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—this is Yahweh's declaration—they will bring out from the graves the bones of the kings of Judah and its officials, the bones of the priests and the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
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.
Then they will spread them out in the light of the sun and moon and all the stars of the skies; these things in the sky that they have followed and served, that they have walked after and sought, and that they have worshiped. The bones will not be gathered or buried again. They will be like dung on the surface 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.’
In every remaining place where I have driven them, they will choose death instead of life for themselves, all who are still left over from this evil nation—this is the declaration of Yahweh 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?
So say to them, 'Yahweh says this: Does anyone fall and not get up? Does anyone get lost and not try to 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 has this people, Jerusalem, turned away in permanent faithlessness? They hold on to treachery and refuse to repent.
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 paid attention and listened, but they did not speak right; no one was sorry for his wickedness, no one who says, “What have I done?” All of them go where they wish, like a stallion rushing toward 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.
Even the stork in heaven knows the right times; and the doves, swifts, and cranes. They go on their migrations at the right time, but my people do not know Yahweh's decrees.
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 can you say, “We are wise, for the law of Yahweh is with us”? Indeed, see! The deceitful pen of the scribes has created deceit.
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 will be ashamed. They are dismayed and trapped. Behold! They reject Yahweh's word, so what use is their wisdom?
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.
So I will give their wives to others, and their fields to those who will possess them, because from the least to the greatest, all of them are greedy for dishonest gain! From the prophet to the priest, all of them practice deceit.
11 Wọ́n tọ́jú ọgbẹ́ àwọn ènìyàn mi gẹ́gẹ́ bí èyí tí kò jinlẹ̀. “Àlàáfíà, àlàáfíà,” ni wọ́n ń wí, nígbà tí kò sí àlàáfíà.
They healed the wounds of my people lightly, saying, “Peace, Peace,” when there was 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 practiced abominations? They were not ashamed; they did not know how to blush! So they will fall among the fallen; they will be brought down when they are punished, says Yahweh.
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 remove them completely—this is Yahweh's declaration—there will be no grapes on the vine, nor will there be figs on the fig trees. For the leaf will wither, and what I have given to them will pass away.
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 are we sitting here? Come together; let us go to the fortified cities, and we will become silent there in death. For Yahweh our God will silence us. He will make us drink poison, since we have sinned against him.
15 Àwa ń retí àlàáfíà kò sí ìre kan, tí ó wá ní ìgbà ìmúláradá bí kò ṣe ìpayà nìkan.
We are hoping for peace, but there will be nothing good. We are hoping for a time of healing, but see, there will be terror.
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 stallions is heard from Dan. The whole earth shakes at the sound of the neighing of his strong horses. For they will come and consume the land and its wealth, the city and the ones living in it.
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 see, I am sending out snakes among you, vipers that you cannot charm. They will bite you—this is Yahweh's declaration.'”
18 Olùtùnú mi, nígbà tí ìbànújẹ́ ọkàn mi, rẹ̀wẹ̀sì nínú mi.
My sorrow has no end, and my heart is sick.
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 screaming voice of the daughter of my people from a land far away! Is Yahweh not in Zion? Is her king no longer there? Why then do they provoke me to anger with their carved figures and their worthless foreign idols?
20 “Ìkórè ti rékọjá, ìgbà ẹ̀ẹ̀rùn ti parí, síbẹ̀ a kò gbà wá là.”
The harvest has passed on, summer is over. But we have not been saved.
21 Níwọ́n ìgbà tí a pa àwọn ènìyàn mi run, èmi náà run pẹ̀lú, èmi ṣọ̀fọ̀, ìrora sì mú mi káká.
I am hurt because of the hurt of the daughter of my people. I mourn at the horrible things that have happened to her; I am dismayed.
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 medicine in Gilead? Is there no healer there? Why will the healing of the daughter of my people not happen?
