Jeremiah 38
1 And Shephatiah son of Mattan, and Gedaliah son of Pashhur, and Jucal son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur son of Malchiah, hear the words that Jeremiah is speaking unto all the people, saying,
Shefatiya ɗan Mattan, Gedaliya ɗan Fashhur, Yukal ɗan Shelemiya da Fashhur ɗan Malkiya ya ji abin da Irmiya yana faɗa wa dukan mutane sa’ad da ya ce,
2 'Thus said Jehovah: He who is remaining in this city dieth, by sword, by famine, and by pestilence, and he who is going forth unto the Chaldeans liveth, and his soul hath been to him for a prey, and he liveth.
“Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, ‘Duk wanda ya zauna a wannan birni zai mutu ta takobi, yunwa ko annoba, amma duk wanda ya je wurin Babiloniyawa zai rayu. Zai tsira da ransa, ya rayu.’
3 Thus said Jehovah: This city is certainly given into the hand of the force of the king of Babylon, and he hath captured it.'
Kuma ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, ‘Tabbatacce za a ba da wannan birni ga sojojin sarkin Babilon, wanda zai ci shi.’”
4 And the heads say unto the king, 'Let, we pray thee, this man be put to death, because that he is making feeble the hands of the men of war, who are left in this city, and the hands of all the people, by speaking unto them according to these words, for this man is not seeking for the peace of this people, but for its evil.'
Sai fadawa suka ce wa sarki, “Ya kamata a kashe wannan mutum. Yana karya zuciyar sojojin da suka ragu a birnin, da zuciyar sauran mutane, ta wurin abubuwan da yake faɗa musu. Wannan mutum ba ya neman jin daɗin zaman wannan sai dai wahala.”
5 And the king Zedekiah saith, 'Lo, he [is] in your hand: for the king is not able for you [in] anything.'
“Yana a hannuwanku” Sarki Zedekiya ya amsa. “Sarki ba zai iya yin kome ya hana ku ba.”
6 And they take Jeremiah, and cast him into the pit of Malchiah son of the king, that [is] in the court of the prison, and they send down Jeremiah with cords; and in the pit there is no water, but mire, and Jeremiah sinketh in the mire.
Saboda haka suka kama Irmiya suka sa a rijiyar da ba ruwa a ciki ta Malkiya, ɗan sarki, wadda take a sansanin matsara. Suka saukar da Irmiya cikin rijiyar da ba ruwa da igiya; babu ruwa a cikinta, sai laka, Irmiya ya nutse cikin laka.
7 And Ebed-Melech the Cushite, a eunuch who [is] in the king's house, heareth that they have put Jeremiah into the pit; and the king is sitting at the gate of Benjamin,
Amma Ebed-Melek mutumin Kush, wani hafsa a fada, ya ji cewa sun sa Irmiya a rijiyar da ba ruwa. Yayinda sarki yana zama a Ƙofar Benyamin,
8 and Ebed-Melech goeth forth from the king's house, and speaketh unto the king, saying,
Ebed-Melek ya fita daga fadar ya ce masa,
9 'My lord, O king, these men have done evil [in] all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the pit, and he dieth in his place because of the famine, for there is no more bread in the city.'
“Ranka yă daɗe sarki, waɗannan mutane sun yi mugun abu a duk abin da suka yi wa Irmiya annabi. Sun jefa shi cikin rijiyar da ba ruwa, inda zai mutu da yunwa gama ba sauran wani burodi a birnin.”
10 And the king commandeth Ebed-Melech the Cushite, saying, 'Take with thee from this thirty men, and thou hast brought up Jeremiah the prophet from the pit, before he dieth.'
Sai sarki ya umarce Ebed-Melek mutumin Kush, “Ka ɗauko mutane talatin daga nan ku fid da Irmiya annabi daga rijiyar kafin ya mutu.”
11 And Ebed-Melech taketh the men with him, and entereth the house of the king, unto the place of the treasury, and taketh thence worn-out clouts, and worn-out rags, and sendeth them unto Jeremiah unto the pit by cords.
Saboda haka Ebed-Melek ya ɗauki mutane tare da shi suka shiga ɗaki a ƙarƙashin baitulmali a cikin fada. Ya ɗauko waɗansu tsofaffin tsummoki da tsofaffi riguna daga can ya kuma zurara su da igiya wa Irmiya a cikin rijiyar.
12 And Ebed-Melech the Cushite saith unto Jeremiah, 'Put, I pray thee, the worn-out clouts and rags under thine arm-holes, at the place of the cords,' and Jeremiah doth so,
Ebed-Melek mutumin Kush ya ce wa Irmiya, “Ka sa waɗannan tsummoki da tsofaffin rigunan a hammatarka, ya zarga igiya.” Irmiya ya yi haka,
13 and they draw out Jeremiah with cords, and bring him up out of the pit, and Jeremiah dwelleth in the court of the prison.
suka kuma ja shi sama da igiya suka fid da shi daga rijiyar. Irmiya kuwa ya zauna a sansanin matsara.
14 And the king Zedekiah sendeth, and taketh Jeremiah the prophet unto him, unto the third entrance that [is] in the house of Jehovah, and the king saith unto Jeremiah, 'I am asking thee a thing, do not hide from me anything.'
Sai Sarki Zedekiya ya aika a kawo Irmiya annabi, ya sa aka kawo shi a ƙofa ta uku ta haikalin Ubangiji. Sai sarki ya ce wa Irmiya, “Zan tambaye ka wani abu, kada ka ɓoye mini wani abu.”
15 And Jeremiah saith unto Zedekiah, 'When I declare to thee, dost thou not surely put me to death? and when I counsel thee, thou dost not hearken unto me.'
Irmiya ya ce wa Zedekiya, “In na ba ka amsa, ba za ka kashe ni ba? Ko da na ba ka shawara, ba za ka saurare ni ba.”
16 And the king Zedekiah sweareth unto Jeremiah in secret, saying, 'Jehovah liveth, He who made for us this soul, I do not put thee to death, nor give thee unto the hand of these men who are seeking thy soul.'
Amma Sarki Zedekiya ya yi wannan rantsuwa a kaɗaice ga Irmiya cewa, “Muddin Ubangiji yana a raye, wanda ya ba mu numfashi, ba zan kashe ka ko in ba da kai ga waɗanda suke neman ranka ba.”
17 And Jeremiah saith unto Zedekiah, 'Thus said Jehovah, God of Hosts, God of Israel: If thou dost certainly go forth unto the heads of the king of Babylon, then hath thy soul lived, and this city is not burned with fire, yea, thou hast lived, thou and thy house.
Sa’an nan Irmiya ya ce wa Zedekiya, “Ga abin da Ubangiji Allah Maɗaukaki, Allah na Isra’ila, yana cewa, ‘In ka miƙa wuya ga hafsoshin sarkin Babilon, za a bar ka da rai ba za a kuma ƙone wannan birni ba; da kai da iyalinka za ku rayu.
18 And if thou dost not go forth unto the heads of the king of Babylon, then hath this city been given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they have burnt it with fire, and thou dost not escape from their hand.'
Amma in ba ka miƙa wuya ga hafsoshin sarkin Babilon ba, za a ba da wannan birni ga Babiloniyawa za su kuma cinna mata wuta; kai kanka ba za ka tsira daga hannuwansu ba.’”
19 And the king Zedekiah saith unto Jeremiah, 'I am fearing the Jews who have fallen unto the Chaldeans, lest they give me into their hand, and they have insulted me.'
Sarki Zedekiya ya ce wa Irmiya, “Ina jin tsoron Yahudawan da suka tafi wurin Babiloniyawa, gama Babiloniyawa mai yiwuwa su ba da ni gare su su kuma wulaƙanta ni.”
20 And Jeremiah saith, 'They do not give thee up; hearken, I pray thee, to the voice of Jehovah, to that which I am speaking unto thee, and it is well for thee, and thy soul doth live.
Irmiya ya ce, “Ba za su ba da kai ba, ka yi biyayya ga Ubangiji ta wurin yin abin da na faɗa maka. Ta haka zai zama maka da amfani, za ka kuwa rayu.
21 'And if thou art refusing to go forth, this [is] the thing that Jehovah hath shewn me:
Amma in ka ƙi miƙa wuya, ga abin da Ubangiji ya bayyana mini.
22 That, lo, all the women who have been left in the house of the king of Judah are brought forth unto the heads of the king of Babylon, and lo, they are saying: Persuaded thee, and prevailed against thee, Have thine allies, Sunk into mire have thy feet, They have been turned backward.
Za a fitar da dukan matan da suka ragu a fadan sarkin Yahuda wa hafsoshin sarkin Babilon. Waɗannan mata za su ce maka, “‘Sun ruɗe ka suka kuma rinjaye ka, waɗannan abokanka. Ƙafafunka sun nutse a cikin laka; abokanka sun yashe ka.’
23 'And all thy wives, and thy sons, are brought forth unto the Chaldeans, and thou dost not escape from their hand, for by the hand of the king of Babylon thou art caught, and this city is burnt with fire.'
“Za a kawo dukan matanka da’ya’yanka wa Babiloniyawa. Kai kanka ba za ka tsira daga hannuwansu ba amma za su sa sarkin Babilon zai kama ka; za a kuma ƙone wannan birni.”
24 And Zedekiah saith unto Jeremiah, 'Let no man know of these words, and thou dost not die;
Sai Zedekiya ya ce wa Irmiya, “Kada ka bar wani ya san wannan zance, in ba haka ba za ka mutu.
25 and when the heads hear that I have spoken with thee, and they have come in unto thee, and have said unto thee, Declare to us, we pray thee, what thou didst speak unto the king, do not hide [it] from us, and we do not put thee to death, and what the king spake unto thee,
In fadawa suka ji cewa na yi magana da kai, suka kuma zo wurinka suka ce, ‘Faɗa mana abin da ka faɗa wa sarki da kuma abin da sarki ya faɗa maka; kada ka ɓoye mana, in ba haka za mu kashe ka,’
26 then thou hast said unto them, I am causing my supplication to fall before the king, not to cause me to return to the house of Jonathan, to die there.'
sai ka ce musu cewa, ‘Na roƙi sarki kada yă mai da ni gidan Yonatan in mutu a can.’”
27 And all the heads come in unto Jeremiah, and ask him, and he declareth to them according to all these words that the king commanded, and they keep silent from him, for the matter was not heard;
Dukan fadawa kuwa suka zo wurin Irmiya suka tambaye shi, ya kuma faɗa musu dukan abin da sarki ya umarce shi ya faɗa. Saboda haka ba su ƙara ce masa kome ba, gama ba wanda ya ji zance da suka yi da sarki.
28 and Jeremiah dwelleth in the court of the prison till the day that Jerusalem hath been captured, and he was [there] when Jerusalem was captured.
