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.
I hans tid drog kongen i Babel Nebukadnesar op, og Jojakim blev hans tjener i tre år; da falt han fra ham igjen.
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 mot ham kaldeiske og syriske og moabittiske og ammonittiske hærflokker; han sendte dem mot Juda for å ødelegge det efter det ord som Herren hadde talt ved sine tjenere profetene.
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,
Det var bare efter Herrens bud dette kom over Juda, fordi han vilde støte dem bort fra sitt åsyn for Manasses synders skyld, for alt det han hadde 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.
også for det uskyldige blods skyld som han hadde utøst, så han fylte Jerusalem med uskyldig blod; og Herren vilde ikke tilgi.
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.
Hvad som ellers er å fortelle om Jojakim og om alt det han gjorde, det er opskrevet i Judas kongers krønike.
6 And Jehoiachin, his son, reigned in his place.
Og Jojakim la sig til hvile hos sine fedre, og hans sønn 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 i Egypten drog ikke mere ut av sitt land; for kongen i Babel hadde tatt alt det som hadde tilhørt kongen i Egypten, fra Egyptens bekk til Frat-elven.
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 år gammel da han blev konge, og han regjerte tre måneder i Jerusalem; hans mor hette Nehusta; hun var datter av Elnatan og var fra Jerusalem.
9 And he did evil before the Lord, in accord with all that his father had done.
Han gjorde hvad ondt var i Herrens øine, aldeles som hans far hadde gjort.
10 At that time, the servants of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, ascended against Jerusalem. And the city was encircled with fortifications.
På den tid drog Babels konge Nebukadnesars menn op til Jerusalem, og byen blev kringsatt.
11 And Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, went to the city, with his servants, so that he might fight against it.
Siden drog kongen i Babel Nebukadnesar selv mot byen, mens hans menn holdt den kringsatt.
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.
Da gikk Judas konge Jojakin ut til kongen i Babel, både han og hans mor og hans tjenere og høvedsmenn og hoffmenn; og kongen i Babel tok ham til fange i sitt åttende regjeringsår.
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.
Han førte bort alle skattene i Herrens hus og i kongens hus, og han brøt gullet av alle de redskaper som Israels konge Salomo hadde latt gjøre i Herrens tempel, således som Herren hadde sagt.
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.
Han bortførte hele Jerusalem, alle de fornemste og alle rikmenn - ti tusen fanger - og alle tømmermenn og stenhuggere og smeder; det blev ikke nogen tilbake uten de ringeste av landets folk.
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,
Han bortførte Jojakin til Babel; også kongens mor og hustruer og hoffmenn og de mektigste i landet førte han 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 rikmennene - syv tusen - og tømmermennene og stenhuggerne og smedene - tusen - alle sammen djerve krigsmenn, dem førte kongen i Babel fangne til Babel.
17 And he appointed Mattaniah, his uncle, in his place. And he imposed the name Zedekiah upon him.
Og kongen i Babel satte hans farbror Mattanja til konge i hans sted og forandret hans navn til Sedekias.
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.
Sedekias var en og tyve år gammel da han blev konge, og han regjerte elleve år i Jerusalem; hans mor hette Hamital; hun var datter av Jirmeja og var fra Libna.
19 And he did evil before the Lord, in accord with all that Jehoiakim had done.
Han gjorde hvad ondt var i Herrens øine, aldeles som Jojakim hadde 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.
For på grunn av Herrens vrede gikk det så med Jerusalem og Juda, inntil han kastet dem bort fra sitt åsyn. Og Sedekias falt fra kongen i Babel
