Irmiya 10
1 Ku ji abin da Ubangiji yana ce muku, ya gidan Isra’ila.
Hear ye the word which Yahweh hath spoken unto you, O house of Israel: —
2 Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, “Kada ku koyi hanyoyin al’ummai ko ku razana game da alamun sararin sama, ko da yake al’ummai sun razana saboda su.
Thus, saith Yahweh—Unto the way of the nations, become not ye accustomed, Nor at the signs of the heavens, be ye dismayed, —Because the nations are dismayed at them.
3 Gama al’adun mutane banza ne; sukan yanke itace daga kurmi, sai mai sassaƙa yă sassaƙa shi da gizago.
For as for the prescribed customs of the peoples, vanity, they are, —For a tree out of the forest, one cutteth down, Work for the hands of a skilled workman with the axe:
4 Sukan yi masa ado da azurfa da kuma zinariya; sukan ɗauki guduma su kafa shi da ƙusoshi, don kada yă fāɗi.
With silver and with gold, he decketh it, —With nails and with hammers, they fasten them, that it may not totter.
5 Kamar dodon gona cikin gonar kabewa, haka gumakansu ba sa iya magana; dole a yi ta ɗaukansu domin ba za su iya tafiya ba. Kada ku ji tsoronsu; ba za su iya yi wa wani lahani ba ba sa iya yin wani abin kirki.”
Mere palm-trunks turned, they are and cannot speak, They must needs be, carried, for they cannot take a step, Be not afraid of them, for they cannot do harm, And even to do good, is not in their power.
6 Babu wani kamar ka, ya Ubangiji; kai mai girma ne, kuma sunanka yana da girma da kuma iko.
None, there is, like unto thee, O Yahweh, —Great, art, thou, And, great, is thy Name, for might.
7 Wane ne ba zai girmama ka ba, Ya Sarkin al’ummai? Tsoronka wajibi ne. A cikin dukan masu hikima na al’ummai kuma cikin dukan mulkokinsu, babu kamar ka.
Who would not revere thee, O King of nations? For, thee, doth it beseem; Forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations And throughout all their royal estate, None, there is like unto thee.
8 Dukansu marasa azanci ne wawaye; gumakan itacen banza ne suke koya musu.
But at once, do they become brutish and stupid, —An example of utmost vanity, is, a tree!
9 An kawo ƙeraren azurfa daga Tarshish zinariya kuma daga Ufaz. Abin da gwani da maƙerin zinariya suka yi sa’an nan aka yi masa ado da mulufi da shunayya dukan aikin gwanaye.
Silver spread into plates, from Tarshish is brought, And gold, from Uphaz, Work for the craftsman and for the hands of the smith, —Blue and purple, is their clothing, Work for the skilled, are they all.
10 Amma Ubangiji shi ne Allah na gaskiya; shi ne Allah mai rai, madawwamin sarki. Sa’ad da ya yi fushi, ƙasa takan girgiza; al’ummai ba sa iya jure da hasalarsa.
But, Yahweh, is God in truth, He, is a God that, liveth, And a King of times age-abiding, —At his anger, quaketh the earth, And nations cannot endure his wrath.
11 “Ka faɗa musu wannan, ‘Waɗannan alloli, waɗanda ba su yi sammai da ƙasa ba, za su hallaka daga duniya da kuma daga ƙarƙashin sammai.’”
Thus, shall ye say unto them, The gods that made not the heavens, And the earth, Shall perish out of the earth, And from under these heavens!
12 Amma Allah ya yi duniya ta wurin ikonsa; ya kafa duniya ta wurin hikimarsa ya shimfiɗa sammai ta wurin fahiminsa.
He that made the earth by his power, That established the world by his wisdom, —And by his understanding stretched out the heavens,
13 Sa’ad da ya yi tsawa, ruwaye a cikin sammai sukan yi ƙugi; yakan sa gizagizai su taso daga iyakokin duniya. Yakan aiki walƙiya da ruwan sama ya fitar da iska daga gidajen ajiyarsa.
At the voice that he uttered, there was a tumult of waters in the heavens, And he caused vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth, —The lightnings for rain, he made, And brought forth wind out of his treasuries.
14 Kowa marar azanci ne, marar ilimi; kowane maƙerin zinariya zai sha kunya saboda gumakansa. Siffofinsa ƙarya ne; ba su da numfashi a cikinsu.
Every son of earth hath become too brutish to discern, Every goldsmith, hath been put to shame by a graven image, —For a falsehood, is his molten image, Seeing there is no breath in them.
15 Su ba kome ba ne, aikin ruɗami ne; Sa’ad da hukuncinsu ya yi za su lalace.
Vanity, they are, the handiwork of mockeries, —In the time of their visitation, shall they perish.
16 Shi da yake Rabon Yaƙub ba kamar waɗannan yake ba, gama shi ne Mahaliccin abubuwa duka, har da Isra’ila, kabilar gādonsa Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ne sunansa.
Not like these, is the portion of Jacob, For the fashioner of all things, is, he, And, Israel, is his inherited sceptre, —Yahweh of hosts, is his name.
17 Ku tattara kayayyakinku don ku bar ƙasar, ku da kuke zaune a wurin da aka kewaye da yaƙi.
Fold up, from the ground thy travelling carpet, —O inhabitress of the fortress;
18 Gama haka Ubangiji ya faɗa, “A wannan lokaci zan jefar da waɗanda suke zaune a ƙasar; zan kawo damuwa a kansu domin a kama su.”
For, thus, saith Yahweh, Behold me! slinging out the inhabitants of the land at this throw, —And I will distress them that they may discover it.
19 Tawa ta ƙare, saboda raunin da aka yi mini! Raunina ba mai warkewa ba ne! Duk da haka na ce wa kaina, “Wannan ciwona ne, dole kuma in jure da shi.”
Woe to me! for my grievous injury, Severe, is my wound, —But, I, said, Verily, this, is an affliction and I must bear it:
20 An lalatar da tentina; dukan igiyoyinsa sun tsintsinke.’Ya’yana maza sun bar ni ba sa nan; ba wanda aka bari da zai kafa tentina ko ya kafa mini mafaka.
My tent, is laid waste, And all my tent-cords, are broken, —My children, are gone forth from me and they, are not. There is none, To stretch out any more my tent, Or to set up my curtains.
21 Makiyaya marasa azanci ne kuma ba sa neman nufin Ubangiji; saboda haka ba sa nasara dukan garkensu kuwa ya watse.
For the shepherds, have become brutish, And Yahweh, have they not sought, —For this cause, have they not prospered, And, all their flock, is scattered.
22 Ku saurara! Rahoto yana zuwa babban hargitsi daga ƙasar arewa! Zai mai da garuruwan Yahuda kufai, mazaunin diloli.
The noise of a rumour! lo it hath come! Even a great commotion out of the land of the North, —To make the cities of Judah, A desolation, A den of jackals.
23 Na sani, ya Ubangiji, cewa ran mutum ba nasa ba ne; ba mutum ne yake kiyaye takawarsa ba.
I know O Yahweh, That not to a son of earth, pertaineth his own path, —Not, to the man who walketh, also to direct his own steps.
24 Ka yi mini gyara, Ubangiji, amma fa da adalci kaɗai ba cikin fushinka ba, don kada ka wofinta ni.
Chastise me, O Yahweh But yet in measure, —Not in thine anger, lest thou make me few.
25 Ka zuba hasalarka a kan al’umman da ba su san ka ba, a kan mutanen da ba sa kira bisa sunanka. Gama sun cinye Yaƙub; sun cinye shi gaba ɗaya suka kuma lalace wurin zamansa.
Pour out thy wrath—Upon the nations that know thee not, and Upon the families that, upon thy Name, have not called, —For they have devoured Jacob Yea they have devoured him and consumed him, And, his habitation, have they made desolate.
