Ishaya 17
1 Abin da Allah ya faɗa game da Damaskus. “Duba, Damaskus ba za tă ƙara zama birni ba amma za tă zama tsibin juji.
The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.
2 Za a watse a bar biranen Arower a bar wa tumaki da shanu, waɗanda za su kwanta, ba tare da wani wanda zai tsorata su ba.
The cities of Aroer are forsaken; they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
3 Birni mai katanga za tă ɓace daga Efraim, ikon sarauta kuma daga Damaskus; raguwar Aram za tă zama kamar darajar Isra’ila,” in ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki.
The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus; and the remnant of Aram shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith the LORD of hosts.
4 “A wannan rana ɗaukakar Yaƙub za tă ƙare; kitsen jikinsa zai lalace.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the glory of Jacob shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean.
5 Zai zama kamar sa’ad da mai girbi ya tara hatsin da yake tsaye ya kuma girbe hatsin da hannunsa kamar sa’ad da mutum ya yi kala kawunan hatsi a Kwarin Refayim.
And it shall be as when the harvestman gathereth the standing corn, and reapeth the ears with his arm; yea, it shall be as when one gleaneth ears in the valley of Rephaim.
6 Duk da haka waɗansu kala za su ragu, sai ka ce sa’ad da an karkaɗe itace zaitun, aka bar’ya’yan zaitun biyu ko uku a can ƙwanƙolin rassan, ko kuma aka bar huɗu ko biyar a rassa na gefe na itace mai’ya’ya,” in ji Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila.
Yet there shall be left therein gleanings, as at the beating of an olive-tree, two or three berries in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the branches of the fruitful tree, saith the LORD, the God of Israel.
7 A wannan rana mutane za su nemi Mahaliccinsu su kuma juye idanunsu ga Mai Tsarkin nan na Isra’ila.
In that day shall a man regard his Maker, and his eyes shall look to the Holy One of Israel.
8 Ba za su dubi bagade ba, waɗanda suke aikin hannuwansu, ba za su kuma kula da ginshiƙan Ashera ba da kuma bagadan turaren da yatsotsinsu suka yi.
And he shall not regard the altars, the work of his hands, neither shall he look to that which his fingers have made, either the Asherim, or the sun-images.
9 A wannan rana biranensu masu ƙarfi, waɗanda suka bari saboda Isra’ilawa, za su zama kamar wuraren da aka ƙyale suka zama kufai a jeji. Za su kuma zama kango.
In that day shall his strong cities be as the forsaken places, which were forsaken from before the children of Israel, after the manner of woods and lofty forests; and it shall be a desolation.
10 Kun manta da Allah Mai Cetonku; ba ku tuna da Dutse, kagararku ba. Saboda haka, ko da yake kun fita ku shuka tsire-tsire mafi kyau kuka kuma shuka inabin da aka sayo daga waje,
For thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and thou hast not been mindful of the Rock of thy stronghold; therefore thou didst plant plants of pleasantness, and didst set it with slips of a stranger;
11 ko da yake a ranar kun shuka su, kuka sa su yi girma, da safe kuma sa’ad da kuka shuka su, kuka sa suka yi toho suka yi fure, duk da haka girbin ba zai zama kome ba a ranar cuta da zafin da ba ta da magani.
In the day of thy planting thou didst make it to grow, and in the morning thou didst make thy seed to blossom — a heap of boughs in the day of grief and of desperate pain.
12 Kash, ga hayaniyar al’ummai masu yawa suna hayaniya kamar rurin teku! Kash, ga fushin mutane suna ruri kamar rugugi kamar manyan ruwaye!
Ah, the uproar of many peoples, that roar like the roaring of the seas; and the rushing of nations, that rush like the rushing of mighty waters!
13 Ko da yake mutane suna ruri kamar sukuwar raƙuman ruwa, sa’ad da ya tsawata musu za su gudu can da nisa, aka kore su kamar yayinda iska ya hura a kan tuddai, kamar tattake kuma a cikin guguwa.
The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters; but He shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like the whirling dust before the storm.
14 Da yamma, sai razana ba tsammani! Kafin safiya, duk sun ɓace! Wannan ne rabon waɗanda suka washe mu, rabon waɗanda suka yi mana ƙwace.
At eventide behold terror; and before the morning they are not. This is the portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob us.
