¹In the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, came Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon and all his army against Jerusalem, and they besieged it.

¹Yô xlaje po re li xbele chihab roquic chokß xreyeb laj Judá laj Sedequías nak quichal laj Nabucodonosor lix reyeb laj Babilonia rochbeneb lix soldados chi pletic riqßuineb laj Jerusalén ut queßxsut rix li tenamit.

²And in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth day of the month, the city was broken up.

²Saß li belêb xbe li xcâ po nak yô junlaju chihab roquic chokß rey laj Sedequías, nak eb laj Babilonia queßxtßan li tzßac li sutsu cuiß Jerusalén.

³And all the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate, even Nergalsharezer, Samgarnebo, Sarsechim, Rabsaris, Nergalsharezer, Rabmag, with all the residue of the princes of the king of Babylon.

³Chixjunileb li nequeßtenkßan re lix reyeb laj Babilonia queßchal ut queßxyîb lix muhebâleb saß li oquebâl re li tenamit li cuan saß xyi. Saß xyânkeb aßan cuanqueb laj Nergal-sarezer, ut laj Samgar-nebo, laj Sarsequim li nim xcuanquil saß li rakleb âtin ut laj Nergal-sarezer jun chic, li nim xcuanquil. Ut cuanqueb ajcuiß chixjunileb li nequeßtenkßan re lix reyeb laj Babilonia.

⁴And it came to pass, that when Zedekiah the king of Judah saw them, and all the men of war, then they fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the way of the king's garden, by the gate betwixt the two walls: and he went out the way of the plain.

⁴Nak laj Sedequías lix reyeb laj Judá ut eb lix soldados queßrileb lix soldados li xicß nequeßiloc reheb, queßêlelic chiruheb. Chiru kßojyîn queßel saß xnaßaj li racuîmk li rey saß li oquebâl li cuan saß xyi li cuib chi tzßac ut queßcôeb saß li be li naxic Arabá.

⁵But the Chaldeans' army pursued after them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho: and when they had taken him, they brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he gave judgment upon him.

⁵Abanan eb lix soldado laj Babilonia queßxtâkeheb toj retal coxeßxtauheb saß li ru takßa li cuan nachß riqßuin li tenamit Jericó. Queßxchap laj Sedequías ut queßxcßam riqßuin laj Nabucodonosor lix reyeb laj Babilonia saß li tenamit Ribla saß li naßajej Hamat. Ut aran queßxrak âtin saß xbên.

⁶Then the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes: also the king of Babylon slew all the nobles of Judah.

⁶Ut lix reyeb laj Babilonia quixcamsi li ralal laj Sedequías. Laj Sedequías yô chi rilbal nak queßcamsîc. Ut queßcamsîc ajcuiß eb li cuanqueb xcuanquil aran Judá.

⁷Moreover he put out Zedekiah's eyes, and bound him with chains, to carry him to Babylon.

⁷Chirix aßan queßrisi li xnakß ru laj Sedequías ut queßxbacß riqßuin cadena re teßxcßam Babilonia.

⁸And the Chaldeans burned the king's house, and the houses of the people, with fire, and brake down the walls of Jerusalem.

⁸Ut eb laj Babilonia queßxcßat li rochoch li rey joß eb ajcuiß li rochocheb li tenamit. Ut queßxjucß chixjunil li tzßac li sutsu cuiß Jerusalén.

⁹Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive into Babylon the remnant of the people that remained in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to him, with the rest of the people that remained.

⁹Tojoßnak laj Nabuzaradán li nataklan saß xbêneb chixjunileb li soldado, quixchapeb ut quixcßameb chi prêxil aran Babilonia chixjunileb li cristian li queßcana saß li tenamit. Ut quixcßameb ajcuiß li queßxkßaxtesi ribeb rubeleb xcuanquil.

¹⁰But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poor of the people, which had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time.

¹⁰Abanan, laj Nabuzaradán, li nataklan, quixcanab saß li naßajej Judá eb li nebaß, li mâcßaß cuan reheb. Ut quixqßue reheb lix chßochßeb ut li racuîmkeb uvas.

¹¹Now Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon gave charge concerning Jeremiah to Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, saying,

¹¹Li rey Nabucodonosor quixye re laj Nabuzaradán cßaßru tixbânu riqßuin laj Jeremías. Quixye re:

¹²Take him, and look well to him, and do him no harm; but do unto him even as he shall say unto thee.

¹²—Cßam li profeta Jeremías ut tâcuil chi us. Mâbânu raylal re. Bânu ban li cßaßru naxye âcue, chan.

¹³So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard sent, and Nebushasban, Rabsaris, and Nergalsharezer, Rabmag, and all the king of Babylon's princes;

¹³Joßcan nak laj Nabuzaradán quixcßam chirix laj Nabusazbán ut laj Nergal-sarezer, li nînkeb xcuanquil saß li rakleb âtin. Ut quixcßameb ajcuiß chixjunileb li nequeßtenkßan re lix reyeb laj Babilonia.

¹⁴Even they sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the prison, and committed him unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, that he should carry him home: so he dwelt among the people.

¹⁴Queßxtakla risinquil laj Jeremías saß li nebâl re li tzßalam ut queßxkßaxtesi saß rukß laj Gedalías li ralal laj Ahicam ut ri laj Safán, re tixcßam saß rochoch. Joßcan nak laj Jeremías quicana saß lix tenamit.

¹⁵Now the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the court of the prison, saying,

¹⁵Nak laj Jeremías toj cuan chi prêxil saß li nebâl re li tzßalam li Kâcuaß quiâtinac riqßuin ut quixye re:

¹⁶Go and speak to Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring my words upon this city for evil, and not for good; and they shall be accomplished in that day before thee.

¹⁶—Tatxic riqßuin laj Ebed-melec laj Etiopía ut tâye re nak li Kâcuaß li nimajcual Dios, lix Dioseb laj Israel, naxye chi joßcaßin: Lâin tinbânu re li tenamit aßin li cßaßru quinye. Raylal tinqßue saß xbên. Mâcuaß usilal. Ut lâat tâcuil nak tâcßulmânk aßin.

¹⁷But I will deliver thee in that day, saith the LORD: and thou shalt not be given into the hand of the men of whom thou art afraid.

¹⁷Abanan lâin tincolok âcue saß li cutan aßan, chan li Kâcuaß. Lâat incßaß tatkßaxtesîk saß rukßeb li tenamit li nacaxucua ruheb.Lâin tincolok âcue re nak incßaß tatcamsîk saß li plêt. Lâat tatcanâk chi yoßyo xban nak cacßojob âchßôl cuiqßuin, chan li Kâcuaß.

¹⁸For I will surely deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be for a prey unto thee: because thou hast put thy trust in me, saith the LORD.

¹⁸Lâin tincolok âcue re nak incßaß tatcamsîk saß li plêt. Lâat tatcanâk chi yoßyo xban nak cacßojob âchßôl cuiqßuin, chan li Kâcuaß.
