Jeremiah 30
1 Ọ̀rọ̀ tí ó tọ Jeremiah wá láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa wá, wí pé:
Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
2 “Báyìí ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí, pé: ‘Ìwọ kọ gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ tí mo ti bá ọ sọ sínú ìwé kan.
“[I], Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli people [say they belong to], am telling you that you should write down everything that I have said to you.
3 Ọjọ́ ń bọ̀ nígbà tí ń ó mú àwọn ènìyàn mi, àwọn ọmọ Israẹli àti Juda kúrò nínú ìgbèkùn, tí n ó sì dá wọn padà sí orí ilẹ̀ tí mo fi fún àwọn baba ńlá wọn láti ní,’ ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run wí.”
[I want you to know that] some day I will free my people, [the people of] Israel and Judah, from being slaves [in Babylon]. I will bring them back to this land that I gave to their ancestors, and this land will belong to them again. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.”
4 Ìwọ̀nyí ni àwọn ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa Ọlọ́run sí Israẹli àti Juda:
Yahweh gave [to me] another message concerning [the people of] Israel and Judah.
5 “Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí: “‘Igbe ẹ̀rù àti ìwárìrì ni a gbọ́ láìṣe igbe àlàáfíà.
This is what he said: “I hear people screaming because they are terrified [DOU]; there is no peace [in the land].
6 Béèrè kí o sì rí. Ǹjẹ́ ọkùnrin le dá ọmọ bí? Èéṣe tí mo fi ń rí àwọn alágbára ọkùnrin tí wọ́n fi ọwọ́ wọn mú inú wọn bí obìnrin tó ń rọbí, tí ojú gbogbo wọ́n sì fàro fún ìrora?
But think about this: Men certainly do not [RHQ] give birth to babies. Therefore, why do strong men stand there, with their faces very white/pale, with their hands pressed against their stomachs, like women who are about to give birth to babies?
7 Ọjọ́ náà yóò ha ti burú tó! Kò sí ọjọ́ tí yóò dàbí rẹ̀, Ọjọ́ náà yóò jẹ́ àkókò ìdààmú fún Jakọbu ṣùgbọ́n yóò rí ìgbàlà kúrò nínú ìdààmú náà.
[Terrible things will soon happen]; that will be a terrible day! There has never been such a time. It will be a time when [my] Israeli people will experience great trouble, but [finally] they will be saved [from their sufferings].”
8 “‘Ní ọjọ́ náà,’ Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí pé, ‘Èmi yóò gbé àjàgà kúrò lọ́rùn wọn, Èmi yóò sì tú ìdè wọn sọnù. Àwọn àjèjì kì yóò sì mú ọ sìn wọ́n mọ́.
The Commander of the armies of angels says this: “At that time [it will be as though] I will sever/cut the ropes [that are around my people], and I will free them from being (slaves/forced to do what the King of Babylon wants them to do) [MET]. People in other countries will no longer be their bosses.
9 Dípò bẹ́ẹ̀ wọn yóò máa sin Olúwa Ọlọ́run wọn àti Dafidi gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọba wọn, ẹni tí èmi yóò gbé dìde fún wọn.
My people will [again] serve me, Yahweh, their God, and [they will serve a king who is a descendant of] King David; [they will serve the king] whom I will appoint for them.
10 “‘Nítorí náà, má ṣe bẹ̀rù, ìwọ Jakọbu ìránṣẹ́ mi, má sì ṣe jẹ́ kí ẹ̀rù bà ọ́, ìwọ Israẹli,’ ni Olúwa wí. ‘Èmi yóò gbà ọ́ kúrò láti ọ̀nà jíjìn wá, àní àwọn ìran rẹ láti ilẹ̀ àtìpó wọn. Jakọbu yóò sì tún ní àlàáfíà àti ààbò rẹ̀ padà, kò sì ṣí ẹni tí yóò ṣẹ̀rù bà á mọ́.
So, [you people of] Israel who serve me, do not be dismayed/worried [now], because [some day] I will bring you back from distant places; I will bring your descendants [back home] from the land to which they were exiled. [Then you] Israeli people will [again] live peacefully and safely, and there will not be any [nation] that will cause you to be terrified.
11 Èmi wà pẹ̀lú rẹ, n ó sì gbà ọ́,’ ni Olúwa wí. ‘Bí mo tilẹ̀ pa gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè run, nínú èyí tí mo ti fọ́n ọn yín ká, síbẹ̀ èmi kì yóò pa yín run pátápátá. Èmi yóò bá yín wí pẹ̀lú ìdájọ́ òdodo nìkan; Èmi kò ní fi yín sílẹ̀ láìjìyà.’
I, Yahweh, say that I will be with you and will rescue you; I will completely destroy the nations to which I have scattered you. But I will not completely destroy you. I will punish you [for your many sins], but I will punish you [only] as severely as you deserve: I would be doing wrong if I did not punish you at all.”
12 “Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí: “‘Ọgbẹ́ yín kò gbóògùn, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni egbò yín kọjá ìwòsàn.
Yahweh [also] says this: “[You have (suffered very much/endured many disasters)]; [it is as though] you have a terrible wound that cannot be cured.
13 Kò sí ẹnìkan tí yóò bẹ̀bẹ̀ fún àìṣedéédéé yín, kò sí ètùtù fún ọgbẹ́ yín, a kò sì mú yín láradá.
There is no one to help you, no one to put a bandage on your wound. There is no [medicine that will] heal you.
14 Gbogbo àwọn olùfẹ́ rẹ ti gbàgbé rẹ, wọn kò sì náání rẹ mọ́ pẹ̀lú. Mo ti nà ọ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀tá rẹ yóò ti nà ọ, mo sì bá a ọ wí gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìkà, nítorí tí ẹ̀bi rẹ pọ̀ púpọ̀, ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ kò sì lóǹkà.
All your allies [MET] have deserted you and they do not want to help you [any more]. [It is true that] I have punished you severely, [like your] enemies would wound you, because you have committed many sins and you are very guilty.
15 Èéṣe tí ẹ̀yin fi ń kígbe nítorí ọgbẹ́ yín, ìrora yín èyí tí kò ní oògùn? Nítorí ọ̀pọ̀ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yín àti ẹ̀bi yín tó ga ni mo fi ṣe àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí sí i yín.
[Because that is true], why do you protest about my punishing you, [as though I had caused] a wound that could not be cured [RHQ]? It was necessary for me to punish you, because you had committed many sins and you were very guilty.
16 “‘Ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó bá ṣe yín ní ibi ni ibi yóò bá, àní gbogbo àwọn ọ̀tá yín ni a ó sọ di àtìpó ní ilẹ̀ àjèjì; gbogbo àwọn tí wọ́n bà yín jẹ́ ni a ó bàjẹ́.
But [some day] all those who [are trying to] destroy you will be destroyed; all your enemies will be exiled [to other nations]. All those who have stolen things from you will have their [valuable] possessions stolen, and all those who attack you will be attacked.
17 Ṣùgbọ́n èmi yóò fi ẹ̀kúnrẹ́rẹ́ ìlera fún yín, èmi yóò sì wo ọ̀gbẹ́ yín sàn,’ ni Olúwa wí, ‘nítorí tí a pè yín ní alárìnkiri, Sioni tí gbogbo ènìyàn dágunlá sí.’
[Everyone] says that you are (outcasts/people that they no longer associate with), and that [you live in] Jerusalem, a city that no one cares about.” But Yahweh says, “I will heal your injuries/wounds and cause you to be healthy again.”
18 “Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí: “‘Èmi yóò dá gbogbo ìre àgọ́ Jakọbu padà, èmi yóò sì ṣe àánú fún olùgbé àgọ́ rẹ̀; ìlú náà yóò sì di títúnṣe tí ààfin ìlú náà yóò sì wà ní ipò rẹ̀.
This is what Yahweh says: “I will bring the people of Israel back from the lands to which they were taken and enable them to possess their land and their houses again. [When that happens], Jerusalem will be rebuilt on top of its ruins, and the [king’s] palace will be rebuilt to be like it was before.
19 Láti ẹnu wọn ni orin ọpẹ́ àti ìyìn yóò sì ti máa jáde. Èmi yóò sọ wọ́n di púpọ̀, wọn kì yóò sì dínkù ní iye, Èmi yóò fi ọlá fún wọn, wọn kò sì ní di ẹni àbùkù.
People will [again] sing joyfully to thank [me], and I will cause there to be more people [in Jerusalem], not fewer; I will cause them to be honored, not despised.
20 Ọmọ ọmọ wọn yóò wà bí i ti ìgbàanì níwájú mi ni wọn yóò sì tẹ àwùjọ wọn dúró sí. Gbogbo ẹni tó bá ni wọ́n lára, ni èmi yóò fì ìyà jẹ.
Their children will [prosper] like they did before. I will cause them to be a group of people [who worship] me, and I will punish any [nation] that oppresses them.
21 Ọ̀kan nínú wọn ni yóò jẹ́ olórí wọn, ọba wọn yóò dìde láti àárín wọn. Èmi yóò mú un wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ mi, òun yóò sì súnmọ́ mi, nítorí ta ni ẹni náà tí yóò fi ara rẹ̀ jì láti súnmọ́ mi?’ ni Olúwa wí.
One of their own people will be their king, and I will invite him to come close to me [to worship me], because no one [RHQ] would (dare/have courage) to come close to me [if I did not invite him].
22 ‘Nítorí náà, ẹ̀yin yóò jẹ́ ènìyàn mi, èmi yóò sì jẹ́ Ọlọ́run yín.’”
You [Israeli people] will be my people, and I will be your God.”
23 Wò ó, ìbínú Olúwa yóò tú jáde, ìjì líle yóò sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ sórí àwọn ènìyàn búburú.
Yahweh will punish [MTY] [your enemies]; [it will be like a great] storm; it will come down [like] a whirlwind, swirling around the heads of wicked people.
24 Ìbínú ńlá Olúwa kò ní dẹ̀yìn lẹ́yìn àwọn ìkà títí yóò fi mú èrò ọkàn rẹ̀ ṣẹ. Ní àìpẹ́ ọjọ́, òye rẹ̀ yóò yé e yín.
He will not stop being angry until he completely accomplishes [all] that he has planned. In the future, you will understand [all] of this [clearly].
