Berean Standard Bible
1Zedekiah siangpahrang ah ohhaih saning takawtto, khrah hato haih, ni hato naah, Babylon siangpahrang Nebuchadnezzar loe, Jerusalem tuk hanah, angmah ih misatuh kaminawk boih hoiah caeh moe, ohhaih ahmuen to sak o; vangpui kangkui ah misa abuephaih longkhaw to takaeh o.
1So 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.
2Zedekiah siangpahrang ah ohhaih saning hatlai karoek to vangpui to takui o.
2And the city was kept under siege until King Zedekiah’s eleventh year.
3Khrah palito haih, ni takawtto naah loe, vangpui thungah khokhaahaih to phak; prae thung kaom kaminawk caak hanah buh roe om ai boeh.
3By the ninth day of the fourth month, the famine in the city was so severe that the people of the land had no food.
4Khaldea kaminawk mah sipae to phraek o moe, vangpui to takui o pongah, vangpui thung ih misatuh kaminawk loe siangpahrang takha taeng ih sipae hnetto salak hoiah aqum ah cawnh o boih; siangpahrang loe tangtling azawn ah caeh.
4Then the city was breached; and though the Chaldeans had surrounded the city, all the men of war fled by night by way of the gate between the two walls near the king’s garden. They headed toward the Arabah,
5Toe Khaldea misatuh kaminawk mah anih to patom o moe, Jeriko azawn ah kae o; anih ih misatuh kaminawk loe anghmat o phang.
5but the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king and overtook him in the plains of Jericho, and all his army was separated from him.
6Siangpahrang to naeh o moe, Babylon siangpahrang khaeah Riblah ah caeh o haih; to ah anih nuiah lok takroekhaih to sak o.
6The Chaldeans seized the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah, where they pronounced judgment on him.
7Nihcae mah Zedekiah angmah mikhnukah a capanawk to hum pae o; Zedekiah ih mik to taprok pae o dok pacoengah, sumkamling qui hoiah pathlet o moe, anih to Babylon ah caeh o haih.
7And they slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes. Then they put out his eyes, bound him with bronze shackles, and took him to Babylon.
8Babylon siangpahrang Nebuchadnezzar, siangpahrang ah ohhaih saning hatlaitakawtto, khrah pangato haih, ni sarihto naah, Babylon siangpahrang ih tamna, misatuh angraeng, Nebuzaradan loe Jerusalam ah angzoh.
8On the seventh 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.
9Anih mah Angraeng ih im, siangpahrang im, Jerusalem ih angraeng im hoi kamtang kaminawk ih imnawk to hmai hoiah thlaek pae boih.
9He burned down the house of the LORD, the royal palace, and all the houses of Jerusalem—every significant building.
10Misatuh angraeng hoi nawnto kaom, Khaldea misatuh kaminawk boih mah, Jerusalem sipae to phraek o.
10And the whole army of the Chaldeans under the captain of the guard broke down the walls around Jerusalem.
11Misatuh kaminawk ukkung Nebuzaradan mah vangpui thungah kanghmat kaminawk, Babylon siangpahrang khae caeh kaminawk hoi kanghmat kalah kaminawk to naeh boih.
11Then Nebuzaradan captain of the guard carried into exile the people who remained in the city, along with the deserters who had defected to the king of Babylon and the rest of the population.
12Toe lawkphrawk kami hoi misur takha sak han kaom kamtang kaminawk loe a caehtaak.
12But the captain of the guard left behind some of the poorest of the land to tend the vineyards and fields.
13Babylon kaminawk mah Angraeng imthung ih sumkamling hoiah sak ih tungnawk, tui amthlukhaih okduknawk hoi sumkamling hoiah sak ih tuilinawk to phraek o king; sumkamling loe Babylon ah sinh o.
13Moreover, the Chaldeans broke up the bronze pillars and stands and the bronze Sea in the house of the LORD, and they carried the bronze to Babylon.
14Laomnawk, long sohhaihnawk, taitaehnawk, kathlahnawk hoi nihcae toksakhaih sumkamling hoiah sak ih laom sabaenawk to a lak o.
14They also took away the pots, shovels, wick trimmers, dishes, and all the articles of bronze used in the temple service.
15Sui, phoisa hoiah sak ih laom sabaenawk loe misatuh angraeng mah lak.
15The captain of the guard also took away the censers and sprinkling bowls—anything made of pure gold or fine silver.
16Solomon mah Angraeng im hanah sak ih, tung hnetto, tuili, sumkamling hoiah sak ih akhok kaom caboi loe tah laek ai ah pop.
16As for the two pillars, the Sea, and the movable stands that Solomon had made for the house of the LORD, the weight of the bronze from all these articles was beyond measure.
17Tung loe dong hatlaitazetto sawk; tung nuiah kaom sumkamling hoiah sak ih tung ranuih loe dong thumto sang; to tung ranui ah loe sumkamling hoiah sak ih apawk bungmu hoi pomogranat thingthai krang to oh; hnetto haih tung doeh to tiah soi ih apawk bungmu krang to oh.
17Each pillar was eighteen cubits tall. The bronze capital atop one pillar was three cubits high, with a network of bronze pomegranates all around. The second pillar, with its network, was similar.
18Misatuh angraeng mah kalen koek qaima Seraiah, hnetto haih qaima Zephaniah hoi khongkha toep kami thumto naeh.
18The captain of the guard also took away Seraiah the chief priest, Zephaniah the priest of second rank, and the three doorkeepers.
19Misatuh zaehoikung maeto, vangpui thung ih siangpahrang poekhaih paekkung pangato, prae kami thapaek kami hoi ca tarik misatuh maeto, vangpui thungah hnuk o ih kami quitarukto doeh naeh moe, a caeh haih.
19Of those still in the city, he took a court official who had been appointed over the men of war, as well as five royal advisors. 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.
20Rakap angraeng Nebuzaradan mah to kaminawk to naeh pacoengah, Babylon siangpahrang khaeah, Riblah ah caeh haih;
20Nebuzaradan captain of the guard took them and brought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.
21Babylon siangpahrang mah Hammath prae Riblah vangpui ah nihcae to hum. To pongah Judah kaminawk loe angmacae prae thung hoiah misong ah caeh o haih ving boeh.
21There 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.
22Babylon siangpahrang Nebuchadnezzar mah, Shaphan capa Ahikam, Ahikam capa Gedaliah to, Judah prae ah caehtaak ih kaminawk ukkung ah suek.
22Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon appointed Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, over the people he had left behind in the land of Judah.
23Babylon siangpahrang mah Gedaliah to prae ukkung angraeng ah suek boeh, tiah misatuh angraengnawk boih hoi kaminawk mah thaih o naah, Nathaniah capa Ishmael, Kareah capa Johanan, Natophat acaeng Tanhumeth capa Seraiah, Maakah kami ih capa Jaazaniah hoi angmah ih kaminawk loe Mizpah ah Gedaliah khaeah caeh o.
23When all the commanders of the armies and their men heard that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedaliah as governor, they came to Gedaliah at Mizpah—Ishmael son of Nethaniah, Johanan son of Kareah, Seraiah son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah son of the Maacathite, as well as their men.
24Gedaliah mah angmah ih kaminawk hoi to ah kaom kaminawk khaeah lokkamhaih to sak; anih mah Babylon angraeng ih tamna ah oh han zii o hmah; prae thungah om oh loe, Babylon siangpahrang ih tok to sah pae oh, to tiah nahaeloe khosak na hoih o tih, tiah a naa.
24And Gedaliah took an oath before them and their men, assuring them, “Do not be afraid of the servants of the Chaldeans. Live in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and it will be well with you.”
25Toe khrah sarihto naah, siangpahrang acaeng thung ih, Elishama capa Nethaniah, Nethaniah capa Ishmael loe, angmah ih kami hatonawk hoi nawnto angzoh moe, Gedeliah to takroek moe, Gedeliah loe duek; Mizpah ah anih hoi nawnto kaom Judah kaminawk hoi Babylon kaminawk doeh hum o.
25In the seventh month, however, Ishmael son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, who was a member of the royal family, came with ten men and struck down and killed Gedaliah, along with the Judeans and Chaldeans who were with him at Mizpah.
26Nihcae mah khaldea kaminawk to zit o pongah, kathoeng kalen kaminawk boih, misatuh angraengnawk loe angthawk o moe, Izip prae ah cawnh o boih.
26Then all the people small and great, together with the commanders of the army, arose and fled to Egypt for fear of the Chaldeans.
27Judah siangpahrang Jehoiachin misong angtanghaih saning quithum, sarihto, khrah hatlaihnetto haih, ni pumphae sarihto naah, Babylon siangpahrang Evil-Merodak siangpahrang ah oh amtong tangsuek; anih mah Jehoiachin to thongim thung hoiah tacawtsak.
27On the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth month of the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Judah’s King Jehoiachin, in the year Evil-merodach became king of Babylon, he released King Jehoiachin of Judah from prison.
28Anih khaeah tahmenhaih palung hoiah lok a thuih pae moe, Babylon ah angmah khaeah kaom kalah siangpahrangnawk boih pong kasang kueah angraeng tangkhang nuiah anghnuthaih ahmuen to paek.
28And he spoke kindly to Jehoiachin and set his throne above the thrones of the other kings who were with him in Babylon.
29Jehoiachin loe thongkrakhaih kahni to angkhring moe, a hing thung siangpahrang ih caboi pongah buh to caak.
29So Jehoiachin changed out of his prison clothes, and he dined regularly at the king’s table for the rest of his life.
30Siangpahrang mah, Jehoiachin hanah a hing thung, ni thokkruek patoh hanah hmuennaenawk to paek.
30And the king provided Jehoiachin a daily portion for the rest of his life.
