Jeremiah 9
1 Oh, that mine head were full of water and mine eyes a fountaine of teares, that I might weepe day and night for the slayne of the daughter of my people.
Háà! Orí ìbá jẹ́ orísun omi kí ojú mi sì jẹ́ orísun omijé! Èmi yóò sì sọkún tọ̀sán tòru nítorí ìparun àwọn ènìyàn mi.
2 Oh, that I had in the wildernes a cottage of wayfaring men, that I might leaue my people, and go from them: for they be all adulterers and an assembly of rebels,
Háà, èmi ìbá ní ni aginjù ilé àgbàwọ̀ fún àwọn arìnrìn-àjò, kí n ba à lè fi àwọn ènìyàn mi sílẹ̀ kí n sì lọ kúrò lọ́dọ̀ wọn: nítorí gbogbo wọn jẹ́ panṣágà àjọ aláìṣòótọ́ ènìyàn.
3 And they bende their tongues like their bowes for lyes: but they haue no courage for the trueth vpon the earth: for they proceede from euill to worse, and they haue not knowen mee, sayth the Lord.
Wọ́n ti pèsè ahọ́n wọn sílẹ̀ bí ọfà láti fi pa irọ́; kì í ṣe nípa òtítọ́ ni wọ́n fi borí ní ilẹ̀ náà. Wọ́n ń lọ láti inú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ kan sí òmíràn; wọn kò sì náání mi, ní Olúwa wí.
4 Let euery one take heede of his neighbour, and trust you not in any brother: for euery brother will vse deceite, and euery friend will deale deceitfully,
“Ṣọ́ra fún àwọn ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ; má ṣe gbẹ́kẹ̀lé àwọn arákùnrin rẹ. Nítorí pé oníkálùkù arákùnrin jẹ́ atannijẹ, oníkálùkù ọ̀rẹ́ sì jẹ́ abanijẹ́.
5 And euery one wil deceiue his friende, and wil not speake the trueth: for they haue taught their tongues to speake lies, and take great paynes to do wickedly.
Ọ̀rẹ́ ń dalẹ̀ ọ̀rẹ́. Kò sì ṣí ẹni tó sọ òtítọ́, wọ́n ti kọ́ ahọ́n wọn láti máa purọ́. Wọ́n sọ ara wọn di onírẹ̀wẹ̀sì pẹ̀lú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀
6 Thine habitation is in the middes of deceiuers: because of their deceit they refuse to know me, sayth the Lord.
Ó ń gbé ní àárín ẹ̀tàn; wọ́n kọ̀ láti mọ̀ mí nínú ẹ̀tàn wọn,” ni Olúwa wí.
7 Therefore thus sayth the Lord of hostes, Behold, I wil melt them, and trie them: for what should I els do for the daughter of my people?
Nítorí náà, èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run Àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí: “Wò ó, èmi dán wọn wo; nítorí pé kí ni èmi tún le è ṣe? Nítorí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àwọn ènìyàn mi?
8 Their tongue is as an arow shot out, and speaketh deceite: one speaketh peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in his heart hee layeth waite for him.
Ahọ́n wọn dàbí ọfà olóró; ó ń sọ ẹ̀tàn. Oníkálùkù sì ń fi ẹnu rẹ̀ sọ̀rọ̀ àlàáfíà sí aládùúgbò rẹ̀, ní inú ọkàn rẹ̀, ó dẹ tàkúté sílẹ̀.
9 Shal I not visit them for these things, saith the Lord? or shall not my soule be auenged on such a nation as this?
Èmi kì yóò ha fi ìyà jẹ wọ́n nítorí èyí?” ni Olúwa wí. “Èmi kì yóò ha gbẹ̀san ara mi lórí irú orílẹ̀-èdè yìí bí?”
10 Vpon the mountaines will I take vp a weeping and a lamentation, and vpon the fayre places of the wildernes a mourning, because they are burnt vp: so that none can passe through them, neyther can men heare the voyce of the flocke: both the foule of the aire, and the beast are fled away and gone.
Èmi yóò sì sọkún, pohùnréré ẹkún fún àwọn òkè àti ẹkún ìrora lórí pápá oko aginjù wọ̀n-ọn-nì. Nítorí wọ́n di ahoro, wọn kò sì kọjá ní ibẹ̀. A kò sì gbọ́ igbe ẹran ọ̀sìn. Àwọn ẹyẹ ojú ọ̀run sì ti sálọ, bẹ́ẹ̀ náà ni àwọn ẹranko sì ti lọ.
11 And I wil make Ierusalem an heape, and a den of dragons, and I will make the cities of Iudah waste, without an inhabitant.
“Èmi yóò sì sọ Jerusalẹmu di òkìtì àlàpà àti ihò àwọn ìkookò. Èmi ó sì sọ ìlú Juda di ahoro tí ẹnikẹ́ni kò sì ní le è gbé.”
12 Who is wise, to vnderstande this? and to whome the mouth of the Lord hath spoken, euen he shall declare it. Why doth the land perish, and is burnt vp like a wildernesse, that none passeth through?
Ta ni ẹni náà tí ó ní ọgbọ́n láti mòye nǹkan wọ̀nyí? Ta ni Olúwa ti sọ èyí fún, tí ó sì lè ṣàlàyé rẹ̀? Èéṣe tí ilẹ̀ náà fi ṣègbé bí aginjù, tí ẹnìkankan kò sì le là á kọjá?
13 And the Lord sayeth, Because they haue forsaken my Lawe, which I set before them, and haue not obeyed my voice, neither walked thereafter,
Olúwa sì wí pé, nítorí pé wọ́n ti kọ òfin mi sílẹ̀, èyí tí mo gbé kalẹ̀ níwájú wọn, wọn ṣe àìgbọ́ràn sí wọn, wọn kò sì rìn nínú òfin mi.
14 But haue walked after the stubbernesse of their owne heart, and after Baalims, which their fathers taught them,
Dípò èyí, wọ́n ti tẹ̀lé agídí ọkàn wọn, wọ́n ti tẹ̀lé Baali gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn baba wọn ṣe kọ́ wọn.
15 Therefore thus sayth the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Behold, I will feede this people with wormewood, and giue them waters of gall to drinke:
Nítorí náà, èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun, Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí, “Wò ó, Èmi yóò mú kí àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí jẹ oúnjẹ kíkorò àti láti mu omi májèlé.
16 I wil scatter them also among the heathen, whom neither they nor their fathers haue knowen, and I will send a sworde after them, til I haue consumed them.
Èmi yóò sì tú wọn ká láàrín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè, nínú èyí tí àwọn tàbí àwọn baba wọn kò mọ̀. Èmi yóò sì lépa wọn pẹ̀lú idà títí èmi yóò fi pa wọ́n run.”
17 Thus sayeth the Lord of hostes, Take heede, and call for the mourning women, that they may come, and send for skilfull women that they may come,
Èyí sì ni ohun tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí: “Sá à wò ó nísinsin yìí! Ké sí obìnrin ti ń ṣọ̀fọ̀ nì kí ó wá; sì ránṣẹ́ pe àwọn tí ó mòye nínú wọn.
18 And let them make haste, and let them take vp a lamentation for vs, that our eyes may cast out teares and our eye liddes gush out of water.
Jẹ́ kí wọn wá kíákíá, kí wọn wá pohùnréré ẹkún lé wa lórí títí ojú wa yóò fi sàn fún omijé tí omi yóò sì máa sàn àwọn ìpéǹpéjú wa.
19 For a lamentable noyse is heard out of Zion, Howe are we destroyed, and vtterly confounded, for we haue forsaken the land, and our dwellings haue cast vs out.
A gbọ́ igbe ìpohùnréré ẹkún ní Sioni: ‘Àwa ti ṣègbé tó! A gbọdọ̀ fi ilẹ̀ wa sílẹ̀, nítorí pé àwọn ilé wa ti parun.’”
20 Therefore heare the worde of the Lord, O ye women, and let your eares regard the words of his mouth, and teach your daughters to mourne, and euery one her neighbour to lament.
Nísinsin yìí, ẹ̀yin obìnrin ẹ gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa; ṣí etí yín sí ọ̀rọ̀ ẹnu rẹ. Kọ́ àwọn ọmọbìnrin yín ní ìpohùnréré ẹkún, kí ẹ sì kọ́ ara yín ní arò.
21 For death is come vp into our windowes, and is entred into our palaces, to destroy the children without, and the yong men in the streetes.
Ikú ti gba ojú fèrèsé wa wọlé ó sì ti wọ odi alágbára wa ó ti ké àwọn ọmọ kúrò ní àdúgbò àti àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin kúrò ní gbọ̀ngàn ìta gbangba.
22 Speake, thus sayth the Lord, The carkeises of men shall lye, euen as the doung vpon the fielde, and as the handfull after the mower, and none shall gather them.
Sọ pé, “Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí: “‘Òkú àwọn ènìyàn yóò ṣubú bí ààtàn ní oko gbangba àti bí ìbùkúnwọ́ lẹ́yìn olùkórè láìsí ẹnìkankan láti kó wọn jọ.’”
23 Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his wisedome, nor the strong man glorie in his strength, neyther the riche man glorie in his riches.
Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí: “Má ṣe jẹ́ kí ọlọ́gbọ́n yangàn nítorí agbára ọgbọ́n rẹ̀, tàbí alágbára nítorí agbára rẹ̀, tàbí ọlọ́rọ̀ nítorí ọrọ̀ rẹ̀.
24 But let him that glorieth, glorie in this, that he vnderstandeth, and knoweth me: for I am the Lord, which shewe mercie, iudgement, and righteousnes in the earth: for in these things I delite, sayth the Lord.
Ẹ jẹ́ kí ẹni tí ń ṣògo nípa èyí nì wí pé: òun ní òye, òun sì mọ̀ mí wí pé, Èmi ni Olúwa tí ń ṣe òtítọ́, ìdájọ́ àti òdodo ní ayé, nínú èyí ni mo ní inú dídùn sí,” Olúwa wí.
25 Beholde, the dayes come, sayth the Lord, that I wil visite all them, which are circumcised with the vncircumcised:
“Ọjọ́ ń bọ̀,” ni Olúwa wí, “tí Èmi yóò fi ìyà jẹ gbogbo àwọn tí a kọ ilà fún nínú ara nìkan.
26 Egypt and Iudah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all the vtmost corners of them that dwell in the wildernesse: for all these nations are vncircumcised, and al the house of Israel are vncircumcised in the heart.
Ejibiti, Juda, Edomu, Ammoni, Moabu àti gbogbo àwọn tí ń gbé ní ọ̀nà jíjìn réré ní aginjù. Nítorí pé gbogbo àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè wọ̀nyí jẹ́ aláìkọlà gbogbo àwọn ará ilé Israẹli sì jẹ́ aláìkọlà ọkàn.”
