Anden Krønikebog 36

1 Folket fra Landet tog nu Josias's Søn Joahaz og hyldede ham til Konge i Jerusalem i hans Faders Sted.

Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in his father's stead in Jerusalem.

2 Joahaz var tre og tyve År gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede tre Måneder i Jerusalem.

Joahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.

3 Men Ægypterkongen afsatte ham fra Regeringen i Jerusalem og lagde en Skat af hundrede Talenter Sølv og ti Talenter Guld på Landet.

And the king of Egypt deposed him at Jerusalem, and fined the land a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.

4 Derpå gjorde Ægypterkongen hans Broder Eljakim til Konge over Juda og Jerusalem, og han ændrede hans Navn til Jojakim; hans Broder Joahaz derimod tog Neko med til Ægypten.

And the king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. And Neco took Joahaz his brother, and carried him to Egypt.

5 Jojakim var fem og tyve År gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede elleve År i Jerusalem. Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERREN hans Guds Øjne.

Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem; and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD his God.

6 Kong Nebukadnezer af Babel drog op imod ham og lagde ham i Kobberlænker for at føre ham til Babel;

Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon.

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

Nebuchadnezzar also carried of the vessels of the house of the LORD to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon.

8 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Jojakim og de Vederstyggeligheder, han øvede, hvad der er at sige om ham, står optegnet i Bogen om Israels og Judas Konger. Og hans Søn Jojakin blev Konge i hans Sted.

Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and his abominations which he did, and that which was found in him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah; and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead.

9 Jojakin var atten År gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede tre Måneder og ti Dage i Jerusalem. Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENs Øjne.

Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem; and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD.

10 Næste År sendfe Kong Nebukadnezar Folk og lod ham bringe til Babel tillige med HERRENs Hus's kostelige Kar; og han gjorde hans Broder Zedekias til Konge over Juda og Jerusalem.

And at the return of the year king Nebuchadnezzar sent, and brought him to Babylon, with the goodly vessels of the house of the LORD, and made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem.

11 Zedekias var een og tyve År gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede i elleve År i Jerusalem.

Zedekiah was twenty and one years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem;

12 Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERREN hans Guds Øjne. Han ydmygede sig ikke under de Ord, Profeten Jeremias talte fra HERRENs Mund.

and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD his God; he humbled not himself before Jeremiah the prophet speaking from the mouth 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.

And he also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God; but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart from turning unto the LORD, the 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.

Moreover all the chiefs of the priests, and the people, transgressed very greatly after all the abominations of the nations; and they polluted the house of the LORD which He had hallowed in Jerusalem.

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;

And the LORD, the God of their fathers, sent to them by His messengers, sending betimes and often; because He had compassion on His people, and on His dwelling-place;

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 words, and scoffed at His prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against His people, till there was no remedy.

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.

Therefore He brought upon them the king of the Chaldeans, who slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or maiden, old man or hoary-headed; He gave them all into his hand.

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 he brought to Babylon.

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 broke down the wall of Jerusalem, and burnt all the palaces thereof with fire, and destroyed all the goodly vessels thereof.

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

And them that had escaped from the sword carried he away to Babylon; and they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia;

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 fulfil the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had been paid her sabbaths; for as long as she lay desolate she kept sabbath, to fulfil threescore and ten years.

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:

Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in 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 kingdoms of the earth hath the LORD, the God of heaven, given me; and He hath charged me to build Him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whosoever there is among you of all His people — the LORD his God be with him — let him go up.'
