2 Kings 25
1 On January 15 of the ninth year that Zedekiah had been ruling, King Nebuchadnezzar arrived with his whole army, and they surrounded Jerusalem. They built ramps [made of dirt against the walls of the city], so that they could climb up the ramps and attack the city.
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 They did that for two years.
In mesto je bilo oblegano do enajstega leta kralja Sedekíja.
3 After Zedekiah had been ruling for eleven years, the (famine/shortage of food) had become very bad. All their food was gone.
Na deveti dan četrtega meseca je lakota prevladala v mestu in tam ni bilo kruha za ljudstvo dežele.
4 On July 18 of that year, the Babylonian soldiers broke through part of the city wall, [and that enabled them to enter the city]. All the soldiers of Judah [wanted to escape]. But the Babylonian soldiers surrounded the city, so the [king and] the soldiers of Judah waited until it was nighttime. Then they fled through the gate that was between the two walls near the king’s park. They ran across the fields and started to go down to the Jordan [River] Valley.
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 Babylonian soldiers chased/ran after them. They caught the king when he was by himself in the valley near the Jordan River. He was by himself because all his soldiers had abandoned him.
Kaldejska vojska je zasledovala kralja in ga dohitela na ravninah Jerihe in vsa njegova vojska se je razbežala proč od njega.
6 The Babylonian soldiers took King Zedekiah to Riblah [city] in Babylon. There the king of Babylon decided what they would do to punish him.
Tako so vzeli kralja in ga privedli gor k babilonskemu kralju v Riblo in nad njim izrekli sodbo.
7 There the king of Babylon forced Zedekiah to watch as the Babylonian soldiers killed all of Zedekiah’s sons. Then they gouged out Zedekiah’s eyes. They put bronze chains on [his hands and feet] and then they 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 On August 14 of that year, after Nebuchadnezzar had been ruling for 19 years, Nebuzaradan arrived in Jerusalem. He was one of king Nebuchadnezzar’s officials and captain of the men that guarded the king.
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 He [commanded his soldiers to] burn down the temple of Yahweh, the king’s palace, and all the houses in Jerusalem. So they burned down all the important buildings in the city.
Požgal je Gospodovo hišo, kraljevo hišo, vse jeruzalemske hiše in hišo vsakega velikega človeka je požgal z ognjem.
10 Then Nebuzaradan supervised all the soldiers of the Babylonian army as they tore down the walls of Jerusalem.
In vsa vojska Kaldejcev, ki je bila s poveljnikom straže, je naokoli porušila jeruzalemske zidove.
11 Then he and his soldiers took to Babylon the people who were still living in the city, the other people [who lived in that area], and the soldiers who had previously surrendered to the Babylonian army.
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 Nebuzaradan allowed some of the very poor people to stay in Judah to take care of the vineyards and [to plant crops in] the fields.
Toda poveljnik straže je pustil revne iz dežele, da bi bili obrezovalci trte in poljedelci.
13 The Babylonian soldiers broke into pieces the bronze pillars, the bronze carts with wheels, and the huge bronze basin, all of which were in the temple courtyard, and they took all the bronze 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 They also took the pots, the shovels, the instruments for (snuffing out/extinguishing) [the wicks of] the lamps, the dishes, and all the other bronze items that the Israeli priests had used for offering sacrifices at the temple.
Lonce, lopate, utrinjala, žlice in vse posode iz brona, s katerimi so služili, so odnesli proč.
15 The soldiers also took away the (firepans/trays for carrying burning coals), the basins, and [all the other] items made of pure gold or pure silver.
Ponve za žerjavico, skledice in takšne stvari, ki so bile zlate v zlatu in srebrne v srebru, je poveljnik straže odnesel proč.
16 The bronze from the two pillars, the carts with wheels, and the huge basin were very heavy; they could not be weighed. (Those things had been made/A man named Hiram had made these things) for the temple when Solomon [was the king of Israel].
Dva stebra, eno morje in podstavke, ki jih je Salomon naredil za Gospodovo hišo. Brona vseh teh posod je bilo brez teže.
17 Each of the pillars was (27 feet/8 meters) tall. The bronze capital/top of each pillar was (7-1/2 feet/2.3 meters) high. They were each decorated all around with something that looked like a net made of bronze chains connecting bronze pomegranates.
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 Nebuzaradan took with him to Babylon Seraiah the Supreme Priest, Zephaniah his assistant, and the three men who guarded the entrance [to the temple].
Poveljnik straže je vzel Serajája, vélikega duhovnika in Cefanjája, drugega duhovnika in tri čuvaje vrat
19 And they found people who were still hiding in Jerusalem. From those people he took one officer from the Judean army, five of the king’s advisors, the chief secretary of the army commander who was in charge of recruiting men to join the army, and 60 other important Judean men.
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 Nebuzaradan took them all to the king of Babylon at Riblah [city].
Nebuzaradán, poveljnik straže, je te vzel in jih privedel k babilonskemu kralju v Riblo
21 There at Riblah, in Hamath province, the king of Babylon commanded that they all be executed. That is what happened when the people of Judah were (taken forcefully/exiled) from their land [to Babylon].
in babilonski kralj jih je udaril in jih usmrtil v Ribli, v Hamátovi deželi. Tako je bil Juda odveden proč iz svoje dežele.
22 Then King Nebuchadnezzar appointed Gedaliah, who was the son of Ahikam and grandson of Shaphan, to be the governor of the people who were still living in Judah.
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 When all the army captains of Judah and their soldiers who had not surrendered to Nebuchadnezzar found out that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedaliah to be the governor, they met with him at Mizpah [town]. These army captains were Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, Johanan the son of Kareah, Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth from Netophah [town], and Jaazaniah from the Maacah region.
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 Gedaliah solemnly promised them [that the officials from Babylon were not planning to harm them]. He said, “You may live in this land [without being afraid] and serve the king of Babylon, and [if you do], everything will go well for you.”
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 October of that year, Ishmael, whose grandfather Elishama was one of the relatives of the descendants of King David, went to Mizpah along with ten other men and assassinated/killed Gedaliah and all the men who were with him. There were also men from Judah and men from Babylon whom they assassinated.
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 many [HYP] of the people from Judah, important people and unimportant ones, and the army captains, were very afraid of [what] the Babylonians [would do to them], so they fled to Egypt.
Vse ljudstvo, tako mali kakor veliki in poveljniki vojsk, so vstali in prišli v Egipt, kajti bali so se Kaldejcev.
27 Thirty-seven years after King Jehoiachin of Judah was taken to Babylon, [Nebuchadnezzar’s son] Evil-Merodach became the king of Babylon. He was kind to Jehoiachin, and on April 2 of that year, he released/freed Jehoiachin from 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 He always spoke kindly to Jehoiachin and honored him more than the other kings who had been taken/exiled to Babylon.
in prijazno govoril z njim in njegov prestol postavil nad prestol kraljev, ki so bili z njim v Babilonu
29 He gave Jehoiachin new clothes to replace the clothes that he had been wearing in prison, and he allowed Jehoiachin to eat 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 The king of Babylon also gave him money every day, so that he could buy the things that he needed. The king continued to do that until Jehoiachin died.
Njegova renta mu je bila dana od kralja, nenehna renta, dnevna mera za vsak dan, vse dni njegovega življenja.
