1 A meseca Nisana godine dvadesete Artakserksa cara beše vino pred njim, i ja uzevši vino dadoh ga caru. A pre ne bejah neveseo pred njim.
1 In the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king, when wine was before him, I picked up the wine, and gave it to the king. Now I had not been sad before in his presence.
2 I reče mi car: Što si lica neveselog, kad nisi bolestan? Nije drugo nego tuga u srcu. A ja se uplaših vrlo.
2 The king said to me, “Why is your face sad, since you are not sick? This is nothing else but sorrow of heart.” Then I was very much afraid.
3 I rekoh caru: Da je živ car do veka! Kako ne bih bio lica neveselog, kad je grad gde su grobovi mojih otaca opusteo i vrata mu ognjem spaljena?
3 I said to the king, “Let the king live forever! Why shouldn’t my face be sad, when the city, the place of my fathers’ tombs, lies waste, and its gates have been consumed with fire?”
4 A car mi reče: Šta hoćeš? Tada se pomolih Bogu nebeskom,
4 Then the king said to me, “What is your request?” So I prayed to the God of heaven.
5 i rekoh caru: Ako je ugodno caru i ako ti je mio sluga tvoj, pošlji me u Judeju u grad gde su grobovi otaca mojih da ga sagradim.
5 I said to the king, “If it pleases the king, and if your servant has found favor in your sight, I ask that you would send me to Judah, to the city of my fathers’ tombs, that I may build it.”
6 A car mi reče, a žena njegova seđaše do njega: Koliko ti vremena treba na put, i kad ćeš se vratiti? I bi ugodno caru, i pusti me kad mu kazah vreme.
6 The king said to me (the queen was also sitting by him), “How long will your journey be? When will you return?” So it pleased the king to send me, and I set a time for him.
7 Potom rekoh caru: Ako je ugodno caru, da mi se da knjiga na knezove preko reke da me prate dokle ne dođem u Judeju,
7 Moreover I said to the king, “If it pleases the king, let letters be given me to the governors beyond the River, that they may let me pass through until I come to Judah;
8 i knjiga na Asafa, čuvara šume careve da mi da drva za brvna na vrata od dvora uz dom Božji i za zid gradski i za kuću u koju ću ući. I dade mi car, jer dobra ruka Boga mog beše nada mnom.
8 and a letter to Asaph the keeper of the king’s forest, that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of the citadel by the temple, for the wall of the city, and for the house that I will occupy.” The king granted my requests, because of the good hand of my God on me.
9 I tako dođoh sa knezovima preko reke, i dadoh im knjige careve. A car posla sa mnom vojvode i konjike.
9 Then I came to the governors beyond the River, and gave them the king’s letters. Now the king had sent captains of the army and horsemen with me.
10 A kad to ču Sanavalat Oronjanin i Tovija, sluga Amonac, bi im vrlo mrsko što dođe čovek da se postara za dobro sinovima Izrailjevim.
10 When Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah the Ammonite servant heard of it, it grieved them exceedingly, because a man had come to seek the welfare of the children of Israel.
11 Potom dođoh u Jerusalim, i bih onde tri dana.
11 So I came to Jerusalem, and was there three days.
12 Pa ustah noću s nekoliko ljudi, a nikom ne kazah šta mi je Bog moj dao u srce da učinim u Jerusalimu; i ne imah kljuseta sa sobom osim onog na kome jahah.
12 I arose in the night, I and a few men with me. I didn’t tell anyone what my God put into my heart to do for Jerusalem. There wasn’t any animal with me except the animal that I rode on.
13 I iziđoh noću na vrata od doline, na izvor zmajevski, i na vrata gnojna, i razgledah zidove jerusalimske kako behu razvaljeni i kako mu vrata behu ognjem popaljena.
13 I went out by night by the valley gate toward the jackal’s well, then to the dung gate; and I inspected the walls of Jerusalem, which were broken down, and its gates were consumed with fire.
14 Otuda prođoh na izvorska vrata i na carsko jezero, a onde ne beše mesta da kljuse poda mnom pređe.
14 Then I went on to the spring gate and to the king’s pool, but there was no place for the animal that was under me to pass.
15 Zato jahah uz potok po noći i razgledah zid, pa se vratih na vrata od doline, i tako dođoh natrag.
15 Then I went up in the night by the brook and inspected the wall; and I turned back, and entered by the valley gate, and so returned.
16 Ali poglavari ne znahu kuda sam išao ni šta sam radio, jer dotada ne bejah ništa rekao ni Judejcima ni sveštenicima ni knezovima ni poglavarima ni drugima koji upravljahu poslom.
16 The rulers didn’t know where I went, or what I did. I had not as yet told it to the Jews, nor to the priests, nor to the nobles, nor to the rulers, nor to the rest who did the work.
17 Zato im rekoh: Vidite u kakvom smo zlu, Jerusalim pust i vrata mu popaljena ognjem; dajte da zidamo zidove jerusalimske, da više ne budemo rug.
17 Then I said to them, “You see the bad situation that we are in, how Jerusalem lies waste, and its gates are burned with fire. Come, let’s build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we won’t be disgraced.”
18 I kazah im kako je dobra ruka Boga mog nada mnom i reči careve koje mi je rekao. Tada rekoše: Ustanimo i zidajmo. I ukrepiše im se ruke na dobro.
18 I told them about the hand of my God which was good on me, and also about the king’s words that he had spoken to me. They said, “Let’s rise up and build.” So they strengthened their hands for the good work.
19 A kad to ču Sanavalat Oronjanin i Tovija, sluga Amonac i Gisem Arapin, podsmevaše nam se i rugaše nam se govoreći: Šta to radite? Da se nećete odmetnuti caru?
19 But when Sanballat the Horonite, Tobiah the Ammonite servant, and Geshem the Arabian, heard it, they ridiculed us and despised us, and said, “What is this thing that you are doing? Will you rebel against the king?”
20 A ja im odgovorih i rekoh: Bog nebeski daće nam sreću, a mi, sluge Njegove ustasmo i zidamo; ali vi nemate dela ni prava ni spomena u Jerusalimu.
20 Then I answered them, and said to them, “The God of heaven will prosper us. Therefore we, his servants, will arise and build; but you have no portion, nor right, nor memorial in Jerusalem.”
