Lamentations 4 - Listen Online

¹ BAWO ni wura ṣe di baibai! bawo ni wura didara julọ ṣe pada! okuta ibi-mimọ́ li a tuka ni gbogbo ori ita.

¹ How is the gold become dim! how is the most fine gold changed! the stones of the sanctuary are poured out in the top of every street.

² Awọn ọmọ iyebiye Sioni, ti o niye lori bi wura didara, bawo li a ṣe kà wọn si bi ikoko amọ̀, iṣẹ ọwọ alamọ̀!

² The precious sons of Zion, comparable to fine gold, how are they esteemed as earthen pitchers, the work of the hands of the potter!

³ Ani ọ̀wawa nfà ọmu jade, nwọn nfi ọmu fun awọn ọmọ wọn: ṣugbọn ọmọbinrin awọn enia mi ti di ìka, gẹgẹ bi abo ògongo li aginju.

³ Even the sea monsters draw out the breast, they give suck to their young ones: the daughter of my people is become cruel, like the ostriches in the wilderness.

⁴ Ahọn ọmọ-ọmu lẹ̀ mọ oke ẹnu rẹ̀ nitori ongbẹ: awọn ọmọ kekere mbere onjẹ, ẹnikan kò si bu u fun wọn.

⁴ The tongue of the sucking child cleaveth to the roof of his mouth for thirst: the young children ask bread, and no man breaketh it unto them.

⁵ Awọn ti o ti njẹ ohun didùndidùn nkú lọ ni ita: awọn ti a ti tọ́ ninu aṣọ-òdodó, gbá ãtàn mọra.

⁵ They that did feed delicately are desolate in the streets: they that were brought up in scarlet embrace dunghills.

⁶ Nitori aiṣedede ọmọbinrin awọn enia mi tobi jù ẹ̀ṣẹ Sodomu lọ, ti a bì ṣubu ni iṣẹju, laisi iṣiṣẹ ọwọ ninu rẹ̀.

⁶ For the punishment of the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the punishment of the sin of Sodom, that was overthrown as in a moment, and no hands stayed on her.

⁷ Awọn Nasire rẹ̀ mọ́ jù ẹ̀gbọn-owu, nwọn funfun jù wàra; irisi wọn pọn jù iyùn, apẹrẹ wọn dabi okuta Safire:

⁷ Her Nazarites were purer than snow, they were whiter than milk, they were more ruddy in body than rubies, their polishing was of sapphire:

⁸ Oju wọn dudu jù ẽdu nisisiyi; a kò mọ̀ wọn ni ita: àwọ wọn lẹ mọ egungun wọn; o di gbigbẹ gẹgẹ bi igi.

⁸ Their visage is blacker than a coal; they are not known in the streets: their skin cleaveth to their bones; it is withered, it is become like a stick.

⁹ Awọn ti a fi idà pa san jù awọn ti a fi ebi pa, ti ndaku, ti a gún wọn lara nitori aisi eso-oko.

⁹ They that be slain with the sword are better than they that be slain with hunger: for these pine away, stricken through for want of the fruits of the field.

¹⁰ Ọwọ awọn obinrin alãnu ti sè awọn ọmọ awọn tikarawọn: awọn wọnyi li ohun jijẹ fun wọn ni igba wahala ọmọbinrin awọn enia mi.

¹⁰ The hands of the pitiful women have sodden their own children: they were their meat in the destruction of the daughter of my people.

¹¹ Oluwa ti ṣe aṣepe irunu rẹ̀; o ti dà ibinu gbigbona rẹ̀ jade, o ti dá iná ni Sioni, ti o si ti jo ipilẹ rẹ̀ run.

¹¹ The LORD hath accomplished his fury; he hath poured out his fierce anger, and hath kindled a fire in Zion, and it hath devoured the foundations thereof.

¹² Awọn ọba aiye, ati gbogbo olugbe ilẹ-aiye, kò gbagbọ pe aninilara ati ọta iba ti wọ inu ẹnu-bode Jerusalemu.

¹² The kings of the earth, and all the inhabitants of the world, would not have believed that the adversary and the enemy should have entered into the gates of Jerusalem.

¹³ Nitori ẹ̀ṣẹ awọn woli rẹ̀, ati aiṣedede awọn alufa rẹ̀, ti nwọn ti ta ẹ̀jẹ awọn olododo silẹ li ãrin rẹ̀.

¹³ For the sins of her prophets, and the iniquities of her priests, that have shed the blood of the just in the midst of her,

¹⁴ Nwọn ti rin kiri bi afọju ni ita, nwọn di alaimọ́ fun ẹ̀jẹ tobẹ̃ ti enia kò le fi ọwọ kan aṣọ wọn.

¹⁴ They have wandered as blind men in the streets, they have polluted themselves with blood, so that men could not touch their garments.

¹⁵ Nwọn nkigbe si wọn pe, ẹ lọ! alaimọ́ ni! ẹ lọ! ẹ lọ! ẹ máṣe fi ọwọ kan a! nigbati nwọn salọ, nwọn si rìn kiri pẹlu: nwọn nwi lãrin awọn orilẹ-ède pe, awọn kì o ṣatipo nibẹ mọ.

¹⁵ They cried unto them, Depart ye; it is unclean; depart, depart, touch not: when they fled away and wandered, they said among the heathen, They shall no more sojourn there.

¹⁶ Oju Oluwa ti tú wọn ka: on kì o fiyesi wọn mọ: nwọn kò buyin fun awọn alufa, nwọn kò ṣãnu fun awọn àgbagba.

¹⁶ The anger of the LORD hath divided them; he will no more regard them: they respected not the persons of the priests, they favoured not the elders.

¹⁷ Bi o ṣe ti wa ni, oju wa nwọ̀na siwaju ati siwaju, fun iranlọwọ wa ti o jẹ asan: lori ile-iṣọ wa, awa nwọ̀na fun orilẹ-ède, ti kò le ràn ni lọwọ.

¹⁷ As for us, our eyes as yet failed for our vain help: in our watching we have watched for a nation that could not save us.

¹⁸ Nwọn dẹkun si ipa ọ̀na wa, ti awa kò le rìn ita wa: opin wa sunmọ tosi, ọjọ wa pé; nitori opin wa de.

¹⁸ They hunt our steps, that we cannot go in our streets: our end is near, our days are fulfilled; for our end is come.

¹⁹ Awọn ti nlepa wa yara jù idì ọrun lọ: nwọn nlepa wa lori oke wọnni, nwọn bà dè wa li aginju.

¹⁹ Our persecutors are swifter than the eagles of the heaven: they pursued us upon the mountains, they laid wait for us in the wilderness.

²⁰ Ẽmi iho imu wa, ani ẹni-ororo Oluwa, ni a mu ninu ọ̀fin wọn, niti ẹniti awa wipe, labẹ ojiji rẹ̀ li awa o ma gbé lãrin awọn orilẹ-ède.

²⁰ The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of the LORD, was taken in their pits, of whom we said, Under his shadow we shall live among the heathen.

²¹ Yọ̀, ki inu rẹ si dùn, iwọ ọmọbinrin Edomu, ti ngbe inu ilẹ Usi; sibẹ ago na yio kọja sọdọ rẹ pẹlu: iwọ o si yo bi ọ̀muti, a o si tu ọ ni ihoho.

²¹ Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom, that dwellest in the land of Uz; the cup also shall pass through unto thee: thou shalt be drunken, and shalt make thyself naked.

²² A mu aiṣedede rẹ kuro, iwọ ọmọbinrin Sioni: on kì o si tun mu ọ lọ si igbekun mọ: On o bẹ̀ aiṣedede rẹ wò, iwọ ọmọbinrin Edomu; yio si fi ẹ̀ṣẹ rẹ hàn.

²² The punishment of thine iniquity is accomplished, O daughter of Zion; he will no more carry thee away into captivity: he will visit thine iniquity, O daughter of Edom; he will discover thy sins.
