Hosea 14
1 Return, O Israel, to Jehovah thy God; For thou hast fallen by thine iniquity.
Ku dawo, ya Isra’ila, ga Ubangiji Allahnku. Zunubanku ne sun zama sanadin fāɗuwarku!
2 Take with you words, And return to Jehovah, saying, “Forgive all our iniquity, and receive us graciously, And we will render to thee the sacrifices 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 Assyria shall not help us; We will not ride on horses; And no more will we say to the work of our hands, Ye are our Gods! For from thee the fatherless obtaineth 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 rebellion; I will love them freely; For my anger is turned away from them.
“Zan gyara ɓatancinsu in kuma ƙaunace su a sake, gama fushina ya juya daga gare su.
5 I will be as the dew to Israel; He shall blossom as the lily, And strike his roots like 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 sprouts shall spread forth, 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 revive as the corn; They shall shoot forth as the vine; Their name shall be like 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 more to do with idols? I will hear him; I will care for him; I will be like a green cypress-tree; From me shall thy fruit be 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 Who is wise, that he may understand these things, Prudent, that he may know them? For the ways of Jehovah are right, And the righteous walk in them; But in them transgressors stumble.
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.
