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.
[Yahweh said, “It is as though a list of] the sins [committed by the people of] Judah is engraved with an iron chisel, or engraved using the fine point of a very hard stone, on the altars [where they worship idols]. And [it is as though] this list is engraved on their inner beings!
2 Har’ya’yansu ma sun tuna bagadansu da ginshiƙan Asheransu kusa da itatuwa masu duhuwa da kuma a kan tuddai masu tsayi.
[Even] their children are happy to go to the altars [to worship their gods], and to the poles [that represent the goddess] Asherah [at which their parents worshiped], shrines that are underneath all the big trees and on [all] 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.
So, I will allow your enemies to capture [Zion], your holy hill, and all your wealth and your (treasures/valuable things), and [even] the shrines on all those hills, because of the sins that you people have committed throughout your land.
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.”
The [wonderful] land that I gave to you will no longer belong to you. I will tell your enemies to take you to a land that you do not know about, and you will become their slaves. [I will do that] because I am extremely angry [with you]; my being angry is [like] a fire that will 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.
This is [also] what Yahweh says: “[I] will curse/condemn those who trust in human beings [to help them], those who rely on their own strength and turn away from me.
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.
They are like [dry] bushes in the desert, they are people who will not experience any good things. Those people will live in the barren desert in a salty area, where nothing grows.
7 “Amma mai albarka ne mutumin da yake dogara ga Ubangiji, wanda ƙarfin halinsa yana daga Ubangiji.
But I am pleased with those who trust in [me], Yahweh, and who confidently expect [me to take care of them].
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.”
Those people are like [SIM] fruit trees that have been planted along a riverbank, trees that have roots that go down into the [wet ground beside] the water. They are trees whose leaves remain green when it becomes hot, trees that continue to bear fruit when there are many months in which there is no rain.
9 Zuciya ta fi kome ruɗu ta fi ƙarfin warkewa. Wa zai iya gane ta?
Human minds are extremely corrupt/deceitful, and you cannot change that. It is also completely impossible [RHQ] for anyone to understand that.
10 “Ni Ubangiji nakan bincike zuciya in gwada tunani, don in sāka wa kowane mutum bisa ga halinsa, bisa ga ayyukansa.”
But I, Yahweh, search what is in everyone’s inner being, and I examine what they are thinking. I will give all people rewards, what they deserve for what they have done.”
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.
[I, Jeremiah, agree, because I know that] people who become rich by doing things that are unjust are like birds that hatch eggs that they (did not lay/stole from another nest). So, when those people have lived only half of the years [that they expect to live], their wealth will disappear. Then [other people will realize that] those rich people have been foolish.
12 Kursiyi mai daraja, da aka ɗaukaka tun daga farko, shi ne wuri mai tsarkinmu.
Yahweh, your temple is [like] a glorious throne that is still on a high hill.
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.
You are the one whom [we] Israeli people confidently expect [to bless us], and all those who turn away from you will be disgraced. Their names will be written [only] in the dust, [and will soon disappear], because they have abandoned you, [who are like] [MET] a fountain where people obtain fresh water.
14 Ka warkar da ni, ya Ubangiji, zan kuwa warke; ka cece ni zan kuwa cetu, gama kai ne nake yabo.
Yahweh, [please] heal me, because [if you heal me], I will truly be healed. [If you] rescue me, I will truly be safe, because you are the [only] one whom I praise.
15 Sun riƙa ce mini, “Ina maganar Ubangiji take? Bari tă cika yanzu!”
People often ridicule me and say, “You tell us messages that you say came from Yahweh, but (why have the things that you predicted not happened?/those predictions have not come true!)” [RHQ]
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.
Yahweh, you [appointed me to take care of your people like] a shepherd [takes care of his sheep] [MET]; I have not abandoned that work, and you know that I have not [previously] wanted this time of disaster [to come to people who ridicule me]. And you know everything that I have said [MTY] [to your people].
17 Kada ka zama mini abin razana; kai ne mafakata a ranar masifa.
Do not cause me to be terrified! When disasters come/occur, you are the one to whom I will go to be safe.
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.
[So now], cause those who (persecute me/cause me to suffer) to be ashamed and dismayed, but do not [do things to me that will] cause me to be ashamed and dismayed. Cause them to be terrified! Do to them many things that will completely destroy them!
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.
This is what Yahweh said to me: “Go to the city gates in Jerusalem. [First] go to the gate where the kings of Judah go in and out of the city, and [then] go to each of the [other] gates.
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.
Say to the people [at each gate], ‘You kings of Judah and everyone [else] who is living in Jerusalem and all [you other people of] Judah who enter these gates, listen to this message from Yahweh!
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.
He says, “Listen to this warning carefully! [Stop doing work] on (Sabbath/our rest) days! Stop carrying loads through these gates [on those days]!
22 Kada ku fitar da kayan gidajenku ko ku yi wani aiki a ranar Asabbaci mai tsarki, yadda na umarci kakanni-kakanninku.
Do not carry loads out of your houses or do any [other] work on Sabbath days! Instead, cause Sabbath days to be (holy/set apart for me). I commanded your ancestors to do that,
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 did not listen to me or obey me. When I did things to correct them, they stubbornly [IDM] refused to pay attention to what I said or to accept it.
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,
But I say that if you obey me, and if you do not carry loads through these gates [on Sabbath days] or do any other work on Sabbath days, and if you dedicate the Sabbath days to me,
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.
kings of Judah [MTY] and [their] officials will [continue to] go in and out of these gates. There will [always] be someone who is a descendant of [MTY] [King] David ruling [here] [MTY] in Jerusalem. Kings and their officials will go in and out of these gates, riding in chariots and on horses, and there will be people living in this city 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 people will come [to Jerusalem] bringing offerings to be completely burned [on the altar] and [other] offerings. They will bring to the temple grain offerings and incense and offerings to thank [me]. People will bring those offerings from the towns in Judah and the villages near Jerusalem and from the land [where the tribe] of Benjamin [lives] and from the western foothills and from the desert in the south.
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 you do not pay attention to what I say, and if you refuse to dedicate the Sabbath days to me, and if you [continue to] carry loads through these gates into the city on Sabbath days, I will burn these gates completely. The fire will spread to the palaces, and no one will be able to put out that fire.”’”
