Hosea 12
1 Ephraim is enjoying wind, And is pursuing an east wind, All the day lying and spoiling he multiplieth, And a covenant with Asshur they make, And oil to Egypt is carried.
Efraim yana kiwo a kan iska; yana fafarar iskar gabas dukan yini yana riɓaɓɓanya ƙarairayi da rikici. Ya yi yarjejjeniya da Assuriya ya kuma aika wa Masar man zaitun.
2 And a controversy hath Jehovah with Judah, To lay a charge on Jacob according to his ways, According to his doings He returneth to him.
Ubangiji yana da ƙarar da zai kawo a kan Yahuda; zai hukunta Yaƙub bisa ga hanyoyinsa zai sāka masa bisa ga ayyukansa.
3 In the womb he took his brother by the heel, And by his strength he was a prince with God,
A cikin mahaifa ya cafke ɗiɗɗigen ɗan’uwansa; a matsayin mutum ya yi kokawa da Allah.
4 Yea, he is a prince unto the Messenger, And he overcometh [by] weeping, And he maketh supplication to Him, At Bethel He doth find him, And there He doth speak with us,
Ya yi kokawa da mala’ika ya kuma rinjaye shi; ya yi kuka ya kuma yi roƙo don tagomashi. Ya same shi a Betel ya kuma yi magana da shi a can,
5 Even Jehovah, God of the Hosts, Jehovah [is] His memorial.
Ubangiji Allah Maɗaukaki, Ubangiji ne sunansa sananne!
6 And thou, through thy God, dost turn, Kindness and judgment keep thou, And wait on thy God continually.
Amma dole ku koma ga Allahnku; ku ci gaba da ƙauna da yin gaskiya, ku kuma saurari Allahnku kullum.
7 Canaan! in his hand [are] balances of deceit! To oppress he hath loved.
Ɗan kasuwa yana amfani da mudu marar gaskiya; yana jin daɗin cuta.
8 And Ephraim saith: 'Surely I have become rich, I have found wealth for myself, All my labours — they find not against me iniquity that [is] sin.'
Efraim yana fariya yana cewa, “Ni mai arziki ne ƙwarai; na azurta. Da dukan wadatata ba za a sami wani laifi ko zunubi a gare ni ba.”
9 And I — Jehovah thy God from the land of Egypt, Again do I turn thee back into tents, As in the days of the appointed time.
“Ni ne Ubangiji Allahnku, wanda ya fitar da ku daga Masar; zan sa ku sāke zauna a tentuna, kamar a kwanakin ƙayyadaddun bukukkuwanku.
10 And I have spoken unto the prophets, And I have multiplied vision, And by the hand of the prophets I use similes.
Na yi magana da annabawa, na ba su wahayi da yawa na kuma ba da misalai ta wurinsu.”
11 Surely Gilead [is] iniquity, Only, vanity they have been, In Gilead bullocks they have sacrificed, Also their altars [are] as heaps, on the furrows of a field.
Gileyad mugu ne? Mutanensa mutanen banza ne! Suna miƙa bijimai a Gilgal? Bagadansu za su zama tsibin duwatsu. A gonar da aka nome.
12 And Jacob doth flee to the country of Aram, And Israel doth serve for a wife, Yea, for a wife he hath kept watch.
Yaƙub ya gudu zuwa ƙasar Aram; Isra’ila ya yi bauta don yă sami mata, domin kuma yă biya, sai da ya yi kiwon tumaki.
13 And by a prophet hath Jehovah brought up Israel out of Egypt, And by a prophet it hath been watched.
Ubangiji ya yi amfani da annabi don yă fitar da Isra’ila daga Masar ta wurin annabi ya lura da shi.
14 Ephraim hath provoked most bitterly, And his blood on himself he leaveth, And his reproach turn back to him doth his Lord!
Amma Efraim ya yi muguwar tsokana da ta sa ya yi fushi; shugabansa zai ɗora musu hakkin jini a kansa kuma zai sāka masa saboda wulaƙancinsa.
