Hosea 6
1 “Come, let us return to Yahweh. For he has torn us to pieces, but he will heal us; he has injured us, but he will bandage our wounds.
In tribulatione sua mane consurgent ad me: Venite, et revertamur ad Dominum:
2 After two days he will revive us; he will raise us up on the third day, and we will live before him.
quia ipse cepit, et sanabit nos: percutiet, et curabit nos.
3 Let us know Yahweh; let us press on to know Yahweh. His coming out is as sure as the dawn; he will come to us like the showers, like the spring rains that water the land.”
Vivificabit nos post duos dies: in die tertia suscitabit nos, et vivemus in conspectu eius. Sciemus, sequemurque ut cognoscamus Dominum: quasi diluculum praeparatus est egressus eius, et veniet quasi imber nobis temporaneus et serotinus terrae.
4 Ephraim, what will I do with you? Judah, what will I do with you? Your faithfulness is like a morning cloud, like the dew that goes away early.
Quid faciam tibi Ephraim? quid faciam tibi Iuda? misericordia vestra quasi nubes matutina, et quasi ros mane pertransiens.
5 So I have cut them to pieces by the prophets, I have killed them with the words of my mouth. Your decrees are like the light that shines out.
Propter hoc dolavi in prophetis, occidi eos in verbis oris mei: et iudicia tua quasi lux egredientur.
6 For I desire faithfulness and not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
Quia misericordiam volui, et non sacrificium, et scientiam Dei plusquam holocausta.
7 Like Adam they have broken the covenant; they were unfaithful to me.
Ipsi autem sicut Adam transgressi sunt pactum, ibi praevaricati sunt in me.
8 Gilead is a city of evildoers with footprints of blood.
Galaad civitas operantium idolum, supplantata sanguine.
9 As gangs of robbers wait for someone, so the priests band together to commit murder on the way to Shechem; they have committed shameful crimes.
Et quasi fauces virorum latronum, particeps sacerdotum, in via interficientium pergentes de Sichen: quia scelus operati sunt.
10 In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing; Ephraim's prostitution is there, and Israel has become unclean.
In domo Israel vidi horrendum: ibi fornicationes Ephraim: contaminatus est Israel.
11 For you also, Judah, a harvest has been appointed, when I will restore the fortunes of my people.
Sed et Iuda pone messem tibi, cum convertero captivitatem populi mei.
