Jeremiah 2
1 The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
Maganar Ubangiji ta zo mini cewa,
2 “Go and proclaim in the hearing of Jerusalem. Say, 'Yahweh says this: I have called to mind on your behalf the covenant faithfulness in your youthfulness, your love at the time when we were engaged, when you went after me in the wilderness, the land that was not sown.
“Tafi ka yi shela a kunnuwar Urushalima cewa, “‘Na tuna da amincin ƙuruciyarki, yadda kamar amarya kika ƙaunace ni kika kuma bi ni cikin hamada, cikin ƙasar da ba a yi shuka ba.
3 Israel was set apart to Yahweh, the firstfruits of his harvest! All who ate from the firstfruits were held guilty; disaster came upon them—this is Yahweh's declaration.'”
Isra’ila tsattsarka ce ga Ubangiji, nunan fari na girbinsa; dukan waɗanda suka cinye ta an same su da laifi, masifa kuwa ta same su,’” in ji Ubangiji.
4 Hear the word of Yahweh, house of Jacob, all you clans of the house of Israel.
Ka saurari maganar Ubangiji, ya gidan Yaƙub, dukanku zuriyar gidan Isra’ila.
5 Yahweh says this, “What did your fathers find wrong with me, that they went far from following me? That they went after useless idols and became useless themselves?
Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, “Wane laifi ne kakanninku sun same ni da shi, da suka tsaya nesa da ni? Sun bi gumakan banza su kansu suka kuma zama banza da kansu.
6 They did not say, 'Where is Yahweh, who brought us up from the land of Egypt? Where is Yahweh, who led us to the wilderness, into the land of the Arabah and pits, in a land of drought and deep darkness, a land through which no one passes and where no one lives?'
Ba su yi tambaya, ‘Ina Ubangiji, wanda ya fitar da su daga Masar ya bishe su cikin jeji cikin hamada da kwazazzabai ƙasa mai fări da kuma duhu, ƙasar da ba kowa mai ratsa ta ba kowa kuma mai zama a cikinta?’
7 But I brought you to the land of Carmel, to eat its fruit and other good things! Yet when you came, you defiled my land, you made my inheritance an abomination!
Na kawo ku zuwa ƙasa mai albarka don ku ci amfaninta da abubuwa masu yalwar da take bayarwa. Amma kuka zo kuka ƙazantar da ƙasata kuka kuma mai da gādona abin ƙyama.
8 The priest did not say, 'Where is Yahweh?' and the experts in the law did not care about me! The shepherds transgressed against me. The prophets prophesied for Baal and walked after unprofitable things.
Firistoci ba su yi tambaya, ‘Ina Ubangiji ba.’ Waɗanda suke amfani da doka ba su san ni ba; shugabanni suka yi mini tawaye. Annabawa suka yi annabci ta wurin Ba’al, suna bin gumakan banza.
9 So I will still accuse you—this is Yahweh's declaration—and I will accuse your sons' sons.
“Saboda haka ina sāke tuhumarku,” in ji Ubangiji. “Zan kuma tuhumi’ya’ya’ya’yanku.
10 For cross over to the coasts of Kittim and look. Send messengers out to Kedar and find out and see if there has ever before been anything like this.
Ku ƙetare zuwa tsibiran Kittim ku gani, ku aika zuwa Kedar ku duba da kyau; ku ga ko an taɓa yin wani abu haka.
11 Has a nation exchanged gods, even though they were not gods? But my people have exchanged their glory for what cannot help them.
Akwai wata al’ummar da ta canja allolinta? (Duk da haka su ba alloli ba ne sam.) Amma mutanena sun musayar da ɗaukakarsu da gumakan banza.
12 Shudder, heavens, because of this! Be shocked and horrified—this is Yahweh's declaration.
Ku girgiza saboda wannan, ya sammai, ku kuma razana don tsoro mai girma,” in ji Ubangiji.
13 For my people have committed two evils against me: They have abandoned the springs of living waters, and they have dug out cisterns for themselves, broken cisterns that cannot hold water.
“Mutanena sun aikata zunubai guda biyu. Sun rabu da ni, ni da nake maɓulɓular ruwan rai, sun kuma haƙa tankunan ruwansu, tankuna ruwan da suka fashe da ba za su iya riƙe ruwa ba.
14 Is Israel a slave? Was he born in his master's home? So why has he become plunder?
Isra’ila bawa ne, bawa ne ta wurin haihuwa? Me ya sa ya zama ganima?
15 Young lions roared against him. They made a lot of noise and made his land a horror. His cities are destroyed without any inhabitants.
Zakoki sun yi ruri; sun yi masa ruri. Sun lalatar da ƙasarsa; an ƙone garuruwansa aka kuma watse daga ciki.
16 Also, the people of Memphis and Tahpanhes will shave your skull.
Haka ma, mutanen Memfis da Tafanes sun aske rawanin kanka
17 Did you not do this to yourselves when you abandoned Yahweh your God, while he was leading you along the way?
Ba kai ne ba ka jawo wa kanka ba ta wurin rabuwa da Ubangiji Allahnka sa’ad da ya bi da kai a hanya?
18 So now, why take the road to Egypt and drink the waters of Shihor? Why take the road to Assyria and drink the waters of the Euphrates River?
To, me ya sa za ka Masar don shan ruwa daga Shihor? Kuma me ya sa za ka Assuriya don shan ruwa daga Kogi?
19 Your wickedness rebukes you, and your faithlessness punishes you. So think about it and understand that it is wicked and bitter when you forsake Yahweh your God, and have no fear of me—this is the declaration of Lord Yahweh of hosts.
Muguntarka za tă hukunta ka; jan bayanka zai tsawata maka. Sai ka lura ka kuma gane yaya mugu da kuma ɗaci suke a gare ka sa’ad da ka rabu da Ubangiji Allahnka kuma ba ka tsorona,” in ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki.
20 For I broke your yoke that you had in ancient days; I tore your fetters off you. Still you said, 'I will not serve!' since you bowed down on every high hill and beneath every leafy tree, you adulterer.
“Tun da daɗewa ka karya karkiyarka ka kuma tsintsinke sarƙoƙinka; sai ka ce, ‘Ba zan bauta maka ba!’ Tabbatacce, a kan kowane tudu mai tsayi da kuma a ƙarƙashin kowane ɗanyen itace ka kwanta kamar karuwa.
21 I planted you as a choice vine, completely from pure seed. How then have you have changed yourself into a corrupt, worthless vine?
Na shuka ka kamar zaɓaɓɓen inabi iri mai kyau da kuma wanda za a dogara a kai. Yaya kuma ka juya kana gāba da ni ka lalace, ka zama inabin jeji?
22 For even if you clean yourself in the river or wash with strong soap, your iniquity is a stain before me—this is the declaration of the Lord Yahweh.
Ko da yake ka wanke kanka da sabulu ka yi amfani da sabulu mai yawa, duk da haka har yanzu tabon laifinka yana nan a gabana,” in ji Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka.
23 How can you say, 'I am not defiled! I have not walked after the Baals'? Look at what you did in the valleys! Consider what you have done—you are a swift female camel running here and there,
“Yaya za ka ce, ‘Ban ƙazantu ba; ban bi Ba’al ba’? Duba yadda ka yi a cikin kwari; ka ga abin da ka yi. Kai kamar makwaɗaciyar raƙuma ce mai zafin gudu kana gudu nan da can,
24 a wild donkey accustomed to the wilderness, in her heat sniffing the wind! Who can restrain her lust? None of the males need wear themselves out pursuing her; at mating time they will find her.
kamar jakar jejin da ta saba da hamada, mai busar iska cikin son barbaranta sa’ad da take son barbara wa zai iya hana ta? Jakin da yake nemanta, ba ya bukatar wahalar da kansa; a lokacin barbara za a same ta.
25 You must restrain your feet from becoming bare and your throat from being thirsty! But you have said, 'It is hopeless! No, I love strangers and go after them!'
Kada ka yi gudu har ƙafafunka su zama ba takalma maƙogwaronka kuma ya bushe. Amma sai ka ce, ‘Ba amfani! Ina ƙaunar baƙin alloli kuma dole in bi su.’
26 Like the shame of a thief when he is found, so the house of Israel will be ashamed— they, their kings, their princes, and their priests and prophets!
“Kamar yadda akan kunyatar da ɓarawo sa’ad da aka kama shi, haka gidan Isra’ila zai sha kunya, su, sarakunansu da shugabanninsu, firistocinsu da kuma annabawansu.
27 These are the ones who say to the tree, 'You are my father,' and to the stone, 'You gave birth to me.' For their back faces me and not their faces. Nevertheless, they say in the time of troubles, 'Arise and save us!'
Kuna ce wa itace, ‘Kai ne mahaifina,’ ga dutse kuma, ‘Kai ne ka haife ni.’ Sun juye mini bayansu ba fuskokinsu ba; duk da haka sa’ad da suna cikin wahala, sukan ce, ‘Zo ka cece mu!’
28 Yet where are the gods that you made for yourselves? Let them arise if they wish to save you in your time of troubles, for your idols equal your cities in number, Judah!
To ina allolin da kuka yi wa kanku? Bari su zo in suna iya cetonku sa’ad da kuke cikin wahala! Gama kuna da alloli masu yawa kamar yadda kuke da garuruwa, ya Yahuda.
29 So why do you accuse me of doing wrong? All of you have sinned against me—this is Yahweh's declaration.
“Me ya sa kuke tuhumana? Dukanku kun yi mini tawaye,” in ji Ubangiji.
30 I have punished your people in vain. They would not accept discipline. Your sword has devoured your prophets like a destructive lion!
“A banza na hukunta mutanenku; ba su yi gyara ba. Takobinku ya cinye annabawanku kamar zaki mai jin yunwa.
31 You who belong to this generation! Pay attention to my word, the word of Yahweh! Have I been a wilderness to Israel? Or a land of deep darkness? Why would my people say, 'Let us wander around, we will not go to you anymore'?
“Ku na wannan zamani, ku saurari maganar Ubangiji. “Na zama wa Isra’ila hamada ne ko ƙasa mai babban duhu? Me ya sa mutanena suke cewa, ‘Muna da’yanci mu yi ta yawo; ba za mu ƙara zuwa wurinka ba’?
32 Will a virgin forget her jewelry, a bride her veils? Yet my people have forgotten me for days without number!
Budurwa za tă manta da kayan adonta amarya ta manta da kayan adon aurenta? Duk da haka mutanena sun manta da ni, kwanaki ba iyaka.
33 How well you make your way to look for love. You have even taught your ways to wicked women.
Kuna da azanci sosai a bin masoya! Kai, ko mafiya muni cikin mata tana iya koya daga hanyoyinku.
34 The blood that was the life of innocent, poor people has been found on your clothes. These people were not discovered in acts of burglary.
A rigunanku mutane kan sami jinin matalauta marasa laifi, ko da yake ba ku kama su suna fasawa su shiga ba. Duk da haka
35 Yet you say, 'I am innocent; surely his anger has turned away from me.' But look! I will bring down judgment on you because you say, 'I have not sinned.'
kuna cewa, ‘Ba ni da laifi; ba ya fushi da ni.’ Amma zan zartar da hukunci a kanku domin kun ce, ‘Ban yi zunubi ba.’
36 Why do you treat so very lightly this change in your ways? You will also be disappointed by Egypt, just as you were by Assyria.
Don me kuke yawo da yawa haka, kuna ta canjin hanyoyinku? Masar za tă kunyata ku yadda kuka sha kunya a wurin Assuriya.
37 You will also go out from there dejected, with your hands on your head, for Yahweh has rejected the ones whom you trusted, so you will not be helped by them.”
Za ku kuma bar wurin da hannuwanku a kanku, gama Ubangiji ya ƙi waɗanda kuka amince da su; ba za ku zama abin taimako a gare su ba.
