Jeremias 3
1 If a man put away his wife, and she depart from him, and become another man's, shall she return to him any more at all? shall not that woman be utterly defiled? you you have gone a-whoring with many shepherds, and have returned to me, says the Lord.
“Bí ọkùnrin kan bá sì kọ ìyàwó rẹ̀ sílẹ̀ tí obìnrin náà sì lọ fẹ́ ọkọ mìíràn, ǹjẹ́ ọkùnrin náà tún lè tọ̀ ọ́ wá? Ǹjẹ́ ilẹ̀ náà kò ní di aláìmọ́ bí? Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ ti gbé pẹ̀lú onírúurú panṣágà gẹ́gẹ́ bí olùfẹ́, ṣé ìwọ yóò tún padà sọ́dọ̀ mi bí?” ni Olúwa wí.
2 Lift up your eyes [to look] straight forward, and see where you have not been utterly defiled. You have sat for them by the wayside as a deserted crow, and have defiled the land with your fornications and your wickedness.
“Gbé ojú rẹ sókè sí ibi gíga wọ̀n-ọn-nì, kí o sì wò ó ibi kan ha wà tí a kò bà ọ́ jẹ́? Ní ojú ọ̀nà, ìwọ jókòó de àwọn olólùfẹ́, bí i ará Arabia kan nínú aginjù, ìwọ sì ti ba ilẹ̀ náà jẹ́ pẹ̀lú ìwà àgbèrè àti ìwà búburú rẹ.
3 And you did retain many shepherds for a stumbling block to yourself: you had a whore's face, you did become shameless toward all.
Nítorí náà, a ti fa ọ̀wààrà òjò sẹ́yìn, kò sì ṣí òjò àrọ̀kúrò. Síbẹ̀ ìwọ ní ojú líle ti panṣágà, ìwọ sì kọ̀ láti ní ìtìjú.
4 Hast you not called me as it were a home, and the father and guide of your virgin-time?
Ǹjẹ́ ìwọ kò ha a pè mí láìpẹ́ yìí pé, ‘Baba mi, ìwọ ọ̀rẹ́ mi láti ìgbà èwe mi.
5 Will [God's anger] continue for ever, or be preserved to the end? Behold, you have spoken and done these bad things, and had power [to do them].
Ìwọ yóò ha máa bínú títí? Ìbínú rẹ yóò ha máa lọ títí láé?’ Báyìí ni o ṣe ń sọ̀rọ̀ ìwọ ṣe gbogbo ibi tí ìwọ le ṣe.”
6 And the Lord said to me in the days of Josias the king, Hast you seen what things the house of Israel has done to me? they have gone on every high mountain, and under every shady tree, and have committed fornication there.
Ní àkókò ìjọba Josiah ọba, Olúwa wí fún mi pé, “Ṣé o ti rí nǹkan tí àwọn Israẹli aláìnígbàgbọ́ ti ṣe? Wọ́n ti lọ sí àwọn òkè gíga àti sí abẹ́ àwọn igi, wọ́n sì ti ṣe àgbèrè níbẹ̀.
7 And I said after she had committed all these acts of fornication, Turn again to me. Yet she returned not. And faithless Juda saw her faithlessness.
Mo rò pé nígbà tí wọ́n ti ṣe èyí wọn yóò padà, wọn kò padà, Juda aláìgbàgbọ́ arábìnrin rẹ̀ náà sì rí i.
8 And I saw that (for all the sins of which she was convicted, wherein the house of Israel committed adultery, and I put her away, and gave into her hands a bill of divorcement, ) yet faithless Juda feared not, but went and herself also committed fornication.
Mo fún Israẹli aláìnígbàgbọ́ ní ìwé ìkọ̀sílẹ̀, mo sì ké wọn kúrò nítorí gbogbo àgbèrè wọn. Síbẹ̀ mo rí pé Juda tí ó jẹ́ arábìnrin rẹ̀ kò bẹ̀rù, òun náà sì jáde lọ láti lọ ṣe àgbèrè.
9 And her fornication was nothing accounted of; and she committed adultery with wood and stone.
Nítorí ìwà èérí Israẹli kò jọ ọ́ lójú, ó ti ba ilẹ̀ jẹ́, ó sì ti ṣe àgbèrè pẹ̀lú òkúta àti igi.
10 And for all these things faithless Juda turned not to me with all her heart, but falsely.
Látàrí gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí Juda arábìnrin rẹ̀ aláìgbàgbọ́ kò padà tọ̀ mí wá pẹ̀lú gbogbo ọkàn rẹ̀, bí kò ṣe nípa fífarahàn bí olóòtítọ́,” ni Olúwa wí.
11 And the Lord said to me, Israel has justified himself more than faithless Juda.
Olúwa wí fún mi pé, “Israẹli aláìnígbàgbọ́ ṣe òdodo ju Juda tí ó ní ìgbàgbọ́ lọ.
12 Go and read these words toward the north, and you shall say, Return to me, O house of Israel, says the Lord; and I will not set my face against you: for I am merciful, says the Lord, and I will not be angry with you for ever.
Lọ polongo ọ̀rọ̀ náà, lọ sí ìhà àríwá: “‘Yípadà, Israẹli aláìnígbàgbọ́,’ ni Olúwa wí. ‘Ojú mi kì yóò korò sí ọ mọ́, nítorí mo jẹ́ aláàánú, ni Olúwa wí. Èmi kì yóò sì bínú mọ́ títí láé.
13 Nevertheless, know your iniquity, that you have sinned against the Lord your God, and have scattered your ways to strangers under every shady tree, but you did not listen to my voice, says the Lord.
Sá à ti mọ ẹ̀bi rẹ, ìwọ ti ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ, ìwọ ti wá ojúrere rẹ lọ́dọ̀ ọlọ́run àjèjì lábẹ́ gbogbo igikígi tí ó gbilẹ̀, ẹ̀yin kò gba ohun mi gbọ́,’” ni Olúwa wí.
14 Turn, you children that have revolted, says the Lord; for I will rule over you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you in to Sion:
“Padà, ẹ̀yin ènìyàn aláìnígbàgbọ́,” ni Olúwa wí, “nítorí èmi ni ọkọ rẹ. Èmi ó yàn ọ́, ọ̀kan láti ìlú àti méjì láti ẹ̀yà. Èmi ó sì mú ọ wá sí Sioni.
15 and I will give you shepherds after my heart, and they shall certainly tend you with knowledge.
Lẹ́yìn èyí, èmi ó fún ọ ní àwọn olùṣọ́-àgùntàn láti inú ọkàn mi, tí wọn yóò ṣáájú yín pẹ̀lú òye àti ìmọ̀.
16 And it shall come to pass that when you are multiplied and increased upon the land, says the Lord, in those days they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the Holy One of Israel: it shall not come to mind; it shall not be named; neither shall it be visited; nor shall [this] be done any more.
Ní ọjọ́ wọ̀n-ọn-nì, tí ẹ̀yin bá pọ̀ sí i lórí ilẹ̀ náà,” ni Olúwa wí, “àwọn ènìyàn kò tún lè sọ pé, ‘Àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa.’ Kò ní wá sí ìrántí wọn mọ́, a kì yóò pàdánù rẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a kì yóò sì tún kan òmíràn mọ́.
17 In those days and at that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the Lord; and all the nations shall be gathered to it: and they shall not walk any more after the imaginations of their evil heart.
Ní ìgbà náà, wọn yóò pe Jerusalẹmu ní ìtẹ́ Olúwa gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè yóò péjọ sí Jerusalẹmu láti bọ̀wọ̀ fún orúkọ Olúwa, wọn kì yóò sì tún tẹ̀lé àyà líle búburú wọn mọ́.
18 In those days the house of Juda, shall come together to the house of Israel, and they shall come, together, from the land of the north, and from all the countries, to the land, which I caused their fathers to inherit.
Ní ọjọ́ wọ̀n-ọn-nì ni ilé Juda yóò darapọ̀ mọ́ ilé Israẹli. Wọn yóò sì wá láti ilẹ̀ àríwá wá sí ilẹ̀ tí mo fi fún àwọn baba ńlá yín gẹ́gẹ́ bí ilẹ̀ ìní.
19 And I said, So be it, Lord, for [you said] I will set you among children, and will give you a choice land, the inheritance of the Almighty God of the Gentiles: and I said, You shall call me Father; and you shall not turn away from me.
“Èmi fúnra mi sọ wí pé, “‘Báwo ni inú mi yóò ti dùn tó, kí èmi kí ó tọ́ ọ bí ọmọkùnrin kí n sì fún ọ ní ilẹ̀ tí ó tó.’ Mo rò pé ìwọ yóò pè mí ní ‘Baba mi’ o kò sì ní ṣàì tọ̀ mí lẹ́yìn.
20 But as a wife acts treacherously against her husband, so has the house of Israel dealt treacherously against me, says the Lord.
Ṣùgbọ́n gẹ́gẹ́ bí aláìgbàgbọ́ obìnrin sí ọkọ rẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ o jẹ́ aláìgbàgbọ́ sí mi. Ìwọ ilé Israẹli,” ni Olúwa wí.
21 A voice from the lips was heard, [even] of weeping and supplication of the children of Israel: for they have dealt unrighteously in their ways, they have forgotten God their Holy One.
A gbọ́ ohùn àgàn láti ibi gíga, ẹkún àti ẹ̀bẹ̀ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, nítorí wọ́n ti yí ọ̀nà wọn po, wọ́n sì ti gbàgbé Olúwa Ọlọ́run wọn.
22 Turn, you children that are given to turning, and I will heal your bruises. Behold, we will be your servants; for you are the Lord our God.
“Padà, ẹ̀yin ènìyàn aláìnígbàgbọ́, Èmi ó wo ìpadàsẹ́yìn kúrò ní ọ̀nà títọ́ rẹ sàn.” “Bẹ́ẹ̀, ni a ó wá sọ́dọ̀ rẹ nítorí ìwọ ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa.
23 Truly the hills and the strength of the mountains were a lying refuge: but by the Lord our God is the salvation of Israel.
Nítòótọ́, asán ni ìbọ̀rìṣà àti ìrúkèrúdò tí ó wà ní àwọn orí òkè kéékèèké àti àwọn òkè gíga, nítòótọ́, nínú Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa ni ìgbàlà Israẹli wà.
24 But shame has consumed the labors of our fathers from our youth; their sheep and their calves, and their sons and their daughters.
Láti ìgbà èwe wa ni àwọn òrìṣà ìtìjú ti jẹ èso iṣẹ́ àwọn baba wa run, ọ̀wọ́ ẹran wọn àti agbo ẹran wọn, ọmọkùnrin àti ọmọbìnrin wọn.
25 We have lain down in our shame, and our disgrace has covered us: because we and our fathers have sinned before our God, from our youth until this day; and we have not listened to the voice of the Lord our God.
Jẹ́ kí a dùbúlẹ̀ nínú ìtìjú wa, kí ìtìjú wa bò wá mọ́lẹ̀. A ti ṣẹ̀ sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa, àwa àti àwọn baba wa, láti ìgbà èwe wa títí di òní a kò gbọ́rọ̀ sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa.”
