Hosea 8
1 “To your mouth—a horn, As an eagle against the house of YHWH, Because they transgressed My covenant, And against My law they have rebelled.
“Ka sa kakaki a leɓunanka! Gaggafa tana a bisan gidan Ubangiji domin mutane sun tā da alkawarina suka kuma tayar wa dokata.
2 To Me they cry, My God, we—Israel—have known You.
Isra’ila ta yi mini kuka, ‘Ya Allahnmu, mun yarda da kai!’
3 Israel has cast off good, an enemy pursues him.
Amma Isra’ila sun ƙi abin da yake mai kyau; abokin gāba zai fafare su.
4 They have made kings, and not by Me, They have made princes, and I have not known, Their silver and their gold they have made to them idols, So that they are cut off.
Suna naɗa sarakuna, ba da izinina ba; sun zaɓa shugabanni ba da yardanta ba. Da azurfa da zinariya sun ƙera gumaka wa kansu wanda zai kai zuwa ga hallakarsu.
5 Your calf has cast off, O Samaria, My anger has burned against them; Until when are they not capable of purity?
Ku zubar da gunkin maraƙinku, ya Samariya! Fushina yana ƙuna a kansu. Sai yaushe za su rabu da gumaka?
6 For even it [is] of Israel; a craftsman made it, And it [is] not God, For the calf of Samaria is fragments!
Su daga Isra’ila ne! Wannan maraƙi, mai aikin hannu ne ya yi shi; gunki ne ba Allah ba. Za a farfashe shi kucu-kucu, waccan maraƙin Samariya.
7 For wind they sow, and a windstorm they reap, Stalk it has none—a shoot not yielding grain, If so be it yield—strangers swallow it up.
“Gama sun shuka iska don haka za su girbe guguwa. Hatsin da yake tsaye ba shi da kai, ba zai yi tsaba ba. Ko da ya yi tsaba ma, baƙi ne za su ci.
8 Israel has been swallowed up, Now they have been among nations, As a vessel in which is no delight.
An haɗiye Isra’ila; yanzu tana cikin al’ummai kamar abin da ba shi da amfani.
9 For they have gone up [to] Asshur, A wild donkey alone by himself [is] Ephraim, They have hired lovers!
Gama sun haura zuwa Assuriya kamar jakin jejin da yake yawo shi kaɗai. Efraim ya sayar da kansa ga maza.
10 Also though they hire among nations, Now I gather them, and they are pained a little, From the burden of a king of princes.
Ko da yake sun sayar da kansu a cikin al’ummai, yanzu zan tattara su wuri ɗaya. Za su fara lalacewa a ƙarƙashi danniyar babban sarki.
11 Because Ephraim multiplied altars to sin, They have been to him altars to sin.
“Ko da yake Efraim ya gina bagadai masu yawa don hadayun zunubi, waɗannan sun zama bagade don yin zunubi.
12 I write for him numerous things of My law, As a strange thing they have been reckoned.
Na rubuta musu abubuwa masu yawa na dokata, amma suka ɗauke su tamƙar wani baƙon abu ne.
13 The sacrifices of My offerings! They sacrifice flesh, and they eat, YHWH has not accepted them, Now He remembers their iniquity, And inspects their sin, They return [to] Egypt.
Suna miƙa hadayun da aka ba ni su kuma ci nama, amma Ubangiji ba ya jin daɗinsu. Yanzu zai tuna da muguntarsu yă kuma hukunta zunubansu. Za su koma Masar.
14 And Israel forgets his Maker, and builds temples, And Judah has multiplied cities of defense, And I have sent a fire into his cities, And it has consumed their palaces!”
Isra’ila ya manta da Mahaliccinsa ya kuma gina fadodi; Yahuda ya gina katanga a yawancin garuruwansa. Amma zan aiko da wuta a bisa biranensu da zai cinye kagaransu.”
