Ishaya 40
1 Ta’aziyya, ku ta’azantu mutanena, in ji Allahnku.
Give comfort, give comfort, to my people, says your God.
2 Yi magana mai kwantar da rai ga Urushalima, ku kuma furta mata cewa aiki mai zafinta ya isa, cewa an fanshi zunubinta, cewa ta karɓi daga hannun Ubangiji ninki biyu saboda dukan zunubanta.
Say kind words to the heart of Jerusalem, crying out to her that her time of trouble is ended, that her punishment is complete; that she has been rewarded by the Lord's hand twice over for all her sins.
3 Muryar wani tana kira cewa, “A cikin hamada ku shirya hanya saboda Ubangiji; ku miƙe manyan hanyoyi domin Allahnmu a cikin jeji.
A voice of one crying, Make ready in the waste land the way of the Lord, make level in the lowland a highway for our God.
4 Za a cike kowane kwari, a baje kowane dutse da kowane tudu; za a mayar da karkatattun wurare su zama sumul, munanan wurare kuma su zama da kyau.
Let every valley be lifted up, and every mountain and hill be made low, and let the rough places become level, and the hilltops become a valley,
5 Za a kuma bayyana ɗaukakar Ubangiji, dukan mutane kuwa za su gan ta. Gama Ubangiji da kansa ne ya yi magana.”
And the glory of the Lord will be made clear, and all flesh will see it together, for the mouth of the Lord has said it.
6 Muryar tana cewa, “Ka yi shela.” Na kuwa ce, “Me zan yi shelar?” “Dukan mutane kamar ciyawa suke, kuma dukan ɗaukakarsu kamar furannin jeji ne.
A voice of one saying, Give a cry! And I said, What is my cry to be? All flesh is grass, and all its strength like the flower of the field.
7 Ciyawa takan yanƙwane, furanni kuma su yi yaushi, domin Ubangiji ya hura iska a kansu. Tabbatacce mutane ciyawa ne.
The grass becomes dry, the flower is dead; because the breath of the Lord goes over it: truly the people is grass.
8 Hakika ciyawa takan yanƙwane, furanni kuma su yi yaushi, amma maganar Allahnmu tana nan daram har abada.”
The grass is dry, the flower is dead; but the word of our God is eternal.
9 Kai da ka kawo labari mai daɗi wa Sihiyona, ka haura a bisa dutse. Kai da ka kawo labari mai daɗi wa Urushalima, ka tā da muryarka ka yi ihu, ka ɗaga ta, kada ka ji tsoro; faɗa wa garuruwan Yahuda, “Ga Allahnku!”
You who give good news to Zion, get up into the high mountain; you who give good news to Jerusalem, let your voice be strong; let it be sounding without fear; say to the towns of Judah, See, your God!
10 Duba, Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka yana zuwa da iko, hannunsa kuma yana yin mulki dominsa. Duba, ladarsa tana tare da shi, sakamakonsa kuma na rakiyarsa.
See, the Lord God will come as a strong one, ruling in power: see, those made free by him are with him, and those whom he has made safe go before him.
11 Yakan lura da garkensa kamar makiyayi. Yakan tattara tumaki wuri ɗaya yă riƙe su kurkusa da ƙirjinsa; a hankali kuma yakan bi da masu ba da mama.
He will give food to his flock like a keeper of sheep; with his arm he will get it together, and will take up the lambs on his breast, gently guiding those which are with young.
12 Wane ne ya auna ruwaye a tafin hannunsa, ko kuwa ya gwada tsawon sammai da fāɗin tafin hannunsa? Wane ne ya riƙe ƙurar ƙasa a kwando, ko kuwa ya auna nauyin duwatsu a magwaji, tuddai kuma a ma’auni?
In the hollow of whose hand have the waters been measured? and who is able to take the heavens in his stretched-out fingers? who has got together the dust of the earth in a measure? who has taken the weight of the mountains, or put the hills into the scales?
13 Wane ne ya fahimci zuciyarUbangiji, ko kuwa ya koya masa a matsayin mashawarcinsa?
By whom has the spirit of the Lord been guided, or who has been his teacher?
14 Wane ne Ubangiji ya nemi shawararsa don yă ganar da shi, wane ne kuma ya koya masa hanyar da ta dace? Wane ne ya koya masa sani ko ya nuna masa hanyar fahimta?
Who gave him suggestions, and made clear to him the right way? who gave him knowledge, guiding him in the way of wisdom?
15 Tabbatacce al’ummai suna kama da ɗigon ruwa a cikin bokiti an ɗauke su a matsayin ƙura a kan magwaji; yakan auna tsibirai sai ka ce ƙura mai laushi.
See, the nations are to him like a drop hanging from a bucket, and like the small dust in the scales: he takes up the islands like small dust.
16 Itatuwan Lebanon ba su isa a yi wutar bagade da su ba, balle dabbobinsa su isa yin hadayun ƙonawa.
And Lebanon is not enough to make a fire with, or all its cattle enough for a burned offering.
17 A gabansa dukan al’ummai ba kome ba ne; ya ɗauke su ba a bakin kome ba kuma banza ne kurum.
All the nations are as nothing before him; even less than nothing, a thing of no value.
18 To, ga wane ne za ka kwatanta Allah? Wace siffa za ka kwatanta shi da ita?
Whom then is God like, in your opinion? or what will you put forward as a comparison with him?
19 Gunki dai, maƙeri kan yi zubinsa, maƙerin zinariya kuma yă ƙera shi da zinariya yă kuma sarrafa masa sarƙoƙin azurfa.
The workman makes an image, and the gold-worker puts gold plates over it, and makes silver bands for it.
20 Mutumin da talauci ya sha kansa da ba zai iya miƙa irin hadayar nan ba kan zaɓi itacen da ba zai ruɓe ba. Yakan nemi gwanin sassaƙa don yă sassaƙa masa gunkin da ba zai fāɗi ba.
The wise workman makes selection of the mulberry-tree of the offering, a wood which will not become soft; so that the image may be fixed to it and not be moved.
21 Ba ku sani ba? Ba ku taɓa ji ba? Ba a faɗa muku daga farko ba? Ba ku fahimta ba tun kafawar duniya?
Have you no knowledge of it? has it not come to your ears? has not news of it been given to you from the first? has it not been clear to you from the time when the earth was placed on its base?
22 Yana zaune a kursiyi a bisa iyakar duniya, kuma mutanenta suna kama da fāra. Ya miƙa sammai kamar rumfa, ya kuma shimfiɗa su kamar tentin da za a zauna a ciki.
It is he who is seated over the arch of the earth, and the people in it are as small as locusts; by him the heavens are stretched out like an arch, and made ready like a tent for a living-place.
23 Yakan mai da sarakuna ba kome ba yă mai da masu mulkin wannan duniya wofi.
He makes rulers come to nothing; the judges of the earth are of no value.
24 Ba da jimawa ba bayan an shuka su, ba da jimawa ba bayan an dasa su, ba da jimawa ba bayan sun yi saiwa a ƙasa, sai yă hura musu iska su yanƙwane, guguwa kuma ta kwashe su kamar yayi.
They have only now been planted, and their seed put into the earth, and they have only now taken root, when he sends out his breath over them and they become dry, and the storm-wind takes them away like dry grass.
25 “Ga wa za ku kwatanta ni? Ko kuwa wa yake daidai da ni?” In ji Mai Tsarkin nan.
Who then seems to you to be my equal? says the Holy One.
26 Ku ɗaga idanunku ku duba sammai. Wane ne ya halicce dukan waɗannan? Wane ne ya fitar da rundunar taurari ɗaya-ɗaya, yana kiransu, kowanne da sunansa. Saboda ikonsa mai girma da kuma ƙarfinsa mai girma, babu ko ɗayansu da ya ɓace.
Let your eyes be lifted up on high, and see: who has made these? He who sends out their numbered army: who has knowledge of all their names: by whose great strength, because he is strong in power, all of them are in their places.
27 Ya Yaƙub, ya Isra’ila, me ya sa kake ce kana kuma gunaguni cewa, “Hanyata tana a ɓoye daga Ubangiji; Allah bai kula da abin da yake damuna ba”?
Why do you say, O Jacob, such words as these, O Israel, The Lord's eyes are not on my way, and my God gives no attention to my cause?
28 Ba ku sani ba? Ba ku ji ba? Ubangiji madawwamin Allah ne, Mahaliccin iyakokin duniya. Ba zai taɓa gaji ko yă kasala ba, kuma fahimtarsa ya wuce gaban ganewar mutum.
Have you no knowledge of it? has it not come to your ears? The eternal God, the Lord, the Maker of the ends of the earth, is never feeble or tired; there is no searching out of his wisdom.
29 Yakan ba da ƙarfi ga waɗanda suka gaji yă kuma ƙara ƙarfi ga marasa ƙarfi.
He gives power to the feeble, increasing the strength of him who has no force.
30 Ko matasa ma kan gaji su kuma kasala, samari kuma kan yi tuntuɓe su fāɗi;
Even the young men will become feeble and tired, and the best of them will come to the end of his strength;
31 amma waɗanda suka dogara ga Ubangiji za su sabunta ƙarfinsu. Za su yi firiya da fikafikai kamar gaggafa; za su kuma yi gudu ba kuwa za su gaji ba, za su yi tafiya ba kuwa za su kasala ba.
But those who are waiting for the Lord will have new strength; they will get wings like eagles: running, they will not be tired, and walking, they will have no weariness.
