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.
Yahweh said this, “Go and purchase a potter's clay flask while you are with the elders of the people and the priests.
2 Kolrhawk kah vongka thohka la paan lamtah nang taengah kan thui ol he ambohhmuen, ambohhmuen ah doek laeh.
Then go out to the Valley of Ben Hinnom at the entry of the Broken Pottery Gate, and there proclaim the words that I will tell you.
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.
Say, 'Hear the word of Yahweh, kings of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem! Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this, “See, I am about to bring disaster on this place, and the ears of everyone who hears of it will 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.
I will do this because they have abandoned me and profaned this place. In this place they offer sacrifices to other gods that they did not know. They, their ancestors, and the kings of Judah have also filled this place with innocent blood.
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.
They built the high places of Baal to burn their sons in the fire as burnt offerings to him—something that I did not command or mention, nor did it enter 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, see, the days are coming—this is Yahweh's declaration—when this place will no longer be called Topheth, the Valley of Ben Hinnom, for it will be 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.
In this place I will make the plans of Judah and Jerusalem useless. I will make them to fall by the sword before their enemies and by the hand of the ones seeking their lives. Then I will give their corpses as food to the birds of the heavens and 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.
Then I will make this city a ruin and the object of hissing, for everyone passing by it will shudder and hiss regarding all of its plagues.
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.
I will make them eat the flesh of their sons and daughters; each man will consume the flesh of his neighbor in the siege and in the anguish brought on them by their enemies and the ones seeking their lives.”'
10 Te vaengah na taengkah aka cet hlang rhoek mikhmuh ah tuitang te dae pah.
Then you will break the clay flask in the sight of the men who went with you.
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.
You will say to them, 'Yahweh of hosts says this: I will do this same thing to this people and this city—this is Yahweh's declaration—just as Jeremiah shattered the clay flask so that it could not be repaired again. People will bury the dead in Topheth until there is no place left for any more dead.
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.
This is what I will do to this place and its inhabitants when I make this city like Topheth—this is Yahweh's declaration—
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.
so the houses of Jerusalem and of the kings of Judah will become like Topheth—all the houses on whose rooftops the unclean people worship all the stars of the heavens and pour 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 went from Topheth, where Yahweh had sent him to prophesy. He stood in the courtyard of Yahweh's house and he 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.
“Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this, 'See, I am about to bring to this city and to all of its towns all the disaster that I have proclaimed against it, since they stiffened their neck and refused to listen to my words.'”
