< 2 Chronicles 36 >
1 Then the people of the land took Joachaz the son of Josias, and made him king instead of his father in Jerusalem.
Tada priprosti puk uze Jošijina sina Joahaza i zakralji ga u Jeruzalemu namjesto njegova oca.
2 Joachaz was three and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.
Dvadeset i tri godine bile su Joahazu kad se zakraljio. Kraljevao je tri mjeseca u Jeruzalemu.
3 And the king of Egypt came to Jerusalem, and deposed him, and condemned the land in a hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.
Svrgao ga je egipatski kralj u Jeruzalemu i udario na zemlju danak od sto srebrnih talenata i jedan zlatni talenat.
4 And he made Eliakim his brother king in his stead, over Juda and Jerusalem: and he turned his name to Joakim: but he took Joachaz with him, and carried him away into Egypt.
Egipatski kralj postavi za kralja nad Judejom i nad Jeruzalemom njegova brata Elijakima, promijenivši mu ime na Jojakim; njegova je brata Joahaza uzeo Neko i odveo u Egipat.
5 Joakim was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and he did evil before the Lord his God.
Dvadeset je i pet godina bilo Jojakimu kad se zakraljio. Kraljevao je jedanaest godina u Jeruzalemu; činio je što je zlo u očima Jahve, njegova Boga.
6 Against him came up Nabuchodonosor king of the Chaldeans, and led him bound in chains into Babylon.
Na nj je zaratio babilonski kralj Nabukodonozor i, svezavši ga u dvoje mjedene verige, odveo ga u Babilon.
7 And he carried also thither the vessels of the Lord, and put them in his temple.
Dio posuđa iz Jahvina Doma odnio je Nabukodonozor u Babilon i metnuo ga u svoj dvorac u Babilonu.
8 But the rest of the acts of Joakim, and his abominations, which he wrought, and the things that were found in him, are contained in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel. And Joachin his son reigned in his stead.
Ostala Jojakimova djela i gnusobe koje je činio i što se na njemu našlo, sve je zapisano u Knjizi o izraelskim i judejskim kraljevima. Na njegovo se mjesto zakraljio sin mu Jojakin.
9 Joachin was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem, and he did evil in the sight of the Lord.
Osam je godina bilo Jojakinu kad se zakraljio, a kraljevao je tri mjeseca i deset dana u Jeruzalemu; činio je što je zlo u Jahvinim očima.
10 And at the return of the year, king Nabuchodonosor sent, and brought him to Babylon, carrying away at the same time the most precious vessels of the house of the Lord: and he made Sedecias his uncle king over Juda and Jerusalem.
O godišnjoj je mijeni poslao kralj Nabukodonozor te su ga odveli u Babilon s dragocjenostima iz Jahvina Doma, a nad Judom i nad Jeruzalemom zakraljio je njegova rođaka Sidkiju.
11 Sedecias was one and twenty years old when he began to reign: and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.
Dvadeset je i jedna godina bila Sidkiji kad se zakraljio, a kraljevao je jedanaest godina u Jeruzalemu.
12 And he did evil in the eyes of the Lord his God, and did not reverence the face of Jeremias the prophet speaking to him from the mouth of the Lord.
Činio je što je zlo u očima Jahve, njegova Boga; nije se ponizio pred prorokom Jeremijom, koji mu je govorio iz Jahvinih usta,
13 He also revolted from king Nabuchodonosor, who had made him swear by God: and he hardened his neck and his heart, from returning to the Lord the God of Israel.
nego se još i pobunio protiv kralja Nabukodonozora, koji ga bijaše zakleo Bogom; ostao je tvrdoglav i uporan u srcu da se ne obrati Jahvi, Bogu Izraelovu.
14 Moreover all the chief of the priests, and the people wickedly transgressed according to all the abominations of the Gentiles: and they defiled the house of the Lord, which he had sanctified to himself in Jerusalem.
Pa i svi su svećenički poglavari i narod gomilali nevjeru na nevjeru slijedeći gnusna djela krivobožačkih naroda, oskvrnjujući Dom Jahvin, posvećen u Jeruzalemu.
15 And the Lord the God of their fathers sent to them, by the hand of his messengers, rising early, and daily admonishing them: because he spared his people and his dwelling place.
Jahve, Bog njihovih otaca, slao je k njima zarana svoje glasnike, slao ih svejednako, jer mu bijaše žao svojega naroda i svojega Prebivališta.
16 But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused the prophets, until the wrath of the Lord arose against his people, and there was no remedy.
Ali su se oni rugali Božjim glasnicima, prezirući njegove riječi i podsmjehujući se njegovim prorocima, dok se nije podigla Jahvina jarost na njegov narod te više nije bilo lijeka.
17 For he brought upon them the king of the Chaldeans, and he slew their young men with the sword in the house of his sanctuary, he had no compassion on young man, or maiden, old man or even him that stooped for age, but he delivered them all into his hands.
Doveo je na njih kaldejskoga kralja, koji okrenu pod mač njihove mladiće u domu njihova Svetišta, ne štedeći ni mladića ni djevojke, ni starca ni nemoćna. Sve mu je predao u ruke.
18 And all the vessels of the house of the Lord, great and small, and the treasures of the temple and of the king, and of the princes he carried away to Babylon.
Sve posuđe Božjega Doma, veliko i malo, blago Jahvina Doma i kraljevo blago, blago njegovih knezova, sve je odnio u Babilon.
19 And the enemies set fire to the house of God, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem, burnt all the towers, and whatsoever was precious they destroyed.
Spalili su Božji Dom, oborili jeruzalemski zid i sve su njegove dragocjenosti uništili.
20 Whosoever escaped the sword, was led into Babylon, and there served the king and his sons till the reign of the king of Persia.
One što izbjegoše maču odvede Nabukodonozor u Babilon u sužanjstvo. Postali su robovi njemu i njegovim sinovima, dokle nije nastalo perzijsko kraljevstvo.
21 That the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremias might be fulfilled, and the land might keep her sabbaths: for all the days of the desolation she kept a sabbath, till the seventy years were expired.
Da bi se ispunila riječ koju Jahve reče na Jeremijina usta: “Dokle se zemlja ne oduži svojim subotama, počivat će za sve vrijeme u pustoši dok se ne ispuni sedamdeset godina.”
22 But in the first year of Cyrus king of the Persians, to fulfill the word of the Lord, which he had spoken by the mouth of Jeremias, the Lord stirred up the heart of Cyrus king of the Persians who commanded it to be proclaimed through all his kingdom, and by writing also, saying:
Ali prve godine perzijskoga kralja Kira, da bi se ispunila riječ Jahvina objavljena na Jeremijina usta, podiže Jahve duh perzijskoga kralja Kira te on oglasi po svemu svojem kraljevstvu usmeno i pismeno:
23 Thus saith Cyrus king of the Persians: All the kingdoms of the earth hath the Lord the God of heaven given to me, and he hath charged me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judea: who is there among you of all his people? The Lord his God be with him, and let him go up.
“Ovako veli perzijski kralj Kir: 'Sva zemaljska kraljevstva dade mi Jahve, Bog nebeski. On mi naloži da mu sagradim Dom u Jeruzalemu, u Judeji. Tko je god među vama od svega njegova naroda, Bog njegov bio s njim, pa neka ide onamo!'”
