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,
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 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,
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 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,
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 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,
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 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.
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 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.
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 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,
“‘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 have made this city for a desolation, and for a hissing, everyone passing by it is astonished, and hisses for all its plagues.
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 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.”
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 “And you have broken the bottle before the eyes of the men who are going with you,
“Kụwaa ite ahụ mgbe ndị gị na ha so nọ na-ele gị anya.
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;
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 so I do to this place—a declaration of YHWH—and to its inhabitants, so as to make this city as Tophet;
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, 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.”
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 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:
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 “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!”
“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.’”
