Nehemija

Nehemija 1

1:1	Besede Nehemije, Hakalijev sin. In zgodilo se je to, v mesecu Chislev, v dvajsetem letu, Bil sem v glavnem mestu Susa.
1:2	In Hanani, eden od mojih bratov, prispel, on in nekateri možje iz Juda. In spraševal sem jih o Judih, ki so ostali in ostali iz ujetništva, in o Jeruzalemu.
1:3	In rekli so mi: »Tisti, ki so ostali in ostali iz ujetništva, tam v provinci, so v veliki stiski in v sramoti. In zid Jeruzalema je bil razbit, in njegova vrata so bila požgana z ognjem.
1:4	In ko sem slišal te besede, sem se usedla, in jokal sem in žaloval mnogo dni. Postil sem se in molil pred obličjem nebeškega Boga.
1:5	In rekel sem: "Prosim te, O Gospod, Bog nebes, močan, Super, in grozno, ki ohranjaš zavezo in usmiljenje s tistimi, ki te ljubijo in izpolnjujejo tvoje zapovedi:
1:6	naj bodo vaša ušesa pozorna, in naj bodo tvoje oči odprte, da boš uslišal molitev svojega služabnika, ki ga danes molim pred teboj, noč in dan, za Izraelove sinove, vaši služabniki. In priznavam grehe Izraelovih sinov, ki so se ti pregrešili. Grešili smo, Jaz in očetova hiša.
1:7	Zapeljala nas je nečimrnost. In nismo se držali tvojih zapovedi, obredov in sodb, ki si jih naročil svojemu služabniku Mojzesu.
1:8	Spomni se besede, ki si jo zapovedal svojemu služabniku Mojzesu, govoriti: "Ko se boste pregrešili, Razkropil te bom med narode.
1:9	Ampak, če se vrnete k meni, in drži moje zapovedi, in jih naredi, tudi če vas bodo odpeljali v najbolj oddaljene meje nebes, Od tam vas bom zbral, in odpeljal te bom nazaj na kraj, ki sem ga izbral, da bo tam prebivalo moje ime.«
1:10	In ti isti so tvoji služabniki in tvoje ljudstvo, ki si ga rešil s svojo veliko močjo in s svojo močno roko.
1:11	prosim te, O Gospod, naj bo tvoje uho pozorno na molitev tvojega služabnika, in na molitev tvojih služabnikov, ki so se pripravljeni bati tvojega imena. In tako, vodi svojega služabnika danes, in daj mu milost pred tem človekom. Kajti jaz sem bil kraljev pokalnik.

Nehemija 2

2:1	Zdaj se je zgodilo, da, v mesecu nisanu, v dvajsetem letu kralja Artakserksa, vino je bilo pred njim; in dvignil sem vino, in dal sem ga kralju. In bil sem kot nekdo, ki omahne pred njegovim obrazom.
2:2	In kralj mi je rekel: »Zakaj je tvoj izraz žalosten, čeprav se ne zdi, da ste bolni? To ni brez razloga, ampak nekaj zla, ne vem kaj, je v tvojem srcu.” In prevzel me je izjemno velik strah.
2:3	In rekel sem kralju: »O kralj, živeti večno. Zakaj ne bi bil moj izraz žalosten, ker je mesto hiše grobov mojega očeta opustošeno, in njegova vrata so bila požgana z ognjem?”
2:4	In kralj mi je rekel: »Kaj bi zahteval?” In molil sem k nebeškemu Bogu.
2:5	In rekel sem kralju: »Če se kralju zdi dobro, in če je tvoj služabnik všeč pred tvojim obrazom: da me boš poslal v Judejo, v mesto grobnice mojega očeta. In obnovil ga bom.”
2:6	In kralj mi je rekel, s kraljico, ki je sedela poleg njega: »Do kdaj bo trajalo vaše potovanje, in kdaj se vrneš?« In bilo je prijetno pred kraljevim obrazom, in tako me je poslal. In določil sem čas zanj.
2:7	In rekel sem kralju: »Če se kralju zdi dobro, naj mi da pisma guvernerjem onkraj reke, da me lahko vodijo skozi, dokler ne pridem v Judejo,
2:8	in pismo Asafu, čuvaj kraljevega gozda, da mi da les, da bi mogel pokriti vrata hišnega stolpa, in obzidje mesta, in hišo, v katero bom vstopil." In kralj mi je dal po dobri roki mojega Boga, ki je z menoj.
2:9	In šel sem k guvernerjem regije onkraj reke, in dal sem jim kraljeva pisma. Zdaj je kralj poslal z menoj vojskovodje in konjenike.
2:10	In Sanballat, Horonit, in služabnik Tobija, amonit, slišal to. In bili so žalostni, z veliko stisko, da je prišel človek, ki si je prizadeval za blaginjo Izraelovih sinov.
2:11	In prišel sem v Jeruzalem, in tam sem bil tri dni.
2:12	In ponoči sem vstal, Jaz in nekaj moških z menoj. In nikomur nisem razodel, kaj mi je Bog položil v srce, naj naredim v Jeruzalemu. In nobene živali ni bilo z menoj, razen živali, na kateri sem sedel.
2:13	In odšel sem ponoči skozi vrata doline, in pred vodnjakom zmaja, in proti gnojnim vratom. In razmišljal sem o zidu Jeruzalema, ki je bil razbit, in njegova vrata, ki jih je požrl ogenj.
2:14	In nadaljeval sem do vrat fontane, in do kraljevega akvadukta. In ni bilo prostora, da bi zver, na kateri sem sedel, šla skozi.
2:15	In tako sem se ponoči povzpel po hudourniku, in razmišljal sem o steni. In obračanje nazaj, Šel sem skozi vrata doline, in sem se vrnil.
2:16	Zdaj sodniki niso vedeli, kam sem šel, ali kaj sem naredil. Kajti ničesar nisem razkril, celo do te točke v času, do Judov, ali duhovnikom, ali plemičem, ali sodnikom, ali drugim, ki so opravljali delo.
2:17	In tako sem jim rekel: »Veste, v kakšni stiski smo, ker je Jeruzalem opustošen, in njegova vrata je požrl ogenj. pridi, in obnovimo jeruzalemsko obzidje, in ne bodimo več v sramoto.«
2:18	In razodel sem jim, kako je bila roka mojega Boga vedno z mano, in besede kralja, ki mi jih je govoril. In rekel sem: »Vstanimo, in graditi." In njihove roke so bile okrepljene za vedno.
2:19	Ampak Sanballat, Horonit, in služabnik Tobija, amonit, in Geshem, arabec, slišal za to. Pa so nas zasmehovali in zaničevali, in so rekli: »Kaj je to, kar počneš? Ali se morda upiraš kralju??”
2:20	In odgovoril sem jim z besedo, in sem jim rekel: »Sam nebeški Bog nam pomaga, in mi smo njegovi služabniki. Vstanimo in gradimo. Ampak ni porcije, ali pravičnost, ali spomin v Jeruzalemu za vas.

Nehemija 4

4:1	Zdaj se je zgodilo, da, ko je Sanbalat slišal, da gradimo zid, bil je zelo jezen. In bil nadvse ganjen, je zasmehoval Jude.
4:2	In rekel je, pred svojimi brati in množico Samarijanov: »Kaj počnejo neumni Judje? Ali je mogoče, da jim bodo pogani dovolili? Ali se bodo žrtvovali in končali v enem dnevu? Ali imajo sposobnost narediti kamne iz kupov prahu, ki so bili zgoreli?”
4:3	Potem tudi, Tobiah, amonit, njegov pomočnik, rekel: »Naj gradijo. Ko lisica pleza, preskočil bo njihov kamniti zid.”
4:4	poslušaj, O naš Bog, saj smo postali predmet prezira. Obrnite njihovo sramotenje na lastno glavo, in daj, da bodo zaničevani v deželi ujetništva.
4:5	Ne skrivaj njihove krivice, in naj njihov greh ne bo izbrisan, pred tvojim obrazom, saj so zasmehovali tiste, ki gradijo.
4:6	In tako smo zgradili zid, in sva se združila, celo do nedokončanega dela. In srce ljudi se je vzpodbudilo za delo.
4:7	Zdaj se je zgodilo, da, ko Sanbalat, in Tobiah, in Arabci, in Amonci, in Ašdodijci so slišali, da je bilo Jeruzalemsko obzidje zaprto, in da so se kršitve začele popravljati, bili so silno jezni.
4:8	In vsi so se zbrali skupaj, da bi šli naprej in se bojevali proti Jeruzalemu, in da bi lahko pripravili zasede.
4:9	In molili smo k našemu Bogu, in na obzidje smo postavili stražarje, dan in noč, proti njim.
4:10	Nato je Judah rekel: »Moč tistih, ki nosijo, se je zmanjšala, in količina materiala je zelo velika, in tako ne bomo mogli zgraditi zidu."
4:11	In naši sovražniki so rekli: »Naj tudi oni ne vedo, niti zavedati, dokler ne pridemo v njihovo sredino, in jih ubiti, in povzroči, da delo preneha.«
4:12	Zdaj se je zgodilo, da, ob desetih priložnostih, prišlo je nekaj Judov, ki so živeli blizu njih, iz vseh krajev, od koder so prišli k nam, in to so nam povedali.
4:13	Tako sem ljudi razporedil po vrstnem redu, na mestih za steno, vse okoli njega, s svojimi meči, in sulice, in loki.
4:14	In pogledal sem okoli, in sem vstal. In rekel sem plemičem, in sodnikom, in ostalim navadnim ljudem: »Ne boj se pred njihovim obrazom. Spomni se velikega in strašnega Gospoda, in se bori v imenu svojih bratov, vaši sinovi in ​​vaše hčere, in vaše žene in vaša gospodinjstva.«
4:15	Potem se je zgodilo, da, ko so naši sovražniki slišali, da so nam to sporočili, Bog je premagal njihov nasvet. In vsi smo se vrnili k obzidju, vsak pri svojem delu.
4:16	In zgodilo se je to, od tistega dne, polovica njihovih mladeničev je opravljala delo, polovica pa je bila pripravljena na vojno s sulicami, in ščitniki, in loki, in oklep. In voditelji so bili za njimi v vsej Judovi hiši.
4:17	Kar se tiče tistih, ki gradijo zid, in prenašanje bremen, in postavljati stvari na svoje mesto: ena od njegovih rok je opravljala delo, drugi pa je držal meč.
4:18	Kajti vsak izmed graditeljev je bil opasan z mečem za pasom. In so gradili, in poleg mene so trobili.
4:19	In rekel sem plemičem, in sodnikom, in ostalim navadnim ljudem: »Delo je veliko in široko, in ločeni smo na steni daleč drug od drugega.
4:20	Kjerkoli slišite zvok trobente, hiti na tisto mesto za nami. Naš Bog se bo boril v našem imenu.
4:21	In tako dokončajmo delo. In naj polovica nas drži sulice, od vzpona zore do zasijanja zvezd.”
4:22	Tudi takrat, sem rekel ljudem: »Vsak s svojim služabnikom naj ostane sredi Jeruzalema. In se menjava, vso noč in dan, pri opravljanju dela."
4:23	Ampak jaz in moji bratje, in moji služabniki, in stražarji, ki so bili za mano, nismo se slekli; vsak je samo slekel svoja oblačila, da bi se opral.

Nehemija 5

5:1	In prišlo je do velikega vpitja ljudstva in njihovih žena proti njihovim bratom, Judje.
5:2	In bili so tisti, ki so govorili: »Naših sinov in naših hčera je zelo veliko. Prejmimo žito kot ceno zanje, in potem lahko jemo in živimo.«
5:3	In bili so tisti, ki so govorili: »Darimo svoje njive in vinograde, in naše hiše, in takrat bomo morda med lakoto prejeli žito.«
5:4	In drugi so govorili: »Izposodimo si denar za davek kralju, in izročimo svoja polja in vinograde.«
5:5	"In zdaj, kot je meso naših bratov, tako je naše meso; in tako kot njihovi sinovi, tako tudi naši sinovi. Glej, svoje sinove in svoje hčere smo podjarmili v suženjstvo, in nekatere naše hčere so sužnje, niti jih nimamo možnosti unovčiti, for others possess our fields and our vineyards.”
5:6	And when I had heard their outcry in these words, I was exceedingly angry.
5:7	And my heart considered within me. And I rebuked the nobles and the magistrates, in sem jim rekel, “Have you each been exacting usury from your brothers?” And I gathered together a great assembly against them.
5:8	And I said to them: “As you know, in accord with what was possible for us, we have redeemed our brothers, Judje, who had been sold to the Gentiles. And yet you now sell your brothers, and we must redeem them?” And they were silent, nor did they find anything to answer.
5:9	And I said to them: “The thing that you are doing is not good. Why are you not walking in the fear of our God, so that there may be no reproach against us from our enemies, pogani?
5:10	Both I and my brothers, with my servants, have lent money and grain to many. Let us agree not to ask for its return. Let us forgive the other money that is owed to us.
5:11	On this day, restore their fields, and their vineyards, and their olive groves, and their houses to them. Potem, preveč, the hundredth part of the money, and of the grain, wine, and oil, which you usually exact from them, give it to them.”
5:12	In so rekli: “We will restore it, and we will require nothing from them. And we will do just as you say.” And I called the priests, and I had them swear an oath, so that they would act in accord with what I had said.
5:13	Poleg tega, I shook out my lap, in rekel sem: “So may God shake out every man, who does not fulfill this word. From his house and from his labors, so may he be shaken out and become empty.” And the entire multitude said, “Amen.” And they praised God. Zato, the people acted in accord with what was said.
5:14	Now from that day, on which the king had ordered me to be governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year even to the thirty-second year of king Artaxerxes, for twelve years, I and my brothers did not eat the yearly allowance that was owed to the governors.
5:15	But the former governors, the ones who had been before me, were a burden to the people, and they took from them bread and wine, and forty shekels of money each day. And their officials also oppressed the people. But I did not do so, out of fear of God.
5:16	Pravzaprav, I preferred to build in the work of the wall, and I bought no land, and all my servants were gathered to do the work.
5:17	Prav tako, the Jews and the magistrates, one hundred and fifty men, were at my table, with those who came to us from among the Gentiles that are around us.
5:18	Now there was prepared for me, on each day, one ox and six choice rams, along with poultry. And once every ten days, I distributed diverse wines and many other things. Yet I did not require my yearly allowance as governor. For the people were greatly impoverished.
5:19	Remember me, O my God, for good, in accord with all that I have done for this people.

Nehemija 6

6:1	Zdaj se je zgodilo, da, ko Sanbalat, in Tobiah, in Geshem, arabec, and our other enemies, had heard that I had built the wall, and that there was no interruption remaining in it, (čeprav, at that time, I had not set up the double doors at the gates,)
6:2	Sanballat and Geshem sent to me, govoriti: »Pridi, and let us strike a pact together in the villages, on the plain of Ono.” But they were thinking that they would do me harm.
6:3	Zato, I sent messengers to them, govoriti: “I am doing a great work, and I cannot descend, lest perhaps it may be neglected when I go out and descend to you.”
6:4	Then they sent to me, with this same word, four times. And I responded to them with the same word as before.
6:5	And Sanballat sent his servant to me a fifth time, with the former word, and he had a letter in his hand written in this manner:
6:6	“It has been heard among the Gentiles, and Geshem has said it, that you and the Jews are planning to rebel, and because of this, you are building the wall and thinking to raise yourself as a king over them. Zaradi tega razloga,
6:7	you also have stationed prophets, who preach about you in Jerusalem, govoriti: ‘There is a king in Judea!’ But the king will hear about these words. Zato, come now, so that we may go to counsel together.”
6:8	And I sent to them, govoriti: “There has been nothing done according to these words, which you have spoken. For you are inventing these things from your own heart.”
6:9	For all these men wished to frighten us, thinking that our hands would cease from the work, and that we would cease. Zaradi tega razloga, I strengthened my hands all the more.
6:10	And I entered into the house of Shemaiah, the son of Delaiah, the son of Mehetabel, in secret. In rekel je: “Let us consult together in the house of God, in the midst of the temple. And let us close the doors of the temple. For they will come to kill you, and they will arrive in the night to put you to death.”
6:11	In rekel sem: “How could anyone like me flee? And who like me should enter the temple, so that he may live? I will not enter.”
6:12	And I understood that God had not sent him, but he had spoken to me as if he were prophesying, and that Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.
6:13	For he had accepted money, so that I would be afraid, and would sin, and so that they would have some evil with which to rebuke me.
6:14	Remember me, O Gospod, because of Tobiah and Sanballat, because of their works of this kind. Potem, preveč, Noadiah, a prophetess, and the rest of the prophets, would have made me afraid.
6:15	Now the wall was completed on the twenty-fifth day of the month of Elul, in fifty-two days.
6:16	Potem se je zgodilo, da, when all our enemies had heard of it, all the nations that were around us were afraid, and they were downcast within themselves. For they knew that this work had been accomplished by God.
6:17	But also, v teh dneh, many letters were being sent by the nobles of the Jews to Tobiah, and were arriving from Tobiah to them.
6:18	For there were many in Judea who had sworn an oath to him, because he was the son-in-law of Shecaniah, the son of Arah, and because Jehohanan, his son, had married the daughter of Meshullam, Berehijev sin.
6:19	Poleg tega, they praised him before me, and they reported my words to him. And Tobiah sent letters, so that he might make me afraid.

Nehemija 7

7:1	Potem, after the wall was built, and I set up the double doors, and I enrolled the gatekeepers, and the singing men, and the Levites,
7:2	I instructed Hanani, moj brat, and Hananiah, the leader of the house of Jerusalem, (for he seemed to be a truthful man, fearing God more than the others,)
7:3	in sem jim rekel: “Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun is hot.” And while they were standing there, the gates were closed and barred. And I stationed guards from the inhabitants of Jerusalem, each one in his turn, and each one opposite his own house.
7:4	Now the city was great and very wide, and the people in its midst were few, and the houses were not yet built.
7:5	But God had given to my heart, and I gathered the nobles, in sodniki, and the common people, so that I might enroll them. And I found a book of the census of those who first went up, and in it there was found written:
7:6	These are the sons of the province, who ascended from the captivity of the transmigration, those whom Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, had taken away, and who returned into Jerusalem and Judea, each one to his own city.
7:7	They arrived with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemija, Azarija, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, Baanah. The number of the men of the people of Israel:

Nehemija 8

8:1	And the seventh month had arrived. Now the sons of Israel were in their cities. And all the people were gathered together, like one man, in the street which is before the water gate. And they spoke to Ezra the scribe, so that he would bring the book of the law of Moses, which the Lord had instructed to Israel.
8:2	Zato, Ezra the priest brought the law before the multitude of men and women, and all those who were able to understand, on the first day of the seventh month.
8:3	And he read it openly in the street which was before the water gate, from morning even until midday, in the sight of the men and women, and those who understood. And the ears of all the people were attentive to the book.
8:4	Then Ezra the scribe stood upon a step of wood, which he had made for speaking. And standing beside him were Mattithiah, and Shemaiah, and Anaiah, and Uriah, and Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, na njegovi desni. And on the left were Pedaiah, Mishael, and Malchijah, and Hashum, and Hashbaddanah, Zaharija, in Mešulam.

8:9	Then Nehemiah (the same is the cupbearer) and Ezra, the priest and scribe, and the Levites, who were interpreting for all the people, rekel: “This day has been sanctified to the Lord our God. Do not mourn, and do not weep.” For all of the people were weeping, as they were listening to the words of the law.
8:10	In rekel jim je: »Pojdi, eat fat foods and drink sweet drinks, and send portions to those who have not prepared for themselves. For it is the holy day of the Lord. And do not be sad. For the joy of the Lord is also our strength.”

9:1	Potem, on the twenty-fourth day of the same month, the sons of Israel came together in fasting and in sackcloth, and with soil upon them.
9:2	And the offspring of the sons of Israel were separated from all the sons of foreigners. And they stood up, and they confessed their sins and the iniquities of their fathers.
9:3	And they arose to stand. And they read in the volume of the law of the Lord their God, four times in the day, and four times they confessed. And they adored the Lord their God.
9:4	Potem, upon the step of the Levites, Jeshua, and Bani, and Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani rose up. And they cried out in a great voice to the Lord their God.
9:5	And the Levites, Jeshua and Kadmiel, Bunni, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah said: »Vstani. Bless the Lord your God, from eternity even to eternity! And blessed be the exalted name of your glory, with all blessing and praise.
9:6	You yourself alone, O Gospod, made heaven, and the heaven of the heavens, and all their host, the earth and all things that are in it, the seas and all things that are in them. And you gave life to all these things. And the host of heaven adores you.
9:7	You yourself, O Gospod Bog, are the One who chose Abram. And you led him away from the fire of the Chaldeans, and you gave him the name Abraham.
9:8	And you found his heart to be faithful before you. And you formed a covenant with him, so that you might give to him the land of the Canaanite, of the Hittite, and of the Amorite, and of the Perizzite, and of the Jebusite, and of the Girgashite, so that you might give it to his offspring. And you have fulfilled your words, for you are just.
9:9	And you saw the affliction of our fathers in Egypt. And you heard their outcry beside the Red Sea.
9:10	And you gave signs and portents to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to the people of his land. For you knew that they acted arrogantly against them. And you made a name for yourself, just as it is in this day.
9:11	And you divided the sea before them, and they crossed through the midst of the sea on dry land. But their pursuers you cast into the depths, like a stone into great waters.
9:12	And in the pillar of cloud, you were their leader by day, and in the pillar of fire, by night, so that they might see the way along which they might advance.
9:13	You also descended to mount Sinai, and you spoke with them from heaven. And you gave them upright judgments, and the law of truth, and ceremonies, and good precepts.
9:14	You revealed to them your sanctified Sabbath, and you instructed them in commandments, and ceremonies, and the law, by the hand of Moses, tvoj služabnik.
9:15	You also gave them bread from heaven in their hunger, and you brought forth water from the rock for them in their thirst. And you said to them that they should enter and possess the land, over which you lifted up your hand so that you might give it to them.
9:16	Pa vendar resnično, they and our fathers acted arrogantly, and they hardened their necks, and they did not listen to your commandments.
9:17	And they were not willing to hear, and they did not remember, your miracles which you had accomplished for them. And they hardened their necks, and they offered their head, so that they would return to their servitude, as if in contention. Ampak ti, a forgiving God, lenient and merciful, longsuffering and full of compassion, did not abandon them.
9:18	Prav zares, even when they had made for themselves a molten calf, and they had said, ‘This is your God, who led you away from Egypt!’ and had committed great blasphemies,
9:19	četudi, in the multitude of your mercies, you did not send them away in the desert. The pillar of cloud did not withdraw from them by day, so that it might lead them on the way, nor the pillar of fire by night, so that it might show them the way along which they might advance.
9:20	And you gave them your good Spirit, so that he might teach them, and you did not withhold your manna from their mouth, and you gave them water in their thirst.
9:21	For forty years, you fed them in the desert, and nothing was lacking to them; their garments did not grow old, and their feet were not worn down.
9:22	And you gave them kingdoms and peoples, and you distributed to them by lot. And they possessed the land of Sihon, and the land of the king of Heshbon, and the land of Og, the king of Bashan.
9:23	And you multiplied their sons like the stars of heaven. And you led them into the land, about which you had said to their fathers that they would enter and possess it.
9:24	And the sons arrived and possessed the land. And you humbled the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, before them. And you delivered them into their hands, with their kings, and the people of the land, so that they might do with them just as it was pleasing to them.
9:25	And so they seized fortified cities and fat soil. And they possessed houses filled with all kinds of goods, cisterns made by others, vineyards, and olive groves, and fruit trees in abundance. And they ate and were satisfied. And they were fattened, and they abounded with delights from your great goodness.
9:26	But they provoked you to wrath, and they withdrew from you, and they cast your law behind their backs. And they killed your prophets, who contended with them so that they might return to you. And they committed great blasphemies.
9:27	And so you gave them into the hand of their enemies, and they afflicted them. And in the time of their tribulation, they cried out to you, and from heaven you heard them. And in accord with your great compassion, you gave to them saviors, who might save them from the hand of their enemies.
9:28	But after they had rested, so se obrnili nazaj, so that they did evil in your sight. And you abandoned them to the hand of their enemies, and they possessed them. And they converted, and they cried out to you. And from heaven you heeded them, and you freed them many times, by your mercies.
9:29	And you contended with them, so that they might return to your law. Pa vendar resnično, they acted in arrogance, and they did not listen to your commandments, and they sinned against your judgments, ki, if a man does them, he shall live by them. And they withdrew from offering their shoulder, and they hardened their neck; neither would they listen.
9:30	And you continued to forbear them for many years. And you contended with them by your Spirit, through the hand of your prophets. And they did not listen, and so you delivered them into the hand of the peoples of the lands.
9:31	Yet in your very many mercies, you did not cause them to be consumed, nor did you abandon them. For you are a compassionate and lenient God.
9:32	Zatorej, our great God, strong and terrible, who keeps covenant and mercy, may you not avert your face from all the hardship that has found us, we and our kings, and our leaders, and our priests, and our prophets, and our fathers, and all the people, from the days of king Assur, tudi do danes.
9:33	For you are just, concerning all things that have overwhelmed us. For you have done truth, but we have acted impiously.
9:34	Our kings, our leaders, our priests, and our fathers have not done your law, and they have not been attentive to your commandments and your testimonies, to which you have testified among them.
9:35	And they have not served you, in their kingdoms and with your many good things, which you gave to them, and in the very wide and fat land, which you delivered into their sight, nor did they return from their most wicked pursuits.
9:36	Glej, we ourselves this day are servants. And the land, which you gave to our fathers so that they might eat its bread and have its good things, we ourselves are servants within it.
9:37	And its fruits are multiplied for the kings, whom you have set over us because of our sins. And they rule over our bodies, and over our cattle, according to their will. And we are in great tribulation.
9:38	Zato, concerning all of these things, we ourselves are forming and writing a covenant, and our leaders, our Levites, and our priests are signing it.”

12:27	Now at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem, they sought the Levites from all their places, so that they might bring them to Jerusalem, and so that they might keep the dedication, and rejoice with thanksgiving, and with singing, and with cymbals, psalteries, and lyres.
12:28	Now the sons of the singing men were gathered from the plains surrounding Jerusalem, and from the villages of Netophati,
12:29	and from the house of Gilgal, and from the regions of Geba and Azmaveth. For the singing men had built villages for themselves around Jerusalem.
12:30	And the priests and the Levites were cleansed, and they cleansed the people, and the gates, and the wall.
12:31	Then I caused the leaders of Judah to ascend the wall, and I appointed two great choirs to give praise. And they went to the right upon the wall, toward the dung gate.
12:32	And after them went Hoshaiah, and one half part of the leadership of Judah,
12:33	in Azarija, Ezra, in Mešulam, Juda, in Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah.
12:34	And some of the sons of the priests went forth with trumpets: Zachariah, the son of Jonathan, sin Šemaja, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Micaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph.
12:35	And his brothers, Shemaiah, and Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, and Judah, and Hanani, went forth with the canticles of David, the man of God. And Ezra, the scribe, was before them at the fountain gate.
12:36	And opposite them, they ascended by the steps of the city of David, at the ascent of the wall above the house of David, and as far as the water gate to the east.
12:37	And the second choir of those who gave thanks went forth on the opposite side, and I went after them, and one half part of the people were upon the wall, and upon the tower of the furnaces, as far as the widest wall,
12:38	and above the gate of Ephraim, and above the ancient gate, and above the fish gate, and the tower of Hananel, and the tower of Hamath, and as far as the flock gate. And they stood still at the watch gate.
12:39	And the two choirs of those who gave praise stood still at the house of God, with myself and one half part of the magistrates who were with me.
12:40	And the priests, Eliakim, Maaseiah, Mijamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zaharija, Hananija, went forth with trumpets,
12:41	with Maaseiah, and Shemaiah, in Eleazar, and Uzzi, and Jehohanan, and Malchijah, and Elam, and Ezer. And the singers were singing clearly, and Jezrahiah was their foremost leader.
12:42	And on that day, they immolated great sacrifices, and they rejoiced. For God had caused them to rejoice with great joy. And their wives and children also were glad. And the rejoicing of Jerusalem was heard from far away.
12:43	On that day also, they enrolled men over the storehouses of the treasury, for the libations, and for the first-fruits, and for the tithes, so that the leaders of the city might bring these in, po njih, with proper thanksgiving, for the priests and the Levites. For Judah was rejoicing in the priests and the Levites who were assisting.
12:44	And they kept the vigil of their God, and the vigil of expiation, with the singing men and the gatekeepers, in accord with the precept of David, and of Solomon, his son.
12:45	For in the days of David and Asaph, from the beginning, there were leaders appointed over the singers, to give praise in verses, and to confess to God.
12:46	In ves Izrael, in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, gave portions to the singing men and to the gatekeepers, for each day, and they sanctified the Levites, and the Levites sanctified the sons of Aaron.

Nehemija 13

13:1	Now on that day, they read from the book of Moses in the hearing of the people. And in it, there was found written that the Ammonites and the Moabites must not enter the church of God, even for all time,
13:2	because they did not meet the sons of Israel with bread and water, and they hired Balaam against them, to curse them. But our God turned the curse into a blessing.
13:3	Zdaj se je zgodilo, da, when they had heard the law, they separated every foreigner from Israel.
13:4	In Eliashib, duhovnik, was over this task; he had been given charge of the treasury of the house of our God, and he was a close relative of Tobiah.
13:5	Then he made for himself a large storeroom, and in that place, there was laid before him gifts, and frankincense, and vessels, and the tithes of grain, wine, and oil, the portions of the Levites, and of the singing men, and of the gatekeepers, and the first-fruits of the priests.
13:6	But during all this, I was not in Jerusalem, because in the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes, the king of Babylon, I went to the king, and at the end of some days, I petitioned the king.
13:7	And I went to Jerusalem, and I understood the evil that Eliashib had done for Tobiah, such that he would make him a storeroom in the vestibules of the house of God.
13:8	And it seemed to me very evil. And I cast the vessels of the house of Tobiah outside of the storeroom.
13:9	And I gave instructions, and they cleansed again the storeroom. And I brought back, into that place, the vessels of the house of God, the sacrifice, and the frankincense.
13:10	And I realized that the portions of the Levites had not been given to them, and that each one had fled into his own region, from the Levites, and from the singing men, and from those who were ministering.
13:11	And I brought the case before the magistrates, in rekel sem, “Why have we forsaken the house of God?” And I gathered them together, and I caused them to stand at their stations.
13:12	And all of Judah brought the tithes of the grain, in vino, and the oil into the storehouses.
13:13	And we appointed over the storehouses, Shelemiah, duhovnik, and Zadok, the scribe, and Pedaiah from the Levites, and next to them Hanan, the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah. For they had proven to be faithful. And so the portions of their brothers were entrusted to them.
13:14	Remember me, O my God, zaradi tega, and may you not wipe away my acts of compassion, which I have done for the house of my God and for his ceremonies.
13:15	V teh dneh, I saw, in Judah, some who were treading the presses on the Sabbath, and who were carrying sheaves, and placing on donkeys burdens of wine, and of grapes, and of figs, and all manner of burdens, and who were bringing these into Jerusalem on the day of the Sabbath. And I contended with them, so that they would sell on a day when it was permitted to sell.
13:16	And some Tyrians dwelt within, who were bringing fish and all kinds of items for sale. And they were selling on the Sabbaths to the sons of Judah in Jerusalem.
13:17	And I put the nobles of Judah under oath, in sem jim rekel: “What is this evil thing that you are doing, profaning the Sabbath day?
13:18	Did not our fathers do these things, and so our God brought all this evil upon us and upon this city? And you are adding more wrath upon Israel by violating the Sabbath!”
13:19	In zgodilo se je to, when the gates of Jerusalem had rested on the day of the Sabbath, I spoke, and they closed the gates. And I instructed that they should not open them until after the Sabbath. And I appointed some of my servants over the gates, so that no one would carry in a burden on the day of the Sabbath.
13:20	And so the merchants and those who sold all kinds of items remained just outside of Jerusalem, once and again.
13:21	And I contended with them, in sem jim rekel: “Why are you remaining just beyond the wall? If you do this again, I will send hands upon you.” And so, from that time, they no longer came on the Sabbath.
13:22	I also spoke to the Levites, so that they would be cleansed, and would arrive to guard the gates and to sanctify the day of the Sabbath. Tudi zaradi tega, O my God, remember me and spare me, in accord with the multitude of your mercies.
13:23	But also in those days, I saw some Jews taking wives from the Ashdodites, in Amonci, and the Moabites.
13:24	And their sons spoke partly in the speech of Ashdod, and they did not know how to speak the Jewish language, and they were speaking according to the language of one people or another.
13:25	And I put them under oath, and I cursed them. And I struck some of their men, and I shaved off their hair, and I made them swear to God that they would not give their daughters to their sons, nor take their daughters for their sons, nor for themselves, govoriti:
13:26	“Did not Solomon, kralj Izraela, sin in this kind of thing? In zagotovo, among many nations, there was no king similar to him, and he was beloved of his God, and God set him as king over all of Israel. And yet foreign women led even him into sin!
13:27	So how could we disobey and do all this great evil, so that we would transgress against our God, and take foreign wives?”
13:28	Now one of the sons of Joiada, the son of Eliashib, veliki duhovnik, was a son-in-law to Sanballat, Horonit, and I made him flee from me.
13:29	O Gospod, my God, remember against those who defile the priesthood and the law of the priests and the Levites!
13:30	And so I cleansed them from all foreigners, and I established the orders of the priests and the Levites, each one in his ministry.
13:31	O my God, remember me also, for good, because of the offering of wood, at the appointed times, and because of the first-fruits. Amen.
