Jeremias 52
1 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.
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 Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENS Øjne, ganske som Jojakim.
And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the Lord, according to all that Joakim had done.
3 Thi for HERRENS Vredes Skyld kom dette over Jerusalem og Juda, og til sidst stødte han dem bort fra sit Aasyn. Og Zedekias faldt fra Babels Konge.
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 I hans niende Regeringsaar paa den tiende Dag i den tiende Maaned drog Kong Nebukadrezar af Babel da med hele sin Hær mod Jerusalem, og de belejrede det og byggede Belejringstaarne imod det rundt 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 og Belejringen varede til Kong Zedekias's ellevte Regeringsaar.
And the city was besieged until the eleventh year of king Sedecias.
6 Paa den niende Dag i den fjerde Maaned blev Hungersnøden haard i Byen, og Folket fra Landet havde ikke Brød. Da blev Byens Mur gennembrudt.
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 Alle Krigsfolkene flygtede om Natten ud af Byen gennem Porten mellem de to Mure ved Kongens Have, medens Kaldæerne holdt Byen omringet, og de tog Vejen ad Arabalavningen til.
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 satte efter Kongen og indhentede ham paa Jerikosletten, efter at hele hans Hær var blevet splittet til alle Sider.
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 Saa greb de Kongen og bragte ham op til Ribla i Hamats Land til Babels Konge, der fældede Dommen 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 Hans Sønner lod han henrette i hans Paasyn, ligeledes lod han alle Judas Øverster henrette 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 paa Zedekias selv lod Babels Konge Øjnene stikke ud; derpaa lod han ham lægge i Kobberlænker, og saaledes førte han ham til Babel; og han lod ham kaste i Fængsel, hvor han blev til sin Dødedag.
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 Paa den tiende Dag i den femte Maaned, det var Babels Konge Nebukadrezars nittende Regeringsaar, kom Nebuzar'adan, Øversten for Livvagten, Babels Konges Tjener, 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 Han satte Ild paa HERRENS Hus og Kongens Palads og alle Husene i Jerusalem; paa alle Stormændenes Huse satte han Ild;
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 Murene om Jerusalem nedbrød hele Kaldæernes Hær, som Øversten for Livvagten havde med sig.
And all the army of the Chaldeans that were with the general broke down all the wall of Jerusalem round about.
15 De sidste Folk, som var tilbage i Byen, og Overløberne, der var gaaet over til Babels Konge, og de sidste Haandværkere førte Nebuzar'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 Men nogle af de fattigste af Folket fra Landet lod Nebuzar'adan, Øversten for Livvagten, blive tilbage som Vingaardsmænd og Agerdyrkere,
But of the poor of the land, Nabuzardan the general left some for vinedressers, and for husbandmen.
17 Kobbersøjlerne i HERRENS Hus, Stellene og Kobberhavet i HERRENS Hus slog Kaldæerne i Stykker og førte Kobberet 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 Karrene, Skovlene, Knivene og Kanderne og alle Kobbersagerne, som brugtes ved Tjenesten, røvede de;
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 ogsaa Fadene, Panderne, Skaalene, Karrene, Lysestagerne, Kanderne og Offerskaalene, der helt var af Guld eller Sølv, røvede Øversten 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 Søjler, Havet med de tolv Kobberokser under og Stellene, som Salomo havde ladet lave til HERRENS Hus — Kobberet i alle disse Ting var ikke til at veje.
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 Atten Alen høj var hver Søjle, og en Snor paa tolv Alen kunde naa om den, og den var hul, og Kobberet var fire Fingre tykt.
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 der var et Søjlehoved af Kobber oven paa den, fem Alen højt, og rundt om Søjlehovedet var der Fletværk og Granatæbler, alt af Kobber; og paa samme Maade var det med den anden Søjle.
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, som hang frit; der var i alt hundrede Granatæbler rundt om Fletværket.
And there were ninety-six pomegranates hanging down: and the pomegranates being a hundred in all, were compassed with network.
24 Øversten for Livvagten tog Ypperstepræsten Seraja, Andenpræsten Zefanja og de tre Dørvogtere;
And the general took Saraias the chief priest, and Sophonias the second priest, and the three keepers of the entry.
25 og fra Byen tog han en Hofmand, der havde Opsyn med Krigsfolket, og syv Mænd, der hørte til Kongens nærmeste Omgivelser, og som endnu fandtes i Byen, desuden Hærførerens Skriver, der udskrev Folket fra Landet til Krigstjeneste, og dertil tresindstyve Mænd af Folket fra Landet, der fandtes i Byen —
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 dem tog Øversten for Livvagten Nebuzar'adan og førte til Babels Konge i Ribla;
And Nabuzardan the general took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon, to Reblatha.
27 og Babels Konge lod dem dræbe i Ribla i Hamats Land. Saa førtes Juda i Landflygtighed 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 Følgende er Tallet paa de Folk, Nebukadrezar bortførte i Fangenskab: I hans syvende Aar 3023 Judæere,
This is the people whom Nabuchodonosor carried away captive: in the seventh year, three thousand and twenty-three Jews.
29 i Nebukadrezars attende Aar 832 fra Jerusalem;
In the eighteenth year of Nabuchodonosor, eight hundred and thirty-two souls from Jerusalem.
30 i Nebukadrezars tre og tyvende Aar bortførte Nebuzar'adan, Øversten for Livvagten, 745 af Judæerne; tilsammen 4600.
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 I det syv og tredivte Aar efter Kong Jojakin af Judas Bortførelse paa den fem og tyvende Dag i den tolvte Maaned tog Babels Konge Evil-Merodak, der i det Aar kom paa Tronen, Kong Jojakin af Juda til Naade og førte ham ud af Fængselet.
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 Han talte ham venligt til og gav ham Sæde oven for de Konger, som var 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 Jojakin aflagde sin Fangedragt og spiste daglig hos ham, saa længe han levede.
And he changed his prison garments, and he ate bread before him always all the days of his life.
34 Han fik sit daglige Underhold af Babels Konge, hver Dag hvad han behøvede for den Dag, indtil sin Dødedag, saa længe han levede.
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.
