Jeremiah 37
1 Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made Zedekiah son of Josiah the king of Judah, and he reigned in place of Coniah son of Jehoiakim.
Nebukadnezzar sarkin Babilon ya naɗa Zedekiya ɗan Yosiya sarkin Yahuda; ya yi mulki a madadin Yehohiyacin ɗan Yehohiyakim.
2 But he and his officers and the people of the land refused to obey the words that the LORD had spoken through Jeremiah the prophet.
Shi da masu yin masa hidima da mutanen ƙasar ba su kula da maganar da Ubangiji ya yi ta wurin Irmiya annabi ba.
3 Yet King Zedekiah sent Jehucal son of Shelemiah and Zephaniah the priest, the son of Maaseiah, to Jeremiah the prophet with the message, “Please pray to the LORD our God for us!”
Sai sarki Zedekiya ya aiki Yehukal ɗan Shelemiya tare da firist nan Zefaniya ɗan Ma’asehiya da wannan saƙo cewa, “Ina roƙonka ka yi addu’a ga Ubangiji Allahnmu saboda mu.”
4 Now Jeremiah was free to come and go among the people, for they had not yet put him in prison.
To, fa, Irmiya ya sami’yancin kai da kawowa a cikin mutane, gama ba a riga an sa shi a kurkuku ba.
5 Pharaoh’s army had left Egypt, and when the Chaldeans who were besieging Jerusalem heard the report, they withdrew from Jerusalem.
Sojojin Fir’auna suka fita daga Masar, sa’ad da Babiloniyawa waɗanda suke ƙawanya wa Urushalima suka ji labari game da su, sai suka janye daga Urushalima.
6 Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet:
Sai maganar Ubangiji ta zo wa Irmiya annabi cewa,
7 “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says that you are to tell the king of Judah, who sent you to Me: Behold, Pharaoh’s army, which has marched out to help you, will go back to its own land of Egypt.
“Ga abin da Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila, yana cewa ka faɗa wa sarkin Yahuda, wanda ya aika a neme ni cewa, ‘Sojojin Fir’aunan da suka fito su taimake ka, za su koma ƙasarsu, Masar.
8 Then the Chaldeans will return and fight against this city. They will capture it and burn it down.
Sa’an nan Babiloniyawa za su koma su yaƙi wannan birni su ci ta su kuma ƙone shi.’
9 This is what the LORD says: Do not deceive yourselves by saying, ‘The Chaldeans will go away for good,’ for they will not!
“Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, kada ku ruɗe kanku, kuna tsammani, ‘Tabbatacce Babiloniyawa sun bar mu.’ Ba za su bari ba!
10 Indeed, if you were to strike down the entire army of the Chaldeans that is fighting against you, and only wounded men remained in their tents, they would still get up and burn this city down.”
Ko da a ce za ku ci dukan sojojin Babiloniyawan da suke yaƙi da ku har raunana ne kawai aka bari a tentunansu, za su fito su ƙone wannan birni.”
11 When the Chaldean army withdrew from Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh’s army,
Bayan sojojin Babiloniyawa suka janye daga Urushalima saboda sojojin Fir’auna,
12 Jeremiah started to leave Jerusalem to go to the land of Benjamin to claim his portion there among the people.
sai Irmiya ya bar birnin don yă je yankin Benyamin ya sami rabon mallaka a cikin mutane a can.
13 But when he reached the Gate of Benjamin, the captain of the guard, whose name was Irijah son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah, seized him and said, “You are deserting to the Chaldeans!”
Amma sa’ad da ya kai Ƙofar Benyamin, sai hafsa mai tsaro, wanda ake kira Iriya ɗan Shelemiya, ɗan Hananiya, ya kama shi ya kuma ce, “Kana gudu daga Babiloniyawa ne!”
14 “That is a lie,” Jeremiah replied. “I am not deserting to the Chaldeans!” But Irijah would not listen to him; instead, he arrested Jeremiah and took him to the officials.
Sai Irmiya ya ce, “Ba gaskiya ba ce, ba na gudu daga Babiloniyawa.” Amma Iriya bai saurare shi ba; a maimako, ya kama Irmiya ya kawo shi wurin fadawa.
15 The officials were angry with Jeremiah, and they beat him and placed him in jail in the house of Jonathan the scribe, for it had been made into a prison.
Suka yi fushi da Irmiya suka sa aka yi masa dūka aka kuma jefa shi cikin kurkuku a gidan Yonatan magatakarda, gama an mai da gidansa ya zama kurkuku.
16 So Jeremiah went into a cell in the dungeon and remained there a long time.
Aka sa Irmiya a can cikin kurkuku, inda ya kasance kwanaki masu yawa.
17 Later, King Zedekiah sent for Jeremiah and received him in his palace, where he asked him privately, “Is there a word from the LORD?” “There is,” Jeremiah replied. “You will be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon.”
Sa’an nan Sarki Zedekiya ya aika a kawo shi aka kuma kawo shi fada, inda ya tambaye shi a kaɗaice ya ce, “Akwai wata magana daga Ubangiji?” Irmiya ya amsa ya ce, “I, za a ba da kai ga sarkin Babilon.”
18 Then Jeremiah asked King Zedekiah, “How have I sinned against you or your servants or these people, that you have put me in prison?
Sai Irmiya ya ce wa Sarki Zedekiya, “Wane laifi na yi maka ko fadawanka ko kuwa wannan mutane, da ka sa aka jefa ni cikin kurkuku?
19 Where are your prophets who prophesied to you, claiming, ‘The king of Babylon will not come against you or this land’?
Ina annabawanka waɗanda suka yi maka annabci suna cewa, ‘Sarkin Babilon ba zai yaƙe ka ko wannan ƙasa ba’?
20 But now please listen, O my lord the king. May my petition come before you. Do not send me back to the house of Jonathan the scribe, or I will die there.”
Amma yanzu, ranka yă daɗe, sarkina, ka saurara. Bari in kawo kukata a gabanka. Kada ka mai da ni gidan Yonatan magatakarda, in ba haka zan mutu a can.”
21 So King Zedekiah gave orders for Jeremiah to be placed in the courtyard of the guard and given a loaf of bread daily from the street of the bakers, until all the bread in the city was gone. So Jeremiah remained in the courtyard of the guard.
Sarki Zedekiya ya yi umarni a ajiye Irmiya a sansanin matsara a kuma ba shi burodi daga titin masu gashin burodi kowace rana sai duka burodi a birnin ya ƙare. Saboda haka Irmiya ya zauna a sansanin matsara.
