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, came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, —and Jehoiakim became his servant three years, then turned he 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.
And Yahweh sent against him troops of Chaldeans, and troops of Syrians, and troops of Moabites, and troops of the sons of Ammon, yea he sent them against Judah, to destroy him, —according to the word of Yahweh, which he spake through 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, it was, because of the anger of Yahweh, that this came upon Judah, to remove them from his presence, —for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he had done:
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 also, for the innocent blood that he had shed, so that he had filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, —which Yahweh was not willing to 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 story of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, are they not 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 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 again out of his land, —for the king of Babylon had taken—from the ravine of Egypt, unto the river Euphrates, all that had belonged 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.
Eighteen years old, was Jehoiachin when he began to reign, and, three months, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, his mother’s name, was Nehushta daughter of Elnathan, of Jerusalem.
9 Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENS Øjne, ganske som hans Fader.
And he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —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, came up the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem, —and the city came into the siege.
11 Kong Nebukadnezar af Babel kom til Jerusalem, medens hans Folk belejrede det.
And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came against the city, and his servants were about to besiege 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.
Then came out Jehoiachin king of Judah, unto the king of Babylon, he and his mother, and his servants, and his generals, and his courtiers, —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 carried forth from thence, all the treasures of the house of Yahweh, and the treasures of the house of the king, —and he cut off all the fittings of gold, which Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of Yahweh, according to all that, Yahweh, had spoken.
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 all Jerusalem, and all the generals, and all the mighty men of valour, ten thousand becoming captives, and all the artificers and the smiths, —none remained save the poorest 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;
And he carried away captive Jehoiachin, to Babylon, —and, the king’s mother, and the king’s wives, and his courtiers, and the nobles of the land, took he away captive, 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—seven thousand, and artificers and smiths—a thousand, all who were valiant and ready to make war, the king of Babylon brought 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 Mattaniah, his relative, king in his stead, —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.
Twenty-one years old, was Zedekiah when he began to reign, and, eleven years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, his mother’s name, was Hamutal, daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
19 Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENS Øjne, ganske som Jojakim.
And he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —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, it was because the anger of Yahweh had come against Jerusalem, and against Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence, that Zedekiah rebelled, against the king of Babylon.
