Hosea 6
1 Come so let us return to Yahweh for he he has torn to pieces and he will heal us he has struck and he will bind up us.
“Njooni, tumrudie Bwana. Ameturarua vipande vipande lakini atatuponya; ametujeruhi lakini atatufunga majeraha yetu.
2 He will restore to life us from two days on the day third he will raise up us and we may live before him.
Baada ya siku mbili atatufufua; katika siku ya tatu atatuinua, ili tuweze kuishi mbele zake.
3 And let us know let us pursue to know Yahweh like [the] dawn [is] steadfast going forth his so he may come like the rain to us like [the] spring rain [which] it waters [the] land.
Tumkubali Bwana, tukaze kumkubali yeye. Kutokea kwake ni hakika kama vile kuchomoza kwa jua; atatujia kama mvua za masika, kama vile mvua za vuli ziinyweshavyo nchi.”
4 What? will I do to you O Ephraim what? will I do to you O Judah and loyalty your [is] like a cloud of [the] morning and like dew rising early going.
“Nifanye nini nawe, Efraimu? Nifanye nini nawe, Yuda? Upendo wako ni kama ukungu wa asubuhi, kama umande wa alfajiri utowekao.
5 There-fore I will cut [them] in pieces by the prophets I will kill them by [the] words of mouth my and judgments your [is] light [which] it goes forth.
Kwa hiyo ninawakata ninyi vipande vipande kwa kutumia manabii wangu; nimewaua ninyi kwa maneno ya kinywa changu, hukumu zangu zinawaka kama umeme juu yenu.
6 For covenant loyalty I desire and not sacrifice and [the] knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
Kwa maana nataka rehema, wala si dhabihu, kumkubali Mungu zaidi kuliko sadaka za kuteketezwa.
7 And they like Adam they have transgressed [the] covenant there they dealt treacherously with me.
Wamevunja Agano kama Adamu: huko hawakuwa waaminifu kwangu.
8 Gilead [is] a town of doers of wickedness tracked from blood.
Gileadi ni mji wenye watu waovu, umetiwa madoa kwa nyayo za damu.
9 And as wait for a person marauding bands an association of priests [the] way they murder Shechem towards for wickedness they have done.
Kama wanyangʼanyi wamviziavyo mtu, ndivyo magenge ya makuhani wafanyavyo; wanaulia watu kwenye njia iendayo Shekemu, wakifanya uhalifu wa aibu.
10 In [the] house of Israel I have seen (a horrible [thing] *Q(k)*) [is] there prostitution [belongs] to Ephraim it has made itself unclean Israel.
Nimeona jambo la kutisha katika nyumba ya Israeli. Huko Efraimu amejitolea kwa ukahaba na Israeli amenajisika.
11 Also O Judah he has appointed a harvest for you when turn back I [the] captivity of people my.
“Pia kwa ajili yako, Yuda, mavuno yameamriwa. “Wakati wowote ningerejesha neema ya watu wangu,
