Hosea 11
1 When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.
“Sa’ad da Isra’ila yake yaro, na ƙaunace shi, daga Masar kuma na kira ɗana.
2 As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed to Baalim, and burned incense to graven images.
Amma yawan kiran da na yi wa Isra’ila haka nesa da ni da suke ta yi. Suka miƙa hadaya ga Ba’al suka kuma ƙona turare ga siffofi.
3 I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them.
Ni ne na koya wa Efraim tafiya ina kama su da hannu; amma ba su gane cewa ni ne na warkar da su ba.
4 I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love: and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I laid food before them.
Na bishe su da linzamin alheri da tausayi, da ragamar ƙauna; Na cire karkiya daga wuyansu na kuma rusuna na ciyar da su.
5 He shall not return into the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to return.
“Ba za su koma Masar ba Assuriya kuma ba za tă yi mulki a bisansu ba saboda sun ƙi su tuba ba?
6 And the sword shall abide on his cities, and shall consume his branches, and devour them, because of their own counsels.
Takuba za su yi ta wulgawa a biranensu, za su hallaka sandunan ƙarafan ƙofofinsu su kuma kawo ƙarshen ƙulle-ƙullensu.
7 And my people are bent to backsliding from me: though they called them to the most High, none at all would exalt him.
Mutanena sun ƙudura su juye daga gare ni. Ko da ma suka yi kira ga Mafi Ɗaukaka, ta ko ƙaƙa ba zai girmama su ba.
8 How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? how shall I deliver thee, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? how shall I set thee as Zeboim? my heart is turned within me, my compassions are kindled together.
“Yaya zan ba da kai, Efraim? Yaya zan miƙa ka, Isra’ila? Yaya zan yi da kai kamar Adma? Yaya zan yi da kai kamar Zeboyim? Zuciyata ta canja a cikina; dukan tausayina ya huru.
9 I will not execute the fierceness of my anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not enter into the city.
Ba zan zartar da fushina mai zafi ba, ba kuwa zan juya in ragargaza Efraim ba. Gama ni Allah ne, ba mutum ba, Mai Tsarki a cikinku. Ba zan zo cikin fushi ba.
10 They shall walk after the LORD: he shall roar like a lion: when he shall roar, then the children shall tremble from the west.
Za su bi Ubangiji; zai yi ruri kamar zaki. Sa’ad da ya yi ruri,’ya’yansa za su zo da rawan jiki daga yamma.
11 They shall tremble as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria: and I will place them in their houses, saith the LORD.
Za su zo da rawan jiki kamar tsuntsaye daga Masar, kamar kurciyoyi daga Assuriya. Zan zaunar da su a cikin gidajensu,” in ji Ubangiji.
12 Ephraim surroundeth me with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful with the saints.
Mutanen Efraim sun kewaye ni da ƙarairayi, gidan Isra’ila da ruɗu. Mutanen Yahuda kuma suna yi wa Allah ƙin ji, har ma a kan Mai Tsarkin nan mai aminci.
