Ishaya 23
1 Abin da Allah ya faɗa game da Taya. Ku yi kuka mai zafi, ya jiragen ruwan Tarshish! Gama an hallaka Taya aka kuma bar su babu gida ko tasha. Daga ƙasar Saifurus magana ta zo musu.
The word about Tyre. Let a cry of sorrow go up, O ships of Tarshish, because your strong place is made waste; on the way back from the land of Kittim the news is given to them.
2 Ku yi shiru, ku mutanen tsibiri da ku’yan kasuwan Sidon waɗanda masu ciniki a teku suka azurta.
Send out a cry of grief, you men of the sea-land, traders of Zidon, who go over the sea, whose representatives are on great waters;
3 A manyan ruwaye hatsin Shihor suka iso; girbin Nilu ne kuɗin shiga na Taya ta kuma zama kasuwar al’ummai.
Who get in the seed of Shihor, whose wealth is the trade of the nations.
4 Ki ji kunya, ya ke Sidon, da ke kuma, kagarar teku, gama teku ya yi magana ya ce, “Ban taɓa naƙuda ba balle in haifi’ya’ya; ban taɓa goyon’ya’ya maza ba balle in reno’ya’ya mata.”
Be shamed, O Zidon: for the sea, the strong place of the sea has said, I have not been with child, or given birth; I have not taken care of young men, or kept watch over the growth of virgins.
5 Sa’ad da magana ta kai Masar, za su razana da jin labari daga Taya.
When the news comes to Egypt they will be bitterly pained at the fate of Tyre.
6 Ku haye zuwa Tarshish; ku yi kuka mai zafi, ku mutanen tsibiri.
Go over to Tarshish; give cries of sorrow, O men of the sea-land.
7 Wannan ce birnin murnanku, birnin nan na tun dā wadda ƙafafunta suka kai ta zama a ƙasashe masu nesa?
Is this the town which was full of joy, whose start goes back to times long past, whose wanderings took her into far-off countries?
8 Wane ne ya ƙulla wannan a kan Taya ita da take ba da rawanin sarauta, wadda’yan kasuwanta sarakuna ne, wadda masu cinikinta sanannu ne a duniya?
By whom was this purposed against Tyre, the crowning town, whose traders are chiefs, whose business men are honoured in the land?
9 Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ya ƙulla shi, don yă kawo ƙarshen girman kan dukan darajarta ya kuma ƙasƙantar da dukan waɗanda suke sanannu a duniya.
It was the purpose of the Lord of armies to put pride to shame, to make sport of the glory of those who are honoured in the earth.
10 Ki nome ƙasarki har zuwa wajen Nilu, Ya Diyar Tarshish, gama ba ki da tashan jirgin ruwa kuma.
Let your land be worked with the plough, O daughter of Tarshish; there is no longer any harbour.
11 Ubangiji ya miƙa hannunsa a bisa teku ya kuma sa mulkokinsa suka yi rawar jiki. Ya ba da umarni game da Funisiya cewa a hallaka kagararta.
His hand is stretched out over the sea, the kingdoms are shaking: the Lord has given orders about Canaan, to make waste its strong places.
12 Ya ce, “Ba za ki ƙara yin murna ba, Ya ke Budurwa Diyar Sidon, yanzu da kike ragargajiya! “Tashi, ki ƙetare zuwa Saifurus; a can ɗin ma ba za ki huta ba.”
And he said, There is no more joy for you, O crushed virgin daughter of Zidon: up! go over to Kittim; even there you will have no rest.
13 Dubi ƙasar Babiloniyawa, wannan mutanen da yanzu ba su da wani amfani! Assuriyawa sun mai da ita wurin zaman halittun hamada; sun gina hasumiyoyin kwanto, suka ragargaza kagararta ƙaf suka mai da ita kango.
14 Ku yi kuka mai zafi, ku jiragen ruwan Tarshish; an rurrushe kagararku!
Let a cry of sorrow go up, O ships of Tarshish: because your strong place is made waste.
15 A wannan lokaci za a manta da Taya har shekaru saba’in, tsawon rayuwar sarki. Amma a ƙarshen waɗannan shekaru saba’in, zai zama wa Taya kamar yadda yake a waƙar karuwa cewa,
And it will be in that day that Tyre will go out of mind for seventy years, that is, the days of one king: after the end of seventy years it will be for Tyre as in the song of the loose woman.
16 “Ɗauki garaya, ki ratsa birni, Ya ke karuwar da aka manta da ita; kaɗa garaya da kyau, ki rera waƙoƙi masu yawa, saboda a tuna da ke.”
Take an instrument of music, go about the town, O loose woman who has gone out from the memory of man; make sweet melody with songs, so that you may come back to men's minds.
17 A ƙarshen shekaru saba’in, Ubangiji zai magance Taya. Za tă koma ga aikinta na karuwanci za tă kuma yi kasuwancinta da dukan mulkokin duniya.
And it will be after the end of seventy years, that the Lord will have mercy on Tyre, and she will go back to her trade, acting as a loose woman with all the kingdoms of the world on the face of the earth.
18 Duk da haka za a keɓe ribarta da kuɗin shigarta wa Ubangiji; ba za a yi ajiyarsu ko a ɓoye su. Ribarta za tă tafi ga waɗanda suke yi wa Ubangiji sujada, don su sami yalwataccen abinci da tufafi masu kyau.
And her goods and her trade will be holy to the Lord: they will not be kept back or stored up; for her produce will be for those living in the Lord's land, to give them food for their needs, and fair clothing.
