Then it happened that, in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, he and his entire army, arrived against Jerusalem. And they encircled it, and they constructed fortifications all around it.
2 Hottelah siangpahrang Zedekiah a bawinae kum 11 totouh kho teh a kalup awh.
And the city was enclosed and besieged, even until the eleventh year of king Zedekiah,
3 Thapa yung 4 nah hnin 9 hnin vah ram thung e taminaw hanelah rawca laipalah ka patawpoung e takang a tho.
on the ninth day of the month. And a famine prevailed in the city; neither was there bread for the people of the land.

And the city was breached. And all the men of war fled in the night along the way of the gate which is between the double wall at the garden of the king. Now the Chaldeans were besieging the city on all sides. And so Zedekiah fled along the way which leads to the plains of the wilderness.
5 Hatei teh, Khaldean ransanaw ni siangpahrang hah pâlei awh teh, Jeriko tanghling dawk a pha awh, a ransanaw pueng ni dung a yawng takhai awh.
And the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king, and they overtook him in the plains of Jericho. And all the warriors who were with him were dispersed, and they abandoned him.
6 Siangpahrang hah a man awh teh Riblah vah Babilon siangpahrang koe a hrawi awh teh lawk a ceng awh.
Therefore, having apprehended him, they led the king to the king of Babylon at Riblah. And he was speaking with him in judgment.
7 Zedekiah e capa hah a mithmu vah a thei awh. Zedekiah e a mitmu hah a cawngkhawi awh teh, king a katek nalaihoi Babilon vah a hrawi awh.
Then he killed the sons of Zedekiah before him, and he dug out his eyes, and he bound him with chains, and he led him away to Babylon.
8 Hottelah Babilon siangpahrang Nebukhadnezar a bawinae kum 9, thapa yung 5, hnin 7 hnin vah Babilon siangpahrang karingkungnaw kahrawikung, Nebuzaradan teh Jerusalem vah a kâen.
In the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, the same is the nineteenth year of the king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan, the leader of the army, a servant of the king of Babylon, went into Jerusalem.
9 BAWIPA im hoi siangpahrang im hah hmai a sawi awh teh Jerusalem imnaw pueng im kalennaw pueng hah hmai koung a sawi awh.
And he set fire to the house of the Lord, and to the house of the king. And the houses of Jerusalem, and every great house, he burned with fire.
10 Karingnaw kahrawikungnaw koe kaawm e Khaldean ransanaw pueng ni Jerusalem rapannaw pueng hah a raphoe awh.
And the entire army of the Chaldeans, which was with the leader of the military, tore down the walls of Jerusalem all around.
11 Khopui thung kaawm rae naw pueng hoi, Babilon siangpahrang koe lah kaawm e taminaw pueng hoi, karingkungnaw kahrawikung Nebuzaradan ni san lah a hrawi awh.
Then Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, carried away the rest of the people, who had remained in the city, and the fugitives, who had fled over to the king of Babylon, and the remnant of the common people.
12 Hote ram dawk e karoedengnaw, banghai cungkeihoehe naw karingkungnaw kahrawikung ni takhakatawkkungnaw hoi law kaphawnaw lah a ta awh.
But he left behind some vinedressers and farmers from the poor of the land.
13 Bawipa im dawk e rahum khompui hoi, rahum e tui im, tui kamhluknae naw hah Khaldean taminaw ni rakrak a hem awh teh rahum naw hah Babilon vah a sin awh.
Now the pillars of brass which were in the temple of the Lord, and the bases, and the sea of brass, which was in the house of the Lord, the Chaldeans broke apart. And they took all the brass to Babylon.
14 Hlaam hoi hraba kawnnae, hmaiim, paitei, pacen hoi, rahum ailo, tongben pueng, thawngnae hnopai pueng koung a la awh.
Also, they took away the cooking pots of brass, and the scoops, and the forks, and the cups, and the little mortars, and all the articles of brass with which they were ministering.
15 Tongben hoi, hlaam, sui hoi ngun hoi sak e hnopainaw pueng karingkungnaw kahrawikung ni koung a la pouh.
And the leader of the military even took away the censers and the bowls, whatever was of gold for the gold, and whatever was of silver for the silver,
16 Solomon ni BAWIPA im hanelah a sak e khom kahni touh hoi rahum tuiim hoi rahum pâhungnae amkhoung, rahum a ri e teh panue thai hanelah awm hoeh.
and also the two pillars, the one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made for the temple of the Lord. The brass of all these items was beyond measure.

One pillar had eighteen cubits in height. And the head of brass upon it was three cubits in height. And the network and pomegranates upon the head of the pillar were all of brass. And the second pillar had a similar adornment.
18 Karingkungnaw kahrawikung ni vaihma bawi Seraiah hoi vaihma Zephaniah hoi tho ka ring e kathum touh a man.
Also, the leader of the military took away Seraiah, the chief priest, and Zephaniah, the second priest, and three doorkeepers,

and from the city, one eunuch, who was in charge of the men of war, and five men out of those who had stood before the king, whom he found in the city, and Sopher, the leader of the army who trained the young soldiers from the people of the land, and sixty men from the common people, who had been found in the city.
20 Karingkungnaw kahrawikung Nebuzaradan ni Riblah hoi Babilon siangpahrang koevah a ceikhai.
Taking them, Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, led them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.
21 Babilon siangpahrang ni Hamath ram e Riblah vah a thei awh. Hahoi teh, Judahnaw teh a ram dawk hoi san lah a hrawi awh.
And the king of Babylon struck them and killed them at Riblah, in the land of Hamath. And Judah was taken away from his land.
22 Hahoi Babilon siangpahrang Nebukhadnezar ni, Judah ram a ta e tami thung dawk Shaphan capa, Ahikam capa Gadaliah hah bawi lah a ta awh.
But over the people who had remained in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, had permitted, he appointed as ruler Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan.
23 Hahoi teh, ransa kahrawikungnaw pueng hoi a kut rahim e naw ni Babilon siangpahrang ni, Gadaliah teh bawi lah a sak toe tie a panue awh toteh, Mizpah vah Gadaliah koevah a cei awh. Hotnaw teh, Nathaniah capa Ishmael, Kareah capa Johanan, Netophah tami Tanhumeth capa Seraiah, Maakath capa Jaazaniah hoi a kut rahim e naw doeh.
And when all the commanders of the military had heard this, they and the men who were with them, specifically, that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedaliah, they went to Gedaliah at Mizpah: Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan, the son of Kareah, and Seraiah, the son of Tanhumeth, the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah, the son of a Maacathite, they and their companions.
24 Gedaliah ni hote taminaw hoi a taminaw koevah, lawkkamnae a sak teh ahnimouh koe Khaldeannaw e san lah o hanelah taket hanh awh. Het ram dawk ma pou awm awh. Babilon siangpahrang kâ ngainae rahim vah awm awh nateh, namamouh hane kahawi han atipouh.
And Gedaliah swore to them and to their companions, saying: “Do not be afraid to serve the Chaldeans. Remain in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.”
25 Hatei thapa yung 7 nah, siangpahrang catoun Elishama capa Nathaniah capa Ishmael ni tami 10 touh a ceikhai teh, Gedaliah teh Mizpah e Judahnaw koe kaawm e Khaldean taminaw hoi a tuk awh teh be a thei awh.
But it happened that, in the seventh month, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of royal offspring, and ten men with him, went and struck Gedaliah, who then died, along with the Jews and the Chaldeans who were with him at Mizpah.
26 Hottelah taminaw pueng kalen, kathoung ransabawinaw hoi a tâco teh, Izip ram vah a cei awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Khaldean taminaw, a taki awh dawk doeh.
And all the people, from small to great, and the leaders of the military, rising up, went away to Egypt, fearing the Chaldeans.

Truly, it happened that, in the thirty-seventh year of the transmigration of Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, Evilmerodach, the king of Babylon, in the year when he had begun to reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, from prison.
28 Kahawicalah kho a pouk teh Babilon vah ahni koe kaawm e siangpahrangnaw hlak ka rasang poung e tungkhung a poe.
And he spoke kindly to him. And he set his throne above the throne of the kings who were with him at Babylon.
29 Jehoiakhin teh, thongim a bonae khohna a kâthung teh a hringyung thung pueng siangpahrang hmalah a ca a nei.
And he changed his garments that he had worn in prison. And he ate bread before him always, during all the days of his life.
30 A hringyung thung hnintangkuem a ca hanelah siangpahrang ni a poe teh a coe sak.
Also, he appointed to him an allowance without ceasing, which also was given to him by the king, for each day, during all the days of his life.
