Jeremiah 52
1 Zedekiah a manghai vaengah kum kul kum khat lo ca tih Jerusalem ah kum hlai khat tah manghai van. A manu ming tah Hamutal tih, Hamutal tah Libnah lamkah Jeremiah canu ni.
Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign; he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Hamutal; she was the daughter of Jeremiah from Libnah.
2 Jehoiakim loh boethae cungkuem a saii bangla Zedekiah loh BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a saii.
He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh; he did everything that Jehoiakim had done.
3 Te dongah a mikhmuh lamloh amih a voeih due Jerusalem neh Judah taengah BOEIPA kah thintoek om coeng. Zedekiah loh Babylon manghai te a tloelh.
Through Yahweh's anger, all these events happened in Jerusalem and Judah, until he drove them from before himself. Then Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
4 Te dongah anih a manghai te kum ko hla rha a pha tih hlasae a hnin rha vaengah tah Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar amah neh a caem boeih te Jerusalem la ha pawk. A taengah rhaeh uh tih a kaepvai ah buep a saii uh.
It happened that in the ninth year of the reign of King Zedekiah, in the tenth month, and on the tenth day of the month, Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came with all his army against Jerusalem. They camped opposite it, and they built a siege wall around it.
5 Manghai Zedekiah kah a kum hlai khat duela khopuei te vongup khuila pawk.
So the city was besieged until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah's reign.
6 A hla li kah hlasae hnin ko dongah tah khopuei khuiah khokha tlung tih khohmuen kah pilnam ham buh om pawh.
By the ninth day of the fourth month the famine was so severe in the city that there was no food for the people of the land.
7 Te dongah khopuei te a va uh tih caemtloek hlang rhoek khaw boeih yong uh. Khoyin ah tah khopuei lamloh manghai dum kaep kah vongtung laklo kah vongka longpuei longah coe uh. Tedae khopuei kaep kah Khalden taeng lamloh kolken longpuei la cet uh.
Then the city was broken into, and all the fighting men fled and went out of the city at night by the way of the gate that was between the two walls, by the king's garden, although the Chaldeans were all around the city. So they went in the direction of the Arabah.
8 Te dongah Khalden caem loh manghai hnukah a hloem uh tih Zedekiah te Jerikho kolken ah a kae uh. Te dongah a caem khaw anih taeng lamloh boeih taekyaak uh.
But the army of Chaldeans pursued the king and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of the Jordan River valley near Jericho. All his army was scattered away from him.
9 Tedae manghai te a tuuk uh tih Khamath khohmuen Riblah kah Babylon manghai taengla a khuen uh tih anih sokah laitloeknah a thui pah.
They captured the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he passed sentence on him.
10 Babylon manghai loh Zedekiah ca rhoek te a mikhmuh ah a ngawn pah tih Judah mangpa boeih te khaw Riblah ah a ngawn.
The king of Babylon slaughtered Zedekiah's sons before his own eyes, and at Riblah he also slaughtered all the leaders of Judah.
11 Te phoeiah Zedekiah mik te a dael sak tih rhohum neh a khih. Anih te Babylon kah Babylon manghai taengla a khuen tih a dueknah khohnin duela a im kah ngoldoelhnah im ah a khueh.
Then he put out Zedekiah's eyes, bound him in bronze chains, and brought him to Babylon. The king of Babylon put him in prison until the day of his death.
12 Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar manghai kah a kum hlai ko kum, hla nga dongkah hlasae hnin rha dongah tah Babylon manghai mikhmuh ah aka pai imtawt boeiping Nebuzaradan te Jerusalem la ha pawk.
Now in the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of the reign of King Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan came to Jerusalem. He was the commander of the king's bodyguards and a servant of the king of Babylon.
13 BOEIPA im te a hoeh tih manghai im neh Jerusalem kah im boeih, im tanglue boeih khaw hmai neh a hoeh pah.
He burned the house of Yahweh, the king's palace, and all the houses of Jerusalem; also every important building in the city he burned.
14 Jerusalem kaepvai kah vongtung boeih te imtawt boeiping hmuikah Khalden caem pum loh a palet uh.
As for the walls around Jerusalem, all the army of the Babylonians who were with the commander of the bodyguards destroyed them.
15 Te vaengah pilnam khodaeng neh khopuei ah aka sueng pilnam hlangrhuel khaw, Babylon manghai taengah cungku la aka cungku khaw, bibi thai hlangrhuel khaw imtawt boeiping khaw Nebuzaradan loh a poelyoe.
As for the poorest people, the rest of the people who were left in the city, those who had deserted to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the craftsmen— Nebuzaradan, the commander of the bodyguards, took some of them away into exile.
16 Tedae khohmuen kah khodaeng rhoek tah imtawt boeiping Nebuzaradan loh dumpho neh lotawn la a paih.
But Nebuzaradan, the commander of the bodyguards, left some of the poorest of the land to work the vineyards and fields.
17 Khalden loh BOEIPA im kah rhohum tung neh tungkho khaw, BOEIPA im kah rhohum tuitung khaw, amih kah rhohum boeih te a phaek uh tih Babylon la a khuen.
As for the bronze pillars that belonged to the house of Yahweh, and the stands, and the large bronze basin called “The Sea” that were in the house of Yahweh, the Chaldeans broke them into pieces and carried all the bronze back to Babylon.
18 Am neh hmaisoh khaw, paitaeh neh baelcak khaw, yakbu neh rhohum hnopai boeih, amih taengkah aka thotat rhoek te khaw a khuen uh.
The pots, shovels, lamp trimmers, bowls, and all the utensils of bronze with which the priests had served in the temple—the Chaldeans took them all away.
19 Baeldung neh baelphaih khaw, baelcak neh am khaw, hmaitung khaw, yakbu neh tuisi-am khaw, sui dongkah sui khaw, ngun khuikah ngun te khaw imtawt boeiping loh a khuen.
The basins and the incense burners, the bowls, pots, lampstands, pans, and basins that were made of gold, and those made of silver—the commander of the king's guard took them away as well.
20 Tung panit tui-im pakhat hmuikah tungkho, rhohum vaito hlai nit khaw a khuen. Te te manghai Solomon loh BOEIPA im ham a saii tih te rhohum hnopai boeih kah a khiing te sava pawh.
The two pillars, the large bronze basin known as “The Sea,” and the twelve bronze bulls that were under the stands, things that Solomon had made for the house of Yahweh, contained more bronze than could be weighed.
21 Tung a sang mah tung pakhat dongah a sang dong hlai rhet om coeng tih rhuihet neh dong hlai nit la a som coeng. A thah kutdawn pali thah tih khui.
The pillars were eighteen cubits high each, and a line around each one measured twelve cubits. Each was four fingers thick and hollow.
22 A sokah tungthi khaw rhohum tih tungthi pakhat kah a sang te dong nga om. Tungthi sokah sahamlong neh tale khaw a kaepvai khaw rhohum boeih ni. A pabae tung khaw te phek la tale neh om.
A capital of bronze was on top of it. The capital was five cubits high, with latticework and pomegranates all around. It was all made of bronze. The other pillar and its pomegranates were the same as the first.
23 Te dongah tale thaih te sawmko phoeiah parhuk om tih a kaepvai kah Sahamlong dongah khaw a pum la tale thaih yakhat om.
So there were ninety-six pomegranates on the capital's sides, and one hundred pomegranates above the surrounding latticework.
24 Imtawt boeiping loh khosoih boeilu Seraiah khaw, a hnukthoi khosoih Zephaniah neh cingkhaa aka tawt pathum te khaw a khuen.
The commander of the bodyguards took prisoner Seraiah, the high priest, together with Zephaniah, the second priest, and the three gatekeepers.
25 Caemtloek hlang soah hlangtawt la aka om imkhoem pakhat neh manghai maelhmai aka so hlang parhih a khuen. Te te khopuei khuiah a hmuh uh tih khohmuen pilnam aka hueh caempuei mangpa kah cadaek neh khopuei khui kah a hmuh khohmuen pilnam hlang sawmrhuk te khopuei lamloh a khuen.
From the city he took prisoner an officer who was in charge of soldiers, and seven men of those who advised the king, who were still in the city. He also took prisoner the king's army officer responsible for drafting men into the army, along with sixty important men from the land who were in the city.
26 Amih te imtawt boeiping Nebuzaradan loh a khuen tih Riblah kah Babylon manghai taengla a thak.
Then Nebuzaradan, the commander of the bodyguards, took them and brought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.
27 Amih te Babylon manghai loh a ngawn tih Khamath khohmuen kah Riblah ah amih te a duek sak. Judah tah amah khohmuen dong lamloh a poelyoe tangloeng.
The king of Babylon put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. In this way, Judah went out of its land into exile.
28 A kum rhih dongah tah Nebukhanezar loh pilnam he Judah hlang thawng thum phoeiah pakul pathum a poelyoe coeng.
These were the people who Nebuchadnezzar exiled: In the seventh year, 3,023 Judeans.
29 Nebukhanezar kah a kum hlai rhet dongah Jerusalem lamkah hinglu ya rhet sawmthum panit a khuen.
In the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar he took 832 people from Jerusalem.
30 Nebukhanezar kah kum kul kum thum dongah imtawt boeiping Nebuzaradan loh Judah hinglu ya rhih sawmli panga neh hinglu boeih thawng li ya rhuk te a poelyoe.
In the twenty-third year of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuzaradan, the commander of the king's bodyguards, exiled 745 Judean people. All the exiled people totaled 4,600.
31 Judah manghai Jehoiakhin hlangsol kah kum sawmthum kum rhih hla hlai nit hlasae hnin kul hnin nga lo coeng. Babylon manghai Evilmerodakh kah a ram a pai kum ah tah Judah manghai Jehoiakhin lu te thongim kah im lamloh a hlah.
It happened later in the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin, king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-fifth day of the month, that Awel-Marduk, king of Babylon released Jehoiachin king of Judah from prison. This happened in the year that Awel-Marduk began to reign.
32 A taengah a then a thui pah tih manghai rhoek kah ngolkhoel soah khaw, Babylon ah amah taengkah manghai rhoek taengah khaw Jehoiakhin ham ngolkhoel a khueh pah.
He spoke kindly to him and gave him a seat more honorable than that of the other kings who were with him in Babylon.
33 Te dongah a thongim himbai te a thovael tih manghai hmai kah buh te a hing tue khuiah phat a caak.
Awel-Marduk removed Jehoiachin's prison clothes, and Jehoiachin ate regularly at the king's table for the rest of his life,
34 A buhkak tah buhkak mai akhaw anih te rhawp a paek. A hing tue khui neh a dueknah khohnin duela a hnin, hnin ah Babylon manghai taeng lamkah olka te khaw a yaak.
and a regular food allowance was given to him every day for the rest of his life until his death.
