< Hosea 9 >

1 Do not rejoice, Israel, with joy like the other peoples. For you have been unfaithful, forsaking your God. You love to pay the wages a prostitute requires on all the threshing floors.
Kada ku yi farin ciki, ya Isra’ila; kada ku yi murna kamar waɗansu al’ummai. Gama kun yi rashin aminci ga Allahnku; kuna son hakkokin karuwa a kowace masussuka.
2 But the threshing floor and the winepress will not feed them; the new wine will fail them.
Masussukai da wuraren matsin inabi ba za su ciyar da mutane ba; sabon ruwan inabi zai kāsa musu.
3 They will not continue to live in Yahweh's land; instead, Ephraim will return to Egypt, and one day they will eat unclean food in Assyria.
Ba za su ci gaba da zama a ƙasar Ubangiji ba; Efraim zai koma Masar yă kuma ci abinci marar tsarki a Assuriya.
4 They will pour out no wine offerings to Yahweh, neither will they be pleasing to him. Their sacrifices will be to them like mourners' food: all who eat it will be defiled. For their food will be for themselves only; it will not come into the house of Yahweh.
Ba za su zuba hadayun ruwan inabi ga Ubangiji ba, ba kuwa hadayunsu za su gamshe shi ba. Irin hadayun nan za su zama musu kamar burodin masu makoki; duk wanda ya ci su zai ƙazantu. Wannan abincin zai zama na kansu ne; ba zai zo cikin haikalin Ubangiji ba.
5 What will you do on the day of an appointed festival, on the day of a festival for Yahweh?
Me za ku yi a ƙayyadaddiyar ranar bukukkuwarku, a ranakun bikin Ubangiji?
6 For, look, if they escape from destruction, Egypt will gather them, and Memphis will bury them. As for their treasures of silver— sharp briers will possess them, and thorns will fill their tents.
Ko da sun kuɓuta daga hallaka, Masar za tă tattara su, Memfis kuma za tă binne su. Sarƙaƙƙiya za tă mamaye kayan azurfansu, ƙayayyuwa su tsiro a cikin tentunansu.
7 The days for punishment are coming; the days for retribution are coming. Let all Israel know these things. The prophet is a fool, and the inspired man is insane, because of your great iniquity and great hostility.
Kwanakin hukunci suna zuwa, kwanakin ba da lissafi suna a kusa. Bari Isra’ila su san da wannan. Saboda zunubanku sun yi yawa ƙiyayyarku kuma ta yi yawa, har ake ɗauka annabi wawa ne, mutumin da aka iza kuwa mahaukaci.
8 The prophet is the watchman for my God over Ephraim. But a bird snare is on all of his paths, and hostility toward him is in the house of his God.
Annabi, tare da Allahna, su ne masu tsaro a bisa Efraim, duk da haka tarko na jiransa a dukan hanyoyi, da kuma ƙiyayya a cikin gidan Allahnsa.
9 They have deeply corrupted themselves as in the days of Gibeah. God will call to mind their iniquity, and he will punish their sins.
Sun nutse da zurfi cikin lalaci, kamar a kwanakin Gibeya. Allah zai tuna da muguntarsu yă kuma hukunta su saboda zunubansu.
10 Yahweh says, “When I found Israel, it was like finding grapes in the wilderness. Like the very first fruit of the season on the fig tree, I found your fathers. But they went to Baal Peor, and they devoted themselves to that shameful idol. They became as detestable as the idol they loved.
“Sa’ad da na sami Isra’ila, ya zama kamar samun inabi a hamada; sa’ad da na ga kakanninku, ya zama kamar ganin’ya’yan itace na farko a itacen ɓaure. Amma sa’ad da suka zo Ba’al-Feyor, suka keɓe kansu wa gumaka bankunya sai suka zama abubuwan banƙyama kamar abubuwan da suke ƙauna.
11 As for Ephraim, their glory will fly away like a bird. There will be no birth, no pregnancy, and no conception.
Darajar Efraim za tă yi firiya tă tafi kamar tsuntsu, ba haihuwa, ba juna biyu, ba ɗaukar ciki.
12 Though they have brought up children, I will take them away so that none of them is left. Woe to them when I turn away from them!
Ko da sun yi renon’ya’ya, zan sa su yi baƙin cikin kowannensu. Kaitonsu sa’ad da na juya musu baya!
13 I have seen Ephraim, just like Tyre, planted in a meadow, but Ephraim will bring out his children to someone who will slaughter them.”
Na ga Efraim, kamar birnin Taya, da aka kafa a wuri mai daɗi. Amma Efraim zai fitar da’ya’yansu ga masu yanka.”
14 Give them, Yahweh—what will you give them? Give them a miscarrying womb and breasts that give no milk.
Ka ba su, ya Ubangiji Me za ka ba su? Ka ba su mahaifar da za su yi ɓarin ciki da busassun nono.
15 “Because of all their wickedness in Gilgal, that is where I began to hate them. Because of their sinful deeds, I will drive them out of my house. I will love them no more; all their officials are rebels.
“Saboda dukan muguntarsu a Gilgal, na ƙi su a can. Saboda ayyukansu na zunubi, zan kore su daga gidana. Ba zan ƙara ƙaunace su ba; dukan shugabanninsu’yan tawaye ne.
16 Ephraim is diseased, and their root is dried up; they bear no fruit. Even if they have children, I will put their beloved children to death.”
An ka da Efraim, saiwarsu ta bushe, ba sa ba da amfani. Ko da sun haifi’ya’ya zan kashe waɗanda suka fi ƙauna.”
17 My God will reject them because they have not obeyed him. They will become wanderers among the nations.
Allahna zai ƙi su saboda ba su yi masa biyayya ba; za su zama masu yawo a cikin al’ummai.
