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 Yahweh unto me, —Go and buy for thyself a linen girdle, and put upon thy loins, —but in water, shalt thou not place it.
2 Saboda haka na sayo abin ɗamara, yadda Ubangiji ya umarce ni, na kuwa sha ɗamara da shi.
So I bought a girdle according to the word of Yahweh, —and put upon my loins.
3 Sai maganar Ubangiji ta zo mini sau na biyu cewa,
Then came the word of Yahweh unto me 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 which thou hast bought which is upon thy loins, —and arise go to the Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the cliff.
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 Yahweh had 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 Yahweh said unto me, —Arise go to the Euphrates, and take from thence 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.
So I went to the Euphrates, and digged, and took the girdle out of the place where I had hidden it, —and lo! the girdle was spoiled, it was good for nothing,
8 Sai maganar Ubangiji ta zo mini cewa,
Then came the word of Yahweh unto me saying:
9 “Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, ‘Haka zan lalatar da alfarmar Yahuda da yawan alfarmar Urushalima.
Thus, saith Yahweh, —After this manner, will I spoil the pride of Judah and the great pride of Jerusalem.
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!
This wicked people who are refusing to hear my words, who are walking in the stubbornness of their heart, and have gone after other gods, to serve them and to bow down to them, yea let them be like this girdle, which is good 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 a girdle cleaveth unto the loins of a man, so caused I to cleave unto me—the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah Declareth Yahweh, to become mine—For a people, and For a name, and For a praise and For an adorning, —but they hearkened not.
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, saith Yahweh God of Israel, Every jar, is to be filled with wine; and they will say unto thee, Do we not, know well, that every jar, is to 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, saith Yahweh—Behold me! filling all the inhabitants of this land Even the kings that are sitting for 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 every man against his brother even the fathers and the sons together, Declareth Yahweh, —I will not pity, Neither will I spare, Neither will I have compassion, that I should not destroy them.
15 Ku ji ku kuma saurara, kada ku yi girman kai, gama Ubangiji ya yi magana.
Hear ye and give ear, be not haughty, —For Yahweh, 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 ye to Yahweh your God—glory, Before he cause darkness, and Before your feet stumble upon the twilight mountains; Lest, when ye wait for light, He turn it into the shadow of death, And change it for thick 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, In secret places, shall my soul weep Because of the pride, And mine eye, shall flow over, and run down with tears, Because captive hath been taken the flock of Yahweh.
18 Ka faɗa wa sarki da kuma mahaifiyar sarauniya cewa, “Ku sauko daga kursiyinku, gama rawaninku na ɗaukaka za su fāɗi daga kawunanku.”
Say thou to the king and to the queen-mother, Abase yourselves—Sit down, —For descended have your Head-tires, your Crown of adornment.
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 And there is none to open, —Judah hath been carried away captive, She hath altogether been carried away captive in full number.
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 Them who are coming in from the North, —Where is The flock that was given thee, Thy beautiful 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 shall bring punishment upon thee, Since, thou thyself, hast accustomed them to be over thee as friends in chief? Shall not, pangs, seize thee, as of a woman in childbirth?
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.
But if thou say in thy heart, Wherefore have these things befallen me? For the greatness of thine iniquity have Thy skirts been turned aside Thy heels suffered violence!
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? Even, ye, may be able to do right, Who are accustomed to do wrong.
24 “Zan watsar da ku kamar yayin da iskar hamada take hurawa.
Therefore have I scattered them, As broken straw passing away, by the wind of the desert.
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 Thy measured portion from me, Declareth Yahweh; For that thou didst forget me, And confide in falsehood:
26 Zan kware fatarinku sama ya rufe fuskarku don a iya ga tsiraicinku
Therefore, even I myself, have drawn away thy skirts, over thy face, And thy shame hath been 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?”
Thine adulteries and thy neighings, thine unchaste wickedness, Upon the hills in the field, I have seen thine abominations! Woe to thee, O Jerusalem, Wilt thou not become pure? After how long yet?
