Listen to the word of Yahweh! YahwehSabaoth, the God of Israel, says this: I am about to bring such a disaster on this place that the ears of every onewho hears of it wil ring.
4 eo quod dereliquerint me et alienum fecerint locum istumet sacrificaverint in eo diis alienis, quos nescierunt ipsi et patres eorum etreges Iudae; et repleverunt locum istum sanguine innocentium;	4 For they have abandoned me and have made this place unrecognisable, and offered incense here toother gods which neither they nor their ancestors nor the kings of Judah ever knew before. They have fil ed thisplace with the blood of the innocent;
5 etaedificaverunt excelsa Baal ad comburendos filios suos igne in holocaustum Baal:quae non praecepi nec locutus sum, nec ascenderunt in cor meum.	5 for they have built high places for Baal to burn their sons as burnt offerings to Baal, a thing I neverordered, never mentioned, that had never entered my thoughts.
6 Propterea eccedies veniunt, dicit Dominus, et non vocabitur amplius locus iste Topheth etvallis Benennom sed vallis Occisionis.	6 So now the days are coming, Yahweh declares, when people will no longer cal this place Topheth, orVal ey of Ben-Hinnom, but Val ey of Slaughter.

8 Et ponam civitatem hanc in stuporem et in sibilum;omnis, qui praeterierit per eam, obstupescet et sibilabit super universa plagaeius.	8 And I shal make this city an object of horror and derision; every passer-by will be appal ed at it andwhistle at the sight of al the wounds it has sustained.
9 Et cibabo eos carnibus filiorum suorum et carnibus filiarum suarum; etunusquisque carnem amici sui comedet in obsidione et in angustia, in quaconcludent eos inimici eorum et qui quaerunt animas eorum.	9 I shal make them eat the flesh of their own sons and daughters: they wil eat one another during thesiege, in the shortage to which their enemies, and those determined to kil them, will reduce them."
10 Et conteres lagunculam in oculis virorum, qui ibunt tecum,	10 'You must break this jug in front of the men who are with you,
11 et dices adeos: Haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Sic conteram populum istum et civitatemistam, sicut conteritur vas figuli, quod non potest ultra instaurari; et inTopheth sepelientur, eo quod non sit alius locus ad sepeliendum.	11 and say to them, "Yahweh Sabaoth says this: I am going to break this people and this city just as onebreaks a potter's pot, so that it can never be mended again. "Topheth wil become a burial ground, for lack ofother burial space.

15 “ Haec dicitDominus exercituum, Deus Israel: Ecce ego inducam super civitatem hanc et superomnes urbes eius universa mala, quae locutus sum adversum eam, quoniaminduraverunt cervicem suam, ut non audirent sermones meos ”.	15 'Yahweh Sabaoth, the God of Israel, says this, "Yes, on this city, and on all the towns belonging to it, Ishall bring all the disaster which I had decreed for it, since they have stubbornly refused to listen to my words."
