Lamentations 4
1 How gold has tarnished! Even pure gold has lost its shine! Jewels from the Temple have been scattered on every street corner.
Zinariya ta rasa kyanta, hasken zinariya ya dushe! An warwatsar da tsarkakakkun duwatsu masu daraja a kan tituna.
2 Look at how the precious people of Zion, worth their weight in gold, are now valued like cheap clay jars made by a potter!
Dubi samarin Sihiyona masu daraja, waɗanda a dā darajarsu ta isa nauyin zinariya, yanzu ana ɗaukar su a matsayin tukwanen ƙasa, aikin maginin tukwane!
3 Even jackals nurse their young at their breasts, but the women of my people have become cruel, like an ostrich in the desert.
Ko diloli suna ba’ya’yansu nono su sha, amma mutanena sun zama marasa zuciya kamar jiminai a cikin jeji.
4 The nursing babies are so thirsty that their tongues stick to the roof of their mouths. Little children beg for food, but nobody gives them anything.
Domin ƙishirwa harshen jarirai ya manne a rufin bakinsu; yaran suna roƙo a ba su burodi, amma ba wanda ya ba su.
5 Those who used to eat gourmet food now die starving in the streets. Those who dressed in fine clothes from their childhood now live in heaps of rubbish.
Waɗanda a dā sukan ci abinci mai daɗi yanzu su ne masu bara a tituna. Waɗanda a dā suke sa kaya masu kyau yanzu suna kwance a kan tarin toka.
6 Jerusalem's punishment is worse than sinful Sodom's, which was destroyed in a brief moment, without the help of human hands.
Horon mutanena ya fi na Sodom girma, wadda aka hallaka farat ɗaya ba wani hannu da ya juya ya taimake ta.
7 Her leaders were purer than snow, whiter than milk; their bodies were a healthier red than coral, and they shone like lapis lazuli.
’Ya’yan sarakunansu sun fi ƙanƙara haske sun kuma fi madara fari, jikunansu sun fi murjani ja, kyansu kamar shuɗin yakutu.
8 But now they look blacker than soot; no one recognizes them in the street. Their skin has shrunk to their bones and is as dry as wood.
Amma yanzu sun fi dare duhu; ba a iya gane su a tituna. Fatar jikinsu ta manne da ƙasusuwansu; sun bushe kamar itace.
9 Those killed by the sword are better off than those who die of hunger, who slowly waste away in agony because the fields produce no crops.
Gara waɗanda aka kashe su da takobi da waɗanda suke mutuwa da yunwa; sun rame domin rashin abinci a gona.
10 The hands of loving women have cooked their own children to eat during the destruction of Jerusalem.
Da hannuwansu mata masu tausayi sun dafa yaransu, suka zama masu abinci sa’ad da aka hallaka mutanena.
11 The Lord has given full expression to his anger. He has poured out his fury. He has started a fire in Zion, and it has burned down her very foundations.
Ubangiji ya saki fushinsa; ya zuba zafin fushinsa. Ya hura wuta a Sihiyona ta kuma cinye harsashin gininta.
12 No king on earth—in fact nobody in all the world—thought that an enemy or attacker could enter the gates of Jerusalem.
Sarakunan duniya ba su gaskata ba, haka ma mutanen duniya, cewa magabta da maƙiya za su iya shiga ƙofofin Urushalima.
13 But this happened because of the sins of her prophets and the wickedness of her priests, who shed the blood of the innocent right there in the city.
Amma ya faru domin zunuban annabawanta da muguntar firistocinta, waɗanda suka zub da jinin masu adalci a cikinsu.
14 They wandered like blind men through the streets, made unclean by this blood, so no one would touch their clothes.
Yanzu suna yawo barkatai a tituna kamar makafi. Sun ƙazantu da jini yadda ba wanda zai kuskura ya taɓa rigunansu.
15 “Go away! You're unclean!” people would shout at them, “Go away, go away! Don't touch us!” So they ran away and wandered from country to country, but the people there told them, “You can't stay here!”
“Ku tafi! Ba ku da tsabta!” Haka mutane suke ihu suke ce musu. “Ku tashi daga nan! Ku tashi daga nan! Kada ku taɓa mu!” Sa’ad da suka gudu suna yawo, mutanen waɗansu ƙasashe suka ce, “Ba za su ci gaba da zama a nan ba.”
16 The Lord himself has scattered them; he doesn't bother with them anymore. Nobody respects the priests, and nobody admires the leaders.
Ubangiji kansa ya warwatsa su; ya daina duban su. Ba a ba firistoci girma, ba su ba dattawa gata.
17 We wore out our eyes pointlessly looking for help the whole time; we watched from our towers for a nation to come that couldn't save us.
Idanunmu sun gaji, suna ta dubawa ko taimako zai zo; mu sa ido ko za mu ga ƙasar da za tă iya taimakon mu.
18 The enemy tracked our every movement so we couldn't walk through our streets. Our end approached. Our time was up because our end had come.
Ana bin sawunmu, ba za mu iya tafiya kan tituna ba. Ƙarshenmu ya kusa, kwanakinmu sun ƙare, gama ƙarshenmu ya zo.
19 Our pursuers were faster than eagles in the sky. They chased us across the mountains and ambushed us in the desert.
Masu fafarar mu sun fi gaggafa mai firiya a sararin sama sauri; sun fafare mu a kan duwatsu suna fakon mu a jeji.
20 The king, the Lord's anointed, our country's “life-breath,” was trapped and captured by them. We had said about him, “Under his protection we will live among the nations.”
Shafaffe na Ubangiji, numfashin ranmu, ya fāɗi cikin tarkonsu. Muna tunani cewa za mu iya rayuwa cikin sauran mutane a ƙarƙashin inuwarsa.
21 Celebrate and be happy while you can, people of Edom, you who live in the land of Uz, because this cup will be passed to you too. You will get drunk and strip yourself naked.
Ku yi murna da farin ciki, ya Diyar Edom, ke mai zama a ƙasar Uz. Amma ke ma za a ba ki kwaf; za ki bugu ki zama tsirara.
22 People of Zion, your punishment is coming to an end—he won't continue your exile for long. But he is going to punish your sins, people of Edom; he will reveal your sins.
Ya Diyar Sihiyona, hukuncinki zai ƙare; ba zai sa zaman bautarki yă yi tsayi ba. Amma ya Diyar Edom, zai hukunta zunubinki yă tona tsiraicinki.
