< 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;
Waaqayyo akkana jedha; “Dhaqiitii suphee dhooftuu irraa okkotee suphee bitadhu. Maanguddoota sabaatii fi luboota keessaa namoota muraasa fudhadhuutii,
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;
gara Sulula Ben Hinoomitti kan balbala karra qiraacii biraa sana dhaqi. Achittis dubbii ani sitti himu labsi;
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:
akkanas jedhi; ‘Yaa mootota Yihuudaatii fi saba Yerusaalem dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼaa. Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: Dhaggeeffadhaa! Kunoo, ani balaa gurra nama waan sana dhagaʼu hundatti hin tolle tokko iddoo kanatti nan fida.
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;
Isaan na dhiisanii iddoo kana iddoo waaqota ormaa godhaniiruutii; iddoo kanattis waaqota isaanii yookaan abbootiin isaanii yookaan mootonni Yihuudaa hin beekiniif aarsaa gubamu dhiʼeessaniiru; iddoo kanas dhiiga namoota balleessaa hin qabneetiin guutaniiru.
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,
Isaan ilmaan isaanii aarsaa ibiddaan gubamu godhanii Baʼaaliif dhiʼeessuuf iddoo ol kaʼaa Baʼaaliif ijaaraniiru; kunis waan ani isaan hin ajajin yookaan maqaa hin dhaʼin yookaan yaada koo keessa iyyuu hin turinii dha.
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;
Kanaafuu beekkadhaa; barri itti namoonni iddoo sanaan, siʼachi Sulula Qalmaa jedhanii waamuu malee Toofet yookaan Sulula Ben Hinoom hin jenne ni dhufa, jedha Waaqayyo.
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, —
“‘Ani iddoo kanatti karoora Yihuudaatii fi karoora Yerusaalem nan diiga; akka isaan fuula diinota isaanii duratti, harka warra lubbuu isaanii galaafachuu barbaadaniitti goraadeedhaan dhuman nan godha; reeffa isaanii immoo allaattii samiitii fi bineensota lafaatiif nyaata godhee nan kenna.
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;
Ani magaalaa kana onsee waan sodaa fi qoosaa nan godha; kan achiin darbu hundi sababii madaa ishee hundaatiif dinqisiifatee isheetti kolfa.
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.
Ani akka isaan foon ilmaan isaaniitii fi intallan isaanii nyaatan nan godha; isaanis yeroo diinonni isaanii kanneen lubbuu isaanii galaafachuu barbaadan sun marsanii isaan dhiphisanitti foon walii isaanii nyaatu.’
10 Then shalt thou break the bottle, before the eyes of the men who are walking with thee;
“Ergasii okkotee sana fuula warra si wajjin deemanii duratti cabsiitii
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.
akkana isaaniin jedhi; ‘Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: Akkuma okkoteen suphee dhooftuu kun erga caccabee booddee deebiʼee haaromfamuu hin dandeenye sana ani saba kanaa fi magaalaa kana nan caccabsa; sababii iddoon itti nama awwaalan biraa hin jirreef namoonni Toofetitti reeffa awwaalu.
12 Thus, will I do to this place Declareth Yahweh, And to the inhabitants thereof, —Even making this city like Topheth:
Ani iddoo kanaa fi warra as jiraatanitti waan kana nan fida, jedha Waaqayyo. Magaalaa kanas akkuma Toofet nan godha.
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.
Manneen Yerusaalem keessaatii fi manneen mootota Yihuudaa jechuunis manneen jarri bantii isaanii irratti urjiiwwan samii hundaaf ixaana aarsanii waaqota biraafis dhibaayyuu dhibaafatan sun hundi akkuma iddoo Toofet kanaa ni xureeffamu.’”
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:
Ermiyaasis ergasii Toofet iddoo Waaqayyo akka inni achitti raajii dubbatuuf itti isa erge sanaa deebiʼee oobdii mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessa dhaabatee saba hundaan akkana jedhe;
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.
“Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha; ‘Mee dhaggeeffadhaa! Sababii isaan mata jabeeyyii taʼanii dubbii koo dhagaʼuu didaniif balaa ani isaanitti labsee ture hunda magaalaa kanaa fi gandoota naannoo ishee jiranitti nan fida.’”
