Hosea 6
1 “Come, and we turn back to YHWH, For He has torn, and He heals us, He strikes, and He binds us up.
“Bwerani, tiyeni tibwerere kwa Yehova. Iye watikhadzula, koma adzatichiritsa. Iye wativulaza, koma adzamanga mabala athu.
2 He revives us after two days, In the third day He raises us up, And we live before Him.
Pakapita masiku awiri adzatitsitsimutsa; pa tsiku lachitatu Iye adzatiukitsa kuti tikhale ndi moyo pamaso pake.
3 And we know—we pursue to know YHWH, His going forth is prepared as the dawn, And He comes in as a shower to us, As spring rain [and] autumn rain to the earth.”
Tiyeni timudziwe Yehova, tiyeni tilimbike kumudziwa Iye. Adzabwera kwa ife mosakayikira konse ngati kutuluka kwa dzuwa; adzabwera kwa ife ngati mvula ya mʼchilimwe, ngati mvula ya nthawi yamphukira imene imakhathamiritsa nthaka.”
4 “What do I do to you, O Ephraim? What do I do to you, O Judah? Your goodness [is] as a cloud of the morning, And as dew rising early—going.
Iwe Efereimu, kodi ndichite nawe chiyani? Kodi ndichite nawe chiyani, iwe Yuda? Chikondi chanu chili ngati nkhungu yammawa, ngati mame a mmamawa amene amakamuka msanga.
5 Therefore I have hewed by prophets, I have slain them by sayings of My mouth, And My judgments go forth to the light.
Choncho ndakuwazani ngati nkhuni kudzera mwa aneneri anga, ndakuphani ndi mawu a pakamwa panga; chigamulo changa chinangʼanima ngati mphenzi pa inu.
6 For kindness I desired, and not sacrifice, And a knowledge of God above burnt-offerings.
Pakuti Ine ndimafuna chifundo osati nsembe, ndi kudziwa Mulungu kulekana ndi nsembe zopsereza.
7 And they, as Adam, transgressed a covenant, There they dealt treacherously against Me.
Monga Adamu, anthuwa aphwanya pangano langa, iwo sanakhulupirike kwa Ine.
8 Gilead [is] a city of workers of iniquity, Slippery from blood.
Giliyadi ndi mzinda wa anthu ochita zoyipa, okhala ndi zizindikiro za kuphana.
9 And as bands wait for a man, A company of priests murder—the way to Shechem, For they have done wickedness.
Monga momwe mbala zimadikirira anthu, magulu a ansembe amachitanso motero; iwo amapha anthu pa njira yopita ku Sekemu, kupalamula milandu yochititsa manyazi.
10 In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing, There [is] the whoredom of Ephraim—Israel is defiled.
Ndaona chinthu choopsa kwambiri mʼnyumba ya Israeli. Kumeneko Efereimu akuchita zachiwerewere, ndipo Israeli wadzidetsa.
11 Also, O Judah, a harvest is appointed to you, In My turning back [to] the captivity of My people!”
“Kunenanso za iwe Yuda, udzakolola chilango. “Pamene ndiwabwezere anthu anga zinthu zabwino.”
