1 Ku busa ƙaho a cikin Sihiyona; ku yi karar amo a tsaunina mai tsarki. Bari dukan mazaunan ƙasar su yi rawan jiki, gama ranar Ubangiji tana zuwa. Tana gab da faruwa
Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is near at hand;
2 rana ce ta baƙin duhu ƙirin, ranar gizagizai ce baƙi ƙirin. Babbar rundunar mayaƙa mai ƙarfi tana zuwa kamar ketowar alfijir a kan duwatsu yadda ba a taɓa ganin irinta ba, ba kuwa za a ƙara ganin irinta ba har tsararraki masu zuwa.
A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.
3 A gabansu wuta tana ci, a bayansu ga harshen wuta yana ci, A gabansu ƙasa ta yi kamar gonar Eden, a bayansu kuma jeji ne wofi, babu abin da ya kuɓuce musu.
A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.
4 Suna da kamannin dawakai; suna gudu kamar dokin yaƙi.
The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run.
5 Da motsi kamar na kekunan yaƙi sun tsallake ƙwanƙolin duwatsu, kamar ƙarar harshen wuta mai cin tattaka, kamar runduna mai ƙarfi wadda ta ja dāgār yaƙi.
Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.
6 Da ganinsu, al’ummai sun kamu da azaba; kowace fuska ta yanƙwane.
Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness.
7 Sukan auka kamar jarumawa; sukan hau katanga kamar sojoji. Kowa yana takawa bisa ga tsari, ba mai kaucewa.
They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks:
8 Ba sa turin juna, kowane yakan miƙe gaba. Sukan kutsa cikin abokan gāba ba mai tsai da su.
Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded.
9 Sukan ruga cikin birni, suna gudu a kan katanga. Sukan hau gidaje, sukan shiga ta tagogi kamar ɓarayi.
They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief.
10 A gabansu duniya takan girgiza, sararin sama kuma yakan jijjigu, rana da wata su yi duhu, taurari kuma ba sa ba da haske.
The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining:
11 Ubangiji ya yi tsawa wa shugaban mayaƙansa; sojojinsa sun fi a ƙirge masu ƙarfi ne kuma su waɗanda suke biyayya da umarninsa. Ranar Ubangiji da girma take; mai banrazana. Wa zai iya jure mata?
And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?
12 “Ko yanzu”, in ji Ubangiji, “Ku juyo gare ni da dukan zuciyarku, da azumi da kuka da makoki.”
Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:
13 Ku kyakkece zuciyarku ba rigunanku ba. Ku juyo ga Ubangiji Allahnku, gama shi mai alheri ne mai tausayi kuma mai jinkirin fushi da yawan ƙauna, yakan kuma janye daga aika da bala’i.
And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn to the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth of the evil.
14 Wa ya sani? Ko zai juya yă kuma ji tausayi yă sa mana albarka ta wurin hadaya ta gari da hadaya ta sha wa Ubangiji Allahnku.
Who knoweth if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a meat offering and a drink offering to the LORD your God?
15 A busa ƙaho a Sihiyona, a yi shelar azumi mai tsarki, a kira tsarkakan taro.
Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly:
16 A tattara mutane; ku tsarkake taron; ku kawo dattawa wuri ɗaya; ku kuma tara yara, da waɗanda suke shan mama. Bari ango yă bar ɗakinsa amarya kuma lolokinta.
Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that nurse at the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth from his chamber, and the bride out of her room.
17 Bari firistocin da suke yin hidima a gaban Ubangiji, su yi kuka tsakanin filin haikali da bagade. Bari su ce, “Ka cece mutanenka, ya Ubangiji. Kada ka bar gādonka yă zama abin dariya, da abin ba’a a cikin al’ummai. Me zai sa a ce a cikin mutane, ‘Ina Allahnsu yake?’”
Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not thy heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: why should they say among the people, Where is their God?
18 Ta haka Ubangiji zai yi kishin ƙasarsa yă kuma ji tausayin mutanensa.
Then will the LORD be jealous for his land, and pity his people.
19 Ubangiji zai amsa musu ya ce, “Ina aika da hatsi, sabon ruwan inabi, da mai, isashe da zai ƙosar da ku sosai; ba kuma zan ƙara maishe ku abin dariya ga al’ummai ba.
And the LORD will answer and say to his people, Behold, I will send you grain, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied with it: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen:
20 “Zan kori sojojin arewa nesa da ku, in tura su cikin busasshiyar ƙasa marar amfani kuma, kuma da sawunsu na gaba zan tura su zuwa gabashin teku da kuma sawunsu na baya tura su zuwa yammanci a Bahar Rum. Warinsu kuma zai bazu; ɗoyinsu zai tashi.” Tabbatacce ya yi al’amura masu girma.
But I will remove far from you the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his rear toward the west sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great things.
21 Kada ki ji tsoro, ya ƙasa; ki yi murna ki kuma yi farin ciki. Tabbatacce Ubangiji ya yi abubuwa masu girma.
Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do great things.
22 Kada ku ji tsoro, ya ku namun jeji, gama wuraren kiwo sun yi kore shar. Itatuwa suna ba da’ya’yansu; itacen ɓaure da na inabi suna ba da amfaninsu.
Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth its fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength.
23 Ku yi murna, ya ku mutanen Sihiyona, ku yi farin ciki cikin Ubangiji Allahnku, gama ya ba ku ruwan bazara cikin adalci. Yakan aika muku yayyafi a yalwace, na bazara da na kaka, kamar dā.
Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.
24 Masussukai za su cika da hatsi; randuna za su cika da sabon ruwan inabi da mai suna zuba.
And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with wine and oil.
25 “Zan mayar muku da abin da fāra suka ci a waɗannan shekaru waɗanda ɗango da fāra masu gaigayewa, da kuma sauran fāra da tarin fāra babban mayaƙan da na aika don su fāɗa muku.
And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.
26 Za ku sami a wadace ku ci, har sai kun ƙoshi, za ku kuma yabi sunan Ubangiji Allahnku, wanda ya yi muku ayyukan banmamaki; mutanena ba za su ƙara shan kunya ba.
And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.
27 Sa’an nan za ku sani ina cikin Isra’ila, cewa ni ne Ubangiji Allahnku, babu wani kuma; mutanena ba za su ƙara shan kunya ba.
And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.
28 “Daga baya kuma, zan zuba Ruhuna a bisan dukan mutane.’Ya’yanku maza da mata za su yi annabci, tsofaffinku za su yi mafarkai, matasanku za su ga wahayoyi.
And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
29 Har ma a bisan bayina, maza da mata, zan zuba Ruhuna a kwanakin nan.
And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
30 Zan nuna abubuwan banmamaki a cikin sammai da kuma a kan duniya, za a ga jini da wuta da murtukewar hayaƙi.
And I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
31 Rana za tă duhunta wata kuma yă zama jini kafin isowar babbar ranan nan mai banrazana ta Ubangiji.
The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD shall come.
32 Amma dukan waɗanda suka nemi Ubangiji za su tsira. Kamar yadda Ubangiji ya ce, gama a Dutsen Sihiyona da Urushalima akwai ceto, a cikin waɗannan da Ubangiji ya kira.
And it shall come to pass, that whoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.
