< Jeremiah 48 >

1 Against Moab, thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Woe upon Nebo! For it has been devastated and confounded. Kiriathaim has been seized; the strong one has been confounded and has trembled.
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.
2 There is no longer any rejoicing in Moab over Heshbon. They have devised evil. ‘Come and let us destroy it as a nation.’ Then you will be utterly silenced, and the sword will pursue you.
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.
3 A voice of clamor from Horonaim: devastation and great destruction!
Gbọ́ igbe ní Horonaimu, igbe ìrora àti ìparun ńlá.
4 Moab has been crushed. Announce an outcry for her little ones.
Moabu yóò di wíwó palẹ̀; àwọn ọmọdé rẹ̀ yóò kígbe síta.
5 For, along the ascent of Luhith, the mourner will ascend with weeping. For, on the descent of Horonaim, the enemies have heard the wailing of devastation.
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.
6 Flee, save your lives! And you shall be like a saltcedar tree in the desert.
Sá! Àsálà fún ẹ̀mí yín; kí ẹ sì dàbí aláìní ní aginjù.
7 For because you have had faith in your fortifications and in your storehouses, you too will be seized. And Chemosh will go into captivity: his priests and his leaders together.
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.
8 And the despoiler will overwhelm every city, and not a single city will be saved. And the valleys will perish, and the fields will be destroyed. For the Lord has spoken.
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.
9 Give a blossom to Moab. For it will depart when it is blossoming. And its cities will become desolate and uninhabited.
Fi iyọ̀ sí Moabu, nítorí yóò ṣègbé, àwọn ìlú rẹ yóò sì di ahoro láìsí ẹni tí yóò gbé inú rẹ̀.
10 Cursed is he who does the work of the Lord deceitfully. And cursed is he who prohibits his sword from blood.
“Ìfibú ni fún ẹni tí ó fi ìmẹ́lẹ́ ṣe iṣẹ́ Olúwa, ìfibú ni fún ẹni tí ó pa idà mọ́ fún ìtàjẹ̀ sílẹ̀.
11 Moab has been fertile from his youth, and he has rested amid his brood. And he has not been transferred from vessel to vessel, nor has he gone into the transmigration. Therefore, his taste has remained with him, and his scent has not changed.
“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.
12 Because of this, behold, the days are approaching, says the Lord, when I will send to him those who will line up and knock down his bottles, and they will knock him down and empty his vessels, and they will break their bottles against one another.
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.
13 And Moab will be confounded by Chemosh, just as the house of Israel was shamed by Bethel, in which they had faith.
Nígbà náà Moabu yóò sì tú u nítorí Kemoṣi, bí ojú ti í ti ilé Israẹli nígbà tí ó gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Beteli.
14 How can you say: ‘We are strong and robust men of battle?’
“Báwo ni o ṣe lè sọ pé, ‘Ajagun ni wá, alágbára ní ogun jíjà’?
15 Moab has been devastated, and they have cut down her cities. And her elect young men have descended to slaughter. So says the King, whose name is the Lord of hosts.
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.
16 The passing away of Moab draws near and arrives. Its evil will rush forward with great speed.
“Ìṣubú Moabu súnmọ́; ìpọ́njú yóò dé kánkán.
17 Console him, all you who surround him and all you who know his name. Say: ‘How has the strong staff become broken, the glorious staff?’
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!’
18 Descend from your glory, and sit in thirst, O habitation of the daughter of Dibon! For the destroyer of Moab has ascended to you; he has dissipated your fortifications.
“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.
19 Stand in the way, and gaze out, O habitation of Aroer! Question him who is fleeing, and say to him who has escaped: ‘What has happened?’
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?’
20 Moab has been confounded, because he has been conquered. Wail and cry out! Announce it in Arnon: Moab has been devastated,
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.
21 and judgment has arrived upon the land of the plains: upon Holon, and upon Jahzah, and upon Mephaath,
Ìdájọ́ ti dé sí àwọn òkè pẹrẹsẹ, sórí Holoni, Jahisa àti Mefaati,
22 and upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon the house of Deblathaim,
sórí Diboni, Nebo àti Beti-Diblataimu,
23 and upon Kiriathaim, and upon the house of Gamul, and upon the house of Meon,
sórí Kiriataimu, Beti-Gamu àti Beti-Meoni,
24 and upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, those far away and those nearby.
sórí Kerioti àti Bosra, sórí gbogbo ìlú Moabu, nítòsí àti ní ọ̀nà jíjìn.
25 The horn of Moab has been cut away, and his arm has been crushed, says the Lord.
A gé ìwo Moabu kúrò, apá rẹ̀ dá,” ni Olúwa wí.
26 Inebriate him, for he has lifted himself up against the Lord. And Moab will thrust his hand into his own vomit, and also now he himself will become a derision.
“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.
27 For Israel had been a derision to them. It was as if you had discovered him among thieves. Because of your own words, then, which you have spoken against him, you will be led away captive.
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?
28 Relinquish the cities, and live upon a rock, O inhabitants of Moab, and be like a dove nesting at the mouth of an opening at the summit.
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.
29 We have listened to the arrogance of Moab; he is very proud: his exaltation, and arrogance, and pride, and the loftiness of his heart.
“A ti gbọ́ nípa ìgbéraga Moabu: àti ìwà mo gbọ́n tan rẹ̀ àti ìgbéraga ọkàn rẹ̀.
30 I myself know, says the Lord, his boasting, and that his ability is not in accord with it, nor is it in accord with what he has been striving to do.
Mo mọ àfojúdi rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n òfo ni,” ni Olúwa wí, “ìfọ́nnu rẹ̀ kò lè ṣe nǹkan kan.
31 For this reason, I will wail over Moab, and I will cry out to all of Moab, to the men on the brick wall who are lamenting.
Nítorí náà, mo pohùnréré ẹkún lórí Moabu fún àwọn ará Moabu ni mo kígbe lóhùn rara, mo kẹ́dùn fún àwọn ọkùnrin Kiri-Hareseti.
32 O vineyard of Sibmah, I will weep for you, with the mourning of Jazer. Your offshoots have crossed over the sea. They have reached even to the sea of Jazer. The despoiler has rushed over your harvest and your vintage.
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.
33 Rejoicing and exultation has been taken away from Carmel and from the land of Moab. And I have taken the wine from the winepresses. The treader of grapes will no longer sing the usual rhythmic chant.
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.
34 From the outcry of Heshbon, even to Elealeh and Jahzah, they have uttered their voice; from Zoar, even to Horonaim, like a three year old calf. So too, the waters of Nimrim will be very bad.
“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.
35 And I will take away from Moab, says the Lord, the one who makes offerings in exalted places, and the one who sacrifices to his gods.
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.
36 Because of this, my heart will resound for Moab, like the pipes, and my heart will make a sound like the pipes for the men on the brick wall. For he has done more than he was able, yet still they have perished.
“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.
37 For every head will be bald, and every beard will be shaved. All the hands will be bound together, and there will be haircloth on every back.
Gbogbo orí ni yóò pá, gbogbo irùngbọ̀n ni a ó gé kúrò, gbogbo ọwọ́ ni a sá lọ́gbẹ́, àti aṣọ ọ̀fọ̀ ní gbogbo ẹ̀gbẹ́.
38 Over all the rooftops of Moab, and in its streets, everyone will mourn. For I have crushed Moab like a useless vessel, says the Lord.
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.
39 How was it conquered, so that they would wail? How is it that Moab has cast down his neck and been confounded? And Moab will be a derision and an example to everyone around him.”
“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.”
40 Thus says the Lord: “Behold, he will fly like the eagle, and he will extend his wings to Moab.
Báyìí ni Olúwa wí: “Wò ó ẹyẹ idì náà ń fò bọ̀ nílẹ̀ ó sì na ìyẹ́ rẹ̀ lórí Moabu.
41 Kerioth has been captured, and the fortifications have been taken. And in that day, the heart of the strong ones of Moab will be like the heart of a woman giving birth.
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.
42 And Moab will cease to be a people. For he has been glorified against the Lord.
A ó pa Moabu run gẹ́gẹ́ bí orílẹ̀-èdè nítorí pé ó gbéraga sí Olúwa.
43 Terror and the pit and the snare will overwhelm you, O inhabitant of Moab, says the Lord.
Ẹ̀rù àti ọ̀fìn àti okùn dídè ń dúró dè yín, ẹ̀yin ènìyàn Moabu,” ní Olúwa wí.
44 Whoever flees from the terror will fall into the pit. And whoever climbs out of the pit will be seized by the snare. For I will lead over Moab the year of their visitation, says the Lord.
“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.
45 Those fleeing from the snare stood in the shadow of Heshbon. For a fire has gone forth from Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sihon, and it will devour the portion of Moab, and the top of the head of the sons of tumult.
“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.
46 Woe to you, O Moab! You have been ruined, O people of Chemosh! For your sons and your daughters have been taken into captivity.
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.
47 But I will convert the captivity of Moab in the last days, says the Lord.” Such are the judgments of Moab thus far.
“Síbẹ̀, èmi yóò dá ìkólọ Moabu padà ní ọjọ́ ìkẹyìn,” ni Olúwa wí. Eléyìí ní ìdájọ́ ìkẹyìn lórí Moabu.
