2 Krönikeboken 36
1 Och folket i landena tog Joahas, Josia son, och gjorde honom till Konung i hans faders stad i Jerusalem.
And the people of the land took Jehoachaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in his father's stead in Jerusalem.
2 Tre och tjugu åra gammal var Joahas, då han Konung vardt och regerade i tre månader i Jerusalem.
Twenty and three years old was Joachaz when he became king, and three months did he reign in Jerusalem.
3 Ty Konungen i Egypten satte honom af i Jerusalem, och beskattade landet till hundrade centener silfver, och en centener guld.
And the king of Egypt deposed him at Jerusalem, and imposed a fine on the land of a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
4 Och Konungen i Egypten gjorde Eliakim, hans broder, till Konung öfver Juda och Jerusalem, och förvände hans namn Jojakim; men Necho tog hans broder Joahas, och förde honom uti Egypten.
And the king of Egypt made Elyakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoyakim. And Joachaz his brother did Necho take away, and bring him to Egypt.
5 Fem och tjugu åra gammal var Jojakim, då han Konung vardt; och regerade ellofva år i Jerusalem, och gjorde det ondt var för Herranom sinom Gud.
Twenty and five years old was Jehoyakim when he became king, and eleven years did he reign in Jerusalem: and he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord his God.
6 Och NebucadNezar, Konungen i Babel, drog upp emot honom, och band honom med kedjor, att han skulle föra honom till Babel.
Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and he bound him with fetters, to carry him away to Babylon.
7 Och förde NebucadNezar någor Herrans hus kärile till Babel, och satte dem uti sitt tempel i Babel.
And some of the vessels of the house of the Lord did Nebuchadnezzar carry to Babylon, and he placed them in his temple at Babylon.
8 Hvad nu mer af Jojakim sägande är, och hans styggelse, som han gjorde, och med honom funnen vordo, si, de äro skrifne uti Israels och Juda Konungars bok: och hans son Jojachin vardt Konung i hans stad.
And the rest of the acts of Jehoyakim, and his abominable deeds which he did, and that which was found concerning him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. And Jehoyachin his son became king in his stead.
9 Åtta åra gammal var Jojachin, då han Konung vardt, och regerade i tre månader och tio dagar i Jerusalem, och gjorde det Herranom illa behagade.
Eight years old was Jehoyachin when he became king, and three months and ten days did he reign in Jerusalem: and he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord.
10 Då nu året omgick, sände NebucadNezar, och lät hemta honom till Babel, med de kosteliga tygen i Herrans hus; och man gjorde Zedekia hans broder till Konung öfver Juda och Jerusalem.
And with the expiration of the year did king Nebuchadnezzar send and had him brought to Babylon, with the costly vessels of the house of the Lord: and he made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem,
11 Ett och tjugu åra gammal var Zedekia, då han Konung vardt; och regerade ellofva år i Jerusalem;
Twenty and one years old was Zedekiah when he became king, and eleven years did he reign in Jerusalem.
12 Och gjorde det ondt var för Herranom sinom Gud, och ödmjukade sig intet för den Propheten Jeremia, som talade utaf Herrans mun.
And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord his God: he humbled himself not before Jeremiah the prophet, according to the order of the Lord.
13 Dertill vardt han affällig ifrå NebucadNezar, Konungenom i Babel, hvilken af honom en ed vid Gud tagit hade; och vardt halsstyf, och förstockade sitt hjerta, så att han intet omvände sig till Herran Israels Gud.
And also against king Nebuchadnezzar did he rebel, who had made him swear by God; but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart so as not to return unto the Lord the God of Israel.
14 Sammalunda alle öfverstarna ibland Presterna, samt med folket, syndade svårliga, och förtogo sig med allahanda Hedningastyggelse, och orenade Herrans hus, det han helgat hade i Jerusalem.
Also all the chiefs of the priests and the people committed manifold trespasses, like all the abominable acts of the [foreign] nations: and they defiled the house of the Lord which he had hallowed in Jerusalem.
15 Och Herren deras fäders Gud sände till dem med sin bådskap bittida; ty han skonade sitt folk och sina boning.
And the Lord the God of their fathers sent to them by means of his messengers, making [them] rise early, and sending [them]: because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling-place;
16 Men de begabbade Guds bådskap, och föraktade hans ord, och bespottade hans Propheter, intilldess Herrans grymhet växte öfver hans folk, att dem nu intet mer stod till botande.
But they mocked at the messengers of God, and despised his words, and scorned his prophets, until the fury of the Lord arose against his people, till there was no remedy.
17 Ty han förde öfver dem de Chaldeers Konung, och lät dräpa deras unga män med svärd, uti deras helgedoms huse, och skonade hvarken piltar eller pigor, hvarken åldrigom eller utgamlom; alla gaf han dem i hans hand.
And he brought over them the king of the Chaldeans, who slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or virgin, the old man, and the aged: all did he give up into his hand.
18 Och all tyg i Guds hus, stor och små, håfvorna i Herrans hus, och Konungens och hans Förstars håfvor; allt lät han föra till Babel.
And all the vessels of the house of God, the great and the small, and the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king and of his princes, —all these did he carry to Babylon.
19 Och de brände upp Guds hus, och bröto ned murarna i Jerusalem; och all deras palats brände de upp med eld, så att all deras kosteliga ting blefvo förfaren.
And they burnt the house of God, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem, and all her palaces they burnt with fire, and all her costly vessels they gave up to destruction.
20 Och de som för svärdet undsluppo, fördes till Babel, och vordo hans och hans söners trälar, tilldess riket kom till de Perser;
And those that had escaped from the sword did he carry into exile to Babylon: and they were servants to him and to his sons until the kingdom of Persia came to the government:
21 På det att fullkomnas skulle Herrans ord genom Jeremia mun, tilldess att landet hade fyllest i sina Sabbather; förty hele tiden af förderfvelsen var Sabbath, intilldess sjutio år fullkomnade vordo.
To fulfill the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had satisfied its sabbaths: all the days of its desolation it rested, till seventy years were completed.
22 Men i första årena Cores, Konungens i Persien, på det fullkomnadt skulle varda Herrans ord, taladt genom Jeremia mun, uppväckte Herren Cores anda, Konungens i Persien, att han lät utropa öfver allt sitt rike, ja ock med bref, och säga:
And in the first year of Cyrus the king of Persia, at the completion of the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah, did the Lord stir up the spirit of Cyrus the king of Persia, so that he caused a proclamation to be made throughout all his kingdom, and also by means of writing, saying,
23 Detta säger Cores, Konungen i Persien: Herren Gud af himmelen hafver gifvit mig all rike i landen, och hafver befallt mig bygga sig ett hus i Jerusalem i Juda; hvilken som nu ibland eder är af hans folk, med honom vare Herren hans Gud, och drage ditupp.
Thus hath said Cyrus the king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth hath the Lord the God of heaven given me, and he hath charged me to build him a house 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.
