< Isaiah 58 >
1 Cry out! Cease not! Exalt your voice like a trumpet, and announce to my people their wicked acts, and to the house of Jacob their sins.
“Ku yi ihu da ƙarfi, ba ƙaƙƙautawa. Ku tā da muryarku kamar busar ƙaho. Ku furta wa mutanena tawayensu da kuma ga gidan Yaƙub zunubansu.
2 For they also seek me, from day to day, and they are willing to know my ways, like a nation which has done justice and has not abandoned the judgment of their God. They petition me for judgments of justice. They are willing to draw near to God.
Gama kowace rana suna nemana; suna marmarin sanin hanyoyina, sai ka ce al’ummar da take yin abin da yake daidai ba ta kuma yashe umarnan Allahnta ba. Sun nemi shawarwaran da suke daidai daga gare ni suna kuma marmari Allah ya zo kusa da su.
3 “Why have we fasted, and you have not taken notice? Why have we humbled our souls, and you have not acknowledged it?” Behold, in the day of your fasting, your own will is found, and you petition for payment from all your debtors.
Suna cewa, ‘Don me muka yi azumi, ba ka kuma gani ba? Me ya sa muka ƙasƙantar da kanmu, ba ka kuma lura da wannan ba?’ “Duk da haka a ranar azuminku, kuna yi yadda kuka ga dama kuna kuma zaluntar dukan ma’aikata.
4 Behold, you fast with strife and contention, and you strike with the fist impiously. Do not choose to fast as you have done even to this day. Then your outcry will be heard on high.
Azuminku yakan ƙare a faɗa da kuma hargitsi, kuna ta naushin juna da mugayen naushe-naushe. Ba za ku iya azumi kamar yadda kuke yi a yau ku zaci za a ji muryarku can sama.
5 Is this a fast such as I have chosen: for a man to afflict his soul for a day, to contort his head in a circle, and to spread sackcloth and ashes? Should you call this a fast and a day acceptable to the Lord?
Irin azumin da na zaɓa ke nan, rana guda kawai don mutum ya ƙasƙantar da kansa? Sunkuyar da kanku kamar iwa kawai kuna kuma kwance a tsummoki da toka? Abin da kuke kira azumi ke nan rana yardajje ga Ubangiji?
6 Is not this, instead, the kind of fast that I have chosen? Release the constraints of impiety; relieve the burdens that oppress; freely forgive those who are broken; and break apart every burden.
“Irin azumin da na zaɓa shi ne, a kunce sarƙoƙin rashin adalci a kuma kunce igiyoyin karkiya, a’yantar da waɗanda ake zalunta a kuma kakkarye kowace karkiya?
7 Break your bread with the hungry, and lead the destitute and the homeless into your house. When you see someone naked, cover him, and do not despise your own flesh.
Ba shi ne ku rarraba abincinku da mayunwata ku kuma tanada wa matalauta masu yawo mahalli, sa’ad da kuka ga wanda yake tsirara, ku yi masa sutura, kada kuma ku ba wa namanku da jininku baya?
8 Then your light will break forth like the morning, and your health will improve quickly, and your justice will go before your face, and the glory of the Lord will gather you up.
Sa’an nan haskenku zai keto kamar ketowar alfijir, warkarwarku kuma zai bayyana nan da nan; sa’an nan adalcinku zai tafi a gabanku, ɗaukakar Ubangiji kuma zai tsare ku daga baya.
9 Then you will call, and the Lord will heed; you will cry out, and he will say, “Here I am,” if you take away the chains from your midst, and cease to point your finger and to speak what is not beneficial.
Sa’an nan za ku yi kira, Ubangiji kuma zai amsa; za ku yi kuka don neman taimako, zai kuwa ce ga ni nan. “In kuka kawar da karkiyar zalunci, kuka daina nuna wa juna yatsa da kuma faɗar mugayen maganganu,
10 When you pour out your life for the hungry, and you satisfy the afflicted soul, then your light will rise up in darkness, and your darkness will be like the midday.
in kuma kuka ɗauki lokaci kuka ƙosar da mayunwata kuka kuma biya bukatun waɗanda suke shan tsanani, sa’an nan ne haskenku zai haskaka cikin duhu darenku kuma zai zama kamar tsakar rana.
11 And the Lord will give you rest continually, and he will fill your soul with splendor, and he will free your bones, and you will be like a watered garden and like a fountain of water whose waters will not fail.
Ubangiji zai bishe ku kullum; zai biya muku bukatunku a ƙasa mai zafin rana ya kuma ƙarfafa ƙasusuwanku. Za ku zama kamar lambun da aka yi masa banruwa, kamar rafin da ruwansa ba ya ƙafewa.
12 And places that have been desolate for ages will be built up by you. You will raise a foundation for generation after generation. And you will be called the repairer of hedges, who turns the roadways into quiet places.
Mutanenku za su sāke gina kufai na da su kuma daga tsofaffin harsashai; za a ce da ku Masu Gyaran Katangar da ta Rushe, Masu Farfaɗo da Tituna da kuma Wuraren zama.
13 If you restrain your foot on the Sabbath, from doing your own will on my holy day, and if you call the Sabbath delightful, and the Holy of the Lord glorious, and if you glorify him, while you do not act according to your own ways, and your own will is not found, not even to speak a word,
“In kun kiyaye ƙafafunku daga take Asabbaci da kuma daga aikata abin da kuka gan dama a ranata mai tsarki, in kuka kira Asabbaci ranar murna rana mai tsarki ta Ubangiji kuma mai bangirma, in kuka girmama ta ta wurin ƙin yin abin da kuka gan dama da kuma yin al’amuranku ko yin mugayen maganganu,
14 then you will find delight in the Lord, and I will take you up, above the heights of the earth, and I will nourish you with the inheritance of Jacob, your father. For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.
sa’an nan za ku yi farin ciki a cikin Ubangiji, zan kuma sa ku a kan maɗaukaka ƙasashe ku kuma yi biki a gādon mahaifinku Yaƙub.” Ni Ubangiji ne na faɗa.
