1 This 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,
1 ASÍ dijo Jehová: Ve, y compra una vasija de barro del alfarero, y [lleva contigo] de los ancianos del pueblo, y de los ancianos de los sacerdotes;
2 and go out to the Valley of Ben-hinnom near the entrance of the Potsherd Gate. Proclaim there the words I speak to you,
2 Y saldrás al valle del hijo de Hinnom, que está á la entrada de la puerta oriental, y publicarás allí las palabras que yo te hablaré.
3 saying, ‘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,
3 Dirás pues: Oid palabra de Jehová, oh reyes de Judá, y moradores de Jerusalem. Así dice Jehová de los ejércitos, Dios de Israel: He aquí que yo traigo mal sobre este lugar, tal que quien lo oyere, le retiñan los oídos.
4 because 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.
4 Porque me dejaron, y enajenaron este lugar, y ofrecieron en él perfumes á dioses ajenos, los cuales no habían ellos conocido, ni sus padres, ni los reyes de Judá; y llenaron este lugar de sangre de inocentes;
5 They 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.
5 Y edificaron alto á Baal, para quemar con fuego sus hijos en holocaustos al mismo Baal; cosa que no les mandé, ni hablé, ni me vino al pensamiento.
6 So 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.
6 Por tanto, he aquí vienen días, dice Jehová, que este lugar no se llamará más Topheth, ni Valle del hijo de Hinnom, sino Valle de la Matanza.
7 And 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.
7 Y desvaneceré el consejo de Judá y de Jerusalem en este lugar; y haréles caer á cuchillo delante de sus enemigos, y en las manos de los que buscan sus almas; y daré sus cuerpos para comida de las aves del cielo y de las bestias de la tierra:
8 I 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.
8 Y pondré á esta ciudad por espanto y silbo: todo aquel que pasare por ella se maravillará, y silbará sobre todas sus plagas.
9 I 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.’
9 Y haréles comer la carne de sus hijos y la carne de sus hijas; y cada uno comerá la carne de su amigo, en el cerco y en el apuro con que los estrecharán sus enemigos y los que buscan sus almas.
10 Then you are to shatter the jar in the presence of the men who accompany you,
10 Y quebrarás la vasija ante los ojos de los varones que van contigo,
11 and 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.
11 Y les dirás: Así ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos: Así quebrantaré á este pueblo y á esta ciudad, como quien quiebra un vaso de barro, que no puede más restaurarse; y en Topheth se enterrarán, porque no habrá otro lugar para enterrar.
12 This is what I will do to this place and to its residents, declares the LORD. I will make this city like Topheth.
12 Así haré á este lugar, dice Jehová, y á sus moradores, poniendo esta ciudad como Topheth.
13 The 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.”
13 Y las casas de Jerusalem, y las casas de los reyes de Judá, serán como el lugar de Topheth inmundas, por todas las casas sobre cuyos tejados ofrecieron perfumes á todo el ejército del cielo, y vertieron libaciones á dioses ajenos.
14 Then 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,
14 Y volvió Jeremías de Topheth, á donde le envió Jehová á profetizar, y paróse en el atrio de la casa de Jehová, y dijo á todo el pueblo.
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.’”
15 Así ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos, Dios de Israel: He aquí yo traigo sobre esta ciudad y sobre todas sus villas todo el mal que hablé contra ella: porque han endurecido su cerviz, para no oir mis palabras.
