Ishaya 43
1 To, fa, ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, shi da ya halicce ka, ya Yaƙub, shi da ya siffanta ka, ya Isra’ila, “Kada ka ji tsoro, gama na fanshe ka; na kira ka da suna; kai nawa ne.
But now thus saith Jehovah, that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed thee, I have called [thee] by thy name; thou art mine.
2 Sa’ad da kuka bi ta ruwaye, zan kasance tare da ku; sa’ad da kuka bi ta koguna, ba za su kwashe ku ba. Sa’ad da kuke tafiyata cikin wuta, ba za tă ƙone ku ba; harsunan wutar ba za su ƙone ku ba.
When thou passest through the waters, I [will be] with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee; when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned, neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
3 Gama ni ne Ubangiji, Allahnku, Mai Tsarkin nan na Isra’ila, Mai Cetonku; na bayar da Masar don fansa, Kush da Seba a maimakonku.
For I [am] Jehovah thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.
4 Da yake ku masu daraja da kuma girma ne a idona, saboda kuma ina ƙaunarku, zan ba da mutane a maimakonku, al’umma kuma domin ranku.
Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee; and I will give men for thee, and peoples for thy life.
5 Kada ku ji tsoro, gama ina tare da ku; zan kawo yaranku daga gabas in kuma tattara ku daga yamma.
Fear not, for I [am] with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west;
6 Zan ce wa arewa, ‘Ku miƙa su!’ Ga kudu kuma, ‘Kada ku riƙe su.’ Kawo’ya’yana maza daga nesa’ya’yana mata kuma daga iyakar duniya,
I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from afar, and my daughters from the end of the earth,
7 kowa da ake kira da sunana, wanda aka halitta saboda ɗaukakata, wanda na siffanta na kuma yi.”
every one that is called by my name, and whom I have created for my glory: I have formed him, yea, I have made him.
8 Jagoranci waɗanda suke da idanu amma suke makafi, waɗanda suke da kunnuwa amma suke kurame.
Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears.
9 Dukan al’ummai su taru mutane kuma su tattaru. Wane ne a cikinsu ya yi faɗar wannan ya kuma yi mana shelar abubuwan da suka riga suka faru? Bari su kawo shaidunsu don su tabbatar cewa sun yi daidai, don waɗansu su ji su kuma ce, “Gaskiya ne.”
Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the peoples be assembled: who among them declareth this, or causeth us to hear former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified; or let them hear, and say, [It is] truth.
10 “Ku ne shaiduna,” in ji Ubangiji, “bawana kuma wanda na zaɓa, saboda ka sani ka kuma gaskata ni ka kuma fahimci cewa ni ne shi. Kafin ni babu allahn da aka siffanta, ba kuwa za a yi wani a bayana ba.
Ye are my witnesses, saith Jehovah, and my servant whom I have chosen; that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I [am] HE: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.
11 Ni kaɗai, ni ne Ubangiji, kuma in ban da ni babu wani mai ceto.
I, I [am] Jehovah; and besides me there is no saviour.
12 Na bayyana na ceci na kuma furta, Ni ne, ba wani baƙon allah a cikinku. Ku ne shaiduna,” in ji Ubangiji, “cewa ni ne Allah.
It is I that have declared, and have saved, and have shewed, when there was no strange [god] among you; and ye are my witnesses, saith Jehovah, that I [am] God.
13 I, kuma tun fil azal ni ne shi. Babu wani da zai amshi daga hannuna. Sa’ad da na aikata, wa zai iya sauyawa?”
Yea, since the day was, I [am] HE, and there is none that delivereth out of my hand: I will work, and who shall hinder it?
14 Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, Mai Fansarku, Mai Tsarkin nan na Isra’ila, “Saboda ku zan aika Babilon in kawo dukan Babiloniyawa kamar masu gudun hijira, a cikin jiragen ruwa waɗanda suke taƙama da su.
Thus saith Jehovah, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and have brought all of them down as fugitives, even the Chaldeans, whose cry is in the ships.
15 Ni ne Ubangiji, Mai Tsarkin nan, Mahaliccin Isra’ila, Sarkinku.”
I [am] Jehovah, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.
16 Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, shi da ya yi hanya ta cikin teku, hanya ta cikin manyan ruwaye,
Thus saith Jehovah, who maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters,
17 wanda ya ja kekunan yaƙi da dawakai, mayaƙa da kuma ƙarin mayaƙa tare ya kwantar da su a can, ba kuwa za su ƙara tashi ba, ya kashe hayaƙi daga lagwani,
who bringeth forth chariot and horse, army and power — they lie down together, they shall not rise; they are extinct, they are quenched as tow:
18 “Ku manta da abubuwan da suka riga suka faru; kada ku yi tunanin abin da ya riga ya wuce.
— Remember not the former things, neither consider the ancient things:
19 Duba, ina yi abu sabo! Yanzu yana faruwa; ba ku gan shi ba? Ina yin hanya a cikin hamada rafuffuka kuma a cikin ƙeƙasasshiyar ƙasa.
behold, I do a new thing; now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, rivers in the waste.
20 Namun jeji suna girmama ni, diloli da mujiyoyi ma haka, domin na tanada musu ruwa a hamada da rafuffuka a ƙeƙasasshiyar ƙasa, don a ba da abin sha ga mutanena, zaɓaɓɓuna,
The beast of the field shall glorify me, the jackals and the ostriches; for I will give waters in the wilderness, rivers in the waste, to give drink to my people, my chosen.
21 mutanen da na yi saboda kaina don su furta yabona.
This people have I formed for myself: they shall shew forth my praise.
22 “Duk da haka ba ku kira bisa sunana ba, ya Yaƙub, ba ku gajiyar da kanku saboda ni ba, ya Isra’ila.
— But thou hast not called upon me, Jacob; for thou hast been weary of me, O Israel:
23 Ba ku kawo mini tumaki don hadaya ta ƙonewa ba, balle ku girmama ni da hadayunku. Ban nawaita muku da hadaya ta gari ba balle in gajiyar da ku da bukatar turare.
thou hast not brought me the small cattle of thy burnt-offerings, neither hast thou glorified me with thy sacrifices. I have not caused thee to toil with an oblation, nor wearied thee with incense.
24 Ba ku saya wani turaren kalamus domina ba ko ku gamshe ni da kitsen hadayunku. Amma kun nawaita ni da zunubanku kuka kuma gajiyar da ni da laifofinku.
Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices; but thou hast made me to toil with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities.
25 “Ni kaɗai ne na shafe laifofinku, saboda sunana, ban kuma ƙara tunawa da zunubanku ba.
— I, I [am] He that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and I will not remember thy sins.
26 Ku tunashe ni abin da ya riga ya wuce, bari mu yi muhawwara wannan batu tare; ku kawo hujjarku na nuna rashin laifinku.
Put me in remembrance, let us plead together; rehearse thine own [cause], that thou mayest be justified.
27 Mahaifinku na farko ya yi zunubi; masu magana a madadinku suka yi mini tayarwa.
Thy first father hath sinned, and thy mediators have rebelled against me.
28 Saboda haka zan kunyata manyan baƙi na haikalinku, zan tura Yaƙub ga hallaka Isra’ila kuwa yă zama abin dariya.
And I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and have given Jacob to the ban, and Israel to reproaches.
