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 army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it; and they built forts against it round about.

¹Aga Sidkija hakkas Paabeli kuningale vastu. Ja oma valitsemise üheksandal aastal, kümnenda kuu kümnendal päeval, tuli Paabeli kuningas Nebukadnetsar, tema ja kogu ta sõjavägi, Jeruusalemma vastu ning lõi leeri üles selle alla; ja nad ehitasid linna ümber piiramisseadmed.

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

²Ja linna piirati kuni kuningas Sidkija üheteistkümnenda aastani.

³On the ninth day of the [fourth] month the famine was sore in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.

³Aga neljanda kuu üheksandal päeval võttis nälg linnas võimust ja maa rahval ei olnud leiba.

⁴Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war [fled] by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king's garden (now the Chaldeans were against the city round about); and [the king] went by the way of the Arabah.

⁴Siis murti linna sisse; aga kõik sõjamehed põgenesid öösel läbi müüridevahelise värava, mis oli kuninga rohuaia juures, kuigi kaldealased olid ümber linna; ja nad läksid lagendiku poole.

⁵But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.

⁵Aga kaldealaste sõjavägi ajas kuningat taga ja nad said ta kätte Jeeriko lagendikel, kui kõik ta sõjavägi oli tema juurest laiali läinud.

⁶Then they took the king, and carried him up unto the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they gave judgment upon him.

⁶Ja nad võtsid kuninga kinni ning viisid ta Paabeli kuninga juurde Riblasse ja mõistsid tema üle kohut.

⁷And they slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him in fetters, and carried him to Babylon.

⁷Ja nad tapsid Sidkija pojad tema silme ees. Sidkija silmad tehti pimedaks ja ta aheldati vaskahelaisse ning viidi Paabelisse.

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

⁸Ja viienda kuu seitsmendal päeval, see on kuningas Nebukadnetsari, Paabeli kuninga üheksateistkümnendal aastal, tuli Nebusaradan, ihukaitsepealik, Paabeli kuninga sulane, Jeruusalemma.

⁹And he burnt the house of Jehovah, and the king's house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, burnt he with fire.

⁹Ja tema põletas ära Issanda koja ja kuningakoja ning kõik Jeruusalemma kojad; nimelt kõik suured kojad ta põletas tulega.

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

¹⁰Ja kogu kaldealaste sõjavägi, kes oli koos ihukaitsepealikuga, kiskus maha Jeruusalemma ümbritsevad müürid.

¹¹And the residue of the people that were left in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to the king of Babylon, and the residue of the multitude, did Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carry away captive.

¹¹Ja rahva ülejäänud osa, kes oli jäänud linna, ja ülejooksikud, kes olid üle jooksnud Paabeli kuninga poole, ja muud rahva riismed viis ihukaitsepealik Nebusaradan vangi.

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

¹²Aga ihukaitsepealik jättis maa vaesemast rahvast alles viinamägede harijaid ja teopäevade tegijaid.

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

¹³Vasksambad, mis olid Issanda kojas, ja alused ning vaskmere, mis olid Issanda kojas, kaldealased purustasid ja viisid nende vase Paabelisse.

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

¹⁴Potid, labidad, tahikäärid, kausid ja kõik vaskriistad, millega peeti teenistust, võtsid nad ära.

¹⁵And the firepans, and the basins, that which was of gold, in gold, and that which was of silver, in silver, the captain of the guard took away.

¹⁵Samuti võttis ihukaitsepealik ära sütepannid ja piserdusnõud, mis olid puhtast kullast ja puhtast hõbedast.

¹⁶The two pillars, the one sea, and the bases, which Solomon had made for the house of Jehovah, the brass of all these vessels was without weight.

¹⁶Mõlema samba, vaskmere ja aluste, mis Saalomon oli teinud Issanda koja jaoks - kõigi nende asjade vask oli vaagimatu.

¹⁷The height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, and a capital of brass was upon it; and the height of the capital was three cubits, with network and pomegranates upon the capital round about, all of brass: and like unto these had the second pillar with network.

¹⁷Ühe samba kõrgus oli kaheksateist küünart; nupp selle peal oli vasest ja nupu kõrgus oli kolm küünart; võrestik ja granaatõunad ümber nupu olid kõik vasest; ja samasugune oli teine sammas võrestikuga.

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

¹⁸Ja ihukaitsepealik võttis Seraja, ülempreestri, ja Sefanja, temast järgmise preestri, ja kolm lävehoidjat,

¹⁹and out of the city he took an officer that was set over the men of war; and five men of them that saw the king's face, who were found in the city; and the scribe, the captain of the host, who mustered the people of the land; and threescore men of the people of the land, that were found in the city.

¹⁹ja võttis linnast ühe hoovkondlase, kes oli olnud sõjameeste käsutaja, ja viis meest kuninga lähikonnast, kes leiti linnast, ja väepealiku kirjutaja, kes värbas maa rahvast sõjaväkke, ja kuuskümmend meest maa rahva hulgast, kes leiti linnast.

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

²⁰Nebusaradan, ihukaitsepealik, võttis ja viis nad Paabeli kuninga juurde Riblasse.

²¹And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away captive out of his land.

²¹Ja Paabeli kuningas lõi nad maha ning surmas nad Riblas, Hamatimaal. Nõnda viidi Juuda vangi oma maalt.

²²And as for the people that were left 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, governor.

²²Aga rahvale, kes jäi Juudamaale, kelle Paabeli kuningas Nebukadnetsar alles jättis, pani ta maavalitsejaks Gedalja, Saafani poja Ahikami poja.

²³Now when all the captains of the forces, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of the Maacathite, they and their men.

²³Ja kui kõik sõjaväepealikud, nemad ja nende mehed, kuulsid, et Paabeli kuningas oli pannud Gedalja maavalitsejaks, siis tulid nad Gedalja juurde Mispasse, ja nimelt: Ismael, Netanja poeg, ja Joohanan, Kaareahi poeg, ja Seraja, netofalase Tanhumeti poeg, ja Jaasanja, maakatlase poeg, nemad ja nende mehed.

²⁴And Gedaliah sware to them and to their men, and said unto them, Fear not because of the servants of the Chaldeans: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.

²⁴Ja Gedalja vandus neile ja nende meestele ning ütles neile: 'Ärge kartke kaldealaste sulaseid! Jääge maale ja teenige Paabeli kuningat, siis on teil hea põli!'

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, so that he died, and the Jews and the Chaldeans that were with him at Mizpah.

²⁵Aga seitsmendas kuus tuli Ismael, Elisama poja Netanja poeg, kuninglikust soost, ja kümme meest koos temaga, ja nad lõid surnuks Gedalja ning need juudid ja kaldealased, kes olid tema juures Mispas.

²⁶And all the people, both small and great, and the captains of the forces, arose, and came to Egypt; for they were afraid of the Chaldeans.

²⁶Siis kogu rahvas, pisimast suurimani, ja sõjaväepealikud - kõik võtsid kätte ja läksid Egiptusesse, sest nad kartsid kaldealasi.

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 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;

²⁷Aga kolmekümne seitsmendal aastal pärast Juuda kuninga Joojakini vangiviimist, kaheteistkümnenda kuu kahekümne seitsmendal päeval sel aastal, kui ta sai kuningaks, tõstis Paabeli kuningas Evil-Merodak üles Juuda kuninga Joojakini pea vangikojast

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

²⁸ja kõneles temaga lahkesti ning andis temale istme ülemale nende kuningate istmeist, kes olid tema juures Paabelis.

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

²⁹Siis ta vahetas oma vangiriided ja sõi alaliselt tema juures leiba kogu oma eluaja.

³⁰and for his allowance, there was a continual allowance given him of the king, every day a portion, all the days of his life.

³⁰Ta sai kuningalt ülalpidamise, alalise ülalpidamise, iga päev oma osa kõik tema elupäevad.
