Irmiya 24

1 Bayan Nebukadnezzar ya kwashi Yekoniya ɗan Yehohiyakim sarkin Yahuda da fadawa, da masu sana’a da masu zane zanen Yahuda daga Urushalima zuwa Babilon zaman bauta, Ubangiji ya nuna mini kwanduna biyu na’ya’yan ɓaure ajiye a gaban haikalin Ubangiji.

Yahweh showed me something. Behold, two baskets of figs were placed before Yahweh's temple. (This vision happened after Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, took into exile Jehoiachin son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, the officials of Judah, the craftsmen and the metalworkers from Jerusalem and brought them to Babylon.)

2 Kwando guda yana da’ya’yan ɓaure masu kyau sosai, kamar waɗanda suka nuna da wuri; ɗayan kwandon kuma yana da’ya’yan ɓaure marasa kyau, sun yi muni har ba a iya ci.

One basket of figs was very good, like first ripe figs, but the other basket of figs was so very bad that they could not be eaten.

3 Sa’an nan Ubangiji ya tambaye ni ya ce, “Me ka gani, Irmiya?” Na ce, “’Ya’yan ɓaure. Masu kyau ɗin suna da kyau sosai, amma munanan sun yi muni har ba a iya ci.”

Yahweh said to me, “What do you see, Jeremiah?” I said, “Figs. Figs that are very good and figs that are so very bad they cannot be eaten.”

4 Sai maganar Ubangiji ta zo mini cewa,

Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

5 “Ga abin da Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila, yana cewa, ‘Kamar’ya’yan ɓauren nan masu kyau, haka zan kula da mutanen Yahuda waɗanda aka kwaso waɗanda na fisshe su daga wannan wuri zuwa ƙasar Babiloniyawa

“Yahweh, God of Israel, says this: I will look on the exiles of Judah for their benefit, just like these good figs, the exiles whom I have sent out from this place to the land of Chaldea.

6 Idanuna za su kula da su don kyautatawarsu, zan kuma komo da su wannan ƙasa. Zan gina su ba zan rushe su ba; zan dasa su ba kuwa zan tumɓuke su ba.

I will set my eyes on them for good and restore them to this land. I will build them up, and not tear them down. I will plant them, and not uproot them.

7 Zan ba su zuciya don su san ni, cewa ni ne Ubangiji. Za su zama mutanena, zan zama Allahnsu, gama za su komo gare ni da dukan zuciyarsu.

Then I will give them a heart to know me, for I am Yahweh. They will be my people and I will be their God, so they will turn to me with all their heart.

8 “‘Amma kamar’ya’yan ɓauren nan marasa kyau, waɗanda sun yi muni har ba a iya ci,’ in ji Ubangiji, ‘haka zan yi da Zedekiya sarkin Yahuda, fadawansa da sauran mutanen da suka tsira a Urushalima, ko suna a wannan ƙasa ko suna zama a Masar.

But like the bad figs that are too bad to be eaten—this is what Yahweh says—I will act in this way with Zedekiah, king of Judah, with his officials, and with the rest of Jerusalem who remain in this land or go to stay in the land of Egypt.

9 Zan mai da su abin ƙyama da masifa ga dukan mulkokin duniya, abin zargi da abin karin magana, abin ba’a da abin la’ana a duk inda zan kore su zuwa.

I will turn them into a frightening thing, a disaster, in the sight of all the kingdoms on earth, a disgrace and a subject for proverbs, taunts, and curses in every place where I will have driven them.

10 Zan aika da takobi, yunwa da annoba a kansu sai an hallaka su sarai daga ƙasar da na ba su da kuma kakanninsu.’”

I will send out sword, famine, and plague against them, until they are destroyed from the land that I gave them and their ancestors.”
