Ishaya 40
1 Ta’aziyya, ku ta’azantu mutanena, in ji Allahnku.
Comfort ye, comfort ye My people, saith 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.
Bid Jerusalem take heart, and proclaim unto her, that her time of service is accomplished, that her guilt is paid off; that she hath received of the LORD'S hand double 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.
Hark! one calleth: 'Clear ye in the wilderness the way of the LORD, make plain in the desert 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.
Every valley shall be lifted up, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; and the rugged shall be made level, and the rough places a plain;
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 shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together; for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken 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.
Hark! one saith: 'Proclaim!' And he saith: 'What shall I proclaim?' 'All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as 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 withereth, the flower fadeth; because the breath of the LORD bloweth upon it — surely the people is grass.
8 Hakika ciyawa takan yanƙwane, furanni kuma su yi yaushi, amma maganar Allahnmu tana nan daram har abada.”
The grass withereth, the flower fadeth; but the word of our God shall stand for ever.'
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!”
O thou that tellest good tidings to Zion, get thee up into the high mountain; O thou that tellest good tidings to Jerusalem, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah: 'Behold 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.
Behold, the Lord GOD will come as a Mighty One, and His arm will rule for Him; behold, His reward is with Him, and His recompense 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.
Even as a shepherd that feedeth his flock, that gathereth the lambs in his arm, and carrieth them in his bosom, and gently leadeth those that give suck.
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?
Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?
13 Wane ne ya fahimci zuciyarUbangiji, ko kuwa ya koya masa a matsayin mashawarcinsa?
Who hath meted out the spirit of the LORD? Or who was His counsellor that he might instruct Him?
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?
With whom took He counsel, and who instructed Him, and taught Him in the path of right, and taught Him knowledge, and made Him to know the way of discernment?
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.
Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance; behold the isles are as a mote in weight.
16 Itatuwan Lebanon ba su isa a yi wutar bagade da su ba, balle dabbobinsa su isa yin hadayun ƙonawa.
And Lebanon is not sufficient fuel, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for burnt-offerings.
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; they are accounted by Him as things of nought, and vanity.
18 To, ga wane ne za ka kwatanta Allah? Wace siffa za ka kwatanta shi da ita?
To whom then will ye liken God? Or what likeness will ye compare unto Him?
19 Gunki dai, maƙeri kan yi zubinsa, maƙerin zinariya kuma yă ƙera shi da zinariya yă kuma sarrafa masa sarƙoƙin azurfa.
The image perchance, which the craftsman hath melted, and the goldsmith spread over with gold, the silversmith casting silver chains?
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.
A holm-oak is set apart, he chooseth a tree that will not rot; he seeketh unto him a cunning craftsman to set up an image, that shall 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?
Know ye not? hear ye not? Hath it not been told you from the beginning? Have ye not understood the foundations of the earth?
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 that sitteth above the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in;
23 Yakan mai da sarakuna ba kome ba yă mai da masu mulkin wannan duniya wofi.
That bringeth princes to nothing; He maketh the judges of the earth as a thing of nought.
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.
Scarce are they planted, scarce are they sown, scarce hath their stock taken root in the earth; when He bloweth upon them, they wither, and the whirlwind taketh them away as stubble.
25 “Ga wa za ku kwatanta ni? Ko kuwa wa yake daidai da ni?” In ji Mai Tsarkin nan.
To whom then will ye liken Me, that I should be equal? saith 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.
Lift up your eyes on high, and see: who hath created these? He that bringeth out their host by number, He calleth them all by name; by the greatness of His might, and for that He is strong in power, not one faileth.
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 sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel: 'My way is hid from the LORD, and my right is passed over from my God'?
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.
Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? His discernment is past searching out.
29 Yakan ba da ƙarfi ga waɗanda suka gaji yă kuma ƙara ƙarfi ga marasa ƙarfi.
He giveth power to the faint; and to him that hath no might He increaseth strength.
30 Ko matasa ma kan gaji su kuma kasala, samari kuma kan yi tuntuɓe su fāɗi;
Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall;
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 they that wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint.
