1 Landets folk tok og gjorde Joakas, Josias' sønn, til konge i hans fars sted i Jerusalem.
And the people of the land took Joachaz the son of Josias, and anointed him, and made him king over Jerusalem in the room of his father.

Joachaz [was] twenty-three years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Amital, daughter of Jeremias of Lobna. And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his fathers had done. And Pharao Nechao bound him in Deblatha in the land of Aemath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem.
3 Men kongen i Egypten avsatte ham, så han ikke lenger var konge i Jerusalem, og lot landet bøte hundre talenter sølv og en talent gull.

4 Så gjorde kongen i Egypten Neko hans bror Eljakim til konge over Juda og Jerusalem og forandret hans navn til Jojakim, men hans bror Joakas tok han med sig og førte ham til Egypten.
And Pharao Nechao made Eliakim the son of Josias king over Juda in the room of his father Josias, and changed his name [to] Joakim. And Pharao Nechao took his brother Joachaz and brought him into Egypt, and he died there: but [he] had given the silver and gold to Pharao. At that time the land began to be taxed to give the money at the command of Pharao; and every one as he could borrowed the silver and the gold of the people of the land, to give to Pharao Nechao.

8 Hvad som ellers er å fortelle om Jojakim og om de vederstyggelige ting han gjorde sig skyldig i, og hvad ondt det ellers fantes hos ham, det er opskrevet i boken om Israels og Judas konger. Og hans sønn Jojakin blev konge i hans sted.
And the rest of the acts of Joakim, and all that he did, behold, [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda? And Joakim slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in Ganozae: and Jechonias his son reigned in his stead.

Sedekias [was] twenty-one years old when he began to reign, and be reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.
12 Han gjorde hvad ondt var i Herrens, hans Guds øine; han ydmyket sig ikke for profeten Jeremias, hvis ord kom fra Herrens munn.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord his God: he was not ashamed before the prophet Jeremias, nor because of the word of the Lord;
13 Han gjorde også oprør mot kong Nebukadnesar, som hadde latt ham sverge sig troskap ved Gud; han var hårdnakket og forherdet sitt hjerte, så han ikke vendte om til Herren, Israels Gud.
in that he rebelled against king Nabuchodonosor, which he adjured him by God [not to do]: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart, so as not to return to the Lord God of Israel.
14 Også alle prestenes og folkets høvdinger forsyndet sig storlig og fulgte alle hedningefolkenes vederstyggelige skikker, og de gjorde Herrens hus urent, det som han hadde helliget i Jerusalem.
And all the great men of Juda, and the priests, and the people of the land transgressed abundantly in the abominations of the heathen, and polluted the house of the Lord which [was] in Jerusalem.
15 Herren, deres fedres Gud, sendte sine ord til dem ved sine sendebud tidlig og sent; for han ynkedes over sitt folk og over sin bolig.
And the Lord God of their fathers sent by the hand of his prophets; rising early and sending his messengers, for he spared his people, and his sanctuary.
16 Men de spottet Guds sendebud og foraktet hans ord og hånte hans profeter, inntil Herrens vrede mot sitt folk blev så sterk at det ikke lenger var nogen lægedom.
Nevertheless they sneered at his messengers, and set at nothing his words, and mocked his prophets, until the wrath of the Lord rose up against his people, till there was no remedy.
17 Da lot han kaldeernes konge dra op mot dem, og han drepte deres unge menn med sverdet i deres hellige hus og sparte hverken unggutter eller jomfruer eller gamle og gråhårede - alle gav han i hans hånd.
And he brought against them the king of the Chaldeans, and killed their young men with the sword in the house of his sanctuary, and did not spare Sedekias, and had no mercy upon their virgins, and they led away their old men: he delivered all things into their hands.
18 Alle karene i Guds hus, både store og små, og skattene i Herrens hus og kongens og hans høvdingers skatter - alt førte han til Babel.
And all the vessels of the house of God, the great and the small, and the treasures of the house of the Lord, and all the treasures of the king and the great men; he brought all to Babylon.
19 De brente op Guds hus og rev ned Jerusalems mur; alle dets palasser brente de op med ild, og alle dets kostbare kar blev ødelagt.
And he burnt the house of the Lord, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem, and burnt its palaces with fire, and [utterly destroyed] every beautiful vessel.
20 Dem som sverdet hadde levnet, førte han som fanger til Babel, og de blev hans og hans sønners træler, til perserriket fikk makten,

21 forat Herrens ord i Jeremias' munn skulde bli opfylt - til landet hadde gjort fyldest for sine sabbatsår; alle de dager det lå øde, hadde det hvile - til sytti år var gått til ende.
That the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremias might be fulfilled, until the land should enjoy its sabbaths in resting [and] sabbath keeping all the days of its desolation, till the accomplishment of seventy years.
22 Så var det i perserkongen Kyros' første år; da vakte Herren, forat hans ord i Jeremias' munn skulde opfylles, slike tanker i perserkongen Kyros' ånd at han lot utrope i hele sitt rike og dessuten kunngjøre ved en skrivelse:
In the first year of Cyrus king of the Persians, after the fulfilment of the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremias, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of the Persians, and told him to make proclamation in writing throughout all his kingdom, saying,
23 Så sier Kyros, kongen i Persia: Herren, himmelens Gud, har gitt mig alle jordens riker, og han har pålagt mig å bygge ham et hus i Jerusalem i Juda. Er det nogen blandt eder av alt hans folk, så være Herren hans Gud med ham, og han kan dra dit!
Thus says Cyrus king of the Persians to all the kingdoms of the earth, The Lord God of heaven has given me [power], and he has commanded me to build a house to him in Jerusalem, in Judea. Who [is there] of you of all his people? His God shall be with him, and let him go up.
