2 Krønikebok 36
1 Landets folk tok og gjorde Joakas, Josias' sønn, til konge i hans fars sted i Jerusalem.
And the people of the land took Jehoachaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in his father's stead in Jerusalem.
2 Joakas var tre og tyve år gammel da han blev konge, og han regjerte tre måneder i Jerusalem.
Twenty and three years old was Joachaz when he became king, and three months did he 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.
And the king of Egypt deposed him at Jerusalem, and imposed a fine on the land of a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
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 the king of Egypt made Elyakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoyakim. And Joachaz his brother did Necho take away, and bring him to Egypt.
5 Jojakim var fem og tyve år gammel da han blev konge, og han regjerte elleve år i Jerusalem. Han gjorde hvad ondt var i Herrens, hans Guds øine.
Twenty and five years old was Jehoyakim when he became king, and eleven years did he reign in Jerusalem: and he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord his God.
6 Kongen i Babel Nebukadnesar drog op mot ham og lot ham binde med to kobberlenker for å føre ham til Babel.
Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and he bound him with fetters, to carry him away to Babylon.
7 Nebukadnesar førte også en del av karene i Herrens hus til Babel og satte dem i sitt tempel i Babel.
And some of the vessels of the house of the Lord did Nebuchadnezzar carry to Babylon, and he placed them in his temple at Babylon.
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 Jehoyakim, and his abominable deeds which he did, and that which was found concerning him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. And Jehoyachin his son became king in his stead.
9 Jojakin var atten år gammel da han blev konge, og han regjerte tre måneder og ti dager i Jerusalem. Han gjorde hvad ondt var i Herrens øine.
Eight years old was Jehoyachin when he became king, and three months and ten days did he reign in Jerusalem: and he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord.
10 Ved årsskiftet sendte kong Nebukadnesar krigsfolk avsted og lot ham føre til Babel, og med ham de kostbare kar i Herrens hus, og han gjorde hans bror Sedekias til konge over Juda og Jerusalem.
And with the expiration of the year did king Nebuchadnezzar send and had him brought to Babylon, with the costly vessels of the house of the Lord: and he made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem,
11 Sedekias var en og tyve år gammel da han blev konge, og han regjerte elleve år i Jerusalem.
Twenty and one years old was Zedekiah when he became king, and eleven years did he reign 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 what is evil in the eyes of the Lord his God: he humbled himself not before Jeremiah the prophet, according to the order 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.
And also against king Nebuchadnezzar did he rebel, who had made him swear by God; but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart so as not to return unto the Lord the 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.
Also all the chiefs of the priests and the people committed manifold trespasses, like all the abominable acts of the [foreign] nations: and they defiled the house of the Lord which he had hallowed 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 the God of their fathers sent to them by means of his messengers, making [them] rise early, and sending [them]: because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling-place;
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.
But they mocked at the messengers of God, and despised his words, and scorned his prophets, until the fury of the Lord arose 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 over them the king of the Chaldeans, who slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or virgin, the old man, and the aged: all did he give up into his hand.
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 the treasures of the king and of his princes, —all these did he carry 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 they burnt the house of God, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem, and all her palaces they burnt with fire, and all her costly vessels they gave up to destruction.
20 Dem som sverdet hadde levnet, førte han som fanger til Babel, og de blev hans og hans sønners træler, til perserriket fikk makten,
And those that had escaped from the sword did he carry into exile to Babylon: and they were servants to him and to his sons until the kingdom of Persia came to the government:
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.
To fulfill the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had satisfied its sabbaths: all the days of its desolation it rested, till seventy years were completed.
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:
And in the first year of Cyrus the king of Persia, at the completion of the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah, did the Lord stir up the spirit of Cyrus the king of Persia, so that he caused a proclamation to be made throughout all his kingdom, and also by means of writing, 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 hath said Cyrus the king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth hath the Lord the God of heaven given me, and he hath charged me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever there is among you of all his people, may the Lord his God be with him, and let him go up.
