2 Kings 25
1 And it comes to pass, in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth of the month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has come, he and all his force, against Jerusalem, and encamps against it, and builds a surrounding fortification against it.
I hans niende Regeringsaar paa den tiende Dag i den tiende Maaned drog Kong Nebukadnezar af Babel da med hele sin Hær mod Jerusalem og belejrede det, og de byggede Belejringstaarne imod det rundt omkring;
2 And the city enters into siege until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.
og Belejringen varede til Kong Zedekias's ellevte Regeringsaar.
3 On the ninth of the month, when the famine is severe in the city, then there has not been bread for the people of the land.
Paa den niende Dag i den fjerde Maaned blev Hungersnøden haard i Byen, og Folket fra Landet havde ikke Brød.
4 And the city is broken up, and all the men of war [go] by night the way of the gate, between the two walls that [are] by the garden of the king, and the Chaldeans [are] against the city all around, and [the king] goes the way of the plain.
Da blev Byens Mur gennembrudt. Kongen og alle Krigsfolkene flygtede om Natten gennem Porten mellem de to Mure ved Kongens Have, medens Kaldæerne holdt Byen omringet, og han tog Vejen ad Arabalavningen til.
5 And the force of the Chaldeans pursue after the king, and overtake him in the plains of Jericho, and all his force have been scattered from him;
Men Kaldæernes Hær satte efter Kongen og indhentede ham paa Jerikosletten, efter at hele hans Hær var blevet splittet til alle Sider.
6 and they seize the king, and bring him up to the king of Babylon, to Riblah, and they speak judgment with him.
Saa greb de Kongen og bragte ham op til Ribla til Babels Konge, der fældede Dommen over ham.
7 And they have slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and he has blinded the eyes of Zedekiah, and binds him with bronze chains, and they bring him to Babylon.
Hans Sønner lod han henrette i hans Paasyn, og paa Zedekias selv lod han Øjnene stikke ud; derpaa lod han ham lægge i Kobberlænker, og saaledes førte de ham til Babel.
8 And in the fifth month, on the seventh of the month (it [is] the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon), Nebuzaradan chief of the executioners, servant of the king of Babylon, has come to Jerusalem,
Paa den syvende Dag i den femte Maaned, det var Babels Konge Nebukadnezars nittende Regeringsaar, kom Nebuzar'adan, Øversten for Livvagten, Babels Konges Tjener, til Jerusalem.
9 and he burns the house of YHWH, and the house of the king, and all the houses of Jerusalem, indeed, he has burned every great house with fire;
Han satte Ild paa HERRENS Hus og Kongens Palads og alle Husene i Jerusalem; paa alle Stormændenes Huse satte han Ild;
10 and all the forces of the Chaldeans, who [are] with the chief of the executioners, have broken down the walls of Jerusalem all around.
og Murene om Jerusalem nedbrød alle Kaldæernes Folk, som Øversten for Livvagten havde med sig.
11 And the rest of the people, those left in the city, and those falling who have fallen to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude, Nebuzaradan chief of the executioners has removed;
De sidste Folk, som var tilbage i Byen, og Overløberne, der var gaaet over til Babels Konge, og de sidste Haandværkere førte Nebuzar'adan, Øversten for Livvagten, bort.
12 and of the poor of the land the chief of the executioners has left for vinedressers and for farmers.
Men nogle af de fattigste at Folket fra Landet lod Øversten for Livvagten blive tilbage som Vingaardsmænd og Agerdyrkere.
13 And the pillars of bronze that [are] in the house of YHWH, and the bases, and the sea of bronze, that [is] in the house of YHWH, the Chaldeans have broken in pieces, and carry away their bronze to Babylon.
Kobbersøjlerne i HERRENS Hus, Stellene og Kobberhavet i HERRENS Hus slog Kaldæerne i Stykker og førte Kobberet til Babel.
14 And the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the spoons, and all the vessels of bronze with which they minister, they have taken;
Karrene, Skovlene, Knivene, Kanderne og alle Kobbersagerne, som brugtes ved Tjenesten, røvede de;
15 and the fire-pans, and the bowls that [are] wholly of silver, the chief of the executioners has taken.
ogsaa Panderne og Skaalene, alt, hvad der helt var af Guld eller Sølv, røvede Øversten for Livvagten.
16 The two pillars, the one sea, and the bases that Solomon made for the house of YHWH, there was no weighing of the bronze of all these vessels;
De to Søjler, Havet og Stellene, som Salomo havde ladet lave til HERRENS Hus — Kobberet i alle disse Ting var ikke til at veje.
17 eighteen cubits [is] the height of the one pillar, and the capital on it [is] of bronze, and the height of the capital [is] three cubits, and the net and the pomegranates [are] on the capital all around—the whole [is] of bronze; and the second pillar has like these, with the net.
Atten Alen høj var den ene Søjle, og der var et Søjlehoved af Kobber oven paa den, tre Alen højt, og rundt om Søjlehovederne var der Fletværk og Granatæbler, alt af Kobber; og paa samme Maade var det med den anden Søjle.
18 And the chief of the executioners takes Seraiah the head priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold;
Øversten for Livvagten tog Ypperstepræsten Seraja, Andenpræsten Zefanja og de tre Dørvogtere;
19 and he has taken out of the city a certain eunuch who is appointed over the men of war, and five men of those seeing the king’s face who have been found in the city, and the head scribe of the host who musters the people of the land, and sixty men of the people of the land who are found in the city;
og fra Byen tog han en Hofmand, der havde Opsyn med Krigsfolket, og fem Mænd, der hørte til Kongens nærmeste Omgivelser, og som endnu fandtes i Byen, desuden Hærførerens Skriver, der udskrev Folket fra Landet til Krigstjeneste, og dertil tresindstyve Mænd af Folket fra Landet, der fandtes i Byen —
20 and Nebuzaradan chief of the executioners takes them, and causes them to go to the king of Babylon, to Libnah,
dem tog Øversten for Livvagten Nebuzar'adan og førte til Babels Konge i Ribla;
21 and the king of Babylon strikes them, and puts them to death in Riblah, in the land of Hamath, and he removes Judah from off its land.
og Babels Konge lod dem dræbe i Ribla i Hamats Land. Saa førtes Juda i Landflygtighed fra sit Land.
22 And the people that are left in the land of Judah whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has left—he appoints Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, over them.
Over de Folk, der blev tilbage i Judas Land, dem, Babels Konge Nebukadnezar lod blive tilbage, satte han Gedalja, Ahikams Søn, Sjafans Sønnesøn.
23 And all the heads of the forces hear—they and the men—that the king of Babylon has appointed Gedaliah, and they come to Gedaliah, to Mizpah, even Ishmael son of Nethaniah, and Johanan son of Kareah, and Seraiah son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah son of the Maachathite—they and their men;
Da nu alle Hærførerne med deres Folk hørte, at Babels Konge havde indsat Gedalja, kom de til ham i Mizpa, Jisjmael, Netanjas Søn, Johanan, Kareas Søn, Seraja, Tanhumets Søn fra Netofa, og Ja'azanja, Ma'akatitens Søn, tillige med deres Folk.
24 and Gedaliah swears to them and to their men, and says to them, “Do not be afraid of the servants of the Chaldeans, dwell in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and it is good for you.”
Og Gedalja besvor dem og deres Folk og sagde: »Frygt ikke for Kaldæerne! Bliv i Landet og underkast eder Babels Konge, saa vil det gaa eder vel!«
25 And it comes to pass, in the seventh month, Ishmael son of Nathaniah has come, son of Elishama of the seed of the kingdom, and ten men with him, and they strike Gedaliah, and he dies, and the Jews and the Chaldeans who have been with him in Mizpah.
Men i den syvende Maaned kom Jisjmael, Netanjas Søn, Elisjamas Sønnesøn, en Mand af kongelig Byrd, med ti Mænd og slog Gedalja ihjel tillige med de Judæere og Kaldæere, der var hos ham i Mizpa.
26 And all the people rise, from small even to great, and the heads of the forces, and come to Egypt, for they have been afraid of the presence of the Chaldeans.
Da brød hele Folket, store og smaa, og Hærførerne op og drog til Ægypten; thi de frygtede for Kaldæerne.
27 And it comes to pass, in the thirty-seventh year of the expulsion of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh of the month, Evil-Merodach king of Babylon has lifted up, in the year of his reigning, the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, out of the house of restraint,
I det syv og tredivte Aar efter Kong Jojakin af Judas Bortførelse paa den syv og tyvende Dag i den tolvte Maaned tog Babels Konge Evil-Merodak, der i det Aar kom paa Tronen, Kong Jojakin af Juda til Naade og førte ham ud af Fængselet.
28 and speaks good things with him and puts his throne above the throne of the kings who [are] with him in Babylon,
Han talte ham venligt til og gav ham Sæde oven for de Konger, der var hos ham i Babel.
29 and has changed the garments of his restraint, and he has eaten bread continually before him all [the] days of his life,
Jojakin aflagde sin Fangedragt og spiste daglig hos ham, saa længe han levede.
30 and his allowance—a continual allowance—has been given to him from the king, the matter of a day in its day, all [the] days of his life.
Han fik sit daglige Underhold af Kongen, hver Dag hvad han behøvede for den Dag, saa længe han levede.
