Irmiya 16
1 Sai maganar Ubangiji ta zo mini cewa,
Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 “Kada ka yi aure ka haifi’ya’ya maza da mata a wannan wuri.”
“You must not marry or have sons or daughters in this place.”
3 Gama ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa game da’ya’ya maza da matan da aka haifa a wannan ƙasa da kuma game da matan da suke iyayensu da suke mazan da iyayensu.
For this is what the LORD says concerning the sons and daughters born in this place, and the mothers who bore them, and the fathers who fathered them in this land:
4 “Za su mutu da muguwar cuta. Ba za a yi kuka dominsu ba, ba kuwa za a binne su ba, amma za a bar su a juji. Takobi da yunwa ne za su hallaka su, gawawwakinsu za su zama abincin tsuntsayen sararin sama da kuma namun jeji na duniya.”
“They will die from deadly diseases. They will not be mourned or buried, but will lie like dung on the ground. They will be finished off by sword and famine, and their corpses will become food for the birds of the air and beasts of the earth.”
5 Gama ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, “Kada ka shiga gidan da akwai abincin makoki; kada ka tafi ka yi makoki ko ka nuna juyayi, domin na janye albarkata, ƙaunata da tausayina daga wannan mutane,” in ji Ubangiji.
Indeed, this is what the LORD says: “Do not enter a house where there is a funeral meal. Do not go to mourn or show sympathy, for I have removed from this people My peace, My loving devotion, and My compassion,” declares the LORD.
6 “Manya da ƙanana duka za su mutu a wannan ƙasa. Ba za a binne su ba, ba kuwa za a yi makokinsu ba, kuma ba wanda zai tsaga kansa ko ya aske kansa saboda su.
“Both great and small will die in this land. They will not be buried or mourned, nor will anyone cut himself or shave his head for them.
7 Ba wanda zai ba da abinci don yă ta’azantar da waɗanda suke makoki saboda matattu, kai, ko saboda mahaifi ko mahaifiya ma ba kuwa wani da zai ba da abin sha don yă ta’azantar da su.
No food will be offered to comfort those who mourn the dead; not even a cup of consolation will be given for the loss of a father or mother.
8 “Kada kuma ka shiga gidan da ake biki ka zauna don ci da sha.
You must not enter a house where there is feasting and sit down with them to eat and drink.
9 Gama ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki, Allah na Isra’ila, yana cewa a idanunka da kuma a kwanakinka zan kawo ƙarshen muryar farin ciki da murna da kuma muryoyin amarya da ango a wannan wuri.
For this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: I am going to remove from this place, before your very eyes and in your days, the sounds of joy and gladness, the voices of the bride and bridegroom.
10 “Sa’ad da ka faɗa wa waɗannan mutane wannan duka suka kuma tambaye ka, ‘Me ya sa Ubangiji ya ƙaddara irin wannan babban masifa a kanmu? Wace mugunta muka yi? Wane zunubi muka aikata wa Ubangiji Allahnmu?’
When you tell these people all these things, they will ask you, ‘Why has the LORD pronounced all this great disaster against us? What is our guilt? What is the sin that we have committed against the LORD our God?’
11 Sai ka ce musu, ‘Wannan ya zama haka domin kakanninku sun rabu da ni,’ in ji Ubangiji, ‘suka bi waɗansu alloli suka kuma bauta musu. Suka rabu da ni, ba su kuwa kiyaye dokata ba.
Then you are to answer them: ‘It is because your fathers have forsaken Me, declares the LORD, and followed other gods, and served and worshiped them. They abandoned Me and did not keep My instruction.
12 Amma kun yi laifi fiye da kakanninku. Duba yadda kowannenku yana bin taurin muguwar zuciyarsa a maimakon yin mini biyayya.
And you have done more evil than your fathers. See how each of you follows the stubbornness of his evil heart instead of obeying Me.
13 Saboda haka zan fitar da ku daga wannan ƙasa zuwa wata ƙasar da ku da kakanninku ba ku taɓa sani ba, a can kuwa za ku bauta wa waɗansu alloli dare da rana, gama ba zan nuna muku tagomashi ba.’
So I will cast you out of this land into a land that neither you nor your fathers have known. There you will serve other gods day and night, for I will show you no favor.’
14 “Amma fa, kwanaki suna zuwa,” in ji Ubangiji, “da mutane ba za su ƙara cewa, ‘Muddin Ubangiji yana raye, wanda ya fitar da Isra’ilawa daga Masar,’
Yet behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when they will no longer say, ‘As surely as the LORD lives, who brought the Israelites up out of the land of Egypt.’
15 amma za su ce, ‘Muddin Ubangiji yana raye, wanda ya fitar da Isra’ilawa daga ƙasar arewa da kuma daga dukan ƙasashe da ya kora su.’ Gama zan komo da su zuwa ƙasar da na ba wa kakanninsu.
Instead they will say, ‘As surely as the LORD lives, who brought the Israelites up out of the land of the north and all the other lands to which He had banished them.’ For I will return them to their land that I gave to their forefathers.
16 “Amma yanzu zan aiko a kira masunta masu yawa su zo,” in ji Ubangiji, “za su kuma kama su. Bayan wannan zan aiko a kira mafarauta su zo, su farauce su daga kowane dutse da tudu da kuma daga kogwannin duwatsu.
But for now I will send for many fishermen, declares the LORD, and they will catch them. After that I will send for many hunters, and they will hunt them down on every mountain and hill, even from the clefts of the rocks.
17 Idanuna suna a kan dukan hanyoyinsu; ba a ɓoye suke daga gare ni, kuma zunubansu ba a ɓoye suke a idanuna ba.
For My eyes are on all their ways. They are not hidden from My face, and their guilt is not concealed from My eyes.
18 Zan riɓaɓɓanya sakayyar da zan yi musu saboda muguntarsu da zunubinsu, domin sun ƙazantar da ƙasata da ƙazantattun gumakansu marasa rai, suka kuma cika abin gādona da gumakansu na banƙyama.”
And I will first repay them double their iniquity and their sin, because they have defiled My land with the carcasses of their detestable idols, and they have filled My inheritance with their abominations.”
19 Ya Ubangiji, ƙarfina da katangana, mafakata a lokacin damuwa, gare ka al’ummai za su zo daga iyakokin duniya su ce, “Kakanninmu ba su mallaki kome ba sai allolin ƙarya, gumakan banza da ba su yi musu amfani ba.
O LORD, my strength and my fortress, my refuge in the day of distress, the nations will come to You from the ends of the earth, and they will say, “Our fathers inherited nothing but lies, worthless idols of no benefit at all.
20 Mutane kan yi allolinsu ne? I, amma waɗannan ba alloli ba ne!”
Can man make gods for himself? Such are not gods!”
21 “Saboda haka zan koya musu a wannan lokaci zan koya musu ikona da ƙarfina. Sa’an nan za su sani cewa sunana Ubangiji ne.
“Therefore behold, I will inform them, and this time I will make them know My power and My might; then they will know that My name is the LORD.
