2 Krønikebok 36
1 Folket i landet tok Joahaz Josiason og gjorde honom til konge i Jerusalem i staden for far hans.
Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz, the son of Josiah, and made him king in Jerusalem in place of his father.
2 Tri og tjuge år gamall var Joahaz då han vart konge, og tri månader styrde han i Jerusalem.
Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he became king; he was ruling in Jerusalem for three months.
3 Men egyptarkongen sette honom av frå styret i Jerusalem og let landet bøta tvo hundrad og femti våger sylv og tvo og ein halv våg gull.
Then the king of Egypt took the kingdom from him in Jerusalem, and put on the land a tax of a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
4 Og egyptarkongen gjorde Eljakim, bror hans, til konge yver Juda og Jerusalem, og han brigda namnet hans til Jojakim, Joahaz, bror hans derimot, tok Neko og førde til Egyptarland.
And the king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, changing his name to Jehoiakim. And Neco took his brother Jehoahaz away to Egypt.
5 Fem og tjuge år gamall var Jojakim då han vart konge, og elleve år styrde han i Jerusalem. Han gjorde det som vondt var for Herren, hans Gud.
Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became king; he was ruling in Jerusalem for eleven years, and he did evil in the eyes of the Lord his God.
6 Nebukadnessar, kongen i Babel, drog upp imot honom, og batt honom med koparlekkjor og vilde føra honom til Babel.
Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came up against him, and took him away in chains to Babylon.
7 Og Nebukadnessar førde nokre av kjeraldi i Herrens hus til Babel og sette deim upp i templet sitt i Babel.
And Nebuchadnezzar took away some of the vessels of the Lord's house, and put them in the house of his god in Babylon.
8 Det som elles er å fortelja um Jojakim og dei styggetingi som han gjorde, og anna vondt som fanst hjå honom, det er uppskrive i boki um Israels- og Juda-kongarne; Jojakin, son hans, vart konge i staden hans.
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim and the disgusting things he did, and all there is to be said against him, are recorded in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah; and Jehoiachin his son became king in his place.
9 Attan år gamall var Jojakin då han vart konge, og tri månader og ti dagar styrde han i Jerusalem. Han gjorde det som vondt var i Herrens augo.
Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he became king; he was ruling in Jerusalem for three months and ten days, and he did evil in the eyes of the Lord.
10 Ved årsskiftet sende kong Nebukadnessar folk og førde honom til Babel saman med dei dyraste kjeraldi ifrå Herrens hus; og han gjorde Sidkia, bror hans, til konge yver Juda og Jerusalem.
In the spring of the year King Nebuchadnezzar sent and took him away to Babylon, with the beautiful vessels of the house of the Lord, and made Zedekiah, his father's brother, king over Judah and Jerusalem.
11 Eitt og tjuge år gamall var Sidkia då han vart konge, og elleve år styrde han i Jerusalem.
Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king; he was ruling in Jerusalem for eleven years.
12 Han gjorde det som var vondt i Herrens, hans Guds, augo; han audmykte seg ikkje for profeten Jeremia som tala ord frå Herrens munn.
He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, and did not make himself low before Jeremiah the prophet who gave him the word of the Lord.
13 Attpå gjorde han uppreist imot kong Nebukadnessar, som hadde teke honom i eid ved Gud; og han var ein stivnakke og gjorde hjarta sitt hardt, so han umvende seg ikkje til Herren, Israels Gud.
And he took up arms against King Nebuchadnezzar, though he had made him take an oath by God; but he made his neck stiff and his heart hard, turning away from the Lord, the God of Israel.
14 Alle hovdingarne bland prestarne og folket gjorde mykjen utruskap og for med same styggedomen som heidningarne og sulka til Herrens hus, som han hadde helga i Jerusalem.
And more than this, all the great men of Judah and the priests and the people made their sin great, turning to all the disgusting ways of the nations; and they made unclean the house of the Lord which he had made holy in Jerusalem.
15 Herren, deira fedregud, sende fyretolor til deim seint og tidleg med sendebodi sine, av di han tykte synd i folket sitt og bustaden sin.
And the Lord, the God of their fathers, sent word to them by his servants, sending early and frequently, because he had pity on his people and on his living-place;
16 Men dei spotta sendebodi for Gud, hædde ordi hans og svivyrde profetarne hans til dess Herrens harm reiste seg soleis imot folket hans, at det ikkje lenger var nokor botevon.
But they put shame on the servants of God, making sport of his words and laughing at his prophets, till the wrath of God was moved against his people, till there was no help.
17 Han sende kaldæarkongen imot deim, og han drap deira unge mannskap med sverd i det heilage huset deira og sparde korkje unggut eller ungmøy, gamall eller gråhærd. Alt gav han i hans hand.
So he sent against them the king of the Chaldaeans, who put their young men to death with the sword in the house of their holy place, and had no pity for any, young man or virgin, old man or white-haired: God gave them all into his hands.
18 Alle kjeraldi i Guds hus, både store og små, skattarne i Herrens hus og skatterne åt kongen og hovdingarne hans, alt saman førde han til Babel.
And all the vessels of the house of God, great and small, and the stored wealth of the Lord's house and the wealth of the king and his chiefs, he took away to Babylon.
19 Dei brende upp Guds hus og reiv ned Jerusalems-muren, brende upp alle slotti der og øydelagde alle dei dyrverdige tingi som fanst der.
And the house of God was burned and the wall of Jerusalem broken down; all its great houses were burned with fire and all its beautiful vessels given up to destruction.
20 Deim som sverdet hadde leivt, førde han fangar til Babel, og der vert dei trælar for honom og sønerne hans til dess Persarriket kom til magti,
And all who had not come to death by the sword he took away prisoners to Babylon; and they became servants to him and to his sons till the kingdom of Persia came to power:
21 so Herrens ord i Jeremias munn skulde verta uppfyllt, til dess landet fekk njota si kvild; alt med det låg i øyde, fekk det kvila til dess sytti år var lidne.
So that the words of the Lord, which he said by the mouth of Jeremiah, might come true, till the land had had pleasure in her Sabbaths; for as long as she was waste the land kept the Sabbath, till seventy years were complete.
22 Men i det fyrste året åt Kyrus, kongen i Persia, vekte Herren hugen i persarkongen Kyrus - for Herrens ord i Jeremias munn skulde nå sitt endemål - og han let ropa ut i alt sitt rike, og sende brev ikring med sovori kunngjering:
Now in the first year of Cyrus, king of Persia, in order that the words which the Lord had said by the mouth of Jeremiah might come true, the spirit of Cyrus, king of Persia, was moved by the Lord, and he made a public statement and had it given out through all his kingdom and put in writing, saying,
23 «So segjer Kyrus, kongen i Persia: «Alle kongerike på jordi hev Herren, Gud i himmelen, gjeve meg, og han hev lagt på meg at eg skal byggja honom eit hus i Jerusalem i Juda. Er det nokon millom dykk av alt hans folk, so vere Herren, hans Gud, med honom, og han drage upp dit!»»
Cyrus, king of Persia, has said, All the kingdoms of the earth have been given to me by the Lord, the God of heaven; and he has made me responsible for building a house for him 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.
