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.
It was the twenty-first year of Sedekias, when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Amitaal, the daughter of Jeremias, of Lobena.
2 Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENS Øjne, ganske som Jojakim.
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.
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 ninth month, on the tenth day of the month, [that] Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came, and all his host, against Jerusalem, and they made a rampart round it, and built a wall round about it with large stones.
5 og Belejringen varede til Kong Zedekias's ellevte Regeringsaar.
So the city was besieged, until the eleventh year of king Sedekias,
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.
on the ninth day of the month, and [then] the famine was severe in the city, and there was no bread 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 all the men of war went out by night by the way of the gate, between the wall and the outworks, which were by the king's garden; and the Chaldeans were by the city round about; and they went by the way [leading] 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 host of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook him in the [country] beyond Jericho; and all his servants were dispersed from [about] him.
9 Saa greb de Kongen og bragte ham op til Ribla i Hamats Land til Babels Konge, der fældede Dommen over ham.
And they took the king, and brought him to the king of Babylon to Deblatha, and he judged him.
10 Hans Sønner lod han henrette i hans Paasyn, ligeledes lod han alle Judas Øverster henrette i Ribla;
And the king of Babylon killed the sons of Sedekias before his eyes; and he killed all the princes of Juda in Deblatha.
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 Sedekias, and bound him in fetters; and the king of Babylon brought him to Babylon, and put him into the grinding-house, until the day when he died.
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, on the tenth day of the month, Nabuzardan the captain of the guard, who waited on the king of Babylon, came to 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 the city, 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 the host of the Chaldeans that was with the captain of the guard pulled 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.
16 Men nogle af de fattigste af Folket fra Landet lod Nebuzar'adan, Øversten for Livvagten, blive tilbage som Vingaardsmænd og Agerdyrkere,
But the captain of the guard left the remnant of the people to be vinedressers and husbandmen.
17 Kobbersøjlerne i HERRENS Hus, Stellene og Kobberhavet i HERRENS Hus slog Kaldæerne i Stykker og førte Kobberet til Babel.
And the Chaldeans broke in pieces the brazen pillars that were in the house of the Lord, and the bases, and the brazen sea that was in the house of the Lord, and they took the brass thereof, and carried it away to Babylon.
18 Karrene, Skovlene, Knivene og Kanderne og alle Kobbersagerne, som brugtes ved Tjenesten, røvede de;
Also the rim, and the bowls, and the flesh hooks, and all the brazen vessels, wherewith they ministered;
19 ogsaa Fadene, Panderne, Skaalene, Karrene, Lysestagerne, Kanderne og Offerskaalene, der helt var af Guld eller Sølv, røvede Øversten for Livvagten.
and the basins, and the snuffers, and the oil-funnels, and the candlesticks, and the censers, and the cups, the golden, of gold, and the silver, of silver, the captain of the guard took away.
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 the one sea, and the twelve brazen oxen under the sea, which [things] king Solomon made for the house of the Lord; the brass of which [articles] was without weight.
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 as for the pillars, the height of one pillar was thirty-five cubits; and a line of twelve cubits compassed it round; and the thickness of it [all] round was four fingers.
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 [there was] a brazen chapiter upon them, and the length was five cubits, [even] the height of one chapiter; and [there were] on the chapiter round about network and pomegranates, all of brass: and correspondingly the second pillar [had] eight pomegranates to a cubit for the twelve cubits.
23 Og der var seks og halvfemsindstyve Granatæbler, som hang frit; der var i alt hundrede Granatæbler rundt om Fletværket.
And the pomegranates were ninety-six on a side; and all the pomegranates on the network round about were a hundred.
24 Øversten for Livvagten tog Ypperstepræsten Seraja, Andenpræsten Zefanja og de tre Dørvogtere;
And the captain of the guard took the chief priest, and the second priest, and those that kept the way;
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 —
and one eunuch, who was over the men of war, and seven men of renown, who were in the king's presence that were found in the city; and the scribe of the forces, who did the part of a scribe to the people of the land; and sixty men of the people of the land, who 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 captain of the king's guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Deblatha.
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 in Deblatha, in the land of Aemath.
28 Følgende er Tallet paa de Folk, Nebukadrezar bortførte i Fangenskab: I hans syvende Aar 3023 Judæere,
29 i Nebukadrezars attende Aar 832 fra Jerusalem;
30 i Nebukadrezars tre og tyvende Aar bortførte Nebuzar'adan, Øversten for Livvagten, 745 af Judæerne; tilsammen 4600.
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 thirty-seventh year after that Joakim king of Juda had been carried away captive, in the twelfth month, on the four and twentieth [day] of the month, [that] Ulaemadachar king of Babylon, in the year in which he began to reign, raised the head of Joakim king of Juda, and shaved him, and brought him out of the house where he was kept,
32 Han talte ham venligt til og gav ham Sæde oven for de Konger, som var hos ham i Babel.
and spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the kings that were with him in Babylon,
33 Jojakin aflagde sin Fangedragt og spiste daglig hos ham, saa længe han levede.
and changed his prison garments: and he ate bread continually before him all the days that he lived.
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 his appointed portion was given him continually by the king of Babylon from day to day, until the day when he died.
