Hosea 6
1 In their affliction they will rise early to me: Come, and let us return to the Lord:
Vini, annou retounen kote SENYÈ a; paske li te chire nou, men Li va geri nou. Li te blese nou, men Li va panse nou.
2 For he hath taken us, and he will heal us: he will strike, and he will cure us.
Li va fè nou vin refè apre de jou; Nan twazyèm jou a Li va fè nou leve. Konsa, nou va viv devan Li.
3 He will revive us after two days: on the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. We shall know, and we shall follow on, that we may know the Lord. His going forth is prepared as the morning light, and he will come to us as the early and the latter rain to the earth.
Annou rekonèt SENYÈ a; annou refize lage pou nou ka konnen SENYÈ a. Aparans Li asire tankou solèy k ap leve granmmaten. Konsa, Li va vini sou nou tankou lapli, tankou lapli prentan k ap wouze latè.
4 What shall I do to thee, O Ephraim? what shall I do to thee, O Juda? your mercy is as a morning cloud, and as the dew that goeth away in the morning.
Kisa pou M fè ak ou, O Éphraïm? Kisa pou M fè ak ou, O Juda? Paske fidelite ou tankou nwaj nan maten, tankou farinay ki disparèt bonè.
5 For this reason have I hewed them by the prophets, I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments shall go forth as the light.
Akoz sa, Mwen te taye yo an mòso ak pwofèt yo; Mwen te touye yo ak pawòl bouch Mwen. Jijman Ou yo se tankou loray k ap tire.
6 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice: and the knowledge of God more than holocausts.
Paske, Mwen pito mizerikòd olye sakrifis, epi konesans Bondye a plis ke ofrann brile.
7 But they, like Adam, have transgressed the covenant, there have they dealt treacherously against me.
Men yo menm, tankou Adam te kase transgresyon akò a. La, yo pa t fidèl anvè Mwen.
8 Galaad is a city of workers of idols, supplanted with blood.
Galaad se yon vil ki plen ak malfektè, plen ak tach san.
9 And like the jaws of highway robbers, they conspire with the priests who murder in the way those that pass out Sichem: for they have wrought wickedness.
Epi tankou bandi k ap tann yon moun; konsa, yon twoup prèt asasine moun sou wout pou rive Sichem nan. Se gwo krim y ap fè.
10 I have seen a horrible thing in the house of Israel: the fornications of Ephraim there: Israel is defiled.
Nan lakay Israël, Mwen te wè yon move bagay. Gen pwostitisyon nan Éphraïm. Israël souye pwòp tèt li.
11 And thou also, O Juda, set thee a harvest, when I shall bring back captivity of my people.
Ou menm tou, O Juda! Gen yon rekòlt ki deja apwente pou ou menm, lè Mwen retabli byennèt pèp Mwen an.
