< Jeremiah 19 >

1 Thus said YHWH: “Go, and you have acquired a potter’s earthen vessel, and from [the] elderly of the people, and from [the] elderly of the priests,
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Dhiyo kendo ingʼiew njage mar lowo kuom jachwe agulni. Dhi gi jodong ji moko kod jodolo
2 and you have gone forth to the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, that [is] at the opening of the gate of the pottery, and have proclaimed there the words that I speak to you,
kendo idhi e Holo mar Ben Hinom, mantiere machiegni gi kar donjo mar Dhoranga Potshad. Go milome kanyo mar weche manyisi,
3 and have said, Hear a word of YHWH, you kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem!” Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: “Behold, I am bringing in evil on this place, at which the ears of everyone who is hearing it tingles,
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,
4 because that they have forsaken Me, and make known this place, and make incense in it to other gods, that they did not know, they and their fathers, and the kings of Judah, and they have filled this place [with] innocent blood,
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.
5 and have built the high places of Ba‘al to burn their sons with fire, burnt-offerings to Ba‘al, that I did not command, nor spoke of, nor did it come up on My heart.
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.
6 Therefore, behold, days are coming,” a declaration of YHWH, “and this place is no longer called The Tophet and Valley of the Son of Hinnom, but Valley of the Slaughter.
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.’
7 And I have made void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place, and have caused them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hand of those seeking their life, and I have given their carcass for food to the bird of the heavens, and to the beast of the earth,
“‘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.
8 and I have made this city for a desolation, and for a hissing, everyone passing by it is astonished, and hisses for all its plagues.
Anaketh dala maduongʼni kendo mi obed gima ijaro; jogo duto makalo bute nohum nono kendo gininyiere ka gineno adhondene duto.
9 And I have caused them to eat the flesh of their sons, and the flesh of their daughters, and they each eat the flesh of his friend, in the siege and in the constriction with which their enemies constrict them, and those seeking their life.”
Anami gicham ringre yawuotgi kod nyigi, kendo ginichamre kendgi e kinde marach ma wasikgi ogengʼonigi ka dwaro ngimagi.’
10 “And you have broken the bottle before the eyes of the men who are going with you,
“Bangʼe initoo njageno ka jok midhigo neno,
11 and have said to them, Thus said YHWH of Hosts: Thus I break this people and this city, as one breaks the potter’s vessel, that is not able to be repaired again, and in Tophet they bury—without place to bury;
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.
12 so I do to this place—a declaration of YHWH—and to its inhabitants, so as to make this city as Tophet;
Ma e gima anatimne pinyni kod joma odak ka, Jehova Nyasaye owacho. Anami dala maduongʼni chal gi Tofeth.
13 and the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, have been as the place of Tophet—defiled, even all the houses on whose roofs they have made incense to all the host of the heavens, so as to pour out oblations to other gods.”
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.’”
14 And Jeremiah comes in from Tophet, to where YHWH had sent him to prophesy, and he stands in the court of the house of YHWH, and he says to all the people:
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,
15 “Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Behold, I am bringing to this city, and on all its cities, all the calamity that I have spoken against it, for they have hardened their neck to not hear My words!”
“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.’”
