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

¹V dnevih njegovih je prišel gori Nebukadnezar, kralj babilonski, in Jojakim mu je postal podložnik za tri leta; potem se je odvrnil in se mu uprl.

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

²In GOSPOD je poslal zoper njega trume Kaldejcev in trume Sircev in trume Moabcev in trume Amonovih sinov, poslal jih je zoper Judo, da ga pogube, po besedi GOSPODOVI, ki jo je govoril po hlapcih svojih, prorokih.

³Surely at the commandment of Yahweh came this on Judah, to remove them out of his sight, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did,

³Zares po povelju GOSPODOVEM je to prišlo nad Judo, da jih odpravi izpred obličja svojega, zaradi grehov Manasejevih, za vse, kar je storil;

⁴and also for the innocent blood that he shed; for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood: and Yahweh would not pardon.

⁴pa tudi za nedolžno kri, ki jo je prelil, zakaj napolnil je Jeruzalem z nedolžno krvjo. In GOSPOD ni hotel odpustiti.

⁵Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

⁵Kar je pa več praviti o Jojakimu in vse, kar je storil, ni li zapisano v knjigi letopisov kraljev Judovih?

⁶So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers; and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place.

⁶In legel je Jojakim k očetom svojim, in Jojahin, sin njegov, je zavladal na mestu njegovem.

⁷The king of Egypt didn’t come again out of his land any more; for the king of Babylon had taken, from the brook of Egypt to the river Euphrates, all that pertained to the king of Egypt.

⁷A kralj egiptovski ni šel več ven iz dežele svoje, zakaj kralj babilonski je zavzel vse od potoka Egiptovskega do reke Evfrata, kar je bilo kralja egiptovskega.

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

⁸Osemnajst let je bil star Jojahin, ko je zakraljeval, in vladal je tri mesece v Jeruzalemu. Materi njegovi je bilo ime Nehusta, hči Elnatanova iz Jeruzalema.

⁹He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, according to all that his father had done.

⁹In delal je, kar je bilo hudo v očeh GOSPODOVIH, po vsem, kar je bil delal oče njegov.

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

¹⁰V tistem času so prišli hlapci Nebukadnezarja, kralja babilonskega, gori proti Jeruzalemu, in mestu je nastalo obleganje.

¹¹Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to the city, while his servants were besieging it;

¹¹In Nebukadnezar, kralj babilonski, je dospel k mestu, ko so ga hlapci njegovi oblegali.

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

¹²Jojahin pa, kralj Judov, je šel iz mesta h kralju babilonskemu, on in mati njegova, hlapci njegovi, knezi in dvorniki njegovi; in kralj babilonski ga je sprejel kot jetnika v osmem letu svojega kraljevanja.

¹³He carried out there all the treasures of the house of Yahweh, and the treasures of the king’s house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold, which Solomon king of Israel had made in Yahweh’s temple, as Yahweh had said.

¹³In odnesel je odondod vse zaklade hiše GOSPODOVE in zaklade kraljeve hiše in razbil vse posode zlate, ki jih je napravil Salomon, kralj Izraelov, v templju GOSPODOVEM, kakor je bil govoril GOSPOD.

¹⁴He carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valor, even ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and the smiths; none remained, except the poorest sort of the people of the land.

¹⁴In preselil je v ujetništvo ves Jeruzalem in vse kneze in vse hrabre junake, deset tisoč ujetnikov, tudi vse kovače in ključalničarje; nikogar ni ostalo, samo nekaj ubožnega ljudstva.

¹⁵He carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon; and the king’s mother, and the king’s wives, and his officers, and the chief men of the land, carried he into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon.

¹⁵In odpeljal je Jojahina v Babilon, tudi mater kraljevo in žene kraljeve in dvornike njegove in deželne prvake je odpeljal v ujetništvo iz Jeruzalema v Babilon.

¹⁶All the men of might, even seven thousand, and the craftsmen and the smiths one thousand, all of them strong and apt for war, even them the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon.

¹⁶In vse vojščake, sedem tisoč, in ključalničarje in kovače, en tisoč, vse krepke in za vojno sposobne je kralj babilonski odpeljal ujete v Babilon.

¹⁷The king of Babylon made Mattaniah, Jehoiachin’s father’s brother, king is his place, and changed his name to Zedekiah.

¹⁷In kralj babilonski je postavil Matanija, strica Jojahinovega, za kralja namesto njega, premenivši mu ime v Zedekija.

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 the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

¹⁸Zedekija je bil enaindvajset let star, ko je zakraljeval, in vladal je enajst let v Jeruzalemu. Materi njegovi je bilo ime Hamutala, hči Jeremijeva iz Libne.

¹⁹He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.

¹⁹In delal je, kar je bilo hudo v očeh GOSPODOVIH, po vsem, kar je bil delal Jojakim.Zakaj vsled jeze GOSPODOVE se je tako godilo z Jeruzalemom in z Judo, dokler jih ni zavrgel izpred obličja svojega. In Zedekija se je uprl kralju babilonskemu.

²⁰For 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.

²⁰Zakaj vsled jeze GOSPODOVE se je tako godilo z Jeruzalemom in z Judo, dokler jih ni zavrgel izpred obličja svojega. In Zedekija se je uprl kralju babilonskemu.
