Jeremia 19

1 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Andeha mividy tavoara tanimanga, ary makà anti-panahy amin’ ny vahoaka sy anti-panahy amin’ ny mpisorona,

Thus saith the Lord: Go, and take a potter’s earthen bottle, and take of the ancients of the people, and of the ancients of the priests:

2 dia mivoaha ho any amin’ ny Lohasahan’ ny taranak’ i Hinoma, izay eo anoloan’ ny vavahady Harsota, ary torio eo ny teny izay holazaiko aminao,

And go forth into the valley of the son of Ennom, which is by the entry of the earthen gate: and there thou shalt proclaim the words that I shall tell thee.

3 ka ataovy hoe: Mihainoa ny tenin’ i Jehovah, ry mpanjakan’ ny Joda sy ry mponina ato Jerosalema! Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Indro, hahatonga loza amin’ ity tanàna ity Aho izay mandre izany, dia hangintsingintsina ny sofiny

And thou shalt say: Hear the word of the Lord, O ye kings of Juda, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem: Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold I will bring an affliction upon this place: so that whoever shall hear it, his ears shall tingle:

4 satria efa nahafoy Ahy izy ka nahatonga ity tanàna ity ho hafahafa, fa nandoro ditin-kazo manitra tato ho an’ andriamani-kafa, izay tsy fantany, na fantatry ny razany, na ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda, sady efa nameno ran’ ny marina ity tanàna ity

Because they have forsaken me, and have profaned this place: and have sacrificed therein to strange gods, whom neither they nor their fathers knew, nor the kings of Juda: and they have filled this place with the blood of innocents.

5 ary nanorina ny fitoerana avo ho an’ i Bala handoroany ny zanany ho fanatitra dorana ho an’ i Bala, izay tsy nandidiako, na nolazaiko, na tao an-tsaiko akory aza.

And they have built the high places of Baalim, to burn their children with fire for a holocaust to Baalim: which I did not command, nor speak of, neither did it once come into my mind.

6 Koa, indro, avy ny andro, hoy Jehovah, izay tsy hanaovana ity fitoerana ity intsony hoe Tofeta, na Lohasahan’ ny taranak’ i Hinoma, fa Lohasaha Famonoana kosa.

Therefore behold the days come, saith the Lord, that this place shall no more be called Topheth, nor the valley of the son of Ennom, but the valley of slaughter.

7 Ary hofoanako amin’ ity tanàna ity ny fisainan’ ny Joda sy Jerosalema, ka hataoko lavon-tsabatra eo anoloan’ ny fahavalony sy amin’ ny tànan’ izay mitady ny ainy izy; ary ny fatiny dia homeko ho fihinan’ ny voro-manidina sy ny bibi-dia.

And I will defeat the counsel of Juda and of Jerusalem in this place: and I will destroy them with the sword in the sight of their enemies, and by the hands of them that seek their lives: and I will give their carcasses to be meat for the fowls of the air, and for the beasts of the earth.

8 Ary ity tanàna ity dia hataoko ho figagana sy ho zavatra mampisitrisitra, ka izay rehetra mandalo azy dia ho gaga sady hisitrisitra noho ny loza rehetra efa namelezana azy.

And I will make this city an astonishent, and a hissing: every one that shall pass by it, shall be astonished, and shall hiss because of all the plagues thereof.

9 Ary hampihinaniko ny nofon’ ny zananilahy sy ny nofon’ ny zananivavy izy, ary samy hihinana ny nofon’ ny namany avy izy eo amin’ ny fahirano sy ny fahaterena, izay haneren’ ny fahavalony sy izay mitady ny ainy azy.

And I will feed them with the flesh of their sons, and with the flesh of their daughters: and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend in the siege, and in the distress wherewith their enemies, and they that seek their lives shall straiten them.

10 Dia torotoroy eo imason’ ny olona izay miaraka aminao ilay tavoara,

And thou shalt break the bottle in the sight of the men that shall go with thee.

11 ka ataovy aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro: Toy izao no hanorotoroako ity firenena sy ity tanàna ity, dia toy ny famakin’ ny mpanefy tanimanga ny vilany tany, ka tsy azo atambatra intsony; ary any Tofeta aza no handevenany noho ny tsi-fisian-tany hafa handevenana.

And thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord of hosts: even so will I break this people, and this city, as the potter’s vessel is broken, which cannot be made whole again: and they shall be buried in Topheth, because there is no other place to bury in.

12 Dia toy izany no hataoko amin’ ity tanàna ity sy amin’ izay mponina ato, ka dia hatao tahaka an’ i Tofeta ity tanàna ity, hoy Jehovah.

Thus will I do to this place, saith the Lord, and to the inhabitants thereof: and I will make this city as Topheth.

13 Ary ny tranon’ i Jerosalema sy ny tranon’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda dia ho tonga maloto tahaka an’ i Tofeta, dia ny trano rehetra izay nandoroany ditin-kazo manitra teo an-tampony ho an’ izay rehetra eny amin’ ny lanitra sy nanidinany fanatitra aidina ho an’ izay andriamani-kafa.

And the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of Juda shall be unclean as the place of Topheth: all the houses upon whose roots they have sacrificed to all the host of heaven, and have poured out drink offerings to strange gods.

14 Ary Jeremia dia tonga avy tany Tofeta, izay nanirahan’ i Jehovah azy haminany, ka nitsangana teo amin’ ny kianjan’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah izy, dia nanao tamin’ ny vahoaka rehetra hoe:

Then Jeremias came from Topheth, whither the Lord had sent him to prophecy, and he stood in the court of the house of the Lord, and said to all people:

15 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Indro, hataoko mihatra amin’ ity tanàna ity sy amin’ ny zana-bohiny rehetra ny loza rehetra izay nolazaiko hatao aminy noho ny nanamafiany ny hatony tsy hihainoany ny teniko.

Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold I will bring in upon this city, and upon all the cities thereof all the evils that I have spoken against it: because they have hardened their necks, and they might not hear my words.
