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.

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 the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

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

²He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.

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.

³For through the anger of Yahweh it happened in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence. Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

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.

⁴It happened 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.

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

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

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

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

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.

⁷Then a breach was made in the city, 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 against the city all around;) and they went toward the Arabah.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

¹¹He put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him in fetters, and carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison until the day of his death.

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

¹²Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, who stood before the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem:

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

¹³and he burned the house of Yahweh, and the king’s house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, burned he with fire.

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

¹⁴All the army of the Chaldeans, who were with the captain of the guard, broke down all the walls of Jerusalem all around.

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.

¹⁵Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the poorest of the people, and the residue of the people who were left in the city, and those who fell away, who fell to the king of Babylon, and the residue of the multitude.

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

¹⁶But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poorest of the land to be vineyard keepers and farmers.

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.

¹⁷The Chaldeans broke the pillars of brass that were in the house of Yahweh, and the bases and the bronze sea that were in the house of Yahweh in pieces, and carried all the of their brass to Babylon.

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

¹⁸They also took away the pots, the shovels, the snuffers, the basins, the spoons, and all the vessels of brass with which they ministered.

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.

¹⁹The captain of the guard took away the cups, the fire pans, the basins, the pots, the lampstands, the spoons, and the bowls; that which was of gold, in gold, and that which was of silver, in silver.

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.

²⁰They took the two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve bronze bulls that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made for the house of Yahweh. The brass of all these vessels was without weight.

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

²¹As for the pillars, the height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits; and a line of twelve cubits encircled it; and its thickness was four fingers. It was hollow.

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.

²²A capital of brass was on it; and the height of the one capital was five cubits, with network and pomegranates on the capital all around, all of brass: and the second pillar also had like these, and pomegranates.

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

²³There were ninety-six pomegranates on the sides; all the pomegranates were one hundred on the network all around.

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

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

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:

²⁵and out of the city he took an officer who was set over the men of war; and seven men of those who saw the king’s face, who were found in the city; and the scribe of the captain of the army, who mustered the people of the land; and sixty men of the people of the land, who were found in the midst of the city.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

²⁹in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty-two persons;

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.

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

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.

³¹It happened 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;

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

³²and he spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings who were with him in Babylon,

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.

³³and changed his prison garments. Jehoiachin ate bread before him continually 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.

³⁴and for his allowance, there 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.
