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 is enjoying wind, And is pursuing an east wind, All the day he multiplies lying and spoiling, And they make a covenant with Asshur, And oil is carried 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.
And YHWH has a controversy with Judah, To lay a charge on Jacob according to his ways, He returns to him according to his doings.
3 A cikin mahaifa ya cafke ɗiɗɗigen ɗan’uwansa; a matsayin mutum ya yi kokawa da Allah.
In the womb he took his brother by the heel, And by his strength he was a prince 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,
Indeed, he is a prince to the Messenger, And he overcomes [by] weeping, And he makes supplication to Him, At Bethel He finds him, And there He speaks with us,
5 Ubangiji Allah Maɗaukaki, Ubangiji ne sunansa sananne!
Even YHWH, God of the Hosts, YHWH [is] His memorial.
6 Amma dole ku koma ga Allahnku; ku ci gaba da ƙauna da yin gaskiya, ku kuma saurari Allahnku kullum.
And you, through your God, turn, Keep kindness and judgment, And wait on your God continually.
7 Ɗan kasuwa yana amfani da mudu marar gaskiya; yana jin daɗin cuta.
Canaan! In his hand [are] balances of deceit! He has loved to oppress.
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 says, Surely I have become rich, I have found wealth for myself, All my labors—they do not find against me iniquity that [is] sin.
9 “Ni ne Ubangiji Allahnku, wanda ya fitar da ku daga Masar; zan sa ku sāke zauna a tentuna, kamar a kwanakin ƙayyadaddun bukukkuwanku.
And I—your God YHWH from the land of Egypt, Again I turn you back into tents, As in the days of the appointed time.
10 Na yi magana da annabawa, na ba su wahayi da yawa na kuma ba da misalai ta wurinsu.”
And I have spoken to the prophets, And I have multiplied vision, And by the hand of the prophets I use allegories.
11 Gileyad mugu ne? Mutanensa mutanen banza ne! Suna miƙa bijimai a Gilgal? Bagadansu za su zama tsibin duwatsu. A gonar da aka nome.
Surely Gilead [is] iniquity, They have been only vanity, In Gilead they have sacrificed bullocks, Also their altars [are] as heaps, on the furrows of a 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.
And Jacob flees to the country of Aram, And Israel serves for a wife, Indeed, he has kept watch for a wife.
13 Ubangiji ya yi amfani da annabi don yă fitar da Isra’ila daga Masar ta wurin annabi ya lura da shi.
And by a prophet has YHWH brought up Israel out of Egypt, And by a prophet it has been watched.
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 most bitterly provoked, And he leaves his blood on himself, And his Lord turns his reproach back to him!”
