Anden Kongebog 25
1 Og det skete i hans Regerings niende Aar, i den tiende Maaned, paa den tiende Dag i Maaneden, da kom Nebukadnezar, Kongen af Babel, han og hele hans Hær, imod Jerusalem og lejrede sig imod den, og de byggede et Bolværk imod den trindt omkring.
And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth of the month, [that] Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it; and they built turrets against it round about.
2 Saa blev Staden belejret indtil Kong Zedekias's ellevte Aar.
And the city was besieged until the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
3 Paa den niende Dag i Maaneden, da fik Hungeren Overhaand i Staden, og der var ikke Brød for Folket i Landet.
On the ninth of the [fourth] month the famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land.
4 Og man brød ind i Staden, og alle Krigsmænd flyede om Natten ad Vejen gennem Porten imellem de to Mure, hvilken gaar til Kongens Have; og Kaldæerne laa trindt omkring Staden, og Kongen drog hen ad Vejen til den slette Mark.
And the city was broken into; and all the men of war [fled] by night, by the way of the gate between the two walls, which [leads] to the king's garden (now the Chaldeans were by the city round about); and they went the way toward the plain.
5 Men Kaldæernes Hær forfulgte Kongen, og de naaede ham paa den slette Mark ved Jeriko, og hele hans Hær blev adspredt fra ham.
And the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.
6 Og de grebe Kongen og førte ham op til Kongen af Babel, til Ribla, og holdt Ret over ham.
And they took the king, and brought him up to the king of Babylon unto Riblah; and they pronounced judgment upon him,
7 Og de nedhuggede Zedekias's Sønner for hans Øjne, og man blindede Zedekias's Øjne, og de bandt ham med to Kobberlænker og førte ham til Babel.
and slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with chains of brass, and carried him to Babylon.
8 Og i den femte Maaned paa den syvende Dag i Maaneden (det Aar var Kong Nebukadnezars, Babels Konges, nittende Aar) kom Nebusar-Adan, Øversten for Livvagten, Kongen af Babels Tjener, til Jerusalem.
And in the fifth month, on the seventh of the month, which was in the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, Nebuzar-adan, captain of the body-guard, servant of the king of Babylon, came unto Jerusalem;
9 Og han opbrændte Herrens Hus og Kongens Hus; og alle Husene i Jerusalem, ja alle store Huse opbrændte han med Ild.
and he burned the house of Jehovah, and the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem; and every great [man's] house he burned with fire.
10 Og hele Kaldæernes Hær, som var med den øverste for Livvagten, nedbrød Jerusalems Mur trindt omkring.
And all the army of the Chaldeans that were with the captain of the body-guard broke down the walls of Jerusalem round about.
11 Men det øvrige Folk, de overblevne i Staden og de frafaldne, som vare gaaede over til Kongen af Babel, og den øvrige Hob førte Nebusar-Adan, Øversten for Livvagten, bort.
And Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard carried away captive the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the deserters that had deserted to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude.
12 Og Øversten for Livvagten lod nogle af de ringeste i Landet blive tilbage til Vingaardsmænd og til Agermænd.
But the captain of the body-guard left of the poor of the land for vinedressers and husbandmen.
13 Og Kobberstøtterne, som vare i Herrens Hus, og Stolene og Kobberhavet, som var i Herrens Hus, sønderbrøde Kaldæerne, og de førte Kobberet af dem til Babel.
And the brazen pillars that were in the house of Jehovah, and the bases, and the brazen sea that was in the house of Jehovah, the Chaldeans broke in pieces, and carried the brass thereof to Babylon.
14 Og Gryderne og Skufferne og Knivene og Røgelseskaalerne og alle Kobberkarrene, som brugtes til Tjenesten, toge de bort.
The cauldrons also and the shovels and the knives and the cups, and all the vessels of copper wherewith they ministered, they took away.
15 Og Ildkarrene og Skaalerne, hvad som var helt Guld, og som var helt Sølv, tog den øverste for Livvagten.
And the censers and the bowls, that which was of gold in gold, and that which was of silver in silver, the captain of the body-guard took away.
16 De to Støtter og det ene Hav og de Stole, som Salomo havde gjort til Herrens Hus: — Der var ikke Vægt paa Kobberet af alle disse Ting.
The two pillars, the one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made for the house of Jehovah: for the brass of all these vessels there was no weight.
17 Højden af den ene Støtte var atten Alen, og Kronen derpaa var af Kobber, og Kronens Højde var tre Alen; og Nettet og Granatæblerne trindt omkring paa Kronen var alt sammen af Kobber, og paa samme Maade var den anden Støtte med Nettet.
The height of one pillar was eighteen cubits, and the capital upon it was brass, and the height of the capital three cubits; and the network and the pomegranates, upon the capital round about, all of brass: and similarly for the second pillar with the network.
18 Og Øversten for Livvagten tog Ypperstepræsten Seraja og Zefania, Præsten af anden Rang, og tre, som toge Vare paa Dørtærskelen;
And the captain of the body-guard took Seraiah the high priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three doorkeepers.
19 og af Staden tog han een Hofbetjent, som var Befalingsmand over Krigsmændene, og fem Mænd af dem, som saa Kongens Ansigt og som fandtes i Staden, og Skriveren, som var hos Stridshøvedsmanden, og som udskrev Folket i Landet, og tresindstyve Mænd af Folket i Landet, som fandtes i Staden.
And out of the city he took a chamberlain that was set over the men of war, and five men of them that were in the king's presence, who were found in the city, and the scribe of the captain of the host, who enrolled the people of the land; and sixty men of the people of the land that were found in the city.
20 Og Nebusar-Adan, den øverste for Livvagten, tog dem og førte dem til Kongen af Babel, til Ribla.
And Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard took them and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah;
21 Og Kongen af Babel slog dem ihjel og dræbte dem i Ribla, i Hamaths Land; saa blev Juda bortført fra sit Land.
and the king of Babylon smote them and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. Thus Judah was carried away captive out of his land.
22 Men over Folket, som blev tilbage i Judas Land, som Nebukadnezar, Kongen af Babel, lod blive tilbage, over dem satte han Gedalia, en Søn af Ahikam, Safans Søn.
And [as for] the people that remained in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left behind, over them he appointed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan.
23 Der alle Stridshøvedsmændene, de og deres Mænd, hørte, at Kongen af Babel havde sat Gedalia over dem, da kom de til Gedalia til Mizpa, baade Ismael, Nethanias Søn, og Johanan, Kareaks Søn, og Seraja, Netofatiten Thanhumeths Søn, og Maakatiten Jaasanias Søn, de og deres Mænd.
And all the captains of the forces, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedaliah, and they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, namely, Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of a Maachathite, they and their men.
24 Og Gedalia tilsvor dem og deres Mænd og sagde til dem: Frygter ikke for Kaldæernes Tjenere; bliver i Landet og tjener Kongen af Babel, saa skal det gaa eder vel.
And Gedaliah swore unto them and to their men, and said to them, Fear not to be servants of the Chaldeans: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.
25 Men det skete i den syvende Maaned, at Ismael, en Søn af Nethania, Elisamas Søn, af kongelig Sæd, kom og ti Mænd med ham, og de sloge Gedalia, saa at han døde tillige med Jøderne og Kaldæerne, som vare hos ham i Mizpa.
And it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the royal seed, came, and ten men with him, and smote Gedaliah, that he died, and the Jews and the Chaldeans that were with him at Mizpah.
26 Da gjorde alt Folket sig rede, baade smaa og store, tillige med Hærenes Øverster og drog til Ægypten; thi de frygtede for Kaldæerne.
And all the people, both small and great, and the captains of the forces, arose and came to Egypt; for they were afraid of the Chaldeans.
27 Og det skete i det syv og tredivte Aar, efter at Jojakin, Kongen af Juda, var bortført, i den tolvte Maaned, paa den syv og tyvende Dag i Maaneden, da opløftede Evilmerodak, Kongen af Babel, i det Aar han blev Konge, Jojakins, Judas Konges Hoved fra Fængselets Hus.
And it came to pass in the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh of the month, [that] Evil-Merodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison;
28 Og han talede gode Ord med ham, og han satte hans Stol over de Kongers Stole, som vare hos ham i Babel.
and he spoke kindly to him, and set his seat above the seat of the kings that were with him in Babylon.
29 Og han omskiftede sine Fængselsklæder, og han aad stedse Brød for hans Ansigt i alle sine Livsdage.
And he changed his prison garments; and he ate bread before him continually all the days of his life;
30 Og angaaende hans Underholdning, da gaves ham stadig Underholdning af Kongen, hver Dag hvad han behøvede for den Dag, alle hans Livsdage.
and his allowance was a continual allowance given him by the king, every day a portion, all the days of his life.
