Jeremias 14
1 AND THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME TO JEREMIAS CONCERNING THE DROUGHT.
Èyí ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa sí Jeremiah nípa ti àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn:
2 Judea has mourned, and her gates are emptied, and are darkened upon the earth; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up.
“Juda káàánú, àwọn ìlú rẹ̀ kérora wọ́n pohùnréré ẹkún fún ilẹ̀ wọn, igbe wọn sì gòkè lọ láti Jerusalẹmu.
3 And her nobles have sent their little ones to the water: they came to the wells, and found no water: and brought back their vessels empty.
Àwọn ọlọ́lá ènìyàn rán àwọn ìránṣẹ́ wọn lọ bu omi, wọ́n lọ sí ìdí àmù ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò rí omi. Wọ́n padà pẹ̀lú ìkòkò òfìfo; ìrẹ̀wẹ̀sì àti àìnírètí bá wọn, wọ́n sì bo orí wọn.
4 And the labours of the land failed, because there was no rain: the husbandmen were ashamed, they covered their heads.
Ilẹ̀ náà sán nítorí pé kò sí òjò ní ilẹ̀ náà; ìrètí àwọn àgbẹ̀ di òfo, wọ́n sì bo orí wọn.
5 And hinds calved in the field, and forsook [it], because there was no grass.
Kódà, abo àgbọ̀nrín tí ó wà lórí pápá fi ọmọ rẹ̀ tí ó ṣẹ̀ṣẹ̀ bí sílẹ̀, torí pé kò sí koríko.
6 The wild asses stood by the forests, and snuffed up the wind; their eyes failed, because there was no grass.
Àwọn kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ igbó dúró lórí òkè òfìfo wọ́n sì ń mí ẹ̀fúùfù bí ìkookò ojú wọn kò ríran nítorí pé kò sí koríko jíjẹ.”
7 Our sins have risen up against us: O Lord, do you for us for your own sake; for our sins are many before you; for we have sinned against you.
Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wa jẹ́rìí lòdì sí wa, wá nǹkan kan ṣe sí i Olúwa, nítorí orúkọ rẹ. Nítorí ìpadàsẹ́yìn wa ti pọ̀jù, a ti ṣẹ̀ sí ọ.
8 O Lord, [you are] the hope of Israel, and deliver [us] in time of troubles; why are you become as a sojourner upon the land, or as one born in the land, yet turning aside for a resting-place?
Ìrètí Israẹli; ìgbàlà rẹ lásìkò ìpọ́njú, èéṣe tí ìwọ dàbí àlejò ní ilẹ̀ náà bí arìnrìn-àjò tí ó dúró fún bí òru ọjọ́ kan péré?
9 Will you be as a man asleep, or as a [strong] man that can’t save? yet you are amongst us, O Lord, and your name is called upon us; forget us not.
Èéṣe tí ìwọ dàbí ẹni tí a dààmú, bí jagunjagun tí kò le ran ni lọ́wọ́? Ìwọ wà láàrín wa, Olúwa, orúkọ rẹ ni a sì ń pè mọ́ wa; má ṣe fi wá sílẹ̀.
10 Thus says the Lord to this people, They have loved to wander, and they have not spared, therefore God has not prospered them; now will he remember their iniquity.
Báyìí ni Olúwa sọ nípa àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí: “Wọ́n fẹ́ràn láti máa rìn kiri; wọn kò kó ọkàn wọn ní ìjánu. Nítorí náà Olúwa kò gbà wọ́n; yóò wá rántí ìwà búburú wọn báyìí, yóò sì fi ìyà ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn jẹ wọ́n.”
11 And the Lord said to me, Pray not for this people for [their] good:
Nígbà náà ni Olúwa sọ fún mi pé, “Má ṣe gbàdúrà fún àlàáfíà àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí.
12 for though they fast, I will not hear their supplication; and though they offer whole burnt offerings and sacrifices, I will take no pleasure in them: for I will consume them with sword, and with famine, and with pestilence.
Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé wọ́n gbààwẹ̀, èmi kò ní tẹ́tí sí igbe wọn. Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé wọ́n rú ẹbọ sísun àti ẹbọ ìyẹ̀fun, èmi ò nígbà wọ́n. Dípò bẹ́ẹ̀, èmi ó fi idà, ìyàn àti àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn pa wọ́n run.”
13 And I said, O [ever] living Lord! behold, their prophets prophesy, and say, You shall not see a sword, nor shall famine be amongst you; for I will give truth and peace on the land, and in this place.
Ṣùgbọ́n mo sọ pé, “Háà! Olúwa Olódùmarè. Àwọn wòlíì ń sọ fún wọn pé, ‘Ẹ kò ni rí idà tàbí ìyàn. Dájúdájú èmi ó fún yín ní àlàáfíà tí yóò tọ́jọ́ níbí yìí?’”
14 Then the Lord said to me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, and I commanded them not, and I spoke not to them: for they prophesy to you false visions, and divinations, and auguries, and devices of their own heart.
Nígbà náà Olúwa sọ fún mi pé, “Àwọn wòlíì ń sọ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ èké ní orúkọ mi. Èmi kò rán wọn, tàbí yàn wọ́n tàbí bá wọn sọ̀rọ̀. Ìran èké ni wọ́n ń rí sí i yín. Àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ èké ni wọ́n ń sọ fún un yín nípa ìran ìrírí, àfọ̀ṣẹ, ìbọ̀rìṣà àti ìtànjẹ ọkàn wọn.
15 Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the prophets that prophesy lies in my name, and I sent them not, who say, Sword and famine shall not be upon this land; they shall die by a grievous death, and the prophets shall be consumed by famine.
Nítorí náà, èyí ni Olúwa sọ nípa àwọn wòlíì tí wọ́n ń sọ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ lórúkọ mi. Èmi kò rán wọn, síbẹ̀ wọ́n sì ń sọ pé, ‘Idà kan tàbí ìyàn, kì yóò dé ilẹ̀ yìí.’ Àwọn wòlíì kan náà yóò parẹ́ nípa idà àti ìyàn.
16 And the people to whom they prophesy, they also shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem, because of the sword and famine; and there shall be none to bury them: their wives also, and their sons, and their daughters [shall die thus]; and I will pour out their wickedness upon them.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ sì ni àwọn ènìyàn tí wọ́n ń sọ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ fún ni a ó lé sí òpópónà Jerusalẹmu torí idà àti ìyàn. Wọn kò ní i rí ẹni tí yóò sìn wọ́n tàbí ìyàwó wọn, àwọn ọmọkùnrin àti ọmọbìnrin wọn. Èmi yóò mú ìdààmú tí ó yẹ bá ọmọkùnrin àti ọmọbìnrin wọn.
17 And you shall speak this word to them; Let your eyes shed tears day and night, and let them not cease: for the daughter of my people has been sorely bruised, and her plague is very grievous.
“Kí ìwọ kí ó sì sọ ọ̀rọ̀ yìí fún wọn pé: “‘Jẹ́ kí ojú mi kí ó sun omijé ní ọ̀sán àti ní òru láìdá; nítorí tí a ti ṣá wúńdíá, ọmọ ènìyàn mi ní ọgbẹ́ ńlá pẹ̀lú lílù bolẹ̀.
18 If I go forth into the plain, then behold the slain by the sword! and if I enter into the city, then behold the distress of famine! for priest and prophet have gone to a land which they knew not.
Bí mo bá lọ sí orílẹ̀-èdè náà, Èmi yóò rí àwọn tí wọ́n fi idà pa. Bí mo bá lọ sí ìlú ńlá, èmi rí àwọn tí ìyàn ti sọ di aláàrùn. Wòlíì àti Àlùfáà ti lọ sí ilẹ̀ tí wọn kò mọ̀.’”
19 Hast you utterly rejected Juda? and has your soul departed from Sion? therefore has you struck us, and there is no healing for us? we waited for peace, but there was no prosperity; for a time of healing, and behold trouble!
Ṣé o ti kọ Juda sílẹ̀ pátápátá ni? Ṣé o ti ṣá Sioni tì? Èéṣe tí o fi pọ́n wa lójú tí a kò fi le wò wá sàn? A ń retí àlàáfíà ṣùgbọ́n ohun rere kan kò tí ì wá, ní àsìkò ìwòsàn ìpayà là ń rí.
20 We know, O Lord, our sins, [and] the iniquities of our fathers: for we have sinned before you.
Olúwa, a jẹ́wọ́ ìwà ibi wa àti àìṣedéédéé àwọn baba wa; lóòótọ́ ni a ti ṣẹ̀ sí ọ.
21 Refrain for your name's sake, destroy not the throne of your glory: remember, break not your covenant with us.
Nítorí orúkọ rẹ má ṣe kórìíra wa; má ṣe sọ ìtẹ́ ògo rẹ di àìlọ́wọ̀. Rántí májẹ̀mú tí o bá wa dá kí o má ṣe dà á.
22 Is there any one amongst the idols of the Gentiles that can give rain? and will the sky yield his fulness [at their bidding]? Are not you he? we will even wait on you, O Lord: for you have made all these things.
Ǹjẹ́ èyíkéyìí àwọn òrìṣà yẹ̀yẹ́ tí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè le ṣe kí òjò rọ̀? Ǹjẹ́ àwọsánmọ̀ fúnra rẹ̀ rọ òjò bí? Rárá, ìwọ ni, Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa. Torí náà, ìrètí wa wà lọ́dọ̀ rẹ, nítorí pé ìwọ lo ń ṣe gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí.
