Irmiya 9
1 Da ma kaina maɓulɓulan ruwa ne idanuna kuma maɓulɓulan hawaye! Da sai in yi kuka dare da rana saboda mutanena da aka kashe.
Oh, that my head were a spring of water, and my eyes a fountain of tears! I would weep day and night over the slain daughter of my people.
2 Da ma a hamada ina da wurin da matafiye za su sauka, don in bar mutanena in tafi in bar su; gama dukansu mazinata ne, taron mutane marasa aminci.
If only I had a traveler’s lodge in the wilderness, I would abandon my people and depart from them, for they are all adulterers, a crowd of faithless people.
3 “Sun tanƙwasa harshensu kamar baka, don su harba ƙarya; ba da gaskiya ba ne suke nasara a cikin ƙasar. Sukan tashi daga wannan zunubi zuwa wancan; ba su san ni ba,” in ji Ubangiji.
“They bend their tongues like bows; lies prevail over truth in the land. For they proceed from evil to evil, and they do not take Me into account,”
4 “Ka yi hankali da abokanka; kada ka amince da’yan’uwanka. Gama kowane ɗan’uwa munafuki ne, kowane aboki kuma mai kushe ne.
“Let everyone guard against his neighbor; do not trust any brother, for every brother deals craftily, and every friend spreads slander.
5 Aboki kan ruɗi aboki, ba mai faɗar gaskiya. Sun koya wa harshensu faɗar ƙarya; sun gajiyar da kansu da yin zunubi.
Each one betrays his friend; no one tells the truth. They have taught their tongues to lie; they wear themselves out committing iniquity.
6 Kai kana zama a tsakiyar ruɗu; cikin ruɗunsu sun ƙi su san ni,” in ji Ubangiji.
You dwell in the midst of deception; in their deceit they refuse to know Me,”
7 Saboda haka ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki yana cewa, “Ga shi zan tace in kuma gwada su, gama me kuwa zan yi saboda zunubin mutanena?
Therefore this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Behold, I will refine them and test them, for what else can I do because of the daughter of My people?
8 Harshensu kibiya ce mai dafi; yana magana da ruɗu. Da bakinsa kowa yana maganar alheri da maƙwabcinsa, amma a zuciyarsa ya sa masa tarko.
Their tongues are deadly arrows; they speak deception. With his mouth a man speaks peace to his neighbor, but in his heart he sets a trap for him.
9 Bai kamata in hukunta su saboda wannan ba?” In ji Ubangiji. “Bai kamata in ɗau fansa a kan irin al’umma kamar wannan ba?”
Should I not punish them for these things? declares the LORD. Should I not avenge Myself on such a nation as this?”
10 Zan yi kuka in yi kururuwa saboda duwatsu in kuma yi makoki game da wuraren kiwon hamada. Sun zama kango ba wanda yake bi cikinta, ba a kuma jin kukan shanu. Tsuntsaye sararin sama sun gudu namun jeji ma duk sun watse.
I will take up a weeping and wailing for the mountains, a dirge over the wilderness pasture, for they have been scorched so no one passes through, and the lowing of cattle is not heard. Both the birds of the air and the beasts have fled; they have gone away.
11 “Zan mai da Urushalima tsibin kufai, wurin zaman diloli; zan kuma lalace garuruwan Yahuda saboda haka ba wanda zai zauna a can.”
“And I will make Jerusalem a heap of rubble, a haunt for jackals; and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant.”
12 Wane mutum ne yana da isashiyar hikimar fahimtar wannan? Wa Ubangiji ya umarta da zai iya yin bayani? Me ya sa aka lalace ƙasar ta zama kufai kamar hamada da ba wanda zai iya ratsa ta?
Who is the man wise enough to understand this? To whom has the mouth of the LORD spoken, that he may explain it? Why is the land destroyed and scorched like a desert, so no one can pass through it?
13 Ubangiji ya ce, “Domin sun bar dokata, wadda na sa a gabansu; ba su yi biyayya da ni ko su bi dokata ba.
And the LORD answered, “It is because they have forsaken My law, which I set before them; they have not walked in it or obeyed My voice.
14 A maimako, sun bi taurin zuciyarsu; suka bi Ba’al, yadda kakanninsu suka koya musu.”
Instead, they have followed the stubbornness of their hearts and gone after the Baals, as their fathers taught them.”
15 Saboda haka, ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki, Allah na Isra’ila yana cewa, “Ga shi zan sa wannan mutane su ci abinci mai ɗaci su kuma sha ruwan dafi.
Therefore this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: “Behold, I will feed this people wormwood and give them poisoned water to drink.
16 Zan watsar da su a cikin al’ummai da su da kakanninsu ba su sani ba, zan kuma fafare su da takobi sai na hallaka su.”
I will scatter them among the nations that neither they nor their fathers have known, and I will send a sword after them until I have finished them off.”
17 Ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki yana cewa, “Ku lura yanzu! Ku kira mata masu makoki su zo ku aika wa gwanaye a cikinsu su zo.
This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Take note, and summon the wailing women; send for the most skillful among them.
18 Bari su zo da sauri su yi kuka a kanmu sai idanunmu sun cika da hawaye giranmu kuma su jiƙe sharkaf.
Let them come quickly and take up a lament over us, that our eyes may overflow with tears, and our eyelids may gush with water.
19 An ji karar kuka daga Sihiyona cewa, ‘Duba yadda muka lalace! Duba irin babban kunyar da muka sha! Dole mu bar ƙasar domin gidajenmu sun lalace.’”
For the sound of wailing is heard from Zion: ‘How devastated we are! How great is our shame! For we have abandoned the land because our dwellings have been torn down.’”
20 Yanzu, ya mata, ku ji maganar Ubangiji; ku buɗe kunnuwanku ga maganar bakina. Ku koya wa’yan matanku yadda za su yi kuka; ku koya wa juna makoki.
Now, O women, hear the word of the LORD. Open your ears to the word of His mouth. Teach your daughters to wail, and one another to lament.
21 Mutuwa ta haura ta tagoginmu ta kuma shiga katangarmu; ta karkashe’ya’ya a tituna ta kuma karkashe samari a dandali.
For death has climbed in through our windows; it has entered our fortresses to cut off the children from the streets, the young men from the town squares.
22 Ka ce, “Ga abin da Ubangiji ya furta, “‘Gawawwakin mutane za su fāɗi kamar juji a fili, kamar hatsin da aka yanka a bayan mai girbi, da ba mai tara su.’”
Declare that this is what the LORD says: “The corpses of men will fall like dung upon the open field, like newly cut grain behind the reaper, with no one to gather it.”
23 Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, “Kada mai hikima ya yi fariya da hikimarsa ko mai ƙarfi ya yi fariya da ƙarfinsa ko mai arziki ya yi fariya da arzikinsa,
This is what the LORD says: “Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, nor the strong man in his strength, nor the wealthy man in his riches.
24 amma bari shi wanda yake taƙama ya yi taƙama da wannan, cewa ya fahimci ya kuma san ni, cewa ni ne Ubangiji, wanda yake yin alheri, gaskiya da kuma adalci a duniya, gama a waɗannan ne nake jin daɗi,” in ji Ubangiji.
But let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the LORD, who exercises loving devotion, justice and righteousness on the earth— for I delight in these things,”
25 “Kwanaki suna zuwa,” in ji Ubangiji, “sa’ad da zan hukunta dukan waɗanda aka yi musu kaciya kawai a jiki,
“Behold, the days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when I will punish all who are circumcised yet uncircumcised:
26 Masar, Yahuda, Edom, Ammon, Mowab da dukan waɗanda suke zaune a hamada a wurare masu nisa. Gama dukan waɗannan al’ummai marasa kaciya ne, har dukan gidan Isra’ila ma marasa kaciya ne a zuciya.”
Egypt, Judah, Edom, Ammon, Moab, and all the inhabitants of the desert who clip the hair of their temples. For all these nations are uncircumcised, and the whole house of Israel is uncircumcised in heart.”
