Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz son of Josiah and made him king in Jerusalem in place of his father.

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 Neco chun Joahaz sopipa Eliakim chu amin khelpeh in Jehoiakim asah in Judah te lengin apansah tan ahi. Joahaz vangchu Egypt lang apuitaan ahi

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 chu Judah te lengpa ahung panchun kum 25 (Som ni le nga) alhingtaan ahi, aman Jerusalem mah kum 11 geijin vai apon ahi. Amahin Pakai pathen dounaan chonset anabollin ahi

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 Babylon lengpa Nebuchadnezzer chun Judah te chunga gal ahin bollin Jehoiakim chu aman nin thih kollin Babylon geijin akaijin ahi

Then Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against Jehoiakim and bound him with bronze shackles to take him to Babylon.

7 Nabuchadnezzer chun houin na kon in thiltam tah jong apodoh in, Babylon na lengte inpia akoijin ahi

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 thilbol ho jouse leh kidah umtah thilse ana bolho jouse chu Israel te leh Judah te lenghon thusim bu a akijihlut sohkeijin ahi, Amahi achapa Jehoiachin nin akhellin leng ahung changin ahi

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 Jehoiachin Judah te leng ahung chanchun kum 18 ahung lhingtan ahi, chuleh amahin Jerusalem mah lha thum leh ni som vai nahommin ahi. Amajong hin Pakai dounan chonset ana bollin ahi

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.

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 Judah te lenga ahung pan chunk um 21 (Som ni le khat) alhingtan ahi, ama Jerusalem mah kum 11 (Som le khat) anavaihom min ahi

Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eleven years.

12 Aman Pakai dounan chonset ana bollin aman Pakaija konna thu aphondoh hojong ana nahsah pon ahi

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 Zedekiah chu Nachadnezzer lengpan ama thuneina noija kitah a pan lajing dinga Pathen minna anakitep sah ahin, ahivangin ama dounan na ahin tong tan ahi. Amahin Israel Pathen Pakai anga kilekit na kisuhnemding ana nompon ahi

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 Hiche tilouvin jong Judah lamkaiho leh thempu ho chuleh amipiteo chun avelluva cheng namdang ho chonset bol ajuijun doiphung ahou un Pakai amatah in anasuh theng houin jong chu ana suboh un ahi

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 Apu apateo Pakaiyin ama ho gihsal dingin a themgao hou ahin soljingin ahi. Ajeh chu aman amite a houin chu athenga aumding akhohsah ahi

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 Ahinlah amahon Pathen thuhil chu anahsah pouvin athupeh adoudal un a themgao ho anuisatnun Pathen lunghanna achunguva achuh a ahoidoh nadiu abeihel tokah in Pathen doumah abollun ahi

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 Hijeh hin Pakaiyin achunguvah Babylon lengpa anokhum sah jin ahi. Lengpan Judah khangthah teho chu houin sung geijin athatnin ahi. Aman khangdong leh tehse numei pasal, adamle adamlou khoto na aneipon ahi. Pathen nin lengpa khutnah apedoh gamsih seh in ahi

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 Babylon lengpan houin sunga thilman lutah tah ho lengpa leh anoija natong lamkai ho neile gou hojouse chu achommin Babylon langah akinung letan ahi

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 Aman houin leh khopi chu ahal lha in, leng inpi ahin anei agou ho jouse ahin achommin khopi paljong avolhu jengin ahi

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 Aman mipi ahingdoh ho jouse chu Babylon na atollut nin hiche achun amahon amaleh ason apah hogeijin soh a ahin

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 Pathennin Jeremiah themgao komma ana phondoh: “Agamchu kum 70 (Som sagi) sunga ahomkeova hung kijamding – cholngah ni ana nitlou nao kum hochu anasah doh sah got ahi”

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 Persia lengpa Cyrus chu leng ahung chan kum masapen nin Pakaiyin themgao Jeremiah ana seidoh sahchu ahin guilhun sah in ahi. Aman Cyrus chu hitihin thupeh ahin neisah in hichu agamsung pumpia kithong tah a simdoh tho dingin anjih thon ahi

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 Hichehi Persia lengpa Cyrus thupeh ahi “Pakai van Pathen nin vannoi leiset apumpia ei vaihom sah in chuleh Juda gam ma um Jerusalem ma houin tundoh na ding ngin mopohna jong eipen ahi. Tun Pathen mite hojouse chu nagam languva nakile diu ahi tai, Pakai na Pathennu chun napui taohen” atin ahi

“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.’”
