2 Chronicles 36
1 And the people of the land took Jehoachaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in his father's stead in Jerusalem.
Folket fra Landet tog nu Josias's Søn Joahaz og hyldede ham til Konge i Jerusalem i hans Faders Sted.
2 Twenty and three years old was Joachaz when he became king, and three months did he reign in Jerusalem.
Joahaz var tre og tyve Aar gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede tre Maaneder i Jerusalem.
3 And the king of Egypt deposed him at Jerusalem, and imposed a fine on the land of a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
Men Ægypterkongen afsatte ham fra Regeringen i Jerusalem og lagde en Skat af hundrede Talenter Sølv og ti Talenter Guld paa Landet.
4 And the king of Egypt made Elyakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoyakim. And Joachaz his brother did Necho take away, and bring him to Egypt.
Derpaa gjorde Ægypterkongen hans Broder Eljakim til Konge over Juda og Jerusalem, og han ændrede hans Navn til Jojakim; hans Broder Joahaz derimod tog Neko med til Ægypten.
5 Twenty and five years old was Jehoyakim when he became king, and eleven years did he reign in Jerusalem: and he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord his God.
Jojakim var fem og tyve Aar gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede elleve Aar i Jerusalem. Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERREN hans Guds Øjne.
6 Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and he bound him with fetters, to carry him away to Babylon.
Kong Nebukadnezar af Babel drog op imod ham og lagde ham i Kobberlænker for at føre ham til Babel;
7 And some of the vessels of the house of the Lord did Nebuchadnezzar carry to Babylon, and he placed them in his temple at Babylon.
og Nebukadnezar lod en Del af HERRENS Hus's Kar bringe til Babel og opstillede dem i sin Borg i Babel.
8 And the rest of the acts of Jehoyakim, and his abominable deeds which he did, and that which was found concerning him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. And Jehoyachin his son became king in his stead.
Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Jojakim og de Vederstyggeligheder, han øvede, hvad der er at sige om ham, staar optegnet i Bogen om Israels og Judas Konger. Og hans Søn Jojakin blev Konge i hans Sted.
9 Eight years old was Jehoyachin when he became king, and three months and ten days did he reign in Jerusalem: and he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord.
Jojakin var atten Aar gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede tre Maaneder og ti Dage i Jerusalem. Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENS Øjne.
10 And with the expiration of the year did king Nebuchadnezzar send and had him brought to Babylon, with the costly vessels of the house of the Lord: and he made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem,
Næste Aar sendte Kong Nebukadnezar Folk og lod ham bringe til Babel tillige med HERRENS Hus's kostelige Kar; og han gjorde hans Broder Zedekias til Konge over Juda og Jerusalem.
11 Twenty and one years old was Zedekiah when he became king, and eleven years did he reign in Jerusalem.
Zedekias var een og tyve Aar gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede i elleve Aar i Jerusalem.
12 And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord his God: he humbled himself not before Jeremiah the prophet, according to the order of the Lord.
Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERREN hans Guds Øjne. Han ydmygede sig ikke under de Ord, Profeten Jeremias talte fra HERRENS Mund.
13 And also against king Nebuchadnezzar did he rebel, who had made him swear by God; but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart so as not to return unto the Lord the God of Israel.
Desuden faldt han fra Kong Nebukadnezar, der havde taget ham i Ed ved Gud; og han var halsstarrig og forhærdede sit Hjerte, saa han ikke omvendte sig til HERREN, Israels Gud.
14 Also all the chiefs of the priests and the people committed manifold trespasses, like all the abominable acts of the [foreign] nations: and they defiled the house of the Lord which he had hallowed in Jerusalem.
Ligeledes gjorde alle Judas Øverster og Præsterne og Folket sig skyldige i megen Troløshed ved at efterligne alle Hedningefolkenes Vederstyggeligheder, og de besmittede HERRENS Hus, som han havde helliget i Jerusalem.
15 And the Lord the God of their fathers sent to them by means of his messengers, making [them] rise early, and sending [them]: because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling-place;
HERREN, deres Fædres Gud, sendte tidlig og silde manende Ord til dem ved sine Sendebud, fordi han ynkedes over sit Folk og sin Bolig;
16 But they mocked at the messengers of God, and despised his words, and scorned his prophets, until the fury of the Lord arose against his people, till there was no remedy.
men de spottede Guds Sendebud, lod haant om hans Ord og gjorde sig lystige over hans Profeter, indtil HERRENS Vrede mod hans Folk tog til i den Grad, at der ikke mere var Lægedom.
17 And he brought over them the king of the Chaldeans, who slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or virgin, the old man, and the aged: all did he give up into his hand.
Han førte Kaldæernes Konge imod dem, og han dræbte deres unge Mandskab med Sværdet i deres hellige Tempel og ynkedes ikke over Yngling eller Jomfru, gammel eller Olding — alt overgav han i hans Haand.
18 And all the vessels of the house of God, the great and the small, and the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king and of his princes, —all these did he carry to Babylon.
Alle Karrene i Guds Hus, store og smaa, HERRENS Hus's Skatte og Kongens og hans Øverstes Skatte lod han alt sammen bringe til Babel.
19 And they burnt the house of God, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem, and all her palaces they burnt with fire, and all her costly vessels they gave up to destruction.
De stak Ild paa Guds Hus, nedrev Jerusalems Mur, opbrændte alle dets Borge og ødelagde alle kostelige Ting deri.
20 And those that had escaped from the sword did he carry into exile to Babylon: and they were servants to him and to his sons until the kingdom of Persia came to the government:
Dem, Sværdet levnede, førte han som Fanger til Babel, hvor de blev Trælle for ham og hans Sønner, indtil Perserriget fik Magten,
21 To fulfill the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had satisfied its sabbaths: all the days of its desolation it rested, till seventy years were completed.
for at HERRENS Ord gennem Jeremias's Mund kunde opfyldes, indtil Landet fik sine Sabbater godtgjort; saa længe Ødelæggelsen varede, hvilede det, til der var gaaet halvfjerdsindstyve Aar.
22 And in the first year of Cyrus the king of Persia, at the completion of the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah, did the Lord stir up the spirit of Cyrus the king of Persia, so that he caused a proclamation to be made throughout all his kingdom, and also by means of writing, saying,
Men i Perserkongen Kyros's første Regeringsaar vakte HERREN, for at hans Ord gennem Jeremias's Mund kunde opfyldes, Perserkongen Kyros's Aand, saa han lod følgende udraabe i hele sit Rige og desuden kundgøre ved en Skrivelse:
23 Thus hath said Cyrus the king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth hath the Lord the God of heaven given me, and he hath charged me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever there is among you of all his people, may the Lord his God be with him, and let him go up.
»Perserkongen Kyros gør vitterligt: Alle Jordens Riger har HERREN, Himmelens Gud, givet mig; og han har paalagt mig at bygge ham et Hus i Jerusalem i Juda. Hvem iblandt eder, der hører til hans Folk, med ham være HERREN hans Gud, og han drage derop!«
