< 2 Chronicles 36 >
1 The people of the land took Jehoahaz, son of Josiah, and made him king in Jerusalem in succession to his father.
Tada priprosti puk uze Jošijina sina Joahaza i zakralji ga u Jeruzalemu namjesto njegova oca.
2 Jehoahaz was twenty-three when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for three months.
Dvadeset i tri godine bile su Joahazu kad se zakraljio. Kraljevao je tri mjeseca u Jeruzalemu.
3 Then the king of Egypt removed him from the throne in Jerusalem and imposed a tax on Judah of 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 Neco, king of Egypt, made Eliakim, Jehoahaz's brother, king over Judah and Jerusalem, and he changed Eliakim's name to Jehoiakim. Neco took Eliakim's brother Jehoahaz back with him to 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 Jehoiakim was twenty-five when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for eleven years. He did evil in the sight of 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 Then Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, attacked Jehoiakim. He captured him and put bronze shackles on him, and brought him to Babylon.
Na nj je zaratio babilonski kralj Nabukodonozor i, svezavši ga u dvoje mjedene verige, odveo ga u Babilon.
7 Nebuchadnezzar also took some items from the Lord's Temple, and he put them in his temple in Babylon.
Dio posuđa iz Jahvina Doma odnio je Nabukodonozor u Babilon i metnuo ga u svoj dvorac u Babilonu.
8 The rest of what Jehoiakim, the disgusting sins he committed, and all the evidence against him, are written down in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah. His son Jehoiachin took over as king.
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 Jehoiachin was eighteen when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for three months and ten days. He did evil in the Lord's sight.
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 In the spring of the year, King Nebuchadnezzar summoned him and brought him to Babylon, along with valuable items from the Lord's Temple, and he made Jehoiachin's uncle Zedekiah king over Judah 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 Zedekiah was twenty-one when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for eleven years.
Dvadeset je i jedna godina bila Sidkiji kad se zakraljio, a kraljevao je jedanaest godina u Jeruzalemu.
12 He did evil in the sight of the Lord his God, and he refused to admit his pride when the prophet Jeremiah warned him directly from 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 rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear an oath of loyalty by God. Zedekiah was arrogant and hard-hearted, and refused to come back 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 All the leaders of the priests and the people were also totally faithless and sinful, following all the disgusting practices of the heathen nations. They defiled the Lord's Temple that he had set apart as holy 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 Again and again the Lord, the God of their fathers, warned his people through his prophets, because he wanted to show mercy to them and to his Temple.
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 ridiculed God's messengers, they despised his warnings and mocked his prophets, until the Lord's anger against his people was provoked to such an extent it couldn't be stopped.
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 So the Lord brought the king of Babylon to attack them. His army killed by the sword their best young men even in the sanctuary. The Babylonians did not spare young men or young women, the sick or the elderly. God handed them all over to Nebuchadnezzar.
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 He took back to Babylon all the articles, large and small, from God's Temple, and from the Temple treasury, and from the king and from his officials.
Sve posuđe Božjega Doma, veliko i malo, blago Jahvina Doma i kraljevo blago, blago njegovih knezova, sve je odnio u Babilon.
19 Then the Babylonians burned down God's Temple and demolished Jerusalem's walls. They set fire to all the palaces and destroyed everything that had any value.
Spalili su Božji Dom, oborili jeruzalemski zid i sve su njegove dragocjenosti uništili.
20 Nebuchadnezzar took into exile in Babylon those who had not been killed. They were slaves for himself and his sons, until the kingdom of Persia took over.
One što izbjegoše maču odvede Nabukodonozor u Babilon u sužanjstvo. Postali su robovi njemu i njegovim sinovima, dokle nije nastalo perzijsko kraljevstvo.
21 So to fulfill the Lord's prophecy given through Jeremiah, the land enjoyed its Sabbaths as rest all the time it was left desolate, keeping the Sabbath until seventy years were completed.
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 In the first year of Cyrus, king of Persia, to fulfill the Lord's prophecy given through Jeremiah, the Lord encouraged Cyrus, king of Persia, to issue a proclamation throughout his kingdom and also to put it in writing, 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 “This is what Cyrus king of Persia says: ‘The Lord, the God of heaven, who has given to me all the kingdoms of the earth, has given me the responsibility to build a Temple for him at Jerusalem in Judah. Anyone among you who belongs to his people can go there. May the Lord your God be with you.’”
“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!'”
