Jeremiah 7
1 Èyí ni ọ̀rọ̀ tó tọ Jeremiah wá láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa.
Hear ye the word of the Lord, all Judea.
2 “Dúró ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà ilé Olúwa kí o sì kéde ọ̀rọ̀ yí: “‘Ẹ gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa gbogbo ẹ̀yin ará Juda tí ń gba ọ̀nà yí wọlé láti wá sin Olúwa.
3 Èyí ni ọ̀rọ̀ tí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí: Tún àwọn ọ̀nà yín ṣe, èmi yóò sì jẹ́ kí ẹ gbé ilẹ̀ yìí.
Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Correct your ways and your devices, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.
4 Má ṣe gba ọ̀rọ̀ ẹ̀tàn gbọ́ kí ẹ sì wí pé, “Èyí ni tẹmpili Olúwa ilé tẹmpili Olúwa, ilé tẹmpili Olúwa!”
Trust not in yourselves with lying words, for they shall not profit you at all, saying, It is the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord.
5 Bí ẹ̀yin bá tún ọ̀nà yín àti iṣẹ́ yín ṣe nítòótọ́, tí ẹ sì ń bá ara yín lò ní ọ̀nà tó tọ́.
For if ye thoroughly correct your ways and your practices, and do indeed execute judgment between a man and his neighbour;
6 Bí ẹ kò bá fi ara ni àwọn àlejò, àwọn ọmọ aláìní baba àti àwọn opó tí ẹ kò sì ta ẹ̀jẹ̀ aláìṣẹ̀ sílẹ̀ ní ibí yìí, bí ẹ kò bá sì tọ ọlọ́run mìíràn lẹ́yìn sí ìpalára ara yín.
and oppress not the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, and go not after strange gods to your hurt:
7 Nígbà náà ni èmi yóò jẹ́ kí ẹ gbé ìbí yìí, nílẹ̀ tí mo fún àwọn baba ńlá yín títí láé.
then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land which I gave to your fathers of old and for ever.
8 Ẹ wò ó, ẹ ń gba ọ̀rọ̀ ẹ̀tàn tí kò níláárí gbọ́.
But whereas ye have trusted in lying words, whereby ye shall not be profited;
9 “‘Ẹ̀yin yóò ha jalè, kí ẹ pànìyàn, kí ẹ ṣe panṣágà, kí ẹ búra èké, kí ẹ sun tùràrí sí Baali, kí ẹ sì tọ ọlọ́run mìíràn tí ẹ̀yin kò mọ̀ lọ?
and ye murder, and commit adultery, and steal, and swear falsely, and burn incense to Baal, and are gone after strange gods whom ye know not,
10 Nígbà náà ni kí ó wá dúró ní iwájú nínú ilé yìí tí a fi orúkọ mi pè, “Kí ẹ wá wí pé àwa yè,” àwa yè láti ṣe gbogbo àwọn nǹkan ìríra wọ̀nyí bí?
so that it is evil with you; yet have ye come, and stood before me in the house, whereon my name is called, and ye have said, We have refrained from doing all these abominations.
11 Ṣé ilé yìí, tí a fi orúkọ mi pè ti di ihò àwọn ọlọ́ṣà lọ́dọ̀ yín ni? Èmi ti ń wò ó! ni Olúwa wí.
Is my house, whereon my name is called, a den of robbers in your eyes? And, behold, I have seen [it], saith the Lord.
12 “‘Ẹ lọ nísinsin yìí sí Ṣilo níbi ti mo kọ́ fi ṣe ibùgbé fún orúkọ mi, kí ẹ sì rí ohun tí mo ṣe sí i nítorí ìwà búburú Israẹli tí í ṣe ènìyàn mi.
For go ye to my place with is in Selo, where I caused my name to dwell before, and see what I did to it because of the wickedness of my people Israel.
13 Nígbà tí ẹ̀yin ń ṣe àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí ni èmi bá a yín sọ̀rọ̀ léraléra ni Olúwa wí ẹ̀yin kò gbọ́, èmi pè yín, ẹ̀yin kò dáhùn.
And now, because ye have done all these deeds, and I spoke to you, but ye hearkened not to me; and I called you, but ye answered not;
14 Nítorí náà, èmi yóò ṣe ohun tí mo ṣe sí Ṣilo sí ilé náà tí a fi orúkọ mi pè, ilé tẹmpili nínú èyí tí ẹ ní ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé, ààyè tí mo fún ẹ̀yin àti àwọn baba yín.
therefore I also will do to the house whereon my name is called, wherein ye trust, and to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I did to Selo.
15 Èmi yóò tú kúrò ní iwájú mi gẹ́gẹ́ bí mo ti ṣe sí àwọn arákùnrin yín, àwọn ará Efraimu.’
And I will cast you out of my sight, as I cast away your brethren, all the seed of Ephraim.
16 “Nítorí náà má ṣe gbàdúrà fún àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí tàbí kí o bẹ̀bẹ̀ fún wọn; ma ṣe bẹ̀ mí, nítorí èmi kì yóò tẹ́tí sí ọ.
Therefore pray not thou for this people, and intercede not for them to be pitied, yea, pray not, and approach me not for them: for I will not hearken [unto thee].
17 Ṣé ìwọ kò rí ohun tí wọ́n ń ṣe ní àwọn ìlú Juda àti ní òpópó Jerusalẹmu?
Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem?
18 Àwọn ọmọ ṣa igi jọ, àwọn baba fi iná sí i, àwọn ìyá sì po ìyẹ̀fun láti ṣe àkàrà fún ayaba ọ̀run, wọ́n tú ẹbọ ọrẹ mímu sí àwọn ọlọ́run àjèjì láti ru bínú mi sókè.
Their children gather wood, and their fathers kindle a fire, and their women knead dough, to make cakes to the host of heaven; and they have poured out drink-offerings to strange gods, that they might provoke me to anger.
19 Ṣùgbọ́n ṣe èmi ni wọ́n fẹ́ mú bínú? ni Olúwa wí. Ǹjẹ́ kì í ṣe pé wọ́n kúkú ń pa ara wọn lára sí ìtìjú ara wọn?
Do they provoke me to anger? saith the Lord: do they not [provoke] themselves, that their faces may be ashamed?
20 “‘Nítorí náà, èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa Olódùmarè wí, “Èmi yóò tú ìbínú àti ìrunú mi sí orílẹ̀ yìí ènìyàn àti ẹranko, igi, pápá àti èso orí ilẹ̀, yóò sì jó tí kò ní ṣe é pa.”
Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, my anger and wrath shall be poured out upon this place, and upon the men, and upon the cattle, and upon every tree of their field, and upon the fruits of the land; and it shall burn, and not be quenched.
21 “‘Èyí ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run àwọn ọmọ-ogun, Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí: Tẹ̀síwájú kí ẹ kó ẹbọ sísun yín àti àwọn ẹbọ yòókù papọ̀ kí ẹ̀yin kí ó sì jẹ ẹran wọ́n fúnra yín.
Thus saith the Lord, Gather your whole-burnt-offerings with your meat-offerings, and eat flesh.
22 Ní tòsí nígbà tí mo mú àwọn baba ńlá yín jáde kúrò ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti tí mo sì bá wọn sọ̀rọ̀. N kò pàṣẹ fún wọn lórí ẹbọ sísun lásán.
For I spoke not to your fathers, and commanded them not in the day wherein I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, concerning whole-burnt-offerings and sacrifice:
23 Mo pàṣẹ fún wọn báyìí pé; gbọ́ tèmi, èmi yóò sì jẹ́ Ọlọ́run yín ẹ̀yin yóò sì jẹ́ ènìyàn mi. Máa rìn ní ojú ọ̀nà tí mo pàṣẹ fún yín, kí ó lè dára fún yín.
but I commanded them this thing, saying, Hear ye my voice, and I will be to you a God, and ye shall be to me a people: and walk ye in all my ways which I shall command you, that it may be well with you.
24 Ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò gbọ́, wọn kò sì fetísílẹ̀ dípò èyí wọ́n ń tẹ̀ sí ọ̀nà agídí ọkàn wọn. Dípò kí wọn tẹ̀síwájú wọ́n ń rẹ̀yìn.
But they hearkened not to me, and their ear gave no heed, but they walked in the imaginations of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward;
25 Láti ìgbà tí àwọn baba ńlá yín ti jáde ní Ejibiti títí di òní, ni èmi ti ń rán àwọn ìránṣẹ́ mi, àwọn wòlíì sí yín.
from the day that their fathers went forth out of the land of Egypt, even until this day. And I sent to you all my servants, the prophets, by day and early in the morning: yea, I sent [them],
26 Wọn kò gbọ́ wọn kò sì fetísílẹ̀. Wọ́n wa ọrùn le, wọn wa ọrùn kì, wọ́n sì hu ìwà ìbàjẹ́ ju àwọn baba ńlá wọn.’
but they hearkened not to me, and their ear gave no heed; and they made their neck harder than their fathers.
27 “Nígbà tí ìwọ bá sọ gbogbo èyí fún wọn, wọn kì yóò gbọ́ tirẹ̀, nígbà tí ìwọ bá sì pè wọ́n, wọn kì yóò dáhùn.
Therefore thou shalt speak this word to them;
28 Nítorí náà, sọ fún wọn pé, ‘Èyí ni orílẹ̀-èdè tí kò gbọ́ ti Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ̀ tàbí kí ó ṣe ìgbọ́ràn sí ìbáwí. Ọ̀rọ̀ òtítọ́ kò sí ní ètè wọn.
This is the nation which has not hearkened to the voice of the Lord, nor received correction: truth has failed from their mouth.
29 “‘Gé irun yín kí ẹ sì dàánù, pohùnréré ẹkún lórí òkè, nítorí Olúwa ti kọ ìran yìí tí ó wà lábẹ́ ìbínú rẹ̀ sílẹ̀.
Cut off thine hair, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on thy lips; for the Lord has reprobated and rejected the generation that does these things.
30 “‘Àwọn ènìyàn Juda ti ṣe búburú lójú mi, ni Olúwa wí. Wọ́n ti to àwọn ère ìríra wọn jọ sí ilé tí a fi orúkọ mi pè wọ́n sì ti sọ ọ́ di àìmọ́.
For the children of Juda have wrought evil before me, saith the Lord; they have set their abominations in the house on which my name is called, to defile it.
31 Wọ́n ti kọ́ àwọn ibi gíga ti Tofeti ní àfonífojì Beni-Hinnomu láti sun àwọn ọmọkùnrin àti ọmọbìnrin wọn nínú iná èyí tí èmi kò pàṣẹ tí kò sì wá sí ọkàn mi.
And they have built the altar of Tapheth, which is in the valley of the son of Ennom, to burn their sons and their daughters with fire; which I did not command them [to do], neither did I design it in my heart.
32 Nítorí náà kíyèsára ọjọ́ ń bọ̀, ni Olúwa wí, nígbà tí àwọn ènìyàn kò ní pè é ní Tafeti tàbí àfonífojì ti Beni-Hinnomu; ṣùgbọ́n yóò ma jẹ àfonífojì ìparun, nítorí wọn yóò sin òkú sí Tofeti títí kò fi ní sí ààyè mọ́.
Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when they shall no more say, The altar of Tapheth, and the valley of the son of Ennom, but, The valley of the slain; and they shall bury in Tapheth, for want of room.
33 Nígbà náà ni òkú àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí yóò di oúnjẹ fún àwọn ẹyẹ ojú ọ̀run àti ẹranko ilẹ̀, kò sì ní sí ẹnìkan tí yóò dẹ́rùbà wọ́n.
And the dead bodies of this people shall be for food to the birds of the sky, and to the wild beasts of the earth; and there shall be none to drive [them] away.
34 Èmi yóò mú òpin bá ìró ayọ̀ àti ìdùnnú àti ohùn àwọn tọkọtaya ní àwọn ìlú Juda àti ní ìgboro Jerusalẹmu, nítorí tí ilẹ̀ náà yóò di ahoro.
And I will destroy out of the cities of Juda, and the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of them that make merry, and the voice of them that rejoice, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride; for the whole land shall become a desolation.
