Jeremiah 39
1 Judah siangpahrang Zedekiah a bawinae kum 9, thapa yung hra nah Babilon siangpahrang Nebukhadnezar hoi a ransanaw ni Jerusalem a tuk awh teh a kalup awh.
In the ninth year and tenth month of Zedekiah king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came with all his army against Jerusalem and besieged it.
2 Zedekiah a bawinae kum 11, thapa yung pali hnin tako nah khopui rapan peng a raphoe awh.
In the eleventh year and fourth month of Zedekiah, on the ninth day of the month, the city was broken into.
3 Hahoi, Jerusalem a la awh toteh, Babilon siangpahrang kahrawikungnaw a kâen awh teh longkha lungui vah Negalsharezer, Sangarnebo, Sarsekhim, Rabsaris, Negalsharezer, Rabmag tinaw hoi Babilon kahrawikung alouke pueng hoi a tahung awh.
Then all the officials of the king of Babylon came and sat in the middle gate: Nebo-Sarsekim, Samgar Nebo, and Sarsechim, an important official. Nebo-Sarsekim was a high official and all the rest were the officials of the king of Babylon.
4 Hahoi, Judah siangpahrang Zedekiah hoi taran ka tuk e pueng ni ahnimouh a hmu awh toteh, a yawng takhai awh. Khopui thung hoi tangmin vah siangpahrang e takha koelah kalupnae tapang kahni touh e longkha koehoi a yawng awh, ama teh ayawn koe lah a cei.
It happened that when Zedekiah, king of Judah, and all his fighting men saw them, they fled. They went out at night from the city by the king's garden path, through the gate between the two walls. The king went out in the direction of the Arabah.
5 Hatei, Khaldean ransanaw ni ama hah a pâlei awh teh, Jeriko tanghling dawk rek a pha awh, a man awh hnukkhu Babilon siangpahrang Nebukhadnezar koe Hamath ram e Riblah kho dawk a ceikhai awh teh, ahni ni lawk a ceng.
But the army of Chaldeans pursued them and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of the Jordan River valley near Jericho. Then they captured him and brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, at Riblah in the land of Hamath, where Nebuchadnezzar passed sentence on him.
6 Babilon siangpahrang ni Riblah kho dawk a mithmu roeroe vah Zedekiah capanaw hah a thei pouh, Babilon siangpahrang ni Judah tami kacuenaw hai a thei awh.
The king of Babylon slaughtered Zedekiah's sons before his own eyes at Riblah. He also slaughtered all the noblemen of Judah.
7 Hothloilah, Zedekiah e mitmu a cawngkhawi pouh, sumbawtarui hoi a katek awh teh, Babilon lah a ceikhai awh.
Then he put out Zedekiah's eyes and bound him in bronze chains in order to take him to Babylon.
8 Khaldean taminaw ni siangpahrang im hoi alouke imnaw pueng hmai a sawi awh teh Jerusalem hai a raphoe awh.
Then the Chaldeans burned the king's house and the people's houses. They also tore down the walls of Jerusalem.
9 Ramvengnaw kahrawikung Nebuzaradan ni khopui thung kaawm e taminaw hoi ahnimouh koe kamkhueng e taminaw hoi kacawirae taminaw pueng Babilon vah san lah a ceikhai awh.
Nebuzaradan, the commander of the king's bodyguards, took into exile the rest of the people who were left in the city. This included the people who had deserted to the Chaldeans and the rest of the people who were left in the city.
10 Hahoi, ramvengnaw kahrawikung Nebuzaradan ni Judah ram e tami ka roedeng banghai ka tawn hoeh naw a ceikhai teh misur takha hoi lawnaw hah a poe.
But Nebuzaradan the commander of the king's bodyguards allowed the poorest people who had nothing for themselves to remain in the land of Judah. He gave them vineyards and fields on that same day.
11 Hahoi, Babilon siangpahrang Nebukhadnezar ni, Jeremiah kong dawk ramvengnaw kahrawikung Nebuzaradan koevah,
Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had given an order about Jeremiah to Nebuzaradan the commander of the king's bodyguards. He had said,
12 ahni hah cetkhai nateh kahawicalah khenyawn, khoeroe rektap hanh, nang koe ka dei e patetlah sak, telah kâ a poe.
“Take him and care for him. Do not harm him. Do for him anything he tells you.”
13 Hahoi, ramvengnaw kahrawikung Nebuzaradan ni Nebushasban hoi Rabsaris, Nergalsharezer, Rabmag tinaw hoi Babilon siangpahrang ransabawinaw lawk a thui teh,
So Nebuzaradan the commander of the king's bodyguards, Nebushazban the high eunuch, Nergal-Sharezer the high official, and all the most important officials of the king of Babylon sent men out.
14 ahnimouh ni Jeremiah teh ramvengnaw e rapan thung hoi a kaw awh teh, Saphan capa Ahikam capa Gedaliah koevah, a im dawk luen hanelah lawk a thui teh tamimaya koe kho a sak.
Their men took Jeremiah from the courtyard of the guard and entrusted him to Gedaliah son of Ahikam son of Shaphan, to take him home, so Jeremiah stayed among the people.
15 Hahoi, ramvengnaw e rapan thung pâkhi lah ao navah, BAWIPA e lawk teh Jeremiah koe a pha.
Now the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah while he was under arrest in the courtyard of the guard, saying,
16 Ethiopia tami Ebedmelek koevah, ransahu BAWIPA Isarel Cathut ni hettelah a dei, khenhaw! ahawi nahane laipalah hete khopui rawk phai nahanelah ka lawk ka pha sak vaiteh hot hnin roeroe vah na hmalah ka kuep sak han.
“Speak to Ebed-Melek the Cushite and say, 'Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this: See, I am about to carry out my words against this city for disaster and not for good. For they will all come true before you on that day.
17 Hot hnin vah nang teh rungngang e lah na o han, telah BAWIPA ni a dei. Na taki e taminaw koe poe e lah na awm mahoeh.
But I will rescue you on that day—this is Yahweh's declaration—and you will not be given into the hand of the men whom you fear.
18 Bangkongtetpawiteh, na rungngang roeroe vaiteh, tahloi hoi na dout mahoeh. Hatei. nang hringnae teh na hlout sak han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kai na kâuep dawkvah, telah BAWIPA ni a dei, telah dei pouh telah ati.
For I will certainly rescue you. You will not fall by the sword. You will escape with your life, since you trust in me—this was Yahweh's declaration.'”
