< Irmiya 8 >
1 “‘A wancan lokaci, in ji Ubangiji, za a fitar da ƙasusuwan sarakuna da na shugabannin Yahuda, ƙasusuwan firistoci da na annabawa, da kuma ƙasusuwan mutanen Urushalima daga kaburbura.
“At that time,” says the LORD, “they will bring the bones of the kings of Judah, the bones of his princes, the bones of the priests, the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves.
2 Za a shimfiɗa su a rana da wata da kuma dukan taurarin sammai, waɗanda suka ƙaunata suka kuma bauta wa, waɗanda suka bi suka nemi shawarar suka kuma yi wa sujada. Ba za a tattara su ko a binne su ba, amma za su zama kamar juji a jibge a ƙasa.
They will spread them before the sun, the moon, and all the army of the sky, which they have loved, which they have served, after which they have walked, which they have sought, and which they have worshiped. They will not be gathered or be buried. They will be like dung on the surface of the earth.
3 Duk inda na kore su zuwa, dukan waɗanda suka ragu na wannan muguwar al’umma za su gwammaci mutuwa da rai, in ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki.’
Death will be chosen rather than life by all the residue that remain of this evil family, that remain in all the places where I have driven them,” says the LORD of Armies.
4 “Fada musu cewa, ‘Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, “‘Sa’ad da mutane suka fāɗi, ba sa tashi ne? Sa’ad da mutum ya kauce, ba ya dawowa?
“Moreover you shall tell them, ‘The LORD says: “‘Do men fall, and not rise up again? Does one turn away, and not return?
5 To, me ya sa waɗannan mutane suka kauce? Me ya sa Urushalima kullum take kaucewa? Sun manne wa ƙarya; suka ƙi su dawo.
Why then have the people of Jerusalem fallen back by a perpetual backsliding? They cling to deceit. They refuse to return.
6 Na saurara sosai, amma ba su faɗi wata maganar kirki ba. Ba wanda ya tuba daga muguntarsa, sai ma cewa yake, “Me na yi?” Kowa ta kai-ta-kai yake kamar dokin da ya kutsa kai a fagen fama.
I listened and heard, but they did not say what is right. No one repents of his wickedness, saying, “What have I done?” Everyone turns to his course, as a horse that rushes headlong in the battle.
7 Ko shamuwa ta sararin sama ma takan san lokutan da aka tsara mata, kurciya, mashirare da kuma zalɓe sukan lura da lokacin ƙauransu. Amma mutanena ba su san abubuwan da Ubangiji yake bukata ba.
Yes, the stork in the sky knows her appointed times. The turtledove, the swallow, and the crane observe the time of their coming; but my people do not know the LORD’s law.
8 “‘Yaya za ku ce, “Muna da hikima, gama muna da dokar Ubangiji,” alhali alƙalamin ƙarya na magatakarda ya yi ƙarya?
“‘How do you say, “We are wise, and the LORD’s law is with us”? But, behold, the false pen of the scribes has made that a lie.
9 Za a kunyatar da masu hikima; za su yi fargaba a kuma kama su. Da yake sun ƙi maganar Ubangiji, wace irin hikima kuka ce kuke da ita?
The wise men are disappointed. They are dismayed and trapped. Behold, they have rejected the LORD’s word. What kind of wisdom is in them?
10 Saboda haka zan ba da matansu ga waɗansu gonakinsu kuma ga waɗansu da suka ci da yaƙi. Tun daga ƙarami har zuwa babba, kowannensu yana haɗamar cin muguwar riba; har da annabawa da firistoci ma, kowannensu yana ƙarya.
Therefore I will give their wives to others and their fields to those who will possess them. For everyone from the least even to the greatest is given to covetousness; from the prophet even to the priest everyone deals falsely.
11 Sukan ɗaura mikin mutanena sai ka ce mikin ba shi da matsala. Suna cewa, “Lafiya, Lafiya,” alhali kuwa ba lafiya.
They have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, “Peace, peace,” when there is no peace.
12 Sukan ji kunyar halin banƙyamarsu kuwa? Sam, ba su da kunya ko kaɗan; ba su ma san yadda za su ji kunya ba. Saboda haka sukan fāɗi tare da fāɗaɗɗu; za su fāɗi sa’ad da aka hukunta su, in ji Ubangiji.
Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? No, they were not at all ashamed. They could not blush. Therefore they will fall among those who fall. In the time of their visitation they will be cast down, says the LORD.
13 “‘Zan ƙwace girbinsu, in ji Ubangiji. Ba a za sami inabi a kuringa ba. Ba za a sami’ya’ya a itacen ɓaure ba, ganyayensu kuwa za su bushe. Abin da na ba su za a ƙwace.’”
“‘I will utterly consume them, says the LORD. No grapes will be on the vine, no figs on the fig tree, and the leaf will fade. The things that I have given them will pass away from them.’”
14 Me ya sa muke zama a nan? Mu tattaru! Mu gudu zuwa birane masu katanga mu mutu a can! Gama Ubangiji Allahnmu ya ƙaddara mana mutuwa ya kuma ba mu ruwan dafi mu sha, domin mun yi masa zunubi.
“Why do we sit still? Assemble yourselves! Let’s enter into the fortified cities, and let’s be silent there; for the LORD our God has put us to silence, and given us poisoned water to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD.
15 Mun sa zuciya ga salama amma ba lafiya, mun sa zuciya ga lokacin warkarwa amma sai ga razana.
We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of healing, and behold, dismay!
16 Daga Dan ana jin tirjin dawakan abokin gāba; da jin haniniyar ingarmunsu dukan ƙasar ta girgiza. Sun zo su cinye ƙasar da kome da yake cikinta, birni da dukan mazaunanta.
The snorting of his horses is heard from Dan. The whole land trembles at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones; for they have come, and have devoured the land and all that is in it, the city and those who dwell therein.”
17 “Duba, zan aika macizai masu dafi a cikinku, kāsā, waɗanda ba su da maƙari, za su kuwa sassare ku,” in ji Ubangiji.
“For, behold, I will send serpents, adders among you, which will not be charmed; and they will bite you,” says the LORD.
18 Ya mai ta’aziyyata a cikin baƙin ciki, zuciyata ta ɓaci ƙwarai.
Oh that I could comfort myself against sorrow! My heart is faint within me.
19 Ka saurari kukan mutanena daga ƙasa mai nisa suna cewa, “Ubangiji ba ya a Sihiyona ne? Sarkinta ba ya can ne kuma?” “Me ya sa suka tsokane ni da gumakansu har na yi fushi, da baƙin gumakansu marasa amfani?”
Behold, the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people from a land that is very far off: “Is not the LORD in Zion? Is not her King in her?” “Why have they provoked me to anger with their engraved images, and with foreign idols?”
20 “Girbi ya wuce, damuna ta ƙare, ba a kuwa cece mu ba.”
“The harvest is past. The summer has ended, and we are not saved.”
21 Da yake an ragargazar da mutanena, an ragargaza ni ke nan; na yi kuka, tsoro ya kama ni.
For the hurt of the daughter of my people, I am hurt. I mourn. Dismay has taken hold of me.
22 Ba magani ne a Gileyad? Ba likita ne a can? To, me ya sa ba warkarwa wa raunin mutanena?
Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
