2 Kings 24
1 In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became 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 the LORD sent against him bands of the Chaldees, and bands of the Syrians, and bands of the Moabites, and bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by 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 Surely at the commandment of the LORD came [this] upon Judah, to remove [them] out of his sight, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did;
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 for the innocent blood that he shed: for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; which the LORD 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 Now 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 So 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 from the river of Egypt unto the river Euphrates all that pertained to the king of Egypt.
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 in Jerusalem three months. And his mother’s name [was] Nehushta, the 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 [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD, 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, and his servants did besiege it.
Og Nebukadnezar, Kongen af Babel, kom til Staden, og hans Tjenere belejrede den.
12 And Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his princes, and his officers: 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 carried out thence all the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king’s house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold which Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of the LORD, as the LORD 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, [even] ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and smiths: none remained, save 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 officers, and the mighty of the land, [those] carried he 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 might, [even] seven thousand, and craftsmen and smiths a thousand, all [that were] strong [and] apt for war, even them the king of Babylon brought 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 father’s brother 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 and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name [was] Hamutal, the 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 [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD, 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 through the anger of the LORD it came to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence, that 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.
