19 Rabbigu wuxuu igu yidhi, Tag, oo dheryasameeye jalxaddiis soo iibso, oo intaad qaar ka mid ah odayaasha dadka iyo odayaasha wadaaddada soo kaxaysid, waxaad tagtaa dooxada ina Xinnom oo u dhow meesha laga soo galo iridda Xarsiid, oo halkaas erayada aan kuu sheegi doono ka naadi, adoo leh, Boqorrada dalka Yahuudah iyo dadka Yeruusaalem degganow, bal maqla erayga Rabbiga. Rabbiga ciidammada oo ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, Bal ogaada, meeshan masiibaan ku soo dejin doonaa, oo ku alla kii maqlaaba wuu ka nixi doonaa. Iyagu way iga tageen, oo intay meeshan nijaaseeyeen, ayay foox ugu shideen ilaahyo kale oo iyaga, iyo awowayaashood, iyo boqorrada dalka Yahuudahba ayan aqoon, oo waxay meeshan ka buuxiyeen dhiigga kuwa aan xaqa qabin. Oo waxay dhiseen meelaha sarsare ee Bacal inay wiilashooda dab ku gubaan oo ay Bacal qurbaanno la gubo ugu bixiyaan, taasoo aanan ku amrin, oo aanan ku hadlin, oo aan innaba qalbigayga soo gelin. Sidaas daraaddeed Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal ogaada, waxaa iman doona wakhti aan meeshan mar dambe loogu yeedhi doonin Tofed, amase dooxadii ina Xinnom, laakiinse waxaa lagu magacaabi doonaa Dooxadii Gowracidda. Oo waxaan meeshan ka tirtiri doonaa talada dadka Yahuudah iyo dadka Yeruusaalemba, oo waxaan ka dhigi doonaa inay cadaawayaashooda hortooda ku la'daan oo ay ku dhintaan gacanta kuwa naftooda doondoonaya, oo bakhtigoodana waxaan cunto ahaan u siin doonaa haadka samada iyo dugaagga dhulka. Oo magaaladanna waxaan ka dhigi doonaa cidla laga yaabo iyo wax lagu foodhyo, oo mid kasta oo ag maraaba wuu ka yaabi doonaa oo ku foodhyi doonaa belaayooyinkeeda oo dhan aawadood. Oo waxaan ka dhigi doonaa inay cunaan hilibka wiilashooda iyo hilibka gabdhahoodaba, oo midkood kastaaba wuxuu cuni doonaa hilibka saaxiibkiis markii dagaal lagu hareereeyo oo ay ku cidhiidhsanaadaan cidhiidhiga cadaawayaashooda iyo kuwa naftooda doondoonaya ay ku cidhiidhin doonaan. 10 Oo markaas jalxadda waxaad ku jebisaa raggii kula socda hortooda. 11 Oo waxaad iyaga ku tidhaahdaa, Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Dadkan iyo magaaladanba waxaan u jejebin doonaa sida weelka dheryasameeyaha loo jebiyo oo kale, kaasoo aan mar kale la kabi karayn, oo waxaa meydadkooda lagu wada xabaali doonaa Tofed, ilamaa ay waayaan meel ay ku kala xabaalaan. 12 Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Sidaasaan meeshan ku samayn doonaa, iyada iyo dadka dhex degganba, oo magaaladanna waxaan ka dhigi doonaa sida Tofed oo kale, 13 oo guryaha Yeruusaalem iyo guryaha boqorrada dalka Yahuudah ee nijaasaysan waxay u ahaan doonaan sida meesha Tofed oo kale, xataa guryahaas oo ah kuwii saqafkooda oo dhan foox loogu shidi jiray ciidammada samada oo dhan, oo qurbaanno cabniin ah loogu bixin jiray ilaahyo kale.

14 Markaas Yeremyaah wuxuu ka yimid Tofed oo ah meeshii Rabbigu u diray inuu wax ku sii sheego, oo intuu barxaddii guriga Rabbiga soo istaagay ayuu dadkii oo dhan ku yidhi, 15 Rabbiga ciidammada oo ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, Bal ogaada, waxaan magaaladan iyo tuulooyinkeeda oo dhanba ku soo dayn doonaa masiibadii aan markii hore kaga hadlay oo dhan, maxaa yeelay, way sii madax adkaadeen, si ayan erayadayda u maqlin aawadeed.

19 This is what the Lord says: “Go and buy a clay jar from a potter.(A) Take along some of the elders(B) of the people and of the priests and go out to the Valley of Ben Hinnom,(C) near the entrance of the Potsherd Gate. There proclaim the words I tell you, and say, ‘Hear the word of the Lord, you kings(D) of Judah and people of Jerusalem. This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Listen! I am going to bring a disaster(E) on this place that will make the ears of everyone who hears of it tingle.(F) For they have forsaken(G) me and made this a place of foreign gods(H); they have burned incense(I) in it to gods that neither they nor their ancestors nor the kings of Judah ever knew, and they have filled this place with the blood of the innocent.(J) They have built the high places of Baal to burn their children(K) in the fire as offerings to Baal—something I did not command or mention, nor did it enter my mind.(L) So beware, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when people will no longer call this place Topheth(M) or the Valley of Ben Hinnom,(N) but the Valley of Slaughter.(O)

“‘In this place I will ruin[a] the plans(P) of Judah and Jerusalem. I will make them fall by the sword before their enemies,(Q) at the hands of those who want to kill them, and I will give their carcasses(R) as food(S) to the birds and the wild animals. I will devastate this city and make it an object of horror and scorn;(T) all who pass by will be appalled(U) and will scoff because of all its wounds.(V) I will make them eat(W) the flesh of their sons and daughters, and they will eat one another’s flesh because their enemies(X) will press the siege so hard against them to destroy them.’

10 “Then break the jar(Y) while those who go with you are watching, 11 and say to them, ‘This is what the Lord Almighty says: I will smash(Z) this nation and this city just as this potter’s jar is smashed and cannot be repaired. They will bury(AA) the dead in Topheth until there is no more room. 12 This is what I will do to this place and to those who live here, declares the Lord. I will make this city like Topheth. 13 The houses(AB) in Jerusalem and those of the kings of Judah will be defiled(AC) like this place, Topheth—all the houses where they burned incense on the roofs(AD) to all the starry hosts(AE) and poured out drink offerings(AF) to other gods.’”

14 Jeremiah then returned from Topheth, where the Lord had sent him to prophesy, and stood in the court(AG) of the Lord’s temple and said to all the people, 15 “This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: ‘Listen! I am going to bring on this city and all the villages around it every disaster(AH) I pronounced against them, because they were stiff-necked(AI) and would not listen(AJ) to my words.’”
