2 Kraljevima 25
1 Devete godine njegova kraljevanja, desetoga dana desetoga mjeseca, krenu sam babilonski kralj Nabukodonozor sa svom svojom vojskom na Jeruzalem. Utabori se pred gradom i opasa ga opkopom.
So in the ninth year of Zedekiah’s reign, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon marched against Jerusalem with his entire army. They encamped outside the city and built a siege wall all around it.
2 Grad osta opkoljen do jedanaeste godine Sidkijina kraljevanja.
And the city was kept under siege until King Zedekiah’s eleventh year.
3 Devetoga dana četvrtoga mjeseca, kad je u gradu zavladala takva glad da priprosti puk nije imao ni kruha,
By the ninth day of the fourth month, the famine in the city was so severe that the people of the land had no food.
4 neprijatelj provali u grad. Tada kralj i svi ratnici pobjegoše noću kroz vrata između dva zida nad Kraljevim vrtom - Kaldejci bijahu opkolili grad - i krenuše putem prema Arabi.
Then the city was breached; and though the Chaldeans had surrounded the city, all the men of war fled by night by way of the gate between the two walls near the king’s garden. They headed toward the Arabah,
5 Kaldejske čete nagnuše u potjeru za kraljem i sustigoše ga na Jerihonskim poljanama, a sva se njegova vojska razbježala.
but the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king and overtook him in the plains of Jericho, and all his army was separated from him.
6 Kaldejci uhvatiše kralja i odvedoše ga u Riblu pred kralja babilonskog, koji mu izreče presudu.
The Chaldeans seized the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah, where they pronounced judgment on him.
7 Sidkijine sinove pokla pred njegovim očima, Sidkiji iskopa oči, okova ga verigama i odvede u Babilon.
And they slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes. Then they put out his eyes, bound him with bronze shackles, and took him to Babylon.
8 Sedmoga dana petoga mjeseca - devetnaeste godine kraljevanja Nabukodonozora, kralja babilonskog - uđe u Jeruzalem Nebuzaradan, zapovjednik kraljeve tjelesne straže i časnik babilonskog kralja.
On the seventh day of the fifth month, in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar’s reign over Babylon, Nebuzaradan captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, entered Jerusalem.
9 On zapali Dom Jahvin, kraljevski dvor i sve kuće u Jeruzalemu.
He burned down the house of the LORD, the royal palace, and all the houses of Jerusalem—every significant building.
10 Kaldejske čete, pod zapovjednikom kraljevske tjelesne straže, razoriše zidine koje su okruživale Jeruzalem.
And the whole army of the Chaldeans under the captain of the guard broke down the walls around Jerusalem.
11 Nebuzaradan, zapovjednik kraljeve tjelesne straže, odvede u sužanjstvo ostatak naroda koji bijaše ostao u gradu, a tako i prebjege babilonskom kralju i ostalu svjetinu.
Then Nebuzaradan captain of the guard carried into exile the people who remained in the city, along with the deserters who had defected to the king of Babylon and the rest of the population.
12 Neke od malih ljudi ostavi zapovjednik u zemlji kao vinogradare i ratare.
But the captain of the guard left behind some of the poorest of the land to tend the vineyards and fields.
13 Kaldejci razbiše tučane stupove u Domu Jahvinu, podnožja i mjedeno more koji su bili u Domu Jahvinu i tuč odniješe u Babilon.
Moreover, the Chaldeans broke up the bronze pillars and stands and the bronze Sea in the house of the LORD, and they carried the bronze to Babylon.
14 Uzeše i lonce, lopate, noževe, posudice i uopće sav tučani pribor koji se upotrebljavao za bogoslužja.
They also took away the pots, shovels, wick trimmers, dishes, and all the articles of bronze used in the temple service.
15 Zapovjednik uze i kadionice i škropionice, uopće sve što bijaše od zlata i srebra,
The captain of the guard also took away the censers and sprinkling bowls—anything made of pure gold or fine silver.
16 dva stupa, jedno more i podnožja, što je Salomon dao izraditi za Dom Jahvin. Nije moguće procijeniti koliko je tuča bilo u svim tim predmetima.
As for the two pillars, the Sea, and the movable stands that Solomon had made for the house of the LORD, the weight of the bronze from all these articles was beyond measure.
17 Prvi stup bijaše visok osamnaest lakata, imao je glavicu od tuča, visoku pet lakata; obvijaše je oplet i mogranji, sve od tuča. Takav je bio i drugi stup.
Each pillar was eighteen cubits tall. The bronze capital atop one pillar was three cubits high, with a network of bronze pomegranates all around. The second pillar, with its network, was similar.
18 Zapovjednik straže odveo je svećeničkog poglavara Seraju, drugog svećenika, Sefaniju, i tri čuvara praga.
The captain of the guard also took away Seraiah the chief priest, Zephaniah the priest of second rank, and the three doorkeepers.
19 Iz grada je odveo jednog dvoranina, vojničkog zapovjednika, pet ljudi iz kraljeve pratnje koji se zatekoše u gradu, pisara zapovjednika vojske koji je novačio puk i šezdeset pučana koji se također zatekoše u gradu.
Of those still in the city, he took a court official who had been appointed over the men of war, as well as five royal advisors. He also took the scribe of the captain of the army, who had enlisted the people of the land, and sixty men who were found in the city.
20 Zapovjednik kraljevske tjelesne straže Nebuzaradan odvede ih pred kralja babilonskoga u Riblu.
Nebuzaradan captain of the guard took them and brought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.
21 I kralj babilonski zapovjedi da ih pogube u Ribli, u zemlji hamatskoj. Tako su judejski narod odveli s njegove rodne grude.
There at Riblah in the land of Hamath, the king of Babylon struck them down and put them to death. So Judah was taken into exile, away from its own land.
22 Narodu što je ostao u zemlji judejskoj i što ga je ostavio babilonski kralj Nabukodonozor - postavio je ovaj za upravitelja Gedaliju, sina Ahikamova, unuka Šafanova.
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon appointed Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, over the people he had left behind in the land of Judah.
23 Svi vojni zapovjednici i njihovi ljudi saznaše da je babilonski kralj postavio zemlji za namjesnika Gedaliju i dođoše pred njega u Mispu: Netanijin sin Jišmael; Kareahov sin Johanan; sin Tanhumeta iz Netofe, Seraja; Maakatijev sin Jaazanija - oni i svi njihovi ljudi.
When all the commanders of the armies and their men heard that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedaliah as governor, they came to Gedaliah at Mizpah—Ishmael son of Nethaniah, Johanan son of Kareah, Seraiah son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah son of the Maacathite, as well as their men.
24 Gedalija se zakle njima i njihovim ljudima i reče: “Ne bojte se služiti Kaldejcima; ostanite u zemlji, budite podložni babilonskom kralju i bit će vam dobro.”
And Gedaliah took an oath before them and their men, assuring them, “Do not be afraid of the servants of the Chaldeans. Live in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and it will be well with you.”
25 Ali sedmoga mjeseca Jišmael, sin Netanijin, unuk Elišamin, koji bijaše kraljevskog roda, i još deset ljudi s njim ubiše Gedaliju te on umrije kao i svi Judejci i Kaldejci koji bijahu s njim u Mispi.
In the seventh month, however, Ishmael son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, who was a member of the royal family, came with ten men and struck down and killed Gedaliah, along with the Judeans and Chaldeans who were with him at Mizpah.
26 Tada sav narod, od maloga do velikog, i svi zapovjednici četa ustadoše i odoše u Egipat jer se bojahu Kaldejaca.
Then all the people small and great, together with the commanders of the army, arose and fled to Egypt for fear of the Chaldeans.
27 Trideset i sedme godine otkako je zasužnjen judejski kralj Jojakin, dvadeset i sedmog dana dvanaestoga mjeseca, babilonski kralj Evil Merodak u prvoj godini svoje vladavine pomilova judejskog kralja Jojakina i pusti ga iz tamnice.
On the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth month of the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Judah’s King Jehoiachin, in the year Evil-merodach became king of Babylon, he released King Jehoiachin of Judah from prison.
28 Ljubezno je s njime razgovarao i stolicu mu postavio više nego ostalim kraljevima koji bijahu s njim u Babilonu.
And he spoke kindly to Jehoiachin and set his throne above the thrones of the other kings who were with him in Babylon.
29 Jojakin je odložio svoje tamničke haljine i jeo s kraljem za istim stolom svega svoga vijeka.
So Jehoiachin changed out of his prison clothes, and he dined regularly at the king’s table for the rest of his life.
30 Do kraja njegova života babilonski mu je kralj trajno, iz dana u dan, davao uzdržavanje.
And the king provided Jehoiachin a daily portion for the rest of his life.
