Irmiya 37
1 Nebukadnezzar sarkin Babilon ya naɗa Zedekiya ɗan Yosiya sarkin Yahuda; ya yi mulki a madadin Yehohiyacin ɗan Yehohiyakim.
Now King Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, reigned instead of Coniah, the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, made king in the land of Judah.
2 Shi da masu yin masa hidima da mutanen ƙasar ba su kula da maganar da Ubangiji ya yi ta wurin Irmiya annabi ba.
But neither he nor his servants nor the people of the land regarded the words of Jehovah, which he spake by the prophet Jeremiah.
3 Sai sarki Zedekiya ya aiki Yehukal ɗan Shelemiya tare da firist nan Zefaniya ɗan Ma’asehiya da wannan saƙo cewa, “Ina roƙonka ka yi addu’a ga Ubangiji Allahnmu saboda mu.”
And Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal, the son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah, the son of Maaseiah the priest, to Jeremiah the prophet, saying, “Pray now to Jehovah our God for us.”
4 To, fa, Irmiya ya sami’yancin kai da kawowa a cikin mutane, gama ba a riga an sa shi a kurkuku ba.
Now Jeremiah came in and went out among the people, for they had not cast him into prison.
5 Sojojin Fir’auna suka fita daga Masar, sa’ad da Babiloniyawa waɗanda suke ƙawanya wa Urushalima suka ji labari game da su, sai suka janye daga Urushalima.
And Pharaoh's army had come forth out of Egypt; and the Chaldaeans, who were besieging Jerusalem, having heard tidings of them, had departed from Jerusalem.
6 Sai maganar Ubangiji ta zo wa Irmiya annabi cewa,
Then came the word of Jehovah to Jeremiah the prophet, saying,
7 “Ga abin da Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila, yana cewa ka faɗa wa sarkin Yahuda, wanda ya aika a neme ni cewa, ‘Sojojin Fir’aunan da suka fito su taimake ka, za su koma ƙasarsu, Masar.
Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel: Thus shall ye say to the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of me: Behold, the army of Pharaoh, which is come forth to help you, shall return to Egypt, into their own land.
8 Sa’an nan Babiloniyawa za su koma su yaƙi wannan birni su ci ta su kuma ƙone shi.’
And the Chaldaeans shall come again, and fight against this city, and take it, and burn it with fire.
9 “Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, kada ku ruɗe kanku, kuna tsammani, ‘Tabbatacce Babiloniyawa sun bar mu.’ Ba za su bari ba!
Thus saith Jehovah: Deceive not yourselves, saying, “The Chaldaeans shall surely depart from us”; for they shall not depart.
10 Ko da a ce za ku ci dukan sojojin Babiloniyawan da suke yaƙi da ku har raunana ne kawai aka bari a tentunansu, za su fito su ƙone wannan birni.”
For though ye had smitten the whole army of the Chaldaeans that fight against you, and there remained only wounded men among them, each one in his tent, yet should they rise up and burn this city with fire.
11 Bayan sojojin Babiloniyawa suka janye daga Urushalima saboda sojojin Fir’auna,
And it came to pass, when the army of the Chaldaeans had marched away from Jerusalem because of the army of Pharaoh,
12 sai Irmiya ya bar birnin don yă je yankin Benyamin ya sami rabon mallaka a cikin mutane a can.
that Jeremiah was going forth from Jerusalem, to go into the land of Benjamin, to receive thence his inheritance among the people.
13 Amma sa’ad da ya kai Ƙofar Benyamin, sai hafsa mai tsaro, wanda ake kira Iriya ɗan Shelemiya, ɗan Hananiya, ya kama shi ya kuma ce, “Kana gudu daga Babiloniyawa ne!”
And when he was in the gate of Benjamin, a captain of the ward was there, whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah; and he seized Jeremiah the prophet, saying, “Thou art going over to the Chaldaeans.”
14 Sai Irmiya ya ce, “Ba gaskiya ba ce, ba na gudu daga Babiloniyawa.” Amma Iriya bai saurare shi ba; a maimako, ya kama Irmiya ya kawo shi wurin fadawa.
And Jeremiah said, “It is false; I am not going over to the Chaldaeans.” But he hearkened not to him; so Irijah took Jeremiah and brought him to the princes.
15 Suka yi fushi da Irmiya suka sa aka yi masa dūka aka kuma jefa shi cikin kurkuku a gidan Yonatan magatakarda, gama an mai da gidansa ya zama kurkuku.
And the princes were enraged against Jeremiah, and smote him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe; for they had made that a prison.
16 Aka sa Irmiya a can cikin kurkuku, inda ya kasance kwanaki masu yawa.
And when Jeremiah had gone into the dungeon, and into the cells, and had remained there a long time,
17 Sa’an nan Sarki Zedekiya ya aika a kawo shi aka kuma kawo shi fada, inda ya tambaye shi a kaɗaice ya ce, “Akwai wata magana daga Ubangiji?” Irmiya ya amsa ya ce, “I, za a ba da kai ga sarkin Babilon.”
then Zedekiah the king sent and took him out; and the king asked him in his house privately, and said, “Hast thou any word from Jehovah?” And Jeremiah said, “I have.” And he said, “Into the hand of the king of Babylon shalt thou be delivered.”
18 Sai Irmiya ya ce wa Sarki Zedekiya, “Wane laifi na yi maka ko fadawanka ko kuwa wannan mutane, da ka sa aka jefa ni cikin kurkuku?
And Jeremiah said to King Zedekiah, What offence have I committed against thee, or against thy servants, or against this people, that ye have put me in prison?
19 Ina annabawanka waɗanda suka yi maka annabci suna cewa, ‘Sarkin Babilon ba zai yaƙe ka ko wannan ƙasa ba’?
And where are your prophets, who prophesied to you, saying, “The king of Babylon shall not come against you, nor against this land?”
20 Amma yanzu, ranka yă daɗe, sarkina, ka saurara. Bari in kawo kukata a gabanka. Kada ka mai da ni gidan Yonatan magatakarda, in ba haka zan mutu a can.”
But now hear, I pray thee, my lord the king! let my supplication, I pray thee, be accepted before thee, and cause me not to return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there!
21 Sarki Zedekiya ya yi umarni a ajiye Irmiya a sansanin matsara a kuma ba shi burodi daga titin masu gashin burodi kowace rana sai duka burodi a birnin ya ƙare. Saboda haka Irmiya ya zauna a sansanin matsara.
Then Zedekiah the king commanded that they should commit Jeremiah into the court of the prison, and that they should give him daily a piece of bread out of the bakers' street, until all the bread in the city should be consumed. And Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.
