< Jeremiah 6 >

1 Flee for safety, ye children of Benjamin, out of the midst of Jerusalem, and blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and set up a signal in Beth-haccerem; for evil appeareth out of the north, and a great destruction.
“Ku gudu neman mafaka, mutanen Benyamin! Ku gudu daga Urushalima! Ku busa ƙaho a Tekowa! Ku ba da alama a Bet-Hakkerem! Gama masifa tana zuwa daga arewa, mummunar hallaka ce kuwa.
2 The comely and delicate one do I cut off, the daughter of Zion.
Zan hallaka Diyar Sihiyona, kyakkyawa da kuma mai laulayi.
3 Shepherds with their flocks shall come unto her; they shall pitch [their] tents against her round about; they shall feed every one in his place.
Makiyaya da garkunansu za su taso mata; za su kafa tentunansu kewaye da ita, kowanne yana lura da sashensa.”
4 Prepare war against her. Arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe unto us! for the day hath declined, for the shadows of the evening are lengthening.
“Mu shirya don yaƙi da ita! Ku tashi, bari mu fāɗa mata da tsakar rana! Amma, kaito, rana tana fāɗuwa, inuwar yamma kuwa sai ƙaran tsawo take.
5 Arise, and let us go up by night, and let us destroy her palaces.
Saboda haka ku tashi, bari mu fāɗa mata da dare mu rurrushe kagaranta!”
6 For thus hath Jehovah of hosts said: Hew ye down trees, and cast a mound against Jerusalem. She is the city to be visited; she is wholly oppression in the midst of her.
Ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki yana cewa, “Ku sassare itatuwan ku tula ƙasa kewaye da Urushalima. Dole a hukunta wannan birni; saboda ya cika da zalunci.
7 As a well poureth forth her waters, so she poureth forth her wickedness: violence and destruction are heard in her; before me continually are grief and wounds.
Kamar yadda rijiya takan ba da ruwarta, haka birnin yake da muguntarsa. Ana jin labarin rikici da hallaka a cikinsa; ciwonsa da mikinsa kullum suna a gabana.
8 Be thou instructed, Jerusalem, lest my soul be alienated from thee; lest I make thee a desolation, a land not inhabited.
Ki ji gargaɗi, ya Urushalima, ko kuwa in juya daga gare ki in mai da ƙasarki kufai don kada wani ya zauna a cikinta.”
9 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: They shall thoroughly glean like a vine the remnant of Israel: turn back thy hand, as a grape-gatherer unto the baskets.
Ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki yana cewa, “Bari su yi kalan raguwar Isra’ila a yi kalan sarai yadda ake yi wa inabi; ka sāke miƙa hannunka a kan rassan, kamar mai tattara inabi.”
10 To whom shall I speak and testify, that they may hear? Behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold, the word of Jehovah is unto them a reproach; they have no delight in it.
Ga wa zan yi magana in kuma gargaɗar? Wa zai saurare ni? Kunnuwansu sun toshe don kada su ji. Maganar Ubangiji ta zama abin zargi a gare su; ba sa jin daɗinta.
11 And I am full of the fury of Jehovah, I am weary with holding in. Pour it out upon the children in the street, and upon the assembly of young men together: for even the husband with the wife shall be taken; the aged with him [that is] full of days.
Amma ina cike da fushin Ubangiji, kuma ba na iya kannewa. “Ka kwararo shi a kan yara a titi da kuma a kan samarin da suka tattaru; za a kama miji da mata a cikinsa, tsofaffi da suka tsufa tukub.
12 And their houses shall be turned unto others, [their] fields and wives together; for I will stretch out my hand upon the inhabitants of the land, saith Jehovah.
Za a ba da gidajensu ga waɗansu, tare da gonakinsu da matansu, sa’ad da na miƙa hannuna gāba da waɗanda suke zama a ƙasar,” in ji Ubangiji.
13 For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them, every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest, every one dealeth falsely.
“Daga ƙarami zuwa babba, dukansu masu haɗama ne don riba; har da annabawa da firistoci, dukansu suna aikata rashin gaskiya.
14 And they have healed the breach of the daughter of my people lightly, saying, Peace, peace! when there is no peace.
Sukan ɗaura mikin mutanena sai ka ce mikin ba shi da matsala. Suna cewa, ‘Lafiya, Lafiya,’ alhali kuwa ba lafiya.
15 Are they ashamed that they have committed abomination? Nay, they are not at all ashamed, neither know they what it is to blush. Therefore they shall fall among them that fall; at the time that I visit them they shall stumble, saith Jehovah.
Suna jin kunyar halinsu na banƙyama? A’a, ba sa jin kunya sam; ba su ma san yadda za su soke kai ba. Saboda haka za su fāɗi tare da fāɗaɗɗu; za a hamɓarar da su sa’ad da na hukunta su,” in ji Ubangiji.
16 Thus saith Jehovah: Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the ancient paths, which is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk [therein].
Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, “Ku tsaya kan hanyoyi, ku duba; ku nemi hanyoyin dā, ku tambaya inda hanyar mai kyau take, ku yi tafiya a kanta, za ku kuwa sami hutu wa rayukanku. Amma kun ce, ‘Ba za mu bi ta ba.’
17 Also I have set watchmen over you: — Hearken ye to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken.
Na naɗa muku masu tsaro a kanku na kuma ce, ‘Ku saurari karan ƙaho!’ Amma kuka ce, ‘Ba za mu saurara ba.’
18 Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O assembly, what is among them.
Saboda haka ku, ya al’ummai; ku lura Ya shaidu, abin da zai faru da su.
19 Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, the fruit of their thoughts; for they have not hearkened unto my words, and as to my law, they have rejected it.
Ki ji, ya duniya. Zan kawo masifa a kan waɗannan mutane, sakayyar ƙulle-ƙullensu, domin ba su saurari maganata ba suka kuma ƙi dokata.
20 To what purpose should there come to me incense from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far country? Your burnt-offerings are not acceptable, nor are your sacrifices pleasing unto me.
Babu riba a kawo mini turare daga Sheba ko rake mai zaƙi daga ƙasa mai nisa? Ba zan karɓi hadayunku na ƙonawa ba; ba na jin daɗin sadakokinku.”
21 Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will lay stumbling-blocks before this people, and the fathers and the sons together shall fall over them; the neighbour and his friend shall perish.
Saboda haka ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, “Zan sa abin tuntuɓe gaban mutanena. Mahaifi da’ya’yansa maza za su yi tuntuɓe a kan juna; maƙwabci da abokansa za su hallaka.”
22 Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, a people cometh from the north country, and a great nation is stirred up from the uttermost parts of the earth.
Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, “Duba, sojoji suna zuwa daga ƙasar arewa; babbar al’umma ce ta yunƙuro daga iyakokin duniya.
23 They lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy; their voice roareth like the sea; and they ride upon horses, set in array as a man for the battle, against thee, daughter of Zion.
Suna riƙe da baka da māshi; mugaye ne kuma marasa tausayi. Motsinsu kamar ƙugin teku ne yayinda suke hawan dawakansu; suna zuwa a jere kamar wanda ya yi shirin yaƙi don su fāɗa miki, ya Diyar Sihiyona.”
24 We have heard the report thereof: our hands are grown feeble; anguish hath taken hold of us, pain as of a woman that travaileth.
Mun ji labari a kansu, hannuwanmu kuwa suka yi laƙwas. Azaba ta kama mu, zafi kamar na mace mai naƙuda.
25 Go not forth into the field, nor walk by the way; for [there is] the sword of the enemy, terror is on every side.
Kada ku fita zuwa gonaki ko ku yi tafiya a hanyoyi, gama abokin gāba yana da takobi, kuma akwai razana ko’ina.
26 Daughter of my people, gird thee with sackcloth, and roll thyself in ashes: make mourning, [as] for an only son — bitter lamentation; for the spoiler cometh suddenly upon us.
Ya mutanena, ku sanya tufafin makoki ku yi birgima a toka; ku yi kuka mai zafi irin wanda akan yi wa ɗa tilo, gama nan da nan mai hallakarwa zai auko mana.
27 I have set thee among my people as an assayer, a fortress, that thou mayest know and try their way.
“Na maishe ka mai jarrabawar ƙarfe mutanena ne kuwa ƙarfen, don ka lura ka kuma gwada hanyoyinsu.
28 They are all the most rebellious of rebels, going about with slander: they are bronze and iron; they are all corrupters.
Su duka masu taurinkai ne,’yan tawaye, suna yawo suna baza jita-jita. Su tagulla ne da ƙarfe; dukansu lalatattu ne.
29 The bellows are burned, the lead is consumed by the fire; they have melted, and melted in vain; and the bad are not plucked away.
Mazuga yana zuga da ƙarfi don yă ƙone dalma da wuta, amma tacewa yana tafiya a banza; ba a fitar da mugaye.
30 Reprobate silver shall they call them, for Jehovah hath rejected them.
Ana ce da su azurfar da aka ƙi, gama Ubangiji ya ƙi su.”
