Jeremiah 34
1 The word which came unto Jeremiah from the Lord, when Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the country ruled by his power, and all the people, fought against Jerusalem, and against all its cities, saying,
Yayinda Nebukadnezzar sarkin Babilon da dukan sojojinsa da kuma dukan mulkokinsa da mutanen masarautar da yake mulki suna yaƙi da Urushalima da dukan garuruwan da suke kewaye, sai wannan magana ta zo wa Irmiya daga wurin Ubangiji cewa,
2 Thus hath said the Lord, the God of Israel, Go and speak to Zedekiah the king of Judah, and say to him, Thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will give up this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, that he may burn it with fire:
“Ga abin da Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila, yana cewa ka tafi wurin Zedekiya sarkin Yahuda ka faɗa masa, ‘Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, ina gab da ba da wannan birni ga sarkin Babilon, zai kuwa ƙone ta.
3 And thou thyself shalt not escape out of his hand; but thou shalt surely be caught, and be delivered into his hand; and thy eyes shall see the eyes of the king of Babylon, and his mouth shall speak with thy mouth, and to Babylon shalt thou go.
Ba za ka tsere daga hannunsa ba amma tabbatacce za a kama ka a kuma ba da kai gare shi. Za ka ga sarkin Babilon da idanunka, zai kuwa yi magana da kai fuska da fuska. Za ka kuwa tafi Babilon.
4 Yet hear the word of the Lord, O Zedekiah king of Judah, Thus hath said the Lord respecting thee, Thou shalt not die by the sword:
“‘Duk da haka ka ji alkawarin Ubangiji, ya Zedekiya sarkin Yahuda. Ga abin da Ubangiji yake cewa game da kai. Ba za ka mutu ta takobi ba;
5 In peace shalt thou die; and as burnings were made for thy fathers, the former kings who were before thee, so shall they make burnings for thee; and “Ah lord” shall they lament for thee; for I have spoken the word, saith the Lord.
za ka mutu cikin salama. Yadda mutane suka ƙuna wutar jana’iza don girmama kakanninka, sarakunan da suka riga ka, haka za su ƙuna wuta don girmama da kuma makokinka suna cewa, “Kaito, ya maigida!” Ni kaina na yi wannan alkawari, in ji Ubangiji.’”
6 And Jeremiah the prophet spoke unto Zedekiah the king of Judah all these words in Jerusalem,
Sa’an nan annabi Irmiya ya faɗi dukan wannan wa Zedekiya sarkin Yahuda, a Urushalima,
7 When the army of the king of Babylon was fighting against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish, and against 'Azekah; for these had been left of the cities of Judah as fortified cities.
yayinda sojojin sarkin Babilon suna yaƙi da Urushalima da sauran garuruwan Yahuda waɗanda suka ragu, Lakish da Azeka. Waɗannan su ne birane masu katanga kaɗai a Yahuda.
8 The word which came unto Jeremiah from the Lord, after king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people who were at Jerusalem, to proclaim among themselves freedom;
Maganar ta zo wa Irmiya daga Ubangiji bayan Sarki Zedekiya ya yi yarjejjeniya da duka mutane a Urushalima ya yi shelar’yanci wa bayi.
9 That every man should dismiss his man-servant, and every man his maid-servant, being a Hebrew man or a Hebrew woman, free; so that no man among them should exact labor of a Jew, his brother.
Kowa ya’yantar da bayinsa da suke Ibraniyawa, maza da mata; kada kowa ya riƙe bawa wanda yake mutumin Yahuda.
10 And all the princes had hearkened, with all the people, who had entered into the covenant, that every one should dismiss his man-servant, and every one his maid-servant, free, that no one should exact labor of them any more: and they had obeyed, and dismissed them.
Saboda haka dukan fadawa da mutane suka yi yarjejjeniyar cewa za su’yantar da bayinsu maza da mata ba za su kuwa ƙara riƙe su bayi ba. Suka yarda, suka kuma sake su.
11 But they had turned afterward, and they had brought back the men-servants and the maid-servants whom they had dismissed as free, and had subjected them to become men-servants and maid-servants.
Amma daga baya suka canja ra’ayoyinsu suka maido bayinsu suka kuma sāke bautar da su.
12 And the word of the Lord [then] came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
Sai maganar Ubangiji ta zo wa Irmiya cewa,
13 Thus hath said the Lord, the God of Israel, —I myself made a covenant with your fathers on the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondmen, saying,
“Ga abin da Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila, yana cewa na yi alkawari da kakanni-kakanninku sa’ad da na fitar da su daga Masar, daga ƙasar bauta. Na ce,
14 At the end of seven years shall ye dismiss every man his brother the Hebrew, who may have been sold unto thee; and when he hath served thee six years, then shalt thou dismiss him from thee; but your fathers hearkened not unto me, and inclined not their ear.
‘A kowace shekara ta bakwai dole kowannenku yă’yantar da duk wani ɗan’uwa mutumin Ibraniyawa wanda aka sayar masa. Bayan ya yi muku hidima shekaru shida, dole ku bar shi yă tafi’yantacce.’ Amma kakanninku ba su saurare ni ba, ba su ji ni ba.
15 And ye had turned this day, and done what is right in my eyes, to proclaim freedom every man to his neighbor; and ye had made a covenant before me in the house over which my name is called;
Bai daɗe ba da kuka tuba, kuka kuma yi abin da yake mai kyau a idona. Kowannenku ya yi shelar’yanci ga ɗan’uwansa. Kun ma yi yarjejjeniya a gabana a gidan da ake kira da Sunana.
16 But ye have turned again, and profaned my name, and ye have brought back every man his man-servant, and every man his woman-servant, whom ye had dismissed as free at their pleasure, and have subjected them to be unto you for men-servants and for women-servants.
Amma yanzu kun juya kun kuma ɓata sunana; kowannenku ya mayar da bayi maza da matan da kuka’yantar su tafi inda suka ga dama. Kun sāke tilasta su su zama bayinku.
17 Therefore thus hath said the Lord, Ye indeed have not hearkened unto me, to proclaim freedom, every one to his brother, and every one to his neighbor: behold, I proclaim a freedom over you, saith the Lord, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you a horror unto all the kingdoms of the earth.
“Saboda haka, ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, kun yi mini rashin biyayya; ba ku yi shelar’yanci don’yan’uwanku ba. Saboda haka yanzu na yi muku shelar’yanci in ji Ubangiji,’yanci ga mutuwa ta takobi, annoba da kuma yunwa. Zan sa ku zama abin ƙyama ga sauran mulkokin duniya.
18 And I will give up the men that have transgressed my covenant, who have not fulfilled the words of the covenant which they had made before me, at the calf which they cut in twain, and between the parts whereof they passed,
Mutanen da suka keta alkawarina da ba su cika sharuɗan alkawarin da suka yi a gabana ba, zan yi da su kamar ɗan maraƙin da suka yanka biyu suka bi ta tsakiyarsa.
19 The princes of Judah, and the princes of Jerusalem, the court-servants, and the priests, and all the people of the land, who have passed between the parts of the calf;
Shugabannin Yahuda da Urushalima, fadawa, firistoci da kuma dukan mutanen ƙasar waɗanda suka bi tsakanin ɗan maraƙin da aka yanka,
20 [Yea] I will give them up into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those that seek their life; and their dead bodies shall become food unto the fowls of the heavens, and to the beasts of the earth.
zan ba da su ga abokan gābansu waɗanda suke neman ransu. Gawawwakinsu za su zama abincin tsuntsayen sararin sama da na namun jeji.
21 And Zedekiah the king of Judah and his princes will I give up into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those that seek their life, and into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon, that are [now] gone away from you.
“Zan ba da Zedekiya sarkin Yahuda da fadawansa ga abokan gābansu waɗanda suke neman ransu, ga sojojin sarkin Babilon, waɗanda suke janye daga gare ku.
22 Behold, I will command, speaketh the Lord, and I will bring them back to this city; and they shall fight against it, and capture it, and burn it with fire: and the cities of Judah will I make a desert without an inhabitant.
Zan yi umarni, in ji Ubangiji, zan kuma komo da su wannan birni. Za su kuwa yi yaƙi da ita, su ƙwace ta su kuma ƙone ta. Zan kuma mai da garuruwan Yahuda kufai don kada wani ya zauna a can.”
