< Jeremiah 13 >

1 Thus said Jehovah unto me, 'Go, and thou hast got for thee a girdle of linen, and hast placed it on thy loins, and into water thou dost not cause it to enter:'
Ga abin da Ubangiji ya faɗa mini, “Tafi ka sayo abin ɗamara na lilin ka sha ɗamara da shi, amma kada ka bari yă taɓa ruwa.”
2 and I get the girdle, according to the word of Jehovah, and I place [it] on my loins.
Saboda haka na sayo abin ɗamara, yadda Ubangiji ya umarce ni, na kuwa sha ɗamara da shi.
3 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me a second time, saying,
Sai maganar Ubangiji ta zo mini sau na biyu cewa,
4 'Take the girdle that thou hast got, that [is] on thy loins, and rise, go to Phrat, and hide it there in a hole of the rock;
“Ka ɗauki abin ɗamara da ka sayo, wanda ka ɗaura, ka tafi yanzu zuwa Fera ka ɓoye shi a cikin kogon dutse.”
5 and I go and hide it by Phrat, as Jehovah commanded me.
Saboda haka na tafi na ɓoye shi a Fera, yadda Ubangiji ya ce mini.
6 And it cometh to pass, at the end of many days, that Jehovah saith unto me, 'Rise, go to Phrat, and take thence the girdle, that I commanded thee to hide there;'
Bayan’yan kwanaki sai Ubangiji ya ce mini, “Tafi yanzu zuwa Fera ka ɗauko abin ɗamara da na ce maka ka ɓoye a can.”
7 and I go to Phrat, and dig, and take the girdle from the place where I had hid it; and lo, the girdle hath been marred, it is not profitable for anything.
Sai na tafi Fera da haka na ɗauko abin ɗamara daga wurin da na ɓoye shi, amma abin ɗamara yanzu ya lalace ya zama ba shi da amfani sam.
8 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, 'Thus said Jehovah:
Sai maganar Ubangiji ta zo mini cewa,
9 Thus do I mar the excellency of Judah, And the great excellency of Jerusalem.
“Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, ‘Haka zan lalatar da alfarmar Yahuda da yawan alfarmar Urushalima.
10 This evil people, who refuse to hear My words, Who walk in the stubbornness of their heart, And go after other gods to serve them, And to bow themselves to them, Yea it is — as this girdle, that is not profitable for anything.
Waɗannan mugayen mutane, waɗanda suka ƙi saurari maganata, waɗanda suka biye wa taurin zuciyarsu suka bi waɗansu alloli don su bauta su kuma yi musu sujada, za su zama kamar wannan abin ɗamara gaba ɗaya marasa amfani!
11 For, as the girdle cleaveth unto the loins of a man, So I caused to cleave unto Me The whole house of Israel, And the whole house of Judah, an affirmation of Jehovah, To be to Me for a people, and for a name, And for praise, and for beauty, And they have not hearkened.
Gama kamar yadda abin ɗamara kan kame gindin mutum tam, haka zan daure dukan gidan Isra’ila da dukan gidan Yahuda gare ni,’ in ji Ubangiji, ‘domin su zama jama’a, da suna, da yabo, da daraja a gare ni, amma sun ƙi ji.’
12 And thou hast said unto them this word, Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, 'Every bottle is full of wine,' And they have said unto thee: 'Do we not certainly know that every bottle is full of wine?'
“Faɗa musu cewa, ‘Ga abin da Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila, yana cewa a cika kowace salkar ruwan inabi da ruwan inabi.’ In kuwa suka ce maka, ‘Ba mu san cewa ya kamata a cika kowace salkar ruwan inabi da ruwan inabi ba?’
13 And thou hast said unto them, 'Thus said Jehovah: Lo, I am filling all the inhabitants of this land, And the kings who sit for David on his throne, And the priests, and the prophets, And all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, [With] drunkenness,
Sai ka ce musu, ‘Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, zan cika dukan waɗanda suke zama a ƙasar da buguwa, har ma da sarakunan da suke zama a kursiyin Dawuda, firistoci, annabawa da dukan waɗanda suke zaune a Urushalima.
14 And have dashed them one against another, And the fathers and the sons together, An affirmation of Jehovah, I do not pity, nor spare, nor have I mercy, So as not to destroy them.
Zan fyaɗe su a kan juna, iyaye da’ya’yansu maza, in ji Ubangiji. Tausayi ko jinƙai, ko juyayi ba zai hana ni hallaka su ba.’”
15 Hear, and give ear — be not haughty, For Jehovah hath spoken.
Ku ji ku kuma saurara, kada ku yi girman kai, gama Ubangiji ya yi magana.
16 Give ye to Jehovah your God honour, Before He doth cause darkness, And before your feet stumble on dark mountains, And ye have waited for light, And He hath made it for death-shade, And hath appointed [it] for thick darkness.
Ku ɗaukaka Ubangiji Allahnku kafin ya kawo duhu, kafin ƙafafunku su yi tuntuɓe a kan tuddai masu duhu. Za ku sa zuciya ganin haske amma zai mai da shi duhu mai kauri ya kuma canja shi zuwa duhu baƙi ƙirin.
17 And if ye do not hear it, In secret places doth my soul weep, because of pride, Yea, it weepeth sore, And the tear cometh down mine eyes, For the flock of Jehovah hath been taken captive.
Amma in ba ku saurara ba, zan yi kuka a ɓoye saboda girmankanku; idanuna za su yi kuka mai zafi, suna zub da hawaye ƙwarai, domin zan kwashe garken Ubangiji zuwa zaman bauta.
18 Say to the king and to the mistress: Make yourselves low — sit still, For come down have your principalities, The crown of your beauty.
Ka faɗa wa sarki da kuma mahaifiyar sarauniya cewa, “Ku sauko daga kursiyinku, gama rawaninku na ɗaukaka za su fāɗi daga kawunanku.”
19 The cities of the south have been shut up, And there is none opening, Judah hath been removed — all of her, She hath been removed completely —
Za a kulle biranen da suke a Negeb, kuma babu wanda zai buɗe su. Za a kwashe dukan Yahuda zuwa zaman bauta, za a kwashe su tas.
20 Lift up your eyes, and see those coming in from the north, Where [is] the drove given to thee, thy beautiful flock?
Ku tā da idanunku ku ga waɗanda suke zuwa daga arewa. Ina garken da aka ba ku tumakin da kuke taƙama a kai?
21 What dost thou say, when He looketh after thee? And thou — thou hast taught them [to be] over thee — leaders for head? Do not pangs seize thee as a travailing woman?
Me za ku ce sa’ad da Ubangiji ya naɗa muku waɗanda ku kanku kuka koya musu a matsayi abokai na musamman? Ashe, azaba ba za tă auko muku kamar na mace mai naƙuda ba?
22 And when thou dost say in thy heart, 'Wherefore have these met me?' For the abundance of thine iniquity Have thy skirts been uncovered, Have thy heels suffered violence.
In kuma kuka tambaye kanku “Me ya sa wannan ya faru da mu?” Wannan kuwa saboda yawan zunubanku ne ya sa fatarinku ya yage aka kuma wahalshe jikinku.
23 Doth a Cushite change his skin? and a leopard his spots? Ye also are able to do good, who are accustomed to do evil.
Mutumin Habasha zai iya canja launin fatar jikinsa ko damisa ta canja dabbare dabbarenta? Ba za ku iya yin alheri ku da kuka saba da yin mugunta ba.
24 And I scatter them as stubble, Passing away, by a wind of the wilderness.
“Zan watsar da ku kamar yayin da iskar hamada take hurawa.
25 This [is] thy lot, the portion of thy measures from Me — an affirmation of Jehovah, Because thou hast forgotten me, And dost trust in falsehood.
Rabonku ne wannan, sashen da na auka muku,” in ji Ubangiji “domin kun manta da ni kuka kuma dogara ga allolin ƙarya.
26 I also have made bare thy skirts before thy face, And thy shame hath been seen.
Zan kware fatarinku sama ya rufe fuskarku don a iya ga tsiraicinku
27 Thine adulteries, and thy neighings, The wickedness of thy whoredom, on heights in a field, I have seen thine abominations. Woe to thee, O Jerusalem, Thou art not cleansed, after when [is it] again?
zinace zinacenku da haniniya kamar dawakai, karuwancinku na bankunya! Na ga ayyukanku na banƙyama a kan tuddai da kuma a filaye. Kaitonki, ya Urushalima! Har yaushe za ki ci gaba da rashin tsarki?”
