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 says the LORD, Go and get 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 to the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the east gate, and proclaim there the words that I shall tell you,

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 say, Hear you the word of the LORD, O kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem; Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring evil on this place, the which whoever hears, 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 estranged this place, and have burned incense in it to other gods, whom neither they nor their fathers have known, nor the kings of Judah, and 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.

They have built also the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings to Baal, which I commanded not, nor spoke it, neither came it 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, says the LORD, that this place shall no more be called Tophet, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, 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 make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place; and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hands of them that seek their lives: and their carcasses will I give to be meat for the fowls of the heaven, 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 desolate, and an hissing; every one that passes thereby shall be astonished and 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 cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend in the siege and narrow place, with which their enemies, and they that seek their lives, shall straiten them.

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

Then shall you break the bottle in the sight of the men that go with you,

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 shall say to them, Thus says the LORD of hosts; Even so will I break this people and this city, as one breaks a potter’s vessel, that cannot be made whole again: and they shall bury them in Tophet, till there be no place to bury.

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, says the LORD, and to the inhabitants thereof, and even make this city as Tophet:

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 the kings of Judah, shall be defiled as the place of Tophet, because of all the houses on whose roofs they have burned incense to all the host of heaven, and have poured out drink offerings to other 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 came Jeremiah from Tophet, where the LORD had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of the LORD’s house; and said to all the 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 says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring on this city and on all her towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it, because they have hardened their necks, that they might not hear my words.
