¹In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim was his servant three years; then he turned and rebelled against him.

¹A Lal laiin Babulon kumpipa Nebukadnezzar a honglian a, Jehoiakim bel a sikha in kum thum a oma; huainungin a lehngat sana, a tungah a helta hi.

²And Jehovah sent against him the bands of the Chaldeans, and the bands of the Syrians, and the bands of the Moabites, and the bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of Jehovah, which he spoke through his servants the prophets.

²Huan, TOUPAN Kaldai pawlte, Suria pawl te, Moab pawl te, Amoa suan pawlte amah sual dingin a sawl khiaa, a sikha jawlneite zanga a gen TOUPA thu bangin Juda gam hihse sak dingin a sawl hi.

³Verily, at the commandment of Jehovah it came to pass against Judah, that they should be removed out of his sight, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he had done;

³Manasi khelhna, a thil hih tengteng jiaka, a muhphak louhna a amau te suan mang dingin, Juda tungah hiai TOUPA thupiak a hongtungpet mah a;

⁴and also [because of] the innocent blood that he had shed; for he had filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and Jehovah would not pardon.

⁴Mihoih sisan a suah jiakin leng; mihoih sisana Jerusalem a hihdim jiak in leng: TOUPAN lah amah a ngaidam nuam kei a.

⁵And the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

⁵Huchiin Jehoiakim tanchin dang leh a thil hih tengteng Juda kumpipate lal lai tanchin gelh na bu-ah a tuang ahi kei maw?

⁶And Jehoiakim slept with his fathers, and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead.

⁶Huchiin Jehoiakim bel a pi leh pute kiangah a ihmu-a; huan, a tapa Jehoiakin a sikin a lalta hi.

⁷And the king of Egypt came not again any more out of his land, for the king of Babylon had taken all that belonged to the king of Egypt, from the torrent of Egypt to the river Euphrates.

⁷Huan, Aigupta kumpipa a gam akipan a hongkuan khe nawnta kei hi: Babulon kumpipan Aigupta gam luita akipan Euphrates lui phaa kumpipa gam huap tengteng a lata ngala.

⁸Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Nehushta, daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.

⁸Jehoiakin bel a lal pattungin kum sawm leh kum giata upa ahi a; Jerusalem ah kha thum a lal: a nu min Methusta, Jerusalem khuaa Elnathan tanu ahi.

⁹And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that his father had done.

⁹Huan, a pa hih dan tengteng hihin, TOUPA mitmuhin thil hoih lou mahmah a hih sek a.

¹⁰At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.

¹⁰Huchihlaiin Babulon kumpipa Nebukadnezzar mite Jerusalem ah a hoh tou ua, khua a vaum uh.

¹¹And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came against the city, while his servants were besieging it.

¹¹Huan, huchia a miten a vaum lai un Babulon kumpipa Nebukadnezzer bel khuaah a vahoh tou a;

¹²And Jehoiachin king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his princes, and his chamberlains; and the king of Babylon took him in the eighth year of his reign.

¹²Huchiin Juda kumpipa Jehoiakin a nute, a mite, a miliante, a heutute toh Babulon kumpipa kiangah a va pawt khia ua: huan, a lal kum giat kumin Babulon kumpipan a man.

¹³And he brought out thence all the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the king's house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold that Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of Jehovah, as Jehovah had said.

¹³Huan, TOUPA gen bangin ina gou tengteng leh kumpipa ina gou tengteng a lakhina, TOUPA biakina Israelte kumpipa Solomonin dangkaeng tuiumbelsuan a bawl tengteng a sat gawp vek hi.

¹⁴And he carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valour, ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and smiths: none remained but the poorest sort of the people of the land.

¹⁴Huan, Jerusalema mi tengteng, mi lian tengteng te, mi hat hangsan hoih tengteng, singkhat hial, sal khutsiam leh siksekmi tengteng a pi veka; huai gama mi a gentheite chih louh kuamah a omta kei uh,

¹⁵And he carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, and the king's mother, and the king's wives, and his chamberlains, and the mighty of the land, he led into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon;

¹⁵Huan, Jehoiakin bel babulon ah a pi a; huan kumpipa nu te, kumpinu te, a heutute, huai gama mi hatte Jerusalem akipanin Babulon ah salin a pi hi.

¹⁶and all the men of valour, seven thousand, and the craftsmen and smiths a thousand, all strong men apt for war, and the king of Babylon brought them captive to Babylon.

¹⁶Huan, Babulon kumpipan pasal hoih tengteng sangsagih tak leh, khutsiam leh siksekmi sangkhat, mi hat hoih teng galkap thei mi ngen Babulon ah salin a pi vek hi.

¹⁷And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah his uncle king in his stead, and changed his name to Zedekiah.

¹⁷Huan, a pa unau Mattania bel Babulon kumpipan a sikin a lalsaka, a min Zedekia chiin a khen sak hi.

¹⁸Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Hamutal, daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

¹⁸Zedekia bel a lal pattungin kum sawm nih leh kumkhata upa ahi a; Jerusalem ah kum sawm leh kum khat a lala; a nu min Hamutal, Libna khuaa Jeremia tanu ahi.

¹⁹And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.

¹⁹Huan, Jehoiakim hih dan tengteng bangin a hiha, TOUPA mitmuhin thil hoih lou mahmah a hih nak hi.TOUPA hehna jiakin a muh phak louha a paih mang ma tanin Jerusalem leh Juda tungah thil a hongtung jel hi; huan, Zedekia bel Babulon kumpipa tungah a heltaa.

²⁰For, because the anger of Jehovah was against Jerusalem and against Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence, Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

²⁰TOUPA hehna jiakin a muh phak louha a paih mang ma tanin Jerusalem leh Juda tungah thil a hongtung jel hi; huan, Zedekia bel Babulon kumpipa tungah a heltaa.
