Jeremiah 19

1 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,

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 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.

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 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.

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 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,

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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 Nga fah arulana sukela siti se inge, na elos nukewa su fahsryak we fah lut ac oela.

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 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.”

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 Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik in fukulya sufa sac ye mutun mukul ma wiyu som,

And you shall crush the bottle in the sight of the men who will go with you.

11 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.

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 Nga wulela mu nga ac oru siti se inge ac mwet we uh in oana acn Topheth.

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 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.”

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 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

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 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.”

“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.”
