< Hosea 6 >

1 Come, and let us return to Jehovah, for he has torn, and he will heal us. He has smitten, and he will bind us up.
“Umaykayo, agsublitayo kenni Yahweh. Ta rinangrangkaynatayo, ngem paimbagennatayonto; sinugatannatayo, ngem bedbedannanto dagiti sugattayo.
2 After two days he will revive us. On the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live before him.
Kalpasan ti dua nga aldaw ket papigsaennatayonto; pagungarennatayonto iti maikatlo nga aldaw, ket agbiagtayonto iti sangoananna.
3 And let us know, let us follow on to know Jehovah. His going forth is sure as the morning, and he will come to us as the rain, as the latter rain that waters the earth.
Am-ammoentayo ni Yahweh; ikagumaantayo nga am-ammoen ni Yahweh. Ti iyuumayna ket sigurado a kas iti idadateng ti parbangon; umayto isuna kadatayo a kasla arbis, kas iti tudo iti tiempo ti panagrurusing a mangsibog ti daga.”
4 O Ephraim, what shall I do to thee? O Judah, what shall I do to thee? For your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the dew that goes away early.
Efraim, ania ti aramidek kadakayo? Juda, ania ti aramidek kadakayo? Maiyarig ti kinapudnoyo iti angep iti agsapa, a kas iti linnaaw a nasapa a mapukaw.
5 Therefore I have hewed them by the prophets. I have slain them by the words of my mouth. And thy judgments are as the light that goes forth.
Isu a tinupekko ida babaen kadagiti profeta, pinatayko ida babaen kadagiti sasaok. Maiyarig dagiti bilbilinmo iti silaw nga agranranniag.
6 For I desire mercy, and not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
Ta tarigagayak ti kinapudno, saan ket a daton, ken ti ad-adda a pannaka-ammoyo kaniak, a Dios ngem kadagiti daton a mapuoran.
7 But like Adam they have transgressed the covenant. There they have dealt treacherously against me.
Kas kenni Adan, sinalungasingda ti katulagan; saanda a napudno kaniak.
8 Gilead is a city of those who work iniquity; it is stained with blood.
Ti Galaad ket siudad dagiti managdakdakes, napnoan kadagiti tugot iti dara.
9 And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way toward Shechem. Yea, they have committed iniquity.
Kas iti panaguray ti bunggoy dagiti agtatakaw iti maysa a tao, kasta met ti bunggoy dagiti papadi nga agpapatay iti dalan nga agturong idiay Sikem; nagaramidda kadagiti nakababain a krimen.
10 I have seen a horrible thing in the house of Israel. Whoredom is there in Ephraim; Israel is defiled.
Iti balay ti Israel ket nakakitaak iti makarimon a banag; impaay ti Efraim dagiti bagbagida iti panagdayaw kadagiti didiosen, ket narugitan ti Israel.
11 Also, O Judah, there is a harvest appointed for thee when I bring back the captivity of my people.
Kasta met kenka Juda, naitudingen ti panagapit, inton isublik dagiti kinabaknang dagiti tattaok.
