Jeremiah 40
1 The word that has been to Jeremiah from YHWH, after Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners, has sent him from Ramah, in his taking him—and he a prisoner in chains—in the midst of all the expulsion of Jerusalem and of Judah, who are removed to Babylon.
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 And the chief of the executioners takes Jeremiah and says to him, “Your God YHWH has spoken this calamity concerning this place,
Sa’ad da shugaban matsaran ya sami Irmiya sai ya ce masa, “Ubangiji Allahnka ya sa wannan masifa saboda wannan wuri.
3 and YHWH brings [it] in, and does as He spoke, because you have sinned against YHWH, and have not listened to His voice, even this thing has been to you.
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 And now, behold, I have loosed you today from the chains that [are] on your hand; if [it is] good in your eyes to come with me [to] Babylon, come, and I keep my eye on you: and if [it is] evil in your eyes to come with me to Babylon, refrain; see, all the land [is] before you, to where [it is] good, and to where [it is] right in your eyes to go—go.”
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 And while he does not reply—“Or turn back to Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon has appointed over the cities of Judah, and dwell with him in the midst of the people, or wherever it is right in your eyes to go—go.” And the chief of the executioners gives a ration and gift to him, and sends him away,
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 and Jeremiah comes to Gedaliah son of Ahikam, to Mizpah, and dwells with him in the midst of the people who are left in the land.
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 all the heads of the forces that [are] in the field hear, they and their men, that the king of Babylon has appointed Gedaliah son of Ahikam over the land, and that he has charged him [with] men, and women, and infants, and of the poor of the land, of those who have not been removed to Babylon;
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 they come to Gedaliah at Mizpah, even Ishmael son of Nethaniah, and Johanan and Jonathan [the] sons of Kareah, and Seraiah son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah son of the Maachathite, they and their men.
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 Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, swears to them and to their men, saying, “Do not be afraid of serving the Chaldeans, abide in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it is well for you;
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 and I, behold, I am dwelling in Mizpah to stand before the Chaldeans who have come to us, and you, gather wine, and summer fruit, and oil, and put [them] in your vessels, and dwell in your cities that you have taken.”
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 And also all the Jews who [are] in Moab, and among the sons of Ammon, and in Edom, and who [are] in all the lands, have heard that the king of Babylon has given a remnant to Judah, and that he has appointed over them Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan,
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 and all the Jews from all the places to where they have been driven, return and enter the land of Judah, to Gedaliah, to Mizpah, and they gather wine and summer fruit—to multiply abundantly.
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 And Johanan son of Kareah, and all the heads of the forces that [are] in the field, have come to Gedaliah at Mizpah,
Yohanan ɗan Kareya da dukan manyan sojoji da suke a karkara suka zo wurin Gedaliya a Mizfa
14 and they say to him, “Do you really know that Ba‘alis king of the sons of Ammon has sent Ishmael son of Nethaniah to strike your soul?” And Gedaliah son of Ahikam has not given credence to them.
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.
15 And Johanan son of Kareah has spoken to Gedaliah in secret, in Mizpah, saying, “Please let me go, and I strike Ishmael son of Nethaniah, and no one knows; why does he strike your soul? And all Judah who are gathered to you have been scattered, and the remnant of Judah has perished.”
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?”
16 And Gedaliah son of Ahikam says to Johanan son of Kareah, “You do not do this thing, for you are speaking falsehood concerning Ishmael.”
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.”
