Irmiya 18
1 Ga maganar da ta zo wa Irmiya daga wurin Ubangiji.
The word which came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, 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 I will cause you to hear my words.”
3 Sai na gangara zuwa gidan mai ginin tukwane, na gan shi yana aiki a na’urar ginin tukwanen.
Then I went down to the potter’s house, and behold, he was making something on the wheels.
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.
When the vessel that he made of the clay was marred in the hand of the potter, he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.
5 Sai maganar Ubangiji ta zo mini cewa,
Then Yahweh’s word 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.
“House of Israel, can’t I do with you as this potter?” says Yahweh. “Behold, as the clay in the potter’s hand, so are you in my hand, 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,
At the instant I speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up and to break 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, concerning which I have spoken, turns from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I 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,
At the instant I speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to 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 they do that which is evil in my sight, that they not obey my voice, then I will repent of the good with which I said I would benefit them.
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, speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, ‘Yahweh says: “Behold, I frame evil against you, and devise a plan against you. Everyone return from his evil way now, and amend your ways and your doings.”’
12 Amma za su amsa su ce, ‘Ba amfani. Za mu ci gaba da shirye-shiryenmu; kowannenmu zai bi taurin muguwar zuciyarsa.’”
But they say, ‘It is in vain; for we will walk after our own plans, and we will each follow the stubbornness 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 Yahweh says: “Ask now among the nations, ‘Who has heard such things?’ The virgin of Israel has done a very horrible thing.
14 Dusar ƙanƙarar Lebanon ta taɓa rabuwa da kan duwatsun Lebanon? Ruwan mai sanyinsa daga rafuffukansa masu nesa sun taɓa daina gudu?
Will the snow of Lebanon fail from the rock of the field? Will the cold waters that flow down from afar be dried up?
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.
For my people have forgotten me. They have burned incense to false gods. They have been made to stumble in their ways in the ancient paths, to walk in byways, in a way not built up,
16 Ƙasarsu za tă zama kufai, abin reni har abada; dukan waɗanda suka wuce za su yi mamaki su kaɗa kai.
to make their land an astonishment, and a perpetual hissing. Everyone who passes by it will be astonished, and shake 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.”
I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy. I will show them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity.
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.”
Then they said, “Come! Let’s devise plans against Jeremiah; for the law won’t perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let’s strike him with the tongue, and let’s not give heed to any of his words.”
19 Ka saurare ni, ya Ubangiji ka ji abin da masu zargina suke cewa!
Give heed to me, Yahweh, and listen to the voice of those who contend with me.
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.
Should evil be recompensed for good? For they have dug a pit for my soul. Remember how I stood before you to speak good for them, to turn away your wrath 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 the famine, and give them over to the power of the sword. Let their wives become childless and widows. Let their men be killed and their young men struck by 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 from their houses when you bring a troop suddenly on them; for they have dug a pit to take me and hidden 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.
Yet, Yahweh, you know all their counsel against me to kill me. Don’t forgive their iniquity. Don’t blot out their sin from your sight, Let them be overthrown before you. Deal with them in the time of your anger.
