Jeremiah 4
1 If thou wilt return, O Israel, saith the Lord, unto me must thou return; and if thou wilt put away thy abominations out of my sight, then shalt thou not wander about [any more].
“In za ka komo, ya Isra’ila, ka komo gare ni,” in ji Ubangiji. “In ka kau da gumakanka masu banƙyama daga gabana ba ka ƙara karkace ba,
2 And if thou wilt swear, As the Lord liveth, in truth, in justice, and in righteousness: then shall nations bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glorify themselves.
kuma in cikin gaskiya da adalci ka rantse, ‘Muddin Ubangiji yana raye,’ to al’ummai za su sami albarka ta wurinsa kuma a cikinsa za su ɗaukaka.”
3 For thus hath said the Lord to the men of Judah and to Jerusalem, Plough up your fallow ground, that ye may not sow among thorns.
Ga abin da Ubangiji yana ce wa mutanen Yahuda da kuma na Urushalima. “Ku nome ƙasarku kuma kada ku yi shuka cikin ƙayayyuwa.
4 Circumcise yourselves to the Lord, and remove the obduracy of your heart, O ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my fury come forth like fire, and burn so that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.
Ku yi wa kanku kaciya ga Ubangiji ku yi wa zukatanku kaciya, ku mutanen Yahuda da mutanen Urushalima, in ba haka ba hasalata za tă sauko ta ci kamar wuta saboda muguntar da kuka aikata za tă ci ba wanda zai kashe ta.
5 Tell ye in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem, and say, Blow ye the cornet in the land: call out, gather together, and say, Assemble yourselves, and let us go into the fortified cities.
“Ku yi shela a Yahuda ku kuma furta a Urushalima ku ce, ‘Ku busa ƙaho a ko’ina a ƙasar!’ Ku tā da murya da ƙarfi ku ce, ‘Ku tattaru! Bari mu gudu zuwa birane masu katanga!’
6 Set up the standard toward Zion; save yourselves by flight, stay not; for evil do I bring from the north, and a great destruction.
Ku tā da tuta don zuwa Sihiyona! Ku gudu ku nemi mafaka ba tare da jinkiri ba! Gama ina kawowa masifa daga arewa, mummunan hallaka kuwa.”
7 The lion is come up from his thicket, and the destroyer of nations hath commenced his march, he is gone forth from his place, to make thy land desolate; and thy cities shall be laid waste, left without an inhabitant.
Zaki ya fito daga ruƙuƙinsa; mai hallakarwar al’ummai ya kama hanya. Ya bar wurinsa don yă lalace ƙasarku. Garuruwanku za su zama kufai babu mazauna.
8 For this gird yourselves with sackcloths, lament and wail; for the fierce anger of the Lord is not turned away from us.
Saboda haka ku yafa tufafin makoki, ku yi makoki da kuka, gama fushin Ubangiji bai juye daga gare mu ba.
9 And it shall come to pass on that day, saith the Lord, that the heart of the king and the heart of the princes shall fail; and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall wonder.
“A wannan rana,” in ji Ubangiji, “sarki da shugabanni za su fid da zuciya, firistoci za su razana, annabawa kuma za su yi mamaki.”
10 Then said I, Ah, Lord Eternal! surely thou hast greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall have peace; whereas the sword reacheth unto the soul.
Sai na ce, “Kash, Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka, yaya ka ruɗi mutanen nan da kuma Urushalima gaba ɗaya haka ta wurin cewa, ‘Za ku zauna lafiya,’ sa’ad da takobi yana a maƙogwaronmu.”
11 At that time shall be announced to this people and to Jerusalem a dry wind from the mountain-peaks in the wilderness, [coming] on the road to the daughter of my people; not to winnow, nor to cleanse [the corn],
A lokacin za a faɗa wa mutanen nan da kuma Urushalima cewa, “Iska mai zafi daga tuddan hamada za tă hura zuwa wajen mutanena, amma ba don ta sheƙe ko ta rairaye; ba;
12 A strong wind from these places shall come unto me: now also will I myself pronounce judgment against them.
iska mafificin ƙarfi da ta fito daga gare ni. Yanzu na zartar da hukuncina a kansu.”
13 Behold, like clouds shall he come up, and like a whirlwind shall be his chariots: swifter than eagles are his horses. “Woe unto us! for we are wasted.”
Duba! Yana zuwa kamar gizagizai, kekunan yaƙinsa suna zuwa kamar guguwa, dawakansa sun fi gaggafa sauri. Kaiton mu! Mun shiga uku!
14 Wash from wrong doing thy heart, O Jerusalem, in order that thou mayest be saved. How long wilt thou let lodge within thee the thoughts of thy wickedness?
Ya Urushalima, ki wanke mugunta daga zuciyarki ki sami ceto. Har yaushe za ki zauna riƙe da mugayen tunani?
15 For a voice declareth from Dan, and publisheth unhappiness from the mountain of Ephraim.
Murya ta shela daga Dan, tana furtawa masifa daga tuddan Efraim.
16 Make ye mention of it to the nations; behold, let it be heard against Jerusalem, that beleaguerers come from a far-off country, and send forth their voice against the cities of Judah.
“A faɗa wa al’ummai wannan, a furta wannan game Urushalima. ‘Sojoji masu ƙawanya suna zuwa daga ƙasa mai nisa, suna tā da kirarin yaƙi a kan biranen Yahuda.
17 As keepers of a field are they against her round about; because against me hath she been rebellious, saith the Lord.
Sun kewaye ta kamar masu gadin fili, domin ta yi mini tawaye,’” in ji Ubangiji.
18 Thy way and thy doings have procured these things unto thee: this is thy wickedness, which is so bitter, which so reacheth unto thy heart.
“Halinki da ayyukanki sun kawo wannan a kanki. Hukuncinki ke nan. Yana da ɗaci! Ya soke ki har zuciyarki!”
19 My bowels, my bowels! I am shaken, at the very chambers of my heart; my heart beateth tumultuously in me; I cannot remain silent; because the sound of the cornet hast thou heard, O my soul, the alarm of war.
Azabana, azabana! Ina birgima cikin zafi. Azabana, azabar zuciyata! Zuciyata yana bugu a cikina, Ba zan yi shiru ba. Gama na ji karan ƙaho; na ji kirarin yaƙi.
20 Ruin upon ruin is called out; for the whole land is wasted: suddenly are my tents wasted, and in a moment, my curtains.
Masifa kan masifa; dukan ƙasar ta zama kufai. Cikin ɗan lokaci aka rurrushe tentuna nawa, mafakata ba zato.
21 How long shall I see the standard, hear the sound of the cornet?
Har yaushe zan dubi tutar yaƙi in kuma ji karar ƙaho?
22 “Because my people is foolish, me have they not known; sottish children are they, and they have not any understanding: wise are they to do evil, but how to do good they do not know.”
“Mutanena wawaye ne; ba su san ni ba. Su’ya’ya ne marasa azanci; ba su da fahimi. Suna da dabarar aikata mugunta; ba su san yadda za su aikata alheri ba.”
23 I look at the earth, and, lo, it is without form and void; and toward the heavens, and their light is gone.
Na dubi duniya, na ga cewa marar siffa ce babu kome; sammai kuma, haskensu ya tafi.
24 I look at the mountains, and, lo, they tremble, and all the hills are moved.
Na dubi duwatsu, sai na ga suna makyarkyata; dukan tuddai kuwa suna lilo.
25 I look, and, lo, there is no man, and all the birds of the heavens are fled.
Na duba, sai na ga ba kowa; kowane tsuntsu a sarari da ya tsere.
26 I look, and, lo, the fruitful country is a wilderness, and all its cities are laid waste at the presence of the Lord, because of the fierceness of his anger.
Na duba, sai na ga ƙasa mai amfani ta zama hamada; dukan garuruwanta sun zama kufai a gaban Ubangiji, a gaban zafin fushinsa.
27 For thus hath said the Lord, Desolate shall be the whole land; yet a full end will I not make.
Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, “Dukan ƙasar za tă zama kufai, ko da yake ba zan hallaka ta gaba ɗaya ba.
28 For this shall mourn the earth, and black shall be the heavens above; because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and I will not repent, and I will not turn back from it.
Saboda haka duniya za tă yi kuka sammai a bisa kuma za su yi duhu, domin na yi magana kuma ba zan fasa ba, na yanke shawara ba kuwa zan janye ba.”
29 From the noise of horsemen and those that shoot with the bow fleeth the whole city; they go into thickets, and climb up upon the rocks: every city is forsaken, and not a man dwelleth therein.
Da jin motsin mahayan dawakai da maharba kowane gari ya ruga da gudu. Waɗansu suka shiga kurmi; waɗansu suka hau cikin duwatsu. Dukan garuruwan sun fashe tas; babu wani da yake zama a ciki.
30 And thou, O wasted one, what wilt thou do? Though thou clothe thyself with scarlet, though thou adorn thyself with ornaments of gold, though thou encircle with paint thy eyes: in vain shalt thou make thyself beautiful; the adulterers will despise thee, thy life will they seek.
Me kike yi, ya wadda aka ragargaza? Me ya sa kika sanya mulufi kika sa kayan adon zinariya? Me ya sa kika sa wa idanunki tozali? Kin yi kwalliyarki a banza. Masoyanki sun bar ki; suna neman ranki.
31 For a voice as of a woman in travail have I heard, the anguish as of one that bringeth forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, that groaneth, that spreadeth out her hands, [saying, ] “Woe is me now! for my soul succumbeth to the murderers.”
Na ji kuka kamar na mace mai naƙuda, nishi kamar na wadda take haihuwa ɗanta na fari, kukan Diyar Sihiyona tana haki, da ƙyar take numfashi, tana miƙa hannuwanta tana cewa, “Wayyo ni kaina! Na suma; an ba da raina ga masu kisana.”
