Ishaya 42
1 “Ga bawana, wanda na ɗaukaka, zaɓaɓɓen nan nawa wanda nake jin daɗi; Zan sa Ruhuna a cikinsa zai kuwa kawo adalci ga al’ummai.
See my servant, whom I am supporting, my loved one, in whom I take delight: I have put my spirit on him; he will give the knowledge of the true God to the nations.
2 Ba zai yi ihu ko ya tā da murya, ko ya daga muryarsa a tituna ba.
He will make no cry, his voice will not be loud: his words will not come to men's ears in the streets.
3 Iwan da ta tanƙware ba zai karye ba, ba zai kashe lagwani mai hayaƙi ba. Cikin aminci zai kawo adalci;
He will not let a crushed stem be quite broken, and he will not let a feebly burning light be put out: he will go on sending out the true word to the peoples.
4 ba zai kāsa ko ya karai ba sai ya kafa adalci a duniya. Cikin dokarsa tsibirai za su sa zuciya.”
His light will not be put out, and he will not be crushed, till he has given the knowledge of the true God to the earth, and the sea-lands will be waiting for his teaching.
5 Ga abin da Allah Ubangiji ya ce, shi da ya halicci sammai ya kuma miƙe su, wanda ya shimfiɗa duniya da dukan abin da ya fito cikinta, wanda ya ba wa mutanenta numfashi, da rai ga waɗanda suke tafiya a kanta.
God the Lord, even he who made the heavens, measuring them out on high; stretching out the earth, and giving its produce; he who gives breath to the people on it, and life to those who go about on it, says:
6 “Ni Ubangiji, na kira ka cikin adalci; zan riƙe hannunka. Zan kiyaye ka in kuma sa ka zama alkawari ga mutane haske kuma ga Al’ummai,
I the Lord have made you the vessel of my purpose, I have taken you by the hand, and kept you safe, and I have given you to be an agreement to the people, and a light to the nations:
7 don ka buɗe idanun makafi ka’yantar da kamammu daga kurkuku kuma kunce ɗaurarrun kurkuku masu zama cikin duhu.
To give eyes to the blind, to make free the prisoners from the prison, to let out those who are shut up in the dark.
8 “Ni ne Ubangiji; sunana ke nan! Ba zan ba da ɗaukakata ga wani ba ko yabona ga gumaka.
I am the Lord; that is my name: I will not give my glory to another, or my praise to pictured images.
9 Duba, abubuwan da sun tabbata, sababbin abubuwa kuwa nake furtawa; kafin ma su soma faruwa na sanar da su gare ku.”
See, the things said before have come about, and now I give word of new things: before they come I give you news of them.
10 Ku rera sabuwar waƙa ga Ubangiji, ku yi yabonsa daga iyakar duniya, ku da kuka gangara zuwa teku, da kome da yake cikinsa, ku tsibirai, da waɗanda suke zama a cikinsu.
Make a new song to the Lord, and let his praise be sounded from the end of the earth; you who go down to the sea, and everything in it, the sea-lands and their people.
11 Bari hamada da garuruwanta su tā da muryoyinsu; bari wuraren zaman da Kedar ke zama su yi farin ciki. Bari mutanen Sela su rera don farin ciki; bari su yi sowa daga ƙwanƙolin duwatsu.
Let the waste land and its flocks be glad, the tent-circles of Kedar; let the people of the rock give a glad cry, from the top of the mountains let them make a sound of joy.
12 Bari su ɗaukaka Ubangiji su kuma yi shelar yabonsa a tsibirai.
Let them give glory to the Lord, sounding his praise in the sea-lands.
13 Ubangiji zai fita ya yi yaƙi kamar mai ƙarfi, kamar jarumi zai yi himma; da ihu zai tā da kirarin yaƙi zai kuma yi nasara a kan abokan gābansa.
The Lord will go out as a man of war, he will be moved to wrath like a fighting-man: his voice will be strong, he will give a loud cry; he will go against his attackers like a man of war.
14 “Na daɗe ina shiru, na yi shiru na kuma ƙame kaina. Amma yanzu, kamar mace mai naƙuda, na yi ƙara, ina nishi ina kuma haki.
I have long been quiet, I have kept myself in and done nothing: now I will make sounds of pain like a woman in childbirth, breathing hard and quickly.
15 Zan lalatar da duwatsu da tuddai in busar da dukan itatuwansu; zan mai da koguna su zama tsibirai in kuma busar da tafkuna.
I will make waste mountains and hills, drying up all their plants; and I will make rivers dry, and pools dry land.
16 Zan yi wa makafi jagora a hanyoyin da ba su taɓa sani ba, a hanyoyin da ba a saba ba zan bishe su; zan mai da duhu ya zama haske a gabansu in kuma mai da ƙasa mai kururrumai ta zama sumul. Abubuwan da zan yi ke nan; ba zan yashe su ba.
And I will take the blind by a way of which they had no knowledge, guiding them by roads strange to them: I will make the dark places light before them, and the rough places level. These things will I do and will not give them up.
17 Amma waɗanda suka dogara ga gumaka, waɗanda suke ce wa siffofi, ‘Ku ne allolinmu,’ za a mai da su baya da kunya.
They will be turned back and be greatly shamed who put their hope in pictured images, who say to metal images, You are our gods.
18 “Ka ji, kai kurma; duba, kai makaho, ka kuma gani!
Give ear, you whose ears are shut; and let your eyes be open, you blind, so that you may see.
19 Wane ne makaho in ba bawana ba, da kuma kurma in ba ɗan aikan da na aika ba? Wane ne makaho kamar wanda ya miƙa kai gare ni, makaho kamar bawan Ubangiji?
Who is blind, but my servant? who has his ears stopped, but he whom I send? who is blind as my true one, or who has his ears shut like the Lord's servant?
20 Kun ga abubuwa masu yawa, amma ba ku kula ba; kunnuwanku suna a buɗe, amma ba kwa jin wani abu.”
Seeing much, but keeping nothing in mind; his ears are open, but there is no hearing.
21 Yakan gamsar da Ubangiji saboda adalcinsa ya sa dokarsa ta zama mai girma da kuma mai ɗaukaka.
It was the Lord's pleasure, because of his righteousness, to make the teaching great and give it honour.
22 Amma ga mutanen da aka washe aka kuma kwashe ganima, an yi wa dukansu tarko a cikin rammuka ko kuma an ɓoye su cikin kurkuku. Sun zama ganima, babu wani da zai kuɓutar da su; an mai da su ganima, ba wanda zai ce, “Mayar da su.”
But this is a people whose property has been taken away from them by force; they are all taken in holes, and shut up in prisons: they are made prisoners, and no one makes them free; they are taken by force and no one says, Give them back.
23 Wane ne a cikinku zai saurari wannan ko ya kasa kunne sosai a cikin kwanaki masu zuwa?
Who is there among you who will give ear to this? who will give attention to it for the time to come?
24 Wa ya ba da Yaƙub don yă zama ganima Isra’ila kuma ga masu kwasar ganima? Ba Ubangiji ba ne, wanda kuka yi wa zunubi? Gama ba su bi hanyoyinsa ba; ba su yi biyayya da dokarsa ba.
Who gave up Jacob to those who took away his goods, and Israel to his attackers? Did not the Lord? he against whom they did wrong, and in whose ways they would not go, turning away from his teaching.
25 Saboda haka ya zuba musu zafin fushinsa, yaƙi mai tsanani. Ya rufe su cikin harsunan wuta, duk da haka ba su gane ba; ya cinye su, amma ba su koyi kome ba.
For this reason he let loose on him the heat of his wrath, and his strength was like a flame; and it put fire round about him, but he did not see it; he was burned, but did not take it to heart.
