Jeremiah 8
1 “At that time,” A declaration of YHWH, “They bring the bones of the kings of Judah, And the bones of its princes, And the bones of the priests, And the bones of the prophets, And the bones of inhabitants of Jerusalem, Out of their graves,
“‘Ní ìgbà náà ni Olúwa wí pé, wọn yóò mú egungun àwọn ọba Juda àti egungun àwọn ìjòyè, egungun àwọn àlùfáà àti egungun àwọn wòlíì àti egungun àwọn olùgbé Jerusalẹmu kúrò nínú ibojì.
2 And have spread them to sun, and to moon, And to all the host of the heavens, that they have loved, And that they have served, And that they have walked after, And that they have sought, And to which they have bowed themselves, They are not gathered, nor buried, They are for dung on the face of the ground.

3 And death is chosen rather than life By all the remnant who are left of this evil family, In all the remaining places, to where I have driven them,” A declaration of YHWH of Hosts.
Níbikíbi tí mo bá lé wọn lọ, gbogbo àwọn ìyókù wọn yóò fẹ́ ikú ju ìyè lọ ni Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí.’
4 “And you have said to them, Thus said YHWH: Do they fall, and not rise? Does he turn back, and not return?
“Wí fún wọn pé, ‘Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí: “‘Bí ènìyàn bá ṣubú lulẹ̀, wọn kì í padà dìde bí? Nígbà tí ènìyàn bá yà kúrò ní ọ̀nà rẹ, kì í yí padà bí?
5 Why has this people of Jerusalem Turned back—a continuous backsliding? They have kept hold on deceit, They have refused to turn back.
Èéṣe nígbà náà àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí fi yà kúrò lọ́nà rẹ̀? Kí ló dé tí Jerusalẹmu fi yà kúrò ní gbogbo ìgbà? Wọ́n rọ̀ mọ́ ẹ̀tàn; wọ́n kọ̀ láti yípadà.
6 I have given attention, indeed, I listen, They do not speak right, No man has sighed over his wickedness, Saying, What have I done? Everyone has turned to his courses, As a horse is rushing into battle.
Mo ti fetísílẹ̀ dáradára, wọn kò sọ ohun tí ó tọ́. Kò sí ẹnìkan tó ronúpìwàdà nínú ìwà búburú rẹ̀, kí ó wí pé, “Kí ni mo ṣe?” Olúkúlùkù ń tọ ọ̀nà rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹṣin tó ń lọ sójú ogun.
7 Even a stork in the heavens has known her seasons, And turtle, and swallow, and crane, Have watched the time of their coming, And—My people have not known the judgment of YHWH.
Kódà, ẹyẹ àkọ̀ ojú ọ̀run mọ ìgbà tirẹ̀, àdàbà, alápáǹdẹ̀dẹ̀ àti lékèélékèé mọ àkókò ìṣípò padà wọn. Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ènìyàn mi kò mọ ohun tí Olúwa wọn fẹ́.
8 How do you say, We [are] wise, And the Law of YHWH [is] with us? Surely, behold, it has worked falsely, The false pen of scribes.
“‘Báwo ni ẹ̀yin ṣe lè wí pé, “Àwa gbọ́n, nítorí a ní òfin Olúwa,” nígbà tí ó jẹ́ pé kálámù èké àwọn akọ̀wé ti àwọn sọ ọ́ di ẹ̀tàn.
9 The wise have been ashamed, They have been frightened, and are captured, Behold, they kicked against a word of YHWH, And what wisdom do they have?
Ojú yóò ti àwọn ọlọ́gbọ́n, a ó dà wọ́n láàmú, wọn yóò sì kó sí ìgbèkùn. Nítorí wọ́n ti kọ ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa, irú ọgbọ́n wo ló kù tí wọ́n ní?
10 Therefore, I give their wives to others, Their fields to dispossessors, For from the least even to the greatest, Everyone is gaining dishonest gain, From prophet even to priest, everyone is dealing falsely.
Nítorí náà, èmi yóò fi ìyàwó wọn fún àwọn ọkùnrin mìíràn àti ilẹ̀ wọn fún àwọn ẹlòmíràn. Láti èyí tó kéré jù dé èyí tó dàgbà jù, gbogbo wọn ni èrè àjẹjù ń jẹ lógún; àwọn wòlíì àti àwọn àlùfáà pẹ̀lú ń hùwà ẹ̀tàn.
11 And they heal the breach of the daughter of My people slightly, Saying, Peace, peace! And there is no peace.
Wọ́n tọ́jú ọgbẹ́ àwọn ènìyàn mi gẹ́gẹ́ bí èyí tí kò jinlẹ̀. “Àlàáfíà, àlàáfíà,” ni wọ́n ń wí, nígbà tí kò sí àlàáfíà.
12 They were ashamed when they did abomination! Indeed, they are not ashamed at all, And they have not known blushing, Therefore, they fall among falling ones, They stumble in the time of their inspection, said YHWH.
Ǹjẹ́ wọ́n tijú fún ìṣe ìríra wọn? Bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́, wọn kò ní ìtìjú rárá; wọn kò tilẹ̀ mọ bí wọ́n ti ṣe ń tì jú. Nítorí náà wọn yóò ṣubú pẹ̀lú àwọn tó ti ṣubú, a ó sì wó wọ́n lulẹ̀ nígbà tí a bá bẹ̀ wọ́n wò, ni Olúwa wí.
13 I utterly consume them,” A declaration of YHWH, “There are no grapes in the vine, Indeed, there are no figs in the fig tree, And the leaf has faded, And the strength they have passes from them.
“‘Èmi yóò mú ìkórè wọn kúrò, ni Olúwa wí. Kì yóò sí èso lórí igi àjàrà. Kì yóò sí ọ̀pọ̀tọ́ lórí igi, ewé wọn yóò sì rẹ̀ sílẹ̀. Ohun tí mo ti fi fún wọn ni à ó gbà kúrò.’”
14 Why are we sitting still? Be gathered, and we go into the fortified cities, And we are silent there, For our God YHWH has made us silent, Indeed, He causes us to drink water of gall, For we have sinned against YHWH.
“Èéṣe tí àwa fi jókòó ní ibí yìí? A kó ara wa jọ! Jẹ́ kí a sálọ sí ìlú olódi kí a sì ṣègbé síbẹ̀. Nítorí tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa ti pinnu pé a ó ṣègbé. Yóò sì fún wa ní omi onímájèlé mu, nítorí àwa ti ṣẹ̀ sí i.
15 Looking for peace—and there is no good, For a time of healing, and behold—terror.
Àwa ń retí àlàáfíà kò sí ìre kan, tí ó wá ní ìgbà ìmúláradá bí kò ṣe ìpayà nìkan.
16 The snorting of his horses has been heard from Dan, From the voice of the neighings of his mighty ones, All the land has trembled, And they come in and consume the land and its fullness, The city and the inhabitants in it.
Ìró ìfọn imú ẹṣin àwọn ọlọ̀tẹ̀ là ń gbọ́ láti Dani, yíyan àwọn akọ ẹṣin mú gbogbo ilẹ̀ wárìrì. Wọ́n wá láti pa ilẹ̀ náà run, gbogbo ohun tó wà níbẹ̀, ìlú náà àti gbogbo olùgbé ibẹ̀.
17 For behold, I am sending serpents among you, Vipers that have no charmer, And they have bitten you,” A declaration of YHWH.
“Wò ó, èmi yóò rán àwọn ejò olóró sí àárín yín, paramọ́lẹ̀ tí ẹ kò lè pa oró wọn, yóò sì bù yín jẹ,” ni Olúwa wí.
18 My sorrow [is] beyond comfort, My heart [is] sick in me.
Olùtùnú mi, nígbà tí ìbànújẹ́ ọkàn mi, rẹ̀wẹ̀sì nínú mi.
19 Behold, the voice of a cry of the daughter of my people from a far-off land, Is YHWH not in Zion? Is her King not in her? “Why have they provoked Me with their carved images, With the vanities of a foreigner?”
Fetí sí ẹkún àwọn ènìyàn mi láti ilẹ̀ jíjìnnà wá: “Olúwa kò ha sí ní Sioni bí? Ọba rẹ̀ kò sí níbẹ̀ mọ́ ni?” “Èéṣe tí wọ́n fi mú mi bínú pẹ̀lú ère wọn, pẹ̀lú àwọn òrìṣà àjèjì tí wọn kò níláárí?”
20 Harvest has passed, summer has ended, And we have not been saved.
“Ìkórè ti rékọjá, ìgbà ẹ̀ẹ̀rùn ti parí, síbẹ̀ a kò gbà wá là.”
21 For a breach of the daughter of my people I have been broken, I have been dark, Astonishment has seized me.
Níwọ́n ìgbà tí a pa àwọn ènìyàn mi run, èmi náà run pẹ̀lú, èmi ṣọ̀fọ̀, ìrora sì mú mi káká.
22 Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why has the health of the daughter of my people not gone up?
Kò ha sí ìkunra ní Gileadi bí? Kò ha sí àwọn oníṣègùn níbẹ̀? Kí ló ha dé tí kò fi sí ìwòsàn fún ọgbẹ́ àwọn ènìyàn mi?
