Jeremiah 42
1 Then drew near all the captains of the forces, and Johanan son of Kareah and Jezaniah son of Hoshaiah, —and all the people from the least even unto the greatest;
Nígbà náà ní gbogbo àwọn olórí ogun àti Johanani ọmọkùnrin Karea àti Jesaniah ọmọkùnrin Hoṣaiah àti kékeré títí dé orí ẹni ńlá wá.
2 and said unto Jeremiah the prophet—Let our supplication we beseech thee fall prostrate before thee, and pray thou in our behalf unto Yahweh thy God, in behalf of all this remnant, —for we are left a few out of many, just as thine own eyes do behold us:
Sí ọ̀dọ̀ Jeremiah wòlíì náà, wọ́n sì sọ fún un pé, “Jọ̀wọ́ gbọ́ ẹ̀bẹ̀ wa, kí o sì gbàdúrà sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ fún gbogbo ìyókù yìí. Nítorí gẹ́gẹ́ bi ìwọ ṣe rí i nísinsin yìí pé a pọ̀ níye nígbà kan rí; ṣùgbọ́n báyìí àwa díẹ̀ la ṣẹ́kù.
3 that Yahweh thy God may tell us the way wherein we should walk, —and the thing that we should do.
Gbàdúrà pé kí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ sọ ibi tí àwa yóò lọ fún wa àti ohun tí àwa yóò ṣe.”
4 And Jeremiah the prophet, said unto them, I have heard; behold me! praying unto Yahweh your God according to your words, —and it shall come to pass that the whole thing that Yahweh shall answer you, I will tell you, I will keep back from you, nothing.
Wòlíì Jeremiah sì dáhùn wí pé, “Mo ti gbọ́. Èmi yóò gbàdúrà sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹ̀yin ṣe béèrè. Èmi yóò sọ gbogbo ohun tí Olúwa bá sọ fún un yín, ń kò sì ní fi ohunkóhun pamọ́ fún un yín.”
5 They, therefore said unto Jeremiah, Yahweh be against us, as a witness true and faithful, —if according to all the word which Yahweh thy God shall send thee unto us, so we do not perform:
Nígbà náà ni wọ́n sọ fún Jeremiah wí pé, “Kí Olúwa ṣe ẹlẹ́rìí òtítọ́ àti òdodo láàrín wa, bí àwa kò bá ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí gbogbo ohun tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ bá rán ọ láti sọ fún wa.
6 whether for good or for ill, unto the voice of Yahweh our God for which we are sending thee unto him, will we hearken, —to the end it may be well with us, because we will hearken unto the voice of Yahweh our God.
Ìbá à ṣe rere, ìbá à ṣe búburú, àwa yóò gbọ́rọ̀ sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa, èyí tí àwa ń rán ọ sí, kí ó ba à lè dára fún wa. Nítorí pé àwa yóò gbọ́rọ̀ sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa.”
7 And it came to pass at the end of ten days, that the word of Yahweh came unto Jeremiah.
Lẹ́yìn ọjọ́ mẹ́wàá, ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ Jeremiah wá,
8 Then called he for Johanan son of Kareah, and for all the princes of the forces who were with him—and for all the people from the least even unto the greatest;
O sì pe Johanani ọmọkùnrin Karea àti gbogbo àwọn olórí ogun tí wọ́n wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀; àti gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn láti orí ẹni tí ó kéré dé orí ẹni ńlá.
9 and said unto them, Thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel—unto whom ye sent me, to cause your supplication to fall prostrate before him: —
Ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run àwọn Israẹli wí: ‘Èyí ni ẹni tí ẹ̀yin ti rán láti gbé ẹ̀bẹ̀ yín lọ síwájú mi.
10 If ye will indeed abide, in this land, then will I build you up, and not pull [you] down, and plant you and not uproot [you], —for I have compassion as touching the calamity which I have caused you.
Bí ẹ̀yin bá gbé ní ilẹ̀ yìí, èmi yóò gbé e yín ró, n kò sí ní fà yín lulẹ̀, èmi yóò gbìn yín, n kì yóò fà yín tu nítorí wí pé èmi yí ọkàn padà ní ti ibi tí mo ti ṣe sí i yín.
11 Do not fear the face of the king of Babylon, of whose face ye are afraid, —do not fear him, Urgeth Yahweh, for with you, am I, to save you, and to deliver you out of his hand:
Ẹ má ṣe bẹ̀rù ọba Babeli tí ẹ̀yin ń bẹ̀rù, báyìí ẹ má ṣe bẹ̀rù rẹ̀ ni Olúwa wí; nítorí tí èmi wà pẹ̀lú yín láti pa yín mọ́ àti láti gbà yín ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀.
12 that I may grant you compassions and he may have compassion upon you, —and suffer you to return unto your own soil.
Èmi yóò fi àánú hàn sí i yín, kí ó lè ṣàánú fún un yín, kí ó sì mú un yín padà sí ilẹ̀ yín.’
13 But, since ye are saying, —We will not dwell in this land, —nor hearken unto the voice of Yahweh your God:
“Ṣùgbọ́n sá, bí ẹ̀yin bá wí pé, ‘Àwa kò ní gbé ilẹ̀ yìí,’ ẹ̀yin ti ṣe àìgbọ́ràn sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín.
14 saying, —No! for, into the land of Egypt, will we go, where we shall not see war, nor the sound of a horn, shall we hear, —nor for bread, shall we be famished, —there, then will we dwell
Àti pé bí ẹ̀yin bá wí pé, ‘Bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́, àwa yóò lọ gbé ní Ejibiti; níbi tí àwa kì yóò rí ìró ogunkógun, tí a kì yóò sì gbọ́ ìró fèrè, tí ebi oúnjẹ kì yóò sì pa wá, níbẹ̀ ni àwa ó sì máa gbé,’
15 Now, therefore, for this cause, hear ye the word of Yahweh, O remnant of Judah, —Thus! saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, —If, ye do indeed set your faces to enter Egypt and do enter to sojourn there,
nítorí náà, ẹ gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa ẹ̀yin ìyókù Juda èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run àwọn ọmọ-ogun Israẹli wí: ‘Bí ẹ̀yin bá pinnu láti lọ sí Ejibiti láti lọ ṣe àtìpó níbẹ̀.
16 then shall it come to pass that the sword which ye are fearing shall, there, overtake you, in the land of Egypt, —and the famine which ye are dreading, shall, there, lay fast hold of you, in Egypt, and, there, shall ye die.
Yóò sì ṣe, idà tí ẹ̀yin bẹ̀rù yóò sì lé e yín bá níbẹ̀; àti ìyanu náà tí ẹ̀yin ń bẹ̀rù yóò sì tẹ̀lé yín lọ sí Ejibiti àti pé ibẹ̀ ni ẹ̀yin yóò kú sí.
17 So shall it be with all the men who have set their faces to enter Egypt to sojourn there, they shall die by sword, by famine or by pestilence, —and they shall have neither survival nor escape, from the face of the calamity which I am about to bring in upon them.
Nítorí náà, gbogbo àwọn tí ó ti pinnu láti ṣe àtìpó ní Ejibiti ni yóò ti ipa idà kú, ìyàn àti àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn kò sì ní jẹ́ kí ẹnikẹ́ni nínú wọn yè tàbí sá àsálà nínú ibi tí èmi yóò mú wá sórí wọn.’
18 For—Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, —Just as mine anger and mine indignation have been poured out upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so shall mine indignation be poured out upon you when ye enter into Egypt, —thus shall ye become a curse, and an astonishment and a contempt and a reproach, and ye shall no more see this place.
Báyìí ni ohun tí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí: ‘Gẹ́gẹ́ bí èmi ti da ìbínú àti ìrunú síta sórí àwọn tí ó ń gbé ní Jerusalẹmu, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìrunú mi yóò dà síta sórí yín, nígbà tí ẹ̀yin bá lọ sí Ejibiti. Ẹ̀yin ó sì di ẹni ègún àti ẹni ẹ̀gàn àti ẹ̀sín, ẹ̀yin kì yóò sì rí ibí yìí mọ́.’
19 Yahweh hath spoken concerning you, O ye remnant of Judah, Do not enter into Egypt: Know certainly, that I have taken you to witness to-day.
“Ẹ̀yin yòókù Juda, Olúwa ti sọ fún un yín pé, ‘Kí ẹ má ṣe lọ sí Ejibiti.’ Ẹ mọ èyí dájú, èmi kìlọ̀ fún un yín lónìí,
20 For ye have deceived yourselves at the cost of your lives, for, ye yourselves, sent me unto Yahweh your God, saying, —Pray thou in our behalf, unto Yahweh our God, —and according to all that Yahweh our God shall say, so, tell us and we will do it.
pé àṣìṣe ńlá gbá à ni ẹ̀yin ṣe nígbà tí ẹ̀yin rán mi sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín pé, ‘Gbàdúrà sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa fún wa; sọ fún wa gbogbo ohun tí ó bá sọ, àwa yóò sì ṣe é.’
21 Therefore have I told you to-day, —and yet ye have not hearkened unto the voice of Yahweh your God, even in any thing for which he hath sent me unto you.
Mo ti sọ fún un yín lónìí, ṣùgbọ́n síbẹ̀ ẹ̀yin kò tí ì gbọ́ ohùn Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, àti gbogbo ohun tí ó rán mi láti sọ fún un yín.
22 Now, therefore, know ye certainly, that by sword, by famine, or by pestilence, shall ye die, —in the place whither ye have desired to go, to sojourn.
Ǹjẹ́ nísinsin yìí ẹ mọ èyí dájú pé, ẹ̀yin yóò kú nípa idà, ìyàn àti àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn níbikíbi tí ẹ̀yin bá fẹ́ lọ láti ṣe àtìpó.”
