Jeremias 5
1 Run you about in the streets of Jerusalem, and see, and know, and seek in her broad places, if you can find [one], if there is any one that does judgement, and seeks faithfulness; and I will pardon them, says the Lord.
“Ku yi ta kai da kawowa a titunan Urushalima, ku dudduba ko’ina ku kuma lura, ku bincika cikin dandalinta. Ko za ku sami mutum guda wanda yake aikata adalci wanda yake kuma son bin gaskiya, sai in gafarta wa wannan birni.
2 The Lord lives, they say; do they not therefore swear falsely?
Ko da yake suna cewa, ‘Muddin Ubangiji yana raye,’ duk da haka suna rantsuwar ƙarya.”
3 O Lord, your eyes are upon faithfulness: you have scourged them, but they have not grieved; you have consumed them; but they would not receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; and they would not return.
Ya Ubangiji, idanunka ba sa ganin gaskiya? Ka buge su, amma ba su ji zafi ba; ka ragargaza su, amma suka ƙi su gyara. Fuskarsu ta ƙeƙashe fiye da dutse suka ƙi su tuba.
4 Then I said, It may be they are poor; for they are weak, for they know not the way of the Lord, or the judgement of God.
Na yi tunani, “Waɗannan ne kawai matalauta; su wawaye ne, gama ba su san hanyar Ubangiji ba, ko abubuwan da Allahnsu yake bukata ba.
5 I will go to the rich men, and will speak to them; for they have known the way of the Lord, and the judgement of God: but, behold, with one consent they have broken the yoke, they have burst the bonds.
Saboda haka zan tafi wurin shugabanni in yi musu magana; tabbatacce sun san hanyar Ubangiji, da abubuwan da Allahnsu yake bukata.” Amma da nufi guda su ma suka karye karkiyar suka tsintsinke sarƙoƙin.
6 Therefore has a lion out of the forest struck them, and a wolf has destroyed them even to [their] houses, and a leopard has watched against their cities: all that go forth from them shall be hunted: for they have multiplied their ungodliness, they have strengthened themselves in their revoltings.
Saboda haka zaki daga kurmi zai fāɗa musu, kyarkeci kuma daga hamada zai cinye su, damisa za tă yi musu ƙawanya kusa da garuruwansu yă yayyage duk wanda ya kuskura ya fita, gama tawayensu da girma yake jan bayansu kuma yana da yawa.
7 In what [way] shall I forgive you for these things? Your sons have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: and I fed them to the full, and they committed adultery, and lodged in harlots' houses.
“Me zai sa in gafarta muku?’Ya’yanku sun yashe ni sun yi rantsuwa da allolin da ba alloli ba ne. Na biya musu dukan bukatunsu, duk da haka suka yi zina suka tattaru a gidajen karuwai.
8 They became as wanton horses: they neighed each one after his neighbour's wife.
An ciyar da su sosai, kamar ƙosassun ingarmu, masu jaraba, kowanne yana haniniya, yana neman matar maƙwabcinsa.
9 Shall I not visit for these things? says the Lord: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this.
Ba zan hukunta su saboda wannan ba?” In ji Ubangiji. “Bai kamata in yi ramuwa a kan irin al’ummar nan ba?
10 Go up upon her battlements, and break [them] down; but make not a full end: leave her buttresses: for they are the Lord's.
“Ku ratsa cikin gonakin inabinta ku cinye su, amma kada ku hallaka su gaba ɗaya. Ku kakkaɓe rassanta, gama waɗannan mutane ba na Ubangiji ba ne.
11 For the house of Israel have indeed dealt treacherously against me, says the Lord: the house of Juda also
Gidan Isra’ila da gidan Yahuda sun zama marasa aminci gaba ɗaya gare ni” in ji Ubangiji.
12 have lied to their Lord, and they have said, These things are not so; no evils shall come upon us; and we shall not see sword or famine.
Sun yi ƙarya a kan Ubangiji; sun ce, “Ba zai yi kome ba! Ba wata masifar da za tă same mu; ba za mu taɓa ganin takobi ko yunwa ba.
13 Our prophets became wind, and the word of the Lord was not in them.
Annabawa holoƙo ne kawai maganar kuwa ba ta cikinsu; saboda haka bari abin da suke faɗi ya koma kansu.”
14 Therefore thus says the Lord Almighty, Because you have spoken this word, behold, I have made my words in your mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.
Saboda haka ga abin Ubangiji Allah Maɗaukaki yana cewa, “Domin mutanen sun yi waɗannan maganganu, zan mai da maganata a bakinku wuta waɗannan mutane kuwa su zama itacen da za tă ci.
15 Behold, I [will] bring upon you a nation from far, O house of Israel, says the Lord; a nation the sound of whose language one shall not understand.
Ya gidan Isra’ila,” in ji Ubangiji, “Ina kawo al’umma daga nesa a kanku al’umma ce ta tun dā mai ƙarfin hali, mutane ne da ba ku san harshensu ba, waɗanda ba za ku fahimci abin da suke faɗa ba.
16 [They are] all mighty men:
Kwarinsu kamar buɗaɗɗen kabari ne; dukansu jarumawa ne.
17 and they shall devour your harvest, and your bread; and shall devour your sons, and your daughters; and they shall devour your sheep, and your calves, and devour your vineyards, and your fig-plantations, and your olive yards: and they shall utterly destroy your strong cities, wherein you trusted, with the sword.
Za su cinye amfanin gonakinku da abincinku, za su cinye’ya’yanku maza da mata; za su cinye garkunan tumakinku da na awakinku, za su cinye’ya’yan inabinku da na ɓaurenku. Da takobi za su hallaka biranenku masu katanga.
18 And it shall come to pass in those days, says the Lord your God, that I will not utterly destroy you.
“Amma ko a cikin waɗancan kwanaki,” in ji Ubangiji, “ba zan hallaka ku gaba ɗaya ba.
19 And it shall come to pass, when you shall say, Therefore has the Lord our God done all these things to us? that you shall say to them, Because you served strange gods in your land, so shall you serve strangers in a land that is not yours.
Sa’ad da kuma mutanen suka yi tambaya, ‘Me ya sa Ubangiji Allahnmu ya yi dukan wannan gare mu?’ Sai ka amsa musu, ‘Yadda kuka yashe ni kuka kuma bauta wa baƙin alloli a ƙasarku, haka yanzu za ku bauta wa baƙi a ƙasar da ba taku ba.’
20 Proclaim these things to the house of Jacob, and let them be heard in the house of Juda.
“Ka sanar da wannan ga gidan Yaƙub ka yi shelarsa a Yahuda.
21 Hear you now these things, O foolish and senseless people; who have eyes, and see not; and have ears, and hear not:
Ku ji wannan, ku wawaye marasa azanci, waɗanda suke da idanu amma ba sa gani, waɗanda suke da kunnuwa amma ba sa ji.
22 will you not be afraid of me? says the Lord; and will you not fear before me, who have set the sand for a bound to the sea, [as] a perpetual ordinance, and it shall not pass it: yes, it shall rage, but not prevail; and its waves shall roar, but not pass over it.
Bai kamata ku ji tsorona ba?” In ji Ubangiji. “Bai kamata ku yi rawar jiki a gabana ba? Na sa yashi ya zama iyakar teku, madawwamiyar iyakar da ba zai tsallake ba. Raƙuman ruwa za su iya yin hauka, amma ba za su iya haye ta ba; za su iya yin ruri, amma ba za su iya ƙetare ta ba.
23 But this people has a disobedient and rebellious heart; and they have turned aside and gone back:
Amma mutanen nan suna da tauraren zukata, kuma’yan tawaye ne; sun kauce suka kuma rabu da ni.
24 and they have not said in their heart, Let us fear now the Lord our God, who gives us the early and latter rain, according to the season of the fulfilment of the ordinance of harvest, and has preserved [it] for us.
Ba sa faɗa wa kansu, ‘Bari mu ji tsoron Ubangiji Allahnmu, wanda yake ba mu ruwan sama a kan kari na kaka da na bazara, wanda kullum yake tabbatar mana da girbi.’
25 Your transgressions have turned away these things, and your sins have removed good things from you.
Laifofinku sun raba ku da waɗannan abubuwa; zunubanku sun hana ku samun alheri.
26 For amongst my people were found ungodly men; and they have set snares to destroy men, and have caught [them].
“A cikin mutanena an sami mugaye waɗanda suke kwanton ɓauna kamar masu sa tarko wa tsuntsaye kamar waɗanda suke kafa tarko don su kama mutane.
27 As a snare which has been set is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore have they grown great, and become rich:
Kamar keji cike da tsuntsaye, gidajensu sun cika da ruɗu; sun yi arziki suka kuma zama masu iko
28 and they have transgressed [the rule of] judgement; they have not judged the cause of the orphan, nor have they judged the cause of the widow.
suka kuma yi ƙiba, suka yi bul-bul. Mugayen ayyukansu ba su da iyaka; ba sa wa marayu shari’ar adalci, ba sa kāre’yancin matalauta.
29 Shall I not visit for these things? says the Lord: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
Bai kamata in hukunta su saboda wannan ba?” In ji Ubangiji. “Bai kamata in yi ramuwa a kan irin al’umma kamar wannan ba?
30 Shocking and horrible deeds have been done on the land;
“Abin banmamaki da bantsoro ya faru a ƙasar.
31 the prophets utter unrighteous prophecies, and the priests have clapped their hands: and my people has loved [to have it] thus: and what will you do for the future.
Annabawa suna annabcin ƙarya, firistoci suna mulki da ikon kansu, mutanena kuma suna son haka. Amma me za ku yi a ƙarshe?
