< Jeremiah 30 >

1 This is the message that came to Jeremiah from the Lord:
Ọ̀rọ̀ tí ó tọ Jeremiah wá láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa wá, wí pé:
2 This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Write down in a book everything I've told you.
“Báyìí ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí, pé: ‘Ìwọ kọ gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ tí mo ti bá ọ sọ sínú ìwé kan.
3 Look, the time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will bring back my people Israel and Judah from captivity, declares the Lord. I will bring them back to the country I gave to their forefathers, and they will own it again.
Ọjọ́ ń bọ̀ nígbà tí ń ó mú àwọn ènìyàn mi, àwọn ọmọ Israẹli àti Juda kúrò nínú ìgbèkùn, tí n ó sì dá wọn padà sí orí ilẹ̀ tí mo fi fún àwọn baba ńlá wọn láti ní,’ ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run wí.”
4 This what the Lord said about Israel and Judah.
Ìwọ̀nyí ni àwọn ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa Ọlọ́run sí Israẹli àti Juda:
5 This is what the Lord says: Hear the cries of panic, cries of fear, not peace.
“Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí: “‘Igbe ẹ̀rù àti ìwárìrì ni a gbọ́ láìṣe igbe àlàáfíà.
6 Think about it! Can men give birth? No. So why do I see every man holding his stomach with his hands like a woman in labor. Why is every face white as a sheet?
Béèrè kí o sì rí. Ǹjẹ́ ọkùnrin le dá ọmọ bí? Èéṣe tí mo fi ń rí àwọn alágbára ọkùnrin tí wọ́n fi ọwọ́ wọn mú inú wọn bí obìnrin tó ń rọbí, tí ojú gbogbo wọ́n sì fàro fún ìrora?
7 What a terrible day it will be—a day like never before! This is the time of trouble for Jacob's descendants, but they will be rescued from it.
Ọjọ́ náà yóò ha ti burú tó! Kò sí ọjọ́ tí yóò dàbí rẹ̀, Ọjọ́ náà yóò jẹ́ àkókò ìdààmú fún Jakọbu ṣùgbọ́n yóò rí ìgbàlà kúrò nínú ìdààmú náà.
8 On that day, declares the Lord Almighty, I will break the yoke from their necks and tear off their chains. Foreigners won't make them slaves anymore.
“‘Ní ọjọ́ náà,’ Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí pé, ‘Èmi yóò gbé àjàgà kúrò lọ́rùn wọn, Èmi yóò sì tú ìdè wọn sọnù. Àwọn àjèjì kì yóò sì mú ọ sìn wọ́n mọ́.
9 They will serve the Lord their God, and their king, David's descendant whom I will give them.
Dípò bẹ́ẹ̀ wọn yóò máa sin Olúwa Ọlọ́run wọn àti Dafidi gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọba wọn, ẹni tí èmi yóò gbé dìde fún wọn.
10 As far as you're concerned, my servant Jacob, don't be afraid, declares the Lord, Israel, don't be discouraged. I promise to save you from your distant places of exile, your descendants from the countries where they're being held captive. The descendants of Jacob will go home to a quiet and comfortable life, free from any threats.
“‘Nítorí náà, má ṣe bẹ̀rù, ìwọ Jakọbu ìránṣẹ́ mi, má sì ṣe jẹ́ kí ẹ̀rù bà ọ́, ìwọ Israẹli,’ ni Olúwa wí. ‘Èmi yóò gbà ọ́ kúrò láti ọ̀nà jíjìn wá, àní àwọn ìran rẹ láti ilẹ̀ àtìpó wọn. Jakọbu yóò sì tún ní àlàáfíà àti ààbò rẹ̀ padà, kò sì ṣí ẹni tí yóò ṣẹ̀rù bà á mọ́.
11 I am with you and I will save you, declares the Lord. Even though I'm going to completely destroy all the nations where I scattered you, I won't completely destroy you. However, I will discipline you as you deserve, and you can be sure I won't leave you unpunished.
Èmi wà pẹ̀lú rẹ, n ó sì gbà ọ́,’ ni Olúwa wí. ‘Bí mo tilẹ̀ pa gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè run, nínú èyí tí mo ti fọ́n ọn yín ká, síbẹ̀ èmi kì yóò pa yín run pátápátá. Èmi yóò bá yín wí pẹ̀lú ìdájọ́ òdodo nìkan; Èmi kò ní fi yín sílẹ̀ láìjìyà.’
12 This is what the Lord says: You have a wound that cannot be healed, you have a terrible injury.
“Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí: “‘Ọgbẹ́ yín kò gbóògùn, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni egbò yín kọjá ìwòsàn.
13 There's no one to take care of your case, no cure for your sores, no healing for you.
Kò sí ẹnìkan tí yóò bẹ̀bẹ̀ fún àìṣedéédéé yín, kò sí ètùtù fún ọgbẹ́ yín, a kò sì mú yín láradá.
14 All your lovers have forgotten about you; they don't bother looking for you anymore, because I have beaten you as if I were your enemy, the discipline of a cruel person, because of how wicked you are, because of your many sins.
Gbogbo àwọn olùfẹ́ rẹ ti gbàgbé rẹ, wọn kò sì náání rẹ mọ́ pẹ̀lú. Mo ti nà ọ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀tá rẹ yóò ti nà ọ, mo sì bá a ọ wí gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìkà, nítorí tí ẹ̀bi rẹ pọ̀ púpọ̀, ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ kò sì lóǹkà.
15 Why are you crying over your wound? You pain can't be cured. I did this to you because of how wicked you are, because of your many sins.
Èéṣe tí ẹ̀yin fi ń kígbe nítorí ọgbẹ́ yín, ìrora yín èyí tí kò ní oògùn? Nítorí ọ̀pọ̀ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yín àti ẹ̀bi yín tó ga ni mo fi ṣe àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí sí i yín.
16 Even so, everyone who destroys you will be destroyed. All your enemies, every last one, will be sent into exile. Those who plundered you will be plundered, and all who robbed you will be robbed.
“‘Ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó bá ṣe yín ní ibi ni ibi yóò bá, àní gbogbo àwọn ọ̀tá yín ni a ó sọ di àtìpó ní ilẹ̀ àjèjì; gbogbo àwọn tí wọ́n bà yín jẹ́ ni a ó bàjẹ́.
17 But I will give you back your health and heal your wounds, declares the Lord, because people say you've been abandoned and that no one cares about you, Zion.
Ṣùgbọ́n èmi yóò fi ẹ̀kúnrẹ́rẹ́ ìlera fún yín, èmi yóò sì wo ọ̀gbẹ́ yín sàn,’ ni Olúwa wí, ‘nítorí tí a pè yín ní alárìnkiri, Sioni tí gbogbo ènìyàn dágunlá sí.’
18 This is what the Lord says: I will bring Jacob's descendants back to their homes and have mercy on their families. The city will be rebuilt on top of its ruins, and the palace once again stand where it should.
“Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí: “‘Èmi yóò dá gbogbo ìre àgọ́ Jakọbu padà, èmi yóò sì ṣe àánú fún olùgbé àgọ́ rẹ̀; ìlú náà yóò sì di títúnṣe tí ààfin ìlú náà yóò sì wà ní ipò rẹ̀.
19 People will be singing songs of thanks, the sounds of celebration. I will increase their number—they will not become less. I will honor them—they will not be treated as insignificant.
Láti ẹnu wọn ni orin ọpẹ́ àti ìyìn yóò sì ti máa jáde. Èmi yóò sọ wọ́n di púpọ̀, wọn kì yóò sì dínkù ní iye, Èmi yóò fi ọlá fún wọn, wọn kò sì ní di ẹni àbùkù.
20 Their children will be looked after like they used to be. I will make their nation strong again, and punish anyone who attacks them.
Ọmọ ọmọ wọn yóò wà bí i ti ìgbàanì níwájú mi ni wọn yóò sì tẹ àwùjọ wọn dúró sí. Gbogbo ẹni tó bá ni wọ́n lára, ni èmi yóò fì ìyà jẹ.
21 Their leader will be from their own country, their ruler will be chosen from among them. I will invite him to come close to me, and he will do so, for would anyone dare to approach me without being asked? declares the Lord.
Ọ̀kan nínú wọn ni yóò jẹ́ olórí wọn, ọba wọn yóò dìde láti àárín wọn. Èmi yóò mú un wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ mi, òun yóò sì súnmọ́ mi, nítorí ta ni ẹni náà tí yóò fi ara rẹ̀ jì láti súnmọ́ mi?’ ni Olúwa wí.
22 You will be my people, and I will be your God.
‘Nítorí náà, ẹ̀yin yóò jẹ́ ènìyàn mi, èmi yóò sì jẹ́ Ọlọ́run yín.’”
23 Watch out! The Lord has sent out a furious storm, a tornado swirling around the heads of the wicked.
Wò ó, ìbínú Olúwa yóò tú jáde, ìjì líle yóò sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ sórí àwọn ènìyàn búburú.
24 The Lord's anger won't fade until he's finished doing everything he wants. Only then will you really understand.
Ìbínú ńlá Olúwa kò ní dẹ̀yìn lẹ́yìn àwọn ìkà títí yóò fi mú èrò ọkàn rẹ̀ ṣẹ. Ní àìpẹ́ ọjọ́, òye rẹ̀ yóò yé e yín.
