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.
In her tribulacioun thei schulen rise eerli to me. Come ye, and turne we ayen to the Lord;
2 He revives us after two days, In the third day He raises us up, And we live before Him.
for he took, and schal heele vs; he schal smyte, and schal make vs hool.
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.”
He schal quykene vs after twei daies, and in the thridde dai he schal reise vs, and we schulen lyue in his siyt. We schulen wite, and sue, that we knowe the Lord. His goyng out is maad redi at the morewtid, and he schal come as a reyn to vs, which is timeful and lateful to the erthe.
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.
Effraym, what schal Y do to thee? Juda, what schal Y do to thee? Youre merci is as a cloude of the morewtid, and as deew passynge forth eerli.
5 Therefore I have hewed by prophets, I have slain them by sayings of My mouth, And My judgments go forth to the light.
For this thing Y hewide in profetis, Y killide hem in the wordis of my mouth;
6 For kindness I desired, and not sacrifice, And a knowledge of God above burnt-offerings.
and thi domes schulen go out as liyt. For Y wolde merci, and not sacrifice, and Y wolde the kunnyng of God, more than brent sacrificis.
7 And they, as Adam, transgressed a covenant, There they dealt treacherously against Me.
But thei as Adam braken the couenaunt; there thei trespassiden ayens me.
8 Gilead [is] a city of workers of iniquity, Slippery from blood.
Galaad the citee of hem that worchen idol, is supplauntid with blood; and
9 And as bands wait for a man, A company of priests murder—the way to Shechem, For they have done wickedness.
as the chekis of men `that ben theues. Partener of prestis sleynge in the weie men goynge fro Sichem, for thei wrouyten greet trespasse.
10 In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing, There [is] the whoredom of Ephraim—Israel is defiled.
In the hous of Israel Y siy an orible thing; there the fornicaciouns of Effraym.
11 Also, O Judah, a harvest is appointed to you, In My turning back [to] the captivity of My people!”
Israel is defoulid; but also thou, Juda, sette heruest to thee, whanne Y schal turne the caitiftee of my puple.
