Hosea 6
1 “Come! Let’s return to the LORD; for he has torn us to pieces, and he will heal us; he has injured us, and he will bind up our wounds.
In tribulatione sua mane consurgent ad me: Venite, et revertamur ad Dominum:
2 After two days he will revive us. On the third day he will raise us up, and we will live before him.
quia ipse cepit, et sanabit nos: percutiet, et curabit nos.
3 Let’s acknowledge the LORD. Let’s press on to know the LORD. As surely as the sun rises, the LORD will appear. He will come to us like the rain, like the spring rain that waters the earth.”
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 shall I do to you? Judah, what shall I do to you? For your love is like a morning cloud, and like the dew that disappears early.
Quid faciam tibi Ephraim? quid faciam tibi Iuda? misericordia vestra quasi nubes matutina, et quasi ros mane pertransiens.
5 Therefore I have cut them to pieces with the prophets; I killed them with the words of my mouth. Your judgements are like a flash of lightning.
Propter hoc dolavi in prophetis, occidi eos in verbis oris mei: et iudicia tua quasi lux egredientur.
6 For I desire mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
Quia misericordiam volui, et non sacrificium, et scientiam Dei plusquam holocausta.
7 But they, like Adam, have broken the covenant. They were unfaithful to me there.
Ipsi autem sicut Adam transgressi sunt pactum, ibi praevaricati sunt in me.
8 Gilead is a city of those who work iniquity; it is stained with blood.
Galaad civitas operantium idolum, supplantata sanguine.
9 As gangs of robbers wait to ambush a man, so the company of priests murder on the path towards Shechem, committing 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. There is prostitution in Ephraim. Israel is defiled.
In domo Israel vidi horrendum: ibi fornicationes Ephraim: contaminatus est Israel.
11 “Also, Judah, there is a harvest appointed for you, when I restore the fortunes of my people.
Sed et Iuda pone messem tibi, cum convertero captivitatem populi mei.
