Jeremias 21

1 THE WORD THAT CAME FROM THE LORD TO JEREMIAS, WHEN KING SEDEKIAS SENT TO HIM PASCHOR THE SON OF MELCHIAS, AND SOPHONIAS SON OF BASAEAS, THE PRIEST, SAYING,

Magana ta zo wa Irmiya daga Ubangiji sa’ad da Sarki Zedekiya ya aiki Fashhur ɗan Malkiya da firist Zefaniya ɗan Ma’asehiya gare shi. Suka ce masa,

2 Enquire of the Lord for us; for the king of Babylon has risen up against us; if the Lord will do according to all his wonderful works, and [the king] shall depart from us.

“Yanzu ka roƙi mana Ubangiji saboda Nebukadnezzar sarkin Babilon yana kawo mana yaƙi. Wataƙila Ubangiji zai yi mana waɗansu abubuwa banmamaki kamar a lokacin baya don yă janye daga gare mu.”

3 And Jeremias said to them, Thus shall you say to Sedekias king of Juda,

Amma Irmiya ya amsa musu ya ce, “Ku faɗa wa Zedekiya cewa,

4 Thus says the Lord; Behold, I [will] turn back the weapons of war wherewith you fight against the Chaldeans that have besieged you from outside the wall, and I will gather them into the midst of this city.

‘Ga abin da Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila, yake cewa ina shirin juya kayan yaƙin da suke a hannuwanka a kanka, waɗanda kake amfani don ka yaƙi sarki Babilon da kuma Babiloniyawa waɗanda suka kewaye katangar birnin, zan kuwa tsiba kayan yaƙinka a tsakiyar birnin nan.

5 And I will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, with wrath and great anger.

Ni da kaina zan yi yaƙi da kai da miƙaƙƙen hannu mai ƙarfi cikin fushi da hasala mai girma.

6 And I will strike all the dwellers in this city, [both] men and cattle, with grievous pestilence: and they shall die.

Zan kashe waɗanda suke zaune a wannan birni, mutane da dabbobi za su kuwa mutu da muguwar annoba.

7 And after this, thus says the Lord; I will give Sedekias king of Juda, and his servants, and the people that is left in this city from the pestilence, and from the famine, and from the sword, into the hands of their enemies, that seek their lives: and they shall cut them in pieces with the edge of the sword: I will not spare them, and I will not have compassion upon them.

Bayan wannan, in ji Ubangiji, zan ba da Zedekiya sarkin Yahuda, fadawansa da kuma mutanen wannan birni waɗanda suka tsira daga annoba, takobi da kuma yunwa, ga Nebukadnezzar sarkin Babilon da kuma ga abokan gābansu waɗanda suke neman ransu. Zai kashe su da takobi; ba zai ji tausayinsu ko ya yi musu jinƙai ko ya yi juyayinsu ba.’

8 And you shall say to this people, Thus says the Lord; Behold, I have set before you the way of life, and the way of death.

“Bugu da ƙari, ka faɗa wa mutanen cewa, ‘Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, ga shi na sa a gabanku hanyar rai da hanyar mutuwa.

9 He that remains in this city shall die by the sword, and by famine: but he that goes forth to advance to the Chaldeans that have besieged you, shall live, and his life shall be to him for a spoil, and he shall live.

Duk wanda ya zauna a wannan birni zai mutu ta takobi, yunwa ko annoba. Amma duk wanda ya fita ya miƙa kansa ga Babiloniyawa waɗanda suka kewaye ku zai rayu; zai kuɓutar da ransa.

10 For I have set my face against this city for evil, and not for good: it shall be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he shall consume it with fire.

Na ƙudura in yi wa wannan birni lahani ba alheri ba, in ji Ubangiji. Za a ba da shi a hannuwan sarki Babilon, zai kuwa hallaka shi da wuta.’

11 O house of the king of Juda, hear you the word of the Lord.

“Ban haka ma, ka faɗa wa gidan sarauta na Yahuda cewa, ‘Ku saurari maganar Ubangiji;

12 O house of David, thus says the Lord; Judge judgment in the morning, and act rightly, and rescue the spoiled one from the hand of him that wrongs him, lest mine anger be kindled like fire, and it burn, and there be none to quench [it].

Ya gidan Dawuda ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, “‘Ku yi gaskiya kowace safiya; ku kuɓuta daga hannun mai danniya wannan da aka yi wa fashi in ba haka ba hasalata za tă sauka ta kuma ci kamar wuta saboda muguntar da kuka aikata za tă ci babu wanda zai kashe ta.

13 Behold, I am against you that dwell in the valley of Sor; in the plain country, [even against] them that say, Who shall alarm us? or who shall enter into our habitation?

Ina gāba da ku, mazaunan Urushalima, ku da kuke zama a bisa wannan kwari kan dutsen da yake a fili, in ji Ubangiji ku da kuke cewa, “Wa zai iya yaƙe mu? Wa zai iya shiga mafakarmu?”

14 And I will kindle a fire in the forest thereof, and it shall devour all things round about it.

Zan hukunta ku gwargwadon ayyukanku, in ji Ubangiji. Zan sa wuta a kurminku da za tă cinye kome da yake kewaye da ku.’”
