Jeremiah 19
1 BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Cet lamtah amsai kah tuitang paikaek ke lai laeh. Te phoeiah pilnam patong rhoek taeng lamloh, khosoih patong rhoek taeng lamloh khuen phai.
Thus said Jehovah: Go, and buy a potter's earthen bottle, and take of the elders of the people, and of the elders of the priests,
2 Kolrhawk kah vongka thohka la paan lamtah nang taengah kan thui ol he ambohhmuen, ambohhmuen ah doek laeh.
and go forth to the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the gate Harsith, and proclaim there the words that I shall tell thee.
3 Te vaengah, “Judah manghai rhoek neh Jerusalem khosa rhoek aw, BOEIPA ol he hnatun uh,” ti nah. Israel Pathen caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. He hmuen ah kai loh yoethae kang khuen coeng he. Te te aka ya boeih tah a hna umya uh bitni.
And say, Hear ye the word of Jehovah, O kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem. Thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, which whoever hears, his ears shall tingle.
4 He hmuen ah kai n'hnoo uh vaengah mah loha uh coeng. Te dongah a napa rhoek neh amamih long khaw, Judah manghai rhoek long khaw a ming pawh pathen tloe rhoek taengah hmueih a phum uh. Te dongah he hmuen he ommongsitoe thii neh a cung sakuh.
Because they have forsaken me, and have estranged this place, and have burned incense in it to other gods that they knew not, they and their fathers and the kings of Judah, and have filled this place with the blood of innocents,
5 A ca rhoek te Baal taengah hmueihhlutnah hmai neh hoeh ham Baal kah hmuensang te a thoh uh. Te tlam te ka uen pawt tih ka thui bal moenih. Te dongah ka ko a paan moenih.
and have built the high places of Baal, to burn their sons in the fire for burnt offerings to Baal, which I commanded not, nor spoke it, neither did it come into my mind.
6 Te dongah BOEIPA kah olphong hnin ha pawk coeng ke. Te vaengah he hmuen he Topheth kolrhawk ti voel pawt vetih ngawnnah kolrhawk lat a ti ni.
Therefore, behold, the days come, says Jehovah, that this place shall no more be called Topheth, nor the valley of the son of Hinnom, but the valley of Slaughter.
7 Judah neh he Jerusalem hmuen kah cilsuep te ka hlap pah vetih a thunkha mikhmuh kah cunghang neh a hinglu aka toem rhoek kut dongah ka cungku sak ni. Te vaengah a rhok te vaan kah vaa taeng neh diklai rhamsa taengah maeh la ka paek ni.
And I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place. And I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hand of those who seek their life. And I will give their dead bodies to be food for the birds of the heavens, and for the beasts of the earth.
8 He khopuei he imsuep la, te long aka pah boeih kah a thuithetnah la ka khueh ni. A hmasoe cungkuem soah hal vetih kut a khong ni.
And I will make this city an astonishment, and a hissing. Everyone who passes by it shall be astonished and hiss because of all the plagues of it.
9 A capa saa neh a canu rhoek saa te amamih ka cah ni. Hlang loh a hui kah a saa vongup khuiah a caak ni. Amih te a thunkha rhoek neh a hinglu aka tlap rhoek loh a caeknah ah a kilh ni.
And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters. And they shall eat each one the flesh of his friend, in the siege and in the distress with which their enemies, and those who seek their life, shall distress them.
10 Te vaengah na taengkah aka cet hlang rhoek mikhmuh ah tuitang te dae pah.
Then thou shall break the bottle in the sight of the men who go with thee,
11 Te phoeiah amih te, “Caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui,” ti nah. Amsai kah umam a dae bangla he pilnam neh he khopuei he ka dae van ni. Te vaengah koep ben ham coeng pawt vetih up ham hmuen om pawt hil Topheth ah a up uh bitni.
and shall say to them, Thus says Jehovah of hosts: Even so I will break this people and this city, as a potter's vessel is broken, that cannot be made whole again. And they shall bury in Topheth till there be no place to bury.
12 He hmuen taengah ka saii tangloeng ni. A khuikah khosa taeng neh he khopuei he Topheth bangla saii ham he BOEIPA kah olphong coeng ni.
Thus I will do to this place, says Jehovah, and to the inhabitants of it, even making this city as Topheth.
13 Jerusalem kah im rhoek neh Judah manghai imkhui khaw, im cungkuem taengah rhalawt la aka om Topheth hmuen bangla om ni. A imphu ah vaan caempuei cungkuem ham a phum uh tih pathen tloe rhoek taengah tuisi a doeng uh.
And the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, which are defiled, shall be as the place of Topheth, even all the houses upon whose roofs they have burned incense to all the host of heaven, and have poured out drink offerings to other gods.
14 Te phoeiah tah Jeremiah khaw Topheth lamloh mael. Te ah te tonghma sak ham ni BOEIPA loh anih te a tueih. BOEIPA im kah vongtung ah pai tih pilnam boeih taengah a thui.
Then Jeremiah came from Topheth, where Jehovah had sent him to prophesy, and he stood in the court of Jehovah's house, and said to all the people,
15 He tah Israel Pathen caempuei BOEIPA long ni a thui. Kamah loh he khopuei so neh a khopuei boeih soah yoethae cungkuem te ka khuen rhoe ka khuen pah coeng he. Te te a taengah ka thui pah lalah khaw a rhawn a mangkhak sak uh tih ka ol he hnatun uh pawh.
Thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon all its towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it, because they have made their neck stiff, that they may not hear my words.
