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 Syria: they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, says the LORD of hosts.
4 “A wannan rana ɗaukakar Yaƙub za tă ƙare; kitsen jikinsa zai lalace.
And in that day it shall come to pass, 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 gathers the corn, and reaps the ears with his arm; and it shall be as he that gathers 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 gleaning grapes shall be left in it, as the shaking of an olive tree, two or three berries in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the utmost fruitful branches thereof, says the LORD God of Israel.
7 A wannan rana mutane za su nemi Mahaliccinsu su kuma juye idanunsu ga Mai Tsarkin nan na Isra’ila.
At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect 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 look to the altars, the work of his hands, neither shall respect that which his fingers have made, either the groves, or the 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 a forsaken bough, and an uppermost branch, which they left because of the children of Israel: and there shall be 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,
Because you have forgotten the God of your salvation, and have not been mindful of the rock of your strength, therefore shall you plant pleasant plants, and shall set it with strange slips:
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 shall you make your plant to grow, and in the morning shall you make your seed to flourish: but the harvest shall be a heap in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow.
12 Kash, ga hayaniyar al’ummai masu yawa suna hayaniya kamar rurin teku! Kash, ga fushin mutane suna ruri kamar rugugi kamar manyan ruwaye!
Woe to the multitude of many people, which make a noise like the noise of the seas; and to the rushing of nations, that make a rushing 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 God shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like a rolling thing before the whirlwind.
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.
And behold at evening-time trouble; and before the morning he is not. This is the portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob us.
