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,
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, “Genda ogule ensumbi ey’ebbumba okuva ku mubumbi. Twala abamu ku bakadde ne ku bakabona,
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,
ofulume ogende mu kiwonvu kya mutabani wa Kinomu ekiri awayingirirwa mu mulyango Kalusiisi, olangiririre eyo ebigambo bye nnaakutegeeza.
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,
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 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,
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 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.
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, 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.
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 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,
“‘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 have made this city for a desolation, and for a hissing, everyone passing by it is astonished, and hisses for all its plagues.
Ndidibaga ekibuga kino ne nkifuula eky’okusekererwa, n’abo bonna abayitawo bennyamire era baseke olw’ebiwundu byakyo byonna.
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.”
Olw’okuzingizibwa n’okunyigirizibwa abalabe baabwe abanoonya okubatta, ndibaliisa emirambo gya batabani baabwe n’egy’abawala baabwe era buli omu alirya munne.’
10 “And you have broken the bottle before the eyes of the men who are going with you,
“Awo n’olyoka omenya ensumbi abo b’ogenze n’abo nga balaba,
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;
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 so I do to this place—a declaration of YHWH—and to its inhabitants, so as to make this city as Tophet;
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 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.”
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 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:
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 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!”
“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.’”
