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 said YHWH: “Go down [to] the house of the king of Judah, and you have spoken this word there, and have said,
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.
Hear a word of YHWH, O king of Judah, who are sitting on the throne of David, you, and your servants, and your people, who are coming in at 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 said YHWH: “Do judgment and righteousness, And deliver the plundered from the hand of the oppressor, And sojourner, orphan, and widow, you do not oppress nor wrong, And innocent blood you do not shed 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 certainly do this thing, Then kings sitting for David on his throne Have come in by the gates of this house, Riding on chariot, and on horses, He, and his servants, and his people.
5 Amma in ba ku kiyaye waɗannan umarnai ba, in ji Ubangiji, na rantse da kaina cewa wannan fada za tă zama kufai.’”
And if you do not hear these words, I have sworn by Myself,” A declaration of YHWH, “That this house is for 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 said YHWH concerning the house of the king of Judah: “You [are] Gilead to Me—head of Lebanon, If not—I make you a wilderness, Cities [that] are not inhabited.
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 have separated destroyers for you, Each with his weapons, And they have cut down the choice of your cedars, And have cast them on 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 have passed by this city, And they have each said to his neighbor, “Why has YHWH done thus 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 have said, “Because that they have forsaken The covenant of their God YHWH, And bow themselves to other gods, and serve 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.
You do not weep for the dead, nor bemoan for him, Weep severely for the traveler, For he does not return again, Nor has he seen the land of his birth.
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 said YHWH concerning Shallum son of Josiah king of Judah, who is reigning instead of his father Josiah, who has gone forth from this place: “He does not return here again;
12 Zai mutu a inda suka kai shi zaman bauta; ba zai ƙara ganin wannan ƙasa ba.”
For he dies in the place to where they have removed him, And he does not see this land again.
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 who is building his house by unrighteousness, And his upper chambers by injustice, He lays service on his neighbor for nothing, And he does not give his wage to him.
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 is saying, I build a large house for myself, And airy upper chambers, And he has cut out its windows for himself, Covered with cedar, and painted with vermillion.
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.
Do you reign, because you are fretting yourself in cedar? Your father—did he not eat and drink? Indeed, he did judgment and righteousness, Then [it is] 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 decided the cause of the poor and needy, Then [it is] well—is it not to know Me?” A declaration of YHWH.
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 your eyes and your heart are not, Except on your dishonest gain, And on shedding of innocent blood, And on oppression, and on doing of violence.”
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 said YHWH concerning Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah: “They do not lament for him, Oh, my brother! And, Oh, my sister! They do not lament for him, Oh, lord! And, Oh, his splendor!
19 Za a binne shi kamar jaki za a ja shi a ƙasa a jefar a bayan ƙofofin Urushalima.”
He is buried [with] the burial of a donkey, Dragged and cast out there to 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 Lebanon, and cry, And give forth your voice in Bashan, And cry from Abarim, For all loving you have been 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 have spoken to you in your ease, You have said, I do not listen, This [is] your way from your youth, For you have not listened to 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.
Wind consumes all your friends, And your lovers go into captivity, Surely then you are ashamed, And have blushed for all your 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!
O dweller in Lebanon, making a nest among cedars, How gracious have you been when pangs come to you, Pain—as of a travailing woman.”
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,” A declaration of YHWH, “Though Coniah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah was a seal on My right hand, surely there I draw you away,
25 Zan ba da kai ga waɗanda suke neman ranka, waɗanda kake tsoro, ga Nebukadnezzar sarkin Babilon da kuma ga Babiloniyawa.
And I have given you into the hand of those seeking your life, And into hands of which you are afraid, Into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar 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 have cast you, And your mother who bore you, to another country, Where you were not born, and you die there.
27 Ba za ka ƙara dawo ƙasar da kake marmarin dawowa ba.”
And to the land to where they are lifting up their soul to return, They do not return there.”
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?
A grief—a despised broken thing—is this man Coniah? A vessel in which there is no pleasure? Why have they been cast up and down, He and his seed, Indeed, were they cast on to a land that they did not know?
29 Ya ke ƙasa, ƙasa, ƙasa, ki ji maganar Ubangiji!
Earth, earth, earth, hear a word of YHWH!
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 said YHWH: “Write this man down [as] childless, A man—he does not prosper in his days, For none of his seed prospers, Sitting on the throne of David, And ruling in Judah again!”
