< 2 Kings 24 >
1 During his days, Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, ascended, and Jehoiakim became his servant for three years. And again he rebelled against him.
Ihans Dage drog Nebukadnezar, Kongen af Babel, op, og Jojakim blev hans Tjener i tre Aar; derefter vendte han om og faldt fra ham.
2 And the Lord sent to him the robbers of the Chaldeans, and the robbers of Syria, and the robbers of Moab, and the robbers of the sons of Ammon. And he sent them into Judah, so that they might destroy it, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he had spoken through his servants, the prophets.
Og Herren sendte Kaldæernes Tropper og Syrernes Tropper og Moabiternes Tropper og Ammons Børns Tropper imod ham og sendte dem ind i Juda til at ødelægge det efter Herrens Ord, som han havde talt ved sine Tjenere, Profeterne.
3 Then this occurred, by the word of the Lord against Judah, that he took him away from before himself because of all the sins of Manasseh which he did,
Visselig skete det i Juda efter Herrens Ord, at han bortkastede dem fra sit Ansigt for Manasses Synders Skyld, efter alt det, som han havde gjort;
4 and because of the innocent blood which he shed, and because he filled Jerusalem with the slaughter of the innocent. And for this reason, the Lord was not willing to be appeased.
saa og for det uskyldige Blod, som han udøste, da han fyldte Jerusalem med uskyldigt Blod; derfor vilde Herren ikke tilgive.
5 But the rest of the words of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah? And Jehoiakim slept with his fathers.
Men det øvrige af Jojakims Handeler og alt, hvad han gjorde, ere de Ting ikke skrevne i Judas Kongers Krønikers Bog?
6 And Jehoiachin, his son, reigned in his place.
Og Jojakim laa med sine Fædre, og hans Søn Jojakin blev Konge i hans Sted.
7 And the king of Egypt no longer continued to go out from his own land. For the king of Babylon had taken all that had belonged to the king of Egypt, from the river of Egypt as far as the river Euphrates.
Men Kongen af Ægypten blev ikke ydermere ved at drage ud af sit Land; thi Kongen af Babel havde taget fra Ægyptens Bæk indtil Floden Frat alt det, som var Kongen af Ægyptens.
8 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for three months in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan, from Jerusalem.
Jojakin var atten Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede tre Maaneder i Jerusalem, og hans Moders Navn var Nehustha, Elnathans Datter fra Jerusalem.
9 And he did evil before the Lord, in accord with all that his father had done.
Og han gjorde det, som var ondt for Herrens Øjne, efter alt det, som hans Fader havde gjort.
10 At that time, the servants of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, ascended against Jerusalem. And the city was encircled with fortifications.
Paa den Tid droge Nebukadnezars, Babels Konges, Tjenere op til Jerusalem, og Staden blev belejret.
11 And Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, went to the city, with his servants, so that he might fight against it.
Og Nebukadnezar, Kongen af Babel, kom til Staden, og hans Tjenere belejrede den.
12 And Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his leaders, and his eunuchs. And the king of Babylon received him, in the eighth year of his reign.
Men Jojakin, Kongen i Juda, gik ud til Kongen af Babel, han og hans Moder og hans Tjenere og hans Fyrster og hans Hofbetjente, og Kongen af Babel tog ham fangen i sin Regerings ottende Aar.
13 And he took from there all the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the house of the king. And he cut up all the gold vessels which Solomon, the king of Israel, had made for the temple of the Lord, in accord with the word of the Lord.
Og han udførte derfra alle Skattene i Herrens Hus og Skattene i Kongens Hus og afbrød alt det Guldtøj, som Salomo, Israels Konge, havde ladet gøre i Herrens Tempel, som Herren havde talt.
14 And he carried away all of Jerusalem, and all the leaders, and all the strong men of the army, ten thousand, into captivity, with every artisan and craftsman. And no one was left behind, except the poor among the people of the land.
Og han bortførte hele Jerusalem, baade alle Øversterne og alle de vældige til Strid, ti Tusinde fangne, og alle Tømmermændene og Smedene, der blev ikke uden det ringeste Folk i Landet tilbage.
15 Also, he carried away Jehoiachin into Babylon, and the mother of the king, and the wives of the king, and his eunuchs. And he led into captivity the judges of the land, from Jerusalem to Babylon,
Og han bortførte Jojakin til Babel, og Kongens Moder og Kongens Hustruer og hans Hofbetjente og de mægtige i Landet lod han gaa fangne fra Jerusalem til Babel;
16 and all the robust men, seven thousand, and the artisans and craftsman, one thousand: all who were strong men and fit for war. And the king of Babylon led them away as captives, into Babylon.
og alle stridbare Mænd, syv Tusinde, Tømmermænd og Smede, tusinde, alle vældige, som kunde føre Krig, dem førte Kongen af Babel ogsaa fangne til Babel.
17 And he appointed Mattaniah, his uncle, in his place. And he imposed the name Zedekiah upon him.
Og Kongen af Babel gjorde Mathania, hans Farbroder, til Konge i hans Sted, og han omvendte hans Navn til Zedekias.
18 Zedekiah held twenty-one years of life when he had begun to reign. And he reigned for eleven years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah, from Libnah.
Zedekias var et og tyve Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede elleve Aar i Jerusalem, og hans Moders Navn var Hamutal, Jeremias's Datter fra Libna.
19 And he did evil before the Lord, in accord with all that Jehoiakim had done.
Og han gjorde det, som var ondt for Herrens Øjne, efter alt det, som Jojakim havde gjort.
20 For the Lord was angry against Jerusalem and against Judah, until he cast them away from his face. And so Zedekiah withdrew from the king of Babylon.
Men det gik efter Herrens Vrede i Jerusalem og Juda, indtil han forkastede dem fra sit Ansigt; og Zedekias faldt fra Kongen af Babel.
