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, on the tenth of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon came, he, and all his host, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it; and they built a mound all around about it.
2 Alltså vardt staden belagd, allt intill ellofte året af Konung Zedekia rike.
And the city was put in a state of siege until the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
3 Men i nionde månadenom vardt hungren stark i stadenom, så att folket i landena hade intet äta.
And on the ninth of the month, when the 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.
The city was broken into, and all the men of war [fled] in the night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king's garden; [while the Chaldeans were all round about the city; ] and the people went the way toward the plain.
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 Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all his army were scattered from around him.
6 Men Konungen grepo de, och förde honom upp till Konungen af Babel till Riblath; och de sade en dom öfver honom.
And they seized the king, and brought him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they called him to account.
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 they slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and he blinded the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with fetters of brass, and carried 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;
And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, came Nebusaradan, the chief of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto 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; also, all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great man's house burnt he with fire.
10 Och hela de Chaldeers magt, som med hofmästarenom var, bröt omkull murarna, som omkring Jerusalem voro.
And the walls of Jerusalem round about did all the army of the Chaldeans that were with the captain of the guard tear down.
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 the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the deserters that had run over to the king of Babylon, with the remnant of the multitude, did Nebusaradan the captain of the guard lead away into exile;
12 Och af de ringesta i landena lät hofmästaren blifva till vingårdsmän, och åkermän.
But from the poorest of the land the captain of the guard left some to be vine-dressers 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 copper that were in the house of the Lord, and the bases, and the copper sea that was in the house of the Lord, did the Chaldeans break up, and they carried the copper thereof to Babylon.
14 Och grytor, skoflar, knifvar, skedar, och all kopparkärile, dermed man tjente, togo de bort.
And the pots, and the shovels, and the knives, and the spoons, and all the vessels of copper wherewith they ministered, took they away.
15 Dertill tog hofmästaren pannor och bäcken, hvad af guld och silfver var;
And the censers, and the bowls, the gold of the golden things, and the silver of the silver things, took the captain of the guard 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.
The two pillars, the one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made for the house of the Lord: the copper of all these vessels was too much to be weighed.
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.
Eighteen cubits was the height of the one pillar, and the capital upon it was copper; and the height of the capital was three cubits; and the wreathed work, and the pomegranates upon the capitals round about, were all of copper: and the same had the second pillar together with the wreathed work.
18 Och hofmästaren tog Presten Seraja af första skiftet, och Presten Zephania af det andra skiftet, och tre dörravaktare,
And the captain of the guard took Serayah the chief-priest, and Zephanyahu the second priest, and the three door-keepers;
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 he took one court-officer that was appointed over the men of war, and five men of those that could come into the king's presence, who were found in the city, and the scribe of the chief of the army, who ordered to the army the people of the land, and sixty men of the people of the land that were found in the city:
20 Dessa tog NebusarAdan hofmästaren, och förde dem till Konungen af Babel till Riblath.
And Nebusaradan the captain of the guard took these, and conducted them to the king of Babylon to Riblah;
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 put them to death at Riblah in the land of Chamath. So did Judah wander away into exile 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.
And as for the people that were left in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had left, he appointed over them Gedalyahu the son of Achikam, the son of Shaphan.
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 armies, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedalyahu, they came to Gedalyahu to Mizpah; even Ishma'el the son of Nethanyah, and Jochanan the son of Kareach, and Serayah the son of Tanchumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazanyahu the son of a Ma'achathite, 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 Gedalyahu swore to them, and to their men, and said unto them, Be not afraid of the servants of the Chaldeans: remain in the land, and serve the king of Babylon; and it will 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 happened in the seventh month, that there came Ishma'el the son of Nethanyah, the son of Elishama', of the seed royal, and ten men with him, and they smote Gedalyahu, so that he died, also the Jews and the Chaldeans that were with him at Mizpah.
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 then arose all the people, from small to great, and the captains of the armies, and went to Egypt; for they were afraid of the Chaldeans.
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 Jehoyachin the king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the seven and twentieth [day] of the month, that Evil-merodach the king of Babylon in the year that he became king did lift up the head of Jehoyachin the king of Judah out of the 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 set his chair above the chair 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 changed his prison garments: and he ate bread continually 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 his allowance was a continual allowance given him by the king, the necessary ration for the day on its day, all the days of his life.
