2 Kings 25
1 And it came to pass 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 host, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it; and they built forts against it round about.
Och det begaf sig i nionde årena af hans rike, på tionde dagen i tionde månadenom, kom NebucadNezar, Konungen i Babel, med all sin magt för Jerusalem, och de lägrade sig der före, och byggde skansar allt omkring.
2 And the city was besieged to the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
Alltså vardt staden belagd, allt intill ellofte året af Konung Zedekia rike.
3 And on the ninth day of the fourth month the famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land.
Men i nionde månadenom vardt hungren stark i stadenom, så att folket i landena hade intet äta.
4 And the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between two walls, which is by the king’s garden: (now the Chaldees were against the city round about: ) and the king went the way toward the plain.
Då föll man in i staden, och alle krigsmän flydde om nattena, den vägen ifrå porten, som går emellan de två murar åt Konungsträgården. Och de Chaldeer lågo omkring staden. Och han flydde den vägen åt hedmarkena.
5 And the army of the Chaldees pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all his army were scattered from him.
Men de Chaldeers magt jagade efter Konungen, och grepo honom på hedmarkene vid Jericho. Och alle krigsmännerna, som när honom voro, vordo förskingrade ifrå honom.
6 So they took the king, and brought him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they gave judgment on him.
Men Konungen grepo de, och förde honom upp till Konungen af Babel till Riblath; och de sade en dom öfver honom.
7 And they slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with fetters of brass, and carried him to Babylon.
Och de slogo Zedekia barn ihjäl för hans ögon, och stungo Zedekia hans ögon ut, och bundo honom med kedjor, och förde honom till Babel.
8 And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which is the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, to Jerusalem:
På sjunde dagen i femte månadenom, det är nittonde året NebucadNezars, Konungens i Babel, kom NebusarAdan hofmästaren, Konungens tjenare i Babel, till Jerusalem;
9 And he burnt the house of the LORD, and the king’s house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great man’s house burnt he with fire.
Och uppbrände Herrans hus, och Konungshuset, och all hus i Jerusalem, och all stor hus brände han upp med eld.
10 And all the army of the Chaldees, that were with the captain of the guard, broke down the walls of Jerusalem round about.
Och hela de Chaldeers magt, som med hofmästarenom var, bröt omkull murarna, som omkring Jerusalem voro.
11 Now the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the fugitives that fell away to the king of Babylon, with the remnant of the multitude, did Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carry away.
Men det andra folket, som qvart var i stadenom, och de som till Konungen af Babel fallne voro, och det andra meniga folket, förde NebusarAdan hofmästaren bort.
12 But the captain of the guard left of the poor of the land to be vinedressers and farmers.
Och af de ringesta i landena lät hofmästaren blifva till vingårdsmän, och åkermän.
13 And the pillars of brass that were in the house of the LORD, and the bases, and the brazen sea that was in the house of the LORD, did the Chaldees break in pieces, and carried the brass of them to Babylon.
Men de kopparstodar i Herrans hus, och stolarna, och kopparhafvet, som i Herrans hus var, slogo de Chaldeer sönder, och förde kopparen till Babel.
14 And the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass with which they ministered, took they away.
Och grytor, skoflar, knifvar, skedar, och all kopparkärile, dermed man tjente, togo de bort.
15 And the fire pans, and the bowls, and such things as were of gold, in gold, and of silver, in silver, the captain of the guard took away.
Dertill tog hofmästaren pannor och bäcken, hvad af guld och silfver var;
16 The two pillars, one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made for the house of the LORD; the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
Två stodar, ett haf, och de stolar, som Salomo hade göra låtit till Herrans hus; kopparen af all denna tygen stod icke till vägandes.
17 The height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, and the capital on it was brass: and the height of the capital three cubits; and the wreathen work, and pomegranates on the capital round about, all of brass: and like to these had the second pillar with wreathen work.
Aderton alnar hög var en stoden, och knappen derpå var ock af koppar, och tre alnar hög; och gjordarne, och granatäplen allt omkring knappen, var ock allt af koppar; vid samma sättet var ock den andre stoden med gjordar.
18 And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door:
Och hofmästaren tog Presten Seraja af första skiftet, och Presten Zephania af det andra skiftet, och tre dörravaktare,
19 And out of the city he took an officer that was set over the men of war, and five men of them that were in the king’s presence, which were found in the city, and the principal scribe of the host, which mustered the people of the land, and three score men of the people of the land that were found in the city:
Och en kamerer utu stadenom, som öfver krigsmännerna satt var, och fem män, som allstädes hade ståndit för Konungenom, och i stadenom funne voro, och Sopher, härhöfvitsmannen, som folket i landena strida lärde, och sextio män af landsfolkena, som i stadenom funne voro.
20 And Nebuzaradan captain of the guard took these, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah:
Dessa tog NebusarAdan hofmästaren, och förde dem till Konungen af Babel till Riblath.
21 And the king of Babylon smote them, and slew them at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away out of their land.
Och Konungen i Babel slog dem ihjäl i Riblath, i de landena Hamath. Alltså vardt Juda bortförd utu sitt land.
22 And as for the people that remained 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, ruler.
Men öfver det folk, som qvart blef i Juda land, som NebucadNezar, Konungen i Babel, qvart blifva lät, satte han Gedalja, Ahikams son, Saphans sons.
23 And when all the captains of the armies, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, there came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan the son of Careah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of a Maachathite, they and their men.
Då nu allt krigsfolkets höfvitsmän och männerna hörde, att Konungen af Babel hade uppsatt Gedalja, kommo de till Gedalja i Mizpa, nämliga Ismael, Nethania son, och Johanan, Kareahs son, och Seraja, Thanhumeths son, den Netophathiten, och Jaesania, Maachati son, samt med deras män.
24 And Gedaliah swore to them, and to their men, and said to them, Fear not to be the servants of the Chaldees: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon; and it shall be well with you.
Och Gedalja svor dem, och deras män, och sade till dem: Frukter eder intet att vara de Chaldeers underdånar; blifver i landena, och varer Konungenom af Babel underdånige, så går eder väl.
25 But it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, came, and ten men with him, and smote Gedaliah, that he died, and the Jews and the Chaldees that were with him at Mizpah.
Men i sjunde månadenom kom Ismael, Nethania son, Elisama sons, utaf Konungsliga slägt, och tio män med honom, och slogo Gedalja ihjäl; dertill de Judar och Chaldeer, som med honom voro i Mizpa.
26 And all the people, both small and great, and the captains of the armies, arose, and came to Egypt: for they were afraid of the Chaldees.
Då reste sig upp allt folket, både små och store, och krigsöverstarna, och kommo in uti Egypten; förty de fruktade sig för de Chaldeer.
27 And it came to pass 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 Evilmerodach king of Babylon in the year that he began to reign did lift up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison;
Uti sjunde och tretionde årena, sedan Jojachin, Juda Konung, bortförd var, på sjunde och tjugonde dagen i tolfte månadenom, hof EvilMerodach, Konungen i Babel, uti första årena af sitt rike, Jojachins, Juda Konungs, hufvud upp utu fängslehuset;
28 And he spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon;
Och talade vänliga med honom, och satte hans stol utöfver de Konungars stolar, som när honom voro i Babel;
29 And changed his prison garments: and he did eat bread continually before him all the days of his life.
Och förvandlade hans fängelsekläder; och han åt alltid inför honom i alla sina lifsdagar;
30 And his allowance was a continual allowance given him of the king, a daily rate for every day, all the days of his life.
Och satte honom före hans del, den man honom alltid gifva skulle af Konungenom, hvar dag, så länge han lefde.
