< Irmiya 19 >
1 Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, “Tafi ka sayo tulu a wurin mai ginin tukwane. Ka ɗauki waɗansu dattawan jama’a da kuma na firistoci
This is another message that Yahweh gave [to me]: “Go and buy a clay jar from a man who makes them. Then take with you some of the elders of the people and leaders of the priests.
2 ku fita zuwa Kwarin Ben Hinnom, kusa da mashigin Ƙofar Kasko. A can ka furta maganganun da na faɗa maka,
Go out [of the city] past the Gate of Broken Pots, to the place [overlooking the dump for broken pottery in] the Ben-Hinnom Valley. Then give them a message.
3 ka ce, ‘Ku ji maganar Ubangiji, ya sarakunan Yahuda da kuma mutanen Urushalima. Ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki, Allah na Isra’ila, yana cewa ku saurara! Zan kawo masifa a wannan wuri, wanda duk ya ji, kunnuwansa za su kaɗa.
Say to them, ‘[This message is for] you kings of Judah and [other] people of Jerusalem. Listen to what Yahweh is saying! The Commander of the armies of angels says that he will cause there to be a terrible disaster in [Jerusalem]. Those who hear about it will be stunned/shocked [IDM].
4 Gama sun yashe ni suka kuma mai da wannan wuri ya zama na baƙin alloli; sun ƙone hadayu a cikinsa wa allolin da ko su ko kakanninsu ko sarakunan Yahuda ba su taɓa sani ba, suka kuma cika wannan wuri da jini marasa laifi.
[That will happen] because [you Israeli] people have stopped worshiping me, and have caused this place to be a place where [you worship] foreign gods. You burn sacrifices to gods that neither you nor your ancestors nor [even] the kings of Judah ever heard about. And you have filled this place with the blood of innocent people [whom you have killed].
5 Suka gina masujadai na kan tudu na Ba’al don su ƙona’ya’yansu maza a cikin wuta a matsayin hadaya ga Ba’al abin da ban umarta ba, ban ambata ba, bai kuma zo mini ba.
You have built shrines to honor [your god] Baal, and at those shrines you have [killed] your own children and offered them to be sacrifices to Baal. I never commanded you to do that, I never spoke about doing that, I never even thought about anyone doing that.
6 Saboda haka ku lura, kwanaki suna zuwa, in ji Ubangiji, sa’ad da mutane ba za su ƙara ce da wannan wuri Tofet ko Kwarin Ben Hinnom ba, amma za su ce da shi Kwarin Kisa.
So, beware, [because I, ] Yahweh, say that there will be a time when this garbage dump will no longer be called Topheth or Ben-Hinnom Valley; it will be called Slaughter Valley.
7 “‘A wannan wuri zan lalace dabarun Yahuda da na Urushalima. Zan sa a kashe su da takobi a gaban abokan gābansu, a hannuwan waɗanda suke neman ransu, zan kuma ba da gawawwakinsu su zama abinci ga tsuntsayen sararin sama da kuma namun jeji.
In this place I will ruin the plans of [you people who live in] Jerusalem and in [other places in] Judah. I will allow your enemies who want to kill you to kill [many of] you with their swords. [Then] I will allow your corpses to remain on the ground to be food for vultures and wild animals.
8 Zan ragargazar da wannan birni in mai da shi abin reni, duk wanda ya wuce zai yi mamaki ya kuma yi tsaki saboda dukan masifunsa.
I will [completely destroy] Jerusalem and cause it to become a heap of ruins that people will despise. All the people who pass by will be appalled, and they will be shocked when they see that the city has been destroyed.
9 Zan sa su ci naman’ya’yansu maza da mata, za su kuma ci naman juna a lokacin damuwar ƙawanya da abokan gāban da suke neman ransu za su yi musu.’
I will enable your enemies who want to kill you to surround the city for a long time. [Then the food will be all gone, and you people will be extremely hungry, with the result that] you people in the city will eat the flesh of your own children and your neighbors’ children.’
10 “Sa’an nan ka fasa tulun yayinda waɗanda suka tafi tare da kai suna duba,
[Jeremiah, after you tell that to them], while the people who are with you are watching, smash the jar [that you brought].
11 ka kuma ce musu, ‘Ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki yana cewa zan farfasa wannan al’umma da wannan birni kamar yadda aka farfasa wannan tulu mai ginin tukwane ba kuwa zai gyaru ba. Za a binne matattu a Tofet har sai ba sauran wuri.
Then say to them, ‘This is what the Commander of the armies of angels says: “Just like this jar has been smashed and cannot be repaired, I will smash this city of Jerusalem and other places in Judah. You will bury some of your corpses here in this dump, until there is no more space to bury any more corpses.
12 Ga abin da zan yi wa wannan wuri da waɗanda suke zaune a nan, in ji Ubangiji. Zan mai da wannan birni kamar Tofet.
That is what I will do to this city and to you people who live here. I will cause this city to be desecrated, like [King Josiah caused Topheth to be] a place that was unfit for people to worship me there.
13 Gidaje a Urushalima da waɗannan na sarakunan Yahuda za su ƙazantu kamar wannan wuri, Tofet, dukan gidajen da suke ƙone turare a kan rufi wa duk rundunan taurari suna kuma zuba hadayun sha ga sauran alloli.’”
The houses in Jerusalem and the palaces of the kings of Judah will be desecrated like this place will be. All the houses where you burned incense on the rooftops to honor the stars [that you worshiped], and where you poured out wine [to be an offering] to your gods, will become (desecrated/unacceptable places for people to worship me).”’”
14 Sa’an nan Irmiya ya komo daga Tofet, inda Ubangiji ya aike shi don yă yi annabci, ya tsaya a filin haikalin Ubangiji ya ce wa mutane duka,
Then I returned from the garbage dump where Yahweh had sent me to tell them that message. Then I stood in the courtyard of Yahweh’s temple and said this to all the people [who were there]:
15 “Ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki, Allah na Isra’ila, yana cewa, ‘Ku saurara! Zan kawo wa wannan birni da ƙauyukan da suke kewayensa kowace masifar da na furta a kansu, domin sun yi taurinkai, ba su kuwa saurari maganata ba.’”
“This is what the Commander of the armies of angels says: ‘I will cause there to be a disaster in this city and in the villages around it like I promised, because you people have stubbornly [IDM] refused to pay attention to what I said to you.’”
