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 tribulatione sua mane consurgent ad me: Venite, et revertamur ad Dominum,
2 He revives us after two days, In the third day He raises us up, And we live before Him.
quia ipse cepit, et sanabit nos; percutiet, et curabit nos.
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.”
Vivificabit nos post duos dies; in die tertia suscitabit nos, et vivemus in conspectu ejus. Sciemus, sequemurque ut cognoscamus Dominum: quasi diluculum præparatus est egressus ejus, et veniet quasi imber nobis temporaneus et serotinus terræ.
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.
Quid faciam tibi, Ephraim? quid faciam tibi, Juda? misericordia vestra quasi nubes matutina, et quasi ros mane pertransiens.
5 Therefore I have hewed by prophets, I have slain them by sayings of My mouth, And My judgments go forth to the light.
Propter hoc dolavi in prophetis; occidi eos in verbis oris mei: et judicia tua quasi lux egredientur.
6 For kindness I desired, and not sacrifice, And a knowledge of God above burnt-offerings.
Quia misericordiam volui, et non sacrificium; et scientiam Dei plus quam holocausta.
7 And they, as Adam, transgressed a covenant, There they dealt treacherously against Me.
Ipsi autem sicut Adam transgressi sunt pactum: ibi prævaricati sunt in me.
8 Gilead [is] a city of workers of iniquity, Slippery from blood.
Galaad civitas operantium idolum, supplantata sanguine.
9 And as bands wait for a man, A company of priests murder—the way to Shechem, For they have done wickedness.
Et quasi fauces virorum latronum, particeps sacerdotum, in via interficientium pergentes de Sichem: quia scelus operati sunt.
10 In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing, There [is] the whoredom of Ephraim—Israel is defiled.
In domo Israël vidi horrendum: ibi fornicationes Ephraim, contaminatus est Israël.
11 Also, O Judah, a harvest is appointed to you, In My turning back [to] the captivity of My people!”
Sed et Juda, pone messem tibi, cum convertero captivitatem populi mei.
