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, With the point of a diamond is it engraved Upon the tablet of their hearts, Upon the horns of their 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 children remember the altars, and the images of Astarte, Near the green trees, And 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 and all thy treasures will I give up for spoil; Thy high places for sin in 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.”
Thou shalt of thyself cease to possess the inheritance which I gave thee, And I will cause thee to serve thy enemies in a land which thou knowest 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 saith Jehovah: Cursed be the man who trusteth 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.
He shall be like a poor wanderer in the desert, Who seeth not when good cometh, But dwelleth in the parched places of the desert, In a salt land, and uninhabited.
7 “Amma mai albarka ne mutumin da yake dogara ga Ubangiji, wanda ƙarfin halinsa yana daga Ubangiji.
Blessed is the man who trusteth in Jehovah; Who in Jehovah placeth his hope!
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.”
He shall be like a tree planted by the water-side, That spreadeth out her roots by the stream, That feeleth not when the heat cometh, But whose leaf is green; That careth not in the year of drought, Nor ceaseth 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; Yea, it is 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 heart, And try the reins, To give to every man according to his ways, And 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 which she hath not laid, So is he that getteth riches, and not by right; In the midst of his days shall he leave them, And in his latter end find himself a fool.
12 Kursiyi mai daraja, da aka ɗaukaka tun daga farko, shi ne wuri mai tsarkinmu.
A glorious, lofty throne from the beginning Hath been 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 thou hope of Israel, Jehovah! All that forsake thee shall be put to shame; Yea, all that depart from me shall be written in dust, Because they have forsaken the fountain of living water, they have forsaken Jehovah.
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 art 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 to pass!”
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.
I have not refused to follow thee, as thy shepherd, Neither have I desired the day of woe, as thou knowest! That which came from my lips hath been before thine eyes.
17 Kada ka zama mini abin razana; kai ne mafakata a ranar masifa.
Be not thou a terror to me, Thou, my refuge in the day of distress! Let my persecutors be confounded, but let not me be confounded!
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 dismayed, but let not me be dismayed! Bring upon them the day of calamity, 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 said Jehovah to me: Go and stand in the people's gate, Through which the kings of Judah come in and 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 the word of Jehovah, ye kings of Judah, All Judah, and all ye who dwell at Jerusalem, Who enter in through 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 yourselves, And carry no burden on the sabbath-day, And bring none 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.
Bear no burden from your houses on the sabbath-day, And do no kind of work; But keep ye holy 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 necks stiff, and refused to hear, And refused to 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,
If ye will now diligently hearken to me, saith Jehovah, And bring no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath-day, But keep holy the sabbath-day, Doing 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 enter the gates of this city kings and princes, Who sit upon the throne of David, Riding in chariots and on horses, They and their chieftains, The men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem; And this city shall be inhabited 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.
Then from the cities of Judah, and the places around Jerusalem, From the land of Benjamin, and from the plain, From the mountains, and from the South, Shall they come bringing burnt-offerings, and sacrifices, And flour-offerings, and incense, And bringing thank-offerings 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 keep holy the sabbath-day, And to carry no burden through the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath-day, Then will I kindle in her gates an unquenchable fire, Which shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.
