Jeremiah 33

33 ¹Di word of our Papa come to Jeremiah di second time, wen dem still hold am for di courtyard wey di guard dey: ²Na so our Papa talk—di one wey make di earth, wey form am make e stand—our Papa na im name:

³Call me, and I go answer you, and I go tell you big-big tin wey dem hide, tin wey you no sabi.

⁴Because na so our Papa of Israel talk concerning di houses of dis city and di houses of di kings of Judah, wey dem don break down to fight di siege ramps and di sword:

⁵Dem dey come fight di Babylon people, but na only to fill dis houses with dead body of di men wey I strike for my vex and my anger, because I hide my face from dis city because of all dia bad-bad way. ⁶See, I go bring healing and health give dis city; I go heal my people and show dem peace and faithfulness wey plenty and wey go last. ⁷I go restore di better tin of Judah and di better tin of Israel, and I go build dem back like for di beginning. ⁸I go make dem clean from all di wrong wey dem do sin against me, and I go forgive all di wrong wey dem do sin and rebel against me. ⁹Dis city go be name of joy give me, and praise, and glory before all di nations of di earth wey go hear all di good tin wey I dey do for dem. Dem go fear and dem body go shake because of all di good and di peace wey I bring give am.

¹⁰Na so our Papa talk: For dis place wey una dey call ruin, wey no get man or animal, for di cities of Judah and di streets of Jerusalem, wey dey lie empty without man, without person wey dey stay, without animal, dem go hear again. ¹¹Di voice of joy and di voice of gladness, di voice of di bridegroom and di voice of di bride, di voice of di people wey dey bring thank offering come di house of our Papa, dey talk, ‘Give thanks to di Papa of di armies of heaven, because e good; im Covenant love dey last forever.’ Because I go restore di better tin of di land like before, na so our Papa talk.

¹²Na so di Papa of di armies of heaven talk: Again, for dis ruin place—wey empty of people and animals—and for all im towns, shepherd go make dia flock rest for pasture. ¹³For di towns of di hill country, di Shephelah, di Negev, di land of Benjamin, di area round Jerusalem, and di towns of Judah, flock go pass again under di hand of di one wey dey count dem, na so our Papa talk. ^a a v13 Di Shephelah: di low foothills for west Judah, between di central highland and di plain wey dey near di sea.

¹⁴See, di days dey come, na so our Papa talk, wen I go make di good promise wey I make to di house of Israel and di house of Judah happen. ¹⁵For dat time and dat day, I go make one correct-and-holy Branch sprout come out for David, and e go do justice and correct-and-holy way for di land. ^b b v15 Di Branch: na messiah title for di correct-and-holy king wey promise say e go come from di line of David. ¹⁶For dat time, dem go save Judah and Jerusalem go stay for safe place. And dis na di name wey dem go call am: ‘Our Papa na our correct-and-holy way.’

¹⁷Because na so our Papa talk: David no go ever lack man wey go sidon for di throne of di house of Israel. ¹⁸Di Levite priests no go ever lack man wey go stand before me dey offer burnt offering, dey burn grain offering, and dey make sacrifice, all di time.

¹⁹Di word of our Papa come to Jeremiah:

²⁰Na so our Papa talk: If you fit break my Covenant with day and my Covenant with night, so that day and night no go come again for dia proper time, ²¹den my Covenant with David my servant fit break too—no pikin of im own go reign for im throne—and my Covenant with di Levite priests wey dey serve me. ²²As dem no fit count di stars of heaven, and dem no fit measure di sand of di sea, na so I go make di pikin of David my servant plenty, and di Levites wey dey serve me.

²³Di word of our Papa come to Jeremiah:

²⁴You no notice wetin dis people dey talk: ‘Di two families wey our Papa choose, e don throway dem’? Dem dey despise my people, say dem no be nation again for dia eye. ²⁵Na so our Papa talk: If I no set my Covenant with day and night and di fixed laws of heaven and earth, ²⁶den I for throway di pikin of Jacob and di pikin of my servant David, and refuse to take from im line di rulers wey go rule di pikin of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. But I go bring back dia better tin, and my belle go pain me for dem.
