Irmiya 22
1 Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, “Ka gangara zuwa fadan sarkin Yahuda ka yi shelar wannan saƙo a can ka ce,
Thus saith the Lord: Go down to the house of the king of Juda, and there thou shalt speak this word,
2 ‘Ka ji maganar Ubangiji, ya sarkin Yahuda, kai da kake zaune kan gadon sarautar Dawuda, kai, da fadawanka da mutanenka waɗanda suke shiga ta waɗannan ƙofofi.
And thou shalt say: Hear the word of the Lord, O king of Juda, that sittest upon the throne of David: thou and thy servants, and thy people, who enter in by these gates.
3 Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, ka yi abin da yake gaskiya da kuma daidai. Ka kuɓutar da wannan da aka yi masa ƙwace daga hannun mai zaluntarsa. Kada ka yi abin da ba daidai ba ko ka cuci baƙo, maraya ko gwauruwa, kuma kada ka zub da jini marar laifi a wannan wuri.
Thus saith the Lord: Execute judgement and justice, and deliver him that is oppressed out of the hand of the oppressor: and afflict not the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, nor oppress them unjustly: and shed not innocent blood in this place.
4 Gama in ka lura da bin waɗannan umarnai, to, sarakunan da suke zaune a gadon sarautar Dawuda za su shiga ta ƙofofin wannan fada, suna hawan kekunan yaƙi da dawakai, fadawansu da mutanensu suna musu rakiya.
For if you will do this thing indeed, then shall there enter in by the gates of this house, kings of the race of David sitting upon his throne, and riding in chariots and on horses, they and their servants, and their people.
5 Amma in ba ku kiyaye waɗannan umarnai ba, in ji Ubangiji, na rantse da kaina cewa wannan fada za tă zama kufai.’”
But if you will not hearken to these words: I swear by myself, saith the Lord, that this house shall become a desolation.
6 Gama ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa game da wannan fadar sarkin Yahuda, “Ko da yake kina kamar Gileyad a gare ni, kamar ƙwanƙolin Lebanon, tabbatacce zan maishe ki hamada, kamar garuruwan da ba mazauna.
For thus saith the Lord to the house of the king of Juda: Thou art to me Galaad the head of Libanus: yet surely I will make thee a wilderness, and cities not habitable.
7 Zan aika da mai hallakarwa a kanki, kowane mutum da makamansa, za su kuma yayyanka gumaguman al’ul na ki masu kyau su jefa su cikin wuta.
And I will prepare against thee the destroyer and his weapons: and they shall cut down thy chosen cedars, and shall cast them headlong into the fire.
8 “Mutane daga al’ummai da yawa za su ratsa cikin wannan birni su kuma tambayi juna suna cewa, ‘Me ya sa Ubangiji ya yi haka da wannan babban birni?’
And many nations shall pass by this city: and they shall say every man to his neighbor: Why hath the Lord done so to this great city?
9 Amsar kuwa za tă zama, ‘Domin sun keta alkawarin Ubangiji Allahnsu, suka yi sujada suka kuma bauta wa waɗansu alloli.’”
And they shall answer: Because they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord their God, and have adored strange gods, and served them.
10 Kada ku yi kuka domin sarkin da ya mutu ko ku yi makoki saboda rashinsa; a maimako, ku yi kuka mai zafi saboda wanda aka kai zaman bauta, domin ba zai ƙara dawowa ba ko ya ƙara ganin ƙasarsa ta haihuwa.
Weep not for him that is dead, nor bemoan him with your tears: lament him that goeth away, for he shall return no more, nor see his native country.
11 Gama ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa game da Shallum ɗan Yosiya, wanda ya gāji mahaifinsa a matsayin sarkin Yahuda amma bai bar wurin nan ba, “Ba zai ƙara dawowa ba.
For thus saith the Lord to Sellum the son of Josias the king of Juda, who reigned instead of his father, who went forth out of this place: He shall return hither no more:
12 Zai mutu a inda suka kai shi zaman bauta; ba zai ƙara ganin wannan ƙasa ba.”
But in the place, to which I have removed him, there shall he die, and he shall not see this land any more.
13 “Kaiton wanda ya gina gidansa ta hanyar rashin adalci, ɗakunansa na sama kuma ta hanyar rashin gaskiya, yana sa mutanen ƙasarsa suna aiki a banza ba ya biyansu wahalarsu.
Woe to him that buildeth up his house by injustice, and his chambers not in judgement: that will oppress his friend without cause, and will not pay him his wages.
14 Yana cewa, ‘Zan gina wa kaina babban fada da manyan ɗakuna.’ Ta haka sai ya yi musu manyan tagogi ya manne musu al’ul ya yi musu ado kuma da ruwan ja.
Who saith: I will build me a wide house and large chambers: who openeth to himself windows, and maketh roofs of cedar, and painteth them with vermilion.
15 “Wannan zai mai da kai sarki ne in kana da al’ul a kai a kai? Mahaifinka bai kasance da abinci da abin sha ba? Ya yi abin da yake gaskiya da kuma daidai saboda haka kome ya kasance da lafiya da shi.
Shalt thou reign, because thou comparest thyself to the cedar? did not thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice, and it was then well with him?
16 Ya kāre muradin matalauta da mabukata, ta haka kome ya tafi masa daidai. Ba abin da ake nufi da ba san ni ke nan ba?” In ji Ubangiji.
He judged the cause of the poor and needy for his own good: was it not therefore because he knew me, saith the Lord?
17 “Amma idanunka da zuciyarka sun kahu kawai a kan ƙazamar riba, da a kan zub da jinin marar laifi da kuma a kan danniya da zalunci.”
But thy eyes and thy heart are set upon covetousness, and upon shedding innocent blood, and upon oppression, and running after evil works.
18 Saboda haka ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa game da Yehohiyakim ɗan Yosiya sarkin Yahuda, “Ba za su yi kuka dominsa ba, ‘Kaito, ɗan’uwana! Kaito,’yar’uwata!’ Ba za su yi kuka dominsa ba, ‘Kaito, maigidana! Kaito, darajarsa!’
Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning Joakim the son of Josias king of Juda: They shall not mourn for him, Alas, my brother, and Alas, sister: they shall not lament for him, Alas, my Lord, or, Alas, the noble one.
19 Za a binne shi kamar jaki za a ja shi a ƙasa a jefar a bayan ƙofofin Urushalima.”
He shall be buried with the burial of an ass, rotten and cast forth without the gates of Jerusalem.
20 “Ka haura zuwa Lebanon ka yi kuka, bari a ji muryarka a Bashan, yi kuka daga Abarim, gama an murƙushe dukan abokanka.
Go up to Libanus, and cry: and lift up thy voice in Basan, and cry to them that pass by, for all thy lovers are destroyed.
21 Na ja maka kunne sa’ad da kake zama lafiya, amma sai ka ce, ‘Ba zan saurara ba!’ Wannan halinka ne tun kana matashi; ba ka yi mini biyayya ba.
I spoke to thee in thy properity: and thou saidst: I will not hear: this hath been thy way from thy youth, because thou hast not heard my voice.
22 Iska za tă koro dukan makiyayanka abokanka kuma za su tafi zaman bauta. Sa’an nan za ka sha kunya a kuma walaƙanta ka saboda dukan muguntarka.
The wind shall feed all thy pastors, and thy lovers shall go into captivity: and then shalt thou be confounded, and ashamed of all thy wickedness.
23 Kai da kake zama a ‘Lebanon,’ kai da kake sheƙa a gine-ginen al’ul za ka yi nishi sa’ad da zafi ya auka maka, zafi kamar na mace mai naƙuda!
Thou that sittest in Libanus, and makest thy nest in the cedars, how hast thou mourned when sorrows came upon thee, as the pains of a woman in labour?
24 “Muddin ina raye,” in ji Ubangiji, “ko kai, Yehohiyacin ɗan Yehohiyakim sarkin Yahuda, ka zama zoben hatimin dama a hannuna na dama, zan kwaɓe ka.
As I live, saith the Lord, if Jechonias the son of Joakim the king of Juda were a ring on my right hand, I would pluck him thence.
25 Zan ba da kai ga waɗanda suke neman ranka, waɗanda kake tsoro, ga Nebukadnezzar sarkin Babilon da kuma ga Babiloniyawa.
And I will give thee into the hand of them that seek thy life, and into the hand of them whose face thou fearest, and into the hand of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans.
26 Zan jefar da kai da mahaifiyar da ta haife ka zuwa wata ƙasa, inda babu ɗayanku da aka haifa a wurin, a can kuma za ka mutu.
And I will send thee, and thy mother that bore thee, into a strange country, in which you were not born, and there you shall die:
27 Ba za ka ƙara dawo ƙasar da kake marmarin dawowa ba.”
And they shall not return into the land, whereunto they lift up their mind to return thither.
28 Wannan mutum Yehohiyacin ne da aka rena, fasasshen tukunya, abin da babu wanda yake so? Me ya sa za a jefar da shi da’ya’yansa a jefar da su a ƙasar da ba su sani ba?
Is this man Jechonias an earthen and a broken vessel? is he a vessel wherein there is no pleasure? why are they cast out, he and his seed, and are cast into a land which they know not?
29 Ya ke ƙasa, ƙasa, ƙasa, ki ji maganar Ubangiji!
O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the Lord.
30 Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, “Ka rabu da wannan mutum sai ka ce marar’ya’ya, mutumin da ba zai yi nasara a rayuwarsa ba, gama babu zuriyarsa da za tă yi nasara babu wani da zai zauna a kursiyin Dawuda ko ya ƙara yin mulkin Yahuda.”
Thus saith the Lord: Write this man barren, a man that shall not prosper in his days: for there shall not be a man of his seed that shall sit upon the throne of David, and have power any more in Juda.
