< Jeremiah 19 >

1 This is what the Lord has said: Go and get for money a potter's bottle made of earth, and take with you some of the responsible men of the people and of the priests;
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Andeha mividy tavoara tanimanga, ary makà anti-panahy amin’ ny vahoaka sy anti-panahy amin’ ny mpisorona,
2 And go out to the valley of the son of Hinnom, by the way into the door of broken pots, and there say in a loud voice the words which I will give you;
dia mivoaha ho any amin’ ny Lohasahan’ ny taranak’ i Hinoma, izay eo anoloan’ ny vavahady Harsota, ary torio eo ny teny izay holazaiko aminao,
3 Say, Give ear to the word of the Lord, O kings of Judah and people of Jerusalem; the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said, See, I will send evil on this place which will be bitter to the ears of anyone hearing of it.
ka ataovy hoe: Mihainoa ny tenin’ i Jehovah, ry mpanjakan’ ny Joda sy ry mponina ato Jerosalema! Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Indro, hahatonga loza amin’ ity tanàna ity Aho izay mandre izany, dia hangintsingintsina ny sofiny
4 Because they have given me up, and made this place a strange place, burning perfumes in it to other gods, of whom they and their fathers and the kings of Judah had no knowledge; and they have made this place full of the blood of those who have done no wrong;
satria efa nahafoy Ahy izy ka nahatonga ity tanàna ity ho hafahafa, fa nandoro ditin-kazo manitra tato ho an’ andriamani-kafa, izay tsy fantany, na fantatry ny razany, na ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda, sady efa nameno ran’ ny marina ity tanàna ity
5 And they have put up the high places of the Baal, burning their sons in the fire; a thing which was not ordered by me, and it was never in my mind:
ary nanorina ny fitoerana avo ho an’ i Bala handoroany ny zanany ho fanatitra dorana ho an’ i Bala, izay tsy nandidiako, na nolazaiko, na tao an-tsaiko akory aza.
6 For this cause, see, a time is coming, says the Lord, when this place will no longer be named Topheth, or, The valley of the son of Hinnom, but, The valley of Death.
Koa, indro, avy ny andro, hoy Jehovah, izay tsy hanaovana ity fitoerana ity intsony hoe Tofeta, na Lohasahan’ ny taranak’ i Hinoma, fa Lohasaha Famonoana kosa.
7 I will make the purpose of Judah and Jerusalem come to nothing in this place; I will have them put to the sword by their haters, and by the hands of those who have designs on their life; and their dead bodies I will give to be food for the birds of heaven and the beasts of the earth.
Ary hofoanako amin’ ity tanàna ity ny fisainan’ ny Joda sy Jerosalema, ka hataoko lavon-tsabatra eo anoloan’ ny fahavalony sy amin’ ny tànan’ izay mitady ny ainy izy; ary ny fatiny dia homeko ho fihinan’ ny voro-manidina sy ny bibi-dia.
8 And I will make this town a thing of wonder and a cause of surprise; everyone who goes by will be overcome with wonder and make sounds of surprise, because of all its troubles.
Ary ity tanàna ity dia hataoko ho figagana sy ho zavatra mampisitrisitra, ka izay rehetra mandalo azy dia ho gaga sady hisitrisitra noho ny loza rehetra efa namelezana azy.
9 I will make them take the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters for food, they will be making a meal of one another, because of their bitter need and the cruel grip of their haters and those who have made designs against their life.
Ary hampihinaniko ny nofon’ ny zananilahy sy ny nofon’ ny zananivavy izy, ary samy hihinana ny nofon’ ny namany avy izy eo amin’ ny fahirano sy ny fahaterena, izay haneren’ ny fahavalony sy izay mitady ny ainy azy.
10 Then let the potter's bottle be broken before the eyes of the men who have gone with you,
Dia torotoroy eo imason’ ny olona izay miaraka aminao ilay tavoara,
11 And say to them, This is what the Lord of armies has said: Even so will this people and this town be broken by me, as a potter's bottle is broken and may not be put together again: and the bodies of the dead will be put in the earth in Topheth, till there is no more room.
ka ataovy aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro: Toy izao no hanorotoroako ity firenena sy ity tanàna ity, dia toy ny famakin’ ny mpanefy tanimanga ny vilany tany, ka tsy azo atambatra intsony; ary any Tofeta aza no handevenany noho ny tsi-fisian-tany hafa handevenana.
12 This is what I will do to this place, says the Lord, and to its people, making this town like Topheth:
Dia toy izany no hataoko amin’ ity tanàna ity sy amin’ izay mponina ato, ka dia hatao tahaka an’ i Tofeta ity tanàna ity, hoy Jehovah.
13 And the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, which they have made unclean, will be like the place of Topheth, even all the houses on whose roofs perfumes have been burned to all the army of heaven, and drink offerings drained out to other gods.
Ary ny tranon’ i Jerosalema sy ny tranon’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda dia ho tonga maloto tahaka an’ i Tofeta, dia ny trano rehetra izay nandoroany ditin-kazo manitra teo an-tampony ho an’ izay rehetra eny amin’ ny lanitra sy nanidinany fanatitra aidina ho an’ izay andriamani-kafa.
14 Then Jeremiah came from Topheth, where the Lord had sent him to give the prophet's word; and he took his place in the open square of the Lord's house, and said to all the people,
Ary Jeremia dia tonga avy tany Tofeta, izay nanirahan’ i Jehovah azy haminany, ka nitsangana teo amin’ ny kianjan’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah izy, dia nanao tamin’ ny vahoaka rehetra hoe:
15 The Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: See, I will send on this town and on all her towns all the evil which I have said; because they made their necks stiff, so that they might not give ear to my words.
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Indro, hataoko mihatra amin’ ity tanàna ity sy amin’ ny zana-bohiny rehetra ny loza rehetra izay nolazaiko hatao aminy noho ny nanamafiany ny hatony tsy hihainoany ny teniko.
