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;

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 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;

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 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.

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, 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,

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 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:

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, 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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 to this place, says Yahweh, and to its inhabitants, even making 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, 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.

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.

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:

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 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.

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.
