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 captains of the warriors, and Johanan the son of Caree, and Jezonias the son of Osaias, and the rest of the people from the least to the greatest came near:

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.

And they said to Jeremias the prophet: Let our supplication fall before thee: and pray thou for us to the Lord thy God for all this remnant, for we are left but a few of many, as thy eyes do behold us.

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

And let the Lord thy God shew us the way by which we may walk, and the thing that we must 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.”

And Jeremias the prophet said to them: I have heard you: behold I will pray to the Lord your God according to your words: and whatsoever thing he shall answer me, I will declare it to you: and I will hide nothing 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.

And they said to Jeremias: The Lord be witness between us of truth and faithfulness, if we do not according to every thing for which the Lord thy God shall send thee to 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 be good or evil, we will obey the voice of the Lord our God, to whom me send thee: that it may be well with us when we shall hearken to the voice of the Lord our God.

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

Now after ten days, the word of the Lord came to Jeremias.

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 called Johanan the son of Caree, and all the captains of the fighting men that 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,

And he said to them: Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel, to whom you sent me, to present your supplications before him:

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 be quiet and remain in this land, I will build you up, and not pull you down: I will plane you, and not pluck you up: for now I am appeased for the evil that I have done to 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.

Fear not because of the king of Babylon, of whom you are greatly afraid: fear him not, saith the Lord: for I am with you, to save you, and to deliver you from his hand.

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

And I will shew mercies to you, and will take pity on you, and will cause you to dwell in 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 dwell in this land, neither will we hearken to the voice of the Lord our 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,’

Saying: No, but we will go into the land of Egypt: where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor suffer hunger: and there we will dwell.

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,

For this now hear the word of the Lord, ye remnant of Juda: Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: If you set your faces to go into Egypt, and enter in to dwell 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.

The sword which you fear, shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt: and the famine, whereof you are afraid, shall cleave to you in Egypt, and there you shall die.

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.’

And all the men that set their faces to go into Egypt, to dwell there, shall die by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence: none of them shall remain, nor escape from the face of the evil that 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 thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: As my anger and my indignation hath been kindled against the inhabitants of Jerusalem: so shall my indignation be kindled against you, when you shall enter into Egypt, and you shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach: and you shall see this place no more.

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

This is the word of the Lord concerning you, O ye remnant of Juda: Go ye not into Egypt: know certainly that I have adjured you this day.

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 your own souls: for you sent me to the Lord our God, saying: Pray for us to the Lord our God, and according to all that the Lord our God shall say to thee, so declare unto 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.

And now I have declared it to you this day, and; you have not obeyed the voice of the Lord your God, with regard to all the things for which he hath sent me to 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 certainly that you shall die by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence in the place to which you desire to go to dwell there.
