2 Kings 25
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
1And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it; and they built forts against it round about.
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.
2So the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
2Zedekiah siangpahrang ah ohhaih saning hatlai karoek to vangpui to takui o.
3On the ninth day of the fourth month the famine was sore in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.
3Khrah palito haih, ni takawtto naah loe, vangpui thungah khokhaahaih to phak; prae thung kaom kaminawk caak hanah buh roe om ai boeh.
4Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king's garden — now the Chaldeans were against the city round about — and the king went by the way of the Arabah.
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.
5But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.
5Toe Khaldea misatuh kaminawk mah anih to patom o moe, Jeriko azawn ah kae o; anih ih misatuh kaminawk loe anghmat o phang.
6Then they took the king, and carried him up unto the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they gave judgment upon him.
6Siangpahrang to naeh o moe, Babylon siangpahrang khaeah Riblah ah caeh o haih; to ah anih nuiah lok takroekhaih to sak o.
7And they slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him in fetters, and carried him to Babylon.
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.
8Now in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem.
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.
9And he burnt the house of the LORD, and the king's house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great man's house, burnt he with fire.
9Anih mah Angraeng ih im, siangpahrang im, Jerusalem ih angraeng im hoi kamtang kaminawk ih imnawk to hmai hoiah thlaek pae boih.
10And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were with the captain of the guard, broke down the walls of Jerusalem round about.
10Misatuh angraeng hoi nawnto kaom, Khaldea misatuh kaminawk boih mah, Jerusalem sipae to phraek o.
11And the residue of the people that were left in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to the king of Babylon, and the residue of the multitude, did Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carry away captive.
11Misatuh kaminawk ukkung Nebuzaradan mah vangpui thungah kanghmat kaminawk, Babylon siangpahrang khae caeh kaminawk hoi kanghmat kalah kaminawk to naeh boih.
12But the captain of the guard left of the poorest of the land to be vinedressers and husbandmen.
12Toe lawkphrawk kami hoi misur takha sak han kaom kamtang kaminawk loe a caehtaak.
13And the pillars of brass that were in the house of the LORD, and the bases and the brazen sea that were in the house of the LORD, did the Chaldeans break in pieces, and carried the brass of them to Babylon.
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.
14And the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the pans, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they away.
14Laomnawk, long sohhaihnawk, taitaehnawk, kathlahnawk hoi nihcae toksakhaih sumkamling hoiah sak ih laom sabaenawk to a lak o.
15And the fire-pans, and the basins, that which was of gold, in gold, and that which was of silver, in silver, the captain of the guard took away.
15Sui, phoisa hoiah sak ih laom sabaenawk loe misatuh angraeng mah lak.
16The two pillars, the one sea, and the bases, which Solomon had made for the house of the LORD; the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
16Solomon mah Angraeng im hanah sak ih, tung hnetto, tuili, sumkamling hoiah sak ih akhok kaom caboi loe tah laek ai ah pop.
17The height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, and a capital of brass was upon it; and the height of the capital was three cubits; with network and pomegranates upon the capital round about, all of brass; and like unto these had the second pillar with network.
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.
18And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door;
18Misatuh angraeng mah kalen koek qaima Seraiah, hnetto haih qaima Zephaniah hoi khongkha toep kami thumto naeh.
19and out of the city he took an officer that was set over the men of war; and five men of them that saw the king's face, who were found in the city; and the scribe of the captain of the host, who mustered the people of the land; and threescore men of the people of the land, that were found in the city.
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.
20And Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.
20Rakap angraeng Nebuzaradan mah to kaminawk to naeh pacoengah, Babylon siangpahrang khaeah, Riblah ah caeh haih;
21And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away captive out of his land.
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.
22And as for the people that were left in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, even over them he made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, governor.
22Babylon siangpahrang Nebuchadnezzar mah, Shaphan capa Ahikam, Ahikam capa Gedaliah to, Judah prae ah caehtaak ih kaminawk ukkung ah suek.
23Now when all the captains of the forces, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite and Jaazaniah the son of the Maacathite, they and their men.
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.
24And Gedaliah swore to them and to their men, and said unto them: 'Fear not because of the servants of the Chaldeans; dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.'
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.
25But it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, came, and ten men with him, and smote Gedaliah, that he died, and the Jews and the Chaldeans that were with him at Mizpah.
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.
26And all the people, both small and great, and the captains of the forces, arose, and came to Egypt; for they were afraid of the Chaldeans.
26Nihcae mah khaldea kaminawk to zit o pongah, kathoeng kalen kaminawk boih, misatuh angraengnawk loe angthawk o moe, Izip prae ah cawnh o boih.
27And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, that Evil-merodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, did lift up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison.
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.
28And he spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon.
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.
29And he changed his prison garments, and did eat bread before him continually all the days of his life.
29Jehoiachin loe thongkrakhaih kahni to angkhring moe, a hing thung siangpahrang ih caboi pongah buh to caak.
30And for his allowance, there was a continual allowance given him of the king, every day a portion, all the days of his life.
30Siangpahrang mah, Jehoiachin hanah a hing thung, ni thokkruek patoh hanah hmuennaenawk to paek.
