2 Kongebok 24
1 I hans tid drog Babel-kongen Nebukadnessar upp, og Jojakim vart lydkongen hans. Men tri år etter fall han ifrå honom att.
In his days, Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came up and Jehoiakim was his servant for three years; then he took up arms against him.
2 Herren sende då imot honom kaldæiske, syriske, moabitiske og ammonitiske røvarflokkar. Han sende deim mot Juda til å øyda landet, etter Herrens ord, som han hadde tala ved tenarane sine, profetarne.
And the Lord sent against him bands of the Chaldaeans and of the Edomites and of the Moabites and of the children of Ammon; sending them against Judah for its destruction, as he had said by his servants the prophets.
3 Ja, på Herrens bod gjekk det so med Juda at dei vart burtstøytte frå hans åsyn, for Manasses synder skuld, for alt det han hadde gjort,
Only by the word of the Lord did this fate come on Judah, to take them away from before his face; because of the sins of Manasseh and all the evil he did;
4 soleis og for det skuldlause blodet han let renna, då han fyllte Jerusalem med skuldlaust blod; det vilde Herren ikkje tilgjeva.
And because of the death of those who had done no wrong, for he made Jerusalem full of the blood of the upright; and the Lord had no forgiveness for it.
5 Det som elles er å fortelja um Jojakim og alt det han gjorde, det er uppskrive i krønikeboki åt Juda-kongarne.
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?
6 Jojakim lagde seg til kvile hjå federne sine, og Jojakin, son hans, vart konge i staden hans.
So Jehoiakim went to rest with his fathers; and Jehoiachin his son became king in his place.
7 No for ikkje egyptarkongen ut frå landet sitt meir; for Babel-kongen hadde teke alt det landet egyptarkongen åtte frå Egyptarlands-bekken til elvi Frat.
And the king of Egypt did not come out of his land again, for the king of Babylon had taken all his country, from the stream of Egypt to the river Euphrates.
8 Attan år gamall var Jojakin då han vart konge, tri månader rådde han i Jerusalem. Mor hans heitte Nehusta Elnatansdotter, frå Jerusalem.
Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he became king, he was ruling in Jerusalem for three months, and his mother's name was Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.
9 Han gjorde det som vondt var i Herrens augo, plent som far hans.
He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, as his father had done.
10 På den tid drog Babel-kongen Nebukadnessars folk upp mot Jerusalem, og byen vart kringsett.
At that time the armies of Nebuchadnezzar came up to Jerusalem and the town was shut in on every side.
11 Kong Nebukadnessar kom sjølv til byen, medan herfolket hans kringsette honom.
And Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came there, while his servants were shutting in the town;
12 Juda-kongen Jojakin gav seg då yver til Babel-kongen med mor si og tenarane og hovdingarne og hirdmennerne sine; og Babel-kongen tok honom til fange i åttande styringsår.
Then Jehoiachin, king of Judah, went out to the king of Babylon, with his mother and his servants and his chiefs and his unsexed servants; and in the eighth year of his rule the king of Babylon took him.
13 Han førde burt derifrå alle skattar i Herrens hus og i kongsgarden. Han braut laust gullet av alle gognerne som Salomo, Israels konge, hadde laga åt Herrens tempel, soleis som Herren hadde sagt.
And he took away all the stored wealth of the Lord's house, and the goods from the king's store-house, cutting up all the gold vessels which Solomon, king of Israel, had made in the house of the Lord, as the Lord had said.
14 Han førde burt heile Jerusalem, alle hovdingarne og godseigarne, ti tusund fangar, og alle grovsmedar og låssmedar. Det vart ikkje att anna enn fatigfolk i landet.
And he took away all the people of Jerusalem and all the chiefs and all the men of war, ten thousand prisoners; and all the expert workmen and the metal-workers; only the poorest sort of the people of the land were not taken away.
15 Han førde Jojakin burt til Babel; og kongsmori og kongskonorne og hirdmennerne hans og storfolket i landet førde han fangar frå Jerusalem til Babel;
He took Jehoiachin a prisoner to Babylon, with his mother and his wives and his unsexed servants and the great men of the land; he took them all as prisoners from Jerusalem to Babylon.
16 og alle godseigarane: sju tusund, grovsmedar og låssmedar: eit tusund, alle i hop djerve hermenner, deim førde Babel-kongen burt til Babel.
And all the men of war, seven thousand of them, and a thousand expert workmen and metal-workers, all of them strong and able to take up arms, the king of Babylon took away as prisoners into Babylon.
17 Og Babel-kongen sette Mattanja, farbror hans, til konge i staden hans, og brigda namnet hans til Sidkia.
And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah, his father's brother, king in place of Jehoiachin, changing his name to Zedekiah.
18 Eitt og tjuge år gamall var Sidkia då han vart konge; elleve år rådde han i Jerusalem. Mor hans heitte Hamital Jirmejadotter, frå Libna.
Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he was king in Jerusalem for eleven years; his mother's name was Hamutal, daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
19 Han gjorde det som vondt var i Herrens augo, plent som Jojakim.
He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, as Jehoiakim had done.
20 Det var for Herrens harm skuld det gjekk so med Jerusalem og Juda, til dess han støytte deim burt frå si åsyn. Sidkia fall ifrå Babel-kongen.
And because of the wrath of the Lord, this came about in Jerusalem and Judah, till he had sent them all away from before him: and Zedekiah took up arms against the king of Babylon.
