Jeremiah 49
1 [This message is] about the Ammon people-group. This is what Yahweh says: “There are [RHQ] plenty of Israeli people left to occupy [the land of the tribe of] Gad. So, why are [RHQ] [the people who worship the god] Molech living in those towns?
Nípa Ammoni. Báyìí ni Olúwa wí, “Israẹli kò ha ní ọmọkùnrin? Israẹli kò ha ní àrólé bí? Nítorí kí ni Malkomu ṣe jogún Gadi? Kí ló dé tí àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ ń gbé ìlú rẹ̀?
2 There will be a time when I will sound the battle-cry [for their enemies] to attack [their capital city], Rabbah. [Then] it will become a heap of ruins, and [all] the nearby towns will be burned. Then [the people of] Israel will again possess the land that the Ammon people-group took away from them.
Ṣùgbọ́n ọjọ́ náà ń bọ̀,” ni Olúwa wí; “nígbà tí èmi yóò mú kí a gbọ́ ìdágìrì ogun ní Rabba tí Ammoni; yóò sì di òkìtì ahoro, gbogbo ìlú tí ó yí i ká ni a ó jó níná. Nígbà náà ni Israẹli yóò lé wọn, àwọn tí ó ti lé e jáde,” ni Olúwa wí.
3 You people of Heshbon [city] [MTY], wail, because Ai [town nearby] will be destroyed. You people of Rabbah [city], weep; put on (rough clothing/sackcloth) [to show you are mourning]; run back and forth [in confusion] inside the city walls, because [your god] Milcom, along with its priests and officials, will be taken away (in exile/to other countries).
“Hu, ìwọ Heṣboni, nítorí Ai tí rún! Kígbe ẹ̀yin olùgbé Rabba! Ẹ wọ aṣọ ọ̀fọ̀ kí ẹ sì ṣọ̀fọ̀. Ẹ sáré sókè sódò nínú ọgbà, nítorí Malkomu yóò lọ sí ìgbèkùn, pẹ̀lú àwọn àlùfáà àti ìjòyè rẹ̀.
4 You are [RHQ] very proud of your very fertile valleys, [but they will soon be ruined]. You rebellious people, you trusted in your wealth, and you said, ‘Certainly no [RHQ] army will be able to attack us!’
Èéṣe tí ìwọ fi ń ṣògo nínú àfonífojì rẹ, ṣògo nínú àfonífojì rẹ fún èso? Ẹ̀yin ọmọbìnrin Ammoni aláìṣòótọ́, ẹ gbẹ́kẹ̀lé ọrọ̀ yín, ẹ sì wí pé, ‘Ta ni yóò kò mí lójú?’
5 But listen to this: 'I, the Commander of the armies of angels, will cause you to become terrified. You will all be forced to flee [to other countries], and no one will be able to bring you together [again].'
Èmi yóò mu ẹ̀rù wá lórí rẹ láti ọ̀dọ̀ gbogbo àwọn tó yí ọ ká,” ni Olúwa, ni Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí.
6 But some day I will enable the Ammon people-group to return to their land. [That will surely happen, because I, ] Yahweh, have said it.”
“Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun. Gbogbo yín ni ó lé jáde, kò sì ṣí ẹnìkan tí yóò dá ìkólọ Ammoni padà,” ni Olúwa wí.
7 [This message is] about the Edom people-group. This is what the Commander of the armies of angels says: “It seems that [RHQ] there are no wise people in Teman [district in Edom]! There are no people left who can give others [good] advice. The people who were wise [PRS] have disappeared.
Nípa Edomu. Èyí ní ohun tí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí: “Ṣe kò ha sí ọgbọ́n mọ́ ni Temani? Ṣé a ti ké ìmọ̀ràn kúrò ní ọ̀dọ̀ olóyè? Ṣé ọgbọ́n wọn ti bàjẹ́ bí?
8 You people of Dedan [city in the south of Edom], turn and flee and hide in deep [caves], because when I cause the Edom people-group to experience disaster, I will punish you, too.
Yípadà kí o sálọ, sá pamọ́ sínú ihò, ìwọ tí ó ń gbé ní Dedani, nítorí èmi yóò mú ibi wá sórí Esau, ní àkókò tí èmi ó bẹ̀ ẹ́ wò.
9 Those who harvest grapes always [RHQ] leave some on the vines. When thieves come at night, they surely [RHQ] steal only as much as they want.
Tí àwọn tí ń ṣa èso bá tọ̀ ọ́ wá; ǹjẹ́ wọn kò ní fi èso díẹ̀ sílẹ̀? Tí olè bá wá ní òru; ǹjẹ́ wọn kò ní kó gbogbo ohun tí wọ́n bá fẹ́?
10 But I will cause everything in Edom to be destroyed, and there will be nothing left, and there will be no place for people to hide. [Many of] [HYP] the children, their relatives and their neighbors, will die, and Edom will not exist any more.
Ṣùgbọ́n èmi yóò tu Esau sí ìhòhò, èmi ti fi ibi ìkọ̀kọ̀ rẹ̀ hàn, nítorí kí o máa ba à fi ara rẹ pamọ́. Àwọn ọmọ rẹ, ẹbí rẹ àti àwọn ará ilé rẹ yóò parun. Wọn kò sì ní sí mọ́.
11 But I will protect the orphans, and the widows [also] will [be able to] depend on me [to help them].”
Fi àwọn ọmọ aláìní baba sílẹ̀ èmi yóò dáàbò bo ẹ̀mí wọn. Àwọn opó rẹ gan an lè gbẹ́kẹ̀lé mi.”
12 And this is [also] what Yahweh says: “If those who do not deserve to suffer [MET] must suffer, you people of Edom must [RHQ] suffer much more [DOU]! You will not escape being punished.
Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí bí ẹnikẹ́ni tí kò bá yẹ kí ó mu ago náà bá mú un, kí ló dé tí ìwọ yóò fi lọ láìjìyà? Ìwọ kò ní lọ láìjìyà; ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ yóò mú un.
13 I, Yahweh, have solemnly promised, using my own name, that [your chief city] Bozrah will become a place that people will be horrified about. It will be a heap of ruins. People will make fun of it and use its name when they curse people. All the nearby towns and villages will be a ruins forever.”
Èmi fi ara mi búra ni Olúwa wí, wí pé, “Bosra yóò ba ayé ara rẹ̀ jẹ́. Yóò di ẹni ẹ̀gàn, ẹni èpè àti ẹni ègún, àti gbogbo ìlú rẹ̀ yóò di ìbàjẹ́ títí láé.”
14 I heard this message from Yahweh: “I have sent an ambassador to [many] nations, [to tell them to] gather together to attack Edom. They must prepare for battle!”
Ní gbígbọ́, èmi ti gbọ́ ìró kan láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa, a rán ikọ̀ kan sí orílẹ̀-èdè pé, ẹ kó ara yín jọ, ẹ wá sórí rẹ̀, ẹ sì dìde láti jagun.
15 [And Yahweh says to the people of Edom, ] “I will cause your nation to become very unimportant among the [other] nations. They will all despise your country.
“Ní báyìí, èmi yóò sọ ọ́ di kékeré láàrín orílẹ̀-èdè gbogbo; ẹni ẹ̀gàn láàrín àwọn ènìyàn.
16 You have caused [people of other nations] to be terrified, and you [MTY] have been very proud, but you have deceived yourselves. You live in caves in the rock cliffs; [you think that you are safe there because] you live high up there. But even if you make your homes as high up as the eagles’ nests, I will cause you to come [crashing] down.
Ìpayà tí ìwọ ti fà sínú ìgbéraga ọkàn rẹ sì ti tàn ọ́ jẹ; ìwọ tí ń gbé ní pàlàpálá àpáta, tí o jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ gíga síbẹ̀ o kọ́ ìtẹ́ rẹ ga gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹyẹ idì; láti ibẹ̀ ni èmi yóò ti mú ọ sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá,” ni Olúwa wí.
17 Edom will become a place about which people are horrified; people who pass by will be horrified and will (gasp/be shocked) when they see the destruction.
“Edomu yóò di ahoro gbogbo àwọn tí ń kọjá yóò jáyà, wọn ó sì fi rẹ́rìn-ín ẹlẹ́yà nítorí gbogbo ìpalára rẹ.
18 Edom will be destroyed as [completely as] Sodom and Gomorrah and the nearby towns were destroyed [long ago]. [As a result, ] no one will live there [any more] [DOU].
Gẹ́gẹ́ bí wọ́n ṣe gba Sodomu àti Gomorra pẹ̀lú àwọn ìlú tí ó wà ní àyíká rẹ,” ní Olúwa wí. “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, kò sí ẹnikẹ́ni tí yóò gbé níbẹ̀; kò sì ní sí ènìyàn tí yóò tẹ̀dó síbẹ̀ mọ́.
19 I will come to Edom [suddenly] like [SIM] a lion comes out of the jungle and [leaps on the sheep that are] eating in the good pastureland. I will quickly chase the people of Edom from their land. And [then] I will appoint for them a leader whom I will choose; [I can do that] because there is no one [RHQ] like me who can object to what I do. No ruler can oppose me.
“Bí i kìnnìún ni òun ó gòkè wá láti igbó Jordani sí orí ilẹ̀ ọlọ́ràá, Èmi ó lé Edomu kúrò ní ilẹ̀ rẹ̀ ní kíákíá. Ta ni àyànfẹ́ náà tí èmi ó yàn sórí rẹ̀? Ta ló dàbí mi, ta ni ó sì pé mi ṣe ẹlẹ́rìí? Ta ni olùṣọ́-àgùntàn náà tí yóò le dúró níwájú mi?”
20 Listen to what I have planned to do to the people of Teman [town] and [the rest of] Edom: Even the little children will be dragged away, and I will completely get rid of the people [MET] who live there.
Nítorí náà, ẹ gbọ́ ohun tí Olúwa ní fún Edomu, ohun tí ó ní ní pàtàkì fún àwọn tí ń gbé ní Temani. Àwọn ọ̀dọ́ àgbò ni à ó lé jáde; pápá oko wọn ni yóò run nítorí wọn.
21 When Edom is destroyed, the noise [will be extremely great], with the result that the earth will shake, and the wailing of the people will be heard [as far away as] the Red Sea.
Ilẹ̀ yóò mì tìtì nípa ariwo ìṣubú wọn, a ó gbọ́ igbe wọn ní Òkun pupa.
22 Look! The enemy troops will swoop/rush down over Bozrah like an eagle spreads its wings when it swoops down [to seize an animal]. On that day, [even the strongest] warriors of Edom will [be afraid] like [SIM] a woman who is about to give birth.”
Wò ó! Ẹyẹ idì yóò gòkè fò wálẹ̀, yóò tẹ ìyẹ́ rẹ̀ lórí Bosra. Ní ọjọ́ náà ọkàn àwọn ajagun Edomu yóò dàbí ọkàn obìnrin tí ń rọbí.
23 [This message is] about Damascus. [This is what Yahweh says]: “[The people in the nearby cities of] Hamath and Arpad are confused, because they have heard bad news [about Damascus]. They are very anxious and restless, like [SIM] a sea in a big storm.
Nípa Damasku. “Inú Hamati àti Arpadi bàjẹ́ nítorí wọ́n gbọ́ ìròyìn búburú, ìjayà dé bá wọn, wọ́n sì dààmú bí omi Òkun.
24 The people of Damascus have become very weak, and [they all] have (panicked/fled [because] they are very afraid). The people are anguished and in pain like [SIM] a woman [experiences] who is about to give birth.
Damasku di aláìlera, ó pẹ̀yìndà láti sálọ, ìwárìrì sì dé bá a; ìbẹ̀rù àti ìrora dìímú, ìrora bí ti obìnrin tí ó wà ní ipò ìrọbí.
25 That famous city, that I was [previously] pleased with, will be abandoned.
Kí ló dé tí ìlú olókìkí di ohun ìkọ̀sílẹ̀; ìlú tí mo dunnú sí.
26 Its young men will fall in the streets. Its soldiers will all be killed in one day.
Lóòtítọ́, àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin rẹ yóò ṣubú lójú pópó, gbogbo àwọn ọmọ-ogun rẹ yóò pa ẹnu mọ́ ní ọjọ́ náà,” ní Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí.
27 And I, the Commander of the armies of angels, will start a fire to burn the walls that surround Damascus, and the palaces of [King] Ben-Hadad will be burned down.”
“Èmi yóò fi iná sí odi Damasku, yóò sì jó gbọ̀ngàn Beni-Hadadi run.”
28 [This is a message] about the Kedar [people-group] and the kingdom of Hazor which [the army of] Nebuchadnezzar King of Babylon attacked. This is what Yahweh says: “[I will cause an army to] advance to attack Kedar and destroy those people who live east [of Judah].
Nípa ìlú Kedari àti ìjọba Hasori èyí ti Nebukadnessari ọba Babeli dojú ìjà kọ, èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa sọ, “Dìde kí o sì dojú ìjà kọ ìlú Kedari, kí o sì pa àwọn ènìyàn ìlà-oòrùn run.
29 Their tents and their flocks [of sheep] will be captured. The curtains [in their tents] and their camels and their other possessions will be taken away. [Everywhere] men will shout, ‘We are terrified [because terrible things are happening] all around us!’
Àgọ́ wọn àti agbo àgùntàn wọn ni wọn ó kó lọ; àgọ́ wọn yóò di ìṣínípò padà pẹ̀lú gbogbo ẹrù àti ìbákasẹ wọn. Àwọn ènìyàn yóò ké sórí wọ́n pé, ‘Ẹ̀rù yí káàkiri!’
30 So [I, ] Yahweh, say, ‘Run away [quickly]! You people who live in Hazor, go and hide in deep [caves], because King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon wants to attack you [with his army]; he is planning to destroy you!’
“Sálọ kíákíá! Fi ara pamọ́ sí ibi jíjìn, ẹ̀yin olùgbé Hasori,” ni Olúwa wí. “Nebukadnessari ọba Babeli ti dojú ìjà kọ ọ́.
31 But I say [to Nebuchadnezzar], ‘Go up and attack that nation whose people feel secure; they do not have allies [who will help them] and do not have [walls with] gates that have bars in them.
“Dìde kí o sì dojú ìjà kọ orílẹ̀-èdè tí ó wà nínú ìrọ̀rùn, èyí tí ó gbé ní àìléwu,” ní Olúwa wí. “Orílẹ̀-èdè tí kò ní odi tàbí irin, àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ ń dágbé.
32 Your troops will seize their camels and [other] livestock. I will scatter in every direction [IDM] those people who live in remote places (OR, who cut their hair short). I will cause them to experience disasters from every direction.
Àwọn ìbákasẹ á di ẹrù àti àwọn ẹran ọ̀sìn, wọ́n á di ìkógun. Èmi yóò tú àwọn tí ó wà ní òkèèrè sí inú afẹ́fẹ́. Èmi yóò sì mú ibi wá sí àyíká gbogbo,” báyìí ní Olúwa wí.
33 Hazor will become a place where jackals/wolves live, and it will be deserted forever. No one will live there again; no one will settle there [DOU].’”
“Hasori yóò di ibi ìdọdẹ àwọn akátá, ibi ìkọ̀sílẹ̀ ayérayé, kò sí ẹni tí yóò gbé ní ibẹ̀.”
34 I received this message from Yahweh when King Zedekiah was starting to rule Judah.
Èyí ní ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa èyí tí ó tọ Jeremiah wòlíì wá nípa Elamu ní ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ ìjọba Sedekiah ọba Juda.
35 This is what the Commander of the armies of angels says: “The men of Elam are famous (archers/men who shoot arrows well); that is how they have made their country very powerful. But I will get rid of them [MET].
Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun sọ: “Wò ó, èmi yóò fọ́ ìtẹ̀gùn Elamu, ẹni tí wọ́n sinmi lé nípa agbára.
36 I will bring their enemies from all directions [IDM, DOU], and they will scatter the people of Elam in all directions. The people of Elam will be exiled to every nation on the earth [LIT, HYP].
Èmi yóò mú kí afẹ́fẹ́ orígun mẹ́rẹ̀ẹ̀rin àgbáyé lòdì sí Elamu. Èmi yóò tú wọn ká sí ìpín afẹ́fẹ́ mẹ́rin àti pé, kò sí orílẹ̀-èdè tí ilẹ̀ àjèjì Elamu kò ní lọ.
37 Because I am very angry with the people of Elam, I will enable their enemies to smash Elam; I will cause the people of Elam to experience great disasters. I will enable their enemies, who want to kill them, to pursue them [and kill them] with swords until I completely get rid of all of them.
Èmi yóò kẹ́gàn Elamu níwájú àwọn ọ̀tá wọn, àti níwájú àwọn tí wọ́n ń wá ẹ̀mí wọn, Èmi yóò mú ibi wá sí orí wọn, àní, ìbínú gbígbóná mi,” bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Olúwa wí. “Èmi yóò lé wọn pẹ̀lú idà, di ìgbà tí èmi yóò rẹ́yìn wọn.
38 I, Yahweh, will judge them there [MTY], and [then] I will get rid of their king and [his] officials.
Èmi yóò sì gbé ìtẹ́ mi kalẹ̀ ní Elamu, èmí yóò sì pa ọba wọn àti ìjòyè wọn run,” báyìí ni Olúwa wí.
39 But some day, I will enable the people of Elam to return to their land. [That will surely happen because I, ] Yahweh, have said it.”
“Síbẹ̀, èmi yóò dá ìkólọ Elamu padà láìpẹ́ ọjọ́,” báyìí ni Olúwa wí.
