Kings IV 25
1 And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, [that] Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came, and all his host, against Jerusalem; and he encamped against it, and built a mound against 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 And the city was besieged until the eleventh year of king Sedekias on the ninth day of the month.
Grad osta opkoljen do jedanaeste godine Sidkijina kraljevanja.
3 And the famine prevailed in the city, and 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 And the city was broken up, and all the men of war went forth by night, by the way of the gate between the walls, this is [the gate] of the king's garden: and the Chaldeans [were set] against the city round about: and [the king] went by the way of the plain.
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 And the force of the Chaldeans pursued the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all his army was dispersed from about him.
Kaldejske čete nagnuše u potjeru za kraljem i sustigoše ga na Jerihonskim poljanama, a sva se njegova vojska razbježala.
6 And they took the king, and brought him to the king of Babylon to Reblatha; and he gave judgement upon him.
Kaldejci uhvatiše kralja i odvedoše ga u Riblu pred kralja babilonskog, koji mu izreče presudu.
7 And he killed the sons of Sedekias before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Sedekias, and bound him in fetters, and brought him to Babylon.
Sidkijine sinove pokla pred njegovim očima, Sidkiji iskopa oči, okova ga verigama i odvede u Babilon.
8 And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month (this [is] the nineteenth year of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon), came Nabuzardan, captain of the guard, who stood before the king of Babylon, 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 And he burnt the house of the Lord, and the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every house did the captain of the guard burn.
On zapali Dom Jahvin, kraljevski dvor i sve kuće u Jeruzalemu.
10 And the force of the Chaldeans pulled down the wall of Jerusalem round about.
Kaldejske čete, pod zapovjednikom kraljevske tjelesne straže, razoriše zidine koje su okruživale Jeruzalem.
11 And Nabuzardan the captain of the guard removed the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the men who had deserted to the king of Babylon, and 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 of the poor of the land to be vine-dressers and husbandmen.
Neke od malih ljudi ostavi zapovjednik u zemlji kao vinogradare i ratare.
13 And the Chaldeans broke to 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 carried their brass 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 And the cauldrons, and the shovels, and the bowls, and the censers, and all the brazen vessels with which they minister, he took.
Uzeše i lonce, lopate, noževe, posudice i uopće sav tučani pribor koji se upotrebljavao za bogoslužja.
15 And the captain of the guard took the fire-pans, and the gold and silver bowls.
Zapovjednik uze i kadionice i škropionice, uopće sve što bijaše od zlata i srebra,
16 Two pillars, and one sea, and the bases which Solomon made for the house of the Lord: there was no weight of the brass of all the vessels.
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 one pillar [was] eighteen cubits, and the chapiter upon it was of brass: and the height of the chapiter was three cubits: the border, and the pomegranates on the chapiter round about were all of brass: and so it was with the second pillar with its border.
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 And the captain of the guard took Saraias the high-priest, and Sophonias the second in order, and the three doorkeepers.
Zapovjednik straže odveo je svećeničkog poglavara Seraju, drugog svećenika, Sefaniju, i tri čuvara praga.
19 And they took out of the city one eunuch who was commander of the men of war, and five men that saw the face of the king, that were found in the city, and the secretary of the commander-in-chief, who took account of the people of the land, and sixty men of the people of the land that 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 And Nabuzardan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Reblatha.
Zapovjednik kraljevske tjelesne straže Nebuzaradan odvede ih pred kralja babilonskoga u Riblu.
21 And the king of Babylon struck them and killed them at Reblatha in the land of Aemath. So Juda was carried away from his land.
I kralj babilonski zapovjedi da ih pogube u Ribli, u zemlji hamatskoj. Tako su judejski narod odveli s njegove rodne grude.
22 And [as for] the people that were left in the land of Juda, whom Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon left, even over them he set Godolias son of Achicam son of Saphan.
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 And all the captains of the host, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had [thus] appointed Godolias, and they came to Godolias to Massephath, both Ismael the son of Nathanias, and Jona son of Careth, and Saraias, son of Thanamath the Netophathite, and Jezonias son of a Machathite, 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 And Godolias swore to them and their men, and said to them, Fear not the incursion of the Chaldeans; dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall 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 And it came to pass in the seventh month [that] Ismael son of Nathanias son of Helisama, of the seed royal, came, and ten men with him, and he struck Godolias, that he died, [him] and the Jews and the Chaldeans that were with him in Massepha.
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 And all the people, great and small rose up, [they] and the captains of the forces, and went into Egypt; because 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 And it came to pass in the thirty-seventh year of the carrying away of Joachim king of Juda, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, [that] Evialmarodec king of Babylon in the [first] year of his reign lifted up the head of Joachim king of Juda, and brought him out of his prison-house.
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 thrones of the kings that 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: and he ate bread continually before him all the days of his life.
Jojakin je odložio svoje tamničke haljine i jeo s kraljem za istim stolom svega svoga vijeka.
30 And his portion, a continual portion, was given him out of the house of the king, a daily rate for every day all the days of his life.
Do kraja njegova života babilonski mu je kralj trajno, iz dana u dan, davao uzdržavanje.
