Jeremiah 39
1 In the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon marched against Jerusalem with his entire army and laid siege to the city.
Judah manghai Zedekiah kah a kum ko hla rha dongah Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar tah amah kah caem boeih neh Jerusalem la ha pawk uh tih a dum.
2 And on the ninth day of the fourth month of Zedekiah’s eleventh year, the city was breached.
Zedekiah kah a kum hlai at a hla li dongkah hlasae hnin ko vaengah khopuei te rhek.
3 Then all the officials of the king of Babylon entered and sat in the Middle Gate: Nergal-sharezer of Samgar, Nebo-sarsekim the Rabsaris, Nergal-sharezer the Rabmag, and all the rest of the officials of the king of Babylon.
Te vaengah Babylon manghai kah mangpa boeih ha pawk tih laklung vongka ah Nergalsharezer, Samgarnebo, Rabsaris, Sarsekhim, Nergalsharezer, Rabmag neh Babylon manghai kah mangpa kah a meet rhoek khaw boeih ngol uh.
4 When Zedekiah king of Judah and all the soldiers saw them, they fled. They left the city at night by way of the king’s garden, through the gate between the two walls, and they went out along the route to the Arabah.
Judah manghai Zedekiah neh caemtloek hlang boeih loh amih a hmuh vaengah tah yong uh. Khoyin ah khopuei lamloh manghai dum long kah vongka neh vongtung laklo longah coe uh tih kolken longpuei la pawk.
5 But the army of the Chaldeans pursued them and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho. They seized him and brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon at Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he pronounced judgment on him.
Tedae Khalden caem loh amih hnukah a hloem tih Zedekiah te Jerikho kolken ah tah a kae uh. Anih te a tuuk uh tih Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar taengla a thak uh. Khamath kho khuikah Riblah ah anih soah laitloeknah a thui.
6 There at Riblah the king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and he also killed all the nobles of Judah.
Babylon manghai loh Zedekiah ca rhoek te Riblah kah amah mikhmuh ah a ngawn. Judah hlangcoelh boeih te khaw Babylon manghai loh a ngawn.
7 Then he put out Zedekiah’s eyes and bound him with bronze chains to take him to Babylon.
Zedekiah mik te khaw a dael sak tih Babylon la khuen ham rhohum neh a khih.
8 The Chaldeans set fire to the palace of the king and to the houses of the people, and they broke down the walls of Jerusalem.
Manghai im neh pilnam im te Khalden loh hmai neh a hoeh tih Jerusalem vongtung te a palet uh.
9 Then Nebuzaradan captain of the guard carried away to Babylon the remnant of the people who had remained in the city, along with the deserters who had defected to him.
Khopuei ah aka sueng pilnam hlangrhuel khaw, amah taengla aka cungku, aka cungku neh pilnam hlangrhuel aka sueng te khaw Babylon imtawt boeiping Nebuzaradan loh a poelyoe.
10 But Nebuzaradan left behind in the land of Judah some of the poor people who had no property, and at that time he gave them vineyards and fields.
Tedae pilnam lamkah a taengah pakhat khaw aka khueh pawh tattloel rhoek te tah imtawt boeiping Nebuzaradan loh Judah khohmuen ah a hlun tih amih te tekah khohnin ah misurdum neh lohmuen a paek.
11 Now Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had given orders about Jeremiah through Nebuzaradan captain of the guard, saying,
Jeremiah ham te Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar loh imtawt boeiping Nebuzaradan kut ah a uen tih,
12 “Take him, look after him, and do not let any harm come to him; do for him whatever he says.”
“Anih he khuen lamtah na mik te anih soah khueh. Anih taengah boethae pakhat khaw saii boeh. Na taengah a thui bangla anih ham saii pah van,” a ti nah.
13 So Nebuzaradan captain of the guard, Nebushazban the Rabsaris, Nergal-sharezer the Rabmag, and all the captains of the king of Babylon
Te phoeiah imtawt boeiping Nebuzaradan, Rabsaris Nebushasban, Rabmag Nergalsharezer neh Babylon manghai kah boeiping te boeih a tueih.
14 had Jeremiah brought from the courtyard of the guard, and they turned him over to Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, to take him home. So Jeremiah remained among his own people.
A tueih bangla Jeremiah te thongim vongup lamloh a loh uh tih im la thak ham Shaphan koca Ahikam capa Gedaliah taengah a paek uh tih pilnam lakli ah kho a sak.
15 And while Jeremiah had been confined in the courtyard of the guard, the word of the LORD had come to him:
Thongim vongup ah khaih la a om vaengah BOEIPA ol he Jeremiah taengla ha pawk tih,
16 “Go and tell Ebed-melech the Cushite that this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘I am about to fulfill My words against this city for harm and not for good, and on that day they will be fulfilled before your eyes.
“Cet lamtah Kushi Ebedmelek te thui pah. 'Israel Pathen caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. He khopuei he ka ol ka thoeng rhoe ka thoeng sak coeng ne. Te khohnin ah yoethaenah he na mikhmuh ah om vetih hnothen om mahpawh.
17 But I will deliver you on that day, declares the LORD, and you will not be delivered into the hands of the men whom you fear.
Tedae te khohnin ah nang kan huul ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Na rhih hlang rhoek kut dongah n'tloeng mahpawh.
18 For I will surely rescue you so that you do not fall by the sword. Because you have trusted in Me, you will escape with your life like a spoil of war, declares the LORD.’”
Nang te kan loeih rhoe kan loeih sak ni. cunghang dongah khaw na cungku pawt vetih kai dongah na pangtung coeng dongah na hinglu te na taengah kutbuem bangla la om ni he tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni, 'ti nah,” a ti.
