Hosea 11
1 Because Israel [is] a youth, and I love him, Out of Egypt I have called for My Son.
“Sa’ad da Isra’ila yake yaro, na ƙaunace shi, daga Masar kuma na kira ɗana.
2 They have called to them rightly, They have gone from before them, To lords they do sacrifice, And to graven images they make perfume.
Amma yawan kiran da na yi wa Isra’ila haka nesa da ni da suke ta yi. Suka miƙa hadaya ga Ba’al suka kuma ƙona turare ga siffofi.
3 And I have caused Ephraim to go on foot, Taking them by their arms, And they have not known that I strengthened them.
Ni ne na koya wa Efraim tafiya ina kama su da hannu; amma ba su gane cewa ni ne na warkar da su ba.
4 With cords of man I do draw them, With thick cords of love, And I am to them as a raiser up of a yoke on their jaws, And I incline unto him — I feed [him].
Na bishe su da linzamin alheri da tausayi, da ragamar ƙauna; Na cire karkiya daga wuyansu na kuma rusuna na ciyar da su.
5 He turneth not back unto the land of Egypt, And Asshur — he [is] his king, For they have refused to return.
“Ba za su koma Masar ba Assuriya kuma ba za tă yi mulki a bisansu ba saboda sun ƙi su tuba ba?
6 Grievous hath been the sword in his cities, And it hath ended his bars, and consumed — from their own counsels.
Takuba za su yi ta wulgawa a biranensu, za su hallaka sandunan ƙarafan ƙofofinsu su kuma kawo ƙarshen ƙulle-ƙullensu.
7 And My people are hanging in suspense, about My returning, And unto the Most High they do call, Together they exalt not.
Mutanena sun ƙudura su juye daga gare ni. Ko da ma suka yi kira ga Mafi Ɗaukaka, ta ko ƙaƙa ba zai girmama su ba.
8 How do I give thee up, O Ephraim? Do I deliver thee up, O Israel? How do I make thee as Admah? Do I set thee as Zeboim? Turned in Me is My heart, kindled together have been My repentings.
“Yaya zan ba da kai, Efraim? Yaya zan miƙa ka, Isra’ila? Yaya zan yi da kai kamar Adma? Yaya zan yi da kai kamar Zeboyim? Zuciyata ta canja a cikina; dukan tausayina ya huru.
9 I do not the fierceness of My anger, I turn not back to destroy Ephraim, For God I [am], and not a man. In thy midst the Holy One, and I enter not in enmity,
Ba zan zartar da fushina mai zafi ba, ba kuwa zan juya in ragargaza Efraim ba. Gama ni Allah ne, ba mutum ba, Mai Tsarki a cikinku. Ba zan zo cikin fushi ba.
10 After Jehovah they go — as a lion He roareth, When He doth roar, then tremble do the sons from the west.
Za su bi Ubangiji; zai yi ruri kamar zaki. Sa’ad da ya yi ruri,’ya’yansa za su zo da rawan jiki daga yamma.
11 They tremble as a sparrow out of Egypt, And as a dove out of the land of Asshur, And I have caused them to dwell in their own houses, An affirmation of Jehovah.
Za su zo da rawan jiki kamar tsuntsaye daga Masar, kamar kurciyoyi daga Assuriya. Zan zaunar da su a cikin gidajensu,” in ji Ubangiji.
12 Compassed Me with feigning hath Ephraim, And with deceit the house of Israel. And Judah again is ruling with God, And with the Holy Ones [is] faithful!
Mutanen Efraim sun kewaye ni da ƙarairayi, gidan Isra’ila da ruɗu. Mutanen Yahuda kuma suna yi wa Allah ƙin ji, har ma a kan Mai Tsarkin nan mai aminci.
