< Irmiya 14 >
1 Ga maganar Ubangiji da ta zo wa Irmiya game da fări cewa,
The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah when there was no water.
2 “Yahuda tana makoki biranenta suna fama; suna kuka saboda ƙasar, kuka kuma tana tasowa daga Urushalima.
Judah is weeping and its doors are dark with sorrow, and people are seated on the earth clothed in black; and the cry of Jerusalem has gone up.
3 Manyan mutane suna aika bayinsu su ɗebo ruwa a maɓulɓulai amma babu ruwa. Suka dawo da tulunansu haka nan; da kunya da kuma ƙasƙanci, da kawunansu a rufe.
Their great men have sent their servants for water: they come to the holes and there is no water to be seen; they come back with nothing in their vessels; they are overcome with shame and fear, covering their heads.
4 Ƙasa ta tsattsage saboda babu ruwan sama a ƙasar; manoma sun sha kunya suka kuma rufe kawunansu.
Those who do work on the land are in fear, for there has been no rain on the land, and the farmers are shamed, covering their heads.
5 Har barewa a kurmi ma ta gudu ta bar’ya’yan da ta haihu sababbi saboda babu ciyawa.
And the roe, giving birth in the field, lets her young one be uncared for, because there is no grass.
6 Jakan jeji suna tsaye a kan tuddai suna haki kamar diloli; idanunsu sun kāsa gani saboda rashin makiyaya.”
And the asses of the field on the open hilltops are opening their mouths wide like jackals to get air; their eyes are hollow because there is no grass.
7 Ko da yake zunubanmu suna ba da shaida a kanmu, Ya Ubangiji, ka yi wani abu saboda sunanka. Gama jan bayanmu ya yi yawa; mun yi maka zunubi.
Though our sins give witness against us, do something, O Lord, for the honour of your name: for again and again we have been turned away from you, we have done evil against you.
8 Ya kai, Sa Zuciyar Isra’ila, Mai Cetonsa a lokutan wahala, me ya sa kake yi kamar baƙo a ƙasar, kamar matafiyi wanda yake shirya wuri don yă kwana gari ya waye ya wuce?
O you hope of Israel, its saviour in time of trouble, why are you like one who is strange in the land, and like a traveller putting up his tent for a night?
9 Me ya sa kake yi kamar mutumin da aka far masa kwasam ba zato, kamar jarumi marar ƙarfin ceto? Kana a cikinmu, ya Ubangiji, da sunanka ake kiranmu; kada ka yashe mu!
Why are you like a man surprised, like a man of war who is not able to give help? but you, O Lord, are with us, and we are named by your name; do not go away from us.
10 Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce game da wannan mutane, “Suna son yawace-yawace ƙwarai; ba sa hana ƙafafunsu yawo. Saboda haka Ubangiji bai yarda da su ba; yanzu zai tuna da muguntarsu zai kuma hukunta su saboda zunubansu.”
This is what the Lord has said about this people: Even so they have been glad to go from the right way; they have not kept their feet from wandering, so the Lord has no pleasure in them; now he will keep their wrongdoing in mind and send punishment for their sins.
11 Sa’an nan Ubangiji ya ce mini, “Kada ka yi addu’a domin zaman lafiyar mutanen nan.
And the Lord said to me, Make no prayer for this people for their good.
12 Ko da yake suna azumi, ba zan saurari kukansu ba, ko da yake suna miƙa hadayun ƙonawa da hadayun gari, ba zan yarda da su ba. A maimako zan hallaka su da takobi, yunwa da annoba.”
When they go without food, I will not give ear to their cry; when they give burned offerings and meal offerings, I will not take pleasure in them: but I will put an end to them by the sword and by need of food and by disease.
13 Amma na ce, “A, Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka, annabawa sun riƙa ce musu, ‘Ba za ku ga takobi ko ku yi fama da yunwa ba. A maimako, zan ba ku madawwamiyar salama.’”
Then I said, Ah, Lord God! see, the prophets say to them, You will not see the sword or be short of food; but I will give you certain peace in this place.
14 Sai Ubangiji ya ce mini, “Annabawa suna ta annabcin ƙarya da sunana. Ban aike su ba, ban kuma naɗa su ba, ban yi musu magana ba. Suna muku annabci wahayin ƙarya, suna muku duba marar amfani, suna bautar gumaka suna kuma bayyana tunanin kansu ne.
Then the Lord said to me, The prophets say false words in my name, and I gave them no orders, and I said nothing to them: what they say to you is a false vision and wonder-working words without substance, the deceit of their hearts.
15 Saboda haka, ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce game da annabawan da suke annabci da sunana. Ban aike su ba, duk da haka suna cewa, ‘Babu takobi ko yunwar da zai taɓa wannan ƙasa.’ Waɗannan annabawa takobi da yunwa za su hallaka su.
So this is what the Lord has said about the prophets who make use of my name, though I sent them not, and say, The sword and need of food will not be in this land: the sword and need of food will put an end to those prophets.
16 Mutanen da suke musu annabcin kuwa za a kore su zuwa titunan Urushalima saboda yunwa da kuma takobi. Babu wanda zai binne su, ko ya binne matansu, ko’ya’yansu maza da mata. Zan aukar musu da masifar da ya dace da su.
And the people to whom they are prophets will be pushed out dead into the streets of Jerusalem, because there is no food, and because of the sword; and they will have no one to put their bodies into the earth, them or their wives or their sons or their daughters: for I will let loose their evil-doing on them.
17 “Ka yi musu wannan magana, “‘Bari idanuna su yi ta zub da hawaye dare da rana kada su daina; saboda’yata budurwa, mutanena, sun sha wahalar babban rauni, an yi musu bugu mai ragargazawa.
And you are to say this word to them, Let my eyes be streaming with water night and day, and let it not be stopped; for the virgin daughter of my people is wounded with a great wound, with a very bitter blow.
18 In na shiga cikin ƙasar, na ga waɗanda takobi ya kashe; in na shiga cikin birni, na ga waɗanda suke fama da yunwa. Da Annabi da firist duk sun tafi ƙasar da ba su sani ba.’”
If I go out into the open country, there are those put to death by the sword! and if I go into the town, there are those who are diseased from need of food! for the prophet and the priest go about in the land and have no knowledge.
19 Ka ƙi Yahuda ɗungum ke nan? Kana ƙyamar Sihiyona ne? Me ya sa ka buge mu don kada mu warke? Mun sa zuciya ga salama babu abin alherin da ya zo, mun sa rai ga lokacin warkarwa amma sai ga razana.
Have you completely given up Judah? is your soul turned in disgust from Zion? why have you given us blows from which there is no one to make us well? we were looking for peace, but no good came; and for a time of well-being, but there was only a great fear.
20 Ya Ubangiji, mun gane da muguntarmu da kuma laifin kakanninmu; tabbatacce mun yi maka zunubi.
We are conscious, O Lord, of our sin and of the wrongdoing of our fathers: we have done evil against you.
21 Saboda sunanka kada ka ƙi mu; kada ka ƙasƙantar da kursiyoyinka mai ɗaukaka. Ka tuna da alkawarinka da mu kada ka tā da shi.
Do not be turned from us in disgust, because of your name; do not put shame on the seat of your glory: keep us in mind, let not your agreement with us be broken.
22 Akwai wani daga cikin gumaka marasa amfani na al’ummai da ya kawo ruwan sama? Sararin sama kansu sukan yi yayyafi? A’a, kai ne, ya Ubangiji Allahnmu. Saboda haka sa zuciyarmu tana a kanka, gama kai ne kake yi wannan duka.
Are any of the false gods of the nations able to make rain come? are the heavens able to give showers? are you not he, O Lord our God? so we will go on waiting for you, for you have done all these things.
