Jeremiah 52
1 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became the King [of Judah]. He ruled in Jerusalem for eleven years. His mother was Hamutal, the daughter of [a man named] Jeremiah from Libnah [town].
Sidkiji je bila dvadeset i jedna godina kad se zakraljio, a kraljevao je jedanaest godina u Jeruzalemu. Materi mu bijaše ime Hamitala, kćerka Jeremije, i bila je iz Libne.
2 Zedekiah did [many] things that Yahweh says are evil, like [his father] Jehoiakim had done.
Činio je što je zlo u očima Jahvinim, sve kao što je činio Jojakin.
3 [The events that are summarized here happened] because Yahweh was angry with [the people of] Jerusalem and [of other places in] Judah, and finally he (exiled them/forced them to go to other countries) [and said that he did not want to have anything to do with] them any more. Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
To je zadesilo Jeruzalem zbog gnjeva Jahvina; Jahve ih napokon i odbaci ispred lica svoga. Sidkija se pobunio protiv babilonskog kralja.
4 [So, ] on January 15, when Zedekiah had been ruling for almost nine years, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon led his entire army to attack Jerusalem. They surrounded the city and built dirt ramps up to the top of the city walls [to enable them to attack the city].
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.
5 They continued to surround Jerusalem until Zedekiah had been ruling for almost eleven years.
Grad osta opkoljen sve do jedanaeste godine Sidkijina kraljevanja.
6 When Zedekiah had been ruling for almost eleven years, by July 18 of that year, the (famine/lack of food) in the city had become very severe, and there was no [more] food for the people [to eat].
Devetoga dana četvrtoga mjeseca, kad je u gradu zavladala takva glad da priprosti puk nije imao ni kruha,
7 Then [the soldiers of Babylonia] broke through [a section of] the city wall, and all the [Israeli] soldiers fled. But because the city was surrounded by soldiers from Babylonia, [Zedekiah and the Israeli] soldiers [waited until] it became dark. Then they left the city through the gate between the two walls behind the king’s garden. Then they ran towards the Jordan River Valley.
neprijatelj provali u grad. Tada kralj i svi ratnici pobjegoše noću kroz vrata između dva zida nad Kraljevskim vrtom - Kaldejci bijahu opkolili grad - i krenuše putem prema Arabi.
8 But the soldiers of Babylonia pursued King Zedekiah, and they caught up with him on the plains near Jericho. [He was alone because] all his men had deserted him and had scattered.
Kaldejske čete nagnuše za njim u potjeru i sustigoše Sidkiju na Jerihonskim poljanama, a sva se njegova vojska razbježala.
9 The soldiers of Babylonia took him to the king of Babylon, who was at Riblah in the Hamath [region]. There the king of Babylon told [his soldiers what] they should do to punish Zedekiah.
I Kaldejci uhvatiše kralja i odvedoše ga u Riblu, u zemlji hamatskoj, pred kralja babilonskog, koji mu izreče presudu.
10 They forced Zedekiah to watch while they killed his sons and all the officials from Judah.
Pokla Sidkijine sinove pred njegovim očima, pobi u Ribli sve Judine knezove;
11 [Then] they gouged out Zedekiah’s eyes. They fastened him with bronze chains and took him to Babylon. They put him in a prison, and he remained there until the day that he died.
Sidkiji iskopa oči i okova ga verigama i odvede u Babilon, gdje ga je držao u tamnici sve do smrti njegove.
12 On August 17 of that year, which was when King Nebuchadnezzar had been ruling for almost 19 years, Nebuzaradan, who was the captain of the king’s bodyguards and one of the king’s officials, arrived in Jerusalem.
Desetoga dana petoga mjeseca - devetnaeste godine kraljevanja Nabukodonozora, kralja babilonskog - uđe u Jeruzalem Nebuzaradan, zapovjednik tjelesne straže.
13 He [commanded his soldiers to] burn down the temple of Yahweh, the king’s palace, and all the houses in Jerusalem. They [also] destroyed all the important buildings [in the city].
On zapali Dom Jahvin, kraljevski dvor i sve kuće u Jeruzalemu, osobito kuće uglednika;
14 Then he supervised the soldiers from Babylonia while they tore down the walls on all sides of Jerusalem.
kaldejske čete, pod zapovjednikom tjelesne straže, razoriše zidine oko Jeruzalema.
15 Then Nebuzaradan (forced to go/exiled) [to Babylon] some of the poorest people, those Israelis who had said they would support the king of Babylon, the rest of the craftsmen, and other people who had remained in Jerusalem.
Nebuzaradan, zapovjednik tjelesne straže, odvede u sužanjstvo ostatak naroda koji bijaše ostao u gradu, a tako i prebjege babilonskom kralju i ostalu svjetinu.
16 But Nebuzaradan allowed some of the very poor people to remain [in Judah] to take care of the vineyards and fields.
Neke od malih ljudi Nebuzaradan ostavi u zemlji kao vinogradare i ratare.
17 The soldiers from Babylonia broke [into pieces] the [huge] bronze pillars that were in front of the temple, and the [large] bronze water tank, and the [ten bronze water] carts, and they took all the bronze to Babylon.
Kaldejci razbiše tučane stupove u Domu Jahvinu, podnožja i mjedeno more u Domu Jahvinu, i tuč odniješe u Babilon.
18 They also took away the basins [for holding the ashes from the burned sacrifices], the shovels [for cleaning out the ashes], the tools for snuffing out the wicks of the lamps, the basins [for holding the blood of the sacrificed animals], the dishes [for incense], and all the [other] bronze items that were used when sacrifices were made at the temple.
Uzeše i lonce, lopate, noževe, posudice i uopće sav tučani pribor koji se upotrebljavao za bogoslužja.
19 Nebuzaradan also [told his soldiers to] take away the small bowls, the dishes for burning incense, the basins, pots, lampstands, bowls [for incense], and the bowls used for pouring out the wine offerings. They took all the other items that were made of pure gold or silver.
Zapovjednik uze i umivaonice, kadionice, škropionice, lonce, svijećnjake, zdjele, žrtvene pehare, uopće sve što bijaše od zlata i srebra,
20 The bronze from the two pillars, the [large water] tank and the twelve statues of oxen that were beneath it, and the water carts, was more/heavier than they could weigh. Those things had been made for the temple during the time that Solomon was the king.
dva stupa, jedno more i dvanaest tučanih volova pod morem, podnožja što je kralj Salomon dao izraditi za Dom Jahvin. Nije moguće procijeniti koliko je tuča bilo u svim tim predmetima.
21 Each of the pillars was (27 feet/8 meters) tall and (18 feet/5.5 meters) around. They were hollow, and each had sides/walls that were (3 in./8 cm.) thick.
Prvi stup bijaše visok osamnaest lakata - obuhvatiti ga je mogao konop od dvanaest lakata - bijaše četiri prsta debeo, a šupalj.
22 The bronze head on the top of each pillar was (7-1/2 feet/over 2 meters) high and was decorated all around with a bronze [network of figures that represented] pomegranates.
Imao je glavicu od tuča, visoku pet lakata; i obvijaše je oplet i mogranji, a sve od tuča. Takav je bio i drugi stup.
23 There was a total of 100 figures of pomegranates on the network at the top, 96 of which could be seen from the ground.
A devedeset i šest šipaka slobodno je visjelo. Sve u svemu bijaše oko sto šipaka u tom opletu.
24 When Nebuzaradan [returned to Babylon], he took [with him as prisoners] Seraiah the Supreme Priest, Zephaniah who was Seraiah’s deputy, and the three men who guarded the entrances [to the temple].
Zapovjednik je straže odveo svećeničkog poglavara Seraju, drugog svećenika, Sefaniju, i tri čuvara praga.
25 He found [some other] people who were [hiding] in the city. [So] from them he took a commander of the army [of Judah], seven of the king’s advisors, the army commander’s chief secretary who was in charge of recruiting [soldiers for the army], and 60 [other] soldiers.
Iz grada je odveo jednog dvorjanina, vojničkog zapovjednika, sedam ljudi iz kraljeve pratnje koji se zatekoše u gradu, pisara zapovjednika vojske koji je novačio puk te šezdeset pučana koji se također zatekoše u gradu.
26 Nebuzaradan took them all to the king of Babylon, [who was still] at Riblah.
Zapovjednik tjelesne straže Nebuzaradan odvede ih pred kralja babilonskog u Riblu.
27 There at Riblah in the Hamath region, the king of Babylon commanded that they [all] be executed. [Many of the people of] Judah were (forced to leave/exiled from) their own land.
I kralj babilonski zapovjedi da ih pogube u Ribli, u zemlji hamatskoj. Tako su judejski narod odveli s njegove rodne grude.
28 The number of people who were captured and sent to Babylon at that time, when Nebuchadnezzar had been ruling for almost seven years, was 3,023.
Evo broja ljudstva što ga Nabukodonozor odvede u sužanjstvo: sedme godine tri tisuće i dvadeset tri Judejca;
29 Then, when he had been ruling for almost 18 years, his [soldiers] took 832 [more Israeli people to Babylonia].
osamnaeste godine Nabukodonozorove osamsto trideset i dvije osobe iz Jeruzalema;
30 When he had been ruling almost 23 years, he sent Nebuzaradan [to Jerusalem again], and he brought back 745 [more Israelis to Babylonia]. That was a total of 4,600 Israelis [who were taken to Babylonia].
dvadeset i treće godine Nabukodonozorove, Nebuzaradan, zapovjednik tjelesne straže, odvede sedam stotina četrdeset i pet Judejaca. U svemu: četiri tisuće i šest stotona osoba.
31 After King Jehoiachin of Judah had been in prison [in Babylon] for almost thirty-seven years, Evil-Merodach became the king of Babylon. He was kind to Jehoiachin and ordered that he be released from prison. That was on March 31 of the year that Evil-Merodach became king.
A trideset i sedme godine otkako je zasužnjen judejski kralj Jojakin, dvadeset i petoga dana dvanaestoga mjeseca, babilonski kralj Evil Merodak u prvoj godini svoje vladavine pomilova judejskoga kralja Jojakina i pusti ga iz tamnice.
32 He [always] spoke kindly to Jehoiachin and gave him a position in which he was honored more than [all] the other kings [who had been exiled/taken to Babylon].
Ljubezno je s njim razgovarao i stolicu mu postavio više nego drugim kraljevima koji bijahu s njim u Babilonu.
33 He [supplied new clothes] for Jehoiachin, to replace the clothes that he had been wearing in prison. [He also allowed] Jehoiachin to eat with him every day, all during the rest of his life.
Jojakin je odložio svoje tamničke haljine i jeo s kraljem za istim stolom svega svoga vijeka.
34 Every day, the King [of Babylon] gave him some money [to buy the things that he needed. That continued] until the day that Jehoiachin died.
Do kraja njegova života, sve do smrti, babilonski mu je kralj trajno, iz dana u dan, davao uzdržavanje.
