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, a horror seized Israel: and he sinned in Baal and 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 have sinned more and more: and they have made to themselves a molten thing of their silver as the likeness of idols: the whole is the work of craftsmen: to these that say: Sacrifice men, ye that adore 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 a morning aloud, and as the early dew that passeth away, as the dust that is driven with a whirlwind out of the 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.
But I am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt: and thou shalt know no God but me, and there is no saviour beside me.
5 Na lura da ku a hamada, cikin ƙasar mai ƙunar zafi.
I knew thee in the desert, in the land of the wilderness.
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 pastures they were filled, and were made full: and they lifted up their heart, and have forgotten me.
7 Saboda haka zan hau kansu kamar zaki, zan ɓuya a bakin hanya kamar damisa.
And I will be to them as a lioness, as a leopard in the way of the Assyrians.
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 robbed of her whelps, and I will rend the inner parts of their liver: and I will devour them there as a lion, the beast of the field shall tear them.
9 “An hallaka ku, ya Isra’ila, domin kun tayar mini, kun tayar wa mai taimakonku.
Destruction is thy own, O Israel: thy help is only in me.
10 Ina sarkinku, da zai cece ku? Ina masu mulkinku cikin dukan garuruwanku, waɗanda kuka ce, ‘Ba mu sarki da shugabanni’?
Where is thy king? now especially let him save thee in all thy cities: and thy judges, of whom thou saidst: Give me kings and princes.
11 Saboda haka cikin fushina na ba ku sarki, kuma cikin hasalata na ɗauke shi.
I will give thee a king in my wrath, and will take him away in my indignation.
12 An yi ajiyar laifin Efraim, aka lissafta zunubansa.
The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up, his sin is hidden.
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 woman in labour snail come upon him, he is an unwise son: for now he shall not stand in the breach of the children.
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 deliver them out of the hand of death. I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy death; O hell, I will be thy bite: comfort is hidden 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.
Because he shall make a separation between brothers: the Lord will bring a burning wind that shall rise from the desert, and it shall dry up his springs, and shall make his fountain desolate, and he shall carry off the treasure of every desirable vessel.
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.”
Let Samaria perish, because she hath stirred up her God to bitterness: let them perish by the sword, let their little ones be dashed, and let the women with child be ripped up.
