Hosea 6
1 "Come, and let us return to YHWH; for he has torn us to pieces, and he will heal us; he has injured us, and he will bind up our wounds.
“Uyai tidzokere kuna Jehovha. Akatibvambura kutiita zvidimbu zvidimbu, asi achatiporesa; akatikuvadza, asi achasungazve mavanga edu.

6 For I desire mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
Nokuti ndinoda ngoni, kwete zvibayiro, nokuziva Mwari kupfuura zvipiriso zvinopiswa.
7 But they, like Adam, have broken the covenant. They were unfaithful to me, there.
SaAdhamu, vakaputsa sungano, vakanga vasina kutendeka kwandiri ipapo.
8 Gilead is a city of evildoers; it is stained with blood.
Gireadhi iguta ravarume vakaipa, rakasvibiswa norunyoro rwetsoka dzeropa.
9 As gangs of robbers wait to ambush a man, so the company of priests murder in the way toward Shechem, committing shameful crimes.
