Jeremiah 49
1 This is what the Lord says about the Ammonites: Don't the Israelites have any children? Don't they have heirs to inherit their property? So why has Milcom taken over the territory belonging to the tribe of Gad? Why are his people living in their towns?
Nípa Ammoni. Báyìí ni Olúwa wí, “Israẹli kò ha ní ọmọkùnrin? Israẹli kò ha ní àrólé bí? Nítorí kí ni Malkomu ṣe jogún Gadi? Kí ló dé tí àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ ń gbé ìlú rẹ̀?
2 Watch out! The time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will signal the attack on the Ammonite town of Rabbah. It will be turned into a pile of ruins, and its villages will be burned down. Then the Israelites will drive out the people who took over their land, says the Lord.
Ṣùgbọ́n ọjọ́ náà ń bọ̀,” ni Olúwa wí; “nígbà tí èmi yóò mú kí a gbọ́ ìdágìrì ogun ní Rabba tí Ammoni; yóò sì di òkìtì ahoro, gbogbo ìlú tí ó yí i ká ni a ó jó níná. Nígbà náà ni Israẹli yóò lé wọn, àwọn tí ó ti lé e jáde,” ni Olúwa wí.
3 Weep, people of Heshbon, for the town of Ai has been destroyed. Cry for help, people of Rabbah! Put on clothes made of sackcloth and start mourning; run to and fro inside your city walls, because your god Milcom will go into exile along with his priests and leaders.
“Hu, ìwọ Heṣboni, nítorí Ai tí rún! Kígbe ẹ̀yin olùgbé Rabba! Ẹ wọ aṣọ ọ̀fọ̀ kí ẹ sì ṣọ̀fọ̀. Ẹ sáré sókè sódò nínú ọgbà, nítorí Malkomu yóò lọ sí ìgbèkùn, pẹ̀lú àwọn àlùfáà àti ìjòyè rẹ̀.
4 Why do you boast that your valleys are so productive, you unfaithful people? You trust in your wealth, saying, “Who would dare attack us?”
Èéṣe tí ìwọ fi ń ṣògo nínú àfonífojì rẹ, ṣògo nínú àfonífojì rẹ fún èso? Ẹ̀yin ọmọbìnrin Ammoni aláìṣòótọ́, ẹ gbẹ́kẹ̀lé ọrọ̀ yín, ẹ sì wí pé, ‘Ta ni yóò kò mí lójú?’
5 Watch out! I'm going to bring the surrounding nations to terrorize you, declares the Lord God Almighty. You will all be driven out and scattered, and no one will be able to gather you refugees together again.
Èmi yóò mu ẹ̀rù wá lórí rẹ láti ọ̀dọ̀ gbogbo àwọn tó yí ọ ká,” ni Olúwa, ni Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí.
6 However, later on I will bring you Ammonites back from exile, declares the Lord.
“Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun. Gbogbo yín ni ó lé jáde, kò sì ṣí ẹnìkan tí yóò dá ìkólọ Ammoni padà,” ni Olúwa wí.
7 This is what the Lord Almighty says about Edom: Aren't there any wise people left in Teman? Isn't there any good advice from those with insight? Has their wisdom rotted away?
Nípa Edomu. Èyí ní ohun tí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí: “Ṣe kò ha sí ọgbọ́n mọ́ ni Temani? Ṣé a ti ké ìmọ̀ràn kúrò ní ọ̀dọ̀ olóyè? Ṣé ọgbọ́n wọn ti bàjẹ́ bí?
8 Turn and run away! Find somewhere to hide, people of Dedan, because I'm bringing disaster down on you descendants of Esau when I punish you.
Yípadà kí o sálọ, sá pamọ́ sínú ihò, ìwọ tí ó ń gbé ní Dedani, nítorí èmi yóò mú ibi wá sórí Esau, ní àkókò tí èmi ó bẹ̀ ẹ́ wò.
9 If people harvesting grapes came to you, they'd leave some behind, wouldn't they? If thieves came during the night, they'd only steal what they wanted, wouldn't they?
Tí àwọn tí ń ṣa èso bá tọ̀ ọ́ wá; ǹjẹ́ wọn kò ní fi èso díẹ̀ sílẹ̀? Tí olè bá wá ní òru; ǹjẹ́ wọn kò ní kó gbogbo ohun tí wọ́n bá fẹ́?
10 But I'm going to strip the whole country of bare, leaving its people with nowhere to hide. All of Esau's descendants will be destroyed, along with their relatives and friends—they will all be gone.
Ṣùgbọ́n èmi yóò tu Esau sí ìhòhò, èmi ti fi ibi ìkọ̀kọ̀ rẹ̀ hàn, nítorí kí o máa ba à fi ara rẹ pamọ́. Àwọn ọmọ rẹ, ẹbí rẹ àti àwọn ará ilé rẹ yóò parun. Wọn kò sì ní sí mọ́.
11 However, you can leave your orphans to me because I will protect them. Have your widows put their trust in me.
Fi àwọn ọmọ aláìní baba sílẹ̀ èmi yóò dáàbò bo ẹ̀mí wọn. Àwọn opó rẹ gan an lè gbẹ́kẹ̀lé mi.”
12 This is what the Lord says: If those who were not required to drink from the cup of judgment had to do so, how could you not be punished yourselves? You won't go unpunished, because you have to drink it too.
Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí bí ẹnikẹ́ni tí kò bá yẹ kí ó mu ago náà bá mú un, kí ló dé tí ìwọ yóò fi lọ láìjìyà? Ìwọ kò ní lọ láìjìyà; ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ yóò mú un.
13 I made myself a solemn promise, declares the Lord, that the town of Bozrah will become a place that horrifies people, a complete humiliation, a pile of ruins, and a name that's used as a curse word. All its surrounding towns will also be left in ruins forever.
Èmi fi ara mi búra ni Olúwa wí, wí pé, “Bosra yóò ba ayé ara rẹ̀ jẹ́. Yóò di ẹni ẹ̀gàn, ẹni èpè àti ẹni ègún, àti gbogbo ìlú rẹ̀ yóò di ìbàjẹ́ títí láé.”
14 I received this message from the Lord. He has sent a messenger to the nations: Get yourselves ready to attack Edom! Prepare for battle!
Ní gbígbọ́, èmi ti gbọ́ ìró kan láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa, a rán ikọ̀ kan sí orílẹ̀-èdè pé, ẹ kó ara yín jọ, ẹ wá sórí rẹ̀, ẹ sì dìde láti jagun.
15 Watch as I will make you insignificant compared to other nations—everyone will look down on you.
“Ní báyìí, èmi yóò sọ ọ́ di kékeré láàrín orílẹ̀-èdè gbogbo; ẹni ẹ̀gàn láàrín àwọn ènìyàn.
16 The fear you once created in others, and your pride in yourselves, has fooled you into overconfidence, you people living on the rocky mountain tops. Though you make your homes high out of reach like an eagle's nest, I will tear you down, even from there, declares the Lord.
Ìpayà tí ìwọ ti fà sínú ìgbéraga ọkàn rẹ sì ti tàn ọ́ jẹ; ìwọ tí ń gbé ní pàlàpálá àpáta, tí o jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ gíga síbẹ̀ o kọ́ ìtẹ́ rẹ ga gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹyẹ idì; láti ibẹ̀ ni èmi yóò ti mú ọ sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá,” ni Olúwa wí.
17 People will be horrified at what's happened to Edom. Everyone passing by will be shocked, and will sneer at all its damage.
“Edomu yóò di ahoro gbogbo àwọn tí ń kọjá yóò jáyà, wọn ó sì fi rẹ́rìn-ín ẹlẹ́yà nítorí gbogbo ìpalára rẹ.
18 Just as Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed, along with their neighboring towns, says the Lord, nobody will live there—they will become uninhabited.
Gẹ́gẹ́ bí wọ́n ṣe gba Sodomu àti Gomorra pẹ̀lú àwọn ìlú tí ó wà ní àyíká rẹ,” ní Olúwa wí. “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, kò sí ẹnikẹ́ni tí yóò gbé níbẹ̀; kò sì ní sí ènìyàn tí yóò tẹ̀dó síbẹ̀ mọ́.
19 Watch out! I'm going to come like a lion from the tangled undergrowth beside the Jordan to attack the animals grazing the green pasture. In fact I'm going to chase the Edomites from their land very quickly. Who will I choose to conquer them? Who is like me? Who can challenge me? Which leader could oppose me?
“Bí i kìnnìún ni òun ó gòkè wá láti igbó Jordani sí orí ilẹ̀ ọlọ́ràá, Èmi ó lé Edomu kúrò ní ilẹ̀ rẹ̀ ní kíákíá. Ta ni àyànfẹ́ náà tí èmi ó yàn sórí rẹ̀? Ta ló dàbí mi, ta ni ó sì pé mi ṣe ẹlẹ́rìí? Ta ni olùṣọ́-àgùntàn náà tí yóò le dúró níwájú mi?”
20 So listen to what the Lord has planned to do to Edom and the people of Teman: Their children will be dragged away like lambs from the flock, and because of them their pasture will become a wasteland.
Nítorí náà, ẹ gbọ́ ohun tí Olúwa ní fún Edomu, ohun tí ó ní ní pàtàkì fún àwọn tí ń gbé ní Temani. Àwọn ọ̀dọ́ àgbò ni à ó lé jáde; pápá oko wọn ni yóò run nítorí wọn.
21 When they fall, the sound they make will make the earth shake; their cries will be heard all the way to the Red Sea.
Ilẹ̀ yóò mì tìtì nípa ariwo ìṣubú wọn, a ó gbọ́ igbe wọn ní Òkun pupa.
22 Watch as an enemy like an eagle flies high, then swoops down, spreading its wings as it attacks Bozrah. At that time Edom's warriors will be as scared as a woman in labor.
Wò ó! Ẹyẹ idì yóò gòkè fò wálẹ̀, yóò tẹ ìyẹ́ rẹ̀ lórí Bosra. Ní ọjọ́ náà ọkàn àwọn ajagun Edomu yóò dàbí ọkàn obìnrin tí ń rọbí.
23 A prophecy about Damascus: The towns of Hamath and Arpad are disturbed, because they've received bad news. They are fearful, restless like the sea. Nothing can calm their worries.
Nípa Damasku. “Inú Hamati àti Arpadi bàjẹ́ nítorí wọ́n gbọ́ ìròyìn búburú, ìjayà dé bá wọn, wọ́n sì dààmú bí omi Òkun.
24 The people of Damascus are demoralized—they turn and run away in panic, overcome by pain and anguish like a woman in labor.
Damasku di aláìlera, ó pẹ̀yìndà láti sálọ, ìwárìrì sì dé bá a; ìbẹ̀rù àti ìrora dìímú, ìrora bí ti obìnrin tí ó wà ní ipò ìrọbí.
25 Why isn't the city that is praised deserted, the city that made me happy?
Kí ló dé tí ìlú olókìkí di ohun ìkọ̀sílẹ̀; ìlú tí mo dunnú sí.
26 For on that day its young men will die in its streets, all its defenders will be killed, declares the Lord of Hosts.
Lóòtítọ́, àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin rẹ yóò ṣubú lójú pópó, gbogbo àwọn ọmọ-ogun rẹ yóò pa ẹnu mọ́ ní ọjọ́ náà,” ní Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí.
27 I'm going to set fire to the walls of Damascus; that will burn down the fortresses of Ben-hadad.
“Èmi yóò fi iná sí odi Damasku, yóò sì jó gbọ̀ngàn Beni-Hadadi run.”
28 A prophecy about the land of Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor that were attacked by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. This is what the Lord says: Go and attack Kedar; destroy the people of the east!
Nípa ìlú Kedari àti ìjọba Hasori èyí ti Nebukadnessari ọba Babeli dojú ìjà kọ, èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa sọ, “Dìde kí o sì dojú ìjà kọ ìlú Kedari, kí o sì pa àwọn ènìyàn ìlà-oòrùn run.
29 Take their tents and their flocks! Carry off their tent curtains and all their possessions! Take their camels for yourselves. Shout out to them: “Terror is everywhere!”
Àgọ́ wọn àti agbo àgùntàn wọn ni wọn ó kó lọ; àgọ́ wọn yóò di ìṣínípò padà pẹ̀lú gbogbo ẹrù àti ìbákasẹ wọn. Àwọn ènìyàn yóò ké sórí wọ́n pé, ‘Ẹ̀rù yí káàkiri!’
30 Run! Get away as far as you can! Find somewhere to hide, people of Hazor, declares the Lord. For Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has made plans to attack and destroy you.
“Sálọ kíákíá! Fi ara pamọ́ sí ibi jíjìn, ẹ̀yin olùgbé Hasori,” ni Olúwa wí. “Nebukadnessari ọba Babeli ti dojú ìjà kọ ọ́.
31 Go and attack that self-satisfied nation that thinks it's safe, declares the Lord. They don't have any barred gates and have no allies.
“Dìde kí o sì dojú ìjà kọ orílẹ̀-èdè tí ó wà nínú ìrọ̀rùn, èyí tí ó gbé ní àìléwu,” ní Olúwa wí. “Orílẹ̀-èdè tí kò ní odi tàbí irin, àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ ń dágbé.
32 Their camels and large herds will be plunder for you. I will scatter them everywhere, these desert people who trim their hair on the sides of their heads. I will bring disaster down on them from all directions, declares the Lord.
Àwọn ìbákasẹ á di ẹrù àti àwọn ẹran ọ̀sìn, wọ́n á di ìkógun. Èmi yóò tú àwọn tí ó wà ní òkèèrè sí inú afẹ́fẹ́. Èmi yóò sì mú ibi wá sí àyíká gbogbo,” báyìí ní Olúwa wí.
33 Hazor will become a place where jackals live, a place abandoned forever. No one will live there; it will become uninhabited.
“Hasori yóò di ibi ìdọdẹ àwọn akátá, ibi ìkọ̀sílẹ̀ ayérayé, kò sí ẹni tí yóò gbé ní ibẹ̀.”
34 This is the Lord's message that came to Jeremiah the prophet about Elam. This was at the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah.
Èyí ní ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa èyí tí ó tọ Jeremiah wòlíì wá nípa Elamu ní ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ ìjọba Sedekiah ọba Juda.
35 This is what the Lord Almighty says: Look! I'm going to smash the bows of the Elamites, the weapon they rely on for their power.
Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun sọ: “Wò ó, èmi yóò fọ́ ìtẹ̀gùn Elamu, ẹni tí wọ́n sinmi lé nípa agbára.
36 I will bring winds from all directions to attack Elam, and I will scatter them in all directions. There won't be a nation that doesn't have some of Elam's exiles.
Èmi yóò mú kí afẹ́fẹ́ orígun mẹ́rẹ̀ẹ̀rin àgbáyé lòdì sí Elamu. Èmi yóò tú wọn ká sí ìpín afẹ́fẹ́ mẹ́rin àti pé, kò sí orílẹ̀-èdè tí ilẹ̀ àjèjì Elamu kò ní lọ.
37 I will smash the Elamites in front of their enemies, before those who want to kill them. In my furious anger I will bring disaster down on them, declares the Lord. I will chase them down with the sword until I have destroyed them.
Èmi yóò kẹ́gàn Elamu níwájú àwọn ọ̀tá wọn, àti níwájú àwọn tí wọ́n ń wá ẹ̀mí wọn, Èmi yóò mú ibi wá sí orí wọn, àní, ìbínú gbígbóná mi,” bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Olúwa wí. “Èmi yóò lé wọn pẹ̀lú idà, di ìgbà tí èmi yóò rẹ́yìn wọn.
38 I will set up my throne in Elam, and destroy its king and officials, declares the Lord.
Èmi yóò sì gbé ìtẹ́ mi kalẹ̀ ní Elamu, èmí yóò sì pa ọba wọn àti ìjòyè wọn run,” báyìí ni Olúwa wí.
39 However, later on I will bring the Elamites back from exile, declares the Lord.
“Síbẹ̀, èmi yóò dá ìkólọ Elamu padà láìpẹ́ ọjọ́,” báyìí ni Olúwa wí.
