< Hosea 6 >

1 Come, and let us return to the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.
“Ku zo, mu koma ga Ubangiji. Ya yayyage mu kucu-kucu amma zai warkar da mu; ya ji mana ciwo amma zai daure mana miyakunmu.
2 After two days will he revive us: in the third day will he raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.
Bayan kwana biyu zai rayar da mu, a rana ta uku zai tashe mu, don mu rayu a gabansa.
3 Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come to us as the rain, as the latter and former rain to the earth.
Bari mu yarda da Ubangiji; bari mu nace gaba don mu yarda da shi. Muddin rana tana fitowa, zai bayyana; zai zo mana kamar ruwan bazara, kamar ruwan saman farko da yake jiƙe ƙasa.”

5 Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments are as the light that goeth forth.
Saboda haka na yayyaga ku kucu-kucu tare da annabawana, na kashe ku da kalmomin bakina; hukuntaina sun haskaka kamar walƙiya a kanku.
6 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
Gama jinƙai nake bukata, ba hadaya ba, ku kuma san Allah a maimakon hadayun ƙonawa.
7 But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.
Kamar Adamu, sun tā da alkawari, sun yi mini rashin aminci a can.
8 Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity, and is polluted with blood.
Gileyad birni ce ta mugayen mutane, da tabon alamun jini.
9 And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way by consent: for they commit lewdness.
Kamar yadda mafasa sukan yi fakon mutum, haka ƙungiyoyin firistoci suke; suna kisa a hanya zuwa Shekem, suna aikata laifofi bankunya.
10 I have seen an horrible thing in the house of Israel: there is the harlotry of Ephraim, Israel is defiled.
Na ga wani abu mai bantsoro a gidan Isra’ila. A can Efraim ya miƙa wuya ga karuwanci Isra’ila kuma ta ƙazantu.
11 Also, O Judah, he hath set an harvest for thee, when I returned the captivity of my people.
“Ku kuma, ya mutanen Yahuda, na shirya muku ranar girbi. “A duk sa’ad da zan mayar da dukiya wa mutanena,
