Anden Kongebog 24
1 I hans Dage drog Kong Nebukadnezar af Balel op, og Jojakim underkastede sig ham; men efter tre Års Forløb faldt han fra ham igen.
In his dayes came Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel vp, and Iehoiakim became his seruant three yeere: afterwarde he turned, and rebelled against him.
2 Da sendte HERREN kaldæiske, aramaiske, moabitiske og ammonitiske Strejfskarer imod ham; dem sendte han ind i Juda for at ødelægge det efter det Ord, HERREN havde talet ved sine Tjenere Profeterne.
And the Lord sent against him bandes of the Caldees, and bands of the Aramites, and bands of the Moabites, and bandes of the Ammonites, and he sent them against Iudah to destroy it, according to the worde of the Lord, which he spake by his seruants the Prophets.
3 Det skyldtes ene og alene HERRENs Vrede, at Juda blev drevet bort fra HERRENs Åsyn; det var for Manasses Synders Skyld, for alt det, han havde gjort,
Surely by the commandement of the Lord came this vpon Iudah, that he might put them out of his sight for the sinnes of Manasseh, according to all that he did,
4 også for det uskyldige Blods Skyld, som han havde udgydt så meget af, at han havde fyldt Jerusalem dermed; det vilde HERREN ikke tilgive.
And for the innocent blood that he shed, (for he filled Ierusalem with innocent blood) therefore the Lord would not pardon it.
5 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Jojakim, alt, hvad han udførte, står jo optegnet i Judas Kongers Krønike.
Concerning the rest of the actes of Iehoiakim, and all that he did, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kinges of Iudah?
6 Så lagde Jojakim sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre; og hans Søn Jojakin blev Kooge i hans Sted.
So Iehoiakim slept with his fathers, and Iehoiachin his sonne reigned in his steade.
7 Men Ægypterkongen drog ikke mere ud af sit Land, thi Babels Konge havde taget alt, hvad der tilhørte Ægypterkongen fra Ægyptens Bæk til Eufratfloden.
And the King of Egypt came no more out of his lande: for the King of Babel had taken from the riuer of Egypt, vnto the riuer Perath, all that pertained to the King of Egypt.
8 Jojakin var atten År gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede tre Måneder i Jerusålem. Hans Moder hed Nehusjta og var en Datter af Elnatan fra Jerusalem.
Iehoiachin was eighteene yere old, when he beganne to reigne, and reigned in Ierusalem three moneths. His mothers name also was Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan of Ierusalem.
9 Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENs Øjne, ganske som hans Fader.
And he did euill in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father had done.
10 På den Tid drog Kong Nebukadnezar af Babels Folk op mod Jerusalem, og Byen blev belejret.
In that time came the seruants of Nebuchad-nezzar king of Babel vp against Ierusalem: so the citie was besieged.
11 Kong Nebukadnezar af Babel kom til Jerusalem, medens hans Folk belejrede det.
And Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel came against the citie, and his seruants did besiege it.
12 Da overgav Kong Jojakin af Juda sig med sin Modet, sine Tjenere, Øverster og Hoffolk til Babels Konge, og han tog imod ham; det var i Kongen af Babels ottende Regeringsår.
Then Iehoiachin the king of Iudah came out against the King of Babel, he, and his mother and his seruants, and his princes, and his eunuches: and the King of Babel tooke him in the eyght yeere of his reigne.
13 Og som HERREN havde forudsagt, førte han alle Skattene i HERRENs Hus og Kongens Palads bort og brød Guldet af alle de Ting, Kong Salomo af Israel havde ladet lave i HERRENs Helligdom.
And he caryed out thence all the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the Kings house, and brake all the vessels of gold, which Salomon King of Israel had made in the Temple of the Lord, as the Lord had saide.
14 Og han førte hele Jerusalem, alle Øversterne og de velhavende, 10.000 i Tal, bort som Fanger, ligeledes Grovsmede og Låsesmede, så der ikke blev andre tilbage end de fattigste af Folket fra Landet.
And he caryed away all Ierusalem, and all the princes, and all the strong men of warre, euen ten thousande into captiuitie, and all the workemen, and cunning men: so none remained sauing the poore people of the lande.
15 Så førte han Jojakin som Fange til Babel, også Kongens Moder og Hustruer, hans Hoffolk og alle de højtstående i Landet førte han som Fanger fra Jerusalem til Babel;
And he caryed away Iehoiachin into Babel, and the Kings mother, and the Kinges wiues, and his eunuches, and the mightie of the lande caryed he away into captiuitie from Ierusalem to Babel,
16 fremdeles alle de velbavende, 7000 i Tal, Grovsmedene og Låsesmedene, 1800 i Tal, alle øvede Krigere - dem førte Babels Konge som Fanger til Babel.
And al the men of warre, euen seuen thousand, and carpenters, and lockesmithes a thousande: all that were strong and apt for warre, did the King of Babel bring to Babel captiues.
17 Men i Jojakins Sted gjorde Babels Konge hans Farbroder Mattanja til Konge, og han ændrede hans Navn til Zedekias.
And the King of Babel made Mattaniah his vncle King in his steade, and changed his name to Zedekiah.
18 Zedekias var een og tyve År gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede elleve År i Jerusalem. Hans Moder hed Hamital og var en Datter af Jirmeja fra Libna.
Zedekiah was one and twentie yeere olde, when he began to reigne, and he reigned eleuen yeeres in Ierusalem. His mothers name also was Hamutal the daughter of Ieremiah of Libnah.
19 Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENs Øjne, ganske som Jojakim.
And he did euill in the sight of the Lord, according to all that Iehoiakim had done.
20 Thi for HERRENs Vredes Skyld timedes dette Jerusalem og Juda, og til sidst stødte han dem bort fra sit Åsyn. Og Zedekias faldt fra Babels Konge.
Therefore certainly the wrath of the Lord was against Ierusalem and Iudah vntill he cast them out of his sight. And Zedekiah rebelled against the King of Babel.
