< Jeremiah 34 >
1 Nígbà tí Nebukadnessari ọba Babeli àti àwọn ọmọ-ogun rẹ̀, pẹ̀lú gbogbo ìjọba àti àwọn ènìyàn ní ilẹ̀ ọba tí ó jẹ ọba lé lórí ń bá Jerusalẹmu jà, àti gbogbo àwọn ìlú tí ó yíká, ọ̀rọ̀ yìí tọ Jeremiah wá láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa pé:
The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth of his dominion, and all the people fought against Jerusalem, and against all its cities, saying,
2 “Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli ọmọ-ogun wí: Lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ Sedekiah ọba Juda kí o sì sọ fún un pé, ‘Èyí ni ohun tí Ọlọ́run wí: Èmi fẹ́ fa ìlú yìí lé ọba Babeli lọ́wọ́, yóò sì jó palẹ̀.
Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; Go and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire:
3 Ìwọ kò ní sá àsálà, ṣùgbọ́n à ó mú ọ, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a ó sì fà ọ́ lé e lọ́wọ́. Ìwọ yóò rí ọba Babeli pẹ̀lú ojú ara rẹ; yóò sì bá ọ sọ̀rọ̀ lójúkojú; ìwọ yóò sì lọ sí Babeli.
And thou shalt not escape from his hand, but shalt surely be taken, and delivered into his hand; and thy eyes shall behold the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he shall speak with thee mouth to mouth, and thou shalt go to Babylon.
4 “‘Síbẹ̀, gbọ́ ìlérí Olúwa, ìwọ Sedekiah ọba Juda. Èyí ni ohun tí Ọlọ́run wí nípa rẹ; ìwọ kì yóò ti ipa idà kú;
Yet hear the word of the LORD, O Zedekiah king of Judah; Thus saith the LORD concerning thee, Thou shalt not die by the sword:
5 ìwọ yóò kú ní àlàáfíà. Bí àwọn ènìyàn sì ti ń ṣe iná ìsìnkú ní ọlá fún àwọn baba rẹ, ọba tí ó jẹ ṣáájú rẹ, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọn yóò ṣe iná ní ọlá rẹ, wọn ó sì pohùnréré pé, “Yé, olúwa!” Èmi fúnra mi ni ó ṣèlérí yìí ni Olúwa wí.’”
[But] thou shalt die in peace: and with the burnings of thy fathers, the former kings who were before thee, so shall they burn [odors] for thee; and they will lament thee, [saying], Ah lord! for I have pronounced the word, saith the LORD.
6 Nígbà náà ni Jeremiah wòlíì sọ gbogbo nǹkan yìí fún Sedekiah ọba Juda ní Jerusalẹmu.
Then Jeremiah the prophet spoke all these words to Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem,
7 Nígbà tí ogun ọba Babeli ń bá Jerusalẹmu jà, àti gbogbo àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí ó kù ní Juda, Lakiṣi, Aseka; àwọn nìkan ni ìlú olódi tí ó kù ní Juda.
When the king of Babylon's army fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish, and against Azekah: for these fortified cities remained of the cities of Judah.
8 Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa sì tọ Jeremiah wá lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí ọba Sedekiah ti dá májẹ̀mú pẹ̀lú gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn ní Jerusalẹmu láti polongo ìtúsílẹ̀ fún àwọn ẹrú.
[This is] the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, after king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people who [were] at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty to them;
9 Kí oníkálùkù lè jẹ́ kí ẹrúkùnrin àti ẹrúbìnrin tí í ṣe Heberu lọ lọ́fẹ̀ẹ́, kí ẹnikẹ́ni kí ó má mú ará Juda arákùnrin rẹ̀ sìn.
That every man should liberate his man-servant, and every man his maid-servant, [being] a Hebrew or a Hebrewess; that none should retain them in service, [to wit], a Jew his brother.
10 Nítorí náà, gbogbo àwọn aláṣẹ àti àwọn ènìyàn tí wọ́n fi ọwọ́ sí májẹ̀mú náà láti dá ẹrúkùnrin àti ẹrúbìnrin sílẹ̀ kí wọ́n sì má ṣe fi wọ́n sínú ìgbèkùn mọ́. Wọ́n sì gbà, wọ́n sì jẹ́ kí wọn lọ lọ́fẹ̀ẹ́.
Now when all the princes, and all the people who had entered into the covenant, heard that every one should liberate his man-servant, and every one his maid-servant, that none should retain them in service any more, then they obeyed, and let [them] go.
11 Ṣùgbọ́n lẹ́yìn ìgbà díẹ̀, wọ́n yí ọkàn wọn padà; wọ́n sì mú àwọn ẹrú tí wọ́n ti dá sílẹ̀ padà láti tún máa sìn wọ́n.
But afterwards they turned, and caused the servants and the handmaids, whom they had liberated, to return, and brought them into subjection for servants and for handmaids.
12 Nígbà náà ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ Jeremiah wá wí pé:
Therefore the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
13 “Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa, Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí pé: Mo dá májẹ̀mú kan pẹ̀lú àwọn baba ńlá yín nígbà tí mo mú wọn kúrò ní Ejibiti; kúrò ní oko ẹrú. Mo wí pé,
Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them forth from the land of Egypt, out of the house of bond-men, saying,
14 ‘Ní ọdún keje, ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan yín gbọdọ̀ tú àwọn Heberu tí wọ́n ti ta ara wọn fún un yín sílẹ̀ lẹ́yìn tí wọ́n ti sìn yín fún ọdún mẹ́fà. Ẹ gbọdọ̀ jẹ́ kí wọn kí ó lọ’; ṣùgbọ́n àwọn baba yín kò gbọ́; bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọn kò fetí sí mi.
At the end of seven years dismiss ye every man his brother a Hebrew, who hath been sold to thee; and when he hath served thee six years, thou shalt let him go free from thee: but your fathers hearkened not to me, neither inclined their ear.
15 Láìpẹ́ yìí ẹ ti ronúpìwàdà, ẹ sì ṣe ohun tí ó tọ́ lójú mi, ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan yín sì ṣe ìtúsílẹ̀ fún àwọn ènìyàn. Ẹ sì tún bá mi dá májẹ̀mú ní àwọn ilé tí a ti ń pe orúkọ mi.
And ye had now turned, and had done right in my sight, in proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbor; and ye had made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name:
16 Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin yípadà, ẹ sì sọ orúkọ mi di èérí, olúkúlùkù sì mú kí àwọn ẹni rẹ tí ó ti sọ di òmìnira bí ọkàn wọn ti fẹ́ padà; ẹ̀yin sì tún fi wọ́n ṣe ẹrú.
But ye turned and profaned my name, and caused every man his servant, and every man his handmaid, whom he had set at liberty at their pleasure, to return, and brought them into subjection, to be to you for servants and for handmaids.
17 “Nítorí náà báyìí ni Olúwa wí: Ẹ̀yin kò fetí sí mi nípa ọ̀rọ̀ òmìnira láàrín ẹ̀gbọ́n sí àbúrò, láàrín ẹnìkan sí èkejì rẹ̀. Wò ó, èmi yóò kéde òmìnira fún un yín ni Olúwa wí. Sí idà, sí àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn, àti sí ìyàn, èmi ó sì fi yín fún ìwọ̀sí ní gbogbo ìjọba ilẹ̀ ayé.
Therefore thus saith the LORD; Ye have not hearkened to me, in proclaiming liberty, every one to his brother, and every man to his neighbor: behold, I proclaim a liberty for you, saith the LORD, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.
18 Èmi ó ṣe àwọn ọkùnrin náà tí ó da májẹ̀mú mi, tí kò tẹ̀lé májẹ̀mú tí wọ́n ti dá níwájú mi bí ẹgbọrọ màlúù tí wọ́n gé sí méjì, tí ó sì kọjá láàrín ìpín méjì náà.
And I will give the men that have transgressed my covenant, who have not performed the words of the covenant which they had made before me, when they cut the calf in two, and passed between the parts of it,
19 Àwọn ìjòyè Juda àti àwọn ti Jerusalẹmu, àwọn aláṣẹ àti àwọn àlùfáà àti gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn ilẹ̀ náà tí ó kọjá láàrín àwọn ìpín méjèèjì ẹgbọrọ màlúù náà.
The princes of Judah, and the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land, who passed between the parts of the calf;
20 Èmi ó fi wọ́n lé ọwọ́ àwọn ọ̀tá wọn, àti lé àwọn tí ń wá ẹ̀mí wọn lọ́wọ́. Òkú wọn yóò jẹ́ oúnjẹ fún àwọn ẹyẹ ojú ọ̀run àti fún àwọn ẹranko igbó.
I will even give them into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life: and their dead bodies shall be for food to the fowls of the heaven, and to the beasts of the earth.
21 “Sedekiah ọba àti àwọn ìjòyè rẹ̀ ní Juda ni èmí yóò fi lé àwọn ọ̀tá wọn lọ́wọ́, àti àwọn tí ń wá ẹ̀mí wọn àti lé ọwọ́ ogun Babeli tí ó ti lọ kúrò lọ́dọ̀ yín.
And Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes I will give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life, and into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, which are gone up from you.
22 Wò ó èmi ó pàṣẹ ni Olúwa wí, èmi ó sì mú wọn padà sí ìlú yìí, wọn ó sì bá a jà, wọn ó sì kó o, wọn ó fi iná jó o. Èmi ó sì sọ ìlú Juda dí ahoro.”
Behold, I will command, saith the LORD, and cause them to return to this city; and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire: and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation without an inhabitant.
