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.
“Uyai tidzokere kuna Jehovha. Akatibvambura kutiita zvidimbu zvidimbu, asi achatiporesa; akatikuvadza, asi achasungazve mavanga edu.
2 He revives us after two days, In the third day He raises us up, And we live before Him.
Mushure mamazuva maviri achatimutsiridza; pazuva rechitatu achatidzorazve, kuti tirarame pamberi 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.”
Ngatimuzivei iye Jehovha; ngatishingairirei kumuziva. Zvirokwazvo sokubuda kwezuva, achaonekwa; achauya kwatiri semvura yomuchando, semvura yebumharutsva inodiridza nyika.”
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.
“Ndichaiteiko newe, Efuremu? Ndichaiteiko newe, Judha? Rudo rwenyu rwakafanana nemhute yamangwanani, sedova ramangwanani rinopera.
5 Therefore I have hewed by prophets, I have slain them by sayings of My mouth, And My judgments go forth to the light.
Naizvozvo ndinokugurai ndichikuitai zvidimbu zvidimbu navaprofita vangu, ndakakuurayai namashoko omuromo wangu, kutonga kwangu kwakapenya semheni kwamuri.
6 For kindness I desired, and not sacrifice, And a knowledge of God above burnt-offerings.
Nokuti ndinoda ngoni, kwete zvibayiro, nokuziva Mwari kupfuura zvipiriso zvinopiswa.
7 And they, as Adam, transgressed a covenant, There they dealt treacherously against Me.
SaAdhamu, vakaputsa sungano, vakanga vasina kutendeka kwandiri ipapo.
8 Gilead [is] a city of workers of iniquity, Slippery from blood.
Gireadhi iguta ravarume vakaipa, rakasvibiswa norunyoro rwetsoka dzeropa.
9 And as bands wait for a man, A company of priests murder—the way to Shechem, For they have done wickedness.
Samakororo anovandira munhu, ndizvo zvinoita boka ravaprista. Vanouraya vanhu panzira inoenda kuShekemu, vachipara mhosva dzinonyadzisa.
10 In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing, There [is] the whoredom of Ephraim—Israel is defiled.
Ndakaona chinhu chakaipa kwazvo muimba yaIsraeri. Imomo Efuremu anoita ufeve uye Israeri anosvibiswa.
11 Also, O Judah, a harvest is appointed to you, In My turning back [to] the captivity of My people!”
“Nokwauriwo iwe, Judha, kukohwa kwatarwa. “Pose pandichadzorera maropafadzo avanhu vangu.
