< Hosea 6 >

1 “Come on! Let's go back to the Lord. He has torn us to pieces, but now he will heal us. He has struck us down, but now he will bind up our wounds.
Na mwet uh fahk, “Lela kut in folokla nu yurin LEUM GOD! El sekuti, ac El ac fah akkeyekutla. El kantekuti, tuh El ac fah pwelah kinet kacsr uh.
2 In two days he will heal us; after three days he will raise us up so we can live in his presence.
Inmasrlon len luo ku tolu, El ac akmoulyekutyak, ac kut ac sifilpa muta yorol.
3 Let's get to know the Lord, really strive to know him, and he will appear to us as surely as the sun will rise; he will come to us as certainly as the spring rains fall on the earth.”
Lela kut in srike in etu LEUM GOD. Pwayena lah El ac tuku nu yorosr oana ke faht uh takak ke lotutang nukewa, ac oana ke af uh ac kahki meet liki pacl in fokla fokinsak uh.”
4 Ephraim, what shall I do with you? Judah, what shall I do with you? Your love disappears like mist at dawn; it vanishes like dew in the morning.
Tusruktu LEUM GOD El fahk, “Israel ac Judah, mea nga ac oru nu suwos uh? Lungse lowos nu sik uh sa na wanginla oana ohk ke kusrun len, ac oana aunfong su sa na in wanginla ke lotutang.
5 So I cut you down through the prophets; I killed you with my words. My judgment shines out like a light.
Pa inge sripa se sis nga supwaot mwet palu luk in fahkak kas in nununku ac kunausla nu suwos. Ma nga enenu suwos uh arulana kalem:
6 I want your true love, not your sacrifices; I want you to know me, not your burnt offerings.
Nga enenu lungse kawil lowos, ac tia mwe kisa ke kosro. Wona sik mwet luk uh in eteyu, liki na elos in orek kisa firir nu sik.
7 But you, just like Adam, broke our agreement, there you were unfaithful to me.
“Tusruk, in pacl se na elos utyak nu in acn Adam, elos kunausla wuleang luk su nga orala yorolos.
8 Gilead is a city of evil people where footprints are tracked in blood.
Siti Gilead sie acn su tingtingi ke mwet koluk ac mwet akmas.
9 Priests are like a gang of bandits, lying in wait to ambush travelers on the road. They commit murder in Shechem, carrying out wicked crimes.
Mwet tol elos oana u in mwet sulallal su wikwik in soano mwet. Finne inkanek nu yen mutal in acn Shechem, elos orek akmas pac we. Elos pwapani in oru ma koluk inge nukewa.
10 I have seen in the house of Israel something totally disgusting: Ephraim engages in prostitution and Israel is sexually corrupt.
Nga liye sie ma arulana koluk in Israel: mwet luk elos tiana pwaye nu sik ke sripen elos alu nu ke ma sruloala.
11 And as for you, Judah, your harvest-time has been set! When I restore the fortunes of my people,
“Ac nu suwos mwet Judah, nga oakiya tari sie pacl in kai nu suwos ke sripen orekma lowos.
