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.
“Kottaa gara Waaqayyootti deebinaa. Inni nu ciccireera; garuu nu fayyisa; inni nu madeesseera; garuu madaa keenya ni waldhaana.

Kottaa Waaqayyoon haa beeknu; isa beekuufis haa tattaaffannu. Akkuma aduun dhugumaan baatu sana inni dhugumaan ni dhufa; inni akkuma bokkaa gannaa, akkuma bokkaa birraa kan lafa quubsu sanaatti gara keenya ni dhufa.

Kanaafuu ani raajota kootiin isin cicciree dubbii afaan kootiin isin fixe; murtiin koos akkuma aduu ni baʼa.
6 For piety I desired, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God, more than burnt-offerings.
Ani araaran fedha malee aarsaa hin fedhuutii; aarsaa gubamu caalaa Waaqa beekuu nan fedha.
7 But they, like an ordinary man, have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.
Isaan akkuma Addaam kakuu cabsaniiru; achittis anaaf hin amanamne.
8 Gil'ad is become a city of workers of wickedness, is full of traces of blood.
Giliʼaad magaalaa hamootaa kan dhiigaan faalamtee dha.
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.
Akkuma saamtuun riphxee nama eeggattu sana, gareen lubootaas akkasuma godhu; isaan yakka qaanessaa hojjechuudhaan karaa Sheekem irratti nama ajjeesu.
10 On the house of Israel have I seen a horrible thing: there is lewdness in Ephraim, Israel is become defiled.

11 Also for thee, O Judah, will a harvest be prepared, when I bring back the captivity of my people.
