< Ishaya 28 >
1 Kaito ga wannan rawani, girman kai na mashayan Efraim, ga fure mai yanƙwanewa, darajar kyansa, da aka sa a kan kwari mai ba da amfani, ga birnin nan, wadda take girman kan waɗanda aka ƙasƙantar da ruwan inabinsu!
Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, whose glorious beauty [is] a fading flower, which [are] on the head of the fat valleys of them that are overcome with wine!
2 Duba, Ubangiji yana da wanda yake da iko da kuma ƙarfi. Kamar dutsen ƙanƙara da kuma iska mai ɓarna, kamar kwararowar ruwa da rigyawa mai kirmewa, zai jefa shi har ƙasa da ƙarfi.
Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, [which] as a tempest of hail [and] a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with the hand.
3 Za a tattaka wannan rawani, girman kai na mashayan Efraim da ƙafa.
The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be trodden under feet:
4 Wannan fure mai yanƙwanewa, darajarar kyansa, da aka sa a kan kwari mai ba da amfani, zai zama kamar’ya’yan ɓaure, nunan fari, da zarar wani ya gani ya kuma tsinka, zai haɗiye shi.
And the glorious beauty, which [is] on the head of the fat valley, shall be a fading flower, [and] as the hasty fruit before the summer; which [when] he that looketh upon it seeth, while it is yet in his hand he eateth it up.
5 A wannan rana Ubangiji Maɗaukaki zai zama rawani mai daraja kyakkyawan rawani wa mutanensa da suka ragu.
In that day shall the LORD of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people,
6 Zai zama ruhun adalci gare shi wanda yake zaune a kujerar shari’a, wurin samun ƙarfi ga waɗanda suka kori abokan gāban da suka fāɗa musu da yaƙi a ƙofofi.
And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate.
7 Da waɗannan kuma masu tangaɗi saboda sun sha ruwan inabi suke jiri don sun sha barasa Firistoci da annabawa suna tangaɗi saboda sun sha barasa sun kuma yi tatur da ruwan inabi; suna jiri saboda sun sha barasa, suna tangaɗi sa’ad da suke ganin wahayi, suna tuntuɓe sa’ad da suke ba da shawara.
But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble [in] judgment.
8 Duk amai ya rufe teburori kuma babu wani wurin da ba a ɓata ba.
For all tables are full of vomit [and] filthiness, [so that there is] no place [clean].
9 “Wane ne yake so ya koyar? Ga wa yake bayyana saƙonsa? Ga yaran da aka yaye, ga waɗanda ba a daɗe da yayewa ba ne?
Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? [them that are] weaned from the milk, [and] drawn from the breasts.
10 Gama haka yake. Yi ka kuma yi, yi ka kuma yi, mulki a kan mulki, mulki a kan mulki; nan kaɗan, can kaɗan.”
For precept [must be] upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, [and] there a little:
11 To da kyau, da leɓunan baƙi da ku harsunan da ba sani ba Allah zai yi magana da wannan mutane,
For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.
12 waɗanda zai ce, “Wannan shi ne wurin hutu, bari waɗanda suka gaji su huta”; da kuma, “Wannan shi ne wurin wartsakewa” amma sun ƙi su saurara.
To whom he said, This [is] the rest [wherewith] ye may cause the weary to rest; and this [is] the refreshing: yet they would not hear.
13 Saboda haka fa, maganar Ubangiji gare su za tă zama, Yi ka kuma yi, yi ka kuma yi, mulki akan mulki, mulki a kan mulki; nan kaɗan, can kaɗan, domin su tafi su kuma fāɗi da baya, su ji rauni a kuma kama su da tarko, a kai su zaman bauta.
But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, [and] there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
14 Saboda haka ku saurari maganar Ubangiji, ku masu ba’a ku da kuke mulkin wannan mutane a Urushalima.
Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which [is] in Jerusalem.
15 Kuna fariya cewa, “Mun yi alkawari da mutuwa, mun kuma yi yarjejjeniya da kabari. Sa’ad da zafi ya ratsa, ba zai taɓa mu ba, gama mun mai da ƙarya mafakarmu ruɗu kuma wurin ɓuyanmu.” (Sheol )
Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves: (Sheol )
16 Saboda haka ga abin da Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka ya ce, “Duba, na kafa dutse a Sihiyona, dutsen da aka gwada, dutsen kusurwa mai daraja don tabbataccen tushe; wanda ya dogara gare shi ba zai taɓa shan kunya ba.
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner [stone], a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
17 Zan mai da gaskiya igiyar gwaji adalci kuma ɗan katakon gwajin ginin; ƙanƙara za tă share mafakarku, ƙarya, da ruwa kuma za su mamaye maɓuyanku.
Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
18 Za a soke alkawarinku da mutuwa; yarjejjeniyarku da kabari ba zai zaunu ba. Sa’ad da zafi mai ɓarna ya ratsa, zai hallaka ku. (Sheol )
And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it. (Sheol )
19 A duk sa’ad da ya zo; ko da safiya, ko dare ko kuma da rana, zai yi ta ratsawa yana kwasanku.” Za ku zama kamar mutumin da ya zama abin karin magana,
From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only [to] understand the report.
20 wanda ya yi ƙoƙari yă kwanta a gajeren gado, yă kuma rufa da ɗan siririn bargo.
For the bed is shorter than that [a man] can stretch himself [on it: ] and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself [in it].
21 Ubangiji zai tashi kamar yadda ya yi a Dutsen Feratsim, zai tā da kansa kamar a Kwarin Gibeyon don yă aikata aikinsa, aikinsa da ba a saba gani ba, yă kuma yi aikinsa, baƙon aikinsa.
For the LORD shall rise up as [in] mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as [in] the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act.
22 Yanzu ku daina ba’arku, in ba haka ba sarƙoƙinku za su ƙara nauyi; Ubangiji, Ubangiji Maɗaukaki, ya faɗa mini game da hallakar da aka ƙaddara a kan dukan ƙasar.
Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the Lord GOD of hosts a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth.
23 Ku saurara ku kuma ji muryata; ku kasa kunne ku kuma ji abin da na faɗa.
Give ye ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech.
24 Sa’ad da manomi ya yi noma don shuki, yakan ci gaba da noma ne? Yakan ci gaba da sara yana yin kunyoyi a ƙasa ne?
Doth the plowman plow all day to sow? doth he open and break the clods of his ground?
25 Sa’ad da ya shirya wuri da kyau, ba yakan shuka kanumfari ya kuma yayyafa ɗaɗɗoya ba? Ba yakan shuka alkama a kunyoyinsa sha’ir a kunyoyinsa, tamba kuma a filinsa ba?
When he hath made plain the face thereof, doth he not cast abroad the fitches, and scatter the cummin, and cast in the principal wheat and the appointed barley and the rie in their place?
26 Allahnsa ya umarce shi ya kuma koya masa hanyar da take daidai.
For his God doth instruct him to discretion, [and] doth teach him.
27 Ba a bugan kanumfari da ƙaton sanda ko a yi ta jujjuye ƙafar keke a kan ɗaɗɗoya; akan buga kanumfari da siririn sanda ɗaɗɗoya kuma da tsumagiya.
For the fitches are not threshed with a threshing instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned about upon the cummin; but the fitches are beaten out with a staff, and the cummin with a rod.
28 Dole a niƙa hatsi don a yi burodi; saboda haka mutum ba zai yi ta bugun alkama, har yă ɓata tsabar ba. Ya san yadda zai sussuke alkamarsa, ba tare da ya ɓata tsabarta ba.
Bread [corn] is bruised; because he will not ever be threshing it, nor break [it with] the wheel of his cart, nor bruise it [with] his horsemen.
29 Dukan wannan hikimar takan zo daga Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ne, shi da yake mashawarci mai banmamaki, mafifici kuma cikin hikima.
This also cometh forth from the LORD of hosts, [which] is wonderful in counsel, [and] excellent in working.
