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.
In the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his army against Jerusalem, and they besieged it.
2 Zedekiah kah a kum hlai at a hla li dongkah hlasae hnin ko vaengah khopuei te rhek.
And in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth day of the month, the city was broken up.
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.
And all the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate, even Nergalsharezer, Samgarnebo, Sarsechim, Rabsaris, Nergalsharezer, Rabmag, with all the rest of the princes 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 it came to pass, when Zedekiah the king of Judah saw them, and all the men of war, then they fled, and went out of the city by night, by the way of the king’s garden, by the gate between the two walls: and he went out the way of the plain.
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 Chaldeans’ army pursued them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho: and when they had taken him, they brought him to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he gave judgment upon 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 slew the sons of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes: also the king of Babylon slew all the nobles of Judah.
7 Zedekiah mik te khaw a dael sak tih Babylon la khuen ham rhohum neh a khih.
Moreover he put out Zedekiah’s eyes, and bound him with chains, to carry him to Babylon.
8 Manghai im neh pilnam im te Khalden loh hmai neh a hoeh tih Jerusalem vongtung te a palet uh.
And the Chaldeans burned the king’s house, and the houses of the people, with fire, and broke down the walls of Jerusalem.
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 guard carried away captive into Babylon the remnant of the people that remained in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to him, with the rest of the people that remained.
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 guard left of the poor of the people, who had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time.
11 Jeremiah ham te Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar loh imtawt boeiping Nebuzaradan kut ah a uen tih,
Now Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon gave charge concerning Jeremiah to Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, 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 look well to him, and do him no harm; but do to him even as he shall say to thee.
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 guard sent, and Nebushasban, Rabsaris, and Nergalsharezer, Rabmag, and all the king of Babylon’s princes;
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.
Even they sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the prison, and committed him to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, that he should carry him home: so he dwelt 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 court of the prison, 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 speak to Ebedmelech the Cushite, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring my words upon this city for evil, and not for good; and they shall be accomplished in that day before thee.
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 deliver thee in that day, saith the LORD: and thou shalt not be given into the hand of the men of whom thou art afraid.
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 surely deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be for a prize to thee: because thou hast put thy trust in me, saith the LORD.
