Isaiah 42
1 [Yahweh says, “I want you people to know about] my servant, whom I encourage. I have chosen him, and I am pleased with him. I have given him my Spirit, and he will make certain that all the people-groups do what is right/just.
“Ga bawana, wanda na ɗaukaka, zaɓaɓɓen nan nawa wanda nake jin daɗi; Zan sa Ruhuna a cikinsa zai kuwa kawo adalci ga al’ummai.
2 He will not [show his power by] shouting [DOU] or by talking very loudly.
Ba zai yi ihu ko ya tā da murya, ko ya daga muryarsa a tituna ba.
3 He will not get rid of [anyone who is weak like] [MET] a smashed reed, and he will not [end the life of anyone who is helpless like] [MET] someone would extinguish a dimly burning wick [of an oil lamp]. He will faithfully/continually make sure that judges decide cases justly.
Iwan da ta tanƙware ba zai karye ba, ba zai kashe lagwani mai hayaƙi ba. Cikin aminci zai kawo adalci;
4 He will not become exhausted or discouraged all during the time that he is causing things to be done justly throughout the earth. Even [people living on the islands in] [MTY] the oceans will confidently wait for [him to teach them] his laws.”
ba zai kāsa ko ya karai ba sai ya kafa adalci a duniya. Cikin dokarsa tsibirai za su sa zuciya.”
5 Yahweh our God created the sky and spread it out. He also created the earth and everything on it. He gives breath to all the people on the earth; he causes them to live [DOU]. [And he is the one who says to his special servant],
Ga abin da Allah Ubangiji ya ce, shi da ya halicci sammai ya kuma miƙe su, wanda ya shimfiɗa duniya da dukan abin da ya fito cikinta, wanda ya ba wa mutanenta numfashi, da rai ga waɗanda suke tafiya a kanta.
6 “I, Yahweh, have chosen you to show people that I always act righteously/fairly. I will grasp your hand and protect you, and I will present you to [my Israeli] people to be the one who will put into effect my agreement with them. [You will be like] a light to the [other] nations.
“Ni Ubangiji, na kira ka cikin adalci; zan riƙe hannunka. Zan kiyaye ka in kuma sa ka zama alkawari ga mutane haske kuma ga Al’ummai,
7 You will enable blind [IDM] people to see, you will free those who are in prison (OR, who are bound [by the guilt of their sins]) [MET] and release those who are in dark dungeons.
don ka buɗe idanun makafi ka’yantar da kamammu daga kurkuku kuma kunce ɗaurarrun kurkuku masu zama cikin duhu.
8 I am Yahweh; that is my name. I will not allow anyone else to receive the honor that only I deserve. And I will not allow idols to be praised like only I should be praised.
“Ni ne Ubangiji; sunana ke nan! Ba zan ba da ɗaukakata ga wani ba ko yabona ga gumaka.
9 Everything that I have prophesied has happened, and now I will tell about other things that will happen. I will tell you things that will happen before they happen.”
Duba, abubuwan da sun tabbata, sababbin abubuwa kuwa nake furtawa; kafin ma su soma faruwa na sanar da su gare ku.”
10 Sing a new song to Yahweh! Sing to praise him throughout the world! All you people who sail across the oceans, and all you creatures that live in the oceans, and all you people who live on islands far away, sing!
Ku rera sabuwar waƙa ga Ubangiji, ku yi yabonsa daga iyakar duniya, ku da kuka gangara zuwa teku, da kome da yake cikinsa, ku tsibirai, da waɗanda suke zama a cikinsu.
11 You people who live in towns in the desert, sing loudly! You people who live in the Kedar [area in the north of Arabia], you rejoice also! You people in Sela [city in Edom], you also should sing joyfully; shout [to praise him] from the tops of your mountains!
Bari hamada da garuruwanta su tā da muryoyinsu; bari wuraren zaman da Kedar ke zama su yi farin ciki. Bari mutanen Sela su rera don farin ciki; bari su yi sowa daga ƙwanƙolin duwatsu.
12 Even people who live on distant islands should honor Yahweh and sing to praise him.
Bari su ɗaukaka Ubangiji su kuma yi shelar yabonsa a tsibirai.
13 [It will be as though] Yahweh will march out like [SIM] a mighty soldier; he will show that he is very angry. He will shout a battle-cry, and [then] he will defeat all his enemies.
Ubangiji zai fita ya yi yaƙi kamar mai ƙarfi, kamar jarumi zai yi himma; da ihu zai tā da kirarin yaƙi zai kuma yi nasara a kan abokan gābansa.
14 [He will say], “I have remained silent [DOU] for a long time; I have restrained myself [from doing what I need to do]. But now, like [SIM] a woman who is giving birth to a baby, I will cry out and gasp and pant.
“Na daɗe ina shiru, na yi shiru na kuma ƙame kaina. Amma yanzu, kamar mace mai naƙuda, na yi ƙara, ina nishi ina kuma haki.
15 I will level off the hills and mountains, and I will cause all the plants and trees to dry up. I will cause the rivers to become small streams, and little islands will appear in them, and I will cause all the pools to become dry.
Zan lalatar da duwatsu da tuddai in busar da dukan itatuwansu; zan mai da koguna su zama tsibirai in kuma busar da tafkuna.
16 [My people who have been taken to Babylonia are like] [MET] blind people, [but] I will lead them along a road on which they have not walked before, on a road that they have not seen before. They have felt [very helpless, as though] they were walking in the darkness, but I will take away that darkness and I will make smooth the road that is in front of them. Those are the things that I will do for them; I will not abandon them.
Zan yi wa makafi jagora a hanyoyin da ba su taɓa sani ba, a hanyoyin da ba a saba ba zan bishe su; zan mai da duhu ya zama haske a gabansu in kuma mai da ƙasa mai kururrumai ta zama sumul. Abubuwan da zan yi ke nan; ba zan yashe su ba.
17 But those who trust in carved idols, and say to images, ‘You are our gods,’ will be completely humiliated/disgraced.”
Amma waɗanda suka dogara ga gumaka, waɗanda suke ce wa siffofi, ‘Ku ne allolinmu,’ za a mai da su baya da kunya.
18 You [Israeli people who have acted toward God like] deaf [people], listen [to what Yahweh says]! “You [who have been like] [MET] blind [people], look!
“Ka ji, kai kurma; duba, kai makaho, ka kuma gani!
19 No people are [RHQ] as blind as my people, who [should have been] serving me. No people are [RHQ] as much like [MET] deaf people as [the Israelis, who should have been] my messengers. No people are [RHQ] as much like [MET] blind people as those whom I chose to serve me.
Wane ne makaho in ba bawana ba, da kuma kurma in ba ɗan aikan da na aika ba? Wane ne makaho kamar wanda ya miƙa kai gare ni, makaho kamar bawan Ubangiji?
20 You see and know what are the right things to do, but you do not do them. You hear [what I say to you], but you do not pay attention.”
Kun ga abubuwa masu yawa, amma ba ku kula ba; kunnuwanku suna a buɗe, amma ba kwa jin wani abu.”
21 Because Yahweh is righteous, he has honored his glorious laws.
Yakan gamsar da Ubangiji saboda adalcinsa ya sa dokarsa ta zama mai girma da kuma mai ɗaukaka.
22 But [the armies of Babylon have destroyed Jerusalem] and have completely (plundered/taken away) [DOU] all the valuable things, and they have captured Yahweh’s people and taken them away and put them in prison. They have been captured easily, because there was no one to protect them; there was no one to say that they should be allowed to return home.
Amma ga mutanen da aka washe aka kuma kwashe ganima, an yi wa dukansu tarko a cikin rammuka ko kuma an ɓoye su cikin kurkuku. Sun zama ganima, babu wani da zai kuɓutar da su; an mai da su ganima, ba wanda zai ce, “Mayar da su.”
23 Who among you will listen carefully to these things? Who will pay attention from now on?
Wane ne a cikinku zai saurari wannan ko ya kasa kunne sosai a cikin kwanaki masu zuwa?
24 Who allowed the valuable possessions of the people of Israel to be stolen [RHQ, DOU]? It was Yahweh, because he is he one against whom we had sinned; we did not conduct our lives like he wanted us to, and we did not obey his laws.
Wa ya ba da Yaƙub don yă zama ganima Isra’ila kuma ga masu kwasar ganima? Ba Ubangiji ba ne, wanda kuka yi wa zunubi? Gama ba su bi hanyoyinsa ba; ba su yi biyayya da dokarsa ba.
25 Therefore, he was extremely angry with us, and he caused our soldiers to be destroyed in battles. [It was as though] [MET] he lit a fire around us, but we did not understand [what he was trying to tell us]. [His being angry with us was like] a fire that would burn us up, but we did not pay attention [IDM].
Saboda haka ya zuba musu zafin fushinsa, yaƙi mai tsanani. Ya rufe su cikin harsunan wuta, duk da haka ba su gane ba; ya cinye su, amma ba su koyi kome ba.
