sa çovjekom!” 12 Naæli su onda meåu stanovnicima Jabeæa u Gileadu çetiri stotine djevojaka, koje nisu bile poznale çovjeka, i doveli ih u tabor u Æilo u zemlji Kanaanaca. 13 Onda je poslala sva zajednica i poruçila Benjaminovim sinovima, koji su bili kod hridine Rimona, i ponudila im slobodno podruçje. 14 Nato se vratili sinovi Benjaminovi natrag. Dali su im djevojke koje su ostavili na œivotu izmeåu œena iz Jabeæa u Gileadu, ali ih nije bilo dosta za njih. 15 Jer je narodu bilo œao Benjaminovih sinova æto je Gospodin smanjio pleme Izraelovo. 16 Upitale su starjeæine zajednice: “Kako øemo pomoøi ovima koji su preostali da bi imali œene, otkako su nestale œene iz plemena Benjaminova?” 17 Rekli su: “Preostalim Benjaminovim sinovima ostaje joæ samo posjed, ali ne smije

THE BOOK OF RUTH

KNJIGA RUTINA Ruta putuje s Noemom u Betlehem

Now it happened, in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehem, Judah, went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he and his wife and his two sons. 2 The name of the man was Elimelech, the name of his wife was Naomi, and the names of his two sons were Mahlon and Chilion–Ephrathites of Bethlehem, Judah. And they went to the country of Moab and remained there. 3 Then Elimelech, Naomi’s husband, died; and she was left, and her two sons. 4 Now they took wives of the women of Moab: the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth. And they dwelt there about ten years. 5 Then both Mahlon and Chilion also died; so the woman survived her two sons and her husband. 6 Then she arose with her daughters-in-law that she might return from the country of Moab, for she had heard in the country of Moab that the LORD had visited his people in giving them bread. 7 Therefore she went out from the place where she was, and her two daughters-in-law with her; and they went on the way to return to the land of Judah. 8 And Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, “Go, return each to her mother’s house. The LORD deal kindly with you, as you have dealt with the dead and with me. 9 The LORD grant that you may find rest, each in the house of her husband.” Then she kissed them, and they lifted up their voices and wept. 10 And they said to her, “Surely we will return with you to your people.” 11 But Naomi said, “Turn back, my daughters; why will you go with me? Are there still sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?

I dogodilo se u vrijeme kad su joæ vla dali suci, nastala je glad u zemlji. Onda se odselio iz Betlehema u Judi jedan çovjek sa svojom œenom i sa svoja dva sina. Mislio se nastaniti u Moapskoj zemlji. 2 Taj se çovjek zvao Elimelek, œena se njegova zvala Noema, dva njegova sina zvala su se Mahlon i Kilion. Oni su bili Efraøani iz Betlehema u Judi. Kad su bili doæli u moapsku zemlju i ondje se nastanili. 3 Onda je umro Elimelek, muœ Noemin, a ona je ostala sa svoja dva sina. 4 Oni se oœenili Moabkama: jedna se zvala Orpah, druga Ruta. Oni su boravili ondje jedno deset godina. 5 Onda su umrla i oba sina, Mahlon i Kilion. Tako iza smrti svojih sinova i svojega muœa je ostala œena sama. 6 Onda se ona podigla sa svojim snahama da se vrati natrag iz Moapske zemlje. Bila je, naime, doznala u Moapskoj zemlji, da je Gospodin pohodio svoj narod i opet mu dao kruha. 7 I tako je ona, sa svoje dvije snahe ostavila mjesto gdje je stanovala do sada; i one su poæle putom, da se natrag vrate u zemlju Judinu, 8 Stoga je rekla Noema svojim dvjema snahama: “Idite, vratite se natrag, svaka u kuøu svoje majke! Neka vam Gospodin naplati ljubav, koju ste iskazale umrlima i meni! 9 Neka vam Gospodin dade da naåete mir, svaka u kuøi svojega muœa!” Onda ih poljubila, a one su poçele glasno plakati. 10 One su joj rekle: “Ne, mi øemo tebe pratiti kuøi k tvojem narodu.”

And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband’s, a man of great wealth, of the family of Elimelech; his name was Boaz. 2 So Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, “Please let me go to the field, and glean heads of grain after him in whose sight I may find favor.” And she said to her, “Go, my daughter.” 3 Then she left, and went and gleaned in the field after the reapers. And she happened to come to the part of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech. 4 Now behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said to the reapers, “The LORD be with you!” And they answered him, “The LORD bless you!” 5 Then Boaz said to his servant who was in charge of the reapers, “Whose young woman is this?” 6 So the servant who was in charge of the reapers answered and said, “It is the young Moabite woman who came back with Naomi from the country of Moab. 7 And she said, ‘Please let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves.’ So she came and has continued from morning until now, though she rested a little in the house.” 8 Then Boaz said to Ruth, “You will listen, my daughter, will you not? Do not go to glean in another field, nor go from here, but stay close by my young women. 9 Let your eyes be on the field which they reap, and

Ruta na polju Boazovu

Noema je imala roåaka po muœu, çovjeka vrlo bogata iz roda Elimelekova, po imenu Boaza. 2 I jednoga je dana Moabka Ruta rekla Noemi: “Rado bih iziæla u polje, i ako mi se dopusti, pabirçila bih klasje.” Ona je odgovorila: “Idi, draga køeri!” 3 I ona otiæla, i pabirçila je u polju za œeteocima. Dogodilo se, te je doæla na njivu Boazovu, koji je bio od roda Elimelekova. 4 Upravo je doæao Boaz iz Betlehema i pozdravio œeteoce: “Gospodin s vama!” Oni su odgovorili: “Gospodin te blagoslivljao!” 5 Onda je upitao Boaz slugu koji je nadzirao œeteoce: “Çija je ovo djevojka?” 6 Odgovorio je sluga, koji je nadzirao œeteoce, govoreøi: “To je Moabka, djevojka koja je s Noemom doæla iz Moapske zemlje. 7 Molila je: ‘Rado bih pabirçila i kupila klasje izmeåu snopova za œeteocima.’ I doæla je i od ranoga jutra do sada bila je na nogama, i jedva da je samo malo otpoçinula.” 8 Onda je Boaz rekao Ruti: “Sluæaj, køeri moja, nemoj iøi na njivu koga drugoga pabirçiti, i ne odlazi odavde, nego se drœi mojih djevojaka! 9 Pazi na kojoj njivi one œanju, pa idi za njima!

Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children. 3 This man went up from his city yearly to worship

U Ramataim Sofimu œivio jedan çovjek iz gore Efraimove po imenu Elkana, sin Jerohama, sina Elihua, sina Tohua, sina Zufova, Efraimljanin. 2 Imao je dvije œene. Jedna se zvala Ana, druga Penina. Penina je imala djece, a Ana je bila bez djece.

Zaæto niæta ne jedeæ? why do you weep? Why do you not eat? And why is Zaæto si tako turobna? Nisam li ti ja vredniji your heart grieved?

Upravo je sjedio and drinking in Shiloh. Now Eli the priest was sitting sveøenik Eli na stolici na pragu Gospodinova on the seat by the doorpost of the tabernacle of the svetiæta. 10 I s tugom u srcu molila se ona gorko plaçuøi LORD. 10 And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to Gospodinu, 11 Onda se zavjetovala i rekla: “Gospodine vothe LORD and wept in anguish. 11 Then she made a vow and said, “O LORD of hosts, jska, ako pogledaæ na muku svoje sluækinje i if you will indeed look on the affliction of your maid- spomeneæ me se i ne zaboraviæ svoje sluækiservant and remember me, and not forget your nje, nego darujeæ svojoj sluækinji sina, onda øu maidservant, but will give your maidservant a male ga ja, dok je god œiv, posvetiti Gospodinu, i child, then I will give him to the LORD all the days of his britva neøe doøi na njegovu glavu.” 12 Dok se ona tako dugo molila pred Gospodilife, and no razor shall come upon his head.” 12 And it happened, as she continued praying be- nom, promatrao je Eli njezina usta. 13 A Ana je govorila tiho u sebi; samo su se mifore the LORD, that Eli watched her mouth. 13 Now Hannah spoke in her heart; only her lips cale njezine usne, a glas joj se nije mogao çuti. moved, but her voice was not heard. Therefore Eli Stoga je Eli pomislio da je pijana. 14 Eli ju upitao: “Dokle øeæ biti pijana?

I have drunk neither piøa nisam pila, nego sam izlila svoju duæu pred wine nor intoxicating drink, but have poured out my Gospodinom. 16 Nemoj drœati svoju sluækinju za nevaljalu soul before the LORD. 16 Do not consider your maidservant a wicked œenu! Samo od velike brige i tuge tako sam se woman, for out of the abundance of my complaint molila.” 17 Onda joj odgovorio Eli rekavæi: “Idi s mirom, and grief I have spoken until now.” 17 Then Eli answered and said, “Go in peace, and i Bog Izraelov ispunit øe tvoju molbu koju si mu the God of Israel grant your petition which you have upravila.” 18 Ona je rekla: “Neka naåe tvoja sluækinja miasked of him.” 18 And she said, “Let your maidservant find favor in lost u tvojim oçima!” Onda je otiæla œena svojim your sight.” So the woman went her way and ate, and putom i jela je i nije viæe bila œalosna. 19 Kad su sutradan rano obavili svoj poklon her face was no longer sad. 19 Then they rose early in the morning and pred Gospodinom, vratili se natrag svojoj kuøi u worshiped before the LORD, and returned and came Ramu.

Now it happened when Samuel was old that he made his sons judges over Israel. 2 The name of his firstborn was Joel, and the name of his second, Abijah; they were judges in BeerSheba. 3 But his sons did not walk in his ways; they turned aside after dishonest gain, took bribes, and perverted justice. 4 Then all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah, 5 and said to him, “Look, you are old, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now make for us a king to judge us like all the nations.” 6 But the thing displeased Samuel when they said, “Give us a king to judge us.” So Samuel prayed to the

Izrael traœi uspostavu kralja

I dogodilo se, kad je Samuel bio ostario, postavio je svoje sinove za suce nad Izraelom. 2 Njegovu prvoroåencu bilo je ime Joel, a njegov drugi sin Abija; oni su bili suci u Beer-Æebi. 3 Ali njegovi sinovi nisu iæli njegovim putovima, nego su gledali za dobitkom, primali su poklone i izvrtali pravdu. 4 Onda se skupile sve starjeæine Izraelove, doæle su Samuelu u Ramu, 5 i rekle mu: “Eto, ti si ostario, a tvoji sinovi ne idu tvojim putovima. Postavi dakle kralja nad nama, da nas upravlja, kako je to kod svih naroda!” 6 A Samuelu nije bio po volji njihov zahtjev:

There was a man of Benjamin whose name was Kish the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Bechorath, the son of Aphiah, a Benjamite, a mighty man of power. 2 And he had a son whose name was Saul, a choice and handsome young man. There was not a more handsome person than he among the sons of Israel. From his shoulders upward he was taller than any of the people. 3 Now the donkeys of Kish, Saul’s father, were lost. And Kish said to his son Saul, “Please, take one of the servants with you, and arise, go and look for the donkeys.” 4 So he passed through the mountains of Ephraim and through the land of Shalisha, but they did not find them. Then they passed through the land of Shaalim, and they were not there. Then he passed through the land of the Benjamites, but they did not find them. 5 When they had come to the land of Zuph, Saul said

Onda je œivio jedan çovjek od plemena Benjaminova po imenu Kiæ, sin Abiela, sina Serora, sina Bekorata, sina Afiahe, Benjaminovac, çovjek imuøan. 2 On je imao sina po imenu Saula, mlada i lijepa. Ni jedan izmeåu Izraelovih sinova nije bio ljepæi od njega. Od ramena gore nadvisivao je sve druge. 3 Kad je jednoø Kiæu, ocu Saulovu, bilo nestalo magarica, rekao je Kiæ svojem sinu Saulu: “Uzmi sobom jednoga momka i zaputi se traœiti magarice!” 4 Tako je proæao goru Efraimovu i proæao zemlju Æaliæu, ali ih nije naæao. I proæli su zemlju Æaalim, ali zaludu. Onda su otiæli kroz podruçje Benjaminovo, ali ih nisu naæli. 5 Kad su doæli u zemlju Zuf, rekao je Saul momku koji je bio s njim: “Hajde, vratimo se, inaçe øe se moj otac brinuti za nas umjesto za magarice.” 6 On mu rekao: “Ovdje u ovom gradu œivi Boœji

Saul reigned one year; and when he had reigned two years over Israel, 2 Saul chose for himself three thousand men of Israel. Two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in the mountains of Bethel, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin. The rest of the people he sent away, every man to his tent. 3 And Jonathan attacked the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba, and the Philistines heard of it. Then Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, “Let the Hebrews hear!” 4 Now all Israel heard it said that Saul had attacked a garrison of the Philistines, and that Israel had also become an abomination to the Philistines. And the people were called together to Saul at Gilgal. 5 Then the Philistines gathered together to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the seashore in multitude. And they came up and encamped in Michmash, to the east of Beth Aven.

Rat protiv Filistejaca

Saul je kraljevao jednu godinu otkada je postao kralj, i kad je dvije godine vladao nad Izraelom, 2 Saul je izabrao sebi tri tisuøe ljudi izmeåu Izraelovih sinova: dvije tisuøe su ostali kod Saula u Mikmaæu i u gori Betelskoj, a jedna je tisuøa bila pod Jonatanom kod Gibee u Benjaminu. Ostali je narod raspustio, svakoga svojem æatoru. 3 Jonatan je napao filistejski tabor koji je bio u Gebi, a Filistejci su çuli za to. Onda je Saul dao po cijeloj zemlji trubiti u trube i oglasiti: “Hebrejci neka çuju!” 4 Sav je Izrael doçuo vijest: “Saul je napao filistejski tabor i da je stoga sav Izrael omrznuo Filistejcima.” Onda je narod bi pozvan da ide k Saulu u Gilgal. 5 A Filistejci su se skupili da vojuju protiv Izraela: trideset tisuøa bojnih kola i æest tisuøa konjanika, a pjeæaka nebrojeno kao pijeska na morskoj obali. Oni su izaæli i utaborili se kod

Jednoga dana rekao Jonatan, sin Saulov, svojem nositelju oruœja: “Hajde idemo do filistejske straœe koja je na onoj strani!” A svojem ocu nije niæta rekao. 2 Saul je sjedio na drugom kraju Gibee pod mogranjevim stablom æto stoji kod Migrona. Naroda je bilo s njim oko æest stotina ljudi.

To ne smije biti! Tako mi œivoga tasted a little honey with the end of the rod that was Gospodina, ni jedna dlaka s njegove glave neøe pasti na zemlju, jer je s pomoøu Boœjom in my hand.

And when Saul saw any strong man or any valiant man, he took him for himself.

Samuel also said to Saul, “The LORD sent me to anoint you king over his people, over Israel. Now therefore, heed the voice of the words of the LORD. 2 Thus says the LORD of hosts: ‘I will punish what Amalek did to Israel, how he laid wait for him on the way when he came up from Egypt. 3 Now go and attack Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and do not spare them. But kill both man and woman, infant and nursing child, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.’ ” 4 So Saul gathered the people together and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand foot soldiers and ten thousand men of Judah. 5 And Saul came to a city of Amalek, and lay in wait in the valley. 6 Then Saul said to the Kenites, “Go, depart, get down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them. For you showed kindness to all the sons of Israel when they came up out of Egypt.” So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites. 7 And Saul attacked the Amalekites, from Havilah all the way to Shur, which is east of Egypt. 8 He also took Agag king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword. 9 But Saul and the people spared Agag and the best of the sheep, the oxen, the fatlings, the lambs, and all that was good, and were unwilling to utterly destroy them. But everything despised and worthless, that they utterly destroyed. 10 Now the word of the LORD came to Samuel, saying, 11 I greatly regret that I have set up Saul as king, for he has turned back from following me, and has not

Saulova pobjeda nad Amaleçanima

Jednoga dana Samuel je rekao Saulu: “Gospodin me je poslao da te pomaœem za kralja nad njegovim narodom Izraelom. Sluæaj dakle zapovijed Gospodinovu! 2 Ovako govori Gospodin vojska: “Kaznit øu æto je poçinio Amalek Izraelovim sinovima kad im je stao na put, kad su ono iæli iz Egipta. 3 Zato idi i udari Amaleka, i potpuno uniæti sve æto pripada njemu! Ne ætedi ga, nego pobij çovjeka i œenu, dijete i dojençe, govedo i ovcu, devu i magarca!” 4 Onda Saul skupio narod i izbrojio ih u Telaimu: dvjesta tisuøa pjeæaka i deset tisuøa ljudi Judejaca. 5 Potom je poæao Saul protiv glavnoga grada Amaleçana i namjestio zasjedu u dolini potoka. 6 A Kenejcima poruçio Saul: “Ustanite! Povucite se brœe iz podruçja Amaleçana da vas ne uniætim s njima, jer vi ste se prijateljski ponijeli prema svim Izraelovim sinovima kad su iæli iz Egipta.” I povukli se Kinejci iz podruçja Amaleçana. 7 Saul je pobio Amaleçane od Havile do Æura, koji leœi istoçno od Egipta. 8 I uhvatio Agaga, kralja Amaleçana œivoga, i potpuno uniætio sav narod oætricom maça. 9 A Saul i narod saçuvao ipak Agaga i najbolje œivotinje izmeåu ovaca i goveda, ugojene œivotinje i janjce, uopøe sve valjano, a sve æto je bilo slabo i bezvrijedno potpuno su uniætili. 10 I doæla je rijeç Gospodinova Samuelu, govoreøi: 11 “Œalim æto sam Saula postavio kraljem, jer se on odvratio od mene i nije izvræio mojih zapovijedi.” To je raœalostilo Samuela i on je vapio

And kralja nad Izraelom. 18 I Gospodin te poslao i zapovjedio ti: ‘Idi i izdid not the LORD anoint you king over Israel? 18 Now the LORD sent you on a mission, and said, vræi prokletstvo na zlikovcima, Amaleçanima, i ‘Go, and utterly destroy the sinners, the Amalekites, vojuj na njih, dok ih ne uniætiæ!’ 19 Zaæto nisi posluæao zapovijedi Gospodinoand fight against them until they are consumed.’ 19 Why then did you not obey the voice of the LORD? ve, nego si se bacio na plijen i uçinio æto je neuWhy did you swoop down on the spoil, and do evil in godno bilo u oçima Gospodinovim.” 20 Saul je rekao Samuelu: “Posluæao sam zathe sight of the LORD?” 20 And Saul said to Samuel, “But I have obeyed the povijed Gospodinovu i iæao sam putom na koji voice of the LORD, and gone on the mission on which me poslao Gospodin, doveo sam Agaga, kralja the LORD sent me, and brought back Agag king of Amaleçana; potpuno sam uniætio Amaleçane. 21 Ali je narod uzeo od plijena ovce i volove, Amalek; I have utterly destroyed the Amalekites. 21 But the people took of the plunder, sheep and najbolje od prokletih stvari, da to œrtvuje Gosoxen, the best of the things which should have been podinu, tvojem Bogu, u Gilgalu.” utterly destroyed, to sacrifice to the LORD your God in 22 A Samuel je rekao: “Zar su ugodnije Gospodinu œrtve paljenice i zaklanice od posluænosti Gilgal.” 22 Then Samuel said: “Has the LORD as great delight prema Gospodinovim zapovijedima? Eto, poin burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the sluænost je bolja od œrtve, pokornost bolja od voice of the LORD?

Nevertheless Samuel mourned for jer je Samuel œalio Saula, æto je Gospodin Saul, and the LORD regretted that he had made Saul poœalio da je uçinio Saula kraljem nad Izraelom. king over Israel.

Then the LORD said to Samuel, “How long will you mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill your horn with oil, and go; I am sending you to Jesse the Bethlehemite. For I have provided myself a king among his sons.” 2 And Samuel said, “How can I go? If Saul hears it, he will kill me.” And the LORD said, “Take a heifer with you, and say, ‘I have come to sacrifice to the LORD.’ 3 Then invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what you shall do; you shall anoint for me the one I name to you.” 4 So Samuel did what the LORD said, and went to Bethlehem. And the elders of the town trembled at his coming, and said, “Do you come peaceably?” 5 And he said, “Peaceably; I have come to sacrifice to the LORD. Sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice.” Then he sanctified Jesse and his sons, and invited them to the sacrifice. 6 So it was, when they came, that he looked at Eliab and said, “Surely the Lord’s anointed is before him.” 7 But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have refused him. For the LORD does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.” 8 So Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, “Neither has the LORD chosen this one.” 9 Then Jesse made Shammah pass by. And he said, “Neither has the LORD chosen this one.” 10 Thus Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse, “The LORD has not chosen these.” 11 And Samuel said to Jesse, “Are all the young men here?” Then he said, “There remains yet the youngest, and there he is, keeping the sheep.” And Samuel said to Jesse, “Send and bring him. For we will not sit down till he comes here.” 12 So he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, with bright eyes, and good-looking. And the LORD said, “Arise, anoint him; for this is the one!” 13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel arose and went to Ramah. 14 But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and a distressing spirit from the LORD troubled him. 15 And Saul’s servants said to him, “Surely, a distressing spirit from God is troubling you. 16 Let our master now command your servants, who are before you, to seek out a man who is a skillful player on the harp; and it shall be that he will play it with his hand when the distressing spirit from God is upon you, and you shall be well.” 17 So Saul said to his servants, “Provide me now a man who can play well, and bring him to me.” 18 Then one of the servants answered and said, “Look, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, who is skillful in playing, a mighty man of valor, a man of war, prudent in speech, and a handsome person; and the LORD is with him.”

Davidovo pomazanje za kralja

Jednoga dana Gospodin je rekao Samuelu: “Dokle øeæ joæ œaliti za Saulom kad sam ga ja odbacio da kraljuje nad Izraelom! Napuni uljem svoj rog i hajde na put! Æaljem te k Jeseju iz Betlehema, jer sam izmeåu njegovih sinova izabrao sebi kralja.” 2 Samuel je odgovorio: “Kako da idem; ako to çuje Saul, ubit øe me!” A Gospodin je zapovjedio: “Uzmi sobom tele i kaœi: ‘Dolazim prinijeti œrtvu Gospodinu!’ 3 Pozovi na œrtvu Jeseja, a ja øu ti onda pokazati æto øeæ çiniti. Pomazat øeæ onoga koga ti oznaçim!” 4 Samuel je uçinio kako mu je zapovjedio Gospodin. Kad je doæao u Betlehem, izaæli su mu–bojeøi se–u susret starjeæine mjesta i upitali: “Znaçi li tvoj dolazak dobro?” 5 On je odgovorio: “Jest, dolazim da prinesem Gospodinu œrtvu. Posvetite se i naåite se sa mnom kod œrtve!” I Jeseja i njegove sinove dao je da se posvete i pozvao ih na œrtvu. 6 Kad su doæli i kad je on pogledao Eliaba, pomislio je: “Jamaçno stoji ovdje pred Gospodinom njegov pomazanik.” 7 Ali Gospodin je rekao Samuelu: “Ne gledaj na njegovu vanjætinu i na njegov visoki rast, jer sam ga odbacio. Gospodin ne gleda kao æto çovjek gleda; jer çovjek gleda na vanjætinu, a Gospodin gleda na srce.” 8 I dozvao Jesej Abinadaba i doveo ga pred Samuela. A on je rekao: “Ni njega nije izabrao Gospodin.” 9 I doveo Jesej Æamaha. A on je rekao: “Ni njega nije izabrao Gospodin.” 10 Tako je doveo Jesej pred Samuela sedam svojih sinova, ali Samuel je izjavio Jeseju: “Ove nije izabrao Gospodin.” 11 Tada je Samuel rekao Jeseju: “Jesu li svi mladi ljudi ovdje?” On je odgovorio: “Ostao je joæ najmlaåi; on çuva ovce.” Samuel je rekao Jeseju: “Poæalji i dovedi ga, jer neøemo prije sjedati za stol dok on ne doåe.” 12 I poslao, te ga doveo. A on je bio rumen, imao je lijepe oçi i krasni stas. I Gospodin je rekao: “Ustani i pomaœi ga, jer to je on!” 13 Samuel je uzeo rog s uljem i pomazao ga usred njegove braøe. Od toga dana i dalje je dolazio Duh Gospodinov na Davida. A Samuel je ustao i vratio se kuøi u Ramu. 14 Duh Gospodinov je odstupio od Saula, a poçeo ga muçiti zao duh od Gospodina. 15 I sluge Saulove rekle su mu: “Eto, muçi te zao duh od Boga. 16 Neka sada naæ gospodar samo progovori rijeç, tvoje sluge stoje ti na sluœbu da potraœe çovjeka, koji zna svirati na harfu. Kad zao duh od Gospodina doåe na tebe, on øe zasvirati na œice i tebi øe biti bolje.” 17 Saul je rekao svojim slugama: “Potraœite mi nekoga koji zna lijepo svirati na œice, pa mi ga dovedite!”

-3451 Samuel 1 Samuel 19 Therefore Saul sent messengers to Jesse, and 18 Jedan od slugu je rekao: “Poznam ovdje said, “Send me your son David, who is with the jednoga sina Jesejeva u Betlehemu, koji umije lijepo svirati na harfu. On je hrabar junak, prosheep.” 20 And Jesse took a donkey loaded with bread, a kuæan ratnik, uz to mudro govori i lijepe je vanjskin of wine, and a young goat, and sent them by his ætine, i Gospodin je s njim.” 19 Onda je Saul poslao glasnike k Jeseju i son David to Saul. 21 So David came to Saul and stood before him. And poruçio mu: “Poæalji mi svojega sina Davida, he loved him greatly, and he became his koji je pastir!” 20 A Jesej natovario na magarca kruha, mjeæiarmorbearer. 22 Then Saul sent to Jesse, saying, “Please let David nu vina i jedno jare i poslao Saulu po svojem stand before me, for he has found favor in my sight.” sinu Davidu. 23 And so it was, whenever the spirit from God was 21 Tako je doæao David k Saulu i stupio u njeupon Saul, that David would take a harp and play it govu sluœbu.

David na dvoru Saulovu

And Saul set him over the men of svojim ratnicima. Bio je voljen od svega narowar, and he was accepted in the sight of all the peo- da, pa i od Saulovih dvorana. 6 Kad se David, ubivæi Filistejca vraøao, izaæle ple and also in the sight of Saul’s servants. 6 Now it had happened as they were coming home, su œene kod ulaska iz svih Izraelovih gradova when David was returning from the slaughter of the pjevajuøi i pleæuøi u susret kralju Saulu s bubPhilistine, that the women had come out of all the njevima, klicanjem i cimbalima. cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King 7 Pritom su œene pleæuøi pjevale: “Saul je pobio Saul, with tambourines, with joy, and with musical svoju tisuøu, a David svojih deset tisuøa.” 8 Saul se stoga vrlo razgnjevio, jer mu ta instruments. 7 So the women sang as they danced, and said: pjesma nije bila nikako po volji. On je rekao: “Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten “Davidu daju deset tisuøa, a meni samo tisuøu; joæ mu samo treba kraljevsko dostojanstvo.” thousands.” 8 Then Saul was very angry, and the saying dis- 9 Od onoga dana i dalje gledao je Saul Davida pleased him; and he said, “They have ascribed to poprijeko.

And sada moœeæ biti zet.” 22 I Saul je zapovjedio svojim dvoranima: “Gothey told Saul, and the thing pleased him. 21 So Saul said, “I will give her to him, that she may vorite Davidu povjerljivo i recite mu: “Eto, omilio be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines si kralju, i svi njegovi dvorani vole te, pa sada may be against him.” Therefore Saul said to David a moœeæ biti kraljev zet.” 23 Kad su Saulovi dvorani tako govorili Davidu, second time, “You shall be my son-in-law today.” 22 And Saul commanded his servants, “Communi- rekao je David: “Mislite li vi da je tako lako biti cate with David secretly, and say, ‘Look, the king has kraljev zet, s obzirom da sam siromah i malen delight in you, and all his servants love you.

And so it was, whenever they went out, that David behaved more wisely than all the servants of Saul, so that his name became highly esteemed.

19

Now Saul spoke to Jonathan his son and to all his servants, that they should kill David; but Jonathan, Saul’s son, delighted much in David. 2 So Jonathan told David, saying, “My father Saul seeks to kill you. Therefore please be on your guard until morning, and stay in a secret place and hide. 3 And I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, and I will speak with my father about you. Then what I observe, I will tell you.” 4 Now Jonathan spoke well of David to Saul his father, and said to him, “Let not the king sin against his servant, against David, because he has not sinned against you, and because his works have been very good toward you. 5 For he took his life in his hands and killed the Philistine, and the LORD brought about a great salvation for all Israel. You saw it and rejoiced. Why then will you sin against innocent blood, to kill David without a cause?” 6 So Saul heeded the voice of Jonathan, and Saul swore, “As the LORD lives, he shall not be killed.” 7 Then Jonathan called David, and Jonathan told him all these things. So Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence as in times past. 8 And there was war again; and David went out and fought with the Philistines, and struck them with a mighty blow, and they fled from him. 9 Now the distressing spirit from the LORD came upon Saul as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand. And David was playing music with his hand. 10 Then Saul sought to pin David to the wall with the spear, but he slipped away from Saul’s presence; and he drove the spear into the wall. So David fled and escaped that night. 11 Saul also sent messengers to David’s house to watch him and to kill him in the morning. And Michal, David’s wife, told him, saying, “If you do not save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed.” 12 So Michal let David down through a window. And he went and fled and escaped. 13 And Michal took an image and laid it in the bed, put a cover of goats’ hair for his head, and covered it with clothes. 14 So when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, “He is sick.” 15 Then Saul sent the messengers back to see David, saying, “Bring him up to me in the bed, that I

Saulova otvorena mrœnja na Davida

Saul je govorio svojem sinu Jonatanu i svim svojim dvoranima o tomu da on hoøe ubiti Davida. A Jonatan, Sin Saulov, vrlo je volio Davida. 2 Tako je to Jonatan javio Davidu i rekao: “Moj otac Saul kani te ubiti. Zato se çuvaj i sutra rano povuci se u skroviæte i sakrij se! 3 Ja øu iziøi i u polju, gdje ti budeæ, stajat øu uz svojega oca, govorit øu o tebi sa svojim ocem, pa æto doznam, javit øu ti.” 4 A Jonatan je govorio pred svojim ocem Saulom samo dobro o Davidu. On mu rekao: “Kralj neka ne sagrijeæi zbog svojega sluge Davida, jer on tebi nije niæta skrivio, dapaçe djela su njegova vrlo dobra za tebe. 5 On je svoj œivot stavio u opasnost i Filistejca ubio, i tako je dao svemu Izraelu veliku pobjedu. Ti si to vidio i radovao si se. Zaæto, dakle, da sagrijeæiæ zbog neduœne krvi i Davida ubijeæ ni za æto? 6 Saul je posluæao Jonatana i zakleo se: “Tako mi œivoga Gospodina, on neøe poginuti!” 7 I Jonatan je dozvao Davida, i rekao mu Jonatan sve ovo. Onda je doveo Jonatan Davida k Saulu i on je ostao pred njim kao i prije. 8 Kad je rat ponovno buknuo, David je izaæao na polje, pobio se s Filistejcima i jako ih porazio, tako da su pobjegli pred njim. 9 Jednoga dana opet je napao Saula zao duh od Gospodina. Sjedio je u svojem dvoru i imao sulicu u ruci, a David je svirao na harfu. 10 I Saul htjedne Davida svojom sulicom pribiti uza zid, ali se on izmaknuo Saulu, te je sulica udarila u zid. I David je pobjegao i sklonio se te noøi. 11 One noøi poslao Saul ljude Davidovoj kuøi da ga çuvaju i drugog jutra ubiju, ali Mikala, œena Davidova, javila mu to i rekla: “Ako se joæ noøaæ ne skloniæ na sigurno mjesto, sutra øeæ biti mrtav.” 12 I Mikala je spustila Davida kroz prozor. On je otiæao, pobjegao i izmaknuo. 13 Mikala je uzela kip, stavila ga u postelju, prekrila mu glavu pleterom od kozje dlake i pokrila ga pokrivaçem. 14 Kad je Saul poslao ljude da uhvate Davida, ona je rekla: “Bolestan je.”

Onda otiæao sa Samuelom i stanoat Naioth in Ramah!” 20 Then Saul sent messengers to take David. And vali su u proroçkoj kuøi. when they saw the group of prophets prophesying, 19 Kad se javilo Saulu, govoreøi: “Eno, David je and Samuel standing as leader over them, the Spirit u proroçkoj kuøi u Rami.” of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they 20 Onda je Saul poslao ljude, da uhvate Davida.

Sav dan i svu noø leœao je tu gol. Zato se govori: “Je li i Saul meåu prorocima?”

20

Then David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and went and said to Jonathan, “What have I done? What is my iniquity, and what is my sin before your father, that he seeks my life?” 2 So Jonathan said to him, “By no means! You shall not die! Indeed, my father will do nothing either great or small without first telling me. And why should my father hide this thing from me? It is not so!” 3 Then David took an oath again, and said, “Your father certainly knows that I have found favor in your eyes, and he says, ‘Do not let Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved.’ But truly, as the LORD lives and as your soul lives, there is but a step between me and death.” 4 So Jonathan said to David, “Whatever you yourself desire, I will do it for you.” 5 And David said to Jonathan, “Indeed tomorrow is the New Moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king to eat. But let me go, that I may hide in the field until the third day at evening. 6 If your father misses me at all, then say, ‘David earnestly asked permission of me that he might run over to Bethlehem, his city, for there is a yearly sacrifice there for all the family.’ 7 If he says thus: ‘It is well,’ your servant will be safe. But if he is very angry, then be sure that evil is determined by him. 8 Therefore you shall deal kindly with your servant, for you have brought your servant into a covenant of the LORD with you. Nevertheless, if there is iniquity in me, kill me yourself, for why should you bring me to your father?” 9 And Jonathan said, “Far be it from you! For if I knew

David i Jonatan

A David je pobjegao iz Najota u Rami i otiæao i rekao Jonatanu: “Æto sam poçinio? U çemu su moja zlodjela i moj prekræaj protiv tvojega oca da me hoøe ubiti?” 2 On mu rekao: “Saçuvaj Boœe! Ti neøeæ umrijeti. Eto, moj otac ne çini niæta, ni malo ni veliko, a da meni to ne kaœe. Zaæto bi mi to moj otac tajio? Neøe to biti.” 3 Ali mu David opet rekao: “Tvoj otac zna vrlo dobro da me ti voliæ, i zato je rekao: ‘To ne treba doznati Jonatan da se ne oœalosti.’ Ali tako mi œivoga Gospodina i tebe, izmeåu mene i smrti samo je jedan korak.” 4 Jonatan je odgovorio Davidu: “Æto god zaœeliæ, ja øu ti uçiniti.” 5 I David je predloœio Jonatanu ovo: “Znaæ, sutra je mjesec mlaåak, i da moram sjediti s kraljem za stolom, ali pusti me da idem: sakrit øu se u polju do treøe veçeri. 6 Opazi li tvoj otac da me nema, ti mu kaœi: ‘David me je zamolio da moœe otiøi u svoj oçinski grad Betlehem, jer ondje je godiænja œrtva za svu njegovu obitelj.’ 7 Ako kaœe: ‘Dobro,’ onda je miran tvoj sluga. Ako li se razgnjevi, onda znaj da je nesreøa u njemu zakljuçena stvar. 8 Iskaœi milost svojem sluzi kad si vjeru Gospodinovu uhvatio sa svojim slugom, ako je kakva krivnja na meni, ubij me ti, ali me ne izruçuj svojem ocu!” 9 A Jonatan je odgovorio: “Daleko od toga! Ako doznam da je moj otac naumio na tebe svaliti nesreøu, ja øu to tebi bez sumnje javiti.”

And when the New Moon sto uza zid.

Drugi to him, “Why should he be killed? What has he dan mjeseca mlaåaka nije on jeo niæta, jer je tugovao za Davidom kad ga je njegov otac izdone?” 33 Then Saul cast a spear at him to kill him, by which grdio. Jonathan knew that it was determined by his father 35 Ujutro je izaæao Jonatan u polje, kako je ugovorio s Davidom, i pratio ga je jedan mladi to kill David. 34 So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, sluga. and ate no food the second day of the month, for he 36 On je rekao svojem sluzi: “Trçi i naåi strijele was grieved for David, because his father had koje ispuætam!” Dok je mladiø trçao, ispustio on strijele preko njega. treated him shamefully. 35 And so it was, in the morning, that Jonathan went 37 Kad je mladiø doæao na mjesto, gdje su out into the field at the time appointed with David, leœale strijele, koje je odapeo Jonatan, viknuo je Jonatan za momkom: “Strijele leœe pred toand a little lad was with him. 36 Then he said to his lad, “Now run, find the arrows bom ondje dalje!” which I shoot.” As the lad ran, he shot an arrow be- 38 Joæ je viknuo Jonatan za momkom: “Brœe, pohiti i ne stoj!” Sluga Jonatanov je podigao yond him. 37 When the lad had come to the place where the strijele i donio ih svojem gospodaru. arrow was which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried 39 Sluga nije znao niæta, samo su Jonatan i out after the lad and said, “Is not the arrow beyond David znali æto je. 40 Jonatan je predao svoje oruœje sluzi koji je you?” 38 And Jonathan cried out after the lad, “Make haste, bio s njim i rekao mu: “Idi, odnesi to u grad!” hurry, do not delay!” So Jonathan’s lad gathered up 41 Kad je sluga otiæao, podigao se David iz skroviæta, bacio se niçice na zemlju na lice i the arrows and came back to his master. 39 But the lad did not know anything. Only Jonathan poklonio se tri puta. Potom se poljubili, i plakali su privijeni jedan uz drugoga; osobito je David and David knew of the matter. 40 Then Jonathan gave his weapons to his lad, and plakao vrlo gorko. 42 Onda je Jonatan rekao Davidu: “Idi u miru! said to him, “Go, carry them to the city.” 41 Now as soon as the lad had gone, David arose Æto smo obojica prisegli u Ime Gospodinovo, from a place toward the south, fell on his face to the za to je Gospodin svjedok izmeåu mene i tebe, ground, and bowed down three times.

David more so. 42 Then Jonathan said to David, “Go in peace, since we have both sworn in the name of the LORD, saying, ‘May the LORD be between you and me, and between your descendants and my descendants, forever.’ “So he arose and departed, and Jonathan went into the city.

Now David came to Nob, to Ahimelech the priest. And Ahimelech was afraid when he met David, and said to him, “Why are you alone, and no one is with you?” 2 So David said to Ahimelech the priest, “The king has ordered me on some business, and said to me, ‘Do not let anyone know anything about the business on which I send you, or what I have commanded you.’ And I have directed my young men to such and such a place. 3 Now therefore, what have you on hand? Give me five loaves of bread in my hand, or whatever can be found.” 4 And the priest answered David and said, “There is no common bread on hand; but there is holy bread, if the young men have at least kept themselves from women.” 5 Then David answered the priest, and said to him, “Truly, women have been kept from us about three days since I came out. And the vessels of the young men are holy, and the bread is in effect common, even though it was sanctified in the vessel this day.” 6 So the priest gave him holy bread; for there was no bread there but the showbread which had been taken from before the LORD, in order to put hot bread in its place on the day when it was taken away. 7 Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the LORD. And his name was Doeg, an Edomite, the chief of the herdsmen

David u bijegu

David se zaputio u Nobu k sveøeniku Ahimeleku. Ahimelek je doæao Davidu radosno u susret i upitao ga: “Zaæto dolaziæ sam i nikoga nema s tobom?” 2 David je odgovorio sveøeniku Ahimeleku: “Kralj mi je zapovjedio i rekao mi: ‘Nitko ne smije niæta o tomu znati zaæto te æaljem i æto sam ti zapovjedio.’ Zato sam upravio ljude u to i to mjesto. 3 Stoga, æto imaæ upravo pri ruci? Daj mi pet kruhova ili drugo æto se naåe! 4 A sveøenik je odgovorio Davidu: “Nemam pri ruci obiçnoga kruha, tu je samo sveti kruh, ako su se ljudi suzdrœali od œena?” 5 David je odgovorio sveøeniku i rekao: “Sigurno, su nam œene bile uskraøene tri dana otkako sam poæao. Tijela ljudi su sveta i kad je obiçan pothvat, koliko su viæe posveøeni danas na tijelu u ovom pothvatu.” 6 Onda mu je dao sveøenik sveti kruh, jer nije bilo tu drugoga kruha osim kruhova prikazivanja koji su bili uzeti ispred Gospodina da se zamijeni svjeœim kruhom na dan kad se oni uzmu. 7 A onda je bio ondje jedan od Saulovih slugu, zadrœao se u svetiætu pred Gospodinom, Edomac po imenu Doeg, nadglednik Saulovih pastira. 8 David je upitao Ahimeleka: “Imaæ li tu kakvo

-3531 Samuel 1 Samuel koplje ili maç? Jer nisam mogao uzeti sobom ni who belonged to Saul. 8 And David said to Ahimelech, “Is there not here on svojega maça ni svojega oruœja, jer je kraljeva hand a spear or a sword? For I have brought neither zapovijed bila vrlo hitna.” my sword nor my weapons with me, because the 9 Sveøenik je odgovorio: “Maç Filistejca Golijata, koga si ubio u dolini Elah, leœi uvijen u king’s business required haste.” 9 So the priest said, “The sword of Goliath the Philis- platno, iza efoda. Ako ga hoøeæ uzeti, uzmi ga, tine, whom you killed in the Valley of Elah, there it is, jer drugoga nema ovdje.” David je rekao: “Njewrapped in a cloth behind the ephod. If you will take mu sliçna nema; daj mi ga!” that, take it. For there is no other except that one 10 I David se podigao i pobjegao onaj dan od here.” And David said, “There is none like it; give it to Saula i poæao gatskom kralju Akiæu. 11 A dvorani Akiæovi rekli su mu: “Nije li to me.” 10 Then David arose and fled that day from before David, kralj zemlje? To je onaj o kojem su pleæuøi pjevali: ‘Saul je pogubio svoju tisuøu, a Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath. 11 And the servants of Achish said to him, “Is this not David svojih deset tisuøa.’ ” David the king of the land?

Shall this fellow come into my house?”

22

David therefore departed from there and escaped to the cave of Adullam. And when his brothers and all his father’s house heard it, they went down there to him. 2 And everyone who was in distress, everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented gathered to him. So he became captain over them. And there were about four hundred men with him. 3 Then David went from there to Mizpah of Moab; and he said to the king of Moab, “Please let my father and mother come here with you, till I know what God will do for me.” 4 So he brought them before the king of Moab, and they dwelt with him all the time that David was in the stronghold. 5 Then the prophet Gad said to David, “Do not stay in the stronghold; depart, and go to the land of Judah.” So David departed and went into the forest of Hereth. 6 When Saul heard that David and the men who were with him had been discovered–now Saul was staying in Gibeah under a tamarisk tree in Ramah, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants standing about him– 7 then Saul said to his servants who stood about him, “Hear now, you Benjamites! Will the son of Jesse give every one of you fields and vineyards, and make you all captains of thousands and captains of hundreds? 8 All of you have conspired against me, and there is no one who reveals to me that my son has made a covenant with the son of Jesse; and there is not one of you who is sorry for me or reveals to me that my son has stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as it is this day.” 9 Then answered Doeg the Edomite, who was set over the servants of Saul, and said, “I saw the son of Jesse going to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub. 10 And he inquired of the LORD for him, gave him provisions, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.” 11 Then the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father’s house, the priests who were in Nob. And they all came to the king.

David u æpilji Adulam

Tako je David otiæao odande i sklonio se u æpilju Adulam. Kad su to saznala njegova braøa i njegova obitelj, doæli su ondje k njemu. 2 I okupili se oko njega svi koji su bili potlaçeni, zaduœeni i nezadovoljni, i on im postao poglavar. Jedno çetiri stotine ljudi se njemu pridruœilo. 3 Odatle je otiæao David u Mispu u moapskoj zemlji i zamolio moapskog kralja: “Ne bi li smjeli moj otac i moja majka ostati kod vas dok ne saznam æto øe Bog uçiniti sa mnom?” 4 Tako ih ostavio kod moapskog kralja. Oni su ostali kod njega dokle je David bio u gorskoj tvråavi. 5 A kad je prorok Gad rekao Davidu: “Nemoj ostati u gorskoj tvråavi! Ustani i idi u Judinu zemlju!” Podigao se David i otiæao u Heretsku æumu. 6 Kad je doçuo Saul da su se pojavili David i ljudi koji su bili s njim. Saul je upravo sjedio u Gibei pod stablom tamarisk na uzvisini, s kopljem u ruci, a sve njegove sluge stajale su oko njega. 7 Onda je rekao Saul svojim slugama koji su bili oko njega: “Çujte, sinovi Benjaminovi! Hoøe li vam svima sin Jesejev darovati njive i vinograde, hoøe li vas sve uçiniti tisuønicima i stotnicima? 8 Vi ste se svi urotili protiv mene i nitko mi nije javio, kad se moj sin sloœio sa sinom Jesejevim. Nitko od vas nije se saœalio na mene i rekao mi kad je moj sin pobunio mojega slugu protiv mene, kako je to sada.” 9 Onda Edomac Doeg, koji je stajao s dvoranima Saulovim, uzeo rijeç i rekao: “Vidio sam gdje je sin Jesejev doæao k Ahimeleku u Nobu, sinu Ahitubovu. 10 Ovaj je upitao Gospodina za njega, dao mu hrane i maç Filistejca Golijata.” 11 Onda je kralj dao dozvati sveøenika Ahimeleka, sina Ahitubova, i cijelu kuøu njegova oca, sveøenike, koji su bili u Nobu. I oni su svi doæli kralju.

-3541 Samuel 1 Samuel 12 And Saul said, “Hear now, son of Ahitub!” And he 12 Rekao je Saul: “Çuj, sine Ahitubov!” a on je odgovorio: “Evo me, gospodaru!” answered, “Here I am, my lord.” 13 Then Saul said to him, “Why have you conspired 13 Saul ga upitao: “Zaæto ste se urotili protiv against me, you and the son of Jesse, in that you mene, ti i sin Jesejev?

Then they told David, saying, “Look, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and they are robbing the threshing floors.” 2 Therefore David inquired of the LORD, saying, “Shall I go and attack these Philistines?” And the LORD said to David, “Go and attack the Philistines, and save Keilah.” 3 And David’s men said to him, “Look, we are afraid here in Judah. How much more then if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?” 4 Then David inquired of the LORD once again. And the LORD answered him and said, “Arise, go down to Keilah. For I will deliver the Philistines into your hand.” 5 And David and his men went to Keilah and fought with the Philistines, struck them with a mighty blow, and took away their livestock. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah. 6 Now it happened, when Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David at Keilah, that he went down with an ephod in his hand. 7 And Saul was told that David had gone to Keilah. So Saul said, “God has delivered him into my hand, for he has shut himself in by entering a town that has gates and bars.” 8 Then Saul called all the people together for war, to go down to Keilah to besiege David and his men.

Çudesna briga Boœja za Davida

Javili su Davidu, govoreøi: “Filistejci opsjedaju Keilu i haraju gumna.” 2 Stoga je David upitao Gospodina: “Trebam li iøi i udariti na te Filistejce?” Gospodin je rekao Davidu: “Idi, pobij Filistejce i izbavi Keilu!” 3 A Davidovi ljudi su mu rekli: “Evo, nas je ovdje u Judi veø velik strah, pa kako da joæ idemo u Keilu protiv filistejske vojske?” 4 David je upitao Gospodina joæ jedanput, i Gospodin mu je rekao: “Ustani i idi u Keilu, jer øu predati Filistejce u tvoju ruku!” 5 Nato je krenuo David sa svojim ljudima u Keilu, udario na Filistejce, zadao im teæki udarac i otjerao im stoku. Tako je David izbavio stanovnike u Keili. 6 Kad je Abiatar, sin Ahimelekov, pobjegao k Davidu u Keilu, bio je sobom donio opleøak. 7 Kad su javili Saulu, da je David otiæao u Keilu, pomislio je Saul: “Bog mi ga je izruçio u ruke, jer se sam zatvorio otiæavæi u grad, koji ima vrata i prijevornice.” 8 Stoga je Saul podigao sav narod na vojsku, da ide na Keilu i zatvorio Davida i njegove ljude. 9 Kad je David doznao da mu Saul snuje zlo, zamolio je sveøenika Abiatara: “Donesi ovamo opleøak!” 10 Onda je rekao David: “Gospodine, Boœe

Onda su javili Saulu da je David izmaknuo iz Keile, i on je prestao dalje said, “They will deliver you.” 13 So David and his men, about six hundred, arose iøi. and departed from Keilah and went wherever they 14 David se zadrœavao u pustinji na gorskim vicould go.

David and his men were in the Wilderness of Maon, 26 Saul je iæao jednom stranom planine, David sa svojim ljudima drugom stranom. David je in the plain on the south of Jeshimon. 25 When Saul and his men went to seek him, they htio uteøi Saulu, a Saul je sa svojim ljudima bio told David.

Kad je Saul bio ostavio and did not allow them to rise against Saul. And Saul æpilju i poæao dalje svojim putom. 8 Onda je ustao i David, izaæao iz æpilje i povgot up from the cave and went on his way. 8 David also arose afterward, went out of the cave, ikao za Saulom: “Gospodaru i moj kralju!” Kad and called out to Saul, saying, “My lord the king!” se okrenuo Saul, bacio se David licem na zemAnd when Saul looked behind him, David stooped lju i poklonio mu se. 9 Onda je viknuo David Saulu: “Zaæto sluæaæ with his face to the earth, and bowed down. 9 And David said to Saul: “Why do you listen to the æto ti vele ljudi koji govore: ‘David snuje tvoju words of men who say, ‘Indeed David seeks your propast’? 10 Evo, na danaænji dan vidio si vlastitim oçima harm’? 10 Look, this day your eyes have seen that the LORD da te je Gospodin danas u æpilji bio predao u delivered you today into my hand in the cave, and moje ruke.

Then Samuel died; and the Israelites gath ered together and lamented for him, and buried him at his home in Ramah. And David arose and went down to the Wilderness of Paran. 2 Now there was a man in Maon whose business was in Carmel, and the man was very rich. He had three thousand sheep and a thousand goats. And he was shearing his sheep in Carmel. 3 The name of the man was Nabal, and the name of his wife Abigail. And she was a woman of good understanding and beautiful appearance; but the man was harsh and evil in his doings. And he was of the house of Caleb. 4 When David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep, 5 David sent ten young men; and David said to the young men, “Go up to Carmel, go to Nabal, and greet him in My name. 6 And thus you shall say to him who lives in prosperity: ‘Peace be to you, peace to your house, and peace to all that you have! 7 Now I have heard that you have shearers. Your shepherds were with us, and we did not hurt them, nor was there anything missing from them all the while they were in Carmel. 8 Ask your young men, and they will tell you. Therefore let my young men find favor in your eyes, for we come on a feast day. Please give whatever comes to your hand to your servants and to your son David.’ ” 9 So when David’s young men came, they spoke to Nabal according to all these words in the name of David, and waited. 10 Then Nabal answered David’s servants, and said, “Who is David, and who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants nowadays who break away each one from his master. 11 Shall I then take my bread and my water and my meat that I have killed for my shearers, and give it to men when I do not know where they are from?” 12 So David’s young men turned on their heels and went back; and they came and told him all these words. 13 Then David said to his men, “Every man gird on his sword.” So every man girded on his sword, and David also girded on his sword. And about four hundred men went with David, and two hundred stayed with the supplies. 14 Now one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal’s wife, saying, “Look, David sent messengers from the wilderness to greet our master; and he reviled them. 15 But the men were very good to us, and we were not hurt, nor did we miss anything as long as we accompanied them, when we were in the fields. 16 They were a wall to us both by night and day, all the time we were with them keeping the sheep. 17 Now therefore, know and consider what you will do, for harm is determined against our master and against all his household. For he is such a scoundrel that one cannot speak to him.” 18 Then Abigail made haste and took two hundred loaves of bread, two skins of wine, five sheep already dressed, five seahs of roasted grain, one hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and loaded them on donkeys. 19 And she said to her servants, “Go on before me; see, I am coming after you.” But she did not tell her husband Nabal.

David i Nabal

Uto je umro Samuel; a sav Izrael se skupio i odrœao mu tugovanje, i pokopali su ga kod njegove kuøe u Rami. A David je ustao i siæao u pustinju Paran. 2 U Maonu œivio je çovjek koji je svoje imanje imao u Karmelu, a çovjek je bio vrlo bogat. On je posjedovao tri tisuøe ovaca i tisuøu koza. On je upravo bio u Karmelu zaposlen striœenjem ovaca. 3 Çovjek se zvao Nabal, a njegova œena Abigaila. Œena je bila mudra i vrlo lijepa, a çovjek surov i opak, pravi Kalebovac. 4 Kad je David u pustinji doznao da Nabal striœe svoje ovce, 5 poslao je ondje deset ljudi. David je dao ljudima ovu zapovijed: “Idite u Karmel, poåite k Nabalu, i pozdravite ga u moje ime. 6 I uz pozdrav recite: ‘Mir tebi, mir tvojoj kuøi i mir svemu æto posjedujeæ. 7 Çuo sam, eto, da imaæ striœenje ovaca. Pastiri su se tvoji zadrœavali meåu nama i nismo im nikada niæta uçinili na œao. Nikada im nije niæta nestalo dokle su god bili u Karmelu. 8 Pitaj samo svoje sluge, oni ti to mogu potvrditi. Zato budi dobar ovim ljudima, jer odlazimo u sveçan dan; pa daj svojim slugama i svojem sinu Davidu æto ti doåe do ruke.’” 9 Kad su doæli Davidovi ljudi, rekli su Nabalu sve to u ime Davidovo, i onda su çekali. 10 A Nabal je odgovorio Davidovim ljudima: “Tko je David i tko je sin Jesejev? Danas ima previæe sluga æto bjeœe od svojih gospodara. 11 Zar da uzmem svoj kruh, svoju vodu i svoju stoku æto sam je zaklao za svoje strigaçe i da to dadem ljudima za koje ni ne znam odakle su doæli?” 12 Tako se Davidovi ljudi zaputili natrag i vratili se kuøi; doæli su k Davidu, i javili mu sav sluçaj. 13 Odmah je zapovjedio David svojim ljudima: “Svaki neka pripaæe svoj maç!” Tako je svaki pripasao svoj maç i David je pripasao svoj maç. Onda su izaæli pod vodstvom Davidovim, jedno çetiri stotine ljudi; dvjesta su ostali kod prtljage. 14 Meåutim jedan od sluga je javio œeni Nabalovoj, Abigaili: “Upravo je David iz pustinje poslao glasnike da pozdrave naæega gospodara, a on ih otjerao. 15 A ti su nam ljudi bili vrlo dobri, i nikada nam nisu niæta na œao uçinili. Nikada nam nije niæta nestalo dokle smo god iæli u njihovoj blizini, kad smo bili na polju. 16 Bili su kao zid oko nas danju i noøu, dokle smo god çuvali ovce u njihovoj blizini. 17 Pa promisli i vidi æto øeæ uçiniti, jer je gotovo zlo naæem gospodaru i cijeloj njegovoj kuøi. On je sam odviæe opak da bi se moglo s njim govoriti.” 18 Abigaila brœe je uzela dvjesta kruhova, dvije mjeæine vina, pet spremljenih ovaca, pet mjerica prœena œita, stotinu osuæenih grozdova i dvjesta gruda suhih smokava, i natovarila sve to na magarce. 19 Ona je rekla svojim slugama, a da nije niæta rekla svojemu muœu Nabalu: “Hajdete naprijed; ja øu odmah doøi za vama.” 20 Kad je ispod gore jahala na magarcu, doæao joj upravo u susret David sa svojim ljudima, i

Now the Ziphites came to Saul at Gibeah, saying, “Is David not hiding in the hill of Hachilah, which is opposite Jeshimon?” 2 Then Saul arose and went down to the Wilderness of Ziph, having three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the Wilderness of Ziph. 3 And Saul encamped in the hill of Hachilah, which is opposite Jeshimon, by the road. But David stayed in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness. 4 David therefore sent out spies, and understood that Saul had indeed come. 5 So David arose and came to the place where Saul had encamped. And David saw the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the commander of his army. Now Saul lay within the camp, with the people encamped all around him. 6 Then David answered, and said to Ahimelech the Hittite and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, brother of Joab, saying, “Who will go down with me to Saul in the camp?” And Abishai said, “I will go down with you.” 7 So David and Abishai came to the people by night; and there Saul lay sleeping within the camp, with his spear stuck in the ground by his head. And Abner and the people lay all around him. 8 Then Abishai said to David, “God has delivered your enemy into your hand this day. Now therefore, please, let me strike him at once with the spear, right to the earth; and I will not have to strike him a second time!” 9 And David said to Abishai, “Do not destroy him; for who can stretch out his hand against the Lord’s anointed, and be guiltless?” 10 David said furthermore, “As the LORD lives, the LORD shall strike him, or his day shall come to die, or he shall go out to battle and perish. 11 The LORD forbid that I should stretch out my hand against the Lord’s anointed. But please, take now the spear and the jug of water that are by his head, and let us go.” 12 So David took the spear and the jug of water by Saul’s head, and they got away; and no man saw it or knew it or awoke. For they were all asleep, because a deep sleep from the LORD had fallen on them. 13 Then David went over to the other side, and stood

David u taboru Saulovu

Zifejci su doæli k Saulu u Gibei i javili: “David se krije u brdu Hakili na kraju pustinje.” 2 Onda se Saul zaputio i siæao u Pustinju Zif s tri tisuøe izabranih Izraelaca da traœi Davida u Pustinji Zif. 3 Saul se utaborio u brdu Hakili, koje leœi na kraju pustinje na putu. David je ostao u pustinji, i opazio da Saul ide za njim u pustinju. 4 Zato je David poslao uhode i doznao da je zaista Saul veø tu. 5 Onda se podigao David i stigao na mjesto gdje se utaborio Saul. David je mogao vidjeti mjesto na kojem je leœao Saul sa svojim vojskovoåom Abnerom, sinom Nerovim. I Saul je leœao usred tabora, a vojska je taborila naokolo oko njega. 6 Onda se obratio David Hitejcu Ahimeleku i Abiæaju, sinu Serujinu, bratu Joabovu, i upitao: “Tko øe siøi sa mnom k Saulu u tabor?” Abiæaj je odgovorio: “Ja øu siøi s tobom.” 7 Tako se David i Abiæaj doæuljali noøu k ljudima. Saul je leœao i spavao u grabi bojnih kola, sa zabodenim kopljem u zemlju pokraj glave. Abner i vojska leœali su naokolo oko njega. 8 Abiæaj je rekao Davidu “Danas ti je dao Bog tvojega neprijatelja u ruke. Zato, dopusti da ga sada pribodem njegovim kopljem za zemlju jednim jedinim udarcem, i neøe mi trebati drugi.” 9 A David je rekao Abiæaju: “Ne ubijaj ga, jer tko bi bio podigao ruku na pomazanika Gospodinova i ostao nekaœnjen?” 10 “Tako mi œivoga Gospodina”, nastavio je David, “ili øe ga Gospodin ubiti, ili øe doøi njegov dan kad mora umrijeti, ili øe iziøi u rat i poginuti. 11 Ali neka me saçuva Gospodin od toga da dignem ruku na pomazanika Gospodinova. Uzmi sada koplje pokraj njegove glave i pehar za vodu i onda idemo!” 12 I uzeo je David koplje i çaæu za vodu pokraj Saulove glave, i udalje se, a da nitko nije to vidio ili opazio, i nitko se nije probudio, dapaçe svi su spavali, jer je bio doæao na njih dubok, od Gospodina poslan, san.

Eto, ludo sam radio i teæko sam saspear. Let one of the young men come over and get grijeæio.” 22 Odgovorio je David rekavæi: “Ovdje je koplje it. 23 May the LORD repay every man for his righteous- kraljevo, neka doåe ovamo koji od sluga i neka ness and his faithfulness; for the LORD delivered you ga uzme! into my hand today, but I would not stretch out my 23 Gospodin plaøa svakomu njegovu pravednost i vjernost.

Ti øeæ to izvesti i returned to his place. imati uspjeh.” Nato je David otiæao svojim putom, a Saul se vratio natrag u svoje mjesto.

27

And David said in his heart, “Now I shall perish someday by the hand of Saul. There is nothing better for me than that I should speedily escape to the land of the Philistines; and Saul will despair of me, to seek me anymore in any part of Israel. So I shall escape out of his hand.” 2 Then David arose and went over with the six hundred men who were with him to Achish the son of Maoch, king of Gath. 3 So David dwelt with Achish at Gath, he and his men, each man with his household, and David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal’s widow. 4 And it was told Saul that David had fled to Gath; so he sought him no more. 5 Then David said to Achish, “If I have now found favor in your eyes, let them give me a place in some

David u zemlji Filistejaca

David je rekao u sebi: “Jednoga dana ipak øe me ruka Saulova smaknuti. Ne preostaje mi niæta bolje nego da pobjegnem u zemlju Filistejaca. Onda øe Saul odustati od toga da me joæ dalje traœi u svem podruçju Izraelovu, i tako øu izmaknuti njegovoj ruci.” 2 Tako se podigao David i otiæao sa æest stotina ljudi, koje je imao uza se, k Akiæu, sinu Maokovu, gatskomu kralju. 3 David se nastanio kod Akiæa u Gatu, on i njegovi ljudi, svaki sa svojom obitelji, David sa svoje obje œene, Ahinoamom od Jezreela i Abigailom, œenom Nabalovom, iz Karmela. 4 Kad su javili Saulu, da je David pobjegao u Gat, nije ga dalje progonio. 5 A David je rekao Akiæu: “Ako sam naæao milost u tvojim oçima, neka mi se dade za bo-

Now it happened in those days that the Philistines gathered their armies together for war, to fight with Israel. And Achish said to David, “You assuredly know that you will go out with me to battle, you and your men.” 2 And David said to Achish, “Surely you know what your servant can do.” And Achish said to David, “Therefore I will make you one of my chief guardians forever.” 3 Now Samuel had died, and all Israel had lamented for him and buried him in Ramah, in his own city. And Saul had put the mediums and the spiritists out of the land. 4 Then the Philistines gathered together, and came and encamped at Shunem. So Saul gathered all Israel together, and they encamped at Gilboa. 5 When Saul saw the army of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart trembled greatly. 6 And when Saul inquired of the LORD, the LORD did not answer him, either by dreams or by Urim or by the prophets. 7 Then Saul said to his servants, “Find me a woman who is a medium, that I may go to her and inquire of her.” And his servants said to him, “In fact, there is a woman who is a medium at En Dor.” 8 So Saul disguised himself and put on other clothes, and he went, and two men with him; and they came to the woman by night. And he said, “Please conduct a seance for me, and bring up for me the one I shall name to you.” 9 Then the woman said to him, “Look, you know what Saul has done, how he has cut off the mediums and the spiritists from the land. Why then do you lay a snare for my life, to cause me to die?” 10 And Saul swore to her by the LORD, saying, “As the LORD lives, no punishment shall come upon you for this thing.” 11 Then the woman said, “Whom shall I bring up for you?” And he said, “Bring up Samuel for me.” 12 When the woman saw Samuel, she cried out with a loud voice. And the woman spoke to Saul, saying, “Why have you deceived me? For you are Saul!”

Saul kod œene vraçarice

U ono se vrijeme skupili Filistejci svoju vojsku da udare na Izraela. Akiæ je rekao Davidu: “Znaj da øeæ iøi sa mnom na vojsku, ti i tvoji ljudi.” 2 David je odgovorio Akiæu: “Dobro, sad øeæ vidjeti æto moœe uçiniti tvoj sluga.” Akiæ je odgovorio Davidu: “Dobro, postavljam te dovijeka svojim çuvarom.” 3 Samuel je bio umro, sav je Izrael odrœao tugovanje za njim i pokopali su ga u njegovu gradu Rami. A Saul je bio protjerao iz zemlje zazivaçe duhova i vraçare, 4 I kad se Filistejci skupili, izaæli su i kod Æunama se utaborili, skupio je i Saul svega Izraela, i oni se utaborili na Gilboi. 5 Kad je Saul opazio tabor Filistejaca, pao je u tjeskobu i jako se prestraæio. 6 Zato je upitao Saul Gospodina, ali mu Gospodin nije dao odgovora, ni u snu, ni po Urimu, ni preko proroka. 7 I Saul je zapovjedio svojim slugama: “Traœite mi œenu koja zaziva duhove da idem k njoj i upitam ju.” Njegove sluge odgovorile mu: “Evo, u End-Doru ima œena koja moœe zazivati duhove.” 8 I Saul se uçinio nepoznatim, odjenuo druge haljine i zaputio se praøen dvojicom ljudi. Kad su po noøi doæli k onoj œeni, on je rekao: “Vraçaj mi zazivajuøi duhove i daj dozovi mi onoga za koga ti reknem!” 9 Œena mu odgovorila: “Pa ti znaæ æto je uçinio Saul; kako je iskorijenio u zemlji zazivaçe duhova i vraçare. Zaæto mi postavljaæ zamku da me ubijeæ?” 10 Ali joj se Saul zakleo Gospodinom: “Tako mi œivoga Gospodina, neøe te u ovom sluçaju stiøi nikakva kazna!” 11 Onda ga upitala œena: “Koga da ti dozovem?” On je odgovorio: “Dozovi mi Samuela!” 12 A kad je œena vidjela Samuela, povikala je iza glasa i rekla: “Zaæto si me prevario? Pa ti si

Zato sam pozvao dreams. Therefore I have called you, that you may tebe, javi mi æto da çinim!” 16 Samuel je odgovorio: “Æto pitaæ mene kad reveal to me what I should do.” 16 Then Samuel said: “Why then do you ask me, se Gospodin odvratio od tebe i postao tvoj neseeing the LORD has departed from you and has be- prijatelj. 17 Gospodin ti je samo uçinio æto je unaprijed come your enemy? 17 And the LORD has done for himself as he spoke by rekao preko mene.

Then they rose and went away that night.

29

Then the Philistines gathered together all their armies at Aphek, and the Israelites encamped by a fountain which is in Jezreel. 2 And the lords of the Philistines passed in review by hundreds and by thousands, but David and his men passed in review at the rear with Achish. 3 Then the princes of the Philistines said, “What are these Hebrews doing here?” And Achish said to the princes of the Philistines, “Is this not David, the servant of Saul king of Israel, who has been with me these days, or these years? And to this day I have found no fault in him since he defected to me.” 4 But the princes of the Philistines were angry with him; so the princes of the Philistines said to him, “Make this fellow return, that he may go back to the place which you have appointed for him, and do not let him go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he become our adversary. For with what could he reconcile himself to his master, if not with the heads of

Filistejci nemaju pouzdanja u Davida

Filistejci su skupili svu svoju vojsku u Afek, a Izraelci se utaborili kod izvora æto leœi u Jezreelu. 2 I kako su poglavari filistejski iæli sa svojim stotinama i tisuøama, a i David je iæao najposlije uz Akiæa sa svojim ljudima. 3 Onda su rekli filistejski poglavari: “Æto rade ovdje ti Hebrejci?” A Akiæ je rekao filistejskim poglavarima: “Pa to je David, sluga Saula, kralja izraelskoga, koji je kod mene toliko dana, ili godina i nisam naæao na njemu nikakva zla otkako je preæao k meni do danas. 4 Ali se poglavari filistejski rasrdili na njega i zatraœili od njega: “Poæalji natrag toga çovjeka, da se moœe vratiti na mjesto æto si mu ga odredio i neka ne ide s nama u rat, da nas ne izda u boju! Çime bi mogao bolje opet omiljeti svojem gospodaru negoli glavama ovih ljudi” 5 Nije li to onaj David, komu se u çast pjevalo

Ja as the LORD lives, you have been upright, and your nisam naæao na tebi do danas niæta negoing out and your coming in with me in the army is pravedno, otkako si preæao k meni, ali nisi po good in my sight.

And the Philistines went up to Jezreel.

Now it happened, when David and his men came to Ziklag, on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the South and Ziklag, attacked Ziklag and burned it with fire, 2 and had taken captive the women and those who were there, from small to great; they did not kill anyone, but carried them away and went their way. 3 So David and his men came to the city, and there it was, burned with fire; and their wives, their sons, and their daughters had been taken captive. 4 Then David and the people who were with him lifted up their voices and wept, until they had no more power to weep. 5 And David’s two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the widow of Nabal the Carmelite, had been taken captive. 6 Then David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and his daughters. But David strengthened himself in the LORD his God. 7 Then David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech’s son, “Please bring the ephod here to me.” And Abiathar brought the ephod to David. 8 So David inquired of the LORD, saying, “Shall I pursue this troop? Shall I overtake them?” And he answered him, “Pursue, for you shall surely overtake them and without fail recover all.” 9 So David went, he and the six hundred men who were with him, and came to the Brook Besor, where those stayed who were left behind. 10 But David pursued, he and four hundred men; for two hundred stayed behind, who were so weary that they could not cross the Brook Besor. 11 Then they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David; and they gave him bread and he ate, and they let him drink water. 12 And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs and two clusters of raisins. So when he had eaten, his strength came back to him; for he had eaten no bread nor drunk any water for three days and three nights. 13 Then David said to him, “To whom do you belong, and where are you from?” And he said, “I am a young man from Egypt, servant of an Amalekite; and my

Davidova osveta na Amaleçanima

Kad je David sa svojim ljudima doæao treøi dan u Siklag, bili su Amaleçani upali u juœnu zemlju i u Siklag, i bili su opljaçkali Siklag i ognjem ga spalili. 2 Œene i sve æto je bilo ondje, mlado i staro, bili su zarobili, a da nikoga nisu ubili, nego su ih odveli sobom kad su odlazili. 3 Kad je David sa svojim ljudima doæao u grad, bio je grad pretvoren u pepeo, i njegove œene, sinovi i køeri bili su zarobljeni i odvuçeni. 4 David i njegovi ljudi poçeli su plakati u sav glas, dok veø nisu mogli plakati. 5 I obje œene Davidove, Ahinoama iz Jezreela i Abigaila, œena Nabalova iz Karmela, bile su zarobljene i odvuçene. 6 David je bio na velikoj muci, jer su ljudi govorili da øe ga kamenovati, buduøi da je sav narod bio vrlo ogorçen zbog sinova i køeri. Ali se David ohrabrio u Gospodinu, svojem Bogu. 7 Onda je David rekao sveøeniku Abiataru, sinu Ahimelekovu: “Donesi mi opleøak!” Abiatar je donio opleøak Davidu. 8 Onda je upitao David Gospodina: “Trebam li poøi u potjeru za tom razbojniçkom çetom i hoøu li je stignuti” On mu odgovorio: “Poåi u potjeru i sigurno øeæ ih stignuti i ljude osloboditi!” 9 I podigao se David sa æest stotina ljudi, koje je imao kod sebe, i doæli su do rijeke Besora, gdje su neki, koji su zaostali, zaustavili. 10 David je sa çetiri stotine ljudi poæao dalje, a dvjesta ljudi posustalih je ostalo, te nisu mogli prijeøi preko rijeke Besora. 11 Tada su u polju naæli jednoga Egipøanina, Doveli ga k Davidu, dali su mu kruha za jesti i vode za piti. 12 I dali su mu komad smokvenjaçe i dva suha grozda. On je to pojeo i doæao opet k sebi, jer tri dana i tri noøi nije bio niæta jeo i niæta pio. 13 Onda mu David rekao: “Çiji si ti i odakle si?” On je odgovorio: “Ja sam mladiø iz Egipta, sluga jednoga Amaleçanina. Moj me gospodar ostavio, jer sam se razboljeo prije tri dana. 14 Napali smo juœnu keretejsku zemlju i na Ju-

So the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell slain on Mount Gilboa. 2 Then the Philistines followed hard after Saul and his sons. And the Philistines killed Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua, Saul’s sons. 3 Now the battle became intense against Saul; and

Smrt Saula i njegovih sinova

Nato je bilo doælo do bitke meåu Izraela i Filistejaca. Izraelovi ljudi su bili nagnuli u bijeg pred Filistejcima i leœali na gori Gilboi ranjeni na smrt. 2 Onda su Filistejci nagnuli za Saulom i njegovim sinovima. A Filistejci su pogubili Jonatana, Abinadaba, Malkiæua, Saulove sinove.

DRUGA KNJIGA SAMUELOVA Davidovo tugovanje za Jonatanom

Now it happened after the death of Saul, when David had returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had stayed two days in Ziklag, 2 on the third day, behold, it happened that a man came from Saul’s camp with his clothes torn and dust on his head. So it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the ground and prostrated himself. 3 And David said to him, “Where have you come from?” So he said to him, “I have escaped from the camp of Israel.” 4 Then David said to him, “How did the matter go? Please tell me.” And he answered, “The people have fled from the battle, many of the people are fallen and dead, and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also.” 5 So David said to the young man who told him, “How do you know that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?” 6 And the young man who told him said, “As I happened by chance to be on Mount Gilboa, there was Saul, leaning on his spear; and indeed the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him. 7 Now when he looked behind him, he saw me and called to me. And I answered, ‘Here I am.’ 8 And he said to me, ‘Who are you?’ So I answered him, ‘I am an Amalekite.’ 9 He said to me again, ‘Please stand over me and kill me, for anguish has come upon me, but my life still remains in me.’ 10 So I stood over him and killed him, because I was

Doæavæi k Davidu bacio se smjerno na zemlju. 3 David ga upitao: “Odakle dolaziæ?” On mu odgovorio: “Pobjegao sam iz izraelskoga tabora.” 4 David ga upitao dalje: “Æto se dogodilo? Pripovijedi mi!” On je izvjeæøavao: “vojska je pobjegla iz bitke. Mnogi su od ljudi pali i izginuli, i Saul i njegov sin Jonatan mrtvi su.” 5 Nato je upitao David mladoga çovjeka koji mu donio taj glas: “Kako znaæ da su Saul i njegov sin Jonatan mrtvi?” 6 Mladi çovjek koji mu donio glas, odgovorio je: “Sluçajno sam doæao na goru Gilbou i vidio sam Saula gdje se naslonio na svoje koplje, a bojna kola i konjanici pribliœavali su se k njemu. 7 Kad se on okrenuo i opazio je mene, zovnuo me. Ja sam odgovorio: ‘Evo me!’ 8 On me onda upitao: ‘Tko si?’ i ja sam mu odgovorio: ‘Amaleçanin sam.’ 9 Onda mi zapovjedio: ‘Pristupi k meni i usmrti me, jer su me obuzele muke, a joæ je sasvim duæa u meni.’ 10 I pristupio sam k njemu i usmrtio ga, jer sam znao da neøe ostati œiv nakon pada.

It happened after this that David inquired of the LORD, saying, “Shall I go up to any of the cities of Judah?” And the LORD said to him, “Go up.” David said, “Where shall I go up?” And he said, “To Hebron.” 2 So David went up there, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the widow of Nabal the Carmelite. 3 And David brought up the men who were with him, every man with his household. So they dwelt in the cities of Hebron. 4 Then the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, “The men of Jabesh Gilead were the ones who buried Saul.” 5 So David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh

David kralj nad plemenom Judinim

Nato je David upitao Gospodina: “Trebam li otiøi u koji Judin grad?” Gospodin mu odgovorio: “Idi!” David je upitao dalje: “Kamo da odem?” On mu odgovorio: “U Hebron.” 2 I David je otiæao onamo s obje svoje œene, Ahinoamom iz Jezreela i Abigailom, œenom Nabalovom, iz Karmela. 3 I ljude vojnike koji su bili s njim pustio da idu s njim, svakoga s obitelji svojom. Oni se nastanili u gradovima Hebrona. 4 Onda su doæli Judejci i pomazali ondje Davida za kralja nad kuøom Judinom. Onda su ljudi iz Jude javili Davidu, govoreøi: “Ljudi od Jabeæa u Gileadu pokopali su Saula.” 5 Onda je David poslao poslanike k ljudima od

And Joab and his men went all night, and they came to Hebron at daybreak.

Now there was a long war between the house of Saul and the house of David. But David grew stronger and stronger, and the house of Saul grew weaker and weaker. 2 Sons were born to David in Hebron: His firstborn was Amnon by Ahinoam the Jezreelitess; 3 his second, Chileab, by Abigail the widow of Nabal the Carmelite; the third, Absalom the son of Maacah, the daughter of Talmai, king of Geshur; 4 the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith; the fifth, Shephatiah the son of Abital; 5 and the sixth, Ithream, by David’s wife Eglah. These were born to David in Hebron. 6 Now it was so, while there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abner was strengthening his hold on the house of Saul. 7 And Saul had a concubine, whose name was Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah. So Ishbosheth said to Abner, “Why have you gone in to my father’s concubine?” 8 Then Abner became very angry at the words of Ishbosheth, and said, “Am I a dog’s head that belongs to Judah? Today I show loyalty to the house of Saul your father, to his brothers, and to his friends, and have not delivered you into the hand of David; and you charge me today with a fault concerning this woman? 9 May God do so to Abner, and more also, if I do not do for David as the LORD has sworn to him– 10 to transfer the kingdom from the house of Saul, and set up the throne of David over Israel and over Judah, from Dan to Beer-Sheba.” 11 And he could not answer Abner another word, because he feared him. 12 Then Abner sent messengers on his behalf to David, saying, “Whose is the land?” saying also, “Make your covenant with me, and indeed my hand shall be with you to bring all Israel to you.” 13 And David said, “Good, I will make a covenant with you. But one thing I require of you: you shall not see my face unless you first bring Michal, Saul’s daughter, when you come to see my face.” 14 So David sent messengers to Ishbosheth, Saul’s son, saying, “Give me my wife Michal, whom I betrothed to myself for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines.” 15 And Ishbosheth sent and took her from her husband, from Paltiel the son of Laish. 16 Then her husband went along with her to Bahurim, weeping behind her. So Abner said to him,

Abner prelazi k Davidu, ali ga Joab ubije

Ali rat izmeåu kuøe Saulove i kuøe Davidove potrajao je joæ duœe. David je postajao sve moøniji, kuøa Saulova sve slabija. 2 U Hebronu se rodili Davidu ovi sinovi: njegov prvoroåenac bio je Amnon, od Ahinoame iz Jezreela; 3 Njegov drugi bio je Kileab, od Abigaile, œene Nabalove iz Karmela; treøi je bio Absalom, sin Maake, køeri kralja Talmaja od Geæura; 4 çetvrti Adonija, sin Hagitin; peti Æefatija, sin Abitalin; 5 æesti Jitream od Egle, œene Davidove. Oni su se rodili Davidu u Hebronu. 6 Dok je bio rat izmeåu kuøe Saulove i kuøe Davidove, drœao se Abner vjerno uz kuøu Saulovu. 7 A Saul je bio imao suloœnicu, koja se zvala Rispah, køi Ajina. Jednoga dana upitao Iæboæet Abnera: “Zaæto se mijeæaæ sa suloœnicom mojega oca?” 8 Abner se vrlo razgnjevio na upit Iæboæetov i povikao: “Jesam li ja pasja glava judejska? Do danas çinio sam samo dobro kuøi Saula, tvojega oca, i braøi njegovoj i prijateljima njegovim. Brinuo sam se za to da ne padneæ u ruke Davidove, a danas me prekoravaæ zbog jedne œene. 9 Neka Bog uçini Abneru zlo i doda drugo ako ne ostvarim ono za æto se Gospodin zakleo Davidu, 10 da øe istrgnuti kraljevstvo kuøe Saulove i prijestolje Davidovo podignuti nad Izraelom i Judom od Dana do Beer-Æebe.” 11 A on se nije usudio niæta odgovoriti Abneru, jer ga se veoma bojao. 12 Tada je Abner poslao poslanike k Davidu i poruçio: “Çija je zemlja?” I rekao: “Uçini, eto, savez sa mnom, i moja øe ruka biti s tobom, i ja øu privesti k tebi svega Izraela.” 13 A David je odgovorio: “Dobro, ja øu utvrditi savez s tobom, ali samo jedno traœim od tebe: ‘Ne smijeæ mi stupiti pred oçi, osim ako mi dovedeæ sobom Mikalu, køer Saulovu, kad doåeæ da mi se predstaviæ!’ ” 14 Ujedno je poslao David poslanike k Iæboæetu, sinu Saulovu, i poruçio: “Daj mi natrag moju œenu Mikalu, koju sam dobio za stotinu filistejskih prednjih koœica.” 15 Iæboæet je poslao i dao ju uzeti od njezina muœa Paltiela, sina Laiæova.

For the LORD has spoken of David, izraelskim i rekao: “Veø odavna htjeli ste imati saying, ‘By the hand of my servant David, I will save Davida za kralja nad vama. my people Israel from the hand of the Philistines and 18 Sada izvedite to, jer Gospodin je to izrekao Davidu: ‘Rukom mojega sluge Davida izbavit the hand of all their enemies.’ ” 19 And Abner also spoke in the hearing of Benjamin. øu svoj narod Izraela iz ruku Filistejaca i svih Then Abner also went to speak in the hearing of njegovih neprijatelja.’ ” David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel and 19 Tako je isto govorio Abner sa Benjaminovim sinovima.

Now it happened when the king was dwelling in his house, and the LORD had given him rest from all his enemies all around, 2 that the king said to Nathan the prophet, “See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the Ark of God dwells inside tent curtains.” 3 Then Nathan said to the king, “Go, do all that is in your heart, for the LORD is with you.” 4 But it happened that night that the word of the LORD came to Nathan, saying, 5 “Go and tell my servant David, ‘Thus says the LORD: Would you build a house for me to dwell in? 6 For I have not dwelt in a house since the time that I brought the sons of Israel up from Egypt, even to this day, but have moved about in a tent and in a tabernacle. 7 In all the places where I have walked with all the sons of Israel, have I ever spoken a word to anyone from the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd my people Israel, saying, ‘Why have you not built me a house of cedar?’ 8 Now therefore, thus shall you say to my servant David, ‘Thus says the LORD of hosts: I took you from the sheepfold, from following the sheep, to be ruler over my people, over Israel. 9 And I have been with you wherever you have gone, and have cut off all your enemies from before you, and have made you a great name, like the name of the great men who are on the earth. 10 Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own and move no more; nor shall the sons of wickedness oppress them anymore, as previously, 11 since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel, and have caused you to rest from all your enemies. Also the LORD tells you that he will make you a house. 12 When your days are fulfilled and you rest with your fathers, I will set up your seed after you, who will come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom. 13 He shall build a house for My name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. 14 I will be his Father, and he shall be my son. If he commits iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men and with the blows of the sons of men. 15 But my mercy shall not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I removed from before you. 16 And your house and your kingdom shall be established forever before you. Your throne shall be established forever.’ ” 17 According to all these words and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David. 18 Then King David went in and sat before the LORD; and he said: “Who am I, O LORD God? And what is my house, that you have brought me this far? 19 And yet this was a small thing in your sight, O LORD God; and you have also spoken of your servant’s house for a great while to come. Is this the manner of man, O LORD God? 20 Now what more can David say to you? For you, LORD God, know your servant. 21 For your word’s sake, and according to your own heart, you have done all these great things, to make

I dogodilo se, kad se kralj uselio u svoj dvor i Gospodin mu pribavio mir od svih njegovih neprijatelja unaokolo , 2 rekao je kralj proroku Natanu: “Evo, ja stojim u dvoru od cedra, a Boœja ækrinja stoji pod æatorskim pokrovom.” 3 Natan je odgovorio kralju: “Izvedi sve æto ti je u srcu, jer je Gospodin s tobom.” 4 Ali joæ u istoj noøi doæla je rijeç Gospodinova Natanu: 5 “Idi i kaœi mojem sluzi Davidu: ‘Ovako govori Gospodin: hoøeæ li mi ti graditi kuøu, da u njoj stanujem? 6 A ja nisam nikada stanovao u kuøi odonda, kad sam izveo Izraelove sinove iz Egipta, do danaænjega dana, nego sam putovao sam okolo i stanovao u æatoru. 7 Jesam li, dok sam meåu svima Izraelovim sinovima okolo hodio, komu od sudaca Izraelovih zapovjedio, da pastire moj narod Izraela, ikada jednu rijeç rekao: ‘Zaæto mi niste sagradili kuøu od cedra?’ 8 Zato kaœi sada mojem sluzi Davidu: ‘Ovako govori Gospodin vojska: Ja sam te uzeo s paæe od stada ovaca da budeæ vladar mojem narodu Izraelu. 9 Bio sam s tobom kod svega æto si poduzimao, i uniætio sam ispred tebe sve tvoje neprijatelje, i pribavio ti veliko ime, kako ga samo imaju najveøi na zemlji. 10 Ja øu odrediti mjesto svojem narodu Izraelu i ondje ga postaviti, da mirno prebiva na svojem mjestu i da se viæe ne uznemiruje; ni silnici ga viæe neøe muçiti kao prije. 11 Od onoga vremena, kad sam postavio suce nad svojim narodom Izraelom i pribavio sam ti mir pred tvojim neprijateljima. Gospodin ti javlja da øe ti on sagraditi kuøu. 12 Kad se navræe tvoji dani i poçineæ kod svojih otaca, odredit øu tvojega tjelesnog sina tvojim nasljednikom i utvrdit øu njegovo kraljevstvo. 13 On øe sagraditi dom mojem Imenu, i ja øu uçvrstiti njegovo kraljevsko prijestolje za sva vremena. 14 Ja øu mu biti otac, on neka mi bude sin! Poçini li zlodjela, kaznit øu ga prutom ljudskim i udarcima kako ih zadaju ljudi. 15 Ali naklonost moja neøe se nikada odvratiti od njega, kako sam je odvratio od Saula, koga sam uklonio od tebe. 16 Kuøa tvoja i kraljevstvo tvoje stajat øe pred tobom dovijeka. Tvoje øe prijestolje stajati tvrdo dovijeka!’ ” 17 Po svim ovim rijeçima i po svoj ovoj objavi Natan je govorio s Davidu. 18 Onda otiæao kralj David, pao pred Gospodinom i pomolio se: “Tko sam ja, Gospodine Boœe? Æto je moja kuøa, da si me doveo do ovdje? 19 I nije ti to joæ bilo dosta, Gospodine Boœe, i ti si kuøi svojega sluge dao obeøanje za daleka vremena.

After this it happened that David attacked the Philistines and subdued them. And David took Metheg Ammah from the hand of the Philistines. 2 Then he defeated Moab. Forcing them down to the ground, he measured them off with a line. With two lines he measured off those to be put to death, and with one full line those to be kept alive. So the Moabites became David’s servants, and brought tribute. 3 David also defeated Hadadezer the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his territory at the River Euphrates. 4 David took from him one thousand chariots, seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand foot soldiers. Also David hamstrung all the chariot horses, except that he spared enough of them for one hundred chariots. 5 When the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David killed twenty-two thousand of the Syrians. 6 Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus; and the Syrians became David’s servants, and brought tribute. The LORD preserved David wherever he went. 7 And David took the shields of gold that had belonged to the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem. 8 Also from Betah and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, King David took a large amount of bronze. 9 When Toi king of Hamath heard that David had defeated all the army of Hadadezer, 10 then Toi sent Joram his son to King David, to greet him and bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and defeated him; for Hadadezer had wars with Toi. And Joram brought with him articles of silver, articles of gold, and articles of bronze. 11 King David dedicated these to the LORD, along with the silver and gold that he had dedicated from all

Davidove pobjede. Njegovi çinovnici

I dogodilo se poslije toga, pobijedio je David Filistejce, podjarmio ih i uçinio tako kraj prevlasti Filistejaca na obali. 2 I Moabce je pobio i izmjerio ih uzicom povaljavæi ih na zemlju. Dvije uzice izmjerio za one koji su bili odreåeni za smrt, a jednu punu uzicu za one koji su imali ostati na œivotu. Tako su postali Moabci Davidu podloœni i morali su plaøati danak. 3 David je pobijedio i Hadadezera, sina Rehobova, sobskoga kralja, kad se spremio opet uspostaviti svoju vlast na rijeci Eufrat. 4 Njemu je David zarobio tisuøu bojnih kola, sedam stotina konjanika i dvadeset tisuøa pjeæaka. Sve konje bojnih kola dao je David ohromiti; osim æto je ostavio samo toliko za stotinu bojnih kola. 5 Kad su Sirijci od Damaska doæli u pomoø Hadadezeru, sobskom kralju, pobio je David dvadeset i dvije tisuøe Sirijaca. 6 Potom je namjestio David namjesnike u Damasku u Siriji, i Sirijci su postali podloœni Davidu i obvezani na danak. Tako je pomagao Bog Davidu u svemu æto bi poduzimao. 7 David je zaplijenio zlatne ætitove æto su ih imale sluge Hadadezerove, i donio ih u Jeruzalem. 8 U Betahu Berotaju, gradovima Hadadezerovim, kralj David je zaplijenio veoma mnogo mjedi. 9 Kad je Tou, hamatski kralj, doznao, da je David pobio svu Hadadezerovu vojsku, 10 poslao je Tou svojega sina Jorama kralju Davidu da ga pozdravi i zaœeli mu sreøu æto se borio protiv Hadadezera i pobijedio ga.

Now David said, “Is there still anyone who is left of the house of Saul, that I may show him kindness for Jonathan’s sake?” 2 And there was a servant of the house of Saul whose name was Ziba. So when they had called him to David, the king said to him, “Are you Ziba?” And he said, “At your service!” 3 Then the king said, “Is there not still someone of the house of Saul, to whom I may show the kindness of God?” And Ziba said to the king, “There is still a son of Jonathan who is lame in his feet.” 4 So the king said to him, “Where is he?” And Ziba said to the king, “Indeed he is in the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, in Lo Debar.” 5 Then King David sent and brought him out of the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, from Lo Debar. 6 Now when Mephibosheth the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, had come to David, he fell on his face and prostrated himself. Then David said, “Mephibosheth?” And he answered, “Here is your servant!” 7 So David said to him, “Do not fear, for I will surely show you kindness for Jonathan your father’s sake, and will restore to you all the land of Saul your grandfather; and you shall eat bread at my table continually.” 8 Then he bowed himself, and said, “What is your servant, that you should look upon such a dead dog as I?” 9 And the king called to Ziba, Saul’s servant, and said to him, “I have given to your master’s son all that belonged to Saul and to all his house. 10 You therefore, and your sons and your servants, shall work the land for him, and you shall bring in the harvest, that your master’s son may have food to eat. But Mephibosheth your master’s son shall eat bread at my table always.” Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants. 11 Then Ziba said to the king, “According to all that my lord the king has commanded his servant, so will your servant do.” “As for Mephibosheth,” said the king, “he shall eat at my table like one of the king’s sons.” 12 Mephibosheth had a young son whose name was Micha. And all who dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants of Mephibosheth. 13 So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem, for he ate

Milost Davidova prema Mefiboæetu

Jednoga dana upitao David: “Œivi li joæ tko koji je ostao od Saulove kuøe da bi mu iskazao milosråe zbog Jonatana.” 2 A bio je u Saulovoj kuøi sluga po imenu Siba. Tako su ga dozvali k Davidu i kralj ga upitao: “Jesi li ti Siba?” On je odgovorio: “Jesam, tebi na sluœbu.” 3 Kralj je upitao: “Zar nitko viæe ne œivi od kuøe Saulove komu bi mogao iskazati Boœje milosråe.” Siba je odgovorio kralju: “Œivi joæ sin Jonatanov, koji je hrom na obje noge.” 4 A kralj je upitao: “Gdje je?”, Siba je odgovorio kralju: “On je u kuøi Makira, Amielova sina, u Lo-Debaru.” 5 Onda je poslao kralj David i dao ga dovesti iz kuøe Makira, sina Amielova, iz Lo-Debara. 6 I kad je Mefiboæet, sin Jonatanov, unuk Saulov, doæao k Davidu, pao je niçice na svoje lice i poklonio se. David mu je rekao: “Mefiboæete!” On je odgovorio: “Evo tvojega sluge!” 7 A David mu je rekao: “Ne boj se, jer øu ti ja zbog tvojega oca Jonatana iskazati milost i natrag øu ti dati sve imanje tvojega djeda Saula. Ti øeæ sam dovijeka jesti za mojim stolom.” 8 Onda se on poklonio i rekao: “Æto je tvoj sluga da se tako brineæ za mrtva psa kao æto sam ja?” 9 Nato je dao kralj da doåe sluga Saulov Siba i zapovjedio mu: “Sve æto pripada Saulu i cijeloj njegovoj kuøi predajem sinu tvojega gospodara. 10 Ti øeæ mu, sa svojim sinovima i slugama, obraåivati polje i unositi œetvu, da sin tvojega gospodara mogne œivjeti. Mefiboæet, sin tvojega gospodara, uvijek øe jesti za mojim stolom.” Siba je imao petnaest sinova i dvadeset slugu. 11 Tada je Siba obeøao kralju: “Kako gospodar kralj zapovjeda svojem sluzi toçno øe tako uçiniti tvoj sluga. A za Mefiboæeta rekao je kralj: “On moœe jesti za mojim stolom kao jedan od kraljevih sinova.” 12 Mefiboæet je imao sina po imenu Mika. Svi koji su stanovali u kuøi Sibinoj bili su na sluœbu Mefiboæetu. 13 Mefiboæet je boravio u Jeruzalemu, jer je uvijek jeo za kraljevim stolom. A bio je hrom na obje noge.

And it happened after this that the king of the sons of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his place. 2 Then David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent by the hand of his servants to comfort him concerning his father. And David’s servants came into the land of the sons of Ammon. 3 Then the princes of the sons of Ammon said to Hanun their lord, “Do you think that David really honors your father because he has sent comforters to you? Has David not rather sent his servants to you to search the city, to spy it out, and to overthrow it?” 4 Therefore Hanun took David’s servants, shaved off half of their beards, cut off their garments in the middle, at their buttocks, and sent them away. 5 When they told David, he sent to meet them, because the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, “Wait at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return.” 6 So when the sons of Ammon saw that they had made themselves repulsive to David, the sons of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Beth Rehob and the Syrians of Zoba, twenty thousand foot soldiers; and from King Maacah one thousand men, and from Ish-Tob twelve thousand men. 7 Now when David heard of it, he sent Joab and all the army of the mighty men. 8 Then the sons of Ammon came out and put themselves in battle array at the entrance of the gate. And the Syrians of Zoba, Rehob, Ish-Tob, and Maacah were by themselves in the field. 9 When Joab saw that the battle line was against him before and behind, he chose some of the choice men of Israel and put them in battle array against the Syrians. 10 And the rest of the people he put under the command of Abishai his brother, that he might put them in battle array against the sons of Ammon. 11 Then he said, “If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you shall help me. But if the sons of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will come and help you. 12 Be of good courage, and let us be strong for our people and for the cities of our God. And may the LORD do what seems good to him.” 13 So Joab and the people who were with him drew near for the battle against the Syrians, and they fled before him. 14 And when the sons of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fleeing, they also fled before Abishai, and entered the city. So Joab returned from the sons of Ammon and went to Jerusalem. 15 Now when the Syrians saw that they had been defeated before Israel, they gathered together. 16 Then Hadadezer sent and brought out the Syrians who were beyond the River, and they came to Helam. And Shobach the commander of Hadadezer’s army went before them. 17 When it was told David, he gathered all Israel, crossed over the Jordan, and came to Helam. And the Syrians set themselves in battle array against David and fought with him. 18 Then the Syrians fled before Israel; and David killed seven hundred charioteers and forty thousand horsemen of the Syrians, and struck Shobach the commander of their army, who died there. 19 And when all the kings who were servants to Hadadezer saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with Israel and served them.

Poslije toga umro je kralj Amonova naroda. Njegov sin Hanun uzaæao je mjesto njega na prijestolje. 2 David je mislio: “Imat øu prijateljske odnose s Hanunom, sinom Nahaæovim, jer je i njegov otac stajao sa mnom u dobrom odnosu.” I poslao je David i dao mu preko svojih poslanika izreøi svoju suøut zbog njegova oca. I Davidovi poslanici su doæli u zemlju Amonaca. 3 Onda su rekli poglavari Amonaca Hanunu, svojem gospodaru: “Misliæ li da David çasti tvojega oca kad ti æalje poslanike, da te utjeæe? Dapaçe, æalje David svoje poslanike k tebi samo zato da promotri grad, da ga uhodi i onda da ga razori.” 4 Onda je dao Hanun poslanike Davidove uhvatiti, obrijati im pola brade i odsjeøi im haljine po pola sve do bokova, i tako ih otpremio. 5 Kad su to javili Davidu, poslao im u susret glasnike, jer su ljudi bili teæko pogråeni. Kralj im poruçio: “Ostanite u Jerihonu dok vam opet naraste brada; onda doåite kuøi!” 6 Kad su Amonci uvidjeli da su se omrazili s Davidom, poslali su Amonci i unajmili Sirijce od Bet-Rehoba i Sirijce od Sobe, dvadeset tisuøa pjeæaka, od kralja od Maake tisuøu ljudi i dvanaest tisuøa ljudi od stanovnika od Iæ-Toba. 7 Çim je to çuo David, poslao je Joaba sa svom vojskom samih junaka. 8 Amonci su izaæli i postavili se u bojni red pred vratima, a Sirijci od Sobe i Rehoba i ljudi od IæToba i Maake stajali su za sebe u polju. 9 Kad je Joab vidio da mu prijeti napad sprijeda i straga, izabrao je sebi odabrane Izraelce i namjestio se prema Sirijcima. 10 Ostatak vojske predao svojem bratu Abiæaju, i ovaj se namjestio prema Amonovu narodu. 11 Joab je rekao: “Ako Sirijci budu jaçi od mene, moraæ mi doøi u pomoø. Ako li Amonci budu jaçi od tebe, ja øu tebi doøi u pomoø. 12 Samo budi hrabar, i budimo jaki za svoj narod i za gradove svojega Boga. Gospodin neka uçini æto mu se çini dobro!” 13 Tako je Joab, s çetama kojima je zapovjedao, izaæao da udari na Sirijce, oni su pobjegli ispred njega. 14 A çim su Amonci vidjeli da su Sirijci nagnuli u bijeg, pobjegli su i oni ispred Abiæaja i povukli se u grad. Nato je Joab otiæao od Amonaca i otiæao u Jeruzalem. 15 Kad su vidjeli Sirijci da su ih navladali Izraelci, skupili se opet. 16 Hadadezer, dapaçe, dao je podiøi Sirijce s onu stranu Rijeke, i oni su otiæli u Helam. A Æobak, Hadadezerov vojskovoåa, iæao je pred njima. 17 Kad su to javili Davidu, podigao je on sav Izrael, preæao preko Jordana i otiæao u Helam. A Sirijci se namjestili protiv Davida i pobili se s njim. 18 Ali Sirijci su morali nagnuti u bijeg ispred Izraelaca. David je uniætio od Sirijaca sedam stotina boraca bojnih kola i çetrdeset tisuøa konjanika. I njihova vojskovoåu Æobaka ondje pogubio. 19 Kad su vidjeli svi kraljevi, koji su bili podloœni Hadadezeru, da su ih Izraelci razbili, zakljuçili su mir s Izraelom i pokorili mu se. A Sirijci su se

Now it happened in the spring of the year, at the time when kings go out to battle, that David sent Joab and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the sons of Ammon and besieged Rabbah. But David remained at Jerusalem. 2 Then it happened one evening that David arose from his bed and walked on the roof of the king’s house. And from the roof he saw a woman bathing, and the woman was very beautiful to behold. 3 So David sent and inquired about the woman. And someone said, “Is this not Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?” 4 Then David sent messengers, and took her; and she came to him, and he lay with her, for she was cleansed from her impurity; and she returned to her house. 5 And the woman conceived; so she sent and told David, and said, “I am with child.” 6 Then David sent to Joab, saying, “Send me Uriah the Hittite.” And Joab sent Uriah to David. 7 When Uriah had come to him, David asked how Joab was doing, and how the people were doing, and how the war prospered. 8 And David said to Uriah, “Go down to your house and wash your feet.” So Uriah departed from the king’s house, and a gift of food from the king followed him. 9 But Uriah slept at the door of the king’s house with all the servants of his lord, and did not go down to his house. 10 So when they told David, saying, “Uriah did not go down to his house,” David said to Uriah, “Did you not come from a journey? Why did you not go down to your house?” 11 And Uriah said to David, “The Ark and Israel and Judah are dwelling in tents, and my lord Joab and the servants of my lord are encamped in the open fields. Shall I then go to my house to eat and drink, and to lie with my wife? As you live, and as your soul lives, I will not do this thing.” 12 Then David said to Uriah, “Wait here today also, and tomorrow I will let you depart.” So Uriah remained in Jerusalem that day and the next. 13 Now when David called him, he ate and drank before him; and he made him drunk. And at evening he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, but he did not go down to his house. 14 Then in the morning it was so that David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it by the hand of Uriah. 15 And he wrote in the letter, saying, “Set Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retreat from him, that he may be struck down and die.” 16 So it happened, while Joab besieged the city, that he assigned Uriah to a place where he knew there were valiant men. 17 Then the men of the city came out and fought with Joab. And some of the people of the servants of David fell; and Uriah the Hittite died also. 18 Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war, 19 and charged the messenger, saying, “When you have finished telling the matters of the war to the king, 20 if it happens that the king’s wrath rises, and he says to you: ‘Why did you approach so near to the city when you fought? Did you not know that they would shoot from the wall? 21 Who struck Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? Was it not a woman who cast a piece of a millstone

Davidov grijeh

Dogodilo se u proljeøe iduøe godine, u vrijeme kad obiçno kraljevi idu na boj, da je David poslao Joaba s njegovim ljudima i s cijelim Izraelom; i oni su opustoæili zemlju Amonaca i opkolili Rabah. A David je bio ostao u Jeruzalemu. 2 Dogodilo se jednu veçer da se David podigao sa svoje postelje i proæetao po krovu kraljevskog dvora. A s krova vidio je œenu gdje se kupa, a œena je bila vrlo lijepa. 3 Onda je kralj poslao propitati se za œenu. Neki su mu rekli: “To je Batæeba, køi Eliamova, œena Hitejca Urije.” 4 Nato je poslao David poslanike i dao ju dovesti. Kad je doæla k njemu, on je legnuo s njom. Poæto se bila oçistila od svoje neçistoøe vratila se u svoju kuøu. 5 I œena je zatrudnjele, pa poslala i poruçila Davidu: “Trudna sam.” 6 Onda je isporuçio David Joabu zapovijed: “Poæalji mi Hitejca Uriju!” Joab je poslao Uriju k Davidu. 7 Kad je Urija doæao k njemu, upitao ga David kako je Joab i kako je vojska i kako ide rat. 8 Onda je rekao David Uriji: “Idi sada u svoju kuøu i operi sebi noge!” I kad je Urija ostavio kraljev dvor, iznijeli su za njim kraljevsko jelo. 9 Ali je Urija legnuo na vratima kraljevskog dvora kod sluga svojega gospodara, i nije otiæao u svoju kuøu. 10 Kad su to javili Davidu, govoreøi: “Urija nije otiæao u svoju kuøu.” Onda je upitao David Uriju: “Nisi li doæao s puta? Zaæto nisi otiæao u svoju kuøu?” 11 Urija je odgovorio Davidu: “Ækrinja i Izrael i Juda prebivaju u æatorima, i moj gospodar Joab i sluge mojega gospodara taboruju na slobodnu polju, pa da onda idem ja u svoju kuøu, da jedem i pijem i spavam kod svoje œene? Tako ti bio œiv i tako bila œiva tvoja duæa, neøu to uçiniti!” 12 Onda je rekao David Uriji: “Ostani joæ i danas ovdje, a sutra te otpuætam.” Tako je ostao Urija joæ onaj i sutraænji dan u Jeruzalemu. 13 Kad je na poziv Davidov kod njega jeo i pio, ovaj ga opojio. A uveçer je otiæao, legnuo na svoju postelju kod sluga svojega gospodara da spava i nije otiæao u svoju kuøu. 14 Iduøega jutra napisao je David pismo Joabu i poslao ga po Uriji. 15 U pismu je pisao: “Postavite Uriju sprijeda, gdje je najœeæøi boj, onda se povucite od njega da bude pogoåen i padne!” 16 I Joab je, kod opsjedanja grada, namjestio Uriju na mjesto gdje je znao da su bili hrabri ljudi. 17 Kad su onda graåani izaæli i na Joaba navalili, pali su neki od vojske, od Davidovih ljudi, i Hitejac Urija je naæao smrt. 18 Onda je Joab poslao k Davidu i javio mu sve æto je bilo u boju. 19 On je dao glasniku zapovijed “Kad pripovjediæ kralju sve æto je bilo u boju, 20 razgnjevit øe se kralj i upitat øe te: ‘Zaæto ste se u boju tako blizu primakli gradu? Zar niste znali da se strijelja sa zida? 21 Tko je ubio Abimeleka, sina Jerubaalova? Nije li œena bacila na njega sa zida gornji mlinski kamen, tako da je umro u Tebesu? Zaæto

But the thing that David had done displeased the LORD.

Then the LORD sent Nathan to David. And he came to him, and said to him: “There were two men in one city, one rich and the other poor. 2 The rich man had exceedingly many flocks and herds. 3 But the poor man had nothing, except one little ewe lamb which he had bought and nourished; and it grew up together with him and with his children. It ate of his own food and drank from his own cup and lay in his bosom; and it was like a daughter to him. 4 And a traveler came to the rich man, who refused to take from his own flock and from his own herd to prepare one for the wayfaring man who had come to him; but he took the poor man’s lamb and prepared it for the man who had come to him.” 5 Then David’s anger was greatly aroused against the man, and he said to Nathan, “As the LORD lives, the man who has done this shall surely die! 6 And he shall restore fourfold for the lamb, because he did this thing and because he had no pity.” 7 Then Nathan said to David, “You are the man! Thus says the LORD God of Israel: ‘I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you from the hand of Saul. 8 I gave you your master’s house and your master’s wives into your keeping, and gave you the house of Israel and Judah. And if that had been too little, I also would have given you much more! 9 Why have you despised the commandment of the LORD, to do evil in his sight? You have killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword; you have taken his wife to be your wife, and have killed him with the sword of the sons of Ammon. 10 Now therefore, the sword shall never depart from your house, because you have despised me, and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife.’ 11 Thus says the LORD: ‘Behold, I will raise up adversity against you from your own house; and I will take your wives before your eyes and give them to your neighbor, and he shall lie with your wives in the sight of this sun. 12 For you did it secretly, but I will do this thing before all Israel, before the sun.’ ” 13 Then David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the LORD.” And Nathan said to David, “The LORD also has put away your sin; you shall not die. 14 However, because by this deed you have given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blas-

Natan kori Davida. Salomonovo Roåenje

Onda je poslao Gospodin Natana k Davidu. Kad je on doæao k njemu, rekao mu: “U jednom gradu œivjela su dva çovjeka. Jedan je bio bogat, drugi siromah. 2 Bogati je imao vrlo mnogo ovaca i goveda. 3 Siromah nije imao niæta osim jednu jedinu malu ovçicu, koju je bio sebi kupio i hranio ju. Odrasla je uz njega i uz njegovu djecu. Jela je od njegova zalogaja i pila je iz njegove çaæe, spavala je na njegovim prsima i bila mu je kao køi. 4 Kad je jednoga dana doæao netko u posjet bogatomu çovjeku, njemu je bilo œao uzeti izmeåu svojih ovaca i goveda, da pripravi gozbu gostu koji ga je posjetio; nego je uzeo ovcu siromaænoga çovjeka i pripravio gostu koji se bio svratio k njemu.” 5 David se vrlo razgnjevio na toga çovjeka i rekao Natanu: “Tako mi œivoga Gospodina, zasluœio je smrt taj çovjek koji je to uçinio! 6 Ovcu øe çetverostruko naknaditi, jer je tako radio i nije bio milosrdan!” 7 Natan je odgovorio Davidu: “Ti si taj çovjek! ‘Ovako govori Gospodin, Bog Izraelov: ‘Ja sam te pomazao za kralja nad Izraelom, i ja sam te izbavio iz ruke Saulove. 8 Dao sam ti kuøu tvojega gospodara i œene tvojega gospodara na tvoje krilo. Predao sam ti kuøu Izraelovu i Judinu. I ako bi to bilo malo, dao bih ti joæ viæe. 9 Zaæto si prezreo zapovijed Gospodinovu i uçinio to æto mu nije bilo po volji? Hitejca Uriju ubio si maçem i njegovu œenu uzeo sebi za œenu, i njega si dao ubiti maçem Amonaca. 10 Zato sada se neøe nikada odmaknuti maç od tvoje kuøe, jer si prezreo mene i uzeo œenu Hitejca Urije sebi za œenu.’ 11 Ovako govori Gospodin: ‘Evo, ja øu dati da po tvojoj vlastitoj kuøi doåe zlo na tebe. Uzet øu ti tvoje œene pred tvojim oçima i dat øu ih drugomu. On øe, na vidiku sunca, ondje zlo çiniti sa œenama tvojim. 12 Ti si doduæe çinio tajno, ali øu ja ovu prijetnju izvesti pred oçima svega Izraela i po bijelom danu.’ ” 13 Onda je rekao David Natanu: “Sagrijeæio sam Gospodinu.” Natan je odgovorio Davidu: “I Gospodin je tebi oprostio tvoj grijeh; neøeæ

For they said, “Indeed, 18 I dogodilo se sedmoga dana dijete je umrlo. while the child was still alive, we spoke to him, and he Davidovi dvorani su mu se bojali javiti za smrt would not heed our voice.

Now after this it was so that Absalom the son of David had a lovely sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her. 2 Amnon was so distressed over his sister Tamar that he became sick; for she was a virgin. And it was improper for Amnon to do anything to her. 3 But Amnon had a friend whose name was Jonadab

Poslije toga Absalom, sin Davidov, imao je lijepu sestru po imenu Tamaru, a Amnon sin Davidov, zavolio ju. 2 Toliko je tugovao Amnon da se razbolio zbog svoje sestre Tamare. Kako je ona bila djevojka, to se Amnonu çinilo nemoguøe da se s njom moœe ikako druœiti.

David je tugovao za svojim sinom svaki dan. 38 Poæto je Absalom bio pobjegao i u doæao Geæur, ostao je ondje tri godine. 39 Kralj David prestao se srditi zbog Absaloma, jer se bio pomirio s tim, da je umro Amnon.

So Joab the son of Zeruiah perceived that the king’s heart was concerned about Absalom. 2 And Joab sent to Tekoa and brought from there a wise woman, and said to her, “Please pretend to be a mourner, and put on mourning apparel; do not anoint yourself with oil, but act like a woman who has been mourning a long time for the dead. 3 Go to the king and speak to him in this manner.” So Joab put the words in her mouth. 4 And when the woman of Tekoa spoke to the king, she fell on her face to the ground and prostrated herself, and said, “Help, O king!” 5 Then the king said to her, “What troubles you?” And she answered, “Indeed I am a widow, my hus-

Joabova namjera

Tako je Joab, sin Serujin, opazio da se kraljevo srce opet okrenulo k Absalomu. 2 Poslao Joab u Tekou i odande doveo lukavu œenu, i rekao joj: “Uçini se kao da bi bila u œalosti, odjeni œalobne haljine i nemoj se namazati uljem, nego se ponaæaj kao œena koja odavna œali za mrtvim! 3 Idi tako kralju i govori mu ovako!” I Joab je stavio rijeçi u njezina usta. 4 Œena Tekoanka otiæla je kralju, bacila se na zemlju niçice na svoje lice, poklonila mu se i zamolila: “Pomozi, kralju!”

She was a 27 Absalomu su se tri sina i jedna køi po imenu Tamara.

And when he poæalje kralju, ali on nije htio poøi k njemu. Kad je poslao po drugi put, nije htio opet doøi. sent again the second time, he would not come. 30 So he said to his servants, “See, Joab’s field is 30 Absalom je zapovjedio svojim slugama: near mine, and he has barley there; go and set it on “Znate, Joab ima njivu pokraj moje i na njoj je jeçam; idite i zapalite ju!” I zapalili su sluge Abfire.” And Absalom’s servants set the field on fire. 31 Then Joab arose and came to Absalom’s house, salomove onu njivu. and said to him, “Why have your servants set my field 31 Sada se podigao Joab, otiæao k Absalomu u kuøu i upitao ga: “Zaæto su tvoje sluge zapalile on fire?” 32 And Absalom answered Joab, “Look, I sent to you, moju njivu?” saying, ‘Come here, so that I may send you to the 32 Absalom je odgovorio Joabu: “Eto, slao sam king, to say, why have I come from Geshur?

After this it happened that Absalom provided himself with chariots and horses, and fifty men to run before him. 2 Now Absalom would rise early and stand beside the way to the gate. So it was, whenever anyone who had a lawsuit came to the king for a decision, that Absalom would call to him and say, “What city are you from?” And he would say, “Your servant is from such and such a tribe of Israel.” 3 Then Absalom would say to him, “Look, your case is good and right; but there is no deputy of the king to hear you.” 4 Moreover Absalom would say, “Oh, that I were made judge in the land, and everyone who has any suit or cause would come to me; then I would give him justice.” 5 And so it was, whenever anyone came near him to bow down to him, that he would put out his hand and take him and kiss him. 6 In this manner Absalom acted toward all Israel who came to the king for judgment. So Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel. 7 And it happened after forty years that Absalom said to the king, “Please, let me go to Hebron and pay the vow which I vowed to the LORD. 8 For your servant vowed a vow while I dwelt at Geshur in Syria, saying, ‘If the LORD indeed brings me back to Jerusalem, then I will serve the LORD.’ ” 9 And the king said to him, “Go in peace.” So he arose and went to Hebron. 10 Then Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes

Absalomova buna. Davidov bijeg

Poslije toga Absalom je sebi nabavio bojnih kola i konja, uz to pedeset ljudi koji su trçali pred njim. 2 Rano ujutro stajao bi Absalom na putu kraj vrata. Svakoga, koji je imao parnicu i htio poøi kralju na sud, Absalom bi dozvao k sebi i upitao: “Iz kojega si grada?” Kad bi onaj odgovorio: “Sluga je tvoj iz toga i toga Izraelova plemena.” 3 Onda bi mu rekao Absalom: “Eto, tvoja je stvar dobra i pravedna, ali te nema tko sasluæati kod kralja.” 4 Absalom bi joæ rekao: “Kad bi se mene postavilo za suca u zemlji, svaki koji ima parnicu ili kakav pravni posao, mogao bi doøi k meni i ja bih mu veø pribavio njegovo pravo.” 5 I kad bi mu tko pristupio da mu se pokloni, on bi pruœio svoju ruku, te bi ga privukao k sebi i poljubio ga. 6 Tako je çinio Absalom sa svim Izraelovim sinovima koji su dolazili kralju da im sudi. S tim je Absalom primamljivao srca Izraelovih ljudi. 7 Dogodilo se nakon çetrdeset godina, Absalom je rekao kralju: “Htio bih otiøi i u Hebronu izvræiti svoj zavjet æto sam ga uçinio Gospodinu.” 8 Jer kad sam boravio u Geæuru u Siriji, uçinio je tvoj sluga ovaj zavjet: “Ako dade Gospodin, te se vratim u Jeruzalem, prinijet øu Gospodinu œrtvu.”

Neprestano plaçuøi penjali se gore. weeping as they went up. 31 Then someone told David, saying, “Ahithophel is 31 Kad su javili Davidu da je Ahitofel meåu bunamong the conspirators with Absalom.” And David tovnicima kod Absaloma, povikao je David: “O said, “O LORD, I pray, turn the counsel of Ahithophel Gospodine, obezumi savjet Ahitofelov!” 32 Kad je David doæao na vrh gore, gdje je bio into foolishness!” 32 Now it happened when David had come to the top obiçaj çastiti Boga, susreo ga iznenada Arkiof the mountain, where he worshiped God, that there janin Huæaj razdrte haljine i glave posute prawas Hushai the Archite, coming to meet him with his hom. 33 David mu rekao: “Ako poåeæ sa mnom, robe torn and dust on his head. 33 David said to him, “If you go on with me, then you samo si mi na teret. 34 Ali ako se vratiæ u grad i rekneæ Absalomu: will become a burden to me. 34 But if you return to the city, and say to Absalom, ‘I ‘Sluga sam tvoj, kralju; kako sam prije bio sluga will be your servant, O king; just as I have been your tvojem ocu, tako sam sada sluga tebi;’–onda father’s servant previously, so I will now also be your moœeæ razbiti savjet Ahitofelov. servant,’ then you may defeat the counsel of 35 I sveøenici Sadok i Abiatar bit øe ondje s tobom.

And Absalom came into Jerusalem.

When David was a little past the top of the mountain, there was Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth, who met him with a couple of saddled donkeys, and on them two hundred loaves of bread, one hundred clusters of raisins, one hundred summer fruits, and a skin of wine. 2 And the king said to Ziba, “What do you mean to do with these?” So Ziba said, “The donkeys are for the king’s household to ride on, the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat, and the wine for those who are faint in the wilderness to drink.” 3 Then the king said, “And where is your master’s son?” And Ziba said to the king, “Indeed he is staying in Jerusalem, for he said, ‘Today the house of Israel will restore the kingdom of my father to me.’ ” 4 So the king said to Ziba, “Here, all that belongs to Mephibosheth is yours.” And Ziba said, “I humbly bow before you, that I may find favor in your sight, my lord, O king!” 5 Now when King David came to Bahurim, there was a man from the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei the son of Gera, coming from there. He came out, cursing continuously as he came. 6 And he threw stones at David and at all the servants of King David. And all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left. 7 Also Shimei said thus when he cursed: “Come out! Come out! You bloodthirsty man, you rogue! 8 The LORD has brought upon you all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose place you have reigned; and the LORD has delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom your son. So now you are caught in your own evil, because you are a bloodthirsty man!” 9 Then Abishai the son of Zeruiah said to the king, “Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Please, let me go over and take off his head!” 10 And the king said, “What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah? So let him curse, because the LORD has said to him, ‘Curse David.’ Who then shall say, ‘Why have you done so?’ ” 11 And David said to Abishai and all his servants, “See how my son who came from my own body seeks my life. How much more now may this Benjamite?

David je upravo vrh prekoraçio kad mu doæao mu u susret Siba, momak Mefiboæetov, s dva osedlana magarca. Oni su nosili dvjesta kruhova, stotinu suhih grozdova, stotinu voønjaça i mijeh vina. 2 Kralj je upitao Sibu: “Æto øeæ s tim?” Siba je odgovorio: “Magarci su za obitelj kraljevu da jaæe, kruhovi i voøe da jedu momci, a vino da piju oni koji se umore u pustinji,” 3 Kralj je upitao: “Gdje je sin tvojega gospodara?” Siba je odgovorio kralju “On je ostao u Jeruzalemu, jer je mislio: ‘Danas øe mi kuøa Izraelova vratiti kraljevstvo mojega oca.’” 4 Onda je kralj rekao Sibi: “Tvoje neka bude sve æto posjeduje Mefiboæet!” Siba je odgovorio: “Bacam se niçice, jer sam naæao milost u tvojim oçima, gospodaru kralju!” 5 Kad je kralj David bio stigao u Bahurim, izaæao je odande çovjek od roda kuøe Saulove, po imenu Æimej, sin Gerin. On se pribliœavao ruœno psujuøi. 6 Pritom se bacao kamenjem na Davida i na sluge kralja Davida, na narod i ratnike s desne i s lijeve strane. 7 Ovako Æimej je psovao: “Odlazi, odlazi, ti krvopijo, ti niætarijo! 8 Sad donosi Gospodin na tebe krv kuøe Saulove, na çije mjesto si sebe uçinio kraljem. Gospodin predaje kraljevstvo tvojem sinu Absalomu. Ti si, eto, pao u nesreøu jer si krvopija.” 9 Onda je rekao Abiæaj, sin Serujin, kralju: “Zaæto da psuje ovaj mrtvi pas mojega gospodara i kralja? Pusti me da mu skinem glavu!” 10 Ali kralj je rekao: “Æto ja imam s vama, Serujini sinovi? Kad on tako psuje i Gospodin ga nadahnuo: ‘Psuj Davida!,’ tko smije onda pitati: ‘Zaæto tako çiniæ?’ ” 11 Onda je rekao David Abiæaju i svim svojim slugama: “Kad moj tjelesni sin traœi tvoj œivot, a kako neøe ovaj sin Benjaminov? Pustite ga neka psuje, jer mu je to udahnuo Gospodin. 12 Moœda pogleda Gospodin na moju nevolju i

So was all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom.

Moreover Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Now let me choose twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue David tonight. 2 I will come upon him while he is weary and weak, and make him afraid. And all the people who are with him will flee, and I will strike only the king. 3 Then I will bring back all the people to you. When all return except the man whom you seek, then all the people will be at peace.” 4 And the saying pleased Absalom and all the elders of Israel. 5 Then Absalom said, “Now call Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear what he says too.” 6 And when Hushai came to Absalom, Absalom spoke to him, saying, “Ahithophel has spoken in this manner. Shall we do as he says? If not, speak up.” 7 So Hushai said to Absalom: “The counsel that Ahithophel has given is not good at this time.” 8 For,” said Hushai, “you know your father and his men, that they are mighty men, and they are enraged in their minds, like a bear robbed of her cubs in the field; and your father is a man of war, and will not camp with the people. 9 Surely by now he is hidden in some pit, or in some other place. And it will be, when some of them are overthrown at the first, that whoever hears it will say, ‘There is a slaughter among the people who follow Absalom.’ 10 And even he who is valiant, whose heart is like the heart of a lion, will melt completely. For all Israel knows that your father is a mighty man, and those

Absalom ide u boj na Davida

Nato je predloœio Ahitofel Absalomu: “Hoøu da izaberem sebi dvanaest tisuøa ljudi, da joæ ove noøi idem u potjeru za Davidom. 2 Ja øu ga stiøi, jer je posve izmoren, i prepast øu ga. Sva øe vojska, koja je s njim, pobjeøi i ja mogu ubiti kralja samoga. 3 Onda øu dovesti svu vojsku k tebi. Kad se svi ratnici, kao æto œeliæ, povrate, zavladat øe mir u svemu narodu.” 4 Taj je savjet bio po volji Absalomu i svima Izraelovim starjeæinama. 5 Ipak je zapovjedio Absalom: “Neka se joæ dozove Arkijanin Huæaj, da çujemo æto øe on reøi.” 6 Kad je doæao Huæaj k Absalomu, priopøio mu Absalom: “Tako je svjetovao Ahitofel, imamo li izvesti njegov prijedlog? Ako ne, govori ti!” 7 A Huæaj je odgovorio Absalomu: “Savjet Ahitofelov nije ovaj put dobar.” 8 I Huæaj je nastavio: “Ti znaæ da su junaci tvoj otac i njegovi ljudi, puni ljute srçanosti kao medvjedica u polju kad joj otmu medvjediøe. Uz to je tvoj otac bojnik koji s ljudima ne drœi noønoga sna. 9 On se sada sigurno sakrio u kakvu jamu ili gdje drugdje.

And Joab was told, “Behold, the king is weeping and mourning for Absalom.” 2 So the victory that day was turned into mourning for all the people. For the people heard it said that day, “The king is grieved for his son.” 3 And the people stole back into the city that day, as people who are ashamed steal away when they flee in battle. 4 But the king covered his face, and the king cried out with a loud voice, “O my son Absalom!

Davidovo jadikovanje

Javili su Joabu da kralj plaçe i jadikuje za Absalomom. 2 Tako se pobjeda onoga dana okrenula u œalost za sav narod. Jer je narod saznao u onaj dan da kralj tuguje za svojim sinom. 3 Zato je narod uæao u grad kradom, kao æto se sakriva vojska koja se stidi, jer je pobjegla iz bitke. 4 Kralj je pokrio svoje lice. “Moj sine Ab-

And there happened to be there a rebel, whose name was Sheba the son of Bichri, a Benjamite. And he blew a trumpet, and said: “We have no part in David, nor do we have inheritance in the son of Jesse; every man to his tents, O Israel!” 2 So every man of Israel deserted David, and followed Sheba the son of Bichri. But the men of Judah, from the Jordan as far as Jerusalem, remained loyal to their king. 3 Now David came to his house at Jerusalem. And the king took the ten women, his concubines whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in seclusion and supported them, but did not go in to them. So they were shut up to the day of their death, living in widowhood. 4 Then the king said to Amasa, “Assemble the men of Judah for me within three days, and be present here yourself.” 5 So Amasa went to assemble the men of Judah. But he delayed longer than the set time which David had appointed him. 6 And David said to Abishai, “Now Sheba the son of Bichri will do us more harm than Absalom. Take your lord’s servants and pursue him, lest he find for himself fortified cities, and escape us.” 7 So Joab’s men, with the Cherethites, the Pelethites, and all the mighty men, went out after him. And they went out of Jerusalem to pursue Sheba the son of Bichri. 8 When they were at the large stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa came before them. Now Joab was dressed in battle armor; on it was a belt with a sword fastened in its sheath at his hips; and as he was going forward, it fell out. 9 Then Joab said to Amasa, “Are you in health, my brother?” And Joab took Amasa by the beard with his right hand to kiss him. 10 But Amasa did not notice the sword that was in Joab’s hand. And he struck him with it in the stomach, and his entrails poured out on the ground; and he did not strike him again. Thus he died. Then Joab and Abishai his brother pursued Sheba the son of Bichri. 11 Meanwhile one of Joab’s men stood near Amasa, and said, “Whoever favors Joab and whoever is for David, let him follow Joab!” 12 But Amasa wallowed in his blood in the middle of the highway. And when the man saw that all the people stood still, he moved Amasa from the highway to the field and threw a garment over him, when he saw that everyone who came upon him halted. 13 When he was removed from the highway, all the people went on after Joab to pursue Sheba the son of Bichri. 14 And he went through all the tribes of Israel to Abel and Beth Maachah and all the Berites. So they were gathered together and also went after Sheba. 15 Then they came and besieged him in Abel of Beth Maachah; and they cast up a siege mound against the city, and it stood by the rampart. And all the people who were with Joab battered the wall to throw it down. 16 Then a wise woman cried out from the city, “Hear, Hear! Please say to Joab, ‘Come nearby, that I may

Pobuna Æebe. Joab ubija Amasu

Sluçajno je bio ondje opak çovjek po imenu Æeba, sin Bikrijev, Benjaminovac. On je zatrubio u trubu i povikao: “Mi nemamo dijela s Davidom, niti imamo nasljedstva sa sinom Jesejevim. Svaki neka se vrati u svoj æator, Izraelovi sinovi!” 2 Nato su svi Izraelci otpali od Davida i prikljuçili se Æebi, sinu Bikrijevu. A Judejci su otpratili svojega kralja od Jordana u Jeruzalem. 3 Kad je David bio doæao u svoj dvor u Jeruzalem, dao je deset suloœnica, koje je bio ostavio da çuvaju kuøu, odvesti u posebnu kuøu, i brinuo se za njihovo uzdrœavanje, ali nije viæe opøio s njima. Tako su œivjele do svoje smrti zatvorene kao udovice iza œivota muœa. 4 Potom je zapovjedio kralj Amasi: “Sazovi mi Judejce za tri dana, i ti isto tako budi ovdje!” 5 I Amasa otiæao da sazove Judejce. A kad je zaostao preko vremena æto mu ga je bio odredio. 6 I David je rekao Abiæaju: “Sad øe nam Æeba, sin Bikrijev, biti opasniji od Absaloma. Uzmi ti ljude svojega gospodara i progoni ga! Inaçe, dobit øe tvrde gradove i zadat øe nam puno jada.” 7 Joabovi ljudi su izaæli pod njegovim vodstvom, uz to Keretejci i Peletejci, i svi ratnici junaci. Ostavili Jeruzalem, da gone Æebu, sina Bikrijeva. 8 Kad su doæli na veliki kamen kod Gibeona, susreo ih Amasa. Joab je bio odjeven u haljinu dobedricu. Na njoj je visio bodeœ, koji je u koricama bio svezan uz bedro. Kad je poæao naprijed, bodeœ mu ispao na tlo. 9 Onda Joab upitao Amasu: “Jesi li zdravo, dragi brate?” I prihvatio Joab desnom rukom Amasu za bradu da ga poljubi. 10 A Amasa nije opazio maç u ruci Joabovoj. Tako mu ga je on mogao zabosti u slabine, tako da su se njegova crijeva prosula na zemlju. On je umro, a da nije trebao joæ drugi mu ubod zabosti. Potom su Joab i njegov brat Abiæaj otiæli su dalje u potjeru za Æebom, sinom Bikrijevim. 11 Jedan od Joabovih ljudi morao je ostati kod Amase i viknuti: “Tko se drœi uz Joaba i tko je za Davida, neka ide za Joabom!” 12 Amasa, sav obliven krvlju, leœao je nasred puta. Kad je onaj çovjek vidio da se svi ljudi zaustavljaju, odvukao je Amasu s puta u polje i stavio na njega haljinu, jer svaki koji je prolazio motrio bi ga i zaustavio bi se. 13 Çim ga je bio uklonio s puta, prikljuçili se svi Joabu, da tjeraju Æebu, sina Bikrijeva. 14 A on je proæao sva plemena Izraelova do u Abelu Bet-Maaku, ali su ga svi gradovi prezreli, pa i progonili. 15 Svi Joabovi ljudi doæli su i opkolili ga u Abeli Bet-Maaki, iskopali opkop oko grada tako da su stajali pred gradskim zidom i potkopavali zid da ga sruæe. 16 Onda je viknula jedna mudra œena iz grada: “Çujte, çujte! Recite Joabu neka doåe ovamo! Htjela bih s njim govoriti.”

Now there was a famine in the days of David for three years, year after year; and David inquired of the LORD. And the LORD answered, “It is because of Saul and his bloodthirsty house, because he killed the Gibeonites.” 2 So the king called the Gibeonites and spoke to them. Now the Gibeonites were not of the sons of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites; the sons of Israel had sworn protection to them, but Saul had sought to kill them in his zeal for the sons of Israel and Judah. 3 Therefore David said to the Gibeonites, “What shall I do for you? And with what shall I make atonement, that you may bless the inheritance of the LORD?” 4 And the Gibeonites said to him, “We will have no silver or gold from Saul or from his house, nor shall you kill any man in Israel for us.” And he said, “Whatever you say, that will I do for you.” 5 So they answered the king, “As for the man who consumed us and plotted against us, that we should be destroyed from remaining in any of the territories of Israel, 6 let seven men of his descendants be delivered to us, and we will hang them before the LORD in Gibeah of Saul, whom the LORD chose.” And the king said, “I will give them.” 7 But the king spared Mephibosheth the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, because of the Lord’s oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul. 8 So the king took Armoni and Mephibosheth, the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul; and the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she brought up for Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite; 9 and he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them on the hill before

Davidovi ratovi s Filistejcima

Jedanput, u Davidovim danima, tri godine vladala je glad, iz godine u godinu. I David je upitao Gospodina. “Na Saulu i njegovoj kuøi leœi krvna krivnja,” odgovorio je Gospodin, “jer je pogubio Gibeonce.” 2 Onda je kralj dozvao Gibeonce i rekao im. Gibeonci, naime, ne pripadaju Izraelovim sinovima nego ostacima Amorejaca. Premda su im se Izraelovi sinovi bili obvezali zakletvom, traœio je Saul u svojoj revnosti za Izraelove sinove i Judejce da ih uniæti. 3 Stoga je David upitao Gibeonce: “Æto da vam uçinim i çime da vas namirim da biste blagoslovili Gospodinovu baætinu!” 4 Gibeonci su mu odgovorili: “Ne traœimo ni srebra ni zlata od Saula i njegove kuøe. Niti nam je do toga da se itko pogubi u Izraelu.” On ih upitao: “Pa æto hoøete, ja øu vam uçiniti.” 5 Oni su odgovorili kralju: “Çovjek, koji nas je zatirao i smiæljao da nas iskorijeni, da nas ne bude nigdje u Izraelovu podruçju, 6 od njegovih sinova neka nam se dade sedam ljudi, a mi øemo ih pred Gospodinom u Gibei Saulovoj na gori Gospodinovoj objesiti.” Kralj je rekao: “Dat øu vam ih.” 7 Ali Mefiboæeta, sina Jonatana, sina Saulova, kralj je saçuvao zbog zakletve poloœene pred Gospodinom, koja je bila meåu njima, Davidom i Jonatanom, Saulovim sinom. 8 I uzeo je kralj oba sina koje je rodila Saulu Rispah, køi Ajina, Armonija i Mefiboæeta, i pet sinova koje Mikala, køi Saulova rodila Adrielu, sinu Meholaja Barzilaja. 9 Ove je dao u ruke Gibeoncima, a oni ih objesili na gori pred Gospodinom. Tako su sedmorica poginuli u isto vrijeme. U prvim danima œetve, u

Then David spoke to the LORD the words of this song, on the day when the LORD had delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul. 2 And he said: “The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; 3 the God of my rock, in him I will trust, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold and my refuge; my Savior, you save me from violence. 4 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; so shall I be saved from my enemies. 5 When the waves of death encompassed me, the floods of ungodliness made me afraid; 6 the sorrows of Sheol surrounded me, the snares of death confronted me. 7 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God. He heard my voice from his temple, and my

Pjesma Davidova u kojoj zahvaljuje Bogu

David je sastavio, u vrijeme kad ga je Gospodin izbavio iz ruku svih njegovih neprijatelja i iz ruke Saulove u slavu Gospodinu, ovu pjesmu. 2 On je pjevao: “Gospodin, je moja Hridina, moja utvrda, moj Izbavitelj! 3 Bog je moja Hridina, u njega se uzdajem. Ætit moj, rog mojega spasenja, moja utvrda, moje utoçiæte! Moj Spasitelj, koji me je spasio od nasilja. 4 Zazvat øu Gospodina koji je hvale dostojan; tako øu biti izbavljen od svojih neprijatelja. 5 Kad me okruœe pobjesnjeli valovi smrti, poplave zla drœe u tjeskobi, 6 okovi pakla okruœe me, zamke smrti suprotstavili mi se.

Now these are the last words of David. Thus says David the son of Jesse; thus says the man raised up on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel: 2 “The Spirit of the LORD spoke by me, and his word was on my tongue. 3 The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spoke to me: ‘He who rules over men must be just, 4 ruling in the fear of God. And he shall be like the light of the morning when the sun rises, a morning without clouds, Like the tender grass springing out of the earth, by clear shining after rain.’ 5 Although my house is not so with God, yet he has made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things and secure. For this is all my salvation and all my desire; will he not make it increase? 6 But the sons of rebellion shall all be as thorns thrust away, because they cannot be taken with hands. 7 But the man who touches them must be armed with iron and the shaft of a spear, and they shall be utterly burned with fire in their place.” 8 These are the names of the mighty men whom David had: Josheb-Basshebeth the Tachmonite, chief among the captains. He was called Adino the Eznite, because he had killed eight hundred men at one time. 9 And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, one of the three mighty men with David when they defied the Philistines who were gathered there for battle, and the men of Israel had retreated. 10 He arose and attacked the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand stuck to the sword. The LORD brought about a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to plunder. 11 And after him was Shammah the son of Agee the Hararite. The Philistines had gathered together into a troop where there was a piece of ground full of lentils. Then the people fled from the Philistines.

Davidova posljednja pjesma. Davidovi junaci

Ovo su Davidove posljednje rijeçi. Ovo govori David, sin Jeseja, ovo govori çovjek koji je bio uzviæen visoko; pomazanik Boga Jakovljeva, koji je pjevao Izraelove pjesme: 2 “Duh Gospodinov preko mene govori, i na mojem je jeziku bila njegova rijeç. 3 Bog Izraelov je rekao, hridina Izraelova govorila me: ‘Onaj tko vlada ljudima mora biti pravedan, koji vlada u Boœjem strahu. 4 Taj øe biti kao jutarnje svjetlo, kad sunce ograne, a nikakav oblak ne muti ranu svjetlost. U sjaju sunçanu, iza kiæe, mlada trava niçe iz zemlje. 5 Tako stoji, zaista, moja kuøa prema Bogu: vjeçni zavjet napravio je on sa mnom, ureåen u svemu i dobro çuvan. Svaku moju œelju i svaku moju çeœnju on puæta, da zaista uspije. 6 Kao iæçupano trnje svi su zlikovci: nitko ih se zato ne dotiçe. 7 Tko se namjeri na njih, prihvati za œeljezo i koplje, i praskajuøi planu oni u œeravici.” 8 Ovo su imena Davidovih junaka: Takmonac Joæeb Baæebet, çelovoåa trojici. On zavitla svoje koplje i ubije odjedanput osam stotina. 9 Za njim dolazi izmeåu tri junaka Ahoahej Eleazar, sin Dodov. On je bio s Davidom u PasDamimu, kad su se ondje skupili Filistejci na boj, a Izraelovi sinovi se povukli . 10 On je ostao i tukao Filistejce dokle mu se ruka nije umorila i ruka mu se nije ukoçila na maçu. Tako je dao Gospodin u onaj dan sjajnu pobjedu. Ljudi se vratili i poæli za njim, ali samo zato da pokupe plijen. 11 Za njim dolazi Hararanin Æamah, sin Ageov.

FIRST BOOK OF KINGS

Now King David was old, advanced in years; and they put covers on him, but he could not get warm. 2 Therefore his servants said to him, “Let a young woman, a virgin, be sought for our lord the king, and let her stand before the king, and let her care for him; and let her lie in your bosom, that our lord the king may be warm.” 3 So they sought for a lovely young woman throughout all the territory of Israel, and found Abishag the Shunammite, and brought her to the king. 4 And the young woman was very lovely; and she cared for the king, and served him; but the king did not know her. 5 Now Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, “I will be king”; and he prepared for himself chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him. 6 (And his father had not rebuked him at any time by saying, “Why have you done so?” He was also a very good-looking man. His mother had borne him after Absalom.) 7 Then he conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah and with Abiathar the priest, and they followed and helped Adonijah. 8 But Zadok the priest, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, Nathan the prophet, Shimei, Rei, and the mighty men who belonged to David were not with Adonijah. 9 And Adonijah sacrificed sheep and oxen and fattened cattle by the stone of Zoheleth, which is by En Rogel; he also invited all his brothers, the king’s sons, and all the men of Judah, the king’s servants. 10 But he did not invite Nathan the prophet, Benaiah, the mighty men, or Solomon his brother. 11 So Nathan spoke to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, saying, “Have you not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith has become king, and David our lord does not know it? 12 Come, please, let me now give you counsel, that you may save your own life and the life of your son Solomon. 13 Go immediately to King David and say to him, ‘Did you not, my lord, O king, swear to your maidservant, saying, “Assuredly your son Solomon shall reign af-

David starac. Salomon postaje kralj

Kralj David je bio ostario i postao vremeæan. Premda su ga pokrivali, nije se mogao ugrijati. 2 Stoga su mu svjetovale njegove sluge: “Neka se potraœi za gospodara kralja mlada djevojka, koja bi kralja dvorila i bila mu na ruku kao skrbnica. Kad bude ona na tvojemu krilu, ugrijat øe se veø gospodar kralj.” 3 I potraœili su lijepu djevojku po cijeloj zemlji izraelskoj i naæli su Abiæagu iz Æunama, te je doveli kralju. 4 Djevojka je bila vrlo lijepa, i ona je njegovala kralja i sluœila mu, ali ju kralj nije spoznao. 5 Adonija, sin Hagitin, pomislio je u svojoj preuzetnosti: “Ja sam buduøi kralj!” Zato nabavi sebi bojnih kola i konjanika i pedeset ljudi koji su trçali pred njim. 6 Njegov otac nikad mu se u svojemu œivotu nije usprotivio i nije ga upitao: “Zaæto çiniæ takvo æto?” Uz to je imao vrlo lijepu vanjætinu i bio je od roåenja prvi iza Absaloma. 7 On je stupio u dogovore s Joabom, sinom Serujinim, i sa sveøenikom Abiatarom, i obojica su se prikljuçili i pomogli Adoniji. 8 Ali sveøenik Sadok i Benaja, sin Jehojadov, prorok Natan i Æimej i Rei nisu pristali za Adonijom. 9 I kad je Adonija zaklao ovaca, volova, tovne teladi na kamenu Zoheledu kod izvora Rogela, pozvao svu svoju braøu, kraljeve sinove, i sve ljude iz Judeje, koji su bili u kraljevskoj sluœbi. 10 Ali nije pozvao proroka Natana, ni Benaja, ni Davidovih junaka, ni svojega brata Salomona. 11 Onda je rekao Natan Batæebi, Salomonovoj majci, govoreøi: “Jesi li çula da Adonija, sin Hagitin, postaje kralj a da David, gospodar naæ, ne zna niæta o tomu? 12 A sada daj da ti savjet dadem kako moœeæ sebi i svojem sinu Salomonu spasiti œivot! 13 Hajde, idi odmah kralju Davidu i kaœi mu: ‘Moj gospodaru i kralju, nisi li se ipak zakleo svojoj sluækinji, govoreøi: “Moj sin Salomon øe biti kralj poslije mene i on øe sjediti na mojem

A kralj (Now the king was very old, and Abishag the je bio vrlo star, i Abiæaga Æunamka ga dvorila. 16 Kad se Batæeba poklonila pred kraljem i Shunammite was serving the king.) 16 And Bathsheba bowed and did homage to the bacila niçice, upitao ju kralj: “Æto œeliæ?” 17 Ona mu je odgovorila: “Moj gospodaru, ti si king.

Now Solomon made a treaty with Pharaoh king of Egypt, and married Pharaoh’s daughter; then he brought her to the City of David until he had finished building his own house, and the house of the LORD, and the wall all around Jerusalem. 2 Meanwhile the people sacrificed at the high places, because there was no house built for the name of the LORD until those days. 3 And Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of his father David, except that he sacrificed and burned incense at the high places. 4 Now the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there, for that was the great high place: Solomon offered a thousand burnt offerings on that altar. 5 At Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, “Ask! What shall I give you?” 6 And Solomon said: “You have shown great mercy to your servant David my father, because he walked before you in truth, in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with you; you have continued this great kindness for him, and you have given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day. 7 Now, O LORD my God, you have made your servant king instead of my father David, but I am a little child; I do not know how to go out or come in. 8 And your servant is in the midst of your people whom you have chosen, a great people, too numerous to be numbered or counted. 9 Therefore give to your servant an understanding heart to judge your people, that I may discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of yours?” 10 And the speech pleased the LORD, that Solomon had asked this thing. 11 Then God said to him: “Because you have asked this thing, and have not asked long life for yourself, nor have asked riches for yourself, nor have asked the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern justice, 12 behold, I have done according to your words; see, I have given you a wise and understanding heart, so that there has not been anyone like you before you, nor shall any like you arise after you. 13 And I have also given you what you have not asked: both riches and honor, so that there shall not be anyone like you among the kings all your days. 14 So if you walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as your father David

Salomonova mudra presuda

Salomon se sprijateljio s faraonom, egipatskim kraljem, i oœenio se njegovom køerju. Doveo je u Davidov grad, dok nije dovræio svoj dvor i Gospodinov dom i zid oko Jeruzalema. 2 Narod je onda joæ prinosio œrtve na uzvisinama, jer dotada joæ nije bio sazidan dom Imenu Gospodinovu. 3 Salomon je, doduæe, ljubio Gospodina, drœeøi propise i zakone svojega oca Davida, ali bi i on joæ œrtvovao i kadio na uzvisinama. 4 Tako je otiæao kralj u Gibeon da ondje œrtvuje jer to je bila najuglednija uzvisina. Tisuøu œrtava paljenica prineo je Salomon ondje na œrtveniku. 5 Onda je Gospodin govorio Salomonu u Gibeonu noøu u snu i rekao Bog: “Zatraœi æto da ti dadem!” 6 Salomon je odgovorio: “Ti si svojemu sluzi Davidu, mojem ocu, iskazivao veliku naklonost, jer je on hodio pred tobom u vjernosti i pravednosti i iskrenim srcem, i ti si mu saçuvao tu veliku naklonost i darovao si mu sina koji sada sjedi na njegovu prijestolju. 7 Sada, Gospodine, Boœe moj, ti si uçinio svojega slugu kraljem na mjesto mojega oca Davida. A ja sam mlad çovjek koji ne zna ni odlaziti ni dolaziti. 8 Tvoj sluga stoji usred tvojega naroda koji si izabrao i koji je tako mnogobrojan da se od mnoœine ne moœe izbrojiti ni procijeniti. 9 Daj svojem sluzi srce razumno da moœe vladati tvojim narodom i da zna razlikovati izmeåu dobra i zla, jer tko bi mogao vladati ovim tvojim mnogobrojnim narodom?” 10 Puno se svidjelo Bogu to æto je zamolio Salomon. 11 Bog mu odgovorio: “Jer si to zamolio i nisi molio za sebe duga œivota, niti blaga, niti smrti svojih neprijatelja, nego si sebi zaprosio mudrost u pravom djelovanju, 12 eto, udovoljio sam tvojoj molbi; gle, dat øu ti mudro i razumno srce tako da tebi jednaka nije bilo prije tebe, niti øe biti tebi jednaka poslije tebe. 13 Ali dat øu ti i to æto nisi prosio, i bogatstvo i slavu, tako da tebi jednaka ne bude meåu kraljevima dok si œiv. 14 Ako budeæ iæao mojim putovima drœeøi moje

Now Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon, because he heard that they had anointed him king in place of his father, for Hiram had always loved David. 2 Then Solomon sent to Hiram, saying: 3 “You know how my father David could not build a house for the name of the LORD his God because of the wars which were fought against him on every side, until the LORD put his foes under the soles of his feet. 4 But now the LORD my God has given me rest on every side, so that there is neither adversary nor evil occurrence. 5 And behold, I propose to build a house for the name of the LORD my God, as the LORD spoke to my father David, saying, ‘Your son, whom I will set on your throne in your place, he shall build the house for My name.’ 6 Now therefore, command that they cut down cedars for me from Lebanon; and my servants will be with your servants, and I will pay you wages for your servants according to whatever you say. For you know there is none among us who has skill to cut timber like the Sidonians.” 7 So it was, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly and said, “Blessed be the LORD this day, for he has given David a wise son over this great people!” 8 Then Hiram sent to Solomon, saying: “I have considered the message which you sent me, and I will do all you desire concerning the cedar and cypress logs. 9 My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon to the sea; I will float them in rafts by sea to the place you indicate to me, and will have them broken apart there; then you can take them away. And you shall fulfill my desire by giving food for my household.” 10 So Hiram gave Solomon cedar and cypress logs according to all his desire. 11 And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand kors of wheat as food for his household, and twenty kors of pressed oil. Thus Solomon gave to Hiram year by year. 12 So the LORD gave Solomon wisdom, as he had promised him; and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and the two of them made a treaty together. 13 Then King Solomon raised up a labor force out of all Israel; and the labor force was thirty thousand men. 14 And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month in shifts: they were one month in Lebanon and two months at home; Adoniram was in charge of the labor force. 15 Solomon had seventy thousand who carried burdens, and eighty thousand who quarried stone in the mountains, 16 besides three thousand three hundred from the chiefs of Solomon’s deputies, who supervised the people who labored in the work. 17 And the king commanded them to quarry large stones, costly stones, and hewn stones, to lay the foundation of the temple. 18 So Solomon’s builders, Hiram’s builders, and the Gebalites quarried them; and they prepared timber and stones to build the temple.

1 Kraljevi Priprema za zidanje doma

Hiram, kralj Tira, poslao svoje sluge k Salomonu kad je bio çuo, da su ga kao nasljednika njegova oca pomazali za kralja. Hiram je, naime, bio uvijek s Davidom u najboljem odnosu. 2 Nato je Salomon poruçio Hiramu: 3 “Ti znaæ da moj otac David nije stigao sagraditi dom Imenu Gospodina, svojega Boga, zbog ratova koji su ga zaokupili od svuda dok mu Gospodin nije poloœio neprijatelje pod njegove noge. 4 Ali sad mi je dao Gospodin, moj Bog, mir od svuda, i nemam viæe protivnika ni opasnosti. 5 Zato namjeravam sagraditi dom Imenu Gospodina, svojega Boga. Tako je Gospodin mojem ocu Davidu obeøao i rekao: ‘Tvoj sin, koga øu posaditi mjesto tebe na tvoje prijestolje, øe sagraditi dom mojem Imenu.’ 6 Zato zapovjedi neka mi nasijeku cedara na Lebanonu! Moji øe ljudi zajedno raditi s tvojim ljudima. Plaøu za tvoje ljude dat øu ti kako odrediæ, jer ti znaæ da u nas nema nikoga koji umije sjeçi drva kao Sidonci.” 7 Kad je Hiram primio vijest Salomonovu, jako se obradovao i povikao: “Neka je blagoslovljen danas Gospodin, koji je dao Davidu mudra sina kao vladara nad ovim velikim narodom!” 8 Onda poslao Hiram Salomonu ovaj odgovor: “Uzeo sam do znanja æto si mi poruçio. Ispunit øu sve tvoje œelje glede stabla cedrova i çempresova. 9 Moji øe ih ljudi snijeti s Lebanona k moru. Onda øu ih dati na moru povezati u splavi i dovesti ih na mjesto za koje mi odrediæ, i ondje ih razvezati, i onda ih daj odnijeti! Tako øeæ ispuniti moju molbu i dati hranu mojem domaøinstvu.” 10 Tako je davao Hiram Salomonu cedrova i çempresova drva koliko je œelio. 11 Salomon je za to davao Hiramu dvadeset tisuøa kora pæenice za hranu njegovim ljudima i dvadeset kora ulja od stuçenih maslina. Toliko je davao Salomon Hiramu svake godine. 12 Jer Gospodin je dao mudrost Salomonu, kako mu je bio obeøao, zato je doælo do prijateljstva izmeåu Hirama i Salomona tako da su meåu sobom zakljuçili savez. 13 Nato je odredio kralj Salomon poslenike iz svega Izraela. Broj ovih poslenika iznosio je trideset tisuøa ljudi. 14 Slao ih je naizmjence u Lebanon, svaki mjesec po deset tisuøa ljudi. Jedan mjesec bili su na Lebanonu, a dva mjeseca kod kuøe. Adoniram je bio nad svim radnicima. 15 Salomon je u gorama imao sedamdeset tisuøa nositelja tereta i osamdeset tisuøa kamenorezaca. 16 Pokraj toga Salomonovih nadstojnika, koji su vodili rad, tri tisuøe i tri stotine, koji su nadzirali ljude zaposlene tim poslom. 17 Kralj je zapovjedio da se izlomi veliko, teæko birano kamenje, da ga kleæu i da se postavi za temelj domu. 18 Tesali su Salomonovi i Hiramovi kamenari i Gibljani i pripravljali drvo i kamenje za gradnju doma.

But Solomon took thirteen years to build his own house; so he finished all his house. 2 He also built the House of the Forest of Lebanon; its length was one hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits, with four rows of cedar pillars, and cedar beams on the pillars. 3 And it was paneled with cedar above the beams that were on forty-five pillars, fifteen to a row. 4 There were windows with beveled frames in three rows, and window was opposite window in three tiers. 5 And all the doorways and doorposts had rectangular frames; and window was opposite window in three tiers. 6 He also made the Hall of Pillars: its length was fifty cubits, and its width thirty cubits; and in front of them was a portico with pillars, and a canopy was in front of them. 7 Then he made a hall for the throne, the Hall of Judgment, where he might judge; and it was paneled with cedar from floor to ceiling. 8 And the house where he dwelt had another court inside the hall, of like workmanship. Solomon also made a house like this hall for Pharaoh’s daughter, whom he had taken as wife. 9 All these were of costly stones hewn to size,

Salomon je svoju vlastitu kuøu gradio trinaest godina; i tako ju dovræio. 2 Kuøu Lebanonska Æuma gradio je stotinu lakata dugu, pedeset lakata æiroku i trideset lakata visoku, na çetiri reda cedrovih stupova, i na stupovima su leœale cedrove grede. 3 Od cedrova drva bio je i pokrov na gredama æto su bile na çetrdeset i pet stupova, po petnaest u jednom redu. 4 Grede su imale tri reda, i po tri prozora stajala su jedan prema drugomu. 5 Sva vrata s dovratnicima bila su çetverokutna, i po tri prozora stajala su jedan prema drugomu. 6 Onda je podigao trijem od stupova pedeset lakata dug i trideset lakata æirok. Jedan trijem sa stupovima i krovom bio je sprijeda. 7 Nadalje je sagradio trijem za prijestolje, gdje je sudio, sudski trijem bio je obloœen cedrovim drvom od poda do stropa. 8 Napokon njegov dvor, u kojem je stanovao, u drugom dvoriætu unutar trijema, bila je na isti naçin graåen. I za faraonovu køer, kojom se bio Salomon oœenio, sagradio je kuøu jednaku onomu trijemu. 9 Sve ove graåevine bile su sagraåene od

Now Solomon assembled the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, the chief fathers of the sons of Israel, to King Solomon in Jerusalem, that they might bring up the Ark of the covenant of the LORD from the City of David, which is Zion. 2 And all the men of Israel assembled to King Solomon at the feast in the month of Ethanim, which is the seventh month. 3 Then all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the Ark. 4 And they brought up the Ark of the LORD, the tabernacle of meeting, and all the holy furnishings that were in the tabernacle. The priests and the Levites brought them up. 5 Also King Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel who were assembled to him, were with him before the Ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen that could not be counted or numbered for multitude. 6 Then the priests brought in the Ark of the covenant of the LORD to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the temple, to the Most Holy Place, under the wings of the cherubim. 7 For the cherubim spread their two wings over the place of the Ark, and the cherubim overshadowed the Ark and its poles. 8 And the poles extended so that the ends of the poles could be seen from the holy place, in front of the inner sanctuary; but they could not be seen from outside. So they are there to this day. 9 There was nothing in the Ark except the two tablets of stone which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the sons of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt. 10 And it happened, when the priests came out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the LORD, 11 so that the priests could not continue ministering because of the cloud; for the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD. 12 Then Solomon spoke: “The LORD said he would dwell in the dark cloud. 13 I have surely built you an exalted house, and a place for you to dwell in forever.” 14 And the king turned around and blessed the whole congregation of Israel, while all the congregation of Israel was standing. 15 Then he said: “Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to my father David, and with his hand has fulfilled it, saying, 16 Since the day that I brought my people Israel out of Egypt, I have chosen no city from any tribe of Israel in which to build a house, that My name might be there; but I chose David to be over my people Israel.’ 17 Now it was in the heart of my father David to build a house for the name of the LORD God of Israel. 18 But the LORD said to my father David, ‘Whereas it was in your heart to build a house for My name, you did well that it was in your heart. 19 Nevertheless you shall not build the house, but your son, who shall come from your loins, he shall build the house for My name.’ 20 So the LORD has fulfilled his word which he spoke; and I have filled the position of my father David, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised; and I have built a house for the name of the LORD God of Israel. 21 And there I have made a place for the Ark, in which is the covenant of the LORD which he made with our fathers, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.”

1 Kraljevi Posveta doma

Onda je Salomon skupio Izraelove starjeæine i sve poglavare plemenske, poglavare rodova Izraelovih sinova, kod kralja Salomona u Jeruzalemu da se prenese ækrinja Gospodinova zavjeta iz Davidova grada, a to je Sion. 2 I tako su se skupili pred kraljem Salomonom svi Izraelovi ljudi na svetkovinu u mjesecu Etanimu, a to je sedmi mjesec. 3 Kad su doæle sve Izraelove starjeæine, podigli su sveøenici ækrinju. 4 I prenijeli su Gospodinovu ækrinju, æator Svjedoçanstva i sve sveto posuåe koje je bilo u æatoru. 5 Pritom je kralj Salomon œrtvovao i s njim sva Izraelova zajednica koja se naæla kod njega pred ækrinjom, toliko ovaca i goveda da ih se zbog njihova mnoætva nije moglo izbrojiti niti proraçunati. 6 Onda su sveøenici unijeli ækrinju Gospodinova zavjeta na njegovo mjesto u unutraænjem svetiætu doma, u Najsvetijem Mjestu pod krila kerubina. 7 Kerubini su drœali raæirena krila nad mjestom gdje je stajala ækrinja. Tako su kerubini pokrili ækrinju i njegove motke. 8 Motke su bile tako duge da su se krajevi motaka vidjeli sa svetoga mjesta pred unutraænjim svetiætem, ali se dalje nisu vidjeli. One su tamo do danaænjega dana. 9 U ækrinji su bile samo dvije kamene ploçe, koje je bio u nju stavio Mojsije na Horebu, kad je Gospodin napravio savez sa Izraelovim sinovima, poæto su izaæli iz egipatske zemlje. 10 A kad bi sveøenici trebali napustili sveto mjesto, oblak bi napunio Gospodinov dom. 11 Sveøenici nisu mogli zbog oblaka pristupiti da vræe svoju sluœbu, jer be slava Gospodinova napunila Gospodinov dom. 12 Onda je rekao Salomon: “Gospodin je rekao da øe boraviti u tamnom oblaku. 13 I ja sam ti sagradio uzviæeni dom, mjesto da u njemu prebivaæ dovijeka.” 14 Onda se okrenuo kralj i blagoslovio svu Izraelovu zajednicu, a sva je zajednica Izraelovih sinova stajala. 15 Onda je on rekao: “Blagoslovljen neka je Gospodin, Bog Izraelov, koji je, eto, zaista ispunio obeøanje koje je svojim ustima dao mojem ocu Davidu, kad je rekao: 16 ‘Od vremena kad sam bio izveo iz Egipta svoj narod Izraela, nisam izabrao nijednoga grada izmeåu svih Izraelovih plemena da se ondje sagradi dom da u njemu moœe boraviti Ime moje, ali zato sam izabrao Davida da vlada nad mojim narodom Izraelom.’ 17 I naumio je moj otac David sagraditi dom Imenu Gospodina, Boga Izraelova. 18 Ali je Gospodin rekao mojem ocu Davidu: ‘Da kaniæ sagraditi dom mojem Imenu, dobro çiniæ æto si to naumio. 19 Ali neøeæ ti sagraditi toga doma nego tvoj sin, koji øe ti se roditi, on øe sagraditi dom mojem Imenu.’ 20 I, eto, Gospodin je ispunio obeøanje koje je dao: ja sam stupio na mjesto svojega oca Davida i sjeo sam na Izraelovo prijestolje, kako je Gospodin obeøao, i sagradio sam dom Imenu Gospodina, Boga Izraelova. 21 Ja sam u njemu pripravio mjesto za ækrinju, u kojoj je Gospodinov zavjet koji je napravio s

And it happened, when Solomon had finished building the house of the LORD and the king’s house, and all Solomon’s desire which he wanted to do, 2 that the LORD appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared to him at Gibeon. 3 And the LORD said to him: “I have heard your prayer and your supplication that you have made before me; I have sanctified this house which you have built to put My name there forever, and my eyes and my heart will be there perpetually. 4 Now if you walk before me as your father David walked, in integrity of heart and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded you, and if you keep my statutes and my judgments, 5 then I will establish the throne of your kingdom over Israel forever, as I promised David your father, saying, ‘You shall not fail to have a man on the throne of Israel.’ 6 But if you or your sons at all turn from following me, and do not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods and worship them, 7 then I will cut off Israel from the land which I have given them; and this temple which I have sanctified for My name I will cast out of my sight. Israel will be a proverb and a byword among all peoples. 8 And this pemle will be exalted; yet everyone who passes by it will be astonished and will hiss, and say, ‘Why has the LORD done thus to this land and to this house?’ 9 Then they will answer, ‘Because they forsook the LORD their God, who brought their fathers out of the

Salomonovi darovi Hiramu. Œrtve i laåe

I dogodilo se u vrijeme kad je bio Salomon dovræio gradnju Gospodinova doma i kraljevskog dvora i sve druge naume, koje je Salomon œelio izvesti, 2 javio se Gospodin Salomonu po drugi put, kao æto mu se bio javio u Gibeonu. 3 I rekao mu Gospodin: “Usliæao sam tvoju molitvu i tvoj vapaj æto si mi ga upravio. Posvetio sam taj dom æto si mi ga sagradio. Zato øe Ime moje ondje uvijek stanovati, i moje oçi i moje srce ondje øe uvijek boraviti. 4 Ako budeæ hodio preda mnom onako kako je iæao tvoj otac David, u iskrenosti srca i u pravednosti, tako da çiniæ sve æto sam ti zapovjedio, i drœiæ moj zakon i pravne propise, 5 onda øu zauvijek utvrditi prijestolje tvojega kraljevstva nad Izraelom, kako sam obeøao tvojem ocu Davidu, kad sam rekao: ‘Nikada ti neøe nestati çovjeka na Izraelovu prijestolju.’ 6 Ali ako se vi, vi i vaæi sinovi, odvratite od mene i ne uzdrœite mojih zapovijedi i uredaba, na koje sam vas obvezao, nego odete i sluœite drugim bogovima i klanjate im se, 7 onda øu odstraniti Izraela iz zemlje koju sam im dao, i dom æto sam ga posvetio svojem Imenu, odbacit øu od svojega lica, i Izrael øe postati prispodoba i ruglo svim narodima. 8 I ovaj øe dom postati jedna ruæevina. I kad upitaju: ‘Zaæto je takvo æto Gospodin uçinio ovoj zemlji i ovomu domu?’ 9 Odgovorit øe se: ‘Oni su ostavili Gospodina, svojega Boga, koji je njihove oçeve izveo iz Egipta, i okrenuli se k drugim bogovima, njima

Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer. 16 (Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up and taken 16 Faraon, egipatski kralj, bio je iziæao, osvojio Gezer and burned it with fire, had killed the Gezer i spalio ga ognjem, Kanaance, koji su Canaanites who dwelt in the city, and had given it as stanovali u gradu, pobio i dao ga kao miraz svojoj køeri, œeni Salomonovoj. a dowry to his daughter, Solomon’s wife.) 17 I Salomon je opet sagradio opet Gezer i 17 And Solomon built Gezer, Lower Beth Horon, 18 Baalath, and Tadmor in the wilderness, in the land donji Bet-Horon, 18 Baalat, Tadmor u pustinji–u zemlji, of Judah, 19 all the storage cities that Solomon had, cities for 19 sve gradove za spremiæta, koja je imao his chariots and cities for his cavalry, and whatever Salomon, i gradove za bojna kola i gradove za Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, jahaliæte i sve graåevine, koje je Salomon htio podignuti u Jeruzalemu, na Lebanonu i u svem and in all the land of his dominion. 20 All the people who were left of the Amorites, podruçju svoje vlasti.

But King Solomon loved many foreign women, as well as the daughter of Pharaoh: women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites– 2 from the nations of whom the LORD had said to the sons of Israel, “You shall not intermarry with them, nor they with you. For surely they will turn away your hearts after their gods.” Solomon clung to these in love. 3 And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines; and his wives turned away his heart. 4 For it was so, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned his heart after other gods; and his heart was not loyal to the LORD his God, as was the heart of his father David. 5 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites. 6 Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and did not fully follow the LORD, as did his father David. 7 Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, on the hill that is east of Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the sons of Ammon. 8 And he did likewise for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and sacrificed to their gods. 9 So the LORD became angry with Solomon, because his heart had turned from the LORD God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice, 10 and had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods; but he did not keep what the LORD had commanded. 11 Therefore the LORD said to Solomon, “Because you have done this, and have not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded you, I will surely tear the kingdom away from you and give it to your servant. 12 Nevertheless I will not do it in your days, for the sake of your father David; but I will tear it out of the hand of your son. 13 However I will not tear away the whole kingdom, but I will give one tribe to your son for the sake of my servant David, and for the sake of Jerusalem which I have chosen.” 14 Now the LORD raised up an adversary against

Salomonove œene, idolopoklonstvo i smrt

Kralj Salomon je ljubio, uz faraonovu køer, mnoge œene strankinje: Moabke, Amonke, Edomke, Sidonke i Hitejke, 2 od naroda, za koje je bio Gospodin zapovjedio Izraelovim sinovima: “Ne upuætajte se s njima i oni ne smiju opøiti s vama. Inaçe oni øe posve sigurno zanijeti vaæa srca za svojim bogovima.” Za njih je prionuo Salomon ljubeøi ih. 3 A imao je sedam stotina œena kraljica i tri stotine suloœnica. I njegove œene su ga zavele. 4 Kad je Salomon bio ostario, njegove œene zanijele su mu srce za drugim bogovima. Njegovo srce nije viæe potpuno pripadalo Gospodinu, njegovu Bogu, kao srce njegova oca Davida. 5 I Salomon je ætovao aætartu, boœicu Sidonaca, i Milkomu, grozotu Amonaca. 6 Salomon je çinio zlo pred Gospodinom, i nije hodio za Gospodinom do kraja kao njegov otac David. 7 Onda je Salomon sagradio œrtvenu uzvisinu za Kemoæa, odurnost Moabaca, na gori, istoçno od Jeruzalema, i isto tako za Moleka, grozotu Amonaca. 8 Isto je uçinio za sve svoje œene strankinje, koje su prinosile svojim bogovima k∑d i œrtve zaklanice. 9 I Gospodin se razgnjevio na Salomona, jer je on odvratio svoje srce od Gospodina, Boga Izraelova, koji mu se bio javio dva puta 10 i bio mu je zapovjedio da ne ætuje drugih bogova, ali on nije drœao æto mu je bio Gospodin zapovjedio. 11 Zato je dao Gospodin reøi Salomonu: “Jer si to uçinio, i nisi drœao moj savez i uredbe, koje sam ti zapovjedio, zato øu otrgnuti od tebe kraljevstvo i dati ga tvojemu sluzi. 12 Ali neøu to joæ uçiniti za tvojega œivota zbog tvojega oca Davida; ja øu ga otrgnuti iz ruku tvojega sina. 13 Ipak neøu od njega otrgnuti svega kraljevstva. Jedno øu pleme dati tvojem sinu zbog Davida, mojega sluge, i zbog Jeruzalema æto sam ga izabrao.” 14 I dao je Gospodin podiøi Salomonu pro-

Now Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had gone to Shechem to make him

king. 2 So it was, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard it (he was still in Egypt, for he had fled from the presence of King Solomon and had been dwelling in Egypt), 3 that they sent and called him. Then Jeroboam and the whole congregation of Israel came and spoke to Rehoboam, saying, 4 Your father made our yoke heavy; now therefore, lighten the burdensome service of your father, and his heavy yoke which he put on us, and we will serve you.” 5 So he said to them, “Depart for three days, then come back to me.” And the people departed. 6 Then King Rehoboam consulted the elders who stood before his father Solomon while he still lived, and he said, “How do you advise me to answer these people?” 7 And they spoke to him, saying, “If you will be a servant to these people today, and serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they will be your servants forever.” 8 But he rejected the counsel which the elders gave him, and consulted the young men who had grown up with him, who stood before him. 9 And he said to them, “What counsel do you give? How should we answer this people who have spoken to me, saying, ‘Lighten the yoke which your father put on us’?” 10 Then the young men who had grown up with him spoke to him, saying, “Thus you should speak to this people who have spoken to you, saying, ‘Your father made our yoke heavy, but you make it lighter on us’– thus you shall say to them: ‘My little finger shall be thicker than my father’s waist! 11 And now, whereas my father laid a heavy yoke on

Dioba kraljevstva

Roboam je otiæao u Æekem, jer se u Æekemu bio skupio sav Izrael da ga postavi kraljem. 2 O tom je Jeroboam, sin Nebatov, primio vijest. On je, naime, joæ bio u Egiptu, kamo je bio morao pobjeøi od kralja Salomona; Jeroboam se bio nastanio u Egiptu. 3 I poslali su ondje i dali su ga pozvati. Tako su doæli Jeroboam i sva Izraelova zajednica i javili su Roboamu, govoreøi: 4 “Tvoj je otac stavio na nas teœak jaram. Olakæaj nam sada ti tvrdu sluœbu svojega oca i teæki jaram koji nam je stavio, i mi øemo ti biti podloœni!” 5 On im odgovorio “Idite i za tri dana doåite opet k meni!” I narod se udaljio. 6 I kralj Roboam posvjetovao se sa starim ljudima koji su sluœili njegovu ocu Salomonu dok je bio œiv, i upitao: “Æto mi svjetujete da odgovorim tim ljudima?” 7 Oni mu odgovorili: “Ako danas udovoljiæ narodu, njima se prilagodiæ, posluæaæ ih i prijateljski im odgovoriæ, oni øe ti biti dovijeka podloœni.” 8 Ali se on nije osvrnuo na savjet æto su mu ga dali starci, nego se posvjetovao s mladim ljudima koji su bili odrasli s njim i koji su ga morali slijediti, 9 On ih je upitao: “Æto mi svjetujete da odgovorim tim ljudima, koji zahtijevaju od mene: ‘Olakæaj jaram koji je stavio na nas tvoj otac?’ ” 10 Mladi ljudi koji su bili odrasli s njim odgovorili mu ovo: “Ovako øeæ odgovoriti tim ljudima, koji su ti rekli: ‘Tvoj je otac stavio na nas teœak jaram, olakæaj ti naæ jaram!’ ovako øeæ im odgovoriti: ‘Moj je mali prst deblji od bedara mojega oca! 11 Eto, otac vam je moj stavio teœak jaram.

And behold, a man of God went from Judah to Bethel by the word of the LORD, and Jeroboam stood by the altar to burn incense. 2 Then he cried out against the altar by the word of the LORD, and said, “O altar, altar! Thus says the LORD: ‘Behold, a child, Josiah by name, shall be born to the house of David; and on you he shall sacrifice the priests of the high places who burn incense on you, and men’s bones shall be burned on you.’ ” 3 And he gave a sign the same day, saying, “This is the sign which the LORD has spoken: Surely the altar shall split apart, and the ashes on it shall be poured out.” 4 So it happened when King Jeroboam heard the saying of the man of God, who cried out against the altar in Bethel, that he stretched out his hand from the altar, saying, “Arrest him!” Then his hand, which he stretched out toward him, withered, so that he could not pull it back to himself. 5 The altar also was split apart, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given by the word of the LORD. 6 Then the king answered and said to the man of God, “Please entreat the favor of the LORD your God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored to me.” So the man of God entreated the LORD, and the king’s hand was restored to him, and became as it was before. 7 Then the king said to the man of God, “Come home with me and refresh yourself, and I will give you a reward.” 8 But the man of God said to the king, “If you were to give me half your house, I would not go in with you; nor would I eat bread nor drink water in this place. 9 For so it was commanded me by the word of the LORD, saying, ‘You shall not eat bread, nor drink water, nor return by the same way you came.’ ” 10 So he went another way and did not return by the way he came to Bethel. 11 Now an old prophet dwelt in Bethel, and his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel; they also told their father the words which he had spoken to the king. 12 And their father said to them, “Which way did he go?” For his sons had seen which way the man of God went who came from Judah. 13 Then he said to his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me.” So they saddled the donkey for him; and he rode on it, 14 and went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak. Then he said to him, “Are you the man of God who came from Judah?” And he said, “I am.” 15 Then he said to him, “Come home with me and eat bread.” 16 And he said, “I cannot return with you nor go in

Tvrdokornost Jeroboamova i kazna

A gle, javio se u Betelu, po zapovijedi Gospodinovoj, Boœji çovjek iz Judine zemlje, a Jeroboam je upravo stajao na œrtveniku, da œrtvuje. 2 Onda se onaj, po zapovijedi Gospodinovoj, okrenuo prema œrtveniku i viknuo: “Œrtveniçe, œrtveniçe, ovako govori Gospodin: ‘Sin øe se jedanput roditi kuøi Davidovoj. Josija je njegovo ime. On øe na tebi klati sveøenike uzvisina, koji œrtvuju na tebi. Ljudske øe se kosti spaliti na tebi.’ ” 3 U isto doba navijestio on znak i rekao: “Znak da je Gospodin govorio je ovo: evo, œrtvenik øe se raspasti i prosut øe se pepeo æto je na njemu! ” 4 Tako se dogodilo da kad je kralj çuo prijetnju koju je Boœji çovjek izrekao protiv œrtvenika u Betelu, pruœio je Jeroboam svoju ruku sa œrtvenika i zapovjedio: “Drœite ga!” Ali njegova se ruka, koju je bio pruœio protiv njega, tako ukoçila da ju nije mogao opet povuøi natrag. 5 A œrtvenik se raspao i prosuo se pepeo sa œrtvenika. To je bio znak koji je navijestio Boœji çovjek po zapovijedi Gospodinovoj. 6 Kralj je rekao Boœjemu çovjeku, govoreøi: “Zazovi ipak, Gospodina, svojega Boga, na blagost i pomoli se za mene da mogu opet natrag povuøi svoju ruku!” Onda je ublaœio Boœji çovjek Gospodina i kralj je opet mogao povuøi ruku natrag, i bila je kao prije. 7 Nato je rekao kralj Boœjemu çovjeku “Doåi sa mnom kuøi i okrijepi se, i dat øu ti dar.” 8 Ali je Boœji çovjek odgovorio kralju: “Kad bi mi dao i polovicu svojega kraljevstva, ne bih iæao s tobom, ne bih jeo ni pio na ovom mjestu. 9 Jer tako mi je zapovjedila rijeç Gospodinova: “Ne smijeæ ni jesti ni piti, ni vratiti se putom kojim si doæao.” 10 Tako je on krenuo drugim putom i nije se vratio putom kojim je bio doæao u Betel. 11 Nato je stanovao u Betelu jedan stari prorok. Njegovi sinovi doæli su i pripovjedili mu sve æto je uçinio Boœji çovjek onaj dan u Betelu. Oni su bili ispripovjedili svojem ocu i rijeçi koje je on bio izrekao kralju. 12 Upitao ih njihov otac: “Kojim je putom otiæao?” Njegovi sinovi su mu pokazali put kojim je bio krenuo Boœji çovjek, koji je bio doæao iz Judine zemlje. 13 Nato je on zapovjedio svojim sinovima: “Osedlajte mi magarca!” Kad su oni osedlali magarca, uzjahao ga on 14 i pojahao za Boœjim çovjekom. Naæao ga gdje sjedi pod terebintom i upitao ga: “Jesi li ti Boœji çovjek koji je doæao iz Judine zemlje?” On

Now in the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam the son of Nebat, Abijam became king over Judah. 2 He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maachah the granddaughter of Abishalom. 3 And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him; his heart was not loyal to the LORD his God, as was the heart of his father David. 4 Nevertheless for David’s sake the LORD his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, by setting up his son after him and by establishing Jerusalem; 5 because David did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, and had not turned aside from anything that he commanded him all the days of his life, except in the matter of Uriah the Hittite. 6 And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life. 7 Now the rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam. 8 So Abijam rested with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David. Then Asa his son reigned in his place. 9 In the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel,

Kraljevanje Ase i Joæafata nad Judom

U osamnaestoj godini kraljevanja Jeroboama, sina Nebatova, postao je Abiam kralj nad Judom. 2 On je vladao tri godine u Jeruzalemu. Njegova se majka zvala Maaka i bila je unuka Abiæalomova. 3 On je çinio sve grijehe svojega oca koje je ovaj bio çinio pred njim, i njegovo srce nije bilo cijelo odano Gospodinu, njegovu Bogu, kao srce njegova djeda Davida. 4 Ipak mu je Gospodin, njegov Bog, zbog Davida dao svjetiljku u Jeruzalemu, kad je nakon njega podigao njegova sina u Jeruzalemu i utvrdio Jeruzalem, 5 Jer je David bio çinio æto je bilo pravo u oçima Gospodina, i za svega svojega œivota nije bio odstupio od onoga æto mu je zapovjedio, osim onoga æto je uçinio Hitejcu Uriju. 6 Izmeåu Roboama i Jeroboama bio je rat dok je god onaj œivio. 7 Ostala djela Abiamova i sve æto je uçinio; nije li to zapisano u knjizi ljetopisa Judinih kraljeva? I izmeåu Abiama i Jeroboama bio je rat. 8 Kad je Abiam bio poçinuo kod svojih otaca, pokopali su ga u Davidovu gradu. Namjesto

Then the word of the LORD came to Jehu the son of Hanani, against Baasha, saying: 2 Inasmuch as I lifted you out of the dust and made you ruler over my people Israel, and you have walked in the way of Jeroboam, and have made my people Israel sin, to provoke me to anger with their sins, 3 surely I will take away the posterity of Baasha and the posterity of his house, and I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat. 4 The dogs shall eat whoever belongs to Baasha and dies in the city, and the birds of the air shall eat whoever dies in the fields.” 5 Now the rest of the acts of Baasha, what he did, and his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? 6 So Baasha rested with his fathers and was buried in Tirzah. Then Elah his son reigned in his place. 7 And also the word of the LORD came by the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha and his house, because of all the evil that he did in the sight of the LORD in provoking him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam, and because he killed them. 8 In the twenty-sixth year of Asa king of Judah, Elah the son of Baasha became king over Israel, and reigned two years in Tirzah. 9 Now his servant Zimri, commander of half his chariots, conspired against him as he was in Tirzah drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, steward of his house in Tirzah; 10 and Zimri went in and struck him and killed him in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his place. 11 Then it happened, when he began to reign, as soon as he was seated on his throne, that he killed all the household of Baasha; he did not leave him one male, neither of his kinsmen nor of his friends. 12 Thus Zimri destroyed all the household of Baasha, according to the word of the LORD, which he spoke against Baasha by Jehu the prophet, 13 for all the sins of Baasha and the sins of Elah his son, by which they had sinned and by which they had made Israel sin, in provoking the LORD God of Israel to anger with their idols. 14 Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? 15 In the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, Zimri had reigned in Tirzah seven days. And the people were encamped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines. 16 Now the people who were encamped heard it said, “Zimri has conspired and also has killed the

Onda je doæla rijeç Gospodinova Jehuu, sinu Hananijevu, protiv Baaæa, govoreøi: 2 “Iz praha sam te podigao i postavio vladarom nad mojim narodom Izraelom. A ti si iæao putom Jeroboamovim i naveo si moj narod Izraela na grijeh, tako da su me svojim grijesima draœili na gnjev. 3 Zato øu zatrti Baaæa i njegovu kuøu i s tvojom kuøom postupati kao s kuøom Jeroboama, sina Nebatova, 4 Tko od obitelji Baaæine umre u gradu, toga øe psi proœderati, i tko od njegove obitelji umre u polju, toga øe izjesti nebeske ptice!” 5 Ostala djela Baaæina pobjede i sve æto je uçinio; nije li to zapisano u knjizi ljetopisa Izraelovih kraljeva? 6 Kad je Baaæa bio poçinuo kod svojih otaca, pokopali su ga u Tirsi. Namjesto njega kraljevao je njegov sin Ela. 7 A protiv Baaæa i njegove kuøe doæla je rijeç Gospodinova preko proroka Jehua, sina Hananijeva, iziæla samo zbog svega zla kojim je sagrijeæio protiv Gospodina i draœio ga na gnjev svim svojim djelima, tako da je imao dijeliti sudbinu kuøe Jeroboamove, nego i zbog toga æto je on nju iskorijenio. 8 U dvadeset æestoj godini kraljevanja Asina nad Judom postao je Ela, sin Baaæin, Izraelov kralj. On je vladao u Tirsi dvije godine. 9 Protiv njega podigao je bunu Zimri, jedan od njegovih çasnika, zapovjednik jedne polovice bojnih kola. Dok je on pio u Tirsi u kuøi Arse, koji je upravljao dvorom u Tirsi, 10 provalio je Zimri, ubio ga u dvadeset sedmoj godini kraljevanja Asina nad Judom i postao je umjesto njega kralj. 11 I dogodilo se, çim je on postao kralj i zasjeo na prijestolje, pobio je svu kuøu Baaæinu. Nije ostavio ni jednoga koji je bio muækoga roda, ni roåake ni prijatelje. 12 Tako je Zimri zatro svu kuøu Baaæinu, kako je to bio Gospodin unaprijed rekao preko proroka Jehua protiv Baaæa, 13 zbog svih grijeha æto su ih bili poçinili Baaæa i njegov sin Ela, i na koje su bili naveli Izraela kad su draœili na gnjev Gospodina, Boga Izraelova, svojim idolopoklonstvom. 14 Ostala djela Elina i sve æto je uçinio; nije li to zapisano u knjizi ljetopisa Izraelovih kraljeva? 15 U dvadeset sedmoj godini kraljevanja Asina nad Judom, kraljevao je Zimri sedam dana u

Now it happened after many days that the word of the LORD came to Elijah, in the third year, saying, “Go, present yourself to Ahab, and I will send rain on the earth.” 2 So Elijah went to present himself to Ahab; and there was a severe famine in Samaria. 3 And Ahab had called Obadiah, who was in charge of his house. (Now Obadiah feared the LORD greatly. 4 For so it was, while Jezebel massacred the prophets of the LORD, that Obadiah had taken one hundred prophets and hidden them, fifty to a cave, and had fed them with bread and water.) 5 And Ahab had said to Obadiah, “Go into the land to all the springs of water and to all the brooks; perhaps we may find grass to keep the horses and mules alive, so that we will not have to kill any livestock. 6 So they divided the land between them to explore it; Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself. 7 Now as Obadiah was on his way, suddenly Elijah met him; and he recognized him, and fell on his face, and said, “Is that you, my lord Elijah?” 8 And he answered him, “It is I. Go, tell your master, ‘Elijah is here.’ ” 9 Then he said, “How have I sinned, that you are delivering your servant into the hand of Ahab, to kill me? 10 As the LORD your God lives, there is no nation or kingdom where my master has not sent someone to hunt for you; and when they said, ‘He is not here,’ he took an oath from the kingdom or nation that they could not find you. 11 And now you say, ‘Go, tell your master, “Elijah is here!” ’ 12 And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am gone from you, that the Spirit of the LORD will carry you to a place I do not know; so when I go and tell Ahab, and he cannot find you, he will kill me. But I your servant have feared the LORD from my youth. 13 Was it not reported to my lord what I did when Jezebel killed the prophets of the LORD, how I hid one hundred men of the Lord’s prophets, fifty to a cave, and fed them with bread and water? 14 And now you say, ‘Go, tell your master, “Elijah is here!” ‘and he will kill me.” 15 Then Elijah said, “As the LORD of hosts lives, before whom I stand, I will surely present myself to him today.” 16 So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him; and Ahab went to meet Elijah. 17 Then it happened, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said to him, “Is that you, O troubler of Israel?” 18 And he answered, “I have not troubled Israel, but you and your father’s house have, in that you have forsaken the commandments of the LORD, and you have followed the Baals. 19 Now therefore, send and gather all Israel to me on Mount Carmel, the four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal, and the four hundred prophets of Asherah, who eat at Jezebel’s table.” 20 So Ahab sent for all the sons of Israel, and gathered the prophets together on Mount Carmel. 21 And Elijah came to all the people, and said, “How long will you falter between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow him; but if Baal, then follow him.” But the people answered him not a word. 22 Then Elijah said to the people, “I alone am left a prophet of the LORD; but Baal’s prophets are four hundred and fifty men.

Dogodilo se poslije mnogo dana, doæla je rijeç Gospodinova Iliji, govoreøi: “Idi, stupi pred Ahaba, jer hoøu poslati kiæu na zemlju!” 2 Ilija je otiæao da se pokaœe pred Ahabom. A bila je glad u Samariji i bivala sve jaça, 3 Ahab je dozvao upravitelja dvora Abdiju. Abdija je bio vjeran ætovatelj Gospodina. 4 Kad je htjela Jezebela iskorijeniti proroke Gospodinove, uzeo je Abdija stotinu proroka i sakrio ih po pedeset u jednu æpilju i hranio ih jelom i piøem. 5 Ahab je zapovjedio Abdiji: “Potraœi sve izvore i potoke po zemlji; moœda naåemo joæ trave da bi mogli odrœati na œivotu konje i mazge i da ne moramo pustiti da ugine ijedna œivotinja.” 6 I podijelili su se po zemlji da ju proåu. Ahab je sam otiæao jednim pravcem, a Abdija je sam otiæao drugim pravcem. 7 Dok je Abdija bio na putu, doæao mu u susret Ilija. Kad je on prepoznao ovoga, bacio se niçice na svoje lice i upitao: “Jesi li to ti, moj gospodaru, Ilija?” 8 On mu odgovorio: “Ja sam, idi i kaœi svojem gospodaru: “Evo Ilije!” 9 Ali onaj je odgovorio: “Æto sam poçinio da svojega slugu predajeæ u ruke Ahabu da me pogubi? 10 Tako mi œivoga Gospodina, tvojega Boga, nema naroda ni kraljevstva gdje te moj gospodar ne bi dao traœiti. Kad mu se reklo: ‘Nema ga,’ onda on zakle kraljevstvo ili narod da te nisu naæli. 11 Sad ti traœiæ: ‘Idi, kaœi svojem gospodaru: “Evo Ilije!”’ 12 Kad ja sad odem od tebe, tko zna kamo øe tebe, meåutim, odnijeti Duh Gospodinov. Doåem li ja onda k Ahabu da mu javim, a on te ne naåe, ubit øe me. A tvoj sluga ætuje Gospodina od svoje mladosti. 13 Pa nije li poznato mojem gospodaru æto sam uçinio kad ono Jezebela dade ubijati proroke Gospodinove. Kako sam sakrio stotinu Gospodinovih proroka, po pedeset u jednoj æpilji, i hranio ih jelom i piøem. 14 A sad ti traœiæ: ‘Idi, kaœi svojem gospodaru: Evo Ilije! On øe me ubiti!’ ” 15 Ali je Ilija rekao: “Tako mi œivoga Gospodina vojska, u çijoj sam sluœbi, joæ danas øu mu se pokazati!” 16 I tako je Abdija otiæao pred Ahaba i javio mu; i Ahab se zaputio da se sastane s Ilijom. 17 Kad je opazio Ahab Iliju, povikao mu Ahab: “Jesi li ti onaj æto donosiæ nesreøu na Izraela?” 18 On je odgovorio: “Nisam ja donio nesreøu na Izraela nego ti i tvoja obitelj, jer ste ostavili zapovijedi Gospodinove, i ti si pristao za Baalima. 19 A sada poæalji i daj skupiti k meni svega Izraela na gori Karmelu i çetiri stotine i pedeset Baalovih proroka i çetiri stotine aætartinih proroka, koji jedu za stolom Jezebelinim!” 20 I rasposlao Ahab svim Izraelovim sinovima i dao skupiti proroke na gori Karmelu. 21 Ondje je stupio Ilija pred sav narod i rekao: “Kako øete joæ dugo hramati na obje strane? Ako je Gospodin pravi Bog, onda se drœite uz njega! A je li to Baal, onda idite za njim!” Ali narod nije dao nikakva odgovora.

Oni neka sebi izaberu jednoga junca, neka ga raskomadaju i no fire under it. 24 Then you call on the name of your gods, and I will stave na drva, ali ognja da ne zapale! Ja øu call on the name of the LORD; and the God who an- pripremiti drugoga junca i staviti ga na drva, a swers by fire, he is God.” So all the people answered da ne zapalim ognja. 24 Onda prizovite ime svojega boga, a ja øu and said, “It is well spoken.” 25 Now Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, “Choose prizvati Ime Gospodinovo. Bog koji odgovori one bull for yourselves and prepare it first, for you ognjem, pravi je Bog.” I odgovorio je sav narod, are many; and call on the name of your god, but put govoreøi: “Tako je pravo!” 25 Nato je Ilija rekao Baalovim prorocima: “Izano fire under it.” 26 So they took the bull which was given them, and berite si jednoga od junaca i najprije ga they prepared it, and called on the name of Baal from pripremite, jer vas ima mnogo. Onda prizovite morning even till noon, saying, “O Baal, hear us!” But ime svojega boga; ali ognja ne palite!” there was no voice; no one answered. And they 26 Oni su uzeli junca kojega im je dao, pripremili su ga i prizivali su od jutra do podne leaped about the altar which they had made. 27 And so it was, at noon, that Elijah mocked them ime Baalovo viçuøi: “Baale, usliæaj nas!” Ali nije and said, “Cry aloud, for he is a god; either he is medi- dolazio nikakav glas i nikakav odgovor.

And he re- nikakav glas, nikakav odgovor, nikakvo uspaired the altar of the LORD that was broken down. liæanje. 31 And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the 30 A sada pozvao Ilija sav narod: “Pristupite number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom ovamo k meni!” Sav narod je pristupio k njemu. the word of the LORD had come, saying, “Israel shall On je podigao opet poruæen Gospodinov œrtvenik. be your name.” 32 Then with the stones he built an altar in the name 31 Prema broju plemena Jakovljevih sinova, of the LORD; and he made a trench around the altar komu je bila doæla rijeç Gospodinova: “Izrael bit øe tvoje ime”, uzeo Ilija dvanaest kamenova. large enough to hold two seahs of seed. 33 And he put the wood in order, cut the bull in pieces, 32 Od toga kamenja napravio œrtvenik u Ime and laid it on the wood, and said, “Fill four waterpots Gospodinovo i oko œrtvenika iskopao jarak, with water, and pour it on the burnt sacrifice and on dosta velik, da uzme dvije mjere œita. 33 Onda je naslagao drva, raskomadao junca i the wood.” 34 Then he said, “Do it a second time,” and they did stavio ga na œrtvenik. it a second time; and he said, “Do it a third time,” and 34 Onda je rekao: “Napunite çetiri vrça vode i izlijte je na œrtvu paljenicu i na drva!” On je they did it a third time. 35 So the water ran all around the altar; and he also rekao: “Uçinite to joæ jedanput!” Uçinili su joæ jedanput.

Ne dajte da i jedan od njih pobjegne!” Oni ih pohvatati i Ilija ih odveo na potok Kiæon i for there is the sound of abundance of rain.” 42 So Ahab went up to eat and drink.

And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, also how he had executed all the prophets with the sword. 2 Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, “So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I do not make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time.” 3 And when he saw that, he arose and ran for his life, and went to Beer-Sheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there. 4 But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a broom tree. And he prayed that he might die, and said, “It is enough! Now, LORD, take my life, for I am no better than my fathers!” 5 Then as he lay and slept under a broom tree, suddenly an angel touched him, and said to him, “Arise and eat.” 6 Then he looked, and there by his head was a cake baked on coals, and a jar of water. So he ate and drank, and lay down again. 7 And the angel of the LORD came back the second time, and touched him, and said, “Arise and eat, because the journey is too great for you.” 8 So he arose, and ate and drank; and he went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights as far as Horeb, the mountain of God. 9 And there he went into a cave, and spent the night in that place; and behold, the word of the LORD came to him, and he said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” 10 So he said, “I have been very zealous for the LORD God of hosts; for the sons of Israel have forsaken your covenant, torn down your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword. I alone am left; and they seek to take my life.” 11 Then he said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before the LORD.” And behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake; 12 and after the earthquake a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice. 13 So it was, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood in the entrance of the cave. And suddenly a voice came to him, and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” 14 So he said, “I have been very zealous for the LORD God of hosts; because the sons of Israel have forsaken your covenant, torn down your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword. I alone am left; and they seek to take my life.” 15 Then the LORD said to him: “Go, return on your

Ahab je pripovjedio Jezebeli sve æto je Ilija uçinio i kako je maçem poubijao sve proroke. 2 Onda je poslala Jezebela glasnika k Iliji i zaprijeti: “Neka meni bogovi uçine æto hoøe, ako ja sutra u ovo doba ne uçinim s tobom isto onako kako si ti s njima!” 3 On se prestraæio ustao i otiæao odatle da se zakloni na sigurnu mjestu. Kad je doæao u Beer-Æebu u Judinoj zemlji, ostavio je ondje svojega slugu. 4 Sam je otiæao dan hoda daleko u pustinju i sjeo onda pod jednu smreku. Imao je joæ samo œelju da umre i molio se: “Dosta je toga; uzmi, Gospodine, moj œivot jer nisam bolji od svojih otaca.” 5 Potom je legnuo i zaspao pod smrekom. Najedanput taknuo ga anåeo Gospodinov i rekao mu: “Ustani i jedi!” 6 Kad je pogledao, opazio je pokraj glave prœeni kolaç i vrç vode. Tako je jeo napio se i legnuo opet spavati. 7 Ali anåeo je doæao joæ jedanput, taknuo ga i rekao: “Ustani i jedi, jer ti je dalek put.” 8 Ustao je, jeo i napio se i putovao, okrijepljen ovim jelom, çetrdeset dana i çetrdeset noøi sve do gore Boœje Horeba. 9 Ondje je potraœio æpilju i prenoøio u njoj. Onda mu doæla rijeç Gospodinova, i on mu rekao: “Æto radiæ ovdje, Ilija?” 10 On je odgovorio: “Pun sam revnosti za stvar Gospodina, Boga vojska, jer su Izraelovi sinovi ostavili tvoj zavjet, tvoje œrtvenike su poruæili i tvoje proroke maçem pobili, samo sam ja ostao, ali i moj œivot traœe.” 11 On je odgovorio: “Izaåi i stani na gori pred Gospodina!” Onda je proæao Gospodin pokraj njega. Pred Gospodinom je hodio silan, œestok vihor, koji je brda razdirao i hridine potresao, ali Gospodin nije bio u vihoru. 12 Iza vihora doæao je potres, doæao oganj, ali Gospodin nije bio u ognju. Iza ognja doælo je tiho, blago lahorenje. 13 Kad je to çuo Ilija, pokrio je svoje lice svojim ogrtaçem, stupio van i stao na ulazu u æpilju. Onda mu progovorio glas æto je pitao: “Æto radiæ ovdje, Ilija?” 14 On je odgovorio: “Pun sam revnosti za stvar Gospodina, Boga vojska, jer su Izraelovi sinovi ostavili tvoj zavjet, tvoje œrtvenike poruæili i tvoje proroke maçem pobili. Jedini sam ja ostao, ali i meni rade o glavi.” 15 Nato mu zapovjedio Gospodin: “Idi, vrati se

Now Ben-Hadad the king of Syria gathered all his forces together; there were thirty-two kings with him, with horses and chariots. And he went up and besieged Samaria, and made war against it. 2 Then he sent messengers into the city to Ahab king of Israel, and said to him, “Thus says Ben-Hadad: 3 Your silver and your gold are mine; your loveliest wives and children are mine.’ ” 4 And the king of Israel answered and said, “My lord, O king, just as you say, I and all that I have are yours.” 5 Then the messengers came back and said, “Thus speaks Ben-Hadad, saying, ‘Indeed I have sent to you, saying, you shall deliver to me your silver and your gold, your wives and your children. 6 But I will send my servants to you tomorrow about this time, and they shall search your house and the houses of your servants. And it shall be, that whatever is pleasant in your eyes, they shall put in their hands and take it.’ ” 7 Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, “Notice, please, and see how this man seeks trouble, for he sent to me for my wives, my children, my silver, and my gold; and I did not deny him.” 8 And all the elders and all the people said to him, “Do not listen or consent.” 9 Therefore he said to the messengers of Ben-Hadad, “Tell my lord the king, ‘All that you sent for to your servant the first time I will do, but this thing I cannot do.’ “And the messengers departed and brought back word to him. 10 Then Ben-Hadad sent to him and said, “The gods do so to me, and more also, if enough dust is left of Samaria for a handful for each of the people who follow me.” 11 So the king of Israel answered and said, “Tell him, ‘Let not the one who puts on his armor boast like the one who takes it off.’ ” 12 And it happened when Ben-Hadad heard this message, as he and the kings were drinking at the command post, that he said to his servants, “Get ready.” And they got ready to attack the city. 13 Suddenly a prophet approached Ahab king of Israel, saying, “Thus says the LORD: ‘Have you seen all this great multitude? Behold, I will deliver it into your hand today, and you shall know that I am the LORD.’

Pobjeda Ahabova nad Sirijcima

Nato je Ben-Hadad, kralj Sirije, skupio svu svoju vojsku. Trideset i dva kralja su mu se prikljuçili s konjima i kolima. On je otiæao, opkolio Samariju i udario na nju. 2 I on poslao poslanike u grad k Ahabu, Izraelovu kralju, i poruçio mu: “Ovako govori Ben-Hadad: 3 ‘Tvoje srebro i zlato pripada meni, i tvoje najljepæe œene i djeca moji su.’ ” 4 Odgovorio mu Izraelov kralj, govoreøi: “Kako zapovjedaæ, moj gospodaru i kralju! Tvoj sam ja sa svim æto imam.” 5 Nato su doæli poslanici joæ jedanput, govoreøi: “Ovako govori Ben-Hadad: ‘Poruçio sam ti: Svoje srebro i zlato, svoje œene i svoju djecu øeæ mi izruçiti. 6 A sutra øu u ovo doba poslati k tebi svoje sluge, da pretraœe tvoju kuøu i kuøe tvojih sluga. Oni øe sve æto se naåe kod tebe dragocjeno, sobom uzeti i ovamo donijeti.’ ” 7 A Izraelov kralj je dozvao sve zemaljske starjeæine i rekao: “Iz toga biste mogli jasno spoznati, kako on misli zlo, jer æalje k meni da odnese moje œene i djecu, moje srebro i zlato, premda ga nisam odbio.” 8 Starjeæine i sav narod odgovorili mu: “To ti ne smijeæ dopustiti, na to ne smijeæ pristati.” 9 I on je odgovorio poslanicima Ben-Hadadovim: “Javite mojem gospodaru, kralju: ‘Sve æto si prije traœio od svojega sluge, uçinit øu, ali ovo zadnje æto traœiæ ne mogu ispuniti.’ ” Poslanici su otiæli i odnijeli su mu odgovor. 10 A Ben-Hadad mu poruçio: “Neka mi bogovi uçine æto hoøe ako bude dosta praha od Samarije da svim ratnicima æto idu za mnom dopadne po jedna pregræt.” 11 Odgovorio mu Izraelov kralj, govoreøi: “Recite mu samo: ‘Tko se joæ opasuje, neka se ne isprsuje kao onaj koji se veø raspasuje!’ ” 12 I dogodilo se da kad je on çuo taj odgovor– bio je upravo s kraljevima pod æatorima i pio– zapovjedio je svojim slugama: “Dignite se!”, i oni su udarili na grad. 13 Onda je pristupio jedan prorok k Ahabu, Izraelovu kralju, i rekao: “Ovako govori Gospo-

And it happened after these things that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard which was in Jezreel, next to the palace of Ahab king of Samaria. 2 So Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, “Give me your vineyard, that I may have it for a vegetable garden, because it is near, next to my house; and for it I will give you a vineyard better than it. Or, if it seems good to you, I will give you its worth in money.” 3 And Naboth said to Ahab, “The LORD forbid that I should give the inheritance of my fathers to you!” 4 So Ahab went into his house sullen and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him; for he had said, “I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers.” And he lay down on his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no food. 5 But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said to him, “Why is your spirit so sullen that you eat no food?” 6 So he said to her, “Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite, and said to him, ‘Give me your vineyard for money; or else, if it pleases you, I will give you another vineyard for it.’ And he answered, ‘I will not give you my vineyard.’ ” 7 Then Jezebel his wife said to him, “You now exercise authority over Israel!

Ahabovo nasilje, kazna i okajanje

I dogodilo se, nakon toga: Jezreelac Nabot imao je vinograd u Jezreelu blizu do dvora Ahaba, samarijskog kralja. 2 I Ahab predloœio Nabotu: “Daj mi svoj vinograd! Htio bih ga upotrijebiti kao vrt za zelje, jer je blizu do moje kuøe. Dat øu ti za njega bolji vinograd. Ako li voliæ, dat øu ti u novcu æto vrijedi.” 3 A Nabot je odgovorio Ahabu: “Saçuvaj Boœe da ti odstupim baætinu svojih otaca!” 4 Tako se Ahab vrati u svoj dvor ljutit i zlovoljan zbog toga æto mu je Jezreelac Nabot odgovorio: “Ne mogu ti odstupiti baætinu svojih otaca.” On se bacio na svoju postelju, okrenuo svoje lice i nije uzeo nikakva jela. 5 Kad je njegova œena Jezebela doæla k njemu i upitala ga: “Zaæto si tako zlovoljan i neøeæ niæta jesti?” 6 Onda joj on je odgovorio: “Razgovarao sam s Jezreelcem Nabotom i predloœio mu: ‘Daj mi vinograd svoj za novce, ili ako voliæ, dat øu ti drugi vinograd za taj.’ A on mi rekao: ‘Ne dam ti svojega vinograda.’ ” 7 Onda mu je rekla njegova œena Jezebela: “Sad jedanput pokaœi da si Izraelov kralj!

Now three years passed without war between Syria and Israel. 2 Then it happened, in the third year, that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went down to visit the king of Israel. 3 And the king of Israel said to his servants, “Do you know that Ramoth in Gilead is ours, but we hesitate to take it out of the hand of the king of Syria?” 4 So he said to Jehoshaphat, “Will you go with me to fight at Ramoth Gilead?” And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses.” 5 And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “Please inquire for the word of the LORD today.” 6 Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said to them, “Shall I go against Ramoth Gilead to fight, or shall I refrain?” So they said, “Go up, for the LORD will deliver it into the hand of the king.” 7 And Jehoshaphat said, “Is there not still a prophet of the LORD here, that we may inquire of him?” 8 So the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “There is still one man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may inquire of the LORD; but I hate him, because he does not prophesy good concerning me, but evil.” And Jehoshaphat said, “Let not the king say such things!” 9 Then the king of Israel called an officer and said, “Bring Micaiah the son of Imlah quickly!” 10 The king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, having put on their robes, sat each on his throne, at a threshing floor at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them. 11 Now Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah had made horns of iron for himself; and he said, “Thus says the LORD: ‘With these you shall gore the Syrians until they are destroyed.’ ” 12 And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, “Go up to Ramoth Gilead and prosper, for the LORD will deliver it into the king’s hand.” 13 Then the messenger who had gone to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, “Now listen, the words of the prophets with one accord encourage the king. Please, let your word be like the word of one of them, and speak encouragement.” 14 And Micaiah said, “As the LORD lives, whatever the LORD says to me, that I will speak.” 15 Then he came to the king; and the king said to him, “Micaiah, shall we go to war against Ramoth Gilead, or shall we refrain?” And he answered him, “Go and prosper, for the LORD will deliver it into the hand of the king!” 16 So the king said to him, “How many times shall I make you swear that you tell me nothing but the truth in the name of the LORD?” 17 Then he said, “I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd. And the LORD said, ‘These have no master. Let each return to his house in peace.’ ” 18 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Did I not tell you that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?”

Ahab i Joæafat ratuju protiv Aramejaca

Proæle su tri godine bez rata izmeåu Sirije i Izraela. 2 I dogodilo se treøe godine, doæao Joæafat, Judin kralj, Izraelovu kralju. 3 Kralj Izraelov bio je rekao svojim slugama: “Znate da Ramot Gilead pripada nama, a mi ovdje sjedimo besposleni, umjesto da ga otmemo kralju Sirije.” 4 I kad on Joæafata upitao: “Hoøeæ li poøi sa mnom u boj protiv Ramot Gileada?”, odgovorio je Joæafat Izraelovu kralju: “Æto ti hoøeæ, hoøu i ja; moja vojska tvoja je vojska, moji konji tvoji su konji.” 5 A Joæafat je dao Izraelovu kralju ovaj savjet: “Upitaj prije ipak Gospodina!” 6 I tako Izraelov kralj dao je skupiti proroke, otprilike çetiri stotine ljudi, i upitao ih: “Hoøu li poøi u rat na Ramot Gilead, ili da odustanem?” Oni su odgovorili: “Poåi, jer øe ga Gospodin dati u ruke kralju!” 7 A Joæafat je upitao: “Ima li ovdje joæ koji prorok Gospodinov da ga upitamo?” 8 Kralj Izraelov je rekao Joæafatu: “Ima joæ jedan preko koga bismo mogli upitati Gospodina, ali ja ga ne mogu podnositi, jer mi nikada ne proriçe dobro nego samo zlo–to je Mikaja, sin Imlin.” A Joæafat je rekao: “Neka kralj ne govori tako.” 9 I Izraelov kralj dozvao jednoga dvoranina i zapovjedio mu: “Brœe dovedi Mikaju, sina Imlina!” 10 Uto su sjedili Izraelov kralj i Joæafat, Judin kralj, svaki na svojem prijestolju u kraljevskim haljinama na trgu kod samarijskih vrata, i svi su proroci pred njima prorokovali. 11 Zedekija, sin Kenaanaha, napravio sebi œeljezne rogove i vikao: “Ovako govori Gospodin: ‘Tako øeæ pobosti Sirijce dok ih ne uniætiæ!’ ” 12 Svi drugi proroci prorokovali su isto tako: “Poåi samo na Ramot Gilead, i uspjet øeæ. Gospodin øe ga dati u ruke kralju.” 13 Poslanik, koji je bio otiæao da dovede Mikaju, rekao mu: “Pazi dobro, proroci su kralju jednoglasno obeøali sreøu. Pa i ti, kao svaki od njih prorokuj i sreøu navjeæøuj!” 14 Mikaja je odgovorio: “Tako mi œivoga Gospodina, samo æto mi nadahne Gospodin, to øu navijestiti.” 15 Kad je doæao kralju, upitao ga kralj: “Mikaja, hoøemo li poøi u rat na Ramot Gilead, ili da odustanemo?” On mu odgovorio: “Poåi, i uspjet øeæ. Gospodin øe ga dati kralju u ruke!” 16 A kralj mu rekao: “Koliko øu te puta zaklinjati, da mi samo çistu istinu navijestiæ u Ime Gospodinovo?” 17 Onda je on rekao “Vidim sav Izraelov narod razasut po brdima kao ovce, koje nemaju pastira. Gospodin je rekao: ‘Oni nemaju gospodara; zato neka se svaki vrati kuøi u miru!’ ” 18 Onda je rekao Izraelov kralj Joæafatu: “Nisam li ti rekao, on mi ne prorokuje sreøu, nego samo zlo?” 19 A Mikaja je nastavio: “Zato çuj rijeç Gospo-

SECOND BOOK OF KINGS

Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab. 2 Now Ahaziah fell through the lattice of his upper room in Samaria, and was injured; so he sent messengers and said to them, “Go, inquire of Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I shall recover from this injury.” 3 But the angel of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, “Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say to them, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are going to inquire of BaalZebub, the god of Ekron?’ 4 Now therefore, thus says the LORD: ‘You shall not come down from the bed to which you have gone up, but you shall surely die.’ So Elijah departed. 5 And when the messengers returned to him, he said to them, “Why have you come back?” 6 So they said to him, “A man came up to meet us, and said to us, ‘Go, return to the king who sent you, and say to him, “Thus says the LORD: ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are sending to inquire of Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron?

Smrt Ahazije. Revnost Ilijina

Poslije Ahabove smrti Moab se pobunio protiv Izraela. 2 Nato je Ahazija u Samariji pao kroz reæetku prozoru svoje gornje sobe i ozlijedio se, pa je poslao poslanike i rekao im: “Idite, pitajte BaalZebuba, ekronskog boga, hoøu li ozdraviti od ove ozljede!” 3 Ali anåeo Gospodinov zapovjedio je Iliji, Tiæbiøaninu: “Ustani, izaåi u susret poslanicima samarijskog kralja i kaœi im: ‘Zar nema Boga u Izraelu, te idete Baal-Zebubu, bogu u Ekronu, da ga pitate?’ 4 Stoga ovako govori Gospodin: ‘S postelje, na koju si se popeo, neøeæ viæe siøi, jer moraæ umrijeti.’ I otiæao Ilija svojim putom. 5 I kad se poslanici vratili k onomu, upitao ih on: “Zaæto ste se veø vratili!” 6 Oni mu odgovorili: “Jedan çovjek doæao nam u susret i rekao nam: ‘Idite vratite se kralju, koji vas je poslao, i javite mu: “Ovako govori Gospodin: ‘Zar nema Boga u Izraelu, te æaljeæ k Baal-Zebubu, bogu u Ekronu, da ga pitaæ?

And it happened, when the LORD was about to take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal. 2 Then Elijah said to Elisha, “Stay here, please, for the LORD has sent me on to Bethel.” And Elisha said, “As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you!” So they went down to Bethel. 3 And the sons of the prophets who were at Bethel came out to Elisha, and said to him, “Do you know that the LORD will take away your master from over you today?” And he said, “Yes, I know; keep silent!” 4 Then Elijah said to him, “Elisha, stay here, please, for the LORD has sent me on to Jericho.” And he said, “As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you!” So they came to Jericho. 5 And the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho came to Elisha and said to him, “Do you know that the LORD will take away your master from over you today?” So he answered, “Yes, I know; keep silent!” 6 Then Elijah said to him, “Stay here, please, for the LORD has sent me on to the Jordan.” And he said, “As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave

A certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, “Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the LORD. And the creditor is coming to take my two sons to be his slaves.” 2 So Elisha said to her, “What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?” And she said, “Your maidservant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil.” 3 Then he said, “Go, borrow vessels from everywhere, from all your neighbors–empty vessels; do not gather just a few. 4 And when you have come in, you shall shut the door behind you and your sons; then pour it into all those vessels, and set aside the full ones.” 5 So she went from him and shut the door behind her and her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured it out. 6 Now it happened, when the vessels were full, that she said to her son, “Bring me another vessel.” And he said to her, “There is not another vessel.” So the oil ceased. 7 Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, “Go, sell the oil and pay your debt; and you and your sons live on the rest.” 8 Now it happened one day that Elisha went to Shunem, where there was a notable woman, and she constrained him to eat some food. So it was, as often as he passed by, that he turned in there to eat some food. 9 And she said to her husband, “Look now, I know that this is a holy man of God, who passes by us regularly. 10 Please, let us make a small upper room on the wall; and let us put a bed for him there, and a table and a chair and a lampstand; so it will be, whenever he comes to us, he can turn in there.” 11 And it happened one day that he came there, and he turned in to the upper room and lay down there. 12 Then he said to Gehazi his servant, “Call this Shunammite woman.” When he had called her, she stood before him. 13 And he said to him, “Say now to her, ‘Look, you have been concerned for us with all this care. What can I do for you? Do you want me to speak on your behalf to the king or to the commander of the army?’

Çudesna djela Eliæejeva

Jedna izmeåu œena proroçkih uçenika, zamolila je Eliæeja: “Moj muœ, tvoj sluga, je umro, a znaæ da je tvoj sluga bio ætovatelj Gospodina. Sad dolazi vjerovnik i uzet øe mi oba sina moja za robove.” 2 Eliæej je upitao: “Æto da ti uçinim? Kaœi mi æto imaæ u kuøi!” Ona je odgovorila: “Tvoja sluækinja nema niæta u kuøi do posudicu ulja.”: 3 Onda joj je on rekao: “Idi, zatraœi posuda od svih svojih susjeda, praznih posuda, i to ne samo nekoliko! 4 Onda idi kuøi, zakljuçaj za sobom vrata i za svojom obojicom sinova i nalijevaj u sve te posude! Kad je pun jedan, stavi ga na stranu!” 5 I ona je otiæla od njega, zakljuçala vrata za sobom i za svojim sinovima; oni su joj dodavali posude, a ona je nalijevala. 6 I dogodilo se, kad su bile posude pune, rekla je ona svojem sinu: “Daj mi joæ jednu posudu!” On joj odgovorio: “Nema viæe nijedne!” Onda je prestalo teøi ulje. 7 Ona je otiæla i rekla Boœjemu çovjeku. On je rekao: “Idi, prodaj ulje i plati svoje vjerovnike! Od onoga æto preostane, moœeæ œivjeti sa svojim sinovima.” 8 Dogodilo se jednoga dana da je prolazio Eliæej pokraj Æunama. Ondje je œivjela ugledna œena koja mu ponudila jelo, i kad god bi onuda prolazio, navraøao se k njoj na jelo. 9 Ona je rekla svojem muœu: “Eto, znam, da je to svet Boœji çovjek, koji redovito prolazi pokraj nas. 10 Hajde, da mu napravimo malu gornju sobu na zidu, pa da mu namjestimo postelju, stol, stolicu i svjetiljku. Kad nam onda doåe, moœe se tu skloniti.” 11 I kad je jednoga dana opet doæao ondje, uæao u gornju sobu i zaspao ondje. 12 Potom je zapovjedio svojemu sluzi Gehaziju: “Pozovi naæu Æunamku!” On je pozvao, i ona je stupila pred njega. 13 I on je rekao onomu: “Kaœi joj sad: ‘Ti si se za nas toliko brinula. Æto hoøeæ da ti uçinim? Imaæ li æto da progovorimo za tebe kralju ili vojskovoåi?’” Ona je odgovorila: “Ja œivim meåu svo-

And so it was, when the man of God jem sluzi: “Goni samo neprestano i nemoj mi saw her afar off, that he said to his servant Gehazi, zastajati nigdje, osim kad ti kaœem!” 25 Tako je otiæao i doæao k Boœjemu çovjeku na “Look, there is the Shunammite woman. 26 Please run now to meet her, and say to her, ‘Is it Karmel.

Now Naaman, commander of the army of the king of Syria, was a great and honorable man in the eyes of his master, because by him the LORD had given victory to Syria. He was also a mighty man of valor, but he was a leper. 2 And the Syrians had gone out on raids, and had brought back captive a young girl from the land of Israel. She waited on Naaman’s wife. 3 Then she said to her mistress, “If only my master were with the prophet who is in Samaria! For he would heal him of his leprosy.” 4 And Naaman went in and told his master, saying, “Thus and thus said the girl who is from the land of Israel.” 5 So the king of Syria said, “Go now, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel.” So he departed and took with him ten talents of silver, six thousand shekels of gold, and ten changes of clothing. 6 Then he brought the letter to the king of Israel, which said, “Now be advised, when this letter comes to you, that I have sent Naaman my servant to you, that you may heal him of his leprosy.” 7 And it happened, when the king of Israel read the letter, that he tore his clothes and said, “Am I God, to kill and make alive, that this man sends a man to me to heal him of his leprosy? Therefore please consider, and see how he seeks a quarrel with me.” 8 So it was, when Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, “Why have you torn your clothes? Please let him come to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel.” 9 Then Naaman went with his horses and chariot, and he stood at the door of the house of Elisha. 10 And Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, “Go

Naaman, vojskovoåa sirijskog kralja, bio je çovjek koji je kod svojega gospodara mnogo vrijedio i bio vrlo ugledan, jer je preko njega Gospodin podijelio Sirijcima pobjedu. Ali taj çovjek, veliki junak, bio je gubav. 2 A bili su Sirijci u jednom boju zarobili i odveli iz izraelske zemlje mladu djevojku. Ona je postala sluækinja kod Naamanove œene. 3 Ona je rekla svojoj gospodarici: “Kad bi se ipak moj gospodar obratio proroku u Samariji, on bi ga zacijelo ozdravio od njegove gube.” 4 Onda je otiæao Naaman i javio to svojemu gospodaru: “Tako i tako rekla je djevojka iz izraelske zemlje.” 5 Sirijski kralj je rekao “Dobro, idi ondje, a ja øu po tebi poslati pismo Izraelovu kralju.” Tako se on zaputio, uzeo sobom deset talenata srebra, æest tisuøa æekela zlata i desetore sveçane haljine. 6 I predao Izraelovu kralju pismo s ovim sadrœajem: “Istodobno s ovim pismom æaljem k tebi svojega slugu Naamana da ga ozdraviæ od njegove gube.” 7 Kad je Izraelov kralj bio proçitao pismo, razderao je svoje haljine i povikao: “Zar sam ja Bog, koji moœe ubiti i œivot povratiti, te ovaj æalje k meni da oslobodim çovjeka od njegove gube? Tu vidite jasno da on traœi svaåu sa mnom.” 8 I dogodilo se kad je saznao Eliæej, Boœji çovjek, da je Izraelov kralj razderao svoje haljine, poslao je kralju i poruçio ovo: “Zaæto si razderao svoje haljine? Neka doåe sada k meni da spozna da ima prorok u Izraelu!”

And the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, “See now, the place where we dwell with you is too small for us. 2 Please, let us go to the Jordan, and let every man take a beam from there, and let us make there a place where we may dwell.” And he answered, “Go.” 3 Then one said, “Please consent to go with your servants.” And he answered, “I will go.” 4 So he went with them. And when they came to the Jordan, they cut down trees. 5 But as one was cutting down a tree, the iron ax head fell into the water; and he cried out and said, “Alas, master! For it was borrowed.” 6 And the man of God said, “Where did it fall?” And he showed him the place. So he cut off a stick, and threw it in there; and he made the iron float. 7 Therefore he said, “Pick it up for yourself.” So he reached out his hand and took it. 8 Now the king of Syria was making war against Israel; and he took counsel with his servants, saying, “My camp will be in such and such a place.” 9 And the man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying, “Beware that you do not pass this place, for the Syrians are coming down there.” 10 Then the king of Israel sent someone to the place of which the man of God had told him. Thus he warned him, and he was watchful there, not just once or twice. 11 Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was greatly troubled by this thing; and he called his servants and said to them, “Will you not show me which of us is for the king of Israel?” 12 And one of his servants said, “None, my lord, O king; but Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words that you speak in your bedroom.” 13 So he said, “Go and see where he is, that I may send and get him.” And it was told him, saying, “Surely he is in Dothan.” 14 Therefore he sent horses and chariots and a great army there, and they came by night and surrounded the city. 15 And when the servant of the man of God arose early and went out, there was an army, surrounding the city with horses and chariots. And his servant said to him, “Alas, my master! What shall we do?” 16 So he answered, “Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” 17 And Elisha prayed, and said, “LORD, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.” Then the LORD opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. 18 So when the Syrians came down to him, Elisha prayed to the LORD, and said, “Strike this people, I pray, with blindness.” And he struck them with blindness according to the word of Elisha. 19 Now Elisha said to them, “This is not the way, nor is this the city. Follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom you seek.” But he led them to Samaria. 20 So it was, when they had come to Samaria, that Elisha said, “LORD, open the eyes of these men, that they may see.” And the LORD opened their eyes, and

Novo çudo. Sljepoøa Sirijaca. Glad

Jednoga dana rekli su proroçki uçenici Eliæeju: “Eto vidi, prostor koji mi ovdje zauzimamo kod tebe, odviæe nam je tijesan! 2 Mi øemo poøi na Jordan, ondje øemo svaki uzeti po gredu i ovdje øemo sebi napraviti kuøu.” On je odgovorio: “Idite samo!” 3 A jedan je zamolio: “Budi tako dobar i poåi sa svojim slugama!” On je odgovorio: “Dobro, idem s vama. 4 I tako je poæao s njima. Kad su doæli na Jordan, poçeli su sjeøi drva. 5 Kad je jedan tesao gredu, pala mu œeljezna sjekira u vodu. On je povikao i rekao: “Jao, gospodaru! Joæ mi je ona posuåena.” 6 A Boœji çovjek je upitao: “Gdje je pala?” Onaj mu pokazao mjesto. I on je sebi odrezao komad drva, bacio ga ondje i uçinio da ispliva sjekira. 7 Onda je on rekao: “Izvadi je van!” I çovjek je pruœio svoju ruku, te ju uzeo. 8 Kad je sirijski kralj ratovao protiv Izraela, uçinio je sa svojim slugama ovaj dogovor: “Na tom i na tom mjestu øete se utaboriti!” 9 A Boœji çovjek je poslao Izraelovu kralju i poruçio mu: “Çuvaj se da ne prolaziæ onim mjestom, jer su ondje Sirijci u zasjedi.” 10 Onda je Izraelov kralj poslao na ono mjesto æto mu ga je bio oznaçio Boœji çovjek. Svaki put, kad bi ga opomenuo, bio je na oprezu. Tako se to çeæøe dogaåalo. 11 Zbog toga se zabrinuo sirijski kralj. On je pozvao svoje sluge i upitao ih: “Biste li mi mogli reøi tko od nas drœi s Izraelovim kraljem?” 12 Jedan od njegovih sluga je odgovorio: “Nije tako, moj gospodaru i kralju, nego Eliæej, prorok u Izraelu, priopøuje Izraelovu kralju, çak i rijeçi koje govoriæ u svojoj spavaonici.” 13 Onda je zapovjedio: “Idite, pogledajte gdje on prebiva, da poæaljem ondje da ga uhvate!” Javili su mu, govoreøi: “Zaista on je u Dotanu.” 14 I poslao je onamo konje i bojna kola i jaku vojsku. Oni su doæli noøu i opkolili grad. 15 A kad se ujutro dignuo sluga Boœjega çovjeka i izaæao van, stajala je oko grada vojska s konjima i kolima. Njegov ga sluga upitao: “Jao, gospodaru æto da uçinimo?” 16 A on je rekao: “Ne boj se, jer onih koji su na naæoj strani, ima viæe negoli onih koji su na njihovoj strani.” 17 I pomolio se Eliæej: “Gospodine, otvori mu oçi da vidi!” I Gospodin je otvorio oçi sluzi i vidio kako je bila gora oko Eliæeja puna ognjenih konja i kola. 18 I kad neprijatelji Sirijci poæli protiv njega, pomolio se Eliæej Gospodinu: “Udari te ljude sljepoøom!” I udario ih sljepoøom, kako je to bio zamolio Eliæej. 19 Nato se okrenuo Eliæej k njima: “To nije pravi put, i to nije pravi grad. Hodite za mnom! Ja øu vas odvesti k çovjeku koga traœite.” I odveo ih u Samariju. 20 Kad su bili doæli u Samariju, pomolio se Eliæej: “Otvori im sad oçi da vide!” Gospodin im

Then Elisha said, “Hear the word of the LORD. Thus says the LORD: ‘Tomorrow about this time a seah of fine flour shall be sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel, at the gate of Samaria.’ ” 2 So an officer on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God and said, “Look, if the LORD would make windows in heaven, could this thing be?” And he said, “In fact, you shall see it with your eyes, but you shall not eat of it.” 3 Now there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate; and they said to one another, “Why are we sitting here until we die? 4 If we say, ‘We will enter the city,’ the famine is in the city, and we shall die there. And if we sit here, we die also. Now therefore, come, let us surrender to the army of the Syrians. If they keep us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die.”

Brzo opada skupoøa u Samariji

A Eliæej navijestio: “Çujte rijeç Gospopodinovu! Ovako govori Gospodin: ‘Sutra øe u ovo doba na vratima Samarije biti jedna mjera bijeloga braæna za æekel, a dvije mjere jeçmenoga braæna za æekel.’ ” 2 Dvorski çinovnik, na çiju se ruku naslanjao kralj, je odgovorio Boœjemu çovjeku: “I kad bi Gospodin naçinio okna na nebu, kako bi se moglo takvo æto dogoditi?” A on je odgovorio: “Vidjet øeæ svojim oçima, ali ga neøeæ jesti.” 3 A bila su izvan gradskih vrata çetiri gubavca, i oni su rekli jedan drugomu: “Æto øemo ovdje stajati dok umremo? 4 Ako odemo u grad, gdje je glad, umrijet øemo ondje, a ostanemo li ovdje, umrijet øemo ovdje. Zato hajdemo otiøi u tabor Sirijaca! Ako nas ostave u œivotu, ostat øemo u œivotu; ako nas pogube, pa umrijet øemo.”

Now Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. And Jehu wrote letters and sent them to Samaria, to the rulers of Jezreel, to the elders, and to those who reared Ahab’s sons, saying: 2 “Now as soon as this letter comes to you, since your master’s sons are with you, and you have chariots and horses, a fortified city also, and weapons, 3 choose the best qualified of your master’s sons, set him on his father’s throne, and fight for your master’s house. 4 But they were exceedingly afraid, and said, “Look, two kings could not stand up to him; how then can we stand?” 5 And he who was in charge of the house, and he who was in charge of the city, the elders also, and those who reared the sons, sent to Jehu, saying, “We are your servants, we will do all you tell us; but we will not make anyone king. Do what is good in your sight.” 6 Then he wrote a second letter to them, saying: If you are for me, and if you will obey my voice, take the heads of the men, your master’s sons, and come to me at Jezreel by this time tomorrow. Now the king’s sons, seventy persons, were with the great men of the city, who were rearing them. 7 So it was, when the letter came to them, that they took the king’s sons and slaughtered seventy persons, put their heads in baskets and sent them to him at Jezreel. 8 Then a messenger came and told him, saying, “They have brought the heads of the king’s sons.” And he said, “Lay them in two heaps at the entrance of the gate until morning.” 9 So it was, in the morning, that he went out and stood, and said to all the people, “You are righteous. Indeed I conspired against my master and killed him; but who killed all these?

A Ahab je u Samariji imao sedamdeset sinova. Jehu je uputio pismo u Samariju gradskim poglavarima, starjeæinama i odgojiteljima kraljeviøa iz obitelji Ahabove, govoreøi: 2 “Çim je ovo pismo doåe vama koji ste postavljeni nad kraljeviøima iz obitelji svojega gospodara i nad kolima i konjima, nad tvråavama i oruœjem, 3 izaberite sebi najboljega i najvaljanijega kraljeviøa iz obitelji svojega gospodara, postavite ga na prijestolje njegova oca i borite se za kuøu svojega gospodara!” 4 Ali se oni vrlo prestraæili, govoreøi: “Kad mu dva kralja nisu mogli odoljeti, kako øemo mi moøi?” 5 I predstojnik dvora, gradski poglavar, starjeæine i odgojitelji su poslali k Jehuu ovu vijest: “Mi smo tvoje sluge i çinit øemo sve æto nam zapovjediæ. Neøemo nikoga postavljati kraljem. Çini æto je dobro u tvojim oçima!” 6 A on im uputio drugo pismo s ovim sadrœajem: “Kad se drœite sa mnom i hoøete mi biti posluæni, uzmite glave kraljeviøa iz obitelji svojega gospodara i doåite s tim k meni sutra u ovo doba u Jezreel!” Kraljeviøi, njih sedamdeset, bili su kod najodliçnijih u gradu, koji su ih odgajali. 7 Çim je doælo njima to pismo, uzeli su kraljeviøe i poklali ih svih sedamdeset. Njihove glave su stavili u koæare i poslali mu ih u Jezreel. 8 Kad je doæao glasnik javio mu, govoreøi: “Donijeli su glave kraljeviøa, zapovjedio je on: “Sloœite ih do sutra na vratima u dvije hrpe!” 9 Iduøega jutra izaæao je on, stupio pred sav

When Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal heirs. 2 But Jehosheba, the daughter of King Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him away from among the king’s sons who were being murdered; and they hid him and his nurse in the bedroom, from Athaliah, so that he was not killed. 3 So he was hidden with her in the house of the LORD for six years, while Athaliah reigned over the land. 4 In the seventh year Jehoiada sent and brought the captains of hundreds, of the bodyguards and the escorts, and brought them into the house of the LORD to him. And he made a covenant with them and took an oath from them in the house of the LORD, and showed them the king’s son. 5 Then he commanded them, saying, “This is what you shall do: One-third of you who come on duty on the Sabbath shall be keeping watch over the king’s house, 6 one-third shall be at the gate of Sur, and one-third at the gate behind the escorts. You shall keep the watch of the house, lest it be broken down. 7 The two contingents of you who go off duty on the Sabbath shall keep the watch of the house of the LORD for the king. 8 But you shall surround the king on all sides, every man with his weapons in his hand; and whoever comes within range, let him be put to death. You are to be with the king as he goes out and as he comes in.” 9 So the captains of the hundreds did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded. Each of them took his men who were to be on duty on the Sabbath, with those who were going off duty on the Sabbath, and came to Jehoiada the priest. 10 And the priest gave the captains of hundreds the

Okrutnost Atalijina. Joaæ postaje kralj

Kad je Atalija, majka Ahazijina, doznala, da je njezin sin mrtav, odluçila je pobiti svu kraljevsku obitelj. 2 Ali Joæeba, køi kralja Jorama, sestra Ahazijina, uzela je Joaæa, sina Ahazijina, ukrala ga izmeåu kraljeviøa koji su imali biti pobijeni, i donijela ga s njegovom dojkinjom u loœnicu. Tako su ga sakrili od Atalije, tako nije bio pogubljen. 3 On je ostao æest godina skriven kod nje u Gospodinovu domu, a Atalija je vladala u zemlji. 4 U sedmoj godini dao je Jehojada poslati po stotnike, tjelesne straœare i vojnike i uvesti ih k sebi u Gospodinov dom. Onda se dogovorio s njima, i zakleo ih u Gospodinovu domu. Nato im pokazao kraljeva sina. 5 I dao im je ovu zapovijed “Vi øete ovako uçiniti: treøina vas, koji odlazite na Subotnji dan i preuzimate straœu u kraljevskom dvoru, 6 i druga treøina na vratima Sur i posljednja treøina na vratima iza vojnika, koji ste imali straœu kod dvora. 7 Oba druga dijela od vas, ukratko svi koji dolaze na Subotnji dan i drœe straœu u Gospodinovu domu za kralja. 8 Vi se imate svi okupiti oko kralja, svaki s oruœjem u ruci. Tko god doåe u blizinu neka se pogubi! Tako øete pratiti kralja kada dolazi i kada odlazi.” 9 Stotnici su uçinili toçno tako kako im je zapovjedio sveøenik Jehojada. Svaki je uzeo svoje ljude, one koji odlaze na Subotnji dan, i one koji dolaze na Subotnji dan k sveøeniku Jehojadi. 10 Sveøenik je dao stotnicima koplja i ætitove, koji su bili pripadali kralju Davidu i koji su se nalazili u Gospodinovu domu. 11 Tako su se bili unaokolo namjestili ljudi,

Potom je sveøenik namjestio straœu kod the Lord’s people, and also between the king and the Gospodinova doma. 19 I pustio da krenu stotnici, tjelesne straœe, vopeople. 18 And all the people of the land went to the temple jnici i sav narod. Izveli su kralja iz Gospodinova of Baal, and tore it down. They thoroughly broke in doma i poæli kroz vojniçka vrata u kraljevski pieces its altars and images, and killed Mattan the dvor. Onda je on ondje sjeo na kraljevsko prpriest of Baal before the altars. And the priest ap- ijestolje. 20 Sav narod u zemlji radovao se, i grad je ospointed officers over the house of the LORD. 19 Then he took the captains of hundreds, the body- tao miran.

12

In the seventh year of Jehu, Jehoash be came king, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Zibiah of Beer-Sheba. 2 Jehoash did what was right in the sight of the LORD all the days in which Jehoiada the priest instructed him. 3 But the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places. 4 And Jehoash said to the priests, “All the money of the dedicated gifts that are brought into the house of the LORD–each man’s census money, each man’s assessment money–and all the money that a man purposes in his heart to bring into the house of the LORD, 5 let the priests take it themselves, each from his constituency; and let them repair the damages of the temple, wherever any dilapidation is found.” 6 Now it was so, by the twenty-third year of King Jehoash, that the priests had not repaired the damages of the temple. 7 So King Jehoash called Jehoiada the priest and

Joaæ kralj. Popravljanje doma

U Jehuovoj sedmoj godini postao je Joaæ kralj i vladao je çetrdeset godina u Jeruzalemu. Njegova se majka zvala Sibija, iz Beer-Æebe. 2 Joaæ je çinio æto je bilo pravo u oçima Gospodina, dokle ga je svjetovao sveøenik Jehojada. 3 Ali uzvisine œrtvene nisu bile sruæene. Narod je joæ uvijek prinosio na uzvisinama œrtve zaklanice i kadio miomirisni k∑d. 4 Joaæ je zapovjedio sveøenicima: “Sav novac æto se kao posveøeni dar donosi u Gospodinov dom, naime, novac æto se odredio procjenom, porez po duœnosti, nadalje sav novac æto se donosi u dom od svoje volje, 5 to neka sveøenici uzimaju za sebe, svaki od svojega znanca! Oni s tim neka dadu popraviti sve æto je troæno na domu, gdje god se naåe kakva æteta!” 6 Ali u dvadeset treøoj godini kraljevanja Joaæova nisu joæ bili sveøenici popravili æto je bilo troæno na domu. 7 Tako je kralj Joaæ pozvao sveøenika Jehojadu i druge sveøenike i upitao ih: “Zaæto joæ

So he died, and they buried him with his fathers in the City of David. Then Amaziah his son reigned in his place.

In the twenty-third year of Joash the son of Ahaziah, king of Judah, Jehoahaz the son of Jehu became king over Israel in Samaria, and reigned seventeen years. 2 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and followed the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who had made Israel sin. He did not depart from them. 3 Then the anger of the LORD was aroused against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael king of Syria, and into the hand of Ben-Hadad the son of Hazael, all their days.

Joahaz i Joaæ u Izraelu

U godini dvadeset treøoj kraljevanja Joaæa, sina Ahazijina, nad Judom, postao je Joahaz, sin Jehuov, u Samariji Izraelov kralj za sedamnaest godina. 2 On je çinio zlo pred Gospodinom, i hodio je posve za istim grijesima na koje je bio naveo Izraela Jeroboam, sin Nebatov; on nije odstupio od njih. 3 Onda se raspalila srdœba Gospodinova protiv Izraela. Dao ih za sve ono vrijeme u ruke Hazaelu, sirijskomu kralju, i u ruke Ben-Hadadu,

In the second year of Joash the son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel, Amaziah the son of Joash, king of Judah, became king. 2 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem. 3 And he did what was right in the sight of the LORD, yet not like his father David; he did everything as his father Joash had done. 4 However the high places were not taken away, and the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places. 5 Now it happened, as soon as the kingdom was established in his hand, that he executed his servants who had murdered his father the king. 6 But the children of the murderers he did not execute, according to what is written in the book of the law of Moses, in which the LORD commanded, saying, “The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor shall the children be put to death for the fathers; but a person shall be put to death for his own sin.” 7 He killed ten thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt, and took Sela by war, and called its name Joktheel to this day. 8 Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, “Come, let us face one another in battle.” 9 And Jehoash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, “The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son as wife’; and a wild beast that was in Lebanon passed by and trampled the thistle. 10 You have indeed defeated Edom, and your heart has lifted you up. Glory in your success, and stay at home; for why should you meddle with trouble so that you fall–you and Judah with you?” 11 But Amaziah would not heed. Therefore Jehoash king of Israel went out; so he and Amaziah king of Judah faced one another at Beth Shemesh, which belongs to Judah. 12 And Judah was defeated by Israel, and every man fled to his tent. 13 Then Jehoash king of Israel captured Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash, the son of Ahaziah, at Beth Shemesh; and he went to Jerusalem, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the Gate of Ephraim to the Corner Gate–four hundred cubits. 14 And he took all the gold and silver, all the articles that were found in the house of the LORD and in the treasuries of the king’s house, and hostages, and returned to Samaria. 15 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash which he did– his might, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah–are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? 16 So Jehoash rested with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel. Then Jeroboam his son reigned in his place. 17 Amaziah the son of Joash, king of Judah, lived

Amazija i Azarija Judini kraljevi

U drugoj godini kraljevanja Joaæa, sina Joahazova, nad Izraelom postao je Amazija, sin Joaæov, Judin kralj. 2 Bilo mu je dvadeset i pet godina kad je postao kralj, i vladao je dvadeset i devet godina u Jeruzalemu. Njegova majka zvala se Joadana, iz Jeruzalema. 3 On je çinio æto je bilo pravo u oçima Gospodina, iako ne kao njegov djed David, ali posve onako, kako je bio çinio njegov otac Joaæ. 4 Uzvisine nisu bile dakako sruæene, nego je narod joæ uvijek prinosio œrtve zaklanice i kadio k∑d na uzvisinama. 5 Çim je on imao çvrsto u rukama kraljevsku vlast, dao je poubijati svoje dvorane koji su bili ubili njegova kraljevskog oca. 6 Sinove tih ubojica nije dao ipak ubiti po zapovijedi Gospodinovoj æto stoji u knjizi Mojsijeva zakona, gdje zapovjeda Gospodin: “Oçevi neka se ne pogube zbog svoje djece, niti djeca zbog svojih otaca, nego svaki neka se pogubi samo zbog svojega vlastitoga prekræaja. 7 On je pobio deset tisuøa Edomaca u Slanoj dolini, uzeo Selu napadom i dao gradu ime Jokteel, kojega ima do danas. 8 Onda poslao Amazija poslanike k Joaæu, sinu Joahazovu, unuku Jehuovu, Izraelovu kralju, s pozivom: “Doåi, da se ogledamo u boju!” 9 A Joaæ, Izraelov kralj, dao je Amaziji, Judinu kralju, odgovoriti: “Trn na Lebanonu poslao jedanput k cedru na Lebanonu i poruçio mu: “Daj svoju køer mojem sinu za œenu! Ali zvijer na Lebanonu pretrçala preko trna i zgazila ga. 10 Jer si pobio Edomce, postao si obijestan. Veseli se svojoj slavi i ostani kod kuøe! Zaæto izazivaæ zlo, da padneæ ti i Juda s tobom?” 11 Jer nije htio Amazija posluæati, podigao se Joaæ, Izraelov kralj, i ogledaju se on i Judin kralj Amazija kod Bet-Æemeæa Judina. 12 Judejci budu potuçeni od Izraelaca i pobjegnu svi k svojoj kuøi. 13 A Amaziju, Judina kralja, sina Joaæova, unuka Ahazijina, uhvati Joaæ, Izraelov kralj, kod Bet-Æemeæa i odveo ga u Jeruzalem. Onda sruæi zid jeruzalemski od vrata Efraimovih do vrata na uglu u prostoru od çetiri stotine lakata. 14 Uzeo sve zlato i srebro i sve posuåe æto se naåe u Gospodinovu domu i u riznicama kraljevskog dvora, uz to taoce, pa se vratio u Samariju. 15 Ostala djela Joaæova, njegova djela i pobjede, i kako je ratovao s kraljem Judinim Amazijom; nije li to zapisano u knjizi ljetopisa Izraelovih kraljeva? 16 Kad je Joaæ bio poçinuo kod svojih otaca, pokopali su ga u Samariji kod Izraelovih kraljeva. Njegov sin Jeroboam je kraljevao mjesto njega. 17 Amazija, sin Joaæov, Judin kralj, œivio je iza smrti Joaæa, sina Joahazova, Izraelova kralja, joæ petnaest godina. 18 Ostala djela Amazijina; nije li to zapisano u

In the seventeenth year of Pekah the son of Remaliah, Ahaz the son of Jotham, king of Judah, began to reign. 2 Ahaz was twenty years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem; and he did not do what was right in the sight of the LORD his God, as his father David had done. 3 But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel; indeed he made his son pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the nations whom the LORD had cast out from before the sons of Israel. 4 And he sacrificed and burned incense on the high places, on the hills, and under every green tree. 5 Then Rezin king of Syria and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, came up to Jerusalem to make war; and they besieged Ahaz but could not overcome him. 6 At that time Rezin king of Syria captured Elath for Syria, and drove the men of Judah from Elath. Then the Edomites went to Elath, and dwell there to this day. 7 So Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria, saying, “I am your servant and your son. Come up and save me from the hand of the king of Syria and from the hand of the king of Israel, who rise up against me.” 8 And Ahaz took the silver and gold that was found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasuries of the king’s house, and sent it as a present to the king of Assyria. 9 So the king of Assyria heeded him; for the king of Assyria went up against Damascus and took it, carried its people captive to Kir, and killed Rezin. 10 Now King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria, and saw an altar that was at Damascus; and King Ahaz sent to Urijah the priest the design of the altar and its pattern, according to all its workmanship. 11 Then Urijah the priest built an altar according to all that King Ahaz had sent from Damascus. So Urijah the priest made it before King Ahaz came from Damascus. 12 And when the king came from Damascus, the king

Ahaz Judin kralj

U sedamnaestoj godini Pekaha, sina Remalijina, postao je Ahaz, sin Jotamov, Judin kralj. 2 Dvadeset godina bilo je Ahazu, kad je postao kralj, i vladao je æesnaest godina u Jeruzalemu. On nije çinio æto je bilo pravo u oçima Gospodina, Boga njegova, kao njegov djed David. 3 Nego je hodio putom Izraelovih kraljeva. Dapaçe, svojega sina pusti da ide kroz oganj po gadnom obiçaju neznaboœaca, koje je Gospodin bio odagnao ispred Izraelovih sinova. 4 On je prinosio œrtve zaklanice i kadio miomirisni k∑d na uzvisinama i breœuljcima i pod svakim zelenim stablom. 5 Onda su izaæli u boj protiv Jeruzalema Resin, sirijski kralj, i Pekah, sin Remalijin, Izraelov kralj. Oni su opkolili Ahaza, ali nisu imali nikakva uspjeha u boju. 6 Onda Resin, sirijski kralj, povratio Sirijcima Elat i prognao Judejce iz Elata. Tako su doæli Sirijci u Elat i ostali su ondje do danaænjega dana. 7 Ahaz poslao poslanike k Tiglat-Pileseru, kralju asirskom, i poruçio mu: “Tvoj sam sluga i sin. Doåi, izbavi me iz ruku sirijskog kralja i Izraelova kralja, koji su me napali!” 8 Ujedno uzeo Ahaz srebro i zlato æto se naåe u Gospodinovu domu i u riznicama kraljevskog dvora, i poslao na dar kralju asirskomu. 9 I posluæa ga asirski kralj. Tako je poæao asirski kralj protiv Damaska, osvojio ga i odveo stanovnike u ropstvo u Kir. A Resina je dao pogubiti. 10 Kad otiæao kralj Ahaz u Damask da se sastane s Tiglat-Pileserom, asirskim kraljem, i kad opazio œrtvenik, koji je bio u Damasku, poslao kralj Ahaz sveøeniku Uriji nacrt œrtvenika i izgled sve njegove graåe. 11 Sveøenik Urija je dao sagraditi œrtvenik. Toçno po zapovijedi koju je bio poslao Ahaz iz Damaska, izradi ga sveøenik Urija, prije nego se joæ vratio kralj Ahaz iz Damaska. 12 Kad kralj doæao kuøi iz Damaska, razgledao

In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah, Hoshea the son of Elah became king of Israel in Samaria, and he reigned nine years. 2 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, but not as the kings of Israel who were before him. 3 Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against him; and Hoshea became his vassal, and paid him tribute money. 4 And the king of Assyria uncovered a conspiracy by Hoshea; for he had sent messengers to So, king of Egypt, and brought no tribute to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year. Therefore the king of Assyria shut him up, and bound him in prison. 5 Now the king of Assyria went throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria and besieged it for three years. 6 In the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria took Samaria and carried Israel away to Assyria, and placed them in Halah and by the Habor, the River of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes. 7 For so it was that the sons of Israel had sinned against the LORD their God, who had brought them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and they had feared other gods, 8 and had walked in the statutes of the nations whom the LORD had cast out from before the sons of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they had made. 9 Also the sons of Israel secretly did against the LORD their God things that were not right, and they built for themselves high places in all their cities, from watchtower to fortified city. 10 They set up for themselves sacred pillars and wooden images on every high hill and under every green tree; 11 and there they burned incense on all the high

Deset plemena odvedeno u asirsko ropstvo

U dvanaestoj godini Ahazova kraljevanja nad Judom postao je Hoæea, sin Elin, u Samariji kralj nad Izraelom za devet godina. 2 On je çinio zlo pred Gospodinom, iako ne u onoj mjeri kao kraljevi Izraelovi, koji su bili prije njega. 3 Protiv njega je izaæao Salmanasar, asirski kralj. Hoæea mu se pokorio, te mu je plaøao danak. 4 Ali kad je asirski kralj vidio da je Hoæea bio nevjeran–on je, naime, bio poslao poslanike k Sou, egipatskom kralju i nije platio danka kralju asirskomu kao svake godine–onda ga asirski kralj dao uhvatiti i u tamnicu baciti. 5 I podigao se asirski kralj protiv cijele zemlje, doæao pred Samariju, i opsjedao ju tri godine. 6 U devetoj godini Hoæeine vladavine osvojio asirski kralj Samariju, odveo Izraelove sinove u ropstvo u Asiriju i naseli ih u Helahu i na Haboru, rijeci u Gozanu, i u medijskim gradovima. 7 To se dogodi, jer su Izraelovi sinovi sagrijeæili protiv Gospodina, svojega Boga, koji ih je bio izveo iz Egipta, iz vlasti faraona, egipatskog kralja, i jer su ætovali tuåe bogove. 8 Œivjeli su po obiçajima neznaboœaca, koje je bio Gospodin odagnao ispred Izraelaca, i po obiçajima Izraelovih kraljeva, koji su ih bili uveli, 9 Izraelovi sinovi su poçinili protiv Gospodina, svojega Boga, stvari æto nisu bile prave: podigli su sebi œrtvene uzvisine po svim svojim mjestima od kule straœarske do utvråenoga grada. 10 Na svakom visokom breœuljku i pod svakim zelenim stablom postavili su drvene kipove. 11 Œrtvovali su ondje na uzvisinama kao

Now it happened in the third year of Hoshea the son of Elah, king of Israel, that Hezekiah the son of Ahaz, king of Judah, began to reign. 2 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Abi the daughter of Zechariah. 3 And he did what was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father David had done. 4 He removed the high places and broke the sacred pillars, cut down the wooden images and broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made; for until those days the sons of Israel burned incense to it, and called it Nehushtan. 5 He trusted in the LORD God of Israel, so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor any who were before him. 6 For he held fast to the LORD; he did not depart from following him, but kept his commandments, which the LORD had commanded Moses. 7 The LORD was with him; he prospered wherever he went. And he rebelled against the king of Assyria and did not serve him. 8 He subdued the Philistines, as far as Gaza and its territory, from watchtower to fortified city. 9 Now it happened in the fourth year of King Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea

Dogodilo se u treøoj godini kraljevanja Hoæee, sina Elina, nad Izraelom kraljevao je Ezekija, sin Ahaza Judina kralja. 2 Bilo mu je dvadeset i pet godina, kad je postao kralj, i vladao je dvadeset i devet godina u Jeruzalemu. Njegova majka zvala se Abija i bila je køi Zaharijina. 3 On je çinio æto je bilo pravo u oçima Gospodina, posve onako, kako je bio çinio njegov djed David. 4 On je uklonio uzvisine, sruæio kipove, isjekao drvene kipove i razbio mjedenu zmiju, koju je bio napravio Mojsije; do njegova vremena bili su joj, naime, Izraelovi sinovi prinosili k∑d, a zvali su ju Nehuætan. 5 On se pouzdavao u Gospodina, Boga Izraelova. Izmeåu svih Judinih kraljeva nije mu bilo jednaka ni meåu njegovim nasljednicima ni meåu njegovim prethodnicima. 6 On je çvrsto prionuo samo uz Gospodina i drœao njegove zapovijedi, koje je Gospodin bio dao Mojsiju. 7 Tako je i Gospodin bio s njim. U svemu æto bi poduzeo, imao je uspjeh. On je otpao od asirskog kralja i otkazao mu posluh. 8 Filistejce je pobio do Gaze s njezinim podruçjem, od kule straœarske do utvråenoga grada. 9 I dogodilo se u çetvrtoj godini kraljevanja

And so it was, when King Hezekiah heard it, that he tore his clothes, covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the LORD. 2 Then he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz. 3 And they said to him, “Thus says Hezekiah: ‘This day is a day of trouble, and rebuke, and blasphemy; for the children have come to birth, but there is no strength to bring them forth. 4 It may be that the LORD your God will hear all the words of the Rabshakeh, whom his master the king of Assyria has sent to reproach the living God, and will reprove the words which the LORD your God has heard. Therefore lift up your prayer for the remnant that is left.’ ” 5 So the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah. 6 And Isaiah said to them, “Thus you shall say to your master, ‘Thus says the LORD: Do not be afraid of the words which you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me. 7 Surely I will send a spirit upon him, and he shall hear a rumor and return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.’ ” 8 So the Rabshakeh returned and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah, for he heard that he had departed from Lachish. 9 And the king heard concerning Tirhakah king of

Kad je to çuo kralj Ezekija, razderao je svoje haljine, odjenuo pokorniçku odjeøu i otiæao u Gospodinov dom. 2 Predstojnika dvora Elijakima, drœavnog pisara Æebnu i starjeæine sveøenstva poslao, isto tako odjevene u pokorniçku odjeøu, k proroku Izaiji, sinu Amosovu. 3 Oni su mu rekli: “Ovako kaœe Ezekija: ‘Dan nevolje, kazne i pogrde danaænji je dan, jer su prispjela djeca do poroåaja, a nema snage da se rode. 4 Moœda çuje Gospodin, tvoj Bog, sve rijeçi Rabæaka, koga je njegov gospodar, asirski kralj, poslao ovamo da se naruga Bogu œivomu, te ga kazni zbog rijeçi koje je çuo Gospodin, tvoj Bog. Pomolio se stoga za ostatak koji se joæ nalazi!’” 5 I sluge kralja Ezekije doæle su k Izaiji. 6 Izaija im rekao: “Javite ovo svojem gospodaru. ‘Ovako govori Gospodin: Ne boj se od rijeçi æto si ih çuo kad su mi se narugale sluge asirskog kralja! 7 Evo, ja øu mu udahnuti namisao da se vrati u svoju zemlju kad çuje jednu vijest. A u njegovoj øu zemlji uçiniti da pogine od maça.’ ” 8 Na povratku naæao je Rabæaka asirskog kralja gdje opsjeda Libnu. On je, naime, bio çuo da je ovaj otiæao od Lakiæa. 9 I kad je kralju doælo do uæiju za Tirhaka, kralja etiopskoga: “Evo iziæao je u boj protiv tebe.”

-4682 Kings 2 Kraljevi Ethiopia, “Look, he has come out to make war with Poslao opet poslanike k Ezekiji i zapovjedio: you.” So he again sent messengers to Hezekiah, 10 “Odnesite ovu vijest Ezekiji, Judinu kralju: ‘Nemoj da te zavara tvoj Bog, u koga se uzdasaying, 10 “Thus you shall speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, jeæ misleøi, da neøe Jeruzalem pasti u ruke krasaying: ‘Do not let your God in whom you trust de- lju asirskomu! ceive you, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given into 11 Gledaj, sam si çuo æto su uçinili kraljevi asirski svim zemljama uniætivæi ih sasvim; a ti da se the hand of the king of Assyria. 11 Look!

Ti si jedini Bog nad to the house of the LORD, and spread it before the svima kraljevstvima na zemlji. Ti si onaj, koji je stvorio nebo i zemlju.

Therefore they have destroyed them. 19 Now therefore, O LORD our God, I pray, save us vijest: “Ovako govori Gospodin, Bog Izraelov: from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may ‘Molitvu, koju si mi upravio zbog Senaheriba, asirskog kralja, usliæao sam.’ know that you are the LORD God, you alone.” 20 Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, 21 “Ovu rijeç je Gospodin izrekao za njega: saying, “Thus says the LORD God of Israel: ‘That ‘Smije ti se, ruga ti se djevojka, køi Siona; za which you have prayed to me against Sennacherib tobom maæe glavom køi Jeruzalema. 22 Koga si pogrdio i pohulio, protiv koga si glas king of Assyria I have heard.’ “21 This is the word which the LORD has spoken con- podigao i bacio gore oholi pogled?

Then Esarhaddon his son reigned in his place.

20

In those days Hezekiah was sick and near death. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, went to him and said to him, “Thus says the LORD: ‘Set your house in order, for you shall die, and not live.’ ” 2 Then he turned his face toward the wall, and prayed to the LORD, saying, 3 “Remember now, O LORD, I pray, how I have walked before you in truth and with a loyal heart, and have done what was good in your sight.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly. 4 Then it happened, before Isaiah had gone out into the middle court, that the word of the LORD came to him, saying, 5 Return and tell Hezekiah the leader of my people, ‘Thus says the LORD, the God of David your father: I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; surely I will heal you. On the third day you shall go up to the house of the LORD. 6 And I will add to your days fifteen years. I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for my own sake, and for the sake of my servant David.’ ” 7 Then Isaiah said, “Take a lump of figs.” So they took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered. 8 And Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “What is the sign that the LORD will heal me, and that I shall go up to the house of the LORD the third day?” 9 Then Isaiah said, “This is the sign to you from the LORD, that the LORD will do the thing which he has spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten degrees or go backward ten degrees?” 10 And Hezekiah answered, “It is an easy thing for the shadow to go down ten degrees; no, but let the shadow go backward ten degrees.” 11 So Isaiah the prophet cried out to the LORD, and he brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down on the sundial of Ahaz. 12 At that time Berodach-Baladan the son of Bala-

Ezekijina bolest, ozdravljenje, taætina i smrt

20

U ono vrijeme razboljeo se Ezekija na smrt. Prorok Izaija, sin Amosov, doæao k njemu i rekao mu: “Ovako govori Gospodin: ‘Uredi svoju kuøu, jer øeæ umrijeti i neøeæ viæe ozdraviti!’ ” 2 Onda je on okrenuo svoje lice k zidu i upravio Gospodinu ovu molitvu: 3 “Ah, Gospodine, spomeni se ipak da sam hodio pred tobom u vjernosti i s odanim srcem i da sam çinio æto je tebi ugodno!” I udario Ezekija u glasan plaç. 4 A Izaija nije joæ ostavio srednje predvorje, doæla mu rijeç Gospodinova, govoreøi: 5 “Vratio se i javio Ezekiji, vladaru mojega naroda: ‘Ovako govori Gospodin, Bog Davida, tvojega djeda: Çuo sam tvoju molitvu i vidio tvoje suze. I eto, ozdravit øu te opet veø preksutra iøi øeæ u Gospodinov dom. 6 Dodat øu tvojemu vijeku petnaest godina. I izbavit øu tebe i ovaj grad iz ruku asirskog kralja i branit øu ovaj grad zbog sebe i zbog svojega sluge Davida.’ ” 7 Potom je zapovjedio Izaija: “Donesite grudu smokava!” Donijeli su ju i stavili na oteklinu, i on je ozdravio. 8 Ezekija je bio upitao Izaiju: “Koji je znak za to da øe me Gospodin ozdraviti i da øu preksutra moøi otiøi u Gospodinov dom?” 9 Izaija je odgovorio: “Ovo neka ti bude znak od Gospodina da øe Gospodin ispuniti svoje obeøanje koje je dao: hoøeæ li da ode sjena za deset stupnjeva naprijed ili za deset stupnjeva natrag?” 10 Ezekija je odgovorio: “Lako je sjeni otiøi naprijed za deset stupnjeva. Ne, sjena neka se vrati za deset stupnjeva natrag!” 11 I prorok Izaija je zavapio Gospodinu, i on je dao sjenu po stupnjevima, koju je veø bio spustio na stepenicama Ahazovim, vratiti natrag za

On je, naime, bio çuo, da je Ezekija gold, the spices and precious ointment, and all his bolestan. armory–all that was found among his treasures. 13 Ezekija se obradovao tomu i pokazao im There was nothing in his house or in all his dominion sva svoja skladiæta, srebro i zlato, mirise i that Hezekiah did not show them. skupocjeno ulje, svu svoju oruœarnicu i sve æto 14 Then Isaiah the prophet went to King Hezekiah, se nalazilo u riznicama.

Then vodu u grad; nije li to zapisano u knjizi ljetopisa Judinih kraljeva? Manasseh his son reigned in his place. 21 Kad je bio Ezekija poçinuo kod svojih otaca, postao je njegov sin Manaseh kralj mjesto njega.

21

Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hephzibah. 2 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, according to the abominations of the nations whom the LORD had cast out before the sons of Israel. 3 For he rebuilt the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; he raised up altars for Baal, and made a wooden image, as Ahab king of Israel had done; and he worshiped all the host of heaven and served them. 4 He also built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD had said, “In Jerusalem I will put My name.” 5 And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD. 6 Also he made his son pass through the fire, practiced soothsaying, used witchcraft, and consulted spiritists and mediums. He did much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger. 7 He even set a carved image of Asherah that he had made, in the house of which the LORD had said to David and to Solomon his son, “In this house and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put My name forever; 8 and I will not make the feet of Israel wander anymore from the land which I gave their fathers– only if they are careful to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the law that my servant Moses commanded them.” 9 But they paid no attention, and Manasseh seduced them to do more evil than the nations whom the LORD had destroyed before the sons of Israel.

Manaseh, Amon i Josija Judini kraljevi

Dvanaest godina bilo je Manasehu kad je postao kralj, i vladao je pedeset i pet godina u Jeruzalemu. Njegova majka zvala se Hefsiba. 2 On je çinio zlo pred oçima Gospodinovim kad je naslijedio gnusobe naroda koje je Gospodin bio protjerao ispred Izraelovih sinova. 3 Uzvisine, koje je bio sruæio njegov otac Ezekija, podigao on opet, podigao œrtvenike Baalu, dao je postaviti kip aætarte, kako je bio uçinio izraelski kralj Ahab, klanjao se svoj zvjezdanoj nebeskoj vojsci i njoj je sluœio. 4 I u Gospodinovu domu, o kojem je bio objavio Gospodin: “U Jeruzalemu dat øu da prebiva Ime moje”, sagradio œrtvenike. 5 Svoj zvjezdanoj vojsci nebeskoj podigao œrtvenike u oba predvorja Gospodinova doma. 6 Svojega vlastitog sina pustio da ide kroz oganj, vraçao je i gatao je, i namjestio zazivaçe duhova i vraçare. Tako je çinio mnogo zlo pred Gospodinom, i draœio ga tako na gnjev. 7 Dapaçe i rezbareni kip aætarte, koji je bio dao napraviti, postavio je u domu, za koji je bio Gospodin obeøao Davidu i njegovu sinu Salomonu: “Ovaj dom i Jeruzalem, koji sam izabrao izmeåu svih Izraelovih plemena, uçinit øu zauvijek stanom svojega Imena. 8 Neøu viæe dati da se noge Izraelove maknu iz zemlje koju sam dao njihovim oçevima, ako samo budu pazili na to da vjerno çine onako kako sam im zapovjedio, i to toçno po zakonu

Josiah was eight years old when he be came king, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jedidah the daughter of Adaiah of Bozkath. 2 And he did what was right in the sight of the LORD, and walked in all the ways of his father David; he did not turn aside to the right hand or to the left. 3 Now it happened, in the eighteenth year of King Josiah, that the king sent Shaphan the scribe, the son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, to the house of the LORD, saying: 4 Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, that he may count the money which has been brought into the house of the LORD, which the doorkeepers have gathered from

Josija je imao osam godina, kad je postao kralj. Vladao je trideset i jednu godinu u Jeruzalemu. Njegova majka zvala se Jedida i bila je køi Adajina iz Boskata. 2 Çinio je ono æto je bilo pravo u oçima Gospodina, i hodio je posve putom svojega djeda Davida. Nije odstupio od toga ni nalijevo ni nadesno. 3 I dogodilo se u osamnaestoj godini kraljevanja Josijina poslao je kralj pisara Æafana, sina Azalijina, sina Meæulamova, u Gospodinov dom s ovom zapovijedi: 4 “Idi gore k velikom sveøeniku Hilkiji!

In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his vassal for three years. Then he turned and rebelled against him. 2 And the LORD sent against him raiding bands of Chaldeans, bands of Syrians, bands of Moabites, and bands of the sons of Ammon; he sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of the LORD which he had spoken by his servants the prophets. 3 Surely at the commandment of the LORD this came upon Judah, to remove them from his sight because of the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he had done, 4 and also because of the innocent blood that he had shed; for he had filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, which the LORD would not pardon. 5 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 6 So Jehoiakim rested with his fathers. Then Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place. 7 And the king of Egypt did not come out of his land anymore, for the king of Babylon had taken all that belonged to the king of Egypt from the Brook of Egypt to the River Euphrates. 8 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. His mother’s name was Nehushta the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem. 9 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father had done. 10 At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against Jerusalem, and the city was besieged. 11 And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came against the city, as his servants were besieging it. 12 Then Jehoiachin king of Judah, his mother, his servants, his princes, and his officers went out to the king of Babylon; and the king of Babylon, in the eighth year of his reign, took him prisoner. 13 And he carried out from there all the treasures of the house of the LORD and the treasures of the king’s house, and he cut in pieces all the articles of gold which Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of the LORD, as the LORD had said. 14 Also he carried into captivity all Jerusalem: all the captains and all the mighty men of valor, ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and smiths. None remained except the poorest people of the land. 15 And he carried Jehoiachin captive to Babylon. The king’s mother, the king’s wives, his officers, and the mighty of the land he carried into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon. 16 All the valiant men, seven thousand, and craftsmen and smiths, one thousand, all who were strong and fit for war, these the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon.

Jojakim, Joahin. Ropstvo babilonsko

Za njegova vremena doæao je Nebukadnezar, babilonski kralj. Jojakim mu je postao podloœan za tri godine, potom je opet otpao od njega. 2 Gospodin je poslao protiv njega kaldejske pljaçkaæke grupe, sirijske, moapske i grupe Amonaca. Poslao ih protiv Jude da ga uniæte po prijetnji Gospodinovoj, koju je bio dao objaviti preko svojih sluga, proroka. 3 Samo po zapovijedi Gospodinovoj pao je to na Judu, da ga odbaci od svojega lica zbog grijeha Manasehovih, zbog svega onoga æto je taj bio uçinio. 4 I neduœnu krv koju je bio prolio, i æto je Jeruzalem upravo napunio neduœnom krvi, to mu nije htio Gospodin oprostiti. 5 Ostala djela Jojakimova i sve æto je poduzimao, nije li to napisano u knjizi ljetopisa Judinih kraljeva? 6 Kad je Jojakim bio poçinuo kod svojih otaca, namjesto njega kraljevao je njegov sin Jojakin. 7 Egipatski kralj nije viæe izaæao iz svoje zemlje, jer je bio babilonski kralj osvojio sve æto je pripadalo egipatskom kralju, od egipatskoga potoka do Eufrata. 8 Jojakin je imao osamnaest godina kad je postao kralj, i vladao je tri mjeseca u Jeruzalemu.

Now it happened in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his army came against Jerusalem and encamped against it; and they built a siege wall against it all around. 2 So the city was besieged until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah. 3 By the ninth day of the fourth month the famine had become so severe in the city that there was no food for the people of the land. 4 Then the city wall was broken through, and all the men of war fled at night by way of the gate between two walls, which was by the king’s garden, even though the Chaldeans were still encamped all around against the city. And the king went by way of the plain. 5 But the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king, and they overtook him in the plains of Jericho. All his army was scattered from him. 6 So they took the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah, and they pronounced judgment on him. 7 Then they killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, put out the eyes of Zedekiah, bound him with bronze fetters, and took him to Babylon. 8 Now in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month (which was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon), Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem. 9 He burned the house of the LORD and the king’s house; all the houses of Jerusalem, that is, all the houses of the great men, he burned with fire. 10 And all the army of the Chaldeans who were with the captain of the guard broke down the walls of Jerusalem all around. 11 Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive the rest of the people who remained in the city and the defectors who had deserted to the king of Babylon, with the rest of the multitude. 12 But the captain of the guard left some of the poor of the land as vinedressers and farmers. 13 The bronze pillars that were in the house of the LORD, and the carts and the bronze Sea that were in the house of the LORD, the Chaldeans broke in pieces, and carried their bronze to Babylon. 14 They also took away the pots, the shovels, the trimmers, the spoons, and all the bronze utensils with which the priests ministered. 15 The firepans and the basins, the things made of solid gold and solid silver, the captain of the guard took away. 16 The two pillars, one Sea, and the carts, which Solomon had made for the house of the LORD, the bronze of all these articles was beyond measure.

Razorenje Jeruzalema

Dogodilo se u devetoj godini njegova vladanja, u desetom mjesecu, desetoga dana u mjesecu, poæao je Nebukadnezar, babilonski kralj, sa svojom cijelom vojskom protiv Jeruzalema, opkoli ga i sagradili su opkope oko njega. 2 Grad je ostao opkoljen do jedanaeste godine kraljevanja Zedekijina. 3 Devetoga dana u mjesecu bila je glad u gradu i postala tako teæka da narod zemlje nije viæe imao æto jesti. 4 Onda je bio zid gradski provaljen, i svi su vojnici noøu pobjegli na vrata izmeåu dva zida uz kraljev vrt, a Kaldejci su drœali grad opkoljen. A kralj je okrenuo prema jordanskoj ravnici . 5 Ali je kaldejske vojska potjerala kralja i stigla ga u jerihonskom polju, poæto ga je bila ostavila sva njegova vojska i razbjeœala se. 6 Uhvatili su kralja i doveli ga babilonskom kralju u Riblu. On mu je izrekao presudu. 7 Zedekijine sinove su poklali na njegove oçi, Zedekiju je on oslijepio, stavio ga u mjedene verige i tako su ga odvesti u Babilon. 8 Sedmoga dana petoga mjeseca, to jest u devetnaestoj godini kraljevanja Nebukadnezara, babilonskog kralja, doæao u Jeruzalem Nebuzaradan, zapovjednik tjelesne straœe, sluga babilonskog kralja. 9 On je popalio Gospodinov dom i kraljevski dvor i sve kuøe u Jeruzalemu, sve znamenitije zgrade dao je spaliti. 10 Zidove je ruæila kaldejska vojska koja je stajala pod zapovjednikom tjelesne straœe. 11 Onda Nebuzaradan, zapovjednik tjelesne straœe, odveo u Babilon ostatak naroda koji je joæ bio preostao u gradu, tako su isto prebjegli koji su bili prebjegli babilonskom kralju, i ostatak obrtnika. 12 Od malih ljudi u zemlji ostavio je zapovjednik tjelesne straœe jedan dio kao vinogradare i poljodjelce. 13 Mjedene stupove u Gospodinovu domu, podnoœja i mjedeno more u Gospodinovu domu razbili su Kaldejci i njihov mjed uzeli sobom u Babilon. 14 I lonce, lopate, noœeve, vrçeve, sve mjedeno posuåe, kojim se obavljala sluœba, su uzeli sobom. 15 I pepeljare i ækropionice, koje su bile ili posve od zlata ili posve od srebra, uzeo sebi zapovjednik tjelesne straœe. 16 Oba stupa, jedno more i podnoœja, koja je Salomon bio dao napraviti za Gospodinov dom, mjedi svega toga posuåa nije bilo mjere. 17 Jedan stup bio je visok osamnaest lakata. Odozgor na njemu bilo je oglavlje mjedeno.

So all Israel was recorded by genealogies, and indeed, they were inscribed in the book of the kings of Israel. But Judah was carried away captive to Babylon because of their unfaithfulness. 2 And the first inhabitants who dwelt in their possessions in their cities were Israelites, priests, Levites, and the Nethinim. 3 Now in Jerusalem the sons of Judah dwelt, and some of the sons of Benjamin, and of the sons of Ephraim and Manasseh: 4 Uthai the son of Ammihud, the son of Omri, the son of Imri, the son of Bani, of the descendants of Perez, the son of Judah. 5 Of the Shilonites: Asaiah the firstborn and his sons. 6 Of the sons of Zerah: Jeuel, and their brethren– six hundred and ninety. 7 Of the sons of Benjamin: Sallu the son of Meshullam, the son of Hodaviah, the son of Hassenuah;

Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell slain on Mount Gilboa. 2 Then the Philistines followed hard after Saul and his sons. And the Philistines killed Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua, Saul’s sons. 3 The battle became intense against Saul; and the archers hit him, and he was wounded by the archers. 4 Then Saul said to his armorbearer, “Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised men come and abuse me.” But his armorbearer would not, for he was greatly afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword and fell on it. 5 And when his armorbearer saw that Saul was dead, he also fell on his sword and died. 6 So Saul and his three sons died, and all his house died together. 7 And when all the men of Israel who were in the valley saw that they had fled and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook their cities and fled; then the Philistines came and dwelt in them. 8 So it happened the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa. 9 And they stripped him and took his head and his armor, and sent word throughout the land of the Philistines to proclaim the news in the temple of their idols and among the people. 10 Then they put his armor in the temple of their gods, and fastened his head in the temple of Dagon. 11 And when all Jabesh Gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul, 12 all the valiant men arose and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons; and they brought them to Jabesh, and buried their bones under the tamarisk tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days. 13 So Saul died for his unfaithfulness which he had committed against the LORD, because he did not keep the word of the LORD, and also because he consulted a medium for guidance.

Smrt Saulova u boju s Filistejcima

Izmeåu Izraelaca i Filistejaca bilo je doælo do boja. A Izraelovi ljudi su pobjegli ispred Filistejaca i padali mrtvi na gori Gilboi. 2 Filistejci su natisnuli za Saulom i njegovim sinovima. Pritom su Filistejci pogubili Jonatana, Abinadaba, Malki- Æuu, Saulove sinove. 3 I za Saula postao boj veoma teœak. Napokon ga stigli strijelci, i on je pao ranjen od strijelaca. 4 Onda je zapovjedio Saul svojem nositelju oruœja: “Izvadi svoj maç i probodi me, da ne doåu ti neznaboæci i narugaju mi se!” Ali njegov nositelj oruœja, nije to htio, jer se jako bojao. I tako je Saul sam uzeo maç i bacio se na njega. 5 Kad je njegov nositelj oruœja, vidio gdje je umro Saul, bacio se i on na svoj maç i umro. 6 Tako je Saul poginuo sa svoja tri sina, i sva je njegova kuøa poginula zajedno. 7 A kad su Izraelovi ljudi, koji su stanovali u ravnici, vidjeli su gdje su pobjegli oni i gdje su Saul i njegovi sinovi poginuli, ostavili su svoje gradove i nagnuli u bijeg. I doæli su Filistejci i naselili se u njima. 8 Dogodilo se sutradan, kad su doæli Filistejci da opljaçkaju pobijene, naæli su Saula i tri njegova sina gdje leœe na gori Gilboi. 9 Oplijenili su ga i uzeli su sobom njegovu glavu i njegovo oruœje. Onda su poslali po zemlji Filistejaca unaokolo da jave svojim idolima i narodu vijest o pobjedi. 10 Njegovo oruœje stavili su u hram svojega boga, a glavu mu objesili na Dagonovu hramu. 11 A kad su çuli svi stanovnici Jabeæa u Gileadu sve æto su Filistejci uçinili od Saula, 12 podigli se svi naoruœani i uzeli su Saulovo tijelo i tjelesa njegovih sinova. Donijeli su ih u Jabeæ, pokopali su kosti njihove pod terebintom u Jabeæu, i postili su sedam dana. 13 Tako je poginuo Saul zbog prijestupa koja je bio poçinio protiv Gospodina, jer nije drœao zapovijedi Gospodinove i jer je bio pitao duh mrt-

Then all Israel came together to David at Hebron, saying, “Indeed we are your bone and your flesh. 2 Also, in time past, even when Saul was king, you were the one who led Israel out and brought them in; and the LORD your God said to you, ‘You shall shepherd my people Israel, and be ruler over my people Israel.’ ” 3 Therefore all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and David made a covenant with them at Hebron before the LORD. Then they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD by Samuel. 4 And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus, where the Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land. 5 Then the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, “You shall not come in here.” Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion (that is, the City of David). 6 Now David said, “Whoever attacks the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain.” And Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, and became chief. 7 Then David dwelt in the stronghold; therefore they called it the City of David. 8 And he built the city around it, from the Millo to the surrounding area. Joab repaired the rest of the city. 9 Then David went on and became great, and the LORD of hosts was with him. 10 Now these were the heads of the mighty men whom David had, who strengthened themselves with him in his kingdom, with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of the LORD concerning Israel. 11 And this is the number of the mighty men whom David had: Jashobeam the son of a Hachmonite, chief of the captains; he had lifted up his spear against three hundred, killed by him at one time. 12 After him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighty men. 13 He was with David at Pasdammim. Now there the Philistines were gathered for battle, and there was a piece of ground full of barley. And the people fled from the Philistines. 14 But they stationed themselves in the midst of that field, defended it, and killed the Philistines. And the LORD saved them by a great deliverance. 15 Now three of the thirty chief men went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam; and the army of the Philistines encamped in the Valley of Rephaim. 16 David was then in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem. 17 And David said with longing, “Oh, that someone would give me a drink of water from the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!” 18 So the three broke through the camp of the Philistines, drew water from the well of Bethlehem that was by the gate, and took it and brought it to David. Nevertheless David would not drink it, but poured it out to the LORD. 19 And he said, “Far be it from me, O my God, that I should do this! Shall I drink the blood of these men who have put their lives in jeopardy? For at the risk of their lives they brought it.” Therefore he would not drink it. These things were done by the three mighty men.

David pomazan za kralja, osvaja Jeruzalem

Svi Izraelovi sinovi skupili se kod Davida u Hebronu, govoreøi: “Evo, mi smo od tvojega mesa i od tvoje krvi. 2 Veø prije, kad je joæ Saul bio kralj, ti si bio onaj, koji je u boj odvodio i opet kuøi dovodio Izraela. Tebi je obeøao Gospodin, tvoj Bog: ‘Ti øeæ pasti moj narod Izraela, i ti øeæ biti vladar nad mojim narodom Izraelom.’ ” 3 Kad su se tako naæle kod kralja u Hebronu sve starjeæine Izraelaca, zakljuçio David s njima u Hebronu pred Gospodinom savez. Onda su pomazali Davida za kralja nad Izraelom po zapovijedi Gospodinovoj, koji je bio iziæao preko Samuela. 4 Jednoga dana otiæao David sa svim Izraelom u Jeruzalem, to jest Jebus, gdje su bili Jebusejci, koji su œivjeli u onoj zemlji. 5 Stanovnici u Jebusu rekli su Davidu: “Neøeæ uøi ovamo.” Ipak je David osvojio tvråavu Sion, to je kasniji Davidov grad. 6 Onda je rekao David: “Tko prvi nadvlada Jebusejce, bit øe vrhovni zapovjednik vojske.” Joab, sin Serujin, uzaæao je prvi i postao vrhovni zapovjednik. 7 Tada se David nastanio u tvråavi. Zato su ga nazvali Davidovim gradom. 8 On je sazidao grad unaokolo od Mila do obzida. Joab je popravio ostali grad. 9 Sve je viæe rasla moø Davidova, jer je Gospodin vojska bio s njim. 10 Ovo su çelovoåe Davidovih junaka, koji su se vjerno drœali s njim za njegova kraljevanja nad Izraelom i pomogli mu da bude kralj Izraelu po obeøanju Gospodinovu. 11 Ovo je popis junaka Davidovih: Jaæobam, sin Hakmonijev, çelovoåa trojici. On je zavitlao svoje koplje na tri stotine i pobio ih odjedanput. 12 Za njim je dolazio izmeåu ta tri junaka Ahoæanin Eleazar, sin Dodov. 13 On je bio s Davidom u Pas-Damimu. Ondje se skupili Filistejci na boj, a ondje je bio komad zemlje s jeçmom. Tako su ljudi pobjegli od Filistejaca. 14 Ali su oni stali usred polja, obranili ga i pobili Filistejce. Tako ih je Gospodin spasio velikom pobjedom. 15 Jedanput su trojica izmeåu tridesetorice otiæli dolje do hridi, k Davidu u æpilju Adulam, kad je vojska Filistejaca taborila u dolini Refaimovoj. 16 David je bio upravo u tvråavi, a u Betlehemu je onda bila filistejska straœa. 17 I kad je David zaœelio: “Tko bi mi donio vode da pijem iz studenca na vratima Betlehema?” 18 Onda su ona tri junaka prodrli kroz tabor Filistejaca, zahvatili vode iz studenca na vratima Betlehema i donijeli su ju Davidu, ali on ju nije htio piti, nego ju prolio Gospodinu u çast, 19 govoreøi: “Ne daj mi, Gospodine, da takvo æto uçinim! Zar da pijem krv tih ljudi, koji su prodrli ondje uz opasnost svojih œivota? Jer su ju donijeli ne mareøi za svoj œivot.” Zato je nije htio piti. To su uçinili ta tri junaka. 20 Abiæaj, brat Joabov, bio je çelovoåa tridesetorici. On je zavitlao svoje koplje na tri stotine i pobio ih. Bio je ugledan kod trojice.

Then David consulted with the captains of thousands and hundreds, and with every leader. 2 And David said to all the congregation of Israel, “If it seems good to you, and if it is of the LORD our God, let us send out to our brethren everywhere who are left in all the land of Israel, and with them to the priests and Levites who are in their cities and their pasturelands, that they may gather together to us; 3 and let us bring the Ark of our God back to us, for we have not inquired at it since the days of Saul.” 4 Then all the congregation said that they would do so, for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people. 5 So David gathered all Israel together, from Shihor in Egypt to as far as the entrance of Hamath, to bring the Ark of God from Kirjath-Jearim. 6 And David and all Israel went up to Baalah, to Kirjath-Jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up from there the Ark of God the LORD, who dwells between the cherubim, where his name is proclaimed. 7 So they carried the Ark of God on a new cart from the house of Abinadab, and Uzza and Ahio drove the cart. 8 Then David and all Israel played music before God with all their might, with singing, on harps, on stringed instruments, on tambourines, on cymbals, and with trumpets. 9 And when they came to Chidon’s threshing floor, Uzza put out his hand to hold the Ark, for the oxen stumbled. 10 Then the anger of the LORD was aroused against Uzza, and he struck him because he put his hand to the Ark; and he died there before God. 11 And David became angry because of the Lord’s outbreak against Uzza; therefore that place is called Perez Uzza to this day.

Prijenos zavjetne ækrinje

Onda se posvjetovao David s tisuønicima i sa stotnicima i sa svim çelnicima. 2 Nato je rekao David svemu Izraelovu narodu: “Ako je vama pravo i ako je volja Gospodina, naæega Boga, onda øemo poslati k svojoj ostaloj braøi po svim Izraelovim krajevima i k sveøenicima i Levitima u gradovima, gdje su njihovi paænjaci, da se naåu kod nas, 3 pa da donesemo k sebi ækrinju svojega Boga, jer se za vladanja Saulova nismo brinuli za nju.” 4 Onda se sva zajednica s time suglasila da se to uçini, jer je taj prijedlog bio po volji svemu narodu. 5 I tako David skupio sav Izraelov narod od Æihora na putu u Egipat do glavnog puta u Hamat, da donesu Boœju ækrinju iz Kirjat-Jearima. 6 Potom otiæao David sa svim Izraelom u Baalu, to jest Kirjat-Jearim æto pripada Judi, da odatle prenesu Boœju ækrinju, koja nosi ime: “Gospodin, koji vlada nad kerubinima”. 7 Stavili su Boœju ækrinju na nova kola i povezli ju iz kuøe Abinadabove. Uza i Ahio vodili su kola. 8 David i svi Izraelovi sinovi plesali su puni revnosti pred Bogom, i pjevali su pjesme uz pratnju citara, harfa, bubnjeva, zvonçiøa i cimbala. 9 Kad su doæli do gumna Kidonova, pruœio je Uza svoju ruku da pridrœi ækrinju, jer su volovi povukli na stranu. 10 Onda se raspalila srdœba Gospodinova na Uzu i udario ga ondje, jer se bio rukom dotaknuo ækrinje. On je umro ondje pred Bogom. 11 David se vrlo oœalostio æto je Gospodin ubi Uzu. Zato se nazvalo ono mjesto Perez Uza do danaænjega dana.

David built houses for himself in the City of David; and he prepared a place for the Ark of God, and pitched a tent for it. 2 Then David said, “No one may carry the Ark of God but the Levites, for the LORD has chosen them to carry the Ark of God and to minister before him forever.” 3 And David gathered all Israel together at Jerusalem, to bring up the Ark of the LORD to its place, which he had prepared for it. 4 Then David assembled the sons of Aaron and the Levites: 5 of the sons of Kohath, Uriel the chief, and one hundred and twenty of his brethren; 6 of the sons of Merari, Asaiah the chief, and two hundred and twenty of his brethren;

Potom je David dao sebi sagraditi kuøe u Davidovu gradu, pripremio je mjesto za Boœju ækrinju i razapeo joj æator. 2 Onda je zapovjedio David da nitko ne smije nositi Boœju ækrinju osim Levita, jer je njih izabrao Gospodin da nose Boœju ækrinju i da mu sluœe uvijek. 3 I dozvao David sve Izraelove sinove u Jeruzalem da prenesu Gospodinovu ækrinju na mjesto koje joj je bio spremio. 4 I tako skupi David Aronove sinove i Levite: 5 od Kohatovih sinova glavara Joela i stotinu i dvadeset njegove braøe; 6 od Merarijevih sinova glavara Asaju i dvjesta i dvadeset njegove braøe:

So they brought the Ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tabernacle that David had erected for it. Then they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before God. 2 And when David had finished offering the burnt offerings and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD. 3 Then he distributed to everyone of Israel, both man and woman, to everyone a loaf of bread, a piece of meat, and a cake of raisins. 4 And he appointed some of the Levites to minister before the Ark of the LORD, to commemorate, to thank, and to praise the LORD God of Israel: 5 Asaph the chief, and next to him Zechariah, then Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, and Obed-Edom: Jeiel with stringed instruments and harps, but Asaph made music with cymbals; 6 Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests regularly blew the trumpets before the Ark of the covenant of God. 7 And on that day David first delivered this psalm into the hand of Asaph and his brethren, to thank the LORD: 8 Oh, give thanks to the LORD! Call upon his name; make known his deeds among the peoples! 9 Sing to him, sing psalms to him; talk of all his wondrous works! 10 Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those rejoice who seek the LORD! 11 Seek the LORD and his strength; seek his face evermore! 12 Remember his marvelous works which he has done, his wonders and the judgments of his mouth, 13 O seed of Israel his servant, you sons of Jacob, his chosen ones! 14 He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth. 15 Remember his covenant always, the word which he commanded, for a thousand generations, 16 the covenant which he made with Abraham, and his oath to Isaac, 17 and confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, to Israel for an everlasting covenant, 18 saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan as the allotment of your inheritance,” 19 When you were but few in number, indeed very few, and strangers in it. 20 When they went from one nation to another, and from one kingdom to another people, 21 He permitted no man to do them wrong; yes, he reproved kings for their sakes, 22 saying, “Do not touch my anointed ones, and do my prophets no harm.” 23 Sing to the LORD, all the earth; proclaim the good news of his salvation from day to day. 24 Declare his glory among the nations, his wonders among all peoples. 25 For the LORD is great and greatly to be praised; he is also to be feared above all gods. 26 For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but the LORD made the heavens. 27 Honor and majesty are before him; strength and gladness are in his place. 28 Give to the LORD, O kindreds of the peoples, give to the LORD glory and strength. 29 Give to the LORD the glory due his name; bring an offering, and come before him. oh, worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness! 30 Tremble before him, all the earth. the world also is firmly established, it shall not be moved.

Davidov hvalospjev. Propis sluœbe Boœje

I tako su bili unijeli Boœju ækrinju i namjestili ju u æatoru kojega je bio David podigao za njega, prinijeli su pred Bogom œrtve paljenice i œrtve mirotvorne. 2 Kad je prenio David œrtve paljenice i œrtve mirotvorne, blagoslovio je narod u Ime Gospodina. 3 Onda je razdijelio svim Izraelcima, ljudima i œenama, svakomu po jedan kruh, po komad mesa i kolaç od groœåa. 4 Potom je postavio neke Levite da sluœe kod Gospodinove ækrinje. Oni su morali prinositi Gospodinu, Bogu Izraelovu, hvalu, çast i slavu: 5 Asaf kao glavar i Zaharija kao drugi u redu za njim, onda Jeiel, Æemiramot, Jehiel, Matitja, Eliab, Benaja, Obed-Edom i Jeiel sa svojim glazbalima, harfama i citrama, Asaf je imao udarati u cimbale; 6 Sveøenici Benaja i Jahaziel redovito su trubili u trube pred ækrinjom Boœjega zavjeta. 7 Na taj dan David je prvi put dao Asafu i njegovoj braøi, psalam hvale Gospodinu: 8 “Hvalite Gospodina! Zazivajte njegovo Ime; javljajte narodima njegova djela! 9 Pjevajte mu psalme; svirajte mu; navjeæøujte sva njegova çudesa! 10 Hvalite se njegovim svetim imenom! Neka se veseli srce onih, koji traœe Gospodina! 11 Traœite Gospodina i njegovu slavu; traœite uvijek njegovo lice! 12 Spominjite se njegovih çudesa, koja je uçinio, znakova njegovih, presuda njegovih usta! 13 O sjeme Izraela, njegova sluge, sinovi Jakova njegova odabranika! 14 On, Gospodin, nama je Bog; u sav svijet idu presude njegove. 15 Svojega zavjeta on se vjeçno sjeøa, rijeçi, koju je dao za tisuøu naraætaja, 16 Zavjeta koji je napravio s Abrahamom, i svoje zakletve Izaku. 17 To je postavio Jakovu za zakon, za vjeçni zavjet Izraelu, 18 govoreøi: ‘Kanaan øu dati tebi kao vaæe baætinsko uœe!’ 19 Onda ste joæ bili brojem maleni, bilo vas samo malo i doæljaci u njemu. 20 Joæ ste iæli od naroda do naroda, od jednoga kraljevstva do drugoga. 21 Ali on nije dao, da im se naudi. Zbog njih uputio kraljeve, govoreøi: 22 ‘Ne dirajte u moje pomazanike, mojim prorocima ne uçinite niæta na œao!’ 23 Pjevajte tako Gospodinu, sve zemlje! Iz dana u dana navjeæøujete njegovo spasenje! 24 Navjeæøujte narodima njegovu slavu, svakomu puku njegova çudesa! 25 Jer je velik Gospodin i veoma dostojan hvale, strahovit iznad svih bogova. 26 Jer su svi bogovi u narodima idoli, a Gospodin je stvorio nebesa. 27 Slava je i veliçanstvo pred njim, sila i radost u svetiætu njegovu. 28 I dajte Gospodinu, plemena naroda, dajte Gospodinu slavu i çast! 29 Dajte Gospodinu slavu prema Imenu njegovu; prinosite darove, dolazite pred njegovo lice; poklonite se Gospodinu u svetomu nakitu! 30 Neka strepi pred njim sav svijet!

Now it happened, when David was dwelling in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, “See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the Ark of the covenant of the LORD is under tent curtains.” 2 Then Nathan said to David, “Do all that is in your heart, for God is with you.” 3 But it happened that night that the word of God came to Nathan, saying, 4 “Go and tell my servant David, ‘Thus says the LORD: You shall not build me a house to dwell in. 5 For I have not dwelt in a house since the time that I brought up Israel, even to this day, but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another. 6 Wherever I have moved about with all Israel, have I ever spoken a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd my people, saying, ‘Why have you not built me a house of cedar?’ 7 Now therefore, thus shall you say to my servant David, ‘Thus says the LORD of hosts: I took you from the sheepfold, from following the sheep, that you should be ruler over my people Israel. 8 And I have been with you wherever you have gone, and have cut off all your enemies from before you, and have made you a name like the name of the great men who are on the earth. 9 Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own and move no more; nor shall the sons of wickedness oppress them anymore, as previously,

David hoøe graditi dom i dobiva obeøanja

Dogodilo se kad se David bio uselio u svoj dvor, rekao je David proroku Natanu: “Evo, ja stojim u kuøi od cedra, a ækrinja Gospodinova zavjeta stoji pod æatorskim krovom.” 2 Natan je odgovorio Davidu: “Izvedi sve æto ti je u srcu, jer je Gospodin s tobom.” 3 Ali joæ u istoj noøi doæla je rijeç Gospodinova Natanu: 4 “Idi, kaœi mojem sluzi Davidu: ‘Ovako govori Gospodin: Neøeæ mi ti graditi kuøu da u njoj prebivam.’ 5 Je ja nisam nikada stanovao u kuøi odonda, otkada sam izveo Izraelove sinove do danaænjega dana. Dapaçe ja sam putovao od jednoga æatora i boraviæta do drugoga. 6 Jesam li, dok sam sa svim Izraelom hodio okolo, komu od sudaca Izraelovih, zapovjedio, da pasu moj narod Izraela, ikada jednu rijeç rekao: ‘Zaæto mi niste sagradili kuøu od cedra?’ 7 Zato kaœi sada mojem sluzi Davidu: ‘Ovako govori Gospodin vojska: Ja sam te uzeo s paæe iz stada, da budeæ vladar mojem narodu Izraelu. 8 Bio sam s tobom kod svega æto si poduzimao, i uniætio sam ispred tebe sve tvoje neprijatelje.

After this it happened that David attacked the Philistines, subdued them, and took Gath and its towns from the hand of the Philistines. 2 Then he defeated Moab, and the Moabites became David’s servants, and brought tribute. 3 And David defeated Hadadezer king of Zobah as far as Hamath, as he went to establish his power by the River Euphrates. 4 David took from him one thousand chariots, seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand foot sol-

Now it happened after this that Nahash the king of the sons of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his place. 2 Then David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. And the servants of David came to Hanun in the land of the sons of Ammon to comfort him. 3 And the princes of the sons of Ammon said to Hanun, “Do you think that David really honors your father because he has sent comforters to you? Did his servants not come to you to search and to overthrow and to spy out the land?” 4 Therefore Hanun took David’s servants, shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle, at their buttocks, and sent them away. 5 Then some went and told David about the men; and he sent to meet them, because the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, “Wait at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return.” 6 When the sons of Ammon saw that they had made themselves repulsive to David, Hanun and the sons of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire for themselves chariots and horsemen from Mesopota-

Davidova osveta nad Amoncima

Poslije toga umro je Nahaæ, amonski kralj. Njegov sin uzaæao namjesto njega na prijestolje. 2 David je pomislio: “Imat øu prijateljske odnose s Hanunom, sinom Nahaæovim, jer je i njegov otac stajao sa mnom u dobrom dogovoru.” I tako poslao David poslanike i dao mu izreøi svoju suøut zbog njegova oca. Kad su Davidovi poslanici su doæli Hanunu u zemlju Amonaca, da mu izreknu suøut. 3 Glavari Amonaca rekli su Hanunu: “Misliæ li da David hoøe poçastiti tvojega oca kad ti æalje poslanike da te utjeæe? Dapaçe njegovi poslanici doæli su k tebi samo zato da razgledaju zemlju, da je uhode i onda opustoæe.” 4 Onda je dao Hanun Davidove poslanike uhvatiti, obrijati ih i odsjeøi im haljine dopola sve do bokova, i tako ih otpremio. 5 Kad su to javili Davidu, poslao im u susret glasnike, jer su ljudi bili teæko pogråeni. Kralj im poruçi: “Ostanite u Jerihonu dok vam opet naraste brada; onda doåite kuøi!” 6 Kad su Amonci uvidjeli da su se omrazili s Davidom, poslali su Hanun i Amonci tisuøu ta-

A Sirijci su se çuvali da David and became his servants. So the Syrians were ubuduøe viæe ne pomaœu Amonovim sinovima. not willing to help the sons of Ammon anymore.

And it happened, in the spring of the year, at the time kings go out to battle, that Joab led out the armed forces and ravaged the country of the sons of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem. And Joab defeated Rabbah and overthrew it. 2 Then David took their king’s crown from his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there were precious stones in it. And it was set on David’s head. Also he brought out the spoil of the city in great abundance. 3 And he brought out the people who were in it, and put them to work with saws, with iron picks, and with axes. So David did to all the cities of the sons of Ammon. Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem. 4 Now it happened afterward that war broke out at Gezer with the Philistines, at which time Sibbechai the Hushathite killed Sippai, who was one of the sons of the giant. And they were subdued. 5 Again there was war with the Philistines, and El-

Kad je Joab bio osvojio i razorio Rabu. 2 Onda je uzeo David njihovu kralju krunu s glave, koja je imala prema procjeni vrijednost od jednog talenta na zlatu i na dragom kamenju æto je bilo u njoj, i pristajala je Davidovoj glavi. On je odnio iz grada vrlo bogat plijen. 3 Narod koji je stanovao u njemu, dao je odvesti, staviti ga na pile, na œeljezne brane i sjekire. Tako isto je uçinio David sa svim ostalim gradovima Amonaca. Onda se vratio David sa svom vojskom u Jeruzalem. 4 Potom je u Gezeru opet doælo do boja s Filistejcima. Pritom Huæanin Sibekaj ubio Sipaja, koji je pripadao rodu divova. Tako su bili oni pokoreni. 5 Kad je onda opet doælo do boja s Filistejcima,

Now Satan stood up against Israel, and moved David to number Israel. 2 So David said to Joab and to the leaders of the people, “Go, number Israel from Beer-Sheba to Dan, and bring the number of them to me that I may know it.” 3 And Joab answered, “May the LORD make his people a hundred times more than they are. But, my lord the king, are they not all my lord’s servants? Why then does my lord require this thing? Why should he be a cause of guilt in Israel?” 4 Nevertheless the king’s word prevailed against Joab. Therefore Joab departed and went throughout all Israel and came to Jerusalem. 5 Then Joab gave the sum of the number of the people to David. All Israel had one million one hundred thousand men who drew the sword, and Judah had four hundred and seventy thousand men who drew the sword. 6 But he did not count Levi and Benjamin among them, for the king’s word was abominable to Joab. 7 And God was displeased with this thing; therefore he struck Israel. 8 So David said to God, “I have sinned greatly, because I have done this thing; but now, I pray, take away the iniquity of your servant, for I have done very foolishly.” 9 And the LORD spoke to Gad, David’s seer, saying, 10 Go and tell David, saying, ‘Thus says the LORD: “I offer you three things; choose one of them for yourself, that I may do it to you.” ’ ” 11 So Gad came to David and said to him, “Thus says the LORD: ‘Choose for yourself, 12 either three years of famine, or three months to be defeated by your foes with the sword of your enemies overtaking you, or else for three days the sword of the LORD–the plague in the land, with the angel of the LORD destroying throughout all the territory of Israel.’ Now consider what answer I should take back to him who sent me.” 13 And David said to Gad, “I am in great distress. Please let me fall into the hand of the LORD, for his mercies are very great; but do not let me fall into the hand of man.” 14 So the LORD sent a plague upon Israel, and seventy thousand men of Israel fell. 15 And God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it. As he was destroying, the LORD looked and relented of the disaster, and said to the angel who was destroying, “It is enough; now restrain your hand.” And the angel of the LORD stood by the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite. 16 Then David lifted his eyes and saw the angel of the LORD standing between earth and heaven, having in his hand a drawn sword stretched out over Jerusalem. So David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell on their faces. 17 And David said to God, “Was it not I who commanded the people to be numbered? I am the one who has sinned and done evil indeed; but these

Bog kazni oholost Davidovu kugom

Sotona je ustao protiv Izraela i navratio Davida, da broji Izraelove sinove. 2 I tako je zapovjedio David Joabu i vojskovoåama: “Idite, izbrojte Izraelove sinove od BeerÆebe do Dana, pa mi javite da znam njihov broj!” 3 Ali Joab je rekao: “Gospodin neka bi dao da tvoj narod, koliko ga je sada, bude joæ stotinu puta toliki. A oni su svi, moj gospodaru i kralju, tebi podloœni, mojem gospodaru. Zaæto moj gospodar takvo æto hoøe? Zaæto da se okrivi Izrael takvim grijehom?” 4 Ali je kraljeva zapovijed primorala Joaba. I tako se Joab podignuo na put i obiæao sav Izrael i opet se vratio u Jeruzalem. 5 Onda je Joab priopøio Davidu broj popisanoga naroda. I bilo je svega Izraelova naroda milijun i stotinu tisuøa teæko naoruœanih ljudi , a naroda Judina çetiri stotine i sedamdeset tisuøa ljudi teæko naoruœanih. 6 Plemena Levijeva i Benjaminova nije bio s njima izbrojio, jer je Joabu bila mrska kraljeva zapovijed. 7 Kako ta stvar nije bila mila Bogu, zato je udario Izraela. 8 David se doduæe bio pomolio Bogu: “Teæko sam sagrijeæio æto sam to uçinio, ali oduzmi svojem sluzi krivnju njegovih zlodjela, jer sam bio posve zaslijepljen!” 9 A Gospodin je zapovjedio Gadu, vidiocu Davidovu: 10 “Idi i kaœi Davidu: ‘Ovako govori Gospodin: Troje ti predlaœem; izaberi si jedno od toga, da ti uçinim!’ ” 11 Gad je poæao k Davidu i navijestio mu: “Ovako govori Gospodin: ‘Biraj sebi, 12 ili tri godine gladi ili tri mjeseca bijega pred svojim neprijateljima, a pritom da te stigne maç tvojih neprijatelja, ili tri dana maç Gospodinov, kuga u zemlji, a pritom da anåeo Gospodinov ubija po svim Izraelovim krajevima. Sad promisli æto øu odgovoriti onomu koji me poslao!’ ” 13 David je odgovorio Gadu: “U velikoj sam muci . Radije øu pasti u ruke Gospodinove, jer je njegovo milosråe veliko, a u ruke ljudima ne bih htio pasti.” 14 Tako je pustio Gospodin kugu na Izraela, te je pomrlo Izraelaca sedamdeset tisuøa ljudi. 15 I Bog je poslao anåela u Jeruzalem da ga uniæti. Kad je on ubijao u njemu, pogledao je Gospodin na njega, i saœalilo mu se zbog zla. Zato je zapovjedio anåelu koji je ubijao: “Dosta je sada, povuci natrag svoju ruku!” Anåeo Gospodinov je upravo stajao kod gumna Jebusejca Ornana. 16 Kad je David podigao svoje oçi, vidio anåela Gospodinova gdje stoji izmeåu zemlje i neba, u ruci mu goli maç, ispruœen protiv Jeruzalema.

And he went out from the threshing 20 I Ornan, kad se okrenuo, vidio anåela pa se floor, and bowed down to David with his face to the sakrili on i njegova çetiri sina.

22

Then David said, “This is the house of the LORD God, and this is the altar of burnt offering for Israel.” 2 So David commanded to gather the aliens who were in the land of Israel; and he appointed masons to cut hewn stones to build the house of God. 3 And David prepared iron in abundance for the nails of the doors of the gates and for the joints, and bronze in abundance beyond measure, 4 and cedar trees in abundance; for the Sidonians and those from Tyre brought much cedar wood to David. 5 Now David said, “Solomon my son is young and inexperienced, and the house that is to be built for the LORD must be exceedingly magnificent, famous and glorious throughout all countries. I will now make preparation for it.” So David made abundant preparations before his death. 6 Then he called for his son Solomon, and charged him to build a house for the LORD God of Israel.

Pripreme Davidove za graåenje doma

Nato je David rekao: “Ovo ovdje neka bude kuøa Boga, Gospodina, i ovo je œrtvenik za œrtve paljenice Izraela.” 2 Potom je David zapovjedio da se skupe stranci u zemlji Izraelovoj, i odredio kamenare koji øe klesati kamen za gradnju Boœjega doma. 3 I David je pripravio mnogo œeljeza za çavle za krila vrata i za sastavke, tako isto mjedi toliko da se nije moglo mjeriti. 4 Isto tako cedrovih drva bez broja, jer su Sidonci i Tirci dovozili Davidu mnogo cedrova drva. 5 David je u sebi mislio: “Moj sin Salomon mlad je i njeœan, a dom koji treba podignuti Gospodinu mora biti vrlo velik za slavu i çast po svim zemljama. Zato øu mu veø sada pripraviti æto treba.” I tako je pripravio David, joæ prije svoje smrti, veliku mnoœinu graåe.

Furthermore King David said to all the congregation: “My son Solomon, whom alone God has chosen, is young and inexperienced; and the work is great, because the temple is not for man but for the LORD God. 2 Now for the house of my God I have prepared with all my might: gold for things to be made of gold, silver for things of silver, bronze for things of bronze, iron for things of iron, wood for things of wood, onyx stones, stones to be set, glistening stones of various colors, all kinds of precious stones, and marble slabs in abundance. 3 Moreover, because I have set my affection on the house of my God, I have given to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house, my own special treasure of gold and silver: 4 three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the houses; 5 the gold for things of gold and the silver for things of silver, and for all kinds of work to be done by the hands of craftsmen. Who then is willing to consecrate himself this day to the LORD?” 6 Then the leaders of the fathers’ houses, leaders of the tribes of Israel, the captains of thousands and of hundreds, with the officers over the king’s work, offered willingly. 7 They gave for the work of the house of God five thousand talents and ten thousand darics of gold, ten thousand talents of silver, eighteen thousand talents of bronze, and one hundred thousand talents of iron. 8 And whoever had precious stones gave them to the treasury of the house of the LORD, into the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite. 9 Then the people rejoiced, for they had offered willingly, because with a loyal heart they had offered willingly to the LORD; and King David also rejoiced greatly. 10 Therefore David blessed the LORD before all the congregation; and David said: “Blessed are you, LORD God of Israel, our Father, forever and ever. 11 Yours, O LORD, is the greatness, the power and the glory, the victory and the majesty; for all that is in heaven and in earth is yours; yours is the kingdom, O LORD, and you are exalted as head over all. 12 Both riches and honor come from you, and you reign over all. In your hand is power and might; in your hand it is to make great and to give strength to all. 13 Now therefore, our God, we thank you and praise your glorious name. 14 But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly as this? For all things come from you, and of your own we have given you.

Nadalje kralj David je rekao svemu zboru: “Moj sin Salomon, koga je sam Bog izabrao, joæ je mlad i njeœan, a djelo je veliko, jer nije za çovjeka odreåen ovaj dom nego za Gospodina Boga. 2 I ja svom svojom snagom pripravio sam za dom svojega Boga zlata za zlatne posude, srebra za srebrne, mjedi za mjedene, œeljeza za œeljezne i drva za drvene, kamena oniksova i crnosjajna i æarolika kamenja za okvire i drugoga dragoga kamenja svake vrste i mramora izobilje. 3 I joæ iz ljubavi prema domu mojega Boga, povrh toga ono æto imam u vlastitom posjedu zlata i srebra dat øu, osim svega toga æto sam veø pripravio za sveti dom mojega Boga: 4 tri tisuøe zlatnih talenata od ofirskoga zlata i sedam tisuøa talenata çistoga srebra, da se tim obloœe zidovi prostorija doma, 5 i za zlatno i srebrno posuåe svake vrste i za sve radove umjetniçkih ruku. Ima li joæ tko danas spreman koji dar darovati za Gospodina?” 6 Onda su darovali dragovoljno obiteljski glavari, glavari Izraelovih plemena, tisuønici i stotnici i çinovnici u sluœbi kraljevoj. 7 Oni su dali za gradnju Boœjega doma pet tisuøa talenata zlata, deset tisuøa drahmi, deset tisuøa talenata srebra, osamnaest tisuøa talenata mjedi i stotinu tisuøa talenata œeljeza. 8 Tko je imao dragoga kamenja, predao ga za blago Gospodinova doma Geræonovcu Jehielu. 9 Narod se radovao dragovoljnim darovima, jer su poboœnim srcem dragovoljno prinosili Gospodinu svoje darove.

Then Solomon determined to build a temple for the name of the LORD, and a royal house for himself. 2 Solomon selected seventy thousand men to bear burdens, eighty thousand to quarry stone in the mountains, and three thousand six hundred to oversee them. 3 Then Solomon sent to Hiram king of Tyre, saying: As you have dealt with David my father, and sent him cedars to build himself a house to dwell in, so deal with me. 4 Behold, I am building a temple for the name of the LORD my God, to dedicate it to him, to burn before him sweet incense, for the continual showbread, for the

Now Solomon began to build the house of the LORD at Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the LORD had appeared to his father David, at the place that David had prepared on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite. 2 And he began to build on the second day of the second month in the fourth year of his reign. 3 This is the foundation which Solomon laid for building the house of God: The length was sixty cubits (by

Moreover he made a bronze altar: twenty cubits was its length, twenty cubits its width, and ten cubits its height. 2 Then he made the Sea of cast bronze, ten cubits from one brim to the other; it was completely round. Its height was five cubits, and a line of thirty cubits measured its circumference. 3 And under it was the likeness of oxen encircling it all around, ten to a cubit, all the way around the Sea. The oxen were cast in two rows, when it was cast. 4 It stood on twelve oxen: three looking toward the north, three looking toward the west, three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east; the Sea was set upon them, and all their back parts pointed inward. 5 It was a handbreadth thick; and its brim was shaped like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It contained three thousand baths. 6 He also made ten lavers, and put five on the right side and five on the left, to wash in them; such things as they offered for the burnt offering they would wash in them, but the Sea was for the priests to wash in. 7 And he made ten lampstands of gold according to their design, and set them in the temple, five on the

Tri su bila okrenuta sjever, tri na zapad, tri na jug i tri na istok. More je stajalo odozgor nad njima, a straœnja strana svih volova bila je okrenuta unutra. 5 Debljina mu je bila jedna podlanica, rub mu je bio sliçan ljiljanu kao kraj u çaæe, a primalo je dvije tisuøe bata. 6 Dalje je napravio deset umivaonica, i stavio je pet s desne strane, a pet s lijeve za pranje.

So all the work that Solomon had done for the house of the LORD was finished; and Solomon brought in all the things which his father David had dedicated: the silver and the gold and all the furnishings. And he put them in the treasuries of the house of God. 2 Now Solomon assembled the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, the chief fathers of the sons of Israel, in Jerusalem, that they might bring the Ark of the covenant of the LORD up from the City of David, which is Zion. 3 Therefore all the men of Israel assembled together with the king at the feast, which was in the seventh month. 4 So all the elders of Israel came, and the Levites took up the Ark. 5 Then they brought up the Ark, the tabernacle of meeting, and all the holy furnishings that were in the tabernacle. The priests and the Levites brought them up. 6 Also King Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel who were assembled with him before the Ark, were sacrificing sheep and oxen that could not be counted or numbered for multitude. 7 Then the priests brought in the Ark of the covenant of the LORD to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the temple, to the Most Holy Place, under the wings of the cherubim. 8 For the cherubim spread their wings over the place

Posveta doma

Tako su bili svræeni svi radovi, koje je dao kralj Salomon obaviti za Gospodinov dom. Salomon je unio posveøene darove svojega oca Davida: srebro i zlato i posuåe i stavio u riznicu Boœjega doma. 2 Onda je Salomon skupio Izraelove starjeæine i sve plemenske glavare, glavare rodova Izraelovih sinova, u Jeruzalem, da se prenese ækrinja Gospodinova zavjeta iz grada Davidova, to jest Siona. 3 I tako su se skupili kod kralja svi Izraelovi ljudi na svetkovinu æto je u sedmom mjesecu. 4 Tako se sastale sve starjeæine Izraelove, i Leviti su podigli ækrinju. 5 Onda su prenijeli ækrinju, æator sastanka i sve sveto posuåe koje je bilo u æatoru. Sveøenici i Leviti su ga prenijeli. 6 Pritom su œrtvovali kralj Salomon i sva Izraelova zajednica, koja se bila naæla kod njega pred ækrinjom, toliko ovaca i goveda da ih se zbog njihova mnoætva nije moglo izbrojiti niti procijeniti. 7 Onda su sveøenici unijeli ækrinju Gospodinova zavjeta na njegovo mjesto u unutraænjem svetiætu doma, u Najsvetije Mjesto, pod krila kerubina. 8 Kerubini su drœali krila raæirena nad mjestom gdje je stajala ækrinja. Tako su kerubini prekrili ækrinju i njegove motke.

Then Solomon said: “The LORD said he would dwell in the dark cloud. 2 But I have built you an exalted house, and a place for you to dwell in forever.” 3 Then the king turned around and blessed the whole congregation of Israel, while all the congregation of Israel stood. 4 And he said: “Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, who has fulfilled with his hands what he spoke with his mouth to my father David, saying, 5 Since the day that I brought my people out of the land of Egypt, I have chosen no city from any tribe of Israel in which to build a house, that My name might be there, nor did I choose any man to be a ruler over my people Israel; 6 but I have chosen Jerusalem, that My name may be there; and I have chosen David to be over my people Israel.’ 7 Now it was in the heart of my father David to build a temple for the name of the LORD God of Israel. 8 But the LORD said to my father David, ‘Whereas it was in your heart to build a temple for My name, you did well in that it was in your heart. 9 Nevertheless you shall not build the house, but your son who will come forth from your own loins, he shall build the temple for My name.’ 10 So the LORD has fulfilled his word which he spoke, and I have filled the position of my father David, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised; and I have built the temple for the name of the LORD God of Israel. 11 And there I have put the Ark, in which is the covenant of the LORD which he made with the sons of Israel.” 12 Then Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread out his hands 13 (for Solomon had made a bronze platform five cubits long, five cubits broad, and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court; and he stood

Salomonova velika molitva

Onda je rekao Salomon: “Gospodin je rekao da øe stanovati u tamnom oblaku. 2 A ja sam ti sagradio uzviæen dom, mjesto za tebe da u njemu prebivaæ zauvijek.” 3 Onda se kralj okrenuo i blagoslovio svu izraelsku zajednicu, dok je sva izraelska zajednica stajala. 4 On je rekao: “Blagoslovljen neka je Gospodin, Bog Izraelov, koji je ispunio obeøanje koje je svojim ustima dao mojem ocu Davidu, kad je rekao: 5 ‘Od vremena kad sam izveo svoj narod iz Egipta, nisam izabrao grada ni iz kojega Izraelova plemena da se ondje sagradi dom u kojem bi prebivalo Ime moje, i nikoga nisam izabrao da bi vladao mojim narodom Izraelom. 6 Ali sam izabrao Jeruzalem da u njemu prebiva Ime moje i odabrao Davida da zapovjeda mojem narodu Izraelu.’ 7 I bio je doduæe naumio moj otac David sagraditi dom Imenu Gospodina, Boga Izraelova. 8 Ali je Gospodin rekao mojem ocu Davidu: ‘Da si namislio sagraditi dom mojem Imenu, dobro si uçinio æto si to naumio. 9 Ali ti neøeæ sagraditi taj dom nego tvoj sin koji øe ti se roditi, on øe sagraditi dom mojem Imenu.’ 10 I eto Gospodin je ispunio obeøanje koje je dao, ja sam stupio na mjesto svojega oca Davida i sjeo sam na prijestolje Izraelovo, kako je to obeøao Gospodin, i sagradio sam dom Imenu Gospodina, Boga Izraelova. 11 Ja sam ondje namjestio ækrinju u kojoj je Gospodinov zavjet koji je napravio sa Izraelovim sinovima.” 12 Potom je stupio Salomon pred svom Izraelovom zajednicom pred Gospodinov œrtvenik i raæirio svoje ruke. 13 Salomon je, naime, bio dao napraviti podnoœje od mjedi i stavio ga nasred trijema doma,

Now when Solomon had finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the LORD filled the temple. 2 And the priests could not enter the house of the LORD, because the glory of the LORD had filled the Lord’s house. 3 When all the sons of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of the LORD on the temple, they bowed their faces to the ground on the pavement, and worshiped and praised the LORD, saying: “For he is good, for his mercy endures forever.” 4 Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the LORD. 5 King Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty-two thousand bulls and one hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the people dedicated the house of God.

Po drugi put javlja se Bog Salomonu

Kad svræi Salomon molitvu, siæao je oganj s neba i spalio œrtvu paljenicu i œrtve zaklanice, i slava Gospodinova je napunila dom. 2 Sveøenici nisu viæe mogli stupiti u Gospodinov dom, jer je slava Gospodinova napunila Gospodinov dom. 3 Kad su svi Izraelovi sinovi vidjeli kako je oganj i slava Gospodinova siæla na dom, prignuli su se licem k zemlji na kameni pod, poklonili su se Gospodinu i slavili su ga, govoreøi: “Dobrostiv je on i vjeçno traje njegova milost.” 4 Onda su prinijeli kralj i sav narod œrtve zaklanice pred Gospodinom. 5 Kralj Salomon œrtvova tu kao œrtvu zaklanicu dvadeset i dvije tisuøe volova i stotinu i dvadeset tisuøa ovaca. Tako su posvetili Boœji dom kralj i sav narod.

And Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had gone to Shechem to make him

king. 2 So it happened when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard it (he was in Egypt, where he had fled from the presence of Solomon the king), that Jeroboam returned from Egypt. 3 Then they sent for him and called him. And Jeroboam and all Israel came and spoke to Rehoboam, saying, 4 Your father made our yoke heavy; now therefore, lighten the burdensome service of your father and his heavy yoke which he put on us, and we will serve you.” 5 So he said to them, “Come back to me after three days.” And the people departed. 6 Then King Rehoboam consulted the elders who stood before his father Solomon while he still lived, saying, “How do you advise me to answer these people?” 7 And they spoke to him, saying, “If you are kind to these people, and please them, and speak good words to them, they will be your servants forever.” 8 But he rejected the counsel which the elders had given him, and consulted the young men who had grown up with him, who stood before him. 9 And he said to them, “What advice do you give? How should we answer this people who have spoken to me, saying, ‘Lighten the yoke which your father put on us’?” 10 Then the young men who had grown up with him spoke to him, saying, “Thus you should speak to the people who have spoken to you, saying, ‘Your father made our yoke heavy, but you make it lighter on us’– thus you shall say to them: ‘My little finger shall be

Roboam i dioba kraljevstva

Roboam je otiæao u Æekem, jer se u Æekemu bio skupio sav Izrael da ga postavi kraljem. 2 Tako se dogodilo kad je Jeroboam, sin Nebatov, primio vijest (on je, naime, joæ bio u Egiptu, kamo je bio morao pobjeøi od kralja Salomona), vratio se Jeroboam iz Egipta. 3 Onda su poslali ondje i dali su ga dozvati. Tako je doæao Jeroboam i sav Izrael i govorili su Roboamu rekavæi: 4 “Tvoj je otac nametnuo na nas teœak jaram. Olakæaj nam sada ti tvrdu sluœbu svojega oca i teæki jaram koji je stavio na nas, i mi øemo ti biti podloœni!” 5 On im odgovorio: “Do tri dana doåite opet k meni!” I narod se udaljio. 6 I kralj Roboam se posvjetovao sa starim ljudima koji su bili sluœili njegovu ocu Salomonu dok je bio œiv, i upitao: “Æto mi svjetujete da odgovorim tim ljudima?” 7 Oni mu odgovorili: “Ako danas udovoljiæ tim ljudima, njima se prilagodiæ i prijateljski im odgovoriæ, oni øe ti biti dovijeka podloœni.” 8 Ali se on nije osvrnuo na savjet æto su mu ga dali starci, nego se posvjetovao s mladim ljudima, koji su bili odrasli s njim i pratili ga. 9 On ih upitao: “Æto mi svjetujete da odgovorim tim ljudima koji su zahtijevali od mene: ‘Olakæaj nam jaram koji je nametnuo na nas tvoj otac?’ ” 10 Mladi ljudi, koji su bili odrasli s njim, odgovorili su mu, govoreøi: “Ovako øeæ odgovoriti tim ljudima, koji su ti rekli: ‘Tvoj je otac nametnuo na nas teœak jaram, olakæaj ti naæ jaram.’ Odgovorio im: ‘Moj je mali prst deblji od bedara mojega oca.’

King Roboam nije osvrnuo na savjet staraca. 14 Kako su ga savjetovali mladi ljudi, odgovorio Rehoboam rejected the counsel of the elders, 14 and he spoke to them according to the counsel of im: “Moj vam je otac stavio teœak jaram, a ja øu the young men, saying, “My father made your yoke vaæ jaram uçiniti joæ teœim. Otac vas je moj heavy, but I will add to it; my father chastised you æibao biçevima, a ja øu vas krotiti ætipavcima.” 15 Tako kralj nije sluæao naroda, jer je Bog bio with whips, but I will chastise you with scourges!” 15 So the king did not listen to the people; for the turn tako uredio da Gospodin ispuni svoje obeøanje of affairs was from God, that the LORD might fulfill his koje je preko Ahije Æilonjanina bio dao Jeroword, which he had spoken by the hand of Ahijah the boamu, sinu Nebatovu. 16 Kad je vidio sav Izrael da ih kralj neøe usShilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat. 16 Now when all Israel saw that the king did not listen liæati, odgovorio je narod kralju, govoreøi: to them, the people answered the king, saying: “What “Kakav dio mi imamo s Davidom? Mi nemamo portion have we in David? We have no inheritance in baætine sa sinom Jesejevim. Izraelovi sinovi the son of Jesse. Every man to your tents, O Israel! svaki u svoj æator!

Now when Rehoboam came to Jerusalem, he assembled from the house of Judah and Benjamin one hundred and eighty thousand chosen men who were warriors, to fight against Israel, that he might restore the kingdom to Rehoboam. 2 But the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying, 3 Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying, 4 Thus says the LORD: “You shall not go up or fight against your brethren! Let every man return to his house, for this thing is from me.” ’ ” Therefore they obeyed the words of the LORD, and turned back from attacking Jeroboam. 5 So Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built cities for defense in Judah. 6 And he built Bethlehem, Etam, Tekoa, 7 Beth Zur, Sochoh, Adullam, 8 Gath, Mareshah, Ziph, 9 Adoraim, Lachish, Azekah, 10 Zorah, Aijalon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and Benjamin, fortified cities. 11 And he fortified the strongholds, and put captains in them, and stores of food, oil, and wine. 12 Also in every city he put shields and spears, and made them very strong, having Judah and Benjamin on his side. 13 And from all their territories the priests and the Levites who were in all Israel took their stand with him. 14 For the Levites left their pasture-lands and their possessions and came to Judah and Jerusalem, for Jeroboam and his sons had rejected them from serving as priests to the LORD. 15 Then he appointed for himself priests for the high places, for the demons, and the calf idols which he had made. 16 And after the Levites left, those from all the tribes

Çim je Roboam doæao u Jeruzalem, skupio je Judinu i Benjaminovu kuøu, stotinu i osamdeset tisuøa odabranih ratnika, da zarate protiv Izraela, da natrag dobiju kraljevstvo za Roboama. 2 Onda je doæla rijeç Gospodinova Æemaji, Boœjemu çovjeku, govoreøi: 3 “Javi Roboamu, sinu Salomonovu, Judinu kralju, i svim Izraelovim sinovima u Judi i Benjaminu ovo: 4 Ovako govori Gospodin: ‘Ne izlazite i ne bijte se sa svojom braøom! Svaki neka se vrati svojoj kuøi, jer sam ja zapovjedio da tako bude.’” Oni su posluæali zapovijed Gospodinovu, vratili se i nisu otiæli protiv Jeroboamu. 5 Tako je ostao Roboam u Jeruzalemu i dao je sagraditi tvrde gradove u Judinoj zemlji. 6 Sagradio gradove tvrde Betlehem, Etam, Tekou, 7 Bet-Zur, Sokoh, Adulam, 8 Gat, Mareæu, Zif, 9 Adoraim, Lakiæ, Azeku, 10 Zorah, Ajalon i Hebron, utvråeni gradovi u Judinoj i Benjaminovoj zemlji. 11 I uçinio od njih jake tvråave, namjestio nad njima zapovjednike i postavio u njih spremiæta za hranu, ulje i vino. 12 I u svaki grad ætitove i koplja. Tako ih uçinio veoma jakima i drœao je Judu i Benjamina çvrsto u svojoj ruci. 13 Sveøenici i Leviti iz svega Izraela naæli su se kod njega iz svih svojih krajeva. 14 Leviti, naime, su ostavili svoje paænjake i svoj posjed i iselili se u Judu i Jeruzalem, jer ih je Jeroboam sa svojim sinovima bio skinuo kao Gospodinove sveøenike. 15 Onda je postavio sebi sveøenike za sluœbu na uzvisinama, za jarce i telad koje je napravio. 16 Njima su se pridruœili iz svih Izraelovih ple-

Now it happened, when Rehoboam had established the kingdom and had strengthened himself, that he forsook the law of the LORD, and all Israel along with him. 2 And it happened, in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had transgressed against the LORD, 3 with twelve hundred chariots, sixty thousand horsemen, and people without number who came with him out of Egypt–the Lubim and the Sukkiim and the Ethiopians. 4 And he took the fortified cities of Judah and came to Jerusalem. 5 Then Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and the leaders of Judah, who were gathered together in Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, “Thus says the LORD: ‘You have forsaken me, and therefore I also have left you in the hand of Shishak.’ ” 6 So the leaders of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, “The LORD is righteous.” 7 Now when the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah, saying, “They have humbled themselves; therefore I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance. My wrath shall not be poured out on Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak. 8 Nevertheless they will be his servants, that they may distinguish my service from the service of the kingdoms of the nations.” 9 So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of the LORD and the treasures of the king’s house; he took everything. He also carried away the gold shields which Solomon had made. 10 In their place King Rehoboam made bronze shields and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, who guarded the entrance of the king’s house. 11 And whenever the king entered the house of the LORD, the guard would go and bring them out; then

Æiæak, egipatski kralj, pobjeåuje Roboama

Dogodilo se kad je Roboam bio utvrdio svoju vlast i osigurao svoju moø, napustio je on i s njim sav Izrael zakon Gospodinov. 2 Dogodilo se u petoj godini Roboamova kraljevanja, izaæao je Æiæak kralj Egipta protiv Jeruzalema, jer su oni nevjerno radili protiv Gospodina, 3 s tisuøu i dvije stotine bojnih kola i sa æezdeset tisuøa konjanika, i narod bez broja koji su doæli s njim iz Egipta: Libijaca, Sukijaca i Etiopljana. 4 On je osvojio utvråene gradove u Judi i doæao do Jeruzalema. 5 Onda je doæao prorok Æemaja k Roboamu i Judinim glavarima, koji su se bili pred Æiæakom povukli u Jeruzalem, i rekao im: “Ovako govori Gospodin: ‘Vi ste mene ostavili, zato i ja vas ostavljam u ruke Æiæaku.’ ” 6 Onda se ponizili Izraelovi glavari i kralj, govoreøi: “Gospodin je pravedan.” 7 Kad je vidio Gospodin da su se ponizili, doæla je rijeç Gospodinova Æemaji govoreøi: “Ponizili su se, zato ih neøu ih uniætiti, nego øu im dati neæto izbavljenja, tako da se ne izlije sva moja jarost na Jeruzalem preko Æiæaka. 8 Ali øe mu biti sluge, tako da upoznaju razliku izmeåu sluœbe meni i sluœbe kraljevstvima zemaljskim.” 9 I tako je izaæao Æiæak kralj Egipta protiv Jeruzalema i ugrabio blago u Gospodinovu domu i blago kraljevskog dvora; sve je on uzeo. Uzeo je sobom i zlatne ætitove koje je bio dao napraviti Salomon. 10 Na njihovo mjesto dao je kralj Roboam napraviti mjedene ætitove i povjerio ih paœnji starjeæina nad tjelesnim straœarima, koji su straœili na ulazu u kraljevski dvor. 11 Kad god bi kralj iæao u Gospodinov dom, dolazili su tjelesni straœari i nosili ih, a onda ih opet donosili natrag u straœarnicu tjelesnih straœara. 12 Kad se bio ponizio, odvratila se od njega

13

In the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam, Abijah became king over Judah. 2 He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Michaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam. 3 Abijah set the battle in order with an army of valiant warriors, four hundred thousand choice men. Jeroboam also drew up in battle formation against him with eight hundred thousand choice men, mighty men of valor. 4 Then Abijah stood on Mount Zemaraim, which is in the mountains of Ephraim, and said, “Hear me, Jeroboam and all Israel: 5 Should you not know that the LORD God of Israel gave the dominion over Israel to David forever, to him and his sons, by a covenant of salt? 6 Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up and rebelled against his LORD. 7 Then worthless rogues gathered to him, and strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and inexperienced and could not withstand them. 8 And now you think to withstand the kingdom of the LORD, which is in the hand of the sons of David; and you are a great multitude, and with you are the gold calves which Jeroboam made for you as gods. 9 Have you not cast out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and made for yourselves priests, like the peoples of other lands, so that whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bull and seven rams may be a priest of things that are not gods? 10 But as for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken him; and the priests who minister to the LORD are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites attend to their duties. 11 And they burn to the LORD every morning and every evening burnt sacrifices and sweet incense; they also set the showbread in order on the pure table, and the lampstand of gold with its lamps to burn every evening; for we keep the command of the LORD our God, but you have forsaken him. 12 Now look, God himself is with us as our head, and his priests with sounding trumpets to sound the alarm against you. O sons of Israel, do not fight against the LORD God of your fathers, for you shall not prosper!” 13 But Jeroboam caused an ambush to go around behind them; so they were in front of Judah, and the

Abija pobjeåuje Jeroboama

U osamnaestoj godini kraljevanja Jeroboamova postao je Abija kralj nad Judom. 2 On je vladao tri godine u Jeruzalemu. Njegova se majka zvala Mikaja, køi Uriela iz Gibee. Izmeåu Abija i Jeroboama bio je rat. 3 Abija otvorio boj s vojskom hrabrih ratnika od çetiri stotine tisuøa izabranih ljudi, Jeroboam se postavio u bojni red naprema njemu s osam stotina tisuøa izabranih, hrabrih junaka. 4 Onda je stao Abija gore na brdo Zemaraim– æto leœi u gori Efraimovoj–i povikao: “Çujte me, Jeroboame i svi Izraelovi sinovi! 5 Zar uistinu niste znali da je Gospodin, Bog Izraelov, predao kraljevstvo nad Izraelom na vjeçna vremena Davidu i njegovim potomcima na temelju osoljena zavjeta. 6 Ali Jeroboam, sin Nebatov, sluga Salomona sina Davidova, ustao je i pobunio se protiv svojega gospodara. 7 I skupili se oko njega ljudi besposliçari i nevaljali i Roboama, sina Salomonova, posve su dobili u svoju vlast, jer je Roboam bio premlad i nije bio da bi im se mogao oduprijeti. 8 I vi sad mislite da se moœete oduprijeti kraljevstvu Gospodinovu, koje je u rukama Davidovih sinova, jer vas je mnogo i imate kod sebe zlatnu telad, koje vam je Jeroboam uçinio za bogove. 9 Niste li otjerali Gospodinove sveøenike, Aronove sinove, i Levite i naçinili sebi sveøenike kao narodi drugih zemalja? Svaki, koji je doæao s juncem ili sa sedam ovnova da se posveti, postao je sveøenik onima koji nisu bogovi. 10 Ali naæ Bog jest Gospodin, mi nismo otpali od njega, a kao sveøenici sluœe Gospodinu Aronovi sinovi, i Leviti obavljaju sluœbu. 11 Oni prinose Gospodinu jutrom i veçerom œrtve paljenice i miomirisni k∑d, stavljaju prikazne kruhove na stol od çista zlata i pale svaku veçer zlatnu svjetiljku sa œiæcima njezinim, jer mi drœimo zapovijed Gospodina, svojega Boga, a vi ste ga ostavili. 12 Çujte, s nama je na çelu sam Bog i njegovi sveøenici s glasnim trubama, da zatrube protiv vas. Izraelovi sinovi, ne borite se protiv Gospodina, Boga svojih otaca, jer neøete imati uspjeha.” 13 Ali Jeroboam zaveo zasjedu da im zaåu za leåa. Tako su Judejcima bili sprijeda jedni, a s leåa zasjeda.

14

So Abijah rested with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David. Then Asa his son reigned in his place. In his days the land was quiet for ten years. 2 Asa did what was good and right in the eyes of the LORD his God, 3 for he removed the altars of the foreign gods and the high places, and broke down the sacred pillars and cut down the wooden images. 4 He commanded Judah to seek the LORD God of their fathers, and to observe the law and the commandment. 5 He also removed the high places and the incense altars from all the cities of Judah, and the kingdom was quiet under him. 6 And he built fortified cities in Judah, for the land had rest; he had no war in those years, because the LORD had given him rest. 7 Therefore he said to Judah, “Let us build these cities and make walls around them, and towers, gates, and bars, while the land is yet before us, because we have sought the LORD our God; we have sought him, and he has given us rest on every side.” So they built and prospered. 8 And Asa had an army of three hundred thousand men from Judah who carried shields and spears, and from Benjamin two hundred and eighty thousand men who carried shields and drew bows; all these were mighty men of valor. 9 Then Zerah the Ethiopian came out against them with an army of a million men and three hundred chariots, and he came to Mareshah. 10 So Asa went out against him, and they set the troops in battle array in the Valley of Zephathah at Mareshah. 11 And Asa cried out to the LORD his God, and said, “LORD, it is nothing for you to help, whether with many or with those who have no power; help us, O LORD our God, for we rest on you, and in your name we go against this multitude. O LORD, you are our God; do not let man prevail against you!” 12 So the LORD struck the Ethiopians before Asa and Judah, and the Ethiopians fled. 13 And Asa and the people who were with him pur-

Asa i njegova pobjeda nad Etiopljanima

Kad je Abija bio poçinuo kod svojih otaca, pokopali su ga u Davidovu gradu. Onda je namjesto njega kraljevao njegov sin Asa. Za njegovih dana zemlja je imala mir deset godina. 2 Asa je çinio æto je bilo dobro i pravo u oçima Gospodina, njegova Boga, 3 jer je uklonio œrtvenike tuåih bogova i sluœbu na uzvisinama, dao je poruæiti spomenike i sasjeøi drvene kipove. 4 Zapovjedio je Judinim sinovima da vjerno sluœe Gospodinu, Bogu svojih otaca, i da rade po zakonu i zapovijedima. 5 Takoåer je uklonio iz svih Judinih gradova œrtvene uzvisine i sunçane stupove, i kraljevstvo je imalo mir. 6 On je sagradio tvrde gradove u Judi, jer je zemlja imala mir, i nitko u ono vrijeme nije vodio s njim rat, jer mu je Gospodin dao mir. 7 Zato je on rekao Judejcima: “Sagradimo sebi gradove i opaæimo ih zidovima, kulama, vratima i prijevornicama, dok je joæ mir u zemlji. Jer smo vjerno sluœili Gospodinu, svojem Bogu, i bili smo mu vjerni, zato nam je dao mir unaokolo.” I tako su gradili i imali su uspjeh. 8 I imao je Asa vojsku koja je nosila ætit i koplje: iz Jude tri stotine tisuøa i iz Benjamina dvjesta i osamdeset tisuøa ljudi, koji su nosili ætitove i zapinjali lßk, sami hrabri junaci. 9 Onda je izaæao protiv njih Etiopljanin Zerah s vojskom od milijun ratnika i tri stotine bojnih kola i doæao do Mareæe. 10 Asa je izaæao pred njega. U Dolini Sefati kod Mareæe postavili se u bojni red. 11 Asa je zazvao Gospodina, svojega Boga, i pomoli se: “Gospodine, samo ti moœeæ pomoøi u boju meåu jakim i slabim! Pomozi nam, Gospodine, Boœe naæ, jer mi se oslanjamo na tebe i u tvoje Ime smo izaæli u boj protiv tolikog mnoætva. Gospodine, ti si naæ Bog! Protiv tebe se ne smije çovjek odrœati.” 12 Onda je Gospodin razbio Etiopljane pred Asom i pred Judejcima, i Etiopljani su pobjegli. 13 Asa ih je tjerao sa svojim ratnicima do Ger-

15

Now the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded. 2 And he went out to meet Asa, and said to him: “Hear me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin. The LORD is with you while you are with him. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will forsake you. 3 For a long time Israel has been without the true God, without a teaching priest, and without law; 4 but when in their trouble they turned to the LORD God of Israel, and sought him, he was found by them. 5 And in those times there was no peace to the one who went out, nor to the one who came in, but great turmoil was on all the inhabitants of the lands. 6 So nation was destroyed by nation, and city by city, for God troubled them with every adversity. 7 But you, be strong and do not let your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded!” 8 And when Asa heard these words and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and removed the abominable idols from all the land of Judah and Benjamin and from the cities which he had taken in the mountains of Ephraim; and he restored the altar of the LORD that was before the vestibule of the LORD. 9 Then he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and those who sojourned with them from Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon, for they came over to him in great numbers from Israel when they saw that the LORD his God was with him. 10 So they gathered together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa. 11 And they offered to the LORD at that time seven hundred bulls and seven thousand sheep from the spoil which they had brought. 12 Then they entered into a covenant to seek the LORD God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul; 13 and whoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel was to be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman. 14 Then they took an oath before the LORD with a loud voice, with shouting and trumpets and rams’ horns. 15 And all Judah rejoiced at the oath, for they had sworn with all their heart and sought him with all their soul; and he was found by them, and the LORD gave them rest all around. 16 Also he removed Maacah, the mother of Asa the king, from being queen mother, because she had made an obscene image of Asherah; and Asa cut down her obscene image, crushed it, and burned it by the Brook Kidron. 17 But the high places were not removed from Israel. Nevertheless the heart of Asa was loyal all his days. 18 He also brought into the house of God the things that his father had dedicated and that he himself had dedicated: silver and gold and utensils. 19 And there was no more war until the thirty-fifth year of the reign of Asa.

Asa uvodi opet pravu sluœbu Boœju

A na Azariju, sina Odedova, doæao je duh Boœji. 2 On je otiæao k Asi i rekao mu: “Çujte me, Asa i sav Juda i Benjamine! Gospodin je s vama dok ste vi s njim. Ako ga traœite, naøi øete ga, ali ako ga ostavite, i on øe vas ostaviti. 3 Dugo je vremena bio Izrael bez pravoga Boga, bez sveøenika koji su ga pouçavali i bez zakona. 4 A onda se u svojoj nevolji obrati Gospodinu, Bogu Izraelovu, i kad su ga traœili, naæli su ga. 5 U ono vrijeme nije bilo sigurnosti za one koji odlaze, i za one koji dolaze, nego je meåu svim stanovnicima zemalja vladao veliki nemir. 6 Jedan je narod bio u svaåi s drugim, i jedan grad s drugim, jer ih je Bog straæio svakojakim nevoljama. 7 Budite snaœni i ne dajte da vam klonu ruke, jer øe vaæ trud naøi svoju plaøu!” 8 Kad je Asa çuo ove rijeçi i proroçanstvo proroka Azarije, sina Odedova, ohrabrio se i iskorijenio bogove iz sve Judine zemlje i Benjaminove i iz gradova koje je bio osvojio u gori Efraimovoj, i obnovio je Gospodinov œrtvenik koji je stajao pred trijemom Gospodinovim. 9 Onda je skupio se sav Juda i Benjamin i oni od Efraima, Manaseha i Simeona, koji su kod njih boravili kao doæljaci. Iz Izraela su bili veoma mnogi prebjegli k njemu kad su vidjeli da je s njim bio Gospodin, njegov Bog. 10 Oni su se skupili u Jeruzalem u treøem mjesecu petnaeste godine kraljevanja Asina. 11 I u onaj dan su zaklali Gospodinu od plijena, koji su bili donijeli kuøi: sedam stotina volova i sedam tisuøa ovaca. 12 Onda su uçinili zavjet da øe sluœiti Gospodinu, Bogu svojih otaca, svim svojim srcem i svom svojom duæom. 13 A tko neøe da sluœi Gospodinu, Bogu Izraelovu, taj neka se pogubi, bio ugledan ili malen, bio çovjek ili œena! 14 Glasom i velikim klicanjem, uz trube i rogove zakleli su se Gospodinu. 15 I radovao se sav Juda toj zakletvi, jer su se bili zakleli svim svojim srcem, i traœili su Gospodina iskrenom voljom, i naæli su ga i on im je dao mir svuda unaokolo. 16 Kralj Asa je svoju mater Maaku svrgnuo s njezina mjesta, jer je bila aætarti podigla idolski kip. Asa je sruæio njezina idola, izlomio ga i spalio u Kidronskoj dolini. 17 Ali uzvisine nisu bile sruæene u Izraelu. Ipak je ostao Asa vjeran, dokle god je œivio. 18 Takoåer je dao unijeti u Boœji dom posvetne darove svojega oca i svoje vlastite posvetne darove, srebro, zlato i posuåe. 19 Sve do trideset pete godine kraljevanja Asina nije viæe bilo rata.

In the thirty-sixth year of the reign of Asa, Baasha king of Israel came up against Judah and built Ramah, that he might let none go out or come in to Asa king of Judah. 2 Then Asa brought silver and gold from the treasuries of the house of the LORD and of the king’s house, and sent to Ben-Hadad king of Syria, who dwelt in Damascus, saying, 3 Let there be a treaty between you and me, as there was between my father and your father. Here, I have sent you silver and gold; come, break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, so that he will withdraw from me.” 4 So Ben-Hadad heeded King Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel. They attacked Ijon, Dan, Abel Maim, and all the storage cities of Naphtali. 5 Now it happened, when Baasha heard it, that he stopped building Ramah and ceased his work. 6 Then King Asa took all Judah, and they carried away the stones and timber of Ramah, which Baasha had used for building; and with them he built Geba and Mizpah. 7 And at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said to him: “Because you have relied on the king of Syria, and have not relied on the LORD your God, therefore the army of the king of Syria has escaped from your hand. 8 Were the Ethiopians and the Lubim not a huge army with very many chariots and horsemen? Yet, because you relied on the LORD, he delivered them into your hand. 9 For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to him. In this you have done foolishly; therefore from now on you shall have wars.” 10 Then Asa was angry with the seer, and put him in prison, for he was enraged at him because of this. And Asa oppressed some of the people at that time. 11 Note that the acts of Asa, first and last, are indeed written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel. 12 And in the thirty-ninth year of his reign, Asa became diseased in his feet, and his malady was very severe; yet in his disease he did not seek the LORD, but the physicians. 13 So Asa rested with his fathers; he died in the fortyfirst year of his reign. 14 They buried him in his own tomb, which he had made for himself in the City of David; and they laid him in the bed which was filled with spices and various ingredients prepared in a mixture of ointments. They made a very great burning for him.

Then Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place, and strengthened himself against Israel. 2 And he placed troops in all the fortified cities of Judah, and set garrisons in the land of Judah and in the cities of Ephraim which Asa his father had taken. 3 Now the LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the former ways of his father David; he did not seek the Baals, 4 but sought the God of his father, and walked in his commandments and not according to the acts of Israel. 5 Therefore the LORD established the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah gave presents to Jehoshaphat, and he had riches and honor in abundance. 6 And his heart took delight in the ways of the LORD; moreover he removed the high places and wooden images from Judah.

2 Ljetopisi Asa ratuje s Baaæom. Njegovi grijesi i smrt

U trideset æestoj godini Asina kraljevanja izaæao je Baaæa, Izraelov kralj, protiv Jude i utvrdio Ramu da ne da nikomu otiøi k Asi, Judinu kralju, ni od njega doøi. 2 Ali Asa je uzeo srebro i zlato iz riznica Gospodinova doma i kraljevskog dvora i to poslao Ben-Hadadu, kralju sirijskomu, koji je imao svoje sjediæte u Damasku, i poruçio mu: 3 “Savez postoji izmeåu mene i tebe, kako je bio izmeåu mojega i tvojega oca. Evo æaljem ti srebra i zlata. Pa razrijeæi svoj savez s Baaæom, Izraelovim kraljem, da bi morao otiøi od mene!” 4 Ben-Hadad je posluæao kralja Asu i poslao svoje vojskovoåe protiv Izraelovih gradova. Oni su poharali Ijon, Dan, Abel-Maim i sva spremiæta u gradovima Naftalijevim. 5 Kad je Baaæa to doçuo, prestao je utvråivati Ramu i prestao s poslom. 6 Onda je kralj Asa podigao sve Judejce da odnesu kamenje i grede, koje je bio Baaæa upotrebljavao za utvråivanje Rame, pa je stim dao utvrditi Gebu i Mispu. 7 U ono vrijeme doæao je vidjelac Hanani k Asi, Judinu kralju, i rekao mu: “Jer si se pouzdao u sirijskog kralja, a nisi se oslonio na Gospodina, svojega Boga, zato se vojska sirijskog kralja izmakla iz tvojih ruku. 8 Nisu li Etiopljani i Libijci bili velika vojska s kolima i konjanicima u vrlo velikom broju? Zato jer si se oslonio na Gospodina, dao ti ih u ruke. 9 Jer oçi Gospodinove nadgledaju svu zemlju, da pruœi svoju jaku pomoø onima çije je srce njemu odano. Ti si u tom radio ludo, zato øeæ od sada morati voditi ratove” 10 Onda se Asa razgnjevio na vidioca i bacio ga u tamnicu, jer se zbog toga rasrdio na njega. Asa je onda izmuçio i ljude iz naroda. 11 Asina djela, prijaænja i poslednja, zapisana su u knjizi Judinih i Izraelovih kraljeva? 12 U trideset devetoj godini svojega vladanja razbolio se Asa od nogu. Njegova bolest bila je vrlo teæka, ali i u ovoj bolesti nije traœio pomoø od Gospodina nego od lijeçnika. 13 Tako je Asa poçinuo kod svojih otaca i umro u çetrdeset prvoj godini svojega kraljevanja. 14 Pokopali su ga u njegovoj grobnici koju je bio dao sebi iskopati u Davidovu gradu. Stavili su ga na postelju koju su napunili mirisavim stvarima i umjetno pripremljenom maæøu. Priredili su mu veoma veliku sveçanost.

Poboœna i blagoslovljena vlada Joæafatova

Onda je namjesto njega kraljevao njegov sin Joæafat. On se naoruœao protiv Izraela. 2 Ponamjestio vojsku po svim tvrdim Judinim gradovima i postavio posade po Judinoj zemlji i po Efraimovim gradovima, koje je bio osvojio njegov otac Asa. 3 I bio je Gospodin s Joæafatom, jer je hodio putovima kojima je prije bio iæao njegov djed David, i nije sluœio Baalima, 4 nego je ætovao svojega Boga djeda, po njegovim zapovijedima hodio i nije çinio kao Izraelovi sinovi. 5 Zato je dao Gospodin da ojaça kraljevstvo u njegovoj ruci. Sav Juda prinosio je darove Joæafatu, te je imao veliko blago i slavu. 6 Jer je njemu na putu Gospodinovu porasla sr-

Jehoshaphat had riches and honor in abundance; and by marriage he allied himself with Ahab. 2 After some years he went down to visit Ahab in Samaria; and Ahab killed sheep and oxen in abundance for him and the people who were with him, and persuaded him to go up with him to Ramoth Gilead. 3 So Ahab king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, “Will you go with me against Ramoth Gilead?” And he answered him, “I am as you are, and my people as your people; we will be with you in the war.” 4 And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “Please inquire for the word of the LORD today.” 5 Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, four hundred men, and said to them, “Shall we go to war against Ramoth Gilead, or shall I refrain?” And they said, “Go up, for God will deliver it into the king’s hand.” 6 But Jehoshaphat said, “Is there not still a prophet of the LORD here, that we may inquire of him?” 7 So the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “There is still one man by whom we may inquire of the LORD; but I hate him, because he never prophesies good concerning me, but always evil. He is Micaiah the son of Imla.” And Jehoshaphat said, “Let not the king say such things!” 8 Then the king of Israel called one of his officers and said, “Bring Micaiah the son of Imla quickly!” 9 And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah, clothed in their robes, sat each on his throne;

Pohod Joæafatov i Ahabov protiv Sirijaca

Kad je Joæafat bio postao veoma bogat i moøan, sprijateljio se s Ahabom. 2 Poslije nekoliko godina otiæao k Ahabu u Samariju. Ahab je zaklao njemu i njegovim ljudima mnogo ovaca i volova, i pritom ga nagovorio da poåe s njim protiv Ramota Gileada. 3 I kad je Ahab, Izraelov kralj, upitao Joæafata, Judina kralja: “Hoøeæ li poøi sa mnom protiv Ramota Gileada?”, On mu odgovorio: “Æto ti hoøeæ, hoøu i ja; moja vojska tvoja je vojska, iøi øemo s tobom u boj.” 4 A Joæafat je dao Izraelovu kralju ovaj savjet: “Upitaj prije ipak Gospodina!” 5 I tako je Izraelov kralj dao skupiti proroke, çetiri stotine ljudi, i upitao ih: “Hoøu li poøi u rat protiv Ramota Gileada ili da odustanem?” Oni su odgovorili: “Poåi, jer øe ga Gospodin dati u ruke kralju!” 6 A Joæafat je upitao: “Ima li ovdje joæ koji Gospodin prorok da ga upitamo?” 7 Kralj Izraelov je rekao Joæafatu: “Ima joæ jedan preko koga bismo mogli upitati Gospodina” Ali ja ga ne mogu podnositi, jer mi nikada ne proriçe dobro nego samo zlo: to je Mikaja, sin Imlin.” A Joæafat je odgovorio: “Neka kralj ne govori tako!” 8 Onda je Izraelov kralj dozvao jednoga dvoranina i zapovjedio mu: “Brœe dovedi Mikaju, sina

Then Jehoshaphat the king of Judah re turned safely to his house in Jerusalem. 2 And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to King Jehoshaphat, “Should you help the wicked and love those who hate the LORD? Therefore the wrath of the LORD is upon you. 3 Nevertheless good things are found in you, in that you have removed the wooden images from the land, and have prepared your heart to seek God.” 4 So Jehoshaphat dwelt at Jerusalem; and he went out again among the people from Beer-Sheba to the mountains of Ephraim, and brought them back to the LORD God of their fathers. 5 Then he set judges in the land throughout all the fortified cities of Judah, city by city, 6 and said to the judges, “Take heed to what you are doing, for you do not judge for man but for the LORD, who is with you in the judgment. 7 Now therefore, let the fear of the LORD be upon you; take care and do it, for there is no iniquity with the LORD our God, no partiality, nor taking of bribes.” 8 Moreover in Jerusalem, for the judgment of the LORD and for controversies, Jehoshaphat appointed some of the Levites and priests, and some of the chief fathers of Israel, when they returned to Jerusalem. 9 And he commanded them, saying, “Thus you shall act in the fear of the LORD, faithfully and with a loyal heart: 10 Whatever case comes to you from your brethren who dwell in their cities, whether of bloodshed or offenses against law or commandment, against statutes or ordinances, you shall warn them, lest they trespass against the LORD and wrath come upon you and your brethren. Do this, and you will not be guilty. 11 And take notice: Amariah the chief priest is over you in all matters of the LORD; and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the ruler of the house of Judah, for all the king’s matters; also the Levites will be officials before you. Behave courageously, and the LORD will be with the good.”

Joæafatove uredbe za bogosluœje i sudaçku sluœbu

19

Joæafat, Judin kralj, vratio se çitav i zdrav kuøi u Jeruzalem. 2 Onda je stupio pred njega vidjelac Jehu, sin Hananijev, i rekao kralju Joæafatu: “Zar si morao pruœiti pomoø bezboœniku i ljubav iskazati onima koji mrze Gospodina? Zato je pala na tebe srdœba Gospodinova. 3 Ali se naælo i dobra na tebi: iskorijenio si drvene kipove aætarte iz zemlje i upravio si svoje srce na to da vjerno sluœiæ Bogu.” 4 Joæafat je ostao onda u Jeruzalemu. Obilazio je opet narod od Beer-Æebe do gore Efraimove i privodio ih natrag Gospodinu, Bogu njihovih otaca. 5 I postavio suce u zemlji, u svim tvrdim Judinim gradovima, u svakom gradu. 6 Rekao je sucima: “Gledajte dobro æto çinite, jer neøete vi za ljude suditi, nego za Gospodina koji je s vama kad sudite. 7 Zato neka bude strah Gospodinov u vama! Idite oprezno na posao, jer u Gospodina, naæega Boga, nema nepravde, niti on gleda tko je tko, niti prima mita.” 8 I u Jeruzalemu postavio je Joæafat neke Levite, sveøenike i glavare rodova Izraelovih sinova za sud Gospodinov i za pravne rasprave, kad su se vratili u Jeruzalem. 9 On im je dao ovu zapovijed “Ovako øete raditi: u strahu Gospodinovu, sa svom vjernosti i iskrenim srcem. 10 U svakoj parnici æto je iznesu pred vas vaæa braøa, koji prebivaju po svojim gradovima, to se ticalo umorstva, zakona, zapovijedi, uredaba ili prava, øete ih pouçiti da ne sagrijeæe protiv Gospodina i da ne padne njegov gnjev na vas i na vaæu braøu. Tako morate raditi da ne budete krivi. 11 Veliki sveøenik Amarija bit øe vaæ predstojnik u svim Gospodinovim poslovima, a Zebadija, sin Iæmaelov, poglavar Judine kuøe, u svim kraljevim poslovima. Kao çinovnici stoje vam na sluœbu Leviti. Poåite hrabro na posao i Gospodin øe biti s dobrima.”

Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem. 2 And he did what was right in the sight of the LORD, but not with a loyal heart. 3 Now it was so, when the kingdom was established for him, that he executed his servants who had murdered his father the king. 4 However he did not execute their children, but did as it is written in the law in the book of Moses, where the LORD commanded, saying, “The fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor shall the children be put to death for their fathers; but a person shall die for his own sin.” 5 Moreover Amaziah gathered Judah together and set over them captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, according to their fathers’ houses, throughout all Judah and Benjamin; and he numbered them from twenty years old and above, and found them to be three hundred thousand choice men, able to go to war, who could handle spear and shield. 6 He also hired one hundred thousand mighty men of valor from Israel for one hundred talents of silver. 7 But a man of God came to him, saying, “O king, do not let the army of Israel go with you, for the LORD is not with Israel–not with any of the sons of Ephraim. 8 But if you go, be gone! Be strong in battle! Even so, God shall make you fall before the enemy; for God has power to help and to overthrow.” 9 Then Amaziah said to the man of God, “But what shall we do about the hundred talents which I have given to the troops of Israel?” And the man of God

Amazija Judin kralj

Bilo je Amaziji dvadeset i pet godina, kad je postao kralj. Vladao je dvadeset i devet godina u Jeruzalemu. Njegova se majka zvala Joadana, iz Jeruzalema. 2 On je çinio æto je bilo pravo u oçima Gospodina, ali ne u punoj vjernosti. 3 Çim je imao çvrsto u rukama kraljevsku vlast, dao je poubijati dvorane koji su ubili njegova kraljevskog oca. 4 Sinova nije dao ipak ubiti, po zapovijedi koja stoji zapisana u knjizi Mojsijeva zakona, gdje zapovjeda Gospodin: “Oçevi neka se ne pogube zbog svoje djece, niti djeca zbog svojih otaca, nego svaki neka se pogubi samo zbog svojega vlastitoga prekræaja!” 5 Iza toga podigao Amazija Judejce i dao je da se od svega Jude i Benjamina postave poredani po obiteljima, tisuønicima i stotnicima. Kad ih je izbrojio od dvadeset godina pa na viæe, bilo ih je tri stotine tisuøa izabranih ratnika, koji su nosili koplje i ætit. 6 Joæ je unajmio iz Izraela stotinu tisuøa sposobnih ratnika za stotinu talenata srebra. 7 Ali mu je doæao jedan Boœji çovjek i rekao: “Kralju, neka ne ide s tobom izraelska vojska, jer Gospodin nije s Izraelom niti sa Efraimovim sinovima. 8 Idi sam odvaœno i hrabro u boj! Inaçe mogao bi te Bog sruæiti pred neprijateljem, jer Bog ima moø da dade pomoø i da sruæi.” 9 Amazija je upitao Boœjega çovjeka: “A æto øe onda biti od stotinu talenata æto sam ih dao izraelskoj vojsci?” Boœji çovjek je odgovorio:

-5422 Chronicles 2 Ljetopisi answered, “The LORD is able to give you much more “Gospodin ti moœe puno viæe dati od toga.” 10 Tako je Amazija otpustio Efraimove sinove than this.” 10 So Amaziah discharged the troops that had come od svoje vojske da bi se vratili kuøi. Oni se vrlo to him from Ephraim, to go back home. Therefore rasrdili na Judejce i vratili se kuøi s velikim gntheir anger was greatly aroused against Judah, and jevom. 11 A Amazija je poveo hrabro svoj narod u boj i they returned home in great anger. 11 Then Amaziah strengthened himself, and lead- otiæao u Slanu dolinu i ondje pobio deset tisuøa ing his people, he went to the Valley of Salt and killed Seirovih sinova. 12 A deset tisuøa drugih su Judejci zarobili ten thousand of the people of Seir. 12 And the sons of Judah took captive another ten œive. Odveli su ih navrh jedne hridine i pobacali thousand alive, brought them to the top of the rock, ih s vrha hridine tako da su se svi raspali. and cast them down from the top of the rock, so that 13 A vojnici, koje je Amazija poslao natrag, i koji nisu smjeli poøi s njim u boj, upali su od Sathey all were dashed in pieces. 13 But as for the soldiers of the army which Amaziah marije do Bet-Horona u Judine gradove, pobili had discharged, so that they would not go with him to su u njima tri tisuøe ljudi i zaplijenili velik plijen. battle, they raided the cities of Judah from Samaria 14 Kad se Amazija iza pobjede nad Edomcima to Beth Horon, killed three thousand in them, and vratio kuøi, donio je sobom idolske kipove Seirovih sinova, postavio ih sebi za bogove i klantook much spoil. 14 Now it was so, after Amaziah came from the jao im se i prinosio im œrtve. slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the gods 15 Onda se raspalila srdœba Gospodinova na of the people of Seir, set them up to be his gods, and Amaziju i on poslao k njemu proroka, koji mu bowed down before them and burned incense to rekao: “Zaæto sluœiæ bogovima toga naroda koji nisu mogli izbaviti svojega vlastitog naroda iz them. 15 Therefore the anger of the LORD was aroused tvoje ruke?” against Amaziah, and he sent him a prophet who 16 Kad je on tako govorio njemu, odgovorio mu said to him, “Why have you sought the gods of the ovaj: “Jesmo li te postavili kralju za savjetnika? people, which could not rescue their own people from Prestani! Zar da te se isprebija?” Prorok je prestao, ali joæ je rekao: “Sad znam da te je Bog your hand?” 16 So it was, as he talked with him, that the king said naumio upropastiti, jer si tako radio i neøeæ to him, “Have we made you the king’s counsel? posluæati moj savjet.” Cease! Why should you be killed?” Then the prophet 17 Poæto se Amazija, Judin kralj, posvjetovao, ceased, and said, “I know that God has determined poslao poslanike le k Joaæu, sinu Joahazovu, to destroy you, because you have done this and have unuku Jehuovu, Izraelovu kralju, i pozvao: “Doåi da se ogledamo!” not heeded my counsel.” 17 Then Amaziah king of Judah took counsel and 18 A Joaæ, Izraelov kralj, dao je Amaziji, Judinu sent to Joash the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, kralju, odgovoriti: “Trn na Lebanonu poslan king of Israel, saying, “Come, let us face one another jedanput k cedru na Lebanonu, govoreøi: ‘Daj svoju køer mojem sinu za œenu.’ Ali zvijer na in battle.” 18 And Joash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Lebanonu pretrçala preko trna i zgazila ga.

Now all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king instead of his father Amaziah. 2 He built Elath and restored it to Judah, after the king rested with his fathers. 3 Uzziah was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jecholiah of Jerusalem. 4 And he did what was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah had done. 5 He sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God; and as long as he sought the LORD, God made him prosper. 6 Now he went out and made war against the Philistines, and broke down the wall of Gath, the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod; and he built cities around Ashdod and among the Philistines. 7 God helped him against the Philistines, against the Arabians who lived in Gur Baal, and against the Meunites. 8 Also the Ammonites brought tribute to Uzziah. His fame spread as far as the entrance of Egypt, for he strengthened himself exceedingly. 9 And Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate, at the Valley Gate, and at the corner buttress of the wall; then he fortified them. 10 Also he built towers in the desert. He dug many wells, for he had much livestock, both in the lowlands and in the plains; he also had farmers and vinedressers in the mountains and in Carmel, for he loved the soil. 11 Moreover Uzziah had an army of fighting men who went out to war by companies, according to the number on their roll as prepared by Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the officer, under the hand of Hananiah, one of the king’s captains. 12 The total number of chief officers of the mighty men of valor was two thousand six hundred. 13 And under their hand was an army of three hundred and seven thousand five hundred, that made war with mighty power, to help the king against the enemy. 14 Then Uzziah prepared for them, for the entire army, shields, spears, helmets, body armor, bows, and slings to cast stones. 15 And he made devices in Jerusalem, invented by skillful men, to be on the towers and the corners, to shoot arrows and large stones. So his fame spread far and wide, for he was marvelously helped till he became strong. 16 But when he was strong his heart was lifted up, to his destruction, for he transgressed against the LORD his God by entering the temple of the LORD to burn incense on the altar of incense. 17 So Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him were eighty priests of the LORD, who were valiant men. 18 And they withstood King Uzziah, and said to him, “It is not for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to the LORD, but for the priests, the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated to burn incense. Get out of the sanctuary, for you have trespassed! You shall have no honor from the LORD God.” 19 Then Uzziah became furious; and he had a censer in his hand to burn incense. And while he was angry with the priests, leprosy broke out on his fore-

Uzijina pobjeda. Njegov grijeh i kazna

Potom je uzeo sav Judin narod Uziju, komu je tek bilo æesnaest godina, i postavio ga kraljem namjesto njegova oca Amazije. 2 On utvrdi Elat, koji je bio vratio Judi poæto je kralj poçinuo kod svojih otaca. 3 Bilo je Uziji æesnaest godina kad je postao kralj, i vladao je pedeset i dvije godine u Jeruzalemu. Njegova majka zvala se Jekolija, iz Jeruzalema. 4 On je çinio æto je bilo pravo u oçima Gospodina, toçno onako kako je bio çinio njegov otac Amazija. 5 On je pazio na to da sluœi vjerno Bogu dok je œivio Zaharija, koji ga je pouçavao u strahu Boœjemu, i dokle je sluœio Gospodinu, Bog mu je davao uspjeh. 6 On je poæao u rat protiv Filistejaca, sruæio zidove Gatu, Jabni i Aædodu i postavio utvrde u podruçju Aædoda i po ostaloj zemlji Filistejaca. 7 I Bog mu je pomogao protiv Filistejaca i protiv Arapa, koji su stanovali u Gur-Baalu, i protiv Meunjana. 8 I Amonci su plaøali Uziji danak. Njegova je slava dopirala do Egipta, tako se on bio osilio. 9 U Jeruzalemu je Uzija sagradio kule na Ugaonim vratima, na Dolskim vratima i u kutu zida, i utvrdio ih. 10 I u pustinji je sagradio kule i dao je iskopati mnogo studenaca, jer je imao velika stada u nizini i u ravnici, i poljodjelaca i vinogradara po brdima i na Karmelu. Bio je, naime, prijatelj poljodjelstva. 11 Uzija je imao i vojsku ratnika koja je iæla u boj, ureåena po çetama, kako ih je bio izbrojio pisar Jehiel i upravitelj Maaseja pod ravnanjem Hananije, kraljevog vojskovoåe. 12 Ukupni broj rodovskih glavara, sve samih hrabrih junaka, bio je dvije tisuøe i æest stotina. 13 Pod njihovom je zapovijedi stajala bojna sila od tri stotine sedam tisuøa i pet stotina hrabrih boraca, koji su vojevali za kralja protiv neprijatelja. 14 Za svu vojsku nabavio je Uzija ætitove, koplja, kacige, oklope, lßkove i kamenje za praøke. 15 I dao je napraviti u Jeruzalemu vjeæto izmiæljene strojeve, æto su na kulama i uglovima imali za to sluœiti, za bacanje strijela i velikoga kamenja. Njegova se slava raznijela nadaleko, jer mu se davala çudesna pomoø tako da je postao moøan. 16 Ali kad se bio osilio, srce se njegovo ponijelo, i on se pokvario. Sagrijeæio protiv Gospodina, svojega Boga, jer je uæao u Gospodinov dom kaditi na kadionom œrtveniku. 17 A sveøenik Azarija i osamdeset Gospodinovih sveøenika, plemenitih ljudi, pohitjeli su za njim, 18 Oprli se kralju Uziji i doviknuli mu: “Nije tvoje, Uzija, kaditi Gospodinu nego samo sveøenika, Aronovih sinova, koji su posveøeni za to da k∑de. Izaåi iz svetinje! Ti si sagrijeæio, i to ti nije na çast pred Bogom, Gospodinom.”

Jotham was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jerushah the daughter of Zadok. 2 And he did what was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Uzziah had done (although he did not enter the temple of the LORD). But still the people acted corruptly. 3 He built the Upper Gate of the house of the LORD, and he built extensively on the wall of Ophel. 4 Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and in the forests he built fortresses and towers. 5 He also fought with the king of the Ammonites and defeated them. And the sons of Ammon gave him in that year one hundred talents of silver, ten thousand kors of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. The sons of Ammon paid him this amount in the second and third years also. 6 So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the LORD his God. 7 Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars and his ways, indeed they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. 8 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. 9 So Jotham rested with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David. Then Ahaz his son reigned in his place.

28

Ahaz was twenty years old when he be came king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem; and he did not do what was right in the sight of the LORD, as his father David had done. 2 For he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made molded images for the Baals. 3 He burned incense in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, and burned his children in the fire, according to the abominations of the nations whom the LORD had cast out before the sons of Israel. 4 And he sacrificed and burned incense on the high places, on the hills, and under every green tree. 5 Therefore the LORD his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria. They defeated him, and carried away a great multitude of them as captives, and brought them to Damascus. Then he was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who defeated him with a great slaughter. 6 For Pekah the son of Remaliah killed one hundred and twenty thousand in Judah in one day, all valiant men, because they had forsaken the LORD God of their fathers.

Njegov sin Jotam je kraljevao namjesto njega

27

Dvadeset i pet godina bilo je Jotatamu kad je postao kralj, i vladao je æesnaest godina u Jeruzalemu. Njegova majka zvala se Jeruæa i bila je køi Sadokova. 2 On je çinio æto je bilo pravo u oçima Gospodina, posve kako je bio çinio njegov otac Uzija, samo æto nije prodro u Gospodinov dom, ali je narod joæ uvijek çinio zlo. 3 On je sagradio gornja vrata na Gospodinovu domu; i na zidu Ofela mnogo sagradio. 4 Nadalje je utvrdio gradove na Judinoj gori i u æumama sagradio dvorove i kule. 5 I zaratio je s kraljem Amonaca i pobijedio ih. Amonci su mu morali one godine dati stotinu talenata srebra, deset tisuøa kora pæenice i deset tisuøa kora jeçma. Isti danak morali su mu Amonci dati i druge i treøe godine. 6 Tako je postajao Jotam sve moøniji, jer je hodio vjerno pred Gospodinom, svojim Bogom. 7 Ostala djela Jotamova i svi njegovi ratovi i njegovi putovi zapisani su u knjizi Izraelovim i Judinim kraljeva. 8 Bilo mu je dvadeset i pet godina kad je postao kralj, i vladao je æesnaest godina u Jeruzalemu. 9 Kad je Jotam poçinuo kod svojih otaca, pokopali su ga u Davidovu gradu. Onda je njegov sin Ahaz kraljevao namjesto njega.

Ahaz se odaje na idolopoklonstvu

Dvadeset godina bilo je Ahazu, kad je postao kralj, i vladao je æesnaest godina u Jeruzalemu. On nije çinio ono æto je bilo pravo u oçima Gospodina, kako je çinio njegov djed David. 2 Jer je hodio putovima Izraelovih kraljeva i dao saliti kipove Baalima. 3 Kadio je u dolini sina Hinomova i pustio je, po gadnom obiçaju neznaboœaca, koje je bio odagnao Gospodin ispred Izraelovih sinova, da mu sinovi idu kroz oganj. 4 Prinosio je i œrtve zaklanice i kadio je na uzvisinama i breœuljcima i pod svakim zelenim stablom. 5 I tako ga je dao Gospodin, njegov Bog, u ruke Sirijskomu kralju. Ovaj ga pobijedio, zarobio veliko mnoætvo njegovih ljudi i odveo ih u Damask. Joæ je bio predan u ruke Izraelovu kralju, koji mu nanio teœak poraz. 6 Jer Pekah, sin Remalijin, dao je poubijati u jedan dan u Judeji stotinu i dvadeset tisuøa

Hezekiah became king when he was twenty-five years old, and he reigned twentynine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Abijah the daughter of Zechariah. 2 And he did what was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father David had done. 3 In the first year of his reign, in the first month, he opened the doors of the house of the LORD and repaired them. 4 Then he brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered them in the East Square, 5 and said to them: “Hear me, Levites! Now sanctify yourselves, sanctify the house of the LORD God of your fathers, and carry out the rubbish from the holy place. 6 For our fathers have trespassed and done evil in the eyes of the LORD our God; they have forsaken him, have turned their faces away from the habitation of the LORD, and turned their backs on him. 7 They have also shut up the doors of the vestibule, put out the lamps, and have not burned incense or offered burnt offerings in the holy place to the God of Israel. 8 Therefore the wrath of the LORD fell upon Judah and Jerusalem, and he has given them up to trouble, to astonishment, and to jeering, as you see with your eyes. 9 For indeed, because of this our fathers have fallen by the sword; and our sons, our daughters, and our wives are in captivity. 10 Now it is in my heart to make a covenant with the LORD God of Israel, that his fierce wrath may turn away from us. 11 My sons, do not be negligent now, for the LORD has chosen you to stand before him, to serve him, and that you should minister to him and burn incense.” 12 Then these Levites arose: Mahath the son of Amasai and Joel the son of Azariah, of the sons of the Kohathites; of the sons of Merari, Kish the son of Abdi and Azariah the son of Jehalelel; of the Gershonites, Joah the son of Zimmah and Eden the son of Joah; 13 of the sons of Elizaphan, Shimri and Jeiel; of the sons of Asaph, Zechariah and Mattaniah; 14 of the sons of Heman, Jehiel and Shimei; and of the sons of Jeduthun, Shemaiah and Uzziel. 15 And they gathered their brethren, sanctified themselves, and went according to the commandment of the king, at the words of the LORD, to cleanse the house of the LORD. 16 Then the priests went into the inner part of the house of the LORD to cleanse it, and brought out all the debris that they found in the temple of the LORD to the court of the house of the LORD. And the Levites took it out and carried it to the Brook Kidron. 17 Now they began to sanctify on the first day of the first month, and on the eighth day of the month they came to the vestibule of the LORD.

Ezekija obnavlja sluœbu Boœju

Ezekiji je bilo dvadeset i pet godina kad je postao kralj, i vladao je dvadeset i devet godina u Jeruzalemu. Njegova se majka zvala Abija i bila je køi Zaharijina. 2 On je çinio æto je bilo pravo u oçima Gospodina, posve onako kako je bio çinio njegov djed David. 3 Odmah u prvoj godini svojega vladanja, u prvom mjesecu, otvorio je vrata na Gospodinovu domu i popravio ih. 4 Dao je sazvati sveøenike i Levite, skupio ih na slobodnom trgu prema istoku, 5 i progovorio im: “Çujte me, Leviti! Posvetite se sada, a posvetite i dom Gospodina, Boga svojih otaca, i iznesite smeøe iz svetoga mjesta! 6 Jer su naæi oçevi nevjerno radili i çinili zlo pred Gospodinom, naæim Bogom, ostavili su ga i odvratili su poglede svoje od æatora Gospodinova i okrenuli mu leåa. 7 Dapaçe, zatvorili su vrata trijema, pogasili svjetiljke, nisu viæe kadili kadom i nisu viæe prinosili œrtve paljenice Bogu Izraelovu u Svetom mjestu. 8 Zato je doæla srdœba Gospodinova na Judu i Jeruzalem.

And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and also wrote letters to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, to keep the Passover to the LORD God of Israel. 2 For the king and his princes and all the congregation in Jerusalem had agreed to keep the Passover in the second month. 3 For they could not keep it at that time, because a sufficient number of priests had not sanctified themselves, nor had the people gathered together at Jerusalem. 4 And the matter pleased the king and all the congregation. 5 So they resolved to make a proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beer-Sheba to Dan, that they should come to keep the Passover to the LORD God of Israel at Jerusalem, since they had not done it for a long time in the prescribed manner. 6 Then the runners went throughout all Israel and Judah with the letters from the king and his princes, and spoke according to the commandment of the king: “Sons of Israel, return to the LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel; then he will return to the remnant of you who have escaped from the hand of the kings of Assyria. 7 And do not be like your fathers and your brethren, who trespassed against the LORD God of their fathers, so that he gave them up to astonishment, as you see. 8 Now do not be stiffnecked, as your fathers were, but yield yourselves to the LORD; and enter his sanctuary, which he has sanctified forever, and serve the LORD your God, that the fierceness of his wrath may turn away from you. 9 For if you return to the LORD, your brethren and your children will be treated with compassion by those who lead them captive, so that they may come back to this land; for the LORD your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn his face from you if you return to him.” 10 So the runners passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh, as far as Zebulun; but they laughed them to scorn and mocked them. 11 Nevertheless some from Asher, Manasseh, and Zebulun humbled themselves and came to Jerusalem. 12 Also the hand of God was on Judah to give them singleness of heart to do the commandment of the king and the princes, at the word of the LORD. 13 Now many people, a very great congregation, assembled at Jerusalem to keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread in the second month. 14 They arose and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and they took away all the incense altars and cast them into the Brook Kidron. 15 Then they slaughtered the Passover lambs on the fourteenth day of the second month. The priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought the burnt offerings to the house of the LORD. 16 They stood in their place according to their custom, according to the law of Moses the man of God; the priests sprinkled the blood which they received

Svetkovanje Pashe

Potom je Ezekija poslao poslanike svemu Izraelu i Judi i napisao Efraimu i Manasehu pisma da bi doæli u Gospodinov dom u Jeruzalem proslaviti Svetkovinu Pashe Gospodinu, Bogu Izraelovu. 2 Kralj i glavari njegovi i sva skupætina u Jeruzalemu bili su odluçili odrœati Svetkovinu Pashe u drugom mjesecu. 3 Poæto ga nisu bili mogli slaviti u propisano vrijeme, jer se nisu bili sveøenici u propisanom broju za to posvetili i narod se joæ nije bio skupio u Jeruzalem. 4 I to se svidjelo kralju i cijeloj zajednici. 5 Tako su zakljuçili proglasiti po svem Izraelu od Beer-Æebe do Dana, da doåu svetkovati Gozbu Pashe Gospodinu, Bogu Izraelovu, u Jeruzalemu, otkako se nije viæe svetkovao uz opøe sudjelovanje, kako je to bilo propisano. 6 I tako su otiæli glasnici s pismima iz ruke kralja i njegovih glavara po svemu Izraelu i Judi naokolo i objavili po kraljevoj zapovijedi: “Izraelovi sinovi, vratite se natrag Gospodinu, Bogu Abrahamovu, Izakovu i Izraelovu, da se on opet obrati k vama, koji ste utekli vlasti asirskih kraljeva i joæ ste preostali! 7 Ne budite kao vaæi oçevi i vaæa braøa koji su bili nevjerni Gospodinu, Bogu svojih otaca, tako da ih je predao uniætenju, kako ste to doœivjeli! 8 Zato ne budite tvrdokorni kao vaæi oçevi, nego pruœite ruku Gospodinu i doåite k njegovu svetiætu koje je posvetio zauvijek, i sluœite Gospodinu, svojem Bogu, da se odvrati od vas njegov œestoki gnjev! 9 Jer ako se obratite Gospodinu, vaæa øe braøa i vaæi sinovi naøi milosråe u onih koji su ih odveli u ropstvo, tako da se mognu vratiti u ovu zemlju, jer je Gospodin, vaæ Bog, milostiv i milosrdan i neøe odvratiti svoje milosti od vas, ako se obratite k njemu.” 10 I tako su iæli glasnici od grada do grada po zemlji Efraimovoj i Manasehovoj i do u Zebulun, ali su im se podsmijevali i rugali. 11 Samo neki ljudi od Aæera, Manaseha i Zebuluna doæli su u Jeruzalem. 12 Naprotiv, upravljala je u Judi ruka Boœja, koja im je stavila u srce da se po zapovijedi Gospodinovoj jednoduæno odazovu pozivu kralja i glavara. 13 I tako se skupilo u Jeruzalem veliko mnoætvo naroda da u drugom mjesecu proslave Svetkovinu beskvasnih kruhova, veoma mnogobrojna zajednica. 14 Oni su se ustali i uklonili œrtvenike u Jeruzalemu; tako su isto uklonili sve kadione œrtvenike i pobacali ih u Kidronsku dolinu . 15 Çetrnaestoga dana drugog mjeseca zaklali su janjce Pashe. Sveøenici i Leviti osjetili su se postiåeni, posvetili se i donijeli su œrtve paljenice k Gospodinovu domu. 16 Po propisima Mojsijeva zakona, koji su vrijedili za njih, a Mojsije, Boœji çovjek, bio ih je izdao, obavili su svoju sluœbu. Sveøenici su izlili krv æto su im je pruœili Leviti.

Now when all this was finished, all Israel who were present went out to the cities of Judah and broke the sacred pillars in pieces, cut down the wooden images, and threw down the high places and the altars–from all Judah, Benjamin, Ephraim, and Manasseh–until they had utterly destroyed them all. Then all the sons of Israel returned to their own cities, every man to his possession. 2 And Hezekiah appointed the divisions of the priests and the Levites according to their divisions, each man according to his service, the priests and Levites for burnt offerings and peace offerings, to serve, to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of the camp of the LORD. 3 The king also appointed a portion of his possessions for the burnt offerings: for the morning and evening burnt offerings, the burnt offerings for the sabbaths and the New Moons and the set feasts, as it is written in the law of the LORD. 4 Moreover he commanded the people who dwelt in Jerusalem to contribute support for the priests and the Levites, that they might devote themselves to the law of the LORD.

Ezekija uklanja idolopoklonstvo

Kad se sva ova sveçanost svræila, sav Izrael koji je bio nazoçan, otiæli su po Judinim gradovima, polomili stupove u komade, sasjekli drvene kipove, razorili œrtvene uzvisine i œrtvenike po cijeloj Judinoj zemlji, Benjaminovoj, Efraimovoj i Manasehovoj, dok sve nije bilo uniæteno. Onda se vratili svi Izraelovi sinovi u svoje gradove na svoje imanje. 2 Potom je Ezekija postavio sveøeniçke i levitske redove po njihovim redovima–svakog sveøenika i Levita u sluœbenom podruçju njegovu–za œrtve paljenice i œrtve mirotvorne, da sluœe i da hvale i pjevaju na vratima tabora Gospodinova. 3 Kralj je odredio dio od njegova posjeda za œrtve paljenice, za œrtve paljenice jutrom i veçerom i za œrtve paljenice na Subotnji dan, na mjesece mlaåake i na svetkovine, kako je propisano u Gospodinovu zakonu. 4 I zapovjedio narodu, koji je stanovao u Jeruzalemu, da daju dio za sveøenike i Levite, da bi se mogli çvrsto drœati zakona Gospodinova. 5 Kad se razglasila ova zapovijed, poçeli su

Josiah was eight years old when he be came king, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem. 2 And he did what was right in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the ways of his father David; he did not turn aside to the right hand or to the left. 3 For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was still young, he began to seek the God of his father David; and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem of the high places, the wooden images, the carved images, and the molded images. 4 They broke down the altars of the Baals in his presence, and the incense altars which were above them he cut down; and the wooden images, the carved images, and the molded images he broke in pieces, and made dust of them and scattered it on the graves of those who had sacrificed to them. 5 He also burned the bones of the priests on their altars, and cleansed Judah and Jerusalem. 6 And so he did in the cities of Manasseh, Ephraim, and Simeon, as far as Naphtali and all around, with axes. 7 When he had broken down the altars and the wooden images, had beaten the carved images into powder, and cut down all the incense altars throughout all the land of Israel, he returned to Jerusalem. 8 Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had purged the land and the temple, he sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah the son of Joahaz the recorder, to repair the house of the LORD his God. 9 When they came to Hilkiah the high priest, they delivered the money that was brought into the house of God, which the Levites who kept the doors had gathered from the hand of Manasseh and Ephraim, from all the remnant of Israel, from all Judah and Benjamin, and which they had brought back to Jerusalem. 10 Then they put it in the hand of the workmen who had the oversight of the house of the LORD; and they gave it to the workmen who worked in the house of the LORD, to repair and restore the house. 11 They gave it to the craftsmen and builders to buy hewn stone and timber for beams, and to floor the houses which the kings of Judah had destroyed. 12 And the men did the work faithfully. Their overseers were Jahath and Obadiah the Levites, of the sons of Merari, and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites, to supervise. Others of the Levites, all of whom were skillful with instruments of music, 13 were over the burden bearers and were overseers of all who did work in any kind of service. And some of the Levites were scribes, officers, and gatekeepers. 14 Now when they brought out the money that was brought into the house of the LORD, Hilkiah the priest found the book of the law of the LORD given by Moses. 15 Then Hilkiah answered and said to Shaphan the scribe, “I have found the book of the law in the house of the LORD.” And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan. 16 So Shaphan carried the book to the king, bringing the king word, saying, “All that was committed to your servants they are doing. 17 And they have gathered the money that was found

Josiji je bilo osam godina, kad je postao kralj. Vladao je trideset i jednu godinu u Jeruzalemu. 2 Çinio je æto je bilo pravo u oçima Gospodina, i hodio je putovima svojega djeda Davida, nije odstupio od toga ni nalijevo ni nadesno. 3 U osmoj godini svojega vladanja, kad je joæ bio veoma mlad, poçeo je vjerno sluœiti Bogu svojega djeda Davida. U dvanaestoj godini poçeo je çistiti Judinu zemlju i Jeruzalem od œrtvenih uzvisina, od drvenih kipova, od rezbarenih i livenih kipova. 4 Pred njegovim oçima raskopali su œrtvenike Baalove. Sunçane stupove, koji su bili gore na njima, dao je sasjeøi, drvene kipove, rezbarene kipove i spomenike dao je sruæiti i satrti ih u prah, od njih je dao razasuti po grobovima onih koji su im bili œrtvovali. 5 Kosti sveøenika dao spaliti na njihovim œrtvenicima i tako je oçistio Judinu zemlju i Jeruzalem. 6 I u gradovima od Manaseha i Efraima, od Simeona do Naftalija, unaokolo u njihovim ruæevinama. 7 Kad je poruæio œrtvenike, drvene kipove i rezbarene kipove izlomiti i satrti u prah, i po cijeloj zemlji Izraelovoj sve sunçane stupove sasjeøi, vratio se u Jeruzalem. 8 U osamnaestoj godini njegova vladanja, poæto je bio oçistio zemlju i dom, poslao je Æafana, Asalijahina sina, gradskoga zapovjednika Maaseja i peçatnika Joaha, sina Joahazova, da se popravi dom Gospodina, njegova Boga. 9 Kad su oni doæli k velikomu sveøeniku Hilkiji, predali su novce æto su bili doneseni u Boœji dom i koje su bili nakupili Leviti, çuvari pragova, od Manaseha i Efraima i od svih ostalih Izraelovih sinova i od svega Jude i Benjamina i od stanovnika Jeruzalema. 10 Oni ih uruçili poslovoåama postavljenim kod Gospodinova doma. Ovi su isplaøivali poslenike zaposlene oko Gospodinova doma, obnavljajuøi i popravljajuøi dom. 11 Oni su davali drvodjeljama i zidarima, da se kupuje oklesano kamenje i drvo za grede i da se pobrvnaju zgrade æto su ih bili poruæili Judini kraljevi. 12 Ljudi su radili svoj posao vjerno i toçno. Nad njima su bili postavljeni za nadzor Leviti Jahat i Obadija od Merarijevih sinova i Zaharija i Meæulam od Kohatovih sinova. Drugi Leviti koji su se razumjeli u glazbala, 13 bili su postavljeni nad nositeljima i takoåer bilo im je povjereno nadziranje svih drugih poslenika kod njihova sluœbovanja. Gdjekoji Leviti bili su pisari, upravitelji i vratari. 14 Kad su vadili novce æto su bili uæli za Gospodinov dom, naæao je sveøenik Hilkija knjigu zakona Gospodinova, dana po Mojsiju. 15 Odgovorio je Hilkija pisaru Æafanu, govoreøi: “Naæao sam knjigu zakona u Gospodinovu domu.” Hilkija je onda predao knjigu Æafanu. 16 Æafan je odnio knjigu kralju i podnio kralju

Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz t he son of Josiah, and made him king in his father’s place in Jerusalem. 2 Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he became king, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. 3 Now the king of Egypt deposed him at Jerusalem; and he imposed on the land a tribute of one hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold. 4 Then the king of Egypt made his brother Eliakim king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. And Necho took Jehoahaz his brother and carried him off to Egypt. 5 Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And he did evil in the sight of the LORD his God. 6 Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against him, and bound him in bronze fetters to carry him off to Babylon. 7 Nebuchadnezzar also carried off some of the articles from the house of the LORD to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon. 8 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, the abominations which he did, and what was found against him, indeed they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. Then Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place. 9 Jehoiachin was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months and

Narod zemlje je uzeo Joahaza, sina Josijina, i postavio ga kraljem namjesto njegova oca u Jeruzalemu. 2 Joahaz je imao dvadeset i tri godine kad je postao kralj, i vladao je tri mjeseca u Jeruzalemu. 3 Egipatski kralj svrgao ga u Jeruzalemu i nametnuo zemlji danak od stotinu talenata srebra i jedan talenat zlata. 4 Onda je egipatski kralj postavio njegova brata Elijakima kraljem nad Judom i Jeruzalemom i promijeni mu ime u Jojakim. A njegova brata Joahaza je uzeo Neko sobom i odveo ga u Egipat. 5 Jojakimu je bilo dvadeset i pet godina, kad je postao kralj, i vladao je jedanaest godina u Jeruzalemu. Çinio je zlo pred Gospodinom, njegovim Bogom. 6 Onda je doæao protiv njega Nebukadnezar, babilonski kralj, i stavio ga u mjedene verige da ga odvede u Babilon. 7 I jedan dio posuåa Gospodinova doma odnio je Nebukadnezar u Babilon i stavio ga u svoj dvor u Babilonu. 8 Ostala Jojakimova djela, gadna djela koja je poçinio i sve æto mu se dogodilo, zapisano je u knjizi Izraelovih i Judinih kraljeva.

Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD spoken by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and also put it in writing, saying, 2 “Thus says Cyrus king of Persia: All the kingdoms of the earth the LORD God of heaven has given me. And he has commanded me to build him a house at Jerusalem which is in Judah. 3 Who is there among you of all his people? May his God be with him! Now let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of the LORD God of Israel (he is God), which is in Jerusalem. 4 And whoever remains in any place where he sojourns, let the men of his place help him with silver and gold, with goods and livestock, besides the freewill offerings for the house of God which is in Jerusalem. 5 Then the heads of the fathers’ houses of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests and the Levites, with all those whose spirits God had moved, arose to go up and build the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem. 6 And all those who were around them encouraged them with articles of silver and gold, with goods and livestock, and with precious things, besides all that was willingly offered. 7 King Cyrus also brought out the articles of the house of the LORD, which Nebuchadnezzar had taken from Jerusalem and put in the temple of his gods; 8 and Cyrus king of Persia brought them out by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and counted them out to Sheshbazzar the prince of Judah. 9 This is the number of them: thirty gold platters, one thousand silver platters, twenty-nine knives, 10 thirty gold basins, four hundred and ten silver basins of a similar kind, and one thousand other articles. 11 All the articles of gold and silver were five thousand four hundred. All these Sheshbazzar took with the captives who were brought from Babylon to Jerusalem.

Now these are the people of the province who came back from the captivity, of those who had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away to Babylon, and who returned to Jerusalem and Judah, everyone to his own city. 2 Those who came with Zerubbabel were Jeshua, Nehemiah, Seraiah, Reelaiah, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispar, Bigvai, Rehum, and Baanah. The number of the men of the people of Israel: 3 the people of Parosh, two thousand one hundred and seventy-two; 4 the people of Shephatiah, three hundred and seventy-two; 5 the people of Arah, seven hundred and seventyfive; 6 the people of Pahath-Moab, of the people of Jeshua and Joab, two thousand eight hundred and twelve; 7 the people of Elam, one thousand two hundred and fifty-four; 8 the people of Zattu, nine hundred and forty-five; 9 the people of Zaccai, seven hundred and sixty;

U prvoj godini vladanja perzijskoga kralja Kira, da bi se ispunila rijeç Gospodinova, objavljena na Jeremijina usta, potaknuo je Gospodinov duh perzijskoga kralja Kira, da oglasi po svemu svojem kraljevstvu usmeno i pismeno, govoreøi: 2 “Ovako govori Kir, kralj perzijski: Sva zemaljska kraljevstva dao mi je Bog, Gospodin u nebu. I on mi je zapovjedio da mu sagradim dom u Jeruzalemu u Judeji. 3 Tko izmeåu vas svih pripada njegovu narodu, neka Gospodin, njegov Bog, bude s njim i neka ide gore u Jeruzalem u Judeji i neka ondje gradi dom Gospodina, Boga Izraelova, Boga koji prebiva u Jeruzalemu. 4 Svuda gdje se joæ zadrœavaju ostaci naroda neka ih stanovnici mjesta potpomognu srebrom i zlatom, imetkom i stokom, pokraj dragovoljnih darova za Boœji dom u Jeruzalemu.” 5 I tako se zaputili od glavara obiteljskih u Judi i Benjaminu i od sveøenika i Levita svima kojima je to nadahnuo Bog, da opet sagrade Gospodinov dom u Jeruzalemu. 6 I svi, koji su s njima stanovali, potpomogli su ih posuåem srebrnim, zlatom, imetkom, stokom i dragocjenim darovima, pokraj svih dragovoljnih prinosa za Boœji dom u Jeruzalemu. 7 A kralj Kir je iznio predmete Gospodinova doma koje je bio odnio iz Jeruzalema Nebukadnezar i stavio ga u hram svojega boga. 8 I to je dao iznijeti perzijski kralj Kir preko rizniçara Mitredata, koji ga izbrojio judejskomu vladaru Æeæbasaru. 9 Ovo mu je broj: trideset zlatnih zdjela, tisuøa srebrnih zdjela, dvadeset i devet noœeva, 10 trideset zlatnih çaæa, çetiri stotine i deset srebrnih çaæa sliçne vrste, tisuøu drugoga posuåa. 11 Svega pet tisuøa i çetiri stotine zlatnih i srebrnih predmeta. Sve je to ponio Æeæbasar sobom kad su bili prognanici povedeni iz Babilona u Jeruzalem.

And when the seventh month had come, and the sons of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered together as one man to Jerusalem. 2 Then Jeshua the son of Jozadak and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and his brethren, arose and built the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings on it, as it is written in the law of Moses the man of God. 3 Though fear had come upon them because of the people of those countries, they set the altar on its bases; and they offered burnt offerings on it to the LORD, both the morning and evening burnt offerings. 4 They also kept the Feast of Tabernacles, as it is written, and offered the daily burnt offerings in the number required by ordinance for each day; 5 and afterward they offered the regular burnt offering, and those for New Moons and for all the appointed feasts of the LORD that were consecrated, and those of everyone who willingly offered a freewill

Now when the adversaries of Judah and Benjamin heard that the descendants of the captivity were building the temple of the LORD God of Israel, 2 they came to Zerubbabel and the heads of the fathers’ houses, and said to them, “Let us build with you, for we seek your God as you do; and we have sacrificed to him since the days of Esarhaddon king of Assyria, who brought us here.” 3 But Zerubbabel and Jeshua and the rest of the heads of the fathers’ houses of Israel said to them, “You may do nothing with us to build a house for our God; but we alone will build to the LORD God of Israel, as king Cyrus the king of Persia has commanded us.” 4 Then the people of the land tried to discourage the people of Judah. They troubled them in building, 5 and hired counselors against them to frustrate their purpose all the days of Cyrus king of Persia, even until the reign of Darius king of Persia. 6 Now in the reign of Ahasuerus, in the beginning of his reign, they wrote an accusation against the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem. 7 In the days of Artaxerxes also, Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabeel, and the rest of their companions wrote to Artaxerxes king of Persia; and the letter was written in Aramaic script, and translated into the Aramaic language. 8 Rehum the commander and Shimshai the scribe

Smetnje u zidanju doma

Kad su çuli Judini i Benjaminovi neprijatelji, da oni koji su se vratili iz ropstva zidaju dom Gospodinu, Bogu Izraelovu, 2 doæli su k Zerubabelu i k obiteljskim glavarima i zatraœili od njih: “Htjeli bismo graditi s vama jer ætujemo vaæega Boga kao i vi i œrtvujemo njemu od dana asirskoga kralja Esar Hadona, koji nas je doveo ovamo.” 3 A Zerubabel, Jeæua i ostali obiteljski i izraelski glavari odgovorili im: “Mi ne smijemo svojem Bogu zidati dom zajedno s vama. Mi øemo ga sami podignuti Gospodinu, Bogu Izraelovu, kako nam je zapovjedio kralj Kir, kralj perzijski.” 4 Onda su stanovnici zemlje gledali da obeshrabre judejski narod i smetao im kod zidanja. 5 I potkupili su visoke çinovnike protiv njih da osujete njihovu namjeru. Tako je ostalo za sve dane vladanja perzijskoga kralja Kira do vladanja perzijskog kralja Darija. 6 I pod vladanjem Ahasvera, u poçetku njegova vladanja, sastavili su tuœbu protiv stanovnika Jude i Jeruzalema. 7 I za vremena Artakserksova uprave Biælam, Mitredat, Tabel s ostalom svojom braøom pismo Artakserksu, perzijskomu kralju. Tuœba je bila sastavljena na aramejskom pismu i jeziku. 8 Predstojnik Rehum i pisar Æimæaj napisali su izvjeætaj kralju Artakserksu protiv Jeruzalema

Then king Darius issued a decree, and a search was made in the archives, where the treasures were stored in Babylon. 2 And at Achmetha, in the palace that is in the province of Media, a scroll was found, and in it a record was written thus: 3 “In the first year of king Cyrus, king Cyrus issued a decree concerning the house of God at Jerusalem: ‘Let the house be rebuilt, the place where they offered sacrifices; and let the foundations of it be firmly laid, its height sixty cubits and its width sixty cubits, 4 with three rows of heavy stones and one row of new

Now after these things, in the reign of Artaxerxes king of Persia, Ezra the son of Seraiah, the son of Azariah, the son of Hilkiah, 2 the son of Shallum, the son of Zadok, the son of Ahitub, 3 the son of Amariah, the son of Azariah, the son of Meraioth, 4 the son of Zerahiah, the son of Uzzi, the son of Bukki, 5 the son of Abishua, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the chief priest– 6 this Ezra came up from Babylon; and he was a skilled scribe in the law of Moses, which the LORD God of Israel had given. The king granted him all his request, according to the hand of the LORD his God upon him. 7 Some of the sons of Israel, the priests, the Levites, the singers, the gatekeepers, and the Nethinim came up to Jerusalem in the seventh year of King Artaxerxes. 8 And Ezra came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which was in the seventh year of the king. 9 On the first day of the first month he began his journey from Babylon, and on the first day of the fifth month he came to Jerusalem, according to the good hand of his God upon him. 10 For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the law of the LORD, and to do it, and to teach statutes and ordinances in Israel. 11 Now this is the copy of the letter that King Artaxerxes gave Ezra the priest, the scribe, expert in the words of the commandments of the LORD, and of his statutes to Israel: 12 “Artaxerxes, king of kings, To Ezra the priest, a scribe of the law of the God of heaven: Perfect peace, and so forth. 13 I issue a decree that all those of the people of Israel and the priests and Levites in my realm, who volunteer to go up to Jerusalem, may go with you. 14 And whereas you are being sent by the king and his seven counselors to inquire concerning Judah and Jerusalem, with regard to the law of your God which is in your hand; 15 and whereas you are to carry the silver and gold which the king and his counselors have freely offered to the God of Israel, whose dwelling is in Jerusalem; 16 and whereas all the silver and gold that you may find in all the province of Babylon, along with the freewill offering of the people and the priests, are to be freely offered for the house of their God in Jerusalem– 17 now therefore, be careful to buy with this money bulls, rams, and lambs, with their grain offerings and their drink offerings, and offer them on the altar of the house of your God in Jerusalem. 18 And whatever seems good to you and your brethren to do with the rest of the silver and the gold, do it according to the will of your God. 19 Also the articles that are given to you for the service of the house of your God, deliver in full before the God of Jerusalem. 20 And whatever more may be needed for the house of your God, which you may have occasion to provide, pay for it from the king’s treasury. 21 And I, even I, Artaxerxes the king, do issue a decree to all the treasurers who are in the region beyond

Put Ezrin u Jeruzalem

Poslije ovih dogaåaja za vladanja perzijskoga kralja Artakserksa vratio se Ezra, sin Seraje, sina Azarije, sina Hilkije, 2 sina Æaluma, sina Sadoka, sina Ahituba, 3 sina Amarije, sina Azarije, sina Merajota, 4 sina Zarahije, sina Uzije, sina Bukija, 5 sina Abiæua, sina Finehasa, sina Eleazara, sina velikog sveøenika Arona. 6 Ovaj Ezra vratio se iz Babilona. Bio je knjiœevnik, vjeæt Mojsijevu zakonu koji je bio dao Gospodin, Bog Izraelov. Jer je ruka Gospodina, njegova Boga, bila nad njim, dopustio mu je kralj sve æto je zaœelio. 7 Ujedno je doælo u Jeruzalem mnoætvo Izraelovih sinova, sveøenika, Levita, pjevaça, vratara i netineja. Bilo je to sedme godine kralja Artakserksa. 8 On je doæao u Jeruzalem petoga mjeseca sedme kraljeve godine. 9 Prvoga dana prvoga mjeseca bila je zapovijed polaska iz Babilona, i prvoga dana petoga mjeseca doæao je on u Jeruzalem, jer je dobrostiva ruka njegova Boga bila nad njim. 10 Jer je Ezra bio upravio svoju teœnju na to da istraœuje Boœji zakon i da ga izvræuje i da pouçava u Izraelu zakon i pravo. 11 Ovako glasi pismo koje je dao kralj Artakserks knjiœevniku i sveøeniku Ezri, tumaçitelju Gospodinovih zapovijedi i uredaba u Izraelu: 12 “Artakserks, kralj nad kraljevima, sveøeniku Ezri, tumaçitelju zakona Boga nebeskoga–i tako dalje. 13 Ja izdajem zapovijed da svaki koji u mojem kraljevstvu od Izraelova naroda, njegovih sveøenika i Levita hoøe poøi od svoje volje u Jeruzalem, smije iøi s tobom. 14 Jer ti si poslan od kralja i njegovih sedam savjetnika da istraœiæ prilike u Judeji i Jeruzalemu na temelju zakona svojega Boga, koji je u tvojoj ruci; 15 da odneseæ srebro i zlato, koje su kralj i njegovi savjetnici darovali za Boga Izraelova, koji prebiva u Jeruzalemu; 16 i sve srebro i zlato æto øeæ dobiti u svoj babilonskoj pokrajini, uz milostinju naroda i sveøenika æto je oni priloœe za dom svojega Boga u Jeruzalemu. 17 Prema tomu kupi briœno za taj novac junaca, ovnova i janjaca s prinosima i njihovim naljevima i prinesi ih na œrtveniku doma vaæega Boga u Jeruzalemu! 18 Æto se tebi i tvojoj braøi svidi da uçinite s ostalim srebrom i zlatom, to uçinite po volji svojega Boga! 19 Posuåe æto ti je bilo dano za sluœbu u domu tvojega Boga, predaj pred Bogom u Jeruzalemu! 20 Drugo æto ustreba domu tvojega Boga, te bi ti joæ imao potroæiti, smijeæ namiriti iz kraljevske blagajne. 21 S tim ja, kralj Artakserks, izdajem zapovijed svim blagajnicima s onu stranu Rijeke. Sve æto zatraœi od vas sveøenik Ezra, tumaçitelj zakona nebeskoga kralja, mora se toçno uçiniti, 22 do stotinu talenata srebra, stotinu kora pæenice, stotinu bata vina, stotinu bata ulja i soli

For why should there be wrath against the goga sluge toga Boœjega doma! 25 A ti, Ezra, po mudrosti svojega Boga æto je realm of the king and his sons? 24 Also we inform you that it shall not be lawful to imaæ, postavi suce i upravitelje koji øe suditi impose tax, tribute, or custom on any of the priests, svemu narodu s onu stranu Rijeke, naime, Levites, singers, gatekeepers, Nethinim, or servants svima onima koji znaju zakone tvojega Boga!

I tako sam se ja odvaœio, jer put such a thing as this in the king’s heart, to beautify je ruka Gospodina, mojega Boga bila nada mnom, i skupio glavare izraelske, koji su trebali the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem, 28 and has extended mercy to me before the king poøi sa mnom. and his counselors, and before all the king’s mighty princes. So I was encouraged, as the hand of the LORD my God was upon me; and I gathered chief men of Israel to go up with me.

These are the heads of their fathers’ houses, and this is the genealogy of those who went up with me from Babylon, in the reign of King Artaxerxes: 2 of the sons of Phinehas, Gershom; of the sons of Ithamar, Daniel; of the sons of David, Hattush; 3 of the sons of Shecaniah, of the sons of Parosh, Zechariah; and registered with him were one hundred and fifty males; 4 of the sons of Pahath-Moab, Elihoenai the son of Zerahiah, and with him two hundred males; 5 of the sons of Shechaniah, Ben-Jahaziel, and with him three hundred males; 6 of the sons of Adin, Ebed the son of Jonathan, and with him fifty males; 7 of the sons of Elam, Jeshaiah the son of Athaliah, and with him seventy males; 8 of the sons of Shephatiah, Zebadiah the son of Michael, and with him eighty males; 9 of the sons of Joab, Obadiah the son of Jehiel, and with him two hundred and eighteen males; 10 of the sons of Shelomith, Ben-Josiphiah, and with him one hundred and sixty males; 11 of the sons of Bebai, Zechariah the son of Bebai, and with him twenty-eight males; 12 of the sons of Azgad, Johanan the son of Hakkatan, and with him one hundred and ten males; 13 of the last sons of Adonikam, whose names are these–Eliphelet, Jeiel, and Shemaiah–and with them sixty males; 14 also of the sons of Bigvai, Uthai and Zabbud, and with them seventy males. 15 Now I gathered them by the river that flows to Ahava, and we camped there three days. And I looked among the people and the priests, and found none of the sons of Levi there. 16 Then I sent for Eliezer, Ariel, Shemaiah, Elnathan, Jarib, Elnathan, Nathan, Zechariah, and Meshullam, leaders; also for Joiarib and Elnathan, men of understanding.

When these things were done, the leaders came to me, saying, “The people of Israel and the priests and the Levites have not separated themselves from the peoples of the lands, with respect to the abominations of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites. 2 For they have taken some of their daughters as wives for themselves and their sons, so that the holy seed is intermingled with the peoples of those lands. Indeed, the hand of the leaders and rulers has been foremost in this trespass.” 3 So when I heard this thing, I tore my garment and my robe, and plucked out some of the hair of my head and beard, and sat down astonished. 4 Then everyone who trembled at the words of the God of Israel assembled to me, because of the transgression of those who had been carried away captive, and I sat astonished until the evening sacrifice. 5 At the evening sacrifice I arose from my fasting; and having torn my garment and my robe, I fell on my knees and spread out my hands to the LORD my God, 6 and said, “O my God: I am too ashamed and humiliated to lift up my face to you, my God; for our iniquities have risen higher than our heads, and our guilt has grown up to the heavens. 7 Since the days of our fathers to this day we have been very guilty, and for our iniquities we, our kings, and our priests have been delivered into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, to plunder, and to humiliation, as it is this day. 8 And now for a little while grace has been shown from the LORD our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a peg in his holy place, that our God may enlighten our eyes and give us a measure of revival in our bondage. 9 For we were slaves. Yet our God did not forsake us in our bondage; but he extended mercy to us in the sight of the kings of Persia, to revive us, to repair the house of our God, to rebuild its ruins, and to give us a wall in Judah and Jerusalem. 10 And now, O our God, what shall we say after this? For we have forsaken your commandments, 11 which you have commanded by your servants the prophets, saying, ‘The land which you are entering to possess is an unclean land, with the uncleanness of the peoples of the lands, with their abominations which have filled it from one end to another with their impurity. 12 Now therefore, do not give your daughters as wives for their sons, nor take their daughters to your sons; and never seek their peace or prosperity, that you may be strong and eat the good of the land, and leave it as an inheritance to your children forever.’ 13 And after all that has come upon us for our evil deeds and for our great guilt, since you our God have punished us less than our iniquities deserve, and have given us such deliverance as this, 14 should we again break your commandments, and join in marriage with the people of these abominations? Would you not be angry with us until you had consumed us, so that there would be no remnant or survivor? 15 O LORD God of Israel, you are righteous, for we are left as a remnant, as it is this day. Here we are before you, in our guilt, though no one can stand

Œalost Ezrina zbog mjeæovitih brakova

Kad se to bilo svræilo, pristupili su k meni predstojnici, govoreøi: “Izraelov narod, sveøenici i Leviti nisu se odvojili od zemaljskih naroda unatoç njihovim grozotama, naime, od Kanaanaca, Hitejaca, Perizejaca, Jebusejaca, Amonaca, Moabaca, Egipøana i Amorejaca. 2 Oni, dapaçe, uzeli su njihove køeri za œene sebi i svojim sinovima. Tako se pomijeæa sveti rod sa stanovnicima zemlje. Glavari i predstojnici bili su prvi u toj opaçini.” 3 Kad sam to çuo, razderao sam donju svoju haljinu i svoju gornju odjeøu, raæçupao sam sebi kosu na svojoj glavi i na svojoj bradi i sjeo sam duboko potresen. 4 Onda su se skupili oko mene svi koji su se bojali zapovijedi Boga Izraelova zbog opaçine onih koji su se vratili iz ropstva. A ja sam ostao sjedeøi duboko potresen do veçernje œrtve. 5 O veçernjoj œrtvi ustao sam duboko tuœan, razderao sam opet donju svoju haljinu i gornju svoju odjeøu, pao sam niçice na svoja koljena, raæirio sam svoje ruke Gospodinu, svojem Bogu, 6 i pomolio sam se: “Boœe moj, stidim se i bojim se podignuti svoje lice tebi, Boœe moj, jer naæa zlodjela narasla nama preko glave, i krivnja je naæa doprla do nebesa. 7 Od vremena svojih otaca do danas mi smo u velikoj krivnji i zbog naæih zlodjela bili smo mi, naæi kraljevi i sveøenici, predani zemaljskim kraljevima pod maç, u ropstvo, u grabeœ i u javnu sramotu, kako je sluçaj danas. 8 Sada nam doduæe doælo za ças milosråe od Gospodina, naæega Boga, s tim da nam joæ ostavi ostatak i na svojem svetom mjestu dao nam dom, da bi naæ Bog opet prosvijetlio oçi naæe i dao nam malo nove œivotne snage u naæemu ropstvu. 9 Doduæe, mi smo joæ uvijek robovi, ali nas naæ Bog nije ostavio u naæemu ropstvu, nego nam dao da naåemo milost pred perzijskim kraljevima, tako da su nam oni dali toliko œivotne slobode, te smo mogli dom svojega Boga opet podignuti i uçiniti da nanovo ustane iz svojih ruæevina i dao nam obranu u Judeji i Jeruzalemu. 10 A æto da sada, Boœe, reknemo poslije takvih dogaåaja? Jer smo ostavili tvoje zapovijedi, 11 koje si nam dao preko svojih sluga, proroka, kad si zapovjedio: ‘Zemlja u koju idete da je zauzmete oneçiæøena je neçistoøom zemaljskih naroda zbog odurnosti kojima se napunila od jednoga kraja do drugoga u svojoj neçistoøi. 12 Ne dajite, zato, nikada svojih køeri za njihove sinove, niti uzimajte njihove køeri za svoje sinove! Ne traœite nikada i nigdje njihova dobra i njihove koristi, da budete jaki i da moœete uœivati dobra zemlje i svoju djecu imati za baætinike dovijeka.’ 13 Poslije svega toga æto je doælo na nas zbog naæih zlih djela i naæe velike krivnje, premda si nas, Boœe naæ, kaznio manje nego æto su to naæe opaçine zasluœile, i ostavio si nam ovaj ostatak, 14 zar øemo ponovo prestupati tvoje zapovijedi i sprijateljiti se s ovim gadnim narodima? Ne bi

Ezra before you because of this!”

-570Ezra li nas morao kazniti sve do uniætenja tako da viæe ne preostane ni jedan ostatak? 15 Ali ti si, Gospodine, Boœe Izraelov, dobrostiv, jer mi smo danas ostali kao spaæeni. Evo, mi stojimo pred tobom sa svojom takvom krivnjom da ne moœe za to stajati ni jedan pred tobom.”

Now while Ezra was praying, and while he was confessing, weeping, and bowing down before the house of God, a very large congregation of men, women, and children assembled to him from Israel; for the people wept very bitterly. 2 And Shechaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, spoke up and said to Ezra, “We have trespassed against our God, and have taken pagan wives from the peoples of the land; yet now there is hope in Israel in spite of this. 3 Now therefore, let us make a covenant with our God to put away all these wives and those who have been born to them, according to the counsel of my master and of those who tremble at the commandment of our God; and let it be done according to the law. 4 Arise, for this matter is your responsibility. We also will be with you. Be of good courage, and do it.” 5 Then Ezra arose, and made the leaders of the priests, the Levites, and all Israel swear an oath that they would do according to this word. So they swore an oath. 6 Then Ezra rose up from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Jehohanan the son of Eliashib; and when he came there, he ate no bread and drank no water, for he mourned because of the guilt of those from the captivity. 7 And they issued a proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem to all the descendants of the captivity, that they must gather at Jerusalem, 8 and that whoever would not come within three days, according to the counsel of the leaders and elders, all his property would be confiscated, and he himself would be separated from the congregation of those from the captivity. 9 So all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered at Jerusalem within three days. It was the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month; and all the people sat in the open square of the house of God, trembling because of this matter and because of heavy rain. 10 Then Ezra the priest stood up and said to them, “You have transgressed and have taken pagan wives, adding to the guilt of Israel. 11 Now therefore, make confession to the LORD God of your fathers, and do his will; separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from the pagan wives.” 12 Then all the congregation answered and said with a loud voice, “Yes! As you have said, so we must do. 13 But there are many people; it is the season for heavy rain, and we are not able to stand outside. Nor is this the work of one or two days, for there are many of us who have transgressed in this matter. 14 Please, let the leaders of our entire congregation stand; and let all those in our cities who have taken pagan wives come at appointed times, together with the elders and judges of their cities, until the fierce wrath of our God is turned away from us in this matter.” 15 Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahaziah the son of Tikvah opposed this, and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite gave them support. 16 Then the descendants of the captivity did so. And Ezra the priest, with certain heads of the fathers’

Judejci otpuætaju œene strankinje

Dok se Ezra tako molio i plaçuøi pred Boœjim domom, prostrt priznavao svoju krivnju, skupilo se oko njega veliko mnoætvo Izraelaca, ljudi, œena i djece, i narod je gorko plakao. 2 Onda je progovorio Æekanija, sin Jehielov, od Elamovih sinova Ezri, govoreøi: “Mi smo sagrijeæili protiv svojega Boga æto smo uzimali œene strankinje iz zemaljskih naroda, ali za to joæ ima uzdanja Izraelu. 3 Mi øemo se sada svojem Bogu sveçano obvezati, da øemo otpustiti sve œene s njihovom djecom, ako ti, gospodaru, i oni koji se boje zakona naæega Boga, drœite to za korisno. Po zakonu neka se postupa! 4 Ustani, jer je ovo tvoj posao, i mi smo uza te. Budi hrabar i uçini to!” 5 Ezra je ustao i zakleo glavare sveøenika, Levita i svega Izraela da uçine po tom prijedlogu; i zakleli su se. 6 Potom je ostavio Ezra mjesto pred Boœjim domom i otiæao u sobu Johanana, sina Elijaæibova. On je uæao ondje, ali nije niæta jeo ni pio, jer je bio rastuœen zbog opaçine onih koji su se vratili iz ropstva. 7 Onda su oglasili po Judeji i Jeruzalemu da se svi koji su se vratili iz ropstva moraju skupiti u Jeruzalemu. 8 Onomu koji ne bi doæao za tri dana prema zakljuçku glavara i starjeæina, uniætit øe se sve æto ima, a on sam bit øe odstranjen iz zajednice onih koji su se vratili iz ropstva. 9 I skupili se svi ljudi od Jude i Benjamina za tri dana u Jeruzalem. Bilo je to devetoga mjeseca, dvadesetoga dana u mjesecu. Sav je narod sjedio na trgu pred Boœjim domom, dræøuøi zbog te stvari i od jake kiæe. 10 Sveøenik Ezra podigao se i rekao im: “Svi ste sagrijeæili kad ste se oœenili strankinjama, te ste s tim joæ umnoœili Izraelovu krivnju. 11 Zato sad priznajte krivnju pred Gospodinom, Bogom svojih otaca, i çinite po njegovoj volji! Odvojite se od zemaljskih naroda i od œena strankinja!” 12 Sva skupætina je odgovorila u sav glas, govoreøi: “Spremni smo tako uçiniti kako si nam rekao. 13 Ali naroda ima mnogo i kiæovito je vrijeme, ne moœe se zato ostati vani. I ta stvar ne da se svræiti u jedan ili u dva dana, jer nas ima veoma mnogo koji smo u tom sagrijeæili. 14 Naæi predstojnici neka bi jamçili za svu zajednicu da svi, koji su u naæim gradovima doveli kuøi œene strankinje, doæli su u odreåeno vrijeme i s njima starjeæine i suci pojedinih gradova, dokle se od nas ne odvrati œestoki gnjev naæega Boga za tu stvar.” 15 Samo Jonatan, sin Asahelov, i Jahzija, sin Tikvin, nastupili su protiv. Meæulam i Levit Æabetaj podupirali su ga. 16 Ali oni koji su se vratili iz ropstva uçinili su po gornjem prijedlogu. Sveøenik Ezra izabrao je sebi po pojedinim obiteljima ljude, obiteljske glavare, zabiljeœivæi sve poimence. Ovi su

Nehemiah THE BOOK OF NEHEMIAH

The words of Nehemiah the son of Hachaliah. It came to pass in the month of Chislev, in the twentieth year, as I was in Shushan the citadel, 2 that Hanani one of my brethren came with men from Judah; and I asked them concerning the Jews who had escaped, who had survived the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem. 3 And they said to me, “The survivors who are left from the captivity in the province are there in great distress and reproach. The wall of Jerusalem is also broken down, and its gates are burned with fire.” 4 So it was, when I heard these words, that I sat down

Upitao sam ih za braøu Judejce, za ostatak, koji je bio utekao ropstvu i za Jeruzalem. 3 Oni su mi odgovorili: “Oni koji su preostali od ropstva, nalaze se ondje u zemlji u velikoj nevolji i sramoti.

And it happened in the month of Nisan, in the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes, when wine was before him, that I took the wine and gave it to the king. Now I had never been sad in his presence before. 2 Therefore the king said to me, “Why is your face sad, since you are not sick? This is nothing but sorrow of heart.” Then I became dreadfully afraid, 3 and said to the king, “May the king live forever! Why should my face not be sad, when the city, the place of my fathers’ tombs, lies waste, and its gates are burned with fire?” 4 Then the king said to me, “What do you request?” So I prayed to the God of heaven. 5 And I said to the king, “If it pleases the king, and if your servant has found favor in your sight, I ask that you send me to Judah, to the city of my fathers’ tombs, that I may rebuild it.” 6 So the king said to me (the queen also sitting beside him), “How long will your journey be? And when will you return?” So it pleased the king to send me; and I set him a time. 7 Furthermore I said to the king, “If it pleases the king, let letters be given to me for the governors of the region beyond the River, that they must permit me to pass through till I come to Judah, 8 and a letter to Asaph the keeper of the king’s forest, that he must give me timber to make beams for the gates of the citadel which pertains to the temple, for the city wall, and for the house that I will occupy.” And the king granted them to me according to the good hand of my God upon me. 9 Then I went to the governors in the region beyond the River, and gave them the king’s letters. Now the king had sent captains of the army and horsemen with me. 10 When Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah the Ammonite official heard of it, they were deeply disturbed

Nehemiji dopuætenje kralja da sazida Jeruzalem

Dogodilo se mjeseca Nisana godine dvadesete kraljevanja Artakserksova. Pred kraljem je stajalo vino, ja sam uzeo vino i pruœio ga kralju, ali nisam htio da on opazi da sam bio œalostan. 2 Ali me upitao kralj: “Zaæto ti je lice tako œalosno nisi li bolestan? Sigurno imaæ kakvu brigu u srcu.” Ja sam se vrlo prestraæio 3 i odgovorio sam kralju: “Da je œiv kralj dovijeka! Kako ne bih bio œalostan, kad je grad, gdje su grobovi mojih otaca, opustoæeni i njegova vrata su ognjem spaljena!” 4 Kralj me upitao: “Imaæ li kakvu molbu?” Onda sam se pomolio Bogu nebeskomu 5 I odgovorio sam kralju: “Ako misli kralj da je dobro i ako ti je mio tvoj sluga, poæalji me u Judeju u grad, gdje su grobovi mojih otaca, da ga opet sagradim!” 6 A kralj me upitao i njegova œena, koja je sjedila do njega: “Kako bi dugo trajao tvoj put, kad øeæ opet doøi natrag!” I pristao je kralj i pustio me da idem, a ja sam mu rekao vrijeme. 7 Onda sam joæ rekao kralju: “Ako je milo kralju da mi se dade popratno pismo za namjesnike s onu stranu Rijeke, da me puste proøi dok ne doåem u Judeju, 8 i pismo za Asafa, kraljevskog çuvara æume, da mi dade drva, da napravim vrata za tvråavu, za dom, za gradski zid i za kuøu u kojoj øu biti.” I to mi je dao kralj, jer je bila milostiva ruka mojega Boga nada mnom. 9 Kad sam doæao k namjesnicima s onu stranu Rijeke, predao im kraljevska popratna pisma. A kralj je poslao sa mnom stotnike i konjanike. 10 Kad su çuli to Sanbalat, Horonjanin i Tobija, sluga Amonac, bilo im je vrlo mrsko da je bio doæao netko da se pobrine za dobro Izraelove djece.

Then Eliashib the high priest rose up with his brethren the priests and built the Sheep Gate; they consecrated it and hung its doors. They built as far as the Tower of the Hundred, and consecrated it, then as far as the Tower of Hananeel. 2 Next to Eliashib the men of Jericho built. And next to them Zaccur the son of Imri built. 3 Also the sons of Hassenaah built the Fish Gate; they laid its beams and hung its doors with its bolts and bars. 4 And next to them Meremoth the son of Urijah, the son of Koz, made repairs. Next to them Meshullam the son of Berechiah, the son of Meshezabeel, made repairs. Next to them Zadok the son of Baana made repairs. 5 Next to them the Tekoites made repairs; but their nobles did not put their shoulders to the work of their LORD. 6 Moreover Jehoiada the son of Paseah and Meshullam the son of Besodeiah repaired the Old Gate; they laid its beams and hung its doors, with its bolts and bars. 7 And next to them Melatiah the Gibeonite, Jadon the Meronothite, the men of Gibeon and Mizpah, repaired the residence of the governor of the region beyond the River. 8 Next to him Uzziel the son of Harhaiah, one of the goldsmiths, made repairs. Also next to him Hananiah, one of the perfumers, made repairs; and

But it so happened, when Sanballat heard that we were rebuilding the wall, that he was furious and very indignant, and mocked the Jews. 2 And he spoke before his brethren and the army of Samaria, and said, “What are these feeble Jews doing? Will they fortify themselves? Will they offer sacrifices? Will they complete it in a day? Will they revive the stones from the heaps of rubbish–stones that are burned?” 3 Now Tobiah the Ammonite was beside him, and he said, “Whatever they build, if even a fox goes up on it, he will break down their stone wall.” 4 Hear, O our God, for we are despised; turn their reproach on their own heads, and give them as plunder to a land of captivity! 5 Do not cover their iniquity, and do not let their sin be blotted out from before you; for they have provoked you to anger before the builders. 6 So we built the wall, and the entire wall was joined together up to half its height, for the people had a mind to work. 7 Now it happened, when Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabs, the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites heard that the walls of Jerusalem were being restored and the gaps were beginning to be closed, that they became very angry, 8 and all of them conspired together to come and attack Jerusalem and create confusion. 9 Nevertheless we made our prayer to our God, and because of them we set a watch against them day and night. 10 Then Judah said, “The strength of the laborers is failing, and there is so much rubbish that we are not able to build the wall.” 11 And our adversaries said, “They will neither know nor see anything, till we come into their midst and kill them and cause the work to cease.” 12 So it was, when the Jews who dwelt near them came, that they told us ten times, “From whatever place you turn, they will be upon us.” 13 Therefore I positioned men behind the lower parts of the wall, at the openings; and I set the people according to their families, with their swords, their spears, and their bows. 14 And I looked, and arose and said to the nobles, to the princes, and to the rest of the people, “Do not be afraid of them. Remember the LORD, great and awesome, and fight for your brethren, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your houses.” 15 And it happened, when our enemies heard that it was known to us, and that God had brought their counsel to nothing, that all of us returned to the wall, everyone to his work. 16 So it was, from that time on, that half of my servants worked at construction, while the other half held the spears, the shields, the bows, and wore armor; and the leaders were behind all the house of Judah. 17 Those who built on the wall, and those who carried burdens, loaded themselves so that with one hand they worked at construction, and with the other held a weapon. 18 Every one of the builders had his sword girded at

Nove navale neprijateljske. Otpor Nehemijin

Kad je doznao Sanbalat da mi gradimo zid, rasrdio se i vrlo razgnjevio i rugao se Judejcima. 2 I rekao im pred svojom braøom i pred samarijskim narodom: “Æto rade ti nemoøni Judejci? Hoøe li im se volja ispuniti? Hoøe li œrtvovati i jednoga dana svræiti? Hoøe li iz ruæevina privesti u œivot kamenje æto je ipak spaljeno?” 3 A Amonac Tobija, æto je stajao uz njega rekao je: “Pusti, neka zidaju; da iskoçi lisica, razruæit øe na komade njihov kameni zid.” 4 Çuj, Boœe naæ, kako smo postali ruglo! Okreni ruglo njihovo na njihovu glavu i daj da budu u zemlji robovi prezira! 5 Ne oprosti im njihova zlodjela! Njihov grijeh neka se ne izbriæe pred tobom, jer su zadali jade onima koji grade! 6 A mi smo dalje zidali zid, i sav je zid bio popravljen do pola visine. Odatle je narod crpio volju za rad. 7 Kad je çuo Sanbalat da je napredovalo popravljanje zidova jeruzalemskih i da su poçeli zatvarati pukotine, vrlo se razgnjevio. 8 Zavjerili su se svi zajedno da doåu i napadnu Jeruzalem i da ga uniæte. 9 A mi smo se molili Bogu i zbog njih postavljali straœu noøu i danju za sigurnost od njih. 10 A Judejci su izjavili: “Klonula je snaga nositeljima i veoma je mnogo podrtina. Nismo u stanju dalje zidati zid.” 11 A naæi su protivnici rekli: “Da ne doznaju i ne opaze dok ne doåemo meåu njih, da ih pobijemo i gradnju prekinemo.” 12 I tako je bilo, kad su doæli Judejci, koji su boravili u njihovoj blizini, i rekli su nam deset puta iz svih mjesta: “Vi se morate povratiti k nama!” 13 Onda ja na mjestima dublje poloœenim iza zida, gdje je bilo slobodne zemlje, ponamjestio sam narod po rodovima poredan s njihovim maçevima, kopljima i lukovima. 14 Kad sam ga bio razgledao, rekao sam starjeæinama, predstojnicima i ostalom narodu: “Ne bojte se njih, nego mislite na Gospodina, velikoga i straænoga, i borite se za svoju braøu, za svoje sinove i køeri, za œene i svoje kuøe!” 15 Kad su çuli naæi neprijatelji da smo doznali i da je Bog uniætio njihovu namjeru, mogli smo se opet vratiti k zidu, svaki na svoj posao. 16 Od onoga dana bila je samo jedna polovica mojih ljudi zaposlena na gradnji, druga je polovica nosila koplje i ætit, lßk i oklop. Iza svega judejskoga naroda stajali su glavari. 17 Oni koji su zidali zid i oni koji su nosili teret bili su tako naoruœani da su jednom rukom radili a druga je drœala oruœje. 18 Svaki od onih koji su bili zaposleni na gradnji imao je maç pripasan uz bedricu i tako je zidao; a trubaç je stajao uz mene. 19 Starjeæinama, predstojnicima i ostalom narodu dao sam ovu zapovijed “Posao je velik i dug, a mi smo razdijeljeni po zidu, daleko jedan od drugoga.

-576Nehemiah Nehemija his side as he built. And the one who sounded the 20 Kad çujete trubu da trubi, onda se strçite k nama, jer øe se naæ Bog boriti za nas.” trumpet was beside me. 19 Then I said to the nobles, the rulers, and the rest 21 Tako smo radili posao. A jedna je polovica of the people, “The work is great and extensive, and drœala koplja od osvita zore do izlaska zvijezda. we are separated far from one another on the wall. 22 Joæ sam zapovjedio narodu: “Svaki sa svo20 Therefore, wherever you hear the sound of the jim slugom neka noøuje u Jeruzalemu, da bi trumpet, rally to us there.

And there was a great outcry of the people and their wives against their Jewish brethren. 2 For there were those who said, “We, our sons, and our daughters are many; therefore let us get grain for them, that we may eat and live.” 3 There were also some who said, “We have mortgaged our lands and vineyards and houses, that we might buy grain because of the famine.” 4 There were also those who said, “We have borrowed money for the king’s tax on our lands and vineyards. 5 Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children as their children; and indeed we are forcing our sons and our daughters to be slaves, and some of our daughters are brought into slavery already. It is not in our power to redeem them, for other men have our lands and vineyards.” 6 And I became very angry when I heard their outcry and these words. 7 After serious thought, I rebuked the nobles and rulers, and said to them, “Each of you is exacting usury from his brother.” So I called a great assembly against them. 8 And I said to them, “According to our ability we have redeemed our Jewish brethren who were sold to the nations. Now indeed, will you even sell your brethren? Or should they be sold to us?” Then they were silenced and found nothing to say. 9 Then I said, “What you are doing is not good. Should you not walk in the fear of our God because of the reproach of the nations, our enemies?” 10 I also, with my brethren and my servants, am lending them money and grain. Please, let us stop this usury! 11 Restore now to them, even this day, their lands, their vineyards, their olive groves, and their houses, also the hundredth part of the money and the grain, the new wine and the oil, that you have charged them.” 12 So they said, “We will restore it, and will require nothing from them; we will do as you say.” Then I called the priests, and required an oath from them that they would do according to this promise. 13 Then I shook out the fold of my garment and said, “So may God shake out each man from his house, and from his property, who does not perform this promise. Even thus may he be shaken out and emptied.” And all the congregation said, “Amen!” and praised the LORD. Then the people did according to this promise. 14 Moreover, from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year until the thirty-second year of King

Nehemija protiv nepravde

Onda su ljudi iz naroda zajedno sa svojim œenama podigli teæke optuœbe protiv svoje judejske braøe. 2 Jer je bilo onih koji su govorili: “Mi imamo mnogo sinova i køeri. Moramo dobiti œita da imamo za jesti i da œivi ostanemo!” 3 Bilo je i onih koji su govorili: “Morali smo zaloœiti svoja polja, vinograde i kuøe da bismo kupili œita u zbog ove gladi!” 4 A bilo je i onih koji su govorili: “Morali smo uzajmiti novaca za kraljevski porez na svoja polja i vinograde. 5 A mi smo od jednakoga mesa i krvi kao naæa braøa. Naæa su djeca isto tako dobra kao njihova djeca. A ipak moramo svoje sinove i køeri davati u ropstvo. Neke naæe køeri veø su postale roblje, a mi ne moœemo niæta uçiniti protiv toga, jer naæa polja i vinogradi pripadaju drugima.” 6 Vrlo sam se rasrdio, kad sam çuo njihove glasne tuœbe i prigovore. 7 Poæto sam u sebi promislio, ukorio sam starjeæine i predstojnike i rekao im: “Vi nameøete lihvu svojoj braøi!” I sazvao sam veliku narodnu skupætinu protiv njih, 8 i rekao sam im: “Mi smo otkupili, kad smo god mogli, svoje judejske zemlje, koje su bile prodane neznaboœaçkim narodima. A vi sad sami prodajete svoju braøu. Dapaçe, prodaju se nama samima.” Oni su æutjeli i nisu znali niæta odgovoriti. 9 Ja sam nastavio: “To æto çinite, nije pravo. Ne treba li vam hoditi u strahu naæega Boga, da nam se ne rugaju naæi neznaboœaçki neprijatelji? 10 I ja, moja braøa i moje sluge, pozajmili smo im mnogo novaca i œita, ali øemo im otpustiti taj zajam i prestati s tim. 11 Vratite im joæ danas njihova polja, njihove vinograde, njihove maslinike i njihove kuøe i otpustite im kamatu za novce, œito, vino i ulje æto ste im zaraçunali!” 12 Oni su odgovorili: “Hoøemo to vratiti i neøemo niæta traœiti od njih i uçinit øemo kako traœiæ” Onda sam pozvao sveøenike i dao sam one zakleti da øe uçiniti po svojem obeøanju. 13 Istreso sam svoja njedra i rekao: “Ovako neka istrese Bog svakoga iz njegove kuøe i posjeda njegova koji ne ispuni svoja obeøanja! Upravo ovako neka se istrese i isprazni!” Sva je zajednica povikala: “Amen!”, hvaleøi Gospodina. I sav je narod çinio kako je bio zakljuçio. 14 Uostalom od onoga vremena, kad mi je kralj

Now it happened when Sanballat, Tobiah, Geshem the Arab, and the rest of our enemies heard that I had rebuilt the wall, and that there were no breaks left in it (though at that time I had not hung the doors in the gates), 2 that Sanballat and Geshem sent to me, saying, “Come, let us meet together in one of the villages in the plain of Ono.” But they thought to do me harm. 3 So I sent messengers to them, saying, “I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down. Why should the work cease while I leave it and go down to you?” 4 But they sent me this message four times, and I answered them in the same manner. 5 Then Sanballat sent his servant to me as before, the fifth time, with an open letter in his hand. 6 In it was written: It is reported among the nations, and Geshem says, that you and the Jews plan to rebel; therefore, according to these rumors, you are rebuilding the wall, that you may be their king. 7 And you have also appointed prophets to proclaim concerning you at Jerusalem, saying, ‘There is a king in Judah!’ Now these matters will be reported to the king. So come, therefore, and let us take counsel together. 8 Then I sent to him, saying, “No such things as you say are being done, but you invent them in your own heart.” 9 For they all were trying to make us afraid, saying, “Their hands will be weakened in the work, and it will not be done.” Now therefore, O God, strengthen my hands. 10 Afterward I came to the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah, the son of Mehetabeel, who was a secret informer; and he said, “Let us meet together in the house of God, within the temple, and let us close the doors of the temple, for they are coming to kill you; indeed, at night they will come to kill you.” 11 And I said, “Should such a man as I flee? And who is there such as I who would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in!” 12 Then I perceived that God had not sent him at all, but that he pronounced this prophecy against me because Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him. 13 For this reason he was hired, that I should be afraid and act that way and sin, so that they might

Spletke neprijatelja. Nehemija dovræuje zid

Kad je doælo do uæiju Sanbalatu, Tobiji i Arapu Geæemu i ostalim naæim neprijateljima da sam sazidao zid i da nije ostalo u njemu pukotina–ipak dotada joæ nisam bio namjestio krila na vratima. 2 Poslali su Sanbalat i Geæem k meni i poruçili mi: “Doåi, odrœat øemo sastanak u jednom selu u Ononskoj dolini!” A oni su mislili zlo za mene. 3 A ja sam im poslao glasnike i poruçio: “U velikom sam poslu i zato ne mogu doøi. Posao bi stao, kad bih ga pustio i doæao k vama.” 4 Tako su slali k meni çetiri puta, i ja sam im uvijek isto odgovorio. 5 Onda je Sanbalat poslao po peti put svojega slugu s otvorenim pismom u ruci. 6 U njemu je bilo pisano: “Ide glas meåu narodima, i Geæem to potvråuje, da vi, ti i Judejci, snujete bunu; zato opet zidaæ zid. Ti sam hoøeæ postati njihov kralj i viæe takvo æto. 7 I da si postavio proroke koji øe te u Jeruzalemu proglasiti judejskim kraljem. I takvi glasovi doøi øe kralju do uæiju. Zato doåi da se dogovorimo!” 8 Nato sam ja poslao k njemu i poruçio mu: “Niæta nema od toga æto tvrdiæ; ti si to sam izmislio.” 9 Jer su nas oni svi htjeli prestraæiti, govoreøi: “Oslabit øe ruka od posla, tako da se ne svræi.” Ali sada o Boœe, ojaçaj moje ruke! 10 Jednoga dana morao sam otiøi u kuøu Æemaji, sinu Delaje, sina Mehetabelova, koji se bio ondje zatvorio. On mi predloœio: “Hajdemo zajedno u Boœji dom, u unutraænjost doma i zakljuçajmo vrata domu; jer øe doøi i ubiti te.” 11 Ali ja sam odgovorio: “Zar da çovjek kakav sam ja, bjeœi? Kako bi jedan, kakav sam ja, mogao iøi u dom i ostati œiv? Ja ne idem ondje.” 12 Spoznao sam da ga Bog nije poslao, nego da je Boœju rijeç meni upravio samo zato jer su ga bili potkupili Tobija i Sanbalat. 13 On je, naime, bio potkupljen da se prestraæim i da onako uçinim i tako sagrijeæim. To bi onda njima posluœilo za zlo ogovaranje i da me ozloglase. 14 Naplati, Boœe moj, Tobiji i Sanbalatu ta njihova djela, i proroçici Noadiji i ostalim proroci-

Njegov sin Johanan bio se God. 17 Moreover in those days the nobles of Judah sent oœenio køerju Meæulama, sina Berekijina. many letters to Tobiah, and the letters of Tobiah 19 I govorili su preda mnom o njegovim dobrim djelima i javljali mu moje izjave. Tobija je slao came to them. 18 For many in Judah were pledged to him, because pisma da me ustraæi. he was the son-in-law of Shechaniah the son of Arah, and his son Jehohanan had married the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah. 19 Also they reported his good deeds before me, and reported my words to him. And Tobiah sent letters to frighten me.

Then it was, when the wall was built and I had hung the doors, when the gatekeepers, the singers, and the Levites had been appointed, 2 that I gave the charge of Jerusalem to my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the leader of the citadel, for he was a faithful man and feared God more than many. 3 And I said to them, “Do not let the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun is hot; and while they stand guard, let them shut the doors and bar them; and appoint guards from among the inhabitants of Jerusalem, one at his watch station and another in front of his own house.” 4 Now the city was large and spacious, but the people in it were few, and the houses were not rebuilt. 5 Then my God put it into my heart to gather the nobles, the rulers, and the people, that they might be registered by genealogy. And I found a register of the genealogy of those who had come up in the first return, and found written in it: 6 These are the people of the province who came back from the captivity, of those who had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away captive, and who returned to Jerusalem and Judah, everyone to his own city. 7 Those who came with Zerubbabel were Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, and Baanah. The number of the men of the people of Israel: 8 the sons of Parosh, two thousand one hundred and seventy-two; 9 the sons of Shephatiah, three hundred and seventy-two; 10 the sons of Arah, six hundred and fifty-two; 11 the sons of Pahath-Moab, of the sons of Jeshua and Joab, two thousand eight hundred and eighteen; 12 the sons of Elam, one thousand two hundred and fifty-four; 13 the sons of Zattu, eight hundred and forty-five; 14 the sons of Zaccai, seven hundred and sixty; 15 the sons of Binnui, six hundred and forty-eight; 16 the sons of Bebai, six hundred and twenty-eight; 17 the sons of Azgad, two thousand three hundred and twenty-two; 18 the sons of Adonikam, six hundred and sixtyseven; 19 the sons of Bigvai, two thousand and sixty-seven;

Popis onih koji su se prvi vratili u Jeruzalem

Kad je bio zid sazidan i kad sam bio namjestio vrata, postavljeni su bili vratari, pjevaçi i Leviti. 2 Svojem bratu Hananiju i gradskom stotniku Hananiji povjerio sam vrhovno zapovjedniætvo nad Jeruzalemom, jer je bio pouzdan, Boga se bojao viæe nego mnogi drugi. 3 Zapovjedio sam im: “Jeruzalemska vrata ne smiju se otvarati dok sunce ne ogrije. U njihovoj nazoçnosti moraju se vrata zatvoriti i staviti prijevornice. Moraju se postaviti straœari i od jeruzalemskih stanovnika, po jedan kao straœa pred svojom vlastitom kuøom” 4 Doduæe bio je grad prostran i velik, ali je u njemu stanovalo samo malo ljudi, i mnoge kuøe joæ nisu bile sagraåene. 5 Onda mi Bog je dao u srce, te sam skupio starjeæine i predstojnike i narod, da se izbroje po plemenima. Pritom sam naæao plemenski rodopis onih koji su se bili najprije vratili iz ropstva, i u njemu zapisano: 6 Ovo su ljudi iz ove pokrajine koji su se vratili iz ropstva i progonstva, koje je nekoø bio odveo Nebukadnezar, babilonski kralj, u progonstvo u Babilon, i sada su se vratili u Jeruzalem i Judeju, svaki u svoj grad. 7 Oni su doæli pod vodstvom Zerubabela, Jeæue, Nehemije, Azarije, Raamije, Nahamanije, Mordekaja, Bilæana, Mispereta, Bigvaja, Nahuma i Baana.

Now all the people gathered together as one man in the open square that was in front of the Water Gate; and they told Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, which the LORD had commanded Israel. 2 So Ezra the priest brought the law before the congregation, of men and women and all who could hear with understanding, on the first day of the seventh month. 3 Then he read from it in the open square that was in front of the Water Gate from morning until midday, before the men and women and those who could understand; and the ears of all the people were attentive to the book of the law. 4 So Ezra the scribe stood on a platform of wood which they had made for the purpose; and beside him, at his right hand, stood Mattithiah, Shema, Anaiah, Urijah, Hilkiah, and Maaseiah; and at his left hand Pedaiah, Mishael, Malchijah, Hashum, Hashbadana, Zechariah, and Meshullam. 5 And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people, for he was standing above all the people; and when he opened it, all the people stood up. 6 And Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God. Then all the people answered, “Amen, Amen!” while lifting up their hands. And they bowed their heads and worshiped the LORD with their faces to the ground. 7 Also Jeshua, Bani, Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodijah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, helped

Çitanje zakona. Sveçana gozba sjenica

Onda se skupio sav narod jednoduæno na slobodnom trgu pred Vodenim vratima. Oni su zatraœili od knjiœevnika Ezre da donese knjigu Mojsijeva zakona, koji je bio dao Gospodin Izraelovim sinovima. 2 Sveøenik Ezra je donio zakon pred skupætinu, pred ljude i œene i sve koji su ga mogli razumjeti, prvoga dana sedmoga mjeseca. 3 Od jutra do podne çitao je on iz knjige zakona, na trgu pred Vodenim vratima, ljudima i œenama i svima koji su mogli razumjeti. Sav je narod pozorno sluæao çitanje knjige zakona. 4 Knjiœevnik Ezra stajao je pritom na drvenom podu koji su bili napravili za ovu svrhu. Uz njega s desne strane su stajali Matitija, Æema, Anaja, Urija, Hilkija i Maaseja: s lijeve mu strane Pedaja, Miæael, Malkija, Haæum, Haæbadana, Zaharija i Meæulam. 5 Ezra je otvorio knjigu pred oçima svega naroda, poæto je stajao poviæe svega naroda, a kad ju je bio otvorio, ustao je sav narod. 6 I Ezra je blagoslovio Gospodina, velikog Boga. Tada je sav narod odgovorio: “Amen, amen!” I podigli su svoje ruke, prignuli su se onda i poklonili se Gospodinu licem do zemlje. 7 Leviti Jeæua, Bani, Æerebja, Jamin, Akub, Æabetaj, Hodija, Maaseja, Kelita, Azarija, Jozabad, Hanan i Pelaja su objaænjavali narodu zakon, a narod je stajao na svojem mjestu. 8 Çitali su iz knjige Boœjega zakona dio po dio i

Now on the twenty-fourth day of this month the sons of Israel were assembled with fasting, in sackcloth, and with dust on their heads. 2 Then those of Israelite lineage separated themselves from all foreigners; and they stood and confessed their sins and the iniquities of their fathers. 3 And they stood up in their place and read from the book of the law of the LORD their God for one-fourth of the day; and for another fourth they confessed and worshiped the LORD their God. 4 Then Jeshua, Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani stood on the stairs of the Levites and cried out with a loud voice to the LORD their God. 5 Then the Levites, Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabniah, Sherebiah, Hodijah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah, said: “Stand up and bless the LORD your God forever and ever! “Blessed be your glorious name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise! 6 You alone are the LORD; you have made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth and all things on it, the seas and all that is in them, and you preserve them all. the host of heaven wor-

Dvadeset çetvrtoga dana toga mjeseca skupili se Izraelovi sinovi posteøi i u kostrijeti i s prahom na glavama. 2 Onda su se Izraelovi sinovi odvojili od svih stranaca, pristupili su i priznali svoje grijehe i zlodjela svojih otaca. 3 Onda se çitalo na mjestu gdje su stajali iz knjige Gospodinova zakona, njihova Boga, tri sata. Onda, klanjajuøi se Gospodinu, svojem Bogu, kajali su se tri sata. 4 Nato Jeæua, Bani, Kadmiel, Æebanija, Buni, Æerebja, Bani i Kenani stupili su na mjesto poviæeno i velikim glasom zazvali Gospodina, svojega Boga. 5 I Leviti Jeæua, Kadmiel, Bani, Haæabneja, Æerebja, Hodija, Æebanija i Petahja govorili su: “Ustanite, hvalite Gospodina, svojega Boga, od vijeka do vijeka! Neka se slavi tvoje slavno ime, uzviæeno iznad svake slave i çasti! 6 Ti si jedini, Gospodine!

Now the leaders of the people dwelt at Jerusalem; the rest of the people cast lots to bring one out of ten to dwell in Jerusalem, the holy city, and nine-tenths were to dwell in other cities. 2 And the people blessed all the men who willingly offered themselves to dwell at Jerusalem. 3 Now these are the heads of the province who dwelt in Jerusalem. (But in the cities of Judah everyone dwelt in his own possession in their cities–Israelites, priests, Levites, Nethinim, and descendants of Solomon’s servants.) 4 Also in Jerusalem dwelt certain of the sons of Judah and of the sons of Benjamin. The sons of Judah: Athaiah the son of Uzziah, the son of Zechariah, the son of Amariah, the son of Shephatiah, the son of Mahalaleel, of the sons of Perez; 5 and Maaseiah the son of Baruch, the son of ColHozeh, the son of Hazaiah, the son of Adaiah, the son of Joiarib, the son of Zechariah, the son of Shiloni. 6 All the sons of Perez who dwelt at Jerusalem were four hundred and sixty-eight valiant men. 7 And these are the sons of Benjamin: Sallu the son of Meshullam, the son of Joed, the son of Pedaiah, the son of Kolaiah, the son of Maaseiah, the son of Ithiel, the son of Jeshaiah; 8 and after him Gabbai and Sallai, nine hundred and twenty-eight. 9 Joel the son of Zichri was their overseer, and Judah the son of Senuah was second over the city. 10 Of the priests: Jedaiah the son of Joiarib, and Jachin; 11 Seraiah the son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, was the leader of the house of God. 12 Their brethren who did the work of the house were eight hundred and twenty-two; and Adaiah the son of Jeroham, the son of Pelaliah, the son of Amzi, the son of Zechariah, the son of Pashhur, the son of Malchijah, 13 and his brethren, heads of the fathers’ houses, were two hundred and forty-two; and Amashai the son of Azareel, the son of Ahzai, the son of Meshillemoth, the son of Immer, 14 and their brethren, mighty men of valor, were one hundred and twenty-eight. Their overseer was Zabdiel the son of one of the great men. 15 Also of the Levites: Shemaiah the son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Bunni; 16 Shabbethai and Jozabad, of the heads of the Levites, had the oversight of the business outside of the house of God; 17 and Mattaniah the son of Micha, the son of Zabdi, the son of Asaph, who was the leader who began the thanksgiving with prayer, and Bakbukiah the second among his brethren, and Abda the son of Shammua, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun. 18 All the Levites in the holy city were two hundred and eighty-four. 19 Moreover the gatekeepers, Akkub, Talmon, and their brethren who kept the gates, were one hundred and seventy-two. 20 And the rest of Israel, of the priests and Levites,

Onda se narodni predstojnici nastanili u Jeruzalemu. Ostali narod je bacio œdrijeb da od deset ljudi iœdrijebaju jednoga koji se morao naseliti u svetom gradu Jeruzalemu, a ostalih devet desetina ostalo bi u gradovima. 2 I narod je zahvaljivao svima koji su se dragovoljno naselili u Jeruzalemu. 3 Ovo su pokrajinski glavari koji su se bili naselili u Jeruzalemu i u Judinim gradovima.

These were the heads of the priests and their brethren in the days of Jeshua. 8 Moreover the Levites were Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, and Mattaniah who led the thanksgiving psalms, he and his brethren. 9 Also Bakbukiah and Unni, their brethren, stood across from them in their duties. 10 Jeshua begot Joiakim, Joiakim begot Eliashib, Eliashib begot Joiada, 11 Joiada begot Jonathan, and Jonathan begot Jaddua. 12 Now in the days of Joiakim, the priests, the heads of the fathers’ houses were: of Seraiah, Meraiah; of Jeremiah, Hananiah; 13 of Ezra, Meshullam; of Amariah, Jehohanan; 14 of Melichu, Jonathan; of Shebaniah, Joseph; 15 of Harim, Adna; of Meraioth, Helkai; 16 of Iddo, Zechariah; of Ginnethon, Meshullam; 17 of Abijah, Zichri; the son of Minjamin; of Moadiah, Piltai; 18 of Bilgah, Shammua; of Shemaiah, Jehonathan; 19 of Joiarib, Mattenai; of Jedaiah, Uzzi; 20 of Sallai, Kallai; of Amok, Eber; 21 of Hilkiah, Hashabiah; and of Jedaiah, Nethaneal. 22 During the reign of Darius the Persian, a record was also kept of the Levites and priests who had been heads of their fathers’ houses in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, Johanan, and Jaddua.

Nehemiah all Israel gave the portions for the singers and the gatekeepers, a portion for each day. They also consecrated holy things for the Levites, and the Levites consecrated them for the sons of Aaron.

On that day they read from the book of Moses in the hearing of the people, and in it was found written that no Ammonite or Moabite should ever come into the congregation of God, 2 because they had not met the sons of Israel with bread and water, but hired Balaam against them to curse them. However, our God turned the curse into a blessing. 3 So it was, when they had heard the law, that they separated all the mixed multitude from Israel. 4 Now before this, Eliashib the priest, having authority over the storerooms of the house of our God, was allied with Tobiah. 5 And he had prepared for him a large room, where previously they had stored the grain offerings, the frankincense, the articles, the tithes of grain, the new wine and oil, which were commanded to be given to the Levites and singers and gatekeepers, and the offerings for the priests. 6 But during all this I was not in Jerusalem, for in the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon I had returned to the king. Then after certain days I obtained leave from the king, 7 and I came to Jerusalem and discovered the evil that Eliashib had done for Tobiah, in preparing a room for him in the courts of the house of God. 8 And it grieved me bitterly; therefore I threw all the household goods of Tobiah out of the room. 9 Then I commanded them to cleanse the rooms; and I brought back into them the articles of the house of God, with the grain offering and the frankincense. 10 I also realized that the portions for the Levites had not been given them; for each of the Levites and the singers who did the work had gone back to his field. 11 So I contended with the rulers, and said, “Why is the house of God forsaken?” And I gathered them together and set them in their place. 12 Then all Judah brought the tithe of the grain and the new wine and the oil to the storehouse. 13 And I appointed as treasurers over the storehouse Shelemiah the priest and Zadok the scribe, and of the Levites, Pedaiah; and next to them was Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah; for they were considered faithful, and their task was to distribute to their brethren. 14 Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and do not wipe out my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for its services! 15 In those days I saw in Judah some people treading wine presses on the Sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and loading donkeys with wine, grapes, figs, and all kinds of burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the Sabbath day. And I warned them about the day on which they were selling provisions. 16 Men of Tyre dwelt there also, who brought in fish and all kinds of goods, and sold them on the Sabbath to the sons of Judah, and in Jerusalem.

Çitanje iz Knjige zakona

U ono vrijeme çitalo se narodu iz Mojsijeve knjige u uæi naroda, i u njoj se naælo napisano da ne smije nikada biti primljen u Boœju zajednicu Amonac i Moabac, 2 jer oni nisu bili izaæli u susret Izraelovim sinovima s kruhom i vodom, nego su najmili Balaama da ih prokune, ali naæ Bog je okrenuo onu kletvu u blagoslov. 3 Kad su çuli taj zakon, odvojili su od Izraela sav strani svijet. 4 Prije toga sveøenik Elijaæib, koji je bio namjeæten nad sobama u domu naæega Boga, Tobijin roåak, 5 bio je uredio njemu veliku sobu, gdje su prije bili spremali œrtvene darove, k∑d, posuåe, desetinu od œita, vina i ulja, pristojbine za Levite, pjevaçe i vratare i prinose za sveøenike. 6 Dok se to dogaåalo, nisam bio u Jeruzalemu, jer trideset druge godine Artakserksa, babilonskoga kralja, bio sam otiæao kralju. Poslije nekog vremena zamolio sam kralja za dopust. 7 I vratio sam se u Jeruzalem i vidio zlo koje je bio uçinio Elijaæib kad je Tobiji uredio sobu u trijemu Boœjega doma. 8 To mi je bilo vrlo neugodno, sve dok nisam dao izbaciti iz sobe sve Tobijino pokuøstvo. 9 Onda sam zapovjedio da se oçiste sobe i onda da se u njih opet unese posuåe Boœjega doma, œrtveni dar i k∑d. 10 Takoåer sam doznao da se Levitima nije bio davao njihov dio, te da su bili otiæli natrag svojim njivama Leviti i pjevaçi koji su trebali vræiti sluœbu. 11 Prekorio sam predstojnike i upitao sam ih: “Zaæto je Boœji dom ostavljen?” Nato sam one opet skupio i postavio ih na njihova mjesta. 12 I sav je Juda donosio desetinu od œita, vina i ulja u spremnice. 13 Za nadzornike nad spremiætima postavio sam sveøenika Æelemju, knjiœevnika Sadoka i Pedaju od Levita, i njima za pomoø Hanana, sina Zakura, sina Matanijina, jer ih se drœalo kao ljude pouzdane. Zato je bio njima povjeren posao da ga dijele svojoj braøi. 14 Spomeni me se, Boœe moj, za to i ne zaboravi dobroçinstva æto sam ih iskazao Boœjemu domu u njegovoj sluœbi! 15 U one dane vidio sam u Judeji gdje gaze u kacama na Subotnji dan, nose snopove, tovare vino na magarce, groœåe, smokve i svakovrsne druge terete, i to dovode u Jeruzalem na Subotnji dan. I opomenuo sam ih da na taj dan ne prodaju œiveœne namirnice. 16 I Tirci koji su stanovali ondje donosili bi ribe i svakovrsnu robu i prodavali na Subotnji dan Judejcima i u Jeruzalemu. 17 Onda sam prekorio judejske glavare i rekao

-589Nehemiah Nehemija 17 Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and sam im: “Æto çinite toliko zlo i oskvrnjujete Subsaid to them, “What evil thing is this that you do, by otnji dan? 18 Nisu li to çinili naæi oçevi i nije li naæ Bog puswhich you profane the Sabbath day? 18 Did not your fathers do thus, and did not our God tio na nas i na ovaj grad sve ovo zlo? Hoøete li bring all this disaster on us and on this city? Yet you joæ veøi gnjev navaliti na Izraela kad oskvrnjubring added wrath on Israel by profaning the Sab- jete Subotnji dan? 19 I çim bi se uoçi Subotnjeg dana smrklo na bath.” 19 So it was, at the gates of Jerusalem, as it began to vratima Jeruzalema, zapovjedio sam da se zabe dark before the Sabbath, that I commanded the tvore sva vrata i zapovjedio da se ne otvaraju gates to be shut, and charged that they must not be do iza Subotnjeg dana. I postavio sam nekoliko opened till after the Sabbath. Then I posted some of svojih ljudi na vratima da se ne unosi nikakav my servants at the gates, so that no burdens would teret na Subotnji dan.” 20 I prenoøili su trgovci i prodavaçi svakovrsne be brought in on the Sabbath day. 20 Now the merchants and sellers of all kinds of robe jedanput ili dvaput vani pred Jeruzalemom, wares lodged outside Jerusalem once or twice. 21 So I warned them, and said to them, “Why do you 21 Opomenuo sam ih i rekao im: “Zaæto noøite spend the night around the wall? If you do so again, pred zidom?

KNJIGA ESTERINA Perzijski kralj Ahasver prireåuje veliku gozbu

Now it happened in the days of Ahasuerus (this was the Ahasuerus who reigned from India to Ethiopia, over one hundred and twenty-seven provinces), 2 in those days when King Ahasuerus sat on the throne of his kingdom, which was in Shushan the citadel, 3 that in the third year of his reign he made a feast for all his officials and servants–the powers of Persia and Media, the nobles, and the princes of the provinces being before him–

After these things, when the wrath of King Ahasuerus subsided, he remembered Vashti, what she had done, and what had been decreed against her. 2 Then the king’s servants who attended him said: “Let beautiful young virgins be sought for the king; 3 and let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that they may gather all the beautiful young virgins to Shushan the citadel, into the women’s quarters, under the custody of Hegai the king’s eunuch, custodian of the women. And let beauty preparations be given them. 4 Then let the young woman who pleases the king be queen instead of Vashti.” This thing pleased the king, and he did so. 5 Now in Shushan the citadel there was a certain Jew whose name was Mordecai the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite. 6 Kish had been carried away from Jerusalem with the captives who had been captured with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away. 7 And Mordecai had brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle’s daughter, for she had neither father nor mother. The young woman was lovely and beautiful. When her father and mother died, Mordecai took her as his own daughter. 8 So it was, when the king’s command and decree were heard, and when many young women were gathered at Shushan the citadel, under the custody of Hegai, that Esther also was taken to the king’s palace, into the care of Hegai the custodian of the women. 9 Now the young woman pleased him, and she obtained his favor; so he readily gave beauty preparations to her, besides her allowance. Then seven choice maidservants were provided for her from the king’s palace, and he moved her and her maidservants to the best place in the house of the women. 10 Esther had not revealed her people or kindred, for Mordecai had charged her not to reveal it. 11 And every day Mordecai paced in front of the court of the women’s quarters, to learn of Esther’s welfare and what was happening to her. 12 Each young woman’s turn came to go in to King Ahasuerus after she had completed twelve months’ preparation, according to the regulations for the women, for thus were the days of their preparation apportioned: six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with perfumes and preparations for beautifying women. 13 Thus prepared, each young woman went to the king, and she was given whatever she desired to take with her from the women’s quarters to the king’s palace. 14 In the evening she went, and in the morning she returned to the second house of the women, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king’s eunuch who kept the concubines. She would not go in to the king again unless the king delighted in her and called for her by name. 15 Now when the turn came for Esther the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her as his daughter, to go in to the king, she requested nothing but what Hegai the king’s eunuch, the custo-

Estera postaje kraljica

Kad se poslije utiæao gnjev kralja Ahasvera, pomislio je on opet na Vaætiju, na ono æto je uçinila i æto je za nju bilo odreåeno. 2 Onda su dali kraljevi dvorani, koji su ga posluœivali, ovaj prijedlog: “Neka se potraœe kralju najljepæe djevojke. 3 Neka postavi kralj po svim pokrajinama svojega kraljevstva çinovnike koji øe dovesti sve lijepe djevojke u prijestolnicu Susu u kuøu za œene i predati ih pod ruku kraljevskomu dvoraninu Hegeju, kraljevu eunuhu, çuvaru œenski. Neka im se onda dadu krasila za ljepotu. 4 Djevojka, koja se svidi kralju, neka bude kraljica namjesto Vaætije.” Kralju je taj prijedlog bio po volji i uçinio je tako. 5 U prijestolnici Susi œivio je Œidov po imenu Mordekaj, sin Jaira, sina Æimeja, sina Kiæova, iz plemena Benjaminova. 6 Sa zarobljenicima iz Jeruzalema, koji su zajedno s Jekonijom, kraljem Judinim, bili odvedeni u ropstvo od Nebukadnezara, babilonskog kralja, bio je i on odveden. 7 On je bio hranitelj Hadase, to jest Estere, køeri njegova strica; ona, naime, nije viæe imala oca ni majke. Djevojka je bila lijepa stasa i krasna lica. Nakon smrti njezina oca i majke bio ju uzeo Mordekaj sebi za køer. 8 Kad se bila razglasila kraljeva rijeç i njegova uredba, i mnogo se mladih djevojaka bilo dovelo u prijestolnicu Susu pod ruku Hegejevu, doæla i Estera u kraljevski dvor pod ruku Hegeja, œenskoga çuvara. 9 Kako mu se djevojka svidjela i naæla milost u njemu, to joj je revno davao najbolja krasila i dobru hranu. Takoåer joj je dao sedam izabranih sluækinja iz kraljevskog dvora i davao je prednost njoj i njezinim sluækinjama u kuøi za œene. 10 A Estera nije rekla za svoj narod ni svoj rod, jer joj je bio Mordekaj zapovjedio da to ne govori. 11 Mordekaj bi dolazio svaki dan pred trijem kuøe za œene da dozna kako je Estera i æto øe biti od nje. 12 Nakon pripremanja kroz dvanaest mjeseci, kako je bio propis kod œena, doæao bi red na svaku djevojku da poåe kralju Ahasveru. Tako je dugo trajalo njihovo uljepæavanje: æest mjeseci uljem od smirne i æest mjeseci balsamom i drugim œenskim uljepæavanjem. 13 Tako pripremljena djevojka poæla bi kralju. Sve æto bi zaœeljela uzeti sobom iz kuøe za œene u kraljevski dvor, dozvolilo bi joj se. 14 Uveçer bi iæla, a ujutro bi se vratila u drugu kuøu za œene, koja je bila pod rukom kraljevskog dvoranina Æaaægaza, predstojnika kraljevih suloœnica. Onda viæe ne bi iæla kralju, osim ako bi je zatraœio kralj i pozvao po imenu. 15 I kad je Estera, køi Abihaila, strica Mordekajeva, koju je bio uzeo za køer, bila na redu poøi kralju, ona nije zatraœila niæta nego æto odredi kraljevski dvoranin Hegej, predstojnik œenski. Estera se svidjela svima koji su ju vidjeli. 16 Tako je bila Estera odvedena kralju Ahasveru u kraljevski dvor desetoga mjeseca, to jest mjeseca tebeta, sedme godine njegova vla-

And Esther obtained danja. 17 Kralj je zamilovao Esteru viæe nego sve favor in the sight of all who saw her. 16 So Esther was taken to King Ahasuerus, into his druge œene i ona je zadobila njegovu milost i royal palace, in the tenth month, which is the month naklonost pokraj svih djevojaka. Zato joj stavio kraljevsku krunu na glavu i uçinio ju kraljicom of Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign. 17 The king loved Esther more than all the other mjesto Vaætije. women, and she obtained grace and favor in his sight 18 Onda je kralj u priredio çast Esteri veliku more than all the virgins; so he set the royal crown gozbu svim svojim glavarima i çinovnicima, upon her head and made her queen instead of dopustio pokrajinama otpust od poreza i razdao darove kraljevskom dareœljivoæøu.

Mordecai’s name. 23 And when an inquiry was made into the matter, it was confirmed, and both were hanged on a gallows; and it was written in the book of the chronicles in the presence of the king.

After these things King Ahasuerus promoted Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him and set his seat above all the princes who were with him. 2 And all the king’s servants who were within the king’s gate bowed and paid homage to Haman, for so the king had commanded concerning him. But Mordecai would not bow or pay homage. 3 Then the king’s servants who were within the king’s gate said to Mordecai, “Why do you transgress the king’s command?” 4 Now it happened, when they spoke to him daily and he would not listen to them, that they told it to Haman, to see whether Mordecai’s words would stand; for Mordecai had told them that he was a Jew. 5 When Haman saw that Mordecai did not bow or pay him homage, Haman was filled with wrath. 6 But he disdained to lay hands on Mordecai alone, for they had told him of the people of Mordecai. Instead, Haman sought to destroy all the Jews who were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus– the people of Mordecai. 7 In the first month, which is the month of Nisan, in the twelfth year of King Ahasuerus, they cast Pur (that is, the lot), before Haman to determine the day and the month, until it fell on the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar. 8 Then Haman said to King Ahasuerus, “There is a certain people scattered and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of your kingdom; their laws are different from all other people’s, and they do not keep the king’s laws. Therefore it is not fitting for the king to let them remain. 9 If it pleases the king, let a decree be written that they be destroyed, and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver into the hands of those who do the work, to bring it into the king’s treasuries.” 10 So the king took his signet ring from his hand and gave it to Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the enemy of the Jews.

Hamanova okrutnost prema Œidovima

Poslije toga podigao je kralj Ahasver Hamana, sina Hamedatova iz Agaga, na najviæu çast i dao mu mjesto nad svim glavarima u svojoj okolici. 2 Svi kraljevi sluœbenici koji su bili na kraljevskom dvoru pregibali bi koljeno i padali niçice pred Hamanom, jer tako je bio kralj zapovjedio za njega, ali Mordekaj nije pregibao koljeno i nije padao niçice. 3 Onda su rekle sluge na dvoru kraljevu Mordekaju: “Zaæto prestupaæ zapovijed kraljevu!” 4 Ali ih on nije posluæao, premda su mu od dana na dan govorili. I javili su to Hamanu da vide vrijedi li Mordekajev izgovor, jer on im je bio rekao da je Œidov. 5 Kad je vidio Haman da Mordekaj ne pregiba koljena pred njim i da ne pada niçice, vrlo se razgnjevio. 6 Ali je mislio da nije vrijedno dizati ruku na Mordekaja samoga, jer su mu rekli iz kojega je naroda bio Mordekaj. Tako je gledao Haman da iskorijeni sve Œidove u cijelom kraljevstvu Ahasverovu kao braøu Mordekajevu. 7 Prvoga mjeseca, a to je mjesec Nisan, godine dvanaeste kraljevanja Ahasverova, bacali su pred Hamanom pur, to jest œdrijeb, od dana do dana i od mjeseca do mjeseca, do dvanaestoga mjeseca, a to je mjesec Adar. 8 Onda je rekao Haman kralju Ahasveru: “Meåu narodima po svim zemljama tvojega kraljevstva prebiva razasut, a opet odvojen narod çiji su zakoni drukçiji od zakona svakoga drugog naroda, i koji ne izvræuje kraljevih zapovijedi. Nije dobro za kralja, da ga se tako ostavi. 9 Ako je kralju ugodno, neka se izda pismena zapovijed da se uniæti. Onda mogu izmjeriti deset tisuøa talenata srebra rizniçarima da ih prenesu u kraljevske riznice.” 10 Kralj je skinuo svoj peçatni prsten s ruke i predao ga Hamanu, sinu Hamedatovu iz

Susi, zaputili se brzo glasnici po zapovijedi kraljevoj. A kralj i Haman imali su gozbu, a u gradu Susi vladala je velika zabuna.

When Mordecai learned all that had happened, he tore his clothes and put on sackcloth and ashes, and went out into the midst of the city. He cried out with a loud and bitter cry. 2 He went as far as the square in front of the king’s gate, for no one might enter the king’s gate clothed with sackcloth. 3 And in every province where the king’s command and decree arrived, there was great mourning among the Jews, with fasting, weeping, and wailing; and many lay in sackcloth and ashes. 4 So Esther’s maids and eunuchs came and told her, and the queen was deeply distressed. Then she sent garments to clothe Mordecai and take his sackcloth away from him, but he would not accept them. 5 Then Esther called Hathach, one of the king’s eunuchs whom he had appointed to attend her, and she gave him a command concerning Mordecai, to learn what and why this was. 6 So Hathach went out to Mordecai in the city square that was in front of the king’s gate. 7 And Mordecai told him all that had happened to him, and the sum of money that Haman had promised to pay into the king’s treasuries to destroy the Jews. 8 He also gave him a copy of the written decree for their destruction, which was given at Shushan, that he might show it to Esther and explain it to her, and that he might command her to go in to the king to make supplication to him and plead before him for her people. 9 So Hathach returned and told Esther the words of Mordecai. 10 Then Esther spoke to Hathach, and gave him a command for Mordecai: 11 All the king’s servants and the people of the king’s provinces know that any man or woman who goes into the inner court to the king, who has not been called, he has but one law: put all to death, except the one to whom the king holds out the golden scepter, that he may live. Yet I myself have not been called to go in to the king these thirty days.” 12 So they told Mordecai Esther’s words. 13 Then Mordecai told them to answer Esther: “Do

Estera moli kralja da opozove zapovijed

Kad je Mordekaj doznao za sve to, razdro je svoje haljine, odjenuo se u kostrijet i posuo glavu pepelom, poæao tako u grad i poçeo je iza glasa gorko vikati. 2 Tako doæao do pred vrata kraljevskog dvora. Na vrata dvora nije se smjelo uøi u œalobnoj odjeøi. 3 I u svim pokrajinama, kamo god doåe pismo kraljevo i njegova zapovijed, zavlada velika œalost meåu Œidovima. Oni su postili, plakali i jaukali, i mnogi su se odjenuli u kostrijet i posuli se pepelom. 4 Kad su sluækinje i dvorani doæli k Esteri i to joj javili, ona se veoma raœalostila. I poslala je Mordekaju haljine da ih odjene i da skine sa sebe œalobnu odjeøu, ali ih on nije primio. 5 Onda je dozvala Estera kraljevskog dvoranina Hataka, koji joj je stajao na sluœbi, i poslala ga k Mordekaju da sazna æto to znaçi i zaæto se to dogaåa. 6 Hatak je otiæao k Mordekaju van na gradski trg, koji je bio pred vratima kraljevskog dvora. 7 Mordekaj mu ispripovjedio sve æto mu se bilo dogodilo, i rekao mu novçanu svotu koju je Haman bio obeøao dati u kraljevu riznicu, da se uniæte Œidovi. 8 I prijepis zapovijedi, koja je bila proglaæena u Susi o njihovu uniætenju dao mu da je pokaœe Esteri i da je obavijesti i potakne neka ode kralju i zamolio ga za pomilovanje svojega naroda. 9 Hatak se vratio i javio Esteri æto je rekao Mordekaj. 10 Estera progovorila Hataku i dala mu zapovijed za Mordekaja: 11 “Sve kraljeve sluge i narod kraljevskih pokrajina znaju da svaki çovjek ili œena koji nepozvan stupi kralju u unutraænji trijem, po jednom i istom zakonu mora se pogubiti, i da samo onda ostane na œivotu ako prema njemu pruœi kralj svoje zlatno œezlo. A ja nisam zvana da uåem kralju ima trideset dana.” 12 I tako su javili Mordekaju Esterin odgovor. 13 Onda je Mordekaj poruçio Esteri: “Ne misli da øeæ ti jedina od svih Œidova spasiti svoj œivot

Yet who knows whether you have come to 15 Onda Estera dala javiti odgovor Mordekaju: 16 “Idi, skupi sve Œidove koji se nalaze u Susi i the kingdom for such a time as this?” 15 Then Esther told them to return this answer to postite za mene, tri dana i tri noøi, niæta ne jedite i ne pijte! I ja øu sa svojim sluækinjama postiti, i Mordecai: 16 Go, gather all the Jews who are present in onda øu otiøi kralju, iako to nije po zakonu, pa Shushan, and fast for me; neither eat nor drink for ako zato i poginem, neka poginem.” three days, night or day.

And so I will go to the king, which is against the zapovjedila Estera. law; and if I perish, I perish!” 17 Then Mordecai went his way and did according to all that Esther commanded him.

Now it happened on the third day that Esther put on her royal robes and stood in the inner court of the king’s palace, across from the king’s house, while the king sat on his royal throne in the royal house, facing the entrance of the house. 2 So it was, when the king saw queen Esther standing in the court, that she found favor in his sight, and the king held out to Esther the golden scepter that was in his hand. Then Esther went near and touched the top of the scepter. 3 And the king said to her, “What do you wish, queen Esther? What is your request? It shall be given to you–up to half my kingdom!” 4 So Esther answered, “If it pleases the king, let the king and Haman come today to the banquet that I have prepared for him.” 5 Then the king said, “Bring Haman quickly, that he may do as Esther has said.” So the king and Haman went to the banquet that Esther had prepared. 6 At the banquet of wine the king said to Esther, “What is your petition? It shall be granted you. What is your request, up to half my kingdom? It shall be done!” 7 Then Esther answered and said, “My petition and request is this: 8 ‘If I have found favor in the sight of the king, and if it pleases the king to grant my petition and fulfill my request, then let the king and Haman come to the banquet which I will prepare for them, and tomorrow I will do as the king has said.’ ” 9 So Haman went out that day joyful and with a glad heart; but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king’s gate, and that he did not stand or tremble before him, he was filled with indignation against Mordecai. 10 Nevertheless Haman restrained himself and went home, and he sent and called for his friends and his wife Zeresh. 11 Then Haman told them of his great riches, the multitude of his children, all the ways in which the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the officials and servants of the king. 12 Moreover Haman said, “Besides, queen Esther invited no one but me to come in with the king to the banquet that she prepared; and tomorrow I am again invited by her, along with the king. 13 Yet all this avails me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king’s gate.” 14 Then his wife Zeresh and all his friends said to him, “Let a gallows be made, fifty cubits high, and in the morning suggest to the king that Mordecai be hanged on it; then go merrily with the king to the banquet.” And the thing pleased Haman; so he had the gallows made.

Haman sprema vjeæala Mordekaju

Treøi dan odjenula se Estera u svoju kraljevsku odjeøu i otiæla u unutraænji trijem kraljevskog dvora, prema kraljevim odajama. Kralj je upravo sjedio na svojem kraljevskom prijestolju u kraljevskom dvoru, prema ulazu. 2 Kad je kralj vidio kraljicu Esteru u trijemu, naæla je ona milost pred njim. Kralj je pruœio prema njoj zlatno œezlo koje je drœao u svojoj ruci. Estera je pristupila i dotakla se vrha œezla. 3 Onda joj rekao kralj: “Æto imaæ, kraljice Estero? Koja ti je œelja? Ako bi bila i polovica mojega kraljevstva, neka ti se dade!” 4 Estera je odgovorila “Ako je ugodno kralju, neka doåe kralj s Hamanom danas na gozbu koju sam mu priredila!” 5 Kralj je zapovjedio: “Pozovite brœe Hamana da se ispuni œelja Esterina!” Tako su doæli kralj i Haman na gozbu koju je bila priredila Estera. 6 Kod vina kralj je rekao Esteri: “Koja je tvoja molba? Neka ti se usliæa! Koja je tvoja œelja? Kad bi bila i polovica mojega kraljevstva, bit øe ispunjena!” 7 Estera je odgovorila: “Moja je molba i moja œelja: 8 ‘Ako sam naæla milost u oçima kralja i ako je ugodno kralju da usliæa stanu molbu i ispuni moju œelju, neka opet doåe kralj s Hamanom na gozbu koju øu mu prirediti, i sutra øu onda ispuniti kraljevu œelju.’ ” 9 I tako je otiæao Haman onaj dan odatle veseo i dobre volje, ali kad je vidio Haman Mordekaja na vratima kraljevskog dvora, a on nije stao pred njim niti ga se bojao, napunio se Haman gnjeva na Mordekaja. 10 Ali se joæ suzdrœao Haman dok nije doæao svojoj kuøi. Onda je dozvao s k sebi svoje prijatelje i svoju œenu Zereæu. 11 I Haman im je pripovijedao o svojem velikom bogatstvu, o mnogim svojim sinovima i kako ga je visoko kralj poçastio i podigao ga povrh glavara i kraljevskih sluga. 12 Haman je nastavio: “Dapaçe, kraljica Estera nikoga osim mene nije pozvala s kraljem na gozbu koju je priredila. I sutra sam opet s kraljem pozvan kod nje. 13 Ali to sve ne vrijedi za me dokle god gledam onoga Œidova Mordekaja gdje sjedi na vratima kraljevskog dvora.” 14 Onda mu je rekla njegova œena Zereæa i svi njegovi prijatelji: “Daj napraviti vjeæala visoka pedeset lakata i sutra rano kaœi kralju da na njima objesi Mordekaja! Onda moœeæ veseo poøi s kraljem na gozbu.” Prijedlog je bio po volji Hamanu i on je dao napraviti vjeæala.

So the king and Haman went to dine with queen Esther. 2 And on the second day, at the banquet of wine, the king again said to Esther, “What is your petition, queen Esther? It shall be granted you. And what is your request, up to half my kingdom? It shall be done!” 3 Then queen Esther answered and said, “If I have found favor in your sight, O king, and if it pleases the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request. 4 For we have been sold, my people and I, to be destroyed, to be killed, and to be annihilated. Had we been sold as male and female slaves, I would have

Estera moli milost za sebe i za svoj narod

Tako su otiæli kralj i Haman na gozbu kraljici Esteri. 2 Rekao je kralj Esteri opet drugi dan kod vina: “Koja je tvoja molba, kraljice Estero? Neka ti se usliæa! Koja je tvoja œelja? Kad bi bila i polovica mojega kraljevstva, bit øe ispunjena!” 3 Onda je odgovorila kraljica Estera, govoreøi: “Ako sam naæla u tvojim oçima milost, kralju, i ako je ugodno kralju, neka mi pokloni moj œivot, za koji molim, i moj narod, za koji prosim! 4 Jer smo prodani, ja i moj narod, da nas zatru, pobiju i uniæte.

Haman je ostao i zamolio kraljicu of wine and went into the palace garden; but Haman Esteru za svoj œivot, jer je vidio da je kralj naustood before queen Esther, pleading for his life, for mio zlo po njega. he saw that evil was determined against him by the 8 Kad se kralj vratio iz dvorskoga vrta u dvoranu na vino, Haman se bio bacio pred jastuk king. 8 When the king returned from the palace garden to na kojemu je sjedila Estera.

On that day King Ahasuerus gave queen Esther the house of Haman, the enemy of the Jews. And Mordecai came before the king, for Esther had told how he was related to her. 2 So the king took off his signet ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it to Mordecai; and Esther appointed Mordecai over the house of Haman. 3 Now Esther spoke again to the king, fell down at his feet, and implored him with tears to counteract the evil plot of Haman the Agagite, and the scheme which he had devised against the Jews. 4 And the king held out the golden scepter toward Esther. So Esther arose and stood before the king, 5 and said, “If it pleases the king, and if I have found favor in his sight and the thing seems right to the king and I am pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to revoke the letters devised by Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to annihilate the Jews who are in all the king’s provinces. 6 For how can I endure to see the evil that will come to my people? Or how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?” 7 Then King Ahasuerus said to queen Esther and Mordecai the Jew, “Indeed, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and they have hanged him on the gallows because he tried to lay his hand on the Jews. 8 You yourselves write a decree for the Jews, as you please, in the king’s name, and seal it with the king’s signet ring; for a letter which is written in the king’s name and sealed with the king’s signet ring no one can revoke.” 9 So the king’s scribes were called at that time, in the third month, which is the month of Sivan, on the twenty-third day; and it was written, according to all that Mordecai commanded, to the Jews, the satraps, the governors, and the princes of the provinces from India to Ethiopia, one hundred and twenty-seven provinces in all, to every province in its own script, to every people in their own language, and to the Jews in their own script and language. 10 And he wrote in the name of King Ahasuerus, sealed it with the king’s signet ring, and sent letters by couriers on horseback, riding on royal horses bred

Nova kraljeva zapovijed u korist Œidovima

Onoga dana poklonio je kralj Ahasver kraljici Esteri kuøu Hamana, protivnika Œidova, a Mordekaj dobio pristup kralju, jer je Estera bila rekla kralju æto joj je on. 2 Kralj je skinuo peçatni prsten koji je bio dao oduzeti Hamanu i dao ga Mordekaju. A Estera je postavila Mordekaja nad Hamanovom kuøom. 3 Estera je opet govorila s kraljem, bacila mu se pred noge i molila sa suzama neka bi ukinuo zloglasni naum koji je bio skovao protiv Œidova Haman iz Agaga. 4 Kralj je pruœio prema Esteri zlatno œezlo. Estera je ustala, pristupila kralju i rekla: 5 “Ako je ugodno kralju, ako sam naæla milost pred njim, ako se moja molba çini kralju opravdanom i ako sam mu mila, onda neka jednom pismenom zapovijedi povuçe natrag pisma s naumom Hamana, sina Hamedatova iz Agaga, kojima se zapovjeda uniætenje Œidova po svim kraljevskim pokrajinama. 6 Jer kako bih mogla gledati zlo koje bi snaælo moj narod? Kako bih mogla mirno gledati propast svojega plemena?” 7 Onda je odgovorio kralj Ahasver kraljici Esteri i Œidovu Mordekaju: “Eto, poklonio sam kuøu Hamanovu Esteri, a njega samoga dao sam objesiti na vjeæala, jer je podigao svoju ruku na Œidove. 8 Sad vi sami moœete pisati za Œidove kako vam je drago u ime kraljevo i zapeçatiti kraljevim prstenom, jer æto se piæe u ime kraljevo i zapeçati kraljevim prstenom, ne smije se natrag povuøi.” 9 Dvadeset i treøega dana treøega mjeseca, to jest mjeseca Sivana, bili su pozvani kraljevski pisari da sastave toçno po Mordekajevoj rijeçi pismenu zapovijed: Œidovima, satrapima, namjesnicima i glavarima stotinu dvadeset i sedam pokrajina od Indije do Etiopije, za svaku pokrajinu njezinim pismom, i za svaki narod njegovim jezikom, i Œidovima njihovim pismom i jezikom. 10 Pismene zapovijedi bile su napisane u ime

Onda su mnogi od neznaboœaca postajali Œidovi, jer je na njih pao strah od Œidova.

Now in the twelfth month, that is, the month of Adar, on the thirteenth day, the time came for the king’s command and his decree to be executed. On the day that the enemies of the Jews had hoped to overpower them, the opposite occurred, in that the Jews themselves overpowered those who hated them. 2 The Jews gathered together in their cities throughout all the provinces of King Ahasuerus to lay hands on those who sought their harm. And no one could withstand them, because fear of them fell upon all people. 3 And all the officials of the provinces, the satraps, the governors, and all those doing the king’s work, helped the Jews, because the fear of Mordecai fell upon them. 4 For Mordecai was great in the king’s palace, and his fame spread throughout all the provinces; for this man Mordecai became increasingly prominent. 5 Thus the Jews defeated all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, with slaughter and destruction, and did what they pleased with those who hated them. 6 And in Shushan the citadel the Jews killed and destroyed five hundred men. 7 Also Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha, 8 Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha, 9 Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai, and Vajezatha– 10 the ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews–they killed; but they did not lay a hand on the plunder. 11 On that day the number of those who were killed in Shushan the citadel was brought to the king. 12 And the king said to queen Esther, “The Jews have killed and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the citadel, and the ten sons of Haman. What have they done in the rest of the king’s provinces? Now what is your petition? It shall be granted

Œidovi ubijaju svoje neprijatelje i drœe Svetkovinu

Dvanaestoga mjeseca, to jest mjeseca Adara, trinaestoga dana, kada se trebala izvræiti kraljeva rijeç i njegova zapovijed, i kada su se judejski neprijatelji nadali da øe ih prevladati, okrenuo se list i Œidovi su nadvladali svoje neprijatelje. 2 Po svim pokrajinama kralja Ahasvera skupili se Œidovi u svojim gradovima da dignu ruke na one koji su gledali da im nanesu zlo. Nitko im se nije mogao oprijeti, jer su ih se bojali svi narodi. 3 Svi glavari u pokrajinama, satrapi, namjesnici i kraljevi çinovnici podupirali su Œidove, jer su se bojali Mordekaja. 4 Jer je Mordekaj bio veoma ugledan na kraljevu dvoru. Glas o njemu æirio se po svim pokrajinama, jer je on bio sve moøniji. 5 Tako su Œidovi pobili maçem svoje neprijatelje, uniætili ih, iskorijenili i uçinili æto su htjeli od svojih protivnika. 6 U prijestolnici Susi poubijali su i uniætili Œidovi pet stotina ljudi. 7 Meåu njima Paræandatu, Dalfona, Aspatu, 8 Poratu, Adaliju, Aridatu, 9 Parmaætu, Arisaja, Aridaja i Jezatu. 10 I deset Hamanovih sinova, Hamedatova sina i protivnika Œidova, ubili su, ali za plijenom nisu pruœili svoje ruke. 11 Joæ istoga dana javili su kralju broj poubijanih u glavnom gradu Susi. 12 Onda je rekao kralj kraljici Esteri: “U prijestolnici Susi pobijeno je i smaknuto pet stotina ljudi i deset Hamanovih sinova. A æto su isto poçinili po drugim pokrajinama kraljevstva! Koja je sad tvoja molba? Bit øe ti usliæana.

Job THE BOOK OF JOB

1

There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God and shunned evil. 2 And seven sons and three daughters were born to him. 3 Also, his possessions were seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred female donkeys, and a very large household, so that this man was the greatest of all the people of the East. 4 Now his sons would go and feast in their houses, each on his appointed day, and would send and invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them. 5 So it was, when the days of feasting had run their course, that Job would send and sanctify them, and he would rise early in the morning and offer burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, “It may be that my sons have sinned and cursed God in their hearts.” Thus Job did regularly. 6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them. 7 And the LORD said to Satan, “From where do you come?” So Satan answered the LORD and said, “From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it.” 8 Then the LORD said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil?” 9 So Satan answered the LORD and said, “Does Job fear God for nothing? 10 Have you not made a hedge around him, around his household, and around all that he has on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land. 11 But now, stretch out your hand and touch all that he has, and he will surely curse you to your face!” 12 So the LORD said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your power; only do not lay a hand on his person.” Then Satan went out from the presence of the LORD. 13 Now there was a day when his sons and daugh-

Gubitak imanja i djece. Jobova vjernost Bogu

Bio je çovjek u zemlji Uzu çije je ime bilo Job; i taj je çovjek bio poæten i pravedan, bojao se Boga i klonio se zla. 2 Rodilo mu se sedam sinova i tri køeri. 3 Imao je sedam tisuøa ovaca, tri tisuøe deva, pet stotina jarmova volova, pet stotina magarica; uz to veoma mnogo sluœinçadi, i tako je bio najugledniji od svih ljudi Istoka. 4 A bio je obiçaj njegovih sinova da drœe gozbu u kuøi svakoga pojedinoga u odreåeni dan, i slali bi po svoje tri sestre da doåu jesti i piti s njima. 5 A kad bi se izredali s gozbom, onda bi Job poslao i pozvao ih da ih posveti. Rano bi onda prinosio œrtvu paljenicu za svakoga od njih, jer je mislio Job: “Moœda su sagrijeæila moja djeca i Boga uvrijedila u svojem srcu.” Tako je çinio Job redovito. 6 Jednoga dana doæli su sinovi Boœji i stupili pred Gospodina, i Sotona se pojavio meåu njima. 7 I Gospodin je upitao Sotonu: “Odakle dolaziæ?” Sotona je odgovorio Gospodinu: “Prohodio sam zemljom i putovao po njoj.” 8 Onda je rekao Gospodin Sotoni: “Jesi li opazio i mojega slugu Joba? Nema takva çovjeka na zemlji. Poæten je i pravedan, boji se Boga i kloni se zla.” 9 Sotona je odgovorio Gospodinu: “Je li se moœda Job tako uzalud bojao Boga? 10 Ne ograåujeæ li njega i njegovu kuøu i sve æto mu pripada? Djelo njegovih ruku blagoslivljaæ i njegov se posjed proæiruje dalje u zemlji. 11 Ali pruœi samo jednom svoju ruku i dotakni se njegova imanja, pa øe te doista u lice psovati.” 12 Onda je rekao Gospodin Sotoni: “Dobro, sve njegovo imanje neka je u tvojoj vlasti! Samo na njega samoga ne smijeæ staviti ruku!” I Sotona je otiæao od Gospodina. 13 I dok su jednoga dana Jobovi sinovi i køeri bili na gozbi u kuøi svojega najstarijeg brata i pili vino,

The LORD gave, rekao nikakve nepristojne rijeçi protiv Boga. and the LORD has taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.” 22 In all this Job did not sin nor charge God with wrong.

Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD. 2 And the LORD said to Satan, “From where do you come?” So Satan answered the LORD and said, “From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it.” 3 Then the LORD said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil? And still he holds fast to his integrity, although you incited me against him, to destroy him without cause.” 4 So Satan answered the LORD and said, “Skin for skin! Yes, all that a man has he will give for his life. 5 But stretch out your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will surely curse you to your face!” 6 So the LORD said to Satan, “Behold, he is in your hand, but spare his life.” 7 Then Satan went out from the presence of the LORD, and struck Job with painful boils from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head. 8 And he took for himself a potsherd with which to scrape himself while he sat in the midst of the ashes. 9 Then his wife said to him, “Do you still hold to your integrity? Curse God and die!” 10 But he said to her, “You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity?” In all this Job did not sin with his lips. 11 Now when Job’s three friends heard of all this adversity that had come upon him, each one came from his own place–Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. For they had made an appointment together to come and mourn with him, and to comfort him.

Gubitak zdravlja. Posjet Jobovih prijatelja

Opet se dogodilo jednoga dana, da su sinovi Boœji stupili pred Gospodina, a i Sotona se pojavio meåu njima i stupio pred Gospodina. 2 I Gospodin je upitao Sotonu: “Odakle dolaziæ?” Sotona je odgovorio Gospodinu: “Prohodio sam zemljom i putovao po njoj.” 3 Onda je rekao Gospodin Sotoni: “Jesi li opazio i mojega slugu Joba? Nema takva çovjeka na zemlji. Poæten je i pravedan, boji se Boga i kloni se zla. I premda si me nagovorio da mu naækodim ni za æto, joæ je uvijek utvråen u svojoj poboœnosti.” 4 Sotona je odgovorio Gospodinu: “Koœu za koœu: sve æto ima çovjek, daje za svoj œivot. 5 Ali pruœi samo jednom svoju ruku i dotakni se njegovih kostiju i njegova mesa, pa øe te doista u lice psovati.” 6 Onda je rekao Gospodin Sotoni: “Dobro, neka ti je on u vlasti, samo mu moraæ saçuvati œivot!” 7 I Sotona je ostavio Gospodina i udario Joba zlim priætem od pete do tjemena. 8 A on je uzeo crijep da se njime struœe; pritom je sjedio na smetliætu. 9 Onda ga prekorila njegova œena. “Drœiæ li se joæ uvijek tvrdo svoje poboœnosti? Odreci se Boga, pa umri.” 10 A on joj je odgovorio: “Kao luåakinja brbljaæ. Dobro smo primali od Boga a zaæto zla da ne primamo.” U svemu tomu Job nije sagrijeæio svojim usnama. 11 Kada su tri prijatelja Jobova çuli za svu nesreøu koja ga je spopala, doæli su svaki iz svojega mjesta: Elifaz iz Temana, Bildad iz Æuaha i Sofar iz Naama. Oni se dogovorili da mu iskaœu svoju suøut i da ga utjeæe. 12 A kad su izdaleka podigli svoje oçi i nisu ga

Potom je Job otvorio svoja usta i prokleo dan svojega roåenja. 2 I progovorio je Job i rekao: 3 “Ne bilo dana u kojem sam se rodio i noøi u kojoj su rekli: ‘Rodio se djeçak.’ 4 Pretvorio se taj dan u tamu, ne gledao ga Bog odozgor, i nije ga obasjavala svjetlost. 5 Obuzeo ga mrak i smrtna sjena, obastro ga mutni oblak, prestraæile ga danje pomrçine. 6 Onu noø je osvojila tama, nije se vezala s danima godine, nije se brojila u mjesece. 7 Ona noø je ostala neplodna, nije odjeknulo u njoj pjevanje. 8 Prokleli su ju koji psuju dane, koji su spremni probuditi Levijatana. 9 Potamnjele su zvijezde u njezino sumraçje, çekala je svjetlost i nije ga doçekala, nije nikada vidjela zori trepavica. 10 Zaæto mi nije zatvorila vrata majçine utrobe, zaæto nije sakrila muku mojim oçima. 11 Zaæto nisam umro u majçinoj utrobi, zaæto nisam izdahnuo izlazeøi iz majçine utrobe? 12 Zaæto su me koljena prihvatila, zaæto prsa da ih dojim? 13 Jer bih sad leœao u grobu i poçivao, spavao bih i bio bih miran, 14 sa zemaljskim kraljevima i savjetnicima æto su sagradili sebi grobnice, 15 ili s glavarima koji su imali zlata i svoje kuøe napunili su srebra. 16 Ili zaæto nisam bio kao nedonoæçe skriveno, kao dijete æto ne vidi svjetla? 17 Ondje bezboœnici prestaju bjesnjeti, ondje poçivaju kojima su iscrpli snagu. 18 Ondje se odmaraju suœnji i viæe ne çuju vike nadstojnikove. 19 Mali i veliki ondje su jednaki, i rob je slobodan od svojega gospodara. 20 Zaæto se daje svjetlost nevoljniku i œivot onima koji su tuœna srca? 21 Oni çeznu za smrøu, a ona ne dolazi; traœe je viæe nego blago zakopano. 22 Klicali bi od veselja, radovali bi se kad bi naæli grob. 23 Tako je çovjeku komu je put skriven, koga je Bog sapeo od svuda. 24 A meni je uzdah moj kruh svakidaænji, kao voda razlijeva se moj jauk. 25 Jer koga sam se bojao, Strahoviti, pao je na mene, koga sam se straæio, svalio se na mene. 26 Ne nalazim mira, ne nalazim odmora, ne nalazim pokoja, jer je doælo zlo.”

4

Onda je Elifaz iz Temana odgovarajuøi rekao: 2 “Ako ti progovorimo, moglo bi ti biti dosadno; ali tko bi se suzdrœao da ne govori? 3 Eto, uçio si mnoge, i iznemogle ruke si krijepio. 4 Tvoje su rijeçi podizale onoga koji je padao, i utvråivao si koljena koja su klecala.

Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said: 2 If one attempts a word with you, will you become weary? but who can withhold himself from speaking? 3 Surely you have instructed many, and you have strengthened weak hands. 4 Your words have upheld him who was stumbling, and you have strengthened the feeble knees;

Tuœaljka Jobova æto se rodio

After this Job opened his mouth and cursed the day of his birth. 2 And Job spoke, and said: 3 May the day perish on which I was born, and the night in which it was said, ‘A male child is conceived.’ 4 “May that day be darkness; may God above not seek it, nor the light shine upon it. 5 May darkness and the shadow of death claim it; may a cloud settle on it; may the blackness of the day terrify it. 6 As for that night, may darkness seize it; may it not be included among the days of the year, may it not come into the number of the months. 7 Oh, may that night be barren! May no joyful shout come into it! 8 May those curse it who curse the day, those who are ready to arouse Leviathan. 9 May the stars of its morning be dark; may it look for light, but have none, and not see the dawning of the day; 10 because it did not shut up the doors of my mother’s womb, nor hide sorrow from my eyes. 11 Why did I not die at birth? Why did I not perish when I came from the womb? 12 Why did the knees receive me? Or why the breasts, that I should nurse? 13 For now I would have lain still and been quiet, I would have been asleep; then I would have been at rest 14 with kings and counselors of the earth, who built ruins for themselves, 15 or with princes who had gold, who filled their houses with silver; 16 or why was I not hidden like a stillborn child, like infants who never saw light? 17 There the wicked cease from troubling, and there the weary are at rest. 18 There the prisoners rest together; they do not hear the voice of the oppressor. 19 The small and great are there, and the servant is free from his master. 20 Why is light given to him who is in misery, and life to the bitter of soul, 21 who long for death, but it does not come, and search for it more than hidden treasures; 22 who rejoice exceedingly, and are glad when they can find the grave? 23 Why is light given to a man whose way is hidden, and whom God has hedged in? 24 For my sighing comes before I eat, and my groanings pour out like water. 25 For the thing I greatly feared has come upon me, and what I dreaded has happened to me. 26 I am not at ease, nor am I quiet; I have no rest, for trouble comes.”

And to which of the holy ones will you turn? 2 For wrath kills a foolish man, and envy slays a simple one. 3 I have seen the foolish taking root, but suddenly I cursed his habitation. 4 His sons are far from safety, they are crushed in the gate, and there is no deliverer. 5 Because the hungry eat up his harvest, taking it even from the thorns, and a snare snatches their substance. 6 For affliction does not come from the dust, nor does trouble spring from the ground; 7 yet man is born to trouble, as the sparks fly upward. 8 But as for me, I would seek God, and to God I would commit my cause– 9 Who does great things, and unsearchable, marvelous things without number. 10 He gives rain on the earth, and sends waters on the fields. 11 He sets on high those who are lowly, and those who mourn are lifted to safety. 12 He frustrates the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot carry out their plans. 13 He catches the wise in their own craftiness, and the counsel of the cunning comes quickly upon them. 14 They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope at noontime as in the night. 15 But he saves the needy from the sword, from the mouth of the mighty, and from their hand. 16 So the poor have hope, and injustice shuts her mouth. 17 Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects; therefore do not despise the chastening of the Al-

Elifaz opominje Joba, da se obrati

Zovi sada ako ti se tko odazove, i kojemu øeæ se od anåela obratiti? 2 Bezumnika ubija samo njegova zla volja. Luåaka usmrøuje njegova zavist. 3 Vidio sam luåaka: bio se tvrdo ukorijenio, ali se najedanput sruæi njegova kuøa. 4 Bez pomoøi su ostala njegova djeca; satrli su ih na vratima bez branitelja. 5 Pojeli su gladni æto je on œeo; usred trnja uzimaju to sebi. Œedni çeznu za njegovim posjedom. 6 Jer nesreøa ne niçe iz zemlje, i nezgoda ne izlazi iz praha. 7 Ne, çovjek se raåa za patnju, kao æto ognjene iskre vrcaju gore. 8 Ali ja bih poæao k Bogu, pred Boga bih iznio svoju stvar. 9 Njegovo je upravljanje veliko i neshvatljivo, puno çudesa koja ne izbroji nitko. 10 Spuæta kiæu na zemlju, izlijeva vodu na polja. 11 Poniœene podiœe gore, œalosne uzvisuje k sreøi. 12 Naume lukavih uniætava, njihove ruke ne svræe niæta pravo. 13 Mudre hvata u njihovu lukavstvu, sruæi se nakane lukavih. 14 Na bijelu danu nailaze na mrak i u podne pipaju kao po noøi. 15 Od maça on izbavlja siromaha, iz ralja silnika i njihovih ruku. 16 Slabomu procvate nova nada, a zloøa mora zatisnuti svoja usta. 17 Eto, sretan çovjek koga Bog upuøuje. I zato ne odbacuj opomene Svemoønoga.

Then Job answered and said: 2 “Oh, that my grief were fully weighed, and my calamity laid with it in the balances! 3 For then it would be heavier than the sand of the sea–therefore my words have been rash. 4 For the arrows of the Almighty are within me; my spirit drinks in their poison; the terrors of God are arrayed against me. 5 Does the wild donkey bray when it has grass, or does the ox low over its fodder? 6 Can flavorless food be eaten without salt? Or is there any taste in the white of an egg? 7 My soul refuses to touch them; they are as loathsome food to me. 8 Oh, that I might have my request, that God would grant me the thing that I long for! 9 That it would please God to crush me, that he would loose his hand and cut me off! 10 Then I would still have comfort; though in anguish, I would exult. let him not spare, for I have not concealed the words of the Holy One. 11 What strength do I have, that I should hope? And what is my end, that I should prolong my life? 12 Is my strength the strength of stones? Or is my flesh bronze? 13 Is my help not within me? And is success driven from me? 14 To him who is afflicted, kindness should be shown by his friend, even though he forsakes the fear of the Almighty. 15 My brothers have dealt deceitfully like a brook, like the streams of the brooks that pass away, 16 which are dark because of the ice, and into which the snow vanishes. 17 When it is warm, they cease to flow; when it is hot, they vanish from their place. 18 The paths of their way turn aside, they go nowhere and perish. 19 The caravans of Tema look, the travelers of Sheba hope for them. 20 They are disappointed because they were confident; they come there and are confused. 21 For now you are nothing, you see terror and are afraid. 22 Did I ever say, ‘Bring something to me’? or, ‘Offer a bribe for me from your wealth’? 23 or, ‘Deliver me from the enemy’s hand’? or, ‘Re-

Job se œali da trpi viæe nego æto je zasluœio

Onda je Job odgovarajuøi rekao: 2 “O da bi se samo izmjerila moja zla volja, i zajedno se stavila na tezulju moja patnja. 3 Teœa bi ona bila od morskoga pijeska; zato su zbunjene moje rijeçi. 4 Jer su strijele Svemoønoga u meni, otrov njihov ispija mi duh, strahote Boœje udaraju na mene. 5 Riçe li divlji magarac na paæi, ili muçe li vol uz svoju kuøu? 6 Moœe li se bljutavo jesti bez soli?

Kad øe doøi kraj da joæ mogu çekati? 12 Je li moja snaga kao snaga kamenja? Je li meso moje od mjedi? 13 Nije li me ostavila sva pomoø? Nije li mi oduzeta svaka potpora? 14 Nesretnomu treba suøut prijatelja, iako je odbacio strah Svemoønoga. 15 Moja braøa nevjerna su kao zimski potok, prolaze kao nabujali potoci, 16 koji su mutni od leda u kojima se krije snijeg. 17 U vrijeme œege presuæe, iæçeznu iz svojega korita kad ugrije. 18 Tragovi njihova toka izgube se, dignu se kao para i nestanu. 19 Karavane iz Teme gledale su ih, i trgovaçke povorke iz Sabe oslanjale se na njih. 20 Ali se prevarili u svojem uzdanju: doæli su ondje i pogledali se prevareni. 21 Tako ste sad i vi meni: gledate tu strahotu i bojite se. 22 Jesam li vam rekao: dajte mi æto god, poklonite mi od svojega imanja. 23 Ili, izbavite me iz ruke neprijatelja, iskupite me iz ruke nasilnika. 24 Pouçite me i ja øu æutjeti; obavijestite me u

Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said: 2 “How long will you speak these things, and the words of your mouth be like a strong wind? 3 Does God subvert judgment? Or does the Almighty pervert justice? 4 If your sons have sinned against him, he has cast them away for their transgression.

Bildad je rekao: Job se mora pokajati

Onda je Bildad iz Æuaha odgovarajuøi rekao: 2 “Dokle øeæ joæ tako govoriti? Jesu li burni vjetar rijeçi tvojih usta? 3 Zar moœda Bog krivo sudi? Zar Svemoøni izvrøe pravdu? 4 Jer su tvoja djeca sagrijeæila protiv njega,

Then Job answered and said: 2 “Truly I know it is so, but how can a man be righteous before God? 3 If one wished to contend with him, he could not answer him one time out of a thousand. 4 God is wise in heart and mighty in strength. Who has hardened himself against him and prospered? 5 He removes the mountains, and they do not know when he overturns them in his anger; 6 He shakes the earth out of its place, and its pillars tremble; 7 He commands the sun, and it does not rise; he seals off the stars; 8 He alone spreads out the heavens, and treads on the waves of the sea; 9 He made the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, and the chambers of the south; 10 He does great things past finding out, yes, wonders without number. 11 If he goes by me, I do not see him; If he moves past, I do not perceive him; 12 If he takes away, who can hinder him? Who can say to him, ‘What are you doing?’ 13 God will not withdraw his anger, the allies of the proud lie prostrate beneath him. 14 How then can I answer him, and choose my words to reason with him? 15 For though I were righteous, I could not answer him; I would beg mercy of my Judge. 16 If I called and he answered me, I would not believe that he was listening to my voice. 17 For he crushes me with a tempest, and multiplies my wounds without cause.

Job pokazuje Boœju svemoø

Onda je Job odgovarajuøi rekao: 2 “Zaista, znam da je tako, jer kako bi mogao çovjek biti pravedan pred Bogom. 3 Ako bi se tko htio pravdati s njim, ne bi mu mogao odgovoriti od tisuøe na jednu. 4 Mudar je srcem i silan snagom; tko se njemu oprije i bio sretan? 5 On premjeæta gore: one to ni ne opaze; preokreøe ih u svojem gnjevu. 6 On pokreøe zemlju s mjesta njezina da joj se sve drmaju temelji. 7 On je zapovjedio suncu: ono ne izlazi, on stavlja peçat svoj na zvijezde. 8 On razapinje nebesa sam i koraça po morskim valovima. 9 On je stvorio zvijeœåe: Medvjeda, Oriona, Vlaæiøe i zvijezde juga. 10 On çini velika djela i nedokuçiva i divna, kojima nema broja. 11 Ide li pokraj mene: ja to ne opazim, proåe li mimo mene, ja to ne primijetim. 12 Ugrabi li æto, tko øe mu to zabraniti?

My soul loathes life; I will give free course to my complaint, I will speak in the bitterness of my soul. 2 I will say to God, ‘Do not condemn me; show me why you contend with me. 3 Does it seem good to you that you should oppress, that you should despise the work of your hands, and shine on the counsel of the wicked? 4 Do you have eyes of flesh?

Are your years like the days of a mighty man, 6 that you should seek for my iniquity and search out my sin, 7 although you know that I am not wicked, and there is no one who can deliver from your hand? 8 Your hands have made me and fashioned me, an intricate unity; yet you would destroy me. 9 Remember, I pray, that you have made me like clay.

Then Zophar the Naamathite answered and said: 2 “Should not the multitude of words be answered? And should a man full of talk be vindicated? 3 Should your empty talk make men hold their peace? And when you mock, should no one rebuke you? 4 For you have said, ‘My doctrine is pure, And I am clean in your eyes.’ 5 But oh, that God would speak, and open his lips against you, 6 that he would show you the secrets of wisdom! For they would double your prudence. Know therefore that God exacts from you less than your iniquity deserves. 7 Can you search out the deep things of God? Can you find out the limits of the Almighty? 8 They are higher than heaven–what can you do? Deeper than Sheol–what can you know? 9 Their measure is longer than the earth and broader than the sea. 10 If he passes by, imprisons, and gathers to judgment, then who can hinder him? 11 For he knows deceitful men; he sees wickedness also. Will he not then consider it? 12 For an empty-headed man will be wise, when a wild donkey’s colt is born a man. 13 If you would prepare your heart, and stretch out your hands toward him; 14 if iniquity were in your hand, and you put it far away, and would not let wickedness dwell in your tents; 15 then surely you could lift up your face without spot; yes, you could be steadfast, and not fear; 16 because you would forget your misery, and remember it as waters that have passed away, 17 and your life would be brighter than noonday. Though you were dark, you would be like the morning. 18 And you would be secure, because there is hope; yes, you would dig about you, and take your rest in safety. 19 You would also lie down, and no one would make you afraid; yes, many would court your favor. 20 But the eyes of the wicked will fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope–loss of life!”

Sofar govori o sveznanju Boœjem

Onda je Sofar iz Naama odgovarajuøi rekao: 2 “Zar da te mnoge rijeçi ostanu bez odgovora? Ili øe govorljiv çovjek biti opravdan? 3 Hoøe li tvoje puste rijeçi uæutkati ljude? Zar te neøe nitko posramiti? 4 Jer si sam rekao: ‘Çist je moj nauk i çist sam u tvojim oçima.’ 5 Ali kad bi samo Bog progovorio i svoja usta otvorio protiv tebe, 6 da ti pokaœe tajne mudrosti i svoje mnogostruke osnove, uvidio bi da te Bog ukorom ispravlja manje nego æto zasluœuje krivnja tvojih zlodjela. 7 Moœeæ li tajne Boœje dokuçiti ili doprijeti do granice Svemoønoga? 8 Iznad neba ona je visoka, pa æto øeæ poçeti? Ispod pakla je duboka, pa æto øeæ spoznati? 9 Duœa je od zemlje, æira je od mora. 10 Ako te pusti, ako te zatvori, ako na sud preda: tko øe mu braniti? 11 Jer poznaje ljude pune zloøe, vidi grijeh, a da i ne pazi. 12 Onda øe çovjek bezuman doøi do razboritosti, i divlje øe se magare pretvoriti u çovjeka. 13 Ako pripraviæ svoje srce podigneæ svoje ruke k Bogu, 14 ako ukloniæ zlodjela iz svoje ruke i ne podnosiæ grijeha u svojoj kuøi, 15 onda øeæ çisto çelo moøi podiøi, çvrst øeæ biti i bojati se neøeæ. 16 Onda øeæ zaboraviti muku i na nju øeæ pomiæljati kao na vodu æto proteçe; 17 onda øe sjati tvoj œivot jasnije nego podne, a tama øe biti kao osvit zore; 18 onda øeæ se uzdati, jer ima nade, zakopat øeæ se i mirno øeæ spavati. 19 Odmarat øeæ se i nitko te neøe straæiti, i mnogi øe ti se moliti. 20 A oçi grjeænicima ugasit øe se, neøe im biti utoçiæta, nada øe im biti: duæu izdahnuti.”

Then Job answered and said: Sofar govori kori svoje prijatelje 2 “No doubt you are the people, and wisOnda je Job odgovarajuøi rekao: dom will die with you! 2 “Bez sumnje vi ste mi ljudi i s vama øe 3 But I have understanding as well as you; I am not izumrijeti mudrost. inferior to you.

Behold, my eye has seen all this, my ear has heard and understood it. 2 What you know, I also know; I am not inferior to you. 3 But I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God. 4 But you forgers of lies, you are all worthless physicians. 5 Oh, that you would be silent, and it would be your wisdom! 6 Now hear my reasoning, and heed the pleadings of my lips. 7 Will you speak wickedly for God, and talk deceitfully for him? 8 Will you show partiality for him? Will you contend for God? 9 Will it be well when he searches you out? Or can you mock him as one mocks a man? 10 He will surely reprove you if you secretly show partiality. 11 Will not his excellence make you afraid, and the dread of him fall upon you? 12 Your platitudes are proverbs of ashes, your defenses are defenses of clay.

Bog ne treba nikoga da se zauzima za njega

Eto, sve je to vidjelo moje oko, çulo moje uho i razumjelo. 2 Koliko vi znate, znam i ja, nisam manje vrijedan od vas. 3 Ipak moram govoriti sa Svemoønim, rado bih se branio pred Bogom. 4 A vi ste pravi kovaçi laœi, vi ste svi uzaludni lijeçnici. 5 O, da biste barem æutjeli, to bi na vama joæ bilo kao mudrost. 6 Çujte ipak moje opravdanje, i posluæajte odgovor mojih usta. 7 Hoøete li za Boga govoriti laœi ili prijevaru iznijeti za njega? 8 Hoøete li se zauzeti za njega ili se boriti za Boga? 9 Hoøe li se dobro svræiti kad vas on ispita?

Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said: 2 Should a wise man answer with empty knowledge, and fill himself with the east wind? 3 Should he reason with unprofitable talk, or by speeches with which he can do no good? 4 Yes, you cast off fear, and restrain prayer before God. 5 For your iniquity teaches your mouth, and you choose the tongue of the crafty. 6 Your own mouth condemns you, and not I; yes, your own lips testify against you. 7 Are you the first man who was born? Or were you made before the hills? 8 Have you heard the counsel of God? Do you limit wisdom to yourself? 9 What do you know that we do not know? What do you understand that is not in us? 10 Both the gray-haired and the aged are among us, much older than your father. 11 Are the consolations of God too small for you, and the word spoken gently with you? 12 Why does your heart carry you away, and what do your eyes wink at, 13 that you turn your spirit against God, and let such words go out of your mouth? 14 What is man, that he could be pure? And he who is born of a woman, that he could be righteous? 15 If God puts no trust in his saints, and the heavens are not pure in his sight, 16 how much less man, who is abominable and filthy, Who drinks iniquity like water! 17 I will tell you, hear me; what I have seen I will declare, 18 what wise men have told, not hiding anything received from their fathers, 19 to whom alone the land was given, and no alien passed among them: 20 the wicked man writhes with pain all his days, and the number of years is hidden from the oppressor. 21 Dreadful sounds are in his ears; in prosperity the destroyer comes upon him. 22 He does not believe that he will return from darkness, and he watches for the sword. 23 He wanders about for bread, saying, ‘Where is it?’ He knows that a day of darkness is ready at his hand. 24 Trouble and anguish make him afraid; they overpower him, like a king ready for battle, 25 for he stretches out his hand against God, and acts defiantly against the Almighty, 26 running stubbornly against him with his strong, embossed shield. 27 Though he has covered his face with his fatness, and made his waist heavy with fat, 28 He dwells in desolate cities, in houses which no one inhabits, which are destined to become ruins. 29 He will not be rich, nor will his wealth continue, nor will his possessions overspread the earth. 30 He will not depart from darkness; the flame will

Elifaz tvrdi da su svi grjeænici

Onda je Elifaz iz Temana odgovarajuøi rekao: 2 “Treba li mudrac odvratiti tako isprazno, i napuniti se istoçnim vjetrom? 3 Prepiranje rijeçima ne vodi dalje i ne pomaœe niæta. 4 Pa i strah Boœji ti razbijaæ i zabranjujeæ ætovanje Boga. 5 Jer tvoja zlodjela uçe tvoja usta, razabireæ govor lukavaca. 6 Grjeænikom te çine tvoja usta, ne ja; tvoje usne govore protiv tebe. 7 Jesi li se ti prvi çovjek rodio i jesi li prije svih bregova sazdan? 8 Jesi li u Boœjem Vijeøu sluæao, i jesi li ti jedini pokupio mudrost? 9 Æto ti znaæ, a da mi ne bismo znali, i æto ti poznajeæ, a da bi nama bilo skriveno? 10 Meåu nama ima sijedih i starih ljudi, starijih od tvojega oca. 11 Jesu li ti premalene utjehe Boœje, rijeç blaga k tebi upravljena? 12 Zaæto te razdire tvoje srce i zaæto tako mrko gledaju tvoje oçi, 13 te okreøeæ protiv Boga svoj duh, i tvoja usta govore takve rijeçi? 14 Æto je çovjek da bi mogao biti çist, i roåeni od œene da bi bio pravedan? 15 Eto, on se ne uzdaje u svoje svece, pa ni nebesa nisu çista u njegovim oçima. 16 A kamoli çovjek, sasvim pokvaren, koji pije zlodjela kao vodu. 17 Ja øu ti reøi, posluæaj me; pripovijedit øu ti samo æto sam vidio. 18 Æto mudraci kaœu i nisu zatajili æto su primili od svojih otaca, 19 kojima je samim bila dana zemlja i u njihovoj sredini nije sjedio stranac. 20 Zlikovac se muçi sve dane i nasilniku je malo godina odreåeno. 21 Strah mu zuji u uæima, usred sreøe napada ga maç. 22 Ne nada se da øe izbjeøi noøi, kaznenom je sudu dosuåen. 23 Tumara za kruhom, ali gdje da ga naåe; zna da mu se pribliœuje dan propasti. 24 Tjeskoba i nevolja straæe ga, navaljuju na njega kao kralj spreman za boj, 25 jer je protiv Boga podigao ruku i Svemoønomu se odupro, 26 trçi protiv njega tvrdoglavo sa svojim debelim zgrbljenim ætitom. 27 Iako je pokrio svoje lice pretilinom i salo navaljao na svoje bokove, 28 uzeo je gradove raskopane za stan i kuøe zapuætene koje su bile odreåene za propast. 29 Neøe biti bogat i neøe se uveøati njegov imetak; on viæe neøe uhvatiti korijena u zemlji.

16

Then Job answered and said: 2 “I have heard many such things; miserable comforters are you all! 3 Shall words of wind have an end? Or what provokes you that you answer? 4 I also could speak as you do, if your soul were in my soul’s place. I could heap up words against you, and shake my head at you; 5 But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the comfort of my lips would relieve your grief. 6 Though I speak, my grief is not relieved; and though I remain silent, how am I eased? 7 But now he has worn me out; you have made desolate all my company. 8 You have shriveled me up, and it is a witness against me; my leanness rises up against me and bears witness to my face. 9 He tears me in his wrath, and hates me; he gnashes at me with his teeth; my adversary sharpens his gaze on me. 10 They gape at me with their mouth, they strike me reproachfully on the cheek, they gather together against me. 11 God has delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me over to the hands of the wicked. 12 I was at ease, but he has shattered me; he also has taken me by my neck, and shaken me to pieces; he has set me up for his target, 13 His archers surround me. He pierces my heart and does not pity; he pours out my gall on the ground. 14 He breaks me with wound upon wound; he runs at me like a warrior. 15 I have sewn sackcloth over my skin, and laid my head in the dust. 16 My face is flushed from weeping, and on my eyelids is the shadow of death; 17 although no violence is in my hands, and my prayer is pure. 18 O earth, do not cover my blood, and let my cry have no resting place! 19 Surely even now my witness is in heaven, and my evidence is on high. 20 My friends scorn me; my eyes pour out tears to God. 21 Oh, that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleads for his neighbor! 22 For when a few years are finished, I shall go the way of no return.

17

My spirit is broken, my days are extinguished, the grave is ready for me. 2 Are not mockers with me? And does not my eye dwell on their provocation? 3 Now put down a pledge for me with yourself. Who is he who will shake hands with me? 4 For you have hidden their heart from understanding; therefore you will not exalt them. 5 He who speaks flattery to his friends, even the eyes of his children will fail.

Onda je Job odgovarajuøi rekao: 2 “Sluæao sam dosta takvih stvari; svi ste vi muçni tjeæitelji. 3 Jesu li pri kraju puste rijeçi i æto te goni da mi tako odgovaraæ? 4 I ja bih mogao govoriti kao vi kad biste samo bili na mojem mjestu; lijepe bih vam drœao govore, œaleøi vas mahao bih glavom na vas. 5 Hranio bih vas svojim ustima, govor bih svoj poçinjao utjeænim kretnjama. 6 Ali ako govorim, neøe se ublaœiti moja bol, ako li prestanem, hoøe li otiøi od mene? 7 Zaista, muka me je moja posve umorila; moj rod sasvim si uniætio. 8 Mene si prihvatio, protiv mene svjedoçe klevetnici, bacaju mi tuœbu u oçi. 9 Gnjev njihov trga me na komade, napadaju me, ækripe zubima na me, moji neprijatelji sijevaju oçima na mene. 10 Razvaljuju na me svoja usta, sramotno me udaraju po obrazima, skupljaju se svi zajedno protiv mene. 11 Zlikovcima predao me Bog, bacio me u ruke bezboœnicima. 12 Mirno sam œivio; onda me uznemiri, uhvati me straga i smrska me, stavio me sebi za metu. 13 Oko mene lete strijele njegove, nemilice mi probada bubrege, prolijeva na zemlju œuç moju. 14 Razdire me, rana do rane, trçi protiv mene kao ratni junak. 15 Œalobnu haljinu nosim na golom tijelu, svoj ponos prignuo sam do u prah. 16 Od plaça mi lice pocrvenjelo, oko mojih trepavica leœi smrtna noø. 17 A nema nepravde na rukama mojim, i molitva je moja bila uvijek çista. 18 O, zemljo, ne pokrivaj moje krvi, neka ne bude nikada kraja mojoj tuœbi. 19 Ali je joæ u nebu svjedok za me, u visinama joæ œivi moj odvjetnik. 20 Moje su mi boli zagovornice, moje oçi u suzama gledaju u Boga. 21 On pribavlja smrtniku pravo kod Boga, çovjeku protiv svojega bliœnjega. 22 Jer meni joæ ostaje samo malo godina, onda mi je na put s kojega nema povratka.

Job se dalje tuœi

Slomljena je moja œivotna snaga, moji mili dani se trnu, çeka me grob. 2 Nisu li rugaçi oko mene? Brbljanje njihovo otima san mojim oçima. 3 Zauzmi se za me i budi jamac, tko bi mi inaçe dao ruku? 4 Od njihova si srca sakrio mudrost i zato im neøeæ dati da pobijede. 5 Imanje se hoøe razdijeliti drugima, gdje ipak

-612Job 6 But he has made me a byword of the people, and I sahnu oçi djece. 6 Mene se predalo ruganju svega svijeta, pljuje have become one in whose face men spit. 7 My eye has also grown dim because of sorrow, and mi se u lice. 7 Oçi se moje gase od jada, svi su udovi moji all my members are like shadows. 8 Upright men are astonished at this, and the inno- kao sjena. 8 Poboœni su nad tim skamenjeni, çisti su nad cent stirs himself up against the hypocrite. 9 Yet the righteous will hold to his way, and he who zloçincem pobunjeni. 9 Joæ tvråe stoji pravednik na svojem putu, joæ has clean hands will be stronger and stronger. 10 But please, come back again, all of you, for I shall viæe samo ojaça onaj çije su ruke çiste. 10 Pa stupite samo opet svi ovamo, ali meåu not find one wise man among you. 11 My days are past, my purposes are broken off, vama ne nalazim nijednoga mudra. 11 Dani su moji otiæli, naumi su se moji slomili, even the thoughts of my heart. 12 They change the night into day; ‘The light is near,’ œelje mojega srca. 12 Mijenjaju dan u noø, i tmini kaœu: ‘Svjetlost they say, in the face of darkness. 13 If I wait for the grave as my house, if I make my je’. 13 Premda se nadam, ipak øe podzemni svijet bed in the darkness, 14 if I say to corruption, ‘You are my father,’ and to biti moj stan, u tami øu prostrti svoju postelju. 14 Truleœu kaœem: ‘Moj si ti otac.’ a crvu: ‘Moja the worm, ‘You are my mother and my sister,’ 15 where then is my hope? As for my hope, who can majko, moja sestro.’ 15 Ali gdje je zaista joæ nadanje za me? Moja see it? 16 Will they go down to the gates of Sheol? Shall we sreøa, tko je moœe joæ vidjeti? 16 K vratima podzemnoga svijeta silaze, gdje have rest together in the dust?” je onda poçinak u prahu.”

Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said: 2 “How long till you put an end to words? Gain understanding, and afterward we will speak. 3 Why are we counted as beasts, and regarded as stupid in your sight? 4 You who tear yourself in anger, Shall the earth be forsaken for you? Or shall the rock be removed from its place? 5 The light of the wicked indeed goes out, and the flame of his fire does not shine. 6 The light is dark in his tent, and his lamp beside him is put out. 7 The steps of his strength are shortened, and his own counsel casts him down. 8 For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walks into a snare. 9 The net takes him by the heel, and a snare lays hold of him. 10 A noose is hidden for him on the ground, and a trap for him in the road. 11 Terrors frighten him on every side, and drive him to his feet. 12 His strength is starved, and destruction is ready at his side. 13 It devours patches of his skin; the firstborn of death devours his limbs. 14 He is uprooted from the shelter of his tent, and they parade him before the king of terrors. 15 They dwell in his tent who are none of his; Brimstone is scattered on his habitation. 16 His roots are dried out below, and his branch withers above. 17 The memory of him perishes from the earth, and he has no name among the renowned. 18 He is driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world. 19 He has neither son nor posterity among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings. 20 Those in the west are astonished at his day, as those in the east are frightened. 21 Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him who does not know God.”

19

Then Job answered and said: 2 “How long will you torment my soul, and break me in pieces with words? 3 These ten times you have reproached me; you are not ashamed that you have wronged me.

Bildad dokazuje da Bog kaœnjava samo bezboœnike

Onda je Bildad iz Æuaha odgovarajuøi rekao: 2 “Kad øete svræiti to brbljanje, i opameti se, pa øemo onda govoriti dalje. 3 Zaæto da se smatramo kao stoka, zaæto smo ludi u vaæim oçima? 4 I ako se ti rastrgaæ u jarosti svojoj, mora li zbog tebe opustjeti svijet, ili se zato premjestiti hridina sa svojega mjesta? 5 Ipak øe se svjetlo zlikovca utrnuti, neøe viæe sjati plamen ognjiæta njegova. 6 I njegovu æatoru potamnjet øe svjetlo, i œiœak øe se njegov ugasiti u njemu. 7 Snaœni koraci njegovi stegnut øe se, njegova vlastita osnova sruæit øe ga. 8 Noga øe ga njegova goniti u mreœu, i naiøi øe na zamku. 9 Zamka øe ga uhvatiti za petu, i uœad øe ga drœati çvrsto. 10 Na tlu leœi skrivena za njega mreœa, zamka je na putu za njega spremljena. 11 Od svuda øe ga strahote straæe i tjeraju ga na njegove noge. 12 Vreba njega gladna nesreøa, nevolja øe biti spremna uz njega. 13 Guba øe rastoçiti koœu njegovu, prvenac smrti pojest øe udove njegove. 14 Iz æatora njegova, u koji se uzda, protjerat øe ga, odagnat øe ga kralju uœasa. 15 Mjesto njega nastanit øe se oganj u njegovu æatoru, posut øe se sumporom stan njegov. 16 Odozdol posuæit øe mu se korijenje, odozgor usahnut øe mu grane. 17 Spomen øe njegov iæçeznuti iz zemlje, niti øe mu imena biti po ulicama. 18 Odagnat øe se iz svijetla u tminu i izbacit øe se iz svijeta. 19 U njegovu narodu neøe mu ostati ni roda ni potomka, u njegovoj kuøi neøe viæe nitko œivjeti. 20 Prepast øe se od njegova dana na zapadu, obuzet øe strah ljude na istoku. 21 Tako øe biti s kuøom zlikovca, tako s mjestom onoga, koji ne mari za Boga.”

20

Then Zophar the Naamathite answered and said: 2 “Therefore my anxious thoughts make me answer, because of the turmoil within me. 3 I have heard the reproof that reproaches me, and the spirit of my understanding causes me to answer. 4 Do you not know this of old, since man was placed on earth, 5 That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite is but for a moment? 6 Though his haughtiness mounts up to the heavens, and his head reaches to the clouds, 7 Yet he will perish forever like his own refuse; those who have seen him will say, ‘Where is he?’

Sofar govori u istom smislu kao i Bildad

Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said: 2 “Can a man be profitable to God, though he who is wise may be profitable to himself? 3 Is it any pleasure to the Almighty that you are righteous? Or is it gain to him that you make your ways blameless? 4 Is it because of your fear of him that he reproves you, and enters into judgment with you? 5 Is not your wickedness great, And your iniquity without end? 6 For you have taken pledges from your brother for no reason, and stripped the naked of their clothing. 7 You have not given the weary water to drink, and you have withheld bread from the hungry. 8 But the mighty man possessed the land, and the honorable man dwelt in it. 9 You have sent widows away empty, and the strength of the fatherless was crushed. 10 Therefore snares are all around you, and sudden fear troubles you, 11 or darkness so that you cannot see; and an abundance of water covers you. 12 Is not God in the height of heaven?

Elifaz okrivljuje Joba

Ide li zato na sud s tobom? 5 Nije li tvoja zloøa neizmjerna, i nisu li tvoja zlodjela beskrajna? 6 Jer si uzimao zalog od svoje braøe ni za æto i svlaçio si haljine s golih. 7 Umornomu nisi pruœio vode, gladnomu si uskratio kruha. 8 Çovjeku sile pripada zemlja: tko ima ugleda, taj samo prebiva u njoj. 9 Udovice si otpuætao bez pomoøi i sirotama si lomio ruke. 10 Zato su zamke oko tebe, spopadne te tjeskoba i groza iznenada. 11 Ne vidiæ li mrak i poplavu æto te pokriva? 12 Nije li Bog visoko gore u nebu?

Can he diti kroz oblake? 14 Oblaci ga zastiru; ne moœe vidjeti niæta, judge through the deep darkness? 14 Thick clouds cover him, so that he cannot see, hoda po nebeskom svodu.’ 15 Hoøeæ li iøi putom staroga vremena, kojim and he walks above the circle of heaven.’ 15 Will you keep to the old way which wicked men su nekoø koraçali ljudi zlikovci? 16 Oni su iskorijenjeni prije vremena; rijeka je have trod, 16 who were cut down before their time, whose foun- poplavila njihovu zemlju. 17 Govorili su Bogu: ‘Idi od nas; æto bi nam dations were swept away by a flood? 17 They said to God, ‘Depart from us! What can the mogao uçiniti Svemoøni.’ 18 On im je ipak napunio kuøe dobrima. Daleko Almighty do to them?’ 18 Yet he filled their houses with good things; but the je od mene miæljenje bezboœnika. 19 Pravednici to vide puni radosti, i neduœni im counsel of the wicked is far from me. 19 The righteous see it and are glad, and the inno- se rugao: 20 ‘Zaista su protivnici naæi uniæteni. Oganj je cent laugh them to scorn: 20 ‘Surely our adversaries are cut down, and the fire proœdro ostatak njihov.’ 21 Sprijatelji se s njim i mir je s tobom; tako øe ti consumes their remnant.’ 21 Now acquaint yourself with him, and be at peace; sreøa doøi. 22 Primi iz njegovih usta pouku i stavio savjet thereby good will come to you. 22 Receive, please, instruction from his mouth, and njegov u svoje srce. 23 Ako se opet vratiæ k Svemoønomu, potaknut lay up his words in your heart. 23 If you return to the Almighty, you will be built up; øeæ se na dobro; ukloni zlo iz svojega æatora. 24 Stavio zlato u prah i ofir na hridinu potoka. you will remove iniquity far from your tents. 24 Then you will lay your gold in the dust, and the 25 Onda øe Svemoøni biti tvoje zlato i njegov naputak tvoje srebro. gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks. 25 Yes, the Almighty will be your gold and your pre- 26 Onda øeæ u Svemoønom naøi radost i podignut øeæ k Bogu svoje lice. cious silver; 26 for then you will have your delight in the Almighty, 27 Molit øeæ mu se i on øe te usliæati; æto si zavjetovao, ispunit øeæ mu. and lift up your face to God. 27 You will make your prayer to him, he will hear you, 28 Æto poduzmeæ, uspjet øe ti; na tvojim putovima svijetlit øe ti svjetlost. and you will pay your vows. 28 You will also declare a thing, and it will be estab- 29 Kad se poåe nizbrdo, viknut øeæ: ‘Usviæenje øe doøi,’ onda poniznomu Bog pruœa pomoø. lished for you; so light will shine on your ways. 29 When they cast you down, and you say, ‘Exalta- 30 On øe spasiti i onoga koji nije nevin; da, bit tion will come!’ then he will save the humble person. øeæ spaæen ako su ti ruke çiste.” 30 He will even deliver one who is not innocent; yes, he will be delivered by the purity of your hands.”

Then Job answered and said: 2 “Even today my complaint is bitter; my hand is listless because of my groaning. 3 Oh, that I knew where I might find him, that I might come to his seat! 4 I would present my case before him, and fill my mouth with arguments. 5 I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say to me. 6 Would he contend with me in his great power? No! But he would take note of me. 7 There the upright could reason with him, and I would be delivered forever from my Judge. 8 Look, I go forward, but he is not there, and backward, but I cannot perceive him; 9 when he works on the left hand, I cannot behold him; when he turns to the right hand, I cannot see him. 10 But he knows the way that I take; when he has tested me, I shall come forth as gold. 11 My foot has held fast to his steps; I have kept his way and not turned aside. 12 I have not departed from the commandment of his lips; I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my necessary food. 13 But he is unique, and who can make him change? And whatever his soul desires, that he does. 14 For he performs what is appointed for me, and many such things are with him. 15 Therefore I am terrified at his presence; when I consider this, I am afraid of him. 16 For God made my heart weak, and the Almighty terrifies me;

Jobov govor: hoøe da ga Bog proglasi neduœnim

Onda je Job odgovarajuøi rekao: 2 “Tako je i danas tuœba moja kao prkos; teæko tiæti njegova ruka moje uzdisanje. 3 O, kad bih znao gdje bih ga naæao, da stupim pred njegov sud. 4 Iznio bih pred njega stvar svoju, puna dokaza bila bi mi usta. 5 Œelio bih znati rijeçi æto bi mi ih odgovorio; htio bih saznati æto bi mi rekao. 6 Bi li se u svojoj velikoj moøi prepirao sa mnom? Ne, on bi pripazio na me. 7 Ondje bi se pravednik mogao prepirati s njim, pred svojim sucem oslobodio bih se dovijeka. 8 Ali poåem li prema istoku: nema ga ondje; poåem li prema zapadu, ne vidim ga. 9 Radi li na sjeveru, ne nahodim ga, okrene li prema jugu, ne mogu ga vidjeti. 10 Ali on zna put moj, kad bi me prokuæao, iziæao bih kao zlato. 11 Koraka se njegova drœala çvrsto moja noga, njegova puta sam se drœao i nisam nikada skrenuo. 12 Od zapovijedi njegovih usta nisam odstupao nikada; rijeçi njegovih usta çuvao sam u grudima svojim. 13 Uvijek je sebi jednak; tko øe ga odvratiti æto njegova duæa zaœeli, ono uçini. 14 On øe dovræiti i moju sudbinu, i u njemu ima joæ toga mnogo. 15 Zato se prestraæim pred njegovim licem i kad pomislim na to, strah me je od njega. 16 Bog je moje srce uçinio straæljivim; Sve-

“Since times are not hidden from the Al mighty, Why do those who know him see not his days? 2 Some remove landmarks; they seize flocks violently and feed on them; 3 they drive away the donkey of the fatherless; they take the widow’s ox as a pledge. 4 They push the needy off the road, so that the poor of the land are forced to hide. 5 Indeed, like wild donkeys in the desert, they go out to their work, seeking diligently for food. The wilderness yields food for them and for their children. 6 They gather their fodder in the field and glean in the vineyard of the wicked. 7 They spend the night naked, without clothing, and have no covering in the cold. 8 They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and huddle around the rock for want of shelter. 9 Some snatch the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge from the poor. 10 They cause the poor to go naked, without clothing; and they take away the sheaves from the hungry. 11 They press out oil within their walls, and tread winepresses, yet suffer thirst. 12 The dying groan in the city, and the souls of the wounded cry out; yet God does not charge them with wrong. 13 There are those who rebel against the light; they do not know its ways nor abide in its paths. 14 The murderer rises with the light; he kills the poor and needy; and in the night he is like a thief. 15 The eye of the adulterer waits for the twilight, saying, ‘No eye will see me’; and he disguises his face. 16 In the dark they break into houses which they marked for themselves in the daytime; they do not know the light. 17 For the morning is the same to them as the shadow of death; if someone recognizes them, they are in the terrors of the shadow of death. 18 They should be swift on the face of the waters, their portion should be cursed in the earth, so that no one would turn into the way of their vineyards. 19 As drought and heat consume the snow waters, so should the grave those who have sinned. 20 The womb should forget him, the worm should feed sweetly on him; he should be remembered no more, and wickedness should be broken like a tree. 21 For he preys on the barren who do not bear, and does no good for the widow. 22 But God draws the mighty away with his power; he rises up, but no man is sure of life. 23 He gives them security, and they rely on it; yet his eyes are on their ways. 24 They are exalted for a little while, then they are gone. they are brought low; they are taken out of the way like all others; they dry out like the heads of grain. 25 Now if it is not so, who will prove me a liar, and make my speech worth nothing?”

25

Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said: 2 Dominion and fear belong to him; he makes peace in his high places. 3 Is there any number to his armies? Upon whom does his light not rise? 4 How then can man be righteous before God? Or how can he be pure who is born of a woman? 5 If even the moon does not shine, and the stars are not pure in his sight,

Nastavak Jobova govora: razni grjeænici

Zaæto Svemoøni nije odredio kaznena vremena? Zaæto vjernici njegovi ne gledaju sudbenih dana njegovih? 2 Meåe se pomiçu, stada se otimaju i gone se na paæu. 3 Sirotama odgone magarca; u zalogu uzimaju govedo udovici. 4 Siromahe odbijaju s puta, i tko je god bijedan u zemlji, mora se skrivati. 5 Eto, kao divlji magarci u pustinji izlaze oni na svoj posao, da traœe sebi hranu; pustinja im daje kruh za djecu. 6 Na polju kose sijeno, pabirçe u vinogradu zlikovca. 7 Bez haljina noøuju goli, na zimi nemaju pokrivaça. 8 Pokisnuo od kiæe u gori, bez krova privijaju se k stijeni. 9 Od prsiju majçinih trgaju siroçe, siromaha tlaçe pljenidbom. 10 Hodaju goli, bez haljina, i gladni vuku snopove. 11 U svojim zidinama cijede ulje, groœåe u kacama gaze, a œeåaju. 12 Stenju pod ljudskim bjesnilom, viçe duæa ranjenih na smrt, a Bog ne pazi nikad na sramotu. 13 Drugi su kod neprijatelja svjetlosti, ne poznaju njezinih putova i ne ostaju na njezinim stazama. 14 Zorom ustaje krvnik, ubija uboge i siromahe, lupeœ se skita okolo po noøi. 15 Oko preljubnika oçekuje sumrak, misli: ‘Nijedno me oko ne vidi,’ i skriva svoje lice. 16 U mraku provaljuju u kuøe, a po danu se zakljuçavaju, neøe da æto znaju za svjetlost. 17 Jer je jutro njima svima jedna groza, vrijeme kad se moœe vidjeti smrtna strahota. 18 Neka propadne na povræini vode. Neka je u zemlji prokleta njegova baætina. Neka ne krene viæe nikada vinogradskom stazom. 19 Kao æto suha œega siæe snjeœnu vodu: tako podzemni svijet zlikovce. 20 Neka ga zaboravi majçina utroba. Neka se crvi na njemu naslaåuju. Neka ga se nikada ne spominje. Kao drvo skræit øe se zloøa. 21 Neka se zdruœi s neplodnom koja ne raåa; on koji nije uçinio niæta dobro udovici. 22 Ipak daje njegova moø dug œivot silnicima; on ustane opet, makar se viæe nije uzdao u œivot. 23 Dao mu u æto øe se pouzdati, bude poduprt, njegove su oçi na njihovim putovima. 24 Uzvisuju se–zamalo, pa ih viæe nema; padaju, prolaze kao sve; odreœe ih se kao vrhove klasja. 25 Ili, zar nije tako? Tko øe me utjerati u laœ? Tko øe pokazati moj govor kao niætav?” Govor Bildadov: pred Bogom nitko nije pravedan

25

Onda je Bildad iz Æuaha odgovarajuøi rekao: 2 “Moœe li strahotom vladati onaj koji mirno çini red na visinama? 3 vojskama njegovim ima li broja? I koga ne obasjava svjetlost njegova? 4 Kako moœe biti çovjek u pravu protiv Boga? I

Job

-618Job 6 how much less man, who is a maggot, and a son of kako moœe biti çist roåen od œene? 5 Eto, ni mjesec ne sja bez ljage, ni zvijezde man, who is a worm?” nisu çiste u njegovim oçima, 6 a koliko manje çovjek koji je crv, i sin çovjekov koji je crviø.”

26

But Job answered and said: 2 How have you helped him who is without power? How have you saved the arm that has no strength? 3 How have you counseled one who has no wisdom? And how have you declared sound advice to many? 4 To whom have you uttered words? And whose spirit came from you? 5 The dead tremble, those under the waters and those inhabiting them. 6 Sheol is naked before him, and Destruction has no covering. 7 He stretches out the north over empty space; he hangs the earth on nothing. 8 He binds up the water in his thick clouds, yet the clouds are not broken under it. 9 He covers the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud over it. 10 He drew a circular horizon on the face of the waters, at the boundary of light and darkness. 11 The pillars of heaven tremble, and are astonished at his reproof. 12 He stirs up the sea with his power, and by his understanding he breaks up the storm. 13 By his Spirit he adorned the heavens; his hand pierced the fleeing serpent. 14 indeed these are the mere edges of his ways, and how small a whisper we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?”

27

Moreover Job continued his discourse, and said: 2 “As God lives, who has taken away my justice, and the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter, 3 as long as my breath is in me, and the breath of God in my nostrils, 4 my lips will not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit. 5 Far be it from me that I should say you are right; till I die I will not put away my integrity from me. 6 My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go; my heart shall not reproach me as long as I live. 7 May my enemy be like the wicked, and he who rises up against me like the unrighteous. 8 For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he may gain much, if God takes away his life? 9 Will God hear his cry when trouble comes upon him? 10 Will he delight himself in the Almighty? Will he always call on God? 11 I will teach you about the hand of God; what is with the Almighty I will not conceal. 12 Surely all of you have seen it; why then do you behave with complete nonsense? 13 This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, received from the Almighty: 14 If his children are multiplied, it is for the sword; and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread. 15 Those who survive him shall be buried in death, and their widows shall not weep, 16 Though he heaps up silver like dust, and piles up clothing like clay– 17 he may pile it up, but the just will wear it, and the innocent will divide the silver. 18 He builds his house like a moth, like a booth which

Govor Jobov: veliçina Boœja

Ali Job je odgovarajuøi rekao: 2 “Kako si tako krasno pomogao nemoøi, podupro ruku onomu kojem se skræila jakost. 3 Kako si tako dobro svjetovao ludost i mudrost izobilja iznio na svjetlo. 4 A koga si to htio pouçiti; çiji je duh iziæao iz tebe? 5 Njega se straæe mrtvi pod vodama i njihovim stanovnicima. 6 Otkriven je pred njim podzemni svijet, carstvo mrtvih bez pokrova. 7 Nad prazninom razastire on sjever, iznad niæta daje da lebdi zemlja. 8 U oblake svoje goni vode, a da se pod njima ne rasprsnu oblaci. 9 On prekriva lice prijestolja svojega i razapinje nad njim svoj oblak. 10 On vuçe okrug oko povræine vode, gdje svjetlost graniçi s tminom. 11 Stupovi neba tresu se i dræøu od prijetnje njegove. 12 Svojom snagom çini da buçi more, mudroæøu svojom razbija Rahaba. 13 Dah njegov razvedri nebesa, njegova ruka probode hitru zmiju. 14 Ali to su tek obrubi njegova upravljanja, æapat je to samo æto çujemo o njemu. I tko da razumije grom svemoøi njegove?”

27

Job govori o sebi i o bezboœnicima

Job je dalje nastavio svoj govor i rerekao: 2 “Tako da je œiv Bog, koji mi oduzeo pravo moje, Svemoøni, koji mi ogorçio moj œivot. 3 Dok je joæ dah moj u meni, i duh Boœji dok me oœivljava, 4 neøe moje usne govoriti niæta krivo, niti øe moj jezik lagati. 5 Daleko neka je od mene da vam dadem pravo; dok ne umrem, ja ne tajim svoje neduœnosti. 6 Çvrsto stojim uz pravednost svoju i ne ostavljam je; moje srce ne kori nijednoga dana mojega. 7 Neprijatelju mojemu neka bude kao zlikovcu, mojem protivniku kao bezboœniku. 8 Jer kakvo je nadanje bezboœniku kad Bog odreœe i iæçupa duæu njegovu? 9 Hoøe li Bog çuti jauk njegov kad nevolja navali na njega? 10 Moœe li se radovati Svemoønomu i pozivati se na Boga u svako vrijeme? 11 Hoøu da vas pouçim o djelovanju Boœjemu; neøu sakriti æto odreåuje Svemoøni. 12 Eto, vi ste ipak svi to iskusili, pa zaæto se zaludu nadate? 13 To je dio zlikovcu kod Boga, i to je nasilnicima baætina koju primaju od Svemoønoga: 14 ako mu se mnoœe sinovi, to je za maç; potomci njegovi nemaju se çim nasititi. 15 Koji ostanu iza njega, pograbi ih pomor u grob; udovice njegove ne drœe tugovanja. 16 Ako i nakupi srebra kao praha i hrpa haljina kao blata, 17 ostavi ih na stranu, ali ih odjene pravednik, i

Job

-622Job my maidservant when they complained against me, 13 Ako sam prezreo pravo svojega sluge, 14 what then shall I do when God rises up? When he svoje sluækinje, kad su imali raspravu sa mnom, punishes, how shall I answer him? 15 Did not he who made me in the womb make them? 14 æto da uçinim, kad se diœe Bog? Kad on potraœuje æto da mu se odgovori? Did not the same One fashion us in the womb? 16 If I have kept the poor from their desire, or caused 15 Nije li u utrobi majçinoj Stvoritelj moj stvorio i njega; nas obojicu on isti sazdao u utrobi mathe eyes of the widow to fail, 17 or eaten my morsel by myself, so that the father- jçinoj? 16 Ako sam odbio œelju siromasima i dao da less may not eat of it 18 (But from my youth I reared him as a father, and venu oçi udovici, 17 i ako sam zalogaj svoj sam jeo, a nije sirota from my mother’s womb I guided the widow); 19 if I have seen anyone perish for lack of clothing, or uzela od toga dio svoj? 18 A ja sam ju kao otac odgajao od mladosti, any poor man without covering; 20 if his heart has not blessed me, and if he was not vodio sam ju od utrobe svoje majke. 19 Ako sam vidio ostavljene bez odjeøe i sirowarmed with the fleece of my sheep; 21 if I have raised my hand against the fatherless, maha bez pokrivala, 20 i nisu mi zahvaljivala njegova bedra, jer ga je when I saw I had help in the gate; 22 Then let my arm fall from my shoulder, let my arm ugrijalo runo mojih ovaca? 21 Ako sam ikada zamahnuo rukom na sirote, be torn from the socket. 23 For destruction from God is a terror to me, and jer na vratima sam naæao svoju pomoø, 22 onda neka mi ispadne rame iz pleøa i moja because of his magnificence I could not endure. 24 If I have made gold my hope, or said to fine gold, ruka neka se otkine iz zglobova. 23 Jer bi mi straæan bio kazneni sud Boœji; kad ‘You are my confidence’; 25 If I have rejoiced because my wealth was great, bi on ustao, ne bih mu odolio. 24 Ako sam polagao na zlato nadanje svoje, and because my hand had gained much; 26 If I have observed the sun when it shines, or the çistomu zlatu govorio: moje uzdanje. 25 Ako sam se veselio æto mi je posjed velik i moon moving in brightness, 27 so that my heart has been secretly enticed, and æto je veø toliko stekla moja ruka; 26 ako sam gledao na sunce kako sja i na mjemy mouth has kissed my hand; 28 this also would be an iniquity worthy of judgment, sec kako ponosit hodi; 27 ako se moje srce dalo potajno zaludjeti, i ja for I would have denied God who is above. 29 If I have rejoiced at the destruction of him who mu poslao poljubac. 28 I to bi bila zlodjela æto spada na suca da kahated me, or lifted myself up when evil found him 30 (Indeed I have not allowed my mouth to sin by zni, jer sam zanijekao Boga u visini. 29 Ako sam se radovao padu svojega neprijaasking for a curse on his soul); 31 if the men of my tent have not said, ‘Who is there telja i veselio se kad bi ga snaæla nesreøa; 30 ali nikada nisam dao svojim ustima da sagrithat has not been satisfied with his meat?’ 32 (But no sojourner had to lodge in the street, for I jeæe traœeøi njegov œivot s proklinjanjem; 31 Zaista, moji suvremenici priznali su: ‘Tko se have opened my doors to the traveler); 33 if I have covered my transgressions as Adam, by nije nasitio od njegova jela?’ 32 Doæljak nije trebao noøiti vani; vrata su moja hiding my iniquity in my bosom, 34 because I feared the great multitude, and dreaded stajala putniku otvorena. the contempt of families, so that I kept silence and 33 Ako sam, kao æto je uçinio Adam, tajio svoje grijehe i skrivao svoja zlodjela u svojim did not go out of the door– 35 Oh, that I had one to hear me!

32

So these three men ceased answering Job, because he was righteous in his own

eyes. 2 Then the wrath of Elihu, the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram, was aroused against Job; his wrath was aroused because he justified himself rather than God. 3 Also against his three friends his wrath was aroused, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.

Eliu ustaje i optuœuje Joba

Tako su ona tri çovjeka su prestali odgovarati Jobu, jer je on sada bio pravedan u njihovim oçima. 2 Onda se raspalio gnjev Elihua, sina Barakelov iz Buza iz roda Ramova. Raspali se njegov gnjev na Joba, jer se je sebe samog drœao pravednim a ne Boga. 3 I na tri prijatelja njegova raspali se njegov gnjev, jer viæe nisu naæli odgovora, a Joba su ipak

But please, Job, hear my speech, and listen to all my words. 2 Now, I open my mouth; my tongue speaks in my mouth. 3 My words come from my upright heart; my lips utter pure knowledge. 4 The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life. 5 If you can answer me, set your words in order before me; take your stand. 6 Truly I am as your spokesman before God; I also have been formed out of clay. 7 Surely no fear of me will terrify you, nor will my hand be heavy on you. 8 Surely you have spoken in my hearing, and I have heard the sound of your words, saying, 9 I am pure, without transgression; I am innocent, and there is no iniquity in me. 10 Yet he finds occasions against me, he counts me as his enemy; 11 He puts my feet in the stocks, he watches all my paths.’ 12 Look, in this you are not righteous. I will answer you, for God is greater than man. 13 Why do you contend with him? For he does not give an accounting of any of his words. 14 For God may speak in one way, or in another, yet

Eliu nastavlja svoj govor

Çuj Jobe, posluæaj moj govor i svim mojim rijeçima nagni svoje uho. 2 Evo, veø sam otvorio svoja usta, moj jezik neka krepko govori. 3 Moje rijeçi proizlaze iz iskrena srca, moje usne govore çistu istinu. 4 Duh me je Boœji stvorio, dah me je Svemoønoga oœivio. 5 Ako mogneæ, opovrgni me, pripravi se da mi se suprotstaviæ. 6 Eto, pred Bogom vrijedim toliko koliko i ti; i ja sam od kala naçinjen. 7 Eto, preda mnom te ne treba straæiti tjeskoba; pritisak kakav od mene te neøe pritisnuti. 8 A sada ti kaœeæ pred uæima mojim–posve sam jasno çuo te rijeçi: 9 çist sam, bez mane, neduœan sam i bez krivnje zlodjela u meni. 10 On traœi samo izlike protiv mene, vidi u meni svojega neprijatelja. 11 Noge je moje nategnuo u klade, pazi na sve moje staze. 12 Ovdje nisi u pravu, pa ti odgovaram, jer je Bog viæe negoli çovjek. 13 Kako se moœeæ tu prepirati s njim, ne odgovara on çovjeku na svaku rijeç.

Elihu further answered and said: 2 “Hear my words, you wise men; give ear to me, you who have knowledge. 3 For the ear tests words as the palate tastes food. 4 Let us choose justice for ourselves; let us know among ourselves what is good. 5 For Job has said, ‘I am righteous, but God has taken away my justice; 6 Should I lie concerning my right? My wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.’ 7 What man is like Job, who drinks scorn like water, 8 who goes in company with the workers of iniquity, and walks with wicked men? 9 For he has said, ‘It profits a man nothing that he should delight in God.’ 10 Therefore listen to me, you men of understanding: far be it from God to do wickedness, and from the Almighty to commit iniquity. 11 For he repays man according to his work, and makes man to find a reward according to his way. 12 Surely God will never do wickedly, nor will the Almighty pervert justice. 13 Who gave him charge over the earth? Or who appointed him over the whole world? 14 If he should set his heart on it, if he should gather to himself his Spirit and his breath,

Boœja pravedna svemoø

Elihu je nadalje odgovarajuøi rekao: 2 “Çujte, mudri, moje rijeçi, vi razumni ljudi, posluæajte me. 3 Jer uho istraœuje rijeçi, kao æto grlo kuæa jelo. 4 Æto je pravo, istraœit øemo æto je dobro, izvidjet øemo za se. 5 Job je ustvrdio: ‘Pravedan sam, ipak mi je Bog oduzeo moju pravicu. 6 Ja sam kao laœljivac protiv svoje pravice, bez krivnje me pogodila strijela smrtna.’ 7 Gdje je joæ çovjek kao Job koji pije psovku kao vodu? 8 Koji se pridruœio zlikovcima i opøio s bezboœnim i opakim ljudima. 9 Ipak tvrdi: ‘Niæta ne koristi çovjeku œivjeti s Bogom u prijateljstvu.’ 10 Zato me posluæajte, ljudi razumni. Daleko je od Boga da çini zlo, od Svemoønoga da çini zlodjela. 11 On samo vraøa çovjeku po njegovu djelu i puæta da ga snaåe po njegovu œivotu. 12 Zaista, Bog ne radi nepravedno, Svemoøni ne prevrøe pravde. 13 Tko se s njim brine za zemlju?

35

Moreover Elihu answered and said: 2 “Do you think this is right? Do you say, ‘My righteousness is more than God’s’? 3 For you say, ‘What advantage will it be to you? What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned?’ 4 I will answer you, and your companions with you. 5 Look to the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than you. 6 If you sin, what do you accomplish against him? Or, if your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to him? 7 If you are righteous, what do you give him? Or what does he receive from your hand? 8 Your wickedness affects a man such as you, and your righteousness a son of man. 9 Because of the multitude of oppressions they cry out; they cry out for help because of the arm of the mighty. 10 But no one says, ‘Where is God my Maker, Who

At this also my heart trembles, and leaps from its place. 2 Hear attentively the thunder of his voice, and the rumbling that comes from his mouth. 3 He sends it forth under the whole heaven, his lightning to the ends of the earth. 4 After it a voice roars; he thunders with his majestic voice, and he does not restrain them when his voice is heard. 5 God thunders marvelously with his voice; he does great things which we cannot comprehend. 6 For he says to the snow, ‘Be on the earth’; likewise to the gentle rain and the heavy rain of his strength. 7 He seals the hand of every man, that all men may know his work. 8 The animals enter dens, and remain in their lairs. 9 From the chamber of the south comes the whirlwind, and cold from the scattering winds of the north. 10 By the breath of God ice is given, and the broad waters are frozen. 11 Also with moisture he saturates the thick clouds; he scatters his bright clouds. 12 and they swirl about, being turned by his guidance, that they may do whatever he commands them on the face of the whole earth. 13 He causes it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy. 14 Listen to this, O Job; stand still and consider the wondrous works of God. 15 Do you know when God dispatches them, and causes the light of his cloud to shine? 16 Do you know the balance of clouds, those wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge? 17 Why are your garments hot, when he quiets the earth by the south wind? 18 With him, have you spread out the skies, strong as a cast metal mirror? 19 Teach us what we should say to him, for we can prepare nothing because of the darkness. 20 Should he be told that I wish to speak? If a man were to speak, surely he would be swallowed up. 21 Even now men cannot look at the light when it is bright in the skies, when the wind has passed and cleared them. 22 He comes from the north as golden splendor; with God is awesome majesty. 23 As for the Almighty, we cannot find him; he is excellent in power, in judgment and abundant justice; he does not oppress. 24 Therefore men fear him; he shows no partiality to any who are wise of heart.”

Moø i veliçina Boœja u prirodi

Moje srce dræøe od toga, glasno kuca na svojem mjestu. 2 Sluæaj. Sluæaj kako tutnji njegov grom, kako se ori iz njegovih usta. 3 Puæta da sijeva pod cijelim nebom njegova munja do na kraj zemlje. 4 Za njom riçe grom, glasno se ori jaki njegov glas, on ga ne smanjuje–çuje se njegov zov. 5 Silan je Bog u buri; çini velike stvari, mi to ne shvaøamo. 6 Onda govori snijegu: ‘Padaj na zemlju.’ Tako i kiæi i njegovim silnim prolomima oblaka. 7 Tako prisili ruku svim ljudima na poçinak, da svi ljudi upoznaju njegovo djelovanje. 8 Onda se zvijer uvlaçi u svoju jamu i polijeœe u svojim æpiljama. 9 Onda se prolomi bura iz svojega mjesta i sa sjevera doåe studen. 10 Od daha Boœjega odveœe se led, æiroke rijeke otisnu se u dolinu. 11 Ali veø svjetlost protjera oblake i sjajno svjetlo prodre oblake. 12 I on opet hoda unaokolo, sad ovamo, sad onamo–po odluci svojoj, da sve oni izvræe æto im zapovjeda na zemlji. 13 Uçini da doåu, bilo na kaznu za njegovu zemlju, bilo na dobroçinstvo. 14 Çuj to, Jobe, stani, promatraj Boœja sjajna djela. 15 Znaæ li kako to Bog uredi da u oblacima zasja svjetlost munje? 16 Razumijeæ li kako vise oblaci–çudesna djela Sveznajuøega? 17 Zaæto su ti haljine odviæe tople kad sjedi zemlja pod juœnim vjetrom? 18 Moœeæ li razapeti nebo kao on, tvrdo kao saliveno zrcalo? 19 Daj nauçi nas kako da mu zapovjedamo. Mi smo nemoøni pred mrakom. 20 Hoøe li se on protjerati na moju zapovijed? Zapovjedi li çovjek kada iæçezne? 21 A sada–ne vidi se svjetlost sunçana kad sja nad oblacima, onda samo iskoçi vjetar i izmete ih. 22 Zlatna svjetlost zasja od sjevera; slava pripada strahovitom Bogu, 23 Svemoønomu, koga nikada nismo shvatili; velik je u moøi; sudi pravedno po svojoj obilnoj pravednosti i ne çini nasilja. 24 Zato ga se boje ljudi; On ne pokazuje pristranost nikomu tko je mudar srcem.”

Do you know the time when the wild moun tain goats bear young? Or can you mark when the deer gives birth? 2 Can you number the months that they fulfill? Or do you know the time when they bear young? 3 They bow down, they bring forth their young, they deliver their offspring. 4 Their young ones are healthy, they grow strong with grain; they depart and do not return to them. 5 Who set the wild donkey free? Who loosed the bonds of the onager, 6 Whose home I have made the wilderness, And the barren land his dwelling? 7 he scorns the tumult of the city; he does not heed the shouts of the driver. 8 The range of the mountains is his pasture, and he searches after every green thing. 9 Will the wild ox be willing to serve you? Will he bed by your manger? 10 Can you bind the wild ox in the furrow with ropes? Or will he plow the valleys behind you? 11 Will you trust him because his strength is great? Or will you leave your labor to him? 12 Will you trust him to bring home your grain, and gather it to your threshing floor? 13 The wings of the ostrich wave proudly, but are her wings and pinions like the kindly stork’s? 14 For she leaves her eggs on the ground, and warms them in the dust; 15 she forgets that a foot may crush them, or that a wild beast may break them. 16 She treats her young harshly, as though they were not hers; her labor is in vain, without concern, 17 because God deprived her of wisdom, and did not endow her with understanding. 18 When she lifts herself on high, she scorns the horse and its rider. 19 Have you given the horse strength? Have you clothed his neck with thunder? 20 Can you frighten him like a locust? His majestic snorting strikes terror. 21 He paws in the valley, and rejoices in his strength; he gallops into the clash of arms. 22 He mocks at fear, and is not frightened; nor does he turn back from the sword. 23 The quiver rattles against him, the glittering spear and javelin. 24 He devours the distance with fierceness and rage; nor does he stand firm, because the trumpet has sounded. 25 At the blast of the trumpet he says, ‘Aha!’ he smells the battle from afar, the thunder of captains and shouting. 26 Does the hawk fly by your wisdom, and spread its wings toward the south? 27 Does the eagle mount up at your command, and make its nest on high? 28 It dwells on the rock, and resides on the crag of the rock and the stronghold. 29 From there it spies out the prey; its eyes observe from afar. 30 Its young ones suck up blood; and where the slain are, there it is.”

Znaæ li vrijeme kad se divokoze legu? Vidiæ li kad se koæute legu? 2 Brojiæ li mjesece dokle nose, znaæ li vrijeme kada se legu? 3 Savijaju se i mlade legu; lako se oslobaåaju svojih bolova. 4 Kozliøi su njihovi jaki i rastu vani, odu i viæe se ne vraøaju. 5 Tko je dao slobodu divljemu magarcu, tko je razrijeæio remene tomu divljaku, 6 komu sam dao pustinju za kuøu i slanu pustoæ za stan. 7 On se smije vrevi gradskoj, ne sluæa vike goniça; 8 gorama prolazi i pase, nanjuæi svaku zelen. 9 Hoøe li ti dragovoljno sluœiti divlji bik i noøiti za tvojim jaslama? 10 Moœeæ li divljega bika uœem prisiliti u plug, da za tobom reœe brazde? 11 Moœeæ li se osloniti na njega, jer mu je snaga tako silna i ostavljaæ li na njemu svoj posao? 12 Misliæ li da øe ti on svesti ljetinu i na tvoje gumno sloœiti. 13 Noj pokreøe œivo krila, kao da su krila i perje rode, 14 a on povjerio svoja jaja zemlji, pusti ih da se griju na pijesku; 15 nije mu briga hoøe li ih noga pogaziti ili ih divlja zvijer razbiti. 16 Tvrdo postupa s mladima svojim kao da nisu njegovi; ne brine se je li mu je trud uzaludan. 17 Jer mu Bog nije udijelio mudrosti, nije mu dao nimalo razboritosti. 18 Ali kad se visoko podigao, smije se konju i konjaniku. 19 Jesi li ti dao konju snagu, jesi li mu uresio vrat grivom? 20 Hoøeæ li ga prestraæiti kao skakavca; njegovo krasno hrzanje u strah nagoni? 21 Kopa zemlju, veseo je zbog snage, nasrøe na oruœje; 22 ruga se strahu, ne straæi se i ne uzmiçe ispred maça. 23 Pozvekuje nad njim tobolac, sijeva koplje i sulica. 24 On ljutito topøe i kopa zemlju, i ne zadrœa ga kad zatrubi bojna truba. 25 Svaki put kad zatrubi, on zarœe: Ih-hi-ih. Izdaleka veø nanjuæi boj, gromki glas çelovoåa, bojnu viku. 26 Je li po tvojoj mudrosti poleti jastrijeb, raæiri krila svoja na jug? 27 Je li se po tvojoj uputi visoko diœe orao da na visini savije svoje gnijezdo? 28 Na hridini ima svoje gnijezdo, vidik svoj na strmoj vrleti. 29 Odatle vreba na plijen, daleko mu vide oçi. 30 Ptiøi njegovi srçu krv; gdje leœe leæine, ondje su oni.”

Then Job answered the LORD and said: 2 “I know that you can do everything, and that no purpose of yours can be withheld from you. 3 You asked, ‘Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge?’ Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I did not know. 4 Listen, please, and let me speak; you said, ‘I will question you, and you shall answer me.’ 5 I have heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you. 6 Therefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.” 7 And so it was, after the LORD had spoken these words to Job, that the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is aroused against you and your two friends, for you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has. 8 Now therefore, take for yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you. For I will accept him, lest I deal with you according to your folly; because you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has.” 9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did as the LORD commanded them; for the LORD had accepted Job.

Job se ponizno pokorava

Onda je Job odgovorio Gospodinu i rekao: 2 “Znam da sve moœeæ, da se ne moœe smesti æto naumiæ. 3 Ti pitaæ: ‘Tko je to æto zamraçuje nakanu Boœju nerazumnim govorima?’ Tako sam govorio bez razumijevanja; bilo je odviæe çudesno, a da bih shvatio. 4 Sluæaj, dozvoli mi govoriti, ja øu te pitati a ti meni odgovori. 5 Uæima bio sam çuo o tebi; a sada te je vidjelo moje oko. 6 Zato opozivam i kajem se u prahu i pepelu.” 7 I kad je bio Gospodin tako izgovorio Jobu, rekao je Gospodin Elifazu iz Temana: “Moj se gnjev raspalio na tebe i na oba prijatelja tvoja, jer niste pravo govorili o meni kao moj sluga Job. 8 Zato sada uzmite sedam bikova i sedam ovnova, idite k mojem sluzi Jobu i prinesite œrtvu za sebe. A moj sluga Job neka se pomoli za vas, jer samo zbog njega neøu uçiniti s vama po vaæoj ludosti, jer niste pravo govorili o meni kao moj sluga Job.” 9 Onda su otiæli Elifaz iz Temana, Bildad iz Æuaha i Sofar iz Naama i uçine kako im je zapovjedio Gospodin. I Gospodin je pogledao na

Psalms

Psalmi KNJIGA PSALMI

Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; 2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and in his law he meditates day and night. 3 He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper. 4 The ungodly are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind drives away. 5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 6 For the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Blagoslovljen je çovjek, koji ne stoji u vijeøu bezboœnika i ne ide putom grjeænika i ne sjedi u druætvu opakih. 2 Nego je njegova radost u zakonu Gospodinovu i o njegovu zakonu razmiælja dan i noø. 3 On je kao drvo usaåeno na vodenim potocima, koje svoj rod donosi u pravo vrijeme i komu liæøe ne vene; æto on radi, sve uspijeva. 4 Nisu takvi bezboœnici, nego su kao pljeva koju raznosi vjetar. 5 Zato se ne mogu bezboœnici odrœati na sudu, ni grjeænici na skupætini pravednika. 6 Jer Gospodin zna za put pravenika, a put bezboœnika vodi u propast.

Why do the nations rage, and the people plot a vain thing? 2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD and against his Anointed, saying, 3 Let us break their bonds in pieces and cast away their cords from us.” 4 He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; the LORD shall hold them in derision. 5 Then he shall speak to them in his wrath, and distress them in his deep displeasure: 6 “Yet I have set my King on my holy hill of Zion.” 7 I will declare the decree: the LORD has said to me, ‘You are my Son, today I have begotten you. 8 Ask of me, and I will give you the nations for your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for your possession. 9 You shall break them with a rod of iron; You shall dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.’ ” 10 Now therefore, be wise, o kings; be instructed, you judges of the earth. 11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

Ah, Gospodine, kako je mnogo neprijatelja mojih. Mnogi su koji se diœu protiv mene. 2 Mnogi su koji govore o meni: “Nema mu viæe spasenja kod Boga.” Selah. 3 Ali ti si, Gospodine, moj ætit i onaj koji mi glavu podiœe. 4 Kad povikao sam iza glasa Gospodinu, on me usliæao na svojoj svetoj gori. Selah. 5 Legnuo sam i zaspao i probudio se opet, jer me zaætitio Gospodin. 6 Zato se ne straæim bezbrojna naroda, koji me opkoljava. 7 Digni se, Gospodine, pomozi mi, moj Boœe. Ti si razbio çeljust svim mojim neprijateljima, polomi zube bezboœnicima. 8 Spasenje stoji u moøi Gospodina; na tvoj narod neka doåe blagoslov tvoj. Selah.

Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have relieved me when I was in distress; Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer. 2 How long, o you sons of men, will you turn my glory to shame? How long will you love worthlessness and seek falsehood? Selah 3 But know that the LORD has set apart for himself him who is godly; the LORD will hear when I call to him. 4 Be angry, and do not sin. Meditate within your heart on your bed, and be still. Selah 5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD. 6 There are many who say, “Who will show us any good?” LORD, lift up the light of your countenance upon us. 7 You have put gladness in my heart, more than in the season that their grain and wine increased. 8 I will both lie down in peace, and sleep; for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.

Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation. 2 Give heed to the voice of my cry, my King and my God, for to you I will pray. 3 My voice you shall hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning I will direct it to you, and I will look up. 4 For you are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness, nor shall evil dwell with you. 5 The boastful shall not stand in your sight; you hate all workers of iniquity. 6 You shall destroy those who speak falsehood; the LORD abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man. 7 But as for me, I will come into your house in the multitude of your mercy; in fear of you I will worship toward your holy temple. 8 Lead me, O LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies; make your way straight before my face. 9 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is destruction; their throat is an open tomb; they flatter with their tongue. 10 Pronounce them guilty, O God! Let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions, for they have rebelled against you. 11 But let all those rejoice who put their trust in you;

Molitva u velikoj nevolji. Psalam Davidov

LORD, how they have increased who trouble me! Many are they who rise up against me. 2 Many are they who say of me, “There is no help for him in God.” Selah 3 But you, O LORD, are a shield for me, my glory and the one who lifts up my head. 4 I cried to the LORD with my voice, and he heard me from his holy hill. Selah 5 I lay down and slept; I awoke, for the LORD sustained me. 6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people who have set themselves against me all around. 7 Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God! For you have struck all my enemies on the cheekbone; you have broken the teeth of the ungodly. 8 Salvation belongs to the LORD. Your blessing is upon your people. Selah

Pouzdanje u Boga. Psalam Davidov

Kad zovnem, usliæa me, o Boœe moje pravednosti! Ti si mi uvijek pomogao u tjeskobi, smiluj mi se, usliæaj moju molitvu! 2 Vi ljudi, zaæto sramotite çast moju, ljubite prijevaru i mislite na laœ? Selah. 3 Uvidite da çudesno pomaœe Gospodin svojemu miljeniku! Gospodin usliæa moj vapaj k njemu. 4 Dræøite i prestanite grijeæna djelovanja! Razmiæljajte na svojoj postelji i mirujte! Selah. 5 Prinosite prave œrtve zaklanice! Pouzdajte se samo u Gospodina! 6 Mnogi se tuœe: “Tko nam nosi mir?” Obasjaj nas, Gospodine, svjetlom svojega lica! 7 Viæe radosti stavio si mi u srce, nego kad u doba œetve rodi œito i vino u izobilju. 8 Bez brige legnem i zaspim odmah, jer ti, Gospodine, sam mi dajeæ te stojim u sigurnosti.

Ne dopusti da uspiju njihovi naumi; za mnoge njihove grijehe odbaci ih, jer oni se tebi suprotstavljaju. 11 A koji se uzdaju u tebe, radovat øe se svi, uvijek øe ti klicati, jer ih zaætiøujeæ, koji tebe

Gospodine, nemoj me pokarati u svojoj srdœbi, niti me kazniti u svojem gnjevu! 2 Smiluj mi se, Gospodine, jer sam iznemogao, ozdravi me, Gospodine, jer dræøu moje kosti. 3 Duæa je moja vrlo uzdrhtala, a ti, Gospodine, dokle øeæ se joæ srditi? 4 Vrati se, Gospodine, spasi moj œivot!

O LORD my God, in you I put my trust; save me from all those who persecute me; and deliver me, 2 Lest they tear me like a lion, rending me in pieces, while there is none to deliver. 3 O LORD my God, if I have done this: If there is iniquity in my hands, 4 If I have repaid evil to him who was at peace with me, or have plundered my enemy without cause, 5 Let the enemy pursue me and overtake me; yes, let him trample my life to the earth, and lay my honor in the dust. Selah 6 Arise, O LORD, in your anger; lift yourself up because of the rage of my enemies, and awake for me to the judgment you have commanded! 7 So the congregation of the peoples shall surround you; for their sakes, therefore, return on high. 8 The LORD shall judge the peoples; judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to my integrity within me. 9 Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish the just; for the righteous God tests the hearts and minds. 10 My defense is of God, who saves the upright in heart. 11 God is a just judge, and God is angry with the wicked every day. 12 If he does not turn back, he will sharpen his sword; he bends his bow and makes it ready. 13 He also prepares for himself instruments of death; he makes his arrows into fiery shafts. 14 Behold, the wicked travails with iniquity, conceives trouble and brings forth falsehood. 15 He made a pit and dug it out, and has fallen into the ditch which he made. 16 His trouble shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down on his own crown. 17 I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness, and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High. O LORD, our LORD, how excellent is your name in all the earth, you who set your glory above

Molitva za milosråe. Psalam Davidov

O LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger, nor chasten me in your hot displeasure. 2 Have mercy on me, O LORD, for I am weak; O LORD, heal me, for my bones are troubled. 3 My soul also is greatly troubled; but you, O LORD– how long? 4 Return, O LORD, deliver me! Oh, save me for your mercies’ sake! 5 For in death there is no remembrance of you; in the grave who will give you thanks? 6 I am weary with my groaning; all night I make my bed swim; I drench my couch with my tears. 7 My eye wastes away because of grief; it grows old because of all my enemies. 8 Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity; for the LORD has heard the voice of my weeping. 9 The LORD has heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer. 10 Let all my enemies be ashamed and greatly troubled; let them turn back and be ashamed suddenly.

Molitva Bogu. Tuœaljka Davidova

Gospodine, moj Boœe, k tebi se utjeçem, saçuvaj me od svih koji me progone i izbavi me, 2 da me ne rastrgaju kao lav, da me ne odvuku kad nema spasitelja. 3 Gospodine, moj Boœe, ako sam to uçinio: ako su zlodjela u rukama mojim, 4 ako sam zlo vratio svojem prijatelju, ipak sam pomogao onomu koji me je napao bez razloga. 5 Onda neka goni neprijatelj moju duæu i neka je stigne, i neka pogazi na zemlju moj œivot i çast moju odvuçe u praæinu. 6 Ustani, Gospodine, u svojem gnjevu, digni se na œestinu mojih tlaçitelja! Izaåi mi na obranu, jer ti hoøeæ pravo. 7 Skupit øe se narod oko tebe, uzaåi ponovno na prijestolje iznad njih! 8 Gospodin je sudac narodima; sudi mi, Gospodine, po pravednosti svojoj, neka mi bude po neduœnosti mojoj! 9 Neka se dokrajçi zloøa bezboœnika, a pravednika potpomozi, jer ispitujeæ srca i bubrege, pravedni Boœe! 10 Moj ætit stoji kod Boga koji pomaœe one koji su prava srca. 11 Bog je pravedan sudac, Bog koji uvijek prijeti zlima. 12 Zaista, on veø brusi i oætri svoj maç, nateœe i naperuje lßk, 13 Zapinje smrtnu strijelu, çini strijele usijanima. 14 Gle, zloøom poçinje on, obilazi s nesreøom i raåa samo prijevaru. 15 Jamu kopa i iskopa, i sam pada u jamu koju napravi. 16 Nepravda se njegova vraøa na vlastitu njegovu glavu, na vlastito tjeme silazi zloçin njegov. 17 A ja zahvaljujem Gospodinu za njegovu pravednu presudu; i pjevat øu Imenu Gospodina Sveviænjega.

And you have destroyed cities; even their memory has perished. 7 But the LORD shall endure forever; he has prepared his throne for judgment. 8 He shall judge the world in righteousness, and he shall administer judgment for the peoples in uprightness. 9 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. 10 And those who know your name will put their trust in you; for you, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you. 11 Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion! Declare his deeds among the people. 12 When he avenges blood, he remembers them; he does not forget the cry of the humble. 13 Have mercy on me, O LORD!

I will rejoice in your salvation. 15 The nations have sunk down in the pit which they made; in the net which they hid, their own foot is caught. 16 The LORD is known by the judgment he executes; the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands.

Iz svega srca zahvaljivat øu ti, Gospodine! Objavljivat øu sva tvoja çudesa. 2 Radovat øu se i veseliti u tebi, pjevat øu tvojem Imenu, o Sveviænji! 3 Jer su se moji neprijatelji vratili natrag, pali su i po tebi se upropastili. 4 Ti si vodio moju stvar, pravo moje, sjedio si na prijestolju kao sudac pravedan. 5 Narodima si zaprijetio, bezboœnike uniætio, imena si im zauvijek i vjeçno iskorijenio. 6 Neprijatelj je uniæten, raspræen zauvijek; gradovi su razoreni, pogibe spomen njihov. 7 Gospodin øe vjeçno stolovati kao sudac; za sud je namjestio prijestolje svoje. 8 On øe pravedno suditi svijetu; kako je pravo, izreøi øe osudu narodima. 9 Tako øe Gospodin biti utoçiæte potlaçenima, utoçiæte u vremena nevolje. 10 Neka se uzdaju u tebe, oni koji znaju tvoje Ime, jer ti, Gospodine, ne ostavljaæ one koji tebe traœe. 11 Pjevajte hvalu Gospodinu koji stoluje na Sionu, navjeæøujte narodima njegova djela! 12 Kao osvetnik krvnoga djela zauzeo se on za siromahe, nije çuo jauka njihova. 13 Budi mi milostiv, Gospodine: pogledaj kako trpim, izbavi me od mojih neprijatelja, od vrata smrti! 14 Onda øu navjeæøivati sva tvoja djela, veseliti se tvojoj pomoøi na vratima Siona. 15 Popadali su narodi u jame koje su sami iskopali; u zamku æto je sami namjestili uhvati se noga njihova. 16 Gospodin se objavio, odrœao sud; u djelo svojih ruku zapleo se bezboœnik. 17 U carstvo mrtvih neka idu bezboœnici, svi narodi koji zaboravljaju Boga! 18 Jer neøe zauvijek biti zaboravljen siromah, nada nevoljnicima neøe se vjeçno varati. 19 Digni se, Gospodine, neka ti çovjek ne prkosi; neka narodi potpadnu sudu pred tobom! 20 Gospodine, utjeraj strah u njih, neka osjete narodi da su samo ljudi!

The wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow on the string, that they may shoot secretly at the upright in heart. 3 If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do? 4 The LORD is in his holy temple, the Lord’s throne is in heaven; his eyes behold, his eyelids test the sons of men. 5 The LORD tests the righteous, but the wicked and the one who loves violence his soul hates. 6 Upon the wicked he will rain coals, fire and brimstone and a burning wind; this shall be the portion of their cup. 7 For the LORD is righteous, he loves righteousness; his countenance beholds the upright.

How long, O LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from

me? 2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? How long will my enemy be exalted over me? 3 Consider and hear me, O LORD my God; enlighten my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death; 4 Lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed against him”; lest those who trouble me rejoice when I am moved. 5 But I have trusted in your mercy; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation. 6 I will sing to the LORD, because he has dealt bountifully with me.

14

The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none who does good. 2 The LORD looks down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there are any who understand, who seek God. 3 They have all turned aside, they have together become corrupt; there is none who does good, no, not one. 4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and do not call on the LORD? 5 There they are in great fear, for God is with the generation of the righteous. 6 You shame the counsel of the poor, but the LORD is his refuge. 7 Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When the LORD brings back the captivity of his people, let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad.

15

LORD, who may abide in your tabernacle? who may dwell in your holy hill? 2 He who walks uprightly, and works righteousness, and speaks the truth in his heart; 3 He who does not backbite with his tongue, nor does evil to his neighbor, nor does he take up a reproach against his friend; 4 In whose eyes a vile person is despised, but he honors those who fear the LORD; he who swears to his own hurt and does not change; 5 He who does not put out his money at usury, nor does he take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be moved.

Preserve me, O God, for in you I put my trust. 2 O my soul, you have said to the LORD, You are my LORD, my goodness is nothing apart from you”– 3 And to the saints who are on the earth, “They are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight.” 4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied who hasten after another god; their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take up their names on my lips. 5 You, O LORD, are the portion of my inheritance and my cup; you maintain my lot. 6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; yes, I have a good inheritance. 7 I will bless the LORD who has given me counsel; my

Hear a just cause, O LORD, attend to my cry; Give ear to my prayer that is not from deceitful lips. 2 Let my vindication come from your presence; let your eyes look on the things that are upright. 3 You have tested my heart; you have visited me in the night; you have tried me and have found nothing; I have purposed that my mouth shall not transgress. 4 Concerning the works of men, by the word of your lips, I have kept myself from the paths of the destroyer. 5 Uphold my steps in your paths, that my footsteps may not slip. 6 I have called upon you, for you will hear me, O God; incline your ear to me, and hear my speech. 7 Show your marvelous lovingkindness by your right hand, o you who save those who trust in you From those who rise up against them. 8 Keep me as the apple of your eye; Hide me under the shadow of your wings, 9 From the wicked who oppress me, from my deadly enemies who surround me. 10 They have closed up their fat hearts; with their mouths they speak proudly. 11 They have now surrounded us in our steps; they have set their eyes, crouching down to the earth, 12 Like a lion that is eager to tear his prey, and as a young lion lurking in secret places. 13 Arise, O LORD, confront him, cast him down; deliver my life from the wicked with your sword, 14 With your hand from men, O LORD, from men of the world who have their portion in this life, and whose belly you fill with your hidden treasure.

Gospodine, çuj stvar pravednu, pripazi na moj vapaj, posluæaj moju molitvu koja ne ide iz laœljivih usta. 2 Od tebe neka se izreçe sud moj: tvoje oçi gledaju æto je pravo! 3 Ispitaæ li moje srce, pretraœiæ li ga noøu, staviæ li me na kuænju, neøeæ naiøi ni na æto opako. 4 Moja usta nikad nisu sagrijeæila, u toj ljudskoj œurbi saçuvao sam rijeç tvojih usta. 5 Pravu stazu nije ostavio moj hod; na tvojim putovima ne spotaknu se moj korak. 6 Tebe prizivljem, jer me ti usliæaæ, o Boœe, prigni mi svoje uho, çuj moju rijeç. 7 Uçini çudo puno dobrote svojom desnicom, ti Spasitelju onih koji se utjeçu k tebi od buntovnika protiv prava tvojih. 8 Kao zjenicu oka çuvaj me! Sakrij me u sjenu krila svojih, 9 od bezboœnika koji me tvrdo pritiæçu, od mojih neprijatelja koji me poœudno opkoljavaju. 10 Oni su zatvorili svoje srce beæøutno, govore drsko hvalisavim ustima. 11 Korak za korakom prisluækuju nas; oætro vrebaju oçi njihove da nas sruæe, 12 kao lav œeljan plijena, kao laviø koji se zgurio u potaji. 13 Digni se, Gospodine, suprotstavi mu se, sruæi ga, spasi svojim maçem moj œivot od bezboœnika, 14 svojom rukom, Gospodine, od ljudi, od ljudi ovoga svijeta, kojima je dio ovaj œivot, tijelo je njihovo napunjeno dobrom tvojim; sinovi su njihovi siti, preostatak ostavljaju svojoj djeci. 15 A ja øu u pravednosti gledati tvoje lice; kad se probudim sit øu ga se nagledati.

I will love you, O LORD, my strength. 2 The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. 3 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; so shall I be saved from my enemies. 4 The pangs of death encompassed me, and the floods of ungodliness made me afraid. 5 The sorrows of Sheol surrounded me; the snares of death confronted me. 6 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried out to my God; he heard my voice from his temple, and my cry came before him, even to his ears. 7 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of the hills also quaked and were shaken, because he was angry. 8 Smoke went up from his nostrils, and devouring fire from his mouth; coals were kindled by it. 9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down With darkness under his feet.

Davidova zahvalna i pobjedna pjesma

Ljubim te, Gospodine, jakosti moja. 2 Gospodin je moja hridina, moja tvråava i moj Spasitelj; moj Bog, moja snaga, u koju se uzdajem; moj ætit, rog mojega spasenja, moja utvrda!” 3 Zazvat øu Gospodina koji zasluœuje hvalu; tako øu biti osloboåen od svojih neprijatelja. 4 Bili su na mene pobjesnili valovi smrti, rijeke zla drœale me u tjeskobi, 5 okovi pakla pritisli me, pale na mene zamke smrti. 6 U nevolji svojoj povikao sam Gospodinu, zavapio sam svojem Bogu; on je razabrao iz svojega æatora moj glas, do njegovih uæiju doæao je moj vapaj. 7 Onda se uznemirila zemlja i zadrhtala, temelji se gora uzdrmali i pomakli; tako je On bio pun gnjeva. 8 Iz nosa je njegova sukljao dim, iz usta je njegovih buktio oganj æto proœdire, ugljevlje œivo plamsalo od njega.

Veliçina i ljepota Boœja. Psalam Davidov

The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows his handiwork. 2 Day unto day utters speech, and night unto night reveals knowledge. 3 There is no speech nor language Where their voice is not heard. 4 Their line has gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tabernacle for the sun, 5 Which is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoices like a strong man to run its race. 6 Its rising is from one end of heaven, and its circuit to the other end; and there is nothing hidden from its heat. 7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple; 8 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes; 9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever; the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. 10 More to be desired are they than gold, Yea, than much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. 11 Moreover by them your servant is warned, and in keeping them there is great reward. 12 Who can understand his errors? Cleanse me from secret faults. 13 Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me. Then I shall be blameless, and I shall be innocent of great transgression. 14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O LORD, my strength and my redeemer.

ski: 2 Dan na dan æapøe on tu vijest, noø na noø donosi on taj glas. 3 To nisu govori, nisu rijeçi kojima se glas ne razabira. 4 U sav svijet prodire njihov povik, njihova rijeç do na kraj zemlje. Suncu je stvorio æator na nebu. 5 Ono izlazi kao zaruçnik iz svoje loœnice; veseli se kao junak kad dobije utrku. 6 Na jednom kraju neba izlazi, i okreøe se sve do drugog kraja, niæta se ne moœe sakriti njegovu œaru. 7 Zakon je Gospodinov savræen, obraøa duæu; svjedoçanstvo je Gospodinovo pouzdano, çini bezumnike mudracima. 8 Zakon je Gospodinov savræen, veseli srce; zapovijedi su Gospodinove çiste, prosvjetljuju oçi. 9 Rijeçi su Gospodinove svete, ostaju zauvijek, presude su Gospodinove istinite, pravedne svekolike. 10 Poœeljnije su od zlata, od çistog zlata; slaåe su od meda æto teçe iz saøa. 11 I tvoj se sluga dao prosvijetliti od njih; tko ih drœi, ima veliku plaøu. 12 A pogreæke–tko øe ih znati? Oçisti me od tajnih pogreæaka! 13 I od strasti saçuvaj svojega slugu, ne daj da vladaju nada mnom; onda øu biti çist, slobodan od teæke krivnje. 14 O, da bi ti se rijeçi mojih usta svidjele, misli mojega srca, Gospodine, moje utoçiæte i moj Spasitelju!

The king shall have joy in your strength, O LORD; and in your salvation how greatly shall he rejoice! 2 You have given him his heart’s desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah 3 For you meet him with the blessings of goodness; you set a crown of pure gold upon his head. 4 He asked life from you, and you gave it to him– Length of days forever and ever. 5 His glory is great in your salvation; Honor and majesty you have placed upon him. 6 For you have made him most blessed forever; you have made him exceedingly glad with your presence. 7 For the king trusts in the LORD, and through the mercy of the Most High he shall not be moved. 8 Your hand will find all your enemies; your right hand will find those who hate you. 9 You shall make them as a fiery oven in the time of your anger; the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them. 10 Their offspring you shall destroy from the earth, and their descendants from among the sons of men. 11 For they intended evil against you; they devised a plot which they are not able to perform. 12 Therefore you will make them turn their back; you will make ready your arrows on your string toward their faces. 13 Be exalted, O LORD, in your own strength! We will sing and praise your power.

My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning? 2 O my God, I cry in the daytime, but you do not hear; and in the night season, and am not silent. 3 But you are holy, who inhabit the praises of Israel. 4 Our fathers trusted in you; they trusted, and you delivered them. 5 They cried to you, and were delivered; they trusted in you, and were not ashamed. 6 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people. 7 All those who see me laugh me to scorn; they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying, 8 “He trusted in the LORD, let him rescue him; let him deliver him, since he delights in him!” 9 But you are he who took me out of the womb; you made me trust when I was on my mother’s breasts. 10 I was cast upon you from birth. From my mother’s womb you have been my God. 11 Be not far from me, for trouble is near; for there is none to help. 12 Many bulls have surrounded me; strong bulls of Bashan have encircled me. 13 They gape at me with their mouths, as a raging and roaring lion. 14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint; my heart is like wax; it has melted within me. 15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my

Ulazak Zavjetne ækrinje na Sion. Psalam Davidov

The earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness, The world and those who dwell therein. 2 For he has founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the waters. 3 Who may ascend into the hill of the LORD? Or who may stand in his holy place? 4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, nor sworn deceitfully. 5 He shall receive blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. 6 This is Jacob, the generation of those who seek him, who seek your face.

Dobri pastir. Psalam Davidov

Gospodin je pastir moj; neøe mi niæto nedostajati. 2 On me pusti leœati na zelenim paænjacima; On me vodi uz tihane vode. 3 On krijepi moju duæu, On me vodi stazama pravednosti zbog svojega Imena. 4 Da, pa kad bih i dolinom sjene smrti hodio, zla se ne bojim, jer ti si sa mnom; tvoj ætap i tvoja palica meni su utjeha. 5 Ti pripremaæ stol preda mnom, na oçigled mojih neprijatelja; uljem mi glavu maœeæ, çaæa se moja prelijeva. 6 Zaista, dobrota i milost pratit øe me kroz sve dane mojega œivota; i ja øu prebivati u Gospodinovu domu zauvijek.

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside the still waters. 3 He restores my soul; he leads me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the LORD Forever.

To you, O LORD, I lift up my soul. 2 O my God, I trust in you; let me not be ashamed; let not my enemies triumph over me. 3 Indeed, let no one who waits on you be ashamed; let those be ashamed who deal treacherously without cause. 4 Show me your ways, O LORD; teach me your paths. 5 Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; on you I wait all the day. 6 Remember, O LORD, your tender mercies and your lovingkindnesses, for they have been from of old. 7 Do not remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions; according to your mercy remember me, for your goodness’ sake, O LORD. 8 Good and upright is the LORD; therefore he teaches sinners in the way. 9 The humble he guides in justice, and the humble he teaches his way. 10 All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth, to such as keep his covenant and his testimonies. 11 For your name’s sake, O LORD, pardon my iniquity, for it is great. 12 Who is the man that fears the LORD? him shall he teach in the way he chooses. 13 He himself shall dwell in prosperity, and his descendants shall inherit the earth. 14 The secret of the LORD is with those who fear him, and he will show them his covenant. 15 My eyes are ever toward the LORD, for he shall pluck my feet out of the net. 16 Turn yourself to me, and have mercy on me, for I am desolate and afflicted. 17 The troubles of my heart have enlarged; oh, bring me out of my distresses! 18 Look on my affliction and my pain, and forgive all my sins. 19 Consider my enemies, for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred. 20 Oh, keep my soul, and deliver me; let me not be ashamed, for I put my trust in you. 21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for you. 22 Redeem Israel, O God, out of all their troubles!

26

Vindicate me, O LORD, for I have walked in my integrity. I have also trusted in the LORD; I shall not slip. 2 Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my mind and my heart. 3 For your lovingkindness is before my eyes, and I have walked in your truth. 4 I have not sat with idolatrous mortals, nor will I go in with hypocrites. 5 I have hated the congregation of evildoers, and will not sit with the wicked. 6 I will wash my hands in innocence; so I will go about your altar, O LORD,

Tebi, Gospodine, podiœem duæu svoju! 2 O moj Boœe, u tebe se uzdajem! Ne daj da se postidim, da kliçu nada mnom moji neprijatelji! 3 Jest, neka se nitko ne osramoti koji se u tebe uzdaje; osramotit øe se samo oni koji te ostave nevjerno. 4 Gospodine, pokaœi mi svoje putove i uçi me stazama svojim. 5 Vodi me svojom istinom i pouçi me, jer si ti Bog mojega spasenja, tebe uvijek çekam. 6 Gospodine, spomeni se svojega milosråa, svoje dobrote, jer one su oduvijek. 7 Grijeha moje mladosti, mojih opaçina ne spominji se! Po svojoj milosti spomeni se mene zbog svoje dobrote, Gospodine! 8 Dobrostiv je Gospodin i pravedan, zato pokazuje put grjeænicima. 9 Ponizne vodi pravom stazom, On uçi ponizne svojim putovima. 10 Svi su putovi Gospodinovi samo dobrota i vjernost onomu koji mu drœi zavjet i zapovijedi. 11 Zbog svojega Imena, Gospodine, oprosti krivnju mojih zlodjela, jer je tako velika! 12 Gdje samo çovjek hodi u strahu Boœjemu: On mu pokaœe put koji øe izabrati. 13 Njegova duæa u sreøi prebiva; potomstvo øe njegovo posjedovati zemlju. 14 Koji ga se boje, to su pouzdanici Gospodinovi; On im je dao svoj zavjet da im donese razboritost. 15 Oçi su moje uvijek upravljene Gospodinu, jer On vadi iz zamke moju nogu. 16 Okreni se k meni i budi mi milostiv, jer sam osamljen i jadan. 17 Velike su postale nevolje mojega srca; izbavi me iz tjeskoba mojih. 18 Vidi jad moj i bol moj, i oprosti sve grijehe moje. 19 Pogledaj moje neprijatelje, kako ih je mnogo, i kako me mrze pakosnom mrœnjom. 20 Saçuvaj moj œivot! Izbavi me, ne daj da se ikad osramotim, jer se uzdajem u tebe. 21 Neduœnost i çestitost neka su mi zaætita, jer se uzdajem u tebe. 22 O Boœe, izbavi Izraela od svih njegovih nevolja! • Molitva neduœno progonjena.

Opravdaj me, Gospodine, jer sam hodio u çestitosti; uzdajem se u Gospodina i neøu se spotaknuti. 2 Ispitaj me, Gospodine, i iskuæaj me, istraœi mi pamet i srce! 3 Jer mi je dobrota tvoja stajala pred oçima; hodio sam svojim putom vjerno prema tebi. 4 Nikada nisam sjedio s laœljivim ljudima, nikad se nisam vratio k onima koji podlo rade. 5 Mrska mi je skupætina opakih; nikad nisam sjeo sa zlikovcima. 6 Perem svoje ruke u neduœnosti, idem oko tvo-

The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? 2 When the wicked came against me to eat up my flesh, my enemies and foes, they stumbled and fell. 3 Though an army should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war should rise against me, in this I will be confident. 4 One thing I have desired of the LORD, that will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in his temple. 5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion; in the secret place of his tabernacle he shall hide me; he shall set me high upon a rock. 6 And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me; therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in his tabernacle; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD. 7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice! Have mercy also upon me, and answer me. 8 When you said, “Seek my face,” my heart said to you, “Your face, LORD, I will seek.” 9 Do not hide your face from me; do not turn your servant away in anger; you have been my help; do not leave me nor forsake me, O God of my salvation. 10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take care of me. 11 Teach me your way, O LORD, and lead me in a smooth path, because of my enemies. 12 Do not deliver me to the will of my adversaries; for false witnesses have risen against me, and such as breathe out violence. 13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living. 14 Wait on the LORD; be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart; wait, I say, on the LORD!

28

To you I will cry, O LORD my Rock: Do not be silent to me, lest, if you are silent to me, I become like those who go down to the pit. 2 Hear the voice of my supplications When I cry to you, when I lift up my hands toward your holy sanctuary. 3 Do not take me away with the wicked and with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace to their neighbors, but evil is in their hearts. 4 Give to them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavors; give to them according to the work of their hands; render to them what they deserve. 5 Because they do not regard the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them and not build them up. 6 Blessed be the LORD, because he has heard the

Gospodin je moja svjetlost i moje spasenje: koga da se bojim? Gospodin je zaætitnik mojega œivota: od koga da se bojim? 2 Ako mi se pribliœe zlikovci da me uniæte– tlaçitelji i moji neprijatelji: oni øe se spotaknuti i pasti. 3 Neka se skupi tabor protiv mene, moje srce ne zna za strah; neka plane boj protiv mene, ja ostajem utjeæen. 4 Za jedno samo molim Gospodina, samo to prosim: da prebivam u Gospodinovu domu sve dane svojega œivota, da iskusim dobrotu Gospodinovu, da gledam njegov dom. 5 Jer u dan nevolje krije me Bog u svojem potkrovlju, zaklanja me u skroviætu svojega æatora, diœe me visoko gore na hrid. 6 Zato øe se moja glava uzdiøi usprkos mojim neprijateljima oko mene; prinosit øu u njegovu æatoru œrtve pune radosti; pjevat øu, da, pjevat øu hvalospjeve Gospodinu. 7 Gospodine, çuj, glasno viçem: smiluj mi se i usliæaj me. 8 Moje srce viçe k tebi; traœim te; Gospodine, traœim tvoje lice!. 9 Ne skrivaj svojega lica od mene; ne odbacuj u gnjevu svojega slugu, jer ti si pomoønik moj: ne odbijaj me, ne ostavljaj me, o Boœe mojega spasenja. 10 Kad bi me odbacili otac i majka, primio bi me Gospodin. 11 Pokaœi mi svoj put, Gospodine, vodi me ravnom stazom, usprkos mojim neprijateljima. 12 Nemoj me predati bijesu mojih tlaçitelja: jer svjedoci laœni ustaju protiv mene; hoøe im se zloçina. 13 Tvrdo vjerujem da øu gledati dobrotu Gospodinovu u zemlji œivih. 14 Çekaj na Gospodina, budi hrabar i on øe ti ojaçati srce; çekaj, kaœem, na Gospodina!

Po djelima njihovih ruku podaj im, plati im po zasluzi. 5 Jer ne paze na djela Gospodinova, na djelo njegovih ruku, zato øe ih sruæiti i nikada ih viæe neøe podiøi. 6 Neka je blagoslovljen Gospodin, jer on je çuo

Give unto the LORD, o you mighty ones, give unto the LORD glory and strength. 2 Give unto the LORD the glory due to his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. 3 The voice of the LORD is over the waters; the God of glory thunders; the LORD is over many waters. 4 The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty. 5 The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars, Yes, the LORD splinters the cedars of Lebanon. 6 He makes them also skip like a calf, Lebanon and Sirion like a young wild ox. 7 The voice of the LORD divides the flames of fire. 8 The voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness; the LORD shakes the Wilderness of Kadesh. 9 The voice of the LORD makes the deer give birth, and strips the forests bare; and in his temple everyone says, “Glory!” 10 The LORD sat enthroned at the Flood, and the LORD sits as King forever. 11 The LORD will give strength to his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace.

I will extol you, O LORD, for you have lifted me up, and have not let my foes rejoice over

me. 2 O LORD my God, I cried out to you, and you have healed me. 3 O LORD, you have brought my soul up from the grave; you have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. 4 Sing praise to the LORD, you saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holy name. 5 For his anger is but for a moment, his favor is for life; weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. 6 Now in my prosperity I said, “I shall never be moved.” 7 LORD, by your favor you have made my mountain stand strong; you hid your face, and I was troubled. 8 I cried out to you, O LORD; and to the LORD I made supplication: 9 What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it declare your truth? 10 Hear, O LORD, and have mercy on me; LORD, be my helper!” 11 You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; you have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness, 12 To the end that my glory may sing praise to you and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to you forever.

Pjesma kod posveøenja doma

Slavit øu te, Gospodine, jer si me podigao; nisi dao mojim neprijateljima da kliçu nada mnom! 2 Gospodine, moj Boœe, k tebi sam povikao, onda si me ozdravio; 3 Gospodine, iz carstva mrtvih izveo si moju duæu, opet si me œivotu darovao izmeåu onih koji su siæli u carstvo mrtvih. 4 Pjevajte hvalu Gospodinu, njegovi poboœni, pjevajte zahvalu svetomu imenu njegovu! 5 Jer samo za tren oka traje njegova srdœba, a njegova milost do œivota; veçerom dolazi plaç, a jutrom veø vlada radost. 6 Pomislio sam u mirnoj sreøi svojoj: “Nikada se neøu poljuljati!” 7 Ti si me bio, Gospodine, pun milosti utvrdio u sreøi. Onda si sakrio svoje lice: i veø sam se ja smeo. 8 Onda povikao sam k tebi, Gospodine, onda sam zavapio k svojem Bogu: 9 “Æto koristi krv moja kad siåem u podzemni svijet? Slavi li te prah, ili navjeæøuje li on tvoju vjernost? 10 Gospodine, çuj i smiluj se meni, Gospodine, budi mi pomoønik!” 11 Onda si okrenuo plaç u moju radost, skinuo kostrijet s mene i opasao me veseljem. 12 Neka ti pjeva moja duæa i nikada viæe ne umukne. Gospodine, moj Boœe, vjeçno øu ti zahvaljivati!

Plead my cause, O LORD, with those who strive with me; fight against those who fight against me. 2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for my help. 3 Also draw out the spear, and stop those who pursue me. Say to my soul, “I am your salvation.” 4 Let those be put to shame and brought to dishonor who seek after my life; let those be turned back and brought to confusion who plot my hurt. 5 Let them be like chaff before the wind, and let the angel of the LORD chase them. 6 Let their way be dark and slippery, and let the angel of the LORD pursue them. 7 For without cause they have hidden their net for me in a pit, which they have dug without cause for my life. 8 Let destruction come upon him unexpectedly, and let his net that he has hidden catch himself; into that very destruction let him fall. 9 And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD; it shall rejoice in his salvation. 10 All my bones shall say, “LORD, who is like you, delivering the poor from him who is too strong for him, Yes, the poor and the needy from him who plunders him?” 11 Fierce witnesses rise up; they ask me things that I do not know. 12 They reward me evil for good, to the sorrow of my soul. 13 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth; I humbled myself with fasting; and my prayer would return to my own heart. 14 I paced about as though he were my friend or brother; I bowed down heavily, as one who mourns for his mother. 15 But in my adversity they rejoiced And gathered together; attackers gathered against me, and I did not

Gospodine, bori se protiv onih koji se bore protiv mene, i udari na one koji udaraju na mene! 2 Prihvati oruœje i ætit, i digni se da mi pomogneæ! 3 Zavitlaj koplje i zaustavi moje progonitelje.

An oracle within my heart concerning the transgression of the wicked: There is no fear of God before his eyes. 2 For he flatters himself in his own eyes, when he finds out his iniquity and when he hates. 3 The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit; he has ceased to be wise and to do good. 4 He devises wickedness on his bed; he sets himself in a way that is not good; he does not abhor evil. 5 Your mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens, and your faithfulness reaches to the clouds. 6 Your righteousness is like the great mountains; your judgments are a great deep; O LORD, you preserve man and beast. 7 How precious is your lovingkindness, O God! Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of your wings. 8 They are abundantly satisfied with the fullness of your house, and you give them drink from the river of your pleasures. 9 For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light. 10 Oh, continue your lovingkindness to those who know you, and your righteousness to the upright in heart. 11 Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked drive me away. 12 There the workers of iniquity have fallen; they have been cast down and are not able to rise.

37

Do not fret because of evildoers, nor be envious of the workers of iniquity. 2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. 3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed on his faithfulness. 4 Delight yourself also in the LORD, and he shall give

O LORD, do not rebuke me in your wrath, nor chasten me in your hot displeasure! 2 For your arrows pierce me deeply, and your hand presses me down. 3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of your anger, nor is there any health in my bones because of my sin. 4 For my iniquities have gone over my head; like a heavy burden they are too heavy for me. 5 My wounds are foul and festering because of my foolishness. 6 I am troubled, I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long. 7 For my loins are full of inflammation, and there is no soundness in my flesh. 8 I am feeble and severely broken; I groan because of the turmoil of my heart. 9 LORD, all my desire is before you; and my sighing is not hidden from you. 10 My heart pants, my strength fails me; as for the light of my eyes, it also has gone from me. 11 My loved ones and my friends stand aloof from my plague, and my kinsmen stand afar off. 12 Those also who seek my life lay snares for me; those who seek my hurt speak of destruction, and plan deception all the day long. 13 But I, like a deaf man, do not hear; and I am like a mute who does not open his mouth. 14 Thus I am like a man who does not hear, and in whose mouth is no response. 15 For in you, O LORD, I hope; you will hear, O LORD my God. 16 For I said, “Hear me, lest they rejoice over me, lest, when my foot slips, they magnify themselves against me.” 17 For I am ready to fall, and my sorrow is continually before me. 18 For I will declare my iniquity; I will be in anguish over my sin. 19 But my enemies are vigorous, and they are strong; and those who hate me wrongfully have multiplied. 20 Those also who render evil for good, they are my adversaries, because I follow what is good. 21 Do not forsake me, O LORD; O my God, be not far from me! 22 Make haste to help me, O LORD, my salvation!

I said, “I will guard my ways, lest I sin with my tongue; I will restrain my mouth with a muzzle, while the wicked are before me.” 2 I was mute with silence, I held my peace even from good; and my sorrow was stirred up. 3 My heart was hot within me; while I was musing, the fire burned. Then I spoke with my tongue: 4 LORD, make me to know my end, and what is the measure of my days, that I may know how frail I am. 5 Indeed, you have made my days as handbreadths, and my age is as nothing before you; certainly every man at his best state is but vapor.

Gospodine, nemoj me karati u svojem gnjevu, niti kazniti u jarosti svojoj! 2 Jer tvoje se strijele zabadaju u mene, i ruka je tvoja na meni oteœala. 3 Niæta nema zdrava na mojem tijelu od tvojega gnjeva, nema mira u kostima mojim od mojih grijeha. 4 Jer krivnja moja izaæla je na vrh moje glave, kao teæko breme pritiæçe me. 5 Gnjiju i trunu moje rane od mojega bezumlja. 6 Zgrçio sam se i posve se pogurio, uvijek idem œalostan. 7 Bokovi su moji puni upale i nema zdrava mjesta na mojem tijelu. 8 Nemoøan sam i posve slomljen, viçem od unutraænje muke. 9 Gospodine, znaæ sve moje œelje, moje uzdisanje nije od tebe skriveno. 10 Srce mi jako udara, ostavlja me moja snaga, ni oçinjega vida u mene viæe nema. 11 Moji mili i prijatelji bjeœe od muke moje, i roåaci se moji drœe daleko. 12 Koji mi rade o glavi, namjeætaju mi zamke; koji traœe moju nesreøu, snuju propast, uvijek misle o prijevari. 13 A ja sam kao gluh i ne çujem, kao nijem ne otvaram svoja usta. 14 Ja sam kao jedan koji niæta ne çuje, u çijim ustima nema protivljenja. 15 Jer se uzdajem u tebe, Gospodine; Svemoøni Boœe, ti mi moraæ odgovoriti! • Jer. 14:8 16 Jer se bojim da bi se htjeli radovati nada mnom, uznositi se nada mnom, samo ako se spotakne moja noga. 17 Jer sam veø blizu propasti i uvijek je bol moja preda mnom. 18 Jer svoju krivnju moram priznati; zbog svojega grijeha pun sam œalosti. 19 A koji se bez razloga okreøu na mene, jaki su i brojni koji me mrze bez povoda. 20 Koji mi vraøaju zlo za dobro, udaraju na mene, gdje sam htio samo dobro. 21 Ne ostavljaj me, Gospodine, moj Boœe, ne udaljuj se od mene! 22 Brzo mi pomogni, Gospodine, moje spasenje! Molitva za mudrost. Psalam Davidov

Rekao sam: “Çuvat øu svoje putove od grijeha jezika, zauzdavat øu svoja usta dok je joæ blizu zlikovac!” 2 I tako postao sam nijem, posve tih, æutio sam bez utjehe, a u meni rovala bol. 3 U meni je srce gorjelo; na samu pomisao buknuo bi oganj; onda sam govorio svojim jezikom: 4 Daj mi, Gospodine, znati moj kraj i mjeru mojih dana, da mogu upoznati kako sam vrlo prolazan! 5 Eto, pedljem si izmjerio moj œivot, moje je vri-

-652Psalms Psalmi 6 Surely every man walks about like a shadow; surely jeme pred tobom kao niæta; çovjek je samo they busy themselves in vain; he heaps up riches, dah, makar kako stoji çvrsto. 6 Kao sjena prolazi çovjek, ni za æto je njegova and does not know who will gather them. 7 And now, LORD, what do I wait for? My hope is in muka, skuplja, a ipak ne zna komu øe dopasti. 7 A sada, Gospodine, æto da çekam? Samo si ti you. 8 Deliver me from all my transgressions; do not make uzdanje moje! 8 Od svih mojih grijeha izbavi me; ne daj me za me the reproach of the foolish. 9 I was mute, I did not open my mouth, because it was ruglo bezumnima! 9 Sad sam tih, ne otvaram svojih usta, jer si ti to you who did it. 10 Remove your plague from me; I am consumed by uçinio. 10 Odvrati od mene biç svoj, inaçe moram the blow of your hand. 11 When with rebukes you correct man for iniquity, podleøi sili tvoje ruke! you make his beauty melt away like a moth; surely 11 Ti karaæ çovjeka kaznama za zlodjela; ti pustiæ da proåe njegov œivot kao moljçev; ah, every man is vapor. Selah 12 Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear to my cry; samo je dah svaki çovjek! do not be silent at my tears; for I am a stranger with 12 Çuj, Gospodine, moju molitvu, çuj moj vapaj, ne zatvaraj se mojim suzama, jer sam ja you, a sojourner, as all my fathers were. 13 Remove your gaze from me, that I may regain doæljak kod tebe, kao svi moji oçevi, putnik. 13 Prestani me karati da odahnem, prije nego strength, before I go away and am no more.” odem i viæe me ne bude!

I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined to me, and heard my cry. 2 He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my steps. 3 He has put a new song in my mouth–Praise to our God; many will see it and fear, and will trust in the LORD. 4 Blessed is that man who makes the LORD his trust, and does not respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. 5 Many, O LORD my God, are your wonderful works Which you have done; and your thoughts which are toward us Cannot be recounted to you in order; if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered. 6 Sacrifice and offering you did not desire; my ears you have opened; burnt offering and sin offering you did not require. 7 Then I said, “Behold, I come; in the scroll of the Book it is written of me. 8 I delight to do your will, O my God, and your law is within my heart.” 9 I have proclaimed the good news of righteousness In the great congregation; indeed, I do not restrain my lips, O LORD, you yourself know. 10 I have not hidden your righteousness within my heart; I have declared your faithfulness and your salvation; I have not concealed your lovingkindness and your truth From the great congregation. 11 Do not withhold your tender mercies from me, O LORD; let your lovingkindness and your truth continually preserve me. 12 For innumerable evils have surrounded me; my iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of my head; therefore my heart fails me. 13 Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me; O LORD, make haste to help me! 14 Let them be ashamed and brought to mutual confusion who seek to destroy my life; let them be driven backward and brought to dishonor who wish me evil. 15 Let them be appalled because of their shame, who say to me, “Aha, aha!” 16 Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; let such as love your salvation say continually, “The LORD be magnified!” 17 But I am poor and needy; Yet the LORD thinks upon me. You are my help and my deliverer; do not delay, O my God.

Vjera i strpljivost. Psalam Davidov

Œeljno sam oçekivao Gospodina; on se milostiv prignuo k meni i çuo moju glasnu molitvu. 2 Iz jame propasti izvuçe me, iz blatne kaljuœe postavi na hridinu moje noge, utvrdi stope moje. 3 Stavi mi u usta pjesmu novu, hvalospjev naæem Bogu; mnogi to moraju sa strahopoætovanjem iskusiti i uzdati se u Gospodina. 4 Blagoslovljen je çovjek koji samo u Gospodina stavlja uzdanje svoje, koji se ne drœi s oholima i s nevjernim laæcima! • 5 Gospodine, moj Boœe, ti si uçinio mnogo; tvojim çudesima i namislima s nama se niæta ne moœe prispodobiti; htio bih ih javljati i pripovijedati, ali im nema broja. 6 Œrtava zaklanica i prinosa nisi htio, ali si mi dao otvorene uæi; œrtava paljenica i œrtava za grijeh ne traœiæ. 7 Zato sam rekao: “Evo, ovdje sam; u knjizi je meni to oznaçeno. 8 Volju tvoju çiniti, moj Boœe, meni je slast; tvoj zakon nosim u srcu. 9 Dao sam radosnu vijest o pravednom upravljanju tvojem pred zborom velikim, svoja usta nisam zatvorio, ti znaæ, Gospodine! 10 I nisam zakopao u srcu tvoje sudaçko upravljanje, slavio sam tvoju vjernost i pomoø, nisam æutio o tvojoj dobroti i milosti pred velikim zborom. 11 Zato i ti, Gospodine, ne uskraøuj meni svojega milosråa! Tvoja dobrota i vjernost neka me ætiti uvijek! 12 Jer me opkoljuju nebrojene muke: stigla me moja zlodjela, ne mogu ih pregledati; ima ih viæe nego kose na mojoj glavi; sva me srçanost ostavi. 13 Voljan budi, Gospodine, izbaviti me, doåi mi brzo u pomoø, Gospodine! 14 Neka se posrame i postide svi koji mi rade o glavi da je uzmu, posramljeni neka odstupe natrag koji mi œele nesreøu! 15 Neka se zgroze od svoje sramote koji mi se rugaju: “Ha, ha!” 16 A neka se raduju i vesele u tebi svi koji œele tebe! Neka govore uvijek: “Velik je Gospodin!” koji traœe tvoje spasenje! 17 Ja sam bijedan i siromah, Gospodin brinut øe se za mene! Ti si moj pomoønik i Spasitelj, moj Boœe, nemoj kasniti!

We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what deeds you did in their days, in days of old: 2 How you drove out the nations with your hand, but them you planted; How you afflicted the peoples, and cast them out. 3 For they did not gain possession of the land by their own sword, nor did their own arm save them; but it was your right hand, your arm, and the light of your countenance, because you favored them. 4 You are my King, O God; command victories for Jacob. 5 Through you we will push down our enemies; through your name we will trample those who rise up against us. 6 For I will not trust in my bow, nor shall my sword save me. 7 But you have saved us from our enemies, and have put to shame those who hated us. 8 In God we boast all day long, and praise your name forever. Selah 9 But you have cast us off and put us to shame, and you do not go out with our armies. 10 You make us turn back from the enemy, and those who hate us have taken spoil for themselves. 11 You have given us up like sheep intended for food, and have scattered us among the nations. 12 You sell your people for naught, and are not enriched by their price. 13 You make us a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and a derision to those all around us. 14 You make us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples. 15 My dishonor is continually before me, and the shame of my face has covered me, 16 Because of the voice of him who reproaches and reviles, because of the enemy and the avenger. 17 All this has come upon us; but we have not forgotten you, nor have we dealt falsely with your covenant. 18 Our heart has not turned back, nor have our steps departed from your way; 19 But you have severely broken us in the place of jackals, and covered us with the shadow of death. 20 If we had forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a foreign god, 21 Would not God search this out? For he knows the secrets of the heart. 22 Yet for your sake we are killed all day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 23 Awake! Why do you sleep, O LORD? Arise! Do not cast us off forever. 24 Why do you hide your face, and forget our affliction and our oppression? 25 For our soul is bowed down to the dust; our body clings to the ground. 26 Arise for our help, and redeem us for your mercies’ sake.

Nekada i sada. Pjesma sinova Korahovih

Sluæali smo, o Boœe, svojim uæima, naæi su nam oçevi pripovjedili: u njihove dane uçinio si sjajno djelo, u davne dane. 2 Svojom si rukom protjerao neznaboæce, a njih si posadio, narode si iskorijenio, a njih si umnoœio. 3 Jer nisu zadobili zemlje svojim maçem, niti im njihova miæica donijela pobjedu, nego tvoja desnica, tvoja miæica, svjetlo tvojega lica, jer si im ti bio sklon. 4 Ti si kralj moj, O Boœe, koji si dao pobjede Jakovu. 5 Mi s Tobom ruæimo na tlo svoje neprijatelje, s tvojom pomoøu pogazimo svoje protivnike. 6 Jer neøu da se pouzdam u svoj lßk, niti mi moj maç pomaœe do pobjede! 7 Kad si ti nama dao pobjedu nad neprijateljima i posrami mrzitelje naæe. 8 Zato øemo se mi uvijek Bogom hvaliti; ime øemo tvoje slaviti zauvijek. 9 Ali sad si nas posve odbacio i posramio nas, nisi iæao s vojskama naæim u boj. 10 Pustio si nas da izmaknemo pred neprijateljima, neprijatelji naæi odnijeli su sebi plijen. 11 Dao si nas kao ovce na klanje, rasijao nas meåu neznaboæce. 12 Prodao si svoj narod u bescjenje i nisi se obogatio njihovim utrækom. 13 Postavio si nas za porugu susjedima naæim, da nam se rugaju i smiju oni, koji su okolo nas. 14 Naçinio si od nas priçu meåu narodima; gledajuøi nas, ljudi maæu glavom. 15 Pred oçima stoji mi uvijek ta sramota, stid mi je pokrio lice, 16 od vike rugaça koji psuje, od pogleda neprijatelja koji œeåa za osvetom. 17 Sve nas je ovo snaælo, a mi ipak nismo tebe zaboravili i tvojemu zavjetu se nismo iznevjerili. 18 Srce naæe nije izmaklo, niti korak naæ ostavi stazu tvoju. 19 Ti si nas ipak razbio na mjestu çagalja i pokrio nas sjenom smrti. 20 Kad bismo zaboravili ime svojega Boga, ili svoje ruke podizali tuåem bogu, 21 zar ne bi to pronaæao Bog, koji poznaje najtajnije misli srca? 22 Eto, dave nas zbog tebe svaki dan, s nama postupaju kao s ovcama klanicama. 23 Ustani! Æto spavaæ, Gospodine? Probudi se! Ne odbacuj nas vjeçno! 24 Æto krijeæ svoje lice, i zaboravljaæ naæu nevolju i naæu muku? 25 Jer se prignula naæa duæa do praha; naæe tijelo prianja za tlo. 26 Digni se! Doåi nam u pomoø, izbavi nas zbog svoje milosti!

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. 2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; 3 Though its waters roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with its swelling. Selah 4 There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High. 5 God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God shall help her, just at the break of dawn. 6 The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved; he uttered his voice, the earth melted. 7 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah 8 Come, behold the works of the LORD, who has made desolations in the earth. 9 He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; he breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two; he burns the chariot in the fire. 10 Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! 11 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge.

Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised In the city of our God, in his holy mountain. 2 Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, Is Mount Zion on the sides of the north, the city of the great King. 3 God is in her palaces; he is known as her refuge. 4 For behold, the kings assembled, they passed by together. 5 They saw it, and so they marveled; they were troubled, they hastened away. 6 Fear took hold of them there, and pain, as of a woman in travail, 7 As when you break the ships of Tarshish With an east wind. 8 As we have heard, so we have seen In the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it forever. Selah 9 We have thought, O God, on your lovingkindness, in the midst of your temple. 10 According to your name, O God, so is your praise to the ends of the earth; your right hand is full of righteousness. 11 Let Mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of your judgments. 12 Walk about Zion, and go all around her. Count her towers; 13 Mark well her bulwarks; consider her palaces; that you may tell it to the generation following. 14 For this is God, our God forever and ever; he will be our guide Even to death.

Hear this, all you peoples; give ear, all you inhabitants of the world, 2 Both low and high, rich and poor together. 3 My mouth shall speak wisdom, and the meditation of my heart shall bring understanding. 4 I will incline my ear to a proverb; I will disclose my dark saying on the harp. 5 Why should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity at my heels surrounds me? 6 Those who trust in their wealth and boast in the multitude of their riches, 7 None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him– 8 For the redemption of their souls is costly, and it shall cease forever– 9 That he should continue to live eternally, and not see the Pit. 10 For he sees that wise men die; likewise the fool and the senseless person perish, and leave their wealth to others. 11 Their inner thought is that their houses will continue forever, and their dwelling places to all

Velik je Gospodin i svake slave dostojan u gradu naæega Boga, na svojoj svetoj gori! 2 Krasno se istiçe radost cijele zemlje: Gora Sion, vrhunac na sjeveru, grad moønoga kralja. 3 Bog se u njegovim dvorima objavio kao jaka tvråava. 4 Jer eto: kraljevi su se skupili, doæli su ovamo zajedno. 5 Çim su vidjeli, zapanjili se i zbunjeni pobjegli. 6 Trepet ih ondje obuzeo, bol kao u œena kad raåaju. 7 Ti si vjetrom istoçnim razbio laåe taræiæke. 8 Kako smo çuli, tako smo sad vidjeli: u gradu stoji Gospodin vojska, u gradu naæ Bog, Bog çini da vjeçno postoji. 9 Sjeøamo se, o Boœe, tvoje dobrote usred tvojega doma. 10 Kao tvoje Ime, o Boœe, tako neka dopire tvoja slava do krajeva zemlje; pravde je puna tvoja desnica. 11 Tomu se veseli Gora Sion, kliçu køeri Judine zbog tvojih presuda. 12 Proåite oko Siona, obiåite ga, izbrojte kule njegove. 13 Pogledajte dobro njegove bedeme, promotrite njegove dvorce, onda moœete navjeæøivati buduøem naraætaju: 14 “Jer to je Bog, naæ Bog zauvijek i vjeçno; On øe nas voditi do smrti.”

51

Have mercy upon me, O God, according to your lovingkindness; according to the multitude of your tender mercies, blot out my transgressions. 2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. 3 For I acknowledge my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. 4 Against you, you only, have I sinned, and done this evil in your sight–That you may be found just when you speak, and blameless when you judge. 5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin my mother conceived me. 6 Behold, you desire truth in the inward parts, and in the hidden part you will make me to know wisdom. 7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 8 Make me to hear joy and gladness, that the bones which you have broken may rejoice. 9 Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities. 10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. 11 Do not cast me away from your presence, and do not take your Holy Spirit from me. 12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with your generous Spirit. 13 Then I will teach transgressors your ways, and sinners shall be converted to you. 14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, the God of my salvation, and my tongue shall sing aloud of your righteousness. 15 O LORD, open my lips, and my mouth shall show forth your praise. 16 For you do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give it; you do not delight in burnt offering. 17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, a broken and a contrite heart–these, O God, you will not despise. 18 Do good in your good pleasure to Zion; build the walls of Jerusalem. 19 Then you shall be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering; then they shall offer bulls on your altar.

52

Why do you boast in evil, o mighty man? The goodness of God endures continually. 2 Your tongue devises destruction, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully. 3 You love evil more than good, and lying rather than speaking righteousness. Selah 4 You love all devouring words, you deceitful tongue. 5 God shall likewise destroy you forever; he shall take you away, and pluck you out of your dwelling place, and uproot you from the land of the living. Selah 6 The righteous also shall see and fear, and shall laugh at him, saying, 7 Here is the man who did not make God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.” 8 But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in the mercy of God forever and ever. 9 I will praise you forever, because you have done it; and in the presence of your saints I will wait on your name, for it is good.

Davidova pokorniçka pjesma

Smiluj mi se, o Boœe, po milosråu svojem, po velikom milosråu svojem uniæti grijehe moje! 2 Posve me operi od mojih zlodjela, od mojega grijeha oçisti me! 3 Jer ja znam zloçin svoj, krivnja moja uvijek mi je pred oçima. 4 Tebi, tebi sam samo sagrijeæio; æto je pred Tobom bilo zlo, to sam uçinio, tako da se ti pokazujeæ pravedan u presudi svojoj, çist stojiæ u sudu svojem. 5 Jer gle, roåen sam u grijehu, i u grijehu me je zaçela moja majka. 6 Gle, ti traœiæ çistoøu srca; udijeli nutrini mojoj mudrost. 7 Poækropi me hisopom da se oçistim; operi me i bit øu bjelji od snijega. 8 Daj mi da okuæam radost i veselje, da se razveseli moje tijelo kojega bijeæ! 9 Zastri svoje lice od mojih grijeha i uniæti sva moja zlodjela. 10 Srce çisto stvorio mi, o Boœe, duh pravi obnovi u meni. 11 Ne odbacuj me od svojega lica, svojega svetoga Duha ne uzimaj od mene! 12 Daj da ponovno iskusim radost tvojega spasenja, daj me okrijepi u duhu dragovoljnom. 13 Onda øu pokazati bezboœnicima tvoje putove, da se grjeænici obrate k tebi. 14 Izbavi me od krvi, o Boœe, Boœe mojega spasenja! Onda øe moj jezik glasno slaviti milost tvoju. 15 Gospodine, otvori moje usne, i usta øe moja navjeæøivati hvalu tvoju! 16 Œrtava nisi htio, a htio sam ti ih dati; œrtve paljenice tebi se ne mile. 17 Œrtve æto su Bogu ugodne, skruæen je duh, srce skruæeno i poniœeno, o Boœe, ti to nikada ne prezireæ. 18 Çini dobro na Sionu u svojoj naklonosti i podigni zidove Jeruzalema! 19 Onda øe ti ugodno biti sa pravednim œrtvama: œrtvama paljenicama, cijelim œrtvama; onda øe se stavljati junci na œrtvenik tvoj. Loæi svræetak zla jezika. Pouçna pjesma Davidova

Silniçe æto se hvaliæ zloøom: “Milost Boœja traje uvijek!” 2 Nepravdu izmiælja tvoj jezik, on je kao oætar noœ, ti kovaçu varke. 3 Voliæ viæe zlo nego dobro, viæe laœ nego pravedan govor. 4 Voliæ sve rijeçi æto raåaju zlo, ti jeziçe pun varke. 5 Zato øe te i Bog uniætiti zauvijek, iæçupat øe te, izbacit øe te iz æatora, iskorijenit øe te iz zemlje œivih. 6 Pravednici øe to gledati i zgrozit øe se, i onda øe mu se rugati: 7 “Gle çovjeka koji nije traœio svoje utoçiæte u Bogu! Gradio je na veliçini svojega bogatstva, prkosio je svojom zloøom.” 8 A ja sam kao zelena maslina u kuøi Boœjoj; ja stavljam uzdanje svoje u milosråe Boœje uvijek i zauvijek.

Be merciful to me, O God, for man would swallow me up; fighting all day he oppresses

me. 2 My enemies would hound me all day, for there are many who fight against me, O Most High. 3 Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in you. 4 In God (I will praise his word), in God I have put my trust; I will not fear. What can flesh do to me? 5 All day they twist my words; all their thoughts are against me for evil. 6 They gather together, they hide, they mark my steps, when they lie in wait for my life. 7 Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, O God! 8 You number my wanderings; put my tears into your bottle; are they not in your book? 9 When I cry out to you, then my enemies will turn back; this I know, because God is for me. 10 In God (I will praise his word), in the LORD (I will praise his word), 11 In God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? 12 Vows made to you are binding upon me, O God; I will render praises to you, 13 For you have delivered my soul from death. Have you not delivered my feet from falling, that I may walk before God In the light of the living?

57

Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me! For my soul trusts in you; and in the shadow of your wings I will make my refuge, until these calamities have passed by. 2 I will cry out to God Most High, to God who performs all things for me. 3 He shall send from heaven and save me; he reproaches the one who would swallow me up. Selah God shall send forth his mercy and his truth. 4 My soul is among lions; I lie among the sons of men who are set on fire, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword. 5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be above all the earth. 6 They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down; they have dug a pit before me; into the midst of it they themselves have fallen.

Smiluj se meni, o Boœe, smiluj mi se, jer se u tebe uzda moja duæa; u sjenu tvojih krila ja øu se sakriti dok zlo ne mine. 2 Vapijem k Bogu Sveviænjemu, k Bogu koji brani moju stvar. 3 On neka mi poæalje pomoø s neba, jer mi se progonitelj moj ruga! Bog neka dade svoju milost i vjernost. 4 Moja duæa prebiva meåu ljutim lavovima, meåu ljudima kojima su zubi koplja i strijele, kojima je jezik maç oætar. 5 Iznad nebesa pokaœi svoje veliçanstvo, o Boœe, sjaj tvoj neka napuni sav svijet! 6 Namjestili su zamku nogama mojim, ali me je on drœao daleko, iskopali su preda mnom jamu, ali su oni sami pali u nju. 7 Utjeæeno je moje srce, o Boœe, utjeæeno je

Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; Defend me from those who rise up against me. 2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloodthirsty men. 3 For look, they lie in wait for my life; the mighty gather against me, not for my transgression nor for my sin, O LORD. 4 They run and prepare themselves through no fault of mine.

For God is my defense; 10 My merciful God shall come to meet me; God shall let me see my desire on my enemies. 11 Do not slay them, lest my people forget; scatter them by your power, and bring them down, O LORD our shield. 12 For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips, let them even be taken in their pride, and for the cursing and lying which they speak. 13 Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be; and let them know that God rules in Jacob To the ends of the earth.

Save me, O God! For the waters have come up to my neck. 2 I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing; I have come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me. 3 I am weary with my crying; my throat is dry; my eyes fail while I wait for my God. 4 Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head; they are mighty who would destroy me, being my enemies wrongfully; though I have stolen nothing, I still must restore it. 5 O God, you know my foolishness; and my sins are not hidden from you. 6 Let not those who wait for you, O LORD God of hosts, be ashamed because of me; let not those who seek you be confounded because of me, O God of Israel. 7 Because for your sake I have borne reproach; shame has covered my face. 8 I have become a stranger to my brothers, and an alien to my mother’s children; 9 Because zeal for your house has eaten me up, and the reproaches of those who reproach you have fallen on me. 10 When I wept and chastened my soul with fasting, that became my reproach. 11 I also made sackcloth my garment; I became a byword to them. 12 Those who sit in the gate speak against me, and I am the song of the drunkards. 13 But as for me, my prayer is to you, O LORD, in the acceptable time; O God, in the multitude of your mercy, hear me in the truth of your salvation. 14 Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink; let me be delivered from those who hate me, and out of the deep waters. 15 Let not the floodwater overflow me, nor let the deep swallow me up; and let not the pit shut its mouth on me. 16 Hear me, O LORD, for your lovingkindness is good; turn to me according to the multitude of your tender mercies. 17 And do not hide your face from your servant, for I am in trouble; hear me speedily. 18 Draw near to my soul, and redeem it; deliver me because of my enemies.

Vapaj u krajnjoj nevolji. Psalam Davidov

Spasi me, o Boœe, jer mi veø dolaze vode do grla. 2 Propadam u dubokom glibu gdje nema viæe dna, tonem vodi u dubine, valovi me zalijevaju. 3 Iznemogao sam viçuøi, grlo mi se osuæilo, oçi mi se ugasile gledajuøi svojega Boga. 4 Ima viæe nego kose na mojoj glavi onih koji me mrze ni za æto; jaki su moji neprijatelji koji me nepravedno progone: moram vraøati æto nikada nisam oteo. 5 Ti, o Boœe, znaæ za bezumlje moje, krivnje moje nisu skrivene od tebe. 6 Nemoj da se postide u meni koji oçekuju tebe, Svemoøni, o Gospodine vojska! Nemoj da se posrame u meni koji traœe tebe, o Boœe Izraelov! 7 Jer zbog tebe podnosim porugu, sramotno rumenilo pokriva moje lice. 8 Stranac postao sam svojoj braøi, doæljak sinovima svoje majke. 9 Jer revnost za tvoju kuøu izjeda me i na mene pada grdnja tvojih pogrditelja. 10 Kad postim i gorko plaçem, i to mi se prima samo za zlo. 11 Odjenem li vreøu od kostrijeti mjesto haljine, postajem im za ruglo. 12 Koji sjede na vratima, govore o meni, i pijanice pripijevaju o meni. 13 Ali ja–ja vapijem k tebi o Gospodine, o Boœe, u vrijeme milosti! Usliæaj me u svojoj velikoj milosti, i u svojoj moønoj vjernosti! 14 Izvadi me iz gliba da ne propadnem, izbavi me od mojih mrzitelja i iz duboke vode! 15 Neka me bujica ne poplavi, neka me puçina ne proœdre, neka se sklopi jama svojega œdrijela nada mnom! 16 Usliæaj me o Gospodine, jer je dobrostiva tvoja milost, okreni se k meni u bogatom milosråu! 17 Ne skrivaj svojega lica od svojega sluge, u tjeskobi sam; brœe me usliæa! 18 Pribliœi se mojoj duæi i izbavi je, zbog mojih neprijatelja oslobodi me! 19 Ti znaæ porugu moju, pogrdu moju, sramotu moju; svi moji neprijatelji tebi su pred oçima.

Make haste, O God, to deliver me! Make haste to help me, O LORD! 2 Let them be ashamed and confounded who seek my life; let them be turned back and confused who desire my hurt. 3 Let them be turned back because of their shame, who say, “Aha, aha!” 4 Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; and let those who love your salvation say continually, “Let God be magnified!” 5 But I am poor and needy; make haste to me, O God! You are my help and my deliverer; O LORD, do not delay.

71

In you, O LORD, I put my trust; let me never be put to shame. 2 Deliver me in your righteousness, and cause me to escape; incline your ear to me, and save me. 3 Be my strong habitation, to which I may resort continually; you have given the commandment to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress. 4 Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man. 5 For you are my hope, O LORD God; you are my trust from my youth. 6 By you I have been upheld from my birth; you are he who took me out of my mother’s womb. My praise shall be continually of you. 7 I have become as a wonder to many, but you are my strong refuge. 8 Let my mouth be filled with your praise and with your glory all the day. 9 Do not cast me off in the time of old age; do not

Give the king your judgments, O God, and your righteousness to the king’s Son. 2 He will judge your people with righteousness, and your poor with justice. 3 The mountains will bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness. 4 He will bring justice to the poor of the people; he will save the children of the needy, and will break in pieces the oppressor. 5 They shall fear you as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations. 6 He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass, like showers that water the earth. 7 In his days the righteous shall flourish, and abundance of peace, until the moon is no more. 8 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth. 9 Those who dwell in the wilderness will bow before him, and his enemies will lick the dust. 10 The kings of Tarshish and of the isles will bring presents; the kings of Sheba and Seba will offer gifts. 11 Yes, all kings shall fall down before him; all nations shall serve him. 12 For he will deliver the needy when he cries, the poor also, and him who has no helper. 13 He will spare the poor and needy, and will save the souls of the needy. 14 He will redeem their life from oppression and violence; and precious shall be their blood in his sight. 15 And he shall live; and the gold of Sheba will be given to him; prayer also will be made for him continually, and daily he shall be praised.

Truly God is good to Israel, to such as are pure in heart. 2 But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled; my steps had nearly slipped. 3 For I was envious of the boastful, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. 4 For there are no pangs in their death, but their strength is firm. 5 They are not in trouble as other men, nor are they plagued like other men. 6 Therefore pride serves as their necklace; violence covers them like a garment. 7 Their eyes bulge with abundance; they have more than heart could wish. 8 They scoff and speak wickedly concerning oppression; they speak loftily. 9 They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walks through the earth. 10 Therefore his people return here, and waters of a full cup are drained by them. 11 And they say, “How does God know? And is there knowledge in the Most High?” 12 Behold, these are the ungodly, who are always at ease; they increase in riches. 13 Surely I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocence. 14 For all day long I have been plagued, and chastened every morning. 15 If I had said, “I will speak thus,” Behold, I would have been untrue to the generation of your children. 16 When I thought how to understand this, It was too painful for me– 17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then I understood their end. 18 Surely you set them in slippery places; you cast them down to destruction. 19 Oh, how they are brought to desolation, as in a moment! They are utterly consumed with terrors. 20 As a dream when one awakes, so, LORD, when you awake, you shall despise their image. 21 Thus my heart was grieved, and I was vexed in my mind. 22 I was so foolish and ignorant; I was like a beast before you. 23 Nevertheless I am continually with you; you hold me by my right hand. 24 You will guide me with your counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. 25 Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides you. 26 My flesh and my heart fail; but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. 27 For indeed, those who are far from you shall perish; you have destroyed all those who desert you for harlotry. 28 But it is good for me to draw near to God; I have put my trust in the LORD God, that I may declare all

Kako je dobar Bog Izraelu, onima koji su çista srca! 2 A meni umalo nisu poklekle noge, umalo se nisu poskliznuli moji koraci. 3 Jer sam se uzbunio zbog bezboœnika videøi kako bezboœnici dobro œive. 4 Ne znaju oni za nevolju, zdravo im je i jako tijelo. 5 Ne kuæaju boli drugih ljudi i ne muçe se kao drugi ljudi. 6 Zato im je vrat obavijen oholoæøu kao ogrlicom, odjeveni su u nasilje kao u haljine. 7 Iz zla srca raåa se njihova zloøa, prepuni se loæih naslada. 8 Rugaju se i govore pakosno, i s visine silom se groze 9 Svoja usta diœu veø i u nebesa a jezik njihov pruœa se po zemlji. 10 Zato se narod obraøa njima i ispija obilnu vodu njihove çaæe. 11 Govore: “Ah, kako bi to znao Bog? Zar uopøe ima znanja u Sveviænjega?” 12 Eto, tako je s bezboœnicima; nesmetano stalno umnoœavaju bogatstvo. 13 I tako sam uzalud drœao svoje çisto srce i badava prao u nevinosti svoje ruke. 14 Zato me svaki dan pogaåalo zlo, svako se jutro iznova podizala bol moja. 15 Kad bih pomislio: “Govorit øu i ovako,” zaista bih izdao naraætaj djece tvoje. 16 Onda sam poçeo razmiæljati da bih to razumio; ali je to bilo muçno u mojim oçima, 17 dok sam najposlije uæao u tajnu Boœju i vidio kako oni skonçaju. 18 Jer ti ih postavljaæ na sklizavo tlo i puætaæ da se raspadnu u ruæevine. 19 Kako su najedanput potamnjeli, nestalo ih, strahota ih upropastila. 20 Kao æto slika sna iæçezne kad se çovjek probudi, tako ti, Boœe, razbijeæ njihovu sliku kad ustaneæ. 21 Zaista, kad je gorçina izjedala moje srce i bol oætro probadala moju nutrinu. 22 Onda sam bio kao œivinçe bez razbora; kao nijema stoka sam stajao pred Tobom. 23 Ali ipak ostao sam stalno kod tebe; ti si me bio prihvatio za desnu ruku. 24 Po svojem savjetu vodio si me i poslije øeæ me odvesti u slavu. 25 A koga imam ja u nebu osim tebe? Niæta me viæe ne veseli na zemlji. 26 Neka mi nestane tijela i srca, ostaje ipak joæ Bog, branik mojega srca, baætina moja zauvijek! 27 Jer evo, koji se udaljuju od tebe, idu u propast; koji ostave tebe, ti ih sve uniætiæ. 28 A za mene je dobro blizina Boœja; u

O God, why have you cast us off forever? Why does your anger smoke against the sheep of your pasture? 2 Remember your congregation, which you have purchased of old, the tribe of your inheritance, which you have redeemed–This Mount Zion where you have dwelt. 3 Lift up your feet to the perpetual desolations. The enemy has damaged everything in the sanctuary. 4 Your enemies roar in the midst of your meeting place; they set up their banners for signs. 5 They seem like men who lift up axes among the thick trees. 6 And now they break down its carved work, all at once, with axes and hammers. 7 They have set fire to your sanctuary; they have defiled the dwelling place of your name to the ground. 8 They said in their hearts, “Let us destroy them altogether.” They have burned up all the meeting places of God in the land. 9 We do not see our signs; there is no longer any prophet; nor is there any among us who knows how long. 10 O God, how long will the adversary reproach? Will the enemy blaspheme your name forever? 11 Why do you withdraw your hand, even your right hand? Take it out of your bosom and destroy them. 12 For God is my King from of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth. 13 You divided the sea by your strength; you broke the heads of the sea serpents in the waters. 14 You broke the heads of Leviathan in pieces, and gave him as food to the people inhabiting the wilderness. 15 You broke open the fountain and the flood; you dried up mighty rivers. 16 The day is yours, the night also is yours; you have prepared the light and the sun. 17 You have set all the borders of the earth; you have made summer and winter. 18 Remember this, that the enemy has reproached, O LORD, and that a foolish people has blasphemed your name. 19 Oh, do not deliver the life of your turtledove to the wild beast! Do not forget the life of your poor forever. 20 Have respect to the covenant; for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty. 21 Oh, do not let the oppressed return ashamed! Let the poor and needy praise your name. 22 Arise, O God, plead your own cause; remember how the foolish man reproaches you daily. 23 Do not forget the voice of your enemies; the tumult of those who rise up against you increases continually.

75

We give thanks to you, O God, we give thanks! For your wondrous works declare that your name is near. 2 When I choose the proper time, I will judge uprightly. 3 The earth and all its inhabitants are dissolved; I set up its pillars firmly. Selah 4 I said to the boastful, ‘Do not deal boastfully,’ and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up the horn. 5 Do not lift up your horn on high; do not speak with a stiff neck.’ ” 6 For exaltation comes neither from the east Nor from the west nor from the south.

Vapaj protiv neprijatelja Svetoga i grada

Æto nas odbacujeæ, Boœe, zauvijek; æto plamti tvoja srdœba na ovce tvoje

paæe? 2 Spomeni se svoje zajednice koju si stekao od starine, koju si otkupio za narod svoje baætine, Gore Siona, na kojoj si se nastanio. 3 Korake svoje okreni vjeçnim ruæevinama; sve je u svetiætu poharao neprijatelj. 4 Tvoji tlaçitelji digli su dobitnu viku na mjestu tvojega sastanka; kao pobjedne znakove postavili su svoje bojne znakove. 5 Oni su to poçinili kao kad se u gustoj æumi visoko zamahne sjekira: 6 Sjekirom i maljem razbili su sve æto je bilo u njemu rezbareno. 7 Ognjem su spalili tvoje svetiæte; stan tvojega Imena oskvrnuli su do temelja. 8 Rekli su u sebi: “Uniætit øemo ih sasvim!” Tako su popalili sva mjesta Boœja u zemlji. 9 Ne vidimo viæe çudesnih znamenja svojih; nema viæe proroka, nema meåu nama tko bi znao dokle øe to trajati. 10 Dokle øe se, o Boœe, joæ rugati protivnik? Zar øe zauvijek neprijatelj psovati tvoje Ime? 11 Æto usteœeæ svoju ruku, svoju desnicu? Izvadi je iz svojih njedara i uçinio kraj. 12 Bog je kralj moj od starine, on çini silna djela na zemlji. 13 Ti si moøi svojom rasjekao more; ti si satro glavu vodenim nemanima. 14 Ti si razmrskao glave Levijatanu, dao si da ga jede narod koji œivi u pustinji. 15 Ti si otvorio izvore i potoke, ti si isuæio rijeke nepresuæne. 16 Tvoj je dan i tvoja je noø, mjesecu i suncu dao si svoje mjesto; 17 utvrdio si sve granice zemaljske; stvorio si ljeto i zimu. 18 Spomeni se toga, neprijatelj se narugao Gospodinu; narod je bezumni psovao tvoje Ime. 19 Ne daji zvijerima duæe svoje golubice i nemoj zaboraviti œivota svojih ubogih zauvijek! 20 Pogledaj na zavjet, jer su zemaljske æpilje pune boraviæta nasilja! 21 Nevoljnik neka se ne vrati sramotan; ubogi i potlaçeni neka hvale tvoje Ime! 22 Digni se, o Boœe, brani stvar svoju i spomeni se kako ti se bezumnici uvijek rugaju! 23 Nemoj zaboraviti obijesti svojih neprijatelja, vike protivnika svojih, koji se joæ neprestano mnoœe!

Hvalimo te, o Boœe, hvalimo te, jer je blizu tvoje Ime, daj nam da navjeæøujemo tvoja çudesa! 2 “Pravi ças ja øu veø izabrati; onda øu reøi sud pravedan. 3 Ako se i strese zemlja sa svima koji prebivaju na njoj, ja sam koji utvråuje stupove njezine. 4 Opominjem hvalisave: ‘Ne hvalite se ipak tako!’ i bezboœnike: ‘Ne diœite roga!’ 5 Ne diœite roga svojega visoko protiv onoga gore, ne govorite drsko i tvrdoglavo!’ ” 6 Jer pomoø ne dolazi ni od istoka ni od zapada ni od pustinje ni od gora.

Psalam Asafov

In Judah God is known; his name is great in Israel. 2 In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion. 3 There he broke the arrows of the bow, the shield and the sword and the battle-ax. Selah 4 You are more glorious and excellent Than the mountains of prey. 5 The stouthearted were plundered; they have sunk into their sleep; and none of the mighty men have found the use of their hands. 6 At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse were cast into a dead sleep. 7 You, yourself, are to be feared; and who may stand in your presence when once you are angry? 8 You caused judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared and was still, 9 When God arose to judgment, to deliver all the oppressed of the earth. Selah 10 Surely the wrath of man shall praise you; with the remainder of wrath you shall gird yourself. 11 Make vows to the LORD your God, and pay them; let all who are around him bring presents to him who ought to be feared. 12 He shall cut off the spirit of princes; he is awesome to the kings of the earth.

Glasno vapijem Bogu mojim glasom; moram vikati: glasno vapijem Bogu mojim glasom. 2 U dan moje nevolje traœim Gospodina, noøu je moja ruka ispruœena bez prestanka, moja duæa ne da se utjeæiti. 3 Kad se spomenem Boga, moram uzdisati, kad razmiæljam, klone moje srce. 4 Ne daæ da mi se zaklopi oko; smeten sam, ne mogu se viæe moliti. 5 Spominjem se proælih dana, sjeøam se davnih godina. 6 Promiæljam noøu, mislim u svojem srcu, tako pita moj duh: 7 “Zar øe se zauvijek gnjeviti Gospodine i zar se viæe nikada neøe smilovati? 8 Zar je zauvijek prestala njegova milost? Zar se prekinula njegova rijeç obeøanja za sve naraætaje? 9 Zar je zaboravio Bog milostiv biti, u gnjevu zatvorio milosråe svoje?” Selah. 10 I rekao sam: “To je moja bol, da se promijenila desnica Sveviænjega.” 11 Spominjem se djela Gospodinovih, sjeøam se tvojih nekadaænjih çudesa. 12 Razmiæljat øu o svim tvojim djelima, i govorim o radovima tvojim. 13 Uzviæena je tvoja uprava, o Boœe, koji je bog tako velik kao naæ Bog? 14 Ti si Bog koji çiniæ çudesa, ti si objavio svoju moø narodima. 15 Svojom miæicom otkupio si svoj narod, sinove Jakovljeve i Josipove.

I cried out to God with my voice–to God with my voice; and he gave ear to me. 2 In the day of my trouble I sought the LORD; my hand was stretched out in the night without ceasing; my soul refused to be comforted. 3 I remembered God, and was troubled; I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah 4 You hold my eyelids open; I am so troubled that I cannot speak. 5 I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times. 6 I call to remembrance my song in the night; I meditate within my heart, and my spirit makes diligent search. 7 Will the L ORD cast off forever? And will he be favorable no more? 8 Has his mercy ceased forever? Has his promise failed forevermore? 9 Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah 10 And I said, “This is my anguish; but I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High.” 11 I will remember the works of the LORD; surely I will remember your wonders of old. 12 I will also meditate on all your work, and talk of your deeds. 13 Your way, O God, is in the sanctuary; who is so great a God as our God? 14 You are the God who does wonders; you have declared your strength among the peoples. 15 You have with your arm redeemed your people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah 16 The waters saw you, O God; the waters saw you,

Objavio se Bog u Judeji, veliko je njegovo ime u Izraelu. 2 U Salemu je njegov æator, na Sionu je njegovo prebivaliæte. 3 Ondje je polomio strijele lßku, ætit, maç i bojnu opremu. 4 Sjajno odjeven siæao si ti, Slavni, od pradavnih gora. 5 Odvaœni divovi traœili su plijen sebi, ali su pali u smrtni san; junaci su osjetili svoje nemoøne ruke. 6 Pred prijetnjom tvojom, o Boœe Jakovljev, popadali su konjanik i konj na tlo. 7 Ta straæan ti si i tko da se odrœi pred Tobom, kad plane tvoja srdœba? 8 S neba si oglasio presudu: zemlja se prepala i zanijemila, 9 kad je Bog ustao na sud, da pomogne svim nastradalima na zemlji. 10 Ali tjeskoba ljudska postala je hvalospjev; ostatak strahote pretvorio se u radost. 11 Zato çinite zavjete i prinosite ih svojem Bogu, Gospodinu; svi, koji ste oko njega, prinosite dare Straænomu! 12 Oholost vladara ponizuje on, kraljeve zemaljske on prepada.

Give ear, o my people, to my law; incline your ears to the words of my mouth. 2 I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings of old, 3 Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us. 4 We will not hide them from their children, telling to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength and his wonderful works that he has done. 5 For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children; 6 That the generation to come might know them, the children who would be born, that they may arise and declare them to their children, 7 That they may set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments; 8 And may not be like their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that did not set its heart aright, and whose spirit was not faithful to God. 9 The children of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle. 10 They did not keep the covenant of God; they refused to walk in his law, 11 And forgot his works and his wonders that he had shown them. 12 Marvelous things he did in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan. 13 He divided the sea and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters stand up like a heap. 14 In the daytime also he led them with the cloud, and all the night with a light of fire. 15 He split the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink in abundance like the depths. 16 He also brought streams out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers. 17 But they sinned even more against him by rebelling against the Most High in the wilderness. 18 And they tested God in their heart by asking for the food of their fancy. 19 Yes, they spoke against God: They said, “Can God prepare a table in the wilderness? 20 Behold, he struck the rock, so that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed. Can he give bread also? Can he provide meat for his people?” 21 Therefore the LORD heard this and was furious; so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel, 22 Because they did not believe in God, and did not trust in his salvation. 23 Yet he had commanded the clouds above, and opened the doors of heaven, 24 Had rained down manna on them to eat, and given them of the bread of heaven.

Pripazi na moju pouku, moj narode, prignite svoje uho k rijeçima mojih

usta! 2 Otvorit øu za priçe svoja usta, i iz davnine govorit øu zagonetke. 3 Æto smo sluæali i doznali, o çemu su nas joæ izvijestili naæi oçevi. 4 To neøemo zatajiti djeci, nego øemo javiti buduøem naraætaju: slavna djela Gospodinova, njegovu moø i çudesa koja je çinio. 5 Zakon je postavio u Jakovu, u Izraelu izdao zapovijed, za koji je zapovjedio naæim oçevima da ga predaju dalje svojoj djeci; 6 da dozna za to buduøi naraætaj, djeca, koja øe se joæ roditi, neka to pripovijedaju svojoj djeci; 7 da bi i oni stavili u Boga uzdanje svoje, i ne bi zaboravili djela Boœjih, nego bi drœali njegove zapovijedi; 8 neka ne bi postali kao njihovi oçevi: rod nepokoran i nevjeran, rod koji nije otvrdnuo svoje srce, niti je bio vjeran Bogu svojim duhom. 9 Sinovi Efraimovi, naoruœani strijelci, u dan boja vratili se natrag. 10 Nisu odrœali Boœjega zavjeta, nisu htjeli hoditi po zapovijedi njegovoj, 11 i zaboravili su njegova djela i njegova çudesa, koja su smjeli gledati. 12 Pred oçima njihovih otaca uçinio çudesa u zemlji Egipat, u Zoanskom polju, 13 Razdvojio more i proveo ih i vode naslagao visoko kao nasip. 14 Vodio ih danju oblakom, a svu noø svijetlim ognjem. 15 Rastvorio hridinu usred pustinje i obilno ih napojio kao potokom. 16 Izvodi potoke iz kamena i izvodi vodu kao rijeke. 17 Ali oni nastave grijeæiti protiv njega i prkositi Sveviænjemu u pustinji. 18 I kuæali su Boga u svojem srcu traœeøi jela za svoju poœudu. 19 A ovako su govorili protiv Boga: “Moœe li Bog prostrti stol u pustinji? 20 On doduæe udario u kamen i potekle su vode i potoci se razlili, ali moœe li joæ i kruha dati i mesa pribaviti svojem narodu?” 21 Gospodin je to çuo, i razgnjevi se, i oganj planu na Jakova, i srdœba se podigla na Izraela, 22 jer nisu stavili svoje pouzdanje u Boga i svoje uzdanje u pomoø njegovu. 23 A ipak zapovjedi oblacima gore i otvorio vrata nebeska. 24 I pusti, te im kao kiæa padne mana za jelo, i dao im je kruh s neba. 25 Svaki je imao jesti kruha anåeoskoga–poslao im hrane u izobilju. 26 Pustio je, da se digne na nebesima istoçnjak, i navede jakoæøu svojom jug;

O God, the nations have come into your inheritance; your holy temple they have defiled; they have laid Jerusalem in heaps. 2 The dead bodies of your servants they have given as food for the birds of the heavens, the flesh of your saints to the beasts of the earth. 3 Their blood they have shed like water all around Jerusalem, and there was no one to bury them. 4 We have become a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and derision to those who are around us. 5 How long, LORD? Will you be angry forever? Will your jealousy burn like fire? 6 Pour out your wrath on the nations that do not know you, and on the kingdoms that do not call on your name. 7 For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling place. 8 Oh, do not remember former iniquities against us! Let your tender mercies come speedily to meet us, for we have been brought very low. 9 Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of your name; and deliver us, and provide atonement for our sins, for your name’s sake! 10 Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?” Let there be known among the nations in our sight the avenging of the blood of your servants which has been shed. 11 Let the groaning of the prisoner come before you; according to the greatness of your power Preserve those who are appointed to die; 12 And return to our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom their reproach with which they have reproached you, O LORD. 13 So we, your people and sheep of your pasture, will give you thanks forever; we will show forth your praise to all generations.

Tuœaljka i molitva iza Izrael. Psalam Asafov

O Boœe, narodi su prodrijeli tvoju baætinu, oskvrnuli su tvoj sveti dom, pretvorili su Jeruzalem u ruæevine. 2 Trupla tvojih sluga pobacali su pticama nebeskim da ih jedu, tjelesa poboœnika tvojih zvijerima zemaljskim. 3 Prolili su krv njihovu kao vodu oko Jeruzalema, i nije bilo nikoga da ih pokopa. 4 Postali smo ruglo svojim susjedima, rug i prezir svojoj okolici. 5 Dokle øeæ se joæ, Gospodine, stalno gnjeviti, dokle øe tvoja ljubomora gorjeti kao oganj? 6 Izlij srdœbu svoju na narode koji te ne poznaju, na kraljevstva koja ne poætuju tvojega Imena! 7 Jer su izjeli Jakova i prebivaliæte njegovo opustoæili. 8 Ne nosi za nama zlodjela otaca; tvoje milosråe neka nam brzo doåe u susret, jer postali smo veoma nevoljni! 9 Pomozi nam, Boœe, Spasitelju naæ, zbog çasti svojega Imena! Oslobodi nas i oprosti nam naæe grijehe zbog svojega Imena! 10 Zaæto da se rugaju neznaboæci: “Gdje je njihov Bog?” Neka se pokaœe na neznaboæcima pred oçima naæim kako osveøujeæ prolivenu krv svojih sluga. 11 Neka prodre do tebe uzdisanje suœanja, snagom miæice svoje otkupi osuåene na smrt! 12 Tako je vratio sedmerostruko u njedra susjedima naæim psovanje kojim te grde, o Gospodine! 13 A mi, tvoj narod, ovce stada tvojega, mi øemo ti zahvaljivati zauvijek, tvoju øemo slavu navjeæøivati od koljena do koljena.

Sing aloud to God our strength; make a joyful shout to the God of Jacob. 2 Raise a song and strike the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the lute. 3 Blow the trumpet at the time of the New Moon, at the full moon, on our solemn feast day. 4 For this is a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob. 5 This he established in Joseph for a testimony, when he went throughout the land of Egypt, where I heard a language that I did not understand. 6 I removed his shoulder from the burden; his hands were freed from the baskets. 7 You called in trouble, and I delivered you; I answered you in the secret place of thunder; I proved you at the waters of Meribah. Selah 8 Hear, o my people, and I will admonish you! O Israel, if you will listen to me! 9 There shall be no foreign god among you; nor shall you worship any foreign god. 10 I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt; open your mouth wide, and I will fill it. 11 But my people would not heed my voice, and Israel would have none of me. 12 So I gave them over to their own stubborn heart, to walk in their own counsels. 13 Oh, that my people would listen to me, that Israel would walk in my ways! 14 I would soon subdue their enemies, and turn my hand against their adversaries.

Opomene i pouke na Sveçanost sjenica

Glasno kliçite Bogu, jakosti naæoj radujte se Bogu Jakovljevu! 2 Uzdignite pjesme, udarajte u bubanj, u slatku citaru s harfom! 3 Trubite u trubu o mlaåaku, o uætapu, u dan naæih Sveçanosti! 4 Jer je takav zakon u Izraelu, takva je zapovijed od Boga Jakovljeva. 5 Postavio to u Josipu, kad je izlazio iz zemlje Egipta; çujem rijeçi koje nikada nisam sluæao: 6 “Oslobodio sam ramena njegova od bremena, njegove se ruke oslobodile teretne koæare. 7 U nevolji si me zazvao: ja sam te spasio, usliæao sam te iz gromovnih oblaka; iskuæao sam te na vodi svaåe. 8 Sluæaj, moj narode, opomenut øu te! Ah, Izraele, kad bi me posluæao! 9 Neka ne bude u tebe drugoga boga i bogu tuåemu nemoj se klanjati! 10 Ja, Gospodin, tvoj sam Bog, koji sam te izveo iz zemlje Egipat, otvorio svoja usta i ja øu ih napuniti! 11 Ali moj narod ne posluæa mojega glasa, i Izrael nije uçinio po mojoj volji. 12 Ja sam ih pustio na volju njihova srca, neka hode po svojim œeljama. 13 Ah, da me je moj narod sluæao, da je Izrael hodio putovima mojim. 14 Brzo bih bio pokorio neprijatelje njihove i na protivnike njihove bio bih podigao svoju ruku.

God stands in the congregation of the mighty; he judges among the gods. 2 How long will you judge unjustly, and show partiality to the wicked? Selah 3 Defend the poor and fatherless; do justice to the afflicted and needy. 4 Deliver the poor and needy; free them from the hand of the wicked. 5 They do not know, nor do they understand; they walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are unstable. 6 I said, “You are gods, and all of you are children of the Most High. 7 But you shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.” 8 Arise, O God, judge the earth; for you shall inherit all nations.

83

Do not keep silent, O God! Do not hold your peace, and do not be still, O God! 2 For behold, your enemies make a tumult; and those who hate you have lifted up their head. 3 They have taken crafty counsel against your people, and consulted together against your sheltered ones. 4 They have said, “Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more.” 5 For they have consulted together with one consent; they form a confederacy against you: 6 The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab and the Hagarites; 7 Gebal, ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre; 8 Assyria also has joined with them; they have helped the children of Lot. Selah 9 Deal with them as with Midian, as with Sisera, as with Jabin at the Brook Kishon, 10 Who perished at Endor, who became as refuse on the earth. 11 Make their nobles like Oreb and like Zeeb, Yes, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna, 12 Who said, “Let us take for ourselves the pastures of God for a possession.” 13 O my God, make them like the whirling dust, like the chaff before the wind! 14 As the fire burns the woods, and as the flame sets the mountains on fire, 15 So pursue them with your tempest, and frighten them with your storm. 16 Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek your name, O LORD. 17 Let them be confounded and dismayed forever; yes, let them be put to shame and perish, 18 That men may know that you, whose name alone is the LORD, are the Most High over all the earth.

84

How lovely is your tabernacle, O LORD of hosts! 2 My soul longs, yes, even faints For the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God. 3 Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young–Even your altars, O LORD of hosts, my King and my God.

Bog se diœe u zajednici Boœjoj, drœi sud usred bogova: 2 “Dokle øete suditi nepravedno i zauzimati se za bezboœnike! 3 Sudite pravo ubogima, sirotama, siromahe, potlaçene opravdajte! 4 Izbavljajte ubogoga, slaboga, oslobodite ih iz ruke bezboœnika!” 5 Ali oni ne gledaju na to, ne uviåaju to, tumaraju dalje po tmini: tresu se svi temelji zemlje. 6 Rekao sam: “Vi ste bogovi, vi ste svi sinovi Sveviænjega. 7 Ali morate umrijeti kao ljudi, morate pasti kao jedan od glavara!” 8 O Boœe, digni se i sudi zemlji, jer svima narodima ti si gospodar!

Will you prolong your anger to all generations? 6 Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you? 7 Show us your mercy, O LORD, and grant us your salvation. 8 I will hear what God the LORD will speak, for he will speak peace to his people and to his saints; but let them not turn back to folly. 9 Surely his salvation is near to those who fear him, that glory may dwell in our land. 10 Mercy and truth have met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other. 11 Truth shall spring out of the earth, and righteousness shall look down from heaven. 12 Yes, the LORD will give what is good; and our land will yield its increase. 13 Righteousness will go before him, and shall make his footsteps our pathway.

Pomilovao si svoju zemlju, Gospodine, okrenuo si sudbinu Jakovljevu. 2 Oduzeo si krivnju zlodjela svojem narodu, pokrio si sve njihove grijehe. 3 Povukao si svu svoju jarost i ublaœio œestinu svojega gnjeva. 4 Popravi nas opet, o Boœe, Spasitelju naæ, odvrati srdœbu svoju od nas. 5 Zar øeæ se zauvijek srditi na nas, protegnuti svoj gnjev svim naraætajima? 6 Zar nas neøeæ iznova oœivjeti, da se tvoj narod raduje tebi? 7 Daj nam, o Gospodine, da gledamo milost tvoju, spasenje svoje daj nam! 8 Da bih ipak çuo æto je Bog, Gospodin, obeøao! On govori o miru za svoj narod i za poboœne svoje, samo neka oni nikada ne rade bezumno. 9 Njegovo spasenje, zaista, blizu je onih koji ga se boje; naæu zemlju zapast øe sjajna sreøa. 10 Onda øe se milost i vjernost sresti; onda øe se pravda i mir poljubiti. 11 Vjernost øe niknuti iz zemlje, pravednost øe gledati s neba. 12 Gospodin øe zaista dati dobro, i zemlja øe naæa dati plod svoj. 13 Pravednost øe iøi pred njim i njegovi øe koraci trti naæu stazu.

Bow down your ear, O LORD, hear me; for I am poor and needy. 2 Preserve my life, for I am holy; you are my God; save your servant who trusts in you! 3 Be merciful to me, O LORD, for I cry to you all day long. 4 Rejoice the soul of your servant, for to you, O LORD, I lift up my soul. 5 For you, LORD, are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in mercy to all those who call upon you. 6 Give ear, O LORD, to my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications. 7 In the day of my trouble I will call upon you, for you will answer me. 8 Among the gods there is none like you, O LORD; nor are there any works like your works. 9 All nations whom you have made Shall come and worship before you, O LORD, and shall glorify your

His foundation is in the holy mountains. 2 The LORD loves the gates of Zion More than all the dwellings of Jacob. 3 Glorious things are spoken of you, o city of God! Selah 4 I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to those who know me; behold, o Philistia and Tyre, with Ethiopia: ‘This one was born there.’ ” 5 And of Zion it will be said, “This one and that one were born in her; and the Most High himself shall establish her.” 6 The LORD will record, when he registers the peoples: “This one was born there.” Selah 7 Both the singers and the players on instruments say, “All my springs are in you.”

Njegov je temelj na gorama svetim. 2 To ljubi Gospodin: vrata Siona viæe nego sve stanove Jakovljeve. 3 Slavno se govori o tebi, grade Boœji: 4 “Rahab i Babilon nazivam svojim priznavateljima; gle, Filistejaca i Tir i Kuæ: ‘Ovaj i onaj se rodio ondje,’ ” 5 O Sionu øe se govoriti, taj se i taj rodio ondje; on sam, Sveviænji, utemeljio ga je. 6 Gospodin broji kad upisuje narode: “Ovaj se rodio ondje”. 7 A pjevaçi i sviraçi s glazbalima kliçu: “U tebi su svi izvori moji.”

O LORD, God of my salvation, I have cried out day and night before you. 2 Let my prayer come before you; incline your ear to my cry. 3 For my soul is full of troubles, and my life draws near to the grave. 4 I am counted with those who go down to the pit; I am like a man who has no strength, 5 Adrift among the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, whom you remember no more, and who are cut off from your hand. 6 You have laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the depths. 7 Your wrath lies heavy upon me, and you have afflicted me with all your waves. Selah 8 You have put away my acquaintances far from me; you have made me an abomination to them; I am shut up, and I cannot get out; 9 My eye wastes away because of affliction. LORD, I have called daily upon you; I have stretched out my hands to you. 10 Will you work wonders for the dead? Shall the dead arise and praise you? Selah 11 Shall your lovingkindness be declared in the grave? Or your faithfulness in the place of destruction? 12 Shall your wonders be known in the dark? And your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness? 13 But to you I have cried out, O LORD, and in the morning my prayer comes before you. 14 LORD, why do you cast off my soul? Why do you hide your face from me? 15 I have been afflicted and ready to die from my

Ustaju li sjene da te slave? 11 Zar se u grobu slavi dobrota tvoja, u carstvu mrtvih tvoja vjernost? 12 Hoøe li se u tmini objavljivati tvoja çudesa, tvoja pravednost u zemlji zaborava? 13 Ali ja, o Gospodine, vapijem tebi; veø u rano jutro penje se k tebi moja molitva. 14 Zaæto, Gospodine, odbacujeæ moju duæu i skrivaæ od mene svoje lice? 15 Muçim se i umirem od mladosti, podnosim strahote tvoje bez pomoøi.

I will sing of the mercies of the LORD forever; with my mouth will I make known your faithfulness to all generations. 2 For I have said, “Mercy shall be built up forever; your faithfulness you shall establish in the very heavens.” 3 I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn to my servant David: 4 Your seed I will establish forever, and build up your throne to all generations.’ ” Selah 5 And the heavens will praise your wonders, O LORD; your faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints. 6 For who in the heavens can be compared to the LORD? Who among the sons of the mighty can be likened to the LORD? 7 God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be held in reverence by all those who are around him. 8 O LORD God of hosts, who is mighty like you, O LORD? Your faithfulness also surrounds you. 9 You rule the raging of the sea; when its waves rise, you still them. 10 You have broken Rahab in pieces, as one who is slain; you have scattered your enemies with your mighty arm. 11 The heavens are yours, the earth also is yours; the world and all its fullness, you have founded them. 12 The north and the south, you have created them; Tabor and Hermon rejoice in your name. 13 You have a mighty arm; strong is your hand, and high is your right hand. 14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; mercy and truth go before your face. 15 Blessed are the people who know the joyful sound! They walk, O LORD, in the light of your countenance. 16 In your name they rejoice all day long, and in your righteousness they are exalted. 17 For you are the glory of their strength, and in your favor our horn is exalted. 18 For our shield belongs to the LORD, and our king to the Holy One of Israel. 19 Then you spoke in a vision to your holy one, and said: “I have given help to one who is mighty; I have exalted one chosen from the people. 20 I have found my servant David; with my holy oil I have anointed him, 21 With whom my hand shall be established; also my arm shall strengthen him. 22 The enemy shall not outwit him, nor the son of wickedness afflict him. 23 I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague those who hate him. 24 But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him, and in My name his horn shall be exalted. 25 Also I will set his hand over the sea, and his right hand over the rivers. 26 He shall cry to me, ‘You are my Father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.’ 27 Also I will make him my firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth. 28 My mercy I will keep for him forever, and my covenant shall stand firm with him.

LORD, you have been our dwelling place in all generations. 2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God. 3 You turn man to destruction, and say, “Return, o children of men.” 4 For a thousand years in your sight are like yesterday when it is past, and like a watch in the night. 5 You carry them away like a flood; they are like a sleep. In the morning they are like grass which grows up: 6 In the morning it flourishes and grows up; in the evening it is cut down and withers. 7 For we have been consumed by your anger, and by your wrath we are terrified. 8 You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your countenance. 9 For all our days have passed away in your wrath; we finish our years like a sigh.

Hvalospjev pouzdanje u Boga

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the LORD, he is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in him I will trust.” 3 Surely he shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence. 4 He shall cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you shall take refuge; his truth shall be your shield and buckler. 5 You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day, 6 Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. 7 A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you. 8 Only with your eyes shall you look, and see the reward of the wicked. 9 Because you have made the LORD, who is my refuge, even the Most High, your habitation, 10 No evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; 11 For he shall give his angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways. 12 They shall bear you up in their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone. 13 You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, the young lion and the dragon you shall trample under feet. 14 Because he has set his love upon me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name. 15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. 16 With long life I will satisfy him, and show him my salvation.

He who formed the eye, shall he not see? 10 He who instructs the nations, shall he not correct, he who teaches man knowledge? 11 The LORD knows the thoughts of man, that they are futile. 12 Blessed is the man whom you instruct, O LORD, and teach out of your law, 13 That you may give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit is dug for the wicked. 14 For the LORD will not cast off his people, nor will he forsake his inheritance. 15 But judgment will return to righteousness, and all the upright in heart will follow it. 16 Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity? 17 Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul would soon have settled in silence. 18 If I say, “My foot slips,” your mercy, O LORD, will hold me up. 19 In the multitude of my anxieties within me, your comforts delight my soul.

Bog branitelj svojega puka i svetiæta

Gospodin je kralj, odjenuo se u sjaj, zaodjeo se Gospodin u veliçanstvo, opasao se, tvrdo stoji svijet da se ne moœe poljuljati. 2 Tvrdo stoji od iskona tvoje prijestolje, ti si od vjeçnosti. 3 Podigle su rijeke, o Gospodine, podigle su rijeke svoj æum, podigle su rijeke svoj œamor. 4 Gospodin u visini je silniji nego glasovi silnih voda, uzviæeniji nego buçno more. 5 Posve je pouzdana rijeç obeøanja tvojega; svetost je ures u tvojoj kuøi, o Gospodine, zauvijek!

Pravedni platac

O Gospodine Boœe osvete, O Boœe osvete, sijevni! 2 Digni se, suçe zemlje, naplati oholima njihova djela! 3 Dokle øe se bezboœnici, Gospodine, dokle øe se joæ bezboœnici hvaliti? 4 Oni se pjene i drzovito govore; svi se zloçinci nadimaju. 5 Gaze tvoj narod, o Gospodine, pritiæçu tvoju baætinu. 6 Ubijaju udovicu i doæljaka, sirote dave. 7 Pritom misle: “Gospodin to ne vidi, Bog Jakovljev ne opaœa to nikada.” 8 Opametite se, bezumni u narodu, luåaci, kad øete doøi do razboritosti? 9 Koji je stvorio uho, zar taj da ne çuje; koji je napravio oko, zar taj da ne vidi? 10 Koji kaœnjava narode, zar taj da ne kazni; on koji uçi ljude znanju? 11 Gospodin zna misli ljudi–one su samo para. 12 Blagoslovljen je çovjek koga ti, o Gospodine, odgajaæ i u svojem zakonu pouçavaæ: 13 da mu dadeæ mir u zle dane, dok se kopa grob bezboœniku. 14 Jer neøe odbaciti Gospodin svojega naroda i svoje baætine neøe ostaviti. 15 Jer pravednost dolazi opet do svojega prava, da je slijede koji su çestita srca. 16 Tko øe ustati za mene protiv zlih? Tko øe stajati uza me protiv zlikovaca? 17 Kad mi Gospodin ne bi bio pomoønik, leœala bi moja duæa odavno u tiæini. 18 Kad god pomislim: “Posrøe mi noga”, uzdrœi me, o Gospodine, tvoja milost. 19 U svim brigama mojega srca utjeha mi tvoja opet razveseli duæu. 20 Stoji li uza te prijestolje zloøe, koji na temelju

Oh come, let us sing to the LORD! Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation. 2 Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving; let us shout joyfully to him with psalms. 3 For the LORD is the great God, and the great King above all gods. 4 In his hand are the deep places of the earth; the heights of the hills are his also. 5 The sea is his, for he made it; and his hands formed the dry land. 6 Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the LORD our Maker. 7 For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. Today, if you will hear his voice: 8 Do not harden your hearts, as in the rebellion, and as in the day of trial in the wilderness, 9 When your fathers tested me; they proved me, though they saw my work. 10 For forty years I was grieved with that generation, and said, ‘It is a people who go astray in their hearts, and they do not know my ways.’ 11 So I swore in my wrath, ‘They shall not enter my rest.’ ” Oh, sing to the LORD a new song! Sing to the LORD, all the earth. 2 Sing to the LORD, bless his name; proclaim the good news of his salvation from day to day. 3 Declare his glory among the nations, his wonders among all peoples. 4 For the LORD is great and greatly to be praised; he is to be feared above all gods. 5 For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but the LORD made the heavens. 6 Honor and majesty are before him; strength and beauty are in his sanctuary. 7 Give to the LORD, o kindreds of the peoples, give to the LORD glory and strength. 8 Give to the LORD the glory due his name; bring an offering, and come into his courts. 9 Oh, worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness! Tremble before him, all the earth. 10 Say among the nations, “The LORD reigns; the world also is firmly established, it shall not be moved; he shall judge the peoples righteously.” 11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and all its fullness; 12 Let the field be joyful, and all that is in it. Then all the trees of the woods will rejoice before the LORD. 13 For he is coming, for he is coming to judge the earth. He shall judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with his truth.

Poziv na posluænost Gospodinu i kralju Izraelovu

Doåite, kliçimo Gospodinu, uzvikujmo pomoøniku, naæem Bogu! 2 Stupimo pred njegovo lice s hvalom, u pjesmama njemu kliçimo! 3 Jer je Gospodin velik Bog, kralj veøi od svih bogova. 4 U njegovoj su ruci temelji zemaljski, vrhunci gorski njegovi su. 5 Njegovo je more, On ga je stvorio i kopno koje su njegove ruke naçinile. 6 Hajdemo se klanjati i padnimo niçice; kleknimo pred Gospodinom, koji nas je stvorio! 7 Jer je on naæ Bog, a mi smo narod kojega on pase, ovce paæe njegove. I danas, o, da biste ipak posluæali njegov glas! 8 Nemojte da otvrdne vaæe srce kao u Meribi, kao u pustinji u dan Mase, 9 gdje su me vaæi oçevi iskuæali i ispitali, a vidjeli su ipak moja djela. 10 Çetrdeset godina bilo mi je muçno pred tim rodom i rekao sam: “Oni su narod komu luta srce, jer ne paze na moje putove.” 11 Zato sam se zakleo pun gnjeva: “Neøe uøi u mjesto pokoja mojega!” Misijska pjesma Staroga zavjeta

Oh, sing to the LORD a new song! For he has done marvelous things; his right hand and his holy arm have gained him the victory. 2 The LORD has made known his salvation; his righteousness he has openly shown in the sight of the nations. 3 He has remembered his mercy and his faithfulness to the house of Israel; all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. 4 Shout joyfully to the LORD, all the earth; break forth in song, rejoice, and sing praises. 5 Sing to the LORD with the harp, with the harp and the sound of a psalm, 6 With trumpets and the sound of a horn; shout joyfully before the LORD, the King. 7 Let the sea roar, and all its fullness, the world and those who dwell in it; 8 Let the rivers clap their hands; let the hills be joyful together before the LORD, 9 For he is coming to judge the earth. With righteousness he shall judge the world, and the peoples with equity.

99

The LORD reigns; let the peoples tremble! He dwells between the cherubim; let the earth be moved! 2 The LORD is great in Zion, and he is high above all the peoples. 3 Let them praise your great and awesome name– He is holy. 4 The King’s strength also loves justice; you have established equity; you have executed justice and righteousness in Jacob. 5 Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool; for he is holy. 6 Moses and Aaron were among his priests, and Samuel was among those who called upon his name; they called upon the LORD, and he answered them. 7 He spoke to them in the cloudy pillar; they kept his testimonies and the ordinance that he gave them. 8 You answered them, O LORD our God; you were to them God-Who-Forgives, though you took vengeance on their deeds. 9 Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the LORD our God is holy.

Make a joyful shout to the LORD, all you

I will sing of mercy and justice; to you, O LORD, I will sing praises. 2 I will behave wisely in a perfect way. Oh, when will you come to me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart. 3 I will set nothing wicked before my eyes; I hate the work of those who fall away; it shall not cling to me. 4 A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will not know wickedness. 5 Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor, him I will destroy; the one who has a haughty look and a proud heart, him I will not endure. 6 My eyes shall be on the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; he who walks in a perfect way, he shall serve me. 7 He who works deceit shall not dwell within my house; he who tells lies shall not continue in my presence. 8 Early I will destroy all the wicked of the land, that I may cut off all the evildoers from the city of the LORD.

102

Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come to you. 2 Do not hide your face from me in the day of my trouble; incline your ear to me; in the day that I call, answer me speedily. 3 For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned like a hearth. 4 My heart is stricken and withered like grass, so that I forget to eat my bread. 5 Because of the sound of my groaning my bones cling to my skin. 6 I am like a pelican of the wilderness; I am like an owl of the desert. 7 I lie awake, and am like a sparrow alone on the housetop. 8 My enemies reproach me all day long, and those who deride me swear an oath against me. 9 For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping, 10 Because of your indignation and your wrath; for you have lifted me up and cast me away. 11 My days are like a shadow that lengthens, and I wither away like grass. 12 But you, O LORD, shall endure forever, and the remembrance of your name to all generations. 13 You will arise and have mercy on Zion; for the time to favor her, Yes, the set time, has come. 14 For your servants take pleasure in her stones, and show favor to her dust. 15 So the nations shall fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth your glory. 16 For the LORD shall build up Zion; he shall appear in his glory. 17 He shall regard the prayer of the destitute, and

Moja duæo, slavi Gospodina, i sve æto je u meni, njegovo sveto Ime! 2 Moja duæo, slavi Gospodina i ne zaboravljaj nijednoga njegova dobroçinstva! 3 On je koji ti opraæta sva zlodjela, koji ozdravlja sve bolesti tvoje, 4 koji çuva od propasti œivot i tvoj, koji te kruni miloæøu i milosråem, 5 koji nasiti tvoju duæu dobrima, da se ob novi mladost tvoja kao u orla. 6 Gospodin çini pravednost i pravicu daje svima potlaçenima. 7 Svoje putove pokazao Mojsiju, svoja djela djeci Izraelovoj. 8 Gospodin je milosrdan i milostiv, strpljiv i bogat ljubavlju. 9 Zato se ne gnjevi zauvijek, niti se zauvijek srdi. 10 Ne postupa s nama po naæim grijesima, niti nam vraøa po naæim zlodjelima. 11 Jer koliko su nebesa visoko nad zemljom, tolika je njegova ljubav prema njegovim pravednicima. 12 Koliko je istok daleko od zapada, toliko on udaljuje od nas naæe grijehe. 13 Kao æto se otac smiluje svojoj djeci, tako se smiluje Gospodin svojim pravednicima. 14 Jer zna kakve smo mi graåe, sjeøa se da smo samo prah. 15 Çovjek: kao trava, tako su njegovi dani, kao cvijet u polju, tako cvjeta. 16 Duhne vjetar na njega i nestane ga, i ne zna viæe mjesta gdje je stajao. 17 A milosråe Gospodinovo ostaje uvijek i vjeçno na onima koji ga se boje; i njegova dobrota na sinovima sinova, 18 koji drœe njegov zavjet i briœno ispunjaju njegove zapovijedi. 19 Prijestolje svoje postavio Gospodin na nebu, vlast njegova proteœe se na sve. 20 Blagoslivljajte Gospodina, svi njegovi anåeli, junaci puni snage, izvræitelji njegove rijeçi, koji sluæate silni njegov glas! 21 Blagoslivljajte Gospodina sve njegove vo-

O LORD my God, you are very great: You are clothed with honor and majesty, 2 Who cover yourself with light as with a garment, who stretch out the heavens like a curtain. 3 He lays the beams of his upper chambers in the waters, who makes the clouds his chariot, who walks on the wings of the wind, 4 who makes his angels spirits, his ministers a flame of fire. 5 You who laid the foundations of the earth, so that it should not be moved forever, 6 You covered it with the deep as with a garment; the waters stood above the mountains. 7 At your rebuke they fled; at the voice of your thunder they hastened away. 8 They went up over the mountains; they went down into the valleys, to the place which you founded for them. 9 You have set a boundary that they may not pass over, that they may not return to cover the earth. 10 He sends the springs into the valleys, which flow among the hills. 11 They give drink to every beast of the field; the wild donkeys quench their thirst. 12 By them the birds of the heavens have their habitation; they sing among the branches. 13 He waters the hills from his upper chambers; the earth is satisfied with the fruit of your works. 14 He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, and vegetation for the service of man, that he may bring forth food from the earth, 15 And wine that makes glad the heart of man, oil to make his face shine, and bread which strengthens man’s heart. 16 The trees of the LORD are full of sap, the cedars of Lebanon which he planted, 17 Where the birds make their nests; the stork has her home in the fir trees. 18 The high hills are for the wild goats; the cliffs are a refuge for the rock badgers. 19 He appointed the moon for seasons; the sun knows its going down. 20 You make darkness, and it is night, in which all the beasts of the forest creep about. 21 The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their food from God. 22 When the sun arises, they gather together and lie down in their dens. 23 Man goes out to his work and to his labor until the evening. 24 O LORD, how manifold are your works! In wisdom you have made them all. The earth is full of your possessions– 25 This great and wide sea, in which are innumerable teeming things, living things both small and great. 26 There the ships sail about; and there is that Leviathan which you have made to play there. 27 These all wait for you, that you may give them their food in due season. 28 What you give them they gather in; you open your hand, they are filled with good. 29 You hide your face, they are troubled; you take away their breath, they die and return to their dust. 30 You send forth your Spirit, they are created; and you renew the face of the earth. 31 May the glory of the LORD endure forever; may the

Moja duæo blagoslivljaj Gospodina. Veoma si velik, Gospodine, moj Boœe; odjenuo si se u sjaj i veliçanstvo! 2 Zaogrnuo si se svjetloæøu kao ogrtaçem, drœiæ nebesa razapeta kao æator. 3 Grede svojih dvorova u vodu si uzidao, oblaci su tvoja kola, æumiæ na krilima vihora. 4 Uçinio si vjetrove svojim anåelima i ognjene plamenove svojim slugama. 5 Postavio si zemlju na temelje njezine, tako da se ne moœe poljuljati. 6 Bezdan ju je pokrio kao haljina; na gorama su stajale vode. 7 A od tvoje prijetnje bjeœale su i uzmicale od tvojega gromkog glasa. 8 Uzdigle se gore, spustile se doline u mjesto æto si im ga odredio. 9 Tako si postavio meåe koje nikada ne prelaze; ne smiju opet pokriti zemlju. 10 Izveo si izvore po dolinama, oni teku izmeåu gora. 11 Napajaju sve poljske zvijeri, divlji magarci gase iz njih svoju œeåu. 12 Na njima prebivaju nebeske ptice, s grana se razlijeœe njihovo pjevanje. 13 Napajaæ gore iz svojih dvorova, plodom se tvojih djela siti zemlja. 14 Dajeæ da raste trava stoci i bilje na korist çovjeku, da izvedeæ kruh iz zemlje, 15 i vino koje veseli çovjeçje srce, i ulje koje mu çini lice sjajnim, i kruh koji oœivljuje snagu çovjeku. 16 Onda se napoje najveøa stabla, lebanonski cedri koje je on zasadio. 17 Na njima ptice viju gnijezda, roda gradi gnijezdo svoje na çempresima. 18 Gore visoke pripadaju divokozama, æpilje su zaklon jazavcima. 19 Stvorio mjesec da pokazuje vremena, sunce poznaje mjesto zapada svojega. 20 Prostireæ tminu i bude noø; onda se miçe sva zvjerad æumska. 21 Laviøi viçu za plijenom i traœe od Boga hrane sebi. 22 Sunce iziåe i oni se povlaçe i lijeœu u svoje æpilje. 23 Onda ide çovjek na svoj posao do veçeri. 24 Kako je mnogo tvojih djela, o Gospodine! Sva si mudro stvorio; puna je zemlja blaga tvojega. 25 Tu je more, tako veliko, na obje strane tako daleko: u njemu vrve bez broja œivotinje, sitne i velike. 26 Ondje laåe plove, Levijatan kojega si stvorio, da se igra po njemu. 27 Svi tebe çekaju da ih nahraniæ na vrijeme. 28 Pokupe æto im dajeæ; kad otvaraæ ruku, nasite se dobra. 29 A odvratiæ li svoje lice, prestraæe se; uzmeæ li im dah, poginu i vraøaju se opet u prah. 30 Kad poæaljeæ svoj duh, stvaraju se; tako obnavljaæ lice zemlje. 31 Neka uvijek traje slava Gospodinova! Gospodin se veseli u svojim djelima. 32 On pogleda na zemlju, i ona se trese; on se dotakne gora, i one se dime.

-688Psalms Psalmi 33 Pjevat øu Gospodinu dok sam œiv, slavit øu LORD rejoice in his works. 32 He looks on the earth, and it trembles; he touches Gospodina svojega dokle god postojim. 34 Neka mu se svidi moja pjesma! Ja, ja se vesthe hills, and they smoke. 33 I will sing to the LORD as long as I live; I will sing elim u Gospodinu. 35 Ah, da bi nestalo grjeænika sa zemlje i da ne praise to my God while I have my being. 34 May my meditation be sweet to him; I will be glad bi ostali na œivotu bezboœnici! A ti, moja duæo, slavi Gospodina! Slava Gospodinu! in the LORD. 35 May sinners be consumed from the earth, and the wicked be no more. Bless the LORD, o my soul! Praise the LORD!

Oh, give thanks to the LORD! Call upon his name; make known his deeds among the peoples. 2 Sing to him, sing psalms to him; talk of all his wondrous works. 3 Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those rejoice who seek the LORD. 4 Seek the LORD and his strength; seek his face evermore. 5 Remember his marvelous works which he has done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth, 6 O seed of Abraham his servant, you children of Jacob, his chosen ones! 7 He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth. 8 He has remembered his covenant forever, the word which he commanded, for a thousand generations, 9 The covenant which he made with Abraham, and his oath to Isaac, 10 And confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, to Israel for an everlasting covenant, 11 Saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan as the allotment of your inheritance,” 12 When they were but few in number, indeed very few, and strangers in it. 13 When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people, 14 He permitted no one to do them wrong; yes, he reproved kings for their sakes, 15 Saying, “Do not touch my anointed ones, and do my prophets no harm.” 16 Moreover he called for a famine in the land; he destroyed all the provision of bread. 17 He sent a man before them–Joseph–who was sold as a slave. 18 They hurt his feet with fetters, he was laid in irons. 19 Until the time that his word came to pass, the word of the LORD tested him. 20 The king sent and released him, the ruler of the people let him go free. 21 He made him LORD of his house, and ruler of all his possessions, 22 To bind his princes at his pleasure, and teach his elders wisdom. 23 Israel also came into Egypt, and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham. 24 And he increased his people greatly, and made them stronger than their enemies. 25 He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal craftily with his servants. 26 He sent Moses his servant, and Aaron whom he had chosen. 27 They performed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham. 28 He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they did not rebel against his word. 29 He turned their waters into blood, and killed their fish. 30 Their land abounded with frogs, even in the chambers of their kings. 31 He spoke, and there came swarms of flies, and

Hvalite Gospodina, zazivajte Ime njegovo, razglaæujte narodima njegova

djela! 2 Pjevajte mu, slavite ga, govorite sva njegova çudesa! 3 Hvalite se svetim imenom njegovim, neka se veseli srce onih koji traœe Gospodina! 4 Traœite Gospodina i njegovu moø, traœite uvijek njegovo lice! 5 Sjeøajte se çudesa njegovih koja je uçinio, znamenja njegovih, presuda njegovih usta! 6 Vi, potomstvo njegova sluge Abrahama, vi, sinovi Jakova, njegova izabranika! 7 On, Gospodin, nama je Bog, u sav svijet idu njegove presude. 8 Sjeøa se uvijek svojega zavjeta, rijeçi koju je dao za tisuøu koljena, 9 Zavjeta koji je napravio s Abrahamom i zakletve svoje Izaku. 10 To je postavio Jakovu za zakon, Izraelu za vjeçni zavjet, 11 govoreøi: “Kanaan øu ti dati kao vaæu odreåenu baætinu!” 12 Onda vas je joæ bilo malo na broj, samo malo, i to doæljaci. 13 Joæ su iæli onda od naroda do naroda, od jednoga kraljevstva do drugoga. 14 Ali nije dao nikomu da im naudi; same je kraljeve karao zbog njih: 15 “Ne dirajte u pomazanike moje, prorocima mojim ne çinite niæta na œao!” 16 Pusti onda glad na zemlju; razbij svaku potporu kruha. 17 Ali je poslao pred njima çovjeka: za roba prodan bio je Josip. 18 Okovima su stegnuli njegove noge i stavili ga u œeljezo. 19 Do vremena kad se ispuni njegova rijeç, rijeç Gospodinova saçuva ga. 20 Onda poslao kralj i pusti ga, gospodar nad narodima, i oslobodi ga. 21 Postavio ga gospodarom nad svojom kuøom, upraviteljem svega imanja svojega; 22 da vlada nad njegovim glavarima po volji, da starjeæine njegove uçi mudrosti. 23 Tako je doæao Izrael u Egipat i Jakov je postao gost u zemlji Kamovoj. 24 I namnoœi svoj narod veoma, uçinio ga jaçim od njegovih tlaçitelja. 25 Prevrnuo njihovo srce, te su zamrzili njegov narod, i çinili su lukavstvo njegovim slugama. 26 Onda je poslao Mojsija, svojega slugu, i Arona, svojega izabranika. 27 Oni su pokazali meåu njima njegova çudesna znamenja i strahovita djela u zemlji Kamovoj. 28 Poslao mrak i zamraçio je, a oni su joæ prkosili njegovoj zapovijedi. 29 Pretvorio njihovu vodu u krv i pomori njihovu ribu.

-689Psalms Psalmi 30 Provrela je njihova zemlja œabama sve do lice in all their territory. 32 He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their unutra u odaje kraljeve. 31 Zapovjedio je i doæli su obadi, komarci po land. 33 He struck their vines also, and their fig trees, and svim njihovim krajevima. 32 Mjesto kiæe poslao na njih tuçu, œivi oganj na splintered the trees of their territory. 34 He spoke, and locusts came, young locusts with- njihovu zemlju. 33 Pobio lozu njihovu i smokve njihove, poloout number, 35 And ate up all the vegetation in their land, and de- mio stabla u krajevima njihovim. 34 Zapovjedio i doæli su skakavci i gusjenice voured the fruit of their ground. 36 He also destroyed all the firstborn in their land, the nebrojene. 35 I izjeli su svu travu po zemlji, pojeli rod u first of all their strength. 37 He also brought them out with silver and gold, and poljima njihovim. 36 Onda pobio sve prvoroåence u zemlji, prthere was none feeble among his tribes. 38 Egypt was glad when they departed, for the fear vine svega truda njihova. 37 Izveo ih sa srebrom i zlatom i nije bilo of them had fallen upon them. 39 He spread a cloud for a covering, and fire to give umorna u njihovim plemenima. 38 Egipat se obradovao njihovu izlasku, jer light in the night. 40 The people asked, and he brought quail, and sat- strah od njih bio ih spopao. 39 Razastro im oblak kao zaætitu i oganj da sviisfied them with the bread of heaven. 41 He opened the rock, and water gushed out; it ran jetli noøu. 40 Narod zamolio, i On zapovjedio da doåu in the dry places like a river. 42 For he remembered his holy promise, and Abra- prepelice i nasitio ih kruhom s neba. 41 On otvorio hridinu i potekla voda, protekla ham his servant. 43 He brought out his people with joy, his chosen kao rijeka kroz pustinju. 42 Jer se spominjao svete svoje rijeçi Abrahaones with gladness. 44 He gave them the lands of the Gentiles, and they mu, svojem sluzi. 43 Izveo svoj narod s radoæøu, izabrane svoje u inherited the labor of the nations, 45 That they might observe his statutes and keep his veselju. 44 Darova im zemlje naroda; oni su uzeli æto su laws. Praise the LORD! stekli narodi, 45 da bi çuvali njegove zapovijedi i drœali se zakona njegovih. Slava Gospodinu! Slava Gospodinu!

forever. 2 Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? Or can declare all his praise? 3 Blessed are those who keep justice, and he who does righteousness at all times! 4 Remember me, O LORD, with the favor you have toward your people; oh, visit me with your salvation, 5 That I may see the benefit of your chosen ones, that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation, that I may glory with your inheritance. 6 We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly. 7 Our fathers in Egypt did not understand your wonders; they did not remember the multitude of your mercies, but rebelled by the sea–the Red Sea. 8 Nevertheless he saved them for his name’s sake, that he might make his mighty power known. 9 He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it dried up; so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness. 10 He saved them from the hand of him who hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy. 11 The waters covered their enemies; there was not one of them left. 12 Then they believed his words; they sang his praise. 13 They soon forgot his works; they did not wait for his counsel, 14 But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tested God in the desert. 15 And he gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul. 16 When they envied Moses in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the LORD, 17 The earth opened up and swallowed Dathan, and

Hvalite Gospodina jer je dobar; jest, vjeçno traje njegovo milosråe. 2 Tko moœe opisati velika djela Gospodinova, iskazati svu njegovu slavu? 3 Blagoslovljeni su oni koji se tvrdo drœe pravde i uvijek çine ono æto je pravo! 4 Spomeni me se, o Gospodine, po milosti prema svojem narodu, po svom djelu spasenja pohodi i mene! 5 Da mogu joæ doœivjeti sreøu tvojih izabranika, veseliti se u veselju tvojega naroda i hvaliti se joæ s tvojima. 6 Grijeæili smo sa svojim oçevima, poçinili smo bezakonje i çinili zlodjela. 7 Veø naæi oçevi u Egiptu nisu pazili na tvoja çudesa, nisu se spominjali tvojih velikih milosti i bunili su se na moru, na Crvenom moru. 8 A on im je pomogao zbog svojega Imena, da oçituje svoju jakost. 9 Zaprijetio Crvenom moru i presahnulo je i preveo ih preko morske dubine kao preko pustinje. 10 Tako ih spasi iz ruke mrzitelja, izbavi ih iz ruke neprijatelja. 11 Pokri voda tlaçitelje njihove, ni jedan od njih nije ostao. 12 Onda napokon su povjerovali njegovim rijeçima i zapjevali njegovu slavu. 13 Ali su brzo zaboravili æto je uçinio; odluku njegovu nisu çekali nikada. 14 Polakomili se u pustinji i poçeli su kuæati Boga u pustoj zemlji. 15 I On im ispuni œelju njihovu, ali onda poslao na njih suæicu. 16 I pobunili se u taboru protiv Mojsija i protiv Arona, koji je bio posveøen Gospodinu.

O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory. 2 Awake, lute and harp! I will awaken the dawn. 3 I will praise you, O LORD, among the peoples, and I will sing praises to you among the nations. 4 For your mercy is great above the heavens, and your truth reaches to the clouds. 5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens, and your glory above all the earth; 6 That your beloved may be delivered, save with your right hand, and hear me. 7 God has spoken in his holiness: “I will rejoice; I will divide Shechem and measure out the Valley of Succoth. 8 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the helmet for my head; Judah is my lawgiver. 9 Moab is my washpot; over Edom I will cast my shoe; over Philistia I will triumph.” 10 Who will bring me into the strong city? Who will lead me to Edom? 11 Is it not you, O God, who cast us off? And you, O God, who did not go out with our armies? 12 Give us help from trouble, for vain is the help of man. 13 Through God we will do valiantly, for it is he who shall tread down our enemies.

Do not keep silent, O God of my praise! 2 For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful Have opened against me; they have spoken against me with a lying tongue. 3 They have also surrounded me with words of hatred, and fought against me without a cause. 4 In return for my love they are my accusers, but I give myself to prayer. 5 Thus they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love. 6 Set a wicked man over him, and let an accuser stand at his right hand. 7 When he is judged, let him be found guilty, and let his prayer become sin. 8 Let his days be few, and let another take his office. 9 Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow. 10 Let his children continually be vagabonds, and beg; let them seek their bread also from their desolate places. 11 Let the creditor seize all that he has, and let strangers plunder his labor. 12 Let there be none to extend mercy to him, nor let there be any to favor his fatherless children. 13 Let his posterity be cut off, and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.

Rule in the midst of your enemies! 3 Your people shall be volunteers In the day of your power; in the beauties of holiness, from the womb of the morning, you have the dew of your youth. 4 The LORD has sworn and will not relent, “You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.” 5 The LORD is at your right hand; he shall execute kings in the day of his wrath. 6 He shall judge among the nations, he shall fill the places with dead bodies, he shall execute the heads of many countries. 7 He shall drink of the brook by the wayside; therefore he shall lift up the head.

Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who delights greatly in his commandments. 2 His descendants will be mighty on earth; the generation of the upright will be blessed. 3 Wealth and riches will be in his house, and his righteousness endures forever. 4 Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness; He is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous. 5 A good man deals graciously and lends; he will guide his affairs with discretion. 6 Surely he will never be shaken; the righteous will be in everlasting remembrance. 7 He will not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD. 8 His heart is established; he will not be afraid, until he sees his desire upon his enemies. 9 He has dispersed abroad, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his horn will be exalted with honor. 10 The wicked will see it and be grieved; he will gnash his teeth and melt away; the desire of the wicked shall perish.

Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but to your name give glory, because of your mercy, and because of your truth. 2 Why should the Gentiles say, “ “Where now is their God?” 3 But our God is in heaven; he does whatever he pleases. 4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands. 5 They have mouths, but they do not speak; eyes they have, but they do not see; 6 They have ears, but they do not hear; noses they have, but they do not smell; 7 They have hands, but they do not handle; feet they have, but they do not walk; nor do they mutter through their throat. 8 Those who make them are like them; so is everyone who trusts in them. 9 O Israel, trust in the LORD; he is their help and their shield. 10 O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD; he is their help and their shield. 11 You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD; he is their help and their shield. 12 The LORD has been mindful of us; he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron. 13 He will bless those who fear the LORD, both small and great. 14 May the LORD give you increase more and more, you and your children. 15 May you be blessed by the LORD, who made heaven and earth. 16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s; but the earth he has given to the children of men. 17 The dead do not praise the LORD, nor any who go down into silence. 18 But we will bless the LORD From this time forth and forevermore. Praise the LORD!

116

I love the LORD, because he has heard my voice and my supplications. 2 Because he has inclined his ear to me, therefore I will call upon him as long as I live. 3 The pains of death encompassed me, and the pangs of Sheol laid hold of me; I found trouble and sorrow. 4 Then I called upon the name of the LORD: “O LORD, I implore you, deliver my soul!” 5 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yes, our God is merciful. 6 The LORD preserves the simple; I was brought low, and he saved me. 7 Return to your rest, o my soul, for the LORD has dealt bountifully with you. 8 For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. 9 I will walk before the LORD In the land of the living. 10 I believed, therefore I spoke, “I am greatly afflicted.” 11 I said in my haste, “All men are liars.” 12 What shall I render to the LORD For all his benefits toward me?

Bog i niætavi idoli

Ne nama, o Gospodine, ne nama, nego svojem Imenu daj slavu, zbog svoje milosti, zbog vjernosti svoje! 2 Zaæto da govore narodi: “Gdje je njihov Bog?” 3 Bog je naæ u nebu; çini sve æto hoøe. 4 A idoli su njihovi srebro i zlato, djelo ruku çovjeçjih. 5 Usta imaju, a ne mogu govoriti, dva oka, a ne mogu vidjeti, 6 dva uha, a ne mogu çuti, nos, a ne mogu mirisati, 7 ruke, a ne mogu hvatati, noge, a ne mogu hodati–ne puætaju glasa iz svojega grla. 8 Koji su ih naçinili, neka postanu kao oni, svaki koji se pouzdao u njih! 9 Izraele, uzdaj se u Gospodina–on im je pomoønik i zaætitnik! 10 Kuøo Aronova, uzdaj se u Gospodina; on im je pomoønik i zaætitnik! 11 Vi koji se bojite Gospodina, uzdajte se u Gospodina; on je njihov pomoønik i zaætitnik! 12 Gospodin se nas spomenuo–on øe blagosloviti, blagoslovit øe kuøu Aronovu, 13 blagoslovit øe one koji se boje Gospodina, male i velike. 14 Neka vas umnoœi Gospodin, vas i vaæu djecu! 15 Neka ste blagoslovljeni od Gospodina, koji stvorio nebo i zemlju! 16 Nebo i nebesa su Gospodinova, a zemlju je dao ljudima. 17 Ne slave mrtvi Gospodina, niti oni koji su otiæli u tiæinu. 18 Ali mi øemo slaviti Gospodina od sada i zauvijek.

Ljubim Gospodina, jer usliæa vapaj molitve moje. 2 Jer prignu k meni svoje uho i zato øu ga zazivati dok œivim. 3 Bili su me stegnuli okovi smrti, spopale me tjeskobe svijeta mrtvih, bio sam upao u tugu i muku. 4 Onda sam prizvao Ime Gospodinovo: “Ah, Gospodine, spasi moj œivot!” 5 Milostiv je Gospodin i pravedan; Bog je naæ milosrdan. 6 Çuva malene Gospodin–bijedan sam bio, tada mi je on pomogao. 7 Vrati se, moja duæo, u svoj mir, jer ti Gospodin uçini dobro! 8 Ti si saçuvao moj œivot od smrti, moje oko od suza, moju nogu od pada. 9 Hodam pred Gospodinom u zemlji œivih. 10 Pun vjere rekao sam: “Nevolja me pritisla!” 11 Pomislio sam u tjeskobi svojoj: “Svaki je çovjek laœljivac.” 12 Kako da vratim Gospodinu za sve dobro æto mi uçini? 13 Çaæu spasenja uzet øu i slaviti Ime Gospodinovo,

Zahvalna pjesma za spasenje od neprijatelja

Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for he is good! Because his mercy endures forever. 2 Let Israel now say, “His mercy endures forever.” 3 Let the house of Aaron now say, “His mercy endures forever.” 4 Let those who fear the LORD now say, “His mercy endures forever.” 5 I called on the LORD in distress; the LORD answered me and set me in a broad place. 6 The LORD is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me? 7 The LORD is for me among those who help me; therefore I shall see my desire on those who hate me. 8 It is better to trust in the LORD Than to put confidence in man. 9 It is better to trust in the LORD Than to put confidence in princes. 10 All nations surrounded me, but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. 11 They surrounded me, Yes, they surrounded me; but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. 12 They surrounded me like bees; they were quenched like a fire of thorns; for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. 13 You pushed me violently, that I might fall, but the LORD helped me. 14 The LORD is my strength and song, and he has become my salvation. 15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation Is in the tents of the righteous; the right hand of the LORD does valiantly. 16 The right hand of the LORD is exalted; the right hand of the LORD does valiantly. 17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD. 18 The LORD has chastened me severely, but he has not given me over to death. 19 Open to me the gates of righteousness; I will go through them, and I will praise the LORD. 20 This is the gate of the LORD, through which the righteous shall enter. 21 I will praise you, for you have answered me, and have become my salvation. 22 The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone. 23 This was the Lord’s doing; it is marvelous in our eyes. 24 This is the day which the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. 25 Save now, I pray, O LORD; O LORD, I pray, send now

O, hvalite Gospodina, jer je dobar, jer vjeçno traje njegovo milosråe. 2 Neka pjeva Izrael: “Vjeçno traje njegovo milosråe.” 3 Neka pjeva kuøa Aronova: “Vjeçno traje njegovo milosråe.” 4 Neka pjevaju svi koji se boje Gospodina: “Vjeçno traje njegovo milosråe.” 5 Kad povikao sam u tjeskobi: Gospodine, usliæa me Gospodin, te postao sam slobodan. 6 Gospodin je za mene, neøu se bojati se niçega æto mi moœe uçiniti çovjek? 7 Gospodin je za mene meåu onima koji mi pomaœu, zato øu doœivjeti pobjedu nad svojim mrziteljima. 8 Bolje je uzdati se u Gospodina nego se oslanjati na çovjeka. 9 Bolje je uzdati se u Gospodina nego se oslanjati na vladare. 10 Svi su me narodi opkolili; u Ime Gospodinovo ja ih uniætavam. 11 Opkolili su me, stegnuli me; u Ime Gospodinovo ja ih uniætavam. 12 Kao roj pçela opkolili su me, ugasili se kao oganj u trnju, u Ime Gospodinovo ja ih uniætavam. 13 Gurnuli me opako da padnem, ali mi je Gospodin pomogao. 14 Gospodin mi je pobjeda i pjesma, jer mi je postao Spasitelj. 15 Çuj! Glas pobjede odjekuje u æatorima pravednika: desnica Gospodinova pokazala je snagu. 16 Desnica Gospodinova uzvisila se, desnica Gospodinova pokazala je snagu. 17 Nisam umro, ja œivim, i navjeæøivat øu djela Gospodinova. 18 Teæko me kazni Gospodin, ali me nije predao smrti. 19 Otvorite mi vrata pravde, uøi øu na njih, zahvalit øu Gospodinu 20 Ovo su vrata æto vode Gospodinu; tko je pravedan, smije uøi na njih: 21 Zahvaljujem ti jer si me usliæao i postao si mi spasenje. 22 Kamen, koji su odbacili graditelji, postao je glavni ugaoni kamen. 23 To se dogodilo od Gospodina, to je çudo pred oçima naæim. 24 Ovo je dan koji je uçinio Gospodin, radujmo se i veselimo se njemu!

Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD! 2 Blessed are those who keep his testimonies, who seek him with the whole heart! 3 They also do no iniquity; they walk in his ways. 4 You have commanded us to keep your precepts diligently. 5 Oh, that my ways were directed to keep your statutes! 6 Then I would not be ashamed, when I look into all your commandments. 7 I will praise you with uprightness of heart, when I learn your righteous judgments. 8 I will keep your statutes; oh, do not forsake me utterly! 9 How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to your word. 10 With my whole heart I have sought you; oh, let me not wander from your commandments! 11 Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against you. 12 Blessed are you, O LORD! Teach me your statutes. 13 With my lips I have declared all the judgments of your mouth. 14 I have rejoiced in the way of your testimonies, as much as in all riches. 15 I will meditate on your precepts, and contemplate your ways. 16 I will delight myself in your statutes; I will not forget your word. 17 Deal bountifully with your servant, that I may live and keep your word. 18 Open my eyes, that I may see wondrous things from your law. 19 I am a stranger in the earth; do not hide your commandments from me. 20 My soul breaks with longing For your judgments at all times. 21 You rebuke the proud–the cursed, who stray from your commandments. 22 Remove from me reproach and contempt, for I have kept your testimonies. 23 Princes also sit and speak against me, but your servant meditates on your statutes. 24 Your testimonies also are my delight and my counselors. 25 My soul clings to the dust; revive me according to your word. 26 I have declared my ways, and you answered me; teach me your statutes. 27 Make me understand the way of your precepts; so shall I meditate on your wondrous works. 28 My soul melts from heaviness; strengthen me according to your word. 29 Remove from me the way of lying, and grant me your law graciously. 30 I have chosen the way of truth; your judgments I have laid before me.

In my distress I cried to the LORD, and he heard me. 2 Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips and from a deceitful tongue. 3 What shall be given to you, or what shall be done to you, you false tongue? 4 Sharp arrows of the warrior, with coals of the broom tree! 5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar! 6 My soul has dwelt too long with one who hates peace. 7 I am for peace; but when I speak, they are for war.

I will lift up my eyes to the hills–From whence comes my help? 2 My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth. 3 He will not allow your foot to be moved; he who keeps you will not slumber. 4 Behold, he who keeps Israel Shall neither slumber nor sleep. 5 The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is your shade at your right hand. 6 The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night. 7 The LORD shall preserve you from all evil; he shall preserve your soul. 8 The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in From this time forth, and even forevermore.

I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go into the house of the LORD.” 2 Our feet have been standing within your gates, O Jerusalem! 3 Jerusalem is built as a city that is compact together, 4 Where the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, to the Testimony of Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD. 5 For thrones are set there for judgment, the thrones of the house of David. 6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May they prosper who love you. 7 Peace be within your walls, prosperity within your palaces.” 8 For the sake of my brethren and companions, I will now say, “Peace be within you.” 9 Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek your good.

Unto you I lift up my eyes, O you who dwell in the heavens. 2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the LORD our God, until he has mercy on us. 3 Have mercy on us, O LORD, have mercy on us! For we are exceedingly filled with contempt. 4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorn of those who are at ease, with the contempt of the proud.

Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides for-

Peace be upon Israel!

When the LORD brought back the captivity of Zion, we were like those who dream. 2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.” 3 The LORD has done great things for us, whereof we are glad. 4 Bring back our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the South. 5 Those who sow in tears Shall reap in joy. 6 He who continually goes forth weeping, bearing seed for sowing, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.

Kada je ono Gospodin vratio suœnjeœnjeve Siona, onda nam je bilo kao da smo sanjali. 2 Onda su usta naæa bila puna smijanja, jezik naæ pun kliktanja. Onda se govorilo po narodima: “Gospodin im je uçinio veliko djelo.” 3 Gospodin je uçinio djelo na nama, zato smo bili veseli. 4 Ah, Gospodine, okreni sudbinu naæu kao potoke u juœnoj zemlji! 5 Koji siju sa suzama neka œanju s pjevanjem! 6 Sada ide sa suzama, koji nosi sjeme da sije, ali s pjesmom dolazi, dolazi natrag noseøi svoje snopove.

Ljudska muka i Boœji blagoslov

Ako Gospodin ne gradi kuøu, uzalud se muçe koji ju grade. Ako Gospodin ne çuva grad, uzalud bdije onaj koji ga çuva. 2 Uzalud je æto se rano diœete i kasno za stol sjedate da jedete kruh muke: svojim ljubimcima daje ga on u snu. 3 Eto, sinovi su dar Gospodina; plod utrobe su njegova nagrada. 4 Kao strijele u ruci ratnikovoj, takvi su sinovi mladosti. 5 Blagoslovljen je çovjek koji je njima napunio tobolac svoj! Neøe se nikada osramotiti i kada se pravdaju na vratima s neprijateljima.

Unless the LORD builds the house, they labor in vain who build it; unless the LORD guards the city, the watchman stays awake in vain. 2 It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows; for so he gives his beloved sleep. 3 Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb is his reward. 4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one’s youth. 5 Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them; they shall not be ashamed, but shall speak with their enemies in the gate.

“Many a time they have afflicted me from my youth,” Let Israel now say– 2 “Many a time they have afflicted me from my youth; Yet they have not prevailed against me. 3 The plowers plowed on my back; they made their furrows long.” 4 The LORD is righteous; he has cut in pieces the cords of the wicked. 5 Let all those who hate Zion be put to shame and turned back. 6 Let them be as the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up, 7 With which the reaper does not fill his hand, nor he who binds sheaves, his arms. 8 Neither let those who pass by them say, “The blessing of the LORD be upon you; we bless you in the name of the LORD!”

130

Out of the depths I have cried to you, O LORD; 2 LORD, hear my voice! Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications. 3 If You, LORD, should mark iniquities, O LORD, who could stand? 4 But there is forgiveness with you, that you may be feared. 5 I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I do hope. 6 My soul waits for the LORD More than those who watch for the morning–I say, more than those who watch for the morning. 7 O Israel, hope in the LORD; for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is abundant redemption. 8 And he shall redeem Israel From all his iniquities.

131

LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor my eyes lofty. Neither do I concern myself with great matters, nor with things too profound for me. 2 Surely I have calmed and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with his mother; like a weaned child is my soul within me. 3 O Israel, hope in the LORD From this time forth and forever.

132

LORD, remember David and all his afflictions; 2 How he swore to the LORD, and vowed to the Mighty God of Jacob: 3 “Surely I will not go into the chamber of my house, or go up to the comfort of my bed; 4 I will not give sleep to my eyes Or slumber to my eyelids, 5 Until I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling place for the Mighty God of Jacob.” 6 Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of the woods. 7 Let us go into his tabernacle; let us worship at his footstool. 8 Arise, O LORD, to your resting place, you and the Ark of your strength.

Spasenje Izraelovo iz svih nevolja

“Teæko su me pritiskivali od moje mladosti”–neka rekne Izrael– 2 “Teæko su me pritiskivali od moje mladosti, ali me nikada nisu svladali. 3 Na mojim leåima orali su oraçi i povukli dugaçke brazde.” 4 Ali Gospodin, Pravedni, isijeçe uœad bezboœnika. 5 Sramotno se moraju odatle povuøi svi koji mrze Sion. 6 Oni su kao trava na krovovima æto se osuæi prije nego procvate. 7 Od nje ne napunja œetelac svoju ruku, ni naruçaj svoj vezalac. 8 Koji prolaze, ne viçu: “Neka vas blagoslovi Gospodin!

Spomeni se, Gospodine, Davida i svih muka njegovih. 2 Kako se zakleo Gospodinu, zavjetovao se Bogu Jakovljevu: 3 “Neøu uøi u æator stana svojega, niti øu leøi na postelju loœnice svoje, 4 neøu dati sna svojim oçima, ni vjeåama svojim drijema, 5 dok ne naåem mjesta Gospodinu, stana moønomu Bogu Jakovljevu!” 6 Evo, çuli smo o tom u plodnoj zemlji; saznali smo to u æumskim mjestima. 7 K stanu njegovu iøi øemo, poklonit øemo se podnoœju njegovih nogu! 8 Ustani, Gospodine, svojem poçivaliætu, ti i tvoja velemoøna ækrinja!

Gle, kako je lijepo i kako je ugodno kad braøa u miru prebivaju zajedno! 2 To je kao dragocjeno ulje na glavi æto teçe na bradu, bradu Aronovu æto kaplje na skut haljine njegove. 3 To je kao hermonska rosa æto pada na sionske gore, jer ondje Gospodin daje blagoslov, œivot zauvijek.

Behold, bless the LORD, all you servants of the LORD, who by night stand in the house of the LORD! 2 Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the LORD. 3 The LORD who made heaven and earth bless you from Zion! Praise the LORD! Praise the name of the LORD; praise him, o you servants of the LORD! 2 You who stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God, 3 Praise the LORD, for the LORD is good; sing praises to his name, for it is pleasant. 4 For the LORD has chosen Jacob for himself, Israel for his special treasure. 5 For I know that the LORD is great, and our LORD is above all gods. 6 Whatever the LORD pleases he does, in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deep places. 7 He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; he makes lightning for the rain; he brings the wind out of his treasuries. 8 He destroyed the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast. 9 He sent signs and wonders into the midst of you, o Egypt, upon Pharaoh and all his servants. 10 He defeated many nations and slew mighty kings– 11 Sihon king of the Amorites, og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan– 12 And gave their land as a heritage, a heritage to Israel his people. 13 Your name, O LORD, endures forever, your fame, O LORD, throughout all generations. 14 For the LORD will judge his people, and he will have compassion on his servants. 15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.

Hvalospjev bratske ljubavi

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity! 2 It is like the precious oil upon the head, running down on the beard, the beard of Aaron, running down on the edge of his garments. 3 It is like the dew of Hermon, descending upon the mountains of Zion; for there the LORD commanded the blessing–Life forevermore.

Ustanite, blagoslivljajte Gospodina sve sluge Gospodinove–æto stojite u Gospodinovu domu noøu! 2 Podignite svoje ruke u svetiætu i blagoslivljajte Gospodina! 3 Neka te blagoslovi Gospodin sa Siona, koji stvorio nebo i zemlju! Veliki Boœe, hvalimo te

I will praise you with my whole heart; before the gods I will sing praises to you. 2 I will worship toward your holy temple, and praise your name For your lovingkindness and your truth; for you have magnified your word above all your name. 3 In the day when I cried out, you answered me, and made me bold with strength in my soul. 4 All the kings of the earth shall praise you, O LORD, when they hear the words of your mouth. 5 Yes, they shall sing of the ways of the LORD, for great is the glory of the LORD. 6 Though the LORD is on high, Yet he regards the lowly; but the proud he knows from afar. 7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you will revive me; you will stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and your right hand will save me. 8 The LORD will perfect that which concerns me; your mercy, O LORD, endures forever; do not forsake the works of your hands.

O LORD, you have searched me and known me. 2 You know my sitting down and my rising up; you understand my thought afar off. 3 You comprehend my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways. 4 For there is not a word on my tongue, but behold, O LORD, you know it altogether. 5 You have hedged me behind and before, and laid your hand upon me. 6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain it. 7 Where can I go from your Spirit? Or where can I flee from your presence? 8 If I ascend into heaven, you are there; if I make my bed in hell, behold, you are there. 9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, 10 Even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me. 11 If I say, “Surely the darkness shall fall on me,” Even the night shall be light about me; 12 Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from you, but the night shines as the day; the darkness and the light are both alike to you. 13 For you have formed my inward parts; you have covered me in my mother’s womb.

Od svega srca slavit øu te, pred vladarima svirat øu ti. 2 Klanjam se prema svetomu tvojem domu; zahvaljujem tvojem Imenu na dobroti tvojoj i vjernosti tvojoj, jer si iznad svega svojega Imena uzveliçao svoju rijeç. 3 U dan u koji sam zazvao, ti si me usliæao, umnoœio si snagu mojoj duæi. 4 Slavit øe te, Gospodine, svi kraljevi zemaljski, kad çuju rijeç usta tvojih; 5 Pjevat øe putove Gospodinove: jer je velika slava Gospodinova. 6 Gospodin je uzviæen, ali on gleda i niskoga; ohologa izdaleka poznaje. 7 Ako moram i posred tjeskobe hoditi, ti me drœiæ na œivotu; protiv bijesa mojih neprijatelja pruœaæ svoju ruku, desnica me tvoja zaætiøuje. 8 Gospodin mi to dovræava na spasenje; Gospodine, vjeçno traje tvoje milosråe; svojih djela ruku ne ostavljaj!

Deliver me, O LORD, from evil men; pre serve me from violent men, 2 Who plan evil things in their hearts; they continually gather together for war. 3 They sharpen their tongues like a serpent; the poison of asps is under their lips. Selah 4 Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from violent men, who have purposed to make my steps stumble. 5 The proud have hidden a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set traps for me. Selah 6 I said to the LORD: “You are my God; hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD. 7 O God the LORD, the strength of my salvation, you have covered my head in the day of battle. 8 Do not grant, O LORD, the desires of the wicked; do not further his wicked scheme, lest they be exalted. Selah 9 As for the head of those who surround me, let the evil of their lips cover them; 10 Let burning coals fall upon them; let them be cast into the fire, into deep pits, that they rise not up again. 11 Let not a slanderer be established in the earth; let evil hunt the violent man to overthrow him.” 12 I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and justice for the poor. 13 Surely the righteous shall give thanks to your name; the upright shall dwell in your presence.

141

LORD, I cry out to you; make haste to me! Give ear to my voice when I cry out to you. 2 Let my prayer be set before you as incense, the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice. 3 Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips. 4 Do not incline my heart to any evil thing, to practice wicked works with men who work iniquity; and do not let me eat of their delicacies. 5 Let the righteous strike me; it shall be a kindness. And let him reprove me; it shall be as excellent oil; let my head not refuse it. For still my prayer is against the deeds of the wicked.

Izbavi me, o Gospodine, od zla çovjeka, od çovjeka nasilja saçuvaj me! 2 Od onih koji pomiæljaju zlo u srcu, svaki dan podiœu samo svaåu! 3 Zaoætravaju svoje jezike kao zmije, otrov je ljutice u njihovim ustima! 4 Saçuvaj me, o Gospodine, od æaka bezboœnika, od çovjeka nasilja saçuvaj me, od onih, koji gledaju da se spotaknu koraci moji! 5 Besramni su mi namjestili potajne zamke, razapeli su mreœe na putu i stavili mi zamke. 6 Ja kaœem Gospodinu: “Ti si moj Bog!” Çuj, o Gospodine, glas molitve moje! 7 Gospodine Boœe, moøni branitelju moj, koji zaætiøujeæ moju glavu u dan borbe, 8 O Gospodine, ne daj bezboœnicima æto œele! Ne daj da ikada uspiju zle njihove namisli! Oni bi se ponijeli. 9 Glavu mojih tlaçitelja neka pokrije kletva njihovih usta. 10 “Neka padne na njih œivo ugljevlje! Neka ih on baci u oganj, u propast, da ne ustanu nikada! 11 Çovjek jeziçan neka ne opstane u zemlji, çovjeka nasilja neka nesreøa navede u propast!” 12 Znam da Gospodin vodi stvar nevoljnika i parnicu siromaha. 13 Pravednici samo zahvaljuju tvojem Imenu; poæteni borave pred tvojim licem.

I cry out to the LORD with my voice; with my voice to the LORD I make my supplication. 2 I pour out my complaint before him; I declare before him my trouble. 3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then you knew my path. In the way in which I walk they have secretly set a snare for me. 4 Look on my right hand and see, for there is no one who acknowledges me; refuge has failed me; no one cares for my soul. 5 I cried out to you, O LORD: I said, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living. 6 Attend to my cry, for I am brought very low; deliver me from my persecutors, for they are stronger than I. 7 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise your name; the righteous shall surround me, for you shall deal bountifully with me.”

143

Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications! In your faithfulness answer me, and in your righteousness. 2 Do not enter into judgment with your servant, for in your sight no one living is righteous. 3 For the enemy has persecuted my soul; he has crushed my life to the ground; he has made me dwell in darkness, like those who have long been dead. 4 Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is distressed. 5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all your works; I muse on the work of your hands. 6 I spread out my hands to you; my soul longs for you like a thirsty land. Selah 7 Answer me speedily, O LORD; my spirit fails! Do not hide your face from me, lest I be like those who go down into the pit. 8 Cause me to hear your lovingkindness in the morning, for in you do I trust; cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul to you. 9 Deliver me, O LORD, from my enemies; in you I take shelter. 10 Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; your Spirit is good. Lead me in the land of uprightness. 11 Revive me, O LORD, for your name’s sake! For your righteousness’ sake bring my soul out of trouble. 12 In your mercy cut off my enemies, and destroy all those who afflict my soul; for I am your servant.

Molitva u smrtnoj pogibelji

Glasno viçem Gospodinu, glasno vapijem Gospodinu za milost. 2 Izlijevam pred njim tuœaljku svoju, nevolju svoju govorim pred njim. 3 Ako i jest moj duh u meni iznemogao, ti znaæ stazu moju, na putu kojim sam iæao, postavili su mi zamku potajno. 4 Pogledaj nadesno i vidi: nemam nikoga koji pazi na mene, nestalo mi svakoga utoçiæta, nitko se ne brine za moj œivot. 5 O Gospodine, vapijem tebi; kaœem: ti si moje utoçiæte, dio moj u zemlji œivih. 6 Çuj molbu moju, jer sam posve izmoren! Izbavi me od progonitelja mojih, jer su oni meni odviæe jaki. 7 Izvedi iz tamnice moju duæu da slavim tvoje Ime! Onda øe se pravednici radosno okupiti oko mene kad mi uçiniæ dobro.

Vapaj u progonstvu. Psalam Davidov

O Gospodine, usliæaj molitvu moju, çuj vapaje moje zbog vjernosti svoje i usliæaj me, jer si pravedan! 2 Ne idi na sud sa svojim slugama, jer nitko œiv nije pravedan pred tobom! 3 Neprijatelj goni moju duæu, gazi u prah moj œivot, gura me u noø kao davno pomrle. 4 Duh je moj u meni pun straha, srce mi trne u prsima. 5 Mislim na proæle dane, razmiæljam o svim tvojim djelima, promatram radove tvojih ruku. 6 Pruœam tebi svoje ruke; moja duæa çeka tebe kao suha zemlja. 7 O Gospodine, usliæaj me brzo, moj duh veø gine, ne skrivaj svojega lica od mene, inaçe sam kao oni koji su pali u grob. 8 Daj uçini da doskora iskusim milost tvoju, jer se uzdajem u tebe! Pokaœi mi put kojim øu iøi, jer tebi podiœem svoju duæu! 9 Izbavi me od mojih neprijatelja, o Gospodine, jer se utjeçem k tebi! 10 Nauçi me vræiti volju tvoju, jer si ti moj Bog! Duh tvoj dobri neka me vodi po stazi ravnoj! 11 Zbog svojega Imena, o Gospodine, odrœi me na œivotu, jer si pravedan, izvedi iz nevolje moju duæu! 12 Po svojoj milosti uniæti moje neprijatelje, uniæti sve koji me tvrdo pritiæçu, jer sam tvoj sluga! Boœji blagoslov u ratu i miru. Psalam Davidov

Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD, o my soul! 2 While I live I will praise the LORD; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being. 3 Do not put your trust in princes, nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help. 4 His spirit departs, he returns to his earth; in that very day his plans perish. 5 Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God, 6 Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them; who keeps truth forever, 7 Who executes justice for the oppressed, who gives food to the hungry. The LORD gives freedom to the prisoners. 8 The LORD opens the eyes of the blind; the LORD raises those who are bowed down; the LORD loves the righteous. 9 The LORD watches over the strangers; he relieves the fatherless and widow; but the way of the wicked he turns upside down. 10 The LORD shall reign forever–your God, o Zion, to all generations. Praise the LORD!

Praise the LORD! For it is good to sing praises to our God; for it is pleasant, and praise is beautiful. 2 The LORD builds up Jerusalem; he gathers together the outcasts of Israel. 3 He heals the broken-hearted and binds up their wounds. 4 He counts the number of the stars; he calls them all by name. 5 Great is our LORD, and mighty in power; his understanding is infinite. 6 The LORD lifts up the humble; he casts the wicked down to the ground. 7 Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praises on the harp to our God, 8 Who covers the heavens with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass to grow on the mountains. 9 He gives to the beast its food, and to the young ravens that cry. 10 He does not delight in the strength of the horse; he takes no pleasure in the legs of a man. 11 The LORD takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his mercy. 12 Praise the LORD, o Jerusalem! Praise your God, o Zion! 13 For he has strengthened the bars of your gates; he has blessed your children within you. 14 He makes peace in your borders, and fills you with the finest wheat. 15 He sends out his command to the earth; his word runs very swiftly. 16 He gives snow like wool; he scatters the frost like ashes; 17 He casts out his hail like morsels; who can stand before his cold? 18 He sends out his word and melts them; he causes his wind to blow, and the waters flow. 19 He declares his word to Jacob, his statutes and his judgments to Israel. 20 He has not dealt thus with any nation; and as for

THE BOOK OF PROVERBS

The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel: 2 To know wisdom and instruction, to perceive the words of understanding, 3 to receive the instruction of wisdom, Justice, judgment, and equity; 4 to give prudence to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion– 5 A wise man will hear and increase learning, and a man of understanding will attain wise counsel, 6 to understand a proverb and an enigma, the words of the wise and their riddles. 7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction. 8 My son, hear the instruction of your father, and do not forsake the law of your mother; 9 for they will be graceful ornaments on your head, and chains about your neck. 10 My son, if sinners entice you, do not consent. 11 If they say, “Come with us, let us lie in wait to shed blood; let us lurk secretly for the innocent without cause; 12 let us swallow them alive like Sheol, and whole, like those who go down to the Pit; 13 we shall find all kinds of precious possessions, we shall fill our houses with spoil; 14 cast in your lot among us, let us all have one purse”– 15 my son, do not walk in the way with them, keep your foot from their path; 16 for their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed blood. 17 Surely, in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird; 18 but they lie in wait for their own blood, they lurk secretly for their own lives. 19 So are the ways of everyone who is greedy for gain; it takes away the life of its owners. 20 Wisdom calls aloud outside; she raises her voice in the open squares. 21 She cries out in the chief concourses, at the openings of the gates in the city she speaks her words: 22 “How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? For scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge. 23 Turn at my reproof; Surely I will pour out my spirit on you; I will make my words known to you. 24 Because I have called and you refused, I have stretched out my hand and no one regarded, 25 because you disdained all my counsel, and would have none of my reproof, 26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your terror comes, 27 when your terror comes like a storm, and your destruction comes like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you. 28 Then they will call on me, but I will not answer; they will seek me diligently, but they will not find me. 29 Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the LORD, 30 they would have none of my counsel and despised all my reproof, 31 therefore they shall eat the fruit of their own way, and be filled to the full with their own fancies. 32 For the turning away of the simple will slay them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them; 33 but whoever listens to me will dwell safely, and will be secure, without fear of evil.”

Mudre Izreke KNJIGA MUDRIH IZREKA

Mudre Izreke Salomona, sina Davidova, kralja Izraelova: 2 za spoznati mudrost i pouku, shvatiti razumne rijeçi, 3 da se primi pouka mudrosti, pravednost, poætenje i iskrenost, 4 dati razboritost neiskusnima, razum i spoznaju mladiøu. 5 Çuje li ih mudrac, u znanju øe porasti, a razuman çovjek øe steøi mudrost. 6 Razumjet øe govor priçe i prispodobe, rijeçi i zagonetke mudraca. 7 Strah od Gospodina je poçetak znanja; samo luåaci preziru mudrost i pouku. 8 Moj sine, sluæaj pouku svojega oca i ne napuætaj naputak svoje majke; 9 jer øe biti ures na tvojoj glavi i lanci oko tvojega vrata. 10 Moj sine, ako te mame grjeænici nemoj pristati. 11 Ako su rekli: “Doåi s nama, vrebajmo da prolijemo krv, da stavimo zamku neduœnomu ni za æto; 12 œive ih proœderimo kao carstvo mrtvih, s koœom i kosom, kao one koji u jamu grob; 13 dobit øemo koje dragocjeno dobro, napunit øemo svoje kuøe plijenom; 14 u naæem krugu bacit øeæ svoj œdrijeb, da svi imamo zajedniçku novçarku.” 15 Moj sine, ne idi s njima na put, drœi svoju nogu daleko od njihove staze; 16 jer njihove noge trçe k zlu, hite prolijevati krv. 17 Zaista, uzalud je razapeta mreœa pred oçima svih ptica; 18 vrebaju svoju vlastitu krv, stavljaju sami sebi zamku. 19 To je sudbina svakoga koji je lakom za nepravednim dobitkom; uzima œivot vlasnika. 20 Mudrost zove glasno na otvorenom; na otvorenim trgovima podiœe svoj glas. 21 Na zidovima visoko gore razlijeœe se njezin povik; na otvorenim vratima grada drœi svoje govore: 22 “Dokle øete joæ, vi bezumnici, ljubiti bezumnost? Jer podsmjevaçi uœivaju u podsmijehu, i bezumnici mrze razboritost? 23 Primite moju opomenu. Zaista, izlit øu svoj duh na vas, i objavit øu vam svoje rijeçi. 24 Jer sam vas zvao, a vi ste odbili, ja sam raskrilio svoje ruke, a nitko nije mario, 25 jer ste u vjetar bacali svaki moj savjet, niste htjeli sluæati moju opomenu, 26 Zato øu se i ja smijati vaæoj nesreøi, rugat øu se kad vas napadne tjeskoba, 27 kao kad vaæ strah na vas navali kao nevrijeme i vaæa pogibao kao kad doåe oluja, kad nasrne na vas nevolja i muka. 28 Onda øe me zvati, ali se ja neøu odazvati; traœit øe me briœno, ali me neøe naøi. 29 Jer su mrzili znanje, i nisu izabrali strah Gospodinov, 30 za moj savjet nisu se nikada brinuli, sva su moja karanja prezirali. 31 Stoga øe jesti plod svojih djela i nasitit øe se svojih nauma. 32 Odbijanje malenih donosi smrt, a bezbriœnost bezumnika øe ih uniætiti. 33 Ali tkogod mene slijedi, moœe sigurno œivjeti

Moj sine, ako primiæ moje rijeçi, i kod sebe pohraniæ moje naputke, 2 tako da mudrosti prikloniæ svoje uho, svoje srce okreneæ razboritosti; 3 jest, ako prizoveæ mudrost, svoj glas podigneæ k spoznaji; 4 ako je traœiæ kao srebro, kao skriveno blago ako je potraœiæ; 5 onda øeæ upoznati strah Gospodinov i dobit øeæ spoznanje Boga. 6 Jer mudrost daje samo Gospodin, spoznaja i razboritost dolaze iz njegovih usta. 7 Iskrenima çuva spasenje, ætit je onima, koji hode u neduœnosti. 8 Zaætiøuje stazu pravde i çuva put svojih poboœnika. 9 Onda øeæ zadobiti razumijevanje za pravednost, poætenje i iskrenost za svaki dobar put. 10 Kad mudrost uåe u tvoje srce, spoznaja razveseli tvoju duæu: 11 oprez øe bdjeti nad tobom, razbor øe te çuvati, 12 çuvat øe te od zla puta, od ljudi koji govore varavo, 13 koji ostavljaju prave staze, da idu putovima mraçnim; 14 koji se raduju çineøi zlo, uœitak nalaze u zloj opaçini; 15 çija je staza kriva i koji su lukavi na svojim putovima; 16 koja te çuva od œene drugoga, od strankinje koja laskavo govori, 17 koja ostavlja prijatelja svoje mladosti i zaboravlja zavjet svojega Boga. 18 Zaista u smrt tone kuøa njezina, u carstvo mrtvih idu njezini putovi. 19 Tko se svrati k njoj, ne dolazi nikada natrag, ne stane viæe nikada na staze œivota. 20 Zato hodi putom dobrih i drœi se staze pravednika. 21 Jer samo dobri stanovat øe u zemlji, samo øe poæteni ostati u njoj. 22 A bezboœnici øe se istrgnuti iz zemlje, bezakonici iz nje iskorijeniti.

My son, do not forget my law, but let your heart keep my commands; 2 For length of days and long life and peace they will add to you. 3 Let not mercy and truth forsake you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart, 4 and so find favor and high esteem in the sight of God and man. 5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths. 7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and depart from evil. 8 It will be health to your flesh, and strength to your bones. 9 Honor the LORD with your possessions, and with the firstfruits of all your increase; 10 so your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine. 11 My son, do not despise the chastening of the LORD, nor detest his correction;

Plodovi mudrosti

My son, if you receive my words, and treasure my commands within you, 2 so that you incline your ear to wisdom, and apply your heart to understanding; 3 yes, if you cry out for discernment, and lift up your voice for understanding, 4 if you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures; 5 then you will understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. 6 For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding; 7 He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; he is a shield to those who walk uprightly; 8 He guards the paths of justice, and preserves the way of his saints. 9 Then you will understand righteousness and justice, equity and every good path. 10 When wisdom enters your heart, and knowledge is pleasant to your soul, 11 discretion will preserve you; understanding will keep you, 12 to deliver you from the way of evil, from the man who speaks perverse things, 13 from those who leave the paths of uprightness to walk in the ways of darkness; 14 who rejoice in doing evil, and delight in the perversity of the wicked; 15 whose ways are crooked, and who are devious in their paths; 16 to deliver you from the immoral woman, from the seductress who flatters with her words, 17 who forsakes the companion of her youth, and forgets the covenant of her God. 18 for her house leads down to death, and her paths to the dead; 19 none who go to her return, nor do they regain the paths of life– 20 so you may walk in the way of goodness, and keep to the paths of righteousness. 21 For the upright will dwell in the land, and the blameless will remain in it; 22 but the wicked will be cut off from the earth, and the unfaithful will be uprooted from it.

Boj se Boga i ljubi bliœnjega

Moj sine, ne zaboravljaj moj zakon, a tvoje srce neka se drœi moje upute, 2 jer ti one donose dug œivot, godine blagostanja i puno sreøe. 3 Nikad te neøe ostaviti ljubav i vjernost, i priveœi moje zapovijedi na svoj vrat, napiæi ih na ploçu svojega srca. 4 i tako nalazi milost i bogatu nagradu kod Boga i ljudi. 5 Uzdaj se u Gospodina svim srcem, i ne oslanjaj se na svoju razboritost. 6 Misli na njega na svim svojim putovima, i on øe ti ravnati staze. 7 Ne drœi sam sebe mudrim, boj se Gospodina i kloni se zla. 8 To çini tvoje tijelo zdravim i vrelo mladosti tvojim udovima. 9 Daj çast Gospodinu svojim posjedom i prvinama svega svojega dohotka. 10 Onda øe se napuniti tvoje œitnice obilja i prelijevat øe se vino iz tvojih baçava. 11 Moj sine, ne misli nisko o stezi Gospodinovoj i nemoj da ti omrzne njegovo karanje.

Hear, my children, the instruction of a father, and give attention to know understanding; 2 for I give you good doctrine: do not forsake my law. 3 When I was my father’s son, tender and the only one in the sight of my mother, 4 He also taught me, and said to me: “Let your heart retain my words; keep my commands, and live. 5 Get wisdom! Get understanding! Do not forget, nor turn away from the words of my mouth. 6 Do not forsake her, and she will preserve you; love her, and she will keep you. 7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding. 8 Exalt her, and she will promote you; she will bring you honor, when you embrace her. 9 She will place on your head an ornament of grace; a crown of glory she will deliver to you.” 10 Hear, my son, and receive my sayings, and the years of your life will be many. 11 I have taught you in the way of wisdom; I have led you in right paths. 12 When you walk, your steps will not be hindered,

My son, pay attention to my wisdom; lend your ear to my understanding, 2 that you may preserve discretion, and that your lips may keep knowledge. 3 For the lips of an immoral woman drip honey, and her mouth is smoother than oil; 4 but in the end she is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword. 5 Her feet go down to death, her steps lay hold of hell. 6 Lest you ponder her path of life–her ways are unstable; you do not know them. 7 Therefore hear me now, my children, and do not depart from the words of my mouth. 8 Remove your way far from her, and do not go near the door of her house, 9 lest you give your honor to others, and your years to the cruel one; 10 lest aliens be filled with your wealth, and your labors go to the house of a foreigner; 11 and you mourn at last, when your flesh and your body are consumed, 12 and say: “How I have hated instruction, And my heart despised reproof! 13 I have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined my ear to those who instructed me! 14 I was on the verge of total ruin, in the midst of the congregation and assembly.” 15 Drink water from your own cistern, and running water from your own well. 16 Should your fountains be dispersed abroad, streams of water in the streets? 17 Let them be only your own, and not for strangers with you. 18 Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice with the wife of your youth. 19 As a loving deer and a graceful doe, let her breasts

My son, if you become surety for your friend, if you have shaken hands in pledge for a stranger, 2 you are snared by the words of your own mouth; you are taken by the words of your mouth. 3 So do this, my son, and deliver yourself; for you have come into the hand of your friend: go and humble yourself; plead with your friend. 4 Give no sleep to your eyes, nor slumber to your eyelids. 5 Deliver yourself like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, and like a bird from the hand of the fowler. 6 Go to the ant, you sluggard! Consider her ways and be wise, 7 which, having no captain, overseer or ruler, 8 provides her supplies in the summer, and gathers her food in the harvest. 9 How long will you slumber, O sluggard? When will you rise from your sleep? 10 A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep– 11 so shall your poverty come on you like a robber, and your need like an armed man. 12 A worthless person, a wicked man, walks with a perverse mouth; 13 he winks with his eyes, he shuffles his feet, he points with his fingers; 14 perversity is in his heart, he devises evil continually, he sows discord. 15 Therefore his calamity shall come suddenly; suddenly he shall be broken without remedy. 16 These six things the LORD hates, yes, seven are an abomination to him: 17 A proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, 18 a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that are swift in running to evil, 19 a false witness who speaks lies, and one who sows discord among brethren. 20 My son, keep your father’s command, and do not forsake the law of your mother. 21 Bind them continually upon your heart; tie them around your neck. 22 When you roam, they will lead you; when you sleep, they will keep you; and when you awake, they will speak with you. 23 For the commandment is a lamp, and the law is light; reproofs of instruction are the way of life, 24 to keep you from the evil woman, from the flattering tongue of a seductress. 25 Do not lust after her beauty in your heart, nor let her allure you with her eyelids. 26 For by means of a harlot a man is reduced to a crust of bread; and an adulteress will prey upon his precious life. 27 can a man take fire to his bosom, and his clothes not be burned? 28 Can one walk on hot coals, and his feet not be seared? 29 So is he who goes in to his neighbor’s wife; who-

My son, keep my words, and treasure my commands within you. 2 Keep my commands and live, and my law as the apple of your eye. 3 Bind them on your fingers; write them on the tablet of your heart. 4 Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,” and call understanding your nearest kin, 5 that they may keep you from the immoral woman, from the seductress who flatters with her words. 6 For at the window of my house I looked through my lattice, 7 and saw among the simple, I perceived among the youths, a young man devoid of understanding, 8 passing along the street near her corner; and he took the path to her house 9 in the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night. 10 And there a woman met him, with the attire of a harlot, and a crafty heart. 11 She was loud and rebellious, her feet would not stay at home. 12 At times she was outside, at times in the open square, lurking at every corner. 13 So she caught him and kissed him; with an impudent face she said to him: 14 “I have peace offerings with me; today I have paid my vows. 15 So I came out to meet you, diligently to seek your face, and I have found you. 16 I have spread my bed with tapestry, Colored coverings of Egyptian linen. 17 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. 18 Come, let us take our fill of love until morning; let us delight ourselves with love. 19 For my husband is not at home; he has gone on a long journey; 20 He has taken a bag of money with him, and will come home on the appointed day.” 21 With her enticing speech she caused him to yield, with her flattering lips she seduced him. 22 Immediately he went after her, as an ox goes to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks, 23 till an arrow struck his liver. As a bird hastens to the snare, he did not know it would take his life. 24 Now therefore, listen to me, my children; pay attention to the words of my mouth: 25 Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways, do not stray into her paths; 26 for she has cast down many wounded, and all who were slain by her were strong men. 27 Her house is the way to hell, descending to the chambers of death.

Does not wisdom cry out, and understanding lift up her voice? 2 She takes her stand on the top of the high hill, beside the way, where the paths meet. 3 She cries out by the gates, at the entry of the city, at the entrance of the doors: 4 “To you, O men, I call, and my voice is to the sons of men. 5 O you simple ones, understand prudence, and you fools, be of an understanding heart. 6 Listen, for I will speak of excellent things, and from the opening of my lips will come right things; 7 for my mouth will speak truth; wickedness is an abomination to my lips. 8 All the words of my mouth are with righteousness; nothing crooked or perverse is in them. 9 They are all plain to him who understands, and right to those who find knowledge. 10 Receive my instruction, and not silver, and knowledge rather than choice gold; 11 for wisdom is better than rubies, and all the things one may desire cannot be compared with her. 12 I, wisdom, dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge and discretion. 13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil; pride and arrogance and the evil way and the perverse mouth I hate. 14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom; I am understanding, I have strength. 15 By me kings reign, and rulers decree justice. 16 By me princes rule, and nobles, all the judges of the earth. 17 I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently will find me. 18 Riches and honor are with me, enduring riches and righteousness. 19 My fruit is better than gold, yes, than fine gold, and my revenue than choice silver. 20 I traverse the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of justice, 21 that I may cause those who love me to inherit wealth, that I may fill their treasuries. 22 The LORD possessed me at the beginning of his way, before his works of old. 23 I have been established from everlasting, from the beginning, before there was ever an earth. 24 When there were no depths I was brought forth, when there were no fountains abounding with water. 25 Before the mountains were settled, before the hills, I was brought forth; 26 while as yet he had not made the earth or the fields, or the primeval dust of the world. 27 When he prepared the heavens, I was there, when he drew a circle on the face of the deep, 28 when he established the clouds above, when he strengthened the fountains of the deep, 29 When he assigned to the sea its limit, so that the waters would not transgress his command, when he marked out the foundations of the earth, 30 then I was beside him, as a master craftsman; and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him, 31 rejoicing in his inhabited world, and my delight was with the sons of men. 32 Now therefore, listen to me, my children, for blessed are those who keep my ways. 33 Hear instruction and be wise, and do not disdain it. 34 Blessed is the man who listens to me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors. 35 For whoever finds me finds life, and obtains favor

Mudre Izreke Mudrost je vjeçna

Çuj, ne zove li mudrost i ne diœe li razboritost svoj glas? 2 Gore, visoko iznad puta, ili gdje se kriœaju putovi, ona se postavila. 3 Ili kod vrata, gdje se ostavlja grad, ili gdje se ulazi u grad, ona zove glasno: 4 Vas zovem, o ljudi, svoju rijeç upravljam k çovjeçjoj djeci. 5 Imajte razumijevanja za mudrost, vi ljudi prosti, a vi ludi urazumite se. 6 Sluæajte, jer øu vam govoriti velike stvari, svoje usne otvaram za istiniti govor. 7 Jest, moj jezik govori samu istinu, mrska je laœljivost mojim usnama. 8 Istinite su rijeçi mojih usta, niæta nema u njima laœno i zlobno. 9 Sve su one jasne razboritomu i jednostavne onima koji traœe istinu. 10 Primite moju pouku radije negoli srebro, razboritost radije negoli zlato. 11 Jer je mudrost vrednija od bisera i nikakva dragocjenost nije joj jednaka. 12 Ja, mudrost, u savezu sam s razboritoæøu i nalazim znanje i razum. 13 Strah je Gospodinov mrœnja na zlo. Ja mrzim uznositost i oholost, zao put i laœni govor. 14 U mene je oprez i mudar savjet, moja je razboritost i moja je jakost. 15 Po meni vladaju kraljevi, odluçuju velikaæi po pravdi. 16 Po meni zapovjedaju glavari, knezovi, svi suci na zemlji. 17 Ja ljubim one koji ljube mene i koji me traœe, nalaze me. 18 U mene se naåu bogatstvo i çast, i postojano dobro i trajno blagostanje. 19 Plod je moj bolji od zlata i od suhoga zlata i dobitak je moj vredniji od çistoga srebra. 20 Idem stazom pravednosti posred putova pravice. 21 Onima koji me ljube dajem dobra, napunjam njihove riznice. 22 Gospodin me stvorio u poçetku svojega upravljanja, kao prvo od svojih djela, u pradoba. 23 Bila sam postavljena prije vjeçnosti, prije poçetka, prije postanja svijeta. 24 Nije joæ bilo dubina voda kada sam se rodila, i nije joæ bilo izvora s obilatom vodom. 25 Nisu joæ bile utemeljene gore, prije breœuljaka ja sam se rodila, 26 prije nego je stvorio zemlju i polja i prve grude zemlje svijeta. 27 Kad je gradio nebesa, ja sam onda bila, i kad je razmjeravao svod nad vodama mora. 28 Kad je u visini motao oblake, kad je pustio da nabujaju izvori bezdana, 29 kad je postavljao moru meåe njegove, da nikada ne prestupi voda obalu svoju, kad je utvråivao stupove zemlji, 30 onda sam stajala, njegova miljenica, na njegovoj strani, bila sam iz dan u dan puna zanosa, puna radosti pred njim uvijek, 31 puna radosti na æirokoj njegovoj zemlji, puna zanosa nad çovjeçjom djecom. 32 Stoga sada, posluæajte me djeco, jer blagoslovljeni su oni koji idu mojim putovima. 33 Sluæajte naputak moj da dobijete mudrost i nemojte je odbaciti. 34 Blagoslovljen je onaj koji me sluæa, koji straœari na vratima mojim svaki dan, koji çuva

Wisdom has built her house, she has hewn out her seven pillars; 2 she has slaughtered her meat, she has mixed her wine, she has also furnished her table. 3 She has sent out her maidens, she cries out from the highest places of the city, 4 “Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!” As for him who lacks understanding, she says to him, 5 “Come, eat of my bread and drink of the wine which I have mixed. 6 Forsake foolishness and live, and go in the way of understanding. 7 He who reproves a scoffer gets shame for himself, and he who rebukes a wicked man gets himself a blemish. 8 Do not reprove a scoffer, lest he hate you; rebuke a wise man, and he will love you. 9 Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser; teach a just man, and he will increase in learning. 10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. 11 For by me your days will be multiplied, and years of life will be added to you. 12 If you are wise, you are wise for yourself, and if you scoff, you alone will bear it.” 13 A foolish woman is clamorous; she is simple, and knows nothing. 14 For she sits at the door of her house, on a seat by the highest places of the city, 15 to call to those who pass by, who go straight on their way: 16 “Whoever is simple, let him turn in here”; and as for him who lacks understanding, she says to him, 17 “Stolen water is sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.” 18 But he does not know that the dead are there, that her guests are in the depths of hell.

The Proverbs of Solomon: A wise son makes a glad father, but a foolish son is the grief of his mother. 2 Treasures of wickedness profit nothing, but righteousness delivers from death. 3 The LORD will not allow the righteous soul to famish, but he casts away the desire of the wicked. 4 He who deals with a slack hand becomes poor, but the hand of the diligent makes one rich. 5 He who gathers in summer is a wise son, but he who sleeps in harvest is a son who causes shame. 6 Blessings are on the head of the righteous, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked. 7 The memory of the righteous is blessed, but the name of the wicked will rot. 8 The wise in heart will receive commands, but a prating fool will fall. 9 He who walks with integrity walks securely, but he who perverts his ways will become known. 10 He who winks with the eye causes trouble, but a prating fool will fall. 11 The mouth of the righteous is a well of life, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked. 12 Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all sins. 13 Wisdom is found on the lips of him who has under-

Mudrost sagradi sebi kuøu; na sedam stupova stoji. 2 Pokolje svoju stoku, natoçi svoje vino i postavi svoj stol. 3 Poæalje svoje djevojke da objave na najviæim mjestima grada: 4 “Tko je lud, neka se svrati ovamo.” Tko nema razboritosti, tomu govori: 5 “Doåite, jedite kruha mojega, pijte vina æto sam ga natoçila. 6 Ostavite ludost da œivite i poåite putom razboritosti. 7 Tko pouçava podsmjevaça, donosi sam sebi samo sramotu, tko kori bezboœnika, prima porugu. 8 Ne pouçavaj podsmjevaça, on bi mogao zamrziti tebe; karaj mudroga, on øe te ljubiti. 9 Pouçavaj mudroga, i bit øe joæ mudriji; pouçavaj poboœnika, on dobije joæ na razboritosti. 10 Poçetak je sve mudrosti strah Gospodinov; poznavati Najsvetijega jest razboritost. 11 Jer je Gospodin, koji umnoœava tvoje dane, koji çini mnogima godine tvojega œivota. 12 Ako si mudar, to je za tvoje dobro, ako si podsmjevaç, sam øeæ to morat okajati.” 13 Luda œena je nemirna, puna strasti, prosta i ne zna niæta. 14 Sjedi na vratima svoje kuøe, na stolici u gradu visoko gore, 15 da zove one æto prolaze, a koji idu pravo svojim putom. 16 “Tko je lud, neka se svrati ovamo“; tko nema razboritosti, tomu govori: 17 “Tako je slatka ukradena voda, teçan je skriveni kruh.” 18 A ne znaju da se ondje gomilaju sjene, da gosti njezini leœe u carstvu mrtvih. Blagoslovljena je pravednost, a proklet je grijeh

Salomonove mudre izreke: Mudar sin radost je svojem ocu, a lud sin œalost je svojoj majci. 2 Nepravedno steçeno blago ne donosi koristi, a pravednost izbavlja od smrti. 3 Ne da Gospodin da trpe glad pravednici, a pohlepu bezboœnika odbija. 4 Lijena ruka osiromaæuje, a marljiva ruka obogaøuje. 5 Tko ljeti skuplja, razuman je; tko spava o œetvi, uzrokuje sramotu. 6 Na glavu pravednika prosipa se bogat blagoslov, a usta bezboœnika kriju bijedu. 7 Spomen pravednikov ostaje u blagoslovu, a bezboœniku se ime proklinje. 8 Tko je mudra srca, prima naputke, lud brbljavac propadne. 9 Tko ide svojim putom u neduœnosti, ide sigurno, tko ide krivim stazama, poznat øe se. 10 Tko namiguje oçima, zadaje muku, lud brbljavac propadne. 11 Usta su pravednikova izvor œivota, a usta bezboœnikova kriju bijedu. 12 Mrœnja izaziva samo svaåu, a ljubav prikriva sve prijestupe.

A false balance is an abomination to the LORD, but a just weight is his delight. 2 When pride comes, then comes shame; but with the humble is wisdom. 3 The integrity of the upright will guide them, but the perversity of the unfaithful will destroy them. 4 Riches do not profit in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death. 5 The righteousness of the blameless will direct his way aright, but the wicked will fall by his own wickedness. 6 The righteousness of the upright will deliver them, but the unfaithful will be taken by their own lust. 7 When a wicked man dies, his expectation will perish, and the hope of the unjust perishes. 8 The righteous is delivered from trouble, and it comes to the wicked instead. 9 The hypocrite with his mouth destroys his neighbor, but through knowledge the righteous will be delivered. 10 When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices; and when the wicked perish, there is shouting. 11 By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted, but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked. 12 He who is devoid of wisdom despises his neighbor, but a man of understanding holds his peace. 13 A talebearer reveals secrets, but he who is of a faithful spirit conceals a matter. 14 Where there is no counsel, the people fall; but in

Sreøa pravednika, nesreøa bezboœnika

Laœna mjerila Gospodinu su mrska, a pravedna mjera ugodna mu je. 2 Doåe li oholost, doåe i prezir, a mudrost se zadrœi kod poniznih. 3 Neduœnost vodi poætene sigurno, a nevjerne upropaæøuje njihova laœljivost. 4 Bogatstvo ne koristi niæta u dan srdœbe, a pravednost izbavlja od smrti. 5 Neduœnomu ravna put njegova pravda, a bezboœnik pada od vlastite zloøe. 6 Poætene izbavlja njihova pravednost, a nevjerni se hvataju svojom poœudom. 7 Kad umre bezboœnik, propada nadanje njegovo, oçekivanje opakoga sruæi se. 8 Pravednik se izbavlja iz nevolje, a bezboœnik zauzima njegovo mjesto. 9 Opak çovjek traœi da pokvari bliœnjega svojim jezikom, a oprezom se izbavljaju pravednici. 10 Kad ide dobro pravedniku raduje se grad; a kliçe zbog propasti bezboœnika. 11 Grad se podiœe blagoslovom poætenih ljudi, a ustima se bezboœnika uniætava. 12 Bezumnik postupa sa svojim bliœnjim prezirno, a razuman çovjek æuti tiho. 13 Tko kao klevetnik ide naokolo, izdaje tajne, a pouzdan çovjek drœi stvar tajno. 14 Gdje nema vodstva, propada narod; a dobro stoji gdje se çuju mnogi savjetnici. 15 Veoma se zlo prolazi kad se jamçi za druge, tko mrzi biti jamac, ide bezbriœno.

12

Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge, but he who hates reproof is stupid. 2 A good man obtains favor from the LORD, but a man of wicked devices he will condemn. 3 A man is not established by wickedness, but the root of the righteous cannot be moved. 4 an excellent wife is the crown of her husband, but she who causes shame is like rottenness in his bones. 5 The thoughts of the righteous are right, but the counsels of the wicked are deceitful. 6 The words of the wicked are, “Lie in wait for blood,” but the mouth of the upright will deliver them. 7 The wicked are overthrown and are no more, but the house of the righteous will stand. 8 A man will be commended according to his wisdom, but he who is of a perverse heart will be despised. 9 Better is the one who is slighted but has a servant, than he who honors himself but lacks bread. 10 A righteous man regards the life of his animal, but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel. 11 He who tills his land will be satisfied with bread, but he who follows frivolity is devoid of understanding. 12 The wicked covet the catch of evil men, but the root of the righteous yields fruit. 13 The wicked is ensnared by the transgression of his lips, but the righteous will come through trouble. 14 A man will be satisifed with good by the fruit of his mouth, and the recompense of a man’s hands will be rendered to him. 15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but he who heeds counsel is wise.

Vladanje mudrih i ludih

Tko ljubi opomenu, ljubi znanje; tko mrzi ukor, luåak je. 2 Dobar çovjek dobiva milost kod Gospodina, a spletkaæa osuåuje. 3 Çovjek se ne utvråuje bezboœnoæøu, korijen pravednika ne pomiçe se nikada. 4 Marljiva œena je kruna svojem muœu, a zla je kao gnjileœ u njegovim kostima. 5 Miæljenje pravednikovo ide samo za pravdom, spletke bezboœnika samo za prijevarom. 6 Rijeçi bezboœnika vrebaju krv, a usta pravednika spase ih. 7 Bezboœnici padaju i nema ih viæe, a kuøa pravednikova ostaje. 8 Prema razboritosti svojoj hvali se çovjek, a tko je smeten, izvrgnut je ruglu. 9 Bolje je onomu koji je skroman, a svojega slugu ima, negoli onaj koji se veliça a nema æto jesti. 10 Pravednik se brine za ono æto treba njegovo œivinçe, a u bezboœnika je srce bez osjeøaja. 11 Tko obraåuje svoje polje, taj øe jesti do sitosti; a tko trçi za besposlicama, bezuman je. 12 Tvråava bezboœnika sruæit øe se, a korijen pravednika traje. 13 Zlu je çovjeku zamka u grijehu usana njegovih, a pravednik izmakne tjeskobi. 14 Çovjek øe se nasititi dobra od ploda svojih usta, i vratit øe mu se po djelu njegovih ruku. 15 Bezumniku se çini pravi njegov put, a mudar çovjek prima nauk. 16 Bezumnik pokaœe svoju srdœbu na mjestu, a mudri pokriva uvredu.

A wise son heeds his father’s instruction, but a scoffer does not listen to rebuke. 2 A man shall eat well by the fruit of his mouth, but the soul of the unfaithful feeds on violence. 3 He who guards his mouth preserves his life, but he who opens wide his lips shall have destruction. 4 the soul of a sluggard desires, and has nothing; but the soul of the diligent shall be made rich. 5 A righteous man hates lying, but a wicked man is loathsome and comes to shame. 6 Righteousness keeps him whose way is blameless, but wickedness overthrows the sinner. 7 There is one who makes himself rich, yet has nothing; and one who makes himself poor, yet has great riches. 8 The ransom of a man’s life is his riches, but the poor does not hear rebuke. 9 The light of the righteous rejoices, but the lamp of the wicked will be put out. 10 By pride comes only contention, but with the welladvised is wisdom. 11 Wealth gained by dishonesty will be diminished, but he who gathers by labor will increase. 12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when the desire comes, it is a tree of life. 13 He who despises the word will be destroyed, but he who fears the commandment will be rewarded. 14 The law of the wise is a fountain of life, to turn one away from the snares of death. 15 Good understanding gains favor, but the way of the unfaithful is hard. 16 Every prudent man acts with knowledge, but a fool lays open his folly. 17 A wicked messenger falls into trouble, but a faithful ambassador brings health. 18 Poverty and shame will come to him who disdains correction, but he who regards reproof will be honored. 19 A desire accomplished is sweet to the soul, but it is an abomination to fools to depart from evil. 20 He who walks with wise men will be wise, but the companion of fools will be destroyed. 21 Evil pursues sinners, but to the righteous, good shall be repaid. 22 A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s

Mudar sin prima pouku, a podsmjevaç ne sluæa ukora. 2 Od ploda rijeçi svojih nasitit øe se svaki obilno, nevjernomu çovjeku hoøe se nasilja. 3 Tko çuva svoja usta, çuva svoj œivot, tko razvaljuje svoje usne, propada. 4 Puna je œelja, ali bez uspjeha, duæa lijençine; œelja se marljivih ljudi obilno utiæa. 5 Laœna rijeç mrska je pravedniku, a bezboœnik upada u porugu i sramotu. 6 Pravda ætiti œivot neduœan; bezboœnost uniætava grjeænike. 7 Netko se pravi bogatim, a nema niæta; netko je siromaæan, a ima velik imetak. 8 U bogatstvu njegovu otkup je za njegov œivot, a siromah ne treba sluæati prijetnju. 9 Veselo gori svjetlo pravednika, a svjetiljka se bezboœnika ugasi. 10 Od oholosti bude samo svaåa; tko se daje svjetovati, taj je mudar. 11 Naglo zgrabljeno imanje proåe, a tko samo skuplja rukom, postane bogat. 12 Dugo nadanje razboli srce, a drvo je œivota œelja ispunjena. 13 Tko prezire opomenu, sam sebi ækodi; tko ima strahopoætovanje prema zapovijedi, toga dopadne plaøa. 14 Nauk je mudroga izvor œivota, da utekne zamkama smrti. 15 Dobro ponaæanje donosi milost, a put je nevjernih ljudi tvrdi kao kamen. 16 Pametan çovjek çini sve promiæljeno, a luåak se diçi svojom ludoæøu. 17 Bezboœan glasnik pada u nesreøu, a vjeran glasnik donosi spasenje. 18 Siromaætvo i sramota stignu onoga koji prezire ukor, a tko pazi na pouku, doåe do çasti. 19 Ispunjena je œelja slast srcu, a luåacima je mrsko kloniti se zla. 20 Druœi se s mudrima i bit øeæ mudar; a tko se druœi s luåacima, zlo øe proøi. 21 Grjeænike progoni nesreøa, a pravednicima se vraøa dobrim. 22 Dobar çovjek ostavlja unucima baætinu, a

Every wise woman builds her house, but the foolish pulls it down with her hands. 2 He who walks in his uprightness fears the LORD, but he who is perverse in his ways despises him. 3 In the mouth of a fool is a rod of pride, but the lips of the wise will preserve them. 4 Where no oxen are, the trough is clean; but much increase comes by the strength of an ox. 5 A faithful witness does not lie, but a false witness will utter lies. 6 A scoffer seeks wisdom and does not find it, but knowledge is easy to him who understands. 7 Go from the presence of a foolish man, when you do not perceive in him the lips of knowledge. 8 The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way, but the folly of fools is deceit. 9 Fools mock at sin, but among the upright there is favor. 10 The heart knows its own bitterness, and a stranger does not share its joy. 11 The house of the wicked will be overthrown, but the tent of the upright will flourish. 12 There is a way which seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death. 13 Even in laughter the heart may sorrow, and the end of mirth may be grief. 14 The backslider in heart will be filled with his own ways, but a good man will be satisfied from above. 15 The simple believes every word, but the prudent man considers well his steps. 16 A wise man fears and departs from evil, but a fool rages and is self-confident. 17 He who is quick-tempered acts foolishly, and a man of wicked intentions is hated. 18 The simple inherit folly, but the prudent are crowned with knowledge. 19 The evil will bow before the good, and the wicked at the gates of the righteous. 20 The poor man is hated even by his own neighbor, but the rich has many friends. 21 He who despises his neighbor sins; but he who has mercy on the poor, happy is he. 22 Do they not go astray who devise evil? but mercy and truth belong to those who devise good. 23 In all labor there is profit, but idle chatter leads only to poverty. 24 The crown of the wise is their riches, but the foolishness of fools is folly. 25 A true witness delivers souls, but a deceitful witness speaks lies. 26 In the fear of the LORD there is strong confidence, and his children will have a place of refuge. 27 The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to avoid the snares of death. 28 In a multitude of people is a king’s honor, but in the lack of people is the downfall of a prince. 29 He who is slow to wrath has great understanding, but he who is impulsive exalts folly. 30 A sound heart is life to the body, but envy is rottenness to the bones. 31 He who oppresses the poor reproaches his Maker, but he who honors him has mercy on the needy.

Mudrost je pred ludoæøu

Mudra œena sagradi sebi kuøu, a luda ju razgraåuje vlastitim rukama. 2 Tko radi poæteno, boji se Gospodina; a tko ide stranputicom, prezire ga. 3 U ustima je bezumnika prut za oholost njegovu, a çovjeku mudromu usne su njegove zaætita. 4 Gdje nema volova, nema œita, a obilna je ljetina od snage volovske. 5 Istinit svjedok ne laœe, a laœni svjedok iznosi laœi. 6 Podsmjevaç traœi mudrost, ali uzalud, a razumnomu je lako naøi znanje. 7 Idi od bezumnika, jer ne çujeæ nikakve pametne rijeçi. 8 U tom je mudrost pametnoga da pazi na svoj put, a stranputica je ludost luåaka. 9 Luåacima je grijeh æala, a meåu pravednima je dobar sporazum. 10 Srce samo pozna svoju vlastitu bol, u njegovu radost ne umijeæa se stranac. 11 Dom bezboœnika øe propasti, a æator øe pravednika procvasti. 12 Neki se put uçini çovjeku ravan, a kraj su mu staze smrti. 13 I kod smijeha moœe se srce œalostiti, a veselju je kraj œalost. 14 Za œivljenje svoje prima nepokornik plaøu, a tako i çovjek dobar za svoja djela. 15 Lud vjeruje svakoj rijeçi, a pametan pazi na korake svoje. 16 Mudar çovjek ima strahopoætovanje i kloni se zla, a lud ide preko toga i osjeøa se sigurnim. 17 Çovjek nagao uçini ludost, a razborit je strpljiv. 18 Luåaci ostaju u ludosti svojoj, a mudri se kite znanjem. 19 Pred dobrima zli se moraju prignuti, i bezboœnici moraju stajati na vratima pravednika. 20 I svojem prijatelju mrzak je siromah, a mnogo ih je koji ljube bogataæa. 21 Tko prezirno postupa sa svojim bliœnjima, grijeæi; blagoslovljen je onaj koji se smiluje siromahu. 22 Ne idu li stranputicom koji snuju zlo? A koji misle na dobro, œanju ljubav i vjernost. 23 U svakom radu ima dobitka, a puste rijeçi donose samo gubitak. 24 Kruna je mudrih bogatstvo njihovo, a ludost luåaka ostaje ludost. 25 Izbavitelj je œivota istiniti svjedok, a tko iskazuje laœi, kvaritelj je. 26 U strahu je Gospodinovu pouzdanje jakomu i djeci njegovoj pruœa zaætitu. 27 Strah je Gospodinov izvor œivotu, on pomaœe izbjeøi zamkama smrti, 28 Na mnoætvu naroda poçiva slava kralju; pad je vladaru kad nema ljudi. 29 Tko je spor u srdœbi pokazuje mnogo mudrosti, a tko je srdit poçini ludost za ludoæøu. 30 Œivot je tijelu srce mirno, a strast je kao gnjileœ u kostima. 31 Tko pritiæçe siromaha, huli na Stvoritelja nje-

A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. 2 The tongue of the wise uses knowledge rightly, but the mouth of fools pours forth foolishness. 3 The eyes of the LORD are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good. 4 A wholesome tongue is a tree of life, but perverseness in it breaks the spirit. 5 A fool despises his father’s instruction, but he who receives reproof is prudent. 6 In the house of the righteous there is much treasure, but in the revenue of the wicked is trouble. 7 The lips of the wise disperse knowledge, but the heart of the fool does not do so. 8 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, but the prayer of the upright is his delight. 9 The way of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, but he loves him who follows righteousness. 10 Harsh correction is for him who forsakes the way, and he who hates reproof will die. 11 Hell and Destruction are before the LORD; so how much more the hearts of the sons of men. 12 A scoffer does not love one who reproves him, nor will he go to the wise. 13 A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance, but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken. 14 The heart of him who has understanding seeks knowledge, but the mouth of fools feeds on foolishness. 15 All the days of the afflicted are evil, but he who is of a merry heart has a continual feast. 16 Better is a little with the fear of the LORD, than great treasure with trouble. 17 Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a fatted calf with hatred. 18 A wrathful man stirs up strife, but he who is slow to anger allays contention. 19 The way of the slothful man is like a hedge of thorns, but the way of the upright is a highway. 20 A wise son makes a father glad, but a foolish man despises his mother. 21 Folly is joy to him who is destitute of discernment, but a man of understanding walks uprightly. 22 Without counsel, plans go awry, but in the multitude of counselors they are established. 23 A man has joy by the answer of his mouth, and a word spoken in due season, how good it is! 24 The way of life winds upward for the wise, that he may turn away from hell below. 25 The LORD will destroy the house of the proud, but he will establish the boundary of the widow. 26 The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the LORD, but the words of the pure are pleasant. 27 He who is greedy for gain troubles his own house, but he who hates bribes will live. 28 The heart of the righteous studies how to answer, but the mouth of the wicked pours forth evil. 29 The LORD is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous. 30 The light of the eyes rejoices the heart, and a good report makes the bones healthy.

Mudrost dobiva, ludost gubi

Odgovor blag utiæava gnjev, i rijeç uvredljiva podiœe srdœbu. 2 Jezik mudroga govori mudrost, a usta luåaka prosipaju ludost. 3 Na svakom su mjestu oçi Gospodinove, gledaju zle i dobre. 4 Blag je jezik drvo œivota, a pokvarenost njegova zadaje srcu rane. 5 Bezumnik se ruga pouci svojega oca, a tko prima opomenu, radi pametno. 6 U kuøi je pravednikovoj bogata zaliha, a u dohodku je bezboœnikovom rasip. 7 Usne mudrih ljudi siju znanje, a srce je bezboœnika naopako. 8 Œrtva je bezboœnika mrska Gospodinu, a molitva pravednika mu je ugodna. 9 Œivot je bezboœnikov mrzak Gospodinu, a ljubi onoga koji teœi za pravednoæøu. 10 Oætra kazna çeka onoga koji skrene s pravoga puta, a propadne onaj tko mrzi opomenu. 11 Ponor svijeta mrtvih stoji otvoren pred Gospodinom, koliko viæe srce ljudi. 12 Podsmjevaç ne ljubi onog tko ga kori, on se ne druœi s mudrima. 13 Veselo srce razvedri lice, tuga u srcu pritisne duh. 14 Srce razumnoga çovjeka teœi za znanjem; usta luåaka snuju ludost. 15 Svi su dani potlaçenoga œalosni, tko je dobre volje, drœi stalnu gozbu. 16 Bolje je malo sa strahom Boœjim, negoli veliko blago s nemirom. 17 Bolje je jelo od zelja gdje je ljubav nego vol ugojeni gdje je mrœnja. 18 Çovjek œestok izaziva svaåu, a strpljiv utiæava svaåu. 19 Staza je lijençine kao pokrov od trnja, a put je pravednikov dobro izravnan. 20 Mudar je sin radost ocu, çovjek lud prezire svoju majku. 21 Ludost je bezumniku veselje, razuman çovjek ide pravim putom. 22 Gdje nema savjetovanja, ne uspiju naumi, gdje je mnogo savjetnika, uspiju. 23 Svaki se raduje zgodnim odgovorom svojih usta, rijeç u pravo vrijeme–kako je dragocjena. 24 Put œivota za razumnoga ide gore, da izmakne carstvu mrtvih dolje. 25 Gospodin razara kuøu oholima, a postavlja meåu udovici. 26 Mrske su Gospodinu namisli zlobne, a rijeçi dobrostive rado çuje. 27 Tko steçe nepravedan dobitak, razara svoju kuøu; komu se gadi mito, œivjet øe mirno. 28 Srce pravednikovo pomisli æto øe odgovoriti, a usta bezboœnika izbacuju zlobe. 29 Gospodin je daleko od bezboœnika, a molitvu pravednika usliæa. 30 Mio pogled razveseli srce, vesela vijest oœivi kosti.

The preparations of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue is from the LORD. 2 All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, but the LORD weighs the spirits. 3 Commit your works to the LORD, and your thoughts will be established. 4 The LORD has made all things for himself, Yes, even the wicked for the day of doom. 5 Everyone who is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD; though they join forces, none will go unpunished. 6 In mercy and truth atonement is provided for iniquity; and by the fear of the LORD one departs from evil. 7 When a man’s ways please the LORD, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him. 8 Better is a little with righteousness, than vast revenues without justice. 9 A man’s heart plans his way, but the LORD directs his steps. 10 Even though divination is on the lips of the king, his mouth must not transgress in judgment. 11 A just weight and balance are the LORD’s; all the weights in the bag are his work. 12 It is an abomination for kings to commit wickedness, for a throne is established by righteousness. 13 Righteous lips are the delight of kings, and they love him who speaks what is right. 14 As messengers of death is the king’s wrath, but a wise man will appease it. 15 In the light of the king’s face is life, and his favor is like a cloud of the latter rain. 16 How much better it is to get wisdom than gold! And to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver. 17 The highway of the upright is to depart from evil; he who keeps his way preserves his soul. 18 Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. 19 Better to be of a humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud. 20 He who heeds the word wisely will find good, and whoever trusts in the LORD, happy is he. 21 The wise in heart will be called prudent, and sweetness of the lips increases learning. 22 Understanding is a wellspring of life to him who has it. but the correction of fools is folly. 23 The heart of the wise teaches his mouth, and adds learning to his lips. 24 Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the bones. 25 There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death. 26 The person who labors, labors for himself, for his hungry mouth drives him on. 27 An ungodly man digs up evil, and it is on his lips like a burning fire. 28 A perverse man sows strife, and a whisperer separates the best of friends. 29 A violent man entices his neighbor, and leads him in a way that is not good. 30 He winks his eye to devise perverse things; he purses his lips and brings about evil. 31 The silver-haired head is a crown of glory, if it is found in the way of righteousness.

Providnost Boœja koja sve vidi

Çovjek se dobro spremi u srcu, a od Gospodina dolazi æto jezik izgovori. 2 Çovjeku su çisti svi njegovi putovi, ali Gospodin ispituje duhove. 3 Predaj Gospodinu svoja djela, i naumi øe tvoji uspjeti. 4 Za svrhu svoju sve je Gospodin stvorio, pa i bezboœnika za dan nesreøe. 5 Gospodinu je mrzak svaki oholica; ruku na ovo. Bez kazne neøe iziøi. 6 Vjeœbanjem u vjernoj ljubavi çisti se krivnja zlodjela, strahom Gospodinovim izbjegne se zlu. 7 Ako je çiji œivot mio Gospodinu, onda on pomiri s njim i njegove neprijatelje. 8 Bolje je malo s pravdom, nego velik dohodak s nepravdom, 9 Çovjeçje srce uredi sebi svoj put, a Gospodin upravlja korake njegove. 10 Sud je Boœji na usnama kraljevim, na sudu ne smiju sagrijeæiti njegova usta. 11 Mjerila i utezi pripadaju Gospodinu; njegovo su djelo sva teœina vreøe. 12 Bezboœno çiniti neka je gadno kraljevima, jer samo po pravednosti ima prijestolje svoj opstanak. 13 Istinite usne pridobijaju kraljeve, tko govori iskreno, oni vole onoga koji govori pravo. 14 Gnjev je kraljev kao glasnik smrti, ali ga mudar çovjek ublaœi. 15 U prijaznom kraljevu pogledu je œivot; milost je njegova kao oblak lijepe kiæe. 16 Mudrost steøi daleko je bolje nego zlato, i dobiti razboritost vrednije je nego srebro. 17 Put je pravednih kloniti se zla; tko pazi na svoj put, çuva svoj œivot. 18 Oholost dolazi pred pad i oholi duh pred propast. 19 Bolje je biti ponizan s malenima nego dijeliti plijen s oholima. 20 Tko pazi na opomenu, taj dolazi do sreøe; blagoslovljen je onaj koji se uzda u Gospodina. 21 Tko je mudra srca, slavi se kao razuman; i prijazna rijeç promiçe pouku. 22 Izvor je œivotu mudrost za one koji je posjeduju, a karanje luåaka ludost je. 23 Razum mudroga uçini razboritim njegova usta i umnoœava pouku na njegovim usnama. 24 Prijazne su rijeçi med samotok; slatke duæi, zdrave tijelu. 25 Gdjekoji se put uçini çovjeku ravan, a ipak su to napokon putovi k smrti. 26 Glad poslenika radi za njega, jer ga nagone njegova usta. 27 Çovjek nevaljao iskopava samo nesreøu; na njegovim usnama gori kao oganj æto pali. 28 Çovjek himben podiœe nemir; klevetnik razdvaja pouzdane prijatelje. 29 Silovit çovjek traœi da zaludi svojega prijatelja i da ga zavede na zao put. 30 Tko namiguje oçima, taj hoøe izmisliti spletke; tko stiæøe usne, poçinio je zlo. 31 Sijeda je kosa çasna kruna, postigne se pravednim œivotom.

Better is a dry morsel with quietness, than a house full of feasting with strife. 2 A wise servant will rule over a son who causes shame, and will share an inheritance among the brothers. 3 The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, but the LORD tests the hearts. 4 An evildoer gives heed to false lips; a liar listens eagerly to a spiteful tongue. 5 He who mocks the poor reproaches his Maker; he who is glad at calamity will not go unpunished. 6 Children’s children are the crown of old men, and the glory of children is their father. 7 Excellent speech is not becoming to a fool, much less lying lips to a prince. 8 A present is a precious stone in the eyes of its possessor; wherever he turns, he prospers. 9 He who covers a transgression seeks love, but he who repeats a matter separates the best of friends. 10 Reproof is more effective for a wise man than a hundred blows on a fool. 11 An evil man seeks only rebellion; therefore a cruel messenger will be sent against him. 12 Let a man meet a bear robbed of her cubs, rather than a fool in his folly. 13 Whoever rewards evil for good, evil will not depart from his house. 14 The beginning of strife is like releasing water; therefore stop contention before a quarrel starts. 15 He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the just, both of them alike are an abomination to the LORD. 16 Why is there in the hand of a fool the purchase price of wisdom, since he has no heart for it? 17 A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. 18 A man devoid of understanding shakes hands in a pledge, and becomes surety for his friend. 19 He who loves transgression loves strife, and he who exalts his gate seeks destruction. 20 He who has a deceitful heart finds no good, and he who has a perverse tongue falls into evil. 21 He who begets a scoffer does so to his sorrow, and the father of a fool has no joy. 22 A merry heart does good, like medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones. 23 A wicked man accepts a bribe behind the back to pervert the ways of justice. 24 Wisdom is in the sight of him who has understanding, but the eyes of a fool are on the ends of the earth. 25 A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her who bore him. 26 Also, to punish the righteous is not good, nor to strike princes for their uprightness. 27 He who has knowledge spares his words, and a man of understanding is of a calm spirit. 28 Even a fool is counted wise when he holds his peace; when he shuts his lips, he is considered perceptive.

Bolji je komad suha kruha s mirom, nego kuøa puna œrtvenog mesa sa svaåom. 2 Razuman sluga bit øe gospodar nad sinom nevaljalim i s braøom øe dijeliti baætinu. 3 Talionica je za srebro, peø za zlato, a Gospodin iskuæava srca. 4 Zloçinac pazi na laœne usne, laœljivac sluæa pokvarene jezike. 5 Tko se ruga siromahu, grdi njegova Stvoritelja, tko se raduje nesreøi, ne ostane sam bez kazne. 6 Kruna su starcima njihovi unuci, slava djeci njihovi roditelji. 7 Bezumniku ne pristaje mudra rijeç, a joæ manje plemenitu çovjeku laœna rijeç. 8 Poklon je potkupni kao çarobni kamen onomu koji ga daje; kamo se god okrene, ima uspjeh. 9 Tko pokriva prijestupe, traœi ljubav; tko ih dalje pripovijeda, razdvaja pouzdane prijatelje. 10 Ukor djeluje na razumnoga viæe negoli stotinu udaraca na bezumnika. 11 Zloçinac ide samo za pobunom, ali se ljuti glasnik æalje na njega. 12 Bolje je da çovjeka susretne medvjedica kojoj su ugrabili mlade nego luåak u svojoj ludosti. 13 Tko vraøa zlo za dobro, njegovu kuøu neøe ostaviti nesreøa. 14 Svaåu zametnuti jest kao poplavu pustiti, zato prije nego se zametne, proåi se rasprave. 15 Tko oslobodi krivoga i tko osudi pravoga, obojica su odurnost Gospodinu. 16 Æto øe novci u ruci bezumnikovoj da kupi mudrost, kad ne mari za nju? 17 Prijatelj uvijek ima ljubav, a u nevolji postaje brat. 18 Bezuman je çovjek koji daje ruku i jamçi za prijatelja svojega. 19 Tko ljubi svaåu, ljubi grijeh; tko visoko gradi svoja vrata, traœi pad. 20 Tko je laœna srca, ne postiœe sreøe; tko je laœljiva jezika, pada u nesreøu. 21 Tko ima luda sina, toga mori briga, otac luåakov nema radosti. 22 Srce veselo pospjeæuje ozdravljenje, a potiæten duh suæi kosti. 23 Bezboœnik prima poklone ispod ruke da zavije staze pravdi. 24 Razuman ima pred oçima mudrost, a oçi bezumnika lutaju do na kraj zemlje. 25 Lud sin briga je svojem ocu i gorka bol svojoj majci. 26 Zlo je kazniti pravednika, plemenite ljude udarati protiv svakoga je prava. 27 Tko usteœe svoje rijeçi, razborit je, razuman je hladnokrvan çovjek. 28 I bezumnik, kad æuti, moœe vrijediti kao mudar i kao razuman i kad zatvori svoje usne.

Better is the poor who walks in his integrity than one who is perverse in his lips, and is a

fool. 2 Also it is not good for a soul to be without knowledge, and he sins who hastens with his feet. 3 The foolishness of a man twists his way, and his heart frets against the LORD. 4 Wealth makes many friends, but the poor is separated from his friend. 5 A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who speaks lies will not escape. 6 Many entreat the favor of the nobility, and every man is a friend to one who gives gifts. 7 All the brothers of the poor hate him; how much more do his friends go far from him! He may pursue them with words, yet they abandon him. 8 He who gets wisdom loves his own soul; he who keeps understanding will find good. 9 A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who speaks lies shall perish. 10 Luxury is not fitting for a fool, much less for a servant to rule over princes. 11 The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger, and it is to his glory to overlook a transgression.

Poboœno siromaætvo, lijenost i ruglo

Siromah koji hodi u svojoj postojanosti bolji je nego onaj koji govori naopako i ludo. 2 Nedostatak u znanju nije dobro za duæu, a tko je prebrz zapadne u grijeh. 3 Vlastita ludost razara naume çovjeku, a ipak se njegovo srce gnjevi na Gospodina. 4 Bogatstvo pribavlja uvijek viæe prijatelja, a siromaha ostavlja prijatelj njegov. 5 Laœni svjedok ne izlazi bez kazne; tko govori laœ, ne izmakne sudu. 6 Mnogi traœe milost velikaæa i svaki je odan dareœljivu çovjeku. 7 Siromaha mrze sva njegova braøa; koliko se viæe udaljuju od njega njegovi prijatelji. Hlepi za rijeçima æto ne znaçe niæta. 8 Tko pribavi razboritost, ljubi svoj œivot; tko saçuva razum, nalazi sreøu. 9 Laœni svjedok ne izlazi bez kazne, tko govori laœ, propada. 10 Dobro œivljenje ne pristaje bezumniku, joæ manje sluzi da vlada vladarima. 11 Strpljivim çini çovjeka razboritost, çast mu je mimoiøi krivnje.

Wine is a mocker, intoxicating drink arouses brawling, and whoever is led astray by it is not

wise. 2 The wrath of a king is like the roaring of a lion; whoever provokes him to anger sins against his own life. 3 It is honorable for a man to stop striving, since any fool can start a quarrel. 4 The sluggard will not plow because of winter; therefore he will beg during the harvest and have nothing. 5 Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water, but a man of understanding will draw it out. 6 Most men will proclaim each his own goodness, but who can find a faithful man? 7 The righteous man walks in his integrity; his children are blessed after him. 8 A king who sits on the throne of judgment scatters all evil with his eyes. 9 Who can say, “I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin”? 10 Diverse weights and diverse measures, they are both alike, an abomination to the LORD. 11 Even a child is known by his deeds, by whether what he does is pure and right. 12 The hearing ear and the seeing eye, the LORD has made both of them. 13 Do not love sleep, lest you come to poverty; open your eyes, and you will be satisfied with bread. 14 It is good for nothing,” cries the buyer; but when he has gone his way, then he boasts. 15 There is gold and a multitude of rubies, but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel. 16 Take the garment of one who is surety for a

Proœdrljivost, prijevara, naprasitost

The king’s heart is in the hand of the LORD, like the rivers of water; he turns it wherever he wishes. 2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the LORD weighs the hearts. 3 To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice. 4 A haughty look, a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked are sin. 5 The plans of the diligent lead surely to plenty, but those of everyone who is hasty, surely to poverty. 6 Getting treasures by a lying tongue is the fleeting fantasy of those who seek death. 7 The violence of the wicked will destroy them, because they refuse to do justice. 8 The way of a guilty man is perverse; but as for the pure, his work is right. 9 It is better to dwell in a corner of a housetop, than in a house shared with a contentious woman. 10 The soul of the wicked desires evil; his neighbor finds no favor in his eyes. 11 When the scoffer is punished, the simple is made wise; but when the wise is instructed, he receives knowledge. 12 The righteous God wisely considers the house of the wicked, overthrowing the wicked for their wickedness. 13 Whoever shuts his ears to the cry of the poor will also cry himself and not be heard. 14 A gift in secret pacifies anger, and a bribe behind the back, strong wrath. 15 It is a joy for the just to do justice, but destruction will come to the workers of iniquity. 16 A man who wanders from the way of understanding will rest in the congregation of the dead. 17 He who loves pleasure will be a poor man; he who loves wine and oil will not be rich. 18 The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous, and the unfaithful for the upright.

Neograniçena Boœja vlast nad çovjeçjim srcima

Kraljevo srce je u ruci Gospodinovoj, kao tok rijeke, on ga okreçe kamo god hoøe. 2 Sve svoje putove moœe çovjek drœati pravima, ali je Gospodin koji ispituje srca. 3 Çiniti pravo i pravednost, milije je Gospodinu nego œrtva zaklanica. 4 Ohole oçi i naduta srca, to je svjetiljka bezboœnika, ali je grijeh. 5 Namisli marljiva çovjeka donose dobit, ali tko se odviæe œuri, trpi samo ætetu. 6 Blago steçeno jezikom laœljivim, ispraznost je onima koji traœe smrt. 7 Bezboœnike odnese vlastito nasilje, jer neøe çiniti æto je pravedno. 8 Zapleten je put çovjeka krivca, a djelo çista çovjeka je pravedno. 9 Bolje je stanovati na krovu u kojem uglu nego zajedno biti u jednoj kuøi sa svadljivom œenom. 10 Duæa bezboœnikova œeli zlo, njegov bliœnji ne nalazi milosråa u njemu. 11 Kad se kazni podsmjevaç, onda bezumnik mudruje; kad se mudrog pouçava, on prima znanje. 12 Na kuøu bezboœnika pazi Svepravedni; bezboœnike on baca u nesreøu. 13 Tko svoje uho zatvara na jadikovanje siromaha, njemu se neøe odgovoriti kad zaviçe. 14 Dar u tajnosti utiæava gnjev, poklon u njedrima najœeæøu srdœbu. 15 Radost je pravedniku kad se çini æto je pravo, a zloçincima je strah. 16 Çovjek koji zaåe s puta razboritosti brzo øe poçinuti u carstvu sjena. 17 Tko rado œivi u veseljima, u siromaætvo øe pasti; tko voli vino i ulje, ne obogati se. 18 Otkup za poboœnike jest bezboœnik; na mjesto pravednih stupi zloçinac. 19 Lakæe je stanovati u pustinji nego sa œenom

-731Proverbs Mudre Izreke 19 It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a svadljivom i ljutitom. 20 Dragocjeno je blago i ulje u stanu mudroga, contentious and angry woman. 20 There is desirable treasure, and oil in the dwelling a çovjek bezuman ga rastepe. 21 Tko teœi za pravdom i milosråem, postigne of the wise, but a foolish man squanders it. 21 He who follows righteousness and mercy finds œivot, pravdu i çast. 22 U grad junaka uspne se mudri, sruæi bedem life, righteousness and honor. 22 A wise man scales the city of the mighty, and u koji su se uzdali. 23 Tko çuva svoja usta i jezik svoj, çuva svoj brings down the trusted stronghold. 23 Whoever guards his mouth and tongue keeps his œivot od nevolje. 24 Ohol, nadut çovjek–nazvan podsmjevaç– soul from troubles. 24 A proud and haughty man–”Scoffer” is his name; radi u neizmjernoj obijesti. 25 Lijençini donosi smrt njegova pohota, jer he acts with arrogant pride. 25 The desire of the slothful kills him, for his hands njegove ruke bjeœe od posla. 26 Cijeli dan zavidno œeli, a pravednik daje i ne refuse to labor. 26 He covets greedily all day long, but the righteous ækrtari. 27 Odvratna je œrtva bezboœnika, osobito ako gives and does not spare. 27 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination; how ju prinose u pogrdnoj namjeri. 28 Laœni svjedok propada; çovjek, koji sluæa, much more when he brings it with wicked intent! 28 A false witness shall perish, but the man who smije uvijek opet govoriti. 29 Bezboœnik drsko drœi, a tko je pravedan pazi hears him will speak endlessly. 29 A wicked man hardens his face, but as for the na svoj put. 30 Nema ni mudrosti, ni razboritosti, ni savjeta upright, he establishes his way. 30 There is no wisdom or understanding or counsel naprema Gospodinu. 31 Konj se oprema za dan boja, ali pobjeda against the LORD. 31 The horse is prepared for the day of battle, but dolazi od Gospodina. deliverance is of the LORD.

A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, loving favor rather than silver and gold. 2 The rich and the poor have this in common, the LORD is the maker of them all. 3 A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself, but the simple pass on and are punished. 4 By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches and honor and life. 5 Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse; he who guards his soul will be far from them. 6 Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it. 7 The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender. 8 He who sows iniquity will reap sorrow, and the rod of his anger will fail. 9 He who has a bountiful eye will be blessed, for he gives of his bread to the poor. 10 Cast out the scoffer, and contention will leave; yes, strife and reproach will cease. 11 He who loves purity of heart and has grace on his lips, the king will be his friend. 12 The eyes of the LORD preserve knowledge, but he overthrows the words of the faithless. 13 The slothful man says, “There is a lion outside! I shall be slain in the streets!” 14 The mouth of an immoral woman is a deep pit; he who is abhorred of the LORD will fall there. 15 Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of correction will drive it far from him. 16 He who oppresses the poor to increase his riches, and he who gives to the rich, will surely come to poverty. 17 Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise, and apply your heart to my knowledge; 18 for it is a pleasant thing if you keep them within you; let them all be fixed upon your lips, 19 So that your trust may be in the LORD; I have instructed you today, even you. 20 Have I not written to you excellent things of counsels and knowledge, 21 That I may make you know the certainty of the words of truth, that you may answer words of truth to those who send to you?

When you sit down to eat with a ruler, Consider carefully what is before you; 2 and put a knife to your throat if you are a man given to appetite. 3 Do not desire his delicacies, for they are deceptive food. 4 Do not overwork to be rich; because of your own understanding, cease! 5 Will you set your eyes on that which is not? For riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away like an eagle toward heaven. 6 Do not eat the bread of a miser, nor desire his delicacies; 7 for as he thinks in his heart, so is he. “Eat and drink!” he says to you, but his heart is not with you. 8 The morsel you have eaten, you will vomit up, and waste your pleasant words. 9 Do not speak in the hearing of a fool, for he will despise the wisdom of your words. 10 Do not remove the ancient landmark, nor enter the fields of the fatherless; 11 for their Redeemer is mighty; he will plead their cause against you. 12 Apply your heart to instruction, and your ears to words of knowledge. 13 Do not withhold correction from a child, for if you beat him with a rod, he will not die. 14 You shall beat him with a rod, and deliver his soul from hell. 15 My son, if your heart is wise, my heart will rejoice– indeed, I myself; 16 Yes, my inmost being will rejoice when your lips speak right things. 17 Do not let your heart envy sinners, but in the fear of the LORD continue all day long; 18 For surely there is a hereafter, and your hope will not be cut off. 19 Hear, my son, and be wise; and guide your heart in the way. 20 Do not mix with winebibbers, or with gluttonous eaters of meat; 21 for the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty, and drowsiness will clothe a man with rags. 22 Listen to your father who begot you, and do not despise your mother when she is old. 23 Buy the truth, and do not sell it, also wisdom and instruction and understanding. 24 The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice, and he who begets a wise child will delight in him. 25 Let your father and your mother be glad, and let her who bore you rejoice. 26 My son, give me your heart, and let your eyes observe my ways. 27 For a harlot is a deep pit, and a seductress is a

Kad sjediæ za stolom kod kojega vladara, pazi dobro tko je ispred tebe; 2 pa stavi sebi noœ na grlo ako imaæ prevelik tek. 3 Nemoj se polakomiti na poslastice njegove, jer su laœna hrana. 4 Ne muçi se da steçeæ bogatstvo, proåi se takva nauma. 5 Jedva si ga opazio i veø ga lode, jer napravi sebi krila kao u orla koji leti k nebu. 6 Ne jedi kod onoga koji je zavidan, nemoj poœeljeti njegove poslastice. 7 Jer on misli samo na sebe. “Jedi i pij,” govori ti, ali njegovo srce nije s tobom. 8 Moraæ opet izbljuvati zalogaj æto si ga pojeo; svoje ljubazne rijeçi potroæio si uzalud. 9 Bezumniku ne govori niæta na uho, jer on samo prezire mudre tvoje rijeçi. 10 Ne pomiçi prastare meåe, ne prodiri u njivu siroçadi, 11 jer je jak njihov odvjetnik, branit øe od tebe njihovu stvar. 12 Podloœi svoje srce nauku, svoje uæi rijeçima razumnim. 13 Ne ætedi kazne svojem djetetu, jer istuçeæ li ga æibom, neøe od toga umrijeti. 14 Tuçeæ ga æibom, ali ga izbavljaæ tako od podzemnoga svijeta. 15 Moj sine, ako bude mudro tvoje srce, veselim se i ja od srca, 16 i nutrina moja kliçe od radosti kad tvoje usne govore æto je pravo. 17 Tvoje srce neka ne zavidi grjeænicima, nego neka uvijek bude u strahu pred Gospodinom. 18 Zaista, ima buduønost i nada se tvoja neøe osramotiti. 19 Sluæaj, moj sine, i budi mudar i okreni svoje srce ravno na pravi put. 20 Ne idi s pijanicama i izjelicama uz meso. 21 Jer pijanica i izjelica osiromaæe, i pospanac se odijeva u tralje. 22 Sluæaj oca koji ti je dao œivot, i ne preziri svoju majku kad ostari. 23 Steci istinu i ne prodaji je, mudrost, pouku i razboritost. 24 Veoma se raduje otac dobroga sina; komu se rodi mudro dijete, smije se veseliti. 25 Neka se vesele tvoj otac i tvoja majka, i neka se raduje ona koja te je rodila. 26 Daj mi svoje srce, moj sine, i neka tvoje oçi gledaju na moje putove. 27 Jer je bludnica duboka jama, tuåa œena tijesan studenac. 28 Ona i zasjeda kao lupeœ i umnoœava broj ne-

When shall I awake, that I may seek another drink?”

Do not be envious of evil men, nor desire to be with them; 2 for their heart devises violence, and their lips talk of troublemaking. 3 Through wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established; 4 by knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches. 5 A wise man is strong, yes, a man of knowledge increases strength; 6 for by wise counsel you will wage your own war, and in a multitude of counselors there is safety. 7 Wisdom is too lofty for a fool; he does not open his mouth in the gate. 8 He who plots to do evil will be called a schemer. 9 The devising of foolishness is sin, and the scoffer is an abomination to men. 10 If you faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small. 11 Deliver those who are drawn toward death, and hold back those stumbling to the slaughter. 12 If you say, “Surely we did not know this,” does not he who weighs the hearts consider it? he who keeps your soul, does he not know it? and will he not render to each man according to his deeds? 13 My son, eat honey because it is good, and the honeycomb which is sweet to your taste; 14 so shall the knowledge of wisdom be to your soul; if you have found it, there is a prospect, and your hope will not be cut off. 15 Do not lie in wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; do not plunder his resting place; 16 for a righteous man may fall seven times and rise again, but the wicked shall fall by calamity. 17 Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, and do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles; 18 lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him. 19 Do not fret because of evil doers, nor be envious of the wicked; 20 for there will be no prospect for the evil man; the lamp of the wicked will be put out. 21 My son, fear the LORD and the king; do not associate with those given to change; 22 for their calamity will rise suddenly, and who knows the ruin those two can bring? 23 These things also belong to the wise: It is not good to show partiality in judgment. 24 He who says to the wicked, “You are righteous,” him the people will curse; nations will abhor him. 25 But those who rebuke the wicked will have delight,

Opomene na strpljivost i pomirljivost

Ne zavidi zlim ljudima, ne œeli se s njima druœiti. 2 Jer o nasilju misli njihovo srce, njihove usne govore samo o zlu. 3 Mudroæøu se gradi kuøa, razboritoæøu se utvråuje; 4 znanjem se pune odaje svakojakim dragocjenim i finim bogatstvom. 5 Mudri moœe viæe nego jaki, razboriti viæe nego vrlo krepki. 6 Jer mudrim mjerama ratovat øeæ uspjeæno, i pobjeda je ondje gdje je radio velik broj savjetnika. 7 Previsoka je bezumniku mudrost, zato on ne otvara usta na vijeøanjima. 8 Tko ide za tim da smiælja zlo, toga zovu spletkar. 9 Osjeøanje i miæljenje bezumnikovo jest grijeh; podrugljivac je mrzak ljudima. 10 Pokaœeæ li se slab kad ti je dobro, onda je tvoja snaga malena i u vrijeme nevolje. 11 Izbavljaj one koje vuku u smrt, oslobodi one koje vode da ih pogube. 12 Htjedneæ li reøi: “Nismo za to niæta znali”: zaista, koji ispituje srca, vidi to, i koji motri tvoju duæu, zna to; on plaøa çovjeku po njegovim djelima. 13 Jedi med, moj sine, jer je zdrav, i med samotok sladak je tvojem grlu. 14 Tako cijeni i za svoju duæu mudrost; ako si je stekao, onda ima za tebe buduønosti i nada se tvoja ne øe osramotiti. 15 Ne vrebaj, bezboœniçe, oko stana pravednikova, ne ruæi mu postelju. 16 Jer sedam puta padne pravednik i opet ustane, a bezboœnici propadaju u nesreøi. 17 Kad padne tvoj neprijatelj, ne veseli se i ne kliçi kad se on spotakne, 18 da to ne vidi Gospodin, i da mu se to ne svidi i on odvrati svoju srdœbu od njega. 19 Ne srdi se zbog zloçinaca, ne œesti se zbog bezboœnika. 20 Jer zao çovjek nema buduønosti, i svjetiljka se bezboœnika ugasi. 21 Moj sine, boj se Gospodina i kralja, i ne mijeæaj se s buntovnicima, 22 jer najedanput provali nesreøa njihova unutra, i iznenada propast obojice. 23 I ove priçe potjeçu od mudrih: Pristranost u bilo kojoj pravnoj stvari nije dobra. 24 “Ti imaæ pravo”, njega proklinju ljudi, njega

These also are proverbs of Solomon which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied: 2 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the glory of kings is to search out a matter. 3 As the heavens for height and the earth for depth, so the heart of kings is unsearchable. 4 Take away the dross from silver, and it will go to the silversmith for jewelry. 5 Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne will be established in righteousness. 6 Do not exalt yourself in the presence of the king, and do not stand in the place of great men; 7 For it is better that he say to you, “Come up here,” than that you should be put lower in the presence of the prince, whom your eyes have seen. 8 Do not go hastily to court; for what will you do in the end, when your neighbor has put you to shame? 9 Debate your case with your neighbor himself, and do not disclose the secret to another; 10 lest he who hears it expose your shame, and your reputation be ruined. 11 A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver. 12 Like an earring of gold and an ornament of fine gold is a wise reprover to an obedient ear. 13 Like the cold of snow in time of harvest is a faithful messenger to those who send him, for he refreshes the soul of his masters. 14 Whoever falsely boasts of giving is like clouds and wind without rain. 15 By long forbearance a ruler is persuaded, and a gentle tongue breaks a bone. 16 Have you found honey? Eat only as much as you need, lest you be filled with it and vomit. 17 Seldom set foot in your neighbor’s house, lest he become weary of you and hate you. 18 A man who bears false witness against his neighbor is like a club, a sword, and a sharp arrow. 19 Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a bad tooth and a foot out of joint. 20 Like one who takes away a garment in cold weather, and like vinegar on soda, is one who sings songs to a heavy heart. 21 If your enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink; 22 For so you will heap coals of fire on his head, and the LORD will reward you. 23 The north wind brings forth rain, and a backbiting tongue an angry countenance. 24 It is better to dwell in a corner of a housetop, than

Korist od razboritosti, æteta od hvaljenja

Ovo su priçe Salomonove koje su bile prepisane od ljudi Ezekije, Judina

kralja. 2 Slava je Boœja skrivati stvar; slava je kraljeva istraœivati stvar. 3 Kao visina nebesa i dubina zemlje tako je nedohvatljivo srce kraljeva. 4 Kad se odijele troske od srebra, onda uspije zlataru umjetnina. 5 Kad se odijeli bezboœnik od blizine kraljeve, onda se njegovo prijestolje utvrdi pravednoæøu. 6 Ne veliçaj se pred kraljem i ne sjedaj na mjesto velikaæa. 7 Jer je bolje da ti se rekne: “Pomakni se ovdje gore,” nego da ti kaœu da se pomakneæ dolje pred velikaæem koga tvoje oçi tu gledaju. 8 Æto si vidio vlastitim oçima, to ne iznosi prebrzo na raspravu, jer æto øeæ poslije çiniti ako te bliœnji sramotno opovrgne? 9 Raspravi vlastitu stvar svoju s protivnikom svojim, a tajne drugoga ne otkrivaj. 10 Inaçe bi zlo govorio o tebi tko to çuje i sramota tvoja ne bi iæçeznula nikada. 11 Kao zlatne jabuke na srebrnim zdjelama, takva je rijeç u pravo vrijeme izreçena. 12 Zlatan prsten i ures iz finoga zlata, takav je mudar koji opominje uho koje sluæa. 13 Kao o œetvi hladiti se snijegom, takav je vjeran glasnik onomu koji ga je poslao; on okrijepi duæu svojem gospodaru. 14 Oblaci i vjetar, a ipak nema kiæe, takav je çovjek koji se hvali darovima, a ne daje ih nikada. 15 Strpljivoæøu dade se ljutit çovjek nagovoriti; mekan jezik moœe slomiti kosti. 16 Jesi li naæao meda, jedi samo koliko ti je dosta, inaçe, ako se prejedeæ, izbljuvat øeæ ga. 17 Stavi svoju nogu samo rijetko kad u kuøu svojega bliœnjega, inaçe nasitit øe se tebe i zamrzit øe te. 18 Kao malj i maç i oætra strijela jest çovjek koji se protiv svojega bliœnjega iskaœe kao laœni svjedok. 19 Zub klimav i noga klecava, takvo je uzdanje u nevjernika u vrijeme nevolje. 20 Kao jedan koji skida haljinu na zimi, kao onaj koji lijeva ocat na salitru, takav je onaj koji pjeva pjesme œalosnomu srcu. 21 Gladuje li tvoj neprijatelj, nahrani ga kruhom, œeåa li, napoji ga vodom;

As snow in summer and rain in harvest, so honor is not fitting for a fool. 2 Like a flitting sparrow, like a flying swallow, so a curse without cause shall not alight. 3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the fool’s back. 4 Do not answer a fool according to his folly, lest you also be like him. 5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes. 6 He who sends a message by the hand of a fool cuts off his own feet and drinks violence. 7 Like the legs of the lame that hang limp is a proverb in the mouth of fools. 8 Like one who binds a stone in a sling is he who gives honor to a fool. 9 Like a thorn that goes into the hand of a drunkard is a proverb in the mouth of fools. 10 The great God who formed all things gives the fool his hire and the transgressor his wages. 11 As a dog returns to his own vomit, so a fool repeats his folly. 12 Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him. 13 The slothful man says, “There is a lion in the road! A fierce lion is in the streets!” 14 As a door turns on its hinges, so does the slothful turn on his bed. 15 The slothful man buries his hand in the bowl; it wearies him to bring it back to his mouth. 16 The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes than seven men who can answer sensibly. 17 He who passes by and meddles in a quarrel not his own is like one who takes a dog by the ears. 18 Like a madman who throws firebrands, arrows, and death, 19 is the man who deceives his neighbor, and says, “I was only joking!” 20 Where there is no wood, the fire goes out; and where there is no talebearer, strife ceases. 21 As charcoal is to burning coals, and wood to fire, so is a contentious man to kindle strife. 22 The words of a talebearer are like tasty trifles, and they go down into the inmost body. 23 Fervent lips with a wicked heart are like earthenware covered with silver dross. 24 He who hates, disguises it with his lips, and lays up deceit within himself; 25 when he speaks kindly, do not believe him, for there are seven abominations in his heart; 26 though his hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness will be revealed before the whole congregation. 27 Whoever digs a pit will fall into it, and he who rolls a stone will have it roll back on him. 28 A lying tongue hates those who are crushed by it,

Ludost, lijenost, laœljivost

Kao snijeg u ljeto, kao kiæa o œetvi, tako malo pristaje çast bezumniku. 2 Kao vrabac kad prhne, kao lastavica kad odleti, takva je kletva bezrazloœna i ne stigne. 3 Biç konju, uzda magarcu, a batina luåacima na leåa. 4 Ne odgovaraj luåaku po njegovoj ludosti, inaçe si njemu jednak. 5 Odgovori luåaku po ludosti njegovoj, inaçe on misli da je mudar. 6 Odsijeca sebi noge i pije zloçinstvo, tko æalje luåaka da mu poruku nosi. 7 Oslabljena vise stegna hromu çovjeku; tako je i u ustima bezumnika rijeç mudrosti bez koristi. 8 Kamen na praøku privezati, to je iskazati çast bezumniku. 9 Trn æto padne u ruku pijanomu, to je rijeç mudrosti u ustima bezumnika. 10 Veliki Bog koji je sve stvorio, muke zadaje kad plaøa bezumniku i prijestupniku. 11 Kao pas koji se vraøa na ono æto je izbljuvao, takav je luåak koji ponavlja svoju ludost. 12 Vidiæ li jednoga koji misli da je mudar; ima viæe nade za bezumnika nego za njega. 13 Lijençina govori: “Lav je na putu, lav je na ulicama.” 14 Kao æto se vrata okreøu na svojim stoœerima, tako lijençina na svojoj postelji. 15 Je li lijençina svoju ruku stavio u zdjelu, preteæko mu bude da je prinese k ustima. 16 Lijençina misli da je mudriji od sedmorice koji znaju odgovoriti razumno. 17 Tko za uæi hvata psa æto trçi mimo njega, takav je onaj koji se mijeæa u raspravu koja nije njegova. 18 Kao poludio çovjek koji baca ognjene baklje i smrtonosne strijele, 19 takav je çovjek koji prevari svojega bliœnjega i onda govori: “Samo sam se æalio.” 20 Gdje nestane drva, ugasi se oganj, i gdje nema klevetnika, prestane rasprava. 21 Kao æto ugljen sluœi za œeravicu, a drvo za oganj, tako svadljiv çovjek za prepirke. 22 Rijeçi su klevetnikove kao poslastica, one prodiru u nutrinu tijela. 23 Srebrna gleåa preko posuåa, to su usne ljubavlju uœeœene kod zlobna srca. 24 Usnama svojim pretvara se mrzitelj, a u svojem srcu nosi prijevaru. 25 Kad govori prijazno, ne vjeruj mu, jer je u njegovu srcu sedam grozota. 26 Ako se mrœnja i pokriva pretvaranjem, to se, ipak, zloba njezina otkriva u skupætini. 27 Tko drugima jamu kopa, sam padne u nju; tko valja kamen na druge, na njega se prevali.

-736Mudre Izreke 28 Jezik laœni mrzi one koje je satro; usta laskava poçine pogibiju.

Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth. 2 Let another man praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips. 3 A stone is heavy and sand is weighty, but a fool’s wrath is heavier than both of them. 4 Wrath is cruel and anger a torrent, but who is able to stand before jealousy? 5 Open rebuke is better than love carefully concealed. 6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend, but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful. 7 A satisfied soul loathes the honeycomb, but to a hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet. 8 Like a bird that wanders from its nest is a man who wanders from his place. 9 Ointment and perfume delight the heart, and the sweetness of a man’s friend does so by hearty counsel. 10 Do not forsake your own friend or your father’s friend, nor go to your brother’s house in the day of your calamity; For better is a neighbor nearby than a brother far away. 11 My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him who reproaches me. 12 A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself; the simple pass on and are punished. 13 Take the garment of him who is surety for a stranger, and hold it in pledge when he is surety for a seductress. 14 He who blesses his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it will be counted a curse to him. 15 A continual dripping on a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike; 16 whoever restrains her restrains the wind, and grasps oil with his right hand. 17 As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend. 18 Whoever keeps the fig tree will eat its fruit; so he who waits on his master will be honored. 19 As in water face reveals face, so a man’s heart reveals the man. 20 Hell and Destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied. 21 The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, and a man is valued by what others say of him. 22 Though you grind a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with crushed grain, yet his foolishness will not depart from him. 23 Be diligent to know the state of your flocks, and attend to your herds; 24 for riches are not forever, nor does a crown endure to all generations. 25 When the hay is removed, and the tender grass shows itself, and the herbs of the mountains are gathered in, 26 the lambs will provide your clothing, and the goats the price of a field; 27 you shall have enough goats’ milk for your food, for the food of your household, and the nourishment of your maidservants.

Ne hvalisati se i ne biti drzak

Ne hvali se sutraænjim danom, jer ne znaæ æto moœe dan donijeti. 2 Neka te hvali drugi, a ne tvoja vlastita usta; stranac, a ne tvoje vlastite usne. 3 Teœak je kamen, teret je pijesak; ali je gnjev na bezumnika teœi od obojega. 4 Jarost je divlja, i gnjev je bijesan, ali tko bi mogao odoljeti ljubomoru? 5 Bolji je javni ukor nego tajna ljubav. 6 Udarci iz ruke prijatelja dobro su miæljeni, ali su laœni poljupci mrzitelja. 7 Tko je sit gazi nogama i med samotok, a gladnu je çovjeku sve gorko–slatko. 8 Kakva je ptica koja odleti iz svojega gnijezda, takav je çovjek koji bjeœi iz svojega zaviçaja. 9 Ulje i mirisi razvesele srce, isto je tako slatka utjeha prijatelja iz srca koji vjerno svjetuje. 10 Ne ostavljaj prijatelja svojega i prijatelja svojega oca i ne idi u kuøu svojega brata u dan tvoje nesreøe, jer bolji je susjed u blizini nego brat u daljini. 11 Budi mudar, moj sine, i razveseli moje srce da mogu odgovoriti onomu koji me grdi. 12 Pametan çovjek vidi zlo i sakrije se, a ludi idu dalje i imaju ætetu. 13 Uzmi mu haljinu njegovu, jer je jamçio za drugoga, plijeni njega mjesto doæljaka. 14 Tko pozdravlja svojega prijatelja naglas rano ujutro, prima mu se to za kletvu. 15 Neprestano kapanje u vrijeme kiæe i œena svadljiva jedno su te isto. 16 Tko ju zaustavlja, zaustavlja vjetar i hvata ulje svojom desnicom. 17 Œeljezo se oætri œeljezom; tako çovjek oætri lice prijatelja svojega. 18 Tko goji smokvu, uœivat øe njezine plodove; tko çuva svojega gospodara, visoko se poætuje. 19 Kao æto se u vodi pokazuje lice, tako çovjeçje srce pokazuje çovjeka. 20 Carstvo mrtvih i propast ne mogu se zasititi; isto se tako oçi çovjeka ne mogu zasititi. 21 Srebro se kuæa u talionici i zlato u peøi, a çovjek se poznaje po glasu koji ima. 22 Kad bi luåaka i tuçkom tucao u stupi sa zrnjem, ne bi otiæla od njega njegova ludost. 23 Pazi na svoje ovce i brini se za svoja stada, 24 jer bogatstvo ne traje zauvijek; i baætini li se kruna kroz sve naraætaje? 25 Kada je trava iæçeznula, svjeœa se zelen pokazala, bilje se po planinama skupilo, 26 onda ti janjci daju odjeøu i jarci kupovnu cijenu za njivu, 27 i puno ima kozjega mlijeka tebi i tvojoj kuøi za hranu i za prehranu tvojim sluækinjama.

He who is often reproved, and hardens his neck, will suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy. 2 When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when a wicked man rules, the people groan. 3 Whoever loves wisdom makes his father rejoice, but a companion of harlots wastes his wealth. 4 The king establishes the land by justice, but he who receives bribes overthrows it. 5 A man who flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his feet. 6 By transgression an evil man is snared, but the righteous sings and rejoices. 7 The righteous considers the cause of the poor, but the wicked does not understand such knowledge. 8 Scoffers ensnare a city, but wise men turn away wrath.

The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, his utterance. This man declared to Ithiel–to Ithiel and Ucal: 2 Surely I am more stupid than any man, and do not have the understanding of a man. 3 I neither learned wisdom nor have knowledge of the Holy One. 4 Who has ascended into heaven, or descended? Who has gathered the wind in his fists? Who has bound the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is his Son’s name, if you know? 5 Every word of God is pure; he is a shield to those who put their trust in him. 6 Do not add to his words, lest he reprove you, and you be found a liar. 7 Two things I request of you (Deprive me not before I die): 8 remove falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches–feed me with the food you prescribe for me; 9 Lest I be full and deny you, and say, “Who is the LORD?” Or lest I be poor and steal, and profane the name of my God. 10 Do not malign a servant to his master, lest he curse you, and you be found guilty. 11 There is a generation that curses its father, and does not bless its mother. 12 There is a generation that is pure in its own eyes, yet is not washed from its filthiness. 13 There is a generation–oh, how lofty are their eyes! And their eyelids are lifted up.

The words of King Lemuel, the utterance which his mother taught him: 2 What, my son? And what, son of my womb? And what, son of my vows? 3 Do not give your strength to women, nor your ways to that which destroys kings. 4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine, nor for princes intoxicating drink; 5 lest they drink and forget the law, and pervert the justice of all the afflicted. 6 Give strong drink to him who is perishing, and wine to those who are bitter of heart. 7 Let him drink and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more. 8 Open your mouth for the speechless, in the cause of all who are appointed to die. 9 Open your mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy. 10 Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far above rubies. 11 The heart of her husband safely trusts her; so he will have no lack of gain. 12 She does him good and not evil all the days of her life.

Ecclesiastes THE BOOK OF ECCLESIASTES

The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem. 2 Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher; “Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.” 3 What profit has a man from all his labor in which he toils under the sun? 4 One generation passes away, and another generation comes; but the earth abides forever. 5 The sun also rises, and the sun goes down, and hastens to the place where it arose. 6 The wind goes toward the south, and turns around to the north; the wind whirls about continually, and comes again on its circuit. 7 All the rivers run into the sea, yet the sea is not full; to the place from which the rivers come, there they return again. 8 All things are full of labor; man cannot express it. The eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing. 9 That which has been is what will be, that which is done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun. 10 Is there anything of which it may be said, “See, this is new”? It has already been in ancient times before us. 11 There is no remembrance of former things, nor will there be any remembrance of things that are to come

Sve je taætina

Rijeçi Propovjednika, sina Davidova, kralja u Jeruzalemu. 2 Taætina nad taætinama, govori Propovjednik, taætina nad taætinama, sve je taætina. 3 Æto koristi çovjeku sav njegov trud kojim se muçi pod suncem? 4 Jedan naraætaj prolazi, drugi naraætaj dolazi, a zemlja stoji zauvijek. 5 Sunce izlazi, sunce zalazi i œuri natrag na mjesto odakle je iziælo. 6 Vjetar puæe na jug i okreøe se na sjever, u trajnom okretanju vjetar puæe; onda se vjetar okreøe natrag k novom okretanju. 7 Sve rijeke teku u more, a more se nikada ne napuni; odakle teku rijeke, onamo se vraøaju da ponovo poçinju svoj tok. 8 Sve su stvari ispunjene mukama: ni jedan çovjek ne moœe protumaçiti, i oko se ne moœe nagledati, ni uho se ne moœe nasluæati. 9 Æto je bilo, opet øe biti, æto se dogodilo, opet øe se dogoditi i niæta novo nema pod suncem. 10 Kad bi æto bilo o çemu bi se moglo reøi: “Evo, neæto novo.”, to je veø bilo u vremena æto su iza nas. 11 Ne sjeøa se æto je prije bilo. Æto øe joæ biti, neøe se spominjati u onih koji øe poslije œivjeti. 12 Ja, Propovjednik, bio sam kralj nad Izraelom

Mnoattained greatness, and have gained more wisdom go znanja i mnogo mudrosti nauçio je moj duh.” than all who were before me in Jerusalem. My heart 17 Ali, kad sam upravio svoje srce na to da upoznam æto je s mudroæøu i znanjem, s ludohas understood great wisdom and knowledge.” 17 And I set my heart to know wisdom and to know æøu i bezumljem, uvidio sam da je to trka za madness and folly. I perceived that this also is grasp- vjetrom. 18 Jer gdje je mnogo mudrosti, tu je i mnogo ing for the wind. 18 For in much wisdom is much grief, and he who brige, komu se mnoœi znanje, mnoœi se i muka. increases knowledge increases sorrow.

I said in my heart, “Come now, I will test you with mirth; therefore enjoy pleasure”; but surely, this also was vanity. 2 I said of laughter, “It is madness”; and of mirth, “What does it accomplish?” 3 I searched in my heart how to gratify my flesh with wine, while guiding my heart with wisdom, and how to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was good for the sons of men to do under heaven all the days of their lives. 4 I made my works great, I built myself houses, and planted myself vineyards. 5 I made myself gardens and orchards, and I planted all kinds of fruit trees in them. 6 I made myself waterpools from which to water the growing trees of the grove. 7 I acquired male and female servants, and had servants born in my house. Yes, I had greater possessions of herds and flocks than all who were in Jerusalem before me. 8 I also gathered for myself silver and gold and the special treasures of kings and of the provinces. I acquired male and female singers, the delights of the sons of men, and musical instruments of all kinds. 9 So I became great and excelled more than all who were before me in Jerusalem. Also my wisdom remained with me. 10 Whatever my eyes desired I did not keep from them. I did not withhold my heart from any pleasure, for my heart rejoiced in all my labor; and this was my reward from all my labor. 11 Then I looked on all the works that my hands had done and on the labor in which I had toiled; and indeed all was vanity and grasping for the wind. there was no profit under the sun. 12 Then I turned myself to consider wisdom and madness and folly; for what can the man do who succeeds the king?–Only what he has already done. 13 Then I saw that wisdom excels folly as light excels darkness. 14 The wise man’s eyes are in his head, but the fool walks in darkness. Yet I myself perceived that the same event happens to them all. 15 So I said in my heart, “As it happens to the fool, it also happens to me, and why was I then more wise?” Then I said in my heart, “This also is vanity.” 16 For there is no more remembrance of the wise than of the fool forever, since all that now is will be forgotten in the days to come. and how does a wise man die? As the fool! 17 Therefore I hated life because the work that was

Rekao sam u svojem srcu: “Hajde sad, da pokuæam s veseljem i nauœijem se”, ali eto, i to je bila taætina. 2 O smijehu rekao sam: “Ludo ponaæanje”; o radosti: “Çemu valja?” 3 Onda sa pomislio u svojem srcu da svoje tijelo krijepim vinom, da svoje srce okrenem k mudrosti i da se klonim ludosti dok saznam æto je korisno çovjeçjoj djeci, i æto su duœni çiniti pod suncem dok su œivi. 4 Velika djela uçinio sam: sagradio sam sebi kuøe i zasadio vinograde. 5 Vrtove i perivoje napravio sam sebi i nasadio u njima svakojakih rodnih stabala. 6 Napravio sam sebi vodena jezera da natapam iz njih mlade stabljike. 7 Nabavio sam sebi sluga i sluækinja, imao sam sluge roåene u mojoj kuøi. Posjedovao sam goveda i ovaca viæe negoli svi koji su œivjeli prije mene u Jeruzalemu. 8 Nakupio sam sebi i srebra i zlata i blaga od kraljeva i zemalja, nabavio sam pjevaçe i pjevaçice i miline sinova çovjeçjih; svakojakih muziçkih instrumenata. 9 Tako postao sam velik, veøi negoli svi koji su œivjeli preda mnom u Jeruzalemu; isto i mudrost je moja ostala sa mnom. 10 Æto su poœeljele moje oçi, nisam im uskratio, niti ikakve radosti nisam uskratio svojem srcu, veø je moje srce imalo radost na svima mojim trudovima, i to mi je bila plaøa za sav trud moj. 11 Istraœivao sam sva svoja djela koja uçinile moje ruke, i trud takoåer æto sam ga uloœio u to da ih uradim. I eto: sve je bila taætina i trka za vjetrom, i od toga nema koristi pod suncem. 12 I dao sam se na to da vidim æto je mudrost, ali ona je ludost i bezumlje, jer æto øe çiniti çovjek, koji øe doøi iza kralja? Isto æto se veø çinilo. 13 I vidio sam: istu prednost ima mudrost pred ludoæøu kao svjetlost pred tminom. 14 Mudri ima oçi u glavi, a luåak ide po mraku; a ipak sam doznao da obojicu stigne ista sudbina. 15 I ovako sam rekao u svojem srcu: “Ako i mene je stigla luåakova sudbina æto sam onda bio toliko mudar?” I ovako sam rekao u svojem srcu: “I to je taætina.” 16 Trajni spomen ostaje tako malo od mudraca kao od luåaka, jer u buduøim danima sve se zaboravi. Ah, kako ipak premine mudrac kao i

To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven: 2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck what is planted; 3 a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; 4 a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; 5 a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; 6 a time to gain, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to throw away; 7 a time to tear, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; 8 a time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. 9 What profit has the worker from that in which he labors? 10 I have seen the God-given task with which the sons of men are to be occupied. 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also he has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end. 12 I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice, and to do good in their lives, 13 and also that every man should eat and drink and enjoy the good of all his labor–it is the gift of God. 14 I know that whatever God does, it shall be forever. Nothing can be added to it, and nothing taken from it. God does it, that men should fear before him. 15 That which is has already been, and what is to be has already been; and God requires an account of what is past. 16 Moreover I saw under the sun: In the place of judgment, wickedness was there; and in the place of righteousness, iniquity was there. 17 I said in my heart, “God shall judge the righteous

Vrijeme vlada svim i protiv volje çovjekove

Sve ima svoje doba, vrijeme za svaku svrhu pod nebom: 2 Vrijeme raåanja i vrijeme umiranja; vrijeme saåenja i vrijeme çupanja posaåenog. 3 Vrijeme ubijanja i vrijeme ozdravljanja; vrijeme ruæenja i vrijeme graåenja. 4 Vrijeme plaça i vrijeme smijeha, vrijeme tugovanja i vrijeme plesanja. 5 Vrijeme bacanja kamenje i vrijeme skupljanja kamenje; vrijeme grlenja i vrijeme rastajanja. 6 Vrijeme traœenja i vrijeme gubljenja; vrijeme çuvanja i vrijeme odbacivanja. 7 Vrijeme deranja i vrijeme saæivanja; vrijeme æutnje i vrijeme govororenja. 8 Vrijeme ljubljenja i vrijeme mrœnje; vrijeme rata i vrijeme mira. 9 Koja je korist posleniku koji se trudi svom njegovom mukom? 10 Vidio sam nevolju koju Bog stavi ljudima da se muçe oko nje. 11 On çini sve lijepo u svoje vrijeme. I svijet je on predao njihovu istraœujuøem duhu, ali da ne moœe çovjek djelo koje je stvorio Bog dokuçiti od poçetka do svræetka. 12 Spoznao sam da nema niæta bolje za njih nego da se vesele i uœivaju u œivotu. 13 A i da çovjek jede i pije i uœiva œivot uza svu muku svoju, dar je to Boœji. 14 Spoznao sam da sve æto je Bog stvorio traje vjeçno. Ne moœe se tomu niæta dodati, niæta od toga oduzeti. Bog je tako to uredio da bi ga se çovjek bojao. 15 Æto postoji to je veø davno bilo. Æto øe biti, to je veø odavna bilo æto je proælo, Bog donosi opet. 16 Joæ neæto sam vidio pod nebom: mjesto prava vladala je zloøa, mjesto pravednosti vladala su zlodjela.

Then I returned and considered all the oppression that is done under the sun: And look! The tears of the oppressed, but they have no comforter– on the side of their oppressors there was power, but they have no comforter. 2 Therefore I praised the dead who were already dead, more than the living who are still alive. 3 Yet, better than both is he who has never existed, who has not seen the evil work that is done under the sun. 4 Again, I saw that for all toil and every skillful work a man is envied by his neighbor. This also is vanity and grasping for the wind. 5 The fool folds his hands and consumes his own flesh. 6 Better is a handful with quietness than both hands full, together with toil and grasping for the wind. 7 Then I returned, and I saw vanity under the sun: 8 There is one alone, without companion: he has neither son nor brother. Yet there is no end to all his labors, nor is his eye satisfied with riches. But he never asks, “For whom do I toil and deprive myself of good?” This also is vanity and a grave misfortune. 9 Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. 10 For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, for he has no one to help him up. 11 Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm; but how can one be warm alone? 12 Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him. and a threefold cord is not quickly broken. 13 Better is a poor and wise youth than an old and foolish king who will be admonished no more. 14 For he comes out of prison to be king, although he was born poor in his kingdom. 15 I saw all the living who walk under the sun; they were with the second youth who stands in his place. 16 There was no end of all the people over whom he was made king; yet those who come afterward will not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and grasping for the wind.

Bijeda i zavist otimaju vrijednost œivotu

Onda sam opet vidio sve nasilje uçinjeno pod suncem, i gle, suze potlaçenih, kojima nema utjeæitelja. Nasilje izlazi iz ruke njihovih tlaçitelja, a nikoga nema da ih utjeæi. 2 Onda sam drœao mrtve, koji su davno pomrli, sretnijima nego one koji joæ œive. 3 Drœao sam sretnijim od jednih i drugih onoga koji se joæ nije rodio, koji nije vidio zla æto je uçinjeno pod suncem. 4 Vidio sam da je svaki trud i svaka marljivost u radu samo zavist jednoga protiv drugoga. I to je taætina i trka za vjetrom. 5 Luåak stavlja svoje ruke u krilo i troæi svoje vlastito meso. 6 Bolja je jedna pregræt mira nego obje æake pune muke i trke za vjetrom. 7 Opet sam vidio jednu taætinu pod suncem: 8 Jedan samac, nitko drugi uz njega, ni jedan sin, ni jedan brat. Nema kraja njegovu svemu trudu; njegove oçi ne mogu se nasititi bogatstva, a nikad ne pita: “Za koga se muçim i oduzimam sebi svako uœivanje.” I to je taætina i loæ posao. 9 Bolje je dvojici nego jednomu, jer za trud svoj dobiju dobru plaøu. 10 Jer padne li jedan, digne ga opet drug njegov, ali teæko jednomu ako padne i nema drugoga da mu pomogne podiøi se. 11 Spavaju li dvojica jedan uz drugoga, ugrije jedan drugoga. A kako øe se jedan sam ugrijati? 12 Ako tko i moœe nadjaçati jednoga, dvojica øe mu odoljeti; a trostruka uzica ne trga se tako brzo. 13 Bolji je djeçak siromaæan a mudar, nego kralj star, a lud, koji viæe ne prima pouke. 14 Onaj doåe iz tamnice na prijestolje, a bio se siromaæan rodio pod tim kraljem. 15 Vidio sam sve œive koji hode pod suncem, na strani djeçaka drugoga koji je stupio na njegovo mjesto. 16 Nije bilo kraja mnoætvu naroda nad kojim nije bio kralj, a oni koji doåu poslije radovat øe mu se. Pa tako je i to bila taætina i trka za vjetrom.

There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is common among men: 2 A man to whom God has given riches and wealth and honor, so that he lacks nothing for himself of all he desires; yet God does not give him power to eat of it, but a foreigner consumes it. This is vanity, and it is an evil affliction. 3 If a man begets a hundred children and lives many years, so that the days of his years are many, but his soul is not satisfied with goodness, or indeed he has no burial, I say that a stillborn child is better than he– 4 for it comes in vanity and departs in darkness, and its name is covered with darkness.

Posljedice bogatstva. Sve su çeœnje niætave

Ima joæ drugo zlo æto sam ga vidio pod suncem, i teæko tiæti çovjeka. 2 Jednomu çovjeku daje Bog bogatstvo, blago i slavu i niæta mu nedostaje æto zaœeli njegovo srce, ali mu Bog ne dopuæta da to uœiva, nego jedan doæljak to uœiva: to je taætina i ljuto zlo. 3 Ako bi tko imao stotinu djece i œivio mnogo godina i broj se dana njegova œivota veoma namnoœio, on ne bi mogao uœivati dobra, te ni pogreba ne bi imao, kaœem: bolje je nedonoæçe od njega. 4 Jer ono doåe uzalud i ide odavde u tamu, ime

A good name is better than precious ointment, and the day of death than the day of one’s birth. 2 It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting, for that is the end of all men; and the living will take it to heart. 3 Sorrow is better than laughter, for by a sad countenance the heart is made better. 4 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth. 5 It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise than for a man to hear the song of fools. 6 For like the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool. This also is vanity. 7 Surely oppression destroys a wise man’s reason, and a bribe debases the heart. 8 The end of a thing is better than its beginning, and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit. 9 Do not hasten in your spirit to be angry, for anger rests in the bosom of fools. 10 Do not say, “Why were the former days better than these?” For you do not inquire wisely concerning this. 11 Wisdom is good with an inheritance, and profitable to those who see the sun. 12 For wisdom is a defense as money is a defense, but the excellence of knowledge is that wisdom gives life to those who have it. 13 Consider the work of God; for who can make straight what he has made crooked? 14 In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: Surely God has appointed the one as well as the other, so that man can find nothing that will happen after him. 15 I have seen all things in my days of vanity: There is a just man who perishes in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man who prolongs his life in his wickedness. 16 Do not be overly righteous, nor be overly wise: why should you destroy yourself? 17 Do not be overly wicked, nor be foolish: why should you die before your time? 18 It is good that you grasp this, and also not remove your hand from the other; for he who fears God will escape them all. 19 Wisdom strengthens the wise more than ten rulers of the city. 20 For there is not a just man on earth who does good and does not sin. 21 Also do not take to heart everything people say, lest you hear your servant cursing you. 22 For many times, also, your own heart has known that even you have cursed others.

Dragocjenost mudrosti

Bolje je dobro ime nego dobro ulje, i dan smrti viæe je vrijedan nego dan roåenja. 2 Bolje je iøi u kuøu œalosti negoli u kuøu gdje se gosti, jer je ovdje kraj svakoga çovjeka, i tko joæ œivi, prima to k srcu. 3 Bolja je zabrinutost nego smijeh, jer ako je i œalosno lice, moœe ipak biti veselo srce. 4 Srce mudrih ljudi boravi u kuøi œalosti, a srce ludih u kuøi veselja. 5 Bolje je posluæati ukor mudroga nego sluæati hvalospjev luåaka. 6 Jer kao prasak trnja pod kotlom takvo je smijanje luåaka. I to je taætina. 7 Jer tlaçenje çini mudra çovjeka ludim, a mito pokvari srce. 8 Bolji je svræetak jedne stvari nego njezin poçetak, i bolja je strpljivost nego oholost. 9 Srdœbi se ne podaji prebrzo, jer srdœba prebiva u grudima ludih. 10 Ne govori: “Kako je to da su prije bila vremena bolja nego danas?” Jer mudrost ti ne udahnu to pitanje. 11 Dragocjena je mudrost kao baætina i probitak onima koji vide sunce. 12 Jer je u sjeni mudrosti çovjek tako dobro zaklonjen kao u sjeni novaca, a znanje mudrosti ima prednost u tom æto daje œivot onomu koji je posjeduje. 13 Pogledaj djelo Boœje; tko moœe ispraviti æto je on iskrivio? 14 Je li ti dobro, budi dobre volje; ako ti je zlo, onda upamti: jedno i drugo Bog je tako odredio, da ne pronaåe çovjek æto øe se dogoditi poslije njega. 15 Oboje sam vidio u niætavim danima svojim: ima pravednika koji propadaju nasuprot svojoj pravdi, i ima bezboœnika koji dugo œive nasuprot svojoj pokvarenosti. 16 Ne budi previæe pravedan, i ne budi premudar, zaæto da se uniætavaæ? 17 Ne budi previæe bezboœan i ne budi lud, zaæto bi umro prije vremena? 18 Bilo bi dobro kad bi çvrsto drœao ovo, a ono ne dao iz ruku, jer tko se boji Boga, utekne obojemu. 19 Mudrost daje mudromu viæe moøi nego æto je imaju deset gradskih glavara. 20 Jest, ni jedan çovjek na zemlji nije tako pravedan da bi çinio samo dobro i nikada ne sagrijeæio. 21 Ne primaj k srcu svako brbljanje æto kola

Who is like a wise man? and who knows the interpretation of a thing? A man’s wisdom makes his face shine, and the sternness of his face is changed. 2 I counsel you, “Keep the king’s commandment for the sake of your oath to God. 3 Do not be hasty to go from his presence. Do not take your stand for an evil thing, for he does whatever pleases him.” 4 Where the word of a king is, there is power; and who may say to him, “What are you doing?” 5 He who keeps his command will experience nothing harmful; and a wise man’s heart discerns both time and judgment, 6 Because for every matter there is a time and judgment, though the misery of man increases greatly. 7 For he does not know what will happen; so who can tell him when it will occur? 8 No one has power over the spirit to retain the spirit, and no one has power in the day of death. There is no discharge in that war, and wickedness will not deliver those who are given to it. 9 All this I have seen, and applied my heart to every work that is done under the sun: There is a time in which one man rules over another to his own hurt. 10 Then I saw the wicked buried, who had come and gone from the place of holiness, and they were forgotten in the city where they had so done. This also is vanity. 11 Because the sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. 12 Though a sinner does evil a hundred times, and his days are prolonged, yet I surely know that it will be well with those who fear God, who fear before him. 13 But it will not be well with the wicked; nor will he prolong his days, which are as a shadow, because he does not fear before God. 14 There is a vanity which occurs on earth, that there are just men to whom it happens according to the work of the wicked; again, there are wicked men to whom it happens according to the work of the righteous. I said that this also is vanity. 15 So I commended enjoyment, because a man has nothing better under the sun than to eat, drink, and

Vaœnost mudrosti za praktiçni œivot

Tko je kao mudrac; tko razumije znaçenje stvari? Mudrost çovjeka prosvjetljuje njegovo lice i mijenja tvrdoøu njegova lica. 2 Ja svjetujem: “Izvræuj zapovijed kraljevu zbog zakletve Boœje. 3 Ne otpadaj prenaglo od njega. Ne ulazi u zle spletke, jer on ipak çini æto hoøe. 4 Jer je kraljeva rijeç moøna; tko smije njemu reøi: “Æto tu radiæ?” 5 Tko izvræuje zapovijed, neøe doœivjeti niæta zlo, jer mudro srce zna za pravo vrijeme. 6 Jer svaka stvar ima vrijeme i pravo, a teæko tiæti çovjeka zlo. 7 Nitko ne zna æto øe se dogoditi, onda kako bi mu mogao reøi kada øe se dogoditi? 8 Nitko nema vlasti nad dahom da ga zadrœi, i nitko nema moøi nad smrtnim danom. Nema dopusta u ratu; niti zlo oslobaåa onoga koji mu je predan. 9 Sve ovo sam vidio kad sam uspravio svoje srce na ono æto je uçinjeno pod suncem, u vrijeme kad çovjek vlada nad drugima na njihovo zlo. 10 I uz to sam vidio kako su bezboœnici dobili pogreb, a oni koji su çinili pravo morali otiøi sa svetoga mjesta, i bili su zaboravljeni u gradu. I to je taætina. 11 Poæto se ne izvræi odmah osuda na zloçincima, raste djeci çovjeçjoj hrabrost da çine zlo. 12 Moœe grjeænik stotinu puta çiniti zlo i œivi joæ dugo, ali ja i znam: koji se Boga boje–bit øe dobro, jer ga se boje. 13 A bezboœniku neøe biti dobro. On ne smije svoje dane protegnuti kao sjena, jer se ne boji Boga. 14 Taætina koja se dogaåa na zemlji jest ovo: ima pravednika kojima se dogaåa po djelima zlih; opet ima zlih kojima se dogaåa po djelima pravednika. Ja kaœem, i to je taætina. 15 I tako ja hvalim veselje: jer nema niæta bolje çovjeku pod suncem, nego jesti i piti i veseo biti. To neka ga prati u svem trudu njegovu kroz sve dane œivota æto mu ih Bog dao pod suncem.

-747- Propovjednik Ecclesiastes be merry; for this will remain with him in his labor for 16 Kad sam god upravio svoje srce na to da the days of his life which God gives him under the doåem do znanja mudrosti i da promatram æto se radi na zemlji–jer ni danju ni noøu neøe san sun. 16 When I applied my heart to know wisdom and to razveseliti oko çovjeka. see the business that is done on earth, even though 17 Onda sam vidio æto vrijedi za sve djelovanje Boœje: çovjek ne moœe dokuçiti upravljanje æto one sees no sleep day or night, 17 then I saw all the work of God, that a man cannot se vræi pod suncem. Koliko se god çovjek trudi find out the work that is done under the sun. For da to istraœi, ipak to ne moœe dokuçiti. Pa i ako though a man labors to discover it, yet he will not find mudrac misli da to zna, ipak to ne moœe it; moreover, though a wise man attempts to know it, dokuçiti. he will not be able to find it.

For I considered all this in my heart, so that I could declare it all: that the righteous and the wise and their works are in the hand of God. People know neither love nor hatred by anything that is before them. 2 Everything occurs alike to all: One event happens to the righteous and the wicked; to the good, the clean, and the unclean; to him who sacrifices and him who does not sacrifice. As is the good, so is the sinner; and he who takes an oath as he who fears an oath. 3 This is an evil in all that is done under the sun: that one thing happens to all. Truly the hearts of the sons of men are full of evil; madness is in their hearts while they live, and after that they go to the dead. 4 But for him who is joined to all the living there is hope, for a living dog is better than a dead lion. 5 For the living know that they will die; but the dead know nothing, and they have no more reward, for the memory of them is forgotten. 6 Also their love, their hatred, and their envy have now perished; nevermore will they have a share in anything done under the sun. 7 Go, eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a merry heart; for God has already accepted your works. 8 Let your garments always be white, and let your head lack no oil. 9 Live joyfully with the wife whom you love all the days of your vain life which he has given you under the sun, all your days of vanity; for that is your portion in life, and in the labor which you perform under the sun. 10 Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going. 11 I returned and saw under the sun that–The race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to men of understanding, nor favor to men of skill; but time and chance happen to them all. 12 For man also does not know his time: Like fish taken in a cruel net, like birds caught in a snare, so the sons of men are snared in an evil time, when it falls suddenly upon them. 13 This wisdom I have also seen under the sun, and it seemed great to me: 14 There was a little city with few men in it; and a great king came against it, besieged it, and built great snares around it. 15 Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city. Yet no one remembered that same poor man. 16 Then I said: “Wisdom is better than strength. Nevertheless the poor man’s wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard. 17 Words of the wise, spoken quietly, should be heard rather than the shout of a ruler of fools. 18 Wisdom is better than weapons of war; but one sinner destroys much good.”

Vrijednost i uœitak œivota

Sve sam to bio dobro promislio i bio sam doæao do spoznaje: pravedni i mudri u Boœjoj su ruci sa svim svojim djelovanjem. Hoøe li ga ljubav ili mrœnja susresti, ne zna çovjek unaprijed. Sve mu moœe donijeti buduønost. 2 Sve pogaåa jednaka sudbina: pravednoga kao bezboœnoga, dobroga, çistoga, kao neçistoga onoga koji œrtvuje, kao onoga koji ne œrtvuje. Dobromu je kao grjeæniku: onomu koji se zaklinje kao onomu koji se boji zakletve. 3 To je zlo kod svega æto je uçinjeno pod suncem: sve pogaåa jednaka sudbina, zato je i çovjeçje srce tako puno zla. U njihovu srcu prebiva ludost, dok su god œivi, a potom se silazi k mrtvima. 4 Jer samo tko je pridruœen œivima, moœe se joæ neæto nadati; jer bolje je œiv pas nego mrtav lav. 5 Œivi joæ znaju da moraju umrijeti, a mrtvi nemaju viæe znanja, niti se nadaju plaøi, jer im se spomen zaboravio. 6 Odavno je nestalo ljubavi njihove, mrœnje njihove, vruøe œudnje njihove, i zauvijek nemaju viæe dijela u svemu æto je uçinjeno pod suncem. 7 Hajde, jedi s radoæøu svoj kruh, pij vesela srca vino svoje, jer su uvijek bila Bogu mila tvoja djela. 8 Neka su ti uvijek haljine bijele i nikada na glavi tvojoj neka ne ponestane ulja. 9 Uœivaj œivot sa œenom koju ljubiæ u sve dane tvojega niætava œivota æto ti ga Bog daje pod suncem, jer je to dio tvoj u œivotu u sve dane tvojega niætava œivota, i u trudu, kojim se muçiæ pod suncem. 10 Æto tvoja ruka moœe çiniti, to neka çini vlastitom snagom, jer nema niti rada ni nauma, niti mudrosti, ni znanja u carstvu mrtvih kamo ideæ. 11 Nadalje sam vidio pod suncem: ne dobiva brzi utrku, ni junaci rat, ni mudraci kruh, ni pametni bogatstvo, ni razumni milost, nego sve ovisi od vremena i sreøe. 12 Jer çovjek ne zna vremena svojega: kao æto se ribe hvataju mreœom, kao æto ptice padaju u zamku, isto tako zapletu se ljudi u vrijeme nesreøe æto navali na njih iznenada. 13 I ovo sam morao ja s mudroæøu doœivjeti pod suncem i uçini mi se to velikim: 14 Bio je malen grad i samo je malo ljudi stanovalo u njemu, a doæao na njega moøan kralj, opkolio ga i zakopao protiv njega jake opkope. 15 A bio u njemu i siromaæan mudrac, i on oslobodi grad mudroæøu svojom, ali se poslije nitko nije sjetio toga siromaha. 16 Onda sam rekao sebi: bolja je mudrost nego moø, ali se ne priznaje mudrost siromaha i na rijeçi se njegove ne pazi. 17 Rijeçi jednoga mudraca, mirno izreçene, vrednije su da se sluæaju nego vika ludih kraljeva. 18 Bolja je mudrost nego ratno oruœje, ali jedan

Dead flies putrefy the perfumer’s ointment, and cause it to give off a foul odor; so does a little folly to one respected for wisdom and honor. 2 A wise man’s heart is at his right hand, but a fool’s heart at his left. 3 Even when a fool walks along the way, he lacks wisdom, and he shows everyone that he is a fool. 4 If the spirit of the ruler rises against you, do not leave your post; for conciliation pacifies great offenses. 5 There is an evil I have seen under the sun, as an error proceeding from the ruler: 6 folly is set in great dignity, while the rich sit in a lowly place. 7 I have seen servants on horses, while princes walk on the ground like servants. 8 He who digs a pit will fall into it, and whoever breaks through a wall will be bitten by a serpent. 9 He who quarries stones may be hurt by them, and he who splits wood may be endangered by it. 10 If the ax is dull, and one does not sharpen the edge, then he must use more strength; but wisdom brings success. 11 A serpent may bite when it is not charmed; the babbler is no different. 12 The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious, but the lips of a fool shall swallow him up; 13 the words of his mouth begin with foolishness, and the end of his talk is raving madness. 14 A fool also multiplies words. No man knows what is to be; who can tell him what will be after him? 15 The labor of fools wearies them, for they do not even know how to go to the city! 16 Woe to you, O land, when your king is a child, and your princes feast in the morning! 17 Blessed are you, O land, when your king is the son of nobles, and your princes feast at the proper time– for strength and not for drunkenness! 18 Because of laziness the building decays, and through idleness of hands the house leaks. 19 A feast is made for laughter, and wine makes merry; but money answers every thing. 20 Do not curse the king, even in your thought; do not curse the rich, even in your bedroom; for a bird of the air may carry your voice, and a bird in flight may tell the matter.

Baci svoj kruh na povræinu vode, i naøi øeæ ga opet poslije mnogo dana. 2 Razdijeli dio na sedam komada ili na osam, jer ne znaæ, kakva joæ nesreøa dolazi na zemlju. 3 Kad su oblaci puni kiæe, onda ga izlijevaju na zemlju. Padne li drvo na jug ili na sjever: kamo je palo, ondje ostaje. 4 Tko uvijek pazi na vjetar, nikada ne pristupa k sijanju, i tko uvijek gleda u oblake, ne dolazi nikada do œetve. 5 Kako ne znaæ koji je put œivotnom dahu, i kako postaju kosti u utrobi trudne œene, isto tako malo znaæ upravljanje Boœje, koji je sve stvorio. 6 Ujutro sij sjeme svoje i do uveçer nemoj da ti poçivaju ruke, jer ne znaæ hoøe li uspjeti ovo ili ono, ili øe oboje jednako dobro prihvatiti. 7 Slatka je svjetlost i godi oçima vidjeti sunce. 8 Zato ako çovjek œivi mnogo godina, neka se veseli u svima, a neka pomisli i na dane tamne, jer øe ih biti mnogo.

Cast your bread upon the waters, for you will find it after many days. 2 Give a serving to seven, and also to eight, for you do not know what evil will be on the earth. 3 If the clouds are full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth; and if a tree falls to the south or the north, in the place where the tree falls, there it shall lie. 4 He who observes the wind will not sow, and he who regards the clouds will not reap. 5 As you do not know what is the way of the wind, or how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child, so you do not know the works of God who makes all things. 6 In the morning sow your seed, and in the evening do not withhold your hand; for you do not know which will prosper, either this or that, or whether both alike will be good. 7 Truly the light is sweet, and it is pleasant for the eyes to behold the sun; 8 But if a man lives many years and rejoices in them

Mrtve muhe uçine ulje pomastare vo pokvarenim i ukislim. Tako je i malo ludosti teœe od mudrosti i çasti. 2 Srce mudroga çovjeka je na desnoj strani, a srce luåaka na lijevoj strani. 3 Kad luåak ide putom, izdaje razum njegov i odaje svakomu da je luåak. 4 Ako se i gnjev vladara podigao na tebe, ne ostavljaj svojega mjesta, jer strpljiv ispravi velike pogreæke. 5 Ima joæ jedno zlo koje sam vidio pod suncem, propust koji je poçinio vladar: 6 Luåak se postavlja na visoko mjesto, a plemeniti moraju œivjeti u nizini. 7 Vidio sam sluge na konjima, a vladari idu pjeæke kao sluge. 8 Tko jamu kopa, padne lako sam u nju, i tko ruæi zidove, toga lako ujede zmija. 9 Tko lomi kamenje, iako se pritom ozlijedi; i tko cijepa drva, lako pritom doåe u opasnost. 10 Ako je sjekira tupa i ako se ne naoætri, onda se mora vlastita snaga to viæe upotrijebiti; mudrost donosi uspjeh. 11 Zmija moœe ugristi bez draœenja, brbljavac nije niæta bolji. 12 Pune su miline rijeçi iz usta mudraca, a usne luåakove izjedu njega samoga. 13 Ludost je poçetak govoru njegovu, a posljednje iz njegovih usta jest zlo bezumlje. 14 Mnogo brblja luåak, gdje ipak çovjek ne zna æto øe se dogoditi. Tko øe mu reøi æto øe se poslije njega dogoditi? 15 Posao luåakov samo ga umara, jer on nije joæ nauçio u grad otiøi. 16 Jao tebi, zemljo, kad ti je kralj dijete, i kad velikaæi tvoji veø rano ujutro pijançuju. 17 Blagoslovljena si ti, zemljo, kad ti je kralj plemenit, i kad velikaæi tvoji jedu na vrijeme kao junaci, a ne kao pijanci. 18 Gdje vlada lijenost, ugiblje se krov, i gdje su nemarne ruke, prokiænjava kuøa. 19 Za veselje drœi se gozba i vino razveseljuje œivot, a novci uçine sve. 20 Ni u mislima ne psuj kralja, ni u sobi u kojoj spavaæ ne psuj bogatih, jer nebeske ptice mogle bi primiti jeku i krilat glasnik raæiriti tvoju rijeç.

All that is coming is vanity. 9 Rejoice, O young man, in your youth, and let your idi kamo te tvoje srce vuçe i oçi te tvoje zovu, ali heart cheer you in the days of your youth; walk in the znaj dobro da o svemu tomu Bog od tebe traœi ways of your heart, and in the sight of your eyes; but raçun. know that for all these God will bring you into judg- 10 Zato ukloni œalost od svojega srca i otjeraj boli od svojega tijela, jer je prolazna mladost i ment. 10 Therefore remove sorrow from your heart, and put crna kosa. away evil from your flesh, for childhood and youth are vanity.

Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth, before the difficult days come, and the years draw near when you say, “I have no pleasure in them”: 2 while the sun and the light, the moon and the stars, are not darkened, and the clouds do not return after the rain; 3 in the day when the keepers of the house tremble, and the strong men bow down; when the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look through the windows grow dim; 4 when the doors are shut in the streets, and the sound of grinding is low; when one rises up at the sound of a bird, and all the daughters of music are brought low; 5 also when they are afraid of height, and of terrors in the way; when the almond tree blossoms, the grasshopper is a burden, and desire fails. For man goes to his eternal home, and the mourners go about the streets. 6 Remember your Creator before the silver cord is loosed, or the golden bowl is broken, or the pitcher shattered at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the well. 7 Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, and the spirit will return to God who gave it. 8 Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher, “All is vanity.” 9 And moreover, because the Preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yes, he pondered and sought out and set in order many proverbs. 10 The Preacher sought to find acceptable words; and what was written was upright–words of truth. 11 The words of the wise are like goads, and the words of scholars are like well-driven nails, given by one Shepherd. 12 And further, my son, be admonished by these. Of making many books there is no end, and much study is wearisome to the flesh. 13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. 14 For God will bring every work into judgment, including every secret thing, whether it is good or whether it is evil.

Misli na Boga u mladosti

Spominji se Stvoritelja svojega u mladim danima, prije nego doåu teæki dani i prispiju godine, za koje kaœeæ: “Nisu mi ugodne.” 2 Prije nego potamni sunce, svjetlo i mjesec i zvijezde i iza kiæe opet doåu oblaci. 3 To je doba kad zadræøu çuvari kuøe, kad se pognu snaœni ljudi, kad poçivaju mlinarice jer ih je premalo, kad se skrivaju oni koji vire kroz prozore. 4 Vrata s ulica zatvaraju se i zveka mlina bude tiæa; cvrkut ptiçji jedan se diœe i svi glasovi umuknu. 5 Çovjek se straæi visina i strahote na ravnoj stazi, a badem cvjeta, skakavac se samo muçno vuçe i napor opada, jer çovjek ulazi u vjeçnu svoju kuøu. Po ulici idu naokolo turobni ljudi. 6 Sjeøaj se Stvoritelja prije nego se prekine srebrno uœe, zlatna çaæa pukne, vrç se na izvoru razbije, u studenac padne slomljen kotaç. 7 I prah se vratio u zemlju onako kako je bio, i duh se vratio k Bogu koji ga je dao. 8 “Taætina nad taætinama” govori Propovjednik. “Sve je taætina.” 9 K ovomu je joæ pridodati: Propovjednik je bio mudrac koji je narodu davao znanje, bio je mislilac, istraœivaç i sastavio je mnogo mudrih izreka. 10 Propovjednik se trudio da naåe ugodne rijeçi i da napiæe iskrene rijeçi istine. 11 Rijeçi su mudraca kao ostani volujski, i çlanovi skupljenih priça kao çavlji zabijeni, one potjeçu od jednoga Pastira. 12 Uostalom primi savjete, moj sine; nema kraja mnogomu pisanju knjiga, a mnogo uçenje umara tijelo. 13 Zakljuçnu rijeç çujmo svi: “Boga se boj, i njegove zapovijedi drœi.” 14 To vrijedi za svakoga, jer øe svako djelo Bog iznijeti pred sud, sve skriveno, bilo dobro ili zlo.

Behold, you are fair, my love! Behold, you are fair! You have dove’s eyes behind your veil. Your hair is like a flock of goats, going down from Mount Gilead. 2 Your teeth are like a flock of shorn sheep which have come up from the washing, every one of which bears twins, and none is barren among them. 3 Your lips are like a strand of scarlet, and your mouth is lovely. Your temples behind your veil are like a piece of pomegranate. 4 Your neck is like the tower of David, built for an armory, on which hang a thousand bucklers, all shields of mighty men. 5 Your two breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle, which feed among the lilies. 6 Until the day breaks and the shadows flee away, I will go my way to the mountain of myrrh and to the hill of frankincense. 7 You are all fair, my love, and there is no spot in you. 8 Come with me from Lebanon, my spouse, with me from Lebanon. Look from the top of Amana, from the top of Senir and Hermon, from the lions’ dens, from the mountains of the leopards. 9 You have ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse; you have ravished my heart with one look of your eyes, with one link of your necklace. 10 How fair is your love, my sister, my spouse!

He knocks, saying, “Open for me, my sister, my love, my dove, my perfect one; for my head is covered with dew, my locks with the drops of the night.” 3 I have taken off my robe; how can I put it on again? I have washed my feet; How can I defile them? 4 my beloved put his hand by the latch of the door, and my heart yearned for him. 5 I arose to open for my beloved, and my hands dripped with myrrh, my fingers with liquid myrrh, on the handles of the lock. 6 I opened for my beloved, but my beloved had turned away and was gone. My heart went out to him when he spoke. I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer. 7 The watchmen who went about the city found me. They struck me, they wounded me; the keepers of the walls took my veil away from me. 8 I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if you find my beloved, that you tell him I am lovesick! The Daughters of Jerusalem 9 What is your beloved more than another beloved, O fairest among women? What is your beloved more than another beloved, that you so charge us? The Shulamite 10 My beloved is white and ruddy, chief among ten thousand. 11 His head is like the finest gold; his locks are wavy, and black as a raven. 12 His eyes are like doves by the rivers of waters, washed with milk, and fitly set. 13 His cheeks are like a bed of spices, like banks of scented herbs. His lips are lilies, dripping liquid myrrh. 14 His hands are rods of gold set with beryl. His body is carved ivory inlaid with sapphires. 15 His legs are pillars of marble set on bases of fine gold. His countenance is like Lebanon, excellent as the cedars. 16 His mouth is most sweet, yes, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem! The Daughters of Jerusalem!

Where has your beloved gone, O fairest among women? Where has your beloved turned aside,

Ljubljeni: U vrt svoj sam doæao, sestro, moja zaruçnice. Berem svoju smirnu sa svojim balsamom, jedem svoje saøe sa svojim medom, pijem svoje vino sa svojim mlijekom. Prijateljima: Jedite, prijatelji, pijte, ponapijte se, mili moji. 2 Æulamka: Spavam, ali je moje srce budno. Sluæaj, eto kuca dragi moj, govoreøi: “Otvori mi, sestro moja, prijateljice moja, golubice moja, çista moja, mokra mi je glava od rose, i moja kosa od noønih kapi.” 3 Svukla sam veø svoju haljinu, opet bih je morala odjenuti. I noge sam sebi oprala, ah, morala bih ih opet zamazati. 4 Onda dragi moj promoli svoju ruku kroz otvor: moja nutrina ustrepta od njega. 5 Skoçila sam da otvorim svojem dragomu. Onda mi ruke pokapa smirna; niz prste mi poteçe smirna na drœak prijevornice. 6 Otvorila sam svojem dragomu, ali mojeg dragoga nije bilo, bio je otiæao. Stade mi dah, jer on je govorio. Traœila sam ga, ali ga nisam naæla, zvala sam ga, ali mi se nije odazvao. 7 Susreli me straœari koji su obilazili po gradu. Izranili su me, pokrivalo su mi strgali, straœari zidova. 8 Zaklinjem vas, køeri jeruzalemske, ako susretnete mojega dragoga, recite mu da sam se razboljela od ljubavi. 9 Køeri jeruzalemske: Æto je dragi tvoj bolji od ostalih dragih, najljepæa meåu œenama? Æto je dragi tvoj bolji od ostalih dragih, te nas tako zaklinjeæ? 10 Æulamka: Dragi je moj bijel i rumen, meåu tisuøama moœe se poznati. 11 Kao zlato glava je njegova, kao najdragocjenije zlato. Kose njegove kao grozdovi, crne kao gavrani. 12 Oçi su mu kao golubice na potoku, mlijekom umivene, poçivaju u miru. 13 Obrazi su njegovi kao lijehe mirisnog bilja, cvijeøe mirisno niçe u njima. Usne njegove cvatu kao ljiljani, kaplju smirnom dragocjenom. 14 Ruke su njegove kao zlatne æipke obloœene dragim kamenjem. Tijelo je njegovo kao umjetno djelo od bjelokosti obloœeno safirima. 15 Stoji kao na stupovima od mramora, uçvræøenim na zlatnom podnoœju. Uzrast mu je kao Lebanon, krasan kao cedri. 16 Usta su mu puna sladosti. Sve je na njemu ljupko. To je moj ljubljeni, i to je moj prijatelj. Køeri jeruzalemske. Nagrada i pohvala vjernosti zaruçnice

How beautiful are your feet in sandals, prince’s daughter! The curves of your thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a skillful workman. 2 Your navel is a rounded goblet which lacks no blended beverage. Your waist is a heap of wheat set about with lilies. 3 Your two breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle. 4 Your neck is like an ivory tower, your eyes like the pools in Heshbon by the gate of Bath Rabbim. Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon which looks toward Damascus. 5 Your head crowns you like Mount Carmel, and the hair of your head is like purple; the king is held captive by its tresses. 6 How fair and how pleasant you are, O love, with your delights! 7 This stature of yours is like a palm tree, and your breasts like its clusters. 8 I said, “I will go up to the palm tree, I will take hold of its branches.” Let now your breasts be like clusters of the vine, The fragrance of your breath like apples, 9 and the roof of your mouth like the best wine. The Shulamite The wine goes down smoothly for my beloved, moving gently the lips of sleepers. 10 I am my beloved’s, and his desire is toward me. 11 Come, my beloved, let us go forth to the field; let us lodge in the villages. 12 Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see if the vine has budded, whether the grape blossoms are open, and the pomegranates are in bloom. There I will give you my love. 13 The mandrakes give off a fragrance, and at our gates are pleasant fruits, all manner, new and old,

Oh, that you were like my brother, who nursed at my mother’s breasts! If I should find you outside, I would kiss you; I would not be despised. 2 I would lead you and bring you into the house of my mother, she who used to instruct me. I would cause you to drink of spiced wine, of the juice of my pomegranate. (To the Daughters of Jerusalem) 3 His left hand is under my head, and his right hand embraces me. 4 I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, do not stir up nor awaken love until it pleases. A Relative 5 Who is this coming up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? I awakened you under the apple tree. There your mother brought you forth; there she who bore you brought you forth. The Shulamite to Her Beloved 6 Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm; for love is as strong as death, jealousy as cruel as the grave; its flames are flames of fire, a most vehement flame. 7 Many waters cannot quench love, nor can the floods drown it. If a man would give for love all the wealth of his house, it would be utterly despised. The Shulamite’s Brothers 8 We have a little sister, and she has no breasts. What shall we do for our sister in the day when she is spoken for? 9 If she is a wall, we will build upon her a battlement of silver; and if she is a door, we will enclose her with boards of cedar. The Shulamite 10 I am a wall, and my breasts like towers; then I became in his eyes as one who found peace. 11 Solomon had a vineyard at Baal Hamon; he leased the vineyard to keepers; everyone was to bring for its fruit a thousand pieces of silver. (To Solomon) 12 My own vineyard is before me. You, O Solomon, may have a thousand, and those who keep its fruit two hundred. The Beloved 13 You who dwell in the gardens, the companions listen for your voice–let me hear it! The Shulamite 14 Make haste, my beloved, and be like a gazelle or a young stag on the mountains of spices.

Vjernost vjeçno sjedinjenih

Ah, da bi mi ti brat bio, koji je dojio prsa moje majke. Onda bih te smjela ljubiti, kad bih te naæla vani, nitko me ne bi za to prekorio. 2 Uzela bih te sobom i povela te u kuøu svoje majke koja me odgojila, dala bih ti da pijeæ vino mirisavo, sok od æipaka. 3 Onda se privine ljevica njegova pod moju glavu, u ljubavi me ogrli njegova desnica. 4 Køerima jeruzalemskim: Zaklinjem vas, køeri jeruzalemske: nemojte buditi, nemojte smetati ljubavi, dok njoj samoj ne bude volja. 5 Roåak: Tko je ona, koja ide gore iz pustinje ondje, naslonjena na svojega dragoga? Pod jabukom probudio sam te, gdje te je u bolima rodila tvoja majka, gdje je u muci leœala roditeljka tvoja. 6 Æulamka: Kao peçat postavljam se tebi na srce, na tvoju ruku kao peçat. Jest, ljubav je jaka kao smrt. Ljubomorna ljubav je tvrda kao svijet mrtvih. Œar je njezin kao oganj plamenit, i munje su njezini plamenovi. 7 Kad bi bilo joæ toliko voda, ne mogu one ugasiti ljubav. I rijeke nikada ne otrgnu ljubavi. Kad bi tko davao sve svoje imanje kuøe za ljubav–mogao bi on biti samo prezren. 8 Braøa Æulamke: Imamo sestricu, ona nema grudi æto øemo çiniti sa svojom sestrom, kad je doåu prositi? 9 Ako je ona zid: sagradit øemo na njemu tvråavu od srebra. Ako li vrata, utvrdit øemo ih daskama cedrovim. 10 Æulamka: Ja sam zid, a moja prsa kao tornjevi, ali sam za njega jedna koja se veø predala. 11 Imao je Salomon vinograd u Baal-Hamonu, povjerio je vinograd çuvarima i morao je svaki za njegov narod platiti tisuøu srebrnjaka. 12 Æulamka Salomonu: Moj vlastiti vinograd samo je za me, tebi te tisuøe, o Salomone, i dvije stotine onima koji çuvaju plodove njegove. 13 Ljubljeni: Ti, koja prebivaæ u vrtovima; prijatelji prisluækuju tvoj glas, daj mi da ga i ja çujem. 14 Æulamka: Brœe doåi, dragi moj, kao srna ili kao jelençe na mirisnim gorama.

THE BOOK OF THE PROPHET ISAIAH

KNJIGA PROROKA IZAIJE Kazna grjeænicima. Utjeha poboœnicima

The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah. 2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth! For the LORD has spoken: I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me; 3 the ox knows its owner And the donkey its master’s crib; but Israel does not know, my people do not consider. 4 Alas, sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a brood of evildoers, children who are corrupters! They have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked to anger the Holy One of Israel, they have turned away backward.

Viåenje Izaije, sina Amosova koji je gledao nad Judom i Jeruzalemom u dane Uzije, Jotama, Ahaza i Ezekije judejskih kraljeva. 2 Çujte, nebesa, sluæaj, zemljo–jer Gospodin je to izrekao: “Djecu sam odgojio i podigao, ali se podigla protiv mene. 3 Vol poznaje svojega gospodara i magarac jasle svojega gospodara; a Izrael ne poznaje, moj narod ne razumije.” 4 Jao, grijeæni naraætaju, narode zlodjelima natovareni, leglo zlikovaca, djeco izroåena. Oni su ostavili Gospodina, pogrdili su Sveca Izraelova, okrenuli mu leåa.

Now let me sing to my Well-beloved a song of my Beloved regarding his vineyard: my Well-beloved has a vineyard On a very fruitful hill. 2 He dug it up and cleared out its stones, and planted it with the choicest vine. He built a tower in its midst, and also made a winepress in it; so he expected it to bring forth good grapes, but it brought forth wild grapes. 3 And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, judge, please, between me and my vineyard. 4 What more could have been done to my vineyard that I have not done in it? Why then, when I expected it to bring forth good grapes, did it bring forth wild grapes? 5 And now, please let me tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away its hedge, and it shall be burned; and break down its wall, and it shall be trampled down. 6 I will lay it waste; it shall not be pruned or dug, but there shall come up briers and thorns. I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain on it. 7 For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah are his pleasant plant. He looked for justice, but behold, oppression; for righteousness, but behold, weeping. 8 Woe to those who join house to house, who add field to field, till there is no place Where they may dwell alone in the midst of the land! 9 In my hearing the LORD of hosts said, Truly, many houses shall be desolate, great and beautiful ones, without inhabitant. 10 For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and a homer of seed shall yield one ephah. 11 Woe to those who rise early in the morning, that they may follow intoxicating drink; who continue until night, till wine inflames them! 12 The harp and the strings, the tambourine and flute, and wine are in their feasts; but they do not regard the work of the LORD, nor consider the operation of his hands. 13 Therefore my people have gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge; their honorable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst. 14 Therefore Sheol has enlarged itself and opened its mouth beyond measure; their glory and their multitude and their pomp, and he who is jubilant, shall descend into it.

Prijetnja Boœjim sudom i neprijateljskim upadom

Zapjevat øu o svojem ljubljenomu, pjesmu svojega ljubljenoga o njegovu vinogradu. Vinograd je imao ljubljeni moj na plodnoj uzvisini. 2 On ga je ogradio i iskrçio iz njega kamenje i zasadio u njemu lozu plemenitu. Sagradio je u njemu kulu, napravio tijesak i nadao se da øe roditi groœåem, a on rodi divljim groœåem. 3 I sada, stanovnici Jeruzalema, ljudi iz Jude, sudite izmeåu mene i mojega vinograda. 4 Æto je joæ trebalo uçiniti mojem vinogradu, a da mu nisam uçinio? Nisam li se smio nadati da øe roditi groœåem, a on rodi divljim groœåem. 5 Pa da vam sada javim æto øu uçiniti svojem vinogradu: sruæit øu njegovu ogradu, neka postane paænjak, sruæit øu njegov zid, neka se gazi. 6 Uçinit øu ga pustinjom, neøe se obrezivati ni okopavati. Buknut øe u njemu draça i trnje, i zapovjedit øu oblacima da ne puætaju viæe na njega kiæu. 7 Jer je kuøa Izraelova vinograd Gospodina vojska i sada su Judini ljudi njegove miline. On se nadao dobru djelu, a eto zlo djelo, nadao se pravdi, a eto zloøa. 8 Jao vama koji sastavljate kuøu s kuøom, njivu na njivu nastavljate, dok viæe nema mjesta za njih da sami œive usred zemlje. 9 U mojim uæima zvuçi rijeç Gospodina vojska: zaista, mnoge øe kuøe opustjeti, bile i tako velike i tako lijepe; ostat øe bez ljudi. 10 Jer øe deset rala vinograda dati jedan bat, jedan homer sjemena dat øe efu. 11 Jao vama koji se rano ujutro opijate i do kasno u noø sjedite i gorite od vina. 12 Citara i harfa, bubanj i frula i vino na vaæim su gozbama, a ne pazite na djelo Gospodinovo i ne vidite djela njegovih ruku. 13 Zato mora moj narod putovati u ropstvo, jer nije imao razboritosti.

Moreover the LORD said to me, “Take a large scroll, and write on it with a man’s pen concerning Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz. 2 And I will take for myself faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the priest and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.” 3 Then I went to the prophetess, and she conceived and bore a son. Then the LORD said to me, “Call his name Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz; 4 for before the child shall have knowledge to cry ‘My father’ and ‘My mother,’ the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria will be taken away before the king of Assyria.” 5 The LORD also spoke to me again, saying: 6 “Inasmuch as these people refused the waters of Shiloah that flow softly, and rejoice in Rezin and in Remaliah’s son; 7 now therefore, behold, the LORD brings up over them the waters of the River, strong and mighty–the king of Assyria and all his glory; he will go up over all his channels and go over all his banks. 8 He will pass through Judah, he will overflow and pass over, he will reach up to the neck; and the stretching out of his wings will fill the breadth of your land, O Immanuel. 9 Be shattered, O you peoples, and be broken in pieces! Give ear, all you from far countries. Gird yourselves, but be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, but be broken in pieces. 10 Take counsel together, but it will come to nothing; speak the word, but it will not stand, for God is with us.” 11 For the LORD spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying: 12 “Do not say, ‘A conspiracy,’ concerning all that this people call a conspiracy, nor be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled. 13 The LORD of hosts, him you shall hallow; Let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. 14 He will be as a sanctuary, but a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense to both the houses of Israel, as a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 15 And many among them shall stumble; they shall fall and be broken, be snared and taken.”

Gospodin mi rekao dalje: “Uzmi veliku skrolu i napiæi na njoj çovjeçjim pismom: Maher-Æalal-Haæ-Baz - Hitro grabi, brzi plijen. 2 I ja øu sebi uzeti pouzdane svjedoke, da zapiæu, sveøenika Uriju i Zahariju, sina Berekijina.” 3 Onda sam ja uæao k proroçici, ona je zatrudnjela i rodila sina, a Gospodin mi je rekao: “Nadjeni mu ime Maher-Æalal-Haæ-Baz; 4 jer prije nego joæ djeçak nauçi zvati ‘oçe’ i ‘majko’ donijet øe se bogatstvo Damaska i plijen Samarije pred asirskog kralja.” 5 Opet mi je rekao Gospodin: 6 “Jer ovaj narod prezire vode Æiloaha æto tiho teku, i drœi se s Resinom i sinom Remalijinim, 7 Stoga sada øe Gospodin na njih navesti velike i silne vode Eufrata: kralja Asirije i svu njegovu moø. On øe se popeti iznad svih svojih korita, prelit øe iznad svih svojih obala. 8 Razlit øe se preko Jude, razlit se i poplaviti dok doåe do grla. Krila øe mu se raæiriti preko tvoje svekolike zemlje, o Emanuele. 9 Budite razbijeni, o narodi, i budite smrvljeni! Çujte, sve zemlje iz daljine. Oruœajte se, ali budite razbijeni u komade. Oruœajte se, ali budite razbijeni u komade. 10 Snujte naum, ali se neøe ostvariti. Stvorite odluku, ali neøe biti od nje niæta, jer je Bog s nama.” 11 Jer mi je ovako rekao Gospodin kad je njegova ruka teæko leœala na meni i on me opomenuo da ne idem putom ovoga naroda: 12 “Ne zovite urotom sve ono æto ovaj narod zove urotom, i onoga çega se on boji, ne bojte se i ne straæite se. 13 Gospodina vojska, njega drœite svetim, on neka vam je strah i on neka vam je bojazan. 14 On øe biti kao svetinja, kamen spoticanja, hrid povrede za obje Izraelove kuøe, zamka i mreœa za stanovnike Jeruzalema. 15 Mnogi se od njih spotiçu i padaju, bit øe satrveni, zapleteni i uhvaøeni.” 16 Ja øu saçuvati svjedoçanstvo, zapeçatiti objavu u svojim uçenicima.

Nevertheless the gloom will not be upon her who is distressed, as when at first he lightly esteemed the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward more heavily oppressed her, by the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, in Galilee of the Gentiles. 2 The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, upon them a light has shined. 3 You have multiplied the nation and increased its joy; they rejoice before you According to the joy of harvest, as men rejoice when they divide the spoil. 4 For you have broken the yoke of his burden and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian. 5 For every warrior’s sandal from the noisy battle, and garments rolled in blood, will be used for burning and fuel of fire. 6 For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon his shoulder. And his name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 7 Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end, upon the throne of David and over his kingdom, to order it and establish it with judgment and justice from that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this. 8 The LORD sent a word against Jacob, and it has fallen on Israel. 9 All the people will know–Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria–who say in pride and arrogance of heart: 10 “The bricks have fallen down, but we will rebuild with hewn stones; the sycamores are cut down, but we will replace them with cedars.” 11 Therefore the LORD shall set up the adversaries of Rezin against him, and spur his enemies on, 12 the Syrians before and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Israel with an open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still. 13 For the people do not turn to him who strikes them, nor do they seek the LORD of hosts. 14 Therefore the LORD will cut off head and tail from Israel, palm branch and bulrush in one day. 15 The elder and honorable, he is the head; the prophet who teaches lies, he is the tail. 16 For the leaders of this people cause them to err, and those who are led by them are destroyed. 17 Therefore the LORD will have no joy in their young

Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees, who write misfortune, which they have prescribed 2 to rob the needy of justice, and to take what is right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless. 3 What will you do in the day of punishment, and in the desolation which will come from afar? To whom will you flee for help? And where will you leave your glory? 4 Without me they shall bow down among the prisoners, and they shall fall among the slain.” For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still. 5 Woe to Assyria, the rod of my anger and the staff in whose hand is my indignation. 6 I will send him against an ungodly nation, and against the people of my wrath I will give him charge, to seize the spoil, to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets. 7 Yet he does not mean so, nor does his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy, and cut off not a few nations. 8 For he says, “Are not my princes altogether kings? 9 Is not Calno like Carchemish? Is not Hamath like Arpad? Is not Samaria like Damascus? 10 As my hand has found the kingdoms of the idols, whose carved images excelled those of Jerusalem and Samaria, 11 as I have done to Samaria and her idols, shall I not do also to Jerusalem and her idols?” 12 Therefore it shall come to pass, when the LORD has performed all his work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, that he will say, “I will punish the fruit of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his haughty looks.” 13 For he says: “By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom, for I am prudent; also I have removed the boundaries of the people, and have robbed their treasuries; so I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant man. 14 My hand has found like a nest the riches of the people, and as one gathers eggs that are left, I have gathered all the earth; and there was no one who moved his wing, nor opened his mouth with even a peep.” 15 Shall the ax boast itself against him who chops with it? Or shall the saw magnify itself against him who saws with it? As if a rod could wield itself against those who lift it up, or as if a staff could lift up, as if it

Kazna nad nepravednim upraviteljima

Teæko onima koji proglaæuju nepravedne zakone i onima, koji piæu naputke nesreøe æto su ih propisali, 2 da odbiju od suda uboge, da siromasima mojega naroda ugrabe pravicu, da im plijen budu udovice i da mognu opljaçkati sirote. 3 Æto øete çiniti u dan pohoåenja i zla vremena æto dolazi izdaleka? Komu øete se uteøi za pomoø i gdje øete ostaviti svoje bogatstvo? 4 Ne preostaje niæta nego da se prignete meåu roblje, da padnete meåu pobijene. Na sve to nije popustio njegov gnjev, i ostala je joæ uvijek ispruœena njegova ruka. 5 Teæko Asiriji: æibi mojega gnjeva, palici jarosti moje u mojoj ruci. 6 Protiv naroda bezboœnoga æaljem ga; protiv naroda na koji se gnjevim, zapovjedam mu da plijeni i otima sebi i da ga izgazi kao blato na ulicama. 7 Ali on ne shvaøa tako, njegovo srce ne misli tako. Ne, samo uniætenje ima on u srcu da iskorijeni mnoge narode. 8 Jer on kaœe: “Nisu li kraljevi svi moji vladari? 9 Nije li Kalno kao Karkemiæ? Nije li Hamat kao Arpad? Nije li Samarija kao Damask? 10 Kako je moja ruka podizala kraljevstva idola, çiji su izrezbareni kipovi nadmaæili one u Jeruzalemu i Samariji, 11 kako sam uçinio Samariji i njezinim idolima neøu li uçiniti i Jeruzalemu i njegovim idolima onako kako sam uçinio Samariji i njezinim idolima?” 12 Ali kad dovræi Gospodin sve djelo svoje na Gori Sionu i u Jeruzalemu, onda øu kazniti oholo djelovanje asirskog kralja i ponosito sijevanje njegovih oçiju. 13 Jer je rekao: “Snagom svojih ruku to sam izveo i svojom mudroæøu, jer sam tako razuman. Uklonio sam meåe narodima, zaplijenio sam njihovo blago, kao junak sruæio sam stanovnike. 14 Moja je ruka uhvatila gnijezdo bogatstva naroda, kako se nagrabe ostavljena jaja, tako sam uzeo svu zemlju i nitko nije maknuo krilima, ni kljuna otvorio ili se usudio cvrknuti.” 15 Hoøe li se sjekira veliçati nad onim koji njom sijeçe? Hoøe li se pila veliçati nad onim koji ju vuçe? Kao da bi se prut podigao i mahao nad onima koji ga dignuo, i kao da bi se ætap podi-

The burden against Egypt. Behold, the LORD rides on a swift cloud, and will come into Egypt; the idols of Egypt will totter at his presence, and the heart of Egypt will melt in its midst. 2 I will set Egyptians against Egyptians; everyone will fight against his brother, and everyone against his neighbor, city against city, kingdom against kingdom. 3 The spirit of Egypt will fail in its midst; I will destroy their counsel, and they will consult the idols and the charmers, the mediums and the sorcerers. 4 And the Egyptians I will give into the hand of a cruel master, and a fierce king will rule over them, says the LORD, the LORD of hosts. 5 The waters will fail from the sea, and the river will be wasted and dried up. 6 The rivers will turn foul, and the brooks of defense will be emptied and dried up; the reeds and rushes will wither. 7 The papyrus reeds by the River, by the mouth of the River, and everything sown by the River, will wither, be driven away, and be no more. 8 The fishermen also will mourn; all those will lament who cast hooks into the River, and they will languish who spread nets on the waters. 9 Moreover those who work in fine flax and those who weave fine fabric will be ashamed; 10 And its foundations will be broken. All who make wages will be troubled of soul. 11 Surely the princes of Zoan are fools; Pharaoh’s wise counselors give foolish counsel. How do you say to Pharaoh, “I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?” 12 Where are they? Where are your wise men? Let them tell you now, and let them know what the LORD of hosts has purposed against Egypt. 13 The princes of Zoan have become fools; the princes of Noph are deceived; they have also deluded Egypt, those who are the mainstay of its tribes. 14 The LORD has mingled a perverse spirit in her midst; and they have caused Egypt to err in all her work, as a drunken man staggers in his vomit. 15 Neither will there be any work for Egypt, which the head or tail, palm branch or bulrush, may do. 16 In that day Egypt will be like women, and will be afraid and fear because of the waving of the hand of the LORD of hosts, which he waves over it. 17 And the land of Judah will be a terror to Egypt; everyone who makes mention of it will be afraid in

Proroçanstvo o propasti Egipta

Proroçka rijeç protiv Egipta: Gle, Gospodin prolazi na brzu oblaku i dolazi u Egipat. Egipatski Idoli se tresu pred njim, srce Egipøana øe se topiti u njihovim grudima. 2 Onda øu razdraœiti Egipat protiv Egipta, da se bore meåu sobom, brat protiv brata, bliœnji protiv bliœnjega, grad protiv grada, kraljevstvo protiv kraljevstva. 3 Egipøanima øe nestati razboritosti u njihovu srcu, razbit øu njihove naume.

The burden against the Wilderness of the Sea. As whirlwinds in the South pass through, so it comes from the desert, from a terrible land. 2 a distressing vision is declared to me; the treacherous dealer deals treacherously, and the plunderer plunders. Go up, O Elam! Besiege, O Media! All its sighing I have made to cease. 3 Therefore my loins are filled with pain; pangs have taken hold of me, like the pangs of a woman in labor. I was distressed when I heard it; I was dismayed when I saw it. 4 My heart wavered, fearfulness frightened me; the night for which I longed he turned into fear for me. 5 Prepare the table, set a watchman in the tower, eat and drink. Arise, you princes, anoint the shield! 6 For thus has the LORD said to me: “Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he sees.” 7 And he saw a chariot with a pair of horsemen, a chariot of donkeys, and a chariot of camels, and he listened diligently with great care.

Proroçka rijeç protiv Doljine viåenja: Kao æto bura prohuji na jugu, tako dolazi iz pustinje, iz strahovite zemlje. 2 Ljuto viåenje objavilo mi se: razbojnik robi, pustoænik pustoæi. Uzaåi, Elame, opkoli, Medijo! Çinim kraj svemu uzdisanju u Babilonu. 3 Zato su moja bedra puna grçeva, bolovi me obuzimaju kao trudovi rodilju; zagluæen sam bio onim æto sam çuo, zbunjen onim æto sam vidio. 4 Smeteno mi kucalo srce, groza me hvatala, mraçno doba za kojim sam çeznuo, pretvorilo mi se u strahotu. 5 Spremi stol, prostri stolnjak, jedi i pij. Ustajte vladari, pomaœite ætit! 6 Jer ovako mi je rekao Gospodin: “Idi, postavi straœara, neka javi æto vidi!” 7 Vidio je kola s dva konja, kola s magarcima i

He calls to me out of “Straœaru, kako je daleko noø, straœaru, kako je Seir, “Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, daleko noø?” 12 Straœar govori: “Jutro dolazi, a i noø; ako howhat of the night?” 12 The watchman said, “The morning comes, and øete pitati, pitajte i doåite samo opet!” also the night.

The burden against the Valley of Vision. What ails you now, that you have all gone up to the housetops, 2 you who are full of noise, a tumultuous city, a joyous city? Your slain men are not slain with the sword, Nor dead in battle. 3 All your rulers have fled together; they are captured by the archers. All who are found in you are bound together, who have fled from afar. 4 Therefore I said, Look away from me, I will weep bitterly; do not labor to comfort me because of the plundering of the daughter of my people. 5 For it is a day of trouble and treading down and perplexity by the LORD God of hosts in the Valley of Vision–breaking down the walls and of crying to the mountain. 6 Elam bore the quiver with chariots of men and horsemen, and Kir uncovered the shield. 7 It shall come to pass that your choicest valleys shall be full of chariots, and the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate. 8 He removed the protection of Judah. You looked in that day to the armor of the House of the Forest; 9 You also saw the damage to the city of David, that it was great; and you gathered together the waters of the lower pool. 10 You numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses you broke down to fortify the wall. 11 You also made a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool. But you did not look to its Maker, nor did you have respect for him who fashioned it long ago. 12 And in that day the LORD God of hosts called for weeping and for mourning, for baldness and for girding with sackcloth. 13 But instead, joy and gladness, slaying oxen and killing sheep, eating meat and drinking wine: “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!” 14 Then it was revealed in my hearing by the LORD of hosts, Surely for this iniquity there will be no atone-

Proroçanstvo protiv Jeruzalema

Proroçka rijeç protiv Doline viåenja: Æto ti je, te je sav tvoj narod uzaæao na krovove. 2 Grade, koji viçeæ i buçiæ, grade veseli. Tvoji pobijeni nisu pobijeni maçem, nisu poginuli u ratu. 3 Tvoji su svi vladari pobjegli, ali su pohvatani bez hitaca s lßka. Svi su tvoji ratnici pohvatani, a bjeœali su daleko. 4 Zato kaœem: Ostavite me, ja moram plakati gorko. Ne trudite se da me tjeæite zbog uniætenja mojega naroda. 5 Dan zabune, zatiranja, pometnje dolazi od Svemoønoga, Gospodina vojska nad Dolinu viåenja. Potkopavaju se zidovi, i ori se vika na goru. 6 Elam je uzeo tobolac na zapregnutim kolima, i Kir je otkrio ætit. 7 Tvoje krasne doline bile su pune kola, na gradskim vratima namjestili se konjanici. 8 Tako je on oduzeo Judin zaklon, a ovaj je u ono vrijeme gledao na oruœje u Æumskoj kuøi. 9 Vidjeli ste da je mnogo pukotina na Davidovu gradu i skupili ste vodu Donjega bazena. 10 Razgledali ste kuøe Jeruzalema i poruæili ste kuøe da utvrdite zid. 11 Naçinili ste jaz meåu dva zida za vodu staroga jezera, ali niste pogledali onoga koji je to tako uredio, i niste se obazirali na onoga koji je to odavna odredio. 12 Gospodin Bog vojska pozvao vas je u onaj dan da plaçete i tugujete, da oæiæate kose, da nosite œalobne haljine. 13 Ali eto, radost i veselje, ubijaju goveda i kolju ovce, jedu meso i piju vino: “Jedite i pijte, jer sutra smo mrtvi!” 14 Zato mi se Gospodin, u moje uæi, opet javio: “Zaista, neøe vam se oprostiti ova zlodjela dok ne umrete,” govori Gospodin Bog vojska. 15 Ovako veliki Gospodin Bog vojska: “Ustani,

The burden against Tyre. Wail, you ships of Tarshish! For it is laid waste, so that there is no house, no harbor; from the land of Cyprus it is revealed to them. 2 Be still, you inhabitants of the coastland, you merchants of Sidon, whom those who cross the sea have filled. 3 And on great waters the grain of Shihor, the harvest of the River, is her revenue; and she is a marketplace for the nations. 4 Be ashamed, O Sidon; for the sea has spoken, the strength of the sea, saying, “I do not labor, nor bring forth children; neither do I rear young men, nor bring up virgins.” 5 When the report comes to Egypt, they also will be in agony at the report of Tyre. 6 Cross over to Tarshish; wail, you inhabitants of the coastland! 7 Is this your joyous city, whose antiquity is from ancient days, whose feet carried her far off to sojourn? 8 Who has taken this counsel against Tyre, the crowning city, whose merchants are princes, whose traders are the honorable of the earth? 9 The L ORD of hosts has purposed it, to bring to dishonor the pride of all glory, and to bring into contempt all the honorable of the earth. 10 Overflow through your land like the River, O daughter of Tarshish; there is no more strength. 11 He stretched out his hand over the sea, he shook the kingdoms; the LORD has given a commandment against Canaan to destroy its strongholds. 12 And he said, “You will rejoice no more, O you oppressed virgin daughter of Sidon. Arise, cross over to Cyprus; there also you will have no rest.” 13 Behold, the land of the Chaldeans, this people which was not; Assyria founded it for wild beasts of

Kazneni sud nad Tirom

Proroçka rijeç protiv Tiarama. Jauçite, laåe taræiæke, jer vlada pustoæ. Nema kuøe, nema viæe povratka kuøi, iz zemlje Kitima doæla im je vijest. 2 Umuknite, stanovnici primorja, trgovci Sidona, pomorci su te do sada punili! 3 Po velikim vodama dolazilo mu œito Æihora, œetva Rijeke, njegov prihod; tako je postao sajmiæte narodima. 4 Stidi se, Sidone, jer govori more, sila mora: “Ne muçim se poroåajem, ne raåam. Ne odvajam momaka, ne podiœem djevojaka.” 5 Kad prodre vijest u Egipat, zadrhtat øe na vijest o Tiru. 6 Idite ondje u Taræiæ, jauçite, stanovnici primorja. 7 Je li to vaæ veliki grad, çija je starina od davnina, çije su ga noge nosile u daljinu da se naseli ondje. 8 Tko je to smislio protiv Tira, koji je razdavao krune, çiji su trgovci bili vladari, çiji su prekupci bili slavni na zemlji. 9 Gospodin vojska ti je smislio da osramoti svaki oholi sjaj, da poniæti sve slavne na zemlji. 10 Poplavi svoju zemlju kao Rijeku, køeri taræiæka, nema tu viæe pojasa. 11 Gospodin je svoju ruku pruœio protiv mora, zatresao je kraljevstva. Gospodin je izdao zapovijed protiv Kanaana, da se razore njegova tvrda mjesta. 12 On je rekao: “Neøeæ se viæe veseliti, osramoøena djevojko, køeri sidonska! Ustani, idi u Kitim, ali ni ondje neøeæ naøi pokoja.” 13 Gle, zemlja Kaldejaca, ovo je narod koji to nije bio; Asirija ga utemeljila za pustinjske œivotinje on ga pripravio, podigao svoje kule, razo-

Poslije sedamdeset godina bit øe Tiru one king. At the end of seventy years it will happen to kako glasi u pjesmi o bludnici: 16 Uzmi citaru, idi po gradu, zaboravljena bludTyre as in the song of the harlot: 16 Take a harp, go about the city, you forgotten har- nice!

Behold, the LORD makes the earth empty and makes it waste, distorts its surface and scatters abroad its inhabitants. 2 And it shall be: as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the creditor, so with the debtor. 3 The land shall be entirely emptied and utterly plundered, for the LORD has spoken this word. 4 The earth mourns and fades away, the world languishes and fades away; the haughty people of the earth languish. 5 The earth is also defiled under its inhabitants, because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, Broken the everlasting covenant. 6 Therefore the curse has devoured the earth, and those who dwell in it are desolate. Therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men are left. 7 The new wine fails, the vine languishes, all the merry-hearted sigh. 8 The mirth of the tambourine ceases, the noise of the jubilant ends, the joy of the harp ceases. 9 They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink is bitter to those who drink it. 10 The city of confusion is broken down; every house is shut up, so that none may go in. 11 There is a crying for wine in the streets, all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone. 12 In the city desolation is left, and the gate is stricken with destruction. 13 When it shall be thus in the midst of the land among the people, it shall be like the shaking of an olive tree, like the gleaning of grapes when the vintage is done. 14 They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing; for the majesty of the LORD they shall cry aloud from the sea. 15 Therefore glorify the LORD in the dawning light, the name of the LORD God of Israel in the coastlands of the sea. 16 From the ends of the earth we have heard songs: Glory to the righteous! But I said, I am ruined, ruined! Woe to me! The treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously, indeed, the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously. 17 Fear and the pit and the snare are upon you, O inhabitant of the earth. 18 And it shall be that he who flees from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit, and he who comes up from the midst of the pit shall be caught in the snare;

Straæni sud

Gle, Gospodin ispraœnjuje zemlju, pustoæi je, nagråuje njezino lice, raspræuje njezine stanovnike. 2 Sveøeniku je kao i narodu, gospodaru kao njegovu sluzi, gospodarici kao njezinoj sluækinji, prodavaçu kao kupcu, uzajmitelju kao zajmoprimcu, vjerovniku kao duœniku. 3 Zemlja øe se sasvim isprazniti i potpuno oplijeniti–jer Gospodin je to izrekao. 4 Zemlja tuguje, vene, sav svijet gine, vene; oholi ljudi klonu. 5 Oskvrnjena je zemlja po svojim stanovnicima, jer su prestupili zapovijedi, zakone prekoraçili, vjeçni zavjet poniætili. 6 Zato prokletstvo proœdire zemlju i njezini stanovnici ispaætaju. Zato izgaraju stanovnici zemlje, i od smrtnika ostaje ih samo malo. 7 Tuguje vino, loza vinova izumire, uzdiæu svi koji su bili veseli. 8 Prestalo je veselje uz bubnjeve, nestalo je graje onih koji se vesele, i umuknula je vesela citara. 9 Ne pije se viæe vino uz pjevanje, gorko je piøe pijancima. 10 U ruæevinama leœi pusti grad, sve su kuøe pozatvarane. 11 Glasna tuœnjava po ulicama za vinom, proælo je svako veselje, otiæla radost na zemlji. 12 Ostala je u gradu samo pustoæ, i vrata su poruæena. 13 Jer øe biti tako na zemlji meåu narodima, kao kad se tuku masline, kao kad se paljetkuje groœåe poslije berbe. 14 Oni øe s mora podiøi glas i pjevati o veliçanstvu Gospodinovu. 15 Zato slavite Gospodina, stanovnici istoka, na morskim obalama, Ime Gospodina, Boga Izraelova! 16 Çuli smo pjesme s kraja zemlje: “Slava Pravednomu!” A ja govorim: “Ja sam propao, ja sam propao! Teæko meni! Nevjernici rade nevjerno, nevjeru çine nevjernici nevjerno. 17 Strahota, jama i mreœa dolaze na tebe, stanovniçe zemlje! 18 Bit øe da tko pobjegne od strahote, past øe u jamu, tko iziåe iz jame, uhvatit øe se u mreœu, jer su ustave u visini otvorene i tresu se temelji zemlji. 19 Zemlja se razbija, raspada, zemlja se razdire, lomi, zemlja se trese ondje, miçe se ovamo.

O LORD, you are my God. I will exalt you, I will praise your name, for you have done wonderful things; your counsels of old are faithfulness and truth. 2 For you have made a city a ruin, a fortified city a ruin, a palace of foreigners to be a city no more; it will never be rebuilt. 3 Therefore the strong people will glorify you; the city of the terrible nations will fear you. 4 For you have been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat; for the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall. 5 You will reduce the noise of aliens, as heat in a dry place; as heat in the shadow of a cloud, the song of the terrible ones will be diminished. 6 And in this mountain the LORD of hosts will make for all people a feast of choice pieces, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of well-refined wines on the lees. 7 And he will destroy on this mountain the surface of the covering cast over all people, and the veil that is spread over all nations. 8 He will swallow up death forever, and the LORD God will wipe away tears from all faces; the rebuke of his people he will take away from all the earth; for the LORD has spoken. 9 And it will be said in that day: Behold, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us. This is the LORD; we have waited for him; we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation. 10 For on this mountain the hand of the LORD will rest, and Moab shall be trampled down under him, as straw is trampled down for the refuse heap. 11 And he will spread out his hands in their midst as he who swims spreads out his hands to swim, and he will bring down their pride together with the trickery of their hands. 12 The fortress of the high fort of your walls he will bring down, lay low, and bring to the ground, down to the dust.

Ti si moj Bog, Gospodine, tebe ja slavim, tvojem Imenu pjevam hvalu, jer si uçinio çudesna djela, odluke iz davnoga doba u vjernosti i istini. 2 Jer si grad pretvorio u ruæevinu, utvråeno mjesto u ruæevine, kuøe oholih u izgubljeni grad i nikad se viæe neøe sagraditi. 3 Zato øe ti se jaki narodi klanjati, bojat øe te se gradovi silnih naroda. 4 Jest, bio si branik malenomu, branik siromahu u njegovoj nevolji, krov od oluje, sjena od sunçane œege, jer je gnjev nasilnika kao zimski pljusak koji udara o zid. 5 Kao sunçana œega nad suhom zemljom, jer si uguæio buku oholih. Kao sjenom oblaka sunçanu œegu, tako si uguæio pjevanje nasilnika. 6 Pripravit øe Gospodin vojska svim narodima na ovoj gori gozbu izabranoga, gozbu od pretiline, gozbu izvrsna vina, najboljih najljepæih jela i srœi, i starih najçiæøih vina. 7 Uniætit øe on na ovoj gori pokrivaç kojim su pokriveni svi narodi, zastor æto zastire sve narode. 8 On øe uniætiti smrt zauvijek, Gospodin Bog øe izbrisati suze sa svakoga lica. Sramotu svojega naroda øe ukloniti sa sve zemlje. Jer Gospodin je to izrekao. 9 Reøi øe se u onaj dan: “Gle, ovo je naæ Bog, koga smo çekali da øe nas spasiti; ovo je Gospodin u koga se uzdajemo! Veselimo se i radujmo se zbog njegove pomoøi!” 10 Jer øe ruka Gospodinova poçivati na ovoj gori i na njezinu mjestu pogazit øe se Moab, kao æto se slama gazi na gumnu. 11 I makar on pritom razmahuje svoje ruke, kao æto razmahuje plivaç kad pliva: Gospodin øe sruæiti njegovo penjanje naprotiv vjeætim kretnjama njegovih ruku. 12 On øe tvrde, strme zidove tvoje razruæiti, sruæiti, baciti na zemlju u prah.

Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, whose glorious beauty is a fading flower which is at the head of the verdant valleys, to those who are overcome with wine! 2 Behold, the LORD has a mighty and strong one, like a tempest of hail and a destroying storm, like a flood of mighty waters overflowing, who will bring them down to the earth with his hand. 3 The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, will be trampled under foot; 4 and the glorious beauty is a fading flower which is at the head of the verdant valley, like the first fruit before the summer, which an observer sees; he eats it up while it is still in his hand. 5 In that day the LORD of hosts will be for a crown of glory and a diadem of beauty to the remnant of his people, 6 for a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment, and for strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate. 7 But they also have erred through wine, and through intoxicating drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through intoxicating drink, they are swallowed up by wine, they are out of the way through intoxicating drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment. 8 For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that no place is clean. 9 “Whom will he teach knowledge? and whom will he make to understand the message? Those just weaned from milk? Those just drawn from the breasts? 10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line, here a little, there a little.” 11 For with stammering lips and another tongue he will speak to this people, 12 to whom he said, “This is the rest with which you may cause the weary to rest,” And, “This is the refreshing”; yet they would not hear. 13 But the word of the LORD was to them, “Precept upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line, here a little, there a little,” that they might go and fall backward, and be broken and snared and caught. 14 Therefore hear the word of the LORD, you scornful

And so it was, when King Hezekiah heard it, that he tore his clothes, covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the LORD. 2 Then he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz. 3 And they said to him, “Thus says Hezekiah: ‘This day is a day of trouble and rebuke and blasphemy; for the children have come to birth, but there is no strength to bring them forth. 4 It may be that the LORD your God will hear the words of the Rabshakeh, whom his master the king of Assyria has sent to reproach the living God, and will reprove the words which the LORD your God has heard. Therefore lift up your prayer for the remnant that is left.’ ” 5 So the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah. 6 And Isaiah said to them, “Thus shall you say to your master, ‘Thus says the LORD: Do not be afraid of the words which you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me. 7 Surely I will send a spirit upon him, and he shall hear a rumor and return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.’ ” 8 So the Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah, for he had heard that he had departed from Lachish. 9 And the king heard concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, “He has come out to make war with you.” So when he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying, 10 “Thus you shall speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying: ‘Do not let your God in whom you trust deceive you, saying, Jerusalem will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria. 11 Look! You have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands by utterly destroying them; and will you be delivered? 12 Have the gods of the nations delivered those whom my fathers have destroyed, Gozan and Haran and Rezeph, and the people of Eden who were in Telassar? 13 Where is the king of Hamath, the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah?’ ” 14 And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of

Kad je to çuo kralj Ezekija, razderao je svoje haljine, odjenuo je pokorniçku odjeøu i otiæao u Gospodinov dom. 2 Predstojnika dvora Elijakima, drœavnog pisara Æebnu i starjeæine sveøenstva posla, isto tako odjevene u pokorniçku odjeøu, k proroku Izaiji, sinu Amosovu. 3 Oni su mu imali reøi: “Ovako govori Ezekija: ‘Dan nevolje, kazne i pogrde danaænji je dan, jer su prispjela djeca do poroåaja, a nema snage da se rode. 4 Moœda çuje Gospodin, tvoj Bog, rijeçi Rabæaka, koga je gospodar njegov, asirski kralj, poslao ovamo da se naruga Bogu œivomu, te ga kazni zbog rijeçi koje je çuo Gospodin, tvoj Bog. Pomoli se stoga za ostatak koji se joæ nalazi!’ ” 5 I tako poslanici kralja Ezekije doæli su k Izaiji. 6 Izaija im rekao: “Javite ovo svojem gospodaru: ‘Ovako govori Gospodin: Ne boj se od rijeçi æto si ih çuo kad su mi se narugale sluge asirskog kralja! 7 Evo, ja øu mu udahnuti namisao da se vrati u svoju zemlju kad çuje jednu vijest. A ja øu uçiniti da u njegovoj zemlji pogine od maça.’ ” 8 Na povratku naæao je Rabæak asirskog kralja gdje opsjeda Libnu, a bio je çuo da je ovaj otiæao od Lakiæa. 9 Kralju je bilo doælo do uæiju: “Tirhaka, etiopski kralj, iziæao u boj protiv tebe.” Na ovu vijest poslao glasnika Ezekiji s nalogom: 10 “Ovako øete govoriti Ezekiji, kralju Judinu: ‘‘Nemoj da te zavara tvoj Bog u koga se uzdajeæ misleøi da neøe Jeruzalem pasti u ruke kralju asirskomu. 11 Sam si çuo æto su uçinili kraljevi asirski svim zemljama satrvæi ih sasvim, a ti da se izbaviæ? 12 Jesu li moœda bogovi naroda, koje su satrli moji oçevi, njih izbavili, Gozance, Harance, Resefce i Edence u Telasaru? 13 Gdje je kralj hamatski, arpadski kralj, kralj grada Sefarvajima, pa onaj od Hene i Ive?’ ” 14 Ezekija je primio pismo od glasnika, proçitao ga i otiæao u Gospodinov dom i ondje ga Ezekija razmotao pred Gospodinom. 15 Onda se pomolio Ezekija pred Gospodinom, govoreøi: 16 “Gospodine vojska, Boœe Izraelov, koji imaæ

At that time Merodach-Baladan the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah, for he heard that he had been sick and had recovered. 2 And Hezekiah was pleased with them, and showed them the house of his treasures–the silver and gold, the spices and precious ointment, and all his armory–all that was found among his treasures. There was nothing in his house or in all his dominion that Hezekiah did not show them. 3 Then Isaiah the prophet went to King Hezekiah, and said to him, “What did these men say, and from where did they come to you?” And Hezekiah said, “They came to me from a far country, from Babylon.” 4 And he said, “What have they seen in your house?” So Hezekiah answered, “They have seen all that is in my house; there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shown them.” 5 Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the word of the LORD of hosts: 6 Behold, the days are coming when all that is in your house, and what your fathers have accumulated until this day, shall be carried to Babylon; nothing shall be left, says the LORD. 7 And they shall take away some of your sons who will descend from you, whom you will beget; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.” 8 Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “The word of the LORD which you have spoken is good!” For he said, “At least there will be peace and truth in my days.”

“Comfort, yes, comfort my people! says your God. 2 Speak comfort to Jerusalem, and cry out to her, that her warfare is ended, that her iniquity is pardoned; for she has received from the LORD’s hand double for all her sins.” 3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness: “Prepare the way of the LORD; make straight in the desert a highway for our God. 4 Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; the crooked places shall be made straight, and the rough places smooth; 5 the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together; for the mouth of the LORD has spoken.” 6 The voice said, “Cry out!” and he said, “What shall I cry?” All flesh is grass, and all its loveliness is like the flower of the field. 7 The grass withers, the flower fades, because the breath of the LORD blows upon it; surely the people are grass. 8 The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God stands forever. 9 O Zion, you who bring good tidings, get up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, you who bring good tidings, lift up your voice with strength, lift it up, be not afraid; say to the cities of Judah, “Behold your God!” 10 Behold, the LORD God shall come with a strong

U ono vrijeme babilonski kralj Merodak Baladan, sin Baladanov, poslao Ezekiji pismo s darovima. On je, naime, bio çuo, da je bio bolestan i opet ozdravio. 2 Ezekija se obradovao tomu i pokazao im svoju riznicu, srebro i zlato, mirise i skupocjeno ulje, svu svoju oruœarnicu i sve æto se nalazilo u riznicama. Nije ostalo niæta u njegovom dvoru i u svemu podruçju njegova gospodstva æto im ne pokazao Ezekija. 3 I doæao prorok Izaija kralju Ezekiji i upitao ga: “Æto su htjeli ti ljudi i odakle su doæli k tebi.” Ezekija je odgovorio: “Iz daleke zemlje doæli su k meni, iz Babilona.” 4 Onaj je upitao dalje: “Æto su vidjeli u tvojem dvoru? Odakle su doæli” Ezekija je odgovorio: “Vidjeli su sve æto ima u mojem dvoru. Nije ostalo niæta u mojim riznicama æto im nisam pokazao.” 5 Onda je rekao Izaija Ezekiji: “Çuj rijeç Gospodina vojska: 6 Doøi øe vrijeme kad øe se odvuçi u Babilon sve æto se nalazi u tvojem dvoru, æto su skupili tvoji oçevi do danaænjega dana, niæta neøe preostati, govori Gospodin. 7 I od tvojih vlastitih sinova æto øe ti se joæ roditi, uzet øe neke da vræe sobarske sluœbe na dvoru babilonskoga kralja.” 8 Ezekija je odgovorio Izaiji: “Rijeç Gospodinova, koju si mi navijestio, prava je”; jer je mislio: “Dok œivim, vladat øe mir i sigurnost.” Veliçanstvo Gospodinovo

Tjeæite, tjeæite moj narod, tako govori vaæ Bog, 2 Govorite utjehu Jeruzalemu, javljajte mu da je protekla muka njegova, jer su oproætena njegova zlodjela, jer je primio iz ruke Gospodinove dvojaku kaznu za sve svoje grijehe. 3 Çuj, ori se glas u pustinji: “Pripravite put Gospodinu, poravnajte u pustoæi stazu naæem Bogu! 4 Svaka dolina neka se podigne, svaka gora i breœuljak neka se slegnu i æto je krivo neka bude ravno, bregovito zemljiæte neka bude dno doline! 5 Jer øe se pojaviti sjaj Gospodinov. Svako øe ga meso gledati, jer su to usta Gospodinova obeøala.” 6 Çuj, ori se glas: “Navjeæøuj!” on øe pitati: “Æto da navjeæøujem?” Svako je meso trava i sva je milota njegova kao cvijet poljski. 7 Trava se osuæi, cvijet uvene kad dah Gospodinov dune na njih. Jest, trava je narod. 8 Trava se osuæi, cvijet uvene, ali rijeç naæega Boga ostaje zauvijek. 9 Uzaåi na visoku goru, Sione, kao glasnik radosti i podigni moøno svoj glas kao glasnik radosti, Jeruzaleme! Podigni ga, ne boj se, objavi Judinim gradovima: “Evo, tu je vaæ Bog!” 10 Evo, Gospodin Bog dolazi kao pobjeditelj i miæica njegova daje mu pobjedu. Evo, plaøa

Listen, O coastlands, to me, and take heed, you peoples from afar! The LORD has called me from the womb; from the matrix of my mother he has made mention of My name. 2 And he has made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand he has hidden me, and made me a polished shaft; in his quiver he has hidden me. 3 And he said to me, “You are my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified.” 4 Then I said, “I have labored in vain, I have spent my strength for nothing and in vain; yet surely my just reward is with the LORD, and my work with my God.” 5 And now the LORD says, who formed me from the womb to be his Servant, to bring Jacob back to him, so that Israel is gathered to him (for I shall be glorious in the eyes of the LORD, and my God shall be my strength), 6 Indeed he says, “It is too small a thing that you should be my Servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved ones of Israel; I will also give you as a light to the Gentiles, that you should be my salvation to the ends of the earth.” 7 Thus says the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, their Holy One, to him whom man despises, to him whom the nation abhors, to the Servant of rulers: “Kings shall see and arise, princes also shall worship, because of the LORD who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel; and he has chosen you.” 8 Thus says the LORD: “In an acceptable time I have heard you, and in the day of salvation I have helped you; I will preserve you and give you as a covenant to the people, to restore the earth, to cause them to inherit the desolate heritages; 9 that you may say to the prisoners, ‘Go forth,’ to

Sluga Gospodinov svjetlo neznaboæcima

Posluæajte me, vi zemlje na moru! Pazite, vi narodi daljine: Gospodin me je pozvao od utrobe majçine, imenovao me je od utrobe majçine. 2 Uçinio je moja usta da su kao oætar maç, drœao me je u zaætiti svoje ruke, uçinio me je da sam kao glatka strijela, sakrio me u tobolcu svojem. 3 On mi je rekao: “Ti, Izraele, moj si sluga, u kojem øu se proslaviti!” 4 A ja sam rekao: “Uzalud sam se onda trudio, snagu sam svoju badava potroæio. Ipak u Gospodina stoji moje pravo, u mojega Boga plaøa moja.” 5 A sada govori Gospodin, koji me je od utrobe majçine naçinio svojim slugom, da mu privedem natrag Jakova, da skupim Izraela za njega. Proslavio sam se u oçima Gospodinovim i moj Bog bio je meni jakost. 6 On doista je rekao: “Premalo je da si mi sluga, da se podignu plemena Jakovljeva, da se vrate otkupljeni Izraelovi. I zato te çinim svjetlom neznaboœaca, da budeæ posrednik mojega spasenja do na kraj zemlje.” 7 Ovako govori Gospodin, otkupitelj Izraelov, njegov Svetac, prezrenomu, od ljudi odbaçenomu, slugi silnika: “Kraljevi øe vidjeti i dignuti se. Vladari øe pasti na koljena zbog Gospodina, koji je vjeran, zbog Sveca Izraelova, koji te je izabrao.” 8 Ovako govori Gospodin: “U vrijeme milosti usliæao sam te, pomogao sam ti u dan spasenja. Çuvao sam te, uçinio sam te posrednikom zavjeta za narod, da podigneæ zemlju, da razdijeliæ opustjelu baætinsku zemlju,

Listen to me, you who follow after right eousness, you who seek the LORD: look to the rock from which you were hewn, and to the hole of the pit from which you were dug. 2 Look to Abraham your father, and to Sarah who bore you; for I called him alone, and blessed him and increased him. 3 For the LORD will comfort Zion, he will comfort all her waste places; he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness will be found in it, thanksgiving and the voice of melody. 4 Listen to me, my people; and give ear to me, O my nation: for law will proceed from me, and I will make my justice rest as a light of the peoples. 5 My righteousness is near, my salvation has gone forth, and my arms will judge the peoples; the coastlands will wait upon me, and on my arm they will trust. 6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look on the earth beneath. For the heavens will vanish away like smoke, the earth will grow old like a garment, and those who dwell in it will die in like manner; but my salvation will be forever, and my righteousness will not be abolished. 7 Listen to me, you who know righteousness, you people in whose heart is my law: do not fear the reproach of men, nor be afraid of their revilings. 8 For the moth will eat them up like a garment, and the worm will eat them like wool; but my righteousness will be forever, and my salvation from generation to generation. 9 Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD! Awake as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. Are you not the arm that cut Rahab apart, and wounded the serpent?

Posluæajte me, koji teœite za spasenjem, koji traœite Gospodina! Pogledajte hridinu iz koje ste isjeçeni, i jamu duboku iz koje ste iskopani! 2 Pogledajte Abrahama, svojega oca, i Saru, koja vas je rodila! Sam je bio kad sam ga pozvao. Blagoslovio sam ga i umnoœio ga. 3 Jest, Gospodin øe se smilovati Sionu, utjeæit øe sve njegove ruæevine. Pustinju øe njegovu pretvoriti u zemlju raskoænu, pustinju njegovu u vrt Gospodinov. U njemu øe se nalaziti radost i veselje, hvalospjev i gromka pjesma. 4 Posluæaj me, moj narode, çujte me, moja braøo, jer pouka izlazi od mene. Svoj zakon postavljam kao svjetlo narodima. 5 Blizu je pobjeda moja, pred vratima stoji moje spasenje. Miæice moje upravljaju narodima, çekaju me zemlje na moru, uzdaju se u miæicu moju. 6 Podignite gore k nebu svoje oçi i pogledajte dolje na zemlju, jer øe nebo iæçeznuti kao dim, kao haljina zemlja øe se raspasti. Kao muæice umiru njezini stanovnici, a moja øe pomoø ostati zauvijek i spasenju mojemu nema nikada kraja. 7 Posluæajte me koji teœite za spasenjem, ti narode, u kojem prebiva moj zakon! Ne bojte se poruge ljudske, psovanja njihova se ne straæite! 8 Jer øe ih moljac izjesti kao haljinu, kao vunu crv øe ih izgristi, a spasenje øe moje ostati zauvijek, moje spasenje od naraætaja do naraætaja. 9 Digni se, digni se! Naoruœaj se jakoæøu, miæico Gospodinova! Digni se kao u dane davnine, za naraætaje æto su proæli! Nisi li ti sasjekla

Those who rule over them make them wail, says the LORD, And My name is blasphemed continually every day. 6 Therefore my people shall know My name; therefore they shall know in that day that I am he who speaks: ‘Behold, it is I.’ ” 7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who proclaims peace, who brings glad tidings of good things, who pro-

Onda ga Asirija pritisnu bez razloga. 5 A sada, govori Gospodin, æto moram ovdje joæ çiniti? Jer je moj narod zarobljen badava. Gospodari se njegovi hvale, govori Gospodin. Neprestano, svaki ças huli se na Ime moje. 6 Zato øe moj narod spoznati Ime moje. Zato øe spoznati u onaj dan da sam ja, koji govori: ‘Gle, to sam ja.’ ” 7 Kako su krasne na gorama noge onoga koji donosi Radosnu vijest, oglaæuje mir, koji donosi vijest dobra, oglaæuje spasenje, koji govori

On otkupljuje Jeruof Jerusalem! For the LORD has comforted his peo- zalem. 10 Gospodin je pokazao svetu miæicu svoju ple, he has redeemed Jerusalem. 10 The LORD has made bare his holy arm in the eyes pred oçima svih naroda. Svi krajevi zemlje of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall gledaju spasenje naæega Boga. 11 Odlazite, izaåite odatle, ne dotiçite se see the salvation of our God. 11 Depart! Depart! Go out from there, touch no un- niçega neçista! Izaåite iz podruçja njihova, clean thing; go out from the midst of her, be clean, oçistite se, koji nosite posuåe Gospodinovo! 12 Jer ne trebate iziøi u hitnji da se odatle ukloyou who bear the vessels of the LORD. 12 For you shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight; nite bjeœeøi, jer pred vama ide Gospodin, i vaæe for the LORD will go before you, and the God of Israel je zapleøe Bog Izraelov. 13 Gle, uspjet øe moj sluga, popet øe se, uzdigwill be your rear guard. 13 Behold, my Servant shall deal prudently, he shall nut øe se, bit øe silno uzviæen. 14 Kako su se mnogi pretraæiti nad tobom–jer be exalted and extolled and be very high. 14 Just as many were astonished at you, so his vis- je neljudski bio iznakaœen njegov izgled; njeage was marred more than any man, and his form gov lik nije viæe bio sliçan çovjeçjemu. 15 Tako øe on zaçuditi mnoge narode.

Who has believed our report? and to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed? 2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of dry ground. He has no form or comeliness; and when we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. 3 He is despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from him; he was despised, and we did not esteem him. 4 Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon him, and by his stripes we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned, every one, to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all. 7 He was oppressed and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; he was led as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so he opened not his mouth. 8 He was taken from prison and from judgment, and who will declare his generation? For he was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgressions of my people he was stricken. 9 And they made his grave with the wicked–but with the rich at his death, because he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth. 10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he has put him to grief. When you make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. 11 He shall see the travail of his soul, and be satisfied. by his knowledge my righteous Servant shall justify many, for he shall bear their iniquities. 12 Therefore I will divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, because he poured out his soul unto death, and he was numbered with the transgressors, and he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

Tko je povjerovao vijesti naæoj, komu se otkrila miæica Gospodinova? 2 Tako je izrastao pred njim kao mladica, kao korijen iz suhe zemlje. Nema obliçja na njemu, nema ljepote da bismo ga gledali i nema izgleda da bismo naæli ugodnosti na njemu. 3 Prezren je bio, posljednji od ljudi, çovjek bolova, priuçen patnjama, kao jedan od koga çovjek zaklanja svoje lice, tako je bio prezren i nismo ga cijenili. 4 A on je nosio patnje naæe, œalosti je naæe uzeo na se, mi smo ga drœali bijenim, pogoåenim od Boga i muçenim. 5 Ali je on bio ranjen za naæe grijehe, prebijen za naæa zlodjela. Za naæe spasenje leœala je kazna na njemu, modricama njegovim mi smo ozdravljeni. 6 Svi smo mi kao ovce lutali naokolo. Svaki je iæao svojim vlastitim putom. A Gospodin je stavio na njega grijehe i zlodjela svih nas. 7 Bio je zlostavljen, a on se predao dragovoljno, nije otvorio svojih usta kao janje koje se vodi na klanje. Kao ovca–nijema pred onima koji je striœu–nije otvorio svojih usta. 8 Iz tjeskobe i suda bio je uzet, i tko da iskaœe sudbinu njegovu. Bio je istrgnut iz zemlje œivih i za opaçine mojega naroda bio je na smrt pogoåen. 9 Odredili su mu grob uz zloçince, a uz bogatoga bio je iza smrti, jer nije poçinio nepravdu i nije se naæla prijevara u njegovim ustima. 10 Ali je Gospodinu bila volja da ga stavi na muke. Kad se sam œrtvuje kao œrtva za grijeh, vidjet øe potomke, dugo øe œivjeti i volja øe se Gospodinova ispuniti po njemu. 11 Od truda svoje duæe on øe vidjeti svjetlost. Svojim spoznanjem moj øe pravedni sluga mnoge opravdati, jer øe on uzeti na sebe njihova zlodjela. 12 Zato øu mu dati mnoge kao dio, mnogobrojne øe on prisvojiti zato jer je dao svoj œivot na smrt i bio ubrojen meåu zloçince, i nosio grijehe mnogih, i molio se za zloçince.

Thus says the LORD: Keep justice, and do righteousness, for my salvation is about to come, and my righteousness to be revealed. 2 Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who lays hold on it; who keeps from defiling the Sabbath, and keeps his hand from doing any evil.” 3 Do not let the son of the foreigner who has joined himself to the LORD speak, saying, “The LORD has utterly separated me from his people”; nor let the eunuch say, “Here I am, a dry tree.” 4 For thus says the LORD: “To the eunuchs who keep my Sabbaths, and choose what pleases me, and hold fast my covenant, 5 even to them I will give in my house and within my walls a place and a name better than that of sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting name that shall not be cut off. 6 Also the sons of the foreigner who join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants–everyone who keeps from defiling the Sabbath, and holds fast my covenant– 7 even them I will bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on my altar; for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations. 8 The LORD God, who gathers the outcasts of Israel, says, Yet I will gather to him others besides those who are gathered to him. 9 All you beasts of the field, come to devour, all you beasts in the forest. 10 His watchmen are blind, they are all ignorant; they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber. 11 Yes, they are greedy dogs which never have enough. And they are shepherds who cannot understand; they all look to their own way, every one for his own gain, from his own territory. 12 “Come,” one says, “I will bring wine, and we will fill ourselves with intoxicating drink; tomorrow will be as today, and much more abundant.”

Spasenje bogobojaznim neznaboæcima

Ovako govori Gospodin: Çuvajte pravicu i uspostavite pravednost, jer je moje spasenje blizu; da doåe i pravednost moja da se otkrije. 2 Blagoslovljen je çovjek koji tako çini i sin çovjeçji koji se drœi toga: koji drœi Subotnji dan i ne oskvrnjuje ga, çuva svoju ruku da ne uçini niæta zlo! 3 Neka ne govori doæljak koji pristane uz Gospodina: “Gospodin øe me odstraniti iz svojega naroda.” Neka ne govori uækopljenik: “Ah, ja sam samo suho drvo!” 4 Jer ovako govori Gospodin: Uækopljenicima koji drœe moje Subotnje dane i to biraju æto je meni ugodno i drœe se mojega zavjeta, 5 njima dajem u svojoj kuøi i meåu zidovima svojim mjesto i ime koje je bolje nego ono od sinova i køeri. Ime vjeçno dajem im, koje se nikada ne zatire. 6 A doæljake koji pristanu uz Gospodina da mu sluœe, da ljube Ime Gospodinovo i da budu njegove sluge, sve koji drœe Subotnji dan i ne oskvrne ga i drœe se mojega zavjeta. 7 Njih øu dovesti k svojoj svetoj gori i razveseliti ih u svojoj molitvenoj kuøi. Njihove œrtve njihove paljenice i njihove œrtve zaklanice ugodne su na mojem œrtveniku, jer øe se moja kuøa zvati kuøa molitve za sve narode. 8 Govori Gospodin Bog, koji skuplja prognanike Izraelove: Joæ viæe skupljam k onima koje sam veø skupio od njega. 9 Sve poljske œivotinje, doåite da jedete, sve æumske œivotinje! 10 Straœari su njegovi slijepi, svi oni niæta ne zapaœaju, svi su psi nijemi, ne mogu lajati, drijemaju, leœe i najdraœe im je spavati. 11 Psi su proœdrljivi, ne znaju za sitost.

Mir pravednika i u smrti; nemir bezboœnika

The righteous perishes, and no man takes it to heart; merciful men are taken away, while no one considers that the righteous is taken away from evil. 2 He shall enter into peace; they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness. 3 But come here, you sons of the sorceress, you offspring of the adulterer and the harlot! 4 Whom do you ridicule? against whom do you make a wide mouth and stick out the tongue? Are you not children of transgression, offspring of falsehood, 5 inflaming yourselves with gods under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks? 6 Among the smooth stones of the stream is your portion; they, they, are your lot! Even to them you have poured a drink offering, you have offered a grain offering. Should I receive comfort in these? 7 On a lofty and high mountain you have set your bed; even there you went up to offer sacrifice. 8 Also behind the doors and their posts you have set up your remembrance; for you have uncovered yourself to those other than me, and have gone up to them; you have enlarged your bed and made a covenant with them; you have loved their bed, where you saw their hand. 9 You went to the king with ointment, and increased your perfumes; you sent your messengers far off, and debased yourself even to Sheol. 10 You are wearied in the length of your way; yet you did not say, “There is no hope.” you have found the life of your hand; therefore you were not grieved. 11 And of whom have you been afraid, or feared, that you have lied and not remembered me, nor taken it to your heart? Is it not because I have held my peace from of old that you do not fear me? 12 I will declare your righteousness and your works, for they will not profit you. 13 When you cry out, let your collection of idols deliver you. But the wind will carry them all away, a breath will take them. But he who puts his trust in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain.” 14 And one shall say, “Heap it up! Heap it up! Prepare the way, take the stumbling block out of the way of my people.” 15 For thus says the High and Lofty One Who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, with him who has a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones. 16 For I will not contend forever, nor will I always be angry; for the spirit would fail before me, and the souls which I have made. 17 For the iniquity of his covetousness I was angry and struck him; I hid and was angry, and he went on backsliding in the way of his heart. 18 I have seen his ways, and will heal him; I will also lead him, and restore comforts to him and to his mourners. 19 I create the fruit of the lips: peace, peace to him who is far off and to him who is near, says the LORD, and I will heal him. 20 But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt. 21 There is no peace, says my God, “for the wicked.

Pravednik gine i nitko ne mari za to; poboœniku se ljudi uklanjaju i nitko ne shvaøa da se od zloøe uklanja pravednik. 2 On ulazi u mir, poçine na svojoj postelji svaki koji je hodio pravim putom. 3 A vi pristupite ovamo, sinovi vraçara, rod preljubnice i bludnice! 4 Komu se vi rugate, na koga razvaljujete usta i plazite jezik? Niste li djeca grijeha, leglo laœi? 5 Koji se raspaljujete za bogovima, pod svakim zelenim stablom, koji u dolinama koljete svoju djecu pod kamenim vrletima. 6 Tvoj je dio na glatku kamenu u dolini potoçnoj. Upravo to je najdraœe mjesto tvoje i njima si izlijevao naljev, prinosio dar. Zar øu se time zadovoljiti? 7 Na svakoj gori visokoj i uzviæenoj postavio si boraviæte svoje i ondje si se penjao da prineseæ œrtvu zaklanicu. 8 Iza vrata i dovrataka stavio si spomen svoj, meni nevjeran, otkrio si boraviæte svoje i uzaæao u njega, raæirio si ga, neæto si od njih sebi zadrœao, volio si opøenje s njima, zlo si vidio. 9 Iæao si k Moleku s uljem i uzimao si sobom mnoge mirise. Slao si daleko glasnike svoje i pregibao si se sve do podzemnoga svijeta. 10 Mnogim putovanjima svojim umorio si se, ali nisi rekao: “Bilo je uzalud.” Joæ si osjeøao œivot u svojim udovima, i zato nisi sustao. 11 Koga si se prestraæio i koga si se pobojao da si postao nevjeran, da nisi na mene mislio i za mene nisi mario? Zar ne, jer sam ja æutio i to od davna vremena, zato li me se nisi viæe bojao? 12 Ali ja øu objaviti kako je s tvojom pravednoæøu i s tvojim djelima koja ti neøe koristiti niæta. 13 Kad onda zavikneæ, neka te izbave tvoje hrpe idola! Ali øe ih sve odnijeti vjetar i jedan øe ih dah otpuhnuti, a tko se u me uzda, baætinit øe zemlju, zaposjednut øe moju svetu goru.” 14 Onda øe se reøi: “Napravite put! Napravite put! Poravnajte put! Uklonite svaku smetnju s puta mojega naroda!” 15 Jer ovako govori Visoki, Uzviæeni, koji vjeçno stoluje i zove se Svetac: U visini, u Svetom mjestu prebivam, ali i kod poniznoga i skruæenoga, da nanovo oœivim duh skruæenomu i nanovo okrijepim srce slomljenomu. 16 Jer se neøu zauvijek svaåati i neøu se stalno gnjeviti. Inaçe ginu preda mnom duh i duæe æto sam ih stvorio. 17 Zbog grijeæne lakomosti njegove gnjevio sam se na narod i udarao ga: sakrio bih se i srdio, a on se odmetnuo putom svojega srca. 18 Vidio sam njegove putove, ali øu ga ozdraviti i voditi i dat øu utjehu njegovima koji trpe. 19 Taj sam koji dajem obeøanje: mir, mir dalekima i blizima, govori Gospodin, ja øu ih ozdraviti. 20 A bezboœnici su kao more uzburkano, koje se ne moœe umiriti, i çija voda izbacuje mulj i blato. 21 Nema mira bezboœnicima, govori moj Bog.

Behold, the LORD’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; nor his ear heavy, that it cannot hear. 2 But your iniquities have separated you from your God; and your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear. 3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue has muttered perversity. 4 No one calls for justice, nor does any plead for truth. they trust in empty words and speak lies; they conceive evil and bring forth iniquity. 5 They hatch vipers’ eggs and weave the spider’s web; he who eats of their eggs dies, and from that which is crushed a viper breaks out.

Gle, nije prekratka ruka Gospodinova da pomogne, nije gluho njegovo uho da çuje. 2 Ne, vaæa zlodjela rastavljaju vas s Bogom vaæim, vaæi grijesi zaklonili su njegovo lice od vas da ne çuje. 3 Jer su vaæe ruke oneçiæøene krvlju, prsti vaæi krivnjom zlodjela, usne vaæe govore laœ, jezik vaæ govori krivo. 4 Nitko ne traœi pravedno sud, nitko se poæteno ne pravda.

Who is this who comes from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah, this One who is glorious in his apparel, traveling in the greatness of his strength?–“I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save.” 2 Why is your apparel red, and your garments like one who treads in the winepress? 3 “I have trodden the winepress alone, and from the peoples no one was with me. For I have trodden them in my anger, and trampled them in my fury; their blood is sprinkled upon my garments, and I have stained all my robes. 4 For the day of vengeance is in my heart, and the year of my redeemed has come. 5 I looked, but there was no one to help, and I wondered that there was no one to uphold; therefore my own arm brought salvation for me; and my own fury, it sustained me. 6 I have trodden down the peoples in my anger, made them drunk in my fury, and brought down their strength to the earth.” 7 I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the LORD and the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD has bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he has bestowed on them according to his mercies, according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses. 8 For he said, “Surely they are my people, children who will not lie.” So he became their Savior. 9 In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the Angel of his presence saved them; in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bore them and carried them all the days of old. 10 But they rebelled and grieved his Holy Spirit; so he turned himself against them as an enemy, and he fought against them. 11 Then he remembered the days of old, Moses and his people, saying: “Where is he who brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? Where is he who put his Holy Spirit within them, 12 Who led them by the right hand of Moses, with his glorious arm, dividing the water before them to make for himself an everlasting name, 13 Who led them through the deep, as a horse in the wilderness, that they might not stumble?” 14 As a beast goes down into the valley, And the Spirit of the LORD causes him to rest, so you lead your people, to make yourself a glorious name. 15 Look down from heaven, and see from your habitation, holy and glorious. Where are your zeal and your strength, the yearning of your heart and your mercies toward me? Are they restrained? 16 Doubtless you are our Father, though Abraham was ignorant of us, and Israel does not acknowledge us. You, O LORD, are our Father; our Redeemer from Everlasting is your name. 17 O LORD, why have you made us stray from your ways, and hardened our heart from your fear? Return for your servants’ sake, the tribes of your inheritance. 18 Your holy people have possessed it but a little

Boœje milosråe se spominje

Tko je ono æto dolazi iz Edoma, u crvenim haljinama iz Bosre? Sjajan je u svojoj odjeøi, ponosno koraça u silnoj snazi svojoj. “Ja sam koji govorim pravednost, koji imam moø spasiti.” 2 “Zaæto je crvena odjeøa tvoja, tvoje haljine kao u onoga koji gnjeçi groœåe u tijesku?” 3 “U tijesku sam groœåe gnjeçio. Od naroda nije nitko bio sa mnom, u gnjevu sam ih svojem zgnjeçio. Krv mi je njihova poprskala haljine i tako sam uprljao svu svoju odjeøu. 4 Jer je dan osvete bio u mojem srcu, i bila je doæla godina otkupljenja mojega. 5 Pogledao sam, a nije bilo pomoønika. Gledao sam zaçuåen naokolo, ali nije bilo nikoga da mi pomogne. Onda mi je pomogla miæica moja i jarost mi je moja pomogla. 6 Tako sam izgazio narode u svojem gnjevu, opojio sam ih u jarosti svojoj i prolio na zemlju krv njihovu.” 7 Slavit øu milost Gospodinovu, slaviti djela Gospodinova nakon svega æto nam je uçinio Gospodin, i veliku dobrotu prema kuøi Izraelovoj, koju je njoj iskazao po milosråu svojem i po svojoj velikoj milosti. 8 Jer je on rekao: “Doista su moj narod, sinovi koji neøe iznevjeriti nikada.” Tako im je postao Spasitelj. 9 U svakoj œalosti njihovoj osjeøao se i on tuœan, ali ih je spasio anåeo lica njegova. U svojoj ljubavi i milosti On ih je otkupio, podigao ih i nosio ih sve dane u davno doba. 10 Ali su oni bili nepokorni i œalostili sveti Duh njegov. Onda im je on postao neprijatelj, i On je sam ratovao s njima. 11 Onda se njegov narod spomenuo starih vremena, Mojsija i njegov narod, govoreøi: “Gdje je onaj koji je pastire stada svojega izveo iz vode Rijeke? Gdje je onaj koji mu je dao u srce Sveti Duh svoj? 12 Koji je silnom svojom miæicom iæao uz desnicu Mojsijevu? Koji je pred njima razdvojio vode da steçe sebi vjeçno ime? 13 Koji ih je vodio preko vodenih bezdana kao konja preko tratine, tako da se nisu spotaknuli?” 14 Kao kad stoka silazi u dolinu, tako ih je Duh Gospodinov vodio uvijek na poçivaliæta. Tako si vodio svoj narod da steçeæ sebi slavno ime. 15 Pogledaj dolje s neba! Vidi iz svojega svetog i sjajnog stana! Gdje je tvoja revnost i tvoja moø? Ganuøe tvojega srca i tvoje milosråe zar je prestalo prema meni! 16 Jer ti si naæ otac! Abraham ne zna za nas, i Izrael nas ne pozna. Ti si, o Gospodine, naæ otac, Otkupitelj naæ–oduvijek ime je tvoje. 17 Zaæto si nas pustio da zaåemo s putova tvojih, Gospodine, da otvrdne srce naæe tako da te se viæe ne boji. Daj zbog svojih sluga da se vrate plemena æto su baætina tvoja. 18 Tvoj sveti narod samo je na kratko pos-

Oh, that you would rend the heavens! That you would come down! That the mountains might shake at your presence– 2 as fire burns brushwood, as fire causes water to boil–to make your name known to your adversaries, that the nations may tremble at your presence! 3 When you did awesome things for which we did not look, you came down, the mountains shook at your presence. 4 For since the beginning of the world men have not heard nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen any God besides you, Who acts for the one who waits for him. 5 You meet him who rejoices and does righteousness, who remembers you in your ways. You are indeed angry, for we have sinned–in these ways we continue; and we need to be saved. 6 But we are all like an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags; we all fade as a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. 7 And there is no one who calls on your name, who stirs himself up to take hold of you; for you have hidden your face from us, and have consumed us because of our iniquities. 8 But now, O LORD, you are our Father; we are the clay, and you our potter; and all we are the work of your hand. 9 Do not be furious, O LORD, nor remember iniquity forever; indeed, please look–we all are your people! 10 Your holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation. 11 Our holy and beautiful temple, where our fathers praised you, is burned up with fire; and all our pleasant things are laid waste. 12 Will you restrain yourself because of these things, O LORD? Will you hold your peace, and afflict us very severely?

I was sought by those who did not ask for me; I was found by those who did not seek me. I said, “Here I am, here I am,” to a nation that was not called by My name. 2 I have stretched out my hands all day long to a rebellious people, who walk in a way that is not good, according to their own thoughts; 3 a people who provoke me to anger continually to my face; who sacrifice in gardens, and burn incense on altars of brick; 4 Who sit among the graves, and spend the night in the tombs; who eat swine’s flesh, and the broth of abominable things is in their vessels; 5 who say, “Keep to yourself, do not come near me, for I am holier than you!” These are smoke in my nostrils, a fire that burns all the day. 6 Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will repay–even repay into their bosom– 7 your iniquities and the iniquities of your fathers together, says the LORD, Who have burned incense on the mountains and blasphemed me on the hills; therefore I will measure their former work into their bosom.” 8 Thus says the LORD: “As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one says, ‘Do not destroy it, for a blessing is in it,’ so will I do for my servants’ sake, that

Nastavak molitve prorokove za spasenje

Ah, da razdereæ nebo i siåeæ dolje, da bi zadrhtale gore pred Tobom, 2 kao æto oganj upali granje, i oganj uçini da uzavrije voda–da se oglasi tvoje Ime protivnicima tvojim, da bi pred tobom zadrhtali narodi. 3 Dok çiniæ strahovita djela, koja nismo nikada oçekivali! O da siåeæ dolje da bi zadrhtale gore pred Tobom! 4 Od davnina nije se çulo niti se doznalo, nije oko vidjelo da je koji bog osim tebe tako çinio za one koji ga çekaju. 5 Ti se zauzimaæ za onoga koji s radoæøu çini pravdu, za one koji se spominju tebe na tvojim putovima, ali ah, ti si se gnjevio jer smo grijeæili, a i dalje çinimo tako, a trebamo biti spaæeni. 6 Tako smo mi svekoliki postali kao çovjek neçist, i sva naæa pravda kao uprljana haljina, mi svi venemo kao liæøe. Naæa zlodjela odnijela su nas kao vjetar. 7 Nitko nije zazivao tvoje Ime i nitko nije ustao da se drœi tebe, jer si bio sakrio svoje lice od nas i pustio si nas da dræøemo pod pritiskom svojih zlodjela. 8 Ali sada, Gospodine–ti si naæ otac, a mi smo glina, ti si Tvorac naæ, i mi smo svi djelo tvojih ruku. 9 Ne gnjevi se veoma, Gospodine, i ne spominji se zauvijek krivnje zlodjela! Eto, pogledaj, ipak smo mi svi tvoj narod. 10 Sveti gradovi tvoji postali su pustinja, Sion je postao pustinja, Jeruzalem pustoæ. 11 Sveti, sjajni gradovi naæi, gdje su te slavili naæi oçevi, izgorjeli su ognjem i sve su dragocjenosti naæe uniætene. 12 Moœeæ li se pritom joæ uzdrœati, Gospodine, zar øeæ æutjeti i najdublje nas poniziti? Odgovor Boœji na molitvu prorokovu

Potraœili su me koji nisu pitali za me. Naæli su me koji me nisu traœili. Rekao sam narodu koji se joæ nije bio zvao mojim imenom: “Evo me, evo me!” 2 Cijelo sam vrijeme æirio svoje ruke za narodom nepokornim, koji je iæao za svojim mislima putom koji nije bio dobar. 3 Za narodom koji me je neprestano draœio bez straha, dok je œrtvovao u vrtovima i kadio na œrtvenicima od opeka. 4 Oni sjede u grobovima, noøuju na skrovitim mjestima. Jedu meso svinjeøe, u posudama je njihovim juha gadna. 5 Govore: “Stoj! Ne dolazi mi blizu, jer sam svet za te.” Takvi su ljudi dim u nosu mojem, oganj æto gori uvijek. 6 Eto, napisano je preda mnom: Neøu mirovati dok to ne platim—dok im ne platim u njedra– 7 za vaæa zlodjela i za sva zlodjela vaæih otaca, govori Gospodin, koji su œrtvovali na gorama i na breœuljcima grdili me. Platit øu im u njedra plaøu za djela æto su ih uçinili od poçetka. 8 Ovako govori Gospodin: “Kao æto se govori o grozdu kad se u njemu naåe soka: ‘Ne kvari ga, jer je blagoslov u njemu!’ Tako øu uçiniti zbog svojih sluga da ne uniætim sve.

THE BOOK OF THE PROPHET JEREMIAH

KNJIGA PROROKA JEREMIJE Jeremija pozvan za proroka

The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, 2 to whom the word of the LORD came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign. 3 It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth month. 4 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying: 5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; before you were born I sanctified you; and I ordained you a prophet to the nations.” 6 Then said I: “Ah, LORD God! Behold, I cannot speak, for I am a youth.” 7 But the LORD said to me: “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ for you shall go to all to whom I send you, and whatever I command you, you shall speak. 8 Do not be afraid of their faces, for I am with you to deliver you, says the LORD.” 9 Then the LORD put forth his hand and touched my mouth, and the LORD said to me: “Behold, I have put my words in your mouth. 10 See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out and to pull down, to destroy and to throw down, to build and to plant.” 11 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, “Jeremiah, what do you see?” And I said, “I see a branch of an almond tree.” 12 Then the LORD said to me, “You have seen well, for I am ready to perform my word.” 13 And the word of the LORD came to me the second time, saying, “What do you see?” And I said, “I see a boiling pot, and it is facing away from the north.” 14 Then the LORD said to me: Out of the north calamity shall break forth on all the inhabitants of the land. 15 For behold, I am calling all the families of the kingdoms of the north, says the LORD; they shall come and each one set his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, against all its walls all around, and against all the cities of Judah. 16 I will utter my judgments against them concerning all their wickedness, because they have forsaken me, burned incense to other gods, and worshiped the works of their own hands. 17 Therefore prepare yourself and arise, and speak to them all that I command you. Do not be dismayed before their faces, lest I dismay you before them. 18 For behold, I have made you this day a fortified city and an iron pillar, and bronze walls against the whole land–against the kings of Judah, against its princes, against its priests, and against the people of the land. 19 They will fight against you, but they shall not prevail against you. For I am with you, says the LORD, to deliver you.

Ovo su rijeçi Jeremije, sina Hilkijina, iz roda sveøeniçkoga æto je stajao u Anatotu u zemlji Benjaminovoj. 2 Njemu je doæla rijeç Gospodinova u dane Judina kralja Josije, sina Amonova, u trinaestoj godini vladanja njegova. 3 l doæla mu ona u dane Judina kralja Jojakima, sina Josijina, do svræetka jedanaeste godine Judina kralja Zedekije, sina Josijina do odvoåenja stanovnika Jeruzalema petoga mjeseca. 4 Dogodilo se doæla mi je rijeç Gospodinova, govoreøi: 5 “Prije nego sam te stvorio u utrobi majçinoj, izabrao sam te. Prije nego æto si izaæao iz utrobe majçine, posvetio sam te, postavio sam te za proroka narodima.” 6 A ja sam rekao: “Ah, moøni Gospodine, evo, ja ne mogu govoriti, ja sam joæ tako mlad!” 7 Ali mi je rekao Gospodin: “Ne govori: ‘Ja sam joæ tako mlad!’ Idi samo kamo te æaljem i navjeæøuj æto ti zapovjedim! 8 Ne boj se njih, jer sam ja s tobom da te izbavim, govori Gospodin.” 9 I Gospodin pruœio svoju ruku i dotaknuo se mojih usana, i rekao mi Gospodin: “Evo stavljam svoje rijeçi u tvoja usta. 10 Vidi, dajem ti danas vlast nad narodima i kraljevstvima da trgaæ i razdireæ, da iskorijenjujeæ i ruæiæ, da gradiæ i sadiæ!” 11 Nato mi je doæla rijeç Gospodinova, govoreøi: “Æto vidiæ, Jeremija?” Ja sam odgovorio: “Vidim granu bademovu.” 12 Onda mi je rekao Gospodin: “Dobro vidiæ, jer bdijem nad svojom rijeçi da ju izvræim.” 13 I opet mi je doæla rijeç Gospodinova, govoreøi: “Æto vidiæ” Ja sam odgovorio: “Vidim lonac æto vrije i njegov otvor naginje se ovamo sa sjevera.” 14 Onda mi je rekao Gospodin: Sa sjevera navire zlo na sve stanovnike ove zemlje. 15 Jer, eto, ja sazivljem sva plemena sjevernih kraljevstva, govori Gospodin. Ona dolaze i tabore se svekolika pred vratima Jeruzalema, pred svim njegovim zidovima unaokolo, pred svim Judinim gradovima. 16 Onda øu im izreøi presude svoje za svu zloøu njihovu æto su ostavili mene i œrtvovali drugim bogovima, i klanjali se djelima svojih ruku. 17 Zato si ti opaæi bedra! Ustani i navjeæøuj im sve æto ti zapovjedim, ne boj ih se, inaçe øu ja s njima prestraæiti tebe. 18 Ali gle, ja te danas çinim gradom tvrdim, stupom œeljeznim, zidom mjedenim protiv ove svoje zemlje, protiv Judinih kraljeva, protiv velikaæa njegovih, protiv njegovih sveøenika i pro-

-816Jeremija tiv naroda ove zemlje. 19 Oni øe udariti na tebe ali te neøe nadvladati, jer ja stojim uza te, da te izbavim, govori Gospodin.

Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 2 Go and cry in the hearing of Jerusalem, saying, Thus says the LORD: I remember you, the kindness of your youth, the love of your betrothal, when you went after me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown. 3 Israel was holiness to the LORD, the firstfruits of his increase. All that devour him will offend; disaster will come upon them, says the LORD. 4 Hear the word of the LORD, O house of Jacob and all the families of the house of Israel. 5 Thus says the LORD: What injustice have your fathers found in me, that they have gone far from me, have followed idols, and have become idolaters? 6 Neither did they say, “Where is the LORD, Who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, Who led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and pits, through a land of drought and the shadow of death, through a land that no one crossed and where no one dwelt?” 7 I brought you into a bountiful country, to eat its fruit and its goodness. But when you entered, you defiled my land and made my heritage an abomination. 8 The priests did not say, “Where is the LORD?” And those who handle the law did not know me; the rulers also transgressed against me; the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit. 9 Therefore I will yet bring charges against you, says the LORD, And against your children’s children I will bring charges. 10 For pass beyond the coasts of Cyprus and see, send to Kedar and consider diligently, and see if there has been such a thing. 11 Has a nation changed its gods, which are not gods? But my people have changed their Glory for what does not profit. 12 Be astonished, O heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid; be very desolate, says the LORD. 13 For my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the fountain of living waters, and hewn themselves cisterns–broken cisterns that can hold no water. 14 Is Israel a servant? is he a homeborn slave? Why is he plundered? 15 The young lions roared at him, and growled; they made his land waste; his cities are burned, without inhabitant. 16 Also the people of Noph and Tahpanhes have broken the crown of your head. 17 Have you not brought this on yourself, in that you have forsaken the LORD your God when he led you in the way? 18 And now why take the road to Egypt, to drink the waters of Sihor? Or why take the road to Assyria, to drink the waters of the River? 19 Your own wickedness will correct you, and your backslidings will reprove you. Know therefore and see that it is an evil and bitter thing that you have forsaken the LORD your God, and the fear of me is not in you, says the LORD God of hosts. 20 For of old I have broken your yoke and burst your bonds; and you said, “I will not transgress,” when on every high hill and under every green tree you lay down, playing the harlot.

Nezahvalnost i nevjernost Izraelova

Nadalje doæla mi je rijeç Gospodinova, govoreøi: 2 Idi, viçi Jeruzalemu glasno u uho: Ovako govori Gospodin: Naplatio sam ti mladu ljubav tvoju, zaruçniçku milinu tvoju, kad si u pustinji iæao za mnom, u zemlji gdje se ne sije. 3 Izrael je vrijedio Gospodinu kao sveto dobro, kao prvina od plodova njegovih. Tko bi jeo od toga, taj je to morao okajati; zlo je doælo na njega, govori Gospodin. 4 Çujte rijeç Gospodinovu, kuøo Jakovljeva i svi rodovi Izraelove kuøe! 5 Ovako govori Gospodin: Æto su nepravedno naæli na meni vaæi oçevi te su odstupili od mene i pristali su za idolima niætavim i sami su postali niætavi. 6 Nisu pitali: “Gdje je Gospodin koji nas je izveo iz zemlje Egipta, koji nas je vodio po pustinji, po pustarama i gudurama, po zemlji suhoj i mraçnoj, po zemlji kojom ne prohodi putnik i u kojoj ne prebiva nitko?” 7 Doveo sam vas u zemlju plodnu da uœivate njezina dobra i njezine plodove. A vi ste doæli i oskvrnuli ste moju zemlju i moju baætinu uçinili ste gadnim mjestom. 8 Sveøenici nisu pitali: “Gdje je Gospodin?” Çuvari zakona nisu me upoznali. Pastiri su mi postali nevjerni. Proroci su bili proroci Baalovi, trçali su za idolima nemoønim. 9 Zato vas optuœujem, govori Gospodin—i djecu vaæe djece optuœujem. 10 Jest, prijeåite na otoke kitimske i vidite! Poæaljite ondje u Kedar, raspitajte se dobro i istraœite je li ikad bilo takvo æto. 11 Je li koji narod promijenio svoje bogove ako i nisu bogovi. A moj je narod predao svojega slavnoga Boga za nemoøne idole. 12 Zaçudite se tomu nebesa i zgrozite se i zaprepastite, govori Gospodin. 13 Jest, dvostruki je grijeh poçinio moj narod: ostavili su mene, izvor œive vode da kopaju sebi nakapnice, raspucane nakapnice æto ne drœe vode. 14 Je li Izrael sluga, u kuøi roåen rob? Zaæto je postao plijenom? 15 Nad njim riçu lavovi rikom glasnom. Uçinit øu pustinjom njegovu zemlju. Popaljeni su njegovi gradovi i nema u njima stanovnika. 16 Çak i oni iz Memfisa i Tafnesa popasli su ti tjeme. 17 Nije li tomu tvoja krivnja da si ostavio Gospodina, tvojega Boga, u vrijeme kad te je vodio pravim putom? 18 A æto trçiæ sad u Egipat da pijeæ vodu iz Rijeke? Æto trçiæ ondje prijeko u Asiriju da pijeæ vodu iz Eufrata? 19 Zloøa te tvoja vlastita kara, tvoje te otpadniætvo kaœnjava. Upamti i vidi kako je zlo i gorko æto ostavljaæ Gospodina, svojega Boga, i ne bojiæ se mene, govori Gospodin Bog vojska. 20 Odavno si slomio jaram svoj i istrgao uœad svoju i rekao si: “Neøu viæe grijeæiti!” A na svakom visokom breœuljku, pod svakim zelenim stablom predao si se idolskim ljubavnicima. 21 Bio sam te posadio kao lozu plemenitu, kao posve pravu sadnicu, ali kako si mi se izrodio u

They say, If a man divorces his wife, and she goes from him and becomes another man’s, may he return to her again? Would not that land be greatly polluted? But you have played the harlot with many lovers; yet return to me, says the LORD. 2 Lift up your eyes to the desolate heights and see: where have you not lain with men? By the road you have sat for them like an Arabian in the wilderness; and you have polluted the land with your harlotries and your wickedness. 3 Therefore the showers have been withheld, and there has been no latter rain. You have had a harlot’s forehead; you refuse to be ashamed. 4 Will you not from this time cry to me, “My father, you

Run to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem; see now and know; and seek in her open places if you can find a man, if there is anyone who executes judgment, who seeks the truth, and I will pardon her. 2 Though they say, “As the LORD lives,” surely they swear falsely. 3 O LORD, are not your eyes on the truth? You have stricken them, but they have not grieved; you have consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction. They have made their faces harder than rock; they have refused to return. 4 Therefore I said, “Surely these are poor. They are foolish; for they do not know the way of the LORD, the judgment of their God. 5 I will go to the great men and speak to them, for they have known the way of the LORD, the judgment of their God.” But these have altogether broken the yoke and burst the bonds. 6 Therefore a lion from the forest shall slay them, a wolf of the deserts shall destroy them; a leopard will watch over their cities. Everyone who goes out from there shall be torn in pieces, because their transgressions are many; their backslidings have increased. 7 How shall I pardon you for this? Your children have forsaken me and sworn by those that are not gods. When I had fed them to the full, then they committed adultery and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots’ houses. 8 They were like well-fed lusty stallions; every one neighed after his neighbor’s wife. 9 Shall I not punish them for these things? says the

Nepovjerljivost Judina uzrok je sudu

-822-

O you children of Benjamin, gather yourselves to flee from the midst of Jerusalem! Blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and set up a signal-fire in Beth Haccherem; for disaster appears out of the north, and great destruction. 2 I have likened the daughter of Zion to a lovely and delicate woman. 3 The shepherds with their flocks shall come to her. They shall pitch their tents against her all around. Each one shall pasture in his own place. 4 “Prepare war against her; arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe to us, for the day goes away, for the shadows of the evening are lengthening. 5 Arise, and let us go by night, and let us destroy her palaces.” 6 For thus has the LORD of hosts said: Hew down trees, and build a mound against Jerusalem. This is the city to be punished. She is full of oppression in her midst. 7 As a fountain wells up with water, so she wells up with her wickedness. Violence and plundering are heard in her. Before me continually are grief and wounds. 8 Be instructed, O Jerusalem, lest my soul depart from you; lest I make you desolate, a land not inhabited. 9 Thus says the LORD of hosts: They shall thoroughly glean as a vine the remnant of Israel; as a grapegatherer, put your hand back into the branches. 10 To whom shall I speak and give warning, that they may hear? Indeed their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot give heed. Behold, the word of the LORD is a reproach to them; they have no delight in it. 11 Therefore I am full of the fury of the LORD. I am weary of holding it in. I will pour it out on the children outside, and on the assembly of young men together; for even the husband shall be taken with the wife, the aged with him who is full of days. 12 And their houses shall be turned over to others, fields and wives together; for I will stretch out my hand against the inhabitants of the land, says the LORD. 13 Because from the least of them even to the greatest of them, everyone is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even to the priest, everyone deals falsely. 14 They have also healed the hurt of my people slightly, saying, “Peace, peace!” When there is no peace. 15 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? No! They were not at all ashamed; nor did they know how to blush. Therefore they shall fall among those who fall; at the time I punish them, they shall be cast down, says the LORD. 16 Thus says the LORD: Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; then you will find rest for your souls. But they said, “We will not walk in it.” 17 Also, I set watchmen over you, saying, “Listen to the sound of the trumpet!” But they said, “We will not listen.” 18 Therefore hear, you nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them. 19 Hear, O earth! Behold, I will certainly bring calamity on this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not heeded my words, nor my law, but rejected it. 20 For what purpose to me comes frankincense from Sheba, and sweet cane from a far country? Your burnt offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices sweet to me.” 21 Therefore thus says the LORD: “Behold, I will lay

Bjeœite, sinovi Benjaminovi, iz Jeruzalema! U Tekoi zatrubite u trubu! Zamahnite zastavom prema Bet-Hakeremu, jer od sjevera prijeti nesreøa i veliko uniætenje. 2 Køer Siona se moœe usporediti sa razmaœenom i njeœnom djevojkom. 3 K njoj øe doøi pastiri sa stadima svojim, razapinjat øe oko nje svoje æatore; svaki øe pasti na podruçju svojem. 4 “Pripremite se za boj protiv nje! Ustanite, iziøi øemo u podne! Teæko nama, jer veø se prolazi dan veø se proteœe sjena veçernja. 5 Ustanite, izaåimo po noøi, razorimo njezine dvore!” 6 Jer ovako govori Gospodin vojska: Sijecite njezina stabla, napravite opkop protiv Jeruzalema. To je grad koji øe se kazniti; posvuda u njemu vlada nasilje. 7 Kao æto izvor drœi svjeœu svoju vodu, tako on drœi svjeœom zloøu svoju, nepravda i nasilje, çuju se u njemu, jad i zlostavljanje neprestano su mi pred oçima. 8 Popravi se, Jeruzaleme, da se ne odvratim od tebe, inaçe te obraøam u pustinju, u zemlju bez stanovnika. 9 Ovako govori Gospodin vojska: Temeljito pabirçenje drœat øe se na ostatku Izraelovu kao na çokotu, ispruœit øe ruku kao vinogradar za lozama. 10 Komu øu govoriti i koga opominjati da me çuje, jer, doista, uho je njihovo neobrezano, te ne moœe çuti! Gle, rijeç je Gospodinova njima ruglo, nije im mila. 11 Prepun sam gnjeva Gospodinova, iznemogao sam susteœuøi ga. Moram ga izliti na dijete na ulici, na svu grupu mladiøa; jest, muœevi i œene hvataju se, starac s vremeænim. 12 Kuøe njihove pripadaju strancima, s njivama i œenama, kad ispruœim ruku protiv stanovnika ove zemlje, govori Gospodin. 13 Jer od najmanjega do najveøega sve misli samo na vlastitu korist; svi od proroka do sveøenika varaju. 14 I ranu mojega naroda lijeçe, govoreøi mu ovako: “Mir, mir!” Ali mira nema. 15 Morali bi se stidjeti æto su poçinili gnusobu, ali se ne stide, ne znaju se viæe crvenjeti.

The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, 2 Stand in the gate of the LORD’s house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of the LORD, all you of Judah who enter in at these gates to worship the LORD! 3 Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place. 4 Do not trust in these lying words, saying, “The temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD are these.” 5 For if you thoroughly amend your ways and your doings, if you thoroughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbor, 6 if you do not oppress the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place, or walk after other gods to your hurt, 7 then I will cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers forever and ever. 8 Behold, you trust in lying words that cannot profit. 9 Will you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely, burn incense to Baal, and walk after other gods whom you do not know, 10 and then come and stand before me in this house which is called by My name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations? 11 Has this house, which is called by My name, become a den of thieves in your eyes? Behold, I, even I, have seen it, says the LORD. 12 But go now to my place which was in Shiloh, where I set My name at the first, and see what I did to it because of the wickedness of my people Israel. 13 And now, because you have done all these works, says the LORD, and I spoke to you, rising up early and speaking, but you did not hear, and I called you, but you did not answer, 14 therefore I will do to this house which is called by My name, in which you trust, and to this place which I gave to you and your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh. 15 And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast

Oh, that my head were waters, and my eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people! 2 Oh, that I had in the wilderness a lodging place for wayfaring men; that I might leave my people, and go from them! For they are all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men. 3 And like their bow they have bent their tongues for lies. They are not valiant for the truth on the earth. For they proceed from evil to evil, and they do not know me, says the LORD. 4 Everyone take heed to his neighbor, and do not trust any brother; for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbor will walk with slanderers. 5 Everyone will deceive his neighbor, and will not speak the truth; they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity. 6 Your habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, says the LORD. 7 Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts: “Behold, I will refine them and try them; for how shall I deal with the daughter of my people? 8 Their tongue is an arrow shot out; it speaks deceit; one speaks peaceably to his neighbor with his mouth, but in his heart he lies in wait. 9 Shall I not punish them for these things? says the LORD. Shall I not avenge myself on such a nation as this? 10 I will take up a weeping and wailing for the mountains, and for the habitations of the wilderness a lamentation, because they are burned up, so that no one can pass through them; nor can men hear the voice of the cattle. Both the birds of the heavens and the beasts have fled; they are gone. 11 I will make Jerusalem a heap of ruins and a den of jackals. I will make the cities of Judah desolate, without an inhabitant. 12 Who is the wise man who may understand this? And who is he to whom the mouth of the LORD has spoken, that he may declare it? Why does the land perish and burn up like a wilderness, so that no one can pass through? 13 And the LORD said, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, nor walked according to it, 14 but they have walked according to the imagination of their own heart and after the Baals, which their fathers taught them. 15 Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will feed them, this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink. 16 I will scatter them also among the Gentiles, whom neither they nor their fathers have known. And I will send a sword after them until I have consumed them. 17 Thus says the LORD of hosts: Consider and call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for skillful wailing women, that they may come. 18 Let them make haste and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may run with tears, and our eyelids gush with water. 19 For a voice of wailing is heard from Zion: “How we are plundered! We are greatly ashamed, because we have forsaken the land, because we have been cast

For all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in the heart.”

Hear the word which the LORD speaks to you, O house of Israel. 2 Thus says the LORD: “Do not learn the way of the Gentiles; do not be dismayed at the signs of heaven, for the Gentiles are dismayed at them. 3 For the customs of the peoples are futile; for one cuts a tree from the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the ax. 4 They decorate it with silver and gold; they fasten it with nails and hammers so that it will not topple. 5 They are upright, like a palm tree, and they cannot speak; they must be carried, because they cannot go by themselves. Do not be afraid of them, for they cannot do evil, nor can they do any good.” 6 Inasmuch as there is none like you, O LORD (you are great, and your name is great in might), 7 who would not fear you, O King of the nations? For this is your rightful due, for among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like you. 8 But they are altogether stupid and foolish; a wooden idol a doctrine of vanities. 9 Silver is beaten into plates; it is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the craftsman and of the hands of the metalsmith; blue and purple are their clothing; they are all the work of skillful men. 10 But the LORD is the true God; he is the living God and the everlasting King. At his wrath the earth will tremble, and the nations will not be able to abide his indignation. 11 Thus you shall say to them: The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth shall perish from the earth and from under these heavens. 12 He has made the earth by his power, he has established the world by his wisdom, And has stretched out the heavens at his discretion. 13 When he utters his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens: And he causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth. He makes lightning for the rain, he brings the wind out of his treasuries. 14 Everyone is foolish in his knowledge; every

Ludost idolopoklonstva

Çujte rijeç koju vam govori Gospodin, kuøo Izraelova! Ovako govori Gospo-

din: 2 Ne priuçavajte se na obiçaje neznaboœaca i ne bojte se znamenja nebeskih, jer ih se samo neznaboæci boje. 3 Jer su obiçaji naroda sama tlapnja. Kip je idolski samo iz drva æto se sijeçe u æumi sjekirom, djelo ruke umjetniçke. 4 On ga ukrasio srebrom i zlatom, çavlima i çekiøima utvrdio ga da se ne prevrne. 5 Idoli su kao straæilo u polju, ne mogu govoriti, treba ih nositi jer ne mogu iøi. Ne bojte ih se, ne mogu ækoditi, a nije u njihovoj moøi ni dobro çiniti. 6 Nema tebi ravna Gospodine, velik si, i silno je tvoje Ime zbog moøi tvoje. 7 Tko da se ne boji tebe, kralju naroda! Jest, tebi to pripada, jer meåu svim mudracima naroda u svim kraljevstvima njihovim, nema tebi ravna. 8 Svi su oni ludi i bezumni i sav nauk o drvenim idolima obiçno je drvo. 9 Srebro kovano æto se donosi iz Taræiæa, zlato iz Ofira, djelo umjetnika i ruku zlatara, modri i crveni grimiz odjeøa je njihova. Sve je djelo umjetnika. 10 A Gospodin je pravi Bog, œivi Bog i vjeçni kralj. Od njegove srdœbe zadræøe zemlja, narodi ne podnose gnjeva njegova. 11 Ovako øete o njima reøi: bogovi, koji nisu stvorili nebo i zemlju, iæçeznut øe sa zemlje i pod nebom. 12 On je stvorio zemlju svojom snagom, On je utemeljio svijet mudroæøu svojom, On je razastro nebo razumom svojim. 13 Kad zaori njegov glas, zaæuæte vode na nebu. On vodi oblake s krajeva zemlje, baca munje s kiæom, izvodi vihor iz odaja njegovih. 14 Luåak je svaki koji to ne shvaøa. Stidjeti se mora svaki umjetnik rezbarena kipa svojega, jer je liveni kip njegov varka i nema duha u njemu.

The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, 2 Hear the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem; 3 and say to them, Thus says the LORD God of Israel: Cursed is the man who does not obey the words of this covenant 4 which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, ‘Obey my voice, and do according to all that I command you; so shall you be my people, and I will be your God, 5 that I may establish the oath which I have sworn to your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this day. Then I answered and said, “So be it, LORD.” 6 Then the LORD said to me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying: ‘Hear the words of this covenant and do them. 7 For I earnestly exhorted your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, until this day, rising early and exhorting, saying, Obey my voice. 8 Yet they did not obey or incline their ear, but everyone walked in the imagination of his evil heart; therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do, but which they have not done. 9 And the LORD said to me, A conspiracy has been found among the men of Judah and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 10 They have turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers who refused to hear my words, and they have gone after other gods to serve them; the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers. 11 Therefore thus says the LORD: Behold, I will surely

Kræenje zavjeta i njegove posljedice

Rijeç Gospodinova doæla je Jeremiji, govoreøi: 2 Sluæajte rijeçi ovoga zavjeta i objavite ih ljudima Judinim i stanovnicima jeruzalemskim! 3 Kaœi im: Ovako govori Gospodin, Bog Izraelov: Proklet neka je svaki koji ne slijedi zapovijedi ovoga zavjeta, 4 æto sam ih dao vaæim oçevima kad sam ih vodio iz Egipta, talionice uœarene, govoreøi: Sluæajte moj glas i radite po njemu svemu æto vam zapovjedam! Onda øete biti moj narod i ja øu biti vaæ Bog, 5 da mogu ispuniti zakletvu koju sam dao vaæim oçevima–da øu im dati zemlju u kojoj teçe mlijeko i med, kako je to joæ danas. Onda sam ja odgovorio: “Tako neka bude, Gospodine!” 6 Dalje mi je rekao Gospodin: Objavi sve ove rijeçi po Judinim gradovima i po jeruzalemskim ulicama: Sluæajte naputke ovoga zavjeta i radite po njima! 7 Jer sam prijetio vaæim oçevima, joæ kad sam ih vodio iz Egipta, do danaænjega dana, neprestano opominjem, govoreøi: Posluæajte moj glas! 8 Ali nisu posluæali i nisu mi prignuli svojega uha, nego je svaki iæao za svojim prkosnim i zlim srcem. Zato sam pustio da doåu na njih sve prijetnje ovoga zavjeta, koji sam im bio zapovjedio da drœe, ali ga nisu drœali. 9 Dalje mi je rekao Gospodin: Urota je meåu ljudima Judinim i stanovnicima jeruzalemskim. 10 Oni su upali u grijehe svojih predaka, koji nisu htjeli sluæati mojih zapovijedi. Trçali su za drugim bogovima da im sluœe. Prekræila je kuøa Izraelova i kuøa Judina moj zavjet koji sam uçinio s njihovim oçevima.

Righteous are you, O LORD, when I plead with you; yet let me talk with you about your judgments. Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why are those happy who deal so treacherously? 2 You have planted them, yes, they have taken root; they grow, yes, they bear fruit. You are near in their mouth but far from their mind. 3 But you, O LORD, know me; you have seen me, and you have tested my heart toward you. Pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter. 4 How long will the land mourn, and the herbs of every field wither? the beasts and birds are consumed, For the wickedness of those who dwell there, because they said, “He will not see our final end.” 5 If you have run with the footmen, and they have wearied you, then how can you contend with horses? And if in the land of peace, in which you trusted, they wearied you, then how will you do in the flooding of the Jordan? 6 For even your brothers, the house of your father, even they have dealt treacherously with you; yes, they have called a multitude after you. Do not believe them, even though they speak smooth words to you.

Prorok se tuœi na bezboœnike

Pravedan si ti, o Gospodine, ako bih se ja htio pravdati s Tobom, ali ipak bih te joæ htio pitati za tvoje pravedne presude. Zaæto je put bezboœnika uspjeæan? Zaæto œive u miru svi koji çine nevjeru. 2 Ti ih zasadiæ i oni uhvate korijen, uzrastu i donose plod. Ti si im blizu usta, ali daleko od njihova srca. 3 Ali, o Gospodine, ti mene poznajeæ i prozireæ; istraœio si kako stoji moje srce prema tebi. Odijeli ih kao ovce na klanje! Odredi ih za dan kad øe se zaklati! 4 Dokle øe joæ tuœiti zemlja i sahnuti trava na svem polju?

Thus the LORD said to me: “Go and get yourself a linen sash, and put it around your waist, but do not put it in water.” 2 So I got a sash according to the word of the LORD, and put it around my waist. 3 And the word of the LORD came to me the second time, saying, 4 “Take the sash that you acquired, which is around your waist, and arise, go to the Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole in the rock.” 5 So I went and hid it by the Euphrates, as the LORD commanded me. 6 And it happened after many days that the LORD said to me, “Arise, go to the Euphrates, and take from there the sash which I commanded you to hide there.” 7 Then I went to the Euphrates and dug, and I took the sash from the place where I had hidden it; and there was the sash, ruined. It was profitable for nothing. 8 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 9 Thus says the LORD: In this manner I will ruin the pride of Judah and the great pride of Jerusalem. 10 This evil people, who refuse to hear my words, who walk in the imagination of their heart, and walk after other gods to serve them and worship them, shall be just like this sash which is profitable for nothing. 11 For as the sash clings to the waist of a man, so I have caused the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah to cling to me, says the LORD, that they may become my people, for renown, for praise, and for glory; but they would not hear.

Posljedice nevjernosti

Ovako mi je rekao Gospodin: “Idi, kupi sebi laneni pojas i stavio ga sebi oko bedara, ali ga ne stavljaj u vodu!” 2 Kupio sam pojas po zapovijedi Gospodinovoj i stavio sam ga sebi oko bedara. 3 Po drugi put doæla mi je rijeç Gospodinova, govoreøi: 4 “Uzmi pojas æto si ga kupio i nosiæ ga oko bedara svojih, digni se, idi na Eufrat i sakrij ga ondje u kakvu rasjeklinu kamenu!” 5 Otiæao sam ondje i sakrio ga na Eufratu, kako mi je zapovjedio Gospodin. 6 I dogodilo se poslije mnogo dana rekao mi Gospodin: “Digni se, idi na Eufrat i uzmi ondje pojas za koji sam zapovjedio da ga ondje sakrijeæ!” 7 Otiæao sam na Eufrat, potraœio sam i uzeo pojas s mjesta gdje sam ga bio sakrio, ali je pojas bio istrunuo, tako da nije vrijedio viæe nizaæto. 8 Onda mi je doæla rijeç Gospodinova, govoreøi: 9 Ovako govori Gospodin: Na isti naçin predat øu propasti oholost Judinu i veliku oholost Jeruzalema. 10 Ovi opaki ljudi, koji neøe sluæati rijeçi mojih, koji u zloøi svojega srca idu i trçe za drugim bogovima da im sluœe i klanjaju im se, oni øe biti kao taj pojas koji nije nizaæto. 11 Jer kako se pojas privije uz bedra çovjeka, tako sam htio da se kuøa Izraelova i sva kuøa Judina privije uz mene,govori Gospodin, da bude moj narod, moja dika, moja slava, moj

The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah concerning the droughts. 2 Judah mourns, and her gates languish; they mourn for the land, and the cry of Jerusalem has gone up. 3 Their nobles have sent their lads for water; they went to the cisterns and found no water. They returned with their vessels empty; they were ashamed and confounded and covered their heads. 4 Because the ground is parched, for there was no rain in the land, the plowmen were ashamed; they covered their heads. 5 Yes, the deer also gave birth in the field, but left because there was no grass. 6 And the wild donkeys stood in the desolate heights; they sniffed at the wind like jackals; their eyes failed because there was no grass.

Uzaludan prorokov zagovor

Rijeç Gospodinova doæla je Jeremiji povodom velike suæe, govoreøi: 2 Juda tuguje, njegovi gradovi ginu, leœe na zemlji, jauk se Jeruzalema podiœe. 3 Velikani æalju svoje sluge na vodu, dolaze na studence, ali ne nalaze vode, vraøaju se s praznim posudama, smeteni su i zbunjeni i pokrivaju svoju glavu. 4 Zbog polja æto je osuæeno, jer ne pada kiæa na zemlji, smeteni su seljaci i pokrivaju svoju glavu. 5 Jest, i koæuta æto raåa na polju ostavlja mlade svoje, jer viæe nema niæta zeleno. 6 Divlji magarci stoje na visovima i zijevaju za zrakom kao çaglji, oçi se njihove gase, jer nema hrane.

Then the LORD said to me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind could not be favorable toward this people. Cast them out of my sight, and let them go forth. 2 And it shall be, if they say to you, “Where should we go?” then you shall tell them, Thus says the LORD:

The word of the LORD also came to me, saying, 2 You shall not take a wife, nor shall you have sons or daughters in this place. 3 For thus says the LORD concerning the sons and daughters who are born in this place, and concerning their mothers who bore them and their fathers who begot them in this land: 4 They shall die gruesome deaths; they shall not be lamented nor shall they be buried, but they shall be like refuse on the face of the earth. They shall be consumed by the sword and by famine, and their corpses shall be meat for the birds of heaven and for the beasts of the earth. 5 For thus says the LORD: Do not enter the house of mourning, nor go to lament or bemoan them; for I have taken away my peace from this people, says the LORD, lovingkindness and mercies. 6 Both the great and the small shall die in this land. They shall not be buried; neither shall men lament for them, cut themselves, nor make themselves bald for them. 7 Nor shall men break bread in mourning for them, to comfort them for the dead; nor shall men give them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or their mother. 8 Also you shall not go into the house of feasting to sit with them, to eat and drink. 9 For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: “Behold, I will cause to cease from this place, before your eyes and in your days, the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride. 10 And it shall be, when you show this people all these words, and they say to you, “Why has the LORD pronounced all this great disaster against us? Or what is our iniquity? Or what is our sin that we have committed against the LORD our God?” 11 then you shall say to them, Because your fathers have forsaken me, says the LORD; they have walked after other gods and have served them and worshiped them, and have forsaken me and not kept my law. 12 And you have done worse than your fathers, for behold, each one walks according to the imagination of his own evil heart, so that no one listens to me. 13 Therefore I will cast you out of this land into a land that you do not know, neither you nor your fathers; and there you shall serve other gods day and night, where I will not show you favor. 14 Therefore behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, that it shall no more be said, “As the LORD lives who brought up the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt,” 15 but, “As the LORD lives who brought up the sons of Israel from the land of the north and from all the lands where he had driven them.” For I will bring them back into their land which I gave to their fathers. 16 Behold, I will send for many fishermen, says the LORD, and they shall fish them; and afterward I will send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain and every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks. 17 For my eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from my face, nor is their iniquity hidden from my eyes. 18 And first I will repay double for their iniquity and their sin, because they have defiled my land; they have filled my inheritance with the carcasses of their detestable and abominable idols. 19 O LORD, my strength and my fortress, my refuge in

Jeremija Odbacivanje proroka. Sud otkupljenja

Rijeç Gospodinova doæla je opet, govoreøi: 2 Neøeæ uzimati sebi œene, niti øeæ imati sinova ili køeri na ovom mjestu! 3 Jer ovako govori Gospodin za sinove i køeri æto se rode na ovom mjestu, za majke koje ih rode i za njihove oçeve kojima se rode u ovoj zemlji: 4 Veoma muçnom øe smrøu pomrijeti, neoplakani i nepokopani. Leœat øe kao gnoj na polju, od maça i od gladi izginut øe, mrtva øe tjelesa njihova biti hrana pticama nebeskim i poljskim œivotinjama . 5 Dalje je zapovjedio Gospodin: Ne ulazi u kuøu u kojoj je œalost, ne idi na tugovanje za mrtvacem i ne iskazuj nikomu saœaljenje svoje, jer uskraøujem tomu narodu prijateljstvo svoje, govori Gospodin, milost i milosråe. 6 Veliko i malo pomrijet øe ovoj zemlji, a da se ne pokopaju ili oplaçu, niti øe zbog njih praviti ureza niti kose æiæati. 7 Neøe se lomiti kruh œalosti da se tko utjeæi za mrtvim. Neøe se nikomu pruœiti çaæa utjehe za ocem njegovim ili za majkom njegovom. 8 Ne idi u kuøu na sveçanu gozbu da ondje sjediæ za jelom i piøem! 9 Jer ovako govori Gospodin vojska, Bog Izraelov: Doista, uçinit øu da na ovom mjestu pred vaæim oçima, u vaæe dane umukne glas radosti i glas veselja, poklik zaruçnikov i pjevanje zaruçnice. 10 Kada tomu narodu objaviæ sve ove rijeçi, a oni te upitaju: “Zaæto nam se prijeti Gospodin svim tim zlom velikim, u çemu je naæa krivnja i naæ grijeh æto smo poçinili protiv Gospodina, svojega Boga?” 11 onda im odgovorio: U tom æto su vaæi oçevi ostavili mene, govori Gospodin, i trçali su za drugim bogovima, sluœili im i klanjali im se, a mene su ostavili i zakona mojega nisu drœali. 12 Vi ste joæ gore çinili nego vaæi oçevi. Svaki od vas slijedi samo svoje prkosno i zlo srce ne sluæajuøi mene. 13 Zato øu vas izbaciti iz ove zemlje u zemlju koje niste poznavali ni vi ni vaæi oçevi. Ondje moœete sluœiti drugim bogovima dan i noø, a ja viæe nemam milosråa s vama. 14 Zato, evo, doøi øe dani, govori Gospodin, kad se neøe viæe govoriti: “Tako mi œivoga Gospodina koji je izveo Izraelove sinove iz Egipta!” 15 Nego: “Tako mi œivoga Gospodina, koji je vodio kuøi Izraelove sinove iz sjeverne zemlje i iz svih zemalja kamo ih je prognao!” Ja øu ih natrag dovesti u njihovu zemlju, koju sam dao njihovim oçevima. 16 Gle, ja æaljem mnoge ribare, govori Gospodin, da ih love, a potom æaljem mnoge lovce da ih love na svakoj gori i na svakoj visini i u kamenim rasjeklinama. 17 Jer moje oçi prate sve putove njihove, oni nisu skriveni od mene i krivnja njihova nije zaklonjena mojim oçima. 18 Tako plaøam najprije dvostruko za njihovu krivnju i za njihov grijeh, jer su oneçistili svoju baætinu svojim neœivim, gadnim grozotama idolskim æto napunjaju moju baætinu. 19 Gospodine, snago moja, grade moj, moje utoçiæte u dan nevolje! Narodi dolaze tebi s krajeva zemlje i govore: Oçevi naæi imali su samo laœne idole, niætave, nekorisne bogove.

The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron; with the point of a diamond it is engraved on the tablet of their heart, and on the horns of your altars, 2 while their children remember their altars and their wooden images by the green trees on the high hills. 3 O my mountain in the field, I will give as plunder your wealth, all your treasures, and your high places of sin within all your borders. 4 And you, even yourself, shall let go of your heritage which I gave you; and I will cause you to serve your enemies in the land which you do not know; for you have kindled a fire in my anger which shall burn forever. 5 Thus says the LORD: Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart departs from the LORD. 6 For he shall be like a shrub in the desert, and shall not see when good comes, but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land which is not inhabited. 7 Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, and whose hope is the LORD. 8 For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river, and will not fear when heat comes; but her leaf will be green, and will not be anxious in the year of drought, nor will cease from yielding fruit. 9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; Who can know it? 10 I, the LORD, search the heart, I test the mind, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. 11 As a partridge that broods but does not hatch, so is he who gets riches, but not by right; it will leave him in the midst of his days, and at his end he will be a fool. 12 A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary. 13 O LORD, the hope of Israel, all who forsake you shall be ashamed. “Those who depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters.” 14 Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved, for you are my praise. 15 Indeed they say to me, “Where is the word of the LORD? Let it come now!” 16 As for me, I have not hurried away from being a shepherd who follows you, nor have I desired the woeful day; you know what came out of my lips; it was right there before you. 17 Do not be a terror to me; you are my hope in the day of doom. 18 Let them be ashamed who persecute me, but do not let me be put to shame; let them be dismayed, but do not let me be dismayed. Bring on them the day of doom, and destroy them with double destruction! 19 Thus the LORD said to me: Go and stand in the gate of the children of the people, by which the kings of Judah come in and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem; 20 and say to them, Hear the word of the LORD, you

On stoji u suhoj pustinji, u slanoj zemlji u kojoj se ne prebiva. 7 Blagoslovljen je çovjek koji se uzda u Gospodina i çija je nada Gospodin! 8 On je kao drvo usaåeno kraj vode, koje k potoku pruœa korijenje svoje. Ono se ne treba niæta bojati kad doåe œega. Liæøe njegovo ostaje zeleno; u suænoj godini nema nikakve potrebe. Ne prestaje donositi plod. 9 Lukavo je srce viæe nego sve, i podmuklo. Tko da ga shvati? 10 Ja, Gospodin, istraœujem srce, ispitujem razum da naplatim svakomu prema njegovim putovima, kako zasluœuju njegova djela. 11 Ptica koja leœi na jajima koje nije snijela jest onaj koji steçe bogatstvo, ali nepravdom. U polovici svojega œivota mora ga ostaviti, na svræetku svojem ostaje kao luåak. 12 Prijestolje slavno uzviæeno od poçetka, jest mjesto svetiæta naæega. 13 Nado Izraelova: Gospodine! Svi koji te ostave, posramit øe se; koji odstupe od tebe, zapisat øe se u prah, jer su ostavili izvor vode œive, Gospodina. 14 Ozdravi me, Gospodine, i ja øu biti zdrav i spasi me i ja øu biti spaæen, jer si ti moja slava. 15 Gle, oni mi govore: “Gdje je rijeç Gospodinova? Neka doåe sada!” 16 A ja se nisam œurio otiøi od sluœbe pastira koji te slijedi; niti sam çeznuo za danom nesreøe. Ti znaæ æto je izaælo iz mojih usana; pred tobom je to otvoreno! 17 Ne budi mi strah, ti, moje utoçiæte na dan nesreøe! 18 Progonitelji moji neka propadnu, a ja ne, neka se oni prestraæe, a ja ne! Pusti na njih dan nesreøe i razbij ih dvostrukim udarcem! 19 Ovako mi je rekao Gospodin: Idi, postavi se na vrata svoje braøe, na koja Judini kraljevi izlaze i ulaze, i na sva ostala vrata jeruzalemska! 20 Kaœi im: Çujte rijeç Gospodinovu, Judini kraljevi, svi Judejci, svi stanovnici jeruzalemski, koji idete kroz ova vrata!

The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying: 2 “Arise and go down to the potter’s house, and there I will cause you to hear my words.” 3 Then I went down to the potter’s house, and there he was, making something at the wheel. 4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter; so he made it again into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to make. 5 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying: 6 O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter? says the LORD. “Look, as the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel! 7 The instant I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, to pull down, and to destroy it, 8 if that nation against whom I have spoken turns from its evil, I will relent of the disaster that I thought to bring upon it. 9 And the instant I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it, 10 if it does evil in my sight so that it does not obey my voice, then I will relent concerning the good with which I said I would benefit it. 11 Now therefore, speak to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus says the LORD: Behold, I am fashioning a disaster and devising a plan against you. Return now every one from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings good. 12 And they said, “That is hopeless! So we will walk according to our own plans, and we will every one do the imagination of his evil heart.” 13 Therefore thus says the LORD: “Ask now among the Gentiles, who has heard such things? The virgin of Israel has done a very horrible thing. 14 Will a man leave the snow-water of Lebanon, which comes from the rock of the field? Will the cold flowing waters be forsaken for strange waters?

Lonçar, prilika baæanskog djelovanja

Rijeç Gospodinova doæla je Jeremiji, govoreøi: 2 “Ustani, siåi u kuøu lonçarovu, ondje øu ti objaviti proroçanstvo svoje!” 3 Siæao sam u kuøu lonçarovu, on je bio upravo pri poslu na lonçarskom kolu. 4 Pokvarila se posuda koju je upravo pravio, kako to bude posudu rukom lonçarovom, pa je napravio drugu posudu, kako je lonçaru bilo po volji. 5 Onda mi je doæla rijeç Gospodinova, govoreøi: 6 Ne mogu li ja tako kao lonçar postupati s vama, kuøo Izraelova, govori Gospodin. Jest, kako je glina u ruci lonçarovoj, tako ste vi u mojoj ruci, kuøo Izraelova! 7 Sad zaprijetim jednom narodu ili jednom kraljevstvu da øu ga iskorijeniti, uniætiti, zatrti. 8 Obrati li se taj narod od svoje zloøe, zbog koje sam mu zaprijetio, meni øe biti œao za nesreøu koju sam mu mislio nanijeti. 9 Sad obeøam jednom narodu ili jednom kraljevstvu da øu ga sazidati i zasaditi. 10 Uçini li æto je zlo u mojim oçima ne sluæajuøi mojega glasa, meni øe biti œao za dobro koje sam mu mislio iskazati. 11 Zato sad objavi Judinom narodu i jeruzalemskim stanovnicima, ovako govori Gospodin: Evo, spremam protiv vas nesreøu, smislio sam protiv vas nesreøu i skovao protiv vas nakanu! Vratite se ipak, svaki sa svojega zla puta, popravite svoje putove i svoja djela! 12 A oni øe odgovoriti: “Zaludu je! Mi idemo za svojim vlastitim naumima. Svaki hoøe raditi po tvrdokornosti svojega zla srca.” 13 Zato ovako govori Gospodin: Pitajte po narodima je li tko çuo takvo æto?

Thus says the LORD: Go and get a potter’s earthen flask, and take some of the elders of the people and some of the elders of the priests. 2 And go out to the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the Potsherd Gate; and proclaim there the words that I will tell you, 3 and say, Hear the word of the LORD, O kings of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem. Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring such a catastrophe on this place, that whoever hears of it, his ears will tingle. 4 Because they have forsaken me and made this an alien place, because they have burned incense in it to other gods whom neither they, their fathers, nor the kings of Judah have known, and have filled this place with the blood of the innocents 5 (they have also built the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings to Baal, which I did not command or speak, nor did it come into my mind), 6 therefore behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, that this place shall no more be called Tophet or the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter. 7 And I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place, and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies and by the hands of those who seek their lives; their corpses I will give as meat for the birds of the heaven and for the beasts of the earth. 8 I will make this city desolate and a hissing; everyone who passes by it will be astonished and hiss because of all its plagues. 9 And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons

Uzmi sobom nekoliko narodnih i sveøeniçkih starjeæina! 2 Idi van u dolinu Ben-Hinom æto je pred Vratima crepova i proglasi ondje rijeçi æto øu ti ih izreøi! 3 Kaœi: Çujte rijeç Gospodinovu, Judini kraljevi, stanovnici jeruzalemski!

Now Pashhur the son of Immer, the priest who was also chief governor in the house of the LORD, heard that Jeremiah prophesied these things. 2 Then Pashhur struck Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the high gate of Benjamin, which was by the house of the LORD. 3 And it happened on the next day that Pashhur brought Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then Jeremiah said to him, The L ORD has not called your name Pashhur, but Magor-Missabib. 4 For thus says the LORD: ‘Behold, I will make you a terror to yourself and to all your friends; and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes shall see it. I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive to Babylon and slay them with the sword. 5 Moreover I will deliver all the wealth of this city, all its produce, and all its precious things; all the treasures of the kings of Judah I will give into the hand of their enemies, who will plunder them, seize them, and carry them to Babylon. 6 And you, Pashhur, and all who dwell in your house, shall go into captivity. You shall go to Babylon, and there you shall die, and be buried there, you and all your friends, to whom you have prophesied lies. 7 O LORD, you induced me, and I was persuaded; you are stronger than I, and have prevailed. I am in derision daily; everyone mocks me. 8 For when I spoke, I cried out; I shouted, “Violence and plunder!” Because the word of the LORD was made to me a reproach and a derision daily. 9 Then I said, “I will not make mention of him, nor speak anymore in his name.” But his word was in my heart like a burning fire shut up in my bones; I was weary of holding it back, and I could not. 10 For I heard many mocking: “Fear on every side!” “Report,” they say, “and we will report it!” All my acquaintances watched for my stumbling, saying, “Perhaps he can be induced; Then we will prevail against him, and we will take our revenge on him.” 11 But the LORD is with me as a mighty, awesome one. Therefore my persecutors will stumble, and will not prevail. They will be greatly ashamed, for they will not prosper. Their everlasting confusion will never be for-

Zlostavljanje i tuœba proroka

Paæhur, sin Imerov, sveøenik koji je bio i veliki nadzornik u Gospodinovu domu, çuo da je prorok Jeremija prorokovao ove rijeçi. 2 Onda je Paæhur istukao proroka Jeremiju i dao ga staviti u klade æto su se nalazile na gornjim vratima, to jest na vratima Benjaminovim, Gospodinova doma. 3 Kad Paæhur ujutro izvadio Jeremiju iz klada, rekao mu Jeremija: Gospodin te ne zove viæe Paæhur, nego Magor-Misabib (æto znaçi “groza unaokolo”). 4 Jer ovako govori Gospodin: Evo, çinim te grozom za te i za sve prijatelje tvoje! Oni øe pasti od maça svojih neprijatelja, i ti øeæ to vidjeti vlastitim oçima. Svega øu Judu dati u ruke babilonskom kralju. On øe ih zarobljene odvesti u Babilon i pobit øe ih maçem. 5 Predat øu sve bogatstvo toga grada, sve dobro njegovo i dragocjenosti njegove. Sve blago Judinih kraljeva dat øu u ruke njihovim neprijateljima. Oni øe ga razgrabiti, uzeti i u Babilon odnijeti. 6 l ti, Paæhure, i svi ukuøani tvoji, vi øete otiøi u ropstvo. U Babilon øeæ doøi, ondje øeæ umrijeti i ondje pokopan biti, ti i svi prijatelji tvoji, kojima si prorokovao laœi. 7 Ti si me obmanuo, Gospodine, i ja sam se dao obmanuti. Ti si me uhvatio i prisilio, na ruglo sam iz dana u dan, i sav mi se svijet ruga. 8 Ah, kad govorim, moram zavikati: “Nepravda i otimaçina!” moram vikati, jer rijeç Gospodinova donosi mi svaki dan porugu i ruglo. 9 Onda sam rekao: “Neøu viæe misliti na njega, neøu viæe nikada govoriti u njegovo Ime!” Onda gori i bukti u meni kao oganj, zatvoren u mojim kostima! Muçim se da ga podnesem, ali ne mogu viæe! 10 Ah, çujem tolike gdje æapuøu: “Groza unaokolo! Prijavite ga, mi ga izdajemo! Svi moji prijatelji vrebaju da se spotaknem: On se, moœe biti, dade obmanuti, imamo ga u ruci i osvetit øemo mu se.” 11 Ali je sa mnom Gospodin kao jak junak, zato neka navaljuju progonitelji moji, ne mogu mi

The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD when king Zedekiah sent to him Pashhur the son of Melchiah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, saying, 2 “Please inquire of the L ORD for us, for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon makes war against us. Perhaps the LORD will deal with us according to all his wonderful works, that the king may go away from us.” 3 Then Jeremiah said to them, “Thus you shall say to Zedekiah, 4 ‘Thus says the LORD God of Israel: Behold, I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands, with which you fight against the king of Babylon and the Chaldeans who besiege you outside the walls; and I will assemble them in the midst of this city. 5 I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, even in anger and fury and great wrath. 6 I will strike the inhabitants of this city, both man and beast; they shall die of a great pestilence. 7 And afterward, says the L ORD , I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah, his servants and the people, and such as are left in this city from the pestilence and the sword and the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those who seek their life; and he shall strike them with the edge of the sword. He shall not spare them, or have pity or mercy.’ ” 8 Now you shall say to this people, “Thus says the LORD: ‘Behold, I set before you the way of life and the way of death. 9 He who remains in this city shall die by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence; but he who goes out and defects to the Chaldeans who besiege you, he shall live, and his life shall be as a prize to him. 10 For I have set my face against this city for adversity and not for good, says the LORD. It shall be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire.’ ” 11 And concerning the house of the king of Judah, say, “Hear the word of the LORD, 12 O house of David! ‘Thus says the LORD: Execute judgment in the morning; and deliver him who is plundered out of the hand of the oppressor, lest my fury go out like fire and burn so that no one can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.

Predavanje Zedekije i Jeruzalema Nebukadnezaru

Rijeç Gospodinova doæla je Jeremiji, kad je kralj Zedekija poslao k njemu Paæhura, sina Malkijina, i sveøenika Sefaniju, sina Maasejina, govoreøi: 2 “Upitaj, ipak, Gospodina za nas; Nebukadnezar, babilonski kralj, vojuje protiv nas. Moœda uçini Gospodin na nama jedno od svojih çudesa, tako da onaj ode od nas.” 3 Onda im je Jeremija odgovorio: “Ovako recite Zedekiji: 4 ‘Ovako govori Gospodin, Bog Izraelov: Evo, ja okreøem natrag oruœje u vaæoj ruci, kojim se borite protiv babilonskoga kralja i protiv Kaldejaca koji vas opsjedaju vani pred zidom, skupljam ih usred toga grada. 5 Ja vojujem sam na vas rukom podignutom, jakom miæicom, gnjevom, jaroæøu i œestinom velikom. 6 Udaram stanovnike toga grada, ljude i stoku, kugom velikom da izginu. 7 Onda, govori Gospodin, dajem Zedekiju, Judina kralja, çinovnike njegove i æto je od naroda u tom gradu sve preostalo od pomora, maça i gladi, u ruke babilonskom kralju Nebukadnezaru, u ruke njihovim neprijateljima , u ruke onima koji im rade o glavi.

Tko iziåe i preda se Kaldejcima koji vas opsjedaju, ostaje na œivotu i ima svoj œivot kao plijen! 10 Jer upravljam svoje lice protiv toga grada na nesreøu, a ne na spasenje, govori Gospodin.

Thus says the LORD: “Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and there speak this

word, 2 and say, ‘Hear the word of the LORD, O king of Judah, you who sit on the throne of David, you and your servants and your people who enter these gates! 3 Thus says the LORD: Execute judgment and righteousness, and deliver the plundered out of the hand of the oppressor. Do no wrong and do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, or the widow, nor shed innocent blood in this place. 4 For if you indeed do this thing, then shall enter the gates of this house, riding on horses and in chariots, accompanied by servants and people, kings who sit on the throne of David. 5 But if you will not hear these words, I swear by myself, says the LORD, that this house shall become a desolation.’” 6 For thus says the LORD to the house of the king of Judah: You are Gilead to me, the head of Lebanon; yet I surely will make you a wilderness, and cities which are not inhabited. 7 I will prepare destroyers against you, everyone with his weapons; they shall cut down your choice cedars and cast them into the fire. 8 And many nations will pass by this city; and everyone will say to his neighbor, “Why has the LORD done so to this great city?” 9 Then they will answer, “Because they have forsaken the covenant of the L ORD their God, and worshiped other gods and served them.” 10 Weep not for the dead, nor bemoan him; but weep bitterly for him who goes away, for he shall return no more, nor see his native country. 11 For thus says the LORD concerning Shallum the son of Josiah, king of Judah, who reigned instead of Josiah his father, who went from this place: He shall not return here anymore, 12 but he shall die in the place where they have led him captive, and shall see this land no more. 13 Woe to him who builds his house by unrighteousness and his chambers by injustice, who uses his neighbor’s service without wages and gives him nothing for his work, 14 who says, “I will build myself a wide house with spacious chambers,” and cut out windows for it, paneling it with cedar and painting it with vermilion. 15 Shall you reign because you enclose yourself in cedar? Did not your father eat and drink, and do justice and righteousness? Then it was well with him. 16 He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well. Was not this knowing me? says the LORD. 17 Yet your eyes and your heart are for nothing but your covetousness, for shedding innocent blood, and practicing oppression and violence. 18 Therefore thus says the L ORD concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah: They shall not lament for him, saying, “Alas, my brother!” or “Alas, my sister!” They shall not lament for him, saying, “Alas, master!” or “Alas, his glory!Ú” 19 He shall be buried with the burial of a donkey, dragged and cast out beyond the gates of Jerusalem. 20 Go up to Lebanon, and cry out, and lift up your

Prijetnja kraljevskoj kuøi

Ovako govori Gospodin: “Siåi na dvor Judina kralja, objavi ondje ovu rijeç! 2 I kaœi: ‘Çuj rijeç Gospodinovu, kralju Judin, koji sjediæ na prijestolju Davidovu, ti, çinovnici tvoji i tvoj narod æto ulazi na ova vrata! 3 Ovako govori Gospodin: Çinite pravo i pravednost! Izbavljajte potlaçenoga iz ruku tlaçitelja! Doæljaka, sirotu i udovicu ne zapostavljajte! Ne çinite nasilja! Ne prolijevajte neduœne krvi na ovom mjestu! 4 Ako posluæate ovu zapovijed, ulazit øe na vrata ove kuøe kraljevi koji sjede na prijestolju Davidovu, na kolima i na konjima, on, çinovnici njegovi i njegov narod. 5 Ako li ne posluæate ovih zapovijedi, zakleo sam se sam sobom, govori Gospodin: da øe ovaj dvor biti ruæevina.’ ” 6 Jest, ovako govori Gospodin o dvoru Judina kralja: Kao Gilead bila si mi, kao vrhunac Lebanon! Ali zaista, uçinit øu te pustinjom, gradom u kojem se ne prebiva. 7 Spremam uniætitelje protiv tebe: muœeve i oruœje. Posjeøi øe tvoje krasne cedre i pobacati ih u oganj. 8 Kad onda mnogi ljudi prolaze pokraj toga grada i upitaju jedan drugoga: “Zaæto je Gospodin ovo uçinio od toga grada velikoga?” 9 Onda øe odgovoriti: “Jer je postao nevjeran zavjetu s Gospodinom, svojim Bogom, klanjao se drugim bogovima i sluœio je njima.” 10 Ne plaçite za mrtvacem i ne œalite ga, nego plaçite za onim koji odlazi, da se viæe nikada ne vrati kuøi, da viæe nikada ne vidi svoje domovine! 11 Jer ovako govori Gospodin o Æalumu, sinu Josije, Judina kralja, koji je mjesto svojega oca Josije bio postao kralj: Koji ode iz ovoga mjesta, ne vraøa se viæe natrag. 12 Nego øe umrijeti u mjestu kamo su ga odveli u ropstvo, a ove zemlje neøe viæe vidjeti. 13 Teæko onomu koji gradi svoju kuøu nepravedno i svoje odaje po nepravdi, koji puæta svojega bliœnjega da radi nizaæto, usteœe mu njegovu plaøu! 14 Koji govori: “Ja øu graditi sebi prostranu kuøu i prostrane spreme.” Probija sebi prozore, oblaœe cedrom i maœe crvenilom. 15 Jesi li postao kralj da se ograåujeæ zgradama od cedra? Zar nije i tvoj otac jeo i pio, pa ipak je çinio pravo i pravednost? I bilo mu je dobro. 16 Pribavljao je pravicu potlaçenomu i siromahu, bilo je onda dobro. Nije li to mene poznavati, govori Gospodin. 17 Ali tvoje oko i srce ne ide za tim nego samo za dobitkom svojim i da prolijevaæ krv neduœnu i da tlaçiæ i ugnjetavaæ. 18 Zato govori Gospodin o Jojakimu, sinu Josije, kralju Judinu: Ne pjeva mu se tuœaljka mrtvaçka: “Ah, brate moj!” ili “Ah, sestro moja!” Ne pjeva mi se tuœaljka mrtvaçka: “Ah, gospodaru!” ili “Ah, presvijetli!” 19 Bit øe mu pokop magareøi; izvuku ga i bace ga van pred vrata jeruzalemska.

Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! says the

LORD. 2 Therefore thus says the LORD God of Israel against the shepherds who feed my people: “You have scattered my flock, driven them away, and not attended to them. Behold, I will attend to you for the evil of your doings, says the LORD. 3 But I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries where I have driven them, and bring them back to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase. 4 I will set up shepherds over them who will feed them; and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, nor shall they be lacking, says the LORD. 5 Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, That I will raise to David a Branch of righteousness; a King shall reign and prosper, and execute judgment and righteousness in the earth. 6 In his days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell safely; now this is his name by which he will be called: ”The LORD is our Righteousness.’ ” 7 Therefore, behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, that they shall no longer say, “As the LORD lives who brought up the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt,” 8 but, “As the LORD lives who brought up and led the descendants of the house of Israel from the north country and from all the countries where I had driven them.” And they shall dwell in their own land. 9 My heart within me is broken because of the prophets; all my bones shake.

Zli pastiri i dobri pastir

Sad ja pohaåam vas za vaæa zla djela, govori Gospodin. 3 Skupljam ostatak svojih ovaca iz svih zemalja kamo sam ih prognao i vodim ih opet na paænjak njihov, da rastu i mnoœe se. 4 Postavit øu im pastire koji øe ih çuvati.

The LORD showed me, and there were two baskets of figs set before the temple of the LORD, after Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and the princes of Judah with the craftsmen and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon. 2 One basket had very good figs, like the figs that are first ripe; and the other basket had very bad figs which could not be eaten, they were so bad.” 3 Then the LORD said to me, “What do you see, Jeremiah?” And I said, “Figs, the good figs, very good; and the bad, very bad, which cannot be eaten, they are so bad.” 4 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 5 “Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: ‘Like these good figs, so will I acknowledge those who are carried away captive from Judah, whom I have sent out of this place for their own good, into the land of the Chaldeans. 6 For I will set my eyes on them for good, and I will bring them back to this land; I will build them and not pull them down, and I will plant them and not pluck them up. 7 Then I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the LORD; and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, for they shall return to me with their whole heart. 8 And as the bad figs which cannot be eaten, they are so bad–surely thus says the LORD–so will I give up Zedekiah the king of Judah, his princes, the residue of Jerusalem who remain in this land, and those who dwell in the land of Egypt. 9 I will deliver them to trouble into all the kingdoms of the earth, for their harm, to be a reproach and a byword, a taunt and a curse, in all places where I shall drive them.

Sudbina Judina. Primjer koæarice za smokve

24

Gospodin mi je dao vidjeti ovo: koæarice smokava stajale su pred domom Gospodinovim kad je Nebukadnezar, babilonski kralj, bio iz Jeruzalema odveo i u Babilon doveo Jehoniju, sina Jojakimova, Judina kralja, i vladare Judine zajedno s kovaçima i bravarima. 2 U jednoj su koæarici bile smokve vrlo dobre, sliçne ranim smokvama; u drugoj su koæarici bile vrlo loæe smokve, koje se nisu mogle jesti; tako su bile loæe. 3 Gospodin me upitao: “Jeremija æto vidiæ?” Ja sam odgovorio: “Smokve! Dobre su smokve vrlo dobre; loæe su vrlo loæe, tako loæe da se ne mogu jesti.” 4 Onda mi je doæla rijeç Gospodinova, govoreøi: 5 “Ovako govori Gospodin, Bog Izraelov: ‘Kao te dobre smokve, tako øu milostivo pogledati zarobljenike iz Jude æto sam ih odaslao iz ovoga mjesta u zemlju Kaldejaca. 6 Svoje oko puno milosti okrenut øu na njih i opet ih dovesti u ovu zemlju, sazidati ih i viæe ih ne razarati, zasaditi ih i viæe ih ne poçupati. 7 I dat øu im razbor da spoznaju da sam ja Gospodin.

The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah (which was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon), 2 which Jeremiah the prophet spoke to all the people of Judah and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying: 3 From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, even to this day, this is the twenty-third year in which the word of the LORD has come to me; and I have spoken to you, rising early and speaking, but you have not listened. 4 And the LORD has sent to you all his servants the prophets, rising early and sending them, but you have not listened nor inclined your ear to hear. 5 They said, “Repent now everyone of his evil way and his evil doings, and dwell in the land that the LORD has given to you and your fathers forever and ever. 6 Do not go after other gods to serve them and worship them, and do not provoke me to anger with the works of your hands; and I will not harm you.” 7 Yet you have not listened to me, says the LORD, that you might provoke me to anger with the works of your hands to your own hurt. 8 Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts: ‘Because you have not heard my words, 9 behold, I will send and take all the families of the north,’ says the LORD, ‘and Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, against its inhabitants, and against these nations all around, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, a hissing, and perpetual desolations. 10 Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones and the light of the lamp. 11 And this whole land shall be a desolation and an astonishment, and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years. 12 Then it will come to pass, when seventy years are completed, that I will punish the king of Babylon and that nation, the land of the Chaldeans, for their iniquity, says the LORD; and I will make it a perpetual desolation. 13 So I will bring on that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah has prophesied concerning all the nations. 14 (For many nations and great kings shall be served by them also; and I will repay them according to their deeds and according to the works of their own hands.)’ ” 15 For thus says the LORD God of Israel to me: “Take this wine cup of fury from my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send you, to drink it. 16 And they will drink and stagger and go mad because of the sword that I will send among them.” 17 Then I took the cup from the LORD’s hand, and made all the nations drink, to whom the LORD had sent me: 18 Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, its kings and its princes, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, a hissing, and a curse, as it is this day; 19 Pharaoh king of Egypt, his servants, his princes, and all his people; 20 all the mixed multitude, all the kings of the land of

Sedamdesetogodiænje ropstvo Judino

Rijeç Gospodinova doæla je Jeremiji za sav Judin narod u çetvrtoj godini Jojakima, sina Josijina, Judina kralja–bila je to prva godina vladanja babilonskog kralja Nebukadnezara. 2 Prorok Jeremija objavio ju je svem narodu Judinu i svim stanovnicima jeruzalemskim, govoreøi: 3 Od trinaeste godine Josije, sina Amonova, Judina kralja, sve do danaænjega dana veø dvadeset i tri godine dolazila mi je rijeç Gospodinova i govorio sam vam neumorno, ali vi niste sluæali. 4 I Gospodin vam je neumorno slao sve svoje sluge i proroke, ali vi niste sluæali, niti ste prignuli svojega uha da ih çujete. 5 Oni su vam govorili: “Vratite se svaki sa svojega zla puta i od svojih nevaljalih djela, pa øete ostati i stanovati u zemlji koju je Gospodin dao vama i vaæim oçevima za vjeçna vremena! 6 Ne trçite za drugim bogovima da im sluœite i da im se klanjate! Ne draœite me na srdœbu loæim djelima svojih ruku, da vas ne udarim nesreøom! 7 Ali me vi niste posluæali, govori Gospodin, draœili ste me na srdœbu loæim djelom svojih ruku, na propast svoju. 8 Stoga ovako govori Gospodin vojska: Jer niste posluæali moje rijeçi, 9 evo, ja øu poslati po sve narode sjeverne, i po Nebukadnezara, babilonskoga kralja, svojega slugu. Pustit øu ih da navale na tu zemlju i na stanovnike njezine i na sve te narode okolne, zatrt øu ih i uçinit øu ih uœasom, ruglom i pustoæi vjeçnom. 10 Uçinit øu da prestane meåu njima glas radosti i glas veselja, poklik zaruçnikov i poklik zaruçnice, lupa mlina i svjetlost svjetiljke. 11 Sva øe ta zemlja postati pustinja i pustoæ; i ti øe narodi sluœiti babilonskom kralju sedamdeset godina. 12 Onda øe se dogoditi, kad se navræi sedamdeset godina, da øu na babilonskom kralju i onom narodu, govori Gospodin, i na zemlji Kaldejaca kazniti njihovu krivnju i uçinit øu je pustoæi vjeçnom. 13 Pustit øu da se na toj zemlji ispune sve moje rijeçi æto sam ih rekao o njoj, sve æto stoji napisano u ovoj knjizi, æto je prorokovao Jeremija za sve narode. 14 Jer øe i oni sluœiti moønim narodima i silnim kraljevima. Po djelima njihovim i po djelima njihovih ruku platit øu njima. 15 Jer ovako mi govori Gospodin, Bog Izraelov: Uzmi iz moje ruke ovu çaæu gnjevnoga vina i daj da se napiju iz nje svi narodi kojima te poæaljem. 16 Neka piju, teturaju i smuæeni postanu pred maçem koji øu poslati meåu njih! 17 Uzeo sam çaæu iz ruke Gospodinove i dao sam da piju iz nje svi narodi kojima me je poslao Gospodin. 18 Jeruzalem i gradovi Judini, njihovi kraljevi i glavari, da budu pustinja, uœas, ruglo i prokletstvo, kako je danas. 19 Faraon, egipatski kralj, çinovnici njegovi, glavari njegovi i sav njegov narod; 20 sva mjeæavina naroda, svi kraljevi zemlje

In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came from the LORD, saying, 2 “Thus says the LORD: ‘Stand in the court of the LORD’s house, and speak to all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in the LORD’s house, all the words that I command you to speak to them. Do not diminish a word. 3 Perhaps everyone will listen and turn from his evil way, that I may relent concerning the calamity which I purpose to bring on them because of the evil of their doings.’

Jeremijin govor o propasti grada i doma

In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, 2 Thus says the LORD to me: Make for yourselves bonds and yokes, and put them on your neck, 3 and send them to the king of Edom, the king of Moab, the king of the Ammonites, the king of Tyre, and the king of Sidon, by the hand of the messengers who come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah. 4 And command them to say to their masters, Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel–thus you shall say to your masters: 5 I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are on the ground, by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and have given it to whom it seemed proper to me. 6 And now I have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the beasts of the field I have also given him to serve him. 7 So all nations shall serve him and his son and his son’s son, until the time of his land comes; and then many nations and great kings shall make him serve them. 8 And it shall be, that the nation and kingdom which will not serve Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and which will not put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation I will punish, says the LORD, with the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand. 9 Therefore do not listen to your prophets, your diviners, your dreamers, your soothsayers, or your sorcerers, who speak to you, saying, “You shall not serve the king of Babylon.” 10 For they prophesy a lie to you, to remove you far from your land; and I will drive you out, and you will perish. 11 But the nations that bring their necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serve him, I will let them remain in their own land, says the LORD, ‘and they shall till it and dwell in it. 12 I also spoke to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live! 13 Why will you die, you and your people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as the LORD has spoken against the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon? 14 Therefore do not listen to the words of the prophets who speak to you, saying, You shall not serve the king of Babylon, for they prophesy a lie to you; 15 for I have not sent them, says the LORD, yet they prophesy a lie in My name, that I may drive you out, and that you may perish, you and the prophets who prophesy to you. 16 Also I spoke to the priests and to all this people, saying, Thus says the LORD: Do not listen to the words of your prophets who prophesy to you, saying, “Behold, the vessels of the LORD’s house will now shortly be brought back from Babylon;” for they prophesy a lie to you.

Jaram Nebukadnezarov

U poçetku vladanja Zedekija, sina Josijina, Judina kralja, doæla je Jeremiji ova rijeç od Gospodina. 2 Ovako mi je rekao Gospodin: Napravi sebi uœad i jaram stavi sebi oko vrata! 3 Poæalji to isto edomskom kralju, i moapskom kralju, i amonskom kralju, i tirskom kralju i sidonskom kralju po poslanicima, koji su doæli u Jeruzalem Zedekiji, kralju Judinu! 4 Daj im ovu zapovijed za njihove gospodare: Ovako govori Gospodin vojska, Bog Izraelov; recite svojim gospodarima: 5 Ja sam stvorio zemlju, ljude i œivotinje na zemlji svojom veliko snagom i svojom rukom podignutom i dajem ih komu ja hoøu. 6 Sada dajem sve te svoje zemlje sluzi Nebukadnezaru, babilonskom kralju. I poljske œivotinje dajem mu da mu sluœe. 7 Svi narodi neka mu budu podloœni, njegovom sinu i njegovo unuku, dok doåe vrijeme i njegovoj zemlji, da ga pokore moøni narodi i veliki kraljevi. 8 I bit øe narod, i kraljevstvo æto neøe sluœiti babilonskom kralju Nebukadnezaru i neøe saviti æiju svoju u jaram babilonskoga kralja, taj øu narod kazniti, govori Gospodin, pohoditi maçem, glaåu i kugom, dok ga posve ne pokorim njegovom rukom. 9 Zato ne sluæajte svojih proroka, ni vraçara, ni sanjaça, ni gatara i ni çarobnjaka, koji vam govore: “Neøete sluœiti babilonskom kralju!” 10 Jer vam oni prorokuju laœi da vas odvedu iz zemlje vaæe, da propadnete kad bih vas ja odbacio. 11 A narod koji savije æiju svoju pod jaram babilonskoga kralja i da mu sluœi ostavit øu mirno na njegovoj zemlji, govori Gospodin, da je obraåuje i prebiva u njoj. 12 Zedekiji, kralju Judinu, rekao sam isto tako: Savijte æiju svoju pod jaram babilonskoga kralja! Budite podloœni njemu i njegovu narodu, pa øete ostati na œivotu! 13 Zaæto da poginete, ti i tvoj narod, od maça, gladi i kuge, kako je zaprijetio Gospodin narodu koji neøe sluœiti babilonskom kralju? 14 Ne sluæajte rijeçi proroka koji vam govore: Neøete sluœiti babilonskom kralju, jer vam oni prorokuju laœi. 15 Ja ih nisam poslao, govori Gospodin, oni vam laœno prorokuju u Ime moje, da vas odbacim i da propadnete zajedno s prorocima koji su vam prorokovali. 16 Sveøenicima i svemu narodu rekao sam: Ovako govori Gospodin: Ne sluæajte rijeçi svojih proroka koji vam prorokuju ovako: Zaista, posuåe Gospodinova doma doskora øe se vratiti iz Babilona, jer vam oni prorokuju laœi. 17 Ne sluæajte ih!

Then I will bring them up and restore them to this place.

And it happened in the same year, at the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year and in the fifth month, that Hananiah the son of Azur the prophet, who was from Gibeon, spoke to me in the house of the LORD in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying, 2 “Thus speaks the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying: ‘I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon. 3 Within two full years I will bring back to this place all the vessels of the L ORD ’s house, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place and carried to Babylon. 4 And I will bring back to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, with all the captives of Judah who went to Babylon, says the LORD, ‘for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.’ ” 5 Then the prophet Jeremiah spoke to the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests and in the presence of all the people who stood in the house of the LORD, 6 and the prophet Jeremiah said, “Amen! The LORD do so; the LORD perform your words which you have prophesied, to bring back the vessels of the LORD’s house and all who were carried away captive, from Babylon to this place. 7 Nevertheless hear now this word that I speak in your hearing and in the hearing of all the people: 8 The prophets who have been before me and before you of old prophesied against many countries and great kingdoms–of war and disaster and pestilence. 9 As for the prophet who prophesies of peace, when the word of the prophet comes to pass, the prophet will be known as one whom the LORD has truly sent.” 10 Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke off the prophet Jeremiah’s neck and broke it. 11 And Hananiah spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, “Thus says the LORD: Even so I will break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from the neck of all nations within the space of two full years.” And the prophet Jeremiah went his way. 12 Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, after Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying, 13 Go and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus says the LORD: You have broken the yokes of wood, but you have made in their place yokes of iron.

Laœni prorok Hananija

One godine, u poçetku vladanja Zedekije, Judina kralja, çetvrte godine, petoga mjeseca, rekao mi prorok Hananija, sin Azurov iz Gibeona, u Gospodinovu domu pred sveøenicima i svim narodom: 2 “Ovako govori Gospodin vojska, Bog Izraelov: ‘Slomio sam jaram babilonskoga kralja! 3 Joæ dvije godine i onda donosim natrag na ovo mjesto sve posuåe Gospodinova doma koje je Nebukadnezar, babilonski kralj, uzeo s ovoga mjesta i odnio u Babilon. 4 I Jehoniju, sina Jojakimova, Judina kralja, i sve zarobljenike Judine koji su doæli u Babilon, ja øu dovesti natrag na ovo mjesto, govori Gospodin, jer trgam jaram babilonskoga kralja.’ ” 5 A prorok Jeremija je odgovorio proroku Hananiji pred sveøenicima i pred svim narodom æto je stajao u Gospodinovu domu. 6 Prorok Jeremija je rekao: “Zaista, Gospodin neka to dade, neka Gospodin ispuni tvoju rijeç æto si je objavio! Neka vrati natrag posuåe Gospodinova doma i sve zarobljene iz Babilona na ovo mjesto! 7 Ali çuj ovu rijeç koju ja dovikujem u uæi tebi i svemu narodu! 8 Proroci, koji su bili prije mene i prije tebe od davnine, prorokovali su moønim zemljama i velikim kraljevstvima rat, glad i kugu. 9 Ali kad prorok proriçe sreøu, spoznat øe je tek kad se ispuni proroçka rijeç, da je Gospodin zaista poslao proroka.” 10 Onda uzeo prorok Hananija jaram s vrata proroka Jeremije i rastrgao ga; 11 Pritom je rekao Hananija pred svim narodom: “Ovako govori Gospodin: Isto tako trgam jaram Nebukadnezara, babilonskoga kralja, i roku od dvije godine na vratu svih naroda.” Prorok Jeremija je otiæao svojim putom. 12 Poæto je prorok Hananija bio rastrgao jaram na vratu proroka Jeremije, je doæla rijeç Gospodinova Jeremiji, govoreøi: 13 Idi i kaœi Hananiji: Ovako govori Gospodin: Slomio si jaram drveni, ali si mjesto njega napravio jaram œeljezni! 14 Jer ovako govori Gospodin vojska, Bog Izraelov: Œeljezni jaram stavljam oko vrata svim tim narodima; oni øe sluœiti Nebukadn-

This year you shall die, 17 I prorok Hananija je umro one godine, sedbecause you have taught rebellion against the LORD.’ moga mjeseca. ” 17 So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.

Now these are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the remainder of the elders who were carried away captive–to the priests, the prophets, and all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon. 2 (This happened after Jeconiah the king, the queen mother, the eunuchs, the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, the craftsmen, and the smiths had departed from Jerusalem.) 3 The letter was sent by the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan, and Gemariah the son of Hilkiah, whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent to Babylon, to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, saying, 4 Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, to all who were carried away captive, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem to Babylon: 5 Build houses and dwell in them; plant gardens and eat their fruit. 6 Take wives and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons and give your daughters to husbands, so that they may bear sons and daughters–that you may be increased there, and not diminished. 7 And seek the peace of the city where I have caused you to be carried away captive, and pray to the LORD for it; for in its peace you will have peace. 8 For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Do not let your prophets and your diviners who are in your midst deceive you, nor listen to your dreams which you cause to be dreamed. 9 For they prophesy falsely to you in My name; I have not sent them, says the LORD. 10 For thus says the LORD: After seventy years are completed at Babylon, I will visit you and perform my good word toward you, and cause you to return to this place. 11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. 12 Then you will call upon me and go and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 And you will seek me and find me, when you search for me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you, says the LORD, and I will bring you back from your captivity; I will gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you, says the LORD, and I will bring you to the place from which I cause you to be carried away captive. 15 Because you have said, “The LORD has raised up prophets for us in Babylon”– 16 therefore thus says the LORD concerning the king who sits on the throne of David, concerning all the people who dwell in this city, and concerning your brethren who have not gone out with you into captivity–

Pismo Jeremijino zarobljenicima u Babilonu

29

Ovo su rijeçi pisma koje je poslao prorok Jeremija iz Jeruzalema preostalim joæ starjeæinama zarobljenika, sveøenicima, prorocima i svemu narodu, koji je odveo Nebukadnezar iz Jeruzalema u Babilon. 2 To se dogodilo kad su otiæli iz Jeruzalema kralj Jehonija, kraljica majka, dvorani, glavari Judini i jeruzalemski, kovaçi i bravari. 3 Po Elasi, sinu Æafanovu, i Gemarji, sinu Hilkijinu, koje je poslao u Babilon Zedekija, kralj Judin, Nebukadnezaru, babilonskom kralju: 4 Ovako govori Gospodin vojska, Bog Izraelov, svim zarobljenicima koje sam dao odvesti iz Jeruzalema u Babilon. 5 Gradite kuøe i stanujte u njima! Sadite vrtove i jedite njihove plodove! 6 Uzimajte œene i imajte sinove i køeri! Uzimajte za svoje sinove œene i dajite svojim køerima muœeve da oni dobiju sinove i køeri! Mnoœite se ondje i ne umanjujte se! 7 Traœite blagostanje gradu u koji sam vas odveo i molite se za njega Gospodinu, jer blagostanje njegovo, vaæe je blagostanje. 8 Jer ovako govori Gospodin vojska, Bog Izraelov: Nemojte da vas zalude vaæi proroci koji su meåu vama i vaæi vraçari! Ne sluæajte sanjare svoje, koji sami govore da sanjaju! 9 Jer vam oni prorokuju laœi u Ime moje. Ja ih nisam poslao, govori Gospodin. 10 Jer ovako govori Gospodin: Kad se navræi punih sedamdeset godina, pohodit øu vas i izvræit øu na vama rijeç spasenja i vratit øu vas na ovo mjesto. 11 Jer ja znam namisli koje imam za vas, govori Gospodin, namisli su za mir, a ne na nesreøu, da vam dadem buduønost punu pouzdanja. 12 Onda øete me zazvati i iøi meni se pomoliti, i ja øu vas usliæati. 13 Traœit øete me i naøi øete me kad me potraœite svim svojim srcem. 14 I dat øu vam da me naåete, govori Gospodin. Okrenut øu vaæu sudbinu i skupit øu vas iz svih naroda i iz svih mjesta kamo sam vas prognao, govori Gospodin, i dovest øu vas natrag na mjesto odakle sam vas odveo u ropstvo. 15 Ali vi govorite: “Gospodin nam je podigao proroke u Babilonu.” 16 A Gospodin govori ovako o kralju, koji sjedi na prijestolju Davidovu i o svemu narodu koji joæ stoji u ovom gradu, o vaæoj braøi æto nisu otiæla s vama u ropstvo: 17 Ovako govori Gospodin vojska: Evo, pustit øu na njih maç, glad i kugu i uçinit øu ih kao loæe smokve æto su odviæe loæe da bi se mogle jesti. 18 Progonit øu ih maçem, glaåu i kugom i uçinit øu ih straæilom za sva kraljevstva zemaljska, kletvom, uœasom, ruglom i porugom kod svih

31

At the same time, says the LORD, I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people. 2 Thus says the LORD: The people who survived the sword found grace in the wilderness–Israel, when I went to give him rest. 3 The LORD has appeared of old to me, saying: Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you. 4 Again I will build you, and you shall be rebuilt, O virgin of Israel! You shall again be adorned with your tambourines, and shall go forth in the dances of those who rejoice. 5 You shall yet plant vines on the mountains of Samaria; the planters shall plant and eat them as ordinary food. 6 For there shall be a day when the watchmen will cry on Mount Ephraim, “Arise, and let us go up to Zion, to the LORD our God.” 7 For thus says the LORD: Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout among the chief of the nations; proclaim, give praise, and say, “O LORD , save your people, the remnant of Israel!” 8 Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the ends of the earth, among them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and the one who labors with child, together; a great throng shall return there. 9 They shall come with weeping, and with supplications I will lead them. I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters, in a straight way in which they shall not stumble; for I am a Father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn. 10 Hear the word of the LORD, O nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, “He who scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him as a shepherd does his flock.” 11 For the LORD has redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the hand of one stronger than he. 12 Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, streaming to the goodness of the LORD–for wheat and new wine and oil, for the young of the flock and the herd; their souls shall be like a well-watered garden, and they shall sorrow no more at all. 13 Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, and the young men and the old, together; for I will turn their mourning to joy, will comfort them, and make them rejoice rather than sorrow. 14 I will satiate the soul of the priests with abundance, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, says the LORD. 15 Thus says the LORD: “A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation and bitter weeping, Rachel weeping for her children, refusing to be comforted for her children, because they are no more.” 16 Thus says the LORD: “Refrain your voice from weeping, and your eyes from tears; for your work shall be rewarded, says the LORD, And they shall come back from the land of the enemy. 17 There is hope in your future, says the LORD, That your children shall come back to their own border. 18 I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself: “You have chastised me, and I was chastised, like an untrained bull; restore me, and I will return, for you are the LORD my God. 19 Surely, after my turning, I repented; and after I was instructed, I struck myself on the thigh; I was ashamed, yes, even humiliated, because I bore the reproach of my youth.”

U ono vrijeme, govori Gospodin— ja øu biti Bog svim plemenima Izraelovim i oni øe biti moj narod. 2 Ovako govori Gospodin: Milost je naæao u pustinji narod æto je utekao maçu. U svoje poçivaliæte otiæao je Izrael. 3 Iz daljine objavio mi se Gospodin, govoreøi: Ljubavlju vjeçnom ljubim te, zato sam ti tako dugo saçuvao milost. 4 Opet ju zidam, i bit øeæ sazidana, djevojko Izraelova! Opet øeæ se kititi bubnjevima, izlazit øeæ u veselom kolu! 5 Opet øeæ ti saditi vinograde na brdima Samarije; sadit øe ih poslenici i oni øe plod brati i jesti. 6 Jest, dolazi vrijeme kad øe vikati çuvar na gorama Efraimovim: “Ustanite, krenite na Sion Gospodinu, svojem Bogu!” 7 Jer ovako govori Gospodin: Pjevajte u radosti Jakovu, radujte se zbog glave naroda! Javljajte to, slavite i govorite: “Gospodin je izbavio svoj narod, ostatak Izraelov.” 8 Evo, ja ih dovodim opet iz zemlje sjeverne i s krajeva zemlje, meåu njima i slijepe i hrome, trudne i rodilje. U velikom mnoætvu dolaze kuøi. 9 Dolaze plaçuøi, ja ih pratim i tjeæim, vodim ih k potocima, ravnim putom gdje se ne spotiçu, jer sam otac Izraelu. Efraim je moj prvoroåeni sin. 10 Çujte, narodi, rijeç Gospodinovu! Objavite je na najdaljim otocima i recite: “Koji je razasuo Izraela, skuplja ga opet i çuva ga kao pastir svoje stado.” 11 Jer je Gospodin spasio Jakova, otkupio ga iz ruku jaçega od njega. 12 Dolaze i pjevaju na visini sionskoj. Sjaju od radosti zbog spasenja Gospodinova: zbog œita, zbog vina i ulja, zbog janjadi i teladi. Njihova je duæa kao vrt obilno navodnjen; neøe viæe trebati tuœiti. 13 Onda øe se veseliti djevojka u kolu, mladiø i starac zajedno, fer ja øu pretvoriti œalost njihovu u radost, nakon boli dajem im utjehu i veselje. 14 Razblaœujem duæu sveøenikovu pretilinom. Narod je moj nasiøen darovima mojim, govori Gospodin. 15 Ovako govori Gospodin: Çuj, jauk se çuje u Rami, gorko plakanje! Rahela oplakuje svoju djecu–neøe se utjeæiti–svoju djecu, jer nijedno ne œivi viæe. 16 Ovako govori Gospodin: Zabrani svojem glasu tugovanje, svojim oçima suze, jer øe tvojoj nevolji biti njezina plaøa, govori Gospodin. Oni se vraøaju kuøi iz zemlje neprijateljske. 17 Buduønost tvoja ima nadu, govori Gospodin. Djeca se tvoja vraøaju natrag u svoju zemlju. 18 Çujem zaista Efraima gdje tuguje: “Kaznio si me, primio sam kaznu kao pomamno govedo. Dovedi me kuøi, ja øu se obratiti, jer si ti Gospodin, moj Bog. 19 Otkada sam te ostavio, pokajao sam se za to. Kad sam to uvidio, udarao sam se u prsa svoja. Crvenim se i stidim se jer moram okajati sramotu mladosti svoje.” 20 Nije li Efraim moj sin ljubljeni, moje dijete predrago? Kad god mu se zaprijetim, moram ga se milo spomenuti. Zato za njega kuca moje srce; ja mu se moram smilovati, govori Gospodin.

Tako øu biti njihov Bog, i oni which they broke, though I was a husband to them, øe biti moj narod. 34 Oni se viæe neøe uçiti meåu sobom, uçiti says the LORD. 33 But this is the covenant that I will make with the jedan drugoga: “Spoznajte Gospodina!” jer me house of Israel: After those days, says the LORD, I will svi poznaju od najmanjega do najveøega, goput my law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; vori Gospodin, jer im opraætam njihovu krivnju i and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. grijeha se njihovih viæe ne sjeøam. 34 No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and 35 Ovako govori Gospodin, koji odreåuje every man his brother, saying, “Know the LORD,” for sunce za svjetlo po danu, a mjesec i zvijezde they all shall know me, from the least of them to the postavlja za svjetlo u noøi, koji udari more da greatest of them, says the LORD. “For I will forgive zabuçe valovi njegovi–Gospodin vojska Ime their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.” je njegovo: 35 Thus says the LORD, Who gives the sun for a light 36 Kako malo ove uredbe odstupaju od mene, by day, and the ordinances of the moon and the stars govori Gospodin, tako øe malo prestati potomfor a light by night, Who disturbs the sea, and its stvo Izraelovo biti narod preda mnom zauvijek. 37 Ovako govori Gospodin: Kako se malo waves roar (the LORD of hosts is his name): 36 If those ordinances depart from before me, says moœe nebo gore izmjeriti, i kako se malo mogu the LORD, Then the seed of Israel shall also cease temelji zemaljski dolje istraœiti, tako øu malo i ja odbaciti sve potomstvo Izraelovo za sve ono from being a nation before me forever.” 37 Thus says the LORD: “If heaven above can be æto su uçinili, govori Gospodin. measured, and the foundations of the earth 38 Jer evo, dolazi vrijeme, govori Gospodin, searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed kad øe se opet sazidati Gospodinu grad, od of Israel for all that they have done, says the LORD.

The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar. 2 For then the king of Babylon’s army besieged Jerusalem, and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the prison, which was in the king of Judah’s house. 3 For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, “Why do you prophesy and say, “Thus says the LORD: Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it; 4 and Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape from the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him face to face, and see him eye to eye; 5 then he shall lead Zedekiah to Babylon, and there he shall be until I visit him, says the LORD; though you fight with the Chaldeans, you shall not succeed?” 6 And Jeremiah said, The word of the LORD came to me, saying, 7 Behold, Hanameel the son of Shallum your uncle will come to you, saying, “Buy my field which is in Anathoth, for the right of redemption is yours to buy it.” 8 Then Hanameel my uncle’s son came to me in the court of the prison according to the word of the LORD, and said to me, “Please buy my field that is in Anathoth, which is in the country of Benjamin; for the right of inheritance is yours, and the redemption yours; buy it for yourself.” Then I knew that this was the word of the LORD. 9 So I bought the field from Hanameel, the son of my uncle who was in Anathoth, and weighed out to him the money–seventeen shekels of silver. 10 And I signed the deed and sealed it, took witnesses, and weighed the money in the balances. 11 So I took the purchase deed, both that which was sealed according to the law and custom, and that which was open; 12 and I gave the purchase deed to Baruch the son of Neriah, son of Mahseiah, in the presence of Hanameel my uncle’s son, and in the presence of the witnesses who signed the purchase deed, before all the Jews who sat in the court of the prison. 13 Then I charged Baruch before them, saying, 14 “Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: ‘Take these deeds, both this purchase deed which is sealed and this deed which is open, and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may last many days. 15 For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Houses and fields and vineyards shall be possessed again in this land.’ ” 16 Now when I had delivered the purchase deed to Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed to the LORD, saying: 17 “Ah, LORD God! Behold, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for you. 18 You show lovingkindness to thousands, and repay the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them–the Great, the Mighty God, whose name is the LORD of hosts. 19 You are great in counsel and mighty in work, for your eyes are open to all the ways of the sons of men, to give everyone according to his ways and according to the fruit of his doings. 20 You have set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, to this day, and in Israel and among other

Rijeç Gospodinova doæla je Jeremiji u desetoj godini Zedekije, Judina kralja, to jest, u osamnaestoj godini Nebukadnezarovoj. 2 Onda je opkoljavala vojska babilonskog kralja Jeruzalem i prorok je Jeremija bio zatvoren u straœarnici na dvoru Judina kralja. 3 Zedekija, kralj Judin, bio ga je zatvorio prekoravajuøi ga: “Zaæto si prorokovao: Ovako govori Gospodin: Evo, dajem ovaj grad u ruke babilonskom kralju; on øe ga osvojiti. 4 I Zedekija, kralj Judin, neøe uteøi ruci Kaldejaca, nego øe zacijelo biti predan u ruke babilonskom kralju i licem u lice s njim øe govoriti i oko u oko njega øe vidjeti. 5 Zedekiju øe odvesti u Babilon i tajno øe ostati dok ga ne pohodim, govori Gospodin. Ako se borite s Kaldejcima, neøete imati uspjeha.” 6 Jeremija je rekao ovako: Doæla mi je rijeç Gospodinova, govoreøi: 7 Evo, Hanamel, sluga tvojega strica Æaluma, doøi øe k tebi s molbom: “Kupi njivu moju u Anatotu, jer tebi pripada prekup po pravu otkupa.” 8 Onda je doæao k meni u straœarnicu, kako je Gospodin navijestio, Hanamel, sin mojega strica, i zamolio me: “Hajde kupi moju njivu u Anatotu u rodnom posjedu Benjaminovu, jer tebi pripada pravo posjeda po duœnosti otkupa; kupi je za sebe!” Onda sam razumio da je to bila rijeç Gospodinova. 9 I kupio sam njivu od Hanamela, sina strica svojega, u Anatotu i isplatio mu u novcu sedamnaest æekela srebra. 10 Napisao sam kupovni ugovor, zapeçatio ga, dao ga po svjedocima potvrditi i izmjerio novce na tezulji. 11 Onda sam uzeo kupovni ugovor, po pravu i zakonu zapeçaøeni, i otvoreni, 12 I predao sam kupovni ugovor Baruhu, sinu Nerije, sina Maasejina, pred Hanamelom, sinom strica svojega, i pred svjedocima, koji su potpisali kupovni ugovor, i pred svim Judejcima koji su se zadrœavali u straœarnici. 13 Pred njima sam dao Baruhu zapovijed, govoreøi: 14 “Ovako govori Gospodin vojska, Bog Izraelov: ‘Uzmi ove ugovore, ovaj zapeçaøeni kupovni ugovor i ovaj otvoreni, i stavio ih u zemljanu posudu da se saçuvaju za mnoge godine! 15 Jer ovako govori Gospodin vojska, Bog Izraelov: Opet øe se u ovoj zemlji kupovati kuøe, njive i vinogradi.’ ” 16 Otkako sam bio predao kupovni ugovor Baruhu, sinu Nerijinu, pomolio sam se Gospodinu: 17 “Ah, Gospodin Boœe! Ti si stvorio nebo i zemlju svojom veliko snagom; svojom rukom podignutom, i niæta nije tebi nemoguøe. 18 Tisuøama iskazujeæ milost, ali krivnju otaca vraøaæ u njedra njihovoj djeci, Boœe veliki, silni, koji si nazvan Gospodin vojska. 19 Velik si u savjetu, moøan u djelima.

Moreover the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah a second time, while he was still shut up in the court of the prison, saying, 2 “Thus says the LORD who made it, the LORD who formed it to establish it (the LORD is his name): 3 Call to me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know. 4 For thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city and the houses of the kings of Judah, which have been pulled down to fortify against the siege mounds and the sword: 5 They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but only to fill their places with the dead bodies of men whom I will slay in my anger and my fury, all for whose wickedness I have hidden my face from this city. 6 Behold, I will bring it health and healing; I will heal them and reveal to them the abundance of peace and truth. 7 And I will cause the captives of Judah and the captives of Israel to return, and will rebuild those places as at the first. 8 I will cleanse them from all their iniquity by which they have sinned against me, and I will pardon all their iniquities by which they have sinned and by which they have transgressed against me. 9 Then it shall be to me a name of joy, a praise, and an honor before all nations of the earth, who shall hear all the good that I do to them; they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and all the prosperity that I provide for it. 10 Thus says the LORD: Again there shall be heard in this place–of which you say, ‘It is desolate, without man and without beast’–in the cities of Judah, in the streets of Jerusalem that are desolate, without man and without inhabitant and without beast, 11 the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of those who will say: ‘Praise the LORD of hosts, for the LORD is good, for his mercy endures forever’–and of those who will bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the LORD. For I will cause the captives of the land to return as at the first, says the LORD. 12 Thus says the LORD of hosts: ‘In this place which is desolate, without man and without beast, and in all its cities, there shall again be a habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down. 13 In the cities of the mountains, in the cities of the lowland, in the cities of the South, in the land of Benjamin, in the places around Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, the flocks shall again pass under the hands of him who counts them,’ says the LORD. 14 Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, ‘that

Nadalje je doæla rijeç Gospodinova Jeremiji po drugi put dok se joæ nalazio zatvoren u straœarnici, govoreøi: 2 “Ovako govori Gospodin, koji je stvorio zemlju, sazdao ju i uzdrœava je–Gospodin je njegovo Ime: 3 Zazovi me i odgovorit øu ti i pokazat øu ti velike, nevjerojatne stvari za koje nisi znao! 4 Ovako govori Gospodin, Bog Izraelov, za kuøe ovoga grada, i za dvore Judinih kraljeva æto su bile sruæene, za utvråenje bedema protiv navale maça. 5 Oni dolaze da se bore s Kaldejcima, ali s uspjehom, da im mjesta napune mrtvim tjelesima ljudi koje sam pobio u œestokom svojem gnjevu, kad sam pred ovim gradom zastro svoje lice zbog sve njihove zloøe. 6 Zaista, ja øu im donijeti ozdravljenje i spasenje, ozdravit øu ih i spremit øu im puninu sreøe i mira. 7 Okrenut øu sudbinu Judinu i sudbinu Izraelovu i sazidat øu ih opet kao prije. 8 Oçistit øu ih od sve njihove krivnje koju su poçinili protiv mene i oprostit øu im sva njihova zlodjela kojima su mi sagrijeæili i kojima su mi se iznevjerili, 9 Jeruzalem øe biti milo ime, hvala i slava u svih naroda na zemlji koji çuju za sve dobro æto øu im iskazati; prestraæit øe se i uzdrhtati zbog svega dobra i sve sreøe æto øu im je dati. 10 Ovako govori Gospodin: Na ovom mjestu, za koje vi kaœete: ‘Opustjelo leœi, bez ljudi i stoke,’ u Judinim gradovima i po jeruzalemskim ulicama æto su sad opustjele, bez ljudi, bez stanovnika i bez stoke, opet øe se çuti 11 glas radosti i glas miline, poklik zaruçnikov i poklik zaruçnice, poklik onih koji govore: ‘Hvalite Gospodina vojska, jer je dobrostiv Gospodin, jer vjeçno traje njegova milost!’ i onih koji prinose œrtve zahvalne u Gospodinovu domu. Okrenut øu sudbinu zemlje onako kako je bilo prije, govori Gospodin. 12 Ovako govori Gospodin vojska: ‘Na ovom mjestu koje sad leœi opustjelo, bez ljudi i stoke, i u svim njegovim gradovima opet øe biti paæe za pastire koji puætaju da pasu njihova stada. 13 U gradovima po gorama, u gradovima po nizini, u gradovima juœne zemlje, u rodnom podruçju Benjaminovu, u okolici jeruzalemskoj i po Judinim gradovima opet øe prolaziti stada ispod ruke onoga koji ih broji’, govori Gospodin. 14 Doista dolazi vrijeme, govori Gospodin, kad

The word which came to Jeremiah from the L ORD , when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his army, all the kingdoms of the earth under his dominion, and all the people, fought against Jerusalem and all its cities, saying, 2 “Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: ‘Go and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah and tell him, Thus says the LORD: Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire. 3 And you shall not escape from his hand, but shall surely be taken and delivered into his hand; your eyes shall see the eyes of the king of Babylon, he shall speak with you face to face, and you shall go to Babylon.’ 4 Yet hear the word of the LORD, O Zedekiah king of Judah! Thus says the LORD concerning you: You shall not die by the sword. 5 But you shall die in peace; as in the ceremonies of your fathers, the former kings who were before you, so they shall burn incense for you and lament for you, saying, ‘Alas, LORD!’ For I have pronounced the word, says the LORD.” 6 Then Jeremiah the prophet spoke all these words to Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem, 7 when the king of Babylon’s army fought against Jerusalem and all the cities of Judah that were left,

Bog opominje Zedekiju

Rijeç Gospodinova doæla je Jeremiji kad su Nebukadnezar, babilonski kralj, i sva njegova vojska, i sva kraljevstva zemaljska æto su bila pod njim, i svi narodi vojevali protiv Jeruzalema i svih gradova njegovih: 2 “Ovako govori Gospodin, Bog Izraelov: ‘Idi govori Zedekiji, kralju Judinu, i kaœi mu: Ovako govori Gospodin: Evo, ja dajem taj grad u ruke babilonskom kralju i on øe ga spaliti ognjem. 3 Ti neøeæ uteøi njegovoj ruci, nego øeæ biti uhvaøen i predan vlasti njegovoj. Oko u oko vidjet øeæ babilonskoga kralja i licem u lice s njim øeæ govoriti i doøi øeæ u Babilon.’ 4 Ali çuj rijeç Gospodinovu, Zedekija, kralju Judin! Ovako govori Gospodin o tebi: Neøeæ poginuti od maça. 5 U miru øeæ umrijeti; i kao æto su palili mirise u çast tvojim oçevima, prijaænjim kraljevima koji su bili prije tebe, tako øe isto paliti tebi i naricat øe za tobom, ‘Jao, gospodaru!’ Ja sam izgovorio tu rijeç, govori Gospodin.” 6 Prorok Jeremija navijesti sve ove rijeçi kralju Judinu Zedekiji u Jeruzalemu, 7 dok je vojska babilonskoga kralja udarala na Jeruzalem i na sve Judine gradove koji su joæ preostali, naime, na Lakiæ i Azeku. Ovi su bili od

And besides, there were added to them many similar words.

Then King Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah. 2 But neither he nor his servants nor the people of the land gave heed to the words of the LORD which he spoke by the prophet Jeremiah. 3 And Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, “Pray now to the LORD our God for us.” 4 Now Jeremiah was coming and going among the people, for they had not yet put him in prison. 5 Then Pharaoh’s army came up from Egypt; and when the Chaldeans who were besieging Jerusalem heard news of them, they departed from Jerusalem. 6 And the word of the LORD came to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, 7 Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, Thus you shall say to the king of Judah, who sent you to me to

Utamniçenje Jeremijino

Namjesto Konije, sina Jojakimova, postao je kralj Zedekija, sin Josijin. Nebukadnezar, babilonski kralj, bio ga je postavio kraljem u Judinoj zemlji. 2 Ali ni on ni dvorani njegovi ni narod zemaljski nisu sluæali rijeçi Gospodinovih, koje je dao navjeæøivati preko proroka Jeremije. 3 Jednoga dana poslao kralj Zedekija Jehukala, sina Æelemjina, i sveøenika Sefaniju, sina Maasejina, k proroku Jeremiji i poruçio mu: “Pomoli se ipak za nas Gospodinu, naæem Bogu!” 4 Jeremija je onda joæ slobodan hodio meåu narodom; nisu ga joæ bili bacili u tamnicu. 5 Meåutim, pridolazila je vojska faraonova iz Egipta. Kad su to çuli Kaldejci, koji su opsjedali Jeruzalem, otiæli su od Jeruzalema. 6 Onda doæla je rijeç Gospodinova proroku Jeremiji, govoreøi: 7 Ovako govori Gospodin, Bog Izraelov: Kralju

And the king said to Jeremiah, “I 16 A kralj se Zedekija zakle Jeremiji nasamo: “Tako mi œivoga Gospodina koji nam je dao will ask you something.

And if I give ruke ljudima koji ti rade o glavi.” 17 Onda Jeremija je rekao Zedekiji: “Ovako goyou counsel, you will not listen to me.” 16 So Zedekiah the king swore secretly to Jeremiah, vori Gospodin vojska, Bog Izraelov: Ako odeæ saying, “As the LORD lives, who made our very souls, glavarima babilonskoga kralja, saçuvat øeæ I will not put you to death, nor will I give you into the svoj œivot i grad ovaj neøe izgorjeti ognjem; ti i kuøa tvoja œivjet øe ti. hand of these men who seek your life.” 17 Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, “Thus says the 18 Ako li ne odeæ glavarima babilonskoga LORD, the God of hosts, the God of Israel: ‘If you surely kralja, ovaj øe grad pasti u ruke Kaldejcima i surrender to the king of Babylon’s princes, then your spalit øe ga ognjem, i ti neøeæ uteøi rukama njisoul shall live; this city shall not be burned with fire, hovim.” 19 Kralj Zedekija je odgovorio Jeremiji: “Bojim and you and your house shall live. 18 But if you do not surrender to the king of Babylon’s se da me ne predaju Judejcima, koji su prebprinces, then this city shall be given into the hand of jegli Kaldejcima da mi se rugaju.” the Chaldeans; they shall burn it with fire, and you 20 Jeremija je odgovorio: “Neøe te predati.

And he told them according to all these words that the king had commanded. So they stopped speaking with him, for the conversation had not been heard. 28 Now Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison until the day that Jerusalem was taken. And he was there when Jerusalem was taken.

In the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his army came against Jerusalem, and besieged it. 2 In the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, on the ninth day of the month, the city was penetrated. 3 Then all the princes of the king of Babylon came in and sat in the Middle Gate: Nergal-Sharezer, Samgar-Nebo, Sarsechim, Rabsaris, Nergal-Sarezer, Rabmag, with the rest of the princes of the king of Babylon. 4 So it was, when Zedekiah the king of Judah and all the men of war saw them, that they fled and went out of the city by night, by way of the king’s garden, by the gate between the two walls. And he went out by way of the plain. 5 But the Chaldean army pursued them and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho. And when they had captured him, they brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, to Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he pronounced judgment on him. 6 Then the king of Babylon killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes in Riblah; the king of Babylon also killed all the nobles of Judah. 7 Moreover he put out Zedekiah’s eyes, and bound him with bronze fetters to carry him off to Babylon. 8 And the Chaldeans burned the king’s house and the houses of the people with fire, and broke down the walls of Jerusalem. 9 Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive to Babylon the remnant of the people who remained in the city and those who defected to him, with the rest of the people who remained. 10 But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left in the land of Judah the poor people, who had nothing, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time. 11 Now Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon gave charge concerning Jeremiah to Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, saying, 12 “Take him and look after him, and do him no harm; but do to him just as he says to you.” 13 So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard sent Nebushasban, Rabsaris, Nergal-Sharezer, Rabmag, and all the king of Babylon’s chief officers; 14 then they sent someone to take Jeremiah from the court of the prison, and committed him to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, that he

U devetoj godini Judina kralja Zedekije, u desetom mjesecu, doæao Nebukadnezar, babilonski kralj, sa svom svojom vojskom protiv Jeruzalema i opkolio ga. 2 U jedanaestoj godini Zedekijinoj, u çetvrtom mjesecu, devetoga dana toga mjeseca, bio je provaljen zid gradski. 3 Onda su uæli svi glavari babilonskoga kralja i stali kod Srednjih vrata: Nergal-Æarezer, Samgar-Nebo, Sarsekim, Rab-saris, starjeæina nad dvoranima, Nergal Æarezer, Rabmag, starjeæina nad vraçima, i svi ostali glavari babilonskoga kralja. 4 Kad su ih vidjeli Zedekija, kralj Judin i svi ratnici, pobjegli su i ostavili noøu grad putom prema kraljevu vrtu na vrata izmeåu dva zida. On sam okrenuo prema jordanskoj ravnici . 5 Ali su ih çete kaldejske gonile i stigle Zedekiju u polju jerihonskom. Uhvatili su ga i doveli ga k Nebukadnezaru, babilonskom kralju, u Riblu u hamatskom podruçju, i on mu izrekao presudu. 6 Babilonski kralj dao je u Ribli sinove Zedekijine zaklati na njegove oçi; isto tako dao babilonski kralj pogubiti sve ugledne Judejce. 7 A Zedekiju je oslijepio, stavio ga u mjedene verige i dao ga odvesti u Babilon. 8 Kaldejci su zapalili kraljevski dvor i kuøe naroda i raskopali su sve zidove jeruzalemske. 9 Ostatak puçanstva æto je joæ bio ostao u gradu i prebjegao æto su bili prebjegli k njima, posljednji ostatak naroda, dao je Nebuzaradan, zapovjednik tjelesne straœe, odvesti u Babilon u ropstvo. 10 Od malih ljudi, koji nisu niæta posjedovali, ostavio je neke u Judinoj zemlji Nebuzaradan, zapovjednik tjelesne straœe, i dao im onaj dan vinograde i njive. 11 Za Jeremiju je zapovjedio Nebukadnezar, babilonski kralj, Nebuzaradanu, zapovjedniku tjelesne straœe, govoreøi: 12 “Uzmi ga, brini se za njega i ne çini mu niæta zlo, postupaj s njim po œeljama njegovim!” 13 I Nebuzaradan, zapovjednik tjelesne straœe, poslao ondje starjeæinu nad dvoranima Nebuæasbana, starjeæinu nad vraçima NergalÆarezera i sve glavare babilonskoga kralja, 14 oni su poslali neke da izvedu Jeremiju iz straœarnice i predali su ga Gedaliji, sinu Ahikama, sina Æafanova, da ga slobodna otpusti kuøi, i tako je on ostao meåu narodom.

So he dwelt among the peo- 15 A Jeremiji, kad je joæ bio zatvoren u straœarnici, doæla je rijeç Gospodinova, govoreøi: ple. 15 Now the word of the LORD had come to Jeremiah 16 “Idi kaœi Kuæitu Abed-Meleku: ‘Ovako govori while he was shut up in the court of the prison, say- Gospodin vojska, Bog Izraelov: Sada puætam da se ispuni rijeç moja tomu gradu na nesreøu, ing, 16 “Go and speak to Ebed-Melech the Ethiopian, a ne na spasenje.

The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD after Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had let him go from Ramah, when he had taken him bound in chains among all who were carried away captive from Jerusalem and Judah, who were carried away captive to Babylon. 2 And the captain of the guard took Jeremiah and said to him: “The LORD your God has pronounced this doom on this place. 3 Now the LORD has brought it, and has done just as he said. Because you people have sinned against the LORD, and not obeyed his voice, therefore this thing has come upon you. 4 And now look, I free you this day from the chains that were on your hand. If it seems good to you to come with me to Babylon, come, and I will look after you. But if it seems wrong for you to come with me to Babylon, remain here. See, all the land is before you; wherever it seems good and convenient for you to go, go there. 5 Now while Jeremiah had not yet gone back, Nebuzaradan said, “Go back to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon has made governor over the cities of Judah, and dwell with him among the people. Or go wherever it seems convenient for you to go.” So the captain of the guard gave him rations and a gift and let him go. 6 Then Jeremiah went to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, to Mizpah, and dwelt with him among the people who were left in the land. 7 Now when all the captains of the armies who were in the fields, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam governor in the land, and had committed to him men, women, children, and the poorest of the land who had not been carried away captive to Babylon, 8 then they came to Gedaliah at Mizpah–Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, Johanan and Jonathan the sons of Kareah, Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth, the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah the son of a Maachathite, they and their men. 9 And Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, took an oath before them and their men, saying, “Do not be afraid to serve the Chaldeans. Dwell in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you. 10 As for me, I will indeed dwell at Mizpah and serve the Chaldeans who come to us. But you, gather wine and summer fruit and oil, put them in your vessels, and dwell in your cities that you have taken.” 11 Likewise, when all the Jews who were in Moab, among the Ammonites, in Edom, and who were in all the countries, heard that the king of Babylon had left

Povratak Jeremije k namjesniku Gedaliji

Rijeç Gospodinova doæla je Jeremiji, govoreøi, otkako ga je Nebuzaradan, zapovjednik tjelesne straœe, bio pustio na slobodu u Rami, kamo ga je dao dovesti. Onda je joæ bio kao zarobljenik u okovima meåu svim onima koji su trebali biti odvedeni iz Jeruzalema i Jude u Babilon. 2 Zapovjednik tjelesne straœe dao je Jeremiju dovesti i rekao mu: “Gospodin, tvoj Bog, zaprijetio je ovomu mjestu tom nesreøom. 3 Sad je Gospodin nastupio i prijetnju je svoju ispunio, jer ste grijeæili protiv Gospodina i niste sluæali njegova glasa, zato vas je snaælo ovo. 4 I evo, ja sada uzimam okove s tvojih ruku. Ako ti je volja poøi sa mnom u Babilon, doåi i ja øu se brinuti za te. Ako li ti nije volja poøi sa mnom u Babilon, a ti nemoj! Evo, sva ti je zemlja otvorena, idi gdje ti se çini dobro i pravo! 5 Prije nego mu je onaj odgovorio, Nebuzaradan je rekao: “Vrati se natrag Gedaliji, sinu Ahikama, sina Æafanova, koga je postavio babilonski kralj nad Judinim gradovima, i ostani kod njega meåu narodom, ili idi kamo ti je drago!” I zapovjednik tjelesne straœe dao mu hrane i darova i otpustio ga. 6 Tako doæao Jeremija Gedaliji, sinu Ahikamovu, u Mispu i ostao ondje kod njega meåu narodom koji je ostao u zemlji. 7 Kad su vojni zapovjednici, koji su se joæ zadrœavali sa svojim ljudima u zemlji, doznali da je babilonski kralj postavio Gedaliju, sina Ahikamova, nad zemljom i da je podvrgao ljude, œene i djecu i male ljude u zemlji, koji nisu bili odvedeni u Babilon, 8 doæli su sa svojim ljudima Gedaliji u Mispu, naime, Iæmael, sin Netanijin, Johanan i Jonatan, sinovi Kareahovi, Seraja, sin Tanhumetov, sinovi Efaja, Netofatejac, i Jaazanija, Maakatejac. 9 Gedalija, sin Ahikama, sina Æafanova, zakle se njima i ljudima njihovim i rekao im: “Ne bojte se sluœbe Kaldejcima, ostanite u zemlji i budite podloœni babilonskom kralju, i onda øe vam biti dobro! 10 A ja sam ostajem ovdje u Mispi kao namjesnik kod Kaldejaca, koji øe dolaziti k nama. A vi berite groœåe, voøe i ulje i stavljajte ih u svoje posude i ostanite u gradovima svojim æto ste ih zaposjeli!” 11 I svi Judejci, koji su bili u Moabu, kod Amonaca, u Edomu ili inaçe u kojoj zemlji, çuli su da je babilonski kralj ostavio jedan ostatak Judejaca i postavio nad njima Gedaliju, sina Ahikama, sina Æafanova.

Nitko to neøe doznati. Zaæto da te to Gedaliah in Mizpah, saying, “Let me go, please, ubije i da se opet razaspu svi Judejci koji su se and I will kill Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and no skupili oko tebe i da tako propadne ostatak Juone will know it. Why should he murder you, so that din?” all the Jews who are gathered to you would be scat- 16 Ali Gedalija, sin Ahikamov, je odgovorio Johananu, sinu Kareahovu: “Ne çini to, jer nije istered, and the remnant in Judah perish?” 16 But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam said to Johanan tina æto kaœeæ za Iæmaela.” the son of Kareah, “You shall not do this thing, for you speak falsely concerning Ishmael.”

41

Now it happened in the seventh month that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the royal family and of the officers of the king, came with ten men to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, at Mizpah. And there they ate bread together in Mizpah. 2 Then Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and the ten men who were with him, arose and struck Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, with the sword, and killed him whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the land. 3 Ishmael also struck down all the Jews who were with him, that is, with Gedaliah at Mizpah, and the Chaldeans who were found there, the men of war. 4 And it happened, on the second day after he had killed Gedaliah, when as yet no one knew it, 5 that certain men came from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, eighty men with their beards shaved and their clothes torn, having cut themselves, with offerings and incense in their hand, to bring them to the house of the LORD. 6 Now Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went out from Mizpah to meet them, weeping as he went along; and it happened as he met them that he said to them, “Come to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam!” 7 So it was, when they came into the midst of the city, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah killed them and cast them into the midst of a pit, he and the men who were with him. 8 But ten men were found among them who said to Ishmael, “Do not kill us, for we have treasures of wheat, barley, oil, and honey in the field.” So he desisted and did not kill them among their brethren. 9 Now the pit into which Ishmael had cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he had slain, because of Gedaliah, was the same one Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel. Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with the slain. 10 Then Ishmael carried away captive all the rest of the people who were in Mizpah, the king’s daughters and all the people who remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had committed to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam. And Ishmael the son of Nethaniah carried them away captive and departed to go over to the Ammonites. 11 But when Johanan the son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces that were with him heard of all the evil that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had done, 12 they took all the men and went to fight with Ishmael

Umorstvo Gedalijino

Dogodilo se u sedmom mjesecu doæao je Iæmael, sin Netanije, sina Eliæama, i kraljevskog roda, i kraljevi velikaæi sa deset ljudi Gedaliji, sinu Ahikamovu u Mispu. Dok su ondje u Mispi zajedno jeli, 2 ustao je Iæmael, sin Netanijin, sa deset ljudi koji su bili s njim. Oni su ubili maçem Gedaliju, sina Ahikama, sina Æafanova. Tako on ubi onoga, koga je postavio babilonski kralj nad zemljom. 3 I sve Judejce koji su bili kod Gedalije i Kaldejce koji su se nalazili ondje kao ratnici–dao je pobiti Iæmael. 4 Drugi dan iza umorstva Gedalijina, kad joæ nitko nije znao za to, 5 doæli su ljudi iz Æekema, Sila i Samarije, osamdeset na broj, obrijane brade, razdrtih haljina i sa urezanim znakovima œalosti, sa œrtvenim darovima i kadom u svojim rukama da ih prinesu u Gospodinovu domu. 6 Onda im Iæmael, sin Netanijin, plaçuøi iziæao u susret iz Mispe i kad se susreo s njima, pozvao ih: “Doåite Gedaliji, sinu Ahikamovu!” 7 A kada su bili doæli u usred grada, poklao ih Iæmael, sin Netanijin, i pobaca ih u jamu, on i ljudi koji su bili s njim. 8 Meåu njima naælo se deset ljudi koji su rekli Iæmaelu: “Ne ubijaj nas, mi imamo u polju skrivenu zalihu pæenice, jeçma, ulja i meda.” Onda je odustao od toga, da pobije njih i njihovu braøu. 9 Jama u koju pobaca Iæmael tjelesa ljudi koje je pobio, bila je velika jama, ona koju je dao napraviti kralj Asa protiv Baaæe, kralja Izraelova. Iæmael sin Netanijin, napunio ju pobijenim ljudima. 10 Potom je odveo Iæmael sav ostatak puçanstva iz Mispe, køeri kraljeve i sav narod æto je ostao u Mispi, nad kojim je postavio Nebuzaradan, zapovjednik tjelesne straœe, Gedaliju, sina Ahikamova. Iæmael, sin Netanijin, povede ih sobom i diœe se da prijeåe k Amoncima. 11 Kad su Johanan, sin Kareahov i svi zapovjednici vojske koji su bili s njim doznali za to zlo koje je poçinio Iæmael, sin Netanijin, 12 uzeli su sve ljude sobom i krenuli da se bore s Iæmaelom, sinom Netanijinim. Naæli su ga kod velike vode u Gibeonu.

Then all the captains of the forces, Johanan the son of Kareah, Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people, from the least to the greatest, came near 2 and said to Jeremiah the prophet, “Please, let our petition be acceptable to you, and pray for us to the LORD your God, for all this remnant (since we are left but a few of many, as you can see), 3 that the LORD your God may show us the way in which we should walk and the thing we should do.” 4 Then Jeremiah the prophet said to them, “I have heard. Indeed, I will pray to the LORD your God according to your words, and it shall be, that whatever the LORD answers you, I will declare it to you. I will keep nothing back from you.” 5 Then they said to Jeremiah, “Let the LORD be a true and faithful witness between us, if we do not do according to everything which the LORD your God sends us by you. 6 Whether it is pleasing or displeasing, we will obey the voice of the LORD our God to whom we send you, that it may be well with us when we obey the voice of the LORD our God.” 7 And it happened after ten days that the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah. 8 Then he called Johanan the son of Kareah, all the captains of the forces which were with him, and all the people from the least even to the greatest, 9 and said to them, “Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to present your petition before him: 10 If you will still abide in this land, then I will build you and not pull you down, and I will plant you and not pluck you up. For I relent concerning the disaster that I have brought upon you. 11 Do not be afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom you are afraid; do not be afraid of him, says the LORD, for I am with you, to save you and deliver you from his hand. 12 And I will show you mercy, that he may have mercy on you and cause you to return to your own land. 13 But if you say, ‘We will not dwell in this land,’ disobeying the voice of the LORD your God, 14 saying, ‘No, but we will go to the land of Egypt where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the

Svi zapovjednici vojske i Johanan, sin Kareahov, i Jaazanija, sin Hoæajin, i sav narod, malo i veliko doæli su zajedno, 2 i rekli su proroku Jeremiji: “Daj posluæaj naæu molbu i pomoli se za nas Gospodinu, svojem Bogu, za sav ovaj ostatak, jer nas je ostalo samo malo od mnogih, kao æto nas sam ovdje vidiæ. 3 Zato neka nam Gospodin, tvoj Bog, pokaœe put kojim da krenemo i kako da postupamo.” 4 Prorok Jeremija im odgovorio: “Dobro, po œelji vaæoj pomolit øu se Gospodinu, vaæem Bogu, i odluku koju vam poæalje Gospodin, reøi øu vam, neøu vam zatajiti ni rijeçi.” 5 Oni su uvjeravali Jeremiju: “Gospodin neka je istinit i pouzdan svjedok protiv nas ako ne postupamo posve po odluci æto nam je preko tebe poæalje Gospodin, tvoj Bog! 6 Bilo æto dobro ili zlo, posluæat øemo glas Gospodina, svojega Boga, komu te æaljemo, da nam bude dobro. Mi øemo zacijelo posluæati glas Gospodina, svojega Boga.” 7 Poslije deset dana doæla je rijeç Gospodinova Jeremiji, govoreøi. 8 On sazvao Johanana, sina Kareahova, i sve zapovjednike vojske koji su bili s njima, i sav narod, veliko i malo, 9 I rekao im: “Ovako govori Gospodin, Bog Izraelov, komu ste me poslali da iznesem pred njega vaæu molbu: 10 Ako ostanete mirni u ovoj zemlji, sazidat øu vas, a ne razoriti, zasadit øu vas, a ne iæçupati, jer mi je œao zbog nesreøe koju sam vam uçinio. 11 Ne bojte se babilonskoga kralja, koga se straæite, ne bojte ga se, govori Gospodin, jer sam ja s vama da vam pomognem i da vas izbavim iz njegove ruke. 12 Uçinit øu vam da naåete milosråe, da se on milostivo zauzme za vas i da vam dopusti stanovati u vaæoj zemlji! 13 Ako li govorite: ‘Neøemo ostati u toj zemlji’ i ne posluæate glasa Gospodina, svojega Boga, 14 nego govorite: ‘Ne, mi øemo poøi u Egipat da viæe ne doœivimo rat, da viæe ne çujemo glas trube i ne moramo biti gladni kruha, i ondje øemo se naseliti,’

Now it happened, when Jeremiah had stopped speaking to all the people all the words of the LORD their God, for which the LORD their God had sent him to them, all these words, 2 that Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men spoke, saying to Jeremiah, “You speak falsely! The LORD our God has not sent you to say, ‘Do not go to Egypt to sojourn there.’ 3 But Baruch the son of Neriah has set you against us, to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they may put us to death or carry us away captive to Babylon.” 4 So Johanan the son of Kareah, all the captains of the forces, and all the people would not obey the voice of the LORD, to remain in the land of Judah. 5 But Johanan the son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces took all the remnant of Judah who had returned to dwell in the land of Judah, from all nations where they had been driven– 6 men, women, children, the king’s daughters, and every person whom Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had left with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, and Jeremiah the prophet and Baruch the son of Neriah. 7 So they went to the land of Egypt, for they did not obey the voice of the LORD. And they went as far as Tahpanhes. 8 Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying, 9 “Take large stones in your hand, and hide them in the sight of the men of Judah, in the clay in the brick courtyard which is at the entrance to Pharaoh’s house in Tahpanhes; 10 and say to them, ‘Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will send and bring Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant,

Dogodilo se kad je Jeremija dovræio govoriti svemu narodu sve rijeçi Gospodinove, Boga njihova, æto je Gospodin, njihov Bog poslao po njemu, sve rijeçi, 2 onda Azarija, sin Hoæajin, i Johanan sin Kareahov, i svi ostali neposluæni ljudi rekli su Jeremiji: “Ti govoriæ laœi, Gospodin, naæ Bog, nije te poslao s naputkom: ‘Ne idite u Egipat da se naselite ondje.’ 3 Nego Baruh, sin Nerijin, podgovorio te je protiv nas da nas preda u ruke Kaldejcima, da nas pogube, ili da nas odvedu u Babilon u progonstvo.” 4 Johanan, sin Kareahov, i svi zapovjednici vojske i sav narod nisu posluæali naputka Gospodinova, da ostanu u Judinoj zemlji. 5 Nego Johanan, sin Kareahov, i svi zapovjednici vojske uzeli su sav ostatak Judin, koji se bio vratio iz svih naroda i kamo su bili razasuti, da ostanu u Judinoj zemlji: 6 ljude, œene i djecu, køeri kraljeve i sve druge ljude koje je ostavio Nebuzaradan, zapovjednik tjelesne straœe, i od Gedalije, sina Ahikamova, sina Æafanova, i proroka Jeremiju i Baruha, sina Nerijina. 7 Oni su otiæli u Egipat, a nisu posluæali naputka Gospodinova, pa su doæli u Tafnis. 8 U Tafnisu doæla je rijeç Gospodinova Jeremiji, govoreøi: 9 “Donesi velikoga kamenja i zakopaj ga, pred Judejcima, u tlo od opeke na ulazu kuøe faraonove u Tafnisu, 10 i kaœi im: ‘Ovako govori Gospodin vojska, Bog Izraelov: Evo, ja øu uçiniti da doåe moj sluga Nebukadnezar, babilonski kralj, i da stavi svoje prijestolje na ovo kamenje æto si ga zakopao. On øe nad njim razapeti nebnicu svoju.

The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews who dwell in the land of Egypt, who dwell at Migdol, at Tahpanhes, at Noph, and in the country of Pathros, saying, 2 “Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: ‘You have seen all the calamity that I have brought on Jerusalem and on all the cities of Judah; and behold, this day they are a desolation, and no one dwells in them, 3 because of their wickedness which they have committed to provoke me to anger, in that they went to burn incense and to serve other gods whom they did not know, they nor you nor your fathers.’ 4 However I have sent to you all my servants the prophets, rising early and sending them, saying, ‘Oh, do not do this abominable thing that I hate!’ 5 But they did not listen or incline their ear to turn from their wickedness, to burn no incense to other gods. 6 So my fury and my anger were poured out and kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they are wasted and desolate, as it is this day. 7 Now therefore, thus says the LORD, the God of hosts, the God of Israel: Why do you commit this great evil against yourselves, to cut off from you man and woman, child and infant, out of Judah, leaving none to remain, 8 in that you provoke me to wrath with the works of your hands, burning incense to other gods in the land of Egypt where you have gone to dwell, that you may cut yourselves off and be a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth? 9 Have you forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, the wickedness of the kings of Judah, the wickedness of their wives, your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives, which they committed in the land of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? 10 They have not been humbled, to this day, nor have they feared; they have not walked in my law or in my statutes that I set before you and your fathers.’ 11 Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: ‘Behold, I will set my face against you for catastrophe and for cutting off all Judah. 12 And I will take the remnant of Judah who have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, and they shall all be consumed and fall in the land of Egypt. They shall be consumed by the sword and by famine. They shall die, from the least to the greatest, by the sword and by famine; and they shall be an oath and an astonishment and a curse and a reproach! 13 For I will punish those who dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence, 14 so that none of the remnant of Judah who have

Rijeç Gospodinova doæla je Jeremiji za sve Judejce koji su stanovali u Egiptu, koji su se bili naselili u Migdolu, u Tafnisu u Memfisu i u zemlji Patrosu: 2 “Ovako govori Gospodin vojska, Bog Izraelov: ‘Vi ste sami vidjeli svu nesreøu koju sam pustio da doåe na Jeruzalem i na sve Judine gradove. Evo, do danas su opustoæeni i nitko ne prebiva u njima, 3 zbog njihove zloøe, kojom su me œalostili iduøi ondje i kadeøi i sluœeøi drugim bogovima, koje nisu znali ni oni, ni vi, ni vaæi oçevi.’ 4 Ja sam bio ipak neprestano slao k vama sve svoje sluge, proroke, da opominju: ‘Ne çinite tu grozotu koju ja mrzim!’ 5 Ali nisu posluæali i nisu mi prignuli svojega uha da bi se odvratili od svoje zloøe i viæe ne kadili drugim bogovima. 6 Tako se izlila moja srdœba i moj gnjev i raspali se u Judinim gradovima i po jeruzalemskim ulicama. Postali su ruæevine i pustoæ, kao æto su joæ i dan danaænji. 7 A sada ovako govori Gospodin Bog vojska, Bog Izraelov: “Zaæto sami sebi nanosite tako veliku nesreøu? Vi uniætavate sebe, çovjeka i œenu, dijete i nejaçe iz Jude, tako da ne ostane viæe u vas ostatka. 8 Draœite me djelima svojih ruku kadeøi drugim bogovima u Egiptu, kamo ste otiæli da se naselite. Tako se sami uniætavate i postajete kletva i poruga svim narodima na zemlji. 9 Jeste li zaboravili zlodjela svojih otaca i zlodjela Judinih kraljeva, zlodjela njegovih glavara, svoja zlodjela i zlodjela svojih œena koja su poçinili u Judinoj zemlji i po jeruzalemskim ulicama? 10 Ne dolaze k sebi do danas, ne boje se i ne hode po mojem zakonu i mojim propisima æto sam ih propisao vama i vaæim oçevima.’ 11 Zato govori Gospodin vojska, Bog Izraelov: ‘Evo, ja upravljam svoje lice prema vama na nesreøu da iskorijenim sve Judejce. 12 Pomorit øu ostatak Judin, koji se okrenuo k Egiptu i otiæao ondje i naselio se ondje. Svi øe biti utamanjeni u Egiptu, od maça øe pasti, od gladi poginuti, od najmanjega do najveøega. Izginut øe od maça i gladi i bit øe kletva i uœas, podsmijeh i poruga. 13 Pohodit øu one koji su se nastanili u egipatskoj zemlji, kao æto sam pohodio Jeruzalem maçem, glaåu i kugom. 14 Ni jedan od ostatka Judina koji su doæli u Egipat, da se nastane ondje, neøe pobjeøi ili umaknuti i vratiti se u zemlju Judinu, makar çeznuli za povratkom, da opet stanuju ondje.

45

The word that Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Baruch the son of Neriah, when he had written these words in a book at the instruction of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying, 2 “Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, to you, O Baruch: 3 You said, ‘Woe is me now! For the LORD has added grief to my sorrow. I fainted in my sighing, and I find no rest.’ 4 Thus you shall say to him, ‘Thus says the LORD: Behold, what I have built I will break down, and what I have planted I will pluck up, that is, this whole land. 5 And do you seek great things for yourself? Do not seek them; for behold, I will bring adversity on all flesh, says the LORD. But I will give your life to you as a prize in all places, wherever you go.’ ”

46

The word of the LORD which came to Jeremiah the prophet against the nations. 2 Against Egypt. Concerning the army of Pharaoh Necho, king of Egypt, which was by the River Euphrates in Carchemish, and which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon defeated in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah: 3 Order the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle! 4 Harness the horses, and mount up, you horsemen! Stand forth with your helmets, polish the spears, put on the armor! 5 Why have I seen them dismayed and turned back? Their mighty ones are beaten down; They have speedily fled, And did not look back, For fear was all around, says the LORD. 6 Do not let the swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape; they will stumble and fall toward the north, by the River Euphrates. 7 Who is this coming up like a flood, whose waters move like the rivers? 8 Egypt rises up like a flood, and its waters move like the rivers; and he says, I will go up and cover the earth, I will destroy the city and its inhabitants. 9 Come up, O horses, and rage, O chariots! And let the mighty men come forth: The Ethiopians and the Libyans who handle the shield, and the Lydians who handle and bend the bow. 10 For this is the day of the LORD God of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge himself on his adversaries. The sword shall devour; It shall be satiated and made drunk with their blood; for the LORD God of hosts has a sacrifice in the north country by the River Euphrates. 11 Go up to Gilead and take balm, O virgin, the daughter of Egypt; In vain you will use many medicines; you shall not be cured. 12 The nations have heard of your shame, and your cry has filled the land; for the mighty man has stumbled against the mighty; they both have fallen together. 13 The word that the LORD spoke to Jeremiah the prophet, how Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon would come and strike the land of Egypt. 14 Declare in Egypt, and proclaim in Migdol; Proclaim in Noph and in Tahpanhes; say, “Stand fast and prepare yourselves, for the sword devours all around

Rijeç koju prorok Jeremija upravio Baruhu, sinu Nerijinu, kad je bio napisao u knjigu ove govore onako kako ih je govorio Jeremija, u çetvrtoj godini Jojakima, sina Josijina, Judina kralja, govoreøi: 2 “Ovako govori Gospodin, Bog Izraelov, o tebi Baruh: 3 Rekao si: ‘Teæko meni, Gospodin slaœe na mene brigu na brigu! Umoran sam od uzdisanja i ne nalazim mira.’ 4 Kaœi mu ovo: ‘Ovako govori Gospodin: Æto sam sagradio, razgraåujem! Æto sam zasadio, iskorijenjujem, i to vrijedi za svu zemlju. 5 Æto øeæ traœiti za sebe velike stvari?

Proroçanstvo protiv Egipta

Rijeç Gospodinova doæla je proroku Jeremiji protiv neznaboœaçkih naroda: 2 O Egiptu, protiv vojske faraona Neka, kralja galilejskog, koja je stajala kod Karkemiæa na Eufratu, i koju je potukao Nebukadnezar, babilonski kralj, u çetvrtoj godini Jojakima, sina Josijina, kraja Judina: 3 Pripravite ætitove i oklope, i idite u boj! 4 Upregnite konje; popnite se, vozaçi; izaåite s kacigom; zaoætrite koplja; odjenite oklope! 5 Æto vidim? Oni se boje, uzmiçu. Junaci su njihovi klonuli duhom, bjeœe glavom bez obzira, strah naokolo, govori Gospodin. 6 Ni najbrœi nije pobjegao, ni junak izmaknuo. Na sjeveru, na obali Eufrata svaljuju se i padaju. 7 Tko se to diœe kao Rijeka? Çije to vode æume kao rijeke? 8 Egipat se diœe kao Rijeka! Vode njegove æume kao rijeke! Govori: Idem gore, poplavit øu zemlju, uniætit øu gradove i stanovnike njihove. 9 Naprijed, konji! Navalite kola! Izaåite, junaci, Kuæ i Put, vi ætitonoæe, vi Ludijci, vi strijelci! 10 Dan je Gospodina, Gospodina vojska, dan osvete, da se osveti svojom neprijateljima. Njegov øe ih maç proœdrijeti i nasitit øe se, napit øe se krvi njihove. Bojnu svetkovinu svetkuje Gospodin, Gospodin vojska, u zemlji sjevernoj na rijeci Eufratu. 11 Uzaåi u Gilead, uzmi balzama, djevojko, køeri egipatska! Zaludu traœiæ mnoge lijekove: tebi nema ozdravljenja. 12 Narodi su çuli za tvoju sramotu. Vike tvoje puna je zemlja, jer je junak pao na junaka, leœe jedan do drugoga. 13 Ovo je rijeç koju je rekao Gospodin proroku Jeremiji o pohodu koji je poduzeo Nebukadnezar, babilonski kralj, da uniæti egipatsku zemlju: 14 Javite u Egiptu, oglasite u Migdolu, obznanite u Memfisu i Tafnisu! Recite: “Postavi se i spremi se! Veø oko tebe proœdire maç.” 15 zaæto su junaci tvoji sruæeni; zar se nisu mogli oduprijeti? Jest, Gospodin ih je poruæio. 16 Uçinio je da su pali vrlo mnogi.

For behold, I will save you from afar, and your offspring from the land of their captivity; Jacob shall return, have rest and be at ease; No one shall make him afraid. 28 Do not fear, O Jacob my servant, says the LORD, For I am with you; For I will make a complete end of all the nations to which I have driven you, but I will not make a complete end of you. I will rightly correct you, for I will not leave you wholly unpunished.

The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Philistines, before Pharaoh attacked Gaza. 2 Thus says the LORD: Behold, waters rise out of the north, and shall be an overflowing flood; They shall overflow the land and all that is in it, the city and those who dwell within; then the men shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall wail. 3 At the noise of the stamping hooves of his strong horses, at the rushing of his chariots, at the rumbling of his wheels, the fathers will not look back for their children, lacking courage, 4 Because of the day that comes to plunder all the Philistines, to cut off from Tyre and Sidon every helper who remains; for the LORD shall plunder the Philistines, the remnant of the country of Caphtor. 5 Baldness has come upon Gaza, Ashkelon is cut off with the remnant of their valley. How long will you cut yourself? 6 O you sword of the LORD, how long until you are quiet? Put yourself up into your scabbard, rest and

Against Moab. Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Woe to Nebo! For it is plundered, Kirjathaim is shamed and taken; the high stronghold is shamed and dismayed– 2 No more praise of Moab. In Heshbon they have devised evil against her: “Come, and let us cut her off as a nation.” You also shall be cut down, O Madmen! The sword shall pursue you; 3 a voice of crying shall be from Horonaim: “Plundering and great destruction!” 4 “Moab is destroyed!” her little ones have caused a cry to be heard; 5 For in the ascent of Luhith they ascend with continual weeping; for in the descent of Horonaim the enemies have heard a cry of destruction. 6 Flee, save your lives! And be like the juniper in the wilderness. 7 For because you have trusted in your works and your treasures, you also shall be taken. And Chemosh shall go forth into captivity, his priests and his princes together. 8 And the plunderer shall come against every city; No one shall escape. The valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed, as the LORD has spoken. 9 Give wings to Moab, that she may flee and get away; for her cities shall be desolate, without any to dwell in them. 10 Cursed is he who does the work of the LORD deceitfully, and cursed is he who keeps back his sword from blood. 11 Moab has been at ease from his youth; he has settled on his dregs, and has not been emptied from vessel to vessel, nor has he gone into captivity. Therefore his taste remained in him, and his scent has not changed. 12 Therefore behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, That I shall send him wine-workers who will tip him over and empty his vessels and break the bottles. 13 Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel, their confidence. 14 How can you say, “We are mighty and strong men for the war”? 15 Moab is plundered and gone up from her cities; Her chosen young men have gone down to the slaughter, says the King, Whose name is the LORD of hosts. 16 The calamity of Moab is near at hand, and his affliction comes quickly. 17 Bemoan him, all you who are around him; and all you who know his name, say, “How the strong staff is broken, the beautiful rod!” 18 O daughter inhabiting Dibon, come down from your glory, and sit in thirst; for the plunderer of Moab has come against you, he has destroyed your strongholds. 19 O inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way and watch; Ask him who flees and her who escapes; say, “What has happened?” 20 Moab is shamed, for he is broken down. Wail and cry! Tell it in Arnon, “Moab is plundered.” 21 And judgment has come on the plain country: on Holon and Jahzah and Mephaath, 22 on Dibon and Nebo and Beth Diblathaim, 23 on Kirjathaim and Beth Gamul and Beth Meon, 24 on Kerioth and Bozrah, on all the cities of the land

Proroçanstvo protiv Moaba

O Moabu. Ovako govori Gospodin vojska, Bog Izraelov: Teæko Nebu, bit øe opustoæen! Sramota, Kirjatajim bit øe osvojen. Sramota tvråava slomljena. 2 Proæla je slava Moaba. U Heæbonu snuju nesreøu protiv njega: “Ustanimo da ga iskorijenimo, da nije viæe narod!” Madmene, i ti øeæ biti uniæten, za tobom ide maç. 3 Çuj, jauk iz Horonaima: “Pustoæenje i zatiranje veliko.” 4 “Satrven je Moab!” Razlijeœe se jauk djece njihove. 5 Putom od Luhita uzlazi se plaçuøi. Kako se silazi u Horonaim, çuje se jauk nad propaæøu: 6 Bjeœite, spasite œivot, budite kao magarac pustinje! 7 Jer si gradio na svojim djelima i na blagu svojem, zato øeæ biti osvojen i ti. Kemoæ putuje u ropstvo sa svim svojim sveøenicima i glavarima. 8 Zatiraç dolazi na svaki grad. Ni jedan se grad neøe spasiti. Poharat øe se dolina, opustoæit øe se nizina, kako je rekao Gospodin. 9 Stavite Moabu nadgrobni spomenik, jer je on razoren. Njegovi gradovi postaju pustinjom, bez stanovnika. 10 Proklet je onaj tko nemarno obavlja poslove Gospodinove i proklet je onaj tko od krvi usteœe svoj maç! 11 Od malena ostao je Moab u miru, leœao je mirno na droœdini svojoj, nije se pretakao iz suda u sud, nikada nije iæao u progonstvo. Zato mu je ostao fin okus. Njegov se miris nije izgubio. 12 Zato, zaista, dolazi vrijeme, govori Gospodin, kada øu mu poslati baçvare koji øe ga prevrnuti, ispraznit øe baçve i porazbijati sudove. 13 Onda øe se Moab osramotiti zbog Kemoæa kao kuøa Izraelova nekoø Betelom, u koji se uzdala. 14 Kako samo moœete reøi: “Junaci smo, ljudi puni snage za boj!” 15 Zatiraç je Moabov iziæao protiv njega. Najbolji od njegove mladosti silaze na klanje, govori kralj çije je Ime Gospodin vojska. 16 Posve je blizu propast Moabova. Brzo koraça njegova nesreøa. 17 Œalite ga svi susjedi njegovi, svi koji znate za njegovo ime, recite: “Kako se slomi jaki ætap, slavno œezlo!” 18 Siåi sa slave svoje, sjedi u blato, o køeri stanovnice dibonska! Zatiraç Moabov izlazi protiv tebe, ruæi gradove tvoje. 19 Stani na put i pogledaj oko sebe, o stanovniçe Aroera! Upitaj utekloga bjegunca, kaœi: “Æto se dogodilo?” 20 Osramoøen je Moab, razbijen. Jauçite i viçite, glasite na Arnonu: “Sruæen je Moab.” 21 Sud dolazi na zemlju ravnu, na Holon i Jahzu i Mefaat; 22 na Dibon i Nebo i Bet -Diblatajim; 23 na Kirjatajim i Bet-Gamul i na Bet-Meon, 24 na Kerijot, Bosru i sve gradove zemlje moabske, daleke i blize. 25 Odbijen je rog Moabu, miæica se njegova

For whenever you speak of him, you 28 Ispraznite gradove i nastanite se u klisurama, stanovnici moabski! Uçinite kao shake your head in scorn. 28 You who dwell in Moab, leave the cities and dwell golubica, koja se gnijezdi u pustinji na kraju in the rock, and be like the dove which makes her nest gudure! 29 Çuli smo za ponos Moabov, veoma veliki, za in the sides of the cave’s mouth. 29 We have heard the pride of Moab (he is exceed- njegovu oholost, njegovu nadutost i ponos, za ingly proud), of his loftiness and arrogance and pride, ponositost njegovu. 30 Znam dobro obijest njegovu, govori Gospoand of the haughtiness of his heart.” 30 I know his wrath, says the LORD, But it is not right; din. Laœ je brbljanje njegovo, laœ je djelovanje njegovo. his lies have made nothing right. 31 Therefore I will wail for Moab, and I will cry out for 31 Zato jauçem za Moabom, viçem glasno za svojim Moabom.

Glasno they have uttered their voice, from Zoar to Horonaim, jauçu do Jahaza, od Soar do Horonaima, do like a three-year-old heifer; for the waters of Nimrim Eglat Æeliæije. Vode Nimrima postaju pustinja. 35 Uçinit øu u Moabu kraj, govori Gospodin, also shall be desolate. 35 Moreover, says the LORD, I will cause to cease in onomu koji se penjao na uzvisinu œrtvenu, da Moab the one who offers sacrifices in the high places kadi svojim bogovima. 36 Zato tuguje kao frula moje srce za Moabom. and burns incense to his gods. 36 Therefore my heart shall wail like flutes for Moab, Tuguje kao frula moje srce za stanovnicima u and like flutes my heart shall wail for the men of Kir Kir-Heresu: Propalo je svekoliko imanje i dobro Heres. Therefore the riches they have acquired have njihovo. 37 Svaka je glava øelava i svaka je brada obriperished. 37 For every head shall be bald, and every beard jana, urezi na svim rukama, oko bedara odjeøa clipped; on all the hands shall be cuts, and on the œalosti! 38 Na svim krovovima Moabovim i po putovima loins sackcloth– 38 A general lamentation on all the housetops of njegovim, samo jadikovanje, jer sam razbio Moab, and in its streets; for I have broken Moab like Moaba kao posudu u kojoj nema uœivanja, govori Gospodin. a vessel in which is no pleasure, says the LORD. 39 They shall wail: How she is broken down! How 39 Kako je satrven! Jauçite! Kako Moab okreøe Moab has turned her back with shame! So Moab leåa optereøen sramotom! Postao je Moab rushall be a derision and a dismay to all those about glo i groza svim svojim susjedima. 40 Jer ovako govori Gospodin: Evo, kao orao her. 40 For thus says the LORD: Behold, one shall fly like lebdi nad njim, raæiruje krila nad Moabom. 41 Osvojeni su gradovi, zauzete su tvråave.

For upon Moab, upon it I will bring the year of Gospodin. 45 U sjeni heæbonskoj zaustavljaju se izmoreni their punishment, says the LORD. 45 Those who fled stood under the shadow of bjegunci. Jest, nekoø je iziæao oganj iz Heshbon because of exhaustion.

Do ovdje je sud your daughters captive. 47 Yet I will bring back the captives of Moab in the Moabu. latter days, says the LORD. Thus far is the judgment of Moab.

Tko øe izazvati them, and his hands grow feeble; anguish has taken mene i koji øe mi pastir odoljeti? 45 Zato çujte odluku Gospodinovu, koju je prihhold of him, pangs as of a woman in childbirth. 44 Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the flood- vatio protiv Babilona, naume njegove koje je ing of the Jordan against the habitation of the strong; smislio protiv zemlje kaldejske!

Thus says the LORD: Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, against those who dwell in Leb Kamai, a destroying wind. 2 And I will send winnowers to Babylon, who shall winnow her and empty her land. For in the day of doom they shall be against her all around. 3 Against her let the archer bend his bow, and lift himself up against her in his armor. Do not spare her young men; utterly destroy all her army. 4 Thus the slain shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans, and those thrust through in her streets. 5 For Israel is not forsaken, nor Judah, by his God, the LORD of hosts, though their land was filled with sin against the Holy One of Israel. 6 Flee from the midst of Babylon, and every one save his life! Do not be cut off in her iniquity, for this is the time of the LORD’s vengeance; he shall recompense her. 7 Babylon was a golden cup in the LORD’s hand, that made all the earth drunk. The nations drank her wine; therefore the nations are deranged. 8 Babylon has suddenly fallen and been destroyed. Wail for her! Take balm for her pain; perhaps she may be healed. 9 We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed. Forsake her, and let us go everyone to his own country; for her judgment reaches to heaven and is lifted up to the skies. 10 The LORD has revealed our righteousness. Come and let us declare in Zion the work of the LORD our God. 11 Make the arrows bright! Gather the shields! The L ORD has raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes. For his plan is against Babylon to destroy it, because it is the vengeance of the LORD, the vengeance for his temple. 12 Set up the standard on the walls of Babylon; make the guard strong, set up the watchmen, prepare the ambushes. For the LORD has both devised and done what he spoke against the inhabitants of Babylon. 13 O you who dwell by many waters, abundant in treasures, your end has come, the measure of your covetousness. 14 The LORD of hosts has sworn by himself: Surely I will fill you with men, as with locusts, and they shall lift up a shout against you. 15 He has made the earth by his power; he has established the world by his wisdom, and stretched out the heaven by his understanding. 16 When he utters his voice–there is a multitude of waters in the heavens: He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; he makes lightnings for the rain; he brings the wind out of his treasuries. 17 Everyone is dull-hearted, without knowledge; every metalsmith is put to shame by the carved im-

Moø i pad Babilona

Ovako govori Gospodin: “Zaista, ja øu podignuti protiv Babilona i protiv stanovnika Kaldejskih bijes upropastitelja. 2 Poslat øu protiv Babilona vijaçe da ga izviju i njegovu zemlju da oplijene, kad ga opsjednu unaokolo u dan propasti. 3 Neka nitko ne nategne lßk svoj, neka se ne digne u svojem oklopu! Ne ætedite njegovih mladiøa i iskorijenite svu njegovu vojsku! 4 Pobijeni leœe u zemlji kaldejskoj, izbodeni na ulicama njezinim. 5 Jer nije ostavio Izraela i Jude njihov Bog, Gospodin vojska, ako i jest njihova zemlja puna krivnje protiv Sveca Izraelova. 6 Bjeœite iz podruçja babilonskoga! Svaki neka spasi svoj œivot da ne izginete krivnjom svojom! Jer je vrijeme osvete za Gospodina. On vræi plaøu na njemu. 7 Babilon je bio zlatna çaæa u ruci Gospodinovoj. Svu je zemlju opojio, vina su njegova pili narodi; tako su poludjeli narodi. 8 Najedanput je pao Babilon i razbio se, jauçite za njim! Donesite balzama za njegovu bol, moœda se dade ozdraviti! 9 Htjeli smo ozdraviti Babilon, ali se ne moœe ozdraviti. Ostavite ga i idimo svaki u postojbinu svoju, jer do neba dopire presuda njegova, doseœe do oblaka. 10 Gospodin je iznio na svjetlo pravednu stvar naæu. Doåite, pripovijedajmo na Sionu o djelu Gospodina, svojega Boga! 11 Oætrite strijele, hvatajte ætitove! Gospodin je potaknuo bijes kraljeva medijskih, jer je protiv Babilona naum njegov naperen da ga uniæti. Jest, to je osveta Gospodinova, osveta za njegov dom. 12 Razmahnite zastavom na zidovima babilonskim! Pojaçajte straœu, postavite straœare! Namjestite zasjede, jer kako je Gospodin naumio, tako øe i izvræiti æto je obeøao za stanovnike babilonske. 13 Ti, koji prebivaæ na silnim vodama, bogat blagom, doåe kraj tvoj! Svræetak je lihvi tvojoj! 14 Gospodin vojska zakleo se samim sobom: Ako sam te i napunio ljudima kao skakavcima ipak øu podiøi pobjedniçki glas nad tobom. 15 On je stvorio zemlju svojom snagom, on je utemeljio svijet svojom mudroæøu, on je razastro nebo svojim razumom. 16 Kad se zaori njegov glas, zaæuæte vode na nebu. On vodi oblake s krajeva zemlje, baca munje s kiæom, izvodi vihor iz njegovih odaja. 17 Luåak je svaki koji to ne shvaøa. Stidjeti se mora svaki umjetnik svojega livenog kipa, jer je

Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah. 2 He also did evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done. 3 For because of the anger of the LORD this happened in Jerusalem and Judah, till he finally cast them out from his presence. Then Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon. 4 Now it happened in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his army came against Jerusalem and encamped against it; and they built a siege wall against it all around. 5 So the city was besieged until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah. 6 By the fourth month, on the ninth day of the month, the famine had become so severe in the city that there was no food for the people of the land. 7 Then the city wall was broken through, and all the men of war fled and went out of the city at night by way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king’s garden, even though the Chaldeans were near the city all around. And they went by way of the plain. 8 But the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king, and they overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho. All his army was scattered from him. 9 So they took the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah in the land of Hamath, and he pronounced judgment on him. 10 Then the king of Babylon killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes. And he killed all the princes of Judah in Riblah. 11 He also put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him in bronze fetters, took him to Babylon, and put him in prison till the day of his death. 12 Now in the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month (which was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon), Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, who served the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem. 13 He burned the house of the LORD and the king’s house; all the houses of Jerusalem, that is, all the houses of the great men, he burned with fire. 14 And all the army of the Chaldeans who were with the captain of the guard broke down all the walls of Jerusalem all around. 15 Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive some of the poor people, the rest of the people who remained in the city, the defectors who had deserted to the king of Babylon, and the rest

Razor Jeruzalema i propast kraljevstva

Dvadeset i jedna godina bila je Zedekiji kad je postao kralj. Vladao je jedanaest godina u Jeruzalemu. Majka se njegova zvala Hamutala i bila je køi Jeremije iz Libne. 2 I on je çinio zlo pred Gospodinom, sasvim onako kako je çinio Jojakim. 3 Jer zbog gnjeva Gospodinova doælo je s Jeruzalemom i Judom tako daleko da ih je odbacio ispred svojega lica. Zedekija otpadne od babilonskoga kralja. 4 Dogodilo se u devetoj godini njegova vladanja, desetoga dana desetoga mjeseca, doæao je Nebukadnezar, babilonski kralj, sa svom svojom vojskom na Jeruzalem. Opkolili su ga i napravili opkope unaokolo. 5 Grad je ostao opkoljen do jedanaeste godine kraljevanja Zedekijina. 6 Devetoga dana çetvrtoga mjeseca bila je glad u gradu postala tako teæka, te narod zemaljski nije viæe imao æto jesti. 7 Onda je zid gradski bio provaljen i svi su vojnici nagnuli u bijeg i ostavili grad noøu, putom kroz vrata izmeåu oba zida uz vrt kraljev–a Kaldejci su drœali grad opkoljen–oni su krenuli prema jordanskoj ravnici . 8 Ali çete kaldejske potjerale su kralja i stigle Zedekiju u jerihonskom polju. Bila ga je ostavila sva njegova vojska i razbjeœala se. 9 Uhvatili su kralja i doveli ga babilonskom kralju u Riblu u hamatskom podruçju. Taj mu izreçe presudu. 10 Babilonski kralj je dao sinove Zedekijine poklati na njegove oçi i sve glavare Judine pobio u Ribli. 11 A Zedekiji izvadio oçi i stavio ga u mjedene verige. Babilonski kralj ga odveo u Babilon i drœao ga u zatvoru do njegove smrti. 12 Desetoga dana petoga mjeseca, to jest u devetnaestoj godini kraljevanja Nebukadnezara, babilonskoga kralja, doæao je u Jeruzalem Nebuzaradan, zapovjednik tjelesne straœe, koji je pripadao osobnoj sluœbi babilonskoga kralja, 13 i spali Gospodinov dom i kraljevski dvor. Sve kuøe u Jeruzalemu, to jest sve kuøe velikaæa spali. 14 Sve zidine jeruzalemske unaokolo ruæila je sva vojska kaldejska æto je stajala pod zapovjednikom tjelesne straœe. 15 Jedan dio malih ljudi i ostatak naroda æto je joæ bio preostao u gradu, tako isto prebjegle su koje su bile prebjegle babilonskom kralju i osta-

Lamentations THE LAMENTATIONS OF JEREMIAH

How lonely sits the city that was full of people! How like a widow is she, who was great among the nations! The princess among the provinces has become a slave! 2 She weeps bitterly in the night, her tears are on her cheeks; among all her lovers she has none to comfort her. All her friends have dealt treacherously with her; they have become her enemies. 3 Judah has gone into captivity, under affliction and hard servitude; she dwells among the nations, she finds no rest; all her persecutors overtake her in dire straits. 4 The roads to Zion mourn because no one comes to the set feasts. All her gates are desolate; her priests sigh, her virgins are afflicted, and she is in bitterness. 5 Her adversaries have become the master, her enemies prosper; for the LORD has afflicted her because of the multitude of her transgressions. Her children have gone into captivity before the enemy. 6 And from the daughter of Zion all her splendor has departed. Her princes have become like deer that find no pasture, that flee without strength before the pursuer. 7 In the days of her affliction and roaming, Jerusalem remembers all her pleasant things that she had in the days of old. When her people fell into the hand of the enemy, with no one to help her, the adversaries saw her and mocked at her downfall. 8 Jerusalem has sinned grievously, therefore she has become vile. All who honored her despise her because they have seen her nakedness; yes, she sighs and turns away. 9 Her uncleanness is in her skirts; she did not consider her destiny; therefore her collapse was awesome; she had no comforter. “O LORD, behold my affliction, for the enemy has magnified himself!” 10 The adversary has spread his hand over all her pleasant things; for she has seen the nations enter her sanctuary, those whom you commanded not to enter your congregation. 11 All her people sigh, they seek bread; they have given their valuables for food to restore life. “See, O LORD, and consider, for I am scorned.” 12 Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by? Behold and see if there is any sorrow like my sorrow, which has been brought on me, which the LORD has inflicted on me in the day of his fierce anger. 13 From above he has sent fire into my bones, and it overpowered them; he has spread a net for my feet and turned me back; he has made me desolate and faint all the day. 14 The yoke of my transgressions was bound; they were woven together by his hands, and thrust upon my neck. He made my strength fail; the LORD delivered me into the hands of those whom I am not able to withstand. 15 The LORD has trampled underfoot all my mighty men in my midst; he has called an assembly against me to crush my young men; The LORD trampled as in a winepress the virgin daughter of Judah. 16 For these things I weep; my eye, my eye overflows with water; because the comforter, who should restore my life, is far from me. My children are desolate because the enemy prevailed.” 17 Zion spreads out her hands, but there is no one to comfort her; the LORD has commanded concerning Jacob that those around him become his adversaries; Jerusalem has become an unclean thing among them.

Pad Jeruzalema

Ah, kako leœi pusti grad, prijestolnica koja je nekoø bila puna stanovnika! Sada je kao udovica, koja je nekoø bila velika meåu narodima. Vladarica nad zemljama postala je rob. 2 Gorko plaçe noøu, suze joj na obrazima. Nikoga nema da ju utjeæi, od svih ljubavnika njezinih. Svi njezini prijatelji postali su joj nevjerni, postali su joj neprijatelji. 3 Iselila se Juda od jada, od ljutoga ropstva, boravi sad meåu neznaboæcima, ne nalazi mira: svi tlaçitelji njegovi hvataju ga u tjeskobi. 4 Putovi na Sion tuguju, jer nitko ne dolazi na Svetkovinu. Sva su vrata njegova pusta; sveøenici njegovi uzdiæu. Djevice su njegove pune jada, i sam je jadan. 5 Tlaçitelji njegovi doæli su na vlast; neprijatelji se njegovi raduju, jer mu Gospodin zadao bol zbog svih njegovih grijeha. Njegova djeca idu u ropstvo pred tlaçiteljem. 6 Padne sa sionske køeri sav sjaj njezin. Glavari su njezini kao ovnovi bez paænjaka. Vuku se ondje posve iznemogli pred goniçem. 7 U vrijeme svoje muke i nevolje spominje se Jeruzalem i sve krasote koje je imao u dane davne; sada njegov narod pada u ruke neprijatelja, a nitko mu ne pomaœe. Neprijatelji to gledaju i propasti se njegovoj smiju. 8 U krivnju je zapleten Jeruzalem; zato je postao odvratan. Svi laskavci njegovi preziru ga: vidjeli su golotinju njegovu. A on sam uzdiæe i okreøe se natrag. 9 Neçistoøa pokriva skute njegove; nije mislio na kraj svoj. Zato je pao tako duboko; nije imao nikoga da ga utjeæi. “Gospodine, pogledaj moju nevolju, jer se uzvisio neprijatelj!” 10 Tlaçitelj poseœe rukom na sve blago njegovo. Morao je vidjeti kako prodiru u njegovo svetiæte neznaboæci, kojima si zabranio pristup u zajednicu svoju. 11 Sav njegov narod uzdiæe traœeøi kruha. Za jelo daje nakit svoj, da produœi œivot. Ah, Gospodine, vidi ipak i pogledaj kako sam veoma prezren! 12 Vi, svi koji prolazite putom, pogledajte i vidite ima li œalosti kakva je moja, koja me pogodila kad mi Gospodin zadao bol u dan œestokoga svojega gnjeva! 13 S visine poslao oganj u nutrinu moju za kaznu. Postavi mreœu nogama mojim i nauznak me sruæio. Opustoæio me, tako da neprestano tugujem. 14 Opremljen je jaram mojih grijeha, privezala ga je njegova ruka. Bio mi je stavljen na vrat, i skræila se moja snaga. Gospodin me predao takvima, koje ne mogu prevladati. 15 Sve je junake moje ugrabio Gospodin u sredini mojoj. Sazvao protiv mene sveçanost da pogubi ratnike moje. Gospodin je sam, kao groœåe u tijesku, zgnjeçio djevojku, køer Judinu. 16 Zato ja moram gorko plakati; moje oko pliva u suzama. Daleko je od mene utjeæitelj koji bi me okrijepio. Postiåena su moja djeca, jer je nadvladao neprijatelj. 17 Sion pruœa svoje ruke, nema mu utjeæitelja.

How the LORD has covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger! He cast down from heaven to the earth the beauty of Israel, and did not remember his footstool in the day of his anger. 2 The LORD has swallowed up and has not pitied all the habitations of Jacob. He has thrown down in his wrath the strongholds of the daughter of Judah; he has brought them down to the ground; he has profaned the kingdom and its princes. 3 He has cut off in fierce anger every horn of Israel; he has drawn back his right hand from before the enemy. He has blazed against Jacob like a flaming fire which devours all around. 4 Standing like an enemy, he has bent his bow; with his right hand, like an adversary, he has slain all who were pleasing to his eye; on the tent of the daughter of Zion, he has poured out his fury like fire. 5 The LORD was like an enemy. He has swallowed up Israel, he has swallowed up all her palaces; he has destroyed her strongholds, and has increased mourning and lamentation in the daughter of Judah. 6 He has done violence to his tabernacle, As if it were a garden; he has destroyed his place of assembly; the LORD has caused the appointed feasts and Sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion. In his burning indignation he has spurned the king and the priest. 7 The LORD has spurned his altar, he has abandoned his sanctuary; he has given up the walls of her palaces into the hand of the enemy. They have made a noise in the house of the LORD as on the day of a set feast. 8 The LORD has purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion. He has stretched out a line; he has not withdrawn his hand from destroying; therefore he has caused the rampart and wall to lament; they languished together. 9 Her gates have sunk into the ground; he has destroyed and broken her bars. Her king and her princes are among the nations; the Law is no more, and her prophets find no vision from the LORD. 10 The elders of the daughter of Zion sit on the ground and keep silence; they throw dust on their heads and gird themselves with sackcloth. The virgins of Jerusalem bow their heads to the ground. 11 my eyes fail with tears, my heart is troubled; my bile is poured on the ground because of the destruction of the daughter of my people, because the children and the infants faint in the streets of the city. 12 They say to their mothers, “Where is grain and

Ah, kako naoblaçi Gospodin u svojem gnjevu køer sionsku! Baci s neba na zemlju sjaj Izraelov, ne pomisli na podnoœje svojih nogu u dan svojega gnjeva. 2 Neætedimice uniætio Gospodin sva polja Jakovljeva. Poruæio u svojem gnjevu tvråave køeri Judine. Poruæio u prah, oskvrnuo kraljevstvo, njegove glavare. 3 Slomi u œestini svojega gnjeva svu snagu Izraelovu. Potegnuo natrag svoju desnicu od neprijatelja, raspali se na Jakova kao oganj plameni æto proœdire sve. 4 Kao neprijatelj nateœe lßk svoj, kao protivnik pruœi svoju desnicu i pobio æto mu je oku milo, sve to uniæti u æatoru køeri sionske. Izlio svoju srdœbu kao oganj. 5 Kao neprijatelj pokazao se Gospodin. On uniætio Izraela, on uniætio sve kuøe njegove, sruæio njegove tvråave, i poveøao na køer Judinu œalost i jadanje. 6 Silovito uniæti, kao sjenicu u vrtu, dom svoj, poruæio mjesto sastanka. Gospodin bacio u zaborav na Sionu Svetkovine i Subotnje dane. U œestokom svojem gnjevu odbaci kralja i sveøenika. 7 Pogrdi Gospodin œrtvenik svoj, zamrzio svoje svetiæte. Pusti da padnu u ruke neprijatelju zidovi dvorova njegovih. Poçeli su vikati u Gospodinovu domu kao u dan Sveçanosti. 8 Odluçio Gospodin uniætiti zidove køeri sionske. Rasteœe mjeraçko uœe i ne zaustavi svoje ruke od uniætenja. I tako je uçinio da opkop i zid tuguju zajedno. 9 Utonule su u zemlju vrata njezina; polomio i razbio prijevornice njezine. Kod neznaboœaca su njezin kralj i njezini glavari. Nema viæe zakona. I proroci njezini ne dobivaju viåenja od Gospodina. 10 Æuteøi sjede na zemlji starci køeri sionske, posuli su prahom svoju glavu, i s kostrijeti se ogrnuli. Pognule k zemlji svoje glave djevojke jeruzalemske. 11 Ispale su mi oçi od plaça; grudi moje hoøe puknuti. Sav mi je œivot otet zbog pada køeri mojega naroda, jer dijete i nejaçad ginu na ulicama gradskim. 12 Svojim majkama viçu: “Gdje je kruh i vino?” Ginu kao smrtna rana na ulicama gradskim, izdiæu svoju duæu na grudima majka svojih.

I am the man who has seen affliction by the rod of his wrath. 2 He has led me and made me walk in darkness and not in light. 3 Surely he has turned his hand against me time and time again throughout the day. 4 He has aged my flesh and my skin, and broken my bones. 5 He has besieged me and surrounded me with bitterness and woe. 6 He has set me in dark places like the dead of long ago. 7 He has hedged me in so that I cannot get out; he has made my chain heavy. 8 Even when I cry and shout, he shuts out my prayer. 9 He has blocked my ways with hewn stone; he has made my paths crooked. 10 He has been to me like a bear lying in wait, like a lion in ambush. 11 He has turned aside my ways and torn me in pieces; he has made me desolate. 12 He has bent his bow and set me up as a target for the arrow. 13 He has caused the arrows of his quiver to pierce my loins.

How the gold has become dim! How changed the fine gold! The stones of the sanctuary are scattered at the head of every street. 2 The precious sons of Zion, valuable as fine gold, how they are regarded as clay pots, the work of the hands of the potter! 3 Even the jackals present their breasts to nurse their young; but the daughter of my people has become cruel, like ostriches in the wilderness. 4 The tongue of the infant clings to the roof of its mouth for thirst; the young children ask for bread, but no one breaks it for them. 5 Those who ate delicacies are desolate in the streets; those who were brought up in scarlet embrace ash heaps. 6 The punishment of the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the punishment of the sin of Sodom, which was overthrown in a moment, with no hand to help her! 7 Her Nazirites were brighter than snow and whiter than milk; they were more ruddy in body than rubies, like sapphire in their appearance. 8 Now their appearance is blacker than soot; they go unrecognized in the streets; their skin clings to their bones, it has become as dry as wood. 9 Those slain by the sword are better off than those who die of hunger; for these pine away, stricken for lack of the fruits of the field. 10 The hands of the compassionate women have cooked their own children; they became food for them in the destruction of the daughter of my people. 11 The LORD has fulfilled his fury, he has poured out his fierce anger. He kindled a fire in Zion, and it has devoured its foundations. 12 The kings of the earth, and all inhabitants of the world, would not have believed that the adversary and the enemy could enter the gates of Jerusalem– 13 Because of the sins of her prophets and the iniquities of her priests, who shed in her midst the blood of the just. 14 They wandered blind in the streets; they have defiled themselves with blood, so that no one would touch their garments. 15 They cried out to them, “Go away, unclean! go

Krivnja i kazna Sionova

Ah, kako je poblijedjelo zlato, kako se pokvarila plemenita kovina! Razasuto je sveto kamenje po uglovima svih ulica. 2 Plemeniti sinovi Siona, nekoø zlatom izmjereni, kako su cijenjeni kao zemljane posude, kao djelo ruke lonçarove! 3 I çaglji podaju grudi, doje mlade. Køi mojega naroda okrutna je kao nojevi pustinje. 4 Jezik je nejakoga prionuo za nepce od zeåi. Djeçica su traœila kruha, a nitko im ga nije lomio. 5 Koji su nekoø jeli poslastice, ginu na ulici. Koji su noæeni u grimizu, valjaju se u praæini. 6 Jer je krivnja køeri mojega naroda bila veøa od grijeha Sodome, koja je bila sruæena u ças, a da se nisu trudile ruke. 7 Njezini glavari sjali su jasnije od snijega, bjelje od mlijeka. Crvenije je bilo njihovo tijelo od koralja, lik je njihov bio kao safir. 8 Ali je njihovo lice postalo crnje od çaåi, ne poznaju se na ulicama. Koœa im se prilijepila za kosti, osuæila se kao drvo. 9 Sretniji je tko je pao od maça negoli tko je poginuo od gladi: polagano ginu oni od nestaæice hrane. 10 Kuhale su vlastitom rukom njeœne œene svoju djecu. Ona su im bila hrana kad je padala køi mojega naroda. 11 Iscrpio je Gospodin svoj gnjev, izlio je jarost svoje srdœbe, oganj je na Sionu raspalio æto proœdrije njegove utvrde. 12 Nikada nisu pomislili kraljevi zemaljski, ni svi stanovnici zemaljski da bi uæli tlaçitelj i neprijatelj na vrata Jeruzalema. 13 Dogodilo se to za grijehe njegovih proroka, za opaçine njegovih sveøenika, koji su prolijevali usred njega krv pravednika. 14 Vrludali su kao slijepci po ulicama, uprljani krvlju, da se çovjek nije mogao dotaknuti haljina njihovih. 15 Vikali su im: “Natrag, neçist, natrag, natrag! Ne dodirujte ga se!” Kad bi bjeœali i skitali se, onda bi se govorilo meåu neznaboæcima: “Ne smiju dalje boraviti.”

THE BOOK OF THE PROPHET EZEKIEL

KNJIGA PROROKA EZEKIELA Prikazanje slave Gospodinove

Now it happened in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the River Chebar, that the heavens were opened and I saw visions of God. 2 On the fifth day of the month, which was in the fifth year of King Jehoiachin’s captivity, 3 the word of the LORD came expressly to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the River Chebar; and the hand of the LORD was upon him there. 4 Then I looked, and behold, a whirlwind was coming out of the north, a great cloud with raging fire engulfing itself; and brightness was all around it and radiating out of its midst like the color of amber, out of the midst of the fire. 5 Also from within it came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: they had the likeness of a man. 6 Each one had four faces, and each one had four wings. 7 Their legs were straight, and the soles of their feet were like the soles of calves’ feet. They sparkled like the color of burnished bronze. 8 They had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and each of the four had faces and wings. 9 Their wings touched one another. The creatures did not turn when they went, but each one went straight forward. 10 As for the likeness of their faces, each had the face of a man, each of the four had the face of a lion on the right side, each of the four had the face of an ox on the left side, and each of the four had the face of an eagle. 11 Thus were their faces. Their wings were stretched upward; two wings of each one touched one another, and two covered their bodies. 12 And each one went straight forward; they went wherever the spirit wanted to go, and they did not turn when they went. 13 As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of torches. Fire was going back and forth among the living creatures; the fire was bright, and out of the fire went lightning. 14 And the living creatures ran back and forth, in appearance like a flash of lightning. 15 Now as I looked at the living creatures, behold, a wheel was on the earth beside each living creature with its four faces. 16 The appearance of the wheels and their works was like the color of beryl, and all four had the same likeness. The appearance of their works was, as it were, a wheel in the middle of a wheel. 17 When they went, they went toward any one of four directions; they did not turn aside when they went. 18 As for their rims, they were so high they were awesome; and their rims were full of eyes, all around the four of them. 19 When the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them; and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up. 20 Wherever the spirit wanted to go, they went, because there the spirit went; and the wheels were lifted together with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. 21 When those went, these went; when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the

Dogodilo se u tridesetoj godini, u çetvrtom mjesecu, petoga dana toga mjeseca, kad sam boravio meåu zarobljenicima na rijeci Kebaru, otvori se nebo i vidio sam viåenja boœanska. 2 Peti dan toga mjeseca, u petoj godini nakon odvoåenja kralja Jojakina, 3 doæla je rijeç Gospodinova Ezekielu, sinu sveøenika Buzija u zemlji Kaldejaca na rijeci Kebaru, i ruka Gospodinova je doæla ondje na njega. 4 Onda ja sam pogledao i vidio: sa sjevera udari vihor sa silnim oblakom punim ognja æto je buktio. Okruœivala ga je svjetlost, a iznutra je sjao kao svjetlac u ognju. 5 Posred njega prikazale se prilike sliçne çetvorim œivim biøima. Izgled njihov bio je ovaj: imala su lik çovjeçji. 6 Svako je imalo çetiri lica i svako od njih çetiri krila. 7 Noge njihove bile su prave i stope njihove kao u teleta. Sijevale su kao mjed blistava. 8 Ruke çovjeçje pruœale se pod krilima njihovim na sve çetiri strane, çetvero njih imali su svoja lica i svoja krila. 9 Krila su se njihova doticala–nisu se okretala kada bi iæla–svako je biøe iælo ravno naprijed. 10 Izgled njihova lica bio je ovaj: sprijeda imala su lice çovjeçje, zdesna lice lavlje, slijeva lice volujsko, unutra lice orlovsko, u sva çetiri biøa. 11 Krila su njihova bila gore ispruœena. S dva su se doticala, a s dva su prekrivala svoja tjelesa. 12 Svako je iælo ravno naprijed. Kamo ih je duh tjerao da idu, ondje su iæla. Nisu se okretala kada bi iæla. 13 U sredini biøa bilo je neæto æto je izgledalo kao œivo ugljevlje, kao zublje. Ove su iæle izmeåu biøa ondje i ovamo. Oganj je imao svijetli sjaj, i munje su izlazile iz ognja. 14 Biøa su trçala ondje i ovamo, tako da je izgledalo kao da su munje sijevale. 15 Kad sam promatrao biøa, vidio sam kotaç uz biøa na zemlji na njihove çetiri strane. 16 Kotaçi i njihova naprava imali su izgled krizolita. Sva çetiri imala su isti oblik. Izgledali su i bili su tako izraåeni kao da bi jedan kotaç iæao kroz drugi. 17 Kad su trçali, mogli su se kretati na sve çetiri strane. Pri voœnji se nisu trebali okretati. 18 Naplatnice su njihove bile vrlo visoke i straæne za gledanje. Unaokolo bile su naplatnice pune oçiju u sva çetiri! 19 Kad bi se biøa kretala naprijed, okretali se i kotaçi uz njih, i kad bi se biøa podigla od zemlje, podigli su se i kotaçi. 20 Kamo bi ih duh tjerao da idu, ondje su iæli kotaçi æto bi se podizali zajedno s njima, jer je dah biøa bio u kotaçima. 21 Kada su se kretala biøa, iæli su i kotaçi s njima, kada bi ona stala, stali bi i ovi. Kada bi se ona podizala od zemlje, podizali su se kotaçi istodobno s njima, jer je duh biøa bio u njima. 22 Nad glavama biøa bilo je vidjeti neku vrstu nebeskoga svoda iz divna kristala æto se prostirao gore nad njihovim glavama. 23 Pod svodom nebeskim bila su krila njihova

Od bedara likeness of a throne, in appearance like a sapphire gore i od bedara dolje vidio sam kao oganj i stone; on the likeness of the throne was a likeness svjetlost oko njega. 28 Kao æto izgleda duga kad se pojavi u kiæni with the appearance of a man high above it. 27 Also from the appearance of his waist and upward dan, tako je izgledala svjetlost oko njega.

This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. So when I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of One speaking.

And he said to me, “Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak to you.” 2 Then the Spirit entered me when he spoke to me, and set me on my feet; and I heard him who spoke to me. 3 And he said to me: “Son of man, I am sending you to the sons of Israel, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against me; they and their fathers have transgressed against me to this very day. 4 For they are impudent and stubborn children. I am sending you to them, and you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the LORD God.’ 5 As for them, whether they hear or whether they refuse–for they are a rebellious house–yet they will know that a prophet has been among them. 6 And you, son of man, do not be afraid of them nor be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you and you dwell among scorpions; do not be afraid of their words or dismayed by their looks, though they are a rebellious house. 7 You shall speak my words to them, whether they hear or whether they refuse, for they are rebellious. 8 But you, son of man, hear what I say to you. Do not be rebellious like that rebellious house; open your mouth and eat what I give you.” 9 Now when I looked, there was a hand stretched out to me; and behold, a scroll of a book was in it. 10 Then he spread it before me; and there was writing on the inside and on the outside, and written on it were lamentations and mourning and woe.

3

Moreover he said to me, “Son of man, eat what you find; eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.” 2 So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that scroll. 3 And he said to me, “Son of man, feed your belly, and fill your stomach with this scroll that I give you.” So I ate it, and it was in my mouth like honey in sweetness.

Poslanje Ezekiela za proroka

On m rekao: “Sine çovjeçji, postavi ` sena svoje noge, jer hoøu govoriti s tobom!” 2 Onda je doæao duh u mene kad mi je on govorio i postavi me na moje noge, i sluæao sam onoga koji je razgovarao sa mnom. 3 On mi je rekao: “Sine çovjeçji, ja te æaljem Izraelovim sinovima, narodu nepokornom, koji se pobuni protiv mene. Oni i njihovi oçevi grijeæili su protiv mene sve do danaænjega dana. 4 To su sinovi drska obraza i otvrdnuta srca. Njima te æaljem; kaœi im: Ovako govori Gospodin Bog. 5 I posluæaju li ili ne posluæaju–jer su rod nepokoran–neka ipak znaju da je prorok meåu njima. 6 A ti, sine çovjeçji, ne boj ih se i ne straæi se njihovih rijeçi, iako je oko tebe draça i trnje i boraviæ meåu ækorpionima! Ne boj se njihovih rijeçi! Ne dræøi pred njihovim licem, jer su rod nepokoran! 7 Navjeæøuj im moje rijeçi, posluæali ili ne, jer su nepokorni. 8 Ali ti, sine çovjeçji, sluæaj æto øu ti reøi! Ne budi nepokoran kao taj rod neposluæan! Otvori svoja usta i jedi æto ti dadem!” 9 Onda sam vidio ruku pruœenu prema meni i u njoj svitak knjige. 10 On ga razvio preda mnom. Bio je ispisan na prednjoj strani i na suprotnoj strani. Bili su u njemu napisani plaç, uzdisaji i jauci.

You also, son of man, take a clay tablet and lay it before you, and portray on it a city, Jerusalem. 2 Lay siege against it, build a siege wall against it, and heap up a mound against it; set camps against it also, and place battering rams against it all around. 3 Moreover take for yourself an iron plate, and set it as an iron wall between you and the city. Set your face against it, and it shall be besieged, and you shall lay siege against it. This will be a sign to the house of Israel. 4 Lie also on your left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it. According to the number of the days that you lie on it, you shall bear their iniquity. 5 For I have laid on you the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days; so you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Israel. 6 And when you have completed them, lie again on your right side; then you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days. I have laid on you a day for each year. 7 Therefore you shall set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem; your arm shall be uncovered, and you shall prophesy against it. 8 And surely I will constrain you so that you cannot turn from one side to another till you have ended the days of your siege. 9 Also take for yourself wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and spelt; put them into one vessel, and make bread of them for yourself. During the number of days that you lie on your side, three hundred and ninety days, you shall eat it. 10 And your food which you eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day; from time to time you shall eat it. 11 You shall also drink water by measure, one-sixth of a hin; from time to time you shall drink. 12 And you shall eat it as barley cakes; and bake it using fuel of human waste in their sight.” 13 Then the LORD said, “So shall the sons of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, where I will drive them.” 14 So I said, “Ah, LORD God! Indeed I have never defiled myself from my youth till now; I have never eaten what died of itself or was torn by beasts, nor has abominable flesh ever come into my mouth.” 15 Then he said to me, “See, I am giving you cow dung instead of human waste, and you shall prepare your bread over it.” 16 Moreover he said to me, “Son of man, surely I will cut off the supply of bread in Jerusalem; they shall eat bread by weight and with anxiety, and shall drink water by measure and with dread, 17 that they may lack bread and water, and be dismayed with one another, and waste away because of their iniquity.

Onda postavi tabor protiv njega i namjesti unaokolo zidodere protiv njega! 3 Potom uzmi tavicu œeljeznu i stavi je kao œeljezni zid izmeåu sebe i grada! Onda baci na njega poglede prijetnje, kao da bi on bio opsjednut, i kao da si ti opsjedatelj njegov! To je nevolja kuøi Izraelovoj. 4 Onda lezi na lijevu stranu svoju i stavi na nju krivnju Izraelove kuøe; koliko dana odleœiæ na njoj, toliko øeæ nositi njihovu krivnju. 5 Ja øu ti godine njihovih grijeha raçunati kao isto toliko dana, naime, tri stotine i devedeset dana nosit øeæ krivnju Izraelove kuøe. 6 Kad ih navræiæ, lezi opet na desnu stranu i uzmi na sebe krivnju Judine kuøe za çetrdeset dana; za svaku godinu raçunam ti jedan dan. 7 Pritom øeæ upraviti svoje lice na opsadu Jeruzalema.

Sve dok leœiæ na svojoj strani, tri stotine i devedeset dana, to øeæ jesti. 10 Jelo tvoje kojim øeæ se hraniti neka iznosi izmjereno dvadeset æekela na dan; jedi ga na obroke! 11 I vodu øeæ piti na mjeru, naime, jednu æestinu hina; pij ju na obroke! 12 Kruh øeæ jesti pripravljen kao jeçmen kolaç; na njihove oçi peøi øeæ ga na neçisti çovjeçjoj.” 13 I rekao je Gospodin: “Isto øe tako Izraelovi sinovi jesti neçista jela meåu neznaboæcima kamo øu ih prognati.” 14 Onda sam rekao: “Ah, Gospodine Boœe, nikada se nisam uprljao neçistim; mesa od palih ili razdrtih œivotinja od mladosti do sada nisam joæ nikada jeo; meso pokvareno nije joæ nikada uælo u moja usta.” 15 On mi odgovorio: “Dobro, dopustit øu ti goveåu izmetinu mjesto çovjeçje neçisti; njom moœeæ ispeøi svoj kruh.” 16 Dalje mi je rekao: “Sine çovjeçji, evo, ja øu u Jeruzalemu slomiti ætap kruha. Oni øe morati jesti kruh na mjeru i u tjeskobi. I vodu øe morati piti na mjeru i u grozi. 17 Oni øe imati oskudicu kruha i vode, i jedan kao drugi ginut øe i iæçeznut øe zbog krivnje svoje.

And it happened in the sixth year, in the sixth month, on the fifth day of the month, as I sat in my house with the elders of Judah sitting before me, that the hand of the LORD God fell upon me there. 2 Then I looked, and there was a likeness, like the appearance of fire–from the appearance of his waist and downward, fire; and from his waist and upward, like the appearance of brightness, like the color of amber. 3 He stretched out the form of a hand, and took me by

Viåenje o idolopoklonstvu u Jeruzalemu

Dogodilo se u æestoj godini, u æestom mjesecu, peoga dana toga mjeseca, dok sam sjedio u svojoj kuøi i starjeæine Judine sjedile preda mnom, doæla je ondje na mene ruka Gospodina Boga. 2 Vidio sam najedanput priliku koja je izgledala kao çovjek. Od dijela koji je izgledao kao bedra njegova dolje bio je oganj, i od dijela koji je izgledao kao bedra njegova, gore izgledalo je

Then he called out in my hearing with a loud voice, saying, “Let those who have charge over the city draw near, each with a deadly weapon in his hand.” 2 And suddenly six men came from the direction of the upper gate, which faces north, each with his battle-ax in his hand. One man among them was clothed with linen and had a writer’s inkhorn at his side. They went in and stood beside the bronze altar. 3 Now the glory of the God of Israel had gone up from the cherub, where it had been, to the threshold of the temple. And he called to the man clothed with linen, who had the writer’s inkhorn at his side;

Kazna za nepokornost

Onda mi povikao u sav glas u uæi, govoreøi: “Pribliœava se kazneni sud na grad. Svaki neka nosi u ruci svoje razorno oruåe!” 2 Onda je doælo najedanput æest ljudi od gornjih vrata æto stoje prema sjeveru. Svaki je imao u ruci razorno oruåe. Jedan çovjek je bio u njihovoj sredini, odjeven u laneno platno, s priborom pisarskim uz bedricu. Doæli su i stali pokraj mjedena œrtvenika. 3 Slava Boga Izraelova bila se podigla od kerubina na kojima je bila i zaputila se k pragu doma. Onda je on pozvao çovjeka, koji je bio

Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the east gate of the LORD’s house, which faces eastward; and there at the door of the gate were twenty-five men, among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people. 2 And he said to me: “Son of man, these are the men who devise iniquity and give wicked counsel in this city, 3 who say, ‘The time is not near to build houses; this city is the caldron, and we are the meat.’ 4 Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man!” 5 Then the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me, and said to me, “Speak! ‘Thus says the LORD: Thus you have said, O house of Israel; for I know the things that come into your mind. 6 You have multiplied your slain in this city, and you have filled its streets with the slain.’ 7 Therefore thus says the LORD God: ‘Your slain whom you have laid in its midst, they are the meat, and this city is the caldron; but I shall bring you out of the midst of it. 8 You have feared the sword; and I will bring a sword upon you,’ says the LORD God. 9 ‘And I will bring you out of its midst, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and execute judgments on you. 10 You shall fall by the sword. I will judge you at the border of Israel. Then you shall know that I am the LORD. 11 This city shall not be your caldron, nor shall you be the meat in its midst. I will judge you at the border of Israel. 12 And you shall know that I am the LORD; for you have not walked in my statutes nor executed my judgments, but have done according to the customs of the Gentiles which are all around you.’ ”

Svræetak bezboœnih glavara. Bog ostavlja grad

Nato me podigao duh gore i odnio me na istoçna vrata Gospodinova doma, æto gledaju na istok sunçani. Na vratima vidio sam dvadeset i pet ljudi i u njihovoj sredini opazio sam Jaazaniju, sina Azurova, i Pelatiju, sina Benajina, glavare naroda. 2 Gospodin mi je rekao: “Sine çovjeçji to su ljudi koji smiæljaju nesreøu i daju zao savjet u tom gradu. 3 Oni govore: ‘Nisu li tek nedavno sagraåene kuøe? Grad je lonac, a mi smo meso.’ 4 Zato prorokuj protiv njih, prorokuj, o sine çovjeçji!” 5 Onda je doæao Duh Gospodinov na mene i rekao mi: “Kaœi: Ovako govori Gospodin: ‘Tako govorite, o kuøo Izraelova, i znam dobro misli æto se raåaju u vama. 6 Mnoge ste izmeåu sebe pobili u tom gradu i napunili ste ulice njegove pobijenima.’ 7 Zato ovako govori Gospodin Bog: ‘Od vas pobijeni, æto poubijali ste ih u sredini grada, oni su meso, a on je lonac. A vas øu izvesti iz sredine njegove. 8 Bojite se maça, a ja øu maç pustiti na vas,’ govori Gospodin Bog. 9 ‘Izbacit øu vas iz toga grada i dat øu vas u ruke strancima i izvræit øu na vama presudu. 10 Od maça øete pasti. Na meåi Izraelovoj sudit øu vam i spoznat øete da sam ja Gospodin. 11 Ovaj grad neøe vam biti lonac niti øete vi biti u njemu meso. Na meåi Izraelovoj sudit øu vam. 12 Onda øete spoznati da sam ja Gospodin, po çijim propisima niste hodili i çijih zapovijedi niste izvræavali. Dapaçe, radili ste po obiçajima neznaboœaçkih naroda oko vas.’ ” 13 Dok sam tako prorokovao, umro je Pelatija,

Will you make a complete end of the remnant of elov?” 14 Rijeç Gospodinova mi je doæla, govoreøi: Israel?” 14 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 15 “Sine çovjeçji, tvoja braøa, tvoji roåaci, tvoji 15 “Son of man, your brethren, your relatives, your sunarodnjaci i sva kuøa Izraelova, svi su oni o kinsmen, and all the house of Israel in its entirety, are kojima govore stanovnici jeruzalemski: ‘Oni su those about whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have daleko od Gospodina, nama je zemlja dana u said, ‘Get far away from the LORD; this land has been posjed.’ 16 Zato kaœi: ‘Ovako govori Gospodin Bog: given to us as a possession.’ 16 Therefore say, ‘Thus says the LORD God: Although Jest, ja sam ih odveo u daljinu meåu I have cast them far off among the Gentiles, and al- neznaboœaçke narode i razasuo ih u zemlje i u though I have scattered them among the countries, zemljama u koje su doæli postao sam im samo yet I shall be a little sanctuary for them in the coun- malo predmet svetoga ætovanja.’ 17 Zato kaœi: ‘Ovako govori Gospodin Bog: tries where they have gone.’ 17 Therefore say, ‘Thus says the LORD God: I will Skupit øu vas iz naroda i pokupit øu vas iz zegather you from the peoples, assemble you from the malja kamo ste bili razasuti i dat øu vam opet countries where you have been scattered, and I will zemlju Izraelovu.’ 18 Oni øe doøi ondje i uklonit øe iz nje sve njegive you the land of Israel.’ 18 And they will go there, and they will take away all zine grozote. its detestable things and all its abominations from 19 Dat øu im drugo srce i novi duh stavit øu u nutrinu njihovu.

12

Now the word of the LORD came to me, saying: 2 “Son of man, you dwell in the midst of a rebellious house, which has eyes to see but does not see, and ears to hear but does not hear; for they are a rebellious house. 3 Therefore, son of man, prepare your belongings for captivity, and go into captivity by day in their sight. You shall go from your place into captivity to another place in their sight. It may be that they will consider, though they are a rebellious house. 4 By day you shall bring out your belongings in their sight, as though going into captivity; and at evening you shall go in their sight, like those who go into captivity. 5 Dig through the wall in their sight, and carry your belongings out through it. 6 In their sight you shall bear them on your shoulders and carry them out at twilight; you shall cover your face, so that you cannot see the ground, for I have made you a sign to the house of Israel.” 7 So I did as I was commanded. I brought out my belongings by day, as though going into captivity, and at evening I dug through the wall with my hand. I brought them out at twilight, and I bore them on my shoulder in their sight.

Odvoåenje kralja i naroda

Nato mi je doæla rijeç Gospodinova, govoreøi: 2 “Sine çovjeçji, ti prebivaæ usred roda nepokorna æto ima oçi da vidi, a ipak ne vidi, ima uæi da çuje, a ipak ne çuje. Zaista, oni su rod nepokoran. 3 Zato, sine çovjeçji, spremi si putni zaveœljaj, kao putni zaveœljaj jednoga zarobljenika i idi po danu na njihove oçi! Putuj od jednoga mjesta do drugoga na njihove oçi! Moœda øe razumjeti to, iako su rod nepokoran. 4 Iznesi putni zaveœljaj svoj po danu na njihove oçi! Ti sam izaåi uveçer na njihove oçi kao onaj æto ide u zarobljeniætvo! 5 Na njihove oçi prokopaj prodor kroz zid i proåi kroz nju! 6 Na njihove oçi uzmi na ramena putni zaveœljaj svoj i iznesi ga po mraku! Pritom pokrij svoje lice i ne gledaj na tu zemlju, jer te çinim znakom çudesnim za kuøu Izraelovu.” 7 Uçinio sam tako kako mi je bilo zapovjeåeno. Imovinu svoju iznio sam po danu kao putni zaveœljaj jednoga zarobljenika. Uveçer sam prokopao rukom prodor kroz zid i iziæao sam po mraku. Na pleøima sam nosio putni zaveœljaj svoj na njihove oçi.

Now some of the elders of Israel came to me and sat before me. 2 And the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 3 “Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their hearts, and put before them that which causes them to stumble into iniquity. Should I let myself be inquired of at all by them? 4 Therefore speak to them, and say to them, Thus says the LORD God: ‘Everyone of the house of Israel who sets up his idols in his heart, and puts before him what causes him to stumble into iniquity, and then comes to the prophet, I the LORD will answer him who comes, according to the multitude of his idols, 5 that I may seize the house of Israel by their heart, because they are all estranged from me by their idols.’ 6 Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the LORD God: ‘Repent, turn away from your idols, and turn your faces away from all your abominations. 7 For anyone of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who sojourn in Israel, who separates himself from me and sets up his idols in his heart and puts before him what causes him to stumble into iniquity, then comes to a prophet to inquire of him concerning me, I the LORD will answer him by myself. 8 I will set my face against that man and make him a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people. Then you shall know that I am the LORD. 9 And if the prophet is induced to speak anything, I the LORD have induced that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand against him and destroy him from among my people Israel. 10 And they shall bear their iniquity; the punishment of the prophet shall be the same as the punishment of the one who inquired, 11 that the house of Israel may no longer stray from me, nor be profaned anymore with all their transgressions, but that they may be my people and I may be their God, says the LORD God.’ ” 12 The word of the LORD came again to me, saying: 13 “Son of man, when a land sins against me by persistent unfaithfulness, I will stretch out my hand against it; I will cut off its supply of bread, send famine on it, and cut off man and beast from it. 14 Though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they would deliver only themselves by their righteousness, says the LORD God. 15 If I cause wild beasts to pass through the land, and they empty it, and make it so desolate that no man may pass through because of the beasts, 16 even though these three men were in it, as I live, says the LORD God, they would deliver neither sons nor daughters; only they would be delivered, and the land would be desolate. 17 Or if I bring a sword on that land, and say, ‘Sword, go through the land,’ and I cut off man and beast from it, 18 even though these three men were in it, as I live, says the LORD God, they would deliver neither sons nor daughters, but only they themselves would be delivered. 19 Or if I send a pestilence into that land and pour out my fury on it in blood, and cut off from it man and beast, 20 even though Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, as I live, says the LORD God, they would deliver neither son nor daughter; they would deliver only themselves by their righteousness.”

Ezekiel Sud Boœji nad Jeruzalemom

Nato su doæli k meni neki od starjeæina Izraelovih i sjeli pred mene. 2 Onda mi je doæla rijeç Gospodinova, govoreøi: 3 “Sine çovjeçji, ovi su ljudi opet privinuli idole k srcima svojim i stavili ih pred sebe da navuku na sebe svoju prijaænju krivnju. Zar da pustim da me sad pitaju sa savjet? 4 Zato im javi i kaœi im: Ovako govori Gospodin Bog: ‘Svaki od Izraelove kuøe koji se opet okrenuo svojim idolima i ætovao grozotu i navukao na se svoju prijaænju krivnju, a ipak doåe proroku, ja, Gospodin, odgovorit øu mu za mnoætvo idola njegovih, 5 da uhvatim kuøu Izraelovu za srce, jer se odvratila od mene po svakojakim svojim idolima.’ 6 Zato kaœi kuøi Izraelovoj: Ovako govori Gospodin Bog: ‘Pokajte se i okrenite se od svojih idola, i okrenite svoje lice od svih svojih odurnosti! 7 Jer svakomu od Izraelove kuøe i od stranaca koji se zadrœavaju u Izraelu, koji otpadne od mene i opet se okrene k idolima i ætuje grozotu i navuçe na se svoju prijaænju krivnju, pa ipak doåe k proroku da me upita preko njega, njemu øu ja, Gospodin, sam odgovoriti. 8 Upravit øu svoje lice protiv takva çovjeka i uçinit øu od njega primjer i prispodobu, iskorijenit øu ga iz svojega naroda. Onda øete spoznati da sam ja Gospodin.’ 9 Ako li se prorok dao zavesti i odgovori æto ja, Gospodin, zaveo sam toga proroka. Ja øu pruœiti svoju ruku protiv njega i iskorijenit øu ga iz svojega naroda Izraela. 10 Obojica øe okajati svoju krivnju. Krivnja onoga koji pita isto je tako velika kao krivnja prorokova, 11 da viæe kuøa Izraelova ne odstupi od mene i da se viæe ne uprlja svakojakim grijesima svojim, nego da bude moj narod i ja da budem njihov Bog,’ ” govori Gospodin Bog. 12 Rijeç Gospodinova mi je doæla, govoreøi: 13 “Sine çovjeçji, ako bi koja zemlja sagrijeæila protiv mene i poçinila vjerolomstvo, i ja onda pruœio svoju ruku protiv nje i slomio joj ætap kruha, pustio na nju glad i poubijao u njoj ljude i stoku. 14 I ako bi u njezinoj sredini bila ova tri çovjeka: Noa, Daniel i Job, oni bi pravednoæøu svojom izbavili samo sebe same, govori Gospodin Bog. 15 Ako bih pustio u zemlju divlje œivotinje i one je opustjele, te bi postala pustinja kojom viæe nitko ne bi prolazio zbog divljih œivotinja, 16 i ako bi se ona tri çovjeka nalazila u njezinoj sredini, kao æto sam œiv, govori Gospodin Bog, oni ne bi izbavili ni sinova ni køeri; oni bi se jedino izbavili, a zemlja bi postala pustinja. 17 Ili ako bih pustio maç na onu zemlju i zapovjedio: Maç neka proåe tu zemlju, i ako bi iz nje iskorijenio ljude i œivotinje, 18 i ako bi se ona tri çovjeka nalazila u njezinoj sredini, kao æto sam œiv, govori Gospodin Bog. Oni ne bi izbavili ni sinova ni køeri, nego bi se samo oni sami izbavili. 19 Ili ako bih pustio kugu u onu zemlju i svoju srdœbu izlio na nju krvlju da iskorijenim u njoj ljude i stoku,

Onda øete se utjeæiti za zlo æto sam done nothing without cause that I have done in it, ga pustio na Jeruzalem, za sve æto sam pustio na njega. says the LORD God. 23 Oni øe vas utjeæiti kad vidite njihov put i njihova djela. Tako øete spoznati da nisam bez uzroka uçinio æto sam god uçinio tomu gradu,” govori Gospodin Bog.

Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying: 2 Son of man, how is the wood of the vine better than any other wood, the vine branch which is among the trees of the forest? 3 Is wood taken from it to make any object? Or can men make a peg from it to hang any vessel on? 4 Instead, it is thrown into the fire for fuel; the fire devours both ends of it, and its middle is burned. Is it useful for any work? 5 Indeed, when it was whole, no object could be made from it. How much less will it be useful for any work when the fire has devoured it, and it is burned? 6 Therefore thus says the LORD God: ‘Like the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so I will give up the inhabitants of Jerusalem; 7 and I will set my face against them. They will go out from one fire, but another fire shall devour them. Then you shall know that I am the LORD, when I set my face against them. 8 Thus I will make the land desolate, because they have persisted in unfaithfulness,’ says the LORD God.”

16

Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 2 “Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations, 3 and say, Thus says the LORD God to Jerusalem: ‘Your birth and your nativity are from the land of Canaan; your father was an Amorite and your mother a Hittite. 4 As for your nativity, on the day you were born your navel cord was not cut, nor were you washed in water to cleanse you; you were not rubbed with salt nor swathed in swaddling cloths. 5 No eye pitied you, to do any of these things for you, to have compassion on you; but you were thrown out into the open field, when you yourself were loathed on the day you were born. 6 And when I passed by you and saw you struggling in your own blood, I said to you in your blood, ‘Live!’ Yes, I said to you in your blood, ‘Live!’ 7 I made you thrive like a plant in the field; and you grew, matured, and became very beautiful. Your breasts were formed, your hair grew, but you were naked and bare. 8 When I passed by you again and looked upon you, indeed your time was the time of love; so I spread my wing over you and covered your nakedness. Yes, I

Pjesma o vinovoj lozi

Tada mi je doæla rijeç Gospodinova, govoreøi: 2 “Sine çovjeçji, æto je drvo vinove loze prema svakom drugom drvu koje se nalazi meåu stablima u æumi? 3 Uzima li se od nje drvo da se napravi neka stvar, ili sei od nje naprav klin da se objesi o njemu kakva posuda? 4 I kad se baci u oganj da izgori, i kad oganj spali oba njezina kraja i sredinu joj izgori, moœe li joæ çemu posluœiti? 5 Kad se nije mogla upotrijebiti ni za kakav rad, dok je joæ bila cijela, koliko øe se joæ manje upotrijebiti za kakav rad kad je oganj proœdere i izgori. 6 Zato ovako govori Gospodin Bog: ‘Kako sam odredio vinovu lozu meåu stablima u æumi za oganj da je pojede, tako øu uçiniti sa stanovnicima jeruzalemskim. 7 Upravit øu svoje lice protiv njih: ognju su utekli, ali øe ih oganj proœdrijeti. Onda øete spoznati da sam ja Gospodin, kad okrenem svoje lice protiv njih. 8 Tako øu uçiniti njihovu zemlju pustinjom, jer su nastavili s nevjerom,’ govori Gospodin Bog. Vjerolomstvo Jeruzalema, kazna i pomilovanje

I opet mi je doæla rijeç Gospodinova, govoreøi: 2 “Sine çovjeçji, prikaœi Jeruzalemu njegove grozote, 3 i kaœi: Ovako govori Gospodin Bog Jeruzalemu: ‘Tvoj poçetak i tvoj rod iz zemlje su Kanaanaca; otac je tvoj Amorejac, a tvoja majka Hitejka. 4 A o tvojem roåenju, na dan kad si se rodila nije ti odrezan pupak, nisi çistom vodom oprana, ni solju natrvena ni pelenama povijena. 5 Oko na tebe nije pripazilo da ti uçini takve stvari i da ti se smiluje, nego si bila baçena na zemlju kad si se rodila, tako su malo cijenili tvoj œivot. 6 Onda sam proæao pokraj tebe i vidio te gdje se valjaæ u svojoj krvi i rekao sam ti u tvojoj krvi: Jest, rekao sam ti u tvojoj krvi: ‘Ostani na œivotu!’ 7 Uçinio sam te bez broja poput trave u polju. Ti si rasla i postala velika i doæla si do pune ljepote. Prsa su tvoja ojaçala, kosa je tvoja jako izrasla, ali si bila joæ uvijek gola i naga. 8 Onda sam proæao pokraj tebe i vidio te.

And the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 2 “Son of man, pose a riddle, and speak a parable to the house of Israel, 3 and say, ‘Thus says the LORD God: A great eagle with large wings and long pinions, full of feathers of various colors, came to Lebanon and took from the cedar the highest branch. 4 He cropped off its topmost young twig and carried it to a land of trade; he set it in a city of merchants. 5 Then he took some of the seed of the land and planted it in a fertile field; he placed it by abundant waters and set it like a willow tree. 6 And it grew and became a spreading vine of low stature; its branches turned toward him, but its roots were under it. So it became a vine, brought forth branches, and put forth shoots. 7 But there was another great eagle with large wings and many feathers; and behold, this vine bent its roots toward him, and stretched its branches toward him, from the garden terrace where it had been planted, that he might water it. 8 It was planted in good soil by many waters, to bring forth branches, bear fruit, and become a majestic vine.’ 9 Say, ‘Thus says the LORD God: Will it thrive? will he not pull up its roots, cut off its fruit, and leave it to wither? All of its spring leaves will wither, and no great power or many people will be needed to pluck it up by its roots.

Sudbina kuøe Davidove

I doæla mi je rijeç Gospodinova, govoreøi: 2 “Sine çovjeçji, zadaj kuøi Izraelovoj zagonetku i predloœi joj prispodobu! 3 Kaœi: ‘Ovako govori Gospodin Bog: Orao velik s krilima velikim, s mahaljkama dugim, pun perja æarena, doæao je na Lebanon i uzeo vrh cedrov. 4 Odlomio najgornju mladicu, odnio ju u zemlju trgovaçku i stavi ju u grad trgovaçki. 5 Onda uzeo sjemena one zemlje i zasadio ga u njivu, stavi ga kao kakvu vrbu pokraj obilne vode. 6 I izraste i od niska rasta postane bujni trs. Loze njegove su se pruœale k njemu, a korijenje njegovo ostalo pod njim. Tako je postao trs, pustio mladice i potjerao lozu. 7 A bio je joæ jedan drugi orao velik s krilima velikim i perjem jakim i gle, taj çokot pruœi za njim korijenje svoje i grane svoje potjera prema njemu da bi ga napajao viæe negoli brazda u kojoj je bio zasaåen. 8 A ipak je bio zasaåen na dobru tlu, kraj obilne vode, da tjera lozu i raåa rod i bude krasan trs. 9 Zato kaœi: Ovako govori Gospodin Bog: Moœe li napredovati? Neøe li mu onaj orao poçupati korijenje i rod mu odsjeøi tako da mu se posuæe sve mlade grane? On øe se posuæiti i neøe trebati silne miæice i mnogoga naroda da ga iæçupa iz korijenja njegova.’ 10 Æto, posaåen je, ali hoøe li napredovati?

And the word of the LORD came to me again, saying, 2 What do you mean when you use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying: ‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge’? 3 As I live, says the LORD God, “You shall no longer use this proverb in Israel. 4 Behold, all souls are mine; the soul of the father as well as the soul of the son is mine; the soul who sins shall die. 5 But if a man is just and does what is lawful and right; 6 if he has not eaten on the mountains, nor lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, nor defiled his neighbor’s wife, nor approached a woman during her impurity;

I opet mi je doæla rijeç Gospodinova, govoreøi: 2 “Kako dolazite do toga da u zemlji Izraelovoj imate u ustima ovu rijeç podrugljivu: ‘Kiselo groœåe jeli su oçevi, a djeci utrnuli zubi?’ 3 Tako ja bio œiv, govori Gospodin Bog, nitko od vas neøe viæe u Izraelu imati u ustima tu rijeç podrugljivu. 4 Gle, sve duæe pripadaju meni; duæa oca kao duæa sina, pripadaju meni.

Moreover take up a lamentation for the princes of Israel, 2 and say: ‘What is your mother? A lioness: she lay down among the lions; among the young lions she nourished her cubs. 3 She brought up one of her cubs, and he became a young lion; he learned to catch prey, and he devoured men. 4 The nations also heard of him; he was trapped in their pit, and they brought him with chains to the land of Egypt. 5 When she saw that she waited, that her hope was lost, she took another of her cubs and made him a young lion. 6 He roved among the lions, and became a young lion; he learned to catch prey; he devoured men. 7 He knew their desolate places, and laid waste their cities; the land with its fullness was desolated by the noise of his roaring. 8 Then the nations set against him from the provinces on every side, and spread their net over him; he was trapped in their pit. 9 They put him in a cage with chains, and brought him to the king of Babylon; they brought him in nets, that his voice should no longer be heard on the mountains of Israel. 10 Your mother was like a vine in your bloodline, Planted by the waters, fruitful and full of branches because of many waters. 11 She had strong branches for scepters of rulers. She towered in stature above the thick branches, and was seen in her height amid the dense foliage. 12 But she was plucked up in fury, she was cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried her fruit. Her strong branches were broken and withered; the fire consumed them. 13 And now she is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty land. 14 Fire has come out from a rod of her branches and devoured her fruit, so that she has no strong branch–a scepter for ruling.’ ” This is a lamentation, and has become a lamentation.

Terrors including the sword will be against my people; therefore strike your thigh. 13 Because it is a testing, and what if the sword despises even the scepter?

The word of the LOR D came again to me, saying: 2 “Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother. 3 They committed harlotry in Egypt, they committed harlotry in their youth; their breasts were there embraced, their virgin bosom was there pressed. 4 Their names: Oholah the elder and Oholibah her sister; they were mine, and they bore sons and daughters. As for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem is Oholibah. 5 Oholah played the harlot even though she was mine; and she lusted for her lovers, the neighboring Assyrians, 6 who were clothed in purple, captains and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding on horses. 7 Thus she committed her harlotry with them, all of them choice men of Assyria; and with all for whom she lusted, with all their idols, she defiled herself. 8 She has never given up her harlotry brought from Egypt, for in her youth they had lain with her, pressed her virgin bosom, and poured out their immorality upon her. 9 Therefore I have delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, for whom she lusted. 10 They uncovered her nakedness, took away her sons and daughters, and slew her with the sword; She became a byword among women, for they had executed judgment on her. 11 Now although her sister Oholibah saw this, she became more corrupt in her inordinate love than she, and in her harlotry more corrupt than her sister’s harlotry. 12 She lusted for the neighboring Assyrians, Captains and rulers, clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding on horses, all of them desirable young men. 13 Then I saw that she was defiled; both took the same way. 14 But she increased her harlotry; she looked at men portrayed on the wall, images of Chaldeans portrayed in vermilion, 15 girded with belts around their waists, flowing turbans on their heads, all of them looking like captains, in the manner of the Babylonians of Chaldea, the land of their nativity. 16 As soon as her eyes saw them, she lusted for them and sent messengers to them in Chaldea. 17 Then the Babylonians came to her, into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their immorality; so she was defiled by them, and alienated herself from them. 18 She revealed her harlotry and uncovered her nakedness. then I alienated myself from her, as I had alienated myself from her sister. 19 Yet she multiplied her harlotry in calling to remem-

Dvije opake sestre

I opet mi je doæla rijeç Gospodinova, govoreøi: 2 “Sine çovjeçji, tako su bile dvije œene, køeri iste majke. 3 One su çinile zlo u Egiptu; u mladosti svojoj çinile su blud. Ondje su dirali njihova njedra i stiskali njihove djeviçanske dojke. 4 Ohola se zvala starija, Oholiba se zvala sestra njezina. One su postale moje i rodile su sinove i køeri. Njihova imena znaçe Ohola: Samarija, Oholiba: Jeruzalem. 5 Ohola je çinila zlo, premda je pripadala meni, i bila se zaljubila u ljubavnike svoje, Asirce, koji su joj se pribliœili. 6 Odjeveni u grimiz, namjesnici i glavari, sve pristali mladiøi, konjanici ponositi na konju. 7 Njima se podala u svojem bludniçenju, svim izabranim Asircima, i oneçistila se svim idolima svih onih u koje se zaljubila. 8 Ali nije pustila svoje bludniçenje s Egipøanina, jer su ovi bili s njom zlo çinili u mladosti njezinoj, doticali se djeviçanskih njedara njezinih i izlijevali na nju svoj blud. 9 Zato sam je dao u ruke njezinim ljubavnicima, u ruke Asircima, u koje se bila zaljubila. 10 Oni su ju osramotili, uzeli joj sinove i køeri i nju samu maçem pogubili. Ona je postala œenama straæilo kad su tako na njoj sud izvræili. 11 Sestra njezina Oholiba vidjela je to i çinila je joæ gore bludniçenje negoli ona i bila je joæ gora u zloøi svojoj od bludnice svoje sestre. 12 Ona je bila zaljubljena u Asirce, koji su joj se pribliœili, namjesnici i glavari, odjeveni u grimiz, konjanici ponositi na konju, sve pristali mladiøi. 13 Vidio sam da se uprljala i ona; obje su poæle istim putom. 14 Ova je bludniçila joæ gore. Ona je vidjela ljude naslikane na zidu, slike Kaldejaca naslikane crvenom bojom. 15 Oko bedara nosili su pojas. Glava im je bila pokrivena vijoritim çalmama. Svi su bili naoçi kao glavari, prilika babilonskih sinova, rodom iz zemlje Kaldeje. 16 Onda se zaljubila u njih, kad ih je vidjela, i poslala je poslanike k njima u Kaldejsku. 17 I sinovi babilonski dolazili su k njoj na blud i uprljali je neçistoøom svojom; tako se ona oneçistila s njima i odstranila se od njih. 18 Ali se otkrila neçistoøa njezina, sramota je njezina izbila na javu. Onda je ona meni dodijala kao æto mi je bila dodijala sestra njezina. 19 A ona je sve gore bludniçila spominjuøi se dana mladosti svoje, kad je çinila blud u Egiptu. 20 Œudjela je za bestidnicima çija je muæka snaga bila kao u magaraca i izljev kao u œdrijebaca. 21 Jest, ti si ginula za neçistoøom mladosti

Again, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 2 “Son of man, write down the name of the day, this very day–the king of Babylon started his siege against Jerusalem this very day. 3 And utter a parable to the rebellious house, and say to them, ‘Thus says the LORD God: Put on a pot, set it on, and also pour water into it. 4 Gather pieces of meat in it, every good piece, the thigh and the shoulder. Fill it with choice cuts; 5 take the choice of the flock. also pile fuel bones under it, make it boil well, and let the cuts simmer in it. 6 Therefore thus says the LORD God: Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose scum is in it, and whose scum is not gone from it! Bring it out piece by piece, on which no lot has fallen. 7 For her blood is in her midst; she set it on top of a rock; she did not pour it on the ground, to cover it with dust. 8 That it may raise up fury and take vengeance, I have set her blood on top of a rock, that it may not be covered.” 9 Therefore thus says the LORD God: Woe to the bloody city! I too will make the pyre great. 10 Heap on the wood, kindle the fire; cook the meat well, Mix in the spices, and let the cuts be burned up. 11 Then set the pot empty on the coals, that it may become hot and its bronze may burn, that its filthiness may be melted in it, that its scum may be consumed. 12 She has wearied herself with lies, and her great scum has not gone from her. Let her scum be in the fire! 13 In your filthiness is lewdness. Because I have purged you, and you were not purged, you will not be

Zaråali kotao. Propast Jeruzalema

I doæla mi je opet rijeç Gospodinova u devetoj godini, u desetom mjesecu, desetoga dana toga mjeseca, govoreøi: 2 “Sine çovjeçji, toçno zapiæi ime ovoga dana! Upravo ovoga dana navaljuje babilonski kralj na Jeruzalem. 3 Kaœi tomu nepokornom rodu ovu prispodobu: ‘Ovako govori Gospodin Bog: Stavi lonac i pristavi ga, onda nalij u njega vode! 4 Stavi u njega komade mesa, sve dobre komade, stegno i pleøe! Napuni ga najboljim kostima! 5 Uzmi najbolje iz stada i naloœi cjepanice ispod njega! Iskuhaj dobre komade mesa, neka se i kosti raskuhaju u njemu! 6 Zato ovako govori Gospodin Bog: Teæko gradu krvniçkom, kotlu na kojemu stoji hråa i s kojega ne silazi hråa!

Ne prolijeva je na zemlju, da se pokrije prahom. 8 Da se raspali gnjev, te se osvetim, puætam da se prolijeva njegova krv na gol kamen, da se ne pokrije. 9 Zato ovako govori Gospodin Bog: Teæko gradu krvniçkom!

And it happened in the eleventh year, on the first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 2 “Son of man, because Tyre has said against Jerusalem, ‘Aha! She is broken who was the gateway of the peoples; now she is turned over to me; I shall be filled; she is laid waste.’ 3 Therefore thus says the LORD God: ‘Behold, I am against you, O Tyre, and will cause many nations to come up against you, as the sea causes its waves to come up. 4 And they shall destroy the walls of Tyre and break down her towers; I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her like the top of a rock. 5 It shall be a place for spreading nets in the midst of the sea, for I have spoken,’ says the LORD God; ‘it shall become plunder for the nations. 6 Also her daughter villages which are in the fields shall be slain by the sword. Then they shall know that I am the LORD.’ 7 For thus says the LORD God: ‘Behold, I will bring against Tyre from the north Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, king of kings, with horses, with chariots, and with horsemen, and an army with many people. 8 He will slay with the sword your daughter villages in the fields; he will heap up a siege mound against you, build a wall against you, and raise a defense against you. 9 He will direct his battering rams against your walls, and with his axes he will break down your towers. 10 Because of the abundance of his horses, their dust will cover you; your walls will shake at the noise of the horsemen, the wagons, and the chariots, when he enters your gates, as men enter a city that has been breached. 11 With the hooves of his horses he will trample all your streets; he will slay your people by the sword, and your strong pillars will fall to the ground.

Proroçanstvo protiv Tira

Dogodilo se u jedanaestoj godini, u jedanaestom mjesecu, prvoga dana toga mjeseca doæla mi je rijeç Gospodinova, govoreøi: 2 “Sine çovjeçji, jer Tir kliçe nad Jeruzalemom: ‘Ha! Vrata su narodima razbijena! Meni su se otvorila. Ja øu se napuniti. Jer su ona opustjela.’ 3 Zato ovako govori Gospodin Bog: ‘Evo, Tire, ja koraçam protiv tebe, vodim protiv tebe mnoge narode, kao æto more dovaIja valove svoje. 4 Oni øe razoriti zidove Tira.

And the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 2 “Now, son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyre, 3 and say to Tyre, You who are situated at the entrance of the sea, merchant of the peoples on many coastlands, thus says the LORD God: O Tyre, you have said, ‘I am perfect in beauty.’ 4 Your borders are in the midst of the seas. Your builders have perfected your beauty.’ 5 They made all your planks of fir trees from Senir; they took a cedar from Lebanon to make you a mast. 6 Of oaks from Bashan they made your oars; the company of Ashurites have inlaid your planks with ivory from the coasts of Cyprus. 7 Fine embroidered linen from Egypt was what you spread for your sail; blue and purple from the coasts of Elishah was what covered you. 8 Inhabitants of Sidon and Arvad were your oarsmen; your own wise men, O Tyre, were in you; they became your pilots. 9 Elders of Gebal and its wise men were in you to caulk your seams; all the ships of the sea and their oarsmen were in you to market your merchandise. 10 Those from Persia, Lydia, and Put were in your army as men of war; they hung shield and helmet in you; they gave splendor to you. 11 Men of Arvad with your army were on your walls all around, and the men of Gammad were in your towers; they hung their shields on your walls all around; they made your beauty perfect. 12 Tarshish was your merchant because of your

Naricanje za Tirom

Savræenu ljepotu dali su ti graditelji tvoji. 5 Od çempresa senirskih sagradile se sve oplate tvoje.

The word of the LORD came to me again, saying, 2 “Son of man, say to the prince of Tyre, ‘Thus says the LORD God: Because your heart is lifted up, and you say, I am a god, I sit in the seat of gods, in the midst of the seas,’ yet you are a man, and not a god, though you set your heart as the heart of a god 3 (Behold, you are wiser than Daniel! There is no secret that can be hidden from you! 4 With your wisdom and your understanding you have gained riches for yourself, and gathered gold and silver into your treasuries; 5 by your great wisdom in trade you have increased your riches, and your heart is lifted up because of your riches), 6 Therefore thus says the LORD God: ‘Because you have set your heart as the heart of a god, 7 behold, therefore, I will bring strangers against you, the most terrible of the nations; and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom, and defile your splendor. 8 They shall throw you down into the Pit, and you shall die the death of the slain in the midst of the seas. 9 Will you still say before him who slays you, ‘I am a god’? But you shall be a man, and not a god, in the hand of him who slays you. 10 You shall die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of aliens; for I have spoken, says the LORD God.” 11 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 12 “Son of man, take up a lamentation for the king of Tyre, and say to him, ‘Thus says the LORD God: You were the seal of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. 13 You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone was your covering: the sardius, topaz, and diamond, beryl, onyx, and jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and emerald with gold. The workmanship of your timbrels and pipes was prepared for you on the day you were created. 14 You were the anointed cherub who covers; I established you; you were on the holy mountain of God; you walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones. 15 You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created, till iniquity was found in you. 16 By the abundance of your trading you became filled with violence within, and you sinned; therefore I cast you as a profane thing out of the mountain of God; and I destroyed you, O covering cherub, from the midst of the fiery stones. 17 Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor; I cast you to the ground, I laid you before kings, that they might gaze at you. 18 You defiled your sanctuaries by the multitude of your iniquities, by the iniquity of your trading; therefore I brought fire from your midst; it devoured you, and I turned you to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all who saw you. 19 All who knew you among the peoples are astonished at you; you have become a horror, and shall be no more forever.’ ” 20 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 21 “Son of man, set your face toward Sidon, and prophesy against her, 22 and say, ‘Thus says the LORD God: Behold, I am against you, O Sidon; I will be glorified in your midst;

Sud Boœji i tuœaljka nad vladarom tirskim

Nema tajne koja bi tebi bila skrivena. 4 Mudroæøu svojom i razborom svojim stekao si bogatstvo sebi i nakupio zlata i srebra u riznice svoje. 5 Velikom mudroæøu svojom u trgovini svojoj umnoœio si bogatstvo svoje i ohol si postao zbog bogatstva svojega. 6 Zato ovako govori Gospodin Bog: ‘Jer se praviæ bogom, 7 evo, zato øu dovesti na tebe strance, najljuøe izmeåu naroda. Oni øe trgnuti maçeve svoje na ljepotu tvoju mudroæøu steçenu i uprljat øe sjaj tvoj. 8 Svalit øe te u jamu i umrijet øeæ okrutnom smrøu pobijenih usred mora. 9 Hoøeæ li i onda joæ reøi pred krvnicima svojim ‘Ja sam bog!’ kad si ipak samo çovjek a ne bog u ruci onoga koji te ubija? 10 Umrijet øeæ smrøu neobrezanih od ruke doæljaka, jer ja sam to rekao,” govori Gospodin Bog. 11 Nadalje doæla mi je rijeç Gospodinova, govoreøi: 12 “Sine çovjeçji, zapjevaj tuœaljku nad kraljem tirskim i kaœi mu: ‘Ovako govori Gospodin Bog: Ti si peçat savræenosti, pun mudrosti i savræene ljepote. 13 Boravio si u Edenu, vrtu Boœjem. Sve drago kamenje bilo je tvoja odjeøa: sard, topaz i dijamant, beril, oniks i jaspis, safir, rubin i smaragd sa zlatom. Okov tvoj i ures tvoj bili su od zlata. Npravljeni su bili onaj dan kad si se rodio. 14 Ti si bio pomazan straœar kerubin; za to sam te bio postavio. Ti si bio na svetoj gori Boœjoj, hodio si posred kamenja ognjenoga. 15 Savræen si bio na svojim putovima od dana kad si se rodio, dok se nije pronaæla na tebi opaçina. 16 Nutrina je tvoja od mnoge trgovine tvoje bila puna opaçine i sagrijeæio si. Onda sam te zbacio s gore Boœje. Straœar kerubin protjerao te je iz sredine kamenja ognjenoga. 17 Ohol si bio postao zbog ljepote svoje. Ostavio si mudrost svoju zbog sjaja svojega. Bacio sam te dolje na zemlju i predao sam te kraljevima da na tebi pasu svoje oçi. 18 Brojem svojih grijeha, nepravdom u trgovini svojoj bio si oneçistio svetiæta svoja. Zato sam izveo oganj iz sredine tvoje, koji te je proœderao. U pepeo poloœio sam te na zemlji pred oçima svih koji su te vidjeli. 19 Svi, koji su te poznavali meåu narodima, ustraæeni su nad tobom. Straæno si skonçao i iæçeznuo si zauvijek.’” 20 Rijeç Gospodinova mi je doæla, govoreøi: 21 “Sine çovjeçji, upravi svoje lice prema Sidonu i prorokuj protiv njega, 22 i kaœi: ‘Ovako govori Gospodin Bog: Evo, ja øu iziøi protiv tebe, o Sidone, i proslavit øu se

In the tenth year, in the tenth month, on the twelfth day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 2 “Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against all Egypt.” 3 Speak, and say, “Thus says the LORD God: Behold, I am against you, O Pharaoh king of Egypt, O great monster who lies in the midst of his rivers, who has said, ‘My River is my own; I have made it for myself.’ 4 But I will put hooks in your jaws, and cause the fish of your rivers to stick to your scales; I will bring you up out of the midst of your rivers, and all the fish in your rivers will stick to your scales. 5 I will leave you in the wilderness, you and all the fish of your rivers; you shall fall on the open field; you shall not be picked up or gathered. I have given you as food to the beasts of the field and to the birds of the heavens. 6 Then all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the LORD, because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel. 7 When they took hold of you with the hand, you broke and tore all their shoulders; when they leaned on you, you broke and made all their loins shake.” 8 Therefore thus says the LORD God: “Surely I will bring a sword upon you and cut off from you man and beast. 9 And the land of Egypt shall become desolate and waste; then they will know that I am the LORD, because he said, ‘The River is mine, and I have made it.’ 10 Indeed, therefore, I am against you and against your rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from Migdol to Syene, as far as the border of Ethiopia. 11 Neither foot of man shall pass through it nor foot of beast pass through it, and it shall be uninhabited forty years. 12 I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate; and among the cities that are laid waste, her cities shall be desolate forty years; and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them throughout the countries.” 13 Yet, thus says the LORD God: “At the end of forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the peoples among whom they were scattered. 14 I will bring back the captives of Egypt and cause

Proroçanstvo protiv Egipta

U desetoj godini, u desetom mjesecu, dvanaestoga dana toga mjeseca doæla mi je rijeç Gospodinova, govoreøi: 2 “Sine çovjeçji, upravi svoje lice prema faraonu, kralju egipatskom, i prorokuj protiv njega i protiv svega Egipta!” 3 Kaœi ovo: ‘Ovako govori Gospodin Bog: Evo, ja øu iziøi protiv tebe, faraone, kralju egipatski, ti krokodile veliki! Ti leœiæ meåu Rijeçnim rukavcima svojim i govoriæ: Rijeka je moja vlastita; ja sam ju sam naçinio. 4 Ja øu staviti kuke u çeljusti tvoje i uçinit øu da se ribe rijeçnih rukavaca tvojih nahvataju na ljuske tvoje, i izvuøi øu te ih rijeçnih rukavaca tvojih zajedno sa svim ribama rijeçnih rukavaca tvojih æto su se nahvatale na ljuskama tvojim. 5 Onda øu te baciti u pustinju sa svim ribama rijeçnih rukavaca tvojih.

The word of the LORD came to me again, saying, 2 “Son of man, prophesy and say, ‘Thus says the LORD God: Wail, Woe to the day!’ 3 For the day is near, even the day of the LORD is near; it will be a day of clouds, the time of the Gentiles. 4 The sword shall come upon Egypt, and great anguish shall be in Ethiopia, when the slain fall in Egypt, and they take away her wealth, and her foundations are broken down. 5 Ethiopia, Libya, Lydia, all the mingled people, Chub, and the men of the lands who are allied, shall fall with them by the sword.” 6 Thus says the LORD: “Those who uphold Egypt shall fall, and the pride of her power shall come down. From Migdol to Syene those within her shall fall by the sword, says the LORD God. 7 They shall be desolate in the midst of the desolate countries, and her cities shall be in the midst of the cities that are laid waste. 8 Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I have set a fire in Egypt and all her helpers are destroyed. 9 On that day messengers shall go forth from me in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid, and great anguish shall come upon them, as on the day of Egypt; for indeed it is coming!” 10 Thus says the LORD God: “I will also make a multitude of Egypt to cease by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. 11 He and his people with him, the most terrible of the nations, shall be brought to destroy the land; they shall draw their swords against Egypt, and fill the land with the slain. 12 I will make the rivers dry, and sell the land into the hand of the wicked; I will make the land waste, and all that is in it, by the hand of aliens. I, the LORD, have spoken.” 13 Thus says the LORD God: “I will also destroy the idols, and cause the images to cease from Noph; there shall no longer be princes from the land of Egypt; I will put fear in the land of Egypt.

Dan Gospodinov nad Egiptom

Doæla mi je opet rijeç Gospodinova, govoreøi: 2 “Sine çovjeçji, prorokuj i kaœi: ‘Ovako govori Gospodin Bog: Jauçite, teæko danu!’ 3 Jer je blizu dan, blizu je dan Gospodinov, mraçni dan. On øe biti vrijeme kazne narodima. 4 Maç øe doøi u Egipat; u Kuæu øe vladati tjeskoba vrlo bolna kad stanu padati pobijeni Egipøani, kad se budu odvlaçila velika dobra njihova i raskopavali temelji njihovi. 5 Kuæ, (Etiopija) Put, (Libija) Lud, (Lidija) svi Arabi, Kub i drugi saveznici popadat øe s njima od maça.” 6 Ovako govori Gospodin: “Popadat øe potpornji Egipta i sruæit øe se ponosna moø njegova. Od Migdola do Siene popadat øe od maça njegovi ljudi, govori Gospodin Bog. 7 Zemlja øe njegova biti najpustija od svih zemalja i njegovi gradovi najpustiji od svih gradova. 8 Oni øe spoznati da sam ja Gospodin kad stavim oganj na Egipat i svi se pomoønici njegovi satru. 9 U onaj øe dan iøi preda mnom glasnici na laåama da trgnu Etiopljane iz njihove bezbriœnosti. Tjeskoba vrlo bolna doøi øe na njih kao na nesretni dan Egipta, jer evo, on je doæao.” 10 Ovako govori Gospodin Bog: “Uçinit øu kraj Ijudstvu u Egiptu rukom Nebukadnezara, babilonskoga kralja. 11 On i njegov narod, najokrutniji meåu narodima, doøi øe i zemlju øe poharati.

Ja, Gospodin, to sam rekao.” 13 Ovako govori Gospodin Bog: “Uniætit øu idole i potrt øu kipove u Nofu.

Now it happened in the eleventh year, in the third month, on the first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 2 “Son of man, say to Pharaoh king of Egypt and to his multitude: ‘Whom are you like in your greatness? 3 Indeed Assyria was a cedar in Lebanon, with fine branches that shaded the forest, and of high stature; and its top was among the thick boughs. 4 The waters made it grow; underground waters gave it height, with their rivers running around the place where it was planted, and sent out rivulets to all the trees of the field. 5 Therefore its height was exalted above all the trees of the field; its boughs were multiplied, and its branches became long because of the abundance of water, as it sent them out. 6 All the birds of the heavens made their nests in its boughs; under its branches all the beasts of the field brought forth their young; and in its shadow all great nations made their home. 7 Thus it was beautiful in greatness and in the length of its branches, because its roots reached to abundant waters. 8 The cedars in the garden of God could not hide it; the fir trees were not like its boughs, and the chestnut trees were not like its branches; no tree in the garden of God was like it in beauty. 9 I made it beautiful with a multitude of branches, so that all the trees of Eden envied it, that were in the garden of God.’

Faraon, ponosni cedar

Rijeke su njegove tekle oko njegova stabla i puætala je potoke svoje k svim stablima poljskim. 5 Zato je rast njegov nadvisio sva stabla poljska. Umnoœili su se ogranci njegovi, produœile se njegove grane zbog obilne vode, rastao je u æirinu. 6 Na granama su njegovim svijale gnijezda svakojake nebeske ptice. Pod ograncima su njegovim svakojake poljske œivotinje legle mlade svoje. 7 Bio je lijep svojom veliçinom s dugim svojim granjem, jer je njegov korijen imao obilno vode. 8 Cedri u vrtu Boœjem nisu ga mogli zakloniti. Çempresi sa svojim granama nisu mu se mogli s njim usporediti. Makljeni nisu imali takve grane kao on.

And it happened in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, on the first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 2 “Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say to him: ‘You are like a young lion among the nations, and you are like a monster in the seas, bursting forth in your rivers, troubling the waters with your feet, and fouling their rivers.’ 3 Thus says the LORD God: ‘I will therefore spread my net over you with a company of many people, And they will draw you up in my net. 4 Then I will leave you on the land; I will cast you out on the open fields, and cause to settle on you all the birds of the heavens. And with you I will fill the beasts of the whole earth. 5 I will lay your flesh on the mountains, and fill the valleys with your carcass. 6 I will also water the land with the flow of your blood, even to the mountains; and the riverbeds will be full of you. 7 When I put out your light, I will cover the heavens, and make its stars dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light. 8 All the bright lights of the heavens I will make dark over you, and bring darkness upon your land, says the LORD God. 9 I will also trouble the hearts of many peoples, when

Dogodilo se dvanaestoj godini, u dvanaestom mjesecu, prvoga dana toga mjeseca doæla mi je rijeç Gospodinova, govoreøi: 2 “Sine çovjeçji, podigni tuœaljku za faraonom, egipatskim kraljem, i kaœi mu: ‘Laviøu meåu narodima, ti si bio i propao! A bio si ipak kao krokodil u moru: ætrcao si vodu iz svojih nozdrva, mutio si vodu svojim nogama, ritao si se na valove njezine.’ 3 Ovako govori Gospodin Bog: ‘Razapet øu mreœu svoju nad tobom s çetom mnogih naroda koji te izvlaçe lovnom mreœom mojom. 4 Bacit øu te onda na zemlju i krhnut øu te na tvrdu zemlju. Pustit øu sve nebeske ptice da sjedaju na tebe i nasitit øu tobom œivotinje cijele zemlje. 5 Donijet øu meso tvoje na gore i napunit øu doline strvinom tvojom. 6 Napojit øu zemlju krvlju tvojom do na gore.

Again the word of the LORD came to me,

saying, 2 “Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and say to them: ‘When I bring the sword upon a land, and the people of the land take a man from their territory and make him their watchman, 3 when he sees the sword coming upon the land, if he blows the trumpet and warns the people, 4 then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet and does not take warning, if the sword comes and takes him away, his blood shall be on his own head. 5 He heard the sound of the trumpet, but did not take warning; his blood shall be upon himself. But he who takes warning will save his life. 6 But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, and the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at the watchman’s hand.’ 7 So you, son of man: I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore you shall hear a word from my mouth and warn them for me. 8 When I say to the wicked, ‘O wicked man, you shall surely die!’ and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand. 9 Nevertheless if you warn the wicked to turn from his way, and he does not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul. 10 Therefore you, O son of man, say to the house of Israel: ‘Thus you say, If our transgressions and our sins lie upon us, and we pine away in them, how can we then live?’ 11 Say to them: ‘As I live, says the LORD God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn, turn from your evil ways! For why should you die, O house of Israel?’ 12 Therefore you, O son of man, say to the children of your people: ‘The righteousness of the righteous man shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression; as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall because of it in the day that he turns from his wickedness; nor shall the righteous be able to live because of his righteousness in the day that he sins.’ 13 When I say to the righteous that he shall surely live, but he trusts in his own righteousness and commits iniquity, none of his righteous works shall be remembered; but because of the iniquity that he has committed, he shall die. 14 Again, when I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely

Odgovornost proroka i prognanika

Doæla mi je opet rijeç Gospodinova, govoreøi: 2 “Sine çovjeçji, govori sinovima svojega naroda i kaœi im: ‘Kad pustim na koju zemlju maç, i narod one zemlje uzeo koga izmeåu sebe i postavio ga sebi za straœara, 3 i on vidi maç gdje dolazi na zemlju, zatrubi u trubu i opomene narod, 4 i ako tko çuje glas trube, a nije se dao opomenuti, i maç doåe i pogubi ga: krv øe njegova doøi na njegovu glavu. 5 On je çuo glas trube, a nije se dao opomenuti; krv øe njegova doøi na njega. A onaj koji se dade opomenuti duæu si svoju spasi. 6 Ako li straœar vidi maç gdje dolazi i ne zatrubi u trubu, i narod ne bude opomenut, i maç doåe i pogubi koga izmeåu njih, taj øe doduæe poginuti za svoju krivnju, ali øu krv njegovu traœiti iz ruke straœarove.’ 7 I ja sam tebe, sine çovjeçji, postavio straœarom kuøi Izraelovoj. Kad çujeæ rijeç iz mojih usta, opominji ih u Ime moje! 8 Kad kaœem bezboœniku: ‘Bezboœniçe, moraæ poginuti,’ a ti to ne govoriæ da odvratiæ bezboœnika od zla njegova puta, taj øe bezboœnik doduæe poginuti za svoju krivnju, ali øu krv njegovu zatraœiti iz tvoje ruke. 9 Ako li si opomenuo bezboœnika da se vrati sa svojega puta, a on se nije vratio sa svojega puta, on øe poginuti za svoju krivnju, a ti si spasio svoj œivot. 10 A ti, sine çovjeçji, kaœi kuøi Izraelovoj: ‘Ovako ste vi govorili: Naæa zlodjela i naæi grijesi na nama su; zbog njih propadamo. Kako bismo mogli joæ œivjeti?’ 11 Kaœi im: ‘Tako bio ja œiv, govori Gospodin Bog, nije mi milo da umre bezboœnik, nego da se vrati bezboœnik sa svojega puta i da œivi. Vratite se, vratite se sa svojih zlih putova, jer zaæto hoøete umrijeti, kuøo Izraelova?’ 12 Zato, sine çovjeçji, kaœi sinovima svojega naroda: ‘Pravednost pravednikova neøe ga spasiti u dan kad sagrijeæi, i bezboœnost bezboœnikova neøe ga upropastiti u dan kad se vrati od bezboœnosti svoje, ali i pravednik ne moœe zbog pravednosti svoje ostati na œivotu u dan kad sagrijeæi.’ 13 Kad obeøam pravedniku da øe ostati na œivotu, i on se osloni na pravednost svoju i uçini zlo, neøe se viæe spominjati sva pravednost njegova; zbog grijeha koji je poçinio, umrijet øe.

Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 2 “Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir and prophesy against it, 3 and say to it, ‘Thus says the LORD God: Behold, O Mount Seir, I am against you; I will stretch out my hand against you, and make you most desolate; 4 I shall lay your cities waste, and you shall be desolate. Then you shall know that I am the LORD. 5 Because you have had an ancient hatred, and have shed the blood of the sons of Israel by the power of the sword at the time of their calamity, when their iniquity came to an end, 6 therefore, as I live, says the LORD God, I will prepare you for blood, and blood shall pursue you; since you have not hated blood, therefore blood shall pursue you. 7 Thus I will make Mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it the one who leaves and the one who returns. 8 And I will fill its mountains with the slain; on your hills and in your valleys and in all your ravines those who are slain by the sword shall fall. 9 I will make you perpetually desolate, and your cities shall be uninhabited; then you shall know that I am the LORD.’ 10 Because you have said, ‘These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess them,’ although the LORD was there, 11 therefore, as I live, says the LORD God, I will do according to your anger and according to the envy which you showed in your hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them when I judge you. 12 Then you shall know that I am the LORD. I have heard all your blasphemies which you have spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, ‘They are desolate; they are given to us to consume.’

Propast Edoma

Nadalje doæla mi je rijeç Gospodinova, govoreøi: 2 “Sine çovjeçji, upravi svoje lice prema Gori Seiru i prorokuj o njemu, 3 i kaœi mu: ‘Ovako govori Gospodin Bog: Evo, ja øu iziøi protiv tebe, goro Seire!

Onda øeæ spoznati da sam ja Gospodin. 5 Jer si nosio vjeçno neprijateljstvo i sinove si Izraelove predao maçu u vrijeme njihove nesreøe, kad je krivnja dovela svræetak njihov, 6 zato, kao æto sam œiv, govori Gospodin Bog, uçinit øu da krvariæ, jer nisi mrzio krv, krv øe te progoniti. 7 Uçinit øu Goru Seir pustinjom i pustoæi i sve na njoj uniætiti æto ondje dolazi i prolazi. 8 Napunit øu bregove njezine pobijenima.

Onda øete spoznati da sam ja Gospodin.’ 10 Jer si govorila: ‘Ova dva naroda i ove dvije zemlje bit øe moje, i mi øemo ih uzeti u posjed’ ako i boravi Gospodin ondje, 11 Stoga, kao æto sam œiv, govori Gospodin Bog, uçinit øu s tobom po ljubomori i tvojem gnjevu, kojom si radila iz mrœnje svoje prema njima.

Then they shall know that I am the LORD.’

36

And you, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel, and say, ‘O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD! 2 Thus says the LORD God: Because the enemy has said of you, Aha! The ancient heights have become our possession,’ 3 therefore prophesy, and say, ‘Thus says the LORD God: Because they made you desolate and swallowed you up on every side, so that you became the possession of the rest of the nations, and you are taken up by the lips of talkers and slandered by the people– 4 therefore, O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD God! Thus says the LORD God to the mountains, the hills, the rivers, the valleys, the desolate wastes, and the cities that have been forsaken, which became plunder and mockery to the rest of the nations all around’– 5 therefore thus says the LORD God: Surely I have spoken in my burning jealousy against the rest of the nations and against all Edom, who gave my land to themselves as a possession, with whole-hearted joy and spiteful minds, in order to plunder its open country.’ 6 Therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel, and say to the mountains, the hills, the rivers, and the valleys, ‘Thus says the LORD God: Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and my fury, because you have borne the shame of the nations. 7 Therefore thus says the LORD God: I have lifted my hand in an oath that surely the nations that are around you shall bear their own shame. 8 But you, O mountains of Israel, you shall shoot forth your branches and yield your fruit to my people Israel, for they are about to come. 9 For indeed I am for you, and I will turn to you, and you shall be tilled and sown. 10 I will multiply men upon you, all the house of Israel, all of it; and the cities shall be inhabited and the ruins rebuilt. 11 I will multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall increase and bear young; I will make you inhabited as in former times, and do better for you than at your beginnings. Then you shall know that I am the LORD. 12 Yes, I will cause men to walk on you, my people Israel; they shall take possession of you, and you shall be their inheritance; no more shall you bereave them of their children.’ 13 Thus says the LORD God: Because they say to you, ‘You devour men and bereave your nation of children,’ 14 therefore you shall devour men no more, nor bereave your nation anymore, says the LORD God. 15 Nor will I let you hear the taunts of the nations anymore, nor bear the reproach of the peoples anymore, nor shall you cause your nation to stumble anymore, says the LORD God.” 16 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying: 17 “Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in

Oporavak Izraelov

Ti, sine çovjeçji, prorokuj o gorama Izraelovim i kaœi: ‘O gore Izraelove, çujte rijeç Gospodinovu! 2 Ovako govori Gospodin Bog: Jer je neprijatelj govorio o vama: Ha, i vjeçne visine postale su svojina naæa,’ 3 zato prorokuj i kaœi: ‘Ovako govori Gospodin Bog: Jer su vas pustoæili i od svuda vas traœili, dok niste doæli u posjed joæ preostalim narodima i niste pali u brbljanje jezicima i u govorenje ljudima, 4 zato, gore Izraelove, çujte rijeç Gospodina Boga! Ovako govori Gospodin Bog gorama i breœuljcima dolinama i gudurama pustim ruæevinama i ostavljenim gradovima æto su postali plijen i ruglo joæ preostalim okolnim narodima.’ 5 Zato ovako govori Gospodin Bog: ‘Zaista, u œestokom ognju govorim protiv joæ preostalih naroda i protiv svega Edoma. Oni hoøe uzeti u posjed moju zemlju srcem zluradim, duæom punom prezira i oplijeniti je.’ 6 Zato prorokuj o zemlji Izraelovoj i kaœi gorama i breœuljcima, dolinama i gudurama: ‘Ovako govori Gospodin Bog: Zaista, u ljutoj revnosti govorim, jer morate podnositi porugu naroda. 7 Zato, ovako govori Gospodin Bog, ja podiœem svoju ruku na prisegu–narodi oko vas nosit øe porugu svoju! 8 A vi, gore Izraelove, pustite da se pomlade vaæe grane! Nosite svoj plod mojem narodu Izraelu, jer øe se skoro vratiti. 9 Jer evo, dolazim k vama i okreøem se k vama. Vi øete opet biti zasijavane i saåene. 10 Umnoœit øu na vama ljude, kuøu Izraelovu svekoliku. Gradovi øe se opet naseliti i ruæevine øe se iznova sagraditi. 11 Umnoœit øu na vama ljude i stoku.

Oni øe te uzeti u posjed. Ti øeæ biti baætina njihova i neøeæ ih viæe liæavati djece njihove.’ 13 Ovako govori Gospodin Bog: Jer govore o tebi: ‘Ti proœdireæ ljude i vlastiti svoj narod liæavaæ djece,’ 14 zato neøeæ viæe proœdirati ljudi i svojega naroda neøeæ ih viæe liæavati djece, govori Gospodin Bog. 15 Neøu dati da duœe sluæaæ sramotu neznaboœaca, ni ruglo naroda neøeæ viæe podnositi, ni svoj narod neøeæ viæe liæavati djece,” govori Gospodin Bog. 16 Nadalje doæla mi je rijeç Gospodinova, govoreøi: 17 “Sine çovjeçji, kad je kuøa Izraelova stanovala joæ u svojoj zemlji, onda su ju oni oneçistili svojim putovima i svojim djelima.

The hand of the LORD came upon me and brought me out in the Spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones. 2 Then he caused me to pass by them all around, and behold, there were very many in the open valley; and indeed they were very dry. 3 And he said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” So I answered, “O LORD God, you know.” 4 Again he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones, and say to them, ‘O dry bones, hear the word of the LORD! 5 Thus says the LORD God to these bones: Surely I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live. 6 I will put sinews on you and bring flesh upon you, cover you with skin and put breath in you; and you shall live. Then you shall know that I am the LORD.’ ” 7 So I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and suddenly a rattling; and the bones came together, bone to bone. 8 Indeed, as I looked, the sinews and the flesh came upon them, and the skin covered them over; but there was no breath in them. 9 Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, ‘Thus says the LORD God: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.’ ” 10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath came into them, and they lived, and stood upon their feet, an exceedingly great army. 11 Then he said to me, “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. They indeed say, ‘Our bones are dry, our hope is lost, and we ourselves are cut off!’ 12 Therefore prophesy and say to them, ‘Thus says the LORD God: Behold, O my people, I will open your graves and cause you to come up from your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. 13 Then you shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up from your graves. 14 I will put my Spirit in you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land. Then you shall know that I, the LORD, have spoken it and performed it, says the LORD.’ ” 15 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 16 “As for you, son of man, take a stick for yourself and write on it: ‘For Judah and for the sons of Israel, his companions.’ Then take another stick and write on it, ‘For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel, his companions.’ 17 Then join them one to another for yourself into one stick, and they will become one in your hand. 18 And when the children of your people speak to you, saying, ‘Will you not show us what you mean by these?’– 19 say to them, ‘Thus says the LORD God: Surely I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel, his companions; and I will join them with it, with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they will be one in my hand.’ 20 And the sticks on which you write will be in your hand before their eyes. 21 Then say to them, ‘Thus says the LORD God: Surely I will take the sons of Israel from among the nations, wherever they have gone, and will gather them from every side and bring them into their own land; 22 and I will make them one nation in the land, on the

Ezekiel Uskrsnuøe mrtvoga naroda

Ruka Gospodinova je doæla na mene i izveo me u Duhu Gospodinovu i postavio me usred doline æto je bila puna mrtvaçkih kostiju. 2 Onda on uçini da proåem pokraj njih unaokolo. I gle, bilo ih je vrlo mnogo po dolini; zaista bile su sasvim suhe. 3 On mi je rekao: “Sine çovjeçji, mogu li opet oœivjeti ove mrtvaçke kosti?” Ja sam odgovorio: O Gospodine Boœe, ti znaæ.” 4 Onda mi je rekao: “Prorokuj tim kostima i kaœi im: ‘O suhe kosti, çujte rijeç Gospodinovu! 5 Ovako govori Gospodin Bog ovim kostima: Gle, ja øu staviti u vas duh i oœivjet øete. 6 Napravit øu vam œile i uçiniti da vam naraste meso, i navuøi øu na vas koœu, i ulit øu vam duh da oœivite. Onda øete spoznati da sam ja Gospodin.’ ” 7 I ja sam prorokovao kako mi je bilo zapovjeåeno. Dok sam prorokovao nastalo je æuækanje, i najedanput ætropot i kosti su se pribirale jedna uz drugu. 8 Vidio sam kako su na njima uzrasle œile i meso, i kako se na njih navuçe koœa, ali joæ nije bilo duha u njima. 9 On mi je rekao: “Prorokuj duhu, prorokuj, sine çovjeçji! Kaœi duhu: ‘Ovako govori Gospodin Bog: Duæe, doåi od çetiri vjetra, zadahni ove usmrøene da opet oœive!’ ” 10 I kad sam prorokovao, kako mi je zapovjedio, doæao je duh u njih. One su oœivjele i postavile se na svoje noge, jedna silno velika vojska. 11 On mi je rekao: “Sine çovjeçji, ove su kosti sva kuøa Izraelova. One govore: ‘Kosti su naæe usahnule, nada je naæa proæla, nema niæta od nas.’ 12 Zato prorokuj i kaœi im: ‘Ovako govori Gospodin Bog: Evo, ja øu otvoriti grobove vaæe i vas, moj narode, izvesti iz grobova i dovesti vas natrag u Izraelovu zemlju. 13 Spoznat øete da sam ja Gospodin kad otvorim grobove vaæe i vas, moj narode, izvedem iz grobova vaæih. 14 Uçinit øu da doåe u vas moj duh, da oœivite, i naselit øu vas opet u vaæoj zemlji. Onda øete spoznati da sam ja Gospodin, to rekao i izvræio, govori Gospodin.’ ” 15 Rijeç Gospodinova mi je doæla, govoreøi: 16 “Ti, sine çovjeçji, uzmi jedno drvo i napiæi na njemu: ‘Juda i Izraelci, saveznici njegovi!’ Uzmi joæ jedno drvo i napiæi na njemu: ‘Josip, drvo Efraimovo, i sva kuøa Izraelova, saveznici njegovi!’ 17 Sastavi oboje u jedno drvo, neka budu jedna cjelina u tvojoj ruci! 18 Kad te upitaju sinovi tvojega naroda: ‘Hoøeæ li nam objasniti æto misliæ s tim?’– 19 odgovorio im: ‘Ovako govori Gospodin Bog: Evo, ja øu uzeti drvo Josipovo æto je u Efraimovoj ruci, i ono Izraelovih plemena, saveznika njegovih, i sastavit øu ga sa stablom Judinim i tako ih uçiniti jednim jedinim stablom, tako da budu jedna cjelina u mojoj ruci.’ 20 Drva na kojima si napisao, drœat øeæ u svojoj ruci pred njihovim oçima 21 I reøi øeæ im: ‘Ovako govori Gospodin Bog: Evo, ja øu uzeti Izraelove sinove iz naroda, kamo su otiæli i skupit øu ih sa svih strana i dove-

Now the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 2 “Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him, 3 and say, ‘Thus says the LORD God: Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal. 4 I will turn you around, put hooks into your jaws, and lead you out, with all your army, horses, and horsemen, all splendidly clothed, a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords. 5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya are with them, all of them with shield and helmet; 6 Gomer and all its troops; the house of Togarmah from the far north and all its troops–many people are with you. 7 Prepare yourself and be ready, you and all your companies that are gathered about you; and be a guard for them. 8 After many days you will be visited. In the latter years you will come into the land of those brought back from the sword and gathered from many people on the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate; they were brought out of the nations, and now all of them dwell safely. 9 You will ascend, coming like a storm, covering the land like a cloud, you and all your troops and many peoples with you. 10 Thus says the LORD God: On that day it shall come to pass that thoughts will arise in your mind, and you will make an evil plan: 11 You will say, I will go up against a land of unwalled villages; I will go to a peaceful people, who dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates– 12 to take plunder and to take booty, to stretch out your hand against the waste places that are again inhabited, and against a people gathered from the nations, who have acquired livestock and goods, who dwell in the midst of the land.

Proroçanstvo o upadu Goga u Izraelovu zemlju

Nato mi je doæla rijeç Gospodinova govoreøi: 2 “Sine çovjeçji, upravi svoje lice na Goga u zemlji Magogu, velikog vladara Meæeka i Tubala! Prorokuj protiv njega 3 I kaœi: ‘Ovako govori Gospodin Bog: Evo, ja øu iziøi protiv tebe, o Goœe, veliki kneœe Meæeka i Tubala! 4 Primamit øu te i stavit øu ti kuke u çeljusti o dovest øu ovamo tebe i svu vojsku tvoju, konje i konjanike, sve dobro opremljene, veliku çetu sa ætitovima i ætitiøima, sve koji se bore maçem. 5 Perzijanci, Kuæ (Etiopija) i Put (Libija) meåu kojima su svi sa ætitom i kacigom. 6 Gomer i sve çete njegove, kuøa Togarmina, krajnji sjever i sve çete njegove–mnogi su narodi s tobom. 7 Drœi se spreman i naoruœaj se, ti i sve çete tvoje æto su se skupile oko tebe!

And you, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, ‘Thus says the LORD God: Behold, I am against you, O Gog, prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal; 2 and I will turn you around and lead you on, bringing you up from the far north, and bring you against the mountains of Israel. 3 Then I will knock the bow out of your left hand, and cause the arrows to fall out of your right hand. 4 You shall fall upon the mountains of Israel, you and all your troops and the peoples who are with you; I will give you to birds of prey of every sort and to the beasts of the field to be devoured. 5 You shall fall on the open field; for I have spoken, says the LORD God. 6 And I will send fire on Magog and on those who live in security in the coastlands. Then they shall know that I am the LORD. 7 So I will make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel, and I will not let them profane my holy name anymore. Then the nations shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel. 8 Surely it is coming, and it shall be done, says the LORD God. This is the day of which I have spoken. 9 Then those who dwell in the cities of Israel will go out and set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and bucklers, the bows and arrows, the javelins and spears; and they will make fires with them

Smrt Gogova. Slava Boœja i povratak Izraelov

Ti, sine çovjeçji, prorokuj protiv Goga i kaœi: ‘Ovako govori Gospodin Bog: Evo, ja øu iziøi protiv tebe, o Goœe, veliki kneœe Meæeka i Tubala! 2 Primamit øu te, vodit øu te, povest øu te sa krajnjega sjevera i dovest øu te na gore Izraelove. 3 A izbit øu ti lßk iz lijeve tvoje ruke i prosut øu ti strijele iz desne tvoje ruke. 4 Na gorama øeæ Izraelovim pasti, ti i sve çete tvoje i narodi, koji su s tobom.

In the twenty-fifth year of our captivity, at the beginning of the year, on the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after the city was captured, on the very same day the hand of the LORD was upon me; and he took me there. 2 In the visions of God he took me into the land of Israel and set me on a very high mountain; on it toward the south was something like the structure of a city. 3 He took me there, and behold, there was a man whose appearance was like the appearance of bronze. He had a line of flax and a measuring rod in his hand, and he stood in the gateway. 4 And the man said to me, “Son of man, look with your eyes and hear with your ears, and fix your mind on everything I show you; for you were brought here so that I might show them to you. Declare to the house of Israel everything you see.” 5 Now there was a wall all around the outside of the temple. In the man’s hand was a measuring rod six cubits long, each being a cubit and a handbreadth; and he measured the width of the wall structure, one rod; and the height, one rod. 6 Then he went to the gateway which faced east; and he went up its stairs and measured the threshold of the gateway, which was one rod wide, and the other threshold was one rod wide. 7 Each gate chamber was one rod long and one rod wide; between the gate chambers was a space of five cubits; and the threshold of the gateway by the vestibule of the inside gate was one rod. 8 He also measured the vestibule of the inside gate, one rod. 9 Then he measured the vestibule of the gateway, eight cubits; and the gateposts, two cubits. The vestibule of the gate was on the inside. 10 In the eastern gateway were three gate chambers on one side and three on the other; the three were all the same size; also the gateposts were of the same size on this side and that side. 11 He measured the width of the entrance to the gateway, ten cubits; and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits. 12 There was a space in front of the gate chambers, one cubit on this side and one cubit on that side; the gate chambers were six cubits on this side and six cubits on that side. 13 Then he measured the gateway from the roof of one gate chamber to the roof of the other; the width was twenty-five cubits, as door faces door. 14 He measured the gateposts, sixty cubits high, and the court all around the gateway extended to the gatepost. 15 From the front of the entrance gate to the front of the vestibule of the inner gate was fifty cubits. 16 There were beveled window frames in the gate chambers and in their intervening archways on the inside of the gateway all around, and likewise in the vestibules. There were windows all around on the inside. And on each gatepost were palm trees. 17 Then he brought me into the outer court; and there were chambers and a pavement made all around the court; thirty chambers faced the pavement. 18 The pavement was by the side of the gateways, corresponding to the length of the gateways; this was the lower pavement. 19 Then he measured the width from the front of the lower gateway to the front of the inner court exterior,

Ezekiel Novi dom

U dvadeset petoj godini naæega ropstva, u poçetku godine, desetoga dana toga mjeseca, u çetrnaestoj godini iza osvojenja grada, upravo taj dan, doæla je ruka Gospodinova nada me i odveo me onamo. 2 U Izraelovu zemlju odveo me u jednom boœanskom viåenju i postavio me na goru vrlo visoku. Na juœnoj strani njezinoj nalazilo se neæto æto je izgledalo kao kakav grad. 3 Kad me je bio odveo onamo, ukazao mi se najedanput çovjek, koji je izgledao sjajan kao mjed. Imao je u ruci vrpcu lanenu i mjeraçku trsku i stajao je na vratima. 4 Çovjek mi progovori: “Sine çovjeçji, gledaj ovamo svojim oçima i sluæaj svojim uæima! Pripazi toçno na sve æto øu ti pokazati, jer da ti se to pokaœe doveden si ovamo. Objavi kuøi Izraelovoj sve æto vidiæ!” 5 I gle, bio je zid izvana sve uokolo doma. Mjeraçka trska æto je çovjek imao u ruci bila je æest lakata duga, lakat je imao obiçan lakat i podlanicu. On izmjeri æirinu zida koja je iznosila je jednu trsku; isto tako visina jednu trsku. 6 Onda je on doæao na vrata çija je prednja strana bila prema istoku. Pope se uz stepenice i izmjeri prag vratima koji je imao u æirinu jednu trsku; i drugi je prag imao jednu trsku u æirinu. 7 Izmjeri vratne straœarnice; svaka je imala jednu trsku u duœinu i jednu trsku u æirinu, prostor izmeåu straœarnica bio je pet lakata. Prag vrata uz trijem na unutraænjoj strani imao je jednu trsku. 8 Izmjeri trijem kod vrata na unutraænjoj strani–imao je jednu trsku! 9 Izmjeri trijem kod vrata–imao je osam lakata; vratni stupovi njegovi imali su dva lakta. Trijem kod vrata bio je prema unutra. 10 Od straœarnice istoçnih vrata bile su tri na jednoj i tri na drugoj strani; sve tri imale su jednaku mjeru; i vratni stupovi s obje strane imali su jednaku mjeru. 11 Izmjeri æirinu ulaza vrata; imala je deset lakata, i duœina hodnika kod vrata trinaest lakata. 12 Pred straœarnicama bio je prostor od jednog lakta æirine s ove i s one strane. Straœarnica na jednoj strani imala je æest lakata, isto tako straœarnica na drugoj strani. 13 Onda izmjeri vrata od krova jedne straœarnice do krova druge straœarnice; æirina je iznosila dvadeset i pet lakata izmeåu vrata. 14 On izmjeri vratne stupove, æezdeset lakata visine. Predvorje bilo je sve uokolo trijema do stupova vratnih. 15 Od prednje strane ulaza na vrata do prednje strane unutraænjeg trijema na vratima bilo je pedeset lakata. 16 Na vratima unakolo bili su prozori æto su prema straœarnicama i stupovima njihovim iznutra upadali odviæe koso. I trijem je imao prozore unaokolo prema unutra. Na vratnim stupovima bio je naçinjen nakit palmov. 17 Onda me povede u vanjsko predvorje. Vidio sam sobe i kameni pod æto je pokrivao trijem unaokolo. Trideset soba bilo je na kamenom podu. 18 Pod na stranama vrata imao je istu æirinu kao vrata, to je bio unutraænji kameni pod. 19 Izmjeri æirinu trijema od unutraænje prednje

Then he brought me into the sanctuary and measured the doorposts, six cubits wide on one side and six cubits wide on the other side–the width of the tabernacle. 2 The width of the entryway was ten cubits, and the side walls of the entrance were five cubits on this side and five cubits on the other side; and he measured its length, forty cubits, and its width, twenty cubits. 3 Then he went inside and measured the doorposts, two cubits; and the entrance, six cubits high; and the width of the entrance, seven cubits. 4 He measured the length, twenty cubits; and the width, twenty cubits, beyond the sanctuary; and he said to me, “This is the Most Holy Place.” 5 Next, he measured the wall of the temple, six cubits. The width of each side chamber all around the temple was four cubits on every side. 6 The side chambers were in three stories, one above the other, thirty chambers in each story; they rested on ledges which were for the side chambers all around, that they might be supported, but not fastened to the wall of the temple. 7 As one went up from story to story, the side chambers became wider all around, because their supporting ledges in the wall of the temple ascended like steps; therefore the width of the structure increased as one went up from the lowest story to the highest by way of the middle one. 8 I also saw an elevation all around the temple; it was the foundation of the side chambers, a full rod, that

Opis unutraænjosti doma

Onda me uvede u dvoranu doma i izmjeri stupove. Bili su æiroki æest lakata na jednoj strani i æest lakata æiroki na drugoj strani. 2 Æirina ulaznih vrata iznosila je deset lakata. Zidovi sa strane ulaznih vrata bili su na jednoj strani æiroki pet lakata i na drugoj strani pet lakata. Izmjeri duœinu; iznosila je çetrdeset lakata, æirina dvadeset lakata. 3 Uæao je onda u unutraænji prostor i izmjeri stupove vrata; imali su dva lakta. Æirina vrata iznosila je æest lakata. Pokrajnje strane od ulaza imale su s ove i s one strane sedam lakata æirine. 4 Onda izmjeri duœinu unutraænjega prostora; iznosila je dvadeset lakata. Æirina æto je odgovarala æirini dvorane doma iznosila je dvadeset lakata. On mi je rekao: “Ovo je Najsvetije Mjesto.” 5 I izmjeri zid doma, debljina je njegova iznosila æest lakata. Æirinu dogradnje æto je vodila oko doma izmjeri æest lakata. 6 Pokrajnjih soba, prostor na prostoru, bilo je po trideset u tri kata. One su se oslanjale na sagraåene izboçine zida doma i tako sluœile kao nositelji da ne ulaze u sam zid doma. 7 Sobe su se prema tomu æirile sve viæe i viæe gore kako se ide iz kata na kat, kako je veø opadala debljina zida gore okolo doma.

Afterward he brought me to the gate, the gate that faces toward the east. 2 And behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east.

Then he brought me back to the outer gate of the sanctuary which faces toward the east, but it was shut. 2 And the LORD said to me, “This gate shall be shut; it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter by it, because the LORD God of Israel has entered by it; therefore it shall be shut. 3 As for the prince, because he is the prince, he may sit in it to eat bread before the LORD; he shall enter by way of the vestibule of the gateway, and go out the same way.” 4 Then he brought me by way of the north gate to the front of the temple; so I looked, and behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD; and I fell on my face. 5 And the LORD said to me, “Son of man, mark well, see with your eyes and hear with your ears, all that I say to you concerning all the ordinances of the house of the LORD and all its laws. Mark well who may enter the house and all who go out from the sanctuary. 6 Now say to the rebellious, to the house of Israel, ‘Thus says the LORD God: O house of Israel, let us have no more of all your abominations. 7 When you brought in foreigners, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary to defile it–my house–and when you offered my food, the fat and the blood, then they broke my covenant because of all your abominations. 8 And you have not kept charge of my holy things, but you have set others to keep charge of my sanctuary for you.” 9 Thus says the LORD God: “No foreigner, uncircumcised in heart or uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter my sanctuary, including any foreigner who is among the sons of Israel. 10 And the Levites who went far from me, when Israel went astray, who strayed away from me after their idols, they shall bear their iniquity. 11 Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, as gatekeepers of the house and ministers of the house; they shall slay the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister to them. 12 Because they ministered to them before their idols and caused the house of Israel to fall into iniquity, therefore I have lifted my hand in an oath against them, says the LORD God, that they shall bear their iniquity. 13 And they shall not come near me to minister to me as priest, nor come near any of my holy things, nor into the Most Holy Place; but they shall bear their shame and their abominations which they have committed. 14 Nevertheless I will make them keep charge of the temple, for all its work, and for all that has to be done in it.

O Sveøenicima novoga doma

Onda me odveo natrag vanjskim istoçnim vratima svetiæta; ova su bila zatvorena. 2 Gospodin mi je rekao: “Ova vrata neka ostanu zatvorena i neka se viæe nikada ne otvaraju, i nitko ne smije ulaziti na njih, jer je Gospodin, Bog Izraelov, uæao na njih, zato neka ostanu zatvorena! 3 Samo vladar, jer je vladar smije sjediti na njima da uzme œrtvenu gozbu pred Gospodinom! Kroz trijem ovih vrata neka on ulazi i ovim putom neka opet izlazi!” 4 Potom me odveo sjevernim vratima pred proçelje doma, pogledao sam, i gle, slava je Gospodinova napunila Gospodinov dom. Pao sam niçice na svoje lice, 5 I rekao mi Gospodin: “Sine çovjeçji, pazi, gledaj svojim oçima i sluæaj svojim uæima sve æto øu ti reøi o svim uredbama Gospodinova doma i o svim zakonima njezinim! Pazi na to kako se mora uøi u dom i kako se mora izaøi iz svetiæta! 6 Kaœi nepokornoj kuøi, kuøi Izraelovoj: ‘Ovako govori Gospodin Bog: Dosta je vaæih odurnosti, o kuøo Izraelova! 7 Uvodili ste u svetiæte moje doæljake, neobrezane na srcu i na tijelu! Oni su boravili u njemu i oneçistili moju kuøu kad ste prinosili moje jelo, pretilinu i krv, i tako ste prekræili moj zavjet svim tim grozotama. 8 Ni sluœbe u mojem svetiætu niste sami izvræavali, nego ste njih postavili da obavljaju sluœbu u mojem svetiætu. 9 Zato, ovako govori Gospodin Bog, ni jedan doæljak, koji je neobrezan na srcu i na tijelu, ne smije stupiti u svetiæte moje, ni jedan od stranaca koji borave meåu Izraelovim sinovima. 10 Leviti koji su se udaljili od mene kad je lutao Izrael, otpali od mene i çinili idolopoklonstvo, neka sada okaju svoju krivnju! 11 Neka oni u mojem svetiætu joæ samo sluœe kao straœari na vratima doma i kao sluge doma! Neka kolju za narod œrtvu paljenicu i œrtvu zaklanicu i neka ih dvore i sluœe! 12 Jer su im sluœili pred idolima njihovim i postali kuøi Izraelovoj spoticanje na grijeh, zato sam protiv njih podigao svoju ruku na zakletvu, govori Gospodin Bog. Neka okaju opaçinu svoju! 13 Ne smiju mi se viæe pribliœiti i sluœiti mi kao sveøenici, niti pristupiti onomu æto mi je sveto ni u Najsvetije Mjesto.

Moreover, when you divide the land by lot into inheritance, you shall set apart a district for the LORD, a holy portion of the land; its length shall be twenty-five thousand cubits, and the width ten thousand.

Thus says the LORD God: The gateway of the inner court that faces toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the Sabbath it shall be opened, and on the day of the New Moon it shall be opened. 2 The prince shall enter by way of the vestibule of that gateway from the outside, and stand by the gatepost. The priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings. He shall worship at the threshold of the gate. Then he shall go out, but the gate shall not be shut until evening. 3 Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the entrance to this gateway before the LORD on the Sabbaths and the New Moons. 4 The burnt offering that the prince offers to the LORD on the Sabbath day shall be six lambs without blemish, and a ram without blemish; 5 and the grain offering shall be one ephah for a ram, and the grain offering for the lambs, as much as he wants to give, as well as a hin of oil with every ephah. 6 On the day of the New Moon it shall be a young bull without blemish, six lambs, and a ram; they shall be without blemish. 7 He shall prepare a grain offering of an ephah for a bull, an ephah for a ram, as much as he wants to give for the lambs, and a hin of oil with every ephah. 8 When the prince enters, he shall go in by way of the vestibule of that gateway, and go out the same way. 9 But when the people of the land come before the LORD on the appointed feast days, whoever enters by way of the north gate to worship shall go out by way of the south gate; and whoever enters by way of the south gate shall go out by way of the north gate. He shall not return by way of the gate through which he came, but shall go out through the opposite gate. 10 The prince shall then be in their midst. When they go in, he shall go in; and when they go out, he shall go out. 11 At the festivals and the appointed feast days the grain offering shall be an ephah for a bull, an ephah for a ram, as much as he wants to give for the lambs, and a hin of oil with every ephah. 12 Now when the prince makes a voluntary burnt offering or voluntary peace offering to the LORD, the gate that faces toward the east shall then be opened for him; and he shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings as he did on the Sabbath day. Then he shall go out, and after he goes out the gate shall be shut. 13 You shall daily make a burnt offering to the LORD of a lamb of the first year without blemish; you shall prepare it every morning. 14 And you shall prepare a grain offering with it every morning, a sixth of an ephah, and a third of a hin of oil to moisten the fine flour. This grain offering is a perpetual ordinance, to be made regularly to the LORD. 15 Thus they shall prepare the lamb, the grain offering, and the oil, as a regular burnt offering every morning.” 16 Thus says the LORD God: “If the prince gives a gift

Neka prinese svoju œrtvu paljenicu i svoju œrtvu pomirnicu, kako to obiçaje çiniti na Subotnji dan! Potom neka iziåe, i çim iziåe, neka se zatvore vrata! 13 Svaki dan øeæ prinijeti Gospodinu jednogodiænje janje bez mane kao œrtvu paljenicu, i to øeæ tako çiniti svako jutro. 14 Kao prinos uz to øeæ prinijeti svako jutro æestinu efe braæna i treøinu hina ulja da se poækropi bijelo braæno, kao prinos Gospodinu Taj œitni dar je vjeçna uredba, i mora se davati redovito. 15 Tako øete prinositi janje i prinos i ulje svako jutro kao redovitu œrtvu paljenicu. 16 Ovako govori Gospodin Bog: Ako vladar uçini dar komu svojem sinu od svoje baætine, neka bude njegovim sinovima kao baætinski posjed! 17 Ako li æto daruje od svoje baætine komu svo-

Then he brought me back to the door of the temple; and there was water, flowing from under the threshold of the temple toward the east, for the front of the temple faced east; the water was flowing from under the right side of the temple, south of the altar. 2 He brought me out by way of the north gate, and led me around on the outside to the outer gateway that faces east; and there was water, running out on the right side. 3 Then, when the man went out to the east with the line in his hand, he measured one thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the water came up to my ankles. 4 Again he measured one thousand and brought me through the waters; the water came up to my knees. Again he measured one thousand and brought me through; the water came up to my waist. 5 Again he measured one thousand, and it was a river that I could not cross; for the water was too deep, water in which one must swim, a river that could not be crossed. 6 He said to me, “Son of man, have you seen this?” Then he brought me and returned me to the bank of the river. 7 When I returned, there, along the bank of the river, were very many trees on one side and the other. 8 Then he said to me: “This water flows toward the eastern region, goes down into the valley, and enters the sea. When it reaches the sea, its waters are healed. 9 And it shall be that every living thing that moves, wherever the rivers go, will live. There will be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters go there; for they will be healed, and everything will live

Onda me povede na ulaz u dom. Gle, tu je izlazila voda i ispod praga od doma k istoku. Proçelje doma gledalo je na istok. Voda je tekla dolje s desne strane doma, juœno od œrtvenika za œrtve paljenice. 2 Povede me van kroz sjeverna vrata i van okolo k vanjskim istoçnim vratima. I gle, voda je œuborila dolje s desne strane. 3 Çovjek je otiæao dalje prema istoku, a imao je mjeru u ruci. Izmjeri tisuøu lakata i povede me preko vode, ona je doæla do gleœanja. 4 Izmjeri opet tisuøu lakata i povede me preko vode, voda mi je doæla do koljena. Izmjeri opet tisuøu lakata i povede me prijeko; ona mi je doæla do bokova. 5 Izmjeri opet tisuøu lakata; onda je bila rijeka, preko koje viæe nisam mogao prelaziti, jer se voda bila tako popela da bi se morala preplivati rijeka, preko koje se viæe nije moglo prelaziti. 6 On mi je rekao: “Jesi li vidio to, sine çovjeçji?” Nato me pustio da odem natrag na obalu rijeke. 7 Na povratku sam vidio vrlo mnogo stabala na obali rijeke s obje strane, 8 On mi je rekao: “Ova voda teçe van u istoçni kraj i spuæta se u pustinju i dolazi do Mrtvoga mora. Kad doåe ondje, postat øe voda Mrtvoga mora zdrava. 9 Sva œiva biøa æto se samo miçu, oœivjet øe posvuda kamo god doåe rijeka.

Daniel

THE BOOK OF DANIEL

In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it. 2 And the LORD gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with some of the articles of the house of God, which he carried into the land of Shinar to the house of his god; and he brought the articles into the treasure house of his god. 3 Then the king instructed Ashpenaz, the master of his eunuchs, to bring some of the sons of Israel and some of the king’s descendants and some of the nobles, 4 young men in whom there was no blemish, but good-looking, gifted in all wisdom, possessing knowledge and quick to understand, who had ability to serve in the king’s palace, and whom they might teach the language and literature of the Chaldeans. 5 And the king appointed for them a daily provision of the king’s delicacies and of the wine which he drank, and three years of training for them, so that at the end of that time they might serve before the king. 6 Now from among those of the sons of Judah were Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. 7 To them the chief of the eunuchs gave names: he gave Daniel the name Belteshazzar; to Hananiah, Shadrach; to Mishael, Meshach; and to Azariah, Abed-Nego.

KNJIGA DANIELOVA Danielov odgoj i njegova vjernost zakonu Boœjem

U treøoj godini vladanja Judina kralja Jojakima, doæao je Nebukadnezar, babilonski kralj, protiv Jeruzalema i opkolio ga. 2 I Gospodin mu je dao u ruku Jojakima, Judina kralja, i jedan dio predmeta Boœjega doma, koje je odnio u zemlju Æinear u hram svojega boga. I on je dopremio predmete i pohranio ih u riznicu svojega boga. 3 Onda je zapovjedio kralj Aæfenazu, predstojniku nad dvoranima, neka dovede nekoliko mladiøa Izraelaca i nekoliko kraljevskih i kneœevskih potomaka: 4 mladiøe bez mane, lijepa lica, nadarene mudroæøu, bogate svakim znanjem, brzi u razumijevanju, i dobro odgojene, koji bi bili sposobni za sluœbu na kraljevskom dvoru i koje bi se moglo pouçiti pismu i jeziku Kaldejaca. 5 Kralj je odredio njihovo svakidaænje uzdrœavanje od stola kraljevskoga i od vina koje je on sam pio. Zapovjedio je da se izobraœavaju tri godine, te da bi poslije stupili u kraljevsku sluœbu. 6 Meåu njima su bili Judejci Daniel, Hananija, Miæael i Azarija. 7 Predstojnik nad dvoranima dao im je ipak druga imena. Danielu nadjenuo ime Belteæa-

Zato je zamolio predstojnika nad dvoranima da se defile himself. 9 Now God had brought Daniel into the favor and ne mora oneçistiti. 9 I dao je Bog Danielu te je naæao milost i ljubav good will of the chief of the eunuchs. 10 And the chief of the eunuchs said to Daniel, “I fear u predstojnika nad dvoranima. my lord the king, who has appointed your food and 10 Ipak je rekao predstojnik nad dvoranima drink. For why should he see your faces looking Danielu: “Bojim se svojega gospodara kralja, worse than the young men who are your age? Then koji vam je odredio jelo i piøe, jer kad bi vidio da su lica vaæa loæija nego u ostalih mladiøa vaæe you would endanger my head before the king.” 11 So Daniel said to the steward whom the chief of dobi, mogao bih ja, krivnjom vaæom, platiti glathe eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, vom kod kralja.” 11 A Daniel je zamolio nadglednika, koga je and Azariah, 12 Please test your servants for ten days, and let predstojnik nad dvoranima bio postavio nad them give us vegetables to eat and water to drink.

Now in the second year of Nebuchadnezzar’s reign, Nebuchadnezzar had dreams; and his spirit was so troubled that his sleep left him. 2 Then the king gave the command to call the magicians, the astrologers, the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans to tell the king his dreams. So they came and stood before the king. 3 And the king said to them, “I have had a dream, and my spirit is anxious to know the dream.” 4 Then the Chaldeans spoke to the king in Aramaic, “O king, live forever! Tell your servants the dream, and we will give the interpretation.” 5 But the king answered and said to the Chaldeans, “My decision is firm: if you do not make known the dream to me, and its interpretation, you shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made an ash heap. 6 However, if you tell the dream and its interpretation, you shall receive from me gifts, rewards, and great honor. Therefore tell me the dream and its interpretation.” 7 They answered again and said, “Let the king tell his

Nebukadnezarov san. Daniel protumaçi san

U drugoj godini vladanja Nebukadnezarova usnio je Nebukadnezar san. To ga je toliko uznemirilo, da nije mogao spavati. 2 Onda je zapovjedio kralj da se dozovu çarobnjaci, zvjezdari, vraçari, gataoci i Kaldejci, da rekli kralju njegov san. Tako su oni doæli i stupili pred kralja. 3 Kralj im rekao: “Usnio sam san i duh mi se uznemirio, htio bih razumjeti san.” 4 Kaldejci su odgovorili kralju aramejski: “Kralju, da si œiv dovijeka! Pripovjedi san svojim slugama, pa øemo ti reøi znaçenje sna.” 5 Odgovorio je kralj Kaldejcima, govoreøi: “Moja je odluka tvrda, ako mi ne reknete æto sam usnio i æto je znaçenje sna, bit øete na komade isjeçeni i vaæe øe kuøe biti hrpe pepela. 6 Ako li mi reknete æto sam usnio i æto je znaçenje sna, dobit øete od mene darove i poklone i veliku çast.

Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was sixty cubits and its width six cubits. He set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon. 2 And King Nebuchadnezzar sent word to gather together the satraps, the administrators, the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the judges, the magistrates, and all the officials of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which King Nebuchadnezzar had set up. 3 So the satraps, the administrators, the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the judges, the magistrates, and all the officials of the provinces gathered together for the dedication of the image that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up. 4 Then a herald cried aloud: “To you it is commanded, O peoples, nations, and languages, 5 that at the time you hear the sound of the horn, flute, harp, lyre, and psaltery, in symphony with all kinds of music, you shall fall down and worship the gold image that King Nebuchadnezzar has set up; 6 and whoever does not fall down and worship shall be cast immediately into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.” 7 So at that time, when all the people heard the sound of the horn, flute, harp, and lyre, in symphony with all kinds of music, all the people, nations, and languages fell down and worshiped the gold image which King Nebuchadnezzar had set up. 8 Therefore at that time certain Chaldeans came forward and accused the Jews. 9 They spoke and said to King Nebuchadnezzar, “O king, live forever! 10 You, O king, have made a decree that everyone who hears the sound of the horn, flute, harp, lyre, and psaltery, in symphony with all kinds of music, shall fall down and worship the gold image; 11 and whoever does not fall down and worship shall be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. 12 There are certain Jews whom you have set over the affairs of the province of Babylon: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego; these men, O king, have not paid due regard to you. They do not serve your gods or worship the gold image which you have set up.” 13 Then Nebuchadnezzar, in rage and fury, gave the command to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and AbedNego. So they brought these men before the king. 14 Nebuchadnezzar spoke, saying to them, “Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, that you do not serve my gods or worship the gold image which I have set up? 15 Now if you are ready at the time you hear the sound of the horn, flute, harp, lyre, and psaltery, in symphony with all kinds of music, and you fall down and worship the image which I have made, good! But if you do not worship, you shall be cast immediately into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. And who is the god who will deliver you from my hands?” 16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego answered and said to the king, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter.

U peøi ognjenoj

Kralj Nebukadnezar je dao napraviti zlatni kip, çija je visina bila æezdeset lakata, a æirina æest lakata, i namjesti ga u ravnici Duri u pokrajini babilonskoj. 2 Nato je poslao kralj Nebukadnezar glasnike da pozovu satrape, namjesnike, zapovjednike, suce, rizniçare, pravnike, vijeønike i sve druge dostojanstvenike pokrajinske da doåu na posvetu kipa koji je bio podigao kralj Nebukadnezar. 3 Onda su se skupili satrapi, namjesnici, zapovjednici, suci, rizniçari, pravnici, vijeønici i svi drugi dostojanstvenici pokrajinski na posvetu kipa koji je bio podigao kralj Nebukadnezar. Oni su stali pred kipom koji je bio podigao Nebukadnezar. 4 Glasnik povika iza glasa: “Narodi, plemena i jezici, vama se zapovjeda: 5 Çim çujete zvuk truba, frula, citara, harfa, psaltira, gajda i svih drugih vrsta glazbala, padajte niçice i poklonite se zlatnom kipu koji je podigao kralj Nebukadnezar. 6 Tko se ne baci niçice i ne pokloni, bit øe smjesta baçen u peø ognjenu uœarenu.” 7 I çim su çuli svi narodi zvuk truba, frula, citara, harfa, psaltira i svih drugih vrsta glazbala, bacili su se niçice svi narodi, plemena i jezici i poklonili se zlatnom kipu koji je bio podigao kralj Nebukadnezar. 8 U joæ isti ças pristupili ljudi kaldejski i optuœili Judejce. 9 Rekli su kralju Nebukadnezaru: “Kralju, da si œiv dovijeka! 10 Ti si, kralju, zapovjedio da se svaki koji çuje zvuk truba, frula, citara, harfa, psaltira, gajda i svih drugih vrsta glazbala, mora niçice baciti i pokloniti se zlatnomu kipu. 11 Tko ne padne niçice i ne pokloni se zlatnom kipu, mora se baciti u peø ognjenu uœarenu. 12 Neki Judejci, kojima si predao upravu pokrajine babilonske: Æadrak, Meæak i AbedNego, o kralju, oni ne mare za tvoju zapovijed. Oni ne poætuju tvojih bogova i ne klanjaju se zlatnom kipu æto si ga podigao.” 13 Onda Nebukadnezar u gnjevu i bijesu zapovjedio da dovedu Æadraka, Meæaka i AbedNega. Tako su ih doveli pred kralja. 14 Nebukadnezar im progovori, govoreøi: “Je li istina, Æadrak, Meæak i Abed-Nego, da vi ne poætujete mojih bogova i da se ne klanjate zlatnom kipu æto sam ga dao podignuti? 15 I sada, ako ste pripravni, bacite se niçice çim çujete zvuk truba, frula, citara, harfa, psaltira, gajda i svih drugih vrsta glazbala, i poklonite se kipu æto sam ga dao podignuti! Ako li se ne poklonite, bit øete smjesta baçeni u peø ognjenu uœarenu, a koji bi bio bog æto bi vas mogao izbaviti iz moje ruke?” 16 Odgovore Æadrak, Meæak i Abed-Nego kralju, govoreøi: “Nebukadnezare, ne treba nam da ti odgovaramo na to! 17 Jer evo, naæ Bog, koga ætujemo, ima moø da nas izbavi iz peøi ognjene uœarene.

It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom one hundred and twenty satraps, to be over the whole kingdom; 2 and over these, three governors, of whom Daniel was one, that the satraps might give account to them, so that the king would suffer no loss. 3 Then this Daniel distinguished himself above the governors and satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king gave thought to setting him over the whole realm. 4 So the governors and satraps sought to find some charge against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find no charge or fault, because he was faithful; nor was there any error or fault found in him. 5 Then these men said, “We shall not find any charge against this Daniel unless we find it against him concerning the law of his God.” 6 So these governors and satraps thronged before the king, and said thus to him: “King Darius, live forever! 7 All the governors of the kingdom, the administrators and satraps, the counselors and advisors, have consulted together to establish a royal statute and to make a firm decree, that whoever petitions any god or man for thirty days, except you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions.

Izbavljenje Danielovo iz jame lavovske

Svidjelo se Dariju da postavi nad kraljevstvom stotinu i dvadeset satrapa, da vladaju nad svim kraljevstvom. 2 A nad njima tri vrhovna glavara, kojima je pripadao i Daniel. Ovima su satrapi morali polagati raçune da ne bi kralj trpio ætete u porezu. 3 Daniel se odlikovao iznad drugih vrhovnih çinovnika i satrapa, jer je u njemu djelovao viæi duh. Kralj je pomiæljao na to da ga postavi nad svim kraljevstvom svojim. 4 Onda su vrhovni çinovnici i satrapi gledali da naåu kakav god povod tuœbi protiv Daniela glede kraljevstva, ali nisu mogli otkriti nikakva povoda ni pogreæke, jer je bio vjeran i nije mu se mogla dokazati nikakva krivnja ili mana. 5 Onda su rekli oni ljudi: “Neøemo naøi na tomu Danielu nikakva povoda tuœbi, osim ako ga ne naåemo na njemu zbog zakona Boga njegova.” 6 Zato su doæli pred kralja oni vrhovni çinovnici i satrapi i rekli mu: “Kralju Darije, da si œiv dovijeka! 7 Svi vrhovni çinovnici u kraljevstvu, predstojnici i satrapi, savjetnici i zapovjednici sloœni su u tom da se izda kraljevska zapovijed i postavi

In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream and visions of his head while on his bed. Then he wrote down the dream, telling the main facts. 2 Daniel spoke, saying, “I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of heaven were stirring up the Great Sea. 3 And four great beasts came up from the sea, each different from the other. 4 The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings. I watched till its wings were plucked off; and it was lifted up from the earth and made to stand on two feet like a man, and a man’s heart was given to it. 5 And suddenly another beast, a second, like a bear. It was raised up on one side, and had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. And they said thus to it: ‘Arise, devour much flesh!’ 6 After this I looked, and there was another, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a bird. The beast also had four heads, and dominion was given to it. 7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, exceedingly strong. It had huge iron teeth; it was devouring, breaking in pieces, and trampling the residue with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns. 8 I was considering the horns, and there was another horn, a little one, coming up among them, before whom three of the first horns were plucked out by the roots. And there, in this horn, were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking pompous words. 9 I watched till thrones were put in place, and the Ancient of Days was seated; his garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head was like pure wool. His throne was a fiery flame, its wheels a burning fire; 10 A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him. A thousand thousands ministered to him; ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him. The court was seated, and the books were opened. 11 I watched then because of the sound of the pompous words which the horn was speaking; I watched till the beast was slain, and its body destroyed and given to the burning flame. 12 As for the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away, yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a time. 13 I was watching in the night visions, and behold, One like the Son of Man, coming with the clouds of heaven! He came to the Ancient of Days, and they brought him near before him. 14 Then to him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom the one which shall not be destroyed. 15 I, Daniel, was grieved in my spirit within my body, and the visions of my head troubled me. 16 I came near to one of those who stood by, and

Çetiri svjetska kraljevstva i vjeçno kraljevstvo Mesijino

U prvoj godini Belæazara, kralja babilonskoga, imao je Daniel san i viåenja æto su bila pred duhom njegovim na postelji njegovoj. On je napisao san izvijestivæi ukratko glavni sadrœaj. 2 Daniel je pripovijedao ovo: “Gledao sam noøu u viåenju sna svojega kako çetiri vjetra nebeska uzburkalo se veliko more. 3 Çetiri velike œivotinje su izaæle iz mora, svaka drukçija. 4 Prva je izgledala kao lav i imala je krila orlova. Dok sam gledao, krila joj se istrgnula i ona se podigla sa zemlje, stala je na noge kao çovjek i dalo joj se çovjeçje srce. 5 Najedanput se pojavila druga œivotinja æto je izgledala kao medvjed. Bila je napola uzdignuta, imala je tri rebra u çeljusti meåu zubima. Viknulo joj se: ‘Ustani i jedi mnogo mesa!’ 6 Dok sam joæ gledao, pojavila se najedanput druga œivotinja æto je izgledala kao ris. Imala je çetiri krila na leåima. Imala je i çetiri glave, i dade joj se vlast. 7 Iza toga vidio sam, u noønim viåenjima svojim, najedanput çetvrtu œivotinju, straænu, uœasnu i vrlo jaku. Imala je silne œeljezne zube, kojima je jela i satirala i æto bi preostalo, pogazila je nogama. Razlikovala se od svih prijaænjih œivotinja i imala je deset rogova. 8 Dok sam promatrao rogove, izraste najedanput drugi mali rog meåu onima i tri se prva roga iæçupala od njega. Na ovomu rogu bile su oçi æto su izgledale kao oçi çovjeçje i usta æto su govorila drske govore. 9 Dok sam joæ gledao, bili su postavljena prijestolja i Pradavni zauzeo mjesto. Njegova odjeøa bila je bijelo kao snijeg, i kosa mu na glavi kao çista vuna. Prijestolje mu bilo plamen ognjeni, kotaçi mu kao oganj razgoren. 10 Rijeka je ognjena izlazila od njega i tekla dalje. Tisuøu tisuøa sluœili mu i deset tisuøa po deset tisuøa stajalo pred njim. I sud sjede i knjige se otvore. 11 Dok sam joæ uvijek gledao zbog glasnih, drskih govora koja je govorio onaj rog, onda sam vidio kako bi ubijena ta œivotinja, tijelo se njezino raskomadalo i predalo raœarenom ognju. 12 I ostalim œivotinjama bila je uzeta moø njihova, jer je samo na odreåeno vrijeme bila utvråena duœina œivota njihova. 13 Dok sam joæ imao noøna viåenja, doæao je najedanput jedan, koji je izgledao kao Sin Çovjeçji na oblacima nebeskim. Kad je bio doæao do Pradavnoga, doveli su ga pred njega. 14 I dade se njemu vlast, çast i kraljevstvo. Njemu moraju sluœiti svi narodi, plemena i jezici. Vlast njegova trajat øe vjeçno i neøe nikada proøi. Nikada neøe prestati njegovo

-964Daniel Daniel asked him the truth of all this. So he told me and made kraljevstvo. 15 Ja, Daniel, zadrhtao sam zbog toga na cijeknown to me the interpretation of these things: 17 ‘Those great beasts, which are four, are four kings lom tijelu.

On mi odgovorio i rekao je æto to znaçi: forever and ever.’ 19 Then I wished to know the truth about the fourth 17 ‘Çetiri velike œivotinje znaçe çetiri kralja koji beast, which was different from all the others, ex- øe nastati na zemlji. ceedingly dreadful, with its teeth of iron and its nails 18 Ali øe potom sveci Sveviænjega dobiti kraof bronze, which devoured, broke in pieces, and ljevstvo posjedovat øe kraljevstvo dovijeka i zauvijek.’ trampled the residue with its feet; 20 and about the ten horns that were on its head, and 19 Htio sam doznati i o çetvrtoj œivotinji koja se about the other horn which came up, before which razlikovala od svih drugih i bila je vrlo straæna, three fell, namely, that horn which had eyes and a koja je imala zube œeljezne i nokte mjedene, mouth which spoke pompous words, whose appear- koja je jela i satirala i æto je preostalo, nogama pogazila; ance was greater than his fellows. 21 I was watching; and the same horn was making 20 i o deset rogova na njezinoj glavi, i o drugom war against the saints, and prevailing against them, rogu, koji je izrastao i tri su pred njim roga 22 until the Ancient of Days came, and a judgment otpala, o rogu, naime, onom koji je imao oçi i was made in favor of the saints of the Most High, and usta æto su govorila drske govore i koji je izthe time came for the saints to possess the kingdom. gledao veøi od ostalih. 23 Thus he said: ‘The fourth beast shall be a fourth 21 I bio sam vidio kako je taj rog vojevao sa kingdom on earth, which shall be different from all svecima i nadvlaåivao ih, other kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, 22 dok nije doæao Pradavni i dok nije bilo dano pravo svecima Sveviænjega, i dok nije prispjelo trample it and break it in pieces. 24 The ten horns are ten kings who shall arise from vrijeme da sveci preuzmu vlast. this kingdom.

As for me, Daniel, 27 Onda øe se kraljevstvo, vlast i moø nad kramy thoughts greatly troubled me, and my counte- ljevstvima pod svim nebom dati narodu nance changed; but I kept the matter in my heart.” svetaca Sveviænjega.

Lice se moje promijenilo, ali sam dogaåaj saçuvao u pameti svojoj.”

In the third year of the reign of King Belshazzar a vision appeared to me–to me, Daniel–after the one that appeared to me the first time. 2 I saw in the vision, and it so happened while I was looking, that I was in Shushan, the citadel, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in the vision that I was by the River Ulai. 3 Then I lifted my eyes and saw, and there, standing beside the river, was a ram which had two horns, and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher one came up last. 4 I saw the ram pushing westward, northward, and southward, so that no beast could withstand him; nor was there any that could deliver from his hand, but he did according to his will and became great. 5 And as I was considering, suddenly a male goat came from the west, across the surface of the whole earth, without touching the ground; and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes.

Viåenje o drugom i treøem kraljevstvu

U treøoj godini vladanja kralja Belæazara imao sam ja, Daniel, poslije viåenja æto mi se najprije pokazalo, joæ drugo. 2 Vidio sam ovo viåenje: Gledao sam kako sam bio u prijestolnom gradu Susi, koji leœi u pokrajini Elamu. I to sam vidio u viåenju da sam bio na rijeci Ulaju. 3 Kad sam pogledao oko sebe, vidio sam najedanput ovna gdje stoji pokraj rijeke, i imao je dva roga. Rogovi su bili veliki. Jedan je bio veøi od drugoga. Veøi je bio narastao poslije. 4 Vidio sam ovna gdje bode na zapad, na sjever i na jug. Nijedna œivotinja nije mu mogla odoljeti i od sile se njegove izbaviti. Çinio je æto je htio i osilio se. 5 Dok sam joæ gledao, dolazio je najedanput jarac od zapada povrh sve zemlje, a da se nije doticao zemlje. Jarac je imao snaœan rog iznad

I had seen standing beside the river, and ran at him 6 Kad je bio doæao do ovna s dva roga æto sam ga vidio gdje stoji pokraj rijeke, navali na njega with furious power. 7 And I saw him confronting the ram; he was moved silnim gnjevom. with rage against him, attacked the ram, and broke 7 Vidio sam onda gdje posve blizu i izaziva his two horns.

In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the lineage of the Medes, who was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans– 2 in the first year of his reign I, Daniel, understood by the books the number of the years specified by the word of the L ORD , given through Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem. 3 Then I set my face toward the LORD God to make request by prayer and supplications, with fasting, sackcloth, and ashes. 4 And I prayed to the LORD my God, and made confession, and said, “O LORD, great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant and mercy with those who love him, and with those who keep his commandments, 5 we have sinned and committed iniquity, we have done wickedly and rebelled, even by departing from your precepts and your judgments. 6 Neither have we heeded your servants the prophets, who spoke in your name to our kings and our princes, to our fathers and all the people of the land. 7 O LORD, righteousness belongs to you, but to us shame of face, as it is this day–to the men of Judah, to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and all Israel, those near and those far off in all the countries to which you have driven them, because of the unfaithfulness which they have committed against you. 8 O LORD, to us belongs shame of face, to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, because we have sinned against you. 9 To the LORD our God belong mercy and forgiveness, though we have rebelled against him. 10 We have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets. 11 Yes, all Israel has transgressed your law, and has departed so as not to obey your voice; therefore the curse and the oath written in the Law of Moses the servant of God have been poured out on us, because we have sinned against him. 12 And he has confirmed his words, which he spoke against us and against our judges who judged us, by bringing upon us a great disaster; for under the whole heaven such never has been done as what has been done to Jerusalem. 13 As it is written in the Law of Moses, all this disaster has come upon us; yet we have not made our prayer before the LORD our God, that we might turn from our iniquities and understand your truth. 14 Therefore the LORD has kept the disaster in mind, and brought it upon us; for the LORD our God is righteous in all the works which he does, though we have not obeyed his voice. 15 And now, O LORD our God, who brought your people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and made yourself a name, as it is this day–we have sinned, we have done wickedly! 16 O LORD, according to all your righteousness, I pray, let your anger and your fury be turned away from your city Jerusalem, your holy mountain; because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and your people have become a reproach to all who are around us. 17 Now therefore, our God, hear the prayer of your

Sedamdeset godiænjih tjedana

U prvoj godini Darija, sina Ahasverova, iz plemena Medijaca, koji je bio postao kralj nad kraljevstvom Kaldejaca, 2 u prvoj godini njegova vladanja naæao sam ja, Daniel, u knjigama na broj godina za koje øe po proroçanstvu Gospodinovu proroku Jeremiji leœati Jeruzalem u ruæevinama, naime, sedamdeset godina. 3 Upravio sam svoje lice k Bogu, Gospodinu, i poçeo sam se moliti i vapiti u postu, kostrijeti i pepelu. 4 Molio sam se Gospodinu, svojem Bogu, i priznavao: “Gospodine, Boœe veliki i straæni! Ti drœiæ zavjet milosti onima koji te ljube i drœe tvoje zapovijedi. 5 Mi smo grijeæili i krivo çinili, bili smo bezboœni, pobunili smo se i odstupili od tvojih zapovijedi i propisa. 6 Nismo sluæali tvojih sluga, proroka, koji su govorili u tvoje Ime naæim kraljevima, naæim glavarima i naæim oçevima i svemu narodu u zemlji. 7 Ti si, Gospodine, pravedan, a stidno rumenilo moralo bi udariti u lice na danaænji dan nas, sve ljude Judine, stanovnike jeruzalemske i sav narod izraelski, blizu i daleko po svim zemljama, kamo si ih rastjerao zbog nevjernosti koju su ti poçinili. 8 Gospodine, stidno rumenilo moralo bi u lice udariti nas, naæe kraljeve, naæe glavare i naæe oçeve, jer smo sagrijeæili tebi. 9 Ali je u Gospodina, naæega Boga, milosråe i oproætenje za to æto smo se pobunili protiv njega. 10 Nismo sluæali glasa Gospodina, svojega Boga, da hodimo po zakonima njegovim, koje nam je dao preko svojih sluga, proroka. 11 Sav je Izrael prestupao tvoj zakon, otpadao je, a da nije sluæao glasa tvojega. Prokletstvo i kletva, kako stoje napisani u zakonu Mojsija, sluge Boœjega, izlili su se na nas, jer smo mu sagrijeæili. 12 On je pustio da se na nama i na sucima naæim, koji su vladali nama, ispuni prijetnja njegova, da øe nas udariti nesreøom velikom, kakva se nikada nije dogodila pod nebom osim u Jeruzalemu. 13 Kako stoji napisano u Mojsijevu zakonu, tako se sruæila na nas sva ta nesreøa. A mi nismo umilostivili Gospodina, svojega Boga, nismo se vratili od svojih grijeha i nismo marili za tvoju vjernost. 14 Tako je Gospodin naumio da spusti nesreøu na nas, jer je Gospodin, naæ Bog, pravedan u svim svojim djelima koja çini, jer nismo bili sluæali njegova glasa. 15 I eto, Gospodine, Boœe naæ, koji si izveo svoj narod iz Egipta jakom rukom i stekao sebi Ime do danaænjega dana, mi smo sagrijeæili i krivo çinili. 16 Odustani, Gospodine, po svoj svojoj dobroti od gnjeva i jarosti svoje nad gradom svojim Jeruzalemom i nad svetom gorom svojom, jer je zbog naæih grijeha i zbog bezakonja naæih ota-

In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a message was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar. The message was true, but the appointed time was long; and he understood the message, and had understanding of the vision. 2 In those days I, Daniel, was mourning three full weeks. 3 I ate no pleasant food, no meat or wine came into my mouth, nor did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled. 4 Now on the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, that is, the Tigris, 5 I lifted my eyes and looked, and behold, a certain man clothed in linen, whose waist was girded with gold of Uphaz! 6 His body was like beryl, his face like the appearance of lightning, his eyes like torches of fire, his arms and feet like burnished bronze in color, and the sound of his words like the voice of a multitude. 7 And I, Daniel, alone saw the vision, for the men who

Anåeo se prikazuje Danielu na Tigrisu

U treøoj godini perzijskoga kralja Kira bilo je dano jedno objavljenje Danielu, koji se zvao Belteæazar. Ovo je objavljenje istinito i govori o velikoj nevolji. On je razumio objavljenje, poæto mu je jedno viåenje otvorilo razumijevanje. 2 Onda sam ja, Daniel, bio u œalosti tri tjedna. 3 Jela teçna nisam jeo, meso i vino nisu ulazili u moja usta i nisam se mazao dok nisu proæla tri tjedna. 4 Kad sam se dvadeset çetvrtoga dana prvoga mjeseca naæao na obali velike rijeke Tigrisa, 5 i oko sebe pogledao, onda stade pred mene jedan çovjek, odjeven u platno, a oko bedara svojih nosio je pojas od çistoga zlata. 6 Tijelo mu je sjalo kao krizolit i kao munja sijevalo mu lice. Oçi su mu bile kao zublje ognjene. Njegove ruke i njegove noge blistale su kao mjed uglaåena, a zvuk njegova glasa bio je

Also in the first year of Darius the Mede, I, even I, stood up to confirm and strengthen him.) 2 And now I will tell you the truth: Behold, three more kings will arise in Persia, and the fourth shall be far richer than them all; by his strength, through his riches, he shall stir up all against the realm of Greece. 3 Then a mighty king shall arise, who shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will. 4 And when he has arisen, his kingdom shall be broken up and divided toward the four winds of heaven, but not among his posterity nor according to his dominion with which he ruled; for his kingdom shall be uprooted, even for others besides these. 5 Then the king of the South shall become strong, as well as one of his princes; and he shall gain power over him and have dominion. His dominion shall be a great dominion.

At that time Michael shall stand up, the great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people; And there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation, even to that time. and at that time your people shall be delivered, every one who is found written in the book. 2 And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, some to shame and everlasting contempt. 3 Those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament, and those who turn many to righteousness like the stars forever and ever. 4 But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.” 5 Then I, Daniel, looked; and there stood two others, one on this riverbank and the other on that riverbank. 6 And one said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, “How long shall the fulfillment of these wonders be?” 7 Then I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by him who lives forever, that it shall be for a time, times, and half a time; and when the power of the holy people has been completely shattered, all these things shall be finished. 8 Although I heard, I did not understand. Then I said, “My LORD, what shall be the end of these things?” 9 And he said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. 10 Many shall be purified, made white, and refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand. 11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice is taken away, and the abomination of desolation is set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred and ninety days. 12 Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days. 13 But you, go your way till the end; for you shall rest, and will arise to your inheritance at the end of the days.”

U ono vrijeme podignut øe se Mihael, veliki vladar anåeo, koji zaætiøuje sinove tvojega naroda. Bit øe vrijeme tjeskobe kakve nije bilo nikada otkako je naroda do onoga vremena, ali øe se tvoj narod spasiti u ono vrijeme i svi koji se naåu zapisani u knjizi. 2 Mnogi od onih koji spavaju u prahu zemaljskom probudit øe se, jedni na œivot vjeçni, drugi na sramotu i prijekor vjeçni. 3 Koji su mudri sjat øe kao sjajno nebo, i oni koji su mnoge privodili k pravednosti kao zvijezde u sve vjekove. 4 A ti, Daniele, zatvori ova objavljenja! Zapeçati ovu knjigu do posljednjega vremena! Mnogi øe je istraœivati i znanje øe se umnoœiti.” 5 Onda sam ja, Daniel, najedanput vidio gdje stoje druga dva anåela, jedan s ove strane, drugi s one strane rijeke. 6 Jedan je upitao çovjeka odjevena u platno koji je stajao nad vodom u rijeci: “Kad øe biti kraj ovim çudesnim stvarima?” 7 Çuo sam kako se çovjek, odjeven u platno stajao nad vodom u rijeci, podiœuøi svoju desnicu i ljevicu svoju k nebu zakleo onim koji œivi vjeçno. Ovo øe se sve ispuniti poslije jednoga vremena, dva vremena i pola vremena, çim se svræi uniætenje moøi svetoga naroda. 8 Çuo sam to, ali nisam razumio, pa sam upitao: “Moj gospodaru æto znaçi posljednje od ovih stvari?” 9 On je odgovorio: “Idi, Daniele, jer do posljednjega vremena ostaju zatvorene i zapeçaøene ove rijeçi! 10 Mnogi øe se oçistiti, ubijeliti i okuæati. Bezboœnici øe raditi bezboœno. Bezboœnici neøe to razumjeti, ali øe poboœnici to spoznati. 11 Od vremena kad se ukine œrtva svakidaænja i postavi sramotna odurnost bit øe tisuøu i dvjesta i devedeset dana. 12 Blagoslovljen je onaj koji ustraje i doçeka tisuøu i tri stotine i trideset i pet dana! 13 A ti idi svojim putom u susret svræetku! Sada smijeæ poçivati i na svræetku dana ustat øeæ i primiti svoju baætinu.”

The word of the LORD that came to Hosea the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel. 2 When the LORD began to speak by Hosea, the LORD said to Hosea: “Go, take yourself a wife of harlotry and children of harlotry, for the land has committed great harlotry by departing from the LORD.” 3 So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and bore him a son. 4 Then the LORD said to him: “Call his name Jezreel, for in a little while I will avenge the bloodshed of Jezreel on the house of Jehu, and bring an end to the

Rijeç Gospodinova doæla je Hosei, sinu Beerijevu, u dane Judinih kraljeva Uzije, Jotama, Ahaza i Ezekije i u dane Jeroboama, sina Joaæova, kralja Izraelova. 2 Kad je Gospodinov poçeo govoriti Hosei. Gospodin je rekao Hosei: “Idi, uzmi sebi bludnicu za œenu i izrodi djecu bludniçku, jer je i zemlja nevjerna Gospodinu!” 3 Onda je on otiæao i oœenio se Gomerom, køerju Diblaimovom, ona je zatrudnjela i rodila mu sina. 4 Onda mu rekao Gospodin: “Nadjeni mu ime

Say to your brethren, ‘My people,’ and to your sisters, ‘Mercy is shown.’ 2 Bring charges against your mother, bring charges; for she is not my wife, nor am I her Husband! Let her put away her harlotries from her sight, and her adulteries from between her breasts; 3 Lest I strip her naked and expose her, as in the day she was born, and make her like a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and slay her with thirst. 4 I will not have mercy on her children, for they are the children of harlotry. 5 For their mother has played the harlot; she who conceived them has done shamefully. For she said, ‘I will go after my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my linen, my oil and my drink.’ 6 Therefore, behold, I will hedge up your way with thorns, and wall her in, so that she cannot find her paths. 7 She will chase her lovers, but not overtake them; yes, she will seek them, but not find them. Then she will say, ‘I will go and return to my first husband, for then it was better for me than now.’ 8 For she did not know that I gave her grain, new wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold– which they prepared for Baal. 9 Therefore I will return and take away my grain in its time and my new wine in its season, and will take back my wool and my linen, given to cover her nakedness. 10 Now I will uncover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and no one shall deliver her from my hand. 11 I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her New Moons, her Sabbaths–all her appointed feasts. 12 And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees, of which she has said, ‘these are my rewards that my lovers have given me.’ So I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them. 13 I will punish her for the days of the Baals to which she burned incense. She decked herself with her earrings and jewelry, And went after her lovers. Then she forgot me, says the LORD. 14 Therefore, behold, I will allure her, will bring her

Majçin grijeh i kazna

Zovite onda svoju braøu ‘Moj narod,’ i svoje sestre ‘Pomilovana.’ 2 Pozovite svoju majku na odgovor! Pozovite je na odgovor, jer mi ona nije viæe œena i ja joj viæe nisam muœ. Neka ukloni znakove idolske s svojega lica i idolske kipove sa svojih prsiju. 3 Inaçe svuøi øu s nje odjeøu njezinu i uçinit øu je kakva je bila kad se tek rodila. Napravit øu je kao pustinju i naçinit øu je kao suhu zemlju, i pustit øu je da umre od œeåi. 4 I neøu ætedjeti ni djece njezine, jer su djeca bludniçka. 5 Jer je bila bludnica majka njihova, koja ih je rodila, çinila je sramotu, jer je govorila: ‘Trçat øu za svojim ljubavnicima, koji mi daju kruh i vodu, vunu i lan, ulje i piøe.’ 6 Zato øu ti trnjem zagraditi put, podignut øu zid da viæe ne naåeæ svojih putova. 7 Onda moœeæ trçati za svojim ljubavnicima, ali ih viæe neøeæ stiøi, moœeæ ih traœiti, ali ih viæe neøeæ naøi. Onda øeæ reøi: ‘Ustat øu, vratit øu se k prvomu svojem muœu, jer mi je bilo onda bolje nego sada.’ 8 Ali ona neøe znati da sam joj davao œito, vino i ulje, da sam joj darovao mnogo srebra i zlata koje su upotrijebili za idolske kipove Baala. 9 Zato øu uzeti opet natrag u svoje vrijeme œito svoje, u svoje doba vino svoje. Oduzet øu joj opet vunu svoju i lan svoj, kojim je pokrivala golotinju svoju. 10 I otkrit øu njezinu sramotu pred njezinim ljubavnicima: nitko je neøe oteti mojoj ruci. 11 Uçinit øu kraj svakoj njezinoj nasladi, njezinim Svetkovinama i mlaåacima, Subotnjim danima i njezinim Sveçanim gozbama. 12 Potrt øu çokote njezine i smokve za koje je rekao: ‘To je plaøa æto su mi je dali moji ljubavnici.’ Pretvorit øu ih u pustoæ, u paænjak za poljske œivotinje. 13 Za sveçanosti Baalove kaznit øu je, u koje im je œrtvovala, kitila se nauænicama i grivnama i trçala za svojim ljubavnicima, a mene zaboravila, govori Gospodin.

Then the LORD said to me, “Go again, love a woman who is loved by a lover and is committing adultery, just like the love of the LORD for the sons of Israel, who look to other gods and love the raisin cakes of the pagans.” 2 So I bought her for myself for fifteen shekels of silver, and one and one-half homers of barley. 3 And I said to her, “You shall stay with me many days; you shall not play the harlot, nor shall you have a man; thus I will also be toward you.” 4 For the sons of Israel shall abide many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or sacred pillar, without ephod or teraphim. 5 Afterward the sons of Israel shall return, seek the LORD their God and David their king, and fear the LORD and his goodness in the latter days.

Çujte rijeç Gospodinovu, djeco Izraelova: Gospodin podiœe tuœbu protiv stanovnika zemaljskih: “U zemlji nema viæe vjernosti, nema poboœnosti, nema spoznaje Boga. 2 Kriva kletva i laœ, umorstvo, kraåa i preljubniætvo vladaju. Krvavo se djelo reda za krvavim djelom. 3 Zato tuguje zemlja i gine sve æto prebiva u njoj, zajedno sa œivotinjama poljskim i pticama nebeskim i ribe øe u moru izginuti. 4 Zaista, neka se nitko ne prepire, neka nitko ne kudi!

Hear the word of the LORD, you children of Israel, for the LORD brings a charge against the inhabitants of the land: “There is no truth or mercy or knowledge of God in the land. 2 By swearing and lying, killing and stealing and committing adultery, they break all restraint, with bloodshed after bloodshed. 3 Therefore the land will mourn; and everyone who dwells there will waste away with the beasts of the field and the birds of the air; even the fish of the sea will be taken away. 4 Now let no man contend, or reprove another, for your people are like those who contend with the priest. 5 Therefore you shall stumble in the day; the prophet also shall stumble with you in the night; and I will destroy your mother. 6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.

Potom mi je dalje rekao Gospodin: “Idi, ljubi œenu koja se daje ljubiti od drugoga i çini preljub, kao æto Gospodin ljubi Izraelove sinove, a oni prianjaju za tuåe bogove i œude kolaçe groœåa neznaboœaca!” 2 Onda sam kupio sebi œenu za petnaest æekela srebra i za homer i letek jeçma. 3 Onda sam joj rekao: “Dugo vremena imaæ œivjeti zarobljena da ne uçiniæ niæta zlo i da se ne mijeæaæ s drugim muœevima, i ja se neøu mijeæati s tobom.” 4 Jer øe dugo vremena biti Izraelci zarobljeni bez kralja, bez vladara, bez œrtve, bez stupa, bez efoda i bez terafima. 5 Ali øe se poslije Izraelci obratiti i traœit øe Gospodina, svojega Boga, i Davida, svojega kralja, i podloœit øe se puni strahopoætovanja Gospodinu i spasenje øe njegovo zagrliti na svræetku vremena.

For the spirit of harlotry niçki zaludio.

A narod je u tom nerazufer sacrifices with a ritual harlot. Therefore people man i tako propada. 15 Ako ti, Izraele, çiniæ sluœbu idolsku, neka who do not understand will be trampled. 15 Though you, Israel, play the harlot, let not Judah ipak ne sagrijeæi Juda!

His going forth is established as the morning; he will come to us like the rain, like the latter and former rain to the earth. 4 “O Ephraim, what shall I do to you? O Judah, what shall I do to you? For your faithfulness is like a morning cloud, and like the early dew it goes away. 5 Therefore I have hewn them by the prophets, I have slain them by the words of my mouth; and your judgments are like light that goes forth. 6 For I desire mercy and not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings. 7 But like men they transgressed the covenant; there they dealt treacherously with me. 8 Gilead is a city of evildoers, and is defiled with blood. 9 As bands of robbers lie in wait for a man, so the company of priests murder on the way to Shechem; surely they commit lewdness. 10 I have seen a horrible thing in the house of Israel: there is the harlotry of Ephraim; Israel is defiled. 11 Also, O Judah, a harvest is appointed for you, when I return the captives of my people.

When I would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim was uncovered, and the wickedness of Samaria. For they have committed fraud; the thief comes in; A band of robbers takes spoil outside. 2 They do not consider in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness; now their own deeds have surrounded them; they are before my face. 3 They make a king glad with their wickedness, and princes with their lies. 4 They are all adulterers. like an oven heated by a baker–he ceases stirring the fire after kneading the dough, until it is leavened. 5 In the day of our king princes have made him sick, inflamed with wine; he stretched out his hand with scoffers. 6 They prepare their heart like an oven, while they lie in wait; their baker sleeps all night; in the morning it burns like a flaming fire. 7 They are all hot, like an oven, and have devoured their judges; All their kings have fallen. There is none among them who calls upon me. 8 Ephraim has mixed himself among the peoples; Ephraim is a cake unturned. 9 Aliens have devoured his strength, but he does not

Kao zora on øe sigurno doøi; kao zimska kiæa siøi øe nam, kao kasna kiæa koja natapa zemlju. 4 “Efraime, æto da ti uçinim? Juda, æto da ti uçinim?

Onda je moja presuda udarila u oçi kao svjetlost. 6 Jer ja œelim poboœnost, ne œrtve zaklanice, spoznaja Boœja viæe nego œrtve paljenice. 7 Ali su oni prekræili zavjet u Adamu; ondje su mi postali nevjerni. 8 Gilead je grad pun opaçina, poækropljen krvlju. 9 Druœina je sveøeniçka kao razbojniçka grupa. Oni ubijaju na putu u Æekem i çine zlodjela. 10 Strahotu sam vidio u kuøi Izraelovoj. Ondje Efraim çini idolopoklonstvo, Izrael se oneçistio. 11 Tebi, Judo, veø je odreåena œetva, kad okrenem sudbinu svojega naroda. Prevrat za prevratom

Kad hoøu lijeçiti Izraela, pokaœe se grijeh Efraimov i zloøa Samarijina, jer oni çine samo prijevaru: lupeœi provaljuju. Vani robe zloçinci. 2 Ne govore sebi da ja pamtim svaku zloøu njihovu. Sada stoje oko njih njihova djela, leœe otvoreno pred mojim oçima. 3 U zloøi svojoj pomazuju kraljeve, u nevjernosti svojoj glavare. 4 Svekoliki su laœni sudruzi. Kao peø su naloœena. Pekar prestane grijati i mijesiti tijesto dok uskisne. 5 Na svetkovinu kralja naæega plamte glavari od vina. On pruœa svoju ruku podsmjevaçima. 6 Oni plamte kao peø. Srce je njihovo puno lukavstva. Svu noø spava pekar; ujutro plane peø kao plameni oganj. 7 Svi oni plamte kao peø i proœdiru svoje vladare. Svi su njihovi kraljevi bili svrgnuti, ali ni jedan od njih nije povikao meni. 8 Efraim se mijeæa s neznaboæcima, Efraim je pogaça æto se nije prevrnula. 9 Stranci mu jedu mozak; on to ne opaœa.

Set the trumpet to your mouth! He shall come like an eagle against the house of the LORD, Because they have transgressed my covenant and rebelled against my law. 2 Israel will cry to me, ‘My God, we know you!’ 3 Israel has cast off the good; the enemy will pursue him. 4 They set up kings, but not by me; they made princes, and I did not acknowledge it. From their silver and gold they made idols for themselves–that they might be cut off. 5 Your calf is rejected, O Samaria! My anger is aroused against them. How long will it be until they attain to innocence? 6 For from Israel is even this: a workman made it, and it is not God; But the calf of Samaria shall be broken to pieces. 7 They sow the wind, and reap the whirlwind. The stalk has no bud; it shall never produce meal. If it should produce, aliens would swallow it up. 8 Israel is swallowed up; now they are among the Gentiles like a vessel in which there is no pleasure. 9 For they have gone up to Assyria, like a wild donkey alone by itself; Ephraim has hired lovers. 10 Yes, though they have hired among the nations, now I will gather them; and they shall sorrow a little, because of the burden of the king of princes. 11 Because Ephraim has made many altars for sin, they have become for him altars for sinning. 12 I have written for him the great things of my law, But they were considered a strange thing. 13 For the sacrifices of my offerings they sacrifice flesh and eat it, but the LORD does not accept them. Now he will remember their iniquity and punish their sins. They shall return to Egypt. 14 For Israel has forgotten his Maker, and has built temples; Judah also has multiplied fortified cities; but I will send fire upon his cities, and it shall devour his palaces.”

Onda øe doskora prestati kraljeve i glavare pomazivati. 11 Mnoge œrtvenike gradi Efraim da grijeæi; oni su mu postali navod na grijeh. 12 I da mu propiæem tisuøu zakona, njemu su oni kao tuåi. 13 Œrtve zaklanice vole se–i kolju. Meso se voli–i jedu. Gospodin ih ne prima. On se sada sjeøa njihove krivnje i kaœnjava njihove grijehe. Vratit øe se u Egipat. 14 Izrael je zaboravio svojega Stvoritelja i gradio je kuøe.

Israel empties his vine; he brings forth fruit for himself. According to the multitude of his fruit he has increased the altars; According to the bounty of his land they have embellished his sacred pillars. 2 Their heart is divided; now they are held guilty. He will break down their altars; he will ruin their sacred pillars. 3 For now they say, “We have no king, Because we did not fear the LORD. and as for a king, what would he do for us?” 4 They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant. Thus judgment springs up like hemlock in the furrows of the field. 5 The inhabitants of Samaria fear because of the calf of Beth Aven. For its people mourn for it, and its priests shriek for it–because its glory has departed from it. 6 The idol also shall be carried to Assyria as a present for King Jareb.

When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son. 2 As they called them; so they went from them, They sacrificed to the Baals, and burned incense to carved images. 3 I taught Ephraim to walk, taking them by their arms; but they did not know that I healed them. 4 I drew them with gentle cords, with bands of love, and I was to them as those who take the yoke from their neck. I stooped and fed them. 5 He shall not return to the land of Egypt; but the Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to repent. 6 And the sword shall slash in his cities, devour his districts, and consume them, because of their own counsels. 7 My people are bent on backsliding from me. Though they call to the Most High, none at all exalt him. 8 How can I give you up, Ephraim? How can I hand you over, Israel? How can I make you like Admah? How can I set you like Zeboiim? My heart churns within me; my sympathy is stirred. 9 I will not execute the fierceness of my anger; I will not again destroy Ephraim. For I am God, and not man, the Holy One in your midst; and I will not come with terror. 10 They shall walk after the LORD. He will roar like a lion. When he roars, then his sons shall come trembling from the west; 11 they shall come trembling like a bird from Egypt, like a dove from the land of Assyria. And I will let them dwell in their houses, says the LORD. 12 Ephraim has encompassed me with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit; but Judah still walks with God, even with the Holy One who is faithful.

Kad je bio Izrael mlad, zavolio sam ga i pozvao svojega sina iz Egipta. 2 Ali æto sam ih viæe pozivao, to su oni dalje odlazili od mene, jer su œrtvovali Baalima i kadili idolima. 3 A ipak sam ja Efraima vodio rukom i podizao ga na svoje ruke, ali oni nisu spoznali da sam bio Spasitelj njihov. 4 Vezama dobrote vukao sam ih k sebi, uœadima ljubavi. S njihove æije skidao sam kao jaram, saginjao sam se k njemu, davao mu hranu. 5 Natrag mora Efraim u Egipat! Kralj njegov neka bude Asirac, jer su odbili povratak. 6 U gradovima njihovim bjesnjet øe maç, razbit øe njihove prijevornice, œderat øe ih zbog njihovih namjera. 7 Moj narod naginje tomu da se odvrati od mene. Zovu li ga gore, ni jedan se ne podiœe. 8 Kako bih te mogao dati, Efraime, bih li te mogao predati, Izraele? Kako bih te mogao predati kao Admu, kako bih te mogao uniætiti kao Seboimu? Ne, uznemiri se u meni moje srce; propinje se sav moj osjeøaj. 9 Neøu uçiniti po jarosti svojega gnjeva. Ne mogu Efraima opet uniætiti, jer sam ja Bog a ne çovjek, u tvojoj sredini Svetac. Ne dolazim ti u jarosti gnjeva. 10 Hodat øe za Gospodinom. On øe zvati rikom lava. Na njegov poziv doøi øe dræøuøi djeca Izraelova sa zapada, 11 kao ptice doøi øe dræøuøi iz Egipta, kao golubovi iz Asirije. U kuøe njihove vodim ih opet natrag, govori Gospodin. 12 Efraim me opkoljava laœju, kuøa Izraelova prijevarom, ali Juda joæ uvijek hoda s Bogom, sa Svecem vjernim.

When Ephraim spoke, trembling, he exalted himself in Israel; but when he offended in Baal, he died. 2 Now they sin more and more, and have made for themselves molded images, idols of their silver, according to their skill; all of it is the work of craftsmen. They say of them, “Let the men who sacrifice kiss the calves!” 3 Therefore they shall be like the morning cloud and like the early dew that passes away, like chaff blown off from a threshing floor and like smoke from a chimney. 4 “Yet I am the LORD your God ever since the land of Egypt, and you shall know no God but me; for there is no savior besides me. 5 I knew you in the wilderness, in the land of great drought. 6 When they had pasture, they were filled; they were filled and their heart was exalted; therefore they forgot me. 7 So I will be to them like a lion; like a leopard by the road I will observe them; 8 I will meet them like a bear deprived of her cubs; I will tear open their rib cage, and there I will devour them like a lion. The wild beast shall tear them. 9 O Israel, you are destroyed, but your help is from me. 10 I will be your King; where is any other, that he may save you in all your cities? And your judges to whom you said, ‘Give me a king and princes’? 11 I gave you a king in my anger, and took him away in my wrath. 12 The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is stored up. 13 The sorrows of a woman in childbirth shall come

Efraimove krivnje

Kad je nekoø govorio Efraim, vladao je strah, jer je bio moøan u Izraelu, ali kada je pao u krivnju zbog Baala, onda je poginuo. 2 I sada joæ grijeæe dalje, grade sebi liveni kip od srebra po uzoru idola. Sve je loæe djelo umjetnika. O njima govore: “Neka ljudi ljubiju bikove!” 3 Zato øe biti kao oblak jutarnji, kao prolazna rosa rana, kao pljeva æto se razleti s gumna, kao dim æto ide kroz reæetke. 4 “A ja, Gospodin, jesam tvoj Bog od Egipta. Neøeæ poznati Boga osim mene; osim mene nema pomoønika. 5 Brinuo sam se za te u pustinji, u zemlji suæe. 6 Uz dobru paæu nasitili su se. Jest, kad su se nasitili, uzoholilo se njihovo srce, zato su me zaboravili. 7 Zato øu im postati lav, vrebat øu na putu kao ris. 8 Napast øu ih kao medvjedica kojoj su ugrabili mlade i rastrgat øu im srce u grudima. Ondje øe ih proœderati lavovi, zvijeri øe ih poljske rastrgati. 9 To je nesreøa tvoja, Izraele; tvoja pomoø dolazi od mene? 10 Gdje je kralj tvoj da te izbavi u svim tvojim gradovima? I svi glavari tvoji za koje si govorio: ‘Daj mi kralja i glavare!’ 11 Dajem ti kralja u svojem gnjevu i uzimam ga opet u svojoj jarosti. 12 Krivnja je Efraimova dobro spremljena; grijeh je njegov dobro skriven. 13 Bolovi rodilje doøi øe na njega, ali je on ludo dijete, jer se u pravo vrijeme nije rodio. 14 Ja øu ih izbaviti od vlasti Podzemlja, od smrti

Joel

The word of the LORD that came to Joel the son of Pethuel. 2 Hear this, you elders, and give ear, all you inhabitants of the land! Has anything like this happened in your days, or even in the days of your fathers? 3 Tell your children about it, let your children tell their children, and their children another generation. 4 What the chewing locust left, the swarming locust has eaten; what the swarming locust left, the crawling locust has eaten; and what the crawling locust left, the consuming locust has eaten. 5 Awake, you drunkards, and weep; and wail, all you drinkers of wine, because of the new wine, for it has been cut off from your mouth. 6 For a nation has come up against my land, strong, and without number; his teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he has the fangs of a fierce lion. 7 He has laid waste my vine, and ruined my fig tree; he has stripped it bare and thrown it away; its branches are made white. 8 Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth. 9 The grain offering and the drink offering have been cut off from the house of the LORD; the priests mourn, who minister to the LORD.

Blow the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble; for the day of the LORD is coming, for it is at hand: 2 a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, like the morning clouds spread over the mountains. A people come, great and strong, the like of whom has never been; nor will there ever be any such after them, even for many successive generations. 3 A fire devours before them, and behind them a flame burns; the land is like the Garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; surely nothing shall escape them. 4 Their appearance is like the appearance of horses; and like swift steeds, so they run. 5 With a noise like chariots over mountaintops they leap, like the noise of a flaming fire that devours the stubble, like a strong people set in battle array. 6 Before them the people writhe in pain; all faces are drained of color. 7 They run like mighty men, they climb the wall like men of war; every one marches in formation, and they do not break ranks. 8 They do not push one another; every one marches in his own column. And when they lunge between the weapons, they are not cut down. 9 They run to and fro in the city, they run on the wall; they climb into the houses, they enter at the windows like a thief. 10 The earth quakes before them, the heavens tremble; the sun and moon grow dark, and the stars diminish their brightness. 11 The LORD gives voice before his army, for his camp is very great; for strong is the One who executes his word. For the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; who can endure it? 12 Now, therefore, says the LORD, “Turn to me with all

Sigurno niæta neøe pobjeøi od njega. 4 Izgledaju kao konji i trçe kao konjanici. 5 Topoøu i skaçu kao kola po vrhuncima gora, kao praskajuøi plameni pale strnjiku, kao silna vojska spremna za boj. 6 Pred njima dræøu narodi i crvenilom se zaœare sva lica. 7 Kao junaci navaljuju, kao ratnici penju se na zid. Svaki ide svojim putom i ne odstupaju sa svojih staza. 8 Jedan drugoga ne tiska; svaki stupa svojom stazom. I meåu strijelama prodiru bez zastajanja, 9 Udaraju na grad, trçe po zidovima, penju se na kuøe kao lupeœi i ulaze kroz prozore. 10 Pred njima se trese zemlja, podrhtavaju nebesa. Sunce i mjesec su pomrçali, svjetlost se zvijezda ugasila. 11 I Gospodin jeçi glasom svojim pred svojom vojskom, jer je njegova vojska vrlo velika, mnogobrojni su izvræitelji njegove rijeçi. Jest, velik je dan Gospodinov i vrlo straæan–tko øe ga podnijeti? 12 Ali i sada joæ govori Gospodin: “Svim srcem obratite se k meni posteøi, plaçuøi i tugujuøi! 13 Razderite svoja srca a ne svoje haljine!

For behold, in those days and at that time, when I bring back the captives of Judah and Jerusalem, 2 I will also gather all nations, and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; and I will enter into judgment with them there on account of my people, my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations; they have also divided up my land. 3 They have cast lots for my people, have given a boy in exchange for a harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they may drink. 4 Indeed, what have you to do with me, O Tyre and Sidon, and all the coasts of Philistia? Will you retaliate against me? But if you retaliate against me, swiftly and speedily I will return your retaliation upon your own head; 5 because you have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my prized possessions. 6 Also the people of Judah and the people of Jerusalem you have sold to the Greeks, that you may remove them far from their borders. 7 Behold, I will raise them out of the place to which you have sold them, and will return your retaliation upon your own head. 8 I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the people of Judah, and they will sell them to the Sabeans, to a people far off; for the LORD has spoken.” 9 Proclaim this among the nations: “Prepare for war! Wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near, let them come up. 10 Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruninghooks into spears; let the weak say, ‘I am strong.’ ” 11 Assemble and come, all you nations, and gather together all around. Cause your mighty ones to go down there, O LORD. 12 Let the nations be wakened, and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; for there I will sit to judge all the surrounding nations. 13 Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Come, go down; for the winepress is full, the vats overflow–for their wickedness is great.” 14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision. 15 The sun and moon will grow dark, and the stars will diminish their brightness. 16 The LORD also will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; the heavens and earth will shake; but the LORD will be a shelter for his people, and the strength of the sons of Israel. 17 So you shall know that I am the LORD your God, dwelling in Zion my holy mountain. then Jerusalem shall be holy, and no aliens shall ever pass through her again.” 18 And it will come to pass in that day that the mountains shall drip with new wine, the hills shall flow with milk, and all the brooks of Judah shall be flooded with water; a fountain shall flow from the house of the LORD and water the Valley of Acacias. 19 Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom a desolate wilderness, because of violence against the people of Judah, for they have shed innocent blood in their land. 20 But Judah shall abide forever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation. 21 For I will acquit them of bloodguilt, whom I had not acquitted; for the LORD dwells in Zion.”

Jer gle, u one dane i u ono vrijeme kad okrenem sudbinu Jude i Jeruzalema, 2 sve øu sve narode skupiti i svesti u dolinu Joæafat. Ondje øe se suditi s njima zbog Izraela, svojega naroda i vlasniætva, jer su ga razasuli meåu neznaboæce i razdijelili moju zemlju. 3 Oni su bacali su œdrijeb na moj narod, davali sina za bludnicu i prodavali djevojku za vino da bi pijançili. 4 I vi, æto imate vi sa mnom, o Tire i Sidone i svi krajevi Filistejce? Hoøete li moœda da mi platite æto sam vam uçinio? Ili da mi æto uçinite? Brzo øu ja uçiniti, da vaæa djela padnu na vaæu glavu. 5 Jer ste ugrabili moje srebro i zlato, moje dragocjeno blago odnijeli ste u svoje hramove. 6 Djecu Judinu i jeruzalemsku prodali ste Grcima da ih maknete iz domovine njihove. 7 Evo, ja øu ih dignuti iz mjesta kamo ste ih prodali i uçinit øu da vaæa djela padnu na vaæu glavu. 8 Vaæe sinove i køeri prodat øu sinovima Judinim; oni øe ih prodati Sabejcima, narodu æto prebiva daleko. Jer Gospodin je to izrekao.” 9 Objavite ovo neznaboæcima: “Oruœajte se! Podiœite ratnike! Neka izaåu i doåu svi vojnici! 10 Raskujte raonike svoje u maçeve, kosire svoje u koplja! Slabi neka rekne: ‘Junak sam!’ 11 Ustanite, doåite svi, vi neznaboæci okolni, i skupite se! Ondje svedi, o Gospodine, junake svoje! 12 Ustanite, narodi! Idite u dolinu Joæafat, jer øu ondje sjesti da sudim svim neznaboæcima unaokolo. 13 Prihvatite za srp jer je œetva zrela. Ustanite, stupite, jer je tijesak pun.

Jeruzalem øe onda biti svetiæte, i neznaboæci neøe viæe u njega stupiti. 18 U ono øe vrijeme gore kapati slatkim vinom, breœuljci øe proteøi mlijekom, i svim potocima Judinim teøi øe voda. U Gospodinovu domu provret øe izvor da natopi dolinu akacija. 19 Egipat øe postati pustinja, Edom gola pustinja zbog opaçine uçinjene sinovima Judinim, jer su prolili krv neduœnu u njihovoj zemlji. 20 A Juda øe biti naseljen zauvijek, Jeruzalem kroz sve naraætaje. 21 Osvetit øu krv njihovu, koju joæ nisam osvetio.

The words of Amos, who was among the herds men of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel, two years before the earthquake. 2 And he said: “The LORD roars from Zion, and utters his voice from Jerusalem; the pastures of the shepherds mourn, and the top of Carmel withers.” 3 Thus says the LORD: “For three transgressions of Damascus, and for four, I will not turn away its punishment, because they have threshed Gilead with implements of iron. 4 But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, which shall devour the palaces of Ben-Hadad. 5 I will also break the gate bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant from the Valley of Aven, and the one who holds the scepter from Beth Eden. the people of Syria shall go captive to Kir,” says the LORD. 6 Thus says the LORD: “For three transgressions of Gaza, and for four, I will not turn away its punishment, because they took captive the whole captivity to deliver them up to Edom. 7 But I will send a fire upon the wall of Gaza, which shall devour its palaces. 8 I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and the one who holds the scepter from Ashkelon; I will turn my hand against Ekron, and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, says the LORD God. 9 Thus says the LORD: “For three transgressions of Tyre, and for four, I will not turn away its punishment, because they delivered up the whole captivity to Edom, and did not remember the covenant of brotherhood. 10 But I will send a fire upon the wall of Tyre, which shall devour its palaces.” 11 Thus says the LORD: “For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, I will not turn away its punishment, because he pursued his brother with the sword, and cast off all pity; his anger tore perpetually, and he kept his wrath forever. 12 But I will send a fire upon Teman, which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.” 13 Thus says the LORD: “For three transgressions of the people of Ammon, and for four, I will not turn away its punishment, because they ripped open the women with child in Gilead, that they might enlarge their territory. 14 But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it shall devour its palaces, amid shouting in the day of battle, and a tempest in the day of the whirlwind. 15 Their king shall go into captivity, he and his princes together, says the LORD.

Govori Amosa, koji je pripadao stoçarima iz Tekoe. On je proricao o Izraelu u dane kralja Uzije Judina i u dane Jeroboama, sina Joaæova, kralja Izraelova, dvije godine prije potresa. 2 On je rekao: “Gospodin riçe sa Siona, iz Jeruzalema se diœe njegov glas. Tuguju paænjaci pastirski i vrhunac se Karmela posuæio.” 3 Ovako govori Gospodin: “Za tri opaçine Damaska, za çetiri neøu mu oprostiti; jer su vrhli Gilead œeljeznom branom. 4 Bacit øu oganj u kuøu Hazaelovu da proœdere tvråave Ben-Hadadove. 5 Polomit øu prijevornicu Damaska, uniætit øu stanovnike u dolini grijeha zajedno s nositeljima œezla iz kuøe raskoæne, Bet-Edena. Narod sirijski mora putovati u Kir,” govori Gospodin. 6 Ovako govori Gospodin: “Za tri opaçine Gaze, za çetiri neøu joj oprostiti–jer su ih do posljednjega çovjeka sve odveli da ih prodaju Edomu. 7 Bacit øu oganj na zidove Gaze, da proœdere tvråave njezine. 8 Uniætit øu stanovnike u Aædodu zajedno s nositeljima œezla iz Aækelona. Pruœit øu ruku protiv Ekrona i ostatak Filistejaca izginut øe,” govori Gospodin. 9 Ovako govori Gospodin: “Za tri opaçine Tira, za çetiri neøu mu oprostiti, jer ih je do posljednjega çovjeka sve izruçio Edomu, ne misleøi na savez bratski. 10 Bacit øu oganj u zidove Tira, da proœdere njegove tvråave.” 11 Ovako govori Gospodin: “Za tri opaçine Edoma, za çetiri neøu mu oprostiti–jer je progonio svojega brata maçem, uguæio saœaljenje, svoju jarost stalno çvrsto drœao, svoju srdœbu uvijek çuvao. 12 Bacit øu oganj na Teman, da proœdere tvråave u Bosri.” 13 Ovako govori Gospodin: “Za tri opaçine Amonaca, za çetiri neøu im oprostiti–jer su parali trudne œene u Gileadu, da raæire svoju zemlju. 14 Stavit øu oganj na zidove Rabe, da proœdere stanovnike njegove s vikom u dan boja, s burom u dan vihora. 15 Onda øe njihov kralj otiøi u ropstvo zajedno s glavarima svojim,” govori Gospodin.

Ovako govori Gospodin: “Uniæti opaçine Moaba, za çetiri neøu mu oprostiti, jer je vapnom spalio kosti kralja iz Edoma. 2 Bacit øu oganj na Moab da proœdere tvråave u Keritu. Moab øe poginuti u vrevi bojnoj s vikom i s glasom trube. 3 Iskorijenit øu vladara iz sredine njegove i podavit øu s njim sve njegove glavare,” govori Gospodin. 4 Ovako govori Gospodin: “Za tri opaçine Jude, za çetiri neøu mu oprostiti, jer su odbacili zakon Gospodinov, nisu drœali njegove uredbe, dali su se varati od idola laœnih, kojima su veø sluœili njihovi oçevi. 5 Bacit øu oganj na Judu, da proœdere tvråave

Thus says the LORD: “For three transgressions of Moab, and for four, I will not turn away its punishment, because he burned the bones of the king of Edom to lime. 2 But I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the palaces of Kerioth; Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting and trumpet sound. 3 And I will cut off the judge from its midst, and slay all its princes with him, says the LORD. 4 Thus says the LORD: “For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, I will not turn away its punishment, because they have despised the law of the LORD, and have not kept his commandments. their lies lead them astray, lies after which their fathers walked.

Hear this word that the LORD has spoken against you, O sons of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying: 2 “You only have I known of all the families of the earth; therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.” 3 can two walk together, unless they are agreed? 4 Will a lion roar in the forest, when he has no prey? Will a young lion cry out of his den, if he has caught nothing? 5 Will a bird fall into a snare on the earth, where there is no trap for it? Will a snare spring up from the earth, if it has caught nothing at all? 6 If a trumpet is blown in a city, will not the people be afraid? If there is calamity in a city, will not the LORD have done it? 7 Surely the LORD God does nothing, unless he reveals his secret to his servants the prophets. 8 A lion has roared! Who will not fear? The LORD God has spoken! Who can but prophesy? 9 Proclaim in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say: ‘Assemble on the mountains of Samaria; see great tumults in her midst, and the oppressed within her. 10 For they do not know to do right,’ says the LORD, ‘Who store up violence and robbery in their palaces.’ ” 11 Therefore thus says the LORD God: “An adversary shall be all around the land; he shall sap your strength from you, and your palaces shall be plundered.” 12 Thus says the LORD: “As a shepherd takes from the mouth of a lion two legs or a piece of an ear, so shall the sons of Israel be taken out who dwell in Samaria–in the corner of a bed and on the edge of a couch! 13 Hear and testify against the house of Jacob, says

Kazna Izraelu, razorenje Samarije

Çujte rijeç koju vam govori Gospodin, djeco Izraelova, svemu plemenu koje sam izveo iz Egipta: 2 “Samo vas izabrao sam izmeåu svih naroda zemaljskih. Zato dajem da okajate svu svoju krivnju. 3 Putuju li dvojica zajedno, a da ne poznaju jedan drugoga? 4 Riçe li lav u æumi, a da nema plijena? Daje li glas u æpilji laviø prije nego je æto uhvatio? 5 Pada li ptica u mreœu na zemlji ako ova ne çeka na nju? Diœe li se mreœa sa zemlje ako se ne uhvati? 6 Zatrubi li u gradu truba, a da se ne prestraæe ljudi? Snaåe li nesreøa grad da je nije uçinio Gospodin? 7 Ne, Gospodin Bog ne çini niæta, a da ne oçituje nakanu svoju svojim slugama: prorocima. 8 Kad rikne lav, tko da se onda ne prepadne? Kad Gospodin Bog, progovori tko da onda ne prorokuje? 9 Oglasite po tvråavama u Aædodu, po tvråavama u egipatskoj zemlji! Recite: ‘Skupite se na visinama Samarije! Gledajte divljanje u njoj, nasilja u njoj! 10 Zaboravili su çiniti pravo,’ govori Gospodin, ‘gomilaju nasiljem oteto blago u svojim dvorima.’ ” 11 Zato ovako govori Gospodin Bog: “Neprijatelj øe unaokolo opustoæiti zemlju i s tebe øe svuøi tvoju krasotu i kuøe tvoje bit øe oplijenjene.” 12 Ovako govori Gospodin: “Kao kad pastir istrgne iz çeljusti lavljih dvije koæøice ili samo resicu uha; tako øe se izbaviti samo malo

She lies forsaken on her land; there is no one to raise her up. 3 For thus says the LORD God: “The city that goes out by a thousand shall have a hundred left, and that which goes out by a hundred shall have ten left to the house of Israel.” 4 For thus says the LORD to the house of Israel: “Seek me and live;

Prijetnje glavarima u Izraelu

Hear this word, you cows of Bashan, who are on the mountain of Samaria, who oppress the poor, who crush the needy, who say to your husbands, “Bring wine, let us drink!” 2 The LORD God has sworn by his holiness: “Behold, the days shall come upon you when he will take you away with fishhooks, and your posterity with fishhooks. 3 You will go out through broken walls, each one straight ahead of her, and you will be cast into Harmon,” says the LORD. 4 “Come to Bethel and transgress, at Gilgal multiply transgression; bring your sacrifices every morning, your tithes every three days.” 5 Offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving with leaven, proclaim and announce the freewill offerings; for this you love, you sons of Israel!” says the LORD God. 6 “Also I gave you cleanness of teeth in all your cities. and lack of bread in all your places; yet you have not returned to me,” says the LORD. 7 “I also withheld rain from you, when there were still three months to the harvest. I made it rain on one city, I withheld rain from another city. One part was rained upon, and where it did not rain the part withered. 8 So two or three cities wandered to another city to drink water, but they were not satisfied; yet you have not returned to me,” says the LORD. 9 “I blasted you with blight and mildew. When your gardens increased, your vineyards, your fig trees, and your olive trees, The locust devoured them; yet you have not returned to me,” says the LORD. 10 “I sent among you a plague after the manner of Egypt; your young men I killed with a sword, along with your captive horses; I made the stench of your camps come up into your nostrils; yet you have not returned to me,” says the LORD. 11 “I overthrew some of you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were like a firebrand plucked from the burning; yet you have not returned to me,” says the LORD. 12 “Therefore thus will I do to you, O Israel; and because I will do this to you, prepare to meet your God, O Israel!” 13 For behold, he who forms mountains, and creates the wind, who declares to man what his thought is, and makes the morning darkness, who treads the high places of the earth–The LORD God of hosts is his name.

Thus the LORD God showed me: Behold, he formed locust swarms at the beginning of the late crop; indeed it was the late crop after the king’s mowings. 2 And so it was, when they had finished eating the grass of the land, that I said: “O LORD God, forgive, I pray! Oh, that Jacob may stand, for he is small!” 3 So the LORD relented concerning this. “It shall not be,” said the LORD. 4 Thus the LORD God showed me: Behold, the LORD God called for conflict by fire, and it consumed the great deep and devoured the territory. 5 Then I said: “O LORD God, cease, I pray! Oh, that Jacob may stand, for he is small!” 6 So the LORD relented concerning this. “This also shall not be,” said the LORD God. 7 Thus he showed me: Behold, the LORD stood on a wall made with a plumb line, with a plumb line in his hand. 8 And the LORD said to me, “Amos, what do you see?” And I said, “A plumb line.” Then the LORD said: “Behold, I am setting a plumb line in the midst of my people Israel; I will not pass by them anymore. 9 The high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste. I will rise with the sword against the house of Jeroboam.” 10 Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, “Amos has conspired against you in the midst of the house of Israel. The land is not able to bear all his words. 11 For thus Amos has said: ‘Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away cap-

Ovo mi je Gospodin Bog pokazao: Gle, uçini da postanu skakavci kad je poçela nicati otava–bila je to trava iza kraljeve kosidbe. 2 Kad su bili sasvim izjeli zelen zemlje, onda sam se pomolio: “Gospodine Boœe, oprosti, molim te! Neka bi opstao Jakov, jer je tako malen.” 3 Onda se saœali Gospodinu. “To se neøe dogoditi,” govori Gospodin. 4 Ovo mi je dao Gospodin Bog da gledam: Gle, Gospodin Bog pozvao oganj za kaznu. Oganj proœdrije veliki bezdan i uniæti baætinu Gospodinovu. 5 Onda sam rekao: “O Gospodine Boœe, odustani, molim te! Neka bi opstao Jakov, jer je tako malen.” 6 Onda se zbog toga saœali Gospodinu. “Ni to se neøe dogoditi,” govori Gospodin Bog. 7 Ovo mi je pokazao: Gle, Gospodin je stajao pred jednim zidom i drœao je visak u svojoj ruci. 8 I upitao me Gospodin: “Æto vidiæ, Amose?” Ja sam odgovorio: “Visak.” Onda je rekao Gospodin: “Evo, ja øu staviti visak posred Izraela, svojega naroda; neøu ga viæe ætedeøi prolaziti. 9 Neka se opustoæe visine Izakove i razore svetiæta Izraelova!

Thus the LORD God showed me: Behold, a basket of summer fruit. 2 And he said, “Amos, what do you see?” So I said, “A basket of summer fruit.” Then the LORD said to me: “The end has come upon my people Israel; I will not pass by them anymore. 3 And the songs of the temple shall be wailing in that day, says the LORD God–”Many dead bodies everywhere, they shall throw them out in silence.” 4 Hear this, you who swallow up the needy, and make the poor of the land fail, 5 Saying: “When will the New Moon be past, that we may sell grain? And the Sabbath, that we may trade our wheat? Making the ephah small and the shekel large, falsifying the balances by deceit, 6 that we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of sandals–even sell the bad wheat?” 7 The LORD has sworn by the pride of Jacob: “Surely I will never forget any of their works. 8 Shall the land not tremble for this, and everyone mourn who dwells in it? all of it shall swell like the River, heave and subside like the River of Egypt. 9 And it shall come to pass in that day,” says the LORD God, “That I will make the sun go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in broad daylight; 10 I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; I will bring sackcloth on every waist, and baldness on every head; I will make it like mourning for an only son, and its end like a bitter day. 11 Behold, the days are coming,” says the LORD God, “That I will send a famine on the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD. 12 They shall wander from sea to sea, and from north to east; they shall run to and fro, seeking the word of the LORD, but shall not find it. 13 In that day the fair virgins and strong young men shall faint from thirst. 14 Those who swear by the sin of Samaria, who say, ‘As your god lives, O Dan!’ and, ‘As the way of Beersheba lives!’ They shall fall and never rise again.”

Viåenje koæarice sa zrelim voøem

Ovo mi je Gospodin Bog pokazao: Gle, tu je bila koæarica sa zrelim voøem. 2 I on me upitao: “Æto vidiæ, Amose?” Ja sam odgovorio: “Koæaricu sa zrelim voøem.” Onda mi je rekao Gospodin: “Dolazi kraj mojem narodu Izraelu; neøu ga viæe ætedeøi prolaziti. 3 Pjesme u kuøi bit øe naricanje u onaj dan, govori Gospodin Bog, “Velik øe biti broj mrtvih tjelesa; svuda øe se pobacati, tiho!” 4 Çujte ovo koji gazite siromaha, upropaæøujete maloga çovjeka! 5 Govorite: “Kad li øe proøi mlaåak da prodajemo œito i kad Subotnji dan da moœemo otvoriti œitnice? Mi bismo smanjili mjeru, poveøali uteg i varajuøi krivotvorili mjerila. 6 Kupovat øemo siromaha za novce, ubogoga za par opanaka, i prodavati otraœak œita.” 7 Ali se Gospodin zakleo slavom Jakovljevom: “Nikada neøu zaboraviti nijednoga njihova djela. 8 Ne mora li se zemlja potresti od toga, ne moraju li protuœiti svi njezini stanovnici, tako da se ona posvuda podigne kao Rijeka i uskipi i padne kao Rijeka u Egiptu? 9 U onaj øe se dan dogoditi”, govori Gospodin Bog, “i uçinit øu da sunce iæçezne u podne i pomraçit øu zemlju usred bijela dana. 10 Pretvorit øu vaæe Svetkovine u œalost, sve pjesme vaæe u naricanje za mrtvim.

I saw the LORD standing by the altar, and he said: “Strike the doorposts, that the thresholds may shake, and break them on the heads of them all. I will slay the last of them with the sword. He who flees from them shall not get away, and he who escapes from them shall not be delivered. 2 Though they dig into hell, from there my hand shall take them; though they climb up to heaven, from there I will bring them down; 3 And though they hide themselves on top of Carmel, from there I will search and take them; though they hide from my sight at the bottom of the sea, from there I will command the serpent, and it shall bite them; 4 Though they go into captivity before their enemies, from there I will command the sword, and it shall slay them. I will set my eyes on them for harm and not for good.” 5 The LORD God of hosts, he who touches the earth and it melts, and all who dwell there mourn; all of it shall swell like the River, and subside like the River of Egypt. 6 He who builds his layers in the sky, and has founded his strata in the earth; who calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the face of the earth– the LORD is his name. 7 “Are you not like the people of Ethiopia to me, O sons of Israel?” says the LORD. “Did I not bring up Israel from the land of Egypt, the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir? 8 Behold, the eyes of the LORD God are on the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from the face of the earth; yet I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob,” says the LORD. 9 “For surely I will command, and will sift the house of Israel among all nations, as grain is sifted in a sieve; yet not the smallest grain shall fall to the ground. 10 All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, who say, ‘The calamity shall not overtake us nor confront us.’ 11 On that day I will raise up The tabernacle of David, which has fallen down, and repair its damages; I will raise up its ruins, and rebuild it as in the days od old; 12 that they may possess the remnant of Edom, and all the Gentiles who are called by my name,” says the LORD who does this thing. 13 “Behold, the days are coming,” says the LORD, “When the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him who sows seed; the mountains shall drip with sweet wine, and all the hills shall flow with it. 14 I will bring back the captives of my people Israel; they shall build the waste cities and inhabit them; they shall plant vineyards and drink wine from them; They shall also make gardens and eat fruit from them. 15 I will plant them in their land, and no longer shall they be pulled up from the land I have given them,” says the LORD your God.

Vidio sam Svemoønoga gdje stoji na œrtveniku i govori: “Udari na glavicu stupa da se potresu grede i razmrskaj ih da padnu na glavu svima! Maçem øu pobiti one koji ostanu œivi. Neøe pobjeøi izmeåu njih ni jedan; ni jedan koji je utekao od njih, neøe se moøi spasiti! 2 I ako bi provalili u svijet mrtvih, i odatle øe ih izvaditi moja ruka. I da bi se popeli do na nebo, i odatle øu ih skinuti. 3 I kad bi se sakrili gore na Karmelu, ondje øu ih pronaøi i uzeti. I da se sakriju ispred mene na dnu mora, ondje øu zapovjediti œivotinjama morskim da ih uniæte. 4 I da odu u ropstvo pred svojom neprijateljima, i ondje øu zapovjediti maçu da ih pobije. Upravit øu svoje oko njima na nesreøu, a ne na spasenje.” 5 Gospodin Bog vojska, koji se dotakne zemlje, tako da se ona rastapa i tuguju svi njezini stanovnici, da se diœe posvuda kao Rijeka i spuæta se kao Rijeka u Egiptu. 6 On, koji je sagradio u nebu odaje svoje, svod svoj osnovao na zemlji. On, koji zove vode morske i izlijeva ih po zemlji–Gospodin je njegovo Ime! 7 “Vrijedite li mi viæe, o Izraelovi sinovi negoli Etiopljani,” govori Gospodin. “Jest, izveo sam Izraela iz Egipta, ali isto tako Filistejce iz Kaftora i Sirijce iz Kira. 8 Gle, na grijeæno kraljevstvo oçi su Gospodina Boga upravljene. Sa zemlje øu ga zatrti, ali neøu sasvim zatrti kuøe Jakovljeve,” govori Gospodin. 9 “Jer, evo, dat øu zapovijed i rastrest øu meåu sve neznaboœaçke narode kuøu Izraelovu, kao æto se trese œito u reæetu; nijedno dobro zrno neøe pasti na zemlju. 10 Od maça øe poginuti svi zlikovci u narodu mojem, koji sad govore: ‘Nas neøe pogoditi nesreøa i neøe nas dostignuti!’ 11 U ono vrijeme podignut øu raspali æator Davidov, zatvorit øu njegove pukotine, popravit øu njegove ruæevine, sagradit øu ga kako je bio u dane proælosti, 12 da posjeduju æto je ostalo od Edoma i sve neznaboœaçke narode koji se mojim Imenom,” govori Gospodin koji izvræuje ovo. 13 “Evo, doøi øe dani,” govori Gospodin, “kad øe oraç stizati œeteoca, gnjeçilac groœåa sijaça. Gore øe kapati slatkim vinom, i svi øe se breœuljci rastapati. 14 Onda øu okrenuti sudbinu Izraela, svojega naroda: oni øe sagraditi opustoæene gradove i stanovati u njima, nasadit øe vinograde i piti vino iz njih, nasadit øe vrtove i uœivati njihove plodove. 15 Posadit øu ih u njihovu zemlju da se viæe ne iæçupaju iz svoje zemlje koju sam im dao,” govori Gospodin, tvoj Bog.

Jonah

Jona

Now the word of the LORD came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, 2 Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry out against it; for their wickedness has come up before me.” 3 But Jonah arose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD. He went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish; so he paid the fare, and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD. 4 But the LORD sent out a great wind on the sea, and there was a mighty tempest on the sea, so that the ship was about to be broken up. 5 Then the mariners were afraid; and every man cried out to his god, and threw the cargo that was in the ship into the sea, to lighten the load. But Jonah had gone down into the lowest parts of the ship, had lain down, and was fast asleep. 6 So the captain came to him, and said to him, “What do you mean, sleeper? Arise, call on your God; perhaps your God will consider us, so that we may not perish.” 7 And they said to one another, “Come, let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this trouble has come upon us.” So they cast lots, and the lot fell on Jonah. 8 Then they said to him, “Please tell us! For whose cause is this trouble upon us? What is your occupation? And where do you come from? What is your country? And of what people are you?” 9 And he said to them, “I am a Hebrew; and I fear the LORD, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the dry land.” 10 Then the men were exceedingly afraid, and said to him, “Why have you done this?” For the men knew that he fled from the presence of the LORD, because he had told them. 11 Then they said to him, “What shall we do to you that the sea may be calm for us?”–for the sea was growing more tempestuous. 12 And he said to them, “Pick me up and throw me into the sea; then the sea will become calm for you. For I know that this great tempest is because of me.” 13 Nevertheless the men rowed hard to bring the ship to land, but they could not, for the sea continued to grow more tempestuous against them. 14 Therefore they cried out to the LORD and said, “We pray, O LORD, please do not let us perish for this man’s life, and do not charge us with innocent blood; for you, O LORD, have done as it pleased you.” 15 So they picked up Jonah and threw him into the sea, and the sea ceased from its raging. 16 Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice to the LORD and made vows. 17 Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.

Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from the fish’s belly. 2 And he said: “I cried out to the LORD because of my affliction, and he answered me. Out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and you heard my voice. 3 For you cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the floods surrounded me; all your billows and your waves passed over me. 4 Then I said, ‘I have been cast out of your sight; yet I will look again toward your holy temple.’

Rijeç Gospodinova doæla je Joni, sinu Amitajevu, govoreøi: 2 “Ustani, idi u Ninivu, grad veliki, i propovijedaj ondje, jer je njihova zloøa prodrla do mene.” 3 A Jona je ustao da pobjegne od Gospodina u Taræiæ. Siæao je u Jopu i naæao ondje laåu koja je iæla u Taræiæ. Platio vozarinu i ukrcao se da se odveze daleko od Gospodina u Taræiæ. 4 Ali Gospodin poslao silan vjetar na more i nastala na moru jaka bura, tako da se laåa skoro razbila. 5 Laåari su se prestraæili i svaki zvao svojega boga. Bacali su u more sprave laåine da bi s tim olakæali laåu. A Jona je bio siæao na dno laåe, legnuo i zaspao. 6 Onda pristupi k njemu kapetan laåe i upitao ga: “Æto ti spavaæ? Ustani i prizivaj svojega Boga, pa moœda nam se smiluje tvoj Bog da ne poginemo.” 7 I rekli su jedan drugomu: “Doåite, bacit øemo œdrijeb da vidimo çijom krivnjom nas pogodila ova nesreøa!” Bace dakle œdrijeb i pao je œdrijeb na Jonu. 8 Onda su mu rekli: “Daj da znamo çijom nas krivnjom pogodila ova nesreøa! Kakav je tvoj obrt? Odakle ideæ? Gdje ti je postojbina? I od kojega si naroda!” 9 On im odgovorio: “Ja sam Hebrejac i ætujem Gospodina, Boga nebeskoga, koji je stvorio more i suhu zemlju.” 10 Onda se ljudi vrlo prestraæe i upitaju ga: “Zaæto si to uçinio?” Ljudi su znali da je on pobjegao ispred Gospodina, jer im je to rekao. 11 Upitaju ga, govoreøi: “Æto øemo çiniti s tobom da se more smiri?” More je, naime, buçilo sve œeæøe. 12 Onda ih on zamoli: “Uzmite me i bacite me u more! Onda øe more odustati od vas, jer znam, da je zbog mene doæla na vas ova velika bura.” 13 A ljudi su veslali da opet doåu na zemlju, ali nisu mogli, jer je more navaljivalo sve œeæøe na njih. 14 Onda poviçu Gospodinu: “Ah, Gospodine, ne daj da poginemo zbog œivota ovoga çovjeka! Nemoj to staviti na nas kao neduœno proljevenu krv, nego uçini, Gospodine, æto je tebi milo!” 15 Potom su uzeli Jonu i bace ga u more i more prestalo buçiti. 16 Ali se ljudi vrlo prestraæili Gospodina, pa su prinijeli œrtvu Gospodinu i uçinili zavjet. 17 A Gospodin je zapovjedio, te je velika riba progutala Jonu. Tri dana i tri noøi ostao je Jona u utrobi ribe. Jonina molitva i izbavljenje

Onda se Jona pomolio u utrobi ribe Gospodinu, svojem Bogu. 2 On je rekao: “Iz tjeskobe svoje zavapio sam Gospodinu i on mi je dao odgovor. Iz utrobe podzemnoga svijeta povikao sam za pomoø, i ti si çuo moj glas. 3 Ti si me bacio u dubinu, u srce moru, da me je optekla voda. Sve poplave tvoje i valovi tvoji prelazili su preko mene. 4 Pomislio sam: ‘Odbaçen sam ispred tvojih

Now the word of the LORD came to Jonah the second time, saying, 2 Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach to it the message that I tell you.” 3 So Jonah arose and went to Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city, a three-day journey in extent. 4 And Jonah began to enter the city on the first day’s walk. Then he cried out and said, “Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!” 5 So the people of Nineveh believed God, proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest to the least of them. 6 Then word came to the king of Nineveh; and he arose from his throne and laid aside his robe, covered himself with sackcloth and sat in ashes. 7 And he caused it to be proclaimed and published throughout Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, “Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anything; do not let them eat, or drink water. 8 But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily to God; yes, let every one turn from his evil way and from the violence that is in his hands. 9 Who can tell if God will turn and relent, and turn away from his fierce anger, so that we may not perish?” 10 Then God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God relented from the disaster that he had said he would bring upon them, and he did not do it.

But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he be came angry. 2 So he prayed to the LORD, and said, “Ah, LORD, was not this what I said when I was still in my country? Therefore I fled previously to Tarshish; for I know that you are a gracious and merciful God, slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, One who relents from doing harm. 3 Therefore now, O LORD, please take my life from me, for it is better for me to die than to live!” 4 Then the LORD said, “Is it right for you to be angry?” 5 So Jonah went out of the city and sat on the east side of the city. There he made himself a shelter and sat under it in the shade, till he might see what would become of the city. 6 And the LORD God prepared a plant and made it come up over Jonah, that it might be shade for his head to deliver him from his misery. So Jonah was very grateful for the plant. 7 But as morning dawned the next day God prepared

Propovijed Jonina u Ninivi i njezin uspjeh

Ovo je rijeç Gospodinova koja je doæla Joni po drugi put, govoreøi: 2 “Ustani, idi u Ninivu, grad veliki, i drœi mu propovijed koju sam ti zapovjedio!” 3 Jona ustao je i otiæao u Ninivu po zapovijedi Gospodinovu. Niniva je bila nekoø grad silno velik, tri dana hoda dug. 4 Jona je poçeo ulaziti u grad prvoga dana hoda. Onda poçeo propovijedati, govoreøi: “Joæ çetrdeset dana i Niniva øe propasti!” 5 Ninivljani su povjerovali Bogu, oglasili su post i odjenuli se, veliki i mali, u pokorniçke haljine. 6 Vijest o tom doprije i do kralja u Ninivi, i on je ustao sa svojega prijestolja, svukao sa sebe svoj ogrtaç, zamotao se u pokorniçku haljinu i sjede u pepeo. 7 Onda izda zapovijed i dao ju proglasiti u Ninivi, objavom kralja i njegovih glavara, govoreøi: “Ljudi ni œivotinje, ni goveda, ni ovce ne smiju okusiti niæta! Ne pustite ih iøi na paænjake ni na pojiliæta, 8 Nego se moraju, çovjek i stoka, pokriti haljinama œalosti! Neka se glasno zaziva Bog i neka svatko odustane od svojega zla puta i opakoga svojih djela ruku! 9 Tko zna, moœda øe odustati Bog i smiriti se od ljutoga svojeg gnjeva, tako da ipak ne izginemo.” 10 Kada je Bog vidio njihova djela, da su odustali od svojega zla puta, onda se saœali Bogu zbog nesreøe, kojom im je bio zaprijetio, i nije ju uçinio.

Ozlovoljenoga Jonu Bog pouçava

Ali to vrlo ozlovoljilo Jonu i on se rasrdio. 2 Ovako se on pomolio Gospodinu: “Ah, Gospodine, to je eto ono æto sam mislio kad sam joæ bio u svojoj postojbini! Upravo zato htio sam prije pobjeøi u Taræiæ, jer znao sam da si ti Bog milostiv i milosrdan, strpljiv i bogat milosråem i saœaliæ se zbog nesreøe. 3 A sada Gospodine, uzmi ipak moj œivot od mene, jer je bolje za me da umrem nego da œivim!” 4 Ali ga Gospodin samo upitao: “Je li pravo od tebe da si tako zlovoljan?” 5 Onda je iziæao Jona iz grada i sjedne na istoku grada. Napravio ondje sebi kolibu i sjedio je pod njom u sjeni da vidi æto øe se dogoditi gradu. 6 I Bog, Gospodin, dao je da se izvije bræljan, koji je izrastao nad Jonom da njegovoj glavi pruœi sjenu i da ga izlijeçi od njegove zlovolje.

Micah

1

The word of the LORD that came to Micah of Moresheth in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem. 2 Hear, all you peoples! listen, O earth, and all that is in it! Let the LORD God be a witness against you, the LORD from his holy temple. 3 For behold, the LORD is coming out of his place; he will come down and tread on the high places of the earth. 4 The mountains will melt under him, and the valleys will split like wax before the fire, like waters poured down a steep place. 5 All this is for the transgression of Jacob and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? Is it not Samaria? And what are the high places of Judah? Are they not Jerusalem? 6 Therefore I will make Samaria a heap of ruins in the field, places for planting a vineyard; I will pour down her stones into the valley, and I will uncover her foundations. 7 All her carved images shall be beaten to pieces, and all her pay as a harlot shall be burned with the fire; all her idols I will lay desolate, for she gathered it from the pay of a harlot, and they shall return to the pay of a harlot.” 8 Therefore I will wail and howl, I will go stripped and naked; I will make a wailing like the jackals And a mourning like the ostriches, 9 For her wounds are incurable. For it has come to Judah; it has come to the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem. 10 Tell it not in Gath, weep not at all in Beth Aphrah, roll yourself in the dust. 11 Pass by in naked shame, you inhabitant of Shaphir; the inhabitant of Zaanan does not go out. Beth Ezel mourns; Its place to stand is taken away from you. 12 For the inhabitant of Maroth pined for good, but disaster came down from the LORD to the gate of Jerusalem. 13 O inhabitant of Lachish, harness the chariot to the swift steeds (She was the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion), for the transgressions of Israel were found in you.

Sud Boœjega gnjeva nad Samarijom i Judom

Rijeç Gospodinova doæla je Miheji iz Moreæeta u vrijeme Judinih kraljeva Jotama, Ahaza i Ezekije. O Samariji i Jeruzalemu imao je on ova viåenja. 2 Çujte, sva plemena! Sluæaj, zemljo i æto prebiva u njoj! Gospodin Bog podiœe se na vas s tuœbom, Gospodin iz svojega svetog doma. 3 Gle, veø ostavlja Gospodin svoje mjesto, silazi, hoda po visovima zemaljskim. 4 Pod njim se rastapaju gore, pucaju doline kao vosak pred œeravicom, kao voda æto æumi niz strminu. 5 To sve zbog opaçina Jakovljevih, zbog grijeha Izraelove kuøe! Koje je zloçinstvo Jakovljevo? Nije li Samarija? Koje su visine Judine? Nije li Jeruzalem? 6 Stoga uçinit øu od Samarije hrpu kamenja na njivi, rasadnik vinove loze. Pobacat øu kamenje njezino u dolinu. Otkrit øu joj temelje. 7 Svi rezbareni kipovi njezini bit øe razbijeni. Svi bludniçki darovi njezini spalit øe se u ognju. Sve øu idole njezine potrti, jer se od plaøe bludniçke to skupilo, neka to opet bude plaøa bludniçka! 8 Zbog toga øu plakati i tugovati; bos øu hoditi, bez gornje haljine; podignut øu plaç kao çaglji, podignut øu viku kao nojevi. 9 Nikada ne zacijeli rana æto joj je zadana, gnoji se dalje sve do Jude, zahvata ona glavni grad mojega naroda–Jeruzalem. 10 Ne javljajte to u Gatu! Ne plaçite u Akonu! U Bet-Leafri valjajte se u praæini! 11 Idite, ljudi od Æafira, s golom sramotom; stanovniætvo Saanana ne izlazi. Tugovanje u BetHazaelu ne da vam da ostanete ondje. 12 Za dobro svoje dræøu stanovnici u Marotu, jer od Gospodina silazi nesreøa do na vrata Jeruzalema. 13 Upregnite brze konje u bojna kola, ljudi od Lakiæa! On je bio poçetak grijehu køeri sionske. Opaçine Izraelove nauçile su se u tebi. 14 Zato se daje i tebi otpusna knjiga, MoreæetGate! Kuøe u Akzibu prevarit øe glavare Izraelove.

-995Mikah Mihej 14 Therefore you shall give presents to Moresheth 15 Baætinika tebi øu dovesti, stanovniætvo u Gath; the houses of Achzib shall be a lie to the kings Mareæi! U Adulam dolazi plemstvo Izraelovo. 16 Oæiæaj glavu sebi do koœe zbog ljubljene of Israel. 15 I will yet bring an heir to you, O inhabitant of svoje djece! Uçini glavu sebi golom naæiroko Mareshah; the glory of Israel shall come to Adullam. kao u jastrijeba, jer se ona odvode od tebe. 16 Make yourself bald and cut off your hair, because of your precious children; enlarge your baldness like an eagle, for they shall go from you into captivity.

Woe to those who devise iniquity, And work out evil on their beds! At morning light they practice it, Because it is in the power of their hand. 2 They covet fields and take them by violence, also houses, and seize them. So they oppress a man and his house, a man and his inheritance. 3 Therefore thus says the LORD: “Behold, against this family I am devising disaster, from which you cannot remove your necks; nor shall you walk haughtily, for this is an evil time. 4 In that day one shall take up a proverb against you, and lament with a bitter lamentation, and say: ‘We are utterly destroyed! He has changed the heritage of my people; how he has removed it from me! To a turncoat he has divided our fields.’ ” 5 Therefore you will have no one to determine boundaries by lot in the congregation of the LORD. 6 “Do not prophesy,” you say to those who prophesy. So they shall not prophesy to you; they shall not return insult for insult. 7 You who are named the house of Jacob: “Is the Spirit of the LORD restricted? Are these his doings? Do not my words do good to him who walks uprightly? 8 Lately my people have risen up as an enemy–you pull off the robe with the garment from those who trust you, as they pass by, like men returned from war. 9 The women of my people you cast out from their pleasant houses; from their children you have taken away my glory forever. 10 Arise and depart, for this is not your rest; because it is defiled, it shall destroy you, even with utter destruction. 11 If a man should walk in a false spirit and speak a lie, saying, ‘I will prophesy to you of wine and drink,’ even he would be the prattler of this people. 12 I will surely assemble all of you, O Jacob, I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together like sheep of the fold, like a flock in the midst of their pasture; they shall make a loud noise because of so many men. 13 The one who breaks open will come up before them; they will break out, pass through the gate, and go out by it; their king will pass before them, with the LORD at their head.”

And I said: “Hear now, O heads of Jacob, and you rulers of the house of Israel: Is it not for you to know justice? 2 You who hate good and love evil; who strip the skin from my people, and the flesh from their bones; 3 Who also eat the flesh of my people, flay their skin from them, break their bones, and chop them in pieces like meat for the pot, Like flesh in the caldron.” 4 Then they will cry to the LORD, but he will not hear them; he will even hide his face from them at that time, because they have been evil in their deeds. 5 Thus says the LORD concerning the prophets who make my people stray; who chant “Peace” while they chew with their teeth, But who prepare war against him Who puts nothing into their mouths: 6 Therefore you shall have night without vision, and you shall have darkness without divination; the sun shall go down on the prophets, and the day shall be

Teæko onima koji smiæljaju opako i snuju zlo na svojim posteljama da to izvræe kad svane, je im je vlast u ruci! 2 Sviåa li im se njiva, otmu je nasiljem, i kuøa, oduzmu je. Çine silu çovjeku i njegovoj kuøi, gospodaru i njegovoj baætini . 3 Zato ovako govori Gospodin: “Pazite, snujem jaram nesreøe tomu rodu, iz kojega neøete izvuøi svojih vratova, niti øete hodati uspravno pod njim, jer øe biti zlo vrijeme. 4 U onaj øe se dan pjevati rugalica o vama. Pjevat øe se pjesma ovakvom tuœbom: ‘Uniæteni smo potpuno! Prodaje on baætinu mojega naroda. Ah, kako mi ju odvlaçi!

Neøe vratiti psovku za psovku.” 7 Ne govori li se kuøi Jakovljevoj: “Je li Duh Gospodinov samo pun gnjeva? Jesu li njegova djela takva? 8 Upravo se vi diœete kao neprijatelji protiv mojega naroda. S haljinama otimate i ogrtaç s onih koji odlaze bezazleno koji neøe svaåe. 9 Œene mojega naroda izgonite iz kuøe njihove miline i njihovoj djeci otimate moju slavu zauvijek: 10 Ustanite, idite, jer ovdje viæe nema opstanka zbog neçistoøe koja donosi pogibiju, neizljeçivu pogibiju. 11 Kad bi çovjek iæao za prijevarom i govorio laœ, govoreøi: ‘Kad bih ti propovijedao o vinu i o silovitu piøu,’ jest, onda bih ja bio prorok svojem narodu. 12 Skupit øu, jest skupit øu te svega, o Jakove! Skupit øu zaista ostatak Izraelov i sastavit øu ih kao ovce na paænjaku, kao stado u toru, da bruji od ljudi. 13 Pred njima øe onda iøi onaj koji probija. Oni øe probiti, proøi øe kroz vrata i iziøi øe. Kralj øe njihov iøi pred njima, s Gospodinom na çelu.” Grijeh laœnih proroka, propast Jeruzalema

Ja sam rekao: “Çujte, glavari Jakovljevi, voåe Izraelove kuøe! Nije li na vama da znate pravo. 2 Na vama mrziteljima dobra, a prijateljima zla? Vi ljudima derete koœu s tijela i meso s kostiju. 3 Jedete meso mojega naroda i derete koœu s njih, prebijate im kosti, sijeçete ih kao meso u loncu, kao meso za juhu u kotlu.” 4 Jedanput øe vikati Gospodinu! Ali ih neøe çuti i sakrit øe svoje lice od njih u ono vrijeme prema njihovim djelima æto su ih poçinili. 5 Ovako govori Gospodin o prorocima koji zavode moj narod, koji, kad imaju neæto za svoje zube da grizu, navjeæøuju mir, a protiv onoga koji im ne napunja usta, proglaæuju rat: 6 Zato øe vam biti noø, a da ne gledate viåenja i tame, da ne mognete niæta vraçati.

Now it shall come to pass in the latter days That the mountain of the LORD’s house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and peoples shall flow to it. 2 Many nations shall come and say, “Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; he will teach us his ways, and we shall walk in his paths.” For out of Zion the law shall go forth, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. 3 He shall judge between many peoples, and rebuke strong nations afar off; they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. 4 But everyone shall sit under his vine and under his fig tree, and no one shall make them afraid; for the mouth of the LORD of hosts has spoken. 5 For all people walk each in the name of his god, but we will walk in the name of the LORD our God forever and ever. 6 In that day, says the LORD, I will assemble the lame, I will gather the outcast and those whom I have afflicted; 7 I will make the lame a remnant, and the outcast a strong nation; so the LORD will reign over them in Mount Zion From now on, even forever. 8 And you, O tower of the flock, the stronghold of the daughter of Zion, to you shall it come, even the former dominion shall come, the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.” 9 Now why do you cry aloud? Is there no king in your midst? Has your counselor perished? For pangs have seized you like a woman in labor. 10 Be in pain, and labor to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in birth pangs. For now you shall go forth from the city, you shall dwell in the field, and you shall go even to Babylon. There you shall be delivered; there the LORD will redeem you from the hand of your enemies. 11 Now also many nations have gathered against you, who say, “Let her be defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion.” 12 But they do not know the thoughts of the LORD, nor do they understand his counsel; for he will gather them like sheaves to the threshing floor. 13 Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion; for I will make your horn iron, and I will make your hooves bronze; you shall beat in pieces many peoples; I will consecrate their gain to the LORD , and their substance to the LORD of the whole earth.”

Kraljevstvo Boœje kraljevstvo istine i mira

Na svræetku dana dogodit øe se da bude utvråena gora s domom Gospodinovim navrh gora, uzviæena nad visinama. Onda øe se k njoj stjecati narodi. 2 Mnogi øe narod iøi ondje i govoriti: “Doåite, poåimo na goru Gospodinovu, u kuøu Boga Jakovljeva! Neka nas on nauçi svojim putovima! Mi hoøemo hoditi njegovim stazama!” Jer nauk izlazi sa Siona i rijeç Gospodinova iz Jeruzalema. 3 On øe suditi meåu svim narodima, govorit øe pravdu meåu moønim narodima do u daljinu. Oni øe raskivati maçeve svoje u raonike, koplja svoja u kosijere i neøe viæe narod dizati maç protiv naroda, niti øe se viæe uçiti ratu. 4 Svaki øe stanovati pod svojom vinovom lozom i smokvom i nitko ga neøe straæiti, jer to su obeøala usta Gospodina vojska. 5 Jer svi narodi hode svaki u ime svojega boga, pa øemo i mi hoditi u Ime Gospodina, svojega Boga, zauvijek i dovijeka. 6 U ono vrijeme, govori Gospodin, skupit øu æto hramlje, æto je rastjerano, skupit øu, i ozdravit øu æto sam udario. 7 Æto hramlje, to øu uçiniti ostatkom, æto je bolesno, jakim narodom. Tako øe Gospodin biti kralj nad njima na Gori Sionu od sada i zauvijek. 8 Ti, o kulo za stado, ti straœarnico køeri sionske, k tebi øe prispjeti, k tebi øe doøi prijaænja vlast, kraljevstvo køeri jeruzalemske! 9 A sada, æto plaçeæ tako glasno? Nema li kralja u tebi! Je li mrtav tvoj savjetnik, pa su te obuzeli bolovi kao œenu kad raåa? 10 Savijaj se, jecaj, køeri sionska, kao œena kad raåa, jer sad moraæ van iz grada, na polju stanovati. Dolaziæ u Babilon, ali øeæ se ondje izbaviti. Ondje øe te Gospodin osloboditi iz ruke neprijatelja tvojih. 11 A sada se skupljaju protiv tebe mnogi narodi i govore: “Neka se oneçisti da se oko naæe napase na Sionu!” 12 Ali oni ne znaju misli Gospodinovih i ne razumiju odluke njegove, da ih unosi kao snoplje na gumno. 13 Ustani, vræi, køeri sionska, jer øu uçiniti rog tvoj œeljezom, papke øu tvoje uçiniti mjeåu. Satrt øeæ mnoge narode! Posvetit øu Gospodinu blago njihovo i bogatstvo njihovo Gospodinu cijeloga svijeta!

Kralj mira u novom Davidovu kraljevstvu

Now gather yourself in troops, O daughter of troops; he has laid siege against us; they will strike the judge of Israel with a rod on the cheek. 2 But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of you shall come forth to me the One to be ruler in Israel, whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting. 3 Therefore he shall give them up, until the time that she who is in labor has given birth; then the remnant of his brethren shall return to the sons of Israel. 4 And he shall stand and feed his flock in the strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God; and they shall abide, for now he shall be great to the ends of the earth; 5 And this One shall be peace. When the Assyrian comes into our land, and when he treads in our palaces, then we will raise against him seven shepherds and eight princely men. 6 They shall waste with the sword the land of Assyria, and the land of Nimrod at its entrances; thus he shall deliver us from the Assyrian, when he comes into our land and when he treads within our borders. 7 Then the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many peoples, like dew from the LORD, like showers on the grass, that tarry for no man nor wait for the sons of men. 8 And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles, in the midst of many peoples, like a lion among the beasts of the forest, like a young lion among flocks of sheep, who, if he passes through, both treads down and tears in pieces, and none can deliver. 9 Your hand shall be lifted against your adversaries, and all your enemies shall be cut off. 10 And it shall be in that day, says the LORD, that I will cut off your horses from your midst and destroy your chariots. 11 I will cut off the cities of your land and throw down all your strongholds. 12 I will cut off sorceries from your hand, and you shall have no soothsayers. 13 Your carved images I will also cut off, and your sacred pillars from your midst; you shall no more worship the work of your hands; 14 I will pluck your wooden images from your midst; thus I will destroy your cities. 15 And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury on the nations that have not heard.”

Tako øe nas on izbaviti od Asirije, ako doåe u naæu zemlju i stupi na naæe meåe. 7 Onda øe ostatak Jakovljev biti meåu mnogim narodima kao rosa od Gospodina, kao kiæa po zelenoj travi æto ne çeka çovjeka, niti se uzda u djecu çovjeçju. 8 Onda øe ostatak Jakovljev biti meåu neznaboæcima usred mnogih naroda kao lav meåu œivotinjama æumskim, kao laviø meåu stadima ovaca, koji gazi, kad prodre, rastrga; i nitko se ne moœe izbaviti! 9 Ruka øe tvoja pobijediti tvoje neprijatelje i svi øe se protivnici tvoji iskorijeniti. 10 U onaj øe se dan dogoditi, govori Gospodin, da øu potamaniti konje usred tebe i potrt øu bojna kola tvoja. 11 Zatrt øu tvråave u tvojoj zemlji i poruæit øu sva tvrda mjesta tvoja. 12 Iskorijenit øu çaranje iz tvoje ruke i neøeæ viæe imati gatalaca. 13 Uniætit øu u tebi rezbarene kipove tvoje i kamene stupove tvoje; neøeæ se viæe klanjati loæemu djelu svojih ruku. 14 Poruæit øu u tebe drvene kipove tvoje i uniætit øu gradove tvoje. 15 Izvræit øu osvetu u plamenoj ljutini na narodima koji nisu htjeli sluæati.

Hear now what the LORD says: “Arise, plead your case before the mountains, and let the hills hear your voice. 2 Hear, O you mountains, the LORD’s complaint, and you strong foundations of the earth; for the LORD has a complaint against his people, and he will contend with Israel. 3 O my people, what have I done to you? and how have I wearied you? Testify against me. 4 For I brought you up from the land of Egypt, I redeemed you from the house of bondage; and I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam. 5 O my people, remember now what Balak king of Moab counseled, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him, from Shittim to Gilgal, that you may know the righteousness of the LORD.” 6 With what shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before the High God? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old? 7 Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams or ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for

Woe is me! For I am like those who gather summer fruits, like those who glean vintage grapes; there is no cluster to eat of the first-ripe fruit which my soul desires. 2 The faithful man has perished from the earth, and there is no one upright among men. They all lie in wait for blood; every man hunts his brother with a net. 3 That they may successfully do evil with both hands–the prince asks for gifts, the judge seeks a bribe, and the great man utters his evil desire; so they scheme together. 4 The best of them is like a brier; the most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge; the day of your watchman and your punishment comes; now shall be their perplexity. 5 Do not trust in a friend; do not put your confidence in a companion; guard the doors of your mouth from her who lies in your bosom. 6 For son dishonors father, daughter rises against her mother, daughter-in-law against her mother-inlaw; a man’s enemies are the men of his own house. 7 Therefore I will look to the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me. 8 Do not rejoice over me, my enemy; when I fall, I will arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD will be a light to me. 9 I will bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have sinned against him, until he pleads my case and executes justice for me; he will bring me forth to the light, and I will see his righteousness. 10 Then she who is my enemy will see, and shame will cover her who said to me, “Where is the LORD your God?” My eyes will see her; now she will be trampled down like mire in the streets. 11 In the day when your walls are to be built, in that day the decree shall go far and wide. 12 In that day they shall come to you from Assyria and the fortified cities, from the fortress to the River, from sea to sea, and mountain to mountain. 13 Yet the land shall be desolate because of those who dwell in it, and for the fruit of their deeds.

Grijeh, pokajanje i spasenje

Svi oni vrebaju krv i jedan drugomu postavljaju mreœu. 3 Ruke su im pruœene na zlo, da ga çine revno: glavar zahtijeva, sudac radi samo za plaøu, a velikaæ odluçuje po svojoj poœudi, i onda izvrøu to meåu sobom. 4 Najbolji je izmeåu njih kao trn, najpravedniji je oætriji od trnjaka.

The burden against Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite. 2 God is jealous, and the LORD avenges; the LORD avenges and is furious. the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserves wrath for his enemies; 3 the LORD is slow to anger and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked. the LORD has his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet. 4 He rebukes the sea and makes it dry, and dries up all the rivers. Bashan and Carmel wither, and the flower of Lebanon wilts. 5 The mountains quake before him, the hills melt, and the earth heaves at his presence, yes, the world and all who dwell in it. 6 Who can stand before his indignation? and who can endure the fierceness of his anger? His fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him. 7 The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knows those who trust in him. 8 But with an overflowing flood he will make an utter end of its place, and darkness will pursue his enemies. 9 What do you conspire against the LORD? He will make an utter end of it. Affliction will not rise up a second time. 10 For while tangled like thorns, and while drunken like drunkards, They shall be devoured like stubble fully dried. 11 From you comes forth one who plots evil against the LORD, a wicked counselor. 12 Thus says the LORD: “Though they are safe, and likewise many, yet in this manner they will be cut down when he passes through. Though I have afflicted you, I will afflict you no more; 13 for now I will break off his yoke from you, and burst your bonds apart.” 14 The LORD has given a command concerning you: “Your name shall be perpetuated no longer. Out of the house of your gods I will cut off the carved image and the molded image. I will dig your grave, for you

Boœanski sudac Ninive i Jude

Rijeç protiv Ninive. Knjiga proroçanstva Nahuma iz Elkoæa. 2 Bog je ljubomoran, i Gospodin osvetnik, Gospodin se osveøuje pun jarosti; Gospodin øe se osvetiti svojim protivnicima i çuva gnjev za svoje neprijatelje. 3 Gospodin je spor na gnjev i velik je silom svojom, ali ne puæta uistinu niæta nekaœnjeno. Put Gospodinov ide kroz buru i vihor, a oblaci su prah njegovim nogama. 4 On zaprijeti moru i isuæi ga, i uçini da presuæe sve rijeke. Venu Baæan i Karmel, i lebanonski cvijet vene. 5 Pred njim se potresaju gore, breœuljci se rastapaju i zemlja se pred njim ugiblje, jest, sav svijet i svi stanovnici njegovi. 6 Tko se odrœi pred jaroæøu njegovom? Tko odoli œestini gnjeva njegova? Jarost se njegova izlijeva kao oganj i hridine se raspadaju pred njim. 7 Dobar je Gospodin, zaætita u dan tjeskobe. Poznaje one, koji se skrivaju kod njega. 8 Ali poplavom æto doæumi, uniætava mjesto njezino i goni svoje neprijatelje u mrak. 9 Æto smiæljate protiv Gospodina? On dovodi kraj, dvaput se ne podiœe tjeskoba. 10 Jer kao trnje spleteni, pijani od vesele pijanke, budu sasvim proœderani kao suha pljeva. 11 Iz tebe je, Ninivo, iziæao koji je smiæljao zlo protiv Gospodina, koji je snovao opaçine. 12 Ovako govori Gospodin: “Neka su jaki i mnogobrojni, ipak øe biti pokoæeni i proøi øe! Ako sam te i ponizio, Juda, neøu to viæe çiniti. 13 Sada trgam jaram æto je na tebi i lomim okove tvoje.” 14 Ali je za tebe Gospodin zapovjedio: “Neka se nikada ne spomene ime tvoje!

He who scatters has come up before your face. Man the fort! Watch the road! Strengthen your flanks! Fortify your power mightily. 2 For the LORD will restore the excellence of Jacob like the excellence of Israel, for the emptiers have emptied them out and ruined their vine branches. 3 The shields of his mighty men are made red, the valiant men are in scarlet. The chariots come with flaming torches in the day of his preparation, and the spears are brandished. 4 The chariots rage in the streets, they jostle one another in the broad roads; they seem like torches, they run like lightning. 5 He remembers his worthies; they stumble in their walk; they make haste to her walls, and the defense is prepared. 6 The gates of the rivers are opened, and the palace is dissolved. 7 It is decreed: she shall be led away captive, she shall be brought up; and her maidservants shall lead her as with the voice of doves, beating their breasts. 8 Though Nineveh of old was like a pool of water, now they flee away. “Halt! Halt!” they cry; but no one turns back. 9 Take spoil of silver! Take spoil of gold! There is no end of treasure, Or wealth of every desirable prize. 10 She is empty, desolate, and waste! The heart melts, and the knees shake; much pain is in every side, and all their faces are drained of color. 11 Where is the dwelling of the lions, and the feeding place of the young lions, where the lion walked, the lioness and lion’s cub, and no one made them afraid? 12 The lion tore in pieces enough for his cubs, killed for his lionesses, filled his caves with prey, and his dens with flesh. 13 “Behold, I am against you,” says the LORD of hosts, “I will burn your chariots in smoke, and the sword shall devour your young lions; I will cut off your prey from the earth, and the voice of your messengers shall be heard no more.”

Woe to the bloody city! It is all full of lies and robbery. Its victim never departs. 2 The noise of a whip and the noise of rattling wheels, of galloping horses, of clattering chariots! 3 Horsemen charge with bright sword and glittering spear. There is a multitude of slain, a great number of bodies, countless corpses–they stumble over the corpses– 4 because of the multitude of harlotries of the seductive harlot, the mistress of sorceries, who sells nations through her harlotries, and families through her sorceries. 5 “Behold, I am against you,” says the LORD of hosts; “I will lift your skirts over your face, I will show the nations your nakedness, and the kingdoms your shame. 6 I will cast abominable filth upon you, make you vile, and make you a spectacle. 7 It shall come to pass that all who look upon you Will flee from you, and say, ‘Nineveh is laid waste! Who will bemoan her?’ Where shall I seek comforters for you?” 8 Are you better than No Amon that was situated by the River, that had the waters around her, whose

Uniætenje grada Ninive

Uzlazi protiv tebe, Ninivo, zatiraç: çuvaj nasip, pazi na put, opaæi bedra, skupi svu snagu svoju! 2 Jer Gospodin uspostavlja opet slavu Jakovljevu kao slavu Izraelovu, jer su ih razbojnici opustoæili i loze im potrli. 3 Ætitovi junaka njegovih crvene se, ratnici su njegovi u grimizu. Oganj prosipaju bojna kola koja jure u dan njegov; blistaju se uzdignuta koplja. 4 Po ulicama bjesne bojna kola, jure preko trgova; izgledaju kao zublje, odlete kao munje. 5 Sjeøa se svojih junaka: oni posrøu u trku; hrle k zidovima i veø postavljaju bojni pokrov. 6 Na rijekama se otvaraju vrata i tu oçajava dvor. 7 Odvodi se u ropstvo kraljica, odvlaçe se sluækinje njezine, one tuguju kao golubice i biju se u prsa. 8 Niniva je kao jezero vodeno od dana svojega postanja, ali oni bjeœe. “Stojte! Stojte!” Ali se nitko ne obazire. 9 Grabite srebro! Grabite zlato! Blagu nema kraja, mnoætvo svakojakih dragocjenih stvari. 10 Pustoæ, pohara, rasap, klonula srca, drhtava koljena, drhat u svim bedrima, crven od stida na svim licima. 11 Gdje je log lavovima, brlog laviøima, kamo je iæao lav, lavica i laviø, nije ih straæio nitko? 12 Lav je lovio za mlade svoje, davio je za lavice svoje. Punio je æpilje svoje lovom i brloge svoje plijenom. 13 “Gle, ja sam protiv tebe,” govori Gospodin vojska, “uçinit øu da kola tvoja izaåu u dim i tvoje øe laviøe proœdrijeti maç.

Habakkuk

The burden which the prophet Habakkuk saw. 2 O LORD, how long shall I cry, and you will not hear? even cry out to you, “Violence!” And you will not save. 3 Why do you show me iniquity, and cause me to see trouble? For plundering and violence are before me; there is strife, and contention arises. 4 Therefore the law is powerless, and justice never goes forth. For the wicked surround the righteous; therefore perverse judgment proceeds. 5 Look among the nations and watch–be utterly astounded! For I will work a work in your days which you would not believe, though it were told you. 6 For indeed I am raising up the Chaldeans, a bitter and hasty nation which marches through the breadth of the earth, to possess dwelling places that are not theirs. 7 They are terrible and dreadful; Their judgment and their dignity proceed from themselves. 8 Their horses also are swifter than leopards, and more fierce than evening wolves. Their chargers charge ahead; their cavalry comes from afar; they fly as the eagle that hastens to eat. 9 They all come for violence; their faces are set like the east wind. They gather captives like sand. 10 They scoff at kings, and princes are scorned by them. They deride every stronghold, for they heap up mounds of earth and seize it.

Prorokova tuœba na bezboœnike

Presuda koju je prorok Habakuk primio u viåenju. 2 Dokle øu veø, o Gospodine, vapiti za spasenjem, a ti ne çujeæ. Ja ti viçem: “Nasilje,” a ti ne pomaœeæ. 3 Zaæto puætaæ da gledam zlo i zaæto gledaæ tlaçenje? Pljaçka i nasilje imam pred oçima, svaåa plane, nesloga nastane. 4 Zato dolazi zakon izvan snage, pravda ne izlazi nikada na dan, jer bezboœnik hvata u mreœu pravednika, zato sud izlazi naopako. 5 Gledajte na narode! Pogledajte, çudite se, jest, çudite se, jer jedan çini djelo u vaæe dane. Nikada ne biste vjerovali kad bi vam se pripovijedalo. 6 Jer, evo, ja øu podignuti Kaldejce, narod ljuti, okretan, koji prolazi æirom zemlje da osvoji naselja æto nisu njegova. 7 Straæan je i strahovit; on poznaje samo svoje pravo i svoj zakon. 8 Brœi su mu konji od risova, œeæøi od vukova uveçer. Konjanici njegovi doletjet øe, konjanici njegovi dolaze izdaleka. Doletjet øe kao orao kad hrli na lovinu. 9 Svi idu za nasiljem. Lice im je kao vjetar istoçnjak.

11 Then his mind changes, and he transgresses; he commits offense, imputing this power to his god.” 12 Are you not from everlasting, O LORD my God, my Holy One? We shall not die. O LORD, you have appointed them for judgment; O Rock, you have marked them for correction. 13 You are of purer eyes than to behold evil, and cannot look on wickedness. Why do you look on those who deal treacherously, and hold your tongue when the wicked devours one more rightous than he? 14 Why do you make men like fish of the sea, like creeping things that have no ruler over them? 15 They take up all of them with a hook, they catch them in their net, and gather them in their dragnet. Therefore they rejoice and are glad. 16 Therefore they sacrifice to their net, and burn incense to their dragnet; because by them their share is sumptuous and their food plenteous. 17 Shall they therefore empty their net, and continue to slay nations without pity?

I will stand my watch and set myself on the rampart, and watch to see what he will say to me, and what I will answer when I am reproved. 2 Then the LORD answered me and said: “Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it. 3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. 4 Behold the proud, his soul is not upright in him; but the just shall live by his faith. 5 Indeed, because he transgresses by wine, he is a proud man, and he does not stay at home. Because he enlarges his desire as hell, and he is like death, and cannot be satisfied, he gathers to himself all nations and heaps up for himself all peoples. 6 Shall not all these take up a proverb against him, and a taunting riddle against him, and say, ‘Woe to him who increases what is not his–how long? And to him who loads himself with many pledges’? 7 Will not your creditors rise up suddenly? Will they not awaken who oppress you? And you will become their booty. 8 Because you have plundered many nations, all the remnant of the people shall plunder you, because of men’s blood and the violence of the land and the city, and of all who dwell in it. 9 Woe to him who covets evil gain for his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of disaster! 10 You gave shameful counsel to your house, cutting off many peoples, and sinned against your soul. 11 For the stone will cry out from the wall, and the beam from the timbers will answer it. 12 Woe to him who builds a town with bloodshed, who establishes a city by iniquity! 13 Behold, is it not of the LORD of hosts that the peoples labor to feed the fire, and nations weary themselves in vain? 14 For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. 15 Woe to him who gives drink to his neighbor, pressing him to your bottle, even to make him drunk, that you may look on his nakedness! 16 You are filled with shame instead of glory. You also–drink! and be exposed as uncircumcised! The cup of the LORD’s right hand will be turned against you, and utter shame will be on your glory. 17 For the violence done to Lebanon will cover you, and the plunder of beasts which made them afraid,

Spasenje Izraela i propast Kaldejaca

Stupit øu na straœu svoju, postavit øu se na kulu da motrim i vidim æto mi on govori, æto odgovara na tuœbu moju. 2 Onda mi Gospodin dao ovo za odgovor: “Napiæi viåenje i iznesi ga çisto na ploçe da se moœe lako çitati! 3 Jer viåenje izostaje joæ do odreåenog vremena, ali navaljuje prema kraju i ne vara. Ako i odugovlaçi, ipak ga çekaj, jer ono dolazi posve sigurno; neøe izostati! 4 Gle, nadut, nije iskrena njegova duæa u njemu, pravednik ipak ostaje na œivotu svojom vjerom. 5 Zaista, pijanca zaludi vino; tako je s çovjekom oholim, on ne ostaje kod kuøe. Æiroko kao podzemni svijet otvara on svoje çeljusti i kao smrt ne moœe se zasititi. Grabi sebi sve narode, skuplja oko sebe sva plemena. 6 Ali neøe li mu svi oni zapjevati rugalicu, podrugljivu pjesmu, zagonetan govor i reøi: ‘Teæko onomu koji zgrøe æto nije njegovo! Dokle øe joæ? Koji trpa na sebe zaplijenjeno dobro!’ 7 Neøe li najedanput vjerovnici tvoji ustati, muçitelji se tvoji probuditi? Onda øeæ postati njima plijen. 8 Mnoge si narode oplijenio: Tako øe tebe oplijeniti ostatak svih naroda za krv na ljudima i za zloçine na zemlji, na gradu i na svim stanovnicima njegovim. 9 Teæko onomu koji çini zao dobitak za svoju kuøu, da gradi gnijezdo svoje u visini, da se spasi od napadaja nesreøe! 10 Nakana je tvoja donijela sramotu tvojoj kuøi.

A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, on Shigionoth. 2 O LORD, I have heard your speech and was afraid; O LORD, revive your work in the midst of the years! In the midst of the years make it known; in wrath remember mercy. 3 God came from Teman, the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah his glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise. 4 His brightness was like the light; he had rays flashing from his hand, and there his power was hidden. 5 Before him went pestilence, and fever followed at his feet. 6 He stood and measured the earth; he looked and startled the nations. And the everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills bowed. His ways are everlasting. 7 I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction; the curtains of the land of Midian trembled. 8 O LORD, were you displeased with the rivers, was your anger against the rivers, was your wrath against the sea, that you rode on your horses, your chariots of salvation? 9 Your bow was made quite ready; oaths were sworn over your arrows. Selah you divided the earth with rivers. 10 The mountains saw you and trembled; the overflowing of the water passed by. The deep uttered its voice, and lifted its hands on high. 11 The sun and moon stood still in their habitation; at the light of your arrows they went, at the shining of your glittering spear. 12 You marched through the land in indignation; you trampled the nations in anger. 13 You went forth for the salvation of your people, for salvation with Your Anointed. You struck the head from the house of the wicked, by laying bare from foundation to neck. Selah 14 You thrust through with his own arrows the head of his villages. They came out like a whirlwind to scatter me; their rejoicing was like feasting on the poor in secret. 15 You walked through the sea with your horses, through the heap of great waters. 16 When I heard, my body trembled; my lips quivered at the voice; rottenness entered my bones; and I trembled in myself, that I might rest in the day of trouble. When he comes up to the people, he will invade them with his troops. 17 Though the fig tree may not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines; though the labor of the olive may fail, and the fields yield no food; though the flock be cut off from the fold, and there be no herd in the stalls– 18 Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation. 19 The LORD God is my strength; he will make my feet like deer’s feet, and he will make me walk on my high hills. To the Chief Musician. With my stringed instruments.

Gospodin dolazi suditi vladaru svijeta

Molitva proroka Habakuka, po naçinu Æigionot. 2 O Gospodine, çuo sam govor tvoj i strah me uhvatio. O Gospodine, oœivi djelo svoje usred godina! Objavi ga usred godina, a ipak se u gnjevu sjeti milosråa! 3 Bog dolazi od Temana, Svetac s gore Parana. Veliçanstvo njegovo pokriva nebesa i zemlja je puna hvale njegove. 4 Sjaj je njegov kao svjetlost sunca: zrake su mu po strani, tu se krije moø njegova. 5 Pred njim ide kuga, korake njegove slijedi pomor. 6 Kad se pojavi, izmjeri zemlju, kad pogleda, uçini da zadræøu narodi, vjeçne gore rasprsnu, pradavni bregovi prignu se. To su od vjeçnosti njegovi putovi. 7 Æatore Kuæana vidim u nevolji; æatorske zavjese Midjana dræøu. 8 Je li protiv rijeka planuo Gospodin, je li pada na vode tvoja srdœba? Ide li protiv mora tvoja jarost kada jezdiæ na konjima svojim, na pobjedniçkim kolima svojim? 9 Podiœeæ lßk svoj, zakletve, æibe svoje rijeçi. Razdireæ zemlju, da provale rijeke. 10 Vide te gore i tresu se; poplava navaljuje. Bezdan puæta da zatutnji tutanj njezin, gore podiœe svoje ruke. 11 U æatoru svomu ostaju sunce i mjesec kod iskrenja strijela tvojih, kod sijevanja tvojih blistavih koplja. 12 Koraçaæ u gnjevu po zemlji, u jarosti gaziæ narode. 13 Izlaziæ za spasenje svojem narodu, za spasenje sa svojim Pomazanikom. Razbijaæ vrh kuøi bezboœnikovoj, otkrivaæ temelj do dna. 14 Njihovim kopljima probijaæ glavu njegovih ratnika, koji navaljuju da me smrskaju, koji podiœu radosnu viku, kao da bi htjeli proœdrijeti siromaha u potaji. 15 Svojim konjima gaziæ more, hrpu mnogih voda. 16 Çuo sam to; onda je uzdrhtalo moje tijelo. Na taj glas zadrhtale su moje usne. Trule su postale moje kosti, koljena su moja klecala, kao da bih çekao dan tjeskobe kad uzaåe narod æto nas napada. 17 Jer smokva ne donosi viæe ploda, ni roda na lozi vinovoj. Ljetina je masline loæa i njive ne daju hrane. Ovaca nema u torovima i goveda nema u ætalama. 18 Ali øu se ja radovati u Gospodinu, veselit øu se u Bogu spasenja svojega 19 Gospodin Bog je meni snaga.

Zephaniah

1

The word of the LORD which came to Zephaniah the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hezekiah, in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah. 2 “I will utterly consume all things from the face of the land,” says the LORD; 3 “I will consume man and beast; I will consume the birds of the heavens, the fish of the sea, and the stumbling blocks along with the wicked. I will cut off man from the face of the land,” says the LORD. 4 “I will stretch out my hand against Judah, and against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem. I will cut off every trace of Baal from this place, the names of the idolatrous priests with the pagan priests– 5 those who worship the host of heaven on the housetops; those who worship and swear oaths by the LORD, but who also swear by Milcom; 6 those who have turned back from following the LORD, and have not sought the LORD, nor inquired of him.” 7 Be silent in the presence of the LORD God; for the day of the LORD is at hand, for the LORD has prepared a sacrifice; he has invited his guests. 8 “And it shall be, in the day of the LORD’s sacrifice, that I will punish the princes and the king’s children, and all such as are clothed with foreign apparel. 9 In the same day I will punish all those who leap over the threshold, who fill their masters’ houses with violence and deceit. 10 And there shall be on that day, says the LORD, The sound of a mournful cry from the Fish Gate, a wailing from the Second Quarter, and a loud crashing from the hills. 11 Wail, you inhabitants of Maktesh! for all the merchant people are cut down; all those who handle money are cut off. 12 And it shall come to pass at that time that I will search Jerusalem with lamps, and punish the men who are settled in complacency, who say in their heart, ‘The LORD will not do good, nor will he do evil.’ 13 Therefore their goods shall become booty, and their houses a desolation; They shall build houses, but not inhabit them; they shall plant vineyards, but not drink their wine.” 14 The great day of the LORD is near; it is near and hastens quickly. The noise of the day of the LORD is bitter; there the mighty men shall cry out. 15 That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of devastation and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, 16 a day of trumpet and alarm against the fortified cities and against the high towers. 17 I will bring distress upon men, and they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD; their blood shall be poured out like dust, and their flesh like refuse.” 18 Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD’s wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy, for he will make speedy riddance of all those who dwell in the land.

Iskorijenit øu iz mjesta ovoga ostatak Baalov i ime idolskih sluœbenika zajedno sa sveøenicima. 5 S onima koji se na krovovima klanjaju vojsci nebeskoj, i one koji se klanjaju Gospodinu i zaklinju se njim, ali se ujedno zaklinju Milkomom. 6 I one, koji su otpali od Gospodina i ne traœe Gospodina i ne mare za njega.” 7 Tiho pred Gospodinom Bogom! Jer je blizu dan Gospodinov, jer je Gospodin pripremio œrtvu, posvetio goste svoje. 8 “U dan œrtve Gospodinove dogodit øe se da øu pohoditi glavare i sinove kraljeve i sve, koji nose tuåu odjeøu. 9 Pohodit øu u onaj dan sve koji skaçu preko praga, koji pune kuøu svojega gospodara nasiljem i prijevarom. 10 U onaj øe dan,” govori Gospodin, “odjeknuti vika od Ribljih vrata, jauk iz novoga grada i silno jadikovanje s breœuljaka. 11 Jauçite samo, stanovnici Makteæa, jer øe se sav narod trgovaçki uniætiti; svi øe se mjeritelji novaca iskorijeniti. 12 U ono øe se vrijeme dogoditi da øu ja pretraœiti Jeruzalem sa svjetiljkama i pohoditi ljude koji bezbriœno sjede na droœdini svojoj, koji misle: ‘Gospodin ne çini ni dobro ni zlo.’ 13 Razgrabit øe se posjed njihov, opustoæit øe se kuøe njihove. Grade kuøe, ali neøe stanovati u njima; sade vinograde, ali neøe piti vina iz njih.” 14 Blizu je dan Gospodinov, veliki, blizu je i hiti veoma. Çuj, dan Gospodinov, gorki; onda øe vikati junaci. 15 Dan taj je dan jarosti, dan tjeskobe i nevolje, dan pustoæenja i zatiranja, dan tame i tmurnosti, dan oblaka i mraka, 16 dan trubljenja i ratne vike na tvrde gradove i na visoka kruniæta. 17 Onda øu ljude prepasti te øe vrludati kao slijepci, jer su sagrijeæili protiv Gospodina. Krv øe se njihova prosuti kao prah, tjelesa njihova kao gnoj.” 18 Ni srebro njihovo, ni zlato njihovo neøe ih moøi spasiti u dan jarosti Gospodinove. U ognju ljubomore njegove sva øe se zemlja proœdrijeti. Jer uniætenje i prijeku propast spremit øe on svima stanovnicima zemaljskim.

Suci su njegovi vuci uveçer, koji do jutra ne o stavljaju niæta. 4 Proroci su njegovi nepouzdani, varalice. Sveøenici njegovi oskvrnjuju svetiæte, povreåuju zakon. 5 Pravedan je u sredini njegovoj Gospodin, ne çini nepravde. Svako jutro izvræuje sud svoj. Ne izostaje kao bijeli dan; ali bezboœnik ne zna za stid. 6 “Iskorijenio sam narode, tvråave su njihove opustoæene. Ulice sam njihove poharao, te nitko viæe ne ide po njima.

In the second year of King Darius, in the sixth month, on the first day of the month, the word of the LORD came by Haggai the prophet to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, saying, 2 “Thus speaks the LORD of hosts, saying: ‘This people says, The time has not come, the time that the LORD’s house should be built.’ ” 3 Then the word of the LORD came by Haggai the prophet, saying, 4 “Is it time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, and this temple to lie in ruins?” 5 Now therefore, thus says the LORD of hosts: “Con-

In the eighth month of the second year of Darius, the word of the LORD came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying, 2 “The LORD has been very angry with your fathers. 3 Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the LORD of hosts: Return to me, says the LORD of hosts, ‘and I will return to you,’ says the LORD of hosts. 4 ‘Do not be like your fathers, to whom the former prophets preached, saying, Thus says the LORD of hosts: Turn now from your evil ways and your evil deeds. But they did not hear nor heed me,’ says the LORD. 5 ‘Your fathers, where are they? And the prophets, do they live forever? 6 Yet surely my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not overtake your fathers? So they returned and said: Just as the LORD of hosts determined to do to us, according to our ways and according to our deeds, so he has dealt with us.’ ”

Osmoga mjeseca, u drugoj godini Darija, doæla je rijeç Gospodinova proroku Zahariji, sinu Berekije, sina Idova, govoreøi: 2 “Gospodin se bio œestoko razgnjevio na vaæe oçeve. 3 Sada im kaœi: ‘Ovako govori Gospodin vojska: Vratite se k meni’, govori Gospodin vojska–‘i ja øu se opet vratiti k vama’, govori Gospodin vojska! 4 Ne budite kao vaæi oçevi kojima su vikali prijaænji proroci: ‘Ovako govori Gospodin vojska: Vratite se sa svojih zlih putova i od zlih svojih djela! Ali nisu posluæali i nisu pazili na me’, govori Gospodin. 5 ‘Vaæi oçevi, gdje su oni sada? I proroci, œive li zauvijek? 6 Ali moje rijeçi i odluke æto sam ih zapovjedio svojim slugama, prorocima, nisu li dostigle vaæe oçeve, tako da su se oni obratili i rekli: Kako je bio Gospodin vojska odluçio postupati

Stajao je meåu mirtama u white. 9 Then I said, “My LORD, what are these?” So the dolini, a za njim su bili konji riåani, crni, æareni i angel who talked with me said to me, “I will show you bijeli. 9 Upitao sam: “Tko su ovi, moj gospodaru?” what they are.” 10 And the man who stood among the myrtle trees Anåeo, koji je govorio sa mnom, odgovorio mi: answered and said, “These are the ones whom the “Pokazat øu ti tko su oni.” LORD has sent to walk to and fro throughout the earth.” 10 Onda je odgovorio çovjek, koji je stajao 11 So they answered the Angel of the LORD, who meåu mirtama, govoreøi: “To su oni koje je postood among the myrtle trees, and said, “We have slao Gospodin, da obiåu zemlju.” walked to and fro throughout the earth, and behold, 11 A ovi odgovore anåelu Gospodinovu koji je stajao meåu mirtama: “Obiæli smo zemlju, i gle, all the earth is resting quietly.” 12 Then the Angel of the LORD answered and said, sva je zemlja mirna i tiha.” “O LORD of hosts, how long will you not have mercy 12 Odgovorio je Anåeo Gospodinov, govoreøi: on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against “Gospodine vojska, kad øeæ se napokon smilovati Jeruzalemu i Judinim gradovima, na koje which you were angry these seventy years?” 13 And the LORD answered the angel who talked to se gnjeviæ veø sedamdeset godina?” 13 I Gospodin je odgovorio anåelu koji je govome, with good and comforting words. 14 So the angel who spoke with me said to me, “Pro- rio sa mnom, prijaznim, utjeænim rijeçima. claim, saying, ‘Thus says the LORD of hosts: I am 14 Onda mi je rekao anåeo, koji je govorio sa zealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with great zeal. mnom: “Objavi ovo: ‘Ovako govori Gospodin 15 I am exceedingly angry with the nations at ease; vojska: Gorim od revnosti za Jeruzalem, od for I was a little angry, and they helped–but with evil velike revnosti za Sion. 15 A gnjevim se gnjevom œestokim na narode intent. 16 Therefore thus says the LORD: I am returning to ohole koji su, kada sam se malo gnjevio, joæ poJerusalem with mercy; my house shall be built in it, mogli nesreøu. says the LORD of hosts, “and a surveyor’s line shall 16 Zato ovako govori Gospodin: Pun milosråa obraøam se Jeruzalemu: dom øe se moj u njebe stretched out over Jerusalem.” ‘ 17 Again proclaim, saying, ‘Thus says the LORD of mu opet sazidati, govori Gospodin vojska i hosts: “My cities shall again spread out through pros- mjeraçko uœe zategnut øe se preko Jeruzalperity; the LORD will again comfort Zion, and will again ema! 17 Nadalje objavi: Ovako govori Gospodin vojchoose Jerusalem.” ’ ” 18 Then I raised my eyes and looked, and there were ska: Na moje øe se gradove opet izliti blagoslovi.

Then I raised my eyes and looked, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand. 2 So I said, “Where are you going?” And he said to me, “To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its width and what is its length.” 3 And there was the angel who talked with me, going out; and another angel was coming out to meet him, 4 who said to him, “Run, speak to this young man, saying: ‘Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls, because of the multitude of men and livestock in it. 5 For I,’ says the LORD, ‘will be a wall of fire all around her, and I will be the glory in her midst.’ 6 ‘Up, up! Flee from the land of the north, says the LORD; for I have spread you abroad like the four winds of heaven,’ says the LORD.

Treøe viåenje: çovjek s mjeraçkim uœetom

Opet sam podigao svoje oçi i gledao. Gle, bio je tu çovjek u çijoj je ruci bilo mjeraçko uœe. 2 Upitao sam: “Kamo ideæ?” Odgovorio mi: “Hoøu da izmjerim Jeruzalem i da vidim, kolika mu je æirina i kolika mu je duœina.” 3 I gle, anåeo, koji je govorio sa mnom, izaæao je, i drugi anåeo doæao mu u susret. 4 Ovaj mu rekao: “Idi brzo i kaœi ondje mladomu çovjeku: ‘Jeruzalem øe se naseliti kao otvoren grad zbog mnoætva ljudi i stoke u njemu. 5 Ja øu mu sam,’ govori Gospodin, ‘biti zid ognjen unaokolo i u njemu øu pokazati svoju slavu.’ 6 ‘Ustanite, ustanite!

Escape, you who dwell with the daughter vjetra nebeska’, govori Gospodin. 7 ‘Ustani, Sione, koji sjediæ kod køeri babilonof Babylon.’ ” 8 For thus says the LORD of hosts: “He sent me after ske, spasi se!’ ’ glory, to the nations which plunder you; for he who 8 Jer ovako govori Gospodin vojska: “Za slavom poslao me je k neznaboœaçkim narodima, touches you touches the apple of his eye. 9 For surely I will shake my hand against them, and koji su vas oplijenili.

Then you will know that the LORD 11 “I mnogi øe narodi u onaj dan pristati uz Gospodina i pripadat øe mojem narodu, i ja øu of hosts has sent me to you. 12 And the LORD will take possession of Judah as his stanovati u tvojoj sredini.

Then he showed me Joshua the high priest ‘ standing before the Angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to oppose him. 2 And the LORD said to Satan, “The LORD rebuke you, Satan! The LORD who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is this not a brand plucked from the fire?” 3 Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and was standing before the Angel. 4 Then he answered and spoke to those who stood before him, saying, “Take away the filthy garments from him.” And to him he said, “See, I have removed your iniquity from you, and I will clothe you with rich robes.” 5 And I said, “Let them put a clean turban on his head.” So they put a clean turban on his head, and they put the clothes on him. And the Angel of the LORD stood by. 6 Then the Angel of the LORD admonished Joshua, saying, 7 “Thus says the LORD of hosts: ‘If you will walk in my ways, and if you will keep my command, then you shall also judge my house, and likewise have charge of my courts; I will give you places to walk among these who stand here. 8 Hear, O Joshua, the high priest, you and your companions who sit before you, for they are a wondrous sign; for behold, I am bringing forth my Servant the BRANCH. 9 For behold, the stone that I have laid before Joshua: upon the stone are seven eyes. Behold, I will engrave its inscription,’ says the LORD of hosts, ‘And I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day. 10 In that day,’ says the LORD of hosts, ‘Everyone will invite his neighbor under his vine and under his fig tree.’ ”

Now the angel who talked with me came back and wakened me, as a man who is wakened out of his sleep. 2 And he said to me, “What do you see?” So I said, “I am looking, and there is a lampstand of solid gold with a bowl on top of it, and on the stand seven lamps with seven pipes to the seven lamps. 3 Two olive trees are by it, one at the right of the bowl and the other at its left.” 4 So I answered and spoke to the angel who talked with me, saying, “What are these, my LORD?” 5 Then the angel who talked with me answered and said to me, “Do you not know what these are?” And

Çetvrto viåenje: veliki sveøenik Joshua

Onda mi je dao da vidim velikoga sveøenika Joæuu kako stoji pred anåelom Gospodinovim, dok je s njegove desne stajao Sotona da ga optuœi. 2 Gospodin je rekao Sotoni: “Gospodin neka ti zapovjedi æutnju, Sotono! Gospodin, koji je izabrao Jeruzalem, neka ti zapovjedi æutnju! Nije li on glavnja istrgnuta iz ognja?” 3 A Joæua je bio odjeven u haljine prljave kad je stajao pred anåelom. 4 Ovaj progovori onima æto su stajali pred njim: “Skinite s njega te prljave haljine!” A njemu je rekao: “Evo, oduzimam s tebe tvoju krivnju i odijevam te u sveçane haljine!” 5 Onda je zapovjedio. “Stavite mu i çistu kapu na glavu!” Onda mu stavili çistu kapu na glavu i odjenuli mu haljine, a anåeo je tu stajao. 6 I anåeo Gospodinov dao Joæui ovo obeøanje: 7 “Ovako govori Gospodin vojska: Ako uzaåeæ mojim putovima i uzdrœiæ zapovijedi moje, onda øeæ upravljati domom mojim i çuvati trijemove moje, i dat øu ti slobodan pristup k ovima æto stoje ovdje. 8 Çuj, o Joæua, veliki sveøeniçe, ti i tvoji sudruzi æto sjede pred tobom, ti su ljudi koji imaju znamenje, jer evo, ja øu uçiniti da doåe moj sluga, ‘Mladica’. 9 Jer, gle, na kamen, koji sam stavio pred Joæuu–na taj jedan kamen upravljeno je sedam oçiju–na njega øu ja urezati crteœ’, govori Gospodin vojska–‘i uklonit øu krivnju one zemlje u jedan dan. 10 U onaj dan’, govori Gospodin vojska, ‘pozivat øete jedan drugoga pod vinovu lozu i pod smokvu.’ ” Peto viåenje: zlatna svjetiljka

Onda anåeo koji je govorio sa mnom probudi me opet kao çovjeka koji se budi od sna. 2 Upitao me: “Æto vidiæ?” Ja sam odgovorio: “Vidim svjetiljku na stalku, svu od zlata, i gore na njoj uljanicu, sa sedam cijevi na stalku i na njima sedam œiœaka. 3 Dvije masline stoje uz njega, jedna s desne strane svjetiljke, a druga s lijeve.” 4 Upitao sam anåela koji je govorio sa mnom: “Æto je to, moj gospodaru?” 5 Anåeo koji je govorio sa mnom odgovorio mi, govoreøi: “Zar ne znaæ æto je to?” Ja sam odgo-

Then I turned and raised my eyes, and saw there a flying scroll. 2 And he said to me, “What do you see?” So I answered, “I see a flying scroll. Its length is twenty cubits and its width ten cubits.” 3 Then he said to me, “This is the curse that goes out over the face of the whole earth: ‘Every thief shall be expelled,’ according to what is on this side of the scroll; and, ‘Every perjurer shall be expelled,’ according to what is on that side of it.” 4 I will send out the curse,” says the LORD of hosts; “It shall enter the house of the thief and the house of the one who swears falsely by My name. It shall remain in the midst of his house and consume it, with its timber and stones.” 5 Then the angel who talked with me came out and said to me, “Lift your eyes now, and see what this is that goes forth.” 6 So I asked, “What is it?” And he said, “It is a basket that is going forth.” He also said, “This is their resemblance throughout the earth: 7 Here is a lead disc lifted up, and this is a woman sitting inside the basket”; 8 then he said, “This is Wickedness!” And he thrust her down into the basket, and threw the lead cover over its mouth. 9 Then I raised my eyes and looked, and there were two women, coming with the wind in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between earth and heaven. 10 So I said to the angel who talked with me, “Where are they carrying the basket?” 11 And he said to me, “To build a house for it in the land of Shinar; when it is ready, the basket will be set there on its base.”

Opet sam podigao svoje oçi i gledao, i gle, bio je tu svitak knjige æto leti. 2 Upitao me: “Æto vidiæ?” Ja sam odgovorio: “Vidim svitak knjige æto leti, dvadeset lakata dug i deset lakata æirok.” 3 Tada mi je rekao: “To je prokletstvo, koje je izaælo na svu zemlju, jer svaki kradljivac iskorijenit øe se po njemu odavde, i svaki krivokletnk iskorijenit øe se po njemu odavde. 4 Ja øu ga pustiti,” govori Gospodin vojska– “da prodre u kuøu kradljivca i u kuøu onoga, koji se zaklinje krivo mojim imenom, i da mu stoji usred kuøe i da je uniæti zajedno s drvljem i kamenjem.” 5 Onda pristupi anåeo, koji je govorio sa mnom, i rekao mi: “Podigni svoje oçi i vidi æto se pojavljuje!” 6 Ja sam upitao: “Æto je to?” On je odgovorio: “To je efa æto se pojavljuje.” Onda je rekao: “Tako je velika krivnja njihova u cijeloj zemlji.” 7 I gle, podizao se olovni poklopac i jedna je œena sjedila u efi. 8 On je rekao: “To je bezboœnost”, i baci je opet natrag u efu, a na otvor pribije onaj olovni poklopac. 9 Opet sam podigao svoje oçi i gledao. Gle, pojavile su se dvije œene i vjetar je bio u krilima njihovim–imale su, naime, krila kao u rode. One ponesu efu izmeåu zemlje i neba. 10 Onda sam upitao anåela koji je govorio sa mnom: “Kamo nose tu efu?” 11 On mi odgovorio: “Hoøe da sagrade œeni kuøu u zemlji Æinearu, kad se napravi, postavit øe je ondje na svoje mjesto.”

Then I turned and raised my eyes and looked, and behold, four chariots were coming from between two mountains, and the mountains were mountains of bronze. 2 With the first chariot were red horses, with the second chariot black horses, 3 with the third chariot white horses, and with the fourth chariot dappled horses–strong steeds.

Osmo viåenje: çetvrta kola

Opet sam podigao svoje oçi i gledao, i gle, pojavila su se çetvera bojna kola izmeåu dvije gore, a gore su bile od mjedi. 2 U prvim su kolima bili konji riåi, u drugima konji crni, 3 u treøima konji bijeli, a u çetvrtima kolima konji æareni, konji jaki. 4 Onda sam progovorio anåelu koji je govorio

-1012Zechariah Zaharija 4 Then I answered and said to the angel who talked sa mnom rekavæi: “Tko su ti, moj gospodaru?” 5 Odgovorio mi anåeo rekavæi: “Ti izlaze u çetiri with me, “What are these, my LORD?” 5 And the angel answered and said to me, “These are smjera neba, poæto su stajali pred Gospodifour spirits of heaven, who go out from their station nom sve zemlje. 6 Kola s konjima crnim idu u zemlju sjevernu, i before the LORD of all the earth. 6 The one with the black horses is going to the north bijeli iza njih dolaze ovamo.

And poçeli prolaziti zemlju. he said, “Go, walk to and fro throughout the earth.” 8 Onda mi on doviknuo ovo: “Vidi, oni koji idu u zemlju sjevernu, naseljavaju moj duh u zemlji So they walked to and fro throughout the earth. 8 And he called to me, and spoke to me, saying, “See, sjevernoj.” those who go toward the north country have given 9 Onda mi je doæla rijeç Gospodinova, govoreøi: rest to my Spirit in the north country.” 10 “Uzmi darove prognanika, od Heldaja, od 9 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying: 10 Receive the gift from the captives–from Heldai, Tobije i od Jedaje–idi onaj dan u kuøu Josije, Tobijah, and Jedaiah, who have come from sina Sefanijina, kamo su oni doæli iz Babilona!

Now in the fourth year of King Darius it came to pass that the word of the L ORD came to Zechariah, on the fourth day of the ninth month, which is Chislev, 2 when the people sent Sherezer, with RegemMelech and his men, to the house of God, to pray before the LORD, 3 and to ask the priests who were in the house of the LORD of hosts, and the prophets, saying, “Should I weep in the fifth month and fast as I have done for so many years?” 4 Then the word of the LORD of hosts came to me, saying, 5 “Say to all the people of the land, and to the priests: ‘When you fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh months during those seventy years, did you really fast for me–for me? 6 When you eat and when you drink, do you not eat and drink for yourselves? 7 Should you not have obeyed the words which the LORD proclaimed through the former prophets when Jerusalem and the cities around it were inhabited and prosperous, and the South and the Lowland were inhabited?’ ” 8 Then the word of the LORD came to Zechariah, saying, 9 “Thus says the LORD of hosts: ‘Execute true justice, show mercy and compassion everyone to his brother. 10 Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the alien or the poor. Let none of you plan evil in his heart against his brother.

Pouka o postu

U çetvrtoj godini kralja Darija je doæla rijeç Gospodinova Zahariji, çetvrtoga dana devetoga mjeseca, mjeseca Kisleva. 2 Onda je, naime, Betel bio poslao Æarezera i Regem-Meleka sa svojim ljudima da umilostive Gospodina 3 i da sveøenicima koji su pripadali domu Gospodina vojska i prorocima uprave ovo pitanje: “Moramo li u petom mjesecu drœati dan œalosti s postom kako smo to çinili veø toliko godina?” 4 Onda mi je doæla rijeç Gospodina vojska: 5 “Objavi svemu narodu zemaljskom i sveøenicima: ‘Kad ste postili i tugovali u petom i u sedmom mjesecu veø sedamdeset godina, je ste li moœda postili za mene? 6 I kad jedete i pijete, niste li onda vi koji jedete i pijete? 7 Nisu li to rijeçi koje je Gospodin dao propovijedati preko prijaænjih proroka, kad je joæ Jeruzalem bio naseljen i u miru bio zajedno sa svim gradovima naokolo, i kad su joæ bile naseljene juœna zemlja i nizina?’ ” 8 I rijeç Gospodinova je doæla Zahariji, govoreøi: 9 “Ovako govori Gospodin vojska: ‘Vræite sud pravedno i iskazujte jedan drugomu ljubav i milosråe! 10 Nemojte tlaçiti udovice i sirote, doæljake i siromahe i ne mislite niæta zlo jedan drugom u srcu svom! 11 Ali nisu htjeli sluæati, bili su tvrdovrati i zatisnuli su svoje uæi da ne çuju.

Again the word of the LORD of hosts came, saying, 2 “Thus says the LORD of hosts: ‘I am zealous for Zion with great zeal; with great fervor I am zealous for her.’ 3 Thus says the LORD: ‘I will return to Zion, and dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. Jerusalem shall be called the City of Truth, the Mountain of the LORD of hosts, the Holy Mountain.’ 4 Thus says the LORD of hosts: ‘Old men and old women shall again sit in the streets of Jerusalem, each one with his staff in his hand because of great age. 5 The streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in its streets.’ 6 Thus says the LORD of hosts: ‘If it is marvelous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, will it also be marvelous in my eyes?’ says the LORD of hosts. 7 Thus says the LORD of hosts: ‘Behold, I will save my people from the land of the east and from the land of the west; 8 I will bring them back, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. They shall be my people and I will be their God, in truth and righteousness.’ 9 Thus says the LORD of hosts: ‘Let your hands be strong, you who have been hearing in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, who were in the day that the foundation was laid for the house of the LORD of hosts, that the temple might be built. 10 For before these days there were no wages for man nor any hire for beast; there was no peace from the enemy for whoever went out or came in; for I set all men, everyone, against his neighbor. 11 But now I will not treat the remnant of this people as in the former days,’ says the LORD of hosts. 12 For the seed shall be prosperous, the vine shall give its fruit, the ground shall give her increase, and the heavens shall give their dew. I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things. 13 And it shall come to pass that just as you were a curse among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so I will save you, and you shall be a blessing. Do not fear, let your hands be strong.’ 14 For thus says the LORD of hosts: ‘Just as I determined to punish you when your fathers provoked me to wrath,’ says the LORD of hosts, ‘And I would not relent, 15 so again in these days I am determined to do good to Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. Do not fear. 16 These are the things you shall do: speak each man the truth to his neighbor; give judgment in your gates for truth, justice, and peace; 17 let none of you think evil in your heart against your neighbor; and do not love a false oath. For all these are things that I hate,’ says the LORD.” 18 Then the word of the LORD of hosts came to me,

Boœja revnost za Sion

Opet je doæla rijeç Gospodina vojska, govoreøi: 2 “Ovako govori Gospodin vojska: ‘Revnujem za Sion œarkom revnoæøu i raspaljen sam zbog njega œestokim gnjevom.’ 3 Ovako govori Gospodin: ‘Vraøam se natrag na Sion i opet øu stanovati u Jeruzalemu, i Jeruzalem øe se zvati Grad vjernosti i gora Gospodina vojska Sveta gora.’ 4 Ovako govori Gospodin vojska: ‘Opet øe starci i starice sjediti po jeruzalemskim ulicama; svatko ima svoj ætap u ruci zbog punine dana œivota. 5 I ulice gradske bit øe opet pune djeçaka i djevojaka æto øe se igrati po ulicama.’ 6 Ovako govori Gospodin vojska: ‘Ako se to æto øe se dogoditi u one dane çini çudno ostatku toga naroda, zar da to bude çudno i u mojim oçima’, govori Gospodin vojska. 7 Ovako govori Gospodin vojska: ‘Evo, ja oslobaåam svoj narod iz zemlje istoka sunca i iz zemlje njegova zapada 8 I dovodim ih kuøi. Oni øe opet stanovati u Jeruzalemu i bit øe moj narod, a ja øu biti njihov Bog u vjernosti i pravednosti.’ 9 Ovako govori Gospodin vojska: ‘Ohrabrite se koji sluæate u ove dane ova obeøanja iz usta proroka koji su govorili u dane kad se poloœio temelj gradnji kuøe Gospodina vojska, da bi se sagradio dom! 10 Jer prije ovih dana nije bilo plaøe za rad ljudi ni plaøe za œivinçe. Tko je izlazio i ulazio, nije bio siguran od neprijatelja: posvadio sam sve ljude meåu sobom. 11 A sada neøu viæe biti kao u prijaænje dane ostatku toga naroda, govori Gospodin vojska. 12 Nego øe usjev biti siguran. Vinova øe loza nositi plod svoj i zemlja øe raåati svoj rod. Nebo øe davati rosu svoju, i sve øu to pridijeliti ostatku toga naroda. 13 I kao æto ste prije bili kletva meåu narodima, kuøo Judina i kuøo Izraelova, tako øu vam sada pribaviti spasenje da budete blagoslov. Ne bojte se, ohrabrite se!’ 14 Jer ovako govori Gospodin vojska ‘Kao æto sam bio namislio da vam uçinim zlo kad su me bili razgnjevili vaæi oçevi’, govori Gospodin vojska’–i nisam popustio, 15 isto sam tako sad u ove dane namislio iskazati dobro Jeruzalemu i kuøi Judinoj.

The burden of the word of the LORD against the land of Hadrach, and Damascus its resting place (for the eyes of men and all the tribes of Israel are on the LORD); 2 also against Hamath, which borders on it, and against Tyre and Sidon, though they are very wise. 3 for Tyre built herself a tower, heaped up silver like the dust, and gold like the mire of the streets. 4 Behold, the LORD will cast her out; he will destroy her power in the sea, and she will be devoured by fire. 5 Ashkelon shall see it and fear; Gaza also shall be very sorrowful; and Ekron, for he dried up her expectation. The king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited. 6 A mixed race shall settle in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines. 7 I will take away the blood from his mouth, and the abominations from between his teeth. But he who remains, even he shall be for our God, and shall be like a leader in Judah, and Ekron like a Jebusite. 8 I will camp around my house because of the army, because of him who passes by and him who returns. No more shall an oppressor pass through them, for now I have seen with my eyes. 9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King is coming to you; he is just and having salvation, lowly and riding on a donkey, a colt, the foal of a donkey. 10 I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim and the horse from Jerusalem; the battle bow shall be cut off. He shall speak peace to the nations; his dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth. 11 As for you also, because of the blood of your covenant, I will set your prisoners free from the waterless pit. 12 Return to the stronghold, you prisoners of hope. Even today I declare that I will restore double to you. 13 For I have bent Judah, my bow, fitted the bow with Ephraim, and raised up your sons, O Zion, against your sons, O Greece, and made you like the sword of a mighty man.” 14 Then the LORD will be seen over them, and his arrow will go forth like lightning. The LORD God will blow the trumpet, and go with whirlwinds from the south. 15 The LORD of hosts will defend them; They shall devour and subdue with sling stones. They shall drink and roar as if with wine; they shall be filled with

Utemeljenje mesijanskoga kraljevstva

Proroçanstvo. Rijeç Gospodinova doæla je protiv zemlje Hadraka i spusti se na Damask poçivaliæte njegovo. Kad se çovjeçje oçi i oçi plemena Izraelova okrenu prama Gospodinu. 2 I protiv Hamata æto im je na meåi, protiv Tira i Sidona, jer su veoma mudri. 3 Tir je sebi sagradio bedem i nanio srebra kao praha i zlata kao blata po putu. 4 Gle, Gospodin øe ga osvojiti i bedem njegov sruæiti u more i on sam izgorjet øe ognjem. 5 Aækelon gleda i dræøe, i Gaza strepi jako, Ekron isto tako, jer ga osramoti nadanje njegovo. Kralj mora uzmaknuti iz Gaze i u Aækelonu neøe stanovati nitko. 6 Mjeæavina ljudi naseli se u Aædodu; i slomit øu ponos Filistejaca. 7 Uzet øu mu njegovu krv iz usta, njegovu odvratnost iz njegovih zuba, ali øe i od njih ostati jedan ostatak naæem Bogu i bit øe kao jedna obitelj u Judi, i Ekron øe vrijediti kao Jebusejci. 8 Onda øu opkoliti svoju kuøu za obranu protiv vojske, protiv svih koji dolaze i odlaze. Neøe viæe dolaziti na njih nadstojnik, jer øu sad ja nastojati svojim oçima. 9 Raduj se glasno, køeri sionska! Kliçi, køeri jeruzalemska! Evo, kralj tvoj dolazi k tebi, pravedan i kao Spasitelj, pun poniznosti i jaæe na magarcu, na magaretu, mladunçetu magariçinu. 10 Iz Efraima uklonit øu bojna kola i konja iz Jeruzalema. Bit øe uniæteni i lßkovi ubojiti. Jer øe on navijestiti mir narodima. Vlast øe njegova dosezati od mora do mora, od Eufrata do krajeva zemlje. 11 Zbog krvnoga zavjeta æto sam ga napravio s tobom oslobodit øu suœnje tvoje iz jame bezvodne. 12 Vratite se tvråavi, suœnji puni nadanja! Joæ ti danas javljam, vratit øu ti dvostruko. 13 Jer zapinjem sebi Judu kao lßk, punim ga Efraimom i vitlam tvoje sinove, Sione, na tvoje sinove, Javane, i uçinit øu te maçem junaçkim. 14 Onda øe se Gospodin pokazati nad njima. Strijela øe njegova iziøi kao munja. Gospodin Bog zatrubit øe u trubu i doæumit øe u vihorima Temana. 15 Gospodin vojska zaklanjat øe ih. Oni øe œderati praøkaæe, gazit øe ih, pit øe krv njihovu

For they shall be like the jew- 16 I Gospodin, njihov Bog, udijelit øe im u onaj dan pobjedu kao stadu svojega naroda. Oni su els of a crown, lifted like a banner over his land– 17 for how great is their goodness And how great kao kamenovi u zlatnom vijencu na çelu æto their beauty! Grain shall make the young men thrive, blistaju nad zemljom njegovom. 17 Jer kako je to sjajno, kako lijepo! Od œita øe and new wine the young women. rasti momci, od vina øe nicati djevojke.

Ask the LORD for rain in the time of the latter rain. the LORD will make flashing clouds; he will give them showers of rain, grass in the field for everyone. 2 For the idols speak delusion; the diviners envision lies, and tell false dreams; they comfort in vain. Therefore the people wend their way like sheep; they are in trouble because there is no shepherd. 3 My anger is kindled against the shepherds, and I will punish the goatherds. For the LORD of hosts will visit his flock, the house of Judah, and will make them as his royal horse in the battle. 4 From him comes the cornerstone, from him the tent peg, from him the battle bow, from him every ruler together. 5 They shall be like mighty men, who tread down their enemies in the mire of the streets in the battle. They shall fight because the LORD is with them, and the riders on horses shall be put to shame. 6 I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph. I will bring them back, because I have mercy on them. They shall be as though I had not cast them aside; for I am the LORD their God, and I will hear them. 7 Those of Ephraim shall be like a mighty man, and their heart shall rejoice as if with wine. Yes, their children shall see it and be glad; their heart shall rejoice in the LORD. 8 I will whistle for them and gather them, for I will redeem them; and they shall increase as they once increased. 9 I will sow them among the peoples, and they shall remember me in far countries; they shall live, together with their children, and they shall return. 10 I will also bring them back from the land of Egypt, and gather them from Assyria. I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon, until no more room is found for them. 11 He shall pass through the sea with affliction, and strike the waves of the sea: all the depths of the River shall dry up. Then the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, and the scepter of Egypt shall depart. 12 So I will strengthen them in the LORD, and they shall walk up and down in his name, says the LORD.

Open your doors, O Lebanon, that fire may devour your cedars. 2 Wail, O cypress, for the cedar has fallen, because the mighty trees are ruined. Wail, O oaks of Bashan, for the thick forest has come down. 3 There is the sound of wailing shepherds! for their glory is in ruins. There is the sound of roaring lions! For the pride of the Jordan is in ruins. 4 Thus says the LORD my God, “Feed the flock for slaughter, 5 whose owners slaughter them and feel no guilt; those who sell them say, ‘Blessed be the LORD, for I am rich’; and their shepherds do not pity them. 6 For I will no longer pity the inhabitants of the land, says the LORD. “But indeed I will give everyone into his neighbor’s hand and into the hand of his king. They shall attack the land, and I will not deliver them

Oni se bore jer je Gospodin s njima. Osramotit øe se jahaç i konj. 6 Uçinit øu jakom kuøu Judinu. Dat øu pomoø kuøi Josipovoj. Dovest øu ih natrag i smilovat øu se njima, i bit øe mi, kao da ih nisam nikada odbacio, jer sam ja Gospodin, njihov Bog, i usliæat øu ih. 7 Oni od Efraima bit øe kao junaci, i kao od vina bit øe im srce veselo. Djeca njihova radosno øe to vidjeti. Srce øe im se radovati u Gospodinu. 8 Domamit øu ih i skupit øu ih jer hoøu da ih izbavim. Oni øe postati tako mnogobrojni kao æto su bili prije. 9 Ja sam ih rasuo meåu narode, ali øe se u dalekoj zemlji sjetiti mene. Oni øe ostati na œivotu sa svojim sinovima i onda øe se vratiti natrag. 10 Dovest øu ih natrag iz zemlje Egipta, skupit øu ih iz Asirije i dovest øu ih u zemlju Gilead i na Lebanon, dok viæe neøe biti mjesta za njih. 11 On øe iøi preko mora iz Egipta. Razbit øe vale u moru, sve øe dubine Rijeci presahnuti. Slomit øe se ponos Asirije. Œezlo øe se Egiptu oduzeti. 12 Ojaçat øu ih u Gospodinu: oni øe hoditi u njegovo Ime,” govori Gospodin.

Behold, the day of the LORD is coming, And your spoil will be divided in your midst. 2 For I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem; the city shall be taken, the houses rifled, and the women ravished. Half of the city shall go into captivity, but the remnant of the people shall not be cut off from the city. 3 Then the LORD will go forth and fight against those nations, as he fights in the day of battle. 4 And in that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which faces Jerusalem on the east. And the Mount of Olives shall be split in two, from east to west, making a very large valley; half of the mountain shall move toward the north and half of it toward the south. 5 Then you shall flee through my mountain valley, for the mountain valley shall reach to Azal. Yes, you

In that day a fountain shall be opened for the house of David and for the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for uncleanness. 2 It shall be in that day, says the LORD of hosts, “that I will cut off the names of the idols from the land, and they shall no longer be remembered. I will also cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to depart from the land. 3 It shall come to pass that if anyone still prophesies, then his father and mother who begot him will say to him, ‘You shall not live, because you have spoken lies in the name of the LORD.’ And his father and mother who begot him shall thrust him through when he prophesies. 4 And it shall be in that day that every prophet will be ashamed of his vision when he prophesies; they will not wear a robe of coarse hair to deceive. 5 But he will say, ‘I am no prophet, I am a farmer; for a man taught me to keep cattle from my youth.’ 6 And someone will say to him, ‘What are these wounds in your hands?’ Then he will answer, ‘Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.’ 7 Awake, O sword, against my Shepherd, against the Man who is my Companion, says the LORD of hosts. Strike the Shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered; then I will turn my hand against the little ones. 8 And it shall come to pass in all the land, says the LORD, That two thirds in it shall be cut off and die, but one third shall be left in it: 9 I will bring the one third through the fire, will refine them as silver is refined, and test them as gold is tested. They will call on My name, and I will answer them. I will say, ‘This is my people’; and each one will say, ‘The LORD is my God.’ ”

Malachi

The burden of the word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi. 2 “I have loved you,” says the LORD. “Yet you say, ‘In what way have you loved us?’ Was not Esau Jacob’s brother?” says the LORD. “Yet Jacob I have loved; 3 but Esau I have hated, and laid waste his mountains and his heritage for the jackals of the wilderness.” 4 Even though Edom has said, “We have been impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places,” Thus says the LORD of hosts: “They may build, but I will throw down; they shall be called the Territory of Wickedness, and the people against whom the LORD will have indignation forever. 5 your eyes shall see, and you shall say, ‘The LORD is magnified beyond the border of Israel.’ 6 A son honors his father, and a servant his master. If then I am the Father, where is my honor? And if I am a Master, where is my reverence? Says the LORD of hosts to you priests who despise My name. Yet you say, ‘In what way have we despised your name?’ 7 You offer defiled food on my altar. But you say, ‘In what way have we defiled you?’ By saying, ‘The table of the LORD is contemptible.’ 8 And when you offer the blind as a sacrifice, is it not evil? And when you offer the lame and sick, is it not evil? Offer it then to your governor! Would he be pleased with you? Would he accept you favorably?” says the LORD of hosts. 9 “But now entreat God’s favor, that he may be gracious to us. While this is being done by your hands, will he accept you favorably?” says the LORD of hosts. 10 “Who is there even among you who would shut the doors, So that you would not kindle fire on my altar in vain? I have no pleasure in you,” says the LORD of hosts, “Nor will I accept an offering from your hands. 11 For from the rising of the sun, even to its going down, My name shall be great among the Gentiles; In every place incense shall be offered to My name, and a pure offering; For My name shall be great among the nations,” says the LORD of hosts. 12 “But you profane it, in that you say, ‘The table of the LORD is defiled; and its fruit, its food, is contemptible.’ 13 You also say, ‘Oh, what a weariness!’ and you sneer at it, says the LORD of hosts. “And you bring the stolen, the lame, and the sick; thus you bring an offering! Should I accept this from your hand?” says the LORD. 14 “But cursed be the deceiver who has in his flock a male, and makes a vow, but sacrifices to the LORD what is blemished–for I am a great King,” says the LORD of hosts, “And My name is to be feared among the nations.

And now, O priests, this commandment is for you. 2 If you will not hear, and if you will not take it to heart, to give glory to My name,” says the LORD of hosts, “I will send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings. Yes, I have cursed them already, because you do not take it to heart. 3 Behold, I will rebuke your descendants and spread refuse on your faces, the refuse of your solemn feasts; and one will take you away with it. 4 Then you shall know that I have sent this commandment to you, that my covenant with Levi may

Malahija Ljubav Boœja prema Izraelu

Rijeç proroçanstva Gospodinova Izraelu preko Malahije. 2 “Ljubio sam vas,” govori Gospodin. “A vi pitate: ‘Kako si nas to ljubio?’ Nije li Ezav brat Jakovu?” govori Gospodin. “Ali sam ljubio Jakova; 3 a mrzio sam Ezava. Opustio sam gore njegove i njegovu baætinu predao sam çagljima pustinjskim.” 4 Iako govori Edom: “Naæa je zemlja opustoæena, ali øemo opet sagraditi ruæevine”–ovako govori Gospodin vojska: “Neka oni grade, ali øu ja poruæiti. Oni øe se zvati ‘zemlja zloçina’ i narod na koji se gnjevi Gospodin zauvijek. 5 Kad oçi vaæe to vidiju, reøi øete: ‘Neka se uzveliça Gospodin preko meåa Izraelovih.’ 6 Sin poætuje oca i sluga svojega gospodara. Ako sam ja otac, gdje je çast moja? Ako sam gospodar, gdje je strah od mene, govori Gospodin vojska–vama, sveøenici, koji sramotite Ime moje. Pitate: ‘Kako smo mi to sramotili tvoje Ime?’ 7 Prinosite neçisto jelo na mojem œrtveniku i joæ pitate: ‘Kako smo te oskvrnuli?’ S tim æto mislite: ‘Stol je Gospodinov preziran.’ 8 Kad donosite slijepo œivinçe na œrtvu, nije li to zlo? Kad prinosite hromo ili bolesno, nije li to zlo? Prinesi ga svojem namjesniku, hoøe li se on razveseliti tomu i milostivo te primiti?” Govori Gospodin vojska. 9 “Zato umilostivite Boga da nas primi milostivo! Iz vaæe ruke tako mu je davano. Moœe li on onda biti milostiv prema vama?” Govori Gospodin vojska. 10 “Tko je meåu vama koji bi zatvorio vrata i zapalio oganj na mojem œrtveniku ni za æto? Niste mi mili,” govori Gospodin vojska–“i ne mogu primiti œrtve iz vaæe ruke. 11 Jer od istoka sunca do zapada njegova veliko øe biti Ime moje meåu narodima, i posvuda øe se œrtvovati mojem Imenu i prinosit øe se çist prinos, jer øe veliko biti Ime moje meåu narodima,” govori Gospodin vojska. 12 “Ali vi ga oskvrnjujete kad govorite: Stol je Gospodinov oskvrnjen i æto dolazi s njega prezirno je. 13 Govorite: ‘Kolika muka!’ i raspirujete oganj njegov, govori Gospodin vojska. Prinosite ugrabljeno ili hromo i bolesno kao œrtvu. Zar da to primam iz vaæe ruke,” govori Gospodin. 14 “A proklet varalica, koji ima u svojem stadu muæko œivinçe i premda ga je zavjetovao Svemoønomu, ipak œrtvuje samo loæe, jer sam ja velik kralj,” govori Gospodin vojska–“i mojega Imena se treba bojati narodima. A sada vi sveøenici, ova zapovijed je za vas: 2 Ako ne posluæate i od srca ne idete za tim da mojem Imenu dadete çast,” govori Gospodin vojska–“onda øu pustiti na vas prokletstvo i pretvorit øu blagoslove vaæe u prokletstva. Jest, veø sam ih pretvorio u prokletstva, jer ih niste primili k srcu. 3 Evo, odbit øu vam miæicu i blato øu vam sasuti u lice, blato vaæih Sveçanih gozba, k njemu øe vas pomesti. 4 Onda øete spoznati da sam vam ja poslao

Vi øete onda iziøi i poskakivati kao telad æto su stajala u ætali. 3 Onda øete pogaziti bezboœnike, jer øe oni biti kao prah pod stopama vaæim u dan koji spremam, govori Gospodin vojska. 4 Sjeøajte se zakona mojega sluge Mojsija, komu sam dao na Horebu za sav Izrael pravne propise i zakone! 5 Evo, ja øu vam poslati proroka Iliju prije nego doåe veliki i straæni dan Gospodinov. 6 On øe okrenuti srca otaca k sinovima i srca sinova k oçevima–da ne doåem i ne udarim zemlju prokletstvom.”

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MATTHEW

RADOSNA VIJEST PO MATEJU

The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the Son of Abraham: 2 Abraham begot Isaac, Isaac begot Jacob, and Jacob begot Judah and his brothers. 3 Judah begot Perez and Zerah by Tamar, Perez begot Hezron, and Hezron begot Ram. 4 Ram begot Amminadab, Amminadab begot Nahshon, and Nahshon begot Salmon. 5 Salmon begot Boaz by Rahab, Boaz begot Obed by Ruth, Obed begot Jesse, 6 and Jesse begot David the king. David the king begot Solomon by her who had been the wife of Uriah. 7 Solomon begot Rehoboam, Rehoboam begot Abijah, and Abijah begot Asa. 8 Asa begot Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat begot Joram, and Joram begot Uzziah. 9 Uzziah begot Jotham, Jotham begot Ahaz, and Ahaz begot Hezekiah. 10 Hezekiah begot Manasseh, Manasseh begot Amon, and Amon begot Josiah. 11 Josiah begot Jeconiah and his brothers about the time they were carried away to Babylon. 12 And after they were brought to Babylon, Jeconiah begot Shealtiel, and Shealtiel begot Zerubbabel. 13 Zerubbabel begot Abiud, Abiud begot Eliakim, and Eliakim begot Azor. 14 Azor begot Zadok, Zadok begot Achim, and Achim begot Eliud. 15 Eliud begot Eleazar, Eleazar begot Matthan, and Matthan begot Jacob. 16 And Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus who is called Christ. 17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations, from David until the captivity in Babylon are fourteen generations, and from the captivity in Babylon until the Christ are fourteen generations. 18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: After his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. 19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not wanting to make her a public example, was minded to put her away secretly. 20 But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. 21 And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” 22 Now all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying: 23 “Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call his name Imma-nuel,” which is translated, “God with us.” 24 Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took to him his wife, 25 and did not know her till she had brought forth her firstborn Son. And he called his name Jesus.

Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem,

Rodoslovlje Isusovo. Zaçetak po Duhu Svetom

1

Rodoslovlje Isusa Krista, sina Davidova, sina Abrahamova. 2 Abrahamu se rodio Izak, a Izaku se rodio Jakov, a Jakovu se rodio Juda i braøa njegova. 3 Judi s Tamarom rodio se Peres i Zeraha, Peresu se rodio Hezron, a Hezronu se rodio Ram. 4 Ramu se rodio Aminadab, Aminadabu se rodio Nahæon, a Nahæonu se rodio Salmon. 5 Salmonu s Rahabom rodio se Boaz, Boazu s Rutom rodio se Obed, a Obedu se rodio Jesej, 6 a Jeseju se rodio kralj David. Kralju Davidu s bivæom œenom Urijinom rodio se Salomon. 7 Salomonu se rodio Roboam, Roboamu se rodio Abija, a Abiji se rodio Asa. 8 Asi se rodio Jozafat, Jozafatu se rodio Joram, a Joramu se rodio Hazija. 9 Haziji se rodio Jotam, Jotamu se rodio Ahaz, a Ahazu se rodio Ezekija. 10 Ezekiji se rodio Manaseha, Manasehu se rodio Amon, a Amonu se rodio Josija. 11 Josiji se rodio Jehonija i braøa njegova, u vrijeme dok su bili prognani u Babilon. 12 A poslije progonstva u Babilon Jehoniji se rodio Æealtiel, a Æealtielu se rodio Zerubabel. 13 Zerubabelu se rodio Abijud, Abijudu se rodio Elijakim, a Elijakimu se rodio Azor. 14 Azoru se rodio Sadok, Sadoku se rodio Akim, a Akimu se rodio Elijud. 15 Elijudu se rodio Eleazar, Eleazaru se rodio Matan, a Matanu se rodio Jakov. 16 A Jakovu se rodio Josip, muœ Marije, od koje se rodioo Isus koji se zove Krist. 17 Tako, dakle, od Abrahama do Davida ima çetrnaest naraætaja; a od Davida do progonstva u Babilon ima çetrnaest naraætaja; poslije progonstva u Babilon do Krista ima çetrnaest naraætaja. 18 A roåenje Isusa Krista bilo je ovako. Kada je njegova majka Marija bila zaruçena s Josipom, ali prije nego æto su se sastali, pokazalo se da je ona zatrudnjela po Duhu Svetom. 19 A Josip, njezin muœ, jer je bio pravedan i jer ju nije htio javno pred ljudima sramotiti, naumio je da ju potajno napusti. 20 Dok je on tako umovao, gle, ukazao mu se u snu anåeo Gospodinov govoreøi: “Josipe, sine Davidov, ne boj se uzeti k sebi Mariju, svoju œenu, jer ono æto se u njoj zaçelo doista je od Duha Svetoga. 21 Ona øe roditi Sina i ti øeæ mu nadjenuti ime Isus, jer øe on spasiti svoj narod od grijeha njegovih.” 22 A to je sve uçinjeno da bi se ispunilo ono æto je Gospodin rekao preko proroka, govoreøi: 23 “Gledajte, djevica øe zaçeti i roditi Sina, i nazvat øe ga imenom Emanuel,” æto prevedeno znaçi, ‘Bog s nama.’ ” 24 Kad se Josip probudio, uçinio je kako mu je anåeo Gospodinov zapovjedio, uzeo je œenu svoju, 25 ali je nije upoznao sve dok nije rodila svojega prvog Sina. I on mu je nadjenuo ime Isus.

In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea, 2 and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!” 3 For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, saying: “The voice of one crying in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.’ ” 4 And John himself was clothed in camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist; and his food was locusts and wild honey. 5 Then Jerusalem, all Judea, and all the region around the Jordan went out to him 6 and were baptized by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins. 7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, “Brood of vipers! Who has warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8 Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance, 9 and do not think to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones. 10 And even now the ax is laid to the root of the trees. Therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but he who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. 12 His winnowing fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his threshing floor, and gather his wheat into the barn; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.” 13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him. 14 And John tried to prevent him, saying, “I have need to be baptized by you, and are you coming to me?” 15 But Jesus answered and said to him, “Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed him. 16 Then Jesus, when he had been baptized, came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon him. 17 And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward he was hungry. 3 Now when the tempter came to him, he said, “If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.” 4 But he answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ” 5 Then the devil took him up into the holy city, set him on the pinnacle of the temple, 6 and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down. For it is written: ‘He shall give his angels charge concerning you,’ and, ‘In their hands they shall bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone.’ ” 7 Jesus said to him, “It is written again, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’ ” 8 Again, the devil took him up on an exceedingly high

Matej Krætenje Isusovo

U one dane doæao je Ivan Krstitelj, propropovijedajuøi u pustinji judejskoj 2 i govoreøi: “Pokajte se jer se pribliœilo kraljevstvo nebesko.” 3 Jer ovo je uistinu onaj za kojega je govorio prorok Izaija, govoreøi: “Glas onoga æto viçe u pustinji: ‘Pripravite put Gospodinu, poravnajte staze njegove.’ ” 4 Ivan je imao odjeøu od devine dlake i koœnat pojas oko struka; a hrana su mu bili skakavci i divlji med. 5 Tada izaåu k njemu Jeruzalem, sva Judeja i sva okolica jordanska. 6 On ih je krstio u rijeci Jordanu, ispovijedajuøi svoje grijehe. 7 Kad opazi mnoge farizeje i saduceje gdje mu dolaze na krætenje, rekao im: “Leglo zmijsko! Tko vas je upozorio da bjeœite od srdœbe koja dolazi? 8 Donosite dakle plod koji je dostojan pokajanja, 9 I ne usudite se govoriti u sebi: ‘Imamo oca Abrahama.’ Jer ja vam kaœem, Bog moœe od kamenja ovoga podiøi djecu Abrahamu. 10 Veø je poloœena sjekira na korijen stablima. Svako dakle stablo koje ne donosi dobroga ploda sijeçe se i baca u oganj. 11 Ja vas, istina, krstim vodom za pokajanje, ali onaj koji dolazi za mnom jaçi je od mene, njegovu obuøu ja nisam dostojan ponijeti. On øe vas krstiti Duhom Svetim i ognjem. 12 On ima u svojoj ruci vijaçu, te øe potpuno oçistiti svoje gumno i svoju øe pæenicu skupiti u œitnicu, a pljevu øe spaliti ognjem neugasivim.” 13 Tada je doæao Isus iz Galileje na Jordan k Ivanu da ga ovaj krsti. 14 Ali Ivan ga je pokuæavao odvratiti od toga govoreøi: “Ti treba da krstiæ mene, a ti dolaziæ k meni?” 15 Ali mu Isus odgovorio: “Pusti to za sada, jer tako nam dolikuje da ispunimo svu pravednost.” Tada mu popusti. 16 Tada Isus, poslije krætenja, odmah izaåe iz vode; i gle! Nebo mu se otvorilo i On je vidio Duha Boœjega gdje silazi kao golub i spuæta se na njega. 17 I odjedanput, glas dopre s neba govoreøi: “Ovo je moj ljubljeni Sin, s njime sam vrlo zadovoljan.” Kuænja u pustinji

Tada Isusa odvede Duh u pustinju da ga åavao kuæa. 2 I poæto je postio çetrdeset dana i çetrdeset noøi, naposljetku je ogladnio. 3 Tada je pristupio k njemu napasnik i rekao: “Ako si ti zaista Sin Boœji, zapovjedi da ovo kamenje postane kruhom.” 4 A on mu odgovarajuøi rekao: “Napisano je: ‘ne œivi çovjek samo od kruha, nego od svake rijeçi koja izlazi iz usta Boœjih.’ ” 5 Zatim ga odvede åavao gore u sveti grad i postavi ga na vrh hrama, 6 pa mu rekao: “Ako si ti zaista Sin Boœji, baci se dolje. Ta napisano je, ‘Anåelima øe svojim dati da paze na te,’ i ‘Oni øe te na svojim rukama ponijeti, da se gdje nogom ne spotakneæ o kamen.’ ” 7 A Isus mu rekao: “Napisano je isto tako: ‘Ne iskuæavaj Gospodina, Boga svojega.’ ”

Jer je napisano: ‘Gospodinu Bogu svojemu and him only you shall serve.’ ” 11 Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came samo se klanjaj i samo njemu jedinomu sluœi.’ ” 11 Tada ga je åavao napustio, i gle, anåeli su and ministered to him. 12 Now when Jesus heard that John had been put in pristupili k njemu i sluœili ga. 12 Kada je Isus çuo da je Ivan baçen u tamnicu, prison, he departed to Galilee. 13 And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in povukao se i otiæao u Galileju.

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MARK

RADOSNA VIJEST PO MARKU

The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. 2 As it is written in the Prophets: “Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.” 3 “The voice of one crying in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.’ ” 4 John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.

Poçetak Radosne vijesti Isusa Krista, Sina Boœjega. 2 Kao æto je napisano u prorocima: “Evo, ja æaljem svojega glasnika pred tvojim licem koji øe ti pripraviti put.” 3 Glas jednoga koji viçe u pustinji: ‘Pripravite put Gospodinu, poravnajte mu staze njegove.’

And again he entered Capernaum after some days, and it was heard that he was in the house. 2 Immediately many gathered together, so that there was no longer room to receive them, not even near the door. And he preached the word to them. 3 Then they came to him, bringing a paralytic who was carried by four men. 4 And when they could not come near him because of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where he was. And when they had broken through, they let down the bed on which the paralytic was lying. 5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.” 6 But some of the scribes were sitting there and reasoning in their hearts, 7 “Why does this Man speak blasphemies like this? Who can forgive sins but God alone?” 8 And immediately, when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they reasoned thus within themselves, he said to them, “Why do you reason about these things in your hearts? 9 Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Arise, take up your bed and walk’? 10 But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins”–he said to the paralytic, 11 “I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go your way to your house.” 12 And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went out in the presence of them all, so that all were

Ozdravljenje uzetoga. Trganje klasja

Nakon nekoliko dana opet je On uæao u Kafarnaum i proçulo se da je u kuøi. 2 Odmah se mnogi skupili, toliko da nije viæe bilo mjesta za njih ni pred vratima. On im je propovijedao rijeç. 3 Tada su doæli k njemu noseøi uzetoga, a nosila su ga çetvorica. 4 A kako nisu mogli doøi blizu njega zbog mnoætva naroda, otkriju krov nad mjestom gdje je On bio. Kad su naçinili otvor, spustili postelju na kojoj je leœao uzeti. 5 Kad je Isus vidio njihovu vjeru, rekao je uzetomu: “Sinko, grijesi su ti oproæteni.” 6 Tu su sjedili neki pismoznanci koji su mislili u svojim srcima: 7 “Zaæto ovaj çovjek tako huli Boga? Tko moœe opraætati grijehe osim samoga Boga?” 8 A Isus çim je prozreo svojim duhom da oni tako meåusobno misle, rekao im: “Zaæto vi tako pomiæljate u svojim srcima?” 9 Æto je lakæe reøi uzetomu: ‘Oproæteni su ti tvoji grijesi,’ ili reøi: ‘Ustani, uzmi svoju postelju i hodaj?’ 10 Ali znajte da Sin Çovjeçji ima vlast na zemlji opraætati grijehe,” te rekao uzetomu bolesniku: 11 Tebi govorim, ustani, uzmi svoju postelju i hajde kuøi svojoj.” 12 I on odmah je ustao, uzeo svoju postelju te iziæao i otiæao na oçigled svih, tako da su se svi çudili i slavili Boga govoreøi: “Takvo neæto joæ nismo nikada vidjeli!”

How 40 A njima je rekao: “Zaæto ste tako bojaœljivi?

Then they came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gadarenes. 2 And when he had come out of the boat, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, 3 who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no one could bind him, not even with chains, 4 because he had often been bound with shackles and chains. And the chains had been pulled apart by him, and the shackles broken in pieces; neither could anyone tame him. 5 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains and in the tombs, crying out and cutting himself with stones. 6 But when he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and worshiped him. 7 And he cried out with a loud voice and said, “What have I to do with you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I implore you by God that you do not torment me.” 8 For he said to him, “Come out of the man, unclean spirit!” 9 Then he asked him, “What is your name?” And he answered, saying, “My name is Legion; for we are many.” 10 And he begged him earnestly that he would not send them out of the country. 11 Now a large herd of swine was feeding there near the mountains. 12 And all the demons begged him, saying, “Send us to the swine, that we may enter them.” 13 And at once Jesus gave them permission. Then the unclean spirits went out and entered the swine (there were about two thousand); and the herd ran violently down the steep place into the sea, and drowned in the sea. 14 Now those who fed the swine fled, and they told it in the city and in the country. And they went out to

Opsjednuti legijom zloduha

Tada su doæli na drugu stranu mora, u gadarenski kraj. 2 Kad je On iziæao iz laåice, odmah mu doæao u susret iz grobnica jedan çovjek opsjednut neçistim duhom. 3 On je stanovao meåu grobnicama. I nitko ga nije mogao svezati, ni lancima, 4 jer je çesto bio u okovima i vezan lancima. On bi svaki put rastrgao lance i razbio okove na komade i nitko ga nije mogao ukrotiti. 5 On je uvijek noøu i danju bio u gorama i u grobovima, gdje je vikao i ozljeåivao se kamenjem. 6 A kad je izdaleka opazio Isusa, dotrçao je i poklonio mu se. 7 I on je povikao jakim glasom pa rekao: “Æto ja imam s tobom, Isuse, Sine Najviæega Boga? Molim te Bogom nemoj me muçiti.” 8 Jer mu je On, naime, rekao: “Iziåi iz ovoga çovjeka, neçisti duæe!” 9 Zatim ga je upitao: “Kako ti je ime?” A on mu odgovorio: “Ime mi je Legija; jer nas ima mnogo.” 10 Mnogo ga je molio da ih ne istjera iz onoga kraja. 11 A tu, na obronku brda, paslo je veliko krdo svinja. 12 I svi zli duhovi zamole Isusa govoreøi: “Poæalji nas k svinjama, da uåemo u njih.” 13 Odmah im Isus dopusti. Tada su neçisti duhovi iziæli i uæli u svinje (kojih je bilo oko dvije tisuøe); a krdo svinja je jurnulo divlje niz strminu obronka, strmoglavilo se u more i utopilo se. 14 Na to oni koji su hranili svinje, pobjegnu i razglase o svemu tomu po gradu i po selima. A ljudi su otiæli vidjeti æto se to dogodilo. 15 Tada su doæli k Isusu i vidjeli çovjeka koji je

And they were overcome with great amazement. 43 But he commanded them strictly that no one should know it, and said that something should be given her to eat.

Then he went out from there and came to his own country, and his disciples followed him. 2 And when the Sabbath had come, he began to teach in the synagogue. And many hearing him were astonished, saying, “Where did this Man get these things? And what wisdom is this which is given to him, that such mighty works are performed by his hands! 3 Is this not the carpenter, the Son of Mary, and brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?” And they were offended at him. 4 But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own country, among his own relatives, and in his own house.” 5 Now he could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them. 6 And he marveled because of their unbelief. Then he went about the villages in a circuit, teaching. 7 And he called the twelve to him, and began to send them out two by two, and gave them power over unclean spirits. 8 He commanded them to take nothing for the journey except a staff–no bag, no bread, no copper in their money belts– 9 but to wear sandals, and not to put on two tunics. 10 Also he said to them, “In whatever place you enter a house, stay there till you depart from that place. 11 And whoever will not receive you nor hear you, when you depart from there, shake off the dust under your feet as a testimony against them. Assuredly, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!” 12 So they went out and preached that people should repent. 13 And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many who were sick, and healed them. 14 Now King Herod heard of him, for his name had become well-known. And he said, “John the Baptist is risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him.” 15 Others said, “It is Elijah.” And others said, “It is the Prophet, or like one of the prophets.” 16 But when Herod heard, he said, “This is John, whom I beheaded; he has been raised from the dead!” 17 For Herod himself had sent and laid hold of John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife; for he had married her. 18 For John had said to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.” 19 Therefore Herodias held it against him and wanted to kill him, but she could not; 20 for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just

Slanje apostola. Isus hoda po vodi

Tada je On otiæao odande i doæao u svoj rodni kraj, a njegovi su ga uçenici pratili. 2 A kad je doæao Subotnji dan, On je poçeo uçiti u sinagogi. Mnogi su se sluæatelji çudili govoreøi: “Gdje je taj çovjek dobio sve to? Kakva je to mudrost koja mu je dana, da su tako velika çudesna djela uçinjena Njegovim rukama! 3 Nije li ovo drvodjelja, sin Marijin, i brat Jakovljev, Josipov, Judin i Æimunov, zar mu se sestre ne nalaze ovdje meåu nama?” Tako su se oni uvrijedili na njega. 4 A Isus im rekao: “Prorok nije nigdje bez çasti, osim u svojemu rodnom kraju, kod svoje rodbine i u svojoj kuøi.” 5 I nije mogao ondje uçiniti nikakva velika çuda, osim æto je ozdravio nekoliko bolesnika stavljajuøi na njih ruke. 6 On se çudio njihovoj nevjeri. Tada je otiæao po okolnim mjestima i po selima uçeøi. 7 Tada je pozvao k sebi Dvanaestoricu pa ih poçeo slati po dvojicu, i dao im vlast nad neçistim duhovima. 8 Zapovjedi im da na put ne nose niæta, osim ætapa, ni torbe, ni kruha, ni novca u pojasu, 9 nego samo sandale na nogama i da ne odijevaju dviju haljina. 10 Joæ im rekao i ovo: “Gdje god uåete u kuøu, ostanite tu dok ne odete iz toga mjesta. 11 A svaki onaj koji vas ne primi i ne posluæa, kad odete od njih, otresite praæinu æto je ispod vaæih nogu za svjedoçanstvo protiv njih. Istinu vam govorim, bit øe mnogo lakæe Sodomi i Gomori na sudnji dan nego tomu gradu!” 12 Tada su krenuli i propovijedali da se ljudi trebaju pokajati. 13 Mnoge su zle duhove izgonili, mnoge bolesnike pomazali uljem i ozdravili ih. 14 A çuo je to i kralj Herod, jer se Isusovo ime bilo razglasilo, te rekao: “Ivan Krstitelj je uskrsnuo od mrtvih i zato djeluju u njemu çudesne sile.” 15 Drugi su govorili: “To je Ilija.” I neki opet: “To je prorok, ili kao jedan od proroka.” 16 Ali kad je to Herod çuo, rekao je: “To je Ivan komu sam ja odrubio glavu, uskrsnuo je od mrtvih!” 17 Herod je naime sam poslao da uhvate Ivana i da ga svezana u lance bace u tamnicu, zbog Herodijade, œene njegova brata Filipa, koju je uzeo za œenu, 18 jer mu je Ivan govorio: “Nije ti dopuæteno imati œenu svojega brata.” 19 Zbog toga ga je Herodijada zamrzila i htjela ga je ubiti, ali nije mogla. 20 A Herod se bojao Ivana, jer je znao da je on pravedan i svet çovjek i zato ga je ætitio. Kad bi

Then the Pharisees and some of the scribes came together to him, having come from Jerusalem. 2 Now when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is, with unwashed hands, they found fault. 3 For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands in a special way, holding the tradition of the elders. 4 When they come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they wash. And there are many other things which they have received and hold, like the washing of cups, pitchers, copper vessels, and couches. 5 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, “Why do your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands?” 6 He answered and said to them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: ‘This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. 7 ‘And in vain they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ 8 For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men–the washing of pitchers and cups, and many other such things you do.” 9 And he said to them, “All too well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition. 10 For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.’ 11 But you say, ‘If a man says to his father or mother, Whatever profit you might have received from me is Corban (that is, dedicated to the temple); 12 and you no longer let him do anything for his father or his mother, 13 making the word of God of no effect through your tradition which you have handed down. And many such things you do.”

Tada su doæli i okupili se oko Isusa farizeji i neki pismoznanci koji su upravo doæli iz Jeruzalema 2 i opaze neke od njegovih uçenika gdje jedu s neçistim, to jest neopranim, rukama te naåu prigovor. 3 Jer farizeji i uopøe svi Œidovi ne jedu ako prije ne operu ruke na odreåen naçin, drœeøi se tako obiçaja starih. 4 A kad se vrate s trga, ne jedu ako se prije ne umiju i ne operu. Ima joæ mnogo toga æto su primili i æto odrœavaju zbog obiçaja, kao æto je pranje çaæa, vrçeva, bakrenog posuåa i klupa. 5 Tada ga farizeji i pismoznanci upitali: “Zaæto tvoji uçenici ne œive po predaji i obiçaju starih, veø jedu s neopranim rukama?” 6 On im rekao: “Dobro je o vama licemjerima prorokovao Izaija, kako je napisano: ‘Ovaj me narod çasti svojim usnama, a srce im je daleko od mene. 7 ‘Uzalud mi se klanjaju, kad uçe kao nauku zapovijedi ljudske.’ 8 Jer vi izostavljate zapovijed Boœju, a drœite predaju ljudsku, kao æto je pranje vrçeva i çaæa; joæ mnoge druge takve stvari vi çinite.” 9 On im rekao dalje: “Vi tako dobro odbacujete Boœju zapovijed da bi ste tako mogli drœati svoju predaju. 10 Mojsije je, naime, rekao: ‘Poætuj svojega oca i svoju majku’ i: ‘Tko opsuje oca ili majku, neka se kazni smrøu.’ 11 A vi velite: ‘Ako tko reçe svojem ocu ili majci: “Ono çime bih ti trebao pomoøi korban je (to jest, dar posveøen hramu.” 12 Ne dopuætate mu viæe niæta uçiniti za svojega oca ili svoju majku, 13 i tako poniætavate rijeç Boœju svojom predajom, koju ste sami sebi predali.

And he said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you that there are some standing here who will not taste death till they see the kingdom of God present with power.” 2 Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John, and led them up on a high mountain apart by themselves; and he was transfigured before them. 3 His clothes became shining, exceedingly white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them. 4 And Elijah appeared to them with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus. 5 Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah”– 6 because he did not know what to say, for they were greatly afraid. 7 And a cloud came and overshadowed them; and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son. Hear him!” 8 Suddenly, when they had looked around, they saw no one anymore, but only Jesus with themselves. 9 Now as they came down from the mountain, he commanded them that they should tell no one the things they had seen, till the Son of Man had risen from the dead. 10 So they kept this word to themselves, questioning what the rising from the dead meant. 11 And they asked him, saying, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?” 12 Then he answered and told them, “Elijah does come first, and restores all things. And how is it written concerning the Son of Man, that he must suffer many things and be treated with contempt? 13 But I say to you that Elijah has also come, and they did to him whatever they wished, as it is written of him.” 14 And when he came to the disciples, he saw a great multitude around them, and scribes disputing with them. 15 Immediately, when they saw him, all the people were greatly amazed, and running to him, greeted him.

Preobraœenje. Ponovno proricanje muke

On im je dalje rekao: “Zaista, istinu vam govorim, ima nekih ovdje koji sigurno neøe umrijeti dok ne vide kraljevstvo Boœje gdje dolazi sa silom.” 2 Poslije æest dana je uzeo Isus sobom Petra, Jakova i Ivana te poveo njih same gore na visoku goru, i tu se pred njima se preobrazio. 3 Njegove haljine postanu sjajnobijele, kako ih ne moœe obijeliti nijedan bjelilac na zemlji. 4 Ukazao im se Ilija s Mojsijem, i oni su razgovarali s Isusom. 5 Tada je Petar progovorio i rekao Isusu: “Uçitelju, dobro je da smo ovdje. Naçinit øemo tri sjenice: jednu tebi, jednu Mojsiju i jednu Iliji.” 6 Nije znao æto bi rekao, jer su bili vrlo prestraæeni. 7 Uto naiåe oblak te ih prekrije, a iz oblaka dopre glas govoreøi: “Ovo je moj ljubljeni Sin, njega sluæajte!” 8 I odmah, kad pogledaju oko sebe, nisu vidjeli viæe nikoga, osim Isusa s njima. 9 Dok su silazili s gore, naloœi im On da nikom ne pripovijedaju o onom æto su vidjeli, sve dok Sin Çovjeçji ne uskrsne od mrtvih. 10 Oni su te rijeçi zadrœali za sebe, ali su se meåusobno pitali æto to znaçi uskrsnuti od mrtvih. 11 Oni ga upitali: “Zaæto pismoznanci govore da najprije ima doøi Ilija?” 12 Tada im On rekao: “Najprije ima doøi Ilija i sve obnoviti. Kako ono stoji napisano za Sina Çovjeçjega, da On mora mnogo trpjeti i da øe se postupiti s njim s prezirom?” 13 Ali, ja vam kaœem da je Ilija veø doæao, a oni su postupili s njim kako su htjeli, kako je napisano za njega.” 14 Kad je On doæao k uçenicima, opazio oko njih mnoætvo naroda i pismoznance gdje se s njima prepiru. 15 Odmah kad su ga opazili, çitav narod je bio jako iznenaåen, potrçao k njemu pozdravljajuøi ga. 16 On je upitao pismoznance: “O çemu raspravljate s njima?” 17 Odgovorio mu jedan iz mnoætva: “Uçitelju,

Then he arose from there and came to the region of Judea by the other side of the Jordan. And the people gathered to him again, and as he was accustomed, he taught them again. 2 The Pharisees came and asked him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?” testing him. 3 And he answered and said to them, “What did Moses command you?” 4 They said, “Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce, and to dismiss her.” 5 And Jesus answered and said to them, “Because of the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept. 6 But from the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female. 7 For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, 8 and the two shall become one flesh; so then they are no longer two, but one flesh. 9 Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.” 10 And in the house his disciples asked him again about the same matter. 11 So he said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her. 12 And if a woman divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.” 13 Then they brought young children to him, that he might touch them; but the disciples rebuked those who brought them. 14 But when Jesus saw it, he was greatly displeased and said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God. 15 “Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it.” 16 And he took them up in his arms, put his hands on them, and blessed them. 17 Now as he was going out on the road, one came running, knelt before him, and asked him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?”

Bogati mladiø

Tada je Isus otiæao odande i doæao u judejski kraj, s onu stranu Jordana. Opet se mnogo naroda skupi k njemu i prema svojemu obiçaju, opet ih je uçio. 2 Pribliœe mu se farizeji i kuæajuøi ga upitali: “Je li dopuæteno muœu otpustiti œenu?” 3 On im odgovarajuøi rekao: “Æto vam je zapovjedio Mojsije?” 4 Oni reknu: “Mojsije je dopustio da joj se napiæe otpusni list i da se otpusti.” 5 A Isus im rekao: “Zbog tvrdoøe vaæega srca on vam je napisao tu zapovijed. 6 Ali od poçetka stvaranja ‘Bog ih je stvorio muæko i œensko.’ 7 ‘Zbog toga øe çovjek ostaviti svojega oca i majku i sjediniti se sa svojom œenom, 8 ‘i oboje øe biti jedno tijelo.’ Tako onda viæe nisu dva, nego jedno tijelo. 9 Dakle, æto je Bog sjedinio, neka çovjek ne rastavlja.” 10 U kuøi ga ponovno o tomu upitali njegovi uçenici. 11 On im rekao: “Tko god otpusti svoju œenu i oœeni se drugom, çini preljub prema njoj. 12 I ako œena otpusti muœa svojega i uda se za drugoga, çini preljub.” 13 Tada mu neki donesu malu djecu da ih se dotakne. A njegovi uçenici rijeçima su ih zaustavljali. 14 Kada je to vidio Isus, bude vrlo nezadovoljan te im rekao: “Pustite djecu neka dolaze k meni i ne branite im, jer od takvih je kraljevstvo Boœje. 15 Istinu vam govorim, tko god ne primi kraljevstva Boœjega kao malo dijete, taj sigurno neøe uøi u njega.” 16 Tada ih je stavljao na krilo, grlio, stavljao na njih ruke i blagoslivljao. 17 Dok je izlazio na put, pritrçao mu neki çovjek, pao pred njega na koljena i upitao ga: “Dobri Uçitelju, æto moram çiniti da baætinim œivot vjeçni?” 18 Isus mu rekao: “Zaæto me zoveæ dobrim? Nitko nije dobar, osim jednoga, a to je Bog.

Jericho with his disciples and a great multitude, blind 47 Kad je çuo da je to Isus Nazareøanin, poçeo Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the road beg- je vikati: “Isuse, Sine Davidov, smiluj mi se!” 48 Mnogi su ga rijeçima opominjali da æuti, ali ging. 47 And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, on je joæ jaçe vikao: “Sine Davidov, smiluj mi he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, Son of David, se!” 49 Isus se zaustavio i zapovjedio da ga pozohave mercy on me!” 48 Then many warned him to be quiet; but he cried vu. Tada zovnu slijepca i reknu mu: “Pouzdaj out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” se.

Then they called the blind man, saying to him, Isusu. 51 A Isus pitajuøi ga rekao je: “Æto hoøeæ da “Be of good cheer. Rise, he is calling you.” 50 And throwing aside his garment, he rose and uçinim za tebe?” Slijepac mu rekao: “Rabbuni, Uçitelju, uçini da progledam.” came to Jesus. 51 And Jesus answered and said to him, “What do 52 Tada mu Isus rekao: “Hajde, idi svojim puyou want me to do for you?” The blind man said to tom, tvoja te je vjera ozdravila.” I odmah je mogao vidjeti pa poæao putom za Isusom. him, “Rabboni, that I may receive my sight.” 52 Then Jesus said to him, “Go your way; your faith has made you well.” And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the road.

Now when they came near Jerusalem,to Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, he sent out two of his disciples; 2 and he said to them, “Go into the village opposite you; and as soon as you have entered it you will find a colt tied, on which no one has sat. Loose it and bring it. 3 And if anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord has need of it,’ and immediately he will send it here.” 4 So they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door outside on the street, and they loosed it. 5 And some of those who stood there said to them, “What are you doing, loosing the colt?” 6 So they spoke to them just as Jesus had commanded. And they let them go. 7 Then they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their garments on it, and he sat on it. 8 And many spread their garments on the road, and others cut down leafy branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9 Then those who went before and those who followed cried out, saying: “Hosanna! ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!’ 10 Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!” 11 And Jesus went into Jerusalem and into the temple. So when he had looked around at all things, as the hour was already late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve. 12 Now the next day, when they had come out from Bethany, he was hungry. 13 And seeing from afar a fig tree having leaves, he went to see if perhaps he would find something on it. And when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.

Slavni ulazak u Jeruzalem

Kad se pribliœe Jeruzalemu, k Betfagi i Betaniji na Maslinskoj gori, Isus poæalje dvojicu uçenika 2 i rekao im: “Idite u selo æto je pred vama. Çim uåete u njega, naøi øete privezano mlado magare na kojem joæ nitko nije sjedio. Odveœite ga i dovedite! 3 Ako vam tko reçe: ‘Zaæto to çinite?’ Kaœite: ‘Gospodinu treba,’ i on øe ga odmah poslati ovdje.” 4 Oni su otiæli i naæli magare privezano blizu vrata, vani na putu i odvezali ga. 5 A nekoliko prisutnih stojeøi tamo, reknu im: “Æto to çinite da odvezujete magare?” 6 Oni im odgovore kako im je Isus zapovjedio. I oni ih puste. 7 Dovedu magare Isusu i stave na njega svoje haljine, a Isus je sjeo na njega. 8 Mnogi su razastrli po putu svoje haljine, a drugi su rezali zelene lisnate grane sa stabala i prostirali ih po putu. 9 A oni koji su iæli pred njim i oni za njim klicali su, govoreøi: “Hosana! ‘Blagoslovljen je onaj koji dolazi u ime Gospodinovo!’ 10 Blagoslovljeno je kraljevstvo oca naæega Davida, koje dolazi u ime Gospodinovo! Hosana na visini!” 11 Isus je uæao u Jeruzalem i u hram. Pa kad je sve razgledao uokolo, a kako je veø bilo kasno, otiæao je s Dvanaestoricom u Betaniju. 12 Tako iduøi dan, kad su iziæli iz Betanije, On je ogladnio. 13 I poæto je izdaleka opazio smokvu s liæøem na njoj, poæao je On k njoj ne bi li æto naæao na njoj. Ali kad je doæao do nje, nije naæao niæta osim liæøa, jer joæ nije bilo vrijeme smokvama. 14 Odgovarajuøi joj, Isus je rekao: “Nitko viæe

And Jesus went into 15 Nato stignu u Jeruzalem.

Then as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, “Teacher, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!” 2 And Jesus answered and said to him, “Do you see these great buildings? Not one stone shall be left upon another, that shall not be thrown down.” 3 Now as he sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked him privately, 4 “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign when all these things will be fulfilled?” 5 And Jesus, answering them, began to say: “Take heed that no one deceives you. 6 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and will deceive many. 7 And when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be troubled; for such things must happen, but the end is not yet. 8 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.

Kad je izlazio iz hrama, rekao mu jedan od njegovih uçenika: “Uçitelju, gledaj! Kakva li kamenja, kakve li graåevine!” 2 Isus mu odgovarajuøi rekao: “Vidiæ li ove velike zgrade? Neøe tu ni jedan kamen ostati na kamenu, a da ne bude sruæen dolje.” 3 Dok je sjedio na Maslinskoj gori, okrenut prema hramu, Petar, Jakov, Ivan i Andrija upitali ga nasamo. 4 Kaœi nam kad øe to biti i kakav øe biti znak, kad øe se sve to ispuniti.” 5 Tada im Isus, odgovarajuøi poçne govoriti: “Pazite da vas tko ne zavede. 6 Mnogi øe doøi u moje ime govoreøi: ‘Ja sam on,’ i mnoge øe zavesti. 7 Kad çujete za ratove i glasove o ratovima, nemojte se uznemirivati.

After two days it was the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread. And the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by trickery and put him to death. 2 But they said, “Not during the feast, lest there be an uproar of the people.” 3 And being in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at the table, a woman came having an alabaster flask of very costly oil of spikenard. And she broke the flask and poured it on his head. 4 But there were some who were indignant among themselves, and said, “Why was this fragrant oil wasted? 5 For it might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor.” And they criticized her sharply. 6 But Jesus said, “Let her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work for me. 7 For you have the poor with you always, and whenever you wish you may do them good; but me you do not have always. 8 She has done what she could. She has come beforehand to anoint my body for burial. 9 Assuredly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached throughout the whole world, what this woman did will also be spoken of as a memorial to her.” 10 Then Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the chief priests to betray him to them. 11 So when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money. So he sought how he might conveniently betray him. 12 Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they killed the Passover lamb, his disciples said to him, “Where do you want us to go and prepare, that you may eat the Passover?” 13 So he sent out two of his disciples and said to them, “Go into the city, and a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him. 14 And wherever he goes in, say to the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says, “Where is the guest room in which I may eat the Passover with my disciples?” ’ 15 “Then he will show you a large upper room, furnished and prepared; there make ready for us.” 16 And his disciples went out, and came into the city, and found it just as he had said to them; and they prepared the Passover. 17 In the evening he came with the twelve. 18 Now as they sat and ate, Jesus said, “Assuredly, I say to you, one of you who eats with me will betray me.” 19 And they began to be sorrowful, and to say to him one by one, “Is it I?” And another said, “Is it I?” 20 Then he answered and said to them, “It is one of the twelve, who dips with me in the dish. 21 The Son of Man indeed goes just as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had never been born.” 22 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed it and broke it, and gave it to them and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.” 23 Then he took the cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, and they all drank from it. 24 And he said to them, “This is my blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many. 25 Assuredly, I say to you, I will no longer drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”

Isus pred Vijeøem. Petrova zataja Za dva dana bila je Pasha, svetkovina beskvasnih kruhova. Sveøeniçki glavari i pismoznanci traœili su kako bi Isusa uhvatili na prijevaru i ubili. 2 Govorili su: “Ne na svetkovinu, da se narod ne pobuni!” 3 Kad je bio u Betaniji i sjedio za stolom u kuøi Æimuna gubavca, doæla je neka œena s alabastrenom posudicom skupocjenog miomirisnog nardova ulja. Ona razbije posudicu i izlije mu ulje na glavu. 4 Tamo su bili neki koji su se zbog toga ljutili i jedan drugom govorili: “Zaæto se prosipa to miomirisno ulje? 5 Moglo se prodati za viæe od tri stotine denara i dati siromasima.” Jako su joj prigovarali. 6 A Isus im rekao: “Pustite ju, zaæto ju muçite? Ona mi je uçinila dobro djelo.” 7 Jer siromaæne øete uvijek imati sobom i moøi øete im dobro çiniti kad god hoøete; a mene neøete imati uvijek. 8 Ona je uçinila æto je mogla. Doæla je unaprijed pomazati moje tijelo za pokop. 9 Istinu vam govorim, gdje se god bude na cijelom svijetu propovijedala Radosna vijest, govorit øe se i ovo æto je ona uçinila, njoj na uspomenu.” 10 Tada je Juda Iskariotski, jedan od Dvanaestorice, otiæao glavarima sveøeniçkim da im ga izda. 11 Oni se obradovali kad su to çuli i obeøali mu novac. A on je traœio zgodnu priliku da ga izda. 12 Na prvi dan beskvasnih kruhova, kad se klalo pashalno janje, rekli su mu njegovi uçenici: “Gdje hoøeæ da ti pripravimo pashalnu veçeru?” 13 Tada je On poslao dvojicu svojih uçenika i rekao im: “Idite u grad i tu øe vas sresti çovjek noseøi pehar vode; idite za njim. 14 Pa gdje on uåe, recite gospodaru one kuøe: ‘Uçitelj kaœe: Gdje je gostinjska soba u kojoj bi mogao blagovati pashalnu veçeru sa svojim uçenicima?’ ” 15 On øe vam pokazati veliku gornju sobu prostrtu i pripremljenu. Tu nam pripravite.” 16 Njegovi uçenici izaæli te doæli u grad i naæli kako im je On rekao te pripravili pashalnu veçeru. 17 Uveçer, doæao je On s Dvanaestoricom. 18 Dok su sjedili za stolom i jeli, rekao je Isus: “Istinu vam govorim, jedan od vas koji jede sa Mnom izdat øe me.” 19 Oni se raœaloste, pa ga poçeli pitati, jedan za drugim: “Jesam li ja taj”? 20 Tada im On rekao: “To je jedan od Dvanaestorice, koji sa mnom umaçe u istu zdjelu!” 21 Sin Çovjeçji dakle odlazi, kako je napisano o njemu, ali teæko onomu çovjeku koji izda Sina Çovjeçjega! Bilo bi mu bolje da se nije nikad ni rodio.” 22 I dok su oni blagovali, uzeo je Isus kruh, blagoslovio ga i razlomio, dao im i rekao: “Uzmite i jedite; ovo je moje tijelo.” 23 Zatim je uzeo çaæu, pa kad je zahvalio, dao im je i oni su svi iz nje pili. 24 A On im rekao: “Ovo je moja krv novoga Saveza, koja se prolijeva za mnoge. 25 Istinu vam govorim, sigurno viæe neøu piti od trsova roda do onoga dana kad øu ga piti

And he laid him in a tomb zavio ga u platno i poloœio u grob koji je bio which had been hewn out of the rock, and rolled a izduben u peøini, pa na vrata groba dokotrljao kamen. stone against the door of the tomb. 47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of 47 Marija iz Magdale i Marija Josipova majka, pomno su gledale gdje su ga poloœili. Joses observed where he was laid.

Now when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, that they might come and anoint him. 2 Very early in the morning, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen. 3 And they said among themselves, “Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?” 4 But when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away–for it was very large. 5 And entering the tomb, they saw a young man clothed in a long white robe sitting on the right side; and they were alarmed. 6 But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. 7 But go and tell his disciples–and Peter–that he is going before you into Galilee; there you will see him, as he said to you.” 8 And they went out quickly and fled from the tomb, for they trembled and were amazed. And they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid. 9 Now when he rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven demons. 10 She went and told those who had been with him, as they mourned and wept. 11 And when they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, they did not believe. 12 After that, he appeared in another form to two of them as they walked and went into the country. 13 And they went and told it to the rest, but they did not believe them either. 14 Afterward he appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and he rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen him after he had risen. 15 And he said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved;

Uskrsnuøe

A kad proåe Subotnji dan, Marija Magdalena, Marija, majka Jakovljeva i Saloma, kupile su miomirisa da bi pomazale Isusa. 2 Vrlo rano u jutro prvoga dana u tjednu doæle su one na grob u vrijeme sunçeva izlaska. 3 A meåu sobom su govorile: “Tko øe nam otkotrljati kamen s vrata na grobu?” 4 Kad one pogledaju, vide da je kamen veø odmaknut. A bio je, uistinu, vrlo velik. 5 Ulazeøi u grob, one opaze mladiøa u bijeloj dugoj haljini gdje sjedi s desne strane; i prestraæe se. 6 A on im je rekao: “Ne bojte se. Vi traœite razapetog Isusa Nazareøanina. Nije ovdje. On je uskrsnuo! Evo gledajte mjesto gdje je bio poloœen. 7 Idite i recite njegovim uçenicima, posebno Petru, da On ide pred vama u Galileju; ondje øete ga vidjeti, kako vam je rekao.” 8 A one brzo iziåu, te pobjegnu od groba, jer ih je obuzeo veliki strah i trepet. I nikomu o tomu nisu rekli niæta, jer su se jako bojale. 9 Kada je Isus uskrsnuo rano u prvi dan tjedna, najprije se ukazao Mariji Magdaleni iz koje je istjerao sedam zlih duhova. 10 Ona je otiæla i javila to onima koji su bili s njim, a sada su bili u tuzi i suzama. 11 Oni, kad su çuli da je œiv i da ga je ona vidjela, nisu vjerovali. 12 Poslije toga ukazao se u drugom obliçju dvojici od njih na putu dok su iæli na selo. 13 Ovi su otiæli i javili ostalima, ali ni njima nisu vjerovali. 14 Nakon toga ukazao se Jedanaestorici dok su bili za stolom te ih prekorio zbog njihove nevjere i okorjelosti srca, jer nisu vjerovali onima koji su ga vidjeli poæto je uskrsnuo. 15 I rekao im: “Idite po svem svijetu i propovije-

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO LUKE

RADOSNA VIJEST PO LUKI

Inasmuch as many have taken in hand to set in order a narrative of those things which are most surely believed among us, 2 just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word delivered them to us, 3 it seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write to you an orderly account, most excellent Theophilus, 4 that you may know the certainty of those things in which you were instructed. 5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the division of Abijah. His wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. 6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. 7 But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both well advanced in years. 8 So it was, that while he was serving as priest before God in the order of his division, 9 according to the custom of the priesthood, his lot fell to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord. 10 And the whole multitude of the people was praying outside at the hour of incense. 11 Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right side of the altar of incense. 12 And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him. 13 But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zacharias, for your prayer is heard; and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John. 14 And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth. 15 For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink. He will also be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb. 16 And he will turn many of the sons of Israel to the Lord their God. 17 He will also go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, ‘to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,’ and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.” 18 And Zacharias said to the angel, “How shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is well advanced in years.” 19 And the angel answered and said to him, “I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God, and was

Navjeætenje roåenja Ivanova i Isusova

Kao æto su veø mnogi poduzeli sastaviti opis onih dogaåaja koji su se za sigurno dogodili meåu nama, 2 onako kako su nam ih dostavili i poredali oni koji su od poçetka bili oçevici i sluge Rijeçi, 3 tako i meni izgleda dobro, imajuøi vrlo dobro razumijevanje u svemu od samoga poçetka, da ti ih napiæem po redu, preuzviæeni Teofile, 4 da se moœeæ osvjedoçiti o pouzdanosti nauka u kojem si bio pouçen. 5 Bilo je to u vrijeme Heroda, kralja judejskoga, neki sveøenik imenom Zaharija, od reda Abijina. Imao je œenu od køeri Aronova roda, ime joj je bilo Elizabeta. 6 Oni su dvoje bili pravedni pred Bogom, jer su œivjeli besprijekorno po svima zapovijedima i odredbama Gospodinovim. 7 Ali nisu imali djeteta, jer je Elizabeta bila nerotkinja, a oboje su bili u poodmaklim godinama. 8 Jedanput, kad je on bio na redu da vræi sveøeniçku sluœbu pred Bogom, 9 prema sveøeniçkom obiçaju, zapadne ga kockom kaditi kad bude iæao u hram Gospodinov. 10 A çitavo mnoætvo naroda bilo je vani u molitvi za vrijeme kaåenja. 11 Tada mu se ukazao anåeo Gospodinov, stojeøi s desne strane kadionog œrtvenika. 12 Kad ga opazi Zaharija, prepadne se i spopadne ga strah. 13 Ali mu anåeo rekao: “Ne boj se, Zaharija, jer je usliæana tvoja molitva; tvoja øe ti œena Elizabeta roditi sina, kojemu øeæ nadjenuti ime Ivan. 14 Imat øeæ radost i veselje, i mnoge øe obradovati njegovo roåenje. 15 Jer øe biti velik u oçima Gospodinovim, neøe piti ni vina niti opojnih piøa. On øe biti ispunjen Duhom Svetim joæ u majçinoj utrobi. 16 I mnoge øe sinove Izraelove vratiti Gospodinu, njihovu Bogu. 17 On øe isto iøi pred njim s Ilijinim duhom i snagom, ‘da okrene srca otaca prema djeci,’ a nepokorne mudrosti pravednika i da pripravi narod spreman za Gospodina.” 18 A Zaharija je rekao anåelu: “Po çemu øu ja to spoznati? Ja sam star, a œena mi je u poodmaklim godinama.” 19 Anåeo mu rekao: “Ja sam Gabriel, koji stoji pred Bogom, i poslan sam s tobom govoriti i donijeti ovu radosnu vijest. 20 Ali evo, zanijemjet øeæ i neøeæ moøi govoriti

Then Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, 2 being tempted for forty days by the devil. And in those days he ate nothing, and afterward, when they had ended, he was hungry. 3 And the devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.” 4 But Jesus answered him, saying, “It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.’ ” 5 Then the devil, taking him up on a high mountain, showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. 6 And the devil said to him, “All this authority I will give you, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. 7 Therefore, if you will worship before me, all will be yours.” 8 And Jesus answered and said to him, “Get behind me, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only you shall serve.’ ” 9 Then he brought him to Jerusalem, set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here. 10 For it is written: ‘He shall give his angels charge over you, to keep you,’ 11 and, ‘In their hands they shall bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone.’ ” 12 And Jesus answered and said to him, “It has been said, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’ ” 13 Now when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from him until an opportune time. 14 Then Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and news of him went out through all the surrounding region. 15 And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all. 16 So he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. And as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read. 17 And he was handed the book of the prophet

Kuænja u pustinji. Isus u sinagogi u Nazaretu

Isus je bio tada pun Duha Svetoga, vratio se s Jordana i bi odveden od Duha u pustinju, 2 a bio je çetrdeset dana kuæan od åavla. Onih dana nije niæta jeo, te kad ono istekne, On ogladnje. 3 Åavao mu tada rekao: “Ako si Ti Sin Boœji, zapovjedi ovom kamenju da postane kruh.” 4 Rekao mu Isus: “Napisano je: ‘Ne œivi çovjek samo od kruha, nego od svake rijeçi Boœje.’ ” 5 Zatim ga åavao odvede na visoku goru i pokazao mu za tren oka sva kraljevstva svijeta 6 pa mu rekao: “Dat øu ti svu vlast nad njima, i njihovu slavu, jer je meni predana i dajem je komu god ja hoøu. 7 Dakle, sve ovo bit øe tvoje ako mi se pokloniæ.” 8 A Isus mu odgovorio: “Idi od mene, Sotono, jer je napisano: ‘Gospodinu, Bogu svojemu se klanjaj i njemu jedinomu sluœi.’ ” 9 A zatim ga odvede u Jeruzalem i postavi ga na vrh hrama te mu rekao: “Ako si ti Sin Boœji, baci se odavde dolje,” 10 Jer je napisano: ‘On øe zapovjediti svojim anåelima da te çuvaju,’ 11 i ‘nosit øe te na svojim rukama, da se gdje nogom ne spotakneæ o kamen.’ ” 12 A Isus mu odgovarajuøi rekao: “Reçeno je: ‘Ne iskuæavaj Gospodina Boga svojega.’ ” 13 Kad je åavao iscrpio sve kuænje, otiæao je od njega do druge prilike. 14 Tada se Isus vrati sa silom Duha u Galileju i glas se raznese o njemu po cijeloj tamoænjoj okolici. 15 Uçio je u njihovim sinagogama i svi su ga slavili. 16 Tako je On doæao u Nazaret, gdje je bio odrastao. I po svojem obiçaju uæao je u sinagogu na Subotnji dan i ustao çitati. 17 Oni mu pruœe knjigu proroka Izaije. Kad On otvori knjigu, namjeri se na mjesto gdje je bilo napisano: 18 Na meni je Duh Gospodinov, jer me je On

And the crowd sought him and came to him, and tried to keep him from leaving them; 43 but he said to them, “I must preach the kingdom of God to the other cities also, because for this purpose I have been sent.” 44 And he was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.

Now so it was, as the multitude pressed about him to hear the word of God, that he stood by the Lake of Gennesaret, 2 and saw two boats standing by the lake; but the fishermen had gone from them and were washing their nets. 3 Then he got into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the multitudes from the boat. 4 Now when he had stopped speaking, he said to Simon, “Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.” 5 But Simon answered and said to him, “Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at your word I will let down the net.” 6 And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish, and their net was breaking. 7 So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink. 8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!” 9 For he and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish which they had taken; 10 and so also were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid. From now on you will catch men.” 11 So when they had brought their boats to land, they forsook all and followed him. 12 And it happened when he was in a certain city, that behold, a man who was full of leprosy saw Jesus; and he fell on his face and implored him, saying, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.” 13 Then he put out his hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” And immediately the leprosy left him. 14 And he charged him to tell no one, “But go and show yourself to the priest, and make an offering for your cleansing, as a testimony to them, just as Moses commanded.” 15 Then the report went around concerning him all the more; and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities. 16 So he himself often withdrew into the wilderness and prayed. 17 Now it happened on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by, who had come out of every town of Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was present to heal them. 18 Then behold, men brought on a bed a man who was paralyzed. And they sought to bring him in and lay him before him. 19 And when they could not find how they might bring him in, because of the crowd, they went up on the housetop and let him down with his bed through the tiling into the midst before Jesus.

Obilan ribolov. Iscjeljenje gubavaca i uzetoga

5

Jedanput tako dok se narod gurao oko Isusa da çuje rijeç Boœju, On je stajao na obali Genezaretskog jezera 2 i vidio je dvije laåice gdje stoje na obali jezera; ribari su bili izaæli iz njih i prali svoje mreœe. 3 On je uæao u jednu laåicu, koja je pripadala Æimunu, i zatraœio ga da malo otisne od kopna. On je tada sjeo i poçeo uçiti narod iz laåice. 4 A kad je prestao govoriti, rekao je Æimunu: “Izvezi na puçinu i bacite mreœe svoje za ribolov.” 5 A Æimun mu je odgovorio: “Uçitelju, mi smo svu noø lovili i trudili se a niæta nismo uhvatili, ali na tvoju rijeç bacit øu mreœe.” 6 A kad to uçine, uhvate mnogo riba, toliko da su im se mreœe gotovo razdirale. 7 Uto dadu znak svojim sudrugovima u drugoj laåici da im doåu pomoøi. Ovi su doæli i napunili obje laåice tako da su gotovo tonule. 8 Kad je to vidio Æimun Petar, pao Isusu do koljena govoreøi: “Udalji se od mene, Gospodine, jer ja sam grjeænik!” 9 Jer on i svi oni koji su bili s njim skamenili se, zbog riba koje su ulovili. 10 Isto tako Jakov i Ivan, Zebedejevi sinovi, koji su bili Æimunovi sudruzi. Isus je rekao Æimunu: “Ne boj se! Od sad øeæ loviti ljude! 11 Oni izvuku laåice na kopno, ostave sve i poåu za njim. 12 Dok je On boravio u nekom gradu, gle, najedanput se pojavi çovjek sav gubav; i çim opazio Isusa, pao je niçice pa ga zamolio, govoreøi: “Gospodine, ako hoøeæ, moœeæ me oçistiti.” 13 Tada On pruœi svoju ruku, dotaçe ga se govoreøi: “Hoøu. Budi oçiæøen.” I odmah ga guba ostavi. 14 On mu naloœi da nikom ne govori: “Veø hajde, pokaœi se sveøeniku i prinesi œrtvu za svoje oçiæøenje, njima za svjedoçanstvo, kao æto je zapovjedio Mojsije” 15 A glas se o njemu sve viæe i viæe pronosio, a veliko je mnoætvo naroda dolazilo da ga çuje i da ih On izlijeçi od njihovih bolesti. 16 A on se çesto povlaçio u pustinju i molio. 17 Dogodi se jednog dana, za vrijeme dok je Isus pouçavao, ondje su sjedili i farizeji i uçitelji Zakona koji su doæli iz svih galilejskih i judejskih sela i iz Jeruzalema. A sila Gospodinova bila je prisutna da ih ozdravlja. 18 I gle, ljudi donesu na postelji çovjeka koji je bio uzet. Oni su pokuæavali da ga unesu unutra i stave pred Isusa. 19 A kako zbog velikog mnoætva naroda nisu pronaæli kamo bi ga mogli unijeti, popeli se na krov te ga kroz crepove spustili s posteljom meåu prisutne i ispred Isusa. 20 A On, videøi njihovu vjeru, rekao mu: “Çovjeçe, oproæteni su ti grijesi tvoji.” 21 Nato pismoznanci i farizeji poçeli pomiæljati u sebi govoreøi: “Tko je ovaj æto huli na Boga?

And there were a great number of tax collec- ma?” 31 A Isus im rekao: “Ne treba lijeçnik onima koji tors and others who sat down with them. 30 But their scribes and the Pharisees murmured su zdravi, nego onima koji su bolesni. against his disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and 32 Ja nisam doæao zvati na pokajanje pravednike, nego grjeænike.” drink with tax collectors and sinners?” 31 And Jesus answered and said to them, “Those 33 Oni mu tada reknu: ”Zaæto Ivanovi uçenici who are well do not need a physician, but those who çesto poste i mole, isto tako i farizejski, a tvoji jedu i piju?” are sick. 32 I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, 34 A On im rekao: “Zar moœete natjerati svatove da poste dok je joæ zaruçnik meåu njima? to repentance.” 33 Then they said to him, “Why do the disciples of 35 Ali doøi øe vrijeme kad øe im uzeti i odvesti John fast often and make prayers, and likewise zaruçnika; onda øe oni u one dane postiti.” 36 On im je isto tako govorio prispodobu: “Nitko those of the Pharisees, but yours eat and drink?” 34 And he said to them, “Can you make the friends of ne stavlja komad zakrpe od nove haljine da zathe bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with krpa staru haljinu, jer novu haljinu raspara, a staroj haljini ne pristaje zakrpa od nove. them? 35 But the days will come when the bridegroom will 37 I nitko ne stavlja novo vino u stare mjeæine; be taken away from them; then they will fast in those jer novo vino rasprsne mjeæine te se prolije, a mjeæine propadnu. days.” 36 Then he spoke a parable to them: “No one puts a 38 Nego, novo vino mora se staviti u nove piece from a new garment on an old one; otherwise mjeæine, i tako se oboje saçuva. the new makes a tear, and also the piece that was 39 I nitko, poæto je pio staro vino, neøe odmah novoga, jer reçe: ‘Staro je bolje.’ ” taken out of the new does not match the old. 37 And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine will burst the wineskins and be spilled, and the wineskins will be ruined. 38 But new wine must be put into new wineskins, and both are preserved. 39 And no one, having drunk old wine, immediately desires new; for he says, ‘The old is better.’ ”

Now it happened on the second Sabbath after the first that he went through the grainfields. And his disciples plucked the heads of grain and ate them, rubbing them in their hands. 2 And some of the Pharisees said to them, “Why are you doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath?” 3 But Jesus answering them said, “Have you not even read this, what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him; 4 how he went into the house of God, took and ate the showbread, and also gave some to those who were with him, which is not lawful for any but the priests to eat?” 5 And he said to them, “The Son of Man is also Lord of the Sabbath.” 6 Now it happened on another Sabbath, also, that he

Sin Çovjeçji gospodar Subotnjega dana

Tako se dogodi drugoga Subotnjega dana poslije prvoga da je Isus iæao poljem kroz œito. Njegovi su uçenici trgali klasje, trli ga rukama i jeli. 2 Tada im neki farizeji reknu: “Zaæto çinite ono æto nije zakonom dopuæteno çiniti na Subotnji dan?” 3 Isus im odgovarajuøi rekao: “Zar niste çitali ni to æto je uçinio David kad je bio gladan, on i oni koji su bili s njim; 4 kako je uæao u kuøu Boœju uzeo i jeo postavljene kruhove, pa ih dao onima koji su bili s njim, koje nije zakonom dopuæteno jesti nikom osim sveøenicima?” 5 I On im rekao: “Sin je Çovjeçji gospodar i od Subotnjega dana.”

Now when he concluded all his sayings in the hearing of the people, he entered Capernaum. 2 And a certain centurion’s servant, who was dear to him, was sick and ready to die. 3 So when he heard about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to him, pleading with him to come and heal his servant. 4 And when they came to Jesus, they begged him earnestly, saying that the one for whom he should do this was worthy, 5 for he loves our nation, and has built us a synagogue.” 6 Then Jesus went with them. And when he was already not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, “Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof. 7 Therefore I did not even think myself worthy to come to you.

Ozdravljenje stotnikova sluge

Poæto je dovræio narodu sve te rijeçi, uæao je u Kafarnaum, 2 Neki stotnik imao je bolesnog slugu, koji mu je bio vrlo drag i leœao je na umoru. 3 Kada je çuo gdje se govorilo o Isusu, posla mu neke œidovske starjeæine da ga zamole da mu doåe ozdraviti slugu. 4 Kad oni stignu k Isusu, poçeli su ga usrdno moliti, govoreøi da taj za kojega bi On to uçinio to i zasluœuje, 5 jer on voli naæ narod. I sinagogu nam je sagradio.” 6 Tada Isus poåe s njima. A kad viæe nije bio daleko do kuøe, stotnik mu posla neke prijatelje da mu reknu: “Gospodine, ne muçi se dalje, jer ja nisam dostojan da uåeæ pod krov moj, 7 Zato dakle nisam se smatrao dostojnim da pristupim k tebi, nego samo reci rijeç i ozdravit øe sluga moj!

Now it happened, afterward, that he went through every city and village, preaching and bringing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with him, 2 and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities–Mary called Magdalene, out of whom had come seven demons, 3 and Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others who provided for him from their substance. 4 And when a great multitude had gathered, and others had come to him from every city, he spoke by a parable: 5 “A sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell by the wayside; and it was tram-

And he commanded that she be given something to eat. 56 And her parents were astonished, but he charged them to tell no one what had happened.

Then he called his twelve disciples to gether and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases. 2 He sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. 3 And he said to them, “Take nothing for the journey, neither staffs nor bag nor bread nor money; and do not have two tunics apiece. 4 Whatever house you enter, stay there, and from there depart. 5 And whoever will not receive you, when you go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet as a testimony against them.” 6 So they departed and went through the towns, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere. 7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him; and he was perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead, 8 and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again. 9 And Herod said, “John I have beheaded, but who is this of whom I hear such things?” And he sought to see him. 10 And the apostles, when they had returned, told him all that they had done. And he took them and went aside privately into a deserted place belonging to the city called Bethsaida. 11 But when the multitudes knew it, they followed him; and he received them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who had need of healing. 12 When the day began to wear away, the twelve came and said to him, “Send the multitude away, that they may go into the surrounding towns and country, and lodge and get provisions; for we are in a deserted place here.” 13 But he said to them, “You give them something to eat.” And they said, “We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless we go and buy food for all these people.” 14 For there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, “Make them sit down in groups of fifty.” 15 And they did so, and made them all sit down. 16 Then he took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude. 17 So they all ate and were filled, and twelve baskets of the leftover fragments were taken up by them. 18 And it happened, as he was alone praying, that his disciples joined him, and he asked them, saying, “Who do the crowds say that I am?” 19 So they answered and said, “John the Baptist, but some say Elijah; and others say that one of the old prophets has risen again.”

Isus hrani pet tisuøa ljudi

Jedanput je pozvao k sebi Dvanaestoricu i dao im moø i vlast nad svim zlim duhovima i da ozdravljaju bolesne. 2 Zatim ih posla da navjeæøuju kraljevstvo Boœje i da ozdravljaju bolesnike, 3 I rekao im: “Niæta ne uzimajte na put: ni ætapa, ni torbe, ni kruha, ni novca! Niti imajte po dvije haljine. 4 U koju god kuøu uåete, ostanite tu dok ne ostavite to mjesto! 5 A tko vas god neøe primiti, kad iziåete iz njihovog grada, otresite prah sa svojih nogu za svjedoçanstvo protiv njih!” 6 Tako oni poåu po selima navjeæøujuøi Radosnu vijest i svuda ozdravljujuøi bolesnike. 7 Kada je Herod tetrarh doçuo za sve ove dogaåaje, vrlo se uznemirio, jer su neki govorili da je Ivan uskrsnuo od mrtvih; 8 A neki drugi da se pojavio Ilija; a treøi da je opet ustao jedan od starih proroka. 9 Herod je rekao: “Ivanu sam ja odrubio glavu. Pa tko bi bio taj o komu çujem takve stvari?” I nastojao je da ga vidi. 10 Na povratku opet apostoli ispripovijedaju Isusu sve æto su uçinili. Tada ih je poveo sobom te otiæao na samotno mjesto u okolicu grada zvanog Betsaida. 11 Ali kad je to doznao narod, poæao je za njim. On ih primio te im je govorio o kraljevstvu Boœjem i ozdravljao sve koji su trebali ozdravljenja. 12 Kada je dan poçeo odmicati, pristupili mu Dvanaestorica te mu rekli: “Otpusti mnoætvo, da moœe iøi u okolna sela i zaseoke da naåe prenoøiæte i hranu, jer mi smo ovdje u pustoæi!” 13 On im je rekao: “Dajte im vi neæto za jelo!” Oni su mu odgovorili: “Mi imamo samo pet kruhova i dvije ribe. Osim, moœda, da mi sami odemo i kupimo hranu za sav ovaj narod!” 14 Bilo je, naime, kojih pet tisuøa ljudi. Tada je rekao uçenicima: “Posjedajte ih u skupine po pedeset!” 15 Tako oni uçine i sve ih posjedaju. 16 On je tada uzeo pet kruhova i dvije ribe, gledajuøi u nebo, te ih blagoslovio i razlomio. Zatim ih je davao uçenicima da ih podijele mnoætvu. 17 Tako su svi jeli i nasitili se i nakupili punih dvanaest koæara preostalih komadiøa. 18 Dogodi se, dok je jedanput sam molio, pridruœe mu se njegovi uçenici, a On ih upita: “Æto ljudi misle tko sam Ja?” 19 Oni su mu odgovorili: “Jedni govore Ivan Krstitelj, drugi Ilija, treøi opet jedan od starih proroka koji je uskrsnuo.” 20 A æto vi mislite tko sam Ja?” Upita ih nato.

After these things the Lord appointed seventy others also, and sent them two by two before his face into every city and place where he himself was about to go. 2 Then he said to them, “The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest. 3 Go your way; behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves. 4 Carry neither money bag, sack, nor sandals; and greet no one along the road. 5 But whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’ 6 And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on it; if not, it will return to you. 7 And remain in the same house, eating and drinking such things as they give, for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not go from house to house. 8 Whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you. 9 And heal the sick who are there, and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’ 10 But whatever city you enter, and they do not re-

Poslije toga Gospodin je izabrao drugu sedamdesetoricu te ih poslao po dvojicu pred sobom u svaki grad i mjesto kamo je sam kanio iøi. 2 Tada im je rekao: “Œetva je zaista velika, a radnika je malo.

And it happened, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, that one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.” 2 So he said to them, “When you pray, say: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. 3 Give us day by day our daily bread. 4 And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.” 5 And he said to them, “Which of you shall have a friend, and go to him at midnight and say to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves; 6 ‘for a friend of mine has come to me on his journey, and I have nothing to set before him’; 7 and he will answer from within and say, ‘Do not trouble me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give to you’? 8 I say to you, though he will not rise and give to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence he will rise and give him as many as he needs. 9 And I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. 11 If a son asks for bread from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish? 12 Or if he asks for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” 14 And he was casting out a demon, and it was mute. So it was, when the demon had gone out, that the mute spoke; and the multitudes marveled. 15 But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the ruler of the demons.” 16 And others, testing him, sought from him a sign from heaven. 17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and a house divided against a house

Molitva Gospodinova “Oçenaæ”. Znak Jonin

11

U neko vrijeme dok je molio na nekom mjestu, pa kad je prestao, rekao mu jedan od njegovih uçenika: “Gospodine, nauçi nas moliti, kao æto je i Ivan nauçio svoje uçenike!” 2 On im rekao: “Kad molite, govorite: Oçe naæ koji jesi na nebesima, sveti se ime tvoje. Doåi kraljevstvo tvoje. Budi volja tvoja kako na nebu tako i na zemlji. 3 Kruh naæ svagdanji daj nam danas. 4 Oprosti nam grijehe naæe, kako i mi opraætamo duœnicima naæim. I ne uvedi nas u napast, nego izbavi nas od zloga.” 5 Potom je On nastavio i rekao: “Tko bi od vas imao prijatelja te otiæao k njemu u pola noøi i rekao mu: ‘Prijatelju, posudi mi tri kruha, 6 ‘jer mi je doæao prijatelj s puta, a nemam æto staviti pred njega!’ 7 A onaj iznutra odgovori: ‘Ne dosaåuj mi, vrata su veø zatvorena, a mala djeca su sa mnom u postelji, ne mogu ustati da ti dadem!’ 8 Kaœem vam, ako i ne bi ustao da mu dade zato æto mu je prijatelj, ustao bi sigurno zbog prilike i njegova dosaåivanja i dao bi mu sve æto treba. 9 A ja vam kaœem: molite, i dat øe vam se! Traœite, i naøi øete! Kucajte, i otvorit øe vam se! 10 Jer svaki onaj koji moli, prima; tko traœi, nalazi, a onomu tko kuca bit øe otvoreno. 11 A tko bi od vas koji je otac, ako bi ga sin zamolio kruha, pruœio mu kamen? Ili ako bi ga zamolio ribu, pruœio mu mjesto ribe zmiju? 12 Ili ako bi ga zamolio jaje, pruœio mu skorpiona? 13 Dakle; ako vi, premda ste zli, znate davati svojoj djeci dobre darove, koliko øe viæe Otac nebeski dati Duha Svetoga onima koji ga mole!” 14 Jedanput je istjerao zloduha koji je bio nijem. Kad je zloduh iziæao, nijemi je progovorio, a mnoætvo se naroda poçelo diviti. 15 A neki od njih su rekli: “On izgoni zle duhove uz pomoø Belzebula, poglavice zlih duhova.” 16 Drugi, opet, od njega zatraœe znak s neba da ga kuæaju. 17 A on, znajuøi njihove misli, rekao im: “Svako

In the meantime, when an innumerable multitude of people had gathered together, so that they trampled one another, he began to say to his disciples first of all, “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. 2 For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, nor hidden that will not be known. 3 Therefore whatever you have spoken in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have spoken in the ear in inner rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops. 4 And I say to you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. 5 But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after he has killed, has power to cast into hell; yes, I say to you, fear him! 6 Are not five sparrows sold for two copper coins? And not one of them is forgotten before God. 7 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows. 8 Also I say to you, whoever confesses me before men, him the Son of Man also will confess before the angels of God. 9 But he who denies me before men will be denied before the angels of God. 10 And anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but to him who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven. 11 Now when they bring you to the synagogues and magistrates and authorities, do not worry about how or what you should answer, or what you should say. 12 For the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour

U meåuvremenu kad se skupilo nebrojeno mnoætvo naroda, tako da su jedni drugima gazili noge, Isus je poçeo govoriti najprije svojim uçenicima: “Çuvajte se farizejskog kvasca, to jest licemjerja! 2 Nema niæta skriveno æto se neøe otkriti; niti iæta tajno æto se neøe doznati! 3 Zato øe se sve ono æto u tami rekoste çuti na svjetlosti; sve ono æto u sobama æaputate, pripovijedat øe se na krovovima. 4 Kaœem vama, svojim prijateljima; ne bojte se onih koji ubijaju tijelo, a poslije toga ne mogu viæe niæta uçiniti! 5 Pokazat øu vam koga se treba bojati; bojte se onoga koji, poæto oduzme œivot, ima vlast baciti u pakao! Da, kaœem vam, njega se bojte! 6 Zar se ne prodaje pet vrabaca za dva novçiøa? Ipak, ni jednoga od njih ne zaboravlja Bog. 7 A vama su izbrojene i vlasi na glavi! Ne budite bojaœljivi! Vi viæe vrijedite od mnoætva vrabaca. 8 Kaœem vam, tko god mene prizna pred ljudima, i njega øe Sin Çovjeçji priznati pred anåelima Boœjim. 9 A onaj tko mene zanijeka pred ljudima, njega øe se zanijekati pred anåelima Boœjim. 10 Tko god rekne rijeç protiv Sina Çovjeçjega, oprostiti øe mu se. Ali onomu tko pohuli na Duha Svetoga, neøe se oprostiti. 11 Kada vas povedu u sinagoge, pred poglavare, oblasti i druge vlasti, ne brinite kako i çime øete se braniti i æto øete govoriti, 12 Jer øe vas u taj ças Duh Sveti pouçiti æto

Then all the tax collectors and the sinners drew near to him to hear him. 2 And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, “This man receives sinners and eats with them.” 3 So he spoke this parable to them, saying: 4 “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost until he finds it? 5 And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 6 And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!’ 7 I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance. 8 Or what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and seek diligently until she finds it? 9 And when she has found it, she calls her friends and neighbors together, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the piece which I lost!’ 10 Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence

Svi su se carinici i grjeænici pribliœavali k Isusu da ga çuju. 2 A farizeji i pismoznanci mrmljali su, govoreøi: “Ovaj çovjek prima grjeænike i jede s njima.” 3 On im rekao ovu prispodobu, govoreøi: 4 Tko od vas, imajuøi stotinu ovaca pa izgubivæi jednu, ne ostavi u pustinji devedeset i devet i ne ide za izgubljenom sve dok je ne naåe? 5 A kad je naåe, stavi je, pun veselja, na svoja ramena. 6 A kad doåe kuøi, pozove prijatelje i susjede govoreøi im: ‘Radujte se sa mnom, jer ja sam naæao moju izgubljenu ovcu!’ 7 ”Kaœem vam, tako øe biti veøe veselje na nebu zbog jednog grjeænika koji se obrati nego zbog devedeset i devet pravednika kojima ne treba pokajanja.” 8 Ili, koja œena, ako ima deset srebrnjaka pa izgubi jedan, ne upali svjetiljku, ne pomete kuøu i ne traœi pomno dok ga ne naåe? 9 A kad ga naåe, pozove prijateljice i susjede pa im reçe: radujte se sa mnom, jer sam naæla srebrnjak koji sam izgubila!

And he also said to his disciples: “There was a certain rich man who had a steward, and an accusation was brought to him that this man was wasting his goods. 2 “So he called him and said to him, ‘What is this I hear about you? Give an account of your stewardship, for you can no longer be steward.’ 3 Then the steward said within himself, ‘What shall I do? For my master is taking the stewardship away

Nevjerni upravitelj

Zatim On isto tako reçe svojim uçenicima: “Bio neki bogat çovjek koji je imao upravitelja. Ovaj je bio optuœen kod njega da rasipa njegovo imanje. 2 Pa ga on dozove i reçe mu: ‘Æto to çujem o tebi?

Then he said to the disciples, “It is im possible that no offenses should come, but woe to him through whom they do come! 2 It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones. 3 Take heed to yourselves. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. 4 And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day returns to you, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive him.” 5 And the apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.” 6 So the Lord said, “If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you. 7 And which of you, having a servant plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he has come in from the field, ‘Come at once and sit down to eat’? 8 But will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare something for my supper, and gird yourself and serve me till I have eaten and drunk, and afterward you will eat and drink’? 9 Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I think not. 10 So likewise you, when you have done all those things which you are commanded, say, ‘We are unprofitable servants. We have done what was our duty to do.’ ” 11 Now it happened as he went to Jerusalem that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. 12 Then as he entered a certain village, there met him ten men who were lepers, who stood afar off. 13 And they lifted up their voices and said, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” 14 So when he saw them, he said to them, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And so it was that as they went, they were cleansed. 15 Now one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, and with a loud voice glorified God, 16 and fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks. And he was a Samaritan. 17 So Jesus answered and said, “Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine? 18 Were there not any found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?” 19 And he said to him, “Arise, go your way. Your faith has made you well.” 20 Now when he was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation; 21 nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.” 22 Then he said to the disciples, “The days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it. 23 And they will say to you, ‘Look here!’ or ‘Look

Sablazni ili uvrede. Iscjeljenje deset gubavaca

17

Tada je Isus rekao svojim uçenici ma: “Nije moguøe a da ne doåu sablazni i uvrede, ali teæko onomu po komu dolaze! 2 Bolje bi mu bilo da mlinskim kamenom objeæenim o vrat bude baçen u more, nego da navede na grijeh jednoga od ovih malenih. 3 Pazite na sebe! Ako tvoj brat sagrijeæi protiv tebe, ukori ga pa ako se pokaje oprosti mu. 4 Ako i sedam puta na dan sagrijeæi protiv tebe i sedam ti se puta obrati i reçe: ‘Kajem se,’ oprosti mu!” 5 Apostoli zamole Gospodina: “Daj nam viæe vjere!” 6 A Gospodin im je rekao: “Ako imate vjeru koliko je goruæiçino zrno, rekli biste ovom dudovom drvetu: ‘Iæçupaj se s korijenom i presadi se u more!’ I posluæao bi vas. 7 Tko øe od vas tko ima slugu, koji ore ili çuva i hrani stoku, kad se vrati iz polja reøi: ‘Doåi odmah i sjedni za stol pa jedi!’ 8 Neøe li mu on radije reøi: ‘Pripremi veçeru da ja jedem, a ti se pripaæi da mi sluœiæ dok se ja ne najedem i ne napijem, a poslije øeæ ti jesti i piti!’ 9 Zar duguje on zahvalnost sluzi æto je izvræio zapovijed? Ja mislim ne. 10 Tako i vi, kad izvræite sve ono æto vam je nareåeno, recite: ‘Beskorisne smo sluge. Uçinili smo samo ono æto nam je bila duœnost.’ ” 11 Dogodi se za vrijeme dok je On putovao u Jeruzalem, prolazio je granicom Samarije i Galileje. 12 Kako je ulazio u neko selo, iziælo mu u susret deset gubavaca; stajali su podaleko 13 te podignu glas govoreøi: “Isuse, Uçitelju, smiluj nam se!” 14 Kada ih je opazio, rekao im: “Idite i pokaœite se sveøenicima!” I tako se dogodilo da su se oni oçistili dok su odlazili. 15 Tada jedan od njih, çim je opazio da je ozdravio, vrati se natrag slaveøi Boga u sav glas. 16 Pao je niçice do njegovih nogu i poçeo mu zahvaljivati. Taj je bio Samarijanac. 17 Isus ga upita: “Zar se nisu oçistila desetorica? Gdje su joæ devetorica? 18 Ni jedan se ne naåe da se vrati i Bogu zahvali, osim ovoga doæljaka!” 19 I rekao mu: “Ustani i idi, tvoja ti je vjera dobro uçinila!” 20 A kad ga farizeji upitali: Kada øe doøi kraljevstvo Boœje? On im je odgovorio: “Kraljevstvo Boœje ne dolazi tako da se to moœe vidjeti; 21 Niti øe moøi reøi: ‘Evo ga ovdje’ ili ‘Eno ga ondje.’ Jer zaista, kraljevstvo je Boœje u vama.” 22 Tada je On rekao uçenicima: “Doøi øe vrijeme kad øete çeznuti da vidite samo jedan dan od dana Sina Çovjeçjega, ali ga neøete vidjeti. 23 I govorit øe vam: ‘Eno ga ondje’ ili ‘Evo ga

Then he spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose

heart, 2 saying: “There was in a certain city a judge who did not fear God nor regard man. 3 Now there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, ‘Avenge me of my adversary.’ 4 And he would not for a while; but afterward he said within himself, ‘Though I do not fear God nor regard man, 5 ‘yet because this widow troubles me I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.’ ” 6 Then the Lord said, “Hear what the unjust judge said. 7 And shall God not avenge his own elect who cry out day and night to him, though he bears long with them? 8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he really find faith on the earth?” 9 Also he spoke this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: 10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men–extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector. 12 ‘I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I possess.’ 13 And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God be merciful to me a sinner!’ 14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justi-

Isus po treøi put proriçe svoju muku

Iznese im zatim prispodobu o tomu kako uvijek treba moliti i nikada ne klonuti, 2 govoreøi: “Bio u nekom gradu sudac koji se nije bojao Boga niti je mario za ljude. 3 A bila je u onomu gradu i udovica koja bi dolazila k njemu i molila ga: ‘Brani me od mojega protivnika.’ 4 Onaj to zadugo nije htio. Ali nakon toga reçe u sebi: Ako se Boga i ne bojim a do ljudi ne drœim, 5 ‘ipak øu, jer mi ova udovica dodijava, obraniti je, da me neprestano ne dolazi muçiti.’ ” 6 Gospodin nastavi: “Çujte æto govori nepravedni sudac! 7 Neøe li Bog zbilja obraniti svoje izabranike koji dan i noø vapiju prema njemu iako On podnosi s njima? 8 Kaœem vam, brzo øe izvesti njihovu pravdu. Ali hoøe li Sin Çovjeçji, kad doåe, zbilja naøi vjeru na zemlji?” 9 Rekao je joæ ovu prispodobu na raçun nekih koji su bili uvjereni u vlastitu pravednost, a druge prezirali; 10 Dva çovjeka uåu u hram da mole: jedan farizej, a drugi carinik. 11 Farizej stane te poçne ovako moliti u sebi: ‘Boœe, zahvaljujem ti æto nisam kao ostali ljudi: razbojnici, nepravednici, preljubnici ili kao i ovaj ovdje carinik. 12 Postim dvaput u tjednu i dajem desetinu od svega æto steçem.’ 13 A carinik, ostajuøi daleko, ne usudi se ni oçiju podignuti prema nebu, veø se udarao u prsa i molio: ‘Boœe, smiluj se meni grjeæniku!’ 14 Kaœem vam, ovaj se vrati opravdan svojoj

Kad su to vidjeli uçenici, poçeli su might touch them; but when his disciples saw it, they ih rijeçima zaustavljati. 16 Isus je dozvao k sebi djeçicu te rekao: rebuked them. 16 But Jesus called them to him and said, “Let the “Pustite djeçicu da doåu k meni; nemojte im prilittle children come to me, and do not forbid them; for jeçiti, jer takvima pripada kraljevstvo Boœje! 17 Istinu vam govorim, tko ne primi kraljevstvo of such is the kingdom of God. 17 Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive Boœje kao malo dijete, taj sigurno neøe uøi u the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means njega.” 18 Jedanput ga je neki œidovski vjerski voåa enter it.” 18 Now a certain ruler asked him, saying, “Good upitao: “Dobri Uçitelju, æto moram çiniti da baætinim œivot vjeçni?” Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” 19 So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? 19 Isus mu rekao: “Zaæto me zoveæ dobrim? Nitko nije dobar osim jednog, a to je Bog. No one is good but One, that is, God. 20 You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit 20 Ti poznajeæ zapovijedi: ‘Ne çini preljuba!’ adultery,’ ‘Do not murder,’ ‘Do not steal,’ ‘Do not bear ‘Ne ubij!’ ‘Ne ukradi!’ ‘Ne svjedoçi laœno!’ ‘Poæfalse witness,’ ‘Honor your father and your mother.’ tuj svojega oca i svoju majku!’ ” 21 On odvrati: “To sam sve drœao od svoje mla” 21 And he said, “All these I have kept from my youth.” dosti.” 22 So when Jesus heard these things, he said to him, 22 A kad je to çuo Isus, rekao mu: “Joæ ti jedno “You still lack one thing.

Then Jesus entered and passed through Jericho. 2 Now behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus who was a chief tax collector, and he was rich. 3 And he sought to see who Jesus was, but could not because of the crowd, for he was of short stature. 4 So he ran ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was going to pass that way. 5 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up and saw him, and said to him, “Zacchaeus, make haste and come down, for today I must stay at your house.” 6 So he made haste and came down, and received him joyfully. 7 But when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, “He has gone to be a guest with a man who is a sinner.” 8 Then Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, I give half of my goods to the poor; and if I have taken anything from anyone by false accusation, I restore fourfold.” 9 And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham; 10 for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.” 11 Now as they heard these things, he spoke another parable, because he was near Jerusalem and because they thought the kingdom of God would appear immediately. 12 Therefore he said: “A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return. 13 So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, ‘Do business till I come.’ 14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We will not have this man to reign over us.’ 15 And so it was that when he returned, having received the kingdom, he then commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading. 16 Then came the first, saying, ‘Master, your mina has earned ten minas.’ 17 And he said to him, ‘Well done, good servant; because you were faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities.’ 18 And the second came, saying, ‘Master, your mina has earned five minas.’ 19 Likewise he said to him, ‘You also be over five cities.’ 20 And another came, saying, ‘Master, here is your mina, which I have kept put away in a handkerchief. 21 ‘For I feared you, because you are an austere man. You collect what you did not deposit, and reap what you did not sow.’ 22 And he said to him, ‘Out of your own mouth I will judge you, you wicked servant. You knew that I was an austere man, collecting what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow. 23 ‘Why then did you not put my money in the bank, that at my coming I might have collected it with interest?’ 24 And he said to those who stood by, ‘Take the mina from him, and give it to him who has ten minas.’ 25 ( But they said to him, ‘Master, he has ten minas.’) 26 ‘For I say to you, that to everyone who has will be

Tada je Isus uæao u Jerihon i proæao kroz grad. 2 A evo pojavi se çovjek imenom Zakej, koji je bio carinski starjeæina i bogat çovjek. 3 On je nastojao da vidi tko je Isus. Ali nije mogao od mnoætva naroda, jer je bio maloga rasta. 4 Zato je on potrçao naprijed i popeo se na stablo da ga vidi, jer je tim putom morao proøi. 5 Kada je sus doæao na to mjesto, pogledao gore, opazio ga te mu rekao: “Zakeju, siåi brzo, jer treba da se danas zadrœim u tvojoj kuøi.” 6 On je brzo siæao te ga s veseljem primio u goste. 7 Oni koji su to vidjeli poçeli su mrmljati govoreøi: “Svratio se u kuøu jednog grjeænika!” 8 Zakej je ustao te rekao Gospodinu: “Evo, polovicu mojega imanja, Gospodine, dat øu siromasima. Ako sam sluçajno koga u çemu prevario, vratit øu mu çetverostruko. 9 Isus mu ekao: “Danas je doælo spasenje ovoj kuøi, jer je i on Abrahamov sin. 10 Da, Sin Çovjeçji je doæao da traœi i spasi ono æto je izgubljeno.” 11 Dok su to sluæali, ispripovjedio On joæ jednu prispodobu, zato æto su drœali da øe odmah doøi kraljevstvo Boœje jer je Isus bio blizu Jeruzalema. 12 Stoga je On rekao: “Neki çovjek ugledna roda ode u daleku zemlju da primi kraljevsko dostojanstvo, pa da se onda vrati. 13 I on pozva deset svojih slugu i dade im deset mina (grçki novac) i rekao im: ‘Trgujte s time dok se ne vratim.’ 14 Njegovi su ga sugraåani mrzili te su za njim poslali poslanike da izjave: ‘Neøemo da ovaj zavlada nad nama.’ 15 I tako bude da kad se je on vratio, poæto je primio kraljevstvo, zapovjedi da mu dozovu one sluge kojima je dao novac, da vidi koliko je koji od njih stekao trgujuøi. 16 Prvi pristupi te reçe: ‘Gospodaru, tvoja mina donese deset mina.’ 17 On mu odgovori: ‘Dobro si uçinio, valjani slugo, jer poæto si se u vrlo malom pokazao vjeran, imaj vlast nad deset gradova.’ 18 Doåe drugi te reçe: ‘Gospodaru, tvoja mina donese pet mina.’ 19 On i ovom reçe isto: ‘I ti budi isto nad pet gradova.’ 20 Doåe tako i treøi govoreøi: ‘Gospodaru, evo tvoje mine, zavezao sam je i çuvao u rupcu. 21 Jer ja sam se bojao tebe, buduøi da si strog çovjek: i ti uzimaæ æto nisi uloœio i œanjeæ æto nisi sijao.’ 22 A on mu odgovori: ‘Sudit øu ti ja, nevaljani slugo, po tvojim vlastitim rijeçima. Znao si da sam strog çovjek, da uzimam æto nisam uloœio i œanjem æto nisam sijao. 23 Zaæto onda nisi dao moj novac u novçarnicu? Tako bi ga na povratku uzeo s kamatama!’ 24 Nato reçe onima koji su stajali pred njim: Oduzmite mu minu i dajte onomu koji ima deset mina!’ 25 Oni mu reknu: ‘Gospodaru, on veø ima de-

And they threw njegovi vlasnici: “Zaæto odvezujete magarçe?” their own garments on the colt, and they set Jesus 34 Oni odgovore: “Gospodinu treba.” 35 Oni ga tada dovedu k Isusu.

Now it happened on one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple and preached the gospel, that the chief priests and the scribes, together with the elders, confronted him 2 and spoke to him, saying, “Tell us, by what authority are you doing these things? Or who is he who gave you this authority?” 3 But he answered and said to them, “I will also ask you one thing, and answer me: 4 The baptism of John–was it from heaven or from men?”

Prispodoba o vinogradarima

Dogodi se jednoga dana dok je Isus uçio narod u hramu i navjeæøivao Radosnu vijest, pristupe sveøeniçki glavari i pismoznanci sa starjeæinama 2 i upitali ga, govoreøi: “Reci nam kakvom vlaæøu to çiniæ?

Then he looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury, 2 and he saw also a certain poor widow putting in two mites. 3 So he said, “Truly I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all; 4 for all these out of their abundance have put in offerings for God, but she out of her poverty has put in all the livelihood that she had.” 5 Then, as some spoke of the temple, how it was adorned with beautiful stones and donations, he said, 6 “As for these things which you see, the days will come in which not one stone shall be left upon another that shall not be thrown down.” 7 And they asked him, saying, “Teacher, but when will these things be? And what sign will there be when these things are about to take place?” 8 And he said: “Take heed that you not be deceived. For many, will come in My name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The time has drawn near.’ Therefore do not go after them. 9 But when you hear of wars and commo-tions, do not be terrified; for these things must come to pass first, but the end will not come immediately.” 10 Then he said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. 11 And there will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven. 12 But before all these things, they will lay their

Jer øe mnogi doøi pod mojim imenom i reøi: ‘Ja sam Krist,’ i ‘Doælo je vrijeme.’ Dakle ne idite za njima!” 9 Ali kad çujete za ratove i bune, nemojte se prestraæiti!

Then the whole multitude of them arose and led him to Pilate. 2 And they began to accuse him, saying, “We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to pay taxes to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ, a King.” 3 So Pilate asked him, saying, “Are you the King of the Jews?” And he answered him and said, “It is as you say.” 4 Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowd, “I find no fault in this Man.” 5 But they were the more fierce, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee to this place.” 6 When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked if the Man were a Galilean. 7 And as soon as he knew that he belonged to Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem at that time. 8 Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly glad; for he had desired for a long time to see him, because he had heard many things about him, and he hoped to see some miracle done by him. 9 Then he questioned him with many words, but he answered him nothing. 10 And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him. 11 Then Herod, with his men of war, treated him with contempt and mocked him, arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him back to Pilate. 12 That very day Pilate and Herod became friends with each other, for before that they had been at enmity with each other. 13 Then Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people, 14 said to them, “You have brought this Man to me, as one who misleads the people. And indeed, having examined him in your presence, I have found no fault in this Man concerning those things of which you accuse him; 15 no, neither did Herod, for I sent you back to him; and indeed nothing worthy of death has been done

Isus pred Pilatom i pred Herodom

Tada se svi dignu i odvedu ga k Pilatu 2 I oni ga poçeli optuœivati govoreøi: “Ustanovili smo da ovaj buni narod i zabranjuje davati porez caru, a o sebi tvrdi da je Krist, Kralj.” 3 Pilat ga upita: “Jesi li ti œidovski kralj?” “Kao æto ti kaœeæ,” rekao mu On. 4 Tada Pilat reçe sveøeniçkim glavarima i svjetini: “Nikakve krivnje ne nalazim na ovom çovjeku.” 5 Oni su joæ upornije navaljivali: “On buni narod, uçeøi po cijeloj Judeji sve od Galileje pa do ovoga mjesta.” 6 Kad je to Pilat çuo, upita je li taj çovjek Galilejac. 7 I kad je saznao da potpada pod Herodovu vlast, posla ga k Herodu, koji je i sam onih dana bio u Jeruzalemu. 8 Tada se Herod vrlo jako obradovao kad je opazio Isusa; on je odavno œelio da ga vidi, jer je mnogo toga o njemu sluæao, pa se nadao da øe vidjeti gdje çini koje çudo. 9 I postavi mu mnoga pitanja, ali mu Isus niæta nije odgovorio. 10 Tu su bili sveøeniçki glavari i pismoznanci i œestoko ga optuœivali. 11 Herod ga prezre i naruga mu se zajedno sa svojom straœom. Zatim ga odjene u bijelu haljinu i posla natrag k Pilatu. 12 Toga istog dana Herod i Pilat postanu prijatelji jedan drugomu, a prije su bili neprijatelji. 13 Pilat sazva glavare sveøeniçke, çlanove Vijeøa i narod, 14 te im rekao: “Doveli ste mi ovoga çovjeka pod optuœbom da potiçe narod na odmetanje. A evo, poæto sam ga ja ispitao pred vama, nisam naæao na njemu nikakve krivnje za koju ga vi optuœujete. 15 Isto tako ni Herod, jer ga je poslao natrag k nama. I zaista nije ovaj niæta uçinio æto zasluœuje smrt.

And they rested on the Sabbath according to the commandment.

Now on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they, and certain other women with them, came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared. 2 But they found the stone rolled away from the tomb. 3 Then they went in and did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 And it happened, as they were greatly perplexed about this, that behold, two men stood by them in shining garments. 5 Then, as they were afraid and bowed their faces to the earth, they said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? 6 He is not here, but is risen! Remember how he spoke to you when he was still in Galilee, 7 saying, ‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.’ ” 8 And they remembered his words. 9 Then they returned from the tomb and told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. 10 It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them, who told these things to the apostles. 11 And their words seemed to them like idle tales, and they did not believe them. 12 But Peter arose and ran to the tomb; and stooping down, he saw the linen cloths lying by themselves; and he departed, marveling to himself at what had happened. 13 Now behold, two of them were traveling that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem. 14 And they talked together of all these things which had happened. 15 So it was, while they conversed and reasoned, that Jesus himself drew near and went with them. 16 But their eyes were restrained, so that they did

Uskrsnuøe Isusovo

Tada u prvi dan tjedna, vrlo rano u jutro, one i joæ neke druge œene s njima doæle su na grob, noseøi miomiris koji su pripremile. 2 Ali one su naæle kamen otkotrljan s grobnice. 3 Uæle su unutra, ali nisu naæle tijelo Gospodina Isusa. 4 Dok su one stajale zbunjene, najedanput im pristupe dva çovjeka u blistavom odijelu. 5 Njih spopadne strah te su spustili pogled na zemlju, a oni su im je rekli: “Zaæto traœite œivoga meåu mrtvima?” 6 On nije ovdje! Uskrsnuo je! Sjetite se kako vam je govorio dok je joæ bio u Galileji,” 7 govoreøi: ‘Sin Çovjeçji mora biti predan u ruke grjeænika i biti razapet te da uskrsne treøi dan!’ ” 8 I one se sjetile njegovih rijeçi. 9 Kad se one vratile s groba, jave sve to Jedanaestorici i svima ostalima. 10 Bile su Marija iz Magdale, Ivana i Marija, Jakovljeva majka i ostale œene koje su bile s njima, rekli su to apostolima. 11 Ovima se te rijeçi uçine kao izmiæljotina. I nisu im vjerovali. 12 Onda je Petar ipak ustao i otrçao na grob. Nadvirio se dolje i vidio samo plahtice gdje su leœale same, pa se vratio natrag, snebivajuøi se nad onim æto se dogodilo. 13 I gle, toga istog dana dvojica od njih iæla su u selo zvano Emaus, udaljeno od Jeruzalema stotinu æezdeset stadija. 14 Razgovarali su meåu sobom o svim tim dogaåajima. 15 I tako je bilo da dok su razgovarali i raspravljali, pribliœio im se sam Isus te poæao s njima. 16 Njihovim oçima bilo je uskraøeno da ga mogu prepoznati.

Luke

John THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO JOHN

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him nothing was made that was made. 4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. 6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 This man came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all through him might believe. 8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. 9 That was the true Light which gives light to every man who comes into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world did not know him. 11 He came to his own, and his own did not receive him. 12 But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in his name: 13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. 15 John bore witness of him and cried out, saying, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me is preferred before me, for he was before me.’ ” 16 And of his fullness we have all received, and grace for grace. 17 For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has declared him. 19 Now this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”

Svjedoçanstvo Ivana Krstitelja

U poçetku je bila Rijeç, i Rijeç je bila s Bogom i Rijeç je bila Bog. (Rijeç je Krist) 2 On je u poçetku bio s Bogom. 3 Sve je po njemu stvoreno i niæta æto je stvoreno nije bez njega stvoreno. 4 U njemu je bio œivot i œivot je bio svjetlo ljudima. 5 I Svjetlo svijetli u tami, i tama ga nije obuzela. 6 Pojavio se çovjek, poslan od Boga, kojemu je bilo ime Ivan. 7 Isti taj je doæao kao svjedok da svjedoçi za Svjetlo, tako da svi po njemu mogu vjerovati. 8 On nije bio to Svjetlo, nego da svjedoçi za Svjetlo. 9 Svjetlo istinito, koje rasvjetljuje svakoga çovjeka, koji doåe na ovaj svijet. 10 Bio je na svijetu, i svijet je stvoren po njemu, a svijet ga nije upoznao. 11 K svojima je doæao, ali ga njegovi nisu primili. 12 A svima koji su ga primili dao je vlast da postanu djeca Boœja; çak i onima koji vjeruju u njegovo ime: 13 Koji nisu roåeni ni od krvi, ni od volje tjelesne, ni od volje çovjeçje, nego od Boga. 14 Rijeç je tijelom postala i nastanila se meåu nama. I mi smo promatrali slavu njegovu, kao slavu Jedinoroåenoga od Oca, pun milosti i istine. 15 Ivan za njega svjedoçi i viçe: “Evo onoga za koga sam rekao: ‘Onaj koji poslije mene dolazi preda mnom je, jer je bio prije mene!’ ” 16 Uistinu, svi smo mi primili od njegove punine: milost za milost. 17 Jer, Zakon je bio dan po Mojsiju, a po Isusu Kristu doæla je milost i istina. 18 Boga nitko nikada nije vidio. Jedinoroåeni Sin koji je na grudima Oca, On ga je objavio. 19 A ovo je Ivanovo svjedoçanstvo, kad su mu Œidovi iz Jeruzalema poslali neke sveøenike i Levite da ga upitaju: “Tko si ti?”

Are you Elijah?” 21 Dakle, æto,” upitali ga: “jesi li Ilija?” “Nisam,” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” And he odgovorio je on. “Jesi li Prorok?” “Ne,” odvrati on. answered, “No.” 22 Then they said to him, “Who are you, that we may 22 Tada su mu rekli: “Pa tko si, da moœemo give an answer to those who sent us?

After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 2 Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, which is called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches. 3 In these lay a great multitude of sick people, blind, lame, paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water. 4 For an angel went down at a certain time into the pool and stirred up the water; then whoever stepped in first, after the stirring of the water, was made well of whatever disease he had. 5 Now a certain man was there who had an infirmity thirty-eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he already had been in that condition a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be made well?” 7 The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; but while I am coming, another steps down before me.” 8 Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your bed and walk.” 9 And immediately the man was made well, took up his bed, and walked. And that day was the Sabbath. 10 The Jews therefore said to him who was cured, “It is the Sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed.” 11 He answered them, “He who made me well said to me, ‘Take up your bed and walk.’ ” 12 Then they asked him, “Who is the Man who said to you, ‘Take up your bed and walk’?” 13 But the one who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a multitude being in that place. 14 Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, “See, you have been made well. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you.” 15 The man departed and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well. 16 For this reason the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill him, because he had done these things on the Sabbath.

Isus pravi Sin Boœji

Poslije toga bila je œidovska svetkovina te Isus uziåe u Jeruzalem. 2 U Jeruzalemu, kod ovçjih vrata, nalazi se kupaliæte, koje se hebrejski zove Bethesda. Ima pet trijemova. 3 U njima je leœalo mnoætvo bolesnika, slijepih, hromih i uzetih; oni su çekali da se pokrene voda. 4 Anåeo bi Gospodinov, naime, silazio u odreåeno vrijeme u kupelj i pokretao vodu; tko bi prvi uæao poæto se voda pokrenula, ozdravio bi makar bolovao od bilo kakve bolesti. 5 Tu je bio neki çovjek koji je bolestan leœao trideset i osam godina. 6 Kad ga opazio Isus gdje leœi i kad je doznao da je veø dugo vremena u tom stanju, rekao mu: “Œeljiæ li biti ozdravljen?” 7 Odgovorio mu iznemogli bolesnik: “Gospodine, ja nemam nikoga da me spusti u kupelj kad se pokrene voda, a dok ja doåem, drugi siåu prije mene.” 8 Isus mu rekao: “Ustani, uzmi svoju postelju i hodaj.” 9 I odmah je ozdravio taj çovjek, te uzeo svoju postelju i poçeo hodati. A taj je dan bio Subotnji dan. 10 Zato su Œidovi rekli onomu koji je ozdravio: “Ovo je Subotnji dan, pa nije dopuæteno da nosiæ postelju.” 11 A on im odgovorio: “Onaj koji me ozdravio rekao mi: ‘Uzmi svoju postelju i hodaj.’ ” 12 Onda ga oni upitali: “Tko je taj çovjek koji ti je rekao: ‘Uzmi svoju postelju i hodaj’?” 13 A ozdravljenik nije znao tko je. Isus je veø iæçeznuo, jer je bilo mnogo svijeta na tomu mjestu. 14 Poslije toga namjeri se na njega Isus u hramu te mu rekao: “Eto, ozdravio si! Viæe ne grijeæi, da ti se æto gore ne bi dogodilo!” 15 Çovjek je otiæao i rekao Œidovima da je Isus onaj koji ga je ozdravio. 16 Œidovi su tada progonili Isusa i gledali da ga

After these things Jesus went over the Sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiberias. 2 Then a great multitude followed him, because they saw his signs which he performed on those who were diseased. 3 And Jesus went up on a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples. 4 Now the Passover, a feast of the Jews, was near. 5 Then Jesus lifted up his eyes, and seeing a great multitude coming toward him, he said to Philip, “Where shall we buy bread, that these may eat?” 6 But this he said to test him, for he himself knew what he would do. 7 Philip answered him, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may have a little.” 8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to him, 9 “There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two small fish, but what are they among so many?” 10 Then Jesus said, “Make the people sit down.” Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. 11 And Jesus took the loaves, and when he had given thanks he distributed them to the disciples, and the disciples to those sitting down; and likewise of the fish, as much as they wanted. 12 So when they were filled, he said to his disciples, “Gather up the fragments that remain, so that nothing is lost.” 13 Therefore they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten. 14 Then those men, when they had seen the sign that Jesus did, said, “This is truly the Prophet who is to come into the world.” 15 Therefore when Jesus perceived that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, he departed again to a mountain by himself alone. 16 And when evening came, his disciples went down to the sea, 17 got into the boat, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them. 18 Then the sea arose because a great wind was blowing. 19 So when they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near the boat; and they were afraid. 20 But he said to them, “It is I; do not be afraid.” 21 Then they willingly received him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land where they were going. 22 On the following day, when the people who were standing on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except that one which his disciples had entered, and that Jesus had not entered the boat with his disciples, but his disciples had gone away alone– 23 however, other boats came from Tiberias, near the place where they ate bread after the Lord had given thanks–

Isus umnaœa kruh. Ide po moru

Poslije toga otiæao je Isus na drugu obalu Galilejskog mora, koje je Tiberijadsko more. 2 Veliko je mnoætvo naroda iælo za njim, jer su gledali çudesa koja je çinio na bolesnicima. 3 Isus se uspeo na goru i ondje sjeo sa svojim uçenicima. 4 Pasha, œidovska svetkovina, bila je blizu. 5 Tada je Isus podigao oçi te, kako je vidio da veliko mnoætvo naroda dolazi k njemu, rekao je Filipu: “Gdje da kupimo kruha da ovi ljudi jedu?” 6 To je rekao da ga kuæa. Sam je, naime, znao æto øe uçiniti. 7 Filip mu odgovorio: “Za dvjesta denara kruha ne bi bilo dosta za njih da svaki od njih neæto malo dobije.” 8 Tada mu jedan od njegovih uçenika, Andrija, brat Æimuna Petra, rekao: 9 Ima ovdje jedan djeçak sa pet jeçmenih kruhova i dvije ribice. Ali æto je to za tolike?” 10 Tada im rekao Isus: “Uçinite da ljudi posjedaju.” Bilo je mnogo trave na onom mjestu te posjeda ondje oko pet tisuøa ljudi. 11 Tada je Isus uzeo kruhove, i kad je zahvalio Bogu razdijelio ih uçenicima, a uçenici onima koji su posjedali; isto im tako od riba dao koliko su htjeli. 12 Kada su se nasitili, rekao je svojim uçenicima: “Skupite preostale komadiøe da niæta ne propadne.” 13 Tako su oni pokupili i napunili dvanaest koæara komadiøa od pet jeçmenih kruhova, æto je preostalo onima koji su jeli. 14 Onda oni ljudi, kad su vidjeli çudo koje je uçinio Isus, rekli su: “Ovo je uistinu prorok koji ima doøi na svijet.” 15 A kad je Isus saznao da øe oni doøi da ga silom uhvate i uçine kraljem, On je opet krenuo, posve sam, u goru. 16 Kad je nastala veçer, njegovi uçenici su siæli na more te uæli u laåicu. 17 A bili su na putu prema Kafarnaumu, na drugoj strani mora. Veø se i smrklo, a Isus joæ nije doæao k njima. 18 Tada se more uzdizalo od silnog vjetra. 19 Kada su veslajuøi prevalili oko dvadeset pet do trideset stadija, opazili su Isusa gdje hoda po moru i pribliœuje se k laåici. Oni se prestraæe. 20 A On im rekao: “Ja sam; ne bojte se.” 21 Tada ga s radoæøu prime u laåicu, a laåica se odmah naæla na obali kamo su smjerali iøi. 22 Sutradan mnoætvo naroda æto je stajalo na drugoj obali mora opazi da tamo nije bilo druge laåice, nego samo jedna u kojoj su bili njegovi uçenici, i da Isus nije uæao u nju sa svojim uçenicima, veø da su uçenici sami otplovili. 23 Meåutim, tamo iz Tiberijade stignu neke laåice u blizinu mjesta gdje su jeli kruh poæto je Gospodin dao zahvalu. 24 Kad je mnoætvo naroda vidjelo tada da tu nema ni Isusa ni njegovih uçenika, uæli su u laåice i doæli su u Kafarnaum da traœe Isusa. 25 A kad su ga naæli na drugoj strani mora, upitali su ga: “Uçitelju, kad si ovamo doæao?”

Ipak, jedan je od vas åavao.” 71 Govorio je o Judi, sinu Æimuna Iskariotskog, and walked with him no more. 67 Then Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you also want jer ga je on, jedan od Dvanaestorice, imao izdati. to go away?” 68 Then Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. 69 Also we have come to believe and know that you are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 70 Jesus answered them, “Did I not choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?” 71 He spoke of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, for it was he who would betray him, being one of the twelve.

But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2 But early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him; and he sat down and taught them. 3 Then the scribes and Pharisees brought to him a woman caught in adultery. And when they had set her in the midst, 4 they said to him, “Teacher, this woman was caught in adultery, in the very act. 5 Now Moses, in the law, commanded us that such should be stoned. But what do you say?” 6 This they said, testing him, that they might have something of which to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger, as though he did not hear. 7 So when they continued asking him, he raised himself up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.” 8 And again he stooped down and wrote on the ground. 9 Then those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. 10 When Jesus had raised himself up and saw no one but the woman, he said to her, “Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?” 11 She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.” 12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows me shall not

Preljubnica. Isus svjetlost svijeta

A Isus je otiæao na Maslinsku goru. 2 A rano u jutro opet se pojavi u hramu. Sav je narod dolazio k njemu. On je sjeo i poçeo ih uçiti. 3 Tada pismoznanci i farizeji dovedu neku œenu uhvaøenu u preljubu.

A æto ti kaœeæ?” 6 To su rekli, s nakanom da ga kuæaju i pronaåu neæto çime bi ga mogli okriviti. Ali Isus se sagnuo i poçeo pisati prstom po zemlji, kao da ih ne çuje. 7 A kako su ga oni i dalje ustrajno pitali, On se uspravio te im rekao: “Onaj tko je od vas bez grijeha, neka prvi baci kamen na nju!” 8 Zatim se opet sagnuo i nastavio pisati po tlu. 9 A oni, kad su to çuli, poæto ih je poçela peøi savjest, poçeli su odlaziti jedan po jedan, poçevæi od najstarijih. A Isus je ostao sa œenom koja je stajala ispred svih, 10 te kad se Isus uspravio, i nije vidio nikoga osim œene, upitao ju: “¸eno, gdje su oni koji su te optuœivali? Nitko te nije osudio?” 11 Nitko, Gospodine,” odgovorila je ona. “Ni ja te ne osuåujem,” rekao je Isus. “Idi i ne grijeæi viæe.” 12 Isus im tada ponovno progovori: “Ja sam svjetlo svijeta. Tko ide za mnom sigurno neøe iøi po tami, nego øe imati svjetlo koje vodi u œivot.”

Now as Jesus passed by, he saw a man who was blind from birth. 2 And his disciples asked him, saying, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” 3 Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God should be revealed in him. 4 I must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work. 5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” 6 When he had said these things, he spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva; and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay.

Now before the feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour had come that he should depart from this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. 2 And supper being ended, the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him, 3 Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going to God, 4 rose from supper and laid aside his garments, took a towel and girded himself. 5 After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which he was girded. 6 Then he came to Simon Peter. And Peter said to him, “Lord, are you washing my feet?” 7 Jesus answered and said to him, “What I am doing you do not understand now, but you will know after this.” 8 Peter said to him, “You shall never wash my feet!” Jesus answered him, “If I do not wash you, you have no part with me.”

Isus proriçe Petrovu zataju

Tada u oçi svetkovine Pashe, Isus je znao da mu je doæao ças i da øe morati otiøi s ovoga svijeta k Ocu, ljubeøi svoje koji su na svijetu, iskazao im je ljubav do kraja. 2 Po svræetku veçere veø je åavao stavio u srce Jude Iskariotskoga, Æimunova sina, da ga izda. 3 Isus je bio svjestan da mu je Otac sve predao u ruke, da je od Boga doæao i da se k Bogu vraøa. 4 On se ustane od veçere, skinuo je sa sebe ogrtaç, uzeo ruçnik i njime se opasao. 5 Zatim je ulio vode u posudu za pranje te poçeo uçenicima prati noge i otirati ih ruçnikom kojim je bio opasan. 6 Tako je On doæao do Æimuna Petra. A Petar mu rekao: “Gospodine, ti da meni pereæ noge?” 7 Isus mu je odgovorio: “Æto ja çinim, ne moœeæ razumjeti sada, ali øeæ razumjeti poslije.” 8 Petar mu rekao: “Ti meni nikada neøeæ prati noge,” Isus mu odgovorio: “Ako te ne operem, neøeæ imati dijela sa mnom.” 9 Æimun Petar mu rekao: “Gospodine, ne samo moje noge, nego i ruke i glavu!” 10 Isus mu rekao: “Tko je okupan, treba mu oprati samo noge. On je potpuno çist. I vi ste

-1162John Ivan 36 Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. 37 Dakle, onda, jesi li ti kralj”? Rekao mu Pilat. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would Isus mu odgovorio “Ti pravo kaœeæ da sam Ja fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; Kralj.

I kad je to For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have rekao, ponovo je iziæao k Œidovima te im izjavio: come into the world, that I should bear witness to the “Ja ne nalazim na njemu nikakve krivnje. truth.

Do you therefore want me to release to you the King of the Jews?” 40 Then they all cried again, saying, “Not this Man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber.

So then Pilate took Jesus and scourged him. 2 And the soldiers twisted a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe. 3 Then they said, “Hail, King of the Jews!” And they struck him with their hands. 4 Pilate then went out again, and said to them, “Behold, I am bringing him out to you, that you may know that I find no fault in him.” 5 Then Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said to them, “Behold the Man!” 6 Therefore, when the chief priests and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, “Crucify him, crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “You take him and crucify him, for I find no fault in him.” 7 The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and according to our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.” 8 Therefore, when Pilate heard that saying, he was the more afraid, 9 and went again into the Praetorium, and said to Jesus, “Where are you from?” But Jesus gave him no answer. 10 Then Pilate said to him, “Are you not speaking to me? Do you not know that I have power to crucify you, and power to release you?” 11 Jesus answered, “You could have no power at all against me unless it had been given you from above. Therefore the one who delivered me to you has the greater sin.” 12 From then on Pilate sought to release him, but the Jews cried out, saying, “If you let this Man go, you are not Caesar’s friend. Whoever makes himself a king speaks against Caesar.” 13 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus out and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha. 14 Now it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, and about the sixth hour. And he said to the Jews, “Behold your King!” 15 But they cried out, “Away with him, away with him! Crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Shall I crucify your King?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king but Caesar!” 16 So he delivered him to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus and led him away. 17 And he, bearing his cross, went out to a place called the Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha, 18 where they crucified him, and two others with him, one on either side, and Jesus in the center. 19 Now Pilate wrote a title and put it on the cross. And the writing was: Jesus of Nazareth, The King of

Tada je Pilat uzeo Isusa i zapovjedio da ga biçuju. 2 Zatim su vojnici ispleli krunu od trnja, stavili mu ju na glavu i ogrnuli ga skrletnim plaætem. 3 Potom bi mu govorili: “Zdravo, kralju Œidovski!” I joæ ga udarali po obrazima. 4 Pilat je ponovno iziæao te im rekao: “Evo ga izvodim pred vas da znate da ja na njemu ne nalazim nikakve krivnje!” 5 Tada Isus izaåe noseøi trnovu krunu i skrletni plaæt. Pilat im rekao: “Evo çovjeka!” 6 Kako ga opaze sveøeniçki glavari i sluœbenici poviçu: “Razapni ga! Razapni ga!” Pilat im rekao: “Uzmite ga vi i razapnite! Ja na njemu ne nalazim krivnje.” 7 Œidovi su mu odgovorili: “Mi imamo Zakon i po tomu Zakonu mora umrijeti, jer se pravio Sinom Boœjim.” 8 Kada je Pilat çuo tu rijeç, joæ se viæe uplaæio, 9 te se ponovno vrati u sudsku dvoranu i upita Isusa: “Odakle si?” Ali Isus mu nije dao odgovora. 10 Tada mu Pilat rekao: “Zar meni ne odgovaraæ? Ne znaæ li ti da ja imam vlast osloboditi te i da imam vlast razapeti te?” 11 Isus mu odgovorio: “Ne bi imao nada mnom nikakve vlasti, kad ti ne bi bilo dano odozgor. Zato je onomu, koji me je tebi predao, veøi grijeh.” 12 Otada je Pilat nastojao da ga oslobodi, ali Œidovi su vikali govoreøi: “Ako ovoga oslobodiæ, nisi prijatelj caru! Jer svatko tko se pravi kraljem protivi se caru.” 13 A Pilat kad je çuo te rijeçi, izveo je Isusa te sjeo na sudaçku stolicu na mjesto æto se zove Lithostrotos, a hebrejski Gabbatha. 14 A bio je dan priprave za Pashu, oko æestoga sata. I Pilat je rekao Œidovima: “Evo vam vaæega kralja!” 15 A oni su vikali: “Smakni ga! Smakni ga! Razapni ga!” Rekao im Pilat: “Vaæega kralja da razapnem?” Odgovorili su sveøeniçki glavari: “Mi nemamo drugoga kralja osim cara!” 16 Onda ga Pilat predao njima da se razapne. I oni su izveli Isusa i odveli ga. 17 A on, noseøi svoj kriœ, otiæao je naprijed na mjesto koje se zove Lubanja, a hebrejski Golgota. 18 Tu su razapeli njega i joæ dvojicu s njim: jednoga s jedne, drugoga s druge strane, a Isusa u sredini. 19 A Pilat je napisao natpis i stavio ga na kriœ. Bilo je napisano: Isus Nazareøanin, kralj œido-

Bilo je napisano hebrejski, latinski i grçki. was written in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin. 21 Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, 21 Nato sveøeniçki glavari Œidova reknu Pilatu: “Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but, ‘He said, “I “Nemoj napisati ‘Kralj Œidova’, nego: ‘On je rekao: Ja sam kralj Œidova.’’ am the King of the Jews.” ’” 22 Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have writ- 22 Pilat je odgovorio: “Æto sam napisao, ostaje napisano!” ten.” 23 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, 23 A vojnici, kad su razapeli Isusa, uzeli su took his garments and made four parts, to each sol- njegove haljine i razdijelili ih na çetiri dijela; dier a part, and also the tunic. Now the tunic was svakomu vojniku po jedan dio, i njegovu donju haljinu. Ali kako nije bila æivana, veø sva otkana without seam, woven from the top in one piece. 24 They said therefore among themselves, “Let us od vrha do dna. not tear it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be,” that 24 Oni zato reknu meåusobno: “Ne parajmo je, the Scripture might be fulfilled which says: “They di- veø bacimo za nju kocku komu øe pripasti!” To vided my garments among them, and for my clothing se dogodi da bi se ispunila rijeç Pisma: ‘Razdithey cast lots.” Therefore the soldiers did these jelili su meåu sebe haljine moje; i za odjeøu moju, bacali kocku.’ Eto, tako su postupali vothings. 25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, jnici. and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and 25 Kod Isusova kriœa stajale su njegova majka i sestra njegove majke, Marija Kleofina, i Marija Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the iz Magdale. disciple whom he loved standing by, he said to his 26 Kad je Isus opazio majku i blizu nje uçenika kojega je osobito ljubio, rekao je svojoj majci: mother, “Woman, behold your son!” 27 Then he said to the disciple, “Behold your “¸eno, evo ti sina!” mother!” And from that hour that disciple took her to 27 Zatim je rekao svojemu uçeniku: “Evo ti mahis own home. jke!” I od toga çasa taj uçenik uzeo ju u svoju 28 After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now kuøu. accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, 28 Poslije toga Isus, svjestan da je veø sve said, “I thirst!” svræeno, reçe, da bi se ispunilo Pismo: “Œedan 29 Now a vessel full of sour wine was sitting there; sam.” and they filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on hys- 29 A tu je bila posuda puna octa; a oni su tada sop, and put it to his mouth. nataknuli na isopovu stabljiku spuœvu punu 30 So when Jesus had received the sour wine, he octa i primaknuli ju k Isusovim ustima. said, “It is finished!” And bowing his head, he gave 30 Nakon toga kad je Isus primio ocat, rekao je: up his spirit. “Svræeno je!” te naklonio glavu i predao duh. 31 Therefore, because it was the Preparation Day, 31 Nadalje kako je bio dan Priprave prije svetthat the bodies should not remain on the cross on the kovine, a da tjelesa ne ostanu na kriœu na SubSabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews otnji dan (jer je bila velika svetkovina na Subotasked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that nji dan,) zamole Œidovi Pilata da se razapetima they might be taken away. prebiju noge i da se skinu i uzmu. 32 Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the 32 Tada su vojnici doæli i prebili noge prvomu i first and of the other who was crucified with him. drugomu koji su bili razapeti s Isusom. 33 But when they came to Jesus and saw that he 33 Kada su doæli k Isusu i vidjeli da je veø mrtav, was already dead, they did not break his legs. njemu nisu prebili noge, 34 But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a 34 nego jedan od vojnika kopljem mu probode spear, and immediately blood and water came out. bok, pa odmah poteçe krv i voda. 35 And he who has seen has testified, and his testi- 35 Onaj koji je ovo vidio svjedoçi, njegovo je mony is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, svjedoçanstvo istinito i on zna da govori istinu, so that you may believe. tako da vi trajno vjerujete. 36 For these things were done that the Scripture 36 A to se sve dogodilo da bi se ispunilo Pismo: should be fulfilled, “Not one of his bones shall be bro- “Ni jedna njegova kost neøe se prelomiti.” ken.” 37 A na drugom mjestu Pismo govori: “Gledat 37 And again another Scripture says, “They shall øe na onoga kojega su proboli.” look on him whom they pierced.” 38 Poslije toga doæao je Josip iz Arimateje, koji 38 After this, Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple je bio uçenik Isusov, ali tajno zbog straha od of Jesus, but secretly, for fear of the Jews, asked Œidova, i zamolio Pilata da uzme Isusovo tijelo.

After these things Jesus showed him self again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias, and in this way he showed himself: 2 Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together. 3 Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said to him, “We are going with you also.” They went out and immediately got into the boat, and that night they caught nothing. 4 But when the morning had now come, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. 5 Then Jesus said to them, “Children, have you any food?” They answered him, “No.” 6 And he said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast, and now they were not able to draw it in because of the multitude of fish. 7 Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment (for he had removed it), and plunged into the sea. 8 But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from land, but about two hundred cubits), dragging the net with fish. 9 Then, as soon as they had come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread. 10 Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish which you have just caught.” 11 Simon Peter went up and dragged the net to land, full of large fish, one hundred and fifty-three; and although there were so many, the net was not broken. 12 Jesus said to them, “Come and eat breakfast.” Yet none of the disciples dared ask him, “Who are you?”–knowing that it was the Lord. 13 Jesus then came and took the bread and gave it to them, and likewise the fish. 14 This is now the third time Jesus showed himself to his disciples after he was raised from the dead. 15 So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.” 16 He said to him again a second time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Tend my sheep.” 17 He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me?” Peter was grieved because

Isus se javio uçenicima na Tiberijadskomu moru

21

Poslije toga ponovno se ukazao Isus uçenicima na obali Tiberijadskog mora. A ovako se je pokazao: 2 Æimun Petar, Toma zvani Blizanac, Natanael iz Kane Galilejske, Zebedejevi sinovi i joæ druga dvojica njegovih uçenika bili su na okupu. 3 Njima je rekao Æimun Petar: “Ja idem loviti ribu.” Oni mu odvratili: “Idemo i mi s tobom,” Nato su odmah iziæli i uæli u laåicu, ali te noøi nisu ulovili niæta. 4 Ali kad je doælo jutro, stajao je Isus na obali, ali uçenici joæ nisu znali da je to Isus. 5 Tada im Isus rekao: “Djeco, imate li æto za jelo?” Oni su mu odgovorili: “Nemamo,” 6 A On im rekao: “Bacite mreœu na desnu stranu laåice i neæto øete naøi,” Oni je onda bace, ali tada veø je nisu mogli izvuøi zbog mnoætva riba. 7 Nato uçenik kojega je Isus osobito ljubio rekao Petru: “Pa to je Gospodin.” Kako je Petar çuo da je to Gospodin, zagrnuo se gornjom haljinom (jer ju je bio skinuo) te skoçio u more. 8 Ali drugi uçenici su tada doæli s laåicom, jer nisu bili daleko od kopna, otprilike kojih dvjesto lakata, vukuøi mreœu s ribama. 9 Tada çim su izaæli na kopno, opazili su tamo razgorjelu œeravu vatru i na njoj ribu i kruh. 10 Rekao im Isus: “Donesite od riba æto ste ih sada uhvatili.” 11 Uspe se u laåicu Æimun Petar te izvuçe na kopno mreœu krcatu velikih riba: stotinu pedeset i tri ribe. Iako ih je bilo toliko mnogo, mreœa se nije rastrgla. 12 Rekao im Isus: “Doåite i doruçkujte!” Nitko se od uçenika nije usudio pitati ga: “Tko si ti?” Jer su znali da je to Gospodin. 13 Isus se primaknuo, uzeo kruh pa im ga dao; ribu isto tako. 14 To se veø treøi put Isus ukazao svojim uçenicima otkada je uskrsnuo od mrtvih. 15 Poæto su doruçkovali, Isus upita Æimuna Petra: “Æimune, sine Jonin, ljubiæ li me viæe nego ovi?” On mu odgovorio: “Da, Gospodine, ti znaæ da te ljubim.” Rekao mu Isus. “Pasi jaganjce moje.” 16 I upita ga opet po drugi put: “Æimune, sine Jonin, ljubiæ li me?” On mu rekao: “Da, Gospodine, ti znaæ da te ljubim”. “Pasi ovce moje! Rekao mu Isus.” 17 I upita ga treøi put: “Æimune, sine Jonin, lju-

The former account I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach. 2 until the day in which he was taken up, after he through the Holy Spirit had given commandments to the apostles whom he had chosen, 3 to whom he also presented himself alive after his suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God. 4 And being assembled together with them, he commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have heard from me; 5 “for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.” 6 Therefore, when they had come together, they asked him, saying, “Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” 7 And he said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in his own authority. 8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” 9 Now when he had spoken these things, while they watched, he was taken up, and a cloud received him out of their sight. 10 And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, 11 who also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven?

Now when the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. 5 Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven. 6 And when this sound occurred, the multi-tude came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language. 7 Then they were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, “Look, are not all these who speak Galileans? 8 “And how is it that we hear, each in our own language in which we were born? 9 “Parthians and Medes and Elamites, those dwelling in Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pon-

Now Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour. 2 And a certain man lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms from those who entered the temple; 3 who, seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked for alms. 4 And fixing his eyes on him, with John, Peter said, “Look at us.” 5 So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them. 6 Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.” 7 And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. 8 So he, leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with them–walking, leaping, and praising God. 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God. 10 Then they knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him. 11 Now as the lame man who was healed held on to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch which is called Solomon’s, greatly amazed. 12 So when Peter saw it, he responded to the people: “Men of Israel, why do you marvel at this? Or why look so intently at us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk? 13 “The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified his Servant Jesus, whom you

Petar ozdravlja hroma od poroda

Petar i Ivan iæli su zajedno gore u hram devetog sata, kad je bio sat molitve. 2 Upravo tada su ljudi nosili nekog çovjeka hroma od roåenja. Ovoga su svaki dan postavljali pred hramska vrata zvana Krasna, da bi mogao prositi milostinju od posjetilaca hrama. 3 Kako opazi Petra i Ivana, koji su upravo htjeli uøi u hram, zamoli ih za milostinju. 4 A Petar zajedno s Ivanom uperio u njega pogled pa mu rekao: “Pogledaj u nas!” 5 On ih je pomno promatrao u iæçekivanju da øe od njih neæto dobiti. 6 Tada mu rekao Petar: “Ja nemam ni srebra ni zlata, ali ono æto imam, to ti dajem: U ime Isusa Krista Nazareøanina, ustani i hodaj!” 7 Ujedno ga uhvatio za desnu ruku te ga podigao, a njemu su odmah oçvrsnule noge, gleœnji i stopala, 8 pa skoçio, ustao i poçeo hodati. Zatim je s njima uæao u hram, hodajuøi, poskakujuøi i hvaleøi Boga. 9 Tako ga je sav narod vidio kako hoda i hvali Boga. 10 Ljudi su prepoznali da je to onaj koji je zbog milostinje sjedio na Krasnim vratima hrama; oni se napunili çuåenjem i divljenjem zbog onoga æto mu se dogodilo. 11 Kako hromi koji je ozdravio nije ostavljao Petra i Ivana, sav se narod divio i çudio pa su potrçali svi zajedno k njima u trijem zvani Salomonov. 12 Kada je to vidio Petar, progovorio je narodu: “Izraelci, zaæto se çudite ovomu? Zaæto ste uprli pogled u nas, kao da smo mi svojom snagom ili poboœnoæøu uçinili da ovaj moœe hodati? 13 Bog Abrahamov, Izakov i Jakovljev, Bog otaca naæih proslavio je svojega Slugu Isusa, kojega ste vi predali i kojega ste se odrekli pred

Now as they spoke to the people, the priests, the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees came upon them, 2 being greatly disturbed that they taught the people and preached in Jesus the resurrection from the dead. 3 And they laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day, for it was already evening. 4 However, many of those who heard the word believed; and the number of the men came to be about five thousand. 5 And it happened, on the next day, that their rulers, elders, and scribes, 6 as well as Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the family of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem. 7 And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, “By what power or by what name have you done this?” 8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders of Israel: 9 “If we this day are judged for a good deed done to the helpless man, by what means he has been made well, 10 “let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by him this man stands here before you whole. 11 “This is the ‘stone which was rejected by you

But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession. 2 And he kept back part of the proceeds, his wife also being aware of it, and brought a certain part and laid it at the apostles’ feet. 3 But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself? 4 “While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God.” 5 Then Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and breathed his last. So great fear came upon all those who heard these things. 6 And the young men arose and wrapped him up, carried him out, and buried him. 7 Now it was about three hours later when his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. 8 And Peter answered her, “Tell me whether you sold the land for so much?” And she said, “Yes, for so much.” 9 Then Peter said to her, “How is it that you have agreed together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out.” 10 Then immediately she fell down at his feet and breathed her last. And the young men came in and found her dead, and carrying her out, buried her by her husband. 11 So great fear came upon all the church and upon all who heard these things. 12 And through the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people. And they were all with one accord in Solomon’s Porch. 13 Yet none of the rest dared join them, but the people esteemed them highly. 14 And believers were increasingly added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women, 15 so that they brought the sick out into the streets and laid them on beds and cou-ches, that at least the shadow of Peter passing by might fall on some of them. 16 Also a multitude gathered from the surrounding cities to Jerusalem, bringing sick people and those who were tormented by unclean spirits, and they were all healed. 17 Then the high priest rose up, and all those who were with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with indignation, 18 and laid their hands on the apostles and put them in the common prison. 19 But at night an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors and brought them out, and said, 20 “Go, stand in the temple and speak to the people all the words of this life.” 21 And when they heard that, they entered the temple early in the morning and taught. But the high priest and those with him came and called the council together, with all the elders of the sons of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought. 22 But when the officers came and did not find them in the prison, they returned and reported,

Ananija i Safira

Neki çovjek imenom Ananija, sa svojom œenom Safirom, prodao je imanje. 2 Zadrœao za sebe dio utræka sa znanjem œene, a ostatak donio i stavio pred noge apostolima. 3 Tada mu Petar rekao: “Ananija, zaæto ti je sotona napunio srce tako da laœeæ Duhu Svetom i da zadrœiæ za se dio utræka od svojega imanja? 4 Dok je bilo neprodano, zar nije bilo tvoje? I kako je prodano, zar nije bilo na tvojem raspolaganju? Zaæto si u svojemu srcu odluçio to uçiniti? Nisi slagao ljudima, nego Bogu.” 5 Tada Ananija çim je çuo te rijeçi, pao je te izdahnuo. I uæao je velik strah u sve koji su to çuli. 6 Mladiøi su ustali, zamotali ga, iznijeli i pokopali ga. 7 Poslije koja tri sata uæla je i njegova œena, ne znajuøi æto se dogodilo. 8 Petar joj rekao: “Kaœi mi, jeste li za toliko prodali zemljiæte?” “Da, za toliko,” odgovorila je ona. 9 Tada joj rekao Petar: “kako to, zaæto ste se dogovorili da zajedno kuæate Duha Gospodinova? Gle! Veø su na vratima noge onih koji su pokopali tvojega muœa, da i tebe iznesu!” 10 Tada je ona odmah pala njemu do nogu te izdahnula. A kad su mladiøi uæli, naæli su ju mrtvu; pa ju iznijeli i pokopali do njezina muœa. 11 Velik strah spopadne svu crkvu i sve koji su to çuli. 12 A preko ruku apostolskih dogaåala su se mnoga çuda i çudesni znakovi u narodu. Oni su bili svi zajedno i u skladu u Salomonovu trijemu. 13 Od ostalih nitko se nije usuåivao doøi k njima blizu, a narod ih je visoko cijenio. 14 I sve viæe vjernika, mnoætvo muœeva i œena, pridruœivalo se Gospodinu. 15 Toliko da su çak na ulice iznosili bolesnike i stavljali ih na leœaljke i sjedala, da barem sjena Petrova, dok je prolazio, padne na nekoga od njih. 16 Mnogi su dolazili i iz okolnih gradova u Jeruzalem i donosili bolesnike i one koje su muçili neçisti duhovi. I svi su bili ozdravljeni. 17 Tada se digli, puni zavisti, visoki sveøenik i sve njegove pristaæe (to jest sekta saducejska,) 18 pohvatali apostole i bacili ih u javni zatvor. 19 A noøu je anåeo Gospodinov otvorio vrata zatvora, izveo ih pa im rekao: 20 Idite i navjeæøujte u hramu narodu sve rijeçi ovoga œivota!” 21 A kad su oni to çuli, uæli su u hram rano ujutro i poçeli uçiti. Ali je uto doæao visoki sveøenik s onima koji su bili s njim, sazvali Vijeøe sa svim starjeæinama sinova Izraelovih i poslali straœare u zatvor da ih dovedu. 22 Ali kad su straœari stigli onamo i nisu ih naæi u zatvoru vratili se i izvijestili, 23 govoreøi: “Naæli smo zatvor uistinu zakljuçan sa svom paœnjom i straœare gdje straœare pred vratima.

Now in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplying, there arose a murmuring against the Hebrews by the Hellenists, because their widows were neglected in the daily distribution. 2 Then the twelve summoned the multitude of the disciples and said, “It is not desirable that we should leave the word of God and serve tables. 3 “Therefore, brethren, seek out from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit

And brali Stjepana, çovjeka punog vjere i Duha they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Svetoga, zatim Filipa, Prohora, Nikanora, TiSpirit, and Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, mona, Parmena te bivæeg obraøenika na œiParmenas, and Nicolas, a proselyte from Antioch, dovsku vjeru Nikolu iz Antiohije. 6 whom they set before the apostles; and when they 6 Njih su postavili pred apostole, a oni su pod molitvom poloœili na njih ruke. had prayed, they laid hands on them. 7 And the word of God spread, and the number of the 7 Rijeç se Boœja æirila bez prestanka, a broj disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great uçenika u Jeruzalemu silno rastao.

Then the high priest said, “Are these things so?” 2 And he said, “Men and brethren and fathers, listen: The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Haran, 3 “and said to him, ‘Get out of your country and from your relatives, and come to a land that I will show you.’ 4 “Then he came out of the land of the Chal-deans and dwelt in Haran. And from there, when his father was dead, he moved him to this land in which you now dwell. 5 “And God gave him no inheritance in it, not even enough to set his foot on. But even when Abraham had no child, he promised to give it to him for a possession, and to his descendants after him. 6 “But God spoke in this way: that his descendants would sojourn in a foreign land, and that they would bring them into bondage and oppress them four hundred years. 7 ‘And the nation to whom they will be in bondage I will judge,’ said God, ‘and after that they shall come out and serve me in this place.’ 8 “Then he gave him the covenant of circumcision; and so Abraham begot Isaac and circumcised him on the eighth day; and Isaac begot Jacob, and Jacob begot the twelve patriarchs. 9 “And the patriarchs, becoming envious, sold Joseph into Egypt. But God was with him 10 “and delivered him out of all his troubles, and gave him favor and wisdom in the presence of Pharaoh, king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house.

Govor Stjepana i njegovo kamenovanje

Tada ga upita visoki sveøenik: “Je li to tako?” 2 On je odgovorio, Ljudi i braøo i oçevi, posluæajte: Bog slave ukazao se naæem ocu Abrahamu za njegova boravka u Mezopotamiji, prije nego æto se nastani u Haranu, 3 i rekao mu: ‘Iziåi iz svoje zemlje i od svojega roda i hajde u zemlju koju øu ti Ja pokazati.’ 4 Tada je on napustio kaldejsku zemlju i nastanio se u Haranu. A odatle ga, nakon smrti njegova oca, preselio u ovu zemlju u kojoj sada œivite. 5 U njoj mu ne dade nikakva vlasniætva, ni jednu stopu zemlje, veø mu je obeøao, dok joæ nije imao djeteta, dati u posjed njemu i njegovu potomstvu poslije njega. 6 Uz to mu Bog rekao ovako: da øe njegovo potomstvo boraviti u tuåoj zemlji, da øe ga staviti u ropstvo i zlostavljati çetiri stotine godina. 7 Ali narod kojemu budu robovali, reçe Bog, ja øu suditi. Potom øe iziøi te se meni klanjati na ovom mjestu.’ 8 Zatim je sklopio s njim Savez kojemu je znak obrezanje. I tako Abrahamu se rodio Izak i obrezao ga osmi dan, Izaku se rodio Jakov, a Jakovu se rodilo dvanaest patrijarha. 9 A patrijarsi su prodali Josipa u Egipat, jer su mu zavidjeli. Ali Bog je bio s njim, 10 te ga oslobodi od svih njegovih nevolja i dade mu naklonost i mudrost pred faraonom, kraljem egipatskim, koji ga postavi upraviteljem Egipta i sve svoje kuøe. 11 Tada doåe glad na sav Egipat i Kanaan.

Then Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest 2 and asked letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. 3 And as he journeyed he came near Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from heaven. 4 Then he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?” 5 And he said, “Who are you, Lord?” And the Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goads.” 6 So he, trembling and astonished, said, “Lord, what do you want me to do?” And the Lord said to him, “Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.” 7 And the men who journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice but seeing no one. 8 Then Saul arose from the ground, and when his eyes were opened he saw no one. But they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus. 9 And he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank. 10 Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus named Ananias; and to him the Lord said in a vision, “Ananias.” And he said, “Here I am, Lord.” 11 So the Lord said to him, “Arise and go to the street

There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment, 2 a devout man and one who feared God with all his household, who gave alms generously to the people, and prayed to God always. 3 About the ninth hour of the day he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God coming in and saying to him, “Cornelius!” 4 And when he observed him, he was afraid, and said, “What is it, Lord?” So he said to him, “Your prayers and your alms have come up for a memorial before God. 5 “Now send men to Joppa, and send for Simon whose surname is Peter. 6 “He is lodging with Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the sea. He will tell you what you must do.” 7 And when the angel who spoke to him had departed, Cornelius called two of his household servants and a devout soldier from among those who waited on him continually. 8 So when he had explained all these things to them, he sent them to Joppa. 9 The next day, as they went on their journey and drew near the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour. 10 Then he became very hungry and wanted to eat; but while they made ready, he fell into a trance 11 and saw heaven opened and an object like a great sheet bound at the four corners, descending to him and let down to the earth. 12 In it were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, creeping things, and birds of the air. 13 And a voice came to him, “Rise, Peter; kill and eat.” 14 But Peter said, “Not so, Lord! For I have never eaten anything common or unclean.” 15 And a voice spoke to him again the second time, “What God has cleansed you must not call common.” 16 This was done three times. And the object was taken up into heaven again. 17 Now while Peter wondered within himself what

Now the apostles and brethren who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God. 2 And when Peter came up to Jerusalem, those of the circumcision contended with him, 3 saying, “You went in to uncircumcised men and ate with them!” 4 But Peter explained it to them in order from the beginning, saying: 5 “I was in the city of Joppa praying; and in a trance I saw a vision, an object descending like a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came to me. 6 “When I observed it intently and considered, I saw four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, creeping things, and birds of the air. 7 “And I heard a voice saying to me, ‘Rise, Peter; kill and eat.’ 8 “But I said, ‘Not so, Lord! For nothing common or unclean has at any time entered my mouth.’ 9 “But the voice answered me again from heaven, ‘What God has cleansed you must not call common.’ 10 “Now this was done three times, and all were drawn up again into heaven. 11 “At that very moment, three men stood before the house where I was, having been sent to me from Caesarea. 12 “Then the Spirit told me to go with them, doubting nothing. Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered the man’s house. 13 “And he told us how he had seen an angel standing in his house, who said to him, ‘Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon whose surname is Peter, 14 ‘who will tell you words by which you and all your household will be saved.’ 15 “And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, as upon us at the beginning. 16 “Then I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, ‘John indeed baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’ 17 “If therefore God gave them the same gift as he gave us when we believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could withstand God?” 18 When they heard these things they became silent; and they glorified God, saying, “Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life.” 19 Now those who were scattered after the persecution that arose over Stephen tra-veled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to no one but the Jews only.

Petrov govor u Jeruzalemu

Apostoli i braøa koji su bili u Judeji doçuju da su i neznaboæci primili rijeç Boœju, 2 pa kad Petar uziåe u Jeruzalem, oni vjernici koji su bili obrezani prepirali se s njim, 3 Govoreøi: “Iæao si k neobrezanim ljudima i jeo s njima!” 4 Nato im Petar sve po redu objasnio od poçetka govoreøi: 5 Bio sam u gradu Jopi u molitvi i u zanosu imao sam viåenje gdje se neka posuda, sliçna velikom platnu zavezanom s çetiri ugla, silazi i spuæta na zemlju. 6 Kada sam u nju dobro pogledao i promotrio, vidio sam u njoj sve vrste çetveronoœnih œivotinja, gmazova zemaljskih i ptica nebeskih. 7 I çuo sam glas koji mi rekao: ‘Ustani Petre, kolji i jedi!’ 8 A ja kaœem: ‘Ne nikako, Gospodine, jer nikada nisam jeo niæta prosto i neçisto.’ 9 Nato mi po drugi put rekao glas s neba: ‘Ono æto je Bog oçistio, ti ne nazivaj prostim!’ (neçistim) 10 To se ponovilo tri puta, i odmah sve bi uzneseno na nebo. 11 I, evo, odmah se poslije toga tri çovjeka, poslana iz Cezareje po mene, pojave pred kuøom u kojoj sam bio. 12 Tada mi rekao Duh da poåem ne sumnjajuøi niæta. Pratila su me i ova æestorica braøe kad smo uæli u kuøu spomenutog çovjeka. 13 On nam tada ispripovjedio kako je u kuøi svojoj vidio anåela koji je stao pred njega i rekao: ‘Poæalji ljude u Jopu i dozovi Æimuna, koji se zove Petar: 14 On øe ti priopøiti rijeçi koje øe spasiti tebe i svemu tvojemu domu.’ 15 I kad sam poçeo govoriti, siåe na njih Duh Sveti kao i na nas u poçetku. 16 Tada sam se sjetio rijeçi Gospodina: kako je On rekao, ‘Ivan je uistinu krstio vodom, a vi øete biti kræteni Duhom Svetim.’ 17 Ako im je, dakle, Bog dao isti dar kao i nama, koji vjerujemo u Gospodina Isusa Krista, tko sam ja da se oduprem Bogu?” 18 Kad su to çuli, primirili su se te poçeli slaviti Boga govoreøi: “Dakle, i neznaboæcima je Bog dao pokajanje koje vodi u œivot!” 19 A oni koji su bili raspræeni poslije progonstva æto je izbilo zbog Stjepana i stiglo do Fenicije,

Now about that time Herod the king stretched out his hand to harass some from the church. 2 Then he killed James the brother of John with the sword. 3 And because he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to seize Peter also. Now it was during the Days of Unlea-vened Bread. 4 So when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four squads of soldiers to keep him, intending to bring him before the people after Passover. 5 Peter was therefore kept in prison, but constant prayer was offered to God for him by the church. 6 And when Herod was about to bring him out, that night Peter was sleeping, bound with two chains between two soldiers; and the guards before the door were keeping the prison. 7 Now behold, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the prison; and he struck Peter on the side and raised him up, saying, “Arise quickly!” And his chains fell off his hands. 8 Then the angel said to him, “Gird yourself and tie on your sandals”; and so he did. And he said to him, “Put on your garment and follow me.” 9 So he went out and followed him, and did not know that what was done by the angel was real, but thought he was seeing a vision. 10 When they were past the first and the second guard posts, they came to the iron gate that leads to the city, which opened to them of its own accord; and they went out and went down one street, and immediately the angel departed from him. 11 And when Peter had come to himself, he said, “Now I know for certain that the Lord has sent his angel, and has delivered me from the hand of Herod and from all the expectation of the Jewish people.” 12 So, when he had considered this, he came to the

U ono vrijeme kralj Herod je poçeo zlostavljati neke çlanove crkve. 2 I on tada maçem pogubi Ivanova brata Jakova. 3 Kako je vidio da je to drago Œidovima, on produœi te uhvati i Petra. Bilo je to upravo u vrijeme Svetkovine beskvasnih kruhova. 4 I nakon æto je on njega uhvatio, baci ga u zatvor predajuøi ga straœama, svaka po çetiri vojnika, da ga çuvaju; jer je bio naumio da ga poslije svetkovine Pashe izvede pred narod. 5 Tako, dok su Petra çuvali u zatvoru, crkva je neprestano molila Boga za njega. 6 A kad ga je Herod upravo mislio izvesti, Petar je spavao te noøi, okovan u dvoje lance meåu dvojicom vojnika, a straœari su pred vratima çuvali zatvor. 7 I gle, najedanput se pojavi anåeo Gospodinov i svjetlo obasja øeliju. Anåeo kucnuo Petra u rebra i probudi ga govoreøi: “Ustani brzo!” A lanci mu veø spali s ruku. 8 Tada mu anåeo rekao: “Opaæi se i obuj sandale svoje!” Petar je uçinio tako. I anåeo mu rekao dalje: “Odjeni ogrtaç svoj i poåi za mnom!” 9 Petar je iziæao i poæao za njim. Nije znao da je taj doœivljaj s anåelom stvarnost; mislio je da vidi utvaru. 10 Kada su oni proæli prvu i drugu straœu, doæli su k œeljeznim vratima koja vode u grad, a koja im se sama od sebe otvorila. Te su oni izaæli i tek æto su proæli jednu ulicu, anåeo se odmah udaljio od njega. 11 A kad je Petar doæao k sebi, reçe: “Sada uistinu znam da je Bog poslao svojega anåela, i on me je izbavio iz ruke Herodove i od svega onoga æto je oçekivao narod œidovski.”

Now in the church that was at Antioch there were certain prophets and tea-chers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. 2 As they ministered to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, “Now separate to me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.” 3 Then, having fasted and prayed, and laid hands on them, they sent them away. 4 So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia, and from there they sailed to Cyprus. 5 And when they arrived in Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. They also had John as their assistant. 6 Now when they had gone through the island to Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew whose name was Bar-jesus, 7 who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. This man called for Barnabas and Saul and sought to hear the word of God. 8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so his name is translated) withstood them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith.

Slanje Savla Barnabe

Tada je u antiohijskoj crkvi bilo nekih proroka i uçitelja, a to su bili: Barnaba, Æimun zvani Niger, Lucije Cirenac, Manahen, koji je odgojen zajedno s Herodom, tetrarhom, i Savao. 2 Kad su jedanput obavljali sluœbu Boœju Gospodinu i postili, Duh Sveti je rekao: “Odvojite mi sada Barnabu i Savla za djelo za koje sam ih odredio.” 3 Tada, poæto su postili i molili, poloœili su ruke na njih te ih pustili. 4 Oni, dakle, poslani od Duha Svetoga, siåu u Seleuciju i odatle otplove na Cipar. 5 Kad su stigli u Salaminu, propovijedali su rijeç Boœju u œidovskim sinagogama. Imali su joæ uza se Ivana za pomoønika. 6 Kad su proæli sav otok do Pafa, gdje se namjere na nekog vraçara, laœnog œidovskog proroka, ime mu je bilo Barjesus, 7 a pripadao je krugu prokonzula Sergija Pavla, umna çovjeka. Ovaj dozva k sebi Barnabu i Savla i zaœeli da çuje rijeç Boœju. 8 Ali im se suprotstavi Elima, vraçar, jer to znaçi ime njegovo, nastojeøi prokonzula odvratiti od vjere.

Now it happened in Iconium that they went together to the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke that a great multitude both of the Jews and of the Greeks believed. 2 But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brethren. 3 Therefore they stayed there a long time, speaking boldly in the Lord, who was bearing witness to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands. 4 But the multitude of the city was divided: part sided with the Jews, and part with the apostles. 5 And when a violent attempt was made by both the Gentiles and Jews, with their rulers, to abuse and

Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews. 2 Then Paul, as his custom was, went in to them, and for three Sabbaths reasoned with them from the Scriptures, 3 explaining and demonstrating that the Christ had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and saying, “This Jesus whom I preach to you is the Christ.” 4 And some of them were persuaded; and a great multitude of the devout Greeks, and not a few of the leading women, joined Paul and Silas. 5 But the Jews who were not persuaded, becoming envious, took some of the evil men from the marketplace, and gathering a mob, set all the city in an uproar and attacked the house of Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people. 6 But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some brethren to the rulers of the city, crying out, “These who have turned the world upside down have come here too. 7 “Jason has harbored them, and these are all acting contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying there is another king–Jesus.” 8 And they troubled the crowd and the rulers of the city when they heard these things. 9 So when they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go. 10 Then the brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea. When they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so. 12 Therefore many of them believed, and also not a few of the Greeks, prominent women as well as men. 13 But when the Jews from Thessalonica learned that the word of God was preached by Paul at Berea, they came there also and stirred up the crowds. 14 Then immediately the brethren sent Paul away, to go to the sea; but both Silas and Timothy remained there. 15 So those who conducted Paul brought him to Athens; and receiving a command for Silas and Timothy to come to him with all speed, they departed. 16 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him when he saw that the

Svi ovi ljudi rade protiv carskih odredaba tvrdeøi da ima drugi kralj–Isus.” 8 Tako su uzbudili narod i gradske glavare kad su to çuli. 9 Ovi su ih otpustili poæto su dobili jamçevinu od Jasona i drugih. 10 A braøa tada odmah noøu poslali Pavla i Silu u Bereju. Oni, kad su doæli u grad, poåu u œidovsku sinagogu. 11 Ovi su Œidovi bili plemenitiji od onih u Solunu, u tomu æto su primili rijeç Boœju sasvim spremno, svaki dan istraœujuøi Pisma je li to tako. 12 I tako su prihvatili vjeru mnogi od njih, a od Grka priliçan broj uglednih œena i muœeva. 13 Ali kad su solunski Œidovi saznali da Pavao u Bereji navjeæøuje rijeç Boœju, doæli su i oni tamo te uznemirili i uzbunili svjetinu. 14 Tada braøa odmah poæalju Pavla odande, da ide prema moru. A Sila i Timotej ostali su tamo. 15 A oni koji su pratili Pavla doveli su ga u Atenu, odakle su se vratili noseøi za Silu i Timoteja zapovijed da æto prije doåu k njemu. 16 Dok ih je Pavao oçekivao u Ateni, silno se razdraœio duh u njemu, promatrajuøi grad pun

Jedni su pitali: “Æto bi ovaj encountered him. And some said, “What does this brbljavac htio reøi?” A drugi su govorili, jer je babbler want to say?” Others said, “He seems to be navjeæøivao kao Radosnu vijest Isusovu i uskra proclaimer of foreign gods,” because he preached snuøe: “Çini se da propovijeda tuåe bogove.” 19 Nato ga uzeli sobom i doveli na Areopag, to them Jesus and the resurrection. 19 And they took him and brought him to the Areopa- gdje ga upitali: “Moœemo li znati kakva je to gus, saying, “May we know what this new doctrine is nova nauka koju propovijedaæ? 20 Jer ti nam donosiæ neæto nepoznato i time of which you speak? 20 “For you are bringing some strange things to our puniæ naæe uæi.

After these things Paul departed from Athens and went to Corinth. 2 And he found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla (because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome); and he came to them. 3 So, because he was of the same trade, he stayed with them and worked; for by occupation they were tentmakers. 4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath,

After the uproar had ceased, Paul called the disciples to him, embraced them, and departed to go to Macedonia. 2 Now when he had gone over that region and encouraged them with many words, he came to Greece 3 and stayed three months. And when the Jews plotted against him as he was about to sail to Syria, he decided to return through Macedonia. 4 And Sopater of Berea accompanied him to Asia– also Aristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia. 5 These men, going ahead, waited for us at Troas.

Kad se je buna stiæala, Pavao je dozvao k sebi uçenike, zagrlio ih, oprostio se s njima i otputovao u Makedoniju. 2 Poæto je proæao one krajeve i opominjao i pouçavao braøu mnogim govorima, doæao je u Grçku, 3 gdje ostane tri mjeseca. Kako su mu Œidovi, dok se upravo spremao da otplovi u Siriju, postavili zasjedu, odluçi se tamo vratiti preko Makedonije. 4 Iduøi u Aziju pridruœili mu se: Sopater iz Bereje; Aristarh i Sekund iz Soluna; Gaj iz Derbe i Timotej; Tihik i Trofim iz Azije.

Now it happened, that when we had departed from them and set sail, running a straight course we came to Cos, the following day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara. 2 And finding a ship sailing over to Phoenicia, we went aboard and set sail. 3 When we had sighted Cyprus, we passed it on the left, sailed to Syria, and landed at Tyre; for there the ship was to unload her cargo. 4 And finding disciples, we stayed there seven days. They told Paul through the Spirit not to go up to Jerusalem. 5 When we had come to the end of those days, we departed and went on our way; and they all accompanied us, with wives and children, till we were out of the city. And we knelt down on the shore and prayed. 6 When we had taken our leave of one another, we boarded the ship, and they returned home. 7 And when we had finished our voyage from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, greeted the brethren, and stayed with them one day. 8 On the next day we who were Paul’s companions departed and came to Caesarea, and entered the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him. 9 Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied. 10 And as we stayed many days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea. 11 When he had come to us, he took Paul’s belt, bound his own hands and feet, and said, “Thus says the Holy Spirit, ‘So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man who owns this belt, and deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.’ ” 12 And when we heard these things, both we and those from that place pleaded with him not to go up to Jerusalem. 13 Then Paul answered, “What do you mean by weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.” 14 So when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, “The will of the Lord be done.” 15 And after those days we packed and went up to

Nakon toga, poæto smo se od njih otrgnuli, zaplovili smo. Ploveøi ravno, stigli smo u Kos, a sutradan u Rod i odande u Pataru. 2 Tu smo naæli laåu æto polazi u Feniciju, uæli smo u nju i otplovili smo. 3 Kad smo stigli na pogled Cipra, ostavili smo ga na lijevo te smo otplovili u Siriju i pristali u Tiru, jer je tu laåa morala iskrcati teret. 4 Potraœili smo i naæli uçenike te smo ostali tamo sedam dana. Oni su, potaknuti od Duha, govorili Pavlu da ne uzlazi u Jeruzalem. 5 Ali kad isteçe vrijeme naæega boravka, otiæli smo odande te krenuli u pratnji svih njih, ukljuçujuøi œene i djecu, dok nismo izaæli izvan grada. Tu smo kleçeøi na obali molili. 6 Zatim smo se oprostili jedni s drugima. Ukrcali se na brod, a oni se pak vratili kuøama. 7 Zavræavajuøi tako plovidbu, iz Tira smo stigli u Ptolemaidu, gdje smo pozdravili braøu i ostali kod njih jedan dan. 8 A sutradan mi iz Pavlova druætva otputovali smo i doæli smo u Cezareju, gdje smo uæli u kuøu Filipa evanåelista, jednog iz kruga Sedmorice, te smo ostali kod njega. 9 On je imao çetiri køeri djevice koje su proricale. 10 Kako smo ondje duœe vremena boravili, doæao je iz Judeje neki prorok po imenu Agab. 11 Kada nas je posjetio, uzeo je Pavlov pojas, svezao sebi ruke i noge te rekao: ‘Ovako govori Duh Sveti: Ovako øe çovjeka çiji je ovo pojas u Jeruzalemu svezati Œidovi i predati ga u ruke neznaboæcima.’ ” 12 A kad smo mi to çuli, poçeli smo s mjeætanima moliti Pavla da ne ulazi u Jeruzalem. 13 Nato je Pavao odgovorio: “Zaæto plaçete i mekæate mi srce? Ja sam spreman ne samo biti svezan nego i umrijeti u Jeruzalemu za ime Gospodina Isusa.” 14 Kako ga nismo mogli odvratiti, odustali smo govoreøi: “Neka bude volja Gospodinova!” 15 Poslije toga vremena spremili smo se za put

“Men, brethren, and fathers, hear my defense before you now.” 2 And when they heard that he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, they kept all the more silent. Then he said: 3 “I am indeed a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, taught according to the strictness of our fathers’ law, and was zealous toward God as you all are today. 4 “I persecuted this Way to the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women, 5 “as also the high priest bears me witness, and all the council of the elders, from whom I also received letters to the brethren, and went to Damascus to bring in chains even those who were there to Jerusalem to be punished. 6 “Now it happened, as I journeyed and came near Damascus at about noon, suddenly a great light from heaven shone around me. 7 “And I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?’ 8 “So I answered, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ And he said to me, ‘I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting.’ 9 “Now those who were with me indeed saw the light and were afraid, but they did not hear the voice of him who spoke to me. 10 “So I said, ‘What shall I do, Lord?’ And the Lord said to me, ‘Arise and go into Damascus, and there you will be told all things which are appointed for you to do.’ 11 “And since I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of those who were with me, I came into Damascus. 12 “Then one, Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a good testimony with all the Jews who dwelt there, 13 “came to me; and he stood and said to me, ‘Brother Saul, receive your sight.’ And at that same hour I looked up at him. 14 “Then he said, ‘The God of our fathers has chosen you that you should know his will, and see the Just One, and hear the voice of his mouth. 15 ‘For you will be his witness to all men of what you have seen and heard. 16 ‘And now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.’ 17 “Then it happened, when I returned to Jerusalem and was praying in the temple, that I was in a trance 18 “and saw him saying to me, ‘Make haste and get out of Jerusalem quickly, for they will not receive your testimony concerning me.’ 19 “So I said, ‘Lord, they know that in every synagogue I imprisoned and beat those who believe on you. 20 ‘And when the blood of your martyr Ste-phen was shed, I also was standing by consenting to his death, and guarding the clothes of those who were killing

“Ljudi braøo i oçevi, posluæajte æto vam sada imam reøi u svoju obranu!” 2 Kada su oni çuli da im govori hebrejskim jezikom, joæ su viæe uæutjeli. A Pavao nastavi: 3 Ja sam zaista Œidov, roåen u Tarsu, u Ciliciji, a odrastao u ovom gradu, do nogu Gamalielovih toçno pouçen po Zakonu naæih otaca. Bio sam revan za Boga, kao æto ste svi vi danas. 4 Ja sam na taj naçin progonio na smrt, veœuøi u lance i predajuøi u tamnice ljude i œene. 5 To mi moœe posvjedoçiti visoki sveøenik i starjeæinsko vijeøe. Od njih sam i pismo primio za braøu u Damasku te se zaputio da i one koji su tamo svezane dovedem u Jeruzalem da budu kaœnjeni. 6 Dok sam tako putovao i pribliœio se Damasku oko podne, odjedanput oko mene obasja s neba velika svjetlost. 7 A ja sam pao na zemlju i çuo glas gdje mi govori: ‘Savle, Savle, zaæto me progoniæ?’ 8 A ja odvratim: ‘Tko si ti, Gospodine?’ A On mi rekao: ‘Ja sam Isus Nazareøanin, kojega ti progoniæ.’ 9 Moji su pratioci zaista vidjeli svjetlo i bili su prestraæeni, ali nisu çuli glasa onoga koji mi je govorio. 10 Tada reknem: ‘Æto da çinim, Gospodine?’ A Gospodin mi odgovorio: ‘Ustani i nastavi put u Damask pa øe ti se tamo reøi sve æto ti je odreåeno çiniti!’ 11 Ali kako sam obnevidio od sjaja onoga svjetla, moji su me pratioci poveli za ruku te smo tako stigli u Damask. 12 Neki Ananija, vjeran vræitelj Zakona, koji je uœivao dobar glas meåu svima tamoænjim Œidovima, 13 doæao k meni, pribliœio mi se i rekao: ‘Brate Savle, progledaj!’ I ja sam u taj isti ças pogledao u njega. 14 A on mi rekao: ‘Bog otaca naæih izabrao te da upoznaæ njegovu volju, da vidiæ Pravednika i da razumijeæ glas iz usta njegovih, 15 jer øeæ mu biti svjedok pred svim ljudima za ono æto si vidio i çuo. 16 A sada, na æto joæ çekaæ?

Then Paul, looking earnestly at the council, said, “Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day.” 2 And the high priest Ananias commanded those who stood by him to strike him on the mouth. 3 Then Paul said to him, “God will strike you, you whitewashed wall! For you sit to judge me according to the law, and do you command me to be struck contrary to the law?” 4 And those who stood by said, “Do you revile God’s high priest?” 5 Then Paul said, “I did not know, brethren, that he was the high priest; for it is written, ‘You shall not speak evil of the ruler of your people.’ ” 6 But when Paul perceived that one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, “Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee; concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am being judged!” 7 And when he had said this, a dissension arose between the Pharisees and the Sad-ducees; and the assembly was divided. 8 For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection–and no angel or spirit; but the Pharisees confess both. 9 Then there arose a loud outcry. And the scribes who were of the Pharisees’ party arose and protested, saying, “We find no evil in this man; but if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him, let us not fight against God.” 10 And when there arose a great dissension, the commander, fearing lest Paul might be pulled to pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him by force from among them, and bring him into the barracks. 11 But the following night the Lord stood by him and said, “Be of good cheer, Paul; for as you have testified for me in Jerusalem, so you must also bear wit-

Pavao pred visokim vijeøem

Pavao uperio pogled u Vijeøe i rekao: “Ljudi i braøo, ja sam œivio s posve çistom savjeæøu pred Bogom do ovoga dana.” 2 Nato visoki sveøenik Ananija zapovjedi onima koji su bili kraj njega da ga udare po ustima. 3 Tada mu rekao Pavao: “Tebe øe udariti Bog, obijeljeni zide! Ti sjediæ tu te mi sudiæ po Zakonu, a protiv Zakona zapovjedaæ da me udaraju!” 4 Odgovore mu nato prisutni: “Æto, ti grdiæ visokoga Boœjega sveøenika?” 5 Pavao je odgovorio: “Nisam znao, braøo, da je on visoki sveøenik. Stoji, naime, napisano: ‘Ne govori zlo o poglavaru svojega naroda!’ ” 6 Zatim Pavao znajuøi da je jedan dio sastavljen od saduceja, a drugi od farizeja, glasno je povikao u Vijeøu: “Ljudi i braøo, ja sam farizej, potomak farizeja. Zbog nade u uskrsnuøe mrtvih meni se sudi.” 7 Kada je on to tako rekao, nastalo prepiranje izmeåu farizeja i saduceja, te se skupætina podijelila. 8 saduceji, naime, tvrde da nema ni uskrsnuøa, ni anåela, ni duha, a farizeji to sve priznaju. 9 Tako je nastala velika vika. Ustali su neki pismoznanci farizejske stranke te se odluçno suprotstavili govoreøi: “Mi ne nalazimo nikakva zla na ovomu çovjeku. A æto ako mu je govorio duh ili anåeo, ne svaåajmo se protiv Boga.” 10 I tada nastane velika nesloga i svaåa, pa se zapovjednik pobojao da Pavla ne rastrgaju na komade. Stoga zapovjedi vojnicima da siåu pa da ga otmu izmeåu njih i opet odvedu u dvorsku vojarnu. 11 Sljedeøe noøi Gospodin se ukazao Pavlu i rekao mu: “Budi hrabar! Pavle, kao æto si za

Then Agrippa said to Paul, “You are permitted to speak for yourself.” So Paul stretched out his hand and answered for himself: 2 “I think myself happy, King Agrippa, because today I shall answer for myself before you concerning all the things of which I am accused by the Jews, 3 “especially because you are expert in all customs and questions which have to do with the Jews. Therefore I beg you to hear me patiently. 4 “My manner of life from my youth, which was spent from the beginning among my own nation at Jerusalem, all the Jews know. 5 “They knew me from the first, if they were willing to testify, that according to the strictest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee. 6 “And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers. 7 “To this promise our twelve tribes, earnestly serving God night and day, hope to attain. For this hope’s sake, King Agrippa, I am accused by the Jews. 8 “Why should it be thought incredible by you that God raises the dead? 9 “Indeed, I myself thought I must do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth. 10 “This I also did in Jerusalem, and many of the saints I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I cast my vote against them. 11 “And I punished them often in every synagogue and compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly enraged against them, I persecuted them even to foreign cities. 12 “While thus occupied, as I journeyed to Damas-

Tada je Agripa rekao Pavlu: “Dopuæta ti se da sam sebe poçneæ braniti.” Tada je Pavao ispruœio ruku i poçeo svoju obranu: 2 Kralju Agripa, ja se osjeøam sretnim æto se danas sam mogu pred tobom braniti od svega za æto me optuœuju Œidovi, 3 pogotovo æto znam da ti dobro poznajeæ œidovske obiçaje i njihova prepiranja. Zato te molim da me strpljivo posluæaæ. 4 Kakav je bio moj œivot od rane mladosti koji sam proveo u svojemu narodu, i to u Jeruzalemu, znaju svi Œidovi. 5 Oni me od poçetka poznaju i mogu, ako hoøe, posvjedoçiti da sam kao farizej œivio po najstroœem Zakonu naæe vjere. 6 I sada stojim pred sudom zbog nade u obeøanje koje je Bog uputio naæim oçevima. 7 Ispunjenje ovoga obeøanja nada se postiøi naæih dvanaest plemena, koja ustrajno, noø i dan, sluœe Bogu. Upravo me zbog te nade, kralju, tuœe Œidovi. 8 Ima li po vaæem sudu neæto nevjerojatno u tom da Bog uskrsava mrtve? 9 Ja sam doista nekoø mislio da sam duœan djelovati protiv imena Isusa Nazareøanina. 10 To sam i çinio u Jeruzalemu. Ja sam osobno mnoge svete zatvarao u tamnice, poæto sam na to od visokih sveøenika bio ovlaæten, a kad su bili osuåivani na smrt, za to dao svoj glas. 11 Po svim sinagogama prisiljavao sam ih, viæe puta kaœnjavanjem, da izgovaraju grdnje protiv

Now when they had escaped, they then found out that the island was called Malta. 2 And the natives showed us unusual kindness; for they kindled a fire and made us all welcome, because of the rain that was falling and because of the cold. 3 But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat, and fastened on his hand. 4 So when the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped the sea, yet justice does not allow to live.” 5 But he shook off the creature into the fire and suffered no harm. 6 However, they were expecting that he would swell up or suddenly fall down dead; but after they had looked for a long time and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god.

THE EPISLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE

Rimljanima POSLANICA APOSTOLA PAVLA

Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated to the gospel of God 2 which he promised before through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures, 3 concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh, 4 and declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead, 5 through whom we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith among all nations for his name, 6 among whom you also are the called of Jesus Christ; 7 To all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world. 9 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers, 10 making request if, by some means, now at last I may find a way in the will of God to come to you. 11 For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, so that you may be established– 12 that is, that I may be encouraged together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me. 13 Now I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that I often planned to come to you (but was hindered until now), that I might have some fruit among you also, just as among the other Gentiles. 14 I am a debtor both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to wise and to unwise. 15 So, as much as is in me, I am ready to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome also. 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.” 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. 20 For since the creation of the world his invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew God, they did not

Pavao, sluga Isusa Krista, pozvan za apostola, odreåen za Radosnu vijest Boœju, 2 koju je Bog unaprijed obeøao po svojim prorocima u Svetim pismima, 3 o svojemu Sinu Isusu Kristu, naæem Gospodinu, koji je tjelesno roåen od potomstva Davidova 4 i koji se uskrsnuøem od mrtvih, po Duhu Svetom, pokazao Sinom Boœjim, sa svom vlaæøu: Isus Krist, naæ Gospodin, 5 po kojem smo primili milost i apostolstvo, da na slavu imena njegova k posluænosti vjere privodimo sve narode, 6 meåu kojima ste i vi pozvani da budete pripadnici Isusa Krista; 7 Svima u Rimu, ljubljenicima Boœjim, pozvanima da budu sveti. Milost vam i mir od Boga, Oca naæega, i Gospodina Isusa Krista. 8 Prije svega zahvaljujem Bogu svojemu po Isusu Kristu za sve vas æto se vjera vaæa hvali po cijelom svijetu. 9 Bog, kojemu svom duæom sluœim navjeæøujuøi Radosnu vijest njegova Sina, svjedok mi je da vas se neprestano svaki put sjetim u svojim molitvama, 10 i molim da bi mi napokon jedanput, ako je volja Boœja, uspjelo doøi k vama. 11 Jer ja vas œelim vidjeti, da vam udijelim dar Duha Svetoga, tako da ojaçate– 12 to jest, da se ohrabrim kod vas i zajedno s vama zajedniçkom vjerom vaæom i mojom. 13 Htio bih da znate, braøo, da sam viæe puta odluçio doøi k vama, ali sam do sada bio sprijeçen, da i meåu vama isto tako uberem koji plod kao i meåu ostalim neznaboæcima. 14 Ja sam duœnik i Grcima i barbarima, i mudrima i nerazumnima. 15 Zato je moja œelja da propovijedam Radosnu vijest i vama, stanovnicima Rima. 16 Jer ja se ne stidim Radosne vijesti Kristove, jer je ona sila Boœja za spasenje svakomu tko vjeruje, kako, u prvom redu Œidovu, tako i Grku. 17 Jer u njemu se otkriva pravednost Boœja, iz vjere u vjeru, kao æto stoji napisano: “Pravednik øe œivjeti od vjere.” 18 Jer s neba se zaista otkriva gnjev Boœji protiv svake bezboœnosti i nepravednosti ljudi koji istinu spreçavaju s nepravednoæøu. 19 Jer njima je poznato ono æto se moœe doznati o Bogu, jer im je to Bog objavio. 20 Uistinu, njegova nevidljiva svojstva, çisto se opaœaju od postanka svijeta, njegova vjeçna

Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whoever you are who judge, for in whatever you judge another you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things. 2 But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things. 3 And do you think this, O man, you who judge those practicing such things, and doing the same, that you will escape the judgment of God? 4 Or do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance? 5 But in accordance with your hardness and your impenitent heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, 6 who will render to each one according to his deeds: 7 eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality; 8 but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness –indignation and wrath, 9 tribulation and anguish, on every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek; 10 but glory, honor, and peace to everyone who works what is good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 11 For there is no partiality with God. 12 For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without law, and as many as have sinned in the law will be judged by the law

What advantage then has the Jew, or what is the profit of circumcision? 2 Much in every way! Chiefly because to them were committed the oracles of God. 3 For what if some did not believe? Will their unbelief make the faithfulness of God without effect? 4 Certainly not! Indeed, let God be true but every man a liar. As it is written: “That you may be justified in your words, and may overcome when you are judged.” 5 But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unjust who inflicts wrath? (I speak as a man.) 6 Certainly not! For then how will God judge the world? 7 For if the truth of God has increased through my lie to his glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner? 8 And why not say, “Let us do evil that good may come”?–as we are slanderously reported and as some affirm that we say. Their condemnation is just. 9 What then? Are we better than they? Not at all. For we have previously charged both Jews and Greeks that they are all under sin. 10 As it is written: “There is none righteous, no, not

Opravdanje vjerom u Isusa Krista

Kakva je dakle prednost Œidova? Ili kakva je korist od obrezanja? 2 Velika u svakom pogledu! U glavnom, jer su im povjerene rijeçi Boœje. 3 Pa æto ako neki nisu vjerovali? Zar øe njihova nevjernost uniætiti Boœju vjernost? 4 Nipoæto! Nego neka Bog bude istinit, a svaki çovjek laœac, kao æto je napisano: “Da opravdaæ u svojim rijeçima i da pobijediæ kad te sude.” 5 Ali ako naæa nepravednost istiçe pravednost Boœju, æto øemo reøi? Zar je Bog nepravedan kad u srdœbi kazni? (Govorim kao çovjek.) 6 Nipoæto! Jer kako bi inaçe Bog sudio svijetu? 7 Ali ako je zbilja Boœja istina poveøana po mojoj laœljivosti njemu na slavu, zaæto da joæ budem suåen kao grjeænik? 8 Zaæto onda ne reknemo: “Çinimo zlo da bude doælo dobro,” kako nam neki klevetnici pripisuju i tvrde da mi to nauçavamo? Oni imaju pravednu osudu. 9 Æto onda? Zar smo mi bolji od njih? Nipoæto, jer smo veø dokazali da su svi, i Œidovi i Grci pod grijehom,

What then shall we say that Abraham our father has found according to the flesh? 2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something of which to boast, but not before God. 3 For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” 4 Now to him who works, the wages are not counted as grace but as debt. 5 But to him who does not work but believes on him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness, 6 just as David also describes the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness apart from works: 7 “Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered; 8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord shall not impute sin.” 9 Does this blessedness then come upon the circumcised only, or upon the uncircu-mcised also? For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness.

Æto øemo dakle reøi da je Abraham, naæ praotac, postigao po tijelu? 2 Jer ako je Abraham opravdan po djelima, ima se çime ponositi, ali ne pred Bogom. 3 Æto govori Pismo? “Vjerovao je Abraham Bogu, zato mu se to uraçunalo u pravednost.” 4 A onomu koji radi ne raçuna se plaøa po milosti, veø po dugu; 5 Dok se onomu koji ne radi, a vjeruje u onoga koji opravdava bezboœnika, njegova vjera uraçunava u pravednost, 6 isto kao æto i David proglaæuje blagoslovljenim onoga komu Bog uraçunava pravednost neovisno od djela; 7 Blagoslovljeni su oni kojima su oproætena bezakonja i pokriveni grijesi. 8 Blagoslovljen je çovjek kojemu Gospodin neøe uraçunati grijeha.” 9 Je li se dakle taj blagoslov za obrezane ili za neobrezane? Jer kaœemo da se Abrahamu vjera uraçunala u pravednost. 10 A kako mu se uraçunala? Dok je bio obre-

Not while circum- rezan, veø dok je bio neobrezan. 11 I on primi znak obrezanja, kao peçat pravecised, but while uncircumcised. 11 And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of dnosti koja dolazi od vjere koju je postigao joæ the righteousness of the faith which he had while still kad je bio neobrezan, tako da s neobrezanjem uncircumcised, that he might be the father of all bude otac svih onih koji vjeruju, kako bi se i those who believe, though they are uncircum-cised, njima uraçunala pravednost, iako su nethat righteousness might be imputed to them also, obrezani, 12 and the father of circumcision to those who not 12 i da bude otac obrezanih i onima koji nisu only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the samo od obrezanih, veø isto i onima koji idu steps of the faith which our father Abraham had while stopama vjere naæega oca Abrahama koju je on imao joæ dok je bio neobrezan. still uncircum-cised. 13 For the promise that he would be the heir of the 13 Jer obeøanje Abrahamu da øe biti baætinik world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the svijeta nije dano njemu ili njegovom potomstvu zavisno od Zakona, veø kroz pravednost vjere. law, but through the righteousness of faith. 14 For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is 14 Jer ako su baætinici samo oni od Zakona vjera je poniætena, a obeøanje je izvan snage, made void and the promise made of no effect, 15 because the law brings about wrath; for where 15 jer Zakon donosi gnjev, a gdje nema Zakona tu nema ni prekræaja! there is no law there is no transgression. 16 Therefore it is of faith that it might be according to 16 Stoga, baætinici postaju vjerom da bi moglo grace, so that the promise might be sure to all the biti po milosti, tako da obeøanje bude utvråeno seed, not only to those who are of the law, but also to svemu potomstvu, ne samo onima od Zakona, those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the nego i onima koji su od vjere Abrahamove, koji je otac svih nas, father of us all, 17 (as it is written, “I have made you a father of many 17 (kao æto stoji napisano: “Uçinio sam te ocem nations”) in the presence of him whom he believed, mnogim narodima”) pred onim kojemu je even God, who gives life to the dead and calls those povjerovao, samom Bogu, onomu koji oœivljuje mrtve i zove stvari koje ne postoje kao da posthings which do not exist as though they did; 18 who, contrary to hope, in hope believed, so that toje. he became the father of many nations, according to 18 On protivno nadi, u nadu povjerova, da poswhat was spoken, “So shall your descendants be.” tane ocem mnogih naroda, prema onomu æto je 19 And not being weak in faith, he did not consider reçeno: “Takvo øe biti tvoje potomstvo.” his own body, already dead (since he was about a 19 I nije oslabio u vjeri, on ne pogleda ni na hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s svoje veø umoreno tijelo (jer mu je veø bilo negdje oko stotinu godina), niti obumrlost Sawomb. 20 He did not waver at the promise of God through rine utrobe, unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory 20 Nije posumnjao u Boœje obeøanje s nevjerom, nego se ojaçao vjerom, dajuøi slavu Bogu. to God, 21 and being fully convinced that what he had prom- 21 On je bio potpuno uvjeren da je Bog u stanju izvræiti ono æto je obeøao. ised he was also able to perform. 22 And therefore “it was accounted to him for right- 22 Zato se njemu to i uraçuna u pravednost. 23 Ali nije samo za njega napisano uraçuna mu eousness.” 23 Now it was not written for his sake alone that it se u pravednost, 24 nego i za nas. Uraçunat øe se nama koji vjewas imputed to him, 24 but also for us. It shall be imputed to us who be- rujemo u onoga koji je uskrsnuo od mrtvih nalieve in him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the æega Gospodina Isusa, 25 koji je bio predan zbog naæih grijeha i koji je dead, 25 who was delivered up because of our offenses, uskrsnuo zbog naæega opravdanja. and was raised because of our justification.

Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; 4 and perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us. 6 For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates his own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, having now been justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

Plodovi opravdanja. Adam i Isus

Poæto smo opravdani vjerom, u miru smo s Bogom po naæem Gospodinu Isusu Kristu, 2 po komu smo i priæli s vjerom k ovoj milosti u kojoj stojimo i radujemo se u nadi slave Boœje. 3 Ali ne samo to, nego da se ponosimo i nevoljama, svjesni da nevolja donosi strpljivost, 4 a strpljivost prokuæanost, a prokuæanost nadu. 5 A nada ne razoçarava, jer je ljubav Boœja izlivena u naæim srcima po Duhu Svetom koji nam je dan. 6 Krist je, dok smo joæ bili slabi, umro u pravo vrijeme za nas bezboœnike. 7 Jer jedva tko umre za pravednika; a za dobroçinitelja moœda bi se tko usudio i umrijeti. 8 Ali Bog pokazuje svoju ljubav prema nama time æto je Krist, dok smo joæ bili grjeænici, umro za nas. 9 Koliko øe nas sigurnije spasiti od srdœbe sada kad smo veø opravdani njegovom krvlju. 10 Jer ako smo izmireni s Bogom smrøu njego-

Romans

-1214Rimljanima 10 For if when we were enemies we were reconciled va Sina dok smo joæ bili neprijatelji, mnogo to God through the death of his Son, much more, øemo se sigurnije, veø izmireni, spasiti njegohaving been reconciled, we shall be saved by his vim œivotom. 11 Ali ne samo to, veø se i radujemo u Bogu po life. 11 And not only that, but we also rejoice in God naæem Gospodinu Isusu Kristu, po kojemu through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we smo sada postigli izmirenje. 12 Stoga, kao æto po jednom çovjeku uåe grijeh have now received the reconciliation. 12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered u svijet a po grijehu smrt, tako smrt prijeåe na the world, and death through sin, and thus death sve ljude jer su svi sagrijeæili. 13 Jer joæ prije Zakona bio je grijeh u svijetu, ali spread to all men, because all sinned– 13 (For until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not se grijeh ne uraçunava kad nema Zakona. 14 Ali je smrt vladala od Adama do Mojsija çak imputed when there is no law. 14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Mo- i nad onima koji nisu sagrijeæili prekræajem ses, even over those who had not sinned according sliçnim Adamovu. Adam je slika onoga koji je to the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is imao doøi, 15 Ipak s darom milosti nije kao æto je s prekræaa type of him who was to come. 15 But the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the jem.

For the judgment which came from lazeøi od grijeha jednoga çovjeka dovodi k osone offense resulted in condemnation, but the free uåenju, dok dar milosti polazeøi od mnogih gift which came from many offenses resulted in jus- prekræaja dovodi k opravdanju. 17 Jer ako je prekræajem jednoga zavladala tification. 17 For if by the one man’s offense death reigned smrt, mnogo øe sigurnije oni koji primaju izobithrough the one, much more those who receive lje milosti i dar pravednosti vladati snagom œivabundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness ota po jednomu, Isusu Kristu. 18 Stoga, kao æto je prekræajem jednoga svim will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.) 18 Therefore, as through one man’s offense judg- ljudima na osudu, tako izvræenjem pravednosti ment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, jednoga dolazi na sve ljude opravdanje, sastoeven so through one Man’s righteous act the free gift jeøi se u œivotu. 19 Jer kao æto po neposluænosti jednoga çovjecame to all men, resulting in justification of life. 19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were ka mnogi su postali grjeænici, tako øe i po poslumade sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience ænosti jednoga mnogi postati pravednici. 20 Zakon je naknadno doæao da se poveøa many will be made righteous. 20 Moreover the law entered that the offense might prekræaj. Ali gdje se uveøa grijeh, tu se uveøa abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded milost mnogo viæe, 21 da bi, kao æto je grijeh vladao smrøu, tako i much more, 21 so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace milost vladala kroz pravednost za vjeçni œivot might reign through righteousness to eternal life kroz Isusa Krista Gospodina naæega. through Jesus Christ our Lord.

What shall we say then? Shall we con tinue in sin that grace may abound? 2 Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? 3 Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 Therefore we were buried with him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have been united together in the likeness of his death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of his resurrection, 6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. 7 For he who has died has been freed from sin. 8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him, 9 knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over him. 10 For the death that he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life that he lives, he lives to God. 11 Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord. 12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body,

Æto øemo dakle reøi? Da nastavimo u grijehu da se poveøa milost? 2 Nipoæto! Jer kako øemo mi, koji smo mrtvi grijehu, joæ œivjeti u njemu? 3 Ili ne znate da koji smo kræteni u Krista Isusa, u njegovu smo smrt kræteni? 4 Dakle, s njim smo zajedno pokopani po krætenju u smrt, da bi smo kao æto je Krist uskrsnuo od mrtvih Oçevom slavom, i mi œivjeli novim œivotom. 5 Jer ako smo dakle na taj naçin ujedinjeni s Kristovom smrøu, sigurno øemo biti isto na taj naçin ujedinjeni i s uskrsnuøem njegovim. 6 Ovo znamo: naæ je stari çovjek razapet zajedno s Isusom da se uniæti ovo grijeæno tijelo, tako da viæe ne robujemo grijehu. 7 Jer tko je mrtav, slobodan je od grijeha. 8 A ako smo dakle umrli s Kristom, vjerujemo da øemo i œivjeti s njime, 9 Jer znamo da Krist, koji je uskrsnuo od mrtvih, viæe ne umire; smrt nad njim viæe ne gospodari. 10 Njegova je smrt bila, jedanput zauvijek, smrt grijehu, a njegov œivot, œivot Bogu. 11 Tako i vi smatrajte sebe mrtvima grijehu, a œivima Bogu u Kristu Isusu! 12 Stoga neka viæe ne vlada grijeh u vaæem smrtnom tijelu, tako da sluæate njegove poœude. 13 Niti viæe davajte svojih udova kao oruœje nepravednosti u sluœbu grijeha!

Or do you not know, brethren (for I speak to those who know the law), that the law has dominion over a man as long as he lives? 2 For the woman who has a husband is bound by the law to her husband as long as he lives. But if the husband dies, she is released from the law of her husband. 3 So then if, while her husband lives, she marries another man, she will be called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from that law, so that she is no adulteress, though she has married another man. 4 Therefore, my brethren, you also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you may be married to another, even to him who was raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to God. 5 For when we were in the flesh, the passions of sins which were aroused by the law were at work in our members to bear fruit to death. 6 But now we have been delivered from the law, having died to what we were held by, so that we should serve in the newness of the Spirit and not in the oldness of the letter. 7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.” 8 But sin, taking opportunity by the commandment, produced in me all manner of evil desire. For apart from the law sin was dead. 9 I was alive once without the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died. 10 And the commandment, which was to bring life, I found to bring death. 11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it killed me.

Sloboda od Mojsijevog Zakona. Zakon i grijeh

7

Zar ne znate, braøo (govorim, naime, poznavateljima Zakona), da Zakon gospodari çovjekom tako dugo dok œivi? 2 Tako, œena koja ima muœa zakonom je vezana za muœa dokle ovaj œivi. Ali ako joj umre muœ, osloboåena je od zakona koji ju je vezao za muœa. 3 Zato dakle, ako postane œenom drugoga dok njezin muœ œivi, bit øe preljubnica; ali ako joj muœ umre, osloboåena je od zakona tako da ne bude preljubnicom ako postane œenom drugoga muœa. 4 Stoga ste i vi, braøo moja, umrli Zakonu kroz Kristovo tijelo, tako da moœete pripasti drugomu, çak onomu koji je uskrsnuo od mrtvih, da donesemo plod Bogu. 5 Jer dok smo bili u tijelu, grijeæne su strasti, Zakonom izazvane, djelovale u naæim udovima, tako da smo smrti donosili plodove. 6 A sada, umrli smo onomu koji nas je drœao u ropstvu, a postali smo slobodni od Zakona tako da sluœimo u novom duhu, a ne u starom slovu. 7 Æto øemo dakle onda reøi? Da je Zakon grijeh? Nipoæto! Ja ne bih upoznao grijeh, osim kroz Zakon, jer ne bih upoznao poœudu da Zakon nije rekao: “Ne poœeli tuåe!” 8 A grijeh, uhvativæi zgodu, proizvede pomoøu zapovijedi svaku vrstu poœuda u meni. Jer grijeh je bez Zakona bio mrtav. 9 Da, ja sam nekoø œivio bez Zakona. Ali kad je doæla zapovijed, grijeh je poçeo œivjeti a ja sam umro. 10 I pokazalo se da me je zapovijed koja je dana za œivot vodila u smrt. 11 Grijeh je, naime, uhvatio zgodu, zaveo me pomoøu zapovijedi i njom ubio. 12 Stoga: Zakon je bez sumnje svet, a zapovijed i sveta, i pravedna, i dobra.

Who will deliver me naæemu! Dakle: ja sa umom svojim sluœim Zakonu Boœjem, a tijelom zakonu grijeha. from this body of death? 25 I thank God–through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.

There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, 4 that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. 6 For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. 8 So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God. 9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not his. 10 And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you. 12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors–not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. 13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these

Œivot u milosti. Posinjenje Boœje

Sada dakle nema osude onima koji su u Kristu Isusu, koji ne hodaju po œeljama tijela, nego po Duhu. 2 Jer Zakon Duha œivota u Kristu Isusu oslobodio me od zakona grijeha i smrti. 3 Doista, ono æto Zakon nije mogao uçiniti, jer je bio oslabljen zbog tijela, uçinio je Bog poslavæi svojega vlastitog Sina u obliçju grijeænog tijela i osudio grijeh u tijelu, 4 da bi se ispunio pravedni zahtjev Zakona u nama koji ne œivimo po zahtjevu tijela nego po zahtjevu Duha. 5 Jer oni koji œive po tijelu teœe za onim æto je od tijela, a oni koji œive po Duhu teœe za onim æto je od Duha. 6 Jer teœnja tijela jest smrt, a teœnja Duha œivot i mir. 7 Zato je teœnja tijela neprijateljstvo prema Bogu, jer se ne pokorava Boœjem Zakonu niti to moœe. 8 Tako oni koji su u tijelu ne mogu ugoditi Bogu. 9 Ali vi niste u tijelu, veø ste u Duhu, ako je zbilja tako da Duh Boœji prebiva u vama. Tako, ako tko nema Kristova Duha, nije Kristov. 10 A ako je Krist u vama, vaæe je tijelo mrtvo zbog grijeha, a Duh je œivot zbog pravednosti. 11 Ako zbilja u vama stanuje Duh onoga koji je uskrsnuo Isusa od mrtvih, onaj koji je uskrsnuo Krista isto øe tako oœivjeti i vaæa smrtna tjelesa svojim Duhom koji stanuje u vama. 12 Stoga, braøo, nismo duœnici tijelu da bismo trebali œivjeti po tijelu. 13 Jer ako po tijelu œivite, umrijet øete, ali ako duhom usmrøujete tjelesna djela, œivjet øete. 14 Jer sve koje god vodi Duh Boœji, oni su sinovi Boœji.

I tell the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit, 2 that I have great sorrow and continual grief in my heart. 3 For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh, 4 who are Israelites, to whom pertain the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service of God, and the promises; 5 of whom are the fathers and from whom, according to the flesh, Christ came, who is over all, the eternally blessed God. Amen. 6 But it is not that the word of God has taken no effect. For they are not all Israel who are of Israel, 7 nor are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, “In Isaac your seed shall be called.” 8 That is, those who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted as the seed. 9 For this is the word of promise: “At this time I will come and Sarah shall have a son.” 10 And not only this, but when Rebecca also had conceived by one man, even by our father Isaac 11 (for the children not yet being born, nor having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works but of him who calls), 12 it was said to her, “The older shall serve the younger.” 13 As it is written, “Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated.” 14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? Certainly not! 15 For he says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion.” 16 So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy. 17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “Even for this same purpose I have raised you up, that I might show my power in you, and that My name might be declared in all the earth.” 18 Therefore he has mercy on whom he wills, and whom he wills he hardens. 19 You will say to me then, “Why does he still find fault? For who has resisted his will?” 20 But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed say to him who formed it, “Why have you made me like this?” 21 Does not the potter have power over the clay, from the same lump to make one vessel for honor and another for dishonor? 22 What if God, wanting to show his wrath and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, 23 and that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had prepared beforehand for glory, 24 even us whom he called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles? 25 As he says also in Hosea: “I will call them my people, who were not my people, and her beloved, who was not beloved.” 26 “And it shall come to pass in the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ there they will be called sons of the living God.” 27 Isaiah also cries out concerning Israel: “Though the number of the sons of Israel be as the sand of the

Rimljanima Boœja milost koga on izabere

Istinu govorim u Kristu, ne laœem, zato mi svjedoçi moja savjest zajedno s Duhom Svetim, 2 da u svojemu srcu nosim duboku i trajnu bol. 3 Œelio bih da osobno budem odreåen za uniætenje, odijeljen od Krista, za svoju braøu, za svoju rodbinu po tijelu. 4 Oni su Izraelci; njima pripada: posinjenje i Slava, Savezi i zakonodavstvo, Bogoætovlje i obeøanja; 5 njihovi su oçevi, i od njih potjeçe Krist po tijelu, koji je iznad svega, Bog slavljen zauvijek. Amen. 6 Ali to ne znaçi da je propalo Boœje obeøanje. Jer nisu svi Izraelci pravi Izraelci, 7 niti su svi djeca zato æto su pravo Abrahamovo potomstvo, nego: “Po Izaku øe se zvati tvoje potomstvo,” 8 To znaçi: djeca po prirodnom roåenju nisu djeca Boœja, veø se djeca po obeøanju smatraju potomstvom. 9 Obeøanje, uistinu, glasi ovako: “U ovo øu vrijeme doøi, i Sara øe imati sina.” 10 I ne samo to, nego kad je Rebeka zaçela samo s jednim muœem, s naæim ocem Izakom, 11 (dok se joæ djeca ni ne rode, niti uçine kakvo dobro ili zlo, njoj je bilo reçeno: da ostane Boœja odluka koja je uçinjena po slobodnom izboru, koja ne ovisi o djelu, veø o onom koji poziva), 12 bilo joj je reçeno: “Stariji øe sluœiti mlaåemu.” 13 Kao æto stoji napisano: “Jakova sam ljubio, a Ezava sam mrzio.” 14 Æto øemo dakle reøi? Zar kod Boga ima nepravednosti? Nipoæto! 15 Jer Mojsije reçe: “Imat øu milosti za koga øu imati milosti, a imat øu samilosti nad onim nad kojim øu imati samilosti.” 16 Stoga, izbor nije stvar ni onoga koji hoøe ni onoga koji trçi, veø Boga koji se smiluje. 17 Jer Pismo govori za faraona: “Upravo sam te zato i stvorio da na tebi pokaœem svoju snagu i da se razglasi moje ime po cijeloj zemlji.” 18 Tako dakle: iskazuje milosråe komu hoøe, a çini tvrdokornim koga hoøe. 19 Ti øeæ mi tada reøi: “Zaæto joæ zamjera? Pa tko se to odupro volji Njegovoj?” 20 O çovjeçe, tko si ti da se usuåujeæ prigovarati Bogu? Zar øe rukotvorina reøi svojemu rukotvorcu: “Zaæto si me ovako naçinio?” 21 Ili zar lonçar nema vlasti nad glinom da od iste gline napravi jednu posudu za plemenitu, a drugu za neplemenitu upotrebu? 22 A ako je Bog, premda je htio pokazati svoj gnjev i objaviti svoju moø, na posudama ispunjenima gnjevom koje su pripravljene za propast, s velikom ih strpljivoæøu podnosio, 23 da tako pokaœe bogatstvo svoje slave prema posudama ispunjenima milosråem koje je od prije pripremio za slavu, 24 prema nama koje je pozvao i od Œidova i od neznaboœaca, 25 kako i On govori preko Ozeja: ‘Nazvat øu svojim narodom, onaj narod koji nije moj narod; a neljubljenu ljubljenom.” 26 I dogodit øe se da øe na mjestu gdje im je reçeno: ‘Vi niste moj narod’ biti prozvani sinovima œivoga Boga.” 27 A Izaija viçe o Izraelu: “Iako je broj sinova Izraelovih kao morski pijesak, spasit øe se

Neznaboæci, koji Gomorrah.” 30 What shall we say then? That Gentiles, who did nisu teœili za pravednoæøu, postigli su pravednot pursue righteousness, have attained to right- nost, i to pravednost koja dolazi od vjere. 31 Dok Izrael, iduøi za nekim zakonom koji bi eousness, even the righteousness of faith; 31 but Israel, pursuing the law of righteousness, has çinio pravednim, nije stigao k ispunjenju Zakona. not attained to the law of righteousness. 32 Why? Because they did not seek it by faith, but as 32 Zaæto? Jer je htio postiøi pravednost ne po it were, by the works of the law. For they stumbled at vjeri, veø, kao da bi bilo moguøe, po djelima.

Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they may be saved. 2 For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. 3 For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God. 4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. 5 For Moses writes about the righteousness which is of the law, “The man who does those things shall live by them.” 6 But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ ”(that is, to bring Christ down from above) 7 or, “ ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ ”(that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, even in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes to righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made to salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on him will not be put to shame.” 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon him. 13 For “whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” 14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!” 16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?” 17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. 18 But I say, have they not heard? Yes indeed: “Their sound has gone out to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.” 19 But I say, did Israel not know? First Moses says: “I will provoke you to jealousy by those who are not a nation, I will anger you by a foolish nation.” 20 But Isaiah is very bold and says: “I was found by those who did not seek me; I was made manifest to

Milost za svakoga

Braøo, œelja mojega srca i moja molitva Bogu za njih jest da se spase. 2 Uistinu, svjedoçim za njih da imaju revnost za Boga, ali ne po pravom razumijevanju. 3 Jer oni ne poznajuøi Boœje pravednosti i nastojeøi sami ustanoviti svoju vlastitu pravednost, nisu sami sebe podloœili Boœjoj pravednosti. 4 Jer Krist je svrha i svræetak Zakona za svakoga tko vjeruje. 5 Jer Mojsije piæe o pravednosti koja dolazi od Zakona: “Onaj çovjek koji je drœi, œivjet øe od nje.” 6 Ali pravednost koja dolazi od vjere ovako govori: “Ne reci u svojemu srcu: ‘Tko øe uziøi na nebo?’ (to jest da dovede Krista odozgor dolje) 7 ili: “ ‘Tko øe siøi u bezdan?’ ” (to jest izvesti Krista od mrtvih). 8 Pa æto dakle govori? “Blizu ti je rijeç, u tvojim ustima i u tvojemu srcu,” (to je rijeç vjere koju mi propovijedamo). 9 Da ako ustima svojim priznajeæ Isusa Gospodina i srcem svojim vjerujeæ da ga je Bog uskrsnuo od mrtvih, bit øeæ spaæen. 10 Jer çovjek srcem vjeruje za opravdanje, a ustima daje priznanje za spasenje, 11 jer Pismo govori: “Tko god vjeruje u njega, neøe se postidjeti.” 12 Ali nema razlike izmeåu Œidova i Grka; isti je Gospodin svih, bogat za sve koji ga Zazivaju. 13 Jer: “Tko god prizove ime Gospodinovo, spasit øe se.” 14 Ali kako øe prizvati onoga u koga nisu vjerovali? I kako li øe vjerovati u onoga za koga nisu çuli? Kako li øe çuti bez propovjednika? 15 Kako øe propovijedati ako nisu poslani? Kao æto stoji napisano: “Kako su krasne noge onih koji propovijedaju Radosnu vijest mira i donose Radosnu vijest o dobroti!” 16 Ali svi nisu prihvatili Radosne vijesti. Jer Izaija reçe: “Gospodine, tko vjeruje naæem propovijedanju?” 17 Tako dakle, vjera dolazi sluæanjem propovijedi, a sluæanje propovijedanja rijeçi Boœje. 18 Ali pitam: zar nisu çuli? Ætoviæe: “Po svoj se zemlji raæirio njihov glas, i njihove rijeçi do kraja svijeta.” 19 Nego kaœem: Zar Izrael nije razumio? Najprije je Mojsije rekao: “Ja øu izazivati vaæu ljubomoru narodom koji nije narod i razdraœit øu vas nerazumnim narodom.” 20 A Izaija je vrlo odvaœno rekao: “Naæli su me

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. 3 For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith. 4 For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, 5 so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another. 6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith; 7 or ministry, let us use it in our ministering; he who teaches, in teaching; 8 he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness. 9 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good. 10 Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another; 11 not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; 12 rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer; 13 distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality. 14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.

Kræøanska pravila za œivot

Molim vas dakle, braøo, milosråem Boœjim da prinesete sebe kao œrtvu œivu, svetu i ugodnu Bogu, kao svoju umjerenu sluœbu Bogu. 2 Nemojte se prilagoåivati ovomu svijetu! Naprotiv, preobrazite se obnovom svojega uma da moœete uoçavati æto je volja Boœja: æto je dobro, ugodno i savræeno! 3 Dakako, po milosti koja mi je dana, kaœem svakom od vas da ne drœi do sebe previæe, viæe nego treba do sebe drœati, veø neka drœi do sebe pristojno prema mjeri vjere koju je Bog udijelio svakomu pojedinom. 4 Jer kao æto u jednom tijelu imamo mnogo udova, a svi udovi nemaju istu ulogu, 5 tako smo mi, mnogi, jedno tijelo u Kristu, a pojedino udovi jedan drugomu. 6 A imamo razliçite darove veø prema danoj nam milosti. Ako je prorokovanje, neka proriçe u omjeru s vjerom; 7 ako sluœba, neka sluœi meåu nama; tko u pouçavanju neka pouçava; 8 tko u hrabrenju, neka hrabri; tko je dareœljiv neka dijeli slobodno; tko upravlja, neka je revan; tko iskazuje milosråe, neka to çini veselo. 9 Neka vaæa ljubav bude bez pretvaranja. Mrzite zlo, prionite uz dobro. 10 Ljubite srdaçno jedan drugoga bratskom ljubavlju! S poætovanjem pretjeçite jedan drugoga. 11 U revnosti budite neumorni! Budite gorljivi Duhom! Gospodinu sluœite! 12 Nadom se veselite, u nevolji budite strpljivi, u molitvi ustrajni. 13 Pritjeçite u pomoø svetima u potrebama!

Posluænost vlastima

Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. 2 Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. 4 For he is God’s minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God’s minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil. 5 Therefore you must be subject, not only because of wrath but also for conscience’ sake. 6 For because of this you also pay taxes, for they are God’s ministers attending continually to this very thing. 7 Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor. 8 Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law. 9 For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery, you shall not murder, you shall not steal, you shall not bear false witness, you shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 10 Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. 11 And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. 12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. 13 Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in licentiousness and lewdness, not in strife and envy. 14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.

Neka se svatko pokorava viæim vlastima, jer nema vlasti osim one od Boga. I sve vlasti koje postoje, od Boga su uspostavljene. 2 Zato onaj koji se suprotstavlja vlasti protivi se zapovijedi Boœjoj. A koji joj se protive, navuøi øe sami na se osudu. 3 Poglavara se ne treba bojati kad se çini dobro, veø kad se çini zlo. Hoøeæ li da se ne moraæ bojati vlasti, çini dobro te øeæ s njezine strane imati hvalu. 4 Jer vlast sluœi Bogu za tvoje dobro. Ali ako çiniæ ono æto je zlo, boj se, jer vlast ne nosi uzalud maça. Vlast, naime, sluœi Bogu da kazni onoga koji çini zlo. 5 Zato se mora pokoravati, ne samo zbog straha od kazne nego i zbog savjesti. 6 Jer zato i poreze treba plaøati, jer su oni sluœbenici Boœji i vræe tu sluœbu neprestano. 7 Podajte svakom ono æto mu pripada: porez onomu kojemu s pravom pripada porez, kojemu carina, carina; kojemu poætovanje, poætovanje; kojemu çast, çast. 8 Nikomu niæta ne dugujte, nego ljubite jedan drugoga, jer tko ljubi drugoga, ispunio je Zakon. 9 Jer zapovijedi su: “Ne smijeæ çiniti preljuba! Ne smijeæ ubiti! Ne smijeæ ukrasti! Ne smijeæ svjedoçiti laœno! Ne smijeæ poœeljeti tuåe!” Iako ima kakva druga zapovijed, sadrœana je u ovoj rijeçi: “Ljubi bliœnjega svojega kao samoga sebe!” 10 Ljubav ne çini bliœnjemu zla. Dakle: ljubav je ispunjeni Zakon. 11 Ovo çinite jer znate vrijeme, veø je naime ças da se probudite od sna, jer je sada naæe spasenje bliœe nego kad smo prihvatili vjeru. 12 Noø je poodmakla. Dan je blizu. Svucimo dakle sa sebe djela tame, a odjenimo se u oruœje svjetla! 13 Hodimo pristojno kao po danu; ne u razuzdanim gozbama i pijankama, ne u bludnosti i raspuætenosti, ne u svaåi i zavisti. 14 Nego se odjenite u Gospodina Isusa Krista i ne brinite se za tijelo da ugaåate njegovim poœudama!

We then who are strong ought to bear with the scruples of the weak, and not to please ourselves. 2 Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, leading to edification. 3 For even Christ did not please himself; but as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me.”

I commend to you Phoebe our sister, who is a servant of the church in Cenchrea, 2 that you may receive her in the Lord in a manner worthy of the saints, and assist her in whatever business she has need of you; for indeed she has been a helper of many and of myself also. 3 Greet Priscilla and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus, 4 who risked their own necks for my life, to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles. 5 Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Greet my beloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia to Christ. 6 Greet Mary, who labored much for us. 7 Greet Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen and my fellow prisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me. 8 Greet Amplias, my beloved in the Lord. 9 Greet Urbanus, our fellow worker in Christ, and Stachys, my beloved. 10 Greet Apelles, approved in Christ. Greet those who are of the household of Aristobulus. 11 Greet Herodion, my kinsman. Greet those who are of the household of Narcissus who are in the Lord. 12 Greet Tryphena and Tryphosa, who have labored in the Lord. Greet the beloved Persis, who labored much in the Lord. 13 Greet Rufus, chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine. 14 Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brethren who are with them. 15 Greet Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints who are with them. 16 Greet one another with a holy kiss. The churches of Christ greet you. 17 Now I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and avoid them. 18 For those who are such do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and by smooth words and flattering speech deceive the hearts of the simple. 19 For your obedience has become known to all. Therefore I am glad on your behalf; but I want you to be wise in what is good, and simple concerning evil. 20 And the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. 21Timothy, my fellow worker, and Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen, greet you. 22 I, Tertius, who wrote this epistle, greet you in the Lord. 23 Gaius, my host and the host of the whole church, greets you. Erastus, the treasurer of the city, greets you, and Quartus, a brother. 24 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

Preporuçujem vam naæu sestru Febu, sluœbenicu crkve u Kenhreji: 2 Lijepo je primite u Gospodinu, kako dolikuje svetima, i pomozite joj u svemu æto od vas ustreba, jer je i sama pomogla mnogima i meni samomu. 3 Pozdravite moje suradnike u Kristu Isusu, Prisku i Akvilu, 4 koji su svoj œivot stavili u pogibelj za moj œivot i kojima zahvaljujem ne samo ja nego i sve crkve neznaboœaçke. 5 Pozdravite i crkvu koja se sastaje u njihovoj kuøi! Pozdravite mojega ljubljenoga Efenata, koji je prvina Ahaje. 6 Pozdravite Mariju, koja se mnogo trudila za nas. 7 Pozdravite Andronika i Junija, moje sunarodnjake i sudrugove mi u suœanjstu! Oni su ugledni apostoli i bili su u Kristu veø prije mene. 8 Pozdravite Amplijata mojega ljubljenoga u Gospodinu! 9 Pozdravite naæega suradnika u Kristu Urbana i mojega ljubljenoga Stahija! 10 Pozdravite Apela, çestitog u Kristu! Pozdravite Aristobulove ukuøane! 11 Pozdravite mojega roåaka Herodiona! Pozdravite Narcisove ukuøane koji pripadaju Gospodinu! 12 Pozdravite Trifenu i Trifozu, koje se trude u Gospodinu!

Pozdravljaju vas sve Kristove crkve. 17 A sada naglaæavam, braøo, çuvajte se onih koji prave razdor i sablazni suprotno nauci koju ste vi primili, i klonite ih se. 18 Takvi, naime, ne sluœe naæem Gospodinu Isusu Kristu, nego svojemu trbuhu, te slatkim i laskavim rijeçima zavode srca priprostih. 19 Glas o vaæoj posluænosti dopro je do svih. Zato se radujem zbog vas, ali hoøu da budete mudri s obzirom na dobro, a bezazleni s obzirom na zlo. 20 Bog, izvor mira, brzo øe satrti Sotonu pod vaæim nogama.

1THECorinthians EPISLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE

1 Korinøanima POSLANICA APOSTOLA PAVLA

Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother, 2 To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all who in every place call on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours: 3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 4 I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given to you by Christ Jesus, 5 that you were enriched in everything by him in all utterance and all knowledge, 6 even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you, 7 so that you come short in no gift, eagerly waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, 8 who will also confirm you to the end, that you may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. 10 Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. 11 For it has been declared to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of Chloe’s household, that there are contentions among you. 12 Now I say this, that each of you says, “I am of Paul,” or “I am of Apollos,” or “I am of Cephas,” or “I am of Christ.” 13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? 14 I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius, 15 lest anyone should say that I had baptized in my own name. 16 Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas. Besides, I do not know whether I baptized any other. 17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect. 18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.” 20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish

Pavao, pozvan voljom Boœjom za apostola Isusa Krista, i naæ brat Sosten, 2 crkvi Boœjoj u Korintu, posveøenima u Kristu Isusu, pozvanima da budu sveti, sa svima koji bilo gdje prizivaju ime Gospodina naæega Isusa Krista, Gospodina njihova i naæega. 3 Milost vam i mir od Boga, Oca naæega, i Gospodina Isusa Krista! 4 Uvijek zahvaljujem svojemu Bogu za vas na milosti Boœjoj koja vam je dana po Kristu Isusu. 5 U njemu ste postali bogati u svakom pogledu, u svakoj vrsti govora i znanja 6 Kao æto se svjedoçanstvo o Kristu uçvrstilo meåu vama, 7 tako da ne oskudijevate ni u jednom daru dok çekate dolazak Gospodina naæega Isusa Krista. 8 On øe vas utvrditi sve do kraja, tako da budete bez krivnje na dan naæega Gospodina Isusa Krista. 9 Vjeran je Bog koji vas je pozvao u zajednicu svojega Sina, Isusa Krista, Gospodina naæega. 10 Sada vas molim, braøo, imenom Gospodina naæega Isusa Krista, da svi isto govorite i da budete sloœni; da ne bude meåu vama razdora, nego da budete sjedinjeni u istom osjeøaju i u istom sudu. 11 Jer meni su rekli o vama, braøo moja, po Klojini ukuøani da meåu vama ima prepiranja. 12 Ovim kanim reøi da svaki pojedinac od vas govori: “Ja sam Pavlov.” ili “Ja sam Apolonov.” ili “Ja sam Petrov.” ili “Ja sam Kristov.” 13 Je li Krist razdijeljen? Je li Pavao razapet za vas? Ili ste u Pavlovo ime kræteni? 14 Zahvaljujem Bogu æto nisam nikoga od vas krstio, osim Krispa i Gaja, 15 da nitko ne moœe reøi da ste u moje ime kræteni. 16 Istina je, joæ sam krstio i Stefaninov dom. Inaçe ne znam da sam koga drugoga krstio. 17 Jer Krist me nije poslao da krstim, nego da propovijedam Radosnu vijest, i ne u govorniçkoj mudrosti, da ne izgubi snagu kriœa Kristova. 18 Bez sumnje, govor o kriœu ludost je za one koji propadaju, a za nas koji smo spaæeni sila je Boœja. 19 Jer stoji napisano: “Ja øu uniætiti mudrost mudrih i oduzet øu pamet pametnih.” 20 Gdje je mudrac? Gdje je pismoznanac? Gdje li je istraœivaç ovoga svijeta? Zar nije Bog

And I, brethren, when I came to you, did not come with excellence of speech or of wisdom declaring to you the testimony of God. 2 For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. 3 I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling. 4 And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5 that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. 6 However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. 7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory, 8 which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9 But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love him.” 10 But God has revealed them to us through his Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. 11 For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. 13 These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually dis-

Apostol propovijeda Krista razapetoga

I ja, kad sam doæao k vama, braøo, da vam navijestim svjedoçanstvo Boœje, nisam doæao s visokim govorom ili s mudroæøu, 2 jer ne drœim zgodnim meåu vama iæta drugo znati osim Isusa Krista, i to njega razapetoga. 3 I ja sam se pokazao slabim, bojaœljivim i drhtavim. 4 Moja rijeç i moje propovijedanje nije se sastojalo u uvjerljivim rijeçima çovjeçje mudrosti, veø u prisutnosti Duha i snage, 5 Da se vaæa vjera ne oslanja na ljudsku mudrost, nego na Boœju snagu. 6 Pa ipak, mi navjeæøujemo mudrost meåu savræenima, ali ne mudrost ovoga svijeta niti vladare ovoga svijeta, koji su osuåeni na propast. 7 A mi govorimo mudrost Boœju tajanstvenu i skrivenu; onu koju Bog od vjeçnosti predodredio na naæu slavu; 8 Onu koju nije upoznao ni jedan od knezova ovoga svijeta; da su je upoznali, ne bi Gospodina slave razapeli. 9 Nego kao æto je napisano: “Æto oko nije vidjelo, ni uho nije çulo, niti je uælo u ljudsko srce, to je Bog pripravio onima koji ga ljube.” 10 A nama je to Bog objavio po njegovom Duhu. Jer Duh sve ispituje, çak i ono iz dubine Boœje. 11 Jer tko od ljudi zna çovjekove stvari, osim çovjeçjega duha koji je u njemu? Tako isto nitko ne zna Boœjih stvari, osim Boœjega Duha. 12 A mi nismo primili duha ovoga svijeta, nego Duha koji dolazi od Boga, da bismo mogli upoznati darove koje nam je Bog dobrostivo darovao. 13 Mi to i govorimo, ne rijeçima koje uçi ljudska mudrost, nego rijeçima koje uçi Duh Sveti, izraœavajuøi duhovne stvari duhovnim rijeçima. 14 A zemaljski çovjek ne prima ono æto dolazi od Duha Boœjega, jer je to za njega ludost, niti moœe upoznati, jer se to mora Duhovno pro-

And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ. 2 I fed you with milk and not with solid food; for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able; 3 for you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and behaving like mere men? 4 For when one says, “I am of Paul,” and another, “I am of Apollos,” are you not carnal? 5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers through whom you believed, as the Lord gave to each one? 6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase. 7 So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase. 8 Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor. 9 For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s building. 10 According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it. 11 For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, 13 each one’s work will become manifest; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is. 14 If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. 15 If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire. 16 Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 17 If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are. 18 Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. 19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He catches the wise in their own craftiness”; 20 and again, “The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile.” 21 Therefore let no one glory in men. For all things are yours: 22 whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas, or the world or life or death, or things present or things to come– all are yours. 23 And you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.

4

Let a man so consider us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. 2 Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful. 3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by a human court. In fact, I do not even judge myself. 4 For I know nothing against myself, yet I am not jus-

Isus Krist je jedini temelj

I ja vama, braøo, nisam mogao govoriti kao duhovnima, nego kao tjelesnima, kao maloj djeci u Kristu. 2 Hranio sam vas mlijekom, a ne tvrdim jelom, jer ga niste mogli joæ podnositi. A ni sada joæ ne moœete 3 jer ste joæ tjelesni. Zar niste tjelesni, to jest, zar ne œivite çisto po tjelesnomu, kad meåu vama postoji zavist i prepiranje? 4 Zar niste ljudi tjelesnih zahtjeva, kad jedan od vas govori: “Ja sam Pavlov,” a drugi: “Ja Apolonov?” 5 Pa æto je Apolon? Æto li je Pavao? Sluge koje su vas privele k vjeri, a svaki je od njih sluga onako kako mu je Gospodin dao. 6 Ja sam posadio, Apolon je zalio, ali je Bog çinio da raste. 7 Stoga: niti je æto onaj koji neæto sadi, niti onaj koji zalijeva, nego onaj koji çini da raste, Bog. 8 Onaj koji sadi i onaj koji zalijeva jedno su, ali øe svaki primiti svoju plaøu prema svojemu trudu. 9 Mi smo Boœji suradnici; vi ste Boœja njiva, Boœja graåevina. 10 Prema Boœjoj milosti koja mi je dana, ja sam, kao mudri graditelj, postavio temelj, a drugi nadoziåuje. Ali neka svatko pazi kako nadoziåuje! 11 Nitko ne moœe postaviti drugog temelja osim onoga koji je veø postavljen, a taj je Isus Krist. 12 Zida li tko na ovom temelju zlatom, srebrom, dragim kamenjem, drvetom, sijenom, slamom, 13 svaçije øe djelo iziøi na svjetlo. To øe pokazati onaj Dan vatrom, jer øe se vatrom iskuæati kakvo je çije djelo. 14 Onaj kojemu ostane æto je nadozidao primit øe nagradu, 15 a onaj çije djelo izgori, bit øe oæteøen. On sam bit øe spaæen, ali kao kroz vatru. 16 Ne znate li da ste hram Boœji i da Duh Boœji prebiva u vama? 17 Ako bilo tko razara hram Boœji, njega øe Bog uniætiti, jer je svet hram Boœji, a taj hram ste vi. 18 Neka nitko sam sebe ne zavarava! Ako tko meåu vama misli da je mudar na ovom svijetu, neka bude lud, pa da bude mudar. 19 Jer je mudrost ovoga svijeta ludost pred Bogom! Stoji naime napisano: “On hvata mudrace njihovom lukavætinom”; 20 i opet: “Gospodin poznaje misli mudraca; zna da su isprazne.” 21 Zato neka se nitko ne ponosi ljudima! Jer vama pripada sve: 22 i Pavao, i Apolon, i Kefa, i svijet, i œivot ovoga svijeta, i smrt, i sadaænjost, i buduønost. Sve je vaæe, 23 A vi ste Kristovi, a Krist je Boœji.

It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and such sexual immorality as is not even named among the Gentiles– that a man has his father’s wife! 2 And you are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he who has done this deed might be taken away from among you. 3 For I indeed, as absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged, as though I were present, concerning him who has so done this deed. 4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are gathered together, along with my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, 5 deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the

Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unrigh-teous, and not before the saints? 2 Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 3 Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life? 4 If then you have judgments concerning things pertaining to this life, do you appoint those who are least esteemed by the church to judge? 5 I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you, not even one, who will be able to judge between his brethren? 6 But brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers! 7 Now therefore, it is already an utter failure for you that you go to law against one another. Why do you not rather accept wrong? Why do you not rather let yourselves be defrauded? 8 No, you yourselves do wrong and defraud, and you do these things to your brethren! 9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God. 12 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. 13 Foods for the stomach and the stomach for foods, but God will destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. 14 And God both raised up the Lord and will also raise us up by his power. 15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not! 16 Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For “The two,” He says,

Poætenje

Usuåuje li se tko od vas, ako ima parnicu s drugim, traœiti pravdu pred nepravednima, a ne pred svetima? 2 Ne znate li da øe sveti suditi svijetu? Pa ako øete vi suditi svijetu, zar ste onda nesposobni suditi u manjim stvarima? 3 Ne znate li da øemo suditi anåelima! Koliko viæe ono æto je iz svakidaænjega œivota? 4 A vi, ako imate parnice o svakidaænjim œivotnim stvarima, postavljate da vam sude oni do kojih crkva nimalo ne drœi. 5 Vama na sramotu govorim tako! Zar meåu vama nema ni jednoga mudrog koji bi mogao rasuditi izmeåu svoje braøe! 6 Mjesto toga brat protiv brata traœi pravdu, i to pred nevjernicima! 7 Stoga, vam je veø to nedostatak æto uopøe imate parnice meåu sobom. Zaæto radije ne pretrpite nepravdu? Zaæto radije ne dozvolite biti prevareni? 8 Naprotiv, vi nanosite nepravdu i ætetu, i to braøi! 9 Zar ne znate da nepravedni neøe baætiniti kraljevstva Boœjega? Nemojte se varati! Ni bludnici, ni idolopoklonici, ni preljubnici, ni homoseksualci, ni sodomiti (oskvrnitelji istog spola), 10 ni kradljivci, ni lakomci, ni pijanice, ni psovaçi, ni razbojnici neøe baætiniti kraljevstva Boœjega. 11 I neki od vas bili su takvi. Ali vi ste sada oprani, i posveøeni, i opravdani imenom naæega Gospodina Isusa Krista i Duhom naæega Boga. 12 Sve je meni zakonski dopuæteno, ali sve to nije korisno. Sve je za mene zakonski dopuæteno, ali ja neøu dopustiti da i çemu robujem. 13 Jela su odreåena za trbuh, a trbuh za jela. Ali øe Bog uniætiti trbuh i jela. A tijelo nije za spolnu bludnost, nego za Gospodina, i Gospodin za tijelo. 14 Bog koji je uskrsnuo Gospodina, i nas øe uskrsnuti svojom moøi. 15 Ne znate li da su vaæa tjelesa Kristovi udovi? Hoøu li ja, dakle, otkinuti Kristove udove i uçiniti ih udovima bludnice? Ne daj Boœe. 16 Ili ne znate da onaj koji se bludnicom zdruœi s njom bude jedno tijelo, jer se govori: “Oboje

Now concerning the things of which you wrote to me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. 2 Nevertheless, because of sexual immorality, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband. 3 Let the husband render to his wife the affection due her, and likewise also the wife to her husband. 4 The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. And likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. 5 Do not deprive one another except with consent for a time, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again so that Satan does not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. 6 But I say this as a concession, not as a commandment. 7 For I wish that all men were even as I myself. But each one has his own gift from God, one in this manner and another in that. 8 But I say to the unmarried and to the widows: It is good for them if they remain even as I am; 9 but if they cannot exercise self-control, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion. 10 Now to the married I command, yet not I but the Lord: A wife is not to depart from her husband. 11 But even if she does depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband is not to divorce his wife. 12 But to the rest I, not the Lord, say: If any brother has a wife who does not believe, and she is willing to live with him, let him not divorce her. 13 And a woman who has a husband who does not believe, if he is willing to live with her, let her not divorce him. 14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband; otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy. 15 But if the unbeliever departs, let him depart; a brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases. But God has called us to peace. 16 For how do you know, O wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, O husband, whether you will save your wife? 17 But as God has distributed to each one, as the Lord has called each one, so let him walk. And so I ordain in all the churches. 18 Was anyone called while circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Was anyone called while uncircumcised? Let him not be circumcised. 19 Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but keeping the commandments of God is what matters. 20 Let each one remain in the same calling in which he was called.

Pravilo œenidbe

Sada o onomu o çemu ste mi pisali, mislim da je dobro za çovjeka da ne dira œenske. 2 Ali da ne dolazi do bludnosti, neka svaki çovjek ima vlastitu œenu i svaka œena vlastitog muœa. 3 Neka muœ daje svojoj œeni ljubaznost koja joj pripada, isto tako i œena svojemu muœu! 4 Œena nije gospodar svojega tijela, nego muœ, isto tako ni muœ nije gospodar svojega tijela, nego œena. 5 Jedno se drugomu nemojte uskraøivati, osim moœda po dogovoru, za neko vrijeme, da se posvetite molitvi; zatim se opet sastajte, da vas ne bi Sotona, zbog vaæe slabosti u suzdrœljivosti, uveo u napast. 6 Ovo kaœem kao dopuætenje, a ne kao zapovijed. 7 Ja bih htio da svi budu kao i ja; ali svatko ima od Boga svoj poseban dar, jedan ovakav, drugi onakav. 8 Neoœenjenima i udovicama ipak kaœem da je za njih dobro ako ostanu kao i ja. 9 Ali ako se ne mogu suzdrœati, neka se œene i udaju, jer je bolje œeniti se nego izgarati od strasti. 10 Oœenjenima nareåujem, ne ja, nego Gospodin, da se œena od muœa ne rastavlja; 11 Ako li se rastavi, neka ostane neudata ili se izmiri sa svojim muœem; a muœ neka ne otpuæta œene. 12 A ostalima kaœem ja, a ne Gospodin: ako koji brat ima œenu nevjernicu koja pristaje da œivi s njim, neka je ne otpuæta! 13 A œena koja ima muœa koji ne vjeruje, i ako muœ pristaje da œivi s njom, neka ona ne otpuæta muœa, 14 jer muœ nevjernik posveøen je po œeni, a œena nevjernica posveøena je po muœu. Inaçe bi vaæa djeca bila neçista, a sada su sveta. 15 Ali ako se nevjernik rastavlja, neka odlazi. U takvim prilikama nije ropski vezan brat ili sestra. Nego Bog nas je pozvao da œivimo u miru. 16 Jer kako ti znaæ, œeno, hoøeæ li spasiti svojega muœa? Ili kako ti znaæ, muœu, hoøeæ li spasiti svoju œenu? 17 Uostalom, neka svatko œivi onako kako mu je Gospodin dodijelio, kako ga je Bog pozvao! Tako nareåujem po svim crkvama. 18 Ako je tko obrezan kad je pozvan, neka ostane obrezan; ako je tko neobrezan kad je pozvan, neka se ne obrezuje! 19 Obrezanje ne vrijedi niæta, a ni neobrezanje ne vrijedi niæta, nego je vræenje Boœjih zapovijedi vaœno. 20 Svatko neka ostane u onom zvanju u kojem je pozvan! 21 Jesi li bio pozvan dok si bio rob?

Now concerning things offered to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love edifies. 2 And if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know. 3 But if anyone loves God, this one is known by him. 4 Therefore concerning the eating of things offered to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God but one.

Am I not an apostle? Am I not free? Have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? Are you not my work in the Lord? 2 If I am not an apostle to others, yet doubtless I am to you. For you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord. 3 My defense to those who examine me is this: 4 Do we have no right to eat and drink? 5 Do we have no right to take along a believing wife, as do also the other apostles, the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas? 6 Or is it only Barnabas and I who have no right to refrain from working? 7 Who ever goes to war at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat of its fruit? Or who tends a flock and does not drink of the milk of the flock? 8 Do I say these things as a mere man? Or does not the law say the same also? 9 For it is written in the law of Moses, “You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain.” Is it oxen God is concerned about? 10 Or does he say it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written, that he who plows should plow in hope, and he who threshes in hope should be partaker of his hope. 11 If we have sown spiritual things for you, is it a great thing if we reap your material things? 12 If others are partakers of this right over you, are we not even more? Nevertheless we have not used this right, but endure all things lest we hinder the gospel of Christ. 13 Do you not know that those who minister the holy things eat of the things of the temple, and those who serve at the altar partake of the offerings of the altar? 14 Even so the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should live from the gospel. 15 But I have used none of these things, nor have I written these things that it should be done so to me; for it would be better for me to die than that anyone should make my boasting void. 16 For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast

Zar ja nisam apostol? Zar nisam slobodan? Zar nisam vidio naæega Gospodina Isusa Krista? Zar vi niste moje djelo u Gospodinu? 2 Ako drugima nisam apostol, vama sigurno jesam: jer vi ste peçat mojega apostolstva u Gospodinu. 3 Ovo je moja obrana mojim optuœiteljima: 4 Zar nemamo pravo na jelo i pilo? 5 Zar nemamo pravo voditi sobom sestru, œenu, kao i ostali apostoli i braøa od Gospodina, i Kefa? 6 Ili samo ja i Barnaba nemamo pravo ne raditi rukama? 7 Tko ikad ide u rat o svom vlastitom troæku? Tko sadi vinograd a ne jede njegov plod? Ili tko pase stado a mlijeka od stada ne pije? 8 Zar ovo tvrdim samo po ljudsku? Ne govori li ovo i Zakon? 9 Uistinu, u Mojsijevu Zakonu stoji napisano: “Ne zavezuj usta volu koji vræi œito.” Zar se Bog brine za volove? 10 Ili on to govori zbog nas? Da, to je za nas bez sumnje napisano, da onaj koji ore u nadi da ore i onaj koji vræe, u svojoj nadi treba biti dionik. 11 Ako smo mi vama sijali duhovna dobra, jeli to veliko ako œanjemo vaæa tjelesna dobra? 12 Ako drugi imaju pravo na vas, zar nemamo veøe mi? Ali se nismo posluœili ovim pravom, veø podnosimo sve da ne prijeçimo Kristovu Radosnu vijest. 13 Zar ne znate da se oni koji obavljaju svetu sluœbu hrane od hramskih dohodaka i da sluœbenici kod œrtvenika, dijele darove œrtvenika? 14 Isto Gospodin zapovjedi onima koji navjeæøuju Radosnu vijest, da od Radosne vijesti i œive. 15 A ja se nisam niçim od toga posluœio. Ovo ne piæem u nakani da se sada tako uçini meni, jer bih radije umro nego da mi netko uniæti ovo pravo na slavu.

Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea, 2 all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, 3 all ate the same spiritual food, 4 and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ. 5 But with most of them God was not well pleased, for their bodies were scattered in the wilderness. 6 Now these things became our examples, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things as they also lusted. 7 And do not become idolaters as were some of them. As it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.” 8 Nor let us commit sexual immorality, as some of them did, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell; 9 nor let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed by serpents; 10 nor murmur, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed by the destroyer. 11 Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, on whom the ends of the ages have come. 12 Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall. 13 No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it. 14 Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.

Çiniti sve na slavu Boœju

Dakako, htio bih da znate, braøo, da su svi naæi oçevi bili pod oblakom; da su svi preæli preko mora; 2 Da su svi kræteni u oblaku i u moru za pripadnike Mojsiju; 3 Da su svi jeli isto duhovno jelo; 4 Da su svi pili isto duhovno piøe, naime, iz duhovnog kamena koji ih je pratio, a taj je kamen Krist. 5 Ali s mnogima od njih Bog nije bio zadovoljan, buduøi da su bili poubijani u pustinji. 6 To se dogodilo nama za primjer, da ne çeznemo za zlim stvarima, kao æto su oni çeznuli. 7 Ne budite idolopoklonici kao neki od njih, kao æto stoji napisano: “Sjedne narod da jede i pije, zatim ustane da igra!” 8 Ne grijeæimo bludno, kao æto su neki od njih sagrijeæili, te ih je u jedan dan palo dvadeset i tri tisuøe! 9 Ne izazivajmo Gospodina, kao æto su ga neki od njih izazivali, te od zmija izginuli. 10 Ne mrmljajte, kao æto su neki od njih mrmljali, te ih uniæti zatiraç! 11 Sve se to njima dogodilo da bude za primjer, a napisano je za opomenu nama kojima je zapalo da œivimo u posljednjim vremenima. 12 Dakle, tko misli da stoji, neka pazi da ne padne! 13 Nikakva kuænja veøa od ljudske snage nije vam se dogodila, osim obiçne ljudske. Bog je vjeran i neøe dopustiti da budete kuæani preko vaæih snaga, nego øe vam zajedno s kuænjom dati sretan ishod da je moœete podnijeti.

Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ. 2 Now I praise you, brethren, that you remember me in all things and keep the traditions as I delivered them to you. 3 But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God. 4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head. 5 But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for that is one and the same as if her head were shaved. 6 For if a woman is not covered, let her also be shorn. But if it is shameful for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered. 7 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man. 8 For man is not from woman, but woman from man. 9 Nor was man created for the woman, but woman for the man.

O svetkovanju veçere Gospodinove

Oponaæajte mene, kao æto i ja oponaæam Krista! 2 Hvalim vas sada, braøo, æto me se u svemu sjeøate i æto drœite obiçaje kako sam vam ih predao. 3 Ali hoøu da znate da je Krist glava svakomu muækarcu, da je muœ glava œeni i da je Bog glava Kristu. 4 Svaki muækarac koji moli ili prorokuje pokrivene glave, obeæçaæøuje svoju glavu. 5 A svaka œena koja moli ili prorokuje gologlava obeæçaæøuje svoju glavu, jer to je svejedno kao da je oæiæana. 6 Jer ako œena ne pokriva glavu, neka se i oæiæa! Ako je sramota œeni biti oæiæana ili obrijane glave, neka si pokrije glavu! 7 Muækarac zaista ne treba pokrivati svoju glavu, jer je slika i slava Boœja, a œena je slava muœeva. 8 Jer muœ nije od œene, nego œena od muœa, 9 ni muœ nije stvoren za œenu, nego œena za muœa.

Ovo çinite na moju uspomenu!” 25 Isto tako uzeo i çaæu, poslije veçere, te you; do this in remembrance of me.” 25 In the same manner he also took the cup after rekao: “Ova je çaæa Novi savez u mojoj krvi. supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my Ovo çinite, svaki put kad je pijete, na moju usblood.

Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy. 2 For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries. 3 But he who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men. 4 He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church. 5 I wish you all spoke with tongues, but even more that you prophesied; for he who prophesies is greater than he who speaks with tongues, unless indeed he interprets, that the church may receive edification. 6 But now, brethren, if I come to you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you unless I speak to you either by revelation, by kno-wledge, by prophesying, or by teaching? 7 Even things without life, whether flute or harp, when they make a sound, unless they make a distinction in the sounds, how will it be known what is piped or played? 8 For if the trumpet makes an uncertain sound, who will prepare himself for battle? 9 So likewise you, unless you utter by the tongue words easy to understand, how will it be known what is spoken? For you will be speaking into the air. 10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of languages in the world, and none of them is without significance. 11 Therefore, if I do not know the meaning of the language, I shall be a foreigner to him who speaks, and he who speaks will be a foreigner to me. 12 Even so you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, let it be for the edification of the church that you seek to excel. 13 Therefore let him who speaks in a tongue pray

O upotrebi duhovnih darova

Teœite za ljubavlju i çeznite za duhovnim darovima, a posebno da prorokujete. 2 Jer tko govori jezikom, ne govori ljudima, nego Bogu; jer ga nitko ne razumije; jer u duhu govori tajanstvene stvari. 3 A onaj koji prorokuje, govori na izgradnju, ohrabrenje i utjehu. 4 Tko govori jezikom sam sebe izgraåuje, tko prorokuje izgraåuje crkvu. 5 Ja œelim da biste svi govorili jezicima, a joæ viæe da prorokujete. Jer onaj koji prorokuje veøi je od onoga koji govori jezicima, osim da to ovaj protumaçi, da bi se crkva uzdigla. 6 A sada, braøo, ako doåem k vama te vam govorim jezicima, æto øu vam koristiti osim da vam govorim otkrivenje, znanje, proroçanstva ili pouke? 7 Isto tako ako neœiva glazbala, bilo svirala ili citra kad odaju zvukove, ako jasno ne daju posebne zvukove, kako øe se raspoznati æto izvodi svirala ili æto citra? 8 Ako truba daje nejasan zvuk, tko øe se spremiti za borbu? 9 Tako i vi: ako ne govorite jezikom rijeçi koje se mogu lako razumjeti, kako øe se znati æto se govori? Jer øete govoriti u vjetar. 10 Ima, moœe biti, na svijetu toliko mnogo vrsta jezika, a ni jedan od njih nije bez znaçenja. 11 Stoga, ako ja ne raspoznajem znaçenje jezika, bit øu stranac onomu koji govori, a onaj koji govori bit øe meni stranac. 12 Tako i vi, buduøi da vruøe çeznete za duhovnim darovima, nastojte ih imati u izobilju na izgradnju crkve! 13 Stoga onaj koji govori jezikom neka se moli da ga moœe protumaçiti. 14 Ako se u molitvi sluœim jezikom, moj duh

Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given orders to the churches of Galatia, so you must do also: 2 On the first day of the week let each one of you lay something aside, storing up as he may prosper, that there be no collections when I come. 3 And when I come, whomever you approve by your letters, I will send to bear your gift to Jerusalem. 4 But if it is fitting that I go also, they will go with me. 5 Now I will come to you when I pass through Macedonia (for I am passing through Macedonia). 6 But it may be that I will remain, or even spend the winter with you, that you may send me on my journey, wherever I go. 7 For I do not wish to see you now on the way; but I hope to stay a while with you, if the Lord permits. 8 But I will tarry in Ephesus until Pentecost. 9 For a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries. 10 Now if Timothy comes, see that he may be with you without fear; for he does the work of the Lord, as I also do. 11 Therefore let no one despise him. But send him on his journey in peace, that he may come to me; for I am waiting for him with the brethren. 12 Now concerning our brother Apollos, I strongly urged him to come to you with the brethren, but he was quite unwilling to come at this time; however, he will come when he has a convenient time. 13 Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong. 14 Let all that you do be done with love. 15 I urge you, brethren–you know the household of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to the ministry of the saints– 16 that you also submit to such, and to everyone who works and labors with us. 17 I am glad about the coming of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus, for what was lacking on your part they supplied. 18 For they refreshed my spirit and yours; therefore acknowledge such men. 19 The churches of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you heartily in the Lord, with the church that is in their house. 20 All the brethren greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss. 21 The salutation with my own hand–Paul. 22 If anyone does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed. O Lord, come! 23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. 24 My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Svræetak poslanice

Æto se tiçe skupljanja milostinje za svete, kako sam odredio crkvama u Galaciji, tako i vi çinite! 2 Neka svakoga prvog dana u tjednu svaki od vas posebno stavi na stranu ono æto moœe uætedjeti, da se ne skuplja kad uspijem doøi. 3 Çim ja stignem tamo, poslat øu zajedno s preporukama one koje vi pronaåete dostojnima da odnesu vaæu ljubav u Jeruzalem. 4 A bude li priliçilo da i ja idem, poøi øe sa mnom. 5 Doøi øu k vama kad proåem kroz Makedoniju. Jer ja øu proøi kroz Makedoniju. 6 A kod vas øu se, ako bude prilike, zadrœati ili çak prezimiti, da me otpratite na put kamo se god otputim. 7 Ne bih htio da vas sada vidim samo na prolazu. Ali se nadam ostati neko vrijeme kod vas, ako Gospodin dopusti. 8 U Efezu øu ostati do Pedesetnice, 9 jer su mi se otvorila velika vrata za rad, a protivnika ima mnogo. 10 Ako Timotej doåe, nastojte da moœe biti meåu vama bez straha, jer on radi na djelu Gospodinovu kao i ja. 11 Stoga neka ga nitko ne prezire, nego ga ispratite na put u miru da doåe k meni, jer ga oçekujem s braøom. 12 Æto se tiçe brata Apolona, mnogo sam ga nagovarao da ode k vama s braøom, ali nikako nije htio poøi za sada, ali øe doøi kad bude imao pogodnije vrijeme. 13 Bdijte, çvrsto stojte u vjeri, muœevno se drœite, budite jaki! 14 Sve æto çinite neka bude u ljubavi! 15 Nalaœem vam, braøo, vi znate za Stefaninov dom, da je to prvi plod koji je Ahaja prinijela i da su se posvetili sluœbi svetih. 16 Pokoravajte se i vi takvim osobama i svakomu tko suraåuje i trudi se s njima! 17 Radujem se dolasku Stefane, Fortunata i Ahajika, jer su mi oni nadoknadili to æto vas nama. 18 Jer oni su osvjeœili moj i vaæ duh. Zato, dakle, takvim ljudima dajte priznanje! 19 Pozdravljaju vas azijske crkve. Mnogo vas u Gospodinu pozdravljaju Akvila i Priska s crkvom koja je u njihovoj kuøi. 20 Pozdravljaju vas sva braøa. Pozdravite jedan drugoga svetim poljupcem! 21 Pozdrav mojom vlastitom rukom–Pavao. 22 Ako tko ne ljubi Gospodina Isusa Krista, neka je proklet. O Gospodine, doåi! 23 Milost naæega Gospodina Isusa Krista neka bude s vama. 24 Moja ljubav neka bude s vama svima u Kristu Isusu. Amen.

2THEKorinthians EPISLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE 1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, To the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in all Achaia: 2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. 5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds through Christ. 6 Now if we are afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effective for enduring the same sufferings which we also suffer. Or if we are comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation. 7 And our hope for you is steadfast, because we know that as you are partakers of the sufferings, so also you will partake of the consolation. 8 For we do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, of our trouble which came to us in Asia: that we were burdened beyond measure, above strength, so that we despaired even of life. 9 Yes, we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves but in God who raises the dead, 10 who delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver us; in whom we trust that he will still deliver us, 11 you also helping together in prayer for us, that thanks may be given by many persons on our behalf for the gift granted to us through many. 12 For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience that we conducted ourselves in the world in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom but by the grace of God, and more abundantly toward you. 13 For we are not writing any other things to you than what you read or understand. Now I trust you will understand, even to the end 14 (as also you have understood us in part), that we are your boast as you also are ours, in the day of the Lord Jesus. 15 And in this confidence I intended to come to you before, that you might have a second benefit– 16 to pass by way of you to Macedonia, to come again from Macedonia to you, and be helped by you on my way to Judea. 17 Therefore, when I was planning this, did I do it lightly? Or the things I plan, do I plan according to the flesh, that with me there should be Yes, Yes, and No, No? 18 But as God is faithful, our word to you was not Yes and No. 19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us–by me, Silvanus, and Timothy–was not Yes and No, but in him was Yes. 20 For all the promises of God in him are Yes, and in him Amen, to the glory of God through us. 21 Now he who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God, 22 who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a deposit. 23 Moreover I call God as witness against my soul, that to spare you I came no more to Corinth. 24 Not that we have dominion over your faith, but are

Apostol zahvaljuje Bogu na utjehi u nevoljama

Pavao, apostol Krista Isusa voljom Boœjom, i naæ brat Timotej crkvi Boœjoj koja je u Korintu, sa svima svetima u cijeloj Ahaji. 2 Milost vam i mir od Boga, Oca naæega, i Gospodina Isusa Krista! 3 Neka je hvaljen Bog i Otac Gospodina naæega Isusa Krista, Otac milosråa i Bog svakovrsne utjehe, 4 koji nas tjeæi u svoj naæoj nevolji, tako da mi moœemo tjeæiti one koji se nalaze bilo u kakvoj nevolji istom utjehom kojom nas tjeæi Bog, 5 Zaista, kao æto su patnje Kristove obilno u nama, tako isto preobilna postaje i naæa utjeha po Kristu. 6 Ako podnosimo nevolje, to je za vaæu utjehu i spasenje. Ako primamo utjehu, to je za vaæu utjehu koja vam omoguøuje da strpljivo podnosite iste patnje koje i mi podnosimo. 7 Naæa je nada za vas çvrsta, jer znamo da øete, kao æto dijelite s nama patnje, tako dijeliti i utjehu. 8 Ne bismo htjeli, braøo, da ostanete u neznanju u pogledu nevolje æto su nam se dogodila u Aziji i koja nas je opteretila preko svake mjere, iznad naæe snage, tako da smo izgubili nadu u œivot. 9 Çak smo u sebi smatrali sigurnom smrtnu osudu, ali to je bilo da se ne bismo uzdali sami u sebe, nego u Boga koji uskrsava mrtve. 10 On nas je oslobodio od tolike smrtne pogibli i u njega imamo povjerenje da øe nas opet osloboditi. 11 I vi øete nas pomagati molitvom, da bi tako mnogi zahvaljivali za nas zbog dobroçinstava koje smo primili posredovanjem mnogih. 12 Dakako, naæ je ponos svjedoçanstvo naæe savjesti da smo se ponaæali u svijetu, a osobito prema vama, u svetosti i iskrenosti Boœjoj; ne u tjelesnoj mudrosti, nego u Boœjoj milosti. 13 Uistinu, ne piæemo vam niæta drugo osim onoga æto moœete çitati i razumjeti. A nadam se da øete do kraja razumjeti, 14 kao æto ste nas djelomiçno veø razumjeli: da øemo mi biti vaæ ponos kao i vi naæ u Dan naæega Gospodina Isusa. 15 U ovom sam uvjerenju htio doøi najprije k vama da primite jednu drugu milost; 16 Zatim preko vaæega grada prijeøi u Makedoniju, a iz Makedonije opet se vratiti k vama, da me vi otpratite u Judeju. 17 Zato kad sam to namjeravao, zar sam bio lakomislen? Ili æto namjeravam po tijelu namjeravam, tako da je u mene istodobno: “Da, da,” i “Ne, ne,”? 18 Kao æto je Bog vjeran; naæa rijeç k vama nije zajedno: “Da,” i “Ne.” 19 Jer Sin Boœji, Krist Isus, kojega smo meåu vama propovijedali ja, Silvan i Timotej, nije bio zajedno “Da,” i “Ne,” nego u njemu je bio “Da.” 20 Jer sva obeøanja Boœja u njemu su “Da,” i u njemu Amen, na slavu Boga po nama. 21 Onaj koji i nas i vas jaça u Kristu, onaj koji nas je pomazao, jest Bog. 22 On nas je i obiljeœio peçatom i stavio nam u srca zalog, Duha. 23 Zovem Boga za svjedoka na svoju duæu, da vas poætedim, nisam viæe doæao u Korint.

Do we begin again to commend ourselves? Or do we need, as some others, epistles of commendation to you or letters of commendation from you? 2 You are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read by all men; 3 you are manifestly an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart. 4 And we have such trust through Christ toward God. 5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God, 6 who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the

Novi Zavjet zapisan u srcima

Poçinjemo li ponovno preporuçivati sami sebe? Ili su nam, moœda, kao nekima, potrebne poslanice preporuke za vas ili pisma preporuke od vas? 2 Vi ste naæa preporuka upisana u naæim srcima koju poznaju i çitaju svi ljudi. 3 Poznato je da ste vi pismo Kristovo, sastavljeno naæom skrbi, napisano ne crnilom, nego Duhom Boga œivoga, ne na ploçama od kamena, nego na ploçama tjelesnim u srcima. 4 Takvo pouzdanje kroz Krista imamo u Boga. 5 Ne da smo sami po sebi sposobni neæto pomisliti kao da to dolazi od nas, nego naæa sposobnost dolazi od Boga, 6 koji nas je i osposobio da budemo sluœbenici Novoga saveza; ne od slova, nego od Duha, jer slovo ubija, a Duh oœivljuje.

-1245- 2 Corinøanima 2 Corinthians 7 Pa ako je sluœba zakona koji ubija, koja je u letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. 7 But if the ministry of death, written and engraved kamenje urezana slovima, bila dana s tolikim on stones, was glorious, so that the sons of Israel sjajem, tako da sinovi Izraelovi nisu mogli procould not look steadily at the face of Moses because matrati Mojsijevo lice zbog sjaja njegova lica of the glory of his countenance, which glory was koji je imao nestati, 8 kako neøe sluœba Duha biti u veøem sjaju i passing away, 8 how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glori- çasti? 9 Jer, ako je sluœba koja vodi k osudi slavna, ous? 9 For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the mnogo viæe sluœba koja vodi k pravednosti ministry of righteousness exceeds much more in obiluje slavom i çaæøu. 10 Da, ovako gledano ono æto je bilo uçinjeno glory. 10 For even what was made glorious had no glory in slavno, nije slavno, zbog prevelikog ovoga sjaja. this respect, because of the glory that excels. 11 For if what is passing away was glorious, what 11 Jer, ako se prolazno pojavilo sa slavom, onda øe trajno biti mnogo slavnije. remains is much more glorious. 12 Therefore, since we have such hope, we use 12 Buduøi da imamo takvu nadu, nastupamo s velikom otvorenoæøu, great boldness of speech– 13 unlike Moses, who put a veil over his face so that 13 a ne kao Mojsije, koji si je pokrivao lice vethe sons of Israel could not look steadily at the end of lom tako da sinovi Izraelovi ne svrate pozornost na svræetak onoga æto prolazi. what was passing away. 14 But their minds were hardened. For until this day 14 Ali njihovi su umovi otupjeli. Do dana danthe same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the aænjega, naime, isto velo ostaje pri çitanju Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in Staroga Zavjeta, jer velo u Kristu nestaje. 15 Pa i sve do danas kad se çita Mojsije, Christ. 15 But even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil pokriveno je velom njihovo srce. 16 Ali kad se taj obrati Gospodinu, dignut øe se lies on their heart. 16 Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil velo. 17 A Gospodin je Duh; a gdje je Duh Gospois taken away. 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of dinov, tamo je sloboda. 18 A mi svi, koji otkrivena lica odrazujemo kao the Lord is, there is liberty. 18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a zrcalo slavu Gospodinovu, preobraœavamo se mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed u to isto obliçje, iz slave u slavu, isto kao od Gointo the same image from glory to glory, just as by the spodinova Duha. Spirit of the Lord.

Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart. 2 But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. 3 But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, 4 whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them. 5 For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake. 6 For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. 8 We are hard pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed– 10 always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body. 11 For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. 12 So then death is working in us, but life in you. 13 But since we have the same spirit of faith, accord-

Çistoøa Pavlova apostolskog djelovanja

Zato, imajuøi ovu sluœbu, jer smo postigli milosråe, mi ne gubimo hrabrost. 2 Nego smo otklanjali skrivena djela kojih bi se trebalo stidjeti. Nismo œivjeli lukavo niti izobliçavali rijeç Boœju, veø smo, otvorenim navjeæøivanjem istine, preporuçali sami sebe svakoj ljudskoj savjesti pred Bogom. 3 Ako li je zastrta naæa Radosna vijest, zastrta je onima koji propadaju; 4 onima kojima je Bog ovoga svijeta posve oslijepio nevjerniçku pamet, da jasno ne vide svjetlo sjajne Radosne vijesti Krista, koji je slika Boœja. 5 Jer mi ne propovijedamo sebe, nego Krista Isusa Gospodina; a sebe kao vaæe sluge zbog Isusa. 6 Jer je Bog zapovjedio svjetlu da zasvijetli iz tame, zasvijetlio je u naæim srcima da osvijetli spoznaju slave Boœje na licu Kristovu. 7 Ali ovo blago nosimo u zemljanim posudama da se ona izvanredna uspjeænost pripisuje Bogu, a ne nama. 8 Pritisnuti sa svih strana ali nismo smrvljeni; zbunjeni smo, ali ne oçajavamo. 9 Progonjeni, ali nismo ostavljeni; sruæeni, ali nismo uniæteni. 10 Mi uvijek i svuda na svojemu tijelu nosimo smrtne patnje Gospodina Isusa, da se na naæem tijelu pokaœe i œivot Isusov. 11 Jer mi se uvijek, dok œivimo, predajemo smrti zbog Isusa, da i œivot Isusov moœe biti objavljen na naæem smrtnom tijelu. 12 Tako smrt djeluje u nama, a œivot u vama. 13 A kako imamo onaj isti duh vjere o kojem je napisano: “Vjerujem, zato govorim,” tako i mi vjerujemo, i zato govorimo, 14 znajuøi da øe onaj koji je uskrsnuo Gospodi-

Jer mi smo hram Boga œivoga. Kao æto reçe Bog: “Ja øu boraviti meåu njima i part has a believer with an unbeliever? 16 And what agreement has the temple of God with meåu njima hodati.

Moreover, brethren, we make known to you the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia: 2 that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abou-nded in the riches of their liberality. 3 For I bear witness that according to their ability, yes, and beyond their ability, they were freely willing, 4 imploring us with much urgency that we would receive the gift and the fellowship of the ministering to the saints. 5 And this they did, not as we had hoped, but first gave themselves to the Lord, and then to us by the will of God. 6 So we urged Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also complete this grace in you as well. 7 But as you abound in everything–in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in all diligence, and in your love for us–see that you abound in this grace also. 8 I speak not by commandment, but I am testing the sincerity of your love by the diligence of others. 9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that you through his poverty might become rich. 10 And in this I give my advice: It is to your advantage not only to be doing what you began and were desiring to do a year ago; 11 but now you also must complete the doing of it;

Uspjeh u davanju

Obavjeætavamo vas, braøo, o milosti koju je Bog dao makedonskim crkvama: 2 da je u mnogoj kuænji nevoljama obilna njihova radost i njihovo krajnje siromaætvo rodilo bogatom dareœljivoæøu. 3 Svjedok sam da su, prema svojim moguønostima i iznad njih, dragovoljno darivali, 4 i usrdno nas molili za milost da mogu sudjelovati u onoj sluœbi milosråa u korist svetih. 5 I to su uçinili, ne kako smo se nadali nego su najprije sami sebe predali Gospodinu, a onda nama po Boœjoj volji. 6 Zato smo zamoliti Tita da, kao æto je prije zapoçeo, tako i dovræi meåu vama i ovo djelo milosråa. 7 Dakle, kako se u svemu istiçete, u vjeri, u govoru, u priznanju, u svakovrsnoj revnosti i u ljubavi prema nama, istaknite se i u ovom djelu milosråa. 8 Ne govorim vam ovo po zapovijedi, nego kuæam iskrenost vaæe ljubavi primjerom revnosti drugih. 9 Poznato vam je milosråe naæega Gospodina Isusa Krista, kako je On bio bogat, ali zbog vas postao je siromah, da biste vi njegovim siromaætvom postali bogati. 10 Ovim vam dajem savjet. Vama je na korist koji ste veø lanjske godine poçeli, ne samo htjeti nego i çiniti. 11 A sada i dovræite to djelo: kao æto ste bili

Now concerning the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you; 2 for I know your willingness, about which I boast of you to the Macedonians, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal has stirred up the majority. 3 Yet I have sent the brethren, lest our boasting of you should be in vain in this respect, that, as I said, you may be ready; 4 lest if some Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we (not to mention you!) should be ashamed of this confident boasting. 5 Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren to go to you ahead of time, and prepare your bountiful gift beforehand, which you had previously promised, that it may be ready as a matter of generosity and not as a grudging obligation. 6 But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. 7 So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, have an abundance for every good work. 9 As it is written: “He has dispersed abroad, he has given to the poor; his righteousness remains forever.” 10 Now may he who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you

Davati milostinju s veseljem

Dakako, suviæno je da vam dalje piæem o sluœbi milosråa prema svetima, 2 jer mi je poznata vaæa volja zbog koje se ponosim vama pred Makedoncima i kaœem da je Ahaja pripravna veø od lanjske godine. I vaæa je revnost potaknula veøinu. 3 Ipak æaljem braøu da ne bude uzalud naæe hvaljenje vama i da budete, kako sam rekao, pripravni; 4 da se sluçajno ne osramotimo mi, da ne kaœemo vi, u ovoj stvari ako doåu sa mnom neki Makedonci te vas naåu nepripravne. 5 Stoga, smatrao sam potrebnim zamoliti braøu da odu k vama prije nas i unaprijed pripreme vaæ veø obeøani obilati i velikoduæni dar, tako da bude gotov kao obilat i velikoduæni dar, a ne kao ækrta obveza. 6 Ali ovo vam kaœem: Onaj tko rijetko sije, rijetko øe i œeti; a onaj tko obilato sije, obilato øe i œeti! 7 Neka svatko dade kako je srcem odluçio, a ne sa œaloæøu i na silu, jer Bog ljubi vesela darivatelja. 8 A Bog vam moœe obilato pruœiti svaku vrstu milosti, da imate uvijek u svemu dovoljno svega, imajte u obilju za svako dobro djelo. 9 Kao æto stoji napisano: “Prosuo æirom, dade siromasima; njegova pravednost ostaje zauvijek.” 10 Onaj koji daje sijaçu sjeme, dat øe i kruh za hranu.

Now I, Paul, myself am pleading with you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ– who in presence am lowly among you, but being absent am bold toward you. 2 But I beg you that when I am present I may not be bold with that confidence by which I intend to be bold against some, who think of us as if we walked according to the flesh. 3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, 6 and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled. 7 Do you look at things according to the outward appearance? If anyone is convinced in himself that he is Christ’s, let him again consider this in himself, that just as he is Christ’s, even so we are Christ’s. 8 For even if I should boast somewhat more about our authority, which the Lord gave us for edification and not for your destruction, I shall not be ashamed– 9 lest I seem to terrify you by letters. 10 “For his letters,” they say, “are weighty and powerful, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.” 11 Let such a person consider this, that what we are in word by letters when we are absent, such we will also be in deed when we are present. 12 For we dare not class ourselves or compare ourselves with those who commend themselves. But they, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise. 13 We, however, will not boast beyond measure, but within the limits of the sphere which God appointed us–a sphere which especially includes you. 14 For we are not extending ourselves beyond our sphere (thus not reaching you), for it was to you that we came with the gospel of Christ; 15 not boasting of things beyond measure, that is, in other men’s labors, but having hope, that as your faith is increased, we shall be greatly enlarged by you in our sphere, 16 to preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another man’s sphere of accomplishment. 17 But “He who glories, let him glory in the Lord.” 18 For not he who commends himself is approved, but whom the Lord commends.

Pavao brani svoju apostolsku çast

Ja, Pavao, osobno, jako vas molim krotkoæøu i blagoæøu Kristovom; ja koji sam skroman kad sam s vama, a odvaœan kad nisam s vama. 2 Uçinite da se ne budem morao, kad budem kod vas, pokazati odluçnim s onom odluçnoæøu s kojom mislim nastupiti protiv nekih koji krivo drœe da mi postupamo na tjelesan naçin. 3 Iako, naime, œivimo u tijelu, ne borimo se na tjelesan naçin. 4 Naæe borbeno oruœje nije tjelesno, nego je moøno u Bogu za ruæenje utvrda. 5 Mi odbacujemo razmiæljanja i svako uzdizanje koje se diœe protiv priznanja Boga, i zarobljujemo svaku misao da se pokorava Kristu. 6 I pripravni smo kazniti svaku nepokornost çim bude potpuna vaæa pokornost. 7 Gledate li stvari po onomu æto je na povræini? Ako je tko siguran da je Kristov, neka opet sam od sebe promisli ovo: kao æto je on Kristov, tako smo i mi Kristovi! 8 Jer kad bi se i htio malo viæe pohvaliti naæom vlaæøu, koju nam je Gospodin dao na vaæu izgradnju, a ne na vaæu propast, neøu se stidjeti– 9 osim da vas straæim poslanicama, 10 Jer poslanice su,” govori se, “ozbiljne i stroge, ali njegova je tjelesna prisutnost slaba, a rijeç mu je bezvrijedna.” 11 Neka onaj koji to tvrdi zapamti ovo: da kakvi smo mi pismeno, kad nismo s vama, takvi øemo biti i djelom, kad smo s vama! 12 Dakako, mi se ne usuåujemo ni mjeriti ni usporeåivati s onima koji sami sebe hvale. Ali oni, buduøi da se mjere jedan s drugim i usporeåuju se sami meåu sobom, ne postupaju pametno. 13 A mi se neøemo hvaliti neumjereno, veø po odreåenoj mjeri djelokruga kojega nam je odredio Bog, djelokrug koji ukljuçuje i vas. 14 Mi se ne proteœemo preko naæeg djelokruga, tako da ne bismo doprli do vas; zapravo, stigli smo do vas s Kristovom Radosnom vijeæøu. 15 Ne hvalimo se prekomjerno, naporima drugih, nego se nadamo da øemo s napretkom vaæe vjere i mi, po naæem mjerilu, obilno uzrasti meåu vama. 16 propovijedati Radosnu vijest u krajevima preko vas, a ne da se ponosimo veø uçinjenim stvarima drugih. 17 Ali “tko se hvali, neka se u Gospodinu hvali.” 18 Jer nije prokuæan onaj koji sam sebe preporuçuje, nego onaj kojega Gospodin preporuçuje.

-1251-

Oh, that you would bear with me in a little folly–and indeed you do bear with me. 2 For I am jealous for you with godly jealousy. For I have betrothed you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. 3 But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 4 For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted, you may well put up with it. 5 For I consider that I am not at all inferior to the most eminent apostles. 6 Even though I am untrained in speech, yet I am not in knowledge. But we have been thoroughly made manifest among you in all things. 7 Did I commit sin in abasing myself that you might be exalted, because I preached the gospel of God to you free of charge? 8 I robbed other churches, taking wages from them to minister to you. 9 And when I was present with you, and in need, I was a burden to no one, for what was lacking to me the brethren who came from Macedonia supplied. And in everything I kept myself from being burdensome to you, and so I will keep myself. 10 As the truth of Christ is in me, no one shall stop me from this boasting in the regions of Achaia. 11 Why? Because I do not love you? God knows! 12 But what I do, I will also continue to do, that I may cut off the opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be regarded just as we are in the things of which they boast. 13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. 14 And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works. 16 I say again, let no one think me a fool. If otherwise, at least receive me as a fool, that I also may boast a little. 17 What I speak, I speak not according to the Lord, but as it were, foolishly, in this confidence of boasting. 18 Seeing that many boast according to the flesh, I also will boast. 19 For you put up with fools gladly, since you yourselves are wise! 20 For you put up with it if one brings you into bondage, if one devours you, if one takes from you, if one exalts himself, if one strikes you on the face. 21 To our shame, I say that we were too weak for that! But in whatever anyone is bold–I speak foolishly–I am bold also. 22 Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? So am I. 23 Are they ministers of Christ?–I speak as a fool– I am more: in labors more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths often. 24 From the Jews five times I received forty stripes minus one. 25 Three times I was beaten with rods; once I was stoned; three times I was shipwre-cked; a night and a day I have been in the deep; 26 in journeys often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils of my own countrymen, in perils of

2 Corinøanima Apostol se hvali protiv svojih klevetnika

Oh, kad biste podnijeli malo bezumlja mojega! Da, vi mene podnosite. 2 Jer ja sam ljubomoran na vas Boœjom ljubomorom, jer sam vas zaruçio s jednim zaruçnikom, da vas privedem Kristu kao çistu djevicu. 3 Ali se bojim da se sluçajno ne bi, kao æto je zmija zavela Evu svojim lukavstvom, vaæe misli pokvarile od jednostavnosti koja je u Kristu. 4 Jer ako bilo tko doåe i navjeæøuje vam drugoga Isusa, kojega mi nismo propovijedali, ili ako primate drugoga duha, kojega niste primili, ili drugo evanåelje, koje niste prihvatili, vi bolje to podnosite. 5 Drœim, dakako, da ni u çemu nisam manje vaœan od najuglednijih apostola. 6 Ako sam i nevjeæt u govoru, nisam u znanju, ætoviæe, to smo vam pokazali u svemu i pred svima. 7 Ili sam sagrijeæio æto sam vam badava navjeæøivao Radosnu vijest, ponizujuøi sam sebe da vas uzvisim? 8 Druge sam crkve plijenio, primajuøi od njih plaøu za to da vama mogu sluœiti. 9 I kad sam bio kod vas i zapao u oskudicu, nisam nikomu bio na teret. U mojoj su mi oskudici pomogla braøa koja su doæla iz Makedonije. I u svemu sam se çuvao i çuvat øu se da vam ne budem na teret. 10 Kao æto je Kristova istina u meni, nitko mi neøe oduzeti hvalu u ahajskim predjelima! 11 Zaæto? Jer vas ne ljubim? Bog zna! 12 Ali æto çinim, to øu i dalje çiniti, da mogu oduzeti zgodu onima koji traœe zgodu i priliku da budu smatrani jednaki nama u onom çime se ponose. 13 Takvi su ljudi laœni apostoli, prijevarni poslenici, koji se pretvaraju u Kristove apostole. 14 Nije ni çudo, jer se sam Sotona pretvara u anåela svjetla. 15 Stoga, nije niæta osobito ako se i njegove sluge pretvaraju kao da su sluge pravednosti, çiji øe svræetak biti prema djelima njihovim. 16 Ponavljam, neka me nitko ne drœi bezumnikom. Inaçe, kao i bezumnika primite me, da se i ja mogu malo pohvaliti. 17 Ovo æto govorim ne govorim u duhu Gospodinovu, nego kao u bezumlju, u takovoj hvali. 18 Buduøi da se mnogi hvale na tjelesan naçin, i ja øu se pohvaliti. 19 Da, vi rado podnosite bezumnike buduøi da ste mudri! 20 Zbilja podnosite, ako vas tko svodi na robove, ako vas tko izjeda, ako vas tko pljaçka, ako tko gleda s visoka, ako vas tko udara po licu. 21 Na naæu sramotu govorim: bili smo tomu slabi. Ali u çemu je bilo tko hrabar–bezumno govorim–i ja sam hrabar. 22 Jesu li Hebreji? I ja sam! Jesu li Izraelci? I ja sam! Jesu li Abrahamovi potomci?

It is doubtless not profitable for me to boast. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord: 2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago– whether in the body I do not know, or whether out of the body I do not know, God knows–such a one was caught up to the third heaven. 3 And I know such a man–whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows– 4 how he was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. 5 Of such a one I will boast; yet of myself I will not boast, except in my infirmities. 6 For though I might desire to boast, I will not be a fool; for I will speak the truth. But I forbear, lest anyone should think of me above what he sees me to be or hears from me. 7 And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure. 8 Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. 9 And he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong. 11 I have become a fool in boasting; you have compelled me. For I ought to have been commended by you; for in nothing was I behind the most eminent apostles, though I am nothing. 12 Truly the signs of an apostle were accomplished among you with all perseverance, in signs and wonders and mighty deeds. 13 For what is it in which you were inferior to other churches, except that I myself was not burdensome to you? Forgive me this wrong! 14 Now for the third time I am ready to come to you. And I will not be burdensome to you; for I do not seek yours, but you. For the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children. 15 And I will very gladly spend and be spent for your souls; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I am loved.

Izvanredne milosti apostolove

Ako treba da se hvalim, istina, to nije preporuçljivo, pristupit øu k viåenjima i objavama Gospodinovim. 2 Poznajem çovjeka u Kristu koji prije çetrnaest godina, ne znam da li u tijelu, ne znam da li izvan tijela, to Bog zna– bio je on uznesen do treøega neba. 3 Za toga çovjeka znam–ne znam da li u tijelu, ne znam da li izvan tijela, to Bog zna– 4 kako je on bio uznesen u raj i da je çuo neizrecive rijeçi koje çovjeku nije dopuæteno izreøi. 5 U pogledu toga çovjeka hvalit øu se, ali u pogledu samoga sebe neøu se hvaliti, osim svojim slabostima. 6 Istina, kad bih se i htio hvaliti, ne bih bio bezuman, jer bih govorio istinu. Ali se suzdrœavam, da ne bi tko o meni stvorio viæi pojam od onoga æto vidi na meni ili çuje od mene. 7 I da se ne bih uzoholio zbog bezmjernog obilja objava, stavljen mi je trn u tijelo, Sotonin poslanik, da me trajno muçi da se ne uzoholim. 8 Za to sam triput molio Gospodina, da ovaj odstupi od mene. 9 A on mi je odgovorio: “Dosta ti je moja milost, jer se moja snaga savræeno pokazuje u slabosti.” Zato øu se radije hvaliti svojim slabostima, da se na meni nastani snaga Kristova. 10 Zato uœivam u slabostima, u uvredama, u nevoljama, u progonstvima, u tjeskobama koje podnosim za Krista. Jer kad god sam slab, onda sam jak. 11 Postao sam bezumnik u hvaljenju! Vi ste me natjerali. Zapravo, trebalo je da me vi preporuçujete, jer ni u çemu nisam manji od tih velikih apostola, iako nisam niæta. 12 Dokazi mojega apostolstva uçinjeni su meåu vama u svoj strpljivosti, u çudesnim znacima i silnim djelima. 13 Pa æto je to u çemu ste manji od ostalih crkava, osim æto vam ja osobno nisam bio na teret? Oprostite mi tu nepravdu! 14 Evo sada, spreman sam treøi put doøi k vama, i neøu vam biti na teret, jer ne traœim ono æto je vaæe, nego vas. Uistinu, djeca nisu duœna stjecati imetak roditeljima, nego roditelji djeci. 15 A ja øu vrlo rado potroæiti i biti istroæen, za vaæe duæe. Iako ja vas mnogo viæe ljubim, nego æto sam ja ljubljen. 16 Ali kako bilo, ja vam nisam bio na teret, ali

This will be the third time I am coming to you. “By the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be established.” 2 I have told you before, and foretell as if I were present the second time, and now being absent I write to those who have sinned before, and to all the rest, that if I come again I will not spare– 3 since you seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, who is not weak toward you, but mighty in you. 4 For though he was crucified in weakness, yet he lives by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you. 5 Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Prove yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?–unless indeed you are disqualified. 6 But I trust that you will know that we are not disqualified. 7 Now I pray to God that you do no evil, not that we should appear approved, but that you should do what is honorable, though we may seem disqualified. 8 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth. 9 For we are glad when we are weak and you are strong. And this also we pray, that you may be made complete. 10 Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the authority which the Lord has given me for edification and not for destruction. 11 Finally, brethren, farewell. Become complete. Be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you. 12 Greet one another with a holy kiss. 13 All the saints greet you. 14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.

Opomene, pozdravi i blagoslovi

Ovo je treøi puta æto idem k vama. “Svjedoçanstvom dvojice ili trojice svjedoka svaka rijeç neka se utvrdi.” 2 Rekao sam vam, kad sam bio drugi put kod vas, a sad kad sam daleko od vas, piæem onima koji su prije sagrijeæili i svima ostalima kaœem da, ako ponovno doåem, nikoga neøu poætedjeti, 3 jer vi traœite dokaz da Krist govori u meni, on koji nije slab prema vama, nego je silan u vama. 4 Istina, razapet je bio zbog slabosti, ali œivi snagom Boœjom. I mi smo, istina, slabi u njemu, ali øemo se snagom Boœjom s njim pokazati œivima prema vama. 5 Sami sebe istraœite i ispitajte jeste li u vjeri! Pokaœite se. Zar ne poznajete sami sebe, da je Isus Krist u vama. Ako ne, pokazujete se nevaljanima. 6 Nadam se, poznat øete da mi nismo nevaljani. 7 Molimo Boga da ne çinite nikakva zla, ne zato da se mi pokaœemo dostojni, veø da vi trajno dobro çinite, a neka izgleda kao da mi nismo dostojni. 8 Uistinu niæta ne moœemo protiv pravednosti, nego samo u prilog pravednosti. 9 Jer mi se veselimo kad smo mi slabi, a vi jaki. Mi se zato i molimo za vaæe usavræavanje. 10 Ovo odsutan piæem zato da ne moram, kad budem prisutan, strogo postupati, prema vlasti koju mi je dao Gospodin za izgradnju, a ne za ruæenje. 11 Uostalom, braøo, veselite se, usavræavajte se, tjeæite se, budite sloœni i œivite u miru, pa øe Bog ljubavi i mira biti s vama! 12 Pozdravite jedan drugoga svetim poljupcem! 13 Pozdravljaju vas svi sveti. 14 Milost Gospodina Isusa Krista, ljubav Boga i zajedniætvo Duha Svetoga neka budu sa svima vama! Amen.

Galatians

1

Paul, an apostle (not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised him from the dead), 2 and all the brethren who are with me, To the churches of Galatia: 3 Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, 5 to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen. 6 I marvel that you are turning away so soon from him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, 7 which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed. 10 For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a servant of Christ. 11 But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. 12 For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through the revelation of Jesus Christ. 13 For you have heard of my former conduct in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy it. 14 And I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries in my own nation, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers. 15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through his grace, 16 to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood, 17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went to Arabia, and returned again to Damascus. 18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and remained with him fifteen days. 19 But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord’s brother. 20 (Now concerning the things which I write to you, indeed, before God, I do not lie.) 21 Afterward I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia; 22 and I was unknown by face to the churches of Judea which were in Christ. 23 But they were hearing only, “He who formerly persecuted us now preaches the faith which he once tried to destroy.” 24 And they glorified God in me.

Boœanski postanak Pavlova nauka

Pavao apostol, (ne od ljudi, ni po kojemu çovjeku, veø po Isusu Kristu i Bogu Ocu, koji ga je uskrsnuo od mrtvih) 2 i sva braøa koja su sa mnom: Crkvama u Galaciji. 3 Milost vam i mir od Boga, Oca naæega, i Gospodina Isusa Krista, 4 koji je sam sebe dao za naæe grijehe da nas izbavi od sadaænjega pokvarena svijeta, po volji Boga, Oca naæega! 5 Njemu slava u vijeke vjekova. Amen! 6 Çudim se da se tako brzo odvraøate od onoga koji vas je pozvao Kristovom miloæøu, te prelazite drugom evanåelju. 7 Druge nema! Ima samo nekih koji vas zbunjuju i koji œele izvrnuti Kristovu Radosnu vijest. 8 Ali, ako bi vam tko, bili to mi, bio anåeo s neba, navijestio Radosnu vijest protivno onom koju smo vam navijestili, neka je proklet! 9 Ponavljam ono æto smo upravo rekli: ako vam zbilja bilo tko navjeæøuje Radosnu vijest drukçije nego æto ste je primili, neka je proklet! 10 Nagovaram li ja ljude ili Boga? Ili traœim da ugaåam ljudima? Jer ako bih ljudima i ugaåao, ne bih bio sluga Kristov. 11 Dajem vam do znanja, braøo: da Radosna vijest koju sam vam propovijedao nije od ljudi, 12 jer niti sam je ja primio od çovjeka, niti nauçio od çovjeka, veø doåe kroz otkrivenje Isusa Krista. 13 Ta çuli ste za moje nekadaænje drœanje u Œidovstvu: kako sam preko mjere proganjao crkvu Boœju i htio je uniætiti. 14 I kako sam, u prevelikoj privrœenosti svojim oçinskim predajama, napredovao u Œidovstvu i nadmaæio sve vrænjake u svojemu narodu. 15 A kad se svidjelo Bogu koji me je odvojio od utrobe moje majke i pozvao svojom miloæøu 16 da u meni objavi Sina svojega da ga propovijedam meåu neznaboæcima, nisam se odmah posavjetovao tijelom i krvlju, 17 niti sam uziæao u Jeruzalem vidjeti one koji su bili apostoli prije mene, otiæao u Arabiju i ponovno se vratio u Damask. 18 Poslije tri godine uziæao sam u Jeruzalem da vidim Petra, i s njim ostao petnaest dana. 19 Nijednoga drugog apostola nisam vidio, osim Jakova, brata Gospodinova. 20 Za ovo æto vam piæem Bog mi je svjedok da ne laœem. 21 Onda sam doæao u sirijske i silicijske krajeve. 22 Ostao sam, meåutim, osobno nepoznat Kristovim crkvama u Judeji. 23 Jedino su çule: “Naæ nekadaænji progonitelj sada propovijeda vjeru koju je nekoø htio uniætiti,” 24 pa su slavile Boga zbog mene.

O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed among you as crucified? 2 This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? 3 Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh?

Spasenje je dar, a ne zasluga

For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles– 2 if indeed you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which was given to me for you, 3 how that by revelation he made known to me the mystery (as I wrote before in a few words, 4 by which, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ), 5 which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to his holy apostles and prophets: 6 that the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ through the gospel, 7 of which I became a minister according to the gift of the grace of God given to me by the effective working of his power. 8 To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsear-chable riches of Christ, 9 and to make all people see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ; 10 to the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places, 11 according to the eternal purpose which he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord, 12 in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through faith in him. 13 Therefore I ask that you do not lose heart at my tribulations for you, which is your glory. 14 For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 16 that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might through his

I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to have a walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, 2 with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, 3 endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. 7 But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift. 8 Therefore he says: “When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts to men.” 9 (Now this, “He ascended”–what does it mean but that he also first descended into the lower parts of the earth? 10 He who descended is also the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.) 11 And he himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, 12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, 13 till we all come to the unity of the faith and the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; 14 that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness by which they lie in wait to deceive, 15 but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into him who is the head–Christ– 16 from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love. 17 This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind, 18 having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardening of their heart; 19 who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to licentiousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. 20 But you have not so learned Christ, 21 if indeed you have heard him and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: 22 that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, 23 and be renewed in the spirit of your mind,

Jedinstvo crkve. Stari i novi çovjek

Zato vas molim, ja suœanj u Gospodinu, da œivite dostojno vaæega znanja kojim ste pozvani, 2 sa svakom poniznoæøu i blagoæøu, sa strpljenjem podnosite jedni druge s ljubavlju; 3 Nastojte saçuvati jedinstvo Duha, povezani s mirom. 4 Jedno tijelo i jedan Duh, kao æto ste pozvani u jednoj nadi vaæega poziva; 5 Jedan Gospodin, jedna vjera i jedno krætenje; 6 jedan Bog i Otac svih, koji je nad svima, koji djeluje po svima i u svima stanuje. 7 A svakomu od nas dana je milost po onoj mjeri po kojoj je Krist htio dati svoj dar. 8 Zato je On rekao: “Kad je uzlazio u visinu vodeøi zarobljeno suœanjstvo i dade ljudima darove.” 9 Poæto “On uzaåe,” æto drugo znaçi nego to da je i prvo siæao u donje dijelove zemlje? 10 On sam koji siåe jest onaj isti koji uziåe iznad svih nebesa, da tako moœe ispuniti sve. 11 On dade jedne kao apostole, druge kao proroke, jedne kao evanåeliste, druge kao pastire i uçitelje, 12 da pripravi i usavræi svete, za djelo sluœbe, za izgradnju Kristova Tijela, 13 dok svi zajedno ne doåemo k jedinstvu u vjeri i u pravoj spoznaji Sina Boœjega, k savræenom çovjeku, k mjeri punine veliçine Kristove: 14 da ne budemo viæe malodobni, igraçka valova, okolo tjerani svakim vjetrom nauke u ljudskoj prijevarnoj igri, usred prepredenosti koja lukavo çeka i krçi put prema zabludi. 15 Nego da govorimo istinu u ljubavi i u svemu uzrastemo u onoga koji je Glava, u Krista: 16 od koga cijelo tijelo, skupa povezano i skupa drœano svakovrsnom opskrbnom vezom prema djelotvornosti æto je svakom pojedinom dijelu odmjerena, ostvaruje svoj rast za izgradnju samoga sebe u ljubavi. 17 Ovo sada kaœem i svjedoçim u Gospodinu da viæe ne provodite œivot kako ga provode neznaboæci, u praznini svojega uma, 18 zamraçeni u svojem razumu, otuåeni od Boœjega œivota zbog neznanja koje je u njima i zbog okorjelosti njihova srca; 19 oni su se, izgubivæi svaki osjeøaj, predali razvratnosti da sa svom pohlepom çine neçistoøu svake vrste. 20 Ali vi niste nauçili takva Krista, 21 ako ste ga zaista çuli i bili po njemu pouçeni kao istina u Isusu, 22 da odloœite prijaænje ponaæanje, staroga çovjeka, koji raste pokvaren u varavim poœudama, 23 i obnavljati u duhu svojega razuma, 24 i odjenuti se u novoga çovjeka, koji je stvo-

Therefore be followers of God as dear children. 2 And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma. 3 But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints; 4 neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. 5 For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. 6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. 7 Therefore do not be partakers with them. 8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light 9 (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), 10 proving what is acceptable to the Lord. 11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. 12 For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. 13 But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. 14 Therefore he says: “Awake, you who sleep, arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light.” 15 See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, 16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. 18 And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, 19 speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, 20 giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, 21 submitting to one another in the fear of God. 22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and he is the Savior of the body.

Djeca svjetlosti

Budite dakle sljedbenici Boga, kao ljubljena djeca, 2 i œivite u ljubavi kao æto je i Krist vas ljubio i predao samoga sebe za nas kao prinos i œrtvu, Bogu na ugodan miris. 3 A bludnost i svaka vrsta neçistoøe ili poœude neka se i ne spominje meåu vama, kao æto se pristoji svetima! 4 Tako ni sramotne ni lude rijeçi, ni dvosmislene æale, æto sve nije na mjestu, veø radije zahvaljivanje! 5 Jer ovo znajte dobro: nijedan bludnik, nijedan neçisti, nijedan lakomac, to jest idolopoklonik, nema dijela u Kristovu i Boœjemu kraljevstvu. 6 Neka vas nitko ne vara praznim rijeçima, jer zbog ovih mana dolazi srdœba Boœja na neposluæne ljude! 7 Zato nemojte imati s njima nikakva posla! 8 Da, nekad ste bili tama, ali ste sada svjetlo u Gospodinu. Œivite kao djeca svjetla; 9 (jer plod je duha, u svakoj dobroti, pravednosti i istini), 10 i teœite za onim æto je milo Gospodinu. 11 I ne imajte udjela u besplodnim djelima tame, veø ih radije razotkrivajte. 12 Uistinu je sramota i govoriti o onomu æto oni potajno çine. 13 Ali sve æto je razotkriveno to je pokazano po svjetlu, jer sve æto je pokazano i oçitovano jest svjetlo. 14 Zato je On rekao: “Probudi se, ti koji spavaæ, ustani od mrtvih, i Krist øe ti svijetliti.” 15 Stoga, pomno pazite kako œivite! Ne kao ludi, nego kao mudri; 16 iskupljujuøi vrijeme, jer su ovi dani zli. 17 Zato ne budite bezumni, nego upoznavajte æto je volja Gospodinova! 18 I ne opijajte se vinom, jer u tomu leœi propast, veø se napunite Duhom! 19 Govorite jedni drugima u psalmima, hvalospjevima i duhovnim pjesmama! U svojemu srcu pjevajte Gospodinu, 20 zahvaljujuøi uvijek za sve Bogu, Ocu, u ime naæega Gospodina Isusa Krista! 21 Pokoravajte se jedan drugom iz poætovanja pred Kristom! 22 Œene pokoravajte se svojim muœevima kao Gospodinu, 23 jer je muœ glavar œene kao æto je i Krist glavar

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 “Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with promise: 3 “that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.” 4 And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord. 5 Servants, be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in sincerity of heart, as to Christ; 6 not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart, 7 with good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men, 8 knowing that whatever good anyone does, he will receive the same from the Lord, whether he is a slave or free. 9 And you, masters, do the same things to them, giving up threatening, knowing that your own Master also is in heaven, and there is no partiality with him. 10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perse-

Djeco, pokoravajte se svojim roditeljima u Gospodinu, jer je to pravedno. 2 Poætuj svojega oca i majku,” to je prva zapovijed popraøena obeøanjem, 3 da ti dobro bude i da dugo œiviæ na zemlji.” 4 A vi, oçevi, ne razdraœujte djece svoje, veø ih odgajajte uçenjem i opomenama Gospodinovim. 5 Robovi, pokoravajte se svojim zemaljskim gospodarima sa strahopoætovanjem, s iskrenoæøu svojega srca, kao Kristu! 6 Ne sluœite samo na oko kao da se ljudima œelite svidjeti, veø kao robovi Kristovi koji od svega srca vræe volju Boœju! 7 Sluœite dragovoljno kao da sluœite Gospodinu, a ne ljudima, 8 znajuøi da øe svaki, bio on rob ili slobodnjak, ako æto dobro uçini, primiti za to plaøu od Gospodina! 9 A vi, gospodari, jednako se vladajte prema njima! Klonite se prijetnji, znajuøi da je njihov i vaæ Gospodar na nebu. Kod njega nema pristranosti. 10 Ubuduøe budite jaki u Gospodinu i njegovoj silnoj moøi! 11 Odjenite se u bojnu opremu Boœju da se moœete suprotstaviti åavolskim napadajima! 12 Jer naæa borba nije protiv krvi i tijela, nego protiv poglavarstava, protiv vlasti, protiv vrhovnika ovoga mraçnog svijeta, protiv zlih duhova koji borave u nebeskim prostorima. 13 Zato uzmite i na se stavite bojnu opremu Boœju da se moœete oduprijeti u zli dan, i kad sve nadvladate, odrœati se! 14 Zato dakle, stojte çvrsto! Opaæite svoje bokove istinom, na sebe odjenite oklop pravednosti. 15 Obujte noge svoje spremnoæøu za Radosnu vijest mira! 16 Povrh svega uzmite ætit vjere; njime øete moøi zaustaviti sve goruøe strijele zloga! 17 Uzmite kacigu spasenja i maç Duha, koji je rijeç Boœja. 18 Molite se Bogu proænjom i molitvom s Duhom u svakoj prigodi, i k tomu bdijte sa svom

Filipljanima POSLANICA APOSTOLA PAVLA

Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ, To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, with the bishops and deacons: 2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, 4 always in every prayer of mine making request for you all with joy, 5 for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now, 6 being confident of this very thing, that he who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ; 7 just as it is right for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart, inasmuch as both in my chains and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers with me of grace. 8 For God is my witness, how greatly I long for you all with the affection of Jesus Christ. 9 And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment, 10 that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ, 11 being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God. 12 But I want you to know, brethren, that the things which happened to me have actually turned out for the furtherance of the gospel, 13 so that it has become evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my chains are in Christ; 14 and most of the brethren in the Lord, having become confident by my chains, are much more bold to speak the word without fear. 15 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from good will: 16 The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains; 17 but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel. 18 What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes, and will rejoice. 19 For I know that this will turn out for my salvation through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, 20 according to my earnest expectation and hope

Pavao i Timotej, sluge Krista Isusa, svima svetima u Kristu Isusu koji su u Filipima, s nadglednicima i pomoønicima. 2 Milost vam i mir od Boga, Oca naæega i od Gospodina Isusa Krista! 3 Zahvaljujem svojemu Bogu kad god vas se sjetim, 4 svaki put u svakoj svojoj molitvi rado molim za sve vas, 5 zbog vaæega udjela u æirenju Radosne vijesti od prvoga dana do sada. 6 Siguran sam u ovo isto da øe onaj koji je poçeo dobro djelo meåu vama dovræiti ga do Dana Krista Isusa. 7 I pravedno je da ove osjeøaje gajim prema svima vama, jer vas nosim u srcu, vas sve koji ste sudionici moje milosti kako u mojim okovima tako u obrani i utvråivanju Radosne vijesti. 8 Bog mi je svjedok da izgaram za vama svima ljubavlju Krista Isusa. 9 I ovo je moja molitva, neka vaæa ljubav sve viæe raste u pravoj spoznaji i svakom rasuåivanju, 10 da moœete prihvatite ono æto je bolje: da budete iskreni i besprijekorni do Kristovog dana, 11 da budete ispunjeni plodom pravednosti, po Isusu Kristu, na slavu i hvalu Boga. 12 Ali hoøu da znate, braøo, da ono æto se meni dogodilo okrenulo u napredovanje Radosne vijesti, 13 tako da su moji okovi postali poznati kao okovi zbog Krista cijeloj carskoj tjelesnoj straœi i svima ostalima, 14 i da se veøina braøe u Gospodinu, pouzdane mojim okovima, usuåuje sve viæe bez straha propovijedati rijeç Boœju. 15 Jedni, istina, propovijedaju Krista iz zavisti i natjecanja, a drugi iz dobre volje: 16 oni prvi zadojeni çastohlepljem propovijedaju Krista neiskreno, s namjerom da poveøaju bol mojih okova; 17 oni drugi iz ljubavi, jer znaju da sam postavljen za obranu Radosne vijesti. 18 Pa æto øe biti? Niæta osim æto se na svaki naçin, bilo pod izlikom bilo iskreno, Krist propo-

Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, 2 fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. 3 Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. 4 Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others. 5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, 7 but made himself of no reputation, taking the form of a servant, and coming in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. 9 Therefore God also has highly exalted him and given him the name which is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. 12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; 13 for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for his good pleasure. 14 Do all things without murmuring and disputing, 15 that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,

Primjer Krista. Revnost u dobru

Ako æto vrijedi pobuda u Kristu, ako æto ljubazna utjeha, ako zajednica s Duhom, ako njeœnost i samilost, 2 uçinite potpunom moju radost: budite sloœni, imajte istu ljubav, isto srce i jednu te istu misao! 3 Ne çinite niæta iz sebiçnosti ili umiæljenost, nego u poniznosti smatrajte jedan drugoga veøim od sebe! 4 Neka svaki od vas ne gleda samo na svoju vlastitu korist nego i na korist drugih! 5 Teœite meåu sobom za onim za çim treba da teœite u Kristu Isusu! 6 On u Boœjemu obliçju, nije drœao za otimaçinu svoje jednakosti s Bogom, 7 nego je sam sebe uçinio neznatnim te uzeo na sebe obliçje sluge i postao sliçan obiçnim ljudima. 8 I da je postao obliçjem poput çovjeka, On je ponizio sam sebe, i postao posluæan sve do smrti i to do smrti na kriœu. 9 Zato ga Bog uzdiœe na najviæu visinu i dade mu ime koje je iznad svakoga imena, 10 da se Isusovom imenu pokloni svako koljeno nebeskih, zemaljskih i podzemaljskih biøa, 11 I da svaki jezik treba priznati, da je Isus Krist Gospodin, na slavu Boga Oca. 12 Stoga, ljubljeni moji, posluæni, kako ste uvijek bili, ne samo kad sam ja prisutan nego joæ viæe sada kad sam odsutan, sa strahom i drhtanjem nastojte da postignete svoje spasenje. 13 Bog je, naime, onaj koji proizvodi u vama i volju i djelovanje da mu se moœete svidjeti. 14 Çinite sve bez mrmljanja i bez odgovora, 15 da postanete besprijekorni i çisti, bezazlena djeca Boœja bez mane usred nevaljana i pokvarenog naraætaja, meåu kojem svijetlite kao

Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. For me to write the same things to you is not tedious, but for you it is safe. 2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the mutilation! 3 For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh, 4 though I also might have confidence in the flesh. If anyone else thinks he may have confidence in the flesh, I more so: 5 circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee; 6 concerning zeal, persecuting the church; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. 7 But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. 8 But indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; 10 that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being conformed to his death, 11 if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.

Laœni uçitelji. Svi za Krista

Nadalje, braøo moja, radujte se u Gospodinu! Meni nije dosadno isto vam pisati, a vama sluœi za sigurnost. 2 Çuvajte se pasa, çuvajte se petljanaca, çuvajte se krivo obrezanih! 3 Jer obrezani smo mi koji Bogu sluœimo s Duhom i koji se radujemo u Kristu Isusu, a ne uzdajemo u tijelo, 4 iako bi se ja mogao i u tijelo pouzdati. Ako tko drugi misli da ima razloga u tijelo se uzdati, ja ih imam joæ viæe: 5 Obrezan osmi dan, iz roda Izraelova, iz plemena Benjaminova, Hebrej od Hebreja; po Zakonu, farizej; 6 po revnosti, progonitelj crkve Boœje; po pravednosti koja dolazi od Zakona, besprijekoran. 7 Ali sve æto mi je bilo vrijedno, ja to sada raçunam izgubljeno za Krista. 8 Zaista, ja isto raçunam sve izgubljeno za najveøe spoznaje Krista Isusa, mojega Gospodina, zbog njega sam sve izgubio i sve to smatram smeøem, samo da steknem Krista, 9 da budem u njemu, ne svojom pravednoæøu, onom koja dolazi od Zakona, nego onom kroz vjeru u Krista, pravednoæøu koja dolazi od Boga po vjeri; 10 da upoznam njega i silu njegova uskrsnuøa i udio u njegovim patnjama, da budem tjeæen njegovom smrøu, 11 ne bih li bilo kako postigao uskrsnuøe od

Therefore, my beloved and longed-for brethren, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, beloved. 2 I implore Euodia and I implore Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord. 3 And I urge you also, true companion, help these women who labored with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the Book of Life. 4 Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. 6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy–meditate on these things. 9 The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you. 10 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at last your care for me has flourished again; though you surely did care, but you lacked opportunity. 11 Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: 12 I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. 14 Nevertheless you have done well that you shared in my distress.

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, 2 To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ who are in Colosse: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, 4 since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of your love for all the saints; 5 because of the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel, 6 which has come to you, as it has also in all the world, and is bringing forth fruit, as it is also among you since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth; 7 as you also learned from Epaphras, our dear fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on your behalf, 8 who also declared to us your love in the Spirit. 9 For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; 10 that you may have a walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; 11 strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy; 12 giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light. 13 He has delivered us from the power of darkness and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love, 14 in whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins. 15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through him and for him.

Pavao, apostol Krista Isusa voljom oœjom, i naæ brat Timotej, 2 Svetoj i vjernoj braøi u Kristu, koji su u Kolosi: Milost vama i mir od Boga, Oca naæega, i Gospodina Isusa Krista! 3 Zahvaljujemo Bogu, Ocu Gospodina naæega Isusa Krista, uvijek kad molimo za vas, 4 jer smo çuli za vaæu vjeru u Kristu Isusu i za vaæu ljubav prema svima svetima; 5 zbog nade koja se za vas çuva na nebu, za njega ste prije çuli propovijedanjem istine Radosne vijesti, 6 koja je doæla k vama, kao i po cijelom svijetu rodna i napredna takva je i meåu vama, od onoga dana u koji ste çuli i upoznali milost Boœju u istini. 7 U to vas je pouçio Epafra, ljubljeni naæ drug u sluœbi, koji je za vas vjerni sluga Kristov, 8 koji nas je i obavijestio o vaæoj ljubavi u Duhu. 9 Zato i mi od onoga dana u koji smo to çuli ne prestajemo moliti za vas i œelimo da vas Bog napuni potpunom spoznajom svoje volje svakovrsnom mudroæøu i duhovnim razumijevanjem, 10 Tako da œivite dostojno Gospodina, da mu budete ugodni u svemu; da budete plodonosni svakom vrstom dobrih djela i da napredujete u spoznaji Boga; 11 Ojaçani svom snagom njegove slavne moøi, za postojanost i strpljivost s radoæøu; 12 veselo zahvaljujte Ocu, koji nas je uçinio dostojnim sudionicima u baætini svetih u svjetlu. 13 On nas je izbavio iz vlasti tame i prenio u kraljevstvo svojega ljubljenoga Sina, 14 u kojemu imamo otkupljenje, po njegovoj krvi, i oproætenje grijeha. 15 On je savræena slika Boga nevidljivoga, prvoroåenac iznad svakoga stvorenja, 16 jer je po njemu sve stvoreno, sve na nebu i na zemlji; vidljivo i nevidljivo, bilo prijestolja, bilo gospodstva, bilo poglavarstva, bilo vlasti; sve je stvoreno po njemu i za njega. 17 On je prije svega, i sve se u njemu drœi u

For I want you to know what a great conflict I have for you and those in Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh, 2 that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, and attaining to all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the knowledge of the mystery of God, both of the Father and of Christ, 3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. 4 Now this I say lest anyone should deceive you with persuasive words. 5 For though I am absent in the flesh, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good order and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ. 6 As you have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, 7 rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving. 8 Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. 9 For in him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; 10 and you are complete in him, who is the head of all principality and power. 11 In him you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, 12 buried with him in baptism, in which you also were raised with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.

Çvrsto stajati uz Isusa Krista

Zato bih œelio da znate kako veliku borbu izdrœavam za vas, za one u Laodiceji i za sve one koji ne vide lica mojega u tijelu, 2 da njihova srca mogu biti ohrabljena, zajedno povezana u ljubavi, da postignu sve bogatstvo punoga i sigurnoga razumijevanja, pravu spoznaju Boœje tajne, od Oca i od Krista, 3 u kojemu je skriveno sve blago mudrosti i znanja. 4 A ovo kaœem zato da vas tko ne prevari lukavim govorom. 5 Iako sam osobno odsutan, u duhu sam s vama; radujem se dok gledam vaæ red i vaæu çvrstoøu u vjeri u Krista. 6 Kako ste primili Gospodina Krista Isusa, tako nastavite u njemu œivjeti: 7 u njemu çvrsto ukorijenjeni, na njemu stalno nagraåivani i uçvræøivani vjerom, kako ste pouçeni, obilujte zahvalnoæøu! 8 Pazite da vas tko ne prevari filozofijom, ispraznom prijevarom, po ljudskim predajama, po prirodnim silama svijeta, a ne prema Kristu. 9 Jer u njemu tjelesno prebiva sva punina Boœanstva, 10 po njemu ste i vi ispunjeni, koji je glava svakoga Poglavarstva i Vlasti. 11 Vi ste u njemu i obrezani; ne obrezanjem obavljenim rukom, nego obrezanjem Kristovim: odlaganjem tijela koje sluœi grijehu. 12 Zajedno s njim pokopani ste u krætenju, isto ste tako s njim i uskrsnuli s vjerom u snagu Boga, koji ga je uskrsnuo od mrtvih. 13 Vas koji ste zbog prekræaja i neobrezanja

If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. 2 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. 5 Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. 6 Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience, 7 in which you also once walked when you lived in them. 8 But now you must also put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth. 9 Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds, 10 and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of him who created him, 11 where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all and in all. 12 Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; 13 bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. 14 But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. 15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be

Stari novi çovjek

Dakle, ako ste uskrsnuli s Kristom, traœite ono æto je gore, gdje se nalazi Krist sjedeøi Bogu s desne strane. 2 Upravljajte misao na ono æto je gore, ne na ono æto je na zemlji. 3 Jer ste umrli i vaæ je œivot skriven s Kristom u Bogu. 4 A kad se pojavi Krist, vaæ œivot, tada øete se i vi s njim pojaviti zaodjenuti slavom. 5 Usmrtite, dakle, vaæe udove tijelu koji su na zemlji: bludnost, neçistoøa, poœuda, zle œelje i lakomstvo, a to je idolopoklonstvo. 6 Zbog kojih dolazi srdœba Boœja na neposluænu djecu, 7 u kojima ste i vi nekad œivjeli kad ste provodili œivot u njima. 8 Ali i sada odbacite od sebe sve ovo: srdœbu, naglost, zloøu; izbacite iz usta svojih psovku i sramotne rijeçi! 9 Ne laœite jedan drugomu, jer ste svukli staroga çovjeka s njegovim djelima, 10 a odjenuli novoga koji se uvijek obnavlja za stanje prave spoznaje prema slici svojega Stvoritelja. 11 Tu nema viæe ni Grka ni Œidova, ni obrezanog ni neobrezanog, ni barbara ni Skita, ni roba ni slobodnjaka, veø Krist, koji je sve i u svemu. 12 Odjenite se, dakle, kao izabranici Boœji, sveti i ljubljeni, u milosrdnu srdaçnost, dobrotu, poniznost, krotkost i strpljivost! 13 Podnosite jedan drugoga i opraætajte jedan drugomu, ako tko protiv koga ima neæto. Kao æto je Krist vama oprostio, tako çinite i vi! 14 A povrh svega toga zaodjenite se u ljubav, koja je veza savræenosti! 15 I neka u vaæim srcima vlada mir Kristov, na koji ste i pozvani u jednom tijelu!

Masters, give your servants what is just and fair, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven. 2 Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving; 3 meanwhile praying also for us, that God would open to us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in chains, 4 that I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak. 5 Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time. 6 Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one. 7 Tychicus, who is a beloved brother, a faithful minister, and a fellow servant in the Lord, will tell you all the news about me. 8 I am sending him to you for this very purpose, that he may know your circumstan-ces and comfort your hearts, 9 with Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will make known to you all things which are happening here. 10 Aristarchus my fellow prisoner greets you, with Mark the cousin of Barnabas (about whom you received instructions: if he comes to you, welcome him), 11 and Jesus who is called Justus. These are my only fellow workers for the kingdom of God who are of the circumcision; they have proved to be a comfort to me. 12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, greets you, always laboring fervently for you in prayers, that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God. 13 For I bear him witness that he has a great zeal for you, and those who are in Laodicea, and those in Hierapolis. 14 Luke the beloved physician and Demas greet you. 15 Greet the brethren who are in Laodicea, and Nymphas and the church that is in his house. 16 Now when this epistle is read among you, see

Oni øe vam priopøiti sve æto se ovdje dogaåa. 10 Pozdravlja vas drug moj u suœanjstvu, Aristarh, i Marko, neøak Barnabin (za kojega ste primili upute; kad doåe k vama, lijepo ga primite), 11 i Isus, koji se zove Just. Ovi su jedini od obrezanih moji suradnici koji rade sa mnom za kraljevstvo Boœje, Oni su se pokazali mojom utjehom. 12 Pozdravlja vas Epafra, sluga Krista Isusa; on je jedan od vas, koji se uvijek trudi molitvama za vas da biste postali savræeni i puni svega æto je po volji Boœjoj. 13 Jer ja svjedoçim za njega da se jako mnogo trudi za vas i za ostalu braøu iz Laodiceje i iz Hijeropola. 14 Pozdravljaju vas ljubljeni lijeçnik Luka i Dema. 15 Pozdravite braøu u Laodiceji i Nimfa, zajedno s crkvom koja se sastaje u njegovoj kuøi. 16 Kad se proçita ova poslanica kod vas, pobrinite se da se proçita i u laodicejskoj crkvi, a vi

1 Thessalonians THE EPISLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE

Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 2 We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers, 3 remembering without ceasing your work of faith, labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of our God and Father, 4 knowing, beloved brethren, your election by God. 5 For our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit and in much assurance, as you know what kind of men we were among you for your sake. 6 And you became followers of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit, 7 so that you became examples to all in Macedonia and Achaia who believe. 8 For from you the word of the Lord has sounded forth, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place. Your faith toward God has gone out, so that we do not need to say anything. 9 For they themselves declare concerning us what manner of entry we had to you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, 10 and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come.

2

For you yourselves know, brethren, that our coming to you was not in vain. 2 But even after we had suffered before and were spitefully treated at Philippi, as you know, we were bold in our God to speak to you the gospel of God in much conflict. 3 For our exhortation did not come from deceit or uncleanness, nor was it in guile. 4 But as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, even so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God who tests our hearts. 5 For neither at any time did we use flattering words, as you know, nor a cloak for covetousness–God is witness. 6 Nor did we seek glory from men, either from you or from others, when we might have made demands as apostles of Christ. 7 But we were gentle among you, just as a nursing mother cherishes her own children. 8 So, affectionately longing for you, we were well pleased to impart to you not only the gospel of God, but also our own lives, because you had become dear to us. 9 For you remember, brethren, our labor and toil; for laboring night and day, that we might not be a bur-

Zahvala za plodove Radosne vijesti

Pavao, Silvan i Timotej solunskoj crkvi, koja je u Bogu Ocu i Gospodinu Isusu Kristu. Milost vama i mir, od Boga naæega Oca i Gospodina Isusa Krista! 2 Uvijek zahvaljujemo Bogu za sve vas kad vas spomenemo u svojim molitvama, 3 sjeøajuøi se bez prestanka vaæe djelotvorne vjere, poœrtvovne ljubavi i postojane nade u naæemu Gospodinu Isusu Kristu pred naæim Bogom i Ocem, 4 Znamo, od Boga ljubljena braøo, da ste izabrani, 5 buduøi da Radosna vijest nije doæla k vama samo u rijeçima, nego i u snazi, i u Duhu Svetom, sigurni i puni uvjerenja. Uostalom, znate kako smo se vladali meåu vama zbog vas. 6 I vi ste, primajuøi rijeç u velikoj nevolji s radoæøu koju daje Duh Sveti, postali naæi i Gospodinovi baætinici, 7 tako da ste postali uzor svim vjernicima u Makedoniji i Ahaji. 8 Jer od vas je rijeç Gospodinova odjeknula, ne samo u Makedoniji i Ahaji, nego se svuda proæirio glas o vaæoj vjeri u Boga, tako da mi o tomu ne trebamo govoriti. 9 Jer oni sami govore o nama na kakav smo doçek naiæli kod vas i kako ste se obratili od idola k Bogu, da sluœite œivom i istinitom Bogu 10 i da çekate njegova Sina s nebesa, kojega je uskrsnuo od mrtvih, Isusa, naæega osloboditelja od srdœbe koja øe doøi.

Propovijedanje Pavlovo u Solunu

Vi i sami znate, braøo, da naæ dolazak k vama nije bio uzaludan. 2 Iako smo prije u Filipima, pretrpjeli pogrde, kako veø znate, ohrabrili smo se u naæemu Bogu propovijedajuøi vam Radosnu vijest Boœju uz teæku borbu. 3 Jer naæe poticanje ne dolazi od zablude, ili od neçistoøe, niti je s prijevarom, 4 veø kako nas je Bog udostojio i povjerio nam Radosnu vijest, tako govorimo, ne ugoditi ljudima, veø Bogu, koji prokuæava naæa srca. 5 Nikada nismo nastupali ni s laskavim rijeçima ni s pritajenom œeljom za bogatstvom. Tomu je Bog svjedok. 6 Nismo traœili od ljudi slave, niti od vas niti od drugih, iako smo mogli nastupiti kao apostoli Kristovi. 7 Ali mi smo bili meåu vama blagi. Kao majka kad doji svoju djecu. 8 Tako smo çeznuli za vama, i bili spremni predati vam ne samo Radosnu vijest Boœju nego i svoj œivot jer ste nam omiljeli. 9 Ta, sjeøate se, braøo, naæega truda i umora!

Paul, time and again–but Satan hindered us. 19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? 20 Jest, vi ste naæa slava i naæa radost. Is it not even you in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming? 20 For you are our glory and joy.

Therefore, when we could no longer endure it, we thought it good to be left in Athens alone, 2 and sent Timothy, our brother and minister of God, and our fellow laborer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you and encourage you concerning your faith, 3 that no one should be shaken by these afflictions; for you yourselves know that we are appointed to this. 4 For, in fact, we told you before when we were with you that we would suffer tribu-lation, just as it happened, and you know. 5 For this reason, when I could no longer endure it, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter had tempted you, and our labor might be in vain. 6 But now that Timothy has come to us from you, and brought us good news of your faith and love, and that you always have good remembrance of us, greatly desiring to see us, as we also to see you– 7 therefore, brethren, in all our affliction and distress we were comforted concerning you by your faith. 8 For now we live, if you stand fast in the Lord. 9 For what thanks can we render to God for you, for all the joy with which we rejoice for your sake before our God, 10 night and day praying exceedingly that we may see your face and perfect what is lacking in your faith? 11 Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way to you. 12 And may the Lord make you increase and abound in love to one another and to all, just as we do to you, 13 so that he may establish your hearts bla-meless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming

Pavao æalje Timoteja

Zato kad nismo mogli viæe izdrœati, mislili smo da je bolje ostati nama samima u Ateni, 2 i poslali smo vam svojega brata i suradnika slugu Boœjega u Kristovoj Radosnoj vijesti, Timoteja, da vas uçvrsti i ohrabri u vaæoj vjeri, 3 te da se nitko ne pokoleba u ovim nevoljama, jer vi sami, naime, znate da su one naæa sudbina. 4 Doista, kad smo bili kod vas, unaprijed smo vam govorili da øemo trpjeti nevolje, æto se, kao æto znate, i dogodilo. 5 Stoga, kad nisam viæe mogao izdrœati, poslao sam da doznam o vaæoj vjeri, da vas nije moœda iskuæao napasnik i da tim ne postane uzaludan naæ trud. 6 Ali se sada Timotej vratio od vas k nama i donio nam radosnu vijest o vaæoj vjeri i ljubavi, i da nas uvijek imate dobru sjeøanju, i da vruøe çeznete vidjeti nas kao i mi vas. 7 Zato smo se, braøo, vaæom vjerom utjeæili u svoj svojoj nevolji i bijedi. 8 Jer mi sada oœivljujemo ako vi çvrsto stojite u Gospodinu. 9 Kakvu zbilja zahvalu moœemo uzvratiti Bogu za vas, za svu radost koju osjeøamo pred naæim Bogom zbog vas? 10 Noøu i danju najusrdnije molimo da vidimo vaæe lice i da nadopunimo æto joæ nedostaje vaæoj vjeri. 11 Sam Bog, naæ Otac, i naæ Gospodin Isus neka poravnaju naæ put do vas! 12 Neka vam Gospodin dade da rastete i obilujete u ljubavi jedan prema drugomu i prema svima, kako i mi prema vama,

Finally then, brethren, we urge and exhort in the Lord Jesus that you should abound more and more, just as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God; 2 for you know what commandments we gave you through the Lord Jesus. 3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual immorality; 4 that each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, 5 not in passion of lust, like the Gentiles who do not know God; 6 that no one should take advantage of and defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also forewarned you and testified. 7 For God did not call us to uncleanness, but in holiness. 8 Therefore he who rejects this does not reject man, but God, who has also given us his Holy Spirit. 9 But concerning brotherly love you have no need that I should write to you, for you yourselves are taught by God to love one another; 10 and indeed you do so toward all the brethren who are in all Macedonia. But we urge you, brethren, that you increase more and more; 11 that you also aspire to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you, 12 that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and that you may lack nothing. 13 But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with him those who sleep in Jesus. 15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.

But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. 2 For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. 3 For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. 4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. 5 You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. 6 Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us

Uskrsnuøe i Kristov drugi dolazak

Nadalje, braøo, molimo vas i savjetujemo u Gospodinu Isusu, da prema pouci koju ste od nas primili, prema kojoj veø i œivite i ugaåate Bogu, da sve viæe i viæe obilno napredujete. 2 Bez sumnje znate koje smo vam zapovijedi dali u ime Gospodina Isusa. 3 Ovo je, naime, volja Boœja: vaæe posveøenje, to jest da izbjegavate bludnost, 4 da svatko od vas treba znati svoje vlastito tijelo posjedovati u svetosti i poætovanju, 5 ne sa straæøu poœude, kao neznaboæci koji ne poznaju Boga; 6 Da nitko u trgovini ne grijeæi i ne vara svojega brata, jer se Gospodin osveøuje za sve ovo, kako smo vam i prije rekli i posvjedoçili. 7 Bog nas, uistinu, nije pozvao k neçistoøi, nego k posveøenju. 8 Stoga, onaj koji prezire ovo, ne prezire çovjeka, nego Boga, koji vam je dao svojega Svetog Duha. 9 A glede bratske ljubavi nema potrebe o tomu vam pisati, jer vas je sam Bog pouçio da ljubite jedan drugoga; 10 zaista to i çinite prema svoj braøi u cijeloj Makedoniji. Samo vas, braøo, potiçemo da u tomu joæ viæe napredujete 11 i da briœno nastojite œivjeti u miru, baviti se svojim poslovima i raditi vlastitim rukama, kao æto smo vam zapovjedili, 12 da se dostojno vladate prema onima koji su vani, da imate svega i da niæta ne trebate od njih. 13 Ali neøu dopustiti, braøo, da ostanete u neznanju æto se tiçe onih koji su umrli, da se ne œalostite kao ostali koji nemaju nade. 14 Jer, ako vjerujemo da je Isus umro i uskrsnuo, tako øe Bog i one koji su usnuli u Isusu dovesti s Njim. 15 Ovo vam kaœemo rijeçju Gospodina: da mi koji œivimo i ostajemo do dolaska Gospodinova, nipoæto neøemo preteøi one koji su usnuli. 16 Gospodin øe osobno zapovjedniçkim zovom, s glasom arkanåela i sa zvukom trube Boœje siøi s neba. I najprije øe uskrsnuti umrle u Kristu. 17 Zatim øemo mi koji œivimo, mi preostali, biti skupa s njima odneseni u zrak na oblacima u susret Gospodinu. I tako øemo zauvijek biti s Gospodinom. 18 Stoga, tjeæite jedan drugoga tim rijeçima. Dan Gospodinov

A o vremenima i dobama, braøo, nije vam potrebno o tomu pisati. 2 Jer vi i sami vrlo dobro znate da øe Dan Gospodinov doøi kao kradljivac u noøi. 3 Dok ljudi budu govorili: “Mir i sigurnost!” Tada øe se iznenada na njih pasti propast, kao poroåajna bol na trudnu œenu. Oni neøe uteøi. 4 Ali vi, braøo, niste u tami da bi vas onaj Dan mogao iznenaditi i zateøi kao kradljivac. 5 Vi ste svi sinovi svjetla i sinovi dana, mi ne pripadamo noøi niti tami. 6 Stoga, ne spavajmo kao ostali, veø budimo budni i trijezni!

Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: 2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is fitting, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of every one of you all abounds toward each other, 4 so that we ourselves boast of you among the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that you endure, 5 which is manifest evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you also suffer; 6 since it is a righteous thing with God to repay with tribulation those who trouble you, 7 and to give you who are troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, 8 in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Molimo vas, braøo, za dolazak naæega Gospodina Isusa Krista i za naæe skupljanje oko njega, 2 da ne dopuætate da vas olako izbezumi i prestraæi ni objava, ni govor, ni naæa poslanica, kao da je veø tu Dan Gospodinov! 3 Neka vas nitko i nikako ne zavede! Jer taj dan neøe doøi, ukoliko najprije ne doåe otpadanje i ne pojavi se çovjek grijeha, sin propasti. 4 Protivnik koji sam sebe oholo uzdiœe protiv svega æto ljudi nazivaju Bogom ili drœe za sveto, tako da sjedne u Boœji hram pokazujuøi sebe kao da je Bog. 5 Zar se ne sjeøate da sam vam ovo govorio joæ kad sam bio kod vas? 6 Znate æto ga sada zadrœava da se ne pojavi nego tek u svoje vrijeme. 7 Bez sumnje, tajna bezakonja veø pokazuje svoju silu; samo neka bude uklonjen onaj koji ga do sada zadrœava, 8 i tada øe biti otkriven taj Bezakonik kojega øe Gospodin Isus ubiti dahom svojih usta i uniætiti ga sjajem svojega dolaska. 9 Dolazak Bezakonika bit øe, dakako, uz suradnju Sotone, popraøen svakovrsnim silnim djelima, varavim çudesnim znakovima 10 i sa svakom prijevarom nepravde meåu onima koji propadaju, za kaznu æto nisu prihvatili ljubav prema istini da bi se tako spasili. 11 Zato øe im Bog poslati moø zablude, tako da vjeruju laœi, 12 da mogu biti osuåeni svi koji nisu vjerovali u istinu, veø pristali s uœitkom uz nepravednost. 13 Ali mi uvijek namjeravamo zahvaljivati Bogu za vas, braøo, koje ljubi Gospodin, jer vas je Bog od poçetka izabrao za spasenje koje se postiœe posveøenjem Duha i vjerom u istinu. 14 K tomu vas je i pozvao po naæoj Radosnoj vijesti da postignete slavu naæega Gospodina Isusa Krista. 15 Stoga, braøo, budite postojani i drœite predaje koje ste od nas primili, bilo usmeno, bilo pismeno! 16 Neka sam naæ Gospodin Isus Krist i Bog, Otac naæ, koji nas je ljubio i po milosti nam dao vjeçnu utjehu i dobru nadu, 17 utjeæi srca vaæa i uçvrsti ih u svakom dobrom djelu i rijeçi.

Otpadanje od Krista

Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to him, we ask you, 2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. 3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. 5 Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? 6 And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of his mouth and destroy with the brightness of his coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, 10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, 12 that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrig-hteousness. 13 But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth, 14 to which he called you by our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our epistle. 16 Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and our God and Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting consolation and good hope by grace, 17 comfort your hearts and establish you in every good word and work.

Naposljetku, molite, braøo, za nas da Gospodinova rijeç nastavi trçati i proslavljati se kao i kod vas, 2 i da bi smo se mogli osloboditi od pokvarenih i zlih ljudi; jer svi, naime, nemaju vjere. 3 Gospodin je vjeran i On øe vas ojaçati i saçu-

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the commandment of God our Savior and the Lord Jesus Christ, our hope, 2 To Timothy, my true son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord. 3 As I urged you when I went into Macedonia–remain in Ephesus that you may charge some that they teach no other doctrine, 4 nor give heed to fables and endless gene-alogies, which cause disputes rather than godly edification which is in faith. 5 Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from sincere faith, 6 from which some, having strayed, have turned aside to idle talk, 7 desiring to be teachers of the law, understanding neither what they say nor the things which they affirm. 8 But we know that the law is good if one uses it lawfully, 9 knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of

Pavao, apostol Isusa Krista po zapovijedi Boga, naæega Spasitelja, i Gospodina Isusa Krista, naæe nade– 2 Timoteju, pravom sinu u vjeri. Milost, milosråe i mir od Boga naæega Oca i Isusa Krista Gospodina naæega! 3 Kao æto sam te molio kad sam odlazio u Makedoniju, tako i sada, da joæ ostaneæ u Efezu, da naloœiæ nekima da ne nauçavaju krivih nauka 4 i da se ne bave bajkama i beskrajnim rodoslovljima, koja viæe vode k prepiranju nego Boœjim napretkom koji je u vjeri. 5 A svrha je spomenute zapovijedi ljubav iz çista srca, od dobre savjesti i od iskrene vjere. 6 Od toga su neki zastranili i skrenuli u prazno brbljanje. 7 Hoøe da budu uçitelji Zakona, iako ne razumiju ni ono æto govore ni ono æto uporno tvrde. 8 Znamo pak da je Zakon dobar za onoga tko se njime ispravno sluœi, 9 svjestan toga da Zakon nije uspostavljen za pravednika, nego za bezakonike i nepokorne, za bezboœnike i grjeænike, za nesvete i oskvrnitelje svetinja, za ubojice otaca i ubojice majki,

Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, 2 for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time, 7 for which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle–I am speaking the truth in Christ and not lying– a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. 8 Therefore I desire that the men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting; 9 in like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing, 10 but, which is proper for women professing godliness, with good works. 11 Let a woman learn in silence with all submission. 12 And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence. 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression. 15 Nevertheless she will be saved in child-bearing if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with selfcontrol.

Moliti se za svakoga

Ja vas, prije svega, molim da upravljate proænje, molitve, zazive, zahvaljivanja za sve ljude, 2 za kraljeve i za sve koji vladaju, da bi provodili tih i miran œivot u punoj poboœnosti i dostojanstvu. 3 Jer to je dobro i ugodno pred Bogom, Spasiteljem naæim, 4 koji hoøe da se svi ljudi spase i doåu do potpune spoznaje istine. 5 Jer jedan je Bog, jedan je posrednik izmeåu Boga i ljudi: çovjek Krist Isus 6 koji sebe samoga dade u otkup za sve, svjedoçanstvo u svoje vrijeme. 7 Zato sam ja bio postavljen propovjednikom i apostolom–istinu kaœem u Kristu i ne laœem– uçiteljem neznaboœaca u vjeri i istini. 8 Zato hoøu da ljudi mole na svakomu mjestu, podiœuøi svete ruke, bez srdœbe i sumnje. 9 Isto tako hoøu da se œene pristojno odijevaju, da se kite stidom i skromnoæøu, ne s pletenicama, ni zlatom i biserima ili skupocjenim haljinama, 10 veø djelima ljubavi, kako i dolikuje œenama koje ispovijedaju vjeru. 11 Œena neka uçi u skrovitosti sa svom podloœnoæøu! 12 Ne dopuætam œeni da pouçava niti da vræi vlast nad muœem; ætoviæe, neka bude u tiæini. 13 Jer Adam je bio stvoren prvi, onda Eva. 14 Osim toga, Adam nije zaveden, veø je œena, poæto je zavedena, upala u grijeh. 15 Ali øe se ona spasiti vræenjem majçinskih duœnosti ako ustraje s øednoæøu u vjeri, ljubavi i posveøenju.

Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, 2 speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, 3 forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. 4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving; 5 for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. 6 If you instruct the brethren in these things, you will be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished in the words of faith and of the good doctrine which you have carefully followed. 7 But reject profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise yourself rather to godliness. 8 For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come. 9 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance. 10 For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe. 11 These things command and teach. 12 Let no one despise your youth, but be an example

Biti vjeran svojem duhovnom pozivu

A Duh izriçito govori da øe u posljednja vremena neki otpasti od vjere i pristati uz prijevarne duhove i åavolske nauke, 2 podmukle laæce, koji su oœigosani u vlastitoj savjesti, 3 koji zabranjuju œenidbu i nareåuju suzdrœavanje od jela koja je Bog stvorio da ih vjernici, oni æto su potpuno upoznali istinu, uzimaju sa zahvalnoæøu. 4 Jer svako stvorenje Boœje je dobro, i niæta ne treba odbaciti, ako se to uzima sa zahvalnoæøu; 5 jer je posveøeno, rijeçju Boœjom i molitvom. 6 Ako ovo sve izloœiæ braøi tako da shvate, ti øeæ biti dobar sluœbenik Krista Isusa, othranjen rijeçima vjere i dobrom naukom koju si vjerno slijedio. 7 Izbjegavaj odurne, bezboœne i babama svojstvene priçe! Mjesto toga vjeœbaj se u poboœnosti! 8 Tjelovjeœba donosi malu korist, a poboœnost donosi potpunu korist, jer joj pripada obeøanje œivota, œivota sadaænjega i buduøega. 9 To je istinita rijeç i zasluœuje svako priznanje. 10 Zbog toga se mi trudimo i patimo od sramote, jer smo postavili svoju nadu u œivoga Boga, koji je Spasitelj svih ljudi, a osobito onima koji vjeruju. 11 Ovo prenosi i pouçavaj!

Do not rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father, the younger men as brothers, 2 the older women as mothers, the younger as sisters, with all purity. 3 Honor widows who are really widows. 4 But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them first learn to show piety at home and to repay their parents; for this is good and acceptable before God. 5 Now she who is really a widow, and left alone, trusts in God and continues in supplications and prayers night and day. 6 But she who lives in pleasure is dead while she lives. 7 And these things command, that they may be blameless. 8 But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever. 9 Do not let a widow under sixty years old be taken into the number, and not unless she has been the wife of one man, 10 well reported for good works: if she has brought up children, if she has lodged strangers, if she has washed the saints’ feet, if she has relieved the afflicted, if she has diligently followed every good work. 11 But refuse the younger widows; for when they have begun to grow wanton against Christ, they desire to marry, 12 having condemnation because they have cast off their first faith. 13 And besides they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house, and not only idle but also gossips and busybodies, saying things which they ought not. 14 Therefore I desire that the younger widows marry, bear children, manage the house, give no opportunity to the adversary to speak reproachfully. 15 For some have already turned aside after Satan. 16 If any believing man or woman has widows, let them relieve them, and do not let the church be burdened, that it may relieve those who are really widows. 17 Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and doctrine. 18 For the Scripture says, “You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain,” and, “The laborer is worthy of his wages.” 19 Do not receive an accusation against an elder except from two or three witnesses. 20 Those who are sinning rebuke in the presence of all, that the rest also may fear. 21 I charge you before God and the Lord Jesus Christ and the elect angels that you observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing with partiality.

Vladanje prema raznim staleœima

Na starca se ne otresaj, nego ga opomeni kao oca, mladiøe kao braøu, 2 starice kao majke, djevojke kao sestre u svoj çistoøi. 3 Poætuj udovice koje su prave udovice! 4 Ako koja udovica ima djecu ili unuçad, neka oni najprije nauçe pokazati ljubav kod kuøe i uzvraøati svojim roditeljima, jer je to dobro i ugodno pred Bogom. 5 Prava udovica, ona koja je ostala sama, stavila je svoju nadu u Boga i provodi noø i dan u proænjama i molitvama. 6 Naprotiv, ona koja se odaje nasladama mrtva je sve ako i œivi. 7 Ovo im nareåuj, da trebaju biti besprijekorne! 8 Ako se tko za svoje, a osobito za svoje ukuøane, ne brine, zatajio je vjeru; gori je od nevjernika. 9 Neka se unese u udoviçki popis samo ona udovica koja ne bude mlaåa od æezdeset godina, samo jedanput udavana, 10 koju preporuçuju njezina djela ljubavi, to jest, ako je djecu odgojila, ako je bila gostoljubiva, ako je prala noge svetima, ako je pomagala nevoljnima, ako se posvetila svakoj vrsti dobrih djela. 11 Mlaåe udovice, naprotiv, odbij, jer kad ih privuçe naslada protivna Kristu, hoøe da se ponovno udaju, 12 jer su osuåene æto su prekræile prije zadanu vjeru. 13 A uz to se nauçe i besposlici obilazeøi po kuøama, pa ne samo da postanu besposlene veø i brbljave i spletkarice te govore æto ne treba. 14 Stoga, hoøu da se mlaåe udovice udaju, djecu raåaju, da budu domaøice, da ne daju protivniku nikakva razloga za napast zbog uvrede. 15 Neke su veø siæle s pravog puta i poæle za Sotonom. 16 Ako koji vjernik, muæko ili œensko, ima udovice (u rodbini), neka ih pomaœe; i neka se ne optereøuje crkva, tako da moœe pomoøi pravim udovicama. 17 Starjeæine koji dobro upravljaju, osobito one koji se trude u rijeçi i nauci, treba smatrati dostojnima dvostruke çasti. 18 Pismo, naime, govori: “Ne zavezuj usta volu koji vræi œito,” i joæ: “Radnik zasluœuje svoju plaøu.” 19 Tuœbe protiv sveøenika ne primaj, osim na osnovi dvaju ili triju svjedoka. 20 One koji grijeæe ukori pred svima, da i ostali imaju strah! 21 Nalaœem pred Bogom i Gospodinom Isusom Kristom i izabranim anåelima, da sve ovo

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus, 2 To Timothy, my beloved son: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. 3 I thank God, whom I serve with a pure conscience, as my forefathers did, as without ceasing I remember you in my prayers night and day, 4 greatly desiring to see you, being mindful of your tears, that I may be filled with joy, 5 when I call to remembrance the genuine faith that is in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded is in you also. 6 Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands. 7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. 8 Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God, 9 who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began, 10 but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, 11 to which I was appointed a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles. 12 For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that he is able to keep what I have committed to him until that Day. 13 Hold fast the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. 14 That good thing which was committed to you, keep by the Holy Spirit who dwells in us. 15 This you know, that all those in Asia have turned away from me, among whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes. 16 The Lord grant mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain; 17 but when he arrived in Rome, he sought me out very diligently and found me. 18 The Lord grant to him that he may find mercy from the Lord in that Day–and you know very well how many ways he ministered to me at Ephesus.

Milost, milosråe i mir od Boga Oca i Krista Isusa, Gospodina naæega! 3 Zahvaljujem Bogu kojemu sluœim, kao i moji preci, çistom savjesti dok te se bez prestanka, noø i dan, sjeøam u svojim molitvama. 4 Kad se sjetim tvojih suza, vruøe te œelim vidjeti, da bih se napunio radoæøu. 5 kad dozovem u sjeøanje iskrenu vjeru koja je u tebi; koja se najprije nastanila u tvojoj baki Loidi i u tvojoj majci Euniki, a siguran sam i u tebi. 6 Zato ti pripominjem da raspiriæ dar Boœji koji je u tebi polaganjem mojih ruku. 7 Jer Bog nam nije dao duh bojaœljivosti, veø duh snage, ljubavi i trijeznosti. 8 Stoga, ne stidi se svjedoçanstva za naæega Gospodina ni mene, njegova suœnja! Naprotiv, dijeli sa mnom teœnju za Radosnu vijest, oslanjajuøi se na snagu Boga, 9 koji nas je spasio i pozvao svetim zvanjem ne po naæim djelima, veø po vlastitoj odluci i milosti koja nam je od vjeçnosti dana u Kristu Isusu, 10 a koja se sada objavila dolaskom naæega Spasitelja Krista Isusa, koji je uniætio smrt i obznanio œivot i besmrtnost s Radosnom vijeæøu, 11 za koju sam ja postavljen glasnikom, apostolom i uçiteljem neznaboœaca. 12 Zbog toga razloga ovo i trpim, ali uza sve to ja se ne stidim, jer ja znam komu sam vjerovao i uvjeren sam da On moœe saçuvati ono æto sam mu povjerio, do onoga Dana. 13 Za uzor zdravog propovijedanja æto si çuo od mene u vjeri i ljubavi koja je u Kristu Isusu! 14 Çuvaj ono dragocjeno povjereno blago uz pomoø Duha Svetoga koji prebiva u nama. 15 Svi koji su u Aziji, ti to veø znaæ, napustili su me. Meåu njima su Figel i Hermogen. 16 Neka Gospodin bude milostiv Oneziforovu domu jer me je çesto utjeæio; nije se stidio mojih okova, 17 veø, naprotiv, kad je doæao u Rim, briœno me potraœio i naæao. 18 Neka mu dade Gospodin da moœe naøi milosråe kod Gospodina u onaj Dan! A koliko mi je puta uçinio uslugu u Efezu, ti to najbolje znaæ.

I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom: 2 Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; 4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. 5 But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry. 6 For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand. 7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 8 Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved his appearing. 9 Be diligent to come to me quickly; 10 for Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present world, and has departed for Thessalonica– Crescens for Galatia, Titus for Dalmatia. 11 Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for ministry. 12 And Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus. 13 Bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas when you come–and the books, especially the parchments. 14 Alexander the coppersmith did me much harm. May the Lord repay him according to his works. 15 You also must beware of him, for he has greatly resisted our words. 16 At my first defense no one stood with me, but all

Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect and the acknowledgment of the truth which is according to godliness, 2 in hope of eternal life which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began, 3 but has in due time manifested his word through preaching, which was committed to me according to the commandment of God our Savior; 4 To Titus, my true son in our common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior. 5 For this reason I left you in Crete, that you should set in order the things that are lacking, and appoint elders in every city as I commanded you– 6 if a man is blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of dissipation or insubordination. 7 For a bishop must be blameless, as a steward of God, not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money, 8 but hospitable, a lover of what is good, soberminded, just, holy, self-controlled, 9 holding fast the faithful word as he has been taught, that he may be able, by sound doctrine, both to exhort and convict those who contradict. 10 For there are many insubordinate, both idle talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision, 11 whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole households, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of dishonest gain. 12 One of them, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.” 13 This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith, 14 not giving heed to Jewish fables and commandments of men who turn from the truth. 15 To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled. 16 They profess to know God, but in works they deny him, being abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work.

But as for you, speak the things which are proper for sound doctrine: 2 that the older men be sober, reverent, temperate,

Pavao, sluga Boœji i apostol Isusa Krista, po vjeri Boœjih izabranika i za spoznanje istine koja je po poboœnosti, 2 u nadi vjeçnog œivota, koji je prije poçetka vremena obeøao Bog, koji ne moœe lagati, 3 a svoju rijeç objavi u svoje vrijeme propovijedanjem koje je meni povjereno zapovijeåu Boga, naæega Spasitelja– 4 Titu, pravom sinu po zajedniçkoj vjeri. Milost i mir od Boga Oca i Gospodina Isusa Krista, Spasitelja naæega! 5 Zato sam te ostavio na Kreti da upotpuniæ æto nedostaje i da po svim gradovima postaviæ starjeæine kako sam ti osobno zapovjedio: 6 Ako je tko besprigovoran, jedanput œenjen, ako ima djecu vjernike koja se ne mogu optuœiti zbog razuzdanosti i nepokornosti. 7 Jer biskup, kao Boœji upravitelj, mora biti besprigovoran: ne samovoljan, ne sklon srdœbi, ne sklon piøu, ne nasilan, ne svadljivac, ni lakom za novac, 8 veø gostoljubiv, dobrostiv, razborit, pravedan, poboœan, gospodar sebe, 9 potpuno privrœen pouzdanom propovijedanju nauka kojega je nauçio, da moœe i opominjati u zdravoj nauci i pobijati protivnike. 10 Ima, naime, mnogo pobunjenika, brbljavaca i zavodnika, osobito meåu obrezanima, 11 kojima treba zatvoriti usta jer unesreøuju cijele obitelji, nauçavajuøi ono æto nebi smjeli, a sve to zbog prljavog dobitka. 12 Reçe jedan od njihovih vlastitih proroka: “Kreøani su uvijek laœljivi, zle œivine, lijeni trbusi.” 13 Ovo je svjedoçanstvo istinito. Stoga ih strogo karaj da bi bili zdravi u vjeri, 14 da ne prianjaju uz œidovske priçe i zapovijedi ljudi koji istini okreøu leåa. 15 Onima koji su çisti sve je çisto, ali onima koji su okaljani i nevjernici niæta nije çisto, nego çak su im okaljani i razum i savjest. 16 Oni tvrde da poznaju Boga, ali ga djelima nijeçu, jer su odurni i neposluæni i ni za kakvo dobro djelo sposobna stvorenja.

Let no one despise you. 15 Ovo govori, hrabri, opominji i kori sa svom vlaæøu! Neka te nitko ne prezire!

Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work, 2 to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men. 3 For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another. 4 But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, 5 not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, 6 whom he poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 that having been justified by his grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. 8 This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men. 9 But avoid foolish disputes, genealogies, contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and useless. 10 Reject a divisive man after the first and second admonition, 11 knowing that such a person is warped and sinning, being self-condemned. 12 When I send Artemas to you, or Tychicus, be diligent to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to spend the winter there. 13 Send Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their jour-

Podsjeøaj ih da se pokoravaju poglavarima i vlastima, da budu posluæni, da budu spremni za svako dobro djelo, 2 da o nikomu ne govore zlo, da budu blagi i susretljivi prema svim ljudima. 3 I mi smo nekad bili nerazumni, neposluæni, varalice, robovi mnogovrsnih poœuda, slasti i uœitaka, œiveøi u zloøi, zavisti i mrzitelji jedni drugih. 4 Ali kad se pojavila dobrota i ljubav Boga, naæega Spasitelja prema ljudima, 5 ne po pravednim djelima koja smo mi uçinili, veø po njegovom milosråu, spasi pranjem ponovnog raåanja, obnove Duha Svetoga. 6 koga je obilno izlio na nas po naæem Spasitelju Isusu Kristu, 7 da, opravdani njegovom miloæøu, budemo baætinici vjeçnoga œivota kojemu se nadamo. 8 Ovo je pouzdana rijeç i hoøu da ovo uporno tvrdiæ te da oni koji su povjerovali Bogu paœljivo nastave vræenje dobrih djela. Ona su dobra i korisna ljudima. 9 A kloni se ludih rasprava, rodoslovlja, svaåe i prepiranja o Zakonu izbjegavaj jer su beskorisna i isprazna. 10 Krivovjerca, nakon prve i druge uzaludne opomene, istjeraj, 11 svjestan da je takav çovjek pokvaren i da grijeæi, premda ga osuåuje vlastita savjest. 12 Çim ti poæaljem Artemu ili Tihika, poœuri se k meni u Nikopol, jer sam odluçio tamo zimovati! 13 Briœno opskrbi za put pravnika Zenu i Apolona, da im niæta ne bi nedostajalo!

Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, To Philemon our beloved friend and fellow laborer, 2 to the beloved Apphia, Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church in your house: 3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 4 I thank my God, making mention of you always in my prayers, 5 hearing of your love and faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints, 6 that the sharing of your faith may become effective by the acknowledgment of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus. 7 For we have great joy and consolation in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed by you, brother. 8 Therefore, though I might be very bold in Christ to command you what is fitting, 9 yet for love’s sake I rather appeal to you–being such a one as Paul, the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ– 10 I appeal to you for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten while in my chains, 11 who once was unprofitable to you, but now is profitable to you and to me. 12 I am sending him back. You therefore receive him, that is, my own heart, 13 whom I wished to keep with me, that on your behalf he might minister to me in my chains for the gospel. 14 But without your consent I wanted to do nothing, that your good deed might not be by compulsion, as it were, but voluntary. 15 For perhaps he departed for a while for this purpose, that you might receive him forever, 16 no longer as a slave but more than a slave, as a beloved brother, especially to me but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord. 17 If then you count me as a partner, receive him as you would me. 18 But if he has wronged you or owes you anything, put that on my account. 19 I, Paul, am writing with my own hand. I will repay–not to mention to you that you owe me even your own self besides. 20 Yes, brother, let me have joy from you in the Lord; refresh my heart in the Lord. 21 Having confidence in your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I say. 22 But, meanwhile, also prepare a guest room for me, for I trust that through your prayers I shall be granted to you. 23 Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you, 24 as do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my fellow laborers. 25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.

Pavao, suœanj Isusa Krista, i brat naæ Timotej, Filemonu naæem ljubljenom suradniku, 2 i naæoj sestri Apiji, naæem suborcu vojniku Arhipi i crkvi u tvojoj kuøi. 3 Milost vam i mir od Boga, Oca naæega, i Gospodina Isusa Krista! 4 Zahvaljujem Bogu svojemu uvijek kad te se sjeøam u svojim molitvama 5 Çujem za tvoju ljubav i vjeru koju imaæ prema Gospodinu Isusu i prema svim svetima; 6 da zajedniætvo tvoje vjere bude djelotvorno u spoznanju svakoga dobra meåu vama u Kristu Isusu. 7 Zbilja me je uvelike obradovala i utjeæila tvoja ljubav, jer si ti, brate, okrijepio srca svetih. 8 Zato, premda imam puno opravdanje u Kristu da ti zapovjedim æto si duœan çiniti, 9 radije te molim u ime poznate ljubavi, takav kakav upravo jesam: Pavao, starac, a sada i suœanj Krista Isusa. 10 Molim te za svojega sina kojega sam rodio u okovima, za Onezima, 11 koji ti je nekada bio nekoristan, a koji je sada i tebi i meni vrlo koristan. 12 Njega vam æaljem natrag, dakle, primite ga, to jest moje srce. 13 Htio sam ga zadrœati kod sebe da mi mjesto tebe sluœi u okovima koje nosim zbog Radosne vijesti. 14 Ali nisam bez tvojega pristanka niæta htio çiniti, da tvoje dobroçinstvo ne bude kao prisilno, veø svojevoljno. 15 Moœda je zato bio odijeljen od tebe na kratko vrijeme da ti bude povraøen zauvijek, 16 ne sada viæe kao rob, nego viæe od roba, kao dragi brat; posebno meni izvanredno drag, a koliko viæe tebi i po naravi i po Gospodinu! 17 Ako, dakle, mene smatraæ za druga, primi njega kao mene! 18 A ako te je u çemu oætetio ili ti æto duguje, to unesi u moj raçun. 19 Ja, Pavao, potpisujem vlastoruçno, ja øu to platiti, da ti ne kaœem da si i sam sebe meni duœan. 20 Hajde, brate, da se okoristim s tobom u Gospodinu! Okrijepi moje srce u Kristu! 21 S povjerenjem u tvoju posluænost, piæem ti ovo, znajuøi da øeæ uçiniti i viæe nego æto traœim. 22 A u isto vrijeme pripravi mi gostinjsku sobu, jer se nadam da øu vam po vaæim molitvama biti dobrostivo darovan. 23 Pozdravljaju te Epafra, koji je sa mnom suœanj u Kristu Isusu, 24 Marko, Aristarh, Dema i Luka, moji suradnici. 25 Milost Gospodina Isusa Krista s duhom vaæim!

THE EPISLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE

POSLANICA APOSTOLA PAVLA

God, who at various times and in different ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, 2 has in these last days spoken to us by his Son, whom he has appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds; 3 who being the brightness of his glory and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, 4 having become so much better than the angels, as he has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. 5 For to which of the angels did he ever say: “You are my Son, today I have begotten you”? And again: “I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son”? 6 But when he again brings the firstborn into the world, he says: “Let all the angels of God worship him.” 7 And of the angels he says: “Who makes his angels spirits and his ministers a flame of fire.” 8 But to the Son he says: “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of your Kingdom. 9 You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness more than your companions.” 10 And: “You, Lord, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands; 11 They will perish, but you remain; and they will all grow old like a garment; 12 Like a cloak you will fold them up, and they will be changed. But you are the same, and your years will not fail.” 13 But to which of the angels has he ever said: “Sit at my right hand, Till I make your enemies your footstool”? 14 Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?

2

Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away. 2 For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just reward, 3 how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard him, 4 God also bearing witness both with signs and wonders, with various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to his own will? 5 For he has not put the world to come, of which we speak, in subjection to angels. 6 But one testified in a certain place, saying: “What is man that you are mindful of him, or the son of man that you take care of him? 7 You made him a little lower than the angels; you crowned him with glory and honor, and set him over the works of your hands. 8 You have put all things in subjection under his feet.” For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we do not yet see all things put under him.

Kristovo dostojanstvo

Bog koji je nekad mnogo puta i na mno go naçina govorio oçevima po prorocima, 2 a sada u ovim posljednjim danima govorio nam je po Sinu, kojega je postavio baætinikom svega i po kojemu je stvorio svjetove. 3 On, koji je sjaj slave njegove i savræeni otisak njegove osobe, koji sve uzdrœava svojom silnom rijeçju, poæto je sam ostvario oçiæøenje naæih grijeha, sjede s desne strane Veliçanstva u visinama, 4 i postao je toliko uzviæeniji od anåela, koliko je dobio u baætinstvu odliçnije ime od njih. 5 Jer zbilja, kojemu je od anåela On bilo kad rekao: “Ti si moj Sin; ja sam te danas rodio?” I joæ: “Ja øu mu biti Otac i on øe meni biti Sin”? 6 A kad On ponovno uvede Prvoroåenca u svijet, govori: “Neka mu se poklone svi anåeli Boœji!” 7 Dok za anåele govori: “On anåele svoje çini vjetrovima, a sluœbenike svoje plamenim ognjem.” 8 A Sinu, On reçe: “Prijestolje tvoje, Boœe, postoji vjeçno, a œezlo pravde je œezlo tvojega kraljevskog dostojanstva. 9 Ljubio si pravednost, a mrzio bezakonje, zato te Bog, tvoj Bog, pomazao uljem radosti viæe nego tvoje sudruge.” 10 I joæ: “Ti si, Gospodine, u poçetku udario temelje zemlje, a nebesa su djelo ruku tvojih. 11 Ona øe proøi, a ti ostajeæ. I sve øe ostarjeti kao ogrtaç. 12 Ti øeæ ih smotati kao plaæt, kao ogrtaç. I oni øe se promijeniti, a ti ostajeæ isti, i tvoje godine neøe prestati.” 13 A kojemu je od anåela ikad rekao: “Sjedi mi s desna dok ne poloœim neprijatelje tvoje podnoœjem tvojim nogama”? 14 Zar nisu svi (anåeli) sluœbujuøi duhovi æto se obiçavaju slati da sluœe onima koji imaju baætiniti spasenje?

Krist Kralj

Stoga trebamo svesrdnije paziti na ono æto smo çuli, da sluçajno ne promaæimo cilj. 2 Jer ako je rijeç po anåelima izreçena bila çvrsta pa je svaki prijestup i neposluænost rijeçi primio pravednu kaznu, 3 kako øemo joj izbjeøi mi ako zanemarimo takvo i toliko spasenje? Ovo je Gospodin poçeo propovijedati, a potvrdili su za nas oni koji su çuli 4 dok je Bog istovremeno zajamçio çudesnim znakovima, raznim silnim djelima i darovima Duha Svetoga koje dijeli po svojoj volji. 5 Uistinu, Bog anåelima nije podloœio buduøega svijeta o kojem govorimo. 6 Ali netko negdje sveçano posvjedoçi: “Æto je çovjek da ga se spominjeæ, ili sin çovjeçji, da se brineæ za njega? 7 Jer si ga uçinio malo niœim od anåela; ovjençao si ga slavom i çaæøu i postavio ga nad djelima ruku svojih. 8 Sve si podloœio pod njegove noge.” Time On je sve njemu podloœio, niæta nije ostavio æto mu ne bi bilo podloœeno. Sada joæ ne vidimo da mu je sve podloœeno.

Zbog toga se ne stidi zvati ih braøom, not ashamed to call them brethren, 12 saying: “I will declare your name to my brethren; 12 govoreøi: “Navijestit øu ime tvoje braøi svoin the midst of the congregation I will sing praise to joj, usred skupætine øu ti pjevati hvale.” 13 I joæ: “Ja øu se i dalje uzdati u njega:” I opet: you.” 13 And again: “I will put my trust in him.” And again: “Evo mene i djece moje koju mi je dao Bog.” “Here am I and the children whom God has given 14 Isto tako kao æto su djeca sudionici tijela i krvi, On je i sam postao sudionik u tomu istomu; me.” 14 Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of da bih smrøu uniætio onoga koji ima vlast nad flesh and blood, he himself likewise shared in the smrøu, to jest åavla, same, that through death he might destroy him who 15 i da oslobodi sve one koji su cijeli œivot bili podloœeni ropstvu strahom od smrti. had the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and release those who through fear of death were 16 Jer, doista, On ne daje pomoø anåelima, veø daje pomoø potomstvu Abrahamovu. all their lifetime subject to bondage. 16 For indeed he does not give aid to angels, but he 17 Zato je u svemu morao postati sliçan svojoj braøi, da bude visoki sveøenik milostiv i vjeran does give aid to the seed of Abraham. 17 Therefore, in all things he had to be made like his u odnosu prema Bogu, da uspostavi pomirenje brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful High i oçisti grijehe naroda.

Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus, 2 who was faithful to him who appointed him, as Moses also was faithful in all his house. 3 For this One has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who built the house has more honor than the house. 4 For every house is built by someone, but he who built all things is God. 5 And Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which would be spoken afterward, 6 but Christ as a Son over his own house, whose house we are if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end. 7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you will hear his voice, 8 do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, in the day of trial in the wilderness, 9 where your fathers tested me, proved me, and saw my works forty years. 10 Therefore I was angry with that generation, and said, ‘They always go astray in their heart, and they have not known my ways.’ 11 So I swore in my wrath, ‘They shall not enter my rest.’ ” 12 Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God; 13 but exhort one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end, 15 while it is said: “Today, if you will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.” 16 For who, having heard, rebelled? Indeed, was it not all who came out of Egypt, led by Moses? 17 Now with whom was he angry forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose corpses fell in the

Krist nad Mojsijem

Zato, sveta braøo, koji ste dionici nebeskoga poziva, promatrajte Apostola i Visokog Sveøenika naæeg ispovijedanja, Krista Isusa. 2 On je vjeran onomu koji ga je postavio, kao æto je bio i Mojsije vjeran u svoj kuøi Njegovoj. 3 Ovaj je çovjek zavrijedio toliko veøe slave od Mojsija, kao æto graditelj kuøe ima veøu çast od kuøe. 4 Zbilja, svaka kuøa ima graditelja, a graditelj svega jest Bog. 5 Mojsije je, istina, bio vjeran u kuøi Boœjoj u svojstvu sluge, da svjedoçi za ono æto je Bog imao objaviti, 6 ali Krist kao Sin nad svojom kuøom, çija kuøa smo mi, ako çvrsto çuvamo pouzdanje i radost nade do kraja. 7 Zato, kako govori Duh Sveti: “Danas ako hoøete çuti glas njegov, 8 ne otvrdnite srca svoja kao u onoj pobuni, u dan pobune u pustinji, 9 gdje su me iskuæavali oçevi vaæi, iskuæavali me, a çetrdeset godina gledali su djela moja. 10 Zato sam se rasrdio na taj naraætaj i rekao sam: ‘Uvijek lutaju srcem svojim. I nisu priznali putove moje,’ 11 Stoga sam se zakleo u srdœbi svojoj: ‘Ne, neøe uøi u poçinak moj!’ ” 12 Pazite, braøo, da se u koga od vas ne naåe zlo nevjerno srce, odlazeøi od Boga œivoga, 13 nego hrabrite jedni druge dan za danom sve dok traje “ovo danas,” da koji od vas ne otvrdne zavodljivoæøu grijeha. 14 Mi smo uistinu postali sudionici Kristovi, samo ako odrœimo svoje poçetno pouzdanje, do kraja, 15 dok se govori: “Danas kad çujete glas njegov, ne otvrdnite srca svoja kao u onoj pobuni.” 16 Koji su to æto su çuli pa se pobunili?

Stoga, dok joæ ostaje obeøanje za ulazak u Njegov poçinak, bojmo se da ne zakasni netko od vas. 2 I mi smo, uistinu, primili Radosnu vijest kao i oni. Ali njima rijeç koju su çuli nije koristila niæta, jer se nisu pridruœili onima koji su je s vjerom çuli. 3 U poçinak ulazimo mi, vjernici, prema onomu æto je rekao: “Tako sam se zakleo u srdœbi svojoj; Ne, neøe uøi u poçinak moj!” Iako su djela njegova dovræena od postanka svijeta. 4 Jer On je na nekom mjestu ovako rekao za sedmi dan: “Bog je poçinuo sedmi dan od svih djela svojih.” 5 I opet govori na ovom mjestu: “Ne, neøe uøi u poçinak moj.∏” 6 Dakle ostaje çinjenica da neki moraju uøi, a oni kojima se najprije propovijedala Radosna vijest nisu uæli zbog neposluha. 7 Opet Bog odredi jedan dan, danas, reçe u Davidu, nakon toliko vremena, kako je prije reçeno: “Danas, ako çujete glas njegov, ne otvrdnite srca svoja!” 8 Uistinu, da ih je Joæua uveo u poçinak, ne bi poslije toga Bog govorio o drugom danu. 9 Stoga, preostaje poçinak narodu Boœjemu. 10 Jer onaj tko je uæao u poçinak njegov, sam je poçinuo od djela svojih, kao i Bog od svojih. 11 Œurimo se dakle uøi u onaj poçinak, da tko ne pogine pruœajuøi isti primjer neposluha. 12 Uistinu, Boœja je rijeç œiva i djelotvorna. Ona je oætrija od svakog dvosjeklog maça i prodire do rastavljanja duæe i duha, zglobova i moœdine, i moœe prosuditi nakane i misli srca. 13 Nema stvorenja nepoznatih pred njegovim pogledom, nego sve je golo i otkriveno oçima onoga komu moramo dati raçun. 14 Tako imamo uzviæena visokog sveøenika, Isusa, Sina Boœjega, koji je proæao kroz nebesa, drœimo se çvrsto vjere koju ispovijedamo. 15 Nemamo, naime, visokog sveøenika koji ne moœe suosjeøati s naæim slabostima, nego jednoga koji je u svemu bio kuæan kao i mi, ali bez grijeha. 16 Dakle: pristupajmo s pouzdanjem k prijestolju milosti da primimo milosråe i naåemo milost za pravodobnu pomoø!

For every priest taken from among men is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins. 2 He can have compassion on those who are ignorant and going astray, since he himself is also beset by weakness. 3 Because of this he is required as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins. 4 And no man takes this honor to himself, but he who is called by God, just as Aaron was. 5 So also Christ did not glorify himself to become High Priest, but it was he who said to him: “You are my Son, today I have begotten you.” 6 As he also says in another place: “You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek”;

Ulaz u vjeçni poçinak

Therefore, since a promise remains of en tering his rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it. 2 For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it. 3 For we who have believed do enter that rest, as he has said: “So I swore in my wrath, they shall not enter my rest,” although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. 4 For he has spoken in a certain place of the seventh day in this way: “And God rested on the seventh day from all his works”; 5 and again in this place: “They shall not enter my rest.” 6 Since therefore it remains that some must enter it, and those to whom it was first preached did not enter because of disobedience, 7 again he designates a certain day, saying in David, “Today,” after such a long time, as it has been said: “Today, if you will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.” 8 For if Joshua had given them rest, then he would not afterward have spoken of another day. 9 There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. 10 For he who has entered his rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from his. 11 Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall after the same example of disobedience. 12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 And there is no creature hidden from his sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of him to whom we must give account. 14 Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15 For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Krist veliki sveøenik zauvijek

Jer svaki visoki sveøenik, uzet izmeåu ljudi, postavlja se na korist ljudima u njihovu odnosu s Bogom, da prinosi i darove i œrtve za grijehe. 2 Kao onaj koji moœe biti blag prema onima koji iz neznanja grijeæe, buduøi da i sam nosi na sebi slabost. 3 I zbog te iste slabosti mora prinositi œrtve za grijehe i za narod i za samog sebe. 4 I nitko sam sebi ne prisvaja ove çasti, nego onaj koga poziva Bog baæ kao Arona. 5 Tako ni Krist nije sam sebi dodijelio visokosveøeniçku çast, nego onaj koji mu upravi rijeçi: “Ti si Sin moj, ja sam te danas rodio,” 6 kao æto i na drugom mjestu govori: “Ti si sve-

Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, 2 of the doctrine of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. 3 And this we will do if God permits. 4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5 and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6 if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put him to an open shame. 7 For the earth which drinks in the rain that often comes upon it, and bears herbs useful for those by whom it is cultivated, receives blessing from God; 8 but if it bears thorns and briars, it is rejected and near to being cursed, whose end is to be burned. 9 But, beloved, we are confident of better things concerning you, yes, things that accompany salvation, though we speak in this manner. 10 For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward his name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11 And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end, 12 that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises. 13 For when God made a promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no one greater, he swore by himself, 14 saying, “Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.” 15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. 16 For men indeed swear by the greater, and an oath for confirmation is for them an end of all dispute. 17 Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath, 18 that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope

Stoga, pustimo na stranu poçetni nanauk o Kristu i idimo dalje za onim usavræenim, ne postavljajuøi ponovno temelja odvraøanjem od mrtvih djela, vjerom u Boga, 2 naukom krætenja, polaganjem ruku, o uskrsnuøu mrtvih i o vjeçnom sudu. 3 I to øemo uçiniti uz Boœje dopuætenje. 4 Jer zbilja nemoguøe je za one koji su jedanput prosvijetljeni i koji su okusili nebeski dar, koji su postali dionici Duha Svetoga 5 i koji su okusili dobru rijeç Boœju i snagu buduøega svijeta, 6 ako otpadnu, opet ih treba obnoviti da se pokaju, njih koji za svoj vlastiti raçun razapinju Sina Boœjega i javno ga sramote. 7 Jer zemlja koja pije kiæu æto çesto na nju pada i raåa korisno povrøe za hranu onima koji je obraåuju, prima od Boga blagoslov; 8 ali ako donosi trnje i draç, odbacuje se i blizu je prokletstvu, çiji je svræetak biti paljenje u vatri. 9 Ali, Ljubljeni, mi se s pouzdanjem nadamo boljemu æto se tiçe vas, ono æto pripada spasenju, iako govorimo na ovaj naçin. 10 Uistinu, Bog nije nepravedan da zaboravi ono æto ste uçinili, ljubav koju ste iskazali prema njegovu imenu, sluœeøi u proælosti i sadaænjosti svetima. 11 Ali je naæa vruøa œelja da svaki od vas pokaœe istu revnost da utvrdi i usavræi svoju nadu do kraja, 12 da ne budete mlitavi, veø sljedbenici onih koji s vjerom i strpljivoæøu baætini obeøanja. 13 Jer dok je Bog Abrahamu davao obeøanje, buduøi da se nije mogao zakleti nikim veøim, zakle se samim sobom 14 Govoreøi: “Uistinu, blagoslovom blagoslovit øu te, i mnoœenjem umnoœit øu te.” 15 I tako Abraham strpljivo çekajuøi postigao obeøanje. 16 Ljudi se, naime, zaklinju s veøim i svaka im se prepirka zavræava zakletvom za potvrdu. 17 Zato i Bog, hoteøi sigurnije dokazati baætinicima obeøanja nepromjenljivost svoje odluke, potvrdi je sa zakletvom, 18 da po dvjema nepromjenljivim stvarima, u kojima je Bogu nemoguøe lagati, mogli imati

For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him, 2 to whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all, first being translated “king of righteousness,” and then also king of Salem, meaning “King of peace,” 3 without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God, remains a priest continually. 4 Now consider how great this man was, to whom even the patriarch Abraham gave a tenth of the spoils. 5 And indeed those who are of the sons of Levi, who receive the priesthood, have a commandment to receive tithes from the people according to the law, that is, from their brethren, though they have come from the loins of Abraham; 6 but he whose genealogy is not derived from them received tithes from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises. 7 Now beyond all contradiction the lesser is blessed by the better. 8 Here mortal men receive tithes, but there he receives them, of whom it is witnessed that he lives. 9 Even Levi, who receives tithes, paid tithes through Abraham, so to speak, 10 for he was still in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him. 11 Therefore, if perfection were through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need was there that another priest should rise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not be called according to the order of Aaron? 12 For the priesthood being changed, of necessity there is also a change of the law. 13 For he of whom these things are spoken belongs to another tribe, from which no man has officiated at the altar. 14 For it is evident that our Lord arose from Judah, of which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood. 15 And it is yet far more evident if, in the likeness of Melchizedek, there arises another priest 16 who has come, not according to the law of a fleshly commandment, but according to the power of an endless life. 17 For he testifies: “You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.” 18 For on the one hand there is annulling of the former commandment because of its weakness and unprofitableness, 19 for the law made nothing perfect; on the other hand, there is the bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God. 20 And inasmuch as he was not made priest without an oath 21 (for they have become priests without an oath, but he with an oath by him who said to him: “The Lord has sworn and will not relent, ‘You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek’ ”), 22 by so much more Jesus has become a surety of a

Prednost Kristova sveøenstva

Jer taj Melkizedek, kralj salemski, sveøenik Sveviænjega Boga, iziæao je u susret Abrahamu kad se vraøao s poraza kraljeva, i blagoslovi ga. 2 Njemu je Abraham dao desetinu od svega. On, çije ime znaçi najprije “Kralj pravde,” zatim Kralj Salema, to jest “Kralj mira,” 3 bez oca, bez majke, bez rodoslovlja, koji nema ni poçetka ni svræetka œivota, nego usporeåen sa Sinom Boœjim, ostaje vjeçno sveøenik. 4 Sada pogledajte kako je velik bio taj kojemu çak i patrijarh Abraham dao desetinu od plijena. 5 Istina, i potomci Levijevih sinova, oni koji primaju sveøeniçku sluœbu, imaju zapovijed od Zakona da uzimaju desetinu od naroda, to jest od svoje braøe, premda su i ona iziæla iz Abrahamova bedra. 6 Ali onaj koji ne vuçe podrijetlo od njih uzme desetinu od Abrahama i blagoslovi nosioca obeøanja. 7 A bez ikakve sumnje, veøi blagoslivlja manjega. 8 Nadalje, ovdje primaju desetinu smrtni ljudi, a tamo jedan za kojega se svjedoçi da trajno œivi. 9 I da tako kaœem, Levi primatelj desetine dao je desetinu po Abrahamu, 10 jer je joæ bio u bedru svojega oca kad je Melkizedek iziæao ovomu u susret. 11 Stoga, da je savræenstvo bilo ostvareno po levitskom sveøenstvu, (jer je pod njim izabrani narod primio Zakon), kakva bi joæ bila potreba da ustane drugi sveøenik, po redu Melkizedekovu, a da se ne zove po redu Aronovu. 12 Ako se, naime, mijenja sveøenstvo, potrebno je da se mijenja i Zakon. 13 Uistinu onaj za koga se ovo govori pripada drugom plemenu, od kojega nitko nije imao posla sa œrtvenikom. 14 Jer je poznato, da je naæ Gospodin potekao od Jude, od plemena za koje Mojsije, nije rekao niæta o sveøenstvu. 15 I to je mnogo viæe poznato ako ustaje sveøenik koji je sliçan Melkizedeku ustaje drugi sveøenik, 16 koji nije postao sveøenikom po Zakonu rodbinskog nasljedstva, veø po snazi vjeçnog œivota. 17 Zbilja, svjedoçanstvo o njemu glasi: “Ti si sveøenik zauvijek, po redu Melkizedekovu.” 18 Jer time se, na jednoj strani, poniætava prijaænja zapovijed zbog njezine slabosti i beskorisnosti. 19 Buduøi da Zakon niæta nije priveo k savræenstvu, uvodi se bolja nada koja nas pribliœuje Bogu. 20 Doista, On nije uçinjen sveøenikom bez zakletve 21 (jer oni su bez zakletve postali sveøenicima, a On sa zakletvom onoga koji mu je rekao: “Zakleo se Gospodin i neøe opovrøi: ‘ti si sveøenik

Now this is the main point of the things we are saying: We have such a High Priest, who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, 2 a Minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle which the Lord erected, and not man. 3 For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. Therefore it is necessary that this One also have something to offer. 4 For if he were on earth, he would not be a priest, since there are priests who offer the gifts according to the law; 5 who serve the copy and shadow of the heavenly things, as Moses was divinely instructed when he was about to make the tabernacle. For he said, “See that you make all things according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.” 6 But now he has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as he is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises. 7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second. 8 Because finding fault with them, he says: “Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord, “when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah– 9 “not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they did not continue in my covenant, and I disregarded them,” says the Lord. 10 “For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel: After those days,” says the Lord, “I will put my laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 11 “None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for all shall know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them. 12 “For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.” 13 In that he says, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

9

Then indeed, even the first covenant had ordinances of divine service and the earthly sanctuary.

Novi Sveøenik i Novi Zavjet

Glavno od toga æto govorimo jest ovo: da imamo takvog Velikog Sveøenika koji sjedi s desne strane prijestolja Veliçanstva na nebesima, 2 koji je sluœbenik Svetiæta i pravog Æatora, onoga kojega podiœe Gospodin, a ne çovjek. 3 Buduøi da se svaki visoki sveøenik postavlja da prinosi i darove i œrtve, odatle potreba da i ovaj ima neæto æto øe prinijeti. 4 Dakako, da je On na zemlji, ne bi bio ni sveøenik, jer tu postoje oni koji prinose darove po Zakonu. 5 Oni sluœe po naliçju i sjeni nebeskih stvarnosti, kako je Bog pouçio Mojsija kad se ovaj spremao napraviti æator: On je rekao, pazi da naçiniæ sve prema uzorku koji ti je pokazan na gori! 6 Ali sada, naæ visoki sveøenik dobio je toliko uzviæeniju sluœbu koliko je posrednik boljega Saveza, boljega jer je uzakonjen na boljim obeøanjima. 7 Jer da je zbilja onaj prvi savez bio besprijekoran, ne bi se traœilo drugi ni za çasak. 8 Jer vidjevæi u njemu nedostatak On reçe: “Evo dolazi vrijeme,” govori Gospodin: “u koje øu s domom Izraelovim i s domom Judinim uçiniti Novi savez, 9 ne po savezu koji sam uçinio s oçevima njihovim, onog dana kad sam ih uzeo za ruku da ih izvedem iz zemlje egipatske. Buduøi da oni nisu ostali vjerni Savezu mojemu, i ja sam njih, govori Gospodin, zanemario. 10 Ovo je Savez koji øu uçiniti s domom Izraelovim nakon tih dana,” govori Gospodin: “Stavit øu svoje Zakone u pamet njihovu, upisati ih u srca njihova, i bit øu im Bog, a oni øe biti moj narod. 11 Ne, nitko viæe neøe pouçavati svojega sudruga i nitko svojega brata, govoreøi mu: ‘Poznaj Gospodina,’ jer øe me upoznati svi, od najmanjega do najveøega meåu njima. 12 Jer øu biti milostiv njihovim nepravdama, njihovih grijeha i bezakonja viæe se neøu sjeøati!” 13 A kad reçe: “novi Savez,” time je prvi proglasio zastarjelim. A æto stari i dotrajava, blizu je nestanku.

Kristova beskrajno savræena œrtva

Dakako, i prvi je Savez imao odredbe

-1295Hebrews Hebrejima koje se odnose na bogoætovlje i zemaljsko 2 For a tabernacle was prepared: the first part, in which was the lampstand, the table, and the svetiæte. 2 Jer bio je naçinjen Æator. U njegovu prvom dishowbread, which is called the sanctuary; 3 and behind the second veil, the part of the taber- jelu, zvanom Svetinja, nalazio se svijeønjak i stol s prinesenim kruhovima. nacle which is called the Holiest of All, 4 which had the golden altar of incense and the ark of 3 A iza druge zavjese bio je drugi dio Æatora, the covenant overlaid on all sides with gold, in which zvan Svetinja nad svetinjama, were the golden pot that had the manna, Aaron’s rod 4 u kojem se nalazio zlatni kadioni œrtvenik i ækrinja Saveza optoçena zlatom sa svih strana, that budded, and the tablets of the covenant; 5 and above it were the cherubim of glory overshad- u kojoj je bila zlatna posuda s manom i Aronov owing the mercy seat.

O tomu nije sada ças podthe priests always went into the first part of the taber- robno govoriti. 6 Pri takvom ureåaju tih stvari sveøenici u nacle, performing the services. 7 But into the second part the high priest went alone svako vrijeme ulaze u prvi dio Æatora da obave once a year, not without blood, which he offered for bogosluœje, himself and for the people’s sins committed in igno- 7 a u drugi dio jedino visoki sveøenik samo jedanput u godini, ne bez krvi, koju prinosi za rance; 8 the Holy Spirit indicating this, that the way into the svoje vlastite grijehe i za grijehe naroda poçinHoliest of All was not yet made manifest while the jene u neznanju. 8 Time Duh Sveti pokazuje da joæ nije otvoren first tabernacle was still standing. 9 It was symbolic for the present time in which both put u Svetinju nad svetinjama, dok joæ postoji gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot make prvi dio Æatora. him who performed the service perfect in regard to 9 To je slikovit dokaz za sadaænje vrijeme, prema kojem se prinose darovi i œrtve koje ne the conscience– 10 concerned only with foods and drinks, various mogu uçiniti savræenim, s obzirom na savjest, washings, and fleshly ordinances imposed until the onoga koji vræi bogosluœje; time of reformation. 10 radi se samo o zemaljskim odredbama, o je11 But Christ came as High Priest of the good things lima, piøu i raznim pranjima, koje su postavto come, with the greater and more perfect taber- ljene do çasa uvoåenja pravog reda. nacle not made with hands, that is, not of this crea- 11 Ali Krist, poæto se pojavio kao visoki svetion. øenik dobara koja dolaze, kroz bolji i savræeniji 12 Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with Æator, koji nije napravljen rukom, to jest koji nije his own blood he entered the Most Holy Place once od ovoga stvaranja. for all, having obtained eternal redemption. 12 Ne krvlju jaraca i junaca nego svojom vlasti13 For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes tom krvlju uæao je jedanput zauvijek u Svetinju of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies for the nad svetinjama, i tako nam pribavio vjeçni purifying of the flesh, otkup. 14 how much more shall the blood of Christ, who 13 Jer ako krv jaraca i bikova i pepeo od junice, through the eternal Spirit offered himself without çime se ækrope okaljani, posveøuju da se dospot to God, purge your conscience from dead works bije tjelesna çistoøa, to serve the living God? 14 koliko øe viæe krv Krista, koji je po vjeçnom 15 And for this reason he is the Mediator of the new Duhu prineo sam sebe Bogu kao œrtvu bez covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of mane, oçistiti naæu savjest od mrtvih djela da the transgressions under the first covenant, that sluœimo œivomu Bogu? those who are called may receive the promise of the 15 Zato je On posrednik novoga Saveza: da, eternal inheritance. poæto je nastupila smrt za otkupljenje prekræaja 16 For where there is a testament, there must also of uçinjenih u vrijeme prvoga Saveza, oni koji su necessity be the death of the testator. pozvani da prime obeøanje vjeçne baætine. 17 For a testament is in force after men are dead, 16 Jer gdje je oporuka, treba dokazati smrt since it has no power at all while the testator lives. onoga koji je napravio oporuku. 18 Therefore not even the first covenant was dedi- 17 Jer oporuka je na snagi poslije çovjekove cated without blood. smrti, drukçije nema nikakve snage dok œivi 19 For when Moses had spoken every precept to all onaj koji je napravi. the people according to the law, he took the blood of 18 Zato ni prvi Savez nije ustanovljen bez krvi. calves and goats, with water, scarlet wool, and hys- 19 Jer kad je Mojsije priopøio svemu narodu sop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the svaku zapovijed, kako je pisalo u Zakonu, uzeo people, krvi od junaca i jaraca s vodom, crvenom vu20 saying, “This is the blood of the covenant which nom i hisopom te poækropio i samu knjigu i sav God has commanded you.” narod, 21 Then likewise he sprinkled with blood both the 20 govoreøi: “Ovo je krv Saveza koji vam je Bog tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry. zapovjedio.” 22 And according to the law almost all things are 21 Zatim poækropi krvlju Æator i sve predmete purged with blood, and without shedding of blood odreåene za sluœbu Boœju. there is no remission. 22 I po Zakonu se, gotovo bih rekao, sve çisti 23 Therefore it was necessary that the copies of the krvlju, a bez prolijevanja krvi nema oproætenja. things in the heavens should be purified with these, 23 Stoga, potrebno je da se slike onoga æto je but the heavenly things themselves with better sac- na nebesima ovako çisti, a same nebeske rifices than these. stvarnosti joæ boljim œrtvama od ovih. 24 For Christ has not entered the holy places made 24 Krist, naime, nije uæao u Svetinju nad svetwith hands, which are copies of the true, but into injama napravljenu rukom, koja je samo slika

For the law, having a shadow of the good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with these same sacrifices, which they offer continually year by year, make those who approach perfect. 2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? For the worshipers, once purged, would have had no more consciousness of sins. 3 But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year. 4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins. 5 Therefore, when he came into the world, he said: “Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you have prepared for me. 6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you had no pleasure. 7 Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come–in the volume of the book it is written of me–to do your will, O God.’ ” 8 Previously saying, “Sacrifice and offering, burnt offerings, and offerings for sin you did not desire, nor had pleasure in them” (which are offered according to the law), 9 then he said, “Behold, I have come to do your will, O God.” He takes away the first that he may establish the second. 10 By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 11 And every priest stands ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 12 But this Man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God, 13 from that time waiting till his enemies are made his footstool. 14 For by one offering he has perfected forever those who are being sanctified. 15 And the Holy Spirit also witnesses to us; for after he had said before, 16 “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them,” 17 then he adds, “Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.” 18 Now where there is remission of these, there is no longer an offering for sin. 19 Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, 20 by a new and living way which he consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, his flesh, 21 and having a High Priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope with-

Opravdan vjerom u Kristovu œrtvu

Jer Zakon posjeduje samo sjenu buduøih dobara, a ne samu bit stvarnosti, on ne moœe nikada istim œrtvama, æto se neprestano iz godine u godinu prinose, uçiniti savræenim one koji pristupaju. 2 Jer ne bi se inaçe prestale prinositi, kad Bogoætovatelji, jedanput zauvijek oçiæøeni, ne bi viæe bili svjesni nikakva grijeha? 3 A onima se œrtvama svake godine obnavlja sjeøanje na grijehe. 4 Nemoøna je, naime, krv bikova i jaraca da uzme grijehe. 5 Stoga, kad je doæao na svijet, On reçe: Ni œrtve ni prinosa nisi œelio, ali si mi pripremio tijelo. 6 Ni paljenice ni pomirnice nisu ti bile ugodne. 7 Tada sam rekao: ‘Evo, dolazim, o meni je, naime, u svitku, to jest knjizi, napisano da çinim, Boœe, volju tvoju.’ ” 8 Kada gore govori: “Ni œrtava, ni prinosa, ni paljenica, ni pomirnica nisi htio, niti su ti bile ugodne” (iako su takve koje se prinose po Zakonu), 9 zatim je On rekao: “Evo dolazim da çinim volju tvoju O Boœe.” On ukida prvo da uspostavi drugo. 10 Snagom te volje posveøeni smo prinosom tijela Isusa Krista jedanput zauvijek. 11 Svaki sveøenik iz dana u dan pristupa, sluœi i ponavlja iste œrtve, koje nikada ne mogu uzeti grijehe. 12 On, naprotiv, poæto je prineo samo jednu œrtvu za grijehe, zauvijek sjede Bogu s desne strane. 13 Otada On çeka dok se njegovi neprijatelji postave podnoœjem njegovim. 14 On je samo jednim prinosom uçinio zauvijek usavræio one koje posveøuje. 15 A to nam svjedoçi i Duh Sveti. Poæto je naime izjavio: 16 Ovo je Savez koji øu sklopiti s njima poslije onoga vremena, govori Gospodin: Stavit øu Zakone svoje u srca njihova i upisat øu ih u pamet njihovu, 17 On je nadodao: “A grijeha se njihovih i bezakonja nipoæto neøu viæe sjeøati.” 18 A gdje je to oproæteno, tamo nema viæe prinosa za grijeh. 19 Stoga, braøo, buduøi da mi snagom krvi Isusove otvoreno moœemo uøi u Svetinju nad svetinjama, 20 taj novi i œivotonosan put on nam je otvorio kroz zastor, to jest, kroz svoje tijelo, 21 i buduøi da imamo visokog sveøenika koji je postavljen nad kuøom Boœjom, 22 pristupajmo k njemu iskrena srca i sa sig-

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good testimony. 3 By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible. 4 By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and through it he being dead still speaks. 5 By faith Enoch was translated so that he did not see death, “and was not found because God had translated him”; for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him, for he who comes to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him. 7 By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.

Primjeri vjere

Vjera je tvrdo çekanje onoga çemu se nadamo, dokaz onoga æto ne vidimo. 2 Jer zbog nje su stari postigli pohvalno svjedoçanstvo. 3 Vjerom spoznajemo da je svijet stvoren Boœjom rijeçju, tako da ono æto je vidljivo nije stvoreno od onoga æto je vidljivo. 4 Vjerom Abel prinese Bogu bolju œrtvu nego Kain. Po njoj primi svjedoçanstvo da je pravedan kad Bog zbog njegovih darova dade svjedoçanstvo. Po vjeri on, premda mrtav, joæ govori. 5 Vjerom je Henok prenesen tako da nije vidio smrti: “i viæe se ne naåe, jer ga je Bog prenio.” I prije nego æto je bio prenesen, primio je svjedoçanstvo da je ugodio Bogu. 6 A bez vjere nemoguøe mu je ugoditi, jer onaj koji œeli pristupiti Bogu mora vjerovati da postoji Bog i da nagraåuje one koji ga traœe. 7 Vjerom Noa, obavijeæten od Boga o joæ neviåenim stvarima, ponesen poboœnim poætovanjem, sagradio je laåu da spasi svoju obitelj.

Therefore we also, since we are sur rounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 For consider him who endured such hostility from sinners against himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls. 4 You have not yet resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin. 5 And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons: “My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord, nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by him; 6 For whom the Lord loves he chastens, and scourges every son whom he receives.” 7 If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten? 8 But if you are without chastening, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons. 9 Furthermore, we have had human fathers who corrected us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live? 10 For they indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed best to them, but he for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness. 11 Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but grievous; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it. 12 Therefore strengthen the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees, 13 and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed. 14 Pursue peace with all men, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: 15 looking diligently lest anyone fall short of the

Ponoviti svoj duhovni œivot

Stoga i mi, otkako smo okruœeni toliko velikim oblakom svjedoka, hajde odbacimo od sebe svaki teret i grijeh koji nas tako lako zavodi, i hajde da ustrajno trçimo trku koja je pred nama. 2 Uprimo pogled u Isusa zaçetnika i zavræitelja vjere, koji na mjesto odreåene mu radosti podnese kriœ ne mareøi za sramotu te otada sjedi s desne strane Boœjega prijestolja. 3 Promotrite pomno onoga koji je od grjeænika podnio takvo protivljenje protiv samoga sebe, da ne sustanete i ne klonete duhom! 4 Joæ se, naime, u borbi protiv grijeha niste oduprli do krvi. 5 Zaboravili ste opomenu, premda je takva koja vam se upuøuje kao sinovima: “Sine moj, ne preziri karanja Gospodinova, i nemoj klonuti kad te On ukori, 6 jer Gospodin kara onoga koga ljubi i æiba svakoga koga usvaja za svojega sina.” 7 Ustrajte u strogom odgoju! Bog postupa s vama kao sa sinovima. Jer kakav je to zbilja sin kojega otac ne kara? 8 Ako ste vi izuzeti od karanja koje su svi iskusili, onda ste nezakonita djeca, a ne pravi sinovi. 9 Osim toga, imali smo naæe zemaljske oçeve koji su nas karali, i mi smo ih poætivali. Zar se neøemo kudikamo radije podloœiti Ocu duhova i œivjeti? 10 Oni su nas, naime, karali za kratko vrijeme, kako im se çinilo dobro, a on za naæe dobro, da budemo dionicima njegove svetosti. 11 Doduæe, svako karanje za sada ne priçinja se neçim æto donosi radost, nego œalost. Ali kasnije onima koji su s njime uzgajani donosi plod pun mira i pravednosti. 12 Zato uspravite mlitave ruke i klecava koljena; 13 i poravnajte staze svojim nogama, da se ud koji je hrom ne iæçaæi, nego radije da ozdravi. 14 U savezu sa svima teœite za spasenjem i za posveøenjem bez kojega nitko neøe vidjeti Gospodina. 15 Budno pazite da tko ne ostane bez milosti

Let brotherly love continue. 2 Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some have unwittingly entertained angels. 3 Remember the prisoners as if chained with them, and those who are mistreated, since you yourselves are in the body also. 4 Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge. 5 Let your conduct be without covetousness, and be content with such things as you have. For he himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” 6 So we may boldly say: “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?” 7 Remember those who rule over you, who have spoken the word of God to you, whose faith follow, considering the outcome of their conduct. 8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. 9 Do not be carried about with various and strange doctrines. For it is good that the heart be established by grace, not with foods which have not profited those who have been occupied with them. 10 We have an altar from which those who serve the tabernacle have no right to eat.

Çestitost i duhovni pravac

Bratska ljubav neka i dalje ostane. 2 Gostoljubivosti strancima ne zaboravljajte, jer su neki tako, ne znajuøi, pogostili anåele. 3 Sjeøajte se suœanja, kao da ste zajedno s njima baçeni u okove; zlostavljanih, kao da i sami œivite u tijelu. 4 Œenidba neka bude u çasti meåu svima, a braçna postelja çista, jer øe bludnicima i preljubnicima suditi Bog. 5 Neka vaæe vladanje bude bez pohlepe za novcem, budite zadovoljni onim æto imate, jer je On sam rekao: “Neøu te nikad ostaviti niti te napustiti!” 6 Tako s pouzdanjem moœemo reøi: “Gospodin je pomoønik moj; neøu se bojati.

Jakovljeva POSLANICA

THE EPISLE OF JAMES

James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad: Greetings. 2 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. 4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. 6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. 9 Let the lowly brother glory in his exaltation, 10 but the rich in his humiliation, because as a flower of the field he will pass away. 11 For no sooner has the sun risen with a burning heat than it withers the grass; its flower falls, and its beautiful appearance perishes. So the rich man also

Vjera mora biti djelotvorna i ljubavlju proniknuta

Jakov, sluga Boga i Gospodina Isusa Krista, dvanaestim plemenima, rasijanim meåu neznaboæcima, pozdrav. 2 Smatrajte potpunom radoæøu, braøo moja, kad upadnete u razne kuænje, 3 znajuøi da kuænja vaæe vjere stvara strplivost. 4 A strpljivost neka ima savræeno djelo, da vi budete savræeni; bez ikakva nedostatka. 5 Ako komu od vas nedostaje mudrosti, neka traœi od Boga, koji svima daje obilno i bez prigovora, i dat øe mu je. 6 Ali neka traœi s vjerom, bez sumnjanja, jer je onaj koji sumnja sliçan morskom valovlju koje vjetar goni sad ovamo sad onamo. 7 Takav çovjek neka ne misli da øe æto primiti od Gospodina, 8 jer je çovjek razdijeljenom duæom nestalan u svim putovima svojim. 9 Neka se brat niskog poloœaja hvali svojim uzviæenjem, 10 a bogati svojim poniœenjem, jer øe proøi kao cvijet od trave. 11 Jer çim iziåe sunce s goruøom vruøinom, uvene travu, te otpadne njezin cvijet i propadne

My brethren, do not hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with partiality. 2 For if there should come into your assembly a man with gold rings, in fine apparel, and there should also come in a poor man in filthy clothes, 3 and you pay attention to the one wearing the fine clothes and say to him, “You sit here in a good place,” and say to the poor man, “You stand there,” or, “Sit here at my footstool,” 4 have you not shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts? 5 Listen, my beloved brethren: Has God not chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which he promised to those who love him? 6 But you have dishonored the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you and drag you into the courts? 7 Do they not blaspheme that noble name by which you are called? 8 If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neig-hbor as yourself,” you do well; 9 but if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors. 10 For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all.

Vjera i ljubav bliœnjega. Mrtva vjera

Braøo moja, nemojte imati vjeru u naæega Slavnoga Gospodina Isusa Krista s pristranoæøu. 2 Jer ako bi doæao na vaæ sastanak çovjek sa zlatnim prstenom i sjajnim odijelom, a ako bi doæao i siromah u bijednoj haljini, 3 i da pogledate onoga u sjajnom odijelu te mu reknete: “Ti sjedi ovdje, na poçasno mjesto!” A siromahu reknete: “Ti stoj tamo!” ili “Sjedi pokraj mojega podnoœja!” 4 Ne pravite li tako razliku meåu sobom i ne postajete li kao suci koji zlo misle i sude? 5 Çujte, moja ljubljena braøo: nije li Bog izabrao siromahe ovoga svijeta, da budu bogati u vjeri i baætinici Kraljevstva, obeøanoga onima koji ga ljube? 6 A vi ste prezreli siromaha! Zar vas upravo bogataæi ne tlaçe i ne vuku na sudove? 7 Zar upravo oni ne psuju lijepo ime koje nosite? 8 Ako izvræite kraljevski Zakon u skladu s Pismom: “Ljubi bliœnjega svojega kao samoga sebe!” Dobro postupate. 9 Ali ako pokazujete pristranost prema osobama, çinite grijeh, i Zakon vas osuåuje kao prijestupnike.

-1303James Jakovljeva 11 For he who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also 10 Jer svaki tko drœi Zakon, a spotakne se said, “Do not murder.” Now if you do not commit adul- samo u jednom, postaje krivac za sve. tery, but you do murder, you have become a trans- 11 Jer onaj koji je reçe: “Ne çini preljuba!” Reçe i: “Ne ubij!” Ako ne uçiniæ preljuba a ubijeæ, gressor of the law. 12 So speak and so do as those who will be judged postajeæ prijestupnik Zakona. 12 Govorite i radite kao ljudi koji imaju biti suåeby the law of liberty. 13 For judgment is without mercy to the one who has ni po Zakonu slobode! 13 Jer onoga koji ne bude iskazivao milosråa shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment. 14 What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says snaøi øe sud bez milosråa; a milosråe ima veøu he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save slavu od suda. 14 Æto koristi, braøo moja, ako tko rekne da ima him? 15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily vjeru, a djela nema? Zar ga vjera moœe spasiti? 15 Ako su neki brat ili neka sestra goli i bez food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be svakidaænje hrane, warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the 16 pa im netko od vas rekne: “Idite u miru, ugrithings which are needed for the body, what does it jte se i nasitite se!” a ne date im ono æto im je potrebno za tijelo, æto vam to koristi? profit? 17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, 17 Tako je i sa samom vjerom: ako nema djela, mrtva je. is dead. 18 But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have 18 A netko øe reøi: “Ti imaæ vjeru, a ja imam works.” Show me your faith without your works, and djela.” Dokaœi mi svoju vjeru odvojeno od djela, a ja øu tebi dokazati svoju vjeru djelima! I will show you my faith by my works. 19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. 19 Ti vjerujeæ da ima samo jedan Bog. Dobro çiniæ! I zli duhovi to vjeruju i dræøu! Even the demons believe–and tremble! 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith 20 Œeliæ vidjeti, luåaçe, da je vjera bez djela beskorisna? without works is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works 21 Zar nije bio naæ otac Abraham djelima pokazan opravdanim kad je prineo na œrtvenik svowhen he offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22 Do you see that faith was working together with jega sina Izaka? 22 Vidiæ da je vjera suraåivala s njegovim djehis works, and by works faith was made perfect? 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abra- lima i djelima se vjera usavræila. ham believed God, and it was accounted to him for 23 Tako se ispunilo Pismo koje govori: “Vjerrighteousness.” And he was called the friend of God. ovao je Abraham Bogu, i to mu se uraçunalo u 24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and pravednost, te je postao Boœji prijatelj. 24 Vidite da çovjek bude opravdan djelima, a not by faith only. 25 Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified ne samo vjerom. by works when she received the messengers and 25 Nije li se isto tako djelima opravdala i Rahaba, bludnica, kad je primila glasnike te ih izsent them out another way? 26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith vela drugim putom? 26 Kao æto je tijelo mrtvo bez duæe, tako je i without works is dead also. vjera mrtva bez djela.

My brethren, let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment. 2 For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body. 3 Indeed, we put bits in horses’ mouths that they may obey us, and we turn their whole body. 4 Look also at ships: although they are so large and are driven by fierce winds, they are turned by a very small rudder wherever the pilot desires. 5 Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things. See how great a forest a little fire kindles! 6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell. 7 For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and creature of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by mankind. 8 But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. 9 With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God. 10 Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so.

Obuzdavanje jezika

Braøo moja, ne budite mnogi uçitelji, znajuøi da øemo za to biti stroœe suåeni. 2 Jer mi u mnogom pogrijeæimo. Ako tko u govoru ne pogrijeæi, on je savræen çovjek, sposoban zauzdati i cijelo tijelo. 3 Ako stavimo konjima uzde u usta da nam se pokoravaju, moœemo upravljati cijelim njihovim tijelom. 4 Pogledajte i laåe! Njima, iako su velike i premda ih gone silni vjetrovi, upravlja vrlo malo kormilo kamo god kormilarova volja hoøe. 5 Tako je i jezik malen ud, ali se moœe ponositi velikim stvarima. Pazite, kakve li male vatre, a koliku æumu zapali! 6 A jezik je vatra koja postaje sav opaki svijet, postavljen meåu naæim udovima, te oneçiæøuje svu naæu osobu i zapaljen od pakla, zapaljuje sav naæ œivot. 7 Uistinu, svakovrsne zvijeri i ptice, gmazovi i morske œivotinje mogu se ukrotiti, i ukroøene su od ljudskog roda. 8 Ali jezika nitko ne moœe ukrotiti. On je nemirno zlo, puno je smrtonosnoga otrova. 9 Njim blagoslivljamo Gospodina i Oca, i njim proklinjemo ljude koji su stvoreni na sliku Boœju. 10 Iz istih usta izlazi blagoslov i prokletstvo. To ne smije, braøo moja, tako biti. 11 Zar izvor na isti otvor toçi slatku i gorku

Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members? 2 You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask. 3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures. 4 Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. 5 Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, “The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously”? 6 But he gives more grace. Therefore he says: “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” 7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9 Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he will lift you up. 11 Do not speak evil of one another, brethren. He who speaks evil of a brother and judges his brother, speaks evil of the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge. 12 There is one Lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. Who are you to judge another? 13 Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit”; 14 whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. 15 Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.” 16 But now you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. 17 Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.

Plodovi pohlepe. Opasnost oholosti

Odakle dolaze borbe i odakle svaåe meåu vama? Nije li odavde: od vaæih poœuda æto se bore u vaæim udovima? 2 ¸elite, i nemate? Tada ubijate. Strastveno œudite, i ne moœete postiøi? Tada se borite i ratujete. Nemate jer ne molite. 3 Molite, ali ne dobivate, jer molite s grijeænom nakanom: da to potroæite u svojim poœudama. 4 Preljubniçke duæe, zar ne znate da je prijateljstvo prema svijetu neprijateljstvo prema Bogu? Dakle, tko god hoøe da bude prijatelj svijetu, postaje neprijatelj Bogu. 5 Mislite li da uzalud Pismo govori: “Ljubomorno çezne Duh æto ga je nastanio u nama”? 6 Time daje veøu milost. Zato govori: “Bog se protivi oholima, a poniznima daje milost.” 7 Zato se pokorite Bogu! Oduprite se åavlu, pa øe on pobjeøi od vas! 8 Pribliœite se k Bogu, pa øe se i on pribliœiti k vama! Grjeænici, operite ruke! Vi sa razdijeljenom duæom, oçistite srca! 9 Zatuœite i zaplaçite! Neka se vaæ smijeh pretvori u tugu, a radost u œalost! 10 Ponizite se pred Gospodinom, i on øe vas uzvisiti! 11 Braøo, ne ocrnjujte jedan drugoga! Tko ocrnjuje svojega brata ili sudi svojega brata, ocrnjuje Zakon i sudi Zakon. A ako sudiæ Zakon, nisi vræitelj Zakona, nego njegov sudac. 12 Samo je jedan zakonodavac i sudac: onaj koji moœe spasiti i uniætiti. A tko si ti koji sudiæ bliœnjega? 13 Pazite sad, vi koji govorite: “Danas ili sutra poøi øemo u ovaj ili onaj grad, tamo øemo provesti jednu godinu, trgovati i uçiniti uspjeh,” 14 vi takvi koji ne znate æto øe biti sutra! Pa æto je vaæ œivot? Vi ste dim koji se ças pokaœe i zatim nestane. 15 Mjesto da govorite: “Ako Gospodin hoøe, œivjeti øemo i çinit øemo ovo ili ono,” 16 vi se sada hvalite u svojoj nadutosti. Svako je takvo hvalisanje zlo. 17 Tko dakle moœe dobro çiniti, a ne çini, çini grijeh.

The elders who are among you I exhort, I who am a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that will be revealed: 2 Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers, not by constraint but willingly, not for dishonest gain but eagerly; 3 nor as being lords over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock; 4 and when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away. 5 Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” 6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time, 7 casting all your care upon him, for he cares for you. 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. 9 Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the

Da, svi se vi podloœite jedan drugomu i svi se odjenite u poniznost, jer “Bog se protivi oholima, a poniznima daje milost.” 6 Ponizite se dakle pod moønom rukom Boœjom, da vas On uzvisi u svoje vrijeme. 7 Svu svoju brigu bacite na njega, jer se On brine za vas. 8 Budite trijezni i revnujte: vaæ protivnik åavao, obilazi okolo kao riçuøi lav, traœeøi koga da proœdere.

Second Peter THE SECOND EPISTLE

Druga Petrova POSLANICA

Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who have obtained like precious faith with us by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, 3 as his divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by glory and virtue, 4 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 5 But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, 6 to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, 7 to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. 8 For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 For he who lacks these things is short-sighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. 10 Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your calling and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; 11 for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 12 Therefore I will not be negligent to remind you always of these things, though you know them, and are established in the present truth. 13 Yes, I think it is right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you, 14 knowing that shortly I must put off my tent, just as our Lord Jesus Christ showed me. 15 Moreover I will be careful to ensure that you always have a reminder of these things after my decease. 16 For we did not follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 17 For he received from God the Father honor and glory when such a voice came to him from the Excellent Glory: “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” 18 And we heard this voice which came from heaven

Æimun Petar, sluga i apostol Isusa Krista, onima koji su pravednoæøu naæega Boga, Spasitelja Isusa Krista, primili istu dragocjenu vjeru kao i mi. 2 Milost i mir vama u umnoœen po spoznaji Boga i Isusa naæega Gospodina! 3 Njegova Boœanska sila obdarila nas je svime æto je potrebno za œivot i poboœnost, spoznajom onoga koji nas je pozvao svojom slavom i dobrotom: 4 tim nas je obdario skupocjenim i najveøim obeøanim dobrima, da po njima, poæto umaknemo pokvarenostima zbog opake poœude u svijetu, postanete dionici Boœanske naravi. 5 Zbog toga uloœite sav napor da pokaœete svojom vjerom krepost, a krepoæøu znanje, 6 s znanjem uzdrœljivost, s uzdrœljivoæøu postojanost, s postojanoæøu poboœnost, 7 s poboœnoæøu bratsku ljubav, s bratskom ljubavi ljubav! 8 Jer ako imate ovo i time obilujete, neøete biti ni besposleni ni besplodni u spoznaji naæega Gospodina Isusa Krista. 9 Komu ove kreposti nedostaju, on je slijep, kratkovidan; zaboravio je da je oçiæøen od svojih proælih grijeha. 10 Zato, braøo, budite revniji da u vlastitu korist uçvrstite svoj poziv i izbor! Radeøi tako, neøete se nikada spotaknuti. 11 Tako øe vam se pruœiti sve æto je potrebno za ulazak u vjeçno kraljevstvo naæega Gospodina, Spasitelja Isusa Krista. 12 Zato øu vas uvijek podsjeøati na ovo, premda sve i sami znate i uçvræøeni ste u sadaænjoj istini. 13 Smatram da je pravo, dokle god sam u ovom æatoru, da vas budim potsjeøam, 14 znajuøi da øu brzo odloœiti svoj æator, kako mi je i naæ Gospodin Isus pokazao. 15 Ætoviæe ja øu se pobrinuti da se i poslije moje smrti u svakoj prilici moœete sjeøati ovoga. 16 Jer nismo vam navijestili moø i dolazak naæega Gospodina Isusa Krista drœeøi se lukavo izmiæljene bajke, nego jer smo bili oçevici njegova Veliçanstva. 17 On je, naime, primio çast i slavu od Boga Oca kad mu je od tako uzviæene Slave doæao glas: “Ovo je moj ljubljeni Sin, s njime sam vrlo zadovoljan.”

Veliçina Kristovih dobara i çvrstoøa vjere

But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. 2 And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. 3 By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber. 4 For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment; 5 and did not spare the ancient world, but saved Noah, one of eight people, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood on the world of the ungodly; 6 and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly; 7 and delivered righteous Lot, who was oppressed with the filthy conduct of the wicked 8 (for that righteous man, dwelling among them, tormented his righteous soul from day to day by seeing and hearing their lawless deeds)– 9 then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment, 10 and especially those who walk according to the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and despise authority. They are presumptuous, self-willed; they are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries, 11 whereas angels, who are greater in power and might, do not bring a reviling accusation against them before the Lord. 12 But these, like natural brute beasts made to be caught and destroyed, speak evil of the things they do not understand, and will utterly perish in their own corruption, 13 and will receive the wages of unrighteousness, as those who count it pleasure to carouse in the daytime. They are spots and blemishes, carousing in their own deceptions while they feast with you, 14 having eyes full of adultery and that cannot cease from sin, beguiling unstable souls. They have a heart trained in covetous practices, and are accursed children. 15 They have forsaken the right way and gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteo-usness; 16 but he was rebuked for his iniquity: a dumb donkey speaking with a man’s voice restrained the madness of the prophet. 17 These are wells without water, clouds carried by a tempest, to whom the gloom of darkness is reserved forever. 18 For when they speak great swelling words of emptiness, they allure through the lusts of the flesh,

Çuvati se laœnih uçitelja

A bilo je isto tako i laœnih proroka u izabranom narodu, kao æto øe i meåu vama biti krivih uçitelja, koji øe kradom unijeti pogubna krivovjerja i koji øe, nijeçuøi Gospodina æto ih je otkupio, navuøi na sebe brzu propast. 2 I mnogi øe poøi za njihovom razvratnostima, zbog njih øe se zlo govoriti o putu istine. 3 Iz lakomosti iskoriætavat øe vas izmiæljenim rijeçima. Njihova je osuda veø odavno pripravna i njihova propast ne drijema. 4 Ako, naime, Bog nije poætedio anåela koji su sagrijeæili, veø ih strmoglavio u pakao i predao mraçnim bezdanima gdje ih çuva za Sud; 5 ako nije poætedio staroga svijeta, veø samo Nou, glasnika pravednosti, sa sedam drugih saçuvao kad je spustio potop na svijet bezboœnika; 6 ako je osudio na propast gradove Sodomu i Gomoru, pretvorio ih u pepeo i postavio ih za primjer buduøim bezboœnicima; 7 ako je izbavio pravednoga Lota, koji je teæko patio od raspuætenosti tih zloçinaca 8 (jer ovaj pravednik, dok je œivio meåu njima, muçio je svoju pravednu duæu iz dana u dan promatrajuøi i sluæajuøi njihova grijeæna djela)– 9 to znaçi da Gospodin znade kako izbaviti prave ætovatelje iz kuænje, a bezboœnike saçuvati za dan Suda, 10 posebno one koji su utonuli u poœudu poçinjenih ruœnih grijeha, idu za tijelom i preziru vlasti. Oni, obijesni i drski, ne boje se vrijeåati dostojanstvenike, 11 Dok anåeli, iako su od njih jaçi i snaœniji, ne izriçu uvredljive osude protiv njih kod Gospodina. 12 A oni, poput nerazumnih œivotinja koje su po prirodi odreåene da budu hvatane i ubijane, uvredljivim rijeçima napadaju ono æto ne poznaju, te øe biti uniæteni kao i one: 13 Primit øe plaøu koja se daje za nepravednost, kao i oni koji smatraju uœivanjem svakodnevno veselje. Neçista i nakazna stvorenja, koja uœivaju u svojim nasladama kad se goste s vama. 14 Njihove su oçi pune poœude za preljubnicom i ne odustaju od grijeha. Oni zavode nestalne duæe; imaju srce ogrezlo u lakomstvu. Prokleta stvorenja! 15 Ostavili su pravi put i otiæli stranputicom, sljedeøi Bosorova sina Balaama, koji je volio plaøu nepravednosti. 16 Ali primi ukor za svoju zloøu: jedna nijema magarica progovori ljudskim glasom i sprijeçi prorokovo ludilo. 17 Oni su bezvodni izvori, oblaci magle koje tjera vihor; za njih se çuva tamnost mraka zauvijek. 18 Jer oni govore velike naduvene rijeçi is-

First John THE FIRST EPISLE OF JOHN

That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life– 2 the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us– 3 that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ. 4 And these things we write to you that your joy may be full. 5 This is the message which we have heard from him and declare to you, that God is light and in him is no darkness at all. 6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. 7 But if we walk in the light as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin. 8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. \

My little children, these things I write to you, that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. 2 And he himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world. 3 Now by this we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 4 He who says, “I know him,” and does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But whoever keeps his word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in him. 6 He who says he abides in him ought himself also to walk just as he walked. 7 Brethren, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you heard from the beginning. 8 Again, a new commandment I write to you, which thing is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the true light is already shining. 9 He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness until now. 10 He who loves his brother abides in the light, and

Zajedniætvo s Ocem i Sinom

Ono æto je bilo od poçetka, æto smo çuli, æto smo svojim oçima vidjeli, æto smo promatrali i æto su naæe ruke opipale o Rijeçi œivota– 2 da, œivot se oçitovao, mi smo ga vidjeli i svjedoçimo za njega, i navjeæøujemo vam œivot vjeçni, koji je bio kod Oca i koji se je nama objavio– 3 ono æto smo vidjeli i çuli, to navjeæøujemo i vama, da i vi imate s nama zajedniætvo. A naæe je zajedniætvo s Ocem i Sinom njegovim Isusom Kristom. 4 Mi vam ovo piæemo da vaæa radost bude potpuna. 5 A ovo je poruka koju smo çuli od njega i koju vam objavljujemo. Bog je svjetlo i nikakve tame nema u njemu. 6 Ako tvrdimo da smo u zajednici s njim, a œivimo u tami, laœemo i ne postupamo prema istini. 7 Ali ako u svjetlu œivimo, kao æto je on u svjetlu, u zajednici smo jedan s drugim, i krv nas njegova Sina Isusa çisti od svakoga grijeha. 8 Ako tvrdimo da grijeha nemamo, sami sebe varamo, i u nama nema istine. 9 Ako priznajemo svoje grijehe, vjeran je on i pravedan: oprostit øe nam grijehe i oçistiti nas od svake nepravednosti. 10 Ako kaœemo da nemamo grijeha, pravimo ga laæcem, i njegova rijeç nije u nama.

Oproætenje grijeha po Kristu

Djeçice moja, ovo vam piæem da ne poçinite grijeha. Ali ako tko i poçini grijeh, imamo zagovornika kod Oca: Isusa Krista, pravednika. 2 On je œrtva pomirnica za naæe grijehe; ne samo za naæe, nego za grijehe cijeloga svijeta. 3 Ako vræimo njegove zapovijedi, po tom znamo da ga poznajemo. 4 Onaj tko reçe da ga poznaje, a ne vræi njegovih zapovijedi, laœac je, i u njemu nema istine. 5 Ali tko god vræi njegovu rijeç, uistinu, u tomu je do savræenstva doæla ljubav Boœja. Po tomu znamo da smo u njemu. 6 Tko govori da je u Njemu, taj mora tako i œivot provoditi kao æto ga je i On provodio. 7 Ljubljena braøo, ja vam ne piæem novu zapovijed, nego staru zapovijed koju ste vi primili joæ od poçetka. Ta stara zapovijed jest rijeç koju ste çuli joæ od poçetka. 8 S druge strane opet, piæem vam novu zapovijed, ta se novost obistinjuje u njemu i u vama, jer tama prolazi, a pravo svjetlo veø svijetli. 9 Tko tvrdi da je u svjetlu, a mrzi svojega brata, joæ je uvijek u tami.

For this purpose the Son of God 8 Onaj tko çini grijeh, od åavla je, jer åavao griwas manifested, that he might destroy the works of jeæi od poçetka. Zbog toga se Sin Boœji pojavio, da uniæti åavolska djela. the devil. 9 Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for his 9 Tko god je roåen od Boga, ne çini grijeha, jer seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he sjeme njegovo ostaje u njemu; ne moœe grijeæiti, jer je roåen od Boga. has been born of God. 10 In this the children of God and the children of the 10 Djeca Boœja i djeca åavolska poznaju se po devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice right- ovom: tko god ne çini ono æto je pravedno i tko eousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love ne ljubi svojega brata, nije od Boga. 11 Jer ovo je poruka koju ste çuli joæ od pohis brother. 11 For this is the message that you heard from the çetka: da trebamo ljubiti jedan drugoga. 12 Ne postupajmo kao Kain, koji je jer je bio od beginning, that we should love one another, 12 not as Cain who was of the wicked one and mur- Zloga, umorio svojega brata!

He who does not love 15 Tko god mrzi svojega brata, ubojica je; a znate da nijedan ubojica nema u sebi vjeçnoga his brother abides in death. 15 Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you œivota. know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. 16 Po tomu smo spoznali ljubav æto je On za 16 By this we know love, because he laid down his nas dao svoj œivot. Tako i mi moramo dati svoj life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for œivot za svoju braøu. 17 Ali tko god posjeduje zemaljska dobra i vidi the brethren. 17 But whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his svojega brata u nevolji i od njega zatvori svoje brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how srce, kako øe ljubav Boœja ostati u njemu? 18 Djeçice, ne ljubimo rijeçju i jezikom, nego does the love of God abide in him? 18 My little children, let us not love in word or in djelom i iskreno. 19 Po tomu øemo poznati da smo od istine i tongue, but in deed and in truth. 19 And by this we know that we are of the truth, and pred njim umiriti svoju savjest. 20 Jer ako nas naæe srce osuåuje, Bog je veøi shall assure our hearts before him. 20 For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than srca naæega, i znade sve. 21 Ljubljeni, ako nas naæe srce ne osuåuje, our heart, and knows all things. 21 Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we imamo pouzdanje u Boga. 22 I æto god ga zamolimo, primamo od njega, have confidence toward God. 22 And whatever we ask we receive from him, be- jer drœimo njegove zapovijedi i çinimo æto je cause we keep his commandments and do those njemu ugodno. 23 A njegova je zapovijed ovo: da trebamo things that are pleasing in his sight. 23 And this is his commandment: that we should be- vjerovati u njegova Sina Isusa Krista i ljubiti lieve on the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love jedan drugoga kao æto nam je dao zapovijed. 24 Tko drœi njegove zapovijedi, ostaje u Bogu i one another, as he gave us commandment. 24 Now he who keeps his commandments abides in Bog u njemu. I po tomu, po Duhu æto nam ga je him, and he in him. And by this we know that he dao, spoznajemo da On ostaje u nama. abides in us, by the Spirit whom he has given us.

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, 3 and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world. 4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

Ljubav Boga i bliœnjega svoga

Ljubljeni, nemojte vjerovati svakom duhu, veø duhove kuæajte, da vidite jesu li od Boga, jer su se pojavili mnogi laœni proroci u svijetu. 2 Po ovom poznajete duh Boœji: svaki duh koji priznaje, da je Isus Krist doæao u tijelu, od Boga je. 3 A svaki onaj duh koji ne priznaje da je Isus Krist doæao u tijelu, nije od Boga. A to je duh antikrista, o kojemu ste çuli da dolazi, a veø je i sada u svijetu. 4 Vi ste, djeçice, od Boga i vi ste ih nadvladali, jer je veøi onaj koji je u vama nego onaj koji je u svijetu.

Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves him who begot also loves him who is begotten of him. 2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep his commandments. 3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome. 4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world– our faith. 5 Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? 6 This is he who came by water and blood–Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth. 7 For there are three who bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. 8 And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one. 9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is the witness of God which he has testified of his Son. 10 He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself; he who does not believe God has

Posluænost po vjeri

Tko god vjeruje da je Isus Krist roåen od Boga; i svaki onaj tko god ljubi onoga koji ga je rodio, ljubi i onoga koji je od njega roåen. 2 Po tomu znamo da ljubimo djecu Boœju: kad god ljubimo Boga i drœimo njegove zapovijedi. 3 Jer u ovom stoji ljubav prema Bogu: da drœimo njegove zapovijedi. A njegove zapovijedi nisu teæke. 4 Jer sve æto je od Boga roåeno pobjeåuje svijet. A ovo je sredstvo pobjede koje pobjeåuje svijet; naæa vjera. 5 Tko je pobjednik svijeta, ako nije onaj koji vjeruje da je Isus Sin Boœji? 6 To je onaj koji je doæao s vodom i krvlju: Isus Krist, ne samo s vodom nego s vodom i krvlju. I Duh je onaj koji ovo svjedoçi, jer je Duh istina. 7 Tako ima troje koji svjedoçe na nebu, Otac, Rijeç i Duh Sveti, i oni troje su jedno. 8 I tako troje svjedoçi na zemlji: Duh, voda i krv, i ovo se troje slaœe kao jedan. 9 Ako primamo svjedoçanstvo ljudi, svjedoçanstvo je Boœje veøe, jer je svjedoçanstvo Boœje. On je svjedoçio o svojemu Sinu. 10 Svaki onaj tko vjeruje u Sina Boœjega ima to svjedoçanstvo u sebi; tko ne vjeruje u Boga, pravi ga laæcem, jer ne vjeruje svjedoçanstvu koje Bog daje o svojemu Sinu. 11 A ovo je to svjedoçanstvo: da nam je Bog

DrugaPOSLANICA Ivanova

The elder, to the elect lady and her children, whom I love in truth, and not only I, but also all those who have known the truth, 2 because of the truth which abides in us and will be with us forever: 3 Grace, mercy, and peace will be with you from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love. 4 I rejoiced greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, as we received commandment from the Father. 5 And now I plead with you, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment to you, but that which we have had from the beginning: that we love one another. 6 This is love, that we walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, that as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it. 7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. 8 Look to yourselves, that we do not lose those things we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward. 9 Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son. 10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him; 11 for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds.

Ovo je ta zapovijed, kao æto ste çuli od poçetka, da tako po njoj œivite! 7 Jer u svijetu su se pojavili mnogi zavodnici, koji ne priznaju da Isus Krist dolazi u tijelu. Svaki takav je zavodnik, antikrist. 8 Pazite sami na se, da ne izgubite æto ste stekli, veø, naprotiv, da primite potpunu plaøu. 9 Tko god grijeæi, prestupa i ne ostaje u Kristovoj nauci, nema Boga. Onaj koji ostaje u toj nauci Kristovoj, ima i Oca i Sina. 10 Ako tko doåe k vama, a ne donosi ove nauke, nemojte ga primiti u kuøu i nemojte ga pozdravljati. 11 Tko ga pozdravlja, sudjeluje u zlim djelima

THE THISD EPISLE OF JOHN

The elder, To the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth: 2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. 3 For I rejoiced greatly when brethren came and testified of the truth that is in you, just as you walk in the truth. 4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. 5 Beloved, you do faithfully whatever you do for the brethren and for strangers, 6 who have borne witness of your love before the church. If you send them forward on their journey in a manner worthy of God, you will do well, 7 because they went forth for his name’s sake, taking nothing from the Gentiles. 8 We therefore ought to receive such, that we may become fellow workers for the truth. 9 I wrote to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to have the preeminence among them, does not receive us. 10 Therefore, if I come, I will call to mind his deeds which he does, prating against us with malicious words. And not content with that, he himself does not receive the brethren, and forbids those who wish to, putting them out of the church. 11 Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. He who does good is of God, but he who does evil has not seen God. 12 Demetrius has a good testimony from all, and from the truth itself. And we also bear witness, and you know that our testimony is true. 13 I had many things to write, but I do not wish to write to you with pen and ink; 14 but I hope to see you shortly, and we shall speak face to face. Peace to you. Our friends greet you. Greet the friends by name.

Dobro øeæ uçiniti ako ih opskrbiæ za put kako je dostojno Boga, 7 jer su zbog imena Isusova krenuli na put, a ne uzimaju niæta od neznaboœaca. 8 Mi smo duœni pruœati gostoprimstvo takvim ljudima, da postanemo suradnicima za istinu. 9 Pisao sam neæto crkvi, ali Diotref, koji hoøe da bude prvi meåu njezinim çlanovima, ne priznaje naæe vlasti. 10 Zato øu mu, ako doåem tamo, dozvati u pamet ono æto çini kad o nama brblja zlobne rijeçi. Ni to mu nije dosta! On ne prima braøe, a onima koji bi to htjeli uçiniti zabranjuje te ih izopøuje iz crkve. 11 Ljubljeni, nemojte slijediti zlo, nego ono æto je dobro! Tko dobro çini, od Boga je; tko çini zlo, nije vidio Boga. 12 Demetriju u prilog svi svjedoçe, ukljuçujuøi i samu istinu.

The OFRevelation JESUS CHRIST

The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants–things which must shortly take place. And he sent and signified it by his angel to his servant John, 2 who bore witness to the word of God, and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, and to all things that he saw. 3 Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near. 4 John, to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace to you and peace from him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are before his throne, 5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth. To him who loved us and washed us from our sins in his own blood, 6 and has made us kings and priests to his God and Father, to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. 7 Behold, he is coming with clouds, and every eye will see him, and they also who pierced him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of him. Even so, Amen. 8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” 9 I, John, both your brother and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was on the island that is called Patmos for the word of God and for the testimony of Jesus Christ. 10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, as of a trumpet, 11 saying, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last,” and, “What you see, write in a book and send it to the seven churches which are in Asia: to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamos, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.” 12 Then I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands, 13 and in the midst of the seven lampstands One like the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the feet and girded about the chest with a golden band. 14 His head and his hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes like a flame of fire; 15 His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and his voice as the sound of many waters; 16 He had in his right hand seven stars, out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and his countenance was like the sun shining in its strength. 17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. But he laid his right hand on me, saying to me, “Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last. 18 “I am he who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death. 19 “Write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will take place after this. 20 “The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands which you saw are the seven churches.

Otkrivenje ISUSA KRISTA PO IVANU

Ivanovo viåenje Isusa

Otkrivenje Isusa Krista, kojemu dade Bog da pokaœe slugama svojim æto se ima uskoro dogoditi. On je to pokazao znacima po svojemu anåelu kojega je poslao svojemu sluzi Ivanu, 2 koji svjedoçi za rijeç Boœju, za svjedoçanstvo Isusa Krista i za sve ono æto je vidio. 3 Blagoslovljen je onaj koji çita i oni koji sluæaju rijeçi ovoga proroçanstva i çuvaju ono æto je u njemu napisano, jer je vrijeme blizu. 4 Ivan, sedmerim crkvama koje su u Aziji: Milost neka vam bude i mir od onoga koji jest, koji je bio i koji øe doøi i od sedam Duhova koji su pred njegovim prijestoljem, 5 i od Isusa Krista, koji je vjeran svjedok, prvoroåenac od mrtvih i vladar zemaljskih kraljeva. Njemu, koji nas ljubi i koji nas je oprao od grijeha svojom krvlju, 6 uçinio nas kraljevima i sveøenicima svojemu Bogu i Ocu, njemu slava i vlast u vijeke vjekova. Amen. 7 Evo, On dolazi s oblacima, vidjet øe ga svako oko, i oni koji su ga proboli. Zbog njega øe proplakati svi narodi na zemlji. Da, zaista! Amen. 8 Ja sam Alfa i Omega, Poçetak i Svræetak,” govori Gospodin: “ Onaj koji jest, koji je bio i koji øe doøi, Svemoøni.” 9 Ja, Ivan, vaæ brat i sudionik u nevolji, u kraljevstvu i ustrajnosti Isusa Krista, bio sam na otoku koji se zove Patmos, zbog rijeçi Boœje i zbog svjedoçanstva Isusa Krista. 10 Bio sam u duhu na dan Gospodinov i çuo kako se iza mene ori jaki glas poput trube, 11 govoreøi: “Ja sam Alfa i Omega, prvi i posljednji” i “Æto vidiæ, napiæi u knjigu i poæalji k sedmerim crkvama u Aziji: u Efez, u Smirnu, u Pergam, u Tijatiru, u Sard, u Filadelfiju i u Laodiceju!” 12 Okrenuo sam se da vidim glas æto mi govori. I kako sam se okrenuo opazio sam sedam zlatnih svijeønjaka, 13 a usred sedam svijeønjaka netko kao Sin Çovjeçji, odjeven u dugu haljinu do stopala i opasan oko prsiju zlatnim pojasom. 14 Njegova glava i njegove vlasi bile su bijele kao bijela vuna, bijela kao snijeg, a Njegove oçi kao plamen ognjeni. 15 Njegove su noge bile kao od mjedi kad se uœari u peøi; njegov glas kao æum velikih voda. 16 U svojoj je desnoj ruci imao sedam zvijezda, iz njegovih je usta izlazio oætar dvosjekli maç, a njegovo je lice bilo kao sunce kad sjaji u svoj svojoj jakosti. 17 Kad sam ga opazio, pao sam mu pred noge kao mrtav, a on je stavio na mene svoju desnu ruku, govoreøi: “Nemoj se bojati! Ja sam Prvi i Posljednji. 18 Ja sam onaj koji œivi, a bio sam mrtav, a evo, Ja sam œiv u vijeke vjekova. Amen. Ja imam kljuçeve od Podzemlja i od Smrti. 19 Napiæi ono æto si vidio, i ono æto jest, i ono æto øe se dogoditi poslije toga. 20 A tajanstveno znaçenje sedam zvijezda koje si vidio u mojoj desnoj ruci i sedam zlatnih svijeønjaka: sedam zvijezda anåeli su od sedam crkava, a sedam svijeønjaka koje si vidio sedam je crkava.

After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, “Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.” 2 Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne set in heaven, and One sat on the throne. 3 And he who sat there was like a jasper and a sardius stone in appearance; and there was a rainbow around the throne, in appearance like an emerald. 4 Around the throne were twenty-four thro-nes, and on the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white robes; and they had crowns of gold on their heads. 5 And from the throne proceeded lightnings, thunderings, and voices. And there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. 6 Before the throne there was a sea of glass, like crystal. And in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, were four living creatures full of eyes in front and in back. 7 The first living creature was like a lion, the second living creature like a calf, the third living creature had a face like a man, and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle. 8 And the four living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes around and within. And they do not rest day or night, saying: “Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, Who was and is and is to come!” 9 Whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever, 10 the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying: 11 “You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power; for you created all things, and by your will they exist and were created.”

Ivanovo viåenje Boœjega prijestolja

Poslije toga ja pogledam, i gle, vrata otvorena na nebu, i prvi glas koji sam çuo gdje mi govori bio je poput trube, govoreøi: “Uziåi ovamo da ti pokaœem æto se mora dogoditi poslije ovoga.” 2 I odmah sam bio u Duhu; i gle, u nebu je stajalo prijestolje, i na prijestolju je sjedio Netko. 3 Onaj koji je sjedio bio je po viåenju kao kamen jaspis i sard, a uokolo prijestolja bila je duga, po viåenju kao smaragd. 4 Uokolo prijestolja dvadeset i çetiri prijestolja, na kojima su sjedila dvadeset i çetiri starjeæine, odjevene u bijele haljine, sa zlatnim vijencima na svojim glavama. 5 A iz prijestolja su izlazile munje, gromovi i glasovi. Pred prijestoljem gorjelo je sedam svjetiljaka, koje su sedam Duhova Boœjih. 6 Ispred prijestolja bilo je neæto kao stakleno more sliçno kristalu. U sredini prijestolja i oko prijestolja çetiri œiva stvorenja, sprijeda i straga puna oçiju. 7 Prvo œivo stvorenje bilo je kao lav, drugo œivo stvorenje kao junac, treøe œivo stvorenje imalo je lice kao u çovjeka, a çetvrto œivo stvorenje bilo je kao orao u letu. 8 Svako od çetiri œiva stvorenja imalo je po æest krila, puna oçiju naokolo i iznutra. Bez prestanka, dan i noø, govore: “Svet, svet, svet, Gospodin Bog Svemoøni, koji je bio, koji jest i koji øe doøi!” 9 Svaki put kad bi œiva stvorenja davala slavu, çast i zahvalu Onomu koji sjedi na prijestolju, koji œivi u vijeke vjekova, 10 dvadeset i çetiri starjeæine pali su pred onim koji sjedi na prijestolju, i poklonili se njemu koji œivi u vijeke vjekova i odloœili svoje vijence pred prijestolje, govoreøi: 11 Ti si dostojan, Gospodine Boœe, primiti slavu, çast i moø; jer ti si stvorio sve, i po tvojoj volji postoji i za tebe je stvoreno.”

Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals; and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a voice like thunder, “Come and see.” 2 And I looked, and behold, a white horse. And he who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer. 3 When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come and see.” 4 And another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword. 5 When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come and see.” And I looked, and behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. 6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine.” 7 When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, “Come and see.” 8 And I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades

Æest peçata

Tada sam vidio Janje gdje otvora jedan od sedam peçata, i çujem jedno od çetiriju œivih stvorenja govoreøi gromoglasno: “Doåi i vidi!” 2 I ja pogledam, i vidim bijelog konja, a onaj æto je jahao na njemu drœao je luk; i njemu se dade vijenac te iziåe pobjednik, da i dalje pobjeåuje 3 Kad On otvori drugi peçat, çuo sam drugo œivo stvorenje gdje govori: “Doåi i vidi!” 4 I iziæao je drugi konj, riåan, a onomu koji je jahao na njemu dopustilo se da uzme mir sa zemlje te da ljudi ubijaju jedan drugoga. I dade mu se velik maç. 5 Kad On otvori treøi peçat, çuo sam treøe œivo stvorenje gdje govori: “Doåi i vidi!” I ja pogledam i vidim konja vranca, a onaj koji je jahao na njemu imao je vagu u svojoj ruci. 6 I çuo sam glas æto dolazi posred çetiriju œivih stvorenja govoreøi: “Mjera pæenice za denar, tri mjere jeçma za denar; a ulju i vinu nemojte nauditi.” 7 Kad On otvori çetvrti peçat, çuo sam glas çetvrtog œivog stvorenja gdje govori: “Doåi i vidi!” 8 Pogledam i vidim konja blijedog, a onomu æto

After these things I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, on the sea, or on any tree. 2 Then I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God. And he cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea, 3 saying, “Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.” 4 And I heard the number of those who were sealed. One hundred and forty-four thousand of all the tribes of the sons of Israel were sealed: 5 of the tribe of Judah twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand were sealed; 6 of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand were sealed; 7 of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand were sealed; 8 of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Benjamin twelve thousand were sealed. 9 After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, 10 and crying out with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”

Zapeçaøeni iz dvanaest plemena

Poslije toga sam vidio çetiri anåela gdje stoje na çetiri ugla zemlje, drœeøi çetiri zemaljska vjetra, da ne bi nikakav vjetar puhao ni na zemlju ni na more, niti na ijedno stablo. 2 I vidio sam jednoga drugog anåela gdje uzlazi od istoka, s peçatom œivoga Boga. On povika jakim glasom çetirima anåelima kojima je bilo dano da naækode zemlji i moru, 3 govoreøi: “Ne pustoæite ni zemlje, ni mora, ni stabala, dok ne zapeçatimo sluge naæega Boga na njihovim çelima.” 4 I zaçuo sam broj zapeçaøenih. A bilo ih je stotinu çetrdeset i çetiri tisuøe iz svih plemena Izraelovih sinova: 5 Iz plemena Judina dvanaest tisuøa zapeçaøenih; iz plemena Rubenova dvanaest tisuøa zapeçaøenih; iz plemena Gadova dvanaest tisuøa zapeçaøenih; 6 Iz plemena Aæerova dvanaest tisuøa zapeçaøenih; iz plemena Naftalijeva dvanaest tisuøa zapeçaøenih; iz plemena Manasehova dvanaest tisuøa zapeçaøenih; 7 Iz plemena Simeonova dvanaest tisuøa zapeçaøenih; iz plemena Levijeva dvanaest tisuøa zapeçaøenih; iz plemena Isakarova dvanaest tisuøa zapeçaøenih; 8 Iz plemena Zebulunova dvanaest tisuøa zapeçaøenih; iz plemena Josipova dvanaest tisuøa zapeçaøenih; iz plemena Benjaminova dvanaest tisuøa zapeçaøenih. 9 Poslije toga pogledao sam, i vidio, veliko mnoætvo naroda, koje nitko nije mogao izbrojiti, iz svakog naroda i plemena, puka i jezika, gdje stoji pred prijestoljem i pred Janjetom, odjeveno u bijele haljine, s palminim granama u rukama 10 i viçuøi jakim glasom: “Spasenje pripada naæemu Bogu, koji sjedi na prijestolju, i Jan-

When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. 2 And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them were given seven trumpets. 3 Then another angel, having a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. And he was given much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. 4 And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, ascended before God from the angel’s hand. 5 Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and threw it to the earth. And there were noises, thunderings, light-nings, and an earthquake. 6 So the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound. 7 The first angel sounded: And hail and fire followed, mingled with blood, and they were thrown to the earth; and a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up. 8 Then the second angel sounded: And something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood; 9 and a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed. 10 Then the third angel sounded: And a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water; 11 and the name of the star is Wormwood; and a third of the waters became wormwood; and many men died from the water, because it was made bitter. 12 Then the fourth angel sounded: And a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them were darkened; and a third of the day did not shine, and likewise the night. 13 And I looked, and I heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, “Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the three angels who are about to sound!”

Sedmog peçat i çetiri trube

A kad On otvori sedmi peçat, nastane tiæina na nebu oko pola sata. 2 I vidio sam sedam anåela koji stoje pred Bogom; i njima je bilo dano sedam truba. 3 Tada neki drugi anåeo, imajuøi zlatni kadionik, doåe i stane do œrtvenika. I bilo mu je dano mnogo kad da ga prinese u prilog molitava svih svetih na zlatni œrtvenik koji je bio pred prijestoljem. 4 I dim od kaåenja, koji je iziæao s molitvama svetih, iz anåelove ruke uzvije se pred Boga. 5 Tada je anåeo uzeo kadionik, napunio ga ognjem sa œrtvenika i prosuo na zemlju. I nastali su glasovi, grmljavine, sijevanje munja i potres zemlje. 6 A sedam anåela, koji su imali sedam truba, pripremili se da zatrube. 7 Prvi je anåeo zatrubio, pojavi se tuça i oganj, izmijeæani s krvlju, i budu baçeni na zemlju; te izgori treøina stabala i sva zelena trava. 8 Tada je drugi anåeo zatrubio i neæto kao velika gora ognjem zapaljena bi baçena u more, a treøina se mora pretvori u krv. 9 Tako pogine treøina œivih stvorenja koji su œivjeli u moru i treøina laåa bi uniætena. 10 I treøi je anåeo zatrubio, tada padne s neba velika zvijezda, koja je gorjela kao baklja, te padne na treøinu rijeka i na izvore voda. 11 A ime je toj zvijezdi Pelin. I treøina se voda pretvori u Pelin, te mnoætvo ljudi pomre od voda jer su postale gorke. 12 Onda je çetvrti anåeo zatrubio; treøina sunca bi udarena, i treøina mjeseca, i treøina zvijezda, tako da su pomraçili za jednu treøinu, a treøina dana ne svijetli, a noø isto tako. 13 I ja pogledam i çujem jednoga anåela gdje leti posred neba, govoreøi jakim glasom: “Jao, jao, jao stanovnicima zemlje od daljnjih glasova trube trojice anåela koji øe joæ zatrubiti!”

And I saw still another mighty angel coming down from heaven, clothed with a cloud. And a rainbow was on his head, his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire. 2 And he had a little book open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the

Then I was given a reed like a measuring rod. And the angel stood, saying, “Rise and measure the temple of God, the altar, and those who worship there. 2 “But leave out the court which is outside the temple, and do not measure it, for it has been given to the Gentiles. And they will tread the holy city under foot for forty-two months. 3 “And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.” 4 These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands standing before the God of the earth. 5 And if anyone wants to harm them, fire proceeds from their mouth and devours their enemies. And if anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this manner. 6 These have power to shut heaven, so that no rain falls in the days of their prophecy; and they have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to strike the earth with all plagues, as often as they desire. 7 Now when they finish their testimony, the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit will make war against them, overcome them, and kill them. 8 And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. 9 Then those from the peoples, tribes, tongues, and nations will see their dead bodies three and a half days, and not allow their dead bodies to be put into graves. 10 And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them, make merry, and send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth. 11 Now after the three and a half days the breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them. 12 And they heard a loud voice from heaven saying

Dva svjedoka i sedma truba

Potom mi je dana trska kao ætap za mjerenje. A anåeo je stajao govoreøi: “Ustani i izmjeri hram Boœji, œrtvenik i one koji se tamo klanjaju. 2 A dvoriæte koje je izvan hrama izostavi i ne mjeri ga, jer je predano neznaboæcima. Oni øe gaziti sveti grad çetrdeset i dva mjeseca. 3 I Ja øu dati dvojici svojih svjedoka moø da proriçu tisuøu dvjesta i æezdeset dana, odjeveni u kostrijet.” 4 To su dva maslinska stabla i dvije svjetiljke æto stoje pred Bogom, Gospodarom zemlje. 5 I ako im tko hoøe uçiniti kakvo zlo, iz usta im sukne oganj i proœdre njihove neprijatelje. I ako im tko hoøe uçiniti kakvo zlo, mora biti tako ubijen. 6 Oni imaju vlast zatvoriti nebo da ne pada kiæa u dane njihova prorokovanja; imaju i vlast nad vodama da ih pretvaraju u krv, i vlast da udare zemlju svakovrsnim poæastima, koliko god çesto budu htjeli. 7 A kad øe oni dovræiti svoje svjedoçanstvo, zvijer koja izlazi iz bezdana ratovati øe protiv njih, pobijedit øe ih i ubiti. 8 I njihova øe mrtva tjelesa leœati na ulici velikoga grada, koji se duhovno zove Sodoma i Egipat, gdje je isto i naæ Gospodin bio razapet. 9 Tada øe oni od svih ljudi, svakog plemena, jezika i naroda, gledati njihova tjelesa tri i po dana i neøe dopustiti da se njihova tjelesa poloœe u grob. 10 A oni koji œive na zemlji radovat øe se tomu, veseliti i slati darove jedan drugomu, jer su ova dva proroka muçila one koji stanuju na zemlji. 11 A nakon tri i pol dana duh œivota od Boga uåe u njih i oni stanu na svoje noge, a veliki strah obuzeo one koji su ih vidjeli. 12 Tada se zaçuo jaki glas s neba koji im je govorio: “Uziåite ovamo.” I oni uziåu na nebo u ob-

Behold, the third woe is 15 Tada je sedmi anåeo zatrubio i na nebu odjeknu jaki glasovi govoreøi: “Kraljevstva coming quickly. 15 Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were ovoga svijeta postala su kraljevstva naæega loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdoms of this Gospodina, i njegova Krista, On øe vladati u viworld have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of jeke vjekova!” 16 Tada dvadeset i çetiri starjeæine, koji pred his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever!” 16 And the twenty-four elders who sat before God on Bogom sjede na svojim prijestoljima, pali su their thrones fell on their faces and worshiped God, niçice i poklone se Bogu 17 saying: “We give you thanks, O Lord God Al- 17 govoreøi: “Zahvaljujemo ti, Gospodine Boœe mighty, the One who is and who was and who is to Svemoøni, koji jesi, koji si bio, i koji øeæ doøi, jer come, because you have taken your great power Ti si uzeo svoju veliku moø i kraljujeæ. 18 A narodi se razgnjevili, pa doåe Tvoj gnjev i and reigned. 18 The nations were angry, and your wrath has vrijeme da se sudi mrtvima i da nagradiæ tvoje come, and the time of the dead, that they should be sluge proroke i svete te one koji se boje Tvojudged, and that you should reward your servants jega imena, male i velike, i da se uniæte oni koji the prophets and the saints, and those who fear your uniætavaju zemlju.” name, small and great, and should destroy those 19 Uto se otvorio hram Boœji na nebu i pokazao se ækrinja njegova zavjeta u njegovu hramu te who destroy the earth.” 19 Then the temple of God was opened in heaven, nastane sijevanje munja, i glasovi, i gromovi, i and the ark of his covenant was seen in his temple. potres zemlje, i velika tuça. And there were lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail.

Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars. 2 Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth. 3 And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads. 4 His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born. 5 And she bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was caught up to God and to his throne. 6 Then the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days. 7 And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, 8 but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. 9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. 10 Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. 11 “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death. 12 “Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.” 13 Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave

Œena i Zmaj

Veliki se znak pokazao na nebu: Œena odjevena u sunce, mjesec pod njezinim nogama, a na glavi joj vijenac od dvanaest zvijezda. 2 Bila je trudna i vikala je u bolovima i mukama raåanja. 3 Zatim se pokazao drugi znak na nebu: i gle, veliki plameno-crveni zmaj sa sedam glava i deset rogova, a na glavama njegovim sedam kruna. 4 I njegov rep povuçe treøinu nebeskih zvijezda i baci ih na zemlju. A zmaj stane pred œenu, koja je imala upravo roditi, da joj proœdre Dijete çim ga rodi. 5 I ona je rodila muæko Dijete, koji øe vladati svim narodima œeljeznim ætapom. Njezino Dijete bilo je doneseno k Bogu i njegovu prijestolju. 6 A œena pobjeœe u pustinju, gdje joj je Bog pripravio skloniæte, da se tamo hrani tisuøu dvjesta i æezdeset dana. 7 Uto je poçeo rat na nebu: Mihael sa svojim anåelima borio se protiv zmaja, i zmaj i njegovi anåeli se borili, 8 ali nisu mogli nadvladati, niti je za njih viæe bilo mjesta na nebu. 9 Tako je bio je zbaçen veliki zmaj, ta zmija od starina, koja se zove Åavao i Sotona, æto zavodi çitav svijet, on je bio zbaçen na zemlju, s njim su zbaçeni i anåeli njegovi. 10 Tada zaçujem jak glas u nebu gdje govori: “Sada je doælo spasenje i snaga i kraljevstvo naæega Boga, i vlast njegova Krista, jer je izbaçen tuœitelj naæe braøe, koji ih je optuœivao dan i noø pred naæim Bogom. 11 Oni su ga pobijedili krvlju Janjeta i rijeçju svojega svjedoçanstva, jer nisu marili za svoj œivot sve do smrti. 12 Veselite se zato, o vi nebesa i vi koji boravite na njima! Zlo vama koji œivite na zemlji i u moru! Jer åavao je siæao k vama s velikim gnjevom, znajuøi da mu je vrijeme kratko.” 13 I kad je zmaj vidio da je zbaçen na zemlju,

Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name. 2 Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority. 3 I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast. 4 So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?” 5 And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months. 6 Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, his tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. 7 And it was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. 8 And all who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. 9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear. 10 He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity; he who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. 11 Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon. 12 And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. 13 He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. 14 And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived. 15 He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16 And he causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right

Zvijer izlazi iz mora

Stajao sam na pijesku morskog œala. I vidio sam gdje izlazi iz mora zvijer sa sedam glava i deset rogova; na rogovima deset kruna, a na glavama im bogohulna imena. 2 Ta zvijer koju sam vidio bila je kao leopard, noge su joj bile kao u medvjeda, a usta kao usta u lava. Zmaj joj dade svoju moø, svoje prijestolje i veliku vlast. 3 I vidio sam jednu od njezinih glava smrtonosno ranjenu, ali njezina je smrtonosna rana bila iscijeljena. Sva se zemlja zaçudila i pristala uz zvijer. 4 Tako se oni poklone zmaju æto je zvijeri predao vlast; a poklone se i zvijeri, govoreøi: “Tko je jednak zvijeri i tko moœe ratovati protiv nje?” 5 I dana su joj usta da govori velike stvari i psovke, i vlast joj je dana da çini çetrdeset i dva mjeseca. 6 Tada ona otvori svoja usta u bogohulnosti protiv Boga, pa psuje i huli njegovo ime, njegovo boraviæte i one koji borave na nebu. 7 I dano joj je da povede rat protiv svetih i da ih pobijedi. Dana joj je vlast nad svakim plemenom, jezikom i narodom. 8 I poklonit øe joj se svi oni koji borave na zemlji, svaki çije ime ne stoji zapisano u Knjizi Œivota Janjeta zaklanog od postanka svijeta 9 Tko ima uho za çuti, neka çuje. 10 Onaj tko vodi u ropstvo bit øe odveden u ropstvo; onaj tko ubija maçem, od maça mora poginuti. Ovdje je strpljenje i vjera svetih. 11 I potom sam vidio drugu zvijer gdje izlazi iz zemlje, imala je dva roga kao u janjeta, a govorila je kao zmaj. 12 I vræi svu vlast prve zvijeri u njezinoj nazoçnosti, i uçini da se zemlja i oni koji borave na njoj klanjaju prvoj zvijeri, kojoj je bila iscijeljena smrtna rana. 13 I çini velike çudesne znakove, tako çini da se vatra s neba spuæta na zemlju na oçigled ljudi 14 i da zavodi one koji borave na zemlji sa onim çudesima æto su joj dana da çini pred zvijeri, govoreøi onima koji borave na zemlji, da naprave kip zvijeri koja je bila ranjena maçem, ali je ostala na œivotu. 15 On je dobio moø, udahnuti œivot kipu zvijeri, tako da kip zvijeri moœe govoriti i uçinio da se poubijaju svi oni koji se nisu htjeli pokloniti kipu zvijeri. 16 A ona uçini da svi, mali i veliki, bogati i siromaæni, slobodni i robovi, prime œig na njihovu desnu ruku ili na njihovim çelima, 17 i da nitko ne moœe ni kupovati ni prodavati,

Then I looked, and behold, a Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having his Father’s name written on their foreheads. 2 And I heard a voice from heaven, like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of loud thunder. And I heard the sound of harpists playing their harps. 3 And they sang as it were a new song before the throne, before the four living creatures, and the elders; and no one could learn that song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who were redeemed from the earth. 4 These are the ones who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed from among men, being firstfruits to God and to the Lamb. 5 And in their mouth was found no guile, for they are without fault before the throne of God. 6 Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth–to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people– 7 saying with a loud voice, “Fear God and give glory to him, for the hour of his judgment has come; and worship him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.” 8 And another angel followed, saying, “Baby-lon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she has made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.” 9 Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10 “he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of his indignation. And he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. 11 “And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.” 12 Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. 13 Then I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.’ ” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors, and their works follow them.” 14 And I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and on the cloud sat One like the Son of Man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle. 15 And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud, “Thrust in your sickle and reap, for the time has come for you to reap, for the harvest of the earth is ripe.” 16 So he who sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped. 17 Then another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. 18 And another angel came out from the altar, who had power over fire, and he cried with a loud cry to

Stotina çetrdeset i çetiri tisuøe

Tada ja pogledam, i gle, Janje je stajalo na Sionskoj gori, a s njim stotinu çetrdeset i çetiri tisuøe ljudi, imali su ime njegovo i ime njegova Oca napisano na svojim çelima. 2 I zaçujem glas s neba, kao glas mnogih voda i kao glas velikog groma. I çujem glas citraæa æto sviraju na svojim citrama. 3 Pjevali su neæto kao novu pjesmu ispred prijestolja, çetvorim œivim stvorenjima i pred starjeæinama. Nitko nije mogao nauçiti te pjesme, osim onih stotinu çetrdeset i çetiri tisuøe koji su bili otkupljeni sa zemlje. 4 To su oni koji se nisu oneçistili sa œenama, jer to su djevci. To su oni koji prate Janje kamo god ide. Oni su otkupljeni izmeåu ljudi kao prvenci Bogu i Janjetu. 5 U njihovim se ustima ne naåe laœ, jer oni su bez mane pred prijestoljem Boœjim. 6 Uto sam vidio drugoga anåela gdje leti posred neba, noseøi jednu neprolaznu radosnu vijest koju mu je trebalo navijestiti onima koji borave na zemlji, svakom narodu i plemenu, jeziku i puku, 7 govoreøi jakim glasom: “Bojte se Boga i dajte mu slavu, jer je doæao ças njegova Suda. Poklonite se Onomu koji je stvorio nebo i zemlju, more i izvore voda.” 8 A drugi anåeo ide za njim, govoreøi: “Babilon je pao, pao je, taj veliki grad, jer je napojio sve narode vinom gnjeva svojega bluda.” 9 Tada treøi anåeo ide za njima govoreøi jakim glasom: “Tko se god pokloni zvijeri i njezinom kipu i primi œig na svoje çelo ili na svoju ruku, 10 isti taj øe piti od vina Boœjega gnjeva, pune jakosti, natoçeno u çaæu njegova gnjeva. I taj øe biti muçen ognjem i sumporom pred svetim anåelima i pred Janjetom. 11 I dim se od njihovih muka diœe u vijeke vjekova; i nema mira ni dan ni noø onima koji se klanjaju zvijeri i njezinom kipu, i svakomu onomu koji primi œig njezina imena.” 12 Na ovom se temelji postojanost svetih, ovo su oni koji drœe Boœje zapovijedi i vjeru Isusovu. 13 I uto zaçuo sam glas s neba gdje mi govori: “Napiæi: ‘Blago mrtvima koji od sada umiru u Gospodinu,’ ” “Da,” govori Duh: “neka poçinu od svojih trudova, jer njihova djela idu za njima.” 14 I ja pogledam, i gle, bijeli oblak, a na oblaku sjedi Jedan kao Sin Çovjeçji, koji ima na svojoj glavi zlatnu krunu, a u ruci mu je oætar srp. 15 I drugi anåeo je iziæao iz hrama te povikao jakim glasom onomu æto je sjedio na oblaku: “Zamahni svojim srpom i œanji, jer je doælo vrijeme da œanjeæ, jer je dozrela œetva na zemlji!” 16 Tada onaj koji je sjedio na oblaku baci na zemlju svoj srp i bude poœnjevena zemlja. 17 I drugi anåeo je iziæao iz hrama koji je na nebu i on je imao oætar srp. 18 I drugi anåeo je iziæao od œrtvenika, koji je imao vlast nad ognjem, i povika jakim glasom onomu koji je imao oætar srp govoreøi: “Zamahni svojim oætrim srpom i beri grozdove

Then I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous: seven angels having the seven last plagues, for in them the wrath of God is complete. 2 And I saw something like a sea of glass mingled with fire, and those who have the victory over the beast, over his image and over his mark and over the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God. 3 And they sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying: “Great and marvelous are your works, Lord God Almighty! Just and true are your ways, O King of the saints! 4 Who shall not fear you, O Lord, and glorify your name? For you alone are Holy. For all nations shall come and worship before you, for your judgments have been manifested.” 5 After these things I looked, and behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened. 6 And out of the temple came the seven angels having the seven plagues, clothed in pure bright linen, and having their chests girded with golden bands. 7 Then one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God who lives forever and ever. 8 The temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from his power, and no one was able to enter the temple till the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed.

16

Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, “Go and pour out the bowls of the wrath of God on the earth.” 2 So the first went and poured out his bowl upon the earth, and a foul and loathsome sore came upon the men who had the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. 3 Then the second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it became blood as of a dead man; and every living creature in the sea died. 4 Then the third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood. 5 And I heard the angel of the waters saying: “You are righteous, O Lord, the One who is and who was and who is to be, because you have judged these things. 6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and you have given them blood to drink. For it is their just due.” 7 And I heard another from the altar saying, “Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are your judgments.” 8 Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and power was given to him to scorch men with fire. 9 And men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues; and they did not repent and give him glory. 10 Then the fifth angel poured out his bowl on the

Sedam posljednjih poæasti

Potom sam vidio u nebu drugi znak, velik i divan; sedam anåela koji su imali sedam posljednjih poæasti, jer se s njima dovræuje gnjev Boœji. 2 I vidio sam neæto kao stakleno more pomijeæano s vatrom, i one koji su pobijedili zvijer, njezin kip i njezin œig i broj njezina imena, gdje stoje na staklenom moru i imaju Boœje citre. 3 I oni pjevaju pjesmu Mojsija, sluge Boœjega i pjesmu Janjeta, govoreøi: “Velika su i divna tvoja djela, Gospodaru, Boœe Svemoøni! Pravedni su i istiniti tvoji putovi, Kralju svetih. 4 Tko da te se ne boji, o Gospodaru, i tko da ne slavi tvoje Ime? Jer Ti si jedini Svet. Svi øe narodi doøi i pokloniti se pred tobom, jer su objavljeni Tvoji sudovi.” 5 I poslije toga pogledam, i gle, vidio sam otvorio se hram Æatora svjedoçanstva na nebu. 6 A iz hrama je iziælo sedam anåela koji su imali sedam poæasti, odjeveni u bijeli i çisti lan i opasani po prsima zlatnim pojasima. 7 Zatim jedno od çetiriju œivih stvorenja dade jednomu od sedam anåela sedam zlatnih çaæa, napunjenih gnjevom Boga koji œivi u vijeke vjekova. 8 Hram se napunio dimom od sjaja Boœjega i od njegove sile, i nitko nije mogao uøi u hram dok se ne dovræi sedam poæasti od sedmorice anåela.

Sedam çaæa gnjeva

Potom sam zaçuo jak glas æto dolazi iz hrama i govori sedmorici anåela: “Idite i izlijte sedam çaæa Boœjega gnjeva na zemlju.” 2 I prvi ode i izlije svoju çaæu na zemlju. I pojave se gadne i bolne rane na ljudima koji su imali zvijerin œig i koji su se klanjali njezinu kipu. 3 Tada drugi anåeo izlije svoju çaæu na more, i ono postane krv kao u mrtvaca, te ugine svako œivo stvorenje u moru. 4 Tada treøi anåeo izlije svoju çaæu na rijeke i izvore voda, i one su postale krv. 5 Uto sam çuo anåela voda, gdje govori: “O Gospodine, ti si pravedan, Ti koji jesi, koji si bio i koji øeæ biti, æto si to tako sudio. 6 Jer su oni prolili krv svetih i proroka, zato im dajeæ da piju krv, jer to im je pravedna zasluga.” 7 I zaçuo sam drugoga iz œrtvenika kako govori: “Da, Gospodaru, Boœe Svemoøni, istiniti su i pravedni Tvoji sudovi.” 8 Çetvrti anåeo izlije svoju çaæu na sunce, i bila mu je dana snaga da pali ljude vatrom. 9 A ljudi su gorjeli od velike vruøine te psovali ime Boga koji ima vlast nad ovim poæastima i nisu se pokajali i odali mu slavu. 10 I peti anåeo izlije svoju çaæu na prijestolje zvijeri; tada njezinim kraljevstvom postane velika tama. Ljudi su od muke i bola grizli jezike svoje 11 i psovali ime nebeskoga Boga zbog svojih

And men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, since that plague was exceedingly great.

17

Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and talked with me, saying to me, “Come, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters, 2 “with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication.” 3 So he carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornication. 5 And on her forehead a name was written: mystery Babylon the great, the mother of harlots and of the abominations of the earth. 6 And I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I marveled with great amazement. 7 But the angel said to me, “Why did you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns. 8 “The beast that you saw was, and is not, and will ascend out of the bottomless pit and go to perdition. And those who dwell on the earth will marvel, whose names are not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world, when they see the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

Velika bludnica

Potom jedan od sedam anåela koji su imali sedam çaæa doåe k meni govoriti sa mnom, govoreøi mi: “Doåi da ti pokaœem sud velike bludnice koja sjedi na mnogim vodama; 2 s kojom su kraljevi zemlje provodili bludnost, i koja je prouzroçila da se oni æto borave na zemlji opiju vinom njezine bludnosti.” 3 Odnese me, u Duhu, u pustinju. I tu sam vidio œenu koja sjedi na skrletnoj zvijeri, prekrivenu bogopogrdnim imenima, imajuøi sedam glava i deset rogova. 4 Œena je bila odjevena u grimiz i skrlet i nakiøena zlatom, dragim kamenjem i biserima, drœeøi u ruci zlatnu çaæu punu odurnosti i neçistoøe svojega bluda. 5 Na njezinu je çelu napisano ime–tajna veliki Babilon, mati bludnica i odurnosti zemaljskih. 6 I vidio sam œenu, pijanu od krvi svetaca i od krvi ubijenih Isusovih svjedoka. A kad sam je vidio, zaçudio sam se velikim çudom. 7 A anåeo mi rekao: “Zaæto se çudiæ? Ja øu ti reøi tajnu ove œene i zvijeri koja ju nosi, koja ima sedam glava i deset rogova. 8 Zvijer koju si vidio bila je, i nije, izaøi øe iz jame bezdana i otiøi u propast. A oni koji borave na zemlji çudit øe se, çija imena nisu upisana u Knjizi Œivota od postanka svijeta, kad vide tu zvijer, koja je bila, i nije, i opet je tu. 9 Ovdje je um koji ima mudrost.

18

After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illuminated with his glory. 2 And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, “Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a habitation of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird! 3 “For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury.” 4 And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. 5 “For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. 6 “Render to her just as she rendered to you, and repay her double according to her works; in the cup which she has mixed, mix for her double. 7 “In the measure that she glorified herself and lived luxuriously, in the same measure give her torment and sorrow; for she says in her heart, ‘I sit as queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow.’ 8 “Therefore her plagues will come in one day– death and mourning and famine. And she will be utterly burned with fire, for strong is the Lord God who judges her. 9 “And the kings of the earth who committed fornication and lived luxuriously with her will weep and lament for her, when they see the smoke of her burning, 10 “standing at a distance for fear of her torment, saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! For in one hour your judgment has come.’ 11 “And the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise anymore: 12 “merchandise of gold and silver, precious stones and pearls, fine linen and purple, silk and scarlet,

Pad velikog Babilona

Poslije toga sam vidio drugoga anåela gdje silazi s neba, koji je imao veliku vlast, i zemlja se rasvijetli od njegova sjaja. 2 On povika jakim glasom, govoreøi: “Pade, pade veliki Babilon i postade boraviætem zloduha, i tamnica svakomu neçistom duhu, i krletkom svake neçiste i mrske ptice! 3 Jer su svi narodi pili od vina gnjeva i od vina njezine bludnosti, a kraljevi zemlje poçinili su s njom bludnost i zemaljski trgovci obogatili su se njezinom obilnom raskoæøu.” 4 Uto çujem drugi glas s neba, govoreøi: “Iziåite iz nje, moj narode, da ne budete dionici njezinih grijeha i da ne primite njezinih poæasti. 5 Jer njezini su grijesi doprli do neba, i Bog se sjetio njezinih opaçina. 6 Platite joj kao æto je i ona plaøala vama, i naplatite joj dvostruko prema njezinim djelima: U çaæu u koju je natakala natoçite joj dvostruko. 7 Kolikom se mjerom slavila i uœivala u raskoæi, istu mjeru joj zadajte muka i tuge; jer govori ona u svojemu srcu, ‘sjedim kao kraljica, nisam udovica i neøu vidjeti tuge.’ 8 Eto, zato øe je u jednom danu nastati poæasti; smrt, tuga i glad. I ona øe u ognju izgorjeti, jer moøan je Gospodin Bog koji je sudi. 9 I kraljevi zemlje koji su s njom provodili bludnost i uœivali s njom plakat øe i tugovati za njom kad vide dim njezina poœara. 10 Stojeøi daleko od straha pred njezinom mukom, govoreøi: ‘Jao, jao, veliki grade Babilone, silni grade, jer je u jednom çasu doøi sud na tebe.’ 11 Zemaljski trgovci zaplakat øe i tugovati za njom, jer nitko viæe ne kupuje njezine robe: 12 Robe od zlata i srebra, dragog kamenja i bisera, lana i grimiza, svile i skerleta, svakovrsnog mirisnog drveta; svakovrsnih predmeta od slonove kosti, svakovrsnih posuda od skupocjenog drveta, od mjedi, od œeljeza i mramora;

After these things I heard a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, “Alleluia! Salvation and glory and honor and power to the Lord our God! 2 “For true and righteous are his judgments, because he has judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication; and he has avenged on her the blood of his servants shed by her.” 3 Again they said, “Alleluia! And her smoke rises up forever and ever!” 4 And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who sat on the throne, saying, “Amen! Alleluia!” 5 Then a voice came from the throne, saying, “Praise our God, all you his servants and those who fear him, both small and great!” 6 And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, “Alleluia! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns! 7 “Let us be glad and rejoice and give him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his wife has made herself ready.” 8 And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous

Spasenje, slava, çast i moø Gospodinu naæemu Bogu! 2 Zato æto su istiniti i pravedni njegovi sudovi, jer je osudio veliku bludnicu, koja pokvari zemlju svojim bludom. On je na njoj osvetio krv svojih slugu, koju je ona prolila.” 3 I opet govore: “Aleluja! A njezin se dim diœe u vijeke vjekova!” 4 A dvadeset i çetiri starjeæine i çetiri œiva stvorenja pali su i poklonili se Bogu, koji sjedi na prijestolju, govoreøi: “Amen!

Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. 2 He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; 3 and he cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal on him, so that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years were finished. But after these things he must be released for a little while. 4 And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. 5 But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no

Potom sam opazio anåela gdje silazi s neba, imajuøi kljuç od bezdana i veliki lanac u svojoj ruci. 2 On uhvati zmaja, tu zmiju od starina, a to je Åavao i Sotona, te ga svezao za tisuøu godina; 3 i bacio ga u bezdan, zatvorio ga i stavio na njega peçat, da viæe ne zavodi narode dok se ne navræi tisuøu godina. Poslije toga mora biti odvezan za kratko vrijeme. 4 I ja sam vidio prijestolja i one koji sjede na njima, i njima je bila dana vlast da sude. I opazio sam duæe onih koji su pogubljeni zbog svojega svjedoçanstva za Isusa i za Rijeç Boœju, koji se nisu poklonili zvijeri ni njezinu kipu, i koji nisu primili œiga na svojim çelima ili na svojim rukama. Oni su œivjeli i kraljevali s Kristom tisuøu godina. 5 A ostali mrtvaci nisu oœivjeli dokle se nije navræilo tisuøu godina. Ovo je prvo uskrsnuøe. 6 Blagoslovljen i svet je onaj koji je dionik ovoga prvoga uskrsnuøa. Nad ovima druga smrt nema vlasti, nego øe biti sveøenici Boœji i Kristovi i s njim øe kraljevati tisuøu godina.

This is the second death. 15 And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.

And I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. 2 Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4 “And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying; and there shall be no more pain, for the former things have pas-sed away.” 5 Then he who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And he said to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.” 6 And he said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. 7 “He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be my son. 8 “But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” 9 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues came to me and talked with me, saying, “Come, I will show you the bride, the Lamb’s wife.” 10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, 11 having the glory of God. And her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal. 12 Also she had a great and high wall with twelve

I ja sam vidio novo nebo i novu zemlju. jer su proæli prvo nebo i prva zemlja, a i mora viæe nije bilo. 2 Tada ja, Ivan, vidio sam Sveti grad, Novi Jeruzalem, gdje silazi s neba od Boga, pripravljen kao zaruçnica koja je ukraæena za svojega muœa. 3 I çuo sam gromki glas æto je dolazio s neba govoreøi: “Evo æatora Boœjega meåu ljudima, I On øe boraviti s njima, i oni øe biti njegov narod, i sam Bog øe biti s njima i biti njihov Bog. 4 I Bog øe otrti svaku suzu s njihovih oçiju; neøe viæe biti smrti, ni tuge, ni plaøa; i neøe viæe biti boli, jer ono prvo je proælo.” 5 Tada mi onaj koji sjedi na prijestolju rekao: “Evo, Ja sve çinim novo.” I On mi rekao: “Napiæi: Jer ove su rijeçi vjerne i istinite!” 6 On mi rekao: “Svræeno je! Ja sam Alfa i Omega, Poçetak i Svræetak. Ja øu dati iz izvora vode œivota, badava, onomu koji je œedan. 7 Onaj koji pobijedi baætinit øe sve, i Ja øu biti njegov Bog, a on øe biti moj sin. 8 Ali straæljivi, nevjernici, neçisti, ubojice, bludnici, vraçari, idolopoklonici i svi laæci, oni øe dobiti svoj dio u jezeru koje gori ognjem i sumporom, a to je druga smrt.” 9 I zatim jedan od sedam anåela koji su imali sedam çaæa napunjenih sa sedam zavrænih poæasti, doåe k meni govoreøi: “Doåi da ti pokaœem zaruçnicu, œenu Janjetovu!” 10 I on me prenese u duhu na neku veliku i visoku planinu, i pokazao mi onaj veliki grad, Sveti Jeruzalem, gdje silazi s neba od Boga, 11 imajuøi slavu Boœju u sebi. Njegova svjetlost bila je kao dragi kamen, kao kamen jaspis, proziran kao kristal. 12 Imao je velike, visoke zidine s dvanaesterim vratima, a na vratima dvanaest anåela, i napi-
