< Jeremiah 20 >

1 When Pashhur the priest, the son of Immer and the chief official in the house of the LORD, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things,
Ní ìgbà tí àlùfáà Paṣuri ọmọkùnrin Immeri olórí àwọn ìjòyè tẹmpili Olúwa gbọ́ tí Jeremiah ń sọ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ nǹkan wọ̀nyí.
2 he had Jeremiah the prophet beaten and put in the stocks at the Upper Gate of Benjamin, which was by the house of the LORD.
Ó mú kí wọ́n lù wòlíì Jeremiah, kí wọ́n sì fi sínú túbú tí ó wà ní òkè ẹnu-ọ̀nà ti Benjamini ní tẹmpili Olúwa.
3 The next day, when Pashhur released Jeremiah from the stocks, Jeremiah said to him, “The LORD does not call you Pashhur, but Magor-missabib.
Ní ọjọ́ kejì tí Paṣuri tú u sílẹ̀ nínú túbú, Jeremiah sì sọ fún un wí pé, “Orúkọ Olúwa fun ọ kì í ṣe Paṣuri bí kò ṣe ìpayà.
4 For this is what the LORD says: ‘I will make you a terror to yourself and to all your friends. They will fall by the sword of their enemies before your very eyes. And I will hand Judah over to the king of Babylon, and he will carry them away to Babylon and put them to the sword.
Nítorí èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa sọ. Èmi yóò mú ọ di ẹ̀rùjẹ̀jẹ̀ sí ara rẹ àti sí gbogbo àwọn ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ. Ní ojú ara rẹ, ìwọ yóò sì rí tí wọ́n ṣubú nípa idà ọ̀tá wọn. Èmi yóò fi gbogbo àwọn ọ̀tá Juda lé ọba Babeli lọ́wọ́, òun yóò sì kó wọn lọ sí Babeli tàbí kí ó pa wọ́n.
5 I will give away all the wealth of this city—all its products and valuables, and all the treasures of the kings of Judah—to their enemies. They will plunder them, seize them, and carry them off to Babylon.
Èmi yóò jọ̀wọ́ gbogbo ọrọ̀ inú ìlú yìí fún ọ̀tá wọn. Gbogbo ìní wọ́n gbogbo ọlá ọba Juda. Wọn yóò sì ru ìkógun lọ sí Babeli.
6 And you, Pashhur, and all who live in your house, will go into captivity. You will go to Babylon, and there you will die and be buried—you and all your friends to whom you have prophesied these lies.’”
Àti ìwọ Paṣuri, gbogbo ènìyàn inú ilé rẹ yóò sì lọ ṣe àtìpó ní Babeli. Níbẹ̀ ni ìwọ yóò sì kú sí, tí wọn yóò sì sin ọ́ síbẹ̀, ìwọ àti gbogbo àwọn ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ tí ìwọ ti sọ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ irọ́ fún.”
7 You have deceived me, O LORD, and I was deceived. You have overcome me and prevailed. I am a laughingstock all day long; everyone mocks me.
Olúwa, o tàn mí jẹ́, o sì ṣẹ́gun. Mo di ẹni ẹ̀gàn ní gbogbo ọjọ́, gbogbo ènìyàn fi mí ṣẹlẹ́yà.
8 For whenever I speak, I cry out; I proclaim violence and destruction. For the word of the LORD has become to me a reproach and derision all day long.
Nígbàkígbà tí mo bá sọ̀rọ̀, èmi sì kígbe síta èmi á sọ nípa ipá àti ìparun. Nítorí náà, ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa ti mú àbùkù àti ẹ̀gàn bá mi ni gbogbo ìgbà.
9 If I say, “I will not mention Him or speak any more in His name,” His message becomes a fire burning in my heart, shut up in my bones, and I become weary of holding it in, and I cannot prevail.
Ṣùgbọ́n bí mo bá sọ pé, “Èmi kì yóò dárúkọ rẹ tàbí sọ nípa orúkọ rẹ̀ mọ́, ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ ń bẹ bi iná tí ń jó nínú mi nínú egungun mi, agara dá mi ní inú mi nítòótọ́ èmi kò lè ṣe é.
10 For I have heard the whispering of many: “Terror is on every side! Report him; let us report him!” All my trusted friends watch for my fall: “Perhaps he will be deceived so that we may prevail against him and take our vengeance upon him.”
Mo gbọ́ sísọ ọ̀rọ̀ kẹ́lẹ́kẹ́lẹ́, ìbẹ̀rù ni ibi gbogbo. Fi í sùn! Jẹ́ kí a fi sùn! Gbogbo àwọn ọ̀rẹ́ mi ń dúró kí èmi ṣubú, wọ́n sì ń sọ pé, bóyá yóò jẹ́ di títàn, nígbà náà ni àwa yóò borí rẹ̀, àwa yóò sì gba ẹ̀san wa lára rẹ̀.”
11 But the LORD is with me like a fearsome warrior. Therefore, my persecutors will stumble and will not prevail. Since they have not succeeded, they will be utterly put to shame, with an everlasting disgrace that will never be forgotten.
Ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa ń bẹ pẹ̀lú mi gẹ́gẹ́ bí akọni ẹlẹ́rù. Nítorí náà, àwọn tí ó ń lépa mi yóò kọsẹ̀, wọn kì yóò sì borí. Wọn yóò kùnà, wọn yóò sì gba ìtìjú púpọ̀. Àbùkù wọn kì yóò sì di ohun ìgbàgbé.
12 O LORD of Hosts, who examines the righteous, who sees the heart and mind, let me see Your vengeance upon them, for to You I have committed my cause.
Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun, ìwọ tí ó ń dán olódodo wò tí o sì ń ṣe àyẹ̀wò ọkàn àti ẹ̀mí fínní fínní, jẹ́ kí èmi kí ó rí ìgbẹ̀san rẹ lórí wọn, nítorí ìwọ ni mo gbé ara mi lé.
13 Sing to the LORD! Praise the LORD! For He rescues the life of the needy from the hands of evildoers.
Kọrin sí Olúwa! Fi ìyìn fún Olúwa! Ó gba ẹ̀mí àwọn aláìní lọ́wọ́ àwọn ẹni búburú.
14 Cursed be the day I was born! May the day my mother bore me never be blessed.
Ègbé ni fún ọjọ́ tí a bí mi! Kí ọjọ́ tí ìyá mi bí mi má ṣe di ti ìbùkún.
15 Cursed be the man who brought my father the news, saying, “A son is born to you,” bringing him great joy.
Ègbé ni fún ọkùnrin tí ó mú ìròyìn wá fún baba mi, tí ó mú kí ó yọ̀, tí ó sì sọ wí pé, “A bí ọmọ kan fún ọ—ọmọkùnrin!”
16 May that man be like the cities that the LORD overthrew without compassion. May he hear an outcry in the morning and a battle cry at noon,
Kí ọkùnrin náà dàbí ìlú tí Olúwa gbàkóso lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀ láìkáàánú Kí o sì gbọ́ ariwo ọ̀fọ̀ ní àárọ̀, ariwo ogun ní ọ̀sán.
17 because he did not kill me in the womb so that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb forever enlarged.
Nítorí kò pa mí nínú, kí ìyá mi sì dàbí títóbi ibojì mi, kí ikùn rẹ̀ sì di títí láé.
18 Why did I come out of the womb to see only trouble and sorrow, and to end my days in shame?
Èéṣe tí mo jáde nínú ikùn, láti rí wàhálà àti ọ̀fọ̀ àti láti parí ayé mi nínú ìtìjú?
