Ishaya 16
1 Ku aiko da raguna a matsayin haraji ga mai mulkin ƙasar, daga Sela a hamada, zuwa dutsen Diyar Sihiyona.
[The rulers of Moab will say to each other, ] “We must send some [lambs] from Sela [city] as a gift to the ruler of Judah [to persuade him to not allow his army to attack us any more]. We should send them through the desert to the king.
2 Kamar tsuntsaye masu firiya da aka kora daga sheƙa, haka matan Mowab suke a kogunan Arnon.
The women of Moab will be left alone at the (fords of/places where people can walk across) the Arnon [River]; they will be like [SIM] birds that have been pushed out of their nests.
3 “Ku ba mu shawara, ku yanke shawara. Ku mai da inuwarku kamar dare, a tsakar rana. Ku ɓoye masu gudun hijira, kada ku bashe masu neman mafaka.
They will cry out, ‘Help us! Tell us what we should do! Protect us completely [MET], we who are running away [from our enemies], and do not (betray us/tell our enemies where we are).
4 Ku bar Mowabawa masu gudun hijira su zauna tare da ku; ku zama mafakarsu daga mai neman hallaka su.” Mai danniya zai zo ga ƙarshe hallaka kuma za tă daina; masu lalatar da ƙasa za su kare
Allow [those of us] who are fleeing from Moab to stay with you; hide/protect us from [our enemies who want to] destroy us!’ [Some day] there will be no one to oppress us, and our enemies will stop destroying [our land].
5 Da ƙauna za a kafa kursiyi; da aminci mutum zai zauna a kansa, wani daga gidan Dawuda, wani wanda ta shari’antawa yakan nuna gaskiya ya hanzarta yin adalci.
Then [Yahweh] will appoint someone to be king who will be [a descendant of King] David. As he rules [MTY], he will be merciful and truthful. He will always do what is fair/just and quickly do what is righteous.”
6 Mun ji fariyar Mowab, mun ji yawan fariyarta da girmankanta, fariyarta da reninta, amma taƙamarsu ta banza ce.
We [people of Judah] have heard about [the people of] Moab; we have heard that they are very proud and conceited [DOU]; they are insolent, but what they proudly say about themselves is not true.
7 Saboda haka Mowabawa za su yi kuka mai zafi, za su yi kuka mai zafi tare saboda Mowab. Ku yi makoki ku kuma yi baƙin ciki saboda ƙosai da kuka riƙa ci a Kir Hareset.
[Some day all the people in] Moab will weep. They will all mourn, because [there will be no more] raisin cakes in Kir-Hareseth [city].
8 Gonakin Heshbon sun bushe, inabin Sibma ma haka. Masu mulkin al’ummai sun tattake inabi mafi kyau, waɗanda suka taɓa yaɗuwa zuwa Yazer suka bazu ta wajen hamada. Tohonsu sun buɗu suka kai har teku.
The [crops in] the fields at Heshbon [city] will wither, and the vineyards at Sibmah [town] will wither also. The armies of [other] nations will destroy Moab, which is [like] [MET] a beautiful grapevine whose branches spread [north] to Jazer [town] and [east] to the desert. Its branches spread very far [west], to the west side of the [Dead] Sea.
9 Saboda haka na yi kuka, yadda Yazer take kuka, saboda inabin Sibma. Ya Heshbon, ya Eleyale, na cika ku da hawaye! Sowa ta murna a kanku saboda’ya’yan itatuwanku da suka nuna da kuma girbinku sun ɓace.
So I will weep for Jazer and for the grapevines of Sibmah. I will shed tears for all of you. I will cry because people will no longer shout joyfully, like they usually do when they gather the fruit that ripens in the (summer/hot season) and the other crops that they harvest.
10 An ɗauke farin ciki da murna daga gonakin itatuwa masu’ya’ya; babu wanda yake rerawa ko yake sowa a cikin gonakin inabi; babu wanda yake matsin ruwan inabi a wuraren matsi, gama na kawo ƙarshen yin sowa.
People will no longer be glad at harvest time. No one will sing in the vineyards, no one will shout joyfully. No one will tread on grapes [to get grape juice for wine]; there will be nothing to shout about [joyfully].
11 Zuciyata tana makoki saboda Mowab kamar garaya, na yi baƙin ciki saboda Kir Hareset.
I cry inwardly for Moab; my groaning is like [SIM] [a sad song played on] a harp. I am sad about Kir-Hareseth.
12 Sa’ad Mowab ta bayyana a masujadar bisa tudu, tana gajiyar da kanta ne kawai; sa’ad da ta tafi wurin tsafinta don tă yi addu’a, babu wani amfani.
[The people of] Moab will go and pray at their sacred shrines, but that will not help them. They will cry out to their gods in their temples, [but] none of them will be able to rescue the people.
13 Wannan ita ce maganar da Ubangiji ya riga ya yi game da Mowab.
Yahweh has already spoken those things about Moab.
14 Amma yanzu Ubangiji ya ce, “Cikin shekara uku, kamar yadda bawan da aka bautar da shi bisa ga yarjejjeniya zai lissafta, haka za a mai da daraja da kuma dukan yawan mutanen Mowab abin reni, daga ɗumbun mutanenta,’yan kaɗan ne kaɗai za su ragu, za su kuma zama marasa ƙarfi.”
But now he says that exactly three years from now, he will destroy all the things that [the people of] Moab have been proud of. Even though they have a huge number of people in Moab now, only a few people will remain alive, and they will be weak/helpless.
