2 Kungaboken 25
1 Och det begaf sig i nionde årena af hans rike, på tionde dagen i tionde månadenom, kom NebucadNezar, Konungen i Babel, med all sin magt för Jerusalem, och de lägrade sig der före, och byggde skansar allt omkring.
And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, the tenth day of the month, that Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came, he and all his army against Jerusalem: and they surrounded it: and raised works round about it.
2 Alltså vardt staden belagd, allt intill ellofte året af Konung Zedekia rike.
And the city was shut up and besieged till the eleventh year of king Sedecias,
3 Men i nionde månadenom vardt hungren stark i stadenom, så att folket i landena hade intet äta.
The ninth day of the month: and a famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land.
4 Då föll man in i staden, och alle krigsmän flydde om nattena, den vägen ifrå porten, som går emellan de två murar åt Konungsträgården. Och de Chaldeer lågo omkring staden. Och han flydde den vägen åt hedmarkena.
And a breach was made into the city: and all the men of war fled in the night between the two walls by the king’s garden, (now the Chaldees besieged the city round about, ) and Sedecias fled by the way that leadeth to the plains of the wilderness.
5 Men de Chaldeers magt jagade efter Konungen, och grepo honom på hedmarkene vid Jericho. Och alle krigsmännerna, som när honom voro, vordo förskingrade ifrå honom.
And the army of the Chaldees pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all the warriors that were with him were scattered, and left him:
6 Men Konungen grepo de, och förde honom upp till Konungen af Babel till Riblath; och de sade en dom öfver honom.
So they took the king, and brought him to the king of Babylon to Reblatha, and he gave judgment upon him.
7 Och de slogo Zedekia barn ihjäl för hans ögon, och stungo Zedekia hans ögon ut, och bundo honom med kedjor, och förde honom till Babel.
And he slew the sons of Sedecias before his face, and he put out his eyes, and bound him with chains, and brought him to Babylon.
8 På sjunde dagen i femte månadenom, det är nittonde året NebucadNezars, Konungens i Babel, kom NebusarAdan hofmästaren, Konungens tjenare i Babel, till Jerusalem;
In the fifth month, the seventh day of the month, that is, the nineteenth year of the king of Babylon, came Nabuzardan commander of the army, a servant of the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem.
9 Och uppbrände Herrans hus, och Konungshuset, och all hus i Jerusalem, och all stor hus brände han upp med eld.
And he burnt the house of the Lord, and the king’s house, and the houses of Jerusalem, and every house he burnt with fire.
10 Och hela de Chaldeers magt, som med hofmästarenom var, bröt omkull murarna, som omkring Jerusalem voro.
And all the army of the Chaldees, which was with the commander of the troops, broke down the walls of Jerusalem round about.
11 Men det andra folket, som qvart var i stadenom, och de som till Konungen af Babel fallne voro, och det andra meniga folket, förde NebusarAdan hofmästaren bort.
And Nabuzardan the commander of the army, carried away the rest of the people that remained in the city, and the fugitives that had gone over to the king of Babylon, and the remnant of the common people.
12 Och af de ringesta i landena lät hofmästaren blifva till vingårdsmän, och åkermän.
But of the poor of the land he left some dressers of vines and husbandmen.
13 Men de kopparstodar i Herrans hus, och stolarna, och kopparhafvet, som i Herrans hus var, slogo de Chaldeer sönder, och förde kopparen till Babel.
And the pillars of brass that were in the temple of the Lord, and the bases, and the sea of brass which was in the house of the Lord, the Chaldees broke in pieces, and carried all the brass of them to Babylon.
14 Och grytor, skoflar, knifvar, skedar, och all kopparkärile, dermed man tjente, togo de bort.
They took away also the pots of brass, and the mazers, and the forks, and the cups, and the mortars, and all the vessels of brass with which they ministered.
15 Dertill tog hofmästaren pannor och bäcken, hvad af guld och silfver var;
Moreover also the censers, and the bowls, such as were of gold in gold, and such as were of silver in silver, the general of the army took away.
16 Två stodar, ett haf, och de stolar, som Salomo hade göra låtit till Herrans hus; kopparen af all denna tygen stod icke till vägandes.
That is, two pillars, one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made in the temple of the Lord: the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
17 Aderton alnar hög var en stoden, och knappen derpå var ock af koppar, och tre alnar hög; och gjordarne, och granatäplen allt omkring knappen, var ock allt af koppar; vid samma sättet var ock den andre stoden med gjordar.
One pillar was eighteen cubits high, and the chapiter of brass which was upon it was three cubits high: and the network, and the pomegranates that were upon the chapiter of the pillar, were all of brass: and the second pillar had the like adorning.
18 Och hofmästaren tog Presten Seraja af första skiftet, och Presten Zephania af det andra skiftet, och tre dörravaktare,
And the general of the army took Seraias the chief priest, and Sophonias the second priest, and three doorkeepers.
19 Och en kamerer utu stadenom, som öfver krigsmännerna satt var, och fem män, som allstädes hade ståndit för Konungenom, och i stadenom funne voro, och Sopher, härhöfvitsmannen, som folket i landena strida lärde, och sextio män af landsfolkena, som i stadenom funne voro.
And out of the city one eunuch, who was captain over the men of war: and five men of them that had stood before the king, whom he found in the city, and Sopher the captain of the army who exercised the young soldiers of the people of the land: and threescore men of the common people, who were found in the city.
20 Dessa tog NebusarAdan hofmästaren, och förde dem till Konungen af Babel till Riblath.
These Nabuzardan the general of the army took away, and carried them to the king of Babylon to Reblatha.
21 Och Konungen i Babel slog dem ihjäl i Riblath, i de landena Hamath. Alltså vardt Juda bortförd utu sitt land.
And the king of Babylon smote them, and slew them at Reblatha in the land of Emath: so Juda was carried away out of their land.
22 Men öfver det folk, som qvart blef i Juda land, som NebucadNezar, Konungen i Babel, qvart blifva lät, satte han Gedalja, Ahikams son, Saphans sons.
But over the people that remained in the land of Juda, which Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon had left, he gave the government to Godolias the son of Ahicam the son of Saphan.
23 Då nu allt krigsfolkets höfvitsmän och männerna hörde, att Konungen af Babel hade uppsatt Gedalja, kommo de till Gedalja i Mizpa, nämliga Ismael, Nethania son, och Johanan, Kareahs son, och Seraja, Thanhumeths son, den Netophathiten, och Jaesania, Maachati son, samt med deras män.
And when all the captains of the soldiers had heard this, they and the men that were with them, to wit, that the king of Babylon had made Godolias governor, they came to Godolias to Maspha, Ismael the son of Nathanias, and Johanan the son of Caree, and Saraia the son of Thanehumeth the Netophathite, and Jezonias the son of Maachathi, they and their men.
24 Och Gedalja svor dem, och deras män, och sade till dem: Frukter eder intet att vara de Chaldeers underdånar; blifver i landena, och varer Konungenom af Babel underdånige, så går eder väl.
And Godolias swore to them and to their men, saying: Be not afraid to serve the Chaldees: stay in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.
25 Men i sjunde månadenom kom Ismael, Nethania son, Elisama sons, utaf Konungsliga slägt, och tio män med honom, och slogo Gedalja ihjäl; dertill de Judar och Chaldeer, som med honom voro i Mizpa.
But it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ismael the son of Nathanias, the son of Elisama of the seed royal came, and ten men with him: and smote Godolias so that he died: and also the Jews and the Chaldees that were with him in Maspha.
26 Då reste sig upp allt folket, både små och store, och krigsöverstarna, och kommo in uti Egypten; förty de fruktade sig för de Chaldeer.
And all the people both little and great, and the captains of the soldiers, rising up went to Egypt, fearing the Chaldees.
27 Uti sjunde och tretionde årena, sedan Jojachin, Juda Konung, bortförd var, på sjunde och tjugonde dagen i tolfte månadenom, hof EvilMerodach, Konungen i Babel, uti första årena af sitt rike, Jojachins, Juda Konungs, hufvud upp utu fängslehuset;
And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Joachin king of Juda, in the twelfth month the seven and twentieth day of the month: Evilmerodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, lifted up the head of Joachin king of Juda out of prison.
28 Och talade vänliga med honom, och satte hans stol utöfver de Konungars stolar, som när honom voro i Babel;
And he spoke kindly to him: and he set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon.
29 Och förvandlade hans fängelsekläder; och han åt alltid inför honom i alla sina lifsdagar;
And he changed his garments which he had in prison, and he ate bread always before him, all the days of his life.
30 Och satte honom före hans del, den man honom alltid gifva skulle af Konungenom, hvar dag, så länge han lefde.
And he appointed him a continual allowance, which was also given him by the king day by day, all the days of his life.
