< Jeremiah 39 >

1 In the tenth month of the ninth year of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and his whole army arrived at Jerusalem and besieged it.
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.
2 On the ninth day of the fourth month of the eleventh year of Zedekiah's reign, the city wall was broken through.
Zedekiah a bawinae kum 11, thapa yung pali hnin tako nah khopui rapan peng a raphoe awh.
3 All the officials of the king of Babylon came in and took over the city, making their headquarters at the Middle Gate. They were Nergal-sharezer of Samgar, Nebo-sarsekim the Rabsaris, Nergal-sharezer the Rabmag, and all the other officials of the king of Babylon.
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.
4 When Zedekiah king of Judah and all the defenders saw them there, they ran away. They escaped from the city during the night through the king's garden, passing through the gate between the two walls, and took the road to the Arabah.
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.
5 But the Babylonian army chased after them and caught up with Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho. They captured him and brought him before Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon at Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he put him on trial and punished him.
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.
6 The king of Babylon had Zedekiah's sons killed as Zedekiah watched, and he also executed all of Judah's leaders there in Riblah.
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.
7 Then he had Zedekiah's eyes gouged out, and had him bound with bronze chains and taken away to Babylon.
Hothloilah, Zedekiah e mitmu a cawngkhawi pouh, sumbawtarui hoi a katek awh teh, Babilon lah a ceikhai awh.
8 The Babylonians burned down the king's palace and the people's houses, and they demolished Jerusalem's city walls.
Khaldean taminaw ni siangpahrang im hoi alouke imnaw pueng hmai a sawi awh teh Jerusalem hai a raphoe awh.
9 Then Nebuzaradan the commander of the guard carried off to Babylon the rest of the people who had stayed in the city, together with those who had deserted and gone over to him.
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.
10 But he left behind in the land of Judah some of the poorest people who didn't have any property. He gave them vineyards and fields at that time.
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.
11 Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had given orders to Nebuzaradan the commander of the guard regarding Jeremiah, saying,
Hahoi, Babilon siangpahrang Nebukhadnezar ni, Jeremiah kong dawk ramvengnaw kahrawikung Nebuzaradan koevah,
12 “Go and get Jeremiah and watch out that nothing bad happens to him. Do whatever he wants.”
ahni hah cetkhai nateh kahawicalah khenyawn, khoeroe rektap hanh, nang koe ka dei e patetlah sak, telah kâ a poe.
13 So Nebuzaradan the commander of the guard, Nebushazban the Rabsaris, Nergal-sharezer the Rabmag, and all the army captains of the king of Babylon
Hahoi, ramvengnaw kahrawikung Nebuzaradan ni Nebushasban hoi Rabsaris, Nergalsharezer, Rabmag tinaw hoi Babilon siangpahrang ransabawinaw lawk a thui teh,
14 took Jeremiah from the guard's courtyard, and they handed him over to Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, to take him home. Jeremiah stayed there with his own people.
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.
15 During the time that Jeremiah had been kept prisoner in the guard's courtyard, a message from the Lord had come to him:
Hahoi, ramvengnaw e rapan thung pâkhi lah ao navah, BAWIPA e lawk teh Jeremiah koe a pha.
16 “Go and tell Ebed-melech the Cushite that this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I am about to keep my promise I made against this city—to harm it and not to help it—you'll see it for yourself when it happens.
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.
17 But when that day comes I'm going to save you, declares the Lord. You won't be handed over to the people you're afraid of.
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.
18 I promise to rescue you so that you're won't be killed. Your reward will be your life, because you trusted in me, declares the Lord.”
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.
