2 Kings 24
1 In his days hath Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon come up, and Jehoiakim is to him a servant three years; and he turneth and rebelleth against him,
I hans Dage drog Kong Nebukadnezar af Balel op, og Jojakim underkastede sig ham; men efter tre Års Forløb faldt han fra ham igen.
2 and Jehovah sendeth against him the troops of the Chaldeans, and the troops of Aram, and the troops of Moab, and the troops of the sons of Ammon, and He sendeth them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of Jehovah, that He spake by the hand of His servants the prophets;
Da sendte HERREN kaldæiske, aramaiske, moabitiske og ammonitiske Strejfskarer imod ham; dem sendte han ind i Juda for at ødelægge det efter det Ord, HERREN havde talet ved sine Tjenere Profeterne.
3 only, by the command of Jehovah it hath been against Judah to turn [them] aside from His presence, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did,
Det skyldtes ene og alene HERRENs Vrede, at Juda blev drevet bort fra HERRENs Åsyn; det var for Manasses Synders Skyld, for alt det, han havde gjort,
4 and also the innocent blood that he hath shed, and he filleth Jerusalem with innocent blood, and Jehovah was not willing to forgive.
også for det uskyldige Blods Skyld, som han havde udgydt så meget af, at han havde fyldt Jerusalem dermed; det vilde HERREN ikke tilgive.
5 And the rest of the matters of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Jojakim, alt, hvad han udførte, står jo optegnet i Judas Kongers Krønike.
6 And Jehoiakim lieth with his fathers, and Jehoiachin his son reigneth in his stead.
Så lagde Jojakim sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre; og hans Søn Jojakin blev Kooge i hans Sted.
7 And the king of Egypt hath not added any more to go out from his own land, for the king of Babylon hath taken, from the brook of Egypt unto the river Phrat, all that had been to the king of Egypt.
Men Ægypterkongen drog ikke mere ud af sit Land, thi Babels Konge havde taget alt, hvad der tilhørte Ægypterkongen fra Ægyptens Bæk til Eufratfloden.
8 A son of eighteen years [is] Jehoiachin in his reigning, and three months he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Nehushta, daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem,
Jojakin var atten År gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede tre Måneder i Jerusålem. Hans Moder hed Nehusjta og var en Datter af Elnatan fra Jerusalem.
9 and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that his fathers did.
Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENs Øjne, ganske som hans Fader.
10 At that time come up have servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Jerusalem, and the city goeth into siege,
På den Tid drog Kong Nebukadnezar af Babels Folk op mod Jerusalem, og Byen blev belejret.
11 and Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon cometh against the city, and his servants are laying siege to it,
Kong Nebukadnezar af Babel kom til Jerusalem, medens hans Folk belejrede det.
12 and Jehoiachin king of Judah goeth out unto the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his chiefs, and his eunuchs, and the king of Babylon taketh him in the eighth year of his reign,
Da overgav Kong Jojakin af Juda sig med sin Modet, sine Tjenere, Øverster og Hoffolk til Babels Konge, og han tog imod ham; det var i Kongen af Babels ottende Regeringsår.
13 and bringeth out thence all the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the house of the king, and cutteth in pieces all the vessels of gold that Solomon king of Israel made in the temple of Jehovah, as Jehovah had spoken.
Og som HERREN havde forudsagt, førte han alle Skattene i HERRENs Hus og Kongens Palads bort og brød Guldet af alle de Ting, Kong Salomo af Israel havde ladet lave i HERRENs Helligdom.
14 And he hath removed all Jerusalem, and all the chiefs, and all the mighty ones of valour — ten thousand [is] the removal — and every artificer and smith, none hath been left save the poor of the people of the land.
Og han førte hele Jerusalem, alle Øversterne og de velhavende, 10.000 i Tal, bort som Fanger, ligeledes Grovsmede og Låsesmede, så der ikke blev andre tilbage end de fattigste af Folket fra Landet.
15 And he removeth Jehoiachin to Babylon, and the mother of the king, and the wives of the king, and his eunuchs, and the mighty ones of the land — he hath caused a removal to go from Jerusalem to Babylon,
Så førte han Jojakin som Fange til Babel, også Kongens Moder og Hustruer, hans Hoffolk og alle de højtstående i Landet førte han som Fanger fra Jerusalem til Babel;
16 and all the men of valour seven thousand, and the artificers and the smiths a thousand, the whole [are] mighty men, warriors; and the king of Babylon bringeth them in a captivity to Babylon.
fremdeles alle de velbavende, 7000 i Tal, Grovsmedene og Låsesmedene, 1800 i Tal, alle øvede Krigere - dem førte Babels Konge som Fanger til Babel.
17 And the king of Babylon causeth Mattaniah his father's brother to reign in his stead, and turneth his name to Zedekiah.
Men i Jojakins Sted gjorde Babels Konge hans Farbroder Mattanja til Konge, og han ændrede hans Navn til Zedekias.
18 A son of twenty and one years [is] Zedekiah in his reigning, and eleven years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah,
Zedekias var een og tyve År gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede elleve År i Jerusalem. Hans Moder hed Hamital og var en Datter af Jirmeja fra Libna.
19 and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah according to all that Jehoiakim did,
Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENs Øjne, ganske som Jojakim.
20 for, by the anger of Jehovah it hath been against Jerusalem and against Judah, till he cast them out from His presence, that Zedekiah rebelleth against the king of Babylon.
Thi for HERRENs Vredes Skyld timedes dette Jerusalem og Juda, og til sidst stødte han dem bort fra sit Åsyn. Og Zedekias faldt fra Babels Konge.
