Jeremiah 14
1 So much of the word of Yahweh as came unto Jeremiah, concerning the matter of the drought: —
Èyí ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa sí Jeremiah nípa ti àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn:
2 Judah mourneth, And the gates thereof, pine They lie in gloom on the ground, —And, the outcry of Jerusalem, hath ascended;
“Juda káàánú, àwọn ìlú rẹ̀ kérora wọ́n pohùnréré ẹkún fún ilẹ̀ wọn, igbe wọn sì gòkè lọ láti Jerusalẹmu.
3 And, their nobles have sent their menials to the waters, —They have been to the pits, They have found no water They have returned, their vessels empty, They are pale and ashamed and have covered their heads.
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, is cracked, For there hath been no rain in the land, The plowmen are pale They have covered their heads.
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 of the field hath calved and forsaken, Because there is no young herbage;
Kódà, abo àgbọ̀nrín tí ó wà lórí pápá fi ọmọ rẹ̀ tí ó ṣẹ̀ṣẹ̀ bí sílẹ̀, torí pé kò sí koríko.
6 Yea, wild asses stand still on the bare heights, They pant for air like jackals, —Dimmed are their eyes Because there is no grass.
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 Though, our iniquities, have testified against us, O Yahweh, effectually work thou for the sake of thy Name, —For our apostasies have abounded Against thee, have we 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 Thou Hope of Israel, His Saviour in the time of distress, —Wherefore shouldst thou be as a sojourner in the and? Or as a wayfarer, who hath turned aside to lodge for the night?
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 Wherefore, shouldst thou be as a man astounded, As a mighty man who cannot save? Yet, thou, art in our midst—O Yahweh And, thy Name, on us, hath been called Do not abandon us!
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, saith Yahweh To this people In this way, have they loved to wander, Their feet, have they not restrained, —Yahweh, therefore hath not accepted them, Now, will he call to mind their iniquity, —That he may punish their sins.
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 Yahweh said unto me, —Do not pray for this people for blessing;
Nígbà náà ni Olúwa sọ fún mi pé, “Má ṣe gbàdúrà fún àlàáfíà àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí.
12 Though they fast, I am not going to hearken unto their loud cry, and Though they offer ascending-sacrifice and meal-offering, I am not going to accept them, —For with sword and with famine and with pestilence, am, I, about to consume 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 Then said I, Ah, My Lord Yahweh! Lo! the prophets, are saying to them—Ye shall not see the sword And famine, shall ye not have, —For prosperity in truth, will I give 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 So then Yahweh said unto me, Falsehood, are the prophets prophesying in my name, I have not sent them Neither have I commanded them, Neither have I spoken unto them, —A vision of falsehood, and A divination of worthlessness and A fraud of their own hearts, They, are prophesying unto 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, saith Yahweh concerning the prophets who are prophesying in my Name though, I, sent them not, and yet, they have been, saying, Neither sword nor famine, shall there be in this land, —By sword or by famine, shall, those prophets, be 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 have been prophesying shall be getting cast out into the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword, and of there being none to give burial unto them, them, their wives, nor their sons nor their daughters, —So will I pour out upon them their own wickedness.
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 Therefore shalt thou say unto them this word, Let mine eyes, run down with tears night and day, And let them not rest, —For with a grievous injury, hath been injured the virgin the daughter of my people, With a wound, severe indeed!
“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 out into the field, Then lo! the slain of the sword! And, if I have entered the city, Then lo! the diseases of famine! For, both prophet and priest, have trafficked against the land unnoticed.
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 itself, hath thy soul loathed? Why, hast thou smitten us so that there is for us no healing? A waiting For prosperity, but no welfare, and For a time of healing, but 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 acknowledge O Yahweh Our own lawlessness 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 the sake of thy Name, Do not treat with contempt—the throne of thy glory, —Remember!—do not break 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 senders of rain? Or can, the heavens themselves, give myriad drops? Art not, thou, he, O Yahweh our God? Therefore will we wait for thee, For, thou, hast made 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.
