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 said Yahweh, “Go, and buy a potter’s earthen container, and take some of the elders of the people and of the elders 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 out to the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the gate Harsith, and proclaim there the words that I will 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
Say, ‘Hear Yahweh’s word, kings of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel says, “Behold, I will bring evil on this place, which whoever hears, his ears will 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 defiled this place, and have burned incense in it to other gods that they didn’t know—they, their fathers, and 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.
and have built the high places of Baal to burn their children in the fire for burnt offerings to Baal, which I didn’t command, nor speak, which didn’t even enter 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 Yahweh, “that this place will no more be called ‘Topheth’, 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.
“‘“I will make the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem void in this place. I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hand of those who seek their life. I will give their dead bodies to be food for the birds of the sky and for the animals 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.
I will make this city an astonishment and a hissing. Everyone who passes by it will be astonished and hiss because of all its plagues.
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.
I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters. They will each eat the flesh of his friend in the siege and in the distress with which their enemies, and those who seek their life, will distress them.”’
10 Dia torotoroy eo imason’ ny olona izay miaraka aminao ilay tavoara,
“Then you shall break the container in the sight of the men who 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 tell them, ‘Yahweh of Armies says: “Even so I will break this people and this city as one breaks a potter’s vessel, that can’t be made whole again. They will bury in Topheth until there is 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.
This is what I will do to this place,” says Yahweh, “and to its inhabitants, even making 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.
The houses of Jerusalem and the houses of the kings of Judah, which are defiled, will be as the place of Topheth, even all the houses on whose roofs they have burned incense to all the army of the sky 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 Jeremiah came from Topheth, where Yahweh had sent him to prophesy, and he stood in the court of Yahweh’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.
“Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel says, ‘Behold, I will bring on this city and on all its towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it, because they have made their neck stiff, that they may not hear my words.’”
