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.
“Who will provide water for my head, and a fount of tears for my eyes? And then I will weep day and night for the slain of the 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.
Who will provide me, in the wilderness, with a lodging place along the road? And then I will forsake my people, and withdraw from them. For they are all adulterers, a union of transgressors.
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.
And they have bent their tongue, like a bow, to send forth lies and not the truth. They have been strengthened upon the earth. And they have gone from one evil to another. But they have not known me, says the Lord.
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 each one guard himself against his neighbor, and let him have no trust in any brother of his. For every brother will utterly overthrow, and every friend will advance deceitfully.
5 Aboki kan ruɗi aboki, ba mai faɗar gaskiya. Sun koya wa harshensu faɗar ƙarya; sun gajiyar da kansu da yin zunubi.
And a man will deride his brother, and they will not speak the truth. For they have taught their tongue to speak lies; they have labored to commit iniquity.
6 Kai kana zama a tsakiyar ruɗu; cikin ruɗunsu sun ƙi su san ni,” in ji Ubangiji.
Your habitation is in the midst of deceit. In their deceitfulness, they have refused to know me, says the Lord.”
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?
Because of this, thus says the Lord of hosts: “Behold, I will refine them, and I will test them. For what else can I do before the face 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 tongue is a wounding arrow; it has spoken deceit. With his mouth, he speaks peace with his friend, and then he secretly lies in ambush 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?”
Shall I not visit upon them concerning these things, says the Lord? Or shall my soul not take vengeance on a nation of this kind?
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 weeping and lamentation over the mountains, and mourning over the beautiful places in the desert. For they have been scorched because no man is passing through them. And they have not heard the voice of any occupant. From the birds of the air, even to the cattle, they have migrated and withdrawn.
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 into piles of sand and into a lair for serpents. And I will make the cities of Judah desolate, so much so that there will be no 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 wise man who understands this, and to whom a word from the mouth of the Lord may be given, so that he may announce this: why the land has perished, and has been scorched like a desert, so much so that no one passes 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 said: “It is because they have abandoned my law, which I gave to them, and they have not listened to my voice, and they have not walked by it.
14 A maimako, sun bi taurin zuciyarsu; suka bi Ba’al, yadda kakanninsu suka koya musu.”
And they have gone after the depravity of their own heart, and after Baal, which they learned from their fathers.”
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.
For this reason, thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Behold, I will feed this people with absinthe, and I will give them the water of gall 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.”
And I will disperse them among nations, which they and their fathers have not known. And I will send the sword after them, until they are consumed.”
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.
Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Consider and call upon the women mourners, and let them approach. And send to those women who are wise, and let them hurry.
18 Bari su zo da sauri su yi kuka a kanmu sai idanunmu sun cika da hawaye giranmu kuma su jiƙe sharkaf.
‘Let them hasten to take up a lamentation over us. Let our eyes shed tears, and our eyelids run 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 a voice of lamentation has been heard from Zion: ‘How is it that we have been devastated and greatly confounded? Our tabernacles have been thrown down because we have forsaken the land.’”
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.
“Therefore, listen, O women, to the word of the Lord! And let your ears take up the word of his mouth. And teach your daughters to lament. And let each one teach her neighbor to mourn:
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 through our windows. It has entered our houses to perish the little children from the outdoors, the youths from the streets.’”
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.’”
“Speak: Thus says the Lord: And the corpses of men will fall like manure over the face of the countryside, and like hay behind the back of the reaper, and there will be 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,
Thus says the Lord: “The wise man should not glory in his wisdom, and the strong man should not glory in his strength, and the rich man should not glory 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 he who glories should glory in this: to know me and to know me well. For I am the Lord, who accomplishes mercy and judgment and justice upon the earth. For these things are pleasing to me, says the Lord.
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 approaching, says the Lord, when I will visit upon all who are 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.”
upon Egypt, and upon Judah, and upon Edom, and upon the sons of Ammon, and upon Moab, and upon all who have shaved off their hair, living in the desert. For all the nations are uncircumcised in body, but all the house of Israel is uncircumcised in heart.”
