¹Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

¹Zedekija je imel enoindvajset let, ko je zakraljeval, in kraljeval je enajst let v Jeruzalemu. Materi njegovi pa je bilo ime Hamutala, hči Jeremijeva iz Libne.

²And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.

²In delal je, kar je hudobno v očeh GOSPODOVIH, prav tako, kakor je bil delal Jojakim.

³For through the anger of the LORD it came to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, till he had cast them out from his presence, that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

³Kajti vsled jeze GOSPODOVE se je tako godilo Jeruzalemu in Judi, dokler jih ni zavrgel izpred obličja svojega. In Zedekija se je uprl kralju babilonskemu.

⁴And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it, and built forts against it round about.

⁴Zgodi se pa v devetem letu kraljevanja njegovega, deseti dan desetega meseca, da je prišel Nebukadnezar, kralj babilonski, on in vsa vojska njegova zoper Jeruzalem, in se utabore proti njemu. In naredili so obležne ogradbe okrog njega.

⁵So the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.

⁵In mesto je bilo oblegano do enajstega leta kralja Zedekija.

⁶And in the fourth month, in the ninth day of the month, the famine was sore in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.

⁶Deveti dan četrtega meseca je nastala huda lakota v mestu, in ni bilo kruha za ljudstvo dežele.

⁷Then the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled, and went forth out of the city by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king's garden; (now the Chaldeans were by the city round about:) and they went by the way of the plain.

⁷Tedaj je bilo mesto predrto, in vsi vojščaki so pobegnili in šli iz mesta po noči skozi vrata med dvojnim zidom, ki so bila poleg kraljevega vrta (Kaldejci pa so oblegali mesto kroginkrog), in šli so po poti proti nižini.

⁸But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.

⁸Ali vojska Kaldejcev se je drevila za kraljem, in dohiteli so ga na planjavah ob Jerihu; vsa vojska njegova pa se je bila razkropila od njega.

⁹Then they took the king, and carried him up unto the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; where he gave judgment upon him.

⁹In ujeli so kralja in ga pripeljali gori h kralju babilonskemu, v Riblo v deželi Hamatski, in on je izrekel sodbo nad njim.

¹⁰And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes: he slew also all the princes of Judah in Riblah.

¹⁰In kralj babilonski je poklal sinove Zedekijeve njemu pred očmi, poklal je tudi vse kneze Judove v Ribli.

¹¹Then he put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him in chains, and carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison till the day of his death.

¹¹Nato mu je oslepil oči in ga zvezal z dvema bronastima verigama; in kralj babilonski ga je odpeljal na Babilonsko ter ga del v zapor do dne smrti njegove.

¹²Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, which served the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem,

¹²Potem pride deseti dan petega meseca, ko je bilo devetnajsto leto kralja Nebukadnezarja, kralja babilonskega, Nebuzaradan, glavar telesne straže, ki je stal pred kraljem babilonskim, v Jeruzalem

¹³And burned the house of the LORD, and the king's house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, and all the houses of the great men, burned he with fire:

¹³in požge hišo GOSPODOVO in hišo kraljevo in vse hiše v Jeruzalemu, namreč vsako večjo hišo požge z ognjem.

¹⁴And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were with the captain of the guard, brake down all the walls of Jerusalem round about.

¹⁴In vsa vojska Kaldejcev, kar je je bilo pri glavarju straže, poruši vse zidove jeruzalemske okroginokrog.

¹⁵Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive certain of the poor of the people, and the residue of the people that remained in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude.

¹⁵In nekaj nizkih ljudi in ostanek ljudstva, kar ga je ostalo v mestu in uskoke, ki so odpadli h kralju babilonskemu, in ostanek množice odpelje ujete Nebuzaradan, glavar straže.

¹⁶But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left certain of the poor of the land for vinedressers and for husbandmen.

¹⁶Samo iz najubožnejših ljudstva jih je pustil ondi Nebuzaradan, glavar telesne straže, da naj bodo vinogradniki in kmetovalci.

¹⁷Also 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, the Chaldeans brake, and carried all the brass of them to Babylon.

¹⁷In Kaldejci so razbili bronasta stebra, ki sta bila ob hiši GOSPODOVI, in stojala in bronasto morje, ki je bilo v hiši GOSPODOVI, ter odnesli ves njih bron v Babilon.

¹⁸The caldrons also, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the bowls, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they away.

¹⁸Odnesli so tudi lonce, lopate, utrinjače, čaše in torila in vse bronasto orodje, s katerim se je opravljala služba.

¹⁹And the basons, and the firepans, and the bowls, and the caldrons, and the candlesticks, and the spoons, and the cups; that which was of gold in gold, and that which was of silver in silver, took the captain of the guard away.

¹⁹Tudi vrče in kadilnice in čaše, lonce, svečnike, torila in konvice, kar je bilo od zlata, v zlatu, kar od srebra, v srebru je vzel glavar telesne straže.

²⁰The two pillars, one sea, and twelve brasen bulls that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made in the house of the LORD: the brass of all these vessels was without weight.

²⁰Tista dva stebra, eno morje in dvanajst volov pod njim in stojala, ki jih je bil napravil Salomon za hišo GOSPODOVO; tehtati ni bilo mogoče brona od vseh teh priprav.

²¹And concerning the pillars, the height of one pillar was eighteen cubits; and a fillet of twelve cubits did compass it; and the thickness thereof was four fingers: it was hollow.

²¹Višina enega stebra je bila osemnajst komolcev in vrvica, dvanajst komolcev dolga, ga je obdajala; debel pa je bil štiri prste, votel.

²²And a chapiter of brass was upon it; and the height of one chapiter was five cubits, with network and pomegranates upon the chapiters round about, all of brass. The second pillar also and the pomegranates were like unto these.

²²In glavič na njem je bil iz brona, in višina glaviča je bila pet komolcev z mrežastim delom in granatnimi jabolki na glaviču kroginkrog, vse iz brona; in enak temu je bil drugi steber in na njem granatna jabolka.

²³And there were ninety and six pomegranates on a side; and all the pomegranates upon the network were an hundred round about.

²³In granatnih jabolk je bilo šestindevetdeset na vsako stran; vseh granatnih jabolk je bilo sto ob mrežastem delu kroginkrog.

²⁴And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door:

²⁴In glavar telesne straže je vzel Seraja, prvega duhovnika, in Zefanija, drugega duhovnika, in tri čuvaje pri vratih;

²⁵He took also out of the city an eunuch, which had the charge of the men of war; and seven men of them that were near the king's person, which were found in the city; and the principal scribe of the host, who mustered the people of the land; and threescore men of the people of the land, that were found in the midst of the city.

²⁵iz mesta pa je vzel enega dvornika, ki je bil postavljen nad vojščaki, in sedem 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:

²⁶So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.

²⁶te je vzel Nebuzaradan, glavar telesne straže, ter jih odpeljal h kralju babilonskemu v Riblo.

²⁷And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death in Riblah in the land of Hamath. Thus Judah was carried away captive out of his own land.

²⁷In kralj babilonski jih je udaril in usmrtil v Ribli, v Hamatski deželi. Tako je bil Juda preseljen v ujetništvo iz dežele svoje.

²⁸This is the people whom Nebuchadrezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year three thousand Jews and three and twenty:

²⁸To je ljudstvo, katero je odpeljal Nebukadnezar: v sedmem letu tri tisoč triindvajset Judov.

²⁹In the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty and two persons:

²⁹V osemnajstem letu Nebukadnezarja je odpeljal iz Jeruzalema duš osemsto trideset in dve.

³⁰In the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadrezzar Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred forty and five persons: all the persons were four thousand and six hundred.

³⁰V letu dvajsetem in tretjem Nebukadnezarja je Nebuzaradan, glavar telesne straže, odpeljal iz Judov duš sedemsto štirideset in pet; vseh duš štiri tisoč šest sto.

³¹And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the five and twentieth day of the month, that Evilmerodach king of Babylon in the first year of his reign lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison.

³¹Zgodi se pa v tridesetem in sedmem letu ujetništva Jojahinovega, kralja Judovega, dvanajsti mesec, petindvajseti dan meseca, da je Evil Merodak, kralj babilonski, v letu, ko je začel kraljevati, povišal glavo Jojahina, kralja Judovega, izpeljavši ga iz ječe.

³²And spake kindly unto him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon,

³²In govoril je prijazno ž njim in prestol njegov je postavil nad prestol kraljev, ki so bili ž njim v Babilonu.

³³And changed his prison garments: and he did continually eat bread before him all the days of his life.

³³In 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 babilonski, odmerjen za vsak dan do smrti, vse dni njegovega življenja.

³⁴And for his diet, there was a continual diet given him of the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life.

³⁴Kajti živež njegov, stalen živež mu je dajal kralj babilonski, odmerjen za vsak dan do smrti, vse dni njegovega življenja.
