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.
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 will he revive us; on the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live before his face;
Sima na mikolo mibale, akopesa biso lisusu bomoi; na mokolo ya misato, akotelemisa biso lisusu mpo ete tozala na bomoi liboso na Ye.
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.
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 unto thee, Judah? For your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the dew that early passeth 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 hewed [them] by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and my judgment goeth 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 delight in loving-kindness, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt-offerings.
Pamba te nasepelaka na boboto koleka mbeka, mpe na boyebi ya Nzambe koleka mbeka ya kotumba.
7 But they like Adam have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.
Ndenge kaka Adamu asalaki, bango mpe babukaki boyokani na Ngai; kuna, bazalaki sembo te liboso na Ngai.
8 Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity; it is tracked with blood.
Galadi ezali engumba ya bato mabe, etonda na bilembo ya makila.
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.
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 In the house of Israel have I seen a horrible thing: the whoredom of Ephraim is there; Israel is defiled.
Kati na libota ya Isalaele, namonaki makambo ya somo makasi: Efrayimi amipesaki na kindumba, mpe Isalaele akomaki mbindo.
11 Also, for thee, Judah, is a harvest appointed, when I shall turn again 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.
