Isaiah 41
1 Keep silence before me, O isles; and let the people renew [their] strength: let them come near; then let them speak: let us come near together to judgment.
“Ku yi shiru a gabana, ku tsibirai! Bari al’ummai su sabunta ƙarfinsu! Bari su zo gaba su yi magana; bari mu sadu a wurin shari’a.
2 Who raised up the righteous [man] from the east, called him to his foot, gave the nations before him, and made [him] rule over kings? he gave [them] as the dust to his sword, [and] as driven stubble to his bow.
“Wa ya zuga wannan daga gabas, yana kiransa cikin adalci ga yin hidima? Ya miƙa masa al’ummai ya kuma yi nasara da sarakuna a gabansa. Ya mai da su ƙura da takobinsa, zuwa inda iska ke hurawa ta wurin bugun da ya yi musu.
3 He pursued them, [and] passed safely; [even] by the way [that] he had not gone with his feet.
Ya fafare su ya kuma yi tafiyarsa lafiya ƙalau, a hanyar da ƙafafunsa ba su taɓa bi ba.
4 Who hath wrought and done [it], calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I [am] he.
Wane ne ya taɓa yin haka ya kuma sa ya faru, yana kira ga tsararraki daga farko? Ni, Ubangiji ina can tun farkonsu ni kuma ina can har ƙarshe, Ni ne shi.”
5 The isles saw [it], and feared; the ends of the earth were afraid, drew near, and came.
Tsibirai sun gan shi suka kuma ji tsoro; iyakokin duniya sun yi rawar jiki. Suka kusato suka kuma zo gaba;
6 They helped every one his neighbor; and [every one] said to his brother, Be of good courage.
kowa na taimakon wani yana ce wa ɗan’uwansa, “Ka ƙarfafa!”
7 So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith, [and] he that smootheth [with] the hammer him that smote the anvil, saying, It [is] ready for the sodering: and he fastened it with nails, [that] it should not be moved.
Masassaƙi yakan ƙarfafa maƙerin zinariya, kuma shi mai gyara da guduma ya yi sumul yakan ƙarfafa mai harhaɗawa. Ya ce game da haɗin, “Ya yi kyau.” Yakan buga ƙusoshi su riƙe gunkin don kada yă fāɗi.
8 But thou, Israel, [art] my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend.
“Amma kai, ya Isra’ila, bawana, Yaƙub, wanda na zaɓa, zuriyar Ibrahim abokina,
9 [Thou] whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said to thee, Thou [art] my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away.
na ɗauke ka daga iyakar duniya, daga kusurwoyi masu nesa na kira ka. Na ce, ‘Kai bawana ne’; na zaɓe ka ban kuwa ƙi ka ba.
10 Fear thou not; for I [am] with thee: be not dismayed; for I [am] thy God: I will strengthen thee; yes, I will help thee; yes, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
Saboda haka kada ka ji tsoro, gama ina tare da kai; kada ka karai, gama ni ne Allahnka. Zan ƙarfafa ka in kuma taimake ka; zan riƙe ka da hannun damana mai adalci.
11 Behold, all [they that were] incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that contend with thee shall perish.
“Duk wanda ya yi fushi da kai tabbatacce zai sha kunya da ƙasƙanci; waɗanda suka yi hamayya da kai za su zama kamar ba kome ba su kuma hallaka.
12 Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, [even] them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of naught.
Ko ka nemi abokan gābanka, ba za ka same su ba. Waɗanda suke yaƙi da kai za su zama kamar ba kome ba.
13 For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying to thee, Fear not; I will help thee.
Gama ni ne Ubangiji Allahnka, wanda ya riƙe ka da hannun damana ya kuma ce maka, Kada ka ji tsoro; zan taimake ka.
14 Fear not, thou worm Jacob, [and] ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the LORD, and thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.
Kada ka ji tsoro, ya Yaƙub marar ƙarfi, ya ƙaramin Isra’ila, gama ni kaina zan taimake ka,” in ji Ubangiji, Mai Fansarka, Mai Tsarkin nan na Isra’ila.
15 Behold, I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat [them] small, and shalt make the hills as chaff.
“Duba, zan sa ka cikin abin sussuka, saboda kuma mai kaifi mai haƙora da yawa. Za ka yi sussukar duwatsu ka ragargaza su, ka kuma farfashe tuddai su zama kamar yayi.
16 Thou shalt fan them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them: and thou shalt rejoice in the LORD, [and] shalt glory in the Holy One of Israel.
Za ka tankaɗe su, iska kuma ta kwashe su, guguwa kuma za tă warwatsa su. Amma za ka yi farin ciki a cikin Ubangiji ka kuma ɗaukaka a cikin Mai Tsarkin nan na Isra’ila.
17 [When] the poor and needy seek water, and [there is] none, [and] their tongue faileth for thirst, I the LORD will hear them, [I] the God of Israel will not forsake them.
“Matalauta da mabukata suna neman ruwa, amma babu kome; harsunansu sun bushe saboda ƙishi. Amma Ni Ubangiji zan amsa musu; Ni, Allah na Isra’ila, ba zan yashe su ba.
18 I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.
Zan sa koguna su malalo a ƙeƙasassun tuddai, maɓulɓulan ruwa kuma a kwaruruka. Zan mai da hamada tafkunan ruwa, busasshiyar ƙasa kuma ta zama maɓulɓulan ruwa.
19 I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, the shittah-tree, and the myrtle, and the oil-tree; I will set in the desert the fir-tree, the pine, and the box-tree together:
Zan sa a hamada ta tsiro da al’ul da itacen ƙirya, da itacen ci-zaƙi, da zaitun. Zan sa itace mai girma a ƙasashe masu sanyi ya tsiro a ƙeƙasasshiyar ƙasa, tare da fir da kuma saifires,
20 That they may see, and know, and consider, and understand together, that the hand of the LORD hath done this, and the Holy One of Israel hath created it.
don mutane su gani su kuma sani, su lura su kuma fahimci, cewa hannun Ubangiji ne ya aikata haka, cewa Mai Tsarkin nan na Isra’ila ya sa abin ya faru.
21 Produce your cause, saith the LORD; bring forth your strong [reasons], saith the King of Jacob.
“Ka gabatar da damuwarka,” in ji Ubangiji. “Ka kawo gardandaminka,” in ji Sarki na Yaƙub.
22 Let them bring [them] forth, and show us what shall happen: let them show the former things, what they [are] that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare to us things to come.
“Ka shigar da gumakanka don su faɗa mana abin da zai faru. Faɗa mana abubuwan da suka riga suka faru, domin mu lura da su mu kuma san abin da zai faru a ƙarshe. Ko kuwa ku furta mana abubuwan da za su faru,
23 Show the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye [are] gods: yes, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold [it] together.
faɗa mana abin da nan gaba ta ƙunsa, don mu san cewa ku alloli ne. Ku yi wani abu, mai kyau ko mummuna, don mu ji tsoro da fargaba.
24 Behold, ye [are] of nothing, and your work of naught: an abomination [is he that] chooseth you.
Amma ku ba kome ba ne kuma ayyukanku banza da wofi ne; duk wanda ya zaɓe ku abin ƙyama ne.
25 I have raised up [one] from the north, and he shall come: from the rising of the sun shall he call upon my name: and he shall come upon princes as [upon] mortar, and as the potter treadeth clay.
“Na zuga wani daga arewa, ya kuwa zo, wani daga inda rana ke fitowa wanda yake kira bisa sunana. Yana takawa a kan masu mulki kamar da taɓarya, sai ka ce maginin tukwane yana taka laka.
26 Who hath declared from the beginning, that we may know? and before time, that we may say, [He is] righteous? verily, [there is] none that showeth, verily, [there is] none that declareth, verily, [there is] none that heareth your words.
Wa ya faɗi wannan tun daga farko, don mu sani, ko kafin ya faru, don mu ce, ‘Ya faɗi daidai’? Ba wanda ya faɗa wannan, ba wanda ya riga faɗe shi, ba wanda ya ji wata magana daga gare ku.
27 The first [shall say] to Zion, Behold, behold them: and I will give to Jerusalem one that bringeth good tidings.
Ni ne na farkon da ya ce wa Sihiyona, ‘Duba, ga su nan!’ Na ba wa Urushalima saƙon labari mai daɗi.
28 For I beheld, and [there was] no man; even among them, and [there was] no counselor, that, when I asked of them, could answer a word.
Na duba amma ba kowa ba wani a cikinsu da zai ba da shawara, ba wani da zai ba da amsa sa’ad da na tambaye su.
29 Behold, they [are] all vanity, their works [are] nothing: their molten images [are] wind and confusion.
Duba, dukansu masu ƙarya ne! Ayyukansu ba su da riba; siffofinsu iska ne kawai da ruɗami.
