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.
Boya, tozonga epai na Yawe! Akati-kati biso solo na biteni, kasi akobikisa biso; azokisaki biso, kasi akotia kisi na bapota na biso.
2 He revives us after two days, In the third day He raises us up, And we live before Him.
Sima na mikolo mibale, akopesa biso lisusu bomoi; na mokolo ya misato, akotelemisa biso lisusu mpo ete tozala na bomoi liboso na Ye.
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.”
Toyeba Yawe, toluka penza koyeba Ye; ndenge tongo etanaka solo, ndenge wana mpe akomonana: akoya epai na biso lokola mvula, lokola mvula oyo enokaka na pwasa mpe epolisaka mabele.
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.
Efrayimi, nasala yo lisusu nini? Yuda, nasala yo lisusu nini? Bolingo na bino mpo na Ngai ezali lokola londende ya tongo, lokola mamwe oyo elimwaka noki.
5 Therefore I have hewed by prophets, I have slain them by sayings of My mouth, And My judgments go forth to the light.
Yango wana, na maloba ya basakoli na Ngai, nazali kokata-kata bino na biteni; na maloba ya monoko na Ngai, nazali koboma bino, mpe bitumbu ezali kokweyela bino lokola mokalikali.
6 For kindness I desired, and not sacrifice, And a knowledge of God above burnt-offerings.
Pamba te nasepelaka na boboto koleka mbeka, mpe na boyebi ya Nzambe koleka mbeka ya kotumba.
7 And they, as Adam, transgressed a covenant, There they dealt treacherously against Me.
Ndenge kaka Adamu asalaki, bango mpe babukaki boyokani na Ngai; kuna, bazalaki sembo te liboso na Ngai.
8 Gilead [is] a city of workers of iniquity, Slippery from blood.
Galadi ezali engumba ya bato mabe, etonda na bilembo ya makila.
9 And as bands wait for a man, A company of priests murder—the way to Shechem, For they have done wickedness.
Ndenge babomi babombamaka mpo na koluka kosala bato mabe, ndenge wana mpe Banganga-Nzambe basalaka: babomaka bato na nzela ya Sishemi; ezali likambo ya somo penza!
10 In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing, There [is] the whoredom of Ephraim—Israel is defiled.
Kati na libota ya Isalaele, namonaki makambo ya somo makasi: Efrayimi amipesaki na kindumba, mpe Isalaele akomaki mbindo.
11 Also, O Judah, a harvest is appointed to you, In My turning back [to] the captivity of My people!”
Yo mpe lisusu, Yuda, tango ya kobuka mbuma ebongisami mpo na yo, sima na Ngai kozongisa bomengo ya bato na Ngai.
