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 forces, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least even 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 said to Jeremiah the prophet, "Please let our petition be presented before you, and pray for us to Jehovah your God, even for all this remnant; for we are left but a few of many, as your eyes do see us:

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

that Jehovah your God may show us the way in which we should walk, and the thing that 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.”

Then Jeremiah the prophet said to them, "I have heard you; look, I will pray to Jehovah your God according to your words; and it shall happen that whatever thing Jehovah shall answer you, I will declare it to you; I will keep nothing back 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, "Jehovah be a true and faithful witness among us, if we do not do according to all the word with which Jehovah your God shall send you 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 whether it be evil, we will obey the voice of Jehovah our God, to whom we send you; that it may be well with us, when we obey the voice of Jehovah our God."

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

It happened after ten days, that the word of Jehovah 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.

Then called he Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were with him, and all the people from the least even 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 said to them, "Thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to present your petition 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 still live in this land, then will I build you, and not pull you down, and I will plant you, and not pluck you up; for I grieve over the distress that I have brought on 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, of whom you are afraid; do not be afraid of him, says Jehovah: 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.’

I will grant you mercy, that he may have mercy on you, and cause you to return 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 dwell in this land'; so that you do not obey the voice of Jehovah 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,’

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 have hunger of bread; and there will we 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,

now therefore hear the word of Jehovah, O remnant of Judah: Thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, 'If you indeed set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to live 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 it shall happen, that the sword, which you fear, shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt; and the famine, about which you are afraid, shall follow close behind you there 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.’

So shall it be with all the men who set their faces to go into Egypt to live there: they shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence; and none of them shall remain or escape from the evil that I will bring on 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 says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: 'As my anger and my wrath has been poured forth on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so shall my wrath be poured forth on you, when you shall enter into Egypt; and you shall be an object of horror, 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

Jehovah has spoken concerning you, remnant of Judah, 'Do not go into Egypt': know certainly that I have testified to 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 dealt deceitfully against your own souls; for you sent me to Jehovah your God, saying, 'Pray for us to Jehovah our God; and according to all that Jehovah our God shall say, so declare 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.

and I have this day declared it to you; but you have not obeyed the voice of Jehovah your God in anything for which he has 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, by the famine, and by the pestilence, in the place where you desire to go to live there."
