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.
Landets folk tok og gjorde Joakas, Josias' sønn, til konge i hans fars sted i Jerusalem.
2 Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months.
Joakas var tre og tyve år gammel da han blev konge, og han regjerte 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 kongen i Egypten avsatte ham, så han ikke lenger var konge i Jerusalem, og lot landet bøte hundre talenter sølv og en talent gull.
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.
Så gjorde kongen i Egypten Neko hans bror Eljakim til konge over Juda og Jerusalem og forandret hans navn til Jojakim, men hans bror Joakas tok han med sig og førte ham til Egypten.
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 regjerte elleve år i Jerusalem. Han gjorde hvad ondt var i Herrens, hans Guds øine.
6 Then Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against Jehoiakim and bound him with bronze shackles to take him to Babylon.
Kongen i Babel Nebukadnesar drog op mot ham og lot ham binde med to kobberlenker for å 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.
Nebukadnesar førte også en del av karene i Herrens hus til Babel og satte dem i sitt tempel 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 som ellers er å fortelle om Jojakim og om de vederstyggelige ting han gjorde sig skyldig i, og hvad ondt det ellers fantes hos ham, det er opskrevet i boken om Israels og Judas konger. Og hans sønn 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 regjerte tre måneder og ti dager i Jerusalem. Han gjorde hvad ondt var i Herrens øine.
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.
Ved årsskiftet sendte kong Nebukadnesar krigsfolk avsted og lot ham føre til Babel, og med ham de kostbare kar i Herrens hus, og han gjorde hans bror Sedekias til konge over Juda og Jerusalem.
11 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eleven years.
Sedekias var en og tyve år gammel da han blev konge, og han regjerte 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 ondt var i Herrens, hans Guds øine; han ydmyket sig ikke for profeten Jeremias, hvis ord kom fra Herrens munn.
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.
Han gjorde også oprør mot kong Nebukadnesar, som hadde latt ham sverge sig troskap ved Gud; han var hårdnakket og forherdet sitt hjerte, så han ikke vendte om 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.
Også alle prestenes og folkets høvdinger forsyndet sig storlig og fulgte alle hedningefolkenes vederstyggelige skikker, og de gjorde Herrens hus urent, det som han hadde 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 fedres Gud, sendte sine ord til dem ved sine sendebud tidlig og sent; for han ynkedes over sitt folk og over 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 spottet Guds sendebud og foraktet hans ord og hånte hans profeter, inntil Herrens vrede mot sitt folk blev så sterk at det ikke lenger var nogen 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,
Da lot han kaldeernes konge dra op mot dem, og han drepte deres unge menn med sverdet i deres hellige hus og sparte hverken unggutter eller jomfruer eller gamle og gråhårede - alle gav 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 karene i Guds hus, både store og små, og skattene i Herrens hus og kongens og hans høvdingers skatter - alt førte han 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 brente op Guds hus og rev ned Jerusalems mur; alle dets palasser brente de op med ild, og alle dets kostbare kar blev ødelagt.
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 som sverdet hadde levnet, førte han som fanger til Babel, og de blev hans og hans sønners træler, til perserriket fikk makten,
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.
forat Herrens ord i Jeremias' munn skulde bli opfylt - til landet hadde gjort fyldest for sine sabbatsår; alle de dager det lå øde, hadde det hvile - til sytti år var gått til ende.
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:
Så var det i perserkongen Kyros' første år; da vakte Herren, forat hans ord i Jeremias' munn skulde opfylles, slike tanker i perserkongen Kyros' ånd at han lot utrope i hele sitt rike og dessuten kunngjøre 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.’”
Så sier Kyros, kongen i Persia: Herren, himmelens Gud, har gitt mig alle jordens riker, og han har pålagt mig å bygge ham et hus i Jerusalem i Juda. Er det nogen blandt eder av alt hans folk, så være Herren hans Gud med ham, og han kan dra dit!
