Hoseya 6
1 “Bwerani, tiyeni tibwerere kwa Yehova. Iye watikhadzula, koma adzatichiritsa. Iye wativulaza, koma adzamanga mabala athu.
'Come, and let us return unto the LORD; for He hath torn, and He will heal us, He hath smitten, and He will bind us up.
2 Pakapita masiku awiri adzatitsitsimutsa; pa tsiku lachitatu Iye adzatiukitsa kuti tikhale ndi moyo pamaso pake.
After two days will He revive us, on the third day He will raise us up, that we may live in His presence.
3 Tiyeni timudziwe Yehova, tiyeni tilimbike kumudziwa Iye. Adzabwera kwa ife mosakayikira konse ngati kutuluka kwa dzuwa; adzabwera kwa ife ngati mvula ya mʼchilimwe, ngati mvula ya nthawi yamphukira imene imakhathamiritsa nthaka.”
And let us know, eagerly strive to know the LORD, His going forth is sure as the morning; and He shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter rain that watereth the earth.'
4 Iwe Efereimu, kodi ndichite nawe chiyani? Kodi ndichite nawe chiyani, iwe Yuda? Chikondi chanu chili ngati nkhungu yammawa, ngati mame a mmamawa amene amakamuka msanga.
O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the dew that early passeth away.
5 Choncho ndakuwazani ngati nkhuni kudzera mwa aneneri anga, ndakuphani ndi mawu a pakamwa panga; chigamulo changa chinangʼanima ngati mphenzi pa inu.
Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets, I have slain them by the words of My mouth; and thy judgment goeth forth as the light.
6 Pakuti Ine ndimafuna chifundo osati nsembe, ndi kudziwa Mulungu kulekana ndi nsembe zopsereza.
For I desire mercy, and not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God rather than burnt-offerings.
7 Monga Adamu, anthuwa aphwanya pangano langa, iwo sanakhulupirike kwa Ine.
But they like men have transgressed the covenant; there have they dealt treacherously against Me.
8 Giliyadi ndi mzinda wa anthu ochita zoyipa, okhala ndi zizindikiro za kuphana.
Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity, it is covered with footprints of blood.
9 Monga momwe mbala zimadikirira anthu, magulu a ansembe amachitanso motero; iwo amapha anthu pa njira yopita ku Sekemu, kupalamula milandu yochititsa manyazi.
And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so doth the company of priests; they murder in the way toward Shechem; yea, they commit enormity.

In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing; there harlotry is found in Ephraim, Israel is defiled.
11 “Kunenanso za iwe Yuda, udzakolola chilango. “Pamene ndiwabwezere anthu anga zinthu zabwino.”
