Judges 2
1 The LORD’s angel came up from Gilgal to Bochim. He said, “I brought you out of Egypt, and have brought you to the land which I swore to give your fathers. I said, ‘I will never break my covenant with you.
Ní ọjọ́ kan angẹli Olúwa dìde kúrò láti Gilgali lọ sí Bokimu ó sì wí pé, “Èmi mú un yín gòkè láti ilẹ̀ Ejibiti wá, èmi sì síwájú yín wá sí ilẹ̀ tí mo ti búra láti fi fún àwọn baba ńlá yín. Èmi sì wí pé, ‘Èmi kì yóò yẹ májẹ̀mú mi pẹ̀lú yín,
2 You shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land. You shall break down their altars.’ But you have not listened to my voice. Why have you done this?
ẹ̀yin kò gbọdọ̀ bá àwọn ènìyàn ilẹ̀ yí dá májẹ̀mú àlàáfíà, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin yóò wó pẹpẹ ibi ìsin òrìṣà wọn lulẹ̀.’ Síbẹ̀ ẹ̀yin ṣe àìgbọ́ràn sí mi. Èéṣe tí ẹ̀yin fi ṣe èyí?
3 Therefore I also said, ‘I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be in your sides, and their gods will be a snare to you.’”
Ní báyìí, èmi wí fún un yín pé, èmi kì yóò lé àwọn ènìyàn jáde kúrò níwájú yín; ṣùgbọ́n wọn yóò jẹ́ ẹ̀gún ní ìhà yín, àwọn òrìṣà wọn yóò sì jẹ́ ìdánwò fún un yín.”
4 When the LORD’s angel spoke these words to all the children of Israel, the people lifted up their voice and wept.
Bí angẹli Olúwa sì ti sọ gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí fún àwọn ará Israẹli tan, àwọn ènìyàn náà sì gbé ohùn wọn sókè wọ́n sì sọkún kíkorò,
5 They called the name of that place Bochim, and they sacrificed there to the LORD.
wọ́n sì pe orúkọ ibẹ̀ ní Bokimu (ibi tí àwọn ènìyàn ti sọkún). Wọ́n sì rú ẹbọ sí Olúwa níbẹ̀.
6 Now when Joshua had sent the people away, the children of Israel each went to his inheritance to possess the land.
Lẹ́yìn tí Joṣua ti tú àwọn ènìyàn Israẹli ká, àwọn ẹ̀yà Israẹli kọ̀ọ̀kan lọ sí ilẹ̀ tí a fi fún wọn láti lọ gbà á ní ìní wọn.
7 The people served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great work of the LORD that he had worked for Israel.
Àwọn ènìyàn náà sin Olúwa ní gbogbo ìgbà ayé Joṣua àti ní gbogbo ọjọ́ àwọn àgbàgbà tí ó wà lẹ́yìn ikú rẹ̀ tí wọ́n sì rí gbogbo iṣẹ́ ńlá tí Olúwa ṣe fún Israẹli.
8 Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being one hundred ten years old.
Joṣua ọmọ Nuni, ìránṣẹ́ Olúwa, kú ní ẹni àádọ́fà ọdún.
9 They buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnath Heres, in the hill country of Ephraim, on the north of the mountain of Gaash.
Wọ́n sì sìnkú rẹ̀ sí ààlà ilẹ̀ ìní rẹ̀ ní Timnati-Hereki ní ilẹ̀ òkè Efraimu ní àríwá òkè Gaaṣi.
10 After all that generation were gathered to their fathers, another generation arose after them who didn’t know the LORD, nor the work which he had done for Israel.
Ní ìgbẹ̀yìn, gbogbo ìran náà sì kú; àwọn ìran tí ó tẹ̀lé wọn kò sì sin Olúwa nítorí wọn kò mọ Olúwa, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọn kò mọ ohun tí Olúwa ṣe fún Israẹli.
11 The children of Israel did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, and served the Baals.
Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sì ṣe ohun tí ó burú níwájú Olúwa, wọ́n sì ń sin òrìṣà Baali.
12 They abandoned the LORD, the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the peoples who were around them, and bowed themselves down to them; and they provoked the LORD to anger.
Wọ́n kọ Olúwa Ọlọ́run àwọn baba wọn sílẹ̀, ẹni tí ó mú wọn jáde kúrò ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti, wọ́n ń tọ àwọn òrìṣà lẹ́yìn, wọ́n sì ń sin àwọn oríṣìíríṣìí òrìṣà àwọn ará ilẹ̀ ibi tí wọ́n ń gbé, wọ́n sì mú Olúwa bínú,
13 They abandoned the LORD, and served Baal and the Ashtaroth.
nítorí tí wọ́n kọ̀ Olúwa sílẹ̀ àti nítorí pé wọ́n ń sin Baali àti Aṣtoreti.
14 The LORD’s anger burned against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of raiders who plundered them. He sold them into the hands of their enemies all around, so that they could no longer stand before their enemies.
Nínú ìbínú rẹ̀ sí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli Olúwa fi wọ́n lé àwọn akónisìn lọ́wọ́ tí ó kó wọn ní ẹrú, tí ó sì bà wọ́n jẹ́. Ó sì tà wọ́n fún àwọn ọ̀tá wọn tí ó yí wọn ká àwọn ẹni tí wọn kò le dúró dè láti kọ ojú ìjà sí.
15 Wherever they went out, the LORD’s hand was against them for evil, as the LORD had spoken, and as the LORD had sworn to them; and they were very distressed.
Nígbàkígbà tí àwọn Israẹli bá jáde lọ sí ojú ogun láti jà, ọwọ́ Olúwa sì wúwo ní ara wọn, àwọn ọ̀tá a sì borí wọn, àní gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti búra fún wọn. Wọ́n sì wà nínú ìpọ́njú púpọ̀.
16 The LORD raised up judges, who saved them out of the hand of those who plundered them.
Olúwa sì gbé àwọn onídàájọ́ dìde tí ó gbà wọ́n sílẹ̀ lọ́wọ́ àwọn tí ń kó wọn lẹ́rú.
17 Yet they didn’t listen to their judges; for they prostituted themselves to other gods, and bowed themselves down to them. They quickly turned away from the way in which their fathers walked, obeying the LORD’s commandments. They didn’t do so.
Síbẹ̀síbẹ̀ wọn kò fi etí sí ti àwọn onídàájọ́ wọn, ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n ṣe àgbèrè, wọ́n ń sin òrìṣà. Wọn kò dàbí àwọn baba wọn, kíákíá ni wọ́n yípadà kúrò lọ́nà tí àwọn baba wọ́n ń tọ̀, ọ̀nà ìgbọ́ràn sí àwọn òfin Olúwa.
18 When the LORD raised up judges for them, then the LORD was with the judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for it grieved the LORD because of their groaning by reason of those who oppressed them and troubled them.
Nígbà kí ìgbà tí Olúwa bá gbé onídàájọ́ dìde fún wọn, Olúwa máa ń wà pẹ̀lú onídàájọ́ náà, a sì gbà wọ́n kúrò ní ọwọ́ àwọn ọ̀tá wọn ní ìwọ̀n ìgbà tí onídàájọ́ náà bá wà láààyè nítorí àánú Olúwa wà ní ara wọn, nígbà tí wọ́n bá ké ìrora lábẹ́ àwọn tí ń tẹrí wọn ba, tí sì ń fi ìyà jẹ wọ́n.
19 But when the judge was dead, they turned back, and dealt more corruptly than their fathers in following other gods to serve them and to bow down to them. They didn’t cease what they were doing, or give up their stubborn ways.
Ṣùgbọ́n ní kété tí onídàájọ́ bá ti kú, àwọn ènìyàn náà a sì tún padà sí ọ̀nà ìbàjẹ́ àní ju ti àwọn baba wọn lọ, wọn a tẹ̀lé òrìṣà, wọ́n ń sìn wọ́n, wọn a sì foríbalẹ̀ fún wọn, wọ́n kọ̀ láti yàgò kúrò ní ọ̀nà ibi wọn àti agídí ọkàn wọn.
20 The LORD’s anger burned against Israel; and he said, “Because this nation transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and has not listened to my voice,
Ìbínú Olúwa yóò sì tún ru sí Israẹli a sì wí pé, “Nítorí tí orílẹ̀-èdè yìí ti yẹ májẹ̀mú tí mo fi lélẹ̀ fún àwọn baba ńlá wọn, tí wọn kò sì fetí sí mi,
21 I also will no longer drive out any of the nations that Joshua left when he died from before them;
Èmi kì yóò lé ọ̀kankan nínú àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí Joṣua fi sílẹ̀ nígbà tí ó kú jáde.
22 that by them I may test Israel, to see if they will keep the LORD’s way to walk therein, as their fathers kept it, or not.”
Ṣùgbọ́n dípò bẹ́ẹ̀ èmi yóò lo àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè yìí láti fi dán Israẹli wò, láti mọ̀ bóyá wọ́n yóò pa ọ̀nà Olúwa mọ́ àti pé bóyá wọn ó rìn nínú rẹ̀ bí àwọn baba ńlá wọn ti rìn.”
23 So the LORD left those nations, without driving them out hastily. He didn’t deliver them into Joshua’s hand.
Nítorí náà Olúwa fi àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè náà sílẹ̀ ní ilẹ̀ náà kò sì lé wọn jáde, tàbí kí ó jẹ́ kí àwọn Israẹli pa wọ́n run, bẹ́ẹ̀ kò sì fi wọ́n lé Joṣua lọ́wọ́.
