¹And 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.

¹Zgodi se pa v devetem letu kraljevanja njegovega, deseti dan desetega meseca, da pride Nebukadnezar, kralj babilonski, in vsa vojska njegova zoper Jeruzalem in se utabori proti njemu. In naredili so obležne ogradbe okrog njega.

²And the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.

²In mesto je bilo oblegano do enajstega leta kralja Zedekija.

³And 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.

³Deveti dan četrtega meseca je bila huda lakota v mestu, in ni bilo kruha za ljudstvo dežele.

⁴And 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.

⁴Tedaj je bilo mesto predrto, in vsi vojščaki so pobegnili po noči skozi vrata med dvojnim zidom, ki so bila poleg kraljevega vrta (Kaldejci pa so oblegali mesto kroginkrog); in kralj je šel po poti proti nižini.

⁵And 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.

⁵Ali vojska Kaldejcev se drevi za kraljem in ga dohiti na planjavah ob Jerihu; vsa vojska njegova pa se je bila razkropila od njega.

⁶So they took the king, and brought him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they gave judgment upon him.

⁶Tedaj ujamejo kralja ter ga pripeljejo gori h kralju babilonskemu v Riblo; in izrekli so sodbo nad njim.

⁷And 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.

⁷In poklali so sinove Zedekijeve njemu pred očmi, potem so mu oslepili oči ter ga zvezali z dvema bronastima verigama in ga odpeljali na Babilonsko.

⁸And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which is the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem:

⁸Potem pride sedmi dan petega meseca, ko je bilo devetnajsto leto kralja Nebukadnezarja, kralja babilonskega, Nebuzaradan, glavar telesne straže, služabnik kralja babilonskega, v Jeruzalem,

⁹And 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.

⁹in požge hišo GOSPODOVO in hišo kraljevo in vse hiše v Jeruzalemu, namreč vsako večjo hišo požge z ognjem.

¹⁰And all the army of the Chaldees, that were with the captain of the guard, brake down the walls of Jerusalem round about.

¹⁰In vsa vojska Kaldejcev, kar je je bilo z glavarjem straže, poruši zidove jeruzalemske okroginokrog.

¹¹Now 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 Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carry away.

¹¹Preostanek ljudstva pa, kar ga je ostalo v mestu, in uskoke, ki so odpadli h kralju babilonskemu, in ostanek množice odpelje ujete Nebuzaradan, glavar telesne straže.

¹²But the captain of the guard left of the door of the poor of the land to be vinedressers and husbandmen.

¹²Samo iz najubožnejših ljudstva jih je pustil ondi glavar straže, da naj bodo vinogradniki in kmetovalci.

¹³And the pillars of brass that were in the house of the LORD, and the bases, and the brazen sea that was in the house of the LORD, did the Chaldees break in pieces, and carried the brass of them to Babylon.

¹³In bronasta stebra, ki sta bila v hiši GOSPODOVI, in stojala in bronasto morje, ki je bilo v hiši GOSPODOVI, so razbili Kaldejci ter odnesli njih bron v Babilon.

¹⁴And the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they away.

¹⁴Tako tudi lonce, lopate, utrinjače in torila in vse bronasto orodje, s katerim se je opravljala služba, so odnesli.

¹⁵And 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.

¹⁵Tudi ponve in čaše, kar je bilo od zlata, v zlatu, kar od srebra, v srebru je vzel glavar telesne straže.

¹⁶The 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.

¹⁶Tista dva stebra, eno morje in stojala, ki jih je bil napravil Salomon za hišo GOSPODOVO; tehtati ni bilo mogoče brona od vseh teh priprav.

¹⁷The 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 wreathed work, and pomegranates upon the chapiter round about, all of brass: and like unto these had the second pillar with wreathed work.

¹⁷Višina enega stebra je bila osemnajst komolcev in glavič na njem je bil iz brona, in višina glaviča je bila tri komolce z mrežastim delom in granatnimi jabolki na glaviču kroginkrog, vse iz brona; in enako tem je imel drugi steber na glaviču.

¹⁸And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door:

¹⁸In glavar telesne straže je vzel Seraja, prvega duhovnika, in Zefanija, drugega duhovnika, in tri čuvaje pri vratih;

¹⁹And 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:

¹⁹iz mesta pa je vzel enega dvornika, ki je bil postavljen nad vojščaki, in pet mož izmed tistih, ki so bili kralju najbližji in so se našli v mestu, in pisarja, vojnega poveljnika, ki je nabiral vojsko iz deželnega ljudstva, in šestdeset mož iz deželnega ljudstva, ki so se našli v mestu:

²⁰And Nebuzaradan captain of the guard took these, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah:

²⁰te je vzel Nebuzaradan, glavar telesne straže, ter jih odpeljal h kralju babilonskemu v Riblo.

²¹And 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.

²¹In kralj babilonski jih je udaril in usmrtil v Ribli, v Hamatski deželi. Tako je bil Juda preseljen v ujetništvo iz dežele svoje.

²²And 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.

²²Kar se pa tiče ljudstva, ki je ostalo v deželi Judovi, kar ga je pustil ondi Nebukadnezar, kralj babilonski, nad tem je postavil Gedalija, sina Ahikama, sinu Safanovega.

²³And 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.

²³Ko so pa slišali vsi poveljniki trum, oni in njih možje, da je kralj babilonski postavil za namestnika Gedalija, pridejo v Micpo h Gedaliju, zlasti Izmael, sin Netanijev, in Johanan, sin Kareahov, in Seraja, sin Tanhumeta Netofatčana, in Jazanija, sin Maakatijev, oni s svojimi možmi.

²⁴And 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.

²⁴In Gedalija priseže njim in njih možem ter jim reče: Ne bojte se hlapcev Kaldejcev; ostanite v deželi in služite kralju babilonskemu, tako vam bode dobro.

²⁵But 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.

²⁵Zgodi se pa sedmega meseca, da pride Izmael, sin Netanijev, sinu Elisamovega, iz kraljevega roda, in ž njim deset mož, in udarijo Gedalija, da umrje, tudi Jude in Kaldejce, ki so bili ž njim v Micpi.

²⁶And 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.

²⁶In vse ljudstvo, malo in veliko, in poveljniki trum vstanejo ter odidejo v Egipt; bali so se namreč Kaldejcev.

²⁷And 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 Evilmerodach king of Babylon in the year that he began to reign did lift up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison;

²⁷Zgodi se pa v tridesetem in sedmem letu ujetništva Jojahinovega, kralja Judovega, dvanajsti mesec, sedemindvajseti dan meseca, da je Evil Merodah, kralj babilonski, v letu, ko je začel kraljevati, povišal glavo Jojahina, kralja Judovega, izpeljavši ga iz ječe.

²⁸And he spake kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon;

²⁸In govoril je prijazno ž njim in prestol njegov je postavil nad prestol kraljev, ki so bili ž njim v Babilonu.

²⁹And changed his prison garments: and he did eat bread continually before him all the days of his life.

²⁹In premenil mu je jetniško obleko; in je jedel kruh pred kraljem vedno, vse dni življenja svojega.Kajti živež njegov, stalen živež mu je dajal kralj, odmerjen za vsak dan, vse dni njegovega življenja.

³⁰And his allowance was a continual allowance given him of the king, a daily rate for every day, all the days of his life.

³⁰Kajti živež njegov, stalen živež mu je dajal kralj, odmerjen za vsak dan, vse dni njegovega življenja.
