Jeremiah 52
1 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign; he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Hamutal; she was the daughter of Jeremiah from Libnah.
Zedekias var een og tyve Aar gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede elleve Aar i Jerusalem. Hans Moder hed Hamital og var en Datter af Jirmeja fra Libna.
2 He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh; he did everything that Jehoiakim had done.
Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENS Øjne, ganske som Jojakim.
3 Through Yahweh's anger, all these events happened in Jerusalem and Judah, until he drove them from before himself. Then Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
Thi for HERRENS Vredes Skyld kom dette over Jerusalem og Juda, og til sidst stødte han dem bort fra sit Aasyn. Og Zedekias faldt fra Babels Konge.
4 It happened that in the ninth year of the reign of King Zedekiah, in the tenth month, and on the tenth day of the month, Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came with all his army against Jerusalem. They camped opposite it, and they built a siege wall around it.
I hans niende Regeringsaar paa den tiende Dag i den tiende Maaned drog Kong Nebukadrezar af Babel da med hele sin Hær mod Jerusalem, og de belejrede det og byggede Belejringstaarne imod det rundt omkring;
5 So the city was besieged until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah's reign.
og Belejringen varede til Kong Zedekias's ellevte Regeringsaar.
6 By the ninth day of the fourth month the famine was so severe in the city that there was no food 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. Da blev Byens Mur gennembrudt.
7 Then the city was broken into, and all the fighting men fled and went out of the city at night by the way of the gate that was between the two walls, by the king's garden, although the Chaldeans were all around the city. So they went in the direction of the Arabah.
Alle Krigsfolkene flygtede om Natten ud af Byen gennem Porten mellem de to Mure ved Kongens Have, medens Kaldæerne holdt Byen omringet, og de tog Vejen ad Arabalavningen til.
8 But the army of Chaldeans pursued the king and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of the Jordan River valley near Jericho. All his army was scattered away from him.
Men Kaldæernes Hær satte efter Kongen og indhentede ham paa Jerikosletten, efter at hele hans Hær var blevet splittet til alle Sider.
9 They captured the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he passed sentence on him.
Saa greb de Kongen og bragte ham op til Ribla i Hamats Land til Babels Konge, der fældede Dommen over ham.
10 The king of Babylon slaughtered Zedekiah's sons before his own eyes, and at Riblah he also slaughtered all the leaders of Judah.
Hans Sønner lod han henrette i hans Paasyn, ligeledes lod han alle Judas Øverster henrette i Ribla;
11 Then he put out Zedekiah's eyes, bound him in bronze chains, and brought him to Babylon. The king of Babylon put him in prison until the day of his death.
og paa Zedekias selv lod Babels Konge Øjnene stikke ud; derpaa lod han ham lægge i Kobberlænker, og saaledes førte han ham til Babel; og han lod ham kaste i Fængsel, hvor han blev til sin Dødedag.
12 Now in the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of the reign of King Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan came to Jerusalem. He was the commander of the king's bodyguards and a servant of the king of Babylon.
Paa den tiende Dag i den femte Maaned, det var Babels Konge Nebukadrezars nittende Regeringsaar, kom Nebuzar'adan, Øversten for Livvagten, Babels Konges Tjener, til Jerusalem.
13 He burned the house of Yahweh, the king's palace, and all the houses of Jerusalem; also every important building in the city he burned.
Han satte Ild paa HERRENS Hus og Kongens Palads og alle Husene i Jerusalem; paa alle Stormændenes Huse satte han Ild;
14 As for the walls around Jerusalem, all the army of the Babylonians who were with the commander of the bodyguards destroyed them.
og Murene om Jerusalem nedbrød hele Kaldæernes Hær, som Øversten for Livvagten havde med sig.
15 As for the poorest people, the rest of the people who were left in the city, those who had deserted to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the craftsmen— Nebuzaradan, the commander of the bodyguards, took some of them away into exile.
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.
16 But Nebuzaradan, the commander of the bodyguards, left some of the poorest of the land to work the vineyards and fields.
Men nogle af de fattigste af Folket fra Landet lod Nebuzar'adan, Øversten for Livvagten, blive tilbage som Vingaardsmænd og Agerdyrkere,
17 As for the bronze pillars that belonged to the house of Yahweh, and the stands, and the large bronze basin called “The Sea” that were in the house of Yahweh, the Chaldeans broke them into pieces and carried all the bronze back to Babylon.
Kobbersøjlerne i HERRENS Hus, Stellene og Kobberhavet i HERRENS Hus slog Kaldæerne i Stykker og førte Kobberet til Babel.
18 The pots, shovels, lamp trimmers, bowls, and all the utensils of bronze with which the priests had served in the temple—the Chaldeans took them all away.
Karrene, Skovlene, Knivene og Kanderne og alle Kobbersagerne, som brugtes ved Tjenesten, røvede de;
19 The basins and the incense burners, the bowls, pots, lampstands, pans, and basins that were made of gold, and those made of silver—the commander of the king's guard took them away as well.
ogsaa Fadene, Panderne, Skaalene, Karrene, Lysestagerne, Kanderne og Offerskaalene, der helt var af Guld eller Sølv, røvede Øversten for Livvagten.
20 The two pillars, the large bronze basin known as “The Sea,” and the twelve bronze bulls that were under the stands, things that Solomon had made for the house of Yahweh, contained more bronze than could be weighed.
De to Søjler, Havet med de tolv Kobberokser under og Stellene, som Salomo havde ladet lave til HERRENS Hus — Kobberet i alle disse Ting var ikke til at veje.
21 The pillars were eighteen cubits high each, and a line around each one measured twelve cubits. Each was four fingers thick and hollow.
Atten Alen høj var hver Søjle, og en Snor paa tolv Alen kunde naa om den, og den var hul, og Kobberet var fire Fingre tykt.
22 A capital of bronze was on top of it. The capital was five cubits high, with latticework and pomegranates all around. It was all made of bronze. The other pillar and its pomegranates were the same as the first.
Og der var et Søjlehoved af Kobber oven paa den, fem Alen højt, og rundt om Søjlehovedet var der Fletværk og Granatæbler, alt af Kobber; og paa samme Maade var det med den anden Søjle.
23 So there were ninety-six pomegranates on the capital's sides, and one hundred pomegranates above the surrounding latticework.
Og der var seks og halvfemsindstyve Granatæbler, som hang frit; der var i alt hundrede Granatæbler rundt om Fletværket.
24 The commander of the bodyguards took prisoner Seraiah, the high priest, together with Zephaniah, the second priest, and the three gatekeepers.
Øversten for Livvagten tog Ypperstepræsten Seraja, Andenpræsten Zefanja og de tre Dørvogtere;
25 From the city he took prisoner an officer who was in charge of soldiers, and seven men of those who advised the king, who were still in the city. He also took prisoner the king's army officer responsible for drafting men into the army, along with sixty important men from the land who were in the city.
og fra Byen tog han en Hofmand, der havde Opsyn med Krigsfolket, og syv 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 —
26 Then Nebuzaradan, the commander of the bodyguards, took them and brought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.
dem tog Øversten for Livvagten Nebuzar'adan og førte til Babels Konge i Ribla;
27 The king of Babylon put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. In this way, Judah went out of its land into exile.
og Babels Konge lod dem dræbe i Ribla i Hamats Land. Saa førtes Juda i Landflygtighed fra sit Land.
28 These were the people who Nebuchadnezzar exiled: In the seventh year, 3,023 Judeans.
Følgende er Tallet paa de Folk, Nebukadrezar bortførte i Fangenskab: I hans syvende Aar 3023 Judæere,
29 In the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar he took 832 people from Jerusalem.
i Nebukadrezars attende Aar 832 fra Jerusalem;
30 In the twenty-third year of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuzaradan, the commander of the king's bodyguards, exiled 745 Judean people. All the exiled people totaled 4,600.
i Nebukadrezars tre og tyvende Aar bortførte Nebuzar'adan, Øversten for Livvagten, 745 af Judæerne; tilsammen 4600.
31 It happened later in the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin, king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-fifth day of the month, that Awel-Marduk, king of Babylon released Jehoiachin king of Judah from prison. This happened in the year that Awel-Marduk began to reign.
I det syv og tredivte Aar efter Kong Jojakin af Judas Bortførelse paa den fem 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.
32 He spoke kindly to him and gave him a seat more honorable than that of the other kings who were with him in Babylon.
Han talte ham venligt til og gav ham Sæde oven for de Konger, som var hos ham i Babel.
33 Awel-Marduk removed Jehoiachin's prison clothes, and Jehoiachin ate regularly at the king's table for the rest of his life,
Jojakin aflagde sin Fangedragt og spiste daglig hos ham, saa længe han levede.
34 and a regular food allowance was given to him every day for the rest of his life until his death.
Han fik sit daglige Underhold af Babels Konge, hver Dag hvad han behøvede for den Dag, indtil sin Dødedag, saa længe han levede.
