Irmiya 34
1 Yayinda Nebukadnezzar sarkin Babilon da dukan sojojinsa da kuma dukan mulkokinsa da mutanen masarautar da yake mulki suna yaƙi da Urushalima da dukan garuruwan da suke kewaye, sai wannan magana ta zo wa Irmiya daga wurin Ubangiji cewa,
The word that hath been unto Jeremiah from Jehovah — and Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his force, and all kingdoms of the land of the dominion of his hand, and all the peoples are fighting against Jerusalem, and against all its cities — saying:
2 “Ga abin da Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila, yana cewa ka tafi wurin Zedekiya sarkin Yahuda ka faɗa masa, ‘Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, ina gab da ba da wannan birni ga sarkin Babilon, zai kuwa ƙone ta.
'Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel: Go, and thou hast spoken unto Zedekiah king of Judah, and hast said unto him, Thus said Jehovah: Lo, I am giving this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he hath burned it with fire,
3 Ba za ka tsere daga hannunsa ba amma tabbatacce za a kama ka a kuma ba da kai gare shi. Za ka ga sarkin Babilon da idanunka, zai kuwa yi magana da kai fuska da fuska. Za ka kuwa tafi Babilon.
and thou, thou dost not escape out of his hand, for thou art certainly caught, and into his hand thou art given, and thine eyes see the eyes of the king of Babylon, and his mouth with thy mouth speaketh, and Babylon thou enterest.
4 “‘Duk da haka ka ji alkawarin Ubangiji, ya Zedekiya sarkin Yahuda. Ga abin da Ubangiji yake cewa game da kai. Ba za ka mutu ta takobi ba;
'Only, hear a word of Jehovah, O Zedekiah king of Judah, Thus said Jehovah unto thee: Thou dost not die by sword,
5 za ka mutu cikin salama. Yadda mutane suka ƙuna wutar jana’iza don girmama kakanninka, sarakunan da suka riga ka, haka za su ƙuna wuta don girmama da kuma makokinka suna cewa, “Kaito, ya maigida!” Ni kaina na yi wannan alkawari, in ji Ubangiji.’”
in peace thou diest, and with the burnings of thy fathers, the former kings who have been before thee, so they make a burning for thee; and Ah, lord, they lament for thee, for the word I have spoken — an affirmation of Jehovah.'
6 Sa’an nan annabi Irmiya ya faɗi dukan wannan wa Zedekiya sarkin Yahuda, a Urushalima,
And Jeremiah the prophet speaketh unto Zedekiah king of Judah all these words in Jerusalem,
7 yayinda sojojin sarkin Babilon suna yaƙi da Urushalima da sauran garuruwan Yahuda waɗanda suka ragu, Lakish da Azeka. Waɗannan su ne birane masu katanga kaɗai a Yahuda.
and the forces of the king of Babylon are fighting against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that are left — against Lachish, and against Azekah, for these have been left among the cities of Judah, cities of fortresses.
8 Maganar ta zo wa Irmiya daga Ubangiji bayan Sarki Zedekiya ya yi yarjejjeniya da duka mutane a Urushalima ya yi shelar’yanci wa bayi.
The word that hath been unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, after the making by the king Zedekiah of a covenant with all the people who [are] in Jerusalem, to proclaim to them liberty,
9 Kowa ya’yantar da bayinsa da suke Ibraniyawa, maza da mata; kada kowa ya riƙe bawa wanda yake mutumin Yahuda.
to send out each his man-servant, and each his maid-servant — the Hebrew and the Hebrewess — free, so as not to lay service on them, any on a Jew his brother;
10 Saboda haka dukan fadawa da mutane suka yi yarjejjeniyar cewa za su’yantar da bayinsu maza da mata ba za su kuwa ƙara riƙe su bayi ba. Suka yarda, suka kuma sake su.
and hearken do all the heads, and all the people who have come in to the covenant to send forth each his man-servant and each his maid-servant free, so as not to lay service on them any more, yea, they hearken, and send them away;
11 Amma daga baya suka canja ra’ayoyinsu suka maido bayinsu suka kuma sāke bautar da su.
and they turn afterwards, and cause the men-servants and the maid-servants to return, whom they had sent forth free, and they subdue them for men-servants and for maid-servants.
12 Sai maganar Ubangiji ta zo wa Irmiya cewa,
And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying:
13 “Ga abin da Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila, yana cewa na yi alkawari da kakanni-kakanninku sa’ad da na fitar da su daga Masar, daga ƙasar bauta. Na ce,
'Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, I — I made a covenant with your fathers in the day of My bringing them forth from the land of Egypt, from a house of servants, saying,
14 ‘A kowace shekara ta bakwai dole kowannenku yă’yantar da duk wani ɗan’uwa mutumin Ibraniyawa wanda aka sayar masa. Bayan ya yi muku hidima shekaru shida, dole ku bar shi yă tafi’yantacce.’ Amma kakanninku ba su saurare ni ba, ba su ji ni ba.
At the end of seven years ye do send forth each his brother, the Hebrew, who is sold to thee, and hath served thee six years, yea, thou hast sent him forth free from thee: and your fathers hearkened not unto Me, nor inclined their ear.
15 Bai daɗe ba da kuka tuba, kuka kuma yi abin da yake mai kyau a idona. Kowannenku ya yi shelar’yanci ga ɗan’uwansa. Kun ma yi yarjejjeniya a gabana a gidan da ake kira da Sunana.
'And ye turn back, ye to-day, and ye do that which is right in Mine eyes, to proclaim liberty each to his neighbour, and ye make a covenant before Me in the house over which My name is called.
16 Amma yanzu kun juya kun kuma ɓata sunana; kowannenku ya mayar da bayi maza da matan da kuka’yantar su tafi inda suka ga dama. Kun sāke tilasta su su zama bayinku.
And — ye turn back, and pollute My name, and ye cause each his man-servant and each his maid-servant, whom he had sent forth free, (at their pleasure, ) to return, and ye subdue them to be to you for men-servants and for maid-servants.
17 “Saboda haka, ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, kun yi mini rashin biyayya; ba ku yi shelar’yanci don’yan’uwanku ba. Saboda haka yanzu na yi muku shelar’yanci in ji Ubangiji,’yanci ga mutuwa ta takobi, annoba da kuma yunwa. Zan sa ku zama abin ƙyama ga sauran mulkokin duniya.
'Therefore, thus said Jehovah: Ye have not hearkened unto Me to proclaim freedom, each to his brother, and each to his neighbour; lo, I am proclaiming to you liberty — an affirmation of Jehovah — unto the sword, unto the pestilence, and unto the famine, and I have given you for a trembling to all kingdoms of the earth.
18 Mutanen da suka keta alkawarina da ba su cika sharuɗan alkawarin da suka yi a gabana ba, zan yi da su kamar ɗan maraƙin da suka yanka biyu suka bi ta tsakiyarsa.
'And I have given the men who are transgressing My covenant, who have not established the words of the covenant that they have made before Me, by the calf, that they have cut in two, and pass through between its pieces —
19 Shugabannin Yahuda da Urushalima, fadawa, firistoci da kuma dukan mutanen ƙasar waɗanda suka bi tsakanin ɗan maraƙin da aka yanka,
heads of Judah, and heads of Jerusalem, the officers, and the priests, and all the people of the land those passing through between the pieces of the calf —
20 zan ba da su ga abokan gābansu waɗanda suke neman ransu. Gawawwakinsu za su zama abincin tsuntsayen sararin sama da na namun jeji.
yea, I have given them into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those seeking their soul, and their carcase hath been for food to the fowl of the heavens, and to the beast of the earth.
21 “Zan ba da Zedekiya sarkin Yahuda da fadawansa ga abokan gābansu waɗanda suke neman ransu, ga sojojin sarkin Babilon, waɗanda suke janye daga gare ku.
'And Zedekiah king of Judah, and his heads, I give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those seeking their soul, and into the hand of the forces of the king of Babylon, that are going up from off you.
22 Zan yi umarni, in ji Ubangiji, zan kuma komo da su wannan birni. Za su kuwa yi yaƙi da ita, su ƙwace ta su kuma ƙone ta. Zan kuma mai da garuruwan Yahuda kufai don kada wani ya zauna a can.”
Lo, I am commanding — an affirmation of Jehovah — and have brought them back unto this city, and they have fought against it, and captured it, and burned it with fire, and the cities of Judah I do make a desolation — without inhabitant.'
