Irmiya 18
1 Ga maganar da ta zo wa Irmiya daga wurin Ubangiji.
The word that came from Jeremias to the Lord, saying:
2 “Ka gangara zuwa gidan mai ginin tukwane, a can zan ba ka saƙona.”
Arise, and go down to the potter’s house, and there thou shalt hear my words.
3 Sai na gangara zuwa gidan mai ginin tukwane, na gan shi yana aiki a na’urar ginin tukwanen.
And I went down into the potter’s house, and behold he was doing a work on the wheel.
4 Amma tukunyar da yake ginawa ta lalace a hannuwansa, sai mai ginin tukwanen ya sāke gina wata tukunya dabam, yana gyara ta yadda ya ga dama.
And the vessel was broken which he was making with clay with his hands: and turning he made another vessel, as it seemed good in his eyes to make it.
5 Sai maganar Ubangiji ta zo mini cewa,
Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
6 “Ya gidan Isra’ila, ashe, ba zan yi da ku yadda mai ginin tukwanen nan yake yi ba?” In ji Ubangiji. “Kamar yumɓu a hannun mai ginin tukwane, haka kuke a hannuna, ya gidan Isra’ila.
Cannot I do with you as this potter, saith the Lord? behold as clay is in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel.
7 A duk lokacin da na yi shela cewa za a tumɓuke, a kakkarya a kuma hallaka wata al’umma ko mulki,
I will suddenly speak against a nation, and against a kingdom, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy it.
8 in wannan al’ummar da na yi wa gargaɗi ta tuba daga muguntarta, sai in janye in kuma fasa kawo mata masifar da na yi niyya aukar mata.
If that nation against which I have spoken, shall repent of their evil, I also will repent of the evil that I have thought to do to them.
9 In kuma wani lokaci na yi shela cewa za a gina wata al’umma ko mulki a kuma kafa ta,
And I will suddenly speak of a nation and of a kingdom, to build up and plant it.
10 in ta yi mugunta a gabana ba tă kuwa yi mini biyayya ba, sai in janye alherin da na yi niyya in yi mata.
If it shall do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice: I will repent of the good that I have spoken to do unto it.
11 “Yanzu fa, sai ka faɗa wa mutanen Yahuda da waɗanda suke zaune a Urushalima, ‘Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa ga shi! Ina shirya muku masifa ina ƙirƙiro dabara a kanku. Saboda haka ku juya daga mugayen hanyoyinku, kowannenku, ku canja hanyoyinku da kuma ayyukanku.’
Now therefore tell the men of Juda, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying: Thus saith the Lord: Behold I frame evil against you, and devise a device against you: let every man of you return from his evil way, and make ye your ways and your doings good.
12 Amma za su amsa su ce, ‘Ba amfani. Za mu ci gaba da shirye-shiryenmu; kowannenmu zai bi taurin muguwar zuciyarsa.’”
And they said: We have no hopes: for we will go after our own thoughts, and we will do every one according to the perverseness of his evil heart.
13 Saboda haka ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, “Ku tattambaya a cikin al’ummai. Wa ya taɓa jin irin wannan abu? Budurwa Isra’ila ta yi mugun abu mafi banƙyama.
Therefore thus saith the Lord: Ask among the nations: Who hath heard such horrible things, as the virgin of Israel hath done to excess?
14 Dusar ƙanƙarar Lebanon ta taɓa rabuwa da kan duwatsun Lebanon? Ruwan mai sanyinsa daga rafuffukansa masu nesa sun taɓa daina gudu?
Shall now the snow of Libanus fail from the rock of the field? or can the cold waters that gush out and run down, be taken away?
15 Duk da haka mutanena sun manta da ni; sun ƙone turare wa gumaka marasa amfani, waɗanda suka sa su tuntuɓe a al’amuransu a hanyoyin dā. Sun sa suka yi tafiya a ɓarayin hanyoyi a hanyoyin da ba a gina ba.
Because my people have forgotten me, sacrificing in vain, and stumbling in their ways, in ancient paths, to walk by them in a way not trodden:
16 Ƙasarsu za tă zama kufai, abin reni har abada; dukan waɗanda suka wuce za su yi mamaki su kaɗa kai.
That their land might be given up to desolation, and to a perpetual hissing: every one that shall pass by it, shall be astonished, and wag his head.
17 Kamar iska daga gabas zan warwatsa su a gaban abokan gābansu; zan juya musu bayana, ba zan nuna musu fuskata ba a ranar masifarsu.”
As a burning will I scatter them before the enemy: I will shew them the back, and not the face, in the day of their destruction.
18 Suka ce, “Zo mu shirya wa Irmiya maƙarƙashiya; gama koyarwar doka da firist ya yi ba za tă ɓace ba, haka ma shawara daga mai hikima da kuma magana daga annabawa. Saboda haka ku zo, mu fāɗa masa da harsunanmu kada mu saurari wani abin da zai faɗa.”
And they said: Come, and let us invent devices against Jeremias: for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet: come, and let us strike him with the tongue, and let us give no heed to all his words.
19 Ka saurare ni, ya Ubangiji ka ji abin da masu zargina suke cewa!
Give heed to me, O Lord, and hear the voice of my adversaries.
20 Ya kamata a sāka wa alheri da mugunta? Duk da haka sun haƙa mini rami. Ka tuna cewa na tsaya a gabanka na kuma yi magana a madadinsu don ka janye fushinka daga gare su.
Shall evil be rendered for good, because they have digged a pit for my soul? Remember that I have stood in thy sight, so speak good for them, and turn away thy indignation from them.
21 Saboda haka ka kawo wa’ya’yansu yunwa; ka miƙa su ga ikon takobi. Bari matansu su zama marasa’ya’ya da gwauraye; bari a kashe mazansu, a kuma kashe samarinsu da takobi a yaƙi.
Therefore deliver up their children to famine, and bring them into the hands of the sword: let their wives be bereaved of children and widows: and let their husbands be slain by death: let their young men be stabbed with the sword in battle.
22 Bari a ji kuka daga gidajensu sa’ad da ka kawo masu hari a kansu farat ɗaya, gama sun haƙa rami don su kama ni suka kuma kafa tarko wa ƙafafuna.
Let a cry be heard out of their houses: for thou shalt bring the robber upon them suddenly: because they have digged a pit to take me, and have hid snares for my feet.
23 Amma Ya Ubangiji, ka san duk maƙarƙashiyarsu, na neman su kashe ni. Kada ka gafarta musu laifofinsu ko ka shafe zunubansu daga gabanka. Bari a tumɓuke su a gabanka; ka yi da su sa’ad da kake fushi.
But thou, O Lord, knowest all their counsel against me unto death: forgive not their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted out from thy sight: let them be overthrown before thy eyes, in the time of thy wrath do thou destroy them.
