1 Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, “Tafi ka sayo tulu a wurin mai ginin tukwane. Ka ɗauki waɗansu dattawan jama’a da kuma na firistoci
This is what the Lord says: Go and buy a clay jar from a potter. Take some of the elders of the people and leaders of the priests with you,
2 ku fita zuwa Kwarin Ben Hinnom, kusa da mashigin Ƙofar Kasko. A can ka furta maganganun da na faɗa maka,
and go through the Broken Pottery Gate to the valley of Ben-hinnom. Announce this message I'm giving you.
3 ka ce, ‘Ku ji maganar Ubangiji, ya sarakunan Yahuda da kuma mutanen Urushalima. Ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki, Allah na Isra’ila, yana cewa ku saurara! Zan kawo masifa a wannan wuri, wanda duk ya ji, kunnuwansa za su kaɗa.
Tell them, Listen to what the Lord says, kings of Judah and people living in Jerusalem. This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I am going to bring down on this place such a disaster that it will make the ears of anyone who hears about it ring.
4 Gama sun yashe ni suka kuma mai da wannan wuri ya zama na baƙin alloli; sun ƙone hadayu a cikinsa wa allolin da ko su ko kakanninsu ko sarakunan Yahuda ba su taɓa sani ba, suka kuma cika wannan wuri da jini marasa laifi.
My people have deserted me and have made this a place where foreign gods are worshiped. They have burned incense in it to other gods that they and their forefathers and the kings of Judah never knew anything about. They have filled this place with the blood of innocent people.
5 Suka gina masujadai na kan tudu na Ba’al don su ƙona’ya’yansu maza a cikin wuta a matsayin hadaya ga Ba’al abin da ban umarta ba, ban ambata ba, bai kuma zo mini ba.
They have built pagan shrines to Baal where they burn their children in the fire as offerings to Baal. This is something I never commanded or even mentioned. I never even thought of such a thing!
6 Saboda haka ku lura, kwanaki suna zuwa, in ji Ubangiji, sa’ad da mutane ba za su ƙara ce da wannan wuri Tofet ko Kwarin Ben Hinnom ba, amma za su ce da shi Kwarin Kisa.
So watch out! The time is coming, declares the Lord, when instead of Topheth and the Valley of Hinnom this place will be called the Valley of Killing.
7 “‘A wannan wuri zan lalace dabarun Yahuda da na Urushalima. Zan sa a kashe su da takobi a gaban abokan gābansu, a hannuwan waɗanda suke neman ransu, zan kuma ba da gawawwakinsu su zama abinci ga tsuntsayen sararin sama da kuma namun jeji.
Right here in this place I'm going to spoil the plans of Judah and Jerusalem. I will let their enemies who want to kill them come and do exactly that. Their dead bodies will be food for birds of prey and wild animals.
8 Zan ragargazar da wannan birni in mai da shi abin reni, duk wanda ya wuce zai yi mamaki ya kuma yi tsaki saboda dukan masifunsa.
I'm going to make this city desolate, a place that is mocked. Everyone who passes by will be horrified, shocked by all its damage.
9 Zan sa su ci naman’ya’yansu maza da mata, za su kuma ci naman juna a lokacin damuwar ƙawanya da abokan gāban da suke neman ransu za su yi musu.’
The siege brought by their enemies who want to kill them will be so terrible that I will make them eat each other, even their own sons and daughters.
10 “Sa’an nan ka fasa tulun yayinda waɗanda suka tafi tare da kai suna duba,
Then smash the jar in front of the people with you.
11 ka kuma ce musu, ‘Ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki yana cewa zan farfasa wannan al’umma da wannan birni kamar yadda aka farfasa wannan tulu mai ginin tukwane ba kuwa zai gyaru ba. Za a binne matattu a Tofet har sai ba sauran wuri.
Tell them: this is what the Lord Almighty says: I'm going to smash this nation and this city, just like a clay jar is smashed so it can't ever be repaired. People will bury their dead in Topheth until it's full.
12 Ga abin da zan yi wa wannan wuri da waɗanda suke zaune a nan, in ji Ubangiji. Zan mai da wannan birni kamar Tofet.
This is what I'm going to do to this place and to the people who live here, declares the Lord. I will turn this city into Topheth.
13 Gidaje a Urushalima da waɗannan na sarakunan Yahuda za su ƙazantu kamar wannan wuri, Tofet, dukan gidajen da suke ƙone turare a kan rufi wa duk rundunan taurari suna kuma zuba hadayun sha ga sauran alloli.’”
All the houses of Jerusalem and the palaces of the kings of Judah will become unclean just like Topheth, because they are all the houses whose rooftops they used to burn incense to the sun, moon, and stars, and poured out drink offerings to other gods.
14 Sa’an nan Irmiya ya komo daga Tofet, inda Ubangiji ya aike shi don yă yi annabci, ya tsaya a filin haikalin Ubangiji ya ce wa mutane duka,
Jeremiah returned from Topheth, where the Lord had sent him to deliver this message. He went and stood in the court of the Lord's Temple and announced to everyone,
15 “Ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki, Allah na Isra’ila, yana cewa, ‘Ku saurara! Zan kawo wa wannan birni da ƙauyukan da suke kewayensa kowace masifar da na furta a kansu, domin sun yi taurinkai, ba su kuwa saurari maganata ba.’”
This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Watch out! I am about to bring down on this city and on all its surrounding villages every disaster I warned them about, because they have stubbornly refused to listen to what I say.
