< 2 Kings 25 >
1 Now in the ninth year of his rule, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came against Jerusalem with all his army and took up his position before it, building earthworks all round the town.
V devetem letu njegovega kraljevanja, v desetem mesecu, na deseti dan meseca se je pripetilo, da je prišel babilonski kralj Nebukadnezar, on in vsa njegova vojska, zoper Jeruzalem in so se utaborili zoper njega in vsenaokrog so zoper njega zgradili bojne stolpe.
2 And the town was shut in by their forces till the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.
In mesto je bilo oblegano do enajstega leta kralja Sedekíja.
3 Now on the ninth day of the fourth month, the store of food in the town was almost gone, so that there was no food for the people of the land.
Na deveti dan četrtega meseca je lakota prevladala v mestu in tam ni bilo kruha za ljudstvo dežele.
4 So an opening was made in the wall of the town, and all the men of war went in flight by night through the doorway between the two walls which was by the king's garden; (now the Chaldaeans were stationed round the town: ) and the king went by the way of the Arabah.
Mesto je bilo predrto in vsi bojevniki so ponoči zbežali po poti velikih vrat med dvema zidovoma, kar je ob kraljevem vrtu (Kaldejci so bili zoper mesto vsenaokoli) in kralj je odšel po poti proti ravnini.
5 But the Chaldaean army went after the king, and overtook him in the lowlands of Jericho, and all his army went in flight from him in every direction.
Kaldejska vojska je zasledovala kralja in ga dohitela na ravninah Jerihe in vsa njegova vojska se je razbežala proč od njega.
6 And they made the king a prisoner and took him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah to be judged.
Tako so vzeli kralja in ga privedli gor k babilonskemu kralju v Riblo in nad njim izrekli sodbo.
7 And they put the sons of Zedekiah to death before his eyes, and then they put out his eyes, and chaining him with iron bands, took him to Babylon.
Pred njegovimi očmi so usmrtili Sedekíjeve sinove in Sedekíju iztaknili oči, ga zvezali z okovi iz brona in ga odvedli v Babilon.
8 Now in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, a servant of the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem;
V petem mesecu, na sedmi dan meseca, kar je devetnajsto leto babilonskega kralja Nebukadnezarja, je prišel Nebuzaradán, poveljnik straže, služabnik babilonskega kralja, do Jeruzalema.
9 And he had the house of the Lord and the king's house and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, burned with fire;
Požgal je Gospodovo hišo, kraljevo hišo, vse jeruzalemske hiše in hišo vsakega velikega človeka je požgal z ognjem.
10 And the walls round Jerusalem were broken down by the Chaldaean army which was with the captain.
In vsa vojska Kaldejcev, ki je bila s poveljnikom straže, je naokoli porušila jeruzalemske zidove.
11 And the rest of the people who were still in the town, and all those who had given themselves up to the king of Babylon, and all the rest of the workmen, Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, took away as prisoners;
Torej ostanek ljudstva, ki so ostali v mestu in ubežnike, ki so s preostankom množice pobegnili proč k babilonskemu kralju, je Nebuzaradán, poveljnik straže, odvedel proč.
12 But he let the poorest of the land go on living there, to take care of the vines and the fields.
Toda poveljnik straže je pustil revne iz dežele, da bi bili obrezovalci trte in poljedelci.
13 And the brass pillars in the house of the Lord, and the wheeled bases, and the great brass water-vessel in the house of the Lord, were broken up by the Chaldaeans, who took the brass to Babylon.
Bronasta stebra, ki sta bila v Gospodovi hiši, podstavke in bronasto morje, ki je bilo v Gospodovi hiši, so Kaldejci razbili na koščke in bron od tega odnesli v Babilon.
14 And the pots and the spades and the scissors for the lights and the spoons, and all the brass vessels used in the Lord's house, they took away.
Lonce, lopate, utrinjala, žlice in vse posode iz brona, s katerimi so služili, so odnesli proč.
15 And the fire-trays and the basins; the gold of the gold vessels and the silver of the silver vessels, were all taken away by the captain of the armed men.
Ponve za žerjavico, skledice in takšne stvari, ki so bile zlate v zlatu in srebrne v srebru, je poveljnik straže odnesel proč.
16 The two pillars, the great water-vessel and the wheeled bases, which Solomon had made for the house of the Lord: the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
Dva stebra, eno morje in podstavke, ki jih je Salomon naredil za Gospodovo hišo. Brona vseh teh posod je bilo brez teže.
17 One of the pillars was eighteen cubits high, with a crown of brass on it; the crown was three cubits high, circled with a network and apples all of brass; and the second pillar had the same.
Višina enega stebra je bila osemnajst komolcev in kapitel na njem je bil iz brona. Višina kapitela tri komolce, in spleteno delo in granatna jabolka na kapitelu naokoli vsa iz brona. Podobno tem je imel drugi steber s pletenim delom.
18 And the captain of the armed men took Seraiah, the chief priest, and Zephaniah, the second priest, and the three door-keepers;
Poveljnik straže je vzel Serajája, vélikega duhovnika in Cefanjája, drugega duhovnika in tri čuvaje vrat
19 And from the town he took the unsexed servant who was over the men of war, and five of the king's near friends who were in the town, and the scribe of the captain of the army, who was responsible for getting the people of the land together in military order, and sixty men of the people of the land who were in the town.
in iz mesta je vzel častnika, ki je bil postavljen nad bojevniki in pet mož izmed tistih, ki so bili v kraljevi prisotnosti, ki so bili najdeni v mestu in glavnega pisarja vojske, ki je nabiral ljudstvo dežele in šestdeset mož izmed ljudstva dežele, ki so bili najdeni v mestu.
20 These Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, took with him to the king of Babylon at Riblah.
Nebuzaradán, poveljnik straže, je te vzel in jih privedel k babilonskemu kralju v Riblo
21 And the king of Babylon put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was taken away prisoner from his land.
in babilonski kralj jih je udaril in jih usmrtil v Ribli, v Hamátovi deželi. Tako je bil Juda odveden proč iz svoje dežele.
22 As for the people who were still living in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, did not take away, he made Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, ruler over them.
Glede ljudstva, ki je preostalo v Judovi deželi, ki jih je babilonski kralj Nebukadnezar pustil, celo nad njimi je postavil Gedaljája, sina Ahikáma, sina Šafána, vladarja.
23 Now the captains of the armed forces, hearing that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah ruler, came with their men to Gedaliah at Mizpah; Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan, the son of Kareah, and Seraiah, the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah, the son of the Maacathite, came with all their men.
Ko so vsi poveljniki vojsk, oni in njihovi možje, slišali, da je babilonski kralj postavil Gedaljája za voditelja, so prišli h Gedaljáju v Micpo. Celo Netanjájev sin Jišmaél, Karéahov sin Johanán, Serajá, sin Tanhúmeta Netófčana in Maahčánov sin Jaazanjá, oni in njihovi možje.
24 Then Gedaliah gave his oath to them and their men, saying, Have no fear because of the servants of the Chaldaeans; go on living in the land under the rule of the king of Babylon, and all will be well.
Gedaljá je prisegel njim in njihovim možem ter jim rekel: »Ne bojte se biti služabniki Kaldejcem. Prebivajte v deželi in služite babilonskemu kralju in z vami bo dobro.«
25 But in the seventh month, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the king's seed, came with ten men and made an attack on Gedaliah, causing his death and the death of the Jews and the Chaldaeans who were with him at Mizpah.
Toda pripetilo se je v sedmem mesecu, da je prišel Jišmaél, Netanjájev sin, Elišamájev sin, iz kraljevega semena in deset mož z njim in udaril Gedaljája, da je umrl in Jude in Kaldejce, ki so bili z njim v Micpi.
26 Then all the people, small and great, and the captains of the forces, got up and went away to Egypt, for fear of the Chaldaeans.
Vse ljudstvo, tako mali kakor veliki in poveljniki vojsk, so vstali in prišli v Egipt, kajti bali so se Kaldejcev.
27 And in the thirty-seventh year after Jehoiachin, king of Judah, had been taken prisoner, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, Evil-merodach, king of Babylon, in the first year of his rule, took Jehoiachin, king of Judah, out of prison;
Pripetilo se je v sedemintridesetem letu ujetništva Judovega kralja Jojahína, v dvanajstem mesecu, na sedemindvajseti dan meseca, da je babilonski kralj Evíl Merodáh, v letu, ko je začel kraljevati, povzdignil glavo Judovega kralja Jojahína iz ječe
28 And said kind words to him, and put his seat higher than the seats of the other kings who were with him in Babylon.
in prijazno govoril z njim in njegov prestol postavil nad prestol kraljev, ki so bili z njim v Babilonu
29 And his prison clothing was changed, and he was a guest at the king's table every day for the rest of his life.
in zamenjal njegove jetniške obleke in on je nenehno jedel kruh pred njim, vse dni svojega življenja.
30 And for his food, the king gave him a regular amount every day for the rest of his life.
Njegova renta mu je bila dana od kralja, nenehna renta, dnevna mera za vsak dan, vse dni njegovega življenja.
