Jeremiah 36
1 Ní ọdún kẹrin Jehoiakimu ọmọ Josiah ọba Juda, ọ̀rọ̀ yìí tọ Jeremiah wá láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa wí pé:
When Jehoiakim had been the king of Judah for almost four years, Yahweh gave this message to me:
2 “Mú ìwé kíká fún ará rẹ, kí o sì kọ sínú rẹ̀ gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ tí mo ti sọ nípa Israẹli àti ti Juda, àti sí gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè láti ìgbà tí mo ti sọ fún ọ láti ọjọ́ Josiah títí di òní.
“Get a scroll, and write on it the messages that I have given to you regarding Israel, Judah, and the other nations. Write all of the messages, starting from the time that I gave you the first message, when Josiah was the king, up until now.
3 Ó lè jẹ́ wí pé ilé Juda yóò gbọ́ gbogbo ibi tí mo ti pinnu láti ṣe fún wọn; kí wọn kí ó sì yípadà, olúkúlùkù wọn kúrò ní ọ̀nà búburú rẹ̀. Kí èmi kí ó lè dárí àìṣedéédéé àti ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn jì wọ́n.”
When the people of Judah hear [again] about all the disasters that I plan to cause them to experience, perhaps each one of them will repent. If they do that, I will be able to forgive them for the wrong/evil things that they have done.”
4 Nígbà náà ni Jeremiah pe Baruku ọmọ Neriah, ó sì sọ gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ tí Ọlọ́run bá a sọ fún, Baruku sì kọ láti ẹnu Jeremiah, gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tí ó ti sọ fún un sórí ìwé kíká náà.
[So] I summoned Baruch, the son of Neraiah. Then, as I dictated to him all the messages that Yahweh had spoken to me, he wrote them on a scroll.
5 Nígbà náà ni Jeremiah wí fún Baruku pé, “A sé mi mọ́! Èmi kò lè lọ sí ilé Olúwa.
Then I said to him, “I am not allowed to [leave here and] go to the temple.
6 Nítorí náà, ìwọ lọ sí ilé Olúwa ní ọjọ́ àwẹ̀, kí o sì kà nínú ìwé kíká náà ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tí ìwọ ti ẹnu mi kọ; ìwọ ó sì kà á ní etí gbogbo Juda, tí wọ́n jáde wá láti ìlú wọn.
So, you go [to the temple] on the [next] day when the people are (fasting/abstaining from food), and read to them the messages from Yahweh that you wrote while I dictated them to you. Read them [aloud] to all the people [who are there, including] the people of Judah who come [there] from their towns.
7 Ó lè jẹ́ pé, ẹ̀bẹ̀ wọn yóò wá sí iwájú Olúwa, wọ́n ó sì yípadà kúrò ní ọ̀nà búburú wọn; nítorí pé títóbi ni ìbínú àti ìrunú tí Olúwa ti sọ sí àwọn ènìyàn yìí.”
Perhaps they will turn from their evil behavior and request Yahweh [to act mercifully toward them]. [They must do that, ] because Yahweh is very angry with them and has threatened to punish them severely.”
8 Baruku ọmọ Neriah sì ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí gbogbo èyí tí wòlíì Jeremiah sọ fún, láti ka ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa láti inú ìwé ní ilé Olúwa.
Baruch did what I told him to do. He [went to the temple and] read [to the people] all those messages from Yahweh.
9 Ní oṣù kẹsànán ọdún karùn-ún Jehoiakimu ọmọ Josiah ọba Juda ni wọ́n kéde àwẹ̀ níwájú Olúwa fún gbogbo ènìyàn Jerusalẹmu àti fún gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn tí ó wá láti ìlú Juda.
He did it in December on a day when their leaders had proclaimed that all the people in Jerusalem and the people who had come there from [other] towns in Judah should fast to [please/honor] Yahweh. [It was when] Jehoiakim had been king for almost five years.
10 Láti inú yàrá Gemariah ọmọ Ṣafani akọ̀wé, ní àgbàlá òkè níbi ìlẹ̀kùn ẹnu-ọ̀nà ilé Olúwa tuntun. Baruku sì ka ọ̀rọ̀ Jeremiah láti inú ìwé ní ilé Olúwa sí etí gbogbo ènìyàn.
Baruch read to all the people the messages [that he had written] on the scroll. [He read them while he was] in the temple, in the room where Gemariah stayed. He was the son of Shaphan, [who had previously been the king’s] secretary. That room was close to the upper courtyard [of the temple], near the entrance to the temple that is [called] the New Gate.
11 Nígbà tí Mikaiah ọmọ Gemariah ọmọ Ṣafani gbọ́ gbogbo àkọsílẹ̀ ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa láti inú ìwé náà;
When Micaiah, who was the son of Gemariah and grandson of Shaphan, heard those messages from Yahweh,
12 Ó sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí ilé ọba sínú yàrá akọ̀wé; níbi tí gbogbo àwọn ìjòyè gbé jókòó sí: Eliṣama akọ̀wé, Delaiah ọmọ Ṣemaiah, Elnatani ọmọ Akbori, Gemariah ọmọ Ṣafani àti Sedekiah ọmọ Hananiah àti gbogbo àwọn ìjòyè.
he went down to the secretary’s room in the palace, where all the king’s officials were meeting. Elishama the [king’s] secretary [was there]. Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, Elnathan the son of Acbor, Gemariah, Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the [other] officials [of the king were also there].
13 Lẹ́yìn tí Mikaiah sọ gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀n-ọn-nì tí o ti gbọ́ fún wọn, nígbà tí Baruku kà láti inú ìwé kíkà náà ní etí àwọn ènìyàn.
When Micaiah told them about the messages that Baruch had been reading to the people,
14 Gbogbo àwọn ìjòyè sì rán Jehudu ọmọ Netaniah ọmọ Ṣelemiah ọmọ Kuṣi sí Baruku wí pé, mú ìwé kíká náà ní ọwọ́ rẹ láti inú èyí tí ìwọ kà ní etí àwọn ènìyàn; kí o si wá. Nígbà náà ni Baruku ọmọ Neriah wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ wọn pẹ̀lú ìwé kíká ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀.
the officials sent Jehudi, who was the son of Nethaniah and grandson of Shelemiah and great-grandson of Cushi, to tell Baruch to come [and read the messages to them, also]. So Baruch took the scroll and went to them.
15 Wọ́n sì wí fún pé, “Jókòó, jọ̀wọ́ kà á sí etí wa!” Nígbà náà ni Baruku sì kà á ní etí wọn.
They said to him, “Please sit down and read it [to us].” So Baruch did what they requested.
16 Nígbà tí wọ́n sì gbọ́ gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ náà tan; wọ́n ń wo ara wọn lójú pẹ̀lú ẹ̀rù. Wọ́n sì wí fún Baruku pé, “Àwa gbọdọ̀ jábọ̀ gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí fún ọba.”
After they had heard all the messages, they were afraid. They looked at each other and [then] they said, “We must tell these messages to the king!”
17 Wọ́n sì béèrè lọ́wọ́ Baruku pé, “Sọ fún wa báwo ni o ṣe kọ gbogbo àwọn ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí? Ṣé Jeremiah ló sọ wọ́n?”
Then they asked Baruch, “How did you get this scroll? Did Jeremiah dictate to you all the messages on this scroll?”
18 Baruku sì dá wọn lóhùn wí pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, láti ẹnu rẹ̀ ni, ó sì sọ gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ báyìí fún mi, èmi sì fi tàdáwà kọ wọ́n sínú ìwé náà.”
Baruch replied, “[Yes], Jeremiah dictated them to me, and I wrote them with ink on this scroll.”
19 Nígbà náà ni àwọn ìjòyè sọ fún Baruku wí pé, “Lọ fi ara rẹ pamọ́ àti Jeremiah, má sì ṣe jẹ́ kí ẹnìkan mọ ibi tí ẹ̀yin wà.”
Then the officials told Baruch, “You and Jeremiah must both hide. Do not tell anyone where you are!”
20 Lẹ́yìn tí wọ́n fi ìwé kíká náà pamọ́ sí iyàrá Eliṣama akọ̀wé, wọ́n sì wọlé tọ ọba lọ nínú àgbàlá, wọ́n sì sọ gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ náà ní etí ọba.
They put the scroll in the room of Elishama, the king’s secretary. Then they went to the king, who was in the courtyard, and reported to him everything [that Baruch had read to them].
21 Ọba sì rán Jehudu láti lọ mú ìwé kíká náà wá, Jehudu sì mu jáde láti inú iyàrá Eliṣama akọ̀wé. Ó sì ka ìwé náà ní etí ọba àti ní etí gbogbo àwọn ìjòyè tí ó dúró ti ọba.
Then the king sent Jehudi to get the scroll. Jehudi brought it from Elishama’s room and read it to the king, while all the [king’s] officials were standing there.
22 Ó sì jẹ́ ìgbà òtútù nínú oṣù kẹsànán, ọba sì jókòó ní ẹ̀bá iná ààrò, iná náà sì ń jó ní iwájú rẹ̀.
It was in the cold season, and the king was in a part of the palace where he stayed when it was cold. He was sitting in front of a fire [to keep/be warm].
23 Nígbà tí Jehudu ka ojú ìwé mẹ́ta sí mẹ́rin nínú ìwé náà, ọba fi ọ̀bẹ gé ìwé, ó sì sọ sínú iná tí ó wà nínú ìdáná, títí tí gbogbo ìwé kíká náà fi jóná tán.
Each time Jehudi finished reading three or four columns, the king cut off that section of the scroll with a knife and threw it into the fire. He did that, section by section, until the entire scroll was burned up.
24 Síbẹ̀, ọba àti gbogbo àwọn ẹ̀mẹwà rẹ̀ tí wọ́n gbọ́ gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí kò bẹ̀rù; wọn kò sì fa aṣọ wọn yá.
Neither the king nor his officials showed that they were afraid [that God would punish them]. They did not tear their clothes [to show that they were sorry for what they had done].
25 Elnatani, Delaiah àti Gemariah sì bẹ ọba kí ó má ṣe fi ìwé kíká náà jóná, ṣùgbọ́n ọba kọ̀ láti gbọ́ tiwọn.
Elnathan, Delaiah, and Gemariah pleaded with the king not to burn the scroll, but he did not pay any attention.
26 Dípò èyí ọba pàṣẹ fún Jerahmeeli ọmọ Hameleki, Seraiah ọmọ Asrieli àti Ṣelemiah ọmọ Abdeeli láti mú Baruku akọ̀wé àti Jeremiah wòlíì ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa fi wọ́n pamọ́.
Then the king commanded his son Jerahmeel, Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel to arrest Baruch and me. But [they were unable to do that because] Yahweh had hidden us.
27 Lẹ́yìn tí ọba fi ìwé kíká náà tí ọ̀rọ̀ tí Baruku kọ láti ẹnu Jeremiah jóná tán, ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa sì tọ Jeremiah wá:
After the king had burned the scroll on which were written the messages that I had dictated to Baruch, Yahweh said this to me:
28 “Wí pé, tún mú ìwé kíká mìíràn kí o sì kọ gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ tí ó wà nínú ìwé kíká èkínní tí Jehoiakimu ọba Juda fi jóná.
“Get another scroll, and [tell Baruch to] write everything again, the same messages that he had written on the scroll that the king burned.
29 Kí o sì wí fún Jehoiakimu ọba Juda pé, ‘Báyìí ni Olúwa wí, ìwọ ti fi ìwé kíká náà jóná, o sì wí pé, “Èéṣe tí ìwọ fi kọ̀wé sínú rẹ̀, pé lóòtítọ́ ni ọba Babeli yóò wá, yóò sì pa ilẹ̀ run, àti ènìyàn, àti ẹranko kúrò nínú rẹ̀.”
[Then go to] the king and say to him, ‘Yahweh says this: “You burned the scroll [because you did not like] what was written on it, that the king of Babylon would surely [RHQ] come [with his army] and destroy this land and get rid of all the people and the animals.
30 Nítorí náà, báyìí ni Olúwa wí ní ti Jehoiakimu ọba Juda pé, Òun kì yóò ní ẹni tí yóò jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ Dafidi, à ó sì sọ òkú rẹ̀ nù fún ooru ní ọ̀sán àti fún òtútù ní òru.
Now this is what [I], Yahweh, say about [you], Jehoiakim: 'None of your descendants will rule this kingdom [MTY]. Your corpse will be thrown out [on the ground and not be buried]; it will be under the hot [sun] during the days and [struck by] frost during the nights.
31 Èmi ó sì jẹ òun àti irú-ọmọ rẹ̀, ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ ní ìyà nítorí àìṣedéédéé wọn; èmi ó sì mú gbogbo ibi tí èmi ti sọ sí wọn wá sórí wọn, àti sórí àwọn olùgbé Jerusalẹmu àti àwọn ènìyàn Juda, nítorí tí wọn kò fetísí mi.’”
I will punish you and your family and your officials for their sins. And I will cause the people of Jerusalem and the people of the [other] towns in Judah to experience all the disasters that I promised, because you all would not pay attention [to what I said]!'” '”
32 Nígbà náà ni Jeremiah mú ìwé kíká mìíràn fún Baruku akọ̀wé ọmọ Neriah, ẹni tí ó kọ̀wé sínú rẹ̀ láti ẹnu Jeremiah gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ inú ìwé tí Jehoiakimu ọba Juda ti sun níná. A sì fi onírúurú ọ̀rọ̀ bí irú èyí kún pẹ̀lú.
So I took another scroll, and again I dictated the messages to Baruch. He wrote everything that had been written on the [other] scroll, the one that King Jehoiakim had burned in the fire. [But this time, I] added more messages.
