Ishaya 8
1 Ubangiji ya ce mini, “Ka ɗauki naɗaɗɗen littafi mai girma ka yi rubutu a kai da alƙalami kurum, Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz.
And the Lord said to me, Take a great writing-board, and on it put down in common letters, Maher-shalal-hash-baz;
2 Zan kuma kira Uriya firist da Zakariya ɗan Yeberekiya su zama mini amintattun shaidu.”
And take true witnesses to the writing, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah, the son of Jeberechiah.
3 Sa’an nan na tafi na yi jima’i da annabiya, ta kuwa yi ciki ta haifi ɗa. Ubangiji kuma ya ce mini, “Raɗa masa suna, Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz.
And I went in to my wife, and she became with child, and gave birth to a son. Then the Lord said to me, Give him the name Maher-shalal-hash-baz,
4 Kafin yaron yă san yadda zai ce ‘Babana’ ko ‘Mamana,’ sarkin Assuriya zai kwashe arzikin Damaskus da ganimar Samariya.”
For before the child is able to say, Father, or, Mother, the wealth of Damascus and the goods of Samaria will be taken away by the king of Assyria.
5 Ubangiji ya sāke yi mini magana ya ce,
And the Lord said again to me,
6 “Domin wannan jama’a ta ƙi natsattsen ruwan rafin Shilowa suka yi ta farin ciki a kan Rezin ɗan Remaliya,
Because this people will have nothing to do with the softly-flowing waters of Shiloah, and have fear of Rezin and Remaliah's son;
7 saboda haka Ubangiji yana shirin yă kawo musu rigyawar ruwan Kogi, wato, sarkin Assuriya da dukan sojojinsa. Zai cika dukan gaɓoɓinsa, yă kuma malala har zuwa bakin kogi.
For this cause the Lord is sending on them the waters of the River, deep and strong, even the king of Assyria and all his glory: and it will come up through all its streams, overflowing all its edges:
8 Yă yi ta malala har zuwa cikin Yahuda, yă shafe ta, yana ratsa ta ciki har yă kai kafaɗa. Fikafikansa da ya buɗe za su rufe fāɗin ƙasarka, Ya Immanuwel!”
And it will come on into Judah; rushing on and overflowing, till the waters are up to the neck; and his outstretched wings will be covering the land from side to side: for God is with us.
9 Ku yi kururuwar yaƙi, ku ƙasashe, ku kuma ji tsoro! Ku saurara, dukanku manisantan ƙasashe. Ku shirya don yaƙi, ku kuma ji tsoro!
Have knowledge, O peoples, and be in fear; give ear, all you far-off parts of the earth:
10 Ku ƙirƙiro dabarunku, amma ba za su yi nasara ba; ku ƙulla shirye-shiryenku, amma ba za su yi amfani ba, gama Allah yana tare da mu.
Let your designs be formed, and they will come to nothing; give your orders, and they will not be effected: for God is with us.
11 Ubangiji ya yi mini magana da hannunsa mai ƙarfi a kaina, yana yi mini gargaɗi kada in bi hanyar waɗannan mutane. Ya ce,
For the Lord, controlling me with a strong hand, gave me orders not to go in the way of this people, saying,
12 “Kada ka kira wani abu makirci game da kome da waɗannan mutane suke kira makirci; kada ji tsoron abin da suke tsoro, kada kuma ka firgita game da shi.
Do not say, It is holy, about everything of which this people says, It is holy; and do not be in fear of what they go in fear of.
13 Ubangiji Maɗaukaki shi ne za ka ɗauka a matsayi mai tsarki, shi ne wanda za ka ji tsoro, shi ne za ka yi rawar jiki a gabansa,
But let the Lord of armies be holy to you, and go in fear of him, giving honour to him.
14 zai kuwa kasance a wuri mai tsarki; amma ga dukan gidajen Isra’ila zai zama dutsen da zai sa mutane su yi tuntuɓe dutse kuma da zai sa su fāɗi. Ga dukan mutanen Urushalima kuma zai zama tarko da raga.
And he will be for a holy place: but for a stone of falling and a rock of trouble to the two houses of Israel, and to the men of Jerusalem, for a net in which they may be taken.
15 Yawancinsu za su yi tuntuɓe; za su fāɗi a kuwa ragargaza su, za a sa musu tarko a kuma kama su.”
And numbers of them, falling on the stone, will be broken, and will be taken in the net.
16 Ɗaura shaidar nan ta gargadi ka kuma yimƙe umarnin Allah a cikin almajiraina.
Let my teaching be kept secret: and my words be given to my disciples only.
17 Zan saurari Ubangiji, wanda ya ɓoye fuskarsa daga gidan Yaƙub. Zan dogara gare shi.
And I will be waiting for the Lord, whose face is veiled from the house of Jacob, and I will be looking for him.
18 Ga ni, da yaran da Ubangiji ya ba ni. Mu alamu ne da shaidu a cikin Isra’ila daga Ubangiji Maɗaukaki, wanda yake zama a Dutsen Sihiyona.
See, I and the children whom the Lord has given me, are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the Lord of armies, whose resting-place is in Mount Zion.
19 Sa’ad da mutane suka ce muku ku nemi shawarar’yan bori da masu sihiri, waɗanda suke shaƙe murya har ba a jin abin da suke faɗi, bai kamata mutane su nemi shawara daga Allahnsu ba? Me zai sa ku nemi shawara daga matattu a madadin masu rai?
And when they say to you, Make request for us to those who have control of spirits, and to those wise in secret arts, who make hollow bird-like sounds; is it not right for a people to make request to their gods, to make request for the living to the dead?
20 Nemi umarnin Allah da kuma shaidar jan kunne. Duk wanda bai yi magana bisa ga wannan kalma ba, ba su da amfani.
Then say to them, Put your faith in the teaching and the witness. ... If they do not say such things. ... For him there is no dawn. ...
21 Cikin matsuwa da yunwa, za su yi ta kai komo ko’ina a ƙasar; sa’ad da suka ji yunwa, za su yi fushi su tā da idanu sama, su zagi sarkinsu da Allahnsu.
And he will go through the land in bitter trouble and in need of food; and when he is unable to get food, he will become angry, cursing his king and his God, and his eyes will be turned to heaven on high;
22 Sa’an nan za su zura wa ƙasa idanu, abin da za su gani kawai shi ne matsuwa da duhu da kuma abin banrazana, za a kuma jefa su cikin baƙin duhu.
And he will be looking down on the earth, and there will be trouble and dark clouds, black night where there is no seeing.
