Jeremiah 7
1 The word that has been to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying,
Èyí ni ọ̀rọ̀ tó tọ Jeremiah wá láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa.
2 “Stand in the gate of the house of YHWH, and you have proclaimed this word there, and have said, Hear a word of YHWH, all you of Judah, who are coming in at these gates, to bow before YHWH.”
“Dúró ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà ilé Olúwa kí o sì kéde ọ̀rọ̀ yí: “‘Ẹ gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa gbogbo ẹ̀yin ará Juda tí ń gba ọ̀nà yí wọlé láti wá sin Olúwa.
3 Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: “Amend your ways, and your doings, And I cause you to dwell in this place.
Èyí ni ọ̀rọ̀ tí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí: Tún àwọn ọ̀nà yín ṣe, èmi yóò sì jẹ́ kí ẹ gbé ilẹ̀ yìí.
4 Do not trust for yourselves To the words of falsehood, saying, The temple of YHWH! The temple of YHWH! These [are] the temple of YHWH!
Má ṣe gba ọ̀rọ̀ ẹ̀tàn gbọ́ kí ẹ sì wí pé, “Èyí ni tẹmpili Olúwa ilé tẹmpili Olúwa, ilé tẹmpili Olúwa!”
5 For if you thoroughly amend your ways and your doings, If you thoroughly do judgment Between a man and his neighbor,
Bí ẹ̀yin bá tún ọ̀nà yín àti iṣẹ́ yín ṣe nítòótọ́, tí ẹ sì ń bá ara yín lò ní ọ̀nà tó tọ́.
6 You do not oppress sojourner, fatherless, and widow, And innocent blood is not shed in this place, And [you] do not walk after other gods, for evil to yourselves,
Bí ẹ kò bá fi ara ni àwọn àlejò, àwọn ọmọ aláìní baba àti àwọn opó tí ẹ kò sì ta ẹ̀jẹ̀ aláìṣẹ̀ sílẹ̀ ní ibí yìí, bí ẹ kò bá sì tọ ọlọ́run mìíràn lẹ́yìn sí ìpalára ara yín.
7 Then I have caused you to dwell in this place, In the land that I gave to your fathers, From age even to age.
Nígbà náà ni èmi yóò jẹ́ kí ẹ gbé ìbí yìí, nílẹ̀ tí mo fún àwọn baba ńlá yín títí láé.
8 Behold, you are trusting for yourselves On the words of falsehood, so as not to profit.
Ẹ wò ó, ẹ ń gba ọ̀rọ̀ ẹ̀tàn tí kò níláárí gbọ́.
9 Stealing, murdering, and committing adultery, And swearing to falsehood, and giving incense to Ba‘al, And going after other gods whom you did not know.
“‘Ẹ̀yin yóò ha jalè, kí ẹ pànìyàn, kí ẹ ṣe panṣágà, kí ẹ búra èké, kí ẹ sun tùràrí sí Baali, kí ẹ sì tọ ọlọ́run mìíràn tí ẹ̀yin kò mọ̀ lọ?
10 And you have come in and stood before Me, In this house on which My Name is called, And have said, We have been delivered, In order to do all these abominations.
Nígbà náà ni kí ó wá dúró ní iwájú nínú ilé yìí tí a fi orúkọ mi pè, “Kí ẹ wá wí pé àwa yè,” àwa yè láti ṣe gbogbo àwọn nǹkan ìríra wọ̀nyí bí?
11 Has this house, On which My Name is called, Been a den of burglars in your eyes? Even I, behold, have seen,” A declaration of YHWH.
Ṣé ilé yìí, tí a fi orúkọ mi pè ti di ihò àwọn ọlọ́ṣà lọ́dọ̀ yín ni? Èmi ti ń wò ó! ni Olúwa wí.
12 “But go now to My place that [is] in Shiloh, Where I caused My Name to dwell at first, And see that which I have done to it, For the wickedess of My people Israel.
“‘Ẹ lọ nísinsin yìí sí Ṣilo níbi ti mo kọ́ fi ṣe ibùgbé fún orúkọ mi, kí ẹ sì rí ohun tí mo ṣe sí i nítorí ìwà búburú Israẹli tí í ṣe ènìyàn mi.
13 And now, because of your doing all these works,” A declaration of YHWH, “And I speak to you, rising early and speaking, And you have not listened, And I call you, and you have not answered,
Nígbà tí ẹ̀yin ń ṣe àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí ni èmi bá a yín sọ̀rọ̀ léraléra ni Olúwa wí ẹ̀yin kò gbọ́, èmi pè yín, ẹ̀yin kò dáhùn.
14 I also have done to the house on which My Name is called, In which you are trusting, And to the place that I gave to you, and to your fathers, As I have done to Shiloh.
Nítorí náà, èmi yóò ṣe ohun tí mo ṣe sí Ṣilo sí ilé náà tí a fi orúkọ mi pè, ilé tẹmpili nínú èyí tí ẹ ní ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé, ààyè tí mo fún ẹ̀yin àti àwọn baba yín.
15 And I have cast you from before My face, As I have cast out all your brothers, The whole seed of Ephraim.
Èmi yóò tú kúrò ní iwájú mi gẹ́gẹ́ bí mo ti ṣe sí àwọn arákùnrin yín, àwọn ará Efraimu.’
16 And you do not pray for this people, Nor lift up crying and prayer for them, Nor intercede with Me, for I do not hear you.
“Nítorí náà má ṣe gbàdúrà fún àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí tàbí kí o bẹ̀bẹ̀ fún wọn; ma ṣe bẹ̀ mí, nítorí èmi kì yóò tẹ́tí sí ọ.
17 Are you not seeing what they are doing In cities of Judah, and in streets of Jerusalem?
Ṣé ìwọ kò rí ohun tí wọ́n ń ṣe ní àwọn ìlú Juda àti ní òpópó Jerusalẹmu?
18 The sons are gathering wood, And the fathers are causing the fire to burn, And the women are kneading dough, To make cakes to the queen of the heavens, And to pour out drink-offerings to other gods, So as to provoke Me to anger.
Àwọn ọmọ ṣa igi jọ, àwọn baba fi iná sí i, àwọn ìyá sì po ìyẹ̀fun láti ṣe àkàrà fún ayaba ọ̀run, wọ́n tú ẹbọ ọrẹ mímu sí àwọn ọlọ́run àjèjì láti ru bínú mi sókè.
19 Are they provoking Me to anger?” A declaration of YHWH, “Is it not themselves, For the shame of their own faces?”
Ṣùgbọ́n ṣe èmi ni wọ́n fẹ́ mú bínú? ni Olúwa wí. Ǹjẹ́ kì í ṣe pé wọ́n kúkú ń pa ara wọn lára sí ìtìjú ara wọn?
20 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: “Behold, My anger and My fury is poured out on this place, On man, and beast, and on tree of the field, And on fruit of the ground, And it has burned, and it is not quenched.”
“‘Nítorí náà, èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa Olódùmarè wí, “Èmi yóò tú ìbínú àti ìrunú mi sí orílẹ̀ yìí ènìyàn àti ẹranko, igi, pápá àti èso orí ilẹ̀, yóò sì jó tí kò ní ṣe é pa.”
21 Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: “Add your burnt-offerings to your sacrifices and eat flesh.
“‘Èyí ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run àwọn ọmọ-ogun, Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí: Tẹ̀síwájú kí ẹ kó ẹbọ sísun yín àti àwọn ẹbọ yòókù papọ̀ kí ẹ̀yin kí ó sì jẹ ẹran wọ́n fúnra yín.
22 For I did not speak with your fathers, Nor did I command them in the day of My bringing them out of the land of Egypt, Concerning the matters of burnt-offering and sacrifice,
Ní tòsí nígbà tí mo mú àwọn baba ńlá yín jáde kúrò ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti tí mo sì bá wọn sọ̀rọ̀. N kò pàṣẹ fún wọn lórí ẹbọ sísun lásán.
23 But this thing I commanded them, saying, Listen to My voice, And I have been to you for God, And you are to Me for a people, And have walked in all the way that I command you, So that it is well for you.
Mo pàṣẹ fún wọn báyìí pé; gbọ́ tèmi, èmi yóò sì jẹ́ Ọlọ́run yín ẹ̀yin yóò sì jẹ́ ènìyàn mi. Máa rìn ní ojú ọ̀nà tí mo pàṣẹ fún yín, kí ó lè dára fún yín.
24 And they have not listened, nor inclined their ear, And they walk in the counsels, [And] in the stubbornness, of their evil hearts, And are backward and not forward.
Ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò gbọ́, wọn kò sì fetísílẹ̀ dípò èyí wọ́n ń tẹ̀ sí ọ̀nà agídí ọkàn wọn. Dípò kí wọn tẹ̀síwájú wọ́n ń rẹ̀yìn.
25 Even from the day when your fathers Went out of the land of Egypt until this day, I send all My servants the prophets to you, Daily rising early and sending,
Láti ìgbà tí àwọn baba ńlá yín ti jáde ní Ejibiti títí di òní, ni èmi ti ń rán àwọn ìránṣẹ́ mi, àwọn wòlíì sí yín.
26 And they have not listened to Me, Nor inclined their ear—and they harden their neck, They have done evil above their fathers.
Wọn kò gbọ́ wọn kò sì fetísílẹ̀. Wọ́n wa ọrùn le, wọn wa ọrùn kì, wọ́n sì hu ìwà ìbàjẹ́ ju àwọn baba ńlá wọn.’
27 And you have spoken all these words to them, And they do not listen to you, And you have called to them, And they do not answer you.
“Nígbà tí ìwọ bá sọ gbogbo èyí fún wọn, wọn kì yóò gbọ́ tirẹ̀, nígbà tí ìwọ bá sì pè wọ́n, wọn kì yóò dáhùn.
28 And you have said to them: This [is] the nation that has not listened, To the voice of its God YHWH, Nor have they accepted instruction, Steadfastness has perished, Indeed, it has been cut off from their mouth.
Nítorí náà, sọ fún wọn pé, ‘Èyí ni orílẹ̀-èdè tí kò gbọ́ ti Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ̀ tàbí kí ó ṣe ìgbọ́ràn sí ìbáwí. Ọ̀rọ̀ òtítọ́ kò sí ní ètè wọn.
29 Cut off your crown, and cast [it] away, And lift up lamentation on high places, For YHWH has rejected, And He leaves the generation of His wrath.
“‘Gé irun yín kí ẹ sì dàánù, pohùnréré ẹkún lórí òkè, nítorí Olúwa ti kọ ìran yìí tí ó wà lábẹ́ ìbínú rẹ̀ sílẹ̀.
30 For the sons of Judah Have done evil in My eyes,” A declaration of YHWH, “They have set their abominations in the house On which My Name is called—to defile it,
“‘Àwọn ènìyàn Juda ti ṣe búburú lójú mi, ni Olúwa wí. Wọ́n ti to àwọn ère ìríra wọn jọ sí ilé tí a fi orúkọ mi pè wọ́n sì ti sọ ọ́ di àìmọ́.
31 And have built the high places of Tophet, That [are] in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, To burn their sons and their daughters with fire, Which I did not command, Nor did it come up on My heart.
Wọ́n ti kọ́ àwọn ibi gíga ti Tofeti ní àfonífojì Beni-Hinnomu láti sun àwọn ọmọkùnrin àti ọmọbìnrin wọn nínú iná èyí tí èmi kò pàṣẹ tí kò sì wá sí ọkàn mi.
32 Therefore, behold, days are coming,” A declaration of YHWH, “And it is no longer said, The Tophet, And, Valley of the Son of Hinnom, But, Valley of the Slaughter, And they have buried in Tophet—without place.
Nítorí náà kíyèsára ọjọ́ ń bọ̀, ni Olúwa wí, nígbà tí àwọn ènìyàn kò ní pè é ní Tafeti tàbí àfonífojì ti Beni-Hinnomu; ṣùgbọ́n yóò ma jẹ àfonífojì ìparun, nítorí wọn yóò sin òkú sí Tofeti títí kò fi ní sí ààyè mọ́.
33 And the carcass of this people has been for food To a bird of the heavens, and to a beast of the earth, And there is none troubling.
Nígbà náà ni òkú àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí yóò di oúnjẹ fún àwọn ẹyẹ ojú ọ̀run àti ẹranko ilẹ̀, kò sì ní sí ẹnìkan tí yóò dẹ́rùbà wọ́n.
34 And I have caused to cease from cities of Judah, And from streets of Jerusalem, The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, Voice of bridegroom, and voice of bride, For the land becomes a desolation!”
Èmi yóò mú òpin bá ìró ayọ̀ àti ìdùnnú àti ohùn àwọn tọkọtaya ní àwọn ìlú Juda àti ní ìgboro Jerusalẹmu, nítorí tí ilẹ̀ náà yóò di ahoro.
