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.
He hath said, If a man send away his wife, and she go from him and become another man’s, will he return unto her, again? would not that land be, utterly defiled? And, thou, hast been unchaste with many neighbours, and yet [thinkest] to return unto me! Declareth Yahweh.
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 unto the bare heights and see—where thou hast not been unchastely embraced! beside the ways, hast thou sat to them, like the Arabian in the desert, —and hast defiled the land with thine unchastities, and with 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.
Therefore have been withholden the showers, And, the latter rain, hath not come, —Yet the forehead of an unchaste woman, hast thou, Thou hast refused to be ashamed.
4 Yanzu ba kin kira ni, ‘Mahaifina, abokina daga ƙuruciyata ba,
Hast thou not from this time, cried unto me, My father! the friend of my youth, art, thou?
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 maintain his anger to times age-abiding? Will he keep it perpetually? Lo! thou hast spoken thus but hast done wicked things and had thy 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 Yahweh said unto me, in the days of Josiah the king, Hast thou seen what apostate Israel, did? She used to go upon every high mountain and beneath every green tree, and commit unchastity 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 been doing all these things, Unto me, shall thou return? and she returned not, —and her treacherous 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.
Though she saw that for all this, apostate Israel having committed adultery, I had sent her away, and had given a scroll of divorcement unto her, yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but, she also, went and committed unchastity.
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.
Yea though it had come to pass that through the levity of her unchastity, she had defiled the land, —and committed adultery with Stone and with Tree,
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.
yet, in spite of all this, her treacherous sister Judah returned not unto me, with all her heart, —but, falsely, Declareth Yahweh.
11 Ubangiji ya ce mini, “Isra’ila marar bangaskiya ta fi Yahuda marar aminci.
Then said Yahweh unto me, —Apostate Israel, hath justified herself, —more than treacherous 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 proclaim these words, towards the North and say—Return! thou apostate—Israel, Urgeth Yahweh, I will not lower my face against you, —for full of lovingkindness, I am, Declareth Yahweh, I will not maintain [mine anger] unto times age-abiding.
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, acknowledge thine iniquity, that against Yahweh thy God, hast thou transgressed, —and hast gone hither and thither unto foreigners under every green tree, and unto my voice, ye have not hearkened Declareth Yahweh.
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.
Return, ye apostate sons, Urgeth Yahweh, for, I, am become your husband, —therefore will I take you one of a city, and two of a family, and will bring you 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 will give you shepherds according to mine own heart, —who will feed you with knowledge and discretion.
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 when ye shall be multiplied and become fruitful in the land, in those days, Declareth Yahweh, They shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of Yahweh, Neither shall it come up on the heart, Neither shall they remember it, Neither shall they miss it, Neither shall it be made 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.
At that time, shall they call Jerusalem, The throne of Yahweh, and there shall be gathered unto her all the nations—to the Name of Yahweh, to Jerusalem; and they shall walk no more after the stubbornness of their own wicked 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, shall the house of Judah go unto the house of Israel, —that they may enter together out of the land of the North, upon the land which I gave as an inheritance unto 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.
Though, I myself, had said, —How can I put thee among the sons, And give thee a land to be coveted, An inheritance of beauty, of the hosts of nations? Yet I said, My father, shalt thou call me, And away from me, shalt thou not turn.
20 Amma kamar mace marar aminci ga mijinta, haka kika kasance marar aminci gare ni, ya gidan Isra’ila,” in ji Ubangiji.
But indeed [as] a wife goeth treacherously from her husband, so, have ye acted treacherously with me, O house of Israel, Declareth Yahweh.
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 on the bare heights, is heard, The weeping of the supplications of the sons of Israel, —Because they have perverted their way, Have forgotten Yahweh their God.
22 “Ku komo, mutane marasa bangaskiya; zan warkar da ku daga ja da bayanku.” “I, za mu zo wurinka, gama kai ne Ubangiji Allahnmu.
Return ye apostate sons, I will heal your apostasies! Behold us! we have come unto thee, For thou, art Yahweh our God.
23 Tabbatacce hayaniyar bin gumaka a kan tuddai da duwatsu banza ne; tabbatacce a wurin Ubangiji Allahnmu ne akwai ceton Isra’ila.
Surely, to falsehood, pertain the hills The noisy throng on the mountains, —Surely, in Yahweh 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 Shameful thing, hath devoured the labour of our fathers from our youth: 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.”
We must lie down in our shame And our reproach, be our covering, For, against Yahweh our God, have we sinned, We and our fathers, from our youth even until this day, —Neither have we hearkened unto the voice of Yahweh our God.
