1 Ku ji maganar Ubangiji, ku Isra’ilawa, gama Ubangiji yana da tuhumar da zai kawo a kan ku waɗanda suke zama a ƙasar. “Babu aminci, babu ƙauna, babu yarda da Allah a cikin ƙasar.
“Hear a word of YHWH, sons of Israel, For a strife [is] to YHWH with inhabitants of the land, For there is no truth, nor kindness, Nor knowledge of God in the land;
2 Akwai la’ana ce kawai, yin ƙarya da kisa, yin sata da zina; sun wuce gona da iri, kisankai a kan kisankai.
Swearing, and lying, and murdering, And stealing, and committing adultery—have increased, And blood has touched against blood.
3 Saboda wannan ƙasar tana makoki, kuma dukan waɗanda suke zama a cikinta sun lalace; namun jeji da tsuntsayen sararin sama da kuma kifin teku suna mutuwa.
Therefore the land mourns, And every dweller is weak in it, With the beast of the field, And with the bird of the heavens, And the fishes of the sea—they are removed.
4 “Amma kada wani mutum yă kawo tuhuma, kada wani mutum yă zargi wani, gama mutanenka suna kama da waɗanda suke kawo tuhume-tuhume a kan firist ne.
Only, let no one strive, nor reprove a man, And your people [are] as those striving with a priest.
5 Kuna tuntuɓe dare da rana, annabawa ma suna tuntuɓe tare da ku. Saboda haka zan hallaka mahaifiyarku,
And you have stumbled in the day, And a prophet has also stumbled with you in the night, And I have cut off your mother.
6 mutanena suna hallaka saboda jahilci. “Domin kun ƙi neman sani, ni ma na ƙi ku a matsayin firistocina; domin kun ƙyale dokar Allahnku, ni ma zan ƙyale’ya’yanku.
My people have been cut off for lack of knowledge, Because you have rejected knowledge, I reject you from being priest to Me, And you forget the Law of your God—I forget your sons, I also!
7 Yawan ƙaruwar firistoci, haka suke yawan zunubi a kaina; sun yi musaya Ɗaukakarsu da wani abin kunya.
According to their abundance so they sinned against Me, I change their glory into shame.
8 Suna ciyar da kansu a kan zunuban mutanena suna kuma haɗamar muguntarsu.
The sin of My people they eat, And to their iniquity lift up their soul.
9 Zai kuwa zama, kamar yadda mutane suke, haka firistoci suke. Zan hukunta dukansu saboda al’amuransu in kuma sāka musu saboda ayyukansu.
And it has been, like people, like priest, And I have charged on it its ways, And its habitual doings I return to it.
10 “Za su ci amma ba za su ƙoshi ba; za su shiga karuwanci amma ba za su ƙaru ba, gama sun rabu da Ubangiji don su ba da kansu
And they have eaten, and are not satisfied, They have gone whoring, and do not increase, For they have left off taking heed to YHWH.
11 ga karuwanci, ga tsoho da kuma sabon ruwan inabi, waɗanda suka ɗauke ganewar mutanena.
Whoredom, and wine, and new wine, take the heart,
12 Sun nemi shawarar gunkin da aka yi da itace suka kuwa sami amsa daga sanda. Halin karuwanci yakan ɓad da su; sun yi rashin aminci ga Allahnsu.
My people at its staff asks and its rod declares to it, For a spirit of whoredoms has caused to err, And they go whoring from under their God.
13 Suna miƙa hadaya a kan ƙwanƙolin duwatsu suna kuma ƙone hadayu a kan tuddai, a ƙarƙashin itatuwa oak, aduruku da katambiri, inda inuwa take da daɗi. Saboda haka’ya’yanku mata suka juya wa karuwanci surukanku mata kuma suka shiga yin zina.
On tops of the mountains they sacrifice, And on the hills they make incense, Under oak, and poplar, and terebinth, For good [is] its shade.
14 “Ba zan hukunta’ya’yanku mata sa’ad da suka juya ga yin karuwanci ba, balle surukanku mata, sa’ad da suka yi zina, gama mazan da kansu suna ma’amala da karuwai suna kuma miƙa hadaya tare da karuwai na masujada, mutane marasa ganewa za su lalace!
Therefore your daughters commit whoredom, And your spouses commit adultery, I do not see after your daughters when they commit whoredom, And after your spouses when they commit adultery, For they with the harlots are separated, And with the whores they sacrifice, A people that does not understand kicks.
15 “Ko da yake kun yi zina, ya Isra’ila, kada Yahuda ya yi laifi. “Kada ku tafi Gilgal; kada ku haura zuwa Bet-Awen. Kuma kada ku rantse cewa, ‘Muddin Ubangiji yana a raye!’
Though you [are] a harlot, O Israel, Do not let Judah become guilty, And do not come to Gilgal, nor go up to Beth-Aven, Nor swear, YHWH lives.
16 Isra’ilawa masu taurinkai ne, kamar karsana mai taurinkai. Yaya Ubangiji zai iya kiwonsu kamar tumaki a makiyaya mai ɗanyar ciyawa?
For Israel has turned aside as a stubborn heifer, Now YHWH feeds them as a lamb in a large place.
17 Efraim ya haɗa kai da gumaka; ku ƙyale shi kurum!
Ephraim is joined to idols, leave him alone.
18 Ko ma sa’ad da abin shansu ya ƙare, sai suka ci gaba da karuwancinsu; masu mulkinsu suna ƙaunar abin kunya.
Sour [is] their drink, They have gone whoring diligently, Her protectors have thoroughly loved shame.
19 Guguwa za tă share su, hadayunsu kuma za su jawo musu abin kunya.
Wind has distressed her with its wings, And they are ashamed of their sacrifices!”
