Jeremiah 11
1 Èyí ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tí ó tọ Jeremiah wá:
The word that came to Jeremiah 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.
Hear ye the words of this covenant, and speak unto the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
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 unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel; Cursed [be] the man that obeyeth not the words of this covenant,
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 your fathers in the day [that] I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, Obey my voice, and do them, according to all which I command 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 perform the oath which I have sworn unto your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as [it is] this day. Then answered I, and said, 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 said unto me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear ye the words of this covenant, and do 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 earnestly protested unto your fathers in the day [that] I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, [even] unto this day, rising early and protesting, saying, Obey my voice.
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.’”
Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every one in the imagination of their evil heart: therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded [them] to do; but they did [them] 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 said unto me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
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 back to the iniquities of their forefathers, which refused to hear my words; and they went after other gods to serve them: the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant 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 saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall cry unto me, I will not hearken unto 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 Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem go, and cry unto the gods unto whom they offer incense: but they shall not save them at all in the 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 Judah; and [according to] the number of the streets of Jerusalem have ye set up altars to [that] shameful thing, [even] altars to burn incense unto 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.
Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up a cry or prayer for them: for I will not hear [them] in the time that they cry unto me for their trouble.
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 hath my beloved to do in mine house, [seeing] she hath wrought lewdness with many, and the holy flesh is passed from thee? when thou doest evil, then thou rejoicest.
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 green olive tree, fair, [and] of goodly fruit: with the noise of a great tumult he hath kindled fire upon 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 hosts, that planted thee, hath pronounced evil against thee, for the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done against themselves to provoke me to anger in offering incense unto 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 given me knowledge [of it], and I know [it: ] then thou shewedst me their doings.
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 lamb [or] an ox [that] is brought to the slaughter; and I knew not that they had devised devices against me, [saying], Let us destroy the tree with the fruit thereof, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered.
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 hosts, that judgest righteously, that triest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for unto thee have I revealed 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.’
Therefore thus saith the LORD of the men of Anathoth, that seek thy life, saying, Prophesy not in the name of the LORD, that thou die not by our hand:
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.
Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will punish them: the young men shall die by the sword; their sons 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 there shall be no remnant of them: for I will bring evil upon the men of Anathoth, [even] the year of their visitation.
