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?
Righteous art thou, O Lord, that I may make my defence to thee, yea, I will speak to thee [of] judgments. Why [is it] that the way of ungodly [men] prospers? [that] all that deal very treacherously are flourishing?
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.
Thou hast planted them, and they have taken root; they have begotten children, and become fruitful; thou art near to their mouth, and far from their reins.
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 thou, Lord, knowest me; thou hast proved my heart before thee; purify them for the day of their slaughter.
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 shall the land mourn, and the grass of the field wither, for the wickedness of them, that dwell in it? the beasts and birds are utterly destroyed; because [the people] said, God shall 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?
Thy feet run, and they cause thee to faint; how wilt thou prepare [to ride] upon horses? and thou hast been confident in the land of thy peace? how wilt thou do in the roaring 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 thy brethren and the house of thy father, even these have dealt treacherously with thee; and they have cried out, they are gathered together in pursuit of thee; trust not thou in them, though they shall speak fair [words] to thee.
7 “Zan yashe gidana, in rabu da gādona; Zan ba da wadda nake ƙauna a hannuwan abokan gābanta.
I have forsaken mine house, I have left mine heritage; I have given my beloved one into the hands of her enemies.
8 Gādona ya zama mini kamar zaki a kurmi. Yana mini ruri; saboda haka na ƙi shi.
My inheritance has become to me as a lion in a forest; she has uttered her voice against me; therefore have I hated 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.
Is not my inheritance to me a hyaena's cave, or a cave round about her? Go ye, gather together all the wild beasts of the field, and let them come to devour her.
10 Makiyaya masu yawa za su lalace gonar inabina su tattake gonata; za su mai da gonata mai kyau kango marar amfani.
Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard, they have defiled my portion, they have made my desirable portion a trackless wilderness;
11 Za tă zama kango, busasshiya da kuma kango a gabana; ƙasar duka za tă zama kango domin ba wanda ya kula.
it is made a complete ruin: for my sake the whole land has been utterly ruined, because there is none that lays [the matter] 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.
The ravagers are come to every passage in the wilderness: for the sword of the Lord will devour from one end of the land to the other: no flesh has any 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.”
Sow wheat, and reap thorns; their portions shall not profit them: be ashamed of your boasting, because of reproach before 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.
For thus saith the Lord, concerning all the evil neighbours that touch mine inheritance, which I have divided to my people Israel; Behold, I [will] draw them away from their land, and I will cast out Juda from the midst of them.
15 Amma bayan na tumɓuke su, zan sāke jin tausayi in komo da kowannensu zuwa gādonsa da kuma ƙasarsa.
And it shall come to pass, after I have cast them out, [that] I will return, and have mercy upon them, and will cause them to dwell every one in his inheritance, and every one in 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 shall be, if they will indeed learn the way of my people, to swear by my name, [saying], The Lord lives; as they taught my people to swear by Baal; then shall [that nation] be built in the midst of 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 return, then will I cut off that nation with utter ruin and destruction.
