2 Kings 24
1 In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant three years. Then he turned and rebelled against him.
I hans tid drog Babel-kongen Nebukadnessar upp, og Jojakim vart lydkongen hans. Men tri år etter fall han ifrå honom att.
2 The LORD sent against him bands of the Chaldeans, bands of the Syrians, bands of the Moabites, and bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the LORD’s word which he spoke by his servants the prophets.
Herren sende då imot honom kaldæiske, syriske, moabitiske og ammonitiske røvarflokkar. Han sende deim mot Juda til å øyda landet, etter Herrens ord, som han hadde tala ved tenarane sine, profetarne.
3 Surely at the commandment of the LORD this came on Judah, to remove them out of his sight for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did,
Ja, på Herrens bod gjekk det so med Juda at dei vart burtstøytte frå hans åsyn, for Manasses synder skuld, for alt det han hadde gjort,
4 and also for the innocent blood that he shed; for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and the LORD would not pardon.
soleis og for det skuldlause blodet han let renna, då han fyllte Jerusalem med skuldlaust blod; det vilde Herren ikkje tilgjeva.
5 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Det som elles er å fortelja um Jojakim og alt det han gjorde, det er uppskrive i krønikeboki åt Juda-kongarne.
6 So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers, and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place.
Jojakim lagde seg til kvile hjå federne sine, og Jojakin, son hans, vart konge i staden hans.
7 The king of Egypt didn’t come out of his land any more; for the king of Babylon had taken, from the brook of Egypt to the river Euphrates, all that belonged to the king of Egypt.
No for ikkje egyptarkongen ut frå landet sitt meir; for Babel-kongen hadde teke alt det landet egyptarkongen åtte frå Egyptarlands-bekken til elvi Frat.
8 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. His mother’s name was Nehushta the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.
Attan år gamall var Jojakin då han vart konge, tri månader rådde han i Jerusalem. Mor hans heitte Nehusta Elnatansdotter, frå Jerusalem.
9 He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, according to all that his father had done.
Han gjorde det som vondt var i Herrens augo, plent som far hans.
10 At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up to Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.
På den tid drog Babel-kongen Nebukadnessars folk upp mot Jerusalem, og byen vart kringsett.
11 Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to the city while his servants were besieging it,
Kong Nebukadnessar kom sjølv til byen, medan herfolket hans kringsette honom.
12 and Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon—he, his mother, his servants, his princes, and his officers; and the king of Babylon captured him in the eighth year of his reign.
Juda-kongen Jojakin gav seg då yver til Babel-kongen med mor si og tenarane og hovdingarne og hirdmennerne sine; og Babel-kongen tok honom til fange i åttande styringsår.
13 He carried out from there all the treasures of the LORD’s house and the treasures of the king’s house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold which Solomon king of Israel had made in the LORD’s temple, as the LORD had said.
Han førde burt derifrå alle skattar i Herrens hus og i kongsgarden. Han braut laust gullet av alle gognerne som Salomo, Israels konge, hadde laga åt Herrens tempel, soleis som Herren hadde sagt.
14 He carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valor, even ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and the smiths. No one remained except the poorest people of the land.
Han førde burt heile Jerusalem, alle hovdingarne og godseigarne, ti tusund fangar, og alle grovsmedar og låssmedar. Det vart ikkje att anna enn fatigfolk i landet.
15 He carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, with the king’s mother, the king’s wives, his officers, and the chief men of the land. He carried them into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon.
Han førde Jojakin burt til Babel; og kongsmori og kongskonorne og hirdmennerne hans og storfolket i landet førde han fangar frå Jerusalem til Babel;
16 All the men of might, even seven thousand, and the craftsmen and the smiths one thousand, all of them strong and fit for war, even them the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon.
og alle godseigarane: sju tusund, grovsmedar og låssmedar: eit tusund, alle i hop djerve hermenner, deim førde Babel-kongen burt til Babel.
17 The king of Babylon made Mattaniah, Jehoiachin’s father’s brother, king in his place, and changed his name to Zedekiah.
Og Babel-kongen sette Mattanja, farbror hans, til konge i staden hans, og brigda namnet hans til Sidkia.
18 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
Eitt og tjuge år gamall var Sidkia då han vart konge; elleve år rådde han i Jerusalem. Mor hans heitte Hamital Jirmejadotter, frå Libna.
19 He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
Han gjorde det som vondt var i Herrens augo, plent som Jojakim.
20 For through the anger of the LORD, this happened in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence. Then Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
Det var for Herrens harm skuld det gjekk so med Jerusalem og Juda, til dess han støytte deim burt frå si åsyn. Sidkia fall ifrå Babel-kongen.
