Jeremiah 50
1 Èyí ni ọ̀rọ̀ tí Olúwa fi sẹ́nu wòlíì Jeremiah láti sọ fún ará ilẹ̀ Babeli:
The word that the LORD spake against Babylon [and] against the land of the Chaldeans by Jeremiah the prophet.
2 “Ẹ sọ ọ́ láàrín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè, ẹ sì kéde, kí ẹ sì gbé àsíá sókè, ẹ kéde rẹ̀ ẹ má sì ṣe bò ó, wí pé, ‘A kó Babeli, ojú tí Beli, a fọ́ Merodaki túútúú, ojú ti àwọn ère rẹ̀, a fọ́ àwọn òrìṣà rẹ̀ túútúú.’
Declare ye among the nations, and publish, and set up a standard; publish, [and] conceal not: say, Babylon is taken, Bel is confounded, Merodach is broken in pieces; her idols are confounded, her images are broken in pieces.
3 Àwọn ìlú ní apá àríwá yóò sì máa gbóguntì wọ́n. Gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn àti ẹranko ni yóò sá kúrò ní ìlú yìí.
For out of the north there cometh up a nation against her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell therein: they shall remove, they shall depart, both man and beast.
4 “Ní ọjọ́ wọ̀nyí àti ní àkókò náà,” ni Olúwa wí, “Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli yóò jùmọ̀ wá, àwọn, àti àwọn ọmọ Juda, wọn yóò lọ pẹ̀lú ẹkún láti ṣàfẹ́rí Olúwa Ọlọ́run wọn.
In those days, and in that time, saith the LORD, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together, going and weeping: they shall go, and seek the LORD their God.
5 Wọn ó máa béèrè ọ̀nà Sioni, ojú wọn yóò sì yí síhà ibẹ̀, wí pé ẹ wá, ẹ jẹ́ kí a darapọ̀ mọ́ Olúwa ní májẹ̀mú ayérayé, tí a kì yóò gbàgbé.
They shall ask the way to Zion with their faces thitherward, [saying], Come, and let us join ourselves to the LORD in a perpetual covenant [that] shall not be forgotten.
6 “Àwọn ènìyàn mi ti jẹ́ àgùntàn tí ó sọnù, àwọn olùṣọ́-àgùntàn wọn ti jẹ́ kí wọn ṣìnà, wọ́n ti jẹ́ kí wọn rìn lórí òkè wọ́n ti lọ láti orí òkè ńlá dé òkè kékeré, wọn ti gbàgbé ibùsùn wọn.
My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away [on] the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their restingplace.
7 Gbogbo àwọn tí ó rí wọn, ti pa wọ́n jẹ àwọn ọ̀tá wọ́n sì wí pé, ‘Àwa kò jẹ̀bi nítorí pé wọ́n ti ṣẹ̀ sí Olúwa ibùgbé òdodo àti ìrètí àwọn baba wọn.’
All that found them have devoured them: and their adversaries said, We offend not, because they have sinned against the LORD, the habitation of justice, even the LORD, the hope of their fathers.
8 “Jáde kúrò ní Babeli, ẹ fi ilẹ̀ àwọn ará Kaldea sílẹ̀, kí ẹ sì jẹ́ bí òbúkọ níwájú agbo ẹran.
Remove out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the he goats before the flocks.
9 Nítorí pé èmi yóò ru, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi yóò gbé sókè sí Babeli àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè ńlá láti ilẹ̀ àríwá. Wọn yóò gba àyà wọn lẹ́gbẹ́ rẹ̀; láti àríwá wá, à ó sì mú ọ. Ọfà wọn yóò dàbí ọfà àwọn akọni akíkanjú tí wọn kì í wà lọ́wọ́ òfo.
For, lo, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country: and they shall set themselves in array against her; from thence she shall be taken: their arrows [shall be] as of a mighty expert man; none shall return in vain.
10 A ó dààmú Babeli, gbogbo àwọn tó dààmú rẹ yóò sì mú ìfẹ́ wọn ṣẹ,” ni Olúwa wí.
And Chaldea shall be a spoil: all that spoil her shall be satisfied, saith the LORD.
11 “Nítorí pé inú yín dùn nítorí pé ẹ̀yìn yọ̀, ẹ̀yìn olè tí ó jí ìní mi, nítorí tí ẹ̀yìn fi ayọ̀ fò bí ẹgbọrọ abo màlúù sí koríko tútù, ẹ sì ń yan bí akọ ẹṣin.
Because ye were glad, because ye rejoiced, O ye destroyers of mine heritage, because ye are grown fat as the heifer at grass, and bellow as bulls;
12 Ojú yóò ti ìyá rẹ, ẹni tí ó bí ọ yóò sì gba ìtìjú. Òun ni yóò jẹ́ kékeré jù nínú àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè, ilẹ̀ aṣálẹ̀ àti aginjù tí kò lọ́ràá.
Your mother shall be sore confounded; she that bare you shall be ashamed: behold, the hindermost of the nations [shall be] a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.
13 Nítorí ìbínú Olúwa, kì yóò ní olùgbé; ẹnikẹ́ni kò sì ní gbé inú rẹ̀. Gbogbo àwọn tí ó bá kọjá ni Babeli yóò fi ṣe yẹ̀yẹ́ nítorí ọgbẹ́ rẹ̀.
Because of the wrath of the LORD it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be wholly desolate: every one that goeth by Babylon shall be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues.
14 “Dúró sí ààyè rẹ ìwọ Babeli àti gbogbo ẹ̀yin tí ẹ n ta ọfà náà. Ẹ ta ọfà náà sí i, nítorí ó ti ṣẹ̀ sí Olúwa.
Put yourselves in array against Babylon round about: all ye that bend the bow, shoot at her, spare no arrows: for she hath sinned against the LORD.
15 Kígbe mọ́ ọn ní gbogbo ọ̀nà! Ó tẹríba, òpó rẹ̀ sì yẹ̀, níwọ̀n ìgbà tí ó ti jẹ́ wí pé èyí ni ìgbẹ̀san Olúwa, gbẹ̀san lára rẹ̀. Ṣe sí i gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti ṣe sí àwọn ẹlòmíràn.
Shout against her round about: she hath given her hand: her foundations are fallen, her walls are thrown down: for it [is] the vengeance of the LORD: take vengeance upon her; as she hath done, do unto her.
16 Ké afúnrúgbìn kúrò ní Babeli, àti ẹni tí ń di dòjé mú ní igà ìkórè! Nítorí idà àwọn aninilára jẹ́ kí oníkálùkù padà sí ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀, kí oníkálùkù sì sá padà sí ilẹ̀ rẹ̀.
Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him that handleth the sickle in the time of harvest: for fear of the oppressing sword they shall turn every one to his people, and they shall flee every one to his own land.
17 “Israẹli jẹ́ àgùntàn tí ó ṣìnà kiri, kìnnìún sì ti lé e lọ. Níṣàájú ọba Asiria pa á jẹ, àti níkẹyìn yìí Nebukadnessari ọba Babeli fa egungun rẹ̀ ya.”
Israel [is] a scattered sheep; the lions have driven [him] away: first the king of Assyria hath devoured him; and last this Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath broken his bones.
18 Nítorí náà, èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run Alágbára, Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí, “Ǹ ó fi ìyà jẹ ọba Babeli àti ilẹ̀ rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí mo ti ṣe fìyà jẹ ọba, Asiria.
Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will punish the king of Babylon and his land, as I have punished the king of Assyria.
19 Ṣùgbọ́n, èmi yóò mú Israẹli padà wá pápá oko tútù rẹ̀ òun yóò sì máa bọ́ ara rẹ̀ lórí Karmeli àti Baṣani, a ó sì tẹ́ ọkàn rẹ̀ lọ́rùn ní òkè Efraimu àti ní Gileadi.
And I will bring Israel again to his habitation, and he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan, and his soul shall be satisfied upon mount Ephraim and Gilead.
20 Ní ọjọ́ wọ̀n-ọn-nì,” ni Olúwa wí, “À ó wá àìṣedéédéé ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ Israẹli, ṣùgbọ́n a ki yóò rí ohun; àti ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ Juda ni a ki yóò sì rí mọ kankan nítorí èmi yóò dáríjì àwọn tí ó ṣẹ́kù tí mo dá sí.
In those days, and in that time, saith the LORD, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and [there shall be] none; and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found: for I will pardon them whom I reserve.
21 “Kọlu ilẹ̀ Merataimu àti àwọn tí ó ń gbé ní Pekodi. Lépa rẹ pa, kí o sì parun pátápátá,” ni Olúwa wí, “Ṣe gbogbo ohun tí mo pàṣẹ fún ọ.
Go up against the land of Merathaim, [even] against it, and against the inhabitants of Pekod: waste and utterly destroy after them, saith the LORD, and do according to all that I have commanded thee.
22 Ariwo ogun wà ní ilẹ̀ náà ìrọ́kẹ̀kẹ̀ ìparun ńlá.
A sound of battle [is] in the land, and of great destruction.
23 Báwo ni ó ṣe fọ́, tí ó sì pín yẹ́lẹyẹ̀lẹ tó, lọ́wọ́ òòlù gbogbo ayé! Báwo ní Babeli ti di ahoro ni àárín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè.
How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken! how is Babylon become a desolation among the nations!
24 Mo dẹ pàkúté sílẹ̀ fún ọ ìwọ Babeli, kí o sì tó mọ ohun tí ó ń ṣẹlẹ̀, o ti kó sínú rẹ̀. A mú ọ nítorí pé o tako Olúwa.
I have laid a snare for thee, and thou art also taken, O Babylon, and thou wast not aware: thou art found, and also caught, because thou hast striven against the LORD.
25 Olúwa ti kó àwọn ohun èlò ìjà rẹ̀ jáde, nítorí pé Olúwa Ọlọ́run àwọn ọmọ-ogun ti ṣiṣẹ́ ní ilẹ̀ Babeli.
The LORD hath opened his armoury, and hath brought forth the weapons of his indignation: for this [is] the work of the Lord GOD of hosts in the land of the Chaldeans.
26 Ẹ wá sórí rẹ̀ láti òpin gbogbo, sí ilé ìṣúra rẹ̀ sílẹ̀, ẹ kó o jọ bí òkìtì ọkà, kí ẹ sì yà á sọ́tọ̀ fún ìparun, ẹ má ṣe fí yòókù sílẹ̀ fún un.
Come against her from the utmost border, open her storehouses: cast her up as heaps, and destroy her utterly: let nothing of her be left.
27 Pa gbogbo àwọn akọ màlúù rẹ, jẹ́ kí a kó wọn lọ ibi tí a ó ti pa wọ́n! Ègbé ní fún wọn! Nítorí ọjọ́ wọn dé, àkókò ìbẹ̀wò wọn.
Slay all her bullocks; let them go down to the slaughter: woe unto them! for their day is come, the time of their visitation.
28 Gbọ́ ohùn àwọn tí ó sálọ, tí ó sì sálà láti Babeli wá, sì sọ ní Sioni, bí Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa ti gbẹ̀san, ẹ̀san fún tẹmpili rẹ̀.
The voice of them that flee and escape out of the land of Babylon, to declare in Zion the vengeance of the LORD our God, the vengeance of his temple.
29 “Pe ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ènìyàn, àní gbogbo tafàtafà, sórí Babeli, ẹ dó tí ì yíkákiri, ma jẹ́ ki ẹnikẹ́ni sálà. Sán fún un gẹ́gẹ́ bí iṣẹ́ rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bi gbogbo èyí tí ó ti ṣe, ẹ ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ sí i, nítorí tí ó ti gbéraga sí Olúwa, sí Ẹni Mímọ́ Israẹli.
Call together the archers against Babylon: all ye that bend the bow, camp against it round about; let none thereof escape: recompense her according to her work; according to all that she hath done, do unto her: for she hath been proud against the LORD, against the Holy One of Israel.
30 Nítorí náà, àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ yóò ṣubú ní ìgboro, a ó sì pa àwọn ológun lẹ́nu mọ́,” ní Olúwa wí.
Therefore shall her young men fall in the streets, and all her men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the LORD.
31 “Wò ó, èmi yóò dojú kọ ọ́ ìwọ agbéraga,” ni Olúwa, Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí, “nítorí ọjọ́ rẹ ti dé, àkókò tí èmi ó bẹ̀ ọ wò.
Behold, I [am] against thee, [O thou] most proud, saith the Lord GOD of hosts: for thy day is come, the time [that] I will visit thee.
32 Onígbèéraga yóò kọsẹ̀, yóò sì ṣubú, kì yóò sì ṣí ẹni tí yóò gbé dìde. Èmi yóò tan iná ní ìlú náà, èyí tí yóò sì jo run.”
And the most proud shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up: and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all round about him.
33 Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun sọ: “A pọ́n àwọn ènìyàn Israẹli lójú àti àwọn ènìyàn Juda pẹ̀lú. Gbogbo àwọn tí ó kó wọn nígbèkùn dì wọn mú ṣinṣin wọn kò sì jẹ́ kí ó sá àsálà.
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The children of Israel and the children of Judah [were] oppressed together: and all that took them captives held them fast; they refused to let them go.
34 Síbẹ̀, Olùràpadà wọn, Alágbára, Olúwa Ọlọ́run Alágbára ni orúkọ rẹ̀. Yóò sì gbe ìjà wọn jà, kí ó ba à lè mú wọn wá sinmi ní ilẹ̀ náà; ṣùgbọ́n kò sí ìsinmi fún àwọn tí ó ń gbé Babeli.
Their Redeemer [is] strong; the LORD of hosts [is] his name: he shall throughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to the land, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.
35 “Idà lórí àwọn Babeli!” ni Olúwa wí, “lòdì sí àwọn tó ń gbé ní Babeli, àwọn aláṣẹ àti àwọn amòye ọkùnrin.
A sword [is] upon the Chaldeans, saith the LORD, and upon the inhabitants of Babylon, and upon her princes, and upon her wise [men].
36 Idà lórí àwọn wòlíì èké wọn yóò di òmùgọ̀! Idà lórí àwọn jagunjagun, wọn yóò sì kún fún ẹ̀rù.
A sword [is] upon the liars; and they shall dote: a sword [is] upon her mighty men; and they shall be dismayed.
37 Idà lórí àwọn kẹ̀kẹ́-ẹṣin rẹ̀ àti àwọn àjèjì nínú ẹgbẹ́ rẹ̀. Wọn yóò di obìnrin. Idà lórí àwọn ohun ìṣúra rẹ̀!
A sword [is] upon their horses, and upon their chariots, and upon all the mingled people that [are] in the midst of her; and they shall become as women: a sword [is] upon her treasures; and they shall be robbed.
38 Ilẹ̀ gbígbẹ lórí omi rẹ̀; yóò sì gbẹ. Nítorí pé ó jẹ́ ilẹ̀ àwọn ère, àwọn ère tí yóò ya òmùgọ̀ pẹ̀lú ẹ̀rù.
A drought [is] upon her waters; and they shall be dried up: for it [is] the land of graven images, and they are mad upon [their] idols.
39 “Nítorí náà àwọn ẹranko ijù pẹ̀lú ọ̀wàwà ni yóò máa gbé ibẹ̀, abo ògòǹgò yóò sì máa gbé inú rẹ̀, a kì yóò sì gbé inú rẹ̀ mọ́, láéláé, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a kì yóò ṣàtìpó nínú rẹ̀ láti ìrandíran.
Therefore the wild beasts of the desert with the wild beasts of the islands shall dwell [there], and the owls shall dwell therein: and it shall be no more inhabited for ever; neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation.
40 Gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti gba ìjọba Sodomu àti Gomorra pẹ̀lú àwọn ìlú agbègbè wọn,” ni Olúwa wí, “torí náà kò sí ẹnikẹ́ni tí yóò gbé ibẹ̀; ènìyàn ki yóò gbé nínú rè.
As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour [cities] thereof, saith the LORD; [so] shall no man abide there, neither shall any son of man dwell therein.
41 “Wò ó! Ọ̀wọ́ ọmọ-ogun láti ìhà àríwá; orílẹ̀-èdè ńlá àti àwọn ọba púpọ̀ ni à ń gbé dìde láti òpin ilẹ̀ ayé.
Behold, a people shall come from the north, and a great nation, and many kings shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.
42 Wọ́n sì di ìhámọ́ra ọ̀kọ̀ àti ọrun, wọ́n burú wọn kò sì ní àánú. Wọ́n n ké bí i rírú omi bí wọ́n ti ṣe ń gun ẹṣin wọn lọ. Wọ́n wá bí àkójọpọ̀ ogun láti kọlù ọ́, ìwọ ọmọbìnrin Babeli.
They shall hold the bow and the lance: they [are] cruel, and will not shew mercy: their voice shall roar like the sea, and they shall ride upon horses, [every one] put in array, like a man to the battle, against thee, O daughter of Babylon.
43 Ọba Babeli ti gbọ́ ìròyìn nípa wọn, ọwọ́ wọn sì rọ, ìrora mú wọn bí obìnrin tí ó ń rọbí.
The king of Babylon hath heard the report of them, and his hands waxed feeble: anguish took hold of him, [and] pangs as of a woman in travail.
44 Bí i kìnnìún ni òun ó gòkè wá láti igbó Jordani sí orí ilẹ̀ ọlọ́ràá, Èmi ó lé Babeli kúrò ní ilẹ̀ rẹ̀ ní kíákíá. Ta ni àyànfẹ́ náà tí èmi ó yàn sórí rẹ̀? Ta ló dàbí mi, ta ni ó sì pé mi ṣe ẹlẹ́rìí? Ta ni olùṣọ́-àgùntàn náà tí yóò le dúró níwájú mi?”
Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan unto the habitation of the strong: but I will make them suddenly run away from her: and who [is] a chosen [man, that] I may appoint over her? for who [is] like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who [is] that shepherd that will stand before me?
45 Nítorí náà, gbọ́ ohun tí Olúwa sọ nípa Babeli, ẹni tí ó gbìmọ̀ lòdì sí Babeli: n ó sì pa agbo ẹran wọn run.
Therefore hear ye the counsel of the LORD, that he hath taken against Babylon; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out: surely he shall make [their] habitation desolate with them.
46 Ní ohùn igbe ńlá pé; a kò Babeli, ilẹ̀ ayé yóò mì tìtì, a sì gbọ́ igbe náà láàrín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè.
At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth is moved, and the cry is heard among the nations.
