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 has come up, and Jehoiakim is a servant to him [for] three years; and he turns and rebels 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 YHWH sends against him the troops of the Chaldeans, and the troops of Aram, and the troops of Moab, and the troops of the sons of Ammon, and He sends them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of YHWH that He spoke by the hand of 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,
only, by the command of YHWH it has been against Judah to turn [them] aside from His presence, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did,
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 the innocent blood that he has shed, and he fills Jerusalem with innocent blood, and YHWH was not willing to forgive.
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 matters of Jehoiakim and all that he did, are they not written on the scroll 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 lies with his fathers, and his son Jehoiachin reigns 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 has not added anymore to go out from his own land, for the king of Babylon has taken, from the Brook of Egypt to the Euphrates River, all that had been to the king of Egypt.
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 [is] a son of eighteen years in his reigning, and he has reigned three months in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Nehushta daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem,
9 Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENs Øjne, ganske som hans Fader.
and he does evil in the eyes of YHWH, according to all that his fathers did.
10 På den Tid drog Kong Nebukadnezar af Babels Folk op mod Jerusalem, og Byen blev belejret.
At that time servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon have come up to Jerusalem, and the city goes into siege,
11 Kong Nebukadnezar af Babel kom til Jerusalem, medens hans Folk belejrede det.
and Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon comes against the city, and his servants are laying siege to 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 goes out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his chiefs, and his eunuchs, and the king of Babylon takes 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 brings out from there all the treasures of the house of YHWH, and the treasures of the house of the king, and cuts in pieces all the vessels of gold that Solomon king of Israel made in the temple of YHWH, as YHWH had spoken.
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 has removed all Jerusalem, and all the chiefs, and all the mighty men of valor—ten thousand [is] the expulsion—and every craftsman and smith; none has been left except the poor 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 removes Jehoiachin to Babylon, and the mother of the king, and the wives of the king, and his eunuchs, and the mighty ones of the land—he has caused a removal to go 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 valor, seven thousand, and the craftsmen and the smiths, one thousand, the whole [are] mighty men, warriors; and the king of Babylon brings them in a captivity 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 causes his father’s brother Mattaniah to reign in his stead, and turns 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 [is] a son of twenty-one years in his reigning, and he has reigned eleven years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah,
19 Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENs Øjne, ganske som Jojakim.
and he does evil in the eyes of YHWH according to all that Jehoiakim did,
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 by the anger of YHWH it has been against Jerusalem and against Judah, until He [finally] cast them out from His presence. And Zedekiah rebels against the king of Babylon.
