1 Yanzu ka duba fa, Ubangiji, Ubangiji Maɗaukaki, yana shirin yă ɗauke kowane tanadi da taimako daga Urushalima da Yahuda dukan tanade-tanaden abinci da kuma dukan tanade-tanaden ruwa,
The Commander of the armies of angels is about to take away from Jerusalem and [other places in] Judea everything that you depend on— all your food and water.
2 jarumi, da soja, alƙali da annabi masu duba da dattijo,
He will take away your heroes and your [other] soldiers, your judges and your prophets, people who do rituals to find out what will happen in the future and the elders,
3 shugaban sojojin hamsin da mutum mai makami, mai ba da shawara, gwanin sarrafa abubuwa da mai gwanintan dabo.
army officers and [other] officials, advisors and skilled craftsmen and those who perform rituals to predict the future.
4 “Zan sa’yan yara su zama shugabanninsu;’yan yara kurum za su yi mulkinsu.”
He will appoint boys to be your leaders; your children will rule you.
5 Mutane za su zalunci juna mutum da mutum, maƙwabci da maƙwabci. Yara za su rena tsofaffi, ƙasƙantacce zai rena mai daraja.
People will treat each other cruelly: people will fight against their neighbors. Young people will insult older people, and vulgar/dishonorable people will sneer at people who should be honored.
6 Mutum zai kama ɗaya daga cikin’yan’uwansa a gidan mahaifinsa ya ce, “Kana da abin sawa, ka zama shugabanmu; wannan kango kuma yă zama a ƙarƙashinka!”
At that time, someone will grab one of his brothers in his father’s house and say to him, “You have a coat, [which shows that you are respected]. [So] you be our leader! You rule this [city, which is now] a pile of ruins!”
7 Amma a ranan nan zai tā da murya ya ce, “Ba ni ba dai. Ba ni da abinci ko abin sawa a gidana; kada ka mai da ni shugaban mutane.”
[But] his brother will reply, “[No], I cannot help you, [because] I do not have [any extra] food or clothes in this house. [So] do not appoint me to be your leader!”
8 Urushalima tana tangaɗi, Yahuda yana fāɗuwa; maganganunsu da ayyukansu suna gāba da Ubangiji, suna rena ɗaukakar kasancewarsa.
Jerusalem and [the other towns in] Judah will be destroyed, because [everything] that the people do and say there opposes Yahweh, who is powerful and glorious, and they refuse to obey him. They rebel against him.
9 Fuskokinsu shaidu ne a kansu; suna nuna zunubinsu a fili kamar yadda Sodom ya yi; ba sa ma ɓoye shi. Kaitonsu! Sun jawo wa kansu masifa.
They even show on their faces that [they oppose Yahweh]. They are proud of their sins, like [the people of] Sodom were [long ago]; they do not try to hide their sins. [Because of their sins], terrible things will happen to them, [but] they will bring those disasters on themselves.
10 Ku faɗa wa masu adalci cewa kome zai zama musu da kyau, gama za su ji daɗin aikin da hannuwansu suka yi.
[Yahweh told me to] tell the righteous people that good things will happen to them; they will enjoy the blessings that they will receive for their good deeds.
11 Kaiton masu mugunta! Masifa tana a kansu! Za a rama abin da hannuwansu suka yi.
[But] terrible things will happen to wicked people; they will be (paid back/punished) for [the evil things that] [MTY] they have done.
12 Matasa suna zalunta mutanena, mata suna mulki a bisansu. Ya mutanena, jagorarinku suna ɓad da ku; suna karkatar da ku daga hanya.
[Now], youths [who have become leaders] treat my people cruelly, and women rule over my people. My people, your leaders are misleading you; they are causing you to go down the wrong road [MET].
13 Ubangiji ya ɗauki mazauninsa a cikin ɗakin shari’a; ya tashi don yă shari’anta mutane.
[It is as though] Yahweh has sat in his place in a courtroom and is ready to judge his people.
14 Ubangiji yana shari’a da dattawa da kuma shugabannin mutanensa, “Ku ne kuka lalace gonar inabina; ganimar talakawa suna a gidajenku.
He will stand up to declare why the elders and rulers of his people should be punished: [he says], “The people of Israel are [like] [MET] a vineyard that I planted, but you have ruined it! Your houses are full of things that you have stolen from poor people.
15 Ina dalilin da kuke marmatsa mutanena kuna gurgurje fuskokin talakawa?” Ni Ubangiji Maɗaukaki na faɗa.
You should stop [RHQ] crushing my people! [It is as though] you are pushing the faces of poor people into the dirt!” [That is what] the Commander of the armies of angels says.
16 Ubangiji ya ce, “Matan Sihiyona suna da girman kai, suna tafiya da wuya a miƙe, da idanu masu yaudara, suna takawa ɗaya-ɗaya a hankali, da mundaye a ƙafafunsu, suna cas-cas.
Yahweh says this: “The women of Jerusalem are haughty/proud; they walk around sticking their chins out, and flirting [with men] with their eyes. They walk with tiny steps with bracelets on their ankles that jingle.
17 Saboda haka Ubangiji zai kawo gyambuna a kawunan matan Sihiyona; Ubangiji zai sa a aske kawunansu, a bar su ƙwal.”
So I, Yahweh, will cause sores to be on their heads, and I will cause those beautiful women in Jerusalem to become bald.”
18 A wannan rana Ubangiji zai ƙwace abin da suke taƙama da shi, mundayensu, ɗankwalin kansu da abin wuyansu,
At the time [that Yahweh does that], he will strip away everything that the women of Jerusalem wear to make themselves beautiful—the ornaments on their ankles and their headbands, their crescent necklaces,
19 ’yan kunnensu, kwandagansu da lulluɓinsu,
their earrings and bracelets and veils,
20 kitsonsu, sarƙar da suke sa wa damatsansu da ɗamararsu, kwalabai turare da layu,
their scarves and ankle bracelets and sashes, their perfumes and (charms/little things that they wear thinking that those things will protect them from evil),
21 da ƙawanen da suka sa a yatsotsinsu da hancinsu,
their signet rings and nose rings,
22 tufafi masu kyau, da manyan rigunansu, da mayafansu, da jakar kuɗinsu
their nice robes and capes and cloaks and purses,
23 da madubi, da kuma tufafin lilin da adikai, da gyale.
their mirrors and nice linen clothes and shawls.
24 A maimakon ƙanshi, wari ne za a ji; a maimakon abin ɗamara, igiya ce za a samu; a maimakon kyakkyawan gashi, sanƙo za su kasance da shi a kai; a maimakon tufafi masu kyau, za su sa tsummoki; a maimakon kyau, za su zama munana.
Instead of their having a nice smell from perfume, they will stink; instead of nice sashes, they will have ropes [around their waists because they will be captives]. Instead of having fancy hairdos, they will be bald. Instead of fancy/beautiful robes, they will wear rough sackcloth, and instead of being beautiful, they will be branded.
25 Mazanku za su mutu ta wurin takobi, jarumawanku za su mutu a yaƙi.
Their husbands will be killed by [their enemies’] swords, and their soldiers [will also die] in battles.
26 Ƙofofin Sihiyona za su yi makoki su kuma yi kuka; za tă zama wofi, za tă zauna a ƙasa.
People [PRS] will mourn and cry at the gates [of the city]. The city will [be like] [MET] a woman who sits on the ground because everything that she owned is gone.
