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 Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant three years: then he turned and rebelled against 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.
YHWH sent against him bands of the Chaldeans, and bands of the Arameans, and bands of the Moabites, and bands of the people of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of YHWH, 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,
Surely at the commandment of YHWH this came on Judah, to remove them out of his sight, for the sins of Manasseh, 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.
and also for the innocent blood that he shed; for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood: and YHWH would not pardon.
5 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Jojakim, alt, hvad han udførte, staar jo optegnet i Judas Kongers Krønike.
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
6 Saa lagde Jojakim sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre; og hans Søn Jojakin blev Konge i hans Sted.
So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers; and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place.
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.
The king of Egypt did not come again out of his land any more; for the king of Babylon had taken, from the Wadi of Egypt to the river Perath, all that pertained to the king of Egypt.
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.
Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign; and he reigned in Jerusalem three months: and his mother's name was Nehushta the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.
9 Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENS Øjne, ganske som hans Fader.
He did that which was evil in the sight of YHWH, according to all that his father had done.
10 Paa den Tid drog Kong Nebukadnezar af Babels Folk op mod Jerusalem, og Byen blev belejret.
At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up to Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.
11 Kong Nebukadnezar af Babel kom til Jerusalem, medens hans Folk belejrede det.
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to the city, while his servants were besieging 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 Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his officers, and his officers. 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.
He carried out there all the treasures of the house of YHWH, and the treasures of the king's house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold, which Solomon king of Israel had made in YHWH's temple, as YHWH had said.
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.
He carried away all Jerusalem, and all the officials, and all the mighty men of valor, even ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and the smiths; none remained, except the poorest sort of the people of the land.
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;
He carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon; and the king's mother, and the king's wives, and his officers, and the chief men of the land, carried he 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.
All the men of might, even seven thousand, and the craftsmen and the smiths one thousand, all of them strong and apt for war, even them the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon.
17 Men i Jojakins Sted gjorde Babels Konge hans Farbroder Mattanja til Konge, og han ændrede hans Navn til Zedekias.
The king of Babylon made Mattaniah, Jehoiachin's father's brother, king is his place, and changed his name to Zedekiah.
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.
Zedekiah was twenty-one 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.
19 Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENS Øjne, ganske som Jojakim.
He did that which was evil in the sight of YHWH, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
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 through the anger of YHWH, it happened in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence. Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
