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 son of Josiah, and made him king in his father's place 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 began to reign, and he reigned 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.
The king of Egypt removed him at Jerusalem, and fined the land 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.
The king of Egypt made Eliakim, who was the brother of Jehoahaz, king over Judah and Jerusalem (and changed Eliakim's name to Jehoiakim). Then Necho took Eliakim's brother Jehoahaz and brought him 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 began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh his God.
6 Nebukadnessar, kongen i Babel, drog upp imot honom, og batt honom med koparlekkjor og vilde føra honom til Babel.
Then Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, attacked him and bound him in chains to lead him away to Babylon.
7 Og Nebukadnessar førde nokre av kjeraldi i Herrens hus til Babel og sette deim upp i templet sitt i Babel.
Nebuchadnezzar also carried some of the objects in the house of Yahweh to Babylon, and put them in his palace at 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.
As for the other matters concerning Jehoiakim, the disgusting things that he did, and what was found against him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel. Then 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 eight years old when he began to reign; he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem. He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh.
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, King Nebuchadnezzar sent men and brought him to Babylon, with the valuable things from the house of Yahweh, and made Zedekiah, his relative, 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 began to reign; he reigned 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.
He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh his God. He did not humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet, who spoke from the mouth of Yahweh.
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.
Zedekiah also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear loyalty to him by God. But Zedekiah stiffened his neck and hardened his heart against turning to Yahweh, 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.
Moreover, all the leaders of the priests and the people were extremely unfaithful, and they followed the disgusting practices of the nations. They polluted the house of Yahweh which he had consecrated 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.
Yahweh, the God of their ancestors, sent word to them by his messengers again and again, because he had compassion on his people and on the place where he lives.
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 mocked God's messengers, despised his words, and scoffed at his prophets, until the wrath of Yahweh arose against his people, until there was no help for it.
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 God brought on them the king of the Chaldeans, who killed their young men with the sword in the sanctuary, and had no compassion on young men or virgins, old men or the gray-haired. God gave them all into his hand.
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.
All the furnishings of the house of God, great and small, the treasures of the house of Yahweh, and the treasures of the king and his officials—all these he took 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.
They burned down the house of God, broke down the wall of Jerusalem, burned all its palaces, and destroyed all the beautiful things in it.
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,
The king carried away to Babylon those who had escaped the sword. They became servants for him and his sons until the rule of the kingdom of Persia.
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.
This happened to fulfill the word of Yahweh by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land should have enjoyed its Sabbath rests. It observed its Sabbath for as long as it lay abandoned, in order to pass seventy years in this way.
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, so that the word of Yahweh by the mouth of Jeremiah might be carried out, Yahweh motivated the spirit of Cyrus, king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing. He said,
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!»»
“This is what Cyrus, king of Persia, says: Yahweh, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth. He has commanded me to build a house for him in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever is among you from all his people, may Yahweh your God, be with you. Let him go up to the land.”
