< Jeremiah 49 >

1 [This message is] about the Ammon people-group. This is what Yahweh says: “There are [RHQ] plenty of Israeli people left to occupy [the land of the tribe of] Gad. So, why are [RHQ] [the people who worship the god] Molech living in those towns?
Game da Ammonawa. Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, “Isra’ila ba shi da’ya’ya maza ne? Ba shi da magāda ne? To, me ya sa Molek ya mallaki Gad? Me ya sa mutanensa suka zama a garuruwansa?
2 There will be a time when I will sound the battle-cry [for their enemies] to attack [their capital city], Rabbah. [Then] it will become a heap of ruins, and [all] the nearby towns will be burned. Then [the people of] Israel will again possess the land that the Ammon people-group took away from them.
Amma kwanaki suna zuwa,” in ji Ubangiji, “sa’ad da zan yi kirarin yaƙi a kan Rabba ta Ammonawa; zai zama tarin juji, za a sa wuta a ƙauyukan da suke kewayenta. Sa’an nan Isra’ila zai kori waɗanda suka kore shi,” in ji Ubangiji.
3 You people of Heshbon [city] [MTY], wail, because Ai [town nearby] will be destroyed. You people of Rabbah [city], weep; put on (rough clothing/sackcloth) [to show you are mourning]; run back and forth [in confusion] inside the city walls, because [your god] Milcom, along with its priests and officials, will be taken away (in exile/to other countries).
“Ki yi kuka, ya Heshbon, gama an hallaka Ai! Ku tā da murya ku yi kuka, ya mazaunan Rabba! Ku sa tufafin makoki; ku ruga nan da can a cikin katanga, gama Molek zai tafi bauta, tare da firistocinsa da kuma fadawansa.
4 You are [RHQ] very proud of your very fertile valleys, [but they will soon be ruined]. You rebellious people, you trusted in your wealth, and you said, ‘Certainly no [RHQ] army will be able to attack us!’
Me ya sa kuke taƙama da kwarurukanku, taƙama da kwarurukanku masu amfani? Ya ke diya marar aminci, kin dogara a wadatarki kika kuma ce, ‘Wa zai iya fāɗa mini?’
5 But listen to this: 'I, the Commander of the armies of angels, will cause you to become terrified. You will all be forced to flee [to other countries], and no one will be able to bring you together [again].'
Zan kawo razana a kanki daga waɗanda suke kewaye da ke,” in ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki. “Za a kore kowannenku, babu wani da zai tattara masu gudun hijira.
6 But some day I will enable the Ammon people-group to return to their land. [That will surely happen, because I, ] Yahweh, have said it.”
“Duk da haka, daga baya, zan maido da wadatar Ammonawa,” in ji Ubangiji.
7 [This message is] about the Edom people-group. This is what the Commander of the armies of angels says: “It seems that [RHQ] there are no wise people in Teman [district in Edom]! There are no people left who can give others [good] advice. The people who were wise [PRS] have disappeared.
Game da Edom. Ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki yana cewa, “Babu sauran hikima a Teman ne? Shawara ta ɓace daga masu basira ne? Hikimarsu ta ruɓe ne?
8 You people of Dedan [city in the south of Edom], turn and flee and hide in deep [caves], because when I cause the Edom people-group to experience disaster, I will punish you, too.
Ku juya ku gudu, ku ɓuya a cikin kogwanni masu zurfi, ku da kuke zama a Dedan, gama zan kawo masifa a kan Isuwa a lokacin da zan hukunta shi.
9 Those who harvest grapes always [RHQ] leave some on the vines. When thieves come at night, they surely [RHQ] steal only as much as they want.
In masu tsinkar’ya’yan inabi suka zo maka, ba za su rage’ya’yan inabi kaɗan ba? In ɓarayi suka zo da dare, ba za su sata abin da kawai suke bukata ba?
10 But I will cause everything in Edom to be destroyed, and there will be nothing left, and there will be no place for people to hide. [Many of] [HYP] the children, their relatives and their neighbors, will die, and Edom will not exist any more.
Amma zan washe Isuwa sarai; zan bubbuɗe wuraren ɓuyarsa, don kada yă ɓoye kansa.’Ya’yansa, danginsa da maƙwabtansa za su hallaka, ba kuwa zai ƙara kasancewa ba.
11 But I will protect the orphans, and the widows [also] will [be able to] depend on me [to help them].”
Ka bar marayunka; zan tsare ransu. Gwaurayenka kuma za su dogara a gare ni.”
12 And this is [also] what Yahweh says: “If those who do not deserve to suffer [MET] must suffer, you people of Edom must [RHQ] suffer much more [DOU]! You will not escape being punished.
Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, “In waɗanda ba su dace su sha kwaf ɗin ba suka sha shi, me ya sa za ka kuɓuta? Ba za ka kuɓuta ba, sai ka sha shi.
13 I, Yahweh, have solemnly promised, using my own name, that [your chief city] Bozrah will become a place that people will be horrified about. It will be a heap of ruins. People will make fun of it and use its name when they curse people. All the nearby towns and villages will be a ruins forever.”
Na rantse da kaina,” in ji Ubangiji, “cewa Bozra za tă zama kufai da kuma abin tsoro, abin dariya da abin la’ana; kuma dukan garuruwanta za su kasance kufai har abada.”
14 I heard this message from Yahweh: “I have sent an ambassador to [many] nations, [to tell them to] gather together to attack Edom. They must prepare for battle!”
Na ji saƙo daga Ubangiji cewa; an aiki jakada zuwa ga al’ummai ya ce, “Ku tattara kanku don ku fāɗa mata! Ku tashi don yaƙi!”
15 [And Yahweh says to the people of Edom, ] “I will cause your nation to become very unimportant among the [other] nations. They will all despise your country.
“Yanzu zan mai da kai ƙanƙani a cikin al’ummai abin reni a cikin mutane.
16 You have caused [people of other nations] to be terrified, and you [MTY] have been very proud, but you have deceived yourselves. You live in caves in the rock cliffs; [you think that you are safe there because] you live high up there. But even if you make your homes as high up as the eagles’ nests, I will cause you to come [crashing] down.
Tsoron da ka sa ake ji da kuma girman kan zuciyarka ya ruɗe ka, kai da kake zama a kogon dutse, kai da kake kan tudu. Ko da yake ka gina wa kanka sheƙa can bisa kamar na gaggafa, daga can zan sauko da kai ƙasa,” in ji Ubangiji.
17 Edom will become a place about which people are horrified; people who pass by will be horrified and will (gasp/be shocked) when they see the destruction.
“Edom za tă zama abin tsoro; dukan wanda ya wuce zai giggice ya yi tsaki saboda dukan mikinta.
18 Edom will be destroyed as [completely as] Sodom and Gomorrah and the nearby towns were destroyed [long ago]. [As a result, ] no one will live there [any more] [DOU].
Kamar yadda aka tumɓuke Sodom da Gomorra, tare da garuruwan da suke maƙwabtaka da su,” in ji Ubangiji, “haka ba wanda zai zauna a can; ba wani da zai zauna a cikinta.
19 I will come to Edom [suddenly] like [SIM] a lion comes out of the jungle and [leaps on the sheep that are] eating in the good pastureland. I will quickly chase the people of Edom from their land. And [then] I will appoint for them a leader whom I will choose; [I can do that] because there is no one [RHQ] like me who can object to what I do. No ruler can oppose me.
“Kamar zaki mai haurawa daga kurmin Urdun zuwa wurin kiwo mai kyau, zan kori Edom daga ƙasarta nan da nan. Wane ne zaɓaɓɓen da zan naɗa don wannan? Wane ne yake kama da ni kuma wa zai kalubalance ni? Kuma wane makiyayi ne zai yi gāba da ni?”
20 Listen to what I have planned to do to the people of Teman [town] and [the rest of] Edom: Even the little children will be dragged away, and I will completely get rid of the people [MET] who live there.
Saboda haka, ku ji abin da Ubangiji ya shirya a kan Edom, abin da ya nufa wa waɗanda suke zama a Teman. Za a ja ƙanana na garken tumaki a tafi; zai hallaka wurin kiwonsu sarai saboda su.
21 When Edom is destroyed, the noise [will be extremely great], with the result that the earth will shake, and the wailing of the people will be heard [as far away as] the Red Sea.
Amon fāɗuwarsu zai sa ƙasa ta girgiza; za a kuma ji muryar kukansu a Jan Teku.
22 Look! The enemy troops will swoop/rush down over Bozrah like an eagle spreads its wings when it swoops down [to seize an animal]. On that day, [even the strongest] warriors of Edom will [be afraid] like [SIM] a woman who is about to give birth.”
Duba! Gaggafa tana firiya tana kuma saukowa, tana buɗe fikafikanta a bisa Bozra. A wannan rana zukatan jarumawan Edom za su zama kamar macen da take naƙuda.
23 [This message is] about Damascus. [This is what Yahweh says]: “[The people in the nearby cities of] Hamath and Arpad are confused, because they have heard bad news [about Damascus]. They are very anxious and restless, like [SIM] a sea in a big storm.
Game da Damaskus. “Hamat da Arfad sun giggice, gama sun ji mummunar labari. Suna damuwa, sun damu kamar tekun da baya hutu.
24 The people of Damascus have become very weak, and [they all] have (panicked/fled [because] they are very afraid). The people are anguished and in pain like [SIM] a woman [experiences] who is about to give birth.
Damaskus ta karai ta juya don ta gudu tsoro kuma ya kama ta; wahala da zafi sun kama ta, zafi kamar na mace mai naƙuda.
25 That famous city, that I was [previously] pleased with, will be abandoned.
Me ya sa ba a tafi aka bar sanannen birnin nan ba, birnin da nake jin daɗi?
26 Its young men will fall in the streets. Its soldiers will all be killed in one day.
Tabbatacce, samarinta za su fāɗi a tituna; dukan sojojinta za su yi shiru a wannan rana,” in ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki.
27 And I, the Commander of the armies of angels, will start a fire to burn the walls that surround Damascus, and the palaces of [King] Ben-Hadad will be burned down.”
“Zan cinna wa katangar Damaskus wuta; za tă ci kagaran Ben-Hadad.”
28 [This is a message] about the Kedar [people-group] and the kingdom of Hazor which [the army of] Nebuchadnezzar King of Babylon attacked. This is what Yahweh says: “[I will cause an army to] advance to attack Kedar and destroy those people who live east [of Judah].
Game da Kedar da mulkokin Hazor, waɗanda Nebukadnezzar sarkin Babilon ya fāɗa wa. Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, “Tashi, ku fāɗa wa Kedar ku kuma hallaka mutanen Gabas.
29 Their tents and their flocks [of sheep] will be captured. The curtains [in their tents] and their camels and their other possessions will be taken away. [Everywhere] men will shout, ‘We are terrified [because terrible things are happening] all around us!’
Za a ƙwace tentunansu da garkunansu; za a tafi da mafakanta tare da dukan kayayyakinsu da raƙumansu. Mutane za su yi musu ihu, ‘Razana ko’ina!’
30 So [I, ] Yahweh, say, ‘Run away [quickly]! You people who live in Hazor, go and hide in deep [caves], because King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon wants to attack you [with his army]; he is planning to destroy you!’
“Ku yi maza ku gudu! Ku zauna a kogo masu zurfi, ku da kuke zama a Hazor,” in ji Ubangiji. “Nebukadnezzar sarkin Babilon ya shirya muku maƙarƙashiya; ya ƙulla maƙarƙashiya a kanku.
31 But I say [to Nebuchadnezzar], ‘Go up and attack that nation whose people feel secure; they do not have allies [who will help them] and do not have [walls with] gates that have bars in them.
“Ku tashi ku kuma fāɗa wa al’umma da sauƙi wadda take zama da ƙarfin hali,” in ji Ubangiji, “al’ummar da ba ta da ƙofofi ko ƙyamare; mutanenta suna zama su kaɗai.
32 Your troops will seize their camels and [other] livestock. I will scatter in every direction [IDM] those people who live in remote places (OR, who cut their hair short). I will cause them to experience disasters from every direction.
Za a washe raƙumansu, garkunansu mai girma za su zama ganima. Zan watsar da waɗanda suke a wurare masu nesa a ko’ina zan kuma kawo musu masifa a kowane gefe,” in ji Ubangiji.
33 Hazor will become a place where jackals/wolves live, and it will be deserted forever. No one will live there again; no one will settle there [DOU].’”
“Hazor za tă zama mazaunin diloli, kufai har abada. Ba wanda zai zauna a can; ba wanda zai zauna a cikinta.”
34 I received this message from Yahweh when King Zedekiah was starting to rule Judah.
Ga maganar Ubangiji da ta zo wa Irmiya annabi game da Elam, a farkon mulkin Zedekiya sarkin Yahuda.
35 This is what the Commander of the armies of angels says: “The men of Elam are famous (archers/men who shoot arrows well); that is how they have made their country very powerful. But I will get rid of them [MET].
Ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki yana cewa, “Ga shi, zan karye ƙarfin Elam, zaunannen ƙarfinsu.
36 I will bring their enemies from all directions [IDM, DOU], and they will scatter the people of Elam in all directions. The people of Elam will be exiled to every nation on the earth [LIT, HYP].
Zan kawo a kan Elam a kusurwoyi huɗu daga kusurwoyi huɗu na duniya; zan watsar da su zuwa kusurwoyi huɗu, kuma ba al’ummar da masu gudun hijirar Elam ba za su kai ba.
37 Because I am very angry with the people of Elam, I will enable their enemies to smash Elam; I will cause the people of Elam to experience great disasters. I will enable their enemies, who want to kill them, to pursue them [and kill them] with swords until I completely get rid of all of them.
Zan ragargaza Elam a gaban maƙiyansu, a gaban waɗanda suke neman ransu; zan kawo masifa a kansu, da zafin fushina,” in ji Ubangiji. “Zan runtume su da takobi sai na kawo ƙarshensu.
38 I, Yahweh, will judge them there [MTY], and [then] I will get rid of their king and [his] officials.
Zan sa kursiyina a Elam in kuma hallaka sarkinta da fadawanta,” in ji Ubangiji.
39 But some day, I will enable the people of Elam to return to their land. [That will surely happen because I, ] Yahweh, have said it.”
“Duk da haka zan maido da wadatar Elam a kwanaki masu zuwa,” in ji Ubangiji.
