Hosea 6
1 Come and let us return unto Jehovah: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.
Pèp la di: -Annou wè non! Ann tounen al jwenn Seyè a! Se li menm ki blese nou, se li menm ankò ki ka geri nou! Se li ki mete san nou deyò, se li ki ka mete renmèd sou malenng nou yo.
2 After two days will he revive us; on the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live before his face;
Apre de jou, l'a ban nou lavi ankò. Sou twazyèm jou a, l'a fè nou kanpe ankò, n'a viv ankò devan je l'.
3 and we shall know, — we shall follow on to know Jehovah: his going forth is assured as the morning dawn; and he will come unto us as the rain, as the latter rain which watereth the earth.
N'a konnen Seyè a, n'a toujou chache konnen Seyè a pi byen. Tankou nou sèten solèy la gen pou l' leve, konsa tou nou sèten n'ap jwenn li. Tankou nou sèten lapli gen pou l' wouze latè lè sezon l' rive, konsa tou nou sèten l'ap vin jwenn nou.
4 What shall I do unto thee, Ephraim? What shall I do unto thee, Judah? For your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the dew that early passeth away.
Seyè a di: -Nou menm moun Efrayim, kisa pou m' fè ak nou? Nou menm moun Jida, kisa pou m' fè ak nou? Nou renmen m', se vre. Men se pou yon ti tan. Ou ta di yon ti nwaj ki pase anvan solèy leve. Wi, tankou lawouze ki disparèt anvan solèy fin leve.
5 Therefore have I hewed [them] by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and my judgment goeth forth as the light.
Se poutèt sa mwen voye pwofèt mwen yo pou manyè pini nou. Mwen mete pawòl nan bouch yo ki ta kont pou touye nou. Mwen fè nou konnen sa mwen vle nou fè, mwen mete l' aklè devan nou.
6 For I delight in loving-kindness, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt-offerings.
Mwen ta pito wè nou renmen m' tout bon pase pou n'ap fè tout ofrann bèt sa yo ban mwen. Mwen ta pito wè nou chache konnen m' vre, mwen menm Bondye nou an, pase pou n'ap boule tout bèt sa yo pou mwen.
7 But they like Adam have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.
Men, yo menm, rive yo rive Adam, yo pa kenbe kontra mwen te pase ak yo a. Lamenm, yo vire do ban mwen, yo pa kenbe pawòl yo.
8 Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity; it is tracked with blood.
Galarad se yon lavil ki plen moun k'ap fè mechanste. Kote ou pase, se mak san moun yo touye.
9 And as troops of robbers lie in wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way of Shechem; yea, they commit lewdness.
Prèt yo menm, se tankou yon bann ansasen k'ap veye moun sou granchemen. Sou tout wout ki mennen lavil Sichèm, se touye y'ap touye moun. Yo konnen byen pwòp tou sa y'ap fè a mal. Atousa yo fè l'.
10 In the house of Israel have I seen a horrible thing: the whoredom of Ephraim is there; Israel is defiled.
Mwen wè yo fè nan peyi Izrayèl la yon bagay ki fè m' tranble: Moun Efrayim yo lage kò yo nan sèvi zidòl. Moun Izrayèl yo ap fè bagay ki mete yo nan kondisyon yo pa ka fè sèvis pou mwen.
11 Also, for thee, Judah, is a harvest appointed, when I shall turn again the captivity of my people.
Men, pou nou menm tou, moun peyi Jida, mwen fikse yon jou pou pini nou pou tou sa nou fè, lè m'a fè moun yo depòte yo tounen nan peyi yo.
