< Jeremiah 33 >
1 Nígbà tí Jeremiah wà nínú àgbàlá túbú, ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ ọ́ wá lẹ́ẹ̀kejì:
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah a second time, while he was still confined to the atrium of the prison, saying:
2 “Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa sọ, ẹni tí ó dá ayé, Olúwa tí ó mọ ayé tí ó sì fi ìdí rẹ̀ múlẹ̀, Olúwa ni orúkọ rẹ̀:
“Thus says the Lord, who will prepare, and form, and accomplish it; the Lord is his name.
3 ‘Pè mí, èmi ó sì dá ọ lóhùn, èmi ó sì sọ ohun alágbára ńlá àti ọ̀pọ̀ ohun tí kò ṣe é wádìí tí ìwọ kò mọ̀ fún ọ.’
Cry out to me and I will heed you. And I will announce to you great things, things that are certain, though you do not know them.
4 Nítorí èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run àwọn Israẹli sọ nípa àwọn ilẹ̀ ìlú yìí àti ààfin àwọn ọba Juda tí ó ti wó lulẹ̀ nítorí àwọn ìdọ̀tí àti idà
For thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, to the houses of this city, and to the houses of the king of Judah, which have been destroyed, and to the fortifications, and to the sword
5 nínú ìjà pẹ̀lú Kaldea: ‘Wọn yóò kún fún ọ̀pọ̀ òkú ọmọkùnrin tí èmi yóò pa nínú ìbínú àti nínú ìrunú mi. Èmi ó pa ojú mi mọ́ kúrò ní ìlú yìí nítorí gbogbo búburú wọn.
of those who have arrived, so that they may fight with the Chaldeans, and so that they may have their fill of the dead bodies of the men whom I have struck down in my fury and in my indignation, concealing my face from this city, because of all their wickedness:
6 “‘Wò ó, èmi ó mú ọ̀já àti oògùn ìmúláradá dì í; èmi ó wo àwọn ènìyàn mi sàn. Èmi ó sì jẹ́ kí wọn ó jẹ ìgbádùn lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀ àlàáfíà àti òtítọ́.
Behold, I will lead over them scars and health, and I will cure them. And I will reveal to them an invocation of peace and truth.
7 Èmi ó mú Juda àti Israẹli kúrò nínú ìgbèkùn, èmi ó sì tún wọn kọ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí wọ́n ṣe wà tẹ́lẹ̀.
And I will convert the turning away of Judah and the turning away of Jerusalem. And I will build them up, just as from the beginning.
8 Èmi ó wẹ̀ wọ́n nù kúrò nínú gbogbo ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ tí wọ́n ti ṣẹ sí mi. Èmi ó sì dárí gbogbo ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àìṣedéédéé wọn sí mi jì wọ́n.
And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, by which they have sinned against me. And I will forgive all their iniquities, by which they have offended against me and have despised me.
9 Nígbà náà ni ìlú yìí ó fún mi ní òkìkí, ayọ̀, ìyìn àti ọlá níwájú gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè ayé; tí wọ́n gbọ́ gbogbo rere tí èmi ṣe fún wọn. Wọn ó sì bẹ̀rù, wọn ó wárìrì fún ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ oore àti àlàáfíà tí èmi pèsè fún wọn.’
And this will be for me: a name, and a joy, and a praise, and an exultation, among all the nations of the earth who will hear about all the good things that I will accomplish for them. And they will be afraid and troubled over all these good things, and over all the peace, that I will accomplish for them.
10 “Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí, ‘Ẹ̀yin yóò wí nípa ibí yìí pé, “Ó dahoro, láìsí ènìyàn tàbí ẹran.” Síbẹ̀ ní ìlú Juda àti ní òpópónà Jerusalẹmu tí ó dahoro, láìsí ẹni tó gbé ibẹ̀; ìbá à se ènìyàn tàbí ẹran, tí yóò gbọ́ lẹ́ẹ̀kan sí.
Thus says the Lord: Still shall there be heard in this place, (which you say is desolate, because there is neither man nor beast, ) and in the cities of Judah and outside of Jerusalem, (which are desolate, without man, and without an inhabitant and without cattle, )
11 Ariwo ayọ̀ àti inú dídùn, ohùn ìyàwó àti ti ọkọ ìyàwó àti ohùn àwọn tí ó ru ẹbọ ọpẹ́ wọn nílé Olúwa wí pé: “‘“Yin Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun, nítorí Olúwa dára, ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ dúró títí láéláé.” Nítorí èmi ó dá ìkólọ ilẹ̀ náà padà sí bí o ṣe wà tẹ́lẹ̀,’ ni Olúwa wí.
the voice of gladness and the voice of rejoicing, the voice of the groom and the voice of the bride, the voice of those who will say: ‘Confess to the Lord of hosts! For the Lord is good! For his mercy is eternal!’ and the voice of those fulfilling their vows in the house of the Lord. For I will lead back the turning away of the land, just as from the beginning, says the Lord.”
12 “Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí, ‘Ní ilẹ̀ yìí tí ó ti dahoro láìsí ọkùnrin àti àwọn ẹran nínú gbogbo ìlú, kò ní sí pápá oko fún àwọn olùṣọ́-àgùntàn láti mú àwọn ẹran ọ̀sìn wọn sinmi.
Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Still shall there be in this place, (which is desolate without man and without beast, ) and in all of its cities: a habitation for the shepherds giving rest to their flocks.
13 Ní ìlú òkè wọ̀n-ọn-nì, nínú ìlú àfonífojì, àti nínú ìlú ìhà gúúsù, àti ní ilẹ̀ ti Benjamini, ní ibi wọ̀n-ọn-nì tí ó yí Jerusalẹmu ká, àti ní ìlú Juda ni agbo àgùntàn yóò tún máa kọjá ní ọwọ́ ẹni tí ń kà wọ́n,’ ni Olúwa wí.
For even in the cities on the mountains, and in the cities on the plains, and in the cities that are toward the south, and in the land of Benjamin, and all around Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, still shall the flocks travel by the hand of him who numbers them, says the Lord.
14 “‘Àwọn ọjọ́ náà ń bọ̀,’ ni Olúwa wí, ‘tí èmi ó mú ìlérí rere tí mo ṣe fún ilé Israẹli àti ilé Juda ṣẹ.
Behold, the days are approaching, says the Lord, when I will fulfill the good word that I have spoken to the house of Israel and to the house of Judah.
15 “‘Ní ọjọ́ wọ̀n-ọn-nì àti ní àkókò náà, Èmi ó gbé olódodo dìde láti ẹ̀ka Dafidi. Yóò ṣe ìdájọ́ àti ohun tí ó tọ́ ní ilẹ̀ náà.
In those days and at that time, I will cause the seedling of justice to spring up from David, and he will accomplish judgment and justice upon the earth.
16 Ní ọjọ́ wọ̀n-ọn-nì, Juda yóò di ẹni ìgbàlà. Jerusalẹmu yóò sì máa gbé láìséwu. Orúkọ yìí ni a ó máa pè é Olúwa wa olódodo.’
In those days, Judah will be saved, and Jerusalem will live in confidence. And this is the name that they will call him: ‘The Lord, our Just One.’
17 Nítorí báyìí ni Olúwa wí: ‘Dafidi kò ní kùnà láti rí ọkùnrin tí yóò jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ ní ilé Israẹli.
For thus says the Lord: There shall not cease to be a man from David sitting upon the throne of the house of Israel.
18 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn àlùfáà tí ó jẹ́ ọmọ Lefi kò ní kùnà láti ní ọkùnrin kan tí ó dúró níwájú mi ní gbogbo ìgbà láti rú ẹbọ sísun; ẹbọ jíjẹ àti láti pèsè ìrúbọ.’”
And there shall not cease to be a man from the priests and from the Levites before my face, who offers holocausts, and burns sacrifices, and kills victims, for days without end.”
19 Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa sì tọ Jeremiah wá wí pé:
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying:
20 “Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa sọ: ‘Tí ìwọ bá lè dá májẹ̀mú mi ní òru tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí ọ̀sán àti òru kò lè sí ní àkókò wọn mọ́.
“Thus says the Lord: If my covenant with the day is able to be nullified, or my covenant with the night, such that there would be no day and no night in their time,
21 Nígbà náà ni májẹ̀mú mi pẹ̀lú Dafidi ìránṣẹ́ mi àti májẹ̀mú mi pẹ̀lú Lefi tí ó jẹ́ àlùfáà, àwọn ìránṣẹ́ níwájú mi lè bàjẹ́, tí Dafidi kò sì rí ẹni láti jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ rẹ̀.
then, too, my covenant with David, my servant, may be nullified, such that he would not have a son who reigns upon his throne, with both the Levites and the priests as my ministers.
22 Èmi ó mú àwọn ọmọ lẹ́yìn Dafidi ìránṣẹ́ mi àti Lefi tí ó jẹ́ oníwàásù níwájú mi di bí ìràwọ̀ ojú ọ̀run, tí kò ṣe é kà àti bí iyẹ̀pẹ̀ ojú Òkun tí kò ṣe é wọ́n.’”
Just as the stars of heaven are not able to be numbered, and the sand of the sea is not able to be measured, so will I multiply the offspring of David, my servant, and the Levites, my ministers.”
23 Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ Jeremiah wá wí pé:
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying:
24 “Ǹjẹ́ ìwọ kò kíyèsi pé àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí ń sọ pé: ‘Olúwa ti kọ àwọn ọba méjèèjì tí ó yàn sílẹ̀’? Nítorí náà, ni wọ́n ti ṣe kẹ́gàn àwọn ènìyàn mi. Wọn kò sì mọ̀ wọ́n gẹ́gẹ́ bí orílẹ̀-èdè kan.
“Have you not seen what this people has spoken? They say: ‘The two families which the Lord had chosen have been rejected.’ And so they have despised my people, as if they were no longer a nation in their sight.
25 Báyìí ni Olúwa wí: ‘Bí èmi kò bá ti da májẹ̀mú mi pẹ̀lú ọ̀sán àti òru àti pẹ̀lú òfin ọ̀run àti ayé tí kò lè yẹ̀.
Thus says the Lord: If I have not established my covenant with the day and the night, and my laws over heaven and earth,
26 Nígbà náà ni èmi ó kọ ọmọ lẹ́yìn Jakọbu àti Dafidi ìránṣẹ́ mi tí èmi kò sì ní yan ọ̀kan nínú ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ láti jẹ́ alákòóso lórí àwọn ọmọ Abrahamu, Isaaki àti Jakọbu; nítorí èmi ó mú ìkólọ wọn padà; èmi ó sì ṣàánú fún wọn.’”
then truly I will also cast aside the offspring of Jacob, and of David, my servant, so that I do not take up any of his offspring to be leaders over the offspring of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For I will lead back their turning away, and I will take pity on them.”
