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.
O that my head were waters, And mine eyes a fountain of tears, That I might 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.
O that I had a traveller's lodge in the wilderness, That I might leave my people, and go from them! For they are all adulterers; An assembly of revolters.
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 their bows, for lies, And not by truth do they grow mighty in the earth; They proceed from wickedness to wickedness, And have no regard to me, saith Jehovah.
4 “Ka yi hankali da abokanka; kada ka amince da’yan’uwanka. Gama kowane ɗan’uwa munafuki ne, kowane aboki kuma mai kushe ne.
Be on your guard each one against his neighbor, And trust ye not in any brother; For every brother will supplant, And every neighbor will slander.
5 Aboki kan ruɗi aboki, ba mai faɗar gaskiya. Sun koya wa harshensu faɗar ƙarya; sun gajiyar da kansu da yin zunubi.
They deceive every one his neighbor, And do not speak the truth; They have accustomed their tongues to speak lies; They weary themselves in doing iniquity.
6 Kai kana zama a tsakiyar ruɗu; cikin ruɗunsu sun ƙi su san ni,” in ji Ubangiji.
Thy habitation is in the midst of deceit, [[O prophet!]] Through deceit they refuse to know me, saith Jehovah.
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 thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Behold I will melt them and try them; For what else can I do on account 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 deadly arrow; Every one of them speaketh treachery; With their mouth they speak peace to their neighbor, But in their heart they lay snares 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 punish them for these things? saith Jehovah; Shall I not be avenged 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.
For the mountains will I lift up a weeping and wailing, And for the pastures of the plains a lamentation, For they are burned up, so that none can pass through them; No more is heard the voice of the cattle; Both the birds of the heavens and the beasts have fled, and are gone.
11 “Zan mai da Urushalima tsibin kufai, wurin zaman diloli; zan kuma lalace garuruwan Yahuda saboda haka ba wanda zai zauna a can.”
I will make Jerusalem heaps of stones, The dwelling-place of jackals; And I will make the cities of Judah desolate, without an 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, that he may understand this, And he to whom the mouth of the Lord hath spoken, that he may declare it? Why is it that the land perisheth, That it is burned up like a desert, which none passeth through?
13 Ubangiji ya ce, “Domin sun bar dokata, wadda na sa a gabansu; ba su yi biyayya da ni ko su bi dokata ba.
Jehovah himself hath said: It is because they have forsaken my law, Which I set before them, And have not hearkened to my voice, Nor walked according to it;
14 A maimako, sun bi taurin zuciyarsu; suka bi Ba’al, yadda kakanninsu suka koya musu.”
But have walked after the obstinacy of their own heart, And 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 thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will feed this people with wormwood, And give them water of hemlock 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 also scatter them among nations Which neither they nor their fathers have known, And I will send after them the sword, Till I have made an end of them.
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 saith Jehovah of hosts: Consider ye, and call for the mourning women, that they may come, And send to the skilful ones, that they may come;
18 Bari su zo da sauri su yi kuka a kanmu sai idanunmu sun cika da hawaye giranmu kuma su jiƙe sharkaf.
Let them make haste, and lift up a wailing for us, That our eyes may run down with tears, And our eyelids gush forth with waters.
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.’”
Behold, a voice of wailing is heard from Zion: “How are we spoiled! How are we put to shame! We must leave our native land; They have cast down our habitations.”
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.
Hear, O ye women, the word of Jehovah! Let your ear receive the word of his mouth! Teach your daughters a lamentation, And every one her companion a mournful dirge!
21 Mutuwa ta haura ta tagoginmu ta kuma shiga katangarmu; ta karkashe’ya’ya a tituna ta kuma karkashe samari a dandali.
For death cometh in through our windows, It entereth our palaces; It cutteth off the children from the street, And the young men from the public places.
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 it, saith Jehovah! The dead bodies of men shall fall as dung upon the open field, And as the handful behind the reaper, Which none gathereth up.
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 saith Jehovah: Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, Nor let the mighty glory in his might, Nor let the rich 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 let him that glorieth glory in this, That he hath regard to me, and knoweth me, That I am Jehovah, who exercise loving-kindness, Justice, and righteousness upon the earth; For in these do I delight, saith Jehovah.
25 “Kwanaki suna zuwa,” in ji Ubangiji, “sa’ad da zan hukunta dukan waɗanda aka yi musu kaciya kawai a jiki,
Behold the days come, saith Jehovah, That I will punish all the circumcised with the 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, and Judah, and Edom, And the sons of Ammon and Moab, And all with shaven cheeks, that dwell in the wilderness. For all the nations are uncircumcised, And all the house of Israel is uncircumcised in heart.
