Jeremiah 20
1 Now Phassur the son of Emmur, the priest, who was appointed chief in the house of the Lord, heard Jeremias prophesying these words.
Ní ìgbà tí àlùfáà Paṣuri ọmọkùnrin Immeri olórí àwọn ìjòyè tẹmpili Olúwa gbọ́ tí Jeremiah ń sọ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ nǹkan wọ̀nyí.
2 And Phassur struck Jeremias the prophet, and put him in the stocks, that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, in the house of the Lord.
Ó mú kí wọ́n lù wòlíì Jeremiah, kí wọ́n sì fi sínú túbú tí ó wà ní òkè ẹnu-ọ̀nà ti Benjamini ní tẹmpili Olúwa.
3 And when it was light the next day, Phassur brought Jeremias out of the stocks. And Jeremias said to him: The Lord hath not called thy name Phassur, but fear on every side.
Ní ọjọ́ kejì tí Paṣuri tú u sílẹ̀ nínú túbú, Jeremiah sì sọ fún un wí pé, “Orúkọ Olúwa fun ọ kì í ṣe Paṣuri bí kò ṣe ìpayà.
4 For thus saith the Lord: Behold I will deliver thee up to fear, thee and all thy friends: and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and thy eyes shall see it, and I will give all Juda into the hand of the king of Babylon: and he shall strike them with the sword.
Nítorí èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa sọ. Èmi yóò mú ọ di ẹ̀rùjẹ̀jẹ̀ sí ara rẹ àti sí gbogbo àwọn ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ. Ní ojú ara rẹ, ìwọ yóò sì rí tí wọ́n ṣubú nípa idà ọ̀tá wọn. Èmi yóò fi gbogbo àwọn ọ̀tá Juda lé ọba Babeli lọ́wọ́, òun yóò sì kó wọn lọ sí Babeli tàbí kí ó pa wọ́n.
5 And I will give all the substance of this city, and all its labour, and every precious thing thereof, and all the treasures of the kings of Juda will I give into the hands of their enemies: and they shall pillage them, and take them away, and carry them to Babylon.
Èmi yóò jọ̀wọ́ gbogbo ọrọ̀ inú ìlú yìí fún ọ̀tá wọn. Gbogbo ìní wọ́n gbogbo ọlá ọba Juda. Wọn yóò sì ru ìkógun lọ sí Babeli.
6 But thou, Phassur, and all that dwell in thy house, shall go into captivity, and thou shalt go to Babylon, and there thou shalt die, and there thou shalt be buried, thou and all thy friends, to whom thou hast prophesied a lie.
Àti ìwọ Paṣuri, gbogbo ènìyàn inú ilé rẹ yóò sì lọ ṣe àtìpó ní Babeli. Níbẹ̀ ni ìwọ yóò sì kú sí, tí wọn yóò sì sin ọ́ síbẹ̀, ìwọ àti gbogbo àwọn ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ tí ìwọ ti sọ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ irọ́ fún.”
7 Thou hast deceived me, O Lord, and I am deceived: thou hast been stronger than I, and thou hast prevailed. I am become a laughing-stock all the day, all scoff at me.
Olúwa, o tàn mí jẹ́, o sì ṣẹ́gun. Mo di ẹni ẹ̀gàn ní gbogbo ọjọ́, gbogbo ènìyàn fi mí ṣẹlẹ́yà.
8 For I am speaking now this long time, crying out against iniquity, and I often proclaim devastation: and the word of the Lord is made a reproach to me, and a derision all the day.
Nígbàkígbà tí mo bá sọ̀rọ̀, èmi sì kígbe síta èmi á sọ nípa ipá àti ìparun. Nítorí náà, ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa ti mú àbùkù àti ẹ̀gàn bá mi ni gbogbo ìgbà.
9 Then I said: I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name: and there came in my heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was wearied, not being able to bear it.
Ṣùgbọ́n bí mo bá sọ pé, “Èmi kì yóò dárúkọ rẹ tàbí sọ nípa orúkọ rẹ̀ mọ́, ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ ń bẹ bi iná tí ń jó nínú mi nínú egungun mi, agara dá mi ní inú mi nítòótọ́ èmi kò lè ṣe é.
10 For I heard the reproaches of many, and terror on every side: Persecute him, and let us persecute him: from all the men that were my familiars, and continued at my side: if by any means he may be deceived, and we may prevail against him, and be revenged on him.
Mo gbọ́ sísọ ọ̀rọ̀ kẹ́lẹ́kẹ́lẹ́, ìbẹ̀rù ni ibi gbogbo. Fi í sùn! Jẹ́ kí a fi sùn! Gbogbo àwọn ọ̀rẹ́ mi ń dúró kí èmi ṣubú, wọ́n sì ń sọ pé, bóyá yóò jẹ́ di títàn, nígbà náà ni àwa yóò borí rẹ̀, àwa yóò sì gba ẹ̀san wa lára rẹ̀.”
11 But the Lord is with me as a strong warrior: therefore they that persecute me shall fall, and shall be weak: they shall be greatly confounded, because they have not understood the everlasting reproach, which never shall be effaced.
Ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa ń bẹ pẹ̀lú mi gẹ́gẹ́ bí akọni ẹlẹ́rù. Nítorí náà, àwọn tí ó ń lépa mi yóò kọsẹ̀, wọn kì yóò sì borí. Wọn yóò kùnà, wọn yóò sì gba ìtìjú púpọ̀. Àbùkù wọn kì yóò sì di ohun ìgbàgbé.
12 And thou, O Lord of hosts, prover of the just, who seest the reins and the heart: let me see, I beseech thee, thy vengeance on them: for to thee I have laid open my cause.
Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun, ìwọ tí ó ń dán olódodo wò tí o sì ń ṣe àyẹ̀wò ọkàn àti ẹ̀mí fínní fínní, jẹ́ kí èmi kí ó rí ìgbẹ̀san rẹ lórí wọn, nítorí ìwọ ni mo gbé ara mi lé.
13 Sing ye to the Lord, praise the Lord: because he hath delivered the soul of the poor out of the hand of the wicked.
Kọrin sí Olúwa! Fi ìyìn fún Olúwa! Ó gba ẹ̀mí àwọn aláìní lọ́wọ́ àwọn ẹni búburú.
14 Cursed be the day wherein I was borne: let not the day in which my mother bore me, be blessed.
Ègbé ni fún ọjọ́ tí a bí mi! Kí ọjọ́ tí ìyá mi bí mi má ṣe di ti ìbùkún.
15 Cursed be the man that brought the tidings to my father, saying: A man child is born to thee: and made him greatly rejoice.
Ègbé ni fún ọkùnrin tí ó mú ìròyìn wá fún baba mi, tí ó mú kí ó yọ̀, tí ó sì sọ wí pé, “A bí ọmọ kan fún ọ—ọmọkùnrin!”
16 Let that man be as the cities that the Lord hath overthrown, and hath not repented: let him hear a cry in the morning, and howling at noontide:
Kí ọkùnrin náà dàbí ìlú tí Olúwa gbàkóso lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀ láìkáàánú Kí o sì gbọ́ ariwo ọ̀fọ̀ ní àárọ̀, ariwo ogun ní ọ̀sán.
17 Who slew me not from the womb, that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb an everlasting conception.
Nítorí kò pa mí nínú, kí ìyá mi sì dàbí títóbi ibojì mi, kí ikùn rẹ̀ sì di títí láé.
18 Why came I out of the womb, to see labour and sorrow, and that my days should be spent in confusion?
Èéṣe tí mo jáde nínú ikùn, láti rí wàhálà àti ọ̀fọ̀ àti láti parí ayé mi nínú ìtìjú?
