< Hosea 2 >
1 Say ye unto your brethren, O Ammi ["O my people"], and unto your sisters, O Ruhamah ["O compassionated one"]:
“Ka ce da’yan’uwanka maza, ‘Mutanena,’ ka kuma ce da’yan’uwanka mata, ‘Ƙaunatacciyata.’
2 Contend ye with your mother, contend, for she is no wife of mine, and I am no husband of hers, Let her then put away her paramours from before her, and her partners in adultery, from her embraces:
“Ka tsawata wa mahaifiyarka, ka tsawata mata, gama ita ba matata ba ce, ni kuma ba mijinta ba ne. Ku roƙe ta tă daina karuwancinta da kuma rashin aminci a tsakanin nononta.
3 Lest I strip off her under-clothing, and set her forth to view, as in the day she was born, —and make her like a wilderness, and render her like a land that is parched, and suffer her to die of thirst;
In ba haka ba zai tuɓe ta tsirara in bar ta kamar yadda take a ranar da aka haife ta; zan sa ta zama kamar hamada, in mayar da ita busasshiyar ƙasar, in kashe ta da ƙishirwa.
4 And, on her children, not have compassion, —because, the children of paramours, they are.
Ba zan nuna wa’ya’yanta ƙaunata ba, domin su’ya’yan zina ne.
5 For their mother, hath been unchaste, and she that conceived them, hath caused shame, —for she said, Let me go after my lovers! who used to give my bread, and my water, my wool, and my flax, mine oil, and my drink.
Mahaifiyarsu ta yi rashin aminci ta kuma ɗauki cikinsu ta wurin yi abin kunya. Ta ce, ‘Zan bi kwartayena, waɗanda suke ba ni abinci da ruwa, ulu nawa da lilina, mai nawa da kuma abin sha na.’
6 Therefore, behold me! hedging up her way, with thorns, —and I will wall her in, and, her footpaths, shall she not find.
Saboda haka zai tare hanyarta da ƙaya; zan yi mata katanga don kada tă sami hanya.
7 And, when she shall pursue her lovers, and not overtake them, and shall seek them and not find, then will she say, Let me go my way now! and return unto my first husband, for it was better with me, then, than, now!
Za tă bi kwartayenta amma ba za tă kama su ba; za tă neme su amma ba za tă same su ba. Sa’an nan za tă ce, ‘Zan koma ga mijina na fari, gama dā ya fi mini yadda nake a yanzu.’
8 But, she, owneth not, that, I, gave her—the corn, and the new wine and the oil, —silver, also increased I unto her, and gold—[which] they offered to Baal!
Ba ta yarda cewa ni ne wanda ya ba ta hatsi, sabon ruwan inabi da mai ba, wanda ya jibge mata azurfa da zinariya, waɗanda suka yi amfani wa Ba’al ba.
9 Therefore, will I again take away my corn, in the time thereof, and my new wine, in the season thereof, —and will recover my wool and my flax [given] to hide her shame.
“Saboda haka zan ƙwace hatsina sa’ad da ya nuna, da sabon ruwan inabina sa’ad da ya ƙosa. Zan karɓe ulu nawa da lilina, da take niyya ta rufe tsiraicinta.
10 Now, therefore, will I expose her unseemliness, before the eyes of her lovers, —and no, man, shall deliver her out of my hand!
Saboda haka yanzu zan buɗe tsiraicinta a idanun kwartayenta; ba wani da zai ƙwace ta daga hannuwana.
11 And I will cause to cease all her mirth, her pilgrim-festival, her new moon and her sabbath, —and her every appointed meeting;
Zan tsayar da dukan bukukkuwarta, bukukkuwarta na shekara-shekara, da kuma kiyaye bikin Sababbin Wata nata, kwanakin Asabbacinta, dukan ƙayyadaddun bukukkuwarta.
12 And will lay waste her vine and her fig- tree, as to which she hath said, A present, are they for myself, which my lovers, have given me, —and I will make of them a thicket, and the wild beasts of the field shall devour them.
Zan lalatar da inabinta da kuma itatuwan ɓaurenta, waɗanda take cewa su ne abin da kwartayenta suka biya; zan mayar da su kurmi, namun jeji kuwa za su ci su.
13 So will I visit upon her the days of the Baals, unto whom she used to burn incense, and decked herself with her nose-ring and her jewelry, and went her way after her lovers, —whereas, me, she forgat, Declareth Yahweh.
Zan hukunta ta saboda kwanakin da ta ƙone turare wa Ba’al; ta yi wa kanta ado da zobai da duwatsu masu daraja, ta bi kwartayenta, amma ta manta da ni,” in ji Ubangiji.
14 Therefore, lo! I, am going to persuade her, and, though I conduct her forth into wilderness, yet will I speak unto her heart.
“Saboda haka yanzu zan rarrashe ta; zan bishe ta zuwa hamada in kuma yi mata magana a hankali.
15 Then will I give to her her vineyards from thence, and the vale of Achor ["trouble"] for a door of hope, —and she will respond there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
A can zan mayar mata da gonakin inabinta, zan kuma sa Kwarin Akor yă zama ƙofar bege. A can za tă rera kamar a kwanakin ƙuruciyarta, kamar a lokacin da ta fita daga Masar.
16 And it shall come to pass, in that day, Declareth Yahweh, that she will call me Ishi ["My husband"], and will not call me any more, Baali ["Mine owner"].
“A waccan rana,” in ji Ubangiji, “za ki ce da ni ‘mijina’; ba za ki ƙara ce ni ‘maigidana’ ba.
17 So will I take away the names of the Baals, out of her mouth, —and they shall not be called to mind any more, by their name.
Zan cire sunayen Ba’al daga leɓunanta; ba za a ƙara kira sunayensu ba.
18 And I will solemnize to them a covenant, in that day, with the wild-beast of the field, and with the bird of the heavens, and the creeping thing of the ground, —and, bow and sword and battle, will I break in pieces out of the land, so will I cause them to lie down, in security.
A waccan rana zan yi alkawari dominsu da namun jeji da kuma tsuntsayen sararin sama da dukan halittu masu rarrafe a ƙasa. Baka da takobi da yaƙi zan sa su ƙare a ƙasar, domin duk su zauna lafiya.
19 And I will take thee unto myself, unto times age-abiding, —yea I will take thee unto myself, in righteousness and in justice, and in lovingkindness, and in abounding compassion:
Zan ɗaura aure da ke har abada; zan ɗaura aure da yake cikin adalci da gaskiya, cikin ƙauna da jinƙai.
20 Yea I will take thee unto myself, in faithfulness, —So shalt thou know Yahweh.
Zan ɗaura aure da yake cikin aminci za ki kuwa yarda cewa ni ne Ubangiji.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will respond, Declareth Yahweh, I will respond to the heavens, —and, they, shall respond to the earth;
“A waccan rana zan amsa,” in ji Ubangiji, “zan amsa wa sararin sama, za su kuwa amsa wa ƙasa;
22 And, the earth, shall respond to the corn, and to the new wine and to the oil, —and, they, shall respond to Jezreel ["Whom GOD scattereth," "Whom GOD soweth"].
ƙasa kuma za tă amsa wa hatsi, sabon ruwan inabi da kuma mai, su kuma za su amsa wa Yezireyel.
23 So will I sow her unto me in the land, and will have compassion upon the uncompassionated one ["Lo-ruhamah"], —and will say to him who was No-people-of-mine ["Lo-ammi"], My people, thou art, and, he, shall say, My God!
Zan dasa ta wa kaina a ƙasar; zan shuka ƙaunata ga wanda na ce ‘Ba ƙaunatacciyata ba.’ Zan faɗa wa waɗanda a ce ‘Ba mutanena ba,’ ‘Ku mutanena ne’; za su kuwa ce, ‘Kai ne Allahna.’”
