Jeremiah 19

1 thus to say LORD to go: went and to buy flask to form: potter earthenware and from old: elder [the] people and from old: elder [the] priest

This is what the Lord says: Go and buy a clay jar from a potter. Take some of the elders of the people and leaders of the priests with you,

2 and to come out: come to(wards) valley son: child (Topheth of son of) Hinnom which entrance gate ([the] Potsherd (Gate) *Qk) and to call: call out there [obj] [the] word which to speak: speak to(wards) you

and go through the Broken Pottery Gate to the valley of Ben-hinnom. Announce this message I'm giving you.

3 and to say to hear: hear word LORD king Judah and to dwell Jerusalem thus to say LORD Hosts God Israel look! I to come (in): bring distress: harm upon [the] place [the] this which all to hear: hear her to tingle ear his

Tell them, Listen to what the Lord says, kings of Judah and people living in Jerusalem. This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I am going to bring down on this place such a disaster that it will make the ears of anyone who hears about it ring.

4 because which to leave: forsake me and to alienate [obj] [the] place [the] this and to offer: offer in/on/with him to/for God another which not to know them they(masc.) and father their and king Judah and to fill [obj] [the] place [the] this blood innocent

My people have deserted me and have made this a place where foreign gods are worshiped. They have burned incense in it to other gods that they and their forefathers and the kings of Judah never knew anything about. They have filled this place with the blood of innocent people.

5 and to build [obj] high place [the] Baal to/for to burn [obj] son: child their in/on/with fire burnt offering to/for Baal which not to command and not to speak: speak and not to ascend: rise upon heart my

They have built pagan shrines to Baal where they burn their children in the fire as offerings to Baal. This is something I never commanded or even mentioned. I never even thought of such a thing!

6 to/for so behold day to come (in): come utterance LORD and not to call: call by to/for place [the] this still [the] Topheth and valley son: child (Topheth of son of) Hinnom that if: except if: except valley [the] (Topheth of) Slaughter

So watch out! The time is coming, declares the Lord, when instead of Topheth and the Valley of Hinnom this place will be called the Valley of Killing.

7 and to empty [obj] counsel Judah and Jerusalem in/on/with place [the] this and to fall: kill them in/on/with sword to/for face: before enemy their and in/on/with hand: power to seek soul: life their and to give: give [obj] carcass their to/for food to/for bird [the] heaven and to/for animal [the] land: soil

Right here in this place I'm going to spoil the plans of Judah and Jerusalem. I will let their enemies who want to kill them come and do exactly that. Their dead bodies will be food for birds of prey and wild animals.

8 and to set: make [obj] [the] city [the] this to/for horror: appalled and to/for hissing all to pass upon her be desolate: appalled and to whistle upon all wound her

I'm going to make this city desolate, a place that is mocked. Everyone who passes by will be horrified, shocked by all its damage.

9 and to eat them [obj] flesh son: child their and [obj] flesh daughter their and man: anyone flesh neighbor his to eat in/on/with siege and in/on/with distress which to press to/for them enemy their and to seek soul: life their

The siege brought by their enemies who want to kill them will be so terrible that I will make them eat each other, even their own sons and daughters.

10 and to break [the] flask to/for eye: seeing [the] human [the] to go: went with you

Then smash the jar in front of the people with you.

11 and to say to(wards) them thus to say LORD Hosts thus to break [obj] [the] people [the] this and [obj] [the] city [the] this like/as as which to break [obj] article/utensil [the] to form: potter which not be able to/for to heal still and in/on/with Topheth to bury from nothing place to/for to bury

Tell them: this is what the Lord Almighty says: I'm going to smash this nation and this city, just like a clay jar is smashed so it can't ever be repaired. People will bury their dead in Topheth until it's full.

12 so to make: do to/for place [the] this utterance LORD and to/for to dwell his and to/for to give: make [obj] [the] city [the] this like/as Topheth

This is what I'm going to do to this place and to the people who live here, declares the Lord. I will turn this city into Topheth.

13 and to be house: home Jerusalem and house: home king Judah like/as place [the] Topheth [the] unclean to/for all [the] house: home which to offer: offer upon roof their to/for all army [the] heaven and to pour drink offering to/for God another

All the houses of Jerusalem and the palaces of the kings of Judah will become unclean just like Topheth, because they are all the houses whose rooftops they used to burn incense to the sun, moon, and stars, and poured out drink offerings to other gods.

14 and to come (in): come Jeremiah from [the] Topheth which to send: depart him LORD there to/for to prophesy and to stand: stand in/on/with court house: temple LORD and to say to(wards) all [the] people

Jeremiah returned from Topheth, where the Lord had sent him to deliver this message. He went and stood in the court of the Lord's Temple and announced to everyone,

15 thus to say LORD Hosts God Israel look! I (to come (in): bring *Qk) to(wards) [the] city [the] this and upon all city her [obj] all [the] distress: harm which to speak: promise upon her for to harden [obj] neck their to/for lest to hear: hear [obj] word my

This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Watch out! I am about to bring down on this city and on all its surrounding villages every disaster I warned them about, because they have stubbornly refused to listen to what I say.
