Hosea 14
1 Return, O Israel, unto the LORD thy God; for thou hast stumbled in thine iniquity.
Ku dawo, ya Isra’ila, ga Ubangiji Allahnku. Zunubanku ne sun zama sanadin fāɗuwarku!
2 Take with you words, and return unto the LORD; say unto Him: 'Forgive all iniquity, and accept that which is good; so will we render for bullocks the offering of our lips.
Ku ɗauki magana tare da ku ku komo wurin Ubangiji. Ku ce masa, “Ka gafarta mana dukan zunubanmu ka kuma karɓe mu da alheri, don mu iya yabe ka da leɓunanmu.
3 Asshur shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses; neither will we call any more the work of our hands our gods; for in Thee the fatherless findeth mercy.'
Assuriya ba za su iya cece mu ba; ba za mu hau dawakan yaƙi ba. Ba za mu ƙara ce, ‘Allolinmu’ wa abin da hannuwanmu suka yi ba, gama a gare ka ne maraya yakan sami jinƙai.”
4 I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely; for Mine anger is turned away from him.
“Zan gyara ɓatancinsu in kuma ƙaunace su a sake, gama fushina ya juya daga gare su.
5 I will be as the dew unto Israel; he shall blossom as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.
Zan zama kamar raɓa ga Isra’ila zai yi fure kamar lili. Kamar al’ul na Lebanon zai sa saiwarsa zuwa ƙasa;
6 His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive-tree, and his fragrance as Lebanon.
tohonsa za su yi girma. Darajarsa za tă zama kamar itacen zaitun, ƙanshinsa kamar al’ul na Lebanon.
7 They that dwell under his shadow shall again make corn to grow, and shall blossom as the vine; the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon.
Mutane za su sāke zauna a inuwarsa. Zai haɓaka kamar ƙwayar hatsi. Zai yi fure kamar kuringa, zai zama sananne kamar ruwan inabi daga Lebanon.
8 Ephraim shall say: 'What have I to do any more with idols?' As for Me, I respond and look on him; I am like a leafy cypress-tree; from Me is thy fruit found.
Efraim zai ce, me kuma zai haɗa ni da gumaka? Zan amsa masa in kuma lura da shi. Ni kamar koren itacen fir ne; amincinka yana fitowa daga gare ni ne.”
9 Whoso is wise, let him understand these things, whoso is prudent, let him know them. For the ways of the LORD are right, and the just do walk in them; but transgressors do stumble therein.
Wane ne yake da hikima? Zai gane waɗannan abubuwa. Hanyoyin Ubangiji daidai ne; masu adalci sukan yi tafiya a kansu, amma’yan tawaye sukan yi tuntuɓe a kansu.
