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.

¹Zedekiah 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.

²Činio je što je zlo u očima Jahvinim, sve kao što je činio Jojakin.

²And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.

³To je zadesilo Jeruzalem zbog gnjeva Jahvina; Jahve ih napokon i odbaci ispred lica svoga. Sidkija se pobunio protiv babilonskog kralja.

³For, because the anger of Jehovah was against Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence, Zedekiah 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.

⁴And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth of the month, [that] Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem; and they encamped against it, and built turrets against it round about.

⁵Grad osta opkoljen sve do jedanaeste godine Sidkijina kraljevanja.

⁵And the city was besieged until the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.

⁶Devetoga dana četvrtoga mjeseca, kad je u gradu zavladala takva glad da priprosti puk nije imao ni kruha,

⁶In the fourth month, on the ninth of the month, the famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land.

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.

⁷And the city was broken into: 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 near the city round about); and they went the way toward the plain.

⁸Kaldejske čete nagnuše za njim u potjeru i sustigoše Sidkiju na Jerihonskim poljanama, a sva se njegova vojska razbježala.

⁸And 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.

⁹I Kaldejci uhvatiše kralja i odvedoše ga u Riblu, u zemlji hamatskoj, pred kralja babilonskog, koji mu izreče presudu.

⁹And they took the king, and brought him up to the king of Babylon, unto Riblah in the land of Hamath, and he pronounced judgment upon him.

¹⁰Pokla Sidkijine sinove pred njegovim očima, pobi u Ribli sve Judine knezove;

¹⁰And the king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes; and he slaughtered also all the princes of Judah in Riblah.

¹¹Sidkiji iskopa oči i okova ga verigama i odvede u Babilon, gdje ga je držao u tamnici sve do smrti njegove.

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

¹²Desetoga dana petoga mjeseca - devetnaeste godine kraljevanja Nabukodonozora, kralja babilonskog - uđe u Jeruzalem Nebuzaradan, zapovjednik tjelesne straže.

¹²And in the fifth month, on the tenth of the month, which was in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, Nebuzar-adan, captain of the body-guard, who stood before the king of Babylon, came unto Jerusalem;

¹³On zapali Dom Jahvin, kraljevski dvor i sve kuće u Jeruzalemu, osobito kuće uglednika;

¹³and he burned the house of Jehovah, and the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem; and every great [man's] house he burned with fire.

¹⁴kaldejske čete, pod zapovjednikom tjelesne straže, razoriše zidine oko Jeruzalema.

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

¹⁵Nebuzaradan, zapovjednik tjelesne straže, odvede u sužanjstvo ostatak naroda koji bijaše ostao u gradu, a tako i prebjege babilonskom kralju i ostalu svjetinu.

¹⁵And Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard carried away captive of the poorest sort of the people, and the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the deserters that had deserted to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude.

¹⁶Neke od malih ljudi Nebuzaradan ostavi u zemlji kao vinogradare i ratare.

¹⁶But Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard left of the poor of the land for vinedressers and for husbandmen.

¹⁷Kaldejci razbiše tučane stupove u Domu Jahvinu, podnožja i mjedeno more u Domu Jahvinu, i tuč odniješe u Babilon.

¹⁷And the brazen pillars that were in the house of Jehovah, and the bases, and the brazen sea that was in the house of Jehovah, the Chaldeans broke up, and carried all the brass thereof to Babylon.

¹⁸Uzeše i lonce, lopate, noževe, posudice i uopće sav tučani pribor koji se upotrebljavao za bogoslužja.

¹⁸The pots also, and the shovels, and the knives, and the bowls, and the cups, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, they took away.

¹⁹Zapovjednik uze i umivaonice, kadionice, škropionice, lonce, svijećnjake, zdjele, žrtvene pehare, uopće sve što bijaše od zlata i srebra,

¹⁹And the basons and the censers, and the bowls, and the pots, and the candlesticks, and the cups, and the goblets, that which was of gold in gold, and that which was of silver in silver, the captain of the body-guard took away.

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.

²⁰The two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve brazen oxen that formed the bases, which king Solomon had made for the house of Jehovah: for the brass of all these vessels there was no weight.

²¹Prvi stup bijaše visok osamnaest lakata - obuhvatiti ga je mogao konop od dvanaest lakata - bijaše četiri prsta debeo, a šupalj.

²¹And as to the pillars: the height of one pillar was eighteen cubits, and a line of twelve cubits encompassed it; and the thickness thereof was four fingers: it was hollow.

²²Imao je glavicu od tuča, visoku pet lakata; i obvijaše je oplet i mogranji, a sve od tuča. Takav je bio i drugi stup.

²²And the capital upon it was brass, and the height of the one capital [was] five cubits; and the network and the pomegranates, upon the capital round about, all of brass; and similarly for the second pillar, and the pomegranates.

²³A devedeset i šest šipaka slobodno je visjelo. Sve u svemu bijaše oko sto šipaka u tom opletu.

²³And there were ninety-six pomegranates on the [four] sides; all the pomegranates upon the network were a hundred round about.

²⁴Zapovjednik je straže odveo svećeničkog poglavara Seraju, drugog svećenika, Sefaniju, i tri čuvara praga.

²⁴And the captain of the body-guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, 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.

²⁵And out of the city he took a eunuch that was set over the men of war, and seven men of them that were in the king's presence, who were found in the city, and the scribe of the captain of the host, who enrolled the people of the land. And sixty men of the people of the land that were found in the midst of the city.

²⁶Zapovjednik tjelesne straže Nebuzaradan odvede ih pred kralja babilonskog u Riblu.

²⁶And Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah;

²⁷I kralj babilonski zapovjedi da ih pogube u Ribli, u zemlji hamatskoj. Tako su judejski narod odveli s njegove rodne grude.

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

²⁸Evo broja ljudstva što ga Nabukodonozor odvede u sužanjstvo: sedme godine tri tisuće i dvadeset tri Judejca;

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

²⁹osamnaeste godine Nabukodonozorove osamsto trideset i dvije osobe iz Jeruzalema;

²⁹in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar [he carried away captive] from Jerusalem eight hundred and thirty-two persons;

³⁰dvadeset i treće godine Nabukodonozorove, Nebuzaradan, zapovjednik tjelesne straže, odvede sedam stotina četrdeset i pet Judejaca. U svemu: četiri tisuće i šest stotona osoba.

³⁰in the twenty-third year of Nebuchadrezzar, Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred and forty-five persons: all the persons were four thousand six hundred.

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.

³¹And it came to pass in the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-fifth of the month, [that] Evil-Merodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison;

³²Ljubezno je s njim razgovarao i stolicu mu postavio više nego drugim kraljevima koji bijahu s njim u Babilonu.

³²and he spoke kindly unto him, and set his seat above the seat of the kings that were with him in Babylon.

³³Jojakin je odložio svoje tamničke haljine i jeo s kraljem za istim stolom svega svoga vijeka.

³³And he changed his prison garments; and he ate bread before him continually all the days of his life;

³⁴Do kraja njegova života, sve do smrti, babilonski mu je kralj trajno, iz dana u dan, davao uzdržavanje.

³⁴and his allowance was a continual allowance given him by the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life.
