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].
Magsiparito kayo, at tayo'y manumbalik sa Panginoon; sapagka't siya'y lumapa, at pagagalingin niya tayo; siya'y nanakit, at kaniyang tatapalan tayo.
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.
Pagkatapos ng dalawang araw ay muling bubuhayin niya tayo: sa ikatlong araw ay ibabangon niya tayo, at tayo'y mangabubuhay sa harap niya.
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).”
At ating kilalanin, tayo'y magpatuloy upang makilala ang Panginoon: ang kaniyang paglabas ay tunay na parang umaga; at siya'y paririto sa atin na parang ulan, na parang huling ulan na dumidilig ng lupa.
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].
Oh Ephraim, ano ang gagawin ko sa iyo? Oh Juda, ano ang gagawin ko sa iyo? sapagka't ang inyong kabutihan ay parang ulap sa umaga, at parang hamog na lumalabas na maaga.
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.
Kaya't aking pinutol sila sa pamamagitan ng mga propeta; aking pinatay sila ng mga salita ng aking bibig; at ang iyong mga kahatulan ay parang liwanag na lumalabas.
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].
Sapagka't ako'y nagnanasa ng kaawaan, at hindi hain; at ng pagkakilala sa Dios higit kay sa mga handog na susunugin.
7 But they have refused to obey my agreement, [just] like Adam did; they have not been faithful to me.
Nguni't sila gaya ni Adan ay sumalangsang sa tipan: doo'y nagsigawa silang may paglililo laban sa akin.
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].
Ang Galaad ay bayang gumagawa ng kasamaan; tigmak sa dugo.
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.
At kung paanong ang mga pulutong ng mga tulisan na nagsisiabang sa isang tao, ay gayon ang pulutong ng mga saserdote na nagsisipatay sa daan na dakong Sichem; Oo, sila'y gumawa ng kahalayan.
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.
Sa sangbahayan ni Israel ay nakakita ako ng kakilakilabot na bagay: doo'y nagpatutot ang Ephraim, ang Israel ay napahamak.
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,”
Sa iyo man, Oh Juda, may takdang paggapas, pagka aking ibabalik ang nangabihag sa aking bayan.
