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, and behold, two baskets of figs were set before Yahweh’s temple, after Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, with the craftsmen and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had 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 had very good figs, like the figs that are first-ripe; and the other basket had very bad figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad.

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.”

Then Yahweh asked me, “What do you see, Jeremiah?” I said, “Figs. The good figs are very good, and the bad are very bad, so bad that they can’t be eaten.”

4 Sai maganar Ubangiji ta zo mini cewa,

Yahweh’s word 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, the God of Israel says: ‘Like these good figs, so I will regard the captives of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans, as good.

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.

For I will set my eyes on them for good, and I will bring them again to this land. I will build them, and not pull them down. I will plant them, and not pluck them up.

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.

I will give them a heart to know me, that I am Yahweh. They will be my people, and I will be their God; for they will return to me with their whole 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.

“‘As the bad figs, which can’t be eaten, they are so bad,’ surely Yahweh says, ‘So I will give up Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, and the remnant of Jerusalem who remain in this land, and those who dwell 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 even give them up to be tossed back and forth among all the kingdoms of the earth for evil, to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places where I will drive 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 the sword, the famine, and the pestilence among them, until they are consumed from off the land that I gave to them and to their fathers.’”
