Jeremiah 14
1 That which hath been the word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah concerning the matters of the dearths:
Èyí ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa sí Jeremiah nípa ti àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn:
2 Mourned hath Judah, and her gates have languished, They have mourned to the earth, And the cry of Jerusalem hath gone up.
“Juda káàánú, àwọn ìlú rẹ̀ kérora wọ́n pohùnréré ẹkún fún ilẹ̀ wọn, igbe wọn sì gòkè lọ láti Jerusalẹmu.
3 And their honourable ones have sent their little ones to the water, They have come unto ditches, They have not found water, They have turned back — their vessels empty! They have been ashamed, And have blushed and covered their head.
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 Because the ground hath been broken, For there hath been no rain in the land, Ashamed have been husbandmen, They have covered their head.
Ilẹ̀ náà sán nítorí pé kò sí òjò ní ilẹ̀ náà; ìrètí àwọn àgbẹ̀ di òfo, wọ́n sì bo orí wọn.
5 For even the hind in the field hath brought forth — to forsake [it!] For there hath been no grass.
Kódà, abo àgbọ̀nrín tí ó wà lórí pápá fi ọmọ rẹ̀ tí ó ṣẹ̀ṣẹ̀ bí sílẹ̀, torí pé kò sí koríko.
6 And wild asses have stood on high places, They have swallowed up wind like dragons, Consumed have been their eyes, for there is no herb.
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 Surely our iniquities have testified against us, O Jehovah, work for Thy name's sake, For many have been our backslidings, Against Thee we have sinned.
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 Hope of Israel — its saviour in time of trouble, Why art Thou as a sojourner in the land? And as a traveller turned aside to lodge?
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 Why art Thou as one dumb? As a mighty one not able to save? And Thou [art] in our midst, O Jehovah, And Thy name over us is called, leave 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 said Jehovah concerning this people: Well they have loved to wander, Their feet they have not restrained, And Jehovah hath not accepted them, Now doth He remember their iniquity, And inspect their sin.
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 Jehovah saith unto me: Thou dost not pray for this people for good,
Nígbà náà ni Olúwa sọ fún mi pé, “Má ṣe gbàdúrà fún àlàáfíà àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí.
12 When they fast, I hearken not unto their cry, And when they cause to ascend burnt-offering and present, I accept them not, For by sword, and by famine, And by pestilence, I am consuming them.
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 say, 'Ah, Lord Jehovah, Lo, the prophets are saying to them: Ye do not see a sword, yea, famine is not to you, For true peace I give to you 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 And Jehovah saith unto me: Falsehood the prophets are prophesying in My name, I did not send them, nor command them, Nor have I spoken unto them: A false vision, and divination, and vanity, And the deceit of their own heart, they are prophesying to you.
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 said Jehovah concerning the prophets who are prophesying in My name, and I have not sent them, and they are saying, Sword and famine is not in this land: By sword and by famine are these prophets consumed.
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 are prophesying, Are cast into out-places of Jerusalem, Because of the famine, and of the sword, And they have none burying them, Them, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, And I have poured out upon them this evil.
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 thou hast said unto them this word: Tears come down mine eyes night and day, And they do not cease, For, [with] a great breach, Broken hath been the virgin daughter of my people, A very grievous stroke.
“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 have gone forth to the field, Then, lo, the pierced of the sword! And if I have entered the city, Then, lo, the diseased of famine! For both prophet and priest have gone up and down Unto a land that 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 Thou utterly rejected Judah? Zion hath Thy soul loathed? Wherefore hast Thou smitten us, And there is no healing to us? Looking for peace, and there is no good, And for a time of healing, and lo, terror.
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 have known, O Jehovah, our wickedness, The iniquity of our fathers, For we have sinned against Thee.
Olúwa, a jẹ́wọ́ ìwà ibi wa àti àìṣedéédéé àwọn baba wa; lóòótọ́ ni a ti ṣẹ̀ sí ọ.
21 Do not despise, for Thy name's sake, Dishonour not the throne of Thine honour, Remember, break not Thy 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 Are there among the vanities of the nations any causing rain? And do the heavens give showers? Art not Thou He, O Jehovah our God? And we wait for thee, for Thou — Thou hast done all these!
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.
