< Ishaya 18 >
1 Kaiton ƙasar da ake jin ƙarar fikafikai a bakin kogunan Kush,
Ho! thou land of rustling wings, Beyond the rivers of Ethiopia!
2 wadda ta aiko da jakadu ta teku cikin jiragen ruwan da aka yi da kyauro a bisa ruwa. Ku tafi, ku’yan saƙo masu sauri, zuwa ga dogayen mutane masu sulɓin jiki, zuwa ga mutanen da ake jin tsoro a ko’ina, al’umma mai ƙarfin iko tana jawabin da ba a saba ji ba, mai ƙasar da koguna suka raba.
That sendest thy messengers upon the sea, In reed-boats upon the face of the waters: Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation tall and fair, To a people terrible from the first and onward, To a mighty, victorious people, Whose land is divided by rivers!
3 Ku dukan mutanen duniya, ku da kuke zama a duniya, sa’ad da aka ɗaga tutar a kan duwatsu, za ku gan shi, sa’ad da kuma aka busa ƙaho, za ku ji shi.
All ye inhabitants of the world, ye that dwell on the earth, When the standard is lifted up on the mountains, behold! When the trumpet is sounded, hear!
4 Ga abin da Ubangiji ya faɗa mini, “Zan yi shiru in kuma duba a hankali daga mazaunina, kamar ƙuna mai zafi a hasken rana, kamar girgijen raba a lokacin girbi.”
For thus hath Jehovah said to me: “I will sit still, and look on from my dwelling-place, Like a serene heat when the sun shineth, Like a dewy cloud in the heat of harvest.”
5 Gama kafin girbi, sa’ad da furanni suka karkaɗe furanni kuma suka zama’ya’yan inabin da suka nuna, zai faffalle rassan kuringar inabi da wuƙa, ya yanke ya kuma kwashe rassan da suka bazu.
But before the vintage, when the bud is gone, And the blossom is ripening into a swelling grape, He shall cut off the shoots with pruning-hooks, And the branches he shall take away and cut down.
6 Duk za a bar su wa tsuntsayen dutse su ci da kuma namun jeji; tsuntsaye kuma za su ci rani a kansu, namun jeji kuma za su yi damina a kansu.
They shall be left together to the ravenous birds of the mountains, And to the wild beasts of the earth. The ravenous birds shall summer upon it, And every wild beast of the earth shall winter upon it.
7 A wannan lokaci za a kawo kyautai wa Ubangiji Maɗaukaki daga dogayen mutane masu sulɓin jiki, daga mutanen da ake jin tsoro a ko’ina, al’umma mai ƙarfin iko na jawabin da ba a saba ji ba, mai ƙasar da koguna suka raba. Za a kawo kyautai zuwa Dutsen Sihiyona, wurin da Sunan Ubangiji Maɗaukaki yake.
At that time shall gifts be brought to Jehovah of hosts From a nation tall and fair, From a people terrible from the first and onward, A mighty, victorious people, Whose land is divided by rivers, To the dwelling-place of Jehovah of hosts, to mount Zion.
