< 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, saith Jehovah, Shall the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of the princes, The bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, And the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Be cast forth from 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.
And they shall be spread before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, Which they have loved, and which they have served, and after which they have walked; Which they have consulted and have worshipped; They shall not be gathered, nor be buried; They shall be as dung upon the face of the ground.
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.’
And death shall be chosen rather than life By all the residue of them that remain of this evil race, Which remain in all the places whither I have driver them, Saith Jehovah of hosts.
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?
Thou shalt also say to them, Thus saith Jehovah, Doth a man fall, and not rise again? Doth one turn aside from the way, 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 hath this people, Why hath Jerusalem, completely revolted? They hold fast 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 have listened and heard, But they speak not aright; No one repenteth of his wickedness, Saying, “What have I done?” Every one runneth at full speed in his rebellion, As a horse rusheth to 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.
Even the stork in the heavens knoweth her times, And the turtle-dove and the swallow and the crane observe the season of their coming, But my people regard not the laws of Jehovah.
8 “‘Yaya za ku ce, “Muna da hikima, gama muna da dokar Ubangiji,” alhali alƙalamin ƙarya na magatakarda ya yi ƙarya?
How is it that ye say, “We are wise, We possess the law of Jehovah”? Behold, the false pen of the scribes Hath turned it into falsehood.
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 shall be confounded; They shall be dismayed and ensnared; Behold, they have rejected the word of Jehovah, And what wisdom is there 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 will I give their wives to others, And their fields to plunderers. For from the least of them even to the greatest, Every one is greedy of gain, Prophet and priest alike, Every one of them practiseth deceit.
11 Sukan ɗaura mikin mutanena sai ka ce mikin ba shi da matsala. Suna cewa, “Lafiya, Lafiya,” alhali kuwa ba lafiya.
They heal the wound 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.
Are they ashamed, that they have done abominable things? Nay, they are not at all ashamed; They know not how to blush. Therefore shall they fall with them that fall; At the time when I punish them, They shall be cast down, saith Jehovah.
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, saith Jehovah; There shall be no grapes on the vine, Nor shall there be from the fig-tree; Even the leaf shall be withered; For I will send those that shall overrun 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 remain here?” [[shall they say.]] “Assemble yourselves and let us go into the fortified cities. And let us there wait in silence! For Jehovah our God hath put us to silence, And given us the water of hemlock to drink, Because we have sinned against Jehovah.
15 Mun sa zuciya ga salama amma ba lafiya, mun sa zuciya ga lokacin warkarwa amma sai ga razana.
We look for peace, but no good cometh; For a time of deliverance, and behold, terror!”
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.
From Dan is heard the snorting of their horses, At the sound of the neighing of their steeds the whole land trembleth; They come and devour the land, and all that is in it; The city, and them that 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.
Behold I send against you serpents, Basilisks, which cannot be charmed, And they shall bite you, saith Jehovah.
18 Ya mai ta’aziyyata a cikin baƙin ciki, zuciyata ta ɓaci ƙwarai.
O where is consolation for my 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 cry of the daughter of my people from a far country! “Is not Jehovah in Zion? Is her King there no more?” Why then have they provoked me by their graven images, And their foreign vanities?
20 “Girbi ya wuce, damuna ta ƙare, ba a kuwa cece mu ba.”
The harvest is passed, the summer is ended, And we are not delivered.
21 Da yake an ragargazar da mutanena, an ragargaza ni ke nan; na yi kuka, tsoro ya kama ni.
For the wound of the daughter of my people am I wounded; I mourn; amazement hath 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 are not the wounds of my people healed?
