At the return of the year, King Nebuchadnezzar sent and brought him to Babylon, with the valuable vessels of the LORD’s house, and made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem.

He did that which was evil in the LORD his God’s sight. He didn’t humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet speaking from the LORD’s mouth.

He also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God; but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart against turning to the LORD, the God of Israel.

Moreover all the chiefs of the priests and the people trespassed very greatly after all the abominations of the nations; and they polluted the LORD’s house which he had made holy in Jerusalem.
15 LEUM GOD lun papa matu tumalos El supu mwet palu pacl puspis in sensenkakin mwet lal, mweyen El pakomutalos ac kena tuh elos in tia tuhlac, ac Tempul in tia musalla.
The LORD, the God of their fathers, sent to them by his messengers, rising up early and sending, because he had compassion on his people and on his dwelling place;
16 Tusruktu, elos aksruksruki mwet su God El supu nu yorolos, ac pilesru kas lal, ac isrun mwet palu lal, nwe ke pacl se kasrkusrak lun LEUM GOD arulana upala lainulos, ac elos tia ku in kaingkunla.
but they mocked the messengers of God, despised his words, and scoffed at his prophets, until the LORD’s wrath arose against his people, until there was no remedy.
17 Ouinge LEUM GOD El use tokosra lun Babylonia in mweunelos. Tokosra sac el uniya mwet fusr lun Judah, elos finne muta in Tempul. Wangin pakoten lal nu sin mwet uh — mwet fusr ku mwet matu, mukul ku mutan, mwet mas ku mwet ku. God El eisalosyang nukewa nu inpaol.
Therefore he brought on them the king of the Chaldeans, who killed their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion on young man or virgin, old man or infirm. He gave them all into his hand.
18 Tokosra Babylonia el wapi Tempul, ac iwen fil ma saok lun Tempul, ac mwe kasrup lun tokosra ac mwet pwapa lal, ac usla ma inge nukewa nu Babylon.
All the vessels of God’s house, great and small, and the treasures of the LORD’s house, and the treasures of the king and of his princes, all these he brought to Babylon.
19 El esukak Tempul ac siti uh, wi pac lohm nukewa sin tokosra ac mwe kasrup we, ac kunausya pot lun siti uh.
They burnt God’s house, broke down the wall of Jerusalem, burnt all its palaces with fire, and destroyed all of its valuable vessels.
20 El usla mwet nukewa ma tia misa ke mweun nu Babylonia, yen elos ac mwet kohs nu sel ac tulik natul we, nwe ke pacl se Tokosrai Persia tuyak.
He carried those who had escaped from the sword away to Babylon, and they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia,
21 Ouinge akpwayeyuk kas ma LEUM GOD El tuh fahk nu sel Jeremiah mwet palu, ke El fahk, “Acn uh ac fah musalla oan ke yac itngoul, in aolla Yac in Sabbath nukewa ma mwet uh tia akfulatye.”
to fulfil the LORD’s word by Jeremiah’s mouth, until the land had enjoyed its Sabbaths. As long as it lay desolate, it kept Sabbath, to fulfil seventy years.
22 In yac se meet ma Cyrus lun Persia el Tokosra Fulat, kas lun LEUM GOD su tutafme sel Jeremiah mwet palu, akpwayeiyukla. God El aknunakyal Cyrus tuh elan supwalik sie ma simla, in tuh ritiyuk in tokosrai nukewa ma el leum fac, su fahk:
Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the LORD’s word by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,
23 “Pa inge ma sap sel Cyrus, Tokosra Fulat lun Persia. LEUM GOD lun kusrao El oru tuh nga in leum fin faclu nufon, ac El srisrngiyuwi tuh nga in musai sie Tempul nu sel in Jerusalem in facl Judah. Inge, kowos nukewa su mwet lun God, kowos folokla nu we, ac lela tuh LEUM GOD lowos in wi kowos.”
“Cyrus king of Persia says, ‘The LORD, the God of heaven, has given all the kingdoms of the earth to me; and he has commanded me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever there is amongst you of all his people, the LORD his God be with him, and let him go up.’”
