< Mika 7 >
1 Tawa ta ƙare! Ina kama da wanda yake tattara’ya’yan itatuwa a lokacin kalar’ya’yan inabi; babu sauran nonon inabin da za a tsinka a ci, babu kuma’ya’yan ɓaure na farko-farkon da raina yake marmari.
Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer-fruits, as the grape-gleanings of the vintage. There is no cluster to eat; there is no early fruit [which] my soul desired.
2 An kawar da masu tsoron Allah daga ƙasar; babu sauran mai adalcin da ya rage. Dukan mutane suna kwanto don su zub da jini; kowa yana farautar ɗan’uwansa da tarko.
The godly [man] hath perished out of the land, and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood, they hunt every man his brother with a net.
3 Dukan hannuwansu sun gwaninta wajen yin mugunta; shugabanni suna nema a ba su kyautai, alƙalai suna nema a ba su cin hanci, masu iko suna faɗar son zuciyarsu, duk suna ƙulla makirci tare.
Both hands are for evil, to do it well. The prince asketh, and the judge [is there] for a reward; and the great [man] uttereth his soul's greed: and [together] they combine it.
4 Mafi kyau a cikinsu yana kama da ƙaya, mafi gaskiyarsu ya fi shingen ƙaya muni. Ranar da Allah zai ziyarce ku ta zo, ranar da masu gadinku za su hura ƙaho. Yanzu ne lokacin ruɗewarku.
The best of them is as a briar; the most upright, [worse] than a thorn-fence. The day of thy watchmen, thy visitation is come; now shall be their perplexity.
5 Kada ka yarda da maƙwabci; kada ka sa begenka ga abokai. Ko ma wadda take kwance a ƙirjinka, ka yi hankali da kalmominka.
Believe ye not in a companion, put not confidence in a familiar friend: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.
6 Gama ɗa yakan ce wannan ba mahaifinsa ba ne, diya kuma takan tayar wa mahaifiyarta, matar ɗa takan yi gāba da uwar mijinta, abokan gāban mutum su ne iyalin cikin gidansa.
For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law: a man's enemies are the men of his own household.
7 Amma game da ni, zan sa bege ga Ubangiji, ina sauraron Allah Mai Cetona; Allahna kuwa zai ji ni.
But as for me, I will look unto Jehovah; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.
8 Kada ku yi farin ciki, ku maƙiyana! Ko da yake na fāɗi, zan tashi. Ko da yake na zauna a cikin duhu, Ubangiji zai zama haskena.
Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: though I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, Jehovah shall be a light unto me.
9 Domin na yi masa zunubi, zan fuskanci fushin Ubangiji, har sai ya dubi batuna ya kuma tabbatar da’yancina. Zai kawo ni zuwa wurin haske; zan ga adalcinsa.
I will bear the indignation of Jehovah — for I have sinned against him — until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light; I shall behold his righteousness.
10 Sa’an nan maƙiyina zai gani yă kuma sha kunya, shi da yake ce da ni “Ina Ubangiji Allahnka?” Zai gani, yă kuma ji kunya. Ko yanzu ma za a tattake shi kamar taɓo a tituna.
And mine enemy shall see [it], and shame shall cover her which said unto me, Where is Jehovah thy God? Mine eyes shall behold her; now shall she be trodden down, as the mire of the streets.
11 Ranar gina katangarka tana zuwa, a ranar za a fadada iyakokinka.
In the day when thy walls shall be built, on that day shall the established limit recede.
12 A wannan rana mutane za su zo gare ka daga Assuriya da kuma biranen Masar, daga Masar ma har zuwa Yuferites daga teku zuwa teku, kuma daga dutse zuwa dutse.
In that day they shall come to thee from Assyria and the cities of Egypt, and from Egypt to the river, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain.
13 Duniya za tă zama kufai saboda mazaunanta, saboda ayyukansu.
But the land shall be desolate because of them that dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings.
14 Ka yi kiwon mutanenka da sandarka, garken gādonka, wanda yake zaune shi kaɗai a kurmi, a ƙasa mai kyau ta kiwo, bari su yi kiwo a Bashan da Gileyad kamar a kwanakin dā.
Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thine inheritance, dwelling alone in the forest, in the midst of Carmel: let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.
15 “Kamar a kwanakin da kuka fito daga Masar, zan nuna musu al’ajabaina.”
— As in the days of thy coming forth out of the land of Egypt, will I shew them marvellous things.
16 Al’ummai za su gani su kuma ji kunya, za a kuma ƙwace musu dukan ikonsu. Za su kama bakinsu kunnuwansu kuma za su zama kurame.
— The nations shall see, and be ashamed for all their might: they shall lay [their] hand upon [their] mouth, their ears shall be deaf.
17 Za su lashi ƙura kamar maciji, kamar dabbobi masu rarrafe a ƙasa. Za su fito daga maɓuyarsu da rawan jiki, za su juya cikin tsoro ga Ubangiji Allahnmu su kuma ji tsoronku.
They shall lick dust like the serpent; like crawling things of the earth, they shall come trembling forth from their close places. They shall turn with fear to Jehovah our God, and shall be afraid because of thee.
18 Wane ne Allah kamar ka, wanda yake yafe zunubi yă kuma gafarta laifofin mutanensa da suka ragu? Ba ka zama mai fushi har abada amma kana marmari ka nuna jinƙai.
Who is a God like unto thee, that forgiveth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? He retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in loving-kindness.
19 Za ka sāke jin tausayinmu; za ka tattake zunubanmu a ƙarƙashin sawunka ka kuma tura dukan kurakuranmu zuwa cikin zurfafan teku.
He will yet again have compassion on us, he will tread under foot our iniquities: and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
20 Za ka yi wa Yaƙub aminci, ka kuma nuna jinƙai ga Ibrahim, kamar yadda ka yi alkawari da rantsuwa ga kakanninmu tun a kwanankin dā.
Thou wilt perform truth to Jacob, loving-kindness to Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers, from the days of old.
