< 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 strike, and bind us up.
I NA kakou e hoi hou aku ia Iehova, No ka mea, ua haehae mai kela, a e hoola mai ia ia kakou; Ua hahau mai ia, a e hoola mai no oia ia kakou.
2 After two days he will heal us: in the third day we shall arise, and live before him, and shall know [him]:
Mahope o na la elua e hoola mai ia ia kakou: I ke kolu o ka la e hooku mai ia ia kakou iluna, A e ola kakou imua ona.
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.
Alaila e ike kakou, ke hahai kakou e ike ia Iehova; Ua makaukau kona hele ana'ku, e like me ka wanaao: A e hele mai ia ia kakou e like me ka ua; E like me ke kuaua mua, a me ke kuaua hope maluna o ka honua.
4 What shall I do to you, Ephraim? What shall I do to you, Juda? whereas your mercy is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew that goes away.
E Eperaima, heaha ka'u e hana aku ai ia oe? E Iuda, heaha ka'u e hana aku ai ia oe? No ka mea, o ka oukou pono, na like me ke ao kakahiaka, A ua like me ka hau e nalo koke ana.
5 Therefore have I mown down your prophets; I have slain them with the word of my mouth: and my judgement shall go forth as the light.
No ia mea, ua kalai aku au ia lakou ma na kaula; Ua pepehi aku au ia lakou ma na olelo a kuu waha: A e puka aku kou hoohewaia e like me ka malamalama.
6 For I will [have] mercy rather than sacrifice, and the knowledge of God rather than whole burnt offerings.
No ka mea, o ke aloha ko'u makemake, aole ka mohai; A o ka ike i ke Akua mamua o na mohaikuni.
7 But they are as a man transgressing a covenant:
Aka, e like me kanaka, ua hai ia lakou ka berita: Ilaila ua hana hoopunipuni mai lakou ia'u.
8 there the city Galaad despised me, working vanity, troubling water.
O Gileada ke kulanakauhale o ka poe hana hewa, i hahiia i na kapuwai koko.
9 And your 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.
E like me ka poe hao wale e hoohalua ana i ke kanaka; Pela no ka poe kahuna i pepehi wale ma ke ala o Sekema; No ka mea, ke hana nei lakou i ka mea ino.
10 I have seen horrible [things] there, [even] the fornication of Ephraim: Israel and Juda are defiled;
Maloko o ka ohana a Iseraela ua ike au i ka mea weliweli; Malaila ka moe kolohe o Eperaima, Ua haumia ka Iseraela:
11 begin together grapes for yourself, when I turn the captivity of my people.
Nou hoi, e ka Iuda, ua makaukau ka ohi ai ana.
