Irmiya 17
1 “An rubuta zunubin Yahuda da alƙalamin ƙarfe, an rubuta da tsinin dutse, a kan allunan zukatansu da kuma a kan ƙahonin bagadansu.
The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, and with the point of a diamond. It is engraved upon the tablet of their heart, and upon the horns of your altars,
2 Har’ya’yansu ma sun tuna bagadansu da ginshiƙan Asheransu kusa da itatuwa masu duhuwa da kuma a kan tuddai masu tsayi.
while their sons remember their altars and their Asherim by the green trees upon the high hills.
3 Dutsena a ƙasar da dukiyarku na ƙasar da dukan arzikinku za a ba da su ganima, tare da masujadanku na kan tuddai, saboda zunubi ko’ina a ƙasarku.
O my mountain in the field, I will give thy substance and all thy treasures for a spoil, and thy high places, because of sin, throughout all thy borders.
4 Saboda laifinku za ku rasa gādon da na ba ku. Zan bautar da ku ga abokan gābanku a ƙasar da ba ku sani ba, domin kun husata ni, zai kuwa ci har abada.”
And thou, even of thyself, shall discontinue from thy heritage that I gave thee, and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in the land which thou know not. For ye have kindled a fire in my anger which shall burn forever.
5 Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, “La’ananne ne mutumin da yake dogara ga mutum, wanda ya dogara ga jiki don ƙarfi wanda kuma zuciyarsa ta juya wa Ubangiji baya.
Thus says Jehovah: Cursed is the man who trusts in man, and makes flesh his arm, and whose heart departs from Jehovah.
6 Zai zama kamar ɗan kurmi a ƙasar da take kango; ba za su ga arziki sa’ad da ya zo ba. Za su zauna a busassun wuraren hamada, a cikin ƙasar gishiri inda ba kowa.
For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good comes, but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, a salt land and not inhabited.
7 “Amma mai albarka ne mutumin da yake dogara ga Ubangiji, wanda ƙarfin halinsa yana daga Ubangiji.
Blessed is the man who trusts in Jehovah, and whose trust Jehovah is.
8 Za su zama kamar itacen da aka dasa kusa da ruwa wanda ya miƙa saiwoyinsa zuwa cikin rafi. Ba ya jin tsoro sa’ad da zafi ya zo; ganyayensa kullum kore suke. Ba shi da damuwa a shekarar fări ba ya taɓa fasa ba da’ya’ya.”
For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, that spreads out its roots by the river, and shall not fear when heat comes, but its leaf shall be green, and shall not be worried in the year of drought, nor shall cease from yielding fruit.
9 Zuciya ta fi kome ruɗu ta fi ƙarfin warkewa. Wa zai iya gane ta?
The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly corrupt. Who can know it?
10 “Ni Ubangiji nakan bincike zuciya in gwada tunani, don in sāka wa kowane mutum bisa ga halinsa, bisa ga ayyukansa.”
I, Jehovah, search the mind. I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.
11 Kamar makwarwar da ta kwanta a kan ƙwan da ba ita ta zuba ba haka yake da mutumin da ya sami arziki a hanyar da ba daidai ba. A tsakiyar rayuwarsa za su rabu da shi, a ƙarshe kuma zai zama wawa.
As the partridge that sits on eggs which she has not laid, so is he who gets riches, and not by right. In the midst of his days they shall leave him, and at his end he shall be a fool.
12 Kursiyi mai daraja, da aka ɗaukaka tun daga farko, shi ne wuri mai tsarkinmu.
A glorious throne, set on high from the beginning, is the place of our sanctuary.
13 Ya Ubangiji, sa zuciyar Isra’ila, duk waɗanda suka rabu da kai za su sha kunya. Waɗanda suka juya maka baya za a rubuta su a ƙura domin sun yashe Ubangiji, maɓulɓular ruwan rai.
O Jehovah, the hope of Israel, all who forsake thee shall be put to shame. Those who depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken Jehovah, the fountain of living waters.
14 Ka warkar da ni, ya Ubangiji, zan kuwa warke; ka cece ni zan kuwa cetu, gama kai ne nake yabo.
Heal me, O Jehovah, and I shall be healed. Save me, and I shall be saved, for thou are my praise.
15 Sun riƙa ce mini, “Ina maganar Ubangiji take? Bari tă cika yanzu!”
Behold, they say to me, Where is the word of Jehovah? Let it come now.
16 Ban gudu zaman mai yin maka kiwo ba; ka sani ban marmarin ranan nan ta masifa ba. Abin da ya fito daga leɓunana kuwa, a bayyane suke gare ka.
As for me, I have not hastened from being a shepherd after thee, nor have I desired the woeful day. Thou know. That which came out of my lips was before thy face.
17 Kada ka zama mini abin razana; kai ne mafakata a ranar masifa.
Be not a terror to me. Thou are my refuge in the day of evil.
18 Bari masu tsananta mini su sha kunya, amma ka kiyaye ni daga shan kunya; bari su tsorata, amma ka kiyaye ni da razana. Ka kawo musu ranar masifa; ka hallaka su da hallaka riɓi biyu.
Let them be put to shame who persecute me, but let me not be put to shame. Let them be dismayed, but let me not be dismayed. Bring upon them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.
19 Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce mini, “Ka je ka tsaya a ƙofar mutane, inda sarakunan Yahuda sukan shiga su fita; ka tsaya kuma a dukan sauran ƙofofin Urushalima.
Thus Jehovah said to me, Go, and stand in the gate of the sons of the people, by which the kings of Judah come in, and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem.
20 Ka ce musu, ‘Ku ji maganar Ubangiji, ku sarakunan Yahuda, da dukan mutanen Yahuda da dukan mazaunan Urushalima waɗanda suke bi ta waɗannan ƙofofi.
And say to them, Hear ye the word of Jehovah, ye kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, who enter in by these gates.
21 Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, ku yi hankali kada ku ɗauki kaya a ranar Asabbaci ko ku shigar da shi ta ƙofofin Urushalima.
Thus says Jehovah: Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem.
22 Kada ku fitar da kayan gidajenku ko ku yi wani aiki a ranar Asabbaci mai tsarki, yadda na umarci kakanni-kakanninku.
Neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the sabbath day, nor do ye any work. But hallow ye the sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers.
23 Duk da haka ba su saurara ba, ba su kuwa mai da hankali ba; suka taurare ba su kuwa saurara ko su karɓi horo ba.
But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, and might not receive instruction.
24 Amma in kuka yi hankali kuka yi mini biyayya, in ji Ubangiji, ba ku kuwa shigar da kaya ta ƙofofi a ranar Asabbaci ba, amma kuka kiyaye ranar Asabbaci da tsarki ba tare da yin wani aiki a cikinta ba,
And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken to me, says Jehovah, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, but to hallow the sabbath day, to do no work in it,
25 sa’an nan sarakuna da suke zama a kursiyin Dawuda za su shiga ta ƙofofin wannan birni tare da fadawansu. Su da fadawansu za su shiga a kan kekunan yaƙi da kuma a kan dawakai, mutanen Yahuda suna musu rakiya tare da waɗanda suke zaune a Urushalima, wannan birni kuwa za tă kasance da mazauna har abada.
then there shall enter in by the gates of this city kings and rulers sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their rulers, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And this city shall remain forever.
26 Mutane za su zo daga garuruwan Yahuda da ƙauyukan kewaye da Urushalima, daga iyakar Benyamin da gindin tuddan yamma, daga ƙasar tudu da kuma Negeb, suna kawo hadayun ƙonawa da hadayun gari, sadakokin turare da na godiya zuwa gidan Ubangiji.
And they shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places round about Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the lowland, and from the hill-country, and from the South, bringing burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and meal offerings, and frankincense, and bringing things of thanksgiving, to the house of Jehovah.
27 Amma in ba ku yi mini biyayya ba, ba ku kiyaye ranar Asabbaci da tsarki ba, kuka ɗauki wani kaya yayinda kuke shiga ƙofofin Urushalima a ranar Asabbaci, to, sai in cinna wa ƙofofin Urushalima wutar da ba a iya kashewa, tă cinye kagaranta.’”
But if ye will not hearken to me to hallow the sabbath day, and not to bear a burden and enter in at the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day, then I will kindle a fire in the gates of it, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.
