Anden Kongebog 24
1 I hans Dage drog Kong Nebukadnezar af Babel op, og Jojakim underkastede sig ham; men efter tre Aars Forløb faldt han fra ham igen.
In his days went up Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and Joakim became his servant three years; and [then] he turned and revolted from him.
2 Da sendte HERREN kaldæiske, aramaiske, moabitiske og ammonitiske Strejfskarer imod ham; dem sendte han ind i Juda for at ødelægge det efter det Ord, HERREN havde talet ved sine Tjenere Profeterne.
And the lord sent against him the bands of the Chaldeans, and the bands of Syria, and the bans of Moab, and the bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them into the land of Juda to prevail [against it], according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke by his servants the prophets.
3 Det skyldtes ene og alene HERRENS Vrede, at Juda blev drevet bort fra HERRENS Aasyn; det var for Manasses Synders Skyld, for alt det, han havde gjort,
Moreover it was the purpose of the Lord concerning Juda, to remove them from his presence, because of the sins of Manasses, according to all that he did.
4 ogsaa for det uskyldige Blods Skyld, som han havde udgydt saa meget af, at han havde fyldt Jerusalem dermed; det vilde HERREN ikke tilgive.
Moreover he shed innocent blood, and filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and the Lord would not pardon [it].
5 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Jojakim, alt, hvad han udførte, staar jo optegnet i Judas Kongers Krønike.
And the rest of the acts of Joakim, and all that he did, behold, [are] not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?
6 Saa lagde Jojakim sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre; og hans Søn Jojakin blev Konge i hans Sted.
And Joakim slept with his fathers: and Joachim his son reigned in his stead.
7 Men Ægypterkongen drog ikke mere ud af sit Land, thi Babels Konge havde taget alt, hvad der tilhørte Ægypterkongen fra Ægyptens Bæk til Eufratfloden.
And the king of Egypt came no more out of his land: for the king of Babylon took away all that belonged to the king of Egypt from the river of Egypt as far as the river Euphrates.
8 Jojakin var atten Aar gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede tre Maaneder i Jerusalem. Hans Moder hed Nehusjta og var en Datter af Elnatan fra Jerusalem.
Eighteen years old [was] Joachim when he began to reign, an he reigned three months in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Nestha, daughter of Ellanastham, of Jerusalem.
9 Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENS Øjne, ganske som hans Fader.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father did.
10 Paa den Tid drog Kong Nebukadnezar af Babels Folk op mod Jerusalem, og Byen blev belejret.
At that time went up Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon to Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.
11 Kong Nebukadnezar af Babel kom til Jerusalem, medens hans Folk belejrede det.
And Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came against the city, and his servants besieged it.
12 Da overgav Kong Jojakin af Juda sig med sin Moder, sine Tjenere, Øverster og Hoffolk til Babels Konge, og han tog imod ham; det var i Kongen af Babels ottende Regeringsaar.
And Joachim king of Juda came forth to the king of Babylon, he and his servants, and his mother, and his princes, and his eunuchs; and the king of Babylon took him in the eighth year of his reign.
13 Og som HERREN havde forudsagt, førte han alle Skattene i HERRENS Hus og Kongens Palads bort og brød Guldet af alle de Ting, Kong Salomo af Israel havde ladet lave i HERRENS Helligdom.
And he brought forth thence all the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king's house, and he cut up all the golden vessels which Solomon the king of Israel [had] made in the temple of the Lord, according to the word of the Lord.
14 Og han førte hele Jerusalem, alle Øversterne og de velhavende, 10 000 i Tal, bort som Fanger, ligeledes Grovsmede og Laasesmede, saa der ikke blev andre tilbage end de fattigste af Folket fra Landet.
And he carried away [the inhabitants of] Jerusalem, and all the captains, and the mighty men, taking captive ten thousand prisoners, and every artificer and smith: and only the poor of the land were left.
15 Saa førte han Jojakin som Fange til Babel, ogsaa Kongens Moder og Hustruer, hans Hoffolk og alle de højtstaaende i Landet førte han som Fanger fra Jerusalem til Babel;
And he carried Joachim away to Babylon, and the king's mother, and the king's wives, and his eunuchs: and he carried away the mighty men of the land into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon.
16 fremdeles alle de velhavende, 7000 i Tal, Grovsmedene og Laasesmedene, 1000 i Tal, alle øvede Krigere — dem førte Babels Konge som Fanger til Babel.
And all the men of might, even seven thousand, and one thousand artificers and smiths: all [were] mighty [men] fit for war; and the king of Babylon carried them captive to Babylon.
17 Men i Jojakins Sted gjorde Babels Konge hans Farbroder Mattanja til Konge, og han ændrede hans Navn til Zedekias.
And the king of Babylon made Batthanias his son king in his stead, and called his name Sedekias.
18 Zedekias var een og tyve Aar gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede elleve Aar i Jerusalem. Hans Moder hed Hamital og var en Datter af Jirmeja fra Libna.
Twenty and one years old [was] Sedekias when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Amital daughter of Jeremias.
19 Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENS Øjne, ganske som Jojakim.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that Joachim did.
20 Thi for HERRENS Vredes Skyld timedes dette Jerusalem og Juda, og til sidst stødte han dem bort fra sit Aasyn. Og Zedekias faldt fra Babels Konge.
For it was according to the Lord's anger against Jerusalem and on Juda, until he cast them out of his presence, that Sedekias revolted against the king of Babylon.
