Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all ye inhabitants of the land. Hath this been in your days, or even in the days of your fathers?

Awake, ye drunkards, and weep; and howl, all ye drinkers of wine, because of the new wine; for it is cut off from your mouth.

For a nation is come up upon my land, strong, and without number, whose teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he hath the cheek teeth of a great lion.

He hath laid my vine waste, and barked my fig tree: he hath made it clean bare, and cast it away; the branches thereof are made white.

The meat offering and the drink offering is cut off from the house of the LORD; the priests, the LORD'S ministers, mourn.

The field is wasted, the land mourneth; for the corn is wasted: the new wine is dried up, the oil languisheth.
[11]Ki oju ki o tì nyin, ẹnyin agbẹ̀; ẹ hu, ẹnyin olùtọju àjara, nitori alikamà ati nitori ọkà barli; nitori ikorè oko ṣègbe.
Be ye ashamed, O ye husbandmen; howl, O ye vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley; because the harvest of the field is perished.

The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languisheth; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, even all the trees of the field, are withered: because joy is withered away from the sons of men.
[13]Ẹ dì ara nyin li amùre, si pohùnrére ẹkún ẹnyin alufa: ẹ hu, ẹnyin iranṣẹ pẹpẹ: ẹ wá, fi gbogbo oru dùbulẹ ninu aṣọ-ọ̀fọ, ẹnyin iranṣẹ Ọlọrun mi: nitori ti a dá ọrẹ-jijẹ, ati ọrẹ-mimu duro ni ile Ọlọrun nyin.
Gird yourselves, and lament, ye priests: howl, ye ministers of the altar: come, lie all night in sackcloth, ye ministers of my God: for the meat offering and the drink offering is withholden from the house of your God.

Sanctify ye a fast, call a solemn assembly, gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of the LORD your God, and cry unto the LORD,
[15]A! fun ọjọ na, nitori ọjọ Oluwa kù si dẹ̀dẹ, ati bi iparun lati ọwọ́ Olodumare ni yio de.
Alas for the day! for the day of the LORD is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come.

Is not the meat cut off before our eyes, yea, joy and gladness from the house of our God?

How do the beasts groan! the herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no pasture; yea, the flocks of sheep are made desolate.

O LORD, to thee will I cry: for the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame hath burned all the trees of the field.

The beasts of the field cry also unto thee: for the rivers of waters are dried up, and the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness.
