Hosea 6
1 Come, and let us return unto Yhwh: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.
[In tribulatione sua mane consurgent ad me: Venite, et revertamur ad Dominum,
2 After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.
quia ipse cepit, et sanabit nos; percutiet, et curabit nos.
3 Then shall we know, if we follow on to know Yhwh: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.
Vivificabit nos post duos dies; in die tertia suscitabit nos, et vivemus in conspectu ejus. Sciemus, sequemurque ut cognoscamus Dominum: quasi diluculum præparatus est egressus ejus, et veniet quasi imber nobis temporaneus et serotinus terræ.
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 early dew it goeth away.
Quid faciam tibi, Ephraim? quid faciam tibi, Juda? misericordia vestra quasi nubes matutina, et quasi ros mane pertransiens.
5 Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments are as the light that goeth forth.
Propter hoc dolavi in prophetis; occidi eos in verbis oris mei: et judicia tua quasi lux egredientur.
6 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
Quia misericordiam volui, et non sacrificium; et scientiam Dei plus quam holocausta.
7 But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.
Ipsi autem sicut Adam transgressi sunt pactum: ibi prævaricati sunt in me.
8 Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity, and is polluted with blood.
Galaad civitas operantium idolum, supplantata sanguine.
9 And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way by consent: for they commit lewdness.
Et quasi fauces virorum latronum, particeps sacerdotum, in via interficientium pergentes de Sichem: quia scelus operati sunt.
10 I have seen an horrible thing in the house of Israel: there is the whoredom of Ephraim, Israel is defiled.
In domo Israël vidi horrendum: ibi fornicationes Ephraim, contaminatus est Israël.
11 Also, O Judah, he hath set an harvest for thee, when I returned the captivity of my people.
Sed et Juda, pone messem tibi, cum convertero captivitatem populi mei.]
