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 Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant three years. Then he turned and rebelled against 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.
The LORD sent against him bands of the Kasdim, bands of the Syrians, bands of the Moabites, and bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the LORD’s word 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;
Surely at the commandment of the LORD this came on Judah, to remove them out of his sight for the sins of Manasseh, 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.
and also for the innocent blood that he shed; for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and the LORD would not pardon.
5 Men det øvrige af Jojakims Handeler og alt, hvad han gjorde, ere de Ting ikke skrevne i Judas Kongers Krønikers Bog?
Now 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?
6 Og Jojakim laa med sine Fædre, og hans Søn Jojakin blev Konge i hans Sted.
So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers, and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place.
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.
The king of Egypt didn’t come out of his land any more; for the king of Babylon had taken, from the brook of Egypt to the river Euphrates, all that belonged to the king of Egypt.
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.
Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. His mother’s name was Nehushta the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.
9 Og han gjorde det, som var ondt for Herrens Øjne, efter alt det, som hans Fader havde gjort.
He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, according to all that his father had done.
10 Paa den Tid droge Nebukadnezars, Babels Konges, Tjenere op til Jerusalem, og Staden blev belejret.
At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up to Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.
11 Og Nebukadnezar, Kongen af Babel, kom til Staden, og hans Tjenere belejrede den.
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to the city while his servants were besieging 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 Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon—he, his mother, his servants, his princes, and his officers; and the king of Babylon captured 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.
He carried out from there all the treasures of the LORD’s house 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 the LORD’s temple, as the LORD had said.
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.
He 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. No one remained except the poorest people of the land.
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;
He carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, with the king’s mother, the king’s wives, his officers, and the chief men of the land. He carried them 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.
All the men of might, even seven thousand, and the craftsmen and the smiths one thousand, all of them strong and fit for war, even them the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon.
17 Og Kongen af Babel gjorde Mathania, hans Farbroder, til Konge i hans Sted, og han omvendte hans Navn til Zedekias.
The king of Babylon made Mattaniah, Jehoiachin’s father’s brother, king in his place, and changed his name to Zedekiah.
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.
Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
19 Og han gjorde det, som var ondt for Herrens Øjne, efter alt det, som Jojakim havde gjort.
He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
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 through the anger of the LORD, this happened in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence. Then Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
