2 Chronicles 36
1 Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz 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 Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.
Joahaz var tre og tyve År gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede tre Måneder i Jerusalem.
3 And the king of Egypt deposed him at Jerusalem, and imposed a fine on the land of an 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 på Landet.
4 And the king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. And Necho took Jehoahaz his brother, and carried him to Egypt.
Derpå 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 Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD his God.
Jojakim var fem og tyve År gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede elleve År i Jerusalem. Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERREN hans Guds Øjne.
6 Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon.
Kong Nebukadnezer af Babel drog op imod ham og lagde ham i Kobberlænker for at føre ham til Babel;
7 Nebuchadnezzar also carried of the vessels of the house of the LORD to Babylon, and put 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 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and his abominations which he did, and that which was found in him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead.
Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Jojakim og de Vederstyggeligheder, han øvede, hvad der er at sige om ham, står optegnet i Bogen om Israels og Judas Konger. Og hans Søn Jojakin blev Konge i hans Sted.
9 Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD.
Jojakin var atten År gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede tre Måneder og ti Dage i Jerusalem. Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENs Øjne.
10 And when the year had ended, king Nebuchadnezzar sent, and brought him to Babylon, with the precious vessels of the house of the LORD, and made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem.
Næste År sendfe 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 Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.
Zedekias var een og tyve År gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede i elleve År i Jerusalem.
12 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD his God, and humbled not himself before Jeremiah the prophet speaking from the mouth 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 he also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart from turning to the LORD God of Israel.
Desuden faldt han fra Kong Nebudkanezar, der havde taget ham i Ed ved Gud; og han var halsstarrig og forhærdede sit Hjerte, så han ikke omvendte sig til HERREN, Israels Gud.
14 Moreover all the chief of the priests, and the people, transgressed very much after all the abominations of the heathen; and polluted 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 God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising up early, and sending; 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 oer sit Folk og sin Bolig;
16 But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against his people, till there was no remedy.
men de spottede Guds Sendebud, lod hånt 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 Therefore he brought upon them the king of the Chaldees, who slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or maiden, old man, or him that stooped for age: he gave them all 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 Hånd.
18 And all the vessels of the house of God, great and small, and the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king, and of his princes; all these he brought to Babylon.
Alle Karrene i Guds Hus, store og små, 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 burnt all its palaces with fire, and destroyed all its precious vessels.
De stak Ild på Guds Hus, nedrev Jerusalems Mur, opbrændte alle dets Borge og ødelagde alle kostelige Ting deri.
20 And them that had escaped from the sword he carried away to Babylon; where they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia:
Dem, Sværdet levnede, førte han som Fanger til Babel, hvor de blev Trælle for ham og hans Sønner, indtil Perserriget fik Magten,
21 To fulfil the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed its sabbaths: for as long as it lay desolate it kept sabbath, to fulfil seventy years.
for at HERRENs Ord gennem Jeremias's Mund kunde opfyldes, indtil Landet fik sine Sabbater godtgjort; så længe Ødelæggelsen varede, hvilede det, til der var gået halvfjerdsindstyve År.
22 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD spoken by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,
Men i Perserkongen Kyros's første Regeringsår vakte HERREN, for at hans Ord gennem Jeremias's Mund kunde opfyldes, Perserkongen Kyros's Ånd, så han lod følgende udråbe i hele sit Rige og desuden kundgøre ved en Skrivelse:
23 Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth hath the LORD God of heaven given me; and he hath charged me to build him an house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Who is there among you of all his people? 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 pålagt 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!"
