Jeremaya 19
1 Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, “Jee, zụta otu ite aja site nʼaka ọkpụ ite. Duru ụfọdụ nʼime ndị okenye na ndị nchụaja,
Thus sayth the Lord, Goe, and buy an earthen bottel of a potter, and take of the ancients of the people, and of the ancients of the Priests,
2 jee na Ndagwurugwu nke Ben Hinom, nke dị nso nʼọnụ ụzọ ama Ejuju dị nʼọwụwa anyanwụ. Nọdụ nʼebe ahụ kwupụtara ha okwu ndị m gwara gị.
And goe forth vnto the valley of Ben-hinnom, which is by the entrie of the East gate: and thou shalt preache there the wordes, that I shall tell thee,
3 Sị ha, ‘Nụrụnụ okwu Onyenwe anyị, unu ndị eze Juda, na ndị Jerusalem. Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, onye bụ Chineke Izrel kwuru. Geenụ ntị! Aga m eme ka ihe ọjọọ bịakwasị ala a, ụdị ihe ọjọọ ga-eme ka ntị ọbụla nụrụ ya zụọ wuruwuru.
And shalt say, Heare yee the worde of the Lord, O Kings of Iudah, and inhabitantes of Ierusalem, Thus sayth the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Behold, I will bring a plague vpon this place, the which whosoeuer heareth, his eares shall tingle.
4 Nʼihi na ha ahapụla m, mee ka ebe a ghọọ nke chi ndị mba ọzọ. Ha achụọla aja nsure ọkụ nʼime ya nye chi ndị ahụ ha na nna nna ha, maọbụ ndị eze Juda, na-amaghị. Ha ejirila ọbara ndị aka ha dị ọcha mejupụta ebe a.
Because they haue forsaken me, and prophaned this place, and haue burnt incense in it vnto other gods, whome neyther they, nor their fathers haue knowen, nor the Kings of Iudah (they haue filled this place also with the blood of innocents,
5 Ha ewuola ebe ịchụ aja dị elu nye chi Baal. Nʼelu ya kwa ka ha na-esure ụmụ ha dịka aja nye Baal, bụ nke m na-enyeghị nʼiwu, ekwughịkwa m ya, o nwekwaghị mgbe o ji bata m nʼobi.
And they haue built the hie places of Baal, to burne their sonnes with fire for burnt offrings vnto Baal, which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it into my minde)
6 Ya mere, kpacharanụ anya, nʼihi na ụbọchị ahụ na-abịa, ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri, mgbe ndị mmadụ agaghị akpọkwa ebe a Tofet ma ọ bụkwanụ Ndagwurugwu nke Ben Hinom, kama a ga-akpọ ya Ndagwurugwu Ogbugbu.
Therefore behold, the dayes come, sayth the Lord, that this place shall no more be called Topheth, nor ye valley of Ben-hinnom, but the valley of slaughter.
7 “‘Nʼebe a ka m ga-anọ laa nzube niile nke Juda na Jerusalem nʼiyi. Aga m eme ka ha daa site na mma agha nʼihu ndị iro ha, nʼaka ndị ahụ na-achọsi ndụ ha ike. Aga m enye ụmụ anụ ufe na anụ ọhịa ozu ha dịka nri.
And I will bring the counsell of Iudah and Ierusalem to nought in this place, and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hand of them that seeke their liues: and their carkeises will I giue to be meate for ye foules of the heauen, and to the beastes of the fielde.
8 Aga m ebibi obodo a mee ka ọ ghọọ ihe iju anya na ihe ịma ọsụ. Ndị niile na-esi nʼakụkụ ya agafe ga-anọ nʼọnọdụ iju anya, ha ga-eledakwa ya anya nʼihi ọnya ya niile.
And I will make this citie desolate and an hissing, so that euery one that passeth thereby, shalbe astonished and hisse because of all ye plagues thereof.
9 Aga m emekwa ka ha rie anụ ahụ nke ụmụ ha ndị ikom na ndị inyom. Ha ga-erikwa anụ ahụ ibe ha, nʼihi na ndị iro ha ga-agba ha gburugburu nọchibido ha nʼime oke mkpagbu ka ha bibie ndụ ha.’
And I will feede the with the flesh of their sonnes and with the flesh of their daughters, and euery one shall eate the flesh of his friende in the siege and straitnesse, wherewith their enemies that seeke their liues, shall hold them strait.
10 “Kụwaa ite ahụ mgbe ndị gị na ha so nọ na-ele gị anya.
Then shalt thou breake the bottell in the sight of the men that go with thee,
11 Gwa ha sị, ‘Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile sịrị: Aga m etipịa mba a na obodo a, dịka ite aja nke ọkpụ ite a si daa tipịasịa nʼụzọ a na-apụghị imezikwa ya ọzọ. Ha ga-eli ndị nwụrụ anwụ na Tofet tutu ruo mgbe ohere na-agaghị adịkwa ili ozu ọzọ.
And shalt say vnto them, Thus saith ye Lord of hostes, Euen so will I breake this people and this citie, as one breaketh a potters vessell, that cannot be made whole againe, and they shall bury them in Topheth till there be no place to bury.
12 Ihe dị otu a ka m ga-eme nʼebe a, meekwa ndị bi na ya. Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri. Aga m eme obodo a ka ọ dịrị ka Tofet.
Thus will I doe vnto this place, sayth the Lord, and to the inhabitantes thereof, and I will make this citie like Topheth.
13 Ụlọ niile dị na Jerusalem na ụlọ niile nke ndị eze Juda ka a ga-emerụ dịka ebe a, bụ Tofet, otu a ka a ga-esi merụọkwa ụlọ niile a suree ihe nsure ọkụ na-esi isi ụtọ nʼelu ha nye usuu niile nke eluigwe, wụsakwara chi ndị ọzọ ihe ọṅụṅụ dịka onyinye.’”
For the houses of Ierusalem, and the houses of the Kings of Iudah shalbe defiled as the place of Topheth, because of al the houses vpon whose roofes they haue burnt incense vnto all the host of heauen, and haue powred out drinke offerings vnto other gods.
14 Mgbe Jeremaya si na Tofet, ebe ahụ Onyenwe anyị zigara ya ibu amụma lọta, o guzoro nʼogige ụlọnsọ ukwu Chineke ahụ, gwa ndị mmadụ niile okwu sị ha,
Then came Ieremiah from Topheth, where the Lord had sent him to prophecie, and he stood in the court of the Lordes house, and sayde to all the people,
15 “Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, onye bụ Chineke nke Izrel sịrị, ‘Geenụ ntị! Ana m aga ime ka ihe ọjọọ ahụ m kwuru okwu ya bịakwasị obodo a, na obodo nta niile gbara ya gburugburu, nʼihi na ha bụ ndị isiike, ndị jụrụ ige ntị nʼokwu m.’”
Thus saith the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Beholde, I will bring vpon this citie, and vpon all her townes, all the plagues that I haue pronounced against it, because they haue hardened their neckes, and would not heare my wordes.
