Hosea 5
1 Hear ye this, O ye priests, And hearken, O house of Israel, And give ear, O house of the king! For judgment is coming upon you, Because ye have been a snare at Mizpah, And an outspread net upon Tabor.
“Ku ji wannan, ku firistoci! Ku kasa kunne, ku Isra’ilawa! Ku saurara, ya ku gidan sarauta! Wannan hukunci yana a kanku, kun zama tarko a Mizfa, ragar da aka shimfiɗa a kan Tabor.
2 By their sacrifices they commit deep transgression, And I will bring chastisement upon them all.
’Yan tawaye sun yi zurfi cikin kisan gilla. Zan hore su duka.
3 I know Ephraim, And Israel is not hidden from me; For thou committest fornication, O Ephraim, And Israel is defiled.
Na san Efraim ƙaf; Isra’ila ba a ɓoye take a gare ni ba. Efraim, yanzu ka juya ka shiga karuwanci; Isra’ila ta lalace.
4 They will not frame their doings To return to their God; For a spirit of fornication is within them, And they have no regard to Jehovah.
“Ayyukansu ba su ba su dama su koma ga Allahnsu ba. Halin karuwanci yana cikin zuciyarsu; ba su yarda da Ubangiji ba.
5 The pride of Israel testifieth to his face; Therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity; Judah also shall fall with them.
Girmankan Isra’ila yana ba da shaida a kansu; Isra’ilawa, har ma Efraim, sun yi tuntuɓe a cikin zunubinsu; Yahuda ma ya yi tuntuɓe tare da su.
6 With their flocks and with their herds shall they go to seek Jehovah, And shall not find him; He hath withdrawn himself from them.
Sa’ad da suka tafi tare da garkunan shanu, tumaki da awakinsu don su nemi Ubangiji, ba za su same shi ba; ya janye kansa daga gare su.
7 They have been false to Jehovah, For they have begotten strange children; Now shall the new moon consume them with their possessions.
Su marasa aminci ne ga Ubangiji; suna haihuwar shegu. Yanzu bukukkuwar Sabon Watansu za su cinye su da gonakinsu.
8 Blow ye the trumpet in Gibeah, And the cornet in Ramah; Cry aloud at Bethaven! Look behind thee, O Benjamin!
“Amon kakaki a Gibeya, ƙaho a Rama. Ku yi kirarin yaƙi a Bet-Awen; ku ja gaba, ya Benyamin.
9 Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke; Among the tribes of Israel do I make known what is sure.
Efraim za tă zama kango a ranar hukunci. A cikin kabilan Isra’ila na yi shelar abin da yake tabbatacce.
10 The princes of Judah are like them that remove the land mark; I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.
Shugabannin Yahuda suna kamar waɗanda suke matsar da duwatsun shaidar da aka sa a kan iyaka ne. Zan zubo musu da fushina a kansu kamar rigyawar ruwa.
11 Ephraim is oppressed; he is crushed with punishment, Because he willingly walked after the decree.
An danne Efraim, an murƙushe ta a shari’a ta ƙudura ga bin gumaka.
12 I am as a moth to Ephraim, And as rottenness to the house of Judah.
Na zama kamar asu ga Efraim, kamar ruɓa ga mutanen Yahuda.
13 When Ephraim saw his sickness, And Judah his wound, Then went Ephraim to the Assyrian, And Judah sent to the hostile king; But he will not be able to heal you, Nor will he cure you of your wound.
“Sa’ad da Efraim ya ga ciwonsa, Yahuda kuwa miyakunta, sai Efraim ya juya ga Assuriya, ya aika wurin babban sarki don neman taimako. Amma bai iya warkar da kai ba, bai iya warkar da miyakunka ba.
14 For I will be as a lion to Ephraim, And as a young lion to the house of Judah. I, even I, will tear, and will depart; I will take away, and none shall rescue.
Gama zan zama kamar zaki ga Efraim, kamar babban zaki ga Yahuda. Zan yage su kucu-kucu in tafi; zan kwashe su, ba wanda zai kuɓutar da su.
15 I will go back to my place, Till they have suffered for their sin, and seek my face! In their affliction they will seek me early.
Sa’an nan zan koma wurina sai sun yarda da laifinsu. Za su kuma nemi fuskata; cikin azabansu za su nace da nemana.”
