Hosiya 6
1 “Ku zo, mu koma ga Ubangiji. Ya yayyage mu kucu-kucu amma zai warkar da mu; ya ji mana ciwo amma zai daure mana miyakunmu.
Come and let us return unto Jehovah: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.
2 Bayan kwana biyu zai rayar da mu, a rana ta uku zai tashe mu, don mu rayu a gabansa.
After two days will he revive us; on the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live before his face;
3 Bari mu yarda da Ubangiji; bari mu nace gaba don mu yarda da shi. Muddin rana tana fitowa, zai bayyana; zai zo mana kamar ruwan bazara, kamar ruwan saman farko da yake jiƙe ƙasa.”
and we shall know, — we shall follow on to know Jehovah: his going forth is assured as the morning dawn; and he will come unto us as the rain, as the latter rain which watereth the earth.
4 “Me zan yi da kai Efraim? Me zan yi da kai Yahuda? Ƙaunarku tana kamar hazon safiya, kamar raɓar safiya da takan ɓace.
What shall I do unto thee, Ephraim? What shall I do unto thee, Judah? For your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the dew that early passeth away.
5 Saboda haka na yayyaga ku kucu-kucu tare da annabawana, na kashe ku da kalmomin bakina; hukuntaina sun haskaka kamar walƙiya a kanku.
Therefore have I hewed [them] by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and my judgment goeth forth as the light.
6 Gama jinƙai nake bukata, ba hadaya ba, ku kuma san Allah a maimakon hadayun ƙonawa.
For I delight in loving-kindness, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt-offerings.
7 Kamar Adamu, sun tā da alkawari, sun yi mini rashin aminci a can.
But they like Adam have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.
8 Gileyad birni ce ta mugayen mutane, da tabon alamun jini.
Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity; it is tracked with blood.
9 Kamar yadda mafasa sukan yi fakon mutum, haka ƙungiyoyin firistoci suke; suna kisa a hanya zuwa Shekem, suna aikata laifofi bankunya.
And as troops of robbers lie in wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way of Shechem; yea, they commit lewdness.
10 Na ga wani abu mai bantsoro a gidan Isra’ila. A can Efraim ya miƙa wuya ga karuwanci Isra’ila kuma ta ƙazantu.
In the house of Israel have I seen a horrible thing: the whoredom of Ephraim is there; Israel is defiled.
11 “Ku kuma, ya mutanen Yahuda, na shirya muku ranar girbi. “A duk sa’ad da zan mayar da dukiya wa mutanena,
Also, for thee, Judah, is a harvest appointed, when I shall turn again the captivity of my people.
