Hosea 6
1 Come, let us go back to the Lord; for he has given us wounds and he will make us well; he has given blows and he will give help.
Vini, annou retounen kote SENYÈ a; paske li te chire nou, men Li va geri nou. Li te blese nou, men Li va panse nou.
2 After two days he will give us life, and on the third day he will make us get up, and we will be living before him.
Li va fè nou vin refè apre de jou; Nan twazyèm jou a Li va fè nou leve. Konsa, nou va viv devan Li.
3 And let us have knowledge, let us go after the knowledge of the Lord; his going out is certain as the dawn, his decisions go out like the light; he will come to us like the rain, like the spring rain watering the earth.
Annou rekonèt SENYÈ a; annou refize lage pou nou ka konnen SENYÈ a. Aparans Li asire tankou solèy k ap leve granmmaten. Konsa, Li va vini sou nou tankou lapli, tankou lapli prentan k ap wouze latè.
4 O Ephraim, what am I to do to you? O Judah, what am I to do to you? For your love is like a morning cloud, and like the dew which goes early away.
Kisa pou M fè ak ou, O Éphraïm? Kisa pou M fè ak ou, O Juda? Paske fidelite ou tankou nwaj nan maten, tankou farinay ki disparèt bonè.
5 So I have had it cut in stones; I gave them teaching by the words of my mouth;
Akoz sa, Mwen te taye yo an mòso ak pwofèt yo; Mwen te touye yo ak pawòl bouch Mwen. Jijman Ou yo se tankou loray k ap tire.
6 Because my desire is for mercy and not offerings; for the knowledge of God more than for burned offerings.
Paske, Mwen pito mizerikòd olye sakrifis, epi konesans Bondye a plis ke ofrann brile.
7 But like a man, they have gone against the agreement; there they were false to me.
Men yo menm, tankou Adam te kase transgresyon akò a. La, yo pa t fidèl anvè Mwen.
8 Gilead is a town of evil-doers, marked with blood.
Galaad se yon vil ki plen ak malfektè, plen ak tach san.
9 And like a band of thieves waiting for a man, so are the priests watching secretly the way of those going quickly to Shechem, for they are working with an evil design.
Epi tankou bandi k ap tann yon moun; konsa, yon twoup prèt asasine moun sou wout pou rive Sichem nan. Se gwo krim y ap fè.
10 In Israel I have seen a very evil thing; there false ways are seen in Ephraim, Israel is unclean;
Nan lakay Israël, Mwen te wè yon move bagay. Gen pwostitisyon nan Éphraïm. Israël souye pwòp tèt li.
11 And Judah has put up disgusting images for himself.
Ou menm tou, O Juda! Gen yon rekòlt ki deja apwente pou ou menm, lè Mwen retabli byennèt pèp Mwen an.
