¹It happened when Jerusalem was taken, (in the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his army against Jerusalem, and besieged it;

¹Huan, Juda lal kum kuana kha sawmna ah Bebulon kumpipa Nebukadnezzar leh a sepaih tengtengin Jerusalem a sual ua, a um uh.

²in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth day of the month, a breach was made in the city),

²Zedekia lal kum sawmlehkhatna kha lina, huai kha ni kuana ah khopi kulh a phu pailet uh.

³that all the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate, Nergal Sharezer, Samgarnebo, Sarsechim, Rabsaris, Nergal Sharezer, Rabmag, with all the rest of the princes of the king of Babylon.

³Huan, hichi ahia, Jerusalem a lak un Babulon kumpipa heutute tengteng a hong lut ua, kongpi laita ah a tu ua, Nergal-sherezer te, Samgar-nebo te, Sarsekim Rab-sari mi nergal-sarezer Rabmag mi leh Babulon kumpipa heutu dang tengtengte toh.

⁴It happened that, when Zedekiah the king of Judah and all the men of war saw them, then they fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the way of the king’s garden, through the gate between the two walls; and he went out toward the Arabah.

⁴Huan, hichi a honghia, Juda kumpipa Zedekia leh galkapmi tengtengin amau a muh un a taikek ua, khopi akipan janin kumpipa huai lampi lamah kulh bang nih kikal kongpi ah a tai khia ua, amah pen Arabah lampi lamah a pawta; himahleh kaldaite sepaih honin amah a delh ua, Jeriko phaizangah Zedekia a pha ua;

⁵But the army of the Chaldeans 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; and he gave judgment on him.

⁵Huan, a mat nung un Babulon kumpipa Nebukadnezzar kiangah, Hamath gama Riblah khua ah a pi ua, huan, aman a tungthu a ngaihtuaha.

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

⁶Huan, Babulon kumpipan Riblah khua ah amah mitmuh ngeiin Zedekia tapate a thata, Babulon kumpipan Juda mi hoihteng leng a that lai hi.

⁷Moreover he put out Zedekiah’s eyes, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon.

⁷Huailou leng Jedekia mit a khelkhiaa, kol a bunsaka, Babulon ah a pita hi.

⁸The Chaldeans burned the king’s house, and the houses of the people, with fire, and broke down the walls of Jerusalem.

⁸Huan, Kaldaiten kumpipa in leh midang in tengteng a hal ua, Jerusalem kulh bangte leng a hihsia uh.

⁹Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive into Babylon the residue of the people who remained in the city, the deserters also who fell away to him, and the residue of the people who remained.

⁹Huan, ngakmi heutu Nebuzaradanin khopia mipi omlaite a kianga amaua kipiate leh mipi om sunte Babulon ah salin a pi a;

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

¹⁰Himahleh ngakmi heutu Nebuzaradanin Juda gam mi genthei bangmah neiloute a nusiaa, grep huan leh loute a pe pah ngal hi.

¹¹Now Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon commanded Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard concerning Jeremiah, saying,

¹¹Huan, Babulon kumpipa Nebukadnezzarin Jeremia tungtang thu a ngakmi Nebuzaradan kiangah,

¹²Take him, and look well to him, and do him no harm; but do to him even as he shall tell you.

¹²Amah pi inla, hoih takin bawl inla, hihna himhim ken, na kianga a gen bangbangin hih jel jawin, chiin thu a pia hi.

¹³So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard sent, and Nebushazban, Rabsaris, and Nergal Sharezer, Rabmag, and all the chief officers of the king of Babylon;

¹³Huan, ngakmi heutu Nebuzaradanin Nebushazban Rab-sari mi Nergal-sharezar Rabmag mi leh Babulon kumpipa sepaih heutu deuhdeuhte a thukhak veka, amau Jeremia ngakmi huang sung akipan a sam khia ua,

¹⁴they sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the guard, and committed him to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, that he should carry him home: so he lived among the people.

¹⁴Shaphan tapa Ahikam tapa Gedali kiangah a ina puak dingin a kemsak ua, huchiin mite lakah a omta hi.

¹⁵Now the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the court of the guard, saying,

¹⁵Huan, ngakmi huangsung a khakkhuma a om laiin, Jeremia kiangah TOUPA thu a hongtunga,

¹⁶Go, and speak to Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, Thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring my words on this city for evil, and not for good; and they shall be accomplished before you in that day.

¹⁶Ethopia mi Ebedmelek kiangah, Sepaihte TOUPA, Israel Pathianin hichinin a chi: Ngaiin, a hoihna ding hi louin, hiai khopi siatna dingin ka thute ka hontun dinga, huai ni mahmahin na maah tangtun sak ahi ding.

¹⁷But I will deliver you in that day, says Yahweh; and you shall not be given into the hand of the men of whom you are afraid.

¹⁷Huai niin nang bel ka honhunkhe ding, chih TOUPA thu pawt ahi, na mi kihtakte khuta piak na hi kei ding.Nang lah ka honhumbit sin ngeia, nam sau in na puk kei dinga, kei na honmuan jiakin, chih TOUPA thu pawt ahi, chiin vagen in, a chi hi.

¹⁸For I will surely save you, and you shall not fall by the sword, but your life shall be for a prey to you; because you have put your trust in me, says Yahweh.

¹⁸Nang lah ka honhumbit sin ngeia, nam sau in na puk kei dinga, kei na honmuan jiakin, chih TOUPA thu pawt ahi, chiin vagen in, a chi hi.
