2 Kings 25
1 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 around it.
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.
2 So the city was besieged until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.
Grad osta opkoljen do jedanaeste godine Sidkijina kraljevanja.
3 On the ninth day of the fourth month, the famine was severe in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.
Devetoga dana četvrtoga mjeseca, kad je u gradu zavladala takva glad da priprosti puk nije imao ni kruha,
4 Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war fled 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 around it); and the king went by the way of the Arabah.
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.
5 But the Chaldean army pursued the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.
Kaldejske čete nagnuše u potjeru za kraljem i sustigoše ga na Jerihonskim poljanama, a sva se njegova vojska razbježala.
6 Then they captured the king and carried him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they passed judgment on him.
Kaldejci uhvatiše kralja i odvedoše ga u Riblu pred kralja babilonskog, koji mu izreče presudu.
7 They killed Zedekiah’s sons before his eyes, then put out Zedekiah’s eyes, bound him in fetters, and carried him to Babylon.
Sidkijine sinove pokla pred njegovim očima, Sidkiji iskopa oči, okova ga verigama i odvede u Babilon.
8 Now in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem.
Sedmoga dana petoga mjeseca - devetnaeste godine kraljevanja Nabukodonozora, kralja babilonskog - uđe u Jeruzalem Nebuzaradan, zapovjednik kraljeve tjelesne straže i časnik babilonskog kralja.
9 He burned the LORD’s house, the king’s house, and all the houses of Jerusalem. He burned every great house with fire.
On zapali Dom Jahvin, kraljevski dvor i sve kuće u Jeruzalemu.
10 All the army of the Chaldeans, who were with the captain of the guard, broke down the walls around Jerusalem.
Kaldejske čete, pod zapovjednikom kraljevske tjelesne straže, razoriše zidine koje su okruživale Jeruzalem.
11 Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive the rest of the people who were left in the city and those who had deserted to the king of Babylon—all the rest of the multitude.
Nebuzaradan, zapovjednik kraljeve tjelesne straže, odvede u sužanjstvo ostatak naroda koji bijaše ostao u gradu, a tako i prebjege babilonskom kralju i ostalu svjetinu.
12 But the captain of the guard left some of the poorest of the land to work the vineyards and fields.
Neke od malih ljudi ostavi zapovjednik u zemlji kao vinogradare i ratare.
13 The Chaldeans broke up the pillars of bronze that were in the LORD’s house and the bases and the bronze sea that were in the LORD’s house, and carried the bronze pieces to Babylon.
Kaldejci razbiše tučane stupove u Domu Jahvinu, podnožja i mjedeno more koji su bili u Domu Jahvinu i tuč odniješe u Babilon.
14 They took away the pots, the shovels, the snuffers, the spoons, and all the vessels of bronze with which they ministered.
Uzeše i lonce, lopate, noževe, posudice i uopće sav tučani pribor koji se upotrebljavao za bogoslužja.
15 The captain of the guard took away the fire pans, the basins, that which was of gold, for gold, and that which was of silver, for silver.
Zapovjednik uze i kadionice i škropionice, uopće sve što bijaše od zlata i srebra,
16 The two pillars, the one sea, and the bases, which Solomon had made for the LORD’s house, the bronze of all these vessels was not weighed.
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.
17 The height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, and a capital of bronze was on it. The height of the capital was three cubits, with network and pomegranates on the capital around it, all of bronze; and the second pillar with its network was like these.
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.
18 The captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold;
Zapovjednik straže odveo je svećeničkog poglavara Seraju, drugog svećenika, Sefaniju, i tri čuvara praga.
19 and out of the city he took an officer who was set over the men of war; and five men of those who saw the king’s face, who were found in the city; and the scribe, 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 city.
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.
20 Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.
Zapovjednik kraljevske tjelesne straže Nebuzaradan odvede ih pred kralja babilonskoga u Riblu.
21 The king of Babylon attacked them and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away captive out of his land.
I kralj babilonski zapovjedi da ih pogube u Ribli, u zemlji hamatskoj. Tako su judejski narod odveli s njegove rodne grude.
22 As for the people who were left in the land of Judah whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, even over them he made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, governor.
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.
23 Now when all the captains of the forces, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, Johanan the son of Kareah, Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of the Maacathite, they and their men.
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.
24 Gedaliah swore to them and to their men, and said to them, “Do not be afraid because of the servants of the Chaldeans. Dwell in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and it will be well with you.”
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.”
25 But in the seventh month, Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the royal offspring came, and ten men with him, and struck Gedaliah so that he died, with the Jews and the Chaldeans that were with him at Mizpah.
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.
26 All the people, both small and great, and the captains of the forces arose and came to Egypt; for they were afraid of the Chaldeans.
Tada sav narod, od maloga do velikog, i svi zapovjednici četa ustadoše i odoše u Egipat jer se bojahu Kaldejaca.
27 In the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, Evilmerodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, released Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison,
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.
28 and he spoke kindly to him and set his throne above the throne of the kings who were with him in Babylon,
Ljubezno je s njime razgovarao i stolicu mu postavio više nego ostalim kraljevima koji bijahu s njim u Babilonu.
29 and changed his prison garments. Jehoiachin ate bread before him continually all the days of his life;
Jojakin je odložio svoje tamničke haljine i jeo s kraljem za istim stolom svega svoga vijeka.
30 and for his allowance, there was a continual allowance given him from the king, every day a portion, all the days of his life.
Do kraja njegova života babilonski mu je kralj trajno, iz dana u dan, davao uzdržavanje.
