2 Kralji 24
1 V njegovih dneh je prišel gor babilonski kralj Nebukadnezar in Jojakím je [za] tri leta postal njegov služabnik. Potem se je obrnil in se uprl zoper njega.
In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant three years. Then he turned and rebelled against him.
2 Gospod je zoper njega poslal čete Kaldejcev, čete Sircev, čete Moábcev, čete Amónovih sinov in jih poslal zoper Juda, da ga uničijo, glede na Gospodovo besedo, ki jo je govoril po svojih služabnikih prerokih.
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.
3 Zagotovo je to prišlo nad Juda na Gospodovo zapoved, da jih odstrani iz svojega pogleda zaradi Manásejevih grehov, glede na vse, kar je storil,
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,
4 in tudi zaradi nedolžne krvi, ki jo je prelil. Kajti Jeruzalem je napolnil z nedolžno krvjo, ki je Gospod ni hotel odpustiti.
and also for the innocent blood that he shed; for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and Yahweh would not pardon.
5 Torej preostala izmed Jojakímovih dejanj in vse, kar je storil, mar niso zapisana v kroniški knjigi Judovih kraljev?
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?
6 Tako je Jojakím zaspal s svojimi očeti, in namesto njega je zakraljeval njegov sin Jojahín.
So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers, and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place.
7 Egiptovski kralj ni nič več ponovno prišel iz svoje dežele, kajti babilonski kralj je zavzel od egiptovske reke do reke Evfrat, vse, kar je pripadalo egiptovskemu kralju.
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.
8 Jojahín je bil star osemnajst let, ko je začel kraljevati in v Jeruzalemu je kraljeval tri mesece. Ime njegove matere je bilo Nehúšta; hči Elnatána iz Jeruzalema.
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.
9 Počel je to, kar je bilo zlo v Gospodovih očeh, glede na vse, kar je počel njegov oče.
He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, according to all that his father had done.
10 Ob tistem času so služabniki babilonskega kralja Nebukadnezarja prišli gor zoper Jeruzalem in mesto je bilo oblegano.
At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up to Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.
11 Babilonski kralj Nebukadnezar je prišel zoper mesto in njegovi služabniki so ga oblegali.
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to the city while his servants were besieging it,
12 Judov kralj Jojahín, je odšel ven k babilonskemu kralju, on, njegova mati, njegovi služabniki, njegovi princi in njegovi častniki in babilonski kralj ga je vzel v osmem letu svojega kraljevanja.
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.
13 Od tam je odnesel vse zaklade iz Gospodove hiše in zaklade iz kraljeve hiše in zdrobil na koščke vse posode iz zlata, ki jih je Izraelov kralj Salomon naredil v Gospodovem templju, kakor je rekel Gospod.
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.
14 Proč je odvedel ves Jeruzalem, vse njegove prince in vse močne junaške može, celó deset tisoč ujetnikov in vse rokodelce in kovače. Nihče ni preostal, razen najrevnejše sorte ljudstva dežele.
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.
15 V Babilon je odvedel Jojahína, kraljevo mater, kraljeve žene, njegove častnike in mogočne iz dežele; te je iz Jeruzalema odvedel v ujetništvo v Babilon.
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.
16 Vse mogočne može, celó sedem tisoč in tisoč rokodelcev in kovačev, vse, ki so bili močni in zmožni za vojno, celo te je babilonski kralj ujete privedel v Babilon.
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.
17 Babilonski kralj je namesto njega postavil Matanjája, brata njegovega očeta in njegovo ime spremenil v Sedekíja.
The king of Babylon made Mattaniah, Jehoiachin’s father’s brother, king in his place, and changed his name to Zedekiah.
18 Sedekíja je bil star enaindvajset let, ko je začel kraljevati in v Jeruzalemu je kraljeval enajst let. Ime njegove matere je bilo Hamutála, hči Jeremija iz Libne.
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.
19 Počel je to, kar je bilo zlo v Gospodovih očeh, glede na vse, kar je počel Jojakím.
He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
20 Kajti zaradi Gospodove jeze se je to pripetilo v Jeruzalemu in Judu, dokler jih ni zavrgel izpred svoje prisotnosti, da se je Sedekíja uprl zoper babilonskega kralja.
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.
