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.”
The LORD said to me, “Go, and buy yourself a linen belt, and put it on your waist, and don’t put it in water.”
2 Saboda haka na sayo abin ɗamara, yadda Ubangiji ya umarce ni, na kuwa sha ɗamara da shi.
So I bought a belt according to the LORD’s word, and put it on my waist.
3 Sai maganar Ubangiji ta zo mini sau na biyu cewa,
The LORD’s word came to 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 belt that you have bought, which is on your waist, 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 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.”
After many days, the LORD said to me, “Arise, go to the Euphrates, and take the belt from there, which I commanded you 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.
Then I went to the Euphrates, and dug, and took the belt from the place where I had hidden it; and behold, the belt was ruined. It was profitable for nothing.
8 Sai maganar Ubangiji ta zo mini cewa,
Then the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
9 “Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, ‘Haka zan lalatar da alfarmar Yahuda da yawan alfarmar Urushalima.
“The LORD says, ‘In this way I will ruin 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 evil people, who refuse to hear my words, who walk in the stubbornness of their heart, and have gone after other gods to serve them and to worship them, will even be as this belt, which is profitable 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 belt clings to the waist of a man, so I have caused the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah to cling to me,’ says the LORD; ‘that they may be to me for a people, for a name, for praise, and for glory; 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 you shall speak to them this word: ‘The LORD, the God of Israel says, “Every container should be filled with wine.”’ They will tell you, ‘Do we not certainly know that every container should 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 tell them, ‘The LORD says, “Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, even the kings who sit on David’s throne, the priests, 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.’”
I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together,” says the LORD: “I will not pity, spare, or 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, and give ear. Don’t be proud, for the LORD has 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 glory to the LORD your God, before he causes darkness, and before your feet stumble on the dark mountains, and while you look for light, he turns it into the shadow of death, and makes it deep 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 you will not hear it, my soul will weep in secret for your pride. My eye will weep bitterly, and run down with tears, because the LORD’s flock has been taken 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 to the king and to the queen mother, “Humble yourselves. Sit down, for your crowns have come down, even the crown of your glory.
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 captive: all of them. They are wholly carried away captive.
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 who come from the north. Where is the flock that was given to you, your 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 will you say when he sets over you as head those whom you have yourself taught to be friends to you? Won’t sorrows take hold of you, as of 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.
If you say in your heart, “Why have these things come on me?” Your skirts are uncovered because of the greatness of your iniquity, and your heels suffer 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? Then may you also do good, who are accustomed to do evil.
24 “Zan watsar da ku kamar yayin da iskar hamada take hurawa.
“Therefore I will scatter them as the stubble that passes away by 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 your lot, the portion measured to you from me,” says the LORD, “because you have forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood.”
26 Zan kware fatarinku sama ya rufe fuskarku don a iya ga tsiraicinku
Therefore I will also uncover your skirts on your face, and your shame will appear.
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?”
I have seen your abominations, even your adulteries and your neighing, the lewdness of your prostitution, on the hills in the field. Woe to you, Jerusalem! You will not be made clean. How long will it yet be?”
