Hosea 6
1 Come, let us return to the LORD. For He has torn us to pieces, but He will heal us; He has wounded us, but He will bind up our wounds.
Antao, himpoly am’ Iehovà tika; Ie ty nandrimitse, naho ie ty hampijangañe antika, Ie ty namofoke, naho ie ty hampidiañe antika.
2 After two days He will revive us; on the third day He will raise us up, that we may live in His presence.
Afake roe andro le hampiveloma’e, amy andro fahateloy ro hampitroara’e, himoneñan-tika am-pivazohoa’e eo.
3 So let us know— let us press on to know the LORD. As surely as the sun rises, He will appear; He will come to us like the rain, like the spring showers that water the earth.
Le hahafohiñe tika, naho himane hahafohiñe Iehovà; Mionjoñe re manahake ty manjirik’àndro; le hivotrak’ amantika manahake o orañeo, i oram-pigadoñañey, naho i orañe aolo an-tane atoiy.
4 What shall I do with you, O Ephraim? What shall I do with you, O Judah? For your loyalty is like a morning mist, like the early dew that vanishes.
Ry Efraime, ino ty hanoako ama’o? Ry Iehodà, ino ty hanoako azo? Hoe mika ty hasoa’o; mimeatse añe te maraindray manahake o misafononokeo.
5 Therefore I have hewn them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of My mouth, and My judgments go forth like lightning.
Aa le nihatsafeko amo mpitokio, nizamaneko am-pivolam-bavako; hoe fipelaran-kelatse ty fizakañ’ azo.
6 For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.
Toe fiferenaiñañe ty paiako, fa tsy soroñe; naho ty fahafohinañe an’Andrianañahare te amo engan-koroañeo.
7 But they, like Adam, have transgressed the covenant; there they were unfaithful to Me.
Fe manahake i Dame t’ie nivalike amy fañinay; izay ty niolà’ iareo amako.
8 Gilead is a city of evildoers, tracked with footprints of blood.
Rova’ o mpikitro-draha ratio t’i Gilade, tsitsike lian-dio.
9 Like raiders who lie in ambush, so does a band of priests; they murder on the way to Shechem; surely they have committed atrocities.
Hoe firimbo-malaso mivoñoñe ondaty, ty fañohofa’ i fivorim-pisoroñey loza an-tevan-dala’ i Sekème eo; toe haloloañe ty anoe’ iereo;
10 In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing: Ephraim practices prostitution there, and Israel is defiled.
Naharendreke haleorañe añ’anjomba’ Israele ao iraho; zoeñe e Efraime ao ty hatsimirirañe, naho naniva vatañe t’Israele.
11 Also for you, O Judah, a harvest is appointed, when I restore My people from captivity.
F’ie nifotoañeko san-kavokaran- drehe r’Iehodà, ie hampoliko ty fandrohizañe ondatikoo.
