Jeremiah 11
1 This is [another] message that Yahweh told me:
Èyí ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tí ó tọ Jeremiah wá:
2 “Listen to the agreement that I made with [the ancestors of] the people of Jerusalem and [the other cities in] Judah. Then remind them of [that agreement].
“Fetísílẹ̀ sí ọ̀rọ̀ májẹ̀mú yìí, kí o sì sọ wọ́n fún àwọn ènìyàn Juda, àti gbogbo àwọn tó ń gbé ni Jerusalẹmu.
3 Then tell them that [I], Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli [people worship], said that I will curse everyone who does not obey what was written in that agreement that I made with them.
Sọ fún wọn wí pé èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí: ‘Ègbé ni fún ẹni náà tí kò pa ọ̀rọ̀ májẹ̀mú yìí mọ́.
4 It is the same agreement that I made with their ancestors when I brought them out of Egypt. [What happened to them in Egypt was terrible; it was as though they were] living in a hot furnace [MET]. When I brought them out of Egypt, I told them to obey me, and to do everything that I had commanded them to do. [I also told them] that if they obeyed me, they would be my people and I would be their God.
Àwọn májẹ̀mú tí mo pàṣẹ fún àwọn baba ńlá yín, nígbà tí mo mú wọn jáde láti Ejibiti, láti inú iná alágbẹ̀dẹ wá.’ Mo wí pé, ‘Ẹ gbọ́ tèmi, kí ẹ sì ṣe ohun gbogbo tí mo pàṣẹ fún un yín. Ẹ̀yin ó sì jẹ́ ènìyàn mi, Èmi ó sì jẹ́ Ọlọ́run yín.
5 [Now tell these people that if they obey me], I will do what I promised to do for their ancestors. I will enable them to continue living in this very fertile [IDM] land in which they now live.” I replied, “Yahweh, I hope that what you said will happen.”
Nígbà náà ni Èmi ó sì mú ìlérí tí mo búra fún àwọn baba ńlá yín ṣẹ; láti fún wọn ní ilẹ̀ tí ó ń sàn fún wàrà àti fún oyin,’ ilẹ̀ tí ẹ ní lónìí.” Mo sì dáhùn wí pé, “Àmín, Olúwa.”
6 Then Yahweh said to me, “Go into the streets of Jerusalem and to the [other] cities in Judah. Proclaim my message to the people. Tell them to listen to the agreement [that I made with their ancestors], and to obey it.
Olúwa wí fún mi pé, “Kéde gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ yìí ní àwọn ìlú Juda àti ní gbogbo òpópónà ìgboro Jerusalẹmu pé, ‘Ẹ gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ májẹ̀mú yìí, kí ẹ sì se wọn.
7 When I brought their ancestors out of Egypt, I solemnly pleaded with them many times to obey me, and I am still pleading with them now.
Láti ìgbà tí mo ti mú àwọn baba yín jáde láti ilẹ̀ Ejibiti wá títí di òní, mo kìlọ̀ fún wọn lọ́pọ̀ ìgbà wí pé, “Ẹ gbọ́ tèmi.”
8 But they did not obey me or [even] pay any attention to me. Everyone continued to be stubborn and to do the evil things that they wanted to do. I commanded them to do what was written in the agreement, but they refused. So I punished them in all the ways that I promised that I would.”
Ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò gbọ́, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọn kò kọbi ara sí i dípò èyí wọ́n tẹ̀síwájú ni agídí ọkàn wọn. Mo sì mú gbogbo ègún inú májẹ̀mú tí mo ti ṣèlérí, tí mo sì ti pàṣẹ fún wọn láti tẹ̀lé, tí wọn kò tẹ̀lé wa sórí wọn.’”
9 Then Yahweh said to me, “The people of Jerusalem and [the other cities in] Judah are rebelling against me.
Olúwa sì wí fún mi pé, “Ọ̀tẹ̀ kan wà láàrín àwọn ará Juda àti àwọn tí ń gbé ní Jerusalẹmu.
10 Their ancestors refused to do what I told them to do, and [now] these people have returned to committing the sins that their ancestors committed. They are worshiping other gods. The people of Israel disobeyed the agreement that I made with their ancestors, and [now] the people of Judah have done the same thing.
Wọ́n ti padà sí ìdí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àwọn baba ńlá wọn tí wọn kọ̀ láti tẹ́tí sí ọ̀rọ̀ mi, wọ́n ti tẹ̀lé àwọn ọlọ́run mìíràn láti sìn wọ́n. Ilé Israẹli àti ilé Juda ti ba májẹ̀mú tí mo dá pẹ̀lú àwọn baba ńlá wọn jẹ́.
11 So now I, Yahweh, am warning them that I will cause them to experience disasters, and they will not escape them. And when they cry out for me [to help them], I will not pay attention.
Nítorí náà, èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí: ‘Èmi yóò mu ibi tí wọn kò ní le è yẹ̀ wá sórí wọn, bí wọ́n tilẹ̀ ké pè mí èmi kì yóò fetí sí igbe wọn.
12 When that happens, the people in Jerusalem and [other] cities in Judah will [offer sacrifices and] burn incense to their gods and ask for their help, but those gods will not be able to save them when those disasters come to them.
Àwọn ìlú Juda àti àwọn ará Jerusalẹmu yóò lọ kégbe sí àwọn òrìṣà tí wọ́n ń sun tùràrí sí; àwọn òrìṣà náà kò ní ràn wọ́n lọ́wọ́ ní ìgbà tí ìpọ́njú náà bá dé.
13 There are more gods in Judah than there are towns in Judah, and the people of Jerusalem have erected as many altars to burn incense [to those gods] as there are streets in Jerusalem.
Ìwọ Juda, bí iye àwọn ìlú rẹ, bẹ́ẹ̀ iye àwọn òrìṣà rẹ; bẹ́ẹ̀ ni iye pẹpẹ tí ẹ̀yin ti tẹ́ fún sísun tùràrí Baali ohun ìtìjú n nì ṣe pọ̀ bí iye òpópónà tí ó wà ní Jerusalẹmu.’
14 Jeremiah, do not pray for these people, and do not plead with me to rescue them. If you plead with me, I will not pay attention; and if they cry out to me for help when they are in distress, I will not listen to them.”
“Má ṣe gbàdúrà fún àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí tàbí kí o bẹ̀bẹ̀ fún wọn, nítorí pé, Èmi kì yóò dẹtí sí wọn nígbà tí wọ́n bá ké pè mí ní ìgbà ìpọ́njú.
15 Then Yahweh said, “The people [of Judah] whom I love certainly no longer have [RHQ] a right to come to my temple, because they continually do many evil things. [They think that] continually making sacrifices of meat to me certainly will [RHQ] protect them from disasters, with the result that they will be able to rejoice.
“Kí ni olùfẹ́ mi ní í ṣe ní tẹmpili mi, bí òun àti àwọn mìíràn ṣe ń hu oríṣìíríṣìí ìwà àrékérekè? Ǹjẹ́ ẹran tí a yà sọ́tọ̀ lè mú ìjìyà kúrò lórí rẹ̀? Nígbà tí ó bá ń ṣe iṣẹ́ búburú rẹ̀, nígbà náà jẹ́ kí inú rẹ̀ kí ó dùn.”
16 I previously said that they were like an olive tree full of green leaves with a lot of good olives on it, but [now I will send their enemies to attack] them furiously; [it is as though] I will break off their branches, and [their city] will be destroyed by fire.
Olúwa pè ọ́ ní igi olifi pẹ̀lú èso rẹ tí ó dára ní ojú. Ṣùgbọ́n pẹ̀lú ìrọ́kẹ̀kẹ̀ ìjì líle ọ̀wọ́-iná ni yóò sun ún tí àwọn ẹ̀ka rẹ̀ yóò sì di gígé kúrò.
17 [It is as though] the people of Judah and Israel were a beautiful olive tree that I, the Commander of the armies of angels, planted, but [now], by burning incense to [their god] Baal, they have caused me to become [very] angry. So [now] I have decided to destroy them.”
Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun tí ó dá ọ ti kéde ibi sí ọ, nítorí ilé Israẹli àti Juda ti ṣe ohun ibi, wọ́n sì ti mú inú bí mi, wọ́n ti ru ìbínú mi sókè nípa sísun tùràrí si Baali.
18 Yahweh revealed to me that [my enemies] were planning to kill me.
Nítorí Olúwa fi ọ̀tẹ̀ wọn hàn mí mo mọ̀ ọ́n; nítorí ní àsìkò náà ó fi ohun tí wọ́n ń ṣe hàn mí.
19 [Before he did that], I was like a lamb that was being led away to be slaughtered; I did not know what they were planning to do. I did not know that they were saying, “Let’s get rid of this tree and its fruit,” so [I did not know] that they intended to kill me, in order that no one would remember me [MTY].
Mo ti dàbí ọ̀dọ́-àgùntàn jẹ́ẹ́jẹ́ tí a mú lọ fún pípa; n kò mọ̀ pé wọ́n ti gbìmọ̀ búburú sí mi wí pé: “Jẹ́ kí a run igi àti èso rẹ̀; jẹ́ kí a gé e kúrò ní orí ilẹ̀ alààyè, kí a má lè rántí orúkọ rẹ̀ mọ́.”
20 [Then I prayed], “Commander of the armies of angels, you judge people justly/fairly, and you examine everything that we are thinking [DOU]. Allow me to watch you getting revenge on the people [who want to kill me], because I trust that you will do for me what is right.”
Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun, tí ó ń ṣe ìdájọ́ òdodo, tí ó ń ṣe àyẹ̀wò ẹ̀mí àti ọkàn, jẹ́ kí n rí ẹ̀san rẹ lórí wọn; nítorí ìwọ ni mo fi ọ̀rọ̀ mi lé lọ́wọ́.
21 It was the men of [my own town], Anathoth, who wanted to kill me, and they told me that they would kill me if I did not stop prophesying what Yahweh told me to say.
“Nítorí náà, èyí ni ohun tí Ọlọ́run sọ nípa àwọn arákùnrin Anatoti tí wọ́n ń lépa ẹ̀mí rẹ̀, tí wọ́n ń wí pé, ‘Má ṣe sọ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ ní orúkọ Olúwa, bí bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́ ìwọ ó kú láti ọwọ́ wa.’
22 So the Commander of the armies of angels said [about them], “I will punish them. Their young men will be killed in wars, and their children will die because they have no food.
Nítorí náà, èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun sọ pé, ‘Èmi yóò fì ìyà jẹ wọ́n, àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin wọn yóò tipasẹ̀ idà kú, ìyàn yóò pa àwọn ọmọkùnrin àti ọmọbìnrin wọn.
23 I have set a time when I will bring disasters to the people of Anathoth, and when that happens, none of them will remain alive.”
Kò ní ṣẹ́kù ohunkóhun sílẹ̀ fún wọn nítorí èmi yóò mú ibi wá sórí àwọn ènìyàn Anatoti ní ọdún ìbẹ̀wò wọn.’”
