¹Tedaj vzame ljudstvo dežele Joahaza, sina Josijevega, in ga postavijo za kralja na mestu očeta njegovega v Jeruzalemu.

¹And the people of the land take Jehoahaz son of Josiah, and cause him to reign instead of his father in Jerusalem.

²Joahaz je bil triindvajset let star, ko je zakraljeval, in vladal je tri mesece v Jeruzalemu.

²A son of three and twenty years [is] Jehoahaz in his reigning, and three months he hath reigned in Jerusalem,

³A kralj egiptovski ga je odstavil v Jeruzalemu in naložil deželi globo: sto talentov srebra in talent zlata.

³and turn him aside doth the king of Egypt in Jerusalem, and fineth the land a hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold;

⁴In kralj egiptovski je postavil Eljakima, brata njegovega, za kralja nad Judo in Jeruzalemom in mu premenil ime v Jojakima. Joahaza pa, brata njegovega, je Neko vzel in odpeljal v Egipt.

⁴and the king of Egypt causeth Eliakim his brother to reign over Judah and Jerusalem, and turneth his name to Jehoiakim; and Jehoahaz his brother hath Necho taken, and bringeth him in to Egypt.

⁵Jojakim je bil petindvajset let star, ko je zakraljeval, in vladal je enajst let v Jeruzalemu in delal, kar je bilo hudo v očeh GOSPODA, Boga njegovega.

⁵A son of twenty and five years [is] Jehoiakim in his reigning, and eleven years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah his God;

⁶Zoper njega je prišel Nebukadnezar, kralj babilonski, in ga zvezal z dvema bronastima verigama, da bi ga peljal v Babilon.

⁶against him hath Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon come up, and bindeth him in brazen fetters to take him away to Babylon.

⁷Nebukadnezar je prinesel tudi nekaj posod iz hiše GOSPODOVE v Babilon in jih je del v svoj tempelj v Babilonu.

⁷And of the vessels of the house of Jehovah hath Nebuchadnezzar brought in to Babylon, and putteth them in his temple in Babylon.

⁸Kar je pa več praviti o Jojakimu, in gnusobe njegove, ki jih je počenjal, in kar se je našlo pri njem, glej, zapisano je v knjigi kraljev Izraelovih in Judovih. In Jojahin [Jekonija, Konija.], sin njegov, je zavladal na mestu njegovem.

⁸And the rest of the matters of Jehoiakim, and his abominations that he hath done, and that which is found against him, lo, they are written on the book of the kings of Israel and Judah, and reign doth Jehoiachin his son in his stead.

⁹Jojahin je bil osemnajst let star, ko je zakraljeval, in vladal je tri mesece in deset dni v Jeruzalemu; in delal je, kar je bilo hudo v očeh GOSPODOVIH.

⁹A son of eight years is Jehoiachin in his reigning, and three months and ten days he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah;

¹⁰Ko je pa to leto minilo, pošlje Nebukadnezar ter ga veli peljati v Babilon z dragocenimi posodami iz hiše GOSPODOVE vred, in postavi Zedekija, brata njegovega, za kralja nad Judo in Jeruzalemom.

¹⁰and at the turn of the year hath king Nebuchadnezzar sent and bringeth him in to Babylon, with the desirable vessels of the house of Jehovah, and causeth Zedekiah his brother to reign over Judah and Jerusalem.

¹¹Zedekija je bil enoindvajset let star, ko je zakraljeval, in vladal je enajst let v Jeruzalemu;

¹¹A son of twenty and one years [is] Zedekiah in his reigning, and eleven years he hath reigned in Jerusalem;

¹²in delal je, kar je bilo hudo v očeh GOSPODA, njegovega Boga, in se ni ponižal pred prorokom Jeremijem, ko mu je govoril iz ust GOSPODOVIH.

¹²and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah his God, he hath not been humbled before Jeremiah the prophet [speaking] from the mouth of Jehovah;

¹³On se je tudi izneveril kralju Nebukadnezarju, ki ga je bil zavezal s prisego pri Bogu. In otrdil je zatilnik svoj in zakrknil svoje srce, da ne bi se preobrnil h GOSPODU, Bogu Izraelovemu.

¹³and also, against king Nebuchadnezzar he hath rebelled, who had caused him to swear by God, and he hardeneth his neck, and strengtheneth his heart, against turning back unto Jehovah, God of Israel.

¹⁴Vrhutega so vsi poglavarji duhovnikov in ljudstvo jako množili verolomnost, delajoč po vseh gnusobah poganov, in onečistili so hišo GOSPODOVO, ki jo je bil posvetil v Jeruzalemu.

¹⁴Also, all the heads of the priests, and the people, having multiplied to commit a trespass according to all the abominations of the nations, and they defile the house of Jehovah that He hath sanctified in Jerusalem.

¹⁵In Jehova, Bog njih očetov, jih je opominjal po svojih poslancih, od ranega jutra in neprenehoma, ker se mu je smililo ljudstvo njegovo in prebivališče njegovo.

¹⁵And Jehovah, God of their fathers, sendeth unto them by the hand of His messengers -- rising early and sending -- for He hath had pity on His people, and on His habitation,

¹⁶A oni so zasmehovali poslance Božje in zaničevali besede njegove in za norce imeli njegove proroke, dokler ni zrasla jeza GOSPODOVA nad ljudstvom njegovim, da ni bilo več lečitve.

¹⁶and they are mocking at the messengers of God, and despising His words, and acting deceitfully with His prophets, till the going up of the fury of Jehovah against His people -- till there is no healing.

¹⁷Zato je pripeljal nadnje kralja Kaldejcev, ki so pomorili njih mlado moštvo z mečem v hiši njih svetinje in niso prizanesli mladeniču, ne devici, ne starcu, ne sivolascu; vse jih je izdal njemu v roko.

¹⁷And He causeth to go up against them the king of the Chaldeans, and he slayeth their chosen ones by the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and hath had no pity on young man and virgin, old man and very aged -- the whole He hath given into his hand.

¹⁸In vse posode hiše Božje, velike in male, in zaklade hiše Božje in zaklade kralja in knezov njegovih, vse te je odpeljal v Babilon.

¹⁸And all the vessels of the house of God, the great and the small, and the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the king and of his princes -- the whole he hath brought in to Babylon.

¹⁹In sežgali so z ognjem hišo Božjo in porušili zidovje jeruzalemsko in požgali vse palače v njem in uničili vse dragocene posode v njih.

¹⁹And they burn the house of God, and break down the wall of Jerusalem, and all its palaces they have burnt with fire, and all its desirable vessels -- to destruction.

²⁰In kar jih je preostalo po meču, so odvedli ujete v Babilon, in bili so hlapci njemu in sinovom njegovim, dokler ni zavladalo kraljestvo perzijsko,

²⁰And he removeth those left of the sword unto Babylon, and they are to him and to his sons for servants, till the reigning of the kingdom of Persia,

²¹da bi se dopolnila beseda GOSPODOVA po ustih Jeremijevih, „dokler se ne bo dežela naužila sobot svojih“. Dokler je ležala pusta, je uživala soboto, da se je izpolnilo sedemdeset let.

²¹to fulfil the word of Jehovah in the mouth of Jeremiah, till the land hath enjoyed its sabbaths; all the days of the desolation it kept sabbath -- to the fulness of seventy years.

²²V prvem letu pa Cira, kralja Perzije, da bi se dopolnila beseda GOSPODOVA po ustih Jeremijevih, je GOSPOD obudil duha Cira, kralja Perzije, da je velel proglasiti po vsej kraljevini svoji, pa tudi pismeno naznaniti:Tako pravi Cir, kralj Perzije: Vsa kraljestva zemlje mi je dal GOSPOD, Bog nebes, in mi je naročil zgraditi mu hišo v Jeruzalemu, ki je na Judovem. Kdorkoli torej je med vami iz vsega ljudstva njegovega, s tem bodi GOSPOD, njegov Bog, in pojdi tja gori!

²²And in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, at the completion of the word of Jehovah in the mouth of Jeremiah, hath Jehovah waked up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, and he causeth an intimation to pass over into all his kingdom, and also in writing, saying,

²³Tako pravi Cir, kralj Perzije: Vsa kraljestva zemlje mi je dal GOSPOD, Bog nebes, in mi je naročil zgraditi mu hišo v Jeruzalemu, ki je na Judovem. Kdorkoli torej je med vami iz vsega ljudstva njegovega, s tem bodi GOSPOD, njegov Bog, in pojdi tja gori!

²³`Thus said Cyrus king of Persia, All kingdoms of the earth hath Jehovah, God of the heavens, given to me, and He hath laid a charge on me to build to Him a house in Jerusalem, that [is] in Judah; who is among you of all His people? Jehovah his God [is] with him, and he doth go up.'
