Ishaya 59
1 Tabbatacce hannun Ubangiji bai kāsa yin ceto ba, kunnensa kuma bai kurmance da zai kāsa ji ba.
Truly, the Lord's hand has not become short, so that he is unable to give salvation; and his ear is not shut from hearing:
2 Amma laifofinku sun raba ku da Allahnku; zunubanku sun ɓoye fuskarsa daga gare ku, saboda kada yă ji.
But your sins have come between you and your God, and by your evil doings his face has been veiled from you, so that he will give you no answer.
3 Gama hannuwanku sun ƙazantu da jini, yatsotsinku kuma da alhaki. Leɓunanku suna faɗin ƙarairayi, harshenku kuma yana raɗar mugayen abubuwa.
For your hands are unclean with blood, and your fingers with sin; your lips have said false things, and your tongue gives out deceit.
4 Babu wani mai ce a yi adalci; babu wani mai nema a dubi al’amarinsa da mutunci. Sun dogara a gardandamin banza suna ƙarairayi; suna ɗaukar cikin ɓarna, su haifi mugunta.
No one puts forward an upright cause, or gives a true decision: their hope is in deceit, and their words are false; they are with child with sin, and give birth to evil.
5 Suna ƙyanƙyashe ƙwan kāsā su kuma saƙa yanar gizo-gizo. Duk wanda ya ci ƙwansu zai mutu, kuma sa’ad da ƙwan ya fashe, zai ƙyanƙyashe kububuwa.
They give birth to snake's eggs, and make spider's threads: whoever takes their eggs for food comes to his death, and the egg which is crushed becomes a poison-snake.
6 Yanar gizo-gizonsu ba amfani don tufa; ba za su iya rufuwa da abin da suka yi ba. Ayyukansu mugaye ne, ayyukan tā da hargitsi kuma suna a hannuwansu.
Their twisted threads will not make clothing, and their works will give them nothing for covering themselves: their works are works of sin, and violent acts are in their hands.
7 Ƙafafunsu sukan gaggauta zuwa aikata zunubi; suna da saurin zub da jini. Tunaninsu mugaye ne; lalaci da hallaka sun shata hanyoyinsu.
Their feet go quickly to evil, and they take delight in the death of the upright; their thoughts are thoughts of sin; wasting and destruction are in their ways.
8 Ba su san hanyar salama ba; babu adalci a hanyoyinsu. Sun mai da su karkatattun hanyoyi; babu wanda zai yi tafiya a kansu ya sami salama.
They have no knowledge of the way of peace, and there is no sense of what is right in their behaviour: they have made for themselves ways which are not straight; whoever goes in them has no knowledge of peace.
9 Saboda haka gaskiya ta yi nisa da mu, adalci kuma ba ya kaiwa gare mu. Muna neman haske, sai ga duhu; muna neman haske, sai muka yi ta tafiya cikin baƙin inuwa.
For this cause our right is far from us, and righteousness does not overtake us: we are looking for light, but there is only the dark; for the shining of the sun, but our way is in the night.
10 Kamar makafi, sai lallubar bango muke yi, muna lallubawar hanyarmu kamar marasa idanu. Da tsakar rana muna tuntuɓe sai ka ce wuri ya fara duhu; cikin ƙarfafa, mun zama kamar matattu.
We go on our way, like blind men feeling for the wall, even like those who have no eyes: we are running against things in daylight as if it was evening; our place is in the dark like dead men.
11 Muna gurnani kamar beyar; muna ta ƙugi kamar kurciyoyi. Muna ta neman adalci amma ina; mun nemi fansa, amma yana can da nisa.
We make noises of grief, like bears, and sad sounds like doves: we are looking for our right, but it is not there; for salvation, but it is far from us.
12 Gama laifofinmu suna da yawa a gabanka, zunubanmu kuma suna ba da shaida gāba da mu. Laifofinmu kullum suna a gabanmu, muna kuma sane da laifofinmu,
For our evil doings are increased before you, and our sins give witness against us: for our evil doings are with us, and we have knowledge of our sins:
13 tawaye da mūsun Ubangiji, mun juye bayanmu ga Allahnmu, zugawa a yi zalunci da tayarwa, faɗin ƙarairayi da zukatanmu suka shirya.
We have gone against the Lord, and been false to him, turning away from our God, our words have been uncontrolled, and in our hearts are thoughts of deceit.
14 Saboda haka aka kau da yin gaskiya adalci kuma ya tsaya can da nesa; gaskiya ta yi tuntuɓe a tituna, sahihanci ba zai shiga ba.
And the right is turned back, and righteousness is far away: for good faith is not to be seen in the public places, and upright behaviour may not come into the town.
15 Gaskiya ta ɓace gaba ɗaya, kuma duk wanda ya guji mugunta zai zama ganima. Ubangiji ya duba bai kuwa ji daɗi cewa babu adalci ba.
Yes, faith is gone; and he whose heart is turned from evil comes into the power of the cruel: and the Lord saw it, and he was angry that there was no one to take up their cause.
16 Ya ga cewa babu wani, ya yi mamaki cewa babu wanda zai shiga tsakani; saboda haka hannunsa ya aikata masa ceto, adalcinsa kuma ya raya shi.
And he saw that there was no man, and was surprised that there was no one to take up their cause: so his arm gave salvation, and he made righteousness his support.
17 Ya yafa sulke a matsayin rigar ƙirji, da hulan kwanon ceto a kansa; ya sa rigunan ɗaukar fansa ya kuma nannaɗe kansa da kishi kamar a cikin alkyabba.
Yes, he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and salvation as a head-dress; and he put on punishment as clothing, and wrath as a robe.
18 Bisa ga abin da suka yi, haka za a sāka fushi a kan abokan gābansa ramuwa kuma a kan maƙiyansa; zai sāka wa tsibirai abin da ya dace da su.
He will give them the right reward of their doings, wrath to his attackers, punishment to his haters, and even on the sea-lands he will send punishment.
19 Daga yamma, mutane za su ji tsoron Ubangiji, daga mafitar rana kuma, za su girmama ɗaukakarsa. Gama zai zo kamar rigyawa mai tsananin gudu cewa numfashin Ubangiji zai tafi tare da shi.
So they will see the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the east: for he will come like a rushing stream, forced on by a wind of the Lord.
20 “Mai fansa zai zo Sihiyona, zuwa waɗanda suke cikin Yaƙub da suka tuba daga zunubansu,” in ji Ubangiji.
And as a saviour he will come to Zion, turning away sin from Jacob, says the Lord.
21 “Game da ni dai, ga alkawarina da su,” in ji Ubangiji. “Ruhuna, wanda yake a kanka, da kuma maganata da na sa a bakinka ba za tă rabu da bakinka ba, ko daga bakunan’ya’yanka ba, ko kuwa daga bakunan zuriyarsu ba daga wannan lokaci zuwa gaba da kuma har abada,” in ji Ubangiji.
And as for me, this is my agreement with them, says the Lord: my spirit which is on you, and my words which I have put in your mouth, will not go away from your mouth, or from the mouth of your seed, or from the mouth of your seed's seed, says the Lord, from now and for ever.
