Jeremiah 19
1 Èyí ní ohun tí Olúwa wí: “Lọ ra ìkòkò lọ́dọ̀ alámọ̀, mú dání lára àwọn àgbàgbà ọkùnrin àti wòlíì.
Thus said the Lord, Go and buy a bottle from a maker of earthenware, and [take] some of the elders of the people, and of the elders of the priests;
2 Kí o sì lọ sí àfonífojì ọmọ Beni-Hinnomu, níwájú ẹnu ibodè Harsiti, níbẹ̀ ni kí o sì kéde gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ tí èmi yóò sọ fún ọ.
And go forth unto the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the gate Charsith, and proclaim there the words that I will speak unto thee.
3 Kí o sì wí pé, ‘Gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa ẹ̀yin ọba àwọn Juda àti ẹ̀yin ará Jerusalẹmu. Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun Ọlọ́run Israẹli sọ. Dẹtí sí mi! Èmi yóò mú ìparun wá síbí, etí gbogbo wọn tó bá gbọ́ ọ yóò hó yaya.
And say, Hear ye the word of the Lord, O kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will bring evil over this place, so that the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle.
4 Nítorí wọ́n ti gbàgbé mi, wọ́n sì ti sọ ibí di ilé fún òrìṣà àjèjì; wọ́n ti sun ẹbọ nínú rẹ̀ fún òrìṣà tí àwọn baba wọn tàbí tí ọba Juda kò mọ̀ rí, wọ́n ti fi ẹ̀jẹ̀ aláìṣẹ̀ kún ilẹ̀ yìí.
For the reason that they have forsaken me, and have defiled this place, and have burnt incense in it unto other gods, which they had not known, either they or their fathers, or the kings of Judah, and have filled this place with the blood of innocents;
5 Wọ́n ti kọ́ ibi gíga fún Baali láti sun ọmọkùnrin wọn gẹ́gẹ́ bí ohun ẹbọ sísun sí Baali—èyí tí èmi kò pàṣẹ láti ṣe, tí èmi kò sì sọ, tàbí tí kò sì ru sókè láti inú ọkàn mi.
And they have built the high-places of Ba'al, to burn their sons with fire as burnt-offerings unto Ba'al, which I had not commanded, nor spoken, and which had not come into my mind:
6 Nítorí náà ṣọ́ra ọjọ́ ń bọ̀ ni Olúwa wí nígbà tí àwọn ènìyàn kì yóò pe ibí ní Tofeti mọ́ tàbí àfonífojì ọmọ Hinnomu, ṣùgbọ́n àfonífojì Ìpakúpa.
Therefore, behold, days are coming, saith the Lord, that this place shall no more be called The Thopheth, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but, The valley of slaughter.
7 “‘Ní ibí yìí ni èmi yóò ti pa èrò Juda àti Jerusalẹmu run. Èmí yóò mú wọn ṣubú nípa idà níwájú àwọn ọ̀tá wọn, lọ́wọ́ àwọn tí ó ń wá ẹ̀mí wọn. Èmi yóò sì fi òkú wọn ṣe oúnjẹ fún àwọn ẹyẹ ojú ọ̀run àti ẹranko ilẹ̀.
And I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place; and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hand of those that seek their life: and I will give their carcasses as food unto the fowls of the heaven, and unto the beasts of the earth.
8 Èmi yóò sọ ìlú yìí di ahoro àti ohun ẹ̀gàn, gbogbo àwọn tí ń kọjá yóò bẹ̀rù wọn yóò sì máa fòyà nítorí gbogbo ọgbẹ́ rẹ̀.
And I will render this city desolate, and an [object of] derision: every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished and hiss because of all its plagues.
9 Èmi yóò mú kí wọ́n jẹ ẹran-ara ọmọ wọn ọkùnrin àti ẹran-ara ọmọ wọn obìnrin, ẹnìkínní yóò sì jẹ ẹran-ara ẹnìkejì, nígbà ìdótì àti ìhámọ́ láti ọwọ́ ọ̀tá wọn, àti àwọn tí ó ń wá ẹ̀mí wọn.’
And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat every one the flesh of his associate, in the siege and straitness, wherewith their enemies, and those that seek their life, shall distress them.
10 “Nígbà náà ni ìwọ yóò fọ́ ìkòkò náà ní ojú àwọn tí ó bá ọ lọ.
Then shalt thou break the bottle before the eyes of the men that are going with thee.
11 Kí o sì sọ fún wọn pé, ‘Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí. Èmi a fọ́ orílẹ̀-èdè yìí àti ìlú yìí gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìkòkò amọ̀ yìí ṣe fọ́ tí kò sì ní sí àtúnṣe. Wọn a sì sin àwọn òkú sí Tofeti títí tí kò fi ní sí ààyè mọ́.
And thou shalt say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, In this manner will I break this people and this city, as one breaketh a potter's vessel, that cannot be restored again; and in Thopheth shall they bury, for want of room to bury.
12 Èyí ni ohun tí èmi yóò ṣe sí ibí yìí àti àwọn tí ń gbé ní ibí yìí ni Olúwa wí. Èmi yóò mú ìlú yìí dàbí Tofeti.
Thus will I do unto this place, saith the Lord, and to its inhabitants, and to make this city as Thopheth:
13 Àwọn ilé tí ó wà ní Jerusalẹmu àti ti ọba ìlú Juda ni a ó sọ di àìmọ́ bí Tofeti, gbogbo ilé tí wọ́n ti ń sun tùràrí ni orí òrùlé sí gbogbo ogun ọ̀run, tí a sì ń rú ẹbọ mímu sí ọlọ́run mìíràn.’”
And the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, which are unclean, shall become as the place of the Thopheth, with all the houses upon the roofs of which they have burnt incense to all the host of heaven, and have poured out drink-offerings to other gods.
14 Jeremiah sì padà láti Tofeti níbi tí Olúwa rán an sí láti sọ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ ó sì dúró ní gbangba tẹmpili Olúwa, ó sì sọ fún gbogbo ènìyàn pé,
Then came Jeremiah from the Thopheth, whither the Lord had sent him to prophesy; and he placed himself in the court of the house of the Lord; and said to all the people,
15 “Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun, Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí: ‘Tẹ́tí sílẹ̀! Èmi yóò mú ìdààmú tí mo ti sọ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ rẹ̀ bá ìlú yìí àti ìgbèríko tí ó yí i ká, nítorí ọlọ́rùn líle ni wọ́n, wọn kò si ní fẹ́ fetí sí ọ̀rọ̀ mi.’”
Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon all its towns all the evil that I have spoken against it; because they have hardened their neck, so as not to hear my words.
