< Jeremiah 19 >

1 Thus saith the Lord: Go, and take a potter’s earthen bottle, and take of the ancients of the people, and of the ancients of the priests:
Èyí ní ohun tí Olúwa wí: “Lọ ra ìkòkò lọ́dọ̀ alámọ̀, mú dání lára àwọn àgbàgbà ọkùnrin àti wòlíì.
2 And go forth into the valley of the son of Ennom, which is by the entry of the earthen gate: and there thou shalt proclaim the words that I shall tell thee.
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.
3 And thou shalt say: Hear the word of the Lord, O ye kings of Juda, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem: Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold I will bring an affliction upon this place: so that whoever shall hear it, his ears shall tingle:
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.
4 Because they have forsaken me, and have profaned this place: and have sacrificed therein to strange gods, whom neither they nor their fathers knew, nor the kings of Juda: and they have filled this place with the blood of innocents.
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.
5 And they have built the high places of Baalim, to burn their children with fire for a holocaust to Baalim: which I did not command, nor speak of, neither did it once come into my mind.
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.
6 Therefore behold the days come, saith the Lord, that this place shall no more be called Topheth, nor the valley of the son of Ennom, but the valley of slaughter.
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.
7 And I will defeat the counsel of Juda and of Jerusalem in this place: and I will destroy them with the sword in the sight of their enemies, and by the hands of them that seek their lives: and I will give their carcasses to be meat for the fowls of the air, and for the beasts of the earth.
“‘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.
8 And I will make this city an astonishent, and a hissing: every one that shall pass by it, shall be astonished, and shall hiss because of all the plagues thereof.
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.
9 And I will feed them with the flesh of their sons, and with the flesh of their daughters: and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend in the siege, and in the distress wherewith their enemies, and they that seek their lives shall straiten them.
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.’
10 And thou shalt break the bottle in the sight of the men that shall go with thee.
“Nígbà náà ni ìwọ yóò fọ́ ìkòkò náà ní ojú àwọn tí ó bá ọ lọ.
11 And thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord of hosts: even so will I break this people, and this city, as the potter’s vessel is broken, which cannot be made whole again: and they shall be buried in Topheth, because there is no other place to bury in.
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.
12 Thus will I do to this place, saith the Lord, and to the inhabitants thereof: and I will make this city as Topheth.
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.
13 And the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of Juda shall be unclean as the place of Topheth: all the houses upon whose roots they have sacrificed to all the host of heaven, and have poured out drink offerings to strange gods.
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.’”
14 Then Jeremias came from Topheth, whither the Lord had sent him to prophecy, and he stood in the court of the house of the Lord, and said to all people:
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,
15 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold I will bring in upon this city, and upon all the cities thereof all the evils that I have spoken against it: because they have hardened their necks, and they might not hear my words.
“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.’”
