< Jeremiah 48 >

1 Nípa Moabu. Báyìí ni Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun, Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí: “Ègbé ni fún Nebo nítorí a ó parun. A dójútì Kiriataimu, a sì mú un, ojú yóò ti alágbára, a ó sì fọ́nká.
Of Moab, —Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts God of Israel, —Alas for Nebo, for it is laid waste, put to shame—captured, is Kiriathaim, put to shame is Misgab, and dismayed.
2 Moabu kò ní ní ìyìn mọ́, ní Heṣboni ni wọn ó pète ìparun rẹ̀, ‘Wá, kí a pa orílẹ̀-èdè náà run.’ Àti ẹ̀yin òmùgọ̀ ọkùnrin pàápàá ni a ó pa lẹ́nu mọ́, a ó fi idà lé e yín.
No more, is the praise of Moab, In Heshbon, have they devised against her, calamity, Come, and let us cut her off from being a nation, —Even thou, Madmen also, shalt be silenced, After thee, shall march the sword.
3 Gbọ́ igbe ní Horonaimu, igbe ìrora àti ìparun ńlá.
A voice of outcry, from Horonaim, —Wasting and great destruction!
4 Moabu yóò di wíwó palẹ̀; àwọn ọmọdé rẹ̀ yóò kígbe síta.
Moab is broken: Her little ones, have caused to be heard an outcry.
5 Wọ́n gòkè lọ sí Luhiti, wọ́n ń sọkún kíkorò bí wọ́n ti ń lọ; ní ojú ọ̀nà sí Horonaimu igbe ìrora ìparun ni à ń gbọ́ lọ.
For the ascent of Luhith, with weeping, one ascendeth—with weeping, —For in the descent of Horonaim, the distress of the outcry of destruction, have they heard:
6 Sá! Àsálà fún ẹ̀mí yín; kí ẹ sì dàbí aláìní ní aginjù.
Flee deliver your own lives, —Then shall the women be as a shrub in the desert.
7 Níwọ́n ìgbà tí o gbẹ́kẹ̀lé agbára àti ọrọ̀ rẹ, a ó kó ìwọ náà ní ìgbèkùn, Kemoṣi náà yóò lọ sí ilẹ̀ ìgbèkùn pẹ̀lú àlùfáà àti àwọn aláṣẹ rẹ̀.
For seeing thou hast trusted in thy works and in thy treasures, Thou too, shalt be captured, —Then shall Chemosh go forth into captivity, His priests and his princes together.
8 Gbogbo ìlú rẹ ni apanirun yóò dojúkọ, ìlú kan kò sì ní le là. Àfonífojì yóò di ahoro àti ilẹ̀ títẹ́ ni a ó run, nítorí tí Olúwa ti sọ̀rọ̀.
And the spoiler shall enter into every city, And not, a city, shall escape, Then shall perish the vale Then be destroyed the table-land, —As Yahweh hath said.
9 Fi iyọ̀ sí Moabu, nítorí yóò ṣègbé, àwọn ìlú rẹ yóò sì di ahoro láìsí ẹni tí yóò gbé inú rẹ̀.
Give wing to Moab, For she must, fly away; And her cities To desolation, shall be turned, With no inhabitant therein.
10 “Ìfibú ni fún ẹni tí ó fi ìmẹ́lẹ́ ṣe iṣẹ́ Olúwa, ìfibú ni fún ẹni tí ó pa idà mọ́ fún ìtàjẹ̀ sílẹ̀.
Accursed be he that doeth the business of Yahweh carelessly; And, accursed be he that withholdeth his sword, from blood!
11 “Moabu ti wà ní ìsinmi láti ìgbà èwe rẹ̀ wá bí i ọtí wáìnì lórí gẹ̀dẹ̀gẹ́dẹ̀ rẹ̀, tí a kò dà láti ìgò kan sí èkejì kò tí ì lọ sí ilẹ̀ ìgbèkùn rí. Ó dùn lẹ́nu bí ó ti yẹ, òórùn rẹ̀ kò yí padà.
Moab, hath been at ease from his youth, And settled is he upon his lees, And hath not been poured out from vessel to vessel, Nor into captivity, hath gone, —For this cause, hath his flavour stood still within him, And his scent is unchanged.
12 Ṣùgbọ́n ọjọ́ ń bọ̀,” ni Olúwa wí, “nígbà tí n ó rán àwọn tí ó n da ọtí láti inú àwọn ìgò tí wọ́n ó sì dà á síta; wọn ó sọ àwọn ìgò rẹ̀ di òfo, wọn ó sì fọ́ àwọn ife rẹ̀.
Therefore, lo! days are coming, Declareth Yahweh, When I will send to him tilters and they shall tilt him, —And his vessels, shall they empty, And their jars, shall they dash in pieces.
13 Nígbà náà Moabu yóò sì tú u nítorí Kemoṣi, bí ojú ti í ti ilé Israẹli nígbà tí ó gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Beteli.
Then shall Moab, be ashamed, of, Chemosh, —Just as, the sons of Israel, were ashamed of Bethel their confidence.
14 “Báwo ni o ṣe lè sọ pé, ‘Ajagun ni wá, alágbára ní ogun jíjà’?
How can ye say, Heroes, are we? and Men of might for the war?
15 A ó pa Moabu run, a ó sì gba àwọn ìlú rẹ̀; a ó sì dúńbú àwọn arẹwà ọkùnrin rẹ̀,” ni ọba wí, ẹni tí orúkọ rẹ̀ ń jẹ́ Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun.
Spoiled is Moab And her cities, hath he ascended, And the choice of his young men, have gone down to the slaughter, —Declareth The King, Yahweh of hosts, is his Name.
16 “Ìṣubú Moabu súnmọ́; ìpọ́njú yóò dé kánkán.
Near is the doom of Moab, to come, —And, his calamity, hasteth greatly.
17 Ẹ dárò fún, gbogbo ẹ̀yin tí ó yí i ká gbogbo ẹ̀yin tí ẹ mọ bí ó ti ní òkìkí tó. Ẹ sọ pé, ‘Báwo ni ọ̀pá agbára rẹ títóbi tí ó sì lógo ṣe fọ́!’
Lament ye for him—All that are round about him, and All that know his name, —Say, How is broken—The staff of strength! The rod of beauty!
18 “Sọ̀kalẹ̀ níbi ògo rẹ, kí o sì jókòó ní ilẹ̀ gbígbẹ, ẹ̀yin olùgbé ọmọbìnrin Diboni, nítorí tí ẹni tí ó pa Moabu run yóò dojúkọ ọ́ yóò sì pa àwọn ìlú olódi rẹ run.
Come down from glory, and sit in thirst, O inhabitress daughter of Dibon; For the spoiler of Moab, hath come up against thee, He hath laid in ruins thy strongholds.
19 Dúró lẹ́bàá ọ̀nà kí o sì wòran, ìwọ tí ń gbé ní Aroeri. Bí ọkùnrin tí ó sálọ àti obìnrin tí ó ń sá àsálà ‘Kí ni ohun tí ó ṣẹlẹ̀?’
Near the way, take thy stand and keep outlook, O inhabitress of Aroer: Ask—him that fleeth, and Her that hath escaped, Say, What hath happened?
20 Ojú ti Moabu nítorí tí a wó o lulẹ̀. Ẹ hu, kí ẹ sì kígbe! Ẹ kéde rẹ̀ ní Arnoni pé, a pa Moabu run.
Confounded is Moab! For it is broken down! Howl and make outcry, —Tell ye in Arnon, That Moab is spoiled;
21 Ìdájọ́ ti dé sí àwọn òkè pẹrẹsẹ, sórí Holoni, Jahisa àti Mefaati,
And, judgment, hath come Upon the country of the table-land, —Upon Holon, and Upon Jazer and Upon Mephaath;
22 sórí Diboni, Nebo àti Beti-Diblataimu,
and Upon Dibon, and Upon Nebo, and Upon Beth-diblathaim;
23 sórí Kiriataimu, Beti-Gamu àti Beti-Meoni,
and Upon Kiriathaim, and Upon Beth-gamul, and Upon Beth-meon;
24 sórí Kerioti àti Bosra, sórí gbogbo ìlú Moabu, nítòsí àti ní ọ̀nà jíjìn.
and Upon Kerioth, and Upon Bozrah, —Yea, upon all the cities of the land of Moab, far and near.
25 A gé ìwo Moabu kúrò, apá rẹ̀ dá,” ni Olúwa wí.
Cut off is the horn of Moab, Yea, his arm, is broken, —Declareth Yahweh.
26 “Ẹ jẹ́ kí a mú u mutí nítorí ó kó ìdọ̀tí bá Olúwa, jẹ́ kí Moabu lúwẹ̀ẹ́ nínú èébì rẹ̀, kí ó di ẹni ẹ̀gàn.
Make ye him drunken, Because against Yahweh, hath he magnified himself; So shall, Moab, stagger, into his own vomit, And shall become a derision, even he!
27 Ǹjẹ́ Israẹli kò di ẹni ẹ̀gàn rẹ? Ǹjẹ́ a kó o pẹ̀lú àwọn olè tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí o ń gbọn orí rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú yẹ̀yẹ́ nígbàkígbà bí a bá sọ̀rọ̀ nípa rẹ̀?
And was it not, a derision, that Israel became to thee? And was it not among thieves, he was found? For, as often as thou didst speak of him, thou didst wag the head!
28 Kúrò ní àwọn ìlú rẹ, kí o sì máa gbé láàrín àwọn òkúta, ẹ̀yin tí ó ti ń gbé inú ìlú Moabu. Ẹ dàbí i àdàbà tí ó kọ́ ìtẹ́ rẹ̀ sí ẹnu ihò.
Leave ye the cities and dwell in the cliff, Ye inhabitants of Moab; And become ye as a dove, that maketh her nest in the further-side of the fissure’s mouth.
29 “A ti gbọ́ nípa ìgbéraga Moabu: àti ìwà mo gbọ́n tan rẹ̀ àti ìgbéraga ọkàn rẹ̀.
We have heard the arrogance of Moab—proud exceedingly: His loftiness and his arrogance and his majesty, and his elevation of heart!
30 Mo mọ àfojúdi rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n òfo ni,” ni Olúwa wí, “ìfọ́nnu rẹ̀ kò lè ṣe nǹkan kan.
I know—Declareth Yahweh His passion—that’tis Unjust! His boastings, that Untrue have they made [them]!
31 Nítorí náà, mo pohùnréré ẹkún lórí Moabu fún àwọn ará Moabu ni mo kígbe lóhùn rara, mo kẹ́dùn fún àwọn ọkùnrin Kiri-Hareseti.
For this cause over Moab, will I howl, And for all Moab, will I make outcry, —For the men of Kir-heres, must one moan!
32 Mo sọkún fún ọ bí Jaseri ṣe sọkún ìwọ àjàrà Sibma. Ẹ̀ka rẹ tẹ̀ títí dé Òkun, wọn dé Òkun Jaseri. Ajẹnirun ti kọlu èso rẹ, ìkórè èso àjàrà rẹ.
Beyond the weeping of Jazer, will I weep for thee O vine of Sibmah, Thy tendrils, have gone over the sea, Unto the sea of Jazer, have they reached, Upon thy summer fruits And upon thy vintage, the spoiler, hath fallen.
33 Ayọ̀ àti ìdùnnú ti kúrò nínú ọgbà àjàrà àti oko Moabu. Mo dá ọwọ́ ṣíṣàn ọtí wáìnì dúró lọ́dọ̀ olùfúntí; kò sí ẹni tí ó ń tẹ̀ wọ́n pẹ̀lú igbe ayọ̀. Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé igbe wà, wọn kì í ṣe igbe ti ayọ̀.
So shall be withdrawn gladness and exultation—From the fruitful field and From the land of Moab, —And wine from the vats, have I caused to fail, They shall not tread with shouting, The shouting shall be no shouting!
34 “Ohùn igbe wọn gòkè láti Heṣboni dé Eleale àti Jahasi, láti Soari títí dé Horonaimu àti Eglati-Ṣeliṣi, nítorí àwọn omi Nimrimu pẹ̀lú yóò gbẹ.
From the outcry of Heshbon, Even unto Elealeh Even unto Jahaz, have they given forth their voice, From Zoar even unto Horonaim, the third Eglath, —For, even the waters of Nimrim, to utter desolation, have been turned:
35 Ní ti Moabu ni èmi yóò ti fi òpin sí ẹni tí ó rú ẹbọ ní ibí gíga àti ẹni tí ń sun tùràrí fún òrìṣà rẹ̀,” ni Olúwa wí.
Then will I cause to cease, from Moab, Declareth Yahweh, —him that offereth at a high-place, and him that burneth incense to his gods.
36 “Nítorí náà ọkàn mi ró fún Moabu bí fèrè, ọkàn mi ró bí fèrè fún àwọn ọkùnrin Kiri-Hareseti. Nítorí ìṣúra tí ó kójọ ṣègbé.
For this cause, my heart, for Moab, like flutes, shall make plaintive sounds, Yea my heart for the men of Kir-heres! like flutes, shall make plaintive sounds, Because, the abundance he hath gotten is lost!
37 Gbogbo orí ni yóò pá, gbogbo irùngbọ̀n ni a ó gé kúrò, gbogbo ọwọ́ ni a sá lọ́gbẹ́, àti aṣọ ọ̀fọ̀ ní gbogbo ẹ̀gbẹ́.
For, every head, is baldness, And every beard, clipped: Upon all hands, are gashes, And upon the loins, sackcloth
38 Ẹkún ńlá ní yóò wà lórí gbogbo òrùlé Moabu, àti ní ìta rẹ̀, nítorí èmi ti fọ́ Moabu bí a ti ń fọ́ ohun èlò tí kò wu ni,” ni Olúwa wí.
Upon all the housetops of Moab And in her broadways, it is all lamentation, —For I have broken Moab—Like a vessel wherein is no pleasure Declareth Yahweh.
39 “Èéṣe tí ẹ fi fọ́ túútúú, tí ẹ sì fi ń pohùnréré ẹkún! Báwo ni Moabu ṣe yí ẹ̀yìn padà ní ìtìjú! Moabu ti di ẹni ìtìjú àti ẹ̀gàn àti ìdààmú sí gbogbo àwọn tí ó yìí ká.”
How it is broken down! They have howled, How hath Moab turned the back, for shame, —So shall Moab become a derision and a terror to all round about him.
40 Báyìí ni Olúwa wí: “Wò ó ẹyẹ idì náà ń fò bọ̀ nílẹ̀ ó sì na ìyẹ́ rẹ̀ lórí Moabu.
For, thus, saith Yahweh, Lo! as an eagle, shall one dart along, —And shall spread out his wings towards Moab.
41 Kerioti ni a ó kó lẹ́rú àti ilé agbára ni ó gbà. Ní ọjọ́ náà ọkàn àwọn akọni Moabu yóò dàbí ọkàn obìnrin tí ó ń rọbí.
Captured is Kerioth, And the fortresses, are seized, —Then shall the heart of the heroes of Moab become in that day, As the heart of a woman in her pains.
42 A ó pa Moabu run gẹ́gẹ́ bí orílẹ̀-èdè nítorí pé ó gbéraga sí Olúwa.
Then shall, Moab, be destroyed from being a people, —Because against Yahweh, hath he magnified himself.
43 Ẹ̀rù àti ọ̀fìn àti okùn dídè ń dúró dè yín, ẹ̀yin ènìyàn Moabu,” ní Olúwa wí.
Terror and pit and snare are upon thee O inhabitant of Moab Declareth Yahweh:
44 “Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá sá fún ẹ̀rù yóò ṣubú sínú ọ̀fìn ẹnikẹ́ni tí o bá jáde síta nínú ọ̀fìn ní à ó mú nínú okùn dídè nítorí tí èmi yóò mú wá sórí Moabu àní ọdún ìjìyà rẹ,” ní Olúwa wí.
He that fleeth from the face of the terror, Shall fall into the pit, And, he that getteth up out of the pit, Shall be captured by the snare, —For I will bring against her—against Moab, The year of their visitation, Declareth Yahweh.
45 “Ní abẹ́ òjìji Heṣboni àwọn tí ó sá dúró láìní agbára, nítorí iná ti jáde wá láti Heṣboni, àti ọwọ́ iná láti àárín Sihoni, yóò sì jó iwájú orí Moabu run, àti agbárí àwọn ọmọ aláriwo.
In the shadow of Heshbon, stand strengthless, the fugitives, —For, a fire, hath gone forth out of Heshbon And shall flame out of the midst of Sihon, And shall devour the beard of Moab, And the crown of the head of the proudly tumultuous.
46 Ègbé ní fún ọ Moabu! Àwọn ènìyàn orílẹ̀-èdè Kemoṣi ṣègbé a kó àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ lọ sí ilẹ̀ àjèjì àti àwọn ọmọbìnrin rẹ lọ sí ìgbèkùn.
Woe to thee Moab! Lost are the people of Chemosh, —For thy sons have been taken, into captivity, And thy daughters into captivity.
47 “Síbẹ̀, èmi yóò dá ìkólọ Moabu padà ní ọjọ́ ìkẹyìn,” ni Olúwa wí. Eléyìí ní ìdájọ́ ìkẹyìn lórí Moabu.
Yet will I bring back the captivity of Moab, In the afterpart of the days, Declareth Yahweh, Thus far, is the sentence of Moab.
