2 Chronicles 36

1 Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in his father’s place in Jerusalem.

Og Folket i Landet tog Joakas, Josias's Søn, og de gjorde ham til Konge i hans Faders Sted, i Jerusalem.

2 Joahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.

Joakas var tre og tyve Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede tre Maaneder i Jerusalem;

3 The king of Egypt removed him from office at Jerusalem, and fined the land one hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.

men Kongen af Ægypten afsatte ham i Jerusalem og straffede Landet paa hundrede Centner Sølv og et Centner Guld.

4 The king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. Neco took Joahaz his brother, and carried him to Egypt.

Og Kongen af Ægypten gjorde Eliakim, hans Broder, til Konge over Juda og Jerusalem og omvendte hans Navn til Jojakim; men Neko tog hans Broder Joakas og førte ham til Ægypten.

5 Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. He did that which was evil in the LORD his God’s sight.

Jojakim var fem og tyve Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede elleve Aar i Jerusalem; og han gjorde det, som var ondt for Herrens, hans Guds, Øjne.

6 Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against him, and bound him in fetters to carry him to Babylon.

Nebukadnezar, Kongen af Babel, drog op imod ham og bandt ham med to Kobberlænker for at føre ham til Babel.

7 Nebuchadnezzar also carried some of the vessels of the LORD’s house to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon.

Og Nebukadnezar førte nogle af Herrens Hus's Kar til Babel og lagde dem i sit Tempel i Babel.

8 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and his abominations which he did, and that which was found in him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah; and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place.

Men det øvrige af Jojakims Handeler og hans Vederstyggeligheder, som han gjorde, og det, som fandtes hos ham, se, de Ting ere skrevne i Israels og Judas Kongers Bog; og Jojakin, hans Søn, blev Konge i hans Sted.

9 Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem. He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight.

Jojakin var otte Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede tre Maaneder og ti Dage i Jerusalem og gjorde det, som var ondt for Herrens Øjne.

10 At the return of the year, King Nebuchadnezzar sent and brought him to Babylon, with the valuable vessels of the LORD’s house, and made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem.

Men der Aaret var omme, sendte Kong Nebukadnezar hen og lod ham føre til Babel tillige med Herrens Hus's kostelige Kar og gjorde Zedekias, hans Broder, til Konge over Juda og Jerusalem.

11 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.

Zedekias var et og tyve Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede elleve Aar i Jerusalem.

12 He did that which was evil in the LORD his God’s sight. He did not humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet speaking from the LORD’s mouth.

Og han gjorde det, som var ondt for Herren, hans Guds, Øjne; han ydmygede sig ikke for Profeten Jeremias, som talte af Herrens Mund.

13 He also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God; but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart against turning to the LORD, the God of Israel.

Tilmed faldt han og af fra Kong Nebukadnezar, som havde ladet ham sværge ved Gud; og han gjorde sin Nakke stiv og forhærdede sit Hjerte og vilde ikke omvende sig til Herren, Israels Gud.

14 Moreover all the chiefs of the priests and the people trespassed very greatly after all the abominations of the nations; and they polluted the LORD’s house which he had made holy in Jerusalem.

Og alle de øverste iblandt Præsterne og Folket forsyndede sig saare meget, idet de efterlignede alle Hedningernes Vederstyggeligheder og besmittede Herrens Hus, som han havde helliget i Jerusalem.

15 The LORD, the God of their fathers, sent to them by his messengers, rising up early and sending, because he had compassion on his people and on his dwelling place;

Og Herren, deres Fædres Gud, sendte til dem ved sine Sendebud tidligt og ideligt; thi han vilde skaane sit Folk og sin Bolig.

16 but they mocked the messengers of God, despised his words, and scoffed at his prophets, until the LORD’s wrath arose against his people, until there was no remedy.

Men de bespottede Guds Sendebud og foragtede hans Ord og forhaanede hans Profeter, indtil Herrens Vrede tog til over hans Folk, indtil der var ingen Lægedom mere.

17 Therefore he brought on them the king of the Chaldeans, who killed their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion on young man or virgin, old man or infirm. He gave them all into his hand.

Og han førte Kaldæernes Konge op imod dem, og denne ihjelslog deres unge Karle med Sværd udi deres Helligdoms Hus og sparede hverken unge Karle eller Jomfruer, gamle eller udlevede; han gav dem alle i hans Haand.

18 All the vessels of God’s house, great and small, and the treasures of the LORD’s house, and the treasures of the king and of his princes, all these he brought to Babylon.

Og alle Kar fra Guds Hus, store og smaa, og Herrens Hus's Skatte og Kongens og hans Fyrsters Skatte førte han alt sammen til Babel.

19 They burned God’s house, broke down the wall of Jerusalem, burned all its palaces with fire, and destroyed all of its valuable vessels.

Og de opbrændte Guds Hus og nedbrøde Jerusalems Mure, og de opbrændte alle dens Paladser med Ild, og alle dens kostelige Kar bleve ødelagte.

20 He carried those who had escaped from the sword away to Babylon, and they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia,

Og han bortførte til Babel dem, som vare overblevne fra Sværdet, og de bleve hans og hans Sønners Tjenere, indtil Persiens Rige fik Magten;

21 to fulfill the LORD’s word by Jeremiah’s mouth, until the land had enjoyed its Sabbaths. As long as it lay desolate, it kept Sabbath, to fulfill seventy years.

at Herrens Ord skulde opfyldes, som var talt ved Jeremias's Mund, indtil Landet havde faaet nok af sine Sabbater; det hvilede den ganske Tid, som Ødelæggelsen varede, indtil halvfjerdsindstyve Aar bleve fyldte.

22 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the LORD’s word by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,

Men i Kyrus's, Kongen af Persiens, første Aar, da Herrens Ord, som var talt ved Jeremias's Mund, var fuldkommet, opvakte Herren Kyrus's, Kongen af Persiens, Aand, at han lod udraabe over sit ganske Rige, ja kundgøre ved Skrift, og sige:

23 “Cyrus king of Persia says, ‘The LORD, the God of heaven, has given all the kingdoms of the earth to me; and he has commanded me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever there is among you of all his people, the LORD his God be with him, and let him go up.’”

Saa siger Kyrus, Kongen i Persien: Herren, Himmelens Gud, har givet mig alle Riger paa Jorden, og han har befalet mig at bygge sig et Hus i Jerusalem, som er i Juda. Hvo der maatte være iblandt eder af alle hans Folk, med ham være Herren hans Gud, og han drage op!
