Jeremiah 11
1 Èyí ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tí ó tọ Jeremiah wá:
The worde that came to Ieremiah from the Lord, saying,
2 “Fetísílẹ̀ sí ọ̀rọ̀ májẹ̀mú yìí, kí o sì sọ wọ́n fún àwọn ènìyàn Juda, àti gbogbo àwọn tó ń gbé ni Jerusalẹmu.
Heare ye the wordes of this couenant, and speake vnto the men of Iudah, and to the inhabitants of Ierusalem,
3 Sọ fún wọn wí pé èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí: ‘Ègbé ni fún ẹni náà tí kò pa ọ̀rọ̀ májẹ̀mú yìí mọ́.
And say thou vnto them, Thus sayeth the Lord God of Israel, Cursed be the man that obeyeth not the wordes of this couenant,
4 Àwọn májẹ̀mú tí mo pàṣẹ fún àwọn baba ńlá yín, nígbà tí mo mú wọn jáde láti Ejibiti, láti inú iná alágbẹ̀dẹ wá.’ Mo wí pé, ‘Ẹ gbọ́ tèmi, kí ẹ sì ṣe ohun gbogbo tí mo pàṣẹ fún un yín. Ẹ̀yin ó sì jẹ́ ènìyàn mi, Èmi ó sì jẹ́ Ọlọ́run yín.
Which I commanded vnto your fathers, when I brought them out of the lande of Egypt, from the yron fornace, saying, Obey my voyce, and doe according to all these things, which I commande you: so shall ye be my people, and I will be your God,
5 Nígbà náà ni Èmi ó sì mú ìlérí tí mo búra fún àwọn baba ńlá yín ṣẹ; láti fún wọn ní ilẹ̀ tí ó ń sàn fún wàrà àti fún oyin,’ ilẹ̀ tí ẹ ní lónìí.” Mo sì dáhùn wí pé, “Àmín, Olúwa.”
That I may confirme the othe, that I haue sworne vnto your fathers, to giue them a lande, which floweth with milke and hony, as appeareth this day. Then answered I and sayde, So be it, O Lord.
6 Olúwa wí fún mi pé, “Kéde gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ yìí ní àwọn ìlú Juda àti ní gbogbo òpópónà ìgboro Jerusalẹmu pé, ‘Ẹ gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ májẹ̀mú yìí, kí ẹ sì se wọn.
Then the Lord saide vnto me, Cry all these words in the cities of Iudah, and in the streetes of Ierusalem, saying, Heare yee the words of this couenant, and doe them.
7 Láti ìgbà tí mo ti mú àwọn baba yín jáde láti ilẹ̀ Ejibiti wá títí di òní, mo kìlọ̀ fún wọn lọ́pọ̀ ìgbà wí pé, “Ẹ gbọ́ tèmi.”
For I haue protested vnto your fathers, whe I brought them vp out of the land of Egypt vnto this day, rising earely and protesting, saying, Obey my voyce.
8 Ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò gbọ́, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọn kò kọbi ara sí i dípò èyí wọ́n tẹ̀síwájú ni agídí ọkàn wọn. Mo sì mú gbogbo ègún inú májẹ̀mú tí mo ti ṣèlérí, tí mo sì ti pàṣẹ fún wọn láti tẹ̀lé, tí wọn kò tẹ̀lé wa sórí wọn.’”
Neuerthelesse they would not obey, nor encline their eare: but euery one walked in the stubbernesse of his wicked heart: therefore I will bring vpon them all the wordes of this couenant, which I commanded them to do, but they did it not.
9 Olúwa sì wí fún mi pé, “Ọ̀tẹ̀ kan wà láàrín àwọn ará Juda àti àwọn tí ń gbé ní Jerusalẹmu.
And the Lord sayd vnto me, A conspiracie is found among the men of Iudah, and among the inhabitants of Ierusalem.
10 Wọ́n ti padà sí ìdí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àwọn baba ńlá wọn tí wọn kọ̀ láti tẹ́tí sí ọ̀rọ̀ mi, wọ́n ti tẹ̀lé àwọn ọlọ́run mìíràn láti sìn wọ́n. Ilé Israẹli àti ilé Juda ti ba májẹ̀mú tí mo dá pẹ̀lú àwọn baba ńlá wọn jẹ́.
They are turned backe to the iniquities of their forefathers, which refused to heare my wordes: and they went after other gods to serue them: thus the house of Israel, and the house of Iudah haue broken my couenant, which I made with their fathers.
11 Nítorí náà, èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí: ‘Èmi yóò mu ibi tí wọn kò ní le è yẹ̀ wá sórí wọn, bí wọ́n tilẹ̀ ké pè mí èmi kì yóò fetí sí igbe wọn.
Therefore thus sayth the Lord, Beholde, I will bring a plague vpon them, which they shall not be able to escape, and though they crye vnto me, I will not heare them.
12 Àwọn ìlú Juda àti àwọn ará Jerusalẹmu yóò lọ kégbe sí àwọn òrìṣà tí wọ́n ń sun tùràrí sí; àwọn òrìṣà náà kò ní ràn wọ́n lọ́wọ́ ní ìgbà tí ìpọ́njú náà bá dé.
Then shall the cities of Iudah, and the inhabitants of Ierusalem goe, and crie vnto the gods vnto whome they offer incense, but they shall not bee able to helpe them in time of their trouble.
13 Ìwọ Juda, bí iye àwọn ìlú rẹ, bẹ́ẹ̀ iye àwọn òrìṣà rẹ; bẹ́ẹ̀ ni iye pẹpẹ tí ẹ̀yin ti tẹ́ fún sísun tùràrí Baali ohun ìtìjú n nì ṣe pọ̀ bí iye òpópónà tí ó wà ní Jerusalẹmu.’
For according to the number of thy cities were thy gods, O Iudah, and according to the number of the streetes of Ierusalem haue yee set vp altars of confusion, euen altars to burne incense vnto Baal.
14 “Má ṣe gbàdúrà fún àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí tàbí kí o bẹ̀bẹ̀ fún wọn, nítorí pé, Èmi kì yóò dẹtí sí wọn nígbà tí wọ́n bá ké pè mí ní ìgbà ìpọ́njú.
Therfore thou shalt not pray for this people, neither lift vp a crie, or prayer for them: for when they cry vnto mee in their trouble, I will not heare them.
15 “Kí ni olùfẹ́ mi ní í ṣe ní tẹmpili mi, bí òun àti àwọn mìíràn ṣe ń hu oríṣìíríṣìí ìwà àrékérekè? Ǹjẹ́ ẹran tí a yà sọ́tọ̀ lè mú ìjìyà kúrò lórí rẹ̀? Nígbà tí ó bá ń ṣe iṣẹ́ búburú rẹ̀, nígbà náà jẹ́ kí inú rẹ̀ kí ó dùn.”
What shoulde my beloued tarie in mine house, seeing they haue committed abomination with manie? and the holy flesh goeth away from thee: yet when thou doest euill, thou reioycest.
16 Olúwa pè ọ́ ní igi olifi pẹ̀lú èso rẹ tí ó dára ní ojú. Ṣùgbọ́n pẹ̀lú ìrọ́kẹ̀kẹ̀ ìjì líle ọ̀wọ́-iná ni yóò sun ún tí àwọn ẹ̀ka rẹ̀ yóò sì di gígé kúrò.
The Lord called thy name, A greene oliue tree, faire, and of goodly fruite: but with noyse and great tumult he hath set fyre vpon it, and the branches of it are broken.
17 Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun tí ó dá ọ ti kéde ibi sí ọ, nítorí ilé Israẹli àti Juda ti ṣe ohun ibi, wọ́n sì ti mú inú bí mi, wọ́n ti ru ìbínú mi sókè nípa sísun tùràrí si Baali.
For the Lord of hostes that planted thee, hath pronounced a plague against thee, for the wickednes of the house of Israel, and of the house of Iudah, which they haue done against themselues to prouoke me to anger in offering incense vnto Baal.
18 Nítorí Olúwa fi ọ̀tẹ̀ wọn hàn mí mo mọ̀ ọ́n; nítorí ní àsìkò náà ó fi ohun tí wọ́n ń ṣe hàn mí.
And the Lord hath taught me, and I knowe it, euen then thou shewedst mee their practises.
19 Mo ti dàbí ọ̀dọ́-àgùntàn jẹ́ẹ́jẹ́ tí a mú lọ fún pípa; n kò mọ̀ pé wọ́n ti gbìmọ̀ búburú sí mi wí pé: “Jẹ́ kí a run igi àti èso rẹ̀; jẹ́ kí a gé e kúrò ní orí ilẹ̀ alààyè, kí a má lè rántí orúkọ rẹ̀ mọ́.”
But I was like a lambe, or a bullocke, that is brought to the slaughter, and I knewe not that they had deuised thus against me, saying, Let vs destroy the tree with the fruite thereof, and cut him out of the lande of the liuing, that his name may be no more in memory.
20 Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun, tí ó ń ṣe ìdájọ́ òdodo, tí ó ń ṣe àyẹ̀wò ẹ̀mí àti ọkàn, jẹ́ kí n rí ẹ̀san rẹ lórí wọn; nítorí ìwọ ni mo fi ọ̀rọ̀ mi lé lọ́wọ́.
But O Lord of hostes, that iudgest righteously, and triest the reines and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for vnto thee haue I opened my cause.
21 “Nítorí náà, èyí ni ohun tí Ọlọ́run sọ nípa àwọn arákùnrin Anatoti tí wọ́n ń lépa ẹ̀mí rẹ̀, tí wọ́n ń wí pé, ‘Má ṣe sọ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ ní orúkọ Olúwa, bí bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́ ìwọ ó kú láti ọwọ́ wa.’
The Lord therefore speaketh thus of the men of Anathoth, (that seeke thy life, and say, Prophecie not in the Name of the Lord, that thou die not by our hands)
22 Nítorí náà, èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun sọ pé, ‘Èmi yóò fì ìyà jẹ wọ́n, àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin wọn yóò tipasẹ̀ idà kú, ìyàn yóò pa àwọn ọmọkùnrin àti ọmọbìnrin wọn.
Thus therefore sayth the Lord of hostes, Beholde, I will visite them: the yong men shall die by the sword: their sonnes and their daughters shall die by famine,
23 Kò ní ṣẹ́kù ohunkóhun sílẹ̀ fún wọn nítorí èmi yóò mú ibi wá sórí àwọn ènìyàn Anatoti ní ọdún ìbẹ̀wò wọn.’”
And none of them shall remaine: for I will bring a plague vpon the men of Anathoth, euen the yeere of their visitation.
