Hosea 11
1 “Because Israel [is] a youth, and I love him, Out of Egypt I have called for My Son.
“Sa’ad da Isra’ila yake yaro, na ƙaunace shi, daga Masar kuma na kira ɗana.
2 They have called to them correctly, They have gone from before them, They sacrifice to lords, And make incense to carved images.
Amma yawan kiran da na yi wa Isra’ila haka nesa da ni da suke ta yi. Suka miƙa hadaya ga Ba’al suka kuma ƙona turare ga siffofi.
3 And I have caused Ephraim to go on foot, Taking them by their arms, And they have not known that I strengthened them.
Ni ne na koya wa Efraim tafiya ina kama su da hannu; amma ba su gane cewa ni ne na warkar da su ba.
4 I draw them with cords of man, With thick cords of love, And I am to them as a raiser up of a yoke on their jaws, And I incline to him—I feed [him].
Na bishe su da linzamin alheri da tausayi, da ragamar ƙauna; Na cire karkiya daga wuyansu na kuma rusuna na ciyar da su.
5 He does not return to the land of Egypt, And Asshur—he [is] his king, For they have refused to return.
“Ba za su koma Masar ba Assuriya kuma ba za tă yi mulki a bisansu ba saboda sun ƙi su tuba ba?
6 The sword has been grievous in his cities, And it has ended his bars, and consumed—from their own counsels.
Takuba za su yi ta wulgawa a biranensu, za su hallaka sandunan ƙarafan ƙofofinsu su kuma kawo ƙarshen ƙulle-ƙullensu.
7 And My people are hanging in suspense about My returning, And to the Most High they call, Together they do not exalt.
Mutanena sun ƙudura su juye daga gare ni. Ko da ma suka yi kira ga Mafi Ɗaukaka, ta ko ƙaƙa ba zai girmama su ba.
8 How do I give you up, O Ephraim? Do I deliver you up, O Israel? How do I make you as Admah? Do I set you as Zeboim? My heart is turned in Me, My sympathy has been kindled together.
“Yaya zan ba da kai, Efraim? Yaya zan miƙa ka, Isra’ila? Yaya zan yi da kai kamar Adma? Yaya zan yi da kai kamar Zeboyim? Zuciyata ta canja a cikina; dukan tausayina ya huru.
9 I do not do the fierceness of My anger, I do not turn back to destroy Ephraim, For I [am] God, and not a man—The Holy One in your midst, and I do not enter in enmity.
Ba zan zartar da fushina mai zafi ba, ba kuwa zan juya in ragargaza Efraim ba. Gama ni Allah ne, ba mutum ba, Mai Tsarki a cikinku. Ba zan zo cikin fushi ba.
10 They go after YHWH—He roars as a lion, When He roars, then the sons from the west tremble.
Za su bi Ubangiji; zai yi ruri kamar zaki. Sa’ad da ya yi ruri,’ya’yansa za su zo da rawan jiki daga yamma.
11 They tremble as a sparrow out of Egypt, And as a dove out of the land of Asshur, And I have caused them to dwell in their own houses,” A declaration of YHWH.
Za su zo da rawan jiki kamar tsuntsaye daga Masar, kamar kurciyoyi daga Assuriya. Zan zaunar da su a cikin gidajensu,” in ji Ubangiji.
12 “Ephraim has surrounded Me with feigning, And the house of Israel with deceit. And Judah is again ruling with God, And [is] faithful with the Holy Ones!”
Mutanen Efraim sun kewaye ni da ƙarairayi, gidan Isra’ila da ruɗu. Mutanen Yahuda kuma suna yi wa Allah ƙin ji, har ma a kan Mai Tsarkin nan mai aminci.
