Irmiya 42

1 Sa’an nan dukan shugabannin sojoji, haɗe da Yohanan ɗan Kareya da Yezaniya ɗan Hoshahiya, da dukan mutane daga ƙarami zuwa babba, suka zo wurin

Then all the commanders of the forces, along with Johanan son of Kareah, Jezaniah son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least to the greatest, approached

2 Irmiya annabi suka ce masa, “Muna roƙonka ka ji kukanmu ka kuma yi addu’a ga Ubangiji Allahnka saboda dukan wannan raguwar mutane. Gama kamar yadda kake gani yanzu, ko da yake dā muna da yawa, yanzu ɗan kaɗan muka rage.

Jeremiah the prophet and said, “May our petition come before you; pray to the LORD your God on behalf of this entire remnant. For few of us remain of the many, as you can see with your own eyes.

3 Ka yi addu’a cewa Ubangiji Allahnka zai faɗa mana inda za mu tafi da kuma abin da za mu yi.”

Pray that the LORD your God will tell us the way we should walk and the thing we should do.”

4 Sai Irmiya ya amsa ya ce, “Na ji ku, tabbatacce zan yi addu’a ga Ubangiji Allahnku yadda kuka roƙa; zan faɗa muku duk abin da Ubangiji ya faɗa ba kuwa zan ɓoye muku kome ba.”

“I have heard you,” replied Jeremiah the prophet. “I will surely pray to the LORD your God as you request, and I will tell you everything that the LORD answers; I will not withhold a word from you.”

5 Sa’an nan suka ce wa Irmiya, “Ubangiji ya zama shaida na gaskiya da kuma aminci a kanmu in ba mu yi bisa da duk abin da Ubangiji Allahnka ya aike ka ka faɗa mana ba.

Then they said to Jeremiah, “May the LORD be a true and faithful witness against us if we do not act upon every word that the LORD your God sends you to tell us.

6 Ko ya gamshe mu ko bai gamshe mu ba, za mu yi biyayya da Ubangiji Allahnmu, ga wanda muke aikan ka, saboda ya zama mana da amfani, gama za mu yi biyayya da Ubangiji Allahnmu.”

Whether it is pleasant or unpleasant, we will obey the voice of the LORD our God to whom we are sending you, so that it may go well with us, for we will obey the voice of the LORD our God!”

7 Bayan kwana goma sai maganar Ubangiji ta zo wa Irmiya.

After ten days the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah,

8 Saboda haka ya kira Yohanan ɗan Kareya da dukan shugabannin sojoji waɗanda suke tare da shi da dukan jama’a daga ƙarami zuwa babba.

and he summoned Johanan son of Kareah, all the commanders of the forces who were with him, and all the people from the least to the greatest.

9 Ya ce musu, “Ga abin da Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila, wanda kuka aike ni gare shi don in gabatar da kukanku, yana cewa,

Jeremiah told them, “Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to present your petition:

10 ‘In kuka zauna a wannan ƙasa, zan gina ku ba zan kuwa rushe ku ba; zan dasa ku ba kuwa zan tumɓuke ku ba, gama ina baƙin ciki a kan masifar da na aukar a kanku.

‘If you will indeed stay in this land, then I will build you up and not tear you down; I will plant you and not uproot you, for I will relent of the disaster I have brought upon you.

11 Kada ku ji tsoron sarkin Babilon, wanda kuke tsoro a yanzu. Kada ku ji tsoronsa, in ji Ubangiji, gama ina tare da ku zan kuma cece ku daga hannuwansa.

Do not be afraid of the king of Babylon, whom you now fear; do not be afraid of him, declares the LORD, for I am with you to save you and deliver you from him.

12 Zan nuna muku jinƙai don yă nuna muku jinƙai ya kuma maido da ku ƙasarku.’

And I will show you compassion, and he will have compassion on you and restore you to your own land.’

13 “Amma fa, in kuka ce, ‘Ba za mu zauna a wannan ƙasa ba,’ ta haka kuka kuma nuna rashin biyayya ga Ubangiji Allahnku,

But if you say, ‘We will not stay in this land,’ and you thus disobey the voice of the LORD your God,

14 in kuma kuka ce, ‘A’a, za mu tafi mu zauna a Masar, inda ba za mu ga yaƙi ko mu ji ƙarar ƙaho ko mu ji yunwa ba,’

and if you say, ‘No, but we will go to the land of Egypt and live there, where we will not see war or hear the sound of the ram’s horn or hunger for bread,’

15 to, ku ji maganar Ubangiji, ya raguwar Yahuda. Ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki, Allah na Isra’ila, yana cewa, ‘In kun ƙudura ku tafi Masar kuka kuma tafi kun zauna a can,

then hear the word of the LORD, O remnant of Judah! This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘If you are determined to go to Egypt and reside there,

16 takobin da kuke tsoro zai same ku a can, kuma yunwar da kuke tsoro za tă bi ku zuwa Masar, a can kuwa za ku mutu.

then the sword you fear will overtake you there, and the famine you dread will follow on your heels into Egypt, and you will die there.

17 Tabbatacce, duk waɗanda suka ƙudura suka tafi Masar su zauna a can za su mutu ta wurin takobi, yunwa da annoba; ba ko ɗayansu zai tsira ko ya kuɓuta wa masifar da zan aukar a kansu.’

So all who resolve to go to Egypt to reside there will die by sword and famine and plague. Not one of them will survive or escape the disaster I will bring upon them.’

18 Ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki, Allah na Isra’ila, yana cewa, ‘Kamar yadda na kwararo fushina da hasalata a kan mazaunan Urushalima, haka kuma zan kwararo fushina a kanku sa’ad da kuka tafi Masar. Za ku zama abin la’ana da abin tsoro, abin ƙyama da abin ba’a; ba za ku ƙara ganin wannan wuri ba.’

For this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘Just as My anger and wrath were poured out on the residents of Jerusalem, so will My wrath be poured out on you if you go to Egypt. You will become an object of cursing and horror, of vilification and disgrace, and you will never see this place again.’

19 “Ya ku raguwar Yahuda, Ubangiji ya ce muku, ‘Kada ku je Masar.’ Ku tabbatar da wannan. Na gargaɗe ku yau

The LORD has told you, O remnant of Judah, ‘Do not go to Egypt.’ Know for sure that I have warned you today!

20 cewa in kun yi kuskure sa’ad da kuka aike ni wurin Ubangiji Allahnku kuka kuma ce, ‘Yi mana addu’a ga Ubangiji Allahnmu; ka faɗa mana duk abin da ya faɗa za mu kuwa aikata.’

For you have deceived yourselves by sending me to the LORD your God, saying, ‘Pray to the LORD our God on our behalf, and as for all that the LORD our God says, tell it to us and we will do it.’

21 Na faɗa muku yau, amma har yanzu ba ku yi biyayya ga Ubangiji Allahnku cikin dukan abin da ya aiko ni in faɗa muku ba.

For I have told you today, but you have not obeyed the voice of the LORD your God in all He has sent me to tell you.

22 Saboda haka yanzu, ku tabbatar da wannan. Za ku mutu ta wurin takobi, yunwa da annoba a wurin da kuke so ku tafi ku zauna.”

Now therefore, know for sure that by sword and famine and plague you will die in the place where you desire to go to reside.”
