2 Kings 25
1 Then it happened that, in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, he and his entire army, arrived against Jerusalem. And they encircled it, and they constructed fortifications all around it.
I hans niende Regeringsår på den tiende Dag i den tiende Måned drog Kong Nebukadnezar af Babel da med hele sin Hær mod Jerusalem og belejrede det, og de byggede Belejringstårne imod det rundt omkring;
2 And the city was enclosed and besieged, even until the eleventh year of king Zedekiah,
og Belejringen varede til Kong Zedekias's ellevte Regeringsår.
3 on the ninth day of the month. And a famine prevailed in the city; neither was there bread for the people of the land.
På den niende Dag i den fjerde Måned blev Hungersnøden hård i Byen, og Folket fra Landet havde ikke Brød.
4 And the city was breached. And all the men of war fled in the night along the way of the gate which is between the double wall at the garden of the king. Now the Chaldeans were besieging the city on all sides. And so Zedekiah fled along the way which leads to the plains of the wilderness.
Da blev Byens Mur gennembrudt. Kongen og alle Krigsfolkene flygtede om Natten gennem Porten mellem de to Mure ved Kongens Have, medens Kaldæerne holdt Byen omringet, og han tog Vejen ad Arabalavningen til.
5 And the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king, and they overtook him in the plains of Jericho. And all the warriors who were with him were dispersed, and they abandoned him.
Men Kaldæernes Hær satte efter Kongen og indhentede ham på Jerikosletten, efter at hele hans Hær var blevet splittet til alle Sider.
6 Therefore, having apprehended him, they led the king to the king of Babylon at Riblah. And he was speaking with him in judgment.
Så greb de Kongen og bragte ham op til Ribla til Babels Konge, der fældede Dommen over ham.
7 Then he killed the sons of Zedekiah before him, and he dug out his eyes, and he bound him with chains, and he led him away to Babylon.
Hans Sønner lod han henrette i hans Påsyn, og på Zedekias selv lod han Øjnene stikke ud; derpå lod han ham lægge i Kobberlænker, og således førte de ham til Babel.
8 In the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, the same is the nineteenth year of the king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan, the leader of the army, a servant of the king of Babylon, went into Jerusalem.
På den syvende Dag i den femte Måned, det var Babels Konge Nebukadnezars nittende Regeringsår, kom Nebuzaradan, Øversten for Livvagten, Babels Konges Tjener, til Jerusalem.
9 And he set fire to the house of the Lord, and to the house of the king. And the houses of Jerusalem, and every great house, he burned with fire.
Han satte Ild på HERRENs Hus og Kongens Palads og alle Husene i Jerusalem; på alle Stormændenes Huse satte han Ild;
10 And the entire army of the Chaldeans, which was with the leader of the military, tore down the walls of Jerusalem all around.
og Murene om Jerusalem nedbrød alle Kaldæernes Folk, som Øversten for Livvagten havde med sig.
11 Then Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, carried away the rest of the people, who had remained in the city, and the fugitives, who had fled over to the king of Babylon, and the remnant of the common people.
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.
12 But he left behind some vinedressers and farmers from the poor of the land.
Men nogle af de fattigste at Folket fra Landet lod Øversten for Livvagten blive tilbage som Vingårdsmænd og Agerdyrkere.
13 Now the pillars of brass which were in the temple of the Lord, and the bases, and the sea of brass, which was in the house of the Lord, the Chaldeans broke apart. And they took all the brass to Babylon.
Kobbersøjlerne i HERRENs Hus, Stellene og Kobberhavet i HERRENs Hus slog Kaldæerne i Stykker og førte Kobberet til Babel.
14 Also, they took away the cooking pots of brass, and the scoops, and the forks, and the cups, and the little mortars, and all the articles of brass with which they were ministering.
Karrene, Skovlene, Hnivene, Kanderne og alle Kobbersagerne, som brugtes ved Tjenesten, røvede de;
15 And the leader of the military even took away the censers and the bowls, whatever was of gold for the gold, and whatever was of silver for the silver,
også Panderne og Skålene, alt, hvad der helt var af Guld eller Sølv, røvede Øversten for Livvagten.
16 and also the two pillars, the one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made for the temple of the Lord. The brass of all these items was beyond measure.
De to Søjler, Havet og Stellene, som Salomo havde ladet lave til HERRENs Hus - Kobberet i alle disse Ting var ikke til at veje.
17 One pillar had eighteen cubits in height. And the head of brass upon it was three cubits in height. And the network and pomegranates upon the head of the pillar were all of brass. And the second pillar had a similar adornment.
Atten Alen høj var den ene Søjle, og der var et Søjlehoved af Kobber oven på den, tre Alen højt, og rundt om Søjlehovederne var der Fletværk og Granatæbler, alt af Kobber; og på samme Måde var det med den anden Søjle.
18 Also, the leader of the military took away Seraiah, the chief priest, and Zephaniah, the second priest, and three doorkeepers,
Øversten for Livvagten tog Ypperstepræsten Seraja, Andenpræsten Zefanja og de tre Dørvogtere;
19 and from the city, one eunuch, who was in charge of the men of war, and five men out of those who had stood before the king, whom he found in the city, and Sopher, the leader of the army who trained the young soldiers from the people of the land, and sixty men from the common people, who had been found in the city.
og fra Byen tog han en Hofmand, der havde Opsyn med Krigs folket, og fem 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,
20 Taking them, Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, led them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.
dem tog Øversten for Livvagten Nebuzaradan og førte til Babels Konge i Ribla;
21 And the king of Babylon struck them and killed them at Riblah, in the land of Hamath. And Judah was taken away from his land.
og Babels Konge lod dem dræbe i Ribla i Hamats Land. Så førtes Juda i Landflygtighed fra sit Land.
22 But over the people who had remained in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, had permitted, he appointed as ruler Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan.
Over de Folk, der blev tilbage i Judas Land, dem, Babels Konge Nebukadnezar lod blive tilbage, satte han Gedalja, Ahikams Søn, Sjafans Sønnesøn.
23 And when all the commanders of the military had heard this, they and the men who were with them, specifically, that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedaliah, they went to Gedaliah at Mizpah: Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan, the son of Kareah, and Seraiah, the son of Tanhumeth, the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah, the son of a Maacathite, they and their companions.
Da nu alle Hærførerne med deres Folk hørte, at Babels Konge havde indsat Gedalja, kom de til ham i Mizpa, Jisjmael, Netanjas Søn, Johanan, Bareas Søn, Seraja, Tanhumets Søn fra Netofa, og Ja'azanja, Ma'akatitens Søn, tillige med deres Folk.
24 And Gedaliah swore to them and to their companions, saying: “Do not be afraid to serve the Chaldeans. Remain in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.”
Og Gedalja besvor dem og deres Folk og sagde: "Frygt ikke for Kaldæerne! Bliv i Landet og underkast eder Babels Konge, så vil det gå eder vel!"
25 But it happened that, in the seventh month, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of royal offspring, and ten men with him, went and struck Gedaliah, who then died, along with the Jews and the Chaldeans who were with him at Mizpah.
Men i den syvende Måned kom Jisjmael, Netanjas Søn, Elisjamas Sønnesøo, en Mand af kongelig Byrd, med ti Mænd og slog Gedalja ihjel tillige med de Judæere og Kaldæere, der var hos ham i Mizpa.
26 And all the people, from small to great, and the leaders of the military, rising up, went away to Egypt, fearing the Chaldeans.
Da brød hele Folket, store og små, og Hærførerne op og drog til Ægypten; thi de frygtede for Kaldæerne.
27 Truly, it happened that, in the thirty-seventh year of the transmigration of Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, Evilmerodach, the king of Babylon, in the year when he had begun to reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, from prison.
I det syv og tredivte År efter Kong Jojakin af Judas Bortførelse på den syv 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.
28 And he spoke kindly to him. And he set his throne above the throne of the kings who were with him at Babylon.
Han talte ham venligt til og gav ham Sæde oven for de Konger, der var hos ham i Babel.
29 And he changed his garments that he had worn in prison. And he ate bread before him always, during all the days of his life.
Jojakin aflagde sin Fangedragt og spiste daglig hos ham, så længe han levede.
30 Also, he appointed to him an allowance without ceasing, which also was given to him by the king, for each day, during all the days of his life.
Han fik sit daglige Underhold af Kongen, hver Dag hvad han behøvede for den Dag, så længe han levede.
