Jeremiah 17
1 The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, With the point of a diamond, Graven on the tablet of their heart, And on the horns of your altars,
“Ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ Juda ni a fi kálámù irin kọ, èyí tí a fi ṣóńṣó òkúta adamante gbẹ́ ẹ, sórí wàláà oókan àyà wọn, àti sórí ìwo pẹpẹ yín.
2 As their sons remember their altars and their shrines, By the green tree, by the high hills.
Kódà àwọn ọmọ wọn rántí pẹpẹ àti ère Aṣerah lẹ́bàá igi tí ó tẹ́ rẹrẹ àti àwọn òkè gíga.
3 O My mountain in the field — thy strength, All thy treasures — for a prey I give, Thy high places for sin in all thy borders.
Àwọn òkè nínú ilẹ̀ àti àwọn ọrọ̀ rẹ̀ àti ọlá rẹ̀ ni èmi yóò fi sílẹ̀ bí ìjẹ pẹ̀lú àwọn ibi gíga, nítorí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ tí ó pọ̀ káàkiri orílẹ̀-èdè yín.
4 And thou hast let go — even through thyself, Of thine inheritance that I gave to thee, And I have caused thee to serve thine enemies, In a land that thou hast not known, For a fire ye have kindled in Mine anger, Unto the age it doth burn.
Láti ipasẹ̀ àìṣedéédéé yín ni ẹ̀yin yóò ti sọ ogún tí mo fún un yín nù. Èmi yóò fi yín fún ọ̀tá yín bí ẹrú ní ilẹ̀ tí ẹ̀yin kò mọ̀, nítorí ẹ̀yin ti mú inú bí mi, èyí tí yóò sì wà títí ayé.”
5 Thus said Jehovah: Cursed [is] the man who doth trust in man, And hath made flesh his arm, And from Jehovah whose heart turneth.
Báyìí ni Olúwa wí: “Ègbé ni fún àwọn tí ó fi ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé wọn sínú ènìyàn, tí ó fi agbára rẹ̀ sínú ẹran-ara, àti tí ọkàn rẹ̀ kò sí lọ́dọ̀ Olúwa.
6 And he hath been as a naked thing in a desert, And doth not see when good cometh, And hath inhabited parched places in a wilderness, A salt land, and not inhabited.
Yóò dàbí igbó tí ó wà ní ilẹ̀ aláìlọ́ràá, kò ní rí ìre, nígbà tí ó bá dé, yóò máa gbé ní ibi ìyàngbẹ ilẹ̀ aginjù, ní ilẹ̀ iyọ̀ tí ẹnikẹ́ni kò gbé.
7 Blessed [is] the man who trusteth in Jehovah, And whose confidence hath been Jehovah.
“Ṣùgbọ́n ìbùkún ni fún ọkùnrin náà tí ó gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Olúwa, tí ó sì fi Olúwa ṣe ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé rẹ̀.
8 And hath been as a tree planted by waters, And by a rivulet he sendeth forth his roots, And he doth not see when heat cometh, And his leaf hath been green, And in a year of dearth he is not sorrowful, Nor doth he cease from making fruit.
Yóò dàbí igi tí a gbìn sí ipadò tí ó ta gbòǹgbò rẹ̀ ká etí odò kò sí ìbẹ̀rù fún un nígbà ooru, gbogbo ìgbà ni èwe rẹ̀ máa ń tutù kò sí ìjayà fún un ní ọdún ọ̀dá bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò ní dẹ́kun láti máa so èso.”
9 Crooked [is] the heart above all things, And it [is] incurable — who doth know it?
Ọkàn ènìyàn kún fún ẹ̀tàn ju ohun gbogbo lọ, ó kọjá ohun tí a lè wòsàn. Ta ni èyí lè yé?
10 I Jehovah do search the heart, try the reins, Even to give to each according to his way, According to the fruit of his doings.
“Èmi Olúwa ń wo ọkàn àti èrò inú ọmọ ènìyàn, láti san èrè iṣẹ́ rẹ̀ fún un gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀nà rẹ̀, àti gẹ́gẹ́ bí iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ rẹ̀.”
11 A partridge hatching, and not bringing forth, [Is] one making wealth, and not by right, In the midst of his days he doth forsake it, And in his latter end — he is a fool.
Bí àparò tó pa ẹyin tí kò yé ni ọmọ ènìyàn tí ó kó ọrọ̀ jọ ni ọ̀nà àìṣòdodo. Yóò di ẹni ìkọ̀sílẹ̀ ní agbede-méjì ayé rẹ̀, àti ní òpin rẹ̀ yóò wá di aṣiwèrè.
12 A throne of honour on high from the beginning, The place of our sanctuary,
Ìtẹ́ ògo; ibi gíga láti ìpilẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ní ibi ilé mímọ́ wa.
13 The hope of Israel [is] Jehovah, All forsaking Thee are ashamed, And 'My apostates' in the earth are written, For they have forsaken Jehovah, A fountain of living waters.
Olúwa ìwọ ni ìrètí Israẹli; gbogbo àwọn tí ó kọ̀ ọ́ sílẹ̀ ni ojú ó tì. Àwọn tí ó padà sẹ́yìn kúrò lọ́dọ̀ rẹ ni a ó kọ orúkọ wọn sínú ekuru, nítorí wọ́n ti kọ Olúwa, orísun omi ìyè sílẹ̀.
14 Heal me, O Jehovah, and I am healed, Save me, and I am saved, for my praise [art] Thou.
Wò mí sàn Olúwa, èmi yóò di ẹni ìwòsàn, gbà mí là, èmi yóò di ẹni ìgbàlà, nítorí ìwọ ni ìyìn mi.
15 Lo, they are saying unto me: 'Where [is] the word of Jehovah? pray, let it come.'
Wọ́n sọ fún mi wí pé: “Níbo ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa wà? Jẹ́ kí ó di ìmúṣẹ báyìí.” Ni Olúwa wí.
16 And I hastened not from feeding after Thee, And the desperate day I have not desired, Thou — Thou hast known, The produce of my lips, before Thy face it hath been,
Èmi kò sá kúrò láti máa jẹ́ olùṣọ àgùntàn rẹ, ìwọ mọ̀ wí pé èmi kò kẹ̀rẹ̀ ní ọjọ́ ìpọ́njú. Ohun tí ó jáde ní ètè mi jẹ́ èyí tí ó hàn sí ọ.
17 Be not Thou to me for a terror, My hope [art] Thou in a day of evil.
Má ṣe di ìbẹ̀rù fún mi, ìwọ ni ààbò mi ní ọjọ́ ìpọ́njú.
18 Let my pursuers be ashamed, and let not me be ashamed — me! Let them be affrighted, and let not me be affrighted — me! Bring in on them a day of evil, And a second time [with] destruction destroy them.
Jẹ́ kí ojú ti àwọn ẹni tí ń lépa mi, ṣùgbọ́n pa mí mọ́ kúrò nínú ìtìjú, jẹ́ kí wọn kí ó dààmú. Mú ọjọ́ ibi wá sórí wọn, fi ìparun ìlọ́po méjì pa wọ́n run.
19 Thus said Jehovah unto me: 'Go, and thou hast stood in the gate of the sons of the people, by which kings of Judah come in, and by which they go out, and in all gates of Jerusalem,
Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí fún mi: “Lọ dúró ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà àwọn ènìyàn níbi tí àwọn ọba Juda ń gbà wọlé tí wọ́n ń gbà jáde àti ní gbogbo ẹnu-bodè Jerusalẹmu.
20 and thou hast said unto them: Hear a word of Jehovah, ye kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all inhabitants of Jerusalem, who are coming in by these gates,
Sọ fún wọ́n pé, ‘Ẹ gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa ẹ̀yin ọba Juda àti gbogbo ẹ̀yin ènìyàn Juda àti gbogbo ẹ̀yin tí ń gbé ní Jerusalẹmu tí ń wọlé láti ẹnu ibodè yìí.
21 Thus said Jehovah, Take ye heed to yourselves, And ye bear not a burden on the day of rest, Nor have ye brought [it] in by the gates of Jerusalem.
Báyìí ni Olúwa wí, “Ẹ kíyèsi láti máa ru ẹrù lọ́jọ́ ìsinmi tàbí kí ẹ gbé wọlé láti ẹnu ibodè Jerusalẹmu.
22 Nor do ye take out a burden from your houses on the day of rest, Yea, any work ye do not do, And ye have sanctified the day of rest, As I have commanded your fathers.
Má ṣe gbé ẹrù jáde kúrò nínú ilé yín, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kí ẹ má ṣe ṣe iṣẹ́kíṣẹ́ ní ọjọ́ ìsinmi ṣùgbọ́n kí ẹ pa ọjọ́ ìsinmi mọ́ fún àwọn baba ńlá yín.”
23 And they have not hearkened nor inclined their ear, And they stiffen their neck not to hear, And not to receive instruction.
Síbẹ̀ wọn kò gbọ́ tàbí tẹ́tí sílẹ̀, wọ́n jẹ́ ọlọ́rùn líle; wọn kì í fẹ́ gbọ́ tàbí gba ìbáwí.
24 And it hath been, if ye certainly hearken unto Me, An affirmation of Jehovah, So as not to bring in a burden By the gates of this city on the day of rest, And to sanctify the day of rest, So as not to do in it any work —
Ṣùgbọ́n tí ẹ̀yin bá kíyèsi láti gbọ́ tèmi ní Olúwa wí, tí ẹ kò sì gbe ẹrù gba ẹnu-bodè ìlú ní ọjọ́ ìsinmi, ṣùgbọ́n tí ẹ ya ọjọ́ ìsinmi, sí mímọ́, nípa pé ẹ kò ṣe iṣẹ́kíṣẹ́ ní ọjọ́ náà.
25 Then entered by the gates of this city have kings and princes, Sitting on the throne of David, Riding in a chariot, and on horses, They, and their princes, the man of Judah, And inhabitants of Jerusalem, And this city hath remained to the age.
Nígbà náà ni ọba tí ó jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ Dafidi yóò gba ẹnu ibodè wọlé pẹ̀lú àwọn ìjòyè rẹ̀. Àwọn àti ìjòyè wọn yóò gun ẹṣin àti kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ wá, àwọn ọkùnrin Juda àti àwọn olùgbé Jerusalẹmu yóò tẹ̀lé wọn; ìlú yìí yóò sì di ibi gbígbé títí láéláé.
26 And they have come in from cities of Judah, And from suburbs of Jerusalem, And from the land of Benjamin, And from the low country, And from the hill-country, and from the south, Bringing in burnt-offering, and sacrifice, And present, and frankincense, And bringing praise [to] the house of Jehovah.
Àwọn ènìyàn yóò wá láti ìlú Juda àti ní agbègbè Jerusalẹmu, láti ilẹ̀ Benjamini, láti pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀, àti láti òkè, àti láti gúúsù wá, wọn yóò wá pẹ̀lú ọrẹ ẹbọ sísun, àti ọrẹ ẹran, àti tùràrí, àti àwọn tó mú ìyìn wá sí ilé Olúwa.
27 And if ye do not hearken unto me to sanctify the day of rest, And so as not to bear a burden, And to come in at the gates of Jerusalem on the day of rest, Then I have kindled a fire in its gates, And it hath consumed the high places of Jerusalem, And it is not quenched!'
Ṣùgbọ́n bí ẹ̀yin kò bá pa òfin mi mọ́ láti ya ọjọ́ ìsinmi sí mímọ́, kí ẹ má sì ṣe ru ẹrùkẹ́rù bí ẹ̀yin yóò ṣe máa gba ẹnu ibodè Jerusalẹmu wọlé ní ọjọ́ ìsinmi, nígbà náà ni èmi yóò da iná tí kò ní ṣe é parun ní ẹnu-bodè Jerusalẹmu tí yóò sì jó odi agbára rẹ̀.’”
