Jeremiah 19
1 Thus said the LORD, Go, and buy a potter’s earthen bottle, and [take] of the elders of the people, and of the elders 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 unto the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the gate Harsith, and proclaim there 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 say, Hear ye the word of the LORD, O kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem; thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, the which whosoever heareth, 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 estranged this place, and have burned incense in it unto other gods, whom they knew not, they and their fathers and the kings of Judah; and 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 have built the high places of Baal, to burn their sons in the fire for burnt offerings unto Baal; which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it 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 Hinnom, 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 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 to be meat for the fowls of the heaven, 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 astonishment, and an hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished and 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 cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend, in the siege and in the straitness, wherewith their enemies, and they that seek their life, 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 Then shalt thou break the bottle in the sight of the men that go with thee,
“Awo n’olyoka omenya ensumbi abo b’ogenze n’abo nga balaba,
11 and shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD 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.
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 unto this place, saith the LORD, and to the inhabitants thereof, even making 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 the kings of Judah, which are defiled, shall be as the place of Topheth, even all the houses upon whose roofs they have burned incense unto all the host of heaven, and have poured out drink offerings unto 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 Then came Jeremiah from Topheth, whither the LORD had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of the LORD’S house, and said 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 saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon all her towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it; because they have made their neck stiff, that 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.’”
