< 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.
Na mwet uh fahk, “Lela kut in folokla nu yurin LEUM GOD! El sekuti, ac El ac fah akkeyekutla. El kantekuti, tuh El ac fah pwelah kinet kacsr uh.
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.
Inmasrlon len luo ku tolu, El ac akmoulyekutyak, ac kut ac sifilpa muta yorol.
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.
Lela kut in srike in etu LEUM GOD. Pwayena lah El ac tuku nu yorosr oana ke faht uh takak ke lotutang nukewa, ac oana ke af uh ac kahki meet liki pacl in fokla fokinsak uh.”
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!
Tusruktu LEUM GOD El fahk, “Israel ac Judah, mea nga ac oru nu suwos uh? Lungse lowos nu sik uh sa na wanginla oana ohk ke kusrun len, ac oana aunfong su sa na in wanginla ke lotutang.
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.
Pa inge sripa se sis nga supwaot mwet palu luk in fahkak kas in nununku ac kunausla nu suwos. Ma nga enenu suwos uh arulana kalem:
6 For, lovingkindness, I desired, and not sacrifice, —and the knowledge of God, more than ascending-offerings.
Nga enenu lungse kawil lowos, ac tia mwe kisa ke kosro. Wona sik mwet luk uh in eteyu, liki na elos in orek kisa firir nu sik.
7 But, they, like Adam, have transgressed a covenant, —There, have they dealt treacherously with me.
“Tusruk, in pacl se na elos utyak nu in acn Adam, elos kunausla wuleang luk su nga orala yorolos.
8 Gilead, is a city of workers of iniquity, —tracked with blood.
Siti Gilead sie acn su tingtingi ke mwet koluk ac mwet akmas.
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.
Mwet tol elos oana u in mwet sulallal su wikwik in soano mwet. Finne inkanek nu yen mutal in acn Shechem, elos orek akmas pac we. Elos pwapani in oru ma koluk inge nukewa.
10 In the house of Israel, have I seen a horrible thing, —there, the unchastity of Ephraim, defiled is Israel.
Nga liye sie ma arulana koluk in Israel: mwet luk elos tiana pwaye nu sik ke sripen elos alu nu ke ma sruloala.
11 Judah too! a harvest is appointed for thee, —in that I will bring back the captivity of my people.
“Ac nu suwos mwet Judah, nga oakiya tari sie pacl in kai nu suwos ke sripen orekma lowos.
