Jeremiah 17
1 “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.
Cursed is the man who trusts in man, and will lean his arm of flesh upon him, while his heart departs from the Lord.
2 Kódà àwọn ọmọ wọn rántí pẹpẹ àti ère Aṣerah lẹ́bàá igi tí ó tẹ́ rẹrẹ àti àwọn òkè gíga.
3 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 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 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 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.
And he shall be as the wild tamarisk in the desert: he shall not see when good comes; but he shall dwell in barren [places], and in the wilderness, in a salt land which is not inhabited.
7 “Ṣùgbọ́n ìbùkún ni fún ọkùnrin náà tí ó gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Olúwa, tí ó sì fi Olúwa ṣe ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé rẹ̀.
But blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord shall be.
8 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.”
And he shall be as a thriving tree by the waters, and he shall cast forth his root toward a moist place: he shall not fear when heat comes, and there shall be upon him shady branches: he shall not fear in a year of drought, and he shall not fail to bear fruit.
9 Ọkàn ènìyàn kún fún ẹ̀tàn ju ohun gbogbo lọ, ó kọjá ohun tí a lè wòsàn. Ta ni èyí lè yé?
The heart is deep beyond all things, and it is the man, and who can know him?
10 “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.”
I the Lord try the hearts, and prove the reins, to give to every one according to his ways, and according to the fruits of his devices.
11 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.
The partridge utters her voice, she gathers [eggs] which she did not lay; [so is a man] gaining his wealth unjustly; in the midst of his days [his riches] shall leave him, and at his latter end he will be a fool.
12 Ìtẹ́ ògo; ibi gíga láti ìpilẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ní ibi ilé mímọ́ wa.
An exalted throne of glory is our sanctuary.
13 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.
O Lord, the hope of Israel, let all that have left thee be ashamed, let them that have revolted be written on the earth, because they have forsaken the fountain of life, the Lord.
14 Wò mí sàn Olúwa, èmi yóò di ẹni ìwòsàn, gbà mí là, èmi yóò di ẹni ìgbàlà, nítorí ìwọ ni ìyìn mi.
Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved; for thou art my boast.
15 Wọ́n sọ fún mi wí pé: “Níbo ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa wà? Jẹ́ kí ó di ìmúṣẹ báyìí.” Ni Olúwa wí.
Behold, they say to me, Where is the word of the Lord? let it come.
16 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.
But I have not been weary of following thee, nor have I desired the day of man; thou knowest; the [words] that proceed out of my lips are before thy face.
17 Má ṣe di ìbẹ̀rù fún mi, ìwọ ni ààbò mi ní ọjọ́ ìpọ́njú.
Be not to me a stranger, [but] spare me in the evil day.
18 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.
Let them that persecute me be ashamed, but let me not be ashamed: let them be alarmed, but let me not be alarmed: bring upon them the evil day, crush them with double destruction.
19 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.
Thus saith the Lord; Go and stand in the gates of the children of thy people, by which the kings of Juda enter, and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem:
20 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.
and thou shalt say to them, Hear the word of the Lord, ye kings of Juda, and all Judea, and all Jerusalem, [all] who go in at these gates:
21 Báyìí ni Olúwa wí, “Ẹ kíyèsi láti máa ru ẹrù lọ́jọ́ ìsinmi tàbí kí ẹ gbé wọlé láti ẹnu ibodè Jerusalẹmu.
thus saith the Lord; Take heed to your souls, and take up no burdens on the sabbath-day, and go not forth [through] the gates of Jerusalem;
22 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.”
and carry forth no burdens out of your houses on the sabbath-day, and ye shall do no work: sanctify the sabbath-day, as I commanded your fathers.
23 Síbẹ̀ wọn kò gbọ́ tàbí tẹ́tí sílẹ̀, wọ́n jẹ́ ọlọ́rùn líle; wọn kì í fẹ́ gbọ́ tàbí gba ìbáwí.
But they hearkened not, and inclined not their ear, but stiffened their neck more than their fathers [did], so as not to hear me, and not to receive correction.
24 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.
And it shall come to pass, if ye will hearken to me, saith the Lord, to carry in no burdens through the gates of this city on the sabbath-day, and to sanctify the sabbath-day, so as to do no work [upon it],
25 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.
that there shall enter through the gates of this city kings and princes sitting on the throne of David, and riding on their chariots and horses, they, and their princes, the men of Juda, and the dwellers in Jerusalem: and this city shall be inhabited for ever.
26 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.
And [men] shall come out of the cities of Juda, and from round about Jerusalem, and out of the land of Benjamin, and out of the plain country, and from the hill country, and from the south [country], bringing whole-burnt-offerings, and sacrifices, and incense, and manna, and frankincense, bringing praise to the house of the Lord.
27 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.’”
But it shall come to pass, if ye will not hearken to me to sanctify the sabbath-day, to bear no burdens, nor go in [with them by] the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath-day; then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour the streets of Jerusalem, and shall not be quenched.
