¹In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became 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.

²Yahweh sent against him bands of the Chaldeans, and bands of the Syrians, and bands of the Moabites, and bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of Yahweh, which he spoke by 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.

³Surely at the commandment of Yahweh came this on Judah, to remove them out of his sight, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did,

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 for the innocent blood that he shed; for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood: and Yahweh 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.

⁵Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, aren’t they 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?

⁶So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers; and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place.

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

⁷The king of Egypt didn’t come again out of his land any more; for the king of Babylon had taken, from the brook of Egypt to the river Euphrates, all that pertained to the king of Egypt.

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 in Jerusalem three months: and his mother’s name was Nehushta the 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.

⁹He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, 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 to Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.

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

¹¹Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to 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 the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his princes, and his officers: 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.

¹³He carried out there all the treasures of the house of Yahweh, and the treasures of the king’s house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold, which Solomon king of Israel had made in Yahweh’s temple, as Yahweh 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.

¹⁴He carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valor, even ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and the smiths; none remained, except 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,

¹⁵He carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon; and the king’s mother, and the king’s wives, and his officers, and the chief men of the land, carried he 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.

¹⁶All the men of might, even seven thousand, and the craftsmen and the smiths one thousand, all of them strong and apt for war, even them the king of Babylon brought 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.

¹⁷The king of Babylon made Mattaniah, Jehoiachin’s father’s brother, king is his place, 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 the 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.

¹⁹He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, 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 through the anger of Yahweh, it happened in Jerusalem and 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.
