II Kings 25

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.

And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he, and all his host, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it; and they built forts against it round about.

Grad osta opkoljen do jedanaeste godine Sidkijina kraljevanja.

And the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.

Devetoga dana četvrtoga mjeseca, kad je u gradu zavladala takva glad da priprosti puk nije imao ni kruha,

And on the ninth day of the fourth month the famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land.

neprijatelj provali u grad. Tada kralj i svi ratnici pobjegoše noću kroz vrata između dva zida nad Kraljevim vrtom - Kaldejci bijahu opkolili grad - i krenuše putem prema Arabi.

And the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between two walls, which is by the king's garden: (now the Chaldees were against the city round about:) and the king went the way toward the plain.

Kaldejske čete nagnuše u potjeru za kraljem i sustigoše ga na Jerihonskim poljanama, a sva se njegova vojska razbježala.

And the army of the Chaldees pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all his army were scattered from him.

Kaldejci uhvatiše kralja i odvedoše ga u Riblu pred kralja babilonskog, koji mu izreče presudu.

So they took the king, and brought him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they gave judgment upon him.

Sidkijine sinove pokla pred njegovim očima, Sidkiji iskopa oči, okova ga verigama i odvede u Babilon.

And they slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with fetters of brass, and carried him to Babylon.

Sedmoga dana petoga mjeseca - devetnaeste godine kraljevanja Nabukodonozora, kralja babilonskog - uđe u Jeruzalem Nebuzaradan, zapovjednik kraljeve tjelesne straže i časnik babilonskog kralja.

And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which is the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzar–adan, captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem:

On zapali Dom Jahvin, kraljevski dvor i sve kuće u Jeruzalemu.

And he burnt the house of the LORD, and the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great man's house burnt he with fire.

Kaldejske čete, pod zapovjednikom kraljevske tjelesne straže, razoriše zidine koje su okruživale Jeruzalem.

And all the army of the Chaldees, that were with the captain of the guard, brake down the walls of Jerusalem round about.

Nebuzaradan, zapovjednik kraljeve tjelesne straže, odvede u sužanjstvo ostatak naroda koji bijaše ostao u gradu, a tako i prebjege babilonskom kralju i ostalu svjetinu.

Now the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the fugitives that fell away to the king of Babylon, with the remnant of the multitude, did Nebuzar–adan the captain of the guard carry away.

Neke od malih ljudi ostavi zapovjednik u zemlji kao vinogradare i ratare.

But the captain of the guard left of the poor of the land to be vinedressers and husbandmen.

Kaldejci razbiše tučane stupove u Domu Jahvinu, podnožja i mjedeno more koji su bili u Domu Jahvinu i tuč odniješe u Babilon.

And the pillars of brass that were in the house of the LORD, and the bases, and the brasen sea that was in the house of the LORD, did the Chaldees break in pieces, and carried the brass of them to Babylon.

Uzeše i lonce, lopate, noževe, posudice i uopće sav tučani pribor koji se upotrebljavao za bogoslužja.

And the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they away.

Zapovjednik uze i kadionice i škropionice, uopće sve što bijaše od zlata i srebra,

And the firepans, and the bowls, and such things as were of gold, in gold, and of silver, in silver, the captain of the guard took away.

dva stupa, jedno more i podnožja, što je Salomon dao izraditi za Dom Jahvin. Nije moguće procijeniti koliko je tuča bilo u svim tim predmetima.

The two pillars, one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made for the house of the LORD; the brass of all these vessels was without weight.

Prvi stup bijaše visok osamnaest lakata, imao je glavicu od tuča, visoku pet lakata; obvijaše je oplet i mogranji, sve od tuča. Takav je bio i drugi stup.

The height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, and the chapiter upon it was brass: and the height of the chapiter three cubits; and the wreathen work, and pomegranates upon the chapiter round about, all of brass: and like unto these had the second pillar with wreathen work.

Zapovjednik straže odveo je svećeničkog poglavara Seraju, drugog svećenika, Sefaniju, i tri čuvara praga.

And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door:

Iz grada je odveo jednog dvoranina, vojničkog zapovjednika, pet ljudi iz kraljeve pratnje koji se zatekoše u gradu, pisara zapovjednika vojske koji je novačio puk i šezdeset pučana koji se također zatekoše u gradu.

And out of the city he took an officer that was set over the men of war, and five men of them that were in the king's presence, which were found in the city, and the principal scribe of the host, which mustered the people of the land, and threescore men of the people of the land that were found in the city:

Zapovjednik kraljevske tjelesne straže Nebuzaradan odvede ih pred kralja babilonskoga u Riblu.

And Nebuzar–adan captain of the guard took these, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah:

I kralj babilonski zapovjedi da ih pogube u Ribli, u zemlji hamatskoj. Tako su judejski narod odveli s njegove rodne grude.

And the king of Babylon smote them, and slew them at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away out of their land.

Narodu što je ostao u zemlji judejskoj i što ga je ostavio babilonski kralj Nabukodonozor - postavio je ovaj za upravitelja Gedaliju, sina Ahikamova, unuka Šafanova.

And as for the people that remained in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, even over them he made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, ruler.

Svi vojni zapovjednici i njihovi ljudi saznaše da je babilonski kralj postavio zemlji za namjesnika Gedaliju i dođoše pred njega u Mispu: Netanijin sin Jišmael; Kareahov sin Johanan; sin Tanhumeta iz Netofe, Seraja; Maakatijev sin Jaazanija - oni i svi njihovi ljudi.

And when all the captains of the armies, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, there came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan the son of Careah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of a Maachathite, they and their men.

Gedalija se zakle njima i njihovim ljudima i reče: "Ne bojte se služiti Kaldejcima; ostanite u zemlji, budite podložni babilonskom kralju i bit će vam dobro."

And Gedaliah sware to them, and to their men, and said unto them, Fear not to be the servants of the Chaldees: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon; and it shall be well with you.

Ali sedmoga mjeseca Jišmael, sin Netanijin, unuk Elišamin, koji bijaše kraljevskog roda, i još deset ljudi s njim ubiše Gedaliju te on umrije kao i svi Judejci i Kaldejci koji bijahu s njim u Mispi.

But it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, came, and ten men with him, and smote Gedaliah, that he died, and the Jews and the Chaldees that were with him at Mizpah.

Tada sav narod, od maloga do velikog, i svi zapovjednici četa ustadoše i odoše u Egipat jer se bojahu Kaldejaca.

And all the people, both small and great, and the captains of the armies, arose, and came to Egypt: for they were afraid of the Chaldees.

Trideset i sedme godine otkako je zasužnjen judejski kralj Jojakin, dvadeset i sedmog dana dvanaestoga mjeseca, babilonski kralj Evil Merodak u prvoj godini svoje vladavine pomilova judejskog kralja Jojakina i pusti ga iz tamnice.

And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, that Evil–merodach king of Babylon in the year that he began to reign did lift up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison;

Ljubezno je s njime razgovarao i stolicu mu postavio više nego ostalim kraljevima koji bijahu s njim u Babilonu.

And he spake kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon;

Jojakin je odložio svoje tamničke haljine i jeo s kraljem za istim stolom svega svoga vijeka.

And changed his prison garments: and he did eat bread continually before him all the days of his life.

Do kraja njegova života babilonski mu je kralj trajno, iz dana u dan, davao uzdržavanje.

And his allowance was a continual allowance given him of the king, a daily rate for every day, all the days of his life.
