Hosiya 7
1 a duka sa’ad da zan warkar da Isra’ila, zunuban Efraim za su tonu za a kuma bayyana laifofin Samariya. Suna ruɗu, ɓarayi sukan fasa su shiga gidaje,’yan fashi sukan yi fashi a tituna;
Should I desire to heal Israel, then would the iniquity of Ephraim and the wickedness of Samaria be laid open; for they commit falsehood; and the thief entereth [secretly], and the troop of robbers is spread abroad without.
2 amma ba su gane cewa na tuna da dukan ayyukan muguntarsu ba. Zunubansu sun kewaye su; kullum suna a gabana.
And they never think in their own heart that I remember all their wickedness: though now their own doings are all round about them; before my face are they present.
3 “Suna faranta wa sarki zuciya da muguntarsu, shugabanni kuma da ƙarairayinsu.
With their wickedness they make the king glad, and with their lies the princes.
4 Dukansu mazinata ne suna ƙuna kamar matoya wadda mai gashin burodi ba ya bukata yă tura mata wuta daga cuɗe kullu har kumburinsa.
They are all adulterers, as an oven well heated by the baker: [when] he that stirreth [the fire] resteth awhile from kneading the dough, until it be leavened.
5 A ranar bikin sarkinmu shugabanni sukan bugu da ruwan inabi, yă yi cuɗanya da masu ba’a.
On the day of our king's [entering on his rule] the princes are made sick with the fumes of wine: [the king] joineth his hand with scorners.
6 Zukatansu suna kamar matoya; sukan kusace shi da wayo. Muguwar aniyarsu takan yi ta ci dukan dare; da safe sai ta ƙuna kamar harshen wuta.
For they make ready their heart for their tricky deeds, like the oven, the baker whereof sleepeth all the night, while in the morning it gloweth as a flaming fire.
7 Dukansu suna da zafi kamar matoya; suna kashe masu mulkinsu. Dukan sarakunansu sukan fāɗi, kuma babu waninsu da yake kira gare ni.
They are all hot as an oven, they devour their judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none among them that calleth unto me.
8 “Efraim yana cuɗanya da al’ummai; Efraim waina ne mai fāɗi da ba a juye ba.
Ephraim mixeth himself indeed among the nations: Ephraim is a cake not turned.
9 Baƙi sun tsotse ƙarfinsa, amma bai gane ba. Gashi kansa ya cika da furfura, amma bai lura ba.
Strangers devour his strength, and he knoweth it not: yea, gray hairs are sprinkled about on his [head], yet he knoweth not.
10 Girmankan Isra’ila ya ba da shaida a kansa, amma duk da haka bai dawo ga Ubangiji Allahnsa ko yă neme shi ba.
And humbled was the pride of Israel before his own face; but they did not return to the Lord their God, and sought him not, notwithstanding all this.
11 “Efraim yana kama da kurciya, marar wayo, marar hankali, yanzu yana kira ga Masar, yanzu yana juyewa ga Assuriya.
And Ephraim is become like a silly dove without understanding: Egypt did they call hither, to Assyria did they go.
12 Sa’ad da suka tafi, zan jefa ragata a kansu; zai janye su ƙasa kamar tsuntsayen sararin sama. Sa’ad da na ji suna tafiya tare, zan kama su.
As they go, so will I spread out my net over them; as the fowls of the heaven will I bring them down: I will chastise them, as it hath been announced to their congregation.
13 Kaitonsu, domin sun kauce daga gare ni! Hallaka za tă aukar musu, domin sun tayar mini! Na ƙudura in cece su amma suna faɗar ƙarya a kaina.
Woe unto them! for they have fled from me; destruction shall come unto them, because they have transgressed against me: though I desired to redeem them, they yet spoke lies against me.
14 Ba sa yin mini kuka da zuciyarsu amma suna ihu a kan gadajensu. Sukan taru wurin ɗaya don hatsi da ruwan inabi amma su juya mini baya.
And they cried not unto me with their heart, when they howled upon their beds: for corn and new wine they assemble themselves, and they rebel against me.
15 Na horar da su na kuma ƙarfafa su, amma sun ƙulla mini maƙarƙashiya.
And I desired to instruct and to strengthen their arms; yet would they devise evil against me.
16 Ba sa juya ga Mafi Ɗaukaka; suna kama da tanƙwararren baka. Za a kashe shugabanninsu da takobi saboda banzan maganganunsu. Saboda wannan za a wulaƙanta su a ƙasar Masar.
They never return upward: they are like a deceitful bow: by the sword shall their princes fall because of the rage of their tongue; this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
