Jeremiah 19
1 Pakaiyin kajah’a hitin aseiye, “Chenlang, leibel khat gachotan, chule mipi lah’a lamkai phabep leh thempu phabep kouvin, amaho chutoh kilhon inlang,
This is what the LORD says: “Go and buy a clay jar from a potter. Take some of the elders of the people and leaders of the priests,
2 bel dengho kelkot a chun gapotdoh in, Ben-hinnom phai geiyin cheuvin, chule amaho jah’a chun kathusei hohi seipeh in.
and go out to the Valley of Ben-hinnom near the entrance of the Potsherd Gate. Proclaim there the words I speak to you,
3 “Pakai thusei hohi phaten ngaiyuvin, Vo Judah lengte leh Jerusalem mite. Pakai, Israel Pathen chun aseiye; Hiche mun’a hi tijat umtah hamsetna kalhunsah ding, ajapha chan tija behseh diu ahi.
saying, ‘Hear the word of the LORD, O kings of Judah and residents of Jerusalem. This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: I am going to bring such disaster on this place that the ears of all who hear of it will ring,
4 Ajeh iham itile, Israel in keima eidalhan, hiche mun hi kidah um leh chonset dimset mun ahisahtauve. Amahon tumasanga anahet khah louvu, apu apateuvin jong ahetlou, chule Judah lengten jong ahetlouvu, gamdang ho pathen lim semthu ho, hounan gim namtwi ahal uvin, hilaimun hi mona bei miho thisan kisonamun ahitai.
because they have abandoned Me and made this a foreign place. They have burned incense in this place to other gods that neither they nor their fathers nor the kings of Judah have ever known. They have filled this place with the blood of the innocent.
5 Amahon Baal maicham asemdoh un, achapateu meiya govam’a kilhaina neidin, Baal maicham asem uve. Keiman vang hitobang bolna din thupeh kanei khapon chule kalunga jong kagel khapoi.
They have built high places to Baal on which to burn their children in the fire as offerings to Baal—something I never commanded or mentioned, nor did it even enter My mind.
6 Hijeh chun ngaiphauvin, hiche mun hi Topheth ahiloule Ben-hinnom phai kitita louva, kithana phai tia kihet nading nikho chu ahunglhung e, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
So behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when this place will no longer be called Topheth or the Valley of Ben-hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter.
7 Ajeh chu keiman hilaimun’a hi, Judah leh Jerusalem mite thilgon ho abon’a kasuh cheh ding, amaho chu amelmateu chemjam’a kalousah soh keidiu ahi. Chule athilong u chu vachate leh gamsate vahna-a kanei ding ahi.
And in this place I will ruin the plans of Judah and Jerusalem. I will make them fall by the sword before their enemies, by the hands of those who seek their lives, and I will give their carcasses as food to the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth.
8 keiman Jerusalem khopi hi kasuhchim’a, khogem’a kaumsah ding, koi hileh ajotpa jousen kidang asahdiu, tijalih leudiu ahi.
I will make this city a desolation and an object of scorn. All who pass by will be appalled and will scoff at all her wounds.
9 Namelmateu vin Jerusalem alonkhum ding, neh leh chah abeisoh kahsea aumkim diu, genthei nasatah athohdiu ahi. Achaina le, mihon nehding aholmo uva, amaho le amaho kineto diu chule achateu geiya akithauva anehdiu ahi, ati.
I will make them eat the flesh of their sons and daughters, and they will eat one another’s flesh in the siege and distress inflicted on them by their enemies who seek their lives.’
10 Chutah le nangman nalhonpiho mitmu changtah’a chu, nabel choh chu, navoh kehding,
Then you are to shatter the jar in the presence of the men who accompany you,
11 Chule ajah uva nasei ding, thaneipen Pakaiyin hitin aseiye: Keiman hiche leibel kivoh keh banga hi, Judah le Jerusalem mi, t kavohjal ding, avel’a sempha kit theilou hel hiding ahi. Amahon mithi ho chu Topheth mungeiya ahinven diu, ajeh chu mundang a kivuina chu kabol ding ahi, ati.
and you are to proclaim to them that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: I will shatter this nation and this city, like one shatters a potter’s jar that can never again be repaired. They will bury the dead in Topheth until there is no more room to bury them.
This is what I will do to this place and to its residents, declares the LORD. I will make this city like Topheth.
13 Jerusalem a inho leh Judah lengte inpiho jouse, chule inchungvum’a ahsie nahounauva gim namtwi nahalnau, chule dontheiya kilhaina thilto kisunkhum doilim pathen ho nahounau, abon’a chu Topheth mun banga bohsoh hel ahitauve,’’ ati.
The houses of Jerusalem and the houses of the kings of Judah will be defiled like that place, Topheth—all the houses on whose rooftops they burned incense to all the host of heaven and poured out drink offerings to other gods.”
14 Hichun Jeremiah chu, Pakaiyin athu phongjal dinga asolna Topheth mun chu adalhan akile kittai. Chuin ama houin ah alut in, mipite jah’a thu aseitai.
Then Jeremiah returned from Topheth, where the LORD had sent him to prophesy, and he stood in the courtyard of the house of the LORD and proclaimed to all the people,
15 Ngaiyun, thaneipen Pakai, Israel Pathen chun hitin aseye: Keiman hiche khopi leh avel a khoneo ho jouse douna kana phondohsa banga, hamsetna nasatah achunguva kalhunsah ding ahi. Ajeh chu, nanghon nangong navaiput leuvin, kathusei donlouvin nakoi uve, ati.
“This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘Behold, I am about to bring on this city and on all the villages around it every disaster I have pronounced against them, because they have stiffened their necks so as not to heed My words.’”
