Hosea 6
1 [The Israeli people say, ] “Come, let’s return to Yahweh! He has caused [us] to be injured, but he will heal us. He has caused [us] to be wounded, but [it is as though] he will put bandages on our wounds [MET].
Isala: ili dunu da amane sia: sa, “Ninia da Hina Godema sinidigimu. E da ninima se iasu. Be E da dafawane nini uhinisimu. E da nini fofa: ginisi, be E da nini fofa: gi amo lala: gilisimu.
2 After a very short time he will revive us; in less than three days he will restore us in order that we may live in his presence.
E da eso aduna o udiana ouesalu, nini bu wa: lesimu. Amasea, ninia da Ea midadi amoga bu esalumu.
3 We must try to know Yahweh; [if we do that, ] he will come [and help] us, as surely as the sun rises [every morning], as surely as rain falls every winter/cold season, and as surely as the rain falls again (in the springtime/at the end of the cold season).”
Ninia Hina Gode da Godedafa sia: mu da defea. Eso huluane amoga, hehebolo da maha amola woufo mubi galu gibu da mae yolele osoboga daha. Amo defele, Hina Gode da ninima bu misunu.”
4 [But Yahweh knows they are insincere; ] [so he says to them, ] “You [people of] Israel, and you [people of] Judah, [I do not know] [RHQ] what I should do to you. Your being faithful [to me will disappear as quickly] as [SIM] the morning mist [disappears], like [SIM] the dew [on the ground] that disappears quickly [when the sun shines].
Be Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Isala: ili amola Yuda! Na da alima adi hamoma: bela: ? Alia Nama asigi hou da hahabe mobi defele hedolowane geasa. Amola alia Nama asigi hou da oubi baea amo da hahabe hedolowane geabe defele ba: sa.
5 I warned [HYP] you by [the messages that I gave to] the prophets, [but you did not pay attention to my messages]. Therefore I will completely destroy you; the punishment that I give you will strike you like lightning.
Amaiba: le, Na da Na balofede dunu alima Na wadela: lesimusa: sia: ne iasu ima: ne asunasi dagoi. Alia da Nama sinidigimu Na da hanai. Amola Na da moloiwane amo hou alima olelei, amane.
6 I want [my people] to faithfully love [me] more than [I want them to offer] sacrifices [to me]; [I want them] to know me more than [I want them to] completely burn sacrifices [on the altar].
Na da alia Nama mae yolele asigi hou amo hanai gala. Be alia ohe gobele salasu Na higasa. Na fi dunu da ilia asigi dawa: su ganodini Na hou dawa: mu, amo da ohe gobele salasu hou baligisa.
7 But they have refused to obey my agreement, [just] like Adam did; they have not been faithful to me.
Be Na fi dunu da Ga: ina: ne soge ganodini sa: ili, A:dame moilaiga doaga: le, ilia da Na gousa: su hamoi hedolowane giadofai.
8 Gilead is a city [full] of people who do wicked things; [in the streets] are the bloody footprints [of those who have murdered others].
Gilia: de soge da wadela: i hamosu dunu amola fane legesu dunu amoga nabai gala.
9 The priests are like [SIM] bandits who wait (in ambushes/along the road) to attack people; they murder [people who are walking] on the road to Shechem, and they commit other disgraceful crimes.
Gobele salasu dunu da wamolasu dunu gilisisu amo da logoga desegaligi dialebe agoane ba: sa. Ilia da Siegeme hadigi sogebi ahoasu logo amogawi fane legesu hou hamonana. Amola ilia da amo hanaiba: le hamosa.
10 I have seen horrible things [being done] in Israel [MTY]. The people have abandoned me [like prostitutes who have abandoned their husbands] [MET]; [so the people of] Israel have become unacceptable to me.
Na da Isala: ili soge ganodini wadela: idafa liligi ba: i dagoi. Na fi dunu ilila: da loboga hamoi ‘gode’ ilima nodone sia: ne gadoiba: le, ilia hou wadela: lesi dagoi.
11 And you [people of] Judah, I have appointed a time when I will punish [MET] you, too. Whenever I wanted to enable my people to prosper again,”
Amola dilia Yuda fi dunu! Dilia da wadela: i hou hamobeba: le Na da dilima amolawane se imunusa: eso ilegei dagoi.”
