Irmiya 51
1 Ubangiji ya ce, “Ga shi, zan zuga ruhun mai hallakarwa a kan Babilon da mutanen Leb Kamai.
This is what the LORD says: “Behold, I will stir up against Babylon and against the people of Leb-kamai the spirit of a destroyer.
2 Zan aika da baƙi zuwa Babilon su casa ta su kuma yi kaca-kaca da ƙasarta; za su yi hamayya da ita a kowane gefe a ranar masifarta.
I will send strangers to Babylon to winnow her and empty her land; for they will come against her from every side in her day of disaster.
3 Kada ku bar maharbi yă ja bakansa, kada kuma ku bari yă sa kayan yaƙinsa. Kada ku rage samarinta, ku hallaka sojojinta ƙaf.
Do not let the archer bend his bow or put on his armor. Do not spare her young men; devote all her army to destruction!
4 Za su fāɗi matattu a ƙasar Babilon, da munanan raunuka a titunanta.
And they will fall slain in the land of the Chaldeans, and pierced through in her streets.
5 Gama Ubangiji Maɗaukaki, Allah na Isra’ila da Yahuda bai yashe su ba, ko da yake ƙasarsu cike da take da laifi a gaban Mai Tsarki na Isra’ila.
For Israel and Judah have not been abandoned by their God, the LORD of Hosts, though their land is full of guilt before the Holy One of Israel.”
6 “Ku gudu daga cikin Babilon! Bari kowa yă ceci ransa! Kada a hallaka saboda zunubanta. Gama lokaci ne don ramuwar Ubangiji, zai sāka mata bisa ga alhakinta.
Flee from Babylon! Escape with your lives! Do not be destroyed in her punishment. For this is the time of the LORD’s vengeance; He will pay her what she deserves.
7 Babilon ta zama ƙoƙon zinariya a hannun Ubangiji, ta sa dukan duniya ta yi maye. Ƙasashe sun sha ruwan inabinta, saboda haka yanzu sun haukace.
Babylon was a gold cup in the hand of the LORD, making the whole earth drunk. The nations drank her wine; therefore the nations have gone mad.
8 Farat ɗaya Babilon za tă fāɗi ta farfashe. Ku yi kuka dominta! Ku samo mata magani saboda azabarta; wataƙila za a iya warkar da ita.
Suddenly Babylon has fallen and been shattered. Wail for her; get her balm for her pain; perhaps she can be healed.
9 “‘Da mun warkar da Babilon, amma ba za tă warke ba; mu ƙyale ta kowane yă koma garinsu, gama hukuncinta ya kai sammai, ya yi tsawo kamar gizagizai.’
“We tried to heal Babylon, but she could not be healed. Abandon her! Let each of us go to his own land, for her judgment extends to the sky and reaches to the clouds.”
10 “‘Ubangiji ya baratar da mu; zo mu tafi mu yi shelarsa a Sihiyona mu faɗa abin da Ubangiji Allahnmu ya yi.’
“The LORD has brought forth our vindication; come, let us tell in Zion what the LORD our God has accomplished.”
11 “Ku wasa kibiyoyi, ku ɗauko garkuwoyi! Ubangiji ya zuga sarakunan Medes, domin niyyarsa ce yă hallaka Babilon. Ubangiji zai yi ramuwa, zai yi ramuwa saboda haikalinsa.
Sharpen the arrows! Fill the quivers! The LORD has aroused the spirit of the kings of the Medes, because His plan is aimed at Babylon to destroy her, for it is the vengeance of the LORD— vengeance for His temple.
12 Ku tā da tuta gāba da katangan Babilon! Ku ƙara matsara, ku kafa masu tsaro, ku shirya kwanto! Ga shi, Ubangiji zai aikata abin da ya faɗa umarninsa a kan mutanen Babilon.
Raise a banner against the walls of Babylon; post the guard; station the watchmen; prepare the ambush. For the LORD has both devised and accomplished what He spoke against the people of Babylon.
13 Ke da kike zama kusa da ruwaye da kike kuma wadatar dukiya, ƙarshenki ya zo, lokaci ya yi da za a kau da ke.
You who dwell by many waters, rich in treasures, your end has come; the thread of your life is cut.
14 Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ya rantse da zatinsa, ya ce Tabbatacce zan cika ka da mutane kamar fāra, za su kuwa yi sowa don nasara a kanka.
The LORD of Hosts has sworn by Himself: “Surely I will fill you up with men as with locusts, and they will shout in triumph over you.”
15 “Ya halicci ƙasa ta wurin ikonsa; ya kafa duniya ta wurin hikimarsa, ya kuma shimfiɗa sammai ta wurin fahiminsa.
The LORD made the earth by His power; He established the world by His wisdom and stretched out the heavens by His understanding.
16 Sa’ad da ya yi tsawa ruwan da suke sammai sukan yi ruri; yakan sa gizagizai su tashi daga ƙarshen duniya. Yakan tura walƙiya tare da ruwan sama yakan kuma saki iska daga cikin taskokinsa.
When He thunders, the waters in the heavens roar; He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth. He generates the lightning with the rain and brings forth the wind from His storehouses.
17 “Kowane mutum marar azanci ne kuma ba shi da sani; kowane maƙerin zinariya yakan sha kunya daga wurin gumakansa. Siffofinsa na ƙarya ne; babu numfashi a cikinsu.
Every man is senseless and devoid of knowledge; every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols. For his molten images are a fraud, and there is no breath in them.
18 Su marasa amfani ne, abubuwan ba’a ne kawai; sa’ad da lokacin hukuncinsu ya kai, za su hallaka.
They are worthless, a work to be mocked. In the time of their punishment they will perish.
19 Wanda yake na wajen Yaƙub ba kamar waɗannan ba ne, gama shi ne Mahalicci dukan abu, har da kabilar abin gādonsa, Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ne sunansa.
The Portion of Jacob is not like these, for He is the Maker of all things, and of the tribe of His inheritance— the LORD of Hosts is His name.
20 “Kai ne kulkin yaƙina, kayan yaƙina, da kai ne na ragargaza ƙasashe, da kai ne na hallaka mulkoki,
“You are My war club, My weapon for battle. With you I shatter nations; with you I bring kingdoms to ruin.
21 da kai ne na ragargaza doki da mahayi, da kai ne na ragargaza keken yaƙin da matuƙi,
With you I shatter the horse and rider; with you I shatter the chariot and driver.
22 da kai ne na ragargaza miji da mata, da kai ne na ragargaza tsoho da saurayi, da kai ne na ragargaza saurayi da budurwa,
With you I shatter man and woman; with you I shatter the old man and the youth; with you I shatter the young man and the maiden.
23 da kai ne na ragargaza makiyayi da garke, da kai ne na ragargaza manoma da dawakan noma, da kai ne na ragargaza masu mulki da shugabanni.
With you I shatter the shepherd and his flock; with you I shatter the farmer and his oxen; with you I shatter the governors and officials.
24 “Zan sāka wa Babilon da dukan mazaunan Babilon a idanunku saboda dukan muguntar da suka aikata a Sihiyona,” in ji Ubangiji.
Before your very eyes I will repay Babylon and all the dwellers of Chaldea for all the evil they have done in Zion,”
25 “Ga shi, ina gāba da kai, ya ke dutse mai hallakarwa, wadda ta hallaka duniya duka,” in ji Ubangiji. “Zan miƙa hannuna gāba da ke, zan mirgina ƙasa daga ƙwanƙolin dutse, zan maishe ki ƙonannen dutse.
“Behold, I am against you, O destroying mountain, you who devastate the whole earth, declares the LORD. I will stretch out My hand against you; I will roll you over the cliffs and turn you into a charred mountain.
26 Ba za a ɗauki dutsen yin kusurwa daga gare ki ba ko na kafa harsashen gini, gama za ki zama marar amfani har abada,” in ji Ubangiji.
No one shall retrieve from you a cornerstone or a foundation stone, because you will become desolate forever,”
27 “Ku tā da tuta a ƙasa! Ku busa ƙahoni a cikin ƙasashe! Ku shirya ƙasashe don yaƙi da ita, ku kira waɗannan mulkokin gāba da ita. Ararat, Minni, da Ashkenaz. A naɗa shugaba gāba da ita; ku shirya dawakai kamar fāra.
“Raise a banner in the land! Blow the ram’s horn among the nations! Prepare the nations against her. Summon the kingdoms against her— Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz. Appoint a captain against her; bring up horses like swarming locusts.
28 Ku shirya ƙasashe don yaƙi da ita, sarakunan Medes, gwamnoninsu da dukan masu shugabancinsu da kowace ƙasar da take ƙarƙashin mulkinsu.
Prepare the nations for battle against her— the kings of the Medes, their governors and all their officials, and all the lands they rule.
29 Ƙasa ta girgiza tana makyarkyata saboda nufin Ubangiji na gāba da Babilon ya tabbata, nufinsa na mai da ƙasar Babilon kufai don kada kowa yă zauna a can.
The earth quakes and writhes because the LORD’s intentions against Babylon stand: to make the land of Babylon a desolation, without inhabitant.
30 Sojojin Babilon sun daina yaƙi, suna zaune a cikin kagaransu. Ƙarfinsu ya ƙare, sun zama mata. An sa wa wuraren zamanta wuta, an karya ƙyamaren ƙofofin garinta.
The warriors of Babylon have stopped fighting; they sit in their strongholds. Their strength is exhausted; they have become like women. Babylon’s homes have been set ablaze, the bars of her gates are broken.
31 Maguji yana biye da maguji a guje, jakada yana biye da jakada, don su faɗa wa sarkin Babilon, cewa an ci birninsa a kowane gefe.
One courier races to meet another, and messenger follows messenger, to announce to the king of Babylon that his city has been captured from end to end.
32 An ƙwace mashigai aka ƙone fadamu da wuta, sojoji kuma suka giggice.”
The fords have been seized, the marshes set on fire, and the soldiers are terrified.”
33 Ni Ubangiji Maɗaukaki, Allah na Isra’ila na ce, “’Yar Babilon kamar daɓen masussuka a lokacin da ake sussuka, ba da daɗewa ba lokacin girbe ta zai zo.”
For this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: “The Daughter of Babylon is like a threshing floor at the time it is trampled. In just a little while her harvest time will come.”
34 “Nebukadnezzar sarkin Babilon ya cinye mu, ya sa muka rikice, ya maishe mu kamar tulun da babu kome a cikinsa. Ya cinye mu kamar yadda dodon ruwa yakan yi ya kuma cika cikinsa da kayan marmarinmu, sa’an nan kuma ya yi amanmu.
“Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has devoured me; he has crushed me. He has set me aside like an empty vessel; he has swallowed me like a monster; he filled his belly with my delicacies and vomited me out.
35 Bari abin da aka yi wa jikinmu yă kasance a bisa Babilon,” in ji mazaunan Sihiyona. “Bari jininmu yă kasance a kan waɗanda suke zama a Babilon,” in ji Urushalima.
May the violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon,” says the dweller of Zion. “May my blood be on the dwellers of Chaldea,” says Jerusalem.
36 Saboda haka ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce, “Duba, zan tsaya muku, zan ɗaukar muku fansa, zan sa tekunta kafe in kuma sa maɓulɓulanta su ƙafe.
Therefore this is what the LORD says: “Behold, I will plead your case and take vengeance on your behalf; I will dry up her sea and make her springs run dry.
37 Babilon za tă zama tarin juji, wurin zaman diloli, abin ƙyama da abar ba’a, inda ba kowa.
Babylon will become a heap of rubble, a haunt for jackals, an object of horror and scorn, without inhabitant.
38 Mutanenta duk suna ruri kamar zakoki, suna gurnani kamar’ya’yan zaki.
They will roar together like young lions; they will growl like lion cubs.
39 Amma sa’ad da aka farkar da su, zan yi musu biki in sa su sha su bugu, domin yi sowa da dariya, sa’an nan su shiga barcin da ba za su farka ba,” in ji Ubangiji.
While they are flushed with heat, I will serve them a feast, and I will make them drunk so that they may revel; then they will fall asleep forever and never wake up, declares the LORD.
40 “Zan sauko da su kamar tumaki zuwa mayanka, kamar raguna da bunsurai.
I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with male goats.
41 “Yadda za a ci Sheshak, taƙamar duniya duka za tă daina! Babilon za tă zama abar ƙyama a cikin al’ummai!
How Sheshach has been captured! The praise of all the earth has been seized. What a horror Babylon has become among the nations!
42 Teku zai malalo a kan Babilon, raƙumansa masu hauka za su rufe ta.
The sea has come up over Babylon; she is covered in turbulent waves.
43 Garuruwanta sun zama abin kufai, za tă zama hamada inda ba ruwa, ƙasar da ba mazauna, ba kuma mutumin da zai ratsa ta cikinta.
Her cities have become a desolation, a dry and arid land, a land where no one lives, where no son of man passes through.
44 Zan hukunta Bel a Babilon, in sa ya yi aman abin da ya haɗiye. Ƙasashe ba za su ƙara bumbuntowa wurinsa ba. Katangan Babilon kuwa za tă rushe!
I will punish Bel in Babylon. I will make him spew out what he swallowed. The nations will no longer stream to him; even the wall of Babylon will fall.
45 “Ku fito daga cikinta, jama’ata! Ku tsere da ranku! Ku tsere daga zafin fushin Ubangiji.
Come out of her, My people! Save your lives, each of you, from the fierce anger of the LORD.
46 Kada zuciyarku tă yi suwu ko ku ji tsoro sa’ad da aka ji labarin a ƙasar, labari guda a wannan shekara, wani kuma a ta biye, labarin hargitsi a ƙasar mai mulki ya tasar wa mai mulki.
Do not let your heart grow faint, and do not be afraid when the rumor is heard in the land; for a rumor will come one year— and then another the next year— of violence in the land and of ruler against ruler.
47 Gama kwanaki tabbatacce suna zuwa, sa’ad da zan hukunta gumakan Babilon, zan kunyatar da dukan ƙasar kuma matattunta duk za su kwanta a cikinta.
Therefore, behold, the days are coming when I will punish the idols of Babylon. Her entire land will suffer shame, and all her slain will lie fallen within her.
48 Sa’an nan sama da ƙasa da dukan abin da yake cikinsu, za su yi sowa ta murna a kan Babilon, gama daga arewa masu hallakarwa su auko mata,” in ji Ubangiji.
Then heaven and earth and all that is in them will shout for joy over Babylon because the destroyers from the north will come against her,”
49 “Babilon za tă fāɗi saboda kisassun mutanen Isra’ila, kamar dai yadda kisassu dukan duniya suka fāɗi saboda Babilon.
“Babylon must fall on account of the slain of Israel, just as the slain of all the earth have fallen because of Babylon.
50 Ku waɗanda kuka tsere wa takobi, ku gudu kada ku tsaya! Ku tuna da Ubangiji a ƙasa mai nesa, ku kuma yi ta tunani a kan Urushalima.”
You who have escaped the sword, depart and do not linger! Remember the LORD from far away, and let Jerusalem come to mind.”
51 “Mun sha kunya saboda zargin da ake yi mana kunya ta rufe mu, domin baƙi sun shiga tsarkakan wurare na gidan Ubangiji.”
“We are ashamed because we have heard reproach; disgrace has covered our faces, because foreigners have entered the holy places of the LORD’s house.”
52 “Amma kwanaki suna zuwa,” in ji Ubangiji, “sa’ad da zan hukunta gumakanta, da kuma a dukan ƙasarta waɗanda aka yi wa rauni, za su yi nishi.
“Therefore, behold, the days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when I will punish her idols, and throughout her land the wounded will groan.
53 Ko da Babilon za tă kai sararin sama ne, ta gina kagaranta mai ƙarfi, duk da haka zan aiki masu hallakarwa a kanta,” in ji Ubangiji.
Even if Babylon ascends to the heavens and fortifies her lofty stronghold, the destroyers I send will come against her,” declares the LORD.
54 “Ku ji muryar kuka daga Babilon, Da hargowar babbar hallakarwa daga ƙasar Babiloniyawa!
“The sound of a cry comes from Babylon, the sound of great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans!
55 Gama Ubangiji zai rushe Babilon, zai sa ta ƙame bakinta na alfarma. Sojoji za su yi ta kutsawa kamar raƙuman ruwa; suna tā da muryoyinsu.
For the LORD will destroy Babylon; He will silence her mighty voice. The waves will roar like great waters; the tumult of their voices will resound.
56 Gama mai hallakarwa ya auka wa Babilon, a kama sojojinta, a kuma kakkarya bakkunansu. Gama Ubangiji shi Allah ne mai sakayya; zai yi sakayya sosai.
For a destroyer is coming against her— against Babylon. Her warriors will be captured, and their bows will be broken, for the LORD is a God of retribution; He will repay in full.
57 Zan sa mahukuntanta da masu hikimarta, gwamnoninta, shugabanninta da sojojinta su sha su bugu; za su dinga yin barcin da ba za su farka ba,” in ji Sarkin, mai suna Ubangiji Maɗaukaki.
I will make her princes and wise men drunk, along with her governors, officials, and warriors. Then they will fall asleep forever and not wake up,” declares the King, whose name is the LORD of Hosts.
58 Ni Ubangiji Maɗaukaki, na ce, “Za a baje katangan nan na Babilon mai kauri za a kuma ƙone dogayen ƙyamarenta da wuta; mutane sun wahalar da kansu a banza, al’umma sun yi wahala kawai domin wutar lalata.”
This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Babylon’s thick walls will be leveled, and her high gates consumed by fire. So the labor of the people will be for nothing; the nations will exhaust themselves to fuel the flames.”
59 Jawabin da annabi Irmiya ya ba Serahiya, ɗan Neriya, wato, jikan Ma’asehiya, lokacin da ya tafi tare da Zedekiya, Sarkin Yahuda, zuwa Babilon a shekara ta huɗu ta mulkinsa. Serahiya shi ne shugaba mai lura da gidajen saukar baƙi.
This is the message that Jeremiah the prophet gave to the quartermaster Seraiah son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, when he went to Babylon with King Zedekiah of Judah in the fourth year of Zedekiah’s reign.
60 Irmiya ya rubuta a littafi dukan masifun da za su auko wa Babilon, wato, dukan wannan magana da aka rubuta a kan Babilon.
Jeremiah had written on a single scroll about all the disaster that would come upon Babylon—all these words that had been written concerning Babylon.
61 Irmiya kuwa ya ce wa Serahiya, “Lokacin da ka kai Babilon, sai ka karanta dukan maganan nan.
And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, “When you get to Babylon, see that you read all these words aloud,
62 Ka kuma ce, ‘Ya Ubangiji, kai ne ka yi magana a kan wannan wuri, cewa za ka lalatar da shi, har ba abin da zai zauna a ciki, mutum ko dabba. Wurin zai zama kufai har abada.’
and say, ‘O LORD, You have promised to cut off this place so that no one will remain—neither man nor beast. Indeed, it will be desolate forever.’
63 Sa’ad da ka gama karanta wannan littafi, sai ka ɗaura wa littafin dutse, sa’an nan ka jefar da shi tsakiyar Kogin Yuferites.
When you finish reading this scroll, tie a stone to it and cast it into the Euphrates.
64 Sa’an nan ka ce, ‘Haka Babilon za tă nutse, ba za tă ƙara tashi ba saboda masifar da zan kawo mata. Mutanenta kuwa za su fāɗi.’” Wannan shi ne ƙarshen kalmomin Irmiya.
Then you are to say, ‘In the same way Babylon will sink and never rise again, because of the disaster I will bring upon her. And her people will grow weary.’” Here end the words of Jeremiah.
