Jeremiah 22
1 Thus says the Lord: “Descend to the house of the king of Judah, and there you shall speak this word.
Báyìí ni Olúwa wí, “Sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí ààfin ọba Juda, kí o sì sọ ọ̀rọ̀ yìí níbẹ̀:
2 And you shall say: Listen to the word of the Lord, O king of Judah, who sits upon the throne of David: you and your servants, and your people, who enter through these gates.
‘Gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa ìwọ ọba Juda, tí ó jókòó ní ìtẹ́ Dafidi, ìwọ, àwọn ènìyàn rẹ àti àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, tí ó wọlé láti ẹnu ibodè wọ̀nyí.
3 Thus says the Lord: Exercise judgment and justice, and free anyone who is oppressed by violence from the hand of a false accuser. And do not be willing to sadden the new arrival, or the orphan, or the widow, nor should you burden them unfairly. And you shall not shed innocent blood in this place.
Báyìí ni Olúwa wí: Ṣé ohun tí ó jẹ́ òtítọ́ tí ó sì yẹ, kí o sì gba ẹni tí a fi ẹ̀tọ́ rẹ̀ dù ú kúrò lọ́wọ́ aninilára. Kí ó má ṣe fi agbára àti ìkà lé àlejò, aláìní baba, tàbí opó, ìwọ kò sì gbọdọ̀ ta ẹ̀jẹ̀ aláìṣẹ̀ sílẹ̀ níbí yìí.
4 For if you will indeed accomplish this word, then there will enter through the gates of this house kings from the stock of David, sitting on his throne, and riding on chariots and on horses: they, and their servants, and their people.
Nítorí bí ẹ̀yin bá tẹ̀lé àṣẹ wọ̀nyí, nígbà náà ni àwọn ọba tí ó jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ Dafidi yóò gba inú ààfin láti ẹnu-ọ̀nà, wọn yóò gun kẹ̀kẹ́ àti ẹṣin, àwọn àti ìránṣẹ́ wọn àti àwọn ènìyàn wọn.
5 But if you will not listen to these words, I swear by myself, says the Lord, that this house will be in desolation.
Ṣùgbọ́n bí ẹ̀yin kò bá tẹ̀lé àṣẹ wọ̀nyí, mo búra fúnra mi pé ààfin yìí yóò di ìparun ni Olúwa wí.’”
6 For thus says the Lord about the house of the king of Judah: You are to me like Gilead, the head of Lebanon. Certainly, I will make you desolate, with uninhabitable cities.
Nítorí báyìí ni Olúwa wí, nípa ààfin ọba Juda, “Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ wí pé ìwọ dàbí Gileadi sí mi, gẹ́gẹ́ bí góńgó òkè Lebanoni, dájúdájú Èmi yóò sọ ọ́ di aṣálẹ̀, àní gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìlú tí a kò gbé inú wọn.
7 And I will sanctify over you the destroying man and his weapons. And they will cut down your select cedars and throw them violently into the fire.
Èmi ó ya àwọn apanirun sọ́tọ̀ fún ọ, olúkúlùkù ọkùnrin pẹ̀lú ohun ìjà rẹ̀, wọn yóò sì gé àṣàyàn igi kedari rẹ lulẹ̀, wọn ó sì kó wọn jù sínú iná.
8 And many nations will pass through this city. And each one will say to his neighbor: ‘Why has the Lord acted in this way toward this great city?’
“Àwọn ènìyàn láti ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ orílẹ̀-èdè yóò rékọjá lẹ́bàá ìlú yìí wọn yóò sì máa bi ara wọn léèrè pé, ‘Èéṣe tí Olúwa ṣe irú èyí sí ìlú ńlá yìí?’
9 And they will answer: ‘It is because they abandoned the covenant of the Lord their God, and they adored strange gods and served them.’
Ìdáhùn wọn yóò sì jẹ́: ‘Nítorí tí wọ́n ti kọ májẹ̀mú Olúwa Ọlọ́run wọn sílẹ̀, wọn ti ń fi orí balẹ̀ fún ọlọ́run mìíràn, wọ́n sì sìn wọ́n.’”
10 You should not choose to weep for the dead, nor should you mourn over them with tears. Lament for him who is departing, for he will return no more, nor will he see his native land again.
Nítorí náà má ṣe sọkún nítorí ọba tí ó ti kú tàbí ṣọ̀fọ̀ fún àdánù rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ sọkún kíkorò fún ẹni tí a lé kúrò nílùú nítorí kì yóò padà wá mọ́ tàbí fi ojú rí ilẹ̀ tí a ti bí i.
11 For thus says the Lord to Shallum, the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, who reigned in place of his father, who has departed from this place: He will not return here again.
Nítorí báyìí ni Olúwa wí, nípa Ṣallumu ọmọ Josiah ọba Juda tí ó jẹ ọba lẹ́yìn baba rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n tí ó jáde kúrò níhìn-ín: “Òun kì yóò padà wá mọ́.
12 Instead, he will die in the place to which I have transferred him, and he will not see this land anymore.
Yóò kú ni ibi tí a mú u ní ìgbèkùn lọ, kì yóò sì rí ilẹ̀ yìí mọ́.”
13 Woe to one who builds his house with injustice and his upper rooms without judgment, who oppresses his friend without cause and does not pay him his wages.
“Ègbé ni fún ẹni tí a kọ́ ààfin rẹ̀ lọ́nà àìṣòdodo, àti àwọn yàrá òkè rẹ̀ lọ́nà àìtọ́ tí ó mú kí àwọn ará ìlú rẹ ṣiṣẹ́ lásán láìsan owó iṣẹ́ wọn fún wọn.
14 And he says: ‘I will build a broad house for myself, with spacious upper rooms.’ He makes windows for himself, and he builds the roof out of cedar, and he paints it with red ocher.
Ó wí pé, ‘Èmi ó kọ́ ààfin ńlá fún ara mi àwọn yàrá òkè tí ó fẹ̀, ojú fèrèsé rẹ̀ yóò tóbi.’ A ó sì fi igi kedari bò ó, a ó fi ohun aláwọ̀ pupa ṣe é ní ọ̀ṣọ́.
15 Will you reign because you compare yourself to the cedar? Did your father not eat and drink, and act with judgment and justice, so that it would be well with him?
“Ìwọ ó ha jẹ ọba kí ìwọ kí ó lè ní ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ igi kedari? Baba rẹ kò ha ní ohun jíjẹ àti mímu? Ó ṣe ohun tí ó tọ́ àti òdodo, nítorí náà ó dára fún un.
16 He judged the case of the poor and the indigent for their good. Was this not because he knew me, says the Lord?
Ó gbèjà òtòṣì àti aláìní, ohun gbogbo sì dára fún un. Bí a ti mọ̀ mí kọ́ ni èyí?” ni Olúwa wí.
17 Yet truly, your eyes and your heart are toward avarice and the shedding of innocent blood, and toward false accusations and the pursuit of evil deeds.
“Ṣùgbọ́n ojú rẹ àti ọkàn rẹ wà lára èrè àìṣòótọ́ láti ta ẹ̀jẹ̀ aláìṣẹ̀ sílẹ̀ ìnilára àti ìlọ́nilọ́wọ́gbà.”
18 Because of this, thus says the Lord toward Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah: They will not mourn for him by saying, ‘Alas,’ to a brother, or, ‘Alas,’ to a sister. They will not make a noise for him and say, ‘Alas,’ to a master, or, ‘Alas,’ to a nobleman.
Nítorí náà báyìí ni Olúwa wí, nípa Jehoiakimu ọmọ Josiah ọba Juda: “Wọn kì yóò ṣọ̀fọ̀ fún un: wí pé, ‘Ó ṣe, arákùnrin mi! Ó ṣe, arábìnrin mi!’ Wọn kì yóò ṣọ̀fọ̀ fún un: wí pé, ‘Ó ṣe, olúwa tàbí ó ṣe ọlọ́lá!’
19 He will be buried with the burial of a donkey, having rotted and been thrown out of the gates of Jerusalem.
A ó sin òkú rẹ̀ bí i kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ tí a wọ́ sọnù láti ẹnu ibodè Jerusalẹmu.”
20 Ascend to Lebanon and cry out! And utter your voice in Bashan, and cry out to those passing by. For all your lovers have been crushed.
“Gòkè lọ sí Lebanoni, kígbe síta, kí a sì gbọ́ ohùn rẹ ní Baṣani, kí o kígbe sókè láti Abarimu, nítorí a ti ṣẹ́ gbogbo olùfẹ́ rẹ túútúú.
21 I spoke to you in your abundance, and you said, ‘I will not listen.’ This has been your way from your youth, for you have not listened to my voice.
Èmi ti kìlọ̀ fún ọ nígbà tí o rò pé kò séwu, ṣùgbọ́n o sọ pé, ‘Èmi kì yóò fetísílẹ̀!’ Èyí ni iṣẹ́ rẹ láti ìgbà èwe rẹ, ìwọ kò fìgbà kan gba ohùn mi gbọ́.
22 The wind will feed all your shepherds, and your lovers will go into captivity. And then you will be confounded, and you will be ashamed of all your wickedness.
Ẹ̀fúùfù yóò lé gbogbo àwọn olùṣọ́-àgùntàn rẹ̀ lọ, gbogbo àwọn olùfẹ́ rẹ yóò lọ sí ìgbèkùn, nígbà náà ni a ó kẹ́gàn rẹ, ojú yóò tì ọ́ nítorí gbogbo ìwà búburú rẹ.
23 You who sit in Lebanon, and who nest in the cedars, in what way did you mourn when suffering came to you, like the suffering of a woman giving birth?
Ìwọ tí ń gbé ‘Lebanoni,’ tí ó tẹ́ ìtẹ́ sí orí igi kedari, ìwọ yóò ti kérora pẹ́ tó, nígbà tí ìrora bá dé bá ọ, ìrora bí i ti obìnrin tí ń rọbí!
24 As I live, says the Lord, if Jeconiah, the son of Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, were a ring on my right hand, I would remove him from there.
“Dájúdájú bí èmi ti wà láààyè,” ni Olúwa wí, “Bí Koniah ọmọ Jehoiakimu ọba Juda tilẹ̀ jẹ́ òrùka èdìdì lọ́wọ́ ọ̀tún mi, síbẹ̀ èmi ó fà ọ́ tu kúrò níbẹ̀.
25 And I will deliver you into the hand of those who seek your life, and into the hand of those whose face you dread, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans.
Èmi ó sì fà ọ́ lé ọwọ́ àwọn tí ó ń wá ẹ̀mí rẹ, àwọn tí ìwọ bẹ̀rù, àní lé ọwọ́ Nebukadnessari, ọba Babeli àti ọwọ́ àwọn ará Babeli.
26 And I will send you, and your mother who conceived you, into a foreign land, in which you were not born, and there you shall die.
Èmi ó fi ìwọ àti ìyá tí ó bí ọ sọ̀kò sí ilẹ̀ mìíràn, níbi tí a kò bí ẹnikẹ́ni nínú yín sí. Níbẹ̀ ni ẹ̀yin méjèèjì yóò kú sí.
27 And to the land about which they lift up their mind, thinking to return there, they shall not return.
Ẹ̀yin kì yóò padà sí ilẹ̀ tí ẹ̀yin fẹ́ mọ́ láéláé.”
28 Is this man, Jeconiah, a broken earthenware vessel? Is he a vessel which is entirely unpleasing? Why have they been cast out, he and his offspring, cast out even into a land that they have not known?
Ǹjẹ́ Jehoiakini ẹni ẹ̀gàn yàtọ̀ sí ìkòkò òfìfo, ohun èlò tí ẹnìkan kò fẹ́? Èéṣe tí a fi òun àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ sókè sí ilẹ̀ tí wọn kò mọ̀.
29 O earth, O earth, O earth! Listen to the word of the Lord!
Ìwọ ilẹ̀, ilẹ̀, ilẹ̀, gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa!
30 Thus says the Lord: Write: this man is barren; he is a man who will not prosper in his days. For there will not be a man from among his offspring who will sit upon the throne of David, or have authority in Judah, anymore.”
Báyìí ni Olúwa wí: “Kọ àkọsílẹ̀ ọkùnrin yìí sínú ìwé gẹ́gẹ́ bí aláìlọ́mọ, ẹni tí kì yóò ṣe rere ní ọjọ́ ayé rẹ̀; nítorí ọ̀kan nínú irú-ọmọ rẹ̀ kì yóò ṣe rere, èyíkéyìí wọn kì yóò jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ Dafidi tàbí jẹ ọba ní Juda mọ́.”
