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,
Thus says the Lord: “Go, and take a potter’s earthen bottle from the elders of the people and from the elders 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 the son of Hinnom, which is near the entrance to the earthen gate, and there you shall proclaim the words that I will 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.
And you shall say: Listen to the word of the Lord, O kings of Judah, and you inhabitants of Jerusalem. Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will lead an affliction over this place, so much so that it will ring in the ears of all who hear about it.
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.
For they have abandoned me, and they have made this place foreign, and they have offered libations in it to foreign gods, whom neither they, nor their fathers, nor the kings of Judah have known. And 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.
And they have built the exalted places of Baal, in order to burn their children with fire as a holocaust to Baal, something that I did not instruct or speak of, nor did it enter into my heart.
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.
Because of this, behold, the days are approaching, says the Lord, when this place will no longer be called Topheth, or the valley of the son of 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 I will scatter the counsel of Judah and of Jerusalem in this place. And I will overthrow them with the sword, in the sight of their enemies and by the hand of those who seek their lives. And I will give their carcasses to the birds of the air and to the beasts of the land as food.
8 keiman Jerusalem khopi hi kasuhchim’a, khogem’a kaumsah ding, koi hileh ajotpa jousen kidang asahdiu, tijalih leudiu ahi.
And I will set this city amid stupor and hissing. Everyone who passes by it will be stupefied, and they will hiss over all its 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.
And I will feed them with the flesh of their sons and with the flesh of their daughters. And each one of them will eat the flesh of his friend during the blockade and the embargo by which their enemies, and those who seek their lives, will enclose them.
10 Chutah le nangman nalhonpiho mitmu changtah’a chu, nabel choh chu, navoh kehding,
And you shall crush the bottle in the sight of the men who will go with 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 shall say to them: Thus says the Lord of hosts: In the same way, I will crush this people and this city, just as the potter’s vessel was crushed and cannot be made whole again. And they will be buried at Topheth, because there will be no other place for burial.
So will I do to this place and to its inhabitants, says the Lord. And I will make this city to be 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.
And the houses of Jerusalem and the houses of the kings of Judah will be unclean, just like the place of Topheth: all the houses on whose roofs they sacrificed to all the armies of heaven and poured out libations to strange 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 arrived from Topheth, where the Lord had sent him to prophesy, and he stood in the atrium of the house of the Lord, and he said 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.
“Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will lead over this community, and over all its cities, all the evils that I have spoken against it. For they have hardened their necks, so that they would not heed my words.”
