Hosiya 12
1 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.
Ephraim chases the wind and pursues the east wind all day long; he multiplies lies and violence; he makes a covenant with Assyria and sends olive oil to Egypt.
2 Ubangiji yana da ƙarar da zai kawo a kan Yahuda; zai hukunta Yaƙub bisa ga hanyoyinsa zai sāka masa bisa ga ayyukansa.
The LORD also brings a charge against Judah. He will punish Jacob according to his ways and repay him according to his deeds.
3 A cikin mahaifa ya cafke ɗiɗɗigen ɗan’uwansa; a matsayin mutum ya yi kokawa da Allah.
In the womb he grasped his brother’s heel, and in his vigor he wrestled with God.
4 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,
Yes, he struggled with the angel and prevailed; he wept and sought His favor; he found Him at Bethel and spoke with Him there —
5 Ubangiji Allah Maɗaukaki, Ubangiji ne sunansa sananne!
the LORD is the God of Hosts— the LORD is His name of renown.
6 Amma dole ku koma ga Allahnku; ku ci gaba da ƙauna da yin gaskiya, ku kuma saurari Allahnku kullum.
But you must return to your God, maintaining love and justice, and always waiting on your God.
7 Ɗan kasuwa yana amfani da mudu marar gaskiya; yana jin daɗin cuta.
A merchant loves to defraud with dishonest scales in his hands.
8 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.”
And Ephraim boasts: “How rich I have become! I have found wealth for myself. In all my labors, they can find in me no iniquity that is sinful.”
9 “Ni ne Ubangiji Allahnku, wanda ya fitar da ku daga Masar; zan sa ku sāke zauna a tentuna, kamar a kwanakin ƙayyadaddun bukukkuwanku.
But I am the LORD your God ever since the land of Egypt. I will again make you dwell in tents, as in the days of the appointed feast.
10 Na yi magana da annabawa, na ba su wahayi da yawa na kuma ba da misalai ta wurinsu.”
I spoke through the prophets and multiplied their visions; I gave parables through the prophets.
11 Gileyad mugu ne? Mutanensa mutanen banza ne! Suna miƙa bijimai a Gilgal? Bagadansu za su zama tsibin duwatsu. A gonar da aka nome.
Is there iniquity in Gilead? They will surely come to nothing. Do they sacrifice bulls in Gilgal? Indeed, their altars will be heaps of stones in the furrows of the field.
12 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.
Jacob fled to the land of Aram and Israel worked for a wife— for a wife he tended sheep.
13 Ubangiji ya yi amfani da annabi don yă fitar da Isra’ila daga Masar ta wurin annabi ya lura da shi.
But by a prophet the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet he was preserved.
14 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.
Ephraim has provoked bitter anger, so his Lord will leave his bloodguilt upon him and repay him for his contempt.
