< Jeremiah 52 >

1 Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
Zedekias var een og tyve Aar gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede elleve Aar i Jerusalem. Hans Moder hed Hamital og var en Datter af Jirmeja fra Libna.
2 And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENS Øjne, ganske som Jojakim.
3 For through the anger of the LORD it came to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, till he had cast them out from his presence, that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
Thi for HERRENS Vredes Skyld kom dette over Jerusalem og Juda, og til sidst stødte han dem bort fra sit Aasyn. Og Zedekias faldt fra Babels Konge.
4 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 army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it, and built forts against it on every side.
I hans niende Regeringsaar paa den tiende Dag i den tiende Maaned drog Kong Nebukadrezar af Babel da med hele sin Hær mod Jerusalem, og de belejrede det og byggede Belejringstaarne imod det rundt omkring;
5 So the city was besieged to the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
og Belejringen varede til Kong Zedekias's ellevte Regeringsaar.
6 And in the fourth month, in the ninth day of the month, the famine was great in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.
Paa den niende Dag i den fjerde Maaned blev Hungersnøden haard i Byen, og Folket fra Landet havde ikke Brød. Da blev Byens Mur gennembrudt.
7 Then the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled, and went forth from 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 by the city on all sides: ) and they went by the way of the plain.
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.
8 But the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.
Men Kaldæernes Hær satte efter Kongen og indhentede ham paa Jerikosletten, efter at hele hans Hær var blevet splittet til alle Sider.
9 Then they took the king, and carried him to the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; where he gave judgment upon him.
Saa greb de Kongen og bragte ham op til Ribla i Hamats Land til Babels Konge, der fældede Dommen over ham.
10 And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes: he slew also all the princes of Judah in Riblah.
Hans Sønner lod han henrette i hans Paasyn, ligeledes lod han alle Judas Øverster henrette i Ribla;
11 Then he put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him in chains, and carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison till the day of his death.
og paa Zedekias selv lod Babels Konge Øjnene stikke ud; derpaa lod han ham lægge i Kobberlænker, og saaledes førte han ham til Babel; og han lod ham kaste i Fængsel, hvor han blev til sin Dødedag.
12 Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, who served the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem,
Paa den tiende Dag i den femte Maaned, det var Babels Konge Nebukadrezars nittende Regeringsaar, kom Nebuzar'adan, Øversten for Livvagten, Babels Konges Tjener, til Jerusalem.
13 And burned the house of the LORD, and the king’s house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, and all the houses of the great men, he burned with fire:
Han satte Ild paa HERRENS Hus og Kongens Palads og alle Husene i Jerusalem; paa alle Stormændenes Huse satte han Ild;
14 And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were with the captain of the guard, broke down all the walls of Jerusalem on every side.
og Murene om Jerusalem nedbrød hele Kaldæernes Hær, som Øversten for Livvagten havde med sig.
15 Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive certain of the poor of the people, and the rest of the people that remained in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude.
De sidste Folk, som var tilbage i Byen, og Overløberne, der var gaaet over til Babels Konge, og de sidste Haandværkere førte Nebuzar'adan, Øversten for Livvagten, bort.
16 But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left certain of the poor of the land for vinedressers and for farmers.
Men nogle af de fattigste af Folket fra Landet lod Nebuzar'adan, Øversten for Livvagten, blive tilbage som Vingaardsmænd og Agerdyrkere,
17 Also the pillars of brass that were in the house of the LORD, and the bases, and the brasen sea that was in the house of the LORD, the Chaldeans broke, and carried all the brass of them to Babylon.
Kobbersøjlerne i HERRENS Hus, Stellene og Kobberhavet i HERRENS Hus slog Kaldæerne i Stykker og førte Kobberet til Babel.
18 The caldrons also, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the bowls, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass by which they ministered, they took away.
Karrene, Skovlene, Knivene og Kanderne og alle Kobbersagerne, som brugtes ved Tjenesten, røvede de;
19 And the basins, and the firepans, and the bowls, and the caldrons, and the lampstands, and the spoons, and the cups; that which was of gold in gold, and that which was of silver in silver, the captain of the guard took away.
ogsaa Fadene, Panderne, Skaalene, Karrene, Lysestagerne, Kanderne og Offerskaalene, der helt var af Guld eller Sølv, røvede Øversten for Livvagten.
20 The two pillars, one sea, and twelve brasen bulls that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made in the house of the LORD: the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
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.
21 And concerning the pillars, the height of one pillar was eighteen cubits; and a band of twelve cubits surrounded it; and the thickness of it was four fingers: it was hollow.
Atten Alen høj var hver Søjle, og en Snor paa tolv Alen kunde naa om den, og den var hul, og Kobberet var fire Fingre tykt.
22 And a capital of brass was upon it; and the height of one capital was five cubits, with network and pomegranates upon the capitals around, all of brass. The second pillar also and the pomegranates were like these.
Og der var et Søjlehoved af Kobber oven paa den, fem Alen højt, og rundt om Søjlehovedet var der Fletværk og Granatæbler, alt af Kobber; og paa samme Maade var det med den anden Søjle.
23 And there were ninety and six pomegranates on a side; and all the pomegranates upon the network were an hundred on all sides.
Og der var seks og halvfemsindstyve Granatæbler, som hang frit; der var i alt hundrede Granatæbler rundt om Fletværket.
24 And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door:
Øversten for Livvagten tog Ypperstepræsten Seraja, Andenpræsten Zefanja og de tre Dørvogtere;
25 He took also out of the city an eunuch, who had the charge of the men of war; and seven men of them that were near the king’s person, who were found in the city; and the principal scribe of the host, who mustered the people of the land; and sixty men of the people of the land, that were found in the midst of the city.
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 af Folket fra Landet, der fandtes i Byen —
26 So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.
dem tog Øversten for Livvagten Nebuzar'adan og førte til Babels Konge i Ribla;
27 And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death in Riblah in the land of Hamath. Thus Judah was carried away captive out of his own land.
og Babels Konge lod dem dræbe i Ribla i Hamats Land. Saa førtes Juda i Landflygtighed fra sit Land.
28 This is the people whom Nebuchadnezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year three thousand Jews and three and twenty:
Følgende er Tallet paa de Folk, Nebukadrezar bortførte i Fangenskab: I hans syvende Aar 3023 Judæere,
29 In the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred and thirty and two persons:
i Nebukadrezars attende Aar 832 fra Jerusalem;
30 In the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred and forty and five persons: all the persons were four thousand and six hundred.
i Nebukadrezars tre og tyvende Aar bortførte Nebuzar'adan, Øversten for Livvagten, 745 af Judæerne; tilsammen 4600.
31 And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the five and twentieth day of the month, that Evilmerodach king of Babylon in the first year of his reign lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him out of prison,
I det syv og tredivte Aar efter Kong Jojakin af Judas Bortførelse paa den fem og tyvende Dag i den tolvte Maaned tog Babels Konge Evil-Merodak, der i det Aar kom paa Tronen, Kong Jojakin af Juda til Naade og førte ham ud af Fængselet.
32 And spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon,
Han talte ham venligt til og gav ham Sæde oven for de Konger, som var hos ham i Babel.
33 And changed his prison garments: and he continually ate bread before him all the days of his life.
Jojakin aflagde sin Fangedragt og spiste daglig hos ham, saa længe han levede.
34 And for his food, there was a continual diet given him of the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life.
Han fik sit daglige Underhold af Babels Konge, hver Dag hvad han behøvede for den Dag, indtil sin Dødedag, saa længe han levede.
