Jeremia 19
1 Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Dhiyo kendo ingʼiew njage mar lowo kuom jachwe agulni. Dhi gi jodong ji moko kod jodolo
Thus saith the Lord: Go, and take a potter’s earthen bottle, and take of the ancients of the people, and of the ancients of the priests:
2 kendo idhi e Holo mar Ben Hinom, mantiere machiegni gi kar donjo mar Dhoranga Potshad. Go milome kanyo mar weche manyisi,
And go forth into the valley of the son of Ennom, which is by the entry of the earthen gate: and there thou shalt proclaim the words that I shall tell thee.
3 kendo iwach ni, ‘Winjuru wach Jehova Nyasaye, yaye ruodhi mag Juda kod jo-Jerusalem. Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, ma Nyasach Israel, wacho: Winjuru! Anakel masira kae mano mi it ngʼato ka ngʼato mowinjo nosakni,
And thou shalt say: Hear the word of the Lord, O ye kings of Juda, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem: Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold I will bring an affliction upon this place: so that whoever shall hear it, his ears shall tingle:
4 nimar gisejwangʼa mi giseketo ka obedo mar nyiseche mamoko, gisewangʼo misengini e iye ne nyiseche ma gin kata wuonegi kata ruodhi mag Juda ne ok ongʼeyo, kendo gisepongʼo kae gi remb joma onge ketho.
Because they have forsaken me, and have profaned this place: and have sacrificed therein to strange gods, whom neither they nor their fathers knew, nor the kings of Juda: and they have filled this place with the blood of innocents.
5 Gisegero kuonde motingʼore gi malo ne Baal mondo giwangʼ yawuotgi e mach kaka chiwo ne Baal, gimoro mane ok achiko kata tuomo, bende ne onge e pacha.
And they have built the high places of Baalim, to burn their children with fire for a holocaust to Baalim: which I did not command, nor speak of, neither did it once come into my mind.
6 Omiyo tangʼ, kinde biro, Jehova Nyasaye owacho, ma ji ok nochak oluong kae ni Tofeth kata Holo mar Ben Hinom, to noluonge ni Holo mar Nek.’
Therefore behold the days come, saith the Lord, that this place shall no more be called Topheth, nor the valley of the son of Ennom, but the valley of slaughter.
7 “‘Ka eri ema nakethie chenro mag Juda kod Jerusalem. Anawe neg-gi gi ligangla e nyim wasikgi, e lwet jogo madwaro ngimagi, kendo anachiw ringregi kaka chiemo ne winy mafuyo e polo kod le manie piny.
And I will defeat the counsel of Juda and of Jerusalem in this place: and I will destroy them with the sword in the sight of their enemies, and by the hands of them that seek their lives: and I will give their carcasses to be meat for the fowls of the air, and for the beasts of the earth.
8 Anaketh dala maduongʼni kendo mi obed gima ijaro; jogo duto makalo bute nohum nono kendo gininyiere ka gineno adhondene duto.
And I will make this city an astonishent, and a hissing: every one that shall pass by it, shall be astonished, and shall hiss because of all the plagues thereof.
9 Anami gicham ringre yawuotgi kod nyigi, kendo ginichamre kendgi e kinde marach ma wasikgi ogengʼonigi ka dwaro ngimagi.’
And I will feed them with the flesh of their sons, and with the flesh of their daughters: and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend in the siege, and in the distress wherewith their enemies, and they that seek their lives shall straiten them.
10 “Bangʼe initoo njageno ka jok midhigo neno,
And thou shalt break the bottle in the sight of the men that shall go with thee.
11 kendo iwachnegi, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho: Anaketh pinyni kod dala maduongʼni mana kaka aguch jachwecho itoyo mi ok nyal los kendo. Giniyik joma otho ei Tofeth ma thuolo nobed maonge.
And thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord of hosts: even so will I break this people, and this city, as the potter’s vessel is broken, which cannot be made whole again: and they shall be buried in Topheth, because there is no other place to bury in.
12 Ma e gima anatimne pinyni kod joma odak ka, Jehova Nyasaye owacho. Anami dala maduongʼni chal gi Tofeth.
Thus will I do to this place, saith the Lord, and to the inhabitants thereof: and I will make this city as Topheth.
13 Ute man Jerusalem kod mago mag ruodhi Juda nodwany mana machal gi ute man Tofeth, mane giwangʼoe ubani ewi tado mag udi ne gik mochwe mae kor polo kendo olo misango miolo piny ne nyiseche manono.’”
And the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of Juda shall be unclean as the place of Topheth: all the houses upon whose roots they have sacrificed to all the host of heaven, and have poured out drink offerings to strange gods.
14 Bangʼe Jeremia noduogo koa Tofeth, kama Jehova Nyasaye noore mondo okore wach, kendo nochungʼ e agola mar hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye mi owachone ji duto ni,
Then Jeremias came from Topheth, whither the Lord had sent him to prophecy, and he stood in the court of the house of the Lord, and said to all people:
15 “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, ma Nyasach Israel, wacho: ‘Winjuru! Adhi kelone dala maduongʼni kod gwenge molwore masiche duto mane alando kuomgi, nikech ne tokgi tek ta kendo ne ok ginyal winjo wechena.’”
Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold I will bring in upon this city, and upon all the cities thereof all the evils that I have spoken against it: because they have hardened their necks, and they might not hear my words.
