Jeremias 19
1 Kastoy ti kinuna ni Yahweh, “Mapanka gumatang iti karamba bayat a kakuyogmo dagiti panglakayen dagiti tattao ken dagiti papadi.
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 Kalpasanna, rummuarka iti tanap ti Ben Hinnom a pagserkan ti Ruangan dagiti Naburak a banga, ket sadiay, ipakaammom dagiti sasao nga ibagakto kenka.
and go through the Broken Pottery Gate to the valley of Ben-hinnom. Announce this message I'm giving you.
3 Ibagam, 'Denggenyo ti sao ni Yahweh, dakayo nga ari ti Juda ken dagiti agnanaed iti Jerusalem! Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin a Dios ti Israel, “Dumngegkayo, umadanin ti panangiyegko iti didigra iti daytoy a lugar, ket ti lapayag ti tunggal makangngeg iti daytoy ket agkintayegto.
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 Aramidek daytoy gapu ta tinallikudandak ken tinulawanda daytoy a lugar. Iti daytoy a lugar ti nangidataganda kadagiti datonda kadagiti didiosen a saanda nga am-ammo. Isuda ken dagiti kapuonanda ken dagiti ari ti Juda ket pinunno pay daytoy a lugar iti dara ti awan basolna.
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 Nangipatakderda kadagiti altar nga agpaay kenni Baal a pagdaydayawan tapno pangipuoranda kadagiti annakda a lallaki a kas daton a maipuor amin para kenkuana-maysa a banag a saanko nga imbilin. Saanko nga imbaga nga aramidenda daytoy, wenno pulos a saan a simmagid iti panunotko daytoy.
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 Isu a dumngegkayo, umadanin dagiti aldaw-kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh-inton saanen a maawagan a Tofet daytoy a disso, ti tanap ti Ben Hinnom, ta agbalinto daytoy a tanap ti Pagpatayan.
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 Iti daytoy a lugar, pagbalinekto nga awan serserbina dagiti panggep ti Juda ken Jerusalem. Ipaluboskonto a mapasagda babaen iti kampilan dagiti kabusorda ken babaen iti ima dagiti mangpapatay kadakuada. Kalpasanna, ipakanko dagiti bangkayda kadagiti billit iti tangatang ken kadagiti narungsot nga ayup iti daga.
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 Ket pagbalinekto daytoy a siudad a nadadael unay ken pagsakuntipan, ta siasinoman a lumabas iti daytoy ket agpigerger ken agsakuntip gapu kadagiti amin a pannakadidigrana.
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 Ipalubosko a kanenda dagiti lasag dagiti annakda a lallaki ken babbai; tunggal tao ket ibusennanto ti lasag ti kaarrubana gapu iti pannakalakub ken leddaang nga inyeg kadakuada dagiti kabusorda ken dagiti tattao a mangpapatay kadakuada.
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 Kalpasanna, burakem ti karamba iti sangoanan dagiti lallaki a kakuyogmo a napan.
Then smash the jar in front of the people with you.
11 Ibagamto kadakuada, 'Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin: Kastoy met laeng a banag ti aramidek kadagitoy a tattao ken iti daytoy a siudad—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh-kas iti panangburak ni Jeremias iti karamba tapno saanen a matarimaan manen. Ipunponto dagiti tattao dagiti natay idiay Tofet agingga nga awanton ti nabatbati a lugar para kadagiti natay.
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 Kastoyto ti aramidek iti daytoy a lugar ken kadagiti agnanaed iti daytoy inton aramidek a kas iti Tofet daytoy a siudad-kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh-
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 isu a dagiti babbalay ti Jerusalem ken dagiti ari ti Juda ket agbalinto a kas iti Tofet-amin dagiti babbalay a nausar dagiti tuktok ti atepda a nagdaydayawan dagiti managbasol a tattao kadagiti amin a bituen iti langit ken nangibukbokanda kadagiti daton a mainum para kadagiti didiosen.”
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 Kalpasanna, pimmanaw ni Jeremias idiay Tofet a nangibaonan kenkuana ni Yahweh tapno mangipadto. Nagtakder isuna iti paraangan ti balay ni Yahweh ket kinunana kadagiti amin a tattao,
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 “Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin a Dios ti Israel, ‘Dumngegkayo, umadanin ti panangiyegko iti daytoy a siudad ken kadagiti amin nga ilina iti amin a didigra nga impakaammok maibusor iti daytoy, agsipud ta nagsukirda ken saanda a dimngeg kadagiti sasaok.'”
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.
