¹U njegovo je vrijeme došao Nabukodonozor, kralj babilonski, i Jojakim mu je bio podložan tri godine, zatim se ponovno pobunio protiv njega.

¹In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim was his servant three years; then he turned and rebelled against him.

²Ovaj pak posla protiv njega kaldejske pljačkaške čete, aramejske, moapske i amonske, sve ih posla protiv Judeje da je opustoše, potvrđujući riječ koju je Jahve bio objavio po slugama svojim prorocima.

²And Jehovah sent against him the bands of the Chaldeans, and the bands of the Syrians, and the bands of the Moabites, and the bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of Jehovah, which he spoke through his servants the prophets.

³To se dogodilo Judeji prema prijetnji Jahvinoj da će je istrijebiti ispred svoga lica zbog grijeha Manašeovih: zbog svega što je Manaše učinio

³Verily, at the commandment of Jehovah it came to pass against Judah, that they should be removed out of his sight, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he had done;

⁴i zbog nedužne krvi koju je prolio, natopio Jeruzalem krvlju nedužnom. Jahve nije htio oprostiti.

⁴and also [because of] the innocent blood that he had shed; for he had filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and Jehovah would not pardon.

⁵Ostala povijest Jojakimova i sve što je učinio, zar sve to nije zapisano u knjizi Ljetopisa judejskih kraljeva?

⁵And the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

⁶Jojakim je počinuo kraj svojih otaca, a njegov sin Jojakin zavlada mjesto njega.

⁶And Jehoiakim slept with his fathers, and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead.

⁷Egipatski kralj nije više izlazio iz zemlje, jer je babilonski kralj osvojio od Egipatskog potoka do rijeke Eufrata sve što je pripadalo egipatskom kralju.

⁷And the king of Egypt came not again any more out of his land, for the king of Babylon had taken all that belonged to the king of Egypt, from the torrent of Egypt to the river Euphrates.

⁸Jojakinu je bilo osamnaest godina kad se zakraljio i kraljevao je tri mjeseca u Jeruzalemu. Materi mu je bilo ime Nehušta, kći Elnatana, i bila je iz Jeruzalema.

⁸Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Nehushta, daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.

⁹On je činio što je zlo u očima Jahvinim, sve kao što je činio i njegov otac.

⁹And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that his father had done.

¹⁰U ono vrijeme krenu ljudstvo babilonskog kralja Nabukodonozora protiv Jeruzalema i grad je bio opkoljen.

¹⁰At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.

¹¹Dođe i babilonski kralj Nabukodonozor da napadne grad, dok ga je njegovo ljudstvo opsjedalo.

¹¹And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came against the city, while his servants were besieging it.

¹²Tada je judejski kralj Jojakin izišao pred babilonskoga kralja: on, njegova majka, njegove sluge, njegove vojskovođe i dvorani, a babilonski kralj zarobi ga - osme godine svoga kraljevanja.

¹²And Jehoiachin king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his princes, and his chamberlains; and the king of Babylon took him in the eighth year of his reign.

¹³On je odnio sve iz riznice Doma Jahvina i iz riznica kraljevskog dvora i razbio je sve zlatne predmete koje je Salomon, kralj Izraela, načinio za Svetište Jahvino. Tako se ispunila riječ Jahvina.

¹³And he brought out thence all the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the king's house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold that Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of Jehovah, as Jehovah had said.

¹⁴Odveo je u progonstvo sav Jeruzalem, sve vojskovođe i sve vrsne ratnike, oko deset tisuća prognanika, sa svim kovačima i bravarima. Jedino je preostao najsiromašniji narod zemlje.

¹⁴And he carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valour, ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and smiths: none remained but the poorest sort of the people of the land.

¹⁵Odveo je Jojakina u Babilon; tako isto i kraljevu majku i sve žene kraljeve, njegove dvorane, plemenitaše zemlje, sve ih je odveo iz Jeruzalema u progonstvo u Babilon.

¹⁵And he carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, and the king's mother, and the king's wives, and his chamberlains, and the mighty of the land, he led into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon;

¹⁶Sve sposobne ljude, njih sedam tisuća na broju; kovače i bravare, tisuću na broju; sve ljude sposobne za boj, sve ih je kralj babilonski odveo u Babilon, u sužanjstvo.

¹⁶and all the men of valour, seven thousand, and the craftsmen and smiths a thousand, all strong men apt for war, and the king of Babylon brought them captive to Babylon.

¹⁷Babilonski je kralj postavio za kralja mjesto Jojakina njegova strica Mataniju, ali mu je promijenio ime u Sidkija.

¹⁷And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah his uncle king in his stead, and changed his name to Zedekiah.

¹⁸Sidkiji je bila dvadeset i jedna godina kad se zakraljio, a kraljevao je jedanaest godina u Jeruzalemu. Materi mu bijaše ime Hamitala, kći Jeremije, i bila je iz Libne.

¹⁸Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Hamutal, daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

¹⁹Činio je što je zlo u očima Jahvinim, sve kao što je činio Jojakin.

¹⁹And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.

²⁰To je zadesilo Jeruzalem i Judu zbog gnjeva Jahvina; Jahve ih napokon i odbaci ispred lica svoga. Sidkija se pobuni protiv babilonskog kralja.

²⁰For, because the anger of Jehovah was against Jerusalem and against Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence, Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
