Irmiya 16
1 Sai maganar Ubangiji ta zo mini cewa,
And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
2 “Kada ka yi aure ka haifi’ya’ya maza da mata a wannan wuri.”
Thou shalt not take thyself a wife, neither shalt thou 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 thus hath said the Lord concerning the sons and concerning the daughters that are born in this place, and concerning their mothers that bear them, and concerning their fathers that beget 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.”
A death through diseases of famine shall they die; they shall not be lamented for; nor shall they be buried; for dung upon the face of the earth shall they be: and by the sword and by famine shall they come to their end; and their carcasses shall be for food unto the fowls of heaven, and unto the 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.
For thus hath said the Lord, Enter not into the house of mourning, neither go to lament nor to condole with them; for I have taken away my peace from this people, saith the Lord, yea, kindness and mercy.
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.
And both the great and the small shall die in this land, — they shall not be buried, and men shall not lament for them, nor cut themselves, nor make themselves bald 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.
Nor shall they break bread for them at their mourning, to comfort them for the dead; nor shall they give them to drink the cup of consolation for their father and for their mother.
8 “Kada kuma ka shiga gidan da ake biki ka zauna don ci da sha.
And into the house of feasting shalt thou not enter, to sit with them, to eat and to 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 thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will cause to cease out of this place before your eyes, and in your days, the voice of gladness, and the voice of joy, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride.
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?’
And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt tell this people all these words, and they should say unto thee, Wherefore hath the Lord spoken against us all this great evil? and what is our iniquity? and what is our 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.
That thou shalt say unto them, Because your fathers forsook me, saith the Lord, and walked after other gods, and served them, and bowed down unto them, and me they forsook, and my law they kept not;
12 Amma kun yi laifi fiye da kakanninku. Duba yadda kowannenku yana bin taurin muguwar zuciyarsa a maimakon yin mini biyayya.
And ye act worse than your fathers; for, behold, ye walk every one after the stubbornness of his evil heart, so as not to hearken unto 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.’
Therefore will I hurl you out of this land into the land of which ye had no knowledge, neither ye nor your fathers; and ye will serve there other gods by day and by night; so that I will not grant you any 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,’
Therefore, behold, days are coming, saith the Lord, when it shall not he said any more, As the Lord liveth, who hath brought up the children of Israel 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.
But, As the Lord liveth, who hath brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the countries whither he had driven them: and I will cause them to return unto their land which I have given unto their fathers.
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.
Behold, I will send for many fishermen, saith the Lord, and they shall fish them; and after that will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of 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 directed upon all their ways, they are not hidden from my face, nor is their iniquity 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 [thus] will I pay them at the first their two-fold iniquity and their sin; because they have defiled my land, filling my heritage with the carcasses of their detestable and abominable idols.
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, and my refuge on the day of trouble, unto thee shall nations come from the ends of the earth, and say, Nothing but falsehood had our fathers inherited, vanity, wherein there is no profit.
20 Mutane kan yi allolinsu ne? I, amma waɗannan ba alloli ba ne!”
How? can a man make unto himself gods, which are yet no 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 cause them to know, at this time will I cause them to know, my hand and my might: and they shall know that my name is The Eternal.
