Jeremiah 11

1 The word that came from the Lord to Jeremias, saying:

Èyí ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tí ó tọ Jeremiah wá:

2 Hear ye the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Juda, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem,

“Fetísílẹ̀ sí ọ̀rọ̀ májẹ̀mú yìí, kí o sì sọ wọ́n fún àwọn ènìyàn Juda, àti gbogbo àwọn tó ń gbé ni Jerusalẹmu.

3 And thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: Cursed is the man that shall not hearken to the words of this covenant,

Sọ fún wọn wí pé èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí: ‘Ègbé ni fún ẹni náà tí kò pa ọ̀rọ̀ májẹ̀mú yìí mọ́.

4 Which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying: Hear ye my voice, and do all things that I command you: and you shall be my people, and I will be your God:

Àwọn májẹ̀mú tí mo pàṣẹ fún àwọn baba ńlá yín, nígbà tí mo mú wọn jáde láti Ejibiti, láti inú iná alágbẹ̀dẹ wá.’ Mo wí pé, ‘Ẹ gbọ́ tèmi, kí ẹ sì ṣe ohun gbogbo tí mo pàṣẹ fún un yín. Ẹ̀yin ó sì jẹ́ ènìyàn mi, Èmi ó sì jẹ́ Ọlọ́run yín.

5 That I may accomplish the oath which I swore to your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this day. And I answered and said: Amen, O Lord.

Nígbà náà ni Èmi ó sì mú ìlérí tí mo búra fún àwọn baba ńlá yín ṣẹ; láti fún wọn ní ilẹ̀ tí ó ń sàn fún wàrà àti fún oyin,’ ilẹ̀ tí ẹ ní lónìí.” Mo sì dáhùn wí pé, “Àmín, Olúwa.”

6 And the Lord said to me: Proclaim aloud all these words in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying: Hear ye the words of the covenant, and do them:

Olúwa wí fún mi pé, “Kéde gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ yìí ní àwọn ìlú Juda àti ní gbogbo òpópónà ìgboro Jerusalẹmu pé, ‘Ẹ gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ májẹ̀mú yìí, kí ẹ sì se wọn.

7 For protesting I conjured your fathers in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt even to this day: rising early I conjured them, and said: Hearken ye to my voice:

Láti ìgbà tí mo ti mú àwọn baba yín jáde láti ilẹ̀ Ejibiti wá títí di òní, mo kìlọ̀ fún wọn lọ́pọ̀ ìgbà wí pé, “Ẹ gbọ́ tèmi.”

8 And they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear: but walked every one in the perverseness of his own wicked heart: and I brought upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do, but they did them not.

Ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò gbọ́, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọn kò kọbi ara sí i dípò èyí wọ́n tẹ̀síwájú ni agídí ọkàn wọn. Mo sì mú gbogbo ègún inú májẹ̀mú tí mo ti ṣèlérí, tí mo sì ti pàṣẹ fún wọn láti tẹ̀lé, tí wọn kò tẹ̀lé wa sórí wọn.’”

9 And the Lord said to me: A conspiracy is found among the men of Juda, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

Olúwa sì wí fún mi pé, “Ọ̀tẹ̀ kan wà láàrín àwọn ará Juda àti àwọn tí ń gbé ní Jerusalẹmu.

10 They are returned to the former iniquities of their fathers, who refused to hear my words: so these likewise have gone after strange gods, to serve them: the house of Israel, and the house of Juda have made void my covenant, which I made with their fathers.

Wọ́n ti padà sí ìdí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àwọn baba ńlá wọn tí wọn kọ̀ láti tẹ́tí sí ọ̀rọ̀ mi, wọ́n ti tẹ̀lé àwọn ọlọ́run mìíràn láti sìn wọ́n. Ilé Israẹli àti ilé Juda ti ba májẹ̀mú tí mo dá pẹ̀lú àwọn baba ńlá wọn jẹ́.

11 Wherefore thus saith the Lord: Behold I will bring in evils upon them, which they shall not be able to escape: and they shall cry to me, and I will not hearken to them.

Nítorí náà, èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí: ‘Èmi yóò mu ibi tí wọn kò ní le è yẹ̀ wá sórí wọn, bí wọ́n tilẹ̀ ké pè mí èmi kì yóò fetí sí igbe wọn.

12 And the cities of Juda, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem shall go, and cry to the gods to whom they offer sacrifice, and they shall not save them in the time of their affliction.

Àwọn ìlú Juda àti àwọn ará Jerusalẹmu yóò lọ kégbe sí àwọn òrìṣà tí wọ́n ń sun tùràrí sí; àwọn òrìṣà náà kò ní ràn wọ́n lọ́wọ́ ní ìgbà tí ìpọ́njú náà bá dé.

13 For according to the number of thy cities were thy gods, O Juda: and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem thou hast set up altars of confusion, altars to offer sacrifice to Baalim.

Ìwọ Juda, bí iye àwọn ìlú rẹ, bẹ́ẹ̀ iye àwọn òrìṣà rẹ; bẹ́ẹ̀ ni iye pẹpẹ tí ẹ̀yin ti tẹ́ fún sísun tùràrí Baali ohun ìtìjú n nì ṣe pọ̀ bí iye òpópónà tí ó wà ní Jerusalẹmu.’

14 Therefore, do not thou pray for this people, and do not take up praise and prayer for them: for I will not hear them in the time of their cry to me, in the time of their affliction.

“Má ṣe gbàdúrà fún àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí tàbí kí o bẹ̀bẹ̀ fún wọn, nítorí pé, Èmi kì yóò dẹtí sí wọn nígbà tí wọ́n bá ké pè mí ní ìgbà ìpọ́njú.

15 What is the meaning that my beloved hath wrought muck wickedness in my house? shall the holy flesh take away from thee thy crimes, in which thou hast boasted?

“Kí ni olùfẹ́ mi ní í ṣe ní tẹmpili mi, bí òun àti àwọn mìíràn ṣe ń hu oríṣìíríṣìí ìwà àrékérekè? Ǹjẹ́ ẹran tí a yà sọ́tọ̀ lè mú ìjìyà kúrò lórí rẹ̀? Nígbà tí ó bá ń ṣe iṣẹ́ búburú rẹ̀, nígbà náà jẹ́ kí inú rẹ̀ kí ó dùn.”

16 The Lord called thy name, a plentiful olive tree, fair, fruitful, and beautiful: at the noise of a word, a great fire was kindled in it and the branches thereof are burnt.

Olúwa pè ọ́ ní igi olifi pẹ̀lú èso rẹ tí ó dára ní ojú. Ṣùgbọ́n pẹ̀lú ìrọ́kẹ̀kẹ̀ ìjì líle ọ̀wọ́-iná ni yóò sun ún tí àwọn ẹ̀ka rẹ̀ yóò sì di gígé kúrò.

17 And the Lord of hosts that planted thee, hath pronounced evil against thee: for the evils of the house of Israel, and the house of Juda, which they have done to themselves, to provoke me, offering sacrifice to Baalim.

Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun tí ó dá ọ ti kéde ibi sí ọ, nítorí ilé Israẹli àti Juda ti ṣe ohun ibi, wọ́n sì ti mú inú bí mi, wọ́n ti ru ìbínú mi sókè nípa sísun tùràrí si Baali.

18 But thou, O Lord, hast shewn me, and I have known: then thou shewedst me their doings.

Nítorí Olúwa fi ọ̀tẹ̀ wọn hàn mí mo mọ̀ ọ́n; nítorí ní àsìkò náà ó fi ohun tí wọ́n ń ṣe hàn mí.

19 And I was as a meek lamb, that is carried to be a victim: and I knew not that they had devised counsels against me, saying: Let us put wood on his bread, and cut him off from the land of the living, and let his name be remembered no more.

Mo ti dàbí ọ̀dọ́-àgùntàn jẹ́ẹ́jẹ́ tí a mú lọ fún pípa; n kò mọ̀ pé wọ́n ti gbìmọ̀ búburú sí mi wí pé: “Jẹ́ kí a run igi àti èso rẹ̀; jẹ́ kí a gé e kúrò ní orí ilẹ̀ alààyè, kí a má lè rántí orúkọ rẹ̀ mọ́.”

20 But thou, O Lord of Sabaoth, who judgest justly, and triest the reins and hearts, let me see thy revenge on them: for to thee I have revealed my cause.

Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun, tí ó ń ṣe ìdájọ́ òdodo, tí ó ń ṣe àyẹ̀wò ẹ̀mí àti ọkàn, jẹ́ kí n rí ẹ̀san rẹ lórí wọn; nítorí ìwọ ni mo fi ọ̀rọ̀ mi lé lọ́wọ́.

21 Therefore thus saith the Lord to the men of Anathoth, who seek thy life, and say: Thou shalt not prophesy in the name of the Lord, and thou shalt not die in our hands.

“Nítorí náà, èyí ni ohun tí Ọlọ́run sọ nípa àwọn arákùnrin Anatoti tí wọ́n ń lépa ẹ̀mí rẹ̀, tí wọ́n ń wí pé, ‘Má ṣe sọ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ ní orúkọ Olúwa, bí bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́ ìwọ ó kú láti ọwọ́ wa.’

22 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts: Behold I will visit upon them: and their young men shall die by the sword, their sons and their daughters shall die by famine.

Nítorí náà, èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun sọ pé, ‘Èmi yóò fì ìyà jẹ wọ́n, àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin wọn yóò tipasẹ̀ idà kú, ìyàn yóò pa àwọn ọmọkùnrin àti ọmọbìnrin wọn.

23 And there shall be no remains of them: for I will bring in evil upon the men of Anathoth, the year of their visitation.

Kò ní ṣẹ́kù ohunkóhun sílẹ̀ fún wọn nítorí èmi yóò mú ibi wá sórí àwọn ènìyàn Anatoti ní ọdún ìbẹ̀wò wọn.’”
