II Kings 24

I hans tid drog kongen i Babel Nebukadnesar op, og Jojakim blev hans tjener i tre år; da falt han fra ham igjen.

In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant three years: then he turned and rebelled against him.

Og Herren sendte mot ham kaldeiske og syriske og moabittiske og ammonittiske hærflokker; han sendte dem mot Juda for å ødelegge det efter det ord som Herren hadde talt ved sine tjenere profetene.

And the LORD sent against him bands of the Chaldees, and bands of the Syrians, and bands of the Moabites, and bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by his servants the prophets.

Det var bare efter Herrens bud dette kom over Juda, fordi han vilde støte dem bort fra sitt åsyn for Manasses synders skyld, for alt det han hadde gjort,

Surely at the commandment of the LORD came this upon Judah, to remove them out of his sight, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did;

også for det uskyldige blods skyld som han hadde utøst, så han fylte Jerusalem med uskyldig blod; og Herren vilde ikke tilgi.

And also for the innocent blood that he shed: for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; which the LORD would not pardon.

Hvad som ellers er å fortelle om Jojakim og om alt det han gjorde, det er opskrevet i Judas kongers krønike.

Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

Og Jojakim la sig til hvile hos sine fedre, og hans sønn Jojakin blev konge i hans sted.

So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead.

Men kongen i Egypten drog ikke mere ut av sitt land; for kongen i Babel hadde tatt alt det som hadde tilhørt kongen i Egypten, fra Egyptens bekk til Frat-elven.

And the king of Egypt came not again any more out of his land: for the king of Babylon had taken from the river of Egypt unto the river Euphrates all that pertained to the king of Egypt.

Jojakin var atten år gammel da han blev konge, og han regjerte tre måneder i Jerusalem; hans mor hette Nehusta; hun var datter av Elnatan og var fra Jerusalem.

Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. And his mother's name was Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.

Han gjorde hvad ondt var i Herrens øine, aldeles som hans far hadde gjort.

And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father had done.

På den tid drog Babels konge Nebukadnesars menn op til Jerusalem, og byen blev kringsatt.

At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.

Siden drog kongen i Babel Nebukadnesar selv mot byen, mens hans menn holdt den kringsatt.

And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came against the city, and his servants did besiege it.

Da gikk Judas konge Jojakin ut til kongen i Babel, både han og hans mor og hans tjenere og høvedsmenn og hoffmenn; og kongen i Babel tok ham til fange i sitt åttende regjeringsår.

And Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his princes, and his officers: and the king of Babylon took him in the eighth year of his reign.

Han førte bort alle skattene i Herrens hus og i kongens hus, og han brøt gullet av alle de redskaper som Israels konge Salomo hadde latt gjøre i Herrens tempel, således som Herren hadde sagt.

And he carried out thence all the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold which Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of the LORD, as the LORD had said.

Han bortførte hele Jerusalem, alle de fornemste og alle rikmenn - ti tusen fanger - og alle tømmermenn og stenhuggere og smeder; det blev ikke nogen tilbake uten de ringeste av landets folk.

And he carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valour, even ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and smiths: none remained, save the poorest sort of the people of the land.

Han bortførte Jojakin til Babel; også kongens mor og hustruer og hoffmenn og de mektigste i landet førte han fangne fra Jerusalem til Babel.

And he carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, and the king's mother, and the king's wives, and his officers, and the mighty of the land, those carried he into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon.

Og alle rikmennene - syv tusen - og tømmermennene og stenhuggerne og smedene - tusen - alle sammen djerve krigsmenn, dem førte kongen i Babel fangne til Babel.

And all the men of might, even seven thousand, and craftsmen and smiths a thousand, all that were strong and apt for war, even them the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon.

Og kongen i Babel satte hans farbror Mattanja til konge i hans sted og forandret hans navn til Sedekias.

And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah his father's brother king in his stead, and changed his name to Zedekiah.

Sedekias var en og tyve år gammel da han blev konge, og han regjerte elleve år i Jerusalem; hans mor hette Hamital; hun var datter av Jirmeja og var fra Libna.

Zedekiah was twenty and one 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.

Han gjorde hvad ondt var i Herrens øine, aldeles som Jojakim hadde gjort.

And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.

For på grunn av Herrens vrede gikk det så med Jerusalem og Juda, inntil han kastet dem bort fra sitt åsyn. Og Sedekias falt fra kongen i Babel

For through the anger of the LORD it came to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence, that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
