Jeremiah 7
1 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
Èyí ni ọ̀rọ̀ tó tọ Jeremiah wá láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa.
2 “Stand in the gate of the house of the LORD and proclaim this message: Hear the word of the LORD, all you people of Judah who enter through these gates to worship the LORD.
“Dúró ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà ilé Olúwa kí o sì kéde ọ̀rọ̀ yí: “‘Ẹ gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa gbogbo ẹ̀yin ará Juda tí ń gba ọ̀nà yí wọlé láti wá sin Olúwa.
3 Thus says the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel: Correct your ways and deeds, and I will let you live in this place.
Èyí ni ọ̀rọ̀ tí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí: Tún àwọn ọ̀nà yín ṣe, èmi yóò sì jẹ́ kí ẹ gbé ilẹ̀ yìí.
4 Do not trust in deceptive words, chanting: ‘This is the temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD.’
Má ṣe gba ọ̀rọ̀ ẹ̀tàn gbọ́ kí ẹ sì wí pé, “Èyí ni tẹmpili Olúwa ilé tẹmpili Olúwa, ilé tẹmpili Olúwa!”
5 For if you really correct your ways and deeds, if you act justly toward one another,
Bí ẹ̀yin bá tún ọ̀nà yín àti iṣẹ́ yín ṣe nítòótọ́, tí ẹ sì ń bá ara yín lò ní ọ̀nà tó tọ́.
6 if you no longer oppress the foreigner and the fatherless and the widow, and if you no longer shed innocent blood in this place or follow other gods to your own harm,
Bí ẹ kò bá fi ara ni àwọn àlejò, àwọn ọmọ aláìní baba àti àwọn opó tí ẹ kò sì ta ẹ̀jẹ̀ aláìṣẹ̀ sílẹ̀ ní ibí yìí, bí ẹ kò bá sì tọ ọlọ́run mìíràn lẹ́yìn sí ìpalára ara yín.
7 then I will let you live in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers forever and ever.
Nígbà náà ni èmi yóò jẹ́ kí ẹ gbé ìbí yìí, nílẹ̀ tí mo fún àwọn baba ńlá yín títí láé.
8 But look, you keep trusting in deceptive words to no avail.
Ẹ wò ó, ẹ ń gba ọ̀rọ̀ ẹ̀tàn tí kò níláárí gbọ́.
9 Will you steal and murder, commit adultery and perjury, burn incense to Baal, and follow other gods that you have not known,
“‘Ẹ̀yin yóò ha jalè, kí ẹ pànìyàn, kí ẹ ṣe panṣágà, kí ẹ búra èké, kí ẹ sun tùràrí sí Baali, kí ẹ sì tọ ọlọ́run mìíràn tí ẹ̀yin kò mọ̀ lọ?
10 and then come and stand before Me in this house, which bears My Name, and say, ‘We are delivered, so we can continue with all these abominations’?
Nígbà náà ni kí ó wá dúró ní iwájú nínú ilé yìí tí a fi orúkọ mi pè, “Kí ẹ wá wí pé àwa yè,” àwa yè láti ṣe gbogbo àwọn nǹkan ìríra wọ̀nyí bí?
11 Has this house, which bears My Name, become a den of robbers in your sight? Yes, I too have seen it, declares the LORD.
Ṣé ilé yìí, tí a fi orúkọ mi pè ti di ihò àwọn ọlọ́ṣà lọ́dọ̀ yín ni? Èmi ti ń wò ó! ni Olúwa wí.
12 But go now to the place in Shiloh where I first made a dwelling for My Name, and see what I did to it because of the wickedness of My people Israel.
“‘Ẹ lọ nísinsin yìí sí Ṣilo níbi ti mo kọ́ fi ṣe ibùgbé fún orúkọ mi, kí ẹ sì rí ohun tí mo ṣe sí i nítorí ìwà búburú Israẹli tí í ṣe ènìyàn mi.
13 And now, because you have done all these things, declares the LORD, and because I have spoken to you again and again but you would not listen, and I have called to you but you would not answer,
Nígbà tí ẹ̀yin ń ṣe àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí ni èmi bá a yín sọ̀rọ̀ léraléra ni Olúwa wí ẹ̀yin kò gbọ́, èmi pè yín, ẹ̀yin kò dáhùn.
14 therefore what I did to Shiloh I will now do to the house that bears My Name, the house in which you trust, the place that I gave to you and your fathers.
Nítorí náà, èmi yóò ṣe ohun tí mo ṣe sí Ṣilo sí ilé náà tí a fi orúkọ mi pè, ilé tẹmpili nínú èyí tí ẹ ní ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé, ààyè tí mo fún ẹ̀yin àti àwọn baba yín.
15 And I will cast you out of My presence, just as I have cast out all your brothers, all the descendants of Ephraim.
Èmi yóò tú kúrò ní iwájú mi gẹ́gẹ́ bí mo ti ṣe sí àwọn arákùnrin yín, àwọn ará Efraimu.’
16 As for you, do not pray for these people, do not offer a plea or petition on their behalf, and do not beg Me, for I will not listen to you.
“Nítorí náà má ṣe gbàdúrà fún àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí tàbí kí o bẹ̀bẹ̀ fún wọn; ma ṣe bẹ̀ mí, nítorí èmi kì yóò tẹ́tí sí ọ.
17 Do you not see what they are doing in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
Ṣé ìwọ kò rí ohun tí wọ́n ń ṣe ní àwọn ìlú Juda àti ní òpópó Jerusalẹmu?
18 The sons gather wood, the fathers light the fire, and the women knead the dough to make cakes for the Queen of Heaven; they pour out drink offerings to other gods to provoke Me to anger.
Àwọn ọmọ ṣa igi jọ, àwọn baba fi iná sí i, àwọn ìyá sì po ìyẹ̀fun láti ṣe àkàrà fún ayaba ọ̀run, wọ́n tú ẹbọ ọrẹ mímu sí àwọn ọlọ́run àjèjì láti ru bínú mi sókè.
19 But am I the One they are provoking? declares the LORD. Is it not themselves they spite, to their own shame?
Ṣùgbọ́n ṣe èmi ni wọ́n fẹ́ mú bínú? ni Olúwa wí. Ǹjẹ́ kì í ṣe pé wọ́n kúkú ń pa ara wọn lára sí ìtìjú ara wọn?
20 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, My anger and My fury will be poured out on this place, on man and beast, on the trees of the field and the produce of the land, and it will burn and not be extinguished.
“‘Nítorí náà, èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa Olódùmarè wí, “Èmi yóò tú ìbínú àti ìrunú mi sí orílẹ̀ yìí ènìyàn àti ẹranko, igi, pápá àti èso orí ilẹ̀, yóò sì jó tí kò ní ṣe é pa.”
21 This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: Add your burnt offerings to your other sacrifices and eat the meat yourselves!
“‘Èyí ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run àwọn ọmọ-ogun, Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí: Tẹ̀síwájú kí ẹ kó ẹbọ sísun yín àti àwọn ẹbọ yòókù papọ̀ kí ẹ̀yin kí ó sì jẹ ẹran wọ́n fúnra yín.
22 For when I brought your fathers out of the land of Egypt, I did not merely command them about burnt offerings and sacrifices,
Ní tòsí nígbà tí mo mú àwọn baba ńlá yín jáde kúrò ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti tí mo sì bá wọn sọ̀rọ̀. N kò pàṣẹ fún wọn lórí ẹbọ sísun lásán.
23 but this is what I commanded them: Obey Me, and I will be your God, and you will be My people. You must walk in all the ways I have commanded you, so that it may go well with you.
Mo pàṣẹ fún wọn báyìí pé; gbọ́ tèmi, èmi yóò sì jẹ́ Ọlọ́run yín ẹ̀yin yóò sì jẹ́ ènìyàn mi. Máa rìn ní ojú ọ̀nà tí mo pàṣẹ fún yín, kí ó lè dára fún yín.
24 Yet they did not listen or incline their ear, but they followed the stubborn inclinations of their own evil hearts. They went backward and not forward.
Ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò gbọ́, wọn kò sì fetísílẹ̀ dípò èyí wọ́n ń tẹ̀ sí ọ̀nà agídí ọkàn wọn. Dípò kí wọn tẹ̀síwájú wọ́n ń rẹ̀yìn.
25 From the day your fathers came out of the land of Egypt until this day, I have sent you all My servants the prophets again and again.
Láti ìgbà tí àwọn baba ńlá yín ti jáde ní Ejibiti títí di òní, ni èmi ti ń rán àwọn ìránṣẹ́ mi, àwọn wòlíì sí yín.
26 Yet they would not listen to Me or incline their ear, but they stiffened their necks and did more evil than their fathers.
Wọn kò gbọ́ wọn kò sì fetísílẹ̀. Wọ́n wa ọrùn le, wọn wa ọrùn kì, wọ́n sì hu ìwà ìbàjẹ́ ju àwọn baba ńlá wọn.’
27 When you tell them all these things, they will not listen to you. When you call to them, they will not answer.
“Nígbà tí ìwọ bá sọ gbogbo èyí fún wọn, wọn kì yóò gbọ́ tirẹ̀, nígbà tí ìwọ bá sì pè wọ́n, wọn kì yóò dáhùn.
28 Therefore you must say to them, ‘This is the nation that would not listen to the voice of the LORD their God and would not receive correction. Truth has perished; it has disappeared from their lips.
Nítorí náà, sọ fún wọn pé, ‘Èyí ni orílẹ̀-èdè tí kò gbọ́ ti Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ̀ tàbí kí ó ṣe ìgbọ́ràn sí ìbáwí. Ọ̀rọ̀ òtítọ́ kò sí ní ètè wọn.
29 Cut off your hair and throw it away. Raise up a lamentation on the barren heights, for the LORD has rejected and forsaken the generation of His wrath.’
“‘Gé irun yín kí ẹ sì dàánù, pohùnréré ẹkún lórí òkè, nítorí Olúwa ti kọ ìran yìí tí ó wà lábẹ́ ìbínú rẹ̀ sílẹ̀.
30 For the people of Judah have done evil in My sight, declares the LORD. They have set up their abominations in the house that bears My Name, and so have defiled it.
“‘Àwọn ènìyàn Juda ti ṣe búburú lójú mi, ni Olúwa wí. Wọ́n ti to àwọn ère ìríra wọn jọ sí ilé tí a fi orúkọ mi pè wọ́n sì ti sọ ọ́ di àìmọ́.
31 They have built the high places of Topheth in the Valley of Hinnom so they could burn their sons and daughters in the fire—something I never commanded, nor did it even enter My mind.
Wọ́n ti kọ́ àwọn ibi gíga ti Tofeti ní àfonífojì Beni-Hinnomu láti sun àwọn ọmọkùnrin àti ọmọbìnrin wọn nínú iná èyí tí èmi kò pàṣẹ tí kò sì wá sí ọkàn mi.
32 So behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when this place will no longer be called Topheth and the Valley of Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter. For they will bury the dead in Topheth until there is no more room.
Nítorí náà kíyèsára ọjọ́ ń bọ̀, ni Olúwa wí, nígbà tí àwọn ènìyàn kò ní pè é ní Tafeti tàbí àfonífojì ti Beni-Hinnomu; ṣùgbọ́n yóò ma jẹ àfonífojì ìparun, nítorí wọn yóò sin òkú sí Tofeti títí kò fi ní sí ààyè mọ́.
33 The corpses of this people will become food for the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth, and there will be no one to scare them away.
Nígbà náà ni òkú àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí yóò di oúnjẹ fún àwọn ẹyẹ ojú ọ̀run àti ẹranko ilẹ̀, kò sì ní sí ẹnìkan tí yóò dẹ́rùbà wọ́n.
34 I will remove from the cities of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem the sounds of joy and gladness and the voices of the bride and bridegroom, for the land will become a wasteland.”
Èmi yóò mú òpin bá ìró ayọ̀ àti ìdùnnú àti ohùn àwọn tọkọtaya ní àwọn ìlú Juda àti ní ìgboro Jerusalẹmu, nítorí tí ilẹ̀ náà yóò di ahoro.
