Judges 2
1 Ní ọjọ́ kan angẹli Olúwa dìde kúrò láti Gilgali lọ sí Bokimu ó sì wí pé, “Èmi mú un yín gòkè láti ilẹ̀ Ejibiti wá, èmi sì síwájú yín wá sí ilẹ̀ tí mo ti búra láti fi fún àwọn baba ńlá yín. Èmi sì wí pé, ‘Èmi kì yóò yẹ májẹ̀mú mi pẹ̀lú yín,
The angel of Jehovah came up from Gilgal to Bochim. He said, "I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you to the land which I swore to your fathers; and I said, 'I will never break my covenant with you:
2 ẹ̀yin kò gbọdọ̀ bá àwọn ènìyàn ilẹ̀ yí dá májẹ̀mú àlàáfíà, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin yóò wó pẹpẹ ibi ìsin òrìṣà wọn lulẹ̀.’ Síbẹ̀ ẹ̀yin ṣe àìgbọ́ràn sí mi. Èéṣe tí ẹ̀yin fi ṣe èyí?
and you shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; you shall break down their altars.' But you have not listened to my voice: why have you done this?
3 Ní báyìí, èmi wí fún un yín pé, èmi kì yóò lé àwọn ènìyàn jáde kúrò níwájú yín; ṣùgbọ́n wọn yóò jẹ́ ẹ̀gún ní ìhà yín, àwọn òrìṣà wọn yóò sì jẹ́ ìdánwò fún un yín.”
Therefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you, but they will become your adversaries, and their gods shall be a snare to you."
4 Bí angẹli Olúwa sì ti sọ gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí fún àwọn ará Israẹli tan, àwọn ènìyàn náà sì gbé ohùn wọn sókè wọ́n sì sọkún kíkorò,
It happened, when the angel of Jehovah spoke these words to all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
5 wọ́n sì pe orúkọ ibẹ̀ ní Bokimu (ibi tí àwọn ènìyàn ti sọkún). Wọ́n sì rú ẹbọ sí Olúwa níbẹ̀.
They called the name of that place Bochim: and they sacrificed there to Jehovah.
6 Lẹ́yìn tí Joṣua ti tú àwọn ènìyàn Israẹli ká, àwọn ẹ̀yà Israẹli kọ̀ọ̀kan lọ sí ilẹ̀ tí a fi fún wọn láti lọ gbà á ní ìní wọn.
Now when Joshua had sent the people away, the children of Israel went every man to his inheritance to possess the land.
7 Àwọn ènìyàn náà sin Olúwa ní gbogbo ìgbà ayé Joṣua àti ní gbogbo ọjọ́ àwọn àgbàgbà tí ó wà lẹ́yìn ikú rẹ̀ tí wọ́n sì rí gbogbo iṣẹ́ ńlá tí Olúwa ṣe fún Israẹli.
The people served Jehovah all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great work of Jehovah that he had worked for Israel.
8 Joṣua ọmọ Nuni, ìránṣẹ́ Olúwa, kú ní ẹni àádọ́fà ọdún.
Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Jehovah, died, being one hundred ten years old.
9 Wọ́n sì sìnkú rẹ̀ sí ààlà ilẹ̀ ìní rẹ̀ ní Timnati-Hereki ní ilẹ̀ òkè Efraimu ní àríwá òkè Gaaṣi.
They buried him in the territory of his inheritance in Timnath Serah, in the hill country of Ephraim, on the north of the mountain of Gaash.
10 Ní ìgbẹ̀yìn, gbogbo ìran náà sì kú; àwọn ìran tí ó tẹ̀lé wọn kò sì sin Olúwa nítorí wọn kò mọ Olúwa, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọn kò mọ ohun tí Olúwa ṣe fún Israẹli.
And all that generation were also gathered to their fathers. And there arose another generation after them who did not know Jehovah, nor the works which he had done for Israel.
11 Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sì ṣe ohun tí ó burú níwájú Olúwa, wọ́n sì ń sin òrìṣà Baali.
The children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and served the Baals;
12 Wọ́n kọ Olúwa Ọlọ́run àwọn baba wọn sílẹ̀, ẹni tí ó mú wọn jáde kúrò ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti, wọ́n ń tọ àwọn òrìṣà lẹ́yìn, wọ́n sì ń sin àwọn oríṣìíríṣìí òrìṣà àwọn ará ilẹ̀ ibi tí wọ́n ń gbé, wọ́n sì mú Olúwa bínú,
and they forsook Jehovah, the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the peoples who were around them, and bowed themselves down to them: and they provoked Jehovah to anger.
13 nítorí tí wọ́n kọ̀ Olúwa sílẹ̀ àti nítorí pé wọ́n ń sin Baali àti Aṣtoreti.
They forsook Jehovah, and served Baal and the Ashtaroth.
14 Nínú ìbínú rẹ̀ sí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli Olúwa fi wọ́n lé àwọn akónisìn lọ́wọ́ tí ó kó wọn ní ẹrú, tí ó sì bà wọ́n jẹ́. Ó sì tà wọ́n fún àwọn ọ̀tá wọn tí ó yí wọn ká àwọn ẹni tí wọn kò le dúró dè láti kọ ojú ìjà sí.
The anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of marauders who plundered them; and he sold them into the hands of their enemies all around, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies.
15 Nígbàkígbà tí àwọn Israẹli bá jáde lọ sí ojú ogun láti jà, ọwọ́ Olúwa sì wúwo ní ara wọn, àwọn ọ̀tá a sì borí wọn, àní gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti búra fún wọn. Wọ́n sì wà nínú ìpọ́njú púpọ̀.
Wherever they went out, the hand of Jehovah was against them for harm, as Jehovah had spoken, and as Jehovah had sworn to them: and they were in great distress.
16 Olúwa sì gbé àwọn onídàájọ́ dìde tí ó gbà wọ́n sílẹ̀ lọ́wọ́ àwọn tí ń kó wọn lẹ́rú.
Jehovah raised up judges, who saved them out of the hand of those who plundered them.
17 Síbẹ̀síbẹ̀ wọn kò fi etí sí ti àwọn onídàájọ́ wọn, ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n ṣe àgbèrè, wọ́n ń sin òrìṣà. Wọn kò dàbí àwọn baba wọn, kíákíá ni wọ́n yípadà kúrò lọ́nà tí àwọn baba wọ́n ń tọ̀, ọ̀nà ìgbọ́ràn sí àwọn òfin Olúwa.
Yet they did not listen to their judges; for they played the prostitute after other gods, and bowed themselves down to them: they turned aside quickly out of the way in which their fathers walked, obeying the commandments of Jehovah; but they did not do so.
18 Nígbà kí ìgbà tí Olúwa bá gbé onídàájọ́ dìde fún wọn, Olúwa máa ń wà pẹ̀lú onídàájọ́ náà, a sì gbà wọ́n kúrò ní ọwọ́ àwọn ọ̀tá wọn ní ìwọ̀n ìgbà tí onídàájọ́ náà bá wà láààyè nítorí àánú Olúwa wà ní ara wọn, nígbà tí wọ́n bá ké ìrora lábẹ́ àwọn tí ń tẹrí wọn ba, tí sì ń fi ìyà jẹ wọ́n.
When Jehovah raised up judges for them, then Jehovah was with the judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge: for it grieved Jehovah because of their groaning by reason of those who oppressed them and troubled them.
19 Ṣùgbọ́n ní kété tí onídàájọ́ bá ti kú, àwọn ènìyàn náà a sì tún padà sí ọ̀nà ìbàjẹ́ àní ju ti àwọn baba wọn lọ, wọn a tẹ̀lé òrìṣà, wọ́n ń sìn wọ́n, wọn a sì foríbalẹ̀ fún wọn, wọ́n kọ̀ láti yàgò kúrò ní ọ̀nà ibi wọn àti agídí ọkàn wọn.
But it happened, when the judge was dead, that they turned back, and dealt more corruptly than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down to them; they did not cease from their practices, and they did not turn aside from their stubborn ways.
20 Ìbínú Olúwa yóò sì tún ru sí Israẹli a sì wí pé, “Nítorí tí orílẹ̀-èdè yìí ti yẹ májẹ̀mú tí mo fi lélẹ̀ fún àwọn baba ńlá wọn, tí wọn kò sì fetí sí mi,
The anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel; and he said, "Because this nation has transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not obeyed my voice;
21 Èmi kì yóò lé ọ̀kankan nínú àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí Joṣua fi sílẹ̀ nígbà tí ó kú jáde.
I will no longer drive out before them any of the nations that Joshua left when he died;
22 Ṣùgbọ́n dípò bẹ́ẹ̀ èmi yóò lo àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè yìí láti fi dán Israẹli wò, láti mọ̀ bóyá wọ́n yóò pa ọ̀nà Olúwa mọ́ àti pé bóyá wọn ó rìn nínú rẹ̀ bí àwọn baba ńlá wọn ti rìn.”
that by them I may test Israel, whether they will keep the way of Jehovah to walk in it, as their fathers kept it, or not."
23 Nítorí náà Olúwa fi àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè náà sílẹ̀ ní ilẹ̀ náà kò sì lé wọn jáde, tàbí kí ó jẹ́ kí àwọn Israẹli pa wọ́n run, bẹ́ẹ̀ kò sì fi wọ́n lé Joṣua lọ́wọ́.
So Jehovah left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua.
