Jeremia 19
1 Ũũ nĩguo Jehova ekuuga: “Thiĩ ũgũre gatigithũ ka rĩũmba harĩ mũũmbi. Ũcooke woe athuuri amwe a kĩrĩndĩ na athĩnjĩri-Ngai amwe,
Thus saith YHWH, Go and get a potter's earthen bottle, and take of the ancients of the people, and of the ancients of the priests;
2 mumagare mũthiĩ Gĩtuamba-inĩ kĩa Beni-Hinomu, hakuhĩ na itoonyero rĩa Kĩhingo-kĩa-Ngĩo. Wakinya hau wanĩrĩre ũhoro ũrĩa ngũkwĩra,
And go forth unto the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the east gate, and proclaim there the words that I shall tell thee,
3 uuge atĩrĩ, ‘Ta iguai ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova, inyuĩ athamaki a Juda, na andũ a Jerusalemu. Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, o we Ngai wa Isiraeli ekuuga atĩrĩ: Ta thikĩrĩriai! Nĩngũrehithia mwanangĩko kũndũ gũkũ ũrĩa ũgaatũma mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa ũkaũigua ararakwo nĩ matũ.
And say, Hear ye the word of YHWH, O kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem; Thus saith YHWH of hosts, the Elohim of Israel; Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, the which whosoever heareth, his ears shall tingle.
4 Nĩgũkorwo nĩmandirikĩte na magatũma haha hatuĩke handũ ha ngai cia kũndũ kũngĩ; nĩmacinĩire magongona kũrĩ ngai iria o ene, kana maithe mao, o na kana athamaki a Juda matooĩ, na makaiyũria kũndũ gũkũ thakame ya andũ arĩa matarĩ ũũru mekĩte.
Because they have forsaken me, and have estranged this place, and have burned incense in it unto other elohim, whom neither they nor their fathers have known, nor the kings of Judah, and have filled this place with the blood of innocents;
5 Nĩmakĩĩte kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru gwa kũhooerwo Baali, na gwa gũcinagĩrwo ariũ ao na mwaki matuĩke maruta ma kũrutĩrwo Baali, ũndũ ũrĩa niĩ itaathanire wĩkagwo, kana ngĩũgweta, o na ũndũ ũtarĩ wagĩa meciiria-inĩ makwa.
They have built also the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings unto Baal, which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it into my mind:
6 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, Mwĩmenyererei, tondũ matukũ nĩmarooka rĩrĩa andũ matagacooka gwĩtaga kũndũ gũkũ Tofethi, kana Gĩtuamba kĩa Beni-Hinomu, no gũgeetagwo Gĩtuamba gĩa Kũũraganĩrwo.
Therefore, behold, the days come, saith YHWH, that this place shall no more be called Tophet, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of slaughter.
7 “‘Kũndũ gũkũ nĩkuo ngathũkĩria mĩbango yothe ya Juda na ya Jerusalemu. Nĩngatũma mooragwo na hiũ cia njora nĩ thũ ciao, moko-inĩ ma andũ arĩa mendaga kũmaruta muoyo, nacio ciimba ciao ndĩciheane ituĩke nyama cia kũrĩĩo nĩ nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ na nyamũ cia gĩthaka.
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 hands of them that seek their lives: and their carcases will I give to be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth.
8 Nĩngananga itũũra rĩĩrĩ ndũme rĩtuĩke kũndũ gwa kũnyararwo; arĩa othe makaahĩtũkĩra kuo nĩmakagega na mamanyũrũrie moona ũrĩa nguraro ciao cingĩhĩte.
And I will make this city desolate, and an hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished and hiss because of all the plagues thereof.
9 Nĩngatũma marĩe nyama cia mĩĩrĩ ya ariũ na aarĩ ao, na o mũndũ arĩe nyama cia mwĩrĩ wa mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ hĩndĩ ĩrĩa magaakorwo marĩ na mĩnyamaro nĩ ũndũ wa gũthiũrũrũkĩrio nĩ thũ ciao iria ciendaga kũmaruta muoyo.’
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 straitness, wherewith their enemies, and they that seek their lives, shall straiten them
10 “Ũcooke ũũrage gatigithũ kau, acio mũgaathiĩ nao makĩonaga,
Then shalt thou break the bottle in the sight of the men that go with thee,
11 ũmeere atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ: Nĩngahehenja rũrĩrĩ rũrũ, o na itũũra rĩĩrĩ, o ta ũrĩa mũndũ oragaga nyũngũ ya mũũmbi na ndĩcookaga gũthondekeka ĩtuĩke ngʼima rĩngĩ. Magaathika arĩa makuĩte kũu Tofethi nginya kwage handũ ha gũthikanwo.
And shalt say unto them, Thus saith YHWH 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 them in Tophet, till there be no place to bury.
12 Ũguo nĩguo ngeeka kũndũ gũkũ, o na andũ arĩa matũũraga kuo, ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga. Nĩngatũma itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene rĩhaane o ta Tofethi.
Thus will I do unto this place, saith YHWH, and to the inhabitants thereof, and even make this city as Tophet:
13 Nyũmba iria irĩ Jerusalemu, o na cia athamaki a Juda nĩigathaahio o ta gũkũ Tofethi: nyũmba ciothe iria maacinĩire ũbumba igũrũ rĩacio, makĩũcinĩra mbũtũ ciothe cia njata, na magĩitagĩra ngai ingĩ maruta ma indo cia kũnyuuo.’”
And the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, shall be defiled as the place of Tophet, because of all the houses upon whose roofs they have burned incense unto all the host of heaven, and have poured out drink offerings unto other elohim.
14 Jeremia agĩcooka akĩhũndũka kuuma Tofethi, o kũu Jehova aamũtũmĩte akarathĩre andũ ũhoro, nake akĩrũgama nja ya hekarũ ya Jehova, akĩĩra andũ othe atĩrĩ,
Then came Jeremiah from Tophet, whither YHWH had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of YHWH 's house; and said to all the people,
15 “Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, o Wee Ngai wa Isiraeli, ekuuga atĩrĩ, ‘Ta thikĩrĩriai! Nĩngũrehithĩria itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene, o na tũtũũra tũrĩa tũrĩrigiicĩirie tuothe mwanangĩko ũrĩa wothe ngwetete igũrũ rĩao, nĩ ũndũ nĩmoomirie ngingo, makĩaga gũthikĩrĩria ciugo ciakwa.’”
Thus saith YHWH of hosts, the Elohim 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 hardened their necks, that they might not hear my words.
