Hosea 6
1 Come, and let us return to the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.
Antao, himpoly am’ Iehovà tika; Ie ty nandrimitse, naho ie ty hampijangañe antika, Ie ty namofoke, naho ie ty hampidiañe antika.
2 After two days will he revive us: in the third day will he raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.
Afake roe andro le hampiveloma’e, amy andro fahateloy ro hampitroara’e, himoneñan-tika am-pivazohoa’e eo.
3 Then shall we know, [if] we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he will come to us as the rain, as the latter [and] former rain to the earth.
Le hahafohiñe tika, naho himane hahafohiñe Iehovà; Mionjoñe re manahake ty manjirik’àndro; le hivotrak’ amantika manahake o orañeo, i oram-pigadoñañey, naho i orañe aolo an-tane atoiy.
4 O Ephraim, what shall I do to thee? O Judah, what shall I do to thee? for your goodness [is] as the morning cloud, and as the early dew it goeth away.
Ry Efraime, ino ty hanoako ama’o? Ry Iehodà, ino ty hanoako azo? Hoe mika ty hasoa’o; mimeatse añe te maraindray manahake o misafononokeo.
5 Therefore have I hewed [them] by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments [are as] the light [that] goeth forth.
Aa le nihatsafeko amo mpitokio, nizamaneko am-pivolam-bavako; hoe fipelaran-kelatse ty fizakañ’ azo.
6 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice: and the knowledge of God more than burnt-offerings.
Toe fiferenaiñañe ty paiako, fa tsy soroñe; naho ty fahafohinañe an’Andrianañahare te amo engan-koroañeo.
7 But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.
Fe manahake i Dame t’ie nivalike amy fañinay; izay ty niolà’ iareo amako.
8 Gilead [is] a city of them that work iniquity, [and is] polluted with blood.
Rova’ o mpikitro-draha ratio t’i Gilade, tsitsike lian-dio.
9 And as troops of robbers wait for a man, [so] the company of priests murder in the way by consent: for they commit lewdness.
Hoe firimbo-malaso mivoñoñe ondaty, ty fañohofa’ i fivorim-pisoroñey loza an-tevan-dala’ i Sekème eo; toe haloloañe ty anoe’ iereo;
10 I have seen a horrible thing in the house of Israel: there [is] the prostitution of Ephraim, Israel is defiled.
Naharendreke haleorañe añ’anjomba’ Israele ao iraho; zoeñe e Efraime ao ty hatsimirirañe, naho naniva vatañe t’Israele.
11 Also, O Judah, he hath set a harvest for thee, when I returned the captivity of my people.
F’ie nifotoañeko san-kavokaran- drehe r’Iehodà, ie hampoliko ty fandrohizañe ondatikoo.
