Jeremiah 32
1 After Zedekiah had been ruling Judah for almost ten years, Yahweh gave me another message, during the time that Nebuchadnezzar had been ruling [Babylonia] for almost 18 years.
Èyí ni ọ̀rọ̀ tó tọ Jeremiah wá láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa ní ọdún kẹwàá Sedekiah ọba Juda, èyí tí ó jẹ́ ọdún kejìdínlógún ti Nebukadnessari.
2 His army was surrounding Jerusalem, and I was in a prison area in the courtyard where the guards of the king’s palace stayed.
Àwọn ogun ọba Babeli ìgbà náà há Jerusalẹmu mọ́. A sì sé wòlíì Jeremiah mọ́ inú túbú tí wọ́n ń ṣọ́ ní àgbàlá ilé ọba Juda.
3 King Zedekiah had put me there. I continued to prophesy there [about what would happen]. I continued to say, “Yahweh says that he is about to allow [the army of] the king of Babylon to capture this city [DOU].
Nítorí Sedekiah ọba Juda ti há a mọ́lé síbẹ̀; pé, “Kí ló dé tí ìwọ fi ń sọ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ bẹ́ẹ̀? Tí o sì wí pé, ‘Báyìí ni Olúwa wí: Èmi ń bọ̀ wá fi ìlú yìí fún ọba Babeli, tí yóò sì gbà á.
4 And the soldiers of Babylonia will capture King Zedekiah and (take him to/put him in the hands of) the king of Babylon.
Sedekiah ọba Juda kò lè bọ́ lọ́wọ́ àwọn Kaldea, ṣùgbọ́n à ó mú fún ọba Babeli, yóò sì bá sọ̀rọ̀ ní ojúkojú; yóò sì rí pẹ̀lú ojú rẹ̀.
5 Then his [soldiers] will take Zedekiah to Babylon, and he will remain there until I arrange for him to be punished. And if he tries to fight against the soldiers from Babylonia, he will not succeed.”
Yóò mú Sedekiah lọ sí Babeli tí yóò wà títí èmi yóò fi bẹ̀ ọ́ wò ni Olúwa wí. Tí ẹ̀yin bá bá àwọn ará Kaldea jà, ẹ̀yin kì yóò borí wọn.’”
6 [At that time], Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
Jeremiah wí pé, “Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá wí pé:
7 “[Your cousin] Hanamel, the son of Shallum [your uncle], will come to you. He will say to you, ‘Buy my field at Anathoth, [your hometown]. [Because you are my closest relative], [it is written in our laws that] you have the right to buy it [before I ask if anyone else wants to buy it].’”
Hanameli ọmọkùnrin Ṣallumu ẹ̀gbọ́n rẹ̀ yóò tọ̀ ọ́ wá pé, ‘Ra pápá mi tí ó wà ní Anatoti; nítorí gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹni tó súnmọ́ wọn, ẹ̀tọ́ àti ìṣe rẹ ní láti rà á.’
8 And just as Yahweh had predicted, my cousin Hanamel came to see me in the courtyard of the palace. He said, “[Please] buy my field at Anathoth in the area [where the descendants of] Benjamin live. It is written in our laws that you have the right to buy it [before I ask if anyone else wants to buy it.]” When he said that, I knew that the message that I had received was [truly] from Yahweh.
“Gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti sọ, Hanameli ọmọ ẹ̀gbọ́n mi tọ̀ mí wá ní àgbàlá túbú wí pé, ‘Ra pápá mi tí ó wà ní Anatoti tí ó wà ní ilẹ̀ Benjamini, èyí tí ó jẹ́ pé ẹ̀tọ́ rẹ ni láti gbà á àti láti ni, rà á fún ara rẹ.’ “Nígbà náà ni èmi mọ̀ wí pé ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa ni èyí.
9 [So], I bought the field at Anathoth. I paid Hanamel 17 pieces of silver for it.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni; èmi ra pápá náà ní Anatoti láti ọwọ́ Hanameli ọmọ ẹ̀gbọ́n mi. Mo sì wọn ìwọ̀n ṣékélì àti fàdákà mẹ́tàdínlógún fún un.
10 I signed the paper/papyrus on which it was written that I was buying it, while others were watching/witnessing it. Then I weighed the silver [and gave it to him].
Mo fọwọ́ sínú ìwé, mo sì dì í pa. Mo pe ẹlẹ́rìí sí i, mo sì wọn fàdákà náà lórí òsùwọ̀n.
11 Then I took two copies of the paper/papyrus. One was sealed and the other was not sealed. On both of them was written the price and conditions of the purchase. I took both copies
Mo mú ìwé tí mo fi rà á, èyí tí a di pa nípa àṣẹ àti òfin wa, àti èyí tí a kò lẹ̀.
12 and I gave them to Baruch, who was the son of Neraiah and the grandson of Mahseiah. I did this while my cousin Hanamel, the [other] witnesses who had signed the paper/papyrus, and other men of Judah who were there in the courtyard, were watching.
Èmi sì fi èyí fún Baruku, ọmọ Neriah, ọmọ Maseiah, ní ojú Hanameli, ọmọ ẹ̀gbọ́n mi àti níwájú àwọn ẹlẹ́rìí tí ó ti fi ọwọ́ sí ìwé àti ní ojú àwọn Júù gbogbo tí wọ́n jókòó ní àgbàlá ilé túbú.
13 [Then], while they were [all] listening, I said to Baruch,
“Ní ojú wọn ni èmi ti pàṣẹ fún Baruku pé,
14 “This is what the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [we] Israelis [worship], says: ‘Take both copies of this paper/papyrus and put them in a clay jar, to preserve them for a long time.
èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí; mú àwọn ìwé tí a fi rà á wọ̀nyí, àti èyí tí a lẹ̀ àti èyí tí a kò lẹ̀, kí o wá gbé wọn sínú ìkòkò amọ̀, kí wọn ó lè wà ní ọjọ́ púpọ̀.
15 [Do that] because this is what [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [you] Israelis [worship], say: “[Some day people will again own property] in this land, and they will buy and sell houses and vineyards and fields.’”
Nítorí èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí; àwọn ilẹ̀, pápá àti ọgbà àjàrà ni à ó tún rà padà nílẹ̀ yìí.
16 After I had given the papers/papyri to Baruch, I prayed to Yahweh, saying this:
“Lẹ́yìn tí mo ti fi ìwé rírà náà fún Baruku ọmọkùnrin Neriah, mo gbàdúrà sí Olúwa wí pé:
17 “Yahweh, [you are my] Lord! You made the sky and the earth by your very great power. [MTY, DOU] Nothing is too difficult for you [to do].
“Háà! Olúwa Olódùmarè, ìwọ tí o dá ọ̀run àti ayé pẹ̀lú títóbi agbára rẹ àti gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ apá rẹ. Kò sí ohun tí ó ṣòro fún ọ láti ṣe.
18 You show thousands of people that you faithfully love them, but you punish people for the sins that their parents have committed. [You are the] great and powerful God, the Commander of the armies of angels.
O fi ìfẹ́ hàn sí ẹgbẹẹgbẹ̀rún àwọn ènìyàn, ṣùgbọ́n o gbé ìyà ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àwọn baba lé àwọn ọmọ lẹ́yìn wọn. Ọlọ́run títóbi àti alágbára, Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ni orúkọ rẹ.
19 You make wise plans and you do mighty deeds. You see how all people behave [DOU], and you do to them what they deserve.

20 You performed many miracles [DOU] in Egypt, and you continue [to perform miracles here] in Israel and everywhere else in the world. [Because of that], you have (become very famous/caused many people to know that you are very great/powerful).
O ṣe iṣẹ́ àmì àti iṣẹ́ ìyanu ńlá ní Ejibiti. O sì ń ṣe é títí di òní ní Israẹli àti lára ọmọ ènìyàn tí ó sì ti gba òkìkí tí ó jẹ́ tìrẹ.
21 You brought our Israeli ancestors out of Egypt by performing many great miracles [DOU], using your very great power [DOU], causing [our enemies to be] terrified.
O kó àwọn Israẹli ènìyàn rẹ jáde láti Ejibiti pẹ̀lú iṣẹ́ àmì àti iṣẹ́ ìyanu nínú ọwọ́ agbára àti nína apá rẹ pẹ̀lú ẹ̀rù ńlá.
22 You gave to us Israeli people this land that you solemnly promised to give to our ancestors, a land that is very fertile [IDM].
Ìwọ fún wọn nílẹ̀ yìí, èyí tí o ti ṣèlérí fún àwọn baba ńlá wọn; ilẹ̀ tí ó ń sàn fún wàrà àti oyin.
23 Our ancestors came here and conquered this land and started to live in it, but they refused to obey you or to do what you commanded them to do. Because of that, you have caused us to experience all these disasters.
Wọ́n wá, wọ́n sì gba ilẹ̀ náà ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ tàbí tẹ̀lé òfin rẹ. Wọn kò ṣe ohun tí o pàṣẹ fún wọn, nítorí náà ìwọ mú àwọn ibi yìí wá sórí wọn.
24 And now, [the army] of Babylonia has built ramps up against our city [walls] in order to attack our city. Because of [our enemies’] swords and because of famines and diseases, they will be able to conquer it [easily]. The things that you said would happen have [now] happened.
“Wò ó, bí àwọn ìdọ̀tí ṣe kórajọ láti gba ìlú. Nítorí idà, ìyàn àti àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn, sì fi ìlú lé ọwọ́ àwọn ará Kaldea tí ń gbóguntì wọ́n. Ohun tí ìwọ sọ ṣẹ gẹ́gẹ́ bí o ṣe rí i.
25 [And it is evident that] the Babylonian army will soon conquer this city. So now, Yahweh my Lord, [I do not understand] why you told me to buy this field with my silver, while others were watching. [It seems that I have just been wasting my money by doing that]!”
Síbẹ̀ a ó fi ìlú náà fún àwọn ará Babeli, ìwọ Olúwa Olódùmarè sọ fún mi pé, ‘Ra pápá náà pẹ̀lú owó fàdákà, kí o sì pe ẹlẹ́rìí.’”
26 [Then] Yahweh gave me this message:
Nígbà náà ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ Jeremiah wá pé:
27 “I am Yahweh, the God [who rules] all the people [in the world]. There is absolutely nothing [RHQ] that is too difficult for me [to do].
“Èmi ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run gbogbo ẹran-ara. Ǹjẹ́ ohun kan ha a ṣòro fún mi bí?
28 So, this is what I say: [It is true that] I will enable the Babylonian army and King Nebuchadnezzar to capture this city.
Nítorí náà, báyìí ni Olúwa wí, Èmi ṣetán láti fi ìlú yìí fún àwọn ará Kaldea àti fún Nebukadnessari ọba Babeli ẹni tí yóò kó o.
29 The soldiers of Babylonia who are [now outside the walls] around the city will enter and burn this city. They will burn down [all] the houses where people caused me to become angry by burning incense on [the tops of] their roofs to [honor] Baal and by pouring out offerings of wine to other gods.
Àwọn ará Kaldea tí ó ń gbógun tí ìlú yóò wọ ìlú. Wọn ó sì fi iná sí ìlú; wọn ó jó o palẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ilé tí àwọn ènìyàn ti ń mú mi bínú, tí wọ́n ń rú ẹbọ tùràrí lórí pẹpẹ fún Baali tiwọn sì ń da ẹbọ ohun mímu fún àwọn ọlọ́run mìíràn.
30 The people of Israel and Judah have continually done only evil things from the time that they became a nation. They have caused me to become very angry by all their evil deeds.
“Àwọn ènìyàn Israẹli àti Juda kò ṣe ohun kankan bí kò ṣe ibi lójú mi láti ìgbà èwe wọn. Nítorí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ti fi kìkì iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ wọ́n mú mi bínú ni Olúwa wí.
31 From the time that this city was built until now, the people of this city have done [only] things that caused me to be very angry [DOU]. So [now] I will destroy it.
Láti ọjọ́ tí wọ́n ti kọ́ ọ, títí di àkókò yìí ni ìlú yìí ti jẹ́ ohun ìbínú àti ìyọnu fún mi tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí èmi yóò fà á tu kúrò níwájú mi.
32 The people of Israel and Judah, [including] their kings, their officials, the priests, the [false] prophets, and all the other people in Jerusalem have committed many sins that have caused me to become angry.
Àwọn ènìyàn Israẹli àti àwọn ènìyàn Juda ti mú mi bínú pẹ̀lú gbogbo ìbàjẹ́ tí wọ́n ṣe. Àwọn Israẹli, ọba wọn àti gbogbo ìjòyè, àlùfáà àti wòlíì, àwọn ọkùnrin Juda àti àwọn ènìyàn Jerusalẹmu.
33 My people have turned away from me and have refused to return to me. Even though I taught them things many times, they would not pay attention to what I taught them, and they would not obey me.
Wọ́n kọ ẹ̀yìn sí mi, wọ́n sì yí ojú wọn padà. Èmi kọ wọ́n, síbẹ̀ wọn kò fetísílẹ̀ láti gbọ́ ẹ̀kọ́ tàbí kọbi ara sí ìwà ìbàjẹ́.
34 They have set up their detestable idols [even] in my own [MTY] temple and (defiled it/caused it to become a place that is unacceptable for people to worship me).
Wọ́n kó òrìṣà ìríra wọn jọ sí inú ilé tí wọ́n fi orúkọ mi pè, wọ́n sì ṣọ́ di àìmọ́.
35 They have built shrines to [honor] Baal in Ben-Hinnom Valley [outside Jerusalem], and there they sacrifice their sons and daughters to [their god] Molech. I never commanded them to do such horrible things. I never even thought that anyone might do such a terrible thing. And by doing it they have caused [all the people of] Judah to [be guilty of having] sinned.”
Wọ́n kọ́ ibi gíga fún Baali ní àfonífojì Hinnomu láti fi ọmọ wọn ọkùnrin àti obìnrin rú ẹbọ sí Moleki. Èmi kò pàṣẹ, fún wọn, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò wá sí ọkàn mi pé kí wọ́n ṣe ohun ìríra wọ̀nyí tí ó sì mú Juda dẹ́ṣẹ̀.
36 “But now [I will say something more] about this city. You [people of Jerusalem] have been saying, ‘[The army of] the King of Babylon will conquer it, either by their swords or because of famines or diseases.’ But this is what [I], Yahweh, the God whom you Israeli people [say you belong to], say:
“Ìwọ ń sọ̀rọ̀ nípa ti ìlú yìí pé, ‘Pẹ̀lú idà, ìyàn àti àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn ni à ó fi wọ́n fún ọba Babeli,’ ṣùgbọ́n ohun tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli sọ nìyìí,
37 ‘I will certainly bring my people back here again, from all the countries to which I will force them to go because I am extremely angry [DOU] with them. I will bring them back to this city and allow them to live here safely.
Èmi ó kó wọn jọ láti gbogbo ilẹ̀ tí mo ti lé wọn kúrò ní ìgbà ìbínú àti ìkáàánú ńlá mi. Èmi yóò mú wọn padà wá sí ilẹ̀ yìí; èmi ó sì jẹ́ kí wọn ó máa gbé láìléwu.
38 They will be my people, and I will be their God.
Wọn yóò jẹ́ ènìyàn mi, èmi yóò sì jẹ́ Ọlọ́run wọn.
39 I will cause them to have one way of thinking [IDM] and behaving, in order that they may revere me, for their good and for the good of their descendants.
Èmi ó fún wọn ní ọkàn kan àti ìṣe kí wọn kí ó lè máa bẹ̀rù mi fún rere wọn àti fún rere àwọn ọmọ wọn tí ó tẹ̀lé wọn.
40 I will make an agreement with them that will last forever: I will never stop doing good things for them, and I will encourage them to revere me and never turn away from me.
Èmi ò bá wọn dá májẹ̀mú ayérayé, èmi kò ní dúró láti ṣe rere fún wọn, Èmi ó sì jẹ́ kí wọ́n bẹ̀rù mi, wọn kì yóò sì padà lẹ́yìn mi.
41 I will be happy to do good things for them, and I will surely enable them to return to this land and remain here [MET]; I will do that with all my inner being and all my strength.’
Lóòtítọ́, èmi ó yọ̀ nípa ṣíṣe wọ́n ní rere, èmi ó sì fi dá wọn lójú nípa gbígbìn wọ́n sí ilẹ̀ yìí tọkàntọkàn mi.
42 And this is [also] what [I], Yahweh, say: ‘I have caused them to experience all these disasters. Similarly, [some day] I will do for them all the good things that I have promised.
“Nítorí báyìí ni Olúwa wí, gẹ́gẹ́ bí èmi ti mú gbogbo ibi ńlá yìí wá sórí àwọn ènìyàn yìí, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi ó mú gbogbo rere tí èmi ti sọ nípa tiwọn wá sórí wọn.
43 [By buying land you, Jeremiah, have predicted that some day] people will buy and sell fields in this land about which you [people of Jerusalem] now say, “The Babylonian soldiers have destroyed it. It is [now] desolate. [It is a land where] there are no longer any people or animals.”
Lẹ́ẹ̀kan sí i, pápá yóò di rírà ní ilẹ̀ yìí tí ìwọ ti sọ pé, ‘Ohun òfò ni tí kò bá sí ọkùnrin tàbí àwọn ẹran, nítorí tí a ti fi fún àwọn ará Babeli.’
44 [But some day] people will [again] buy [and sell] fields here. People will sign documents [about buying those fields], and [other people] will witness them doing that. [That will happen] in the land where [the descendants of] Benjamin live and [here] in the villages near Jerusalem, in [other] towns in Judah, in the hilly areas and in the foothills [to the west], and in the southern desert area, [too. Some day] I will cause them to prosper again. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.’”
Wọn ó fi owó fàdákà ra oko, wọn yóò fi ọwọ́ sí ìwé, wọn ó dí pa pẹ̀lú ẹlẹ́rìí láti ilẹ̀ Benjamini àti ní ìlú kéékèèké tí ó yí Jerusalẹmu ká, àti ní ìlú Juda àti ní ìlú àwọn ìlú orí òkè, àti ni àwọn ẹsẹ̀ òkè, àti ní gúúsù, èmi ó mú ìgbèkùn wọn padà wá, ni Olúwa wí.”
