Ishaya 49
1 Ku kasa kunne gare ni, ku tsibirai; ku ji wannan, ku al’ummai masu nesa. Kafin a haife Ni Ubangiji ya kira ni; tun daga haihuwata ya ambaci sunana.
Give ear, O sea-lands, to me; and take note, you peoples from far: I have been marked out by the Lord from the first; when I was still in my mother's body, he had my name in mind:
2 Ya yi bakina kamar takobi mai kaifi, cikin inuwar hannunsa ya ɓoye ni; ya sa na zama kamar kibiya mai tsini ya kuma ɓoye ni cikin kwarinsa.
And he has made my mouth like a sharp sword, in the shade of his hand he has kept me; and he has made me like a polished arrow, keeping me in his secret place;
3 Ya ce mini, “Kai bawana ne, Isra’ila, a cikinka zan bayyana darajata.”
And he said to me, You are my servant, Israel, in whom my glory will be seen;
4 Amma na ce, “Na yi aiki a banza; na kashe duk ƙarfina a banza da wofi. Duk da haka abin da yake nawa yana a hannun Ubangiji, ladana kuma tana a wurin Allahna.”
And I said, I have undergone weariness for nothing, I have given my strength for no purpose or profit: but still the Lord will take up my cause, and my God will give me my reward.
5 Yanzu fa Ubangiji ya ce ya siffanta ni a cikin mahaifa don in zama bawansa don in dawo da Yaƙub gare shi in kuma tattara Isra’ila gare shi, gama an girmama ni a gaban Ubangiji Allahna kuma ne ƙarfina
And now, says the Lord, who made me his servant when I was still in my mother's body, so that I might make Jacob come back to him, and so that Israel might come together to him: and I was honoured in the eyes of the Lord, and my God became my strength.
6 ya ce, “Ɗan ƙaramin abu ne ka zama bawana don ka maido da kabilar Yaƙub ka kuma dawo da waɗannan na Isra’ilawan da na kiyaye. Zan kuma mai da kai haske ga Al’ummai, don ka kawo cetona zuwa iyakokin duniya.”
It is not enough for one who is my servant to put the tribes of Jacob again in their place, and to get back those of Israel who have been sent away: my purpose is to give you as a light to the nations, so that you may be my salvation to the end of the earth.
7 Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, Mai Fansa da kuma Mai Tsarkin nan na Isra’ila gare shi wanda al’ummai suka rena suka kuma ki, ga bawan masu mulki. “Sarakuna za su gan ka su kuma miƙe tsaye, sarakuna za su gani su kuma rusuna, saboda Ubangiji, wanda yake mai aminci, Mai Tsarkin nan na Isra’ila, wanda ya zaɓe ka.”
The Lord who takes up Israel's cause, even his Holy One, says to him whom men make sport of, who is hated by the nations, a servant of rulers: Kings will see and get up from their places, and chiefs will give worship: because of the Lord who keeps faith; even the Holy One of Israel who has taken you for himself.
8 Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, “A lokacin tagomashina zan amsa muku, kuma a ranar ceto zan taimake ku; zan kiyaye ku zan kuma sa ku zama alkawari ga mutane, don ku maido da ƙasa ku kuma sāke raba gādon kufai,
This is the word of the Lord: I have given ear to you at a good time, and I have been your helper in a day of salvation: and I will keep you safe, and will make you a glory for the people, putting the land in order, and giving them the heritages which now are waste;
9 don ku ce wa waɗanda suke cikin kurkuku, ‘Ku fito,’ ga waɗanda suke cikin duhu kuma, ‘Ku’yantu!’ “Za su yi kiwo kusa da hanyoyi su kuma sami wurin kiwo a kowane tudu.
Saying to those who are in chains, Go free; to those who are in the dark, Come out into the light. They will get food by the way wherever they go, and have grass-lands on all the dry mountain-tops.
10 Ba za su taɓa jin yunwa ko ƙishi ba, ba kuwa zafin hamada ko rana ta buge su ba. Shi da ya yi musu jinƙai zai jagorance su ya kuma bishe su kusa da maɓulɓulan ruwa.
They will not be in need of food or drink, or be troubled by the heat or the sun: for he who has mercy on them will be their guide, taking them by the springs of water.
11 Zan mayar da dukan duwatsu su zama hanyoyi, a kuma gyara manyan hanyoyina.
And I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways will be lifted up.
12 Duba, za su zo daga nesa waɗansu daga arewa, waɗansu daga yamma, waɗansu daga yankin Aswan.”
See, these are coming from far; and these from the north and the west; and these from the land of Sinim.
13 Ku yi sowa don farin ciki, ya ku sammai; ki yi farin ciki, ya ke duniya; ku ɓarke da waƙa, ya ku duwatsu! Gama Ubangiji ya ta’azantar da mutanensa zai kuma ji tausayin mutanensa da suke shan wahala.
Let your voice be loud in song, O heavens; and be glad, O earth; make sounds of joy, O mountains, for the Lord has given comfort to his people, and will have mercy on his crushed ones.
14 Amma Sihiyona ta ce, “Ubangiji ya yashe ni, Ubangiji ya manta da ni.”
But Zion said, The Lord has given me up, I have gone from his memory.
15 “Yana yiwuwa mahaifiya ta manta da jariri a ƙirjinta ta kuma kāsa nuna tausayi ga yaron da ta haifa? Mai yiwuwa ta manta, amma ba zan taɓa manta da ke ba!
Will a woman give up the child at her breast, will she be without pity for the fruit of her body? yes, these may, but I will not let you go out of my memory.
16 Duba, na zāna ki a tafin hannuwana; katangarki kullum suna a gabana.
See, your name is marked on my hands; your walls are ever before me.
17 ’Ya’yanki maza su komo da gaggawa, waɗanda suka lalatar da ke kuwa za su bar ki.
Your builders are coming quickly; your haters and those who made you waste will go out of you.
18 Ki ɗaga idanunki ki duba kewaye; dukan’ya’yanki sun taru suka kuma dawo gare ki. Muddin ina raye,” in ji Ubangiji, “Za ki yafa su duka kamar kayan ado; za ki yi ado da su, kamar amarya.
Let your eyes be lifted up round about, and see: they are all coming together to you. By my life, says the Lord, truly you will put them all on you as an ornament, and be clothed with them like a bride.
19 “Ko da yake an lalatar da ke aka kuma mai da ke kufai ƙasarki kuma ta zama kango, yanzu za ki kāsa sosai saboda yawan mutanenki, kuma waɗanda suka cinye ki za su kasance can da nisa.
For though the waste places of your land have been given to destruction, now you will not be wide enough for your people, and those who made you waste will be far away.
20 ’Ya’yan da aka haifa a lokacin baƙin cikinki za su ce a kunnenki, ‘Wannan wuri ya yi mana kaɗan ƙwarai; ki ƙara mana wurin zama.’
The children to whom you gave birth in other lands will say in your ears, The place is not wide enough for me: make room for me to have a resting-place.
21 Sa’an nan za ki ce a zuciyarki, ‘Wa ya haifa waɗannan? Na yi baƙin ciki na kuma zama wadda ba ta haihuwa; an yi mini daurin talala aka kuma ƙi ni. Wane ne ya yi renon waɗannan? An bar ni ni kaɗai, amma waɗannan, ina suka fito?’”
Then you will say in your heart, Who has given me all these children? when my children had been taken from me, and I was no longer able to have others, who took care of these? when I was by myself, where then were these?
22 Ga abin da Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka ya ce, “Duba, zan yi alama wa Al’ummai, zan ɗaga tutana wa mutane; za su kawo’ya’yanki maza a hannuwansu su riƙe’ya’yanki mata a kafaɗunsu.
This is the word of the Lord God: See, I will make a sign with my hand to the nations, and put up my flag for the peoples; and they will take up your sons on their beasts, and your daughters on their backs.
23 Sarakuna za su zama kamar iyayen reno, sarauniyoyinsu kuma za su yi renonku kamar uwaye. Za su rusuna a gabanki da fuskokinsu har ƙasa; za su lashe ƙura a ƙafafunki. Sa’an nan za ki san cewa ni ne Ubangiji; waɗanda suke sa zuciya gare ni ba za su sha kunya ba.”
And kings will take care of you, and queens will give you their milk: they will go down on their faces before you, kissing the dust of your feet; and you will be certain that I am the Lord, and that those who put their hope in me will not be shamed.
24 Za a iya ƙwace ganima daga jarumawa, ko a kuɓutar da kamammu daga hannun marasa tsoro?
Will the goods of war be taken from the strong man, or the prisoners of the cruel one be let go?
25 Amma ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, “I, za a ƙwace kamammu daga jarumawa, a kuma karɓe ganima daga hannun marasa tsoro; zan gwabza da waɗanda suke gwabzawa da ke, zan kuwa ceci’ya’yanki.
But the Lord says, Even the prisoners of the strong will be taken from him, and the cruel made to let go his goods: for I will take up your cause against your haters, and I will keep your children safe.
26 Zan sa masu zaluntarki su ci naman jikinsu; za su bugu da jininsu, sai ka ce sun sha ruwan inabi. Sa’an nan dukan mutane za su sani cewa ni, Ubangiji, ni ne Mai Cetonki, Mai Fansarki, Maɗaukakin nan na Yaƙub.”
And the flesh of your attackers will be taken by themselves for food; and they will take their blood for drink, as if it was sweet wine: and all men will see that I the Lord am your saviour, even he who takes up your cause, the Strong One of Jacob.
