Irmiya 13
1 Ga abin da Ubangiji ya faɗa mini, “Tafi ka sayo abin ɗamara na lilin ka sha ɗamara da shi, amma kada ka bari yă taɓa ruwa.”
Thus said the Lord unto me, Go and buy thee a linen girdle, and put it around thy loins, and lay it not in water.
2 Saboda haka na sayo abin ɗamara, yadda Ubangiji ya umarce ni, na kuwa sha ɗamara da shi.
So I bought the girdle, according to the word of the Lord, and put it around my loins.
3 Sai maganar Ubangiji ta zo mini sau na biyu cewa,
And the word of the Lord came unto me the second time, saying,
4 “Ka ɗauki abin ɗamara da ka sayo, wanda ka ɗaura, ka tafi yanzu zuwa Fera ka ɓoye shi a cikin kogon dutse.”
Take the girdle that thou hast bought, which is around thy loins; and arise, go to the Euphrates, and hide it there in a cleft of the rock.
5 Saboda haka na tafi na ɓoye shi a Fera, yadda Ubangiji ya ce mini.
So I went, and hid it by the Euphrates, as the Lord has commanded me.
6 Bayan’yan kwanaki sai Ubangiji ya ce mini, “Tafi yanzu zuwa Fera ka ɗauko abin ɗamara da na ce maka ka ɓoye a can.”
And it came to pass at the end of many days, that the Lord said unto me, Arise, go to the Euphrates, and take from there the girdle, which I commanded thee to hide there.
7 Sai na tafi Fera da haka na ɗauko abin ɗamara daga wurin da na ɓoye shi, amma abin ɗamara yanzu ya lalace ya zama ba shi da amfani sam.
And I went to the Euphrates, and dug, and took the girdle from the place where I had hidden it: and, behold, the girdle was spoiled, it was useful for nothing.
8 Sai maganar Ubangiji ta zo mini cewa,
Then came the word of the Lord unto me, saying,
9 “Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, ‘Haka zan lalatar da alfarmar Yahuda da yawan alfarmar Urushalima.
Thus hath said the Lord, After this manner will I destroy the pride of Judah, and the pride of Jerusalem, which is great.
10 Waɗannan mugayen mutane, waɗanda suka ƙi saurari maganata, waɗanda suka biye wa taurin zuciyarsu suka bi waɗansu alloli don su bauta su kuma yi musu sujada, za su zama kamar wannan abin ɗamara gaba ɗaya marasa amfani!
And this bad people, who refuse to hearken to my words, who walk in the stubbornness of their heart, and have followed other gods, to serve them, and to bow down to them, shall even be as this girdle which is useful for nothing.
11 Gama kamar yadda abin ɗamara kan kame gindin mutum tam, haka zan daure dukan gidan Isra’ila da dukan gidan Yahuda gare ni,’ in ji Ubangiji, ‘domin su zama jama’a, da suna, da yabo, da daraja a gare ni, amma sun ƙi ji.’
For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, so had I caused to cleave unto me all the house of Israel and all the house of Judah, saith the Lord, —to become unto me a people, and [to be] for a name, and for praise, and for honor; but they would not hear.
12 “Faɗa musu cewa, ‘Ga abin da Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila, yana cewa a cika kowace salkar ruwan inabi da ruwan inabi.’ In kuwa suka ce maka, ‘Ba mu san cewa ya kamata a cika kowace salkar ruwan inabi da ruwan inabi ba?’
Therefore shalt thou say unto them this word, Thus hath said the Lord the God of Israel, Every bottle shall be filled with wine: and when they will say unto thee, Do we not know full well that every bottle shall be filled with wine?
13 Sai ka ce musu, ‘Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, zan cika dukan waɗanda suke zama a ƙasar da buguwa, har ma da sarakunan da suke zama a kursiyin Dawuda, firistoci, annabawa da dukan waɗanda suke zaune a Urushalima.
Then shalt thou say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, even the kings that sit after David upon his throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with drunkenness.
14 Zan fyaɗe su a kan juna, iyaye da’ya’yansu maza, in ji Ubangiji. Tausayi ko jinƙai, ko juyayi ba zai hana ni hallaka su ba.’”
And I will dash them one against the other, even the fathers and the sons together, saith the Lord: I will not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy, so as not to destroy them.
15 Ku ji ku kuma saurara, kada ku yi girman kai, gama Ubangiji ya yi magana.
Hear ye, and bend your ear: be not proud; for the Lord hath spoken.
16 Ku ɗaukaka Ubangiji Allahnku kafin ya kawo duhu, kafin ƙafafunku su yi tuntuɓe a kan tuddai masu duhu. Za ku sa zuciya ganin haske amma zai mai da shi duhu mai kauri ya kuma canja shi zuwa duhu baƙi ƙirin.
Give unto the Lord your God glory, before he cause darkness, and before your feet strike upon the mountains of twilight, and [where], while ye look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and change it into gross darkness.
17 Amma in ba ku saurara ba, zan yi kuka a ɓoye saboda girmankanku; idanuna za su yi kuka mai zafi, suna zub da hawaye ƙwarai, domin zan kwashe garken Ubangiji zuwa zaman bauta.
But if ye will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret places because of [your] pride; and my eye shall weep sorely, and run down with tears, because the flock of the Lord is driven away captive.
18 Ka faɗa wa sarki da kuma mahaifiyar sarauniya cewa, “Ku sauko daga kursiyinku, gama rawaninku na ɗaukaka za su fāɗi daga kawunanku.”
Say unto the king and to the queen-mother, Sit down very lowly; for sunk down are your head-attires, the crown of your ornament.
19 Za a kulle biranen da suke a Negeb, kuma babu wanda zai buɗe su. Za a kwashe dukan Yahuda zuwa zaman bauta, za a kwashe su tas.
The cities of the south are shut up, and there is no one to open them: Judah is carried away into exile altogether, it is carried into exile completely.
20 Ku tā da idanunku ku ga waɗanda suke zuwa daga arewa. Ina garken da aka ba ku tumakin da kuke taƙama a kai?
Lift up your eyes, and see those that are coming from the north: where is the flock that was given thee, thy splendid flock?
21 Me za ku ce sa’ad da Ubangiji ya naɗa muku waɗanda ku kanku kuka koya musu a matsayi abokai na musamman? Ashe, azaba ba za tă auko muku kamar na mace mai naƙuda ba?
What wilt thou say when he will punish thee? since thou hast accustomed them to be over thee captains, and chiefs? shall not pangs seize upon thee, as on a woman in travail?
22 In kuma kuka tambaye kanku “Me ya sa wannan ya faru da mu?” Wannan kuwa saboda yawan zunubanku ne ya sa fatarinku ya yage aka kuma wahalshe jikinku.
And if thou wilt say in thy heart, Wherefore come these things upon me? For the greatness of thy iniquity are thy skirts laid open, thy heels are made bare violently.
23 Mutumin Habasha zai iya canja launin fatar jikinsa ko damisa ta canja dabbare dabbarenta? Ba za ku iya yin alheri ku da kuka saba da yin mugunta ba.
Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? [then] may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.
24 “Zan watsar da ku kamar yayin da iskar hamada take hurawa.
Therefore will I scatter them as the stubble that passeth away before the wind of the wilderness.
25 Rabonku ne wannan, sashen da na auka muku,” in ji Ubangiji “domin kun manta da ni kuka kuma dogara ga allolin ƙarya.
This is thy lot, the portion of thy measures from me, saith the Lord; because thou hast forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood.
26 Zan kware fatarinku sama ya rufe fuskarku don a iya ga tsiraicinku
Therefore do I also strip up thy skirts over thy face, that thy shame may be seen.
27 zinace zinacenku da haniniya kamar dawakai, karuwancinku na bankunya! Na ga ayyukanku na banƙyama a kan tuddai da kuma a filaye. Kaitonki, ya Urushalima! Har yaushe za ki ci gaba da rashin tsarki?”
Thy adulteries and thy loud shoutings, the lewdness of thy incest, thy abominations on the hills in the fields have I seen. Woe unto thee, O Jerusalem! thou wilt not be made clean after ever so long a time.
