Irmiya 23
1 “Kaiton makiyayan da suka hallakar suka kuma warwatsar da tumakin makiyayanta!” In ji Ubangiji.
“Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture!” says the LORD.
2 Saboda haka ga abin da Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila yana ce wa makiyayan da suke lura da mutanena, “Domin kun watsar da garkena kuka kuma kore su ba ku kuma lura da su ba, zan kawo hukunci a kanku saboda muguntar da kuka yi,” in ji Ubangiji.
Therefore the LORD, the God of Israel, says against the shepherds who feed my people: “You have scattered my flock, driven them away, and have not visited them. Behold, I will visit on you the evil of your doings,” says the LORD.
3 “Ni kaina zan tattara raguwar garkena daga ƙasashen da na kore su zuwa zan kuma dawo da su ga makiyayansu, inda za su yi ta haihuwa su riɓaɓɓanya.
“I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the countries where I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they will be fruitful and multiply.
4 Zan sa makiyaya a kansu waɗanda za su lura da su, ba za su ƙara jin tsoro ko razana ba, ba kuwa waninsu da zai ɓace,” in ji Ubangiji.
I will set up shepherds over them who will feed them. They will no longer be afraid or dismayed, neither will any be lacking,” says the LORD.
5 “Kwanaki suna zuwa,” in ji Ubangiji, “sa’ad da zan tā da wa Dawuda Reshen adalci, Sarki wanda zai yi mulki da hikima ya kuma yi abin da yake gaskiya da kuma daidai a ƙasar.
“Behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that I will raise to David a righteous Branch; and he will reign as king and deal wisely, and will execute justice and righteousness in the land.
6 A cikin zamaninsa za a ceci Yahuda Isra’ila kuma zai zauna lafiya. Sunan da za a kira shi ke nan, Ubangiji Adalcinmu.
In his days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell safely. This is his name by which he will be called: The LORD our righteousness.
7 “Saboda haka fa, kwanaki suna zuwa,” in ji Ubangiji, “sa’ad da mutanen ba za su ƙara cewa, ‘Muddin Ubangiji yana raye, wanda ya fito da Isra’ila daga Masar ba,’
“Therefore, behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that they will no more say, ‘As the LORD lives, who brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;’
8 amma za su ce, ‘Muddin Ubangiji yana raye, wanda ya fito da zuriyar Isra’ila daga ƙasar arewa da kuma daga dukan ƙasashen da ya yashe su.’ Sa’an nan za su zauna a ƙasarsu.”
but, ‘As the LORD lives, who brought up and who led the offspring of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all the countries where I had driven them.’ Then they will dwell in their own land.”
9 Game da annabawa kuwa, Zuciyata ta karai; dukan ƙasusuwana suna kaɗuwa. Na zama kamar wanda ya bugu, kamar mutumin da ruwan inabi ya sha kansa, saboda Ubangiji da kuma maganarsa mai tsarki.
Concerning the prophets: My heart within me is broken. All my bones shake. I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine has overcome, because of the LORD, and because of his holy words.
10 Ƙasar ta cika da mazinata; saboda la’ana ƙasar ta zama kango makiyaya a hamada ta bushe. Annabawa suna bin mugayen muradu suna kuma amfani da ƙarfinsu a hanyar marar kyau.
“For the land is full of adulterers; for because of the curse the land mourns. The pastures of the wilderness have dried up. Their course is evil, and their might is not right;
11 “Annabi da firist dukansu biyu marasa sanin Allah ne; har ma a cikin haikalina na tarar da muguntarsu,” in ji Ubangiji.
for both prophet and priest are profane. Yes, in my house I have found their wickedness,” says the LORD.
12 “Saboda haka hanyarsu za tă yi santsi; za a jefar da su cikin duhu a can kuwa za su fāɗi. Zan kawo musu masifa a shekarar da za a hukunta su,” in ji Ubangiji.
Therefore their way will be to them as slippery places in the darkness. They will be driven on, and fall therein; for I will bring evil on them, even the year of their visitation,” says the LORD.
13 “A cikin annabawan Samariya na ga wannan abin banƙyama. Suna annabci ta wurin Ba’al suna ɓad da mutanena Isra’ila.
“I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria. They prophesied by Baal, and caused my people Israel to err.
14 A cikin annabawan Urushalima kuma na ga wani abin bantsoro. Suna zina suna kuma rayuwar ƙarya. Sun ƙarfafa hannuwa masu aikata mugunta, domin kada wani ya juya daga muguntarsa. Dukansu sun yi kama da Sodom a gare ni; mutanen Urushalima sun yi kama da Gomorra.”
In the prophets of Jerusalem I have also seen a horrible thing: they commit adultery and walk in lies. They strengthen the hands of evildoers, so that no one returns from his wickedness. They have all become to me as Sodom, and its inhabitants as Gomorrah.”
15 Saboda haka, ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki yana cewa game da annabawa, “Zan sa su ci abinci mai ɗaci su kuma sha ruwa mai dafi, domin daga annabawan Urushalima rashin sani Allah ya bazu ko’ina a ƙasar.”
Therefore the LORD of Armies says concerning the prophets: “Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink poisoned water; for from the prophets of Jerusalem ungodliness has gone out into all the land.”
16 Ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki yana cewa, “Kada ku saurari abin da annabawan suke muku annabci; suna cika ku da sa zuciyar ƙarya. Suna maganar wahayi daga tunaninsu, ba daga bakin Ubangiji ba.
The LORD of Armies says, “Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you. They teach you vanity. They speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD.
17 Suna cin gaba da ce wa waɗanda suka rena ni, ‘Ubangiji ya ce za ku zauna lafiya.’ Ga duka waɗanda suke bin taurin zukatansu kuwa sukan ce, ‘Babu lahanin da zai same ku.’
They say continually to those who despise me, ‘The LORD has said, “You will have peace;”’ and to everyone who walks in the stubbornness of his own heart they say, ‘No evil will come on you.’
18 Amma wane ne a cikinsu ya taɓa tsaya a majalisar Ubangiji yă ga ko ya ji maganarsa? Wa ya saurari ya kuma ji maganarsa?
For who has stood in the council of the LORD, that he should perceive and hear his word? Who has listened to my word, and heard it?
19 Ga shi, hadarin Ubangiji zai taso cikin hasala guguwa tana kaɗawa a kan kawunan mugaye.
Behold, the LORD’s storm, his wrath, has gone out. Yes, a whirling storm! It will burst on the head of the wicked.
20 Fushin Ubangiji ba zai kau ba sai ya aikata nufin zuciyarsa. A kwanakin masu zuwa za ku gane sarai.
The LORD’s anger will not return until he has executed and performed the intents of his heart. In the latter days, you will understand it perfectly.
21 Ban aiki waɗannan annabawa ba, duk da haka sun tafi da saƙonsu; ban yi musu magana ba, duk da haka sun yi annabci.
I did not send these prophets, yet they ran. I did not speak to them, yet they prophesied.
22 Amma da a ce sun tsaya a majalisata, da sun yi shelar maganata ga mutanena sun kuma juyar da su daga mugayen hanyoyinsu da kuma daga mugayen ayyukansu.
But if they had stood in my council, then they would have caused my people to hear my words, and would have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.
23 “Ni ɗin Allah na kusa ne kawai,” in ji Ubangiji, “ba Allah na nesa ba?
“Am I a God at hand,” says the LORD, “and not a God afar off?
24 Akwai wanda zai iya ɓuya a lungu har da ba zan iya ganinsa ba?” In ji Ubangiji “Ban cika sama da ƙasa ba?” In ji Ubangiji.
Can anyone hide himself in secret places so that I cannot see him?” says the LORD. “Do not I fill heaven and earth?” says the LORD.
25 “Na ji abin da annabawa suna cewa su da suke annabcin ƙarya a sunana. Suna cewa, ‘Na yi mafarki! Na yi mafarki!’
“I have heard what the prophets have said, who prophesy lies in my name, saying, ‘I had a dream! I had a dream!’
26 Har yaushe wannan zai ci gaba a cikin zukata annabawa masu ƙarya, waɗanda suke annabcin ruɗun tunaninsu?
How long will this be in the heart of the prophets who prophesy lies, even the prophets of the deceit of their own heart?
27 Suna tsammanin mafarkan da suke faɗa wa juna za su sa mutane su manta da sunana, kamar yadda kakanninsu suka manta da sunana ta wurin yin wa Ba’al sujada.
They intend to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they each tell his neighbor, as their fathers forgot my name because of Baal.
28 Bari annabin da ya yi mafarki ya faɗa mafarkinsa, amma bari wanda yake da maganata ya yi ta da aminci. Gama me ya haɗa ciyawa da alkama?” In ji Ubangiji.
The prophet who has a dream, let him tell a dream; and he who has my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the straw to the wheat?” says the LORD.
29 “Maganata ba wuta ba ce,” in ji Ubangiji, “kuma kamar gudumar da kan ragargaza dutse?
“Is not my word like fire?” says the LORD; “and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?
30 “Saboda haka,” in ji Ubangiji, “Ina gāba da annabawan da suke satar maganganuna daga juna.
“Therefore behold, I am against the prophets,” says the LORD, “who each steal my words from his neighbor.
31 I,” in ji Ubangiji, “Ina gāba da annabawan da suke kaɗa harsunansu sa’an nan su ce, ‘Ubangiji ne ya furta.’
Behold, I am against the prophets,” says the LORD, “who use their tongues, and say, ‘He says.’
32 Tabbatacce, ina gāba da waɗannan da suke annabci mafarkan karya,” in ji Ubangiji. “Suna faɗarsu suna ɓad da mutanena da ƙarairayinsu na rashin hankali, duk da haka ban aike su ba, ban kuwa umarce su ba. Ba su amfani wannan mutane ba ko kaɗan,” in ji Ubangiji.
Behold, I am against those who prophesy lying dreams,” says the LORD, “who tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their vain boasting; yet I did not send them or command them. They do not profit this people at all,” says the LORD.
33 “Sa’ad da waɗannan mutane, ko annabi ko firist, ya tambaye ka, ‘Mece ce maganarUbangiji?’ Ka ce musu, ‘Wace magana? Zan yashe ku, in ji Ubangiji.’
“When this people, or the prophet, or a priest, asks you, saying, ‘What is the message from the LORD?’ Then you shall tell them, ‘“What message? I will cast you off,” says the LORD.’
34 In annabi ko firist ko da wani dabam ya ce, ‘Wannan ne abin da Ubangiji yake cewa,’ zan hukunta wannan mutum da kuma gidansa.
As for the prophet, the priest, and the people, who say, ‘The message from the LORD,’ I will even punish that man and his household.
35 Ga abin da kowannenku yana cin gaba da ce wa abokinsa ko danginsa, ‘Mece ce amsar Ubangiji?’ Ko kuwa ‘mene ne Ubangiji ya faɗa?’
You will say everyone to his neighbor, and everyone to his brother, ‘What has the LORD answered?’ and, ‘What has the LORD said?’
36 Amma kada ku ƙara ambatar ‘maganar Ubangiji’ domin kowace maganar mutum kan zama maganarsa. Ta haka kukan lalace maganar Allah mai rai, Ubangiji Maɗaukaki, Allahnmu.
You will mention the message from the LORD no more, for every man’s own word has become his message; for you have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of Armies, our God.
37 Ga abin da za ku ci gaba da faɗa wa annabi, ‘Mece ce amsar Ubangiji gare ka?’ Ko kuwa ‘mene ne Ubangiji ya faɗa?’
You will say to the prophet, ‘What has the LORD answered you?’ and, ‘What has the LORD spoken?’
38 Ko da yake kuna cewa, ‘Wannan ce maganar Ubangiji,’ ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa kuna amfani da kalmomi, ‘Wannan ce maganar Ubangiji,’ ko da yake na ce muku kada ku ce, ‘Wannan ce maganar Ubangiji.’
Although you say, ‘The message from the LORD,’ therefore the LORD says: ‘Because you say this word, “The message from the LORD,” and I have sent to you, telling you not to say, “The message from the LORD,”
39 Saboda haka, tabbatacce zan manta da ku in kuma jefar da ku daga gabana tare da birnin da na ba ku da kuma kakanninku.
therefore behold, I will utterly forget you, and I will cast you off with the city that I gave to you and to your fathers, away from my presence.
40 Zan kawo muku madawwamiyar kunya, kunya ta har abada wadda ba za a taɓa manta ba.”
I will bring an everlasting reproach on you, and a perpetual shame, which will not be forgotten.’”
