1 “Ka ce da’yan’uwanka maza, ‘Mutanena,’ ka kuma ce da’yan’uwanka mata, ‘Ƙaunatacciyata.’
"Say to your brothers, 'My People.' and to your sisters, 'Compassion.'
2 “Ka tsawata wa mahaifiyarka, ka tsawata mata, gama ita ba matata ba ce, ni kuma ba mijinta ba ne. Ku roƙe ta tă daina karuwancinta da kuma rashin aminci a tsakanin nononta.
Contend with your mother. Contend, for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband; and let her put away her prostitution from her face, and her adulteries from between her breasts;
3 In ba haka ba zai tuɓe ta tsirara in bar ta kamar yadda take a ranar da aka haife ta; zan sa ta zama kamar hamada, in mayar da ita busasshiyar ƙasar, in kashe ta da ƙishirwa.
Lest I strip her naked, and make her bare as in the day that she was born, and make her like a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and kill her with thirst.
4 Ba zan nuna wa’ya’yanta ƙaunata ba, domin su’ya’yan zina ne.
Indeed, on her children I will have no mercy; for they are children of unfaithfulness;
5 Mahaifiyarsu ta yi rashin aminci ta kuma ɗauki cikinsu ta wurin yi abin kunya. Ta ce, ‘Zan bi kwartayena, waɗanda suke ba ni abinci da ruwa, ulu nawa da lilina, mai nawa da kuma abin sha na.’
For their mother has played the prostitute. She who conceived them has done shamefully; for she said, 'I will go after my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.'
6 Saboda haka zai tare hanyarta da ƙaya; zan yi mata katanga don kada tă sami hanya.
Therefore, look, I will hedge up her way with thorns, and I will build a wall against her, that she can't find her way.
7 Za tă bi kwartayenta amma ba za tă kama su ba; za tă neme su amma ba za tă same su ba. Sa’an nan za tă ce, ‘Zan koma ga mijina na fari, gama dā ya fi mini yadda nake a yanzu.’
She will follow after her lovers, but she won't overtake them; and she will seek them, but won't find them. Then she will say, 'I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now.'
8 Ba ta yarda cewa ni ne wanda ya ba ta hatsi, sabon ruwan inabi da mai ba, wanda ya jibge mata azurfa da zinariya, waɗanda suka yi amfani wa Ba’al ba.
For she did not know that I gave her the grain, the new wine, and the oil, and multiplied to her silver and gold, which they used for Baal.
9 “Saboda haka zan ƙwace hatsina sa’ad da ya nuna, da sabon ruwan inabina sa’ad da ya ƙosa. Zan karɓe ulu nawa da lilina, da take niyya ta rufe tsiraicinta.
Therefore I will take back my grain in its time, and my new wine in its season, and will pluck away my wool and my flax which should have covered her nakedness.
10 Saboda haka yanzu zan buɗe tsiraicinta a idanun kwartayenta; ba wani da zai ƙwace ta daga hannuwana.
Now I will uncover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and no one will deliver her out of my hand.
11 Zan tsayar da dukan bukukkuwarta, bukukkuwarta na shekara-shekara, da kuma kiyaye bikin Sababbin Wata nata, kwanakin Asabbacinta, dukan ƙayyadaddun bukukkuwarta.
I will also cause all her celebrations to cease: her feasts, her new moons, her Sabbaths, and all her solemn assemblies.
12 Zan lalatar da inabinta da kuma itatuwan ɓaurenta, waɗanda take cewa su ne abin da kwartayenta suka biya; zan mayar da su kurmi, namun jeji kuwa za su ci su.
I will lay waste her vines and her fig trees, about which she has said, 'These are my wages that my lovers have given me; and I will make them a forest,' and the animals of the field shall eat them.
13 Zan hukunta ta saboda kwanakin da ta ƙone turare wa Ba’al; ta yi wa kanta ado da zobai da duwatsu masu daraja, ta bi kwartayenta, amma ta manta da ni,” in ji Ubangiji.
I will visit on her the days of the Baals, to which she burned incense, when she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and went after her lovers, and forgot me," says the LORD.
14 “Saboda haka yanzu zan rarrashe ta; zan bishe ta zuwa hamada in kuma yi mata magana a hankali.
"Therefore, look, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak tenderly to her.
15 A can zan mayar mata da gonakin inabinta, zan kuma sa Kwarin Akor yă zama ƙofar bege. A can za tă rera kamar a kwanakin ƙuruciyarta, kamar a lokacin da ta fita daga Masar.
I will give her vineyards from there, and the Valley of Achor for a door of hope; and she will respond there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
16 “A waccan rana,” in ji Ubangiji, “za ki ce da ni ‘mijina’; ba za ki ƙara ce ni ‘maigidana’ ba.
It will be in that day," says the LORD, "that you will call me 'my husband,' and no longer call me 'my master.'
17 Zan cire sunayen Ba’al daga leɓunanta; ba za a ƙara kira sunayensu ba.
For I will take away the names of the Baals out of her mouth, and they will no longer be mentioned by name.
18 A waccan rana zan yi alkawari dominsu da namun jeji da kuma tsuntsayen sararin sama da dukan halittu masu rarrafe a ƙasa. Baka da takobi da yaƙi zan sa su ƙare a ƙasar, domin duk su zauna lafiya.
In that day I will make a covenant for them with the animals of the field, and with the birds of the sky, and with the crawling creatures of the ground. I will break the bow, the sword, and the battle out of the land, and will make them lie down safely.
19 Zan ɗaura aure da ke har abada; zan ɗaura aure da yake cikin adalci da gaskiya, cikin ƙauna da jinƙai.
I will betroth you to me forever. Yes, I will betroth you to me in righteousness, in justice, in loving kindness, and in compassion.
20 Zan ɗaura aure da yake cikin aminci za ki kuwa yarda cewa ni ne Ubangiji.
I will even betroth you to me in faithfulness; and you shall know the LORD.
21 “A waccan rana zan amsa,” in ji Ubangiji, “zan amsa wa sararin sama, za su kuwa amsa wa ƙasa;
It will happen in that day, I will respond," says the LORD, "I will respond to the heavens, and they will respond to the earth;
22 ƙasa kuma za tă amsa wa hatsi, sabon ruwan inabi da kuma mai, su kuma za su amsa wa Yezireyel.
and the earth will respond to the grain, and the new wine, and the oil; and they will respond to Jezreel.
23 Zan dasa ta wa kaina a ƙasar; zan shuka ƙaunata ga wanda na ce ‘Ba ƙaunatacciyata ba.’ Zan faɗa wa waɗanda a ce ‘Ba mutanena ba,’ ‘Ku mutanena ne’; za su kuwa ce, ‘Kai ne Allahna.’”
And I will sow her for myself in the land; and I will have compassion on No Compassion; and I will say to Not My People, 'You are my people;' and they will say, 'My God.'"
