Irmiya 2
1 Maganar Ubangiji ta zo mini cewa,
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
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.
Go, and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying: Thus saith the Lord: I have remembered thee, pitying thy soul, pitying thy youth, and the love of thy espousals, when thou followedst me in the desert, in a land that is not sown.
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.
Israel is holy to the Lord, the first fruits of his increase: all they that devour him offend: evils shall come upon them, saith the Lord.
4 Ka saurari maganar Ubangiji, ya gidan Yaƙub, dukanku zuriyar gidan Isra’ila.
Hear ye the word of the Lord, O house of Jacob, and all ye families 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 iniquity have your fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are 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 have not said: Where is the Lord, that made us come up out of the land of Egypt? that led us through the desert, through a land uninhabited and unpassable, through a land of drought, and the image of death, through a land wherein no man walked, nor any man dwelt?
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 into the land of Carmel, to eat the fruit thereof, and the best things thereof: and when ye entered in, you defiled my land, and made my inheritance 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 did not say: Where is the Lord? and they that held the law knew me not, and the pastors transgressed against me: and the prophets prophesied in Baal, and followed idols.
9 “Saboda haka ina sāke tuhumarku,” in ji Ubangiji. “Zan kuma tuhumi’ya’ya’ya’yanku.
Therefore will I yet contend in judgement with you, saith the Lord, and I will plead with your 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.
Pass over to the isles of Cethim, and see: and send into Cedar, and consider diligently: and see if there hath been done any thing like this.
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 a nation hath changed their gods, and indeed they are not gods: but my people have changed their glory into an idol.
12 Ku girgiza saboda wannan, ya sammai, ku kuma razana don tsoro mai girma,” in ji Ubangiji.
Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and ye gates thereof, be very desolate, 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 have done two evils. They have forsaken me, the fountain of living water, and have digged to themselves cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.
14 Isra’ila bawa ne, bawa ne ta wurin haihuwa? Me ya sa ya zama ganima?
Is Israel a bondman, or a homeborn slave? why then is he become prey?
15 Zakoki sun yi ruri; sun yi masa ruri. Sun lalatar da ƙasarsa; an ƙone garuruwansa aka kuma watse daga ciki.
The lions have roared upon him, and have made a noise, they have made his land a wilderness: his cities are burnt down and there is none to dwell in them.
16 Haka ma, mutanen Memfis da Tafanes sun aske rawanin kanka
The children also of Memphis, and of Taphnes have deflowered thee, even to the crown of the head.
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?
Hath not this been done to thee, because thou hast forsaken the Lord thy God at that time, when he led thee by the way?
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 in the way of Egypt, to drink the troubled water? And what hast thou to do with the way of the Assyrians, to drink the water of the river?
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.
Thy own wickedness shall reprove thee, and thy apostasy shall rebuke thee. Know thou, and see that it is an evil and a bitter thing for thee, to have left the Lord thy God, and that my fear is not with thee, saith the Lord the God of hosts.
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.
Of old time thou hast broken my yoke, thou hast burst my bands, and thou saidst: I will not serve. For on every high hill, and under every green tree thou didst prostitute thyself.
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 chosen vineyard, all true seed: how then art thou turned unto me into that which is good for nothing, O strange vineyard?
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 wash thyself with nitre, and multiply to thyself the herb borith, thou art stained in thy iniquity before me, saith the Lord God.
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 canst thou say: I am not polluted, and I have not walked after Baalim? see thy ways in the valley, know what thou hast done: as a swift runner pursuing his course.
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.
A wild ass accustomed to the wilderness in the desire of his heart, snuffed up the wind of his love: none shall turn her away: all that seek her shall not fail: in her monthly filth 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.’
Keep thy foot from being bare, and thy throat from thirst. But thou saidst: I have lost all hope, I will not do it: for I have loved strangers, and I will walk 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 the thief is confounded when he is taken, so is the house of Israel confounded, they and their kings, 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!’
Saying to a stock: Thou art my father: and to a stone: thou hast begotten me: they have turned their back to me, and not their face: and in the time of their affliction they will say: Arise, and deliver 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.
Where are the gods, whom thou hast made thee? let them arise and deliver thee in the time of thy affliction: for according to the number of thy cities were thy gods, O Juda.
29 “Me ya sa kuke tuhumana? Dukanku kun yi mini tawaye,” in ji Ubangiji.
Why will you contend with me in judgement? you have all forsaken 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 struck your children, they have not received correction: your sword hath devoured your prophets, your generation is like a ravaging lion.
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’?
See ye the word of the Lord: Am I become a wilderness to Israel, or a lateward springing land? why then have my people said: We are revolted, we will come to thee no 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 virgin forget her ornament, or a bride her stomacher? but my people hath forgotten me days without number.
33 Kuna da azanci sosai a bin masoya! Kai, ko mafiya muni cikin mata tana iya koya daga hanyoyinku.
Why dost thou endeavour to shew thy way good to seek my love, thou who has also taught thy malices to be 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 thy skirts is found the blood of the souls of the poor and innocent? not in ditches have I found them, but in all places, which I mentioned before.
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.’
And thou hast said: I am without sin and am innocent: and therefore let thy anger be turned away from me. Behold, I will contend with thee in judgement, because thou hast said: 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.
How exceeding base art thou become, going the same ways over again! and thou shalt be ashamed of Egypt, as thou wast ashamed of Assyria.
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 from thence thou shalt go, and thy hand shall be upon thy head: for the Lord hath destroyed thy trust, and thou shalt have nothing prosperous therein.
