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.
I hans tid drog Babel-kongen Nebukadnessar upp, og Jojakim vart lydkongen hans. Men tri år etter fall han ifrå honom att.
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.
Herren sende då imot honom kaldæiske, syriske, moabitiske og ammonitiske røvarflokkar. Han sende deim mot Juda til å øyda landet, etter Herrens ord, som han hadde tala ved tenarane sine, profetarne.
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;
Ja, på Herrens bod gjekk det so med Juda at dei vart burtstøytte frå hans åsyn, for Manasses synder skuld, for alt det han hadde 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.
soleis og for det skuldlause blodet han let renna, då han fyllte Jerusalem med skuldlaust blod; det vilde Herren ikkje tilgjeva.
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?
Det som elles er å fortelja um Jojakim og alt det han gjorde, det er uppskrive i krønikeboki åt Juda-kongarne.
6 And Jehoiakim slept with his fathers, and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead.
Jojakim lagde seg til kvile hjå federne sine, og Jojakin, son hans, vart konge i staden hans.
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.
No for ikkje egyptarkongen ut frå landet sitt meir; for Babel-kongen hadde teke alt det landet egyptarkongen åtte frå Egyptarlands-bekken til elvi Frat.
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.
Attan år gamall var Jojakin då han vart konge, tri månader rådde han i Jerusalem. Mor hans heitte Nehusta Elnatansdotter, frå Jerusalem.
9 And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that his father had done.
Han gjorde det som vondt var i Herrens augo, plent som far hans.
10 At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.
På den tid drog Babel-kongen Nebukadnessars folk upp mot Jerusalem, og byen vart kringsett.
11 And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came against the city, while his servants were besieging it.
Kong Nebukadnessar kom sjølv til byen, medan herfolket hans kringsette honom.
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.
Juda-kongen Jojakin gav seg då yver til Babel-kongen med mor si og tenarane og hovdingarne og hirdmennerne sine; og Babel-kongen tok honom til fange i åttande styringsår.
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.
Han førde burt derifrå alle skattar i Herrens hus og i kongsgarden. Han braut laust gullet av alle gognerne som Salomo, Israels konge, hadde laga åt Herrens tempel, soleis som Herren hadde sagt.
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.
Han førde burt heile Jerusalem, alle hovdingarne og godseigarne, ti tusund fangar, og alle grovsmedar og låssmedar. Det vart ikkje att anna enn fatigfolk i landet.
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;
Han førde Jojakin burt til Babel; og kongsmori og kongskonorne og hirdmennerne hans og storfolket i landet førde han fangar frå 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 godseigarane: sju tusund, grovsmedar og låssmedar: eit tusund, alle i hop djerve hermenner, deim førde Babel-kongen burt til Babel.
17 And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah his uncle king in his stead, and changed his name to Zedekiah.
Og Babel-kongen sette Mattanja, farbror hans, til konge i staden hans, og brigda namnet hans til Sidkia.
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.
Eitt og tjuge år gamall var Sidkia då han vart konge; elleve år rådde han i Jerusalem. Mor hans heitte Hamital Jirmejadotter, frå Libna.
19 And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
Han gjorde det som vondt var i Herrens augo, plent som Jojakim.
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.
Det var for Herrens harm skuld det gjekk so med Jerusalem og Juda, til dess han støytte deim burt frå si åsyn. Sidkia fall ifrå Babel-kongen.
