Ishaya 46
1 Bel ya rusuna, Nebo ya durƙusa ƙasa; ana ɗaukan gumakansu a kan dabbobi ne. Siffofin da ake yawo da su nawaya ne, kayan nauyi masu gajiyarwa.
Bel bows down, Nebo bends low; their idols are carried off on beasts of burden, a heavy weight for the tired animals.
2 Sun durƙusa suka kuma rusuna tare; ba su iya kuɓutar da nauyin kaya su kansu sukan tafi bauta.
They bend low and bow down together—they can't help rescue their idols, and they themselves go off into captivity.
3 “Ku kasa kunne gare ni, ya ku gidan Yaƙub, dukanku waɗanda kuka rage na gidan Isra’ila, ku da na lura da ku tun da aka yi cikinku, na kuma riƙe ku tun haihuwarku.
Listen to me, descendants of Jacob, all those who are left of the people of Israel. I have looked after you since you were born, carrying you from birth.
4 Har lokacin da kuka tsufa kuka yi furfura ni ne shi, ni ne shi wanda zai lura da ku. Na yi ku zan kuma riƙe ku; zan lura da ku in kuma kuɓutar da ku.
Even when you're old, I will still be your God; even when your hair turns white, I will still support you. I made you, I will carry you, I will support you, and I will save you.
5 “Da wa za ku kwatanta ni ko ku ɗauka daidai da ni? Da wa nake kama da har da za ku kwatanta ni?
Who will you liken me to? Who will you reckon to be my equal? Who will you compare me with, as if we were alike?
6 Waɗansu sukan zubar da zinariya daga jaka su kuma auna azurfa a ma’auni; sukan yi haya maƙerin zinariya don yă ƙera allah, su kuma rusuna su yi masa sujada.
There are those who extravagantly tip out gold from their bags, and weigh out silver on the scales, and hire a goldsmith to make them a god they can bow down to and worship.
7 Sukan daga shi a kafaɗunsu su kuma ɗauke shi; sukan kafa shi a tsaye a wurinsa, a can kuwa zai tsaya. Daga wannan wuri ba zai iya gusawa ba. Ko da wani ya nemi taimakonsa, ba ya amsawa; ba zai iya cetonsa daga wahala ba.
They lift the idol onto their shoulders, carry it along, and then put it in place. It stays there and doesn't move. Even when people cry out to it for help, it doesn't answer—it can't save them from their troubles.
8 “Ku tuna da wannan, ku sa shi a zuciya, ku riƙe shi a zuciya, ku’yan tawaye.
Remember this, and act like men! Think about it, you rebels!
9 Ku tuna da abubuwan da suka riga suka faru, waɗannan na tun dā; ni ne Allah, kuma babu wani; ni ne Allah kuma babu wani kamar ni.
Remember what I've done for you since the beginning, for I am God, and there is no God apart from me. I am God, and there is none like me.
10 Nakan sanar da ƙarshe tun daga farko, daga fil azal, abin da yake zuwa nan gaba. Na ce nufina zai tabbata, kuma zan aikata dukan abin da na gan dama.
I am the one who can predict what will happen in the end from the very beginning, declaring from ancient times what the future will bring. Whatever I plan will take place; I will accomplish everything I wish.
11 Daga gabas na kira tsuntsun da yake farauta; daga can ƙasa mai nesa, wani mutumin da zai cika nufina. Abin da na riga na faɗa, shi zan sa ya faru; abin da na shirya, shi zan aikata.
I'm calling a bird of prey from the east, a man from a distant country who will carry out my plan. I have spoken, and I will make sure it happens. I have made my plan, and I will carry it out.
12 Ku kasa kunne, ku masu taurinkai, ku da kuke nesa da adalci.
Listen to me, you stubborn people, who are such a long way from doing what's right!
13 Ina kawo adalcina kusa, ba shi da nisa; kuma cetona ba zai jinkirta ba. Zan yi wa Sihiyona ceto, darajata ga Isra’ila.
Very shortly I am going to make things right—it won't be long. I will come with my salvation without delay—I will save Zion to demonstrate my glory to Israel.
