Otra Ķēniņu 25
1 Un notikās viņa valdības devītajā gadā desmitā mēnesi, desmitā mēneša dienā, tad Nebukadnecars, Bābeles ķēniņš, nāca ar visu savu karaspēku pret Jeruzālemi un apmeta lēģeri pret to un uztaisīja valni ap to.
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.
2 Un tā pilsēta palika apstāta līdz ķēniņa Cedeķijas vienpadsmitam gadam.
They did that for two years.
3 Un (ceturtā) mēneša devītā (dienā), kad bads pilsētu pārvarēja un iedzīvotājiem vairs nebija maizes,
After Zedekiah had been ruling for eleven years, the (famine/shortage of food) had become very bad. All their food was gone.
4 Tad ielauzās pilsētā, un visi karavīri bēga naktī pa vārtu ceļu starp abiem mūriem pie ķēniņa dārza, (bet Kaldeji bija pilsētai visapkārt) un ķēniņš bēga pa klajuma ceļu.
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.
5 Un Kaldeju spēks ķēniņam dzinās pakaļ un to panāca Jērikus klajumā, un viss viņa spēks no viņa izklīda.
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.
6 Un tie sagrāba ķēniņu un to noveda pie Bābeles ķēniņa uz Riblatu, un turēja tiesu pār viņu.
The Babylonian soldiers took King Zedekiah to Riblah [city] in Babylon. There the king of Babylon decided what they would do to punish him.
7 Un tie nokāva Cedeķijas dēlus priekš viņa acīm un izdūra Cedeķijam acis un to saistīja ar divām vara ķēdēm un to noveda uz Bābeli.
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.
8 Un piektā mēneša septītā dienā (tas bija ķēniņa Nebukadnecara, Bābeles ķēniņa, deviņpadsmitais gads, ) NebuzarAdans, pils karavīru virsnieks, Bābeles ķēniņa kalps, nāca uz Jeruzālemi
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.
9 Un sadedzināja Tā Kunga namu un ķēniņa namu un visus Jeruzālemes namus, visus lielos namus viņš sadedzināja ar uguni.
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.
10 Un viss Kaldeju spēks, kas bija pie pils karavīru virsnieka, noplēsa Jeruzālemes mūrus visapkārt.
Then Nebuzaradan supervised all the soldiers of the Babylonian army as they tore down the walls of Jerusalem.
11 Un tos atlikušos ļaudis, kas bija atlikuši pilsētā, un tos bēgļus, kas bija aizbēguši pie Bābeles ķēniņa, un tautas atlikumu NebuzarAdans, pils karavīru virsnieks, aizveda.
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.
12 Bet no zemniekiem pils karavīru virsnieks citus atlicināja par vīna dārzniekiem un arājiem.
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.
13 Un Kaldeji salauzīja tos vara stabus Tā Kunga namā un tos krēslus un to vara jūru Tā Kunga nama, un noveda to varu uz Bābeli.
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.
14 Tie paņēma arī tos podus un tās lāpstas un dakšas un kausus un visus vara rīkus pie Dieva nama kalpošanas.
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.
15 Un pils karavīru virsnieks paņēma tos ogļu traukus un tās bļodas, kas bija tīra zelta un tīra sudraba,
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.
16 Tos divus stabus, to vienu jūru un tos krēslus, ko Salamans bija taisījis Tā Kunga namam. Visu šo trauku varš bija nesverams.
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].
17 Astoņpadsmit olektis augsts bija viens stabs un uz tā vara kronis un tas kronis bija trīs olektis augsts, un tīkli un granātāboli apkārt kronim bija visi no vara. Un tāpat bija arī tas otrs stabs ar tiem tīkliem.
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.
18 Un pils karavīru virsnieks paņēma augsto priesteri Seraju un otru priesteri Cefaniju un trīs sliekšņa sargus.
Nebuzaradan took with him to Babylon Seraiah the Supreme Priest, Zephaniah his assistant, and the three men who guarded the entrance [to the temple].
19 Un no pilsētas viņš paņēma vienu kambarjunkuri, kas bija pār karavīriem, un piecus vīrus no tiem, kas vienmēr bija ķēniņa priekšā un kas pilsētā atradās, un karavirsnieka skrīveri, kas zemes ļaudis rīkoja uz karu, un sešdesmit vīrus no zemes ļaudīm, kas pilsētā atradās.
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.
20 Un NebuzarAdans, pils karavīru virsnieks, tos ņēmis noveda pie Bābeles ķēniņa uz Riblatu.
Nebuzaradan took them all to the king of Babylon at Riblah [city].
21 Un Bābeles ķēniņš tos kāva un nokāva Riblatā Hamatas zemē. Tā Jūda tapa aizvests no savas zemes.
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].
22 Bet pār tiem ļaudīm, kas bija atlikuši Jūda zemē, ko Nebukadnecars, Bābeles ķēniņš, bija atlicinājis, viņš iecēla Ģedaliju, Aikama dēlu, Safana dēla dēlu.
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.
23 Kad nu visi kara virsnieki ar saviem vīriem dzirdēja, ka Bābeles ķēniņš Ģedaliju bija iecēlis par valdnieku, tad tie nāca pie Ģedalijas uz Micpu, ar vārdu: Ismaēls, Netanijas dēls, un Johanans, Kareūs dēls, un Seraja, Tanumeta dēls, no Netofas, un Jaēzanija, Maēkata dēls, ar saviem vīriem.
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.
24 Un Ģedalija tiem un viņu vīriem zvērēja un uz tiem sacīja: nebīstaties no Kaldeju kalpiem, paliekat zemē un kalpojiet Bābeles ķēniņam, tad jums labi klāsies.
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.”
25 Bet septītā mēnesī nāca Ismaēls, Netanijas dēls, Elišama dēla dēls, no ķēniņa dzimuma, un desmit vīri ar viņu, un tie kāva Ģedaliju, ka tas nomira, līdz ar tiem Jūdiem un Kaldejiem, kas pie viņa bija Micpā.
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.
26 Tad visi ļaudis cēlās, ir mazi, ir lieli līdz ar kara virsniekiem, un gāja uz Ēģipti; jo tie bijās no Kaldejiem. -
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.
27 Un trīsdesmit septītā gadā pēc tam, kad Jojaķins, Jūda ķēniņš, bija aizvests, divpadsmitā mēnesī, divdesmit septītā mēneša dienā, Evil-Merodaks, Bābeles ķēniņš, tai gadā, kad palika par ķēniņu, paaugstināja Jojaķina, Jūda ķēniņa, galvu no cietuma nama.
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.
28 Un viņš runāja laipnīgi ar to un lika viņa krēslu pār visiem ķēniņu krēsliem, kas pie viņa bija Bābelē.
He always spoke kindly to Jehoiachin and honored him more than the other kings who had been taken/exiled to Babylon.
29 Un viņš pārmija viņa cietuma drēbes, un tas ēda vienmēr viņa priekšā, kamēr dzīvoja.
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.
30 Un viņš tam nosprieda uzturam dienišķu daļu, ko tas ikdienas dabūja no ķēniņa, kamēr dzīvoja.
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.
