1 Kaiton ƙasar da ake jin ƙarar fikafikai a bakin kogunan Kush,
Woe to the land of the rustling of wings, which is along the rivers of Cush;
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.
who send ambassadors by the sea, in vessels of papyrus on the waters. Go, you swift messengers, to a nation tall and smooth, to a people feared far and near, a nation strong and trampling down, whose land the rivers divide.
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 you inhabitants of the world and you who live on the earth, when a signal is lifted up on the mountains, look; and when the trumpet is blown, listen.
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.”
This is what Yahweh said to me, “I will quietly observe from my home, like the simmering heat in sunshine, like a cloud of mist 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.
Before the harvest, when the blossoming is over, and the flower is ripening into a grape, he will cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and he will cut down and take away the spreading branches.
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 will be left together for the birds of the mountains and for the animals of the earth. The birds will summer on them, and all the animals of the earth will winter on them.”
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 tribute will be brought to Yahweh of hosts from a people tall and smooth, from a people feared far and near, a nation strong and trampling down, whose land the rivers divide, to the place of the name of Yahweh of hosts, to Mount Zion.
