Jeremiah 19
1 Èyí ní ohun tí Olúwa wí: “Lọ ra ìkòkò lọ́dọ̀ alámọ̀, mú dání lára àwọn àgbàgbà ọkùnrin àti wòlíì.
Thus said Yahweh, Go and buy a potter’s earthen bottle, —and take 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.
Then shalt thou go forth into the valley of Ben-hinnom, which is at the opening of the gate of potsherds; and proclaim there the words which I shall 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 shalt say, —Hear ye the word of Yahweh, O kings of Judah And inhabitants of Jerusalem, —Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts—God of Israel Behold me! bringing in calamity upon this place, which shall cause the ears of every one that heareth it, to 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.
Because they have forsaken me, And have treated this as a foreign place, And have burned incense therein to other gods, which neither they, nor their fathers nor the kings of Judah, have known; 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 have built the high places of Baal for burning up their sons in the fire as ascending-sacrifices to Baal, —Which I commanded not, Nor spake, Neither came it up on my heart,
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, lo! days coming, Declareth Yahweh, When this place shall be called no longer The Topheth, or The Valley of Ben-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 pour out 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 them who seek their life, —
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 give their dead bodies for food, to the bird of the heavens and to the beast of the earth; And I will make this city a desolation and a hissing, —every one that passeth by it, shall be astonished and hiss over all her wounds;
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 suffer them to eat the flesh of their sons, and the flesh of their daughters, yea every one—the flesh of his friend, will they eat, —in the siege and in the straitness, wherewith, their enemies, and they who seek their lives, will straiten 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 who are walking 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 shalt say unto them—Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts—Thus and thus, will I break this people, and this city, As one breaketh the vessel of a potter, which cannot be made whole any more, —And in Topheth, shall they bury, for want of place 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 to this place Declareth Yahweh, And to the inhabitants thereof, —Even making this city like Topheth:
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.’”
Yea, the houses of Jerusalem and the houses of the kings of Judah, shall like the place of Topheth, be places defiled, —even all the houses upon whose roofs they burned incense to all the host of the heavens, and 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 entered Jeremiah out of Topheth, whither Yahweh had sent him to prophesy, —and stood in the court of the house of Yahweh, and said unto 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, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, Behold me! brining in against this city, and upon all the cities thereof, The whole calamity which I have pronounced against her, —Because they stiffened their neck, that they might not hear my words.
