< 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 twenty-one years old when he began to reign. He reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
2 Ahivang in Zedekiah jong Pakai mitmun thilsi abol in, Jehoiachin lengpa bang in aum in ahi.
He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, according to 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.
For through the LORD’s anger this happened in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence. Zedekiah rebelled against 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.
In the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it; and they built forts against it round about.
5 Hitichun Zedekiah lengpa lengchankal kum som le khat lhin geijin Jerusalem chu aumchah tauve.
So the city was besieged to 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.
In the fourth month, in the ninth day of the month, the famine was severe in the city, so that there was no bread 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.
Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war fled, and went out of the city by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king’s garden. Now the Chaldeans were against the city all around. The men of war went towards the Arabah,
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 overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.
9 Hichun ama chu amanun, Hamath gam'a Riblah a Babylon lengpa henga apui taove. Hia chun achung athu akitan tai.
Then they took the king, and carried him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he pronounced judgement on him.
10 Ama mitmu changtah- in achapate le gam vaipote athapeh tai.
The king of Babylon killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes. He also killed all the princes of Judah in Riblah.
11 Chujouvin Zedekiah mitchang teni chu akaldoh pehuvin, chun thihkhaovin akanin, Babylon lama akaijin, athi nikho geijin songkul’ a aumtai.
He put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him in fetters, and carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison 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.
Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, who stood before the king of Babylon, came into Jerusalem.
13 Ama Jerusalem a cheng milen milalte inho le leng inpi chule Pakai Houin ahallhai.
He burnt the LORD’s house, and the king’s house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, he burnt with fire.
14 Chuin Aman Sepai jouse chu Jerusalem kimvela kulbang jouse avochim soh hel ding athulhah tai.
All the army of the Chaldeans, who were with the captain of the guard, broke down all the walls of Jerusalem all around.
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 captain of the guard carried away captive of the poorest of the people, and the rest of the people who were left in the city, and those who fell away, who defected 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.
But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poorest of the land to be vineyard keepers 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 broke the pillars of bronze that were in the LORD’s house and the bases and the bronze sea that were in the LORD’s house in pieces, and carried all of their bronze 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.
They also took away the pots, the shovels, the snuffers, the basins, the spoons, and all the vessels of bronze with which they ministered.
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.
The captain of the guard took away the cups, the fire pans, the basins, the pots, the lamp stands, the spoons, and the bowls; that which was of gold, as gold, and that which was of silver, as 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.
They took the two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve bronze bulls that were under the bases, which King Solomon had made for the LORD’s house. The bronze of all these vessels was without weight.
21 Khompi khat chu asandan feet somni le sgai, akimvel feet somle get akol khumin, hichu bel li sa-a ahin, asung hom ahi.
As for the pillars, the height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits; and a line of twelve cubits encircled it; and its thickness was four fingers. It was hollow.
22 Khom khat cheh chunga hin sum-eng don khat cheh chunga hin sum-eng don
A capital of bronze was on it; and the height of the one capital was five cubits, with network and pomegranates on the capital all around, all of bronze. The second pillar also had the same, with pomegranates.
23 Kolbuthei lim somko le gup cheh apang khatna aumin, themneltah a kijem chung achu agoma jakhat in akimvel ahi.
There were ninety-six pomegranates on the sides; all the pomegranates were one hundred on the network all around.
24 Nebuzaradan, Sepai lamkaipa in thempu chungnung Seraiah le Thempu ni channa Zephaniah chule kotngah thum hochu sohchang ding akaiyin ahi.
The captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold,
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.
and out of the city he took an officer who was set over the men of war; and seven men of those who saw the king’s face, who were found in the city; and the scribe of the captain of the army, who mustered the people of the land; and sixty men of the people of the land, who were found in the middle of the city.
26 Nabuzaradan, Sepai lamkai pan, abonchauvin Babylon lengpa umna Riblah alhut uvin ahi.
Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to 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.
The king of Babylon struck them, and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away captive out of his land.
28 Nubuchadnezzarin alengchan kal kum sagi in soh chang a akaimang miho sangthum le somni le thum ahi.
This is the number of the people whom Nebuchadnezzar carried away captive: 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, he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred and thirty-two persons;
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 captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred and forty-five people. All the people numbered four thousand and 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
In the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the twenty-fifth day of the month, Evilmerodach king of Babylon, in the first year of his reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and released him from prison.
32 Jehoiachin hepitah –in, sohchang khom leng dang ho sang in jong jana len cheh achansah in ahi.
He spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings who were with him in Babylon,
33 Asohchanna vonho akhelpeh-in, ahinkho lhum keiyin lengpa dokhang ankong anejom jingpeh tan ahi.
and changed his prison garments. Jehoiachin ate bread before him continually all the days of his life.
34 Chule aneh le chah dingin Babylon lengpa athini geijin tanglouvin ape jing tan ahi.
For his allowance, there was a continual allowance given him by the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life.
