Isaiah 9
1 Nevertheless, there will be no more gloom for those in distress. In the past He humbled the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the future He will honor the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations:
Duk da haka, babu sauran baƙin ciki ga waɗanda suke shan azaba. Dā ya ƙasƙantar da ƙasar kabilan Zebulun da ƙasar Naftali, amma nan gaba zai girmama Galili na Al’ummai, ta hanyar teku wadda take ta Urdun.
2 The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death, a light has dawned.
Mutanen da suke tafiya cikin duhu sun ga babban haske; a kan waɗanda suke zama a ƙasar inuwar mutuwa haske ya haskaka.
3 You have enlarged the nation and increased its joy. The people rejoice before You as they rejoice at harvest time, as men rejoice in dividing the plunder.
Ka fadada al’umma ka kuma ƙara farin cikinsu; suna farin ciki a gabanka yadda mutane sukan yi murna a lokacin girbi, kamar yadda mutane sukan yi farin ciki sa’ad da suke raba ganima.
4 For as in the day of Midian You have shattered the yoke of their burden, the bar across their shoulders, and the rod of their oppressor.
Gama kamar yadda yake a kwanakin da aka ci Midiyan da yaƙi, kuka ji tsoro nauyin da ya nawaita musu, sandar da yake a kafaɗunsu, sandar masu zaluncinsu.
5 For every trampling boot of battle and every garment rolled in blood will be burned as fuel for the fire.
Kowane takalmin jarumin da aka yi amfani da shi a yaƙi da kuma kowane rigar da ka naɗe cikin jini zai kasance an ƙone shi zai kuma zama abin hura wuta.
6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government will be upon His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Gama a gare mu an haifa mana yaro, a gare mu an ba da ɗa, gwamnati za tă kasance a kafaɗarsa. Za a ce da shi Mashawarci Mai Banmamaki, Allah Maɗaukaki Uban Madawwami, Sarkin Salama.
7 Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish and sustain it with justice and righteousness from that time and forevermore. The zeal of the LORD of Hosts will accomplish this.
Game da girmar gwamnatinsa da salama babu iyaka. Zai gāji sarki Dawuda, yă yi mulki a matsayinsa, zai kafa mulkinsa a kan adalci da gaskiya, tun daga yanzu har zuwa ƙarshen zamani. Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ne ya yi niyyar aikata wannan duka.
8 The Lord has sent a message against Jacob, and it has fallen upon Israel.
Ubangiji ya aika da saƙon gāba da Yaƙub; zai auka wa Isra’ila.
9 All the people will know it— Ephraim and the dwellers of Samaria. With pride and arrogance of heart they will say:
Dukan mutane za su san shi, Efraim da mazaunan Samariya, waɗanda suke magana da fariya suna kuma ɗaga kai,
10 “The bricks have fallen, but we will rebuild with finished stone; the sycamores have been felled, but we will replace them with cedars.”
“Tubalai sun zube a ƙasa, amma za mu sāke gina su da dutse; an sassare itatuwan ɓaure, amma za mu maya su da al’ul.”
11 The LORD has raised up the foes of Rezin against him and joined his enemies together.
Amma Ubangiji ya ƙarfafa maƙiyan Rezin gāba da su ya kuma ingiza abokan gāba.
12 Aram from the east and Philistia from the west have devoured Israel with open mouths. Despite all this, His anger is not turned away; His hand is still upraised.
Arameyawa daga gabas da Filistiyawa daga yamma sun cinye Isra’ila da buɗaɗɗen baki. Duk da haka, fushinsa bai huce ba, hannunsa har yanzu yana a miƙe.
13 But the people did not return to Him who struck them; they did not seek the LORD of Hosts.
Amma mutanen ba su juyo wurin wanda ya buge su ba, balle su nemi Ubangiji Maɗaukaki.
14 So the LORD will cut off Israel’s head and tail, both palm branch and reed in a single day.
Saboda haka Ubangiji zai yanke Isra’ila kai da wutsiya, da reshen dabino da iwa a rana guda;
15 The head is the elder and honorable man, and the tail is the prophet who teaches lies.
dattawa da manyan mutane su ne kai, annabawa waɗanda suke koyar da ƙarairayi su ne wutsiya.
16 For those who guide this people mislead them, and those they mislead are swallowed up.
Waɗanda suke jagorar wannan mutane suna ɓad da su, su ne waɗanda ake jagora aka sa suka kauce.
17 Therefore the Lord takes no pleasure in their young men; He has no compassion on their fatherless and widows. For every one of them is godless and wicked, and every mouth speaks folly. Despite all this, His anger is not turned away; His hand is still upraised.
Saboda haka Ubangiji ba zai ji daɗin matasa ba, ba kuwa zai ji tausayin marayu da gwauraye ba, gama kowa marar sanin Allah ne da kuma mugu, kowane baki yana faɗin mugayen maganganu. Duk da haka, fushinsa bai huce ba, hannunsa har yanzu yana a miƙe.
18 For wickedness burns like a fire that consumes the thorns and briers and kindles the forest thickets which roll upward in billows of smoke.
Tabbatacce mugunta tana ƙuna kamar wuta; tana cin ƙayayyuwa da sarƙaƙƙiya, ta sa wuta a jeji mai itatuwa masu yawa, don yă yi murtuke hayaƙi har zuwa sama.
19 By the wrath of the LORD of Hosts the land is scorched, and the people are fuel for the fire. No man even spares his brother.
Ta wurin fushin Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ƙasar za tă ci wuta mutane kuma za su zama abin hura wutar, babu wanda zai ji tausayin ɗan’uwansa.
20 They carve out what is on the right, but they are still hungry; they eat what is on the left, but they are still not satisfied. Each one devours the flesh of his own offspring.
A dama za su ci, amma su ci gaba da jin yunwa; a hagu za su ci, amma ba za su ƙoshi ba. Kowa zai mai da naman’ya’yansa abinci.
21 Manasseh devours Ephraim, and Ephraim Manasseh; together they turn against Judah. Despite all this, His anger is not turned away; His hand is still upraised.
Manasse zai mai da Efraim abinci, Efraim kuma yă cinye Manasse; tare za su yi gāba da Yahuda. Duk da haka, fushinsa bai huce ba, hannunsa har yanzu yana a miƙe.
