2 Manghai 25
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.
And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, the tenth day of the month, that Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came, he and all his army against Jerusalem: and they surrounded it: and raised works round about it.
2 Te dongah khopuei tah Zedekiah manghai kah kum hlai khat hil vongup khuiah om.
And the city was shut up and besieged till the eleventh year of king Sedecias,
3 A hla ko phoeiah tah khopuei ah khokha tlung coeng. Te dongah khohmuen pilnam ham buh om voel pawh.
The ninth day of the month: and a famine prevailed in the city, and 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.
And a breach was made into the city: and all the men of war fled in the night between the two walls by the king’s garden, (now the Chaldees besieged the city round about, ) and Sedecias fled by the way that leadeth to the plains of the wilderness.
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.
And the army of the Chaldees pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all the warriors that were with him were scattered, and left him:
6 Manghai te a tuuk uh tih Riblah kah Babylon manghai taengla a khuen uh phoeiah anih sokah laitloeknah te a thui uh.
So they took the king, and brought him to the king of Babylon to Reblatha, and he gave judgment upon 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.
And he slew the sons of Sedecias before his face, and he put out his eyes, and bound him with chains, and brought 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.
In the fifth month, the seventh day of the month, that is, the nineteenth year of the king of Babylon, came Nabuzardan commander of the army, a servant of the king of Babylon, into 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.
And he burnt the house of the Lord, and the king’s house, and the houses of Jerusalem, and every house he burnt with fire.
10 Jerusalem kaepvai kah vongtung te khaw imtawt boei kah Khalden caem pum loh a palet uh.
And all the army of the Chaldees, which was with the commander of the troops, broke down the walls of Jerusalem round about.
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.
And Nabuzardan the commander of the army, carried away the rest of the people that remained in the city, and the fugitives that had gone over to the king of Babylon, and the remnant of the common people.
12 Tedae khohmuen kah khodaeng te tah imtawt boei loh dumpho neh lotawn la a paih.
But of the poor of the land he left some dressers of vines and husbandmen.
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.
And the pillars of brass that were in the temple of the Lord, and the bases, and the sea of brass which was in the house of the Lord, the Chaldees broke in pieces, and carried all the brass of them 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 also the pots of brass, and the mazers, and the forks, and the cups, and the mortars, and all the vessels of brass with which they ministered.
15 Baelphaih neh baelcak te khaw sui, sui neh ngun, ngun te tah imtawt boei loh a khuen.
Moreover also the censers, and the bowls, such as were of gold in gold, and such as were of silver in silver, the general of the army took away.
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.
That is, two pillars, one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made in the temple of the Lord: the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
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.
One pillar was eighteen cubits high, and the chapiter of brass which was upon it was three cubits high: and the network, and the pomegranates that were upon the chapiter of the pillar, were all of brass: and the second pillar had the like adorning.
18 Imtawt boei loh khosoih boeilu Seraiah neh khosoih hnukthoi Zephaniah khaw, cingkhaa aka hung pathum te khaw a khuen.
And the general of the army took Seraias the chief priest, and Sophonias the second priest, and three doorkeepers.
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 one eunuch, who was captain over the men of war: and five men of them that had stood before the king, whom he found in the city, and Sopher the captain of the army who exercised the young soldiers of the people of the land: and threescore men of the common people, who were found in the city.
20 Imtawt boei Nebuzaradan loh amih te a loh tih Riblah kah Babylon manghai taengla a thak.
These Nabuzardan the general of the army took away, and carried them to the king of Babylon to Reblatha.
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.
And the king of Babylon smote them, and slew them at Reblatha in the land of Emath: so Juda was carried away out of their 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.
But over the people that remained in the land of Juda, which Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon had left, he gave the government to Godolias the son of Ahicam the son of Saphan.
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.
And when all the captains of the soldiers had heard this, they and the men that were with them, to wit, that the king of Babylon had made Godolias governor, they came to Godolias to Maspha, Ismael the son of Nathanias, and Johanan the son of Caree, and Saraia the son of Thanehumeth the Netophathite, and Jezonias the son of Maachathi, 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.
And Godolias swore to them and to their men, saying: Be not afraid to serve the Chaldees: stay in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall 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 it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ismael the son of Nathanias, the son of Elisama of the seed royal came, and ten men with him: and smote Godolias so that he died: and also the Jews and the Chaldees that were with him in Maspha.
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.
And all the people both little and great, and the captains of the soldiers, rising up went to Egypt, fearing the Chaldees.
27 Judah manghai Jehoiakhin hlangsol kah sawmthum kum rhih neh a hla hlai nit hlasae hnin kul hnin rhih vaengkah Babylon manghai Evilmerodakh a manghai kum dongah Judah manghai Jehoiakhin kah a lu te thong im lamloh a loeih sak.
And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Joachin king of Juda, in the twelfth month the seven and twentieth day of the month: Evilmerodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, lifted up the head of Joachin king of Juda 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 he set his throne above the throne of the kings that 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 he changed his garments which he had in prison, and he ate bread always before him, 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 he appointed him a continual allowance, which was also given him by the king day by day, all the days of his life.
