Jeremiah 52
1 Zedekiah chu leng ahung channin kum somni le khat alhingtai, Jerusalem ‘a kum som le khat aleng chang e, anu min chu Hamutal ahin, Libnah kho – a Jeremiah chanu ahi.
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.
2 Ahivang in Zedekiah jong Pakai mitmun thilsi abol in, Jehoiachin lengpa bang in aum in ahi.
And Zedekiah did evil in the sight of the LORD, just as Jehoiakim had done.
3 Hiche thil hi anasoh in ahi. Pakai lunghanna konin Jerusalem le Judah gamsung chu amit mua konin abonchauvin atolmang tai. Zedekiah chu Babylon lengpa dounan gal abol’ in ahi.
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.
4 Hichun Tuolbuol som le nga nikhon, a alengchan kumko lhinkum, Babylon lengpa Nubuchadnezzer chu aseipaite jouse toh Jerusalem satdin ahung un, amaidon na chun ponbuh asongun, akhopi kimvela galkul akaikhum taove.
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.
5 Hitichun Zedekiah lengpa lengchankal kum som le khat lhin geijin Jerusalem chu aumchah tauve.
And the city was kept under siege until King Zedekiah’s eleventh year.
6 Lhamul som le get, kum som le khat lhinna Zedekiah lengvaipoh chun kel akhohtan, gamsung mite din neh ding abeihel tai.
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.
7 Chujouvin kulpi pal atumkeh tauve, Babylon miten khopi aumchah jeng vangun, jankah-in sepai jouse ajamdoh tauve, kulbang nikah-a lengpa hon lampi kotpi-a chun ajamdoh – un, Jordan phaicham lampi chu ajon taove.
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,
8 Ahinlah Babylon Sepaiten Zedekiah lengpa chu adal uhvin. Jericho phaicham a aman tauve, Ama Sepaite jouse ama – a konin akithe cheh taove.
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.
9 Hichun ama chu amanun, Hamath gam'a Riblah a Babylon lengpa henga apui taove. Hia chun achung athu akitan tai.
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.
10 Ama mitmu changtah- in achapate le gam vaipote athapeh tai.
There at Riblah the king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and he also killed all the officials of Judah.
11 Chujouvin Zedekiah mitchang teni chu akaldoh pehuvin, chun thihkhaovin akanin, Babylon lama akaijin, athi nikho geijin songkul’ a aumtai.
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.
12 Lhajing som le sagi nikho hiche kum, Nubuchadnezzar lengpa lengvaipoh kal kum som le ko lhinna ahin, Babylon lengpa kinbol, Sepai gal lamkai Nebuzaradan chu Jersusalem; a ahunglhun tai.
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.
13 Ama Jerusalem a cheng milen milalte inho le leng inpi chule Pakai Houin ahallhai.
He burned down the house of the LORD, the royal palace, and all the houses of Jerusalem—every significant building.
14 Chuin Aman Sepai jouse chu Jerusalem kimvela kulbang jouse avochim soh hel ding athulhah tai.
And the whole army of the Chaldeans under the captain of the guard broke down all the walls around Jerusalem.
15 Chujouvin Sepai gal lamkai Nubuzaradan’ in miho lah – a migenthei phabep le khopi sung a umnalai amohho, Babylon lengpa henga kipelut ho, chule khutthem umden loi ho sohchangin akaimang tai.
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.
16 Mivaicha behseh, thil le lo bei chengse vang chu Judah gam'a adalhan, lengpilei le louva natong din akoiye.
But Nebuzaradan captain of the guard left behind some of the poorest of the land to tend the vineyards and fields.
17 Babylon miten Pakai Houin mai a sum-eng khomho le sum – eng velkol, chule sum-eng konglen chutoh avobongsoh keiyun, abonchan sum-eng jouse Babylon lama atol tauve.
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.
18 Amahon sum-eng chaiche le, maicham suhtheng teng vutlona, thaomei limbolna manchah chengse, kilhaina gantha teng thisan dolna khonho, gimnamtui lhutnamna khon chengse, adang dang Houin kinbolna kimang sum-eng manchah chengse chutoh apomang tauve.
They also took away the pots, shovels, wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, dishes, and all the articles of bronze used in the temple service.
19 Nubuzaradan, Sepai lamkaipa chun khon neoho le vutloho, kongtongho, khangbel lenho, meivah khomho, thihkhe ho, chule khon ho, sana- a kisem chu sana in, dangka- a kisem chu dangka-in akilah- in ahi.
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.
20 Hou in manchah dinga Solomon lengpa semsa sum-eng jouse, khom teni, velkol ho, atunna bongchal som le ni lim, agihval’ in tethei jong ahipoi.
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.
21 Khompi khat chu asandan feet somni le sgai, akimvel feet somle get akol khumin, hichu bel li sa-a ahin, asung hom ahi.
Each pillar was eighteen cubits tall and twelve cubits in circumference; each was hollow, four fingers thick.
22 Khom khat cheh chunga hin sum-eng don khat cheh chunga hin sum-eng don
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.
23 Kolbuthei lim somko le gup cheh apang khatna aumin, themneltah a kijem chung achu agoma jakhat in akimvel ahi.
Each capital had ninety-six pomegranates on the sides, and a total of a hundred pomegranates were above the surrounding network.
24 Nebuzaradan, Sepai lamkaipa in thempu chungnung Seraiah le Thempu ni channa Zephaniah chule kotngah thum hochu sohchang ding akaiyin ahi.
The captain of the guard also took away Seraiah the chief priest, Zephaniah the priest of second rank, and the three doorkeepers.
25 Khopi sunga konin sohchang din, Sepai gal lamkaipa, khopi sunga umnalai lengpa thumop’a pang mi sagi toh, gal lamkaipu thalhenpa, ama hi sepai thusim sun a pang ahin, chule milen cheh somgup toh akaithai.
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.
26 Nabuzaradan, Sepai lamkai pan, abonchauvin Babylon lengpa umna Riblah alhut uvin ahi.
Nebuzaradan captain of the guard took them and brought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.
27 Chuin Babylon lengpan Hamath gam a Riblah mun’a athat gamtai. Hitobang chun Judah chu ama gam'a konin sohchangin aki kaimang tan ahi.
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.
28 Nubuchadnezzarin alengchan kal kum sagi in soh chang a akaimang miho sangthum le somni le thum ahi.
These are the people Nebuchadnezzar carried away: in the seventh year, 3,023 Jews;
29 Chujouvin Nebuchadnezzar lengchan kum som le getna in Jerusalem’a mi jaget le somthum le ni akai mangbe in ahi.
in Nebuchadnezzar’s eighteenth year, 832 people from Jerusalem;
30 Nebuchadnezzar lengchan kum som ni le thum kumin sepai lamkai Nebuzaradan asol in Judah te jasagi le somli lang ahinkai in, abonun mi sang li le jagup ahiuve.
in Nebuchadnezzar’s twenty-third year, Nebuzaradan captain of the guard carried away 745 Jews. So in all, 4,600 people were taken away.
31 Kum somthum le sagi lhinna Judah lengpa Jehoiachin soh chan kal Lhakao somthum le khat hiche kum chun Evil Merodach Babylon lengpa dinmun chu alotai. Judah lengpa Jehoiachin chu khoto manin songkul’ a konin alhadoh tai
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.
32 Jehoiachin hepitah –in, sohchang khom leng dang ho sang in jong jana len cheh achansah in ahi.
And he spoke kindly to Jehoiachin and set his throne above the thrones of the other kings who were with him in Babylon.
33 Asohchanna vonho akhelpeh-in, ahinkho lhum keiyin lengpa dokhang ankong anejom jingpeh tan ahi.
So Jehoiachin changed out of his prison clothes, and he dined regularly at the king’s table for the rest of his life.
34 Chule aneh le chah dingin Babylon lengpa athini geijin tanglouvin ape jing tan ahi.
And the king of Babylon provided Jehoiachin a daily portion for the rest of his life, until the day of his death.
