7 og Nebukadnezar lod en Del af HERRENs Hus's Kar bringe til Babel og opstillede dem i sin Borg i Babel.

And he did euill in the sight of the Lord his God, and humbled not himselfe before Ieremiah the Prophet at the commandement of the Lord,

13 Desuden faldt han fra Kong Nebudkanezar, der havde taget ham i Ed ved Gud; og han var halsstarrig og forhærdede sit Hjerte, så han ikke omvendte sig til HERREN, Israels Gud.

But he rebelled moreouer against Nebuchadnezzar, which had caused him to sweare by God: and he hardened his necke and made his heart obstinate that he might not returne to the Lord God of Israel.

14 Ligeledes gjorde alle Judas Øverster og Præsterne og Folket sig skyldige i megen Troløshed ved at efterligne alle Hedningefolkenes Vederstyggeligheder, og de besmittede HERRENs Hus, som han havde helliget i Jerusalem.

All the chiefe of the Priestes also and of the people trespassed wonderfully, according to all the abominations of the heathen, and polluted the house of the Lord which he had sanctified in Ierusalem.

15 HERREN, deres Fædres Gud, sendte tidlig og silde manende Ord til dem ved sine Sendebud, fordi han ynkedes oer sit Folk og sin Bolig;

Therefore the Lord God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising earely and sending: for he had compassion on his people, and on his habitation.

16 men de spottede Guds Sendebud, lod hånt om hans Ord og gjorde sig lystige over hans Profeter, indtil HERRENs Vrede mod hans Folk tog til i den Grad, at der ikke mere var Lægedom.

But they mocked the messengers of God and despised his wordes, and misused his Prophets, vntill the wrath of the Lord arose against his people, and till there was no remedie.

17 Han førte Kaldæernes Konge imod dem, og han dræbte deres unge Mandskab med Sværdet i deres hellige Tempel og ynkedes ikke over Yngling eller Jomfru, gammel eller Olding - alt overgav han i hans Hånd.

For he brought vpon them the King of the Caldeans, who slewe their yong men with the sworde in the house of their Sanctuarie, and spared neither yong man, nor virgin, ancient, nor aged. God gaue all into his hande,

18 Alle Karrene i Guds Hus, store og små, HERRENs Hus's Skatte og Kongens og hans Øverstes Skatte lod han alt sammen bringe til Babel.

And all the vessels of the house of God great and small, and the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the King, and of his princes: all these caryed he to Babel.

19 De stak Ild på Guds Hus, nedrev Jerusalems Mur, opbrændte alle dets Borge og ødelagde alle kostelige Ting deri.

And they burnt the house of God, and brake downe the wall of Ierusalem, and burnt all the palaces thereof with fire, and all the precious vessels thereof, to destroy all.

20 Dem, Sværdet levnede, førte han som Fanger til Babel, hvor de blev Trælle for ham og hans Sønner, indtil Perserriget fik Magten,

And they that were left by the sworde, caryed he away to Babel, and they were seruants to him and to his sonnes, vntill the kingdome of the Persians had rule,

21 for at HERRENs Ord gennem Jeremias's Mund kunde opfyldes, indtil Landet fik sine Sabbater godtgjort; så længe Ødelæggelsen varede, hvilede det, til der var gået halvfjerdsindstyve År.

To fulfill the worde of the Lord by the mouth of Ieremiah, vntill the lande had her fill of her Sabbaths: for all the dayes that she lay desolate, she kept Sabbath, to fulfill seuentie yeeres.

22 Men i Perserkongen Kyros's første Regeringsår vakte HERREN, for at hans Ord gennem Jeremias's Mund kunde opfyldes, Perserkongen Kyros's Ånd, så han lod følgende udråbe i hele sit Rige og desuden kundgøre ved en Skrivelse:

But in the first yeere of Cyrus King of Persia (when the worde of the Lord, spoken by the mouth of Ieremiah, was finished) the Lord stirred vp the spirit of Cyrus King of Persia, and he made a proclamation through all his kingdome, and also by writing, saying,

23 "Perserkongen Kyros gør vitterligt: Alle Jordens Riger har HERREN, Himmelens Gud, givet mig; og han har pålagt mig at bygge ham et Hus i Jerusalem i Juda. Hvem iblandt eder, der hører til hans Folk, med ham være HERREN hans Gud, og han drage derop!"

Thus saith Cyrus King of Persia, All the kingdomes of the earth hath the Lord God of heauen giuen me, and hath commanded me to build him an house in Ierusalem, that is in Iudah. Who is among you of all his people, with whom the Lord his God is? let him goe vp.
