< Jeremias 42 >

1 THE WORD THAT CAME TO JEREMIAS from the Lord in the days of Joakim, king of Juda, saying,
Nígbà náà ní gbogbo àwọn olórí ogun àti Johanani ọmọkùnrin Karea àti Jesaniah ọmọkùnrin Hoṣaiah àti kékeré títí dé orí ẹni ńlá wá.
2 Go to the house of the Archabin, and thou shalt bring them to the house of the Lord, into one of the courts, and give them wine to drink.
Sí ọ̀dọ̀ Jeremiah wòlíì náà, wọ́n sì sọ fún un pé, “Jọ̀wọ́ gbọ́ ẹ̀bẹ̀ wa, kí o sì gbàdúrà sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ fún gbogbo ìyókù yìí. Nítorí gẹ́gẹ́ bi ìwọ ṣe rí i nísinsin yìí pé a pọ̀ níye nígbà kan rí; ṣùgbọ́n báyìí àwa díẹ̀ la ṣẹ́kù.
3 So I brought forth Jechonias the son of Jeremin the son of Chabasin, and his brethren, and his sons, and all the family of the Archabin;
Gbàdúrà pé kí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ sọ ibi tí àwa yóò lọ fún wa àti ohun tí àwa yóò ṣe.”
4 and I brought them into the house of the Lord, into the chamber of the sons of Joanan, the son of Ananias, the son of Godolias, a man of God, who dwells near the house of the princes that are over the house of Maasaeas the son of Selom, who kept the court.
Wòlíì Jeremiah sì dáhùn wí pé, “Mo ti gbọ́. Èmi yóò gbàdúrà sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹ̀yin ṣe béèrè. Èmi yóò sọ gbogbo ohun tí Olúwa bá sọ fún un yín, ń kò sì ní fi ohunkóhun pamọ́ fún un yín.”
5 And I set before them a jar of wine, and cups, and I said, Drink ye wine.
Nígbà náà ni wọ́n sọ fún Jeremiah wí pé, “Kí Olúwa ṣe ẹlẹ́rìí òtítọ́ àti òdodo láàrín wa, bí àwa kò bá ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí gbogbo ohun tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ bá rán ọ láti sọ fún wa.
6 But they said, We will on no account drink wine, for our father Jonadab the son of Rechab commanded us, saying, Ye shall on no account drink wine, [neither] ye, nor your sons for ever:
Ìbá à ṣe rere, ìbá à ṣe búburú, àwa yóò gbọ́rọ̀ sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa, èyí tí àwa ń rán ọ sí, kí ó ba à lè dára fún wa. Nítorí pé àwa yóò gbọ́rọ̀ sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa.”
7 nor shall ye at all build houses, nor sow any seed, nor shall ye have a vineyard: for ye shall dwell in tents all your days; that ye may live many days upon the land, in which ye sojourn.
Lẹ́yìn ọjọ́ mẹ́wàá, ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ Jeremiah wá,
8 And we hearkened to the voice of Jonadab our father, so as to drink no wine all our days, we, and our wives, and our sons, and our daughters;
O sì pe Johanani ọmọkùnrin Karea àti gbogbo àwọn olórí ogun tí wọ́n wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀; àti gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn láti orí ẹni tí ó kéré dé orí ẹni ńlá.
9 and so as to build no houses to dwell in: and we have had no vineyard, nor field, nor seed:
Ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run àwọn Israẹli wí: ‘Èyí ni ẹni tí ẹ̀yin ti rán láti gbé ẹ̀bẹ̀ yín lọ síwájú mi.
10 but we have dwelt in tents, and have hearkened, and done according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us.
Bí ẹ̀yin bá gbé ní ilẹ̀ yìí, èmi yóò gbé e yín ró, n kò sí ní fà yín lulẹ̀, èmi yóò gbìn yín, n kì yóò fà yín tu nítorí wí pé èmi yí ọkàn padà ní ti ibi tí mo ti ṣe sí i yín.
11 And it came to pass, when Nabuchodonosor came up against the land, that we said we would come in; and we entered into Jerusalem, for fear of the host of the Chaldeans, and for fear of the host of the Assyrians: and we dwelt there.
Ẹ má ṣe bẹ̀rù ọba Babeli tí ẹ̀yin ń bẹ̀rù, báyìí ẹ má ṣe bẹ̀rù rẹ̀ ni Olúwa wí; nítorí tí èmi wà pẹ̀lú yín láti pa yín mọ́ àti láti gbà yín ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀.
12 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Èmi yóò fi àánú hàn sí i yín, kí ó lè ṣàánú fún un yín, kí ó sì mú un yín padà sí ilẹ̀ yín.’
13 Thus saith the Lord, Go, and say to the men of Juda, and to them that dwell in Jerusalem, Will ye not receive correction to hearken to my words?
“Ṣùgbọ́n sá, bí ẹ̀yin bá wí pé, ‘Àwa kò ní gbé ilẹ̀ yìí,’ ẹ̀yin ti ṣe àìgbọ́ràn sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín.
14 The sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have kept the word which he commanded his children, that they should drink no wine; and they have not drunk [it]: but I spoke to you early, and ye hearkened not.
Àti pé bí ẹ̀yin bá wí pé, ‘Bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́, àwa yóò lọ gbé ní Ejibiti; níbi tí àwa kì yóò rí ìró ogunkógun, tí a kì yóò sì gbọ́ ìró fèrè, tí ebi oúnjẹ kì yóò sì pa wá, níbẹ̀ ni àwa ó sì máa gbé,’
15 And I sent to you my servants the prophets, saying, Turn ye every one from his evil way, and amend your practices, and go not after other gods to serve them, and ye shall dwell upon the land which I gave to you and to your fathers: but ye inclined not your ears, and hearkened not.
nítorí náà, ẹ gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa ẹ̀yin ìyókù Juda èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run àwọn ọmọ-ogun Israẹli wí: ‘Bí ẹ̀yin bá pinnu láti lọ sí Ejibiti láti lọ ṣe àtìpó níbẹ̀.
16 But the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have kept the command of their father; but this people has not hearkened to me.
Yóò sì ṣe, idà tí ẹ̀yin bẹ̀rù yóò sì lé e yín bá níbẹ̀; àti ìyanu náà tí ẹ̀yin ń bẹ̀rù yóò sì tẹ̀lé yín lọ sí Ejibiti àti pé ibẹ̀ ni ẹ̀yin yóò kú sí.
17 Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, I [will] bring upon Juda and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evils which I pronounced against them.
Nítorí náà, gbogbo àwọn tí ó ti pinnu láti ṣe àtìpó ní Ejibiti ni yóò ti ipa idà kú, ìyàn àti àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn kò sì ní jẹ́ kí ẹnikẹ́ni nínú wọn yè tàbí sá àsálà nínú ibi tí èmi yóò mú wá sórí wọn.’
18 Therefore thus saith the Lord; Since the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have hearkened to the command of their father, to do as their father commanded them:
Báyìí ni ohun tí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí: ‘Gẹ́gẹ́ bí èmi ti da ìbínú àti ìrunú síta sórí àwọn tí ó ń gbé ní Jerusalẹmu, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìrunú mi yóò dà síta sórí yín, nígbà tí ẹ̀yin bá lọ sí Ejibiti. Ẹ̀yin ó sì di ẹni ègún àti ẹni ẹ̀gàn àti ẹ̀sín, ẹ̀yin kì yóò sì rí ibí yìí mọ́.’
19 there shall never be wanting a man of the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab to stand before my face while the earth remains.
“Ẹ̀yin yòókù Juda, Olúwa ti sọ fún un yín pé, ‘Kí ẹ má ṣe lọ sí Ejibiti.’ Ẹ mọ èyí dájú, èmi kìlọ̀ fún un yín lónìí,

Mo ti sọ fún un yín lónìí, ṣùgbọ́n síbẹ̀ ẹ̀yin kò tí ì gbọ́ ohùn Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, àti gbogbo ohun tí ó rán mi láti sọ fún un yín.
Ǹjẹ́ nísinsin yìí ẹ mọ èyí dájú pé, ẹ̀yin yóò kú nípa idà, ìyàn àti àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn níbikíbi tí ẹ̀yin bá fẹ́ lọ láti ṣe àtìpó.”
