Ezekiyel 16
1 Maganar Ubangiji ta zo mini cewa,
Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
2 “Ɗan mutum, ka sa Urushalima ta san ayyukanta masu banƙyama
“You human, cause the people of Jerusalem to think about their detestable behavior.
3 ka ce, ‘Ga abin da Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka yana cewa wa Urushalima, Asalinki da haihuwarki daga ƙasar Kan’ana ne; mahaifinki mutumin Amoriyawa ne, mahaifiyarki kuma mutuniyar Hitti ce.
Say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says to you people of Jerusalem: [It is as though you are a woman who] [MET] was born in the country where the Canaan people-group lived. [It is as though] [MET] your father belonged to the Amor people-group and your mother belonged to the Heth people-group.
4 A ranar da aka haife ki ba a yanke cibiyarki ba, ba a kuma yi miki wanka don a tsabtacce ki ba, ba a kuma goge ki da gishiri ba ko a naɗe ki cikin tsummoki.
[It is as though] [MET] on the day that you were born, your umbilical cord was not cut, and your body was not washed in water, and it was not rubbed with salt or wrapped in strips of cloth, [like Israeli babies always are].
5 Ba wanda ya dube ki da tausayi ko ya nuna miki isashen jinƙai don yă yi miki ɗaya daga cikin waɗannan abubuwa. A maimako, sai aka jefar da ke a fili, gama a ranar da aka haife ki an ji ƙyamarki.
No one pitied you or acted kindly toward you by doing those things for you. Instead, [it was as though] [MET] you were thrown into a field, because on the day that you were born, you were despised {everyone despised you}.
6 “‘Sa’an nan na wuce na ga kina birgima cikin jininki, yayinda kike kwance can cikin jininki sai na ce miki, “Ki rayu!”
Then [it was as though] [MET] I passed by and saw you lying in your own blood and kicking. And while you lay there kicking in your own blood, I said to you, “I want you to remain alive!”
7 Na sa kin yi girma kamar tsiro a fili. Kin yi girma kika kuma yi tsayi kika zama mafiya kyau na kayan ado. Nononki suka fito, gashinki kuwa suka yi girma, duk da haka tsirara kike tik.
[It was as though] I caused you to grow up, like plants in the field grow; you grew up and became tall and became like [MET] a very beautiful jewel. [It was as though] [MET] your breasts (formed/became large), and your hair became long, although you were still naked [DOU].
8 “‘Daga baya na wuce, da na dube ki sai na ga cewa kin yi girma sosai har kin kai a ƙaunace ki, na yafa gefen tufafina a kanki na kuma rufe tsiraincinki. Na rantse miki, na ƙulla alkawari da ke, kin kuwa zama tawa, in ji Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka.
When I saw you several years later, [it was as though] [MET] I saw that you were old enough to have sex [EUP]. So [it was as though] [MET] I spread the corner of my robe over [to symbolize that I would marry you], with the result that you were no longer naked. I solemnly promised [that I would marry you] and made a marriage agreement with you, and you became my wife. That is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say.
9 “‘Na yi miki wanka na wanke miki jini daga gare ki na kuma shafa miki mai.
[And then it was as though] [MET] I bathed you and washed the blood from you and put ointment on your body.
10 Na rufe ki da rigar da aka yi wa ado na kuma sa miki takalman fata. Na sa miki riga ta lilin mai kyau na kuma rufe ki da riguna masu tsada.
[It was as though] [MET] I put a fine linen robe on you and gave you other expensive clothes. I put an embroidered dress on you and put leather sandals on your feet.
11 Na yi miki ado da kayan ado masu daraja, na sa miki mundaye a hannuwanki da abin wuya a wuyanki,
[It was as though] [MET] I put bracelets on your arms and a necklace around your neck. Those things all had nice jewels fastened to them.
12 na kuma sa miki zobe a hancinki, abin kunne a kunnuwanki da rawani mai kyau a kanki.
I put a gold ring in your nose and fastened earrings to your ears and put a beautiful crown on your head.
13 Haka kuwa aka caɓa miki zinariya da azurfa; tufafinki kuwa na lilin mai kyau da riguna masu tsada waɗanda aka yi musu ado. Abincinki na gari mai laushi ne, zuma da man zaitun. Kika zama kyakkyawa har kika kuma zama sarauniya.
So [it was as though] you wore gold and silver ornaments. You had clothes made from fine (linen/white cloth) and other expensive embroidered material/cloth. You ate [bread made from] fine flour, honey, and olive oil. You became very beautiful, like [MET] a queen.
14 Sunanki ya yaɗu a cikin al’ummai saboda kyanki, domin darajar da na ba ki ya sa kyanki ya zama cikakke, in ji Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka.
You were very beautiful, with the result that people in other nations heard about you, because they knew that I, Yahweh the Lord, am the one who had caused you to become very beautiful.
15 “‘Amma kika dogara ga kyanki kika kuma yi amfani da sunan da kika yi don ki zama karuwa. Kin yi ta jibga alherai a kan kowa da ya wuce, sai kyanki ya zama naki.
But [it was as though] [MET] you realized that because people knew that you were very beautiful, you could [earn a lot of money by] becoming a prostitute. [It was as though] you had sex with [EUP] every man who came along, and they all enjoyed your beauty.
16 Kin ɗauki waɗansu tufafinki don ki yi wa kanki masujadai masu ado, inda kike karuwancinki. Irin waɗannan abubuwa bai kamata su faru ba, bai kuma kamata su taɓa faruwa ba.
[It was as though] you took some of your clothes to make beautifully decorated shrines, and that is where you had sex with those men. Those things should certainly never occur!
17 Kika kuma ɗauki kayan ado masu kyau da na ba ki, kayan adon da aka yi da zinariya da azurfa, kika yi wa kanki gumakan maza kika kuma yi ta yin karuwanci da su.
You took the fine gold and silver jewelry that I gave you, and you made male idols for yourself, in order to have sex with them.
18 Kika ɗauki rigunanki masu ado don ki sa a kansu, kika kuma miƙa maina da turarena a gabansu.
You took some of your embroidered clothes to put on those idols, and you burned oil and incense in front of them [to honor them].
19 Haka ma abincin da na tanada miki, lallausan gari, man zaitun, da zuman da na ba ki ki ci, kin miƙa su kamar turare mai ƙanshi a gabansu, in ji Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka.
And the [bread that was made from] fine flour and the olive oil and honey that I gave to you to eat, you offered to be a fragrant sacrifice to those idols. I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that is what happened.
20 “‘Kika kuma kwashe’ya’yanki maza da mata waɗanda kin haifa mini kika miƙa su kamar abinci ga gumakanki. Karuwancinki bai isa ba ne?
And you even took your sons and daughters who were [as though they were] [MET] my children, and sacrificed them to be food for the idols. That was much worse [RHQ] than your becoming a prostitute.
21 Kin kashe’ya’yana kika kuma miƙa su ga gumaka.
You slaughtered [those who were like] [MET] my children, and offered them to be sacrifices to the gods!
22 Cikin dukan ayyukan banƙyamarki da karuwancinki ba ki tuna da kwanakin ƙuruciyarki ba, sa’ad da kike tsirara tik, kina birgima cikin jininki.
All during the time when you were acting like a prostitute and doing other detestable things, you did not think about the time when [it was as though] you were very young, naked [DOU], lying in your own blood and kicking.
23 “‘Kaito! Kaitonki, in ji Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka. Bugu da ƙari a kan dukan waɗansu muguntarki,
So I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that terrible things will happen to you. In addition to all the other wicked things that you did,
24 kin gina wa kanki ɗakunan sama da gidajen tsafi a kowane dandali.
you built a shrine to worship idols in every [city] square/plaza.
25 A kowane titi kin gina ɗakin tsafi kika kuma wulaƙanta kyanki, kina miƙa jikinki da ƙarin fasikanci ga duk mai wucewa.
At the beginning of every street you built a shrine, and showed people your beautiful body, offering it to have sex with every man who walked by, becoming a better known prostitute every day.
26 Kin yi karuwanci da Masarawa, maƙwabtanki masu kwaɗayi, kika tsokane ni har na yi fushi da ƙarin fasikancinki.
[It was as though] [MET] you had sex with men from Egypt who were eager to have sex with you, men who lived near to Israel. You caused me to become very angry because you became more eager to have sex with more and more of them.
27 Saboda haka na miƙa hannuna gāba da ke na kuma rage iyakarki; na ba da ke ga abokan gābanki masu haɗama,’yan matan Filistiyawa, waɗanda suka sha mamaki saboda halinki na lalata.
So I punished [IDM] you and caused your enemies to capture some of your country. I enabled your greedy enemies from Philistia to defeat you; and even they were shocked because of your disgraceful behavior.
28 Kin kuma yi karuwanci da Assuriyawa, domin ba kya ƙoshi; kai ko bayan wannan, ba ki ƙoshi ba.
[It was as though] you had sex with soldiers from Assyria, too, because you always wanted more sex. And after that, you still were not satisfied.
29 Sai kika ƙara fasikancinki da ya haɗa da ƙasar cinikin Babilon, amma duk da haka ba ki ƙoshi ba.
So you also had sex [with soldiers from] Babylonia, a country full of merchants/businessmen, but even that did not satisfy you.
30 “‘Kina da rashin ƙarfi a zuci, in ji Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka, sa’ad da kika yi duk waɗannan abubuwa, kina yi kamar karuwar da aka watsa!
I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that when you did all those things, acting like [MET] a bold prostitute, you were showing that you were ready to do anything that you wanted to [IDM].
31 Sa’ad da kika gina ɗakunan samanki a kowane gefen titi kika kuma gina ɗakunan tsafinki a kowane dandali, ba kamar karuwa kike ba, domin kin karɓi kuɗi.
When you built shrines to worship idols on every street corner and in every city square/plaza, you were not like a prostitute: Prostitutes charge money, but you refused to take money for what you did.
32 “‘Ke mazinaciyar mace! Kin gwammace baƙi a maimakon mijinki!
You are like [MET] a woman who commits adultery: You prefer to [have sex with] strangers rather than with your husband.
33 Kowace karuwa kan karɓi kuɗi, amma kina ba da kyautai ga dukan kwartayenki, kina ba su cin hanci don su zo wurinki daga ko’ina don alherai marasa ƙa’ida.
Prostitutes are paid, but [it is as though] you give gifts to all your lovers; you bribe them to come to you from everywhere to have sex with you.
34 Saboda haka cikin karuwancinki kin sha bamban da saura; babu wanda yake binki saboda alheranki. Ke dai dabam ce, gama kikan biya kuma ba mai biyanki.
So although you act like [MET] a prostitute, you are not like other prostitutes: No one needs to request you to have sex [EUP] with them. You are the opposite of other prostitutes; instead of them giving any money to you, you give men money to have sex with you.
35 “‘Saboda haka, ke karuwa, ki ji maganar Ubangiji!
Therefore, [you people of] Jerusalem, who are like a prostitute [MET], listen to what I, Yahweh the Lord, am saying about you!
36 Ga abin da Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka yana cewa domin kin zubar da dukiyarki kika bayyana tsiraicinki cikin fasikancinki da kwartayenki, kuma saboda dukan gumakan banƙyamarki, kuma saboda kin ba su jinin’ya’yansu,
I say that [what you have done is as though] [MET] you took off your clothes and acted like a prostitute and had sex with men who are not your husband. [What I mean is that you have been worshiping] detestable idols, and you have murdered [MTY] your own children to be sacrifices to them.
37 saboda haka zan tattara dukan kwartayenki, waɗanda kike jin daɗinsu, waɗanda kike ƙauna da waɗanda kike ƙi. Zan tattara su gāba da ke daga dukan kewaye zan kuma tuɓe ki a gabansu, za su kuwa ga dukan tsiraicinki.
So [what I am going to do is as though] I will gather those who you think have loved you and those whom you hated. I will gather them around you [to attack you], and [what I will do is as though] I will strip your clothes off you, and they will see you when you are completely naked.
38 Zan hukunta ki da hukuncin matan da suke zina da kuma waɗanda suke zub da jini; zan kawo hakkin jini na fushina da kuma fushin kishina.
I will punish you like women who commit adultery and who murder people [MTY] are punished. I will get revenge on you and get rid of you because I am extremely angry with you.
39 Sa’an nan zan miƙa ki ga kwartayenki, za su kuwa rurrushe ɗakunan samanki su kuma farfashe ɗakunan tsafinki. Za su tuɓe miki tufafinki su kuma kwashe kayan adonki masu kyau su bar ki tsirara tik.
I will allow [your enemies who you thought] loved you [IRO] to defeat you, and they will tear down your shrines. [It will be as though] they will strip off your fancy clothes and take away your fine jewelry and cause you to be completely naked [DOU].
40 Za su kawo taron jama’a a kanki, waɗanda za su jajjefe ki da dutse su sassare ki gunduwa-gunduwa da takubansu.
They will bring a mob to attack you, and that mob will throw stones at you and cut you to pieces with their swords.
41 Za su ƙone gidajenki su kuma hukunta ki a idon mata masu yawa. Zan kawo ƙarshen karuwancinki, ba za ki kuma ƙara biyan kwartayenki ba.
They will burn down your houses and punish you while many women are watching. I will cause your acting like a prostitute and paying your lovers to have sex with you to end.
42 Sa’an nan fushina a kanki zai huce fushin kishina kuma ya kwanta; zan huce ba kuwa zan ƙara yin fushi ba.
Then I will no longer be angry [DOU] with you. I will stop being jealous [because of your worshiping gods other than me only].
43 “‘Domin ba ki tuna da kwanakin ƙuruciyarki ba amma kika husatar da ni da waɗannan abubuwa, tabbatacce zan sāka miki alhakin ayyukanki, in ji Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka. Ba kin ƙara lalata ga dukan waɗansu ayyuka masu banƙyamarki ba?
You have forgotten [the wonderful things that I did for you] in previous years [MET]. You have caused me to become extremely angry because of all the [evil things] that you have done. In addition to all the other detestable things that you did, you committed many sexual sins. So I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that I will punish you [IDM] for doing those things.
44 “‘Duk mai yin amfani da karin magana zai faɗi wannan karin magana a kanki cewa, “Kamar yadda mahaifiya take haka’yar take.”
People who [like to] quote proverbs will quote this proverb about you: “[behave] like their mothers [behave].”
45 Ke’yar mahaifiyarki ce da gaske, wadda ta ƙi mijinta da’ya’yanta; ke kuma’yar’uwar’yar’uwanki mata ce da gaske, waɗanda suka ƙi mazansu da’ya’yansu. Mahaifiyarki mutuniyar Hitti ce, mahaifinki kuma mutumin Amoriyawa ne.
You are like your mother; [it was as though] she detested her husband and her children. You are like your sisters, who also despised their husbands and their children. [It was as though] [MET] your father belonged to the Amor people-group and your mother belonged to the Heth people-group.
46 Babbar’yar’uwarki mutuniyar Samariya ce, wadda take zaune da’ya’yanta mata wajen arewa da ke; ƙanuwarki ita ce Sodom wadda take zaune kudu da ke tare da’ya’yanta mata.
And [it was as though] [MET] your older sister was Samaria, and she and her daughters lived to the north of you, and [it was as though] your younger sister was Sodom, and she and her daughters lived to the south of you.
47 Ba ki bi hanyoyinsu da abubuwansu na banƙyama kaɗai ba, sai ka ce wannan ya yi miki kaɗan, amma kin lalace fiye da su.
You not only imitated all [DOU] their detestable behavior, but you quickly became more sinful than they were.
48 Muddin in raye, in ji Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka,’yar’uwarki Sodom da’ya’yanta mata ba su yi abin da’ya’yanki mata suka yi ba.
I, Yahweh the Lord, solemnly declare that as surely as I am alive, [the people who lived in] [MTY] Sodom and other nearby cities never did the detestable things that you [people in Jerusalem and other places in Judah] have done.
49 “‘To, fa, ga zunubin’yar’uwarki Sodom. Ita da’ya’yanta mata sun yi girman kai, sun ƙoshi fiye da kima kuma ba su kula da wani abu ba; ba su taimaki matalauta da kuma masu bukata ba.
These are the sins [the people who lived in] Sodom, who were like your sister [MET]: The people who lived there and in nearby cities were arrogant. In spite of having more food to eat than they needed, they refused to help the poor and needy [DOU] people among them.
50 Su masu girman kai ne kuma suka aikata abubuwa masu banƙyama a gabana. Saboda haka na kau da su kamar yadda ka gani.
The people of Sodom and nearby cities [MET] were proud and did detestable things in my presence, so I got rid of them when I saw what they had been doing.
51 Samariya ba tă aikata ko rabin zunubanki ba. Kin aikata abubuwa masu banƙyama fiye da su, suka kuma sa’yan’uwanki mata suka zama kamar masu adalci ta wurin dukan waɗannan abubuwa da kika aikata.
Also, [the people of] Samaria did not commit half as many sins as you have committed. You have done more disgusting things than they have done. You cause the people of Samaria to appear to be good, compared to you.
52 Ki sha kunyarki, gama kin yi rangwame wa’yan’uwanki mata. Saboda zunubanki sun yi muni fiye da nasu, sai suka zama kamar sun fi ki adalci. Saboda haka, ki sha kunya ki kuma sha ƙasƙancinki, gama kin sa’yan’uwanki mata suka zama kamar su masu adalci ne.
Your sins are worse than their sins, so they seem to be less wicked than you are. So I will punish you more than I punished them. As a result, you will be ashamed and disgraced [DOU].
53 “‘Amma fa, zan komo da nasarar Sodom da’ya’yanta mata da ta Samariya da’ya’yanta mata, nasararki kuma tare da su,
However, [some day] I will [the people of] Sodom and Samaria and the cities near to them [MET] to prosper again. And I will cause you to prosper again, too.
54 domin ki sha ƙasƙancinki ki kuma sha kunyar dukan abin da kika aikata ta wurin ta’azantar da su.
You will be very ashamed [DOU] of the wicked things that you have done, and that will cause the people of those cities to be encouraged.
55 ’Yan’uwanki kuwa, Sodom da’ya’yanta mata da Samariya tare da’ya’yanta mata, za su koma kamar yadda suke a dā; ke kuma da’ya’yanki mata za ku koma kamar yadda kike a dā.
[The people of] Sodom and Samaria will prosper again, and you and the people in nearby cities will prosper also.
56 Ba za ki ma iya ambaci’yar’uwarki Sodom a ranar fariyarki ba,
You (sneered at/despised) [the people of] Sodom when you were proud,
57 kafin a tone muguntarki. Ko da ma haka, yanzu’ya’yan Arameyawa mata da dukan maƙwabtanta da kuma’ya’yan Filistiyawa mata suna miki dariyar, dukan waɗanda suke kewaye da ke da suka rena ki.
before it was revealed that you were very wicked. And now [the people of] Edom and [the people of] Philistia all insult you and despise you.
58 Za ki ɗauki hakkin lalatarki da kuma ayyukanki masu banƙyama, in ji Ubangiji.
And you are being punished for all your immoral behavior and other detestable things that you do.
59 “‘Ga abin da Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka yana cewa zan hukunta kamar yadda ya dace da ke, domin kin ƙyale rantsuwana ta wurin karya alkawari.
This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: I will continue to punish you like you deserve to be punished, because by rejecting the agreement that I made with you, you have despised that solemn agreement that you promised to obey.
60 Duk da haka zan tuna da alkawarin da na yi da ke a kwanakin ƙuruciyarki, zan kuma kafa madawwamin alkawari da ke.
But I will not forget the agreement that I made with you long ago [MET], and I will make an agreement with you that will endure forever.
61 Sa’an nan za ki tuna da hanyoyinki ki kuma ji kunya sa’ad da kika karɓi’yan’uwanki mata, waɗanda suka girme ki da kuma waɗanda kika girme su. Zan ba da su kamar’ya’ya mata gare ki, amma ba bisa alkawarina da ke ba.
Then you will think about what you have done, and you will be ashamed about those things when you welcome [the people of] Sodom and Samaria, cities which are like [MET] older and younger sisters to you people of Jerusalem. I will [put them under your control by] causing them to become like [MET] your daughters, but they will not have the same agreement that I will make with you.
62 Ta haka zan kafa alkawarina da ke, za ki kuma san cewa ni ne Ubangiji.
I will establish my agreement with you, and you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
63 Sa’an nan, sa’ad da na yi kafara saboda ke domin dukan abin da kika aikata, za ki tuna ki kuma ji kunya har ki kāsa buɗe bakinki saboda kunya, in ji Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka.’”
Then when I have forgiven you for all your sins, you will think about all the sins that you committed and you will be ashamed, and you will never again [boast about them], because you will be humiliated.’”
