Jeremiah 44
1 Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ Jeremiah wá nípa àwọn Júù tí ń gbé ní ìsàlẹ̀ Ejibiti ní Migdoli, Tafanesi àti Memfisi àti ní apá òkè Ejibiti:
The word that has been to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews who are dwelling in the land of Egypt—who are dwelling in Migdol, and in Tahpanhes, and in Noph, and in the land of Pathros—saying,
2 “Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí: Wo ibi tí mo mú bá Jerusalẹmu àti gbogbo ìlú Juda. Lónìí, wọ́n wà ní ìyapa àti ìparun.
“Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: You have seen all the calamity that I have brought in on Jerusalem, and on all the cities of Judah, and behold, they [are] a desolation to this day, and there is none dwelling in them,
3 Nítorí pé ibi tí wọ́n ti ṣe. Wọ́n mú mi bínú nípa tùràrí fínfín àti nípa bíbọ àwọn òrìṣà, yálà èyí tí ìwọ tàbí àwọn baba rẹ kò mọ̀.
because of their wickedness that they have done, by provoking Me to anger, by going to make incense, by serving other gods, that they did not know, they, you, and your fathers.
4 Ní ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ìgbà ní mo rán wòlíì mi, èyí tí ó wí báyìí pé, ‘Má ṣe àwọn ohun ìríra yìí tí èmi kórìíra.’
And I send to you all My servants the prophets, rising early and sending, saying, Please do not do this abomination that I have hated—
5 Ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò fetísílẹ̀ láti fi ọkàn si. Wọn kò sì yípadà kúrò nínú búburú wọn tàbí dáwọ́ ẹbọ sísun sí àwọn òrìṣà dúró.
and they have not listened nor inclined their ear to turn back from their wickedness, not to make incense to other gods,
6 Fún ìdí èyí, ìbínú gbígbóná mi ni èmi yóò yọ sí àwọn ìlú Juda àti òpópó Jerusalẹmu àti sísọ wọ́n di ìparun bí ó ṣe wà lónìí yìí.
and My fury is poured out, and My anger, and it burns in cities of Judah, and in streets of Jerusalem, and they are for a ruin, for a desolation, as [at] this day.
7 “Báyìí tún ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run àwọn ọmọ-ogun Israẹli wí, kí ló dé tí ẹ fi ń mu ibi ńlá yìí wá sí orí ara yín nípa yíyapa kúrò lára Juda ọkùnrin àti obìnrin, ọmọdé àti èwe, tí ẹ kò sì ku ọ̀kankan?
And now, thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Why are you doing great evil to your own souls, to cut off man and woman, infant and suckling, from you, from the midst of Judah, so as not to leave a remnant to you:
8 Èéṣe tí ẹ fi mú mi bínú pẹ̀lú ohun tí ọwọ́ yín ṣe pẹ̀lú ẹbọ sísun sí àwọn òrìṣà Ejibiti, níbi tí ẹ wá láti máa gbé? Ẹ̀ ò pa ara yín run, ẹ̀ ó sì sọ ara yín di ẹni ìfiré àti ẹ̀gàn láàrín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè ayé gbogbo.
by provoking Me to anger by the works of your hands, by making incense to other gods in the land of Egypt, to where you are going to sojourn, so as to cut yourselves off, and so as to your being for a reviling and for a reproach among all nations of the earth?
9 Ṣé ẹ̀yin ti gbàgbé ibi tí àwọn baba ńlá yín àti àwọn ọba; àwọn ayaba Juda, àti àwọn ibi tí ẹ ti ṣe àti àwọn ìyàwó yín ní ilẹ̀ Juda àti ní òpópó Jerusalẹmu?
Have you forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, and the wickedness of the kings of Judah, and the wickedness of their wives, and your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives, that they have done in the land of Judah, and in streets of Jerusalem?
10 Láti ìgbà náà sí àkókò yìí, wọn kò rẹ ara wọn sílẹ̀ tàbí fi ìtẹríba hàn tàbí kí wọn ó tẹ̀lé òfin àti àṣẹ tí mo pa fún un yín àti àwọn baba yín.
They have not been humbled to this day, nor have they been afraid, nor have they walked in My law, and in My statutes, that I have set before you and before your fathers.
11 “Fún ìdí èyí, báyìí ni Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun, Ọlọ́run àwọn Israẹli wí: Mo ti pinnu láti mú ibi wá sí orí yín àti láti pa Juda run.
Therefore, thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Behold, I am setting My face against you for calamity, even to cut off all Judah,
12 Èmi yóò sì mú àwọn èérún tí ó kù ní Juda, tí wọ́n ṣetán láti lọ Ejibiti. Wọn yóò ṣubú pẹ̀lú idà tàbí kí wọn kú pẹ̀lú ìyàn láti orí ọmọdé títí dé àgbà ni wọn yóò kú láti ọwọ́ ìyàn tàbí idà. Wọn yóò di ẹni ìfiré àti ìparun, ẹni ẹ̀kọ̀ àti ẹni ẹ̀gàn.
and I have taken the remnant of Judah, who have set their faces to enter the land of Egypt to sojourn there, and they have all been consumed in the land of Egypt; they fall by sword [and] are consumed by famine, from the least even to the greatest, they die by sword and by famine, and they have been for an execration, for an astonishment, and for a reviling, and for a reproach.
13 Èmi yóò fi ìyà jẹ ẹni tí ó bá ń gbé ní Ejibiti pẹ̀lú idà, ìyàn àti àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn bí mo ṣe fi ìyà jẹ Jerusalẹmu.
And I have seen after those dwelling in the land of Egypt, as I saw after Jerusalem, with sword, with famine, and with pestilence,
14 Kò sí èyí tí ó kéré jù nínú Juda tí ó kù, tí ó ń gbé ilẹ̀ Ejibiti tí yóò sá àsálà padà sórí ilẹ̀ Juda, èyí tí wọ́n nífẹ̀ẹ́ láti padà sí, àti láti máa gbé; àyàfi àwọn aṣàtìpó mélòó kan.”
and there is not an escaped and remaining one of the remnant of Judah, who are entering into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, even to turn back to the land of Judah, to where they are lifting up their soul to return to dwell, for they do not turn back, except those escaping.”
15 Lẹ́yìn èyí, gbogbo àwọn ọkùnrin tí ẹ bá mọ̀ pé, ìyàwó wọn sun tùràrí sí àwọn òrìṣà pẹ̀lú àwọn obìnrin tí ó bá wá àwọn ènìyàn púpọ̀, pàápàá àwọn ènìyàn tí wọ́n ń gbé ní òkè àti ìsàlẹ̀ Ejibiti, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a wí fún Jeremiah.
And they answer Jeremiah—all the men who are knowing that their wives are making incense to other gods, and all the women who are remaining, a great assembly, even all the people who are dwelling in the land of Egypt, in Pathros—saying:
16 “Wọn sì wí pé, àwa kò ní fetísílẹ̀ ọ̀rọ̀ tí o bá bá wa sọ ní orúkọ Olúwa.
“The word that you have spoken to us in the Name of YHWH—we are not listening to you;
17 Dájúdájú, à ó ṣe gbogbo nǹkan tí a sọ pé à ò ṣe. A ó sun tùràrí sí ayaba ọ̀run, à ó sì da ohun mímu sílẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹbọ sí àwa àti àwọn baba wa, àwọn ọba àti àwọn aláṣẹ ti ṣe ní àwọn ìlú Juda àti ni àwọn ìgboro Jerusalẹmu. Nígbà náà àwa ní oúnjẹ púpọ̀, a sì ṣe rere a kò sì rí ibi.
for we certainly do everything that has gone out of our mouth, to make incense to the queen of the heavens, and to pour out drink-offerings to her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our heads, in cities of Judah, and in streets of Jerusalem, and—we are satisfied with bread, and we are well, and we have not seen calamity.
18 Ṣùgbọ́n láti ìgbà tí a ti dáwọ́ tùràrí sísun sí Ayaba Ọ̀run àti láti da ẹbọ ohun mímu fún un, àwa ti ṣaláìní ohun gbogbo, a sì run nípa idà àti nípa ìyàn.”
And from the time we have ceased to make incense to the queen of the heavens, and to pour out drink-offerings to her, we have lacked all, and we have been consumed by sword and by famine,
19 Àwọn obìnrin náà fi kún un pé, “Nígbà tí à ń jó tùràrí sí ayaba ọ̀run, tí a sì ń fi ohun mímu rú ẹbọ si; ǹjẹ́ àwọn ọkọ wa kò mọ pé àwa ń ṣe àkàrà bí i, àwòrán rẹ, àti wí pé à ń da ọtí si gẹ́gẹ́ bi ohun ìrúbọ?”
and when we are making incense to the queen of the heavens, and pouring out drink-offerings to her—have we made cakes for her to idolize her, and to pour out drink-offerings to her, without our husbands?”
20 Wàyí o, Jeremiah sọ fún àwọn ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn náà, ọkùnrin àti obìnrin, tí wọn sì ń dáhùn pé,
And Jeremiah says to all the people, concerning the men and concerning the women, and concerning all the people who are answering him, saying,
21 “Ṣe Olúwa kò rántí ẹbọ sísun ní ìlú Juda àti àwọn ìgboro Jerusalẹmu láti ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ àti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn baba rẹ, àwọn ọba àti àwọn aláṣẹ àti àwọn ènìyàn ìlú.
“The incense that you made in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, you, and your fathers, your kings, and your heads, and the people of the land, has YHWH not remembered it? Indeed, it comes up on His heart.
22 Nígbà tí Olúwa kò lè fi ara da ìwà búburú yín àti àwọn nǹkan ìríra gbogbo tí ẹ ṣe, ilẹ̀ yín sì di ohun ìfiré àti ìkọ̀sílẹ̀, láìsí olùgbé gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti ṣe wà lónìí.
And YHWH is not able to accept [you] anymore, because of the evil of your doings, because of the abominations that you have done, and your land is for a ruin, and for an astonishment, and for a reviling, without inhabitant, as [at] this day.
23 Nítorí pé ẹ ti sun ẹbọ, tí ẹ sì ti ṣẹ̀ sí Olúwa àti pé ẹ kò gbọ́rọ̀ sí i lẹ́nu, àti pé ẹ kò sì tẹ̀lé òfin rẹ̀ àti àwọn àṣẹ. Ibi náà yóò wá sórí rẹ àti bí o ṣe rí i.”
Because that you have made incense, and because you have sinned against YHWH, and have not listened to the voice of YHWH, and have not walked in His law, and in His statutes, and in His testimonies, therefore this calamity has met you as [at] this day.”
24 Nígbà náà ni Jeremiah dáhùn pẹ̀lú obìnrin náà pé, “Gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa, ẹ̀yin ọmọ Juda tí ó wà ní Ejibiti.
And Jeremiah says to all the people, and to all the women, “Hear a word of YHWH, all Judah who [are] in the land of Egypt:
25 Èyí ni ọ̀rọ̀ tí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí. Ìwọ àti àwọn ìyàwó rẹ fihàn pẹ̀lú àwọn ìhùwà rẹ àti àwọn ohun tí ó ṣèlérí nígbà tí o wí pé, ‘Àwa yóò mú ẹ̀jẹ́ tí a jẹ́ ṣẹ lórí sísun tùràrí àti dída ẹbọ ohun mímu sí orí ère Ayaba Ọ̀run.’ “Tẹ̀síwájú nígbà náà, ṣe ohun tí o sọ, kí o sì mú ẹ̀jẹ́ rẹ ṣẹ.
Thus spoke YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, saying, You and your wives both speak with your mouth, and with your hands have fulfilled, saying, We certainly execute our vows that we have vowed, to make incense to the queen of the heavens, and to pour out drink-offerings to her. You certainly establish your vows, and certainly execute your vows.
26 Ṣùgbọ́n gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa Olódùmarè, gbogbo ẹ̀yin Júù tí ń gbé ilẹ̀ Ejibiti, mo gégùn ún: ‘Mo búra pẹ̀lú títóbi orúkọ mi,’ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Olúwa wí, ‘pé kò sí ẹnikẹ́ni láti Juda tí ń gbé ibikíbi ní Ejibiti tí ó gbọdọ̀ ké pe orúkọ mi tàbí búra, “Gẹ́gẹ́ bí Ọlọ́run tí ó dá wa ti wà láààyè.”
Therefore, hear a word of YHWH, all Judah who are dwelling in the land of Egypt: Behold, I have sworn by My great Name, said YHWH, My Name is no longer proclaimed by the mouth of any man of Judah, saying, Lord YHWH lives—in all the land of Egypt.
27 Nítorí náà, èmi ó ṣọ wọ́n fún ibi, kì í ṣe fún rere. Àti gbogbo àwọn ọkùnrin Juda tí ó wà ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti ni a ó parun pẹ̀lú idà àti ìyàn títí tí gbogbo wọn yóò fi tán.
Behold, I am watching over them for calamity, and not for good, and all the men of Judah who [are] in the land of Egypt have been consumed by sword and by famine, until their consumption.
28 Àwọn tí ó bá sá àsálà kúrò lọ́wọ́ ìparun idà àti pípadà sí ilẹ̀ Juda láti Ejibiti yóò kéré níye. Gbogbo àwọn tí ó bá kú ní ilẹ̀ Juda, tí ó wá gbé ilẹ̀ Ejibiti yóò mọ ọ̀rọ̀ ẹni tí yóò dúró yálà tèmi tàbí tiyín.
And the escaped of the sword turn back out of the land of Egypt to the land of Judah, few in number, and all the remnant of Judah, who are coming into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, have known whose word is established, Mine or theirs.
29 “‘Èyí ni yóò jẹ́ àmì fún un yín pé èmi yóò fi ìyà jẹ yín níbi tí Olúwa ti sọ láti lè jẹ́ kí ẹ mọ̀ pé ìjìyà mi tí mo sọ pé ẹ̀ ó jẹ yóò ṣẹ.’
And this [is] the sign to you—a declaration of YHWH—that I am seeing after you in this place, so that you know that My words are certainly established against you for calamity—
30 Báyìí ni Olúwa wí: ‘Èmi yóò fi Farao Hofira ọba Ejibiti lé àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ̀ lọ́wọ́, èyí tí ó lè pa ayé rẹ́; gẹ́gẹ́ bí mo ti fi Sedekiah ọba Juda lé Nebukadnessari ọba Babeli lọ́wọ́ ọ̀tá tó ń lépa ẹ̀mí rẹ̀.’”
thus said YHWH: Behold, I am giving Pharaoh-Hophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of those seeking his life, as I have given Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, his enemy, and who is seeking his life.”
