1 Potom dvadeset četvrtog dana tog meseca skupiše se sinovi Izrailjevi posteći i u kostreti i posuvši se zemljom.
1 Now in the twenty-fourth day of this month the children of Israel were assembled with fasting, with sackcloth, and dirt on them.
2 I odvoji se seme Izrailjevo od svih tuđinaca, i stadoše te ispovedahu grehe svoje i bezakonja otaca svojih.
2 The offspring of Israel separated themselves from all foreigners and stood and confessed their sins and the iniquities of their fathers.
3 I stajahu na svom mestu, te im se čitaše zakon Gospoda Boga njihovog četvrt dana, a drugi četvrt ispovedahu se i poklanjahu se Gospodu Bogu svom.
3 They stood up in their place, and read in the book of the law of Yahweh their God a fourth part of the day; and a fourth part they confessed and worshiped Yahweh their God.
4 A Isus i Vanije, Kadmilo, Sevanija, Vunije, Serevija, Vanije i Hananije popevši se na mesto podignuto za Levite vapijahu glasom velikim ka Gospodu Bogu svom.
4 Then Jeshua, Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani of the Levites stood up on the stairs, and cried with a loud voice to Yahweh their God.
5 I rekoše Leviti Isus i Kadmilo, Vanije, Asavnija, Serevija, Odija, Sevanija i Petaja: Ustanite, blagosiljajte Gospoda Boga svog od veka do veka; i da se blagosilja ime Tvoje slavno i uzvišeno svrh svakog blagoslova i hvale.
5 Then the Levites, Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah, said, “Stand up and bless Yahweh your God from everlasting to everlasting! Blessed be your glorious name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise!
6 Ti si sam Gospod; Ti si stvorio nebo, nebesa nad nebesima i svu vojsku njihovu, zemlju i sve što je na njoj, mora i sve što je u njima, i Ti oživljavaš sve to, i vojska nebeska Tebi se klanja.
6 You are Yahweh, even you alone. You have made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their army, the earth and all things that are on it, the seas and all that is in them, and you preserve them all. The army of heaven worships you.
7 Ti si Gospod Bog, koji si izabrao Avrama i izveo iz Ura haldejskog i nadeo mu ime Avraam;
7 You are Yahweh, the God who chose Abram, brought him out of Ur of the Chaldees, gave him the name of Abraham,
8 i našao si srce njegovo verno pred sobom, i učinio si s njim zavet da ćeš dati zemlju hanansku, hetejsku, amorejsku, ferezejsku i jevusejsku i gergesejsku, da ćeš dati semenu njegovom, i ispunio si reči svoje jer si pravedan.
8 found his heart faithful before you, and made a covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Jebusite, and the Girgashite, to give it to his offspring, and have performed your words, for you are righteous.
9 Jer si pogledao na muku otaca naših u Misiru, i viku njihovu video si na moru crvenom;
9 “You saw the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and heard their cry by the Red Sea,
10 i učinio si znake i čudesa na Faraonu i na svim slugama njegovim i na svem narodu zemlje njegove, jer si znao da su obesno postupali s njima; i stekao si sebi ime, kao što se vidi danas.
10 and showed signs and wonders against Pharaoh, against all his servants, and against all the people of his land, for you knew that they dealt proudly against them, and made a name for yourself, as it is today.
11 I more si razdvojio pred njima, te pređoše posred mora suvim, i bacio si u dubine one koji ih gonjahu kao kamen u vodu.
11 You divided the sea before them, so that they went through the middle of the sea on the dry land; and you cast their pursuers into the depths, as a stone into the mighty waters.
12 I u stupu od oblaka vodio si ih danju, a noću u stupu ognjenom svetleći im putem kojim će ići.
12 Moreover, in a pillar of cloud you led them by day; and in a pillar of fire by night, to give them light in the way in which they should go.
13 I sišao si na goru sinajsku i govorio s njima s neba, i dao im sudove prave i zakone istinite, uredbe i zapovesti dobre.
13 “You also came down on Mount Sinai, and spoke with them from heaven, and gave them right ordinances and true laws, good statutes and commandments,
14 I obznanio si im subotu svoju svetu, i dao im zapovesti i uredbe i zakon preko Mojsija, sluge svog.
14 and made known to them your holy Sabbath, and commanded them commandments, statutes, and a law, by Moses your servant,
15 I hleb s neba dao si im u gladi njihovoj, i vodu iz kamena izveo si im u žeđi njihovoj, i rekao si im da idu i naslede zemlju za koju si podigao ruku svoju da ćeš im je dati.
15 and gave them bread from the sky for their hunger, and brought water out of the rock for them for their thirst, and commanded them that they should go in to possess the land which you had sworn to give them.
16 Ali oni i oci naši uzobestiše se i otvrdnuše vratom svojim i ne slušaše zapovesti Tvoje.
16 “But they and our fathers behaved proudly, hardened their neck, didn’t listen to your commandments,
17 Ne hteše slušati, i ne opominjaše se čudesa Tvojih koja si im činio, nego otvrdnuše vratom svojim, i u odmetu svom postavljaše sebi vođe da se vrate u ropstvo svoje. Ali Ti, Bože, koji opraštaš koji si žalostiv i milostiv, koji dugo trpiš i velike si milosti, nisi ih ostavio.
17 and refused to obey. They weren’t mindful of your wonders that you did among them, but hardened their neck, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage. But you are a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and didn’t forsake them.
18 I onda kad načiniše sebi tele liveno i rekoše: Ovo je tvoj Bog koji te je izveo iz Misira, i huliše veoma,
18 Yes, when they had made themselves a molded calf, and said, ‘This is your God who brought you up out of Egypt,’ and had committed awful blasphemies,
19 ni onda ih radi velike milosti svoje nisi ostavio u pustinji; stup od oblaka nije odstupao od njih danju vodeći ih putem, niti stup ognjeni noću svetleći im putem kojim će ići.
19 yet you in your manifold mercies didn’t forsake them in the wilderness. The pillar of cloud didn’t depart from over them by day, to lead them in the way; neither did the pillar of fire by night, to show them light, and the way in which they should go.
20 I dao si im dobri svoj duh da ih urazumljuje, i mane svoje nisi ustegao od usta njihovih, i vode si im dao u žeđi njihovoj.
20 You gave also your good Spirit to instruct them, and didn’t withhold your manna from their mouth, and gave them water for their thirst.
21 I četrdeset godina hranio si ih u pustinji, ništa im nije nedostajalo: odelo im ne ovetša i noge im ne otekoše.
21 “Yes, forty years you sustained them in the wilderness. They lacked nothing. Their clothes didn’t grow old, and their feet didn’t swell.
22 I dao si im carstva i narode, i podelio si ih po krajevima, jer naslediše zemlju Sionovu, zemlju cara esevonskog, i zemlju cara vasanskog;
22 Moreover you gave them kingdoms and peoples, which you allotted according to their portions. So they possessed the land of Sihon, even the land of the king of Heshbon, and the land of Og king of Bashan.
23 i umnožio si sinove njihove kao zvezde nebeske, i uveo si ih u zemlju za koju si rekao ocima njihovim da će ući u nju i naslediti je.
23 You also multiplied their children as the stars of the sky, and brought them into the land concerning which you said to their fathers that they should go in to possess it.
24 I uđoše sinovi njihovi i naslediše zemlju, i pokorio si im Hananeje, stanovnike zemaljske i predao ih u njihove ruke, i careve njihove i narode zemaljske, da čine od njih šta im je volja.
24 “So the children went in and possessed the land; and you subdued before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, and gave them into their hands, with their kings and the peoples of the land, that they might do with them as they pleased.
25 I tako uzeše tvrde gradove i zemlju rodnu, i naslediše kuće pune svakog dobra, studence iskopane, vinograde, maslinike i voćke mnoge, i jedoše i nasitiše se i ugojiše se, i blagovahu po velikoj Tvojoj dobroti.
25 They took fortified cities and a rich land, and possessed houses full of all good things, cisterns dug out, vineyards, olive groves, and fruit trees in abundance. So they ate, were filled, became fat, and delighted themselves in your great goodness.
26 Ali Te razgneviše i odmetnuše se od Tebe: baciše zakon Tvoj za leđa i proroke Tvoje pobiše, koji im svedočahu da bi ih obratili ka Tebi i huliše veoma.
26 “Nevertheless they were disobedient and rebelled against you, cast your law behind their back, killed your prophets that testified against them to turn them again to you, and they committed awful blasphemies.
27 Zato si ih davao u ruke neprijateljima njihovim koji ih mučaše. A kad u nevolji svojoj vikaše k Tebi Ti si ih uslišio s neba i po velikoj milosti svojoj davao si im izbavitelje, koji ih izbavljahu iz ruku neprijatelja njihovih.
27 Therefore you delivered them into the hand of their adversaries, who distressed them. In the time of their trouble, when they cried to you, you heard from heaven; and according to your manifold mercies you gave them saviors who saved them out of the hands of their adversaries.
28 Ali čim otpočinuše, opet činiše zlo pred Tobom, zato si ih ostavljao u rukama neprijatelja njihovih da vladaju njima; a kad se obraćaše i vikaše k Tebi, Ti si ih uslišio s neba i izbavljao ih po milosti svojoj mnogo puta.
28 But after they had rest, they did evil again before you; therefore you left them in the hands of their enemies, so that they had the dominion over them; yet when they returned and cried to you, you heard from heaven; and many times you delivered them according to your mercies,
29 I opominjao si ih da bi ih obratio k zakonu svom, ali oni behu obesni i ne slušaše zapovesti Tvoje i grešiše o Tvoje zakone koje ko vrši živ će biti kroz njih; i izmičući ramena svoja otvrdnuše vratom svojim i ne slušaše.
29 and testified against them, that you might bring them again to your law. Yet they were arrogant, and didn’t listen to your commandments, but sinned against your ordinances (which if a man does, he shall live in them), turned their backs, stiffened their neck, and would not hear.
30 I trpeo si ih mnogo godina opominjući ih duhom svojim preko proroka svojih; ali ne slušaše; tada si ih dao u ruke narodima zemaljskim.
30 Yet many years you put up with them, and testified against them by your Spirit through your prophets. Yet they would not listen. Therefore you gave them into the hand of the peoples of the lands.
31 Ali radi milosti svoje velike nisi dao da sasvim propadnu niti si ih ostavio, jer si Bog milostiv i žalostiv.
31 “Nevertheless in your manifold mercies you didn’t make a full end of them, nor forsake them; for you are a gracious and merciful God.
32 Sada dakle, Bože naš, Bože veliki, silni i strašni, koji čuvaš zavet i milost, nemoj da je malo pred Tobom što nas snađe sva ova muka, careve naše, knezove i sveštenike naše i proroke naše i oce naše i sav narod Tvoj od vremena careva asirskih do danas.
32 Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who keeps covenant and loving kindness, don’t let all the travail seem little before you that has come on us, on our kings, on our princes, on our priests, on our prophets, on our fathers, and on all your people, since the time of the kings of Assyria to this day.
33 Ti si pravedan u svemu što nas je snašlo, jer si Ti pravo učinio, a mi smo bezbožno radili.
33 However you are just in all that has come on us; for you have dealt truly, but we have done wickedly.
34 I carevi naši, knezovi naši i oci naši ne izvršavaše zakon Tvoj niti mariše za zapovesti Tvoje i svedočanstva Tvoja, kojima si im svedočio.
34 Also our kings, our princes, our priests, and our fathers have not kept your law, nor listened to your commandments and your testimonies with which you testified against them.
35 Jer u carstvu svom i u velikom dobru Tvom koje si im činio, i u zemlji prostranoj i rodnoj koju si im dao, ne služiše Tebi niti se povratiše od zlih dela svojih.
35 For they have not served you in their kingdom, and in your great goodness that you gave them, and in the large and rich land which you gave before them. They didn’t turn from their wicked works.
36 Evo, mi smo danas robovi; i još u zemlji, koju si dao ocima našim da jedu rod njen i dobra njena, evo mi smo robovi u njoj.
36 “Behold, we are servants today, and as for the land that you gave to our fathers to eat its fruit and its good, behold, we are servants in it.
37 I ona rod svoj obilati rađa carevima koje si postavio nad nama za grehe naše, i koji gospodare nad našim telima i nad stokom našom po svojoj volji, te smo u velikoj teskobi.
37 It yields much increase to the kings whom you have set over us because of our sins. Also they have power over our bodies and over our livestock, at their pleasure, and we are in great distress.
38 A radi svega toga činimo tvrd zavet i pišemo, a knezovi naši, Leviti naši, sveštenici naši pečate.
38 Yet for all this, we make a sure covenant, and write it; and our princes, our Levites, and our priests, seal it.”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
And Ezra says, Thou gavest also Thy good Spirit to instruct them.
