< Jeremiah 19 >

1 Thus said Yahweh, Go and buy a potter’s earthen bottle, —and take of the elders of the people, and of the elders of the priests;
Pakaiyin kajah’a hitin aseiye, “Chenlang, leibel khat gachotan, chule mipi lah’a lamkai phabep leh thempu phabep kouvin, amaho chutoh kilhon inlang,
2 Then shalt thou go forth into the valley of Ben-hinnom, which is at the opening of the gate of potsherds; and proclaim there the words which I shall speak unto thee;
bel dengho kelkot a chun gapotdoh in, Ben-hinnom phai geiyin cheuvin, chule amaho jah’a chun kathusei hohi seipeh in.
3 and shalt say, —Hear ye the word of Yahweh, O kings of Judah And inhabitants of Jerusalem, —Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts—God of Israel Behold me! bringing in calamity upon this place, which shall cause the ears of every one that heareth it, to tingle:
“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.
4 Because they have forsaken me, And have treated this as a foreign place, And have burned incense therein to other gods, which neither they, nor their fathers nor the kings of Judah, have known; And have filled this place with the blood of innocents;
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.
5 And have built the high places of Baal for burning up their sons in the fire as ascending-sacrifices to Baal, —Which I commanded not, Nor spake, Neither came it up on my heart,
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.
6 Therefore, lo! days coming, Declareth Yahweh, When this place shall be called no longer The Topheth, or The Valley of Ben-hinnom, —but—The Valley of Slaughter;
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.
7 And I will pour out the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place, And I will cause them to fall by the sword, before their enemies, and by the hand of them who seek their life, —
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.
8 And I will give their dead bodies for food, to the bird of the heavens and to the beast of the earth; And I will make this city a desolation and a hissing, —every one that passeth by it, shall be astonished and hiss over all her wounds;
keiman Jerusalem khopi hi kasuhchim’a, khogem’a kaumsah ding, koi hileh ajotpa jousen kidang asahdiu, tijalih leudiu ahi.
9 And I will suffer them to eat the flesh of their sons, and the flesh of their daughters, yea every one—the flesh of his friend, will they eat, —in the siege and in the straitness, wherewith, their enemies, and they who seek their lives, will straiten them.
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.
10 Then shalt thou break the bottle, before the eyes of the men who are walking with thee;
Chutah le nangman nalhonpiho mitmu changtah’a chu, nabel choh chu, navoh kehding,
11 and shalt say unto them—Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts—Thus and thus, will I break this people, and this city, As one breaketh the vessel of a potter, which cannot be made whole any more, —And in Topheth, shall they bury, for want of place to bury.
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.
12 Thus, will I do to this place Declareth Yahweh, And to the inhabitants thereof, —Even making this city like Topheth:
13 Yea, the houses of Jerusalem and the houses of the kings of Judah, shall like the place of Topheth, be places defiled, —even all the houses upon whose roofs they burned incense to all the host of the heavens, and poured out drink-offerings to other gods.
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.
14 Then entered Jeremiah out of Topheth, whither Yahweh had sent him to prophesy, —and stood in the court of the house of Yahweh, and said unto all the people:
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.
15 Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, Behold me! brining in against this city, and upon all the cities thereof, The whole calamity which I have pronounced against her, —Because they stiffened their neck, that they might not hear my words.
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.
