Jeremias 29
1 THUS SAITH THE LORD AGAINST THE PHILISTINES;
Èyí ni ọ̀rọ̀ inú lẹ́tà tí wòlíì Jeremiah rán láti Jerusalẹmu sí ìyókù nínú àwọn àgbàgbà tí ó wà ní ìgbèkùn àti sí àwọn àlùfáà, àwọn wòlíì àti gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn tí Nebukadnessari tí kó ní ìgbèkùn láti Jerusalẹmu lọ sí Babeli.
2 Behold, waters come up from the north, and shall become a sweeping torrent, and it shall sweep away the land, and its fulness; the city, and them that dwell in it: and men shall cry and all that dwell in the land shall howl,
Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí Jekoniah, ọba, àti ayaba, àti àwọn ìwẹ̀fà, àti àwọn ìjòyè Juda àti Jerusalẹmu, àwọn gbẹ́nàgbẹ́nà àti àwọn olùyàwòrán tí wọ́n lọ ṣe àtìpó láti Jerusalẹmu.
3 at the sound of his rushing, at [the sound of] his hoofs, and at the rattling of his chariots, at the noise of his wheels: the fathers turned not to their children because of the weakness of their hands,
Ó fi lẹ́tà náà rán Eleasa ọmọ Ṣafani àti Gemariah ọmọ Hilkiah, ẹni tí Sedekiah ọba Juda rán sí Nebukadnessari ọba Babeli. Wí pé.
4 in the day that is coming to destroy all the Philistines: and I will utterly destroy Tyre and Sidon and all the rest of their allies: for the Lord will destroy the remaining [inhabitants] of the islands.
Èyí ni ọ̀rọ̀ tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run Alágbára Israẹli sọ fún gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn tí mo kó lọ ṣe àtìpó láti Jerusalẹmu ní Babeli:
5 Baldness is come upon Gaza; Ascalon is cast away, and the remnant of the Enakim.
“Ẹ kọ́ ilé kí ẹ sì máa gbé ibẹ̀, ẹ dá oko, kí ẹ sì máa jẹ èso ohun ọ̀gbìn oko yín.
6 How long will you strike, O sword of the Lord? how long will it be ere you are quiet? return into your sheath, rest, and be removed.
Ẹ ṣe ìgbéyàwó, kí ẹ sì bí ọmọkùnrin àti ọmọbìnrin, ẹ gbé ìyàwó fún àwọn ọmọkùnrin yín, kí ẹ sì fi àwọn ọmọbìnrin yín fún ọkọ. Kí àwọn náà lè ní ọmọkùnrin àti ọmọbìnrin. Ẹ máa pọ̀ sí i ní iye, ẹ kò gbọdọ̀ dínkù ní iye níbẹ̀ rárá.
7 How shall it be quiet, whereas the Lord has given it a commission against Ascalon, and against the regions on the sea-coast, to awake against the remaining [countries]! CONCERNING IDUMEA, thus says the Lord; There is no longer wisdom in Thaeman, counsel has perished from the wise ones, their wisdom is gone,
Bákan náà, ẹ máa wá àlàáfíà àti ìre ìlú, èyí tí mo kó yín lọ láti ṣe àtìpó. Ẹ gbàdúrà sí Olúwa fún ìre ilẹ̀ náà; nítorí pé bí ó bá dára fún ilẹ̀ náà, yóò dára fún ẹ̀yin pẹ̀lú.”
8 their place has been deceived. Dig deep for a dwelling, you that inhabit Daedam, for he has wrought grievously: I brought trouble upon him in the time at which I visited him.
Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí: “Ẹ má ṣe gbà kí àwọn wòlíì èké àti àwọn aláfọ̀ṣẹ àárín yín tàn yín jẹ. Ẹ má ṣe fetísílẹ̀ sí àlá, èyí tí ẹ gbà wọ́n níyànjú láti lá.
9 For grape gatherers are come, who shall not leave you a remnant; as thieves by night, they shall lay their hand upon [your possessions].
Wọ́n ń sọ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ èké fún yín lórúkọ mi, Èmi kò rán wọn níṣẹ́,” ni Olúwa wí.
10 For I have stripped Esau, I have uncovered their secret places; they shall have no power to hide themselves, they have perished [each] by the hand of his brother, my neighbour, and it is impossible
Báyìí ni Olúwa wí: “Nígbà tí ẹ bá lo àádọ́rin ọdún pé ní Babeli, èmi yóò tọ̀ yín wá láti ṣe àmúṣẹ ìlérí ńlá mi fún un yín, àní láti kó o yín padà sí Jerusalẹmu.
11 for your fatherless one to be left to live, but I shall live, and the widows trust in me.
Nítorí mo mọ èrò tí mo rò sí yín,” ni Olúwa wí, “àní èrò àlàáfíà, kì í sì ṣe fún ibi, èrò láti fún un yín ní ìgbà ìkẹyìn àti ìrètí ọjọ́ iwájú.
12 For thus says the Lord; They who were not appointed to drink the cup have drunk [it]; and you shall by no means be cleared:
Nígbà náà ni ẹ̀yin yóò ké pè mí, tí ẹ̀yin yóò sì gbàdúrà sí mi, tí èmi yóò sì gbọ́ àdúrà yín.
13 for by myself I have sworn, says the Lord, that you shall be in the midst of her an impassable [land], and a reproach, and a curse; and all her cities shall be desert for ever.
Ẹ̀yin yóò wá mi, bí ẹ̀yin bá sì fi gbogbo ọkàn yín wá mi: ẹ̀yin yóò rí mi ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run wí.
14 I have heard a report from the Lord, and he has sent messengers to the nations, [saying, ]Assemble yourselves, and come against her; rise you up to war.
Èmi yóò di rí rí fún yín ni Olúwa wí, Èmi yóò sì mú yín padà kúrò ní ìgbèkùn. Èmi yóò ṣà yín jọ láti gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè àti ibi gbogbo tí Èmi ti lé yín jáde, ni Olúwa wí. Èmi yóò sì kó yín padà sí ibi tí mo ti mú kí a kó yín ní ìgbèkùn lọ.”
15 I have made you small amongst the nations, utterly contemptible amongst men.
Ẹ̀yin lè wí pé, “Olúwa ti gbé àwọn wòlíì dìde fún wa ní Babeli.”
16 Your insolence has risen up against you, the fierceness of your heart has burst the holes of the rocks, it has seized upon the strength of a lofty hill; for as an eagle he set his nest on high: thence will I bring you down.
Ṣùgbọ́n èyí ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa ní ti ọba tí ó jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ Dafidi àti ní ti gbogbo ènìyàn tó ṣẹ́kù ní ìlú yìí; àní ní ti àwọn ènìyàn yín tí kò bá yín lọ sí ìgbèkùn,
17 And Idumea shall be a desert: every one that passes by shall hiss at it.
bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, báyìí ni Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí pé, “Èmi yóò rán idà, ìyàn àti àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn sí àárín wọn; Èmi yóò ṣe wọ́n bí èso ọ̀pọ̀tọ́ búburú tí kò ṣe é jẹ.
18 As Sodom was overthrown and Gomorrha and they that sojourned in her, says the Lord Almighty, no man shall dwell there, nor shall any son of man inhabit there.
Èmi yóò fi idà, ìyàn àti àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn lépa wọn, Èmi yóò sì sọ wọ́n di ìríra lójú gbogbo ìjọba ayé, fún ègún, àti ìyanu, àti ẹ̀sín, àti ẹ̀gàn láàrín gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè ayé, ní ibi tí Èmi yóò lé wọn sí.
19 Behold, he shall come up as a lion out of the midst of Jordan to the place of Aetham: for I will speedily drive them from it, and do you set the young men against her: for who is like me? and who will withstand me? and who [is] this shepherd, who shall confront me?
Nítorí wọ́n kọ̀ láti gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ mi,” ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run wí. Ọ̀rọ̀ tí mo tún ti ẹnu àwọn ìránṣẹ́ mi wòlíì sọ ní ẹ̀yin tí ń ṣe àtìpó kò gbọ́ ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run wí.
20 Therefore hear you the counsel of the Lord, which he has framed against Idumea; and his device, which he has devised against the inhabitants of Thaeman: surely the least of the sheep shall be swept off; surely their dwelling shall be made desolate for them.
Nítorí náà, gbogbo ẹ̀yin ìgbèkùn, ẹ gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa, ẹ̀yin tí mo rán lọ kúrò ní Jerusalẹmu lọ sí Babeli.
21 For at the sound of their fall the earth was scared, and the cry of the sea was not heard.
Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun, Ọlọ́run Israẹli sọ nípa Ahabu ọmọ Kolaiah àti nípa Sedekiah ọmọ Maaseiah tí wọ́n ń sọ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ èké fún un yín lórúkọ mi: “Èmi yóò fi wọ́n lé Nebukadnessari ọba Babeli lọ́wọ́. Òun yóò sì gba ẹ̀mí wọn ní ìṣẹ́jú yìí gan an.
22 Behold, he shall look [upon her] as an eagle, and spread forth [his] wings over her strongholds; and the heart of the mighty men of Idumea shall be in that day as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
Nítorí tiwọn, ègún yìí yóò ran gbogbo àwọn àtìpó tó wà ní ilẹ̀ Babeli láti Juda: ‘Olúwa yóò ṣe yín bí i Sedekiah àti Ahabu tí ọba Babeli dáná sun.’
Nítorí wọ́n ti ṣe ibi ní ilé Israẹli, wọ́n ti ṣe àgbèrè pẹ̀lú àwọn ìyàwó aládùúgbò wọn, àti ní orúkọ mi ni wọ́n ti ṣe èké, èyí tí Èmi kò rán wọn láti ṣe. Ṣùgbọ́n, Èmi mọ àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí, mo sì jẹ́ ẹlẹ́rìí sí i,” ni Olúwa wí.
Wí fún Ṣemaiah tí í ṣe Nehalami pé,
“Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run Alágbára Israẹli wí: Ìwọ fi lẹ́tà ránṣẹ́ sí gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn ní Jerusalẹmu sí Sefaniah ọmọ Maaseiah tí í ṣe àlùfáà ní orúkọ mi; ó sì sọ fún Sefaniah wí pé,
‘Olúwa ti yàn ọ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí àlùfáà rọ́pò Jehoiada láti máa jẹ́ alákòóso ilé Olúwa, kí o máa fi èyíkéyìí nínú àwọn aṣiwèrè tó bá ṣe bí i wòlíì si inú àgò irin.
Nítorí náà, èéṣe tí o kò fi bá Jeremiah ará Anatoti wí. Ẹni tí ó ń dúró bí i wòlíì láàrín yín?
Ó ti rán iṣẹ́ yìí sí wa ni Babeli wí pé, àtìpó náà yóò pẹ́ kí ó tó parí, nítorí náà, ẹ kọ́ ilé kí ẹ sì máa gbé ibẹ̀, ẹ dá oko, kí ẹ sì máa jẹ èso ohun ọ̀gbìn oko yín.’”
Sefaniah àlùfáà ka lẹ́tà náà sí etí ìgbọ́ Jeremiah tí í ṣe wòlíì.
Nígbà náà ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ Jeremiah wá wí pé,
“Rán iṣẹ́ yìí sí gbogbo àwọn ìgbèkùn wí pé: ‘Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí ní ti Ṣemaiah, ará Nehalami: Nítorí pé Ṣemaiah ti sọtẹ́lẹ̀ fún un yín, ṣùgbọ́n èmi kò ran an, tí òun sì ń mú u yín gbẹ́kẹ̀lé èké.
Nítorí náà báyìí ni Olúwa wí: Wò ó, èmi yóò bẹ Ṣemaiah, ará Nehalami wò, àti irú-ọmọ rẹ̀; òun kì yóò ní ọkùnrin kan láti máa gbé àárín ènìyàn yìí, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kì yóò rí rere náà tí èmi yóò ṣe fún àwọn ènìyàn mi ni Olúwa wí, nítorí ó ti ti kéde ìṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí mi.’”
