Irmiya 23
1 “Kaiton makiyayan da suka hallakar suka kuma warwatsar da tumakin makiyayanta!” In ji Ubangiji.
Woe be to the shepherds that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith 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 thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the shepherds that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith 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.
And I will gather the remnant of my flock from all countries where I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase.
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.
And I will set shepherds over them who shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith 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, saith the LORD, that I will raise to David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice upon the earth.
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 shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell in safety: and this is his name by which he shall 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, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, who brought 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, The LORD liveth, who brought and who led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries where I have driven them; and they shall 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.
My heart within me is broken because of the prophets; all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome, because of the LORD, and because of the words of his holiness.
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 swearing the land mourneth; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their course is evil, and their force 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; even, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith 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 shall be to them as slippery paths in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall in it: for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their punishment, saith the LORD.
13 “A cikin annabawan Samariya na ga wannan abin banƙyama. Suna annabci ta wurin Ba’al suna ɓad da mutanena Isra’ila.
And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied in 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.”
I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness: they are all of them 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 thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the prophets; Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth 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.
Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not to the words of the prophets that prophesy to you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not from 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 still to them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say to every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon 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 hath stood in the counsel of the LORD, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it?
19 Ga shi, hadarin Ubangiji zai taso cikin hasala guguwa tana kaɗawa a kan kawunan mugaye.
Behold, a whirlwind of the LORD is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon 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 anger of the LORD shall not return, until he shall have executed, and till he shall have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider 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 have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken 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 counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should 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, saith 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 any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith 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 said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.
26 Har yaushe wannan zai ci gaba a cikin zukata annabawa masu ƙarya, waɗanda suke annabcin ruɗun tunaninsu?
How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are 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.
Who think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for 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 that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the LORD.
29 “Maganata ba wuta ba ce,” in ji Ubangiji, “kuma kamar gudumar da kan ragargaza dutse?
Is not my word like a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh 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, saith the LORD, that steal my words every one from his neighbour.
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, saith the LORD, that use their tongues, and say, He saith.
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 them that prophesy false dreams, saith the LORD, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their reckless boasting; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith 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.’
And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask thee, saying, What is the burden of the LORD? thou shalt then say to them, What burden? I will even forsake you, saith 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.
And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say, The burden of the LORD, I will even punish that man and his house.
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?’
Thus shall ye say every one to his neighbour, and every one to his brother, What hath the LORD answered? and, What hath the LORD spoken?
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.
And the burden of the LORD shall ye mention no more: for every man’s word shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of hosts 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?’
Thus shalt thou say to the prophet, What hath the LORD answered thee? and, What hath 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.’
But since ye say, The burden of the LORD; therefore thus saith the LORD; Because ye say this word, The burden of the LORD, and I have sent to you, saying, Ye shall not say, The burden of 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, even I, will utterly forget you, and I will forsake you, and the city that I gave to you and your fathers, and cast you out of my presence:
40 Zan kawo muku madawwamiyar kunya, kunya ta har abada wadda ba za a taɓa manta ba.”
And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.
