Hosea 6
1 'Come, and we turn back unto Jehovah, For He hath torn, and He doth heal us, He doth smite, and He bindeth us up.
“Biuru mondo wadog ir Jehova Nyasaye. Osekidhowa matindo tindo to obiro changowa; osehinyowa to obiro tweyo adhondewa.
2 He doth revive us after two days, In the third day He doth raise us up, And we live before Him.
Bangʼ ndalo ariyo obiro duogo chunywa to e odiechiengʼ mar adek obiro resowa, mondo omi wadag kode.
3 And we know — we pursue to know Jehovah, As the dawn prepared is His going forth, And He cometh in as a shower to us, As gathered rain — sprinkling earth.'
Waluonguru Jehova Nyasaye; wadhiuru nyime gi luongo nyinge. Mana kaka chiengʼ wuok, e kaka obiro wuok; enobi irwa mana ka kodh chwiri, mana ka koth mabiro bangʼ chwiri mamiyo lowo bedo mangʼich.”
4 What do I do to thee, O Ephraim? What do I do to thee, O Judah? Your goodness [is] as a cloud of the morning, And as dew rising early — going.
“Angʼo madatimni Efraim? Angʼo ma datim kodi, in Juda? Herani chalo gi ongʼwengʼo mar okinyi, kata gi thoo mar okinyi malal nono ka nyango tegno.
5 Therefore I have hewed by prophets, I have slain them by sayings of My mouth, And My judgments to the light goeth forth.
Emomiyo an kaachiel gi jonabi maga wangʼadou matindo tindo, ne anegou gi weche mawuok e dhoga; buche mane angʼadonu nobiro kuomo mapiyo mana ka mil polo.
6 For kindness I desired, and not sacrifice, And a knowledge of God above burnt-offerings.
Nimar adwaro ni ukech joweteu, to ok ni uchiwna misango, kendo ngʼeyo Nyasaye ber moloyo misengini miwangʼo pep.
7 And they, as Adam, transgressed a covenant, There they dealt treacherously against me.
Mana kaka Adam, giseketho singruok mane atimo kodgi, ne ok gibedo jo-adier koda e ndalono.
8 Gilead [is] a city of workers of iniquity, Slippery from blood.
Gilead en dala machwo ma jo-mahundu odakie, en dala mosechwerie remb ji.
9 And as bands do wait for a man, A company of priests do murder — the way to Shechem, For wickedness they have done.
Jodolo chalo mana gi jomecho ma pondo ne ji e dir yo, ka girito ngʼat makadho mondo gima. Gineko e yo madhi Shekem, gitimo timbe mahundu makwodo wich.
10 In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing, There [is] the whoredom of Ephraim — defiled is Israel.
Aseneno gima lich e od Israel. Kanyo Efraim osechiwore ne chode kendo Israel osedwanyore.
11 Also, O Judah, appointed is a harvest to thee, In My turning back [to] the captivity of My people!
“To un bende jo-Juda kinde ma ingʼadonue bura osechopo. “Abiro gwedho ogandana e kinde manaduogie ka gia e twech,
