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.
Listen to me, you islands; and attend, you Gentiles; after a long time it shall come to pass, says the Lord: from my mother's womb he has called my name:
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 as a sharp sword, and he has hid me under the shadow of his hand; he has made me as a choice shaft, and he has hid me in his quiver;
3 Ya ce mini, “Kai bawana ne, Isra’ila, a cikinka zan bayyana darajata.”
and said to me, You are my servant, O Israel, and in you I will be glorified.
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.”
Then I said, I have laboured in vain, I have given my strength for vanity and for nothing: therefore is my judgement with the Lord, and my labour before my God.
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, thus says the Lord that formed me from the womb to be his own servant, to gather Jacob to him and Israel. I shall be gathered and glorified before the Lord, and my God shall be 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.”
And he said to me, [It is] a great thing for you to be called my servant, to establish the tribes of Jacob, and to recover the dispersion of Israel: behold, I have given you for the covenant of a race, for a light of the Gentiles, that you should be for 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.”
Thus says the Lord that delivered you, the God of Israel, Sanctify him that despises his life, him that is abhorred by the nations that are the servants of princes: kings shall behold him, and princes shall arise, and shall worship him, for the Lord's sake: for the Holy One of Israel is faithful, and I have chosen you.
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,
Thus says the Lord, In an acceptable time have I heard you, and in a day of salvation have I succored you: and I have formed you, and given you for a covenant of the nations, to establish the earth, and to cause to inherit the desert heritages:
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 them that are in bonds, Go forth; and [bidding] them that are in darkness show themselves. They shall be fed in all the ways, and in all the paths [shall be] their pasture.
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 shall not hunger, neither shall they thirst; neither shall the heat nor the sun strike them; but he that has mercy on them shall comfort [them], and by fountains of waters shall he lead them.
11 Zan mayar da dukan duwatsu su zama hanyoyi, a kuma gyara manyan hanyoyina.
And I will make every mountain a way, and every path a pasture to them.
12 Duba, za su zo daga nesa waɗansu daga arewa, waɗansu daga yamma, waɗansu daga yankin Aswan.”
Behold, these shall come from far: [and] these from the north and the west, and others from the land of the Persians.
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.
Rejoice, you heavens; and let the earth be glad: let the mountains break forth [with] joy; for the Lard has had mercy on his people, and has comforted the lowly ones of his people.
14 Amma Sihiyona ta ce, “Ubangiji ya yashe ni, Ubangiji ya manta da ni.”
But Sion said, The Lord has forsaken me, and, The Lord has forgotten me.
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 forget her child, so as not to have compassion upon the offspring of her womb? but if a woman should even forget these, yet I will not forget you, says the Lord.
16 Duba, na zāna ki a tafin hannuwana; katangarki kullum suna a gabana.
Behold, I have painted your walls on my hands, and you are continually before me.
17 ’Ya’yanki maza su komo da gaggawa, waɗanda suka lalatar da ke kuwa za su bar ki.
And you shall soon be built by those by whom you were destroyed, and they that made you desolate shall go forth 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.
Lift up your eyes round about, and look on them all; behold, they are gathered together, and are come to you. [As] I live, says the Lord, you shall clothe yourself with them all as with an ornament, and put them on as a bride her attire.
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 your desert and marred and ruined [places] shall now be too narrow by reason of the inhabitants, and they that devoured you shall be removed far from you.
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.’
For your sons whom you have lost shall say in your ears, The place [is too] narrow for me: make room for me that I may dwell.
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?’”
And you shall say in your heart, Who has begotten me these? whereas I [was] childless, and a widow; but who has brought up these for me? and I was left alone; but whence came these to me?
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.
Thus says the Lord, [even] the Lord, Behold, I lift up mine hand to the nations, and I will lift up my signal to the islands: and they shall bring your sons in [their] bosom, and shall bear your daughters on [their] shoulders.
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 shall be your nursing fathers, and their princesses your nurses, they shall bow down to you on the face of the earth, and shall lick the dust of your feet; and you shall know that I am the Lord, and they that wait on me shall not be ashamed.
24 Za a iya ƙwace ganima daga jarumawa, ko a kuɓutar da kamammu daga hannun marasa tsoro?
Will any one take spoils from a giant? and if one should take [a man] captive unjustly, shall he be delivered?
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.
For thus says the Lord, If one should take a giant captive, he shall take spoils, and he who takes [them] from a mighty [man] shall be delivered: for I will plead your cause, and I will deliver your children.
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 they that afflicted you shall eat their own flesh; and they shall drink their own blood as new wine, and shall be drunken: and all flesh shall perceive that I am the Lord that delivers you, and that upholds the strength of Jacob.
