1 Zedekiah a manghai te kum ko dongla a pha vaengkah hla rha, hla hnin rha dongah ah tah Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar neh a thadueng pum tah Jerusalem la pawk. Te dongah a rhaeh thil tih a kaepvai ah buep a to thil uh.
In the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it; and they built forts against it around it.
2 Te dongah khopuei tah Zedekiah manghai kah kum hlai khat hil vongup khuiah om.
So the city was besieged until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.
3 A hla ko phoeiah tah khopuei ah khokha tlung coeng. Te dongah khohmuen pilnam ham buh om voel pawh.
On the ninth day of the fourth month, the famine was severe in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.
4 Tedae khopuei te a pook vaengah tah caemtloek hlang boeih khaw khoyin ah manghai dum kaep, vongtung laklo kah vongka longpuei longah coeuh. Te vaengah khopuei kaepvai kah Khalden rhoek khaw kolken longpuei la cet uh.
Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king’s garden (now the Chaldeans were against the city around it); and the king went by the way of the Arabah.
5 Tedae Khalden caem loh manghai hnuk te a hloem tih Jerikho kolken ah a kae uh. Te dongah a caem boeih khaw anih taeng lamloh taekyak uh.
But the Chaldean army pursued the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.
6 Manghai te a tuuk uh tih Riblah kah Babylon manghai taengla a khuen uh phoeiah anih sokah laitloeknah te a thui uh.
Then they captured the king and carried him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they passed judgement on him.
7 Zedekiah koca rhoek te a mikhmuh ah a ngawn uh. Zedekiah mik te khaw a dael sak tih rhohum neh a khih phoeiah Babylon la a khuen.
They killed Zedekiah’s sons before his eyes, then put out Zedekiah’s eyes, bound him in fetters, and carried him to Babylon.
8 Babylon manghai, manghai Nebukhanezar kah kum hlai ko kum kah a hla nga, hlasae hnin rhih vaengah Babylon manghai kah sal imtawt boei Nebuzaradan te Jerusalem la pawk.
Now in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem.
9 Te vaengah BOEIPA im neh manghai im khaw, Jerusalem kah im boeih khaw a hoeh pah tih im len boeih khaw hmai neh a hoeh.
He burnt the LORD’s house, the king’s house, and all the houses of Jerusalem. He burnt every great house with fire.
10 Jerusalem kaepvai kah vongtung te khaw imtawt boei kah Khalden caem pum loh a palet uh.
All the army of the Chaldeans, who were with the captain of the guard, broke down the walls around Jerusalem.
11 Khopuei ah aka sueng pilnam kah a coih rhoek khaw, Babylon manghai taengla aka kun la aka kun rhoek khaw, hlangping kah a coihpaih khaw imtawt boei Nebuzaradan loh a poelyoe.
Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive the rest of the people who were left in the city and those who had deserted to the king of Babylon—all the rest of the multitude.
12 Tedae khohmuen kah khodaeng te tah imtawt boei loh dumpho neh lotawn la a paih.
But the captain of the guard left some of the poorest of the land to work the vineyards and fields.
13 BOEIPA im kah rhohum tung te khaw, tungkho te khaw, BOEIPA im kah rhohum tuili te khaw Khalden loh a phaek tih a rhohum rhoek te Babylon la a phueih uh.
The Chaldeans broke up the pillars of bronze that were in the LORD’s house and the bases and the bronze sea that were in the LORD’s house, and carried the bronze pieces to Babylon.
14 Am neh hmaisoh te khaw, paitaeh neh yakbu te khaw, rhohum hnopai boeih neh amih taengah aka thotat rhoek khaw a loh uh.
They took away the pots, the shovels, the snuffers, the spoons, and all the vessels of bronze with which they ministered.
15 Baelphaih neh baelcak te khaw sui, sui neh ngun, ngun te tah imtawt boei loh a khuen.
The captain of the guard took away the fire pans, the basins, that which was of gold, for gold, and that which was of silver, for silver.
16 Solomon loh BOEIPA im ham a saii tung panit, tuili pakhat, tungkho rhoek neh a hnopai cungkuem dongkah rhohum te a khiing thui lek pawh.
The two pillars, the one sea, and the bases, which Solomon had made for the LORD’s house, the bronze of all these vessels was not weighed.
17 Tung pakhat kah a sang he dong hlai rhet lo tih a sokah tungthi te rhohum la om. Tungthi kah a sang he a dong la dong thum lo. Tungthi soah sahamlong neh talae thaih om tih a kaep boeih te rhohum ni. Te phek la tung pabae dongah khaw sahamlong neh om.
The height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, and a capital of bronze was on it. The height of the capital was three cubits, with network and pomegranates on the capital around it, all of bronze; and the second pillar with its network was like these.
18 Imtawt boei loh khosoih boeilu Seraiah neh khosoih hnukthoi Zephaniah khaw, cingkhaa aka hung pathum te khaw a khuen.
The captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold;
19 Te vaengah khopuei lamkah caemtloek hlang so neh manghai maelhmai aka hmu tih khopuei ah aka phoe hlang panga soah hlangtawt la aka om imkhoem pakhat loh khohmuen pilnam aka muk caempuei mangpa kah cadaek neh khopuei ah aka phoe khohmuen pilnam hlang sawmrhuk te a khuen.
and out of the city he took an officer who was set over the men of war; and five men of those who saw the king’s face, who were found in the city; and the scribe, the captain of the army, who mustered the people of the land, and sixty men of the people of the land who were found in the city.
20 Imtawt boei Nebuzaradan loh amih te a loh tih Riblah kah Babylon manghai taengla a thak.
Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.
21 Amih te Babylon manghai loh a ngawn dongah Khamath khohmuen kah Riblah ah a duek sak. Te tlam ni Judah te amah khohmuen dong lamloh a poelyoe.
The king of Babylon attacked them and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away captive out of his land.
22 Pilnam khaw Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar loh a caknoi rhoek te tah Judah khohmuen ah sueng uh van tih amih ham te Shaphan koca Ahikam capa Gedaliah te a khueh pah.
As for the people who were left in the land of Judah whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, even over them he made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, governor.
23 Babylon manghai loh Gedaliah a khueh te amih kah tatthai mangpa boeih rhoek neh hlang rhoek loh a yaak uh dongah Mizpah kah Gedaliah te a paan uh. Te vaengah Nethaniah capa Ishmael, Kareah capa Johanan, Netophah Tanhumeth capa Seraiah, Maakathi capa Jaazaniah neh amih kah hlang rhoek khaw thumuh.
Now when all the captains of the forces, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, Johanan the son of Kareah, Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of the Maacathite, they and their men.
24 Gedaliah loh amih ham neh amih hlang rhoek ham khaw a toemngam tih amih te, “Khalden sal rhoek te rhih uh boeh, khohmuen ah khosa uh lamtah Babylon manghai taengah thotat uh, nangmih taengah voelphoeng bitni,” a ti nah.
Gedaliah swore to them and to their men, and said to them, “Don’t be afraid because of the servants of the Chaldeans. Dwell in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and it will be well with you.”
25 Tedae hla rhih dongla a pha vaengah tah mangpa tiingan lamkah Elishama koca Nethaniah capa Ishmael neh a taengkah hlang parha te ha pawk tih Gedaliah te a ngawn uh. Te dongah Mizpah kah anih taengah aka om Judah rhoek neh Khalden rhoek khaw duek.
But in the seventh month, Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the royal offspring came, and ten men with him, and struck Gedaliah so that he died, with the Jews and the Chaldeans that were with him at Mizpah.
26 Te dongah pilnam pum te tanoe lamloh kangham hil thoo uh tih tatthai mangpa rhoek khaw Khalden te a rhih uh dongah Egypt la pawk uh.
All the people, both small and great, and the captains of the forces arose and came to Egypt; for they were afraid of the Chaldeans.

In the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, Evilmerodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, released Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison,
28 Anih te a then a thui pah tih a ngolkhoel te khaw amah taengkah Babylon manghai rhoek kah ngolkhoel lakah a sola a paek.
and he spoke kindly to him and set his throne above the throne of the kings who were with him in Babylon,
29 Anih kah thong himbai te a tho pah tih a hing tue khuiah tah amah mikhmuh ah buh phat a caak sak.
and changed his prison garments. Jehoiachin ate bread before him continually all the days of his life;
30 Anih ham te buhkak mai akhaw a hing tue khuitah a hnin bal, hnin bal, a ol bangla manghai taeng lamkah buhkak te ni anih taengla phat a paek.
and for his allowance, there was a continual allowance given him from the king, every day a portion, all the days of his life.
