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 pitched against it; and they built forts against it round about.
I det niande styringsåret hans, tiande dagen i tiande månaden, kom Nebukadnessar, Babel-kongen, med heile heren sin til Jerusalem, lægra seg utanfor byen og bygde skansar rundt ikring honom.
2 And the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
Byen vart kringsett til Sidkias ellevte styringsår.
3 And on the ninth day of the fourth month the famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land.
Den niande dagen i månaden røynde svolten hardt på i byen, og landsfolket hadde inkje mat.
4 And the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between two walls, which is by the king’s garden: ( now the Chaldees were against the city round about: ) and the king went the way toward the plain.
Då vart byen teken. Og alt stridsfolket rømde um natti gjenom porten i dubbelmuren ved kongshagen, medan kaldæarane låg rundt ikring byen. Dei tok leidi til Moarne.
5 And the army of the Chaldees pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all his army were scattered from him.
Men kaldæarheren forfylgde kongen og nådde honom att på Moarne ved Jeriko. Alt herfolket sprang frå honom og spreiddest.
6 So they took the king, and brought him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they gave judgment upon him.
Dei fanga då kongen og førde honom upp til Ribla til Babel-kongen. Der fekk han sin dom.
7 And they slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with fetters of brass, and carried him to Babylon.
Sønerne åt Sidkia drap dei medan han såg på det; so stakk han ut augo på Sidkia, batt honom med koparlekkjor og førde honom til Babel.
8 And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which is the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzar–adan, captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem:
Sjuande dagen i den femte månaden i det nittande styringsåret åt Nebukadnessar, Babel-kongen, kom ein av tenarane åt Babel-kongen, livvakthovdingen Nebuzaradan, til Jerusalem.
9 And he burnt the house of Yhwh, and the king’s house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great man’s house burnt he with fire.
Han brende upp Herrens hus og kongsgarden. Ja, alle husi i Jerusalem, serleg alle storfolk-hus, sette han eld på.
10 And all the army of the Chaldees, that were with the captain of the guard, brake down the walls of Jerusalem round about.
Og murarne ikring Jerusalem vart nedrivne av heile den kaldæarheren som livvakthovdingen hadde med seg.
11 Now the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the fugitives that fell away to the king of Babylon, with the remnant of the multitude, did Nebuzar–adan the captain of the guard carry away.
Resten av folket som var att i byen, og svikararne som hadde gjenge yver til Babel-kongen, og resten av ålmugen, vart burtførd av Nebuzaradan, livvakthovdingen.
12 But the captain of the guard left of the poor of the land to be vinedressers and husbandmen.
Nokre av fatigfolket i landet let han vera att til å arbeida i vinhagarne og på åkrarne.
13 And the pillars of brass that were in the house of Yhwh, and the bases, and the brasen sea that was in the house of Yhwh, did the Chaldees break in pieces, and carried the brass of them to Babylon.
Koparsulorne i Herrens hus, fotstykki og koparhavet i Herrens hus, braut kaldæarane sund, og tok koparen med seg til Babel.
14 And the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they away.
Og dei tok oskefati og eldskuflerne og ljossakserne og skålerne og alle kopargogner som dei hadde til gudstenesta.
15 And the firepans, and the bowls, and such things as were of gold, in gold, and of silver, in silver, the captain of the guard took away.
Livvakthovdingen tok og glodpannorne og blodbollarne, og alt som var av skirt gull og av skirt sylv.
16 The two pillars, one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made for the house of Yhwh; the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
Tvo sulor og eit hav og fotstykki som Salomo hadde laga åt Herrens hus - koparen i alle desse gognerne var ikkje vegande.
17 The height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, and the chapiter upon it was brass: and the height of the chapiter three cubits; and the wreathen work, and pomegranates upon the chapiter round about, all of brass: and like unto these had the second pillar with wreathen work.
Den eine sula var attan alner høg, og ovanpå den var det eit koparhovud, og hovudet var tri alner høgt; rundt ikring hovudet var det eit net og granateple, alt av kopar; og sameleis var det med netet på den andre sula.
18 And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door:
Livvakthovdingen tok øvstepresten Seraja og næst-øvste presten Sefanja og dei tri dørstokkvaktarane,
19 And out of the city he took an officer that was set over the men of war, and five men of them that were in the king’s presence, which were found in the city, and the principal scribe of the army, which mustered the people of the land, and threescore men of the people of the land that were found in the city:
og frå byen tok han ein hirdmann som uppsynsmann yver herfolket, og fem som han råka på i byen av næmaste lagsfolket hjå kongen, dessutan skrivaren åt herhovdingen, han som skreiv ut landsfolket til hertenesta, og seksti andre landsfolk han råka på i byen.
20 And Nebuzar–adan captain of the guard took these, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah:
Alle desse tok livvakthovdingen Nebuzaradan med seg til Ribla til Babel-kongen.
21 And the king of Babylon smote them, and slew them at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away out of their land.
Og Babel-kongen slo deim i hel der i Ribla i Hamatlandet. Soleis vart Juda burtført frå landet sitt.
22 And as for the people that remained 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, ruler.
Babel-kongen Nebukadnessar sette Gedalja, son åt Ahikam Safansson, til jarl yver det folket som var att i Judalandet, dei som han let vera att.
23 And when all the captains of the armies, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, there came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan the son of Careah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of a Maachathite, they and their men.
Då alle herhovdingarne og hermennerne deira fekk greida på at Babel-kongen hadde sett inn Gedalja, kom dei til Gedalja i Mispa: Ismael Netanjason, og Johanan Kareahsson og Seraja Tanhumetson frå Netofa og Ja’asanja, son åt ein mann frå Ma’aka, dei og mennerne deira.
24 And Gedaliah sware to them, and to their men, and said unto them, Fear not to be the servants of the Chaldees: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon; and it shall be well with you.
Gedalja gjorde eid til deim og hermennerne deira, og sagde med deim: «Ver ikkje rædde for kaldæartenarane! Set bu i landet, og gjev dykk under Babel-kongen, so vil det ganga dykk vel.»
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 Chaldees that were with him at Mizpah.
Men i den sjuande månaden kom Ismael, son åt Netanja Elisamason, ein mann av kongsætti, med ti mann og slo i hel Gedalja og dei jødar og kaldæarar som var hjå honom i Mispa.
26 And all the people, both small and great, and the captains of the armies, arose, and came to Egypt: for they were afraid of the Chaldees.
So tok herhovdingarne og heile folket, unge og gamle, og gav seg på veg ut til Egyptarland; dei var rædde for kaldæarane.
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;
I det sju og trettiande året etter Juda-kongen Jojakin var burtførd, sju og tjugande dagen i tolvte månaden, gav Evil-Merodak, Babel-kongen - same året som han vart konge - Jojakin, Juda-kongen, uppreisnad og fria honom or fangehuset.
28 And he spake kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon;
Han helsa honom venleg med han og gav honom fremste sessen millom dei kongarne som var hjå honom i Babel.
29 And changed his prison garments: and he did eat bread continually before him all the days of his life.
Han fekk leggja av seg fangebunaden, og gjekk kvar dag til kongens bord, so lenge han livde.
30 And his allowance was a continual allowance given him of the king, a daily rate for every day, all the days of his life.
Kost og tæring naut han dagvisst på kongens kostnad, til kvar dag det han trong for dagen, heile si livetid.
