Da Peopo No Do Wat God Tell Um Fo Do
16 “So you, Jeremiah, no pray fo dese peopo o beg me fo help dem. Cuz I no goin lissen you. 17 You no see wat da peopo do inside da Judah towns an on top da Jerusalem streets, o wat?! 18 ✡ 7:18: Jer 44:17-19Da kids get firewood, an dea faddahs make fire, an da wahines lomi da bread dough fo make spesho kine roun breads fo make one sacrifice fo da wahine god dey call da Queen A Da Sky. Dey pour wine on top da altars fo make sacrifice fo da odda gods too, jus fo piss me off. 19 But you tink I da One dey hurt?! No way! Dey ony make lidat fo dem come shame. Dey hurt ony dem wen dey do dat. Az da message from Da One In Charge.
20 “Az why Da One In Charge a me tell: ‘You know wat I goin do to dis place?! I goin come real huhu, an I had it wit wat dis peopo do. Az why da peopo inside dis place hea, an da animals, da trees, an da stuffs dat grow on top da groun—eryting goin burn, an no mo nobody can pio da fire!’ ”
21 Dis wat Da One In Charge, da God Ova All Da Armies an da God fo da Israel peopo, tell: “Take da kine sacrifices you suppose to burn up on top yoa altars, an go eat da meat from dem, jalike you do wit da odda kine sacrifices! 22 Cuz da time I wen bring yoa ancesta guys outa Egypt, an talk to dem, no was jus fo tell dem dey gotta make burn up kine sacrifices an odda kine sacrifices. 23 Dis da main ting I wen tell um: ‘Lissen wat I tell you fo do, an do um! Den I goin come da God fo you guys, an you goin come my peopo. Live da way I tell you guys you gotta live! Den eryting goin go good fo you guys.’
24 “But my peopo, dey no lissen, o tink bout wat I tell. Dey hard head, an dey do wat dea bad heart like do. Dey suppose to go one way, an dey go da odda way, 25 from da time yoa ancesta guys come outa Egypt till now! Ery day, ova an ova, I sen you all my worka guys dat talk fo me. 26 But yoa ancesta guys no lissen me o tink bout wat I tell. Dey hard head, an dey do mo plenny bad kine stuff den dea ancesta guys wen do.
27 “Wen you tell dem all dis stuff, dey no goin lissen you. Wen you yell to dem, dey no goin ansa. 28 Az why you gotta tell um, ‘You Judah guys, da peopo dat no lissen yoa God, Da One In Charge. You guys no like learn notting wen he punish you fo make you go da right way. Fo you guys, no mo nobody tell da trut. You no even talk bout wass true!
29 “ ‘Eh you Jerusalem peopo!
Cut yoa hair an make bolohead fo show you stay sad inside.
Cut um off an throw um away.
Go da trails on top da mountains wea no mo notting grow,
An sing one sad song dea.
Cuz Da One In Charge had it wit his peopo.
He dig out awready from da peopo dat stay hea now.
He throw um out cuz he stay real huhu wit dem.’ ”
Da Valley Wea Dey Kill Peopo
30 Dis anodda message from Da One In Charge: “Da Judah ohana peopo wen do bad kine stuff da way I see um. Dey put up dea pilau idol kine gods inside my Temple, dat stay fo show erybody wat kine god me. But dey make da Temple so nobody can pray dea. 31 ✡ 7:31 a: 2Kings 23:10; Jer 32:35; b: Pries 18:21Dey build sacrifice places jalike da one dey call Tofet, inside da Bet-Hinnom Valley, fo burn up dea boys an girls inside da fire, fo make one sacrifice. I neva tell um fo make lidat, an I neva make plan fo dem do dat!”
32 Az how come Da One In Charge tell dis message too: “You betta watch out! Cuz bumbye, da peopo no goin call dat place Tofet, o da Bet-Hinnon Valley. Dey goin call um da Valley Wea Dey Kill Peopo. An dey goin bury da mahke peopo ova dea till no mo room. 33 Den, da mahke peopo bodies dat no mo room fo bury goin come food fo da birds an da wild animals, an no mo nobody goin make dem sked fo dem run away. 34 ✡ 7:34: Jer 16:9; 25:10; JShow 18:23Inside da Judah towns an da Jerusalem streets, no mo noise goin come from dea, from peopo dat stay good inside, da ones dat get good fun. No goin get wedding party kine noise cuz da whole land goin come all wipe out.”
