Jeremiah 38
1 And Shephatiah the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah the son of Pashhur, and Jucal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur the son of Malchijah, heard the words that Jeremiah spoke to all the people, saying,
Shefatiya ɗan Mattan, Gedaliya ɗan Fashhur, Yukal ɗan Shelemiya da Fashhur ɗan Malkiya ya ji abin da Irmiya yana faɗa wa dukan mutane sa’ad da ya ce,
2 Thus says Jehovah: He who abides in this city shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, but he who goes forth to the Chaldeans shall live, and his life shall be to him for a prey, and he shall live.
“Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, ‘Duk wanda ya zauna a wannan birni zai mutu ta takobi, yunwa ko annoba, amma duk wanda ya je wurin Babiloniyawa zai rayu. Zai tsira da ransa, ya rayu.’
3 Thus says Jehovah: This city shall surely be given into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it.
Kuma ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, ‘Tabbatacce za a ba da wannan birni ga sojojin sarkin Babilon, wanda zai ci shi.’”
4 Then the rulers said to the king, Let this man, we pray thee, be put to death, inasmuch as he weakens the hands of the men of war who remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such words to them. For this man seeks not the welfare of this people, but the hurt.
Sai fadawa suka ce wa sarki, “Ya kamata a kashe wannan mutum. Yana karya zuciyar sojojin da suka ragu a birnin, da zuciyar sauran mutane, ta wurin abubuwan da yake faɗa musu. Wannan mutum ba ya neman jin daɗin zaman wannan sai dai wahala.”
5 And Zedekiah the king said, Behold, he is in your hand, for the king is not he who can do anything against you.
“Yana a hannuwanku” Sarki Zedekiya ya amsa. “Sarki ba zai iya yin kome ya hana ku ba.”
6 Then they took Jeremiah, and cast him into the dungeon of Malchijah the king's son, that was in the court of the guard. And they let Jeremiah down with cords. And in the dungeon there was no water, but mire, and Jeremiah sank in the mire.
Saboda haka suka kama Irmiya suka sa a rijiyar da ba ruwa a ciki ta Malkiya, ɗan sarki, wadda take a sansanin matsara. Suka saukar da Irmiya cikin rijiyar da ba ruwa da igiya; babu ruwa a cikinta, sai laka, Irmiya ya nutse cikin laka.
7 Now when Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, a eunuch, who was in the king's house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon (the king then sitting in the gate of Benjamin),
Amma Ebed-Melek mutumin Kush, wani hafsa a fada, ya ji cewa sun sa Irmiya a rijiyar da ba ruwa. Yayinda sarki yana zama a Ƙofar Benyamin,
8 Ebed-melech went forth out of the king's house, and spoke to the king, saying,
Ebed-Melek ya fita daga fadar ya ce masa,
9 My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet whom they have cast into the dungeon. And he is likely to die in the place where he is because of the famine, for there is no more bread in the city.
“Ranka yă daɗe sarki, waɗannan mutane sun yi mugun abu a duk abin da suka yi wa Irmiya annabi. Sun jefa shi cikin rijiyar da ba ruwa, inda zai mutu da yunwa gama ba sauran wani burodi a birnin.”
10 Then the king commanded Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Take from here thirty men with thee, and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon before he dies.
Sai sarki ya umarce Ebed-Melek mutumin Kush, “Ka ɗauko mutane talatin daga nan ku fid da Irmiya annabi daga rijiyar kafin ya mutu.”
11 So Ebed-melech took the men with him, and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took from there rags and worn-out garments, and let them down by cords into the dungeon to Jeremiah.
Saboda haka Ebed-Melek ya ɗauki mutane tare da shi suka shiga ɗaki a ƙarƙashin baitulmali a cikin fada. Ya ɗauko waɗansu tsofaffin tsummoki da tsofaffi riguna daga can ya kuma zurara su da igiya wa Irmiya a cikin rijiyar.
12 And Ebed-melech the Ethiopian said to Jeremiah, Now put these rags and worn-out garments under thine armpits under the cords. And Jeremiah did so.
Ebed-Melek mutumin Kush ya ce wa Irmiya, “Ka sa waɗannan tsummoki da tsofaffin rigunan a hammatarka, ya zarga igiya.” Irmiya ya yi haka,
13 So they drew up Jeremiah with the cords, and took him up out of the dungeon. And Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.
suka kuma ja shi sama da igiya suka fid da shi daga rijiyar. Irmiya kuwa ya zauna a sansanin matsara.
14 Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took Jeremiah the prophet to him into the third entry that is in the house of Jehovah. And the king said to Jeremiah, I will ask thee a thing; hide nothing from me.
Sai Sarki Zedekiya ya aika a kawo Irmiya annabi, ya sa aka kawo shi a ƙofa ta uku ta haikalin Ubangiji. Sai sarki ya ce wa Irmiya, “Zan tambaye ka wani abu, kada ka ɓoye mini wani abu.”
15 Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, If I declare it to thee, will thou not surely put me to death? And if I give thee counsel, thou will not hearken to me.
Irmiya ya ce wa Zedekiya, “In na ba ka amsa, ba za ka kashe ni ba? Ko da na ba ka shawara, ba za ka saurare ni ba.”
16 So Zedekiah the king swore secretly to Jeremiah, saying, As Jehovah lives, who made us this soul, I will not put thee to death, nor will I give thee into the hand of these men who seek thy life.
Amma Sarki Zedekiya ya yi wannan rantsuwa a kaɗaice ga Irmiya cewa, “Muddin Ubangiji yana a raye, wanda ya ba mu numfashi, ba zan kashe ka ko in ba da kai ga waɗanda suke neman ranka ba.”
17 Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, Thus says Jehovah, the God of hosts, the God of Israel. If thou will go forth to the king of Babylon's rulers, then thy soul shall live, and this city shall not be burned with fire, and thou shall live, and thy house.
Sa’an nan Irmiya ya ce wa Zedekiya, “Ga abin da Ubangiji Allah Maɗaukaki, Allah na Isra’ila, yana cewa, ‘In ka miƙa wuya ga hafsoshin sarkin Babilon, za a bar ka da rai ba za a kuma ƙone wannan birni ba; da kai da iyalinka za ku rayu.
18 But if thou will not go forth to the king of Babylon's rulers, then this city shall be given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire, and thou shall not escape out of their hand.
Amma in ba ka miƙa wuya ga hafsoshin sarkin Babilon ba, za a ba da wannan birni ga Babiloniyawa za su kuma cinna mata wuta; kai kanka ba za ka tsira daga hannuwansu ba.’”
19 And Zedekiah the king said to Jeremiah, I am afraid of the Jews who have fallen away to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me into their hand, and they abuse me.
Sarki Zedekiya ya ce wa Irmiya, “Ina jin tsoron Yahudawan da suka tafi wurin Babiloniyawa, gama Babiloniyawa mai yiwuwa su ba da ni gare su su kuma wulaƙanta ni.”
20 But Jeremiah said, They shall not deliver thee. Obey, I beseech thee, the voice of Jehovah, in that which I speak to thee, so it shall be well with thee, and thy soul shall live.
Irmiya ya ce, “Ba za su ba da kai ba, ka yi biyayya ga Ubangiji ta wurin yin abin da na faɗa maka. Ta haka zai zama maka da amfani, za ka kuwa rayu.
21 But if thou refuse to go forth, this is the word that Jehovah has shown me:
Amma in ka ƙi miƙa wuya, ga abin da Ubangiji ya bayyana mini.
22 Behold, all the women who are left in the king of Judah's house shall be brought forth to the king of Babylon's rulers. And those women shall say, Thy familiar friends have set upon thee, and have prevailed over thee. Since thy feet are sunk in the mire, they have turned back away.
Za a fitar da dukan matan da suka ragu a fadan sarkin Yahuda wa hafsoshin sarkin Babilon. Waɗannan mata za su ce maka, “‘Sun ruɗe ka suka kuma rinjaye ka, waɗannan abokanka. Ƙafafunka sun nutse a cikin laka; abokanka sun yashe ka.’
23 And they shall bring out all thy wives and thy sons to the Chaldeans. And thou shall not escape out of their hand, but shall be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon. And thou shall cause this city to be burned with fire.
“Za a kawo dukan matanka da’ya’yanka wa Babiloniyawa. Kai kanka ba za ka tsira daga hannuwansu ba amma za su sa sarkin Babilon zai kama ka; za a kuma ƙone wannan birni.”
24 Then Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, Let no man know of these words, and thou shall not die.
Sai Zedekiya ya ce wa Irmiya, “Kada ka bar wani ya san wannan zance, in ba haka ba za ka mutu.
25 But if the rulers hear that I have talked with thee, and they come to thee, and say to thee, Declare to us now what thou have said to the king, hide it not from us, and we will not put thee to death, also what the king said to thee,
In fadawa suka ji cewa na yi magana da kai, suka kuma zo wurinka suka ce, ‘Faɗa mana abin da ka faɗa wa sarki da kuma abin da sarki ya faɗa maka; kada ka ɓoye mana, in ba haka za mu kashe ka,’
26 then thou shall say to them, I presented my supplication before the king, that he would not cause me to return to Jonathan's house to die there.
sai ka ce musu cewa, ‘Na roƙi sarki kada yă mai da ni gidan Yonatan in mutu a can.’”
27 Then all the rulers came to Jeremiah, and asked him. And he told them according to all these words that the king had commanded. So they left off speaking with him, for the matter was not perceived.
Dukan fadawa kuwa suka zo wurin Irmiya suka tambaye shi, ya kuma faɗa musu dukan abin da sarki ya umarce shi ya faɗa. Saboda haka ba su ƙara ce masa kome ba, gama ba wanda ya ji zance da suka yi da sarki.
28 So Jeremiah abode in the court of the guard until the day that Jerusalem was taken.
Irmiya kuwa ya zauna a sansanin masu gadi har ranar da aka ci Urushalima da yaƙi. Ga yadda aka ci Urushalima,
