Jeremiah 19
1 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,
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.
2 and go out to the Valley of Ben-hinnom near the entrance of the Potsherd Gate. Proclaim there the words I speak to you,
Kolrhawk kah vongka thohka la paan lamtah nang taengah kan thui ol he ambohhmuen, ambohhmuen ah doek laeh.
3 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,
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.
4 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.
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.
5 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.
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.
6 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.
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.
7 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.
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.
8 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.
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.
9 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.’
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.
10 Then you are to shatter the jar in the presence of the men who accompany you,
Te vaengah na taengkah aka cet hlang rhoek mikhmuh ah tuitang te dae pah.
11 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.
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.
12 This is what I will do to this place and to its residents, declares the LORD. I will make this city like Topheth.
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.
13 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.”
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.
14 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,
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.
15 “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.’”
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.
