Irmiya 51
1 Ubangiji ya ce, “Ga shi, zan zuga ruhun mai hallakarwa a kan Babilon da mutanen Leb Kamai.
Yahweh says: “Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against those who dwell in Lebkamai, a destroying wind.
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 to Babylon strangers, who will winnow her. They will empty her land; for in the day of trouble they will be against her all around.
3 Kada ku bar maharbi yă ja bakansa, kada kuma ku bari yă sa kayan yaƙinsa. Kada ku rage samarinta, ku hallaka sojojinta ƙaf.
Against him who bends, let the archer bend his bow, also against him who lifts himself up in his coat of mail. Don’t spare her young men! Utterly destroy all her army!
4 Za su fāɗi matattu a ƙasar Babilon, da munanan raunuka a titunanta.
They will fall down slain in the land of the Chaldeans, and thrust 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 is not forsaken, nor Judah, by his God, by Yahweh of Armies; though their land is full of guilt against 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 out of the middle of Babylon! Everyone save his own life! Don’t be cut off in her iniquity, for it is the time of Yahweh’s vengeance. He will render to her a recompense.
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 has been a golden cup in Yahweh’s hand, who made all the earth drunk. The nations have drunk of 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.
Babylon has suddenly fallen and been destroyed! Wail for her! Take balm for her pain. Perhaps she may 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 would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed. Forsake her, and let’s each go into his own country; for her judgment reaches to heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies.
10 “‘Ubangiji ya baratar da mu; zo mu tafi mu yi shelarsa a Sihiyona mu faɗa abin da Ubangiji Allahnmu ya yi.’
‘Yahweh has produced our righteousness. Come, and let’s declare in Zion the work of Yahweh our God.’
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.
“Make the arrows sharp! Hold the shields firmly! Yahweh has stirred up the spirit of the kings of the Medes, because his purpose is against Babylon, to destroy it; for it is the vengeance of Yahweh, the vengeance of 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.
Set up a standard against the walls of Babylon! Make the watch strong! Set the watchmen, and prepare the ambushes; for Yahweh has both purposed and done that which he spoke concerning the inhabitants 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 on many waters, abundant in treasures, your end has come, the measure of your covetousness.
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.
Yahweh of Armies has sworn by himself, saying, ‘Surely I will fill you with men, as with locusts, and they will lift up a shout against you.’
15 “Ya halicci ƙasa ta wurin ikonsa; ya kafa duniya ta wurin hikimarsa, ya kuma shimfiɗa sammai ta wurin fahiminsa.
“He has made the earth by his power. He has established the world by his wisdom. By his understanding he has stretched out the heavens.
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 utters his voice, there is a roar of waters in the heavens, and he causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth. He makes lightning for the rain, and brings the wind out of his treasuries.
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 has become stupid and without knowledge. Every goldsmith is disappointed by his image, for his molten images are falsehood, 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 vanity, a work of delusion. In the time of their visitation, 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 formed all things, including the tribe of his inheritance. Yahweh of Armies 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 battle ax and weapons of war. With you I will break the nations into pieces. With you I will destroy kingdoms.
21 da kai ne na ragargaza doki da mahayi, da kai ne na ragargaza keken yaƙin da matuƙi,
With you I will break in pieces the horse and his rider.
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 will break in pieces the chariot and him who rides therein. With you I will break in pieces man and woman. With you I will break in pieces the old man and the youth. With you I will break in pieces the young man and the virgin.
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 will break in pieces the shepherd and his flock. With you I will break in pieces the farmer and his yoke. With you I will break in pieces governors and deputies.
24 “Zan sāka wa Babilon da dukan mazaunan Babilon a idanunku saboda dukan muguntar da suka aikata a Sihiyona,” in ji Ubangiji.
“I will render to Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil that they have done in Zion in your sight,” says Yahweh.
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, destroying mountain,” says Yahweh, “which destroys all the earth. I will stretch out my hand on you, roll you down from the rocks, and will make you a burned 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.
They won’t take a cornerstone from you, nor a stone for foundations; but you will be desolate forever,” says Yahweh.
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.
“Set up a standard in the land! Blow the trumpet among the nations! Prepare the nations against her! Call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz! Appoint a marshal against her! Cause the horses to come up as the 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 against her the nations, the kings of the Medes, its governors, and all its deputies, and all the land of their dominion!
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 land trembles and is in pain; for the purposes of Yahweh 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 mighty men of Babylon have stopped fighting, they remain in their strongholds. Their might has failed. They have become as women. Her dwelling places are set on fire. Her bars 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 runner will run to meet another, and one messenger to meet another, to show the king of Babylon that his city is taken on every quarter.
32 An ƙwace mashigai aka ƙone fadamu da wuta, sojoji kuma suka giggice.”
So the passages are seized. They have burned the reeds with fire. The men of war are frightened.”
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 Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel says: “The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing floor at the time when it is trodden. Yet a little while, and the time of harvest comes for her.”
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 the king of Babylon has devoured me. He has crushed me. He has made me an empty vessel. He has, like a monster, swallowed me up. He has filled his mouth with my delicacies. He has cast 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 on Babylon!” the inhabitant of Zion will say; and, “May my blood be on the inhabitants of Chaldea!” will Jerusalem say.
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 Yahweh says: “Behold, I will plead your cause, and take vengeance for you. I will dry up her sea, and make her fountain dry.
37 Babilon za tă zama tarin juji, wurin zaman diloli, abin ƙyama da abar ba’a, inda ba kowa.
Babylon will become heaps, a dwelling place for jackals, an astonishment, and a hissing, 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 as lions’ 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.
When they are inflamed, I will make their feast, and I will make them drunk, that they may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake up,” says Yahweh.
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 is taken! How the praise of the whole earth is seized! How Babylon has become a desolation among the nations!
42 Teku zai malalo a kan Babilon, raƙumansa masu hauka za su rufe ta.
The sea has come up on Babylon. She is covered with the multitude of its 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 land, and a desert, a land in which no man dwells. No son of man passes by it.
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 execute judgment on Bel in Babylon, and I will bring out of his mouth that which he has swallowed up. The nations will not flow any more to him. Yes, the wall of Babylon will fall.
45 “Ku fito daga cikinta, jama’ata! Ku tsere da ranku! Ku tsere daga zafin fushin Ubangiji.
“My people, go away from the middle of her, and each of you save yourselves from Yahweh’s fierce anger.
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.
Don’t let your heart faint. Don’t fear for the news that will be heard in the land. For news will come one year, and after that in another year news will come, and violence in the land, 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 come that I will execute judgment on the engraved images of Babylon; and her whole land will be confounded. All her slain will fall in the middle of 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 the heavens and the earth, and all that is therein, will sing for joy over Babylon; for the destroyers will come to her from the north,” says Yahweh.
49 “Babilon za tă fāɗi saboda kisassun mutanen Isra’ila, kamar dai yadda kisassu dukan duniya suka fāɗi saboda Babilon.
“As Babylon has caused the slain of Israel to fall, so the slain of all the land will fall at 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, go! Don’t stand still! Remember Yahweh from afar, and let Jerusalem come into your 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 confounded because we have heard reproach. Confusion has covered our faces, for strangers have come into the sanctuaries of Yahweh’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 come,” says Yahweh, “that I will execute judgment on her engraved images; and through all 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.
Though Babylon should mount up to the sky, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet destroyers will come to her from me,” says Yahweh.
54 “Ku ji muryar kuka daga Babilon, Da hargowar babbar hallakarwa daga ƙasar Babiloniyawa!
“The sound of a cry comes from Babylon, and 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 Yahweh lays Babylon waste, and destroys out of her the great voice! Their waves roar like many waters. The noise of their voice is uttered.
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 the destroyer has come on her, even on Babylon. Her mighty men are taken. Their bows are broken in pieces, for Yahweh is a God of retribution. He will surely repay.
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, her wise men, her governors, her deputies, and her mighty men drunk. They will sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake up,” says the King, whose name is Yahweh of Armies.
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.”
Yahweh of Armies says: “The wide walls of Babylon will be utterly overthrown. Her high gates will be burned with fire. The peoples will labor for vanity, and the nations for the fire; and they will be weary.”
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.
The word which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah to Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. Now Seraiah was chief quartermaster.
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 wrote in a book all the evil that should come on Babylon, even all these words that are written concerning Babylon.
61 Irmiya kuwa ya ce wa Serahiya, “Lokacin da ka kai Babilon, sai ka karanta dukan maganan nan.
Jeremiah said to Seraiah, “When you come to Babylon, then see that you read all these words,
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, ‘Yahweh, you have spoken concerning this place, to cut it off, that no one will dwell in it, neither man nor animal, but that 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.
It will be, when you have finished reading this book, that you shall bind a stone to it, and cast it into the middle of 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 shall say, ‘Thus will Babylon sink, and will not rise again because of the evil that I will bring on her; and they will be weary.’” Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.
