Jeremiah 19
1 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:
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, “Genda ogule ensumbi ey’ebbumba okuva ku mubumbi. Twala abamu ku bakadde ne ku bakabona,
2 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.
ofulume ogende mu kiwonvu kya mutabani wa Kinomu ekiri awayingirirwa mu mulyango Kalusiisi, olangiririre eyo ebigambo bye nnaakutegeeza.
3 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:
Ogambe nti, ‘Muwulire ekigambo kya Mukama mmwe bakabaka ba Yuda nammwe abali mu Yerusaalemi, bw’atyo bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye, Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, Muwulirize! Ndireeta ekikangabwa mu kifo kino ekiriwaawaaza buli kutu.
4 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.
Kubanga banvuddeko ekifo kino ne bakifuula ekya bakatonda abalala. Bookerezaamu ebiweebwayo eri bakatonda, bakitaabwe wadde bakabaka ba Yuda be batamanyangako, nga bajjuzza ekifo kino omusaayi gw’abataliiko musango.
5 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.
Bazimbye ebifo ebigulumivu ebya Baali, bookereyo batabani baabwe mu muliro ng’ekiweebwayo eri Baali, ekintu kye siragiranga, era kye soogerangako, wadde okukirowoozaako.
6 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.
Noolwekyo bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, Mwegendereze, ennaku zijja, ng’ekifo kino abantu tebakyakiyita Tofesi newaakubadde Kiwonvu kya mutabani wa Kinomu, wabula nga bakiyita ekiwonvu eky’ettambiro.
7 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.
“‘Mu kifo kino ndizikiriza entegeka za Yuda ne Yerusaalemi. Ne mbawaayo mu mikono gy’abalabe baabwe battibwe n’ekitala, era ndiwaayo emirambo gyabwe okuba emmere y’ebinyonyi eby’omu bbanga n’ebisolo eby’omu nsiko.
8 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.
Ndidibaga ekibuga kino ne nkifuula eky’okusekererwa, n’abo bonna abayitawo bennyamire era baseke olw’ebiwundu byakyo byonna.
9 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.
Olw’okuzingizibwa n’okunyigirizibwa abalabe baabwe abanoonya okubatta, ndibaliisa emirambo gya batabani baabwe n’egy’abawala baabwe era buli omu alirya munne.’
10 And thou shalt break the bottle in the sight of the men that shall go with thee.
“Awo n’olyoka omenya ensumbi abo b’ogenze n’abo nga balaba,
11 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.
obagambe nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye nti, Ndiyasaayasa eggwanga lino n’ekibuga kino ng’ensumbi y’omubumbi eno bw’engiyasaayasa nga tekikyayinzika kugiddaabiriza. Baliziika abafu mu Tofesi okutuusa ekifo awaziikibwa lwe kirijjula.
12 Thus will I do to this place, saith the Lord, and to the inhabitants thereof: and I will make this city as Topheth.
Kino kye ndikola ekifo kino n’abo abakibeeramu, bw’ayogera Mukama. Ekibuga kino ndikifuula nga Tofesi.
13 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.
Amayumba g’omu Yerusaalemi n’aga bakabaka ba Yuda galiyonoonebwa ng’ago mu Tofesi, ennyumba zonna mwe booterezza obubaane eri eggye lyonna erya bakatonda ab’omu bbanga, ne baweerayo ekiweebwayo ekyokunywa.’”
14 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:
Awo Yeremiya n’akomawo okuva e Tofesi Mukama gye yali amutumye okuwa obunnabbi, n’ayimirira mu mbuga ya yeekaalu ya Mukama n’agamba abantu bonna nti,
15 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.
“Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye, Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, ‘Muwulirize, ndireeta ku kibuga kino ne ku bubuga obukyetoolodde buli kikangabwa kyonna kye nakirangirirako, kubanga baakakanyaza ensingo zaabwe ne batagondera bigambo byange.’”
