Jeremiah 39
1 Judah manghai Zedekiah kah a kum ko hla rha dongah Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar tah amah kah caem boeih neh Jerusalem la ha pawk uh tih a dum.
And it came about, that when Jerusalem was taken, (in the ninth year of Zedekiah, king of Judah, in the tenth month, Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, with all his army, came against Jerusalem, shutting it in on every side;
2 Zedekiah kah a kum hlai at a hla li dongkah hlasae hnin ko vaengah khopuei te rhek.
In the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, on the ninth day of the month, the town was broken into: )
3 Te vaengah Babylon manghai kah mangpa boeih ha pawk tih laklung vongka ah Nergalsharezer, Samgarnebo, Rabsaris, Sarsekhim, Nergalsharezer, Rabmag neh Babylon manghai kah mangpa kah a meet rhoek khaw boeih ngol uh.
All the captains of the king of Babylon came in and took their places in the middle doorway of the town, Nergal-shar-ezer, ruler of Sin-magir, the Rabmag, and Nebushazban, the Rab-saris, and all the captains of the king of Babylon.
4 Judah manghai Zedekiah neh caemtloek hlang boeih loh amih a hmuh vaengah tah yong uh. Khoyin ah khopuei lamloh manghai dum long kah vongka neh vongtung laklo longah coe uh tih kolken longpuei la pawk.
And when Zedekiah, king of Judah, and all the men of war saw it, they went in flight from the town by night, by the way of the king's garden, through the doorway between the two walls: and they went out by the Arabah.
5 Tedae Khalden caem loh amih hnukah a hloem tih Zedekiah te Jerikho kolken ah tah a kae uh. Anih te a tuuk uh tih Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar taengla a thak uh. Khamath kho khuikah Riblah ah anih soah laitloeknah a thui.
But the Chaldaean army went after them and overtook Zedekiah in the lowlands of Jericho: and they made him a prisoner and took him up to Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, to Riblah in the land of Hamath, to be judged by him.
6 Babylon manghai loh Zedekiah ca rhoek te Riblah kah amah mikhmuh ah a ngawn. Judah hlangcoelh boeih te khaw Babylon manghai loh a ngawn.
Then the king of Babylon put the sons of Zedekiah to death before his eyes in Riblah: and the king of Babylon put to death all the great men of Judah.
7 Zedekiah mik te khaw a dael sak tih Babylon la khuen ham rhohum neh a khih.
And more than this, he put out Zedekiah's eyes, and had him put in chains to take him away to Babylon.
8 Manghai im neh pilnam im te Khalden loh hmai neh a hoeh tih Jerusalem vongtung te a palet uh.
And the Chaldaeans put the king's house on fire, as well as the houses of the people, and had the walls of Jerusalem broken down.
9 Khopuei ah aka sueng pilnam hlangrhuel khaw, amah taengla aka cungku, aka cungku neh pilnam hlangrhuel aka sueng te khaw Babylon imtawt boeiping Nebuzaradan loh a poelyoe.
Then Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, took away to Babylon as prisoners, all the rest of the workmen who were still in the town, as well as those who had given themselves up to him, and all the rest of the people.
10 Tedae pilnam lamkah a taengah pakhat khaw aka khueh pawh tattloel rhoek te tah imtawt boeiping Nebuzaradan loh Judah khohmuen ah a hlun tih amih te tekah khohnin ah misurdum neh lohmuen a paek.
But Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, let the poorest of the people, who had nothing whatever, go on living in the land of Judah, and gave them vine-gardens and fields at the same time.
11 Jeremiah ham te Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar loh imtawt boeiping Nebuzaradan kut ah a uen tih,
Now Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, gave orders about Jeremiah to Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, saying,
12 “Anih he khuen lamtah na mik te anih soah khueh. Anih taengah boethae pakhat khaw saii boeh. Na taengah a thui bangla anih ham saii pah van,” a ti nah.
Take him and keep an eye on him and see that no evil comes to him; but do with him whatever he says to you.
13 Te phoeiah imtawt boeiping Nebuzaradan, Rabsaris Nebushasban, Rabmag Nergalsharezer neh Babylon manghai kah boeiping te boeih a tueih.
So Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, sent Nebushazban, the Rab-saris, and Nergal-shar-ezer, the Rabmag, and all the chief captains of the king of Babylon,
14 A tueih bangla Jeremiah te thongim vongup lamloh a loh uh tih im la thak ham Shaphan koca Ahikam capa Gedaliah taengah a paek uh tih pilnam lakli ah kho a sak.
And they sent and took Jeremiah out of the place of the watchmen, and gave him into the care of Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, to take him to his house: so he was living among the people.
15 Thongim vongup ah khaih la a om vaengah BOEIPA ol he Jeremiah taengla ha pawk tih,
Now the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah while he was shut up in the place of the armed watchmen, saying,
16 “Cet lamtah Kushi Ebedmelek te thui pah. 'Israel Pathen caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. He khopuei he ka ol ka thoeng rhoe ka thoeng sak coeng ne. Te khohnin ah yoethaenah he na mikhmuh ah om vetih hnothen om mahpawh.
Go and say to Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: See, my words will come true for this town, for evil and not for good: they will come about before your eyes on that day.
17 Tedae te khohnin ah nang kan huul ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Na rhih hlang rhoek kut dongah n'tloeng mahpawh.
But I will keep you safe on that day, says the Lord: you will not be given into the hands of the men you are fearing.
18 Nang te kan loeih rhoe kan loeih sak ni. cunghang dongah khaw na cungku pawt vetih kai dongah na pangtung coeng dongah na hinglu te na taengah kutbuem bangla la om ni he tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni, 'ti nah,” a ti.
For I will certainly let you go free, and you will not be put to the sword, but your life will be given to you out of the hands of your attackers: because you have put your faith in me, says the Lord.
