Irmiya 2
1 Maganar Ubangiji ta zo mini cewa,
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 says the LORD, "I remember you, the devotion of your youth, the love of your weddings; how you went after me in the wilderness, in a land that was 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 was holiness to the LORD, the first fruits of his increase. All who devour him shall be held guilty. Evil shall come on them,"' says 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 all the 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 says the LORD, "What unrighteousness have your fathers found in me, that they have 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?’
Neither did they say, 'Where is the LORD who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, who led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of drought and of the shadow of death, through a land that none passed through, and where no man lived?'
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.
I brought you into a plentiful land, to eat its fruit and its goodness; but when you entered, you defiled my land, and made my 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 did not say, 'Where is the LORD?' And those who handle the law did not know me. The rulers also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit.
9 “Saboda haka ina sāke tuhumarku,” in ji Ubangiji. “Zan kuma tuhumi’ya’ya’ya’yanku.
"Therefore I will yet contend with you," says the LORD, "and I will contend 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 pass over to the islands of Kittim, and see; and send to Kedar, and consider diligently; and see if there has been such a thing.
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.
Has a nation changed its gods, which really are no gods? But my people have changed their glory for that which does not profit.
12 Ku girgiza saboda wannan, ya sammai, ku kuma razana don tsoro mai girma,” in ji Ubangiji.
"Be astonished, you heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid. Be very desolate," says 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 committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the spring of living waters, and cut them out 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 servant? Is he a native-born slave? Why has he become a prey?
15 Zakoki sun yi ruri; sun yi masa ruri. Sun lalatar da ƙasarsa; an ƙone garuruwansa aka kuma watse daga ciki.
The young lions have roared at him, and yelled. They have made his land waste. His cities are burned up, without inhabitant.
16 Haka ma, mutanen Memfis da Tafanes sun aske rawanin kanka
The people of Memphis and Tahpanhes have also shaved the crown of your 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?
"Haven't you brought this on yourself, in that you have forsaken the LORD your God, when he led you 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?
Now what have you to do in the way to Egypt, to drink the waters of the Shihor? Or what have you to do in the way to Assyria, to drink the waters 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.
"Your own wickedness shall correct you, and your backsliding shall reprove you. Know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and bitter that you have forsaken the LORD your God, and that my fear is not in you," says the LORD 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.
"For of old time I have broken your yoke, and burst your bonds; and you said, 'I will not serve;' for on every high hill and under every green tree you bowed yourself, playing the prostitute.
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 had planted you a noble vine, wholly a right seed. How then have you turned into the degenerate branches of a foreign vine to me?
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.
For though you wash yourself with lye, and use much soap, yet your iniquity is marked before me," says 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 can you say, 'I am not defiled. I have not gone after the Baals'? See your way in the valley. Know what you have done. You are a swift dromedary traversing her ways;
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 donkey used to the wilderness, that snuffs up the wind in her desire. When she is in heat, who can turn her away? All those who seek her will not weary themselves. In her month, they will 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.’
"Withhold your foot from being unshod, and your throat from thirst. But you said, 'It is in vain. No, for I have loved strangers, and I will go 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 ashamed when he is found, so is the house of Israel ashamed; they, their kings, their officials, 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!’
who tell wood, 'You are my father;' and a stone, 'You have brought me out:' for they have turned their back to me, and not their face; but in the time of their trouble 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.
"But where are your gods that you have made for yourselves? Let them arise, if they can save you in the time of your trouble. For according to the number of your cities are your gods, Judah. And according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem they were sacrificing to Baal.
29 “Me ya sa kuke tuhumana? Dukanku kun yi mini tawaye,” in ji Ubangiji.
"Why will you contend with me? You all have transgressed against me," says the LORD.
30 “A banza na hukunta mutanenku; ba su yi gyara ba. Takobinku ya cinye annabawanku kamar zaki mai jin yunwa.
"I have struck your children in vain. They received no correction. Your own sword has devoured your prophets, like a destroying 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’?
Generation, consider the word of the LORD. Have I been a wilderness to Israel? Or a land of thick darkness? Why do my people say, 'We have broken loose. We will come to you 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.
"Can a virgin forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? Yet my people have forgotten me for days without number.
33 Kuna da azanci sosai a bin masoya! Kai, ko mafiya muni cikin mata tana iya koya daga hanyoyinku.
How well you prepare your way to seek love. Therefore you have taught even the wicked women your 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
Also the blood of the souls of the innocent poor is found in your skirts. You did not find them breaking in; but it is because of all these things.
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 you said, 'I am innocent. Surely his anger has turned away from me.' "Look, I will judge you, because you say, '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.
Why do you go about so much to change your way? You will be ashamed of Egypt also, as you were 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.
From there also you shall go forth, with your hands on your head; for the LORD has rejected those in whom you trust, and you shall not prosper with them.
