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 silent towards Me, O isles, And the peoples pass on [to] power, They come nigh, then they speak, 'Together — to judgment we draw near.'
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 stirred up from the east a righteous one? He calleth him to His foot, He giveth before him nations, And kings He causeth him to rule, He giveth [them] as dust [to] his sword, As driven stubble [to] his bow.
3 Ya fafare su ya kuma yi tafiyarsa lafiya ƙalau, a hanyar da ƙafafunsa ba su taɓa bi ba.
He pursueth them, he passeth over in safety A path with his feet he entereth not.
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, Calling the generations from the first? I, Jehovah, the first, and with the last I [am] He.
5 Tsibirai sun gan shi suka kuma ji tsoro; iyakokin duniya sun yi rawar jiki. Suka kusato suka kuma zo gaba;
Seen have isles and fear, ends of the earth tremble, They have drawn near, yea, they come.
6 kowa na taimakon wani yana ce wa ɗan’uwansa, “Ka ƙarfafa!”
Each his neighbour they help, And to his brother he saith, 'Be strong.'
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.
And strengthen doth an artisan the refiner, A smoother [with] a hammer, Him who is beating [on] an anvil, Saying, 'For joining it [is] good,' And he strengtheneth it with nails, it is not moved!
8 “Amma kai, ya Isra’ila, bawana, Yaƙub, wanda na zaɓa, zuriyar Ibrahim abokina,
— And thou, O Israel, My servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, Seed of Abraham, My lover,
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.
Whom I have taken hold of, from the ends of the earth, And from its near places I have called thee, And I say to thee, My servant Thou [art], I have chosen thee, and not rejected thee.
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.
Be not afraid, for with thee I [am], Look not around, for I [am] thy God, I have strengthened thee, Yea, I have helped thee, yea, I upheld thee, With the right hand of My righteousness.
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.
Lo, all those displeased with thee, They are ashamed and blush, They are as nothing, yea, perish Do the men who strive with thee.
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 seekest them, and findest them not, The men who debate with thee, They are as nothing, yea, as nothing, The men who war with 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 thy God, Am strengthening thy right hand, He who is saying to thee, 'Fear not, I have helped thee.'
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, O worm Jacob, ye men of Israel, I helped thee, an affirmation of Jehovah, Even thy redeemer, 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.
Lo, I have set thee for a new sharp threshing instrument, Possessing teeth, thou threshest mountains, And beatest small, and hills as chaff thou makest.
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 winnowest them, and a wind lifteth them up, And a whirlwind scattereth them, And thou — thou rejoicest in Jehovah, In the Holy One of Israel dost boast thyself.
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.
The poor and the needy are seeking water, And there is none, Their tongue with thirst hath failed, I, Jehovah do answer them, The God of Israel — I forsake them not.
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 open on high places rivers, And in midst of valleys fountains, I make a wilderness become a pond of water, And a dry land become 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 give in a wilderness the cedar, Shittah, and myrtle, and oil-tree, I set in a desert the fir-pine and box-wood 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.
So that they see, and know, And regard, and act wisely together, For the hand of Jehovah hath done this, And the Holy One of Israel hath prepared it.
21 “Ka gabatar da damuwarka,” in ji Ubangiji. “Ka kawo gardandaminka,” in ji Sarki na Yaƙub.
Bring near your cause, saith Jehovah, Bring nigh your mighty ones, 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,
They bring nigh, and declare to us that which doth happen, The first things — what they [are] declare ye, And we set our heart, and know their latter end, Or the coming things cause us to hear.
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.
Declare the things that are coming hereafter, And we know that ye [are] gods, Yea, ye may do good or do evil, And we look around 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.
Lo, ye [are] of nothing, and your work of nought, An abomination — it fixeth on 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 stirred up [one] from the north, And he cometh, From the rising of the sun he calleth in My name, And he cometh in [on] prefects as [on] clay, And as a potter treadeth down mire.
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 from the first, and we know? And beforetime, and we say, 'Righteous?' yea, there is none declaring, Yea, there is none proclaiming, Yea, there is none hearing your sayings.
27 Ni ne na farkon da ya ce wa Sihiyona, ‘Duba, ga su nan!’ Na ba wa Urushalima saƙon labari mai daɗi.
First to Zion, Behold, behold them, And to Jerusalem one proclaiming tidings I give,
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.
And I see that there is no man, Yea, of these that there is no counsellor, And I ask them, and they return word:
29 Duba, dukansu masu ƙarya ne! Ayyukansu ba su da riba; siffofinsu iska ne kawai da ruɗami.
'Lo, all of them [are] vanity, Nought [are] their works, Wind and emptiness their molten images!'
