Ermiyaas 19
1 Waaqayyo akkana jedha; “Dhaqiitii suphee dhooftuu irraa okkotee suphee bitadhu. Maanguddoota sabaatii fi luboota keessaa namoota muraasa fudhadhuutii,
Thus said the LORD, “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 gara Sulula Ben Hinoomitti kan balbala karra qiraacii biraa sana dhaqi. Achittis dubbii ani sitti himu labsi;
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 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.
Say, ‘Hear the LORD’s word, kings of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel says, “Behold, I will bring evil on this place, which whoever hears, his ears will tingle.
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 they have forsaken me, and have defiled this place, and have burnt 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 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 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 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, the days come,” says the LORD, “that this place will no more be called ‘Topheth’, nor ‘The Valley of the son of Hinnom’, but ‘The valley of 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.
“‘“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 Ani magaalaa kana onsee waan sodaa fi qoosaa nan godha; kan achiin darbu hundi sababii madaa ishee hundaatiif dinqisiifatee isheetti kolfa.
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 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.’
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 “Ergasii okkotee sana fuula warra si wajjin deemanii duratti cabsiitii
“Then you shall break the container in the sight of the men who go 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 shall tell them, ‘The LORD 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 Ani iddoo kanaa fi warra as jiraatanitti waan kana nan fida, jedha Waaqayyo. Magaalaa kanas akkuma Toofet nan godha.
This is what I will do to this place,” says the LORD, “and to its inhabitants, even making this city as Topheth.
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.’”
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 burnt incense to all the army of the sky and have poured out drink offerings 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;
Then Jeremiah came from Topheth, 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 “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.’”
“The LORD 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.’”
