Irmiya 1
1 Kalmomin Irmiya ɗan Hilkiya, ɗaya daga cikin firistoci a Anatot a yankin Benyamin.
The words of Jeremiah, the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin:
2 Maganar Ubangiji ta zo gare shi a shekara ta goma sha uku ta sarautar Yosiya ɗan Amon sarkin Yahuda,
To whom the word of the Lord came in the days of Josiah, the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his rule.
3 da kuma a zamanin Yehohiyakim ɗan Yosiya sarkin Yahuda, har zuwa watan biyar na shekara goma sha ɗaya na Zedekiya ɗan Yosiya sarkin Yahuda, sa’ad da aka kai mutanen Urushalima zaman bauta.
And it came again in the days of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, up to the eleventh year of Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, king of Judah; till Jerusalem was taken away in the fifth month.
4 Maganar Ubangiji ta zo mini cewa,
Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
5 “Kafin in siffanta ka a cikin ciki na san ka, kafin a haife ka, na keɓe ka; na naɗa ka ka zama annabi ga al’ummai.”
Before you were formed in the body of your mother I had knowledge of you, and before your birth I made you holy; I have given you the work of being a prophet to the nations.
6 Sai na ce, “Kayya, Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka, ban iya magana ba; ni ɗan yaro ne kawai.”
Then said I, O Lord God! see, I have no power of words, for I am a child.
7 Amma Ubangiji ya ce mini, “Kada ka ce, ‘Ni ɗan yaro ne kawai.’ Dole ka je wurin kowane mutumin da na aike ka ka kuma faɗa abin da na umarce ka.
But the Lord said to me, Do not say, I am a child: for wherever I send you, you are to go, and whatever I give you orders to say, you are to say.
8 Kada ka ji tsoronsu, gama ina tare da kai kuma zan kiyaye ka,” in ji Ubangiji.
Have no fear because of them: for I am with you, to keep you safe, says the Lord.
9 Sai Ubangiji ya miƙa hannunsa ya taɓa bakina ya ce mini, “Yanzu na sa kalmomina a bakinka.
Then the Lord put out his hand, touching my mouth; and the Lord said to me, See, I have put my words in your mouth:
10 Duba, yau na naɗa ka a kan al’ummai da mulkoki don ka tumɓuke ka kuma rusar, ka hallaka ka kuma kakkaɓe, ka gina ka kuma shuka.”
See, this day I have put you over the nations and over the kingdoms, for uprooting and smashing down, for destruction and overturning, for building up and planting.
11 Maganar Ubangiji ta zo mini cewa, “Me ka gani, Irmiya?” Sai na amsa na ce, “Na ga reshen itacen almon.”
Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Jeremiah, what do you see? And I said, I see a branch of an almond-tree.
12 Ubangiji ya ce mini, “Daidai ne ka gani, gama ina lura in ga cewa maganata ta cika.”
Then the Lord said to me, You have seen well: for I keep watch over my word to give effect to it.
13 Maganar Ubangiji ta sāke zo mini cewa, “Me ka gani?” Na amsa na ce, “Na ga tukunya tana tafasa, tana juyewa daga arewa.”
And the word of the Lord came to me a second time, saying, What do you see? And I said, I see a boiling pot, and its face is from the north.
14 Ubangiji ya ce mini, “Daga arewa za a zubo masifa a kan dukan mazaunan ƙasar.
Then the Lord said to me, Out of the north evil will come, bursting out on all the people of the land.
15 Ina shirin kiran dukan mutanen masarautar arewanci,” in ji Ubangiji. “Sarakunansu za su zo su kafa kursiyoyinsu a mashigin ƙofofin Urushalima; za su zo su kewaye dukan katangarta su kewaye dukan garuruwan Yahuda.
For see, I will send for all the families of the kingdoms of the north, says the Lord; and they will come, everyone placing his high seat at the way into Jerusalem, and against its walls on every side, and against all the towns of Judah.
16 Zan furta hukunci a kan mutanena saboda muguntarsu na yashe ni, suna ƙona turare ga waɗansu alloli suna kuma bauta wa abin da hannuwansu suka yi.
And I will give my decision against them on account of all their evil-doing; because they have given me up, burning perfumes to other gods and worshipping the works of their hands.
17 “Ka kintsa kanka! Ka tashi tsaye ka faɗa musu abin da na umarce ka. Kada su firgita ka, in ba haka ba zan firgita ka a gabansu.
So make yourself ready, and go and say to them everything I give you orders to say: do not be overcome by fear of them, or I will send fear on you before them.
18 Yau na mai da kai birni mai katanga, ginshiƙin ƙarfe da bangon tagulla don ka tsaya gāba da dukan ƙasar, ya kuma yi gāba da sarakunan Yahuda da fadawan, da firistoci da kuma mutanenta.
For see, this day have I made you a walled town, and an iron pillar, and walls of brass, against all the land, against the kings of Judah, against its captains, against its priests, and against the people of the land.
19 Za su yi yaƙi da kai amma ba za su ci nasara a kanka ba, gama ina tare da kai, zan kuma kiyaye ka,” in ji Ubangiji.
They will be fighting against you, but they will not overcome you: for I am with you, says the Lord, to give you salvation.
