Ishaya 52
1 Ki farka, ki farka, ya Sihiyona, ki sanya wa kanki ƙarfi. Ki sa rigarki na daraja, Ya Urushalima, birni mai tsarki. Marasa kaciya da maƙazanta ba za su shi cikinki ba.
[You people who live in the] holy city of Jerusalem [APO], wake up! Be strong again! Show that [MTY] your city is beautiful and glorious; foreigners who do not believe in God will not enter your city again [to attack you].
2 Ki kakkaɓe ƙurarki; ki tashi, ki zauna a kursiyinki, ya Urushalima. Ki’yantar da kanki daga sarƙoƙi a wuyanki, Ke kamammiyar Diyar Sihiyona.
People of Jerusalem, get up from [humbly] sitting in the dust and sit in places where people are honored! You people who have returned from being exiled, take off from your neck the chains which were fastened around you [as slaves in Babylonia],
3 Gama ga abin Ubangiji yana cewa, “An sayar da ke ba da kuɗi ba, kuma ba da kuɗi za a fanshe ki ba.”
because this is what Yahweh says: “[When you were taken to Babylonia], no one paid me for doing that. So now I will bring you back without [being required to] pay for you!”
4 Gama ga abin da Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka yana cewa, “Da farko mutanena suka gangara zuwa Masar don su zauna; a baya-bayan nan, Assuriya sun zalunce su.
Yahweh [our] Lord [also] says this: “Long ago, my people went to Egypt to live there. [Later] they were being (oppressed/treated cruelly) by [the soldiers of] Assyria.
5 “Yanzu kuma me nake da shi a nan?” In ji Ubangiji. “Gama an kwashe mutanena ba a bakin kome ba kuma waɗanda suka mallake su sun yi musu ba’a, Kullum ana cin gaba da yin wa sunana saɓo.
But now think about what is happening: My people are being forced to be slaves again, this time by the [people of Babylonia]. And [those who have conquered them this time have also] paid me nothing, and they despise me [MTY] continually [DOU].
6 Saboda haka mutanena za su san sunana; saboda haka a wannan rana za su san cewa ni ne wanda ya faɗa wannan. I, ni ne.”
But my people will then have a close relationship with [MTY] me, and when that happens, they will know that I am the one who predicted/promised [that it would happen]. It is I, [Yahweh, who will do it].”
7 Me ya fi wannan kyau a kan duwatsu a ga ƙafafu na masu kawo labari mai daɗi waɗanda suke shelar salama, waɗanda suke kawo labari mai daɗi, waɗanda suke shelar ceto, waɗanda suke ce wa Sihiyona, “Allahnki yana mulki!”
It is a wonderful thing when messengers [MTY] arrive on the mountains/hills, bringing good news, the news about [God giving us] peace and saving us, the news that the God to whom we [Israeli people] belong is now ruling/king!
8 Ki kasa kunne! Masu tsaronki sun tā da muryoyinsu; tare sun yi sowa ta farin ciki. Sa’ad da Ubangiji ya komo Sihiyona, za su gan shi da idanunsu.
The watchmen [who are guarding the city] will shout and sing joyfully, because while they are watching they will see Yahweh returning to Jerusalem.
9 Ku ɓarke cikin waƙoƙin farin ciki gaba ɗaya, kangonki na Urushalima, gama Ubangiji ya ta’azantar da mutanensa, ya fanshi Urushalima.
Jerusalem has been ruined, but the people who are there now should start to sing joyfully, because Yahweh will encourage his people; he will set his people free and bring them back to Jerusalem.
10 Ubangiji zai nuna hannunsa mai tsarki a fili a idanun dukan al’ummai, da kuma dukan iyakokin duniya za su gani ceton Allahnmu.
Yahweh will show all the nations that he is holy and powerful. People in the most remote/distant places on earth will know that he has rescued his people.
11 Ku fita, ku fita daga can! Kada ku taɓa wani abu marar tsarki! Ku fita daga cikinta ku zama da tsarki, ku da kuke ɗaukan kayan aikin Ubangiji.
So, leave [the places where you were taken to when you were captured], where [everything is] unacceptable to God. You men who carry the items used for the worship of Yahweh, leave there [and return to Jerusalem], and purify yourselves [in order to be acceptable to worship God].
12 Amma ba za ku fita a gaggauce ba ko ku tafi da gudu; gama Ubangiji zai ja gabanku, Allah na Isra’ila zai kasance mai tsaron bayanku.
But it will not [be necessary] for you to leave suddenly, to flee in panic, because Yahweh will (go in front of/lead) you; and he will [also] protect you [from being attacked] at the rear [while you travel].
13 Duba, bawana zai aikata abubuwa da hikima; za a tā da shi a kuma ɗaga shi da ɗaukaka ƙwarai.
[Yahweh says], “Listen carefully! My servant will act wisely (OR, do the right things to accomplish what he wants to), and I will highly exalt him.”
14 Kamar dai yadda aka kasance da mutane masu yawa waɗanda suka giggice sa’ad da suka gan shi, kamanninsa ya lalace ƙwarai fiye da na kowane mutum siffarsa kuma ta yi muni fiye da yadda ta mutum take,
But many people will be appalled when they see what has happened to him. [Because of his being beaten very badly], his appearance will be changed; people will hardly recognize that he is a human.
15 haka zai ba al’ummai masu yawa mamaki, sarakuna kuma za su riƙe bakunansu don mamaki. Gama abin da ba a faɗa musu ba, shi za su gani, kuma abin da ba su ji ba, shi za su fahimta.
But he will cause [people of] many nations to be surprised; [even] kings will be silent when they stand in front of him, because they will see someone that no one had told them about [previously], and they will understand things that they had not heard about [before].
