< 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! I have become like the gathering of summer fruit, and like the grapes that have been gleaned; there is no grape cluster to eat, no ripe early fig that my soul desires.
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.
Faithful people have disappeared from the land; there is no upright person in all mankind. They all lie in wait to shed blood; each one hunts his own 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.
Their hands are very good at doing harm: the ruler asks for money, the judge is ready for bribes, and the powerful man is saying to others what he wants to obtain. Thus they plot together.
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 like a brier, the most upright is worse than a thorn hedge. It is the day foretold by your watchmen, the day of your punishment. Now is the time of their confusion.
5 Kada ka yarda da maƙwabci; kada ka sa begenka ga abokai. Ko ma wadda take kwance a ƙirjinka, ka yi hankali da kalmominka.
Do not trust any neighbor; put no confidence in any friend. Be careful about what you say even to the woman who lies in your arms.
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 a son dishonors his father, a daughter rises up against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. A man's enemies are the people of his own house.
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 to Yahweh. 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.
Do not rejoice over me, my enemy. After I fall, I will rise. When I sit in darkness, Yahweh will be a light for 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.
Because I sinned against Yahweh, I will bear his rage until he pleads my cause, and executes judgment for me. He will bring me to the light, and I will see him rescue me in his justice.
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.
Then my enemy will see it, and shame will cover the one who said to me, “Where is Yahweh your God?” My eyes will look at her; she will be trampled down like the mud in the streets.
11 Ranar gina katangarka tana zuwa, a ranar za a fadada iyakokinka.
A day to build your walls will come; on that day the boundaries will be extended very far.
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.
On that day your people will come to you, from Assyria and the cities in Egypt, from Egypt to the River, from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain.
13 Duniya za tă zama kufai saboda mazaunanta, saboda ayyukansu.
But the land will be desolate because of the people who are living there, because of the fruit of their actions.
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.
Shepherd your people with your rod, the flock of your inheritance. They live alone in a thicket, in the midst of a pastureland. Let them graze in Bashan and Gilead as in the old days.
15 “Kamar a kwanakin da kuka fito daga Masar, zan nuna musu al’ajabaina.”
As in the days when you came out of the land of Egypt, I will show them wonders.
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 will see and be ashamed of all their power. They will put their hands on their mouths; their ears will 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 will lick the dust like a snake, like creatures that crawl on the earth. They will come out of their dens with fear; they will come with fear to you, Yahweh our God, and they will be afraid because of you.
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 you— who takes away sin, who passes over the transgression of the remnant of his inheritance? He does not keep his anger forever, because he delights in his covenant faithfulness.
19 Za ka sāke jin tausayinmu; za ka tattake zunubanmu a ƙarƙashin sawunka ka kuma tura dukan kurakuranmu zuwa cikin zurfafan teku.
You will again have compassion on us; you will trample our iniquities under your feet. You will throw all our 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.
You will give truth to Jacob and covenant faithfulness to Abraham, as you swore to our ancestors in ancient days.
