2 Kings 25
1 And it came to pass, in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came—he and all his force, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it, —and they built against it a siege wall, round about.
I hans niende Regeringsår på den tiende Dag i den tiende Måned drog Kong Nebukadnezar af Babel da med hele sin Hær mod Jerusalem og belejrede det, og de byggede Belejringstårne imod det rundt omkring;
2 And the city came into the siege, —until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.
og Belejringen varede til Kong Zedekias's ellevte Regeringsår.
3 On the ninth of the month, when the famine had become severe in the city, —and there had come to be no bread for the people of the land,
På den niende Dag i den fjerde Måned blev Hungersnøden hård i Byen, og Folket fra Landet havde ikke Brød.
4 then was the city broken up, and all the men of war [fled] by night by way of the gate between the two walls, which is by the garden of the king, the Chaldeans being near the city round about, —and he went the way of the Waste 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, pursued, the king, and overtook him in the Waste Plains of Jericho, —and, all his force, was scattered from him.
Men Kaldæernes Hær satte efter Kongen og indhentede ham på Jerikosletten, efter at hele hans Hær var blevet splittet til alle Sider.
6 So they seized the king, and brought him up unto the king of Babylon, at Riblah, —and they pronounced upon him sentence of judgment.
Så greb de Kongen og bragte ham op til Ribla til Babels Konge, der fældede Dommen over ham.
7 And, the sons of Zedekiah, they slew before his eyes, —and, the eyes of Zedekiah, put they out, and then bound him with fetters of bronze, and brought him into Babylon.
Hans Sønner lod han henrette i hans Påsyn, og på Zedekias selv lod han Øjnene stikke ud; derpå lod han ham lægge i Kobberlænker, og således førte de ham til Babel.
8 And, in the fifth month, on the seventh of the month, the same, was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, chief of the royal executioners, servant of the king of Babylon, to Jerusalem;
På den syvende Dag i den femte Måned, det var Babels Konge Nebukadnezars nittende Regeringsår, kom Nebuzaradan, Øversten for Livvagten, Babels Konges Tjener, til Jerusalem.
9 and burned the house of Yahweh, and the house of the king, —yea, all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great man’s house, burned he with fire.
Han satte Ild på HERRENs Hus og Kongens Palads og alle Husene i Jerusalem; på alle Stormændenes Huse satte han Ild;
10 And, the walls of Jerusalem round about, did all the force of the Chaldeans who were with the chief of the royal executioners, break down.
og Murene om Jerusalem nedbrød alle Kaldæernes Folk, som Øversten for Livvagten havde med sig.
11 And, the residue of the people who were left in the city, and the disheartened who fell away unto the king of Babylon, and the residue of the multitude, did Nebuzaradan, chief of the royal executioners, carry away captive.
De sidste Folk, som var tilbage i Byen, og Overløberne, der var gået over til Babels Konge, og, de sidste Håndværkere førte Nebuzaradan, Øversten for Livvagten, bort.
12 But, of the poorest of the land, did the chief of the royal executioners, leave, for vine-dressers and for husbandmen.
Men nogle af de fattigste at Folket fra Landet lod Øversten for Livvagten blive tilbage som Vingårdsmænd og Agerdyrkere.
13 And, the pillars of bronze that were in the house of Yahweh, and the stands, and the sea of bronze which was in the house of Yahweh, the Chaldeans brake in pieces, and they carried away the bronze of them to Babylon;
Kobbersøjlerne i HERRENs Hus, Stellene og Kobberhavet i HERRENs Hus slog Kaldæerne i Stykker og førte Kobberet til Babel.
14 and, the caldrons, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the spoons, even all the utensils of bronze wherewith ministration used to be made, did they take away;
Karrene, Skovlene, Hnivene, Kanderne og alle Kobbersagerne, som brugtes ved Tjenesten, røvede de;
15 and, the sprinkling pans and the dashing bowls which were of gold, in gold, and which were of silver, in silver, did, the chief of the royal executions, take away.
også Panderne og Skålene, alt, hvad der helt var af Guld eller Sølv, røvede Øversten for Livvagten.
16 As for the two pillars the one sea and the stands which Solomon made for the house of Yahweh, without weight, was the bronze of all these things.
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, was the height of each pillar, and, the capital thereupon was of bronze, and, the height of the capital, was three cubits, and, the lattice-work and pomegranates upon the capital round about, the whole, was of bronze; and, like these, had the second pillar, upon the lattice-work.
Atten Alen høj var den ene Søjle, og der var et Søjlehoved af Kobber oven på den, tre Alen højt, og rundt om Søjlehovederne var der Fletværk og Granatæbler, alt af Kobber; og på samme Måde var det med den anden Søjle.
18 And the chief of the royal executioners took Seraiah the head priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, —and the three keepers of the entrance hall;
Øversten for Livvagten tog Ypperstepræsten Seraja, Andenpræsten Zefanja og de tre Dørvogtere;
19 and, out of the city, took he one courtier who himself was set over the men of war, and five men of them who were wont to see the face of the king, who were found in the city, and the scribe—general of the army, who used to muster the people of the land, —and sixty men of the people of the land, who were found in the city;
og fra Byen tog han en Hofmand, der havde Opsyn med Krigs folket, 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 royal executioners, took them, —and brought them unto the king of Babylon, at Riblah;
dem tog Øversten for Livvagten Nebuzaradan og førte til Babels Konge i Ribla;
21 and the king of Babylon smote them and slew them in Riblah, in the land of Hamath, —and thus Judah disappeared from off their own soil.
og Babels Konge lod dem dræbe i Ribla i Hamats Land. Så førtes Juda i Landflygtighed fra sit Land.
22 But, as for the people who were left in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon left remaining, he set over them Gedaliah, son of Ahikam son of Shaphan.
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, when all the generals of the forces, they and the men, heard that the king of Babylon had given oversight unto Gedaliah, then came they in unto Gedaliah, at Mizpah, —even Ishmael son of Nethaniah, and Johanan son of Kareah, and Seraiah son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah son of a Maacathite, 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, Bareas Søn, Seraja, Tanhumets Søn fra Netofa, og Ja'azanja, Ma'akatitens Søn, tillige med deres Folk.
24 And Gedaliah sware unto them, and to their men, and said to them, Do not fear because of the servants of the Chaldeans, —dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.
Og Gedalja besvor dem og deres Folk og sagde: "Frygt ikke for Kaldæerne! Bliv i Landet og underkast eder Babels Konge, så vil det gå eder vel!"
25 And it came to pass, in the seventh month, that Ishmael son of Nethaniah a son of Elishama, of the seed royal, came, and ten men with him, and smote Gedaliah, that he died, —and the Jews and the Chaldeans who were with him at Mizpah.
Men i den syvende Måned kom Jisjmael, Netanjas Søn, Elisjamas Sønnesøo, 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 Then arose all the people, both small and great, and the generals of the forces, and came into Egypt, —for they were afraid of the Chaldeans.
Da brød hele Folket, store og små, og Hærførerne op og drog til Ægypten; thi de frygtede for Kaldæerne.
27 And it came to pass, in the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh 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 syv og tredivte År efter Kong Jojakin af Judas Bortførelse på den syv og tyvende Dag i den tolvte Måned tog Babels Konge Evil-Merodak, der i det År kom på Tronen, Kong Jojakin af Juda til Nåde og førte ham ud af Fængselet.
28 and he spake with him kind words, —and set his throne above the throne of the kings who were 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 changed his prison garments, —and he did eat bread continually before him, all the days of his life.
Jojakin aflagde sin Fangedragt og spiste daglig hos ham, så længe han levede.
30 And, as his allowance, a continual portion, was given him, from the king, the provision of a day upon its own day, —all the days of his life.
Han fik sit daglige Underhold af Kongen, hver Dag hvad han behøvede for den Dag, så længe han levede.
