Anden Krønikebog 36
1 Og Folket i Landet tog Joakas, Josias's Søn, og de gjorde ham til Konge i hans Faders Sted, i Jerusalem.
Then the people of the land took Joachaz the son of Josias, and made him king instead of his father in Jerusalem.
2 Joakas var tre og tyve Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede tre Maaneder i Jerusalem;
Joachaz was three and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.
3 men Kongen af Ægypten afsatte ham i Jerusalem og straffede Landet paa hundrede Centner Sølv og et Centner Guld.
And the king of Egypt came to Jerusalem, and deposed him, and condemned the land in a hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.
4 Og Kongen af Ægypten gjorde Eliakim, hans Broder, til Konge over Juda og Jerusalem og omvendte hans Navn til Jojakim; men Neko tog hans Broder Joakas og førte ham til Ægypten.
And he made Eliakim his brother king in his stead, over Juda and Jerusalem: and he turned his name to Joakim: but he took Joachaz with him, and carried him away into Egypt.
5 Jojakim var fem og tyve Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede elleve Aar i Jerusalem; og han gjorde det, som var ondt for Herrens, hans Guds, Øjne.
Joakim was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and he did evil before the Lord his God.
6 Nebukadnezar, Kongen af Babel, drog op imod ham og bandt ham med to Kobberlænker for at føre ham til Babel.
Against him came up Nabuchodonosor king of the Chaldeans, and led him bound in chains into Babylon.
7 Og Nebukadnezar førte nogle af Herrens Hus's Kar til Babel og lagde dem i sit Tempel i Babel.
And he carried also thither the vessels of the Lord, and put them in his temple.
8 Men det øvrige af Jojakims Handeler og hans Vederstyggeligheder, som han gjorde, og det, som fandtes hos ham, se, de Ting ere skrevne i Israels og Judas Kongers Bog; og Jojakin, hans Søn, blev Konge i hans Sted.
But the rest of the acts of Joakim, and his abominations, which he wrought, and the things that were found in him, are contained in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel. And Joachin his son reigned in his stead.
9 Jojakin var otte Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede tre Maaneder og ti Dage i Jerusalem og gjorde det, som var ondt for Herrens Øjne.
Joachin was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem, and he did evil in the sight of the Lord.
10 Men der Aaret var omme, sendte Kong Nebukadnezar hen og lod ham føre til Babel tillige med Herrens Hus's kostelige Kar og gjorde Zedekias, hans Broder, til Konge over Juda og Jerusalem.
And at the return of the year, king Nabuchodonosor sent, and brought him to Babylon, carrying away at the same time the most precious vessels of the house of the Lord: and he made Sedecias his uncle king over Juda and Jerusalem.
11 Zedekias var et og tyve Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede elleve Aar i Jerusalem.
Sedecias was one and twenty years old when he began to reign: and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.
12 Og han gjorde det, som var ondt for Herren, hans Guds, Øjne; han ydmygede sig ikke for Profeten Jeremias, som talte af Herrens Mund.
And he did evil in the eyes of the Lord his God, and did not reverence the face of Jeremias the prophet speaking to him from the mouth of the Lord.
13 Tilmed faldt han og af fra Kong Nebukadnezar, som havde ladet ham sværge ved Gud; og han gjorde sin Nakke stiv og forhærdede sit Hjerte og vilde ikke omvende sig til Herren, Israels Gud.
He also revolted from king Nabuchodonosor, who had made him swear by God: and he hardened his neck and his heart, from returning to the Lord the God of Israel.
14 Og alle de øverste iblandt Præsterne og Folket forsyndede sig saare meget, idet de efterlignede alle Hedningernes Vederstyggeligheder og besmittede Herrens Hus, som han havde helliget i Jerusalem.
Moreover all the chief of the priests, and the people wickedly transgressed according to all the abominations of the Gentiles: and they defiled the house of the Lord, which he had sanctified to himself in Jerusalem.
15 Og Herren, deres Fædres Gud, sendte til dem ved sine Sendebud tidligt og ideligt; thi han vilde skaane sit Folk og sin Bolig.
And the Lord the God of their fathers sent to them, by the hand of his messengers, rising early, and daily admonishing them: because he spared his people and his dwelling place.
16 Men de bespottede Guds Sendebud og foragtede hans Ord og forhaanede hans Profeter, indtil Herrens Vrede tog til over hans Folk, indtil der var ingen Lægedom mere.
But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused the prophets, until the wrath of the Lord arose against his people, and there was no remedy.
17 Og han førte Kaldæernes Konge op imod dem, og denne ihjelslog deres unge Karle med Sværd udi deres Helligdoms Hus og sparede hverken unge Karle eller Jomfruer, gamle eller udlevede; han gav dem alle i hans Haand.
For he brought upon them the king of the Chaldeans, and he slew their young men with the sword in the house of his sanctuary, he had no compassion on young man, or maiden, old man or even him that stooped for age, but he delivered them all into his hands.
18 Og alle Kar fra Guds Hus, store og smaa, og Herrens Hus's Skatte og Kongens og hans Fyrsters Skatte førte han alt sammen til Babel.
And all the vessels of the house of the Lord, great and small, and the treasures of the temple and of the king, and of the princes he carried away to Babylon.
19 Og de opbrændte Guds Hus og nedbrøde Jerusalems Mure, og de opbrændte alle dens Paladser med Ild, og alle dens kostelige Kar bleve ødelagte.
And the enemies set fire to the house of God, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem, burnt all the towers, and whatsoever was precious they destroyed.
20 Og han bortførte til Babel dem, som vare overblevne fra Sværdet, og de bleve hans og hans Sønners Tjenere, indtil Persiens Rige fik Magten;
Whosoever escaped the sword, was led into Babylon, and there served the king and his sons till the reign of the king of Persia.
21 at Herrens Ord skulde opfyldes, som var talt ved Jeremias's Mund, indtil Landet havde faaet nok af sine Sabbater; det hvilede den ganske Tid, som Ødelæggelsen varede, indtil halvfjerdsindstyve Aar bleve fyldte.
That the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremias might be fulfilled, and the land might keep her sabbaths: for all the days of the desolation she kept a sabbath, till the seventy years were expired.
22 Men i Kyrus's, Kongen af Persiens, første Aar, da Herrens Ord, som var talt ved Jeremias's Mund, var fuldkommet, opvakte Herren Kyrus's, Kongen af Persiens, Aand, at han lod udraabe over sit ganske Rige, ja kundgøre ved Skrift, og sige:
But in the first year of Cyrus king of the Persians, to fulfill the word of the Lord, which he had spoken by the mouth of Jeremias, the Lord stirred up the heart of Cyrus king of the Persians who commanded it to be proclaimed through all his kingdom, and by writing also, saying:
23 Saa siger Kyrus, Kongen i Persien: Herren, Himmelens Gud, har givet mig alle Riger paa Jorden, og han har befalet mig at bygge sig et Hus i Jerusalem, som er i Juda. Hvo der maatte være iblandt eder af alle hans Folk, med ham være Herren hans Gud, og han drage op!
Thus saith Cyrus king of the Persians: All the kingdoms of the earth hath the Lord the God of heaven given to me, and he hath charged me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judea: who is there among you of all his people? The Lord his God be with him, and let him go up.
