< Irmiya 16 >
1 Sai maganar Ubangiji ta zo mini cewa,
Then The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
2 “Kada ka yi aure ka haifi’ya’ya maza da mata a wannan wuri.”
“You shall not take a wife, neither shall you 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 the LORD says concerning the sons and concerning the daughters who are born in this place, and concerning their mothers who bore them, and concerning their fathers who became their father 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 grievous deaths. They will not be lamented, neither will they be buried. They will be as dung on the surface of the ground. They will be consumed by the sword and by famine. Their dead bodies will be food for the birds of the sky and for the animals 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 the LORD says, “Don’t enter into the house of mourning. Don’t go to lament. Don’t bemoan them, for I have taken away my peace from this people,” says the LORD, “even loving kindness and tender mercies.
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. Men won’t lament for them, cut themselves, or 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.
Men won’t break bread for them in mourning, to comfort them for the dead. Men won’t give them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or for their mother.
8 “Kada kuma ka shiga gidan da ake biki ka zauna don ci da sha.
“You shall not go into the house of feasting 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 the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel says: “Behold, I will cause to cease out of this place, before your eyes and in your days, the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, 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?’
It will happen, when you tell this people all these words, and they ask you, ‘Why has the LORD pronounced all this great evil against us?’ or ‘What is our iniquity?’ or ‘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.
then you shall tell them, ‘Because your fathers have forsaken me,’ says the LORD, ‘and have walked after other gods, have served them, have worshipped them, have forsaken me, and have not kept my law.
12 Amma kun yi laifi fiye da kakanninku. Duba yadda kowannenku yana bin taurin muguwar zuciyarsa a maimakon yin mini biyayya.
You have done evil more than your fathers, for behold, you each walk after the stubbornness of his evil heart, so that you don’t listen to 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 I will cast you out of this land into the land that you have not known, neither you nor your fathers. There you will serve other gods day and night, for I will show you no favour.’
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, the days come,” says the LORD, “that it will no more be said, ‘As the LORD lives, who 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 lives, who brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the countries where he had driven them.’ I will bring them again into their land that I gave to 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,” says the LORD, “and they will fish them up. Afterward I will send for many hunters, and they will hunt them from every mountain, 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 on all their ways. They are not hidden from my face. Their iniquity isn’t 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.”
First I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double, because they have polluted my land with the carcasses of their detestable things, and 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.
LORD, my strength, my stronghold, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the nations will come to you from the ends of the earth, and will say, “Our fathers have inherited nothing but lies, vanity and things in which there is no profit.
20 Mutane kan yi allolinsu ne? I, amma waɗannan ba alloli ba ne!”
Should a man make to himself gods which yet are 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, this once I will cause them to know my hand and my might. Then they will know that my name is the LORD.”
