< Jeremiah 15 >

1 Then the LORD said to me: “Even if Moses and Samuel should stand before Me, My heart would not go out to this people. Send them from My presence, and let them go.
Nígbà náà ni Olúwa sọ fún mi pé: “Kódà kí Mose àti Samuẹli dúró níwájú mi, ọkàn mi kì yóò lọ sọ́dọ̀ àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí. Mú wọn kúrò níwájú mi! Jẹ́ kí wọn ó lọ!
2 If they ask you, ‘Where shall we go?’ you are to tell them that this is what the LORD says: ‘Those destined for death, to death; those destined for the sword, to the sword; those destined for famine, to famine; and those destined for captivity, to captivity.’
Tí wọ́n bá sì bi ọ́ pé, ‘Níbo ni kí a lọ?’ Sọ fún wọn pé, ‘Báyìí ni Olúwa wí: “‘Àwọn tí a kọ ikú mọ́, sí ikú; àwọn tí a kọ idà mọ́, sí idà; àwọn tí a kọ ìyàn mọ́, sí ìyàn; àwọn tí a kọ ìgbèkùn mọ́ sí ìgbèkùn.’
3 I will appoint over them four kinds of destroyers, declares the LORD: the sword to kill, the dogs to drag away, and the birds of the air and beasts of the earth to devour and destroy.
“Èmi yóò rán oríṣìí ìjìyà mẹ́rin láti kọlù wọ́n,” ni Olúwa wí, “Idà láti pa, àwọn ajá láti wọ́ wọn lọ, àwọn ẹyẹ ojú ọ̀run àti àwọn ẹranko orí ilẹ̀ láti jẹ àti láti parun.
4 I will make them a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth because of what Manasseh son of Hezekiah king of Judah did in Jerusalem.
N ó sọ wọ́n di ẹni ìkórìíra níwájú gbogbo ìjọba ayé torí ohun tí Manase ọmọ Hesekiah ọba Juda ṣe ní Jerusalẹmu.
5 Who will have pity on you, O Jerusalem? Who will mourn for you? Who will turn aside to ask about your welfare?
“Ta ni yóò ṣàánú rẹ, ìwọ Jerusalẹmu? Ta ni yóò dárò rẹ? Ta ni yóò dúró béèrè àlàáfíà rẹ?
6 You have forsaken Me, declares the LORD. You have turned your back. So I will stretch out My hand against you and I will destroy you; I am weary of showing compassion.
O ti kọ̀ mí sílẹ̀,” ni Olúwa wí, “Ìwọ sì wà nínú ìpadàsẹ́yìn. Nítorí náà, Èmi yóò dáwọ́lé ọ, èmi ó sì pa ọ́ run, Èmi kò sì ní fi ojú àánú wò ọ́ mọ́.
7 I will scatter them with a winnowing fork at the gates of the land. I will bereave and destroy My people who have not turned from their ways.
Èmi kò tún lè fi ìfẹ́ hàn si ọ, Èmi yóò fi àtẹ fẹ́ wọn sí ẹnu-ọ̀nà ìlú náà. Èmi yóò mú ìṣọ̀fọ̀ àti ìparun bá àwọn ènìyàn mi nítorí pé wọn kò tí ì yípadà kúrò lọ́nà wọn.
8 I will make their widows more numerous than the sand of the sea. I will bring a destroyer at noon against the mothers of young men. I will suddenly bring upon them anguish and dismay.
Èmi yóò jẹ́ kí àwọn opó wọn pọ̀ ju yanrìn Òkun lọ. Ní ọjọ́-kanrí ni èmi ó mú apanirun kọlu àwọn ìyá ọmọkùnrin wọn. Lójijì ni èmi yóò mú ìfòyà àti ìbẹ̀rù bá wọn.
9 The mother of seven will grow faint; she will breathe her last breath. Her sun will set while it is still day; she will be disgraced and humiliated. And the rest I will put to the sword in the presence of their enemies,”
Ìyá ọlọ́mọ méje yóò dákú, yóò sì mí ìmí ìgbẹ̀yìn. Òòrùn rẹ yóò wọ̀ lọ́sàn án gangan, yóò di ẹni ẹ̀tẹ́ òun àbùkù. Èmi yóò fi àwọn tí ó bá yè síwájú àwọn ọ̀tá wọn tí idà wà lọ́wọ́ wọn,” ni Olúwa wí.
10 Woe to me, my mother, that you have borne me, a man of strife and conflict in all the land. I have neither lent nor borrowed, yet everyone curses me.
Háà! Ó ṣe tí ìyá mi bí mi, ọkùnrin tí gbogbo ilẹ̀ dojúkọ tí wọ́n sì bá jà! Èmi kò wínni, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi kò yá lọ́wọ́ ẹnikẹ́ni, síbẹ̀, gbogbo ènìyàn ló ń fi mí ré.
11 The LORD said: “Surely I will deliver you for a good purpose; surely I will intercede with your enemy in your time of trouble, in your time of distress.
Olúwa sọ pé, “Dájúdájú èmi ò dá ọ sí fún ìdí kan pàtó; dájúdájú mo mú kí àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ tẹríba níwájú rẹ nígbà ibi àti ìpọ́njú.
12 Can anyone smash iron— iron from the north—or bronze?
“Ǹjẹ́ ẹnìkan lè fi ọwọ́ ṣẹ́ irin irin láti àríwá tàbí idẹ?
13 Your wealth and your treasures I will give up as plunder, without charge for all your sins within all your borders.
“Gbogbo ọlá àti ìṣúra rẹ ni èmi ó fi sílẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìkógun láìgba nǹkan kan nítorí gbogbo ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ jákèjádò orílẹ̀-èdè rẹ.
14 Then I will enslave you to your enemies in a land you do not know, for My anger will kindle a fire that will burn against you.”
Èmi yóò fi ọ́ ṣẹrú fún àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ ní ìlú tí ìwọ kò mọ̀ nítorí ìbínú mi yóò rán iná tí yóò jó ọ.”
15 You understand, O LORD; remember me and attend to me. Avenge me against my persecutors. In Your patience, do not take me away. Know that I endure reproach for Your honor.
Ó yé ọ, ìwọ Olúwa; rántí mi kí o sì ṣe ìtọ́jú mi. Gbẹ̀san mi lára àwọn tó dìtẹ̀ mi. Ìwọ ti jìyà fún ìgbà pípẹ́, má ṣe mú mi lọ; nínú bí mo ṣe jìyà nítorí tìrẹ.
16 Your words were found, and I ate them. Your words became my joy and my heart’s delight. For I bear Your name, O LORD God of Hosts.
Nígbà tí ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ dé, mo jẹ wọ́n, àwọn ni ìdùnnú àti ayọ̀ ọkàn mi, nítorí pé orúkọ rẹ ni a fi ń pè mí, Ìwọ Olúwa Ọlọ́run Alágbára.
17 I never sat with the band of revelers, nor did I celebrate with them. Because Your hand was on me, I sat alone, for You have filled me with indignation.
Èmi kò fìgbà kan jókòó láàrín àwọn ẹlẹ́gàn, n ko bá wọn yọ ayọ̀ pọ̀; mo dá jókòó torí pé ọwọ́ rẹ wà lára mi, ìwọ sì ti fi ìbínú rẹ kún inú mi.
18 Why is my pain unending, and my wound incurable, refusing to be healed? You have indeed become like a mirage to me— water that is not there.
Èéṣe tí ìrora mi kò lópin, tí ọgbẹ́ mi kò sì ṣe é wòsàn? Ní òtítọ́ ìwọ yóò dàbí kànga ẹ̀tàn sí mi, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìsun tó kọ̀ tí kò sun?
19 Therefore this is what the LORD says: “If you return, I will restore you; you will stand in My presence. And if you speak words that are noble instead of worthless, you will be My spokesman. It is they who must turn to you, but you must not turn to them.
Nítorí náà báyìí ni Olúwa wí, “Tí o bá ronúpìwàdà, Èmi ó dá ọ padà wá kí o lè máa sìn mí; tí ó bá sọ ọ̀rọ̀ tó dára, ìwọ yóò di agbẹnusọ mi. Jẹ́ kí àwọn ènìyàn yìí kọjú sí ọ; ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ kọjú sí wọn.
20 Then I will make you a wall to this people, a fortified wall of bronze; they will fight against you but will not overcome you, for I am with you to save and deliver you, declares the LORD.
Èmi fi ọ́ ṣe odi idẹ tí ó lágbára, sí àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí; wọn ó bá ọ jà ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò ní lè borí rẹ, nítorí pé, mo wà pẹ̀lú rẹ láti gbà ọ́ là, kí n sì dáàbò bò ọ́,” ni Olúwa wí.
21 I will deliver you from the hand of the wicked and redeem you from the grasp of the ruthless.”
“Èmi yóò gbà ọ́ sílẹ̀ lọ́wọ́ àwọn ìkà ènìyàn, Èmi yóò sì rà ọ́ padà kúrò lọ́wọ́ àwọn ẹni búburú.”
