Irmiya 2
1 Maganar Ubangiji ta zo mini cewa,
And he said, Thus saith the Lord,
2 “Tafi ka yi shela a kunnuwar Urushalima cewa, “‘Na tuna da amincin ƙuruciyarki, yadda kamar amarya kika ƙaunace ni kika kuma bi ni cikin hamada, cikin ƙasar da ba a yi shuka ba.
I remember the kindness of thy youth, and the love of thine espousals,
3 Isra’ila tsattsarka ce ga Ubangiji, nunan fari na girbinsa; dukan waɗanda suka cinye ta an same su da laifi, masifa kuwa ta same su,’” in ji Ubangiji.
in following the Holy One of Israel, saith the Lord, Israel was the holy [people] to the Lord, [and] the first-fruits of his increase: all that devoured him shall offend; evils shall come upon them, saith the Lord.
4 Ka saurari maganar Ubangiji, ya gidan Yaƙub, dukanku zuriyar gidan Isra’ila.
Hear the word of the Lord, O house of Jacob, and every family of the house of Israel.
5 Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, “Wane laifi ne kakanninku sun same ni da shi, da suka tsaya nesa da ni? Sun bi gumakan banza su kansu suka kuma zama banza da kansu.
Thus saith the Lord, What trespass have your fathers found in me, that they have revolted far from me, and gone after vanities, and become vain?
6 Ba su yi tambaya, ‘Ina Ubangiji, wanda ya fitar da su daga Masar ya bishe su cikin jeji cikin hamada da kwazazzabai ƙasa mai fări da kuma duhu, ƙasar da ba kowa mai ratsa ta ba kowa kuma mai zama a cikinta?’
And they said not, Where is the Lord, who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, who guided us in the wilderness, in an untried and trackless land, in a land which no man at all went through, and no man dwelt there?
7 Na kawo ku zuwa ƙasa mai albarka don ku ci amfaninta da abubuwa masu yalwar da take bayarwa. Amma kuka zo kuka ƙazantar da ƙasata kuka kuma mai da gādona abin ƙyama.
And I brought you to Carmel, that ye should eat the fruits thereof, and the good thereof; and ye went in, and defiled my land, and made mine heritage an abomination.
8 Firistoci ba su yi tambaya, ‘Ina Ubangiji ba.’ Waɗanda suke amfani da doka ba su san ni ba; shugabanni suka yi mini tawaye. Annabawa suka yi annabci ta wurin Ba’al, suna bin gumakan banza.
The priests said not, Where is the Lord? and they that held by the law knew me not: the shepherds also sinned against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and went after that which profited not.
9 “Saboda haka ina sāke tuhumarku,” in ji Ubangiji. “Zan kuma tuhumi’ya’ya’ya’yanku.
Therefore I will yet plead with you, and will plead with your children's children.
10 Ku ƙetare zuwa tsibiran Kittim ku gani, ku aika zuwa Kedar ku duba da kyau; ku ga ko an taɓa yin wani abu haka.
For go to the isles of the Chettians, and se; and send to Kedar, and observe accurately, and see if such things have been done;
11 Akwai wata al’ummar da ta canja allolinta? (Duk da haka su ba alloli ba ne sam.) Amma mutanena sun musayar da ɗaukakarsu da gumakan banza.
if the nations will change their gods, though they are not gods: but my people have changed their glory, [for that] from which they shall not be profited.
12 Ku girgiza saboda wannan, ya sammai, ku kuma razana don tsoro mai girma,” in ji Ubangiji.
The heaven is amazed at this, and is very exceedingly horror-struck, saith the Lord.
13 “Mutanena sun aikata zunubai guda biyu. Sun rabu da ni, ni da nake maɓulɓular ruwan rai, sun kuma haƙa tankunan ruwansu, tankuna ruwan da suka fashe da ba za su iya riƙe ruwa ba.
For my people has committed two [faults], and evil ones: they have forsaken me, the fountain of water of life, and hewn out for themselves broken cisterns, which will not be able to hold water.
14 Isra’ila bawa ne, bawa ne ta wurin haihuwa? Me ya sa ya zama ganima?
Is Israel a servant, or a home-born slave? why has he become a spoil?
15 Zakoki sun yi ruri; sun yi masa ruri. Sun lalatar da ƙasarsa; an ƙone garuruwansa aka kuma watse daga ciki.
The lions roared upon him, and uttered their voice, which have made his land a wilderness: and his cities are broken down, that they should not be inhabited.
16 Haka ma, mutanen Memfis da Tafanes sun aske rawanin kanka
Also the children of Memphis and Taphnas have known thee, and mocked thee.
17 Ba kai ne ba ka jawo wa kanka ba ta wurin rabuwa da Ubangiji Allahnka sa’ad da ya bi da kai a hanya?
Has not thy forsaking me brought these things upon thee? saith the Lord thy God.
18 To, me ya sa za ka Masar don shan ruwa daga Shihor? Kuma me ya sa za ka Assuriya don shan ruwa daga Kogi?
And now what hast thou to do with the way of Egypt, to drink the water of Geon? and what hast thou to do with the way of the Assyrians, to drink the water of rivers?
19 Muguntarka za tă hukunta ka; jan bayanka zai tsawata maka. Sai ka lura ka kuma gane yaya mugu da kuma ɗaci suke a gare ka sa’ad da ka rabu da Ubangiji Allahnka kuma ba ka tsorona,” in ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki.
Thine apostasy shall correct thee, and thy wickedness shall reprove thee: know then, and see, that thy forsaking me [has been] bitter to thee, saith the Lord thy God; and I have taken no pleasure in thee, saith the Lord thy God.
20 “Tun da daɗewa ka karya karkiyarka ka kuma tsintsinke sarƙoƙinka; sai ka ce, ‘Ba zan bauta maka ba!’ Tabbatacce, a kan kowane tudu mai tsayi da kuma a ƙarƙashin kowane ɗanyen itace ka kwanta kamar karuwa.
For of old thou hast broken thy yoke, and plucked asunder thy bands; and thou has said, I will not serve thee, but will go upon every high hill, and under every shady tree, there will I indulge in my fornication.
21 Na shuka ka kamar zaɓaɓɓen inabi iri mai kyau da kuma wanda za a dogara a kai. Yaya kuma ka juya kana gāba da ni ka lalace, ka zama inabin jeji?
Yet I planted thee a fruitful vine, entirely of the right sort: how art thou a strange vine turned to bitterness!
22 Ko da yake ka wanke kanka da sabulu ka yi amfani da sabulu mai yawa, duk da haka har yanzu tabon laifinka yana nan a gabana,” in ji Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka.
Though thou shouldest wash thyself with nitre, and multiply to thyself soap, [still] thou art stained by thine iniquities before me, saith the Lord.
23 “Yaya za ka ce, ‘Ban ƙazantu ba; ban bi Ba’al ba’? Duba yadda ka yi a cikin kwari; ka ga abin da ka yi. Kai kamar makwaɗaciyar raƙuma ce mai zafin gudu kana gudu nan da can,
How wilt thou say, I am not polluted, and have not gone after Baal? behold thy ways in the burial-ground, and know what thou hast done: her voice has howled in the evening:
24 kamar jakar jejin da ta saba da hamada, mai busar iska cikin son barbaranta sa’ad da take son barbara wa zai iya hana ta? Jakin da yake nemanta, ba ya bukatar wahalar da kansa; a lokacin barbara za a same ta.
she has extended her ways over the waters of the desert; she was hurried along by the lusts of her soul; she is given up [to them], who will turn her back? none that seek her shall be weary; at [the time of] her humiliation they shall find her.
25 Kada ka yi gudu har ƙafafunka su zama ba takalma maƙogwaronka kuma ya bushe. Amma sai ka ce, ‘Ba amfani! Ina ƙaunar baƙin alloli kuma dole in bi su.’
Withdraw thy foot from a rough way, and thy throat from thirst: but she said I will strengthen myself: for she loved strangers, and went after them.
26 “Kamar yadda akan kunyatar da ɓarawo sa’ad da aka kama shi, haka gidan Isra’ila zai sha kunya, su, sarakunansu da shugabanninsu, firistocinsu da kuma annabawansu.
As is the shame of a thief when he is caught, so shall the children of Israel be ashamed; they, and their kings, and their princes, and their priests, and their prophets.
27 Kuna ce wa itace, ‘Kai ne mahaifina,’ ga dutse kuma, ‘Kai ne ka haife ni.’ Sun juye mini bayansu ba fuskokinsu ba; duk da haka sa’ad da suna cikin wahala, sukan ce, ‘Zo ka cece mu!’
They said to a stock, Thou art my father; and to a stone, Thou has begotten me: and they have turned [their] backs to me, and not their faces: yet in the time of their afflictions they will say, Arise, and save us.
28 To ina allolin da kuka yi wa kanku? Bari su zo in suna iya cetonku sa’ad da kuke cikin wahala! Gama kuna da alloli masu yawa kamar yadda kuke da garuruwa, ya Yahuda.
And where are thy gods, which thou madest for thyself? will they arise and save in the time of thine affliction? for according to the number of thy cities were thy gods, O Juda; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem they sacrificed to Baal.
29 “Me ya sa kuke tuhumana? Dukanku kun yi mini tawaye,” in ji Ubangiji.
Wherefore do ye speak unto me? ye all have been ungodly, and ye all have transgressed against me, saith the Lord.
30 “A banza na hukunta mutanenku; ba su yi gyara ba. Takobinku ya cinye annabawanku kamar zaki mai jin yunwa.
In vain have I smitten your children; ye have not received correction: a sword has devoured your prophets as a destroying lion; yet ye feared not.
31 “Ku na wannan zamani, ku saurari maganar Ubangiji. “Na zama wa Isra’ila hamada ne ko ƙasa mai babban duhu? Me ya sa mutanena suke cewa, ‘Muna da’yanci mu yi ta yawo; ba za mu ƙara zuwa wurinka ba’?
Hear ye the word of the Lord: thus saith the Lord, Have I been a wilderness or a dry land to Israel? wherefore has my people said, We will not be ruled over, and will not come to thee any more?
32 Budurwa za tă manta da kayan adonta amarya ta manta da kayan adon aurenta? Duk da haka mutanena sun manta da ni, kwanaki ba iyaka.
Will a bride forget her ornaments, or a virgin her girdle? but my people has forgotten me days without number.
33 Kuna da azanci sosai a bin masoya! Kai, ko mafiya muni cikin mata tana iya koya daga hanyoyinku.
What fair device wilt thou yet employ in thy ways, so as to seek love? [it shall] not [be] so; moreover thou has done wickedly in corrupting thy ways;
34 A rigunanku mutane kan sami jinin matalauta marasa laifi, ko da yake ba ku kama su suna fasawa su shiga ba. Duk da haka
and in thine hands has been found the blood of innocent souls; I have not found them in holes, but on every oak.
35 kuna cewa, ‘Ba ni da laifi; ba ya fushi da ni.’ Amma zan zartar da hukunci a kanku domin kun ce, ‘Ban yi zunubi ba.’
Yet thou saidst, I am innocent: only let his wrath be turned away from me. Behold, I [will] plead with thee, whereas thou sayest, I have not sinned.
36 Don me kuke yawo da yawa haka, kuna ta canjin hanyoyinku? Masar za tă kunyata ku yadda kuka sha kunya a wurin Assuriya.
For thou has been so exceedingly contemptuous as to repeat thy ways; but thou shalt be ashamed of Egypt, as thou wast ashamed of Assur.
37 Za ku kuma bar wurin da hannuwanku a kanku, gama Ubangiji ya ƙi waɗanda kuka amince da su; ba za ku zama abin taimako a gare su ba.
For thou shalt go forth thence also with thine hands upon thine head; for the Lord has rejected thine hope, and thou shalt not prosper in it.
