Jeremiah 4
1 Israel, if you want to come back, then come back to me, declares the Lord. If you get rid of these disgusting idols I see, and don't wander away,
“In za ka komo, ya Isra’ila, ka komo gare ni,” in ji Ubangiji. “In ka kau da gumakanka masu banƙyama daga gabana ba ka ƙara karkace ba,
2 and if when you make your vows, you do so only to me, sincerely, truly, and honestly, then the nations will be blessed by me, and they will praise me.
kuma in cikin gaskiya da adalci ka rantse, ‘Muddin Ubangiji yana raye,’ to al’ummai za su sami albarka ta wurinsa kuma a cikinsa za su ɗaukaka.”
3 This is what the Lord is saying to the people of Judah and Jerusalem: Plow your unplowed ground, and don't sow among the thorns.
Ga abin da Ubangiji yana ce wa mutanen Yahuda da kuma na Urushalima. “Ku nome ƙasarku kuma kada ku yi shuka cikin ƙayayyuwa.
4 Dedicate yourselves to the Lord; be totally committed to him, people of Judah and Jerusalem. Otherwise, my anger will blaze like fire, burning so hard that no one can put it out because of the evil you've done.
Ku yi wa kanku kaciya ga Ubangiji ku yi wa zukatanku kaciya, ku mutanen Yahuda da mutanen Urushalima, in ba haka ba hasalata za tă sauko ta ci kamar wuta saboda muguntar da kuka aikata za tă ci ba wanda zai kashe ta.
5 Announce this warning throughout Judah and Jerusalem! Tell them: Blow the trumpet everywhere in the country! Shout out, “Hurry! Let's run to the fortified towns for protection!”
“Ku yi shela a Yahuda ku kuma furta a Urushalima ku ce, ‘Ku busa ƙaho a ko’ina a ƙasar!’ Ku tā da murya da ƙarfi ku ce, ‘Ku tattaru! Bari mu gudu zuwa birane masu katanga!’
6 Raise the danger flag; go to Zion! Find somewhere safe! Don't hesitate! I'm bringing enemies from the north who will cause terrible destruction.
Ku tā da tuta don zuwa Sihiyona! Ku gudu ku nemi mafaka ba tare da jinkiri ba! Gama ina kawowa masifa daga arewa, mummunan hallaka kuwa.”
7 A lion has left his hiding place; a destroyer of nations has started out. He has left his den to come and turn your country into a wasteland. Your towns will be demolished, and no one will live there.
Zaki ya fito daga ruƙuƙinsa; mai hallakarwar al’ummai ya kama hanya. Ya bar wurinsa don yă lalace ƙasarku. Garuruwanku za su zama kufai babu mazauna.
8 Wear clothes made of sackcloth, weep and wail, crying out, “The Lord's furious anger against us hasn't stopped.”
Saboda haka ku yafa tufafin makoki, ku yi makoki da kuka, gama fushin Ubangiji bai juye daga gare mu ba.
9 When that happens declares the Lord, the king and officials will lose heart, the priests will be devastated, and the prophets will be shocked.
“A wannan rana,” in ji Ubangiji, “sarki da shugabanni za su fid da zuciya, firistoci za su razana, annabawa kuma za su yi mamaki.”
10 Then I said, “Oh, Lord God, you have completely fooled the people of Jerusalem by telling them, ‘You will have peace,’ while holding a sword to our throats.”
Sai na ce, “Kash, Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka, yaya ka ruɗi mutanen nan da kuma Urushalima gaba ɗaya haka ta wurin cewa, ‘Za ku zauna lafiya,’ sa’ad da takobi yana a maƙogwaronmu.”
11 At that time the people of Jerusalem will be told, “A burning wind from the bare hills of the desert is blowing toward the Jerusalem, but not to blow away the chaff or the dust.
A lokacin za a faɗa wa mutanen nan da kuma Urushalima cewa, “Iska mai zafi daga tuddan hamada za tă hura zuwa wajen mutanena, amma ba don ta sheƙe ko ta rairaye; ba;
12 No, this wind is too strong for that, and it comes from me. Now I'm also going to tell them how I will punish them.”
iska mafificin ƙarfi da ta fito daga gare ni. Yanzu na zartar da hukuncina a kansu.”
13 Look, he's rushing in like stormclouds; his chariots are like a whirlwind. His horses fly faster than eagles. “What a disaster! We're ruined!”
Duba! Yana zuwa kamar gizagizai, kekunan yaƙinsa suna zuwa kamar guguwa, dawakansa sun fi gaggafa sauri. Kaiton mu! Mun shiga uku!
14 Clean the evil from your heart, Jerusalem, so that you can be saved. How long will you hold onto your evil thoughts?
Ya Urushalima, ki wanke mugunta daga zuciyarki ki sami ceto. Har yaushe za ki zauna riƙe da mugayen tunani?
15 News is shouted out from Dan, announcing disaster from the hills of Ephraim.
Murya ta shela daga Dan, tana furtawa masifa daga tuddan Efraim.
16 “Let the nations know! Look what's happening! Announce this to Jerusalem: An army is coming to besiege you from a distant country; shouting war-cries against the towns of Judah.
“A faɗa wa al’ummai wannan, a furta wannan game Urushalima. ‘Sojoji masu ƙawanya suna zuwa daga ƙasa mai nisa, suna tā da kirarin yaƙi a kan biranen Yahuda.
17 They encircle her like men guarding a field, because she has rebelled against me, declares the Lord.
Sun kewaye ta kamar masu gadin fili, domin ta yi mini tawaye,’” in ji Ubangiji.
18 You've brought this on yourself by your own attitudes and actions. This is your punishment, and it's so painful, it's like being stabbed in the heart!”
“Halinki da ayyukanki sun kawo wannan a kanki. Hukuncinki ke nan. Yana da ɗaci! Ya soke ki har zuciyarki!”
19 “I'm in agony, absolute agony! My heart is breaking! It's beating wildly in my chest! My heart pounds within me; I can't keep quiet because I've heard the trumpet, the signal for battle.
Azabana, azabana! Ina birgima cikin zafi. Azabana, azabar zuciyata! Zuciyata yana bugu a cikina, Ba zan yi shiru ba. Gama na ji karan ƙaho; na ji kirarin yaƙi.
20 News of one disaster after another comes flooding in, for the whole country is in ruins. My own home is destroyed in a moment, and everything inside.
Masifa kan masifa; dukan ƙasar ta zama kufai. Cikin ɗan lokaci aka rurrushe tentuna nawa, mafakata ba zato.
21 How long do I have to see the flags of war and hear the trumpets of battle?”
Har yaushe zan dubi tutar yaƙi in kuma ji karar ƙaho?
22 “My people are stupid; they don't know me. They are foolish children who just don't understand. They're experts at doing evil, but they don't know how to do good.”
“Mutanena wawaye ne; ba su san ni ba. Su’ya’ya ne marasa azanci; ba su da fahimi. Suna da dabarar aikata mugunta; ba su san yadda za su aikata alheri ba.”
23 I looked at the earth, and it was formless and empty; I looked to the heavens, and its light was gone.
Na dubi duniya, na ga cewa marar siffa ce babu kome; sammai kuma, haskensu ya tafi.
24 I looked at the mountains, and saw that they were shaking; all the hills were swaying to and fro.
Na dubi duwatsu, sai na ga suna makyarkyata; dukan tuddai kuwa suna lilo.
25 I looked, and nobody was left; all the birds had flown away.
Na duba, sai na ga ba kowa; kowane tsuntsu a sarari da ya tsere.
26 I looked, and the productive fields were a desert. All the towns were demolished because of the Lord's furious anger.
Na duba, sai na ga ƙasa mai amfani ta zama hamada; dukan garuruwanta sun zama kufai a gaban Ubangiji, a gaban zafin fushinsa.
27 This is what the Lord says: “The whole country will be devastated, but I won't do so completely.
Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, “Dukan ƙasar za tă zama kufai, ko da yake ba zan hallaka ta gaba ɗaya ba.
28 The earth will mourn and the heavens above will go dark. I have spoken; this is what I have ordered. I'm not going to stop or change my mind.”
Saboda haka duniya za tă yi kuka sammai a bisa kuma za su yi duhu, domin na yi magana kuma ba zan fasa ba, na yanke shawara ba kuwa zan janye ba.”
29 People from every town: run away when they hear the enemy horsemen and archers coming. They hide in the forest and among the rocks. All the towns are abandoned; no one lives in them.
Da jin motsin mahayan dawakai da maharba kowane gari ya ruga da gudu. Waɗansu suka shiga kurmi; waɗansu suka hau cikin duwatsu. Dukan garuruwan sun fashe tas; babu wani da yake zama a ciki.
30 You, Jerusalem, now desolate, what are you going to do? Even though you dress in scarlet clothes, and put on gold jewelry, and paint your eyes with make-up, all your dressing-up is pointless! Your lovers hate you; they want to kill you!
Me kike yi, ya wadda aka ragargaza? Me ya sa kika sanya mulufi kika sa kayan adon zinariya? Me ya sa kika sa wa idanunki tozali? Kin yi kwalliyarki a banza. Masoyanki sun bar ki; suna neman ranki.
31 I hear the cries like a woman in labor, the agonizing moans of a woman giving birth to her first child. These are the cries of the Daughter of Zion gasping for air, holding out her hands, saying, “Please help me, I'm being murdered!”
Na ji kuka kamar na mace mai naƙuda, nishi kamar na wadda take haihuwa ɗanta na fari, kukan Diyar Sihiyona tana haki, da ƙyar take numfashi, tana miƙa hannuwanta tana cewa, “Wayyo ni kaina! Na suma; an ba da raina ga masu kisana.”
