2 Kings 24
1 While Jehoiakim was ruling [Judah, the army of] King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon invaded Judah. [They defeated the Judean army, and as a result, ] Jehoiakim was required to pay a lot of tribute/taxes to King Nebuchadnezzar. But after three years, Jehoiakim rebelled.
Jehoiakim vaihom laijin Babylon lengpa Nebuchadnezzer in Judah gam’ah gal ahin sattan ahileh, Jehoiakim in kisatpi louvin amale agamsung jouse chu Nebuchadnezzer khut’ah ana kipelut tan ahi. Aman kum thum sungin kai anapen, chuche jouvin akiphintan ahi.
2 Then Yahweh sent raiders from Babylonia and Syria, and from the Moab and Ammon people-groups, to attack the people of Judah and get rid of them, just as Yahweh had told his prophets to warn the people would happen.
Hichun Pakaiyin Babylon mite, Syria mite, Moab mite, Ammon mite ahin tildoh in Pakaiyin themgao ho kam’a ana phondoh sahbang bangin aguilhung tan ahi.
3 These things happened to the people of Judah according to what Yahweh commanded. [He had decided] to get rid of the people of Judah because of the many sins that King Manasseh [had committed].
Hitobang hamsetna Judah gam’ah ahunglhun hi Pakai thupeh akon ahi. Aman amitmu’a kona Judahte atolmang kigutna ajeh hi Manasseh in thilse tamtah ana boldoh jeh ahi.
4 Manasseh had even caused many innocent people in Jerusalem to be killed, and Yahweh would not forgive that.
Chule Jerusalem a themmona neilou thisan anaso’a ana hesosah jeh ahi, Pakaiyin hichu a ngaidam lou ahi.
5 The other things that happened while Jehoiakim was king, and all the things that he did, are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
Jehoiakim vaihom sunga thilsoh dangho jouse jong Judahte lengho thusim kijihna lekhabua aumin ahi.
6 When Jehoiakim died, his son Jehoiachin became the king.
Jehoiakim chu athi phat’in, achapa Jehoiachin lengin ahung pangtan ahi.
7 [The army of] the king of Babylon [defeated the army of Egypt, and] took control of all the area that the Egyptians formerly controlled, from the brook [at the border] of Egypt [in the south] to the Euphrates River [in the north]. So [the army of] the king of Egypt did not return [to attack Judah] again.
Egypt lengpan hichejou apat hin ahung galkondoh jou tapon ahi, ajeh chu Babylon lengpan Egypt in kagam ahi tia ahopsah chengse chu Babylon lengpan abonna alahpeh soh ahitai. Aman ana kilah lut gam hochu Egypt vadunga apat Euphrates vadung chan-gei ahi.
8 Jehoiachin was 18 years old when he became the king of Judah. His mother’s name was Nehushta; she was the daughter of a man from Jerusalem named Elnathan. Jehoiachin ruled in Jerusalem for [only] three months.
Jehoiachin chu alengchan kum chun ama kum somle kum get alhingtan ahi, chuleh aman Jerusalem chu lha thum bou lengvai anapon ahi. Anu chu Jerusalem makon Elnathan chanu Nehushta ahi.
9 Jehoiachin did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, just as his father had done.
Jehoiachin in apa bang bangin Pakai mitmu’n thilse jeng anabol in ahi.
10 [While Jehoiachin was king, ] some officers of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon came [along with the whole Babylonian army] to Jerusalem, and they surrounded the city.
Jehoiachin vaihom sungin, Nebuchadnezzer in Babylon akonin anoija sepai pipui ho ahinsollin Jerusalem ahung umkhum tauvin ahi.
11 While they were doing that, Nebuchadnezzar himself came to the city.
Hichun Nebuchadnezzer amatah jong hiche khopi aum sungu hin ahung lhungtan ahi.
12 Then King Jehoiachin and his mother and his advisors and important officers and palace officials all surrendered to the Babylonian army. These thngs happened when Nebuchadnezzar had been king for eight years. He arrested Jehoiachin and took him to Babylon.
Hichun Jehoiachin lengpan lengnu toh ama thumop hotoh, asepai lamkaiho le pipuho Babylonte khut’ah akipelut tauvin ahi. Nebuchadnezzer lengvai ahom kum som le kum get alhin in, Jehoiachin chu aman’in soh chang dingin ana kai tauvin ahi.
13 Just as Yahweh had said would happen, Nebuchadnezzar’s [soldiers] took [to Babylon] all the valuable things from Yahweh’s temple and from the king’s palace. They cut apart all the gold items that King Solomon had put in the temple.
Pakaiyin ana phondohsa bangin Nebuchadnezzer in Pakai houin akonin chuleh leng inpia konin sumle pai, sana dangka, neile gou ho jouse le, sana akisem thil-ho jouse, Solomon’in houin a ana koiho abonchan achom theng hel tan ahi.
14 They took from Jerusalem [to Babylon] 10,000 people, including the important officials and the best soldiers and the people who made and repaired things that were made of metal. Only the very poor people were left in Judah.
Hiti chun Nebuchadnezzer in Jerusalem khopi sung’a cheng jouse, asepai lamkai ho jouse le sepai galsat themho jouse, khut thepna neiho le thilsem themho abonchan mihem sangsom tobang Babylon gamlang’a akaijin ahi.
15 Nebuchadnezzar’s soldiers also took to Babylon Jehoiachin’s wives and officials, his mother, and [all] the important people.
Nebuchadnezzer in Jehoiachin lengpa, lengnu anu, ajite ho chule apipui ho jaonan Babylon gam'a akaimang tan ahi
16 They also took to Babylon 7,000 of the best soldiers and 1,000 men who knew how to make and repair things that are made from metal. All of these people whom they took were strong and able to fight in wars.
Chuleh aman sepai ahangsan cheh sang sagi leh khut thepna neiho abon’un mihat galsat thei cheh sangkhat ho chu gam chom’ah asoldoh tan ahi.
17 Then the king of Babylon appointed Jehoiachin’s uncle, Mattaniah, to be the king [of Judah], and he changed Mattaniah’s name to Zedekiah.
Hichun Babylon lengpan Jehoiachin pa’ngah pa Mattaniah chu leng in atung in, chule amin jong akhellin, Zedakiah asahtai.
18 When Zedekiah was twenty-one years old, he became king, and he ruled in Jerusalem for eleven years. His mother’s name was Hamutal; she was the daughter of a man named Jeremiah from Libnah [town].
Zedekiah leng ahung chan kum chun ama kum somni le khat ana lhingtan ahi. Aman Jerusalem’ah kum somle khat sungin lengvai ana pon ahi. Anu chu Libnah akon Jeremiah chanu Hamutal ahi.
19 But Zedekiah did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, just as Jehoiakim had done.
Ahinlah Zedekiah in Jehoiakim bol bang bangin Pakai mitmu’n thilse jeng anabol’in ahi.
20 Yahweh was very angry. So (and finally/after he had been patient a long time) he expelled the people of Jerusalem and [the other places in] Judah and sent them to Babylon. [That is what happened when] Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
Jerusalem leh Judah chung’ah thilsoh ho achuhna jeh hi, Pakai lunghan jeh ahi. Hijeh chun Pakaiyin, ama angsunga kona apaidoh a, hitia hi gamchom’a sohchang gam’ah ahi tauve. Zedekiah hin Babylon lengpa a konin kiphinna anei tan ahi.
