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.
And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, the tenth day of the month, that Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came, he and all his army against Jerusalem: and they surrounded it: and raised works round about it.
2 Grad osta opkoljen do jedanaeste godine Sidkijina kraljevanja.
And the city was shut up and besieged till the eleventh year of king Sedecias,
3 Devetoga dana četvrtoga mjeseca, kad je u gradu zavladala takva glad da priprosti puk nije imao ni kruha,
The ninth day of the month: and a famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land.
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.
And a breach was made into the city: and all the men of war fled in the night between the two walls by the king’s garden, (now the Chaldees besieged the city round about, ) and Sedecias fled by the way that leadeth to the plains of the wilderness.
5 Kaldejske čete nagnuše u potjeru za kraljem i sustigoše ga na Jerihonskim poljanama, a sva se njegova vojska razbježala.
And the army of the Chaldees pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all the warriors that were with him were scattered, and left him:
6 Kaldejci uhvatiše kralja i odvedoše ga u Riblu pred kralja babilonskog, koji mu izreče presudu.
So they took the king, and brought him to the king of Babylon to Reblatha, and he gave judgment upon him.
7 Sidkijine sinove pokla pred njegovim očima, Sidkiji iskopa oči, okova ga verigama i odvede u Babilon.
And he slew the sons of Sedecias before his face, and he put out his eyes, and bound him with chains, and brought 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.
In the fifth month, the seventh day of the month, that is, the nineteenth year of the king of Babylon, came Nabuzardan commander of the army, a servant of the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem.
9 On zapali Dom Jahvin, kraljevski dvor i sve kuće u Jeruzalemu.
And he burnt the house of the Lord, and the king’s house, and the houses of Jerusalem, and every house he burnt with fire.
10 Kaldejske čete, pod zapovjednikom kraljevske tjelesne straže, razoriše zidine koje su okruživale Jeruzalem.
And all the army of the Chaldees, which was with the commander of the troops, broke down the walls of Jerusalem round about.
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.
And Nabuzardan the commander of the army, carried away the rest of the people that remained in the city, and the fugitives that had gone over to the king of Babylon, and the remnant of the common people.
12 Neke od malih ljudi ostavi zapovjednik u zemlji kao vinogradare i ratare.
But of the poor of the land he left some dressers of vines and husbandmen.
13 Kaldejci razbiše tučane stupove u Domu Jahvinu, podnožja i mjedeno more koji su bili u Domu Jahvinu i tuč odniješe u Babilon.
And the pillars of brass that were in the temple of the Lord, and the bases, and the sea of brass which was in the house of the Lord, the Chaldees broke in pieces, and carried all the brass of them to Babylon.
14 Uzeše i lonce, lopate, noževe, posudice i uopće sav tučani pribor koji se upotrebljavao za bogoslužja.
They took away also the pots of brass, and the mazers, and the forks, and the cups, and the mortars, and all the vessels of brass with which they ministered.
15 Zapovjednik uze i kadionice i škropionice, uopće sve što bijaše od zlata i srebra,
Moreover also the censers, and the bowls, such as were of gold in gold, and such as were of silver in silver, the general of the army took away.
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.
That is, two pillars, one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made in the temple of the Lord: the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
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.
One pillar was eighteen cubits high, and the chapiter of brass which was upon it was three cubits high: and the network, and the pomegranates that were upon the chapiter of the pillar, were all of brass: and the second pillar had the like adorning.
18 Zapovjednik straže odveo je svećeničkog poglavara Seraju, drugog svećenika, Sefaniju, i tri čuvara praga.
And the general of the army took Seraias the chief priest, and Sophonias the second priest, and 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.
And out of the city one eunuch, who was captain over the men of war: and five men of them that had stood before the king, whom he found in the city, and Sopher the captain of the army who exercised the young soldiers of the people of the land: and threescore men of the common people, who were found in the city.
20 Zapovjednik kraljevske tjelesne straže Nebuzaradan odvede ih pred kralja babilonskoga u Riblu.
These Nabuzardan the general of the army took away, and carried them to the king of Babylon to Reblatha.
21 I kralj babilonski zapovjedi da ih pogube u Ribli, u zemlji hamatskoj. Tako su judejski narod odveli s njegove rodne grude.
And the king of Babylon smote them, and slew them at Reblatha in the land of Emath: so Juda was carried away out of their 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.
But over the people that remained in the land of Juda, which Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon had left, he gave the government to Godolias the son of Ahicam the son of Saphan.
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.
And when all the captains of the soldiers had heard this, they and the men that were with them, to wit, that the king of Babylon had made Godolias governor, they came to Godolias to Maspha, Ismael the son of Nathanias, and Johanan the son of Caree, and Saraia the son of Thanehumeth the Netophathite, and Jezonias the son of Maachathi, they and 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 Godolias swore to them and to their men, saying: Be not afraid to serve the Chaldees: stay in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall 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.
But it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ismael the son of Nathanias, the son of Elisama of the seed royal came, and ten men with him: and smote Godolias so that he died: and also the Jews and the Chaldees that were with him in Maspha.
26 Tada sav narod, od maloga do velikog, i svi zapovjednici četa ustadoše i odoše u Egipat jer se bojahu Kaldejaca.
And all the people both little and great, and the captains of the soldiers, rising up went to Egypt, fearing the Chaldees.
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.
And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Joachin king of Juda, in the twelfth month the seven and twentieth day of the month: Evilmerodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, lifted up the head of Joachin king of Juda out of 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 him: and he set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon.
29 Jojakin je odložio svoje tamničke haljine i jeo s kraljem za istim stolom svega svoga vijeka.
And he changed his garments which he had in prison, and he ate bread always before him, all the days of his life.
30 Do kraja njegova života babilonski mu je kralj trajno, iz dana u dan, davao uzdržavanje.
And he appointed him a continual allowance, which was also given him by the king day by day, all the days of his life.
