Jeremia 19

1 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Andeha mividy tavoara tanimanga, ary makà anti-panahy amin’ ny vahoaka sy anti-panahy amin’ ny mpisorona,

Thus said YHWH, "Go, and buy a potter's earthen bottle, and take with you some of the elders of the people, and of the elders of the priests;

2 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,

and go forth to the Valley of Ben Hinnom, which is by the entry of the Potsherd Gate, and proclaim there the words that I shall tell you;

3 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

and say, 'Hear the word of YHWH, kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem: thus says YHWH of hosts, the God of Israel, "Look, I will bring evil on this place, which whoever hears, his ears shall tingle.

4 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

Because they have forsaken me, and have estranged this place, and have burned incense in it to other gods, that they did not know, they and their fathers and the kings of Judah; and have filled this place with the blood of innocents,

5 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.

and have built the high places of Baal, to burn their sons in the fire for burnt offerings to Baal; which I did not command, nor spoke it, neither came it into my mind:

6 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.

therefore, look, the days come," says YHWH, "that this place shall no more be called Topheth, nor The Valley of Ben Hinnom, but The Valley of Slaughter.

7 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.

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 who seek their life: and their dead bodies will I give to be food for the birds of the sky, and for the animals of the earth.

8 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.

I will make this city an astonishment, and a hissing; everyone who passes thereby shall be astonished and hiss because of all its plagues.

9 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.

I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters; and they shall eat everyone the flesh of his friend, in the siege and in the distress, with which their enemies, and those who seek their life, shall distress them."'

10 Dia torotoroy eo imason’ ny olona izay miaraka aminao ilay tavoara,

Then you shall break the bottle in the sight of the men who go with you,

11 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.

and shall tell them, 'Thus says YHWH of hosts: "Even so will I break this people and this city, as one breaks a potter's vessel, that can't be made whole again; and they shall bury in Topheth, until there is no place to bury.

12 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.

Thus will I do to this place," says YHWH, "and to its inhabitants, even making this city as Topheth:

13 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.

and the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, which are defiled, shall be as the place of Topheth, even all the houses on whose roofs they have burned incense to all the host of heaven, and have poured out drink offerings to other gods."'"

14 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:

Then came Jeremiah from Topheth, where YHWH had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of YHWH's house, and said to all the people:

15 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.

"Thus says YHWH of hosts, the God of Israel, 'Look, I will bring on this city and on all its towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it; because they have made their neck stiff, that they may not hear my words.'"
