< Jeremiah 31 >

1 At the same time, saith the Lord, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, 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 which escaped the sworde, founde grace in the wildernes: he walked before Israel to cause him to 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 vnto me of old, say they: Yea, I haue loued thee with an euerlasting loue, therefore with mercie I haue drawen 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 Againe I will builde thee, and thou shalt be builded, O virgine Israel: thou shalt stil be adorned with thy timbrels, and shalt goe foorth in the dance of them that be ioyfull.
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 vines vpon the mountaines of Samaria, and the planters that plant them, shall make them common.
Ẹ ó tún gbin ọgbà àjàrà ní orí òkè Samaria; àwọn àgbẹ̀ yóò sì máa gbádùn èso oko wọn.
6 For the dayes shall come that the watchmen vpon the mount of Ephraim shall cry, Arise, and let vs go vp vnto Zion 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, Reioyce with gladnesse for Iaakob, and shoute for ioye among the chiefe of the Gentiles: publish praise, and say, O Lord, saue 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 Beholde, I will bring them from the North countrey, and gather them from the coastes of the world, with the blinde and the lame among them, with the woman with childe, and her that is deliuered also: a great companie shall returne 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 weeping, and with mercie will I bring them againe: I will lead them by the riuers of water in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my first borne.
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 Heare the worde of the Lord, O ye Gentiles, and declare in the yles afarre off, and say, Hee that scattered Israel, wil gather him and wil keepe him, as a shepheard doeth his flocke.
“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 Iaakob, and ransomed him from the hande of him, that was stronger then he.
Nítorí Olúwa ti tú Jakọbu sílẹ̀, o sì rà á padà ní ọwọ́ àwọn tí ó lágbára jù ú lọ.
12 Therefore they shall come, and reioyce in the height of Zion, and shall runne to the bountifulnes of the Lord, euen for the wheat and for the wine, and for the oyle, and for the increase of sheepe, and bullocks: and their soule shalbe as a watered garden, and they shall haue no more sorow.
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 ye virgine reioyce in the dance, and the yong men and the old men together: for I wil turne their mourning into ioy, and wil comfort them, and giue them ioy for their sorowes.
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 wil replenish the soule of the Priests with fatnesse, and my people shalbe satisfied with my goodnesse, 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 voyce was heard on hie, a mourning and bitter weeping. Rahel weeping for her children, refused to be comforted for her children, because they were 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, Refraine thy voyce from weeping, and thine eyes from teares: for thy worke shalbe rewarded, saith the Lord, and they shall come againe from the land of the enemie:
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 there is hope in thine ende, saith the Lord, that thy children shall come againe to their owne borders.
Nítorí ìrètí wà fún ọjọ́ iwájú rẹ,” ni Olúwa wí. “Àwọn ọmọ rẹ yóò padà wá sí ilẹ̀ wọn.
18 I haue heard Ephraim lamenting thus, Thou hast corrected me, and I was chastised as an vntamed calfe: conuert thou me, and I shalbe conuerted: 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 Surely after that I conuerted, I repented: and after that I was instructed, I smote vpon my thigh: I was ashamed, yea, euen confounded, because I did beare the reproch 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 Is Ephraim my deare sonne or pleasant childe? yet since I spake vnto him, I still remembred him: therefore my bowels are troubled for him: I wil surely haue compassion vpon 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 vp signes: make thee heapes: set thine heart towarde the path and way, that thou hast walked: turne againe, O virgine of Israel: turne againe 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 goe astray, O thou rebellious daughter? for the Lord hath created a newe thing in the earth: A WOMAN shall compasse 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 hostes, the God of Israel, Yet shall they say this thing in the land of Iudah, and in the cities thereof, when I shall bring againe their captiuitie, The Lord blesse thee, O habitation of iustice and holy mountaine.
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 Iudah shall dwell in it, and all the cities thereof together, the husbandmen and they that goe foorth with the flocke.
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 haue saciate the wearie soule, and I haue replenished euery sorowfull soule.
Èmi yóò sọ aláàárẹ̀ di ọ̀tun, èmi yóò sì tẹ́ gbogbo ọkàn tí ń káàánú lọ́rùn.”
26 Therefore I awaked and behelde, and my sleepe was sweete vnto me.
Lórí èyí ni mo jí, mo sì wò yíká, oorun mi sì dùn mọ́ mi.
27 Beholde, the dayes come, saith the Lord, that I will sowe the house of Israel, and the house of Iudah with the seede of man and with the seede of beast.
“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 like as I haue watched vpon them, to plucke vp and to roote out, and to throw downe, and to destroy, and to plague them, so wil I watch ouer them, to build and to plant them, saith ye 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 dayes shall they say no more, The fathers haue eaten a sowre grape, and the childrens teeth 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 euery one shall die for his owne iniquitie: euery man that eateth the sowre grape, his teeth shalbe set on edge.
Ṣùgbọ́n olúkúlùkù ni yóò kú fún ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ̀, ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá jẹ èso kíkan ni eyín yóò kan.
31 Beholde, the dayes come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new couenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Iudah,
“Ìgbà kan ń bọ̀,” ni Olúwa wí, “tí Èmi yóò bá ilé Israẹli àti ilé Juda dá májẹ̀mú tuntun.
32 Not according to ye couenant that I made with their fathers, when I tooke them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, the which my couenant they brake, although I was an husband vnto 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 couenant that I will make with the house of Israel, After those dayes, saith the Lord, I will put my Lawe in their inward partes, and write it in their hearts, and wil be their God, and they shalbe 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 euery man his neighbour and euery man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me from the least of them vnto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I wil forgiue their iniquitie, and will remember their sinnes no more.

35 Thus saith the Lord, which giueth the sunne for a light to the day, and the courses of the moone and of the starres for a light to the night, which breaketh the sea, when the waues thereof roare: his Name is the Lord of hostes.

36 If these ordinances depart out of my sight, saith the Lord, then shall the seede of Israel cease from being a nation before me, for euer.

37 Thus saith the Lord, If the heauens can be measured, or the fundations of the earth be searched out beneath, then wil I cast off all the seed of Israel, for all that they haue 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 dayes come, saith the Lord, that the citie shalbe built to the Lord from the tower of Hananeel, vnto 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.

40 And the whole valley of the dead bodies, and of the ashes, and all the fields vnto the brooke of Kidron, and vnto the corner of the horsegate toward the East, shalbe holy vnto the Lord, neither shall it be plucked vp nor destroyed any more for euer.
