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 to and from by the streetes of Ierusalem, and beholde nowe, and knowe, and inquire in the open places thereof, if ye can finde a man, or if there be any that executeth iudgement, and seeketh the trueth, and I will spare it.
2 Ko da yake suna cewa, ‘Muddin Ubangiji yana raye,’ duk da haka suna rantsuwar ƙarya.”
For though they say, The Lord liueth, yet doe they sweare 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, are not thine eyes vpon the trueth? thou hast striken them, but they haue not sorowed: thou hast consumed them, but they haue refused to receiue correction: they haue made their faces harder then a stone, and haue refused to returne.
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.
Therefore I saide, Surely they are poore, they are foolish, for they know not the way of the Lord, nor the iudgement of their 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 get me vnto the great men, and will speake vnto them: for they haue knowen the way of the Lord, and the iudgement of their God: but these haue altogether broken the yoke, and burst the bondes.
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.
Wherefore a lyon out of the forest shall slay them, and a wolfe of the wildernesse shall destroy them: a leopard shall watch ouer their cities: euery one that goeth out thence, shall be torne in pieces, because their trespasses are many, and their rebellions are increased.
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.
Howe should I spare thee for this? thy children haue forsaken me, and sworne by them that are no gods: though I fed them to the full, yet they committed adulterie, and assembled them selues by companies in the harlots houses.
8 An ciyar da su sosai, kamar ƙosassun ingarmu, masu jaraba, kowanne yana haniniya, yana neman matar maƙwabcinsa.
They rose vp in the morning like fed horses: for euery man neyed after his neighbours 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 visite for these things, saith the Lord? Shall not my soule be auenged 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.
Clime vp vpon their walles, and destroy them, but make not a full ende: take away their batilments, for they are not the Lords.
11 Gidan Isra’ila da gidan Yahuda sun zama marasa aminci gaba ɗaya gare ni” in ji Ubangiji.
For the house of Israel, and the house of Iudah haue grieuously trespassed against me, saith the Lord.
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.
They haue denied the Lord, and saide, It is not he, neither shall the plague come vpon vs, neither shall we see sworde nor famine.
13 Annabawa holoƙo ne kawai maganar kuwa ba ta cikinsu; saboda haka bari abin da suke faɗi ya koma kansu.”
And the Prophetes shall be as winde, and the worde is not in them: thus shall it come vnto 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.
Wherefore thus saith the Lord God of hostes, Because ye speake such wordes, beholde, I will put my wordes into thy mouth, like a fire, and this people shall be as wood, and it shall deuoure 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.
Loe, I will bring a nation vpon you from farre, O house of Israel, saith the Lord, which is a mightie nation, and an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither vnderstandest what they say.
16 Kwarinsu kamar buɗaɗɗen kabari ne; dukansu jarumawa ne.
Whose quiuer is as an open sepulchre: they are all very strong.
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 eate thine haruest and thy bread: they shall deuoure thy sonnes and thy daughters: they shall eate vp thy sheepe and thy bullocks: they shall eate thy vines and thy figge trees: they shall destroy with the sworde thy fenced cities, wherein thou didest trust.
18 “Amma ko a cikin waɗancan kwanaki,” in ji Ubangiji, “ba zan hallaka ku gaba ɗaya ba.
Neuerthelesse at those dayes, sayth the Lord, I will not make a full ende of 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 when ye shall say, Wherefore doeth the Lord our God doe these things vnto vs? then shalt thou answere them, Like as ye haue forsaken me and serued strange gods in your land, so shall ye serue strangers in a land that is not yours.
20 “Ka sanar da wannan ga gidan Yaƙub ka yi shelarsa a Yahuda.
Declare this in the house of Iaakob, and publish it in Iudah, saying,
21 Ku ji wannan, ku wawaye marasa azanci, waɗanda suke da idanu amma ba sa gani, waɗanda suke da kunnuwa amma ba sa ji.
Heare nowe this, O foolish people, and without vnderstanding, which haue eyes and see not, which haue eares and heare 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.
Feare ye not me, saith the Lord? or will ye not be afraide at my presence, which haue placed the sand for the bounds of the sea by the perpetuall decree that it cannot passe it, and though the waues thereof rage, yet can they not preuaile, though they roare, yet can they not passe ouer it?
23 Amma mutanen nan suna da tauraren zukata, kuma’yan tawaye ne; sun kauce suka kuma rabu da ni.
But this people hath an vnfaithfull and rebellious heart: they are departed and gone.
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.’
For they say not in their heart, Let vs nowe feare the Lord our God, that giueth raine both early and late in due season: hee reserueth vnto vs the appointed weekes of the haruest.
25 Laifofinku sun raba ku da waɗannan abubuwa; zunubanku sun hana ku samun alheri.
Yet your iniquities haue turned away these things, and your sinnes haue hindred 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 among my people are founde wicked persons, that lay waite as hee that setteth snares: they haue made a pit, to catch men.
27 Kamar keji cike da tsuntsaye, gidajensu sun cika da ruɗu; sun yi arziki suka kuma zama masu iko
As a cage is full of birdes, so are their houses full of deceite: thereby they are become great and waxen riche.
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.
They are waxen fat and shining: they doe ouerpasse the deedes of the wicked: they execute no iudgement, no not the iudgement of the fatherlesse: yet they prosper, though they execute no iudgement for the poore.
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 visite for these things, sayth the Lord? or shall not my soule be auenged on such a nation as this?
30 “Abin banmamaki da bantsoro ya faru a ƙasar.
An horrible and filthie thing is committed in 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 prophesie lies, and ye Priests receiue giftes in their handes, and my people delite therein. What will ye then doe in the ende thereof?
