< 2 Kings 25 >
1 And it comes to pass, in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth of the month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has come, he and all his force, against Jerusalem, and encamps against it, and builds a surrounding fortification against it.
Zedekiah a manghai te kum ko dongla a pha vaengkah hla rha, hla hnin rha dongah ah tah Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar neh a thadueng pum tah Jerusalem la pawk. Te dongah a rhaeh thil tih a kaepvai ah buep a to thil uh.
2 And the city enters into siege until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.
Te dongah khopuei tah Zedekiah manghai kah kum hlai khat hil vongup khuiah om.
3 On the ninth of the month, when the famine is severe in the city, then there has not been bread for the people of the land.
A hla ko phoeiah tah khopuei ah khokha tlung coeng. Te dongah khohmuen pilnam ham buh om voel pawh.
4 And the city is broken up, and all the men of war [go] by night the way of the gate, between the two walls that [are] by the garden of the king, and the Chaldeans [are] against the city all around, and [the king] goes the way of the plain.
Tedae khopuei te a pook vaengah tah caemtloek hlang boeih khaw khoyin ah manghai dum kaep, vongtung laklo kah vongka longpuei longah coeuh. Te vaengah khopuei kaepvai kah Khalden rhoek khaw kolken longpuei la cet uh.
5 And the force of the Chaldeans pursue after the king, and overtake him in the plains of Jericho, and all his force have been scattered from him;
Tedae Khalden caem loh manghai hnuk te a hloem tih Jerikho kolken ah a kae uh. Te dongah a caem boeih khaw anih taeng lamloh taekyak uh.
6 and they seize the king, and bring him up to the king of Babylon, to Riblah, and they speak judgment with him.
Manghai te a tuuk uh tih Riblah kah Babylon manghai taengla a khuen uh phoeiah anih sokah laitloeknah te a thui uh.
7 And they have slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and he has blinded the eyes of Zedekiah, and binds him with bronze chains, and they bring him to Babylon.
Zedekiah koca rhoek te a mikhmuh ah a ngawn uh. Zedekiah mik te khaw a dael sak tih rhohum neh a khih phoeiah Babylon la a khuen.
8 And in the fifth month, on the seventh of the month (it [is] the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon), Nebuzaradan chief of the executioners, servant of the king of Babylon, has come to Jerusalem,
Babylon manghai, manghai Nebukhanezar kah kum hlai ko kum kah a hla nga, hlasae hnin rhih vaengah Babylon manghai kah sal imtawt boei Nebuzaradan te Jerusalem la pawk.
9 and he burns the house of YHWH, and the house of the king, and all the houses of Jerusalem, indeed, he has burned every great house with fire;
Te vaengah BOEIPA im neh manghai im khaw, Jerusalem kah im boeih khaw a hoeh pah tih im len boeih khaw hmai neh a hoeh.
10 and all the forces of the Chaldeans, who [are] with the chief of the executioners, have broken down the walls of Jerusalem all around.
Jerusalem kaepvai kah vongtung te khaw imtawt boei kah Khalden caem pum loh a palet uh.
11 And the rest of the people, those left in the city, and those falling who have fallen to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude, Nebuzaradan chief of the executioners has removed;
Khopuei ah aka sueng pilnam kah a coih rhoek khaw, Babylon manghai taengla aka kun la aka kun rhoek khaw, hlangping kah a coihpaih khaw imtawt boei Nebuzaradan loh a poelyoe.
12 and of the poor of the land the chief of the executioners has left for vinedressers and for farmers.
Tedae khohmuen kah khodaeng te tah imtawt boei loh dumpho neh lotawn la a paih.
13 And the pillars of bronze that [are] in the house of YHWH, and the bases, and the sea of bronze, that [is] in the house of YHWH, the Chaldeans have broken in pieces, and carry away their bronze to Babylon.
BOEIPA im kah rhohum tung te khaw, tungkho te khaw, BOEIPA im kah rhohum tuili te khaw Khalden loh a phaek tih a rhohum rhoek te Babylon la a phueih uh.
14 And the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the spoons, and all the vessels of bronze with which they minister, they have taken;
Am neh hmaisoh te khaw, paitaeh neh yakbu te khaw, rhohum hnopai boeih neh amih taengah aka thotat rhoek khaw a loh uh.
15 and the fire-pans, and the bowls that [are] wholly of silver, the chief of the executioners has taken.
Baelphaih neh baelcak te khaw sui, sui neh ngun, ngun te tah imtawt boei loh a khuen.
16 The two pillars, the one sea, and the bases that Solomon made for the house of YHWH, there was no weighing of the bronze of all these vessels;
Solomon loh BOEIPA im ham a saii tung panit, tuili pakhat, tungkho rhoek neh a hnopai cungkuem dongkah rhohum te a khiing thui lek pawh.
17 eighteen cubits [is] the height of the one pillar, and the capital on it [is] of bronze, and the height of the capital [is] three cubits, and the net and the pomegranates [are] on the capital all around—the whole [is] of bronze; and the second pillar has like these, with the net.
Tung pakhat kah a sang he dong hlai rhet lo tih a sokah tungthi te rhohum la om. Tungthi kah a sang he a dong la dong thum lo. Tungthi soah sahamlong neh talae thaih om tih a kaep boeih te rhohum ni. Te phek la tung pabae dongah khaw sahamlong neh om.
18 And the chief of the executioners takes Seraiah the head priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold;
Imtawt boei loh khosoih boeilu Seraiah neh khosoih hnukthoi Zephaniah khaw, cingkhaa aka hung pathum te khaw a khuen.
19 and he has taken out of the city a certain eunuch who is appointed over the men of war, and five men of those seeing the king’s face who have been found in the city, and the head scribe of the host who musters the people of the land, and sixty men of the people of the land who are found in the city;
Te vaengah khopuei lamkah caemtloek hlang so neh manghai maelhmai aka hmu tih khopuei ah aka phoe hlang panga soah hlangtawt la aka om imkhoem pakhat loh khohmuen pilnam aka muk caempuei mangpa kah cadaek neh khopuei ah aka phoe khohmuen pilnam hlang sawmrhuk te a khuen.
20 and Nebuzaradan chief of the executioners takes them, and causes them to go to the king of Babylon, to Libnah,
Imtawt boei Nebuzaradan loh amih te a loh tih Riblah kah Babylon manghai taengla a thak.
21 and the king of Babylon strikes them, and puts them to death in Riblah, in the land of Hamath, and he removes Judah from off its land.
Amih te Babylon manghai loh a ngawn dongah Khamath khohmuen kah Riblah ah a duek sak. Te tlam ni Judah te amah khohmuen dong lamloh a poelyoe.
22 And the people that are left in the land of Judah whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has left—he appoints Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, over them.
Pilnam khaw Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar loh a caknoi rhoek te tah Judah khohmuen ah sueng uh van tih amih ham te Shaphan koca Ahikam capa Gedaliah te a khueh pah.
23 And all the heads of the forces hear—they and the men—that the king of Babylon has appointed Gedaliah, and they come to Gedaliah, to Mizpah, even Ishmael son of Nethaniah, and Johanan son of Kareah, and Seraiah son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah son of the Maachathite—they and their men;
Babylon manghai loh Gedaliah a khueh te amih kah tatthai mangpa boeih rhoek neh hlang rhoek loh a yaak uh dongah Mizpah kah Gedaliah te a paan uh. Te vaengah Nethaniah capa Ishmael, Kareah capa Johanan, Netophah Tanhumeth capa Seraiah, Maakathi capa Jaazaniah neh amih kah hlang rhoek khaw thumuh.
24 and Gedaliah swears to them and to their men, and says to them, “Do not be afraid of the servants of the Chaldeans, dwell in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and it is good for you.”
Gedaliah loh amih ham neh amih hlang rhoek ham khaw a toemngam tih amih te, “Khalden sal rhoek te rhih uh boeh, khohmuen ah khosa uh lamtah Babylon manghai taengah thotat uh, nangmih taengah voelphoeng bitni,” a ti nah.
25 And it comes to pass, in the seventh month, Ishmael son of Nathaniah has come, son of Elishama of the seed of the kingdom, and ten men with him, and they strike Gedaliah, and he dies, and the Jews and the Chaldeans who have been with him in Mizpah.
Tedae hla rhih dongla a pha vaengah tah mangpa tiingan lamkah Elishama koca Nethaniah capa Ishmael neh a taengkah hlang parha te ha pawk tih Gedaliah te a ngawn uh. Te dongah Mizpah kah anih taengah aka om Judah rhoek neh Khalden rhoek khaw duek.
26 And all the people rise, from small even to great, and the heads of the forces, and come to Egypt, for they have been afraid of the presence of the Chaldeans.
Te dongah pilnam pum te tanoe lamloh kangham hil thoo uh tih tatthai mangpa rhoek khaw Khalden te a rhih uh dongah Egypt la pawk uh.
27 And it comes to pass, in the thirty-seventh year of the expulsion of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh of the month, Evil-Merodach king of Babylon has lifted up, in the year of his reigning, the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, out of the house of restraint,
Judah manghai Jehoiakhin hlangsol kah sawmthum kum rhih neh a hla hlai nit hlasae hnin kul hnin rhih vaengkah Babylon manghai Evilmerodakh a manghai kum dongah Judah manghai Jehoiakhin kah a lu te thong im lamloh a loeih sak.
28 and speaks good things with him and puts his throne above the throne of the kings who [are] with him in Babylon,
Anih te a then a thui pah tih a ngolkhoel te khaw amah taengkah Babylon manghai rhoek kah ngolkhoel lakah a sola a paek.
29 and has changed the garments of his restraint, and he has eaten bread continually before him all [the] days of his life,
Anih kah thong himbai te a tho pah tih a hing tue khuiah tah amah mikhmuh ah buh phat a caak sak.
30 and his allowance—a continual allowance—has been given to him from the king, the matter of a day in its day, all [the] days of his life.
Anih ham te buhkak mai akhaw a hing tue khuitah a hnin bal, hnin bal, a ol bangla manghai taeng lamkah buhkak te ni anih taengla phat a paek.
