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 Jehoiakim's days, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon attacked Judah; Jehoiakim became his servant for three years. Then Jehoiakim turned back and rebelled against Nebuchadnezzar.
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.
Yahweh sent against Jehoiakim bands of Chaldeans, Arameans, Moabites, and Ammonites; he sent them against Judah to destroy it. This was in conformity with the word of Yahweh that had been spoken through 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,
It was certainly at the mouth of Yahweh that this came on Judah, to remove them out of his sight, because of the sins of Manasseh, all that 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 also because of the innocent blood that he shed, for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood. Yahweh was not willing to pardon that.
5 Det som elles er å fortelja um Jojakim og alt det han gjorde, det er uppskrive i krønikeboki åt Juda-kongarne.
As for the other matters concerning Jehoiakim, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Judah?
6 Jojakim lagde seg til kvile hjå federne sine, og Jojakin, son hans, vart konge i staden hans.
Jehoiakim slept with his ancestors, 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.
The king of Egypt did not attack any more out of his land, because the king of Babylon had conquered all the lands that had been controlled by the king of Egypt, from the brook of Egypt to the Euphrates River.
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 began to reign; he reigned in Jerusalem three months. His mother's name was Nehushta; she was the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.
9 Han gjorde det som vondt var i Herrens augo, plent som far hans.
He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh; he did all that his father had done.
10 På den tid drog Babel-kongen Nebukadnessars folk upp mot Jerusalem, og byen vart kringsett.
At that time the army of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon attacked Jerusalem and besieged the city.
11 Kong Nebukadnessar kom sjølv til byen, medan herfolket hans kringsette honom.
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to the city while his soldiers were besieging it,
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.
and Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, his mother, his servants, his princes, and his officers. The king of Babylon captured him in the eighth year of his own reign.
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.
Nebuchadnezzar took out from there all the valuable things in the house of Yahweh, and those in the king's palace. He cut into pieces all the golden objects that Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of Yahweh, as Yahweh had said would happen.
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.
He took into exile all Jerusalem, all the leaders, and all the fighting men, ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and the smiths. No one was left except the poorest people in the land.
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;
Nebuchadnezzar took Jehoiachin into exile at Babylon, as well as the king's mother, wives, officers, and the chief men of the land. He took them into exile 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.
All the fighting men, seven thousand in number, and one thousand craftsmen and blacksmiths, all of them fit for fighting—the king of Babylon brought these men into exile at Babylon.
17 Og Babel-kongen sette Mattanja, farbror hans, til konge i staden hans, og brigda namnet hans til Sidkia.
The king of Babylon made Mattaniah, Jehoiachin's father's brother, king in his place, and changed 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 began to reign; he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Hamutal; she was the daughter of Jeremiah from Libnah.
19 Han gjorde det som vondt var i Herrens augo, plent som Jojakim.
He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh; he did all that 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.
Through Yahweh's anger, all these events happened in Jerusalem and Judah, until he drove them out of his presence. Then Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
