Jeremias 40
1 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias the second time, when he was yet bound in the court of the prison, saying,
Sai magana ta zo wa Irmiya daga Ubangiji bayan Nebuzaradan shugaban matsaran sarki ya sake shi a Rama. Ya sami Irmiya a daure da sarƙoƙi a cikin sauran kamammu daga Urushalima da kuma Yahuda waɗanda ake kaiwa zaman bauta a Babilon.
2 Thus says the Lord, who made the earth and formed it, to establish it; the Lord is his name;
Sa’ad da shugaban matsaran ya sami Irmiya sai ya ce masa, “Ubangiji Allahnka ya sa wannan masifa saboda wannan wuri.
3 Cry to me, and I will answer you, and I will declare to you great and mighty things, which you know not.
Yanzu kuma Ubangiji ya cika shi; ya yi kamar yadda ya faɗa. Dukan wannan ya faru domin kun yi zunubi ga Ubangiji ba ku kuwa yi masa biyayya ba.
4 For thus says the Lord concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the king of Juda, which have been pulled down for mounds and fortifications,
Amma yau ina’yantar da kai daga sarƙoƙin da suke a hannuwanka. Zo mu tafi Babilon, in kana so, zan kuwa lura da kai; amma in ba ka so, kada ka zo. Ga shi, dukan ƙasar tana a gabanka; ka tafi duk inda ka so.”
5 to fight against the Chaldeans, and to fill it with the corpses of men, whom I struck in mine anger and my wrath, and turned away my face from them, for all their wickedness:
Amma, kafin Irmiya yă juya yă tafi, Nebuzaradan ya ƙara da cewa, “Ka koma wurin Gedaliya ɗan Ahikam, ɗan Shafan, wanda sarkin Babilon ya naɗa a kan garuruwan Yahuda, ka zauna da shi a cikin mutane, ko kuwa ka tafi duk inda ka ga dama.” Sa’an nan shugaban ya ba shi abinci da kuma kyauta sai ya bar shi ya tafi.
6 Behold, I bring upon her healing and cure, and I will show [myself] to them, and will heal her, and make both peace and security.
Saboda haka Irmiya ya tafi wurin Gedaliya ɗan Ahikam, a Mizfa ya zauna tare da shi a cikin mutanen da aka bari a ƙasar.
7 And I will turn the captivity of Juda, and the captivity of Israel, and will build them, even as before.
Sa’ad da dukan shugabannin hafsoshin tare da mutanen da suke a karkara suka ji cewa sarkin Babilon ya naɗa Gedaliya ɗan Ahikam gwamna a kan ƙasar ya kuma sa shi ya lura da maza, mata da’ya’yan da suke mafi talauci a ƙasar da waɗanda ba a kwashe zuwa zaman bauta a Babilon ba,
8 And I will cleanse them from all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned against me, and will not remember their sins, whereby they have sinned against me, and revolted from me.
sai suka zo wurin Gedaliya a Mizfa, Ishmayel ɗan Netaniya, Yohanan da Yonatan’ya’yan Kareya, da Serahiya ɗan Tanhumet maza,’ya’yan Efai maza, mutumin Netofa, da Yezaniya ɗan mutumin Ma’aka da mutanensu.
9 And it shall be for joy and praise, and for glory to all the people of the earth, who shall hear all the good that I will do: and they shall fear and be provoked for all the good things and for all the peace which I will bring upon them.
Gedaliya ɗan Ahikam, ɗan Shafan, ya yi rantsuwa don yă tabbatar musu da mutanensu. Ya ce, “Kada ku ji tsoron bauta wa Babiloniyawa. Ku zauna a ƙasar ku bauta wa sarkin Babilon, zai kuma yi muku amfani.
10 Thus says the Lord; There shall yet be heard in this place, of which you say, it is destitute of men and cattle, in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem, [the places] that have been made desolate for lack of men and cattle,
Ni kaina zan zauna a Mizfa in zama wakilinku a gaban Babiloniyawa waɗanda za su zo wurinmu, amma ku girbe ruwan inabi,’ya’yan itatuwa na kaka, da mai, ku zuba su a tulunan ajiyarku, ku kuma zauna a garuruwan da kuka ci.”
11 the voice of gladness, and the voice of joy, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of men saying, Give thanks to the Lord Almighty: for the Lord is good; for his mercy [endures] fore ever: and they shall bring gifts into the house of the Lord; for I will turn all the captivity of that land as before, said the Lord.
Sa’ad da dukan Yahudawan da suke a Mowab, Ammon, Edom da sauran ƙasashe suka ji cewa sarkin Babilon ya bar raguwa a Yahuda ya kuma naɗa Gedaliya ɗan Ahikam, ɗan Shafan gwamna a kansu,
12 Thus says the Lord of hosts; There shall yet be in this place, that is desert for lack of man and beast, in all the cities thereof, resting-places for shepherds causing their flocks to lie down.
sai suka dawo ƙasar Yahuda, wurin Gedaliya a Mizfa, daga dukan ƙasashen da suke a warwatse. Suka girbe ruwan inabi a yalwace da’ya’yan itatuwan kaka.
13 In the cities of the hill country, and in the cities of the valley, and in the cities of the south, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the [cities] round about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Juda, flocks shall yet pass under the hand of him that numbers [them], says the Lord.
Yohanan ɗan Kareya da dukan manyan sojoji da suke a karkara suka zo wurin Gedaliya a Mizfa
suka ce masa, “Ba ka san cewa Ba’alis sarkin Ammonawa ya aiki Ishmayel ɗan Netaniya ya ɗauke ranka ba?” Amma Gedaliya ɗan Ahikam bai gaskata su ba.
Sai Yohanan ɗan Kareya ya yi wa Gedaliya a Mizfa magana a asirce ya ce, “Bari in tafi in kashe Ishmayel ɗan Netaniya, ba kuwa wanda zai sani. Me zai sa ya ɗauke ranka ya watsar da dukan Yahudawan da suka taru kewaye da kai har waɗanda suka ragu na Yahuda su hallaka?”
Amma Gedaliya ɗan Ahikam ya ce wa Yohanan ɗan Kareya, “Kada ka yi irin wannan abu! Abin da kake faɗa game da Ishmayel ba gaskiya ba ne.”
