< Jeremiah 17 >

1 The sinne of Iudah is written with a pen of yron, and with the poynt of a diamonde, and grauen vpon the table of their heart, and vpon the hornes of your altars.
“Ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ Juda ni a fi kálámù irin kọ, èyí tí a fi ṣóńṣó òkúta adamante gbẹ́ ẹ, sórí wàláà oókan àyà wọn, àti sórí ìwo pẹpẹ yín.
2 They remember their altars as their children, with their groues by the greene trees vpon the hilles.
Kódà àwọn ọmọ wọn rántí pẹpẹ àti ère Aṣerah lẹ́bàá igi tí ó tẹ́ rẹrẹ àti àwọn òkè gíga.
3 O my mountaine in the fielde, I will giue thy substance, and all thy treasures to be spoyled, for the sinne of thy high places throughout all thy borders.
Àwọn òkè nínú ilẹ̀ àti àwọn ọrọ̀ rẹ̀ àti ọlá rẹ̀ ni èmi yóò fi sílẹ̀ bí ìjẹ pẹ̀lú àwọn ibi gíga, nítorí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ tí ó pọ̀ káàkiri orílẹ̀-èdè yín.
4 And thou shalt rest, and in thee shall be a rest from thine heritage that I gaue thee, and I will cause thee to serue thine enemies in the land, which thou knowest not: for yee haue kindled a fire in mine anger, which shall burne for euer.
Láti ipasẹ̀ àìṣedéédéé yín ni ẹ̀yin yóò ti sọ ogún tí mo fún un yín nù. Èmi yóò fi yín fún ọ̀tá yín bí ẹrú ní ilẹ̀ tí ẹ̀yin kò mọ̀, nítorí ẹ̀yin ti mú inú bí mi, èyí tí yóò sì wà títí ayé.”
5 Thus saith the Lord, Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arme, and withdraweth his heart from the Lord.
Báyìí ni Olúwa wí: “Ègbé ni fún àwọn tí ó fi ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé wọn sínú ènìyàn, tí ó fi agbára rẹ̀ sínú ẹran-ara, àti tí ọkàn rẹ̀ kò sí lọ́dọ̀ Olúwa.
6 For he shall be like the heath in the wildernesse, and shall not see when any good commeth, but shall inhabite the parched places in the wildernesse, in a salt land, and not inhabited.
Yóò dàbí igbó tí ó wà ní ilẹ̀ aláìlọ́ràá, kò ní rí ìre, nígbà tí ó bá dé, yóò máa gbé ní ibi ìyàngbẹ ilẹ̀ aginjù, ní ilẹ̀ iyọ̀ tí ẹnikẹ́ni kò gbé.
7 Blessed be the man, that trusteth in ye Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.
“Ṣùgbọ́n ìbùkún ni fún ọkùnrin náà tí ó gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Olúwa, tí ó sì fi Olúwa ṣe ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé rẹ̀.
8 For he shall be as a tree that is planted by the water, which spreadeth out her rootes by the riuer, and shall not feele when the heate commeth, but her leafe shall be greene, and shall not care for the yeere of drought, neyther shall cease from yeelding fruit.
Yóò dàbí igi tí a gbìn sí ipadò tí ó ta gbòǹgbò rẹ̀ ká etí odò kò sí ìbẹ̀rù fún un nígbà ooru, gbogbo ìgbà ni èwe rẹ̀ máa ń tutù kò sí ìjayà fún un ní ọdún ọ̀dá bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò ní dẹ́kun láti máa so èso.”
9 The heart is deceitfull and wicked aboue all things, who can knowe it?
Ọkàn ènìyàn kún fún ẹ̀tàn ju ohun gbogbo lọ, ó kọjá ohun tí a lè wòsàn. Ta ni èyí lè yé?
10 I the Lord search the heart, and try ye reines, euen to giue euery man according to his wayes, and according to the fruite of his workes.
“Èmi Olúwa ń wo ọkàn àti èrò inú ọmọ ènìyàn, láti san èrè iṣẹ́ rẹ̀ fún un gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀nà rẹ̀, àti gẹ́gẹ́ bí iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ rẹ̀.”
11 As the partryche gathereth the yong, which she hath not brought forth: so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leaue them in the middes of his dayes, and at his ende shall bee a foole.
Bí àparò tó pa ẹyin tí kò yé ni ọmọ ènìyàn tí ó kó ọrọ̀ jọ ni ọ̀nà àìṣòdodo. Yóò di ẹni ìkọ̀sílẹ̀ ní agbede-méjì ayé rẹ̀, àti ní òpin rẹ̀ yóò wá di aṣiwèrè.
12 As a glorious throne exalted from the beginning, so is the place of our Sanctuarie.
Ìtẹ́ ògo; ibi gíga láti ìpilẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ní ibi ilé mímọ́ wa.
13 O Lord, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee, shall be confounded: they that depart from thee, shalbe written in the earth, because they haue forsaken the Lord, the fountaine of liuing waters.
Olúwa ìwọ ni ìrètí Israẹli; gbogbo àwọn tí ó kọ̀ ọ́ sílẹ̀ ni ojú ó tì. Àwọn tí ó padà sẹ́yìn kúrò lọ́dọ̀ rẹ ni a ó kọ orúkọ wọn sínú ekuru, nítorí wọ́n ti kọ Olúwa, orísun omi ìyè sílẹ̀.
14 Heale me, O Lord, and I shall bee whole: saue me, and I shall bee saued: for thou art my prayse.
Wò mí sàn Olúwa, èmi yóò di ẹni ìwòsàn, gbà mí là, èmi yóò di ẹni ìgbàlà, nítorí ìwọ ni ìyìn mi.
15 Behold, they say vnto me, Where is the word of the Lord? let it come nowe.
Wọ́n sọ fún mi wí pé: “Níbo ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa wà? Jẹ́ kí ó di ìmúṣẹ báyìí.” Ni Olúwa wí.
16 But I haue not thrust in my selfe for a pastour after thee, neither haue I desired the day of miserie, thou knowest: that which came out of my lips, was right before thee.
Èmi kò sá kúrò láti máa jẹ́ olùṣọ àgùntàn rẹ, ìwọ mọ̀ wí pé èmi kò kẹ̀rẹ̀ ní ọjọ́ ìpọ́njú. Ohun tí ó jáde ní ètè mi jẹ́ èyí tí ó hàn sí ọ.
17 Be not terrible vnto mee: thou art mine hope in the day of aduersitie.
Má ṣe di ìbẹ̀rù fún mi, ìwọ ni ààbò mi ní ọjọ́ ìpọ́njú.
18 Let them bee confounded, that persecute me, but let not me be confounded: let them be afraide, but let not me be afraide: bring vpon them the day of aduersitie, and destroy them with double destruction.
Jẹ́ kí ojú ti àwọn ẹni tí ń lépa mi, ṣùgbọ́n pa mí mọ́ kúrò nínú ìtìjú, jẹ́ kí wọn kí ó dààmú. Mú ọjọ́ ibi wá sórí wọn, fi ìparun ìlọ́po méjì pa wọ́n run.
19 Thus hath the Lord said vnto me, Goe and stande in the gate of the children of the people, whereby the Kings of Iudah come in, and by the which they goe out, and in all ye gates of Ierusalem,
Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí fún mi: “Lọ dúró ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà àwọn ènìyàn níbi tí àwọn ọba Juda ń gbà wọlé tí wọ́n ń gbà jáde àti ní gbogbo ẹnu-bodè Jerusalẹmu.
20 And say vnto them, Heare the word of the Lord, ye Kings of Iudah, and al Iudah, and all the inhabitants of Ierusale, that enter in by these gates.
Sọ fún wọ́n pé, ‘Ẹ gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa ẹ̀yin ọba Juda àti gbogbo ẹ̀yin ènìyàn Juda àti gbogbo ẹ̀yin tí ń gbé ní Jerusalẹmu tí ń wọlé láti ẹnu ibodè yìí.
21 Thus sayth the Lord, Take heede to your soules, and beare no burden in the Sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Ierusalem.
Báyìí ni Olúwa wí, “Ẹ kíyèsi láti máa ru ẹrù lọ́jọ́ ìsinmi tàbí kí ẹ gbé wọlé láti ẹnu ibodè Jerusalẹmu.
22 Neither cary foorth burdens out of your houses in the Sabbath day: neither doe yee any worke, but sanctifie the Sabbath, as I commanded your fathers.
Má ṣe gbé ẹrù jáde kúrò nínú ilé yín, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kí ẹ má ṣe ṣe iṣẹ́kíṣẹ́ ní ọjọ́ ìsinmi ṣùgbọ́n kí ẹ pa ọjọ́ ìsinmi mọ́ fún àwọn baba ńlá yín.”
23 But they obeied not, neither inclined their eares, but made their neckes stiffe and would not heare, nor receiue correction.
Síbẹ̀ wọn kò gbọ́ tàbí tẹ́tí sílẹ̀, wọ́n jẹ́ ọlọ́rùn líle; wọn kì í fẹ́ gbọ́ tàbí gba ìbáwí.
24 Neuerthelesse if ye will heare me, sayth the Lord, and beare no burden through the gates of the citie in the Sabbath day, but sanctifie ye Sabbath day, so that ye do no worke therein,
Ṣùgbọ́n tí ẹ̀yin bá kíyèsi láti gbọ́ tèmi ní Olúwa wí, tí ẹ kò sì gbe ẹrù gba ẹnu-bodè ìlú ní ọjọ́ ìsinmi, ṣùgbọ́n tí ẹ ya ọjọ́ ìsinmi, sí mímọ́, nípa pé ẹ kò ṣe iṣẹ́kíṣẹ́ ní ọjọ́ náà.
25 Then shall the Kings and the princes enter in at the gates of this citie, and shall sit vpon the throne of Dauid, and shall ride vpon charets, and vpon horses, both they and their princes, the men of Iudah, and the inhabitants of Ierusalem: and this citie shall remaine for euer.
Nígbà náà ni ọba tí ó jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ Dafidi yóò gba ẹnu ibodè wọlé pẹ̀lú àwọn ìjòyè rẹ̀. Àwọn àti ìjòyè wọn yóò gun ẹṣin àti kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ wá, àwọn ọkùnrin Juda àti àwọn olùgbé Jerusalẹmu yóò tẹ̀lé wọn; ìlú yìí yóò sì di ibi gbígbé títí láéláé.
26 And they shall come from the cities of Iudah, and from about Ierusalem, and from the land of Beniamin, and from the plaine, and from the mountaines, and from the South, which shall bring burnt offrings, and sacrifices, and meate offrings, and incense, and shall bring sacrifice of prayse into the house of the Lord.
Àwọn ènìyàn yóò wá láti ìlú Juda àti ní agbègbè Jerusalẹmu, láti ilẹ̀ Benjamini, láti pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀, àti láti òkè, àti láti gúúsù wá, wọn yóò wá pẹ̀lú ọrẹ ẹbọ sísun, àti ọrẹ ẹran, àti tùràrí, àti àwọn tó mú ìyìn wá sí ilé Olúwa.
27 But if ye will not heare me to sanctifie the Sabbath day, and not to beare a burden nor to go through the gates of Ierusalem in the Sabbath day, then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall deuoure the palaces of Ierusalem, and it shall not be quenched.
Ṣùgbọ́n bí ẹ̀yin kò bá pa òfin mi mọ́ láti ya ọjọ́ ìsinmi sí mímọ́, kí ẹ má sì ṣe ru ẹrùkẹ́rù bí ẹ̀yin yóò ṣe máa gba ẹnu ibodè Jerusalẹmu wọlé ní ọjọ́ ìsinmi, nígbà náà ni èmi yóò da iná tí kò ní ṣe é parun ní ẹnu-bodè Jerusalẹmu tí yóò sì jó odi agbára rẹ̀.’”
