Jeremiah 38
1 Then Shephatiah the sonne of Mattan, and Gedaliah the sonne of Pashur, and Iucal the sonne of Shelemiah, and Pashur the sonne of Malchiah, heard the wordes that Ieremiah had spoken vnto all the people, saying,
Shefatiya ɗan Mattan, Gedaliya ɗan Fashhur, Yukal ɗan Shelemiya da Fashhur ɗan Malkiya ya ji abin da Irmiya yana faɗa wa dukan mutane sa’ad da ya ce,
2 Thus sayth the Lord, He that remaineth in this citie, shall dye by the sworde, by the famine and by the pestilence: but hee that goeth foorth to the Caldeans, shall liue: for he shall haue his life for a praye, and shall liue.
“Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, ‘Duk wanda ya zauna a wannan birni zai mutu ta takobi, yunwa ko annoba, amma duk wanda ya je wurin Babiloniyawa zai rayu. Zai tsira da ransa, ya rayu.’
3 Thus sayth the Lord, This citie shall surely be giuen into the hand of the King of Babels armie, which shall take it.
Kuma ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, ‘Tabbatacce za a ba da wannan birni ga sojojin sarkin Babilon, wanda zai ci shi.’”
4 Therefore the Princes sayd vnto the King, We beseech you, let this man be put to death: for thus hee weakeneth the hands of the men of warre that remaine in this citie, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such wordes vnto them: for this man seeketh not the wealth of this people, but the hurt.
Sai fadawa suka ce wa sarki, “Ya kamata a kashe wannan mutum. Yana karya zuciyar sojojin da suka ragu a birnin, da zuciyar sauran mutane, ta wurin abubuwan da yake faɗa musu. Wannan mutum ba ya neman jin daɗin zaman wannan sai dai wahala.”
5 Then Zedekiah the King sayd, Behold, he is in your hands, for ye King can denie you nothing.
“Yana a hannuwanku” Sarki Zedekiya ya amsa. “Sarki ba zai iya yin kome ya hana ku ba.”
6 Then tooke they Ieremiah, and cast him into the dungeon of Malchiah the sonne of Hammelech, that was in the court of the prison: and they let downe Ieremiah with coards: and in the dungeon there was no water but myre: so Ieremiah stacke fast in the myre.
Saboda haka suka kama Irmiya suka sa a rijiyar da ba ruwa a ciki ta Malkiya, ɗan sarki, wadda take a sansanin matsara. Suka saukar da Irmiya cikin rijiyar da ba ruwa da igiya; babu ruwa a cikinta, sai laka, Irmiya ya nutse cikin laka.
7 Now when Ebed-melech ye blacke More one of ye Eunuches, which was in the kings house, heard that they had put Ieremiah in the dungeon (then the King sate in the gate of Beniamin)
Amma Ebed-Melek mutumin Kush, wani hafsa a fada, ya ji cewa sun sa Irmiya a rijiyar da ba ruwa. Yayinda sarki yana zama a Ƙofar Benyamin,
8 And Ebed-melech went out of the Kings house, and spake to the King, saying,
Ebed-Melek ya fita daga fadar ya ce masa,
9 My lorde the King, these men haue done euill in all that they haue done to Ieremiah the Prophet, whom they haue cast into the dungeon, and he dyeth for hunger in the place where he is: for there is no more bread in the citie.
“Ranka yă daɗe sarki, waɗannan mutane sun yi mugun abu a duk abin da suka yi wa Irmiya annabi. Sun jefa shi cikin rijiyar da ba ruwa, inda zai mutu da yunwa gama ba sauran wani burodi a birnin.”
10 Then the King commanded Ebed-melech the blacke More, saying, Take from hence thirtie men with thee, and take Ieremiah the Prophet out of the dungeon before he dye.
Sai sarki ya umarce Ebed-Melek mutumin Kush, “Ka ɗauko mutane talatin daga nan ku fid da Irmiya annabi daga rijiyar kafin ya mutu.”
11 So Ebed-melech tooke the men with him and went to the house of the King vnder the treasurie, and tooke there olde rotten ragges, and olde worne cloutes, and let them downe by coards into the dungeon to Ieremiah.
Saboda haka Ebed-Melek ya ɗauki mutane tare da shi suka shiga ɗaki a ƙarƙashin baitulmali a cikin fada. Ya ɗauko waɗansu tsofaffin tsummoki da tsofaffi riguna daga can ya kuma zurara su da igiya wa Irmiya a cikin rijiyar.
12 And Ebed-melech the blacke More sayde vnto Ieremiah, Put now these olde rotten ragges and worne, vnder thine arme holes, betweene the coards. And Ieremiah did so.
Ebed-Melek mutumin Kush ya ce wa Irmiya, “Ka sa waɗannan tsummoki da tsofaffin rigunan a hammatarka, ya zarga igiya.” Irmiya ya yi haka,
13 So they drewe vp Ieremiah with coards and tooke him vp out of the dungeon, and Ieremiah remained in the court of the prison.
suka kuma ja shi sama da igiya suka fid da shi daga rijiyar. Irmiya kuwa ya zauna a sansanin matsara.
14 Then Zedekiah the King sent, and tooke Ieremiah the Prophet vnto him, into the thirde entrie that is in the House of the Lord, and the King sayd vnto Ieremiah, I wil aske thee a thing: hide nothing from me.
Sai Sarki Zedekiya ya aika a kawo Irmiya annabi, ya sa aka kawo shi a ƙofa ta uku ta haikalin Ubangiji. Sai sarki ya ce wa Irmiya, “Zan tambaye ka wani abu, kada ka ɓoye mini wani abu.”
15 Then Ieremiah sayd to Zedekiah, If I declare it vnto thee, wilt not thou slay me? and if I giue thee counsell, thou wilt not heare me.
Irmiya ya ce wa Zedekiya, “In na ba ka amsa, ba za ka kashe ni ba? Ko da na ba ka shawara, ba za ka saurare ni ba.”
16 So the King sware secretly vnto Ieremiah, saying, As the Lord liueth that made vs these soules, I will not slay thee, nor giue thee into the hands of those men that seeke thy life.
Amma Sarki Zedekiya ya yi wannan rantsuwa a kaɗaice ga Irmiya cewa, “Muddin Ubangiji yana a raye, wanda ya ba mu numfashi, ba zan kashe ka ko in ba da kai ga waɗanda suke neman ranka ba.”
17 Then sayd Ieremiah vnto Zedekiah, Thus sayth the Lord God of hostes, the God of Israel, If thou wilt goe foorth vnto the King of Babels princes, then thy soule shall liue, and this citie shall not be burnt vp with fire, and thou shalt liue, and thine house.
Sa’an nan Irmiya ya ce wa Zedekiya, “Ga abin da Ubangiji Allah Maɗaukaki, Allah na Isra’ila, yana cewa, ‘In ka miƙa wuya ga hafsoshin sarkin Babilon, za a bar ka da rai ba za a kuma ƙone wannan birni ba; da kai da iyalinka za ku rayu.
18 But if thou wilt not go forth to the King of Babels princes, then shall this citie be giuen into the hand of ye Caldeans, and they shall burne it with fire, and thou shalt not escape out of their hands.
Amma in ba ka miƙa wuya ga hafsoshin sarkin Babilon ba, za a ba da wannan birni ga Babiloniyawa za su kuma cinna mata wuta; kai kanka ba za ka tsira daga hannuwansu ba.’”
19 And Zedekiah the King sayde vnto Ieremiah, I am carefull for the Iewes that are fled vnto the Caldeans, least they deliuer mee into their hands, and they mocke me.
Sarki Zedekiya ya ce wa Irmiya, “Ina jin tsoron Yahudawan da suka tafi wurin Babiloniyawa, gama Babiloniyawa mai yiwuwa su ba da ni gare su su kuma wulaƙanta ni.”
20 But Ieremiah sayd, They shall not deliuer thee: hearken vnto the voyce of the Lord, I beseech thee, which I speake vnto thee: so shall it be well vnto thee, and thy soule shall liue.
Irmiya ya ce, “Ba za su ba da kai ba, ka yi biyayya ga Ubangiji ta wurin yin abin da na faɗa maka. Ta haka zai zama maka da amfani, za ka kuwa rayu.
21 But if thou wilt refuse to go forth, this is the worde that the Lord hath shewed me.
Amma in ka ƙi miƙa wuya, ga abin da Ubangiji ya bayyana mini.
22 And beholde, all the women that are left in the King of Iudahs house, shalbe brought forth to the King of Babels princes: and those women shall say, Thy friends haue perswaded thee, and haue preuailed against thee: thy feete are fastened in the myre, and they are turned backe.
Za a fitar da dukan matan da suka ragu a fadan sarkin Yahuda wa hafsoshin sarkin Babilon. Waɗannan mata za su ce maka, “‘Sun ruɗe ka suka kuma rinjaye ka, waɗannan abokanka. Ƙafafunka sun nutse a cikin laka; abokanka sun yashe ka.’
23 So they shall bring out all thy wiues, and thy children to the Caldeans, and thou shalt not escape out of their hands, but shalt be taken by the hand of the King of Babel: and this citie shalt thou cause to be burnt with fire.
“Za a kawo dukan matanka da’ya’yanka wa Babiloniyawa. Kai kanka ba za ka tsira daga hannuwansu ba amma za su sa sarkin Babilon zai kama ka; za a kuma ƙone wannan birni.”
24 Then said Zedekiah vnto Ieremiah, Let no man know of these words, and thou shalt not die.
Sai Zedekiya ya ce wa Irmiya, “Kada ka bar wani ya san wannan zance, in ba haka ba za ka mutu.
25 But if ye princes vnderstand that I haue talked with thee, and they come vnto thee, and say vnto thee, Declare vnto vs nowe, what thou hast sayde vnto the King, hide it not from vs, and we will not slay thee: also what the King sayd vnto thee,
In fadawa suka ji cewa na yi magana da kai, suka kuma zo wurinka suka ce, ‘Faɗa mana abin da ka faɗa wa sarki da kuma abin da sarki ya faɗa maka; kada ka ɓoye mana, in ba haka za mu kashe ka,’
26 Then shalt thou say vnto them, I humbly besought the King that he would not cause me to returne to Iehonathans house, to die there.
sai ka ce musu cewa, ‘Na roƙi sarki kada yă mai da ni gidan Yonatan in mutu a can.’”
27 Then came all the princes vnto Ieremiah and asked him. And he tolde them according to all these wordes that the King had commanded: so they left off speaking with him, for the matter was not perceiued.
Dukan fadawa kuwa suka zo wurin Irmiya suka tambaye shi, ya kuma faɗa musu dukan abin da sarki ya umarce shi ya faɗa. Saboda haka ba su ƙara ce masa kome ba, gama ba wanda ya ji zance da suka yi da sarki.
28 So Ieremiah abode still in the court of the prison, vntill the day that Ierusalem was taken: and he was there, when Ierusalem was taken.
Irmiya kuwa ya zauna a sansanin masu gadi har ranar da aka ci Urushalima da yaƙi. Ga yadda aka ci Urushalima,
