< Hosea 6 >

1 Come, let us go back to the Lord; for he has given us wounds and he will make us well; he has given blows and he will give help.
“Ku zo, mu koma ga Ubangiji. Ya yayyage mu kucu-kucu amma zai warkar da mu; ya ji mana ciwo amma zai daure mana miyakunmu.
2 After two days he will give us life, and on the third day he will make us get up, and we will be living before him.
Bayan kwana biyu zai rayar da mu, a rana ta uku zai tashe mu, don mu rayu a gabansa.
3 And let us have knowledge, let us go after the knowledge of the Lord; his going out is certain as the dawn, his decisions go out like the light; he will come to us like the rain, like the spring rain watering the earth.
Bari mu yarda da Ubangiji; bari mu nace gaba don mu yarda da shi. Muddin rana tana fitowa, zai bayyana; zai zo mana kamar ruwan bazara, kamar ruwan saman farko da yake jiƙe ƙasa.”
4 O Ephraim, what am I to do to you? O Judah, what am I to do to you? For your love is like a morning cloud, and like the dew which goes early away.
“Me zan yi da kai Efraim? Me zan yi da kai Yahuda? Ƙaunarku tana kamar hazon safiya, kamar raɓar safiya da takan ɓace.
5 So I have had it cut in stones; I gave them teaching by the words of my mouth;
Saboda haka na yayyaga ku kucu-kucu tare da annabawana, na kashe ku da kalmomin bakina; hukuntaina sun haskaka kamar walƙiya a kanku.
6 Because my desire is for mercy and not offerings; for the knowledge of God more than for burned offerings.
Gama jinƙai nake bukata, ba hadaya ba, ku kuma san Allah a maimakon hadayun ƙonawa.
7 But like a man, they have gone against the agreement; there they were false to me.
Kamar Adamu, sun tā da alkawari, sun yi mini rashin aminci a can.
8 Gilead is a town of evil-doers, marked with blood.
Gileyad birni ce ta mugayen mutane, da tabon alamun jini.
9 And like a band of thieves waiting for a man, so are the priests watching secretly the way of those going quickly to Shechem, for they are working with an evil design.
Kamar yadda mafasa sukan yi fakon mutum, haka ƙungiyoyin firistoci suke; suna kisa a hanya zuwa Shekem, suna aikata laifofi bankunya.
10 In Israel I have seen a very evil thing; there false ways are seen in Ephraim, Israel is unclean;
Na ga wani abu mai bantsoro a gidan Isra’ila. A can Efraim ya miƙa wuya ga karuwanci Isra’ila kuma ta ƙazantu.
11 And Judah has put up disgusting images for himself.
“Ku kuma, ya mutanen Yahuda, na shirya muku ranar girbi. “A duk sa’ad da zan mayar da dukiya wa mutanena,
