Ishaya 48
1 “Ku kasa kunne ga wannan, ya gidan Yaƙub, waɗanda ake kira da sunan Isra’ila suka kuma fito daga zuriyar Yahuda, ku da kuke yin rantsuwa da sunan Ubangiji kuna kuma kira sunan Allah na Isra’ila, amma ba da gaskiya ko adalci ba,
“Hear this, house of Jacob, you who are called by the name of Israel, and have come out of the waters of Judah. You swear by Yahweh’s name, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness—
2 ku da kuke kiran kanku’yan ƙasar birni mai tsarki kuna kuma dogara ga Allah na Isra’ila, Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ne sunansa,
for they call themselves citizens of the holy city, and rely on the God of Israel; Yahweh of Armies is his name.
3 na nanata abubuwan da suka riga suka faru tuntuni, bakina ya yi shelar su na kuma sanar da su; sai nan da nan na aikata, suka kuma faru.
I have declared the former things from of old. Yes, they went out of my mouth, and I revealed them. I did them suddenly, and they happened.
4 Gama na san yadda kuke da taurinkai; jijiyoyin wuyanku ƙarafa ne, goshinku tagulla ne.
Because I knew that you are obstinate, and your neck is an iron sinew, and your brow bronze;
5 Saboda haka na faɗa waɗannan abubuwa tuntuni; kafin su faru na yi shelarsu gare ku saboda kada ku ce, ‘Gumakana ne suka yi su; siffar itacena da allahn zinariyana ne ya ƙaddara su.’
therefore I have declared it to you from of old; before it came to pass I showed it to you; lest you should say, ‘My idol has done them. My engraved image and my molten image has commanded them.’
6 Kun riga kun ji waɗannan abubuwa; kuka gan su duka. Ba za ku yarda da su ba? “Daga yanzu zuwa gaba zan faɗa muku sababbin abubuwa, na ɓoyayyun abubuwan da ba ku sani ba.
You have heard it. Now see all this. And you, won’t you declare it? “I have shown you new things from this time, even hidden things, which you have not known.
7 Yanzu an halicce su, ba da daɗewa ba; ba ku riga kun ji game da su kafin yau ba. Saboda haka ba za ku ce, ‘I, na san da su ba.’
They are created now, and not from of old. Before today, you didn’t hear them, lest you should say, ‘Behold, I knew them.’
8 Ba ku ji ko balle ku gane ba; tun da kunnenku bai buɗu ba. Tabbatacce na san yadda kun zama masu tayarwa; an kira ku’yan tawaye daga haihuwa.
Yes, you didn’t hear. Yes, you didn’t know. Yes, from of old your ear was not opened, for I knew that you dealt very treacherously, and were called a transgressor from the womb.
9 Saboda girman sunana na jinkirta fushina; saboda girman yabona na janye shi daga gare ku, don dai kada a yanke ku.
For my name’s sake, I will defer my anger, and for my praise, I hold it back for you so that I don’t cut you off.
10 Duba, na tace ku, ko da yake ba kamar azurfa ba; na gwada ku cikin wutar wahala.
Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver. I have chosen you in the furnace of affliction.
11 Saboda girmana, saboda girmana, na yi haka. Yaya zan ƙyale a ƙazantar da kaina? Ba zan raba ɗaukakata da wani ba.
For my own sake, for my own sake, I will do it; for how would my name be profaned? I will not give my glory to another.
12 “Ka kasa kunne gare ni, ya Yaƙub, Isra’ila, wanda na kira cewa, Ni ne shi; ni ne na farko ni ne kuma na ƙarshe.
“Listen to me, O Jacob, and Israel my called: I am he. I am the first. I am also the last.
13 Hannuna ne ya kafa harsashen duniya, hannuna na dama kuma ya shimfiɗa sammai; sa’ad da na kira su, duka suka miƙe tsaye gaba ɗaya.
Yes, my hand has laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand has spread out the heavens. when I call to them, they stand up together.
14 “Ku tattaru, dukanku ku kuma saurara, Wanne a cikin gumakan ya iya faɗa waɗannan abubuwa? Zaɓaɓɓen da Ubangiji yake ƙauna zai aikata nufinsa a kan Babilon; hannunsa zai yi gāba da Babiloniyawa.
“Assemble yourselves, all of you, and hear! Who among them has declared these things? He whom Yahweh loves will do what he likes to Babylon, and his arm will be against the Chaldeans.
15 Ni kaina, na faɗa; I, na kira shi. Zan kawo shi, zai kuma yi nasara a cikin aikinsa.
I, even I, have spoken. Yes, I have called him. I have brought him and he shall make his way prosperous.
16 “Ku zo kusa da ni ku kuma saurari wannan. “Daga farkon shela ban yi magana a ɓoye ba; a lokacin da ya faru, ina nan a wurin.” Yanzu kuwa Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka ya aiko ni, da Ruhunsa.
“Come near to me and hear this: “From the beginning I have not spoken in secret; from the time that it happened, I was there.” Now the Lord Yahweh has sent me with his Spirit.
17 Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, Mai Fansarku, Mai Tsarkin nan na Isra’ila ya ce, “Ni ne Ubangiji Allahnku, wanda ya koya muku abin da ya fi muku kyau, wanda ya muku hanyar da za ku bi.
Yahweh, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, says: “I am Yahweh your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you by the way that you should go.
18 Da a ce kawai za ku mai da hankali ga umarnaina, da salamarku ta zama kamar kogi, adalcinku kamar raƙuman teku.
Oh that you had listened to my commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river and your righteousness like the waves of the sea.
19 Da zuriyarku ta zama kamar yashi,’ya’yanku kamar tsabar hatsin da ba a iya ƙidayawa; da ba za a taɓa yanke sunansu balle a hallaka su daga gabana ba.”
Your offspring also would have been as the sand and the descendants of your body like its grains. His name would not be cut off nor destroyed from before me.”
20 Ku bar Babilon, ku gudu daga Babiloniyawa! Ku yi shelar wannan da sowa ta farin ciki ku kuma furta shi. Ku aika shi zuwa iyakokin duniya; ku ce, “Ubangiji ya fanshi bawansa Yaƙub.”
Leave Babylon! Flee from the Chaldeans! With the sound of joyful shouting announce this, tell it even to the end of the earth; say, “Yahweh has redeemed his servant Jacob!”
21 Ba su ji ƙishi ba sa’ad da ya bishe su a cikin hamada; ya sa ruwa ya malalo dominsu daga dutse; ya tsage dutse ruwa kuwa ya kwararo.
They didn’t thirst when he led them through the deserts. He caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them. He also split the rock and the waters gushed out.
22 “Babu salama ga mugaye” in ji Ubangiji.
“There is no peace”, says Yahweh, “for the wicked.”
