< Ishaya 29 >
1 Kaitonki, Ariyel, Ariyel birnin da Dawuda ya zauna! Ƙara shekara ga shekara a kuma bar shagulgulanki su yi ta kewayewa.
Alas for Ariel, Ariel, The city against which, David encamped, —Add ye a year to a year. Let the festivals, come round;
2 Duk da haka zan yi wa Ariyel kwanto za tă kuma yi kuka da makoki, za tă zama mini kamar bagaden jini.
Yet will I bring Ariel into straits, —And she shall become a bewailing and wailing, Yea she shall become to me a veritable Hearth of God.
3 Zan kafa sansani kewaye da ke duka; zan kewaye ki da hasumiyoyi in tasar miki da ayyukan kwantona na yaƙi.
And I will encamp round about against thee, —And lay siege against thee with a fort, And raise against thee siege-works;
4 Za a ƙasƙantar da ke, za ki ƙi yin magana daga ƙasa; maganarki za tă yi ƙasa-ƙasa daga ƙura. Muryarki za tă zama kamar fatalwa daga ƙasa; daga ƙura maganarki zai fito ƙasa-ƙasa.
And thou shalt be brought low—Out of the earth, shalt thou speak, And out of the dust, shalt thou lower thine utterance, —And as one that hath a familiar spirit, Out of the earth, shall come thy voice, And out of the dust, thy speech shall chirp;
5 Amma abokan gābanki masu yawa za su zama kamar ƙura mai laushi, sojojinsu masu firgitarwa za su yi ta tashi kamar yayin da iska ta hura. Farat ɗaya, cikin ɗan lokaci,
Then shall be as fine dust the multitude of thy foreigners, —And as chaff that passeth away, the multitude of tyrants; And it shall come to pass, in a twinkling, Suddenly,
6 Ubangiji Maɗaukaki zai zo da tsawa da rawar ƙasa da ƙara mai girma, da hadarin iska da guguwa da harshe na wuta mai ci.
From Yahweh of hosts, shalt thou be visited, With thunder, and with earthquake and a great noise, hurricane and storm and flame of fire devouring;
7 Sa’an nan sojojin dukan al’umman da suka yi yaƙi da Ariyel, da suka fāɗa mata da kagararta suka kuma yi mata kwanto, za su zama kamar yadda yake da mafarki, wahayi da dare,
And it shall be like the dream of a night vision, With the multitude of all the nations who have been making war against Ariel, —Even with all who have been making war against her and her stronghold and who have been laying siege to her;
8 kamar sa’ad da mai yunwa yana mafarki cewa yana cin abinci, amma sai ya farka, yunwan tana nan; kamar sa’ad da mai ƙishirwa yana mafarki cewa yana shan ruwa, amma sai ya farka yana suma, da ƙishinsa. Haka zai zama da sojoji na dukan al’ummai da suka yi yaƙi da Dutsen Sihiyona.
Yea it shall be As when the hungry man dreameth and lo! he is eating, But he awaketh, and his soul, is empty, Or as when the thirsty man dreameth and lo! he is drinking, But he awaketh and lo! he is faint and his soul, is craving, So, shall it be with the multitude of all the nations, that have come forth to war against Mount Zion.
9 Ku firgita ku kuma yi mamaki, ku makance kanku ku kuma zama a makance; ku bugu, amma ba da ruwan inabi ba, ku yi tangaɗi, amma ba daga barasa ba.
Stand ye stock still and stare, Besmear your eyes and be blind, —They are drunken but not with wine, They reel, but not with strong drink;
10 Ubangiji ya kawo muku barci mai nauyi, Ya rufe idanunku (annabawa); ya rufe kawunanku (masu duba).
For Yahweh, hath poured out upon you, a spirit of deep sleep, Yea hath tightly shut your eyes—the prophets, —And, your heads—the seers, hath he covered,
11 Gare ku duk wannan wahayi ba kome ba ne sai dai maganganun da aka rufe a cikin littafi. In kuma kun ba da littafin ga wani wanda zai iya karanta, kuka kuma ce masa, “Karanta wannan, muna roƙonka,” zai amsa ya ce, “Ba zan iya ba; an rufe shi.”
And so all vision hath become unto you as the words of a writing that is sealed, Which is delivered unto one acquainted with writing, saying, Pray thee read this, And he saith, I cannot, for it is sealed;
12 Ko kuwa in kun ba da littafin ga wani wanda ba zai iya karantawa ba, kuka kuma ce, “Karanta wannan, muna roƙonka,” zai amsa ya ce, “Ban iya karatu ba.”
And then the writing is delivered to one unacquainted with writing, saying, Pray thee read this, And he saith I am not acquainted with writing.
13 Ubangiji ya ce, “Waɗannan mutane sun zo kusa da ni da bakinsu suka kuma girmama ni da leɓunansu, amma zukatansu suna nesa daga gare ni. Sujadar da suke mini cike take da dokokin da mutane suka koyar.
Wherefore My Lord hath said, —Because this people, hath drawn near with their mouth, And with their lips, have honoured me, But their heart, have they moved far from me, And so their reverence of me hath become A commandment of men in which they have been schooled,
14 Saboda haka zan firgita waɗannan mutane sau ɗaya da abubuwan banmamaki a kan abubuwan banmamaki; hikimar masu hikima za tă lalace, azancin masu azanci zai ɓace.”
Therefore, behold me! again dealing wonderfully with this people, doing wonderfully a wonderful thing, —So shall perish, the wisdom of their wise men, And the intelligence of their intelligent men, shall vanish!
15 Kaiton waɗanda suke zuwa manyan zurfafa don su ɓoye shirye-shiryensu daga Ubangiji, waɗanda suke aikinsu cikin duhu su yi tunani, “Wa yake ganinmu? Wa zai sani?”
Alas! for them who would fain have been too deep for Yahweh by giving secret counsel, —and therefore in the dark, have been their doings, and they have said Who can see us? and—Who can understand us?
16 Kuna birkitar abubuwa, sai ka ce an mayar da mai ginin tukwane ya zama yumɓu! Abin da aka yi zai ce wa wanda ya yi shi, “Ba shi ne ya yi ni ba”? Tukunya za tă iya ce wa mai ginin tukwane, “Ba ka san kome ba”?
Your perverseness! As if like clay, the potter could be reckoned; For shall, the thing made say of him that made it, he made me not? Or hath the thing fashioned ever said of him that fashioned it, He hath no understanding.
17 Cikin ɗan lokaci, za a mai da Lebanon gona mai taƙi kuma gona mai taƙi za tă zama kamar kurmi?
Is it not yet a very little while, And Lebanon shall be turned, into garden land, —And garden land, for a forest, be reckoned?
18 A wannan rana kurame za su ji maganganun littafi, daga duruduru da duhu kuma idanun makafi za su gani.
Therefore, in that day, shall the deaf hear the words of a book, —And out of gloom and darkness, the eyes of the blind shall see;
19 Masu tawali’u za su sāke yin farin ciki a cikin Ubangiji; mabukata za su yi farin ciki cikin Mai Tsarkin nan na Isra’ila.
And again shall the humbled in Yahweh, have joy, —And the needy of mankind in the Holy One of Israel, exult;
20 Masu zalunci za su ƙare, masu ba’a za su ɓace, kuma dukan waɗanda suke da ido don mugunta za su hallaka,
For the tyrant, hath vanished, And the scoffer, is no more, Yea cut off are all who watch for iniquity: —
21 waɗanda ta magana kawai sukan mai da mutum mai laifi, waɗanda suke kafa tarko wa mai ba da kāriya a ɗakin shari’a da shaidar ƙarya kuma su hana marar laifi samun shari’ar adalci.
Who bring a man into condemnation with a rumour, And for him that decideth in the gate, lay a snare, —And have driven away, for a thing of nought, one who was righteous.
22 Saboda haka ga abin da Ubangiji wanda ya fanshi Ibrahim, ya ce wa gidan Yaƙub, “Ba za a ƙara kunyata Yaƙub ba; fuskokinsu kuma ba za su ƙara yanƙwanewa ba.
Therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh, concerning the house of Jacob, [even he saith it] who redeemed Abraham, —Not now, shall, Jacob turn pale, And, not now, shall their faces whiten;
23 Sa’ad da suka ga’ya’yansu a tsakiyarsu, aikin hannuwansu, za su kiyaye sunana da tsarki; za su san tsarkin Mai Tsarkin nan na Yaƙub, za su kuma ji tsoron Allah na Isra’ila.
For, when he seeth his children the work of my hands, in his midst, They will hallow my Name, —Yea they will hallow the Holy One of Jacob, And the God of Israel, will they regard with awe.
24 Su da suke marasa azanci a ruhu za su sami fahimtar; waɗanda suke gunaguni za su yarda da koyarwa.”
Then will they who erred in spirit comprehend, And the murmurers, accept instruction.
