1ʻOku pehē mai ʻa Sihova, ʻAlu, ʻo toʻo ʻae hina ʻumea ʻoe tufunga ngaohi ipu, pea ʻave ʻae kau mātuʻa niʻihi ʻoe kakai, pea mo e kau mātuʻa ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki;
1This 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,
2Pea ke ʻalu ki he teleʻa ʻoe foha ʻo Henomi, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he matapā hahake, pea fakahā ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi lea ʻaia te u tala kiate koe,
2and go out to the Valley of Ben-hinnom near the entrance of the Potsherd Gate. Proclaim there the words I speak to you,
3Pea ke pehē, “ʻE ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta, mo e kakai ʻo Selūsalema, mou fanongo ki he folofola ʻa Sihova; ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli; Vakai, te u ʻomi ʻae kovi ki he potu ni, pea ko ia ʻe fanongo ki ai, ʻe vavana ai hono telinga.
3saying, ‘Hear the word of the LORD, O kings of Judah and residents of Jerusalem. This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: I am going to bring such disaster on this place that the ears of all who hear of it will ring,
4Koeʻuhi kuo nau liʻaki au, pea kuo fakakehe ʻae potu ni, kuo tutu ʻi ai ʻae meʻa namu kakala ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo, pe ko ʻenau ngaahi tamai, pe ko e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta, pea kuo fakapito ʻaki ʻae potu ni ʻae toto ʻoe taʻehalaia.
4because they have abandoned Me and made this a foreign place. They have burned incense in this place to other gods that neither they nor their fathers nor the kings of Judah have ever known. They have filled this place with the blood of the innocent.
5Kuo nau langa foki ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga ʻo Peali, ke tutu ai honau ngaahi foha ʻi he afi, ko e feilaulau tutu kia Peali, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te u fekau, pe lea ki ai, pea naʻe ʻikai siʻi te u fiemālie ki ai:
5They have built high places to Baal on which to burn their children in the fire as offerings to Baal—something I never commanded or mentioned, nor did it even enter My mind.
6Ko ia, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻOku haʻu ʻae ngaahi ʻaho, ʻe ʻikai toe ui ʻae potu ni ko Tofeti, pe ko e teleʻa ʻoe foha ʻo Henomi, ka Ko e teleʻa ʻoe tāmateʻi.
6So behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when this place will no longer be called Topheth or the Valley of Ben-hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter.
7Pea te u fakataʻeʻaonga ʻae fakakaukau ʻa Siuta mo Selūsalema ʻi he potu ni: pea te u pule ke nau tō ʻi he heletā ʻi he ʻao ʻo honau ngaahi fili, pea mo e nima ʻonautolu ʻoku kumi ʻenau moʻui: pea te u foaki honau ʻangaʻanga ke kai ʻe he fanga manu ʻoe ʻatā, pea mo e fanga manu ʻoe fonua.
7And in this place I will ruin the plans of Judah and Jerusalem. I will make them fall by the sword before their enemies, by the hands of those who seek their lives, and I will give their carcasses as food to the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth.
8Pea te u ngaohi ʻae kolo ni ke lala, pea ko e manukiʻanga; pea ʻe ofo mo fakaʻiseʻisa ki ai ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻalu ki ai, koeʻuhi ko hono ngaahi tautea kotoa pē.
8I will make this city a desolation and an object of scorn. All who pass by will be appalled and will scoff at all her wounds.
9Pea te u pule ke nau kai ʻae kakano ʻo honau ngaahi foha, pea mo e kakano ʻo honau ngaahi ʻofefine, pea te nau taki taha kai ʻae kakano ʻo hono kāinga ʻi he tau mo e mamahi, ʻaia ʻe fakamamahi ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻe honau ngaahi fili, pea mo kinautolu ʻoku kumi ʻenau moʻui.”
9I will make them eat the flesh of their sons and daughters, and they will eat one another’s flesh in the siege and distress inflicted on them by their enemies who seek their lives.’
10Pea te ke toki foa ʻae hina ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau tangata ʻoku nau ʻalu mo koe,
10Then you are to shatter the jar in the presence of the men who accompany you,
11Pea te ke lea kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku pehē mai ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau; ʻE pehē ʻeku maumauʻi ʻae kakai ni, pea mo e kolo ni, ʻo hangē ʻoku foaʻi ʻe ha taha ʻae ipu ʻae tufunga ngaohi ipu, ʻaia ʻe ʻikai toe faʻa ngaohi ke haohaoa: pea ʻe tanu ʻakinautolu ʻi Tofeti, pea ʻe ʻikai ha potu ʻe hao ai honau tanu.
11and you are to proclaim to them that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: I will shatter this nation and this city, like one shatters a potter’s jar that can never again be repaired. They will bury the dead in Topheth until there is no more room to bury them.
12ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, Te u fai pehē ki he potu ni, pea mo hono kakai, pea te u ngaohi ʻae kolo ni ke hangē ko Tofeti:
12This is what I will do to this place and to its residents, declares the LORD. I will make this city like Topheth.
13Pea ʻe fakaʻuliʻi ʻae ngaahi fale ʻo Selūsalema, pea mo e ngaahi fale ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻo hangē ko e potu ʻo Tofeti, koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi fale kotoa pē ʻaia kuo tutu ai ʻae meʻa namu kakala ʻi honau tuʻa fale ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoe langi, pea kuo lilingi ai ʻae feilaulau inu ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe.”
13The houses of Jerusalem and the houses of the kings of Judah will be defiled like that place, Topheth—all the houses on whose rooftops they burned incense to all the host of heaven and poured out drink offerings to other gods.”
14¶ Pea naʻe toki haʻu ʻa Selemaia mei Tofeti, ʻaia naʻe fekau ia ki ai ʻe Sihova ke kikite; pea ne tuʻu ʻi he lotoʻā ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova ʻo ne lea ki he kakai kotoa pē,
14Then Jeremiah returned from Topheth, where the LORD had sent him to prophesy, and he stood in the courtyard of the house of the LORD and proclaimed to all the people,
15ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli; “Vakai te u ʻomi ki he kolo ni, pea mo hono ngaahi potu kakai kotoa pē, ʻae kovi kotoa pē ʻaia naʻaku lea ki ai, koeʻuhi kuo nau fakakekeva honau kia, telia naʻa nau fanongo ki heʻeku ngaahi lea.”
15“This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘Behold, I am about to bring on this city and on all the villages around it every disaster I have pronounced against them, because they have stiffened their necks so as not to heed My words.’”
