Jeremiah 31
1 “At that time,” says the LORD, “I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they will be my people.”
“Nígbà náà, Èmi yóò jẹ́ Ọlọ́run fún gbogbo ìdílé ìran Israẹli, àwọn náà yóò sì jẹ́ ènìyàn mi,” ni Olúwa wí.
2 The LORD says, “The people who survive the sword found favor in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest.”
Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí: “Àwọn ènìyàn tí ó sá àsálà lọ́wọ́ idà yóò rí ojúrere Olúwa ní aṣálẹ̀, Èmi yóò sì fi ìsinmi fún Israẹli.”
3 The LORD appeared of old to me, saying, “Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love. Therefore I have drawn you with loving kindness.
Olúwa ti fi ara rẹ̀ hàn wá ní ìgbà kan rí, ó wí pé: “Èmi ti nífẹ̀ẹ́ yín pẹ̀lú ìfẹ́ àìlópin; mo ti fi ìfẹ́ ńlá fà yín,
4 I will build you again, and you will be built, O virgin of Israel. You will again be adorned with your tambourines, and will go out in the dances of those who make merry.
Èmi yóò tún gbé e yín sókè, àní a ó tún gbé e yín ró ìwọ wúńdíá ilẹ̀ Israẹli. Àní ẹ ó tún tún ohun èlò orin yín gbé, ẹ ó sì jáde síta pẹ̀lú ijó àti ayọ̀.
5 Again you will plant vineyards on the mountains of Samaria. The planters will plant, and will enjoy its fruit.
Ẹ ó tún gbin ọgbà àjàrà ní orí òkè Samaria; àwọn àgbẹ̀ yóò sì máa gbádùn èso oko wọn.
6 For there will be a day that the watchmen on the hills of Ephraim cry, ‘Arise! Let’s go up to Zion to the LORD our God.’”
Ọjọ́ kan máa wà tí àwọn olùṣọ́ yóò kígbe jáde lórí òkè Efraimu wí pé, ‘Ẹ wá, ẹ jẹ́ kí a gòkè lọ sí Sioni, ní ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa.’”
7 For the LORD says, “Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout for the chief of the nations. Publish, praise, and say, ‘LORD, save your people, the remnant of Israel!’
Èyí ni ọ̀rọ̀ tí Olúwa sọ wí pé: “Ẹ fi ayọ̀ kọrin sí Jakọbu; ẹ hó sí olórí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè gbogbo. Jẹ́ kí wọ́n gbọ́ ìyìn rẹ kí o sì wí pé, ‘Olúwa, gba àwọn ènìyàn rẹ là; àwọn tí ó ṣẹ́kù ní Israẹli.’
8 Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the uttermost parts of the earth, along with the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her who travails with child together. They will return as a great company.
Wò ó, Èmi yóò mú wọn wá láti ilẹ̀ àríwá; èmi yóò kó gbogbo wọn jọ láti òpin ayé. Lára wọn ni yóò jẹ́ afọ́jú àti arọ, aboyún àti obìnrin tí ń rọbí, ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn yóò wá.
9 They will come with weeping. I will lead them with petitions. I will cause them to walk by rivers of waters, in a straight way in which they won’t stumble; for I am a father to Israel. Ephraim is my firstborn.
Wọn yóò wá pẹ̀lú ẹkún, wọn yóò gbàdúrà bí Èmi yóò ṣe mú wọn padà. Èmi yóò jẹ́ atọ́nà fún wọn ní ẹ̀bá odò omi; ní ọ̀nà tí ó tẹ́jú tí wọn kì yóò le ṣubú, nítorí èmi ni baba Israẹli, Efraimu sì ni àkọ́bí ọkùnrin mi.
10 “Hear the LORD’s word, you nations, and declare it in the distant islands. Say, ‘He who scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd does his flock.’
“Ẹ gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa ẹ̀yin orílẹ̀-èdè ẹ kéde rẹ̀ ní erékùṣù jíjìn; ‘Ẹni tí ó bá tú Israẹli ká yóò kójọ, yóò sì ṣọ́ agbo rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí olùṣọ́-àgùntàn.’
11 For the LORD has ransomed Jacob, and redeemed him from the hand of him who was stronger than he.
Nítorí Olúwa ti tú Jakọbu sílẹ̀, o sì rà á padà ní ọwọ́ àwọn tí ó lágbára jù ú lọ.
12 They will come and sing in the height of Zion, and will flow to the goodness of the LORD, to the grain, to the new wine, to the oil, and to the young of the flock and of the herd. Their soul will be as a watered garden. They will not sorrow any more at all.
Wọn yóò wá, wọn ó sì hó ìhó ayọ̀ lórí òkè Sioni; wọn yóò yọ ayọ̀ níbi oore Olúwa. Àlìkámà ni, ọtí wáìnì tuntun àti òróró ọ̀dọ́-àgùntàn àti ọ̀dọ́ ọ̀wọ́ ẹran. Wọn ó dàbí ọgbà àjàrà tí a bomirin, ìkorò kò ní bá wọn mọ́.
13 Then the virgin will rejoice in the dance, the young men and the old together; for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.
Àwọn wúńdíá yóò jó, wọn ó sì kún fún ayọ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ ni ọkùnrin àti obìnrin. Èmi yóò sọ ọ̀fọ̀ wọn di ayọ̀, dípò ìkorò èmi yóò tù wọ́n nínú. Èmi ó sì fún wọn ní ayọ̀.
14 I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people will be satisfied with my goodness,” says the LORD.
Èmi ó tẹ́ àwọn àlùfáà lọ́rùn pẹ̀lú ọ̀pọ̀; àwọn ènìyàn mi yóò sì kún fún oore mi,” ni Olúwa wí.
15 The LORD says: “A voice is heard in Ramah, lamentation and bitter weeping, Rachel weeping for her children. She refuses to be comforted for her children, because they are no more.”
Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí: “A gbọ́ ohùn kan ní Rama tí ń ṣọ̀fọ̀ pẹ̀lú ẹkún kíkorò. Rakeli ń sọkún àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀; kò gbà kí wọ́n tu òun nínú, nítorí àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ kò sí mọ́.”
16 The LORD says: “Refrain your voice from weeping, and your eyes from tears, for your work will be rewarded,” says the LORD. “They will come again from the land of the enemy.
Báyìí ni Olúwa wí: “Dá ohùn rẹ dúró nínú ẹkún àti ojú rẹ nínú omijé; nítorí a ó fi èrè sí iṣẹ́ rẹ,” ni Olúwa wí. “Wọn ó sì padà wá láti ilẹ̀ ọ̀tá.
17 There is hope for your latter end,” says the LORD. “Your children will come again to their own territory.
Nítorí ìrètí wà fún ọjọ́ iwájú rẹ,” ni Olúwa wí. “Àwọn ọmọ rẹ yóò padà wá sí ilẹ̀ wọn.
18 “I have surely heard Ephraim grieving thus, ‘You have chastised me, and I was chastised, as an untrained calf. Turn me, and I will be turned, for you are the LORD my God.
“Nítòótọ́, èmi ti gbọ́ ìpohùnréré Efraimu wí pé, ‘Ìwọ ti bá mi wí gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọmọ màlúù tí a kò kọ́ èmi sì ti gbọ́ ìbáwí. Rà mí padà, èmi yóò sì yípadà, nítorí ìwọ ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run mi.
19 Surely after that I was turned. I repented. After that I was instructed. I struck my thigh. I was ashamed, yes, even confounded, because I bore the reproach of my youth.’
Lẹ́yìn tí èmi ti yípadà, mo ronúpìwàdà, lẹ́yìn tí èmi ti wá mọ̀, èmi lu àyà mi. Ojú tì mí, mo sì dààmú; nítorí èmi gba èrè ẹ̀gàn ìgbà èwe mi.’
20 Is Ephraim my dear son? Is he a darling child? For as often as I speak against him, I still earnestly remember him. Therefore my heart yearns for him. I will surely have mercy on him,” says the LORD.
Efraimu kì í ha í ṣe ọmọkùnrin mi dáradára tí inú mi dùn sí bí? Bí èmi ti ń sọ̀rọ̀ sí i tó, síbẹ̀, èmi rántí rẹ̀. Nítorí náà, ọkàn mi ṣe ohun kan fún un, èmi káàánú gidigidi fún un,” ni Olúwa wí.
21 “Set up road signs. Make guideposts. Set your heart toward the highway, even the way by which you went. Turn again, virgin of Israel. Turn again to these your cities.
“Gbé àmì ojú ọ̀nà dìde, ṣe atọ́nà àmì, kíyèsi òpópó ọ̀nà geere ojú ọ̀nà tí ó ń gbà. Yípadà ìwọ wúńdíá Israẹli, padà sí àwọn ìlú rẹ.
22 How long will you go here and there, you backsliding daughter? For the LORD has created a new thing in the earth: a woman will encompass a man.”
Ìwọ yóò ti ṣìnà pẹ́ tó, ìwọ aláìṣòótọ́ ọmọbìnrin; Olúwa yóò dá ohun tuntun lórí ilẹ̀, ọmọbìnrin kan yóò yí ọkùnrin kan ká.”
23 The LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: “Yet again they will use this speech in the land of Judah and in its cities, when I reverse their captivity: ‘The LORD bless you, habitation of righteousness, mountain of holiness.’
Báyìí ni ohun tí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun Israẹli wí: “Nígbà tí èmi bá kó wọn dé láti ìgbèkùn; àwọn ènìyàn tí ó wà ní ilẹ̀ Juda àti ní àwọn ìlú rẹ̀ yóò tún lo àwọn ọ̀rọ̀ yìí lẹ́ẹ̀kan sí i; wí pé, ‘Kí Olúwa kí ó bùkún fún ọ, ìwọ ibùgbé òdodo, ìwọ òkè ìwà mímọ́.’
24 Judah and all its cities will dwell therein together, the farmers, and those who go about with flocks.
Àwọn ènìyàn yóò gbé papọ̀ ní Juda àti ní gbogbo àwọn ìlú rẹ̀; bákan náà ni àgbẹ̀ àti àwọn tí ń tẹ̀lé agbo ẹran wọn ká.
25 For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.”
Èmi yóò sọ aláàárẹ̀ di ọ̀tun, èmi yóò sì tẹ́ gbogbo ọkàn tí ń káàánú lọ́rùn.”
26 On this I awakened, and saw; and my sleep was sweet to me.

27 “Behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man and with the seed of animal.
“Wò ó, ọjọ́ ń bọ̀,” ni Olúwa wí, “nígbà tí èmi yóò gbin ilé Israẹli àti ilé Juda pẹ̀lú irúgbìn ọmọ ènìyàn àti ẹranko.
28 It will happen that, like as I have watched over them to pluck up and to break down and to overthrow and to destroy and to afflict, so I will watch over them to build and to plant,” says the LORD.
Gẹ́gẹ́ bí mo ṣe ń ṣọ́ wọn, láti fàtu, àti láti wó lulẹ̀, àti láti gba ìṣàkóso, láti bàjẹ́ àti láti mú ibi wá, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi yóò ṣọ́ wọn láti kọ́ àti láti gbìn,” ni Olúwa wí.
29 “In those days they will say no more, “‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge.’
“Ní ọjọ́ wọ̀n-ọn-nì àwọn ènìyàn kò ní sọ mọ́ pé: “‘Àwọn baba ti jẹ èso àjàrà àìpọ́n àti pé eyín kan àwọn ọmọdé.’
30 But everyone will die for his own iniquity. Every man who eats the sour grapes, his teeth will be set on edge.
Ṣùgbọ́n olúkúlùkù ni yóò kú fún ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ̀, ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá jẹ èso kíkan ni eyín yóò kan.
31 “Behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah,
“Ìgbà kan ń bọ̀,” ni Olúwa wí, “tí Èmi yóò bá ilé Israẹli àti ilé Juda dá májẹ̀mú tuntun.
32 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, which covenant of mine they broke, although I was a husband to them,” says the LORD.
Kò ní dàbí májẹ̀mú tí mo bá àwọn baba ńlá wọn dá, nígbà tí mo fà wọ́n lọ́wọ́, tí mo mú wọn jáde ní Ejibiti nítorí wọ́n da májẹ̀mú mi. Lóòótọ́ ọkọ ni èmi jẹ́ fún wọn,” ni Olúwa wí.
33 “But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” says the LORD: “I will put my law in their inward parts, and I will write it in their heart. I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
“Èyí ni májẹ̀mú tí èmi yóò bá ilé Israẹli dá lẹ́yìn ìgbà náà,” ni Olúwa wí pé: “Èmi yóò fi òfin mi sí ọkàn wọn, èmi ó sì kọ ọ́ sí àyà wọn. Èmi ó jẹ́ Olúwa wọn; àwọn ó sì jẹ́ ènìyàn mi.
34 They will no longer each teach his neighbor, and every man teach his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD;’ for they will all know me, from their least to their greatest,” says the LORD, “for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”
Kò ní sí pé ọkùnrin kan ń kọ́ àwọn ará ilé rẹ̀ tàbí ọkùnrin ń kọ́ arákùnrin rẹ̀ pé, ‘Ẹ mọ Olúwa,’ nítorí gbogbo wọn ni yóò mọ̀ mí láti ẹni kékeré wọn títí dé ẹni ńlá,” ni Olúwa wí. “Nítorí èmi ó dárí àìṣedéédéé wọn jì, èmi kò sì ní rántí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn mọ́.”
35 The LORD, who gives the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, who stirs up the sea, so that its waves roar— the LORD of Hosts is his name, says:
Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí: ẹni tí ó mú oòrùn tan ìmọ́lẹ̀ ní ọ̀sán, tí ó mú òṣùpá àti ìràwọ̀ ràn ní òru; tí ó rú omi Òkun sókè tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí ìjì rẹ̀ fi ń hó Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ni orúkọ rẹ̀.
36 “If these ordinances depart from before me,” says the LORD, “then the offspring of Israel also will cease from being a nation before me forever.”
“Àyàfi tí ìlànà yìí bá kúrò níwájú mi,” ni Olúwa wí. “Ǹjẹ́ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli yóò dẹ́kun láti jẹ́ orílẹ̀-èdè níwájú mi láéláé.”
37 The LORD says: “If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, then I will also cast off all the offspring of Israel for all that they have done,” says the LORD.
Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí: “Àyàfi tí a bá lé àwọn ọ̀run lókè tí ìpìlẹ̀ ayé sì di àwárí ní ìsàlẹ̀, ni èmi yóò kọ àwọn Israẹli nítorí ohun gbogbo tí wọ́n ti ṣe,” ni Olúwa wí.
38 “Behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that the city will be built to the LORD from the tower of Hananel to the gate of the corner.
“Ọjọ́ náà ń bọ̀,” ni Olúwa wí, “tí wọn yóò tún ìlú yìí kọ́ fún mi láti ilé ìṣọ́ Hananeli dé igun ẹnu ibodè.

40 The whole valley of the dead bodies and of the ashes, and all the fields to the brook Kidron, to the corner of the horse gate toward the east, will be holy to the LORD. It will not be plucked up or thrown down any more forever.”
