2 Kongebok 24
1 I hans tid drog kongen i Babel Nebukadnesar op, og Jojakim blev hans tjener i tre år; da falt han fra ham igjen.
In his days, came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, —and Jehoiakim became his servant three years, then turned he and rebelled against him.
2 Og Herren sendte mot ham kaldeiske og syriske og moabittiske og ammonittiske hærflokker; han sendte dem mot Juda for å ødelegge det efter det ord som Herren hadde talt ved sine tjenere profetene.
And Yahweh sent against him troops of Chaldeans, and troops of Syrians, and troops of Moabites, and troops of the sons of Ammon, yea he sent them against Judah, to destroy him, —according to the word of Yahweh, which he spake through his servants the prophets.
3 Det var bare efter Herrens bud dette kom over Juda, fordi han vilde støte dem bort fra sitt åsyn for Manasses synders skyld, for alt det han hadde gjort,
Surely, it was, because of the anger of Yahweh, that this came upon Judah, to remove them from his presence, —for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he had done:
4 også for det uskyldige blods skyld som han hadde utøst, så han fylte Jerusalem med uskyldig blod; og Herren vilde ikke tilgi.
moreover also, for the innocent blood that he had shed, so that he had filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, —which Yahweh was not willing to pardon.
5 Hvad som ellers er å fortelle om Jojakim og om alt det han gjorde, det er opskrevet i Judas kongers krønike.
Now, the rest of the story of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
6 Og Jojakim la sig til hvile hos sine fedre, og hans sønn Jojakin blev konge i hans sted.
So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers, —and, Jehoiachin his son, reigned, in his stead.
7 Men kongen i Egypten drog ikke mere ut av sitt land; for kongen i Babel hadde tatt alt det som hadde tilhørt kongen i Egypten, fra Egyptens bekk til Frat-elven.
And the king of Egypt came no more again out of his land, —for the king of Babylon had taken—from the ravine of Egypt, unto the river Euphrates, all that had belonged to the king of Egypt.
8 Jojakin var atten år gammel da han blev konge, og han regjerte tre måneder i Jerusalem; hans mor hette Nehusta; hun var datter av Elnatan og var fra Jerusalem.
Eighteen years old, was Jehoiachin when he began to reign, and, three months, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, his mother’s name, was Nehushta daughter of Elnathan, of Jerusalem.
9 Han gjorde hvad ondt var i Herrens øine, aldeles som hans far hadde gjort.
And he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —according to all that, his father, had done.
10 På den tid drog Babels konge Nebukadnesars menn op til Jerusalem, og byen blev kringsatt.
At that time, came up the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem, —and the city came into the siege.
11 Siden drog kongen i Babel Nebukadnesar selv mot byen, mens hans menn holdt den kringsatt.
And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came against the city, and his servants were about to besiege it.
12 Da gikk Judas konge Jojakin ut til kongen i Babel, både han og hans mor og hans tjenere og høvedsmenn og hoffmenn; og kongen i Babel tok ham til fange i sitt åttende regjeringsår.
Then came out Jehoiachin king of Judah, unto the king of Babylon, he and his mother, and his servants, and his generals, and his courtiers, —and the king of Babylon took him, in the eighth year of his reign.
13 Han førte bort alle skattene i Herrens hus og i kongens hus, og han brøt gullet av alle de redskaper som Israels konge Salomo hadde latt gjøre i Herrens tempel, således som Herren hadde sagt.
And he carried forth from thence, all the treasures of the house of Yahweh, and the treasures of the house of the king, —and he cut off all the fittings of gold, which Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of Yahweh, according to all that, Yahweh, had spoken.
14 Han bortførte hele Jerusalem, alle de fornemste og alle rikmenn - ti tusen fanger - og alle tømmermenn og stenhuggere og smeder; det blev ikke nogen tilbake uten de ringeste av landets folk.
And he carried away all Jerusalem, and all the generals, and all the mighty men of valour, ten thousand becoming captives, and all the artificers and the smiths, —none remained save the poorest of the people of the land.
15 Han bortførte Jojakin til Babel; også kongens mor og hustruer og hoffmenn og de mektigste i landet førte han fangne fra Jerusalem til Babel.
And he carried away captive Jehoiachin, to Babylon, —and, the king’s mother, and the king’s wives, and his courtiers, and the nobles of the land, took he away captive, from Jerusalem to Babylon.
16 Og alle rikmennene - syv tusen - og tømmermennene og stenhuggerne og smedene - tusen - alle sammen djerve krigsmenn, dem førte kongen i Babel fangne til Babel.
And, all the men of might—seven thousand, and artificers and smiths—a thousand, all who were valiant and ready to make war, the king of Babylon brought them captive to Babylon.
17 Og kongen i Babel satte hans farbror Mattanja til konge i hans sted og forandret hans navn til Sedekias.
And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah, his relative, king in his stead, —and changed his name to Zedekiah.
18 Sedekias var en og tyve år gammel da han blev konge, og han regjerte elleve år i Jerusalem; hans mor hette Hamital; hun var datter av Jirmeja og var fra Libna.
Twenty-one years old, was Zedekiah when he began to reign, and, eleven years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, his mother’s name, was Hamutal, daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
19 Han gjorde hvad ondt var i Herrens øine, aldeles som Jojakim hadde gjort.
And he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —according to all that, Jehoiakim, had done.
20 For på grunn av Herrens vrede gikk det så med Jerusalem og Juda, inntil han kastet dem bort fra sitt åsyn. Og Sedekias falt fra kongen i Babel
For, it was because the anger of Yahweh had come against Jerusalem, and against Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence, that Zedekiah rebelled, against the king of Babylon.
