Jeremiah 29

1 And these [are] the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the remnant of [the] elderly of the expulsion, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people—whom Nebuchadnezzar removed from Jerusalem to Babylon,

Ga abin da yake cikin wasiƙar annabi Irmiya da ya aika daga Urushalima zuwa ga sauran dattawan da suka ragu a cikin masu zaman bauta da kuma zuwa ga firistoci, annabawa da kuma dukan sauran mutanen da Nebukadnezzar ya kwashe zuwa zaman bauta daga Urushalima zuwa Babilon.

2 after the going forth of Jeconiah the king, and the mistress, and the officers, heads of Judah and Jerusalem, and the craftsman, and the smith, from Jerusalem—

(Wannan ya faru bayan Sarki Yekoniya da mahaifiyar sarauniya, shugabannin fada da kuma dukan shugabannin Yahuda da Urushalima, gwanayen sana’a da masu sassaƙa suka tafi zaman bauta daga Urushalima.)

3 by the hand of Eleasah son of Shaphan, and Gemariah son of Hilkiah, whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent to Babylon, to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, saying,

Ya ba da wasiƙar ta hannun Eleyasa ɗan Shafan da Gemariya ɗan Hilkiya, waɗanda Zedekiya sarkin Yahuda ya aika wurin Sarki Nebukadnezzar a Babilon. Wasiƙar ta ce,

4 “Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, to all the expulsion that I removed from Jerusalem to Babylon:

Ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki, Allah na Isra’ila, yana cewa ga dukan waɗanda aka kwashe zuwa zaman bauta daga Urushalima zuwa Babilon.

5 Build houses and abide; and plant gardens and eat their fruit;

“Ku gina gidaje ku zauna; ku dasa gonaki ku kuma ci abin da suka haifar.

6 take wives and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, and they bear sons and daughters; and multiply there, and you are not few;

Ku yi aure ku kuma haifi’ya’ya maza da mata; ku nemi mata wa’ya’yanku maza, ku kuma ba da’ya’yanku mata ga aure, saboda su ma za su haifi’ya’ya maza da mata. Ku riɓaɓɓanya a can, kada ku ragu.

7 and seek the peace of the city to where I have removed you, and pray to YHWH for it, for in its peace you have peace.

Haka kuma, ku nemi zaman salama da cin gaba a birnin da aka kai ku zaman bauta. Ku yi addu’a ga Ubangiji saboda birnin, domin in ya ci gaba, ku ma za ku ci gaba.”

8 For thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Do not let your prophets who [are] in your midst, and your diviners, lift you up, nor listen to their dreams, that you are causing [them] to dream;

I, ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki, Allah na Isra’ila yana cewa, “Kada ku bar annabawa da masu sihiri a cikinku su ruɗe ku. Kada ku saurari mafarkan da dā kuke ƙarfafa su su yi.

9 for they are prophesying with falsehood to you in My Name; I have not sent them, a declaration of YHWH.

Suna muku annabcin ƙarya da sunana. Ban aike su ba,” in ji Ubangiji.

10 For thus said YHWH: Surely at the fullness of Babylon—seventy years—I inspect you, and have established My good word toward you, to bring you back to this place.

Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, “Sa’ad da shekaru saba’in suka cika a Babilon, zan zo muku in cika alkawarin alherina don in komo da ku zuwa wannan wuri.

11 For I have known the thoughts that I am thinking toward you—a declaration of YHWH; thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give posterity and hope to you.

Gama na san shirye-shiryen da na yi muku,” in ji Ubangiji, “shirye-shiryen cin gaba ba na cutarwa ba, shirye-shiryen ba ku sa zuciya da kuma na nan gaba.

12 And you have called Me, and have gone, and have prayed to Me, and I have listened to you,

Sa’an nan za ku kira gare ni ku zo ku kuma yi addu’a gare ni, zan kuwa ji ku.

13 and you have sought Me, and have found, for you seek Me with all your heart;

Za ku neme ni ku kuwa same ni sa’ad da kuka neme ni da dukan zuciyarku.

14 and I have been found by you—a declaration of YHWH; and I have turned back [to] your captivity, and have gathered you out of all the nations, and out of all the places to where I have driven you—a declaration of YHWH—and I have brought you back to the place from where I removed you.

Za ku same ni,” in ji Ubangiji, “zan kuma komo da ku daga bauta. Zan tattaro ku daga dukan al’ummai in sa ku inda na kore ku,” in ji Ubangiji, “zan kuma komo da ku zuwa wurin da na kwashe ku zuwa zaman bauta.”

15 Because you have said, YHWH has raised up prophets to us in Babylon,

Za ku iya ce, “Ubangiji ya tā da annabawa saboda mu a Babilon.”

16 surely thus said YHWH concerning the king who is sitting on the throne of David, and concerning all the people that are dwelling in this city, your brothers who did not go forth with you in the expulsion—

Amma ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa game da sarki, wanda yake zaune a kursiyin Dawuda da kuma dukan mutanen da suka ragu a wannan birni,’yan’uwanku waɗanda ba su tafi tare da ku zuwa zaman bauta ba.

17 thus said YHWH of Hosts: Behold, I am sending the sword, the famine, and the pestilence among them, and I have given them up as figs that [are] vile, that are not eaten because of badness.

I, ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki yana cewa, “Zan aika da takobi, yunwa da annoba a kansu zan kuma sa su zama kamar ɓaure marar amfani da suka yi munin da ba a iya ci.

18 And I have pursued after them with sword, with famine, and with pestilence, and have given them for a trembling to all kingdoms of the earth, for a curse and for an astonishment, and for a hissing, and for a reproach among all the nations to where I have driven them,

Zan fafare su da takobi, yunwa da annoba zan kuma sa su zama abin ƙyama ga dukan mulkokin duniya da kuma abin la’ana da abin bantsoro, abin dariya da abin reni, a cikin dukan al’umman da aka kore su zuwa.

19 because that they have not listened to My words—a declaration of YHWH—that I sent to them by My servants the prophets, rising early and sending, and you did not listen—a declaration of YHWH.

Gama ba su saurari maganata ba,” in ji Ubangiji, “maganar da na aika gare su sau da sau ta bayina annabawa. Ku kuma masu zaman bauta ba ku saurara ba,” in ji Ubangiji.

20 And you, hear a word of YHWH, all you of the captivity that I have sent from Jerusalem to Babylon—

Saboda haka, ku ji maganar Ubangiji, dukanku masu zaman bauta waɗanda na aika daga Urushalima zuwa Babilon.

21 thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, concerning Ahab son of Kolaiah, and concerning Zedekiah son of Maaseiah, who are prophesying falsehood to you in My Name: Behold, I am giving them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he has struck them before your eyes,

Ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki, Allah na Isra’ila, yana cewa game da Ahab ɗan Kolahiya da Zedekiya ɗan Ma’asehiya, waɗanda suke muku annabcin ƙarya da sunana. “Zan ba da su ga Nebukadnezzar sarkin Babilon, zai kuwa kashe su a gaban idanunku.

22 and because of them a reviling has been taken by all the expulsion of Judah that [are] in Babylon, saying, YHWH sets you as Zedekiah, and as Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted with fire;

Saboda su, dukan masu zaman bauta daga Yahuda waɗanda suke a Babilon za su yi amfani da wannan la’ana cewa, ‘Ubangiji ka yi da mu kamar Zedekiya da Ahab waɗanda sarkin Babilon ya ƙone da wuta.’

23 because that they have done folly in Israel, and commit adultery with the wives of their neighbors, and falsely speak a word in My Name that I have not commanded them, and I [am] He who knows and a witness—a declaration of YHWH.

Gama sun aikata munanan abubuwa a Isra’ila; sun yi zina da matan maƙwabtansu kuma da sunana suka yi ƙarya, waɗanda ban faɗa musu su yi ba. Na san wannan kuma ni shaida ne ga haka,” in ji Ubangiji.

24 And you speak to Shemaiah the Nehelamite, saying,

Faɗa wa Shemahiya mutumin Nehelam,

25 Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, saying, Because that you have sent letters in your name to all the people who [are] in Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah son of Maaseiah the priest, and to all the priests, saying,

“Ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki, Allah na Isra’ila, yana cewa ka aika da wasiƙu da sunanka ga dukan mutane a Urushalima, zuwa ga Zefaniya ɗan Ma’asehiya firist da kuma ga sauran firistoci. Ka ce wa Zefaniya,

26 YHWH has made you priest instead of Jehoiada the priest, for there being inspectors of the house of YHWH over every man [who] is mad and making himself a prophet, and you have put him in the stocks and in the pillory.

‘Ubangiji ya naɗa ka firist a wurin Yehohiyada don ka lura da gidan Ubangiji; ya kamata ka sa kowane mahaukaci wanda yake yi kamar annabi cikin turu da kuma a kangi.

27 And now, why have you not pushed against Jeremiah of Anathoth, who is making himself a prophet to you?

To, me ya sa ba ka tsawata wa Irmiya daga Anatot, wanda yana ɗauka kansa annabi a cikinku ba?

28 Because that he has sent to us [in] Babylon, saying, It [is] long, build houses and abide; and plant gardens and eat their fruit.”

Ya aiko mana da saƙonsa a Babilon cewa zai ɗauki lokaci ƙwarai. Saboda haka ku gina gidaje ku zauna; ku dasa gonaki ku kuma ci abin da suka haifar.’”

29 And Zephaniah the priest reads this letter in the ears of Jeremiah the prophet.

Zefaniya firist kuwa, ya karanta wasiƙar annabi Irmiya.

30 And there is a word of YHWH to Jeremiah, saying,

Sa’an nan maganar Ubangiji ta zo wa Irmiya cewa,

31 “Send to all the expulsion, saying, Thus said YHWH concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite: Because that Shemaiah prophesied to you, and I have not sent him, and he causes you to trust on falsehood,

“Ka aika da wannan saƙo zuwa ga dukan masu zaman bauta cewa, ‘Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa game da Shemahiya, mutumin Nehelam. Domin Shemahiya ya yi muku annabci, ko da yake ban aike shi ba, ya kuma sa kuka gaskata ƙarya,

32 therefore, thus said YHWH: Behold, I am seeing after Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and after his seed, he has none dwelling in the midst of this people, nor does he look on the good that I am doing to My people,” a declaration of YHWH, “for he has spoken apostasy against YHWH.”

ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, tabbatacce zan hukunta Shemahiya mutumin Nehelam da zuriyarsa. Ba zai kasance da wani da ya rage a cikin wannan mutane ba, ba kuwa zai ga abubuwa alherin da zan yi wa mutanena ba, in ji Ubangiji, domin ya yi wa’azin tawaye a kaina.’”
