¹And the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in his father's stead, in Jerusalem.

¹Huchiin huai gama miten Josia tapa Jehoahaz a pi ua, Jerusalem ah a pa sikin kumpipa dingin a bawl uh.

²Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.

²Jehoahaz bel a lal pattungin kum sawmnih leh kum thum ahi a, Jerusalem ah kha thum a lal.

³And the king of Egypt put him down at Jerusalem, and imposed a fine upon the land of a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.

³Aigupta kumpipan Jerusalema a lalna a tawpsaka, a gam uh dangkasik talent ja leh dangkaeng talent khat a liau sak hi.

⁴And the king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. And Necho took Jehoahaz his brother, and carried him to Egypt.

⁴Huan, Aigupata kumpipan a unaupa Eliakim Juda leh Jerusalema kumpipa dingin a bawla, a min Jehoiakim chiin a khen sak hi. Huan, Nekoin a unaupa Jehozhaz Aigupta gamah a pi hi.

⁵Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem; and he did evil in the sight of Jehovah his God.

⁵Jehoiakim bel a lal pattungin kum sawmnih leh kum nga ahi a, Jerusalem ah kum sawm leh kum khat a lala: TOUPA a Pathian mitmuhin thil hoih lou ahih sek hi.

⁶Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bound him with chains of brass to carry him to Babylon.

⁶Babulon kumpipa Nebukadnezzar amah sual dingin a hongkuana, Babulona pi dingin kol a bunsak hi.

⁷And Nebuchadnezzar carried [part] of the vessels of the house of Jehovah to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon.

⁷Nebukadnezzarin TOUPA ina tuiumbelsuante leng Babulon ah a laa, Babulona a pathian biakin ah a koih hi.

⁸And the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and his abominations which he did, and that which was found in him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. And Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead.

⁸Jehoiakim tanchin dang te, a thil kihhuai hihte leh a omdante ngaidih, Israel kumpipa leh Juda kumpipate tanchin bu ah a tuanga; huan, a tapa Jehoiakin a sikin a lalta hi.

⁹Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem; and he did evil in the sight of Jehovah.

⁹Jehoiakin alal pattungin kum giat a ahia, Jerusalem ah kha thum leh ni sawm a lala, TOUPA mitmuh in thil hoih lou a hih sek hi.

¹⁰And at the turn of the year king Nebuchadnezzar sent and had him brought to Babylon, with the precious vessels of the house of Jehovah; and he made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem.

¹⁰Huan, kum a hong beiin kumpipa Nebukadnezzarin mi a sawla, TOUPA ina tuiumbelsuan hoih pipite toh Babulon ah a pi saka, a unaupa Zedekia Juda gam leh Jerusalema kumpipa dingin a bawl hi.

¹¹Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.

¹¹Zedekia bel a lal pattungin kum sawmnih leh kum khat ahi a, Jerusalem ah kum sawm leh kum khat a lala:

¹²And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah his God; he humbled not himself before the prophet Jeremiah speaking from the mouth of Jehovah.

¹²TOUPA a Pathian mitmuhin thil hoih lou a hih saka; TOUPA kama kipana thu genpa jawlnei Jeremia lakah a kiniamkhiak nuam keia,

¹³And he also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him take oath by God; and he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart from returning to Jehovah the God of Israel.

¹³Pathian mina kichiamsakpa kumpipa Nebukadnezzar tungah a hel laia, paupengin a om a, TOUPA Israel Pathian lam nga lou dingin a lungsim a khauh sak hi.

¹⁴All the chiefs of the priests also, and the people, increased their transgressions, according to all the abominations of the nations; and they defiled the house of Jehovah which he had hallowed in Jerusalem.

¹⁴Siampu heutu tengteng leh mipiten leng Pathian theilou mite bangmahin thil kihhuai pipite a hih ua; Jerusalema a hihsiangthou TOUPA inte leng a hihbuah uh.

¹⁵And Jehovah 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.

¹⁵Huan, TOUPA a pi leh pute uh Pathianin a kianguah theihtawpa phatuamngaiin mi a sawla, a mite leh a omna mun a lainat jiakin;

¹⁶But they mocked at the messengers of God, and despised his words, and scoffed at his prophets, until the fury of Jehovah rose against his people, and there was no remedy.

¹⁶Himahleh Pathian mi sawlte a namusit ua, a thute a ngaineu ua, a mite tunga TOUPA hehna a hongthou a, hihlungdamnawnna mahmah om lou khopin a jawlnei a hihgim uhi.

¹⁷And he brought up [against] them the king of the Chaldees, and slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and spared not young man nor maiden, old man nor him of hoary head: he gave [them] all into his hand.

¹⁷Huaijiakin Kaldai kumpipa a tunguah a gamtang saka, aman a tangvalte uh a mun siangthou uah namsauin a thata, nungak leh tangval leng, tek leng, teksia leng lainatna himhim a neikeia; a khutah a pevek hi.

¹⁸And all the vessels of the house of God, great and small, and the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the king and of his princes, he brought all to Babylon.

¹⁸Huan, Pathian ina tuiumbelsuan tengteng, a lian leng, a neu leng, TOUPA ina sum koih khawm tengteng te, kumpipa sum koih khawm leh a miliante sum koihkhawmte nangawnin Babulon ah a la vek hi.

¹⁹And they burned the house of God, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem, and burned all the palaces thereof with fire, and all the precious vessels thereof were given up to destruction.

¹⁹Huan, Pathian inte a hala, Jerusalem kulh te a chimsaka, huailaia in thupi tengteng a hala, huailaia tuiumbelsuan hoih tengteng a hihse veka.

²⁰And them that had escaped from the sword he carried away to Babylon; and they became servants to him and his sons, until the reign of the kingdom of Persia;

²⁰Namsuan thah bang teng Babulon ah a pia, Persiate a honglal tak un amah leh a tapate sikhain a om uhi:

²¹to fulfil the word of Jehovah by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed its sabbaths. All the days of its desolation it kept sabbath, to fulfil seventy years.

²¹A khawlnite gamin nuamtaka a zat tana Jeremia kama gen TOUPA thu a tangtunna dingin: segawpa a om sungteng lah, kum sawmsagih tangtunna dingin, a khawlnite a tang ngala.

²²And in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of Jehovah by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, Jehovah stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, and he made a proclamation throughout his kingdom, and also in writing, saying,

²²Huchiin Persia kumpipa Kura lal tung kumin Jeremia kama TOUPA thu a tun kim theihna dingin a gam tengtenga than khiak vek ding leh a gelha gelh dingin leng TOUPAN Persia kumpipa Kura lungtang a tok thou a,Persia kumpipa Kurain hichiiin a chi, Khovel gam tengteng TOUPA van Pathianin a honpia a; huan, Juda gama Jerusalem ah a in lamsak dingin thu a honpia ahi. Na lak ua amah mite photphot kiangah TOUPA a Pathian om henla, vahoh tou hen, chiin.

²³Thus says Cyrus king of Persia: All the kingdoms of the earth has Jehovah the God of the heavens given to me, and he has charged me to build him a house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whosoever there is among you of all his people, Jehovah his God be with him, and let him go up.

²³Persia kumpipa Kurain hichiiin a chi, Khovel gam tengteng TOUPA van Pathianin a honpia a; huan, Juda gama Jerusalem ah a in lamsak dingin thu a honpia ahi. Na lak ua amah mite photphot kiangah TOUPA a Pathian om henla, vahoh tou hen, chiin.
