Hosea 6
1 Come, and let us return unto Yahweh! for, he, hath torn, that he might heal us, —smitten, that he might bind us up.
“Biuru mondo wadog ir Jehova Nyasaye. Osekidhowa matindo tindo to obiro changowa; osehinyowa to obiro tweyo adhondewa.
2 He will bring us to life, after two days, —on the third day, will he raise us up, that we may live before him.
Bangʼ ndalo ariyo obiro duogo chunywa to e odiechiengʼ mar adek obiro resowa, mondo omi wadag kode.
3 Then let us know—let us press on to know—Yahweh, Like the dawn, is his coming forth assured, —that he may come like a down-pour upon us, like the harvest-rain, [and] the seed-rain of the land.
Waluonguru Jehova Nyasaye; wadhiuru nyime gi luongo nyinge. Mana kaka chiengʼ wuok, e kaka obiro wuok; enobi irwa mana ka kodh chwiri, mana ka koth mabiro bangʼ chwiri mamiyo lowo bedo mangʼich.”
4 What can I do unto thee, O Ephraim? What can I do unto thee, O Judah? for, your lovingkindness, is like a morning cloud, yea, like the dew, early departing!
“Angʼo madatimni Efraim? Angʼo ma datim kodi, in Juda? Herani chalo gi ongʼwengʼo mar okinyi, kata gi thoo mar okinyi malal nono ka nyango tegno.
5 For this cause, have I hewn them in pieces by the prophets, I have slain them by the sayings of my mouth, —and, my justice, as a light goeth forth.
Emomiyo an kaachiel gi jonabi maga wangʼadou matindo tindo, ne anegou gi weche mawuok e dhoga; buche mane angʼadonu nobiro kuomo mapiyo mana ka mil polo.
6 For, lovingkindness, I desired, and not sacrifice, —and the knowledge of God, more than ascending-offerings.
Nimar adwaro ni ukech joweteu, to ok ni uchiwna misango, kendo ngʼeyo Nyasaye ber moloyo misengini miwangʼo pep.
7 But, they, like Adam, have transgressed a covenant, —There, have they dealt treacherously with me.
Mana kaka Adam, giseketho singruok mane atimo kodgi, ne ok gibedo jo-adier koda e ndalono.
8 Gilead, is a city of workers of iniquity, —tracked with blood.
Gilead en dala machwo ma jo-mahundu odakie, en dala mosechwerie remb ji.
9 And, like liers in wait for a man, in troops, is a band of priests, on the road, will they murder towards Shechem, —because, a shameful deed, they have done.
Jodolo chalo mana gi jomecho ma pondo ne ji e dir yo, ka girito ngʼat makadho mondo gima. Gineko e yo madhi Shekem, gitimo timbe mahundu makwodo wich.
10 In the house of Israel, have I seen a horrible thing, —there, the unchastity of Ephraim, defiled is Israel.
Aseneno gima lich e od Israel. Kanyo Efraim osechiwore ne chode kendo Israel osedwanyore.
11 Judah too! a harvest is appointed for thee, —in that I will bring back the captivity of my people.
“To un bende jo-Juda kinde ma ingʼadonue bura osechopo. “Abiro gwedho ogandana e kinde manaduogie ka gia e twech,
