Jeremiah 1
1 The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkijah, of the priests that were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin:
Èyí ni ọ̀rọ̀ Jeremiah ọmọ Hilkiah ọ̀kan nínú àwọn àlùfáà ní Anatoti ní agbègbè ilẹ̀ Benjamini.
2 to whom the word of Jehovah came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign;
Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa sì tọ̀ ọ́ wá ní ọdún kẹtàlá ní àkókò ìjọba Josiah ọmọ Amoni ọba Juda,
3 it came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, unto the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, unto the carrying away of Jerusalem captive, in the fifth month.
àti títí dé àsìkò Jehoiakimu ọmọ Josiah ọba Juda, títí dé oṣù karùn-ún ọdún kọkànlá Sedekiah ọmọ Josiah ọba Juda, nígbà tí àwọn ará Jerusalẹmu lọ sí ìgbèkùn.
4 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa sì tọ̀ mí wá, wí pé,
5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I hallowed thee, I appointed thee a prophet unto the nations.
“Kí ó tó di pé mo dá ọ láti inú ni mo ti mọ̀ ọ́n, kí ó sì tó di pé a bí ọ ni mo ti yà ọ́ sọ́tọ̀. Mo yàn ọ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí wòlíì fún àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè.”
6 And I said, Alas, Lord Jehovah! behold, I cannot speak; for I am a child.
Mo sọ pé, “Háà! Olúwa Olódùmarè, ọmọdé ni mí, èmi kò mọ bí a ṣe é sọ̀rọ̀.”
7 But Jehovah said unto me, Say not, I am a child; for thou shalt go to whomsoever I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.
Olúwa sọ fún mi pé, “Má ṣe sọ pé, ‘Ọmọdé lásán ni mí.’ O gbọdọ̀ ní láti lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ gbogbo àwọn tí mo rán ọ sí, kí o sì sọ ohun tí mo pàṣẹ fún ọ.”
8 Be not afraid of them; for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith Jehovah.
Olúwa sì wí pé má ṣe bẹ̀rù wọn, nítorí tí èmi wà pẹ̀lú rẹ èmi ó sì gbà ọ́.
9 And Jehovah put forth his hand and touched my mouth; and Jehovah said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth.
Olúwa sì na ọwọ́ rẹ̀, ó sì fi kàn mí lẹ́nu, ó sì wí fún mi pé nísinsin yìí, mo ti fi ọ̀rọ̀ mi sí inú ẹnu rẹ.
10 See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to pluck up, and to break down, and to destroy, and to overthrow, to build and to plant.
Wò ó, mo yàn ọ́ lórí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè àti ìjọba gbogbo láti fàtu, láti wó lulẹ̀, láti bàjẹ́, láti jágbà, láti máa kọ́, àti láti máa gbìn.
11 And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of an almond-tree.
Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa sì tọ mí wá wí pé: “Kí ni o rí Jeremiah?” Mo sì dáhùn wí pé, “Mo rí ẹ̀ka igi almondi.”
12 And Jehovah said unto me, Thou hast well seen; for I am watchful over my word to perform it.
Olúwa sì wí fún mi pé, “Ó ti rí i bí ó ṣe yẹ, nítorí pé mo ti ń ṣọ láti rí i pé ọ̀rọ̀ mi wá sí ìmúṣẹ.”
13 And the word of Jehovah came to me the second time, saying, What seest thou? And I said, I see a seething-pot, and its face is from the north.
Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa sì tún tọ̀ mi wá ní ẹ̀ẹ̀kejì pé, “Kí ni o rí?” Mo sì dáhùn pé mo rí ìkòkò gbígbóná, tí ó ń ru láti apá àríwá.
14 And Jehovah said unto me, Out of the north shall evil break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land.
Olúwa sì wí fún mi pé, “Láti apá àríwá ni a ó ti mu ìdààmú wá sórí gbogbo àwọn tí ó ń gbé ní ilẹ̀ náà.
15 For behold, I am calling all the families of the kingdoms of the north, saith Jehovah, and they shall come, and they shall set every one his throne at the entering of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all the walls thereof round about, and against all the cities of Judah:
Mo sì ti ṣetán láti pe gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn orílẹ̀-èdè àríwá níjà,” ni Olúwa wí. “Àwọn ọba wọn yóò wá gbé ìtẹ́ wọn ró ní ojú ọ̀nà àbáwọlé Jerusalẹmu. Wọn ó sì dìde sí gbogbo àyíká wọn àti sí gbogbo àwọn ìlú Juda.
16 and I will pronounce my judgments against them for all their wickedness, in that they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, and worshipped the works of their own hands.
Èmi yóò sì kéde ìdájọ́ mi lórí àwọn ènìyàn mi nítorí ìwà búburú wọn nípa kíkọ̀ mí sílẹ̀, nípa rírúbọ sí ọlọ́run mìíràn àti sínsin àwọn ohun tí wọ́n fi ọwọ́ wọn ṣe.
17 Thou, therefore, gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak unto them all that I shall command thee: be not dismayed at them, lest I cause thee to be dismayed before them.
“Wà ní ìmúrasílẹ̀! Dìde dúró kí o sì sọ fún wọn ohunkóhun tí mo bá pàṣẹ fún wọn. Má ṣe jẹ́ kí wọ́n dẹ́rùbà ọ́, èmi yóò sì sọ ọ́ di ẹ̀rù níwájú wọn.
18 And I, behold, I appoint thee this day as a strong city, and an iron pillar, and brazen walls, against the whole land; against the kings of Judah, against its princes, against its priests, and against the people of the land.
Ní òní èmi ti sọ ọ́ di ìlú alágbára, òpó irin àti odi idẹ sí àwọn ọba Juda, àwọn ìjòyè rẹ̀, sí àwọn àlùfáà àti àwọn ènìyàn ilẹ̀ náà.
19 And they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee: for I am with thee, saith Jehovah, to deliver thee.
Wọn yóò dojú ìjà kọ ọ́, wọn kì yóò borí rẹ, nítorí wí pé èmi wà pẹ̀lú rẹ, èmi yóò sì gbà ọ́,” ni Olúwa wí.
