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 they appointed him king in place of his father, in Jerusalem.
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 had begun to reign, and he reigned for three months in Jerusalem.
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, when he had arrived in Jerusalem, removed him, and condemned the land to one hundred talents of silver and one 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 he appointed Eliakim, his brother, as king in his place, over Judah and Jerusalem. And he changed his name to Jehoiakim. Truly, he took Jehoahaz with him, and he led him 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 had begun to reign, and he reigned for eleven years in Jerusalem. And he did evil before 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, the king of the Chaldeans, ascended against him, and led him bound 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 to there, he also took away the vessels of the Lord, and he placed them in his temple.
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.
But the rest of the words of Jehoiakim, and his abominations that he worked, and the things that were found in him, are contained in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel. Then his son, Jehoiachin, reigned 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 eight years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for three months and ten days in Jerusalem. And he did evil in the sight 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.
And when the course of a year had turned, king Nebuchadnezzar sent and brought him to Babylon, carrying away, at the same time, the most precious vessels of the house of the Lord. Truly, he appointed his uncle, Zedekiah, as 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 had begun to reign. And he reigned for eleven years in Jerusalem.
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.
And he did evil in the eyes of the Lord his God. And he did not show remorse before the face of the prophet Jeremiah, who was speaking to him from the mouth 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.
Also, he withdrew from king Nebuchadnezzar, who had bound him by an oath to God, and he hardened his own neck and his own heart, so that he did not return to 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.
Then too, all the leaders of the priests, with the people, transgressed iniquitously, in accord with all the abominations of the Gentiles. And they polluted the house of the Lord, which he had sanctified to himself 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.
Then the Lord, the God of their fathers, sent to them, by the hand of his messengers, rising in the night and daily admonishing them. For he was lenient to his people and to his habitation.
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 ridiculed the messengers of God, and they gave little weight to his words, and they mocked the prophets, until the fury of the Lord ascended against his people, and there was no remedy.
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.
For he led over them the king of the Chaldeans. And he put to death their young men by the sword, in the house of his sanctuary. There was no pity for adolescents, nor virgins, nor the elderly, nor even for the disabled. Instead, he delivered 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 Lord, as much the greater as the lesser, and the treasures of the temple, and of the king and the rulers, he carried 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.
The enemies set fire to the house of God, and they destroyed the wall of Jerusalem. They burned down all the towers. And whatever was precious, they demolished.
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,
If anyone had escaped from the sword, he was led into Babylon. And he served the king and his sons, until the king of Persia would command,
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.
and the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah would be fulfilled, and the land would celebrate her Sabbaths. For during all the days of the desolation, she kept a Sabbath, until the seventy years were completed.
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:
Then, in the first year of Cyrus, the king of the Persians, in order to fulfill the word of the Lord, which he had spoken by the mouth of Jeremiah, the Lord stirred up the heart of Cyrus, the king of the Persians, who commanded this to be proclaimed throughout his entire kingdom, and also 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!»»
“Thus says Cyrus, the king of the Persians: The Lord, the God of heaven, has given to me all the kingdoms of the earth. And he has instructed me that I should build for him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judea. Who among you is from his entire people? May the Lord his God be with him, and let him ascend.”
