¹And when the seventh month was come, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem.

¹In ko se je približal sedmi mesec in so že bili sinovi Izraelovi v svojih mestih, tedaj se zbere ljudstvo kakor en mož v Jeruzalemu.

²Then stood up Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and his brethren, and builded the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings thereon, as it is written in the law of Moses the man of God.

²Tedaj vstane Jesua, sin Jozadakov, in bratje njegovi, duhovniki, in Zerubabel, sin Sealtielov, in bratje njegovi, in zgrade oltar Boga Izraelovega, da se darujejo na njem žgalne daritve, kakor je pisano v postavi Mojzesa, moža Božjega.

³And they set the altar upon his bases; for fear was upon them because of the people of those countries: and they offered burnt offerings thereon unto the LORD, even burnt offerings morning and evening.

³In postavili so oltar na njegovi podstavi, kajti strah jih je bilo zaradi ljudstev sosednjih dežel; in darovali so na njem žgalne daritve GOSPODU, žgalne daritve zjutraj in zvečer.

⁴They kept also the feast of tabernacles, as it is written, and offered the daily burnt offerings by number, according to the custom, as the duty of every day required;

⁴In praznovali so praznik šatorov, kakor je predpisano, in darovali žgalščine vsak dan po številu, soglasno s predpisom, kakor je bilo vsak dan obvezno.

⁵And afterward offered the continual burnt offering, both of the new moons, and of all the set feasts of the LORD that were consecrated, and of every one that willingly offered a freewill offering unto the LORD.

⁵In potem stalno žgalno daritev in daritve ob mlajih in ob vseh določenih praznikih GOSPODOVIH, ki so bili posvečeni, in daritve vsakega, ki je GOSPODU prinesel prostovoljno darilo.

⁶From the first day of the seventh month began they to offer burnt offerings unto the LORD. But the foundation of the temple of the LORD was not yet laid.

⁶Prvi dan sedmega meseca so začeli darovati žgalščine GOSPODU, ko še ni bila položena podstava templju GOSPODOVEMU.

⁷They gave money also unto the masons, and to the carpenters; and meat, and drink, and oil, unto them of Zidon, and to them of Tyre, to bring cedar trees from Lebanon to the sea of Joppa, according to the grant that they had of Cyrus king of Persia.

⁷In dali so denarja kamenosekom in tesarjem in živeža, pijače in olja tistim iz Sidona in iz Tira, da bi privažali cedrov les z Libanona na morje v Jafo, kakor jih je pooblastil Cir, kralj Perzije.

⁸Now in the second year of their coming unto the house of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the remnant of their brethren the priests and the Levites, and all they that were come out of the captivity unto Jerusalem; and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to set forward the work of the house of the LORD.

⁸In v drugem letu po njih prihodu k hiši Božji v Jeruzalem, v drugem mesecu, so začeli Zerubabel, sin Sealtielov, in Jesua, sin Jozadakov, in ostali njih bratje, duhovniki in leviti, in vsi, ki so bili prišli iz ujetništva v Jeruzalem, in so postavili levite, dvajsetletne in starejše, da nadzorujejo delo hiše GOSPODOVE.

⁹Then stood Jeshua with his sons and his brethren, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, together, to set forward the workmen in the house of God: the sons of Henadad, with their sons and their brethren the Levites.

⁹Tedaj so stali, kakor en mož, Jesua s sinovi in z brati svojimi, Kadmiel in sinovi njegovi, sinovi Hodavijevi, da bi nadzorovali delavce pri hiši Božji, tudi sinovi Henadadovi s svojimi sinovi in brati, leviti, vred.

¹⁰And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the LORD, they set the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the LORD, after the ordinance of David king of Israel.

¹⁰In ko so stavbarji pokladali podstavo templju GOSPODOVEMU, so postavili duhovnike v njih oblačilih s trobentami in levite, sinove Asafove, s cimbali, da hvalijo GOSPODA po naredbi Davida, kralja Izraelovega.

¹¹And they sang together by course in praising and giving thanks unto the LORD; because he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the LORD, because the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid.

¹¹In odpevali so drugi drugim, hvaleč in zahvaljujoč GOSPODA, ker je dobrotljiv, ker vekomaj traja milost njegova nad Izraelom. In vse ljudstvo je zagnalo radostno ukanje ob hvali GOSPODOVI, ker je položil temelj hiši GOSPODOVI.

¹²But many of the priests and Levites and chief of the fathers, who were ancient men, that had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice; and many shouted aloud for joy:

¹²A mnogi iz duhovnikov in levitov in poglavarjev očetovskih družin, stari možje, ki so bili videli prejšnjo hišo, so glasno jokali, ko se je pokladal temelj tej hiši pred njih očmi; mnogi so pa glasno vriskali od veselja;tako da ljudstvo ni moglo razločiti veselega vriskanja od glasnega jokanja med ljudstvom, zakaj ljudstvo je vriskalo z močnim glasom, in glas se je daleč razlegal.

¹³So that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people: for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard afar off.

¹³tako da ljudstvo ni moglo razločiti veselega vriskanja od glasnega jokanja med ljudstvom, zakaj ljudstvo je vriskalo z močnim glasom, in glas se je daleč razlegal.
