< Jeremiah 3 >

1 “If a man divorces his wife and she leaves him to marry another, can he ever return to her? Would not such a land be completely defiled? But you have played the harlot with many lovers— and you would return to Me?”
“In mutum ya saki matarsa ta kuwa bar shi ta auri wani mutum, zai iya komo da ita kuma? Ƙasar ba za tă ƙazantu gaba ɗaya ba? Amma kun yi rayuwa kamar karuwa da masoya masu yawa yanzu za ki komo wurina?” In ji Ubangiji.
2 “Lift up your eyes to the barren heights and see. Is there any place where you have not been violated? You sat beside the highways waiting for your lovers, like a nomad in the desert. You have defiled the land with your prostitution and wickedness.
“Ta da idanu ki duba tsaunuka ki gani. Akwai wani wurin da ba a kwana da ke ba? A gefen hanya kin zauna kina jiran masoyanki, kin zauna kamar makiyayi a hamada. Kin ƙazantar da ƙasar da karuwancinki da muguntarki.
3 Therefore the showers have been withheld, and no spring rains have fallen. Yet you have the brazen look of a prostitute; you refuse to be ashamed.
Saboda haka an hana yayyafi, kuma babu ruwan bazara da ya sauka. Duk da haka kina da irin kallon da karuwa takan yi; kin ƙi ki ji kunya.
4 Have you not just called to Me, ‘My Father, You are my friend from youth.
Yanzu ba kin kira ni, ‘Mahaifina, abokina daga ƙuruciyata ba,
5 Will He be angry forever? Will He be indignant to the end?’ This you have spoken, but you keep doing all the evil you can.”
kullum za ka riƙa fushi? Hasalarka za tă ci gaba har abada ne?’ Haka kike magana, amma kina aikata dukan muguntar da kika iya yi.”
6 Now in the days of King Josiah, the LORD said to me, “Have you seen what faithless Israel has done? She has gone up on every high hill and under every green tree to prostitute herself there.
A zamanin Sarki Yosiya, Ubangiji ya ce mini, “Ka ga abin da marar amincin nan, Isra’ila ta yi? Ta haura kan kowane tudu mai tsayi da kowane gindin itace mai duhuwa ta yi zina a can.
7 I thought that after she had done all these things, she would return to Me. But she did not return, and her unfaithful sister Judah saw it.
Na yi zaton bayan ta yi wannan duka, za tă komo wurina amma ba tă yi haka ba,’yar’uwarta marar aminci nan Yahuda ta gani.
8 She saw that because faithless Israel had committed adultery, I gave her a certificate of divorce and sent her away. Yet that unfaithful sister Judah had no fear and prostituted herself as well.
Na ba wa Isra’ila marar bangaskiya takardar saki na kuwa kore ta saboda duk zinanta. Duk da haka na ga cewa’yar’uwarta marar amincin nan Yahuda ba ta da tsoro; ita ma ta fita ta yi zina.
9 Indifferent to her own infidelity, Israel had defiled the land and committed adultery with stones and trees.
Domin fasikancin Isra’ila bai yi tasiri gare ta ba, sai ta ƙazantar da ƙasar ta kuma yi zina da dutse da kuma itace.
10 Yet in spite of all this, her unfaithful sister Judah did not return to Me with all her heart, but only in pretense,” declares the LORD.
Duk da wannan duka, Yahuda’yar’uwarta rashin amincin ba tă komo gare ni da dukan zuciyarta ba, sai a munafunce,” in ji Ubangiji.
11 And the LORD said to me, “Faithless Israel has shown herself more righteous than unfaithful Judah.
Ubangiji ya ce mini, “Isra’ila marar bangaskiya ta fi Yahuda marar aminci.
12 Go, proclaim this message toward the north: ‘Return, O faithless Israel,’ declares the LORD. ‘I will no longer look on you with anger, for I am merciful,’ declares the LORD. ‘I will not be angry forever.
Ka tafi, ka yi shelar saƙon nan wajen arewa cewa, “‘Ki komo, Isra’ila marar bangaskiya,’ in ji Ubangiji, ‘Ba zan ƙara yin fushi da ke ba, gama ni mai jinƙai ne,’ in ji Ubangiji, ‘Ba zan yi fushi da ke har abada ba.
13 Only acknowledge your guilt, that you have rebelled against the LORD your God. You have scattered your favors to foreign gods under every green tree and have not obeyed My voice,’”
Ki dai yarda da laifinki kin yi wa Ubangiji Allahnki tawaye, kin watsar da alheranki ga baƙin alloli a ƙarƙashin kowane itace mai duhuwa, ba ki kuwa yi mini biyayya ba,’” in ji Ubangiji.
14 “Return, O faithless children,” declares the LORD, “for I am your master, and I will take you—one from a city and two from a family—and bring you to Zion.
“Ku komo, ku mutane marasa bangaskiya,” in ji Ubangiji, “gama ni ne mijinku. Zan ɗauke ku, ɗaya daga garuruwanku da kuma biyu daga zuriyarku in kawo ku a Sihiyona.
15 Then I will give you shepherds after My own heart, who will feed you with knowledge and understanding.”
Sa’an nan zan ba ku makiyaya da suke yin abin da zuciyata take so, waɗanda za su bishe ku da sani da kuma fahimi.
16 “In those days, when you multiply and increase in the land,” declares the LORD, “they will no longer discuss the ark of the covenant of the LORD. It will never come to mind, and no one will remember it or miss it, nor will another one be made.
A kwanakin, sa’ad da kuka ƙaru sosai a ƙasar,” in ji Ubangiji, “mutane ba za su ƙara yin magana a kan, ‘Akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji ba.’ Ba zai ƙara shiga zuciyarsu ko su tuna ba; ko su bukace shi, ko kuwa su yi wani irinsa ba.
17 At that time Jerusalem will be called The Throne of the LORD, and all the nations will be gathered in Jerusalem to honor the name of the LORD. They will no longer follow the stubbornness of their evil hearts.
A lokacin za su ce da Urushalima Kursiyin Ubangiji, kuma dukan al’ummai za su taru a Urushalima don su girmama sunan Ubangiji. Ba za su ƙara bin taurinkai zuciyarsu mai mugunta ba.
18 In those days the house of Judah will walk with the house of Israel, and they will come together from the land of the north to the land that I gave to your fathers as an inheritance.
A kwanakin gidan Yahuda zai haɗu da gidan Isra’ila, tare kuma za su zo daga ƙasar da take wajen arewa zuwa ƙasar da na ba kakanninsu gādo.
19 Then I said, ‘How I long to make you My sons and give you a desirable land, the most beautiful inheritance of all the nations!’ I thought you would call Me ‘Father’ and never turn away from following Me.
“Ni kaina na faɗa, “‘Da farin ciki zan ɗauke ki kamar’ya’yana maza in ba ki ƙasa mai daɗi, gādo mafi kyau da wata al’umma.’ Na zaci za ki kira ni ‘Mahaifi’ ba za ki ƙara rabuwa da bina ba.
20 But as a woman may betray her husband, so you have betrayed Me, O house of Israel,”
Amma kamar mace marar aminci ga mijinta, haka kika kasance marar aminci gare ni, ya gidan Isra’ila,” in ji Ubangiji.
21 A voice is heard on the barren heights, the children of Israel weeping and begging for mercy, because they have perverted their ways and forgotten the LORD their God.
An ji kuka a filayen tuddai, kuka da roƙon mutanen Isra’ila, domin sun lalace hanyoyinsu sun kuma manta da Ubangiji Allahnsu.
22 “Return, O faithless children, and I will heal your faithlessness.” “Here we are. We come to You, for You are the LORD our God.
“Ku komo, mutane marasa bangaskiya; zan warkar da ku daga ja da bayanku.” “I, za mu zo wurinka, gama kai ne Ubangiji Allahnmu.
23 Surely deception comes from the hills, and commotion from the mountains. Surely the salvation of Israel is in the LORD our God.
Tabbatacce hayaniyar bin gumaka a kan tuddai da duwatsu banza ne; tabbatacce a wurin Ubangiji Allahnmu ne akwai ceton Isra’ila.
24 From our youth, that shameful god has consumed what our fathers have worked for— their flocks and herds, their sons and daughters.
Daga ƙuruciyarmu allolin kunya sun cinye mu amfanin wahalar kakanninmu garkunan tumakinsu da na awakinsu, yaransu maza da mata.
25 Let us lie down in our shame; let our disgrace cover us. We have sinned against the LORD our God, both we and our fathers; from our youth even to this day we have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God.”
Bari mu kwanta mu sha kunya, bari kuma kunyarmu ta rufe mu. Mun yi wa Ubangiji Allahnmu zunubi, da mu da kakanninmu; daga ƙuruciyarmu har yă zuwa yau ba mu yi wa Ubangiji Allahnmu biyayya ba.”
