¹Thus saith Jehovah: Go and buy a potter's earthen flagon, and [take] of the elders of the people, and of the elders of the priests;

¹ Yaa no Rabbi ci: Ma koy ka kusu cinako foobu day. Ma borey ra arkusu fooyaŋ, da alfagey ra dottijey suuban.

²and go forth unto the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the pottery-gate, and proclaim there the words that I shall tell thee,

² Ma fatta ka koy Hinnom izo gooro do, kaŋ go Cambu Meyo jarga. Noodin ni ma sanno kaŋ ay ga ci ni se din fe.

³and say, Hear the word of Jehovah, O kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem. Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, the which whosoever heareth, his ears shall tingle;

³ Ma ne: Ya araŋ Yahuda bonkooney, da Urusalima ra gorokoy, wa maa Rabbi sanno. Yaa no Rabbi Kundeykoyo, Israyla Irikoyo ci: A go, ay ga masiiba candi ka kande nango wo boŋ, kaŋ ga naŋ a maako kulu hangey ga kungu.

⁴because they have forsaken me, and have estranged this place [from me], and have burned incense in it unto other gods, whom neither they nor their fathers have known, nor the kings of Judah; and have filled this place with the blood of innocents;

⁴ Za kaŋ borey wo n'ay furu, i na nango wo ziibandi ay se, i na dugu ton a ra de-koy fooyaŋ se, kaŋ yaŋ ngey bumbey wala i kaayey, wala Yahuda bonkooney si i bay. I na nango wo toonandi nda boro kaŋ sinda taali kuri.

⁵and they have built the high places of Baal, to burn their sons in the fire as burnt-offerings unto Baal, which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it up into my mind:

⁵ I na Baal sududuyaŋ nangey cina, zama ngey ma ngey ize arey ton danji ra, sargay kaŋ i ga ton Baal se nooya, haŋ kaŋ ay man'a lordi te, yana a ci, a mana baa kaa ay bina ra mo.

⁶therefore behold, days come, saith Jehovah, that this place shall no more be called Topheth, nor Valley of the son of Hinnom, but the valley of slaughter.

⁶ Woodin sabbay se, guna, jirbiyaŋ goono ga kaa kaŋ i si ye ka ne nango wo se Tofet koyne, wala Hinnom izo gooro, kala day Boro Wiyaŋ gooru. Yaadin no Rabbi ci.

⁷And 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 them that seek their life, and their carcases will I give as food to the fowl of the heavens and to the beasts of the earth.

⁷ Ay ga Yahuda nda Urusalima saawara ciya yaamo nango wo ra. Ay ga naŋ takuba m'i zeeri ngey ibarey jine, da borey kaŋ yaŋ goono g'i fundey ceeci kambe ra mo. Ay g'i buukoy no i ma ciya beene curey da laabo ganji hamey se ŋwaari.

⁸And I will make this city an astonishment and a hissing; every one that passeth by shall be astonished and hiss because of all the plagues thereof.

⁸ Ay ga gallo wo ciya kurmu nda donda-caray hari mo. Boro kaŋ ga bisa kulu ga dambara, a ma cuusu gallo balaawey baayaŋ se.

⁹And 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 straitness wherewith their enemies, and they that seek their lives, shall straiten them.

⁹ Ay ga naŋ i ma ngey ize arey da ize wayey ham ŋwa. I boro fo kulu mo ga nga cora ham ŋwa, wongu windiyaŋ gurzugay da kankami ra, kaŋ i ibarey d'i fundey ceecikoy g'i kankam d'a.

¹⁰And thou shalt break the flagon in the sight of the men that go with thee,

¹⁰ Waato din gaa no ni ma foobo kaŋ go ni se din bagu borey kaŋ goono ga ni dum kulu jine.

¹¹and shalt say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Even so will I break this people and this city, as one breaketh a potter's vessel, that cannot be made whole again. And they shall bury in Topheth, till there be no place to bury.

¹¹ Ma ne i se: Yaa no Rabbi Kundeykoyo ci: Yaadin cine no ay ga dumo wo da gallo wo bagu nd'a, sanda mate kaŋ i ga kusu cinako kusu bagu cine, hal a si ye ka hanse koyne. I ga fijiyaŋ te mo Tofet ra, zama fijiyaŋ nangu fo si cindi.

¹²Thus will I do unto this place, saith Jehovah, and to the inhabitants thereof, and make this city as Topheth.

¹² Yaa no Rabbi ci: Yaadin mo no ay ga te nango wo se, d'a ra gorokoy mo se, ay ma gallo wo ciya sanda Tofet cine.

¹³And the houses of Jerusalem and the houses of the kings of Judah shall be as the place of Topheth, defiled, all the houses upon whose roofs they have burned incense unto all the host of the heavens, and have poured out drink-offerings unto other gods.

¹³ Urusalima windey da Yahuda bonkooney waney mo ga ciya harram hari sanda Tofet cine. Zama i na dugu ton windey daabirjey boŋ beene kundey se, i na haŋyaŋ sargayey soogu mo de-koy fooyaŋ se.

¹⁴And Jeremiah came from Topheth, whither Jehovah had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of Jehovah's house, and said to all the people,

¹⁴ Waato din gaa Irimiya kaa ka fun Tofet, nango kaŋ Rabbi n'a donton a ma koy ka annabitaray te. A kay Rabbi windo batama ra, ka ne jama kulu se:

¹⁵Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon all her cities all the evil that I have spoken against it; for they have hardened their necks, not to hear my words.

¹⁵ Yaa no Rabbi Kundeykoyo, Israyla Irikoyo ci: A go, ay ga masiibey kulu kaŋ yaŋ ay ci candi ka kande gallo wo da nga kawyey kulu boŋ, za kaŋ i na ngey boŋ sandandi, zama ngey ma si maa ay sanney se.
