Irmiya 6
1 “Ku gudu neman mafaka, mutanen Benyamin! Ku gudu daga Urushalima! Ku busa ƙaho a Tekowa! Ku ba da alama a Bet-Hakkerem! Gama masifa tana zuwa daga arewa, mummunar hallaka ce kuwa.
Put yourselves under covert, ye children of Benjamin, away from the midst of Jerusalem, and blow the horn in Tekoa, and set up a signal on Beth-cherem; for evil looketh forth from the north, and a great destruction.
2 Zan hallaka Diyar Sihiyona, kyakkyawa da kuma mai laulayi.
The comely and delicate one, the daughter of Zion, will I cut off.
3 Makiyaya da garkunansu za su taso mata; za su kafa tentunansu kewaye da ita, kowanne yana lura da sashensa.”
Shepherds with their flocks come unto her; they pitch their tents against her round about; they feed bare every one what is nigh at hand.
4 “Mu shirya don yaƙi da ita! Ku tashi, bari mu fāɗa mata da tsakar rana! Amma, kaito, rana tana fāɗuwa, inuwar yamma kuwa sai ƙaran tsawo take.
'Prepare ye war against her; arise, and let us go up at noon!' 'Woe unto us! for the day declineth, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out!'
5 Saboda haka ku tashi, bari mu fāɗa mata da dare mu rurrushe kagaranta!”
'Arise, and let us go up by night, and let us destroy her palaces.'
6 Ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki yana cewa, “Ku sassare itatuwan ku tula ƙasa kewaye da Urushalima. Dole a hukunta wannan birni; saboda ya cika da zalunci.
For thus hath the LORD of hosts said: hew ye down her trees, and cast up a mound against Jerusalem; this is the city to be punished; everywhere there is oppression in the midst of her.
7 Kamar yadda rijiya takan ba da ruwarta, haka birnin yake da muguntarsa. Ana jin labarin rikici da hallaka a cikinsa; ciwonsa da mikinsa kullum suna a gabana.
As a cistern welleth with her waters, so she welleth with her wickedness; violence and spoil is heard in her; before Me continually is sickness and wounds.
8 Ki ji gargaɗi, ya Urushalima, ko kuwa in juya daga gare ki in mai da ƙasarki kufai don kada wani ya zauna a cikinta.”
Be thou corrected, O Jerusalem, lest My soul be alienated from thee, lest I make thee desolate, a land not inhabited.
9 Ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki yana cewa, “Bari su yi kalan raguwar Isra’ila a yi kalan sarai yadda ake yi wa inabi; ka sāke miƙa hannunka a kan rassan, kamar mai tattara inabi.”
Thus saith the LORD of hosts: They shall thoroughly glean as a vine the remnant of Israel; turn again thy hand as a grape-gatherer upon the shoots.
10 Ga wa zan yi magana in kuma gargaɗar? Wa zai saurare ni? Kunnuwansu sun toshe don kada su ji. Maganar Ubangiji ta zama abin zargi a gare su; ba sa jin daɗinta.
To whom shall I speak and give warning, that they may hear? Behold, their ear is dull, and they cannot attend; behold, the word of the LORD is become unto them a reproach, they have no delight in it.
11 Amma ina cike da fushin Ubangiji, kuma ba na iya kannewa. “Ka kwararo shi a kan yara a titi da kuma a kan samarin da suka tattaru; za a kama miji da mata a cikinsa, tsofaffi da suka tsufa tukub.
Therefore I am full of the fury of the LORD, I am weary with holding in: pour it out upon the babes in the street, and upon the assembly of young men together; for even the husband with the wife shall be taken, the aged with him that is full of days.
12 Za a ba da gidajensu ga waɗansu, tare da gonakinsu da matansu, sa’ad da na miƙa hannuna gāba da waɗanda suke zama a ƙasar,” in ji Ubangiji.
And their houses shall be turned unto others, their fields and their wives together; for I will stretch out My hand upon the inhabitants of the land, saith the LORD.
13 “Daga ƙarami zuwa babba, dukansu masu haɗama ne don riba; har da annabawa da firistoci, dukansu suna aikata rashin gaskiya.
For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them every one is greedy for gain; and from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.
14 Sukan ɗaura mikin mutanena sai ka ce mikin ba shi da matsala. Suna cewa, ‘Lafiya, Lafiya,’ alhali kuwa ba lafiya.
They have healed also the hurt of My people lightly, saying: 'Peace, peace', when there is no peace.
15 Suna jin kunyar halinsu na banƙyama? A’a, ba sa jin kunya sam; ba su ma san yadda za su soke kai ba. Saboda haka za su fāɗi tare da fāɗaɗɗu; za a hamɓarar da su sa’ad da na hukunta su,” in ji Ubangiji.
They shall be put to shame because they have committed abomination; yea, they are not at all ashamed, neither know they how to blush; therefore they shall fall among them that fall, at the time that I punish them they shall stumble, saith the LORD.
16 Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, “Ku tsaya kan hanyoyi, ku duba; ku nemi hanyoyin dā, ku tambaya inda hanyar mai kyau take, ku yi tafiya a kanta, za ku kuwa sami hutu wa rayukanku. Amma kun ce, ‘Ba za mu bi ta ba.’
Thus saith the LORD: Stand ye in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said: 'We will not walk therein.'
17 Na naɗa muku masu tsaro a kanku na kuma ce, ‘Ku saurari karan ƙaho!’ Amma kuka ce, ‘Ba za mu saurara ba.’
And I set watchmen over you: 'Attend to the sound of the horn', but they said: 'We will not attend.'
18 Saboda haka ku, ya al’ummai; ku lura Ya shaidu, abin da zai faru da su.
Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what is against them.
19 Ki ji, ya duniya. Zan kawo masifa a kan waɗannan mutane, sakayyar ƙulle-ƙullensu, domin ba su saurari maganata ba suka kuma ƙi dokata.
Hear, O earth: Behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not attended unto My words, and as for My teaching, they have rejected it.
20 Babu riba a kawo mini turare daga Sheba ko rake mai zaƙi daga ƙasa mai nisa? Ba zan karɓi hadayunku na ƙonawa ba; ba na jin daɗin sadakokinku.”
To what purpose is to Me the frankincense that cometh from Sheba, and the sweet cane, from a far country? Your burnt-offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices pleasing unto Me.
21 Saboda haka ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, “Zan sa abin tuntuɓe gaban mutanena. Mahaifi da’ya’yansa maza za su yi tuntuɓe a kan juna; maƙwabci da abokansa za su hallaka.”
Therefore thus saith the LORD: Behold, I will lay stumblingblocks before this people, and the fathers and the sons together shall stumble against them, the neighbour and his friend, and they shall perish.
22 Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, “Duba, sojoji suna zuwa daga ƙasar arewa; babbar al’umma ce ta yunƙuro daga iyakokin duniya.
Thus saith the LORD: Behold, a people cometh from the north country, and a great nation shall be roused from the uttermost parts of the earth.
23 Suna riƙe da baka da māshi; mugaye ne kuma marasa tausayi. Motsinsu kamar ƙugin teku ne yayinda suke hawan dawakansu; suna zuwa a jere kamar wanda ya yi shirin yaƙi don su fāɗa miki, ya Diyar Sihiyona.”
They lay hold on bow and spear, they are cruel, and have no compassion; their voice is like the roaring sea, and they ride upon horses; set in array, as a man for war, against thee, O daughter of Zion.
24 Mun ji labari a kansu, hannuwanmu kuwa suka yi laƙwas. Azaba ta kama mu, zafi kamar na mace mai naƙuda.
'We have heard the fame thereof, our hands wax feeble, anguish hath taken hold of us, and pain, as of a woman in travail.'
25 Kada ku fita zuwa gonaki ko ku yi tafiya a hanyoyi, gama abokin gāba yana da takobi, kuma akwai razana ko’ina.
Go not forth into the field, nor walk by the way; for there is the sword of the enemy, and terror on every side.
26 Ya mutanena, ku sanya tufafin makoki ku yi birgima a toka; ku yi kuka mai zafi irin wanda akan yi wa ɗa tilo, gama nan da nan mai hallakarwa zai auko mana.
O daughter of my people, gird thee with sackcloth, and wallow thyself in ashes; make thee mourning, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation; for the spoiler shall suddenly come upon us.
27 “Na maishe ka mai jarrabawar ƙarfe mutanena ne kuwa ƙarfen, don ka lura ka kuma gwada hanyoyinsu.
I have made thee a tower and a fortress among My people; that thou mayest know and try their way.
28 Su duka masu taurinkai ne,’yan tawaye, suna yawo suna baza jita-jita. Su tagulla ne da ƙarfe; dukansu lalatattu ne.
They are all grievous revolters, going about with slanders; they are brass and iron; they all of them deal corruptly.
29 Mazuga yana zuga da ƙarfi don yă ƙone dalma da wuta, amma tacewa yana tafiya a banza; ba a fitar da mugaye.
The bellows blow fiercely, the lead is consumed of the fire; in vain doth the founder refine, for the wicked are not separated.
30 Ana ce da su azurfar da aka ƙi, gama Ubangiji ya ƙi su.”
Refuse silver shall men call them, because the LORD hath rejected them.
