Hosea 12
1 Ephraim feedeth on wind, and followeth after the east wind: he daily increaseth lies and desolation; and they do make a covenant with the Assyrians, and oil is carried into Egypt.
Efraim yana kiwo a kan iska; yana fafarar iskar gabas dukan yini yana riɓaɓɓanya ƙarairayi da rikici. Ya yi yarjejjeniya da Assuriya ya kuma aika wa Masar man zaitun.
2 The LORD hath also a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways; according to his doings will he recompense him.
Ubangiji yana da ƙarar da zai kawo a kan Yahuda; zai hukunta Yaƙub bisa ga hanyoyinsa zai sāka masa bisa ga ayyukansa.
3 He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and by his strength he had power with God:
A cikin mahaifa ya cafke ɗiɗɗigen ɗan’uwansa; a matsayin mutum ya yi kokawa da Allah.
4 Yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed: he wept, and made supplication unto him: he found him [in] Beth-el, and there he spake with us;
Ya yi kokawa da mala’ika ya kuma rinjaye shi; ya yi kuka ya kuma yi roƙo don tagomashi. Ya same shi a Betel ya kuma yi magana da shi a can,
5 Even the LORD God of hosts; the LORD [is] his memorial.
Ubangiji Allah Maɗaukaki, Ubangiji ne sunansa sananne!
6 Therefore turn thou to thy God: keep mercy and judgment, and wait on thy God continually.
Amma dole ku koma ga Allahnku; ku ci gaba da ƙauna da yin gaskiya, ku kuma saurari Allahnku kullum.
7 [He is] a merchant, the balances of deceit [are] in his hand: he loveth to oppress.
Ɗan kasuwa yana amfani da mudu marar gaskiya; yana jin daɗin cuta.
8 And Ephraim said, Yet I am become rich, I have found me out substance: [in] all my labours they shall find none iniquity in me that [were] sin.
Efraim yana fariya yana cewa, “Ni mai arziki ne ƙwarai; na azurta. Da dukan wadatata ba za a sami wani laifi ko zunubi a gare ni ba.”
9 And I [that am] the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt will yet make thee to dwell in tabernacles, as in the days of the solemn feast.
“Ni ne Ubangiji Allahnku, wanda ya fitar da ku daga Masar; zan sa ku sāke zauna a tentuna, kamar a kwanakin ƙayyadaddun bukukkuwanku.
10 I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets.
Na yi magana da annabawa, na ba su wahayi da yawa na kuma ba da misalai ta wurinsu.”
11 [Is there] iniquity [in] Gilead? surely they are vanity: they sacrifice bullocks in Gilgal; yea, their altars [are] as heaps in the furrows of the fields.
Gileyad mugu ne? Mutanensa mutanen banza ne! Suna miƙa bijimai a Gilgal? Bagadansu za su zama tsibin duwatsu. A gonar da aka nome.
12 And Jacob fled into the country of Syria, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept [sheep].
Yaƙub ya gudu zuwa ƙasar Aram; Isra’ila ya yi bauta don yă sami mata, domin kuma yă biya, sai da ya yi kiwon tumaki.
13 And by a prophet the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved.
Ubangiji ya yi amfani da annabi don yă fitar da Isra’ila daga Masar ta wurin annabi ya lura da shi.
14 Ephraim provoked [him] to anger most bitterly: therefore shall he leave his blood upon him, and his reproach shall his Lord return unto him.
Amma Efraim ya yi muguwar tsokana da ta sa ya yi fushi; shugabansa zai ɗora musu hakkin jini a kansa kuma zai sāka masa saboda wulaƙancinsa.
