< 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.
“Umaykayo, agsublitayo kenni Yahweh. Ta rinangrangkaynatayo, ngem paimbagennatayonto; sinugatannatayo, ngem bedbedannanto dagiti sugattayo.
2 He revives us after two days, In the third day He raises us up, And we live before Him.
Kalpasan ti dua nga aldaw ket papigsaennatayonto; pagungarennatayonto iti maikatlo nga aldaw, ket agbiagtayonto iti sangoananna.
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.”
Am-ammoentayo ni Yahweh; ikagumaantayo nga am-ammoen ni Yahweh. Ti iyuumayna ket sigurado a kas iti idadateng ti parbangon; umayto isuna kadatayo a kasla arbis, kas iti tudo iti tiempo ti panagrurusing a mangsibog ti daga.”
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.
Efraim, ania ti aramidek kadakayo? Juda, ania ti aramidek kadakayo? Maiyarig ti kinapudnoyo iti angep iti agsapa, a kas iti linnaaw a nasapa a mapukaw.
5 Therefore I have hewed by prophets, I have slain them by sayings of My mouth, And My judgments go forth to the light.
Isu a tinupekko ida babaen kadagiti profeta, pinatayko ida babaen kadagiti sasaok. Maiyarig dagiti bilbilinmo iti silaw nga agranranniag.
6 For kindness I desired, and not sacrifice, And a knowledge of God above burnt-offerings.
Ta tarigagayak ti kinapudno, saan ket a daton, ken ti ad-adda a pannaka-ammoyo kaniak, a Dios ngem kadagiti daton a mapuoran.
7 And they, as Adam, transgressed a covenant, There they dealt treacherously against Me.
Kas kenni Adan, sinalungasingda ti katulagan; saanda a napudno kaniak.
8 Gilead [is] a city of workers of iniquity, Slippery from blood.
Ti Galaad ket siudad dagiti managdakdakes, napnoan kadagiti tugot iti dara.
9 And as bands wait for a man, A company of priests murder—the way to Shechem, For they have done wickedness.
Kas iti panaguray ti bunggoy dagiti agtatakaw iti maysa a tao, kasta met ti bunggoy dagiti papadi nga agpapatay iti dalan nga agturong idiay Sikem; nagaramidda kadagiti nakababain a krimen.
10 In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing, There [is] the whoredom of Ephraim—Israel is defiled.
Iti balay ti Israel ket nakakitaak iti makarimon a banag; impaay ti Efraim dagiti bagbagida iti panagdayaw kadagiti didiosen, ket narugitan ti Israel.
11 Also, O Judah, a harvest is appointed to you, In My turning back [to] the captivity of My people!”
Kasta met kenka Juda, naitudingen ti panagapit, inton isublik dagiti kinabaknang dagiti tattaok.
