Jeremiah 27

1 In the beginning of the reign of Joakim the son of Josias king of Juda, this word came to Jeremias from the Lord, saying:

Ní ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ pẹ̀pẹ̀ ìṣèjọba Sedekiah ọmọ Josiah ọba Juda, ọ̀rọ̀ yìí tọ Jeremiah wá láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa wí pé.

2 Thus saith the Lord to me: Make thee bands, and chains: and thou shalt put them on thy neck.

Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí, “Ṣe àjàgà àti ọ̀pá irin fún ara rẹ, kí o sì fiwé ọrùn rẹ.

3 And thou shalt send them to the of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the children of Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon: by the hand of the messengers that are come to Jerusalem to Sedecias the king of Juda.

Kí o rán ọ̀rọ̀ sí ọba ti Edomu, Moabu, Ammoni, Tire àti Sidoni láti ọwọ́ àwọn ikọ̀ tí ó wá sí Jerusalẹmu sọ́dọ̀ Sedekiah ọba Juda.

4 And thou shalt command them to speak to their masters: Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Thus shall you say to your masters:

Kí o sì pàṣẹ fún wọn láti wí fún àwọn olúwa wọn pé, ‘Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun, Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí: “Sọ èyí fún àwọn olúwa rẹ.

5 I made the earth, and the men, and the beasts that are upon the face of the earth, by my great power, and by my stretched out arm: and I have given it to whom it seemed good in my eyes.

Pẹ̀lú agbára ńlá mi àti ọwọ́ nínà mi ni Èmi dá ayé, ènìyàn àti ẹranko tí ó wà lórí ilẹ̀ ayé, mo sì fún ẹni tí ó wu ọkàn mi.

6 And now I have given all these lands into the hand of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon my servant: moreover also the beasts of the field I have given him to serve him.

Nísinsin yìí, Èmi yóò fa gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè rẹ fún Nebukadnessari ọba Babeli ìránṣẹ́ mi; Èmi yóò sì mú àwọn ẹranko búburú wọ̀n-ọn-nì jẹ́ tirẹ̀.

7 And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son’s son: till the time come for his land and himself: and many nations and great kings shall serve him.

Gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè ni yóò máa sìn ín àti àwọn ọmọdọ́mọ rẹ̀ títí ilẹ̀ rẹ yóò fi dé; ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ orílẹ̀-èdè àti àwọn ọba ńlá ni yóò tẹríba fún.

8 But the nation and kingdom that will not serve Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and whosoever will not bend his neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon: I will visit upon that nation with the sword, and with famine, and with pestilence, saith the Lord: till I consume them by his hand.

“‘“Ṣùgbọ́n tí orílẹ̀-èdè tàbí ìjọba kan kò bá ní sin Nebukadnessari ọba Babeli, tàbí kí ó tẹ orí rẹ̀ ba ní abẹ́ àjàgà rẹ̀, Èmi yóò fi ìyà jẹ orílẹ̀-èdè náà nípa idà, ìyàn àti àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn, ni Olúwa wí títí Èmi yóò fi run wọ́n nípa ọwọ́ rẹ̀.

9 Therefore hearken not to your prophets, and diviners, and dreamers, and soothsayers, and sorcerers, that say to you: You shall not serve the king Babylon.

Nítorí náà, ẹ má ṣe tẹ́tí sílẹ̀ sí àwọn wòlíì yín, àwọn aláfọ̀ṣẹ yín, àwọn tí ń rọ́ àlá fún un yín, àwọn oṣó yín, tàbí àwọn àjẹ́ yín tí wọ́n ń sọ fún un yín pé, ‘Ẹ̀yin kò ní sin ọba Babeli.’

10 For they prophesy lies to you: to remove you far from your country, and east you out, and to make you perish.

Wọ́n ń sọ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ irọ́ fún un yín èyí tí yóò mú u yín jìnnà réré kúrò ní ilẹ̀ yín; kí Èmi kí ó lè lé yín jáde, kí ẹ̀yin ó sì ṣègbé.

11 But the nation that shall bend down their neck under the yoke of the king Babylon, and shall serve him: Will let them remain in their own land, saith the Lord: and they shall till it, and dwell in it.

Ṣùgbọ́n bí orílẹ̀-èdè kankan bá tẹ orí rẹ̀ ba lábẹ́ àjàgà ọba Babeli, tí ó sì sìn ín, Èmi yóò jẹ́ kí orílẹ̀-èdè náà wà lórí ilẹ̀ rẹ̀ láti máa ro ó, àti láti máa gbé ibẹ̀ ni Olúwa wí.”’”

12 And I spoke to Sedecias the king of Juda according to all these words, saying: Bend down your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, and his people, and you shall live.

Èmi sì sọ ọ̀rọ̀ náà fún Sedekiah ọba Juda wí pé: “Tẹ orí rẹ ba lábẹ́ àjàgà ọba Babeli, sìn ín ìwọ àti àwọn ènìyàn rẹ, ìwọ yóò sì yè.

13 Why will you die, thou and thy people by the sword, and by famine, and by the pestilence, as the Lord hath spoken against the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?

Kí ló dé tí ìwọ àti àwọn ènìyàn rẹ yóò ṣe kú nípa idà, ìyàn àti àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn, èyí tí Olúwa fi ń halẹ̀ mọ́ àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí kò bá sin ọba Babeli?

14 Hearken not to the words of the prophets that say to you: You shall not serve the king of Babylon: for they tell you a lie.

Ẹ má ṣe fetísílẹ̀ sí ọ̀rọ̀ àwọn wòlíì tí ó ń sọ wí pé, ‘Ẹ̀yin kò ní sin ọba Babeli,’ nítorí pé àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ èké ni wọ́n ń sọ fún un yín.

15 For I have not sent them, saith the Lord: and they prophesy in my name falsely: to drive you out, and that you may perish, both you, and the prophets that prophesy to you.

‘Èmi kò rán wọn ni Olúwa wí. Wọ́n ń sọ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ èké ní orúkọ mi. Nítorí náà, Èmi yóò lé wọn, wọn yóò sì ṣègbé, ẹ̀yin pẹ̀lú àwọn wòlíì tí ó ń sọ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ fún un yín.’”

16 I spoke also to the priests, and to this people, saying: Thus saith the Lord: Hearken not to the words of your prophets, that prophesy to you, saying: Behold the vessels of the Lord shall now in a short time be brought again from Babylon: for they prophesy a lie unto you.

Nígbà náà ni mo sọ fún àwọn àlùfáà àti gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn náà wí pé, “Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa sọ, ẹ má ṣe fetí sí nǹkan tí àwọn wòlíì ń sọ pé, ‘Láìpẹ́ ohun èlò ilé Olúwa ni a ó kó padà láti Babeli,’ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ èké ni wọ́n ń sọ. Ẹ má tẹ́tí sí wọn.

17 Therefore hearken not to them, but serve the king of Babylon, that you may live. Why should this city be given up to desolation?

Má ṣe tẹ́tí sí wọn, ẹ máa sin ọba Babeli, ẹ̀yin yóò sì yè. Èéṣe tí ìlú yóò fi di ahoro?

18 But if they be prophets, and the word of the Lord be in them: let them interpose themselves before the Lord of hosts, that the vessels which were left in the house of the Lord, and in the house of the king of Juda, and in Jerusalem, may not go to Babylon.

Tí wọ́n bá jẹ́ wòlíì, tí wọ́n sì ní ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa, jẹ́ kí wọ́n bẹ Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun kí a má ṣe kó ohun èlò tí ó kù ní ilé Olúwa àti ní ààfin ọba Juda àti Jerusalẹmu lọ sí Babeli.

19 For thus saith the Lord of hosts to the pillars, and to the sea, and to the bases, and to the rest of the vessels that remain in this city:

Nítorí pé, èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun sọ nípa àwọn opó, omi Òkun ní ti ìpilẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àti ní ti ohun èlò ìyókù tí ó kù ní ìlú náà.

20 Which Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon did not take, when he carried away Jechonias the son of Joakim the king of Juda, from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the great men of Juda and Jerusalem.

Èyí tí Nebukadnessari ọba Babeli kò kó lọ nígbà tí ó mú Jekoniah ọmọ Jehoiakimu ọba Juda lọ sí ìgbèkùn láti Jerusalẹmu lọ sí Babeli, pẹ̀lú àwọn ọlọ́lá Juda àti Jerusalẹmu.

21 For thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel, to the vessels that are left in the house of the Lord, and in the house of the king of Juda and Jerusalem:

Lóòótọ́, èyí ni ọ̀rọ̀ tí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí nípa àwọn ohun ìṣúra tí ó ṣẹ́kù ní ilé Olúwa àti ní ààfin ọba Juda àti ní Jerusalẹmu:

22 They shall be carried to Babylon, and there they shall be until the day of their visitation, saith the Lord: and I will cause them to be brought, and to be restored in this place.

‘A ó mú wọn lọ sí ilẹ̀ Babeli, ní ibẹ̀ ni wọn ó sì wà títí di ìgbà tí mo bá padà,’ èyí ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa. ‘Lẹ́yìn èyí, Èmi yóò mú wọn padà, Èmi yóò sì ṣe wọ́n lọ́jọ̀ ní ibí yìí.’”
