Anden Kongebog 24
1 Ihans Dage drog Nebukadnezar, Kongen af Babel, op, og Jojakim blev hans Tjener i tre Aar; derefter vendte han om og faldt fra ham.
In his days went up Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and Joakim became his servant three years; and [then] he turned and revolted from him.
2 Og Herren sendte Kaldæernes Tropper og Syrernes Tropper og Moabiternes Tropper og Ammons Børns Tropper imod ham og sendte dem ind i Juda til at ødelægge det efter Herrens Ord, som han havde talt ved sine Tjenere, Profeterne.
And the lord sent against him the bands of the Chaldeans, and the bands of Syria, and the bans of Moab, and the bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them into the land of Juda to prevail [against it], according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke by his servants the prophets.
3 Visselig skete det i Juda efter Herrens Ord, at han bortkastede dem fra sit Ansigt for Manasses Synders Skyld, efter alt det, som han havde gjort;
Moreover it was the purpose of the Lord concerning Juda, to remove them from his presence, because of the sins of Manasses, according to all that he did.
4 saa og for det uskyldige Blod, som han udøste, da han fyldte Jerusalem med uskyldigt Blod; derfor vilde Herren ikke tilgive.
Moreover he shed innocent blood, and filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and the Lord would not pardon [it].
5 Men det øvrige af Jojakims Handeler og alt, hvad han gjorde, ere de Ting ikke skrevne i Judas Kongers Krønikers Bog?
And the rest of the acts of Joakim, and all that he did, behold, [are] not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?
6 Og Jojakim laa med sine Fædre, og hans Søn Jojakin blev Konge i hans Sted.
And Joakim slept with his fathers: and Joachim his son reigned in his stead.
7 Men Kongen af Ægypten blev ikke ydermere ved at drage ud af sit Land; thi Kongen af Babel havde taget fra Ægyptens Bæk indtil Floden Frat alt det, som var Kongen af Ægyptens.
And the king of Egypt came no more out of his land: for the king of Babylon took away all that belonged to the king of Egypt from the river of Egypt as far as the river Euphrates.
8 Jojakin var atten Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede tre Maaneder i Jerusalem, og hans Moders Navn var Nehustha, Elnathans Datter fra Jerusalem.
Eighteen years old [was] Joachim when he began to reign, an he reigned three months in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Nestha, daughter of Ellanastham, of Jerusalem.
9 Og han gjorde det, som var ondt for Herrens Øjne, efter alt det, som hans Fader havde gjort.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father did.
10 Paa den Tid droge Nebukadnezars, Babels Konges, Tjenere op til Jerusalem, og Staden blev belejret.
At that time went up Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon to Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.
11 Og Nebukadnezar, Kongen af Babel, kom til Staden, og hans Tjenere belejrede den.
And Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came against the city, and his servants besieged it.
12 Men Jojakin, Kongen i Juda, gik ud til Kongen af Babel, han og hans Moder og hans Tjenere og hans Fyrster og hans Hofbetjente, og Kongen af Babel tog ham fangen i sin Regerings ottende Aar.
And Joachim king of Juda came forth to the king of Babylon, he and his servants, and his mother, and his princes, and his eunuchs; and the king of Babylon took him in the eighth year of his reign.
13 Og han udførte derfra alle Skattene i Herrens Hus og Skattene i Kongens Hus og afbrød alt det Guldtøj, som Salomo, Israels Konge, havde ladet gøre i Herrens Tempel, som Herren havde talt.
And he brought forth thence all the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king's house, and he cut up all the golden vessels which Solomon the king of Israel [had] made in the temple of the Lord, according to the word of the Lord.
14 Og han bortførte hele Jerusalem, baade alle Øversterne og alle de vældige til Strid, ti Tusinde fangne, og alle Tømmermændene og Smedene, der blev ikke uden det ringeste Folk i Landet tilbage.
And he carried away [the inhabitants of] Jerusalem, and all the captains, and the mighty men, taking captive ten thousand prisoners, and every artificer and smith: and only the poor of the land were left.
15 Og han bortførte Jojakin til Babel, og Kongens Moder og Kongens Hustruer og hans Hofbetjente og de mægtige i Landet lod han gaa fangne fra Jerusalem til Babel;
And he carried Joachim away to Babylon, and the king's mother, and the king's wives, and his eunuchs: and he carried away the mighty men of the land into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon.
16 og alle stridbare Mænd, syv Tusinde, Tømmermænd og Smede, tusinde, alle vældige, som kunde føre Krig, dem førte Kongen af Babel ogsaa fangne til Babel.
And all the men of might, even seven thousand, and one thousand artificers and smiths: all [were] mighty [men] fit for war; and the king of Babylon carried them captive to Babylon.
17 Og Kongen af Babel gjorde Mathania, hans Farbroder, til Konge i hans Sted, og han omvendte hans Navn til Zedekias.
And the king of Babylon made Batthanias his son king in his stead, and called his name Sedekias.
18 Zedekias var et og tyve Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede elleve Aar i Jerusalem, og hans Moders Navn var Hamutal, Jeremias's Datter fra Libna.
Twenty and one years old [was] Sedekias when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Amital daughter of Jeremias.
19 Og han gjorde det, som var ondt for Herrens Øjne, efter alt det, som Jojakim havde gjort.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that Joachim did.
20 Men det gik efter Herrens Vrede i Jerusalem og Juda, indtil han forkastede dem fra sit Ansigt; og Zedekias faldt fra Kongen af Babel.
For it was according to the Lord's anger against Jerusalem and on Juda, until he cast them out of his presence, that Sedekias revolted against the king of Babylon.
