Isaiah 8
1 And Yahweh said unto me: Take thee a large tablet, —and write thereon in plain characters, To Maher-shalal-hash-baz. ["Speed-spoil-hurry-prey".]
Ubangiji ya ce mini, “Ka ɗauki naɗaɗɗen littafi mai girma ka yi rubutu a kai da alƙalami kurum, Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz.
2 That I may take in attestation, faithful witnesses, —even Uriah the priest, and Zechariah son of Jeberechiah.
Zan kuma kira Uriya firist da Zakariya ɗan Yeberekiya su zama mini amintattun shaidu.”
3 Then approached I unto the prophetess, and she conceived and bare a son, —and Yahweh said unto me, Call his name Maher-shalal-hash-baz.
Sa’an nan na tafi na yi jima’i da annabiya, ta kuwa yi ciki ta haifi ɗa. Ubangiji kuma ya ce mini, “Raɗa masa suna, Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz.
4 For before the boy shall have knowledge to cry, My father! and, My mother! the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be carried away before the king of Assyria.
Kafin yaron yă san yadda zai ce ‘Babana’ ko ‘Mamana,’ sarkin Assuriya zai kwashe arzikin Damaskus da ganimar Samariya.”
5 And again Yahweh spake unto me yet further saying:
Ubangiji ya sāke yi mini magana ya ce,
6 Because this people hath refused the waters of Shiloah which flow softly, —and are rejoicing with Rezin and the son of Remaliah,
“Domin wannan jama’a ta ƙi natsattsen ruwan rafin Shilowa suka yi ta farin ciki a kan Rezin ɗan Remaliya,
7 now therefore, lo! the Lord is about to bring up against them the waters, strong and many, of the River ["Euphrates"], even the king of Assyria and all his glory, —and he shall rise over all his channels, and flow over all his banks;
saboda haka Ubangiji yana shirin yă kawo musu rigyawar ruwan Kogi, wato, sarkin Assuriya da dukan sojojinsa. Zai cika dukan gaɓoɓinsa, yă kuma malala har zuwa bakin kogi.
8 and roll on throughout Judah—overflow and pass along, till unto the neck, he shall reach, —and it shall be, that, the stretching out of his wings, shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel!
Yă yi ta malala har zuwa cikin Yahuda, yă shafe ta, yana ratsa ta ciki har yă kai kafaɗa. Fikafikansa da ya buɗe za su rufe fāɗin ƙasarka, Ya Immanuwel!”
9 Rage, O ye peoples, —and be overthrown, And give ear, all ye distant parts of the earth, —Gird yourselves and be overthrown, Gird yourselves, and be overthrown:
Ku yi kururuwar yaƙi, ku ƙasashe, ku kuma ji tsoro! Ku saurara, dukanku manisantan ƙasashe. Ku shirya don yaƙi, ku kuma ji tsoro!
10 Determine a plan, —and it shall be frustrated, —Speak a word, and it shall not stand, For With-us-is-GOD!
Ku ƙirƙiro dabarunku, amma ba za su yi nasara ba; ku ƙulla shirye-shiryenku, amma ba za su yi amfani ba, gama Allah yana tare da mu.
11 For, thus, spake Yahweh unto me like a firm grasp of the hand, —when he admonished me, not to walk in the way of this people, saying:
Ubangiji ya yi mini magana da hannunsa mai ƙarfi a kaina, yana yi mini gargaɗi kada in bi hanyar waɗannan mutane. Ya ce,
12 Ye shall not say—A confederacy! of everything of which this people may say. A confederacy! And their fear, shall ye not fear or regard as awful:
“Kada ka kira wani abu makirci game da kome da waɗannan mutane suke kira makirci; kada ji tsoron abin da suke tsoro, kada kuma ka firgita game da shi.
13 Yahweh of hosts, him, shall ye hallow, —And let, him, be your fear, and let, him inspire you with awe;
Ubangiji Maɗaukaki shi ne za ka ɗauka a matsayi mai tsarki, shi ne wanda za ka ji tsoro, shi ne za ka yi rawar jiki a gabansa,
14 So shall he become a hallowed asylum, —But a stone to strike against, and a rock to stumble over unto both houses of Israel A trap and a snare to the dweller in Jerusalem;
zai kuwa kasance a wuri mai tsarki; amma ga dukan gidajen Isra’ila zai zama dutsen da zai sa mutane su yi tuntuɓe dutse kuma da zai sa su fāɗi. Ga dukan mutanen Urushalima kuma zai zama tarko da raga.
15 And many, shall stumble among them, —and fall and be torn, and snared, and captured.
Yawancinsu za su yi tuntuɓe; za su fāɗi a kuwa ragargaza su, za a sa musu tarko a kuma kama su.”
16 Bind thou up the testimony, —Seal the instruction amongst my disciples.
Ɗaura shaidar nan ta gargadi ka kuma yimƙe umarnin Allah a cikin almajiraina.
17 I will therefore long for Yahweh, Who is hiding his face from the house of Jacob, —And will wait, for him.
Zan saurari Ubangiji, wanda ya ɓoye fuskarsa daga gidan Yaƙub. Zan dogara gare shi.
18 Lo! I and the children whom Yahweh hath given me, are for signs and for wonders in Israel, —from Yahweh of hosts, who is making his habitation in Mount Zion.
Ga ni, da yaran da Ubangiji ya ba ni. Mu alamu ne da shaidu a cikin Isra’ila daga Ubangiji Maɗaukaki, wanda yake zama a Dutsen Sihiyona.
19 But, when they say unto you—Seek ye unto the necromancers and unto the wizards, who chirp, and who mutter, Should not a people seek, unto its God? In behalf of the living, [should it seek] unto the dead?
Sa’ad da mutane suka ce muku ku nemi shawarar’yan bori da masu sihiri, waɗanda suke shaƙe murya har ba a jin abin da suke faɗi, bai kamata mutane su nemi shawara daga Allahnsu ba? Me zai sa ku nemi shawara daga matattu a madadin masu rai?
20 To the law and to the testimony! If they speak not according to this word, [It is], because they have no dawning day.
Nemi umarnin Allah da kuma shaidar jan kunne. Duk wanda bai yi magana bisa ga wannan kalma ba, ba su da amfani.
21 Therefore shall they pass through it hard pressed and hungry, —And it shall be when they hunger, then will they rage and revile their king and their god and turn their faces upwards;
Cikin matsuwa da yunwa, za su yi ta kai komo ko’ina a ƙasar; sa’ad da suka ji yunwa, za su yi fushi su tā da idanu sama, su zagi sarkinsu da Allahnsu.
22 And unto the land, shall they look hard, And lo! distress and darkness, the gloom of anguish, driven away!
Sa’an nan za su zura wa ƙasa idanu, abin da za su gani kawai shi ne matsuwa da duhu da kuma abin banrazana, za a kuma jefa su cikin baƙin duhu.
