< Jeremia 19 >

1 Hoe t’Iehovà: Miviliaña zonjo-tane raike amy mpanao valàñe-taney, le min­desa roandria’ ondatio, naho zokem-pisoroñe;
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 vaho mionjona mb’am-bava­tane’ i Ben-Hinome, mb’am-pimoahañe an-dalambey atiñanam-b’eo, le saontsio eo o tsara ho taroñeko ama’oo,
and go through the Broken Pottery Gate to the valley of Ben-hinnom. Announce this message I'm giving you.
3 ami’ty hoe: Janjiño ty tsara’ Iehovà, ry mpanjaka’ Iehodào, naho ry mpimone’ Ierosalaimeo; hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, Andrianañahare’ Israele: Ingo fa hampombako hankàñe ty toetse toy, hampitsantsàñe ze fonga ravembia hijanjiñe aze;
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 amy te naforintse’ iereo iraho, naho nampialihe’ iereo ty toetse toy, naho nañemboke tsotse aman-drahare ila’e tsy nifohi’ iereo ndra o roae’ iareoo, ndra o mpanjaka’ Iehodào; nilipore’ iereo lio-màliñe ty toetse toy;
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 le nandranjia’ iareo tamboho t’i Baale, hamorototo o ana’ iareoo añ’afo ao ho soroñañe amy Baale; ie tsy nililieko, tsy nitaroñako naho tsy nimoak’am-pitsakoreako ao.
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 Aa le ho tondroke ty andro, hoe t’Iehovà, te tsy ho tokaveñe ty hoe Tofete ty toetse toy, ndra ty hoe Vavatanen’ ana’ i Hinome, te mone ty Vavatanem-panjamanañe;
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 Le ho koaheko ami’ty toetse toy ty fanoroan-keve’ Iehodà naho Ierosalaime; le hampikorovoheko fibara añ’atrefa’ o rafelahi’ iareoo, naho am-pità’ o mipay ty fiai’ iareoo; vaho ho fahanako ami’ty lolo’ iareo o voron-dikerañeo naho o bibi’ty tane toio;
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 naho hanoeko halatsañe ty rova toy, naho fikosihañe; le hene ho vereñe ze miary eo vaho hikosìke ty amo hekoheko iabio;
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 le hampikamaeko iareo ty sandri’ o ana-dahi’eo naho ty nofo’ o anak’ampela’eo, naho songa hikama ty nofo’ o rañe’eo, amy fañarikatohañey naho amy fanjirañey, vaho amy haloviloviañe hanoe’ o rafelahi’e mipay ty fiai’ iareooy.
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 Ie amy zao, jeñaho am-pahaisaha’ indaty mindre ama’o rey i zonjoñey,
Then smash the jar in front of the people with you.
11 vaho ano ty hoe: Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Hanahake izay ty hampidemohako ondaty retoa naho ty rova toy, hambañe ami’ty fampijeñafañe ty zonjòm-panao valàñe tane, t’ie tsy ho lefe amboareñe ka; le halenteke e Tofete ao iereo amy t’ie tsy ho aman-tanem-pandeveñañe.
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 Izay ty hanoako ami’ty toetse toy, hoe t’Iehovà, naho amo mpimone’eo, soa te hampanahafeko amy Tofete ty rova toy,
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 le ho hambañe amy Tofete o anjomba’ Ierosalaimeo, naho o anjombam-panjaka’ Iehodà fa vinetao, toe ze hene anjomba nañemboke amo valobohòn-dikerañeo, vaho nidoañañe enga-rano amo ‘ndrahare ila’eo.
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 Ie pok’eo boake Tofete t’Iirmeà, amy nañiraha’ Iehovà aze hitoky; le nijohañe an-kiririsa’ i anjomba’ Iehovày eo nanao ty hoe am’ondaty iabio:
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 Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, Andrianañahare’ Israele: Inao, te hafe­tsako ami’ty rova toy naho amo tanà’e iabio o haliforan-kankàñe nitseizakoo; amy t’ie nampigan-kàtoke, tsy nijanjiñe o entakoo.
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.
