2 Kongebok 25
1 I det niande styringsåret hans, tiande dagen i tiande månaden, kom Nebukadnessar, Babel-kongen, med heile heren sin til Jerusalem, lægra seg utanfor byen og bygde skansar rundt ikring honom.
It happened in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and camped against it; and they built forts against it around it.
2 Byen vart kringsett til Sidkias ellevte styringsår.
So the city was besieged to the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
3 Den niande dagen i månaden røynde svolten hardt på i byen, og landsfolket hadde inkje mat.
On the ninth day of the fourth month the famine was severe in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.
4 Då vart byen teken. Og alt stridsfolket rømde um natti gjenom porten i dubbelmuren ved kongshagen, medan kaldæarane låg rundt ikring byen. Dei tok leidi til Moarne.
Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king's garden (now the Chaldeans were against the city around it); and they went by the way of the Arabah.
5 Men kaldæarheren forfylgde kongen og nådde honom att på Moarne ved Jeriko. Alt herfolket sprang frå honom og spreiddest.
But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.
6 Dei fanga då kongen og førde honom upp til Ribla til Babel-kongen. Der fekk han sin dom.
Then they took the king, and carried him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they gave judgment on him.
7 Sønerne åt Sidkia drap dei medan han såg på det; so stakk han ut augo på Sidkia, batt honom med koparlekkjor og førde honom til Babel.
They killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him in fetters, and carried him to Babylon.
8 Sjuande dagen i den femte månaden i det nittande styringsåret åt Nebukadnessar, Babel-kongen, kom ein av tenarane åt Babel-kongen, livvakthovdingen Nebuzaradan, til Jerusalem.
Now in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, to Jerusalem.
9 Han brende upp Herrens hus og kongsgarden. Ja, alle husi i Jerusalem, serleg alle storfolk-hus, sette han eld på.
He burnt the house of the LORD, and the king's house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, burnt he with fire.
10 Og murarne ikring Jerusalem vart nedrivne av heile den kaldæarheren som livvakthovdingen hadde med seg.
All the army of the Chaldeans, who were with the captain of the guard, broke down the walls around Jerusalem.
11 Resten av folket som var att i byen, og svikararne som hadde gjenge yver til Babel-kongen, og resten av ålmugen, vart burtførd av Nebuzaradan, livvakthovdingen.
Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive the residue of the people who were left in the city, and those who fell away, who fell to the king of Babylon, and the residue of the multitude.
12 Nokre av fatigfolket i landet let han vera att til å arbeida i vinhagarne og på åkrarne.
But the captain of the guard left some of the poorest of the land to work the vineyards and fields.
13 Koparsulorne i Herrens hus, fotstykki og koparhavet i Herrens hus, braut kaldæarane sund, og tok koparen med seg til Babel.
The Chaldeans broke up the pillars of bronze that were in the house of the LORD and the bases and the bronze sea that were in the house of the LORD, and carried the bronze pieces to Babylon.
14 Og dei tok oskefati og eldskuflerne og ljossakserne og skålerne og alle kopargogner som dei hadde til gudstenesta.
They took away the pots, the shovels, the snuffers, the spoons, and all the vessels of bronze with which they ministered.
15 Livvakthovdingen tok og glodpannorne og blodbollarne, og alt som var av skirt gull og av skirt sylv.
The captain of the guard took away the fire pans, the basins, that which was of gold, in gold, and that which was of silver, in silver.
16 Tvo sulor og eit hav og fotstykki som Salomo hadde laga åt Herrens hus - koparen i alle desse gognerne var ikkje vegande.
The two pillars, the one sea, and the bases, which Solomon had made for the house of the LORD, the bronze of all these vessels was without weight.
17 Den eine sula var attan alner høg, og ovanpå den var det eit koparhovud, og hovudet var tri alner høgt; rundt ikring hovudet var det eit net og granateple, alt av kopar; og sameleis var det med netet på den andre sula.
The height of the one pillar was thirty-one feet, and a capital of bronze was on it; and the height of the capital was eight feet seven inches, with network and pomegranates on the capital around it, all of bronze: and like to these had the second pillar with network.
18 Livvakthovdingen tok øvstepresten Seraja og næst-øvste presten Sefanja og dei tri dørstokkvaktarane,
The captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief cohen, and Zephaniah the second cohen, and the three keepers of the threshold:
19 og frå byen tok han ein hirdmann som uppsynsmann yver herfolket, og fem som han råka på i byen av næmaste lagsfolket hjå kongen, dessutan skrivaren åt herhovdingen, han som skreiv ut landsfolket til hertenesta, og seksti andre landsfolk han råka på i byen.
and out of the city he took an officer who was set over the men of war; and five men of those who saw the king's face, who were found in the city; and the scribe, the captain of the army, who mustered the people of the land; and sixty men of the people of the land, who were found in the city.
20 Alle desse tok livvakthovdingen Nebuzaradan med seg til Ribla til Babel-kongen.
Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.
21 Og Babel-kongen slo deim i hel der i Ribla i Hamatlandet. Soleis vart Juda burtført frå landet sitt.
The king of Babylon struck them, and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away captive out of his land.
22 Babel-kongen Nebukadnessar sette Gedalja, son åt Ahikam Safansson, til jarl yver det folket som var att i Judalandet, dei som han let vera att.
As for the people who were left in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, even over them he made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, governor.
23 Då alle herhovdingarne og hermennerne deira fekk greida på at Babel-kongen hadde sett inn Gedalja, kom dei til Gedalja i Mispa: Ismael Netanjason, og Johanan Kareahsson og Seraja Tanhumetson frå Netofa og Ja’asanja, son åt ein mann frå Ma’aka, dei og mennerne deira.
Now when all the captains of the forces, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of the Maacathite, they and their men.
24 Gedalja gjorde eid til deim og hermennerne deira, og sagde med deim: «Ver ikkje rædde for kaldæartenarane! Set bu i landet, og gjev dykk under Babel-kongen, so vil det ganga dykk vel.»
Gedaliah swore to them and to their men, and said to them, "Do not be afraid because of the servants of the Chaldeans. Dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you."
25 Men i den sjuande månaden kom Ismael, son åt Netanja Elisamason, ein mann av kongsætti, med ti mann og slo i hel Gedalja og dei jødar og kaldæarar som var hjå honom i Mispa.
But it happened in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the royal family came, and ten men with him, and struck Gedaliah, so that he died, and the Jews and the Chaldeans that were with him at Mizpah.
26 So tok herhovdingarne og heile folket, unge og gamle, og gav seg på veg ut til Egyptarland; dei var rædde for kaldæarane.
All the people, both small and great, and the captains of the forces, arose, and came to Egypt; for they were afraid of the Chaldeans.
27 I det sju og trettiande året etter Juda-kongen Jojakin var burtførd, sju og tjugande dagen i tolvte månaden, gav Evil-Merodak, Babel-kongen - same året som han vart konge - Jojakin, Juda-kongen, uppreisnad og fria honom or fangehuset.
It happened in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, that Awil-Marduk king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison;
28 Han helsa honom venleg med han og gav honom fremste sessen millom dei kongarne som var hjå honom i Babel.
and he spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings who were with him in Babylon,
29 Han fekk leggja av seg fangebunaden, og gjekk kvar dag til kongens bord, so lenge han livde.
and changed his prison garments. Jehoiachin ate bread before him continually all the days of his life:
30 Kost og tæring naut han dagvisst på kongens kostnad, til kvar dag det han trong for dagen, heile si livetid.
and for his allowance, there was a continual allowance given him of the king, every day a portion, all the days of his life.
