Irmiya 7
1 Maganar da ta zo wa Irmiya ke nan daga Ubangiji.
The word that came unto Jeremiah, from Yahweh saying: —
2 “Ka tsaya a ƙofar gidan Ubangiji, a can kuwa ka yi shelar wannan saƙo. “‘Ku ji maganar Ubangiji, dukanku mutanen Yahuda waɗanda suke shiga ta waɗannan ƙofofi don yin sujada ga Ubangiji.
Stand thou in the gate of the house of Yahweh, and thou shalt proclaim there this word, —and shalt say—Hear ye the word of Yahweh all Judah ye who are entering in at these gates, to bow down unto Yahweh:
3 Ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki, Allahna Isra’ila, yana cewa ku gyara hanyoyinku da ayyukanku, zan kuwa bar ku ku zauna a wannan wuri.
Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts God of Israel, Amend your ways, and your doings, —That I may cause you to dwell in this place.
4 Kada ku dogara ga maganganun nan na ruɗarwa cewa, “Wannan shi ne haikalin Ubangiji, haikalin Ubangiji, haikalin Ubangiji!”
Do not, on your part trust in false words, saying, —The temple of Yahweh The temple of Yahweh, The temple of Yahweh they are!
5 In dai kuka canja hanyoyinku da ayyukanku kuma kuna aikata adalci da junanku,
But, if ye shall thoroughly amend, your ways, and your doings, —Shall thoroughly execute justice between a man and his neighbour;
6 in ba ku zalunci baƙo, maraya ko gwauruwa ba kuma in ba ku zub da jinin marar laifi a wannan wuri ba, in kuma ba ku bi waɗansu alloli da za su cuce ku ba,
The sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow, shall not oppress, And innocent blood, shall not shed in this place, —And after other gods, shall not walk to your own hurt,
7 to, zan bar ku ku zauna a wannan wuri, a ƙasar da na ba kakanninku har abada abadin.
Then will I cause you to dwell In this place, In the land which I gave to your fathers, —From one age even unto another,
8 Amma ga shi, kuna dogara ga maganganu na ruɗami marasa amfani.
Lo! ye, on your part, are trusting in false words, —To no profit!
9 “‘Za ku yi sata da kisa, ku yi zina da rantsuwar ƙarya, kuna ƙone turare wa Ba’al kuna kuma bin waɗansu allolin da ba ku sani ba,
Are ye to steal, commit murder and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, —and walk after other gods whom ye have not known;
10 sa’an nan ku zo ku tsaya a gabana a wannan gida, wanda ake kira da Sunana, kuna cewa, “An cece mu,” mun dace mu aikata waɗannan abubuwa banƙyama?
And will ye then come in and stand before me in this house whereon my Name hath been called, and say, —We have set ourselves free, —for the purpose of committing all these abominations?
11 Wannan gidan da ake kira da Sunana ya zama kogon’yan fashi ne a gare ku? Amma ina kallo! In ji Ubangiji.
A den of robbers, hath this house on which my Name hath been called become in your own eyes? I, also, —lo! I have seen it Declareth Yahweh.
12 “‘Yanzu ku fita zuwa Shilo inda na fara maishe shi wurin zama don Sunana, ku ga abin da na yi masa saboda muguntar mutanen Isra’ila.
For go I pray you, unto my place which was in Shiloh, Where I made my Name to dwell, at first, —And see what I did to it, because of the wickedness of my people Israel!
13 Yayinda kuke yin dukan waɗannan abubuwa, in ji Ubangiji, na yi muku magana sau da sau, amma ba ku ji ba; na kira ku, amma ba ku amsa ba.
Now, therefore—Because ye have done all these deeds Declareth Yahweh, —And though I spake unto you betimes speaking, Yet ye hearkened not, And though I cried unto you Yet ye answered not,
14 Saboda haka, abin da na yi wa Shilo shi ne yanzu zan yi wa gidan da ake kira da Sunana, haikalin da kuka dogara a kai, wurin da na ba ku da kuma kakanninku.
Therefore will I do to the house Whereon my Name hath been called Wherein, ye, are trusting, Even to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, —Just as I did unto Shiloh;
15 Zan kore ku daga gabana, kamar yadda na yi ga dukan’yan’uwanku, mutanen Efraim.’
And will cast you out from before me, —Just as I have cast out All your brethren, All the seed of Ephraim.
16 “Saboda haka kada ka yi addu’a don wannan mutane ko ka yi wani kuka ko roƙo dominsu, gama ba zan ji ka ba.
Thou, therefore—Do not pray for this people Neither lift up for them cry or prayer Neither intercede with me, —For I am not going to hear thee.
17 Ba ka gani abin da suke yi a biranen Yahuda da kuma a titunan Urushalima?
Dost thou not see what, they, are doing In the cities of Judah, —and In the streets of Jerusalem?
18 Yara sukan tara itace, iyaye suka hura wuta, mata kuma sukan kwaɓa kullu don su yi wa Sarauniyar Sama waina. Sukan miƙa hadayun sha ga waɗansu alloli don su tsokane ni in yi fushi.
The children, gather wood, and The fathers, kindle the fire, and The women, knead dough, —To make sacrificial cakes to the queen of the heavens, And to pour out drink-offerings to other gods, Provoking me to anger!
19 Amma ni ne suke tsokana? In ji Ubangiji Ashe, ba kansu ne suke cuta, suna kunyata kansu ba?
Is it me, they are provoking? Enquireth Yahweh, —Is it not themselves, —unto the shame of their own faces?
20 “‘Saboda haka ga abin da Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka yana cewa fushina da hasalata za su kwarara a wannan wuri, a kan mutum da dabba, a kan itatuwan fili da a kan amfanin gona, za su yi ta kuna, ba kuwa za a kashe ba.
Wherefore, Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh—Lo! mine anger and mine indignation, are about to be poured out upon this place, On man and on beast, and On the tree of the field and On the fruit of the ground, —And it shall burn and shall not be quenched.
21 “‘Ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki, Allah na Isra’ila yana cewa ci gaba, ku ƙara hadayun ƙonawarku da sauran sadakoki ku kuma yi ta cin naman!
Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts God of Israel, —Your ascending-offerings, add ye unto your peace-offerings and eat ye flesh.
22 Gama sa’ad da na fitar da kakanninku daga Masar na kuma yi musu magana, ban ba su dokoki kawai game da hadayun ƙonawa da sadakoki ba,
For I bade not your fathers Neither commanded I them, In the day I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, —Concerning the matter of ascending-offering and peace-offering;
23 amma na ba su wannan umarni cewa ku yi mini biyayya, zan kuwa zama Allahnku ku kuma ku zama mutanena. Ku yi tafiya cikin dukan hanyoyin da na umarce ku, don ku zauna lafiya.
But, this thing, I commanded them—saying, Hearken ye unto my voice, So will I become unto you—a God, And, ye, shall become unto me—a people, —Ye shall therefore walk in all the way that I may command you, To the end it may be well with you;
24 Amma ba su saurara ba, ba su kuwa kula ba; a maimako, suka bi shawarar kansu da ta taurare muguwar zukatansu. Su ja da baya a maimakon yin gaba.
Yet they hearkened not Neither inclined their ear, But walked, In the counsels—In the stubbornness of their own wicked heart; And went backward, and not forward.
25 Daga lokacin da kakanninku suka bar Masar har yă zuwa yau, kullum na yi ta aikan bayina annabawa.
Ever since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt, until this day, Have I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, Daily, betimes, sending them;
26 Amma ba su saurare ni ba, ba su kula ba. Sai suka taurare zukatansu suka aikata mugun abu fiye da na kakanninsu.’
Yet they hearkened not unto me, Neither inclined their ear, —But stiffened their neck, They did more wickedly than their fathers.
27 “Sa’ad da ka faɗa musu wannan duka, ba za su saurare ka ba; sa’ad da ka kira su, ba za su amsa ba.
Therefore shalt thou speak unto them all these words, Though they do not hearken unto thee, —And thou shalt cry aloud unto them Though they do not answer thee; —
28 Saboda haka ka faɗa musu cewa, ‘Wannan ce al’ummar da ba tă yi biyayya ga Ubangiji Allahnta ba, ba kuwa ta karɓi gyara ba. Gaskiya ta ƙare; ta ɓace gaba ɗaya daga leɓunansu.
But thou shalt say unto them, —This, is the nation that hearkened not unto the voice of Yahweh its God, Neither accepted they correction, —Perished is fidelity, And is cut off out of their mouth.
29 “‘Ku aske gashin kanku ku zubar; ku yi makoki a filayen tuddai, gama Ubangiji ya ƙi’yan zamanin nan ya kuma rabu da su saboda fushin da suka ba shi.
Cut thou off thy crown of hair [O Jerusalem], and cast it away, And lift thou up on the bare heights, a dirge, —For Yahweh hath rejected and cast out the generation with which he was wroth.
30 “‘Mutanen Yahuda sun yi mugunta a gabana, in ji Ubangiji. Sun kafa gumakansu masu banƙyama a gidan da ake kira da Sunana suka ƙazantar da shi.
For the sons of Judah, have done, that which was wicked in mine eyes, Declareth Yahweh, —They have set their abominations in the house whereon my Name hath been called to defile it;
31 Sun gida masujadan Tofet a Kwarin Ben Hinnom don miƙa’ya’yansu maza da mata a wuta, abin da ban yi umarni ba, ba kuwa yi tunaninsa ba.
And they have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, To burn up their sons and their daughters in the fire, —Which I commanded not, Neither came it up on my heart,
32 Saboda haka ku yi hankali, kwanaki suna zuwa in ji Ubangiji, sa’ad da mutane ba za su ƙara kira wurin Tofet ko Kwarin Ben Hinnom ba, amma Kwarin Kisa, gama za su binne matattu a Tofet sai har ba sauran wuri.
Therefore, lo! days are coming, Declareth Yahweh, When it shall not be called any more—The Topheth, nor The valley of Ben-hinnom, but The valley of Slaughter, —And they shall bury in Topheth, for want of place;
33 Sa’an nan gawawwakin wannan mutane za su zama abinci ga tsuntsayen sama da kuma namun jeji, ba za a kuwa sami wani da zai kore su ba.
And the dead bodies of this people shall become food, For the bird of the heavens, and For the beast of the earth, —And there shall be none to drive them away.
34 Zan kawo ƙarshen muryar murna da farin ciki da muryar amarya da ango a garuruwan Yahuda da kuma a titunan Urushalima, gama ƙasar za tă zama kufai.
So will I cause to cease, From the cities of Judah, and, From the streets of Jerusalem, The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, The voice of the bridegroom, and The voice of the bride, —For, a desolation, shall the land become.
