Ishaya 47
1 “Ki gangara, ki zauna a ƙura, Budurwa Diyar Babilon; ki zauna a ƙasa ba tare da rawani ba, Diyar Babiloniyawa. Ba za a ƙara kira ke marar ƙarfi’yar gata ba.
[Yahweh also says], “You people of Babylon, you should go and sit in the dust/dirt [to show that you are mourning], because your time to rule [MTY] [other countries] is almost ended. People will never again say that Babylonia is beautiful [like] a very attractive/beautiful young woman.
2 Ɗauki dutsen niƙa ki niƙa gari; ki kware lulluɓinki. Ki ɗaga fatarinki ki bar ƙafafunki tsirara, ki kuma yi ta ratsa cikin rafuffuka.
[You will be slaves, so] take heavy stones and grind grain [like slave women do]. Take off your [beautiful] veils and take off your robes [as you prepare to cross streams to go where you will be forced to go].
3 Tsirararki zai bayyana za a kuma buɗe kunyarki. Zan ɗauki fansa; ba zan bar wani ba.”
You will be naked and [very] ashamed. I will get vengeance on you and not pity you.”
4 Mai Fansarmu, Ubangiji Maɗaukaki shi ne sunansa, shi ne Mai Tsarkin nan na Isra’ila.
The one who frees us [people of Judah], whom we call ‘the Commander of the armies of angels’, is the Holy One of Israel.
5 “Zauna shiru, tafi cikin duhu, Diyar Babiloniya; ba za a ƙara kira ke sarauniyar masarautai.
[Yahweh says], “You people of Babylon, sit silently in the darkness, because people will never again say that your city is [like] [MET] a queen that rules many kingdoms.
6 Na yi fushi da mutanena na ƙazantar da gādona; na ba su ga hannunki, ba ki kuwa nuna musu jinƙai ba. Har ma da tsofaffi kin jibga musu kaya masu nauyi sosai.
I was angry with the people whom I chose [to belong to me], and I punished them. I allowed you [people of Babylon] to conquer them. But [when you conquered them], you did not have mercy on them. You (oppressed/treated cruelly) [MET] even the old people.
7 Kika ce, ‘Zan ci gaba har abada, madawwamiyar sarauniya!’ Amma ba ki lura da waɗannan abubuwa ko ki yi la’akari a kan abin da zai faru ba.
You said, ‘We will rule [other nations] forever; [it is as though our city] will be the queen [of the world] forever!’ But you did not think about the things [that you were doing], or think about what would result.
8 “To, yanzu fa, ki kasa kunne, ke mai ƙaunar nishaɗi, mai zama da rai kwance kina kuma ce wa kanki, ‘Ni ce, kuma babu wani in ban da ni. Ba zan taɓa zama gwauruwa ko in sha wahalar rashin’ya’ya ba.’
You people [of Babylon] who enjoy pleasure and sex, listen to this: You enjoy a luxurious life and you feel secure. You say, ‘We are [like gods], and there are no others like us. Our women will never become widows, and our children will never be killed [in wars].’
9 Duk waɗannan za su sha kanki cikin farat ɗaya, a rana guda, rashin’ya’ya da gwauranci. Za su zo a kanki da cikakken minzani, duk da yawan masu dubanki da kuma dukan sihirinki.
But both of those things will happen to you suddenly: Many of your women will become widows and many of your children will die, even though you perform much sorcery and many kinds of magic [to prevent bad things from happening to you].
10 Kin dogara a muguntarki kika kuma ce, ‘Babu wanda ya gan ni.’ Hikimarki da saninki sun ɓad da ke sa’ad da kika ce wa kanki, ‘Ni ce, kuma babu wani in ban da ni.’
You felt protected even though you were doing many wicked things, and you said, ‘No one will see what we [are doing]!’ [You thought that] you were very wise and knew many things, and you said, ‘We are gods, and there are no others like us,’ but you deceived yourselves.
11 Bala’i zai fāɗo a kanki, kuma ba za ki san yadda za ki rinjaye shi yă janye ba. Masifa za tă fāɗo a kanki da ba za ki iya tsai da ita da kuɗin fansa ba; lalacewar da ba ki taɓa mafarkinta ba za tă auko miki nan da nan.
So you will experience terrible things, and you will not be able to prevent them by working magic. You will experience disasters, and you will not be able to pay anyone to prevent those things from happening. (A catastrophe/Something terrible) will happen to you suddenly, something that you will not realize [is about to happen].
12 “Ki dai ci gaba, da sihirinki da kuma makarunki masu yawa, waɗanda kika yi ta wahala tun kina jaririya. Mai yiwuwa ki yi nasara, mai yiwuwa ki jawo fargaba.
So you can continue to perform all your magic spells [IRO]! You can perform the many kinds of sorcery that you have practiced for many years! Perhaps [doing those things will enable you to] be successful; perhaps you will be able to cause your enemies to be afraid of you!
13 Dukan shawarwarin da kika samu sun dai gajiyar da ke ne kawai! Bari masananki na taurari su zo gaba, waɗannan masu zāna taswirar sammai suna kuma faɗa miki dukan abin da zai faru da ke wata-wata, bari su cece ki daga abin da zai faru da ke.
But [all that has resulted from your] doing all the things that the magicians have told you to do is that you have become tired! The men who look at the stars every month and predict what will happen should come forward and rescue you [from the disasters that you are about to experience].
14 Tabbas suna kama da bunnu; wuta za tă cinye su ƙaf. Ba za su ma iya ceton kansu daga ikon wutar ba. Ba wutar da wani zai ji ɗumi; ba wutar da za a zauna kusa da ita.
But [they cannot do that, because] they are like [SIM] straw that is burning in a fire; they cannot save themselves from being burned up in the flames. Those men are unable to help you [MET]; they are as useless as stubble [that burns quickly and produces no heat] for you.
15 Abin da za su iya yi miki ke nan kawai, waɗannan da kika yi ta fama da su kika kuma yi ciniki da su tun kina jaririya. Kowannensu zai tafi cikin kuskurensa; babu ko ɗayan da zai cece ki.
The people whom you have associated with and worked with since you were young [will not help you], because they will just continue doing their own foolish things, and they will not pay any attention to you [when you cry out for help].”
