Hosea 13
1 When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling; he was exalted in Israel. But he incurred guilt through Baal, and he died.
Sa’ad da Efraim ya yi magana, mutane sun yi rawan jiki; an girmama shi a cikin Isra’ila. Amma sai ya zama mai laifi na yin wa Ba’al sujada, ya kuwa mutu.
2 Now they sin more and more and make for themselves cast images, idols skillfully made from their silver, all of them the work of craftsmen. People say of them, “They offer human sacrifice and kiss the calves!”
Yanzu sai yin zunubi a kai a kai suke; suna yin gumaka wa kansu daga azurfansu, da wayo suna sarrafa siffofi, dukansu aikin masu aikin hannu ne. Ana magana waɗannan mutane cewa, “Suna miƙa hadayar mutum su kuma sumbaci gumakan maruƙa.”
3 Therefore they will be like the morning mist, like the early dew that vanishes, like chaff blown from a threshing floor, like smoke through an open window.
Saboda haka za su zama kamar hazon safiya, kamar raɓar safen da yakan kakkaɓe, kamar ƙaiƙayin da ake tankaɗe daga masussuka, kamar hayaƙin da yake fita daga taga.
4 Yet I am the LORD your God ever since the land of Egypt; you know no God but Me, for there is no Savior besides Me.
“Amma ni ne Ubangiji Allahnku, wanda ya fitar da ku daga Masar. Ba za ku yarda da wani Allah ba sai ni, ba wani Mai Ceto in ban da ni.
5 I knew you in the wilderness, in the land of drought.
Na lura da ku a hamada, cikin ƙasar mai ƙunar zafi.
6 When they had pasture, they became satisfied; when they were satisfied, their hearts became proud, and as a result they forgot Me.
Sa’ad da na ciyar da su sun ƙoshi; sa’ad da suka ƙoshi, sai suka fara taƙama; sai suka manta da ni.
7 So like a lion I will pounce on them; like a leopard I will lurk by the path.
Saboda haka zan hau kansu kamar zaki, zan ɓuya a bakin hanya kamar damisa.
8 Like a bear robbed of her cubs I will attack them, and I will tear open their chests. There I will devour them like a lion, like a wild beast would tear them apart.
Kamar beyar da aka ƙwace mata’ya’yanta, zan fāɗa musu in ɓarke su. Kamar zaki zan cinye su; kamar naman jeji zan yayyage su.
9 You are destroyed, O Israel, because you are against Me— against your helper.
“An hallaka ku, ya Isra’ila, domin kun tayar mini, kun tayar wa mai taimakonku.
10 Where is your king now to save you in all your cities, and the rulers to whom you said, “Give me a king and princes”?
Ina sarkinku, da zai cece ku? Ina masu mulkinku cikin dukan garuruwanku, waɗanda kuka ce, ‘Ba mu sarki da shugabanni’?
11 So in My anger I gave you a king, and in My wrath I took him away.
Saboda haka cikin fushina na ba ku sarki, kuma cikin hasalata na ɗauke shi.
12 The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is stored up.
An yi ajiyar laifin Efraim, aka lissafta zunubansa.
13 Labor pains come upon him, but he is an unwise son. When the time arrives, he fails to present himself at the opening of the womb.
Naƙuda ta zo masa kamar a mace mai haihuwa, amma shi yaro ne marar hikima; sa’ad da lokaci ya kai, ba ya zuwa inda mahaifa ta buɗe.
14 I will ransom them from the power of Sheol; I will redeem them from Death. Where, O Death, are your plagues? Where, O Sheol, is your sting? Compassion is hidden from My eyes. (Sheol h7585)
“Zan fanshe su daga ikon kabari; zan cece su daga mutuwa. Ina annobanki, ya mutuwa? Ina hallakarka, ya kabari? “Ba zan ji tausayi ba, (Sheol h7585)
15 Although he flourishes among his brothers, an east wind will come— a wind from the LORD rising up from the desert. His fountain will fail, and his spring will run dry. The wind will plunder his treasury of every precious article.
ko da ma ya ci gaba cikin’yan’uwansa. Iskar gabas daga Ubangiji za tă zo, tana hurawa daga hamada; maɓulɓularsa za tă kafe rijiyarsa kuma ta bushe. Za a kwashi kaya masu daraja na ɗakin ajiyarsa ganima.
16 Samaria will bear her guilt because she has rebelled against her God. They will fall by the sword; their little ones will be dashed to pieces, and their pregnant women ripped open.
Dole mutanen Samariya su ɗauki laifinsu, domin sun tayar wa Allahnsu. Za a kashe su da takobi; za a fyaɗa ƙananansu da ƙasa, za a ɓarke matansu masu ciki.”
