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 style of iron, with the point of a diamond, engraven 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.
whilst their children remember their altars and their Asherahs, 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.
My mountain in the field, thy substance, all thy treasures will I give for a spoil, — thy high places, because of sin throughout 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 of thyself thou shalt let go thine inheritance which I gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in a land that thou knowest not; for ye have kindled a fire in mine anger, — it shall burn for ever.
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 saith Jehovah: Cursed is the man that confideth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth 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.
And he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but he 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 that confideth in Jehovah, and whose confidence 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 like a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out its roots by the stream, and he shall not see when heat cometh, but his leaf shall be green; and in the year of drought he shall not be careful, neither shall he cease to yield fruit.
9 Zuciya ta fi kome ruɗu ta fi ƙarfin warkewa. Wa zai iya gane ta?
The heart is deceitful above all things, and incurable; 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 heart, I try the reins, even to give each one 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 sitteth on [eggs] it hath not laid, [so] is he that getteth riches and not by right: in the midst of his days shall he leave them, and at his end shall be a fool.
12 Kursiyi mai daraja, da aka ɗaukaka tun daga farko, shi ne wuri mai tsarkinmu.
A throne of glory, [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.
Thou hope of Israel, Jehovah! all that forsake thee shall be ashamed. They that 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, Jehovah, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.
15 Sun riƙa ce mini, “Ina maganar Ubangiji take? Bari tă cika yanzu!”
Behold, these say unto me, Where is the word of Jehovah? let it then come!
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.
But as for me, I have not hastened from being a shepherd in following thee, neither have I desired the fatal day, thou knowest: 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 unto me: thou art 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 ashamed that persecute me, but let not me be ashamed; let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed; bring upon them the day of evil, and break them with a double breaking.
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 hath Jehovah said unto me: Go and stand in the gate of the children 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 unto them, Hear the word of Jehovah, ye kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that 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 saith Jehovah: Take heed to your souls, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, and bring nothing in through 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.
and carry forth no burden out of your houses on the sabbath day, neither do 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, neither inclined their ear, but hardened their neck, that they might not hear nor 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 unto me, saith Jehovah, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, and to hallow the sabbath day, to do no work therein;
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 shall there enter in, through the gates of this city, kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they and their princes, the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and this city shall be inhabited for ever.
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 around 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 oblations, and incense, and bringing thanksgiving unto 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 unto me, to hallow the sabbath day and not to bear a burden and enter in through the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day, then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.
