Osee 6
1 In their affliction they will seek me early, saying, Let us go, and return to the Lord our God; for he has torn, and will heal us; he will smite, and bind us up.
Boya, tozonga epai na Yawe! Akati-kati biso solo na biteni, kasi akobikisa biso; azokisaki biso, kasi akotia kisi na bapota na biso.
2 After two days he will heal us: in the third day we shall arise, and live before him, and shall know [him]:
Sima na mikolo mibale, akopesa biso lisusu bomoi; na mokolo ya misato, akotelemisa biso lisusu mpo ete tozala na bomoi liboso na Ye.
3 let us follow on to know the Lord: we shall find him ready as the morning, and he will come to us as the early and latter rain to the earth.
Toyeba Yawe, toluka penza koyeba Ye; ndenge tongo etanaka solo, ndenge wana mpe akomonana: akoya epai na biso lokola mvula, lokola mvula oyo enokaka na pwasa mpe epolisaka mabele.
4 What shall I do unto thee, Ephraim? What shall I do to thee, Juda? whereas your mercy is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew that goes away.
Efrayimi, nasala yo lisusu nini? Yuda, nasala yo lisusu nini? Bolingo na bino mpo na Ngai ezali lokola londende ya tongo, lokola mamwe oyo elimwaka noki.
5 Therefore have I mown down your prophets; I have slain them with the word of my mouth: and my judgment shall go forth as the light.
Yango wana, na maloba ya basakoli na Ngai, nazali kokata-kata bino na biteni; na maloba ya monoko na Ngai, nazali koboma bino, mpe bitumbu ezali kokweyela bino lokola mokalikali.
6 For I will [have] mercy rather than sacrifice, and the knowledge of God rather than whole-burnt-offerings.
Pamba te nasepelaka na boboto koleka mbeka, mpe na boyebi ya Nzambe koleka mbeka ya kotumba.
7 But they are as a man transgressing a covenant:
Ndenge kaka Adamu asalaki, bango mpe babukaki boyokani na Ngai; kuna, bazalaki sembo te liboso na Ngai.
8 there the city Galaad despised me, working vanity, troubling water.
Galadi ezali engumba ya bato mabe, etonda na bilembo ya makila.
9 And thy strength [is that] of a robber: the priests have hid the way, they have murdered [the people of] Sicima; for they have wrought iniquity in the house of Israel.
Ndenge babomi babombamaka mpo na koluka kosala bato mabe, ndenge wana mpe Banganga-Nzambe basalaka: babomaka bato na nzela ya Sishemi; ezali likambo ya somo penza!
10 I have seen horrible [things] there, [even] the fornication of Ephraim: Israel and Juda are defiled;
Kati na libota ya Isalaele, namonaki makambo ya somo makasi: Efrayimi amipesaki na kindumba, mpe Isalaele akomaki mbindo.
11 begin together grapes for thyself, when I turn the captivity of my people.
Yo mpe lisusu, Yuda, tango ya kobuka mbuma ebongisami mpo na yo, sima na Ngai kozongisa bomengo ya bato na Ngai.
