Isaiah 17
1 A message about Damascus. Look, Damascus will cease to exist as city. Instead it will become a pile of ruins.
Abin da Allah ya faɗa game da Damaskus. “Duba, Damaskus ba za tă ƙara zama birni ba amma za tă zama tsibin juji.
2 The towns of Aroer will be abandoned. Flocks will live in the streets and rest there, because there won't be anyone to chase them away.
Za a watse a bar biranen Arower a bar wa tumaki da shanu, waɗanda za su kwanta, ba tare da wani wanda zai tsorata su ba.
3 The fortified city will disappear from Ephraim, Damascus will no longer be a kingdom, and those that are left of the Arameans will be like the lost glory of Israel, declares the Lord Almighty.
Birni mai katanga za tă ɓace daga Efraim, ikon sarauta kuma daga Damaskus; raguwar Aram za tă zama kamar darajar Isra’ila,” in ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki.
4 At that time the glory of Jacob will fade away; he will lose his strength.
“A wannan rana ɗaukakar Yaƙub za tă ƙare; kitsen jikinsa zai lalace.
5 It will look as empty as fields after reapers have harvested the grain, gathering up the grain in their arms. It will be like when people pick the heads of grain in the Valley of Rephaim.
Zai zama kamar sa’ad da mai girbi ya tara hatsin da yake tsaye ya kuma girbe hatsin da hannunsa kamar sa’ad da mutum ya yi kala kawunan hatsi a Kwarin Refayim.
6 Yet there will be some left behind, like an olive tree that has been shaken—two or three ripe olives are left at the top of the tree, four or five on its lower branches, declares the Lord, the God of Israel.
Duk da haka waɗansu kala za su ragu, sai ka ce sa’ad da an karkaɗe itace zaitun, aka bar’ya’yan zaitun biyu ko uku a can ƙwanƙolin rassan, ko kuma aka bar huɗu ko biyar a rassa na gefe na itace mai’ya’ya,” in ji Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila.
7 At that time people will pay attention to their Creator and look to the Holy One of Israel.
A wannan rana mutane za su nemi Mahaliccinsu su kuma juye idanunsu ga Mai Tsarkin nan na Isra’ila.
8 They won't believe in the altars they built and the idols they made; they will not look to the Asherah poles or the altars of incense.
Ba za su dubi bagade ba, waɗanda suke aikin hannuwansu, ba za su kuma kula da ginshiƙan Ashera ba da kuma bagadan turaren da yatsotsinsu suka yi.
9 At that time their fortified cities will be like places left to be taken over by bushes and trees, just as they were previously abandoned when the Israelites invaded. The country will become completely desolate.
A wannan rana biranensu masu ƙarfi, waɗanda suka bari saboda Isra’ilawa, za su zama kamar wuraren da aka ƙyale suka zama kufai a jeji. Za su kuma zama kango.
10 You have forgotten the God who saves you; you have not remembered the Rock who protects you. So, even though you plant beautiful plants and grow exotic vines,
Kun manta da Allah Mai Cetonku; ba ku tuna da Dutse, kagararku ba. Saboda haka, ko da yake kun fita ku shuka tsire-tsire mafi kyau kuka kuma shuka inabin da aka sayo daga waje,
11 even though you make them grow on the day that you plant them, and have them blossom in the morning that you sow them, your harvest will heap of trouble on a day of grief and pain that cannot be cured.
ko da yake a ranar kun shuka su, kuka sa su yi girma, da safe kuma sa’ad da kuka shuka su, kuka sa suka yi toho suka yi fure, duk da haka girbin ba zai zama kome ba a ranar cuta da zafin da ba ta da magani.
12 Disaster is coming to the many nations that growl, growling like the raging sea! Disaster is coming to the peoples who roar, roaring like thundering waters!
Kash, ga hayaniyar al’ummai masu yawa suna hayaniya kamar rurin teku! Kash, ga fushin mutane suna ruri kamar rugugi kamar manyan ruwaye!
13 The nations roar like the roaring of crashing waves. But he confronts them, and they run far away, blown by the wind like chaff on the mountains, like tumbleweeds driven by a storm.
Ko da yake mutane suna ruri kamar sukuwar raƙuman ruwa, sa’ad da ya tsawata musu za su gudu can da nisa, aka kore su kamar yayinda iska ya hura a kan tuddai, kamar tattake kuma a cikin guguwa.
14 Sudden terror comes in the evening! By morning, they're gone! This is what happens to those who loot us, the fate of those who plunder us.
Da yamma, sai razana ba tsammani! Kafin safiya, duk sun ɓace! Wannan ne rabon waɗanda suka washe mu, rabon waɗanda suka yi mana ƙwace.
