Ishaya 44
1 “Amma yanzu ka saurara, ya Yaƙub, bawana, Isra’ila, wanda zaɓa.
Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen:
2 Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, shi wanda ya yi ka, wanda ya siffanta ka a cikin mahaifa, wanda kuma zai taimake ka. Kada ka ji tsoro, ya Yaƙub, bawana, Yeshurun, wanda na zaɓa.
Thus hath said the Lord thy Maker, and he that formed thee from the womb, who will help thee, Fear not, O my servant Jacob; and thou Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.
3 Gama zan zuba ruwa a ƙeƙasasshiyar ƙasa, rafuffuka kuma a busasshiyar ƙasa; zan ba da Ruhuna ga’ya’yanka, albarkata kuma ga zuriyarka.
For [as] I pour water upon the thirsty [land], and rain-droppings upon the dry ground: [so] will I pour my spirit over thy seed, and my blessing over thy offspring.
4 Za su tsiro kamar ciyawa a wuriyar ruwa, kamar kurmi kusa da rafuffuka masu gudu.
After they shall spring up [as] among grass, like willows by the water-courses.
5 Wani zai ce, ‘Ni na Ubangiji ne’; wani kuma zai kira kansa da sunan Yaƙub; har yanzu wani zai rubuta a hannunsa, ‘Na Ubangiji,’ ya kuma ɗauki sunan Isra’ila.
This one will say, I belong to the Lord; and the other will call himself by the name of Jacob; and the other will inscribe himself with his hand unto the Lord, and surname himself by the name of Israel.
6 “Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, Sarki da kuma Mai Fansar Isra’ila, Ubangiji Maɗaukaki. Ni ne farko ni ne kuma ƙarshe; in ban da ni babu wani Allah.
Thus hath said the Lord, the king of Israel, and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts, I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no god.
7 Wane ne kuwa kama da ni? Ya faɗa a ji. Bari yă yi shela ya kuma nuna shi a gabana mene ne ya faru tun da na kafa mutanena na dā, mene ne kuma bai riga ya faru ba, I, bari yă faɗa abin da zai zo.
And who, like me, will announce, and will tell it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the people of ancient times? and the future things, and those which are to happen, —let them foretell unto them.
8 Kada ku firgita kada kuma ku ji tsoro. Ban furta wannan na kuma yi faɗar haka tuntuni ba? Ku ne shaiduna. Akwai wani Allah in ban da ni? A’a, babu wani Dutse; ban san da wani ba.”
Have no dread, and do not despond; have I not long since informed thee, and have told it? and ye are my witnesses: Is there a god beside me? yea, there is no rock, whom I know not.
9 Duk masu yin gumaka ba kome ba ne, da kuma abubuwan da suke ɗauka da daraja banza ne. Waɗanda za su yi magana a madadinsu makafi ne; jahilai ne, marasa kunya.
The makers of graven images are all vanity; and their costly idols cannot profit; and they are their own witnesses, that they see not and know not, in order that they may be ashamed.
10 Waɗanda suke siffanta allah su kuma yi zubin gunki, waɗanda ba za su yi musu ribar kome ba?
Who hath formed a god, or cast an image that profiteth nothing?
11 Shi da irinsa za su sha kunya; masu sassaƙa ba kome ba mutane ne kurum. Bari su tattaru su ɗauki matsayinsu; za su firgita su kuma sha mummunan kunya.
Behold, all his associates shall be ashamed, for the workmen themselves are but men: let them all be gathered, let them stand up, they shall be terrified, they shall be ashamed together.
12 Maƙeri yakan ɗauki kayan aiki ya yi aiki da shi a cikin garwashi; ya ƙera gunki da guduma, ya gyara shi da hannuwansa masu ƙarfi. Yakan ji yunwa ya kuma rasa ƙarfi; yakan sha ruwa ya kuma ji gajiya.
The iron-smith [maketh] an axe and worketh it in the coals, and with hammers he fashioneth it, and worketh it with his powerful arm; he also, when he is hungry, loseth his strength: when he drinketh no water, he becometh faint.
13 Kafinta yakan gwada katako yă kuma zāna siffar da alli; yă goge shi da kayan aiki yă kuma zāna shi da alƙalami. Yă siffanta shi a kamannin mutum, mutum cikin dukan darajarsa, don yă ajiye shi a cikin masujada.
The worker in wood stretcheth out the rule; he marketh it out with chalk; he fitteth it with planes, and he marketh it out with the compass, and maketh it after the figure of a man, after the beauty of a child of earth, that it may dwell in a house.
14 Yakan ka da itacen saifires, ko kuwa ya ɗauki saifires ko oak. Yă bar shi yă yi girma a cikin itatuwan kurmi, ko yă shuka itacen fir, ruwan sama kuma yă sa yă yi girma.
He felleth for himself cedars, and taketh cypress and oak, and he chooseth for himself the strongest among the trees of the forest; he planteth an ash, and the rain causeth it to grow.
15 Abin hura wutar mutum ne; yakan ɗebi waɗansu yă hura wuta don yă ji ɗumi, ya hura wuta yă gasa burodi. Amma yakan ƙera zinariya yă kuma yi masa sujada; yakan yi gunki sa’an nan yă rusuna masa.
Then doth it serve a man for burning; and he taketh thereof, and warmeth himself; he also heateth therewith, and baketh bread; he also worketh out a god, and boweth himself; he maketh of it an image, and kneeleth down thereto.
16 Rabin katakon yakan ƙone a wuta; a kansa yakan dafa abincinsa, yă gasa namansa yă kuma ci sai ya ƙoshi. Yakan ji ɗumi yă kuma ce, “Aha! Na ji ɗumi; na gan wutar.”
The half thereof hath he burnt in fire; with the half thereof will he eat flesh; he will roast food, and be satisfied; he will also warm himself, and say, Aha, I am warm, I have felt the fire:
17 Da sauran itacen yakan yi allah, gunkinsa; yă rusuna masa yă kuma yi sujada. Yakan yi masa addu’a yă ce, “Ka cece ni; kai ne allahna.”
And the residue thereof hath he made into a god, his graven image; he kneeleth down unto it, and boweth himself, and prayeth unto it, and saith, Deliver me; for my god art thou.
18 Ba su san kome ba, ba su fahimci kome ba; an rufe idanunsu don kada su gani, tunaninsu kuma a rufe don kada su fahimta.
They know not, they understand not; for their eyes are daubed over, that they cannot see; their hearts, that they cannot understand.
19 Ba wanda yakan dakata ya yi tunani, ba wanda yake da sani ko fahimi ya ce, “Da rabinsa na yi amfani da shi don hura wuta; na ma gasa burodi a kan garwashinsa, na gasa nama na kuma ci. Ya kamata in yi abin ƙyama daga abin da ya rage? Ya kamata in rusuna wa guntun katako?”
And he layeth it not to heart, and hath no knowledge, no understanding, to say, The half thereof have I burnt in fire; and I have also baked upon its coals bread; I [now] will roast flesh, and eat it: and shall I make of its residue an abomination, before a block of wood shall I kneel?
20 Yana cin toka, zuciyar da ta ruɗe tana ɓad da shi; ba zai iya cece kansa ba, ko ya ce, “Wannan abin da yake hannun dama na ba ƙarya ba ne?”
He pursueth ashes; a deceived heart hath turned him aside; and he cannot deliver his soul, and will not say, Is there not a lie in my right hand?
21 “Tuna da waɗannan abubuwa, ya Yaƙub, gama kai bawana ne, ya Isra’ila. Na yi ka, kai bawana ne; Ya Isra’ila, ba zan manta da kai ba.
Remember these things, O Jacob; and Israel, for thou art my servant: I have formed thee to be my servant, thou [art this]; O Israel, thou shalt not be forgotten by me.
22 Na shafe laifofinka kamar girgije, zunubanka kamar hazon safe. Ka komo wurina, gama na kuɓutar da kai.”
I have blotted out, as a vapor, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee.
23 Ku rera don farin ciki, ya sammai, gama Ubangiji ya aikata wannan; ku yi sowa, ya duniya a ƙarƙashi. Ku ɓarke da waƙoƙi, ku duwatsu, ku jeji da dukan itatuwanku, gama Ubangiji ya kuɓutar da Yaƙub, ya nuna ɗaukakarsa a cikin Isra’ila.
Sing, O ye heavens; for the Lord hath done it; shout, ye lowest depths of the earth; break forth into singing, ye mountains, O forest, and every tree therein; for the Lord hath redeemed Jacob, and on Israel will he glorify himself.
24 “Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, Mai Fansarka, wanda ya yi ka a cikin mahaifa. “Ni ne Ubangiji, wanda ya yi dukan abubuwa, wanda ya shimfiɗa sammai ya kuma kafa harsashen duniya da kansa,
Thus hath said the Lord, thy Redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the Lord that hath made all things; that hath stretched forth the heavens by myself alone; that hath spread abroad the earth from my own self;
25 wanda ya sassāke alamun annabawan ƙarya ya masu duba suka zama wawaye, wanda ya tumɓuke koyon masu hikima ya mai da shi banza,
That frustrate the tokens of the liars, and confuseth diviners; that turneth the wise backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish;
26 wanda ya tabbatar da maganganun bayinsa ya kuma cika annabce-annabcen’yan aikansa, “wanda ya ce game da Urushalima, ‘Za a zauna a cikinta,’ game da garuruwan Yahuda, ‘Za a gina su,’
That fulfilleth the word of his servant, and performeth the counsel of his messengers; that saith of Jerusalem, It shall be inhabited; and of the cities of Judah, They shall be built, and their ruins will I raise up.
27 wanda ya ce wa zurfin ruwaye, ‘Ku bushe, zan kuma busar da rafuffukanku,’
That saith to the deep, Be dry, and thy rivers will I dry up;
28 wanda ya yi zancen Sairus ya ce, ‘Shi ne makiyayina zan kuma cika dukan abin da na gan dama; zai yi zancen Urushalima cewa, “Bari a sāke gina ta,” game da haikali kuma cewa, “Bari a kafa harsashinsa.”’
That saith of Cyrus, [He is] my shepherd, and all my pleasure shall he perform: even saying of Jerusalem, It shall be built; and the temple's foundation shall be laid.
