< Hosea 10 >
1 Israel is like a spreading vine that produces fruit for itself. The more fruit they produced, the more altars they built. The more productive the land, the more beautiful they made the sacred pillars.
Isra’ila kuringa ce mai yaɗuwa; ya fitar da’ya’ya wa kansa. Yayinda’ya’yan suka ƙaru, ya gina ƙarin bagadai; da ƙasarsa ta wadata, ya yi wa keɓaɓɓun duwatsu ado.
2 The people have minds that are deceptive, and now they must take responsibility for their guilt. The Lord will break apart their altars and destroy their sacred pillars.
Zuciyarsu masu ruɗu ne, yanzu kuwa dole su ɗauki laifinsu. Ubangiji zai rushe bagadansu yă kuma hallaka keɓaɓɓun duwatsunsu.
3 Then they will say, “We have no king, for we do not fear the Lord, and yet what would a king do for us?”
Sa’an nan za su ce, “Ba mu da sarki domin ba mu girmama Ubangiji ba. Amma ko da ma muna da sarki, me zai yi mana?”
4 They speak empty words, swearing false promises to make a covenant. Their “justice” flourishes like poisonous weeds in the furrows of a field.
Sun yi alkawura masu yawa, suka yi rantsuwar ƙarya da kuma yarjejjeniyoyi; saboda haka ƙararraki suka taso kamar ciyayi masu dafi da aka nome a gona.
5 Those who live in Samaria tremble in awe at the calf of Beth-aven. Its people mourn for it in their pagan rituals, while its idolatrous priests celebrate its glory. But it will certainly be taken away from them. It will be brought to Assyria as tribute for the great king.
Mutanen da suke zama a Samariya suna tsoro saboda gunki maraƙin Bet-Awen. Mutanensa za su yi makokinsa, haka ma firistocinsa matsafa, waɗanda suka yi farin ciki a kan darajarsa, don an ɗauke ta daga gare su aka kai ta zaman bauta.
6 Ephraim will be disgraced, and Israel will be ashamed at its own decisions.
Za a ɗauke shi a kai Assuriya kamar gandu wa babban sarki. Efraim zai sha kunya; Isra’ila zai sha kunya saboda gumakan itacensa.
7 Samaria and its king will be destroyed, swept away like a twig on the surface of the water.
Samariya da sarkinta za su ɓace kamar kumfa a bisa ruwaye.
8 The high places of Aven, where Israel sinned, will be demolished, and thorns and thistles will grow over their altars. Then they will call to the mountains, “Bury us!” and to the hills, “Fall on us!”
Za a hallaka masujadai kan tudu na mugunta zunubin Isra’ila ne. Ƙayayuwa da sarƙaƙƙiya za su yi girma su rufe bagadansu. Sa’an nan za su ce wa duwatsu, “Ku rufe mu!” Ga tuddai kuma, “Ku fāɗo a kanmu!”
9 Since the days of Gibeah you have been sinning, Israel, and you haven't changed. Do the people of Gibeah think that war will not come to them?
“Tun daga kwanakin Gibeya, kun yi zunubi, ya Isra’ila, a can kuwa kuka ci gaba. Yaƙi bai cimma masu aikata mugunta a Gibeya ba?
10 When I choose I will punish the wicked. The nations will be gathered together against them when they are punished for their double crime.
Sa’ad da na ga dama, zan hukunta su; al’ummai za su taru su yi gāba da su don su daure su saboda zunubansu da suka riɓanya.
11 Ephraim is like a trained heifer that loved to thresh the grain, but now I will place a yoke on her strong neck. I will harness Ephraim; Judah will have to pull the plough; and Jacob must break up the ground for himself.
Efraim horarriyar karsana ce mai son sussuka; saboda haka zan sa karkiya a kyakkyawan wuyanta. Zan bi da Efraim, Dole Yahuda yă yi noma, dole kuma Yaƙub yă ja garman noma.
12 Sow for yourselves what is right and you will reap unfailing love. Break up the unploughed ground. It's time to go to the Lord until he comes and rains down goodness on you.
Ku shuka wa kanku adalci, ku girbe’ya’yan jinƙai marar ƙarewa, ku kuma nome ƙasar da ba a nome ba; gama lokaci ne na neman Ubangiji, sai ya zo ya zubo adalci a kanku.
13 But instead you have planted wickedness and reaped an evil harvest. You have eaten the fruit of lies, because you trusted in your own strength and in your many warriors.
Amma kun shuka mugunta, kuka girbe mugu kuka ci’ya’yan ruɗu. Domin kun dogara da ƙarfinku da kuma a jarumawanku masu yawa,
14 The terrifying noise of battle will rise against your people, and all your fortresses will be destroyed, just as Shalman devastated Beth Arbel in the time of war. Even mothers and children were dashed to pieces.
hayaniyar yaƙi za tă tashi gāba da mutanenku, saboda a ragargaza kagaranku, kamar yadda Shalman ya ragargaza Bet-Arbel a ranar yaƙi, sa’ad da aka fyaɗa uwaye tare da’ya’yansu da ƙasa.
15 This is what will happen to you, Bethel, because of your great wickedness. At dawn, the king of Israel will be utterly destroyed.
Haka zai faru da kai, ya Betel, domin muguntarka ta yi yawa. Sa’ad da wannan rana ta zo, za a hallaka sarkin Isra’ila ƙaƙaf.
