2 Khokhuen 36

1 Khohmuen pilnam loh Josiah capa Jehoahaz te a loh uh tih anih te a napa yueng la Jerusalem ah a manghai sakuh.

And the people of the land took Jehoachaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in his father's stead in Jerusalem.

2 Jehoahaz a manghai vaengah kum kul kum thum lo ca pueng tih Jerusalem ah hla thum manghai.

Twenty and three years old was Joachaz when he became king, and three months did he reign in Jerusalem.

3 Tedae anih te Egypt manghai loh Jerusalem ah a khoe tih khohmuen te cak talent yakhat, sui talent khat neh a sah sak.

And the king of Egypt deposed him at Jerusalem, and imposed a fine on the land of a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.

4 Egypt manghai loh Jehoahaz mana Eliakim te Judah neh Jerusalem ah a manghai sak tih a ming te Jehoiakim la a tho pah. Tedae a maya Jehoahaz te tah Neko loh a loh tih Egypt la a khuen.

And the king of Egypt made Elyakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoyakim. And Joachaz his brother did Necho take away, and bring him to Egypt.

5 Jehoiakim te a manghai vaengah kum kul neh kum nga lo ca pueng tih Jerusalem ah kum hlai khat manghai. Tedae a Pathen BOEIPA mikhmuh ah boethae ni a saii.

Twenty and five years old was Jehoyakim when he became king, and eleven years did he reign in Jerusalem: and he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord his God.

6 Anih te Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar loh a muk tih anih te Babylon la khuen ham rhohum neh a khih.

Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and he bound him with fetters, to carry him away to Babylon.

7 BOEIPA im kah hnopai te khaw Nebukhanezar loh Babylon la a khuen. Te te Babylon kah amah bawkim ah a khueh.

And some of the vessels of the house of the Lord did Nebuchadnezzar carry to Babylon, and he placed them in his temple at Babylon.

8 Jehoiakim kah ol kah noi neh amah kah tueilaehkoi a saii te khaw, anih taengah aka thoeng te khaw, te rhoek te Israel neh Judah manghai rhoek kah cabu dongah a daek coeng ke. Te phoeiah a capa Jehoiakhin te anih yueng la manghai.

And the rest of the acts of Jehoyakim, and his abominable deeds which he did, and that which was found concerning him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. And Jehoyachin his son became king in his stead.

9 Jehoiakhin a manghai vaengah kum rhet lo ca pueng tih Jerusalem ah hla thum neh hnin rha manghai. Tedae BOEIPA mikhmuh ah boethae ni a saii.

Eight years old was Jehoyachin when he became king, and three months and ten days did he reign in Jerusalem: and he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord.

10 Kum a thok vaengah tah manghai Nebukhanezar loh hlang a tueih tih anih te BOEIPA im kah sahnaih hnopai neh Babylon la a khuen. Te phoeiah a manuca Zedekiah te Judah neh Jerusalem ah a manghai sak.

And with the expiration of the year did king Nebuchadnezzar send and had him brought to Babylon, with the costly vessels of the house of the Lord: and he made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem,

11 Zedekiah a manghai vaengah kum kul neh kum khat loh ca pueng tih Jerusalem ah kum hlai khat manghai.

Twenty and one years old was Zedekiah when he became king, and eleven years did he reign in Jerusalem.

12 Tedae a Pathen BOEIPA mikhmuh ah boethae ni a saii. BOEIPA olka dongkah tonghma Jeremiah mikhmuh ah khaw a kunyun moenih.

And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord his God: he humbled himself not before Jeremiah the prophet, according to the order of the Lord.

13 Manghai Nebukhanezar te khaw a tloelh tih anih te Pathen neh a toemngam thil. A rhawn te a siing tih Israel Pathen BOEIPA taengla mael ham khaw a thin te thah.

And also against king Nebuchadnezzar did he rebel, who had made him swear by God; but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart so as not to return unto the Lord the God of Israel.

14 Khosoih rhoek neh pilnam mangpa boeih khaw boekoek la ping uh. Namtom rhoek kah tueilaehkoi bang boeih la boekoeknah neh boe a koek uh tih Jerusalem ah a ciim BOEIPA im te a poeih uh.

Also all the chiefs of the priests and the people committed manifold trespasses, like all the abominable acts of the [foreign] nations: and they defiled the house of the Lord which he had hallowed in Jerusalem.

15 A pilnam so neh a khuirhung soah khaw lungma a ti dongah thoh ham neh tueih hamla a napa rhoek kah Pathen BOEIPA loh amih taengla a puencawn rhoek kut neh a tueih.

And the Lord the God of their fathers sent to them by means of his messengers, making [them] rise early, and sending [them]: because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling-place;

16 Tedae Pathen kah puencawn rhoek taengah pahoeh palaeh la om uh. Te dongah a ol te a sawtsit uh tih a tonghma rhoek te a phok uh. A pilnam taengah hoeihnah a om pawt hil BOEIPA kah kosi a paan uh aih.

But they mocked at the messengers of God, and despised his words, and scorned his prophets, until the fury of the Lord arose against his people, till there was no remedy.

17 Te dongah amih taengla Khalden kah Khalden manghai te a thak pah tih a tongpang rhoek te amamih kah rhokso im ah cunghang neh a ngawn pah. Tongpang neh oila khaw, patong neh hamca khaw lungma ti kolla anih kut ah boeih a paek.

And he brought over them the king of the Chaldeans, who slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or virgin, the old man, and the aged: all did he give up into his hand.

18 Pathen im kah hnopai boeih a yit a len khaw, BOEIPA im kah thakvoh khaw, manghai neh a mangpa rhoek kah thakvoh khaw, Babylon la boeih pawk.

And all the vessels of the house of God, the great and the small, and the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king and of his princes, —all these did he carry to Babylon.

19 Pathen im te a hoeh uh tih Jerusalem vongtung te a palet uh. A impuei boeih te hmai neh a hoeh uh tih a ngailaemnah hnopai boeih te khaw a phae uh.

And they burnt the house of God, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem, and all her palaces they burnt with fire, and all her costly vessels they gave up to destruction.

20 cunghang lamkah aka a meet rhoek te Babylon la a poelyoe tih amah taeng neh a ca rhoek taengah Persia ram a manghai hil sal la om uh.

And those that had escaped from the sword did he carry into exile to Babylon: and they were servants to him and to his sons until the kingdom of Persia came to the government:

21 Jeremiah ka dongkah BOEIPA ol te cup ham dongah khohmuen loh a Sabbath a ngaingaih hil a pong khohnin te kum sawmrhih boeih a cup duela kangkuen.

To fulfill the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had satisfied its sabbaths: all the days of its desolation it rested, till seventy years were completed.

22 Persia manghai Cyrus kah kum khat vaengah tah Jeremiah ka dongkah BOEIPA ol te a cup sak ham BOEIPA loh Persia manghai Cyrus kah mueihla te a haeng pah. Te dongah a ram pum ah ol a thak tih cadaek nen khaw,

And in the first year of Cyrus the king of Persia, at the completion of the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah, did the Lord stir up the spirit of Cyrus the king of Persia, so that he caused a proclamation to be made throughout all his kingdom, and also by means of writing, saying,

23 “Persia manghai Cyrus loh he ni a thui. Diklai ram tom he vaan kah Pathen BOEIPA loh kai taengah m'paek coeng. Amah loh kai he Judah kah Jerusalem ah a im sa la m'hmoel coeng. Nangmih khuikah long te khaw a pilnam cungkuem taeng lamloh a taengkah a Pathen BOEIPA neh pongpa saeh,” a ti nah.

Thus hath said Cyrus the king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth hath the Lord the God of heaven given me, and he hath charged me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever there is among you of all his people, may the Lord his God be with him, and let him go up.
