Jeremias 52

1 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 one and twenty years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

2 Og han havde gjort det, som var ondt for Herrens Øjne, efter alt det, som Jojakim gjorde.

And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.

3 Men det gik efter Herrens Vrede i Jerusalem og Juda, indtil han forkastede dem for sit Ansigt; og Zedekias faldt fra Kongen af Babel.

For through the anger of Jehovah did it come to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence. And Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

4 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 al 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, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it; and they built forts against it round about.

5 Saa blev. Staden belejret indtil Kong Zedekias's ellevte Aar.

So the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.

6 I den fjerde Maaned, paa den niende Dag i Maaneden, da fik Hungeren Overhaand i Staden, og der var ikke Brød for Folket i Landet.

In the fourth month, in the ninth day of the month, the famine was sore in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.

7 Og man brød ind i Staden, og alle Krigsmænd flyede og droge ud af Staden om Natten, ad Vejen igennem Porten imellem de to Mure, hvilken gaar til Kongens Have, medens Kaldæerne laa trindt omkring Staden; og de droge hen ad Vejen til den slette Mark.

Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war fled, and went forth out of the city by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king’s garden (now the Chaldeans were against the city round about); and they went toward the Arabah.

8 Men Kaldæernes Hær forfulgte Kongen, og de naaede Zedekias paa den slette Mark ved Jeriko; og hele hans Hær blev adspredt fra ham.

But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.

9 Og de grebe Kongen og førte ham op til Kongen af Babel, til Ribla i Hamaths Land; og han holdt Ret over ham.

Then they took the king, and carried him up unto the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he gave judgment upon him.

10 Og Kongen af Babel lod Zedekias's Sønner nedhugge for hans Øjne; og han lod ogsaa alle Judas Fyrster nedhugge i Ribla.

And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes: he slew also all the princes of Judah in Riblah.

11 Og man blindede Zedekias's Øjne og bandt ham med to Kobberlænker, og Kongen af Babel lod ham føre til Babel og satte ham i Straffehuset indtil hans Dødsdag.

And he put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him in fetters, and carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison till the day of his death.

12 Og i den femte Maaned, paa den tiende Dag i Maaneden (det Aar var Kong Nebukadnezars, Kongen af Babels, nittende Aar), kom Nebusar-Adan, Øversten for Livvagten, som stod for Kongen af Babels Ansigt, til Jerusalem.

Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, who stood before the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem.

13 Og han opbrændte Herrens Hus og Kongens Hus og alle Husene i Jerusalem, ja, alle store Huse opbrændte han med Ud.

And he burned the house of Jehovah, and the king’s house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, burned he with fire.

14 Og hele Kaldæernes Hær, som var med Øversten for Livvagten, nedbrød alle Jerusalems Mure trindt omkring.

And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were with the captain of the guard, brake down all the walls of Jerusalem round about.

15 Og nogle af de ringeste af Folket og det øvrige Folk, de overblevne i Staden og de frafaldne, som vare gaaede over til Kongen af Babel, og de Haandværksmænd, som vare blevne tilbage, førte Nebusar-Adan, Øversten for Livvagten, bort.

Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the poorest of the people, and the residue of the people that were left in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to the king of Babylon, and the residue of the multitude.

16 Og Nebusar-Adan, Øversten for Livvagten, lod nogle af de ringeste i Landet blive tilbage til Vingaardsmænd og til Agerdyrkere.

But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poorest of the land to be vinedressers and husbandmen.

17 Og Kobberstøtterne, som vare i Herrens Hus, og Stolene og Kobberhavet, som var i Herrens Hus, sønderbrøde Kaldæerne; og de førte alt Kobberet af dem til Babel.

And the pillars of brass that were in the house of Jehovah, and the bases and the brazen sea that were in the house of Jehovah, did the Chaldeans break in pieces, and carried all the brass of them to Babylon.

18 Og Gryderne og Skufferne og Knivene og Skaalerne og Røgelseskaalerne og alle Kobberkarrene, som brugtes til Tjenesten, toge de bort,

The pots also, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they away.

19 og Bækkenerne og Ildkarrene og Skaalerne og Gryderne og Lysestagerne og Røgelseskaalerne og Bægerne, hvad som var helt Guld, og hvad som var helt Sølv, tog den øverste for Livvagten.

And the cups, and the firepans, and the basins, and the pots, and the candlesticks, and the spoons, and the bowls—that which was of gold, in gold, and that which was of silver, in silver, —the captain of the guard took away.

20 De to Støtter, det ene Hav og de tolv Kobberøksne, som vare derunder, samt Stolene, som Kong Salomo havde gjort til Herrens Hus: Der var ikke Vægt paa Kobberet af alle disse Ting.

The two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve brazen bulls that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made for the house of Jehovah—the brass of all these vessels was without weight.

21 Og hvad Støtterne angaar, da var Højden af een Støtte atten Alen, og en Traad, tolv Alen lang, gik omkring den, og denne var fire Fingre tyk og hul.

And as for the pillars, the height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits; and a line of twelve cubits did compass it; and the thickness thereof was four fingers: it was hollow.

22 Og Kronen derpaa var af Kobber, og een Krones Højde var fem Alen, og Nettet og Granatæblerne trindt omkring paa Kronen var alt sammen af Kobber, og paa samme Maade var den anden Støtte og Granatæblerne.

And a capital of brass was upon it; and the height of the one capital was five cubits, with network and pomegranates upon the capital round about, all of brass: and the second pillar also had like unto these, and pomegranates.

23 Og der var seks og halvfemsindstyve Granatæbler efter Vindene; alle Granatæblerne paa Nettet trindt omkring vare hundrede.

And there were ninety and six pomegranates on the sides; all the pomegranates were a hundred upon the network round about.

24 Og Øversten for Livvagten tog Ypperstepræsten Seraja, og Zefanja, Præsten af anden Rang, og tre, som toge Vare paa Dørtærskelen.

And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold:

25 Og af Staden tog han een Hofbetjent, som var Befalingsmand over Krigsmændene, og syv 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 an officer that was set over the men of war; and seven men of them that saw the king’s face, that were found in the city; and the scribe of the captain of the host, who mustered the people of the land; and threescore men of the people of the land, that were found in the midst of the city.

26 Og Nebusar-Adan, den øverste for Livvagten, tog dem og førte dem til Kongen af Babel, til Ribla.

And Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.

27 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. So Judah was carried away captive out of his land.

28 Dette er det Folk, som Nebukadnezar bortførte: I det syvende Aar tre Tusinde og tre og tyve af Juda;

This is the people whom Nebuchadrezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year three thousand Jews and three and twenty;

29 i Nebukadnezars attende Aar: Af Jerusalem otte Hundrede og to og tredive Sjæle;

in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty and two persons;

30 i Nebukadnezars tre og tyvende Aar bortførte Nebusar-Adan, den øverste for Livvagten, af Jøderne syv Hundrede og fem og fyrretyve Sjæle; alle Sjæle vare tilsammen fire Tusinde og seks Hundrede.

in the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadrezzar Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred forty and five persons: all the persons were four thousand and six hundred.

31 Og det skete i det syv og tredivte Aar, efter at Jojakin, Judas Konge, var bortført, i den tolvte Maaned paa den fem og tyvende Dag i Maaneden, da opløftede Evil-Merodak, Kongen af Babel, i det Aar han blev Konge, Jojakins, Judas Konges, Hoved og førte ham ud af Fængselets Hus.

And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the five and twentieth day of the month, that Evil-merodach king of Babylon, in the [first] year of his reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison;

32 Og han talte gode Ord med ham, og han satte hans Stol over de Kongers Stole, som vare hos ham i Babel.

and he spake kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon,

33 Og han omskiftede sine Fængsels Klæder, og han aad stedse Brød for hans Ansigt i alle sine Livsdage.

and changed his prison garments. And [Jehoiachin] did eat bread before him continually all the days of his life:

34 Og angaaende hans Underholdning, da gaves ham stadig Underholdning af Kongen i Babel, hver Dag, hvad han behøvede for den Dag indtil hans Dødsdag alle hans Livsdage.

and for his allowance, there was a continual allowance given him by the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life.
