2 Kings 24
1 In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant three years. Then he turned 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 Yahweh sent against him bands of the Chaldeans, bands of the Syrians, bands of the Moabites, and bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to Yahweh’s word which he spoke by 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 Surely at the commandment of Yahweh this came on Judah, to remove them out of his sight for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did,
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 shed; for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and Yahweh 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 Jehoiakim, and all that he did, aren’t they 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 So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers, and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place.
Jojakim je počinuo kraj svojih otaca, a njegov sin Jojakin zavlada mjesto njega.
7 The king of Egypt didn’t come out of his land any more; for the king of Babylon had taken, from the brook of Egypt to the river Euphrates, all that belonged 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 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. His mother’s name was Nehushta 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 He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, according to all 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 king of Babylon came up to Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.
U ono vrijeme krenu ljudstvo babilonskog kralja Nabukodonozora protiv Jeruzalema i grad je bio opkoljen.
11 Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to the city while his servants were besieging it,
Dođe i babilonski kralj Nabukodonozor da napadne grad, dok ga je njegovo ljudstvo opsjedalo.
12 and Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon—he, his mother, his servants, his princes, and his officers; and the king of Babylon captured him 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 He carried out from there all the treasures of Yahweh’s house and the treasures of the king’s house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold which Solomon king of Israel had made in Yahweh’s temple, as Yahweh had said.
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 He carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valor, even ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and the smiths. No one remained except the poorest 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 He carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, with the king’s mother, the king’s wives, his officers, and the chief men of the land. He carried them into captivity 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 All the men of might, even seven thousand, and the craftsmen and the smiths one thousand, all of them strong and fit for war, even them the king of Babylon brought captive 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 The king of Babylon made Mattaniah, Jehoiachin’s father’s brother, king in his place, 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 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hamutal 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 He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
Činio je što je zlo u očima Jahvinim, sve kao što je činio Jojakin.
20 For through the anger of Yahweh, this happened in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence. Then 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.
