There are not any versions of Certbot that will work on Ubuntu 14.04, sorry. That version of Ubuntu has been end-of-life for over 2 years now and you need will to upgrade to a version of your operating system that is still maintained by Canonical.

If you are looking for a way to get a certificate, consider some of the [other client options](https://letsencrypt.org/docs/client-options/) that are available. [acme.sh](https://github.com/Neilpang/acme.sh) might be a good choice to try.
