< Irmiya 14 >
1 Ga maganar Ubangiji da ta zo wa Irmiya game da fări cewa,
The word of Jehovah that came to Jeremiah concerning the drought.
2 “Yahuda tana makoki biranenta suna fama; suna kuka saboda ƙasar, kuka kuma tana tasowa daga Urushalima.
Judah mourneth, and the gates thereof languish, they are black unto the ground; and the cry of Jerusalem goeth 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.
And their nobles send their little ones for water: they come to the pits, they find no water; they return with their vessels empty; they are ashamed, they are confounded, and have covered their heads.
4 Ƙasa ta tsattsage saboda babu ruwan sama a ƙasar; manoma sun sha kunya suka kuma rufe kawunansu.
Because the ground is chapt, for there hath been no rain on the earth, the ploughmen are ashamed, they cover their heads.
5 Har barewa a kurmi ma ta gudu ta bar’ya’yan da ta haihu sababbi saboda babu ciyawa.
For the hind also calveth in the field, and forsaketh [its young], 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 wild asses stand on the heights, they snuff up the wind like jackals; their eyes fail, because there is no herbage.
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.
Jehovah, though our iniquities testify against us, do thou act for thy name's sake; for our backslidings are many — we have sinned against thee.
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?
Thou hope of Israel, its Saviour in the time of trouble, why wilt thou be as a stranger in the land, and as a traveller that turneth aside to stay 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 wilt thou be as a man astonished, as a mighty man that cannot save? Yet thou, Jehovah, art in the midst of us, and we are called by thy name: leave us not.
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.”
Thus saith Jehovah to this people: Even so have they loved to wander, they have not refrained their feet; and Jehovah hath no delight in them: now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins.
11 Sa’an nan Ubangiji ya ce mini, “Kada ka yi addu’a domin zaman lafiyar mutanen nan.
And Jehovah said unto me, Pray not 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 fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer up burnt-offering and oblation, I will not accept them: for I will consume them by sword, and by famine, and by pestilence.
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.’”
And I said, Alas, Lord Jehovah! Behold, the prophets say unto them, Ye shall not see the sword, neither shall ye have famine; for I will give you assured 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.
And Jehovah said unto me, The prophets prophesy falsehood in my name; I have not sent them, neither have I commanded them, nor spoken unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision, and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart.
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.
Therefore thus saith Jehovah concerning the prophets that prophesy in my name, and I sent them not, and who say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land: By sword and by famine shall those prophets be consumed;
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 prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem, because of the famine and the sword; and there shall be none to bury them, them, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters; and I will pour their wickedness upon 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 thou shalt say this word unto them: Let mine eyes run down with tears, night and day, and not cease; for the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great breach, with a very grievous 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 forth into the field, behold the slain with the sword! and if I enter into the city, behold them that pine away with famine! For both prophet and priest shall go about into a land that they know not.
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.
— Hast thou then utterly rejected Judah? Doth thy soul loathe Zion? Why hast thou smitten us, and there is no healing for us? Peace is looked for, and there is no good, — and a time of healing, and behold terror!
20 Ya Ubangiji, mun gane da muguntarmu da kuma laifin kakanninmu; tabbatacce mun yi maka zunubi.
Jehovah, we acknowledge our wickedness, the iniquity of our fathers; for we have sinned against thee.
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.
For thy name's sake, do not spurn [us], do not disgrace the throne of thy glory: remember, break not thy covenant with us.
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 there any among the vanities of the nations that can cause rain? or can the heavens give showers? Art not thou HE, Jehovah, our God? And we wait upon thee; for thou hast made all these things.
