Jeremiah 3

1 “Saying, Behold, one sends his wife away, And she has gone from him, And she has been to another man, Does he return to her again? Is that land not greatly defiled? And you have committed whoredom with many lovers, And turn to Me again,” A declaration of YHWH.

“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 your eyes to the high places, and see, Where have you not been lain with? You have sat for them on the ways, As an Arab in a wilderness, And you defile the land, By your fornications, and by 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 showers are withheld, and there has been no spring rain. You have the forehead of a whorish woman, You have refused to be ashamed.

4 Have you not from now on called to Me, My Father, You [are] the leader of my youth?

Ǹjẹ́ ìwọ kò ha a pè mí láìpẹ́ yìí pé, ‘Baba mi, ìwọ ọ̀rẹ́ mi láti ìgbà èwe mi.

5 Does He keep for all time? Watch forever? Behold, you have spoken these things, And you do evil, and prevail.”

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 YHWH says to me, in the days of Josiah the king, “Have you seen that which backsliding Israel has done? She is going on every high mountain, and to the place of every green tree, and commits 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 say, after her doing all these, Return to Me, and she has not returned, and her treacherous sister Judah sees it.

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 see that for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery, I have sent her away, and I give the bill of her divorce to her; and her treacherous sister Judah has not feared, and goes and commits fornication—she also.

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 it has come to pass, from the vileness of her fornication, that the land is defiled, and she commits fornication with stone and with wood.

Nítorí ìwà èérí Israẹli kò jọ ọ́ lójú, ó ti ba ilẹ̀ jẹ́, ó sì ti ṣe àgbèrè pẹ̀lú òkúta àti igi.

10 And even in all this her treacherous sister Judah has not turned back to Me with all her heart, but with falsehood,” a declaration of YHWH.

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 YHWH says to me: “Backsliding Israel has justified herself, More than treacherous Judah.

Olúwa wí fún mi pé, “Israẹli aláìnígbàgbọ́ ṣe òdodo ju Juda tí ó ní ìgbàgbọ́ lọ.

12 Go, and you have proclaimed these words toward the north, and have said, Return, O backsliding Israel,” A declaration of YHWH! “I do not cause My anger to fall on you, for I [am] kind,” A declaration of YHWH, “I do not watch for all time.

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 Only, know your iniquity, For you have transgressed against your God YHWH, And you scatter your ways to strangers, Under every green tree, And you have not listened to My voice,” A declaration of YHWH.

14 “Return, O backsliding sons,” A declaration of YHWH. “For I have ruled over you, And taken you—one from a city, and two from a family, And have brought you to Zion,

“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 have given shepherds to you According to My own heart, And they have fed you with knowledge and understanding.

16 And it has come to pass, when you are multiplied, And have been fruitful in the land, In those days,” A declaration of YHWH, “They no longer say, The Ark of the Covenant of YHWH, Nor does it go up on the heart, Nor do they remember concerning it, Nor do they inspect, nor is it made again.

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 At that time they cry to Jerusalem, O throne of YHWH, And all the nations have been gathered to her, For the Name of YHWH, to Jerusalem, Nor do they go after the stubbornness of their evil heart anymore.

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 Judah Goes to the house of Israel, And they come together from the land of the south, To the land that I caused your 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 have said, How do I put you among the sons, And give a desirable land to you, A beautiful inheritance of the hosts of nations, And I say, You call Me—My Father, And you do not turn back from after 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 a woman has deceived her friend, So you have dealt treacherously with Me, O house of Israel,” A declaration of YHWH.

Ṣùgbọ́n gẹ́gẹ́ bí aláìgbàgbọ́ obìnrin sí ọkọ rẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ o jẹ́ aláìgbàgbọ́ sí mi. Ìwọ ilé Israẹli,” ni Olúwa wí.

21 A voice is heard on high places—weeping, Supplications of the sons of Israel, For they have made their way perverse, They have forgotten their God YHWH.

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 “Return, O backsliding sons, I cause your backslidings to cease.” “Behold us, we have come to You, For You [are] our God YHWH.

“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 Surely in vain—from the heights, The multitude of mountains—Surely the salvation of Israel [is] in our God YHWH.

24 And the shameful thing has devoured The labor of our fathers from our youth, Their flock and their herd, Their sons and their daughters.

25 We have lain down in our shame, and our confusion covers us, For we have sinned against our God YHWH, We, and our fathers, from our youth even to this day, Nor have we listened to the voice of our God YHWH!”
