Ezekiel 17
1 The word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Maganar Ubangiji ta zo mini cewa,
2 "Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable to the house of Israel;
“Ɗan mutum, ka shirya kacici-kacici ka faɗa wa gidan Isra’ila misali.
3 and say, 'Thus says the LORD: "A great eagle with great wings and long feathers, full of feathers, which had various colors, came to Lebanon, and took the top of the cedar:
Ka ce musu, ‘Ga abin da Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka yana cewa babbar gaggafa mai manyan fikafikai, dogayen gasusuwa da gasusuwa da yawa masu launi iri-iri ta zo Lebanon. Ta cire kan al’ul,
4 he cropped off the topmost of the young twigs of it, and carried it to a land of traffic; he set it in a city of merchants.
ta karya kan tohonsa da yake can bisansa ta kai ƙasar ciniki, inda ta shuka shi a birnin’yan kasuwa.
5 He took also of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful soil; he placed it beside many waters; he set it as a willow tree.
“‘Ta ɗebi waɗansu irin ƙasarku ta sa a ƙasa mai taƙi. Ta shuka shi kamar itacen wardi kusa da ruwa mai yawa,
6 It grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature, whose branches turned toward him, and its roots were under him: so it became a vine, and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs.
ya kuwa yi toho ya zama kuringa gajeruwa mai yaɗuwa. Rassanta suka tanƙwasa wajen gaggafar, amma saiwoyinta suka zauna a ƙarƙashinta. Ta haka ta zama kuringa, ta yi rassa ta kuma fid da ganyaye.
7 '"There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers: and look, this vine bent its roots toward him, and shot forth its branches toward him, from the beds of its plantation, that he might water it.
“‘Akwai kuma wata babbar gaggafa mai manyan fikafikai da gashi mai yawa. Kuringan nan ta tanƙwasa saiwoyinta zuwa wajen wannan gaggafa daga inda aka shuka ta, ta kuma miƙe rassanta wajenta don gaggafar ta yi mata banruwa.
8 It was planted in a good soil by many waters, that it might bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit, that it might be a goodly vine."'
An shuka ta a ƙasa mai kyau kusa da ruwa mai yawa don tă yi rassa masu yawa, ta ba da’ya’ya ta kuma zama kuringa mai daraja.’
9 "Say, 'Thus says the LORD: "Shall it prosper? Shall he not pull up its roots, and cut off its fruit, that it may wither; that all its fresh springing leaves may wither? And not by a strong arm or many people can it be raised from its roots.
“Ka gaya musu cewa, ‘Ga abin da Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka yana cewa wannan za tă ci gaba? Ba za a tumɓuke ta a kuma kakkaɓe’ya’yanta don ta bushe ba? Dukan sababbin tohonta za su bushe. Ba sai da hannu mai ƙarfi, ko kuwa da yawan mutane za a tumɓuke ta daga saiwoyinta ba.
10 Yes, look, being planted, shall it prosper? Shall it not utterly wither, when the east wind touches it? It shall wither in the beds where it grew."'"
Ko da an sāke shuka ta, za tă yi amfani ne? Ba za tă bushe gaba ɗaya sa’ad da iskar gabas ta hura ba, tă bushe a ƙasar da ta yi girma?’”
11 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Sai maganar Ubangiji ta zo mini cewa,
12 "Say now to the rebellious house, 'Do you not know what these things mean?' Tell them, 'Look, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, and took its king, and its princes, and brought them to him to Babylon:
“Ka faɗa wa gidan’yan tawayen nan, ‘Ba ka san abin da waɗannan abubuwa suke nufi ba?’ Ka faɗa musu cewa, ‘Sarkin Babilon ya tafi Urushalima ya tafi da sarkinta da kuma manyan garinta, ya dawo da su Babilon.
13 and he took of the royal family, and made a covenant with him; he also brought him under an oath, and took away the mighty of the land;
Sa’an nan ya ɗauki wani daga iyalin sarauta ya yi yarjejjeniya da shi, ya sa shi ya yi rantsuwa. Ya kuma tafi da shugabannin ƙasar,
14 that the kingdom might be base, that it might not lift itself up, but that by keeping his covenant it might stand.
don a raunana masarautar, kada tă ƙara tashi, amma ta tsaya dai kan cika yarjejjeniyarsa.
15 But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt, that they might give him horses and many people. Shall he prosper? Shall he escape who does such things? Shall he break the covenant, and yet escape?
Amma sarkin nan ya yi tawaye a kan sarkin Babilon ta wurin aika jakadunsa zuwa Masar don a ba shi dawakai da sojoji masu yawa. Zai ci nasara? Shi da ya yi wannan abu zai tsira? Zai iya taka yarjejjeniya har ya tsere?
16 "'As I live,' says the LORD, 'surely in the place where the king dwells who made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he broke, even with him in the midst of Babylon he shall die.
“‘Muddin in raye, in ji Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka, zai mutu a Babilon, a ƙasar sarkin nan da ya naɗa shi, domin bai cika rantsuwa da alkawarin da ya yi ba.
17 Neither shall Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company help him in the war, when they cast up mounds and build forts, to cut off many persons.
Fir’auna da yawan sojojinsa da kuma yawan jama’arsa ba zai zama da taimako gare shi a yaƙi ba, sa’ad da sarkin Babilon zai gina mahaurai ya kuma yi ƙawanya don yă hallaka rayuka masu yawa.
18 For he has despised the oath by breaking the covenant; and look, he had given his hand, and yet has done all these things; he shall not escape.'
Bai cika rantsuwa ba ta wurin take alkawari. Domin sarkin Isra’ila ya ƙulla alkawari ya kuma aikata dukan waɗannan abubuwa, ba zai tsira ba.
19 "Therefore thus says the LORD: 'As I live, surely my oath that he has despised, and my covenant that he has broken, I will even bring it on his own head.
“‘Saboda haka ga abin da Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka ya ce muddin ina raye, zan nemi hakkin rantsuwata da ya ƙi cikawa da kuma alkawarin da ya take.
20 I will spread my net on him, and he shall be taken in my snare, and I will bring him to Babylon, and will enter into judgment with him there for his trespass that he has trespassed against me.
Zan kafa masa tarkona, zai kuma fāɗi a tarkona. Zan kawo shi a Babilon in kuma hukunta shi a can domin ya yi mini rashin aminci.
21 All the choice men among all his troups will fall by the sword, and those who remain shall be scattered toward every wind: and you shall know that I, the LORD, have spoken it.'
Dukan sojojinsa zaɓaɓɓu za a kashe su da takobi, za a kuma watsar da waɗanda suka ragu ko’ina. Ta haka za ku san cewa Ni Ubangiji na faɗa.
22 "Thus says the LORD: 'I will also take of the lofty top of the cedar, and will set it; I will crop off from the topmost of its young twigs a tender one, and I will plant it on a high and lofty mountain:
“‘Ga abin da Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka yana cewa ni kaina zan cire toho a kan itacen al’ul da yake can bisa in shuka; zan kuma karya ƙanƙanin reshe daga can bisan tohon in shuka a dutse mai tsayi.
23 in the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it; and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a goodly cedar: and under it shall dwell all birds of every wing; in the shade of its branches shall they dwell.
A ƙwanƙolin dutsen Isra’ila zan shuka shi; zai yi rassa yă ba da’ya’ya yă kuma zama al’ul mai daraja. Tsuntsaye iri-iri za su yi sheƙa a cikinsa; za su sami mafaka a inuwar rassansa.
24 All the trees of the field shall know that I, the LORD, have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish; I, the LORD, have spoken and have done it.'"
Dukan itatuwan jeji za su san cewa Ni Ubangiji ne mai sa manyan itatuwa su zama ƙanana in kuma sa ƙananan itatuwa su zama manya. Nakan sa ɗanyen itace ya bushe, busasshen itace kuma ya zama ɗanye. “‘Ni Ubangiji na faɗa, zan kuma aikata.’”
