1 A kad čuše neprijatelji Judini i Venijaminovi da oni koji se vratiše iz ropstva zidaju crkvu Gospodu Bogu Izrailjevom,
1 Now when the adversaries of Judah and Benjamin heard that the children of the captivity were building a temple to Yahweh, the God of Israel,
2 dođoše k Zorovavelju i ka glavarima domova otačkih, i rekoše im: Da i mi zidamo s vama, jer ćemo kao i vi tražiti Boga vašeg, i Njemu prinosimo žrtve od vremena Esaradona, cara asirskog, koji nas je doveo ovamo.
2 they came near to Zerubbabel, and to the heads of fathers’ households, and said to them, “Let us build with you, for we seek your God as you do; and we have been sacrificing to him since the days of Esar Haddon king of Assyria, who brought us up here.”
3 A Zorovavelj i Isus i ostali glavari domova otačkih u Izrailju rekoše im: Ne možete vi s nama zidati dom Bogu našem, nego ćemo mi sami zidati Gospodu Bogu Izrailjevom, kako nam je zapovedio Kir, car persijski.
3 But Zerubbabel, Jeshua, and the rest of the heads of fathers’ households of Israel said to them, “You have nothing to do with us in building a house to our God; but we ourselves together will build to Yahweh, the God of Israel, as King Cyrus the king of Persia has commanded us.”
4 Tada narod zemaljski dosađivaše narodu Judinom i smetaše ih u zidanju;
4 Then the people of the land weakened the hands of the people of Judah, and troubled them in building.
5 i naimahu savetnike suprot njima da rasipaju nameru njihovu svega vremena Kira, cara persijskog, do vlade Darija, cara persijskog.
5 They 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 A kad se zacari Asvir, u početku njegovog carovanja napisaše tužbu na stanovnike judejske i jerusalimske.
6 In the reign of Ahasuerus, in the beginning of his reign, they wrote an accusation against the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem.
7 I za vremena Artakserksovog pisa Vislam, Mitredat, Taveilo i ostali drugovi njegovi Artakserksu caru persijskom; a knjiga beše pisana sirskim pismom i sirskim jezikom.
7 In the days of Artaxerxes, Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabeel, and the rest of his companions wrote to Artaxerxes king of Persia; and the writing of the letter was written in Syrian and delivered in the Syrian language.
8 Reum starešina u veću i Simsaj pisar napisaše jednu knjigu protiv Jerusalima caru Artakserksu ovako:
8 Rehum the chancellor and Shimshai the scribe wrote a letter against Jerusalem to Artaxerxes the king as follows.
9 Reum starešina u veću i Simsaj pisar i ostali drugovi njihovi, Dinjani, Afarsašani, Tarfaljani, Afaršani, Arhevljani, Vavilonjani, Susanašani, Deavljani, Elamljani,
9 Then Rehum the chancellor, Shimshai the scribe, and the rest of their companions, the Dinaites, and the Apharsathchites, the Tarpelites, the Apharsites, the Archevites, the Babylonians, the Shushanchites, the Dehaites, the Elamites,
10 i ostali narod koji preseli veliki i slavni Asenafar i naseli po gradovima samarijskim, i ostali s ove strane reke, tada i tada.
10 and the rest of the nations whom the great and noble Osnappar brought over and settled in the city of Samaria, and in the rest of the country beyond the River, and so forth, wrote.
11 Ovo je prepis od knjige koju mu poslaše: Caru Artakserksu. Sluge tvoje, ljudi s ove strane reke, tada i tada.
11 This is the copy of the letter that they sent: To King Artaxerxes, from your servants, the people beyond the River.
12 Da je na znanje caru da Judejci koji pođoše od tebe k nama, dođoše u Jerusalim, i grad odmetnički i opaki zidaju, zidove opravljaju i iz temelja podižu.
12 Be it known to the king that the Jews who came up from you have come to us to Jerusalem. They are building the rebellious and bad city, and have finished the walls and repaired the foundations.
13 Nego da je na znanje caru: ako se ovaj grad sazida i zidovi oprave, oni neće davati danka ni poreze ni carine, te će biti šteta riznici carskoj.
13 Be it known now to the king that if this city is built and the walls finished, they will not pay tribute, custom, or toll, and in the end it will be hurtful to the kings.
14 Što dakle platu od dvora primamo, te nam ne priliči da gledamo štetu carevu, toga radi šaljemo i javljamo caru,
14 Now because we eat the salt of the palace and it is not appropriate for us to see the king’s dishonor, therefore we have sent and informed the king,
15 da se potraži u knjizi dnevnika otaca tvojih, pa ćeš naći u knjizi dnevnika i doznati da je ovaj grad odmetnički i da je na štetu carevima i zemljama i da su se u njemu dizale bune od davnina, te zato bi raskopan ovaj grad.
15 that search may be made in the book of the records of your fathers. You will see in the book of the records, and know that this city is a rebellious city, and hurtful to kings and provinces, and that they have started rebellions within it in the past. That is why this city was destroyed.
16 Dajemo na znanje caru: ako se ovaj grad sazida i zidovi se njegovi oprave, onda ovaj deo preko reke neće više biti tvoj.
16 We inform the king that if this city is built and the walls finished, then you will have no possession beyond the River.
17 Tada car posla odgovor Reumu, starešini u veću i Simsaju pisaru i ostalim drugovima njihovim koji seđahu u Samariji i ostalim s one strane reke: Pozdravlje, tada i tada.
17 Then the king sent an answer to Rehum the chancellor, and to Shimshai the scribe, and to the rest of their companions who live in Samaria, and in the rest of the country beyond the River: Peace.
18 Knjiga koju nam poslaste razgovetno bi pročitana preda mnom.
18 The letter which you sent to us has been plainly read before me.
19 I zapovedih te potražiše i nađoše da je taj grad od davnina ustajao na careve i da su u njemu bivali odmeti i bune,
19 I decreed, and search has been made, and it was found that this city has made insurrection against kings in the past, and that rebellion and revolts have been made in it.
20 i da su silni carevi bivali u Jerusalimu, koji vladahu svim što je preko reke, i davahu im se danci i poreze i carine.
20 There have also been mighty kings over Jerusalem who have ruled over all the country beyond the River; and tribute, custom, and toll was paid to them.
21 Zato naredite da se zabrani onim ljudima da se onaj grad ne zida dokle ja ne zapovedim.
21 Make a decree now to cause these men to cease, and that this city not be built until a decree is made by me.
22 I pazite da ne pogrešite u tom. Jer zašto bi zlo raslo na štetu carevima?
22 Be careful that you not be slack doing so. Why should damage grow to the hurt of the kings?
23 A kad se prepis od knjige cara Artakserksa pročita pred Reumom i Simsajem pisarem i pred drugovima njihovim, oni brže otidoše u Jerusalim k Judejcima, te im zabraniše oružanom silom.
23 Then when the copy of King Artaxerxes’ letter was read before Rehum, Shimshai the scribe, and their companions, they went in haste to Jerusalem to the Jews, and made them to cease by force of arms.
24 Tada stade posao oko doma Božijeg u Jerusalimu, i staja do druge godine carovanja Darija, cara persijskog.
24 Then work stopped on God’s house which is at Jerusalem. It stopped until the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia.
