< Jeremiah 32 >
1 This is the Lord's message that came to Jeremiah in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah's reign, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar's reign.
Èyí ni ọ̀rọ̀ tó tọ Jeremiah wá láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa ní ọdún kẹwàá Sedekiah ọba Juda, èyí tí ó jẹ́ ọdún kejìdínlógún ti Nebukadnessari.
2 This was when the army of the king of Babylon was besieging Jerusalem. Jeremiah the prophet was imprisoned in the guard's courtyard, part of the king of Judah's palace.
Àwọn ogun ọba Babeli ìgbà náà há Jerusalẹmu mọ́. A sì sé wòlíì Jeremiah mọ́ inú túbú tí wọ́n ń ṣọ́ ní àgbàlá ilé ọba Juda.
3 Zedekiah king of Judah had put him in prison, telling him: “Why do you have to prophesy like this? You say the Lord is saying, ‘Look, I'm going to hand over this city to the king of Babylon, and he will capture it.
Nítorí Sedekiah ọba Juda ti há a mọ́lé síbẹ̀; pé, “Kí ló dé tí ìwọ fi ń sọ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ bẹ́ẹ̀? Tí o sì wí pé, ‘Báyìí ni Olúwa wí: Èmi ń bọ̀ wá fi ìlú yìí fún ọba Babeli, tí yóò sì gbà á.
4 Zedekiah king of Judah won't escape from the Babylonians. He will be captured and taken to the king of Babylon to speak with him personally and see him face to face.
Sedekiah ọba Juda kò lè bọ́ lọ́wọ́ àwọn Kaldea, ṣùgbọ́n à ó mú fún ọba Babeli, yóò sì bá sọ̀rọ̀ ní ojúkojú; yóò sì rí pẹ̀lú ojú rẹ̀.
5 He will take Zedekiah to Babylon, where he'll remain until I deal with him, declares the Lord. You won't be successful if you fight against the Babylonians.’”
Yóò mú Sedekiah lọ sí Babeli tí yóò wà títí èmi yóò fi bẹ̀ ọ́ wò ni Olúwa wí. Tí ẹ̀yin bá bá àwọn ará Kaldea jà, ẹ̀yin kì yóò borí wọn.’”
6 Jeremiah answered, “The Lord gave me a message, saying:
Jeremiah wí pé, “Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá wí pé:
7 Your cousin Hanamel, son of Shallum, is coming to tell you, ‘Why don't you buy my field in Anathoth because you have the right to redeem it and buy it?’
Hanameli ọmọkùnrin Ṣallumu ẹ̀gbọ́n rẹ̀ yóò tọ̀ ọ́ wá pé, ‘Ra pápá mi tí ó wà ní Anatoti; nítorí gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹni tó súnmọ́ wọn, ẹ̀tọ́ àti ìṣe rẹ ní láti rà á.’
8 Just as the Lord had said, my cousin Hanamel arrived to see me in the guard's courtyard and asked me, ‘Please buy my field in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin because you have the right of family ownership to redeem it. You should buy it for yourself.’” This convinced me that this was a message from the Lord.
“Gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti sọ, Hanameli ọmọ ẹ̀gbọ́n mi tọ̀ mí wá ní àgbàlá túbú wí pé, ‘Ra pápá mi tí ó wà ní Anatoti tí ó wà ní ilẹ̀ Benjamini, èyí tí ó jẹ́ pé ẹ̀tọ́ rẹ ni láti gbà á àti láti ni, rà á fún ara rẹ.’ “Nígbà náà ni èmi mọ̀ wí pé ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa ni èyí.
9 So I bought the field in Anathoth from my cousin Hanamel. I weighed out seventeen shekels of silver to pay him.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni; èmi ra pápá náà ní Anatoti láti ọwọ́ Hanameli ọmọ ẹ̀gbọ́n mi. Mo sì wọn ìwọ̀n ṣékélì àti fàdákà mẹ́tàdínlógún fún un.
10 I signed the deed and sealed it, had it witnessed, and weighed out the silver using the scales.
Mo fọwọ́ sínú ìwé, mo sì dì í pa. Mo pe ẹlẹ́rìí sí i, mo sì wọn fàdákà náà lórí òsùwọ̀n.
11 Then I took the deed of sale, both the sealed original containing the terms and conditions, and the unsealed copy,
Mo mú ìwé tí mo fi rà á, èyí tí a di pa nípa àṣẹ àti òfin wa, àti èyí tí a kò lẹ̀.
12 and handed them to Baruch son of Neriah, son of Mahseiah. I did this in the presence of my cousin Hanamel, the witnesses who had signed the deed of sale, and all the people of Judah who were sitting there in the guard's courtyard.
Èmi sì fi èyí fún Baruku, ọmọ Neriah, ọmọ Maseiah, ní ojú Hanameli, ọmọ ẹ̀gbọ́n mi àti níwájú àwọn ẹlẹ́rìí tí ó ti fi ọwọ́ sí ìwé àti ní ojú àwọn Júù gbogbo tí wọ́n jókòó ní àgbàlá ilé túbú.
13 I gave Baruch these instructions in front of them,
“Ní ojú wọn ni èmi ti pàṣẹ fún Baruku pé,
14 “This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Put these deeds of sale, the sealed original and the open copy, in a clay jar so they can be kept safe for a long time.
èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí; mú àwọn ìwé tí a fi rà á wọ̀nyí, àti èyí tí a lẹ̀ àti èyí tí a kò lẹ̀, kí o wá gbé wọn sínú ìkòkò amọ̀, kí wọn ó lè wà ní ọjọ́ púpọ̀.
15 For this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: The time will come when once again houses, fields, and vineyards will be bought in this country.”
Nítorí èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí; àwọn ilẹ̀, pápá àti ọgbà àjàrà ni à ó tún rà padà nílẹ̀ yìí.
16 After I had given the deed of sale to Baruch son of Neriah, I prayed to the Lord:
“Lẹ́yìn tí mo ti fi ìwé rírà náà fún Baruku ọmọkùnrin Neriah, mo gbàdúrà sí Olúwa wí pé:
17 “Ah, Lord God! You created the heavens and the earth by your great strength and power. Nothing is too hard for you!
“Háà! Olúwa Olódùmarè, ìwọ tí o dá ọ̀run àti ayé pẹ̀lú títóbi agbára rẹ àti gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ apá rẹ. Kò sí ohun tí ó ṣòro fún ọ láti ṣe.
18 You give your trustworthy love to thousands, but you punish the sins of the fathers the consequences affect their children too., Great and powerful God whose name is the Lord Almighty,
O fi ìfẹ́ hàn sí ẹgbẹẹgbẹ̀rún àwọn ènìyàn, ṣùgbọ́n o gbé ìyà ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àwọn baba lé àwọn ọmọ lẹ́yìn wọn. Ọlọ́run títóbi àti alágbára, Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ni orúkọ rẹ.
19 you are the one who is supremely wise and who does incredible things. You watch what everyone does, and you reward them according to the way they live and what their actions deserve.
Títóbi ni ìgbìmọ̀, àti alágbára ní í ṣe, ojú rẹ̀ ṣì sí gbogbo ọ̀nà àwọn ọmọ ènìyàn; láti fi fún olúkúlùkù gẹ́gẹ́ ọ̀nà rẹ̀ àti gẹ́gẹ́ bí èso iṣẹ́ rẹ̀.
20 You carried out signs and miracles in Egypt, and you still do so today, both here in Israel and among all people everywhere. As a result you gained a great reputation, and this is still true today.
O ṣe iṣẹ́ àmì àti iṣẹ́ ìyanu ńlá ní Ejibiti. O sì ń ṣe é títí di òní ní Israẹli àti lára ọmọ ènìyàn tí ó sì ti gba òkìkí tí ó jẹ́ tìrẹ.
21 You led your people Israel out of Egypt with signs and miracles, with your great power and strength that terrified people.
O kó àwọn Israẹli ènìyàn rẹ jáde láti Ejibiti pẹ̀lú iṣẹ́ àmì àti iṣẹ́ ìyanu nínú ọwọ́ agbára àti nína apá rẹ pẹ̀lú ẹ̀rù ńlá.
22 You gave them this land that you had promised to give their forefathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.
Ìwọ fún wọn nílẹ̀ yìí, èyí tí o ti ṣèlérí fún àwọn baba ńlá wọn; ilẹ̀ tí ó ń sàn fún wàrà àti oyin.
23 They came and took it over, but they didn't do what you said or follow your laws. They didn't do everything you ordered them to do, which is why you've brought all this disaster down on them.
Wọ́n wá, wọ́n sì gba ilẹ̀ náà ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ tàbí tẹ̀lé òfin rẹ. Wọn kò ṣe ohun tí o pàṣẹ fún wọn, nítorí náà ìwọ mú àwọn ibi yìí wá sórí wọn.
24 Look at the siege ramps piled up against the city to capture it! Through war and famine and disease, the city will be taken by the Babylonians who are attacking it. You can see that everything you said would happen has happened.
“Wò ó, bí àwọn ìdọ̀tí ṣe kórajọ láti gba ìlú. Nítorí idà, ìyàn àti àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn, sì fi ìlú lé ọwọ́ àwọn ará Kaldea tí ń gbóguntì wọ́n. Ohun tí ìwọ sọ ṣẹ gẹ́gẹ́ bí o ṣe rí i.
25 Yet, Lord God, you have told me, ‘Buy yourself the field with silver in front of witnesses, even though the city has been handed over to the Babylonians!’”
Síbẹ̀ a ó fi ìlú náà fún àwọn ará Babeli, ìwọ Olúwa Olódùmarè sọ fún mi pé, ‘Ra pápá náà pẹ̀lú owó fàdákà, kí o sì pe ẹlẹ́rìí.’”
26 Then Lord gave Jeremiah this message:
Nígbà náà ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ Jeremiah wá pé:
27 Look! I am the Lord, the God of everyone. Is anything too hard for me to do?
“Èmi ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run gbogbo ẹran-ara. Ǹjẹ́ ohun kan ha a ṣòro fún mi bí?
28 So this is what the Lord says: Listen! I'm going to hand over this city to the king of Babylon and the Babylonians, and they will capture it.
Nítorí náà, báyìí ni Olúwa wí, Èmi ṣetán láti fi ìlú yìí fún àwọn ará Kaldea àti fún Nebukadnessari ọba Babeli ẹni tí yóò kó o.
29 The Babylonians who are attacking the city are going to come and set fire to it. They will burn it down, including the houses belonging to the people who made me angry by burning incense to Baal on their rooftops, and by pouring out drink offerings in worship of other gods.
Àwọn ará Kaldea tí ó ń gbógun tí ìlú yóò wọ ìlú. Wọn ó sì fi iná sí ìlú; wọn ó jó o palẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ilé tí àwọn ènìyàn ti ń mú mi bínú, tí wọ́n ń rú ẹbọ tùràrí lórí pẹpẹ fún Baali tiwọn sì ń da ẹbọ ohun mímu fún àwọn ọlọ́run mìíràn.
30 From their earliest days all the people of Israel and of Judah have ever done has been evil in my sight. In fact all they've even done is to make me angry through their actions, declares the Lord.
“Àwọn ènìyàn Israẹli àti Juda kò ṣe ohun kankan bí kò ṣe ibi lójú mi láti ìgbà èwe wọn. Nítorí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ti fi kìkì iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ wọ́n mú mi bínú ni Olúwa wí.
31 This city has been such a source of anger and frustration from the time it was built right up till now. So I'm going to get rid of it,
Láti ọjọ́ tí wọ́n ti kọ́ ọ, títí di àkókò yìí ni ìlú yìí ti jẹ́ ohun ìbínú àti ìyọnu fún mi tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí èmi yóò fà á tu kúrò níwájú mi.
32 because of all the evil things the people of Israel and Judah did that made me angry—their kings, and officials, their priests and prophets, all of those living in Judah and Jerusalem, everyone
Àwọn ènìyàn Israẹli àti àwọn ènìyàn Juda ti mú mi bínú pẹ̀lú gbogbo ìbàjẹ́ tí wọ́n ṣe. Àwọn Israẹli, ọba wọn àti gbogbo ìjòyè, àlùfáà àti wòlíì, àwọn ọkùnrin Juda àti àwọn ènìyàn Jerusalẹmu.
33 They have turned their backs on me. They wouldn't even look at me. Even though I kept on trying to teach them, they refused to listen or accept instruction.
Wọ́n kọ ẹ̀yìn sí mi, wọ́n sì yí ojú wọn padà. Èmi kọ wọ́n, síbẹ̀ wọn kò fetísílẹ̀ láti gbọ́ ẹ̀kọ́ tàbí kọbi ara sí ìwà ìbàjẹ́.
34 They have put their disgusting idols in my Temple, making it unclean.
Wọ́n kó òrìṣà ìríra wọn jọ sí inú ilé tí wọ́n fi orúkọ mi pè, wọ́n sì ṣọ́ di àìmọ́.
35 They have built pagan shrines to Baal in the Valley of Hinnom so they could sacrifice their sons and daughters by burning them in the fire. This is something I never commanded. I never even thought of such a thing—doing something so awful and making the people of Judah guilty of sin.
Wọ́n kọ́ ibi gíga fún Baali ní àfonífojì Hinnomu láti fi ọmọ wọn ọkùnrin àti obìnrin rú ẹbọ sí Moleki. Èmi kò pàṣẹ, fún wọn, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò wá sí ọkàn mi pé kí wọ́n ṣe ohun ìríra wọ̀nyí tí ó sì mú Juda dẹ́ṣẹ̀.
36 Now about this city. You are correctly saying, “It's going be handed over to the king of Babylon through war and famine and disease.” However, this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says:
“Ìwọ ń sọ̀rọ̀ nípa ti ìlú yìí pé, ‘Pẹ̀lú idà, ìyàn àti àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn ni à ó fi wọ́n fún ọba Babeli,’ ṣùgbọ́n ohun tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli sọ nìyìí,
37 I promise to gather my people from all the lands where I exiled them because they made me so very angry. I will bring them back here and they will live in safety.
Èmi ó kó wọn jọ láti gbogbo ilẹ̀ tí mo ti lé wọn kúrò ní ìgbà ìbínú àti ìkáàánú ńlá mi. Èmi yóò mú wọn padà wá sí ilẹ̀ yìí; èmi ó sì jẹ́ kí wọn ó máa gbé láìléwu.
38 They will be my people, and I will be their God.
Wọn yóò jẹ́ ènìyàn mi, èmi yóò sì jẹ́ Ọlọ́run wọn.
39 I will make sure they think the same way and act in harmony, so that they will always honor me so all will be good for them and their descendants.
Èmi ó fún wọn ní ọkàn kan àti ìṣe kí wọn kí ó lè máa bẹ̀rù mi fún rere wọn àti fún rere àwọn ọmọ wọn tí ó tẹ̀lé wọn.
40 I will make an everlasting agreement with them: I'm never going to stop doing them good and I will help them to respect me so that they won't ever abandon me.
Èmi ò bá wọn dá májẹ̀mú ayérayé, èmi kò ní dúró láti ṣe rere fún wọn, Èmi ó sì jẹ́ kí wọ́n bẹ̀rù mi, wọn kì yóò sì padà lẹ́yìn mi.
41 I will be delighted to treat them well, and I will commit myself with the whole of my being to helping them to grow as a nation in this land.
Lóòtítọ́, èmi ó yọ̀ nípa ṣíṣe wọ́n ní rere, èmi ó sì fi dá wọn lójú nípa gbígbìn wọ́n sí ilẹ̀ yìí tọkàntọkàn mi.
42 This is what the Lord says: Just as certainly as I have brought this whole disaster down on my people, so I'm going to give to them all the good things I have promised.
“Nítorí báyìí ni Olúwa wí, gẹ́gẹ́ bí èmi ti mú gbogbo ibi ńlá yìí wá sórí àwọn ènìyàn yìí, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi ó mú gbogbo rere tí èmi ti sọ nípa tiwọn wá sórí wọn.
43 Fields will once again be bought in this country that you're describing, saying, “It's been completely destroyed—no people or animals are left. It's been handed over to the Babylonians.”
Lẹ́ẹ̀kan sí i, pápá yóò di rírà ní ilẹ̀ yìí tí ìwọ ti sọ pé, ‘Ohun òfò ni tí kò bá sí ọkùnrin tàbí àwọn ẹran, nítorí tí a ti fi fún àwọn ará Babeli.’
44 People will buy fields with silver again, deeds will be signed, sealed, and witnessed. This will happen here in the land of Benjamin, in the areas surrounding Jerusalem, and in all the towns of Judah—including the towns of the hill country, the foothills, and the Negev—because I will bring the people back from exile, declares the Lord.
Wọn ó fi owó fàdákà ra oko, wọn yóò fi ọwọ́ sí ìwé, wọn ó dí pa pẹ̀lú ẹlẹ́rìí láti ilẹ̀ Benjamini àti ní ìlú kéékèèké tí ó yí Jerusalẹmu ká, àti ní ìlú Juda àti ní ìlú àwọn ìlú orí òkè, àti ni àwọn ẹsẹ̀ òkè, àti ní gúúsù, èmi ó mú ìgbèkùn wọn padà wá, ni Olúwa wí.”
