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.
If a man put away his wife, and she depart from him, and become another man's, shall she return to him any more at all? shall not that woman be utterly defiled? ye thou hast gone a-whoring with many shepherds, and hast returned to me, saith 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.
Lift up thine eyes [to look] straight forward, and see where thou hast not been utterly defiled. Thou hast sat for them by the wayside as a deserted crow, and hast defiled the land with thy fornications and thy wickedness.
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.
And thou didst retain many shepherds for a stumbling-block to thyself: thou hadst a whore's face, thou didst become shameless toward all.
4 Yanzu ba kin kira ni, ‘Mahaifina, abokina daga ƙuruciyata ba,
Hast thou not called me as it were a home, and the father and guide of thy virgin-time?
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 [God's anger] continue for ever, or be preserved to the end? Behold, thou hast spoken and done these bad things, and hadst power [to do them].
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 Josias the king, Hast thou seen what things the house of Israel has done to me? they have gone on every high mountain, and under every shady tree, and have committed fornication 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 had committed all these acts of fornication, Turn again to me. Yet she returned not. And faithless Juda saw her faithlessness.
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 I saw that (for all the sins of which she was convicted, wherein the house of Israel committed adultery, and I put her away, and gave into her hands a bill of divorcement, ) yet faithless Juda feared not, but went and herself also committed fornication.
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.
And her fornication was nothing accounted of; and she committed adultery with wood and stone.
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.
And for all these things faithless Juda turned not to me with all her heart, but falsely.
11 Ubangiji ya ce mini, “Isra’ila marar bangaskiya ta fi Yahuda marar aminci.
And the Lord said to me, Israel has justified himself more than faithless Juda.
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 read these words toward the north, and thou shalt say, Return to me, O house of Israel, saith the Lord; and I will not set my face against you: for I am merciful, saith the Lord, and I will not be angry with you 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.
Nevertheless, know thine iniquity, that thou hast sinned against the Lord thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to strangers under every shady tree, but thou didst not hearken to my voice, saith 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.
Turn, ye children that have revolted, saith the Lord; for I will rule over you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you in to Sion:
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 shepherds after my heart, and they shall certainly tend you with knowledge.
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 shall come to pass that when ye are multiplied and increased upon the land, saith the Lord, in those days they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the Holy One of Israel: it shall not come to mind; it shall not be named; neither shall it be visited; nor shall [this] be done any more.
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.
In those days and at that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the Lord; and all the nations shall be gathered to it: and they shall not walk any more after the imaginations of their evil heart.
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 house of Juda, shall come together to the house of Israel, and they shall come, together, from the land of the north, and from all the countries, to the land, which I caused their fathers to inherit.
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.
And I said, So be it, Lord, for [thou saidst] I will set thee among children, and will give thee a choice land, the inheritance of the Almighty God of the Gentiles: and I said, Ye shall call me Father; and ye shall not turn 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.
But as a wife acts treacherously against her husband, so has the house of Israel dealt treacherously against me, saith 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 from the lips was heard, [even] of weeping and supplication of the children of Israel: for they have dealt unrighteously in their ways, they have forgotten God their Holy One.
22 “Ku komo, mutane marasa bangaskiya; zan warkar da ku daga ja da bayanku.” “I, za mu zo wurinka, gama kai ne Ubangiji Allahnmu.
Turn, ye children that are given to turning, and I will heal your bruises. Behold, we will be thy servants; for thou art 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 strength of the mountains were a lying refuge: but by 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 shame has consumed the labours of our fathers from our youth; their sheep and their calves, and 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.”
We have lain down in our shame, and our disgrace has covered us: because we and our fathers have sinned before our God, from our youth until this day; and we have not hearkened to the voice of the Lord our God.
