< Jeremiah 19 >

1 Thus said Yahweh, Go and buy a potter’s earthen bottle, —and take of the elders of the people, and of the elders of the priests;
Hoe t’Iehovà: Miviliaña zonjo-tane raike amy mpanao valàñe-taney, le min­desa roandria’ ondatio, naho zokem-pisoroñe;
2 Then shalt thou go forth into the valley of Ben-hinnom, which is at the opening of the gate of potsherds; and proclaim there the words which I shall speak unto thee;
vaho mionjona mb’am-bava­tane’ i Ben-Hinome, mb’am-pimoahañe an-dalambey atiñanam-b’eo, le saontsio eo o tsara ho taroñeko ama’oo,
3 and shalt say, —Hear ye the word of Yahweh, O kings of Judah And inhabitants of Jerusalem, —Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts—God of Israel Behold me! bringing in calamity upon this place, which shall cause the ears of every one that heareth it, to tingle:
ami’ty hoe: Janjiño ty tsara’ Iehovà, ry mpanjaka’ Iehodào, naho ry mpimone’ Ierosalaimeo; hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, Andrianañahare’ Israele: Ingo fa hampombako hankàñe ty toetse toy, hampitsantsàñe ze fonga ravembia hijanjiñe aze;
4 Because they have forsaken me, And have treated this as a foreign place, And have burned incense therein to other gods, which neither they, nor their fathers nor the kings of Judah, have known; And have filled this place with the blood of innocents;
amy te naforintse’ iereo iraho, naho nampialihe’ iereo ty toetse toy, naho nañemboke tsotse aman-drahare ila’e tsy nifohi’ iereo ndra o roae’ iareoo, ndra o mpanjaka’ Iehodào; nilipore’ iereo lio-màliñe ty toetse toy;
5 And have built the high places of Baal for burning up their sons in the fire as ascending-sacrifices to Baal, —Which I commanded not, Nor spake, Neither came it up on my heart,
le nandranjia’ iareo tamboho t’i Baale, hamorototo o ana’ iareoo añ’afo ao ho soroñañe amy Baale; ie tsy nililieko, tsy nitaroñako naho tsy nimoak’am-pitsakoreako ao.
6 Therefore, lo! days coming, Declareth Yahweh, When this place shall be called no longer The Topheth, or The Valley of Ben-hinnom, —but—The Valley of Slaughter;
Aa le ho tondroke ty andro, hoe t’Iehovà, te tsy ho tokaveñe ty hoe Tofete ty toetse toy, ndra ty hoe Vavatanen’ ana’ i Hinome, te mone ty Vavatanem-panjamanañe;
7 And I will pour out 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 who seek their life, —
Le ho koaheko ami’ty toetse toy ty fanoroan-keve’ Iehodà naho Ierosalaime; le hampikorovoheko fibara añ’atrefa’ o rafelahi’ iareoo, naho am-pità’ o mipay ty fiai’ iareoo; vaho ho fahanako ami’ty lolo’ iareo o voron-dikerañeo naho o bibi’ty tane toio;
8 And I will give their dead bodies for food, to the bird of the heavens and to the beast of the earth; And I will make this city a desolation and a hissing, —every one that passeth by it, shall be astonished and hiss over all her wounds;
naho hanoeko halatsañe ty rova toy, naho fikosihañe; le hene ho vereñe ze miary eo vaho hikosìke ty amo hekoheko iabio;
9 And I will suffer them to eat the flesh of their sons, and the flesh of their daughters, yea every one—the flesh of his friend, will they eat, —in the siege and in the straitness, wherewith, their enemies, and they who seek their lives, will straiten them.
le hampikamaeko iareo ty sandri’ o ana-dahi’eo naho ty nofo’ o anak’ampela’eo, naho songa hikama ty nofo’ o rañe’eo, amy fañarikatohañey naho amy fanjirañey, vaho amy haloviloviañe hanoe’ o rafelahi’e mipay ty fiai’ iareooy.
10 Then shalt thou break the bottle, before the eyes of the men who are walking with thee;
Ie amy zao, jeñaho am-pahaisaha’ indaty mindre ama’o rey i zonjoñey,
11 and shalt say unto them—Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts—Thus and thus, will I break this people, and this city, As one breaketh the vessel of a potter, which cannot be made whole any more, —And in Topheth, shall they bury, for want of place to bury.
vaho ano ty hoe: Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Hanahake izay ty hampidemohako ondaty retoa naho ty rova toy, hambañe ami’ty fampijeñafañe ty zonjòm-panao valàñe tane, t’ie tsy ho lefe amboareñe ka; le halenteke e Tofete ao iereo amy t’ie tsy ho aman-tanem-pandeveñañe.
12 Thus, will I do to this place Declareth Yahweh, And to the inhabitants thereof, —Even making this city like Topheth:
Izay ty hanoako ami’ty toetse toy, hoe t’Iehovà, naho amo mpimone’eo, soa te hampanahafeko amy Tofete ty rova toy,
13 Yea, the houses of Jerusalem and the houses of the kings of Judah, shall like the place of Topheth, be places defiled, —even all the houses upon whose roofs they burned incense to all the host of the heavens, and poured out drink-offerings to other gods.
le ho hambañe amy Tofete o anjomba’ Ierosalaimeo, naho o anjombam-panjaka’ Iehodà fa vinetao, toe ze hene anjomba nañemboke amo valobohòn-dikerañeo, vaho nidoañañe enga-rano amo ‘ndrahare ila’eo.
14 Then entered Jeremiah out of Topheth, whither Yahweh had sent him to prophesy, —and stood in the court of the house of Yahweh, and said unto all the people:
Ie pok’eo boake Tofete t’Iirmeà, amy nañiraha’ Iehovà aze hitoky; le nijohañe an-kiririsa’ i anjomba’ Iehovày eo nanao ty hoe am’ondaty iabio:
15 Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, Behold me! brining in against this city, and upon all the cities thereof, The whole calamity which I have pronounced against her, —Because they stiffened their neck, that they might not hear my words.
Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, Andrianañahare’ Israele: Inao, te hafe­tsako ami’ty rova toy naho amo tanà’e iabio o haliforan-kankàñe nitseizakoo; amy t’ie nampigan-kàtoke, tsy nijanjiñe o entakoo.
