Hosea 8
1 "Put the trumpet to your lips. Something like an eagle is over the LORD's house, because they have broken my covenant, and rebelled against my law.
“Ka sa kakaki a leɓunanka! Gaggafa tana a bisan gidan Ubangiji domin mutane sun tā da alkawarina suka kuma tayar wa dokata.
2 They cry to me, 'My God, we Israel acknowledge you.'
Isra’ila ta yi mini kuka, ‘Ya Allahnmu, mun yarda da kai!’
3 Israel has cast off that which is good. The enemy will pursue him.
Amma Isra’ila sun ƙi abin da yake mai kyau; abokin gāba zai fafare su.
4 They have set up kings, but not by me. They have made princes, and I did not approve. Of their silver and their gold they have made themselves idols, that they may be 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 Let Samaria throw out his calf idol. My anger burns against them. How long will it be until they are capable of purity?
Ku zubar da gunkin maraƙinku, ya Samariya! Fushina yana ƙuna a kansu. Sai yaushe za su rabu da gumaka?
6 For this is even from Israel. The workman made it, and it is no God; indeed, the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.
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 they sow the wind, and they will reap the whirlwind. He has no standing grain. The stalk will yield no head. If it does yield, strangers will 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 is swallowed up. Now they are among the nations like a worthless thing.
An haɗiye Isra’ila; yanzu tana cikin al’ummai kamar abin da ba shi da amfani.
9 For they have gone up to Assyria, like a wild donkey wandering alone. Ephraim has hired lovers for himself.
Gama sun haura zuwa Assuriya kamar jakin jejin da yake yawo shi kaɗai. Efraim ya sayar da kansa ga maza.
10 But although they sold themselves among the nations, I will now gather them; and they begin to waste away because of the oppression of the king of mighty ones.
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 has multiplied altars for sinning, they became for him altars for sinning.
“Ko da yake Efraim ya gina bagadai masu yawa don hadayun zunubi, waɗannan sun zama bagade don yin zunubi.
12 I wrote for him the many things of my law; but they were regarded as a strange thing.
Na rubuta musu abubuwa masu yawa na dokata, amma suka ɗauke su tamƙar wani baƙon abu ne.
13 As for the sacrifices of my offerings, they sacrifice flesh and eat it; But the LORD doesn't accept them. Now he will remember their iniquity, and punish their sins. They will return to Egypt, and will eat unclean things in Assyria.
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 For Israel has forgotten his Maker and built palaces; and Judah has multiplied fortified cities; but I will send a fire on his cities, and it will devour its fortresses."
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.”
