2 Kings 25
1 And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it; and they built forts against it round about.
Och det begaf sig i nionde årena af hans rike, på tionde dagen i tionde månadenom, kom NebucadNezar, Konungen i Babel, med all sin magt för Jerusalem, och de lägrade sig der före, och byggde skansar allt omkring.
2 So the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
Alltså vardt staden belagd, allt intill ellofte året af Konung Zedekia rike.
3 On the ninth day of the fourth month the famine was sore in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.
Men i nionde månadenom vardt hungren stark i stadenom, så att folket i landena hade intet äta.
4 Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king's garden — now the Chaldeans were against the city round about — and the king went by the way of the Arabah.
Då föll man in i staden, och alle krigsmän flydde om nattena, den vägen ifrå porten, som går emellan de två murar åt Konungsträgården. Och de Chaldeer lågo omkring staden. Och han flydde den vägen åt hedmarkena.
5 But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.
Men de Chaldeers magt jagade efter Konungen, och grepo honom på hedmarkene vid Jericho. Och alle krigsmännerna, som när honom voro, vordo förskingrade ifrå honom.
6 Then they took the king, and carried him up unto the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they gave judgment upon him.
Men Konungen grepo de, och förde honom upp till Konungen af Babel till Riblath; och de sade en dom öfver honom.
7 And they slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him in fetters, and carried him to Babylon.
Och de slogo Zedekia barn ihjäl för hans ögon, och stungo Zedekia hans ögon ut, och bundo honom med kedjor, och förde honom till Babel.
8 Now in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem.
På sjunde dagen i femte månadenom, det är nittonde året NebucadNezars, Konungens i Babel, kom NebusarAdan hofmästaren, Konungens tjenare i Babel, till Jerusalem;
9 And he burnt the house of the LORD, and the king's house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great man's house, burnt he with fire.
Och uppbrände Herrans hus, och Konungshuset, och all hus i Jerusalem, och all stor hus brände han upp med eld.
10 And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were with the captain of the guard, broke down the walls of Jerusalem round about.
Och hela de Chaldeers magt, som med hofmästarenom var, bröt omkull murarna, som omkring Jerusalem voro.
11 And the residue of the people that were left in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to the king of Babylon, and the residue of the multitude, did Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carry away captive.
Men det andra folket, som qvart var i stadenom, och de som till Konungen af Babel fallne voro, och det andra meniga folket, förde NebusarAdan hofmästaren bort.
12 But the captain of the guard left of the poorest of the land to be vinedressers and husbandmen.
Och af de ringesta i landena lät hofmästaren blifva till vingårdsmän, och åkermän.
13 And the pillars of brass that were in the house of the LORD, and the bases and the brazen sea that were in the house of the LORD, did the Chaldeans break in pieces, and carried the brass of them to Babylon.
Men de kopparstodar i Herrans hus, och stolarna, och kopparhafvet, som i Herrans hus var, slogo de Chaldeer sönder, och förde kopparen till Babel.
14 And the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the pans, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they away.
Och grytor, skoflar, knifvar, skedar, och all kopparkärile, dermed man tjente, togo de bort.
15 And the fire-pans, and the basins, that which was of gold, in gold, and that which was of silver, in silver, the captain of the guard took away.
Dertill tog hofmästaren pannor och bäcken, hvad af guld och silfver var;
16 The two pillars, the one sea, and the bases, which Solomon had made for the house of the LORD; the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
Två stodar, ett haf, och de stolar, som Salomo hade göra låtit till Herrans hus; kopparen af all denna tygen stod icke till vägandes.
17 The height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, and a capital of brass was upon it; and the height of the capital was three cubits; with network and pomegranates upon the capital round about, all of brass; and like unto these had the second pillar with network.
Aderton alnar hög var en stoden, och knappen derpå var ock af koppar, och tre alnar hög; och gjordarne, och granatäplen allt omkring knappen, var ock allt af koppar; vid samma sättet var ock den andre stoden med gjordar.
18 And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door;
Och hofmästaren tog Presten Seraja af första skiftet, och Presten Zephania af det andra skiftet, och tre dörravaktare,
19 and out of the city he took an officer that was set over the men of war; and five men of them that saw the king's face, who were found in the city; and the scribe of the captain of the host, who mustered the people of the land; and threescore men of the people of the land, that were found in the city.
Och en kamerer utu stadenom, som öfver krigsmännerna satt var, och fem män, som allstädes hade ståndit för Konungenom, och i stadenom funne voro, och Sopher, härhöfvitsmannen, som folket i landena strida lärde, och sextio män af landsfolkena, som i stadenom funne voro.
20 And Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.
Dessa tog NebusarAdan hofmästaren, och förde dem till Konungen af Babel till Riblath.
21 And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away captive out of his land.
Och Konungen i Babel slog dem ihjäl i Riblath, i de landena Hamath. Alltså vardt Juda bortförd utu sitt land.
22 And as for the people that were left in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, even over them he made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, governor.
Men öfver det folk, som qvart blef i Juda land, som NebucadNezar, Konungen i Babel, qvart blifva lät, satte han Gedalja, Ahikams son, Saphans sons.
23 Now when all the captains of the forces, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite and Jaazaniah the son of the Maacathite, they and their men.
Då nu allt krigsfolkets höfvitsmän och männerna hörde, att Konungen af Babel hade uppsatt Gedalja, kommo de till Gedalja i Mizpa, nämliga Ismael, Nethania son, och Johanan, Kareahs son, och Seraja, Thanhumeths son, den Netophathiten, och Jaesania, Maachati son, samt med deras män.
24 And Gedaliah swore to them and to their men, and said unto them: 'Fear not because of the servants of the Chaldeans; dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.'
Och Gedalja svor dem, och deras män, och sade till dem: Frukter eder intet att vara de Chaldeers underdånar; blifver i landena, och varer Konungenom af Babel underdånige, så går eder väl.
25 But it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, came, and ten men with him, and smote Gedaliah, that he died, and the Jews and the Chaldeans that were with him at Mizpah.
Men i sjunde månadenom kom Ismael, Nethania son, Elisama sons, utaf Konungsliga slägt, och tio män med honom, och slogo Gedalja ihjäl; dertill de Judar och Chaldeer, som med honom voro i Mizpa.
26 And all the people, both small and great, and the captains of the forces, arose, and came to Egypt; for they were afraid of the Chaldeans.
Då reste sig upp allt folket, både små och store, och krigsöverstarna, och kommo in uti Egypten; förty de fruktade sig för de Chaldeer.
27 And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, that Evil-merodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, did lift up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison.
Uti sjunde och tretionde årena, sedan Jojachin, Juda Konung, bortförd var, på sjunde och tjugonde dagen i tolfte månadenom, hof EvilMerodach, Konungen i Babel, uti första årena af sitt rike, Jojachins, Juda Konungs, hufvud upp utu fängslehuset;
28 And he spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon.
Och talade vänliga med honom, och satte hans stol utöfver de Konungars stolar, som när honom voro i Babel;
29 And he changed his prison garments, and did eat bread before him continually all the days of his life.
Och förvandlade hans fängelsekläder; och han åt alltid inför honom i alla sina lifsdagar;
30 And for his allowance, there was a continual allowance given him of the king, every day a portion, all the days of his life.
Och satte honom före hans del, den man honom alltid gifva skulle af Konungenom, hvar dag, så länge han lefde.
