Ishaya 9
1 Duk da haka, babu sauran baƙin ciki ga waɗanda suke shan azaba. Dā ya ƙasƙantar da ƙasar kabilan Zebulun da ƙasar Naftali, amma nan gaba zai girmama Galili na Al’ummai, ta hanyar teku wadda take ta Urdun.
In earlier times he made the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali of small value, but after that he gave it glory, by the way of the sea, on the other side of Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
2 Mutanen da suke tafiya cikin duhu sun ga babban haske; a kan waɗanda suke zama a ƙasar inuwar mutuwa haske ya haskaka.
The people who went in the dark have seen a great light, and for those who were living in the land of the deepest night, the light is shining.
3 Ka fadada al’umma ka kuma ƙara farin cikinsu; suna farin ciki a gabanka yadda mutane sukan yi murna a lokacin girbi, kamar yadda mutane sukan yi farin ciki sa’ad da suke raba ganima.
You have made them very glad, increasing their joy. They are glad before you as men are glad in the time of getting in the grain, or when they make division of the goods taken in war.
4 Gama kamar yadda yake a kwanakin da aka ci Midiyan da yaƙi, kuka ji tsoro nauyin da ya nawaita musu, sandar da yake a kafaɗunsu, sandar masu zaluncinsu.
For by your hand the yoke on his neck and the rod on his back, even the rod of his cruel master, have been broken, as in the day of Midian.
5 Kowane takalmin jarumin da aka yi amfani da shi a yaƙi da kuma kowane rigar da ka naɗe cikin jini zai kasance an ƙone shi zai kuma zama abin hura wuta.
For every boot of the man of war with his sounding step, and the clothing rolled in blood, will be for burning, food for the fire.
6 Gama a gare mu an haifa mana yaro, a gare mu an ba da ɗa, gwamnati za tă kasance a kafaɗarsa. Za a ce da shi Mashawarci Mai Banmamaki, Allah Maɗaukaki Uban Madawwami, Sarkin Salama.
For to us a child has come, to us a son is given; and the government has been placed in his hands; and he has been named Wise Guide, Strong God, Father for ever, Prince of Peace.
7 Game da girmar gwamnatinsa da salama babu iyaka. Zai gāji sarki Dawuda, yă yi mulki a matsayinsa, zai kafa mulkinsa a kan adalci da gaskiya, tun daga yanzu har zuwa ƙarshen zamani. Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ne ya yi niyyar aikata wannan duka.
Of the increase of his rule and of peace there will be no end, on the seat of David, and in his kingdom; to make it strong, supporting it with wise decision and righteousness, now and for ever. By the fixed purpose of the Lord of armies this will be done.
8 Ubangiji ya aika da saƙon gāba da Yaƙub; zai auka wa Isra’ila.
The Lord has sent a word to Jacob, and it has come on Israel;
9 Dukan mutane za su san shi, Efraim da mazaunan Samariya, waɗanda suke magana da fariya suna kuma ɗaga kai,
And all the people will have experience of it, even Ephraim and the men of Samaria, who say in the pride of their uplifted hearts,
10 “Tubalai sun zube a ƙasa, amma za mu sāke gina su da dutse; an sassare itatuwan ɓaure, amma za mu maya su da al’ul.”
The bricks have come down, but we will put up buildings of cut stone in their place: the sycamores are cut down, but they will be changed to cedars.
11 Amma Ubangiji ya ƙarfafa maƙiyan Rezin gāba da su ya kuma ingiza abokan gāba.
For this cause the Lord has made strong the haters of Israel, driving them on to make war against him;
12 Arameyawa daga gabas da Filistiyawa daga yamma sun cinye Isra’ila da buɗaɗɗen baki. Duk da haka, fushinsa bai huce ba, hannunsa har yanzu yana a miƙe.
Aram on the east, and the Philistines on the west, who have come against Israel with open mouths. For all this his wrath is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
13 Amma mutanen ba su juyo wurin wanda ya buge su ba, balle su nemi Ubangiji Maɗaukaki.
But the heart of the people was not turned to him who sent punishment on them, and they made no prayer to the Lord of armies.
14 Saboda haka Ubangiji zai yanke Isra’ila kai da wutsiya, da reshen dabino da iwa a rana guda;
For this cause the Lord took away from Israel head and tail, high and low, in one day.
15 dattawa da manyan mutane su ne kai, annabawa waɗanda suke koyar da ƙarairayi su ne wutsiya.
The man who is honoured and responsible is the head, and the prophet who gives false teaching is the tail.
16 Waɗanda suke jagorar wannan mutane suna ɓad da su, su ne waɗanda ake jagora aka sa suka kauce.
For the guides of this people are the cause of their wandering from the right way, and those who are guided by them come to destruction.
17 Saboda haka Ubangiji ba zai ji daɗin matasa ba, ba kuwa zai ji tausayin marayu da gwauraye ba, gama kowa marar sanin Allah ne da kuma mugu, kowane baki yana faɗin mugayen maganganu. Duk da haka, fushinsa bai huce ba, hannunsa har yanzu yana a miƙe.
For this cause the Lord will have no pleasure in their young men, and no pity on their widows and the children without fathers: for they are all haters of God and evil-doers, and foolish words come from every mouth. For all this his wrath is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
18 Tabbatacce mugunta tana ƙuna kamar wuta; tana cin ƙayayyuwa da sarƙaƙƙiya, ta sa wuta a jeji mai itatuwa masu yawa, don yă yi murtuke hayaƙi har zuwa sama.
For evil was burning like a fire; the blackberries and thorns were burned up; the thick woods took fire, rolling up in dark clouds of smoke.
19 Ta wurin fushin Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ƙasar za tă ci wuta mutane kuma za su zama abin hura wutar, babu wanda zai ji tausayin ɗan’uwansa.
The land was dark with the wrath of the Lord of armies: the people were like those who take men's flesh for food.
20 A dama za su ci, amma su ci gaba da jin yunwa; a hagu za su ci, amma ba za su ƙoshi ba. Kowa zai mai da naman’ya’yansa abinci.
On the right a man was cutting off bits and was still in need; on the left a man took a meal but had not enough; no man had pity on his brother; every man was making a meal of the flesh of his neighbour.
21 Manasse zai mai da Efraim abinci, Efraim kuma yă cinye Manasse; tare za su yi gāba da Yahuda. Duk da haka, fushinsa bai huce ba, hannunsa har yanzu yana a miƙe.
Manasseh was making a meal of Ephraim, and Ephraim of Manasseh; and together they were attacking Judah. For all this his wrath is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
