1Sedekía var tuttugu og eins árs að aldri, þá er hann varð konungur, og ellefu ár ríkti hann í Jerúsalem. Móðir hans hét Hamútal Jeremíadóttir og var frá Líbna.
1Zedekiah was twenty-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.
2Hann gjörði það sem illt var í augum Drottins, með öllu svo sem gjört hafði Jójakím.
2He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
3Vegna reiði Drottins fór svo fyrir Jerúsalem og Júda, að hann varpaði þeim burt frá augliti sínu. Sedekía brá trúnaði við Babelkonung,
3For through the anger of Yahweh it happened in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence. Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
4og á níunda ríkisári hans, á tíunda degi hins tíunda mánaðar, kom Nebúkadresar Babelkonungur með allan her sinn til Jerúsalem, og þeir settust um hana og reistu hervirki hringinn í kringum hana.
4It happened 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 they built forts against it round about.
5Varð borgin þannig í umsátri fram á ellefta ríkisár Sedekía konungs.
5So the city was besieged to the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
6Í fjórða mánuðinum, á níunda degi mánaðarins, er hungrið tók að sverfa að borginni og landslýður var orðinn vistalaus,
6In the fourth month, in the ninth day of the month, the famine was severe in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.
7þá var brotið skarð inn í borgina. Og konungur og allir hermennirnir flýðu og fóru út úr borginni um nóttina gegnum hliðið milli beggja múranna, sem er hjá konungsgarðinum, þótt Kaldear umkringdu borgina, og héldu leiðina til sléttlendisins.
7Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war fled, and went forth out of 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 against the city all around;) and they went toward the Arabah.
8Her Kaldea veitti konungi eftirför og náði Sedekía á Jeríkóvöllum, er allur her hans hafði tvístrast burt frá honum.
8But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.
9Tóku þeir konung höndum og fluttu hann til Ribla í Hamat-héraði til Babelkonungs. Hann kvað upp dóm hans.
9Then they took the king, and carried him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he gave judgment on him.
10Lét Babelkonungur drepa sonu Sedekía fyrir augum hans. Sömuleiðis lét hann drepa alla höfðingja Júda í Ribla.
10The king of Babylon killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes: he killed also all the princes of Judah in Riblah.
11En Sedekía lét hann blinda og binda eirfjötrum. Síðan lét Babelkonungur flytja hann til Babýlon og setja í fangelsi, og var hann þar til dauðadags.
11He put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him in fetters, and carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison until the day of his death.
12En í fimmta mánuði, á tíunda degi mánaðarins _ það er á nítjánda ríkisári Nebúkadresars Babelkonungs _ kom Nebúsaradan lífvarðarforingi, vildarþjónn Babelkonungs, til Jerúsalem
12Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, who stood before the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem:
13og brenndi musteri Drottins og konungshöllina og öll hús í Jerúsalem, og öll hús stórmennanna brenndi hann í eldi.
13and he burned the house of Yahweh, and the king’s house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, burned he with fire.
14En allur Kaldeaher, sá er var með lífvarðarforingjanum, reif niður alla múrana umhverfis Jerúsalem.
14All the army of the Chaldeans, who were with the captain of the guard, broke down all the walls of Jerusalem all around.
15En leifar lýðsins, þá er eftir voru í borginni, og liðhlaupana, þá er hlaupist höfðu í lið með Babelkonungi, og þá sem eftir voru af iðnaðarmönnum, herleiddi Nebúsaradan lífvarðarforingi til Babýlon.
15Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the poorest of the people, and the residue of the people who were left in the city, and those who fell away, who fell to the king of Babylon, and the residue of the multitude.
16En af almúga landsins lét Nebúsaradan lífvarðarforingi nokkra verða eftir sem víngarðsmenn og akurkarla.
16But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poorest of the land to be vineyard keepers and farmers.
17Eirsúlurnar, er voru við musteri Drottins, og undirstöðupallana og eirhafið, er voru í musteri Drottins, brutu Kaldear sundur og fluttu allan eirinn til Babýlon.
17The Chaldeans broke the pillars of brass that were in the house of Yahweh, and the bases and the bronze sea that were in the house of Yahweh in pieces, and carried all the of their brass to Babylon.
18Og katlana, eldspaðana, skarbítana, ádreifingarskálarnar, bollana og öll eiráhöldin, er notuð voru við guðsþjónustuna, tóku þeir.
18They also took away the pots, the shovels, the snuffers, the basins, the spoons, and all the vessels of brass with which they ministered.
19Þá tók og lífvarðarforinginn katlana, eldpönnurnar, ádreifingarskálarnar, pottana, ljósastikurnar, bollana, kerin _ allt sem var af gulli og silfri.
19The captain of the guard took away the cups, the fire pans, the basins, the pots, the lampstands, the spoons, and the bowls; that which was of gold, in gold, and that which was of silver, in silver.
20Súlurnar tvær, hafið og undirstöðupallana, er Salómon konungur hafði gjöra látið í musteri Drottins _ eirinn úr öllum þessum áhöldum varð eigi veginn.
20They took the two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve bronze bulls that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made for the house of Yahweh. The brass of all these vessels was without weight.
21En hvað súlurnar snertir, þá var önnur súlan átján álnir á hæð, og tólf álna langan þráð þurfti til að ná utan um hana, en hún var fjögra fingra þykk, hol að innan.
21As for the pillars, the height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits; and a line of twelve cubits encircled it; and its thickness was four fingers. It was hollow.
22En ofan á henni var súlnahöfuð af eiri og var það fimm álnir á hæð. Riðið net og granatepli voru umhverfis höfuðið, allt af eiri, og eins var á hinni súlunni.
22A capital of brass was on it; and the height of the one capital was five cubits, with network and pomegranates on the capital all around, all of brass: and the second pillar also had like these, and pomegranates.
23En granateplin voru níutíu og sex, þau er út sneru. Öll granateplin voru hundrað á riðna netinu allt um kring.
23There were ninety-six pomegranates on the sides; all the pomegranates were one hundred on the network all around.
24Og lífvarðarforinginn tók Seraja höfuðprest og Sefanía annan prest og þröskuldsverðina þrjá.
24The captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold:
25Og úr borginni tók hann hirðmann einn, er skipaður var yfir hermennina, og sjö menn af þeim, er daglega litu auglit konungs, er fundust í borginni, og ritara hershöfðingjans, þess er bauð út landslýðnum, og sextíu manns af sveitafólki, því er fannst í borginni.
25and out of the city he took an officer who was set over the men of war; and seven men of those who saw the king’s face, who were found in the city; and the scribe of the captain of the army, who mustered the people of the land; and sixty men of the people of the land, who were found in the midst of the city.
26Þessa menn tók Nebúsaradan lífvarðarforingi og flutti þá til Ribla til Babelkonungs.
26Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.
27En Babelkonungur lét drepa þá í Ribla í Hamat-héraði. Þannig var Júda herleiddur úr landi sínu.
27The king of Babylon struck them, and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away captive out of his land.
28Þetta var mannfólkið, sem Nebúkadresar herleiddi: Sjöunda árið 3023 Júdabúa,
28This is the people whom Nebuchadnezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year three thousand twenty-three Jews;
29átjánda ríkisár Nebúkadresars 832 sálir úr Jerúsalem.
29in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty-two persons;
30Tuttugasta og þriðja ríkisár Nebúkadresars herleiddi Nebúsaradan lífvarðarforingi 745 sálir af Júdabúum. Alls voru það 4600 sálir.
30in the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred forty-five persons: all the persons were four thousand and six hundred.
31Og á þrítugasta og sjöunda útlegðarári Jójakíns Júdakonungs, í tólfta mánuðinum, tuttugasta og fimmta dag mánaðarins, náðaði Evíl-Meródak Babelkonungur _ árið sem hann kom til ríkis _ Jójakín Júdakonung og tók hann út úr dýflissunni.
31It happened 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 forth out of prison;
32Og hann talaði vingjarnlega við hann og setti stól hans ofar stólum hinna konunganna, sem hjá honum voru í Babýlon.Og hann fór úr bandingjafötum sínum og borðaði stöðuglega með honum, meðan hann lifði.
32and he spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings who were with him in Babylon,
33Og hann fór úr bandingjafötum sínum og borðaði stöðuglega með honum, meðan hann lifði.
33and changed his prison garments. Jehoiachin ate bread before him continually all the days of his life:
34and for his allowance, there was a continual allowance given him by the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life.
