2 Kings 24
1 During Jehoiakim’s reign, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon invaded. So Jehoiakim became his vassal for three years, until he turned and rebelled against Nebuchadnezzar.
I hans Dage drog Kong Nebukadnezar af Balel op, og Jojakim underkastede sig ham; men efter tre Års Forløb faldt han fra ham igen.
2 And the LORD sent Chaldean, Aramean, Moabite, and Ammonite raiders against Jehoiakim in order to destroy Judah, according to the word that the LORD had spoken through His servants the prophets.
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.
3 Surely this happened to Judah at the LORD’s command, to remove them from His presence because of the sins of Manasseh and all that he had done,
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,
4 and also for the innocent blood he had shed. For he had filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and the LORD was unwilling to forgive.
også for det uskyldige Blods Skyld, som han havde udgydt så meget af, at han havde fyldt Jerusalem dermed; det vilde HERREN ikke tilgive.
5 As for the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Jojakim, alt, hvad han udførte, står jo optegnet i Judas Kongers Krønike.
6 And Jehoiakim rested with his fathers, and his son Jehoiachin reigned in his place.
Så lagde Jojakim sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre; og hans Søn Jojakin blev Kooge i hans Sted.
7 Now the king of Egypt did not march out of his land again, because the king of Babylon had taken all his territory, from the Brook of Egypt to the Euphrates River.
Men Ægypterkongen drog ikke mere ud af sit Land, thi Babels Konge havde taget alt, hvad der tilhørte Ægypterkongen fra Ægyptens Bæk til Eufratfloden.
8 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. His mother’s name was Nehushta daughter of Elnathan; she was from Jerusalem.
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.
9 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, just as his father had done.
Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENs Øjne, ganske som hans Fader.
10 At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon marched up to Jerusalem, and the city came under siege.
På den Tid drog Kong Nebukadnezar af Babels Folk op mod Jerusalem, og Byen blev belejret.
11 And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to the city while his servants were besieging it.
Kong Nebukadnezar af Babel kom til Jerusalem, medens hans Folk belejrede det.
12 Jehoiachin king of Judah, his mother, his servants, his commanders, and his officials all surrendered to the king of Babylon. So in the eighth year of his reign, the king of Babylon took him captive.
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.
13 As the LORD had declared, Nebuchadnezzar also carried off all the treasures from the house of the LORD and the royal palace, and he cut into pieces all the gold articles that Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of the LORD.
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.
14 He carried into exile all Jerusalem—all the commanders and mighty men of valor, all the craftsmen and metalsmiths—ten thousand captives in all. Only the poorest people of the land remained.
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.
15 Nebuchadnezzar carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, as well as the king’s mother, his wives, his officials, and the leading men of the land. He took them into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon.
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;
16 The king of Babylon also brought into exile to Babylon all seven thousand men of valor and a thousand craftsmen and metalsmiths—all strong and fit for battle.
fremdeles alle de velbavende, 7000 i Tal, Grovsmedene og Låsesmedene, 1800 i Tal, alle øvede Krigere - dem førte Babels Konge som Fanger til Babel.
17 Then the king of Babylon made Mattaniah, Jehoiachin’s uncle, king in his place and changed his name to Zedekiah.
Men i Jojakins Sted gjorde Babels Konge hans Farbroder Mattanja til Konge, og han ændrede hans Navn til Zedekias.
18 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eleven years. His mother’s name was Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah; she was from Libnah.
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.
19 And Zedekiah did evil in the sight of the LORD, just as Jehoiakim had done.
Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENs Øjne, ganske som Jojakim.
20 For because of the anger of the LORD, all this happened in Jerusalem and Judah, until He finally banished them from His presence. And Zedekiah also rebelled against the king of Babylon.
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.
