< Irmiya 50 >
1 Ga maganar Ubangiji da ya yi ta wurin Irmiya annabi game da Babilon da kuma ƙasar Babiloniyawa.
This is the Lord's message that he told Jeremiah the prophet to give about Babylon and the country of Babylonia.
2 “Ka yi shela ka kuma furta a cikin al’ummai, ka tā da tuta ka kuma furta; kada ku ɓoye kome, amma ku ce, ‘Za a ci Babilon da yaƙi; za a kunyata Bel, Marduk ya cika da tsoro. Siffofinta za su sha kunya gumakanta za su cika da tsoro.’
Tell everyone the news! Hold up a sign and shout it out, don't hold back! Tell them, Babylon has fallen! Her god Bel is humiliated; the power of her god Marduk is broken; all Babylon's idols are humiliated and their power is broken.
3 Al’umma daga arewa za tă fāɗa mata su mai da ƙasar kango. Ba wanda zai zauna a cikinta; mutane da dabbobi za su gudu.
A northern nation will come and attack her and turn the country into a wasteland. No one will live there—both people and animals will desert it.
4 “A kwanakin nan, a wannan lokaci,” in ji Ubangiji, “mutanen Isra’ila da mutanen Yahuda gaba ɗaya za su tafi cikin hawaye su nemi Ubangiji Allahnsu.
That's the time when the people of Israel and Judah will join together, weeping as they go to worship the Lord their God, declares the Lord.
5 Za su tambayi hanyar zuwa Sihiyona su kuma juya fuskokinsu wajenta. Za su zo su haɗa kansu ga Ubangiji a madawwamin alkawari da ba za a manta da shi ba.
They will ask the way to Zion, and start going in that direction. They will arrive and commit themselves to the Lord in an everlasting agreement that won't ever be forgotten.
6 “Mutanena sun zama ɓatattun tumaki; makiyayansu sun bauɗar da su suka sa suna ta yawo a cikin duwatsu. Sun yi ta yawo a bisa dutse da tudu suka manta wurin hutunsu.
My people are sheep that are lost, led astray by their shepherds, making them wander aimlessly in the mountains. They go from place to place in the mountains and hills, forgetting where they used to rest.
7 Duk wanda ya same su ya cinye su; abokan gābansu suka ce, ‘Ba mu da laifi, gama sun yi zunubi wa Ubangiji, wurin kiwonsu na gaske, Ubangiji, abin sa zuciyar kakanninsu.’
All those who came across them attacked them. Their enemies declared, “We're not to blame! They're the ones who sinned against the Lord, their true resting place; the Lord who was the hope of their forefathers.”
8 “Ku gudu daga Babilon; ku bar ƙasar Babiloniyawa, ku zama kamar awakin da suke bi da garke.
Run away from the city of Babylon; get away from the country of Babylonia! Lead the way like the male goats that lead the flock.
9 Gama zan kuta in kuma kawo a kan Babilon haɗinkan manyan al’ummai na arewa. Za su ja dāgār gāba da ita, kuma daga arewa za a ci ta da yaƙi. Kibiyoyinsu za su zama kamar na gwanayen jarumawa waɗanda ba sa dawowa hannu wofi.
Look! I'm assembling a coalition of strong northern nations who will come and attack Babylon. They will line up in battle against her; she will be conquered from the north. Their arrows will be like the best warriors—they don't miss!
10 Saboda haka za a washe Babiloniyawa; dukan waɗanda suka washe ta za su ƙoshi,” in ji Ubangiji.
Babylonia will be plundered—everyone who plunders her will have plenty of loot, declares the Lord.
11 “Saboda kuna farin ciki kuna kuma murna, ku da kuka washe gādona, domin kuna tsalle kamar karsana mai sussuka hatsi kuna kuma haniniya kamar ingarmu.
Though for now you Babylonians celebrate and sing triumphantly as you plunder my special people, though for now you jump around like a frisky young cow treading out the grain, and neigh like stallions,
12 Mahaifiyarku za tă sha babbar kunya; ita da ta haife ku za tă sha kunya. Za tă zama mafi ƙanƙanta na al’ummai, jeji, busasshiyar ƙasa, hamada.
you are going to bring shame on your mother, you are going to disgrace the one who gave birth to you. Watch as she becomes the least important of all the nations, a wilderness, a dry desert land.
13 Saboda fushin Ubangiji ba za tă zauna a cikinta ba amma za tă zama kufai gaba ɗaya. Duk waɗanda suka wuce Babilon za su ji tsoro su kuma yi tsaki saboda dukan mikinta.
Because of Lord's angry punishment, she will be deserted, completely desolate. Everyone who passes by will be horrified at what has happened to Babylon, and sneer at all her wounds.
14 “Ku ja dāgā kewaye da Babilon, dukanku waɗanda kuke jan baka. Ku harbe ta! Kada ku rage kibiyoyi, gama ta yi zunubi ga Ubangiji.
All you archers, line up ready for battle around Babylon. Shoot at her! Don't save your arrows, because she has sinned against the Lord.
15 Ku yi kuwwa a kanta a kowane gefe! Ta miƙa wuya, hasumiyarta ta fāɗi, katangarta sun rushe. Da yake wannan sakayya ce ta Ubangiji, ku ɗauki fansa a kanta; yi mata yadda ta yi wa waɗansu.
Shout war-cries against her from every side! She holds up her hands in surrender. Her towers have collapsed; her walls are demolished. This is the Lord paying her back, so you too can pay her back—do the same to her as she did to others.
16 Ku datse wa Babilon mai shuka, da mai girbi lauje a lokacin girbi. Saboda takobin mai zalunci bari kowa ya koma ga mutanensa, bari kowa ya gudu zuwa ga ƙasarsa.
Stop the sower from sowing in the country of Babylon, and stop the harvester swinging the sickle to reap the grain. Under the threat of the enemies' swords, everyone runs home to their own people, they go back to where they came from.
17 “Isra’ila garke ne da ya watse da zakoki suka kora. Na farkon da ya cinye shi sarkin Assuriya ne; na ƙarshen da ya ragargaza ƙasusuwansa Nebukadnezzar sarkin Babilon ne.”
The Israelites are a flock that's been chased and scattered by lions. The first on the attack was the king of Assyria; then lastly Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon crushed their bones.
18 Saboda haka ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki, Allah na Isra’ila, yana cewa, “Zan hukunta sarkin Babilon da ƙasarsa yadda na hukunta sarkin Assuriya.
So this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I'm going to punish the king of Babylon and his country just like I punished the king of Assyria.
19 Amma zan komo da Isra’ila zuwa wurin kiwonsa zai kuwa yi kiwo a Karmel da Bashan; zai ƙosar da marmarinsa a tuddan Efraim da Gileyad.
I will lead the Israelites back to their pasturelands, to feed on Carmel and Bashan, to satisfy their appetites on the hills of Ephraim and Gilead.
20 A kwanakin nan, da kuma a lokacin nan,” in ji Ubangiji, “za a yi bincike don laifin Isra’ila, amma ba za a samu ba, kuma don zunubin Yahuda, amma ba za a sami wani abu ba, gama zan gafarta wa raguwar da na rage.
This will be when the guilt and the sins of Israel and Judah will be looked for, but none will be found, because I will forgive those people who remain that I'm looking after, declares the Lord.
21 “Ku fāɗa wa ƙasar Meratayim da waɗanda suke zama a Fekod. Ku fafara, ku kashe kuma hallaka su sarai,” in ji Ubangiji. “Ku aikata dukan abin da na umarce ku.
Go and attack the land of Merathaim, and the people living in Pekod. Kill them with swords, set them apart for destruction, along with everything they leave behind. Make sure you do everything I have ordered you to do, declares the Lord.
22 Hargowar yaƙi tana a ƙasar, hargowar babbar hallaka!
The noise of battle is heard in the country, the noise of terrible destruction.
23 Dubi yadda aka karya aka kuma ragargaza gudumar dukan duniya! Dubi yadda Babilon ta zama kufai a cikin al’ummai!
See how the hammer of the whole earth is lying broken in pieces in the ground! The nations look with horror on what Babylon has become!
24 Na sa miki tarko, Babilon, kika kuwa kamu kafin ki sani; aka same ki aka kuma kama ki domin kin tayar wa Ubangiji.
Babylon, I set a trap for you, and you were caught before you realized it. You were hunted down and captured because you fought against the Lord.
25 Ubangiji ya buɗe taskar makamansa ya fitar da makaman fushinsa, gama Maɗaukaki Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka yana da aikin da zai yi a ƙasar Babiloniyawa.
In his anger the Lord opened his armory to bring out his weapons, for this is what the Lord God Almighty is doing in the country of Babylonia.
26 Ku zo ku yi gāba da ita daga nesa. Ku buɗe rumbunanta; ku jibga ta kamar tsibin hatsi. Ku hallaka ta sarai kada ku bar mata raguwa.
Come and attack her from every side! Open her granaries; collect the loot you take from her like piles of grain. Set her apart for destruction; don't leave any survivors.
27 Ku kashe dukan’yan bijimanta bari su gangara zuwa mayanka! Kaitonsu! Gama ranansu ta zo, lokaci ya yi da za a hukunta su.
Kill all her young bulls with the sword; let them be slaughtered. What a disaster for them, because their time has come when they're punished.
28 Ku saurari masu gudun hijira da masu neman mafaka daga Babilon suna furtawa a Sihiyona yadda Ubangiji Allahnmu ya ɗauki fansa, fansa domin haikalinsa.
(Listen to the refugees and survivors who have returned from Babylonia, announcing in Zion, “The Lord our God is paying them back for what happened to his Temple.”)
29 “Ku kira’yan baka a kan Babilon, dukan waɗanda suke jan baka. Ku yi sansani kewaye da ita duka; kada ku bar wani ya tsira. Ku sāka mata don ayyukanta; ku yi mata yadda ta yi. Gama ta tayar wa Ubangiji, Mai Tsarkin nan na Isra’ila.
Call up the archers to attack Babylon, yes, all of them! Completely surround her—don't let anyone escape. Pay her back for what she's done, because in her pride she defied the Lord, Israel's Holy One.
30 Saboda haka, samarinta za su fāɗi a tituna; za a kawar da dukan sojojinta a wannan rana,” in ji Ubangiji.
As a result her young men will be killed in the streets; all her soldiers will die that day, declares the Lord.
31 “Ga shi, ina gāba da ke, ya ke mai girman kai,” in ji Ubangiji, Ubangiji Maɗaukaki, “gama ranarki ta zo, lokacin da za a hukunta ki.
Watch out, because I'm against you, you arrogant people! declares the Lord God Almighty. Your time has come when I will punish you.
32 Mai ɗaga kai za tă yi tuntuɓe ta kuma fāɗi kuma ba wanda zai taimake ta tă tashi; zan hura wuta a garuruwanta da za tă cinye duk waɗanda suke kewaye da ita.”
You arrogant people will trip and fall. Nobody will be there to pick you up. I'm going to set fire to your towns and burn up everything around you.
33 Ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki yana cewa, “An danne mutanen Isra’ila, haka ma mutanen Yahuda. Dukan waɗanda suka kama su suna riƙe su kankan, suna kin barinsu su tafi.
This is what the Lord Almighty says: The people of Israel and Judah are being mistreated. All who captured them are holding onto them, refusing to let them go.
34 Duk da haka Mai Fansarsu yana da ƙarfi; Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ne sunansa. Zai kāre muradunsu gabagadi don yă kawo hutu ga ƙasarsu, amma rashin hutu ga waɗanda suke zaune a Babilon.
But the one who rescues them is powerful; the Lord Almighty is his name. He will defend them and their cause, so he may bring peace on earth, but trouble to the people of Babylon.
35 “Akwai takobi a kan Babiloniyawa!” In ji Ubangiji “a kan waɗanda suke zama a Babilon da kuma a kan fadawanta da masu hikimarta!
A sword is raised to attack the Babylonians, declares the Lord, ready to attack those who live in Babylon, and her officials and wise men.
36 Akwai takobi a kan annabawan ƙaryanta! Za su zama wawaye. Akwai takobi a kan jarumawanta! Za su cika da tsoro.
A sword is raised to attack her false prophets, and they will become fools. A sword is raised to attack her soldiers, and they will be terrified.
37 Akwai takobi a kan dawakanta da kekunan yaƙinta da kuma dukan baƙin da suke cikin mayaƙanta! Za su zama mata. Akwai takobi a kan dukiyarta! Za a washe su.
A sword is raised to attack her horses and chariots, along with all the foreign soldiers with her, and they will become like frightened women. A sword is raised to attack her stores of treasure, and they will be plundered.
38 Fări a kan ruwanta! Za su bushe ƙaf. Gama ƙasa ce ta gumaka, gumakan da za su haukace da tsoro.
A drought has hit her rivers, and they will dry up. For it's a country full of pagan images. These horrible idols drive their worshipers mad.
39 “Saboda haka halittun hamada da kuraye za su zauna a can, a can kuma mujiya za tă zauna. Ba za a ƙara zauna ko a yi zama a cikinta ba daga tsara zuwa tsara.
Consequently desert animals and hyenas will live there, and it will be a home for owls. It will be uninhabited forever—it won't be lived in from one generation to the next.
40 Yadda Allah ya tumɓuke Sodom da Gomorra tare da maƙwabtan garuruwansu,” in ji Ubangiji “haka ma ba wanda zai zauna a can; ba wani da zai zauna a cikinta.
In the same way that God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighboring towns, declares the Lord, no one will live there, no one will stay there.
41 “Duba! Ga sojoji suna zuwa daga arewa; babbar al’umma da sarakuna masu yawa suna tahowa daga iyakokin duniya.
Look! An army is advancing from the north. A great nation and many kings are coming against you from the distant lands.
42 Suna riƙe da baka da māshi; mugaye ne marasa tausayi. Amonsu ya yi kamar rurin teku yayinda suke hawan dawakansu; suna zuwa kamar mutane a dāgār yaƙi don su fāɗa miki, ya Diyar Babilon.
They're carrying bows and javelins. They are cruel and merciless. When they shout it's like the sea roaring. They ride on horses and attack in formation against you, people of Babylon.
43 Sarkin Babilon ya ji rahotanni game da su, hannunsa kuma ya yi laƙwas. Wahala ta kama shi, zafi kamar na mace mai naƙuda.
The king of Babylon has heard the news and he's terrified. He's overcome with fear, in pain like a woman in labor.
44 Kamar zaki mai haurawa daga kurmin Urdun zuwa wurin kiwo mai dausayi, zan fafare Babilon daga ƙasan nan da nan. Wane ne zaɓaɓɓen da zan naɗa domin wannan? Wane ne kamar ni da zai kalubalance ni? Kuma wanda makiyayi zai iya tsaya gāba da ni?”
Watch out! I'm going to come like a lion from the tangled undergrowth beside the Jordan to attack the animals grazing the green pasture. In fact I'm going to chase the Babylonians from their land very quickly. Who will I choose to conquer them? Who is like me? Who can challenge me? Which leader could oppose me?
45 Saboda haka, ku ji abin da Ubangiji ya shirya a kan Babilon, abin da ya nufa gāba da ƙasar Babiloniyawa. Za a kwashe ƙananan garkensu a tafi; zai hallaka wurin kiwonsu sarai saboda su.
So listen to what the Lord has planned to do to Babylon and the country of Babylonia: Their children will be dragged away like lambs from the flock, and because of them their pasture will become a wasteland.
46 Da jin an ci Babilon da yaƙi sai duniya ta girgiza; za a ji kukanta cikin al’ummai.
The sound of Babylon's capture will make the earth shake; their cries will be heard throughout the nations.
