< Irmiya 31 >
1 “A lokacin nan, zan zama Allah na dukan kabilan Isra’ila, za su kuma zama mutanena,” in ji Ubangiji.
“At that time,” declares the LORD, “I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they will be My people.”
2 Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, “Mutanen da suka tsere wa takobi za su sami tagomashi a hamada; zan zo don in ba da hutu ga Isra’ila.”
This is what the LORD says: “The people who survived the sword found favor in the wilderness when Israel went to find rest.”
3 Ubangiji ya bayyana mana a dā, yana cewa, “Na ƙaunace ku da madawwamiyar ƙauna; na janye ku da ƙauna marar iyaka.
The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have drawn you with loving devotion.
4 Zan sāke gina ki za ki kuwa sāke ginuwa, ya Budurwar Isra’ila. Za ki kuma ɗauki ganganki ki fita don ki yi rawa da masu farin ciki.
Again I will build you, and you will be rebuilt, O Virgin Israel. Again you will take up your tambourines and go out in joyful dancing.
5 Za ki sāke dasa gonakin inabi a kan tussan Samariya; manoma za su yi shuka a kansu su kuma ji daɗin amfaninsu.
Again you will plant vineyards on the hills of Samaria; the farmers will plant and enjoy the fruit.
6 Za a yi ranar da matsara za su tā da murya a kan tuddan Efraim su ce, ‘Ku zo, bari mu haura Sihiyona, zuwa wurin Ubangiji Allahnmu.’”
For there will be a day when watchmen will call out on the hills of Ephraim, ‘Arise, let us go up to Zion, to the LORD our God!’”
7 Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, “Ku rera don farin ciki wa Yaƙub; ku yi sowa don al’ummai da suke nesa. Ka sa a ji yabanku, ku kuma ce, ‘Ya Ubangiji ka ceci mutanenka, raguwar Isra’ila.’
For this is what the LORD says: “Sing with joy for Jacob; shout for the foremost of the nations! Make your praises heard, and say, ‘O LORD, save Your people, the remnant of Israel!’
8 Ga shi, zan kawo su daga ƙasar arewa in tattara su daga iyakar duniya. A cikinsu makafi da guragu za su kasance, mata masu ciki da matan da suke naƙuda; jama’a mai yawan gaske za su komo.
Behold, I will bring them from the land of the north and gather them from the farthest parts of the earth, including the blind and the lame, expectant mothers and women in labor. They will return as a great assembly!
9 Za su zo da kuka; za su yi addu’a yayinda nake komo da su. Zan bishe su kusa da rafuffukan ruwa a miƙaƙƙiyar hanya inda ba za su yi tuntuɓe ba, domin ni ne mahaifin Isra’ila, Efraim kuma ɗan farina ne.
They will come with weeping, and by their supplication I will lead them; I will make them walk beside streams of waters, on a level path where they will not stumble. For I am Israel’s Father, and Ephraim is My firstborn.”
10 “Ku ji maganar Ubangiji, ya al’ummai; ku yi shelarta a gaban teku masu nesa cewa, ‘Shi wanda ya watsar da Isra’ila zai tattara su zai kuma lura da garkensa kamar makiyayi.’
Hear, O nations, the word of the LORD, and proclaim it in distant coastlands: “The One who scattered Israel will gather them and keep them as a shepherd keeps his flock.
11 Gama Ubangiji zai fanshi Yaƙub zai cece su daga hannun waɗanda suka fi su ƙarfi.
For the LORD has ransomed Jacob and redeemed him from the hand that had overpowered him.
12 Za su zo su yi sowa don farin ciki a ƙwanƙolin Sihiyona; za su yi farin ciki cikin yalwar Ubangiji hatsi, sabon ruwan inabi da mai,’ya’yan garken tumaki da na shanu. Za su zama kamar gonar da aka yi wa banruwa, ba za su ƙara yin baƙin ciki ba.
They will come and shout for joy on the heights of Zion; they will be radiant over the bounty of the LORD— the grain, new wine, and oil, and the young of the flocks and herds. Their life will be like a well-watered garden, and never again will they languish.
13 ’Yan mata za su yi rawa su kuma yi murna, haka ma samari da tsofaffi. Zan mai da makokinsu farin ciki; zan ta’azantar da su in kuma sa su yi farin ciki a maimakon baƙin ciki.
Then the maidens will rejoice with dancing, young men and old as well. I will turn their mourning into joy, and give them comfort and joy for their sorrow.
14 Zan ƙosar da firistoci da yalwa, mutanena kuma za su cika da yalwa,” in ji Ubangiji.
I will fill the souls of the priests abundantly, and will fill My people with My goodness,”
15 Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, “An ji murya daga Rama, makoki da kuka mai zafi, Rahila tana kuka domin’ya’yanta ta kuma ƙi a ta’azantar da ita domin’ya’yanta ba su.”
This is what the LORD says: “A voice is heard in Ramah, mourning and great weeping, Rachel weeping for her children, and refusing to be comforted, because they are no more.”
16 Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, “Hana muryarki kuka da kuma idanunki hawaye, gama za a sāka wa aikinki,” in ji Ubangiji. “Za su komo daga ƙasar abokin gāba.
This is what the LORD says: “Keep your voice from weeping and your eyes from tears, for the reward for your work will come, declares the LORD. Then your children will return from the land of the enemy.
17 Saboda haka akwai sa zuciya domin nan gaba,” in ji Ubangiji. “’Ya’yanki za su komo ƙasarsu.
So there is hope for your future, declares the LORD, and your children will return to their own land.
18 “Tabbatacce na ji gurnanin Efraim yana cewa, ‘Ka hore ni kamar ɗan maraƙi mai ƙin ji, na kuwa horu. Ka mayar da ni, zan kuwa dawo, domin kai ne Ubangiji Allahna.
I have surely heard Ephraim’s moaning: ‘You disciplined me severely, like an untrained calf. Restore me, that I may return, for You are the LORD my God.
19 Bayan na kauce, sai na tuba; bayan na gane, sai na sunkuyar da kaina. Na ji kunya da ƙasƙanci domin ina ɗauke da kunyar ƙuruciyata.’
After I returned, I repented; and after I was instructed, I struck my thigh in grief. I was ashamed and humiliated because I bore the disgrace of my youth.’
20 Efraim ba ƙaunataccen ɗana ba ne, ɗan da nake jin daɗinsa? Ko da yake sau da dama ina maganar gāba a kansa, duk da haka nakan tuna da shi. Saboda haka zuciyata tana marmarinsa; ina da jinƙai mai girma dominsa,” in ji Ubangiji.
Is not Ephraim a precious son to Me, a delightful child? Though I often speak against him, I still remember him. Therefore My heart yearns for him; I have great compassion for him,”
21 “Ki kafa alamun hanya; ki sa shaidun bishewa. Ki lura da babbar hanya da kyau, hanyar da kika bi. Ki komo, ya Budurwar Isra’ila, ki komo zuwa garuruwanki.
“Set up the roadmarks, establish the signposts. Keep the highway in mind, the road you have traveled. Return, O Virgin Israel, return to these cities of yours.
22 Har yaushe za ki yi ta yawo, Ya’ya marar aminci? Ubangiji zai ƙirƙiro sabon abu a duniya mace za tă kewaye namiji.”
How long will you wander, O faithless daughter? For the LORD has created a new thing in the land— a woman will shelter a man.”
23 Ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki, Allah na Isra’ila yana cewa, “Sa’ad da na komo da su daga bauta mutane a ƙasar Yahuda da cikin garuruwanta za su sāke yi amfani da waɗannan kalmomi. ‘Ubangiji ya albarkace ka, ya mazauni mai adalci, ya tsarkakan dutse.’
This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: “When I restore them from captivity, they will once again speak this word in the land of Judah and in its cities: ‘May the LORD bless you, O righteous dwelling place, O holy mountain.’
24 Mutane za su zauna tare a Yahuda da dukan garuruwansa, manoma da waɗanda suke yawo da garkunansu.
And Judah and all its cities will dwell together in the land, the farmers and those who move with the flocks,
25 Zan wartsake waɗanda suka gaji in kuma ƙosar da waɗanda ransu ya yi yaushi.”
for I will refresh the weary soul and replenish all who are weak.”
26 A kan wannan na farka na duba kewaye. Barcina ya yi mini daɗi.
At this I awoke and looked around. My sleep had been most pleasant to me.
27 “Kwanaki suna zuwa,” in ji Ubangiji, “sa’ad da zan kafa gidan Isra’ila da gidan Yahuda da’ya’yan mutane da na dabbobi.
“The days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man and of beast.
28 Kamar yadda na lura da su don su tumɓuke su kuma rusar, su lalatar, su hallaka su kuma kawo masifa, haka zan lura da su don su gina su kuma dasa,” in ji Ubangiji.
Just as I watched over them to uproot and tear down, to demolish, destroy, and bring disaster, so I will watch over them to build and to plant,” declares the LORD.
29 “A waɗannan kwanaki mutane ba za su ƙara ce, “‘Ubanni suka ci’ya’yan inabi masu tsami, haƙoran’ya’ya suka mutu ba.’
“In those days, it will no longer be said: ‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the teeth of the children are set on edge.’
30 A maimako, kowa zai mutu saboda zunubinsa; duk wanda ya ci’ya’yan inabi masu tsami, haƙoransa ne za su mutu.
Instead, each will die for his own iniquity. If anyone eats the sour grapes, his own teeth will be set on edge.
31 “Lokaci yana zuwa,” in ji Ubangiji, “sa’ad da zan yi sabon alkawari da gidan Isra’ila da kuma gidan Yahuda.
Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.
32 Ba zai zama kamar alkawarin da na yi da kakanni kakanninsu ba sa’ad da na kama su da hannu na bishe su daga Masar, domin sun take alkawarina, ko da yake na zama miji a gare su,” in ji Ubangiji.
It will not be like the covenant I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt— a covenant they broke, though I was a husband to them,”
33 “Ga alkawarin da zan yi da gidan Isra’ila bayan wannan lokaci,” in ji Ubangiji. “Zan sa dokata a tunaninsu in kuma rubuta ta a zukatansu. Zan zama Allahnsu, za su kuma zama mutanena.
“But this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the LORD. I will put My law in their minds and inscribe it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they will be My people.
34 Mutum ba zai ƙara koya wa maƙwabci ba, ko ya koya wa ɗan’uwansa cewa, ‘Ka san Ubangiji,’ domin duk za su san ni, daga ƙaraminsu har zuwa babba,” in ji Ubangiji. “Gama zan gafarta muguntarsu ba zan kuwa ƙara tuna da zunubansu ba.”
No longer will each man teach his neighbor or his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD,’ because they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquities and will remember their sins no more.”
35 Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, shi da ya kafa rana don tă yi haske a yini shi da ya sa wata da taurari su yi haske da dare, shi da yake dama teku don raƙuman ruwansa su yi ruri Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ne sunansa.
Thus says the LORD, who gives the sun for light by day, who sets in order the moon and stars for light by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar—the LORD of Hosts is His name:
36 “In dai wannan kafaffiyar ƙa’ida ta daina aiki a gabana,” in ji Ubangiji, “to, sai zuriyar Isra’ila ta daina zama al’umma a gabana.”
“Only if this fixed order departed from My presence, declares the LORD, would Israel’s descendants ever cease to be a nation before Me.”
37 Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, “In a iya auna sammai a kuma bincike tushen duniya a ƙarƙas to, sai in ƙi dukan zuriyar Isra’ila ke nan saboda dukan abin da suka yi,” in ji Ubangiji.
This is what the LORD says: “Only if the heavens above could be measured and the foundations of the earth below searched out would I reject all of Israel’s descendants because of all they have done,”
38 “Kwanaki suna zuwa,” in ji Ubangiji, “sa’ad da za a sāke gina wannan birni domina daga Hasumiyar Hananel zuwa Ƙofar Kusurwa.
“The days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when this city will be rebuilt for Me, from the tower of Hananel to the Corner Gate.
39 Ma’auni zai miƙe daga can ya nausa kai tsaye zuwa tudun Gareb sa’an nan ya juya zuwa Gowa.
The measuring line will once again stretch out straight to the hill of Gareb and then turn toward Goah.
40 Dukan kwarin da ake zubar da toka da kuma gawawwaki, da dukan lambatun da suke can har zuwa Kwarin Kidron a gabas zuwa kusurwar Ƙofar Doki, za su zama mai tsarki ga Ubangiji. Ba za a ƙara tumɓuke birnin ko a rushe shi ba.”
The whole valley of the dead bodies and ashes, and all the fields as far as the Kidron Valley, to the corner of the Horse Gate to the east, will be holy to the LORD. It will never again be uprooted or demolished.”
