Anden Krønikebog 36
1 Folket fra Landet tog nu Josias's Søn Joahaz og hyldede ham til Konge i Jerusalem i hans Faders Sted.
Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz, the son of Josiah, and made him king in Jerusalem in place of his father.
2 Joahaz var tre og tyve Aar gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede tre Maaneder i Jerusalem.
Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he became king; he was ruling in Jerusalem for three months.
3 Men Ægypterkongen afsatte ham fra Regeringen i Jerusalem og lagde en Skat af hundrede Talenter Sølv og ti Talenter Guld paa Landet.
Then the king of Egypt took the kingdom from him in Jerusalem, and put on the land a tax of a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
4 Derpaa gjorde Ægypterkongen hans Broder Eljakim til Konge over Juda og Jerusalem, og han ændrede hans Navn til Jojakim; hans Broder Joahaz derimod tog Neko med til Ægypten.
And the king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, changing his name to Jehoiakim. And Neco took his brother Jehoahaz away to Egypt.
5 Jojakim var fem og tyve Aar gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede elleve Aar i Jerusalem. Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERREN hans Guds Øjne.
Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became king; he was ruling in Jerusalem for eleven years, and he did evil in the eyes of the Lord his God.
6 Kong Nebukadnezar af Babel drog op imod ham og lagde ham i Kobberlænker for at føre ham til Babel;
Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came up against him, and took him away in chains to Babylon.
7 og Nebukadnezar lod en Del af HERRENS Hus's Kar bringe til Babel og opstillede dem i sin Borg i Babel.
And Nebuchadnezzar took away some of the vessels of the Lord's house, and put them in the house of his god in Babylon.
8 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Jojakim og de Vederstyggeligheder, han øvede, hvad der er at sige om ham, staar optegnet i Bogen om Israels og Judas Konger. Og hans Søn Jojakin blev Konge i hans Sted.
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim and the disgusting things he did, and all there is to be said against him, are recorded in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah; and Jehoiachin his son became king in his place.
9 Jojakin var atten Aar gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede tre Maaneder og ti Dage i Jerusalem. Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENS Øjne.
Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he became king; he was ruling in Jerusalem for three months and ten days, and he did evil in the eyes of the Lord.
10 Næste Aar sendte Kong Nebukadnezar Folk og lod ham bringe til Babel tillige med HERRENS Hus's kostelige Kar; og han gjorde hans Broder Zedekias til Konge over Juda og Jerusalem.
In the spring of the year King Nebuchadnezzar sent and took him away to Babylon, with the beautiful vessels of the house of the Lord, and made Zedekiah, his father's brother, king over Judah and Jerusalem.
11 Zedekias var een og tyve Aar gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede i elleve Aar i Jerusalem.
Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king; he was ruling in Jerusalem for eleven years.
12 Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERREN hans Guds Øjne. Han ydmygede sig ikke under de Ord, Profeten Jeremias talte fra HERRENS Mund.
He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, and did not make himself low before Jeremiah the prophet who gave him the word of the Lord.
13 Desuden faldt han fra Kong Nebukadnezar, der havde taget ham i Ed ved Gud; og han var halsstarrig og forhærdede sit Hjerte, saa han ikke omvendte sig til HERREN, Israels Gud.
And he took up arms against King Nebuchadnezzar, though he had made him take an oath by God; but he made his neck stiff and his heart hard, turning away from the Lord, the God of Israel.
14 Ligeledes gjorde alle Judas Øverster og Præsterne og Folket sig skyldige i megen Troløshed ved at efterligne alle Hedningefolkenes Vederstyggeligheder, og de besmittede HERRENS Hus, som han havde helliget i Jerusalem.
And more than this, all the great men of Judah and the priests and the people made their sin great, turning to all the disgusting ways of the nations; and they made unclean the house of the Lord which he had made holy in Jerusalem.
15 HERREN, deres Fædres Gud, sendte tidlig og silde manende Ord til dem ved sine Sendebud, fordi han ynkedes over sit Folk og sin Bolig;
And the Lord, the God of their fathers, sent word to them by his servants, sending early and frequently, because he had pity on his people and on his living-place;
16 men de spottede Guds Sendebud, lod haant om hans Ord og gjorde sig lystige over hans Profeter, indtil HERRENS Vrede mod hans Folk tog til i den Grad, at der ikke mere var Lægedom.
But they put shame on the servants of God, making sport of his words and laughing at his prophets, till the wrath of God was moved against his people, till there was no help.
17 Han førte Kaldæernes Konge imod dem, og han dræbte deres unge Mandskab med Sværdet i deres hellige Tempel og ynkedes ikke over Yngling eller Jomfru, gammel eller Olding — alt overgav han i hans Haand.
So he sent against them the king of the Chaldaeans, who put their young men to death with the sword in the house of their holy place, and had no pity for any, young man or virgin, old man or white-haired: God gave them all into his hands.
18 Alle Karrene i Guds Hus, store og smaa, HERRENS Hus's Skatte og Kongens og hans Øverstes Skatte lod han alt sammen bringe til Babel.
And all the vessels of the house of God, great and small, and the stored wealth of the Lord's house and the wealth of the king and his chiefs, he took away to Babylon.
19 De stak Ild paa Guds Hus, nedrev Jerusalems Mur, opbrændte alle dets Borge og ødelagde alle kostelige Ting deri.
And the house of God was burned and the wall of Jerusalem broken down; all its great houses were burned with fire and all its beautiful vessels given up to destruction.
20 Dem, Sværdet levnede, førte han som Fanger til Babel, hvor de blev Trælle for ham og hans Sønner, indtil Perserriget fik Magten,
And all who had not come to death by the sword he took away prisoners to Babylon; and they became servants to him and to his sons till the kingdom of Persia came to power:
21 for at HERRENS Ord gennem Jeremias's Mund kunde opfyldes, indtil Landet fik sine Sabbater godtgjort; saa længe Ødelæggelsen varede, hvilede det, til der var gaaet halvfjerdsindstyve Aar.
So that the words of the Lord, which he said by the mouth of Jeremiah, might come true, till the land had had pleasure in her Sabbaths; for as long as she was waste the land kept the Sabbath, till seventy years were complete.
22 Men i Perserkongen Kyros's første Regeringsaar vakte HERREN, for at hans Ord gennem Jeremias's Mund kunde opfyldes, Perserkongen Kyros's Aand, saa han lod følgende udraabe i hele sit Rige og desuden kundgøre ved en Skrivelse:
Now in the first year of Cyrus, king of Persia, in order that the words which the Lord had said by the mouth of Jeremiah might come true, the spirit of Cyrus, king of Persia, was moved by the Lord, and he made a public statement and had it given out through all his kingdom and put in writing, saying,
23 »Perserkongen Kyros gør vitterligt: Alle Jordens Riger har HERREN, Himmelens Gud, givet mig; og han har paalagt mig at bygge ham et Hus i Jerusalem i Juda. Hvem iblandt eder, der hører til hans Folk, med ham være HERREN hans Gud, og han drage derop!«
Cyrus, king of Persia, has said, All the kingdoms of the earth have been given to me by the Lord, the God of heaven; and he has made me responsible for building a house for him in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever there is among you of all his people, may the Lord his God be with him and let him go up.
