Ishaya 44
1 “Amma yanzu ka saurara, ya Yaƙub, bawana, Isra’ila, wanda zaɓa.
“And now, hear, O Jacob, My servant, And Israel, whom I have fixed on—
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 said YHWH, your Maker, and your Former, From the womb He helps you: Do not fear, My servant Jacob, And Yeshurun, whom I have fixed on.
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 I pour waters on a thirsty one, And floods on a dry land, I pour My Spirit on your seed, And My blessing on your offspring.
4 Za su tsiro kamar ciyawa a wuriyar ruwa, kamar kurmi kusa da rafuffuka masu gudu.
And they have sprung up as among grass, As willows by conduits of water.
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] says, For I [am] YHWH’s, And this calls [himself] by the name of Jacob, And this [one] writes [with] his hand, For YHWH, And surnames 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 said YHWH, King of Israel, And his Redeemer, YHWH of Hosts: “I [am] the first, and I [am] the last, And besides 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 [is] as I, call and declare it, And arrange it for Me, Since My placing the people of antiquity, And things that are coming, And those that come, they declare to 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.”
Do not fear, nor be afraid, Have I not caused you to hear from that time, and declared? And you [are] My witnesses, Is there a God besides Me? Indeed, there is none, I have not known another Rock.”
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.
Framers of a carved image, all of them [are] emptiness, And their desirable things do not profit, And they [are] their own witnesses, They do not see, nor know, 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 has formed a god, And poured out a molten image—not profitable?
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 companions are ashamed, As for artisans—they [are] of men, All of them gather together, they stand up, They fear, they are 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.
He has worked iron [with] an axe, And has worked with coals, And forms it with hammers, And works it by his powerful arm, Indeed, he is hungry, and there is no power, He does not drink water, and he is wearied.
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.
He has worked [with] wood, He has stretched out a rule, He marks it out with a line, He makes it with carving tools, And he marks it out with a compass, And makes it according to the form of a man, According to the beauty of a man, To remain in the 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.
Cutting down cedars for himself, He also takes a cypress, and an oak, And he strengthens [it] for himself Among the trees of a forest, He has planted an ash, and the shower nourishes [it].
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.
And it has been for man to burn, And he takes of them, and becomes warm, Indeed, he kindles [it], and has baked bread, Indeed, he makes a god, and bows himself, He has made it a carved image, And he falls down to it.
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.”
Half of it he has burned in the fire, By [this] half of it he eats flesh, He roasts a roasting and is satisfied, Indeed, he is warm and says: “Aha, I have become warm, I have enjoyed the light.”
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 he has made its remnant for a god—For his carved image, He falls down to it, and worships, And prays to it, and he says, “Deliver me, for you [are] my god.”
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 have not known, nor do they understand, For He has coated their eyes from seeing, Their heart from acting wisely.
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 none turn [it] back to his heart, Nor has knowledge nor understanding to say, “I have burned half of it in the fire, Indeed, I have also baked bread over its coals, I roast flesh and I eat, And I make its remnant for an abomination, I fall down to the stock of a tree.”
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?”
Feeding on ashes, the heart is deceived, It has turned him aside, And he does not deliver his soul, nor says: “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, O Jacob, and Israel, For you [are] My servant, I formed you, you [are] a servant to Me, O Israel, you do not forget Me.
22 Na shafe laifofinka kamar girgije, zunubanka kamar hazon safe. Ka komo wurina, gama na kuɓutar da kai.”
I have blotted out, as [by] a thick cloud, Your transgressions, And as [by] a cloud, your sins, Return to Me, for I have redeemed you.”
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 heavens, for YHWH has worked, Shout, O lower parts of earth, Break forth, O mountains, with singing, Forest, and every tree in it, For YHWH has redeemed Jacob, And He beautifies Himself in Israel.
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 said YHWH, your Redeemer, And your Framer from the womb: “I [am] YHWH, doing all things, Stretching out the heavens by Myself, Spreading out the earth—who [is] with Me?
25 wanda ya sassāke alamun annabawan ƙarya ya masu duba suka zama wawaye, wanda ya tumɓuke koyon masu hikima ya mai da shi banza,
Making void the tokens of devisers, And makes diviners mad, Turning the wise backward, And makes 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,’
Confirming the word of His servant, He perfects the counsel of His messengers, Who is saying of Jerusalem, She is inhabited, And of cities of Judah, They will be built, and her ruins I raise up,
27 wanda ya ce wa zurfin ruwaye, ‘Ku bushe, zan kuma busar da rafuffukanku,’
Who is saying to the deep, Be dry, and your rivers I cause to 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.”’
Who is saying of Cyrus, My shepherd, And he perfects all My delight, So as to say of Jerusalem, You are built, And of the temple, You are founded.”
