2 Kings 24
1 During the reign of Jehoiakim, Nebuchadnezzar, kind of Babylon, invaded the country and Jehoiakim submitted to him. But after three years Jehoiakim rebelled against Nebuchadnezzar.
I hans tid drog Babel-kongen Nebukadnessar upp, og Jojakim vart lydkongen hans. Men tri år etter fall han ifrå honom att.
2 Then the Lord sent bands of raiders against Judah to destroy them. They came from Babylonia, Aram, Moab, and Ammon, just as the Lord had said 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 The Lord spoke against Judah to banish them from his presence because of all the sins that Manasseh had committed, and the innocent people he had killed,
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 filling Jerusalem with their blood. The Lord was not willing to forgive this.
soleis og for det skuldlause blodet han let renna, då han fyllte Jerusalem med skuldlaust blod; det vilde Herren ikkje tilgjeva.
5 The rest of what happened in Jehoiakim's reign, and all he did, are recorded in the Book of 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 Jehoiakim died, and his son Jehoiachin succeeded him as king.
Jojakim lagde seg til kvile hjå federne sine, og Jojakin, son hans, vart konge i staden hans.
7 The king of Egypt didn't leave his country again for the king of Babylon had taken all the territory that used to belong to him, from the Wadi of Egypt all the way to the Euphrates River.
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 when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for three months. His mother was Nehushta, daughter of Elnathan. She came from Jerusalem.
Attan år gamall var Jojakin då han vart konge, tri månader rådde han i Jerusalem. Mor hans heitte Nehusta Elnatansdotter, frå Jerusalem.
9 Jehoiachin did what was evil in the Lord's sight, just as his father had done.
Han gjorde det som vondt var i Herrens augo, plent som far hans.
10 At that time the officers of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon attacked Jerusalem and besieged it.
På den tid drog Babel-kongen Nebukadnessars folk upp mot Jerusalem, og byen vart kringsett.
11 Then Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon came himself while his officers were besieging the city.
Kong Nebukadnessar kom sjølv til byen, medan herfolket hans kringsette honom.
12 Jehoiachin, king of Israel, surrendered to the king of Babylon, along with his mother, his officers, his commanders, and his officials. It was in the eighth year of his reign that Nebuchadnezzar captured Jehoiachin.
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 Nebuchadnezzar took all the treasures from the Lord's Temple and the royal palace, and he cut up all the gold items that Solomon, king of Israel, had made for the Lord's Temple, as the Lord had said would happen.
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 He deported all of Jerusalem, all the commanders and experienced soldiers, all the craftsmen and metalworkers, a total of ten thousand prisoners. Only the very poor people of the land were left.
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 He took Jehoiachin away into exile to Babylon, as well as the king's mother and the king's wives and his officials and the leading men of the land, he deported them all 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 The king of Babylon also deported to Babylon all seven thousand fighting men and one thousand craftsmen and metalworkers, who were all strong and ready for battle.
og alle godseigarane: sju tusund, grovsmedar og låssmedar: eit tusund, alle i hop djerve hermenner, deim førde Babel-kongen burt til Babel.
17 The king of Babylon made Mattaniah, Jehoiachin's uncle, king instead of him, 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 when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for eleven years. His mother's name was Hamutal, daughter of Jeremiah She came from 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 He did evil in the Lord's sight, just as Jehoiakim had done.
Han gjorde det som vondt var i Herrens augo, plent som Jojakim.
20 All this happened in Jerusalem and Judah, because of the Lord's anger, until he eventually banished them 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.
