Hosea 6
1 “Biuru mondo wadog ir Jehova Nyasaye. Osekidhowa matindo tindo to obiro changowa; osehinyowa to obiro tweyo adhondewa.
Come and let us return unto Jehovah: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.
2 Bangʼ ndalo ariyo obiro duogo chunywa to e odiechiengʼ mar adek obiro resowa, mondo omi wadag kode.
After two days will he revive us; on the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live before his face;
3 Waluonguru Jehova Nyasaye; wadhiuru nyime gi luongo nyinge. Mana kaka chiengʼ wuok, e kaka obiro wuok; enobi irwa mana ka kodh chwiri, mana ka koth mabiro bangʼ chwiri mamiyo lowo bedo mangʼich.”
and we shall know, — we shall follow on to know Jehovah: his going forth is assured as the morning dawn; and he will come unto us as the rain, as the latter rain which watereth the earth.
4 “Angʼo madatimni Efraim? Angʼo ma datim kodi, in Juda? Herani chalo gi ongʼwengʼo mar okinyi, kata gi thoo mar okinyi malal nono ka nyango tegno.
What shall I do unto thee, Ephraim? What shall I do unto thee, Judah? For your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the dew that early passeth away.
5 Emomiyo an kaachiel gi jonabi maga wangʼadou matindo tindo, ne anegou gi weche mawuok e dhoga; buche mane angʼadonu nobiro kuomo mapiyo mana ka mil polo.
Therefore have I hewed [them] by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and my judgment goeth forth as the light.
6 Nimar adwaro ni ukech joweteu, to ok ni uchiwna misango, kendo ngʼeyo Nyasaye ber moloyo misengini miwangʼo pep.
For I delight in loving-kindness, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt-offerings.
7 Mana kaka Adam, giseketho singruok mane atimo kodgi, ne ok gibedo jo-adier koda e ndalono.
But they like Adam have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.
8 Gilead en dala machwo ma jo-mahundu odakie, en dala mosechwerie remb ji.
Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity; it is tracked with blood.
9 Jodolo chalo mana gi jomecho ma pondo ne ji e dir yo, ka girito ngʼat makadho mondo gima. Gineko e yo madhi Shekem, gitimo timbe mahundu makwodo wich.
And as troops of robbers lie in wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way of Shechem; yea, they commit lewdness.
10 Aseneno gima lich e od Israel. Kanyo Efraim osechiwore ne chode kendo Israel osedwanyore.
In the house of Israel have I seen a horrible thing: the whoredom of Ephraim is there; Israel is defiled.
11 “To un bende jo-Juda kinde ma ingʼadonue bura osechopo. “Abiro gwedho ogandana e kinde manaduogie ka gia e twech,
Also, for thee, Judah, is a harvest appointed, when I shall turn again the captivity of my people.
