2 Ljetopisa 36
1 Tada priprosti puk uze Jošijina sina Joahaza i zakralji ga u Jeruzalemu namjesto njegova oca.
Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in his father’s place in Jerusalem.
2 Dvadeset i tri godine bile su Joahazu kad se zakraljio. Kraljevao je tri mjeseca u Jeruzalemu.
Joahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.
3 Svrgao ga je egipatski kralj u Jeruzalemu i udario na zemlju danak od sto srebrnih talenata i jedan zlatni talenat.
The king of Egypt removed him from office at Jerusalem, and fined the land one 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.
The king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. Neco took Joahaz his brother, and carried him to Egypt.
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.
Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. He did that which was evil in the LORD his God’s sight.
6 Na nj je zaratio babilonski kralj Nabukodonozor i, svezavši ga u dvoje mjedene verige, odveo ga u Babilon.
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against him, and bound him in fetters to carry him to Babylon.
7 Dio posuđa iz Jahvina Doma odnio je Nabukodonozor u Babilon i metnuo ga u svoj dvorac u Babilonu.
Nebuchadnezzar also carried some of the vessels of the LORD’s house to Babylon, and put them in his temple at 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.
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and his abominations which he did, and that which was found in him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah; and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place.
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.
Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem. He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight.
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.
At the return of the year, King Nebuchadnezzar sent and brought him to Babylon, with the valuable vessels of the LORD’s house, and made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem.
11 Dvadeset je i jedna godina bila Sidkiji kad se zakraljio, a kraljevao je jedanaest godina u Jeruzalemu.
Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign, and he 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,
He did that which was evil in the LORD his God’s sight. He didn’t humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet speaking from the LORD’s mouth.
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.
He also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God; but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart against turning to the LORD, the 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.
Moreover all the chiefs of the priests and the people trespassed very greatly after all the abominations of the nations; and they polluted the LORD’s house which he had made holy 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.
The LORD, the God of their fathers, sent to them by his messengers, rising up early and sending, because he had compassion on his people and on his dwelling place;
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.
but they mocked the messengers of God, despised his words, and scoffed at his prophets, until the LORD’s wrath arose against his people, until 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.
Therefore he brought on them the king of the Chaldeans, who killed their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion on young man or virgin, old man or infirm. He gave them all into his hand.
18 Sve posuđe Božjega Doma, veliko i malo, blago Jahvina Doma i kraljevo blago, blago njegovih knezova, sve je odnio u Babilon.
All the vessels of God’s house, great and small, and the treasures of the LORD’s house, and the treasures of the king and of his princes, all these he brought to Babylon.
19 Spalili su Božji Dom, oborili jeruzalemski zid i sve su njegove dragocjenosti uništili.
They burned God’s house, broke down the wall of Jerusalem, burned all its palaces with fire, and destroyed all of its valuable vessels.
20 One što izbjegoše maču odvede Nabukodonozor u Babilon u sužanjstvo. Postali su robovi njemu i njegovim sinovima, dokle nije nastalo perzijsko kraljevstvo.
He carried those who had escaped from the sword away to Babylon, and they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia,
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.”
to fulfill the LORD’s word by Jeremiah’s mouth, until the land had enjoyed its Sabbaths. As long as it lay desolate, it kept Sabbath, to fulfill 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:
Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the LORD’s word by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, 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!'”
“Cyrus king of Persia says, ‘The LORD, the God of heaven, has given all the kingdoms of the earth to me; and he has commanded me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever there is among you of all his people, the LORD his God be with him, and let him go up.’”
