Yeremia 19
1 Bwana akasema hivi, “Nenda ukanunue chupa ya udongo wakati ukiwa na wazee wa watu na makuhani.
Thus he said Yahweh go and you will buy a bottle of a potter of earthenware and some of [the] elders of the people and some of [the] elders of the priests.
2 Kisha uende mpaka bonde la Ben Hinomu wakati wa kuingia kwenye mlango uliovunjika wa mfinyanzi, na huko utangaza maneno nitakayokuambia.
And you will go out to [the] valley of Ben Hinnom which [is at] [the] entrance of [the] gate of (the potsherd *Q(k)*) and you will proclaim there the words which I will speak to you.
3 Ukisema, 'Sikilizeni neno la Bwana, wafalme wa Yuda na wenyeji wa Yerusalemu! Bwana wa majeshi, Mungu wa Israeli, asema hivi, “Tazameni, na nitaletea msiba juu ya mahali hapa, na masikio ya kila mtu anayesikia yatawaka.
And you will say hear [the] word of Yahweh O kings of Judah and [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel here I [am] about to bring calamity on the place this which every [one who] hears of it they will tingle ears his.
4 Nitafanya hivyo kwa sababu wameniacha na kudharau mahali hapa. Katika mahali hapa wanatoa sadaka kwa miungu mingine ambayo hawakuijua. Wao, baba zao, na wafalme wa Yuda pia wamejaza mahali damu isiyo na hatia.
Because - that they have forsaken me and they have treated as foreign the place this and they have made smoke in it to gods other which not they knew them they and ancestors their and [the] kings of Judah and they have filled the place this [the] blood of innocent [ones].
5 Walimjengea Baali mahali pa juu na kuwachoma watoto wao kwa moto kama sadaka za kuteketezwa kwake-kitu ambacho sijawaamuru au kutaja, wala hakuingia ndani ya akili yangu.
And they have built [the] high places of Baal to burn children their in the fire burnt offerings to Baal which not I commanded and not I spoke and not it came up on heart my.
6 Kwa hiyo, tazama, siku zinakuja-hili ndilo tamko la Bwana-ambapo mahali hapa hapataitwa tena Tofethi, bonde la Ben Hinomu, kwa kuwa litakuwa bonde la machinjo.
Therefore here! days [are] coming [the] utterance of Yahweh and not it will be called to the place this again Topheth and [the] valley of Ben Hinnom that except [the] valley of slaughter.
7 Katika mahali hapa nitatamgua mipango ya Yuda na Yerusalemu. Nitawafanya wapate kuuawa kwa upanga mbele ya adui zao na kwa mkono wa wale wanaotafuta maisha yao. Ndipo nitawapa miili yao kuwa chakula cha ndege wa angani na wanyama wa dunia.
And I will make void [the] plan of Judah and Jerusalem in the place this and I will make fall them by the sword before enemies their and by [the] hand of [those who] seek life their and I will give corpse[s] their to food to [the] bird[s] of the heavens and to [the] animal[s] of the earth.
8 Ndipo nitaifanya mji huu kuwa uharibifu na kitu cha kuzomewa, kila mtu anayepita atashangaa na kuzomea kwa sababu mateso yake yote.
And I will make the city this into a waste and into a hissing every [one who] passes by at it he will be appalled and he may hiss on all wounds its.
9 Nitawafanya wale nyama ya wana wao na binti zao; kila mtu atakula mwili wa jirani yake katika dhiki na katika uchungu ambao umeletwa kwao na maadui zao na wale wanaotaka maisha yao.'”
And I will make eat them [the] flesh of sons their and [the] flesh of daughters their and everyone [the] flesh of neighbor his they will eat in [the] siege and in [the] distress which they will press them enemies their and [those who] seek life their.
10 Kisha utavunja chupa ya udongo mbele ya watu ambao walikwenda pamoja nawe.
And you will break the bottle to [the] eyes of the men who go with you.
11 Uwaambie,'Bwana wa majeshi asema hivi: nitafanya jambo hili kwa watu hawa na mji huu- hii ndiyo ahadi ya Bwana, kama vile Yeremia alivyovunja chupa ya udongo ili isiweze kutengenezwa tena. Watu watazika wafu huko Tofethi hata hapatabaki mahali pa kuzika.
And you will say to them thus he says - Yahweh of hosts thus I will break the people this and the city this just as someone breaks [the] vessel of the potter which not it will be able to be repaired again and in Topheth people will bury from not room to bury.
12 Hivyo ndivyo nitakavyopafanya mahali hapa na wenyeji wake nitakapofanya jiji hili kama Tofethi, hili ndio tamko la Bwana;
Thus I will do to the place this [the] utterance of Yahweh and to inhabitants its and to make the city this like Topheth.
13 kwa hiyo nyumba za Yerusalemu na wafalme wa Yuda watakuwa kama Tofethi, nyumba zote zilizo juu ya watu waovu wanaoabudu nyota zote za mbinguni na kumwaga sadaka za kinywaji kwa miungu mingine.'”
And they will be [the] houses of Jerusalem and [the] houses of [the] kings of Judah like [the] place of Topheth the unclean [things] to all the houses which people made smoke on roofs their to all [the] host of the heavens and they poured out drink offerings to gods other.
14 Ndipo Yeremia akatoka Tofethi, ambako Bwana amemtuma ahubiri. Akasimama katika ua wa nyumba ya Bwana, akawaambia watu wote,
And he came Jeremiah from Topheth where he had sent him Yahweh there to prophesy and he stood in [the] court of [the] house of Yahweh and he said to all the people.
15 “Bwana wa majeshi, Mungu wa Israeli, asema hivi, Tazameni, nitawaletea mji huu na miji yake yote maafa yote niliyonena dhidi yake, kwa kuwa walifanya shingo zao kuwa ngumu na kukataa kusikiliza maneno yangu.'”
Thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel here I ([am] about to bring *Q(k)*) to the city this and on all cities its all the calamity which I have spoken on it for they have stiffened neck their to not to hear words my.
