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 Jehoahaz son of Josiah, and made him king in his father's place in Jerusalem.
2 Joakas var tre og tyve Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede tre Maaneder i Jerusalem;
Jehoahaz was twenty-three 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.
The king of Egypt removed him at Jerusalem, and fined the land one hundred talents of silver and one 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.
The king of Egypt made Eliakim, who was the brother of Jehoahaz, king over Judah and Jerusalem (and changed Eliakim's name to Jehoiakim). Then Necho took Eliakim's brother Jehoahaz and brought him to 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.
Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh his God.
6 Nebukadnezar, Kongen af Babel, drog op imod ham og bandt ham med to Kobberlænker for at føre ham til Babel.
Then Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, attacked him and bound him in chains to lead him away to Babylon.
7 Og Nebukadnezar førte nogle af Herrens Hus's Kar til Babel og lagde dem i sit Tempel i Babel.
Nebuchadnezzar also carried some of the objects in the house of Yahweh to Babylon, and put them in his palace at Babylon.
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.
As for the other matters concerning Jehoiakim, the disgusting things that he did, and what was found against him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel. Then Jehoiachin, his son, became king in his place.
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.
Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign; he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem. He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh.
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.
In the spring, King Nebuchadnezzar sent men and brought him to Babylon, with the valuable things from the house of Yahweh, and made Zedekiah, his relative, king over Judah and Jerusalem.
11 Zedekias var et og tyve Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede elleve Aar i Jerusalem.
Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign; 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.
He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh his God. He did not humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet, who spoke from the mouth of Yahweh.
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.
Zedekiah also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear loyalty to him by God. But Zedekiah stiffened his neck and hardened his heart against turning to Yahweh, 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 leaders of the priests and the people were extremely unfaithful, and they followed the disgusting practices of the nations. They polluted the house of Yahweh which he had consecrated 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.
Yahweh, the God of their ancestors, sent word to them by his messengers again and again, because he had compassion on his people and on the place where he lives.
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 God's messengers, despised his words, and scoffed at his prophets, until the wrath of Yahweh arose against his people, until there was no help for it.
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.
So God brought on them the king of the Chaldeans, who killed their young men with the sword in the sanctuary, and had no compassion on young men or virgins, old men or the gray-haired. God gave them all into his hand.
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.
All the furnishings of the house of God, great and small, the treasures of the house of Yahweh, and the treasures of the king and his officials—all these he took 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.
They burned down the house of God, broke down the wall of Jerusalem, burned all its palaces, and destroyed all the beautiful things in it.
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;
The king carried away to Babylon those who had escaped the sword. They became servants for him and his sons until the rule of the kingdom 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.
This happened to fulfill the word of Yahweh by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land should have enjoyed its Sabbath rests. It observed its Sabbath for as long as it lay abandoned, in order to pass seventy years in this way.
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:
Now in the first year of Cyrus, king of Persia, so that the word of Yahweh by the mouth of Jeremiah might be carried out, Yahweh motivated the spirit of Cyrus, king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing. He said,
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!
“This is what Cyrus, king of Persia, says: Yahweh, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth. He has commanded me to build a house for him in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever is among you from all his people, may Yahweh your God, be with you. Let him go up to the land.”
