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 burden of Tyre. Howl, ye ships of Tarshish! for it is laid waste, so that there is no house, none entering in. From the land of Chittim it is revealed to them.
2 Ku yi shiru, ku mutanen tsibiri da ku’yan kasuwan Sidon waɗanda masu ciniki a teku suka azurta.
Be still, ye inhabitants of the isle! The merchants of Sidon, that pass over the sea, have replenished thee.
3 A manyan ruwaye hatsin Shihor suka iso; girbin Nilu ne kuɗin shiga na Taya ta kuma zama kasuwar al’ummai.
And on great waters, the seed of Shihor, the harvest of the Nile, was her revenue; and she was the market 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 thou ashamed, Sidon, for the sea hath spoken, the strength of the sea, saying, I have not travailed nor brought forth, neither have I nourished young men [nor] brought up virgins.
5 Sa’ad da magana ta kai Masar, za su razana da jin labari daga Taya.
— When the report came into Egypt, they were sorely pained at the news of Tyre.
6 Ku haye zuwa Tarshish; ku yi kuka mai zafi, ku mutanen tsibiri.
Pass over to Tarshish; howl, ye inhabitants of the coast!
7 Wannan ce birnin murnanku, birnin nan na tun dā wadda ƙafafunta suka kai ta zama a ƙasashe masu nesa?
Is this your joyous [city], whose antiquity is of ancient days? Her feet shall carry her afar off to sojourn.
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?
Who hath purposed this against Tyre, the distributor of crowns, whose merchants were princes, whose dealers were the honourable of the earth?
9 Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ya ƙulla shi, don yă kawo ƙarshen girman kan dukan darajarta ya kuma ƙasƙantar da dukan waɗanda suke sanannu a duniya.
Jehovah of hosts hath purposed it, to profane the pride of all glory, to bring to nought all the honourable of the earth.
10 Ki nome ƙasarki har zuwa wajen Nilu, Ya Diyar Tarshish, gama ba ki da tashan jirgin ruwa kuma.
Overflow thy land like the Nile, daughter of Tarshish: there is no more restraint.
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.
He hath stretched out his hand over the sea, he shaketh the kingdoms. Jehovah hath given a commandment concerning Canaan, to destroy the strongholds thereof,
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 hath said, Thou shalt no more exult, [thou] oppressed virgin, daughter of Sidon: get thee up, pass over to Chittim; even there shalt thou 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.
Behold the land of the Chaldeans: this people did not exist; the Assyrian founded it for the dwellers in the desert: they set up their towers, they destroyed the palaces thereof; he brought it to ruin.
14 Ku yi kuka mai zafi, ku jiragen ruwan Tarshish; an rurrushe kagararku!
Howl, ships of Tarshish! for your fortress is laid 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 shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king. At the end of seventy years it shall be for Tyre as the harlot's song.
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 a harp, go about the city, thou forgotten harlot! Make sweet melody, sing many songs, that thou mayest be remembered.
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 shall come to pass at the end of seventy years, that Jehovah will visit Tyre; and she will return to her hire, and will commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the earth upon the face of the ground.
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 merchandise and her hire shall be holy to Jehovah: it shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise shall be for them that dwell before Jehovah, to eat and be sufficed, and for excellent clothing.
