< Jeremiah 4 >
1 If thou dost turn back, O Israel, An affirmation of Jehovah, unto Me turn back, And if thou dost turn aside Thine abominations from My face, Then thou dost not bemoan.
“In za ka komo, ya Isra’ila, ka komo gare ni,” in ji Ubangiji. “In ka kau da gumakanka masu banƙyama daga gabana ba ka ƙara karkace ba,
2 And thou hast sworn — Jehovah liveth, In truth, in judgment, and in righteousness, And blessed themselves in Him have nations, And in Him they boast themselves.
kuma in cikin gaskiya da adalci ka rantse, ‘Muddin Ubangiji yana raye,’ to al’ummai za su sami albarka ta wurinsa kuma a cikinsa za su ɗaukaka.”
3 For thus said Jehovah, To the man of Judah, and to Jerusalem: Till for yourselves tillage, And do not sow unto the thorns.
Ga abin da Ubangiji yana ce wa mutanen Yahuda da kuma na Urushalima. “Ku nome ƙasarku kuma kada ku yi shuka cikin ƙayayyuwa.
4 Be circumcised to Jehovah, And turn aside the foreskins of your heart, O man of Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, Lest My fury go out as fire, and hath burned, And there is none quenching, Because of the evil of your doings.
Ku yi wa kanku kaciya ga Ubangiji ku yi wa zukatanku kaciya, ku mutanen Yahuda da mutanen Urushalima, in ba haka ba hasalata za tă sauko ta ci kamar wuta saboda muguntar da kuka aikata za tă ci ba wanda zai kashe ta.
5 Declare in Judah, and in Jerusalem sound, And say ye, 'Blow a trumpet in the land,' Call ye fully, and say ye: 'Be gathered, and we go in to the fenced city.'
“Ku yi shela a Yahuda ku kuma furta a Urushalima ku ce, ‘Ku busa ƙaho a ko’ina a ƙasar!’ Ku tā da murya da ƙarfi ku ce, ‘Ku tattaru! Bari mu gudu zuwa birane masu katanga!’
6 Lift up an ensign Zionward, Strengthen yourselves, stand not still, For evil I am bringing in from the north, And a great destruction.
Ku tā da tuta don zuwa Sihiyona! Ku gudu ku nemi mafaka ba tare da jinkiri ba! Gama ina kawowa masifa daga arewa, mummunan hallaka kuwa.”
7 Gone up hath a lion from his thicket, And a destroyer of nations hath journeyed, He hath come forth from his place To make thy land become a desolation, Thy cities are laid waste, without inhabitant.
Zaki ya fito daga ruƙuƙinsa; mai hallakarwar al’ummai ya kama hanya. Ya bar wurinsa don yă lalace ƙasarku. Garuruwanku za su zama kufai babu mazauna.
8 For this, gird on sackcloth, lament and howl, For the fierce anger of Jehovah hath not turned back from us.
Saboda haka ku yafa tufafin makoki, ku yi makoki da kuka, gama fushin Ubangiji bai juye daga gare mu ba.
9 And it hath come to pass, in that day, An affirmation of Jehovah: 'Perish doth the heart of the king, And the heart of the princes, And astonished have been the priests, And the prophets do wonder.'
“A wannan rana,” in ji Ubangiji, “sarki da shugabanni za su fid da zuciya, firistoci za su razana, annabawa kuma za su yi mamaki.”
10 And I say, 'Ah, Lord Jehovah, Surely thou hast entirely forgotten this people and Jerusalem, saying, Peace is for you, And struck hath a sword unto the soul!'
Sai na ce, “Kash, Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka, yaya ka ruɗi mutanen nan da kuma Urushalima gaba ɗaya haka ta wurin cewa, ‘Za ku zauna lafiya,’ sa’ad da takobi yana a maƙogwaronmu.”
11 At that time it is said of this people, And of Jerusalem: 'A dry wind of high places in the wilderness,' The way of the daughter of My people, (Not for winnowing, nor for cleansing, )
A lokacin za a faɗa wa mutanen nan da kuma Urushalima cewa, “Iska mai zafi daga tuddan hamada za tă hura zuwa wajen mutanena, amma ba don ta sheƙe ko ta rairaye; ba;
12 A full wind from these doth come for Me, Now, also, I speak judgments with them.
iska mafificin ƙarfi da ta fito daga gare ni. Yanzu na zartar da hukuncina a kansu.”
13 Lo, as clouds he cometh up, And as a hurricane his chariots, Lighter than eagles have been his horses, Woe to us, for we have been spoiled.
Duba! Yana zuwa kamar gizagizai, kekunan yaƙinsa suna zuwa kamar guguwa, dawakansa sun fi gaggafa sauri. Kaiton mu! Mun shiga uku!
14 Wash from evil thy heart, O Jerusalem, That thou mayest be saved, Till when dost thou lodge in thy heart Thoughts of thy strength?
Ya Urushalima, ki wanke mugunta daga zuciyarki ki sami ceto. Har yaushe za ki zauna riƙe da mugayen tunani?
15 For a voice is declaring from Dan, And sounding sorrow from mount Ephraim.
Murya ta shela daga Dan, tana furtawa masifa daga tuddan Efraim.
16 Make ye mention to the nations, Lo, sound ye to Jerusalem: 'Besiegers are coming from the land afar off, And they give forth against cities of Judah their voice.
“A faɗa wa al’ummai wannan, a furta wannan game Urushalima. ‘Sojoji masu ƙawanya suna zuwa daga ƙasa mai nisa, suna tā da kirarin yaƙi a kan biranen Yahuda.
17 As the keepers of a field They have been against her round about, For with Me she hath been rebellious, An affirmation of Jehovah.'
Sun kewaye ta kamar masu gadin fili, domin ta yi mini tawaye,’” in ji Ubangiji.
18 Thy way and thy doings have done these to thee, This [is] thy vexation, for [it is] bitter, For it hath struck unto thy heart.
“Halinki da ayyukanki sun kawo wannan a kanki. Hukuncinki ke nan. Yana da ɗaci! Ya soke ki har zuciyarki!”
19 My bowels, my bowels! I am pained [at] the walls of my heart, Make a noise for me doth My heart, I am not silent, For the voice of a trumpet I have heard, O my soul — a shout of battle!
Azabana, azabana! Ina birgima cikin zafi. Azabana, azabar zuciyata! Zuciyata yana bugu a cikina, Ba zan yi shiru ba. Gama na ji karan ƙaho; na ji kirarin yaƙi.
20 Destruction on destruction is proclaimed, For spoiled hath been all the land, Suddenly spoiled have been my tents, In a moment — my curtains.
Masifa kan masifa; dukan ƙasar ta zama kufai. Cikin ɗan lokaci aka rurrushe tentuna nawa, mafakata ba zato.
21 Till when do I see an ensign? Do I hear the voice of a trumpet?
Har yaushe zan dubi tutar yaƙi in kuma ji karar ƙaho?
22 For my people [are] foolish, me they have not known, Foolish sons [are] they, yea, they [are] not intelligent, Wise [are] they to do evil, And to do good they have not known.
“Mutanena wawaye ne; ba su san ni ba. Su’ya’ya ne marasa azanci; ba su da fahimi. Suna da dabarar aikata mugunta; ba su san yadda za su aikata alheri ba.”
23 I looked [to] the land, and lo, waste and void, And unto the heavens, and their light is not.
Na dubi duniya, na ga cewa marar siffa ce babu kome; sammai kuma, haskensu ya tafi.
24 I have looked [to] the mountains, And lo, they are trembling. And all the hills moved themselves lightly.
Na dubi duwatsu, sai na ga suna makyarkyata; dukan tuddai kuwa suna lilo.
25 I have looked, and lo, man is not, And all fowls of the heavens have fled.
Na duba, sai na ga ba kowa; kowane tsuntsu a sarari da ya tsere.
26 I have looked, and lo, The fruitful place [is] a wilderness, And all its cities have been broken down, Because of Jehovah, Because of the fierceness of His anger.
Na duba, sai na ga ƙasa mai amfani ta zama hamada; dukan garuruwanta sun zama kufai a gaban Ubangiji, a gaban zafin fushinsa.
27 For thus said Jehovah: All the land is a desolation, but a completion I make not.
Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, “Dukan ƙasar za tă zama kufai, ko da yake ba zan hallaka ta gaba ɗaya ba.
28 For this doth the land mourn, And black have been the heavens above, because I have spoken — I have purposed, And I have not repented, Nor do I turn back from it.
Saboda haka duniya za tă yi kuka sammai a bisa kuma za su yi duhu, domin na yi magana kuma ba zan fasa ba, na yanke shawara ba kuwa zan janye ba.”
29 From the voice of the horseman, And of him shooting with the bow, all the city is fleeing, They have come into thickets, And on cliffs they have gone up, All the city is forsaken, And there is no one dwelling in them.
Da jin motsin mahayan dawakai da maharba kowane gari ya ruga da gudu. Waɗansu suka shiga kurmi; waɗansu suka hau cikin duwatsu. Dukan garuruwan sun fashe tas; babu wani da yake zama a ciki.
30 And thou, O spoiled one, what dost thou? For thou puttest on scarlet, For thou adornest thyself [with] ornaments of gold. For thou rendest with pain thine eyes, In vain thou dost make thyself fair, Kicked against thee have doting ones, Thy life they do seek.
Me kike yi, ya wadda aka ragargaza? Me ya sa kika sanya mulufi kika sa kayan adon zinariya? Me ya sa kika sa wa idanunki tozali? Kin yi kwalliyarki a banza. Masoyanki sun bar ki; suna neman ranki.
31 For a voice as of a sick woman I have heard, Distress, as of one bringing forth a first-born, The voice of the daughter of Zion, She bewaileth herself, she spreadeth out her hands, 'Woe to me now, for weary is my soul of slayers!'
Na ji kuka kamar na mace mai naƙuda, nishi kamar na wadda take haihuwa ɗanta na fari, kukan Diyar Sihiyona tana haki, da ƙyar take numfashi, tana miƙa hannuwanta tana cewa, “Wayyo ni kaina! Na suma; an ba da raina ga masu kisana.”
