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.
“Uyai tidzokere kuna Jehovha. Akatibvambura kutiita zvidimbu zvidimbu, asi achatiporesa; akatikuvadza, asi achasungazve mavanga edu.
2 After two days will he revive us; on the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live before his face;
Mushure mamazuva maviri achatimutsiridza; pazuva rechitatu achatidzorazve, kuti tirarame pamberi pake.
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.
Ngatimuzivei iye Jehovha; ngatishingairirei kumuziva. Zvirokwazvo sokubuda kwezuva, achaonekwa; achauya kwatiri semvura yomuchando, semvura yebumharutsva inodiridza nyika.”
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.
“Ndichaiteiko newe, Efuremu? Ndichaiteiko newe, Judha? Rudo rwenyu rwakafanana nemhute yamangwanani, sedova ramangwanani rinopera.
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.
Naizvozvo ndinokugurai ndichikuitai zvidimbu zvidimbu navaprofita vangu, ndakakuurayai namashoko omuromo wangu, kutonga kwangu kwakapenya semheni kwamuri.
6 For I delight in loving-kindness, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt-offerings.
Nokuti ndinoda ngoni, kwete zvibayiro, nokuziva Mwari kupfuura zvipiriso zvinopiswa.
7 But they like Adam have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.
SaAdhamu, vakaputsa sungano, vakanga vasina kutendeka kwandiri ipapo.
8 Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity; it is tracked with blood.
Gireadhi iguta ravarume vakaipa, rakasvibiswa norunyoro rwetsoka dzeropa.
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.
Samakororo anovandira munhu, ndizvo zvinoita boka ravaprista. Vanouraya vanhu panzira inoenda kuShekemu, vachipara mhosva dzinonyadzisa.
10 In the house of Israel have I seen a horrible thing: the whoredom of Ephraim is there; Israel is defiled.
Ndakaona chinhu chakaipa kwazvo muimba yaIsraeri. Imomo Efuremu anoita ufeve uye Israeri anosvibiswa.
11 Also, for thee, Judah, is a harvest appointed, when I shall turn again the captivity of my people.
“Nokwauriwo iwe, Judha, kukohwa kwatarwa. “Pose pandichadzorera maropafadzo avanhu vangu.
