Jeremiah 21
1 The word which came unto Jeremiah from Yahweh, —when King Zedekiah sent unto him Pashhur, son of Malchiah, and Zephaniah, son of Maaseiah, the priest, saying:
Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa sì tọ Jeremiah wá nígbà tí ọba Sedekiah rán Paṣuri ọmọ Malkiah àti àlùfáà Sefaniah ọmọ Maaseiah sí i; wọ́n wí pé:
2 Enquire for us I pray thee of Yahweh, in that, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, maketh war against us, —Peradventure Yahweh will deal with us according to all his wonders, so that he go up from us.
“Wádìí lọ́wọ́ Olúwa fún wa nítorí Nebukadnessari ọba Babeli ń kọlù wá. Bóyá Olúwa yóò ṣe ìyanu fún wa gẹ́gẹ́ bí ti àtẹ̀yìnwá, kí ó sì yípadà kúrò lọ́dọ̀ wa.”
3 Then said Jeremiah unto them, —Thus, shall ye say unto Zedekiah:
Ṣùgbọ́n Jeremiah dáhùn wí pé, “Sọ fún Sedekiah,
4 Thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel—Behold me! turning back the weapons of war that are in your hand, wherewith, ye, are fighting the king of Babylon and the Chaldeans, who are besieging you outside the wall, —and I will gather them into the midst of this city.
‘Èyí ni Olúwa, Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí, Èmi fẹ́ kọjú idà tí ó wà lọ́wọ́ yín sí yín, èyí tí ẹ̀ ń lò láti bá ọba àti àwọn ará Babeli tí wọ́n wà lẹ́yìn odi jà, Èmi yóò sì kó wọn jọ sínú ìlú yìí.
5 And I myself, will fight against you, with a hand outstretched, and with an arm of strength, —and with anger and with wrath and with great indignation;
Èmi gan an yóò sì bá yín jà pẹ̀lú ohun ìjà olóró nínú ìbínú àti ìrunú líle.
6 and I will smite the inhabitants of this city, both man and beast, —of a great pestilence, shall they die.
Èmi yóò sì lu gbogbo ìlú yìí, ènìyàn àti ẹranko, gbogbo wọn ni àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn yóò kọlù tí wọn yóò sì kú.
7 And after that, Declareth Yahweh—Will I deliver Zedekiah king of Judah and his servants, and the people—even such as are left in this city from the pestilence from the sword and from the famine, —into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, even into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them who are seeking their life, —and he will smite them with the edge of the sword, he will not have pity on them nor will he spare nor will he have compassion.
Olúwa sọ pé lẹ́yìn èyí, èmi yóò fi Sedekiah ọba Juda, àti àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀, àti àwọn ènìyàn, àti àwọn tí ó kù ní ìlú yìí lọ́wọ́ àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn àti lọ́wọ́ idà, àti lọ́wọ́ ìyàn; èmi yóò fi wọ́n lé Nebukadnessari ọba Babeli lọ́wọ́, àti lé ọwọ́ àwọn ọ̀tá wọn, àti lé ọwọ́ àwọn tí ń lépa ẹ̀mí wọn, òun yóò sì fi ojú idà pa wọ́n, kì yóò sì dá wọn sí, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kì yóò ní ìyọ́nú tàbí ṣàánú wọn.’
8 And unto this people, shalt thou say, Thus, saith Yahweh, —Behold me! setting before you the way, of life, and the way of death:
“Síwájú sí i, sọ fún àwọn ènìyàn, ‘Èyí ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tí ó sọ: Wò ó, Èmi ń fi ọ̀nà ìyè àti ikú hàn yín.
9 He that remaineth in this city, shall die—by the sword or by the famine or by the pestilence, —Whereas, he that goeth forth and falleth unto the Chaldeans, who are besieging you, —then shall he live, and, his life, shall become to him, a spoil;
Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá dúró sí ìlú yìí yóò ti ipa idà, ìyàn tàbí àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn kú. Ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó bá jáde tí ó sì jọ̀wọ́ ara rẹ̀ fún àwọn Babeli tí ó ń lépa yín yóò sì yè. Òun yóò sá àsálà fún ẹ̀mí rẹ̀.
10 For I have set my face against this city, for calamity and not for blessing, Declareth Yahweh, —Into the hand of the king of Babylon, shall it be given up, and he will burn it with fire.
Mo ti pinnu láti jẹ ìlú yìí ní yà, ni Olúwa wí. A ó sì gbé e fún ọba Babeli, yóò sì run ún pẹ̀lú iná.’
11 Now, as to the house of the king of Judah, —hear ye the word of Yahweh: —
“Ẹ̀wẹ̀, wí fún ìdílé ọba Juda pé, ‘Gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa.
12 O house of David! Thus, saith Yahweh, Administer justice betimes, And deliver the robbed out of the hand of the oppressor, —Lest mine indignation come forth like fire And burn and there be none to quench it, Because of the wickedness of your doings:
Ilé Dafidi èyí ni ọ̀rọ̀ tí Olúwa sọ: “‘Ṣe ìdájọ́ tí ó tọ́ ní àràárọ̀; yọ ọ́ kúrò lọ́wọ́ ẹni tí ó ń ni í lára ẹni tí a ti jà lólè bí bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́ ìbínú mi yóò jáde síta, yóò sì jó bí iná. Nítorí ibi tí a ti ṣe yóò sì jó láìsí ẹni tí yóò pa á.
13 Behold me! against thee, O thou dweller in the vale on the level rock, Declareth Yahweh, —Ye who are saying, Who shall come down upon us? Who shall enter our habitations?
Mo kẹ̀yìn sí ọ, Jerusalẹmu, ìwọ tí o gbé lórí àfonífojì lórí òkúta tí ó tẹ́jú, ni Olúwa wí. Ìwọ tí o ti wí pé, “Ta ni ó le dojúkọ wá? Ta ni yóò wọ inú ibùgbé wa?”
14 Yet will I bring punishment upon you according to the fruit of your doings, Declareth Yahweh, —and will kindle a fire in her forest, and it shall devour all things round about her.
Èmi yóò jẹ ọ ní ìyà gẹ́gẹ́ bí iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ rẹ̀ ni Olúwa wí. Èmi yóò mú kí iná jó ilé rẹ̀; yóò si jó gbogbo ohun tí ó wà ní àyíká rẹ.’”
