< Hosiya 14 >

1 Ku dawo, ya Isra’ila, ga Ubangiji Allahnku. Zunubanku ne sun zama sanadin fāɗuwarku!
Return, O Israel, to the LORD your God, for you have stumbled by your iniquity.
2 Ku ɗauki magana tare da ku ku komo wurin Ubangiji. Ku ce masa, “Ka gafarta mana dukan zunubanmu ka kuma karɓe mu da alheri, don mu iya yabe ka da leɓunanmu.
Bring your confessions and return to the LORD. Say to Him: “Take away all our iniquity and receive us graciously, that we may present the fruit of our lips.
3 Assuriya ba za su iya cece mu ba; ba za mu hau dawakan yaƙi ba. Ba za mu ƙara ce, ‘Allolinmu’ wa abin da hannuwanmu suka yi ba, gama a gare ka ne maraya yakan sami jinƙai.”
Assyria will not save us, nor will we ride on horses. We will never again say, ‘Our gods!’ to the work of our own hands. For in You the fatherless find compassion.”
4 “Zan gyara ɓatancinsu in kuma ƙaunace su a sake, gama fushina ya juya daga gare su.
I will heal their apostasy; I will freely love them, for My anger has turned away from them.
5 Zan zama kamar raɓa ga Isra’ila zai yi fure kamar lili. Kamar al’ul na Lebanon zai sa saiwarsa zuwa ƙasa;
I will be like the dew to Israel; he will blossom like the lily and take root like the cedars of Lebanon.
6 tohonsa za su yi girma. Darajarsa za tă zama kamar itacen zaitun, ƙanshinsa kamar al’ul na Lebanon.
His shoots will sprout, and his splendor will be like the olive tree, his fragrance like the cedars of Lebanon.
7 Mutane za su sāke zauna a inuwarsa. Zai haɓaka kamar ƙwayar hatsi. Zai yi fure kamar kuringa, zai zama sananne kamar ruwan inabi daga Lebanon.
They will return and dwell in his shade; they will grow grain and blossom like the vine. His renown will be like the wine of Lebanon.
8 Efraim zai ce, me kuma zai haɗa ni da gumaka? Zan amsa masa in kuma lura da shi. Ni kamar koren itacen fir ne; amincinka yana fitowa daga gare ni ne.”
O Ephraim, what have I to do anymore with idols? It is I who answer and watch over him. I am like a flourishing cypress; your fruit comes from Me.
9 Wane ne yake da hikima? Zai gane waɗannan abubuwa. Hanyoyin Ubangiji daidai ne; masu adalci sukan yi tafiya a kansu, amma’yan tawaye sukan yi tuntuɓe a kansu.
Whoever is wise, let him understand these things; whoever is discerning, let him know them. For the ways of the LORD are right, and the righteous walk in them but the rebellious stumble in them.
