Ishaya 40
1 Ta’aziyya, ku ta’azantu mutanena, in ji Allahnku.
“Comfort, comfort 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.
“Speak tenderly to Jerusalem; and proclaim to her that her warfare has ended, that her iniquity is pardoned, that she has received double from Yahweh's hand 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 cries out, “In the wilderness prepare the way of Yahweh; make straight in the Arabah 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 will be lifted up, and every mountain and hill will be leveled; and the rugged land will 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 Yahweh will be revealed, and all people will see it together; for the mouth of Yahweh has 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.
A voice says, “Cry.” Another answers, “What should I cry?” “All flesh is grass, and all their covenant faithfulness is 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 withers and the flower wilts when the breath of Yahweh blows on it; surely humanity is grass.
8 Hakika ciyawa takan yanƙwane, furanni kuma su yi yaushi, amma maganar Allahnmu tana nan daram har abada.”
The grass withers, the flower wilts, but the word of our God will stand forever.”
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!”
Go up on a high mountain, Zion, bearer of good news. Shout out loud, Jerusalem. You who bring good news, raise your voice, do not be afraid. Say to the cities of Judah, “Here is 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.
Look, the Lord Yahweh comes as a victorious warrior, and his strong arm rules for him. See, his reward is with him, and those he has rescued 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 feed his flock like a shepherd, he will gather in his arm the lambs, and carry them close to his heart, and will gently lead the ewes nursing their 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?
Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, measured the sky with the span of his hand, held the dust of the earth in a basket, weighed the mountains in scales, or the hills in a balance?
13 Wane ne ya fahimci zuciyarUbangiji, ko kuwa ya koya masa a matsayin mashawarcinsa?
Who has comprehended the mind of Yahweh, or instructed him as his counselor?
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?
From whom did he ever receive instruction? Who taught him the correct way to do things, and taught him knowledge, or showed to him the way of understanding?
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.
Look, the nations are like a drop in a bucket, and are regarded like the dust on the scales; see, he weighs the isles as a speck.
16 Itatuwan Lebanon ba su isa a yi wutar bagade da su ba, balle dabbobinsa su isa yin hadayun ƙonawa.
Lebanon is not sufficient fuel, nor its wild animals sufficient for a burnt 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 insufficient before him; they are regarded by him as nothing.
18 To, ga wane ne za ka kwatanta Allah? Wace siffa za ka kwatanta shi da ita?
To whom then will you compare God? To what idol will you liken him?
19 Gunki dai, maƙeri kan yi zubinsa, maƙerin zinariya kuma yă ƙera shi da zinariya yă kuma sarrafa masa sarƙoƙin azurfa.
An idol! A craftsman casts it: The goldsmith overlays it with gold and forges silver chains 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.
To make an offering one chooses a wood that will not rot; he seeks a skillful artisan to make an idol that will not fall over.
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 not known? Have you not heard? Has it not been told you from the beginning? Have you not understood from 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.
He is the one who sits above the horizon of the earth; and the inhabitants are like grasshoppers before him. He stretches out the heavens like a curtain and spreads them out as a tent to live in.
23 Yakan mai da sarakuna ba kome ba yă mai da masu mulkin wannan duniya wofi.
He reduces rulers to nothing and makes the rulers of the earth insignificant.
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 are barely planted, barely sown, their stem has barely taken root in the earth, when he blows upon them and they wither, and the wind carries them away like straw.
25 “Ga wa za ku kwatanta ni? Ko kuwa wa yake daidai da ni?” In ji Mai Tsarkin nan.
“To whom then will you compare me, whom do I resemble?” 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.
Look up at the sky! Who has created all these stars? He leads out their formations and calls them all by name. By the greatness of his might and by the strength of his power, not one is missing.
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, Jacob, and declare, Israel, “My way is hidden from Yahweh, and my God is not concerned about my vindication”?
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 not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, Yahweh, the Creator of the ends of the earth, does not get tired or weary; there is no limit to his understanding.
29 Yakan ba da ƙarfi ga waɗanda suka gaji yă kuma ƙara ƙarfi ga marasa ƙarfi.
He gives strength to the tired; and to the weak he gives renewed energy.
30 Ko matasa ma kan gaji su kuma kasala, samari kuma kan yi tuntuɓe su fāɗi;
Even young people become tired and weary, and young men stumble and 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 those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength; they will soar with wings like eagles; they will run and not be weary; they will walk and not faint.
