Irmiya 12
1 Kullum kai mai adalci ne, ya Ubangiji, sa’ad da na kawo ƙara a gabanka. Duk da haka zan yi magana da kai game da shari’arka. Me ya sa mugaye suke nasara? Me ya sa dukan maciya amana suke zama ba damuwa?
You are in the right, O Lord, when I put my cause before you: still let me take up with you the question of your decisions: why does the evil-doer do well? why are the workers of deceit living in comfort?
2 Ka dasa su, sun kuwa yi saiwa; sun yi girma suna ba da’ya’ya. Kullum sunanka yana a bakinsu amma kana nesa da zuciyarsu.
They have been planted by you, they have taken root; they go on and give fruit: you are near in their mouths but far from their thoughts.
3 Duk da haka ka san ni, ya Ubangiji; kana ganina ka kuma gwada tunanina game da kai. Ka ja su kamar tumakin da za a yanka! Ka ware su don ranar yanka!
But you, O Lord, have knowledge of me; you see me, searching and testing how my heart is with you: let them be pulled out like sheep to be put to death, make them ready for the day of death.
4 Har yaushe ƙasar za tă kasance busasshiya ciyawar kowane fili ta bushe? Domin waɗanda suke zaune cikinta mugaye ne, dabbobi da tsuntsaye sun hallaka. Ban da haka ma, mutane suna cewa, “Ba zai ga abin da yake faruwa da mu ba.”
How long will the land have grief, and the plants of all the land be dry? because of the sins of the people living in it, destruction has overtaken the beasts and the birds; because they said, God does not see our ways.
5 “In ka yi tsere da mutane a ƙafa suka kuma gajiyar da kai, yaya za ka yi gasa da dawakai? In ka yi tuntuɓe a lafiyayyiyar ƙasa, ƙaƙa za ka yi a kurmin Urdun?
If running with the fighting-men has made you tired, how will you be able to keep up with horses? and if in a land of peace you go in flight, what will become of you in the thick growth of Jordan?
6 ’Yan’uwanka, iyalinka har su ma sun bashe ka; sun tā da kuka mai ƙarfi a kanka. Kada ka amince da su, ko da yake suna faɗa maganganu masu kyau game da kai.
For even your brothers, your father's family, even they have been untrue to you, crying loudly after you: have no faith in them, though they say fair words to you.
7 “Zan yashe gidana, in rabu da gādona; Zan ba da wadda nake ƙauna a hannuwan abokan gābanta.
I have given up my house, I have let my heritage go; I have given the loved one of my soul into the hands of her haters.
8 Gādona ya zama mini kamar zaki a kurmi. Yana mini ruri; saboda haka na ƙi shi.
My heritage has become like a lion in the woodland to me; her voice has been loud against me; so I have hate for her.
9 Ashe, gādona bai zama mini kamar dabbare dabbaren tsuntsu mai cin nama da sauran tsuntsaye masu cin nama suka kewaye shi da faɗa ba? Tafi ka tattaro dukan namun jeji; ka kawo su su ci.
My heritage is like a brightly coloured bird to me; the cruel birds are attacking her on every side: go, get together all the beasts of the field, make them come for destruction.
10 Makiyaya masu yawa za su lalace gonar inabina su tattake gonata; za su mai da gonata mai kyau kango marar amfani.
The keepers of sheep have been the destruction of my vine-garden, crushing my heritage under their feet; they have made my fair heritage an unplanted waste;
11 Za tă zama kango, busasshiya da kuma kango a gabana; ƙasar duka za tă zama kango domin ba wanda ya kula.
They have made it waste; it is weeping to me, being wasted; all the land is made waste, because no man takes it to heart.
12 A kan dukan tsaunukan nan na hamada masu hallakarwa za su zo, gama takobin Ubangiji zai ci daga wannan iyaka ƙasa zuwa wancan; ba wanda zai zauna lafiya.
Those who make waste have come on all the open hilltops in the waste land; for the sword of the Lord sends destruction from one end of the land to the other end of the land: no flesh has peace.
13 Za su shuka alkama, su girbe ƙayayyuwa; za su gajiyar da kansu, ba za su kuwa sami kome ba. Saboda haka ku sha kunyar abin da kuka girbe saboda zafin fushin Ubangiji.”
Though good grain was planted, they have got in thorns: they have given themselves pain without profit: they will be shamed on account of their produce, because of the burning wrath of the Lord.
14 Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, “Game da dukan mugayen maƙwabtana waɗanda suka ƙwace gādon da na ba wa mutanena Isra’ila kuwa, zan tumɓuke su daga ƙasashensu zan kuma tumɓuke gidan Yahuda daga cikinsu.
This is what the Lord has said against all my evil neighbours, who put their hands on the heritage which I gave my people Israel: See, I will have them uprooted from their land, uprooting the people of Judah from among them.
15 Amma bayan na tumɓuke su, zan sāke jin tausayi in komo da kowannensu zuwa gādonsa da kuma ƙasarsa.
And it will come about that, after they have been uprooted, I will again have pity on them; and I will take them back, every man to his heritage and every man to his land.
16 In kuma suka koyi al’amuran mutanena sosai suka kuma yi rantsuwa da sunana, suna cewa, ‘Muddin Ubangiji yana raye’ kamar yadda sun taɓa koya wa jama’ata yin rantsuwa da Ba’al, sa’an nan za su kahu a cikin jama’ata.
And it will be that, if they give their minds to learning the ways of my people, using my name in their oaths, By the living Lord; as they have been teaching my people to take oaths by the Baal; then their place will be made certain among my people.
17 Amma duk al’ummar da ba tă saurara ba, zan tumɓuke ta ɗungum in kuma hallaka ta,” in ji Ubangiji.
But if they will not give ear, then I will have that nation uprooted, and given to destruction, says the Lord.
