Anyone know what language this is and what it means?

I'm zeroing in on it. The Ukrainian keyboard fits all the letters.

I believe it's a quote from the Bible and I believe Hoba is spirit.

I just have to find a Ukrainian friend that can read it.

I also think the 3 has something to do with the Trinity.
 

Try Finnish or Igbo Camper, it looks like that
kind of language, I don't know all the letters
in the sample.

I thought it was Finnish at first and tried the Finnish keyboard.

I could not find the reversed "r" letter. The only keyboard I could find it in was in the Ukrainian keyboard. Those single letters are not like English. They are sounds.

Most West-European languages like English, French and German use the Latin alphabet. East-Slavic language such as Russian and Ukrainian don't. Instead they use the Cyrillic script. In the same way that there are small differences between the French and English alphabets, the Russian and Ukrainian alphabets differ from each other as well. For example, the Ukrainian letters Ґ, Є, І and Ї don't occur in Russian. Planning on learning Russian and Ukrainian myself, I'll share what I learned so far about the different ways you can type in Russian or Ukrainian on a computer.

I asked Google for text samples from different countries,
but I didn't get a match, plus I don't know if the 3 is a &,
nor do I recognise other symbols.

Try Estonia, that is next door to Finland.

Here you go...
In 19 states—mainly in the South, Southwest, and Midwest—where corporal punishment is legal, teachers and school officials have wide discretion in how and when to apply such discipline. That’s because of a 1977 Supreme Court case, Ingraham v. Wright, which found that spanking in schools does not violate students’ rights, specifically the Eighth Amendment’s “cruel and unusual punishment” clause and the Fourteenth Amendment’s right to due process.

Nationally, 31 states and the District of Columbia have banned the practice, along with many large urban school districts like Houston, Memphis, and Atlanta in states where paddling is still allowed. Even so, reports of physical discipline in schools persist in states where it’s legally banned, such as Maryland.
 
It is horrifying that in this day and age, physically assaulting a child in order to assert "discipline" is still accepted by some, as being OK.

I grew up in New Jersey and taught school there. In that state, a teacher was absolutely forbidden to lay a hand on a child in punishment. And this is going back to the mid-20th century, maybe earlier! As a teacher, I was able to have an orderly classroom without ever feeling the need to punish a child physically.

I think those who are in favor of this practice are usually those who were abused themselves as children.

To get back to the original question about that spoon, has anybody come up with an answer yet?

(Ukrainian – Ackahia-Hoba)

It's not Ackahia. It's Ackahi "r" with the backward r which is in the Ukrainian and Russian alphabet. It's pronounced "ya".
The 3 is letter z. I'm leaning toward Ukrainian because of the illustration of the girl. A lot of places that can translate for me are closed right now . I'm still working on it online.I tried camera translator. No dice. We need a rosetta stone.
 
The way it's written on the paddle isn't the way it's pronounced in English.

For instance the H is an N and pronounced en.

So even if you could translate the sounds you have to be able to pronounce it properly to be understood. That's if I'm correct that it's Ukrainian or Russian in the first place.
