Jeremiah 5
1 Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broadways thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be [any] that doeth justice, that seeketh fidelity; and I will pardon it.
“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 And if they say, [As] Jehovah liveth! surely they swear falsely.
Ko da yake suna cewa, ‘Muddin Ubangiji yana raye,’ duk da haka suna rantsuwar ƙarya.”
3 Jehovah, are not thine eyes upon fidelity? Thou hast smitten them, but they are not sore; thou hast consumed them, they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to 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 And I said, Surely these are the wretched ones, they are foolish; for they know not the way of Jehovah, the judgment of their 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 unto the great men, and will speak unto them; for they know the way of Jehovah, the judgment of their God; but these have altogether broken the yoke, 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 a lion out of the forest shall slay them, a wolf of the evenings shall waste them; the leopard lurketh against their cities, every one that goeth out thence is torn in pieces: for their transgressions are multiplied, their backslidings are increased.
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 Wherefore should I pardon thee? Thy children have forsaken me, and swear by them that are not God. I have satiated them, and they have committed adultery, and they troop to the harlots' house.
“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 [As] well fed horses, they roam about, every one neigheth 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? saith Jehovah, 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 walls, and destroy; but make not a full end; take away her battlements, for they are not Jehovah'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 and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith Jehovah.
Gidan Isra’ila da gidan Yahuda sun zama marasa aminci gaba ɗaya gare ni” in ji Ubangiji.
12 They have denied Jehovah, and say, He is not; and evil shall not come upon us, nor shall we see sword nor 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 and the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done unto them.
Annabawa holoƙo ne kawai maganar kuwa ba ta cikinsu; saboda haka bari abin da suke faɗi ya koma kansu.”
14 Therefore thus saith Jehovah, the God of hosts: Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy 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 bring a nation upon you from afar, house of Israel, saith Jehovah: it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest thou what they say.
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 Their quiver is as an open sepulchre; they are all mighty men.
Kwarinsu kamar buɗaɗɗen kabari ne; dukansu jarumawa ne.
17 And they shall eat up thy harvest and thy bread, they shall eat up thy sons and thy daughters, they shall eat up thy flocks and thy herds, they shall eat up thy vines and thy fig-trees; they shall destroy with the sword thy strong cities, wherein thou trustedst.
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 Nevertheless in those days, saith Jehovah, I will not make a full end with 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 ye shall say, Wherefore hath Jehovah our God done all these things unto us? then shalt thou say to them, As ye have forsaken me, and served strange gods in your land, so shall ye 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 Declare this in the house of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying,
“Ka sanar da wannan ga gidan Yaƙub ka yi shelarsa a Yahuda.
21 Hear now this, O foolish and heartless people, who have eyes and see not; who 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 ye not fear me? saith Jehovah. Will ye not tremble at my presence, who have set the sand a bound for the sea by a perpetual decree, and it shall not pass it? and its waves toss themselves, but they do not prevail; and they roar, yet can they 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 hath a stubborn and a rebellious heart; they have turned aside and are gone.
Amma mutanen nan suna da tauraren zukata, kuma’yan tawaye ne; sun kauce suka kuma rabu da ni.
24 And they say not in their heart, Let us now fear Jehovah our God, that giveth rain, both the early and the latter, in its season; who preserveth unto us the appointed weeks of harvest.
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 iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden from you what is good.
Laifofinku sun raba ku da waɗannan abubuwa; zunubanku sun hana ku samun alheri.
26 For among my people are found wicked [men]: they lay wait, as fowlers stoop down; they set a trap, they catch men.
“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 cage full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and have enriched themselves.
Kamar keji cike da tsuntsaye, gidajensu sun cika da ruɗu; sun yi arziki suka kuma zama masu iko
28 They are become fat, they shine, yea, they surpass in deeds of wickedness; they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, and they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not adjudge.
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? saith Jehovah; 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 An appalling and horrible thing is committed in the land:
“Abin banmamaki da bantsoro ya faru a ƙasar.
31 the prophets prophesy falsehood, and the priests rule by their means; and my people love [to have it] so. But what will ye do in the end thereof?
Annabawa suna annabcin ƙarya, firistoci suna mulki da ikon kansu, mutanena kuma suna son haka. Amma me za ku yi a ƙarshe?
