Jeremiah 19
1 This is another message that Yahweh gave [to me]: “Go and buy a clay jar from a man who makes them. Then take with you some of the elders of the people and leaders of the priests.
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik in som ac molela sie sufa orekla ke kle. El oayapa fahk nu sik in us kutu mwet matu sin mwet uh, ac kutu mwet tol matu,
2 Go out [of the city] past the Gate of Broken Pots, to the place [overlooking the dump for broken pottery in] the Ben-Hinnom Valley. Then give them a message.
ac in fahsr sasla Mutunpot lun Sufa Fokelik, ac illa nu Infalfal Hinnom. Na ingo nga in fahkak kas ma El ac fah fahk nu sik.
3 Say to them, ‘[This message is for] you kings of Judah and [other] people of Jerusalem. Listen to what Yahweh is saying! The Commander of the armies of angels says that he will cause there to be a terrible disaster in [Jerusalem]. Those who hear about it will be stunned/shocked [IDM].
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik in fahk ouinge, “Tokosra lun Judah ac mwet Jerusalem, porongo ma nga, LEUM GOD Kulana, God lun Israel, ac fahk. Nga fah use mwe ongoiya lulap nu fin acn se inge, tuh elos nukewa su lohng kac fah fwefela.
4 [That will happen] because [you Israeli] people have stopped worshiping me, and have caused this place to be a place where [you worship] foreign gods. You burn sacrifices to gods that neither you nor your ancestors nor [even] the kings of Judah ever heard about. And you have filled this place with the blood of innocent people [whom you have killed].
Nga ac fah oru ouinge mweyen mwet uh sisyula, ac akfohkfokye acn se inge ke elos orek kisa lalos nu ke god saya — god su elos, ac mwet matu lalos somla ac tokosra lun Judah, tia etu kutena ma kac. Elos nwakla acn se inge ke srahn mwet wangin mwata,
5 You have built shrines to honor [your god] Baal, and at those shrines you have [killed] your own children and offered them to be sacrifices to Baal. I never commanded you to do that, I never spoke about doing that, I never even thought about anyone doing that.
ac elos etoak loang in esukak tulik natulos fac, tuh in mwe kisa firir lalos nu sel Baal. Nga tiana sapkin elos in oru ma inge, ac wangin pacna in nunak luk uh.
6 So, beware, [because I, ] Yahweh, say that there will be a time when this garbage dump will no longer be called Topheth or Ben-Hinnom Valley; it will be called Slaughter Valley.
Ke ma inge, oasr pacl se ac fah tuku, ke ac fah tia sifilpa pangpang acn se inge Topheth ku Infahlfal Hinnom, a ac fah pangpang Infahlfal in Uniya.
7 In this place I will ruin the plans of [you people who live in] Jerusalem and in [other places in] Judah. I will allow your enemies who want to kill you to kill [many of] you with their swords. [Then] I will allow your corpses to remain on the ground to be food for vultures and wild animals.
In acn se inge nga fah kunausla pwapa nukewa lun mwet Judah ac Jerusalem. Nga ac fuhlela mwet lokoalok lalos in kutangulosla ac onelosi ke mweun. Nga ac sang mano misa lalos nu sin won ac kosro lemnak tuh in mwe mongo nalos.
8 I will [completely destroy] Jerusalem and cause it to become a heap of ruins that people will despise. All the people who pass by will be appalled, and they will be shocked when they see that the city has been destroyed.
Nga fah arulana sukela siti se inge, na elos nukewa su fahsryak we fah lut ac oela.
9 I will enable your enemies who want to kill you to surround the city for a long time. [Then the food will be all gone, and you people will be extremely hungry, with the result that] you people in the city will eat the flesh of your own children and your neighbors’ children.’
Mwet lokoalok ac kuhlusya siti uh ac srike in onela mwet we. Ke elos kuhlasak, wanginla mwe mongo nun mwet in siti uh, pwanang elos kang ikwen mwet tulan lalos, oayapa tulik natulos sifacna.”
10 [Jeremiah, after you tell that to them], while the people who are with you are watching, smash the jar [that you brought].
Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik in fukulya sufa sac ye mutun mukul ma wiyu som,
11 Then say to them, ‘This is what the Commander of the armies of angels says: “Just like this jar has been smashed and cannot be repaired, I will smash this city of Jerusalem and other places in Judah. You will bury some of your corpses here in this dump, until there is no more space to bury any more corpses.
ac in fahk nu selos lah LEUM GOD Kulana El fahk, “Nga ac fukulya mwet inge ac siti se inge, tuh in oana sufa kle soko inge ma tia ku in sifilpa akonkoneni nu sie. Mwet uh ac fah pikinya mwet misa lalos, finne in acn Topheth, mweyen wangin pac acn saya in puknelosi we.
12 That is what I will do to this city and to you people who live here. I will cause this city to be desecrated, like [King Josiah caused Topheth to be] a place that was unfit for people to worship me there.
Nga wulela mu nga ac oru siti se inge ac mwet we uh in oana acn Topheth.
13 The houses in Jerusalem and the palaces of the kings of Judah will be desecrated like this place will be. All the houses where you burned incense on the rooftops to honor the stars [that you worshiped], and where you poured out wine [to be an offering] to your gods, will become (desecrated/unacceptable places for people to worship me).”’”
Lohm Jerusalem, lohm sin tokosra lun Judah, oayapa lohm nukewa ma mwet we uh furreak mwe keng fin lohm selos nu ke itu uh, ac okoala wain in mwe kisa nu ke god saya uh — lohm inge nukewa ac fah fohkfokla oana acn Topheth.”
14 Then I returned from the garbage dump where Yahweh had sent me to tell them that message. Then I stood in the courtyard of Yahweh’s temple and said this to all the people [who were there]:
Na nga som liki acn Topheth, yen LEUM GOD El supweyu in fahkak kas lal we. Nga som ac tu inkul lun Tempul ac fahkak nu sin mwet nukewa
15 “This is what the Commander of the armies of angels says: ‘I will cause there to be a disaster in this city and in the villages around it like I promised, because you people have stubbornly [IDM] refused to pay attention to what I said to you.’”
lah LEUM GOD Kulana, God lun Israel, El fahk, “Nga ac fah use nu fin siti se inge ac nu fin acn nukewa raunela, mwe kai nukewa ma nga tuh fahk mu nga ac oru, mweyen kowos likkeke ac tia porongo ma nga fahk.”
