Jeremiah 52
1 Zedekiah a manghai vaengah kum kul kum khat lo ca tih Jerusalem ah kum hlai khat tah manghai van. A manu ming tah Hamutal tih, Hamutal tah Libnah lamkah Jeremiah canu ni.
Zedekiah was twenty-one when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for eleven years. His mother's name was Hamutal, daughter of Jeremiah She came from Libnah.
2 Jehoiakim loh boethae cungkuem a saii bangla Zedekiah loh BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a saii.
He did evil in the Lord's sight, just as Jehoiakim had done.
3 Te dongah a mikhmuh lamloh amih a voeih due Jerusalem neh Judah taengah BOEIPA kah thintoek om coeng. Zedekiah loh Babylon manghai te a tloelh.
All this happened in Jerusalem and Judah, because of the Lord's anger, until he eventually banished them from his presence. Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
4 Te dongah anih a manghai te kum ko hla rha a pha tih hlasae a hnin rha vaengah tah Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar amah neh a caem boeih te Jerusalem la ha pawk. A taengah rhaeh uh tih a kaepvai ah buep a saii uh.
In the ninth year of Zedekiah's reign, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, attacked Jerusalem with his entire army. He set up camp around the city and built siege ramps against the walls.
5 Manghai Zedekiah kah a kum hlai khat duela khopuei te vongup khuila pawk.
The city remained under siege until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.
6 A hla li kah hlasae hnin ko dongah tah khopuei khuiah khokha tlung tih khohmuen kah pilnam ham buh om pawh.
By the ninth day of the fourth month, the famine in the city was so bad that the people had nothing left to eat.
7 Te dongah khopuei te a va uh tih caemtloek hlang rhoek khaw boeih yong uh. Khoyin ah tah khopuei lamloh manghai dum kaep kah vongtung laklo kah vongka longpuei longah coe uh. Tedae khopuei kaep kah Khalden taeng lamloh kolken longpuei la cet uh.
Then the city wall was broken through, and all the soldiers ran away, escaping at night through the gate between the two walls by the king's garden, even though the Babylonians had the city surrounded. They went in the direction of the Arabah,
8 Te dongah Khalden caem loh manghai hnukah a hloem uh tih Zedekiah te Jerikho kolken ah a kae uh. Te dongah a caem khaw anih taeng lamloh boeih taekyaak uh.
but the Babylonian army chased after the king and caught up with him on the plains of Jericho. His whole army had scattered and left him.
9 Tedae manghai te a tuuk uh tih Khamath khohmuen Riblah kah Babylon manghai taengla a khuen uh tih anih sokah laitloeknah a thui pah.
They captured the king and took him to the king of Babylon at Riblah, where he sentenced him.
10 Babylon manghai loh Zedekiah ca rhoek te a mikhmuh ah a ngawn pah tih Judah mangpa boeih te khaw Riblah ah a ngawn.
The king of Babylon slaughtered Zedekiah's sons while he watched, and also killed the officials of Judah there at Riblah.
11 Te phoeiah Zedekiah mik te a dael sak tih rhohum neh a khih. Anih te Babylon kah Babylon manghai taengla a khuen tih a dueknah khohnin duela a im kah ngoldoelhnah im ah a khueh.
Then he gouged out Zedekiah's eyes, and bound him in bronze shackles. The king of Babylon took him to Babylon and imprisoned him there until the day he died.
12 Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar manghai kah a kum hlai ko kum, hla nga dongkah hlasae hnin rha dongah tah Babylon manghai mikhmuh ah aka pai imtawt boeiping Nebuzaradan te Jerusalem la ha pawk.
On the tenth day of the fifth month, in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan, the commander of the guard, an officer of the king of Babylon, entered Jerusalem.
13 BOEIPA im te a hoeh tih manghai im neh Jerusalem kah im boeih, im tanglue boeih khaw hmai neh a hoeh pah.
He burned down the Lord's Temple, the royal palace, and all the large buildings of Jerusalem.
14 Jerusalem kaepvai kah vongtung boeih te imtawt boeiping hmuikah Khalden caem pum loh a palet uh.
The whole Babylonian army under the commander of the guard knocked down all the walls around Jerusalem.
15 Te vaengah pilnam khodaeng neh khopuei ah aka sueng pilnam hlangrhuel khaw, Babylon manghai taengah cungku la aka cungku khaw, bibi thai hlangrhuel khaw imtawt boeiping khaw Nebuzaradan loh a poelyoe.
Nebuzaradan, the commander of the guard, deported some of the poor people and those who were left in the city, even those who had gone over to the side of the king of Babylon, as well as the rest of the craftsmen.
16 Tedae khohmuen kah khodaeng rhoek tah imtawt boeiping Nebuzaradan loh dumpho neh lotawn la a paih.
But Nebuzaradan allowed others of the poor people who were left in the country to stay and take care of the vineyards and the fields.
17 Khalden loh BOEIPA im kah rhohum tung neh tungkho khaw, BOEIPA im kah rhohum tuitung khaw, amih kah rhohum boeih te aphaek uh tihBabylon la a khuen.
The Babylonians broke into pieces the bronze pillars, the movable carts, and the bronze Sea that belonged to the Lord's Temple, and they took all the bronze to Babylon.
18 Am neh hmaisoh khaw, paitaeh neh baelcak khaw, yakbu neh rhohum hnopai boeih, amih taengkah aka thotat rhoek te khaw a khuen uh.
They also took all the pots, shovels, lamp snuffers, sprinkling bowls, and all the other bronze items used in the Temple service.
19 Baeldung neh baelphaih khaw, baelcak neh am khaw, hmaitung khaw, yakbu neh tuisi-am khaw, sui dongkah sui khaw, ngun khuika ngun te khaw imtawt boeiping loh a khuen.
The commander of the guard removed the basins, censers, sprinkling bowls, pots, lampstands, dishes and bowls, anything that was made of pure gold or silver.
20 Tung panit tui-im pakhat hmuikah tungkho, rhohum vaito hlai nit khaw a khuen. Te te manghai Solomon loh BOEIPA im ham a saii tih te rhohum hnopai boeih kah a khiing te sava pawh.
The amount of bronze that came from the two columns, the Sea, the twelve bronze bulls under it, and the movable carts, which Solomon had made for the Lord's Temple, all of this weighed more than could be measured.
21 Tung a sang mah tung pakhat dongah a sang dong hlai rhet om coeng tih rhuihet neh dong hlai nit la a som coeng. A thah kutdawn pali thah tih khui.
Each column was eighteen cubits tall and twelve cubits around. They were hollow with walls four fingers thick.
22 A sokah tungthi khaw rhohum tih tungthi pakhat kah a sang te dong nga om. Tungthi sokah sahamlong neh tale khaw a kaepvai khaw rhohum boeih ni. A pabae tung khaw te phek la tale neh om.
The bronze capital on top of one column was five cubits high, with a network of bronze pomegranates around it. The second column was the same, and also had a decorative network.
23 Te dongah tale thaih te sawmko phoeiah parhuk om tih a kaepvai kah Sahamlong dongah khaw a pum la tale thaih yakhat om.
There were ninety-six bronze pomegranates around each column. Above the network were a total of one hundred pomegranates.
24 Imtawt boeiping loh khosoih boeilu Seraiah khaw, a hnukthoi khosoih Zephaniah neh cingkhaa aka tawt pathum te khaw a khuen.
The commander of the guard took as prisoners Seraiah, the chief priest, Zephaniah the priest, second in rank, and the three Temple doorkeepers.
25 Caemtloek hlang soah hlangtawt la aka om imkhoem pakhat neh manghai maelhmai aka so hlang parhih a khuen. Te te khopuei khuiah a hmuh uh tih khohmuen pilnam aka hueh caempuei mangpa kah cadaek neh khopuei khui kah a hmuh khohmuen pilnam hlang sawmrhuk te khopuei lamloh a khuen.
From those left in the city he took the officer in charge of the soldiers, and seven of the king's advisors. He also took the secretary to the army commander who was in charge of calling up the people for military service, and sixty other men who were present in the city.
26 Amih te imtawt boeiping Nebuzaradan loh a khuen tih Riblah kah Babylon manghai taengla a thak.
Nebuzaradan, the commander of the guard, took them and brought them before the king of Babylon at Riblah.
27 Amih te Babylon manghai loh a ngawn tih Khamath khohmuen kah Riblah ah amih te a duek sak. Judah tah amah khohmuen dong lamloh a poelyoe tangloeng.
The king of Babylon had them executed at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So the people of Judah had to leave their land.
28 A kum rhih dongah tah Nebukhanezar loh pilnam he Judah hlang thawng thum phoeiah pakul pathum a poelyoe coeng.
This is a record of the number of people Nebuchadnezzar took into exile. In the seventh year of his reign he took 3,023 Judeans.
29 Nebukhanezar kah a kum hlai rhet dongah Jerusalem lamkah hinglu ya rhet sawmthum patnit a khuen.
In his eighteenth year Nebuchadnezzar took another 832 from Jerusalem.
30 Nebukhanezar kah kum kul kum thum dongah imtawt boeiping Nebuzaradan loh Judah hinglu ya rhih sawmli panga neh hinglu boeih thawng li ya rhuk te a poelyoe.
In his twenty-third year of Nebuchadnezzar's reign, Nebuzaradan, the commander of the guard, took another 745 Judeans, making a total of 4,600.
31 Judah manghai Jehoiakhin hlangsol kah kum sawmthum kum rhih hla hlai nit hlasae hnin kul hnin nga lo coeng. Babylon manghai Evilmerodakh kah a ram a pai kum ah tah Judah manghai Jehoiakhin lu te thongim kah im lamloh a hlah.
In the year Evil-merodach became king of Babylon, he released Jehoiachin, king of Judah, from prison. This happened on the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth month of the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin, king of Judah.
32 A taengah a then a thui pah tih manghai rhoek kah ngolkhoel soah khaw, Babylon ah amah taengkah manghai rhoek taengah khaw Jehoiakhin ham ngolkhoel a khueh pah.
The king of Babylon treated him well him and gave him a position of honor higher than the other kings there with him in Babylon.
33 Te dongah a thongim himbai te a thovael tih manghai hmai kah buh te a hing tue khuiah phat a caak.
So Jehoiachin was able to remove his prison clothes, and he ate frequently at the king's table for the rest of his life.
34 A buhkak tah buhkak mai akhaw anih te rhawp a paek. A hing tue khui neh a dueknah khohnin duela a hnin, hnin ah Babylon manghai taeng lamkah olka te khaw a yaak.
The king provided Jehoiachin with a daily allowance for the rest of his life until he died.
