Jeremijas 52
1 Cedeķija bija divdesmit un vienu gadu vecs, kad tapa par ķēniņu, un valdīja vienpadsmit gadus Jeruzālemē; viņa mātes vārds bija Amutale, Jeremijas meita no Libnas.
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].
2 Un viņš darīja, kas bija ļauns Tā Kunga acīs, tā kā Jojaķims bija darījis.
Zedekiah did [many] things that Yahweh says are evil, like [his father] Jehoiakim had done.
3 Jo tā notika Tā Kunga bardzības dēļ pret Jeruzālemi un pret Jūdu, līdz kamēr Viņš tos atmeta no Sava vaiga. Un Cedeķija atkāpās no Bābeles ķēniņa.
[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.
4 Un viņa valdīšanas devītā gadā, desmitā mēnesī, desmitā mēneša dienā, Nebukadnecars, Bābeles ķēniņš, nāca pats ar visu savu karaspēku pret Jeruzālemi, un tie apmetās ap viņu un uztaisīja pret viņu visapkārt vaļņus.
[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].
5 Tā tā pilsēta tapa apsēsta līdz ķēniņa Cedeķijas vienpadsmitam gadam.
They continued to surround Jerusalem until Zedekiah had been ruling for almost eleven years.
6 Ceturtā mēnesī, devītā mēneša dienā, bads augtin auga pilsētā, un zemiem ļaudīm nebija vairs maizes.
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].
7 Tad ielauzās pilsētā un visi karavīri bēga un izgāja naktī no pilsētas ārā pa vārtu ceļu starp abiem mūriem pie ķēniņa dārza. Bet Kaldeji bija visapkārt ap pilsētu.
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.
8 Un viņi gāja pa klajuma ceļu; bet Kaldeju spēks dzinās ķēniņam pakaļ un panāca Cedeķiju Jērikus klajumos, un viss viņa spēks izklīda no viņa nost.
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.
9 Tad tie sagrāba ķēniņu un viņu noveda pie Bābeles ķēniņa uz Riblu Hamatas zemē, un tas sprieda tiesu par viņu.
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.
10 Un Bābeles ķēniņš nokāva Cedeķijas bērnus priekš viņa acīm, ir visus Jūda lielkungus viņš nokāva Riblā,
They forced Zedekiah to watch while they killed his sons and all the officials from Judah.
11 Un viņš izdūra Cedeķijam acis un viņu saistīja ar divām vara ķēdēm; un Bābeles ķēniņš viņu noveda uz Bābeli un viņu lika cietuma namā līdz viņa miršanas dienai.
[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.
12 Pēc tam, piektā mēnesī, desmitā mēneša dienā, tas bija ķēniņa Nebukadnecara, Bābeles ķēniņa, deviņpadsmitais gads, NebuzarAdans, pils karavīru virsnieks, kas stāvēja Bābeles ķēniņa priekšā, nāca uz Jeruzālemi,
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.
13 Un sadedzināja Tā Kunga namu un ķēniņa namu līdz ar visiem Jeruzālemes namiem, un 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. They [also] destroyed all the important buildings [in the city].
14 Un viss Kaldeju spēks, kas bija pie pils karavīru virsnieka, nolauza visus Jeruzālemes mūrus visapkārt.
Then he supervised the soldiers from Babylonia while they tore down the walls on all sides of Jerusalem.
15 Bet zemas kārtas ļaudis un tos atlikušos, kas pilsētā bija atlicināti, un tos bēgļus, kas bija pārgājuši pie Bābeles ķēniņa, un tos citus darba ļaudis, pils karavīru virsnieks Nebuzar Adans, aizveda projām.
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.
16 Bet no tiem zemas kārtas ļaudīm tai zemē pils karavīru virsnieks NebuzarAdans kādus atlicināja par vīna dārzniekiem un arājiem.
But Nebuzaradan allowed some of the very poor people to remain [in Judah] to take care of the vineyards and fields.
17 Un Kaldeji nolauza tos vara pīlārus pie Tā Kunga nama un tos krēslus un to vara jūru, kas bija Tā Kunga namā, un veda visu viņas varu uz Bābeli.
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.
18 Tie paņēma arī tos podus un tās lāpstas un dakšas un tos slakāmos traukus un biķerus un visus vara traukus, ko lietoja pie kalpošanas.
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.
19 Un pils karavīru virsnieks paņēma līdz tos kausus un vīraka traukus un slakāmos kausus un podus un lukturus un karotes un krūzes, kas bija tīra zelta un tīra sudraba,
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.
20 Tos abus pīlārus, to vienu jūru, tos divpadsmit vara vēršus apakš tās un tos krēslus, ko ķēniņš Salamans bija taisījis priekš Tā Kunga nama. Tas varš no tā, no visiem tiem rīkiem, nebija sverams.
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.
21 Un katra pīlāra augstums bija astoņpadsmit olektis un divpadsmit olekšu aukla gāja ap pīlāri apkārt, un tas varš bija četru pirkstu biezumā un vidū tukšs.
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.
22 Un tas kronis uz pīlāra bija no vara, un ikkatra kroņa augstums bija piecas olektis, un tīkla darbs un granātāboli bija ap to kroni visapkārt, viss no vara; un tāpat arī bija pie tā otra pīlāra, un arī tie granātāboli.
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.
23 Un to granātābolu bija deviņdesmit seši pret visiem vējiem, visu granātābolu bija simts tam tīkla darbam visapkārt.
There was a total of 100 figures of pomegranates on the network at the top, 96 of which could be seen from the ground.
24 Pils karavīru virsnieks ņēma augsto priesteri Seraju un to otru priesteri Cefaniju un trīs sliekšņa sargus,
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].
25 Un no pilsētas viņš ņēma vienu ķēniņa sulaini, kas bija celts pār tiem karavīriem, un septiņus vīrus no tiem, kas bija ap ķēniņu, kas pilsētā tapa atrasti, ir kara vadoņa rakstītāju, kas tās zemes ļaudis priekš kara uzrakstīja, un sešdesmit vīrus no tās zemes ļaudīm, kas pilsētā tapa atrasti.
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.
26 Tos pils karavīru virsnieks NebuzarAdans ņēma un veda pie Bābeles ķēniņa uz Riblu.
Nebuzaradan took them all to the king of Babylon, [who was still] at Riblah.
27 Un Bābeles ķēniņš tos sita un nokāva Riblā Hamatas zemē. Tā Jūda no savas zemes tapa aizvests.
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.
28 Šie ir tie ļaudis, ko Nebukadnecars aizveda septītā gadā: trīs tūkstoš divdesmit trīs Jūdus;
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.
29 Nebukadnecara astoņpadsmitā gadā: astoņsimt trīsdesmit divas dvēseles no Jeruzālemes.
Then, when he had been ruling for almost 18 years, his [soldiers] took 832 [more Israeli people to Babylonia].
30 Nebukadnecara divdesmit trešā gadā, pils karavīru virsnieks NebuzarAdans aizveda septiņsimt četrdesmit piecas Jūdu dvēseles; pavisam četrtūkstoš un sešsimt dvēseles.
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].
31 Bet trīsdesmit septītā gadā pēc Jojaķima, Jūda ķēniņa, aizvešanas, divpadsmitā mēnesī, divdesmit piektā mēneša dienā, Evil-Merodaks Bābeles ķēniņš savā pirmā valdīšanas gadā, paaugstināja Jojaķima, Jūda ķēniņa, galvu un to izveda no cietuma nama,
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.
32 Un runāja laipnīgi ar viņu un cēla viņa krēslu pār to ķēniņu krēsliem, kas pie viņa bija Bābelē.
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].
33 Un pārmija viņa cietuma drēbes, un šis ēda maizi vienmēr viņa priekšā visu savu mūžu.
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.
34 Un barība viņam vienmēr no Bābeles ķēniņa tapa dota, ikdienas nospriesta tiesa, līdz viņa miršanas dienai visu viņa mūžu.
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.
