1 To pacoengah prae kaminawk mah Josiah capa Jehoahaz to lak o moe, ampa zuengah Jerusalem ah siangpahrang ah suek o.
The people of the land took Jehoahaz, son of Josiah, and made him king in Jerusalem in succession to his father.
2 Jehoahaz siangpahrang ah oh amtong naah saning pumphae thumto oh boeh; anih mah Jerusalem to khrah thumto thung uk.
Jehoahaz was twenty-three when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for three months.
3 Izip siangpahrang mah angraeng tangkhang hoi anghumsak tathuk moe, Judah khaeah sumkanglung talent cumvaito hoi sui talent maeto tamut ah paeksak.
Then the king of Egypt removed him from the throne in Jerusalem and imposed a tax on Judah of a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.

Neco, king of Egypt, made Eliakim, Jehoahaz's brother, king over Judah and Jerusalem, and he changed Eliakim's name to Jehoiakim. Neco took Eliakim's brother Jehoahaz back with him to Egypt.
5 Jehoiakim siangpahrang toksak amtong naah saning pumphae pangato oh boeh; anih mah Jerusalam to saning hatlaito thung uk: anih loe angmah ih Angraeng Sithaw hmaa ah kahoih ai hmuen to sak.
Jehoiakim was twenty-five when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for eleven years. He did evil in the sight of the Lord his God.
6 To pongah Babylon siangpahrang Nebukhadnezzar mah caeh moe, Babylon ah hoih hanah, anih to sumqui hoiah pathlet.
Then Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, attacked Jehoiakim. He captured him and put bronze shackles on him, and brought him to Babylon.
7 Nebukhednazar loe Angraeng imthung ih laom sabaenawk to lak moe, angmah ih tempul thungah suek.
Nebuchadnezzar also took some items from the Lord's Temple, and he put them in his temple in Babylon.
8 Jehoiakim siangpahrang ah oh nathung, a sak ih hmuennawk, a sak ih panuet thok hmuennawk hoi a poekhaih palungthinnawk boih loe Israel hoi Judah siangpahrangnawk ih cabu thungah tarik o. To pacoengah a capa Jehoiachin mah anih zuengah prae to uk.
The rest of what Jehoiakim, the disgusting sins he committed, and all the evidence against him, are written down in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah. His son Jehoiachin took over as king.
9 Jehoiachin siangpahrang ah oh amtong naah saning tazetto oh boeh; anih mah Jerusalem to khrah thumto pacoeng, ni hato thung uk; anih loe Angraeng mikhnukah kasae hmuen to sak.
Jehoiachin was eighteen when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for three months and ten days. He did evil in the Lord's sight.
10 Saning boeng tom naah loe, Nebukhadnezzar siangpahrang mah kami patoeh moe, anih to Babylon ah hoih sak, Angraeng imthung ih atho kana laom sabaenawk boih to sinsak moe, Jehoiachin ih amnawk Zedekiah to Judah hoi Jerusalem ukkung siangpahrang ah suek.
In the spring of the year, King Nebuchadnezzar summoned him and brought him to Babylon, along with valuable items from the Lord's Temple, and he made Jehoiachin's uncle Zedekiah king over Judah and Jerusalem.
11 Zedekiah siangpahrang ah oh tangsuek naah, saning pumphaeto pacoeng, saningto oh boeh; anih mah Jerusalem to saning hatlaito thung uk.
Zedekiah was twenty-one when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for eleven years.
12 Anih loe angmah ih Angraeng Sithaw mikhnukah kahoih ai hmuen to sak, Angraeng ih pakha thung hoi lokthuikung tahmaa Jeremiah hmaa ah a poekhaih to pahnaem ai.
He did evil in the sight of the Lord his God, and he refused to admit his pride when the prophet Jeremiah warned him directly from the Lord.
13 Sithaw ih ahmin hoiah lokkamhaih sah pae kami, Nebukhadnezzar doeh anih mah misa angthawk thuih; anih loe tahnong amtaksak moe, palung doeh thah parai pongah, Israel Angraeng Sithaw khaeah amlaem ai.
He also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear an oath of loyalty by God. Zedekiah was arrogant and hard-hearted, and refused to come back to the Lord, the God of Israel.
14 Kalen koek qaimanawk hoi prae kaminawk boih doeh, Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk baktih toengah panuet thok zaehaih to sak o; Angraeng angmah Jerusalem ah ciimsak ih Angraeng ih im to amhnong o sak.
All the leaders of the priests and the people were also totally faithless and sinful, following all the disgusting practices of the heathen nations. They defiled the Lord's Temple that he had set apart as holy in Jerusalem.
15 Anih ampanawk ih Angraeng Sithaw mah angmah ih kaminawk hoi a ohhaih ahmuen to tahmen pongah, khawnthaw ah angthawk moe, angmah ih laicaehnawk patohhaih rang hoiah lok a thuih pae langlacadoeh,
Again and again the Lord, the God of their fathers, warned his people through his prophets, because he wanted to show mercy to them and to his Temple.
16 Sithaw ih laicaehnawk to pahnuih o thuih, a thuih ih loknawk to tidoeh sah pae o ai, anih ih tahmaanawk to pacaekthlaek pae o pongah, angmah ih kaminawk nuiah boeng thai ai Angraeng palungphui to phak.
But they ridiculed God's messengers, they despised his warnings and mocked his prophets, until the Lord's anger against his people was provoked to such an extent it couldn't be stopped.
17 To pongah nihcae tuk hanah Khaldea siangpahrang to kawk pae; anih mah a caa thendoengnawk to hmuenciim ah sumsen hoiah hum pae; thendoeng, tangla, nongpa mitong hoi nongpata mitongnawk doeh pathlung ai; Sithaw mah nihcae boih Nebukhadnezzar ban ah paek.
So the Lord brought the king of Babylon to attack them. His army killed by the sword their best young men even in the sanctuary. The Babylonians did not spare young men or young women, the sick or the elderly. God handed them all over to Nebuchadnezzar.
18 Sithaw imthung ih laom sabaenawk boih, kathoeng doeh kalen doeh, Angraeng im ih hmuennawk, siangpahrang hoi angmah angraengnawk ih hmuennawk boih Babylon ah sinh pae king.
He took back to Babylon all the articles, large and small, from God's Temple, and from the Temple treasury, and from the king and from his officials.
19 Nihcae mahg Sithaw im to hmai hoiah thlaek o moe, Jerusalem sipae to phraek o; siangpahrang imnawk boih doeh hmai hoiah thlaek pae o; atho kaom to ih laom sabaenawk to paro pae o boih.
Then the Babylonians burned down God's Temple and demolished Jerusalem's walls. They set fire to all the palaces and destroyed everything that had any value.
20 Sumsen hoi loih kaminawk to Babylon ah hoih o moe, Persia prae ukhaih pha ai karoek to, siangpahrang hoi a capanawk ih tamna ah oh o.
Nebuchadnezzar took into exile in Babylon those who had not been killed. They were slaves for himself and his sons, until the kingdom of Persia took over.
21 Israel prae mah anghoehaih hoi Sabbath ni to patoh hanah, Jeremiah mah thuih ih Angraeng ih lok baktih toengah, saning quisarihto akoep ai karoek to prae thungah kami angqai krangah ohhaih atue thungah ni Sabbath ni to zah o.
So to fulfill the Lord's prophecy given through Jeremiah, the land enjoyed its Sabbaths as rest all the time it was left desolate, keeping the Sabbath until seventy years were completed.
22 Persia siangpahrang Cyrus angraenghaih saningto haih naah, Jeremiah mah thuih ih Angraeng ih lok to akoep hanah, Angraeng mah Persia siangpahrang Cyrus ih palungthin to pahruek pae; anih mah prae thung boih ah lok to taphong moe, hae tiah ca tarik,
In the first year of Cyrus, king of Persia, to fulfill the Lord's prophecy given through Jeremiah, the Lord encouraged Cyrus, king of Persia, to issue a proclamation throughout his kingdom and also to put it in writing, saying,
23 Persia siangpahrang Cyrus mah, Van ih Angraeng Sithaw mah long nui ih prae boih hae kai hanah paek boeh; Judah prae, Jerusalem ah, Anih han im sak pae hanah kai hae ang suek boeh. Anih loe angmah ih kami ah kaom nangcae khae boih ah oh, Judah prae ah caeh tahang han koeh kaminawk loe angmah ih Angraeng Sithaw mah om thui nasoe, tiah a naa.
“This is what Cyrus king of Persia says: ‘The Lord, the God of heaven, who has given to me all the kingdoms of the earth, has given me the responsibility to build a Temple for him at Jerusalem in Judah. Anyone among you who belongs to his people can go there. May the Lord your God be with you.’”
