< 2 Kings 24 >
1 In his days, Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came up and Jehoiakim was his servant for three years; then he took up arms against him.
Uti hans tid drog NebucadNezar upp, Konungen i Babel, och Jojakim vardt honom underdånig i tre år. Och han vände sig om, och föll ifrå honom.
2 And the Lord sent against him bands of the Chaldaeans and of the Edomites and of the Moabites and of the children of Ammon; sending them against Judah for its destruction, as he had said by his servants the prophets.
Och Herren lät komma öfver honom krigsfolk, utu Chaldeen, utu Syrien, utu Moab, och ifrån Ammons barn; och lät komma dem i Juda, att de skulle förderfva honom, efter Herrans ord, det han talat hade genom sina tjenare Propheterna.
3 Only by the word of the Lord did this fate come on Judah, to take them away from before his face; because of the sins of Manasseh and all the evil he did;
Men det skedde Juda alltså, efter Herrans ord, på det han skulle kasta dem ifrå sitt ansigte för Manasse synds skull, som han gjort hade;
4 And because of the death of those who had done no wrong, for he made Jerusalem full of the blood of the upright; and the Lord had no forgiveness for it.
Och för det oskyldiga blods skull, som han utgöt, och gjorde Jerusalem fullt med oskyldigt blod; och derföre ville Herren icke förlåtat.
5 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?
Hvad nu mer af Jojakim sägandes är, och allt det han gjort hafver, si, det är skrifvet uti Juda Konungars Chrönico.
6 So Jehoiakim went to rest with his fathers; and Jehoiachin his son became king in his place.
Och Jojakim afsomnade med sina fäder, och hans son Jojachin vardt Konung i hans stad.
7 And the king of Egypt did not come out of his land again, for the king of Babylon had taken all his country, from the stream of Egypt to the river Euphrates.
Och Konungen i Egypten drog icke mer utu sitt land; förty Konungen i Babel hade honom borttagit allt det som Konungens i Egypten var, ifrån Egypti bäck allt intill den älfven Phrath.
8 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he became king, he was ruling in Jerusalem for three months, and his mother's name was Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.
Aderton åra gammal var Jojachin, då han Konung vardt, och regerade tre månader i Jerusalem; hans moder het Nehustha, Elnathans dotter af Jerusalem.
9 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, as his father had done.
Och han gjorde det ondt var för Herranom, såsom hans fader gjort hade.
10 At that time the armies of Nebuchadnezzar came up to Jerusalem and the town was shut in on every side.
På den tiden drogo NebucadNezars Konungens tjenare i Babel upp till Jerusalem, och kringlade staden med bålverk.
11 And Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came there, while his servants were shutting in the town;
Och då NebucadNezar kom till staden med sina tjenare, belade han honom.
12 Then Jehoiachin, king of Judah, went out to the king of Babylon, with his mother and his servants and his chiefs and his unsexed servants; and in the eighth year of his rule the king of Babylon took him.
Men Jojachin, Juda Konung, gick ut till Konungen af Babel med sine moder, med sina tjenare, med sina öfverstar och kamererare. Och Konungen af Babel anammade honom i lians rikes åttonde åre;
13 And he took away all the stored wealth of the Lord's house, and the goods from the king's store-house, cutting up all the gold vessels which Solomon, king of Israel, had made in the house of the Lord, as the Lord had said.
Och tog ut dädan alla håfvor uti Herrans hus, och i Konungshuset; och slog sönder all gyldene kärile, som Salomo, Israels Konung, gjort hade uti Herrans tempel, såsom Herren sagt hade;
14 And he took away all the people of Jerusalem and all the chiefs and all the men of war, ten thousand prisoners; and all the expert workmen and the metal-workers; only the poorest sort of the people of the land were not taken away.
Och förde bort hela Jerusalem, alla öfverstar, alla väldiga, tiotusend fångar, och alla timbermän, och alla smeder, och lät intet qvart blifva, utan det ringesta folket i landena;
15 He took Jehoiachin a prisoner to Babylon, with his mother and his wives and his unsexed servants and the great men of the land; he took them all as prisoners from Jerusalem to Babylon.
Och förde bort Jojachin till Babel, Konungens moder, Konungens hustrur, och hans kamererare; desslikes de myndiga i landena förde han ock fångna bort ifrå Jerusalem till Babel;
16 And all the men of war, seven thousand of them, and a thousand expert workmen and metal-workers, all of them strong and able to take up arms, the king of Babylon took away as prisoners into Babylon.
Och hvad bästa folket var, sjutusend, och de timbermän och smeder, tusende, alle starke krigsmän. Och Konungen af Babel förde dem till Babel.
17 And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah, his father's brother, king in place of Jehoiachin, changing his name to Zedekiah.
Och Konungen af Babel gjorde Matthania, hans faderbroder, till Konung i hans stad, och förvände hans namn Zedekia.
18 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he was king in Jerusalem for eleven years; his mother's name was Hamutal, daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
Ett och tjugu år gammal var Zedekia, då han vardt Konung, och regerade ellofva år i Jerusalem; hans moder het Hamital, Jeremia dotter af Libna.
19 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, as Jehoiakim had done.
Och han gjorde det ondt var för Herranom, såsom Jojakim gjort hade.
20 And because of the wrath of the Lord, this came about in Jerusalem and Judah, till he had sent them all away from before him: and Zedekiah took up arms against the king of Babylon.
Ty det skedde alltså med Jerusalem och Juda utaf Herrans vrede, tilldess han kastade dem bort ifrå sitt ansigte. Och Zedekia vardt affällig ifrå Konungenom i Babel.
