Irmiya 36
1 A shekara ta huɗu ta Yehohiyakim ɗan Yosiya sarkin Yahuda, wannan magana ta zo wa Irmiya daga wurin Ubangiji cewa,
When Jehoiakim had been the king of Judah for almost four years, Yahweh gave this message to me:
2 “Ka ɗauki littafi ka rubuta dukan maganganun da na yi maka game da Isra’ila, Yahuda da kuma dukan sauran al’ummai daga lokacin da na fara maka magana a mulkin Yosiya har zuwa yanzu.
“Get a scroll, and write on it the messages that I have given to you regarding Israel, Judah, and the other nations. Write all of the messages, starting from the time that I gave you the first message, when Josiah was the king, up until now.
3 Wataƙila sa’ad da mutanen Yahuda suka ji game da kowace masifar da na shirya in auka musu, kowa ya juya daga muguwar hanyarsa; sa’an nan in gafarta musu muguntarsu da kuma zunubinsu.”
When the people of Judah hear [again] about all the disasters that I plan to cause them to experience, perhaps each one of them will repent. If they do that, I will be able to forgive them for the wrong/evil things that they have done.”
4 Saboda haka Irmiya ya kira Baruk ɗan Neriya, yayinda Irmiya yake fadar dukan waɗannan maganganun da Ubangiji ya faɗa masa, Baruk ya rubuta su a littafin.
[So] I summoned Baruch, the son of Neraiah. Then, as I dictated to him all the messages that Yahweh had spoken to me, he wrote them on a scroll.
5 Sai Irmiya ya ce wa Baruk, “An hana ni, ba zan tafi haikalin Ubangiji ba.
Then I said to him, “I am not allowed to [leave here and] go to the temple.
6 Saboda haka ka tafi gidan Ubangiji a ranar azumi ka karanta wa mutane daga littafin maganar Ubangiji da na shibta maka ka rubuta. Ka karanta su ga dukan mutanen Yahuda waɗanda suka zo daga garuruwansu.
So, you go [to the temple] on the [next] day when the people are (fasting/abstaining from food), and read to them the messages from Yahweh that you wrote while I dictated them to you. Read them [aloud] to all the people [who are there, including] the people of Judah who come [there] from their towns.
7 Wataƙila za su kawo kukansu a gaban Ubangiji, kowanne kuma ya juya daga muguwar hanyarsa, gama fushi da hasalar da Ubangiji ya furta a kan mutanen nan yana da girma.”
Perhaps they will turn from their evil behavior and request Yahweh [to act mercifully toward them]. [They must do that, ] because Yahweh is very angry with them and has threatened to punish them severely.”
8 Sai Baruk ɗan Neriya ya yi dukan abin da annabi Irmiya ya ce ya yi; a haikalin Ubangiji kuwa ya karanta maganar Ubangiji daga littafin
Baruch did what I told him to do. He [went to the temple and] read [to the people] all those messages from Yahweh.
9 A watan tara na shekara ta biyar ta Yehohiyakim ɗan Yosiya sarkin Yahuda, an yi shela a yi azumi a gaban Ubangiji ga dukan mutanen Urushalima da waɗanda suka zo daga garuruwan Yahuda.
He did it in December on a day when their leaders had proclaimed that all the people in Jerusalem and the people who had come there from [other] towns in Judah should fast to [please/honor] Yahweh. [It was when] Jehoiakim had been king for almost five years.
10 Daga ɗakin Gemariya ɗan Shafan magatakarda, wanda yake a fili na bisa a mashigin Sabuwar Ƙofar haikali, Baruk ya karanta wa dukan mutane a haikalin Ubangiji maganar Irmiya daga littafin.
Baruch read to all the people the messages [that he had written] on the scroll. [He read them while he was] in the temple, in the room where Gemariah stayed. He was the son of Shaphan, [who had previously been the king’s] secretary. That room was close to the upper courtyard [of the temple], near the entrance to the temple that is [called] the New Gate.
11 Sa’ad da Mikahiya ɗan Gemariya, ɗan Shafan, ya ji dukan maganar Ubangiji daga littafin,
When Micaiah, who was the son of Gemariah and grandson of Shaphan, heard those messages from Yahweh,
12 sai ya sauka zuwa ɗakin magatakarda a fada, inda dukan fadawa suke zaune, Elishama magatakarda, Delahiya ɗan Shemahiya, Elnatan ɗan Akbor, Gemariya ɗan Shafan, Zedekiya ɗan Hananiya, da dukan sauran fadawa.
he went down to the secretary’s room in the palace, where all the king’s officials were meeting. Elishama the [king’s] secretary [was there]. Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, Elnathan the son of Acbor, Gemariah, Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the [other] officials [of the king were also there].
13 Bayan Mikahiya ya faɗa musu kome da ya ji Baruk ya karanta wa mutane daga littafin,
When Micaiah told them about the messages that Baruch had been reading to the people,
14 sai dukan fadawan suka aiki Yehudi ɗan Netaniya, ɗan Shelemiya, ɗan Kushi, ya ce wa Baruk, “Ka zo tare da littafin da ka karanta wa mutane.” Saboda haka Baruk ɗan Neriya ya tafi wurinsu tare da littafin a hannunsa.
the officials sent Jehudi, who was the son of Nethaniah and grandson of Shelemiah and great-grandson of Cushi, to tell Baruch to come [and read the messages to them, also]. So Baruch took the scroll and went to them.
15 Suka ce masa, “Zauna, ka karanta mana littafin.” Sai Baruk ya karanta musu littafin.
They said to him, “Please sit down and read it [to us].” So Baruch did what they requested.
16 Da suka ji dukan maganar, sai suka dubi juna a firgice suka ce wa Baruk, “Dole mu sanar da dukan maganan nan ga sarki.”
After they had heard all the messages, they were afraid. They looked at each other and [then] they said, “We must tell these messages to the king!”
17 Sa’an nan suka ce wa Baruk, “Faɗa mana yadda ka yi ka rubuta dukan wannan. Irmiya ne ya yi maka shibtar ta?”
Then they asked Baruch, “How did you get this scroll? Did Jeremiah dictate to you all the messages on this scroll?”
18 Baruk ya amsa ya ce, “I, shi ne ya faɗa mini dukan wannan magana, na kuwa rubuta su a takarda.”
Baruch replied, “[Yes], Jeremiah dictated them to me, and I wrote them with ink on this scroll.”
19 Sa’an nan fadawan suka ce wa Baruk, “Kai da Irmiya ku je ku ɓuya. Kada ku bari wani ya san inda kuke.”
Then the officials told Baruch, “You and Jeremiah must both hide. Do not tell anyone where you are!”
20 Bayan da suka ajiye littafin a ɗakin Elishama magatakarda, sai suka tafi wurin sarki a fili suka sanar da shi kome.
They put the scroll in the room of Elishama, the king’s secretary. Then they went to the king, who was in the courtyard, and reported to him everything [that Baruch had read to them].
21 Sai sarki ya aiki Yehudi ya kawo littafin daga ɗakin Elishama magatakarda ya kuma karanta wa sarki da kuma dukan fadawan da suke tsaye kusa da shi.
Then the king sent Jehudi to get the scroll. Jehudi brought it from Elishama’s room and read it to the king, while all the [king’s] officials were standing there.
22 A watan tara ne sarki kuwa yana zaune a gidansa na rani, wuta kuwa tana ci a kasko a gabansa.
It was in the cold season, and the king was in a part of the palace where he stayed when it was cold. He was sitting in front of a fire [to keep/be warm].
23 Duk sa’ad da Yehudi ya karanta sashi uku ko huɗu na littafin, sai sarkin ya sa wuƙa ya yanke su, ya zuba a wutar da take ci a kasko, da haka ya ƙone dukan littafin.
Each time Jehudi finished reading three or four columns, the king cut off that section of the scroll with a knife and threw it into the fire. He did that, section by section, until the entire scroll was burned up.
24 Sai sarki da dukan masu yin masa hidima waɗanda suke jin maganan nan ba su firgita ba, balle su keta rigunansu.
Neither the king nor his officials showed that they were afraid [that God would punish them]. They did not tear their clothes [to show that they were sorry for what they had done].
25 Ko da yake Elnatan, Delahiya da Gemariya sun roƙi sarki kada yă ƙone littafin, bai saurare su ba.
Elnathan, Delaiah, and Gemariah pleaded with the king not to burn the scroll, but he did not pay any attention.
26 A maimakon haka, sai sarki ya umarci Yerameyel ɗan sarki, Serahiya ɗan Azriyel da Shelemiya ɗan Abdeyel su kama Baruk marubuci da Irmiya annabi. Amma Ubangiji ya ɓoye su.
Then the king commanded his son Jerahmeel, Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel to arrest Baruch and me. But [they were unable to do that because] Yahweh had hidden us.
27 Bayan sarki ya ƙone littafin da ya ƙunshi maganar da Baruk ya rubuta daga shibtar Irmiya, sai maganar Ubangiji ta zo wa Irmiya cewa,
After the king had burned the scroll on which were written the messages that I had dictated to Baruch, Yahweh said this to me:
28 “Ka ɗauki wani littafi ka rubuta a kansa dukan maganar da littafi na farin ya ƙunsa, wanda Yehohiyakim sarkin Yahuda ya ƙone.
“Get another scroll, and [tell Baruch to] write everything again, the same messages that he had written on the scroll that the king burned.
29 Ka kuma faɗa wa Yehohiyakim sarkin Yahuda cewa, ‘Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, ka ƙone wancan littafin ka kuma ce, “Don me ka rubuta a cikinsa, cewa lalle sarkin Babilon zai zo ya hallaka wannan ƙasa, zai kashe mutum duk da dabba?”
[Then go to] the king and say to him, ‘Yahweh says this: “You burned the scroll [because you did not like] what was written on it, that the king of Babylon would surely [RHQ] come [with his army] and destroy this land and get rid of all the people and the animals.
30 Saboda haka, ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa game da Yehohiyakim sarkin Yahuda. Ba zai kasance da wani wanda zai zauna a kan gadon sarautar Dawuda ba; za a jefar da gawarsa ta sha zafi da rana da dare kuma ta sha matsanancin sanyi.
Now this is what [I], Yahweh, say about [you], Jehoiakim: 'None of your descendants will rule this kingdom [MTY]. Your corpse will be thrown out [on the ground and not be buried]; it will be under the hot [sun] during the days and [struck by] frost during the nights.
31 Zan hukunta shi da kuma’ya’yansa da masu hidimarsa saboda muguntarsu; zan kawo kowace masifar da na furta a kansu da kuma waɗanda suke zama a Urushalima da na Yahuda, domin sun ƙi su saurara.’”
I will punish you and your family and your officials for their sins. And I will cause the people of Jerusalem and the people of the [other] towns in Judah to experience all the disasters that I promised, because you all would not pay attention [to what I said]!'” '”
32 Sai Irmiya ta ɗauko wani littafi ya ba wa Baruk ɗan Neriya marubuci, kuma yayinda Irmiya yake shibtawa, Baruk ya rubuta a littafin dukan maganar da take a littafin da Yehohiyakim sarkin Yahuda ya ƙone. Ya kuma ƙara ire-iren maganganun nan a kansu.
So I took another scroll, and again I dictated the messages to Baruch. He wrote everything that had been written on the [other] scroll, the one that King Jehoiakim had burned in the fire. [But this time, I] added more messages.
