Hosea 6
1 'Come, and let us return unto the LORD; 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, that we may live in His presence.
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 let us know, eagerly strive to know the LORD, His going forth is sure as the morning; and He shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter rain that 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 O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? 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 thy 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 desire mercy, and not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God rather than burnt-offerings.
Pamba te nasepelaka na boboto koleka mbeka, mpe na boyebi ya Nzambe koleka mbeka ya kotumba.
7 But they like men 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 covered with footprints of blood.
Galadi ezali engumba ya bato mabe, etonda na bilembo ya makila.
9 And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so doth the company of priests; they murder in the way toward Shechem; yea, they commit enormity.
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 I have seen a horrible thing; there harlotry is found in Ephraim, Israel is defiled.
Kati na libota ya Isalaele, namonaki makambo ya somo makasi: Efrayimi amipesaki na kindumba, mpe Isalaele akomaki mbindo.
11 Also, O Judah, there is a harvest appointed for thee! When I would turn 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.
