¹Nõnda ütleb Issand: 'Mine ja osta potissepa tehtud savikruus, võta kaasa rahva vanemaid ja preestrite vanemaid

¹Thus said Yahweh, Go, and buy a potter’s earthen bottle, and take some of the elders of the people, and of the elders of the priests;

²ja mine välja Ben-Hinnomi orgu, mis on Potikillu värava ees, hüüa seal need sõnad, mis ma sulle räägin,

²and go forth to the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the gate Harsith, and proclaim there the words that I shall tell you;

³ja ütle: Kuulge Issanda sõna, Juuda kuningad ja Jeruusalemma elanikud! Nõnda ütleb vägede Issand, Iisraeli Jumal: Vaata, ma lasen tulla sellele paigale niisuguse õnnetuse, et igaühel, kes sellest kuuleb, hakkavad kõrvad kumisema,

³and say, Hear the word of Yahweh, kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem: thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, Behold, I will bring evil on this place, which whoever hears, his ears shall tingle.

⁴sellepärast et nad hülgasid minu ja muutsid tundmatuseni selle paiga ning suitsutasid seal teistele jumalatele, keda ei tundnud nemad ise ega nende vanemad ja Juuda kuningad, ja täitsid selle paiga süütute verega

⁴Because they have forsaken me, and have estranged this place, and have burned incense in it to other gods, that they didn’t know, they and their fathers and the kings of Judah; and have filled this place with the blood of innocents,

⁵ning ehitasid ohvrikünkaid Baalile, et põletada tules oma lapsi Baalile põletusohvriks, mida mina ei ole käskinud ega millest ma ei ole rääkinud ja mis mulle ei ole meeldegi tulnud.

⁵and have built the high places of Baal, to burn their sons in the fire for burnt offerings to Baal; which I didn’t command, nor spoke it, neither came it into my mind:

⁶Seepärast, vaata, päevad tulevad, ütleb Issand, kui seda paika enam ei nimetata Põletuspaigaks ega Ben-Hinnomi oruks, vaid Tapaoruks.

⁶therefore, behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that this place shall no more be called Topheth, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of Slaughter.

⁷Ja ma tühistan siin paigas Juuda ja Jeruusalemma nõu ning lasen neid langeda mõõga läbi nende vaenlaste ees, ja nende käe läbi, kes ihkavad võtta neilt elu; ja ma annan nende laibad roaks taeva lindudele ja maa loomadele.

⁷I 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.

⁸Ja ma teen selle linna jubeduseks ja pilkealuseks. Igaüks, kes sellest mööda läheb, kohkub ja vilistab kõigi selle nuhtluste pärast.

⁸I will make this city an astonishment, and a hissing; everyone who passes thereby shall be astonished and hiss because of all its plagues.

⁹Ja ma panen nad sööma oma poegade ja tütarde liha, ja nad söövad üksteise liha piiramise ajal ja kitsikuses, millega nende vaenlased ja need, kes püüavad nende elu, neid kimbutavad.

⁹I 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.

¹⁰Siis purusta kruus nende meeste nähes, kes koos sinuga on tulnud,

¹⁰Then you shall break the bottle in the sight of the men who go with you,

¹¹ja ütle neile: Nõnda ütleb vägede Issand: Nõndasamuti purustan ma selle rahva ja selle linna, otsekui purustatakse potissepa astja, mida ei saa enam parandada; ja Põletuspaika maetaksegi, sest muud matmispaika ei ole.

¹¹and shall tell them, Thus says Yahweh of Armies: 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.

¹²Nõnda talitan ma selle paigaga, ütleb Issand, ja selle elanikega, et teha seda linna Põletuspaiga sarnaseks.

¹²Thus will I do to this place, says Yahweh, and to its inhabitants, even making this city as Topheth:

¹³Jeruusalemma kojad ja Juuda kuningate kojad saavad Põletuspaiga taoliselt rüvetatuiks, kõik kojad, mille katustel on suitsutatud kõigile taevavägedele ja on valatud joogiohvreid teistele jumalatele.'

¹³and 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 army of the sky, and have poured out drink offerings to other gods.

¹⁴Kui Jeremija tuli Põletuspaigast, kuhu Issand oli ta läkitanud prohvetlikult kuulutama, siis ta seisis Issanda koja õues ning ütles kogu rahvale:

¹⁴Then came Jeremiah from Topheth, where Yahweh had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of Yahweh’s house, and said to all the people:

¹⁵'Nõnda ütleb vägede Issand, Iisraeli Jumal: Vaata, ma toon sellele linnale ja kõigile ta linnadele õnnetuse, mille ma temale olen tõotanud, sest nad on teinud oma kaela kangeks, et mitte kuulda minu sõnu.'

¹⁵Thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, Behold, 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.
