Jeremiah 31

1 At that time, saith the Lord, I will be the God of all the families of and they shall be my people.

“Nígbà náà, Èmi yóò jẹ́ Ọlọ́run fún gbogbo ìdílé ìran Israẹli, àwọn náà yóò sì jẹ́ ènìyàn mi,” ni Olúwa wí.

2 Thus saith the Lord: The people were left and escaped from the sword, found grace in the desert: Israel shall to his rest.

Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí: “Àwọn ènìyàn tí ó sá àsálà lọ́wọ́ idà yóò rí ojúrere Olúwa ní aṣálẹ̀, Èmi yóò sì fi ìsinmi fún Israẹli.”

3 The Lord hath appeared from afar to me. Yea I have loved thee with everlasting love, therefore have I drawn thee, taking pity on thee.

Olúwa ti fi ara rẹ̀ hàn wá ní ìgbà kan rí, ó wí pé: “Èmi ti nífẹ̀ẹ́ yín pẹ̀lú ìfẹ́ àìlópin; mo ti fi ìfẹ́ ńlá fà yín,

4 And I will build thee again, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel: thou shalt again be adorned with thy timbrels, and shalt go forth in the dances of them that make merry.

Èmi yóò tún gbé e yín sókè, àní a ó tún gbé e yín ró ìwọ wúńdíá ilẹ̀ Israẹli. Àní ẹ ó tún tún ohun èlò orin yín gbé, ẹ ó sì jáde síta pẹ̀lú ijó àti ayọ̀.

5 Thou shalt yet plant vineyards in the mountains of Samaria: the planters shall plant, and they shall not gather the vintage before the time.

Ẹ ó tún gbin ọgbà àjàrà ní orí òkè Samaria; àwọn àgbẹ̀ yóò sì máa gbádùn èso oko wọn.

6 For there shall be a day, in which the watchmen on mount Ephraim, shall cry: Arise, and let us go up to Sion to the Lord our God.

Ọjọ́ kan máa wà tí àwọn olùṣọ́ yóò kígbe jáde lórí òkè Efraimu wí pé, ‘Ẹ wá, ẹ jẹ́ kí a gòkè lọ sí Sioni, ní ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa.’”

7 For thus saith the Lord: Rejoice ye in the joy of Jacob, and neigh before the head of the Gentiles: shout ye, and sing, and say: Save, O Lord, thy people, the remnant of Israel.

Èyí ni ọ̀rọ̀ tí Olúwa sọ wí pé: “Ẹ fi ayọ̀ kọrin sí Jakọbu; ẹ hó sí olórí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè gbogbo. Jẹ́ kí wọ́n gbọ́ ìyìn rẹ kí o sì wí pé, ‘Olúwa, gba àwọn ènìyàn rẹ là; àwọn tí ó ṣẹ́kù ní Israẹli.’

8 Behold I will bring them from the north country, and will gather them from the ends of the earth: and among them shall be the blind, and the lame, the woman with child, and she that is bringing forth, together, a great company of them returning hither.

Wò ó, Èmi yóò mú wọn wá láti ilẹ̀ àríwá; èmi yóò kó gbogbo wọn jọ láti òpin ayé. Lára wọn ni yóò jẹ́ afọ́jú àti arọ, aboyún àti obìnrin tí ń rọbí, ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn yóò wá.

9 They shall come with weeping: and I will bring them back in mercy: and I will bring them through the torrents of waters in a right way, and they shall not stumble in it: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.

Wọn yóò wá pẹ̀lú ẹkún, wọn yóò gbàdúrà bí Èmi yóò ṣe mú wọn padà. Èmi yóò jẹ́ atọ́nà fún wọn ní ẹ̀bá odò omi; ní ọ̀nà tí ó tẹ́jú tí wọn kì yóò le ṣubú, nítorí èmi ni baba Israẹli, Efraimu sì ni àkọ́bí ọkùnrin mi.

10 Hear the word of the Lord, O ye nations, and declare it in the islands that are afar off, and say: He that scattered Israel will gather him: and he will keep him as the shepherd doth his flock.

“Ẹ gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa ẹ̀yin orílẹ̀-èdè ẹ kéde rẹ̀ ní erékùṣù jíjìn; ‘Ẹni tí ó bá tú Israẹli ká yóò kójọ, yóò sì ṣọ́ agbo rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí olùṣọ́-àgùntàn.’

11 For the Lord hath redeemed Jacob, and delivered him out of the hand of one that was mightier than he.

Nítorí Olúwa ti tú Jakọbu sílẹ̀, o sì rà á padà ní ọwọ́ àwọn tí ó lágbára jù ú lọ.

12 And they shall come, and shall give praise in mount Sion: and they shall flow together to the good things of the Lord, for the corn, and wine, and oil, and the increase of cattle and herds, and their soul shall be as a watered garden, and they shall be hungry no more.

Wọn yóò wá, wọn ó sì hó ìhó ayọ̀ lórí òkè Sioni; wọn yóò yọ ayọ̀ níbi oore Olúwa. Àlìkámà ni, ọtí wáìnì tuntun àti òróró ọ̀dọ́-àgùntàn àti ọ̀dọ́ ọ̀wọ́ ẹran. Wọn ó dàbí ọgbà àjàrà tí a bomirin, ìkorò kò ní bá wọn mọ́.

13 Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, the young men and old men together: and I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them joyful after their sorrow.

Àwọn wúńdíá yóò jó, wọn ó sì kún fún ayọ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ ni ọkùnrin àti obìnrin. Èmi yóò sọ ọ̀fọ̀ wọn di ayọ̀, dípò ìkorò èmi yóò tù wọ́n nínú. Èmi ó sì fún wọn ní ayọ̀.

14 And I will fill the soul of the priests with fatness: and my people shall be filled with my good things, saith the Lord.

Èmi ó tẹ́ àwọn àlùfáà lọ́rùn pẹ̀lú ọ̀pọ̀; àwọn ènìyàn mi yóò sì kún fún oore mi,” ni Olúwa wí.

15 Thus saith the Lord: A voice was heard on high of lamentation, of mourning, and weeping, of Rachel weeping for her children, and refusing to be comforted for them, because they are not.

Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí: “A gbọ́ ohùn kan ní Rama tí ń ṣọ̀fọ̀ pẹ̀lú ẹkún kíkorò. Rakeli ń sọkún àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀; kò gbà kí wọ́n tu òun nínú, nítorí àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ kò sí mọ́.”

16 Thus saith the Lord: Let thy voice cease from weeping, and thy eyes from tears: for there is a reward for thy work, saith the Lord: and they shall return out of the land of the enemy.

Báyìí ni Olúwa wí: “Dá ohùn rẹ dúró nínú ẹkún àti ojú rẹ nínú omijé; nítorí a ó fi èrè sí iṣẹ́ rẹ,” ni Olúwa wí. “Wọn ó sì padà wá láti ilẹ̀ ọ̀tá.

17 And here is hope for thy last end, saith the Lord: and the children shall return to their own borders.

Nítorí ìrètí wà fún ọjọ́ iwájú rẹ,” ni Olúwa wí. “Àwọn ọmọ rẹ yóò padà wá sí ilẹ̀ wọn.

18 Hearing I heard Ephraim when he went into captivity: thou hast chastised me, and I was instructed, as a young bullock unaccustomed to the yoke. Convert me, and I shall be converted, for thou art the Lord my God.

“Nítòótọ́, èmi ti gbọ́ ìpohùnréré Efraimu wí pé, ‘Ìwọ ti bá mi wí gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọmọ màlúù tí a kò kọ́ èmi sì ti gbọ́ ìbáwí. Rà mí padà, èmi yóò sì yípadà, nítorí ìwọ ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run mi.

19 For after thou didst convert me, I did penance: and after thou didst shew unto me, I struck my thigh: I am confounded and ashamed, because I have borne the reproach of my youth.

Lẹ́yìn tí èmi ti yípadà, mo ronúpìwàdà, lẹ́yìn tí èmi ti wá mọ̀, èmi lu àyà mi. Ojú tì mí, mo sì dààmú; nítorí èmi gba èrè ẹ̀gàn ìgbà èwe mi.’

20 Surely Ephraim is an honourable son to me, surely he is a tender child: for since I spoke of him, I will still remember him. Therefore are my bowels troubled for him: pitying I will pity him, saith the Lord.

Efraimu kì í ha í ṣe ọmọkùnrin mi dáradára tí inú mi dùn sí bí? Bí èmi ti ń sọ̀rọ̀ sí i tó, síbẹ̀, èmi rántí rẹ̀. Nítorí náà, ọkàn mi ṣe ohun kan fún un, èmi káàánú gidigidi fún un,” ni Olúwa wí.

21 Set thee up a watchtower, make to thee bitterness: direct thy heart into the right way, wherein thou hast walked: return, O virgin of Israel, return to these thy cities.

“Gbé àmì ojú ọ̀nà dìde, ṣe atọ́nà àmì, kíyèsi òpópó ọ̀nà geere ojú ọ̀nà tí ó ń gbà. Yípadà ìwọ wúńdíá Israẹli, padà sí àwọn ìlú rẹ.

22 How long wilt thou be dissolute in deliciousness, O wandering daughter? for the Lord hath created a new thing upon the earth: A WOMAN SHALL COMPASS A MAN.

Ìwọ yóò ti ṣìnà pẹ́ tó, ìwọ aláìṣòótọ́ ọmọbìnrin; Olúwa yóò dá ohun tuntun lórí ilẹ̀, ọmọbìnrin kan yóò yí ọkùnrin kan ká.”

23 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: As yet shall they say this word in the land of Juda, and in the cities thereof, when I shall bring back their captivity: The Lord bless thee, the beauty of justice, the holy mountain.

Báyìí ni ohun tí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun Israẹli wí: “Nígbà tí èmi bá kó wọn dé láti ìgbèkùn; àwọn ènìyàn tí ó wà ní ilẹ̀ Juda àti ní àwọn ìlú rẹ̀ yóò tún lo àwọn ọ̀rọ̀ yìí lẹ́ẹ̀kan sí i; wí pé, ‘Kí Olúwa kí ó bùkún fún ọ, ìwọ ibùgbé òdodo, ìwọ òkè ìwà mímọ́.’

24 And Juda and all his cities shall dwell therein together: the husbandmen and they that drive the flocks.

Àwọn ènìyàn yóò gbé papọ̀ ní Juda àti ní gbogbo àwọn ìlú rẹ̀; bákan náà ni àgbẹ̀ àti àwọn tí ń tẹ̀lé agbo ẹran wọn ká.

25 For I have inebriated the weary soul: and I have filled every hungry soul.

Èmi yóò sọ aláàárẹ̀ di ọ̀tun, èmi yóò sì tẹ́ gbogbo ọkàn tí ń káàánú lọ́rùn.”

26 Upon this I was as it were awaked out of a sleep, and I saw, and my sleep was sweet to me.

Lórí èyí ni mo jí, mo sì wò yíká, oorun mi sì dùn mọ́ mi.

27 Behold the days come, saith the Lord: and I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Juda with the seed of men, and with the seed of beasts.

“Wò ó, ọjọ́ ń bọ̀,” ni Olúwa wí, “nígbà tí èmi yóò gbin ilé Israẹli àti ilé Juda pẹ̀lú irúgbìn ọmọ ènìyàn àti ẹranko.

28 And as I have watched over them, to pluck up, and to throw down, and to scatter, and destroy, and afflict: so will I watch over them, to build up, and to plant them, saith the Lord.

Gẹ́gẹ́ bí mo ṣe ń ṣọ́ wọn, láti fàtu, àti láti wó lulẹ̀, àti láti gba ìṣàkóso, láti bàjẹ́ àti láti mú ibi wá, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi yóò ṣọ́ wọn láti kọ́ àti láti gbìn,” ni Olúwa wí.

29 In those days they shall say no more: The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the teeth of the children are set on edge.

“Ní ọjọ́ wọ̀n-ọn-nì àwọn ènìyàn kò ní sọ mọ́ pé: “‘Àwọn baba ti jẹ èso àjàrà àìpọ́n àti pé eyín kan àwọn ọmọdé.’

30 But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that shall eat the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge.

Ṣùgbọ́n olúkúlùkù ni yóò kú fún ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ̀, ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá jẹ èso kíkan ni eyín yóò kan.

31 Behold the days shall come, saith the Lord, and I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Juda:

“Ìgbà kan ń bọ̀,” ni Olúwa wí, “tí Èmi yóò bá ilé Israẹli àti ilé Juda dá májẹ̀mú tuntun.

32 Not according to the covenant which I made with their fathers, in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt: the covenant which they made void, and I had dominion over them, saith the Lord.

Kò ní dàbí májẹ̀mú tí mo bá àwọn baba ńlá wọn dá, nígbà tí mo fà wọ́n lọ́wọ́, tí mo mú wọn jáde ní Ejibiti nítorí wọ́n da májẹ̀mú mi. Lóòótọ́ ọkọ ni èmi jẹ́ fún wọn,” ni Olúwa wí.

33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel, after those days, saith the Lord: I will give my law in their bowels, and I will write it in their heart: and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

“Èyí ni májẹ̀mú tí èmi yóò bá ilé Israẹli dá lẹ́yìn ìgbà náà,” ni Olúwa wí pé: “Èmi yóò fi òfin mi sí ọkàn wọn, èmi ó sì kọ ọ́ sí àyà wọn. Èmi ó jẹ́ Olúwa wọn; àwọn ó sì jẹ́ ènìyàn mi.

34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying: Know the Lord: for all shall know me from the least of them even to the greatest, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

Kò ní sí pé ọkùnrin kan ń kọ́ àwọn ará ilé rẹ̀ tàbí ọkùnrin ń kọ́ arákùnrin rẹ̀ pé, ‘Ẹ mọ Olúwa,’ nítorí gbogbo wọn ni yóò mọ̀ mí láti ẹni kékeré wọn títí dé ẹni ńlá,” ni Olúwa wí. “Nítorí èmi ó dárí àìṣedéédéé wọn jì, èmi kò sì ní rántí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn mọ́.”

35 Thus saith the Lord, who giveth the sun for the light of the day, the order of the moon and of the stars, for the light of the night: who stirreth up the sea, and the waves thereof roar, the Lord of hosts is his name.

Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí: ẹni tí ó mú oòrùn tan ìmọ́lẹ̀ ní ọ̀sán, tí ó mú òṣùpá àti ìràwọ̀ ràn ní òru; tí ó rú omi Òkun sókè tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí ìjì rẹ̀ fi ń hó Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ni orúkọ rẹ̀.

36 If these ordinances shall fail before me, saith the Lord: then also the seed of Israel shall fail, so as not to be a nation before me for ever.

“Àyàfi tí ìlànà yìí bá kúrò níwájú mi,” ni Olúwa wí. “Ǹjẹ́ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli yóò dẹ́kun láti jẹ́ orílẹ̀-èdè níwájú mi láéláé.”

37 Thus saith the Lord: If the heavens above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I also will cast away all the seed of Israel, for all that they have done, saith the Lord.

Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí: “Àyàfi tí a bá lé àwọn ọ̀run lókè tí ìpìlẹ̀ ayé sì di àwárí ní ìsàlẹ̀, ni èmi yóò kọ àwọn Israẹli nítorí ohun gbogbo tí wọ́n ti ṣe,” ni Olúwa wí.

38 Behold the days come, saith the Lord, that the city shall be built to the Lord from the tower of Hanameel even to the gate of the corner.

“Ọjọ́ náà ń bọ̀,” ni Olúwa wí, “tí wọn yóò tún ìlú yìí kọ́ fún mi láti ilé ìṣọ́ Hananeli dé igun ẹnu ibodè.

39 And the measuring line shall go out farther in his sight upon the hill Gareb: and it shall compass Goatha,

40 And the whole valley of dead bodies and of ashes, and all the country of death, even to the torrent Cedron, and the corner of the horse gate towards the east, the Holy of the Lord: it shall not be plucked up, and it shall not be destroyed any more for ever.
