< 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.
Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign. He reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
2 Činio je što je zlo u očima Jahvinim, sve kao što je činio Jojakin.
He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
3 To je zadesilo Jeruzalem zbog gnjeva Jahvina; Jahve ih napokon i odbaci ispred lica svoga. Sidkija se pobunio protiv babilonskog kralja.
For through Yahweh’s anger this happened in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence. Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
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.
In the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it; and they built forts against it round about.
5 Grad osta opkoljen sve do jedanaeste godine Sidkijina kraljevanja.
So the city was besieged to the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.
6 Devetoga dana četvrtoga mjeseca, kad je u gradu zavladala takva glad da priprosti puk nije imao ni kruha,
In the fourth month, in the ninth day of the month, the famine was severe in the city, so that 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.
Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war fled, and went out of the city by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king’s garden. Now the Chaldeans were against the city all around. The men of war went toward the Arabah,
8 Kaldejske čete nagnuše za njim u potjeru i sustigoše Sidkiju na Jerihonskim poljanama, a sva se njegova vojska razbježala.
but the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.
9 I Kaldejci uhvatiše kralja i odvedoše ga u Riblu, u zemlji hamatskoj, pred kralja babilonskog, koji mu izreče presudu.
Then they took the king, and carried him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he pronounced judgment on him.
10 Pokla Sidkijine sinove pred njegovim očima, pobi u Ribli sve Judine knezove;
The king of Babylon killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes. He also killed all the princes of Judah in Riblah.
11 Sidkiji iskopa oči i okova ga verigama i odvede u Babilon, gdje ga je držao u tamnici sve do smrti njegove.
He put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him in fetters, and carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison until the day of his death.
12 Desetoga dana petoga mjeseca - devetnaeste godine kraljevanja Nabukodonozora, kralja babilonskog - uđe u Jeruzalem Nebuzaradan, zapovjednik tjelesne straže.
Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, who stood before the king of Babylon, came into Jerusalem.
13 On zapali Dom Jahvin, kraljevski dvor i sve kuće u Jeruzalemu, osobito kuće uglednika;
He burned Yahweh’s house, and the king’s house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, he burned with fire.
14 kaldejske čete, pod zapovjednikom tjelesne straže, razoriše zidine oko Jeruzalema.
All the army of the Chaldeans, who were with the captain of the guard, broke down all the walls of Jerusalem all around.
15 Nebuzaradan, zapovjednik tjelesne straže, odvede u sužanjstvo ostatak naroda koji bijaše ostao u gradu, a tako i prebjege babilonskom kralju i ostalu svjetinu.
Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the poorest of the people, and the rest of the people who were left in the city, and those who fell away, who defected to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude.
16 Neke od malih ljudi Nebuzaradan ostavi u zemlji kao vinogradare i ratare.
But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poorest of the land to be vineyard keepers and farmers.
17 Kaldejci razbiše tučane stupove u Domu Jahvinu, podnožja i mjedeno more u Domu Jahvinu, i tuč odniješe u Babilon.
The Chaldeans broke the pillars of bronze that were in Yahweh’s house and the bases and the bronze sea that were in Yahweh’s house in pieces, and carried all of their bronze to Babylon.
18 Uzeše i lonce, lopate, noževe, posudice i uopće sav tučani pribor koji se upotrebljavao za bogoslužja.
They also took away the pots, the shovels, the snuffers, the basins, the spoons, and all the vessels of bronze with which they ministered.
19 Zapovjednik uze i umivaonice, kadionice, škropionice, lonce, svijećnjake, zdjele, žrtvene pehare, uopće sve što bijaše od zlata i srebra,
The captain of the guard took away the cups, the fire pans, the basins, the pots, the lamp stands, the spoons, and the bowls; that which was of gold, as gold, and that which was of silver, as silver.
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.
They took the two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve bronze bulls that were under the bases, which King Solomon had made for Yahweh’s house. The bronze of all these vessels was without weight.
21 Prvi stup bijaše visok osamnaest lakata - obuhvatiti ga je mogao konop od dvanaest lakata - bijaše četiri prsta debeo, a šupalj.
As for the pillars, the height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits; and a line of twelve cubits encircled it; and its thickness was four fingers. It was hollow.
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.
A capital of bronze was on it; and the height of the one capital was five cubits, with network and pomegranates on the capital all around, all of bronze. The second pillar also had the same, with pomegranates.
23 A devedeset i šest šipaka slobodno je visjelo. Sve u svemu bijaše oko sto šipaka u tom opletu.
There were ninety-six pomegranates on the sides; all the pomegranates were one hundred on the network all around.
24 Zapovjednik je straže odveo svećeničkog poglavara Seraju, drugog svećenika, Sefaniju, i tri čuvara praga.
The captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold,
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 out of the city he took an officer who was set over the men of war; and seven men of those who saw the king’s face, who were found in the city; and the scribe of the captain of the army, who mustered the people of the land; and sixty men of the people of the land, who were found in the middle of the city.
26 Zapovjednik tjelesne straže Nebuzaradan odvede ih pred kralja babilonskog u Riblu.
Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.
27 I kralj babilonski zapovjedi da ih pogube u Ribli, u zemlji hamatskoj. Tako su judejski narod odveli s njegove rodne grude.
The king of Babylon struck them, and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away captive out of his land.
28 Evo broja ljudstva što ga Nabukodonozor odvede u sužanjstvo: sedme godine tri tisuće i dvadeset tri Judejca;
This is the number of the people whom Nebuchadnezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year, three thousand twenty-three Jews;

in the twenty-third year of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred forty-five people. All the people numbered four thousand six hundred.
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.
In the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the twenty-fifth day of the month, Evilmerodach king of Babylon, in the first year of his reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and released him from prison.
32 Ljubezno je s njim razgovarao i stolicu mu postavio više nego drugim kraljevima koji bijahu s njim u Babilonu.
He spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings who 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. Jehoiachin ate bread before him continually all the days of his life.
34 Do kraja njegova života, sve do smrti, babilonski mu je kralj trajno, iz dana u dan, davao uzdržavanje.
For his allowance, there was a continual allowance given him by the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life.
