Ishaya 41
1 “Ku yi shiru a gabana, ku tsibirai! Bari al’ummai su sabunta ƙarfinsu! Bari su zo gaba su yi magana; bari mu sadu a wurin shari’a.
Keep silence, and hear me, ye distant lands. Ye nations, gather your strength! Let them come near; then let them speak; Let us go together into judgment.
2 “Wa ya zuga wannan daga gabas, yana kiransa cikin adalci ga yin hidima? Ya miƙa masa al’ummai ya kuma yi nasara da sarakuna a gabansa. Ya mai da su ƙura da takobinsa, zuwa inda iska ke hurawa ta wurin bugun da ya yi musu.
Who hath raised up from the region of the East Him whom victory meeteth in his march? Who hath subdued nations before him, And given him dominion over kings? Who made their swords like dust, And their bows like driven stubble?
3 Ya fafare su ya kuma yi tafiyarsa lafiya ƙalau, a hanyar da ƙafafunsa ba su taɓa bi ba.
He pursued them, and passed in safety, By a path which his foot had never trodden.
4 Wane ne ya taɓa yin haka ya kuma sa ya faru, yana kira ga tsararraki daga farko? Ni, Ubangiji ina can tun farkonsu ni kuma ina can har ƙarshe, Ni ne shi.”
Who hath wrought and done it? I, who have called the generations from the beginning, I, Jehovah, the first; And with the last also am I.
5 Tsibirai sun gan shi suka kuma ji tsoro; iyakokin duniya sun yi rawar jiki. Suka kusato suka kuma zo gaba;
Distant nations saw it, and were afraid; The ends of the earth, and trembled; They drew near, and came together.
6 kowa na taimakon wani yana ce wa ɗan’uwansa, “Ka ƙarfafa!”
One helped another, And said to him, “Be of good courage!”
7 Masassaƙi yakan ƙarfafa maƙerin zinariya, kuma shi mai gyara da guduma ya yi sumul yakan ƙarfafa mai harhaɗawa. Ya ce game da haɗin, “Ya yi kyau.” Yakan buga ƙusoshi su riƙe gunkin don kada yă fāɗi.
The carpenter encouraged the smith, He that smoothed with the hammer him that smote on the anvil, And said, “The soldering is good,” And he fastened it with nails that it might not fall.
8 “Amma kai, ya Isra’ila, bawana, Yaƙub, wanda na zaɓa, zuriyar Ibrahim abokina,
But thou, O Israel, my servant, Thou, Jacob, whom I have chosen, Offspring of Abraham, my friend!
9 na ɗauke ka daga iyakar duniya, daga kusurwoyi masu nesa na kira ka. Na ce, ‘Kai bawana ne’; na zaɓe ka ban kuwa ƙi ka ba.
Thou, whom I have led by the hand from the ends of the earth, And called from the extremities thereof, And said to thee, “Thou art my servant, I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away!”
10 Saboda haka kada ka ji tsoro, gama ina tare da kai; kada ka karai, gama ni ne Allahnka. Zan ƙarfafa ka in kuma taimake ka; zan riƙe ka da hannun damana mai adalci.
Fear not, for I am with thee; Faint not, for I, thy God, will strengthen thee; I will help thee, and sustain thee, with my right hand of salvation!
11 “Duk wanda ya yi fushi da kai tabbatacce zai sha kunya da ƙasƙanci; waɗanda suka yi hamayya da kai za su zama kamar ba kome ba su kuma hallaka.
Behold, all who are enraged against thee Shall be ashamed and confounded; All that contend with thee Shall come to nothing and perish.
12 Ko ka nemi abokan gābanka, ba za ka same su ba. Waɗanda suke yaƙi da kai za su zama kamar ba kome ba.
Thou shalt seek and not find Them that contend with thee; They shall come to nothing, and be no more, Who make war against thee.
13 Gama ni ne Ubangiji Allahnka, wanda ya riƙe ka da hannun damana ya kuma ce maka, Kada ka ji tsoro; zan taimake ka.
For I, Jehovah, am thy God, that holdeth thee by the right hand, That saith to thee, “Fear not, I am thy helper!”
14 Kada ka ji tsoro, ya Yaƙub marar ƙarfi, ya ƙaramin Isra’ila, gama ni kaina zan taimake ka,” in ji Ubangiji, Mai Fansarka, Mai Tsarkin nan na Isra’ila.
Fear not, thou worm Jacob, thou feeble people of Israel! I am thy helper, saith Jehovah; Thy redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.
15 “Duba, zan sa ka cikin abin sussuka, saboda kuma mai kaifi mai haƙora da yawa. Za ka yi sussukar duwatsu ka ragargaza su, ka kuma farfashe tuddai su zama kamar yayi.
Behold, I will make thee a thrashing-wain, sharp and new, With double edges; Thou shalt thrash the mountains, and beat them small, And make the hills as chaff.
16 Za ka tankaɗe su, iska kuma ta kwashe su, guguwa kuma za tă warwatsa su. Amma za ka yi farin ciki a cikin Ubangiji ka kuma ɗaukaka a cikin Mai Tsarkin nan na Isra’ila.
Thou shalt winnow them, and the wind shall carry them away, And the whirlwind shall scatter them. But thou shalt rejoice in Jehovah, And glory in the Holy One of Israel.
17 “Matalauta da mabukata suna neman ruwa, amma babu kome; harsunansu sun bushe saboda ƙishi. Amma Ni Ubangiji zan amsa musu; Ni, Allah na Isra’ila, ba zan yashe su ba.
When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, And their tongue is parched with thirst, I, Jehovah, will hear them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them.
18 Zan sa koguna su malalo a ƙeƙasassun tuddai, maɓulɓulan ruwa kuma a kwaruruka. Zan mai da hamada tafkunan ruwa, busasshiyar ƙasa kuma ta zama maɓulɓulan ruwa.
I will open rivers upon the bare hills, And fountains in the midst of the valleys; I will make the wilderness a pool of water, And the dry land springs of water.
19 Zan sa a hamada ta tsiro da al’ul da itacen ƙirya, da itacen ci-zaƙi, da zaitun. Zan sa itace mai girma a ƙasashe masu sanyi ya tsiro a ƙeƙasasshiyar ƙasa, tare da fir da kuma saifires,
I will plant in the wilderness the cedar and the acacia, The myrtle and the olive-tree; I will place in the desert the cypress, The plane-tree and the larch together.
20 don mutane su gani su kuma sani, su lura su kuma fahimci, cewa hannun Ubangiji ne ya aikata haka, cewa Mai Tsarkin nan na Isra’ila ya sa abin ya faru.
That they may see, and know, And consider, and understand together, That the hand of Jehovah hath done this, And that the Holy One of Israel hath created it.
21 “Ka gabatar da damuwarka,” in ji Ubangiji. “Ka kawo gardandaminka,” in ji Sarki na Yaƙub.
Bring forward your cause, saith Jehovah; Produce your strong reasons, saith the king of Jacob.
22 “Ka shigar da gumakanka don su faɗa mana abin da zai faru. Faɗa mana abubuwan da suka riga suka faru, domin mu lura da su mu kuma san abin da zai faru a ƙarshe. Ko kuwa ku furta mana abubuwan da za su faru,
Let them produce them, and show us what shall happen! Tell us what ye have predicted in times past, That we may consider, and know its fulfilment! Or declare to us things that are to come!
23 faɗa mana abin da nan gaba ta ƙunsa, don mu san cewa ku alloli ne. Ku yi wani abu, mai kyau ko mummuna, don mu ji tsoro da fargaba.
Let us hear what shall happen in future times, That we may know whether ye are gods; Do something, be it good or evil, That we may be astonished, and see it together!
24 Amma ku ba kome ba ne kuma ayyukanku banza da wofi ne; duk wanda ya zaɓe ku abin ƙyama ne.
Behold, ye are less than nothing, And your work is less than naught; An abomination is he that chooseth you!
25 “Na zuga wani daga arewa, ya kuwa zo, wani daga inda rana ke fitowa wanda yake kira bisa sunana. Yana takawa a kan masu mulki kamar da taɓarya, sai ka ce maginin tukwane yana taka laka.
I have raised up one from the north, and he cometh; From the rising of the sun he calleth upon my name; He trampleth upon princes as upon mortar; As the potter treadeth down the clay.
26 Wa ya faɗi wannan tun daga farko, don mu sani, ko kafin ya faru, don mu ce, ‘Ya faɗi daidai’? Ba wanda ya faɗa wannan, ba wanda ya riga faɗe shi, ba wanda ya ji wata magana daga gare ku.
Who hath declared this from the beginning, that we might know it, And long ago, that we might say, It is true? There was not one that foretold it, not one that declared it, Not one that heard your words.
27 Ni ne na farkon da ya ce wa Sihiyona, ‘Duba, ga su nan!’ Na ba wa Urushalima saƙon labari mai daɗi.
I first said to Zion, Behold! behold them! And I gave to Jerusalem a messenger of glad tidings.
28 Na duba amma ba kowa ba wani a cikinsu da zai ba da shawara, ba wani da zai ba da amsa sa’ad da na tambaye su.
I looked, but there was no man; Even among them, but there was none that gave counsel; I inquired of them that they might give an answer;
29 Duba, dukansu masu ƙarya ne! Ayyukansu ba su da riba; siffofinsu iska ne kawai da ruɗami.
But behold, they are all vanity; Their works are nothing; Wind and emptiness are their molten images.
