2 Ljetopisa 36
1 Tada priprosti puk uze Jošijina sina Joahaza i zakralji ga u Jeruzalemu namjesto njegova oca.
And the people of the land took Joachaz the son of Josias, and anointed him, and made him king over Jerusalem in the room of his father.
2 Dvadeset i tri godine bile su Joahazu kad se zakraljio. Kraljevao je tri mjeseca u Jeruzalemu.
Joachaz [was] twenty-three years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Amital, daughter of Jeremias of Lobna. And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his fathers had done. And Pharao Nechao bound him in Deblatha in the land of Aemath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem.
3 Svrgao ga je egipatski kralj u Jeruzalemu i udario na zemlju danak od sto srebrnih talenata i jedan zlatni talenat.
And the king brought him over to Egypt; and imposed a tribute on the land, a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
4 Egipatski kralj postavi za kralja nad Judejom i nad Jeruzalemom njegova brata Elijakima, promijenivši mu ime na Jojakim; njegova je brata Joahaza uzeo Neko i odveo u Egipat.
And Pharao Nechao made Eliakim the son of Josias king over Juda in the room of his father Josias, and changed his name [to] Joakim. And Pharao Nechao took his brother Joachaz and brought him into Egypt, and he died there: but [he] had given the silver and gold to Pharao. At that time the land began to be taxed to give the money at the command of Pharao; and every one as he could borrowed the silver and the gold of the people of the land, to give to Pharao Nechao.
5 Dvadeset je i pet godina bilo Jojakimu kad se zakraljio. Kraljevao je jedanaest godina u Jeruzalemu; činio je što je zlo u očima Jahve, njegova Boga.
Joachim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord.
6 Na nj je zaratio babilonski kralj Nabukodonozor i, svezavši ga u dvoje mjedene verige, odveo ga u Babilon.
And Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came up against him, and bound him with brazen fetters, and carried him away to Babylon.
7 Dio posuđa iz Jahvina Doma odnio je Nabukodonozor u Babilon i metnuo ga u svoj dvorac u Babilonu.
And he carried away a part of the vessels of the house of the Lord to Babylon, and put them in his temple in Babylon.
8 Ostala Jojakimova djela i gnusobe koje je činio i što se na njemu našlo, sve je zapisano u Knjizi o izraelskim i judejskim kraljevima. Na njegovo se mjesto zakraljio sin mu Jojakin.
And the rest of the acts of Joakim, and all that he did, behold, [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda? And Joakim slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in Ganozae: and Jechonias his son reigned in his stead.
9 Osam je godina bilo Jojakinu kad se zakraljio, a kraljevao je tri mjeseca i deset dana u Jeruzalemu; činio je što je zlo u Jahvinim očima.
Jechonias [was] eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem, and did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord.
10 O godišnjoj je mijeni poslao kralj Nabukodonozor te su ga odveli u Babilon s dragocjenostima iz Jahvina Doma, a nad Judom i nad Jeruzalemom zakraljio je njegova rođaka Sidkiju.
And at the turn of the year, king Nabuchodonosor sent, and brought him to Babylon, with the precious vessels of the house of the Lord, and made Sedekias his father's brother king over Juda and Jerusalem.
11 Dvadeset je i jedna godina bila Sidkiji kad se zakraljio, a kraljevao je jedanaest godina u Jeruzalemu.
Sedekias [was] twenty-one years old when he began to reign, and be reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.
12 Činio je što je zlo u očima Jahve, njegova Boga; nije se ponizio pred prorokom Jeremijom, koji mu je govorio iz Jahvinih usta,
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord his God: he was not ashamed before the prophet Jeremias, nor because of the word of the Lord;
13 nego se još i pobunio protiv kralja Nabukodonozora, koji ga bijaše zakleo Bogom; ostao je tvrdoglav i uporan u srcu da se ne obrati Jahvi, Bogu Izraelovu.
in that he rebelled against king Nabuchodonosor, which he adjured him by God [not to do]: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart, so as not to return to the Lord God of Israel.
14 Pa i svi su svećenički poglavari i narod gomilali nevjeru na nevjeru slijedeći gnusna djela krivobožačkih naroda, oskvrnjujući Dom Jahvin, posvećen u Jeruzalemu.
And all the great men of Juda, and the priests, and the people of the land transgressed abundantly in the abominations of the heathen, and polluted the house of the Lord which [was] in Jerusalem.
15 Jahve, Bog njihovih otaca, slao je k njima zarana svoje glasnike, slao ih svejednako, jer mu bijaše žao svojega naroda i svojega Prebivališta.
And the Lord God of their fathers sent by the hand of his prophets; rising early and sending his messengers, for he spared his people, and his sanctuary.
16 Ali su se oni rugali Božjim glasnicima, prezirući njegove riječi i podsmjehujući se njegovim prorocima, dok se nije podigla Jahvina jarost na njegov narod te više nije bilo lijeka.
Nevertheless they sneered at his messengers, and set at nought his words, and mocked his prophets, until the wrath of the Lord rose up against his people, till there was no remedy.
17 Doveo je na njih kaldejskoga kralja, koji okrenu pod mač njihove mladiće u domu njihova Svetišta, ne štedeći ni mladića ni djevojke, ni starca ni nemoćna. Sve mu je predao u ruke.
And he brought against them the king of the Chaldeans, and slew their young men with the sword in the house of his sanctuary, and did not spare Sedekias, and had no mercy upon their virgins, and they led away their old men: he delivered all things into their hands.
18 Sve posuđe Božjega Doma, veliko i malo, blago Jahvina Doma i kraljevo blago, blago njegovih knezova, sve je odnio u Babilon.
And all the vessels of the house of God, the great and the small, and the treasures of the house of the Lord, and all the treasures of the king and the great men; he brought all to Babylon.
19 Spalili su Božji Dom, oborili jeruzalemski zid i sve su njegove dragocjenosti uništili.
And he burnt the house of the Lord, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem, and burnt its palaces with fire, and [utterly destroyed] every beautiful vessel.
20 One što izbjegoše maču odvede Nabukodonozor u Babilon u sužanjstvo. Postali su robovi njemu i njegovim sinovima, dokle nije nastalo perzijsko kraljevstvo.
And he carried away the remnant to Babylon; and they were servants to him and to his sons until [the establishment of] the kingdom of the Medes.
21 Da bi se ispunila riječ koju Jahve reče na Jeremijina usta: “Dokle se zemlja ne oduži svojim subotama, počivat će za sve vrijeme u pustoši dok se ne ispuni sedamdeset godina.”
That the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremias might be fulfilled, until the land should enjoy its sabbaths in resting [and] sabbath keeping all the days of its desolation, till the accomplishment of seventy years.
22 Ali prve godine perzijskoga kralja Kira, da bi se ispunila riječ Jahvina objavljena na Jeremijina usta, podiže Jahve duh perzijskoga kralja Kira te on oglasi po svemu svojem kraljevstvu usmeno i pismeno:
In the first year of Cyrus king of the Persians, after the fulfillment of the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremias, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of the Persians, and told him to make proclamation in writing throughout all his kingdom, saying,
23 “Ovako veli perzijski kralj Kir: 'Sva zemaljska kraljevstva dade mi Jahve, Bog nebeski. On mi naloži da mu sagradim Dom u Jeruzalemu, u Judeji. Tko je god među vama od svega njegova naroda, Bog njegov bio s njim, pa neka ide onamo!'”
Thus says Cyrus king of the Persians to all the kingdoms of the earth, The Lord God of heaven has given me [power], and he has commanded me to build a house to him in Jerusalem, in Judea. Who [is there] of you of all his people? His God shall be with him, and let him go up.
