< Ishaya 13 >
1 Abubuwan da Allah ya yi magana a kai game da Babilon da Ishaya ɗan Amoz ya gani.
The burden of Babylon that Isaiah son of Amoz has seen:
2 A tā da tuta a kan tudun da yake mai fili, ka tā da murya gare su; ka ɗaga hannu ka ba su alama don su shiga ƙofofi masu alfarma.
“Lift up an ensign on a high mountain, Raise the voice to them, wave the hand, And they go into the openings of nobles.
3 Na umarci tsarkakana; na umarci jarumawan yaƙina su gamsar da fushina, waɗanda suke farin ciki a nasarata.
I have given charge to My sanctified ones, Also I have called My mighty ones for My anger, Those rejoicing at My excellence.”
4 Ka saurara, akwai surutu a kan duwatsu, sai ka ce na babban taron jama’a! Ka saurara, akwai hayaniya a cikin mulkoki, sai ka ce al’ummai ne suna ta tattaruwa! Ubangiji Maɗaukaki yana shirya mayaƙa don yaƙi.
A voice of a multitude in the mountains, A likeness of a numerous people, A voice of noise from the kingdoms of nations who are gathered, YHWH of Hosts inspecting a host of battle!
5 Suna zuwa daga ƙasashe masu nesa, daga iyakokin duniya, Ubangiji da kuma fushinsa, zai hallaka dukan ƙasar.
They are coming in from a far-off land, From the end of the heavens, YHWH and the instruments of His indignation, To destroy all the land.
6 Ku yi ihu, gama ranar Ubangiji ta yi kusa za tă zo kamar hallaka daga Maɗaukaki.
Howl, for the Day of YHWH [is] near, It comes as destruction from the Mighty.
7 Saboda wannan, hannun kowane mutum zai yi rauni, ƙarfin halin kowane mutum zai kāsa.
Therefore, all hands fail, And every heart of man melts.
8 Tsoro zai kama su, zafi da azaba za su ci ƙarfinsu; za su yi ta murɗewa kamar mace mai naƙuda. Za su dubi juna a tsorace, fuskokinsu a ɓace.
And they have been troubled, Pains and pangs take them, They are pained as a travailing woman, A man marvels at his friend, The appearance of flames—their faces!
9 Duba, ranar Ubangiji tana zuwa, muguwar rana, mai hasala da zafin fushi, don ta mai da ƙasar kango ta kuma hallakar da masu zunubi da suke cikinta.
Behold, the Day of YHWH comes, Fierce, with wrath, and heat of anger, To make the land become a desolation, Indeed, He destroys its sinning ones from it.
10 Taurarin sama da ƙungiyoyinsu ba za su ba da haskensu ba. Rana za tă yi duhu wata kuma ba zai ba da haskensa ba.
For the stars of the heavens, and their constellations, Do not cause their light to shine, The sun has been darkened in its going out, And the moon does not cause its light to come forth.
11 Zan hukunta duniya saboda muguntarta, mugaye saboda zunubansu. Zan kawo ƙarshe ga girman kan masu taƙama in kuma ƙasƙantar da ɗaga kan marasa tausayi.
“And I have appointed evil on the world, And on the wicked their iniquity, And have caused the excellence of the proud to cease, And I make the excellence of the terrible low.
12 Zan sa mutum yă fi zinariya zalla wuyar samuwa, fiye da zinariyar Ofir wuyan gani.
I make man more rare than fine gold, And a common man than pure gold of Ophir.
13 Saboda haka zan sa sammai su yi rawar jiki; duniya kuma za tă girgiza daga inda take a fushin Ubangiji Maɗaukaki, a ranar fushinsa mai ƙuna.
Therefore I cause the heavens to tremble, And the earth shakes from its place, In the wrath of YHWH of Hosts, And in a day of the heat of His anger.
14 Kamar barewar da ake farautarta kamar tumaki marasa makiyayi, haka nan kowane mutum zai koma ga mutanensa, kowane mutum zai gudu zuwa ƙasarsa.
And it has been, as a roe driven away, And as a flock that has no gatherer, Each to his people—they turn, And each to his land—they flee.
15 Duk wanda aka kama za a soke shi yă mutu; dukan waɗanda aka kama za su mutu ta takobi.
Everyone who is found is thrust through, And everyone who is added falls by sword.
16 Za a fyaɗa’ya’yansu a ƙasa su yi kucu-kucu a idanunsu; za a washe gidajensu, a kuma kwana da matansu.
And their sucklings are dashed to pieces before their eyes, Their houses are spoiled, and their wives lain with.
17 Duba, zan zuga mutanen Medes su yi gāba da su, su da ba su kula da azurfa ba kuma ba sa damuwa da zinariya.
Behold, I am stirring up the Medes against them, Who do not esteem silver, And gold—they do not delight in it.
18 Bakkunansu za su kashe samari; ba za su ji tausayin jarirai ba ba za su kuwa nuna jinƙai ga’yan yara ba.
And bows dash young men to pieces, And they do not pity the fruit of the womb, Their eye has no pity on sons.
19 Babilon, kayan daraja na mulkoki, abin fariyar Babiloniyawa, Allah zai kaɓantar da ita kamar yadda ya yi da Sodom da Gomorra.
And Babylon, the beauty of kingdoms, The glory, the excellence of the Chaldeans, Has been as overthrown by God, With Sodom and with Gomorrah.
20 Ba za ƙara kasance da mazauna kuma ba ko a yi zama a cikinta dukan zamanai; Ba wani mutumin Arab da zai kafa tentinsa a can, ba makiyayin da zai taɓa kiwon garkensa a can.
She does not sit forever, Nor continue to many generations, Nor does Arab pitch tent there, And shepherds do not lie down there.
21 Amma halittun hamada za su kwanta a can, diloli za su cika gidajenta; a can mujiyoyi za su zauna, a can kuma awakin jeji za su yi ta tsalle.
And desert-dwellers have lain down there, And their houses have been full of howlers, And daughters of an ostrich have dwelt there, And goats skip there.
22 Kuraye za su yi ta kuka a kagarorinta, diloli kuma a cikin fadodinta masu alfarma. Lokacinta ya yi kusa, kwanakinta kuma ba za su yi tsawo ba.
And howlers—he has responded in his forsaken habitations, And dragons in palaces of delight, And her time [is] near to come, And her days are not drawn out!”
