Irmiya 5
1 “Ku yi ta kai da kawowa a titunan Urushalima, ku dudduba ko’ina ku kuma lura, ku bincika cikin dandalinta. Ko za ku sami mutum guda wanda yake aikata adalci wanda yake kuma son bin gaskiya, sai in gafarta wa wannan birni.
Run you about in the streets of Jerusalem, and see, and know, and seek in her broad places, if you can find [one], if there is any one that does judgement, and seeks faithfulness; and I will pardon them, says the Lord.
2 Ko da yake suna cewa, ‘Muddin Ubangiji yana raye,’ duk da haka suna rantsuwar ƙarya.”
The Lord lives, they say; do they not therefore swear falsely?
3 Ya Ubangiji, idanunka ba sa ganin gaskiya? Ka buge su, amma ba su ji zafi ba; ka ragargaza su, amma suka ƙi su gyara. Fuskarsu ta ƙeƙashe fiye da dutse suka ƙi su tuba.
O Lord, your eyes are upon faithfulness: you have scourged them, but they have not grieved; you have consumed them; but they would not receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; and they would not return.
4 Na yi tunani, “Waɗannan ne kawai matalauta; su wawaye ne, gama ba su san hanyar Ubangiji ba, ko abubuwan da Allahnsu yake bukata ba.
Then I said, It may be they are poor; for they are weak, for they know not the way of the Lord, or the judgement of God.
5 Saboda haka zan tafi wurin shugabanni in yi musu magana; tabbatacce sun san hanyar Ubangiji, da abubuwan da Allahnsu yake bukata.” Amma da nufi guda su ma suka karye karkiyar suka tsintsinke sarƙoƙin.
I will go to the rich men, and will speak to them; for they have known the way of the Lord, and the judgement of God: but, behold, with one consent they have broken the yoke, they have burst the bonds.
6 Saboda haka zaki daga kurmi zai fāɗa musu, kyarkeci kuma daga hamada zai cinye su, damisa za tă yi musu ƙawanya kusa da garuruwansu yă yayyage duk wanda ya kuskura ya fita, gama tawayensu da girma yake jan bayansu kuma yana da yawa.
Therefore has a lion out of the forest struck them, and a wolf has destroyed them even to [their] houses, and a leopard has watched against their cities: all that go forth from them shall be hunted: for they have multiplied their ungodliness, they have strengthened themselves in their revoltings.
7 “Me zai sa in gafarta muku?’Ya’yanku sun yashe ni sun yi rantsuwa da allolin da ba alloli ba ne. Na biya musu dukan bukatunsu, duk da haka suka yi zina suka tattaru a gidajen karuwai.
In what [way] shall I forgive you for these things? Your sons have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: and I fed them to the full, and they committed adultery, and lodged in harlots' houses.
8 An ciyar da su sosai, kamar ƙosassun ingarmu, masu jaraba, kowanne yana haniniya, yana neman matar maƙwabcinsa.
They became as wanton horses: they neighed each one after his neighbour's wife.
9 Ba zan hukunta su saboda wannan ba?” In ji Ubangiji. “Bai kamata in yi ramuwa a kan irin al’ummar nan ba?
Shall I not visit for these things? says the Lord: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this.
10 “Ku ratsa cikin gonakin inabinta ku cinye su, amma kada ku hallaka su gaba ɗaya. Ku kakkaɓe rassanta, gama waɗannan mutane ba na Ubangiji ba ne.
Go up upon her battlements, and break [them] down; but make not a full end: leave her buttresses: for they are the Lord's.
11 Gidan Isra’ila da gidan Yahuda sun zama marasa aminci gaba ɗaya gare ni” in ji Ubangiji.
For the house of Israel have indeed dealt treacherously against me, says the Lord: the house of Juda also
12 Sun yi ƙarya a kan Ubangiji; sun ce, “Ba zai yi kome ba! Ba wata masifar da za tă same mu; ba za mu taɓa ganin takobi ko yunwa ba.
have lied to their Lord, and they have said, These things are not so; no evils shall come upon us; and we shall not see sword or famine.
13 Annabawa holoƙo ne kawai maganar kuwa ba ta cikinsu; saboda haka bari abin da suke faɗi ya koma kansu.”
Our prophets became wind, and the word of the Lord was not in them.
14 Saboda haka ga abin Ubangiji Allah Maɗaukaki yana cewa, “Domin mutanen sun yi waɗannan maganganu, zan mai da maganata a bakinku wuta waɗannan mutane kuwa su zama itacen da za tă ci.
Therefore thus says the Lord Almighty, Because you have spoken this word, behold, I have made my words in your mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.
15 Ya gidan Isra’ila,” in ji Ubangiji, “Ina kawo al’umma daga nesa a kanku al’umma ce ta tun dā mai ƙarfin hali, mutane ne da ba ku san harshensu ba, waɗanda ba za ku fahimci abin da suke faɗa ba.
Behold, I [will] bring upon you a nation from far, O house of Israel, says the Lord; a nation the sound of whose language one shall not understand.
16 Kwarinsu kamar buɗaɗɗen kabari ne; dukansu jarumawa ne.
[They are] all mighty men:
17 Za su cinye amfanin gonakinku da abincinku, za su cinye’ya’yanku maza da mata; za su cinye garkunan tumakinku da na awakinku, za su cinye’ya’yan inabinku da na ɓaurenku. Da takobi za su hallaka biranenku masu katanga.
and they shall devour your harvest, and your bread; and shall devour your sons, and your daughters; and they shall devour your sheep, and your calves, and devour your vineyards, and your fig-plantations, and your olive yards: and they shall utterly destroy your strong cities, wherein you trusted, with the sword.
18 “Amma ko a cikin waɗancan kwanaki,” in ji Ubangiji, “ba zan hallaka ku gaba ɗaya ba.
And it shall come to pass in those days, says the Lord your God, that I will not utterly destroy you.
19 Sa’ad da kuma mutanen suka yi tambaya, ‘Me ya sa Ubangiji Allahnmu ya yi dukan wannan gare mu?’ Sai ka amsa musu, ‘Yadda kuka yashe ni kuka kuma bauta wa baƙin alloli a ƙasarku, haka yanzu za ku bauta wa baƙi a ƙasar da ba taku ba.’
And it shall come to pass, when you shall say, Therefore has the Lord our God done all these things to us? that you shall say to them, Because you served strange gods in your land, so shall you serve strangers in a land that is not yours.
20 “Ka sanar da wannan ga gidan Yaƙub ka yi shelarsa a Yahuda.
Proclaim these things to the house of Jacob, and let them be heard in the house of Juda.
21 Ku ji wannan, ku wawaye marasa azanci, waɗanda suke da idanu amma ba sa gani, waɗanda suke da kunnuwa amma ba sa ji.
Hear you now these things, O foolish and senseless people; who have eyes, and see not; and have ears, and hear not:
22 Bai kamata ku ji tsorona ba?” In ji Ubangiji. “Bai kamata ku yi rawar jiki a gabana ba? Na sa yashi ya zama iyakar teku, madawwamiyar iyakar da ba zai tsallake ba. Raƙuman ruwa za su iya yin hauka, amma ba za su iya haye ta ba; za su iya yin ruri, amma ba za su iya ƙetare ta ba.
will you not be afraid of me? says the Lord; and will you not fear before me, who have set the sand for a bound to the sea, [as] a perpetual ordinance, and it shall not pass it: yes, it shall rage, but not prevail; and its waves shall roar, but not pass over it.
23 Amma mutanen nan suna da tauraren zukata, kuma’yan tawaye ne; sun kauce suka kuma rabu da ni.
But this people has a disobedient and rebellious heart; and they have turned aside and gone back:
24 Ba sa faɗa wa kansu, ‘Bari mu ji tsoron Ubangiji Allahnmu, wanda yake ba mu ruwan sama a kan kari na kaka da na bazara, wanda kullum yake tabbatar mana da girbi.’
and they have not said in their heart, Let us fear now the Lord our God, who gives us the early and latter rain, according to the season of the fulfilment of the ordinance of harvest, and has preserved [it] for us.
25 Laifofinku sun raba ku da waɗannan abubuwa; zunubanku sun hana ku samun alheri.
Your transgressions have turned away these things, and your sins have removed good things from you.
26 “A cikin mutanena an sami mugaye waɗanda suke kwanton ɓauna kamar masu sa tarko wa tsuntsaye kamar waɗanda suke kafa tarko don su kama mutane.
For amongst my people were found ungodly men; and they have set snares to destroy men, and have caught [them].
27 Kamar keji cike da tsuntsaye, gidajensu sun cika da ruɗu; sun yi arziki suka kuma zama masu iko
As a snare which has been set is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore have they grown great, and become rich:
28 suka kuma yi ƙiba, suka yi bul-bul. Mugayen ayyukansu ba su da iyaka; ba sa wa marayu shari’ar adalci, ba sa kāre’yancin matalauta.
and they have transgressed [the rule of] judgement; they have not judged the cause of the orphan, nor have they judged the cause of the widow.
29 Bai kamata in hukunta su saboda wannan ba?” In ji Ubangiji. “Bai kamata in yi ramuwa a kan irin al’umma kamar wannan ba?
Shall I not visit for these things? says the Lord: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
30 “Abin banmamaki da bantsoro ya faru a ƙasar.
Shocking and horrible deeds have been done on the land;
31 Annabawa suna annabcin ƙarya, firistoci suna mulki da ikon kansu, mutanena kuma suna son haka. Amma me za ku yi a ƙarshe?
the prophets utter unrighteous prophecies, and the priests have clapped their hands: and my people has loved [to have it] thus: and what will you do for the future.
