< 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 lengpa Zedekiah lengpa lengvaipoh kumko lhinkum, lhasom lhin in, Babylon lengpa Nebuchadnezzar leh asepaite ahung kon uvin, Jerusalem khopi ahin delkhum tauvin ahi.
2 And on the ninth day of the fourth month of Zedekiah’s eleventh year, the city was breached.
Chuchejou kumni leh keh lhinkum, Zedekiah lengvaipoh kumsom lekhat lhinkum, lhali lhin in, Babylon miten Jerusalem kulpi bang munkhat ahin vokeh uvin, khopi sung chu alotauvin ahi.
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.
Hichun Babylon sepaite leh avaipoteu, abonchauvin khopi sunga ahung lut uvin, kelkot lailha pen’a chun atoudentauve. Amaho chu: Nergar-sharezer samgar, Nebo-Sarsekim, Nergar-sharezer dangkhat toh chuke gamvaipo dang dangho toh ahiuve.
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 lengpa leh asepaiten, Babylon mite khopi sunga ahunglut’u chu amu-uvin, abonchauvin ajamdoh tauve. Amahon jan muthim noiya chun, kulpi bang teni kikah a kum kelkot chu ajotpaiyun, lengpa honlei lampia acheuvin, Jordan phaicham ajontauvin ahi.
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.
Ahivangin, Babylon sepaiten amaho chu anung del un, Jericho phaicham a aphauvin, lengpa chu amantauve. Amahon Zedekiah lengpa chu, Hamath gam’a Riblah mun’a um Babylon lengpa Nebuchadnezzar kom’a apuiluttauve. Hichun Nebuchadnezzar lengpan Zedekiah chunga thu atantai.
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.
Zedekiah lengpa chu, Babylon sepaiten, Judah gamvaipo holeh leng chapate jouse, asatlih’u chu, amittah in avetsah uvin ahi.
7 Then he put out Zedekiah’s eyes and bound him with bronze chains to take him to Babylon.
Chuin, Zedekiah lengpa chu amit teni akaldoh peh un, thihkhaovin ahen un, Babylon gamlanga akaitauvin ahi.
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.
Hichun Babylon miten, lengpa inpi jouse jaonan Jerusalem khopi chu neiyin ahallha tauve. Chule khopi kulpi bang jouse jong chu asuchim soh tauve.
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.
Chujouvin, in-ngah lamkaipa Nebuzaradan leh midang aumden ho chule ama henga hung kipelut chengse chu, Babylon gam’a sohchang dingin akaitauvin ahi.
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.
Ahin Nebuzaradan chun, Judah gamsunga mivaicha dehset ho chu, lengpilei honleh loumun tampi apen, phatea avettup diuvin angansetan ahi.
11 Now Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had given orders about Jeremiah through Nebuzaradan captain of the guard, saying,
Babylon lengpa Nebuchadnezzar in, in-ngahpa Nebuzaradan chu Jeremiah holdoh dingin, thupeh aneitan ahi.
12 “Take him, look after him, and do not let any harm come to him; do for him whatever he says.”
Aman Nebuzaradan jah’a, “Amapa hi phaten vetup inlang, koima bolset sah hih in. Aman angaichat chan penlang, aman asei bang bangin jen in,” ati.
13 So Nebuzaradan captain of the guard, Nebushazban the Rabsaris, Nergal-sharezer the Rabmag, and all the captains of the king of Babylon
Hijeh chun in-ngahpa Nebuzaradan, vaihom pipu Nebushazban, lengpa thumop Nergar-sharezer chule Babylon lengpa noiya lengvaipoho chun,
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.
Mi asol uvin, singkul a kon’in Jeremiah agapuidoh sah uvin, avetup dingin Shaphan tupa, Ahikam chapa, Gedaliah chu anganse tauve. Hichun Gedaliah in Jeremiah chu ainlam’a alepuiyin, hitichun, ama amite lalh’a acheng dentai.
15 And while Jeremiah had been confined in the courtyard of the guard, the word of the LORD had come to him:
Jeremiah chu songkul'a akihen nalaiyin, Pakaiyin akom’a thu ahinseiye.
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.
“Chenlang Ethiopia mi Ebed-melech chu seipeh in. Thaneipen Pakai, Israel Pathen in hitin aseiye; Keiman hiche khopi douna kanaseisa banga kahin bolding ahi. Keiman hamsetna achunguva kalhunsah ding, hichu apha hilou ding, nangman namittah a amaho manthah chu namu ding ahi.
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.
Amavang hiche nikho chuleh keiman nangma chutobang kichat tijat na-a kon’a kahuh dohding nahi.
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.’”
Ajeh chu keiman nangma neitahsan jal’a, keiman nangma hinkho chu kahuh doh ding nahi. Keiman nangma kahuhdoh’a bitkeiya kaumsah ding nahi,” tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
