< Jeremiah 52 >

1 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eleven years. His mother’s name was Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah; she was from Libnah.
Zedekiah teh siangpahrang a tawknae kum 21 touh a pha. Jerusalem vah kum 11 touh a uk, a manu min teh Hamutal, Libnah kho e Jeremiah e canu doeh.
2 And Zedekiah did evil in the sight of the LORD, just as Jehoiakim had done.
Jehoiakim ni ouk a sak e patetlah BAWIPA e mithmu vah hawihoehnae a sak.
3 For because of the anger of the LORD, all this happened in Jerusalem and Judah, until He finally banished them from His presence. And Zedekiah also rebelled against the king of Babylon.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA a lungkhuek teh a hmalah hoi he takhoe e totouh Jerusalem hoi Judah ram dawk hete hnonaw a pha. Hattoteh Zedekiah teh Babilon siangpahrang taranlahoi taran a thaw.
4 So in the ninth year of Zedekiah’s reign, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon marched against Jerusalem with his entire army. They encamped outside the city and built a siege wall all around it.
A uknae kum 9, thapa yung hra, hnin 10 nah Babilon siangpahrang Nebukhadnezar hoi a ransanaw pueng Jerusalem tuk hanlah a tho awh. A roe sin awh teh tengpam petkâkalup lah a tungpup awh.
5 And the city was kept under siege until King Zedekiah’s eleventh year.
Hottelah siangpahrang Zedekiah abawinae kum 11 totouh khopui hah king a ven awh.
6 By the ninth day of the fourth month, the famine in the city was so severe that the people of the land had no food.
Thapa yung pali, hnin 9 nah khopui dawk takang ka patawpoung lah a tho sak teh, ram thung rangpuinaw ca hane banghai awm hoeh toe.
7 Then the city was breached; and though the Chaldeans had surrounded the city, all the men of war fled the city by night by way of the gate between the two walls near the king’s garden. They headed toward the Arabah,
Hat toteh, khopui kalupnae tapang a thuk awh teh, ransanaw pueng a yawng awh. Siangpahrang takha koe e tapang kahni rahak e longkha koehoi a tâco awh teh, tangmin vah khopui thung hoi a yawng awh. Khaldean taminaw khopui tengpam ao awh eiteh, a yawng lam lah a cei awh.
8 but the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho, and all his army was separated from him.
Hatei, Khaldean ransanaw ni siangpahrang hah a pâlei awh teh, Jeriko yawn dawk rek a pha awh. A ransanaw pueng ahni koehoi a kâkapek awh.
9 The Chaldeans seized the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he pronounced judgment on Zedekiah.
Zedekiah a man awh teh Babilon siangpahrang koe Hamath ram e Riblah kho dawk a ceikhai awh teh, ahni ni ama kong dawk lawk a ceng.
10 There at Riblah the king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and he also killed all the officials of Judah.
Babilon siangpahrang ni Zedekiah capa hah a mithmu roeroe vah a thei. Ribah vah Judah kahrawikungnaw pueng a thei.
11 Then he put out Zedekiah’s eyes, bound him with bronze shackles, and took him to Babylon, where he kept him in custody until his dying day.
Zedekiah e mitmu hai a cawngkhawi pouh. Babilon siangpahrang ni sumbawtarui hoi a pâkhi teh, Babilon lah a ceikhai, a due totouh thongim vah a paung.
12 On the tenth day of the fifth month, in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar’s reign over Babylon, Nebuzaradan captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, entered Jerusalem.
Hahoi Babilon siangpahrang Nebukhadnezar abawinae kum 19, thapa yung panga, hnin hra nah siangpahrang karingkungnaw kahrawikung, Babilon siangpahrang hmalah ouk kangdout e Nebuzaradan teh Jerusalem vah a kâen.
13 He burned down the house of the LORD, the royal palace, and all the houses of Jerusalem—every significant building.
BAWIPA e im hoi siangpahrang im hah hmai a sawi. Jerusalem e im kalenpoungnaw pueng hmai koung a sawi.
14 And the whole army of the Chaldeans under the captain of the guard broke down all the walls around Jerusalem.
Khaldean ransa, siangpahrang karingkungnaw thung kaawmnaw pueng ni Jerusalem kalupnae teh a tengpam hoi he a raphoe awh.
15 Then Nebuzaradan captain of the guard carried into exile some of the poorest people and those who remained in the city, along with the deserters who had defected to the king of Babylon and the rest of the craftsmen.
Hat toteh, karingkungnaw kahrawikung Nebuzaradan ni tami ka roedeng tangawn hoi, khopui thung kaawm rae tami pueng hoi Babilon siangpahrang koe ka kâhmoun tangcoungnaw hoi kacawirae kutsakkathoumnaw pueng hah san lah a ceikhai.
16 But Nebuzaradan captain of the guard left behind some of the poorest of the land to tend the vineyards and fields.
Hatei, karingkungnaw kahrawikung Nebuzaradan ni ram dawk e ka roedeng tangawn hah takhakatawkkungnaw lah a hruek.
17 Moreover, the Chaldeans broke up the bronze pillars and stands and the bronze Sea in the house of the LORD, and they carried all the bronze to Babylon.
Hahoi BAWIPA im dawk e rahum khom, hoi BAWIPA im dawk e rahum tuiim hoi kawlungnaw hah Khaldean taminaw ni koung a kâbawng sak teh rahumnaw pueng Babilon lah a ceikhai awh.
18 They also took away the pots, shovels, wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, dishes, and all the articles of bronze used in the temple service.
Hlaam hoi hraba kawnnae, paitei, ampaikei, sumpacen, ouk a hro awh e rahum hnopai pueng he a la awh.
19 The captain of the guard also took away the basins, censers, sprinkling bowls, pots, lampstands, pans, and drink offering bowls—anything made of pure gold or fine silver.
Manang hoi hrabakawnnae, tongben, hlaam, hmaiimkhoknaw, sumpacen, sui hoi sak e hoi, ngun hoi sak e pueng teh, karingkungnaw kahrawikung ni he a la.
20 As for the two pillars, the Sea, the twelve bronze bulls under it, and the movable stands that King Solomon had made for the house of the LORD, the weight of the bronze from all these articles was beyond measure.
Rahum hoi sak e khom kahni touh, maitotan hlaikahni touh, rahum tuiim pâhungnae, Solomon siangpahrang ni BAWIPA im hanelah a sak e naw hah, hete rahum pacen tawngben pueng teh boeba hai khing leklak hoeh.
21 Each pillar was eighteen cubits tall and twelve cubits in circumference; each was hollow, four fingers thick.
Hahoi khom buet touh dong 18 touh a rasang teh, petkâtue lah dong 12 touh a pha. A tha e dek pali touh a pha teh, a lungui vuk kâko.
22 The bronze capital atop one pillar was five cubits high, with a network of bronze pomegranates all around. The second pillar, with its pomegranates, was similar.
A som dawk rahum kaco e ao. A lû kacoum e teh dong panga touh a pha. A lû ka coum e petkâkalup lah rahum hoi pathoup e lah ao teh, talepawmei hai ao. Khom apâhni e dawk kaawm e talepaw hoi a kâvan.
23 Each capital had ninety-six pomegranates on the sides, and a total of a hundred pomegranates were above the surrounding network.
Khom vang lah talepaw 96 touh ao. Petkâkalup lah pathoupnae talepaw teh 100 touh a pha.
24 The captain of the guard also took away Seraiah the chief priest, Zephaniah the priest of second rank, and the three doorkeepers.
Hahoi, karingkungnaw kahrawikung ni vaihma bawi Seraiah hoi vaihma apâhni e Zephaniah hoi hmaiim khenyawnkung kathum touh hai a man.
25 Of those still in the city, he took a court official who had been appointed over the men of war, as well as seven trusted royal advisers. He also took the scribe of the captain of the army, who had enlisted the people of the land, and sixty men who were found in the city.
Tarankatuknaw e thung kahrawikung lah ta e naw tami sari touh siangpahrang ouk kahmawt e khopui vah kaawm e hoi ransa ka hrawi e cakathutkung, ram dawk e tami minnaw ouk ka pâkuem e hoi ram dawk e taminaw thung hoi 60 touh khopui dawk kaawmnaw hah khopui thung hoi a tâcokhai.
26 Nebuzaradan captain of the guard took them and brought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.
Karingkungnaw kahrawikung Nebuzaradan ni ahnimouh a ceikhai teh, Riblah e Babilon siangpahrang koevah, a ceikhai.
27 There at Riblah in the land of Hamath, the king of Babylon struck them down and put them to death. So Judah was taken into exile, away from its own land.
Babilon siangpahrang ni Hamath ram e Riblah vah ahnimouh a tuk awh teh a thei, hat toteh, Judah teh a ram dawk hoi san lah ceikhai lah ao.
28 These are the people Nebuchadnezzar carried away: in the seventh year, 3,023 Jews;
Hetnaw teh Nebukhadnezar ni tamimaya san lah a hrawi e naw doeh. Kum 7 nae dawk Judahnaw 3023,
29 in Nebuchadnezzar’s eighteenth year, 832 people from Jerusalem;
Nebukhadnezar abawinae kum 18 nae dawk Jerusalem hoi tami 832 touh san lah a hrawi.
30 in Nebuchadnezzar’s twenty-third year, Nebuzaradan captain of the guard carried away 745 Jews. So in all, 4,600 people were taken away.
Nebukhadnezar abawinae kum 23 nae dawk karingkungnaw kahrawikung Nebuzaradan ni 745 touh san lah a hrawi. Abuemlahoi tami 4600 touh a pha.
31 On the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth month of the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the first year of the reign of Evil-merodach king of Babylon, he pardoned Jehoiachin king of Judah and released him from prison.
Hahoi Judah siangpahrang Jehoiakhin abawinae kum 37, thapa yung 12, hnin 25 nah, Babilon siangpahrang Evilmerodak ni abawinae kum kum touh nah, Judah siangpahrang Jehoiakhin teh a rasa awh teh, thongim hoi a tâco sak awh.
32 And he spoke kindly to Jehoiachin and set his throne above the thrones of the other kings who were with him in Babylon.
Kahawicalah a kâpankhai awh teh, Babilon hoi ahni koe kaawm e siangpahrangnaw e tungkhung hlak ka rasanghnawn lah tungkhung a ta pouh awh.
33 So Jehoiachin changed out of his prison clothes, and he dined regularly at the king’s table for the rest of his life.
Hottelah, Jehoiakhin thongim dawk khohna a kâthung teh, a hringyung thung siangpahrang hmalah bu ouk a ca.
34 And the king of Babylon provided Jehoiachin a daily portion for the rest of his life, until the day of his death.
Hnintangkuem a ham hah Babilon siangpahrang ni kawkhik nahanlah a hringyung pueng, a due hnin totouh hnintangkuem a ham hah a poe.
