Anden Kongebog 24
1 I hans Dage drog Kong Nebukadnezar af Balel op, og Jojakim underkastede sig ham; men efter tre Års Forløb faldt han fra ham igen.
In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim was his servant three years; then he turned 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 Jehovah sent against him the bands of the Chaldeans, and the bands of the Syrians, and the bands of the Moabites, and the bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of Jehovah, which he spoke through his servants the prophets.
3 Det skyldtes ene og alene HERRENs Vrede, at Juda blev drevet bort fra HERRENs Åsyn; det var for Manasses Synders Skyld, for alt det, han havde gjort,
Verily, at the commandment of Jehovah it came to pass against Judah, that they should be removed out of his sight, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he had done;
4 også for det uskyldige Blods Skyld, som han havde udgydt så meget af, at han havde fyldt Jerusalem dermed; det vilde HERREN ikke tilgive.
and also [because of] the innocent blood that he had shed; for he had filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and Jehovah would not pardon.
5 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Jojakim, alt, hvad han udførte, står jo optegnet i Judas Kongers Krønike.
And the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
6 Så lagde Jojakim sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre; og hans Søn Jojakin blev Kooge i hans Sted.
And 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 not again any more out of his land, for the king of Babylon had taken all that belonged to the king of Egypt, from the torrent of Egypt to the river Euphrates.
8 Jojakin var atten År gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede tre Måneder i Jerusålem. Hans Moder hed Nehusjta og var en Datter af Elnatan fra Jerusalem.
Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months 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 evil in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that his father had done.
10 På den Tid drog Kong Nebukadnezar af Babels Folk op mod Jerusalem, og Byen blev belejret.
At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.
11 Kong Nebukadnezar af Babel kom til Jerusalem, medens hans Folk belejrede det.
And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came against the city, while his servants were besieging it.
12 Da overgav Kong Jojakin af Juda sig med sin Modet, sine Tjenere, Øverster og Hoffolk til Babels Konge, og han tog imod ham; det var i Kongen af Babels ottende Regeringsår.
And Jehoiachin king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his princes, and his chamberlains; 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 brought out thence all the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the king's house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold that Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of Jehovah, as Jehovah had said.
14 Og han førte hele Jerusalem, alle Øversterne og de velhavende, 10.000 i Tal, bort som Fanger, ligeledes Grovsmede og Låsesmede, så der ikke blev andre tilbage end de fattigste af Folket fra Landet.
And he carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valour, ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and smiths: none remained but the poorest sort of the people of the land.
15 Så førte han Jojakin som Fange til Babel, også Kongens Moder og Hustruer, hans Hoffolk og alle de højtstående i Landet førte han som Fanger fra Jerusalem til Babel;
And he carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, and the king's mother, and the king's wives, and his chamberlains, and the mighty of the land, he led into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon;
16 fremdeles alle de velbavende, 7000 i Tal, Grovsmedene og Låsesmedene, 1800 i Tal, alle øvede Krigere - dem førte Babels Konge som Fanger til Babel.
and all the men of valour, seven thousand, and the craftsmen and smiths a thousand, all strong men apt for war, and 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 uncle king in his stead, and changed his name to Zedekiah.
18 Zedekias var een og tyve År gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede elleve År i Jerusalem. Hans Moder hed Hamital og var en Datter af Jirmeja fra Libna.
Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years 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 evil in the sight of Jehovah, 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 Åsyn. Og Zedekias faldt fra Babels Konge.
For, because the anger of Jehovah was against Jerusalem and against Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence, Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
