< Jeremija 52 >

1 Sidkiji je bila dvadeset i jedna godina kad se zakraljio, a kraljevao je jedanaest godina u Jeruzalemu. Materi mu bijaše ime Hamitala, kćerka Jeremije, i bila je iz Libne.
It was the twenty-first year of Sedekias, when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Amitaal, the daughter of Jeremias, of Lobena.
2 Činio je što je zlo u očima Jahvinim, sve kao što je činio Jojakin.
3 To je zadesilo Jeruzalem zbog gnjeva Jahvina; Jahve ih napokon i odbaci ispred lica svoga. Sidkija se pobunio protiv babilonskog kralja.
4 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 ninth month, on the tenth day of the month, [that] Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came, and all his host, against Jerusalem, and they made a rampart round it, and built a wall round about it with large stones.
5 Grad osta opkoljen sve do jedanaeste godine Sidkijina kraljevanja.
So the city was besieged, until the eleventh year of king Sedekias,
6 Devetoga dana četvrtoga mjeseca, kad je u gradu zavladala takva glad da priprosti puk nije imao ni kruha,
on the ninth day of the month, and [then] the famine was severe in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land.
7 neprijatelj provali u grad. Tada kralj i svi ratnici pobjegoše noću kroz vrata između dva zida nad Kraljevskim vrtom - Kaldejci bijahu opkolili grad - i krenuše putem prema Arabi.
And the city was broken up, and all the men of war went out by night by the way of the gate, between the wall and the outworks, which were by the king's garden; and the Chaldeans were by the city round about; and they went by the way [leading] to the wilderness.
8 Kaldejske čete nagnuše za njim u potjeru i sustigoše Sidkiju na Jerihonskim poljanama, a sva se njegova vojska razbježala.
But the host of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook him in the [country] beyond Jericho; and all his servants were dispersed from [about] him.
9 I Kaldejci uhvatiše kralja i odvedoše ga u Riblu, u zemlji hamatskoj, pred kralja babilonskog, koji mu izreče presudu.
And they took the king, and brought him to the king of Babylon to Deblatha, and he judged him.
10 Pokla Sidkijine sinove pred njegovim očima, pobi u Ribli sve Judine knezove;
And the king of Babylon killed the sons of Sedekias before his eyes; and he killed all the princes of Juda in Deblatha.
11 Sidkiji iskopa oči i okova ga verigama i odvede u Babilon, gdje ga je držao u tamnici sve do smrti njegove.
And he put out the eyes of Sedekias, and bound him in fetters; and the king of Babylon brought him to Babylon, and put him into the grinding-house, until the day when he died.
12 Desetoga dana petoga mjeseca - devetnaeste godine kraljevanja Nabukodonozora, kralja babilonskog - uđe u Jeruzalem Nebuzaradan, zapovjednik tjelesne straže.
And in the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month, Nabuzardan the captain of the guard, who waited on the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem;
13 On zapali Dom Jahvin, kraljevski dvor i sve kuće u Jeruzalemu, osobito kuće uglednika;
and he burnt the house of the Lord, and the king's house; and all the houses of the city, and every great house he burnt with fire.
14 kaldejske čete, pod zapovjednikom tjelesne straže, razoriše zidine oko Jeruzalema.
And the host of the Chaldeans that was with the captain of the guard pulled down all the wall of Jerusalem round about.
15 Nebuzaradan, zapovjednik tjelesne straže, odvede u sužanjstvo ostatak naroda koji bijaše ostao u gradu, a tako i prebjege babilonskom kralju i ostalu svjetinu.
16 Neke od malih ljudi Nebuzaradan ostavi u zemlji kao vinogradare i ratare.
But the captain of the guard left the remnant of the people to be vinedressers and husbandmen.
17 Kaldejci razbiše tučane stupove u Domu Jahvinu, podnožja i mjedeno more u Domu Jahvinu, i tuč odniješe u Babilon.
And the Chaldeans broke in pieces the brazen pillars that were in the house of the Lord, and the bases, and the brazen sea that was in the house of the Lord, and they took the brass thereof, and carried it away to Babylon.
18 Uzeše i lonce, lopate, noževe, posudice i uopće sav tučani pribor koji se upotrebljavao za bogoslužja.
Also the rim, and the bowls, and the flesh hooks, and all the brazen vessels, wherewith they ministered;
19 Zapovjednik uze i umivaonice, kadionice, škropionice, lonce, svijećnjake, zdjele, žrtvene pehare, uopće sve što bijaše od zlata i srebra,
and the basins, and the snuffers, and the oil-funnels, and the candlesticks, and the censers, and the cups, the golden, of gold, and the silver, of silver, the captain of the guard took away.
20 dva stupa, jedno more i dvanaest tučanih volova pod morem, podnožja što je kralj Salomon dao izraditi za Dom Jahvin. Nije moguće procijeniti koliko je tuča bilo u svim tim predmetima.
And the two pillars, and the one sea, and the twelve brazen oxen under the sea, which [things] king Solomon made for the house of the Lord; the brass of which [articles] was without weight.
21 Prvi stup bijaše visok osamnaest lakata - obuhvatiti ga je mogao konop od dvanaest lakata - bijaše četiri prsta debeo, a šupalj.
And as for the pillars, the height of one pillar was thirty-five cubits; and a line of twelve cubits compassed it round; and the thickness of it [all] round was four fingers.
22 Imao je glavicu od tuča, visoku pet lakata; i obvijaše je oplet i mogranji, a sve od tuča. Takav je bio i drugi stup.
And [there was] a brazen chapiter upon them, and the length was five cubits, [even] the height of one chapiter; and [there were] on the chapiter round about network and pomegranates, all of brass: and correspondingly the second pillar [had] eight pomegranates to a cubit for the twelve cubits.
23 A devedeset i šest šipaka slobodno je visjelo. Sve u svemu bijaše oko sto šipaka u tom opletu.
And the pomegranates were ninety-six on a side; and all the pomegranates on the network round about were a hundred.
24 Zapovjednik je straže odveo svećeničkog poglavara Seraju, drugog svećenika, Sefaniju, i tri čuvara praga.
And the captain of the guard took the chief priest, and the second priest, and those that kept the way;
25 Iz grada je odveo jednog dvorjanina, vojničkog zapovjednika, sedam ljudi iz kraljeve pratnje koji se zatekoše u gradu, pisara zapovjednika vojske koji je novačio puk te šezdeset pučana koji se također zatekoše u gradu.
and one eunuch, who was over the men of war, and seven men of renown, who were in the king's presence that were found in the city; and the scribe of the forces, who did the part of a scribe to the people of the land; and sixty men of the people of the land, who were found in the midst of the city.
26 Zapovjednik tjelesne straže Nebuzaradan odvede ih pred kralja babilonskog u Riblu.
And Nabuzardan the captain of the king's guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Deblatha.
27 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 struck them in Deblatha, in the land of Aemath.
28 Evo broja ljudstva što ga Nabukodonozor odvede u sužanjstvo: sedme godine tri tisuće i dvadeset tri Judejca;
29 osamnaeste godine Nabukodonozorove osamsto trideset i dvije osobe iz Jeruzalema;
30 dvadeset i treće godine Nabukodonozorove, Nebuzaradan, zapovjednik tjelesne straže, odvede sedam stotina četrdeset i pet Judejaca. U svemu: četiri tisuće i šest stotona osoba.
31 A trideset i sedme godine otkako je zasužnjen judejski kralj Jojakin, dvadeset i petoga dana dvanaestoga mjeseca, babilonski kralj Evil Merodak u prvoj godini svoje vladavine pomilova judejskoga kralja Jojakina i pusti ga iz tamnice.
And it came to pass in the thirty-seventh year after that Joakim king of Juda had been carried away captive, in the twelfth month, on the four and twentieth [day] of the month, [that] Ulaemadachar king of Babylon, in the year in which he began to reign, raised the head of Joakim king of Juda, and shaved him, and brought him out of the house where he was kept,
32 Ljubezno je s njim razgovarao i stolicu mu postavio više nego drugim kraljevima koji bijahu s njim u Babilonu.
and spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the kings that were with him in Babylon,
33 Jojakin je odložio svoje tamničke haljine i jeo s kraljem za istim stolom svega svoga vijeka.
and changed his prison garments: and he ate bread continually before him all the days that he lived.
34 Do kraja njegova života, sve do smrti, babilonski mu je kralj trajno, iz dana u dan, davao uzdržavanje.
And his appointed portion was given him continually by the king of Babylon from day to day, until the day when he died.
