Hosea 8
1 Put the ram’s horn to your lips! An eagle looms over the house of the LORD, because the people have transgressed My covenant and rebelled against My law.
“Ka sa kakaki a leɓunanka! Gaggafa tana a bisan gidan Ubangiji domin mutane sun tā da alkawarina suka kuma tayar wa dokata.
2 Israel cries out to Me, “O our God, we know You!”
Isra’ila ta yi mini kuka, ‘Ya Allahnmu, mun yarda da kai!’
3 But Israel has rejected good; an enemy will pursue him.
Amma Isra’ila sun ƙi abin da yake mai kyau; abokin gāba zai fafare su.
4 They set up kings, but not by Me. They make princes, but without My approval. With their silver and gold they make themselves idols, to their own destruction.
Suna naɗa sarakuna, ba da izinina ba; sun zaɓa shugabanni ba da yardanta ba. Da azurfa da zinariya sun ƙera gumaka wa kansu wanda zai kai zuwa ga hallakarsu.
5 He has rejected your calf, O Samaria. My anger burns against them. How long will they be incapable of innocence?
Ku zubar da gunkin maraƙinku, ya Samariya! Fushina yana ƙuna a kansu. Sai yaushe za su rabu da gumaka?
6 For this thing is from Israel— a craftsman made it, and it is not God. It will be broken to pieces, that calf of Samaria.
Su daga Isra’ila ne! Wannan maraƙi, mai aikin hannu ne ya yi shi; gunki ne ba Allah ba. Za a farfashe shi kucu-kucu, waccan maraƙin Samariya.
7 For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind. There is no standing grain; what sprouts fails to yield flour. Even if it should produce, the foreigners would swallow it up.
“Gama sun shuka iska don haka za su girbe guguwa. Hatsin da yake tsaye ba shi da kai, ba zai yi tsaba ba. Ko da ya yi tsaba ma, baƙi ne za su ci.
8 Israel is swallowed up! Now they are among the nations like a worthless vessel.
An haɗiye Isra’ila; yanzu tana cikin al’ummai kamar abin da ba shi da amfani.
9 For they have gone up to Assyria like a wild donkey on its own. Ephraim has hired lovers.
Gama sun haura zuwa Assuriya kamar jakin jejin da yake yawo shi kaɗai. Efraim ya sayar da kansa ga maza.
10 Though they hire allies among the nations, I will now round them up, and they will begin to diminish under the oppression of the king of princes.
Ko da yake sun sayar da kansu a cikin al’ummai, yanzu zan tattara su wuri ɗaya. Za su fara lalacewa a ƙarƙashi danniyar babban sarki.
11 Though Ephraim multiplied the altars for sin, they became his altars for sinning.
“Ko da yake Efraim ya gina bagadai masu yawa don hadayun zunubi, waɗannan sun zama bagade don yin zunubi.
12 Though I wrote for them the great things of My law, they regarded them as something strange.
Na rubuta musu abubuwa masu yawa na dokata, amma suka ɗauke su tamƙar wani baƙon abu ne.
13 Though they offer sacrifices as gifts to Me, and though they eat the meat, the LORD does not accept them. Now He will remember their iniquity and punish their sins: They will return to Egypt.
Suna miƙa hadayun da aka ba ni su kuma ci nama, amma Ubangiji ba ya jin daɗinsu. Yanzu zai tuna da muguntarsu yă kuma hukunta zunubansu. Za su koma Masar.
14 Israel has forgotten his Maker and built palaces; Judah has multiplied its fortified cities. But I will send fire upon their cities, and it will consume their citadels.
Isra’ila ya manta da Mahaliccinsa ya kuma gina fadodi; Yahuda ya gina katanga a yawancin garuruwansa. Amma zan aiko da wuta a bisa biranensu da zai cinye kagaransu.”
