Hosiya 14
1 Ku dawo, ya Isra’ila, ga Ubangiji Allahnku. Zunubanku ne sun zama sanadin fāɗuwarku!
Return, Israel, to the Lord your God, because your sins have brought you down.
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.
Take words like these with you and come back to the Lord, saying to him, “Please take away all our guilt, accept what is good, and we will repay you with praise from 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 can't save us; we will not ride our warhorses; we will never again say ‘You are our gods’ to the idols we have made. For in you orphans find mercy.”
4 “Zan gyara ɓatancinsu in kuma ƙaunace su a sake, gama fushina ya juya daga gare su.
I will heal their unfaithfulness; I will love them freely, for I'm not angry with them any more.
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, they will blossom like lilies, they will send down roots like the cedars of Lebanon.
6 tohonsa za su yi girma. Darajarsa za tă zama kamar itacen zaitun, ƙanshinsa kamar al’ul na Lebanon.
They shall send out new shoots, their splendor will be like the olive tree, their scent will be 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.
Those who live under their shade shall return, they will flourish like grain, they will blossom like the vine, and they will be as famous as 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.”
Ephraim, how much more do I have to warn you about idols? I have answered and now I am watching. I am like a tree that is evergreen; your fruit is found in 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.
Who is wise to understand these things? Who has discernment in understanding them? The Lord's paths are right—the good follow them, but rebels trip and fall along the way.
