Irmiya 14
1 Ga maganar Ubangiji da ta zo wa Irmiya game da fări cewa,
This is a message from the Lord that came to Jeremiah regarding the drought:
2 “Yahuda tana makoki biranenta suna fama; suna kuka saboda ƙasar, kuka kuma tana tasowa daga Urushalima.
Judah is in mourning; her towns are wasting away. Her people are weeping for the land, and a cry for help comes from Jerusalem.
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.
Rich people send their servants to get water. They go to the cisterns, but don't find any water. They return with empty jars, disappointed and ashamed, covering their heads.
4 Ƙasa ta tsattsage saboda babu ruwan sama a ƙasar; manoma sun sha kunya suka kuma rufe kawunansu.
The ground has dried up because there hasn't been any rain in the land. The farmers 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.
Even the deer abandons her newborn fawn because there's no grass.
6 Jakan jeji suna tsaye a kan tuddai suna haki kamar diloli; idanunsu sun kāsa gani saboda rashin makiyaya.”
Wild donkeys stand on the bare hills, panting like jackals. Their eyesight fails because they have nothing to eat.
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.
Even though our sins give evidence against us, Lord, please do something for us because of your good nature. Yes, we have rebelled against you so often; we have sinned 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?
You are the hope of Israel, our Savior in times of trouble. Why do you act like a foreigner in our country, like a traveler who only stays 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 do you act like someone caught unawares, like a powerful warrior who can't help? You are here among us, Lord, and we are known as your people. Please don't give up on 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 says about his people: They really love to wander away from me—they don't even try to stop themselves. So the Lord refuses to accept them. Now he'll remember their guilty actions and punish them for their sins.
11 Sa’an nan Ubangiji ya ce mini, “Kada ka yi addu’a domin zaman lafiyar mutanen nan.
The Lord told me, Don't pray for the welfare of this people.
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.”
Even if they fast, I won't listen to their cry. Even though they offer burnt offerings and grain offerings, I won't accept them. On the contrary I will wipe them out by sword and famine and plague.
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.’”
“Oh Lord God!” I answered, “Look what prophets are telling them, claiming to be speaking for you: ‘You won't see war or suffer from famine, but I will give you peace that lasts here 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.
The prophets are prophesying lies in my name, replied the Lord. I didn't send them or choose them or speak to them. It's a lying vision, an empty prediction, a deluded, deceitful product of their own minds that they are prophesying to you.
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 says about such prophets who prophesy in my name: I didn't send them, but even so they say, “This country won't suffer war or famine.” These same prophets will die from war or famine!
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.
The bodies of the people they prophesied to will be thrown into the streets of Jerusalem because of famine and war. There won't be anyone to bury them or their wives, their sons or their daughters. I will pour out their own evil 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.
This is what you are to tell them: Tears flow from my eyes without stopping day or night, because my people have been crushed by a heavy blow, a really serious wound.
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 to the countryside, I see those killed by the sword; if I go into the city, I see those dying by famine. Both prophets and priests wander around the country—they don't know what they're doing.
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 really rejected Judah? Do you hate Zion so much? Why have you wounded us so badly that we can't be healed? We hoped for peace, but instead nothing good has come; we hoped for a time of healing, but instead there was only sudden terror.
20 Ya Ubangiji, mun gane da muguntarmu da kuma laifin kakanninmu; tabbatacce mun yi maka zunubi.
Lord, we admit our wickedness, the guilt of our forefathers as well as our own sins 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.
Because of your own reputation please don't hate us; don't bring dishonor on your glorious throne. Please remember your agreement with us; don't break it.
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.
Can the false gods of the other nations bring rain? Can the skies themselves send showers? No, it's you, Lord our God. So we put our hope in you, because only you can do all this.
