Jeremiah 8
1 “‘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.
At that time, says the LORD, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves:
2 A ó yọ wọ́n síta fún oòrùn àti òṣùpá àti gbogbo àwọn ìràwọ̀ ojú ọ̀run tí wọ́n ti fẹ́ràn tí wọ́n sì ti sìn, àti àwọn tí wọ́n ti tọ̀ lẹ́yìn tí wọ́n ti wá tí wọ́n sì ti foríbalẹ̀ fún. Kì yóò ṣà wọ́n jọ tàbí sìn wọ́n, wọn yóò dàbí ìdọ̀tí tó wà lórí ilẹ̀.
And they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and whom they have worshipped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried; they shall be for dung on the face of the earth.
3 Níbikíbi tí mo bá lé wọn lọ, gbogbo àwọn ìyókù wọn yóò fẹ́ ikú ju ìyè lọ ni Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí.’
And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue of them that remain of this evil family, which remain in all the places where I have driven them, says the LORD of hosts.
4 “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?
Moreover you shall say to them, Thus says the LORD; Shall they fall, and not arise? shall he turn away, and not return?
5 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.
Why then is this people of Jerusalem slid back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.
6 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.
I listened and heard, but they spoke not aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turned to his course, as the horse rushes into the battle.
7 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.
Yes, the stork in the heaven knows her appointed times; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the LORD.
8 “‘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.
How do you say, We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us? See, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain.
9 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?
The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: see, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom is in them?
10 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.
Therefore will I give their wives to others, and their fields to them that shall inherit them: for every one from the least even to the greatest is given to covetousness, from the prophet even to the priest every one deals falsely.
11 Wọ́n tọ́jú ọgbẹ́ àwọn ènìyàn mi gẹ́gẹ́ bí èyí tí kò jinlẹ̀. “Àlàáfíà, àlàáfíà,” ni wọ́n ń wí, nígbà tí kò sí àlàáfíà.
For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.
12 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.
Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? no, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, says the LORD.
13 “‘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.’”
I will surely consume them, says the LORD: there shall be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; and the things that I have given them shall pass away from them.
14 “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.
Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the defended cities, and let us be silent there: for the LORD our God has put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD.
15 Àwa ń retí àlàáfíà kò sí ìre kan, tí ó wá ní ìgbà ìmúláradá bí kò ṣe ìpayà nìkan.
We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of health, and behold trouble!
16 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.
The snorting of his horses was heard from Dan: the whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones; for they are come, and have devoured the land, and all that is in it; the city, and those that dwell therein.
17 “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.
For, behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, says the LORD.
18 Olùtùnú mi, nígbà tí ìbànújẹ́ ọkàn mi, rẹ̀wẹ̀sì nínú mi.
When I would comfort myself against sorrow, my heart is faint in me.
19 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?”
Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people because of them that dwell in a far country: Is not the LORD in Zion? is not her king in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with strange vanities?
20 “Ìkórè ti rékọjá, ìgbà ẹ̀ẹ̀rùn ti parí, síbẹ̀ a kò gbà wá là.”
The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.
21 Níwọ́n ìgbà tí a pa àwọn ènìyàn mi run, èmi náà run pẹ̀lú, èmi ṣọ̀fọ̀, ìrora sì mú mi káká.
For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am black; astonishment has taken hold on me.
22 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?
Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
