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, That formed thee, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed thee; I have called thee by 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 waters, I will be with thee; And through rivers, they shall not overflow thee; When thou walkest through fire, thou shalt not be burned, And the flame shall not consume 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 will give 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.
Because thou art precious in my sight, Because thou art honored, and I love thee, Therefore will I give men for thee, And nations 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 children 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 them up!” And to the South, “Withhold them not! Bring my sons from afar, And my daughters from the ends 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, That I have created for my glory, That I have formed and made!”
8 Jagoranci waɗanda suke da idanu amma suke makafi, waɗanda suke da kunnuwa amma suke kurame.
Bring forth the blind people, having eyes, And the deaf, having 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 the kingdoms be assembled! Who among them hath declared this, And can show us former predictions? Let them produce their witnesses that they are right; That men may hear, and say, It is true!
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 was no god formed, And after me there shall be none.
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.
I have declared and have saved; I made it known, when there was no strange god among you; 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?”
Even from the beginning of time I have been He, And none can rescue from my hand; I undertake, and who can hinder?
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 sakes have I sent to Babylon, And caused all her fugitives, And the Chaldeans, to descend to the ships of their delight.
15 Ni ne Ubangiji, Mai Tsarkin nan, Mahaliccin Isra’ila, Sarkinku.”
I, Jehovah, am 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, —He that made 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,
That caused the chariot and the horse, the army and the forces, to march forth; There they lay down together; they rose no more; They were extinguished; they were quenched like a torch; —
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; The things of old regard no more!
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 shall it spring forth; yea, ye shall see it. Behold, I make a way in the wilderness, And streams in the desert;
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 beasts of the forest shall honor me, The jackals and the ostriches; For I make rivers in the wilderness And streams in the desert, To give drink to my people, my chosen.
21 mutanen da na yi saboda kaina don su furta yabona.
This people, which I have formed for myself Shall make known 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.
Yet thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob, So as to have wearied thyself for 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 thy lambs for a burnt-offering, Nor honored me with thy sacrifices; I have not burdened thee with oblations, 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-smelling reed with silver, Neither hast thou satisfied me with the fat of thy sacrifices; With thy sins hast thou burdened me, And wearied me with thine iniquities.
25 “Ni kaɗai ne na shafe laifofinku, saboda sunana, ban kuma ƙara tunawa da zunubanku ba.
I, I myself, blot out thy transgressions for my own sake, And 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; Speak that thou mayst justify thyself.
27 Mahaifinku na farko ya yi zunubi; masu magana a madadinku suka yi mini tayarwa.
Thy forefathers sinned, And thy teachers were rebellious against me;
28 Saboda haka zan kunyata manyan baƙi na haikalinku, zan tura Yaƙub ga hallaka Isra’ila kuwa yă zama abin dariya.
Therefore have I profaned the princes of the sanctuary, And given up Jacob to a curse, And Israel to reproach.
