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 twenty-one years old when he became king; he was king for 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 evil in the eyes of the Lord, as 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.

And because of the wrath of the Lord this came about in Jerusalem and Judah, till he had sent them away from before him: and Zedekiah took up arms 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 in the ninth year of his rule, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, came against Jerusalem with all his army and took up his position before it, building earthworks all round it.

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

So the town was shut in by their forces till 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, on the ninth day of the month, the store of food in the town was almost gone, so that there was no food 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 an opening was made in the wall of the town, and all the men of war went in flight out of the town by night through the doorway between the two walls which was by the king's garden; (now the Chaldaeans were stationed round the town: ) and they went by the way of 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.

And the Chaldaean army went after King Zedekiah and overtook him on the other side of Jericho, and all his army went in flight from him in every direction.

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 made the king a prisoner and took him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath to be judged.

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 put the sons of Zedekiah to death before his eyes: and he put to death all the rulers 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 Zedekiah's eyes; and the king of Babylon, chaining him in iron bands, took 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, on the tenth day of the month, in the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, a servant of the king of Babylon, came 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 had the house of the Lord and the king's house and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, burned with fire:

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

And the walls round Jerusalem were broken down by the Chaldaean army which was with the captain.

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 armed men, took away as prisoners the rest of the people who were still in the town, and those who had given themselves up to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the workmen.

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 armed men, let the poorest of the land go on living there, to take care of the vines and the fields.

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 brass pillars which were in the house of the Lord, and the wheeled bases and the great brass water-vessel in the house of the Lord, were broken up by the Chaldaeans, who took all the brass away to Babylon.

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

And the pots and the spades and the scissors for the lights and the spoons, and all the brass vessels used in the Lord's house, they took 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 fire-trays and the basins and the pots and the supports for the lights and the spoons and the wide basins; the gold of the gold vessels, and the silver of the silver vessels, the captain of the armed men 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 great water-vessel, and the twelve brass oxen which were under it, and the ten wheeled bases, which King Solomon had made for the house of the Lord: 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, one pillar was eighteen cubits high, and twelve cubits measured all round, and it was as thick as a man's hand: 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 there was a crown of brass on it: the crown was five cubits high, circled with a network and apples all of brass; and the second pillar had the same.

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

There were ninety-six apples on the outside; the number of apples all round the network was a hundred.

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 armed men took Seraiah, the chief priest, and Zephaniah, the second priest, and the three door-keepers;

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 from the town he took the unsexed servant who was over the men of war, and seven of the king's near friends who were in the town, and the scribe of the captain of the army, who was responsible for getting the people of the land together in military order, and sixty men of the people of the land who were in the town.

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

These Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, took with him to the king of Babylon at 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 put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was taken prisoner away from his land.

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

These are the people whom Nebuchadrezzar took away prisoner: in the seventh year, three thousand and twenty-three Jews:

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

And in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar he took away as prisoners from Jerusalem eight hundred and thirty-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 twenty-third year of Nebuchadrezzar, Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, took away as prisoners seven hundred and forty-five of the Jews: 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 in the thirty-seventh year after Jehoiachin, king of Judah, had been taken prisoner, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-fifth day of the month, Evil-merodach, king of Babylon, in the first year after he became king, took Jehoiachin, king of Judah, 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 said kind words to him and put his seat higher than the seats of the other kings who 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 his prison clothing was changed, and he was a guest at the king's table every day for the rest 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 food, the king gave him a regular amount every day till the day of his death, for the rest of his life.
