Jeremiah 43
1 Nígbà tí Jeremiah parí sísọ ọ̀rọ̀ tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rán an sí wọn tan.
After Jeremiah finished telling everyone all that the Lord their God had send him to say,
2 Asariah ọmọ Hoṣaiah àti Johanani ọmọ Karea, àti gbogbo àwọn agbéraga ọkùnrin sọ fún Jeremiah pé, “Ìwọ ń pa irọ́! Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa kò rán ọ láti sọ pé, ‘Ẹ má lọ sí Ejibiti láti ṣàtìpó níbẹ̀.’
Azariah son of Hoshaiah, Johanan son of Kareah, and all the proud and rebellious men told Jeremiah, “You're lying! The Lord our God hasn't sent you to tell us, ‘You are not to go and live in Egypt.’
3 Ṣùgbọ́n Baruku, ọmọ Neriah, ni ó fi ọ̀rọ̀ sí ọ lẹ́nu sí wa, láti fà wá lé àwọn ará Babeli lọ́wọ́, láti pa wá àti láti kó wa ní ìgbèkùn lọ sí Babeli.”
No, it's Baruch son of Neriah who's turned you against us in order to hand us over to the Babylonians so they can kill us or exile us to Babylon!”
4 Nítorí náà, Johanani ti Karea àti gbogbo àwọn olórí ogun, àti gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn tàpá sí àṣẹ Olúwa nípa dídúró sí Juda.
So Johanan son of Kareah and all the army commanders refused to obey the Lord's command to stay in the land of Judah.
5 Dípò bẹ́ẹ̀, Johanani ọmọ Karea àti gbogbo àwọn olórí ogun sì ko àwọn àjẹkù Juda tí wọ́n wá láti gbé ilẹ̀ Juda láti orílẹ̀-èdè gbogbo tí wọ́n ti tú wọn ká.
Instead, Johanan son of Kareah and all the army commanders took with them all who were left of the people of Judah, those who had returned to the country from all the nations where they had been scattered.
6 Wọ́n tún kó àwọn ọkùnrin, àwọn obìnrin àti àwọn ọmọdé, àti àwọn ọmọ ọba tí ó jẹ́ obìnrin èyí tí Nebusaradani balógun ẹ̀ṣọ́ ti fi sílẹ̀ pẹ̀lú Gedaliah ọmọ Ahikamu, ọmọ Ṣafani, àti Jeremiah wòlíì náà àti Baruku ọmọ Neriah.
These included men, women, and children, the king's daughters, and everyone Nebuzaradan the commander of the guard had allowed to remain with Gedaliah, as well as Jeremiah and Baruch.
7 Nítorí náà, wọn wọ Ejibiti pẹ̀lú àìgbọ́ràn sí àṣẹ Olúwa, wọ́n sì lọ títí dé Tafanesi.
They went to Egypt because they refused to obey the Lord's command. They went all the way to Tahpanhes.
8 Ní Tafanesi ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ Jeremiah wá:
A message from Lord came to Jeremiah at Tahpanhes:
9 “Nígbà tí àwọn Júù ń wòye mú àwọn òkúta pẹ̀lú rẹ, kí o sì rì wọ́n mọ́ inú amọ̀ tí ó wà nínú bíríkì tí ó wà níbi pèpéle ẹnu-ọ̀nà ààfin Farao ní Tafanesi.
As the people of Judah watch, get some large stones and set them into the cement of the brick pavement in the entrance way to Pharaoh's palace at Tahpanhes.
10 Báyìí kí o sì sọ fún wọn pé, ‘Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun, Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí. Èmi yóò ránṣẹ́ sí ìránṣẹ́ mi Nebukadnessari ọba Babeli, Èmi yóò gbé ìjọba rẹ̀ ka orí àwọn òkúta; èyí tí mo ti rì sí ibí yìí, yóò tan ìjọba rẹ̀ jù wọ́n lọ.
Tell them that this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I'm going to send for my servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bring him here. I will place his throne over these stones that I have set into the pavement, and he will spread out his royal tent over them.
11 Yóò gbé ogun sí Ejibiti; yóò mú ikú bá àwọn tí ó yan ikú; ìgbèkùn fún àwọn tí ó ti yan ìgbèkùn, àti idà fún àwọn tí ó yan idà.
He will come and attack Egypt, bringing death to those destined to die, imprisonment to those destined to be imprisoned, and the sword to those destined to be killed by the sword.
12 Yóò dá, iná sun tẹmpili àwọn òrìṣà Ejibiti, yóò sun tẹmpili àwọn òrìṣà Ejibiti, yóò sì mú wọn lọ ìgbèkùn. Gẹ́gẹ́ bí olùṣọ́-àgùntàn, yóò ró aṣọ rẹ̀ mọ́ra, bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ ni yóò ró Ejibiti òun yóò sì lọ kúrò níbẹ̀ ní àlàáfíà.
I will set fire to the temples of the gods of Egypt. Nebuchadnezzar will burn them and loot their idols. He will pick the land of Egypt clean like a shepherd picks his cloak clean of fleas, and he will leave unharmed.
13 Ní tẹmpili ni yóò ti fọ́ ère ilé oòrùn tí ó wà ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti túútúú, yóò sì sun àwọn tẹmpili àwọn òrìṣà Ejibiti.’”
He will knock down the sacred pillars of the temple of the sun in Egypt, and he will burn down the temples of the gods of Egypt.
