2 Kings 25
1 And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he, and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it; and they built forts against it on all sides.
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 was besieged to the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
og Belejringen varede til Kong Zedekias's ellevte Regeringsår.
3 And on the ninth day of the fourth month the famine prevailed in the city, and there was 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 And the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between two walls, which is by the king’s garden: (now the Chaldees were against the city on all sides: ) and the king went the way toward 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 army of the Chaldees pursued the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all his army were 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 took the king, and brought him to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they pronounced sentence upon him.
Så greb de Kongen og bragte ham op til Ribla til Babels Konge, der fældede Dommen over ham.
7 And they slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with fetters of brass, and carried him to 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 day of the month, which is the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, a 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 he burnt the house of the LORD, and the king’s house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great man’s house he burnt 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 all the army of the Chaldees, that were with the captain of the guard, broke down the walls of Jerusalem on all sides.
og Murene om Jerusalem nedbrød alle Kaldæernes Folk, som Øversten for Livvagten havde med sig.
11 Now the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the fugitives that fell away to the king of Babylon, with the remnant of the multitude, did Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carry away.
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 the captain of the guard left of the poor of the land to be vinedressers and farmers.
Men nogle af de fattigste at Folket fra Landet lod Øversten for Livvagten blive tilbage som Vingårdsmænd og Agerdyrkere.
13 And the pillars of brass that were in the house of the LORD, and the bases, and the brasen sea that was in the house of the LORD, did the Chaldees break in pieces, and carried the brass 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 pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass by which they ministered, they took away.
Karrene, Skovlene, Hnivene, Kanderne og alle Kobbersagerne, som brugtes ved Tjenesten, røvede de;
15 And the firepans, and the basins, and such things as were of gold, in gold, and of silver, in silver, the captain of the guard took away.
også Panderne og Skålene, alt, hvad der helt var af Guld eller Sølv, røvede Øversten for Livvagten.
16 The two pillars, one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made for the house of the LORD; the brass of all these vessels was beyond weight.
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 The height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, and the capital upon it was brass: and the height of the capital three cubits; and the wreathen work, and pomegranates upon the capital around, all of brass: and like these had the second pillar with wreathen 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 captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door:
Øversten for Livvagten tog Ypperstepræsten Seraja, Andenpræsten Zefanja og de tre Dørvogtere;
19 And out of the city he took an officer that was set over the men of war, and five men of them that were in the king’s presence, who were found in the city, and the principal scribe of the host, who mustered the people of the land, and sixty men of the people of the land that 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 captain of the guard took these, and brought them to the king of Babylon to 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 at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away out of their land.
og Babels Konge lod dem dræbe i Ribla i Hamats Land. Så førtes Juda i Landflygtighed fra sit Land.
22 And as for the people that remained in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, even over them he made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, ruler.
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 captains of the armies, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, there came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan the son of Careah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of a 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, Bareas Søn, Seraja, Tanhumets Søn fra Netofa, og Ja'azanja, Ma'akatitens Søn, tillige med deres Folk.
24 And Gedaliah swore to them, and to their men, and said to them, Fear not to be the servants of the Chaldees: 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 But it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, came, and ten men with him, and smote Gedaliah, that he died, and the Jews and the Chaldees that 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 And all the people, both small and great, and the captains of the armies, arose, and came to Egypt: for they were afraid of the Chaldees.
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 seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, that Evilmerodach king of Babylon in the year that he began to reign released 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 spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that 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 ate his food daily before him all the days of his life.
Jojakin aflagde sin Fangedragt og spiste daglig hos ham, så længe han levede.
30 And his allowance was a daily allowance given him by the king, a daily rate for every 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.
