Jeremiah 19
1 Thus he said Yahweh go and you will buy a bottle of a potter of earthenware and some of [the] elders of the people and some of [the] elders of the priests.
Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: “Yi ɖaƒle ze le zemela si; kplɔ dumegã kple nunɔla tsitsi aɖewo ɖe asi,
2 And you will go out to [the] valley of Ben Hinnom which [is at] [the] entrance of [the] gate of (the potsherd *Q(k)*) and you will proclaim there the words which I will speak to you.
ne miayi ɖe Ben Hinom ƒe Balime si te ɖe agbo si woyɔna be Zemegbo la ŋu. Le afi ma la, ɖe gbeƒã nya siwo magblɔ na wò.
3 And you will say hear [the] word of Yahweh O kings of Judah and [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel here I [am] about to bring calamity on the place this which every [one who] hears of it they will tingle ears his.
Gblɔ be, ‘Mise Yehowa ƒe nya. O mi Yuda fiawo kple Yerusalem nɔlawo, ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔe nye esi: Miɖo to afii! Mele gbegblẽ he ge ava teƒe sia eye ame sia ame si ase nya sia la ƒe towo me aɖi yeeŋ.
4 Because - that they have forsaken me and they have treated as foreign the place this and they have made smoke in it to gods other which not they knew them they and ancestors their and [the] kings of Judah and they have filled the place this [the] blood of innocent [ones].
Elabena wogblẽm ɖi hetsɔ teƒe sia wɔ dzromawuwo ƒe nɔƒee. Wodo dzudzɔ ʋeʋĩ na mawu siwo woawo ŋutɔ, wo fofowo alo Yuda fiawo gɔ̃ hã menya o. Ale teƒe sia yɔ fũu kple ʋu maɖifɔwo.
5 And they have built [the] high places of Baal to burn children their in the fire burnt offerings to Baal which not I commanded and not I spoke and not it came up on heart my.
Wotu nuxeƒewo na Baal be woatɔ dzo woƒe ŋutsuviwo le afi ma abe vɔsa na Baal ene, nu si nyemeɖo na wo alo gblɔ na wo kaka wòayi nye ta me va ge o.
6 Therefore here! days [are] coming [the] utterance of Yahweh and not it will be called to the place this again Topheth and [the] valley of Ben Hinnom that except [the] valley of slaughter.
Eya ta Yehowa be mikpɔ nyuie elabena ŋkekewo li gbɔna, esi amewo magayɔ teƒe sia be Tofet alo Ben Hinom ƒe Balime o, ke boŋ woayɔe be Kubalime.
7 And I will make void [the] plan of Judah and Jerusalem in the place this and I will make fall them by the sword before enemies their and by [the] hand of [those who] seek life their and I will give corpse[s] their to food to [the] bird[s] of the heavens and to [the] animal[s] of the earth.
“‘Magblẽ Yuda kple Yerusalem ƒe ɖoɖowo me le teƒe sia. Mana woadze anyi le woƒe futɔwo ŋgɔ, ahatsi woƒe yi nu. Ɛ̃, woatsi ame siwo le woƒe agbe yome tim la ƒe asi me, eye matsɔ woƒe ŋutilã kukuawo awɔ nuɖuɖu na dziƒoxeviwo kple lã wɔadãwo.
8 And I will make the city this into a waste and into a hissing every [one who] passes by at it he will be appalled and he may hiss on all wounds its.
Magbã du sia gudugudu eye mana wòazu alɔmeɖenu. Ame siwo katã ato afi ma ayi la ƒe mo awɔ yaa eye woaɖu fewu le eŋu le ale si wogbãe la ta.
9 And I will make eat them [the] flesh of sons their and [the] flesh of daughters their and everyone [the] flesh of neighbor his they will eat in [the] siege and in [the] distress which they will press them enemies their and [those who] seek life their.
Mana woalé wo viŋutsuwo kple wo vinyɔnuwo aɖa aɖu. Woalé wo nɔewo aɖu le xaxa gã si ava wo dzi ne woƒe futɔ siwo le woƒe agbe yome tim la ɖe to ɖe wo?’
10 And you will break the bottle to [the] eyes of the men who go with you.
“Emegbe, gbã ze la le ame siwo nèkplɔ ɖe asi la ŋkume,
11 And you will say to them thus he says - Yahweh of hosts thus I will break the people this and the city this just as someone breaks [the] vessel of the potter which not it will be able to be repaired again and in Topheth people will bury from not room to bury.
eye nàgblɔ na wo be, ‘Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: Magbã dukɔ sia kple du sia gudugudu abe ale si zemela ƒe ze sia gbãe eye womagate ŋu atree o la ene. Woaɖi woƒe ame kukuwo ɖe Tofet va se ɖe esime teƒe maganɔ anyi o.
12 Thus I will do to the place this [the] utterance of Yahweh and to inhabitants its and to make the city this like Topheth.
Yehowa be, aleae mawɔ teƒe sia kple emenɔlawo katãe. Mawɔ du sia abe Tofet ene.
13 And they will be [the] houses of Jerusalem and [the] houses of [the] kings of Judah like [the] place of Topheth the unclean [things] to all the houses which people made smoke on roofs their to all [the] host of the heavens and they poured out drink offerings to gods other.
Aƒe siwo le Yerusalem kple Yuda fiawo ƒe aƒewo la, woagblẽ kɔ ɖo na wo abe Tofet ƒe nɔƒe ene ɖe aƒe siwo katã ƒe tame wodo dzudzɔ ʋeʋĩ le na dziƒoŋunuwo le eye woƒo aha ɖi na mawu bubuwo la ta.’”
14 And he came Jeremiah from Topheth where he had sent him Yahweh there to prophesy and he stood in [the] court of [the] house of Yahweh and he said to all the people.
Tete Yeremia trɔ tso Tofet, afi si Yehowa dɔe ɖo be wòagblɔ nya ɖi heva tsi tsitre ɖe Yehowa ƒe aƒe la ƒe xɔxɔnu eye wògblɔ na ameha la bena,
15 Thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel here I ([am] about to bring *Q(k)*) to the city this and on all cities its all the calamity which I have spoken on it for they have stiffened neck their to not to hear words my.
“Ale Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ kple Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔe nye esi: ‘Kpɔ ɖa, mahe gbegblẽ siwo megblɔ ɖi ɖe du sia kple du bubu siwo ƒo xlãe ŋuti la ava wo dzi elabena wonye kɔlialiatɔwo eye wogbe be yewomaɖo to nye nyawo o.’”
