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 proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim, To the fading flower, his glorious beauty, At the head of the rich valley of a people stupefied 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 a strong, a mighty one from the Lord Like a storm of hail, like a destructive tempest, Like a flood of mighty, overflowing waters, With violence shall dash it to the ground.
3 Za a tattaka wannan rawani, girman kai na mashayan Efraim da ƙafa.
It shall be trodden under foot, The proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim.
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 fading flower, their glorious beauty, At the head of the rich valley, Shall be as the early fig before the time of harvest, Which whoso seeth plucketh immediately, And swalloweth as soon as it is in his hand.
5 A wannan rana Ubangiji Maɗaukaki zai zama rawani mai daraja kyakkyawan rawani wa mutanensa da suka ragu.
In that day shall Jehovah of hosts Be a glorious crown, and a beautiful diadem to 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.
A spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, And of strength to them that drive back the enemy to their gates.
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 even these stagger through wine, And reel through strong drink; The priest and the prophet stagger through strong drink; They are overpowered with wine; They stumble through strong drink; They reel in vision, They stagger in judgment.
8 Duk amai ya rufe teburori kuma babu wani wurin da ba a ɓata ba.
For all their tables are full of filthy vomit, 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,” say they, “will he teach knowledge, And to whom will he impart instruction? To the weaned from the milk? To those just taken from the breast?
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 it is precept upon precept, precept upon precept, Command upon command, command upon command, A little here, and a little there.”
11 To da kyau, da leɓunan baƙi da ku harsunan da ba sani ba Allah zai yi magana da wannan mutane,
Yea, with stammering lips and a strange tongue He shall indeed 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.
He that said to them, “This is the way of rest, give rest to the weary; This is the way of safety”; But 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.
Then shall the word of Jehovah be indeed to them “Precept upon precept, precept upon precept, Command upon command, command upon command, A little here, and a little there,” So that they shall go on, and fall backwards, and be broken, And be snared and caught.
14 Saboda haka ku saurari maganar Ubangiji, ku masu ba’a ku da kuke mulkin wannan mutane a Urushalima.
Wherefore hear ye the word of Jehovah, Ye scoffers, who rule this people 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 h7585)
Since ye say, “We have entered into a covenant with death, And with the under-world have we made an agreement, The overflowing scourge, when it passeth through, shall not reach us; For we have made falsehood our refuge, And in deceit we have hidden ourselves.” (Sheol h7585)
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 Jehovah: Behold, I have laid in Zion as a foundation a stone, A tried stone, a precious corner-stone, a sure foundation; He that trusteth shall not flee away.
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.
I will make justice a line, And righteousness a plummet, And the hail shall sweep away the refuge of falsehood, And the waters shall overwhelm its 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 h7585)
And your covenant with death shall be broken, And your agreement with the under-world shall not stand; When the overflowing scourge shall pass through, By it shall ye be beaten down. (Sheol h7585)
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,
As often as it passeth through, it shall bear you away; For every morning shall it pass through, By day and by night; Even to hear the rumor of it shall be terrible.
20 wanda ya yi ƙoƙari yă kwanta a gajeren gado, yă kuma rufa da ɗan siririn bargo.
Yea, the bed is too short for one to stretch himself on it, And the covering too narrow for one to 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 Jehovah will rise up, as in mount Perazim; He will be moved with anger, as in the valley of Gibeon, To perform his act, his strange act, And to execute his work, his strange work.
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 no longer scoffers, Lest your bands become stronger; For destruction and punishment have been revealed to me From Jehovah of hosts concerning the whole land!
23 Ku saurara ku kuma ji muryata; ku kasa kunne ku kuma ji abin da na faɗa.
Give ear, and listen to my voice, Attend, and hearken to my words!
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?
Is the ploughman always ploughing in order to sow? Is he always opening and harrowing his field?
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 the face thereof even, Doth he not then scatter the dill, and cast abroad the cumin, And sow the wheat in rows, And the barley in its appointed place, And the spelt in his border?
26 Allahnsa ya umarce shi ya kuma koya masa hanyar da take daidai.
Thus his God rightly instructeth him, And giveth him knowledge.
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.
The dill is not beaten out with the thrashing-sledge, Nor is the wheel of the wain rolled over the cumin; But the dill is beaten out with a staff, And the cumin 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 beaten out, Yet doth not the husbandman thrash it without limit. He driveth over it the wheels of the wain, And the horses, yet doth he not utterly crush it.
29 Dukan wannan hikimar takan zo daga Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ne, shi da yake mashawarci mai banmamaki, mafifici kuma cikin hikima.
This also proceedeth from Jehovah of hosts; He is wonderful in counsel, Excellent in wisdom.
