Hosiya 5
1 “Ku ji wannan, ku firistoci! Ku kasa kunne, ku Isra’ilawa! Ku saurara, ya ku gidan sarauta! Wannan hukunci yana a kanku, kun zama tarko a Mizfa, ragar da aka shimfiɗa a kan Tabor.
Hear these things, ye priests; and attend, O house of Israel; and hearken, O house of the king; for the controversy is with you, because ye have been a snare in Scopia, and as a net spread on Itabyrium,
2 ’Yan tawaye sun yi zurfi cikin kisan gilla. Zan hore su duka.
which they that hunt the prey have fixed: but I will correct you.
3 Na san Efraim ƙaf; Isra’ila ba a ɓoye take a gare ni ba. Efraim, yanzu ka juya ka shiga karuwanci; Isra’ila ta lalace.
I know Ephraim, and Israel is not far from me: for now Ephraim has gone grievously a-whoring, Israel is defiled.
4 “Ayyukansu ba su ba su dama su koma ga Allahnsu ba. Halin karuwanci yana cikin zuciyarsu; ba su yarda da Ubangiji ba.
They have not framed their counsels to return to their God, for the spirit of fornication is in them, and they have not known the Lord.
5 Girmankan Isra’ila yana ba da shaida a kansu; Isra’ilawa, har ma Efraim, sun yi tuntuɓe a cikin zunubinsu; Yahuda ma ya yi tuntuɓe tare da su.
And the pride of Israel shall be brought low before his face; and Israel and Ephraim shall fall in their iniquities; and Judas also shall fall with them.
6 Sa’ad da suka tafi tare da garkunan shanu, tumaki da awakinsu don su nemi Ubangiji, ba za su same shi ba; ya janye kansa daga gare su.
They shall go with sheep and calves diligently to seek the Lord; but they shall not find him, for he has withdrawn himself from them.
7 Su marasa aminci ne ga Ubangiji; suna haihuwar shegu. Yanzu bukukkuwar Sabon Watansu za su cinye su da gonakinsu.
For they have forsaken the Lord; for strange children have been born to them: now shall the cankerworm devour them and their heritages.
8 “Amon kakaki a Gibeya, ƙaho a Rama. Ku yi kirarin yaƙi a Bet-Awen; ku ja gaba, ya Benyamin.
Blow ye the trumpet on the hills, sound aloud on the heights: proclaim in the house of On, Benjamin is amazed.
9 Efraim za tă zama kango a ranar hukunci. A cikin kabilan Isra’ila na yi shelar abin da yake tabbatacce.
Ephraim has come to nought in the days of reproof: in the tribes of Israel I have shown faithful [dealings].
10 Shugabannin Yahuda suna kamar waɗanda suke matsar da duwatsun shaidar da aka sa a kan iyaka ne. Zan zubo musu da fushina a kansu kamar rigyawar ruwa.
The princes of Juda became as they that removed the bounds: I will pour out upon them my fury as water.
11 An danne Efraim, an murƙushe ta a shari’a ta ƙudura ga bin gumaka.
Ephraim altogether prevailed against his adversary, he trod judgment under foot, for he began to go after vanities.
12 Na zama kamar asu ga Efraim, kamar ruɓa ga mutanen Yahuda.
Therefore I [will be] as consternation to Ephraim, and as a goad to the house of Juda.
13 “Sa’ad da Efraim ya ga ciwonsa, Yahuda kuwa miyakunta, sai Efraim ya juya ga Assuriya, ya aika wurin babban sarki don neman taimako. Amma bai iya warkar da kai ba, bai iya warkar da miyakunka ba.
And Ephraim saw his disease, and Judas his pain; then Ephraim went to the Assyrians, and sent ambassadors to king Jarim: but he could not heal you, and your pain shall in nowise cease from you.
14 Gama zan zama kamar zaki ga Efraim, kamar babban zaki ga Yahuda. Zan yage su kucu-kucu in tafi; zan kwashe su, ba wanda zai kuɓutar da su.
Wherefore I am as a panther to Ephraim, and as a lion to the house of Juda: and I will tear, and go away; and I will take, and there shall be none to deliver.
15 Sa’an nan zan koma wurina sai sun yarda da laifinsu. Za su kuma nemi fuskata; cikin azabansu za su nace da nemana.”
I will go and return to my place, until they are brought to nought, and [then] shall they seek my face.
