It happened that in the ninth year of the reign of King Zedekiah, in the tenth month, and on the tenth day of the month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came with all his army against Jerusalem. He camped opposite it, and they built a siege wall around it.
2 Hottelah siangpahrang Zedekiah a bawinae kum 11 totouh kho teh a kalup awh.
So the city was besieged until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah's reign.
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 fourth month of that year, the famine was so severe in the city that there was no food for the people of the land.
4 Hahoi khopui kalupnae tapang hah vak a muk awh teh, karum lah tarankatuknaw teh siangpahrang takha teng e kalupnae tapang kahni touh e rahak kalupnae longkha koe lah a yawng awh. Khaldean taminaw ni kho hah king a ring awh teh siangpahrang teh tanghling lam koe lah a cei.
Then the city was broken into, and all the fighting men fled at night by the way of the gate between the two walls, by the king's garden, although the Chaldeans were all around the city. The king went in the direction of the Arabah.
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.
But the army of Chaldeans pursued King Zedekiah and overtook him in the plains of the Jordan River valley near Jericho. All his army was scattered away from him.
6 Siangpahrang hah a man awh teh Riblah vah Babilon siangpahrang koe a hrawi awh teh lawk a ceng awh.
They captured the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah, where they passed sentence on him.
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.
As for Zedekiah's sons, they slaughtered them before his eyes. Then he put out his eyes, bound him in bronze chains, and brought him 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.
Now in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan, a servant of the king of Babylon and commander of his bodyguards, came to 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.
He burned the house of Yahweh, the king's palace, and all the houses of Jerusalem; also every important building in the city he burned.
10 Karingnaw kahrawikungnaw koe kaawm e Khaldean ransanaw pueng ni Jerusalem rapannaw pueng hah a raphoe awh.
As for all the walls around Jerusalem, all the army of the Babylonians who were under the commander of the bodyguard destroyed them.
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.
As for the rest of the people who were left in the city, those who had deserted to the king of Babylon, and the remainder of the population—Nebuzaradan, the commander of the bodyguard, took them away into exile.
12 Hote ram dawk e karoedengnaw, banghai cungkeihoehe naw karingkungnaw kahrawikung ni takhakatawkkungnaw hoi law kaphawnaw lah a ta awh.
But the commander of the bodyguard did leave some of the poorest of the land to work the vineyards and fields.
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.
As for the bronze pillars that were in the house of Yahweh, and the stands and the bronze sea that were in the house of Yahweh, the Chaldeans broke them into pieces and carried the bronze back to Babylon.
14 Hlaam hoi hraba kawnnae, hmaiim, paitei, pacen hoi, rahum ailo, tongben pueng, thawngnae hnopai pueng koung a la awh.
The pots, shovels, lamp trimmers, spoons, and all the utensils of bronze with which the priests had served in the temple—the Chaldeans took them all away.
15 Tongben hoi, hlaam, sui hoi ngun hoi sak e hnopainaw pueng karingkungnaw kahrawikung ni koung a la pouh.
The pots for removing ashes and the bowls that were made of gold, and those made of silver—the captain of the king's guard took them away as well.
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.
The two pillars, the sea, and the stands that Solomon had made for the house of Yahweh contained more bronze than could be weighed.
17 Khom ka rasang poung e teh dong 18 touh a pha teh, a som vah rahum khom pasum e ao. Hate rahum khom pasum e teh dong 3 touh a rasang, rahum khom pasum e dawk rahum em hoi, rahumnaw hoi akawi. Alouke khomnaw hai hottelah ao teh, rahum emnaw hoi akawi.
The height of the first pillar was eighteen cubits, and a capital of bronze was on top of it. The capital was three cubits high, with latticework and pomegranates all around on the capital, all made of bronze. The other pillar and its latticework were the same as the first.
18 Karingkungnaw kahrawikung ni vaihma bawi Seraiah hoi vaihma Zephaniah hoi tho ka ring e kathum touh a man.
The commander of the bodyguard took Seraiah the chief priest, together with Zephaniah, the second priest, and the three gatekeepers.

From the city he took prisoner an officer who was in charge of soldiers, and five men of those who advised the king, who were still in the city. He also took prisoner the king's army officer responsible for drafting men into the army, along with sixty important men from the land who were in the city.
20 Karingkungnaw kahrawikung Nebuzaradan ni Riblah hoi Babilon siangpahrang koevah a ceikhai.
Then Nebuzaradan, the commander of the bodyguard, took them and brought 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.
The king of Babylon put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. In this way, Judah went out of its land into exile.
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.
As for the people who remained in the land of Judah, those whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, he put Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, in charge of them.
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.
Now when all the commanders of the soldiers, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, they went to Gedaliah at Mizpah. These men were Ishmael son of Nethaniah, Johanan son of Kareah, Seraiah son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah son of the Maakathite—they and their men.
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.
Gedaliah made an oath to them and to their men, and said to them, “Do not be afraid of the Chaldean officials. Live in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and it will go 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 son of Nethaniah son of Elishama, from the royal family, came with ten men and attacked Gedaliah. Gedaliah died, along with the men of Judah and the Babylonians 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.
Then all the people, from the least to the greatest, and the commanders of the soldiers, arose and went to Egypt, because they were afraid of the Babylonians.
27 Hahoi Jehoiakhin san lah a onae kum 37, thapa 12, hnin 27 nah Babilon siangpahrang, Evilmerodak ni a bawinae kum nah Judah siangpahrang Jehoiakhin teh, thongim thung hoi a hlout sak.
It happened later in the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, that Awel-Marduk king of Babylon released Jehoiachin king of Judah from prison. This happened in the year that Awel-Marduk began to reign.
28 Kahawicalah kho a pouk teh Babilon vah ahni koe kaawm e siangpahrangnaw hlak ka rasang poung e tungkhung a poe.
He spoke kindly to him and gave him a seat more honorable than that of the other kings who were with him in Babylon.
29 Jehoiakhin teh, thongim a bonae khohna a kâthung teh a hringyung thung pueng siangpahrang hmalah a ca a nei.
Awel-Marduk removed Jehoiachin's prison clothes, and Jehoiachin ate regularly at the king's table for the rest of his life.
30 A hringyung thung hnintangkuem a ca hanelah siangpahrang ni a poe teh a coe sak.
A regular food allowance was given to him every day for the rest of his life.
