Jeremiah 52 (SAR)

1Sidkiji je bila dvadeset i jedna godina kad se zakraljio, a kraljevao je jedanaest godina u Jeruzalemu. Materi mu bijaše ime Hamitala, kćerka Jeremije, i bila je iz Libne.Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eleven years. His mother’s name was Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah; she was from Libnah.

2Činio je što je zlo u očima Jahvinim, sve kao što je činio Jojakin.And Zedekiah did evil in the sight of the LORD, just as Jehoiakim had done.

3To je zadesilo Jeruzalem zbog gnjeva Jahvina; Jahve ih napokon i odbaci ispred lica svoga. Sidkija se pobunio protiv babilonskog kralja.For because of the anger of the LORD, all this happened in Jerusalem and Judah, until He finally banished them from His presence. And Zedekiah also rebelled against the king of Babylon.

4Devete 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.So in the ninth year of Zedekiah’s reign, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon marched against Jerusalem with his entire army. They encamped outside the city and built a siege wall all around it.

5Grad osta opkoljen sve do jedanaeste godine Sidkijina kraljevanja.And the city was kept under siege until King Zedekiah’s eleventh year.

6Devetoga dana četvrtoga mjeseca, kad je u gradu zavladala takva glad da priprosti puk nije imao ni kruha,By the ninth day of the fourth month, the famine in the city was so severe that the people of the land had no food.

7neprijatelj provali u grad. Tada kralj i svi ratnici pobjegoše noću kroz vrata između dva zida nad Kraljevskim vrtom - Kaldejci bijahu opkolili grad - i krenuše putem prema Arabi.Then the city was breached; and though the Chaldeans had surrounded the city, all the men of war fled the city by night by way of the gate between the two walls near the king’s garden. They headed toward the Arabah,

8Kaldejske čete nagnuše za njim u potjeru i sustigoše Sidkiju na Jerihonskim poljanama, a sva se njegova vojska razbježala.but the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho, and his whole army deserted him.

9I Kaldejci uhvatiše kralja i odvedoše ga u Riblu, u zemlji hamatskoj, pred kralja babilonskog, koji mu izreče presudu.The Chaldeans seized the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he pronounced judgment on Zedekiah.

10Pokla Sidkijine sinove pred njegovim očima, pobi u Ribli sve Judine knezove;There at Riblah the king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and he also killed all the officials of Judah.

11Sidkiji iskopa oči i okova ga verigama i odvede u Babilon, gdje ga je držao u tamnici sve do smrti njegove.Then he put out Zedekiah’s eyes, bound him with bronze shackles, and took him to Babylon, where he kept him in custody until his dying day.

12Desetoga dana petoga mjeseca - devetnaeste godine kraljevanja Nabukodonozora, kralja babilonskog - uđe u Jeruzalem Nebuzaradan, zapovjednik tjelesne straže.On the tenth day of the fifth month, in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar’s reign over Babylon, Nebuzaradan captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, entered Jerusalem.

13On zapali Dom Jahvin, kraljevski dvor i sve kuće u Jeruzalemu, osobito kuće uglednika;He burned down the house of the LORD, the royal palace, and all the houses of Jerusalem—every significant building.

14kaldejske čete, pod zapovjednikom tjelesne straže, razoriše zidine oko Jeruzalema.And the whole army of the Chaldeans under the captain of the guard broke down all the walls around Jerusalem.

15Nebuzaradan, zapovjednik tjelesne straže, odvede u sužanjstvo ostatak naroda koji bijaše ostao u gradu, a tako i prebjege babilonskom kralju i ostalu svjetinu.Then Nebuzaradan captain of the guard carried into exile some of the poorest people and those who remained in the city, along with the deserters who had defected to the king of Babylon and the rest of the craftsmen.

16Neke od malih ljudi Nebuzaradan ostavi u zemlji kao vinogradare i ratare.But Nebuzaradan captain of the guard left behind some of the poorest of the land to tend the vineyards and fields.

17Kaldejci razbiše tučane stupove u Domu Jahvinu, podnožja i mjedeno more u Domu Jahvinu, i tuč odniješe u Babilon.Moreover, the Chaldeans broke up the bronze pillars and stands and the bronze Sea in the house of the LORD, and they carried all the bronze to Babylon.

18Uzeše i lonce, lopate, noževe, posudice i uopće sav tučani pribor koji se upotrebljavao za bogoslužja.They also took away the pots, shovels, wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, dishes, and all the articles of bronze used in the temple service.

19Zapovjednik uze i umivaonice, kadionice, škropionice, lonce, svijećnjake, zdjele, žrtvene pehare, uopće sve što bijaše od zlata i srebra,The captain of the guard also took away the basins, censers, sprinkling bowls, pots, lampstands, pans, and drink offering bowls—anything made of pure gold or fine silver.

20dva stupa, jedno more i dvanaest tučanih volova pod morem, podnožja što je kralj Salomon dao izraditi za Dom Jahvin. Nije moguće procijeniti koliko je tuča bilo u svim tim predmetima.As for the two pillars, the Sea, the twelve bronze bulls under it, and the movable stands that King Solomon had made for the house of the LORD, the weight of the bronze from all these articles was beyond measure.

21Prvi stup bijaše visok osamnaest lakata - obuhvatiti ga je mogao konop od dvanaest lakata - bijaše četiri prsta debeo, a šupalj.Each pillar was eighteen cubits tall and twelve cubits in circumference; each was hollow, four fingers thick.

22Imao je glavicu od tuča, visoku pet lakata; i obvijaše je oplet i mogranji, a sve od tuča. Takav je bio i drugi stup.The bronze capital atop one pillar was five cubits high, with a network of bronze pomegranates all around. The second pillar, with its pomegranates, was similar.

23A devedeset i šest šipaka slobodno je visjelo. Sve u svemu bijaše oko sto šipaka u tom opletu.Each capital had ninety-six pomegranates on the sides, and a total of a hundred pomegranates were above the surrounding network.

24Zapovjednik je straže odveo svećeničkog poglavara Seraju, drugog svećenika, Sefaniju, i tri čuvara praga.The captain of the guard also took away Seraiah the chief priest, Zephaniah the priest of second rank, and the three doorkeepers.

25Iz grada je odveo jednog dvorjanina, vojničkog zapovjednika, sedam ljudi iz kraljeve pratnje koji se zatekoše u gradu, pisara zapovjednika vojske koji je novačio puk te šezdeset pučana koji se također zatekoše u gradu.Of those still in the city, he took a court official who had been appointed over the men of war, as well as seven trusted royal advisers. He also took the scribe of the captain of the army, who had enlisted the people of the land, and sixty men who were found in the city.

26Zapovjednik tjelesne straže Nebuzaradan odvede ih pred kralja babilonskog u Riblu.Nebuzaradan captain of the guard took them and brought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.

27I kralj babilonski zapovjedi da ih pogube u Ribli, u zemlji hamatskoj. Tako su judejski narod odveli s njegove rodne grude.There at Riblah in the land of Hamath, the king of Babylon struck them down and put them to death. So Judah was taken into exile, away from its own land.

28Evo broja ljudstva što ga Nabukodonozor odvede u sužanjstvo: sedme godine tri tisuće i dvadeset tri Judejca;These are the people Nebuchadnezzar carried away: in the seventh year, 3,023 Jews;

29osamnaeste godine Nabukodonozorove osamsto trideset i dvije osobe iz Jeruzalema;in Nebuchadnezzar’s eighteenth year, 832 people from Jerusalem;

30dvadeset i treće godine Nabukodonozorove, Nebuzaradan, zapovjednik tjelesne straže, odvede sedam stotina četrdeset i pet Judejaca. U svemu: četiri tisuće i šest stotona osoba.in Nebuchadnezzar’s twenty-third year, Nebuzaradan captain of the guard carried away 745 Jews. So in all, 4,600 people were taken away.

31A trideset i sedme godine otkako je zasužnjen judejski kralj Jojakin, dvadeset i petoga dana dvanaestoga mjeseca, babilonski kralj Evil Merodak u prvoj godini svoje vladavine pomilova judejskoga kralja Jojakina i pusti ga iz tamnice.On the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth month of the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the first year of the reign of Evil-merodach king of Babylon, he pardoned Jehoiachin king of Judah and released him from prison.

32Ljubezno je s njim razgovarao i stolicu mu postavio više nego drugim kraljevima koji bijahu s njim u Babilonu.And he spoke kindly to Jehoiachin and set his throne above the thrones of the other kings who were with him in Babylon.

33Jojakin je odložio svoje tamničke haljine i jeo s kraljem za istim stolom svega svoga vijeka.So Jehoiachin changed out of his prison clothes, and he dined regularly at the king’s table for the rest of his life.

34Do kraja njegova života, sve do smrti, babilonski mu je kralj trajno, iz dana u dan, davao uzdržavanje.And the king of Babylon provided Jehoiachin a daily portion for the rest of his life, until the day of his death.
