< 2 Chronicles 36 >
1 Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz son of Josiah and made him king in Jerusalem in place of his father.
Folket fra Landet tog nu Josias's Søn Joahaz og hyldede ham til Konge i Jerusalem i hans Faders Sted.
2 Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months.
Joahaz var tre og tyve År gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede tre Måneder i Jerusalem.
3 And the king of Egypt dethroned him in Jerusalem and imposed on Judah a levy of a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
Men Ægypterkongen afsatte ham fra Regeringen i Jerusalem og lagde en Skat af hundrede Talenter Sølv og ti Talenter Guld på Landet.
4 Then Neco king of Egypt made Eliakim brother of Jehoahaz king over Judah and Jerusalem, and he changed Eliakim’s name to Jehoiakim. But Neco took Eliakim’s brother Jehoahaz and carried him off to Egypt.
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.
5 Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eleven years. And he did evil in the sight of the LORD his God.
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.
6 Then Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against Jehoiakim and bound him with bronze shackles to take him to Babylon.
Kong Nebukadnezer af Babel drog op imod ham og lagde ham i Kobberlænker for at føre ham til Babel;
7 Nebuchadnezzar also took to Babylon some of the articles from the house of the LORD, and he put them in his temple in Babylon.
og Nebukadnezar lod en Del af HERRENs Hus's Kar bringe til Babel og opstillede dem i sin Borg i Babel.
8 As for the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, the abominations he committed, and all that was found against him, they are indeed written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah. And his son Jehoiachin reigned in his place.
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.
9 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months and ten days. And he did evil in the sight of the LORD.
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.
10 In the spring, King Nebuchadnezzar summoned Jehoiachin and brought him to Babylon, along with the articles of value from the house of the LORD. And he made Jehoiachin’s relative Zedekiah king over Judah and Jerusalem.
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.
11 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eleven years.
Zedekias var een og tyve År gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede i elleve År i Jerusalem.
12 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD his God and did not humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet, who spoke for the LORD.
Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERREN hans Guds Øjne. Han ydmygede sig ikke under de Ord, Profeten Jeremias talte fra HERRENs Mund.
13 He also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God. But Zedekiah stiffened his neck and hardened his heart against turning to the LORD, the God of Israel.
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.
14 Furthermore, all the leaders of the priests and the people multiplied their unfaithful deeds, following all the abominations of the nations, and they defiled the house of the LORD, which He had consecrated in Jerusalem.
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.
15 Again and again the LORD, the God of their fathers, sent word to His people through His messengers because He had compassion on them and on His dwelling place.
HERREN, deres Fædres Gud, sendte tidlig og silde manende Ord til dem ved sine Sendebud, fordi han ynkedes oer sit Folk og sin Bolig;
16 But they mocked the messengers of God, despising His words and scoffing at His prophets, until the wrath of the LORD against His people was stirred up beyond remedy.
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.
17 So He brought up against them the king of the Chaldeans, who put their young men to the sword in the sanctuary, sparing neither young men nor young women, neither elderly nor infirm. God gave them all into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar,
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.
18 who carried off everything to Babylon—all the articles of the house of God, both large and small, and the treasures of the house of the LORD and of the king and his officials.
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.
19 Then the Chaldeans set fire to the house of God and broke down the wall of Jerusalem. They burned down all the palaces and destroyed every article of value.
De stak Ild på Guds Hus, nedrev Jerusalems Mur, opbrændte alle dets Borge og ødelagde alle kostelige Ting deri.
20 Those who escaped the sword were carried by Nebuchadnezzar into exile in Babylon, and they became servants to him and his sons until the kingdom of Persia came to power.
Dem, Sværdet levnede, førte han som Fanger til Babel, hvor de blev Trælle for ham og hans Sønner, indtil Perserriget fik Magten,
21 So the land enjoyed its Sabbath rest all the days of the desolation, until seventy years were completed, in fulfillment of the word of the LORD through Jeremiah.
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.
22 In the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, to fulfill the word of the LORD spoken through Jeremiah, the LORD stirred the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia to send a proclamation throughout his kingdom and to put it in writing as follows:
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:
23 “This is what Cyrus king of Persia says: ‘The LORD, the God of heaven, who has given me all the kingdoms of the earth, has appointed me to build a house for Him at Jerusalem in Judah. Whoever among you belongs to His people, may the LORD his God be with him, and may he go up.’”
"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!"
