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.
“Ẹ wá, ẹ jẹ́ kí a padà sọ́dọ̀ Olúwa ó ti fà wá ya pẹ́rẹpẹ̀rẹ ṣùgbọ́n yóò mú wa láradá Ó ti pa wá lára ṣùgbọ́n yóò dí ojú ọgbẹ́ wa.
2 He will revive us after two days: on the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his presence.
Lẹ́yìn ọjọ́ méjì, yóò sọ wá jí ní ọjọ́ kẹta yóò mú wa padà bọ̀ sípò kí a ba à le wá gbé níwájú rẹ̀.
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.”
Ẹ jẹ́ kí a mọ Olúwa; ẹ jẹ́ kí a tẹ̀síwájú láti mọ̀ ọ́n. Gẹ́gẹ́ bí oòrùn ṣe ń yọ, yóò jáde; yóò tọ̀ wá wá bí òjò, bí òjò àkọ́rọ̀ ti ń bomirin ilẹ̀.”
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.
“Kí ni èmi ó ṣe pẹ̀lú rẹ, Efraimu? Kí ni èmi ó ṣe pẹ̀lú rẹ, Juda? Ìfẹ́ rẹ dàbí ìkùùkuu òwúrọ̀ bí ìrì ìdájí tí ó kọjá lọ kíákíá.
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.

6 For piety I desired, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God, more than burnt-offerings.
Nítorí àánú ni mo fẹ́, kì í ṣe ẹbọ; àti ìmọ̀ Ọlọ́run ju ọrẹ ẹbọ sísun lọ.
7 But they, like an ordinary man, have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.

8 Gil'ad is become a city of workers of wickedness, is full of traces of blood.
Gileadi jẹ́ ìlú àwọn ènìyàn búburú tí ń ṣiṣẹ́ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀, a sí ti fi ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ bà á jẹ́.
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.

10 On the house of Israel have I seen a horrible thing: there is lewdness in Ephraim, Israel is become defiled.
Mo ti rí ohun tó ba ni lẹ́rù ní ilé Israẹli. Níbẹ̀ Efraimu, fi ara rẹ̀ fún àgbèrè Israẹli sì di aláìmọ́.
11 Also for thee, O Judah, will a harvest be prepared, when I bring back the captivity of my people.
“Àti fún ìwọ, Juda, a ti yan ọjọ́ ìkórè rẹ. “Nígbà tí mo bá fẹ́ dá ohun ìní àwọn ènìyàn mi padà,
