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.

Sedecias was one and twenty years old when he began to reign: and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and the name of his mother was Amital, the daughter of Jeremias of Lobna.

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 eyes of the Lord, according to all that Joakim 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 the wrath of the Lord was against Jerusalem, and against Juda, till he cast them out from his presence: and Sedecias revolted from 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, the tenth day of the month, that Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and they besieged it, and built forts against it round about.

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

And the city was besieged until the eleventh year of king Sedecias.

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.

And in the fourth month, the ninth day of the month, a famine overpowered the city: and 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.

And the city was broken up, and the men of war fled, and went out of the city in the night by the way of the gate that is between the two walls, and leadeth to the king’s garden, (the Chaldeans besieging the city round about, ) sad they went by the way that leadeth to the wilderness.

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 they overtook Sedecias in the desert which is near Jericho: and all his companions were 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.

And when they had taken the king, they carried him to the king of Babylon to Reblatha, which is in the land of Emath: 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 Sedecias before his eyes: and he slew all the princes of Juda in Reblatha.

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 Sedecias, and bound him with fetters, and the king of Babylon brought him into Babylon, and he 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.

And in the fifth month, the tenth day of the month, the same is the nineteenth year of Nabuchodonosor, king of Babylon, came Nabuzardan the general of the army, who stood before the king of Babylon in 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 burnt the house of the Lord, and the king’s house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great house he burnt 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 general broke down all the wall 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.

But Nabuzardan the general carried away captives some of the poor people, and of the rest of the common sort who remained in the city, and of the fugitives that were fled over to the king of Babylon, and the rest 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 of the poor of the land, Nabuzardan the general left some for vinedressers, and for 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.

The Chaldeans also broke in pieces the brazen pillars that were in the house of the Lord, and the bases, and the sea of brass that was in the house of the Lord: and they 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,

And they took the caldrons, and the fleshhooks, and the psalteries, and the bowls, and the little mortars, and all the brazen vessels that had been used in the ministry: and

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.

The general took away the pitchers, and the censers, and the pots, and the basins, and the candlesticks, and the mortars, and the cups: as many as were of gold, in gold: and as many as were of silver, in silver:

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.

And the two pillars, and one sea, and twelve oxen of brass that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made in the house of the Lord: there was no weight of the brass of all these vessels.

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 concerning the pillars, one pillar was eighteen cubits high: and a cord of twelve cubits compassed it about: but the thickness thereof was four fingers, and it was hollow within.

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 chapiters of brass were upon both: and the height of one chapiter was five cubits: and network, and pomegranates were upon the chapiters round about, all of brass. The same of the second pillar, and the pomegranates.

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

And there were ninety-six pomegranates hanging down: and the pomegranates being a hundred in all, were compassed with network.

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

And the general took Saraias the chief priest, and Sophonias the second priest, and the three keepers of the entry.

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.

He also took out of the city one eunuch that was chief over the men of war: and seven men of them that were near the king’s person, that were found in the city: and a scribe, an officer of the army who exercised the young soldiers: 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 Nabuzardan the general took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon, to Reblatha.

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 struck them, and put them to death in Reblatha, in the land of Emath: and Juda 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 Nabuchodonosor carried away captive: in the seventh year, three thousand and twenty-three Jews.

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

In the eighteenth year of Nabuchodonosor, eight hundred and thirty-two souls from Jerusalem.

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 Nabuchodonosor, Nabuzardan the general carried away of the Jews seven hundred and forty-five souls. So all the souls were four thousand 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 Joachin king of Juda, in the twelfth month, the five and twentieth day of the month, that Evilmerodach king of Babylon, in the first year of his reign, lifted up the head of Joachin king of Juda, 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 spoke kindly to him, and he set his throne above the thrones 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 he changed his prison garments, and he ate bread before him always 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 diet a continual provision was allowed him by the king of Babylon, every day a portion, until the day of his death, all the days of his life.
