Irmiya 7
1 Maganar da ta zo wa Irmiya ke nan daga Ubangiji.
Yahweh gave me another message. He said to me,
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.
“Go to the entrance of my temple, and give this message to the people: You people of Judah who worship here, listen to this message from 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.
The Commander of the armies of angels says to you, ['If you] stop doing evil things and start doing what is right, I will allow you to remain living in your land.'
4 Kada ku dogara ga maganganun nan na ruɗarwa cewa, “Wannan shi ne haikalin Ubangiji, haikalin Ubangiji, haikalin Ubangiji!”
[But some people] are repeatedly saying to you, ‘The temple of Yahweh is here, [so we will be safe]; [he will not allow us and the temple to be destroyed].’ But do not pay attention to what they say, because they are deceiving you.
5 In dai kuka canja hanyoyinku da ayyukanku kuma kuna aikata adalci da junanku,
[I will act mercifully to you only] if you change your behavior and stop doing evil things, and if you [start to] act fairly/justly toward others,
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,
and if you stop oppressing foreigners [who live in your country], and orphans and widows, and if you stop murdering people, and if you stop worshiping (foreign gods/idols). However, if you continue to do those things, you will be destroyed.
7 to, zan bar ku ku zauna a wannan wuri, a ƙasar da na ba kakanninku har abada abadin.
If you do what I have told you, I will allow you to stay in this land that I promised to your ancestors that it would belong to them [and their descendants] forever.
8 Amma ga shi, kuna dogara ga maganganu na ruɗami marasa amfani.
[People are repeatedly] telling you, [‘The temple is here, so we are safe]’, and you are trusting/believing [that what they are saying is true], but it is a lie. [Those people are deceiving you, and what they say is] worthless.
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,
You think that [RHQ] you can steal things, murder people, commit adultery, tell lies in court, and worship Baal and all those other gods that you did not know about previously,
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 then come here and stand in front of this temple, which is my temple, and say ‘Nothing bad will happen to us!’, while you continue to do all those abominable things.
11 Wannan gidan da ake kira da Sunana ya zama kogon’yan fashi ne a gare ku? Amma ina kallo! In ji Ubangiji.
Do you realize that you are causing this temple, which is my temple, to become like [MET] a den where bandits hide [RHQ]? Do you not know that I see [all the evil things that you people do there]?
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.
[Long ago] I put my Sacred Tent at Shiloh [city], to be a place where people would worship me [MTY]. Think about how I [destroyed it] because my people, the Israeli people, did [many] wicked things there.
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.
And while you were continually doing those wicked things, I told you about it many times, but you refused to listen. I called out to you, but you refused to answer [me].
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, just like I destroyed Shiloh, I will [now] destroy this temple that was built for people to worship me [MTY], this temple that you trust in, that is in this place that I gave to you and your ancestors.
15 Zan kore ku daga gabana, kamar yadda na yi ga dukan’yan’uwanku, mutanen Efraim.’
And I will expel you from this land and send you [to other countries] far away from me, just like I did to your relatives, the people of Israel.”
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.
[Yahweh said to me, “Jeremiah], do not pray for these people [any longer]. Do not cry for them or plead for [me to help] them, because I will not pay any attention to you.
17 Ba ka gani abin da suke yi a biranen Yahuda da kuma a titunan Urushalima?
Do you see [the wicked things] that they are doing in the streets of Jerusalem and in the [other] towns in Judah?
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 firewood and their fathers use it to make fires [on the altars to burn sacrifices]. The women knead/make dough to make cakes to offer to [their goddess Astarte who is called] the Queen of Heaven. And [on their altars] they pour out offerings of wine to [their] other idols. All of those things cause me to become extremely angry!
19 Amma ni ne suke tsokana? In ji Ubangiji Ashe, ba kansu ne suke cuta, suna kunyata kansu ba?
But I am not [RHQ] the one whom they are hurting; they are really [RHQ] hurting themselves [by doing these things for which they should be] very ashamed!”
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.
So Yahweh the Lord says this: “Because I am extremely angry with [what happens at] this place, I will punish these people severely [MTY]; my being very angry will be [like] [MET] a fire that will not be extinguished, and I will destroy the people, [their] animals, [their] fruit trees, and [their] crops.”
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!
Therefore, this is what the Commander of the armies of angels says: “Take away [IRO] your offerings that you bring to burn completely on your altars and your [other] sacrifices; [don’t give them to me]; eat them [yourselves]!
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,
When I led your ancestors out of Egypt, it was not offerings to be completely burned on the altar or [other] sacrifices that I wanted from them.
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.
What I told them was, ‘Obey me; [if you do that], I will be your God and you will be my people. If you do the things that I want you to do, everything will go well for 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.
But your ancestors would not pay any attention [DOU] to me. They continued to do [the evil things] that they wanted to do, everything that in their stubborn inner beings they desired to do. Instead of coming closer to me, they went further away from me.
25 Daga lokacin da kakanninku suka bar Masar har yă zuwa yau, kullum na yi ta aikan bayina annabawa.
From the day that your ancestors left Egypt until now, I have continued to send my prophets to you.
26 Amma ba su saurare ni ba, ba su kula ba. Sai suka taurare zukatansu suka aikata mugun abu fiye da na kakanninsu.’
But you, [my people], have not listened to me or paid attention to what I said; you have been stubborn, and you have done more sinful things than your ancestors did.”
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.
[Then Yahweh said to me], “When you tell all this to my people, they will not listen to you. When you call to them, they will not answer.
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.
Say to them, ‘You people [of Judah] have not obeyed Yahweh, your God; you have not accepted it when he tried to correct you. No one among you is truthful; you do not say anything that is true; [you speak only lies].’
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.
[So, tell them to] cut off their hair [to show that they are mourning]; tell them to go up into the hills and sing a sad funeral song, because I have completely rejected [DOU] this generation [of people] who have made me angry.”
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.
Yahweh says this: “The people of Judah have done many things that I say are evil. They have set up their disgusting idols in my temple, causing it to become an unacceptable [place to worship me].
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.
They have built altars at Topheth in Ben-Hinnom Valley [outside Jerusalem], and they sacrifice their sons and daughters on those altars. I never commanded them to do that; I never even thought that anyone would do that.
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.
So they should beware! There will be a time when that place will no longer be called Topheth or the Hinnom Valley; instead, it will be called the Valley of Slaughter. There will be a huge number of people who will be buried there, with the result that there will be no space to bury more bodies.
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.
The corpses of my people that are [not buried and are] left on the ground will be eaten by vultures and wild animals, and there will be no one to shoo/chase 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.
There will be no one singing and laughing any more in the streets of Jerusalem; there will be no more joyful voices of bridegrooms and brides in Judah, because the land will be completely destroyed.”
