2 Kroniška 36
1 Potem je ljudstvo dežele vzelo Jošíjevega sina Joaháza in ga v Jeruzalemu postavilo [za] kralja namesto njegovega očeta.
Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in his father’s place in Jerusalem.
2 Joaház je bil star triindvajset let, ko je začel kraljevati in v Jeruzalemu je kraljeval tri mesece.
Joahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.
3 Egiptovski kralj ga je odstavil v Jeruzalemu in deželo obsodil na sto talentov srebra in talent zlata.
The king of Egypt removed him from office at Jerusalem, and fined the land one hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
4 Egiptovski kralj je postavil njegovega brata Eljakíma [za] kralja nad Judom in Jeruzalemom ter njegovo ime spremenil v Jojakím. Neho je vzel njegovega brata Joaháza in ga odvedel v Egipt.
The king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. Neco took Joahaz his brother, and carried him to Egypt.
5 Jojakím je bil star petindvajset let, ko je začel kraljevati in v Jeruzalemu je kraljevati enajst let. Počel je to, kar je bilo zlo v očeh Gospoda, njegovega Boga.
Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. He did that which was evil in the LORD his God’s sight.
6 Zoper njega je prišel gor babilonski kralj Nebukadnezar in ga zvezal v okove, da ga odvede v Babilon.
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against him, and bound him in fetters to carry him to Babylon.
7 Nebukadnezar je v Babilon odnesel tudi posode Gospodove hiše in jih postavil v svoj tempelj v Babilonu.
Nebuchadnezzar also carried some of the vessels of the LORD’s house to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon.
8 Torej preostala izmed Jojakímovih dejanj in njegove ogabnosti, ki jih je storil in to, kar je bilo najdeno v njem, glej, ta so zapisana v knjigi Izraelovih in Judovih kraljev, in namesto njega je zakraljeval njegov sin Jojahín.
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and his abominations which he did, and that which was found in him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah; and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place.
9 Jojahín je bil star osem let, ko je začel kraljevati in v Jeruzalemu je kraljeval tri mesece in deset dni. Počel je to, kar je bilo zlo v Gospodovih očeh.
Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem. He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight.
10 Ko je minilo leto, je kralj Nebukadnezar poslal in ga privedel v Babilon, s čudovitimi posodami Gospodove hiše in je njegovega brata Sedekíja postavil [za] kralja nad Judom in Jeruzalemom.
At the return of the year, King Nebuchadnezzar sent and brought him to Babylon, with the valuable vessels of the LORD’s house, and made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem.
11 Sedekíja je bil star enaindvajset let, ko je začel kraljevati in v Jeruzalemu je kraljeval enajst let.
Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.
12 Počel je to, kar je bilo zlo v očeh Gospoda, njegovega Boga in se ni ponižal pred prerokom Jeremijem, ki je govoril iz Gospodovih ust.
He did that which was evil in the LORD his God’s sight. He didn’t humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet speaking from the LORD’s mouth.
13 Uprl se je tudi zoper kralja Nebukadnezarja, ki ga je pripravil, da priseže pri Bogu. Toda otrdil je svoj vrat in zakrknil svoje srce pred obrnitvijo h Gospodu, Izraelovemu Bogu.
He also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God; but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart against turning to the LORD, the God of Israel.
14 Poleg tega so se vse vodje izmed duhovnikov in ljudstva zelo pregrešili za vsemi ogabnostmi poganov in oskrunili Gospodovo hišo, ki jo je posvetil v Jeruzalemu.
Moreover all the chiefs of the priests and the people trespassed very greatly after all the abominations of the nations; and they polluted the LORD’s house which he had made holy in Jerusalem.
15 Gospod, Bog njihovih očetov je pošiljal k njim po svojih poslancih, zgodaj vstajal in pošiljal, ker je imel sočutje do njegovega ljudstva in do njegovih prebivališč.
The LORD, the God of their fathers, sent to them by his messengers, rising up early and sending, because he had compassion on his people and on his dwelling place;
16 Toda zasmehovali so Božje poslance, prezirali njegove besede in zlorabljali njegove preroke, dokler ni zoper njegovo ljudstvo vstal Gospodov bes, dokler tam ni bilo zdravila.
but they mocked the messengers of God, despised his words, and scoffed at his prophets, until the LORD’s wrath arose against his people, until there was no remedy.
17 Zato je nadnje privedel kralja Kaldejcev, ki je njihove mladeniče usmrtil z mečem v hiši njihovega svetišča in ni imel sočutja nad mladeničem ali mladenko, starcem ali tistim, ki je sklonjen zaradi starosti; vse jih je izročil v njegovo roko.
Therefore he brought on them the king of the Kasdim, who killed their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion on young man or virgin, old man or infirm. He gave them all into his hand.
18 Vse posode Božje hiše, velike in majhne, zaklade Gospodove hiše in kraljeve zaklade in [zaklade] njegovih princev; vse te je prinesel v Babilon.
All the vessels of God’s house, great and small, and the treasures of the LORD’s house, and the treasures of the king and of his princes, all these he brought to Babylon.
19 Zažgali so Božjo hišo, porušili jeruzalemsko obzidje, vse palače požgali z ognjem in uničili vse njegove čudovite posode.
They burned God’s house, broke down the wall of Jerusalem, burned all its palaces with fire, and destroyed all of its valuable vessels.
20 Tiste, ki so pobegnili pred mečem, je odvedel v Babilon, kjer so bili služabniki njemu in njegovim sinovom do kraljevanja perzijskega kraljestva,
He carried those who had escaped from the sword away to Babylon, and they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia,
21 da izpolni Gospodovo besedo po Jeremijevih ustih, dokler se dežela ne naužije svojih šabat, kajti dokler leži zapuščena, praznuje šabate, da izpolni sedemdeset let.
to fulfill the LORD’s word by Jeremiah’s mouth, until the land had enjoyed its Sabbaths. As long as it lay desolate, it kept Sabbath, to fulfill seventy years.
22 Torej v prvem letu perzijskega kralja Kira, da bi se Gospodova beseda, govorjena po ustih Jeremija, lahko dovršila, je Gospod razvnel duha perzijskega kralja Kira, da je naredil razglas po vsem svojem kraljestvu in ga položil tudi v pisanje, rekoč:
Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the LORD’s word by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,
23 »Tako govori Kir, kralj Perzije: ›Vsa kraljestva zemlje je Gospod, Bog nebes, izročil meni in zadolžil me je, da mu zgradim hišo v Jeruzalemu, ki je v Judeji. Kdo je tukaj med vami izmed vsega njegovega ljudstva? Gospod, njegov Bog naj bo z njim in naj ta gre gor.‹«
“Cyrus king of Persia says, ‘The LORD, the God of heaven, has given all the kingdoms of the earth to me; and he has commanded me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever there is among you of all his people, the LORD his God be with him, and let him go up.’”
