< Jeremiah 27 >

1 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, came this word unto Jeremiah from the LORD, saying:
Ní ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ pẹ̀pẹ̀ ìṣèjọba Sedekiah ọmọ Josiah ọba Juda, ọ̀rọ̀ yìí tọ Jeremiah wá láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa wí pé.
2 'Thus saith the LORD to me: Make thee bands and bars, and put them upon thy neck;
Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí, “Ṣe àjàgà àti ọ̀pá irin fún ara rẹ, kí o sì fiwé ọrùn rẹ.
3 and send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the children of Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Zidon, by the hand of the messengers that come to Jerusalem unto Zedekiah king of Judah;
Kí o rán ọ̀rọ̀ sí ọba ti Edomu, Moabu, Ammoni, Tire àti Sidoni láti ọwọ́ àwọn ikọ̀ tí ó wá sí Jerusalẹmu sọ́dọ̀ Sedekiah ọba Juda.
4 and give them a charge unto their masters, saying: Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Thus shall ye say unto your masters:
Kí o sì pàṣẹ fún wọn láti wí fún àwọn olúwa wọn pé, ‘Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun, Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí: “Sọ èyí fún àwọn olúwa rẹ.
5 I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are upon the face of the earth, by My great power and by My outstretched arm; and I give it unto whom it seemeth right unto Me.
Pẹ̀lú agbára ńlá mi àti ọwọ́ nínà mi ni Èmi dá ayé, ènìyàn àti ẹranko tí ó wà lórí ilẹ̀ ayé, mo sì fún ẹni tí ó wu ọkàn mi.
6 And now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, My servant; and the beasts of the field also have I given him to serve him.
Nísinsin yìí, Èmi yóò fa gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè rẹ fún Nebukadnessari ọba Babeli ìránṣẹ́ mi; Èmi yóò sì mú àwọn ẹranko búburú wọ̀n-ọn-nì jẹ́ tirẹ̀.
7 And all the nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son's son, until the time of his own land come; and then many nations and great kings shall make him their bondman.
Gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè ni yóò máa sìn ín àti àwọn ọmọdọ́mọ rẹ̀ títí ilẹ̀ rẹ yóò fi dé; ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ orílẹ̀-èdè àti àwọn ọba ńlá ni yóò tẹríba fún.
8 And it shall come to pass, that the nation and the kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I visit, saith the LORD, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.
“‘“Ṣùgbọ́n tí orílẹ̀-èdè tàbí ìjọba kan kò bá ní sin Nebukadnessari ọba Babeli, tàbí kí ó tẹ orí rẹ̀ ba ní abẹ́ àjàgà rẹ̀, Èmi yóò fi ìyà jẹ orílẹ̀-èdè náà nípa idà, ìyàn àti àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn, ni Olúwa wí títí Èmi yóò fi run wọ́n nípa ọwọ́ rẹ̀.
9 But as for you, hearken ye not to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreams, nor to your soothsayers, nor to your sorcerers, that speak unto you, saying: Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon;
Nítorí náà, ẹ má ṣe tẹ́tí sílẹ̀ sí àwọn wòlíì yín, àwọn aláfọ̀ṣẹ yín, àwọn tí ń rọ́ àlá fún un yín, àwọn oṣó yín, tàbí àwọn àjẹ́ yín tí wọ́n ń sọ fún un yín pé, ‘Ẹ̀yin kò ní sin ọba Babeli.’
10 for they prophesy a lie unto you, to remove you far from your land; and that I should drive you out and ye should perish.
Wọ́n ń sọ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ irọ́ fún un yín èyí tí yóò mú u yín jìnnà réré kúrò ní ilẹ̀ yín; kí Èmi kí ó lè lé yín jáde, kí ẹ̀yin ó sì ṣègbé.
11 But the nation that shall bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, that nation will I let remain in their own land, saith the LORD; and they shall till it, and dwell therein.'
Ṣùgbọ́n bí orílẹ̀-èdè kankan bá tẹ orí rẹ̀ ba lábẹ́ àjàgà ọba Babeli, tí ó sì sìn ín, Èmi yóò jẹ́ kí orílẹ̀-èdè náà wà lórí ilẹ̀ rẹ̀ láti máa ro ó, àti láti máa gbé ibẹ̀ ni Olúwa wí.”’”
12 And I spoke to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying: 'Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.
Èmi sì sọ ọ̀rọ̀ náà fún Sedekiah ọba Juda wí pé: “Tẹ orí rẹ ba lábẹ́ àjàgà ọba Babeli, sìn ín ìwọ àti àwọn ènìyàn rẹ, ìwọ yóò sì yè.
13 Why will ye die, thou and thy people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as the LORD hath spoken concerning the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?
Kí ló dé tí ìwọ àti àwọn ènìyàn rẹ yóò ṣe kú nípa idà, ìyàn àti àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn, èyí tí Olúwa fi ń halẹ̀ mọ́ àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí kò bá sin ọba Babeli?
14 And hearken not unto the words of the prophets that speak unto you, saying: Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon, for they prophesy a lie unto you.
Ẹ má ṣe fetísílẹ̀ sí ọ̀rọ̀ àwọn wòlíì tí ó ń sọ wí pé, ‘Ẹ̀yin kò ní sin ọba Babeli,’ nítorí pé àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ èké ni wọ́n ń sọ fún un yín.
15 For I have not sent them, saith the LORD, and they prophesy falsely in My name; that I might drive you out, and that ye might perish, ye, and the prophets that prophesy unto you.'
‘Èmi kò rán wọn ni Olúwa wí. Wọ́n ń sọ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ èké ní orúkọ mi. Nítorí náà, Èmi yóò lé wọn, wọn yóò sì ṣègbé, ẹ̀yin pẹ̀lú àwọn wòlíì tí ó ń sọ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ fún un yín.’”
16 Also I spoke to the priests and to all this people, saying: 'Thus saith the LORD: Hearken not to the words of your prophets that prophesy unto you, saying: Behold, the vessels of the LORD'S house shall now shortly be brought back from Babylon; for they prophesy a lie unto you.
Nígbà náà ni mo sọ fún àwọn àlùfáà àti gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn náà wí pé, “Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa sọ, ẹ má ṣe fetí sí nǹkan tí àwọn wòlíì ń sọ pé, ‘Láìpẹ́ ohun èlò ilé Olúwa ni a ó kó padà láti Babeli,’ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ èké ni wọ́n ń sọ. Ẹ má tẹ́tí sí wọn.
17 Hearken not unto them; serve the king of Babylon, and live; wherefore should this city become desolate?
Má ṣe tẹ́tí sí wọn, ẹ máa sin ọba Babeli, ẹ̀yin yóò sì yè. Èéṣe tí ìlú yóò fi di ahoro?
18 But if they be prophets, and if the word of the LORD be with them, let them now make intercession to the LORD of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of the LORD, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, go not to Babylon.
Tí wọ́n bá jẹ́ wòlíì, tí wọ́n sì ní ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa, jẹ́ kí wọ́n bẹ Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun kí a má ṣe kó ohun èlò tí ó kù ní ilé Olúwa àti ní ààfin ọba Juda àti Jerusalẹmu lọ sí Babeli.
19 For thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the residue of the vessels that remain in this city,
Nítorí pé, èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun sọ nípa àwọn opó, omi Òkun ní ti ìpilẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àti ní ti ohun èlò ìyókù tí ó kù ní ìlú náà.
20 which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took not, when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem;
Èyí tí Nebukadnessari ọba Babeli kò kó lọ nígbà tí ó mú Jekoniah ọmọ Jehoiakimu ọba Juda lọ sí ìgbèkùn láti Jerusalẹmu lọ sí Babeli, pẹ̀lú àwọn ọlọ́lá Juda àti Jerusalẹmu.
21 yea, thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that remain in the house of the LORD, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem:
Lóòótọ́, èyí ni ọ̀rọ̀ tí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí nípa àwọn ohun ìṣúra tí ó ṣẹ́kù ní ilé Olúwa àti ní ààfin ọba Juda àti ní Jerusalẹmu:
22 They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be, until the day that I remember them, saith the LORD, and bring them up, and restore them to this place.'
‘A ó mú wọn lọ sí ilẹ̀ Babeli, ní ibẹ̀ ni wọn ó sì wà títí di ìgbà tí mo bá padà,’ èyí ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa. ‘Lẹ́yìn èyí, Èmi yóò mú wọn padà, Èmi yóò sì ṣe wọ́n lọ́jọ̀ ní ibí yìí.’”
