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, says 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.”

The Lord has said, Grace came in the waste land to a people kept safe from the sword, even to Israel on the way to his resting-place.

3 Ubangiji ya bayyana mana a dā, yana cewa, “Na ƙaunace ku da madawwamiyar ƙauna; na janye ku da ƙauna marar iyaka.

From far away he saw the Lord: my love for you is an eternal love: so with mercy I have made you come with me.

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.

I will again make new your buildings, O virgin of Israel, and you will take up your place: again you will take up your instruments of music, and go out in the dances of those who are glad.

5 Za ki sāke dasa gonakin inabi a kan tussan Samariya; manoma za su yi shuka a kansu su kuma ji daɗin amfaninsu.

Again will your vine-gardens be planted on the hill of Samaria: the planters will be planting and using 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 those who get in the grapes on the hills of Ephraim will be crying, Up! 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 the Lord has said, Make a glad song for Jacob and give a cry on the top of the mountains: give the news, give praise, and say, The Lord has given salvation to his people, even to the rest 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.

See, I will take them from the north country, and get them from the inmost parts of the earth, and with them the blind and the feeble-footed, the woman with child and her who is in birth-pains together: a very great army, they will come back here.

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 going before them I will be their guide: guiding them by streams of water in a straight way where there is no falling: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is the first of my sons.

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.’

Give ear to the word of the Lord, O you nations, and give news of it in the sea-lands far away, and say, He who has sent Israel wandering will get him together and will keep him as a keeper does his flock.

11 Gama Ubangiji zai fanshi Yaƙub zai cece su daga hannun waɗanda suka fi su ƙarfi.

For the Lord has given a price for Jacob, and made him free from the hands of him who was stronger than he.

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.

So they will come with songs on the high places, flowing together to the good things of the Lord, to the grain and the wine and the oil, to the young ones of the flock and of the herd: their souls will be like a watered garden, and they will have no more sorrow.

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 virgin will have joy in the dance, and the young men and the old will be glad: for I will have their weeping turned into joy, I will give them comfort and make them glad after their sorrow.

14 Zan ƙosar da firistoci da yalwa, mutanena kuma za su cika da yalwa,” in ji Ubangiji.

I will give the priests their desired fat things, and my people will have a full measure of my good things, says the Lord.

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.”

So has the Lord said: In Ramah there is a sound of crying, weeping and bitter sorrow; Rachel weeping for her children; she will not be comforted for their loss.

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.

The Lord has said this: Keep your voice from sorrow and your eyes from weeping: for your work will be rewarded, says the Lord; and they will come back from the land of their hater.

17 Saboda haka akwai sa zuciya domin nan gaba,” in ji Ubangiji. “’Ya’yanki za su komo ƙasarsu.

And there is hope for the future, says the Lord; and your children will come back to the land which is theirs.

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.

Certainly Ephraim's words of grief have come to my ears, You have given me training and I have undergone it like a young cow unused to the yoke: let me be turned and come back, 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.’

Truly, after I had been turned, I had regret for my ways; and after I had got knowledge, I made signs of sorrow: I was put to shame, truly, I was covered with shame, because I had to undergo the shame of my early years.

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 Ephraim my dear son? is he the child of my delight? for whenever I say things against him, I still keep him in my memory: so my heart is troubled for him; I will certainly have mercy on him, says the Lord.

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.

Put up guiding pillars, make road signs for yourself: give attention to the highway, even the way in which you went: be turned again, O virgin of Israel, be turned to these your towns.

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 go on turning this way and that, O wandering daughter? for the Lord has made a new thing on the earth, a woman changed into 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.’

So the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said, Again will these words be used in the land of Judah and in its towns, when I have let their fate be changed: May the blessing of the Lord be on you, O resting-place of righteousness, 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 towns will be living there together; the farmers and those who go about with flocks.

25 Zan wartsake waɗanda suka gaji in kuma ƙosar da waɗanda ransu ya yi yaushi.”

For I have given new strength to the tired soul and to every sorrowing soul in full measure.

26 A kan wannan na farka na duba kewaye. Barcina ya yi mini daɗi.

At this, awaking from my sleep, I saw; and my sleep was sweet 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.

See, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will have Israel and Judah planted with the seed of man and with the seed 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.

And it will come about that, as I have been watching over them for the purpose of uprooting and smashing down and overturning and sending destruction and causing trouble; so I will be watching over them for the purpose of building up and planting, says 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 they will no longer say, The fathers have been tasting bitter grapes and the children's teeth are put on edge.

30 A maimako, kowa zai mutu saboda zunubinsa; duk wanda ya ci’ya’yan inabi masu tsami, haƙoransa ne za su mutu.

But everyone will be put to death for the evil which he himself has done: whoever has taken bitter grapes will himself have his teeth put on edge.

31 “Lokaci yana zuwa,” in ji Ubangiji, “sa’ad da zan yi sabon alkawari da gidan Isra’ila da kuma gidan Yahuda.

See, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new agreement with the people of Israel and with the people 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.

Not like the agreement which I made with their fathers, on the day when I took them by the hand to be their guide out of the land of Egypt; which agreement was broken by them, and I gave them up, says the Lord.

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 agreement which I will make with the people of Israel after those days, says the Lord; I will put my law in their inner parts, writing it in 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.”

And no longer will they be teaching every man his neighbour and every man his brother, saying, Get knowledge of the Lord: for they will all have knowledge of me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the Lord: for they will have my forgiveness for their evil-doing, and their sin will go from my memory for ever.

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.

These are the words of the Lord, who has given the sun for a light by day, ordering the moon and stars for a light by night, who puts the sea in motion, causing the thunder of its waves; the Lord of armies 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.”

If the order of these things before me is ever broken, says the Lord, then will the seed of Israel come to an end as a nation before me for ever.

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 has said: If the heavens on high may be measured, and the bases of the earth searched out, then I will give up the seed of Israel, because of all they have done, says the Lord.

38 “Kwanaki suna zuwa,” in ji Ubangiji, “sa’ad da za a sāke gina wannan birni domina daga Hasumiyar Hananel zuwa Ƙofar Kusurwa.

See, the days are coming, says the Lord, for the building of the Lord's town, from the tower of Hananel to the doorway of the angle.

39 Ma’auni zai miƙe daga can ya nausa kai tsaye zuwa tudun Gareb sa’an nan ya juya zuwa Gowa.

And the measuring-line will go out in front of it as far as the hill Gareb, going round to 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.”

And all the valley of the dead bodies, and all the field of death as far as the stream Kidron, up to the angle of the horses' doorway to the east, will be holy to the Lord; it will not again be uprooted or overturned for ever.
