Jeremiah 21
1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, when King Zedekiah sent to him Pashhur the son of Malchijah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, saying,
Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa sì tọ Jeremiah wá nígbà tí ọba Sedekiah rán Paṣuri ọmọ Malkiah àti àlùfáà Sefaniah ọmọ Maaseiah sí i; wọ́n wí pé:
2 “Please inquire of the LORD for us; for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon makes war against us. Perhaps the LORD will deal with us according to all his wondrous works, that he may withdraw from us.”
“Wádìí lọ́wọ́ Olúwa fún wa nítorí Nebukadnessari ọba Babeli ń kọlù wá. Bóyá Olúwa yóò ṣe ìyanu fún wa gẹ́gẹ́ bí ti àtẹ̀yìnwá, kí ó sì yípadà kúrò lọ́dọ̀ wa.”
3 Then Jeremiah said to them, “Tell Zedekiah:
Ṣùgbọ́n Jeremiah dáhùn wí pé, “Sọ fún Sedekiah,
4 ‘The LORD, the God of Israel says, “Behold, I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands, with which you fight against the king of Babylon, and against the Chaldeans who besiege you outside the walls; and I will gather them into the middle of this city.
‘Èyí ni Olúwa, Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí, Èmi fẹ́ kọjú idà tí ó wà lọ́wọ́ yín sí yín, èyí tí ẹ̀ ń lò láti bá ọba àti àwọn ará Babeli tí wọ́n wà lẹ́yìn odi jà, Èmi yóò sì kó wọn jọ sínú ìlú yìí.
5 I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, even in anger, in wrath, and in great indignation.
Èmi gan an yóò sì bá yín jà pẹ̀lú ohun ìjà olóró nínú ìbínú àti ìrunú líle.
6 I will strike the inhabitants of this city, both man and animal. They will die of a great pestilence.

7 Afterward,” says the LORD, “I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah, his servants, and the people, even those who are left in this city from the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those who seek their life. He will strike them with the edge of the sword. He will not spare them, have pity, or have mercy.”’
Olúwa sọ pé lẹ́yìn èyí, èmi yóò fi Sedekiah ọba Juda, àti àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀, àti àwọn ènìyàn, àti àwọn tí ó kù ní ìlú yìí lọ́wọ́ àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn àti lọ́wọ́ idà, àti lọ́wọ́ ìyàn; èmi yóò fi wọ́n lé Nebukadnessari ọba Babeli lọ́wọ́, àti lé ọwọ́ àwọn ọ̀tá wọn, àti lé ọwọ́ àwọn tí ń lépa ẹ̀mí wọn, òun yóò sì fi ojú idà pa wọ́n, kì yóò sì dá wọn sí, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kì yóò ní ìyọ́nú tàbí ṣàánú wọn.’
8 “You shall say to this people, ‘The LORD says: “Behold, I set before you the way of life and the way of death.
“Síwájú sí i, sọ fún àwọn ènìyàn, ‘Èyí ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tí ó sọ: Wò ó, Èmi ń fi ọ̀nà ìyè àti ikú hàn yín.
9 He who remains in this city will die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, but he who goes out and passes over to the Chaldeans who besiege you, he will live, and he will escape with his life.

10 For I have set my face on this city for evil, and not for good,” says the LORD. “It will be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will burn it with fire.”’
Mo ti pinnu láti jẹ ìlú yìí ní yà, ni Olúwa wí. A ó sì gbé e fún ọba Babeli, yóò sì run ún pẹ̀lú iná.’
11 “Concerning the house of the king of Judah, hear the LORD’s word:
“Ẹ̀wẹ̀, wí fún ìdílé ọba Juda pé, ‘Gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa.
12 House of David, the LORD says, ‘Execute justice in the morning, and deliver him who is robbed out of the hand of the oppressor, lest my wrath go out like fire, and burn so that no one can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.
Ilé Dafidi èyí ni ọ̀rọ̀ tí Olúwa sọ: “‘Ṣe ìdájọ́ tí ó tọ́ ní àràárọ̀; yọ ọ́ kúrò lọ́wọ́ ẹni tí ó ń ni í lára ẹni tí a ti jà lólè bí bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́ ìbínú mi yóò jáde síta, yóò sì jó bí iná. Nítorí ibi tí a ti ṣe yóò sì jó láìsí ẹni tí yóò pa á.
13 Behold, I am against you, O inhabitant of the valley, and of the rock of the plain,’ says the LORD. ‘You that say, “Who would come down against us?” or, “Who would enter into our homes?”
Mo kẹ̀yìn sí ọ, Jerusalẹmu, ìwọ tí o gbé lórí àfonífojì lórí òkúta tí ó tẹ́jú, ni Olúwa wí. Ìwọ tí o ti wí pé, “Ta ni ó le dojúkọ wá? Ta ni yóò wọ inú ibùgbé wa?”
14 I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings,’ says the LORD; ‘and I will kindle a fire in her forest, and it will devour all that is around her.’”
