Jeremiah 52

1 Zedekiah chu leng ahung channin kum somni le khat alhingtai, Jerusalem ‘a kum som le khat aleng chang e, anu min chu Hamutal ahin, Libnah kho – a Jeremiah chanu ahi.

Zedekiah was a son of twenty-one years when he first began to reign. And he reigned for eleven years in Jerusalem. And the name of his mother was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah from Libnah.

2 Ahivang in Zedekiah jong Pakai mitmun thilsi abol in, Jehoiachin lengpa bang in aum in ahi.

And he did what was evil in the eyes of the Lord, in accord with all that Jehoiakim had done.

3 Hiche thil hi anasoh in ahi. Pakai lunghanna konin Jerusalem le Judah gamsung chu amit mua konin abonchauvin atolmang tai. Zedekiah chu Babylon lengpa dounan gal abol’ in ahi.

And so the fury of the Lord was toward Jerusalem, and toward Judah, even until he cast them away from his face. And Zedekiah drew away from the king of Babylon.

4 Hichun Tuolbuol som le nga nikhon, a alengchan kumko lhinkum, Babylon lengpa Nubuchadnezzer chu aseipaite jouse toh Jerusalem satdin ahung un, amaidon na chun ponbuh asongun, akhopi kimvela galkul akaikhum taove.

And it happened that, in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth of the month, Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, he and his entire army, came against Jerusalem. And they besieged it, and they built fortifications against it, on every side.

5 Hitichun Zedekiah lengpa lengchankal kum som le khat lhin geijin Jerusalem chu aumchah tauve.

And the city was besieged, until the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.

6 Lhamul som le get, kum som le khat lhinna Zedekiah lengvaipoh chun kel akhohtan, gamsung mite din neh ding abeihel tai.

Then, in the fourth month, on the ninth of the month, a famine gripped the city. And there was no nourishment for the people of the land.

7 Chujouvin kulpi pal atumkeh tauve, Babylon miten khopi aumchah jeng vangun, jankah-in sepai jouse ajamdoh tauve, kulbang nikah-a lengpa hon lampi kotpi-a chun ajamdoh – un, Jordan phaicham lampi chu ajon taove.

And the city was broken, and all the men of war fled, and they departed from the city at night by way of the gate which is between the two walls, and which leads to the king’s garden, while the Chaldeans were besieging the city all around, and they went away by the road that leads to the wilderness.

8 Ahinlah Babylon Sepaiten Zedekiah lengpa chu adal uhvin. Jericho phaicham a aman tauve, Ama Sepaite jouse ama – a konin akithe cheh taove.

But the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king. And they overtook Zedekiah in the desert which is near Jericho. And all of his companions fled away from him.

9 Hichun ama chu amanun, Hamath gam'a Riblah a Babylon lengpa henga apui taove. Hia chun achung athu akitan tai.

And when they had captured the king, they led him away to the king of Babylon at Riblah, which is in the land of Hamath. And he spoke a judgment against him.

10 Ama mitmu changtah- in achapate le gam vaipote athapeh tai.

And the king of Babylon cut the throats of the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and he also killed all the leaders of Judah at Riblah.

11 Chujouvin Zedekiah mitchang teni chu akaldoh pehuvin, chun thihkhaovin akanin, Babylon lama akaijin, athi nikho geijin songkul’ a aumtai.

And he plucked out the eyes of Zedekiah, and he bound him with shackles, and the king of Babylon led him away to Babylon, and he placed him in the prison house, even until the day of his death.

12 Lhajing som le sagi nikho hiche kum, Nubuchadnezzar lengpa lengvaipoh kal kum som le ko lhinna ahin, Babylon lengpa kinbol, Sepai gal lamkai Nebuzaradan chu Jersusalem; a ahunglhun tai.

Then, in the fifth month, on the tenth of the month, which is the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, arrived. And he was standing before the king of Babylon at Jerusalem.

13 Ama Jerusalem a cheng milen milalte inho le leng inpi chule Pakai Houin ahallhai.

And he set fire to the house of the Lord, and to the house of the king, and to all the houses of Jerusalem. And every great house he burned with fire.

14 Chuin Aman Sepai jouse chu Jerusalem kimvela kulbang jouse avochim soh hel ding athulhah tai.

And the entire army of the Chaldeans, who were with the chief of the military, destroyed the entire wall all around Jerusalem.

15 Chujouvin Sepai gal lamkai Nubuzaradan’ in miho lah – a migenthei phabep le khopi sung a umnalai amohho, Babylon lengpa henga kipelut ho, chule khutthem umden loi ho sohchangin akaimang tai.

Then Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, took away some of the poor people, and some of the rest of the common people, who had remained in the city, and some of the fugitives, who had fled over to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude.

16 Mivaicha behseh, thil le lo bei chengse vang chu Judah gam'a adalhan, lengpilei le louva natong din akoiye.

Yet truly, some of the poor of the land, Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, left behind as vinedressers and farmers.

17 Babylon miten Pakai Houin mai a sum-eng khomho le sum – eng velkol, chule sum-eng konglen chutoh avobongsoh keiyun, abonchan sum-eng jouse Babylon lama atol tauve.

The Chaldeans also broke apart the bronze pillars that were in the house of the Lord, and the bases, and the sea of brass that was in the house of the Lord. And they took all the brass of these things to Babylon.

18 Amahon sum-eng chaiche le, maicham suhtheng teng vutlona, thaomei limbolna manchah chengse, kilhaina gantha teng thisan dolna khonho, gimnamtui lhutnamna khon chengse, adang dang Houin kinbolna kimang sum-eng manchah chengse chutoh apomang tauve.

And they took the cooking pots, and the hooks, and the psalteries, and the bowls, and the little mortars, and all the bronze vessels that had been used in the ministry.

19 Nubuzaradan, Sepai lamkaipa chun khon neoho le vutloho, kongtongho, khangbel lenho, meivah khomho, thihkhe ho, chule khon ho, sana- a kisem chu sana in, dangka- a kisem chu dangka-in akilah- in ahi.

And the chief of the military took the water pots, and the censers, and the pitchers, and the basins, and the lampstands, and the mortars, and the little cups, whatever was gold, for the gold, and whatever was silver, for the silver,

20 Hou in manchah dinga Solomon lengpa semsa sum-eng jouse, khom teni, velkol ho, atunna bongchal som le ni lim, agihval’ in tethei jong ahipoi.

as well as the two pillars, and the one brass sea, and the twelve oxen of brass that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made in the house of the Lord. There was no weight of brass left behind out of all these vessels.

21 Khompi khat chu asandan feet somni le sgai, akimvel feet somle get akol khumin, hichu bel li sa-a ahin, asung hom ahi.

Now concerning the pillars, one pillar was eighteen cubits high, and a cord of twelve cubits encircled it. Moreover, its thickness was four fingers, and the interior was hollow.

22 Khom khat cheh chunga hin sum-eng don khat cheh chunga hin sum-eng don

And heads of brass were upon both. And the height of one head was five cubits. And little nets with pomegranates were upon the heads all around, all of brass. The second pillar was similar, and the pomegranates.

23 Kolbuthei lim somko le gup cheh apang khatna aumin, themneltah a kijem chung achu agoma jakhat in akimvel ahi.

And there were ninety-six pomegranates hanging down; and there were one hundred pomegranates in all, surrounded by the little nets.

24 Nebuzaradan, Sepai lamkaipa in thempu chungnung Seraiah le Thempu ni channa Zephaniah chule kotngah thum hochu sohchang ding akaiyin ahi.

And the chief of the military took Seraiah, the first priest, and Zephaniah, the second priest, and the three keepers of the vestibule.

25 Khopi sunga konin sohchang din, Sepai gal lamkaipa, khopi sunga umnalai lengpa thumop’a pang mi sagi toh, gal lamkaipu thalhenpa, ama hi sepai thusim sun a pang ahin, chule milen cheh somgup toh akaithai.

He also took from the city one eunuch who was in charge of the men of war, and seven men among those who served before the face of the king, who were found in the city, and a scribe, a leader of the military, who tested the new recruits, and sixty men from the people of the land, who were found in the midst of the city.

26 Nabuzaradan, Sepai lamkai pan, abonchauvin Babylon lengpa umna Riblah alhut uvin ahi.

Then Nebuzaradan, the chief of the military, took them, and he led them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.

27 Chuin Babylon lengpan Hamath gam a Riblah mun’a athat gamtai. Hitobang chun Judah chu ama gam'a konin sohchangin aki kaimang tan ahi.

And the king of Babylon struck them and put them to death at Riblah, in the land of Hamath. And Judah was carried away from his land.

28 Nubuchadnezzarin alengchan kal kum sagi in soh chang a akaimang miho sangthum le somni le thum ahi.

This is the people whom Nebuchadnezzar carried away: in the seventh year, three thousand and twenty-three Jews;

29 Chujouvin Nebuchadnezzar lengchan kum som le getna in Jerusalem’a mi jaget le somthum le ni akai mangbe in ahi.

in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar, eight hundred thirty-two souls from Jerusalem;

30 Nebuchadnezzar lengchan kum som ni le thum kumin sepai lamkai Nebuzaradan asol in Judah te jasagi le somli lang ahinkai in, abonun mi sang li le jagup ahiuve.

in the twenty-third year of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuzaradan, the chief of the military, carried away of the Jews seven hundred forty-five souls. Therefore, all the souls were four thousand six hundred.

31 Kum somthum le sagi lhinna Judah lengpa Jehoiachin soh chan kal Lhakao somthum le khat hiche kum chun Evil Merodach Babylon lengpa dinmun chu alotai. Judah lengpa Jehoiachin chu khoto manin songkul’ a konin alhadoh tai

And it happened that, in the thirty-seventh year of the transmigration of Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-fifth of the month, Evilmerodach, the king of Babylon, in the very first year of his reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, and he brought him out of the prison house.

32 Jehoiachin hepitah –in, sohchang khom leng dang ho sang in jong jana len cheh achansah in ahi.

And he spoke with him for good, and he set his throne above the thrones of the kings who were after him in Babylon.

33 Asohchanna vonho akhelpeh-in, ahinkho lhum keiyin lengpa dokhang ankong anejom jingpeh tan ahi.

And he changed his prison garments, and he ate bread in his sight always, all the days of his life.

34 Chule aneh le chah dingin Babylon lengpa athini geijin tanglouvin ape jing tan ahi.

And for his meals, a continual provision was allotted to him by the king of Babylon, a measure for every single day, until the day of his death, all the days of his life.
