2 Krönikeboken 36
1 Och folket i landena tog Joahas, Josia son, och gjorde honom till Konung i hans faders stad i Jerusalem.
Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz 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.
Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months 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 an 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 Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. And Necho took Jehoahaz his brother, and carried 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.
Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight 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 king of Babylon, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon.
7 Och förde NebucadNezar någor Herrans hus kärile till Babel, och satte dem uti sitt tempel i Babel.
Nebuchadnezzar also carried of the vessels of the house of the LORD to Babylon, and put 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.
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and his abominations which he did, and that which was found in him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah: and Jehoiachin his son reigned 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.
Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight 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 when the year had ended, king Nebuchadnezzar sent, and brought him to Babylon, with the precious vessels of the house of the LORD, and 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;
Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned eleven years 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 that which was evil in the sight of the LORD his God, and humbled not himself before Jeremiah the prophet speaking from the mouth 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 he also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart from turning to the LORD 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.
Moreover all the chief of the priests, and the people, transgressed very much after all the abominations of the heathen; and polluted 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 God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising up early, and sending; 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 the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath 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.
Therefore he brought upon them the king of the Chaldees, who slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or maiden, old man, or him that stooped for age: he gave them all 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, great and small, and the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king, and of his princes; all these he brought 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 burnt all its palaces with fire, and destroyed all its precious vessels.
20 Och de som för svärdet undsluppo, fördes till Babel, och vordo hans och hans söners trälar, tilldess riket kom till de Perser;
And them that had escaped from the sword he carried away to Babylon; where they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia:
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 fulfil the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed its sabbaths: for as long as it lay desolate it kept sabbath, to fulfil seventy years.
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:
Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD spoken by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in 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 saith Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth hath the LORD God of heaven given me; and he hath charged me to build him an house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Who is there among you of all his people? The LORD his God be with him, and let him go up.
