Jeremiah 40

1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, after that Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had let him go from Ramah, when he had taken him being bound in chains among all the captives of Jerusalem and Judah, who were carried away captive 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 The captain of the guard took Jeremiah, and said to him, "The LORD your God pronounced this evil on 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 the LORD has brought it, and done according as he spoke: because you have sinned against the LORD, and have not obeyed his voice, therefore this thing has come on 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 Now, look, I release you this day from the chains which are on your hand. If it seems good to you to come with me into Babylon, come, and I will take care of you; but if it seems bad to you to come with me into Babylon, do not: look, all the land is before you; where it seems good and right to you to go, there 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 Now while he had not yet gone back, "Go back then," he said, "to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon has made governor over the cities of Judah, and dwell with him among the people; or go wherever it seems right to you to go." So the captain of the guard gave him food and a present, and let him go.

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 Then went Jeremiah to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah, and lived with him among the people who were 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 Now when all the captains of the forces who were in the fields, even they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam governor in the land, and had committed to him men, and women, and children, and of the poorest of the land, of those who were not carried away captive 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 then they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan and Jonathan the sons of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah the son of the Maacathite, 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 Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan swore to them and to their men, saying, "Do not be afraid to serve the Chaldeans: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with 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 As for me, look, I will dwell at Mizpah, to stand before the Chaldeans who shall come to us: but you, gather wine and summer fruits 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 Likewise when all the Jews who were in Moab, and among the people of Ammon, and in Edom, and who were in all the countries, heard that the king of Babylon had left a remnant of Judah, and that he had set over them Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the 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 then all the Jews returned out of all places where they were driven, and came to the land of Judah, to Gedaliah, to Mizpah, and gathered wine and summer fruits very much.

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 Moreover Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were in the fields, came to Gedaliah to Mizpah,

Yohanan ɗan Kareya da dukan manyan sojoji da suke a karkara suka zo wurin Gedaliya a Mizfa

14 and said to him, "Do you know that Baalis the king of the people of Ammon has sent Ishmael the son of Nethaniah to take your life?" But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam did not believe 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 Then Johanan the son of Kareah spoke to Gedaliah in Mizpah secretly, saying, "Please let me go, and I will kill Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and no man shall know it: why should he take your life, that all the Jews who are gathered to you should be scattered, and the remnant of Judah perish?"

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 But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam said to Johanan the son of Kareah, "You shall not do this thing; for you speak falsely of 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.”
