Hosiya 13
1 Sa’ad da Efraim ya yi magana, mutane sun yi rawan jiki; an girmama shi a cikin Isra’ila. Amma sai ya zama mai laifi na yin wa Ba’al sujada, ya kuwa mutu.
When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling. He exalted himself in Israel, but when he offended in Baal, he died.
2 Yanzu sai yin zunubi a kai a kai suke; suna yin gumaka wa kansu daga azurfansu, da wayo suna sarrafa siffofi, dukansu aikin masu aikin hannu ne. Ana magana waɗannan mutane cewa, “Suna miƙa hadayar mutum su kuma sumbaci gumakan maruƙa.”
And now they sin more and more, and have made themselves molten images of their silver, even idols according to their own understanding, all of them the work of the craftsmen. They say of them, Let the men who sacrifice kiss the calves.
3 Saboda haka za su zama kamar hazon safiya, kamar raɓar safen da yakan kakkaɓe, kamar ƙaiƙayin da ake tankaɗe daga masussuka, kamar hayaƙin da yake fita daga taga.
Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud, and as the dew that passes away early, as the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the threshing-floor, and as the smoke out of the chimney.
4 “Amma ni ne Ubangiji Allahnku, wanda ya fitar da ku daga Masar. Ba za ku yarda da wani Allah ba sai ni, ba wani Mai Ceto in ban da ni.
Yet I am Jehovah thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shall know no god but me, and besides me there is no savior.
5 Na lura da ku a hamada, cikin ƙasar mai ƙunar zafi.
I knew thee in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.
6 Sa’ad da na ciyar da su sun ƙoshi; sa’ad da suka ƙoshi, sai suka fara taƙama; sai suka manta da ni.
According to their pasture, so they were filled. They were filled, and their heart was exalted. Therefore they have forgotten me.
7 Saboda haka zan hau kansu kamar zaki, zan ɓuya a bakin hanya kamar damisa.
Therefore I am to them as a lion. As a leopard I will watch by the way.
8 Kamar beyar da aka ƙwace mata’ya’yanta, zan fāɗa musu in ɓarke su. Kamar zaki zan cinye su; kamar naman jeji zan yayyage su.
I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the caul of their heart. And there I will devour them like a lioness. The wild beast shall tear them.
9 “An hallaka ku, ya Isra’ila, domin kun tayar mini, kun tayar wa mai taimakonku.
It is thy destruction, O Israel, that thou are against me, against thy help.
10 Ina sarkinku, da zai cece ku? Ina masu mulkinku cikin dukan garuruwanku, waɗanda kuka ce, ‘Ba mu sarki da shugabanni’?
Where now is thy king, that he may save thee in all thy cities, and thy judges, of whom thou said, Give me a king and rulers?
11 Saboda haka cikin fushina na ba ku sarki, kuma cikin hasalata na ɗauke shi.
I have given thee a king in my anger, and have taken him away in my wrath.
12 An yi ajiyar laifin Efraim, aka lissafta zunubansa.
The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up. His sin is laid up in store.
13 Naƙuda ta zo masa kamar a mace mai haihuwa, amma shi yaro ne marar hikima; sa’ad da lokaci ya kai, ba ya zuwa inda mahaifa ta buɗe.
The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him. He is an unwise son, for it is time he should not tarry in the place of the breaking forth of sons.
14 “Zan fanshe su daga ikon kabari; zan cece su daga mutuwa. Ina annobanki, ya mutuwa? Ina hallakarka, ya kabari? “Ba zan ji tausayi ba, (Sheol h7585)
I will ransom them from the power of Sheol. I will redeem them from death. O death, where are thy plagues? O Sheol, where is thy sting? Repentance shall be hid from my eyes. (Sheol h7585)
15 ko da ma ya ci gaba cikin’yan’uwansa. Iskar gabas daga Ubangiji za tă zo, tana hurawa daga hamada; maɓulɓularsa za tă kafe rijiyarsa kuma ta bushe. Za a kwashi kaya masu daraja na ɗakin ajiyarsa ganima.
Though he be fruitful among his brothers, an east wind shall come, the breath of Jehovah coming up from the wilderness, and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up. He shall make spoil of the treasure of all goodly vessels.
16 Dole mutanen Samariya su ɗauki laifinsu, domin sun tayar wa Allahnsu. Za a kashe su da takobi; za a fyaɗa ƙananansu da ƙasa, za a ɓarke matansu masu ciki.”
Samaria shall bear her guilt, for she has rebelled against her God. They shall fall by the sword. Their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.
