Ermiyaas 19
1 Waaqayyo akkana jedha; “Dhaqiitii suphee dhooftuu irraa okkotee suphee bitadhu. Maanguddoota sabaatii fi luboota keessaa namoota muraasa fudhadhuutii,
Thus said YHWH: “Go, and you have acquired a potter’s earthen vessel, and from [the] elderly of the people, and from [the] elderly of the priests,
2 gara Sulula Ben Hinoomitti kan balbala karra qiraacii biraa sana dhaqi. Achittis dubbii ani sitti himu labsi;
and you have gone forth to the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, that [is] at the opening of the gate of the pottery, and have proclaimed there the words that I speak to you,
3 akkanas jedhi; ‘Yaa mootota Yihuudaatii fi saba Yerusaalem dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼaa. Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: Dhaggeeffadhaa! Kunoo, ani balaa gurra nama waan sana dhagaʼu hundatti hin tolle tokko iddoo kanatti nan fida.
and have said, Hear a word of YHWH, you kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem!” Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: “Behold, I am bringing in evil on this place, at which the ears of everyone who is hearing it tingles,
4 Isaan na dhiisanii iddoo kana iddoo waaqota ormaa godhaniiruutii; iddoo kanattis waaqota isaanii yookaan abbootiin isaanii yookaan mootonni Yihuudaa hin beekiniif aarsaa gubamu dhiʼeessaniiru; iddoo kanas dhiiga namoota balleessaa hin qabneetiin guutaniiru.
because that they have forsaken Me, and make known this place, and make incense in it to other gods, that they did not know, they and their fathers, and the kings of Judah, and they have filled this place [with] innocent blood,
5 Isaan ilmaan isaanii aarsaa ibiddaan gubamu godhanii Baʼaaliif dhiʼeessuuf iddoo ol kaʼaa Baʼaaliif ijaaraniiru; kunis waan ani isaan hin ajajin yookaan maqaa hin dhaʼin yookaan yaada koo keessa iyyuu hin turinii dha.
and have built the high places of Ba‘al to burn their sons with fire, burnt-offerings to Ba‘al, that I did not command, nor spoke of, nor did it come up on My heart.
6 Kanaafuu beekkadhaa; barri itti namoonni iddoo sanaan, siʼachi Sulula Qalmaa jedhanii waamuu malee Toofet yookaan Sulula Ben Hinoom hin jenne ni dhufa, jedha Waaqayyo.
Therefore, behold, days are coming,” a declaration of YHWH, “and this place is no longer called The Tophet and Valley of the Son of Hinnom, but Valley of the Slaughter.
7 “‘Ani iddoo kanatti karoora Yihuudaatii fi karoora Yerusaalem nan diiga; akka isaan fuula diinota isaanii duratti, harka warra lubbuu isaanii galaafachuu barbaadaniitti goraadeedhaan dhuman nan godha; reeffa isaanii immoo allaattii samiitii fi bineensota lafaatiif nyaata godhee nan kenna.
And I have made void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place, and have caused them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hand of those seeking their life, and I have given their carcass for food to the bird of the heavens, and to the beast of the earth,
8 Ani magaalaa kana onsee waan sodaa fi qoosaa nan godha; kan achiin darbu hundi sababii madaa ishee hundaatiif dinqisiifatee isheetti kolfa.
and I have made this city for a desolation, and for a hissing, everyone passing by it is astonished, and hisses for all its plagues.
9 Ani akka isaan foon ilmaan isaaniitii fi intallan isaanii nyaatan nan godha; isaanis yeroo diinonni isaanii kanneen lubbuu isaanii galaafachuu barbaadan sun marsanii isaan dhiphisanitti foon walii isaanii nyaatu.’
And I have caused them to eat the flesh of their sons, and the flesh of their daughters, and they each eat the flesh of his friend, in the siege and in the constriction with which their enemies constrict them, and those seeking their life.”
10 “Ergasii okkotee sana fuula warra si wajjin deemanii duratti cabsiitii
“And you have broken the bottle before the eyes of the men who are going with you,
11 akkana isaaniin jedhi; ‘Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: Akkuma okkoteen suphee dhooftuu kun erga caccabee booddee deebiʼee haaromfamuu hin dandeenye sana ani saba kanaa fi magaalaa kana nan caccabsa; sababii iddoon itti nama awwaalan biraa hin jirreef namoonni Toofetitti reeffa awwaalu.
and have said to them, Thus said YHWH of Hosts: Thus I break this people and this city, as one breaks the potter’s vessel, that is not able to be repaired again, and in Tophet they bury—without place to bury;
12 Ani iddoo kanaa fi warra as jiraatanitti waan kana nan fida, jedha Waaqayyo. Magaalaa kanas akkuma Toofet nan godha.
so I do to this place—a declaration of YHWH—and to its inhabitants, so as to make this city as Tophet;
13 Manneen Yerusaalem keessaatii fi manneen mootota Yihuudaa jechuunis manneen jarri bantii isaanii irratti urjiiwwan samii hundaaf ixaana aarsanii waaqota biraafis dhibaayyuu dhibaafatan sun hundi akkuma iddoo Toofet kanaa ni xureeffamu.’”
and the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, have been as the place of Tophet—defiled, even all the houses on whose roofs they have made incense to all the host of the heavens, so as to pour out oblations to other gods.”
14 Ermiyaasis ergasii Toofet iddoo Waaqayyo akka inni achitti raajii dubbatuuf itti isa erge sanaa deebiʼee oobdii mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessa dhaabatee saba hundaan akkana jedhe;
And Jeremiah comes in from Tophet, to where YHWH had sent him to prophesy, and he stands in the court of the house of YHWH, and he says to all the people:
15 “Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha; ‘Mee dhaggeeffadhaa! Sababii isaan mata jabeeyyii taʼanii dubbii koo dhagaʼuu didaniif balaa ani isaanitti labsee ture hunda magaalaa kanaa fi gandoota naannoo ishee jiranitti nan fida.’”
“Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Behold, I am bringing to this city, and on all its cities, all the calamity that I have spoken against it, for they have hardened their neck to not hear My words!”
