Irmiya 41
1 A wata na goma sha bakwai sai Ishmayel ɗan Netaniya, ɗan Elishama, wanda yake mai jinin sarauta yake kuma ɗaya daga cikin hafsoshin sarki, ya zo tare da mutum goma wurin Gedaliya ɗan Ahikam a Mizfa. Yayinda suke ci tare a can,
The word that came to Jeremias from the Lord (now Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the country of his dominion, were warring against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Juda, ) saying,
2 sai Ishmayel ɗan Netaniya da mutum goma waɗanda suke tare da shi suka kashe Gedaliya ɗan Ahikam, ɗan Shafan, da takobi, suka kashe wannan da sarkin Babilon ya naɗa a matsayin gwamna a kan ƙasar.
Thus has the Lord said; Go to Sedekias king of Juda, and thou shalt say to him, Thus has the Lord said, This city shall certainly be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it, and shall burn it with fire:
3 Ishmayel ya kuma kashe dukan Yahudawan da suke tare da Gedaliya a Mizfa, haka ma ya yi da sojojin Babiloniyawan da suke can.
and thou shalt not escape out of his hand, but shalt certainly be taken, and shalt be given into his hands; and thine eyes shall see his eyes, and thou shalt enter into Babylon.
4 Kashegari bayan an kashe Gedaliya, kafin wani ya san abin da ya faru,
But hear the word of the Lord, O Sedekias king of Juda; Thus saith the Lord,
5 sai ga mutane tamanin daga Shekem, Shilo da Samariya suka zo da gemunsu a aske, da tufafinsu a kece, da jikunansu a tsage, suka kawo hadayun gari da turare tare da su a gidan Ubangiji.
Thou shalt die in peace: and as they wept for thy fathers that reigned before thee, they shall weep also for thee, [saying], Ah lord! and they shall lament for thee down to the grave: for I have spoken the word, said the Lord.
6 Ishmayel ɗan Netaniya ya fito daga Mizfa don yă sadu da su. Sa’ad da ya sadu da su, sai ya ce, “Ku zo wurin Gedaliya ɗan Ahikam.”
And Jeremias spoke to king Sedekias all these words in Jerusalem.
7 Da suka shiga cikin birni, sai Ishmayel ɗan Netaniya da mutanen da suke tare da shi suka karkashe su suka zubar a rijiya.
And the host of the king of Babylon warred against Jerusalem, and against the cities of Juda, and against Lachis, and against Azeca: for these strong cities were left among the cities of Juda.
8 Amma goma daga cikinsu suka ce wa Ishmayel, “Kada ka kashe mu, muna da alkama da sha’ir, mai da kuma zuma, a ɓoye a gona.” Saboda haka ka bar mu kada ka kashe mu tare da sauran.
The word that came from the Lord to Jeremias, after king Sedekias had concluded a covenant with the people, to proclaim a release;
9 To, rijiyar da ya zubar da gawawwakin mutanen da ya kashe tare da ta Gedaliya ita ce wadda Sarki Asa ya haƙa a matsayin kāriya saboda Ba’asha sarkin Isra’ila. Ishmayel ɗan Netaniya ya cika ta da gawawwaki.
That every one should set at liberty his servant, and every one has handmaid, the Hebrew man and Hebrew woman, that no man of Juda should be a bondman.
10 Ishmayel ya mai da dukan sauran mutanen da suke Mizfa bayi’ya’yan sarki mata tare da dukan sauran da aka bari a can, waɗanda Nebuzaradan shugaban matsaran sarki ya bari a hannun Gedaliya ɗan Ahikam. Ishmayel ɗan Netaniya ya kwashe su ganima, ya tashi don yă haye zuwa wurin Ammonawa.
Then all the nobles, and all the people who had entered into the covenant, [engaging] to set free every one his man-servant, and every one his maid, turned,
11 Sa’ad da Yohanan ɗan Kareya da dukan shugabannin sojojin da suke tare da shi suka ji dukan laifofin da Ishmayel ɗan Netaniya ya aikata,
and gave them over to be men-servants and maid-servants.
12 sai suka kwashe dukan mutanensu suka tafi don su yaƙi Ishmayel ɗan Netaniya. Suka iske shi kusa da babban tafki a Gibeyon.
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, saying,
13 Sa’ad da dukan mutanen da suke tare da Ishmayel suka ga Yohanan ɗan Kareya da shugabannin sojojin da suke tare da shi, sai suka yi farin ciki.
Thus saith the Lord; I made a covenant with your fathers in the day wherein I took them out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, saying,
14 Dukan mutanen da Ishmayel ya kame a Mizfa suka juya, suka tafi wurin Yohanan ɗan Kareya.
When six years are accomplished, thou shalt set free thy brother the Hebrew, who shall be sold to thee: for he shall serve thee six years, and [then] thou shalt let him go free: but they hearkened not to me, and inclined not their ear.
15 Amma Ishmayel ɗan Netaniya da mutanensa takwas suka tsere daga Yohanan suka gudu zuwa wurin Ammonawa.
And this day they turned to do that which was right in my sight, to proclaim every one the release of his neighbour; and they had concluded a covenant before me, in the house whereon my name is called.
16 Sai Yohanan ɗan Kareya da dukan shugabannin sojojin da suke tare da shi suka bi da dukan waɗanda suka tsira daga Mizfa waɗanda ya karɓe daga Ishmayel ɗan Netaniya bayan ya kashe Gedaliya ɗan Ahikam, wato, sojoji, mata, yara da fadawan da ya kawo daga Gibeyon
But ye turned and profaned my name, to bring back every one his servant, and every one his handmaid, whom ye had sent forth free [and] at their own disposal, to be to you men-servants and maid-servants.
17 Sai suka ci gaba, suka dakata a Gerut Kimham kusa da Betlehem a kan hanyarsu zuwa Masar
Therefore thus said the Lord; Ye have not hearkened to me, to proclaim a release every one to his neighbour: behold, I proclaim a release to you, to the sword, and to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will give you up to dispersion [among] all the kingdoms of the earth.
18 don su kuɓuce wa Babiloniyawa. Sun ji tsoronsu domin Ishmayel ɗan Netaniya ya kashe Gedaliya ɗan Ahikam, wanda sarkin Babilon ya naɗa gwamna a kan ƙasar.
And I will give the men that have transgressed my covenant, who have not kept my covenant, which they made before me, the calf which they prepared to sacrifice with it,
the princes of Juda, and the men in power, and the priests, and the people;
I will even give them to their enemies, and their carcases shall be food for the birds of the sky and for the wild beasts of the earth.
And I will give Sedekias king of Judea, and their princes, into the hands of their enemies, and the host of the king of Babylon [shall come upon] them that run away from them.
Behold, I [will] give command, saith the Lord, and will bring them back to this land; and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire, and the cities of Juda; and I will make them desolate without inhabitants.
