< Irmiya 45 >
1 Ga abin da Irmiya annabi ya faɗa wa Baruk ɗan Neriya a shekara ta huɗu ta Yehohiyakim ɗan Yosiya sarkin Yahuda, bayan Baruk ya rubuta maganar da Irmiya ya shibta masa a kan littafi cewa,
The word that Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Baruch the son of Nerijah, when he wrote these words in a book at the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, saying,
2 “Ga abin da Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila, yana ce maka, Baruk.
Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, concerning thee, Baruch:
3 Ka ce, ‘Kaitona! Ubangiji ya ƙara baƙin ciki da wahalata; na gaji da nishe-nishe ban kuma huta ba.’”
Thou didst say, Woe unto me! for Jehovah hath added grief to my sorrow; I am weary with my sighing, and I find no rest.
4 Ubangiji ya ce, “Ka faɗa masa wannan, ‘Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, zan rushe abin da na gina in kuma tumɓuke abin da na dasa, a duk fāɗin ƙasar.
Thus shalt thou say unto him, Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, what I have built do I overthrow, and what I have planted I pluck up, even this whole land.
5 Ya kamata ka nemi manyan abubuwa wa kanka? Kada ka neme su. Gama zan aukar da masifa a kan dukan mutane, in ji Ubangiji, amma duk inda ka tafi zan bar ka ka kuɓutar da ranka.’”
And seekest thou great things for thyself? seek [them] not; for behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith Jehovah; but thy life will I give unto thee for a prey in all places whither thou shalt go.
