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 up our wounds.
“Biuru mondo wadog ir Jehova Nyasaye. Osekidhowa matindo tindo to obiro changowa; osehinyowa to obiro tweyo adhondewa.
2 He will revive us after two days: on the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his presence.
Bangʼ ndalo ariyo obiro duogo chunywa to e odiechiengʼ mar adek obiro resowa, mondo omi wadag kode.
3 And let us feel it, that we may strive to know the Lord; bright as the morning-dawn is his rising; and he will come as the rain unto us, as the latter rain that maketh fruitful the earth.”
Waluonguru Jehova Nyasaye; wadhiuru nyime gi luongo nyinge. Mana kaka chiengʼ wuok, e kaka obiro wuok; enobi irwa mana ka kodh chwiri, mana ka koth mabiro bangʼ chwiri mamiyo lowo bedo mangʼich.”
4 What shall I do unto thee, O Ephraim? what shall I do unto thee, O Judah? for your piety is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew that passeth away.
“Angʼo madatimni Efraim? Angʼo ma datim kodi, in Juda? Herani chalo gi ongʼwengʼo mar okinyi, kata gi thoo mar okinyi malal nono ka nyango tegno.
5 Therefore did I hew [them] down by means of the prophets; I slew them by the words of my mouth: and thy punishments go forth like the light.
Emomiyo an kaachiel gi jonabi maga wangʼadou matindo tindo, ne anegou gi weche mawuok e dhoga; buche mane angʼadonu nobiro kuomo mapiyo mana ka mil polo.
6 For piety I desired, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God, more than burnt-offerings.
Nimar adwaro ni ukech joweteu, to ok ni uchiwna misango, kendo ngʼeyo Nyasaye ber moloyo misengini miwangʼo pep.
7 But they, like an ordinary man, have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.
Mana kaka Adam, giseketho singruok mane atimo kodgi, ne ok gibedo jo-adier koda e ndalono.
8 Gil'ad is become a city of workers of wickedness, is full of traces of blood.
Gilead en dala machwo ma jo-mahundu odakie, en dala mosechwerie remb ji.
9 And as troops that lie in wait for a man, so is the band of priests, they murder on the way in unison; for they commit scandalous deeds.
Jodolo chalo mana gi jomecho ma pondo ne ji e dir yo, ka girito ngʼat makadho mondo gima. Gineko e yo madhi Shekem, gitimo timbe mahundu makwodo wich.
10 On the house of Israel have I seen a horrible thing: there is lewdness in Ephraim, Israel is become defiled.
Aseneno gima lich e od Israel. Kanyo Efraim osechiwore ne chode kendo Israel osedwanyore.
11 Also for thee, O Judah, will a harvest be prepared, when I bring back the captivity of my people.
“To un bende jo-Juda kinde ma ingʼadonue bura osechopo. “Abiro gwedho ogandana e kinde manaduogie ka gia e twech,
