Jeremiah 19

1 Thus saith Jehovah: Go and buy a potter's earthen flagon, and [take] of the elders of the people, and of the elders of the priests;

‌ʻOku pehē mai ʻa Sihova, ʻAlu, ʻo toʻo ʻae hina ʻumea ʻoe tufunga ngaohi ipu, pea ʻave ʻae kau mātuʻa niʻihi ʻoe kakai, pea mo e kau mātuʻa ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki;

2 and go forth unto the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the pottery-gate, and proclaim there the words that I shall tell thee,

Pea ke ʻalu ki he teleʻa ʻoe foha ʻo Henomi, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he matapā hahake, pea fakahā ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi lea ʻaia te u tala kiate koe,

3 and say, Hear the word of Jehovah, O kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem. Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, the which whosoever heareth, his ears shall tingle;

Pea ke pehē, “ʻE ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta, mo e kakai ʻo Selūsalema, mou fanongo ki he folofola ʻa Sihova; ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli; Vakai, te u ʻomi ʻae kovi ki he potu ni, pea ko ia ʻe fanongo ki ai, ʻe vavana ai hono telinga.

4 because they have forsaken me, and have estranged this place [from me], and have burned incense in it unto other gods, whom neither they nor their fathers have known, nor the kings of Judah; and have filled this place with the blood of innocents;

Koeʻuhi kuo nau liʻaki au, pea kuo fakakehe ʻae potu ni, kuo tutu ʻi ai ʻae meʻa namu kakala ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo, pe ko ʻenau ngaahi tamai, pe ko e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta, pea kuo fakapito ʻaki ʻae potu ni ʻae toto ʻoe taʻehalaia.

5 and they have built the high places of Baal, to burn their sons in the fire as burnt-offerings unto Baal, which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it up into my mind:

Kuo nau langa foki ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga ʻo Peali, ke tutu ai honau ngaahi foha ʻi he afi, ko e feilaulau tutu kia Peali, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te u fekau, pe lea ki ai, pea naʻe ʻikai siʻi te u fiemālie ki ai:

6 therefore behold, days come, saith Jehovah, that this place shall no more be called Topheth, nor Valley of the son of Hinnom, but the valley of slaughter.

Ko ia, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻOku haʻu ʻae ngaahi ʻaho, ʻe ʻikai toe ui ʻae potu ni ko Tofeti, pe ko e teleʻa ʻoe foha ʻo Henomi, ka Ko e teleʻa ʻoe tāmateʻi.

7 And I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place; and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hand of them that seek their life, and their carcases will I give as food to the fowl of the heavens and to the beasts of the earth.

Pea te u fakataʻeʻaonga ʻae fakakaukau ʻa Siuta mo Selūsalema ʻi he potu ni: pea te u pule ke nau tō ʻi he heletā ʻi he ʻao ʻo honau ngaahi fili, pea mo e nima ʻonautolu ʻoku kumi ʻenau moʻui: pea te u foaki honau ʻangaʻanga ke kai ʻe he fanga manu ʻoe ʻatā, pea mo e fanga manu ʻoe fonua.

8 And I will make this city an astonishment and a hissing; every one that passeth by shall be astonished and hiss because of all the plagues thereof.

Pea te u ngaohi ʻae kolo ni ke lala, pea ko e manukiʻanga; pea ʻe ofo mo fakaʻiseʻisa ki ai ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻalu ki ai, koeʻuhi ko hono ngaahi tautea kotoa pē.

9 And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat everyone the flesh of his friend, in the siege and in the straitness wherewith their enemies, and they that seek their lives, shall straiten them.

Pea te u pule ke nau kai ʻae kakano ʻo honau ngaahi foha, pea mo e kakano ʻo honau ngaahi ʻofefine, pea te nau taki taha kai ʻae kakano ʻo hono kāinga ʻi he tau mo e mamahi, ʻaia ʻe fakamamahi ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻe honau ngaahi fili, pea mo kinautolu ʻoku kumi ʻenau moʻui.”

10 And thou shalt break the flagon in the sight of the men that go with thee,

Pea te ke toki foa ʻae hina ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau tangata ʻoku nau ʻalu mo koe,

11 and shalt say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Even so will I break this people and this city, as one breaketh a potter's vessel, that cannot be made whole again. And they shall bury in Topheth, till there be no place to bury.

Pea te ke lea kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku pehē mai ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau; ʻE pehē ʻeku maumauʻi ʻae kakai ni, pea mo e kolo ni, ʻo hangē ʻoku foaʻi ʻe ha taha ʻae ipu ʻae tufunga ngaohi ipu, ʻaia ʻe ʻikai toe faʻa ngaohi ke haohaoa: pea ʻe tanu [ʻakinautolu ]ʻi Tofeti, pea ʻe ʻikai ha potu ʻe hao ai honau tanu.

12 Thus will I do unto this place, saith Jehovah, and to the inhabitants thereof, and make this city as Topheth.

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, Te u fai pehē ki he potu ni, pea mo hono kakai, pea te u ngaohi ʻae kolo ni ke hangē ko Tofeti:

13 And the houses of Jerusalem and the houses of the kings of Judah shall be as the place of Topheth, defiled, all the houses upon whose roofs they have burned incense unto all the host of the heavens, and have poured out drink-offerings unto other gods.

Pea ʻe fakaʻuliʻi ʻae ngaahi fale ʻo Selūsalema, pea mo e ngaahi fale ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻo hangē ko e potu ʻo Tofeti, koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi fale kotoa pē ʻaia kuo tutu ai ʻae meʻa namu kakala ʻi honau tuʻa fale ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoe langi, pea kuo lilingi ai ʻae feilaulau inu ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe.”

14 And Jeremiah came from Topheth, whither Jehovah had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of Jehovah's house, and said to all the people,

Pea naʻe toki haʻu ʻa Selemaia mei Tofeti, ʻaia naʻe fekau ia ki ai ʻe Sihova ke kikite; pea ne tuʻu ʻi he lotoʻā ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova ʻo ne lea ki he kakai kotoa pē,

15 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon all her cities all the evil that I have spoken against it; for they have hardened their necks, not to hear my words.

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli; “Vakai te u ʻomi ki he kolo ni, pea mo hono ngaahi potu kakai kotoa pē, ʻae kovi kotoa pē ʻaia naʻaku lea ki ai, koeʻuhi kuo nau fakakekeva honau kia, telia naʻa nau fanongo ki heʻeku ngaahi lea.”
