2 Kings 25
1 And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon came, he, and all his host, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it; and they built a mound all around about it.
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 put in a state of siege until the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
Byen vart kringsett til Sidkias ellevte styringsår.
3 And on the ninth of the month, when 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 The city was broken into, and all the men of war [fled] in the night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king's garden; [while the Chaldeans were all round about the city; ] and the people 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 Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all his army were scattered from around him.
Men kaldæarheren forfylgde kongen og nådde honom att på Moarne ved Jeriko. Alt herfolket sprang frå honom og spreiddest.
6 And they seized the king, and brought him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they called him to account.
Dei fanga då kongen og førde honom upp til Ribla til Babel-kongen. Der fekk han sin dom.
7 And they slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and he blinded 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 was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, came Nebusaradan, the chief 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 the Lord, and the king's house; also, 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 the walls of Jerusalem round about did all the army of the Chaldeans that were with the captain of the guard tear down.
Og murarne ikring Jerusalem vart nedrivne av heile den kaldæarheren som livvakthovdingen hadde med seg.
11 And the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the deserters that had run over to the king of Babylon, with the remnant of the multitude, did Nebusaradan the captain of the guard lead away into exile;
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 from the poorest of the land the captain of the guard left some to be vine-dressers and husbandmen.
Nokre av fatigfolket i landet let han vera att til å arbeida i vinhagarne og på åkrarne.
13 And the pillars of copper that were in the house of the Lord, and the bases, and the copper sea that was in the house of the Lord, did the Chaldeans break up, and they carried the copper thereof 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 knives, and the spoons, and all the vessels of copper 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 censers, and the bowls, the gold of the golden things, and the silver of the silver things, took the captain of the guard away.
Livvakthovdingen tok og glodpannorne og blodbollarne, og alt som var av skirt gull og av skirt sylv.
16 The two pillars, the one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made for the house of the Lord: the copper of all these vessels was too much to be weighed.
Tvo sulor og eit hav og fotstykki som Salomo hadde laga åt Herrens hus - koparen i alle desse gognerne var ikkje vegande.
17 Eighteen cubits was the height of the one pillar, and the capital upon it was copper; and the height of the capital was three cubits; and the wreathed work, and the pomegranates upon the capitals round about, were all of copper: and the same had the second pillar together with the wreathed 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 Serayah the chief-priest, and Zephanyahu the second priest, and the three door-keepers;
Livvakthovdingen tok øvstepresten Seraja og næst-øvste presten Sefanja og dei tri dørstokkvaktarane,
19 And out of the city he took one court-officer that was appointed over the men of war, and five men of those that could come into the king's presence, who were found in the city, and the scribe of the chief of the army, who ordered to the army the people of the land, and sixty 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 Nebusaradan the captain of the guard took these, and conducted 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 put them to death at Riblah in the land of Chamath. So did Judah wander away into exile 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 were left in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had left, he appointed over them Gedalyahu the son of Achikam, the son of Shaphan.
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 appointed Gedalyahu, they came to Gedalyahu to Mizpah; even Ishma'el the son of Nethanyah, and Jochanan the son of Kareach, and Serayah the son of Tanchumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazanyahu the son of a Ma'achathite, 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 Gedalyahu swore to them, and to their men, and said unto them, Be not afraid of the servants of the Chaldeans: remain in the land, and serve the king of Babylon; and it will 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 happened in the seventh month, that there came Ishma'el the son of Nethanyah, the son of Elishama', of the seed royal, and ten men with him, and they smote Gedalyahu, so that he died, also the Jews and the Chaldeans 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 then arose all the people, from small to great, and the captains of the armies, and went to Egypt; for they were afraid of the Chaldeans.
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 Jehoyachin the king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the seven and twentieth [day] of the month, that Evil-merodach the king of Babylon in the year that he became king did lift up the head of Jehoyachin the king of Judah out of the 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 spoke kindly to him, and set his chair above the chair 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 ate 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 by the king, the necessary ration for the day on its 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.
