Hosiya 13
1 Sa’ad da Efraim ya yi magana, mutane sun yi rawan jiki; an girmama shi a cikin Isra’ila. Amma sai ya zama mai laifi na yin wa Ba’al sujada, ya kuwa mutu.
When Ephraim spake trembling, he exalted himself in Israel; but when he offended in Baal, he died.
2 Yanzu sai yin zunubi a kai a kai suke; suna yin gumaka wa kansu daga azurfansu, da wayo suna sarrafa siffofi, dukansu aikin masu aikin hannu ne. Ana magana waɗannan mutane cewa, “Suna miƙa hadayar mutum su kuma sumbaci gumakan maruƙa.”
And now they sin more and more, and have made them molten images of their silver, [and] idols according to their own understanding, all of it the work of the craftsmen: they say of them, Let the men that sacrifice kiss the calves.
3 Saboda haka za su zama kamar hazon safiya, kamar raɓar safen da yakan kakkaɓe, kamar ƙaiƙayin da ake tankaɗe daga masussuka, kamar hayaƙin da yake fita daga taga.
Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud, and as the early dew that passeth away, as the chaff [that] is driven with the whirlwind out of the floor, and as the smoke out of the chimney.
4 “Amma ni ne Ubangiji Allahnku, wanda ya fitar da ku daga Masar. Ba za ku yarda da wani Allah ba sai ni, ba wani Mai Ceto in ban da ni.
Yet I [am] the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no god but me: for [there is] no saviour beside me.
5 Na lura da ku a hamada, cikin ƙasar mai ƙunar zafi.
I did know thee in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.
6 Sa’ad da na ciyar da su sun ƙoshi; sa’ad da suka ƙoshi, sai suka fara taƙama; sai suka manta da ni.
According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten me.
7 Saboda haka zan hau kansu kamar zaki, zan ɓuya a bakin hanya kamar damisa.
Therefore I will be unto them as a lion: as a leopard by the way will I observe [them: ]
8 Kamar beyar da aka ƙwace mata’ya’yanta, zan fāɗa musu in ɓarke su. Kamar zaki zan cinye su; kamar naman jeji zan yayyage su.
I will meet them as a bear [that is] bereaved [of her whelps], and will rend the caul of their heart, and there will I devour them like a lion: the wild beast shall tear them.
9 “An hallaka ku, ya Isra’ila, domin kun tayar mini, kun tayar wa mai taimakonku.
O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in me [is] thine help.
10 Ina sarkinku, da zai cece ku? Ina masu mulkinku cikin dukan garuruwanku, waɗanda kuka ce, ‘Ba mu sarki da shugabanni’?
I will be thy king: where [is any other] that may save thee in all thy cities? and thy judges of whom thou saidst, Give me a king and princes?
11 Saboda haka cikin fushina na ba ku sarki, kuma cikin hasalata na ɗauke shi.
I gave thee a king in mine anger, and took [him] away in my wrath.
12 An yi ajiyar laifin Efraim, aka lissafta zunubansa.
The iniquity of Ephraim [is] bound up; his sin [is] hid.
13 Naƙuda ta zo masa kamar a mace mai haihuwa, amma shi yaro ne marar hikima; sa’ad da lokaci ya kai, ba ya zuwa inda mahaifa ta buɗe.
The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him: he [is] an unwise son; for he should not stay long in [the place of] the breaking forth of children.
14 “Zan fanshe su daga ikon kabari; zan cece su daga mutuwa. Ina annobanki, ya mutuwa? Ina hallakarka, ya kabari? “Ba zan ji tausayi ba, (Sheol h7585)
I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes. (Sheol h7585)
15 ko da ma ya ci gaba cikin’yan’uwansa. Iskar gabas daga Ubangiji za tă zo, tana hurawa daga hamada; maɓulɓularsa za tă kafe rijiyarsa kuma ta bushe. Za a kwashi kaya masu daraja na ɗakin ajiyarsa ganima.
Though he be fruitful among [his] brethren, an east wind shall come, the wind of the LORD shall come up from the wilderness, and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up: he shall spoil the treasure of all pleasant vessels.
16 Dole mutanen Samariya su ɗauki laifinsu, domin sun tayar wa Allahnsu. Za a kashe su da takobi; za a fyaɗa ƙananansu da ƙasa, za a ɓarke matansu masu ciki.”
Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.
