Jeremiah 21
1 The word which came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, when king Zedekiah sent to him Pashhur the son of Malchijah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, saying,
Magana ta zo wa Irmiya daga Ubangiji sa’ad da Sarki Zedekiya ya aiki Fashhur ɗan Malkiya da firist Zefaniya ɗan Ma’asehiya gare shi. Suka ce masa,
2 "Please inquire of Jehovah for us; for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon makes war against us: perhaps Jehovah will deal with us according to all his wondrous works, that he may go up from us."
“Yanzu ka roƙi mana Ubangiji saboda Nebukadnezzar sarkin Babilon yana kawo mana yaƙi. Wataƙila Ubangiji zai yi mana waɗansu abubuwa banmamaki kamar a lokacin baya don yă janye daga gare mu.”
3 Then Jeremiah said to them, "You shall tell Zedekiah:
Amma Irmiya ya amsa musu ya ce, “Ku faɗa wa Zedekiya cewa,
4 'Thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel, "Look, I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands, with which you fight against the king of Babylon, and against the Chaldeans who besiege you, without the walls; and I will gather them into the midst of this city.
‘Ga abin da Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila, yake cewa ina shirin juya kayan yaƙin da suke a hannuwanka a kanka, waɗanda kake amfani don ka yaƙi sarki Babilon da kuma Babiloniyawa waɗanda suka kewaye katangar birnin, zan kuwa tsiba kayan yaƙinka a tsakiyar birnin nan.
5 I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, even in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation.
Ni da kaina zan yi yaƙi da kai da miƙaƙƙen hannu mai ƙarfi cikin fushi da hasala mai girma.
6 I will strike the inhabitants of this city, both man and animal: they shall die of a great pestilence.
Zan kashe waɗanda suke zaune a wannan birni, mutane da dabbobi za su kuwa mutu da muguwar annoba.
7 Afterward," says Jehovah, "I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah, and his servants, and the people, even such as are left in this city from the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those who seek their life: and he shall strike them with the edge of the sword; he shall not spare them, neither have pity, nor have mercy."'
Bayan wannan, in ji Ubangiji, zan ba da Zedekiya sarkin Yahuda, fadawansa da kuma mutanen wannan birni waɗanda suka tsira daga annoba, takobi da kuma yunwa, ga Nebukadnezzar sarkin Babilon da kuma ga abokan gābansu waɗanda suke neman ransu. Zai kashe su da takobi; ba zai ji tausayinsu ko ya yi musu jinƙai ko ya yi juyayinsu ba.’
8 To this people you shall say, "Thus says Jehovah: 'Look, I set before you the way of life and the way of death.
“Bugu da ƙari, ka faɗa wa mutanen cewa, ‘Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, ga shi na sa a gabanku hanyar rai da hanyar mutuwa.
9 He who remains in this city shall die by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence; but he who goes out, and passes over to the Chaldeans who besiege you, he shall live, and his life shall be to him for a prey.
Duk wanda ya zauna a wannan birni zai mutu ta takobi, yunwa ko annoba. Amma duk wanda ya fita ya miƙa kansa ga Babiloniyawa waɗanda suka kewaye ku zai rayu; zai kuɓutar da ransa.
10 For I have set my face on this city for evil, and not for good,' says Jehovah: 'it shall be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire.'
Na ƙudura in yi wa wannan birni lahani ba alheri ba, in ji Ubangiji. Za a ba da shi a hannuwan sarki Babilon, zai kuwa hallaka shi da wuta.’
11 Touching the house of the king of Judah, hear the word of Jehovah:
“Ban haka ma, ka faɗa wa gidan sarauta na Yahuda cewa, ‘Ku saurari maganar Ubangiji;
12 'House of David, thus says Jehovah, "Execute justice in the morning, and deliver him who is robbed out of the hand of the oppressor, lest my wrath go forth like fire, and burn so that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.
Ya gidan Dawuda ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, “‘Ku yi gaskiya kowace safiya; ku kuɓuta daga hannun mai danniya wannan da aka yi wa fashi in ba haka ba hasalata za tă sauka ta kuma ci kamar wuta saboda muguntar da kuka aikata za tă ci babu wanda zai kashe ta.
13 Look, I am against you, O inhabitant of the valley, and of the rock of the plain," says Jehovah; "you that say, 'Who shall come down against us? Or who shall enter into our habitations?'
Ina gāba da ku, mazaunan Urushalima, ku da kuke zama a bisa wannan kwari kan dutsen da yake a fili, in ji Ubangiji ku da kuke cewa, “Wa zai iya yaƙe mu? Wa zai iya shiga mafakarmu?”
14 I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings," says Jehovah; "and I will kindle a fire in her forest, and it shall devour all that is around her."'"
Zan hukunta ku gwargwadon ayyukanku, in ji Ubangiji. Zan sa wuta a kurminku da za tă cinye kome da yake kewaye da ku.’”
