< 2 Kings 24 >
1 In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim was his servant three years; then he turned and 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 Jehovah sent against him the bands of the Chaldeans, and the bands of the Syrians, and the bands of the Moabites, and the bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of Jehovah, which he spoke 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 Verily, at the commandment of Jehovah it came to pass against Judah, that they should be removed out of his sight, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he had done;
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 also [because of] the innocent blood that he had shed; for he had filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and Jehovah would not pardon.
saa og for det uskyldige Blod, som han udøste, da han fyldte Jerusalem med uskyldigt Blod; derfor vilde Herren ikke tilgive.
5 And the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Men det øvrige af Jojakims Handeler og alt, hvad han gjorde, ere de Ting ikke skrevne i Judas Kongers Krønikers Bog?
6 And Jehoiakim slept with his fathers, and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead.
Og Jojakim laa med sine Fædre, og hans Søn Jojakin blev Konge i hans Sted.
7 And the king of Egypt came not again any more out of his land, for the king of Babylon had taken all that belonged to the king of Egypt, from the torrent of Egypt to 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 began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Nehushta, daughter of Elnathan of 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 in the sight of Jehovah, according to 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 king of Babylon came up against Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.
Paa den Tid droge Nebukadnezars, Babels Konges, Tjenere op til Jerusalem, og Staden blev belejret.
11 And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came against the city, while his servants were besieging it.
Og Nebukadnezar, Kongen af Babel, kom til Staden, og hans Tjenere belejrede den.
12 And Jehoiachin king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his princes, and his chamberlains; and the king of Babylon took 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 brought out thence all the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the king's house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold that Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of Jehovah, as Jehovah had said.
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 Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valour, ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and smiths: none remained but the poorest sort of 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 And he carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, and the king's mother, and the king's wives, and his chamberlains, and the mighty of the land, he led into captivity 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 men of valour, seven thousand, and the craftsmen and smiths a thousand, all strong men apt for war, and the king of Babylon brought them captive to 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 the king of Babylon made Mattaniah his uncle king in his stead, and changed his name to Zedekiah.
Og Kongen af Babel gjorde Mathania, hans Farbroder, til Konge i hans Sted, og han omvendte hans Navn til Zedekias.
18 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Hamutal, daughter of Jeremiah of 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 in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
Og han gjorde det, som var ondt for Herrens Øjne, efter alt det, som Jojakim havde gjort.
20 For, because the anger of Jehovah was against Jerusalem and against Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence, Zedekiah rebelled against 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.
