Jeremias 19
1 Kastoy ti kinuna ni Yahweh, “Mapanka gumatang iti karamba bayat a kakuyogmo dagiti panglakayen dagiti tattao ken dagiti papadi.
This is another message that Yahweh gave [to me]: “Go and buy a clay jar from a man who makes them. Then take with you some of the elders of the people and leaders of the priests.
2 Kalpasanna, rummuarka iti tanap ti Ben Hinnom a pagserkan ti Ruangan dagiti Naburak a banga, ket sadiay, ipakaammom dagiti sasao nga ibagakto kenka.
Go out [of the city] past the Gate of Broken Pots, to the place [overlooking the dump for broken pottery in] the Ben-Hinnom Valley. Then give them a message.
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.
Say to them, ‘[This message is for] you kings of Judah and [other] people of Jerusalem. Listen to what Yahweh is saying! The Commander of the armies of angels says that he will cause there to be a terrible disaster in [Jerusalem]. Those who hear about it will be stunned/shocked [IDM].
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.
[That will happen] because [you Israeli] people have stopped worshiping me, and have caused this place to be a place where [you worship] foreign gods. You burn sacrifices to gods that neither you nor your ancestors nor [even] the kings of Judah ever heard about. And you have filled this place with the blood of innocent people [whom you have killed].
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.
You have built shrines to honor [your god] Baal, and at those shrines you have [killed] your own children and offered them to be sacrifices to Baal. I never commanded you to do that, I never spoke about doing that, I never even thought about anyone doing that.
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, beware, [because I, ] Yahweh, say that there will be a time when this garbage dump will no longer be called Topheth or Ben-Hinnom Valley; it will be called Slaughter Valley.
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.
In this place I will ruin the plans of [you people who live in] Jerusalem and in [other places in] Judah. I will allow your enemies who want to kill you to kill [many of] you with their swords. [Then] I will allow your corpses to remain on the ground to be food for vultures 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 will [completely destroy] Jerusalem and cause it to become a heap of ruins that people will despise. All the people who pass by will be appalled, and they will be shocked when they see that the city has been destroyed.
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.
I will enable your enemies who want to kill you to surround the city for a long time. [Then the food will be all gone, and you people will be extremely hungry, with the result that] you people in the city will eat the flesh of your own children and your neighbors’ children.’
10 Kalpasanna, burakem ti karamba iti sangoanan dagiti lallaki a kakuyogmo a napan.
[Jeremiah, after you tell that to them], while the people who are with you are watching, smash the jar [that you brought].
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.
Then say to them, ‘This is what the Commander of the armies of angels says: “Just like this jar has been smashed and cannot be repaired, I will smash this city of Jerusalem and other places in Judah. You will bury some of your corpses here in this dump, until there is no more space to bury any more corpses.
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-
That is what I will do to this city and to you people who live here. I will cause this city to be desecrated, like [King Josiah caused Topheth to be] a place that was unfit for people to worship me there.
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.”
The houses in Jerusalem and the palaces of the kings of Judah will be desecrated like this place will be. All the houses where you burned incense on the rooftops to honor the stars [that you worshiped], and where you poured out wine [to be an offering] to your gods, will become (desecrated/unacceptable places for people to worship me).”’”
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,
Then I returned from the garbage dump where Yahweh had sent me to tell them that message. Then I stood in the courtyard of Yahweh’s temple and said this to all the people [who were there]:
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 Commander of the armies of angels says: ‘I will cause there to be a disaster in this city and in the villages around it like I promised, because you people have stubbornly [IDM] refused to pay attention to what I said to you.’”
