Jeremiah 21
1 The word came to Jeremiah from Yahweh when King Zedekiah sent Pashhur son of Malkijah and Zephaniah son of Maaseiah the priest to him, and they said,
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 “Seek advice from Yahweh on our behalf, for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon is making war on us. Perhaps Yahweh will do miracles for us, as in times past, and will make him withdraw 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 So Jeremiah said to them, “This is what you must say to Zedekiah,
Amma Irmiya ya amsa musu ya ce, “Ku faɗa wa Zedekiya cewa,
4 'Yahweh, God of Israel, says this: See, I am about to turn back the instruments of war that are in your hand, with which you are fighting against the king of Babylon and the Chaldeans who are closing you in from outside the walls! For I will gather them in the middle 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 Then I myself will fight against you with a raised hand and a strong arm, and with wrath, fury, and great anger.
Ni da kaina zan yi yaƙi da kai da miƙaƙƙen hannu mai ƙarfi cikin fushi da hasala mai girma.
6 For I will attack the inhabitants of this city, both man and beast. They will die in a severe plague.
Zan kashe waɗanda suke zaune a wannan birni, mutane da dabbobi za su kuwa mutu da muguwar annoba.
7 After this—this is Yahweh's declaration—Zedekiah king of Judah, his servants, the people, and whoever remains in this city after the plague, the sword, and the famine, I will give them all into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those seeking their life. Then he will kill them with the edge of the sword. He will not pity them, spare them, or have compassion.'
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 Then to this people you must say, 'Yahweh says this: See, I am about to place 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 Anyone staying in this city will die by the sword, famine, and plague; but anyone going out and falling on his knees before the Chaldeans who have closed in against you will live. He will escape with his life.
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 against this city in order to bring disaster and not to bring good—this is Yahweh's declaration. It has been given into the hand of the king of Babylon and he will burn it.'
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 Concerning the house of the king of Judah, listen to the word of Yahweh.
“Ban haka ma, ka faɗa wa gidan sarauta na Yahuda cewa, ‘Ku saurari maganar Ubangiji;
12 House of David, Yahweh says, 'Bring about justice in the morning. Rescue the one who has been robbed by the hand of the oppressor, or my fury will go out like fire and burn, and there is no one who can quench it, because of your evil deeds.
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 See, inhabitant of the valley! I am against you, rock of the plain—this is Yahweh's declaration— I am against anyone who is saying, “Who will come down to attack us?” or “Who will enter our houses?”
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 have assigned the fruit of your practices to come against you—this is Yahweh's declaration— and I will light a fire in the thickets, and it will consume everything around it.'”
Zan hukunta ku gwargwadon ayyukanku, in ji Ubangiji. Zan sa wuta a kurminku da za tă cinye kome da yake kewaye da ku.’”
