< Isaiah 48 >

1 Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, Who are called by the name of Israel, And from the waters of Judah came out, Who are swearing by the name of Jehovah, And of the God of Israel make mention, Not in truth nor in righteousness.
“Ku kasa kunne ga wannan, ya gidan Yaƙub, waɗanda ake kira da sunan Isra’ila suka kuma fito daga zuriyar Yahuda, ku da kuke yin rantsuwa da sunan Ubangiji kuna kuma kira sunan Allah na Isra’ila, amma ba da gaskiya ko adalci ba,
2 For from the Holy City they have been called, And on the God of Israel been supported, Jehovah of Hosts [is] His name.
ku da kuke kiran kanku’yan ƙasar birni mai tsarki kuna kuma dogara ga Allah na Isra’ila, Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ne sunansa,
3 The former things from that time I declared, And from my mouth they have gone forth, And I proclaim them, Suddenly I have done, and it cometh.
na nanata abubuwan da suka riga suka faru tuntuni, bakina ya yi shelar su na kuma sanar da su; sai nan da nan na aikata, suka kuma faru.
4 From my knowing that thou art obstinate, And a sinew of iron thy neck, And thy forehead brass,
Gama na san yadda kuke da taurinkai; jijiyoyin wuyanku ƙarafa ne, goshinku tagulla ne.
5 And I declare to thee from that time, Before it cometh I have caused thee to hear, Lest thou say, 'Mine idol hath done them, And my graven image, And my molten image did command them.
Saboda haka na faɗa waɗannan abubuwa tuntuni; kafin su faru na yi shelarsu gare ku saboda kada ku ce, ‘Gumakana ne suka yi su; siffar itacena da allahn zinariyana ne ya ƙaddara su.’
6 Thou hast heard, see the whole of it, And ye, do ye not declare? I have caused thee to hear new things from this time, And things reserved that ye knew not.
Kun riga kun ji waɗannan abubuwa; kuka gan su duka. Ba za ku yarda da su ba? “Daga yanzu zuwa gaba zan faɗa muku sababbin abubuwa, na ɓoyayyun abubuwan da ba ku sani ba.
7 Now they have been produced and not from that time, Yea, before the day, and thou hast not heard them, Lest thou say, 'Lo, I have known them.'
Yanzu an halicce su, ba da daɗewa ba; ba ku riga kun ji game da su kafin yau ba. Saboda haka ba za ku ce, ‘I, na san da su ba.’
8 Yea, thou hast not heard, Yea, thou hast not known, Yea, from that time not opened hath thine ear, For I have known thou dealest treacherously, And 'Transgressor from the belly,' One is crying to thee.
Ba ku ji ko balle ku gane ba; tun da kunnenku bai buɗu ba. Tabbatacce na san yadda kun zama masu tayarwa; an kira ku’yan tawaye daga haihuwa.
9 For My name's sake I defer Mine anger, And My praise I restrain for thee, So as not to cut thee off.
Saboda girman sunana na jinkirta fushina; saboda girman yabona na janye shi daga gare ku, don dai kada a yanke ku.
10 Lo, I have refined thee, and not with silver, I have chosen thee in a furnace of affliction.
Duba, na tace ku, ko da yake ba kamar azurfa ba; na gwada ku cikin wutar wahala.
11 For My sake, for Mine own sake, I do [it], For how is it polluted? And Mine honour to another I give not.
Saboda girmana, saboda girmana, na yi haka. Yaya zan ƙyale a ƙazantar da kaina? Ba zan raba ɗaukakata da wani ba.
12 Hearken to me, O Jacob, and Israel, My called one, I [am] He, I [am] first, and I [am] last;
“Ka kasa kunne gare ni, ya Yaƙub, Isra’ila, wanda na kira cewa, Ni ne shi; ni ne na farko ni ne kuma na ƙarshe.
13 Also, My hand hath founded earth, And My right hand stretched out the heavens, I am calling unto them, they stand together.
Hannuna ne ya kafa harsashen duniya, hannuna na dama kuma ya shimfiɗa sammai; sa’ad da na kira su, duka suka miƙe tsaye gaba ɗaya.
14 Be gathered all of you, and hear, Who among them did declare these things? Jehovah hath loved him, He doth His pleasure on Babylon, And His arm [is on] the Chaldeans.
“Ku tattaru, dukanku ku kuma saurara, Wanne a cikin gumakan ya iya faɗa waɗannan abubuwa? Zaɓaɓɓen da Ubangiji yake ƙauna zai aikata nufinsa a kan Babilon; hannunsa zai yi gāba da Babiloniyawa.
15 I — I have spoken, yea, I have called him, I have brought him in, And he hath made prosperous his way.
Ni kaina, na faɗa; I, na kira shi. Zan kawo shi, zai kuma yi nasara a cikin aikinsa.
16 Come ye near unto me, hear this, Not from the beginning in secret spake I, From the time of its being, there [am] I, And now the Lord Jehovah hath sent me, and His Spirit.
“Ku zo kusa da ni ku kuma saurari wannan. “Daga farkon shela ban yi magana a ɓoye ba; a lokacin da ya faru, ina nan a wurin.” Yanzu kuwa Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka ya aiko ni, da Ruhunsa.
17 Thus said Jehovah, thy redeemer, The Holy One of Israel, 'I [am] Jehovah thy God, teaching thee to profit, Causing thee to tread in the way thou goest.
Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, Mai Fansarku, Mai Tsarkin nan na Isra’ila ya ce, “Ni ne Ubangiji Allahnku, wanda ya koya muku abin da ya fi muku kyau, wanda ya muku hanyar da za ku bi.
18 O that thou hadst attended to My commands, Then as a river is thy peace, And thy righteousness as billows of the sea,
Da a ce kawai za ku mai da hankali ga umarnaina, da salamarku ta zama kamar kogi, adalcinku kamar raƙuman teku.
19 And as sand is thy seed, And the offspring of thy bowels as its gravel, Not cut off nor destroyed his name before Me.
Da zuriyarku ta zama kamar yashi,’ya’yanku kamar tsabar hatsin da ba a iya ƙidayawa; da ba za a taɓa yanke sunansu balle a hallaka su daga gabana ba.”
20 Go out from Babylon, flee from the Chaldeans, With a voice of singing declare, Cause ye this to be heard, Bring it forth unto the end of the earth, Say, Redeemed hath Jehovah His servant Jacob.
Ku bar Babilon, ku gudu daga Babiloniyawa! Ku yi shelar wannan da sowa ta farin ciki ku kuma furta shi. Ku aika shi zuwa iyakokin duniya; ku ce, “Ubangiji ya fanshi bawansa Yaƙub.”
21 And they have not thirsted in waste places, He hath caused them to go on, Waters from a rock he hath caused to flow to them, Yea, he cleaveth a rock, and flow do waters.
Ba su ji ƙishi ba sa’ad da ya bishe su a cikin hamada; ya sa ruwa ya malalo dominsu daga dutse; ya tsage dutse ruwa kuwa ya kwararo.
22 There is no peace, said Jehovah, to the wicked!
“Babu salama ga mugaye” in ji Ubangiji.
