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 oracle on Damascus, —Lo! Damascus, is to be removed from being a city, And shall become a heap of ruins:
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.
Forsaken, are the desolate cities, —For flocks, shall they serve, Which shall lie down and have none to 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.
Then shall the fortress cease from Ephraim, And the kingdom from Damascus and the remnant of Syria, —Like the glory of the sons of Israel, shall they be, —Declareth Yahweh 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 diminished, And, the fatness of his flesh, shall be wasted;
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 come to pass—That, as the harvestman gathereth standing corn, And with his arm—the ears, he reapeth, Yea it shall come to pass—That, so, shall he be who gleaneth ears, in the vale 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 shall there be left therein, a gleaning. As in the beating of an olive-tree, —Two-three berries in the head of the tree-top, —Four—five, among her fruitful boughs, Declareth Yahweh 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 the son of earth look to him that made him, —And his eyes unto the Holy One of Israel, be turned;
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 unto the altars the work of his own hands, —Nor to what his own fingers have made, shall his eye be turned, Whether Sacred Stems or Sun-pillars.
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 fortified cities become Like a neglected bough and a topmost branch, Which they neglected because of the sons of Israel, —So shall there 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 thou didst forget the God of thy salvation, And thy Rock of refuge, thou didst not remember, For this cause, shalt thou plant very pleasant plants, And, the slip of a stranger, shalt thou set:
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 when thou plantest, fence thou in, And in the morning, cause thou, thy slip, to blossom, —A harvest will have waved in the day of destiny, and mortal 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!
Alas! the booming of many peoples, Like the booming of the seas, shall they boom, —And the rushing of nations! Like the rushing of mighty waters, shall they rush.
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.
Though nations like the rushing of many waters, shall rush, Yet shall one rebuke him, And he shall flee far away, —And be chased As the chaff of the mountains before a wind, And as whirling stubble before a 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, lo! terror, Before morning, he is not! This, is the portion of them who plunder us, And the lot of them who make of us a prey.
