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.

“Mommra, momma yɛnsane nkɔ Awurade nkyɛn. Wɔatete yɛn mu asinasini nanso ɔbɛsa yɛn yadeɛ. Wapirapira yɛn nanso ɔbɛkyekyere yɛn apirakuro.

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.

Nnanu akyiri, ɔbɛma yɛanya ahoɔden; nansa so, ɔde yɛn bɛsi yɛn siberɛ na yɛanya nkwa wɔ nʼanim.

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.

Momma yɛnnye Awurade nto mu; momma yɛn nkɔ so nnye no nto mu. Sɛdeɛ awia pue da biara no, ɔbɛpue; ɔbɛba yɛn nkyɛn te sɛ osuo a ɛtɔ awɔberɛ mu anaa osutɔberɛ mu nsuo a ɛfɔ asase.”

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.

“Ɛdeɛn na mɛtumi de wo ayɛ, Efraim? Ɛdeɛn na mɛtumi de wo ayɛ, Yuda? Mo dɔ te sɛ anɔpa bɔ, ɛte sɛ anɔpa bosuo a ɛtu yera.

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.

Mede mʼadiyifoɔ twitwaa mo mu asinasini, mede mʼanum nsɛm kunkumm mo; mʼatemmuo baa mo so sɛ anyinam.

6 For covenant loyalty I desire and not sacrifice and [the] knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.

Mepɛ ahummɔborɔ na ɛnyɛ afɔrebɔ, mepɛ Onyankopɔn ho nimdeɛ sene ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ.

7 And they like Adam they have transgressed [the] covenant there they dealt treacherously with me.

Wɔabu apam no so sɛdeɛ Adam yɛeɛ. Wɔanni me nokorɛ wɔ hɔ.

8 Gilead [is] a town of doers of wickedness tracked from blood.

Gilead yɛ atirimuɔdenfoɔ kuropɔn a mogya anammɔn akeka hɔ.

9 And as wait for a person marauding bands an association of priests [the] way they murder Shechem towards for wickedness they have done.

Sɛdeɛ akwanmukafoɔ ka ɛkwan mu no saa ara na asɔfo kuo no nso yɛ; wɔdi awu wɔ Sekem kwantempɔn so yɛ nnebɔne a ɛyɛ animguaseɛ.

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.

Mahunu ahodwiredeɛ wɔ Israel fie. Ɛhɔ, Efraim kɔ adwamammɔ mu Israel gu ne ho fi.

11 Also O Judah he has appointed a harvest for you when turn back I [the] captivity of people my.

“Na wo Yuda nso, wɔahyɛ otwa berɛ ama wo. “Ɛberɛ biara a mede me nkurɔfoɔ ahonya asane ama wɔn,
