Jeremiah 19
1 This is what the Lord has said: Go and get for money a potter's bottle made of earth, and take with you some of the responsible men of the people and of the priests;
Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, “Jee, zụta otu ite aja site nʼaka ọkpụ ite. Duru ụfọdụ nʼime ndị okenye na ndị nchụaja,
2 And go out to the valley of the son of Hinnom, by the way into the door of broken pots, and there say in a loud voice the words which I will give you;
jee na Ndagwurugwu nke Ben Hinom, nke dị nso nʼọnụ ụzọ ama Ejuju dị nʼọwụwa anyanwụ. Nọdụ nʼebe ahụ kwupụtara ha okwu ndị m gwara gị.
3 Say, Give ear to the word of the Lord, O kings of Judah and people of Jerusalem; the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said, See, I will send evil on this place which will be bitter to the ears of anyone hearing of it.
Sị ha, ‘Nụrụnụ okwu Onyenwe anyị, unu ndị eze Juda, na ndị Jerusalem. Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, onye bụ Chineke Izrel kwuru. Geenụ ntị! Aga m eme ka ihe ọjọọ bịakwasị ala a, ụdị ihe ọjọọ ga-eme ka ntị ọbụla nụrụ ya zụọ wuruwuru.
4 Because they have given me up, and made this place a strange place, burning perfumes in it to other gods, of whom they and their fathers and the kings of Judah had no knowledge; and they have made this place full of the blood of those who have done no wrong;
Nʼihi na ha ahapụla m, mee ka ebe a ghọọ nke chi ndị mba ọzọ. Ha achụọla aja nsure ọkụ nʼime ya nye chi ndị ahụ ha na nna nna ha, maọbụ ndị eze Juda, na-amaghị. Ha ejirila ọbara ndị aka ha dị ọcha mejupụta ebe a.
5 And they have put up the high places of the Baal, burning their sons in the fire; a thing which was not ordered by me, and it was never in my mind:
Ha ewuola ebe ịchụ aja dị elu nye chi Baal. Nʼelu ya kwa ka ha na-esure ụmụ ha dịka aja nye Baal, bụ nke m na-enyeghị nʼiwu, ekwughịkwa m ya, o nwekwaghị mgbe o ji bata m nʼobi.
6 For this cause, see, a time is coming, says the Lord, when this place will no longer be named Topheth, or, The valley of the son of Hinnom, but, The valley of Death.
Ya mere, kpacharanụ anya, nʼihi na ụbọchị ahụ na-abịa, ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri, mgbe ndị mmadụ agaghị akpọkwa ebe a Tofet ma ọ bụkwanụ Ndagwurugwu nke Ben Hinom, kama a ga-akpọ ya Ndagwurugwu Ogbugbu.
7 I will make the purpose of Judah and Jerusalem come to nothing in this place; I will have them put to the sword by their haters, and by the hands of those who have designs on their life; and their dead bodies I will give to be food for the birds of heaven and the beasts of the earth.
“‘Nʼebe a ka m ga-anọ laa nzube niile nke Juda na Jerusalem nʼiyi. Aga m eme ka ha daa site na mma agha nʼihu ndị iro ha, nʼaka ndị ahụ na-achọsi ndụ ha ike. Aga m enye ụmụ anụ ufe na anụ ọhịa ozu ha dịka nri.
8 And I will make this town a thing of wonder and a cause of surprise; everyone who goes by will be overcome with wonder and make sounds of surprise, because of all its troubles.
Aga m ebibi obodo a mee ka ọ ghọọ ihe iju anya na ihe ịma ọsụ. Ndị niile na-esi nʼakụkụ ya agafe ga-anọ nʼọnọdụ iju anya, ha ga-eledakwa ya anya nʼihi ọnya ya niile.
9 I will make them take the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters for food, they will be making a meal of one another, because of their bitter need and the cruel grip of their haters and those who have made designs against their life.
Aga m emekwa ka ha rie anụ ahụ nke ụmụ ha ndị ikom na ndị inyom. Ha ga-erikwa anụ ahụ ibe ha, nʼihi na ndị iro ha ga-agba ha gburugburu nọchibido ha nʼime oke mkpagbu ka ha bibie ndụ ha.’
10 Then let the potter's bottle be broken before the eyes of the men who have gone with you,
“Kụwaa ite ahụ mgbe ndị gị na ha so nọ na-ele gị anya.
11 And say to them, This is what the Lord of armies has said: Even so will this people and this town be broken by me, as a potter's bottle is broken and may not be put together again: and the bodies of the dead will be put in the earth in Topheth, till there is no more room.
Gwa ha sị, ‘Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile sịrị: Aga m etipịa mba a na obodo a, dịka ite aja nke ọkpụ ite a si daa tipịasịa nʼụzọ a na-apụghị imezikwa ya ọzọ. Ha ga-eli ndị nwụrụ anwụ na Tofet tutu ruo mgbe ohere na-agaghị adịkwa ili ozu ọzọ.
12 This is what I will do to this place, says the Lord, and to its people, making this town like Topheth:
Ihe dị otu a ka m ga-eme nʼebe a, meekwa ndị bi na ya. Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri. Aga m eme obodo a ka ọ dịrị ka Tofet.
13 And the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, which they have made unclean, will be like the place of Topheth, even all the houses on whose roofs perfumes have been burned to all the army of heaven, and drink offerings drained out to other gods.
Ụlọ niile dị na Jerusalem na ụlọ niile nke ndị eze Juda ka a ga-emerụ dịka ebe a, bụ Tofet, otu a ka a ga-esi merụọkwa ụlọ niile a suree ihe nsure ọkụ na-esi isi ụtọ nʼelu ha nye usuu niile nke eluigwe, wụsakwara chi ndị ọzọ ihe ọṅụṅụ dịka onyinye.’”
14 Then Jeremiah came from Topheth, where the Lord had sent him to give the prophet's word; and he took his place in the open square of the Lord's house, and said to all the people,
Mgbe Jeremaya si na Tofet, ebe ahụ Onyenwe anyị zigara ya ibu amụma lọta, o guzoro nʼogige ụlọnsọ ukwu Chineke ahụ, gwa ndị mmadụ niile okwu sị ha,
15 The Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: See, I will send on this town and on all her towns all the evil which I have said; because they made their necks stiff, so that they might not give ear to my words.
“Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, onye bụ Chineke nke Izrel sịrị, ‘Geenụ ntị! Ana m aga ime ka ihe ọjọọ ahụ m kwuru okwu ya bịakwasị obodo a, na obodo nta niile gbara ya gburugburu, nʼihi na ha bụ ndị isiike, ndị jụrụ ige ntị nʼokwu m.’”
