Jeremiah 13
1 Thus says the LORD to me, "Go, and buy yourself a linen belt, and put it on your waist, and do not put it in water."
Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí fún mi: “Lọ kí o sì ra àmùrè aṣọ ọ̀gbọ̀, kí o sì dì í mọ́ ẹ̀gbẹ́ rẹ, kí o má sì ṣe jẹ́ kí omi kí ó kàn án.”
2 So I bought a belt according to the word of the LORD, and put it on my waist.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni mo ra àmùrè gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti wí, mo sì dì í mọ́ ẹ̀gbẹ́ mi.
3 The word of the LORD came to me the second time, saying,
Nígbà náà ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá nígbà kejì,
4 "Take the belt that you have bought, which is on your waist, and arise, go to the Perath, and hide it there in a cleft of the rock."
“Mú àmùrè tí o rà, kí o sì fiwé ẹ̀gbẹ́ rẹ, kí o sì lọ sí Perati, kí o lọ pa á mọ́ sí pàlàpálá òkúta.”
5 So I went, and hid it by the Perath, as the LORD commanded me.
Nígbà náà ni mo lọ pa á mọ́ ní Perati gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti wí fún mi.
6 It happened after many days, that the LORD said to me, "Arise, go to the Perath, and take the belt from there, which I commanded you to hide there."
Lẹ́yìn ọjọ́ díẹ̀, Olúwa sọ fún mi, “Lọ sí Perati kí o lọ mú àmùrè tí mo ní kí o pamọ́ síbẹ̀.”
7 Then I went to the Perath, and dug, and took the belt from the place where I had hidden it; and look, the belt was marred, it was profitable for nothing.
Nígbà náà ni mo lọ sí Perati mo lọ wá àmùrè mi níbi tí mo pa á mọ́ sí, ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí àmùrè náà ti bàjẹ́, kò sì wúlò fún ohunkóhun mọ́.
8 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Nígbà náà ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá pé:
9 "Thus says the LORD, 'In this way I will mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem.
“Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa sọ: ‘Bákan náà ni èmi yóò run ìgbéraga Juda àti ìgbéraga ńlá ti Jerusalẹmu.
10 This evil people, who refuse to hear my words, who walk in the stubbornness of their heart, and are gone after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this belt, which is profitable for nothing.
Àwọn ènìyàn búburú tí ó kùnà láti gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ mi, tí wọ́n ń lo agídí ọkàn wọn, tí ó sì ń rìn tọ àwọn òrìṣà láti sìn wọ́n, àti láti foríbalẹ̀ fún wọn, yóò sì dàbí àmùrè yìí tí kò wúlò fún ohunkóhun.
11 For as the belt clings to the waist of a man, so have I caused to cling to me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah,' says the LORD; 'that they might be my people, for a name, for praise, and for glory. But they would not listen.
Nítorí bí a ti lẹ àmùrè mọ́ ẹ̀gbẹ́ ènìyàn, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a lẹ agbo ilé Israẹli àti gbogbo ilé Juda mọ́ mi,’ ni Olúwa wí, ‘kí wọn kí ó lè jẹ́ ènìyàn ògo àti ìyìn fún mi, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò fẹ́ gbọ́.’
12 Therefore you shall speak to them this word: 'Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, "Every jar shall be filled with wine."' And if they shall say to you, 'Do we not certainly know that every jar shall be filled with wine?'
“Sọ fún wọn, ‘Èyí ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run àwọn ọmọ Israẹli wí, gbogbo ìgò ni à ó fi ọtí wáìnì kún.’ Bí wọ́n bá sì sọ fún ọ pé, ‘Ṣé a kò mọ̀ pé gbogbo ìgò ni ó yẹ láti bu ọtí wáìnì kún?’
13 Then you shall tell them, 'Thus says the LORD, "Look, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, even the kings who sit on David's throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with drunkenness.
Nítorí náà sọ fún wọn pé, ‘Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí: Èmi yóò fi ìmutípara kún gbogbo olùgbé ilẹ̀ yìí pẹ̀lú ọba tí ó jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ Dafidi, àwọn àlùfáà, àwọn wòlíì gbogbo àwọn tó ń gbé ní Jerusalẹmu.
14 I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, says the LORD. I will not pity, nor spare, nor have compassion, that I should not destroy them."'"
Èmi yóò ti èkínní lu èkejì, àwọn baba àti ọmọkùnrin pọ̀ ni Olúwa wí. Èmi kì yóò dáríjì, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi kì yóò ṣàánú, èmi kì yóò ṣe ìyọ́nú láti máa pa wọ́n run.’”
15 "Hear, and give ear; do not be proud; for the LORD has spoken.
Gbọ́ kí o sì fetísílẹ̀, ẹ má ṣe gbéraga, nítorí Olúwa ti sọ̀rọ̀.
16 Give glory to the LORD your God, before he causes darkness, and before your feet stumble on the dark mountains, and, while you look for light, he turns it into the shadow of death, and makes it gross darkness.
Ẹ fi ògo fún Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, kí ó tó mú òkùnkùn wá, àti kí ó tó mú ẹsẹ̀ yín tàsé lórí òkè tí ó ṣókùnkùn. Nígbà tí ẹ̀yin sì ń retí ìmọ́lẹ̀, òun yóò sọ ọ́ di òjìji yóò sì ṣe bi òkùnkùn biribiri.
17 But if you will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret for your pride; and my eye shall weep bitterly, and run down with tears, because the LORD's flock is taken captive."
Ṣùgbọ́n bí ẹ̀yin kò bá fetísílẹ̀, Èmi yóò sọkún ní ìkọ̀kọ̀ nítorí ìgbéraga yín. Ojú mi yóò sun ẹkún kíkorò, tí omi ẹkún, yóò sì máa sàn jáde, nítorí a kó agbo Olúwa lọ ìgbèkùn.
18 "Say to the king and to the queen mother, 'Take a lowly seat, for your glorious crowns have come down from your heads.
Sọ fún ọba àti ayaba pé, “Ẹ rẹ ara yín sílẹ̀, ẹ sọ̀kalẹ̀ láti orí ìtẹ́ yín, adé ògo yín bọ́ sí ilẹ̀ láti orí yín.”
19 The cities toward the Negev are shut, and there is no one to open them: Judah is carried away into exile, all of it; it is wholly carried away into exile.'"
Àwọn ìlú tí ó wà ní gúúsù ni à ó tì pa, kò sì ní sí ẹnikẹ́ni láti ṣí wọn. Gbogbo Juda ni a ó kó lọ sí ilẹ̀ ìgbèkùn, gbogbo wọn ni a ó kó lọ ní ìgbèkùn pátápátá.
20 "Lift up your eyes, and see those who come from the north: where is the flock that was given you, your beautiful flock?
Gbé ojú rẹ sókè, kí o sì wo àwọn tí ó ń bọ̀ láti àríwá. Níbo ni agbo ẹran tí a fi sí abẹ́ àkóso rẹ wà; àgùntàn tí ò ń mú yangàn.
21 What will you say, when he shall set over you as head those whom you have yourself taught to be friends to you? Shall not sorrows take hold of you, as of a woman in travail?
Kí ni ìwọ yóò wí nígbà tí Olúwa bá dúró lórí rẹ àwọn tí o mú bí ọ̀rẹ́ àtàtà. Ǹjẹ́ kò ní jẹ́ ìrora fún ọ bí aboyún tó ń rọbí?
22 If you say in your heart, 'Why are these things come on me?' for the greatness of your iniquity are your skirts uncovered, and your heels suffer violence.
Tí o bá sì bi ara rẹ léèrè, “Kí ni ìdí rẹ̀ tí èyí fi ṣẹlẹ̀ sí mi?” Ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ tí o ṣẹ̀ ni aṣọ rẹ fi fàya tí a sì ṣe é ní ìṣekúṣe.
23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? Then may you also do good, who are accustomed to do evil.
Ǹjẹ́ Etiopia le yí àwọ̀ rẹ̀ padà? Tàbí ẹkùn lè yí àwọ̀ rẹ̀ padà? Bí èyí kò ti lè rí bẹ́ẹ̀ náà ni ẹ̀yin tí ìwà búburú bá ti mọ́ lára kò lè ṣe rere.
24 'therefore I will scatter them, as the stubble that passes away, by the wind of the wilderness.
“N ó fọ́n ọn yín ká bí i ìyàngbò tí ẹ̀fúùfù ilẹ̀ aṣálẹ̀ ń fẹ́.
25 This is your lot, the portion measured to you from me,' says the LORD; 'because you have forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood.
Èyí ni ìpín tìrẹ; tí mo ti fi sílẹ̀ fún ọ,” ni Olúwa wí, “Nítorí ìwọ ti gbàgbé mi o sì gbẹ́kẹ̀lé àwọn ọlọ́run àjèjì.
26 therefore I will also uncover your skirts on your face, and your shame shall appear.
N ó sí aṣọ lójú rẹ, kí ẹ̀sín rẹ le hàn síta—
27 I have seen your abominations, even your adulteries, and your neighing, the lewdness of your prostitution, on the hills in the field. Woe to you, Jerusalem. You will not be made clean; how long shall it yet be?'"
