As for the other matters concerning Jehoiakim, the disgusting things that he did, and what was found against him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel. Then Jehoiachin, his son, became king in his place.

In the spring, King Nebuchadnezzar sent men and brought him to Babylon, with the valuable things from the house of Yahweh, and made Zedekiah, his relative, king over Judah and Jerusalem.

He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh his God. He did not humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet, who spoke from the mouth of Yahweh.

Zedekiah also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear loyalty to him by God. But Zedekiah stiffened his neck and hardened his heart against turning to Yahweh, 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.
Moreover, all the leaders of the priests and the people were extremely unfaithful, and they followed the disgusting practices of the nations. They polluted the house of Yahweh which he had consecrated 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.
Yahweh, the God of their ancestors, sent word to them by his messengers again and again, because he had compassion on his people and on the place where he lives.
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 God's messengers, despised his words, and scoffed at his prophets, until the wrath of Yahweh arose against his people, until there was no help for it.
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.
So God brought on them the king of the Chaldeans, who killed their young men with the sword in the sanctuary, and had no compassion on young men or virgins, old men or the gray-haired. God gave them all 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.
All the furnishings of the house of God, great and small, the treasures of the house of Yahweh, and the treasures of the king and his officials—all these he took 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.
They burned down the house of God, broke down the wall of Jerusalem, burned all its palaces, and destroyed all the beautiful things in it.
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.
The king carried away to Babylon those who had escaped the sword. They became servants for him and his sons until the rule of the kingdom of Persia.
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.
This happened to fulfill the word of Yahweh by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land should have enjoyed its Sabbath rests. It observed its Sabbath for as long as it lay abandoned, in order to pass seventy years in this way.
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,
Now in the first year of Cyrus, king of Persia, so that the word of Yahweh by the mouth of Jeremiah might be carried out, Yahweh motivated the spirit of Cyrus, king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing. He said,
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.
“This is what Cyrus, king of Persia, says: Yahweh, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth. He has commanded me to build a house for him in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever is among you from all his people, may Yahweh your God, be with you. Let him go up to the land.”
