Jeremias 52
1 Zedekias var enogtyve 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 twenty-one years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Hamutal, daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
2 Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENs Øjne, ganske som Jojakim.
And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
3 Thi for HERRENs Vredes Skyld kom dette over Jerusalem og Juda, og til sidst stødte han dem bort fra sit Åsyn. Og Zedekias faldt fra Babels konge.
For, because the anger of Jehovah was against Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence, Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
4 I hans niende Regeringsår på den tiende Dag i den tiende Måned drog Kong Nebukadrezar af Babel da med hele sin Hær mod Jerusalem, og de belejrede det og byggede Belejringstårne imod det rundt omkring;
And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth of the month, [that] Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem; and they encamped against it, and built turrets against it round about.
5 og Belejringen varede til Kong Zedekiass ellevte Regeringsår.
And the city was besieged until the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
6 På den niende Dag i den fjerde Måned blev Hungersnøden hård i Byen, og Folket fra Landet havde ikke Brød. Da blev Byens Mur gennembrudt.
In the fourth month, on the ninth of the month, the famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land.
7 Alle krigsfolkene flygtede om Natten ud af Byen gennem Porten mellem de to Mure ved Kongens Have, medens Kaldæerne holdt Byen omringet, og de tog Vejen ad Arabalavningen til.
And the city was broken into: and all the men of war fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king's garden (now the Chaldeans were near the city round about); and they went the way toward the plain.
8 Men Kaldæernes Hær satte efter Kongen og indhentede ham på Jerikosletten, efter at hele hans Hær var blevet splittet til alle Sider.
And the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.
9 Så greb de Kongen og bragte ham op til Ribla i Hamats Land til Babels Konge, der fældede Dommen over ham.
And they took the king, and brought him up to the king of Babylon, unto Riblah in the land of Hamath, and he pronounced judgment upon him.
10 Hans Sønner lod han henrette i hans Påsyn, ligeledes lod han alle Judas Øverster henrette i Ribla;
And the king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes; and he slaughtered also all the princes of Judah in Riblah.
11 og på Zedekias selv lod Babels Konge Øjnene stikke ud; derpå lod han ham lægge i Kobberlænker, og således førte han ham til Babel; og han lod ham kaste i Fængsel, hvor han blev til sin Dødedag.
And he put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with chains of brass; and the king of Babylon carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison till the day of his death.
12 På den tiende Dag i den femte Måned, det var Babels Konge Nebukadrezars nittende Regeringsår, kom Nebuzaradan, Øversten for Livvagten, Babels konges Tjener, til Jerusalem.
And in the fifth month, on the tenth of the month, which was in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, Nebuzar-adan, captain of the body-guard, who stood before the king of Babylon, came unto Jerusalem;
13 Han satte Ild på HERRENs Hus og Kongens Palads og alle Husene i Jerusalem; på alle Stormændenes Huse satte han Ild;
and he burned the house of Jehovah, and the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem; and every great [man's] house he burned with fire.
14 og Murene om Jerusalem nedbrød hele kaldæernes Hær, som Øversten for Livvagten havde med sig.
And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were with the captain of the body-guard, broke down all the walls of Jerusalem round about.
15 De sidste Folk, som var tilbage i Byen, og Overløberne, der var gået over til Babels Konge, og de sidste Håndværkere førte Nebuzaradan, Øversten for Livvagten, bort.
And Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard carried away captive of the poorest sort of the people, and the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the deserters that had deserted to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude.
16 Men nogle af de fattigste af Folket fra Landet lod Nebuzaradan, Øversten for Livvagten, blive tilbage som Vingårdsmænd og Agerdyrkere,
But Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard left of the poor of the land for vinedressers and for husbandmen.
17 Kobbersøjlerne i HERRENs Hus, Stellene og Kobberhavet i HERRENs Hus slog Kaldæerne i Stykker og førte Kobberet til Babel.
And the brazen pillars that were in the house of Jehovah, and the bases, and the brazen sea that was in the house of Jehovah, the Chaldeans broke up, and carried all the brass thereof to Babylon.
18 Karrene, Skovlene, knivene og Kanderne og alle Kobbersagerne, som brugtes ved Tjenesten, røvede de;
The pots also, and the shovels, and the knives, and the bowls, and the cups, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, they took away.
19 også Fadene, Panderne, Skålene, Karrene, Lysestagerne, Kanderne og Offerskålene, der helt var af Guld eller Sølv, røvede Øversten for Livvagten.
And the basons and the censers, and the bowls, and the pots, and the candlesticks, and the cups, and the goblets, that which was of gold in gold, and that which was of silver in silver, the captain of the body-guard took away.
20 De to Søjler, Havet med de tolv Kobberokser under og Stellene, som Salomo havde ladet lave til HERRENs Hus Kobberet i alle disse Ting var ikke til at veje.
The two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve brazen oxen that formed the bases, which king Solomon had made for the house of Jehovah: for the brass of all these vessels there was no weight.
21 Atten Alen høj var hver Søjle, og en Snor på tolv Alen kunde nå om den, og den var hul, og Kobberet var fire Fingre tykt.
And as to the pillars: the height of one pillar was eighteen cubits, and a line of twelve cubits encompassed it; and the thickness thereof was four fingers: it was hollow.
22 Og der var et Søjlehoved af Kobber oven på den, fem Alen højt, og rundt om Søjlehovedet var der Fletværk og Granatæbler, alt af Kobber; og på samme Måde var det med den anden Søjle.
And the capital upon it was brass, and the height of the one capital [was] five cubits; and the network and the pomegranates, upon the capital round about, all of brass; and similarly for the second pillar, and the pomegranates.
23 Og der var seks og halvfemsindstyve Granatæbler, som hang frit; der var i alt hundrede Granatæbler rundt om Fletværket.
And there were ninety-six pomegranates on the [four] sides; all the pomegranates upon the network were a hundred round about.
24 Øversten for Livvagten tog Ypperstepræsten Seraja, Anden præsten Zefanja og de tre Dørvogtere;
And the captain of the body-guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three doorkeepers.
25 og fra Byen tog han en Hofmand, der havde Opsyn med krigsfolket, og syv Mænd, der hørte til Kongens nærmeste Omgivelser, og som endnu fandtes i Byen, desuden Hærførerens Skriver, der udskrev Folket fra Landet til Krigstjeneste, og dertil tresindstyve Mænd at Folket fra Landet, der fandtes i Byen
And out of the city he took a eunuch that was set over the men of war, and seven men of them that were in the king's presence, who were found in the city, and the scribe of the captain of the host, who enrolled the people of the land. And sixty men of the people of the land that were found in the midst of the city.
26 dem tog Øversten for Livvagten Nebuzaradan og førte til Babels Konge i Ribla
And Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah;
27 og Babels Konge lod dem dræbe i Ribla i Hamats Land. Så førtes Juda i Landflygtighed fra sit Land.
and the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. Thus Judah was carried away captive out of his land.
28 Følgende er Tallet på de Folk, Nebukadrezar bortførte i Fangenskab: I hans syvende År 3023 Judæere,
This is the people whom Nebuchadrezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year three thousand and twenty-three Jews;
29 i Nebukadrezars attende År 832 fra Jerusalem;
in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar [he carried away captive] from Jerusalem eight hundred and thirty-two persons;
30 i Nebukadrezars tre og tyvende År bortførte Nebuzaradan, Øversten for Livvagten, 745 af Judæerne; tilsammen 4600.
in the twenty-third year of Nebuchadrezzar, Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred and forty-five persons: all the persons were four thousand six hundred.
31 I det syv og tredivte År efter Kong Jojakin af Judas Bortførelse på den fem og tyvende Dag i den tolvte Måned tog Babels Konge Evil-Merodak, der i det År kom på Tronen, Kong Jojakin af Juda til Nåde og førte ham ud af Fængselet.
And it came to pass in the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-fifth of the month, [that] Evil-Merodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison;
32 Han talte ham venligt til og gav ham Sæde oven for de Konger, som var hos ham i Babel.
and he spoke kindly unto him, and set his seat above the seat of the kings that were with him in Babylon.
33 Jojakin aflagde sin Fangedragt og spiste daglig hos ham, så længe han levede.
And he changed his prison garments; and he ate bread before him continually all the days of his life;
34 Han fik sit daglige Underhold af Babels Konge, hver Dag hvad han behøvede for den Dag, indtil sin Dødedag, så længe han levede.
and his allowance was a continual allowance given him by the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life.
