Jeremiah 19
1 BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, cet nateh hlaam ka sak e ni amhru hoi a sak e tuium hah ran haw. Hahoi kacuenaw hoi vaihmanaw thung e kacuenaw hah hrawi nateh,
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 Kanîtholae longkha kung koe Benhinom tanghling koe cet haw, hawvah nang koe ka dei hane lawk hah na pâpho han.
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 Hettelah na dei han, Judah siangpahrangnaw hoi Jerusalem vah, kho kasaknaw BAWIPA e lawk hah thai awh. Isarel Cathut ransahu BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, khenhaw! kathainaw pueng e hnâ dawk khik ka cawt e kathoute hah ka pha sak han.
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 Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimouh ni na pahnawt awh teh, hete hmuen heh a khin sak. Amamouh hoi a napanaw hoi Judah siangpahrangnaw ni hai a thai boihoeh e cathut alouknaw koe hmuitui a sawi awh teh, hete hmuen heh yonnae ka tawn hoeh e thipaling a kawi sak.
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 Hahoi a canaw hah Baal koe hmaisawi thuengnae poe hanelah, Baal hmuenrasang hah a kangdue sak awh. Hot teh kâ ka poe e nahoeh, ka dei boihoeh, ka lungthin dawk hai kâen boihoeh.
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 Hatdawkvah, thaihaw! atueng hah a pha han BAWIPA ni ati. Hatnae hnin nah hete hmuen heh Topheth telah kaw mahoeh toe. Benhinom tanghling tie hai tet hoeh toung vaiteh, kâtheikârawngnae tanghling telah ti han toe.
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 Hete hmuen dawk Judah hoi Jerusalem khokhangnae hah a hrawnghrang lah ka coung sak han. Ahnimouh teh tahloi hoi a hringnae taran kut dawk ka poe vaiteh, a ronaw hah kahlun e tava hoi talî moithangnaw e rawca lah ka poe han.
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 Hahoi hete khopui teh tami kingdi e, panuikhai hanelah ka coung sak vaiteh, a kâhmo e thoebonae kecu dawk, ka cet pueng ni kângairu awh vaiteh a panuikhai awh han.
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 A canu hoi a capanaw e moi hah ka ca sak han. A hringnae ka lawm hane tarannaw ni a kalup awh teh, kângai ka ru lah ao sak torei teh, tami pueng ni a imrinaw e moi hah a ca awh han.
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 Hahoi na hrawi e naw hmaitung vah tuium hah rak hem.
And you shall crush the bottle in the sight of the men who will go with you.
11 Ahnimouh koe hettelah na dei han. Ransahu BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, hlaam kasakkung e hlaam hah tami ni rak a hem teh, pathoup thai lah ao hoeh e patetlah hete taminaw hoi hete kho hah rak ka hem vaiteh, Topheth vah pakawp nahane hmuen ao hoeh totouh a pakawp awh han.
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.
12 Hot patetlah hete hmuen heh ka ti roeroe han telah BAWIPA ni a dei. Hete kho heh Topheth patetlah ka coung sak vaiteh, athung e kho kasaknaw lathueng hai ka sak han.
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 imnaw hoi Judah siangpahrangnaw im hoi im tangkuem e a lathueng vah kalvan lah kangvawi hoi hmuitui sawinae imnaw pueng hoi, cathut alouknaw koe nei hane a awinae imnaw pueng hah, Topheth hmuen patetlah khin sak e lah ao han.
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 Jeremiah teh BAWIPA ni lawk dei hanelah a thanae hmuen Topheth hoi a tho teh, BAWIPA im thongma dawk a kangdue teh, tamimaya koevah hettelah a dei.
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 Isarel Cathut ransahu BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, khenhaw! ka lawk a ngai awh hoeh nahanelah, a lungthin a pata sak awh kecu dawk thoenae kadeinaw pueng hah hete khopui hoi khonaw pueng dawk ka pha sak han telah 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.”
