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 became king; he was king for eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

2 Jehoiakim loh boethae cungkuem a saii bangla Zedekiah loh BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a saii.

And he did evil in the eyes of the Lord, as 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.

And because of the wrath of the Lord this came about in Jerusalem and Judah, till he had sent them away from before him: and Zedekiah took up arms 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.

And in the ninth year of his rule, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, came against Jerusalem with all his army and took up his position before it, building earthworks all round it.

5 Manghai Zedekiah kah a kum hlai khat duela khopuei te vongup khuila pawk.

So the town was shut in by their forces till the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.

6 A hla li kah hlasae hnin ko dongah tah khopuei khuiah khokha tlung tih khohmuen kah pilnam ham buh om pawh.

In the fourth month, on the ninth day of the month, the store of food in the town was almost gone, so 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 an opening was made in the wall of the town, and all the men of war went in flight out of the town by night through the doorway between the two walls which was by the king's garden; (now the Chaldaeans were stationed round the town: ) and they went by the way 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.

And the Chaldaean army went after King Zedekiah and overtook him on the other side of Jericho, and all his army went in flight from him in every direction.

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.

Then they made the king a prisoner and took him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath to be judged.

10 Babylon manghai loh Zedekiah ca rhoek te a mikhmuh ah a ngawn pah tih Judah mangpa boeih te khaw Riblah ah a ngawn.

And the king of Babylon put the sons of Zedekiah to death before his eyes: and he put to death all the rulers of Judah in Riblah.

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.

And he put out Zedekiah's eyes; and the king of Babylon, chaining him in iron bands, took him to Babylon, and put him in prison till 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, in the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, a servant of the king of Babylon, came into Jerusalem.

13 BOEIPA im te a hoeh tih manghai im neh Jerusalem kah im boeih, im tanglue boeih khaw hmai neh a hoeh pah.

And he had the house of the Lord and the king's house and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, burned with fire:

14 Jerusalem kaepvai kah vongtung boeih te imtawt boeiping hmuikah Khalden caem pum loh a palet uh.

And the walls round Jerusalem were broken down by the Chaldaean army which was with the captain.

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.

Then Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, took away as prisoners the rest of the people who were still in the town, and those who had given themselves up to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the workmen.

16 Tedae khohmuen kah khodaeng rhoek tah imtawt boeiping Nebuzaradan loh dumpho neh lotawn la a paih.

But Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, let the poorest of the land go on living there, to take care of the vines and the fields.

17 Khalden loh BOEIPA im kah rhohum tung neh tungkho khaw, BOEIPA im kah rhohum tuitung khaw, amih kah rhohum boeih te aphaek uh tihBabylon la a khuen.

And the brass pillars which were in the house of the Lord, and the wheeled bases and the great brass water-vessel in the house of the Lord, were broken up by the Chaldaeans, who took all the brass away 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.

And the pots and the spades and the scissors for the lights and the spoons, and all the brass vessels used in the Lord's house, they took away.

19 Baeldung neh baelphaih khaw, baelcak neh am khaw, hmaitung khaw, yakbu neh tuisi-am khaw, sui dongkah sui khaw, ngun khuika ngun te khaw imtawt boeiping loh a khuen.

And the cups and the fire-trays and the basins and the pots and the supports for the lights and the spoons and the wide basins; the gold of the gold vessels, and the silver of the silver vessels, the captain of the armed men took away.

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 great water-vessel, and the twelve brass oxen which were under it, and the ten wheeled bases, which King Solomon had made for the house of the Lord: the brass of all these vessels was without weight.

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.

And as for the pillars, one pillar was eighteen cubits high, and twelve cubits measured all round, and it was as thick as a man's hand: it was 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.

And there was a crown of brass on it: the crown was five cubits high, circled with a network and apples all of brass; and the second pillar had the same.

23 Te dongah tale thaih te sawmko phoeiah parhuk om tih a kaepvai kah Sahamlong dongah khaw a pum la tale thaih yakhat om.

There were ninety-six apples on the outside; the number of apples all round the network was a hundred.

24 Imtawt boeiping loh khosoih boeilu Seraiah khaw, a hnukthoi khosoih Zephaniah neh cingkhaa aka tawt pathum te khaw a khuen.

And the captain of the armed men took Seraiah, the chief priest, and Zephaniah, the second priest, and the three door-keepers;

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.

And from the town he took the unsexed servant who was over the men of war, and seven of the king's near friends who were in the town, and the scribe of the captain of the army, who was responsible for getting the people of the land together in military order, and sixty men of the people of the land who were in the town.

26 Amih te imtawt boeiping Nebuzaradan loh a khuen tih Riblah kah Babylon manghai taengla a thak.

These Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, took with him 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.

And the king of Babylon put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was taken prisoner away from his land.

28 A kum rhih dongah tah Nebukhanezar loh pilnam he Judah hlang thawng thum phoeiah pakul pathum a poelyoe coeng.

These are the people whom Nebuchadrezzar took away prisoner: in the seventh year, three thousand and twenty-three Jews:

29 Nebukhanezar kah a kum hlai rhet dongah Jerusalem lamkah hinglu ya rhet sawmthum patnit a khuen.

And in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar he took away as prisoners from Jerusalem eight hundred and thirty-two persons:

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 Nebuchadrezzar, Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, took away as prisoners seven hundred and forty-five of the Jews: all the persons were four thousand and six hundred.

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.

And in the thirty-seventh year after Jehoiachin, king of Judah, had been taken prisoner, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-fifth day of the month, Evil-merodach, king of Babylon, in the first year after he became king, took Jehoiachin, king of Judah, out of prison.

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.

And he said kind words to him and put his seat higher than the seats 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.

And his prison clothing was changed, and he was a guest at the king's table every day 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 for his food, the king gave him a regular amount every day till the day of his death, for the rest of his life.
