1 Hahoi, khocanaw ni Josiah capa Jehoahaz hah a ceikhai awh teh, Jerusalem vah a na pa yueng lah siangpahrang a tawk sak awh.
Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz son of Josiah and made him king in Jerusalem in place of his father.
2 Jehoahaz teh siangpahrang a tawk nah kum 23 touh a pha teh, Jerusalem vah thapa yung thum touh a bawi.
Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months.
3 Izip siangpahrang ni Jerusalem siangpahrang lah onae a kâhat sak. A ram heh ngun tangka talen 100 touh hoi sui talen 4 touh a rawng sak.
And the king of Egypt dethroned him in Jerusalem and imposed on Judah a levy of a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
4 Izip siangpahrang ni a nawngha Eliakim teh Judah hoi Jerusalem siagpahrang lah a tawk sak. A min teh Jehoiakim telah a thung pouh teh, Neko ni a nawngha Jehoahaz teh Izip ram a ceikhai.
Then Neco king of Egypt made Eliakim brother of Jehoahaz king over Judah and Jerusalem, and he changed Eliakim’s name to Jehoiakim. But Neco took Eliakim’s brother Jehoahaz and carried him off to Egypt.
5 Jehoiakim teh siangpahrang a tawk nah, kum 25 touh a pha teh, Jerusalem vah kum 11 touh a bawi. BAWIPA Cathut e hmaitung hawihoehnae ouk a sak.
Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eleven years. And he did evil in the sight of the LORD his God.
6 Babilon siangpahrang Nebukhadnezar ni ahni tuk hanelah a tho teh, Babilon lah ceikhai hanelah, sum bawtarui hoi a ka tek.
Then Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against Jehoiakim and bound him with bronze shackles to take him to Babylon.
7 Nebukhadnezar ni BAWIPA e im dawk e hnopainaw hah Babilon lah a ceikhai awh teh, Babilon e a Cathut e im dawk a ta.
Nebuchadnezzar also took to Babylon some of the articles from the house of the LORD, and he put them in his temple in Babylon.
8 Jehoiakim kâroenae kaawm rae naw pueng hoi, panuetkatho e hno a sak e naw hoi, a khosaknae naw teh khenhaw! Isarel hoi Judah siangpahrangnaw e lairui cauk dawk thut lah ao. Hahoi a capa Jehoiakim ni a yueng lah let a bawi.
As for the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, the abominations he committed, and all that was found against him, they are indeed written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah. And his son Jehoiachin reigned in his place.
9 Jehoiakim teh siangpahrang a tawk nah kum 18 touh a pha. Jerusalem vah thapa yung thum touh hoi hnin hra touh a bawi. BAWIPA e hmaitung hawihoehnae ouk a sak.
Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months and ten days. And he did evil in the sight of the LORD.
10 Hote kum abaw toteh, siangpahrang Nebukhadnezar ni a tami a poun teh ahni teh, BAWIPA im dawk e hnopai kahawi poung e hoi Babilon lah a hrawi awh. A nawngha Zedekiah hah Judah ram hoi Jerusalem vah, siangpahrang a tawk sak awh.
In the spring, King Nebuchadnezzar summoned Jehoiachin and brought him to Babylon, along with the articles of value from the house of the LORD. And he made Jehoiachin’s relative Zedekiah king over Judah and Jerusalem.
11 Zedekiah teh siangpahrang a tawk nah, kum 21 touh a pha. Jerusalem vah kum 11 touh a uk.
Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eleven years.
12 BAWIPA Cathut hmaitung kahawihoehe hno a sak teh, BAWIPA lawk ka dei e profet Jeremiah e hmalah kârahnoum ngai hoeh.
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD his God and did not humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet, who spoke for the LORD.
13 Cathut min lahoi lawk ka kam kung siangpahrang Nebukhadnezar taranlahoi taran a thaw. A lung a pata sak teh, Isarel BAWIPA Cathut koe lah, kamlang hoeh nahanlah a lungtang sak.
He also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God. But Zedekiah stiffened his neck and hardened his heart against turning to the LORD, the God of Israel.
14 Vaihmanaw pueng hoi, tamimayanaw pueng nihai, Cathut ka panuek hoeh naw ni a sak awh e patet e panuetkatho poung e hno hah a sak awh. Jerusalem kathoung sak e BAWIPA im hai a khin sak awh.
Furthermore, all the leaders of the priests and the people multiplied their unfaithful deeds, following all the abominations of the nations, and they defiled the house of the LORD, which He had consecrated in Jerusalem.
15 A na mintoenaw e BAWIPA Cathut ni kâhruetcuetnae poe hanelah amom a thaw teh, patounenaw hah ahnimouh koe a patoun. Bangkongtetpawiteh, tamimaya hoi a onae hmuen hai a pouk.
Again and again the LORD, the God of their fathers, sent word to His people through His messengers because He had compassion on them and on His dwelling place.
16 Hateiteh, ahnimouh taranlahoi BAWIPA lungkhuek sak teh, a roum hoeh totouh Cathut e patounenaw hah a panuikhai awh teh, a lawk hah a dudam awh teh, a profet hah a dudam awh.
But they mocked the messengers of God, despising His words and scoffing at His prophets, until the wrath of the LORD against His people was stirred up beyond remedy.
17 Hatdawkvah, Khaldean siangpahrang hah ahnimouh koe a matheng sak teh, ahni ni thoundounnaw hah hmuen kathoung koe a thei. Thoundoun tangla hoi hnamthun e matawng totouh pahrennae tawn laipalah ahnimae kut dawk koung a poe.
So He brought up against them the king of the Chaldeans, who put their young men to the sword in the sanctuary, sparing neither young men nor young women, neither elderly nor infirm. God gave them all into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar,
18 Cathut im dawk kaawm e hlaamnaw pueng kathoung kalen hoi BAWIPA im dawk ta e hnopai pueng, siangpahrang hno pâtung e hoi kahrawikungnaw e hno pâtung e totouh, Babilon vah a ceikhai.
who carried off everything to Babylon—all the articles of the house of God, both large and small, and the treasures of the house of the LORD and of the king and his officials.
19 Cathut e im hai hmai a sawi awh teh, Jerusalem kalupnae hai koung a raphoe awh. Haw e im kalenpui hah hmai a sawi awh teh, haw e hlaam kahawihnawn kaawm e pueng hai, koung a raphoe awh.
Then the Chaldeans set fire to the house of God and broke down the wall of Jerusalem. They burned down all the palaces and destroyed every article of value.
20 Persia uknaeram ni a uk hoehnahlan totouh, ama hoi a capa san lah a coung roinae hmuen koe, tahloi dawk hoi ka hlout e hah Babilon lah a ceikhai awh teh,
Those who escaped the sword were carried by Nebuchadnezzar into exile in Babylon, and they became servants to him and his sons until the kingdom of Persia came to power.
21 Isarel ram ni sabbath hnin a lunghawi hoehroukrak, Jeremiah pahni hno lahoi, BAWIPA e lawk akuep nahanelah doeh. Kum 70 kuepsaknae hnin dawkvah, tami kingdi lah onae tueng pueng dawk ram ni sabbath hah a ya han.
So the land enjoyed its Sabbath rest all the days of the desolation, until seventy years were completed, in fulfillment of the word of the LORD through Jeremiah.
22 Hat toteh, siangpahrang Sairus a bawi hoi Jeremiah e pahni hno lahoi BAWIPA lawk a kuep thai nahanelah, uknaeram pueng dawk pathang hane hoi thut hane hai BAWIPA ni Persia siangpahrang Sairus lungthin hah a tho sak.
In the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, to fulfill the word of the LORD spoken through Jeremiah, the LORD stirred the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia to send a proclamation throughout his kingdom and to put it in writing as follows:
23 Persia siangpahrang Sairus ni hettelah a dei. Talai siangpahrang uknaeramnaw pueng teh, kalvan e BAWIPA Cathut ni na poe toe. Hahoi Judah ram dawk kaawm e Jerusalem vah im sak pouh hanelah kâ na poe. Amae taminaw pueng koe apimaw kaawm. BAWIPA Cathut hah ahni koe awm naseh, luen sak awh.
“This is what Cyrus king of Persia says: ‘The LORD, the God of heaven, who has given me all the kingdoms of the earth, has appointed me to build a house for Him at Jerusalem in Judah. Whoever among you belongs to His people, may the LORD his God be with him, and may he go up.’”
