Jeremiah 19
1 ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ମାେତେ କହିଲେ, ୟାଅ ଏବଂ କୁମ୍ଭକାର ପାଖରୁ ଏକ ମୃତ୍ତିକା ପାତ୍ର କିଣ।
2 ଆଉ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ଯରୁ କେତକେ ପ୍ରାଚୀନ ଲୋକଙ୍କୁ ଓ ଯାଜକମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ଯରୁ କେତକେ ପ୍ରାଚୀନ ଯାଜକଗଣଙ୍କୁ ନିଅ, ଏବଂ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ନଇେ ହାର୍ଶିତ ଫାଟକ ପ୍ରବେଶ ସ୍ଥାନରୁ ନିକଟରୁ ହିନ୍ନୋମ ପୁତ୍ରର ଉପତ୍ୟକାକୁ ବାହାରିୟାଅ। ଆଉ ଆମ୍ଭେ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଯାହା କହିବା, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ସହେି ସ୍ଥାନ ରେ ପ୍ରଚାର କର।
3 ଆଉ କୁହ, ' ହେ ଯିହୁଦାର ରାଜାଗଣ ଓ ୟିରୁଶାଲମ ନିବାସୀମାନେ, ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ବାକ୍ଯ ଶୁଣ। ସୈନ୍ଯାଧିପତି ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ପରମେଶ୍ବର ଏହି କଥା କହନ୍ତି, ଦେଖ, ଆମ୍ଭେ ଏହି ସ୍ଥାନକୁ ଦୁର୍ଦ୍ଦଶା ଆଣୁଅଛୁ। ତାହା ୟିଏ ଶୁଣିବ ସେ ଭୟ ରେ ଶିହିରି ଉଠିବ।
4 କାରଣ ଯିହୁଦାବାସୀମାନେ ଆମ୍ଭକୁ ପରିତ୍ଯାଗ କରିଛନ୍ତି। ସମାନେେ ଏହି ସ୍ଥାନକୁ ପରଦେଶୀଯ ଦବଗେଣ ରେ ପରିପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ କରିଛନ୍ତି। ସମାନେେ ପୂର୍ବରୁ ପୂଜା କରୁ ନ ଥିବା ଦବଗେଣଙ୍କ ନିକଟରେ ଧୂପ ଜଳାଇଛନ୍ତି। ସମାନଙ୍କେର ପୂର୍ବପୁରୁଷଗଣ ଓ ଯିହୁଦାର ରାଜାଗଣ ଯେଉଁ ଦବଗେଣଙ୍କୁ ଜାଣି ନ ଥିଲେ ସହେିମାନଙ୍କୁ ସମାନେେ ଅନୁସରଣ କରୁଛନ୍ତି। ଏହସ ସ୍ଥାନକୁ ନିର୍ଦ୍ ଦୋଷମାନଙ୍କ ରକ୍ତ ରେ ପରିପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ କରିଅଛନ୍ତି।
5 ଯିହୁଦାର ରାଜାଗଣ ବାଲ୍ଦବଙ୍କେ ଉଦ୍ଦେଶ୍ଯ ରେ ଉଚ୍ଚସ୍ଥଳୀ ନିର୍ମାଣ କରିଛନ୍ତି। ସମାନେେ ନିଜର ସନ୍ତାନଗଣଙ୍କୁ ବାଲଦବେ ଉଦ୍ଦେଶ୍ଯ ରେ ହାମବେଳି ରୂପେ ଉତ୍ସର୍ଗ କରିଅଛନ୍ତି। ଆମ୍ଭେ କିନ୍ତୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ଏହା କହିବାକୁ ଆଦେଶ କରିନାହୁଁ କି କହି ନାହୁଁ ଓ ଆମ୍ଭ ମନ ରେ ଏହା ଉଦଯ ହାଇେ ନାହିଁ।
6 ଏହି ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ କହନ୍ତି, ଦେଖ, ଏହିସ୍ଥାନ ତୋଫାନ୍ କିଅବା ହିନ୍ନୋମ ପୁତ୍ରର ଉପତ୍ୟକା ବୋଲି ଖ୍ଯାତ ନ ହାଇେ ହତ୍ଯା ଉପତ୍ୟକା ବୋଲି ଖ୍ଯାତ ହବେ, ଏପରି ସମୟ ଆସୁଅଛି।
7 ପୁଣି ସହେି ସ୍ଥାନ ରେ ଆମ୍ଭେ ଯିହୁଦାର ଓ ୟିରୁଶାଲମର ସମସ୍ତ ସାଜସଜ୍ଜା ବ୍ଯର୍ଥ କରିବା। ତା'ପ ରେ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ଶତ୍ରୁମାନଙ୍କର ଖଡ୍ଗ ରେ ଧ୍ବଂସ ହବୋକୁ ଆମ୍ଭେ ଦବୋ। ଆମ୍ଭେ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ଶବକୁ ପକ୍ଷୀମାନଙ୍କୁ ଓ ପଶୁମାନଙ୍କୁ ଖାଦ୍ୟ ରୂପେ ଦବୋ।
8 ଆମ୍ଭେ ଏହି ନଗରୀକୁ ସମ୍ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ ଭାବରେ ଧ୍ବଂସ କରିବା। ଯେତବେେଳେ ଲୋକମାନେ ୟିରୁଶାଲମ ଦଇେ ଯିବେ, ସମାନେେ ଯାହା ଦେଖିବେ ସେଥି ରେ ଆଘାତ ପାଇବେ। ଯେତବେେଳେ ସମାନେେ ଧ୍ବସ୍ତ ନଗରୀକୁ ଦେଖିବେ, ସମାନେେ ଆତଙ୍କିତ ହବେେ ଓ ବୀଭିଷିକା ପ୍ରକାଶ କରିବା ପାଇଁ ହିସ୍ ଶବ୍ଦ କରିବେ।
9 ଶତ୍ରୁଗଣ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ନଗରକୁ ଅବରୋଧ କରିବେ ଓ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ଖାଦ୍ୟ ପାଇଁ ବାହାରକୁ ୟିବାକୁ ଦବେେ ନାହିଁ। ତେଣୁ ଲୋକମାନେ ଉପବାସ ରେ ରହିବେ ଓ କ୍ଷୁଧା ରେ ଆତୁର ହାଇେ ସଙ୍କଟ ସମୟରେ ପୁତ୍ର କନ୍ଯାର ମାଂସ ଭୋଜନ କରିବେ। ଆଉ ମଧ୍ଯ ଶଷେ ରେ ପରସ୍ପରକୁ ଭୋଜନ କରିବେ।'
10 ହେ ଯିରିମିୟ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଏହି କଥା କହିବ। ସମାନେେ ଲକ୍ଷ୍ଯ କଲା ବେଳେ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ସାକ୍ଷାତ ରେ ଏହି ପାତ୍ରକୁ ଭାଙ୍ଗିବ।
11 ସହେି ସମୟରେ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ କହିବ, 'ସୈନ୍ଯାଧିପତି ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଏହିକଥା କହନ୍ତି, ଯେପରି କହେି ଏହି ମାଟିପାତ୍ର ଭାଙ୍ଗିଲେ ତାହା ଆଉ ୟୋଡ଼ା ହୁଏ ନାହିଁ। ସହେିପରି ଆମ୍ଭେ ଯିହୁଦାକୁ ଭାଙ୍ଗି ପକାଇବା। ମୃତ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ କବରମାନ ମିଳିବ ନାହିଁ। ସମାନେେ ସମସ୍ତେ ତୋଫାତ ରେ କବର ନବେେ।
12 ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ କହନ୍ତି ଆମ୍ଭେ ଏହି ସ୍ଥାନ ପ୍ରତି ଓ ତହିଁର ନିବାସୀମାନଙ୍କ ପ୍ରତି ଏହି କାର୍ୟ୍ଯ କରିବା। ଆମ୍ଭେ ଏହି ନଗରକୁ ତୋଫତ ତୁଲ୍ଯ କରିବା।'
13 'ୟିରୁଶାଲମର ସମସ୍ତ ଗୃହ ଓ ସମସ୍ତ ରାଜ ପ୍ରାସାଦଗୁଡ଼ିକ ତାଫେତ୍ ତୁଲ୍ଯ ଅଶୁଚି ସ୍ଥାନ ହବେ। କାରଣ ସମାନେେ ଆକାଶମଣ୍ଡଳସ୍ଥ ଅତିଥି ଉଦ୍ଦେଶ୍ଯ ରେ ଧୂପ ଜଳାଇ ଅଛନ୍ତି ଓ ଅନ୍ୟ ଦବଗେଣ ଉଦ୍ଦେଶ୍ଯ ରେ ପଯେ ନବୈେଦ୍ଯ ଉତ୍ସର୍ଗ କରିଅଛନ୍ତି।'
14 ତା'ପ ରେ ଯିରିମିୟ ତୋଫତର ସହେି ସ୍ଥାନରୁ ଆସିଲେ। ଯେଉଁଠାକୁ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ତାଙ୍କୁ ଭବିଷ୍ଯତ ବାଣୀ ପ୍ରଚାର କରିବା ପାଇଁ ପଠାଇଥିଲେ ଏବଂ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ମନ୍ଦିର ଅଗଣା ରେ ଛିଡ଼ା ହାଇେଥିବା ସମସ୍ତଙ୍କୁ ଏହା କହିଥିଲେ।
15 ସୈନ୍ଯାଧିପତି ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ପରମେଶ୍ବର ଏହି କଥା କହନ୍ତି, ' ଦେଖ, ଆମ୍ଭେ ଏହି ନଗର ଓ ତହିଁର ସକଳ ଉପନଗର ବିରୁଦ୍ଧ ରେ ଯେଉଁ ଦଣ୍ଡାଜ୍ଞା କହିଅଛୁ, ସେସବୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ପ୍ରତି ଘଟାଇବା କାରଣ ସମାନେେ ମାରେ ବାକ୍ଯ ନ ମାନି ଅବାଧ୍ଯ ହାଇେଅଛନ୍ତି।'
1 Thus saith the Lord, Go and get a potter’s earthen bottle, and take of the ancients of the people, and of the ancients of the priests;
2 And go forth unto the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the east gate, and proclaim there the words that I shall tell thee,
3 And say, Hear ye the word of the Lord, O kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem; Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, the which whosoever heareth, his ears shall tingle.
4 Because they have forsaken me, and have estranged this place, 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;
5 They have built also the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings unto Baal, which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it into my mind:
6 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that this place shall no more be called Tophet, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of slaughter.
7 And 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 hands of them that seek their lives: and their carcases will I give to be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth.
8 And I will make this city desolate, and an hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished and hiss because of all the plagues thereof.
9 And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend in the siege and straitness, wherewith their enemies, and they that seek their lives, shall straiten them.
10 Then shalt thou break the bottle in the sight of the men that go with thee,
11 And shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord 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 them in Tophet, till there be no place to bury.
12 Thus will I do unto this place, saith the Lord, and to the inhabitants thereof, and even make this city as Tophet:
13 And the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, shall be defiled as the place of Tophet, because of all the houses upon whose roofs they have burned incense unto all the host of heaven, and have poured out drink offerings unto other gods.
14 Then came Jeremiah from Tophet, whither the Lord had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of the Lord’s house; and said to all the people,
15 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon all her towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it, because they have hardened their necks, that they might not hear my words.

அவர்கள் உங்களை நோக்கி: ஜோதிடம் பார்க்கிறவர்களிடத்திலும், முணுமுணுவென்று ஓதுகிற குறிசொல்கிறவர்களிடத்திலும் விசாரியுங்கள் என்று சொல்லும்போது, மக்கள் தன் தேவனிடத்தில் விசாரிக்கவேண்டியதல்லவோ? உயிருள்ளவர்களுக்காகச் செத்தவர்களிடத்தில் விசாரிக்கலாமோ?
Tamil Easy Reading Version
சிலர், “என்ன செய்யலாம் என்பதையும் எதிர்காலம் பற்றி சொல்பவர்களையும், அஞ்சனம் பார்க்கிறவர்களையும் கேளுங்கள்” என்றனர். குறி சொல்லுகிறவர்களும், அஞ்சனம் பார்க்கிறவர்களும் பறவைகளைப் போன்று பேசுவார்கள். மறை பொருள் அறிந்தவர்கள் என்று கேட்பவர்கள் எண்ணும்படியாக கிசு கிசுத்து அவர்கள் பேசுவார்கள். ஆனால், நான் சொல்கிறேன் ஜனங்கள் உதவிக்காக தம் தேவனைக் கேட்க வேண்டும்! குறிசொல்லுகிறவர்களும், அஞ்சனம் பார்க்கிறவர்களும் என்ன செய்யலாம் என்று மரித்துபோனவர்களைக் கேட்கிறார்கள். உயிரோடு இருக்கிறவர்கள் மரித்துப்போனவர்களிடம் ஏன் இதுபோல் கேட்க வேண்டும்?
Thiru Viviliam
“மாயவித்தைக்காரரையும், முணுமுணுத்து மந்திரங்களை ஓதிக் குறி சொல்வோரையும் அணுகிக் குறி கேளுங்கள் என்று அவர்கள் உங்களிடம் சொல்வார்கள். மக்கள் தம் குலதெய்வத்தை நாடிக் குறி கேளாதிருப்பார்களோ? உயிருள்ளோருக்காகச் செத்தவர்களை விசாரிப்பதல்லவா முறைமை?” என்பார்கள்.
