2 Kings 24
1 In his days came up Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and Jehoyakim became his servant for three years: and then he returned and rebelled against him.
U njegovo je vrijeme došao Nabukodonozor, kralj babilonski, i Jojakim mu je bio podložan tri godine, zatim se ponovno pobunio protiv njega.
2 And the Lord sent against him predatory bands of the Chaldeans, and predatory bands of the Syrians, and predatory bands of the Moabites, and predatory bands of the children of 'Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of the Lord, which he had spoken by means of his servants the prophets.
Ovaj pak posla protiv njega kaldejske pljačkaške čete, aramejske, moapske i amonske, sve ih posla protiv Judeje da je opustoše, potvrđujući riječ koju je Jahve bio objavio po slugama svojim prorocima.
3 But only at the order of the Lord came this upon Judah, to remove the same out of his sight, for the sins of Menasseh, in accordance with all that he had done;
To se dogodilo Judeji prema prijetnji Jahvinoj da će je istrijebiti ispred svoga lica zbog grijeha Manašeovih: zbog svega što je Manaše učinio
4 And also for the innocent blood that he had shed; for he had filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; wherefore the Lord would not pardon.
i zbog nedužne krvi koju je prolio, natopio Jeruzalem krvlju nedužnom. Jahve nije htio oprostiti.
5 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoyakim, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah.
Ostala povijest Jojakimova i sve što je učinio, zar sve to nije zapisano u knjizi Ljetopisa judejskih kraljeva?
6 And Jehoyakim slept with his fathers: and Jehoyachin his son became king in his stead.
Jojakim je počinuo kraj svojih otaca, a njegov sin Jojakin zavlada mjesto njega.
7 And the king of Egypt came no more again out of his land; for the king of Babylon had taken from the brook of Egypt unto the river Euphrates all that had pertained to the king of Egypt.
Egipatski kralj nije više izlazio iz zemlje, jer je babilonski kralj osvojio od Egipatskog potoka do rijeke Eufrata sve što je pripadalo egipatskom kralju.
8 Eighteen years old was Jehoyachin when he became king, and three months did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Nechushta, the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.
Jojakinu je bilo osamnaest godina kad se zakraljio i kraljevao je tri mjeseca u Jeruzalemu. Materi mu je bilo ime Nehušta, kći Elnatana, i bila je iz Jeruzalema.
9 And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, all just as that his father had done.
On je činio što je zlo u očima Jahvinim, sve kao što je činio i njegov otac.
10 At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon came up against Jerusalem, and the city was put in a state of siege.
U ono vrijeme krenu ljudstvo babilonskog kralja Nabukodonozora protiv Jeruzalema i grad je bio opkoljen.
11 And Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon came against the city, while his servants were besieging it.
Dođe i babilonski kralj Nabukodonozor da napadne grad, dok ga je njegovo ljudstvo opsjedalo.
12 And Jehoyachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his princes, and his court-officers: and the king of Babylon took him [captive] in the eighth year of his reign.
Tada je judejski kralj Jojakin izišao pred babilonskoga kralja: on, njegova majka, njegove sluge, njegove vojskovođe i dvorani, a babilonski kralj zarobi ga - osme godine svoga kraljevanja.
13 And he carried out thence all the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king's house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold which Solomon the king of Israel had made in the temple of the Lord, as the Lord had spoken.
On je odnio sve iz riznice Doma Jahvina i iz riznica kraljevskog dvora i razbio je sve zlatne predmete koje je Salomon, kralj Izraela, načinio za Svetište Jahvino. Tako se ispunila riječ Jahvina.
14 And he led away as exiles all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valor, ten thousand exiles, and all the craftsmen and locksmiths: there was none left, save the poorest sort of the people of the land.
Odveo je u progonstvo sav Jeruzalem, sve vojskovođe i sve vrsne ratnike, oko deset tisuća prognanika, sa svim kovačima i bravarima. Jedino je preostao najsiromašniji narod zemlje.
15 And he led away Jehoyachin as exile to Babylon; and the king's mother, and the king's wives, and his court-officers, and the mighty men of the land, he led into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon.
Odveo je Jojakina u Babilon; tako isto i kraljevu majku i sve žene kraljeve, njegove dvorane, plemenitaše zemlje, sve ih je odveo iz Jeruzalema u progonstvo u Babilon.
16 And all the men of might, seven thousand [in number], and the craftsmen and the locksmiths a thousand [in number], all strong men, apt for war; and the king of Babylon brought them into exile to Babylon.
Sve sposobne ljude, njih sedam tisuća na broju; kovače i bravare, tisuću na broju; sve ljude sposobne za boj, sve ih je kralj babilonski odveo u Babilon, u sužanjstvo.
17 And the king of Babylon made Mattanyah his uncle king in his stead, and changed his name to Zedekiah.
Babilonski je kralj postavio za kralja mjesto Jojakina njegova strica Mataniju, ali mu je promijenio ime u Sidkija.
18 Twenty and one years old was Zedekiah when he became king, and eleven years did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Chamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
Sidkiji je bila dvadeset i jedna godina kad se zakraljio, a kraljevao je jedanaest godina u Jeruzalemu. Materi mu bijaše ime Hamitala, kći Jeremije, i bila je iz Libne.
19 And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, all just as Jehoyakim had done.
Činio je što je zlo u očima Jahvinim, sve kao što je činio Jojakin.
20 For through the anger of the Lord it occurred in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence, that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
To je zadesilo Jeruzalem i Judu zbog gnjeva Jahvina; Jahve ih napokon i odbaci ispred lica svoga. Sidkija se pobuni protiv babilonskog kralja.
