Irmiya 35

1 Ga maganar da ta zo wa Irmiya daga wurin Ubangiji a lokacin mulkin Yehohiyakim ɗan Yosiya sarkin Yahuda.

The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh in the days of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,

2 “Ka tafi wurin iyalin Rekabawa ka gayyace su su zo a ɗaya daga cikin ɗakunan da suke gefe a gidan Ubangiji ka kuma ba su ruwan inabi su sha.”

“Go to the family of the Rekabites and speak with them. Then bring them to my house, into one of the rooms there, and give them wine to drink.”

3 Sai na tafi don in kawo Ya’azaniya ɗan Irmiya, ɗan Habazziniya, da’yan’uwansa da kuma dukan’ya’yansa maza, dukan iyalin Rekabawa.

So I took Jaazaniah son of Jeremiah son of Habazziniah and his brothers, all his sons, and all the family of the Rekabites.

4 Na kawo su cikin gidan Ubangiji, a cikin ɗakin’ya’yan Hanan ɗan Igdaliya maza mutumin Allah. Ɗakin ne kusa da ɗakin fadawa, wanda yake bisa na Ma’asehiya ɗan Shallum mai tsaron ƙofa.

I took them to the house of Yahweh, into the rooms of the sons of Hanan son of Igdaliah, the man of God. These rooms were beside the room of the leaders, which was above the room of Maaseiah son of Shallum, the gatekeeper.

5 Sai na ajiye ƙwarya cike da ruwan inabi da waɗansu kwaf a gaban iyalin Rekabawan na kuma ce musu, “Ku sha ruwan inabin.”

Then I placed bowls and cups full of wine in front of the Rekabites and said to them, “Drink some wine.”

6 Amma sai suka amsa suka ce, “Ba ma shan ruwan inabi, domin kakanmu Yehonadab ɗan Rekab ya umarce mu cewa, ‘Ko ku, ko zuriyarku kada ku sha ruwan inabi.

But they said, “We will not drink any wine, for our ancestor, Jonadab son of Rekab, commanded us, 'Do not drink any wine, neither you nor your descendants, forever.

7 Haka kuma ba za ku gina gidaje, ku dasa iri ko ku nome gonakin inabi ba; kada ku kasance da wani daga cikin waɗannan abubuwa, amma dole kullum ku zauna a tentuna. Ta haka za ku yi dogon rai a cikin ƙasar baƙuncinku.’

Also, do not build any houses, sow any seeds, or plant any vineyards; this is not for you. For you must live in tents all your days, so that you might live many days in the land where you are staying as foreigners.'

8 Mun yi biyayya da kome da kakanmu Yehonadab ɗan Rekab ya umarce mu. Mu ko matanmu ko’ya’yanmu maza da mata ba mu taɓa shan ruwan inabi ba

We have obeyed the voice of Jonadab son of Rekab, our ancestor, in all that he commanded us, to never drink wine all of our days, we, our wives, our sons, and our daughters.

9 ba mu kuma gina gidaje mu zauna a ciki ba ko mu yi gonakin inabi, gonaki ko hatsi ba.

We will never build houses to live in, and there will be no vineyard, field, or seed in our possession.

10 Mun yi rayuwarmu a cikin tentuna mun kuma yi biyayya ƙwarai da kowane abin da kakanmu Yehonadab ya umarce mu.

We have lived in tents and we have obeyed and done all that Jonadab our ancestor commanded us.

11 Amma da Nebukadnezzar sarkin Babilon ya kawo wa ƙasan nan hari, sai muka ce, ‘Ku zo, dole mu tafi Urushalima don mu tsira daga Babiloniyawa da kuma sojojin Arameyawa.’ Saboda haka ne muke a Urushalima.”

But when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon attacked the land, we said, 'Come, we must go to Jerusalem to escape from the Chaldean and Aramean armies.' So we are living in Jerusalem.”

12 Sai maganar Ubangiji ta zo wa Irmiya cewa,

Then the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah, saying,

13 “Ga abin da Ubangiji, Maɗaukaki, Allah na Isra’ila, yana cewa ka tafi ka faɗa wa mutanen Yahuda da kuma mutanen Urushalima cewa, ‘Ba za ku koyi darasi ku kuma yi biyayya da maganata ba?’ In ji Ubangiji.

“Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this, 'Go and say to the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, “Will you not receive correction and listen to my words? —this is Yahweh's declaration.

14 ‘Yehonadab ɗan Rekab ya umarci’ya’yansa maza kada su sha ruwan inabi sun kuma kiyaye wannan umarni. Har yă zuwa yau ba sa shan ruwan inabi, domin sun yi biyayya da umarnin kakansu. Amma na yi muku magana sau da sau, duk da haka ba ku yi biyayya ba.

The words of Jonadab son of Rekab that he gave to his sons as a command, not to drink any wine, have been observed to this very day. They have obeyed their ancestor's command. But as for me, I myself have been making persistent proclamations to you, but you do not listen to me.

15 Sau da sau na aika dukan bayina annabawa gare ku. Suka ce, “Kowannenku ya juyo daga mugayen hanyoyinsa ya sabunta ayyukansa; kada yă bi waɗansu alloli don yă bauta musu. Ta haka za ku zauna a cikin ƙasar da na ba ku da kuma kakanninku.” Amma ba ku saurara ba, ba ku kuwa ji ni ba.

I sent out to you all my servants, the prophets. I was persistent in sending them to say, 'Let each person turn from his wicked way and do good deeds; let no one walk any longer after other gods and worship them. Instead, come back to the land that I gave to you and your ancestors.' Yet you will not listen to me or pay attention to me.

16 Zuriyar Yehonadab ɗan Rekab sun yi biyayya da umarnin da kakansu ya ba su, amma waɗannan mutane ba su yi mini biyayya ba.’

For the descendants of Jonadab son of Rekab have observed the commands of their ancestor that he gave them, but this people refuses to listen to me.”'

17 “Saboda haka, ga abin da Ubangiji Allah Maɗaukaki, Allah na Isra’ila, yana cewa, ‘Ku saurara! Zan kawo wa Yahuda da kuma kowane mutumin da yake zama a Urushalima kowace masifar da na ambata a kansu. Na yi musu magana, amma ba su saurara ba; na kira su, amma ba su amsa ba.’”

So Yahweh, God of hosts and God of Israel, says this, 'Look, I am bringing upon Judah and on everyone living in Jerusalem, all the disasters I pronounced against them because I spoke to them, but they did not listen; I called to them, but they did not answer.'”

18 Sai Irmiya ya ce wa iyalin Rekabawa, “Ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki, Allah na Isra’ila, yana cewa, ‘Kun yi biyayya da umarnin kakanku Yehonadab kuka kuma kiyaye dukan umarnansa kuka yi kome bisa ga tsari.’

Jeremiah said to the family of the Rekabites, “Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this: You have listened to the commands of Jonadab your ancestor and have kept them all—you have obeyed all that he commanded you to do—

19 Saboda haka, ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki, Allah na Isra’ila, yana cewa, ‘Yehonadab ɗan Rekab ba zai taɓa rasa mutumin da zai yi mini hidima ba.’”

so Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this, 'There will always be someone descended from Jonadab son of Rekab to serve me.'”
