< Ishaya 31 >
1 Kaiton waɗanda suka gangara zuwa Masar don neman taimako, waɗanda suke dogara ga dawakai, waɗanda suke dogara ga yawan kekunan yaƙinsu da kuma a girman ƙarfin mahayan dawakansu, amma ba sa dogara ga Mai Tsarkin nan na Isra’ila, ko ya nemi taimako daga Ubangiji.
Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help, trusting in horses, and putting their confidence in chariots, because they me many: and in horsemen, because they me very strong: and have not trusted in the Holy One of Israel, and have not sought after the Lord.
2 Shi ma yana da hikima kuma zai iya kawo masifa; ba ya janye kalmominsa. Zai yi gāba da gidan mugu, gāba da waɗanda suke taimakon masu aikata mugunta.
But he that is the wise one hath brought evil, and hath not removed his words: and he will rise up against the house of the wicked, and against the aid of them that work iniquity.
3 Amma Masarawa mutane ne ba Allah ba; dawakansu nama da jini ne ba ruhu ba. Sa’ad da Ubangiji ya miƙa hannunsa, shi da yake taimako zai yi tuntuɓe shi da aka taimaka zai fāɗi; dukansu biyu za su hallaka tare.
Egypt is man, and not God: and their horses, flesh, and not spirit: and the Lord shall put down his hand, and the helper shall fall, and he that is helped shall fall, and they shall all be confounded together.
4 Ga abin da Ubangiji ya faɗa mini, “Kamar yadda zaki kan yi ruri babban zaki a kan abin da ya yi farauta, kuma ko da yake dukan ƙungiyar makiyaya sun taru wuri ɗaya a kansa, ba zai jijjigu ta wurin ihunsu ba ko ya damu da kiraye-kirayensu, ta haka Ubangiji Maɗaukaki zai sauko don yă yi yaƙi a kan Dutsen Sihiyona da kuma a kan ƙwanƙolinsa.
For thus saith the Lord to me: Like as the lion roareth, and the lion’s whelp upon his prey, and when a multitude of shepherds shall come against him, he will not fear at their voice, nor be afraid of their multitude: so shall the Lord of hosts come down to fight upon mount Sion, and upon the hill thereof.
5 Kamar tsuntsaye masu shawagi a sama haka Ubangiji Maɗaukaki zai kiyaye Urushalima; zai kāre ta ya kuma fanshe ta, zai ‘ƙetare’ ta ya kuma kuɓutar da ita.”
As birds dying, so will the Lord of hosts protect Jerusalem, protecting and delivering, passing over and saving.
6 Ku dawo gare shi ku da kuka yi masa babban tayarwa, ya Isra’ilawa.
Return as you had deeply revolted, O children of Israel.
7 Gama a wannan rana kowannenku zai ƙi gumakan azurfa da zinariya da hannuwanku masu zunubi suka yi.
For in that day a man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your hands have made for you to sin.
8 “Za a karkashe Assuriyawa da takobin da ba na yin mutum ba; takobi, da ba na yin mutum ba, zai cinye. Za su gudu daga takobi za a kuma sa samarinsu aikin dole.
And the Assyrian shall fall by the sword not of a man, and the sword not of a man shall devour him, and he shall flee not at the face of the sword: and his young men shall be tributaries.
9 Kagararsu za tă fāɗi saboda razana; da ganin matsayin yaƙin, shugabannin yaƙinsu za su firgita,” in ji Ubangiji, wanda wutarsa tana a Sihiyona, wanda matoyarsa tana a Urushalima.
And his strength shall pass away with dread, and his princes fleeing shall be afraid: the Lord hath said it, whose die is in Sion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
