Irmiya 3
1 “In mutum ya saki matarsa ta kuwa bar shi ta auri wani mutum, zai iya komo da ita kuma? Ƙasar ba za tă ƙazantu gaba ɗaya ba? Amma kun yi rayuwa kamar karuwa da masoya masu yawa yanzu za ki komo wurina?” In ji Ubangiji.
They say, If a man puts away his wife and she goes from him and becomes another man's, will he go back to her again? will not that land have been made unclean? but though you have been acting like a loose woman with a number of lovers, will you now come back to me? says the Lord.
2 “Ta da idanu ki duba tsaunuka ki gani. Akwai wani wurin da ba a kwana da ke ba? A gefen hanya kin zauna kina jiran masoyanki, kin zauna kamar makiyayi a hamada. Kin ƙazantar da ƙasar da karuwancinki da muguntarki.
Let your eyes be lifted up to the open hilltops, and see; where have you not been taken by your lovers? You have been seated waiting for them by the wayside like an Arabian in the waste land; you have made the land unclean with your loose ways and your evil-doing.
3 Saboda haka an hana yayyafi, kuma babu ruwan bazara da ya sauka. Duk da haka kina da irin kallon da karuwa takan yi; kin ƙi ki ji kunya.
So the showers have been kept back, and there has been no spring rain; still your brow is the brow of a loose woman, you will not let yourself be shamed.
4 Yanzu ba kin kira ni, ‘Mahaifina, abokina daga ƙuruciyata ba,
Will you not, from this time, make your prayer to me, crying, My father, you are the friend of my early years?
5 kullum za ka riƙa fushi? Hasalarka za tă ci gaba har abada ne?’ Haka kike magana, amma kina aikata dukan muguntar da kika iya yi.”
Will he be angry for ever? will he keep his wrath to the end? These things you have said, and have done evil and have had your way.
6 A zamanin Sarki Yosiya, Ubangiji ya ce mini, “Ka ga abin da marar amincin nan, Isra’ila ta yi? Ta haura kan kowane tudu mai tsayi da kowane gindin itace mai duhuwa ta yi zina a can.
And the Lord said to me in the days of Josiah the king, Have you seen what Israel, turning away from me, has done? She has gone up on every high mountain and under every branching tree, acting like a loose woman there.
7 Na yi zaton bayan ta yi wannan duka, za tă komo wurina amma ba tă yi haka ba,’yar’uwarta marar aminci nan Yahuda ta gani.
And I said, After she has done all these things she will come back to me; but she did not. And her false sister Judah saw it.
8 Na ba wa Isra’ila marar bangaskiya takardar saki na kuwa kore ta saboda duk zinanta. Duk da haka na ga cewa’yar’uwarta marar amincin nan Yahuda ba ta da tsoro; ita ma ta fita ta yi zina.
And though she saw that, because Israel, turning away from me, had been untrue to me, I had put her away and given her a statement in writing ending the relation between us, still Judah, her false sister, had no fear, but went and did the same.
9 Domin fasikancin Isra’ila bai yi tasiri gare ta ba, sai ta ƙazantar da ƙasar ta kuma yi zina da dutse da kuma itace.
So that through all her loose behaviour the land became unclean, and she was untrue, giving herself to stones and trees.
10 Duk da wannan duka, Yahuda’yar’uwarta rashin amincin ba tă komo gare ni da dukan zuciyarta ba, sai a munafunce,” in ji Ubangiji.
But for all this, her false sister Judah has not come back to me with all her heart, but with deceit, says the Lord.
11 Ubangiji ya ce mini, “Isra’ila marar bangaskiya ta fi Yahuda marar aminci.
And the Lord said to me, Israel in her turning away is seen to be more upright than false Judah.
12 Ka tafi, ka yi shelar saƙon nan wajen arewa cewa, “‘Ki komo, Isra’ila marar bangaskiya,’ in ji Ubangiji, ‘Ba zan ƙara yin fushi da ke ba, gama ni mai jinƙai ne,’ in ji Ubangiji, ‘Ba zan yi fushi da ke har abada ba.
Go, and give out these words to the north, and say, Come back, O Israel, though you have been turned away from me, says the Lord; my face will not be against you in wrath: for I am full of mercy, says the Lord, I will not be angry for ever.
13 Ki dai yarda da laifinki kin yi wa Ubangiji Allahnki tawaye, kin watsar da alheranki ga baƙin alloli a ƙarƙashin kowane itace mai duhuwa, ba ki kuwa yi mini biyayya ba,’” in ji Ubangiji.
Only be conscious of your sin, the evil you have done against the Lord your God; you have gone with strange men under every branching tree, giving no attention to my voice, says the Lord.
14 “Ku komo, ku mutane marasa bangaskiya,” in ji Ubangiji, “gama ni ne mijinku. Zan ɗauke ku, ɗaya daga garuruwanku da kuma biyu daga zuriyarku in kawo ku a Sihiyona.
Come back, O children who are turned away, says the Lord; for I am a husband to you, and I will take you, one from a town and two from a family, and will make you come to Zion;
15 Sa’an nan zan ba ku makiyaya da suke yin abin da zuciyata take so, waɗanda za su bishe ku da sani da kuma fahimi.
And I will give you keepers, pleasing to my heart, who will give you your food with knowledge and wisdom.
16 A kwanakin, sa’ad da kuka ƙaru sosai a ƙasar,” in ji Ubangiji, “mutane ba za su ƙara yin magana a kan, ‘Akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji ba.’ Ba zai ƙara shiga zuciyarsu ko su tuna ba; ko su bukace shi, ko kuwa su yi wani irinsa ba.
And it will come about, when your numbers are increased in the land, in those days, says the Lord, that they will no longer say, The ark of the agreement of the Lord: it will not come into their minds, they will not have any memory of it, or be conscious of the loss of it, and it will not be made again.
17 A lokacin za su ce da Urushalima Kursiyin Ubangiji, kuma dukan al’ummai za su taru a Urushalima don su girmama sunan Ubangiji. Ba za su ƙara bin taurinkai zuciyarsu mai mugunta ba.
At that time Jerusalem will be named the seat of the Lord's kingdom; and all the nations will come together to it, to the name of the Lord, to Jerusalem: and no longer will their steps be guided by the purposes of their evil hearts.
18 A kwanakin gidan Yahuda zai haɗu da gidan Isra’ila, tare kuma za su zo daga ƙasar da take wajen arewa zuwa ƙasar da na ba kakanninsu gādo.
In those days the family of Judah will go with the family of Israel, and they will come together out of the land of the north into the land which I gave for a heritage to your fathers.
19 “Ni kaina na faɗa, “‘Da farin ciki zan ɗauke ki kamar’ya’yana maza in ba ki ƙasa mai daɗi, gādo mafi kyau da wata al’umma.’ Na zaci za ki kira ni ‘Mahaifi’ ba za ki ƙara rabuwa da bina ba.
But I said, How am I to put you among the children, and give you a desired land, a heritage of glory among the armies of the nations? and I said, You are to say to me, My father; and not be turned away from me.
20 Amma kamar mace marar aminci ga mijinta, haka kika kasance marar aminci gare ni, ya gidan Isra’ila,” in ji Ubangiji.
Truly, as a wife is false to her husband, so have you been false to me, O Israel, says the Lord.
21 An ji kuka a filayen tuddai, kuka da roƙon mutanen Isra’ila, domin sun lalace hanyoyinsu sun kuma manta da Ubangiji Allahnsu.
A voice is sounding on the open hilltops, the weeping and the prayers of the children of Israel; because their way is twisted, they have not kept the Lord their God in mind.
22 “Ku komo, mutane marasa bangaskiya; zan warkar da ku daga ja da bayanku.” “I, za mu zo wurinka, gama kai ne Ubangiji Allahnmu.
Come back, you children who have been turned away, and I will take away your desire for wandering. See, we have come to you, for you are the Lord our God.
23 Tabbatacce hayaniyar bin gumaka a kan tuddai da duwatsu banza ne; tabbatacce a wurin Ubangiji Allahnmu ne akwai ceton Isra’ila.
Truly, the hills, and the noise of an army on the mountains, are a false hope: truly, in the Lord our God is the salvation of Israel.
24 Daga ƙuruciyarmu allolin kunya sun cinye mu amfanin wahalar kakanninmu garkunan tumakinsu da na awakinsu, yaransu maza da mata.
But the Baal has taken all the work of our fathers from our earliest days; their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.
25 Bari mu kwanta mu sha kunya, bari kuma kunyarmu ta rufe mu. Mun yi wa Ubangiji Allahnmu zunubi, da mu da kakanninmu; daga ƙuruciyarmu har yă zuwa yau ba mu yi wa Ubangiji Allahnmu biyayya ba.”
Let us be stretched on the earth in our downfall, covering ourselves with our shame: for we have been sinners against the Lord our God, we and our fathers, from our earliest years even till this day: and we have not given ear to the voice of the Lord our God.
